Speaker 1: hear from Leonard Nimoy's son about life Wispock. At six
Speaker 1: oh five, it's handle on the news. Kind of chaotic
Speaker 1: at Sea TAC A suspected cyber attack over the weekend
Speaker 1: has left thousands of travelers stuck on the ground. Let's
Speaker 1: get started with some of the stories coming out of
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A ceremony is being
Speaker 1: held in Norco to honor the thirteen service members killed
Speaker 1: in a suicide bombing at the airport in Kabble, Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: A candlelight remembrance is being held at seven thirty tonight
Speaker 1: at the city's Fallen thirteen Memorial Flower Garden. Twenty year
Speaker 1: old Kareem Nikoui from Norco was one of eleven Marines
Speaker 1: killed in the attack in twenty twenty one. Two other
Speaker 1: Marines were also from Southern California, Hunter Lopez from Indio
Speaker 1: and Dylan Morola from Rancho Cucamonga. A brushfire that's burned
Speaker 1: about one hundred acres near Lake Elsinore is about twenty
Speaker 1: five percent surrounded. The fire on Danaha tro truck Trail
Speaker 1: was reported yesterday afternoon. El Cisa Village was under an
Speaker 1: evacuation order and Ortega Highway was closed in both directions.
Speaker 1: It was later reopened and the evacuation orders were also lifted.
Speaker 1: Cleveland National Forest officials say Cruz stopped the fire from
Speaker 1: spreading by six thirty last night. Former President Trump and
Speaker 1: Vice President Harris have a heavy week of campaigning ahead.
Speaker 1: ABC's Allison Kosik says the VP candidates will also be
Speaker 1: making several stops.
Speaker 4: Parris and running mate Tim Walsh will take a bus
Speaker 4: tour across Georgia while former President Trump heads to Michigan, Wisconsin,
Speaker 4: and Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: She says Trump's running mate JD. Vance will be in
Speaker 1: Michigan to explain his support for Trump's proposed terrorists on
Speaker 1: some imported goods. A landslide along the southeastern coast of
Speaker 1: Alaska has killed one person and injured three others. The
Speaker 1: slide yesterday led to a mandatory evacuation order in the
Speaker 1: city of Ketchikan, almost three hundred miles south of Juneau.
Speaker 1: The city of Ketchikan and Alaska Governor Mike Dunlevy have
Speaker 1: issued emergency declarations.
Speaker 3: It's always scary.
Speaker 1: Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller
Speaker 1: in Jerusalem. So, Jordana, a couple of big developments over
Speaker 1: the weekend. Israel launched hundreds of rockets into Lebanon and
Speaker 1: the ceasefire talks ended with no progress.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 6: Well, in the early hours of Sunday, Israel carried out
Speaker 6: a massive preemptive strike against Husbala targets, taking out they
Speaker 6: say six thousand rockets, most of those aimed at Israel's north,
Speaker 6: though they said there were some aimed towards central Israel.
Speaker 6: And this was the Israeli Army said they saw indications
Speaker 6: that Hasbela was about to mount a major strike and
Speaker 6: that's why they hit first. Hasbaala still managed to fire
Speaker 6: about three hundred rockets and about two dozen drones towards Israel,
Speaker 6: and most of those were either shot down or hit
Speaker 6: open fields. Thankfully, no civilian casualties on the Israeli side.
Speaker 6: There was one soldier who died from a shrapnel from
Speaker 6: an interceptor one of the rockets that took down one
Speaker 6: of the Hsbala rockets. A shrapnel killed him on his
Speaker 6: naval boat off Israel's northern coast. And on the other side, really,
Speaker 6: army has Bollah fighters.
Speaker 1: You dropped out for a second, Jordana on the other side,
Speaker 1: what they a few.
Speaker 6: Of the other side, Yeah, yeah, six has Bolla fighters
Speaker 6: died on the other side that was on the in
Speaker 6: the early hours of Sunday. Miraculously, by the afternoon, both
Speaker 6: Israel and Juballa had kind of pulled back from the
Speaker 6: edge of a wider or larger full conflict war, and
Speaker 6: by the afternoon the Israeli delegation to the Gaza ceasefire
Speaker 6: talks had already landed in Cairo, but they came back
Speaker 6: late last night without being able to report much progress.
