Speaker 1: I forgot my coffee. I've got it because they have
Speaker 1: a coffee maker here, but I usually bring it in
Speaker 1: with me. And then I also forgot my phone. And
Speaker 1: isn't it weird how we feel lost without our phones.
Speaker 1: I know it's fine. I've got a computer here, I've
Speaker 1: got phones here at the radio station, but I don't
Speaker 1: have my little security blanket. It'll be a good test.
Speaker 1: I'll be disconnected for like six more hours. Here's what's
Speaker 1: ahead on this very busy Friday morning wake up call.

Speaker 1: brothers say they were brutally abused and killed their parents
Speaker 1: in self defense. Vice President Kamala Harris has held a
Speaker 1: rally with an unlikely ally. Republican Liz Cheney joined Harris
Speaker 1: at a rally in Wisconsin yesterday, telling the crowd that
Speaker 1: former President Trump is a threat to democracy. We'll be
Speaker 1: talking more about this with ABC's Karen Travers in just
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. Also coming up on wake up
Speaker 1: call at the bottom of the hour. This could be
Speaker 1: the future of rest stops as more and more people
Speaker 1: make the move to electric vehicles and the future has arrived.
Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The union representing
Speaker 1: dock workers at East and Gulf Coast Ports has reached
Speaker 1: a deal to suspend its strike, not permanently, just till
Speaker 1: mid January. ABC's Elizabeth Shoolsey says it'll give both sides
Speaker 1: time to negotiate more.
Speaker 5: One thousand dock workers waft off the job for the
Speaker 5: first time in nearly fifty years, and since then we
Speaker 5: have seen fourteen vital ports all along the Eastern Gulf
Speaker 5: Coast at a virtual standstill.
Speaker 1: Dock workers were striking over pay and also the automation
Speaker 1: of tasks at thirty six ports stretching from Maine to Texas.
Speaker 1: The La County DA's office is reviewing the Menendez brother's
Speaker 1: case following new allegations of sexual abuse from their father.
Speaker 1: The story of the brothers in the infamous murder trial
Speaker 1: resurfaced in a Netflix mini series. One of the brother's lawyers,
Speaker 1: Mark Garrigos, says a letter's been submitted written by Eric
Speaker 1: Menendez before his parents were killed, and the letter described
Speaker 1: the abuse at the hands of his father, Jose and
Speaker 1: it was it's basically gut redshie. The brother is Robo
Speaker 1: sentenced to life in prison without parole. They have repeatedly
Speaker 1: appealed their convictions. The city of Norwalk has been formally
Speaker 1: penalized by Governor Newsom.
Speaker 6: The city's decision to maintain a moratorium on building new
Speaker 6: homeless shelters in Norwalk had already gotten the governor's attention,
Speaker 6: but yesterday Knwsom took action, taking away the city's eligibility
Speaker 6: to receive state funds to support housing and homelessness programs.
Speaker 6: It had previously accepted twenty nine million dollars. The governor
Speaker 6: says the city's moratorium is beyond cruel. He also says
Speaker 6: Norwalk is in violation of state law. Mayor Margarita Rios
Speaker 6: has said the city wants time to study the impact
Speaker 6: of homeless shelters on its community before allowing more to
Speaker 6: be built. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: A couple of homeowners in Monrovia say they've got a
Speaker 1: rather unusual squatter living under their house. Mark Chow says
Speaker 1: he and his partner were watching a scary movie on
Speaker 1: Wednesday night when they heard a noise in the basement.
Speaker 7: So we're like, okay, something's under there, So we kind
Speaker 7: of like tiptoed towards it a little bit, and then
Speaker 7: I could hear a little more scratching, and then we
Speaker 7: ran back inside the house.
Speaker 1: The sounds came from a two hundred and fifty pound
Speaker 1: black bear. Chow tells KTLA the bear was so big
Speaker 1: it could barely fit through the crawl space door. He says,
Speaker 1: it's squeezed its way out, destroying the window in the process.
Speaker 1: The window has been replaced so their squatter doesn't return.
Speaker 1: Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen,
Speaker 1: an unlikely alliance has emerged.
