Speaker 1: think things are looking pretty good for my boys in blue.
Speaker 1: Thirty three scoreless innings for the Dodger pitching staff.
Speaker 4: Right, so that ties the record.
Speaker 1: So if if they go scoreless in the first inning
Speaker 1: of today's game, that's a new Major League record. Unbelievable,
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. A
Speaker 1: forty nine year old man arrested at a checkpoint near

Speaker 4: Doesn't that sound very cool? That's coming up this hour.
Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of these stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man from
Speaker 1: Las Vegas caught with guns and fake id's outside the
Speaker 1: Trump rally and Coachella Valley says he was not there
Speaker 1: to kill Trompe, claims to be a supporter. VM Miller
Speaker 1: was arrested Saturday at a checkpoint leading into the venue.
Speaker 1: Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco called the arrest a thwarted
Speaker 1: assassination attempt.
Speaker 5: It's all going to be speculation about what his intentions
Speaker 5: were getting there. What we do know is he showed
Speaker 5: up with multiple passports with different names, an unregistered vehicle
Speaker 5: with fake license plate, and loaded firearms.
Speaker 1: The sheriff says Miller appeared to be a member or
Speaker 1: admirer of so called sovereign citizens who don't believe the
Speaker 1: government has authority over them. The Secret Service, as former
Speaker 1: President Trump was not in any danger and that a
Speaker 1: federal investigation is ongoing.
Speaker 4: A nineteen year.
Speaker 1: Old man's been arrested for allegedly killing his father in
Speaker 1: the San Gabriel Mountains. The father was killed Saturday on
Speaker 1: Mount Baldy Road near Stoddard Canyon Falls. Sheriff's deputies say
Speaker 1: he had trauma to his upper body. A man seen
Speaker 1: driving off crashed a few miles away. He turned out
Speaker 1: to be the dead man's son. He's been booked on
Speaker 1: suspicion of murder. President Biden has toured parts of Florida
Speaker 1: impacted by two major hurricanes. Visit yesterday was the second
Speaker 1: in two weeks. Biden announced more than six hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars for projects related to hurricanes Milton and Helene.
Speaker 6: This is all team effort, folks. You made a big
Speaker 6: difference and has saved lives, but there's much more to do.
Speaker 6: We're going to do everything we can to get power
Speaker 6: back in your home, not only help when you recover,
Speaker 6: but to help you build back stronger.
Speaker 1: Nearly eight hundred thousand homes and businesses are still without
Speaker 1: power as of yesterday. Florida Governor Rond de Sande says
Speaker 1: FEMA will pay for one hundred percent of debris removal
Speaker 1: for ninety days. SpaceX has pulled off a successful test
Speaker 1: flight of its enormous Starship rocket. The empty starship launched
Speaker 1: yesterday in southern Texas and arked over the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 1: Then a few minutes later, mechanical arms stretched out and
Speaker 1: caught the rocket booster back at the launch pad.
Speaker 7: We have successfully.
Speaker 3: Copy Easter.
Speaker 1: The spacecraft splast into the Indian Ocean as planned. Another
Speaker 1: first for SpaceX. So impressive. I would have loved to
Speaker 1: have seen that. I think I'm gonna have to go
Speaker 1: and google it. Let's say good morning too, ABC's Geordana
Speaker 1: Miller in Jerusalem.
Speaker 4: Good morningda.
Speaker 1: Israel continues to take heap for airstrikes into Lebanon, but
Speaker 1: meanwhile Hesbola just continues to love hundreds of rockets into Israel.
Speaker 8: That's right, rockets, missiles, anti tank missiles, and drones. One
Speaker 8: yesterday hitting an IDF military base injuring dozens, and overnight
Speaker 8: four soldiers that were severely injured died of their wounds.
Speaker 8: So this strike now on a base in central Israel,
Speaker 8: killing four soldiers, another fifteen are recovering or trying to
Speaker 8: recover from you know, very serious injuries, and another thirty
Speaker 8: or so from shrapnel wounds. This was you know, a
Speaker 8: very that terrible and painful day for Israel, given you know,
Speaker 8: this was a combat training base for Gobani. It's one
Speaker 8: of Israel's, Israel's really premiere fighting unit. And we heard
Speaker 8: the Israeli Defense Minister talk about what a painful day
Speaker 8: it was, and that Israel's investing all kinds of efforts
Speaker 8: to try to come up with better solutions for combating
Speaker 8: has Bolla drones. They've persistently been a problem for the
Speaker 8: Israeli army through this war. They're small, they fly low,
Speaker 8: they have a short flight path, and they can switch,
Speaker 8: you know, they can twist and turn before they hit
Speaker 8: their target, which is usually programmed by twops, very very
Speaker 8: specific you know locators, and you know they're hard to
Speaker 8: detect and shoot down because of all of that. So
Speaker 8: they have really been one of Hsbala's quote unquote best
Speaker 8: weapons against Israel. And yesterday they have this drone happened
Speaker 8: to hit a dining hall where dozens of soldiers that
Speaker 8: just come in, you know, to sit down and eat.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, Jordan, I'm curious because we've talked about and
Speaker 1: heard about so much in the last year about the
Speaker 1: number of people killed in Gaza, that the Gaza's health ministry,
Speaker 1: which is run by Hamas, is in like forty thousand
Speaker 1: something to that effect. Lebanon's health ministry is saying that
Speaker 1: how many people have been killed there? We don't hear
Speaker 1: much about Israel I mean for yesterday, and I think
Speaker 1: there were a couple more of the week before.