Speaker 6: Still gaps between the sides on the sticking issue of
Speaker 6: of the Israeli military presence in certain areas of the
Speaker 6: Gaza strip. Hamas wants the Israeli army to fully withdraw
Speaker 6: in Phase one by the end of six weeks, and
Speaker 6: the Israeli side wants to stay there for at least
Speaker 6: through Phase two, possibly to phase three, But we do
Speaker 6: understand that the negotiations are continuing and that the Israeli
Speaker 6: delegation will head back out this week for another round
Speaker 6: of talks.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's good because I had heard that they yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, over the weekend they go, oh, they didn't
Speaker 1: come in with an agreement and the talks are done.
Speaker 3: So I'm happy, no happy to hear that.
Speaker 1: And is it going to be like with high level
Speaker 1: people or is it going to be with lower level
Speaker 1: people and then the high level people get involved later
Speaker 1: or how does that work?
Speaker 3: Or do we know?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 6: So, the low level delegation is there now from the Americans,
Speaker 6: the Egyptians, and the Katari sides. But later in the
Speaker 6: week ahead of the massade, David Barneto has been leading
Speaker 6: the negotiations for Israel is expected to return. He was
Speaker 6: there on Sunday and came back late last night. So
Speaker 6: they're you know, Israel is investing considerable time and you know,
Speaker 6: considers these talks very serious. We know there's a lot
Speaker 6: of pressure from the United States to really push through
Speaker 6: and get a deal. But you know, I feel like
Speaker 6: a broken record. We say this, you know every week.
Speaker 6: It's really going to come down to the Israeli Prime
Speaker 6: Minister Benjamin Attaniel and the leader of come As jahasinoir
Speaker 6: those two men have to decide that they're ready to
Speaker 6: make some tough compromises and get a deal, you know,
Speaker 6: to get for Israelis, it'll be to get whoever's alive
Speaker 6: out of out of the guys strip. There's over a
Speaker 6: hundred hostages still there, you know, in the best case scenario,
Speaker 6: seventy or alive, but it's probably more. The estimate is
Speaker 6: really around fifty and Jordana.
Speaker 1: Iram's been pretty quiet. They vow that they are going
Speaker 1: to do some sort of retaliation in response to the
Speaker 1: killing of that was it. A helm Os leader in
Speaker 1: Tehran ares from them.
Speaker 6: Well, we heard from their foreign minister today say that
Speaker 6: Iran is still going to respond decisively, you know, in
Speaker 6: its you know, and that they don't care about, you know,
Speaker 6: an escalation. If that comes afterwards, it comes after. But
Speaker 6: I think this is a lot of bluster from the
Speaker 6: Iranian official. I think the United States has really been
Speaker 6: able to deter a direct strike on Iran for weeks,
Speaker 6: and that's because you know, there are airstrike carriers here.
Speaker 6: You know, there's the USS Georgia. That's an attack submarine
Speaker 6: that's here, and the Iranians are taking seriously the United
Speaker 6: States messages that they will not support, you know, that
Speaker 6: they will help defend Israel whatever that takes if Iran
Speaker 6: carries out an attack. Remember, the United States and much
Speaker 6: of the world does not believe that Iran has a
Speaker 6: any kind of real justification for a direct strike on Israel.
Speaker 6: The leader killed in Tehran was a Hamas official. He
Speaker 6: was killed with an explosion that was planted. There wasn't
Speaker 6: a missile strike, and so you know, the message to
Speaker 6: Iran has has been, you know, attack, but it doesn't
Speaker 6: warrant a major assault on Israel.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we will continue to watch on all fronts.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Jordan and Miller. I appreciate it
Speaker 1: as always.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
Speaker 1: LAPD is trying to find the person who shot and
Speaker 1: killed a doctor outside a clinic in Woodland Hills. The
Speaker 1: doctor worked at Warner Plaza Medical Center at Tapega Canyon
Speaker 1: Boulevard and Oxnard Street. Police say he was walking to
Speaker 1: his car on Friday night when someone walked up and
Speaker 1: shot him several times. Witnesses reported here in gunshots and
Speaker 1: saw a body on the ground in the parking lot.
Speaker 1: Hundreds of deputy das in Sacramento County are set to
Speaker 1: go on strike over pay. Homicide and cold case prosecutor
Speaker 1: Terry and Grimes says they want a five and a
Speaker 1: half percent raise. We are experiencing a lack of experienced
Speaker 1: attorneys for serious cases in our unit because everyone is
Speaker 1: leaving for better paying jobs. The county says salaries are
Speaker 1: well above market averages. The lawyers are going on strike today,
Speaker 1: but say they will show up for trials that are
Speaker 1: already in progress. Armed men have killed at least thirty
Speaker 1: one people in two separate attacks in southwestern Pakistan. Police
Speaker 1: say in one case, twenty three people were fatally shot
Speaker 1: after being identified and taken from buses, vehicles, and trucks.