Speaker 8: Yes Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter Liz Cheney out on
Speaker 8: the campaign trail yesterday with Vice President Harris. Liz Cheney,
Speaker 8: of course, is a former Republican congresswoman. She was once
Speaker 8: the third highest ranking House Republican and she chaired the
Speaker 8: January sixth Committee. But I mean, she has an incredible
Speaker 8: Republican pedigree. She has said she was a Republican from
Speaker 8: when she was a little girl, and now she is
Speaker 8: voting for a Democrat, and she says she has never
Speaker 8: done that before, but she is proudly casting her vote
Speaker 8: for Vice President Harris because, as she put it, yesterday,
Speaker 8: our republic faces a threat unlike any we have faced before,
Speaker 8: a former president who attempted to stay in power by
Speaker 8: unraveling the foundations of our republic by refusing to accept
Speaker 8: the lawful results of the election. And yesterday in Michigan,
Speaker 8: so they're in Wisconsin with this campaign message. Yesterday in Michigan,
Speaker 8: Donald Trump was again saying he won the twenty twenty election,
Speaker 8: saying that it was rigged and he did in fact win.
Speaker 8: So just kind of feeding into the message that Kamala
Speaker 8: Harris and Liz Cheney were pushing out there in an
Speaker 8: appeal to Republicans or independent saying it's okay if you
Speaker 8: don't agree with the vice president on everything or anything,
Speaker 8: get on board because of this specific issue.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I heard part of what Kamala Harris said when she
Speaker 1: was talking about Liz Cheney, and she's like, we might
Speaker 1: not agree on much, we might not agree on anything,
Speaker 1: but let's still join forces.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I mean, I think if you lined up on paper
Speaker 8: like a list of issues and went through their positions
Speaker 8: on it, they're not going to match up. But you know,
Speaker 8: I think then it says a lot about how passionate
Speaker 8: Liz Cheney feels about this particular issue and this particular
Speaker 8: Republican candidate and what this means.
Speaker 1: To her right now.
Speaker 8: And you know, yesterday President, after he got back from Georgia,
Speaker 8: said that he watched some of her remarks on the
Speaker 8: plane back and called it one of the most consequential
Speaker 8: speeches he ever heard. He says, she has character and
Speaker 8: like her dad, and that while you know, these argued
Speaker 8: with their dad all the time, he said, he's always
Speaker 8: admired her courage and her honesty. Kind of a family thing,
Speaker 8: he said, and that that type of speech doesn't take
Speaker 8: just political courage, but physical courage to get out there
Speaker 8: and make such a strong statement.
Speaker 1: Like that, which is interesting again to say, because when
Speaker 1: you look at the unlikely bedfellows here, I mean, like
Speaker 1: the Democrats have called Dick Cheney like the new Satan
Speaker 1: or something like that. It got pretty nasty between.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I covered the two thousand and four
Speaker 8: campaign as a campaign embed, you know, back with the
Speaker 8: people that run around with the cameras and they're out there,
Speaker 8: and I spent about six months on Air Force two
Speaker 8: with Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney because she was like
Speaker 8: one of his top advisors then, and I think, you know,
Speaker 8: if you had said back in two thousand and four
Speaker 8: that this is where we would be right now, I mean,
Speaker 8: nobody would believe this, given what his views are were
Speaker 8: then and what Democrats a thought of him at that time.
Speaker 8: But that again just underscores how deep of a you know,
Speaker 8: opposition she has right now to Donald Trump, and how
Speaker 8: passionate she believes on this specific issue of the threat
Speaker 8: to democracy here has.
Speaker 1: Got a not another celebrity endorsement.
Speaker 8: Yeah, she did yesterday, not surprising, but Bruce Springsteen officially
Speaker 8: endorsed her campaign. You know, he's consistently supported Democrats before
Speaker 8: endorsing President Biden in twenty twenty. He's performed at campaign
Speaker 8: rallies for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and John Kerry.
Speaker 8: But I think it was notable to hear his message yesterday.
Speaker 8: It wasn't about the economy, It wasn't about you know,
Speaker 8: the new way forward and what she's going to do
Speaker 8: on a litany of policy issues. It was again about
Speaker 8: this democracy message. He says that Donald Trump is the
Speaker 8: most dangerous candidate for president in his lifetime, and he
Speaker 8: says he doesn't understand the meaning of this country, its
Speaker 8: history or what it means to be deeply American.
Speaker 1: Oh we'll see if that message dressed in next Thank
Speaker 1: you so much, Karen Trevors, have a wonderful weekend, you too, thinks.

Speaker 1: know it's a very busy time for you. Israel is
Speaker 1: telling more people in Lebanon to get out of their homes.
