So buckle up, let's get going. Here's 16 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.040 what's the head on your Tuesday morning wake up call. 17 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.840 Tens of thousands of union members with the International Longshoreman's 18 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:23.599 Association have gone on strike, affecting ports from Maine to Texas. 19 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.599 The strike's going to affect imports and exports nationwide, which 20 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.159 could cost the country an estimated five billion dollars a day. 21 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.519 We're going to find out how the strike will affect 22 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.959 you with ABC's Jim Ryan. That's coming up at five twenty. 23 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.040 The flare up in the fire burning and the San 24 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.879 Bernardino Mountains is prompted officials to upgrade an evacuation warning 25 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.719 to an order for the Angelus Oaks community. Seven Oaks 26 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.079 residents were ordered to get out Sunday afternoon. The fires 27 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.599 down from eighty three to seventy eight percent surrounded. The 28 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.480 fire was started by an arsonist. September fifth, jd Vance 29 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.560 and Tim Walls are hours away from the one on 30 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.879 one and only vice presidential debate. Former President Trump's running 31 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.319 mate says he'll go after Tim Walls's left wing views. 32 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.360 Vice President Harris's running mate says he'll focus on things 33 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.439 like Americans' ability to thrive. We're going to find out 34 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.039 how they're preparing and how they plan to score points 35 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.879 against the other with ABC's Stephen Portnoy. 36 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:22.800 That's coming up in less than five minutes. 37 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.560 A little later this hour, Joel Larsgard is going to 38 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:28.560 tell us about how the cost of your morning cup 39 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.599 of coffee just went up and what you can do 40 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.400 about it. And with the holiday travel season right around 41 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.199 the corner. Joel's going to let us know when we 42 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.280 should be booking our flights, what days to travel again, 43 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.120 that's all coming up before the top of the hour. 44 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.080 And also, be honest, would you rather spend time with 45 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.039 your pet or with people? We've got a new study 46 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.680 that will tell us that and some other fun things 47 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.680 we found out in the study as well about how 48 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:56.759 we are a little bit crazy about our pets. 49 00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.039 Guilty is charged at. 50 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.960 Six oh five. It's handled on the news. The aftermath 51 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.479 of Hurricane Helene has been described as apocalyptic. President Biden's 52 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.080 headed there tomorrow. Let's get started with some of the 53 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.360 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. 54 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.400 Parts of southern California are under an excessive heat advisory. 55 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.840 The San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys are under an 56 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.879 excessive heat warning until tomorrow night, as temps are expected 57 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.400 to get up to one oh eight. National Weather Service 58 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.280 meteorologist Chandler Price says heat waves are not uncommon in October. 59 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.000 COM's logically, we tend to peak here in southwest California 60 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.319 in late August into early September. 61 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.520 However, heat waves have occurred into November. 62 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.439 He says temperatures will cool down a bit Thursday and Friday, 63 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.000 and we'll pick back up over the weekend. A red 64 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.599 flag warning of critical fire danger will be in effect 65 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.960 until eight pm Thursday along the western San Gabriel Mountains. 66 00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.120 Chris Adler KFI News. 67 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.000 The effects of ex Hurricane Helene are being felt in 68 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.840 North Carolina days after the storm made landfall. ABC spath 69 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.479 aubu Bay says some of the worst damage is in 70 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:02.840 western parts of the state. 71 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.039 While authority sorts for victims and bring in much needed 72 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.039 food and water, it's been raining, they're still dealing with 73 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.520 remnants of Helene. There's also a massive clean up effort 74 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:13.520 still ahead. 75 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.600 President Biden says he'll go to North Carolina tomorrow to 76 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.480 see the damage firsthand. The storm has been blamed on 77 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.279 more than one hundred and thirty deaths across six states, 78 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.839 and hundreds of people are still unaccounted for. Supporters of 79 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.600 a tough on crime ballot measure are asking the people 80 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.079 of LA for their vote. 81 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.800 Prop thirty six would repeal parts of Prop forty seven 82 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.920 and create harsher punishments for some theft and drug crimes. 83 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.120 LA City councilwoman Tracy Park says things are now worse 84 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.199 than ever, ten years after Prop forty seven passed. 85 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:48.160 Braisen Thieves are breaking into people's cars their homes in 86 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:52.480 broad daylight. They don't even care if you're there. 87 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.639 Park was joined by others yesterday, including her fellow city 88 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.600 councilman John Lee, who represents Northridge and Porter Ranch in 89 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.519 Venice Blake Surely kaf I news. 90 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.839 The California DMV no longer requires most drivers seventy and 91 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.800 older to take a written test when renewing their license. 