Speaker 1: But yes, Cona's like, are you going to the game?
Speaker 1: Can you give me a popple ahead? I text so
Speaker 1: many of my friends and nobody's going to give him up.
Speaker 4: One said I didn't get a text back last night,

Speaker 4: I know he got one.
Speaker 1: It was just the first forty thousand fans. The line
Speaker 1: was long. Yes, we'll be telling you about that in
Speaker 1: just a second. And of course, a big day today

Speaker 1: running for president. She's going to sit down for an
Speaker 1: interview that is happening tonight on CNN. I'll be watching.
Speaker 1: I'll be parked on my couch watching because I think
Speaker 1: we need to know. It's time to get information, find
Speaker 1: out who this person is. Is she ready to be president?
Speaker 1: Here's what's ahead on wake up call. Cell phones at
Speaker 1: schools will soon be banned in California if the governor
Speaker 1: signs a bill that was passed by lawmakers in Sacramento.
Speaker 1: The bill would require school districts to limit or ban
Speaker 1: students cell phone use during the school day. Doesn't apply
Speaker 1: to during emergencies. The Phone Free Schools Act is awaiting
Speaker 1: a final sign off from Governor Newsom. Districts would have
Speaker 1: until July of twenty twenty six to implement it. Couldn't
Speaker 1: they just say, Okay, the bill has passed, let's not
Speaker 1: have the cell phones in schools like effective immediately, just
Speaker 1: a thought. LA Mayor Bass has visited the iconic Langers
Speaker 1: Deli near MacArthur Park to try and convince the owner
Speaker 1: to stay open. Normal. Langer said earlier this week he
Speaker 1: might close his business because he's fed up with the
Speaker 1: city ignoring crime, homelessness, and illegal street vending. Mayor Bass
Speaker 1: met with Langer on Tuesday and tried to reassure him
Speaker 1: the city is taking action. The FBI says a definitive
Speaker 1: motive in the assassination attempt on former President Trump has
Speaker 1: not yet been established. In an update yesterday, officials say
Speaker 1: the man who shot Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: on July thirteenth found what they called a target of opportunity.
Speaker 1: We're going to be talking more about that, about what
Speaker 1: we found out, what we didn't find out from the
Speaker 1: FBI with ABC's Crime and Terror analyst Brad Garrett. That's
Speaker 1: coming up at five twenty, so just a little more
Speaker 1: than fifteen minutes from now. We're just two weeks into
Speaker 1: the school year in LA and teachers are already stressed
Speaker 1: out and burned out. Jim Ryan's gonna tell us why
Speaker 1: in less than five minutes. Also, we told you last
Speaker 1: week about a new pizza vending machine in northern California. Well,
Speaker 1: we're going out and about in search of one, and
Speaker 1: guess what we found one. We'll tell you about it
Speaker 1: coming up at the bottom of the art. We also
Speaker 1: did a little taste test. I think you're going to
Speaker 1: be happy when you hear what we found out. Let's
Speaker 1: get started with some of the stories coming out of
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty for our newsroom. Six people have been
Speaker 1: charged for their roles in what federal prosecutors have called
Speaker 1: crime tourism.
Speaker 5: Criminals come from places like Chile where it's easy to
Speaker 5: get a tourist visa to visit the US and then
Speaker 5: find a network of folks ready to help them commit
Speaker 5: burglaries and other thefts. LA Mayor Karen Bassay is yesterday's
Speaker 5: arrest of six of those alleged helpers should help put
Speaker 5: the community at ease.
Speaker 6: This is a major step forward, and I hope that
Speaker 6: it brings relief to our neighbors in the Los Angeles area.
Speaker 5: Two of the people charged allegedly operated a rental car
Speaker 5: company dedicated solely to getting burglars around the region and
Speaker 5: the country in downtown LA. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: Two high schools in LA have been evacuated because of
Speaker 1: a threat to their campuses. Shooting threats were made yesterday
Speaker 1: against Birmingham Community Charter School in Van Eys and High
Speaker 1: Tech Los Angeles Charter School in Lake Balboa. It's not
Speaker 1: clear if the threats were credible, The Supreme Court has
Speaker 1: turned down a Biden administration request to allow a student
Speaker 1: loan plan to go into effect while legal challenges play out.
Speaker 1: ABC's Karen Travers's The White House plans to continue to
Speaker 1: defend President Biden's student debt relief plan, known as the
Speaker 1: Safe Plan, which it says has helped over eight million
Speaker 1: borrowers lower their monthly payments.
