Speaker 1: Newsom's office says the state has spent twenty four billion
Speaker 1: dollars to clean up camps and move people off streets.
Speaker 1: The wildfire burning near Chico and northern California continues to
Speaker 1: challenge firefighters. The fast spreading fire started in late July.
Speaker 1: It's now thirty four percent surrounded. Calfire's Jim Evans says
Speaker 1: the hot, dry conditions are making it hard for crews
Speaker 1: to suppress the fire, which is now moving into the
Speaker 1: Lassen National Forest east of Reading.
Speaker 5: Thus, for most of the fire activities going on, we
Speaker 5: have a crews up there that are putting in some

Speaker 1: NBC said they would be thrilled to have him back
Speaker 1: in any capacity. The Milano Cortino Olympics are scheduled for
Speaker 1: February twenty twenty six. It's five oh seven on your
Speaker 1: Friday morning wake up college, say now good morning to
Speaker 1: ABC's Jordana Miller, who's in Jerusalem. Jordana, with the threat
Speaker 1: of retaliation from Iran or its proxies, the Israeli security
Speaker 1: Cabinet has met in Tel Aviv deep underground, tell us
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 6: That's right. Out of the abundance of caution, the head
Speaker 6: of Istral Security Agency recommended that all of the ministers
Speaker 6: meet and essentially the war bunker in Israel's equivalent of
Speaker 6: the Pentagon. After several hours of meetings of that meeting,
Speaker 6: we heard from the Prime Minister that he is going
Speaker 6: to send a delegation on August fifteenth to be part
Speaker 6: of another push to finalize a Gaza ceasefire. This really,
Speaker 6: you know, President Biden and Texture of State Anthony's Lincoln
Speaker 6: deserves a huge amount of credit for keeping their eye
Speaker 6: on the Gaza ceasefire and really using America's ironclad support
Speaker 6: for Israel, both in word diplomacy to get Ran to
Speaker 6: pull back from its massive attack which is not imminent
Speaker 6: any longer, and sending so many warships here in the
Speaker 6: United States asking Israel to in exchange in a sense,
Speaker 6: you know, to keep it, to go back to the
Speaker 6: gods of seasefire and try to cut a deal, saying
Speaker 6: this is the best way to diffuse tensions and you know,
Speaker 6: keep the Iranians from a major attack and likely get
Speaker 6: has Bolah to moderate what they're planning. You know, it
Speaker 6: is diplomacy at its finest, and you know, we're going
Speaker 6: to see, you know, how much flexibility Nataniell gives his team.
Speaker 6: But for those of us that have been you know,
Speaker 6: following the ins and outs of the ceasefire negotiations for
Speaker 6: months and months and months, it's now at a critical
Speaker 6: moment where everybody except Na'taielle, everybody in the defense establishment,
Speaker 6: everybody in the intelligence community believes this is the moment
Speaker 6: for Israel to get to finalize the seasefire, pull out
Speaker 6: of the Godden Strip entirely, and get all the hostages out,
Speaker 6: and really time to end the war. So we're going
Speaker 6: to have to see if that happens, If there's progress
Speaker 6: that leaves on that front, very good news. And in
Speaker 6: the meantime, Isel says it's still bracing for a possible
Speaker 6: strike from Husballah. So that strike is you know, going
Speaker 6: to be likely limited to the North of Israel and
Speaker 6: no longer deep into Israeli territory, not in Tel Aviv.
Speaker 6: The Israeli Dan the Americans have made enough messages to
Speaker 6: say that, you know, if they strike Tel Aviv, even
Speaker 6: if the targeted the military base, there's so many civilians
Speaker 6: around the bases that Israel will not tolerate, you know,
Speaker 6: death and civilians, so that that would cause a major reprisal.
Speaker 6: So I can say a little more than a week
Speaker 6: out of after the twin assassinations we saw last week
Speaker 6: in Tehran and n Beirut, weren't a much better place
Speaker 6: here where diplomacy seems to have worked. And you know,
Speaker 6: Israel's bracing for something, but not a massive, massive.
Speaker 1: Attack, and we will hope that diplomacy prevails. And we
Speaker 1: will check in with you again as willing next week
Speaker 1: and see if they've made any more progress. Jordana Miller,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your information. We'll talk to
Speaker 1: you soon.
Speaker 6: Thanks so much.
Speaker 1: Talk said, all right, let's get back to some of
Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

Speaker 1: kiddie pool out of his truck and mission via Ho
Speaker 1: could be facing animal cruelty charges.
Speaker 7: THEO shows him clearly taking the pool and tossing it

Speaker 2: a shelter dog pulled his volunteer walker over to where
Speaker 2: the three week old puppies had been dumped about two
Speaker 2: weeks ago, a good distance away from the Animal services center.
