Speaker 4: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: Big Day, Big Day, and we get to hear that
Speaker 1: voice at Dodger Stadium for several more games because the Dodgers, sorry,
Speaker 1: and clinched the division last night with a seven to
Speaker 1: two win over the Padres Go Boys in Blue. So exciting,
Speaker 1: and so they get the division, which means they get
Speaker 1: to have a buy for the first round of the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So they'll start the playoffs October fifth at home at
Speaker 1: Chavez Ravine.
Speaker 4: Also, today's the day I'm going over the.
Speaker 1: Edge to raise money for the Union Rescue Mission, and
Speaker 1: quite frankly, I'm terrified, but I'm also very excited. I
Speaker 1: was looking at the fundraising page, which is just help
Speaker 1: the number one dot org, where I would love it
Speaker 1: if you would donate, because I'm going to be repelling
Speaker 1: off the Universal Hilton this afternoon, twenty five stories down
Speaker 1: and I was looking at some of the comments and
Speaker 1: Neil Savadra, who's also going over the edge this afternoon,
Speaker 1: said he is afraid of heights, but all the donations
Speaker 1: have really kind of helped motivate him. And I feel
Speaker 1: the exact same way. I am scared to death. But
Speaker 1: thank you so much for the donations that you've given,
Speaker 1: and if you can make donation, we would love it
Speaker 1: because we're actually hiding helping to fight homelessness with the
Speaker 1: Union Rescue Mission. And again the website is just help
Speaker 1: one the number one dot org. Okay, here's what's ahead
Speaker 1: on wake up Call. Helene has been downgraded to a
Speaker 1: tropical storm. The storm has maximum sustained winds of seventy
Speaker 1: miles per hour as it rolls across southern Georgia, and
Speaker 1: it is still causing heavy rains and life threatening storm surge.
Speaker 1: The storm made landfall in Florida's Big Bend region late
Speaker 1: last night. Aighty c's Jim Ryan has the latest on
Speaker 1: the storm, and that's coming up in just a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes. The Port of Los Angeles is closed today
Speaker 1: because of a big rig that overturned and caught fire
Speaker 1: in San Pedro. The forty seven and the Vincent Thomas
Speaker 1: Bridge have been closed since about noon yesterday. The big
Speaker 1: rig was carrying large lithium batteries they caught fire. The
Speaker 1: plan is to let the fire burn itself out, which
Speaker 1: could take up to forty eight hours. Prime Minister Benjamin Natangne,
Speaker 1: who says Israel will continue hitting hes Fu law with
Speaker 1: full force, dimming hopes for a ceasefire. US and European
Speaker 1: leaders are all pushing for a twenty one day ceasefire
Speaker 1: to give the two time two sides time for diplomacy
Speaker 1: and to avert an all out war. We're going to
Speaker 1: get the latest from Israel with ABC's Jordana Miller.
Speaker 4: That's coming up at five twenty.
Speaker 1: At five point fifty, ABC's Jason Nathansen gets a little
Speaker 1: wild with the Wild Robot and Megalopolis also hits theaters today.
Speaker 1: Is it a Megaflopolis. Jason's going to tell us, and
Speaker 1: we have tickets to the Disneyland resort to give away.
Speaker 1: I told you it was going to be a busy day.
Speaker 1: We want you to go experience Halloween time. We'll be
Speaker 1: talking with Disney Ambassador Jada about what you can expect
Speaker 1: when you head to the park for the Halloween holiday season,
Speaker 1: and again tickets to give away sometime this hour during
Speaker 1: wake up call. Let's get started with some of the
Speaker 1: stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: Hurricane Helene has weakened to a tropical storm hours after
Speaker 1: making landfall in Florida. It came ashore last night as
Speaker 1: a Category four hurricane, knocked out power to about two
Speaker 1: million people. Florida Governor Ron Desanti says the storm has
Speaker 1: done forecasters or has done what forecasters expected it would
Speaker 1: do with a storm surge.
Speaker 3: So you look at southwest Florida, you look at the
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay area, You're seeing really significant amounts of surge.
Speaker 3: There's going to be streets that are flooded and will
Speaker 3: continue to flood.
Speaker 1: Desanta says, the storm will head out of Florida and
Speaker 1: we'll leave it water logged for quite some time. A
Speaker 1: big rig hauling large lithium ion batteries is crashed and
Speaker 1: overturned in San Pedro. The crash yesterday on Seaside Way
Speaker 1: caused a fire that led to at least one battery exploding.
Speaker 1: The Seaside Freeway. That's the forty seven and the Vincent
Speaker 1: Thomas Bridge are closed. Firefighters are letting the battery burn
Speaker 1: itself out for safety reasons. The hpieces the Vincent Thomas
Speaker 1: Bridge could potentially be closed for up to forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: California has seen a rise in violent crime.
Speaker 5: California State Senate Republicans say their analysis of recently released
Speaker 5: FBI crime data for last year found violent crime in
Speaker 5: the state was up more than three and a half percent.
Speaker 5: Republican State Senator Brian Jones says voters can help turn
Speaker 5: things around with Prop thirty six. If the Legislature's not
Speaker 5: going to do their job, then I trust the voters
Speaker 5: to do their job on this issue. Prop thirty six
Speaker 5: with Levy harsher punishments for some theft and drug crimes.
