Speaker 3: of his life in prison if convicted. Justin Halstenberg is
Speaker 3: facing nine felony charges. He's expected to be arraigned today.
Speaker 3: That fires burned almost thirty eight thousand acres. California's investment
Speaker 3: in law enforcement to catch thieves, apparently paying off fifty
Speaker 3: five cities and counties, got a shaff two hundred and
Speaker 3: sixty seven million dollars in funding to fight crime last October.
Speaker 3: It's led to more than sixty nine hundred arrests for
Speaker 3: retail and property crime in just six months. Governor Newsom
Speaker 3: says the state is funding the police and reaping results well.
Speaker 3: As we've seen, wildfires can destroy your home and literally

Speaker 2: going to be.
Speaker 3: Checking in with ABC's Jim Ryan on something that is
Speaker 3: weighing heavily on a lot of people in the US
Speaker 3: that's coming up in just a couple of minutes. Let's
Speaker 3: get started with some of the stories coming out of
Speaker 3: the KFI twenty four hour news room. A couple of fires,
Speaker 3: not wildfires, have broken out around town. Firefighters are at
Speaker 3: the scene of a fire at a three story apartment
Speaker 3: building on North Bunker Hill in Chinatown, and fire crews
Speaker 3: have knocked down a fire that damaged an autobody shop
Speaker 3: overnight in Canoga Park. The fire was reported shortly before
Speaker 3: two am. All five bays in the shop on West
Speaker 3: Galt Street were burning when firefighters arrived on scene. It
Speaker 3: took eighty two firefighters about an hour to put the
Speaker 3: flames out. Cruise fighting the fire that started in sand
Speaker 3: and Gabriel Canyon above Glendora say decreased winds and higher
Speaker 3: humidity have helped slow the fire. They spent yesterday doing
Speaker 3: water and retardant drops and protecting homes and other buildings
Speaker 3: that are still threatened by a fire that's burned more
Speaker 3: than fifty one thousand acres and about forty homes near
Speaker 3: the San Gabriel Mountains. Evacuation orders are still in effect
Speaker 3: for several communities, including Mount Baldy, Rightwood and Pinion Hills,
Speaker 3: a landmark in the San Bernardino National Forest has been
Speaker 3: destroyed by the fire that started in Highland.
Speaker 4: The Keller Peak Fire Overlook had helped firefighters since nineteen
Speaker 4: twenty six and drawn countless visitors to San Bernardino County
Speaker 4: for its views. Sheriff Shannon dyke As says of firefighters
Speaker 4: emotional announcement of the overlooks destruction captures a common feeling.
Speaker 5: I think that's why you're seeing that emotional impact from
Speaker 5: all of us. And last night you saw that from
Speaker 5: a firefighter who's also a resident. So they've got a
Speaker 5: foot in both camps. As it relates to the history
Speaker 5: of that tower.

Speaker 7: There's a lot at stake here.
Speaker 3: John Holden, with the Machinist Union said the workers deserve better.
Speaker 3: The workers walked off the job after rejecting a union
Speaker 3: approved tenetive agreement with Boeing yesterday Boeing says it is
Speaker 3: ready to renegotiate. Former President Trump says he won't be
Speaker 3: doing any more debates with Vice President Harris. Trump criticized
Speaker 3: the vice president's performance at the ABC debate on Tuesday.
Speaker 8: Parras showed up spewing empty rhetoric, the same old lies,
Speaker 8: meaningless platitudes, offering no plans, no policies, and no details whatsoever.
Speaker 6: Nothing.
Speaker 2: Harris says she thinks it's important that they have another debate.
Speaker 3: Because this election and what is at stake could not
Speaker 3: be more important. Trump claimed he won Tuesday Nights to debate,

Speaker 3: just sent me a an X.
Speaker 2: I still want to say tweet, don't you?
Speaker 9: Oh, I agree with you?
Speaker 2: He just sent me.
Speaker 3: I always well, so yeah, Friday the thirteenth, we were
Speaker 3: talking about it is a spooky and are you scared
Speaker 3: of it? And mister Rogers put out a tweet saying,
Speaker 3: let's start children out thinking that Friday thirteenth is actually
Speaker 3: a fun day. We would celebrate his birthday every time
Speaker 3: a Friday the thirteenth came, So happy birthday to King
Speaker 3: Friday the thirteenth. I don't think I remember that his
Speaker 3: name was King Friday the thirteenth, it was just King
Speaker 3: Friday or did we make it up. Anyway, it's a
Speaker 3: beautiful day in the neighborhood, and it's a beautiful time
Speaker 3: for us to talk to ABC's Jim Ryan.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Jim.