Speaker 7: We do have a relinquishment process, so if you would
Speaker 7: have just waited until we were open, we could have
Speaker 7: facilitated a owner relinquished man.
Speaker 2: He says, there are many options for taking in unwanted animals,
Speaker 2: but dumping them is illegal.
Speaker 8: In Orange County, Corbin Carson KFI.
Speaker 1: News, a man wanted in connection with the killings of

Speaker 8: This is an active investigation.
Speaker 9: We do, indeed believe there are additional victims, both locally
Speaker 9: and in other states.
Speaker 1: The women killed in seventy seven were sex workers found
Speaker 1: strangled in Portwainimi, Oxnard, and an unincorporate unincorporated area of
Speaker 1: Ventura County. Investigators say they were able to match Alexander's
Speaker 1: DNA to a nationwide DNA database, Amazing what DNA can do.

Speaker 9: hundred families have left the island because they have no
Speaker 9: place to live, with more expected to leave.

Speaker 10: what's at stake is the future of who what he
Speaker 10: is is, an identity as a people, as a place.
Speaker 9: Hawaii's governor said a four billion dollar settlement will be
Speaker 9: split among six hundred lawsuits. No official cause of the

Speaker 11: under a plea deal in twenty twenty in which an
Speaker 11: assault with a deadly weapon charge was dropped. Assemblyman Bill
Speaker 11: of Saley, who represents Lake Elsinor, says the case points
Speaker 11: to a need to reevaluate criminal justice policies.
Speaker 8: Not of all people.
Speaker 7: Some people have to stay confined in a prison cell
Speaker 7: for the benefit of the greater good.

Speaker 1: ABC's James Longman says it could be a preamble for
Speaker 1: peace talks.
Speaker 12: So this is them putting their flag in the ground,
Speaker 12: if you like to say. If there's going to be talks,
Speaker 12: they're going to be on our terms. We want to
Speaker 12: negotiate from a position of strength. You're dealing with a
Speaker 12: serious party here in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Longman says Ukraine could be targeting Russia's energy infrastructure, as
Speaker 1: one of the towns attacked is critical to Russia's gas supplies.
Speaker 1: Former President Trump says suggestions that crowds at his campaign
Speaker 1: events are diminishing are wrong. He says reports by Democrats,
Speaker 1: the Vice President Harris and running mate Tim Walls are
Speaker 1: getting bigger crowds than he is. Our fabrications they.
Speaker 13: Talk about, Oh the enthusiasm. Let me tell you, we
Speaker 13: have the enthusiasm the Republican Party and me as a candidate.
Speaker 1: Trump said during a press conference yesterday that he attracts
Speaker 1: crowds bigger than Martin Luther King Junior had for his
Speaker 1: I Have a Dream speech. A coalition of local lawmakers
Speaker 1: and leaders have gathered to get the message out Hate
Speaker 1: has no place in schools or anywhere else. The group
Speaker 1: held a news conference after a couple kids went onto
Speaker 1: the campus of El Marino Language School in Culver City
Speaker 1: and tagged it with racial and homophobic slurs. The kids,
Speaker 1: who do not have any ties to that school, were
Speaker 1: arrested and released to their parents. Two men have been
Speaker 1: arrested in Ventura County for two separate attempted kidnappings. A
Speaker 1: forty year old is accused of trying to grab a
Speaker 1: seventeen year old who was walking with her mom outside
Speaker 1: the Semi Valley Library yesterday afternoon. The day before, police

Speaker 1: Agoora Hills has struck gold at the Olympics. Tara Davis
Speaker 1: Woodhall won the gold medal in the women's long jump.
Speaker 1: The twenty five year old sword and I mean sword
Speaker 1: to her first Olympic gold yesterday, landing a more than
Speaker 1: twenty three foot three inch jump. That's impressive. Davis Woodhall
Speaker 1: is just the fourth American woman to win gold in
Speaker 1: the long jump at six oh five. It's handle on
Speaker 1: the news. It's mid August, but Halloween's already everywhere. How
Speaker 1: retailers are tricking customers into getting their Halloween treats earlier
Speaker 1: than ever. Now, lit's say good morning to our favorite
Speaker 1: ABC Olympics correspondent in this Dila Ca Terra in Paris.
Speaker 3: But your.
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 1: And as we only have like two days of competition left,
Speaker 1: are you a little sad or are you ready to
Speaker 1: be done?
Speaker 3: I am sad.
Speaker 14: The Olympics.
Speaker 15: The Olympics blues there called it's starting.