Speaker 7: Spokesman Angelo Fernandez hernandezays in a statement, quote, we won't
Speaker 7: stop fighting against Republican elected officials' efforts to raise costs
Speaker 7: some millions of their own constituents student loan payments.
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court kept the program on hold yesterday while
Speaker 1: challenges make their way through federal court. We told you
Speaker 1: last night was show Hey Otani Bobblehead night at Dodgers Stadium,
Speaker 1: and the fans couldn't wait to get their hands on one.
Speaker 1: The giveaway was the second Otani bobblehead this season. Long
Speaker 1: lines of cars blocked streets outside the stadium for hours
Speaker 1: as fans waited to get into park to get their souvenir.
Speaker 1: They were being given out to the first forty thousand people.
Speaker 1: The stadium holds fifty six thousand. Otani's dog decoy throughout
Speaker 1: the first pitch. Love that as the Dodgers hosted the
Speaker 1: Baltimore Orioles. Spoiler alert, the Dodgers won. Is that a spoiler?
Speaker 1: The game was yesterday? Come on, let's say good morning
Speaker 1: to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, La schools have been
Speaker 1: back in session for two weeks already. The teachers are
Speaker 1: stressed out and burned out.
Speaker 8: Why, well, that's happening all over the country. In fact,
Speaker 8: the Department of Education says that only forty two percent
Speaker 8: of teachers believe their job is worth the stress that
Speaker 8: they face every day. That's down dramatically from just eight
Speaker 8: years ago. A lot of reasons for it, I think,
Speaker 8: you know, teachers themselves and school administrators see that funding
Speaker 8: has fallen off, so teachers aren't paid as well as
Speaker 8: they were. Beyond that, though, a lot of states aren't
Speaker 8: mandating things within schools like mental health programs for the kids,
Speaker 8: schools security, you know, and yet not providing any extra
Speaker 8: funding for those things. So the schools and the districts
Speaker 8: are having to come up with that. But an extreme
Speaker 8: case of this, just this past week came school teacher
Speaker 8: down in course at count about fifty miles south of Dallas.
Speaker 8: Was in her school first day of school a week
Speaker 8: ago Monday, and got a call on her school radio.
Speaker 8: There was a kid out of control in a classroom.
Speaker 8: She ran down. There was having a massive tantrum, a fit,
Speaker 8: I suppose in his room. Everybody had cleared out teacher
Speaker 8: and the rest of the students were out of the room.
Speaker 8: She went in, Candor Rogers did and the kid threw
Speaker 8: a chair at her. She caught the chair or deflected it.
Speaker 8: Then he threw a wooden hangar at her. A coat
Speaker 8: hanger hit her in the eye, knocked the eye out
Speaker 8: of the socket.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 8: She was flown up to the hospital in Dallas, to
Speaker 8: a Parkland hospital where the doctors say that the blindness
Speaker 8: is going to be permanent. The kid is eleven years old.
Speaker 8: Candor Rogers, this assistant principal doesn't blame the kid, doesn't
Speaker 8: doesn't blame the teachers or the parents. She says this
Speaker 8: is a result of reduced funding or a lack of
Speaker 8: new funding from the state. She says that if they
Speaker 8: had had programs in place to catch this kid's mental
Speaker 8: illness beforehand, or metal problems or stresses on that kid,
Speaker 8: it might have contributed to a different outcome for her. Well,
Speaker 8: it didn't.
Speaker 1: That's really interesting that she blames it on school funding,
Speaker 1: because I would blame it on parents not paying attention. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and teachers being restricted to what you know, can they
Speaker 1: discipline kids so you can't even kick a kid out
Speaker 1: of class anymore in some places.
Speaker 8: Well, this kid, I mean was totally out of control
Speaker 8: and a physical assault on teachers and kids, and you
Speaker 8: know at some point, Yeah, and this was what Rogers was.
Speaker 8: She was there to try to calm him down, get
Speaker 8: him in custody, or get him somehow to quit tearing
Speaker 8: up the room that he was in, and she caught
Speaker 8: this wooden hanger right in the eye.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's so sad. So yeah, and less
Speaker 1: than half of the teachers think it's worth it, which
Speaker 1: is just really a sad thing because I remember what
Speaker 1: it is like when we were kids. We used to go, oh,
Speaker 1: being a teacher would be cool. You get to help
Speaker 1: kids shape their futures.
Speaker 8: And yeah, they were at least respected, I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Separate set of Gallup says that four in ten k
Speaker 8: through twelve workers in the US, that's teachers principals teachers'
Speaker 8: ages say they all or very often feel burned out
Speaker 8: at work. That outpaces all other industries around the country.
