We got Olympics, we 11 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.560 got opening ceremony. We have arson attacks. We're going to 12 00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.560 tell you about that. That's making a mess of the 13 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.880 train system in Paris right now. And I got to 14 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.400 tell you that over the next couple of weeks, we 15 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.599 are going to be giving you Olympic results, and we 16 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:13.640 don't want to spoil it for you, so we do 17 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.000 have a spoiler alert. I'm going to play it for 18 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:17.239 you so you know what it sounds like. 19 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:24.359 Borning Olympic spoiler alert, spoiler. 20 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.280 Alert, boiler alert alert. 21 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.159 Oiler alert. 22 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:27.760 There you go. 23 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.359 Whenever you hear that, Just know that we're gonna announce 24 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.519 the results of something. So if you haven't watched the 25 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.799 particular competition yet, we won't wreck it for you. Finally, 26 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.159 it's going to cool down a little bit. Still hot, 27 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.519 but no heat advisory. So excited about that. As I mentioned, 28 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.280 lots going on, here's what's ahead on wake up Call. 29 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.519 France's high speed rail network has been hit with what's 30 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:55.239 being called widespread criminal acts of vandalism, including three fires 31 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.920 set near the tracks, which has paralyzed travel to Paris 32 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.840 from across the rest of Frants and Europe hours before 33 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.200 opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Barack and Michelle Obama have 34 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.879 endorsed Kamala Harris for president. The former first couple released 35 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.080 a video this morning showing the vice president on the 36 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.360 phone with Obama. He said that he and Michelle couldn't 37 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.639 be prouder to endorse her. We're going to talk more 38 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.199 about this with ABC's Karen Travers. That's coming up in 39 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.479 just about three minutes. Ride share drivers can continue to 40 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.479 be independent contractors. The California Supreme Court ruled to uphold 41 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.280 Proposition twenty two yesterday, which allows Uber and lyft drivers 42 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.120 to operate as contractors rather than employees. As I mentioned, 43 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.000 we're going to be talking Olympics a lot. We're going 44 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.960 to check in with ABC's Inez Delakatezara, who's in Paris 45 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.080 for the opening ceremony along the sin for the twenty 46 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.680 twenty four Summer Olympic Games. Jason Nathansen has what's new 47 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.840 on the big screen, and it's expected to be a 48 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.080 big weekend that's coming up before the top of the hour. 49 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.800 We're also going home with Dean Sharp to talk about 50 00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:01.039 staying cool. And there's a massive convention opening this weekend 51 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.479 in Long Beach. If you love Halloween, you're going to 52 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.400 want to be there, and we've got a four pack 53 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.400 of VIP passes for you to attend. It's the Midsummer Scream. 54 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.680 We're going to tell you about that in like about 55 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.439 seven minutes at six so five. It is handled on 56 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.719 the news. I'm sure he's much better than his name, 57 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.879 but El Mayo has been taken into custody. Wouldn't wouldn't 58 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.080 want to get into it with him, but he sounds 59 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.759 like Manny's. Let's get started with some of the stories 60 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.120 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Governor 61 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.039 Newsom has asked local officials to start making a plan 62 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:34.439 to clear homeless camps. 63 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.360 The Governor's executive order direct state agencies to clear out 64 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.439 camps humanly, but he's got no direct control over cities 65 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.360 and counties. The La County Board of Supervisors meeting next 66 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.800 Tuesday is expected to include La Mayor Bass and Sheriff Luna. 67 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.960 They'll discuss their local plan to continue a regional response 68 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.240 to homelessness. Newsom's order follows a recent Supreme Court ruling 69 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.800 allowing governments to enforce laws banning people from sleeping outside 70 00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.800 on x. The governor says, no more excuses. The state 71 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.479 has provided the time and the funds Now it's time 72 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.199 for the locals to do their jobs. Michael Monks KFI News. 73 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:11.520 California is seeing its largest wildfire of the year. It's 74 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.800 burning near Chico. Calfire's Rick Carhart says the fire has 75 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.319 burned more than one hundred and sixty four thousand acres 76 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.240 in just a couple of days. Thousands of people have 77 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:21.480 been forced to leave their homes. 