Speaker 4: Do we have any idea.
Speaker 1: How severely Israel's military has been hit during all of this.
Speaker 4: Or do they just kind of keep it we.
Speaker 8: No, they don't keep it quiet. Every soldier that is killed,
Speaker 8: there's an announcement. Every soldier that's severely wounded. By the way,
Speaker 8: there's also an official announcement from the Israeli army. And
Speaker 8: if you can believe it, every person who's been killed
Speaker 8: in this war and now since not you know, if
Speaker 8: we don't look at October seventh, right, but we look
Speaker 8: at since Israel went into Gaza at the end of October,
Speaker 8: since the ground operation began in Gaza then later in Lebanon,
Speaker 8: there have been about four hundred soldiers killed. And you know,
Speaker 8: their funerals are always broadcast clips of their funerals on
Speaker 8: the Israeli media here, so you know, there's no hiding
Speaker 8: who's been killed. It's over four hundred soldiers in the north.
Speaker 8: There have been about three dozen civilians that were killed
Speaker 8: before Israel went in on the ground in southern Lebanon,
Speaker 8: and the fighting now between Israel and Husbala is particularly intense.
Speaker 8: It has intensified. You know, on average, there's about two
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty Hasbala rockets and drones and missiles fired,
Speaker 8: you know onto northern Israel and those most of the
Speaker 8: areas are evacuated, but some of them are not. I
Speaker 8: mean the Haifa bay and area, there's about a million
Speaker 8: Israelis there and earlier today has balafired on central Israel
Speaker 8: and that you know, put off sirens. Another one million
Speaker 8: people around Natanya and Herzelia, the coastal areas. So, you know,
Speaker 8: has Bala even though they've been hit very hard in
Speaker 8: their leadership, Israel taken out dozens of Husbala leaders. You see,
Speaker 8: they had such a huge arsenal of weapons that they
Speaker 8: are still able to fire mid and short and long
Speaker 8: ridge missiles on Israel. Right, they are not. They're not defeated,
Speaker 8: and Israel knows that. Right, even though they've made what
Speaker 8: Israel considers good ground in setting Hasbala back and harming them.
Speaker 8: They know they're still still a formidable enemy, right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well, thank you so much for the update, Jordana.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it as always, and we'll talk to you again.
Speaker 8: No problem, We'll talk soon, all right, take you by.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom of fire that
Speaker 1: has burned about two hundred acres near Beaumont is twenty
Speaker 1: percent surrounded. Officials say fire crews have stopped it from spreading.
Speaker 1: The fire started it yesterday afternoon in the hills near
Speaker 1: the sixty Freeway and Jack Rabbit Trail. There were no
Speaker 1: injuries or evacuation orders. People in Pasadena are being urged
Speaker 1: to be cautious because of coyotes.
Speaker 9: Coyote sightings in the city increased by seventy percent during
Speaker 9: the first eight months of the year compared to last year.
Speaker 9: Pasadena Public Health Acting Director Manuel Carmona says despite the sightings,
Speaker 9: there have been no reports of coyotes attacking humans in years.
Speaker 10: But in terms of attacks on pets, that is something
Speaker 10: that happens rather frequently, and it's just a matter of
Speaker 10: you know, in fact the coyotes you see small pets
Speaker 10: such as cats and small dogs as brave.
Speaker 9: Officials say people should keep cats indoors and make sure
Speaker 9: dogs are supervised. They also say people shouldn't leave pet
Speaker 9: food outside. Chris Sadler KFI News.
Speaker 1: And maybe parachutist has missed a landing spot and crash
Speaker 1: landed on a woman and a teenager during a Fleet
Speaker 1: week air show in San Francisco. Six members of the
Speaker 1: Navy Leapfrogs jumped out of a plane yesterday. One missed
Speaker 1: the planned mark and landed on the spectators. San francisc
Speaker 1: Go Fire Departments is the woman and teens suffered minor injuries,
Speaker 1: but the mother was taken to the hospital just in
Speaker 1: case to be checked out. The jumper was not injured.