Speaker 10: That's right. Israel appears to be expanding its ground operation
Speaker 10: in southern Lebanon, moving from about a mile or a
Speaker 10: mile and a half from the border further north right,
Speaker 10: and Israel says the aim is to go in and
Speaker 10: basically fight, fight it out and remove the rod one fighters.
Speaker 10: That says, well as elite forces that are older weapons
Speaker 10: or any the area so that it no longer poses
Speaker 10: a threat to the Israelian communities in the north of
Speaker 10: the country.
Speaker 1: Okay, and are both sides still firing at each other.
Speaker 1: It's just it's a lot of back and forth. We're
Speaker 1: hearing that Lebanon kind of fired back at Israel for
Speaker 1: the first time.
Speaker 10: Well, Lebanon every day has been firing on Israel, right,
Speaker 10: they've been firing. Yesterday they fired about two hundred and
Speaker 10: thirty missiles and rockets and drones, and today I think
Speaker 10: the number is somewhere around one hundred already at about
Speaker 10: three twenty in the afternoon. So it is a continuous
Speaker 10: back and forth conflict. Hasbala is not letting up, the
Speaker 10: Israeli armies not letting up. Israel is firing into Beirut
Speaker 10: with more regularity. Now, yes, there was a targeted strike
Speaker 10: in the Husbala neighborhood of Beirut, and we've confirmed that
Speaker 10: the target is the replacement for Hassan Nasralla right, who
Speaker 10: has taken out the leader of Husbala. His first cousin,
Speaker 10: Hasham Salafstein, is supposed to take over. And apparently we're
Speaker 10: still waiting to hear from the Israli army if that
Speaker 10: targeted assassination was successful and Israel going after reapon depots
Speaker 10: even in Beirut or by the borders between Lebanon and Syria.
Speaker 10: So Israel appears to be you know, you know, as
Speaker 10: aggressive against Hasbala as we've seen the last you know,
Speaker 10: two weeks now running so.
Speaker 1: Jordana, Are are sirens just going off all the time
Speaker 1: as this the rockets are being launched back and forth?
Speaker 1: Or is it only when it's something like what happened
Speaker 1: earlier this week with Iran firing off the missiles around Israel?
Speaker 10: Right so here in Jerusalem the sirens aren't going off,
Speaker 10: but I can tell you that every day from early
Speaker 10: in the morning until late at night, the sirens are
Speaker 10: going off in northern Israel, that is in and around Haifa,
Speaker 10: the Galilee, the Golan Heights, Tiberius, those areas we're seeing
Speaker 10: the sirens go off, you know, every day, you know,
Speaker 10: maybe a dozen times a day. So it is up
Speaker 10: in the north of the country. It is for all
Speaker 10: intentsive purposes, there's another war there.
Speaker 1: And you mentioned that it's going near the Goal On Heights.
Speaker 1: And I'm remembering because I got to go to Israel
Speaker 1: a few years ago, and you know, we went to
Speaker 1: like holy sites. Are they hitting anything like that?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 10: Well, so any of the missiles, rockets or drones that
Speaker 10: are headed towards populated areas are shot down, okay, so
Speaker 10: and the ones that fall in open areas, they're setting
Speaker 10: fields on fire. They you know, ruined agricultural fields thousands
Speaker 10: and thousands of acres in the north, but they haven't
Speaker 10: really destroyed any holy sites, all right.
Speaker 1: And then with the one year anniversary of the October
Speaker 1: seventh massive her is just a few days away, what
Speaker 1: is going on in Gaza now? Because I know we've
Speaker 1: shifted focus, so we've been talking about the hes Balala
Speaker 1: Lebanon and the incursion into Lebanon and that kind of
Speaker 1: stuff for the past couple of weeks. But what's going
Speaker 1: on now in Gaza.
Speaker 10: Well, there's still some fighting going on in Gaza, and
Speaker 10: Israel still control the land, I mean Gaza and Egypt
Speaker 10: and Gaza and Israel to the east and to the north.