Speaker 1: At least ten vehicles were set on fire. Officials say
Speaker 1: insurgents also blew up a railway track in another area,
Speaker 1: attacked a police station, and attacked and burned vehicles. Doctor
Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci, who became well known during the COVID nineteen pandemic,
Speaker 1: has spent some time in the hospital. He's being treated
Speaker 1: for West Nile virus. He was released over the weekend.
Speaker 1: A spokesperson says Fauci is expected to make a full recovery.
Speaker 1: Researchers that you see irvine have discovered an evergreen plant
Speaker 1: from the mint family that could cool cocaine cravings.
Speaker 7: You see I.
Speaker 8: Researchers found that a compound in rosemary extract can reduce
Speaker 8: cocaine sensitivity and the desire to take the powdery so
Speaker 8: called nose candy, and may provide a new avenue for
Speaker 8: treating addiction. Signists say that compound called carconic acid can
Speaker 8: affect a section of the brain called globis palladist externess,
Speaker 8: which controls how the brain responds to coca Researchers say
Speaker 8: that could provide an avenue to reduce the response to
Speaker 8: Bolivian marching powder, snowboarding, disco dust, or let's just call
Speaker 8: it cocaine. In Orange County, Corbin carcin kaf I News.
Speaker 1: I think Corbin gets kudos for being able to pronounce
Speaker 1: everything like that. Evacuation orders have been lifted in Lake Elsinore,
Speaker 1: where a brushfires burned about one hundred acres. The fire
Speaker 1: started just before noon yesterday, closing the Ortega Highway in
Speaker 1: both directions. The fire's forward progress has been stopped and
Speaker 1: it's a twenty five percent surrounded. Police are investigating to
Speaker 1: find out if a couple of shootings in Carson are connected.
Speaker 1: Lli Keunty Sheriff's deputies responded to the shootings late Saturday
Speaker 1: night and found two men shot blocks apart from each
Speaker 1: other on two hundred thirty fourth Street. The Sheriff's Homicide
Speaker 1: Bureau is asking anyone who knows anything about one or
Speaker 1: both shootings to give him a call. Free COVID tests
Speaker 1: are coming back, the Biden administration says at the end
Speaker 1: of September, people are going to be able to order
Speaker 1: up to four tests by mail. The tests detect newer
Speaker 1: COVID variants and will be effective through the end of
Speaker 1: the year. They're going to be available at COVID tests
Speaker 1: dot gov. At six oh five, it's handle on the news.
Speaker 1: Smash and grab robbers are saying, oh, thank Heaven for
Speaker 1: seven to eleven. Right now, let's say good morning to
Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim Sonny Williams, and Butch Wilmore
Speaker 1: are kind of like on an episode of Gilligan's Island. Yeah, come,
Speaker 1: supposed to be a three hour tour, actually a one
Speaker 1: week tour, right, and it's months later.
Speaker 5: The eight days. Now they've been up there for five
Speaker 5: almost five months, and they'll be there for at least
Speaker 5: three more months. The expectation is that they won't be
Speaker 5: coming home until February at the very earliest. The problem
Speaker 5: is that the space ship they went up there in,
Speaker 5: the Boeing star Liner, has some mechanical issues. It has
Speaker 5: some problems with its thrusters, those rockets. In fact, they
Speaker 5: realized those were going to be a problem even before
Speaker 5: they got to the ISS, butch Wilmore had to take
Speaker 5: over and pilot this thing to its rendezvous with the
Speaker 5: International Space Station. So the NASA has decided it's just
Speaker 5: too risky because coming back is more dangerous than actually
Speaker 5: getting there. You know, you've got to make it through
Speaker 5: the lays of space and try not to burn up
Speaker 5: as you're plummeting down towards the Earth. The concern is
Speaker 5: that the thruster issue might make that a greater possibility.
Speaker 5: So these two Bush Willmore Sonny Williams are going to
Speaker 5: stay up there on the iss, and they won't be
Speaker 5: a Boeing star Liner that comes back to get them.
Speaker 5: It will be a SpaceX crew Dragon. So the competition
Speaker 5: in the space industry heats up between Boeing and SpaceX.