Speaker 10: I think he had Yeah, it was King Friday and
Speaker 10: the Papa there and he had thirteen and Roman numerals
Speaker 10: on front of his little castle.
Speaker 2: X I I right, I love that. I don't think
Speaker 2: I ever realized this.
Speaker 10: Maybe paid too much. If we're talking about Aaron Rodgers here, right.
Speaker 3: Mister Rogers, mister Rogers, Okay, Jim, Yeah, No, if sands
Speaker 3: and butts about it, we're.
Speaker 10: Fat plenty of butts, lots and lots of butts about it.
Speaker 10: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One the way they
Speaker 10: came up with this, they called people all over the
Speaker 10: country amy and they said they had two main questions,
Speaker 10: how tall are you and how much do you weigh?
Speaker 10: And then they plug it all into the BMI calculator
Speaker 10: that you can find online. Put your own weight in
Speaker 10: your height in there and figure out where you fall
Speaker 10: in terms of the BMI. If you're above thirty, then
Speaker 10: you're considered obese, and it's a graded scale, and it
Speaker 10: you know, goes down goes up from there, But thirty
Speaker 10: is sort of the benchmark. So nationally, the CDC looks
Speaker 10: at the whole country to find out where we stand nationally.
Speaker 10: Not so good. If you look back to twenty thirteen,
Speaker 10: eleven years ago, not one state in the whole country
Speaker 10: had at OBCD rate topping thirty five percent. Now, eleven
Speaker 10: years later, nearly half the state have achieved that distinction.
Speaker 10: One nearly have. Twenty three states in all have obesity
Speaker 10: rates topping thirty five percent. That is, more than thirty
Speaker 10: five percent of the people are at a thirty or
Speaker 10: above in the BMI. So but I mean, the BMI
Speaker 10: is controversial. If you're bolt up your body builder and
Speaker 10: you're you're five foot eleven and two hundred and eighty
Speaker 10: pounds a football player, for example, you would still come
Speaker 10: across as obese, even if you're in great shape, or
Speaker 10: you may be super super skinny and your heart's in
Speaker 10: terrible shape, your lungs are shot, and you'd still come
Speaker 10: off as not obese. So I mean, there's a difference
Speaker 10: between being high on the on the BMI and being healthy,
Speaker 10: so just be careful with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's just one factor.
Speaker 3: And I think if I'm remembering correctly that for women
Speaker 3: twenty two is kind of your goal BMI and for
Speaker 3: men it's like seventeen or eighteen.
Speaker 10: Something like that. It's you may be right as far
Speaker 10: as these as far as the targets go, but you know,
Speaker 10: and it's easy enough to just go online google obesity
Speaker 10: calculator or BMI calculator rather and come up with the numbers,
Speaker 10: so you know, looking nationally, and the CDC puts out
Speaker 10: a map with this, and they love to do maps,
Speaker 10: and California I did. So if you're in the red
Speaker 10: or you're dark dark red, you're in pretty bad shape.
Speaker 2: All their color coded maps too. It is I love
Speaker 2: a good graphic.
Speaker 10: I know Arkansas and Mississippi or see some of the
Speaker 10: highest rates between forty five and fifty percent of their
Speaker 10: populations looking at at obesity rate people living with obesity.
Speaker 10: Texas better shape, and I know they do, and you
Speaker 10: can't blame them. But still California is in pretty darn
Speaker 10: good shape. You're some of the best in the country
Speaker 10: at twenty five to thirty percent. Colorado's in the best
Speaker 10: shape and yet still about one in five of the
Speaker 10: folks there are dealing with obesity down in it, you know,
Speaker 10: and there are lots of theories as to why. I'm
Speaker 10: sure you can think of some amy as to why
Speaker 10: this is happening in the last decade or so.
Speaker 2: What are some of those theories.
Speaker 10: Well, take a look at the pandemic. You know, people
Speaker 10: locked in their houses for a couple of years unless
Speaker 10: they had a peloton bike in there or something, or
Speaker 10: some way to exercise. They're getting food delivered right to
Speaker 10: their front door. And now, with so many people still
Speaker 10: working remotely, you don't even get the workout of walking
Speaker 10: to your car and walking into the office building and
Speaker 10: walking around the office and walking back outside. So people
Speaker 10: are missing out on some of that. I think that's
Speaker 10: a part of it. But you would think that might
Speaker 10: be offset in some way by the ozempics and these
Speaker 10: semaglutides and the other injectable weight loss drugs that seem
Speaker 10: to be working, and maybe we'll see the effect of
Speaker 10: those in the coming years.
Speaker 3: Do we have stats on how many people are doing
Speaker 3: like the ozepic and GOV and stuff.
Speaker 2: I know it's a lot, but.
