Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call
Speaker 1: with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: K FI and KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3: That a good goal to your Amy Kay.
Speaker 4: It's five o'clock.
Speaker 1: This is your wake up call for Monday, October seventh.
Speaker 4: I'm Amy King.
Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. So it was
Speaker 1: gonna be such a great day. By the way, I
Speaker 1: hope you had a great weekend. We're listening to Todd
Speaker 1: Light's voice right there. But unfortunately last night Todd Light
Speaker 1: was saying, ladies and gentlemen, please be advised if you
Speaker 1: throw objects onto the field, will be ejected. Dodger fans
Speaker 1: got a little out of control. Maybe they were a
Speaker 1: little grumpy. It's kind of a tough game, ouch. But
Speaker 1: Saturday night was so cool. We got to go to
Speaker 1: the first game on Saturday night Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 4: The crowd was out of control.
Speaker 1: It was just a sea of white and blue and
Speaker 1: you know, some ups brown two. But it was so
Speaker 1: much fun and very excited. We got to see Brad Pitt.
Speaker 1: You know what he is a He's just a fine specimen.
Speaker 1: He is adorable. So and some other people were there too,
Speaker 1: But the crowd was great, the game was great. We
Speaker 1: were so looking forward to last night and then yikes,
Speaker 1: but it's a good day for a producer and because
Speaker 1: she's a Padres fan, so game three is tomorrow night. Also,
Speaker 1: something that happened at the game that just always good
Speaker 1: to me because you know that if you go to
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium you can get nice, inexpensive seats, but everything
Speaker 1: at the stadium is pretty expensive.
Speaker 4: Like beer.
Speaker 1: Beer is like eighteen dollars for one of those big
Speaker 1: beers now, and that come in in the cans. I
Speaker 1: literally go to the cooler, pick out my beer myself,
Speaker 1: take it up to the counter, and hit the the
Speaker 1: pay button with my credit card, and they ask if
Speaker 1: I want to tip them. I'm like, for what, I
Speaker 1: pulled the beer out of the You didn't even go
Speaker 1: and reach into the cooler to get it for me.
Speaker 1: I don't like that tipping thing. I don't mind tips. Again,
Speaker 1: when you get great service, you should get great tips.
Speaker 1: But when there's no service, there's nothing required of you,
Speaker 1: it just makes me so grumpy. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you guys feel about that, but I just think tipping
Speaker 1: is getting out of control. Okay, onto bigger and better things,
Speaker 1: because we got a lot going on today.
Speaker 4: So here's what's ahead on wake up Call.
Speaker 1: One person has been arrested for spray painting Free Palestine
Speaker 1: on LAPD headquarters during the pro Palestinian rally and Pershing Square.
Speaker 1: About a thousand people called for the US to end
Speaker 1: its support of Israel at the rally yesterday. The Hamas
Speaker 1: run Gaza Health Ministry says more than forty one thousand
Speaker 1: Palestinians have been killed since the October seventh attacks on Israel.
Speaker 4: Of course, that was one year ago.
Speaker 1: Today, we're going to get the latest from Israel with
Speaker 1: ABC's Jordonna Miller coming up at five twenty. Elon Musk's
Speaker 1: SpaceX and t Mobile have been given the go ahead
Speaker 1: to enable Starlink satellites with direct to sell capabilities. The
Speaker 1: FCC says it allowed the move to provide coverage for
Speaker 1: cell phones and areas in North Carolina that have been
Speaker 1: devastated by Hurricane Helene. We're going to get the latest
Speaker 1: on Hurricane Helene relief efforts and what's coming next with
Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan.
Speaker 4: That's coming up in just a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Padres clauberd the Dodgers ten to two
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium following a big Dodgers win in Game one.
Speaker 4: The series is now tied at one game apiece.
Speaker 1: As action shifts to San Diego, it's National fire Prevention Week,
Speaker 1: so we're going to be talking smoke alarms and how
Speaker 1: to keep your family safe. Going to be good information
Speaker 1: that's coming up at right before the top of the hour.
Speaker 1: And also Governor Newsom has signed a law that target
Speaker 1: it's rat poisons that have been killing a lot more
Speaker 1: than rats. We're going to be talking about that coming
Speaker 1: up at the bottom of the hour. Let's get started
Speaker 1: with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
Speaker 1: twenty four hour newsroom. Events are being held in La
Speaker 1: to mark the one year anniversary of the attack on
Speaker 1: Israel by Hamas. Hundreds of people attended a ceremony and
Speaker 1: candbell lighting last night at the Museum of Tolerance. CEO
Speaker 1: Jim Burk says people from different religions were at.
Speaker 4: The service is.
Speaker 5: Really to celebrate the strength of our community, the fact
Speaker 5: that no matter what is thrown towards us, we will persevere.
Speaker 1: Events today include an Israeli flag in installation in Beverly
Speaker 1: Hills and a rally tonight at Grand Park in downtown
Speaker 1: La Air raid sirens rang out in Haipha last night
Speaker 1: as Hesbala launched rockets into Israel. At least when rocket
Speaker 1: hit a restaurant in a building in the port city
Speaker 1: of Haifa. It's not clear how many people were hurt.
Speaker 1: Israel intensified its attacks into northern Gaza and southern Lebanon
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Florida is getting ready for what's expected
Speaker 1: to be another major storm. Hurricane Milton became a Category
Speaker 1: three storm this morning in the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 4: It's headed toward Florida's west coast.
