00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:05.440
You're listening to kf I AM six
forty wake Up Call with me Amy King

2
00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:14.400
on demand on the iHeartRadio apps KFI
hand KOST HD two, Los Angeles,

3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:24.199
Orange County. It's time for your
morning wake up call. Here's Amy King.

4
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.119
This is your wake up call for
Monday, September eleventh. Good morning,

5
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.200
I'm Amy King. Hope you had
a good weekend. Kono still in

6
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:47.200
a football coma. I got to
go visit the California Wildlife Center on telling

7
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.960
you about that at five thirty five. But here's what's ahead on the wake

8
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.799
up call. The names of nearly
three thousand people killed will be read and

9
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.200
bells will toll at the World Trade
Center Memorial in Manhattan to mark the twenty

10
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.599
second anniversary of the nine to eleven
terrorist attacks. A man's been arrested in

11
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.480
connection with the deadly stabbing at a
metro station in Los Angeles. Police say

12
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.640
the thirty one year old man was
arrested on Saturday night in Vermont, Nolls

13
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:17.920
and is being held on two million
dollars bail in connection with the stabbing.

14
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.840
On September seventh, Russia and North
Korea have confirmed that North Korean leader Kim

15
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.280
Jong UN will be visiting Russia in
the coming days. According to the Kremlin,

16
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.959
Russia wants weapons for its war in
Ukraine. North Korea wants the money

17
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.680
before we get started. I want
to take a look back at twenty two

18
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:47.959
years ago today, I remember exactly
where I was at five forty six am,

19
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.799
and it's twenty two years later and
it's still emotional. Isn't it a

20
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.040
fun way to start the day getting
all emotional? But I mean, it

21
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.959
really did change our lives. On
the morning of September eleventh, nineteen,

22
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:07.599
Al Kaita terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes. The first plane crashed into the North

23
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.400
Tower of the World Trade Center in
New York City. That was at five

24
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:15.120
forty five am our time. Sixteen
minutes later, the second plane hit the

25
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.240
South tower. A third plane smashed
into the Pentagon. The last plane likely

26
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:25.280
destined for the Capitol, but instead
it crashed into a field in Shanksville,

27
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:32.039
Pennsylvania, after passengers fought back and
stopped the hijackers, losing their lives in

28
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:38.680
the process. Almost three thousand people
from ninety three company countries lost their lives

29
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.759
that day. It was the worst
attack on US soil since Pearl Harbor in

30
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.280
nineteen forty one, and I mentioned
I knew I was where I was.

31
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.360
I was sitting in a control room
at a radio station in Portland, Oregon,

32
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.719
when the first plane hit and We're
like, oh wow, what was

33
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.879
that? Something crashed into the World
Trade Center And immediate at my morning show

34
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.919
co host was like, it's a
terrorist attack, and I was like,

35
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.280
no, let's not go there yet. It's probably just a small plane.

36
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.159
It was probably just a little accident. And in the next fifteen minutes,

37
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.759
then the second plane hit and then
we went, Okay, something's really going

38
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.520
on, and but we still didn't
know. We were three thousand miles away.

39
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.360
And then we watched as the events
unfolded throughout that morning and it was

40
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:32.280
just it was shocking and horrifying,
and I'm I think that it brought us

41
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:37.960
together in a way that we haven't
been brought together in almost forever. And

42
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:43.199
I wonder what would happen if the
terrorist at attacks happened today? Would we

43
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.960
be able to come together like we
did at that time? And I know,

44
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:52.240
Kno, you were thirteen when that
happened, Yeah, about to be

45
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:57.759
thirteen twelve in eighth grade, so
you remember it, though because and you

46
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.039
have a very tight connection to K
five on the day of those attacks because

47
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.680
you heard about it and then you
headed off to school and then what happened.

48
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.439
Yeah, so we had to wake
up early. Where our middle school,

49
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.479
you know, it was like twenty
five thirty minutes away, four kids,

50
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.240
so we had to get up early. My brother was watching TV,

51
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.040
which the TV is never on that
early in the morning. It was you

52
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.079
know, five forty five, six
o'clock in the morning. Yeah, so

53
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.720
and then in our head it's just
like, oh, something No, I

54
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.839
don't want to dumb it down to
like a high speed chase, but like,

55
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.079
oh, something's happening on the news. But that's what it was.

56
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.240
I mean, we didn't know at
that point. We were like, oh,

57
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.680
what was it. Oh maybe it's
the little cessna crashed into towers or

58
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.439
something like that. So then you
know, my mom gets us into the

59
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:40.120
car, get off to school,
and about halfway there we're listening to KFI.

60
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.560
We weren't allowed to touch the radio, so it was on, of

61
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.360
course, and he's the one that
let us know that the towers fell.