Speaker 1: Some of the leading sports venues in Australia are pushing
Speaker 1: for a regular season NFL game to be played down Under.
Speaker 1: Officials from Sydney, Melbourne and Perth all flew to London
Speaker 1: over the weekend to meet with NFL representatives during the
Speaker 1: Week six game between the Bears and Jaguars in the UK.
Speaker 1: One of the Aussie venues in the running is the
Speaker 1: famous Melbourne Cricket ground, which has the capacity of one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand fans. A man from Las Vegas who says
Speaker 1: he's a Trump supporter, has been arrested outside the former
Speaker 1: president's rally in Coachella after being found in possession of guns, ammunition,
Speaker 1: fake passports, and fake license plates. The Riverside County Sheriff
Speaker 1: says he believes his deputies prevented a third assassination attempt
Speaker 1: on Trump. A new NBC News poll shows former President
Speaker 1: Trump and Vice President Harris are locked in a dead
Speaker 1: heat just twenty two days from election day. Trump and
Speaker 1: here each received forty eight percent support from likely voters
Speaker 1: in the poll. Ten percent of those polled said they
Speaker 1: might still change their minds. Crowds have gathered Newport Beach
Speaker 1: to see the waves glowing, Yeah, glowing. It's a phenomenon
Speaker 1: caused by living organisms that emit light in response to
Speaker 1: being agitated by the waves. It's called bioluminescence. It's not
Speaker 1: clear how long it's going to be around, but it
Speaker 1: is common around this time of year. Orange County Outdoors
Speaker 1: told KTLA there were also some dolphins swimming around near
Speaker 1: the beach and they were lighting up too, but that
Speaker 1: was a sight coming up this hour an Acoustic Evening
Speaker 1: with Rick Springfield and that's Richard Marks that come into
Speaker 1: the Cirito Center for the Performing Arts on November fifteenth,
Speaker 1: and we have a pair of tickets to give away
Speaker 1: this hour during wake up call at six oh five,
Speaker 1: it's handle on the news. The US is sending some
Speaker 1: big guns into Israel.
Speaker 4: Right now.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning to ab Sees Jim Ryan in Florida.
Speaker 1: So it's drying up in Florida, but they are a
Speaker 1: long way from normalcy. What are the residents who are
Speaker 1: evacuated because of the storm finding as they get back
Speaker 1: into their neighborhoods a.
Speaker 11: Big, big mess, full disclosure, not in Florida, any Oh
Speaker 11: you're not you went home? Yeah, this is really a
Speaker 11: tragic situation down there. They still have four hundred and
Speaker 11: six thousand power outages across Florida, and they're primarily concentrated
Speaker 11: on the west part of the state where the storm
Speaker 11: came ashore.
Speaker 4: But you can follow the.
Speaker 11: Outages on this map that shows almost exactly where the
Speaker 11: storm went, where Hurricane Milton went after it made landfall,
Speaker 11: going up to the northeast of there and then jumping
Speaker 11: back into the Atlantic and Volusia County. Valusia has ten
Speaker 11: thousand power outages today, So yeah, still a difficult situation.
Speaker 11: Their fuel is hard to come by. And what's more,
Speaker 11: amy even some places that didn't flood as a direct
Speaker 11: result of Hurricane Milton are flooding now because the runoff
Speaker 11: for Milton, that's very, very flat country out there in Florida,
Speaker 11: was flowing into creeks. The creeks flow into streams, the
Speaker 11: streams flow into, for example, the Saint John's River on
Speaker 11: the east side of the state or the Hillsboro River
Speaker 11: on the west side of the state, and suddenly you've
Speaker 11: got flooding in areas that didn't have flooding before. The
Speaker 11: rivers crested over the weekend and flood waters were flowing
Speaker 11: out into neighborhoods. Again, you had even under Sunny Skies
Speaker 11: high water rescues going on.
Speaker 1: So it was that sort of a surprise or had
Speaker 1: they been warned that that that was coming.
Speaker 11: There were warnings about that late last week, But yeah,
Speaker 11: I think people were a little incredulous, right, They thought,
Speaker 11: that's nothing going to happen, And would I, by the way,
Speaker 11: have flood insurance if I live forty miles inland from
Speaker 11: the coast, well because of something like this, and yeah, unfortunate,
Speaker 11: I think unforeseen consequence of a hurricane like Milton.