Speaker 1: I would think that SpaceX is very happy and Boeing
Speaker 1: not so much.
Speaker 5: I think you're right. Boeing has all sorts of problems.
Speaker 5: They have for several years. The aerospace division falls under
Speaker 5: the defense division there at Boeing. The commercial airliners that
Speaker 5: you and I fly in a under the commercial division.
Speaker 5: But of course the commercial division has had problems with
Speaker 5: the door plug flying off that Alaska Airline's flight with
Speaker 5: the Max eight that had all sorts of problems, And
Speaker 5: so yeah, Boeing is having some real issues right now
Speaker 5: in the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: Okay, So now in determining that it's too dangerous to
Speaker 1: bring the star Liner back with the astronauts on board,
Speaker 1: have the astronauts been doing tests on the star Liner
Speaker 1: or are they just doing diagnostic tests from the ground
Speaker 1: on the Starliner or do we know?
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, the Starliner has been looking at it from
Speaker 5: the ground and NASA have both been jointly doing that.
Speaker 5: There's not much that the astronauts can do with this.
Speaker 5: At this point, they just turn it back over to NASA,
Speaker 5: and NASA will bring the thing back autonomously. It'll fly
Speaker 5: back on its own and presumably make a nice you know,
Speaker 5: splash down and be recovered and all the rest in
Speaker 5: In the meantime, will Moore and Sunny Williams are not stuck.
Speaker 5: NASA refuses to say that they're stranded or that they're stuck,
Speaker 5: because they're not. You know, they're they're up there working,
Speaker 5: They're doing their jobs as astronauts and doing experiments, are
Speaker 5: doing whatever else they need to do, along with seven
Speaker 5: other astronauts, well, one cosmonaut and several other astronauts mainly Americans,
Speaker 5: but run one Russian and some other folks. So it's
Speaker 5: like an office where you float around the room. But
Speaker 5: it is an office.
Speaker 1: Okay, So there's a there's nine of them total up there.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like a heck of a party.
Speaker 1: And then they're supposed to hitch a ride home on
Speaker 1: the SpaceX capsule.
Speaker 5: It's not though, right correct.
Speaker 1: Okay, So another mission's going up and then they'll.
Speaker 5: Bring which Wilmore and Sunny Williams.
Speaker 1: Sonny and Butch home along and I think two others
Speaker 1: are coming home with them.
Speaker 5: I think the two who are going up are going
Speaker 5: to come back with them.
Speaker 3: Oh, they're just doing a quick, quick little fly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, head up there, drive up and get them, pick
Speaker 5: them up, hop in, and then drive away.
Speaker 1: Okay, and before before they get there, does the Starliner
Speaker 1: have to come home or do they have multiple ports
Speaker 1: or docks?
Speaker 5: There are different docking ports on the thing, but on
Speaker 5: the space station, but the Starliner will be coming home
Speaker 5: before that, okay, So I guess it just clears away
Speaker 5: of space so that the you and these things are
Speaker 5: specially designed to link into a specific spot on the
Speaker 5: International Space Station. The sore Use has on one area,
Speaker 5: Europeans have another, US has one part of the space
Speaker 5: station to dock to. So whether it's technically possible in
Speaker 5: any of those others isn't clear, but certainly this one
Speaker 5: would fit. The Space Act will fit into that docking port.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Well, we have a space astronauts, Colonel Nick Kaig we've
Speaker 1: been talking to leading up to what was supposed to
Speaker 1: be his mission that was supposed to be taking off
Speaker 1: right about now, and of course that's been delayed, so
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to hear. We're trying to
Speaker 1: set up another interview with him to find out how
Speaker 1: he's going to be affected. Ull Is he going to
Speaker 1: be one of the guys who goes up and picks
Speaker 1: them up, because he was supposed to be up on
Speaker 1: the space station for six months, So we'll see how
Speaker 1: that all shakes out. Is there any concern for morale
Speaker 1: as they're staying in space for months rather than days?
Speaker 1: Or is it kind of like a kid in a
Speaker 1: candy store gets to stay in the candy store.