92 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.519 Those drivers will still have to visit an office for 93 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.600 a vision exam and take an updated photo to renew 94 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.920 their license. A bill signed by Governor Newsom will allow 95 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.879 cannabis dispensaries in California to deserve hot food and non 96 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:28.240 alcoholic drinks. Right now, people can smoke, vape and have 97 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:32.279 food samples in some dispensaries where prepackaged snacks and drinks 98 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.279 are sold. Supporters of the bills say the so called 99 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.920 cannabis cafe model is like what exists in Amsterdam, where 100 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.800 cannabis is legal in coffee shops. The La Times reports 101 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.959 the American Cancer Society Society Society is against the bill, 102 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:53.319 saying secondhand marijuana smoke can cause things like cardiovascular disease 103 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:58.720 and asthma. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. 104 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.480 So, Stephen, the big and. 105 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.680 Only vice president vice presidential debate is tonight. 106 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.199 What does each side hope to accomplish? 107 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.480 Well, I think, Look, I think the first thing you 108 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.000 want to do is not do any harm to your 109 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:13.600 running mate. 110 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.160 That's the first objective. 111 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.319 Beyond that, maybe it's to persuade the voters that the 112 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.240 other guy is not the right choice. I'm not sure 113 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.720 how much vice presidential debates matter, and so I think 114 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.480 there's a bit of a pro forma aspect of it tonight. 115 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.439 But also there's the idea that this is the last 116 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.920 scheduled opportunity for Americans to hear from either of these 117 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.639 campaigns in the person of the running mate, if not 118 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.480 the top of the ticket. There's no more presidential debates scheduled, 119 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:44.920 and so this could be the last time. Look, this 120 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:48.040 is going to happen tonight at the CBS News headquarters 121 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:49.839 on the West side of Manhattan, in a studio that 122 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:51.519 was once home to Captain Kangaroo. 123 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.920 Oh I remember Captain King, right, I know it's. 124 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.120 Obviously not going to look the same television as you 125 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.639 know as a right, and it's pretty I saw a 126 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.680 picture of it last night. You're going to have first 127 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.160 term senator, author and yet educated lawyer JD. Vance against 128 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.519 former high school football coach six term Congressmen in Minnesota 129 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.839 Governor Tim Walls as a matter of substance, well, I 130 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.360 don't know about substance noise. 131 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:16.399 Vance is going to go after. 132 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.160 Walls, likely for claiming that he once carried weapons in 133 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:20.959 war when he was never deployed to a war zone. 134 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.720 He's going to cast Walls as someone who retired from 135 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.639 the National Guard knowing that his unit was about to 136 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.319 be deployed to a rock even though Walls denies that. 137 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.279 He's going to say that Walls claimed that he earned 138 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.160 a rank he didn't stay long enough in the Guard 139 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.480 to keep. Walls is likely to push back and say 140 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.519 that after a quarter century of service in the National Guard, 141 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.279 he's very proud of his service and his service to 142 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.360 the country and the Congress. I expect that Walls will 143 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.199 play into Vance's unfavorability with the public for the things 144 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.519 that he has said about democratic women, describing them as 145 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.839 childless cat ladies the allegations of false allegations he's aired 146 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.040 about migrants in his home state of Ohio eating household pets. 147 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.920 Vance recently sent it in anto that he created that 148 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.000 story just to draw media attention to the problems caused 149 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:05.519 by migrants in Ohio. 150 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.079 I did he created it? 151 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.519 He said, and in seeing an interview that he sometimes 152 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.399 has to create stories, and he has no problem with 153 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.079 doing so because the media, he says, would otherwise pay 154 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:20.120 no attention. So expect Walls to bring that up. Here's 155 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.040 something else. In the years I've been covering national politics, amy, 156 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.839 I've never known a candidate to telegraph in advance how 157 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.240 nervous he is going into a debate. But that is 158 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.720 something that's want. That's what Walls is doing, and you know, 159 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.200 backing it up. A source confirms to us that Walls 160 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.840 told Kamala Harris before she picked him that he's a 161 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.759 bad debater. Now, why in the world would you want 162 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.039 the world to know that before the debate. I think 163 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.840 it's obvious that it's it's expectations setting there, trying to 164 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.679 set a bar very low. But I don't know that 165 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.720 it matters much. And the Trump campaign is kind of 166 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.559 laughing at Off, saying, look, after six terms in Congress 167 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.840 and a statewide race for governor, and not to mention 168 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.960 all the years tussling with