Speaker 10: And there's still thousands of troops on a corridor that
Speaker 10: splits the northern part of the Gaza sir from the
Speaker 10: southern part, and there's still troops in Rafa. There's still
Speaker 10: pockets of fighting against Hama's insurgents, and there's still over
Speaker 10: one hundred hostages being held by Hamas and we believe that,
Speaker 10: and the estimate, sadly is only of one hundred and
Speaker 10: maybe forty at best are still alive. So there's that's
Speaker 10: a situation in the Gaza strip Is. It's certainly less
Speaker 10: violent than a month ago because there's less combat, but
Speaker 10: nonetheless it's still a dangerous place and those Gazas whose
Speaker 10: fire talks are still on hold. In Israel, there's a
Speaker 10: lot of questions about whether Yaka Seymour is still alive,
Speaker 10: the head of Hamas, because no one has heard from
Speaker 10: him in weeks, but he has not been confirmed dead,
Speaker 10: and it's believed that you know, at least a dozen
Speaker 10: of those hostages that are alive are near him to
Speaker 10: protect him, because the Israelis will not kill him if
Speaker 10: there's live hostages around him.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, all right, Jordana Miller, thank you as always
Speaker 1: for the information. We look forward to our next conversation.
Speaker 1: Have a good weekend. Searchers are combing the remote mountains
Speaker 1: of North Carolina to try to find people missing and
Speaker 1: those who need supplies. A week after Hurricane Ane Helen
Speaker 1: made landfall in the southeastern US, the number of people
Speaker 1: dead has now topped two hundred and could go higher.
Speaker 1: Albertson's and Vond's have agreed to pay nearly four million
Speaker 1: dollars to settle a lawsuit brought by La County District
Speaker 1: Attorney George Gascone. The DA accused the grocery store chains
Speaker 1: of false advertising and unfair competition, claiming they charged customers
Speaker 1: more than their lowest advertised prices. Albertsons and Vonns operate
Speaker 1: nearly six hundred stores in California. The Dodgers and Padres
Speaker 1: kick off their National League Division series at Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. Yes, I'm wearing my Dodger blue today. It'll
Speaker 1: be the third time the teams have met in the
Speaker 1: NLDS in the past five season. The Dodgers won the
Speaker 1: series in twenty twenty two twenty twenty brother The Padres
Speaker 1: won the best of five series in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: First pitch Tomorrow night goes out at five thirty eight.
Speaker 1: At six o five, it's handle on the news. La
Speaker 1: County DA Gascon is taking another look at the convictions
Speaker 1: of the Menendez brothers who murdered their parents in Beverly
Speaker 1: Hills thirty five years ago. Add five point fifty dock
Speaker 1: workers are headed back to work. We'll be getting the
Speaker 1: latest from ABC's Jim Ryan. So I mentioned that I
Speaker 1: think the future is here, and here are a couple
Speaker 1: of examples of that. If you want to play the
Speaker 1: Jetson's music again, you can because I love it. So
Speaker 1: there is a neighborhood in a small town of Cortes, Florida,
Speaker 1: which was hit by the hurricane which came ashore last week.
Speaker 1: A storm search thank you and that's it. Storm Seurge
Speaker 1: filled the streets with waste deep water near the new development.
Speaker 1: The grid lost power, but the new homes stayed dry
Speaker 1: and the lights stayed on. So why because they built
Speaker 1: this neighborhood specifically to survive hurricanes. So they spent all
Speaker 1: this time tweaking designs and making them. And they basically
Speaker 1: look like three story houses, but the first floor is
Speaker 1: all concrete. It's made. The first floor is solid concrete.
Speaker 1: Inside the walls, the builders used two by six lumber
Speaker 1: instead of two by fours. They have steel straps connecting
Speaker 1: the floors together to keep them nice and strong. Gaps
Speaker 1: in anywhere are filled in with foam insulation to make
Speaker 1: it more waterproof, and then the roof is made of
Speaker 1: steel and it has raised vertical seams and then solar
Speaker 1: panels are connected to those seams, so when the heavy
Speaker 1: winds come in, the solar panels aren't ripped off. The
Speaker 1: batteries can still charge and they keep their power. So
Speaker 1: they apparently had this waste deep water, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: but they also configured the land around it so that
Speaker 1: it would drain. So they put in this elaborate drainage system,
Speaker 1: and all of these houses are fine and there's no damage,
Speaker 1: which you know, would it be the same in North
Speaker 1: Carolina that absolutely got devastated by it. But it could
Speaker 1: be the future of it. It's kind of like how
Speaker 1: we earthquake proof homes here. They're hurricane proofing homes there,
Speaker 1: and it seems to have worked in this instance. So
Speaker 1: that's one case of the future. And here's another. There's
Speaker 1: a new EV charging station in Santa Anna, and I
Speaker 1: got Nick here with us because Nick has an EV
Speaker 1: and this sounds pretty cool. It's got forty charging stations.