Speaker 5: That's what I was thinking, you know, and you get
Speaker 5: to stay up there longer, not you know, it's not
Speaker 5: that you have to stay up there longer. And then
Speaker 5: you know they're committed to this, and they've dedicated their
Speaker 5: lives to this. These aren't kids, butch wil Nore and
Speaker 5: Sonning Williams were both around sixty late fifties, you know,
Speaker 5: pushing sixty years old. They've been doing this forever. They're veterans,
Speaker 5: and they have been trained and tested and you know,
Speaker 5: analyzed for their ability to stay and do things in
Speaker 5: space as far as supplies. This was last week. I
Speaker 5: got to interview Matt Dominic, who is an astronaut right
Speaker 5: now aboard the ISS from space, which was a real
Speaker 5: cool experience. And I asked him about that, what about
Speaker 5: you know, you got two hangars on or two interlopers
Speaker 5: there on the International Space Station using up your food,
Speaker 5: eating your Pillsbury space food snacks and your you know,
Speaker 5: astronaut ice cream or whatever you guys eat, and breathing
Speaker 5: your air, drinking your water. Is there a chance that's
Speaker 5: going to run? And he's sort of paused, and he's like,
Speaker 5: that's the dumbest question I've ever heard. I've done. Okay,
Speaker 5: he said, you know, there are constant resupply shuttles that
Speaker 5: are going up to the International Space Station on staffed
Speaker 5: you know, no crew. They just send them up and
Speaker 5: they've got these big bags these what did he call them.
Speaker 5: There's a specific name for these bags of food, big
Speaker 5: big containers like a big you know, shopping and it's
Speaker 5: filled with the different supplies, including water and food and
Speaker 5: all the rest of it. And so there's no danger
Speaker 5: that they're going to run out of stuff because they'll
Speaker 5: just send up more.
Speaker 3: Good good to hear, good to Yeah. I just hope
Speaker 3: they packed some extra clothes.
Speaker 5: For sure, and that they I guess I don't know
Speaker 5: if they do launder. I guess they don't, but yeah,
Speaker 5: I could be cross.
Speaker 3: Does it smell in space?
Speaker 5: I wonder I've heard that it does, Okay, like almonds
Speaker 5: or something.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to have to ask Colonel Hag about that.
Speaker 1: Jim Ryan, thank you so much. Good to hear that
Speaker 1: they have a plan to bring those guys home. Sure,
Speaker 1: all right, touch to you soon.
Speaker 5: See.
Speaker 1: A multi agency task force put together by the Laguna
Speaker 1: Beach Police Department has led its third operation of the year.
Speaker 1: The task force has focused on speed violations, e bikes,
Speaker 1: loud exhaust and modified vehicle emissions systems. The operation this
Speaker 1: past weekend led to more than one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: vehicle citations. One person was taken into custody for unspecified
Speaker 1: demeanor violations. A man accused of going on a stabbing
Speaker 1: spree in Germany killing three people, has been ordered held
Speaker 1: on suspicion of murder and membership in a terrorist organization.
Speaker 1: The knife attack happened late Friday at a city festival.
Speaker 1: ABC's Ines de la Katerra says a Syrian man claiming
Speaker 1: to be the attacker turned himself in over the weekend.
Speaker 9: The attack is being investigated as terror related. Of course,
Speaker 9: after ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, they said on
Speaker 9: their news site that the goal here had been to
Speaker 9: avenge Muslims in Palestine and everywhere.
Speaker 1: Prosecutors say the Syrian man was motivated by ISIS ideology.
Speaker 1: A fifteen year old has also been arrested for allegedly
Speaker 1: knowing about the attack before it happened and not reporting it.
Speaker 1: This is my favorite news of the day. AFC Richmond
Speaker 1: may not have played its last match on Apple TV
Speaker 1: Plus after all. The Hollywood Reporter and others are saying
Speaker 1: that Warner Brothers has picked up options on the actors
Speaker 1: who play Rebecca Welton, Roy Kent I'm Roy Kent, and
Speaker 1: Leslie Higgins. Well, season four hasn't been announced. Reports are
Speaker 1: that Warner Brothers is reaching out to other stars of
Speaker 1: the show. Jason Sideikis aka Ted Lasso is apparently already
Speaker 1: on board as the executive producer. Production, if it happens,
Speaker 1: would start in early twenty twenty five. Okay, really important news. Now,
Speaker 1: Remember on Friday we were talking about the first pizza
Speaker 1: vending machine in Sacramento. You put a pizza, you know,
Speaker 1: put your money in and you order your pizza and
Speaker 1: then it goes through a conduction or something like that,
Speaker 1: cooks it really fast, spits it out. Is it a
Speaker 1: good idea or not? We left it up to you
Speaker 1: on Instagram. The results are in forty seven percent said absolutely,
Speaker 1: I would try that. Fifty three percent said mama MEA
Speaker 1: no way. So I think it's close enough that we
Speaker 1: got to find ourselves a pizza vending machine, and we
Speaker 1: actually may have located one. So Lynn is at Glendale
Speaker 1: Community College, she's a professor there, and she said they
Speaker 1: have a pizza ending machine. So I think we're going
Speaker 1: to head out and check it out and then we'll
Speaker 1: give you the results on whether whether.