Speaker 1: FEMA administrator Dean Chriswell says the agency is ready, sending
Speaker 1: resources into the state and coordinating with local officials.
Speaker 3: We're working with.
Speaker 1: The stadiu C to understand what their requirements are going
Speaker 1: to be so we can have those in place before
Speaker 1: it makes landfall that's expected to happen Wednesday night. Chriswell
Speaker 1: also says claims that FEMA money has been diverted to
Speaker 1: help illegal immigrants are false. She says the claims are
Speaker 1: demoralizing aid workers and creating fear in people who need
Speaker 1: recovery assistance. FEMA has a pool of money just for
Speaker 1: natural disasters. House speaker Mike Johnson says it's true that
Speaker 1: FEMA has several separate funding pools, but he says he
Speaker 1: understands why Americans are frustrated. Johnson told Fox News yesterday
Speaker 1: that FEMA's mission is to help people in times of
Speaker 1: natural disaster, not be engaged in resettling illegal immigrants who
Speaker 1: come across the border. He says the government response to
Speaker 1: Hurricane Helene has been a failure. Secretary of Homelands Security
Speaker 1: Alejandro Mayorcis raised concerns last week when he said FEMA
Speaker 1: didn't have enough funding to make it through hurricane season,
Speaker 1: which typically ends in November. It's five oh eight on
Speaker 1: your Monday morning wake up call. Let's say good morning
Speaker 1: to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim, you've been covering Hurricane Helene,
Speaker 1: and hopefully the one consolation for the people who've had
Speaker 1: their houses absolutely destroyed is that the insurance is going
Speaker 1: to cover the losses.
Speaker 6: Or will it Well, probably not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's no good.
Speaker 6: No, it depends upon the kind of damage those people suffered,
Speaker 6: and of course Once Hurricane Helen came ashore there in
Speaker 6: the Florida Big Bend region, it began to weaken quickly,
Speaker 6: so it wasn't really a wind event by the time
Speaker 6: it reached the Carolinas up into Georgia and into Tennessee.
Speaker 6: It was a rain event, just a deluge of rent.
Speaker 6: And of course it had been raining there for some
Speaker 6: time anyway, and that's why we had so much flooding
Speaker 6: there that unfortunately, people in western North Carolina don't have
Speaker 6: floodings surance state, don't even think about it. I saw
Speaker 6: someone quoted yesterday somebody in North Carolina saying, you know,
Speaker 6: the people of western North Carolina expect flooding the way
Speaker 6: that people of Florida expect a bliget. It just doesn't happen.
Speaker 6: The thinking is that something like only two point five
Speaker 6: percent of homeowners in that part of the country have
Speaker 6: flood insurance from the National Flood Insurance Program. The national
Speaker 6: average is only four percent. Then, of course, more and
Speaker 6: more people are moving forward the shoreline and exposing themselves
Speaker 6: to the kind of risk that we're seeing right now
Speaker 6: with this really horrific hurricane season.
Speaker 4: Okay, so what do they do?
Speaker 6: Well? Unfortunately, they eat the loss, or they pack up
Speaker 6: and move away. I know after Hurricane Katrina is something
Speaker 6: like forty percent of the population never came back. People
Speaker 6: just moved away and didn't return. And you know, still
Speaker 6: trying to rebuild from that hurricane in Orleans after Katrina
Speaker 6: twenty five, twenty and so this is going to be
Speaker 6: a long recovery process. And unfortunately a lot of people,
Speaker 6: if they didn't have insurance, they won't be able to rebuild,
Speaker 6: at least not where they were.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've been watching and seeing a lot of
Speaker 1: the interviews with the people.
Speaker 4: The one good thing is that there are the helpers.
Speaker 1: You know, the communities are coming together and they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: there's like a guy who owns a restaurant and he goes,
Speaker 1: we're just getting cooks and dishwashers and stuff who are
Speaker 1: just sitting there because they don't have anything to do,
Speaker 1: and saying, let's feed people. And so they're coming together
Speaker 1: and then they're hanging out water and they're helping. They're saying,
Speaker 1: we're not waiting, we're trying to put our lives back together.
Speaker 1: But like you said, it's not like it's an affluent
Speaker 1: area either.
Speaker 6: No, it isn't you know, Ashville, there's probably the wealthiest
Speaker 6: of that area out there, and you're right, it's not
Speaker 6: the richest part of the country. At Appalachia's have some
Speaker 6: of the lowest income rates in the entire nation. And
Speaker 6: of course now we're watching this news storm. Just got
Speaker 6: to note a couple of minutes ago, Milton isn't even stronger.
Speaker 6: Category three hurricane wins one hundred and twenty five miles
Speaker 6: per hour, and it still has seven hundred miles to
Speaker 6: go across the Gulf of Mexico to get to Tampa,
Speaker 6: where it's anticipated landfall will happened Wednesday night. That's a
Speaker 6: lot of strengthening that it's going to undergo over the
Speaker 6: next two days.
Speaker 1: How are they getting so strong so fast? What fuels
Speaker 1: these storms like this.
Speaker 6: The Gulf of Mexico and it's extremely warm right now.
Speaker 6: That warm water creates the perfect environment. It's like jet
Speaker 6: fuel for these storms, and so as they whirl around
Speaker 6: out there. This one, it came out of the Caribbean
Speaker 6: just two days ago and now has exploded into this
Speaker 6: horrific Category three storm with the chance or even the
Speaker 6: likelihood of strengthening even more. So, you know that we
Speaker 6: focus so much on western North Carolina and after Hurricane Helene.