78 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.680 Unfortunately, we live in an area with a lot of brush, 79 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.879 a lot of brass growth, and it gets hot and 80 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.199 it gets dry in the summertime, and that is a 81 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.319 recipe for fires. 82 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.879 Carhart says communities in Butte and Tehama Counties are under 83 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.800 evacuation orders. The areas haven't seen a lot of fire 84 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.879 in recent history. One man has been arrested for arson 85 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.759 for allegedly starting the fire by pushing a burning car 86 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.959 into a gully. The Trump campaign is arguing debates cannot 87 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.399 be scheduled until the Democratic nominee is official, even though 88 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.160 President Biden was not officially the nominee at the last one. 89 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.759 Trump communications director Stephen Chung says the Democratic Party is 90 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.199 still holding out for someone better than Harris. Jung says 91 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.439 it would be inappropriate to schedule a debate with Harris 92 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.000 because Democrats could change their minds. Get this. Fast food 93 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.040 restaurants around La can charge you ten cents for a bag. 94 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.519 A city ordinance was passed back in twenty twenty three, 95 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.800 or actually in twenty thirteen. It was amended in twenty 96 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.120 twenty three to include restaurants, so now McDonald's and Chick 97 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.279 fil A's and others may charge you a dime for 98 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.279 reusable bags. Chick fil a says it's up to its 99 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.279 franchisees to decide whether to take on that extra ten 100 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.920 cents or not. Not getting a bag apparently is not 101 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.519 an option. Right now, let's say good morning too, ABC's 102 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.600 Karen Travers. So a little development overnight, Karen, the Obamas 103 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.040 have thrown their support behind Kamala Harris for president. 104 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.079 Yeah, this is significant that she's getting this major endorsement 105 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.600 as her campaign has finishing up this first week where 106 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.920 she's been out on the campaign trail for states in 107 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.839 four days. There was a phone call that the campaign 108 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.120 out a video of where she's talking to the Obamas. 109 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.720 You hear for the former president say that they called 110 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.399 her to say that Michelle and I could be to 111 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.160 endorse you and to do everything we can to get 112 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.199 you through this election and into the Oval office. The 113 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.600 vice president says, oh my goodness, Michelle Barack, this means 114 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.800 so much to me. You know, the Obama, the former president, 115 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.279 had been the most prominent Democrat to have not yet 116 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.399 come out and endorsed her, and it was notable. Everybody 117 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:28.959 was kind of waiting to see when that was going 118 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.519 to happen. Not that he wasn't going to, but just 119 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.720 why hadn't he Because you know, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, 120 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.839 there was such a flurry of outpouring of support for 121 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.160 the Vice president and he had put out a statement 122 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.680 on Sunday but notably didn't mention her. So here it 123 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.879 is today, and now the big question will be how 124 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.720 much campaigning do they do and where do they go 125 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.040 to be the most helpful for her and what that 126 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.439 does to potentially rev up voters for her campaign. 127 00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.600 Well, probably anywhere they go is going to be helpful 128 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:03.519 to her, right, Yeah, absolutely, He's still wildly popular. 129 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:07.319 Wildly popular and incredible ability to turn out people for events. 130 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:09.839 You have to think that also turns out people to vote. 131 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.319 And I think it's you know, part of the message 132 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.639 that we've been hearing from the president and now you 133 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.279 know the campaign about the passing of the torch. He 134 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.040 can put that message out there too, and you know, 135 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.800 talk about her as this next generation of Democratic leaders 136 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.000 and talk about what she will do for the party, 137 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.199 but also tying her to still you know, the policies 138 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.759 and accomplishments of the Biden Harris administration, which you know, 139 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.600 we've heard so much in the last couple of weeks 140 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.120 that as there have been all these calls in the 141 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.079 pressure campaign on the President to step out of this race. 142 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.079 That you know, Barack Obama's been very careful with his 143 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.439 conversations with the president. That you know, he's very protective 144 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.959 of his former vice president and the agenda and record 145 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.519 of this administration. So I think he can be a 146 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.800 very effective messenger out there talking about what they have 147 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.160 done and pushing back on the attacks of the Trump campaign. 