Speaker 2: Okay, that sounds incredible because it's always hard to find
Speaker 2: anything with like maybe more than eight if you're lucky, And.
Speaker 1: So we even went this. We went out to some
Speaker 1: wildlife preserve last year and we were running low, and
Speaker 1: so he's looking on his maps where's a charging station,
Speaker 1: and then we finally found one. And then we decided, well,
Speaker 1: we've got some time to kill because it takes a while,
Speaker 1: so we went to find a place that had like
Speaker 1: a restaurant if we found some hotel that had a
Speaker 1: charging station, and then like one of them didn't work,
Speaker 1: so we had to move. I mean, it was a
Speaker 1: pain in the butt, but we eventually got it done.
Speaker 1: So this could be very cool. So, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: it's got forty charging stations. It has it's called the
Speaker 1: Row of Charging Center. It's got restrooms, which is a
Speaker 1: good thing, and then you can also get something to
Speaker 1: eat or drink. It's basically a mini Gelson's.
Speaker 3: And okay, fancy right, and.
Speaker 1: It's got a lounge and there's also a restaurant restroom
Speaker 1: for if you're traveling with your pets. Because how long
Speaker 1: does it take to charge your car?
Speaker 3: It depends.
Speaker 2: So usually if I need so you an EV you
Speaker 2: usually charge to eighty percent because that helps you maintain
Speaker 2: the best battery life, and that for me takes about
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes. If I am all the way down
Speaker 2: to no battery twenty five minutes, but usually I can
Speaker 2: top off and it takes between ten and fifteen minutes,
Speaker 2: so as opposed to when you usually go and are
Speaker 2: filling up your gas tank where it only takes maybe
Speaker 2: five minutes seven minutes of the most, it takes me
Speaker 2: at least ten to fifteen minutes if I need to
Speaker 2: top off, okay.
Speaker 1: So if you need a full charge though, if you're
Speaker 1: like running.
Speaker 3: On twenty to twenty five minutes, yeah.
Speaker 1: Twenty to twenty five minutes, okay. And how much does
Speaker 1: it cost for me?
Speaker 2: Especially this whipe is an electrify America, which is kind
Speaker 2: of a deal that goes with EVS. Right now, it's free,
Speaker 2: but usually the cost is between five and eight dollars.
Speaker 1: Okay, So this one, it is going to be a
Speaker 1: charging they'll charge at the charging station, but it's.
Speaker 3: Okay, So there will be a cost.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's somewhere between forty five cents a killo
Speaker 1: whata hour and sixty five cents a kilowat hour depending
Speaker 1: on the time of day. And the average price in
Speaker 1: California is fifty per cents, so it's right there in
Speaker 1: line with that.
Speaker 2: And so that's really inexpensive in the scheme of things,
Speaker 2: and to have a Gelson's and have a nice bougie
Speaker 2: lounge for your pets.
Speaker 1: That's great, right, And so this the rove station is
Speaker 1: going to be opening October fifteenth. It's right off the
Speaker 1: five Freeway in Santa Ana. And then they're saying we're
Speaker 1: going to offer more of these, and I'm saying this
Speaker 1: is the future because like you said it, it doesn't
Speaker 1: take two minutes to charge up. It takes more like
Speaker 1: twenty or thirty minutes, depending on the charge.
Speaker 2: And it also looks like just I looked at it
Speaker 2: really quick, and it looks like it has solar panels,
Speaker 2: so they really covered, which will be even nicer so
Speaker 2: where you parked your car won't be in the sun.
Speaker 2: It also looks like at this specific charging station.
Speaker 1: Ah, so that's another thing that you'd think.
Speaker 3: So that's another part, right, that.
Speaker 1: You're just sitting out there and your car's baking while
Speaker 1: it's charging.
Speaker 3: That's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I recall I'm thinking that we're going to
Speaker 1: see more of these kinds of things because one, it's
Speaker 1: a revenue generator, so you can maybe get the private
Speaker 1: sector involved in it. And then I'm thinking of seeing
Speaker 1: these things like all along Eye five because you know
Speaker 1: the rest stops that we have, it's just toilets. But
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be nice if it was like a little
Speaker 1: place where you could have the pets. Then you could
Speaker 1: get something to eat or drink or somewhere to chill
Speaker 1: out while you're charging.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm on board all right. Well, and then
Speaker 1: once they get them open up, we might have to
Speaker 1: send you out to this place to check it out since.