Speaker 6: But remember that as Helene was making its way north
Speaker 6: through the Gulf, it was tearing up and creating storm
Speaker 6: surge along the western to Florida. So they're still dealing
Speaker 6: with that situation in Tampa and now this Milton, the
Speaker 6: storm called Milton, is headed directly toward them.
Speaker 4: Is it going to hit the same place.
Speaker 6: Well, it's gonna hit the it's gonna hit the Tampa area.
Speaker 6: It's not going to move up toward the big band
Speaker 6: area where the land. Yeah, okay, But so it's a
Speaker 6: give and take because the big band area where Helene
Speaker 6: came ashore is not as heavily populated as Tampa is,
Speaker 6: of course, and Tampa did have storm surge damage from Ellen.
Speaker 6: And now this this new Hurricane Milton, I mean it's
Speaker 6: got it's later be directly on Tampa Bay.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And this one is scary too, because a lot of
Speaker 1: times when those storms are forming and they're moving around,
Speaker 1: they're like, well, it might not hit, it might change tech.
Speaker 4: And this one looks like it's just taken aim at Florida.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it really does. And again, I mean it's got
Speaker 6: a couple of days to do what it's going to do.
Speaker 6: But all indications right now the steering currents and the
Speaker 6: patterns have it moving directly out toward the Florida Panhandle.
Speaker 1: All right, well, we'll be watching it. Thank you so much,
Speaker 1: Jim Ryan, and appreciate it so yamy. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get back to some of the stories coming out of
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A shakey wake up
Speaker 1: for Ontario residents as a four point zero quake rumbled
Speaker 1: through the area three point fifty one a m.
Speaker 4: Yesterday.
Speaker 1: The US Geological Survey says a shaking could be felt
Speaker 1: as far away as La Culver City and Santa Monica.
Speaker 1: At least two small aftershocks rattled the same area. I
Speaker 1: didn't feel a thing. A Santa Monica police officer stabbed
Speaker 1: outside the station has been sent home from the hospital.
Speaker 1: The officer was getting information about a crime on Saturday
Speaker 1: afternoon when a man walked up and confronted him. Police
Speaker 1: say the officer told the man he just needed to wait,
Speaker 1: and that's when he pulled out a knife and attacked
Speaker 1: the officer. Officials say the guy kept slashing and stabbing
Speaker 1: the officer, who tried to get away. That's when the
Speaker 1: shooting happened. The man with the knife was killed. A
Speaker 1: man suspected of starting a brushfire in Lake Forest has
Speaker 1: been arrested. The Orange County Fire Authority says the fire
Speaker 1: yesterday was in the area of Portolo and Rancho Parkways
Speaker 1: crews were able to keep it under three acres. A
Speaker 1: suspected arsonist in Palmdale's been arrested after he barricaded himself
Speaker 1: inside an apartment. The guy allegedly set a neighbor's car
Speaker 1: on fire Saturday night and tried to set another car
Speaker 1: on fire early yesterday. La County Sheriff's deputies were called
Speaker 1: when the man returned home a few hours later. The
Speaker 1: standoff ended at about eleven last night. Democratic vice presidential
Speaker 1: candidate Tim Walls will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight.
Speaker 1: The Minnesota governor started a three day, three day West
Speaker 1: Coast campaign swing, with fundraising receptions in San Diego and
Speaker 1: Montecito yesterday. It'll be in Seattle and Sacramento tomorrow. A
Speaker 1: restaurant in Silver Lake is a step closer to being
Speaker 1: named an historical cultural monument in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: Astro Family restaurant has operated on Fletcher Drive for fifty years,
Speaker 2: but its building dates to nineteen fifty eight. LA Cultural
Speaker 2: Heritage Commission Chairman Barry Malofsky says the Googie style building,
Speaker 2: with its sharp angled walls and roof and nearly original interior,
Speaker 2: belongs on the list.
Speaker 1: I think it's important as a landmark in Silver Lake
Speaker 1: and as an example of a Googie style in the city.
Speaker 2: It's The Commission approved Astro's nomination in July, and the
Speaker 2: City Council's Planning Committee gave the oka last week. The
Speaker 2: full city Council will vote on the landmark status tomorrow.
Speaker 2: In downtown La, Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 4: I love that restaurant. It's such a cute little dive diner,
Speaker 4: so fun. I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it, and it deserves that recognition. It's actually
Speaker 1: very cool.
Speaker 4: It's one of an old diner.
Speaker 1: Obviously, it's been there for forever, and they have pictures
Speaker 1: of La from like one hundred years ago, when the
Speaker 1: hills that are now covered with houses were just hills.
Speaker 4: It's so weird to see, but very cool to take
Speaker 4: the look back.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you realize this, but Mondays can
Speaker 1: literally wreck your weekend.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people who actually dread Mondays.
Speaker 1: There's a new pullout that finds the average American experiences
Speaker 1: what they call the Sunday Scaries thirty six times a year,
Speaker 1: so a majority of Sundays people get the Sunday Scaries.
Speaker 1: They did a survey of two thousand adults and found
Speaker 1: that people feel anxiety or dread over what to expect
Speaker 1: over the following week. They say that their Sundays are
Speaker 1: harder to enjoy because of the thought of the new
Speaker 1: work or school week. There's stress about what they need
Speaker 1: to get done during the week, what they need to
Speaker 1: get done before the week starts, and uncertainty about how
Speaker 1: the week will go. And when does this dread set in.