148 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.000 Okay, and now that she has pretty much everybody's endorsement 149 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.319 from the Democratic Party, I don't think there's any holdouts. 150 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.319 She's out on the campaign trail. And yesterday I think 151 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.319 I think this was very interesting that she and President 152 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:23.040 Biden both met with Prime Minister Netanyahu, but they met 153 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:27.079 with him separately, and then she was the one who 154 00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.279 came out and made comments after that, not President Biden. 155 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.279 You know, I will say the President never does that. 156 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.039 He rarely unless he's doing it with the world leader 157 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.600 comes out and gives remarks after a meeting, we get 158 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.360 to read out paper statement from the White House. But 159 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.639 yesterday was notable to have her do this separate meeting 160 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.679 and then come out and speak to cameras afterwards to 161 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.679 talk about the meeting, which she said was frank and constructive. 162 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.000 She said there has been hopeful movement to secure the 163 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.480 deal for a ceasefire, get the hostages released, and she 164 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:00.679 said that she told the Prime Minister it's time to 165 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.519 get this deal done. You know. I think it's important 166 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:06.120 to note that we had gotten indications from the White 167 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.559 House last week that or maybe was even the week before, 168 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.399 that she would likely have her own meeting with the 169 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.720 Prime Minister, that the President would meet with him, and 170 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:16.759 she would also have a meeting as she's done with 171 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.279 some world leaders. So it was on the books before 172 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.639 all of this political turmoil happened this week. Still, it 173 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:27.519 gave her a very big opportunity to show herself at 174 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.759 the center, you know, with the key player of a 175 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.080 very big foreign policy for this administration and looking like 176 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:34.759 a leader. 177 00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:35.159 Yeah. 178 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.200 I still think it's weird that they met separately, but 179 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.720 maybe that's just me. Karen Travers, thank you so much 180 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.519 for the information.

The fast moving fire 290 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.440 started on Wednesday. Two communities are under evacuation orders. A 291 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.080 man's been arrested for allegedly starting the fire. By pushing 292 00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.679 a burning car into a goalie.

We're going to talk 301 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.120 more about that with ABC's Jason Nathanson coming up before 302 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:27.840 the end of the hour at six oh five. It's 303 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:29.919 handle on the news. Governor Newsom has made a move 304 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.720 to get homeless camps cleared out of California. Right now, 305 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.320 let's say good morning to ABC's Innez de la Caatera 306 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:44.519 in Paris, bonjour. Sure, we are, of course talking about 307 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.600 the Olympics, and I'm so excited because for the next 308 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.559 couple of weeks we get to talk to you every 309 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:51.120 day at this time, so you can give us the 310 00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.879 latest on the competition and the fun stories you discover, 311 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.399 and of course the all important metal count as we 312 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:02.159 go through the Olympics. But this morning before opening ceremonies, 313 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.120 there was this weird attack on the trains and that's 314 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:09.799 got everything kind of in a state of chaos right now. Yeah, 315 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:10.159 that's right. 316 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.519 So that is a big story on the security front 317 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.879 this morning, this massive arson attack on the railway system. 318 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.639 So according to the French rail company, there were a 319 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.679 number of fires sent at different railway stations around the country. 320 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.559 Officials say those attacks were meant to damage installations and 321 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:29.480 destabilize the railway system. They are calling it a coordinated attack. 322 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.480 In some places, they say at cables were also cut 323 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.120 and it does appear that high speed rail lines were 324 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:37.759 the target here, so even the Eurostar train from London, 325 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:40.639 for instance, was affected. They're saying that in all over 326 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.600 eight hundred thousand passengers will have been affected and they're 327 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.559 expecting this to last for a few days. They don't 328 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:49.559 think the rail network will be back up and running 329 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.320 until the end of the weekend, probably next week. So 330 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.240 it's certainly going to have an impact on people, you know, 331 00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:56.480 who were hoping to make it to Paris in time 332 00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.080 for the opening ceremony today. 