Speaker 4: It's a real thing. So let's look back a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yesterday the fastest man in the world came up a
Speaker 1: little short but has a good excuse.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 15: Yeah, so huge upset on the track. Noah Lyles, who
Speaker 15: was favored to win gold in the two hundred meter
Speaker 15: final on the men's side. He ended up having to
Speaker 15: stead for bronze after he was sunned by Botswana's Lidzilad Tobago.
Speaker 15: So he won the gold and then it was fellow
Speaker 15: American Kenny Badark who won the silver. Noah won the bronze.
Speaker 15: After the race, Noah Isles didn't look too well, so
Speaker 15: he was lying down on the track. He appeared to
Speaker 15: be having issue breathing. He was wheeled off the track
Speaker 15: in a wheelchair and we later found out he had
Speaker 15: been diagnosed with COVID two days ago, which is interesting
Speaker 15: considering we found out from the WHO a few days
Speaker 15: ago that at least forty athletes had been diagnosed to
Speaker 15: with COVID. I will say Paris organizers are they've taken
Speaker 15: a new approach here. They've said they want this to
Speaker 15: be a return to normalcy, and so they're letting athletes
Speaker 15: diagnosed to with COVID decide for themselves that they want
Speaker 15: to continue with the competitions or withdraw. In Noah's case,
Speaker 15: he did decide to compete, but it does explain, you know,
Speaker 15: why he was struggling on the track after the race,
Speaker 15: probably explains why he didn't get the gold because he
Speaker 15: was favored to win the gold medal.
Speaker 1: Well, and he still got the bronze running with COVID.
Speaker 1: So I think that's exactly that's gold medal worthy in
Speaker 1: my book.
Speaker 15: Totally totally amazing that he was able to do that
Speaker 15: with COVID. We've all, I mean, at this point, I
Speaker 15: think we've all had COVID and it's I couldn't do
Speaker 15: what they do normally, but to do it with COVID
Speaker 15: is all the more impressive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's something else that was pretty impressive. I was
Speaker 1: watching the women's four hundred meter hurdles. Did you catch
Speaker 1: that one?
Speaker 15: I did not, But we did very well in that
Speaker 15: did very well in that.
Speaker 4: Another stunning runner.
Speaker 1: I'm just I still am just amazed at how gorgeous
Speaker 1: the runners are, and you know, you'd think that they're
Speaker 1: out on the track and they're all sweaty and stuff,
Speaker 1: but they've got their makeup done, they've got their hair done,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, they just like look like a million bucks.
Speaker 1: Is they're running for gold. I think it's very impressive.
Speaker 1: But yeah, she gosh, I can't even think of her
Speaker 1: name right now.
Speaker 15: I should probably Yeah, Sidney MacLaughlin loves ron or Loro.
Speaker 15: I'm not sure how you pronounced it, but yeah, So
Speaker 15: she took the gold and she broke her own world record,
Speaker 15: which was a big deal. And you know about how
Speaker 15: good they looked. She was wearing a crown post race.
Speaker 4: I know that was funny. I think she was a
Speaker 4: little embarrassed.
Speaker 1: Her friends or her boyfriend or husband kept putting it
Speaker 1: on her and she'd take it off and then they'd
Speaker 1: put it on.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So it was very sweet though.
Speaker 1: And then Team USA basketball actually got a run for
Speaker 1: their money yesterday.
Speaker 15: Yes, that was an incredible one. I mean, yeah, it
Speaker 15: was just Appolis. So they were up against Serbia. We've
Speaker 15: talked a lot about how Team USA is amazing and
Speaker 15: they've got Lebron James and Stiff Curry and Kevin Durant
Speaker 15: and how they are basically unbeatable, but we got scared
Speaker 15: there for a second yesterday. So Serbia of course has
Speaker 15: Nikola Jokic three times MVP, so it was down to
Speaker 15: be an interesting game, but I don't think anyone expected
Speaker 15: it to be this close. We were actually down to
Speaker 15: Serbia by seventeen points in the first half of the game,
Speaker 15: and then Team USA staged an incredible comeback in the
Speaker 15: fourth quarter. We scored six points in two seconds and.
Speaker 4: Way we scored six twenty one. We've we scored six
Speaker 4: points in what you cut out for.
Speaker 15: A second in two seconds, in two seconds, and we
Speaker 15: did end up winning a lot of it thanks to
Speaker 15: Steph Curry. But yes, we beat Survey in ninety five
Speaker 15: ninety one. And I think what made it, you know,
Speaker 15: all the more fun was that for once you can
Speaker 15: kind of cheer on all these big names working together
Speaker 15: as opposed to you know, typically they're on different teams,
Speaker 15: they're opposite each other, and it was cool to have
Speaker 15: them all working together for once, and they're not going
Speaker 15: to be playing France in the final on Saturday.