Speaker 1: You might be familiar with it three point fifty four
Speaker 1: pm on Sunday afternoons. So next Sunday, when you start
Speaker 1: to feel anxious, just know it's the Sunday Scaries and
Speaker 1: you're going to be just fine. The fire that started
Speaker 1: in Tribuco Canyon a month ago and burned more than
Speaker 1: twenty three and a half thousand acres in Orange and
Speaker 1: Riverside Counties that destroyed more than one hundred homes is
Speaker 1: now one hundred percent surrounded. Ah Finally, full containment was
Speaker 1: declared late Saturday night. The fire in the San Bernardino
Speaker 1: Mountains is eighty percent surrounded. There are still some evacuation
Speaker 1: orders and warnings in place. The fire in the San
Speaker 1: Gabriel Mountains is at ninety nine percent containment and could
Speaker 1: be fully contained by today.
Speaker 4: Both former President Trump and.
Speaker 1: Vice President Harris are set to speak today on the
Speaker 1: one year anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel.
Speaker 4: Harris is in DC.
Speaker 1: She's going to be planning a memorial tree on the
Speaker 1: grounds of the Vice President's house. Trump is holding a
Speaker 1: remembrance at his golf course in Florida, and President Biden
Speaker 1: will also mark the anniversary with an event at the
Speaker 1: White House. Lebron's James and his son Brownie have made
Speaker 1: NBA history by becoming the first father son duo to
Speaker 1: play together. During the Lakers preseason game against Phoenix, the
Speaker 1: Lakers lost it one to eighteen one fourteen.
Speaker 4: Still ruling from Helene.
Speaker 1: Florida is now bracing for Milton, which is getting stronger.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jeordia A.
Speaker 4: Miller. Jordana.
Speaker 1: It's the one year anniversary and over the weekend hesbela
Speaker 1: fire of rockets into Israel, this time hitting something in Haipha.
Speaker 4: What was what happened there?
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was late last night. Has walafired on Haifa
Speaker 7: and Tiberius. A couple of people lightly injured, damaged a building,
Speaker 7: you know, not not a major hit, but remember every
Speaker 7: time his qualifiers, Israel will either shoot down the incoming
Speaker 7: missiles or drones, or if they're headed towards an unpopulated area,
Speaker 7: they will crash down. Sometimes they make it through the
Speaker 7: radar system, especially the drones. But it wasn't a major hit.
Speaker 7: The focus really today is on the one year anniversary
Speaker 7: of the war of October seventh, and I can tell
Speaker 7: you it's just such a somber mood here in Israe. Well,
Speaker 7: you know, how do you mark a war that's not finished,
Speaker 7: that is expanding, that still Hamas is holding ninety seven hostages.
Speaker 7: I mean it's an open wound really, and so it
Speaker 7: just feels like a lot of grief today and still
Speaker 7: anxiety about you know, what's coming, and you know, for
Speaker 7: me personally also, I feel that I'm reliving some of
Speaker 7: the shock of what happened on October seventh. As the
Speaker 7: day goes on and I remember what I was doing,
Speaker 7: and the clips that have now become kind of a conic,
Speaker 7: iconic or showing up again on all of all of
Speaker 7: these Reeli you know, TV programs and you're hearing stuff
Speaker 7: on the radio again, and it's it's like being right
Speaker 7: back there and.
Speaker 4: Pretty traumatic for everybody who's living there.
Speaker 7: It is, Yeah, it is. I mean, I think there's
Speaker 7: still a lot of trauma and is a lot of
Speaker 7: shocks still. First of all, that there could have been
Speaker 7: such a grave error and judgment about Hamas. I mean,
Speaker 7: now we can see the real difference between an enemy
Speaker 7: that Israel recognizes and plans meticulously to fight one day
Speaker 7: Allah Hsbalah the Northern Front, and we've seen Israel there
Speaker 7: take step after steps, strategic move moves based on intel.
Speaker 7: You know, they're on the offense and they are really
Speaker 7: hitting Hasbala hard versus what happened in the South when
Speaker 7: Israel got it all wrong and they didn't realize Hamas
Speaker 7: was a formidable enemy, that they had real intentions, that
Speaker 7: they had real capabilities, you know, rockets and a vast
Speaker 7: tunnel network and a smuggling network. Right, They just they
Speaker 7: missed the real threat coming from the south, and therefore
Speaker 7: they didn't track it, they didn't prepare for it, and
Speaker 7: they were caught completely off guard. And I think there's
Speaker 7: still a lot of shock about that. Even though the
Speaker 7: Israeli Army has really from that huge failure. They have
Speaker 7: really risen from the Ashes in a sense, and they've
Speaker 7: pummeled Hamas in the Gaza strip and they have the
Speaker 7: upper hand there on the battlefield, but they have not
Speaker 7: defeated Hamas yet. Right, there's still pockets of insurgents fighting.
Speaker 7: Hamas fired fifteen rockets today. They're trying to show they
Speaker 7: can still fire on Israel. You know, for the uninitiated,
Speaker 7: that sounds like a lot. But just as a reminder,
Speaker 7: Hamas fired over four thousand rockets on October seventh last year.
Speaker 7: Then they continued to fire hundreds of rockets every day
Speaker 7: for weeks. So today fifteen. It's not a lot, not
Speaker 7: not something to brag about.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: I watched that. Have you watched the documentary We Will
Speaker 4: Dance Again.
Speaker 7: I've read a lot about it and I have not
Speaker 7: watched it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it.