Speaker 5: A recent poll by the Public Policy Institute of California
Speaker 5: found seventy one percent of likely voters support Prop thirty six.
Speaker 5: Blake Trolly k if I News.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers have won their third straight National League West
Speaker 1: Division title and their eleventh in the past twelve seasons.
Speaker 1: They beat the Padres seven to two last night at
Speaker 1: Dodgers Stadium in their final home game of the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four regular season, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and the
Speaker 1: team pop champagne in the locker room after the big win.
Speaker 6: No one said this is going to be easy. We've
Speaker 6: been through hell and back and I want to thank
Speaker 6: you guys for all sticking together believing in one another.
Speaker 4: Show. Hey, Otani, this is amazing.
Speaker 1: It's headed to the postseason for the first time in
Speaker 1: his career. He wasn't wearing goggles when the champagne was
Speaker 1: opened and says it stung a little.
Speaker 4: He'll learn right now, though. Let's go to ABC's Jim Ryan.
Speaker 1: So, Jim, we had one hundred and forty mile per
Speaker 1: hour winds, flooding rain, a twenty foot storm surge.
Speaker 4: Hurricane Helene arrived late last night.
Speaker 7: Yes, and I think it did the kind of damage
Speaker 7: that people were anticipating, a lot of storm surge damage
Speaker 7: as storm surge ten to twelve feet in some places.
Speaker 4: Amy, which isn't nearly as bad as we were expecting.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's awful, it really is. And those low
Speaker 7: lying places are just hearing from the mayor of Gulfport, Florida,
Speaker 7: which is on it has Tampa Bay on one side,
Speaker 7: the Gulf of Mexico on the other, and he says
Speaker 7: that downtown area is just underwater right now. But not
Speaker 7: only do the storm surge cause flooding issues, You've also
Speaker 7: just got twelve to fifteen inches of rainfalling that's creating
Speaker 7: flooding in other parts of the area. Parts of the
Speaker 7: southeast now dealing with this. We know six fatalities, including
Speaker 7: one in Florida, for in Georgia, one in North Carolina.
Speaker 7: So it's kind of spread out across the entire region.
Speaker 1: Do we know what it was? Were people being not
Speaker 1: smart about it? Because man, they had those warnings out
Speaker 1: and they told people this is going to kill you.
Speaker 4: You need to get out of the area.
Speaker 7: Well yeah, and I think by and large people did
Speaker 7: he those warnings. They once bit twice shy. Just thirteen
Speaker 7: months ago, Hurricane Idalia struck the very same area that
Speaker 7: the landfall for Adallia. It's about ten miles from the
Speaker 7: landfall point of last night's Hurricane Helene. Then people saw
Speaker 7: the extreme damage that was done last year by Adallia,
Speaker 7: and I think this year they decided to buy and
Speaker 7: large it. They were just going to pack up and
Speaker 7: get out of there, so so, and as is the
Speaker 7: case with every hurricane, it's not necessarily the storm surge.
Speaker 7: It's not drowning here, it's not being hit by debris
Speaker 7: flying debris during the wind. It's the events afterward to
Speaker 7: take the lives. And that's what we've seen here. One person,
Speaker 7: one person who died in Florida. A sign fell onto
Speaker 7: a car and crushed that person. Two people in Georgia
Speaker 7: were killed in a tornado that was spout off by Helene.
Speaker 1: And they're expecting a lot. They're expecting tornadoes in Georgia,
Speaker 1: the Carolina's, southern Virginia.
Speaker 7: The tornado watches are still in place out there. A
Speaker 7: little by little the hurricane watches and warnings are dropping off,
Speaker 7: but we're still looking at the possibility of tornadoes being
Speaker 7: spun off by this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now it's downgraded, it's now tropical Storm Helene.
Speaker 4: It is, but still packing like eighty or ninety mile
Speaker 4: an hour winds, Well.
Speaker 7: It is, I mean, there's still pretty powerful winds. But
Speaker 7: it's really the rainfall now that's going to be the
Speaker 7: major problem associated with it. If I look right now
Speaker 7: what we're seeing tropical Storm Helene, that maximum sustained winds
Speaker 7: are about sixty miles per hour. The barometric pressure, the
Speaker 7: central pressure is rising and that's a good thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And how long do they know how long it's going
Speaker 1: to be before it completely just dissipates.
Speaker 7: Well, it'll be this weekend sometime probably sometime tomorrow afternoon
Speaker 7: or early Sunday. And it's moving very fast, and when
Speaker 7: we're talking about it, dom Yeah, it is good. The
Speaker 7: cruising along at thirty miles per hour right now, that's
Speaker 7: pretty fast. And so yeah, once it gets up into
Speaker 7: the Carolinas, it's going to sort of take a job
Speaker 7: to the left a little bit toward the west. Kentucky
Speaker 7: is going to see some effect from this. Ohio as well.
Speaker 4: It's amazing. And how big this storm is.
Speaker 1: I mean, like it's they were saying it's like five
Speaker 1: hundred miles across or something crazy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it blought it out a big part of the
Speaker 7: eastern golf of Mexico as it was coming up alongside Florida.
Speaker 7: So yeah, big storm, Harry storm and very very powerful.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing that I think is really
Speaker 1: going to be eye opening is that it made landfall
Speaker 1: late last night. So all of this damage happened in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, and I think they're going
Speaker 1: to get a first look at it as it turns
Speaker 1: to daylight. I'm seeing pictures on TV and it's just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I've just and cars underwater and neighborhoods underwater.