62
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:54.160
Halfway through going to school and we
I mean, at thirteen, I didn't

63
00:04:54.160 --> 00:05:00.560
know them yeah, but my mom
was letting us know, like, you

64
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.319
guys are gonna be hearing about this
all day. This is a very big

65
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:08.040
deal. So even getting to school, it was like it was just a

66
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.639
weird, eerie feeling through like the
teachers understood, right, So everything was

67
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.759
kind of it felt like a pause, like that day was paused in a

68
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.720
sense. Yeah, And because I
was then, I was again. I

69
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:21.959
was up in Port Lenore and I
wasn't down where you guys are now,

70
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.720
but I was on the air that
whole day because we just didn't know what

71
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.000
to do, and I worked for
a country music station. We stopped the

72
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.720
music and we just talked because everybody
was just so shocked. Were like,

73
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.079
how could this happen? What's going
on? And then, like you said,

74
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:41.399
watching and hearing about the tower,
the first tower coming down, and

75
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:47.920
then watching as the second one came
down, and it just like rocked us

76
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:55.319
to our core, and it just
it's frustrating because I think a lot of

77
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.519
us have forgotten, or there's a
lot of people who were so young when

78
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.639
it happened, they don't know,
they don't understand, and that concerns me.

79
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.360
Yeah, I do remember, our
teachers are actually a few of them,

80
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.759
we didn't do anything. They just
had the TV on. Yeah,

81
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.920
this is what we're doing today.
Like made it a point to make sure

82
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.439
that this is important. I believe. I even have a paper that was

83
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.480
maybe the day after, but it
was like a memorium of nine to eleven

84
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.720
where on the back of it they
wanted us to write down like where we

85
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.600
were at at our age. So
I still have that of where we were

86
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.000
in our recollection at that age of
what actually happened and how it went down.

87
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.600
And I do still have that paper
actually and hold on to it.

88
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:40.560
Yeah. It's one of those moments
that you know, they say there are

89
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.120
moments in your lives that you will
always remember exactly where you were, what

90
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.680
you were doing, and I'll that's
one of them. And I hope we

91
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.959
do remember. I think it's important
to remember because when we forgot, we

92
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:58.959
are destined to repeat. So we're
gonna take a little break. It's not

93
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.399
all going to be. It's a
day of memorial of the almost three thousand

94
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.959
people lost that day, So we
do want to remember and look back,

95
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.600
but we also want to move forward. And before we get into some of

96
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.680
the stories that we're following, in
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Of

97
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.680
course, we're talking about nine to
eleven. It's twenty two years since that

98
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:24.800
day when our world's all changed,
and we're still remembering, we're still honoring

99
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:30.959
those lost that day. Several ceremonies
and remembrances are being held around the Los

100
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.639
Angeles area. LA Mayor baths and
police chief more are going to ring ten

101
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:42.759
bells during a ceremony at nine am
at the Frank Hodgkin Memorial Training Center near

102
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.199
Dodger Stadium in Long Beach. There's
going to be a last alarm tribute at

103
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.439
fire Station one that'll start at nine
eleven am. There's going to also be

104
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.639
ceremonies at all five of the Santa
Monica fire stations, beginning at six forty

105
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.560
five. And sort of interesting,
there's an artifact from the Ground Zero site

106
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.120
that's at fire Station one on Seventh
Street in Santa Monica. It is open

107
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.879
for viewing by the public on business
days. There's also an informal ceremony this

108
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:16.000
morning at Beverly Hills Fire Department.
Hawthorne at City Hall is doing a ceremony

109
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.240
this morning. The Alhambra Fire and
police departments are hosting a nine to eleven

110
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.800
remembrance at nine o'clock this morning.
There's also a remembrance ceremony at nine at

111
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:31.079
the Antelope Valley Fallen Heroes Memorial at
the Antelope Valley Mall in Palmdale, and

112
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:37.200
then in Corona, a civic remembrance
services is being held. It's already underway.

113
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.559
It started at five am at the
Historic Civic Center. City representatives and

114
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.919
others will be standing among a miniature
field of flags representing the twenty nine hundred

115
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.679
seventy seven people killed on nine eleven, two thousand and one, and over

116
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:56.360
roughly the next three hours, attendees
will be reading the names of all those

117
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.279
who were killed on nine to eleven. Let's get started with some of the

118
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.200
stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. Russia and North Korea

119
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.960
have confirmed North Korean leader Kim John
Un will visit Russia in the coming days.

120
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:15.240
South Korea media reported the meeting could
happen as early as tomorrow. US

121
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:20.080
officials say Russian President Putin may be
looking for weapons and ammunition to use in

122
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.279
Ukraine. White House National Security spokesman
John Kirby says no one should be helping

123
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.600
Russia. There will be repercussions should
North Korea decide to go ahead and consummate

124
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.600
this arms deal. Again, we
haven't seen them do that yet, but

125
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.480
if they move ahead, there will
be additional repercussions for North Korea. The

126
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.080
international community and the United States will
look for ways to hold them accountable for

127
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.200
that. Officials say North Korea could
be looking for energy and food aid and

128
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.519
also advanced weapons technologies. Smash and
grab robbers have hit the north Ridge Fashion

129
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.559
Center, Oh Boy another one.
The group of five or six men stole

130
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.039
about twenty thousand dollars worth of perfume
from the Macy's yesterday at about eleven o'clock