Speaker 2: Or it could be out in about when we don't
Speaker 2: have a holiday season that it's already maybe out and
Speaker 2: about with any can go out to the road charging station.
Speaker 3: I like, thank you, Okay, we can use my car.
Speaker 1: We'll ride along in Nick's ev Thank you.
Speaker 3: Nick got it.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Pacific Air
Speaker 1: Show takes off today in Huntington Beach, with some planes
Speaker 1: landing on a special runway on the beach right by

Speaker 9: Pacific Air Show director Kevin Elliot says fans will see
Speaker 9: the Thunderbirds, the Microjet Para Commandos, and the Osprey demo, and.
Speaker 6: For the first time we're going to have the B

Speaker 9: on top of the world's only seven star hotel in Dubai.
Speaker 10: Hetty Paty is only like eighty seven feet and we
Speaker 10: are the first people in the war to land an
Speaker 10: airplane on a elevet.
Speaker 3: That's Hetty pat.

Speaker 6: and then almost one hundred miles an hour backwards.
Speaker 9: The show runs through Sunday at Lionair Museum in Santa Ana.
Speaker 9: Corbin Carson KFI News.
Speaker 1: If you haven't been out to the Pacific Air Show,
Speaker 1: it is fabulous. We went last year and it was
Speaker 1: just so so great. Twenty six members of the La
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Office have received the department's Medal of Valor.
Speaker 6: The ceremony in downtown La featured harrowing bodycam footage of
Speaker 6: what the Sheriff's office called heroic efforts by deputies. Suicides
Speaker 6: were stopped, people were pulled from burning buildings, and Detective
Speaker 6: Elliott Ribey was stabbed but still managed to lead deputies
Speaker 6: to a bad guy.
Speaker 10: I felt like it was like a punch.
Speaker 6: The Medals of Valor and Meritorious Conduct are considered to
Speaker 6: be the department's highest honors.
Speaker 3: In Downtown LA. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: Hurricane Helene has left so many roads unpassable on the
Speaker 1: East coast. Pack mules are being used to carry supplies
Speaker 1: in In North Carolina. Volunteer Amanda Schumacher is using mules
Speaker 1: to get insulin and other goods up mountains to families
Speaker 1: in need.
Speaker 11: Be able to put four or five mules in a row,
Speaker 11: you know, with one person leading them, you know they're
Speaker 11: able to carry one hundred and fifty pounds each to
Speaker 11: get supplies, which is more effective.
Speaker 1: The death toll from Helene is still going up, with
Speaker 1: at least two hundred and fifteen people killed across six states.
Speaker 1: So these scientists must have a really tiny microscope. They've
Speaker 1: mapped out the entire brain of a fruit fly. The
Speaker 1: neurobiological research, which is published in the journal Nature, shows
Speaker 1: more than fifty million connections in their little brains. Scientists
Speaker 1: say the mapping could prove provide insights into brains across
Speaker 1: the entire animal kingdom. The brain of a fruit fly
Speaker 1: is less than four hundredths of an inch wide. Two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four thousand jobs have been added around
Speaker 1: the US for September. That's up from the one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty nine thousand jobs added in August. The Labor
Speaker 1: Department just made the announcement. Also said the jobless rate
Speaker 1: also ticked down from four point two to four point
Speaker 1: one percent. A woman who used to work for country
Speaker 1: music star Garth Brooks has accused him of raping her
Speaker 1: on a work trip to la and then another time
Speaker 1: at his home in Tennessee. She is only identified as
Speaker 1: Jane Rowe. Brooks denies it and says the woman came
Speaker 1: up with the story after he refused to pay her
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. More eyes are going to be on
Speaker 1: you as you drive around the San Fernando Valley. About
Speaker 1: one hundred automated license plate readers are being installed in Chatsworth,
Speaker 1: Granada Hills, North Hills, Northridge, Porter Ranch, Sherwood Forest, and
Speaker 1: West Hills. Most of the cameras will be mounted on
Speaker 1: light poles. District twelve council member John Lee says they're
Speaker 1: going to be used to identify vehicles linked to crimes.