Speaker 4: It's just crazy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's going to be a weekend of doing an assessment,
Speaker 7: first of all, trying to find everybody who might be missing,
Speaker 7: then beginning the cleanup process. And boats have been in
Speaker 7: the water today, all up and down there, first responders
Speaker 7: and National Guard and everyone else trying to make sure
Speaker 7: that everyone who was trended did get rescued. Something like
Speaker 7: two hundred water rescues in Tampa alone.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 1: But the good news is we will clean up, they
Speaker 1: will rebuild. Thanks to first responders for helping out. I'm
Speaker 1: sure they have saved a ton of lives, so we'll
Speaker 1: be watching.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Jim Ryan. All Right, have a
Speaker 4: good weekend.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Two people have
Speaker 1: been arrested after a plane filled with drugs made an
Speaker 1: emergency landing on a highway and ocean side authority say
Speaker 1: the pilot told air traffic controllers that the plane's engine
Speaker 1: was failing. Early yesterday morning. The plane, which had departed
Speaker 1: from Mesa, Arizona, was searched after it landed on the
Speaker 1: roadway and the large quantity of narcotics was found inside.
Speaker 1: Two people on board were arrested. News brought to you
Speaker 1: by American Vision Windows. The La Metro board has called
Speaker 1: for more safety measures after a fatal shooting on a
Speaker 1: bus this week. Board members expressed their sorrow yesterday for
Speaker 1: the death of the passenger on board the hijacked bus.
Speaker 1: La City councilwoman and Metro board member Katie Yaroslovsky says
Speaker 1: more needs to be done to improve people's safety.
Speaker 9: We make our system safe through station activation, among other ways.
Speaker 8: We harden the system, but we also get people down
Speaker 8: in it up on top in the plazas.
Speaker 1: Metro expects to install barriers in all of its buses
Speaker 1: to protect the drivers by the end of the year,
Speaker 1: and is exploring weapons detection technology. Former President Trump set
Speaker 1: to meet with Ukrainian President Zelenski today in New York.
Speaker 1: Trump posted a letter on his social media platform saying
Speaker 1: Zelenski asked for the meeting this Morning. Vice President Harris
Speaker 1: met with Zelensky this week. She says Trump is advocating
Speaker 1: for surrender in Ukraine. New York Mayor Eric Adams could
Speaker 1: appear in court on charges that he accepted illegal campaign
Speaker 1: contributions and free overseas trips from people looking to buy
Speaker 1: his influence. Adams is scheduled to appear before magistrate judge today,
Speaker 1: but his lawyer has asked for a delay. Aaron Katurski
Speaker 1: says the indictment charging Adams was unsealed yesterday.
Speaker 6: Fivecount indictment tells a fulsome story of alleged bribery, fraud,
Speaker 6: and cover ups. The mayor is accused of taking more
Speaker 6: than one hundred thousand dollars in graft, including stays in
Speaker 6: high end hotel suites and business class travel, in exchange
Speaker 6: for using his influence to help Turkey.
Speaker 1: Adams says he is innocent and claims he's being targeted
Speaker 1: for complaining about the surge of illegal immigrants in his city.
Speaker 1: The first trailer for the second season of the hit
Speaker 1: series The Last of Us on HBO has dropped. Oh yay,
Speaker 1: but you're still gonna have to wait a while. It's
Speaker 1: not gonna be released until early next year. The trailer
Speaker 1: is narrated by new guest star Catherine O'Hara and apparently
Speaker 1: gives spans their first look at the events set five
Speaker 1: years after the first season Can't Wait. About two million
Speaker 1: customers have lost power now as tropical Storm Halleene churns
Speaker 1: across the southeast US. The storm came ashore as a
Speaker 1: Category four hurricane with winds of one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: miles per hour in Florida last night. The storm is
Speaker 1: impacting Georgia, the Carolinas, and southern Virginia strong winds, heavy rain, flooding,
Speaker 1: and possibly tornadoes. Governor Newsom has vetoed a bill that
Speaker 1: would have increased accountability for state spending on the homeless crisis.
Speaker 1: He says the bill is unnecessary because there are already
Speaker 1: reporting laws in place. Newsom's administration has been criticized for
Speaker 1: being unable to show results from a billion dollars released
Speaker 1: to local governments to set up homeless shelters. Manager and
Speaker 1: former Oakland outfielder Mark Kotzei fought tiers back as the
Speaker 1: A's played their last game at the Oakland Coliseum. The
Speaker 1: team has called the Colisseum home since nineteen sixty eight,
Speaker 1: complete with its plumbing problems. Apparently there are possums and
Speaker 1: even stray cats at the stadium. God Say says he'll
Speaker 1: treasure that game for the rest of his life. Let's
Speaker 1: say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller. Jordana as
Speaker 1: if Israel wasn't already dealing with the war in Gaza
Speaker 1: and cross border attacks that have been going on for
Speaker 1: ten months between Israel and has Belah. A missile was
Speaker 1: fired from him and yesterday.
Speaker 9: That's right. It's not the first time that the Iranian
Speaker 9: BAC twuties have fired on Israel. They've actually been doing
Speaker 9: it for most of the war. The difference is that
Speaker 9: usually the Americans or the Israelis intercept those missiles or
Speaker 9: rockets or drones heading towards Israel.