Speaker 4: Fabulous.
Speaker 1: And you had an assignment yesterday were you were you
Speaker 1: able to check out break dancing or breaking.
Speaker 15: I know, I feel like I misled you because it's
Speaker 15: I am going. It's today, but it it is happening
Speaker 15: in the next few hours, so I can't report breaking
Speaker 15: just yet. It hasn't actually started. It starts this afternoon
Speaker 15: Paris time. But but yes, I'll be going. I did
Speaker 15: find out some more about judging, So judges are going
Speaker 15: to be using it's called the Trivium judging system, and
Speaker 15: they're going to it's gonna be nine judges and they're
Speaker 15: going to be looking at things like technique, execution, mutality, originality,
Speaker 15: range of moves, maintaining control, landing smoothly, and improvisation and
Speaker 15: creativity also encouraged.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it sounds like it's very, very, very subjective.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think it will be. Yeah, we'll see that. Yeah,
Speaker 15: women competing today, men tomorrow, and it is the first
Speaker 15: time we've ever had this at the Olympics.
Speaker 4: It'll be fun to watch.
Speaker 1: And then what other things do we have left because
Speaker 1: we only have two days left, but I'm imagining they're
Speaker 1: going to cram everything in.
Speaker 4: At the last minute too.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 15: So today, the big one is a sixteen year old
Speaker 15: Quincy Wilson, who will be competing in the four by
Speaker 15: four hundred meter relay. He is the youngest male US
Speaker 15: track Olympian ever. We've got Shikarrie Richardson also back on
Speaker 15: the track. She's going to be participating in the four
Speaker 15: by one hundred meter relay. We're hoping for a gold
Speaker 15: medal there. The US women's basketball team has been on
Speaker 15: a fifty nine Olympic game winning streak. They're going to
Speaker 15: be playing Australia today in the semifinal match. And and yeah,
Speaker 15: and then we had marathon swimming for on the men's side.
Speaker 15: I went to see that this morning medals, but they did.
Speaker 15: I mean, it is really beautiful to see. I was
Speaker 15: standing on one of the bridges and you could see
Speaker 15: them simming under the bridges over to the Eiffel Tower
Speaker 15: and then back. It's really beautiful. It's impressive. So I
Speaker 15: understand what Prairius organizing we were trying to do with that,
Speaker 15: but just a little worried for their well being, so
Speaker 15: we didn't meddle in that. T USA did not meddle
Speaker 15: in the in the marathon swimming. And then we've got
Speaker 15: things like table tennis, yeah, and more track and field. Basically,
Speaker 15: I think track and field continues to be the star
Speaker 15: of the show Today, Action.
Speaker 4: Packed and then closing ceremony on Sunday.
Speaker 14: That's right, just a few days away.
Speaker 15: A lot of questions as to what you know we're
Speaker 15: going to be looking at. They haven't released many details,
Speaker 15: but they've been very secretive about the actual lineup. We
Speaker 15: know there's going to be a big handover to LA
Speaker 15: twenty twenty eight the next Olympics. Tom Cruise might be involved,
Speaker 15: Rumors that he could be participating in some kind of
Speaker 15: stub there, but we don't know. None of that is confirmed,
Speaker 15: so we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 4: We'll be watching in es de la Katera. Thank you
Speaker 4: so much.
Speaker 15: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Okay, have a great weekend, closing weekend, and I hope
Speaker 1: you don't get too much of.
Speaker 4: The Olympics blues.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 4: All right, take care.

Speaker 1: there's something set up that's going to be a little sneaky.
Speaker 1: We think it's Tom Cruise, who was expected to assist
Speaker 1: the mayor by repelling into the stadium to take the
Speaker 1: flag and then skydiving out of a plane to the
Speaker 1: Hollywood Sign.
Speaker 4: We shall see at six oh five. It's handled. On
Speaker 4: the news.
Speaker 1: Former President Trump and Vice President Harris have agreed to
Speaker 1: debate at least once and on the subject of the
Speaker 1: presidential debates and the vice presidential running mates. We want
Speaker 1: to say good morning now to ABC's and Flaherty So
Speaker 1: and JD. Vance called out the presumptive Democratic vice presidential
Speaker 1: candidate Tim Walls for not being entirely truthful about his
Speaker 1: service and it seems to have gotten some legs. Is
Speaker 1: there anything to it or is this just a nothing burger?
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, it's interesting. Who is Probably the biggest
Speaker 14: allegation is that Tim Walls. He had said in this
Speaker 14: clip that was actually promoted by the Harris Walls campaign
Speaker 14: where he's talking about weapons of war. He says that
Speaker 14: he's arguing for gun safety legislation after the Parkland shooting,
Speaker 14: and he says, you know, weapons of war that I
Speaker 14: carried in war should not be allowed on the streets. Well,
Speaker 14: we all know that he never carried weapons in war.