131
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:01.600
in the morning. At least say
the robbers ran in through the store doors

132
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.960
and used hammers to smash cases.
They wore black hoodies. A black Infinity

133
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.440
without a license plate was seen leaving
them all. Just a couple weeks ago,

134
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.240
a Macy's and Sherman Oaks was trashed
and ropped, and arrest has been

135
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:18.039
made in connection with the deadly stabbing
at a Metro red line station in downtown

136
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.919
LA. A guy named Randy Nash
was arrested on Saturday, the stabbing happened

137
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.679
Thursday afternoon. Police say it was
an unprovoked attack. A man has been

138
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.799
shot while meditating on the Walk of
Fame in Hollywood. Police say the man

139
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.600
was on the sidewalk just before three
thirty yesterday morning when a guy walked up

140
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.799
and shot him at least once.
The shooter ran off. The man injured

141
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.840
was taken to the hospital. Police
they say they believed the shooting was random

142
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:50.000
and that the guy shot was not
homeless. Police in Morocco how are people

143
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.120
in Morocco rather have been sleeping in
the streets for three nights now because of

144
00:10:54.159 --> 00:11:01.559
the magnitude six point eight earthquake that
hit Marrakesh. ABC's and wins as soldiers

145
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:07.039
and international aid teams and trucks and
helicopters have begun to go into remote mountain

146
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.960
town's hit hardest by the earthquake.
This father saying he and his family were

147
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:16.840
at home when the earthquake hit,
but his eight year old son never made

148
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:22.039
it out. At least seventeen aftershocks, including a magnitude four point five tremor

149
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:28.279
for their damaging buildings. More than
twenty one hundred people have been killed and

150
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.919
that number is expected to rise.
We're going to check in now with ABC's

151
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.399
Aaron Katurski. Good morning, Aaron. It's twenty two years after nine to

152
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.120
eleven, and people are still dying
from what happened that day. They sure

153
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.759
are in numbers that are greater than
the toll on some of the first responders

154
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:54.679
that day. Three hundred forty three
firefighters were killed on nine eleven, three

155
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.519
hundred thirty one since in the twenty
two years since, so nearly the same

156
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:05.120
twenty three police officers that day,
three hundred and sixty in the last twenty

157
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.919
two years from nine eleven related illnesses, cancers, and long ailments. So

158
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.639
so the horror of the day,
the terror of the day, is still

159
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:20.240
being lived and deeply felt by many
in the community, and New York City

160
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:26.679
is commemorating those people as they pass
away. Twenty two years later, on

161
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.919
I believe it was Friday, they
added more names to the Trade Center memorial.

162
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.480
The Fire Department added names to its
its memorial wall, which is this

163
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.080
wall outside its headquarters in Brooklyn,
and those names then added, you know,

164
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:50.000
to the nine eleven memorial here because
their their deaths have been it's been

165
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:56.639
decided we're directly the result of what
happened here, and it's a weird So

166
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.840
you die so publicly on nine eleven, but then you know it's just been

167
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.519
an anguished death for many others who
have lived, you know, unable to

168
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.919
properly breathe, or with cancers,
and you know, not really knowing why.

169
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:15.600
And you hear these incredible stories of
healthy young firefighters that just out of

170
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.799
nowhere suddenly became thick, and you
know, you realize it's because of what

171
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:26.519
they were breathing in as they fought
furiously to try and find others, rescue

172
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.279
others, or then you know,
very quickly recover others in the wreckage of

173
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.960
what had been known as the pile. And that's going to that toll is

174
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.360
going to continue for many more years
to come, and how long I remember

175
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.919
after everything came down. I think
one of the most astounding things about nine

176
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.240
to eleven was we were talking about
earlier how everybody just came together, and

177
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.639
we don't even begin to understand the
enormity of that here in Los Angeles,

178
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:58.039
because we weren't in New York City. As people rushed into help and and

179
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.440
that sort of political unit I think
is probably unimaginable at this stage of our

180
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.919
you know, of our civic life. But there was uh, you know,

181
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.000
firefighters and police officers from all over
the country came here to try and

182
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:16.200
help. And and and you know, the country really experienced an outpouring up

183
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:22.360
emotion. For New York and for
the country. Uh, baseball became a

184
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.840
thing, The Yankees became a thing. It was really it was an interesting

185
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:30.519
moment. And then a lot of
that proved you know, rather fleeting as

186
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:35.200
as you know, other you know, political concerns took over and and but

187
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.600
it did show the best of our
impulses. In some cases, it may

188
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.919
have shown darker impulses too. And
and you know, our capacities for launching

189
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.759
wars that some believe were justified,
some don't still a matter of debate.

190
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.360
So it's a really complicated day.
But at bottom, it's at just the

191
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.080
data, remember the people, And
that's why the ceremonies is so focused on

192
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:03.000
the names and the family. Well, and I'm glad that they're doing that.

193
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.039
I hope we continue to focus on
those people who lost their lives and

194
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.159
continue to and I'm going to continue
my pledge to never forget thank you again.