Speaker 1: The drones heading toward Israel. Wait is Jordanna, Oh we
Speaker 1: lost her?
Speaker 4: Shoot?
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we'll see if we can get her back,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot going on. We know that Natan
Speaker 1: Yaho is speaking to the United Nations today and I
Speaker 1: think we're just getting her back.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: See what happens when we're talking to people across the
Speaker 1: across the world, all right, we're back with with Jordana.
Speaker 1: So Jordana, go ahead and tell us again we're talking
Speaker 1: about the missile strike from Yemen.
Speaker 4: But that wasn't the first one.
Speaker 9: But I said it wasn't the first time that the
Speaker 9: running back Tookies have tried to fire on Israel. They've
Speaker 9: been doing it pretty much since October. But usually the
Speaker 9: Americans of the Israelis are able to shoot down or
Speaker 9: intercept those missiles. This one appears to have penetrated and
Speaker 9: gone undetected for some time until it came close to
Speaker 9: Tel Aviv, where it's set off sirens and the Israeli's
Speaker 9: intercepted it. Nobody was hurt. And it follows a missile
Speaker 9: that the Hooties fired a couple of weeks ago that
Speaker 9: fell in a forest between Dreuce Woman and Tel Aviv,
Speaker 9: and then a couple months ago they actually managed to
Speaker 9: a drone actually crashed into a building in Tel Aviv's
Speaker 9: killing one. So the Hooties have had a quote unquote
Speaker 9: more success than I think many people realize that the
Speaker 9: outset of this war, given remember it's a long flight
Speaker 9: path for those drones and missiles. It's they're in the
Speaker 9: air for ten eleven twelve minutes. The drones were in
Speaker 9: for a lot longer, but the missiles and that's so,
Speaker 9: you know, Ajel says, it's investigating why it wasn't picked
Speaker 9: up and shut down earlier. Again, thankfully nobody was hurt.
Speaker 9: But what a scare at twelve forty in the night.
Speaker 9: You know, people were jolted out of bed, about a
Speaker 9: million people across central Israel.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: And then yesterday Jordana, we were talking about the possibility
Speaker 1: of a twenty one day ceasepire that the US in
Speaker 1: European allies were pushing for.
Speaker 4: But Prime Minister Natanya, who's pushing.
Speaker 9: Back, Well, he's doing a big zigzag on this.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 9: He said that, you know, the reports of an imminent
Speaker 9: ceasefire were incorrect, and he tried to dismiss Israel's participation
Speaker 9: in these times, initially saying no, no, no, the Americans
Speaker 9: and the Europeans are putting it on the table, but
Speaker 9: Israel hasn't really responded. Well, turns out that's not exactly true,
Speaker 9: and it looks like N'ataiell was initially putting out those remarks.
Speaker 9: There was a huge backlash here in Israel, not only
Speaker 9: from the right, his own party Afar right, but even
Speaker 9: the left, who are saying, what, you know, we haven't
Speaker 9: heard a thing about this, and so he really tried
Speaker 9: to walk it back.
Speaker 6: But today his office put.
Speaker 9: Out a message saying what we knew, which is that
Speaker 9: Nataniel has he is taking part in talks for a
Speaker 9: ceasefire along the Lebanese border. We don't know the details
Speaker 9: or how quickly it will come together, but those talks
Speaker 9: are underway. It's a you know, I think for many
Speaker 9: it's a good sign. And even Israeli leaders, if we
Speaker 9: you know, follow what they've been saying for many months,
Speaker 9: they prefer a diplomatic solution to the problem with Hasbalah
Speaker 9: on their northern border than a full fledged war. Right
Speaker 9: they're preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best,
Speaker 9: and that best is a US broker deal. So you know,
Speaker 9: they are talking about this and we're obviously following it,
Speaker 9: and you know, it could prevent this from turning into
Speaker 9: a major, full scale war. Israel right now is carrying
Speaker 9: out an aerial bombardment of a well positions, but that's
Speaker 9: still you know, better quote unquote than a ground incursion
Speaker 9: into Lebanon. And you know, and and dozens of Mitchell
Speaker 9: being fired at Central Israel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well we will will hope that Cohler
Speaker 1: heads prevail and watch what happens.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Jordana, appreciate it, and we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 9: Yes, question, have a good weekend, all right you two.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the CAMFI twenty four hour newsroom. Firefighters in the
Speaker 1: San Bernardino Mountains have been dealing with flare ups and
Speaker 1: hotspots within the fire that started in Highland. Officials pockets
Speaker 1: of unburned fuel have been burning mainly in the Bear
Speaker 1: Creek drainage area, and that the fire made significant runs
Speaker 1: uphill towards the Snow Valley Resort, which was expected. The
Speaker 1: fires burned nearly forty thousand acres. At September fifth, it's
Speaker 1: eighty three percent surrounded. The nearly fifty five thousand acre
Speaker 1: fire that started in the Angelus National Forest is ninety
Speaker 1: seven percent surrounded. Firefighters yesterday were mopping up, investigating smoke
Speaker 1: and putting out isolated heat sources, and the fire that
Speaker 1: started in Orange County and burned into Riverside Counties ninety
Speaker 1: five percent surrounded. That one has burned more than twenty
Speaker 1: three thousand acres and also dozens of homes since September ninth.