333 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:00.639 And as you know, I mean just some people come 334 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.559 in and out because the train system is so good normally, 335 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.400 or do people come to Paris and stay for the 336 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:07.599 whole Olympics. 337 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:09.240 Yeah, that's a great point. 338 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.559 I do think there are a lot of people planning 339 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.359 to just come for day trips or you know, stay 340 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.240 in one night and then head back. You know, we 341 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:19.319 know that there can be anywhere from eleven to fifteen 342 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:21.880 million tourists coming to Paris for the Olympics, but they 343 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.279 did say that they're expecting the majority of them to 344 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:28.440 be from France, French citizens, and so we're expecting those 345 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.160 tourists to be you know, potentially planning short trips, you know, 346 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:36.200 weekend trips, a day or two here and there. But yeah, 347 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:37.880 so I mean, if if your train is canceled, it's 348 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.599 certainly going to have a big impact on plans like that. 349 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.000 Okay, well now, so let's move on to happier things. 350 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:45.599 We're opening ceremony is tonight. It's going to be like 351 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:46.960 no other What are we going to see? 352 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.240 Yeah, the opening ceremony. So I'm personally very excited. I 353 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:52.519 think it's going to be spectacular. 354 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:53.079 But this will be the. 355 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.200 First time in history that an opening ceremony is held 356 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.240 outside of a stadium. So it was this grand, ambitious 357 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:00.680 plan that they came up with, and I think there 358 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:02.480 was a lot of skepticism. You even had the French 359 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:05.359 presidents at one point saying that initially it felt like 360 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.480 a crazy and not very serious idea, but they do 361 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:10.839 seem to be, you know, close to pulling it off. 362 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.680 So they're going to have both sailing down the river, said, 363 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:16.359 right through the heart of Paris, sailing by all these 364 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:20.839 iconic landmarks, the notredn Cathedral, the Louver Museum, the Eiffel Tower, 365 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:24.839 and it's going to be ninety four both seven thousand athletes, 366 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.920 three point seven miles of sailing you know, down the river, 367 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.279 and all sorts of performances alongside that, so you know, 368 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:37.160 we're expecting kind of acrobats and dancers and musicians. They've 369 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:39.960 been I will say, they've been quite secretive about the 370 00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:42.880 exact lineup, so they do want there to be an 371 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:46.839 element of surprise. So there's speculation that Lady Gogoth for instance, 372 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:52.000 could potentially participate, but the Celine Dion, but Olympics organizers 373 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.200 have not confirmed that they want there to be, you know, 374 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:56.599 an element of surprise. 375 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.599 Okay, and I know you have to go because and 376 00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:01.119 As is a woman in demand for the next couple 377 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.920 of weeks all over the country. Do we know who's 378 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:05.640 going to light the cauldron? 379 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:09.839 We do not know. I don't believe. I mean, unless 380 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.640 that broke in the last few couple hours, I don't 381 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.319 think we know who's going to like the cauldron. We 382 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:16.880 know that Lebron James and Cocoa Golf are going to 383 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:20.039 be the flag bears for tm USA. We know that 384 00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:21.799 Snoop Dog is going to be one of the final 385 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:25.559 kind of uh torch torch bearers. He's going to be 386 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.720 part of that relay Tillards, you know, in the last 387 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:31.039 leg of that torch relay journey. But I don't think 388 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:32.839 we know who's going to light the cauldron yet. 389 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:35.680 Okay, Well, that's another reason to watch in Azila Kata 390 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.400 with ABC in Paris. Thank you so much. We can't 391 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:40.079 wait to talk to you Monday to find out about 392 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.119 the gymnastics and the swimming and everything that goes on 393 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:44.559 over the weekend. Have a wonderful time. 394 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.319 Au revoir, Thank you so much. 395 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.559 All Right, Okay, let's get back to some of the 396 00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:52.799 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom 397 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:54.559 so excited that we get to check in with her. 398 00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.839 I don't know about you. I get obsessed with the Olympics, 399 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.359 especially the first half of the Summer Olympics, because I 400 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.799 really get into the swimming, and I love the diving, 401 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:05.920