195
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.120
Aaron Katurski for taking the time this
morning. Here's what we're following in

196
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.960
the KFI twenty four hour news room. Of course, it is the twenty

197
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.559
second anniversary of the nine to eleven
attacks on the World Trade Centers, the

198
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.080
Pentagon, and of course the plane
that went down in Shanksville, Tennessee.

199
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.039
It's being marked with several ceremonies around
the Southland, and of course in New

200
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.759
York City. The Macy's at Northridge
Fashion Centers become the latest target of smash

201
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:41.120
and grab robbers. Up to six
people with hammers wearing hoodies stole about twenty

202
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.039
thousand dollars worth of perfume yesterday morning, then hopped in a car and drove

203
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.600
off before police got there. About
twenty five hundred people came out to celebrate

204
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.919
the Little League World Series champions from
El Segundo. The parade through downtown El

205
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.840
Segundo yesterday wrapped up several celebrations that
included honors at Dodgers Stadium, Angel Stadium,

206
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:02.639
and at LA Memorial Coliseum. At
Saturday is USC Stanford Game. Let's

207
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.360
say good morning now to ABC's Karen
Travers. We're gonna start with how President

208
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.360
Biden is marking this nine to eleven. Then we'll backtrack to what he's been

209
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.240
up to for the past couple of
days. What's he doing today, Karen,

210
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:17.399
Yeah, the President right now is
traveling from Vietnam to Alaska, where

211
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.879
he's going to meet with and deliver
remarks before more than a thousand service members,

212
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.799
first responders, and their families at
a military base. That's going to

213
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:27.240
come up later this afternoon or early
evening our time. Okay, and this,

214
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:32.039
I know I've heard lots of talk
about that he's not in New York

215
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:37.840
City for the nine to eleven commemorations. Is a scheduling thing or do we

216
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:42.159
know why that decision was made.
Presidents don't always go to New York City

217
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.360
for nine to eleven. In the
past, some have monthed at the White

218
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.320
House or at the Pentagon. I
traveled with President Trump to Pennsylvania to the

219
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:53.080
Shanksville Memorial, So it's not always
a traditional thing every year to go to

220
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.440
New York City. The Vice president
is traveling to New York today, show

221
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:02.200
mark the anniversary at the September eleventh
more in Lower Manhattan. Okay, So

222
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:04.440
now let's back up to what he's
been up to. For the past couple

223
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:10.680
of days he was at the G
twenty summit. Anything interesting, revolutionary or

224
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:14.400
shattering come out of that, you
know. The big thing I think was

225
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.359
the effort by the administration to try
to counter China's influence in the region.

226
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:19.799
A lot of talk about that.
That was what most of the questions at

227
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:23.559
the president's press conference focused on,
and the fact that China's President Gi was

228
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.079
not there. President did meet with
his number two, it's the deputy from

229
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:32.240
China who was at the summit.
And then today yesterday in Vietnam, the

230
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:37.000
President announcing a new partnership with the
Vietnamese government. Very significant, of course,

231
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.400
less than fifty years after the end
of the Vietnam War. But there

232
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:45.119
are some critics who are pushing back
because China is excuse me, Vietnam is

233
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.359
a one party communist state, in
questions about their human rights record, and

234
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:55.559
criticizing the administration for this new strategic
partnership and elevation of diplomatic ties. So

235
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.440
is this the first like official partnership
we've had with Vietnam. Ever, it's

236
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.960
just a changing of it, so
of elevating them up the list to a

237
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:08.960
higher level of diplomatic relations. Okay. And and then I also I saw

238
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:14.640
the President talking about that he didn't
meet with Shijing Paydon because he wasn't there,

239
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.359
and he said, it's okay,
We'll be meeting soon. Yeah,

240
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.759
And there's no date yet steps for
that. The White House has said that

241
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.559
it will come at some point.
The President has he hopes to have it

242
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:29.559
happened soon. It maybe in the
fall, maybe in November at its summit

243
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.880
in eight San Francisco of Asian Pacific
leaders. But the President has said it's

244
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.319
not a crisis that the two are
not talking directly, that the two governments

245
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.759
have been engaged. It's not that
there is a complete freeze out between the

246
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.839
US and China, okay. And
it's probably too soon because we just got

247
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:51.279
this information that the Kremlin and North
Korea have confirmed that Kim Jong un is

248
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:55.240
headed to Russia to meet with Putin. Has the White House made any statements

249
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:57.920
about that yet, not yet.
Today. We've asked now that we have

250
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.960
confirmation about that meeting, that we
will have to get back to you guys

251
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.759
on that. Okay, thanks so
much for your time this morning, Karen,

252
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.279
appreciate it as always, touch you
soon. All right, let's get

253
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:10.720
back to some of the stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour newser

254
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.559
Memorials are being held across the US
to mark the twenty two years since the

255
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.079
September eleventh attacks that killed nearly three
thousand people in New York, Washington,

256
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:22.279
DC, and Pennsylvania. A ceremony
in Manhattan will include a moment of silence

257
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.759
at eight forty six am their time
this morning. It's five forty six hour

258
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.640
time when the first hijacked plane hit
the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

259
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.640
ABC's Derek Wallace's Vice president Harris will
be there in place of President Biden.