Speaker 1: You mentioned flood insurance, you know that like in North
Speaker 1: Carolina where they had those devastating floods in the mountains
Speaker 1: that they really weren't expecting. And probably people are like,
Speaker 1: we're not going to have floods, so we don't have
Speaker 1: flood insurance. Does kind of everybody in Florida have flood insurance?
Speaker 11: No. My understanding is about something like the twenty percent
Speaker 11: of the population has flood insurance, and folks living inland
Speaker 11: they don't bother checking and taking that policy out, and
Speaker 11: now they're finding out that it probably is a good idea.
Speaker 11: I think people around the country who think they don't
Speaker 11: have a threat of flood might want to take a
Speaker 11: look at that as well. But in Florida, the average
Speaker 11: cost of flood insurance through the NFIP, the National Flood
Speaker 11: Insurance Program is seven hundred and seventy six dollars per year.
Speaker 11: But those rates are going to go up as we
Speaker 11: have more flooding going on. In one zip code there
Speaker 11: in Florida, the average annual bill could be four thousand
Speaker 11: dollars as a result of these hurricanes that we keep
Speaker 11: seeing there.
Speaker 1: I heard too, I was reading a story over the
Speaker 1: weekend about that. The other issue with some of the
Speaker 1: people who do have flood insurance is that as they're
Speaker 1: filming out their claims, they have to distinguish whether it
Speaker 1: was Hurricane Helene or Hurricane Milton.
Speaker 4: And so that's causing like a.
Speaker 1: Paperwork problem because they're not sure which funds to go
Speaker 1: through or something like that.
Speaker 4: So just got to cut through the red tape people.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, and of course some people are dealing with
Speaker 11: the day aftermath of both storms. If you live there
Speaker 11: in Sarazola County or in outside Tampa, you got damage
Speaker 11: from both storms. So yeah, you can imagine the complication
Speaker 11: of writing a check to some homeowner because they have
Speaker 11: both kinds of insurance, are both kinds of damage or
Speaker 11: from both storms. So yeah, it's a complicated process regardless.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you know this, but if
Speaker 1: water gets into a house like it hasn't, it's there
Speaker 1: for a couple of days at least for what we're seeing,
Speaker 1: before it starts receeating. Can you fix that home or
Speaker 1: is it basically a tear down because the water is
Speaker 1: just wrecked it.
Speaker 11: You can't fix it. You can get in there. Most
Speaker 11: likely the carpet is destroyed. They try drying it out.
Speaker 11: Your insurance agent will say, we're gonna get some fans
Speaker 11: and there, we'll try to blow it out. And if
Speaker 11: it's not too badly soaked, and if it hasn't gone
Speaker 11: too long, it could be okay. They're gonna have to
Speaker 11: cut away the dry wall because once the dry wall
Speaker 11: is wet, then it starts to mold. After a couple
Speaker 11: of days, the studs should be okay. But you know,
Speaker 11: in some places, You're right, it's just kind of a
Speaker 11: tear down if the damage is that extensive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I'm seeing pictures and a video of
Speaker 1: neighborhoods where you see there's obviously some damage, the houses
Speaker 1: are still standing, but then you can't see the roadway
Speaker 1: because it is literally covered with sand. Now, so how
Speaker 1: are they do? They just have bulldozers out there.
Speaker 11: And clear in the roads, right, Yeah, they've got bulldozers
Speaker 11: and front loaders and different pieces of equipment out there.
Speaker 11: Why the National Guard was in place to push away
Speaker 11: some of the debris, whether it's palm trees or you know,
Speaker 11: other trees that have fallen or sand there along the
Speaker 11: shoreline to try to get the roads cleared so that
Speaker 11: utility crews can get down there and start restoring power.
Speaker 11: But I mean, still, what are we four days, one, two, three,
Speaker 11: four days after the storm came ashore, four hundred thousand
Speaker 11: homes and businesses still.
Speaker 8: Have no power.
Speaker 1: The only good thing about that is, like you said,
Speaker 1: that the weather's pretty decent. It's not like one hundred
Speaker 1: degrees and super super mundy.
Speaker 11: That was one thing. The day after the storm, the
Speaker 11: weather in Tampa was kind of nice. It was beautiful.
Speaker 11: It was cool and dry, and so it was nice.
Speaker 11: But the other part is, don't forget about western North Carolina.
Speaker 11: They have a major recovery underway, and I think it's
Speaker 11: being overshadowed now by Florida and Milton.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because like we said, they weren't expecting it, so
Speaker 1: they hadn't prepared for it. So it's going to be
Speaker 1: a long roadback for everybody. Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: the information, and as always, Jim, we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 11: Thanks. Amy.
Speaker 1: The company that owns seven eleven says it's closing more
Speaker 1: than four hundred underperforming stores in North America.