Speaker 3: It's tasty or not. Ooh, Kono's ears perked up.
Speaker 1: My authorities are investigating a series of suspicious grass fires
Speaker 1: along the ten Freeway in the West Adams area. Fire
Speaker 1: crews quickly put them out before noon yesterday. Arson investigators
Speaker 1: were sent to the scene. Police in Redondo Beach are
Speaker 1: warning visitors to watch out for fake QR codes at
Speaker 1: parking meters. They're not used, but someone who has been
Speaker 1: putting stickers on city parking meters and directing people to
Speaker 1: pay that way. Pollye say the two companies used for
Speaker 1: parking payment in Redondo Beach use apps for payment, not
Speaker 1: QR codes.
Speaker 3: The jersey Babe Ruth.
Speaker 1: War when he called his shot during the nineteen thirty
Speaker 1: two World Series hitting a home run to centerfield has

Speaker 4: think it's a masterpiece. I love Rapaicans, It's one of
Speaker 4: my favorite the franchise, and it's just a it's an
Speaker 4: honor to be a part of the Star Trek legacy.
Speaker 10: Adam will also talk about his book The Most Human,
Speaker 10: which chronicles the tumultuous relationship with his father. I recently
Speaker 10: had a chance to catch up with Adam and ask
Speaker 10: him what it was like growing up the son of
Speaker 10: a science fiction icon.
Speaker 4: What's wyal Man. It's freaking incredible.
Speaker 3: It's incredible.
Speaker 4: Spock is amazing.
Speaker 3: I love Spot.
Speaker 4: Everyone loves Spock.
Speaker 3: It's easy to love Spot.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, used the quintessential outsider, you know, and a lot
Speaker 4: of us felt that way, just on the fringe, popular,
Speaker 4: not social shy.
Speaker 7: That was me all the way, you know.
Speaker 4: And that's and when I talked to fans, that is
Speaker 4: a big part of this several last thing of heel
Speaker 4: is that. And my dad reminded me he is the
Speaker 4: only alien on the bridge of the Enterprise. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's multi racial, multi ethnic, multinational, but but in terms
Speaker 4: of aliens, it's just stop. He is the ultimate outsideer.
Speaker 4: So this was always the weird part of being the
Speaker 4: son of Leonard moy is that I just idolized the
Speaker 4: character he had created well at the same time having
Speaker 4: to figure out a way to deal with this guy
Speaker 4: who I was living with.
Speaker 10: The book digs deep into Adam's personal struggles with his father,
Speaker 10: who he says was absent during the years the Star
Speaker 10: Trek series was in production, but Adam says it never
Speaker 10: got physical, but it did get loud.
Speaker 4: I do recount there's one moment in the eighties when
Speaker 4: when he was drunk and I was high, and we
Speaker 4: were in each other's faces in the living room and
Speaker 4: I had to ask him to step away. That's just
Speaker 4: you know, that's as bad as a god on a
Speaker 4: physical level.
Speaker 11: But it was just. Look, we had.
Speaker 4: A big blowout when I was seventeen, when I was
Speaker 4: starting to really push back on him, and he wrote
Speaker 4: me a letter and he said he admitted he felt
Speaker 4: bad about the fight we had. He said to me that,
Speaker 4: you know, arguing with him is going to be very
Speaker 4: difficult because he's very verbal aloud. He's basically just a
Speaker 4: tough kid from the tenement of Boston, the West End
Speaker 4: of Boston, and you don't spool around with him.
Speaker 5: And he's rich and famous.
Speaker 4: It's very difficult to deal with a guy who's becoming
Speaker 4: a pop culture icon, who's beloved by fans, millions of
Speaker 4: fans all over the world. It's just very difficult to
Speaker 4: stand to him and say you're wrong about something.
Speaker 10: Eventually, the two would reconcile, and the book goes into
Speaker 10: just how strong their relationship had become up to the
Speaker 10: moment his father died. Where were You when you.