Speaker 1: We're just minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning,
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris had an unlikely ally on the campaign trial
Speaker 1: a trail rather and you can bet that Bill's going
Speaker 1: to have a thing or two to say about that.
Speaker 1: Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan.
Speaker 11: Jim.
Speaker 1: Dock workers are back on the docks today, but the
Speaker 1: deal's not done yet.
Speaker 12: It isn't and may not be done until January fifteenth,
Speaker 12: but at least there's a tentative agreement. You know, the
Speaker 12: strike lasted for three days. There was a lot of
Speaker 12: pressure on the two sides to try to get something
Speaker 12: worked out. The strike, in terms of long Shoreman's Association
Speaker 12: probably couldn't have come at a worse time, considering that
Speaker 12: so many people are suffering in the Carolinas. They need
Speaker 12: supplies in there, and so it's possible the International Longshoreman's
Speaker 12: Association wasn't getting the kind of public support that it
Speaker 12: was hoping for. So yesterday we learned of this agreement,
Speaker 12: a tentative agreement that is to carry the ISLA and
Speaker 12: the US Maritime Alliance the owner and operator of the
Speaker 12: ports until January fifteenth, and in the meantime, the dock
Speaker 12: workers will get a fifty percent wage increase to something
Speaker 12: like what is that sixty three dollars per hour that
Speaker 12: puts them in line with the West Coast dock workers.
Speaker 1: So wait what they haven't agreed to any terms yet,
Speaker 1: or they did agree to some pay terms.
Speaker 12: Call it a casual agreement. You know, it's the dock
Speaker 12: workers wanted seventy seven percent that kind of a pay increase.
Speaker 12: The USMX the port owners came back with a sixty
Speaker 12: two percent. I think I said fifty, but they came
Speaker 12: back yesterday with a sixty two percent increase. The two
Speaker 12: sides shook hands, and now the DOC workers are back
Speaker 12: on the job. One thing they didn't discuss, or one
Speaker 12: thing that's not part of this agreement, and.
Speaker 1: It's probably what I was just about to ask you
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 12: Yeah, automation, and it's still out there, and the workers
Speaker 12: want to see that taken out of the equation. You know.
Speaker 12: It's one thing to have have cranes and the forklifts
Speaker 12: out there working on the docks, but to have them
Speaker 12: controlled by robots or by AI, that's the one thing
Speaker 12: the DOC workers do not want. And it seems as
Speaker 12: though the USMX, the owners of the ports, that they're
Speaker 12: digging in.
Speaker 1: On that, which kind of makes sense. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: really if you just look at it, for me, it
Speaker 1: looks like it's a really tough position to be in
Speaker 1: because you can't stop progress, right, It's hard. You hate
Speaker 1: to see it when it affects jobs. But I mean,
Speaker 1: like we were, I was talking about this with a
Speaker 1: friend the other day and we were talking about the
Speaker 1: minimum wage increase for fast food workers here. Well, they
Speaker 1: got it passed. That's great, and a bunch of them
Speaker 1: are losing their jobs now because the fast food places
Speaker 1: are going more automated.
Speaker 12: Sure, so it's coming, you know, and it's been coming
Speaker 12: for some time. I remember the first time I walked
Speaker 12: into a radio station that was automated, like nineteen eighty four,
Speaker 12: and the station kind of ran itself. It had its
Speaker 12: own big machine that to put stuff on the air,
Speaker 12: and thought, well, there goes my career. Forty years later,
Speaker 12: everything's fine, you know, and still got a job.
Speaker 1: You're still here. Yeah, yeah, hip, Okay, So nobody's sharing
Speaker 1: about this. We're going to switch over to Hurricane Helen.
Speaker 1: It's been a week now, and the situation there is
Speaker 1: just I mean, it's just untenable.
Speaker 3: It's a horrible it really is.
Speaker 12: I mean, something like seven hundred thousand power out of
Speaker 12: just still across Florida, the Carolinas, Georgia, and up in
Speaker 12: Virginia as a result of Helene. Who knows how many
Speaker 12: people might still be cut off from the rest of
Speaker 12: the world because of how remote it is out there
Speaker 12: in the Black Hills, the Black Mountains of western North Carolina.
Speaker 1: I just did a story Jim about how they're using
Speaker 1: mules to get to people.