Speaker 1: Over the next several days, crews are going to be
Speaker 1: working in Tribuco Canyon cutting down trees that were heavily
Speaker 1: damaged by the fire by are still standing or that
Speaker 1: pose a serious threat of falling. A group of slammed
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom for vetoing a reparations bill that creates a
Speaker 1: process for black families to reclaim stolen land.
Speaker 10: I just feel horrible for so many of the people
Speaker 10: who have been harmed by imminent domain.
Speaker 11: Where's My Land founder Kavan Ward says it's deflating because
Speaker 11: Newsom signed a similar bill in twenty twenty one which
Speaker 11: allowed a black family to reclaim Bruce's Beach, which Manhattan
Speaker 11: Beach had stolen one hundred years ago for racist reasons.
Speaker 10: The governor's moves to kill this bill were heartless and
Speaker 10: it shows that he does not care about report of
Speaker 10: justice and black people in this state.
Speaker 11: Newsom says this veto Wednesday was because the bill required
Speaker 11: a state agency that does not exist to implement the legislation.
Speaker 11: Corbin Carson kaf I.
Speaker 1: News the person in the San Fernando Valley has died
Speaker 1: of West Nile virus, the first death reported in La
Speaker 1: County in twenty twenty four. The County Department of Public
Speaker 1: Health says the patient died from neurological illness caused by
Speaker 1: a severe case of the Mosquitos spread West Nile virus.
Speaker 4: Okay, so I.
Speaker 1: Mentioned that we're getting closer to going over the edge,
Speaker 1: and what we're doing is raising money for the Union
Speaker 1: Rescue Mission because did you know seventy five thousand people
Speaker 1: in the LA area are homeless and about fifty two
Speaker 1: thousand have nowhere to go at night. Well, the Union
Speaker 1: Rescue Mission helps, and the Union Rescue Mission goes beyond
Speaker 1: feeding people. It also works to get people off of
Speaker 1: the streets permanently. They have transitional housing. They've got some
Speaker 1: really amazing program and they do it privately funded. Because
Speaker 1: there's shelters are dry. That means you can't have drugs
Speaker 1: and you can't have booze in these shelters. There's families
Speaker 1: and there's children in these shelters, and because they won't
Speaker 1: allow drugs and alcohol into the shelters, they don't qualify
Speaker 1: for government funding. I know it sounds very counterintuitive, but anyway,
Speaker 1: it's privately find funded and we're raising money to actually
Speaker 1: help people. So if you can help, just one, just
Speaker 1: go to just help one dot org. That's just help
Speaker 1: the number one dot org. And I would love it
Speaker 1: if you would sponsor me. I'm repelling twenty five stories
Speaker 1: down a building this afternoon. It's the Universal Hilden, this big,
Speaker 1: beautiful black hotel. And yeah, and anyway, if you could donate,
Speaker 1: I would appreciate it so much. Again, the money is
Speaker 1: going to a good cause. We know it's your hard
Speaker 1: earned money, and we hope that you can, you know,
Speaker 1: give up a Starbucks or two, make a donation and
Speaker 1: help us raise money to fight homelessness and actually get
Speaker 1: people off the streets. Just help one dot org. There's
Speaker 1: a team iHeart button right on the homepage. And then
Speaker 1: you can donate to me, or you can donate to
Speaker 1: Neil Sevadra. He's also going over the edge. He's going
Speaker 1: at eleven. I'm going at three point thirty. Wish us luck.
Speaker 1: Helene has made landfall as a category for hurricane packing
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty mile per hour winds in a
Speaker 1: storm surge of more than ten feet. The storm changed directions,
Speaker 1: so the worst of it didn't hit Tallahassee as expected.
Speaker 1: The storm's been downgraded. It's now moving inland into Georgia,
Speaker 1: the Carolinas, and southern Virginia, but still expecting heavy rains,
Speaker 1: high winds, possibly tornadoes. Several lawmakers in New York, including
Speaker 1: Representatives Alexandria Occasio Cortes and Nicole Malatochus, three Democratic candidates
Speaker 1: for mayor, and several state senators and city council members,
Speaker 1: are all calling for New York City Mayor Eric Adams
Speaker 1: to resign. He's been indicted on bribery and fundraising violation charges.
Speaker 1: Governor Kathy Hokel, who does have the power to remove
Speaker 1: Adams from offices, she is assessing the situation. The demolition
Speaker 1: of one of the longest wooden piers on the West
Speaker 1: Coast has been approved by the San Diego City Council.
Speaker 1: The ocean side pier was destroyed by fire five months ago.
Speaker 1: The plan is to take down and then rebuild a
Speaker 1: new pier at a cost of about seventeen million dollars.
Speaker 1: The project's going to take about three years. Engineers say
Speaker 1: extra protocols will be in place to protect marine wildlife
Speaker 1: during the demolition at five point fifty. ABC's Jason Nathanson
Speaker 1: gets a little wild with the Wild Robot and Megalopolis
Speaker 1: hits theaters today. Jason's going to tell us if it's
Speaker 1: a Megaflopolis, get it. So much to see and so
Speaker 1: much to do this Halloween season. So we're going to
Speaker 1: be sharing some of our favorite Halloween haunts with you
Speaker 1: between now and Halloween. And how could we do Halloween
Speaker 1: without doing Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort. So let's
Speaker 1: say good morning now to Ambassador Jada. Jada, what can
Speaker 1: we expect when we visit the spookiest place on Earth?