260
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:41.119
He is marking the occasion in Anchorage, Alaska, at a military base

261
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.599
there. Last week, forty three
names were added to the World Trade Center

262
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.960
Memorial Wall, commemorating firefighters, paramedics, and civilian staff members who have died

263
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:56.039
from illnesses related to rescue and recovery
efforts. The owner of a bicycle shop

264
00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.359
in Irwindale says thieves have stolen about
forty thousand dollars worth of merchandise. The

265
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.559
owners of Irwindale Cycles say the intruders
knew exactly what they were looking for when

266
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.240
they hit two weeks ago. The
breaking happen in the early morning. Five

267
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:12.400
people in masks were seen using an
angle grinder to cut through the steel security

268
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:18.279
bag gate. The bicycles taken were
each more worth more than seventeen hundred dollars.

269
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:23.039
Governor Newsom says he would not appoint
any of the candidates running to replace

270
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:29.079
Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein if she stepped
down before her term ends, which it's

271
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.000
completely unfair to the Democrats that have
worked their tail off. That primary is

272
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.799
just a matter of months away.
I don't want to tip the balance of

273
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.880
that. Newsom made the comments on
Meet the Press. Supporters of Congresswoman Barbara

274
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:45.200
Lee, who's black, believed she
was Newsom's first choice to fill a potential

275
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.039
vacancy, but she's running for the
seat. She's trailing in the polls behind

276
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:56.160
Democratic congress members Adam Schiff and Katie
Porter. Spanish Soccer Federation president Louis ruby

277
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.759
Alice has resigned for kissing a player
on the lips when Spain won the Women's

278
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:04.839
World Cup for the first time.
Player Jenny Hermoso said it was without her

279
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:11.599
consent. Prosecutors presented their case for
potential criminal charges against ruby Alis on Friday

280
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.200
to Spain's National Court in Madrid.
One of the most active volcanoes in the

281
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:21.000
world has begun to erupt after a
two month pause. The Hawaii Volcano Observatory

282
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:26.799
says the eruption was seen yesterday afternoon
at the summit of Kilauea. The volcano's

283
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.440
alert level was raised to warning status
and the aviation color code winter red as

284
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:37.920
scientists evaluate the eruption and related hazards. Kilauea erupted for several weeks in June.

285
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.119
When we come back, I was
out and about this weekend. I

286
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:47.039
got to visit the California Wildlife Center. It rescues and rehabilitates thousands of injured

287
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:48.920
and orphan animals each year, and
we're going to tell you more about that.

288
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.880
This weekend, I was out and
about and with my buddy Nick Poliochini,

289
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.960
we got to visit the California Wildlife
Center. I got to catch up

290
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:02.960
with Jennifer Brandt. She's the executive
director and the person we most need to

291
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:07.160
talk to about this incredibly fabulous organization
that I will tell you it's like this

292
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:12.200
secret, hidden place where they save
lives and not lives of people. We're

293
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:15.960
talking about wild animals, so tell
us what you do here as California Wildlife

294
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:21.680
Center, so we focus on the
rehabilitation and rescue of native California animals.

295
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.279
We have three main departments. We
have Marine Mammals and they go out to

296
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:30.119
the beaches in Malibu and rescue sea
lions, seals, turtles, pin of

297
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.200
heads, cetaceans. Then we have
our OCU which is where we are now,

298
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.759
which is all of our baby animals, and our i SU which is

299
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:40.960
where all our sick and injured animals
are. So if you find a native

300
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:44.160
animal who needs help, we are
the people to go to. Okay,

301
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.759
So if you find like an animal
that has been abandoned, or maybe it's

302
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:51.839
been hit by a car or exactly, some of the most common reasons that

303
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.079
the animals come here is orphaned,
that's the number one most common. But

304
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:03.200
hit by a car, suffering from
redenna side poisoning, being shot at unfortunately

305
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:08.119
is a common reason. Or caught
by a domestic animals so a cat or

306
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:12.000
dog, okay. And behind us
we have the little squirrels, which are

307
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:18.799
absolutely adorable, but they are wild
animals. So when you come and you're

308
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.799
dealing with these animals, there's not
a lot of like lovey human interaction with

309
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.519
them because you want them to be
wild, right, that's one of the

310
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.799
challenges. I think it's the hardest
thing for staff and volunteers is to not

311
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.960
treat them like pets. So we
don't allow our staff or volunteers to speak

312
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.839
to them. We don't want them
to make contact. It's very important that

313
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.559
these animals are not habituated, that
they can be released back into the wild

314
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.640
and live a wild life. Absolutely
okay, And down in the is this

315
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.839
what did you call this? The
This is the OUs Orphan care unit.