Speaker 1: LA's temporary outdoor dining program could become permanent, making.
Speaker 7: It easy to offer outdoor dining was a move the

Speaker 7: Councilman Nythia Rahman, who's pushed to keep it in place permanently,
Speaker 7: says there are high cost entries.
Speaker 12: I introduced this motion to see how we can actually
Speaker 12: make sure that the barriers that businesses are facing into
Speaker 12: making their alfresco units into permanent ALFRESCO units are addressed.
Speaker 7: The city council approved a request to have city departments
Speaker 7: look into the cost as well as the potential inefficiencies
Speaker 7: that have kept enrollment in the program below ten percent

Speaker 1: caught a returning booster rocket that came back down at
Speaker 1: the launchpad in Texas after the star Ship rocket lifted
Speaker 1: off yesterday. So the empty starship launches it arcs over
Speaker 1: the Gulf of Mexico comes back down and gets grabbed

Speaker 4: Pretty impressive. We've got tickets too.
Speaker 1: No, Rick Springfield and Richard Marx coming to the Cerritos
Speaker 1: Center for the Performing Arts.
Speaker 4: Got a pair of tickets coming up in just minutes.
Speaker 4: Stick around.
Speaker 1: At six oh five, it's handle on the news. Governor
Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis has skipped another meeting with President Biden as
Speaker 1: Florida cleans up from hurricanes Milton and Helene. At five
Speaker 1: point fifty, we've got another space shuttle in LA. Didn't
Speaker 1: even know about it, and it's about to preay through
Speaker 1: the streets of the city. We're going to tell you
Speaker 1: all about where you can see it and when it
Speaker 1: is moving. But right now, let's say good morning, two
Speaker 1: ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, we're twenty two days away from
Speaker 1: election day, and it seems like we're getting poll results
Speaker 1: every day. I mean, it might not be every day,
Speaker 1: but it sure seems like it. What are the most
Speaker 1: recent polls show?
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, I'll tell you. I mean, we have a
Speaker 13: fresh data from ABC News, so I like to, you know,
Speaker 13: dive into our own data.
Speaker 8: So let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let's take yours.
Speaker 13: Yeah, all right, So we have it as a statistically
Speaker 13: tied race in our ABC News HIPSOS poll, Harris ahead
Speaker 13: of Trump fifty to forty eight. That is a statistical
Speaker 13: tie within the poll's margin of error, which is two points.
Speaker 13: So it's a two point lead for Harris. That is
Speaker 13: again the margin of era.
Speaker 1: That's a tie.
Speaker 13: In the battleground states, Stephen Closer tied at forty nine
Speaker 13: percent apiece. The seven battleground states that will decide this.
Speaker 1: Election, all seven of them are tied at forty nine.
Speaker 13: Well, as an average, we look at right exactly yah now,
Speaker 13: but if you look at the five thirty eight polling
Speaker 13: average of each of those states, you see it's basically
Speaker 13: just about except with one or two exceptions within one
Speaker 13: percentage point. In terms of the various leads that either
Speaker 13: Harris or Trump had, there's a large gender gap in
Speaker 13: our nationwide serve if women favor Harris by nine points,
Speaker 13: men favor Trump by eight And looking deeper inside the demographics,
Speaker 13: African American men a major focus of the Harris campaign,
Speaker 13: this week, specifically today, she's unveiling a raft of new
Speaker 13: policies to benefit black men in this country. Eighteen percent
Speaker 13: of African American men now favor Trump. That's worrisome for
Speaker 13: the Democrats. It is about the same level of support
Speaker 13: for Trump we saw in our polling four years ago
Speaker 13: seventy six percent of Black men favor Harris. And in
Speaker 13: a close election as this one is, it'll be decided
Speaker 13: on the margins. Trump's game has been to cut into
Speaker 13: Harris's support among African American men. If you can continue
Speaker 13: to do that, the race might be his now. On
Speaker 13: the issues, voters trust Trump more than Harris to handle
Speaker 13: the economy, and among those who say the economy is
Speaker 13: getting worse and most voters do, three quarters of them
Speaker 13: say they prefer Trump. Another significant finding in our poll
Speaker 13: comes to an issue that weighs in Trump's favor.
Speaker 1: That's immigration.