Speaker 8: Well, Amy, good morning. There is so much to see.
Speaker 8: Like you said, Halloween Time is here at Disign Resort
Speaker 8: now through October thirty first, and we have Jack the
Speaker 8: Halls with everything, we have Halloween Core, we have Halloween
Speaker 8: Time overlay and different attractions. There's so much food, there's merchandise.
Speaker 8: There's quite a lot to see.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're going to break that down a little bit.
Speaker 1: You said there's so much food, and I went and
Speaker 1: looked through. There's like a foody guide that you can
Speaker 1: go on the Disneyland app and you can see all
Speaker 1: the specialty foods that they have that are specifically for
Speaker 1: Halloween time, And do you have an like, just off
Speaker 1: the top of your head, how many specialty dishes you
Speaker 1: have just for Halloween time?
Speaker 8: Yeah, so this year there's a lot. I want to say,
Speaker 8: there's about like two hundred and over one hundred of
Speaker 8: those are brand new this year, so there is quite
Speaker 8: a lot to see. You can go on a whole
Speaker 8: food tour just to experience Halloween times.
Speaker 1: It's a frustrating time for me because I know that
Speaker 1: I can't get through all of the offerings that you have.
Speaker 1: Do you have any favorite shada that you want people
Speaker 1: to know about?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 8: Man, where to begin? I the other day I had
Speaker 8: the TV brought what was it, the phantas and garlic
Speaker 8: cheesey brought over at Idolized Snacks.
Speaker 4: I've seen the pictures of that. It looks so good.
Speaker 8: It's so good to brought worse and like a cheesy
Speaker 8: garlic pretzel bread it's, oh my gosh, checks kiss. And
Speaker 8: then if you're looking for something sweet over in Disney
Speaker 8: California Venture Park, there's also the Mater's Halloween Cone, which
Speaker 8: is it's like an ube soft serve and they have
Speaker 8: black sprinkles on top you can get in a cup
Speaker 8: or cone. I grew up eating ube, so it's really
Speaker 8: it's a classic. It's very nostalgic.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: And there's like you said, there's specialty food almost at
Speaker 1: all of the restaurants and all of the carts. I
Speaker 1: mean there's you just look around and you'll see it
Speaker 1: because it's it's literally everywhere.
Speaker 8: Exactly everywhere.
Speaker 4: Two hundreds okay.
Speaker 1: And then you you talked about the decorations, which I
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody loves Halloween decorations, but Disney does it
Speaker 1: up in style like talk about cars Land.
Speaker 8: That's right. I'm glad you mentioned Carsland because that's probably
Speaker 8: my favorite picture spot all year round, but especially right now.
Speaker 8: So Reguator Springs becomes Radiator Streams. If there's one thing
Speaker 8: that Carsland loves, it's a pun. So there is Halloween
Speaker 8: decor all over the place. So you can see the
Speaker 8: decor all across through at sixty six. And then two
Speaker 8: of the really beloved attractions in cars Lands. You have
Speaker 8: Mad's Junk Yard Jamboree is now Mader's Junk Yard Jambouree
Speaker 8: again with the puns, and then down the Road over
Speaker 8: at Luigi's walkin Ropesters it's right now, it's Luigi's Honkin Halloween.
Speaker 8: I love it.
Speaker 1: And also in California Adventure Park if you really want
Speaker 1: to get scared, Guardians of the Galaxy has a special
Speaker 1: Halloween time overlay.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, so over in the evening time, Guardings of
Speaker 8: the Galaxy transitions over and it is Monsters after Dark.
Speaker 8: So if you stick around, you know, of course the
Speaker 8: mission breakout. You've broken out the monsters that now you
Speaker 8: kind of have to go on that mission because the
Speaker 8: monsters are on about. So it's a really fun one.
Speaker 8: It's an exciting way to experience the attraction with some
Speaker 8: different theming. I love that one. It's probably one of
Speaker 8: my favorites. Sturt Halloween Time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then when you come back over to the
Speaker 1: Disneyland Park, you're greeted with a giant pumpkin and there's
Speaker 1: just decorations all up and down Main Street and all
Speaker 1: over the park. And of course the Haunted Mansion has reopened.
Speaker 1: It was it was closed down for refurbishment and they
Speaker 1: were doing some changes to the queue and stuff. But
Speaker 1: it's open and it's Halloween and Christmas themed.