Speaker 8: So teachers, even radio, yeah, even radio.
Speaker 1: So is there anything that parents can do or the
Speaker 1: schools can do to I mean, it just seems like
Speaker 1: it's a societal thing. But is there anything that can
Speaker 1: be done to maybe help a little bit?
Speaker 8: I think you're right right, I mean, but first of all,
Speaker 8: writing to your state representatives and demanding that the teacher
Speaker 8: pay be increased or the funding to school districts be increased.
Speaker 8: Getting involved in the PTA, right, even if if it's
Speaker 8: your grandkid in school, Not just necessarily your kid, but
Speaker 8: getting involved in the school. Letting the teachers know that
Speaker 8: they're appreciated by parental and guardian support of what's happening there.
Speaker 8: I think that's a good way to show up to
Speaker 8: I mean, posters as much as anything else. But at
Speaker 8: the same time, and pat on the back goes a
Speaker 8: long way for a teacher who's feeling stressed about forty
Speaker 8: percent of the time.
Speaker 1: So support the teachers, let them know that you support
Speaker 1: them exactly. I don't think necessarily increasing a paycheck is
Speaker 1: going to bring job satisfaction. But I think it's that support. Sure,
Speaker 1: you know I've heard, but money never hurts.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I think on top of that, you're right that this
Speaker 8: moral booster of showing support for the teachers, letting them
Speaker 8: know that they are appreciated them. You know, teachers are
Speaker 8: into a lot of stress and I think a lot
Speaker 8: of them feel kind of isolated out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So as parents, community members, let your teachers know
Speaker 1: that you support them, because I think you know, by
Speaker 1: and large, they're all. You know, they're great, They're teaching
Speaker 1: our children, they're shaping them for the future.
Speaker 8: Yeah, what what job is more important than that?
Speaker 1: Exactly? The radio right abec's Jim Ryan, thanks so much
Speaker 1: for the update. Yeah, all right, let's get back to
Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
Speaker 1: four hour newsroom. A guy sentenced to five years in
Speaker 1: prison for a series of road rage attacks in La
Speaker 1: County has been let out after less than one year.
Speaker 1: The La County DA's office has been criticized for Nathaniel
Speaker 1: Radamac's early release. This woman, who was in a car
Speaker 1: radomac attacked with a steel pipe, says District Attorney Gascon
Speaker 1: should have done more the communication with the DA's office
Speaker 1: has been poor throughout this process. The sentence was cut short.
Speaker 1: Radamac was arrested in January of last year. Some of
Speaker 1: the attacks were recorded on dash camps. In at least
Speaker 1: two cases, he was seen getting out of his tesla
Speaker 1: and bashing vehicles with a metal pipe. The Santa Monica
Speaker 1: City Council has postponed a vote on whether to ban
Speaker 1: people from sleeping in public spaces.
Speaker 10: The ban would make it illegal for people to sleep
Speaker 10: on streets with blankets, pillows, and sleeping bags. This woman
Speaker 10: says she's pretty sure she's seen homeless people dying in
Speaker 10: the streets, and the band might just help them get
Speaker 10: the help they desperately need.
Speaker 1: Their brains, their nutrition. There's nothing on the street that's
Speaker 1: going to help someone help them solved.
Speaker 10: The proposal comes after a Supreme Court ruling in June
Speaker 10: that allows cities to criminalize people for sleeping in public areas.
Speaker 10: The councils expected to vote on the band by September tenth.
Speaker 1: Chris Adler KFI News Republican vice presidential nominee jd Vance
Speaker 1: has gone after Vice President Harris over the Biden administration's
Speaker 1: withdrawal from Afghanistan. Thirteen US service members were killed at
Speaker 1: Kabl Airport in twenty twenty one as the US was
Speaker 1: pulling out. Vance says more should have been done to
Speaker 1: hold government officials accountable for the chaotic withdrawal.
Speaker 5: I don't think you've.
Speaker 4: Ever had an American military disaster in the history of.
Speaker 7: The country that's of that scale.
Speaker 5: Thirteen dead Americans who should still be alive, and not
Speaker 5: a single person's been fired.
Speaker 9: I just don't understand that.
Speaker 1: And Van says Vice President Harris won't do an investigation
Speaker 1: into what happened at Afghanistan's Abbey Gate. A lake in
Speaker 1: northern California has been turned pink to help scientists. Researchers
Speaker 1: from the California Department of Water Resources died McLoud Lake
Speaker 1: because two years ago an algae bloom turn the waters
Speaker 1: bright green. So this year the lake is fine. The
Speaker 1: Department of Water Resources says that die is harmless, but
Speaker 1: it's going to help scientists understand how the lake behaves.