Speaker 1: Was very very I mean, it's so hard to watch,
Speaker 1: but very also horrifying and but informative as well. Like
Speaker 1: you're talking about the misses of the Israeli army. They
Speaker 1: they breached the fence between Gauza and Israel in sixty
Speaker 1: different places, and they had so I mean, think about it,
Speaker 1: and they had like you said, the rockets, like they
Speaker 1: were showing video of just these rockets just firing off.
Speaker 4: I'm like, where are they coming from? Where are they going?
Speaker 1: And the people who were at this Nova music festival
Speaker 1: were like, oh, maybe it's fireworks.
Speaker 4: Wait, that's not fireworks. And then they were like, I mean,
Speaker 4: it's just right.
Speaker 7: Or they were like right, or they thought, oh it's
Speaker 7: one or two. We're used to it, we're in the south.
Speaker 7: But yeah, right, it was. It was you know Israel. Actually,
Speaker 7: in the early months after the war started, the assessment
Speaker 7: was that Hamas broke through twenty five areas. Then it
Speaker 7: turns out the numbers were much higher. As you said,
Speaker 7: about sixty. They blew up and drove through and busted
Speaker 7: through sixty spots, and then the initial estimate was that
Speaker 7: about twenty twenty five hundred Hamas fighters terrorists came over.
Speaker 7: The number is actually over five thousand, right, and the
Speaker 7: rocket fire was much higher, right now, we know it
Speaker 7: was about forty three hundred by the end of October seventh, right, So,
Speaker 7: and they attacked about twenty five different Israeli communities and
Speaker 7: a few bases.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 7: So this was you know Hamas tried to say in
Speaker 7: the beginning, Oh, you know, there was some riff raff
Speaker 7: that came in and you know they did things we
Speaker 7: didn't plan, I mean the farther from the truth. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 7: And now you know, for me, especially also as a woman,
Speaker 7: you know, I've had a tough time dealing with the
Speaker 7: people who deny the rape and the sexual assault. And
Speaker 7: I can tell you today there was somebody who testified
Speaker 7: in Parliament today this morning. You know, the survivors of
Speaker 7: the Nova festival, since you were talking about we will
Speaker 7: dance again. The survivors from that festival and some of
Speaker 7: the hostages taken at the festival, they are the you know,
Speaker 7: the most moving witnesses and emotional witnesses of the rape.
Speaker 7: You know, this young woman today saying she heard women
Speaker 7: screaming no, no, no, no, and screaming and screaming for
Speaker 7: you know, what she said felt like an hour. Yeah,
Speaker 7: it was probably less time than that, but then she
Speaker 7: also heard then silence because they were shot and killed
Speaker 7: after they were raped.
Speaker 4: So horrific. So yeah, it's important that we market. I'm
Speaker 4: sorry that you have to like relive this.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's far away from for us, but not
Speaker 1: so far away when you think, you know, we just
Speaker 1: you never know what's being planned, and it's just horrific.
Speaker 4: It's just awful.
Speaker 1: So but we'll pray for peace and see what happens next.
Speaker 1: Jordanah Miller, thank you so much. I can't believe we've
Speaker 1: been talking about this for a year.
Speaker 4: Now, me either.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're going to continue to talk about it
Speaker 1: because it's important. Yeah, right, Thanks Jordana, We'll talk to
Speaker 1: you soon. With twenty nine days left until the election,
Speaker 1: ballots in California are being mailed out starting today. Voters
Speaker 1: can send ballots back in the postage paid return envelope
Speaker 1: or drop them off at a polling place. A list
Speaker 1: of locations will be included in the packet, along with instructions,
Speaker 1: and then an I voted sticker. Emirates Airline has banned
Speaker 1: walkie talkies and pagers on flights after hundreds of walkie
Speaker 1: talkies carried by Hesbela members exploded in Lebanon. The Dubai
Speaker 1: based airline has also canceled flights to and from Beirut
Speaker 1: until October fifteenth. Several other airlines have suspended flights to
Speaker 1: Beirut and other regional airports amid heightened tensions in the
Speaker 1: Middle East. On this one year anniversary of the Hamas attack,
Speaker 1: the first Monday in October marks the traditional start of
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court season. The justices are going to be
Speaker 1: reviewing several high profile cases this season, including whether the
Speaker 1: Biden administration can crack down on ghost guns, whether Tennessee
Speaker 1: can ban gender altering care for miners, and whether porn
Speaker 1: websites will be required to verify the ages of users.
Speaker 1: At six poh five, it is handle on the news
Speaker 1: Elon Musk to the Rescue. Starlink is linking up to
Speaker 1: help hurricane victims get connected again. Let's say good morning
Speaker 1: now to SO Jonathan Evans, who is the long title
Speaker 1: Environmental Health Legal Director and Senior Attorney for the Center
Speaker 1: for Biological Diversity.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Jonathan, Good morning.
Speaker 7: SO.
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom has signed a first in the nation law
Speaker 1: that restricts the use of blood thinning rat poison. So
Speaker 1: before we talked about how the law is going to
Speaker 1: work moving forward, I want to back up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Can you tell us how long these rat poisons have
Speaker 1: been around, what they do, and why the band because
Speaker 1: they do actually kill rats.