Speaker 13: A majority in our survey fifty six percent say that
Speaker 13: all immigrants in the country illegally should be deported. That
Speaker 13: is a twenty percentage point jump on that question in
Speaker 13: our polling from eight years ago. In twenty sixteen, Trump
Speaker 13: has made this an issue, and increasingly he's brought voters
Speaker 13: along voters like the proposals that Harris Is brought to
Speaker 13: the table, such as a six thousand dollars per trial
Speaker 13: tax credit, a twenty five thousand dollars grant to first
Speaker 13: time home buyers, limits on grocer's profits. When those issues
Speaker 13: are put to voters, majorities find them favorable. Majorities also
Speaker 13: like them of Trump's proposals, including an end to taxes
Speaker 13: on Social Security benefits tariffs on imports. They do not
Speaker 13: like Trump's proposal to lower the corporate tax rate. That's
Speaker 13: one area where Trump is finding that he's not raising
Speaker 13: a popular.
Speaker 1: Issue except for the corporate guys.
Speaker 4: They like it.
Speaker 1: Sure course.
Speaker 13: Look, Trump has a town hall tonight outside of Philadelphia.
Speaker 13: Harris is also in Pennsylvania, in the western part of
Speaker 13: the state, and eerie because that state, with its nineteen
Speaker 13: electoral votes, is going to be pivotal, and mars is
Speaker 13: it's her tenth visit to that state since she's become
Speaker 13: the nominee. Similarly, Trump has made repeat visits to Pennsylvania.
Speaker 13: This is, as I understand it, one of his first
Speaker 13: stops in the Philadelphia suburbs. And you know, we could
Speaker 13: talk about all of his efforts in recent days, particularly
Speaker 13: the rally in Coachella on Saturday to appear in blue states.
Speaker 13: You know, there are a couple of theories about that.
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you about that, Yeah, right.
Speaker 13: One the theory that I have is that Trump is
Speaker 13: trying to boost his support in the popular vote. He
Speaker 13: obviously wants to win the electoral college, that's the game.
Speaker 13: But the thinking amongst pundits for years has been that
Speaker 13: Donald Trump is not going to win the popular vote.
Speaker 13: That he did not win it in twenty sixteen, he
Speaker 13: did not win it in twenty twenty. But now we
Speaker 13: see a national race that is so close that if
Speaker 13: Trump can encourage enough of his supporters to come out
Speaker 13: in states where he's not expected to win the state
Speaker 13: wide vote, perhaps he will narrow that gap in the
Speaker 13: popular vote, maybe even win it. It's insignificant when it
Speaker 13: comes to the outcome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it doesn't matter, That's right.
Speaker 13: But nevertheless, it undermines an argument that liberals democrats have
Speaker 13: made that the electoral college itself is a flawed system
Speaker 13: and that Donald Trump doesn't have legitimacy as president even
Speaker 13: if he wins the electoral college because most Americans didn't
Speaker 13: vote for him if that turns out not to be
Speaker 13: the case and most Americans do vote for Trump, well,
Speaker 13: then that completely undermines the Democratic argument and it gives
Speaker 13: Trump more of a mandate if he is to become
Speaker 13: the forty seventh president.
Speaker 1: Is there also some thought that by him showing up
Speaker 1: and hope and as he hopes to increase the number
Speaker 1: of votes that he gets in states that he's not
Speaker 1: going to win, that he might help with some of
Speaker 1: the down ballots.
Speaker 13: There's part of that. I mean, look, there's always the
Speaker 13: idea that you know, there's either a House member or
Speaker 13: a senator who may be on the bubble and a
Speaker 13: Trump rally can help. There's no doubt that that's part
Speaker 13: of it. And encouraging Trump supportvoters to come out and
Speaker 13: vote for those down ballot candidates when they otherwise might
Speaker 13: just send it out and say, oh, I live in
Speaker 13: southern California. Doesn't matter because I'm a Trump voter. But
Speaker 13: the overall, you know, the state and it's fifty four
Speaker 13: electoral votes are going to go to Kamala Harris no
Speaker 13: matter what. Why bother wasting, you know, whatever time it
Speaker 13: takes to go to the polling place and vote. I
Speaker 13: think you know Trump may have that in mind too.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we'll be watching interesting, interesting stuff. So looking
Speaker 1: forward to talking to you many more times before the election,
Speaker 1: which is just three weeks away. Can you believe it?
Speaker 13: I can't wait.
Speaker 1: After watching all the news shows yesterday, I can't wait either.
Speaker 1: I'm so sick of the ads, and we're not in
Speaker 1: one of the states that's being bombarded with the presidential ads,
Speaker 1: which I'm thankful for.
Speaker 8: Sure.
Speaker 13: Well, you have a Senate race and a whole bunch
Speaker 13: of other important races that DA's race too.
Speaker 1: We'll be watching it all too, Yes, we do, thank
Speaker 1: you so much, Steven Portinoy. You bet all right. Let's
Speaker 1: get back to some of the stories coming out of
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Prosecutors in La sam
Speaker 1: Bernardino and Riverside Counties have fun Lamps plus four point
Speaker 1: one million dollars for unfair competition and false advertising LUs.