high school football players and students, 169 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.240 Walls will probably appear very polished and well prepared on 170 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.240 the stage. Vance as a Yale educated attorney and someone 171 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.000 who likes to mix it up with interviewers and journalists 172 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.399 on the campaign trail, has that level of experience going 173 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.799 into tonight. Let's see how it all plays out. One 174 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.120 key thing when it comes to the rules, the CBS 175 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:27.399 News producers have made it clear that they don't expect 176 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.720 that the moderators Nora O'Donnell or Margaret Brennan will be 177 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.759 fact checking these candidates in real time. They're going to 178 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.320 leave it to the respective candidates to do it themselves, 179 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.240 which is a you know, it is a statement on 180 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.120 the part of that network and also on the part 181 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:44.440 of you know. It sets up an expectation that the 182 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.440 candidates themselves will have to bring it, you know, as 183 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.759 I think is fair. You know, if you hear the 184 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:51.879 other guy saying something that's wrong, you should. 185 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.519 Call it out. And they're going to be able to 186 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:54.919 because their mics are going to be on right. 187 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.960 That's right, and that also is a change from the 188 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.519 last couple of debates. I look forward to the days 189 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:02.960 we no longer have to talk about the rules of 190 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:03.399 these things. 191 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.039 All right, then, with that, thank you so much, Stephen Portnoy. 192 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.320 Hopefully we can catch up after the debate and see 193 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.120 if it really was worth watching you back. All right, 194 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.600 take care. Let's get back to some of the stories 195 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.879 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. And 196 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:20.600 by the way, I will be watching or listening, you know, 197 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.759 we can. You can listen to it right here on KFI. 198 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.000 We're airing at live at six pm. But let's get 199 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.279 back to some other stories. Immigration officials say more than 200 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:32.879 six hundred and seventy thousand illegal immigrants waiting for a 201 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.000 court appearance in the US have been convicted of a crime. 202 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.240 And according to stats released in a document, more than 203 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.080 thirteen thousand of those illegal immigrants have committed murder and 204 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:44.559 nearly sixteen thousand were convicted of sexual assault. KFI News 205 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.559 obtained the documents sent to members of Congress that summarize 206 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:49.600 the number of criminal migrants who remain in the US 207 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.919 awaiting their day in court. Those numbers include illegal immigrants 208 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:55.360 who crossed the California Mexico border up to July of 209 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:59.080 this year. Homeland Security officials also said sanctuary cities are 210 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:02.519 protecting violent criminals, many of whom pray on the very 211 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:06.840 community giving them sanctuary. Steve greg Riquaa finals the. 212 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.639 Armorer on the set of Rust, will not get a 213 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.120 new trial in her involuntary manslaughter case in New Mexico. 214 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.440 Hannah Gutiera's reed is serving eighteen months for the onset 215 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.080 shooting death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins in twenty twenty one. 216 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.080 Gutierras Reid asked for the new trial over evidence withheld 217 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.039 in her trial, but the judge wrote that it would 218 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:30.759 not have changed the trial's outcome. Alec Baldwin, who fired 219 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.360 the gun that killed Hutchins, got his case dismissed in 220 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.360 July when prosecutors were accused of withholding evidence. The Israeli 221 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.159 militaries ordered the evacuation of nearly two dozen Lebanese communities 222 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.720 near the border. It happened hours after Israel sent ground 223 00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.720 forces into southern Lebanon in what it described as a 224 00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:52.480 limited incursion against Hesbolah. The militants group new leader told 225 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.799 Israel's defense forces that they are ready and waiting. 226 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.159 Nam Cassen has last number two warning Israel, so if 227 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.000 they enter by land, his troops are going to be 228 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:01.840 ready for battle. 229 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.399 ABC's Ian Panel says the IDFs air Force and artillery 230 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.600 units are targeting areas close to the Israeli border to 231 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:12.320 support ground forces. A bill signed by Governor Newsoen will 232 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.639 allow cannabis dispensaries in California to serve hot food and 233 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:17.519 non alcoholic drinks. 234 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:24.519 Hey, I already did this story. Forget that former baseball 235 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.000 star Pete Rose has died. 236 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.840 He set records for the number of hits, games played, 237 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:33.080 and at bats, but his reputation, of course, turnished by scandal. 238 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.200 Rose was banned from the game in nineteen eighty nine 239 00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:40.320 for gambling while playing and managing the Cincinnati Reds, including 240 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.360 making bets on his own team. He talked reporters about 241 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.600 the ban in twenty fifteen. 242 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.240 I went baseball and Pete Rose to be friends. 