Speaker 1: The goal is predict and then prevent future algae blooms
Speaker 1: that can hurt humans, pets, and wildlife. Tonight, the Dodgers

Speaker 1: been arrested in La Orange and Ventura Counties and what
Speaker 1: police are calling a crime tourism ring in southern California.
Speaker 1: Several of those arrested are from South America. The alleged
Speaker 1: leaders are from the Santa Clarita Valley. Police say they've
Speaker 1: robbed homes and stores in the Southland and laundered millions
Speaker 1: of dollars in cash and valuables. With sixty eight days

Speaker 1: Yelp has filed an anti trust lawsuit against Google. Yelp
Speaker 1: alleges in its lawsuit filed yesterday, in San Francisco that
Speaker 1: Google used its monopoly to dominate advertising and manipulate search results.
Speaker 1: Earlier this month, a federal judge ruled that Google violated
Speaker 1: US anti trust laws and had monopolized the search market.
Speaker 1: At six oh five, it's handle all the news. The
Speaker 1: big day has arrived. Vice President Kamala Harris is going
Speaker 1: to sit down for an interview, her first one in
Speaker 1: more than a month since announcing that she will be
Speaker 1: running for president. Let's say good morning now to ABC's
Speaker 1: Brad Garrett. So, Brad, the FBI has released details about
Speaker 1: their investigation into the young man who tried to assassinate
Speaker 1: former President Trump. So what did they say and what
Speaker 1: did they not say?
Speaker 6: So they basically talked about online searches by the shooter,
Speaker 6: things like how far was Oswald from Kennedy? Where will
Speaker 6: President Trump speak from at the Butler Farm Show? And
Speaker 6: it goes on and on with sort of variations of that,
Speaker 6: he did sixty searches on President Trump's and Biden, He
Speaker 6: did churches on the searches on the RNC, the DNC.
Speaker 6: But you know, when you look at these search entries,
Speaker 6: I mean, none of this stuff is a red flag.
Speaker 6: I mean even searching or ordering the components to a bomb.
Speaker 6: The components individually aren't a bomb that you and I
Speaker 6: and obviously he did. You can order them when you
Speaker 6: make it into a bomb. It's illegal. But I mean,
Speaker 6: these are types of searches that are did millions of
Speaker 6: people do every day for for different reasons than obviously
Speaker 6: this kid was headed.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 6: The other important thing that they said is that they
Speaker 6: just haven't found a motive. And you know, but that
Speaker 6: was my concern early on in this case, because nobody
Speaker 6: said they've found any online profile, they didn't find a manifesto,
Speaker 6: they hadn't interviewed anybody that this kid had, you know,
Speaker 6: talked about going and committing a mass shooting, in particular
Speaker 6: shooting somebody famous. And so I think they released all
Speaker 6: this information because of the the volumes of misinformation that
Speaker 6: are being put out on this particular story. Now that
Speaker 6: of course happens every day. The spin factor of trying
Speaker 6: to turn things into something they aren't is an everyday
Speaker 6: occurrence unfortunately well, and.
Speaker 1: Also in the absence of information, people will fill in
Speaker 1: the gaps. And don't you think that's how the all
Speaker 1: these conspiracy things get going Because we don't have the information,
Speaker 1: and so they're like, oh, well it could be this,
Speaker 1: it could be that, and they start trying to get
Speaker 1: they they're looking for answers.
Speaker 6: Right, That's that's clear. But I think that's why the
Speaker 6: FBI held this conference, this news conference yesterday, was to
Speaker 6: give us at least more information.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 6: I'm sure it's not everything they know, but I think
Speaker 6: it gives you sort of a clear indicator that you know,
Speaker 6: this kid is alone actor, there's nobody else involved. That
Speaker 6: he was looking and these are my words, not theirs.
Speaker 6: He was just looking for somebody famous to shoot, based
Speaker 6: on you know what they found on his phone back
Speaker 6: several weeks ago, you know, pictures of the President, Biden, Farmer,
Speaker 6: President Trump, the Princess of Wales. There was a couple
Speaker 6: of other well known people on his phone. Again, I
Speaker 6: think looking for a particular target that would you get
Speaker 6: a lot of media attention because of who they are.
Speaker 6: And that's not uncommon in mass shooters, even the ones
Speaker 6: that go to their own schools. They may or may
Speaker 6: not go there to shoot a particular teacher or person.