Speaker 8: It is have you had a chance to go over
Speaker 8: there and experience it yet.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, just win a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's so awesome. Yeah. So, like you said, you
Speaker 8: can join the virtual que if you want to experience
Speaker 8: the Haunted Mansion Holiday. So of course it's huguely Haunted Mansion,
Speaker 8: but during this time of year transitions over because Santa
Speaker 8: Jack comes into town and Jack Skellington his friends, they
Speaker 8: you know, they take over Haunted Mansion. It becomes the
Speaker 8: Haunted Mansion Holiday, which is inspired by Tim Burton's at
Speaker 8: Nightmare before Christmas. And every year they have the gingerbread
Speaker 8: that changes each year and it smells so good when
Speaker 8: you pass by during that time. I don't know if
Speaker 8: you got a whiff of that when you experience the attraction,
Speaker 8: but it's definitely a fan favorite.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: And the other thing is cool is I love that
Speaker 1: the characters who are out and about in the park
Speaker 1: and in both parks, they have special Halloween time costumes.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Have you seen Pluto? I think Puto's my f He's
Speaker 8: a little pumpkin. Yeah, I love it. So they're all
Speaker 8: over the park, or you can, like you said, if
Speaker 8: this is a just an app you can actually see
Speaker 8: where you can meet our fun characters, but it doesn't
Speaker 8: just send there, so they're all over the park. But
Speaker 8: I don't know if you know this. In Disney California
Speaker 8: Adventure Park, they actually have Mickey's Trick and Treat well,
Speaker 8: so you can see some of making his friends. And
Speaker 8: this is an offering that's usually exclusive to the Ogi
Speaker 8: Bogie Bash, but this year we've brought it to all
Speaker 8: of our day guests. So that's definitely a messy if
Speaker 8: you want to see some characters and also some fun entertainment.
Speaker 1: I love that that you're expanding that and offering it
Speaker 1: to people during the day too. And then let's move
Speaker 1: to nighttime because there is fireworks and they're Halloween theme too.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 8: So Halloween Screams. We talked about the iconic pumpkins, So
Speaker 8: if you're right in front of the Pumpkin on Main Street, USA,
Speaker 8: you can see Halloween Screams. And it's not just on
Speaker 8: the castle, but they have projections all over Main Street, USA.
Speaker 8: And actually, just a little insider tip, I actually love
Speaker 8: watching Halloween Screams or any of the nighttime spectaculars. We're
Speaker 8: at the rivers of America because we also have some
Speaker 8: projections over there, there's a little more space and over
Speaker 8: on the other side of the parts, you can also
Speaker 8: see it. It's a small world, so there's a lot
Speaker 8: of space to see Halloween Screams and catch that that
Speaker 8: night time show where you get to see all of
Speaker 8: your favorite villains kind of taking over the land.
Speaker 1: It's really cool Halloween time at the Disneyland Resort, the
Speaker 1: scariest place on Earth.

Speaker 1: You can get more information about Halloween Time Disneyland dot com. Okay, now,
Speaker 1: let's say good morning too, Jason Nathanson with ABC. Jason,
Speaker 1: we have so much to get through and not a
Speaker 1: lot of time, so let's try to power through everything.
Speaker 4: First of all, we got.
Speaker 1: Francis Ford Coppola's movie Megalopolis, hitting theaters. It's a passion
Speaker 1: project for Copola, and so the question is is it
Speaker 1: great or is it a mega flopolis.
Speaker 12: Yes, this is decades in the making for Francis Ford
Speaker 12: Coppola here for this film, which is something that he,
Speaker 12: you know, has earned the right to do. With this
Speaker 12: stage in his career, He's given us so much great
Speaker 12: stuff from The Godfather to Apocalypse Now and so so
Speaker 12: many more things that you know, it's.
Speaker 4: A sketchy lead in Jason.
Speaker 12: When he has stuff that he wants to do that
Speaker 12: he can, he's earned the right to do it. And
Speaker 12: this film, which is the basic premise here is you
Speaker 12: have Adam Driver who stars as a guy named Caesar Catalina.
Speaker 12: This whole thing is a Roman fable. It's set in
Speaker 12: the city of New Rome, which is basically New York
Speaker 12: but a little bit in the future. Caesar Catalina, Adam
Speaker 12: Drivers' character, is a genius artist who wants to kind
Speaker 12: of create a utopian city called Megalopolis. Frank Cicero is
Speaker 12: the mayor played by Giancarlo Esposito, who's kind of corrupt
Speaker 12: a little bit and against him. And then, of course
Speaker 12: Adam Drivers's character falls in love with the Mayor's daughter
Speaker 12: Julia Cicero played by Natalie Emmanuel and the two were
Speaker 12: kind of star cross lovers there. That kind of makes sense.
Speaker 12: The movie itself makes zero sense. Really, you have no
Speaker 12: idea what is going on in this film as you
Speaker 12: are watching it?
Speaker 4: It is I got that from the trailer.
Speaker 12: My notes if these are these are my actual real
Speaker 12: notes as I'm watching it? What the bleep is going on? Huh?
Speaker 12: This is bat bleep crazy? How dare you, Francis Ford Coppola?
Speaker 12: How am I bored and annoyed and sad and angry
Speaker 12: all at the same time. Wow. In the theater I
Speaker 12: was watching it in there were maybe six or seven
Speaker 12: people total. At least two of them walked out part
Speaker 12: way through, really, which is it's a huge percentage for
Speaker 12: a theater with six people.
Speaker 1: So the interesting thing is I saw I saw a
Speaker 1: trailer for it. I don't even remember where because I
Speaker 1: haven't been to a theater in a little bit. I
Speaker 1: just saw it not too long ago, and I went, oh,
Speaker 1: this is coming out Like I hadn't heard anything about
Speaker 1: it either.