243 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.360 That's all I want for so I can say I'm 244 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:53.759 not an outsider looking at. 245 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.159 Rose died yesterday at his home in Las Vegas. Pete 246 00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.639 Rose was eighty three years old. So when I got 247 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.159 news about this, I started thinking about it. Of course, 248 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.559 you know, the greatest hitter of all time in the game, 249 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:12.399 and yeah, betting on the game not a good thing, 250 00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:15.799 and that got him kicked out of baseball. But he's 251 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.799 not in the Hall of Fame. And I don't know 252 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:21.159 how you feel about this, And I thought, I remember 253 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.399 thinking about it a while ago and thinking, Nah, he 254 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.519 broke the rules. He shouldn't be there. I'm wondering now 255 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:31.120 that he has died, if they may induct him posthumously. 256 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.279 Kno's shaking his head. 257 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:36.320 No, because it wasn't just betting. He bet on his teams. 258 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:38.559 It wasn't like he bet on other teams. 259 00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:38.840 You know. 260 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.600 That's what they found out. So that's why I love 261 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:45.879 Pete Rose. It was fun to watch him play. I 262 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.879 watched old videos to him all the time. But you 263 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:50.399 don't think he should be in the in the Hall. 264 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:51.200 I really don't. 265 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:53.679 And I kind of think that he should because I 266 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.440 don't think the betting affected his excellence on the field 267 00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:57.080 as a player. 268 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:02.120 I know, but I also I don't know. I waffle 269 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:02.360 on it. 270 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.080 It'll be interesting to see if they do do it, 271 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.840 but they've been pretty adamant that that wasn't going to happen. 272 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:09.960 I know that there's been talk of it over the years, 273 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.360 but that's that's my thought on it. I think maybe 274 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:16.399 maybe yes. A fifty one year old man has been 275 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.200 charged with fatally shooting a passenger on a metro bus, 276 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.559 then hijacking the bus, which led to a high speed 277 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.000 chase from South LA into downtown LA. Fifty one year 278 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:29.600 old Lamont Campbell is scheduled to be arraigned today. The 279 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:33.240 driver and another passenger were rescued. Police have not said 280 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.559 what a motive for the shooting may have been. The 281 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.480 Israeli military has begun what it has called a limited 282 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:42.440 localized operation against Hesbo LA targets in southern Lebanon. The 283 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.879 IDF says it's targets pose an immediate threat to Israeli 284 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.039 communities in northern Israel. We're also getting word that the 285 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:54.440 IDF has hit targets in Syria overnight. Baseball's all time 286 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.840 hit leader has died. Pete Rose passed away at his 287 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.360 home in Vegas yesterday. Racked up forty two hundred fifty 288 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.519 six hits over twenty four seasons, but was banned from 289 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.639 baseball because he bet on the game, including on his 290 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.240 own team. Because of the ban, he was never admitted 291 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.600 to Baseball's Hall of Fame. He rose was eighty three. 292 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.399 Let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. 293 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:16.480 Jim, the Duck. 294 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:17.519 Workers have walked. 295 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.960 They have by the tens of thousands from Port Up 296 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.159 in Maine all the way down to the port at Houston, 297 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.919 forty five thousand workers on the Pigott lines this morning. 298 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.879 The International Longshoreman's Association had been talking about this strike 299 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.399 for some time, had been in negotiations with the US 300 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:38.840 Maritime Alliance, which represents the ports. So the two sides 301 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.120 finally broke it off last night. There had been talked 302 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:44.200 of a potential agreement between the two that did not 303 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.080 happen before the midnight deadline. And so the strike is 304 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:47.960 underway today. 305 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.840 Amy, Okay. So even though progress was possibly made, not 306 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:53.159 enough that they'd call. 307 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:56.080 It off exactly. And so here we sit. 308 00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:59.799 The Longshoreman Association has been demanding a seventy seven percent 309 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.440 raised over the six year life of the comments. 310 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:05.320 Seventy seven that's a lot over sixty years. 311 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:06.639 How much do they make? 312 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:09.120 We know some of them can make up to two 313 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:13.360 hundred thousand dollars. The base salaries about eighty one thousand 314 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:15.440 per year. But again, I mean it can go much 315 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.039 higher than that, depending upon where they work and the 316 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:21.879 length of service, that sort of thing. So it's a 317 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.559 pretty hefty salary already and stands to get higher. 