Speaker 6: They want to be famous in their own realm, and
Speaker 6: there's some of that going on with this kid in
Speaker 6: my view.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so you're saying there's no indication that he
Speaker 1: had ties to anyone, and that there's still no motive
Speaker 1: because like all the searches that the FBI did talk
Speaker 1: about yesterday and showing that they're all benign if they're
Speaker 1: done individually, how do you stop something like this from happening?
Speaker 1: How do you profile and find somebody who might do this?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm not sure that you do. There's no information,
Speaker 6: there's no information out there, and that nobody came forward.
Speaker 6: Now did this kid say anything to anybody? I don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean, he's an unusual kid, apparently super super smart,
Speaker 6: but a big time loner. I mean there was earlier
Speaker 6: information even at the elder care facility he worked at,
Speaker 6: he would eat alone. In other words, this is a
Speaker 6: kid that's just out there alone, which is always, you know,
Speaker 6: not a healthy sign, even if you're not going to
Speaker 6: go harm anybody. But I guess the point being being odd,
Speaker 6: being super smart, doing these searches, not telling anybody what
Speaker 6: you're going to do, and just planning it in your
Speaker 6: own head. I mean, what's law enforcement going to do
Speaker 6: with that?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 6: The different side of this story unrelated to this part
Speaker 6: is should he have been stopped at the scene, And
Speaker 6: the answer is yes, he never should have gotten to
Speaker 6: the position he got into that he should have been
Speaker 6: stopped before that. But that's a that's a separate investigation
Speaker 6: in what you and I are talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they didn't talk about that yesterday, right, They
Speaker 1: were just really releasing the information about the shooter.
Speaker 6: Right, And that's really more on the Secret Service to do. Yeah,
Speaker 6: because that's the that's their world.
Speaker 1: Gotcha. And should the FBI be releasing any more information
Speaker 1: or is this pretty standard or actually not that standard
Speaker 1: that they're releasing information at all? But do you think
Speaker 1: that they they help their cause, hurt their cause?
Speaker 6: Or it's hard to say. I mean, people who buy
Speaker 6: in the conspiracy theories are going to continue to listen
Speaker 6: to news feeds or individuals that tell them wise or
Speaker 6: just fabricated information. That's going to continue no matter what
Speaker 6: the FBI does. But I applaud them for doing this.
Speaker 6: My guess is they get if they get more or
Speaker 6: have more information they can that they can release, they'll
Speaker 6: do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I would imagine it's frustrating for them too. Brad Garrett,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time and your information.
Speaker 1: As always, we appreciate it.
Speaker 6: You're welcome to take care any all right, take care.

Speaker 9: Receive? I tried different audiences. I would say educationals, fear
Speaker 9: like colleges, universities the most appreciative of those machines.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because everybody loves good pizza and what else.
Speaker 9: Sea bowls, chocolate, lava cake, and that's only a few items.
Speaker 9: We got a Detroit style of thick crust pizza. We
Speaker 9: got gluten free pizza.
Speaker 1: And how often do you have to refill this?
Speaker 9: It depends on a demand. But actually we're hearing this
Speaker 9: college at least every other day, but like on the
Speaker 9: busy days, every day.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 9: It's an AI controlled machine, so whenever the quantity of
Speaker 9: a product goes in like a critical levels, you know,
Speaker 9: machine generates the order and so order is being processed
Speaker 9: in a kitchen. Kitchen is cooking the stuff part baked
Speaker 9: pizzas or what all the other meals and driver deliversy here.
Speaker 1: I love it, so it keeps you posting. You don't
Speaker 1: have to like randomly come check it. It tells you, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm short on pizzas. Oh my god, I love that. Okay,
Speaker 1: and look, we've got one minute left to go, and
Speaker 1: then we're going to have a fresh, hot, freshly baked
Speaker 1: pizza out of a vending machine. I love this. Can't
Speaker 1: wait to try. I want to I want to get
Speaker 1: something else too.
Speaker 9: Sure, what would you like?
Speaker 1: The one that we talked about that's in northern California
Speaker 1: only had pizza. So what else.
Speaker 9: Is pretty good, very proper.
Speaker 1: Let's do that. Okay. So we got our pizza and
Speaker 1: we got our mac and cheese, and that took like
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes, and then we even got
Speaker 1: a dessert. It was a hot chocolate lava cake with
Speaker 1: fruit and hot marshmallow topping. So now it's time to
Speaker 1: taste vending machine pizza started out cold cooked in what
Speaker 1: three minutes? And here it is piping hot. Oh great,
Speaker 1: that's pizza out of a vending machine. So you've got
Speaker 1: two conction and got two ovens. Two ovens, yeah, one
Speaker 1: for pizza and one for the rest. So is it
Speaker 1: stacked in the machine? It pulls it out and puts
Speaker 1: it into the.