Speaker 14: He was never in active combat. He did carry weapons
Speaker 14: in his twenty four years of Army National Guard service.
Speaker 14: He was deployed to Italy as part of Operation and
Speaker 14: During Freedom in the wake of the nine to eleven attacks,
Speaker 14: but he was never in active combat. And if you
Speaker 14: look at the broader portfolio of all of his interviews
Speaker 14: and when he's talked about his service, he has made
Speaker 14: clear that he never actually was in a firefight. That
Speaker 14: he says he's gotten way more out of the Guard
Speaker 14: than they ever gave. He gave them because you know,
Speaker 14: he was able to pay for his college with it,
Speaker 14: so you know, in totality has been honest about his
Speaker 14: record there. But it was that one clip that the
Speaker 14: campaign promoted that said he had carried weapons and war
Speaker 14: and there were obvious questions about that because combat veterans say,
Speaker 14: you know, listen, don't exaggerate here. That's not where you
Speaker 14: want to exaggerate.
Speaker 1: Well, and then there was also that he was saying
Speaker 1: that he was a Master chief surgeon. I can't remember
Speaker 1: what the exact rank was, but that he didn't actually
Speaker 1: retire with that rank.
Speaker 14: So this is a little bit of semantics because what
Speaker 14: happened was that he had become the highest enlisted member
Speaker 14: of his unit, and it's called command sergeant major. He
Speaker 14: achieved that level in September of two thousand and four. Now,
Speaker 14: the Army Guard requirements or that you have to stay
Speaker 14: in it for three years, you have to meet certain
Speaker 14: requirements in order to retire at that rank. So he
Speaker 14: achieved it, but then he retired several months after getting
Speaker 14: to that level, so he wasn't able to keep that
Speaker 14: rank in retirement. So we saw yesterday the campaign changed.
Speaker 14: You know, they had retired command Sergeant Major Tim Walls.
Speaker 14: They changed that to former command Sergeant Major Tim Walls. Now,
Speaker 14: is that semantics, I don't know. I think the other
Speaker 14: allegation had a little bit more attraction of carrying the
Speaker 14: weapons in war. But of course all of this in
Speaker 14: its totality JD. Vance is saying simply, this is stolen valor.
Speaker 1: And apparently for somebody in the military, that's a pretty
Speaker 1: serious little allegation.
Speaker 4: And then there's there's the other talk that that.
Speaker 1: Walls retired before his before his unit was deployed, and
Speaker 1: that some of his people who were with him were
Speaker 1: not very happy about that.
Speaker 4: They think that he abandoned them.
Speaker 14: Well, you know, and that's a little bit murkier. He
Speaker 14: had already said that he was going to run for office.
Speaker 14: He was an anti war Democrat. He wanted to vote
Speaker 14: to end the war in Iraq, he wanted to bring
Speaker 14: troops home. He had filed papers to join to get
Speaker 14: into that race in January, and by March there was
Speaker 14: heavy speculation that his unit, the one that he was
Speaker 14: the highest enlisted member of, that it could possibly go
Speaker 14: to a rock. We've spoken with people too who say,
Speaker 14: you know, at the time, we didn't have an official
Speaker 14: alert order. There was speculation, but we didn't know for sure.
Speaker 14: He was very torn because if he went to a rock,
Speaker 14: you'd have to seek a deferment to stay in that
Speaker 14: house race. He of course filed his papers. Two months
Speaker 14: later they got the alert order. He ended up running
Speaker 14: for the house race and winning, flipping a Republican seat,
Speaker 14: and his unit ended up staying for close to two
Speaker 14: years in Iraq.
Speaker 4: Gotcha, Okay, So.
Speaker 1: We'll see if this one sticks or if everybody moves
Speaker 1: on and find something else to complain about. Be and Flaherty,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time and for clearing
Speaker 1: things up for us. We appreciate it.
Speaker 14: Thank you, all right.
Speaker 4: And either way, both jd.
Speaker 1: Vance and Tim Walls served in our military, and we
Speaker 1: of course appreciate that because, you know what, that's a
Speaker 1: big deal. Let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Orange
Speaker 1: County has demanded a nonprofit either prove how federal COVID
Speaker 1: relief funding was spent or return the money immediately.
Speaker 2: The two point two million dollars given to Via America
Speaker 2: Society was meant for meals for seeing. OC supervisor Katrina
Speaker 2: Foley says every nonprofit is required to keep documentation on
Speaker 2: how taxpayer money is used.
Speaker 1: If they can't prove how they spent the money, we
Speaker 1: won't be able to prove how the money was spent
Speaker 1: to the federal government, so we could be on the
Speaker 1: hook for that funding as well.