316
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:55.240
There are some pigeons and some are
there doubs down. Yeah, there's morning

317
00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:57.680
doves. There's bantil pigeons, which
are actually a native pigeon. They usually

318
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:03.960
live in the woodlands. Some housefinches, goldfinches, probably some mockingbirds. I

319
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.200
think there's a black headed cowbird over
there. So we actually in total care

320
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.680
for over one hundred and seventy different
species here. And last year, how

321
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.039
many animals did you we help?
Slightly over four thousand. We receive about

322
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:19.839
thirty five thousand calls a year from
people who find animals and need help,

323
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:23.720
and we asked them to text a
photo because we want to make sure it's

324
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:29.519
a native animal, and then we
either accept the animal or we give them

325
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.640
resources if it's not an animal that
we care for. Here, okay,

326
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:34.960
and I want to talk about rodentiside
for just one second, because I was

327
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.440
reading you sent a picture of the
animal of the week, and what was

328
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:42.640
happening is some of these animals,
like you had a great horned owl,

329
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:48.119
and the great hornell came in and
was very sick and not doing well and

330
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:49.680
is a success story because he looks
like he's doing great now, but what

331
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:55.079
happened to him? So what happens
is people use rodentisides in their homes and

332
00:24:55.200 --> 00:25:00.400
there's second generation rodenticides that are the
most common right now, and they poison

333
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:03.359
the animal, but it doesn't kill
them right away. It's not like a

334
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.880
mouse trap, so those rodents can
go out of the house. They're weak,

335
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.559
they're not as active as they normally
be, so they're great gray exactly.

336
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:18.680
So our owls are hawks, coyotes, bobcats, all of those animals

337
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:23.880
are picking up those the rodents and
eating them, and then they get an

338
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:27.880
amalgamation of all those poisons in their
blood. It thins their blood because that's

339
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:33.480
what a rodenna side does, and
it's an anticoagulant, and even a tiny

340
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.480
scratch smaller than a millimeter, a
bird like a great horn owl could bleed

341
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.039
out. So when they come here, we're able to treat them and then

342
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.359
we release them. But we do
ask the people, not your rodenna sides,

343
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.319
that they practice exclusion. So the
best best way to get rid of

344
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.559
rodents is to never have them in
your house. So that means sealing all

345
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:57.440
of the places that they might have
crawled in and planting thoughtfully and not letting

346
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:00.400
the rodents come in in the first
place. Yeah. One of our tour

347
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:06.200
guides or educators that we were talking
to earlier said, what you guys focus

348
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.480
on is coexistence because we all live
here, we all got to short share

349
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.920
the space. So how can people
help because I'm sure that nobody. The

350
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.480
money doesn't grow on trees for you. Yes, right. We do not

351
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.920
receive any sustaining government funding. Okay, so of course we love donations.

352
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.759
We are open three hundred and sixty
five days a year. We do not

353
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.160
charge for any of our services,
so of course we love that, and

354
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:32.480
we also are always looking for new
volunteers. We are primarily volunteer run organizations.

355
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:36.039
So we use volunteers for cleaning,
for feeding, for caring for all

356
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.079
of these animals, and we could
not do it without their help. Okay.

357
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:42.240
And if they want to make a
donation get more information about the California

358
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:45.240
Wildlife Center, where do they go? They can visit our website see a

359
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:49.960
wildlife dot org. We have our
instagram is at Sea Wildlife. We have

360
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.440
a TikTok, we have Facebook,
all the regular socials. Okay, great

361
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.440
saving lives. It's a wonderful thing. Thank you, thank you, Jennifer.

362
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.960
Yeah, it was a really really
cool experience. This California Wildlife Center

363
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:06.000
is kind of tucked away in the
hills, so it's not really it's not

364
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:08.480
like there's a big sign saying hey
here's the California Wildlife Center and they take

365
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:14.599
in animals every single day. We
saw a couple being dropped off as we

366
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.759
were taking our tour of the facility, and you know, she was mentioning

367
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:22.680
they've got little tiny things. They've
got squirrels and birds, and they also

368
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.799
had a bobcap up there, but
again we didn't get to see it because

369
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.559
they're rehabilitating it. They're keeping an
eye on it. They have cameras on

370
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:33.279
and stuff, but they're rehabilitating it
so it can be released back into the

371
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:36.680
wild and they have deer there.
And then we did get to see the

372
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:38.880
sea lions and if you want to
check out one of the sea lions who

373
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.799
was totally trying to steal the show
at Amy K King on my Instagram and

374
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:48.759
also at KFI AM six forty.
That was very cool. They're very social,

375
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.119
so we were actually able to see
them, but again wild animals and

376
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.440
they're being released on a regular basis, which is great after their nurse back

377
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:02.039
to help or to health. If
you are interested in donating or volunteering again,

378
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:07.440
they would love for you to get
involved. It's c a Wildlife dot

379
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.400
org. When we come back,
we're gonna be talking to again ABC's Tom

380
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:18.240
Rivers about that American stranded three thousand
feet down in a cave in Turkey.