318 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:25.960 They look. 319 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.159 Part of the demand that they have that the Long 320 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:33.519 Showman Association has is that automation is cutting into jobs 321 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.360 they are on the ports, and they want to see 322 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.840 that stopped altogether. Now I'm not sure exactly, you know, 323 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.879 are you talking about cranes that lift the containers off 324 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.279 the ship. Surely not, But I think at some point 325 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.039 they're saying that that automation is doing the jobs that 326 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:51.919 people can do. For example, it's the things you see 327 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:53.360 in Amazon warehouses. 328 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.000 Yeah, so like the instead of having people drive around 329 00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:59.639 on the forklifts, now they'll just have robots. 330 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.240 Doing exactly and that therefore you have a human forklift 331 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:04.680 driver who doesn't have a job anymore. 332 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:10.880 Interesting interesting argument, because, like you said, it's happening at Amazon. 333 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:11.480 Look at it. 334 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:17.319 Look at a car manufacturing plant. Now it's almost all automated, right. 335 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:19.799 I mean, there are still people along that assembly line, 336 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.559 but so many of the jobs are being done by robots. 337 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:29.000 And that's coming into the port and the cargo industry 338 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.839 as well. And so yeah, that's that's been a concern 339 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:33.000 of the ILA for some time. 340 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.079 You Know, what I started thinking about yesterday when they 341 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:37.079 were talking about this strike and that it was going 342 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:39.079 to be on the East coast ports and down to 343 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:42.920 Texas was the Port of Baltimore, which was closed for 344 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:43.839 how long? 345 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:45.319 Was it closed for three months or. 346 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:46.960 Something when the bridge was hit. 347 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:48.519 Yeah, and the bridge was hit, and I. 348 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:50.480 Was wondering what happened to those workers and were they 349 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.440 just off the job or did they get paid during 350 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:53.000 that time. 351 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.359 Well, I suspect that the union stepped in and helped out, 352 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:58.440 because that's what part of the job of the union 353 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:02.000 is to support workers who are out of a job 354 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:03.559 for no reason. 355 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:03.759 Of their own. 356 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.519 He also had the Port of Orlando which was closed 357 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.880 down because of Hurricane Helene, and it caused disruptions in 358 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.920 getting supplies into those victims of the hurricane from this 359 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:17.920 past few weeks. You know, they need water and food 360 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.160 and supplies in their gasoline everything else. This puts the 361 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:24.759 administration in a really tough situation. President Biden is trying 362 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.480 to win the support of union voters you know, they've 363 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.119 been kind of on Hl's with the unions for some 364 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:32.640 time now, the Democrats. But he also doesn't want the 365 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:36.079 economy to tank. So it's a tough line that he's 366 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.960 trying to toew here because if he comes down in 367 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:43.720 favor of the Union, then you know, people are going 368 00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:46.599 to say that he's allowing the economy to slip. If 369 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:50.359 he comes down in favor of the association that runs 370 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.440 the ports, then union voters might get mad at him. 371 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:53.920 Well. 372 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.799 It'll be interesting too because now with Harris actually running 373 00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:02.440 for president, could she dv from what Biden does? So 374 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.200 could Biden say you got to get back to work, 375 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:09.880 and Harris could distance herself from him by saying, yeah, no, 376 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.400 I wouldn't have done it that way, but I'm not 377 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:12.200 the president yet. 378 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:16.039 Yeah, it's a really interesting time that we're. 379 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:21.039 In right now, and Jim the administration could order them 380 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:24.240 back to work. Isn't there something that could require them 381 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:24.759 to go back. 382 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:28.960 Yeah, something like we saw with the flight the air 383 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:30.799 traffic controllers back in nineteen eighty. 384 00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:34.519 So it's possible, I suppose. I don't think that's likely. 385 00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.640 The White House did put out a statement this morning 386 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:42.240 not taking sides but telling both sides, the port owners, 387 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.759 port managers and the International Long Terman's Association to get 388 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.920 back to the bargaining table and to negotiate in good faith. 389 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:50.720 So that's as far as they're taking right now. 390 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.440 Okay, so that's what's happening at the actual ports and 391 00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.319 the docks. But what's going to be the immediate effect 392 00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:58.000 on us? 393 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.200 Well, for you in law Los Angeles, it's likely that 394 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:03.240 a lot of the cargo that would have been coming 395 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.880 through Houston and Miami and Orlando, you know those ports there, 396 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:09.680 they may shift that around to the West coast, and 397 00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:13.319 so you could see kind of a backlog and much 398 00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:16.079 much busier ports out there on the West coast. But 399 00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:20.880 for consumers prices, the longer this goes, the more noticeable 400 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.759 the impact might be on prices we pay. Walmart is 401 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:27.440