Speaker 3: They do kill rats, but they also unintentionally kill a
Speaker 3: lot of other things, a lot of upper level predators
Speaker 3: that are higher in the foy chain to eat these
Speaker 3: rats and mice, and these products have been on the
Speaker 3: market in California and throughout the US for decades. Most
Speaker 3: people don't realize that when they have a rodent problem
Speaker 3: and go to the store to buy a rat poison
Speaker 3: or call an extermator to use rat poison, so it
Speaker 3: can have a horrible effect on wildlife and even pose
Speaker 3: a risk to their pets and family. That's because, as
Speaker 3: we talked about, these rat poisons don't just harm rodents,
Speaker 3: they can actually unintentionally poison other living things to consume
Speaker 3: the poison or the poison rodents, and this issue is widespread,
Speaker 3: from bald eagles and barnels to black bears and bobcats.
Speaker 3: Redenticides are poisoning and killing wildlife. So restrictions on these
Speaker 3: blood fitting rat poisons, also known as anti coagulant predenticides,
Speaker 3: help prevent slow, painful poisonings that literally cause animals to
Speaker 3: bleed to death from the inside out and also lead
Speaker 3: to other host of issues like disease and organ failure.
Speaker 3: Wildlife just becomes so sick that they are unable to
Speaker 3: find the food or other predators or to avoid predators,
Speaker 3: and these blood fitting rat poisons are one of the
Speaker 3: main factors that are driving mountain lions in southern California
Speaker 3: to extinction. And we all remember the iconic Griffith Park
Speaker 3: mountain line p. Twenty two that was exposed to redenticide
Speaker 3: that contributed to mange, leading to ill health and eventual death.
Speaker 3: And data from the California Department of Fishing, Wildlife and
Speaker 3: Research specialists have found that over ninety five percent of
Speaker 3: mountain lions that are tested in California have been exposed
Speaker 3: to these anacauaigon ormergenticides. So it's crucial to get them
Speaker 3: out of a food chain. And the Poison Free Wildlife Act,
Speaker 3: which is what Governor Newsom signed, is now the third
Speaker 3: bill that we at the Center for Biological Diversity of
Speaker 3: work to pass in the past four years that past
Speaker 3: four years. That places restrictions on all of the bloodbending
Speaker 3: rat poisons in California. So we really are doing taking
Speaker 3: great steps to get these off the market from consumers
Speaker 3: and residential uses. There are exceptions for agriculture and public health,
Speaker 3: but we really takes it. It goes a long way
Speaker 3: to get the mopic store shelves for consumers.
Speaker 1: Okay, So Jonathan, I want to just dig a little
Speaker 1: deeper on that so that it's not Mountain lions aren't
Speaker 1: eating rats right.
Speaker 3: Now mountainin span, but they also will eat coyotes, and
Speaker 3: the coyotes will eat the rats and the mice they
Speaker 3: can eat bobcats. Bobcats are widely exposed at the same
Speaker 3: level as mountain lions. But these things bio accumulate as
Speaker 3: they get in the food chain and they become even
Speaker 3: more powerful. So some of these products they're called one
Speaker 3: feet killed blood center. So essentially the rat or mouth
Speaker 3: will go back and eat it once, and they only
Speaker 3: need to eat it once in order to get to
Speaker 3: a lethal dose. But because they're slow acting, the rats
Speaker 3: and mice go back over a couple of days and
Speaker 3: eat more and more and they become you know, these
Speaker 3: super toxic organisms and they essentially just get way up
Speaker 3: in the food chain. So yeah, it's not typically the
Speaker 3: prime the bobcats in the mountain lions aren't eating the
Speaker 3: rat poison themselves, but that leaves the rats and the
Speaker 3: mice that do that then give.
Speaker 6: Up in the food chain.
Speaker 1: Okay, is there a different kind of poison that could
Speaker 1: be used instead of this anti coagulant.
Speaker 3: There are a range of other red enticides that are
Speaker 3: that are neurotoxins or other types of lethal poisons. But
Speaker 3: you know, we really discourage people from using rat poisons
Speaker 3: because there's no reason to leave some of these poisons
Speaker 3: on the market when there are safe, cost effective options
Speaker 3: that are ready to readily available that don't kill wildlife
Speaker 3: or other effective ways.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Oh, I was just going to say, let's
Speaker 4: talk about those, because of course killing the rat.
Speaker 1: Rats are a huge problem or they can become I
Speaker 1: mean they you know, they spread the plague, right, so
Speaker 1: we can't poison them, But how are we going to
Speaker 1: keep the rats from taking over?
Speaker 3: Because yeah, the rats and mice can be a substantial
Speaker 3: public health threat, and there are a range of effective
Speaker 3: ways to manage road infestations that don't involve toxic rat poisons.
Speaker 3: So among the most important are exclusion and sanitation. There
Speaker 3: are other fertility controls and a variety of the old
Speaker 3: standard rat you know snap traps or electric traps that
Speaker 3: work very effectively. Rats and mice are in your home
Speaker 3: because there are gaps in the in the structure. They're
Speaker 3: coming in for food and water. If you're able to
Speaker 3: steal them out, then you're able to get rid of
Speaker 3: a lot of that public health threat. So calling road
Speaker 3: and exclusion specialists and pest control specialists who can provide
Speaker 3: screening and seal up those gaps is absolutely critical. Getting
Speaker 3: rid of dog food that you're leading outside or water
Speaker 3: that's drawing the mice and rats, and it's crucial good
Speaker 3: that they're if you're leaving your garbage can open, they're
Speaker 3: going to come every night. So you can't you can't
Speaker 3: poison your way out of that problem. So killing rodents
Speaker 3: that end up poisoning wildlife with poisons actually runs contrary
Speaker 3: to to solving the problem. If we use these poisons,
Speaker 3: we poison the very best solutions to road control, which
Speaker 3: are wildlife okay, And.