Speaker 7: Found out your father passed away.
Speaker 5: Well, I was. I was inches away.
Speaker 3: I mean I was, I was coming to him.
Speaker 4: We've spent the day with him the day before he
Speaker 4: was in a coma, and then I was on my
Speaker 4: way to him when he passed away. I got there
Speaker 4: minutes after he passed. And that was the thing, you know,
Speaker 4: which I also talked about quite extensively in the book, because.
Speaker 5: It was a great It was a great moment where.
Speaker 4: Everybody left the room, the bedroom, and I just sat
Speaker 4: next to him alone, and.
Speaker 5: It was a great feeling.
Speaker 4: There were a lot of feelings that came up about
Speaker 4: just gratitude and love and unity with him, the closeness
Speaker 4: to him, a connection to him, and and being grateful
Speaker 4: for the fact that we figured it out, and I
Speaker 4: mean ends about the fact that he ever worked through
Speaker 4: our stuff, you know, I mean we were really close
Speaker 4: in those last seven years.
Speaker 10: Adam says he misses his father, but the world of
Speaker 10: Star Trek has embraced him and he feels like a
Speaker 10: part of that universe.
Speaker 4: And I'm so proud that's Star Trek's still residents for
Speaker 4: people because basically it's, you know, it's a message of hope,
Speaker 4: for the introverse that in the future, not only we're
Speaker 4: going to figure out our problems on planet, we're going
Speaker 4: to partner up with other planets. They had a federation
Speaker 4: of planets and go out bringing goodwill to the you know,
Speaker 4: the rest of the galaxy and universe. So, you know,
Speaker 4: to an honor to be a car that Pard.

Speaker 1: minutes away from handle on the news this morning. Next
Speaker 1: time you head to Redondo Beach, beware the QR code.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to State Senator Scott Wilk,
Speaker 1: representing the twenty first, twenty first Senate district, which includes Antelope,
Speaker 1: Santa Clarita, and Victor Valley's Good morning, Senator.
Speaker 7: Wilk, Good morning, Amy, Thanks.
Speaker 3: So much for getting up early.
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you about your new bill
Speaker 1: because it's an important ones. Animal shelters across California are
Speaker 1: absolutely packed to the rafters and we got to find
Speaker 1: a way to fix this.
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely. You know, shelters is supposed to be a
Speaker 7: place where dogs and cats can can be safe and
Speaker 7: find a new home, and because of over population, they've
Speaker 7: really turned into two kills centers, and you know, some
Speaker 7: of the figures are staggering. So, you know, what can
Speaker 7: we do, particularly in light of the fact that we're
Speaker 7: in a budget crisis, so capacity expanding capacities will be
Speaker 7: hard for these shelters. But there's actually has been for
Speaker 7: a while now, a new spay and neuter procedure, and
Speaker 7: so what this bill would do would establish the framework
Speaker 7: for we have two accredited vet schools, UC Davis and
Speaker 7: Western University of Health Science is down to Pomona to
Speaker 7: create a first in the nation, high quality, high volume
Speaker 7: spay neuter certificate program, so one to be touched students,
Speaker 7: but even more importantly, existing veninarians can come back and
Speaker 7: get that certification and then allow This technique is so
Speaker 7: quick that you could go in and spend a day somewhere
Speaker 7: and spay and renewter a lot of animals.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, Senator Wilke, aren't all animals that go into
Speaker 1: shelters already spade and neuters?
Speaker 7: No, no, no, they're not particularly in rural rural areas,
Speaker 7: because they can't they can't find somebody to come up
Speaker 7: in certain service the animals. So this first came to
Speaker 7: me because I constituents in Apple Valley complaining and I
Speaker 7: don't have jurisdiction, but I wanted to find out what's
Speaker 7: going on, and I called out there and it's like,
Speaker 7: we don't. We can't find anybody that you know, come
Speaker 7: up from the inland empire to do the services because
Speaker 7: it's not it's not profitable for them. And the kill rate,
Speaker 7: I'm sad to say, and the Apple Valley shelters the
Speaker 7: highest in the state. That's fifty five percent.
Speaker 3: Fifty five percent. Yeah, that just breaks back.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Allie County is almost thirty three.
Speaker 3: I hate this.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk a little bit more about the procedure.
Speaker 1: How much faster is it and how much less expensive
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 3: Or is it?