381
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:21.519
But there is a development and it
looks like he's on his way up,

382
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:25.400
so we're going to find out the
latest on that. Let's say good morning

383
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:30.880
now to ABC's Tom Rivers. Tom. An American is stranded three thousand feet

384
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.720
down in a cave in Turkey,
but there's some good news that he's finally

385
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.440
coming back up exactly. I mean, we've got our team on the ground

386
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:42.480
now in Turkey and this thing's been
boiling for a few days. It involves

387
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:48.920
this forty year old American Mark Dickie, expedition leader in the It's called the

388
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:53.720
Mark Cave District in southern Turkey.
It's it's part of the Taurus Mountains.

389
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:57.720
Down there, said to be the
third deepest cave in the world. H

390
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:03.000
and there we're down about three thousand, four hundred feet. He developed internal

391
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.960
bleeding. So then over the days
that followed, he started coughing of blood.

392
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.240
On the second of September, they
sent down medication, but he was

393
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:15.640
prone and they didn't really know,
you know, what to do. The

394
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.839
rescue teams thought about it for a
while and they said, we will stretch

395
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.200
him out, but it will take
some time. That began on Saturday,

396
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.039
and it's been a slow, laborious
process. The laced up day we've gotten

397
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:32.000
from Anchor from the state disaster Management
team there is that he could possibly be

398
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:36.039
out as early as later today.
So keep watching that one. But it's

399
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:37.799
gonna be one heck of a story
when he gets out, no kidding.

400
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:45.000
So he's been down there since August
thirty first incorrect, He are they saying

401
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.799
what caused the internal bleeding? Is
that like an ulcer or they don't know

402
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.319
yet that they don't know yet,
and you know, fingers crossed it.

403
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.680
We have gotten reports now that his
situation is stabilized, but he can't obviously

404
00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:02.799
use his own power to get out, so in essence that stretching every every

405
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.759
inch, he's being pulled up with
pulleys and almost two hundred teams or excuse

406
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:11.440
me, two hundred members from teams
from eight countries are there to assist.

407
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.240
So it's it's a big, big
group effort. But yeah, it's going

408
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.359
to be one heck of a story
when he gets out. The plan is

409
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:23.680
for him to get local metal medical
attention there and then probably be transferred over

410
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:30.839
to Istanbul for more complete examination and
treatment there. And this guy's he's an

411
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:37.440
experienced he's a cave diver. I
don't know what he's he's a caver,

412
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.240
yeah, he's he's been around the
block. And but one of those things,

413
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.519
you know, if you if you, for whatever reason you get internal

414
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.960
bleeding and you can't move, what
are you gonna do? Over the weekend.

415
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.400
You know, we're following this thing, and uh said to be an

416
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:57.880
experienced individual with his own power down
at thirty four hundred feet normally it would

417
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:02.640
take you about fifty hours to get
to the surface. And at that time

418
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:04.920
they said, look, we're gonna
stretcher this thing. And the difficult thing

419
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:08.640
as well, there's some narrow passages
or you and I could crouch through and

420
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:11.000
work our way that no, no, no, out with a stretcher.

421
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.720
You gotta get these other rescue guys
to chip away at the edges enough to

422
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:19.960
get the stretcher in him through that
you know, narrow bottleneck if you will,

423
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:25.039
and then proceed up up toward the
surface. But as I say,

424
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:29.000
the latest update nine hundred feet down, it seems like a lot, but

425
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:32.200
it's a lot better than it was. And that was an updated about two

426
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:33.960
or three hours ago. So who
knows. He may be filling the blank

427
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:38.880
seven hundred feet below the surface as
we speak. Okay, so you're giving

428
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:45.359
me the heeb gbs just talking about
like trying to get through those small spaces,

429
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:49.839
just like my clustrophobia kind of kicks
in exactly. Yeah, And so

430
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:53.359
he's got to do They take him
off the stretcher for certain areas, or

431
00:31:53.400 --> 00:32:00.400
they literally are using tools to chip
away the side of the cave. We

432
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:02.119
we haven't got the detail work on
that. I think it's probably most more

433
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:06.200
of the latter. But if they
did find a place where they could not

434
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:08.079
you know, or they felt it
was unsafe to move things, they may

435
00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:13.400
well have to take them off the
stretcher and then you know, somehow just

436
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:16.599
you know, without trying to do
any more injury, get him through that

437
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:21.640
passage. We've fold up the stretcher
and then uh, you know, deploy

438
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:23.319
it again on the other side of
the bottleneck. But yeah, it's gonna

439
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:27.319
be It's gonna be a made for
TV movie, I think down the road,

440
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:29.440
that's exactly what I was thinking.
I was like, you know that

441
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:34.400
it's reminding me of the Chilean thirty
or thirty three. Yep, that was

442
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.720
a fabulous movie. Just what a
story that was. And then even baby

443
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:40.960
Jessica remember her, she got down
that well oh yes, yes, yes,

444
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:43.880
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes exactly. I mean she

445
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:45.400
was like twenty feet down, so
it's not quite as big, but it

446
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.359
kind of caught the world's attention.
Yeah, the Chilean when when my former

447
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:53.759
colleagues, Jeffrey Kaufman, was was
covering that for for many many days.