Speaker 1: Then when you look at the whole circle of life thing,
Speaker 1: I mean that even rats are and mice are part
Speaker 1: of the food chain, so other predators do need them
Speaker 1: for food.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and when you when you have these natural predators eating,
Speaker 3: you know, bobcats, and when you have the coyrites and
Speaker 3: everything out there in the wild areas of the hills
Speaker 3: of southern California, you don't really see these high rodent populations.
Speaker 3: So they're really the wildlife are doing their job. It's
Speaker 3: where we're really feeding them in the natural urban areas
Speaker 3: where we're not really being sanitary and we're not excluding
Speaker 3: And now is where it.
Speaker 4: Becomes a problem, see humans just cause all kinds of problems.
Speaker 1: When does the band go into affect, Jonathan, is it now?
Speaker 3: It goes into effect in January first, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 3: But some of the restrictions on other anti cowaigulants are
Speaker 3: already in effect. So this final Build a Poison three
Speaker 3: Wildlife Act will create restrictions now on all the rap
Speaker 3: bloodting wrap poisons in California, and we hope that the
Speaker 3: data really shows that it can have a dramatic effect
Speaker 3: in protecting California's wildlife in the future.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 1: We want healthy animal populations and if people want to
Speaker 1: get more information about this or other ways that they
Speaker 1: can safely protect their homes against the rats getting in
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing.
Speaker 4: Is there a place to go?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there a website Safe Roadentcontrol dot org has a
Speaker 3: good information on resources and what to use. Also, Raptors
Speaker 3: are the Solution is one of our partners and sponsors
Speaker 3: on the bill and they have a host of different
Speaker 3: solutions on raptors so dot org that will help you
Speaker 3: find a safer protections for rodents in your home and
Speaker 3: your oards.
Speaker 4: I like the idea of the raptors.
Speaker 1: Okay, Jonathan Evans, thank you so much for the information
Speaker 1: and this helps us understand this a lot better. And
Speaker 1: I know that, like you said, we need a healthy
Speaker 1: animal population and we hated to see what happened to
Speaker 1: p twenty two and hopefully we can stop some of
Speaker 1: that from happening in the future.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, thank you very much.
Speaker 4: All Right, thank you.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. Drivers in two
Speaker 1: cities in the Inland Empire have been ranked as some
Speaker 1: of the worst in America.
Speaker 8: That's according to Consumer Affairs Now. The report looked at
Speaker 8: the latest available information from the US Department of Transportation
Speaker 8: and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That data compared
Speaker 8: the rates of crashes with factors such as bad driving,
Speaker 8: DUI citations, and speeding. Victorville scored sixty four that ranked
Speaker 8: them the second worst drivers in the country. The report
Speaker 8: says that it's in part due to the high number
Speaker 8: of traffic deaths involving alcohol. Sam Bernardino placed fourth. The
Speaker 8: report says that city had the highest rate of fatalities
Speaker 8: involving duys. Andrew Caravella KFI News.
Speaker 1: The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded
Speaker 1: to Americans Victor Ambrose and Gary Rufkin for their discovery
Speaker 1: of micro rna. That's tiny pieces of genetic material that
Speaker 1: can alter how genes work at the cellular level and
Speaker 1: could lead to new ways to treat cancer. Joker Fully

Speaker 1: we're minutes away from handle on the news this morning,
Speaker 1: Scots back in action. It's the verse Monday in October.
Speaker 1: What's on the docket this Supreme Court season? Right now,
Speaker 1: let's say good morning to the National Fire Protection Association's
Speaker 1: Susan McKelvie.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Susan, Good morning, so Susan.
Speaker 1: Every year we have stories about house fires that tragically
Speaker 1: end up taking lives, and many times, after the flames
Speaker 1: are out and the investigation is done, we find out
Speaker 1: that there were no smoking there were no working smoke
Speaker 1: detectors in the home, which brings us to this week,
Speaker 1: which is National Fire Prevention Week.
Speaker 5: That's right, you hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: We know that the majority of home fire deaths in
Speaker 5: the US occur in homes where there are no alarms
Speaker 5: or no working alarms, and those are tragic losses, especially
Speaker 5: because we know smoke alarms are so effective at a
Speaker 5: people in time to fire and getting out safely, which
Speaker 5: is why we're really pushing for this year's campaign a
Speaker 5: focus on smoke alarms, the importance that they're playing your
Speaker 5: safety at home, and what you can do to make
Speaker 5: sure that they're working properly.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, it seems like everyone should know all of
Speaker 1: this by now, but it's apparent that that's not the case.
Speaker 1: So we're going to go over the basics. So it's
Speaker 1: a refresher course for all of us. First of all,
Speaker 1: how many smoke detectors should we have in our homes?
Speaker 4: Where should they be?
Speaker 5: So you should have at least one alarm on every
Speaker 5: level of your home. You also want one in each bedroom.
Speaker 5: Sometimes people aren't aware of that that you definitely want
Speaker 5: an alarm in each bedroom and near all sleeping areas.
Speaker 4: Okay, and.
Speaker 1: I know that in my apartment there is a smoke
Speaker 1: detector that is out of my reach.
Speaker 4: It's up on a ceiling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so, and I know that you had said
Speaker 1: that you should test them on a regular basis.