Speaker 2: OCI supervisor Andrew Doe directed the money to the nonprofit
Speaker 2: where his daughter worked. Doe and a lawyer for Vieta
Speaker 2: America Society have not responded to multiple requests for comment.
Speaker 2: In Orange County, Corbin Carson KFI.
Speaker 1: News and off duty Beverly Hills police officer has shot
Speaker 1: and killed a man in North Hills. LAPD Captain Brian
Speaker 1: Windling says the off duty officer tried to break up
Speaker 1: a fight last night on Roscoe Boulevard near the four
Speaker 1: h five.
Speaker 8: There were two people fighting.
Speaker 10: One was armed with a pipe, the other was armed
Speaker 10: with a handgun.
Speaker 5: We do not have all the facts at this point,
Speaker 5: but there was an officer involved shooting that occurred.
Speaker 1: The guy with the gun is the one who was killed.
Speaker 1: The guy with the pipe was arrested nearby. Samsung is
Speaker 1: recalling more than a million appliances. ABC's Dariel Helpinger says
Speaker 1: the problem is with knobs on Samsung electric stove sold
Speaker 1: since twenty thirteen.
Speaker 13: The Consumer Products Safety Commissions reviewed videos which showed dogs
Speaker 13: or cats jumping up against or onto certain models and
Speaker 13: pawing at the knobs. A dog in Colorado did that
Speaker 13: and accidentally set boxes on the stove a flame.
Speaker 1: Bad dog, she says that caused a house fire. Samsung
Speaker 1: says it'll provide knoblocks or covers for the recalled models.
Speaker 1: And Swifties have been serenading in the streets of Vienna,
Speaker 1: a day after Taylor Swift's sold out concerts in the
Speaker 1: Austrian capitol were canceled because of a terror threat. This
Speaker 1: thirteen year old fan joined in on the singing when the.
Speaker 4: News got out that was canceled.
Speaker 13: There were a lot of tears, but I'm happy that
Speaker 13: with other people are feeling the same and we're having
Speaker 13: a lot of fun together.
Speaker 1: Organizers in Vienna canceled three concerts on Wednesday when investigators
Speaker 1: found chemicals, explosives and detonators at the home of a
Speaker 1: nineteen year old so suspected would be attacker as well
Speaker 1: as ISIS propaganda. A seventeen year old was also arrested.
Speaker 1: A third teen was taken into custody yesterday, again, all
Speaker 1: three of those concerts were canceled. Former President Trump and
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris will debate at least once. ABC
Speaker 1: says Trump and Harris have agreed to a debate on
Speaker 1: September tenth. Harris has not agreed to two additional debates
Speaker 1: on Fox and on NBC September fourth and twenty fifth.
Speaker 1: Former President Trump talked about those during a news conference yesterday.
Speaker 1: Harris said she's looking forward to the debate on September tenth.
Speaker 1: The body of a fifteen year old swimmer who went
Speaker 1: missing while swimming with a friend in Huntington Beach in
Speaker 1: late July has been found. Huntington Beach Marine Safety officers
Speaker 1: found the body about ten am on Monday. The boy
Speaker 1: and a friend went swimming near Lifeguard Tower eleven on
Speaker 1: the night of July twenty eighth, and the boy never
Speaker 1: made it back to shore. Eastvale's Little leaguers they're going
Speaker 1: to play for a spot in the Little League World
Speaker 1: Series tonight. The championship game is being played at Al
Speaker 1: Houghton Stadium in sam Bernardino. Admission is free for fans
Speaker 1: if you want to go catch a baseball game. This
Speaker 1: is the farthest a team from Riverside County has advanced
Speaker 1: so far, we're just minutes away from Handle. On the
Speaker 1: news this morning, mortgage rates have fallen to their lowest
Speaker 1: level in more than a.
Speaker 4: Year, but they're still relatively high.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's entertainment guru, Jason
Speaker 1: Nathan Send.
Speaker 4: Welcome back, Jason.
Speaker 8: Hey, good to be here.
Speaker 4: Well, so it's.
Speaker 1: Week three for Deadpool and Wolverine. Is it going to
Speaker 1: dominate again or does it end with a new movie?
Speaker 8: It does not end, It'll keep going.
Speaker 7: The Deadpool Wolverine train is going to continue, probably this
Speaker 7: weekend with a fifty million dollars or so weekend. But
Speaker 7: but if Blake Lively's new movie it ends with US
Speaker 7: overperforms and Deadpool underperforms, then you might see something, you know,
Speaker 7: a little bit of a competition there.
Speaker 8: But I don't think that's going to be the case.