448
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:58.039
Yeah. So, yes, we've
we've had precedents in the past, and

449
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.440
you want to just you know,
crawl your fingers and say, let's get

450
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:05.079
let's get this guy to the surface
and then everybody can breathe a sigh of

451
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:07.039
relief. No kidding. So you
said that there's like two hundred people working

452
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:09.720
on it. How many people do
we know? How many people are actually

453
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:14.039
down in the cave? We don't
know exactly. No, but again,

454
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:16.599
it's a big effort from from eight
different countries. So and as I say,

455
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:21.240
this didn't happen overnight, they've had
weeks or actually more than a week

456
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:22.839
to plan this and saying, how
are we going to do this? Okay,

457
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.880
this is the plan. How are
we going to deploy our personnel,

458
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:30.160
et cetera, et cetera, And
then let's go for it. Let's and

459
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:32.640
that was it. The starting on
Saturday, Saturday morning, they said,

460
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:37.559
okay, the process begins. Okay. And was he caving by himself or

461
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:40.440
did he have a group with him? He was leading a group exactly,

462
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:43.960
Oh okay, and so has the
rest of the group come up or did

463
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:45.960
they stay down with him? Oh, that's a good question. I would

464
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:51.279
assume most of them probably got out, but again maybe a couple stayed around

465
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:54.559
until we've reached the point now where
this is a large, large rescue operation

466
00:33:54.640 --> 00:34:00.319
where you know, people of of
high quality of expertise are down there and

467
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:04.599
they probably have the other explorers saying
okay, please leave right now while we

468
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.599
do our work. Well, I
agree. I think it's going to be

469
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:09.599
a made for TV movie and I
can't wait to hear all the details of

470
00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:14.400
what happened and how they got him
out. You got it, Amy,

471
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:15.320
And like I say, you know, like I said over the weekend,

472
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:21.159
is gonna take days. Hopefully,
if there's no more bottlenecks, we get

473
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:23.480
some good news and it'll happen later
on today. All right, thank you

474
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:28.159
so much, Tom Rivers for the
information. Take care. Let's get back

475
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:30.320
to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour news room.

476
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:37.440
This September eleventh anniversary ceremony at Grands
Ground zero has begun with the tolling

477
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:42.480
of the bells. There has been
a moment of silence twenty two years after

478
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:46.000
the terror attacks, and from here
they're going to read all of the names

479
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:50.920
of the twenty nine hundred and seventy
seven people killed on nine eleven, two

480
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:54.000
thousand and one. Ceremonies to mark
the twenty second anniversary of the nine to

481
00:34:54.000 --> 00:35:00.320
eleven attacks are happening in the Southland. In Corona, a remembrance services underway.

482
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:04.639
It's happening at the Historic Civic Center
where Corona Chamber of Commerce and Corona

483
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.159
Rotary officials will be joined by city
reps and others to stand among a field

484
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:13.440
of miniature flags representing the people killed
on nine to eleven, two thousand and

485
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:16.079
one. The names of all twenty
nine hundred seventy seven are being read.

486
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:21.440
That ceremony is expected to continue until
about ten this morning. A grocery store

487
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:24.480
managers recovering after he was attacked trying
to stop a thief at his store.

488
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:30.119
Sheriff's deputy say the Ralph's manager was
assaulted over the weekend at his store in

489
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:34.000
Temple City. Deputyc the manager was
trying to stop a guy with a knife

490
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.000
from stealing. The suspect punched the
manager in the face, then tried to

491
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:42.480
get away, but was arrested by
deputies waiting outside the store. A man

492
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:45.719
who is in custody for the deadly
stabbing on a metro train in downtown La

493
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:50.599
Randy Nash, was arrested late Saturday. He's being held on two million dollars

494
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:54.920
bail. He's accused of pulling out
a knife and stabbing another man last Thursday

495
00:35:54.960 --> 00:36:00.079
on a subway train in Los Angeles. Officials say the stabbing happened without warning,

496
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:05.559
and that Nash and the person stabbed
don't appear to have known each other.

497
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:10.719
Kaiser will pay more than forty nine
million dollars for illegally dumping hazardous medical

498
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:16.000
waste and patients medical records in two
landfills in California if they don't follow the

499
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:21.360
law. If they're careless with dangerous
waste or sensitive information, the potential for

500
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:25.880
harm is enormous and its widespread.
Attorney General Rob Banta says the settlement is

501
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:32.440
a result of an undercover inspection of
dumpsters at sixteen Kaiser facilities. Kayser is

502
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:38.880
also going to be required to take
steps to prevent future unlawful disposals. The

503
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:43.639
Little League World Series champions have been
honored with a parade and other festivities in

504
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:47.440
El Segundo. The parade on Main
Street yesterday included the El Segundo High School

505
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:52.440
marching band and cheerleaders. About twenty
five hundred people turned out to cheer on

506
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:54.679
the team. The boys on the
All Star Team won five straight games last

507
00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:59.679
month to get to the championship,
and won that game with a walk off

508
00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:05.920
home run. This is KFI and
KOSTHD to Los Angeles, Orange County.