Speaker 2: Civil Law Enforcement complain alleges. Lamps plus advertised price protection
Speaker 2: policies price match and one hundred and twenty percent price
Speaker 2: match guarantee, but didn't disclose the policies didn't apply to
Speaker 2: its own products. Riverside County DA spokeswoman Talia Hayden says
Speaker 2: the company claimed the product was a bargain when it
Speaker 2: didn't even have a competitor.
Speaker 14: Also, the strike through advertised reference price on sales tags
Speaker 14: was allegedly used to indicate a bargain price even where
Speaker 14: the advertised former price was not an actual former price.
Speaker 2: Lamps Plus did not have to admit wrongdoing last week
Speaker 2: for the stipulated judgment. Corbin Carson Kfin.
Speaker 1: News China has started doing large scale military exercises surrounding Taiwan. Warplanes, helicopters,
Speaker 1: and drones have been spotted today within Taiwan's Air Defense
Speaker 1: Identification Zone. The drills followed Taiwan's celebration last week of
Speaker 1: its National Day. China's Defense Ministry says the drills are
Speaker 1: a response to the Taiwan East President's refusal to accept
Speaker 1: Beija's demand that Taiwan acknowledge itself as part of the
Speaker 1: People's Republic of China. The horror movie Terrifier three, about
Speaker 1: a killer clown, has scared its way into first place
Speaker 1: at the box office. The ultra gory slasher movie earned
Speaker 1: just over eighteen million dollars. The Joker sequel Joker foley
Speaker 1: An d'eux only took in seven million dollars in its
Speaker 1: second weekend. It falls to third place. The wild Robot
Speaker 1: I still haven't seen that was in second place for
Speaker 1: the second week in a row. Forty nine year old
Speaker 1: man from Las Vegas has been arrested after weapons and
Speaker 1: fake passports were discovered in his unregistered car with fake
Speaker 1: license plates at a checkpoint outside former President Trump's rally
Speaker 1: in Coachella on Saturday. The man said he's a Trump
Speaker 1: supporter and has no intention of hurting President Trump or
Speaker 1: former President Trump. He was released on bail. He'll be
Speaker 1: facing charges, but those won't come up until January. The
Speaker 1: US Coast Guard is watching the waters off the coast
Speaker 1: of la because of a black substance in the world.
Speaker 1: The Coast Guard says it checked it out and it
Speaker 1: is soot, but officials don't know where it's coming from.
Speaker 1: This year's Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences has been awarded
Speaker 1: to three US based economists.
Speaker 4: I'm going to try this name.
Speaker 1: Darren Agimolu, Simon Johnson and James Robinson are going to
Speaker 1: share the award. It's given for helping to demonstrate how
Speaker 1: societal institutions that exploit people do not generate economic growth
Speaker 1: or positive change. That same seems to make sense. We're
Speaker 1: just minutes away from a handle. On the news this morning,
Speaker 1: FEMA has paused activities in North Carolina out of an
Speaker 1: abundance of caution. We were trying to connect and did
Speaker 1: we connect. We did not connect. Okay, So we're trying
Speaker 1: to connect with somebody because from the California Memorial Space
Speaker 1: Center because who knew we had another shuttle. We know
Speaker 1: about the Space Shuttle Endeavor. We've shared it. In fact,
Speaker 1: you can still go onto my Instagram at Amy K.
Speaker 1: King because we went and saw it when it was
Speaker 1: in flying position at the California Science Center, like right
Speaker 1: before they moved it. And now it's in its upright
Speaker 1: launch position and they're literally building the building around it
Speaker 1: for its final display, which is going to be really cool.
Speaker 1: But we have another shuttle in Los Angeles and I
Speaker 1: have no idea about this. So now let's say good
Speaker 1: morning to the president and executive director of the California
Speaker 1: Memorial Space Center, Ben Dickow. Good morning, Ben, Good morning,
Speaker 1: than We're doing great. Thanks so much for getting up
Speaker 1: early and talking to us on wake up call. We
Speaker 1: just found out about this last week. They said we
Speaker 1: got another shuttle and it's moving through the streets of
Speaker 1: LA And I was like, what, I didn't even know
Speaker 1: there was another one. So can you tell us about
Speaker 1: this before we talk about the journey? The shuttle inspiration?
Speaker 4: What is it? Where did it come from? Where has
Speaker 4: it been sure?
Speaker 15: So we're at the Columbia Mortgigs Space Center and we
Speaker 15: are in down in California on the site where all
Speaker 15: the Apollo spacecraft and all the space shovels were designed
Speaker 15: and built back in the day. And our space shuttle
Speaker 15: inspiration is the full scale one to one engineering mock up.