Speaker 4: What if you can't reach it, you just.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So a couple a couple of things you can do. One,
Speaker 5: if you have a ladder, than great. You want to
Speaker 5: use it safely, but you could use the ladder. The
Speaker 5: other thing is you can find something like a broomstick,
Speaker 5: or if they're really high feelings, it might not work,
Speaker 5: but if you have it, maybe like the a spoon,
Speaker 5: like a mixing spoon, you use the stick end of
Speaker 5: the spoon to test it. But anything that can really
Speaker 5: just reach the test button, they're pretty easy to test
Speaker 5: that way, so that's probably your best bet. But you
Speaker 5: do need to find a way to make sure that
Speaker 5: you are testing them regularly and that they are working okay.
Speaker 1: And then we're coming up on daylight or the end
Speaker 1: of daylight saving time, and we always do that reminder
Speaker 1: check your or change your clocks and change your batteries.
Speaker 4: That's still in effect, so.
Speaker 5: It's interesting so that traditionally that was always the message,
Speaker 5: but things have shifted a little bit now. So some
Speaker 5: alarms still use traditional batteries and then you can certainly
Speaker 5: change the battery once a year, but a lot of
Speaker 5: newer alarms use tenure battery, so it's not necessary to
Speaker 5: replace them that way. So now the rule of someb
Speaker 5: is listen for the alarm chirping. It's one chirp every
Speaker 5: thirty to sixty seconds, and that signals that the alarm
Speaker 5: of the battery rather is running low, and that's the
Speaker 5: time to replace them.
Speaker 1: Susan, I have to tell you that in my experience,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have had this too,
Speaker 1: that chirping already starts at about one o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 5: It never fails.
Speaker 1: Everybody in this in our room is nodding right now
Speaker 1: because that's that's when it starts. So once the chirping starts,
Speaker 1: is there a way to stop it until you can
Speaker 1: replace the battery if it does go off in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night, or do you just need to
Speaker 1: suck it up and get up and change the battery
Speaker 1: in the middle of.
Speaker 5: The bat well, it won't stop you know what. They
Speaker 5: won't stop it until you take them out and replace them.
Speaker 3: So that's your best bet.
Speaker 5: And really, you know, knowing the risks that are presented
Speaker 5: when you don't replace them promptly, and.
Speaker 1: It's easy to just say I'll.
Speaker 5: Do it in the morning, and then the morning just
Speaker 5: buy them a know, a week or two just by
Speaker 5: and you just don't want that to happen, so you know,
Speaker 5: get on top of it while it's chirping and driving
Speaker 5: you crazy. And it's doing that for a reason because
Speaker 5: they really want you getting a new battery, and they're
Speaker 5: making sure that the alarm is actually working and ready
Speaker 5: to protect you.
Speaker 1: Okay, And just we know that smoke alarms do we
Speaker 1: call them fire alarms now or do you still call them.
Speaker 5: The smoke alarms? Hire alarms are for larger systems, okay.
Speaker 1: And it's fire prevention week, so it's a good reminder
Speaker 1: that now's the time to make sure that your house
Speaker 1: and your home is safe against fire. And where can
Speaker 1: they get more information if they want to do like
Speaker 1: come together with a fire escape plan or something like that,
Speaker 1: where can they get more information?
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we have a website with a bunch of information.
Speaker 5: It's at FPW dot org. Lots of information on installing
Speaker 5: your alarms, properly testing them, maintaining them, along with a
Speaker 5: lot of information on developing home escape plans so that
Speaker 5: once you have your alarms in place, you're ready to
Speaker 5: go if in fact there is a fire in your home.
Speaker 5: The escape planning is the other essential part of staying
Speaker 5: safe from firing your.
Speaker 1: Home and Fire Prevention Week is a great time to
Speaker 1: do that planning.
Speaker 4: Susan mclby or McKelvey, thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 4: Appreciate it, you bet, thanks so much. All right, have
Speaker 4: a great day.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Six people have
Speaker 1: been arrested in connection with a flash mob style robbery
Speaker 1: at Westfield to Panga Mall in Canoga Park. Two of
Speaker 1: those busted are teenagers. Dozens of people in masks and
Speaker 1: hoodies hit the stores on Friday afternoon and stole more
Speaker 1: than ninety thousand dollars worth of stuff in just a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes. Five of the people arrested were in
Speaker 1: a car spotted in La hours after the theft. The
Speaker 1: sixth person was caught while driving in Huntington Beach. Please
Speaker 1: say they found stolen things in the woman's car. Milton
Speaker 1: has become a Category three hurricane in the Gulf of
Speaker 1: Mexico as it heads toward Florida's west coast.
Speaker 8: You're not going to be able to be told with
Speaker 8: one hundred degree certainty where this storm is going to go.
Speaker 1: Governor Ron de Santis has put his state's Gulf coast
Speaker 1: under a storm surge watch. The storm's expected to make
Speaker 1: landfall around Tampa Bay on Wednesday night. DeSantis says Cruz
Speaker 1: have been working around the clock removed debris from Hurricane
Speaker 1: Helene in vulnerable areas. He says, ambulances are ready to
Speaker 1: assist healthcare facilities, and officials are coordinating flood protection systems
Speaker 1: for critical infrastructure throughout counties like Hillsboro and Manatee. Three
Speaker 1: more California Tasks forces have been activated to assist with
Speaker 1: Hurricane Milton. About some of the one hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: two Search and Rescue members have already been based there
Speaker 1: along the North Carolina and South Carolina areas to assist
Speaker 1: in areas that were ravaged by Hurricane Helen. And the
Speaker 1: teams are from La Orange County, riverside, San Diego, Oakland,
Speaker 1: and Sacramento. This is KFI and kost HD two Los Angeles,