Speaker 12: Oh okay, I mean there have been a bunch of
Speaker 12: you know, news stories and articles. There was a fake trailer,
Speaker 12: there's the Premier Cans. It's gotten a bunch of attention,
Speaker 12: but maybe if you're not only if you're you know,
Speaker 12: like really inside movie circles in paying attention, it's not
Speaker 12: gonna make a lot of money this weekend. France Ford
Speaker 12: Kopla spent one hundred and twenty million dollars of his
Speaker 12: own money on this. He leveraged his wine business in
Speaker 12: order to do it. It reminds me a little bit
Speaker 12: of Kevin Costner and Horizon, which came earlier this year,
Speaker 12: which he self financed. He had his vision. The thing
Speaker 12: is with these guys and again and the right to
Speaker 12: do that, they've had, they've had great careers, and they
Speaker 12: also get people like Adam Driver and gian Carlos Bosito
Speaker 12: and various other actors to go along with their vision
Speaker 12: because they've earned it. And the people say, Okay, this
Speaker 12: guy knows what he's doing. I'm gonna trust him and
Speaker 12: we'll see how it turns out. It doesn't always turn
Speaker 12: out well, and there's a reason why there are studios
Speaker 12: to say no to these guys in the process of
Speaker 12: a lot of this stuff, because you're trying to if
Speaker 12: you can have a vision but if you can't translate
Speaker 12: your vision to the audience, then something is going wrong.
Speaker 12: So it's okay to have this wild vision. And I
Speaker 12: know he's been talking about in videos how people aren't
Speaker 12: appreciating it. Years from now maybe they'll get it, and
Speaker 12: maybe they will, but I don't think that that's the
Speaker 12: case here. You know, I don't think the people who've
Speaker 12: seen it so far are stupid or dumb or you know,
Speaker 12: don't get art or anything like that. It just doesn't
Speaker 12: really work. It's it's just it's true over the top.
Speaker 12: My only the saddest thing about this for me is
Speaker 12: that not everybody is going to see it so we
Speaker 12: can all talk about it because you have to see
Speaker 12: this film. It is so crazy that it's like it's
Speaker 12: so bad it's good type thing.
Speaker 4: Okay, so when you go take notes, please do.
Speaker 12: And that that was the thing I was most sad
Speaker 12: about yesterday, is coming out of it. There were there
Speaker 12: was like two people that I could talk to about it.
Speaker 12: I want to talk to everybody about it. It is
Speaker 12: a out of ten. It is a the lowest score
Speaker 12: that I have ever given, I mean, maybe ever will give.
Speaker 12: It is a one point three out of ten.
Speaker 4: One point three on the jsonometer.
Speaker 1: Okay, hopefully you're going to have a little bit better
Speaker 1: one for this one. Wild Robot is in theaters. I
Speaker 1: cried when I saw the trailer, and.
Speaker 12: A lot of people are talking about how they've cried.
Speaker 12: This is an animated film. I didn't get a chance
Speaker 12: to see it, so I can't tell you if I
Speaker 12: cried or not. But it's getting great reviews. It's good
Speaker 12: Win the Weekend. It's about a robot who lands on
Speaker 12: an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the
Speaker 12: her surroundings. It gives you a little bit of a
Speaker 12: wally vibe, but from what I understand, you know, not
Speaker 12: derivative or it's its own thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it has interactions with a little baby duck
Speaker 1: and there you go. It looks really cute, I will say,
Speaker 1: just from the trailer. So I'm gonna throw my support
Speaker 1: about that behind that one. Okay, let's go over to
Speaker 1: the stream. Of course, we're almost out of time. Is
Speaker 1: everyone gonna want Nobody wants this?
Speaker 12: I don't think anybody's not. Everybody's going to want nobody
Speaker 12: wants this. This is a new rom com show on
Speaker 12: Netflix starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, who do their
Speaker 12: best to pull this off, and they are charming enough
Speaker 12: to be able to do it, but the script itself
Speaker 12: is kind of I found it kind of dumb. Their characters.
Speaker 12: I think she plays a podcast host, he's a rabbi.
Speaker 12: They're dating, it's all you know. Her podcast is all
Speaker 12: about her dating life. They feel a little old to
Speaker 12: be doing. The actors themselves are both forty four, and
Speaker 12: you know, he's getting harangued by his mom is very Jewish,
Speaker 12: very stereotypical mom who as a Jewish person, I thought
Speaker 12: the Jewish women in this thing were kind of offensive stereotypes.
Speaker 12: I did not. This is like Emily in Paris Territory
Speaker 12: for me, which you've if you've heard me on KFI,
Speaker 12: you know it is not my favorite type of thing.
Speaker 12: But I'm it, but it can't maybe again, Like I said,
Speaker 12: Kristen Bell and Addam Brody are charming enough to kind
Speaker 12: of pull this off, but almost two sick sickeningly charming.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then everybody wants this though. Brad Pitt and
Speaker 1: George Clooney.
Speaker 12: In a new movie called Wolf's which is kind of
Speaker 12: an action thriller comedy Reteeming. The Ocean's Eleven Stars didn't
Speaker 12: get a chance to see Wolf's but it's getting mixed reviews.
Speaker 4: But it's a movie. It's not a series.
Speaker 12: It's a movie on Apple TV Plus and you can
Speaker 12: watch it yourself.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll do it, all right. I think we've got
Speaker 1: our work cutout for us, don't we. Thank you so much, Jason,
Speaker 1: all right, I gotta go see Megalopolis now, just because
Speaker 1: it's so bad. Please do all right, thank you, Jason,
Speaker 1: all right, and with that we're done. This is KFI