Speaker 12: Yes, if you're using any means possible to get supplies
Speaker 12: in their helicopters, mules, jeeps, any kind of vehicle or
Speaker 12: convenience to get things in there or to get people out,
Speaker 12: to get evacuees out of there. So that's going on
Speaker 12: for some time. Tragically, the number of dead has risen
Speaker 12: above two hundred now, which makes this the deadliest hurricane
Speaker 12: to hit the US mainland scence Katrina in two thousand
Speaker 12: and five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you were mentioning the other ways that they're
Speaker 1: getting help to people. I was watching a show yesterday
Speaker 1: and they had former NASCAR champion Greg Biff. Well, he's
Speaker 1: got a helicopter. Yeah, and he's buzzing around there and
Speaker 1: people are like literally flagging him down. Yeah, and he's
Speaker 1: stopping to help them. I mean, it's crazy. So the
Speaker 1: question is like where is FEMA, because we're hearing more
Speaker 1: and more that they're just they don't have a great
Speaker 1: presence there. And then Online Security Secretary Mayorka said the
Speaker 1: FEMA is out of money.
Speaker 12: It's not out of money, but he said that it's
Speaker 12: going to be tough to make it through the end
Speaker 12: of this hurricane season that goes through November. First, that
Speaker 12: it's likely that FEMA will go to Congress and ask
Speaker 12: for a supplemental spending bill. And I can't imagine that
Speaker 12: Congress would turn them down. But I think you're right.
Speaker 12: I mean, people in suffering situations like this like they
Speaker 12: are in western North Carolina. They're not going to be
Speaker 12: happy and they won't be satisfied. And so even if
Speaker 12: FEMA were there in full fource, and you have to
Speaker 12: assume that they are, it just doesn't look at it.
Speaker 12: So a lot of this is it falls to other branches.
Speaker 12: First the military thousand active duty six thousand service out there,
Speaker 12: and also community groups and people like Biffol, people with helicopters,
Speaker 12: their own personal ways of helping out. And not to
Speaker 12: mention the millions of Americans who are making donations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and hopefully they will continue. And like you said,
Speaker 1: make sure that when you do make your donations to
Speaker 1: help to the Red Cross, it's Redcross dot org. Don't
Speaker 1: fall for possibly bad or scam.
Speaker 12: On Redcross dot net, not Redcross dot govor or Redcross
Speaker 12: dot com. It's red Cross dot Org.
Speaker 1: Well, I hope they get the help they need. It's
Speaker 1: just it's just mind blowing how bad it is back there.
Speaker 1: All right, Jim Ryan, thank you so much. Have a
Speaker 1: good weekend.
Speaker 12: All right you too.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. LA County District
Speaker 1: Attorney Gascone says his office is reviewing the case of
Speaker 1: Eric and Lyle Menendez in light of renewed allegations of
Speaker 1: sexual abuse by their father. Gascone says his office has
Speaker 1: a letter written by Eric that outlines the abuse, as
Speaker 1: well as a second letter from someone else.
Speaker 14: We've also got evidence that was provided by the defense
Speaker 14: by his lawyers that one of the members of the
Speaker 14: manul Van alleged that he was molested by the father.
Speaker 1: The brothers were convicted of killing their parents in their
Speaker 1: mansion in Beverly Hills in nineteen eighty nine. Two people
Speaker 1: in downtown LA have received a five hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: settlement after being stabbed at a target in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: A twenty four year old woman a nine year old
Speaker 1: boy sued Target and others, alleging the attackers should not
Speaker 1: have been able to grab a knife from a display.
Speaker 1: The settlement resolves claims against the guest security firm. The
Speaker 1: case against Target is scheduled for trial on the thirty first.
Speaker 1: United Autoworkers are demanding Carmaker Stilantis fulfill its promise to
Speaker 1: invest in American jobs. Workers held a rally in Michigan yesterday.
Speaker 1: UAW President Sean Fain addressed them, saying a potential strike
Speaker 1: is not out of the question.
Speaker 3: A strike will cripple this company.
Speaker 14: And if we have to strike, it's the Way's decision.
Speaker 12: To do so because they're not honoring their commandment.
Speaker 1: UAW Saystlandis is trying to backtrack on its contractual commitments
Speaker 1: to build the Dodge Durango in Detroit and reopening assembly
Speaker 1: plants in Illinois. I used to have a Durango. I

Speaker 1: fifty to sixty five million dollars in its debut weekend.
Speaker 1: Well that doesn't sound so bad, but the original Joker