Speaker 9: Once we're done, I'll open the machine. It's just I
Speaker 9: think the message we're trying to push was new technology.
Speaker 9: Your creativity possibilities are imminent, a lot of them. And
Speaker 9: so you know all you have to do is create.
Speaker 9: Were ex constantly experimenting with different dishes constantly. You got
Speaker 9: the chef in our commissary. She always comes up with
Speaker 9: new ideas. So every two to three months we add
Speaker 9: at least two dishes.
Speaker 1: Okay, So then I everything's made fresh? Or then do
Speaker 1: you freeze it?
Speaker 9: Everything is actually everything is made fresh and delivered to
Speaker 9: the machines.
Speaker 1: Oh, there's no So it's just refrigerated. It's not frozen.
Speaker 9: No, it's refrigerator. It's you know, it expires in five days,
Speaker 9: but usually sells out in two days.
Speaker 1: So and I do you have to personally taste test
Speaker 1: everything before you can put it in there? Or not?
Speaker 9: Every meal? We have a very good chef with European experience,
Speaker 9: with American experience vers Israeli experience.
Speaker 1: So and so is the chef working every day because
Speaker 1: you're replenishing the machines as they needed quality control.
Speaker 9: I mean, obviously Lione cooks are cooking the chef does
Speaker 9: quality control and chef does creativity creation of new dishes
Speaker 9: that happens pretty much every.
Speaker 1: Day, well compliments to the chef. There are ten of
Speaker 1: these foodture f oo d t u r E footure

Speaker 1: but do go check it out at Amy K.
Speaker 8: King.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The National Weather
Speaker 1: Services higher temperatures are in the forecast for parts of
Speaker 1: southern California next week. Forecasters say the Inland Empire, particularly
Speaker 1: will be one hundred degrees or hotter next Tuesday, Wednesday
Speaker 1: and Thursday. The Weather Services charts show ridges of high
Speaker 1: pressure move through the Great Basin of Nevada and Utah,
Speaker 1: and that's going to influence our weather after Labor Day.
Speaker 1: On the flip side, overnight lows are going to be
Speaker 1: in the mid sixties, nice and mellow. The owner of
Speaker 1: Langer's Deli near downtown La says he is hopeful about
Speaker 1: keeping his business open after meeting with Mayor Bass.
Speaker 10: The streets around the Delhi are crowded with food and
Speaker 10: merchandise vendors, as well as drug addicted homeless people who
Speaker 10: are camped out in the area. CEO Norm Langer says
Speaker 10: if the city doesn't clear the streets, he'll be closing
Speaker 10: his doors for good.
Speaker 8: I think the biggest thing that's going to hurt is
Speaker 8: that I'm going to put forty union people out of work,
Speaker 8: and that hurts because a lot of these people have
Speaker 8: spent their life here.
Speaker 7: He says.
Speaker 10: The mayor sat down with him Tuesday, hurt his concerns,
Speaker 10: and told him she'd get back with him in about
Speaker 10: a week. Langer's customers say they'll be devastated if the
Speaker 10: iconic deli shuts down after seventy seven years in the city.
Speaker 1: Chris Sadler KFI News, Okay, crime is so bad in Oakland.
Speaker 1: How bad is it? It's so bad that in the
Speaker 1: middle of a life saving rescue by Oakland firefighter, someone
Speaker 1: stole the jaws of life. It's true. Firefighters responded to
Speaker 1: a car crash on Friday night and the cars involved
Speaker 1: were just mangled and at least one person was trapped inside.
Speaker 1: So they pull out these jaws of life. They weigh
Speaker 1: about fifty pounds and they use that to cut through
Speaker 1: the records and rescue the person. Well after they used
Speaker 1: the jaws, Oakland police say firefighters put it down and
Speaker 1: when they turned around, someone had stolen it. Apparently the
Speaker 1: fire Department is working with police to try to recover
Speaker 1: the missing jaws of life. What the heck is wrong
Speaker 1: with people? The tents have already returned to a large
Speaker 1: homeless camp at Knackweiler State Beach days after it was cleared.
Speaker 1: Last week. Cleanup crews removed trash clothes in tents overlapping
Speaker 1: jurisdictions from city, county, and state manage the beach. Critics
Speaker 1: are saying that's the main reason the problem's been largely ignored.
Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy, Junior's name will remain on ballance in Michigan.
Speaker 1: In Wisconsin, he requested his name be taken off since
Speaker 1: he has suspended his campaign, but election officials in those
Speaker 1: swing states say he's going to stay on because of
Speaker 1: legal technicalities. Kennedy, who has endorsed former President Trump, said
Speaker 1: he wanted to remove his name from those ballots in
Speaker 1: the key battleground states to help Trump. A new study
Speaker 1: shows there's a link I love this between living in
Speaker 1: a tree lined neighborhood and improved heart health. Researchers at
Speaker 1: the University of Louisville say in low income neighborhoods with trees,
Speaker 1: people had a thirteen percent lower level of blood markers
Speaker 1: linked to heart attacks, heart disease, stroke, and some types
Speaker 1: of can cancer. We're just minutes away from handle on
Speaker 1: the news this morning. Vice President Harris and Minnesota Governor
Speaker 1: Walls are sitting down for an interview with CNN tonight.
Speaker 1: It's Harris's first interview since she announced she's running for
Speaker 1: president more than a month ago. Let's say good morning
Speaker 1: now to ABC's Steven Portnoy, and we'll go from Harris
Speaker 1: over to Trump. And Trump apparently can't do any anything right,
Speaker 1: not even when he visits Arlington National Cemetery to honor
Speaker 1: the soldiers killed in the suicide bombing during the US
Speaker 1: withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Speaker 4: Your characterization maybe not mine, but let me just explain
Speaker 4: what we're talking about. This is a controversy that's been
Speaker 4: building since Tuesday, when NPR was first to report that
Speaker 4: there was an altercation at the cemetery between Trump campaign
Speaker 4: staffers and a cemetery official who was trying to enforce
Speaker 4: the federal law that prohibits campaign related activities on the
Speaker 4: grounds of America's national military cemeteries. Now, the Trump campaign
Speaker 4: says that this particular staffer was suffering a mental episode
Speaker 4: and was deranged in some way.
Speaker 1: Is Wait, the Trump staffer was sufferings.
Speaker 4: No, the cemetery staff cemetery staffer.
Speaker 1: Okay, right, let me.
Speaker 4: Take that again. The Trump campaign as saying that the
Speaker 4: army official who tried to enforce the federal law was
Speaker 4: suffering some sort of mental episode. Okay, expressed some sort
Speaker 4: of derangement as she tried to prevent the Trump aids
Speaker 4: from going on and taking video and photographs of Trump
Speaker 4: posing for pictures with the family members. This happened in
Speaker 4: Section sixty of Arlington Cemetery, where America's most recent war
Speaker 4: dead are buried. And while the family members who posed
Speaker 4: for the photographs said that they invited Trump and they
Speaker 4: were glad to have him there, there are other family
Speaker 4: members who've spoken to news organizations who were not there,
Speaker 4: who say that they see this as disgraceful that their
Speaker 4: loved ones gravesite would be used as a backdrop for
Speaker 4: a political campaign photo op. This all happened on the
Speaker 4: third year marking the deaths of thirteen American service members
Speaker 4: who were killed in the suicide bombing at Abbey Gate.
Speaker 1: That was where there was.
Speaker 4: The outside the Kabble Airport during the frenetic, chaotic US
Speaker 4: withdrawal from Afghanistan in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: JD.
Speaker 4: Vance was asked about this yesterday at a Camp PA
Speaker 4: stop in Erie, Pennsylvania, and here's what he said, unprompted.
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris is so asleep at the wheel that she
Speaker 5: won't even do an investigation into what happened. And she
Speaker 5: wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up.
Speaker 1: She can go to hell. JD.
Speaker 4: Vans yesterday in Erie, Pennsylvania. And the crass language that
Speaker 4: he used yesterday about the vice president is also getting attention.
Speaker 4: The I mean, I don't even know where else to
Speaker 4: go with this except to say that the Trump campaign
Speaker 4: says that there's video of this altercation which has not
Speaker 4: been released. I don't know how it would benefit the
Speaker 4: Trump campaign to have it be released. But yesterday there
Speaker 4: was a mashup we used to call it a montage
Speaker 4: of the Trump appearance at Arlington that was released by
Speaker 4: the Trump campaign on TikTok okay.
Speaker 1: And you say altercation. When I think of altercation, I
Speaker 1: think of a physical fight. Was it a verbal fight?
Speaker 1: Was there pushing and shoving? Do we know?