Speaker 15: This is the first space shuttle ever built in nineteen
Speaker 15: seventy two to figure out how do you build space
Speaker 15: shuttles to actually go in the space. And it's been
Speaker 15: on our site since it was built, you know, fifty
Speaker 15: years ago, and lately for the past fifteen years it's
Speaker 15: been in storage and we're bringing it out of storage
Speaker 15: to rehabit incut it on permanent.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 4: We have a space shuttle. It's in storage.
Speaker 15: I know, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, So I love this idea because we were
Speaker 1: just before you came on.
Speaker 4: We were talking about that.
Speaker 1: I've been to the California Science Center and seeing Endeavor
Speaker 1: and it's so so impressive and just to see that
Speaker 1: this is the one that it didn't actually fly, but
Speaker 1: it's the one that the space shuttles are all style
Speaker 1: after and modeled after. So now you have to get
Speaker 1: it to a place where people can see it. So
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about that. So you're going
Speaker 1: to parade it through the streets of LA this week.
Speaker 15: So it's going to go down the streets of the
Speaker 15: streets of Downey, but you know basically LA, which is
Speaker 15: that Downey is only about ten miles south of downtown
Speaker 15: Los Angeles. So yeah, we're moving it from that storage
Speaker 15: the public works yard, the storage place down the streets
Speaker 15: to a new temporary structure that we just built last week.
Speaker 15: It's about one hundred feet by two hundred and twelve feet.
Speaker 15: It's spatial tipping and it's going to go in that
Speaker 15: temporary structure and it's going to get a full rehabilitation.
Speaker 15: You know, we're going to assess it. It hasn't been
Speaker 15: on displayed for the public for, like E said, around
Speaker 15: fifteen years. So we're going to it needs a math,
Speaker 15: it needs you know, you might need a little TLC.
Speaker 15: And that's that starts in a you know, about a
Speaker 15: month or so once it's in the look in its
Speaker 15: temporary location, and then early next year we break around
Speaker 15: in a brand new building and that will be the permanent.
Speaker 11: Home for it.
Speaker 15: So it's going to get rehabbing the temporary structure for
Speaker 15: about a year year and a half. We have to
Speaker 15: have to line up the construction schedule and everything, and
Speaker 15: then we move it into its permanent location. Any exciting
Speaker 15: thing about this is that, because this shuttle is you know,
Speaker 15: an object of our museum of the Columbia Modian Space Center,
Speaker 15: we're going to be able to get people inside of
Speaker 15: our space shuttle once it goes on this way. Really, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's going to be cool because I've gone to
Speaker 1: see the endeavor and you get to look at it,
Speaker 1: but you know, you can't touch it, so you get
Speaker 1: to go inside it. That will be spectacular.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's going to be it's gonna be exciting.
Speaker 1: Okay, So the exciting thing we're gonna we'll plan to
Speaker 1: talk to you again as we get closer to us,
Speaker 1: so we can talk about the unveiling and maybe come
Speaker 1: down and see it.
Speaker 8: And yeah, that's definitely But for.
Speaker 1: Right now, the exciting thing is it's going to be
Speaker 1: traveling through the streets of Downy and so can people
Speaker 1: come out and watch it.
Speaker 15: Absolutely so. We will start to move around nine in
Speaker 15: the morning on Thursday, October seventeenth, just a few days away,
Speaker 15: and people can come and line the line the street
Speaker 15: and check it out as it goes down the streets.
Speaker 15: It's going down Belfall with Boulevard. We've got the street
Speaker 15: closed off between Imperial and Washburn. Those of you familiar
Speaker 15: with felthyas l A you'll know the location, but more
Speaker 15: precisely actually it's going down Balfour Boulevard from the corner
Speaker 15: of Steve horn Away and Washburn Boulevard. So if you
Speaker 15: can come out there check it out, watch it go
Speaker 15: down the street. We're going to do a little press
Speaker 15: conference closer to ten am and then and then it
Speaker 15: starts getting moved into its new building.
Speaker 4: Okay, so it's only going to take about an hour
Speaker 4: to move it.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's not We're not going all over the place.
Speaker 15: But you know what we are making. The biggest deal
Speaker 15: out of this is possible. It's going to be the
Speaker 15: most spectacular, you know, one hour move that anybody's ever seen.
Speaker 4: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: And where can people find out more information about the
Speaker 1: shuttle and about the about the California Memorials Space Museum
Speaker 1: and where do they go?
Speaker 15: Sure, the Columbia Memorial Space Center. And that's because where