Speaker 7: Though I think the Blake Blake Lively movie is going
Speaker 7: to do well. I just don't think it's going to
Speaker 7: do Deadpool type numbers. And it's interesting because the two
Speaker 7: of them, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, of course, are married,
Speaker 7: and it's the first time since nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 8: I think, no nineteen ninety.
Speaker 7: That you've had a married couple with the top two
Speaker 7: movies at the box office, and that was Bruce Willis
Speaker 7: with Diehard two and De me More.
Speaker 8: With Ghost Wow. So a little bit of trivia there.
Speaker 4: And a little bit of a friendly competition.
Speaker 1: I hope that they're doing well because remember when Reese
Speaker 1: Witherspoon and what was the guy's named, Ryan Philippi? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she was all of a sudden getting all this
Speaker 1: success and then pretty soon their marriage fell apart.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you know that happens. I guess, yeah.
Speaker 7: I don't think that's the case. Here you see both
Speaker 7: of them heavily support each other at both of their movies.
Speaker 7: We love to see that premiers and press Junkinson and
Speaker 7: all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: Okay, And did you get to see it ends with us?
Speaker 7: I did, yes, And so it ends with us stars
Speaker 7: Blake Lively as a character named Lily Bloom who owns
Speaker 7: a flower shop, which just from that, I'm like, I
Speaker 7: don't know about this. It's based on a wildly popular
Speaker 7: novel by Colleen Hoover, which I know a lot of
Speaker 7: people have read and was a best seller, and given
Speaker 7: the name Lily Bloom and the flower shop thing, and
Speaker 7: the trailer that I saw, which does get into the
Speaker 7: fact that this is a movie that is about domestic violence,
Speaker 7: I was kind of like, I don't know, is this
Speaker 7: gonna be kind of lifetimey And I was actually very
Speaker 7: surprised at just how kind of thought provoking, nuanced and complicated.
Speaker 8: It is a look at a.
Speaker 7: Domestic abuse story, not something that we've seen before. The
Speaker 7: Lily Bloom character is a woman who she moves from
Speaker 7: kind of suburb to Boston. She's trying to start her
Speaker 7: own business, this flower shop. She meets a guy and
Speaker 7: who is who's played by Justin Baldoni, who's also the
Speaker 7: director of the film. They spark an intense relationship that
Speaker 7: you think at the beginning this is kind of like
Speaker 7: it's a romantic movie, but then things turn kind of
Speaker 7: serious and a little bit different, And like I said,
Speaker 7: it's subverted my expectations, which which is a good thing.
Speaker 8: It's not black and white. This is not a lifetime.
Speaker 7: Movie, and I appreciated that Justin Baldoni is complicated and
Speaker 7: nuanced and he's strong here. Jenny Slat also co stars,
Speaker 7: who is she's the best friend, she's comic relief shore,
Speaker 7: but she also has a nice dramatic touch with her
Speaker 7: character as well. And so overall, I was more impressed
Speaker 7: than I thought I was going to be with this
Speaker 7: film and Blake Lively, of course, I think is just fantastic.
Speaker 8: She's great and just about everything she's in, and I
Speaker 8: would love to see her in more.
Speaker 7: You know, she hasn't really led a whole lot of
Speaker 7: movies as of late, and she's got a bunch of
Speaker 7: things going on, and she's got different clothing lines and
Speaker 7: drink lines and you know, things like that, and I
Speaker 7: get it, but I would also love she's really she's
Speaker 7: she's dramatic here, she's also very funny. I would love
Speaker 7: to see her in a straight up rom com. I
Speaker 7: think she'd be great and something like that. Maybe with
Speaker 7: her husband. I don't know, but I think she elevates
Speaker 7: this film higher than what it would have been. So
Speaker 7: that said, it's not amazing, but it was much better
Speaker 7: than I expected.
Speaker 8: And this is seven point two out of ten for me.
Speaker 1: And was that Do you think it's worth going to
Speaker 1: the theater or wait for the stream?
Speaker 8: You know, that's that's gonna be a personal thing.
Speaker 7: I will always advocate for the theater experience. Do you
Speaker 7: need it for this? Not necessarily? No, I mean it
Speaker 7: is not. You know, I think there are there are
Speaker 7: some movies these days that necess that. I think a
Speaker 7: Deadpool is one of them. I think a horror movie,
Speaker 7: a comedy where you're in a group setting. I don't
Speaker 7: think you need to be in a group setting necessarily
Speaker 7: to see a movie like this, And it's not. It's
Speaker 7: one of those tough ones because it's not a romantic movie,
Speaker 7: although there are elements of romance, so it's not like
Speaker 7: a date night movie necessarily. But I think it is
Speaker 7: good for couples necessary to see. I think it is
Speaker 7: good for groups of female friends and male friends to
Speaker 7: go see as well, But it's not the kind of
Speaker 7: collective experience you necessarily have to have.