Speaker 7: It's severely less expensive and very very very quick. I'm
Speaker 7: not sure the ratios, but everybody I talked to said
Speaker 7: this is one of the best ways we're going to
Speaker 7: be able to get our populations under control. You know,
Speaker 7: a dog that is not newter has has puppies and
Speaker 7: none of those puppies are neutered either. Within four years,
Speaker 7: Animal Animal Services people told me they could have produced
Speaker 7: many as five hundred dogs, So you can see where
Speaker 7: having these procedures done early really makes makes a difference.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Senator will for the new program that
Speaker 1: you want to put in place, you have two accredited
Speaker 1: center centers, so students and UC Davis has a great
Speaker 1: veterinary center they would be going through that.
Speaker 3: And then you said that existing vets could go.
Speaker 7: And yeah, yeah, it calls for the framework for establishing
Speaker 7: a certificate program, so you know, kind of like continuing education,
Speaker 7: but they could go and learn the procedure.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then would shelters be required to use that
Speaker 1: or you're just hoping that no, because it's.
Speaker 7: So much more hopefully, Yeah, it makes it economically viable. Well, one,
Speaker 7: it produces more people who could do this new technique,
Speaker 7: and then two makes it economic economic viable, like for
Speaker 7: somebody from the Inland Empire to drive up and spend
Speaker 7: a day like in a facility in Apple Valley, which
Speaker 7: is not convenient to perform those procedures.
Speaker 1: So if they could do ten or twenty in a day,
Speaker 1: it would make it more feasible than if you could
Speaker 1: do a couple in a day.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, So what happens.
Speaker 1: Next because we know that the bill is making its
Speaker 1: way through the legislature, Well, it's.
Speaker 7: The last what's the last week of the legislature, so
Speaker 7: it will be coming up at some point earlier this week,
Speaker 7: I hope, on the Assembly floor, and then it will
Speaker 7: come back to the Senate for concurrence. And at that
Speaker 7: point it goes to the governor and he has thirty
Speaker 7: days in which to sign it or not sign it.
Speaker 3: So is there a pretty decent chance that'll get past
Speaker 3: this week?
Speaker 7: And about the governor, Yeah, yeah, I'm highly confident it
Speaker 7: clears the legislature. But you just never know what the
Speaker 7: what you know, any governor is going to do when
Speaker 7: it comes to bills, because there's always a lot of
Speaker 7: things that play. I had a great animals rights bill
Speaker 7: a few years ago, and he ended up betoing it,
Speaker 7: and I think it was for political reasons because when
Speaker 7: I was talking to the Legislative secretary, he didn't even
Speaker 7: know what the bill did, so I just I said, okay,
Speaker 7: I get it. So yeah, that's where it gets scary.
Speaker 7: And so if if you have people who want to
Speaker 7: weigh in. It's SB twelve thirty three, and then just
Speaker 7: google Governor Newsom and hop on his web his website
Speaker 7: and there's a way to put you know, put an
Speaker 7: input there. So I would really appreciate if people did that.
Speaker 1: Okay, great, And Senator Wilke, if people want to find
Speaker 1: out more about the bill or about the new procedures
Speaker 1: or a place they can go and look for it.
Speaker 7: Again, I mean, I've got an ex handle at Scott Wilke, CA.
Speaker 7: I do have a government page and there's stuff on
Speaker 7: that and it's the website addresses. So it's just way
Speaker 7: too long, of course, government, but they can just google
Speaker 7: me and then go to my website and we do
Speaker 7: have information on there as well.
Speaker 1: All Right, Senator Scott Wilke from Sat Clarita, thank you
Speaker 1: so much, appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Good luck with the bill this week.
Speaker 7: Thank you for highlighting and I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: You got it.
Speaker 1: Take care you want to find out more at Scott
Speaker 1: Wilkes CA. On X so important fifty five percent kill
Speaker 1: rate and it's National dog Day.

Speaker 1: Administrator Bill Nelson says they're going to try to undock
Speaker 1: the Starliner capsule from the space station and fly it
Speaker 1: uncrewed back to New Mexico.
Speaker 11: The decision to keep Butch and Sunny aboard the International
Speaker 11: Space Station and bring the Boeing Starliner home uncrewed is
Speaker 11: the result of a commitment to safety.
Speaker 1: The mission in June was supposed to last just eight days.
Speaker 1: It's been delayed by helium leaks and thruster issues with
Speaker 1: the Starliner capsule. Former President Trump is said to speak