Speaker 4: Well, we don't know it has been described that way
Speaker 4: by the NPR reporter who first broke the story on Tuesday,
Speaker 4: and it has been described as an incident by the Army,
Speaker 4: which released a statement following the report. And I don't
Speaker 4: know what else to say about it except that you
Speaker 4: have the Trump people saying that this person was mentally
Speaker 4: unstable and deranged. You have the Army saying that this
Speaker 4: individual who works for the cemetery was trying to enforce
Speaker 4: the federal law prohibiting campaign activities. You have the NPR
Speaker 4: reporter who has sources saying it was a physical altercation.
Speaker 4: And you have the Trump campaign denying that but saying
Speaker 4: there's video of it, which they threaten to release and
Speaker 4: haven't released. You have the New York Times reporting that
Speaker 4: this Army official has declined to press charges because she
Speaker 4: fears some sort of blowback or harassment from Trump supporters
Speaker 4: on the internet or otherwise. It is a messy situation.
Speaker 4: And you have have the vice presidential nominee of the
Speaker 4: Republican Party telling the sitting vice president to go to hell.
Speaker 1: Well there's that. Could Trump be in real trouble for
Speaker 1: this or is it not him directly? Or do we
Speaker 1: even I don't know about trouble.
Speaker 4: Look, I mean, I think at the end of the
Speaker 4: days for public consumption, it's for the Americans to decide
Speaker 4: how they feel about it. And some people might say
Speaker 4: it's no big deal and much ado about nothing. And
Speaker 4: by the way, the family members of those who pose
Speaker 4: for pictures agree with that sentiment that they wanted Trump.
Speaker 4: They're glad that Trump was there, They're upset that Kamala
Speaker 4: Harris and Joe Biden were not there, and that that
Speaker 4: is something that they want paid attention to. And there
Speaker 4: are others who say that this is an example of
Speaker 4: Trump making himself the center of the story and violating
Speaker 4: forms and rules when it comes to things like this.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we've got sixty eight days until the election.
Speaker 1: I'm expecting to see lots more things like this.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, ABC, Stephen Portner, thank you for filling
Speaker 1: in some of the blanks for us. We appreciate it.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
Speaker 1: City of la is looking to speed up its hiring
Speaker 1: process for government jobs.
Speaker 5: Applicants are often tied up in bureaucracy and lengthy reviews,
Speaker 5: leading many city jobs to remain unfilled. City council Woman
Speaker 5: Monica Rodriguez says the current hiring process takes too long,
Speaker 5: in part because of time spent going after candidates who've
Speaker 5: moved on.
Speaker 13: We shouldn't be laboring and exhausting staff time for candidates
Speaker 13: that are demonstrating a disinterest in continuing in the process.
Speaker 5: The city council voted to have a report on how
Speaker 5: individual departments may be better suited to handle their own
Speaker 5: hiring in downtown La Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: A group has sued to challenge the environmental study used
Speaker 1: to approve Orange County's first veteran cemetery in Anaheim Hills.
Speaker 1: Lawyer Beverly Grossman Palmer says the city submitted a misleading
Speaker 1: study that does not help the state decide.
Speaker 11: Whether it really does make sense to put that cemetery
Speaker 11: in Gypsum Canyon or whether the site in Irvine on
Speaker 11: the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro might be
Speaker 11: preferable from both a cost and historic perspective.
Speaker 1: Irvine tried for years but couldn't get the community to
Speaker 1: agree on a location within the Great Park Anaheims Mayer says,
Speaker 1: Since then, all thirty four cities in Orange County and
Speaker 1: the Veteran community have agreed to Gypsum Canyon. Newport Beach
Speaker 1: has cast off its fifteenth public pier, plugged in an
Speaker 1: electric boat charging station, and launched Sparky, a new electric
Speaker 1: patrol boat.
Speaker 2: A state grant paid for half of the quarter million
Speaker 2: dollar boat, which Newport Harbor Master Paul Blank says is
Speaker 2: the first electric patrol boat for a public agency in
Speaker 2: the nation.
Speaker 3: It seems very fitting that the first all electric work
Speaker 3: boat would be delivered to Newport Harbor, where the first
Speaker 3: all electric recreational boat was invented a little more than
Speaker 3: fifty years.
Speaker 2: Ago, he says. In addition to the new pier, so
Speaker 2: Cow's first electric boat charging station also open Tuesday to
Speaker 2: serve the more than two thousand electric recreational boats in
Speaker 2: Newport Harbor. In Newport Beach, Corbin Carson KFI.