Speaker 1: In atheist Okay, okay, So then moving on, I'm interested
Speaker 1: in Girl. You know it's true because I loved the
Speaker 1: song and then the scandal surrounding Millie Vanilli.
Speaker 4: But is it enough for a movie?
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, the story itself is fascinating.
Speaker 7: I think I think here the story is maybe better
Speaker 7: than the movie itself, not that the.
Speaker 8: Movie is bad but it's not.
Speaker 7: I think, if done properly, this could be like an
Speaker 7: all time great music biopic because the story is so fascinating,
Speaker 7: the story of Million Dan Millian, what happened there and
Speaker 7: these two guys, one German one French, who when you
Speaker 7: hear them open their mouths, you're like, how did anybody
Speaker 7: buy the fact that these guys are singing these songs?
Speaker 7: Because the guys who were singing these songs were you know,
Speaker 7: American almost kind of like Motown guys, and.
Speaker 8: You know, hit the highs that they had that they hit.
Speaker 7: With number one songs, several hits in a row, they
Speaker 7: won a Grammy, and you also just you realize how
Speaker 7: different a time it was in the late eighties and
Speaker 7: early nineties, because that just couldn't happen today with because
Speaker 7: nobody in the general public heard these guys speak. Now,
Speaker 7: when they were in rooms with the executives, they heard
Speaker 7: them speak, right, and they did do some interviews here
Speaker 7: and there, but for the most part, if most people,
Speaker 7: if they had had a TikTok or an Instagram, you know,
Speaker 7: you would have been going like, the voices don't match up.
Speaker 7: So it was very specific to that time that said
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just a fascinating story. And if you
Speaker 7: remember or if you're around at the time, and I
Speaker 7: was like twelve thirteen, fourteen during when these songs were hitting,
Speaker 7: and so I remember this happening, and I remember the
Speaker 7: music videos on MTV in heavy rotation. But I also
Speaker 7: remember it being like a joke, right, it was a
Speaker 7: national or international joke of what happened with Milli Vanilli.
Speaker 7: And then also you realize there were actual, you know,
Speaker 7: tragic consequences here, with Rob Palatis, one of the members
Speaker 7: of Milli Vanilli dying just eight years after the whole
Speaker 7: scandal was revealed of a drug overdose and he fell
Speaker 7: into deep depression and drug use because of the scandal
Speaker 7: that happened. I mean, this what happened here took his life. Now,
Speaker 7: Robin Faber painted here as pretty much victims, and I
Speaker 7: think that's how they see themselves, or saw themselves victims
Speaker 7: of Frank Ferry and the producer who was kind of
Speaker 7: just looking for hits and would do any to get them,
Speaker 7: and the record label Arista and them really kind of
Speaker 7: perpetrating this fraud on the public. So I think, you know,
Speaker 7: to what degree that they had a little bit more
Speaker 7: culpability here. I think it may be a little more
Speaker 7: than you should see in the movie. But because their
Speaker 7: family and fab are involved in the movie, you get
Speaker 7: the music, right, you get the backstory, you.
Speaker 8: Get a lot of interesting stuff.
Speaker 7: So it's all interesting and it's an interesting watch, even
Speaker 7: though the quality is a little.
Speaker 8: Lower than I would have liked. It's a seven point
Speaker 8: three out of ten for me.
Speaker 1: Okay, And now, of course we're running out of time,
Speaker 1: and I hate that. I always want more time with you.
Speaker 1: Jason on the stream, Matt Damon and Ben's baby brother,
Speaker 1: Casey comes to Apple TV for the Instigators. We don't
Speaker 1: have time to talk much about it, but just a
Speaker 1: thumbs up, thumbs down, what do you think?
Speaker 8: Five point eight out of ten.
Speaker 7: It's a heist movie that I wanted to be funnier
Speaker 7: than it actually was, and although it gets right.
Speaker 8: To the action, so all right.
Speaker 1: And then I saw a trailer for this one. Borderlands
Speaker 1: opens this weekend. Big names. Is it gonna be a big.
Speaker 7: Kate, Kate Langent, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis. It has
Speaker 7: a seven percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 4: Right now, so I think the trailer was awful.
Speaker 8: There you go.
Speaker 4: Is that is the movie that way too?
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it, so oh well, there you go.
Speaker 1: I probably will not make an effort to go see
Speaker 1: that one, which is disappointing because, like you said, big names.
Speaker 8: You probably don't need to.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Jason Nathanson, appreciate it, all right,
Speaker 1: ticket all right, This is KFI and KOST HD two