Speaker 10: It is I haven't seen those stats. I'm sure they're
Speaker 10: out there, you know, but the CDC did not look
Speaker 10: at that. But you know, and the more people who
Speaker 10: are using those things, maybe we'll start to see some
Speaker 10: impact in the future.
Speaker 3: Well, except also be interested to see what happens when
Speaker 3: all those peoples get people get off those drugs.
Speaker 10: Well, that's true, because I've heard.
Speaker 2: That there's a pretty big ricochet.
Speaker 10: Well, I think you're right. I mean, it's like anything else.
Speaker 10: If you stop working out, you're going to gain weight
Speaker 10: or you're going to lose health. There is a survey
Speaker 10: out there showing that about one in eight adults in
Speaker 10: the US have used a drug like ozambic or monjar
Speaker 10: or one of those drugs. And so yeah, and that
Speaker 10: number is likely rising.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And did the CDC offer any recommendations for how we
Speaker 3: can change this culture and maybe get our fatness down?
Speaker 10: The same else, the same as the recognitions that always
Speaker 10: puts out, you know, to eat, write, get some exercise,
Speaker 10: move around a little bit more.
Speaker 2: If we only listen.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I don't know how you get people
Speaker 10: to listen. I mean, public awareness campaigns. That's why the
Speaker 10: CDC puts these figures out in the first place to
Speaker 10: get people to at least take a look at it,
Speaker 10: and you know, take a look around at other places
Speaker 10: where other people live and how they're doing.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 3: We got a beautiful weekend on the way in southern California.
Speaker 3: Side well, there's smokes. Will be careful if it's in
Speaker 3: a smoky area. But if it's not, it's cooled down.
Speaker 3: It's going to beautiful.
Speaker 10: Go take a walk, get on the bike, go for
Speaker 10: a walk, do something, Go out to the go out
Speaker 10: to the beach, do something. Come on to me.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think I will. All right, ABCS Jim right,
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Have a great weekend, have a
Speaker 3: happy Friday. The thirteen OO. Let's get back to some
Speaker 3: of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
Speaker 3: hour newsroom. A judge has ruled against a ban on
Speaker 3: new oil drilling in Los Angeles. The ruling says the state,
Speaker 3: not the city, has authority over drilling operations. The ban,
Speaker 3: that was unanimously passed by the LA City Council two
Speaker 3: years ago, mandated that all existing drilling operations cease within
Speaker 3: twenty years. A bill passed by the California legislature would
Speaker 3: override that judge's decision if the governor signs the bill.
Speaker 3: Anaheim police are investigating a teacher who allegedly fathered a
Speaker 3: child with one of his students. A woman told police
Speaker 3: last month that she had a sexual relationship with one
Speaker 3: of her teachers in the late nineteen eighties when she
Speaker 3: was a student at Loara High School in Anaheim. Detectives
Speaker 3: say another woman then told police she also had a
Speaker 3: relationship with Steve Graves when she was a minor and
Speaker 3: had a child with him. Graves has been placed on
Speaker 3: administrative leave by the Anaheim School District. The oc sheriff
Speaker 3: says several jail rehabilitation programs designed to keep people from
Speaker 3: returning to jail have been honored nationally.
Speaker 7: Or fifty percent of my population has some addiction.
Speaker 11: Issue, jeff Don Barnes says the programs honored by the
Speaker 11: National Institute of Corrections are meant to make it so
Speaker 11: people don't return to jail.
Speaker 7: I've become, by default, the county's mental health hospital, the
Speaker 7: largest detox facility, the largest drug treatment facility in the county,
Speaker 7: and I'm trying to get out of that business.
Speaker 6: Barn says.
Speaker 11: One program works to reduce the eleven hundred inmates on
Speaker 11: medical assisted drug treatment, which he says costs taxpayers millions
Speaker 11: of dollars, while others focus on detox and behavioral health
Speaker 11: crisis intervention in Orange County.
Speaker 6: Corbin Carson caff I News.
Speaker 3: San Diego State is one of four universities that plan
Speaker 3: to join the PAC twelve foot Ball Conference. SDSU, Colorado State,
Speaker 3: Fresno State, and Boise State will all join the last
Speaker 3: two teams left in the PAC twelve. It'll happen in
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty six twenty seven season. Everyone else, including
Speaker 3: USC and UCLA, have bailed to join other conferences. The
Speaker 3: PAC twelve, which now is just consisting of Oregon State
Speaker 3: and Washington State, needs two more schools to meet the
Speaker 3: NCAA minimum requirement. Right now, I think you can just
Speaker 3: call the conference the six pack. Falling temperatures or boosting
Speaker 3: firefighters efforts to get lines around the fire burning in
Speaker 3: Orange and Riverside Counties that has burned about twenty three
Speaker 3: thy five hundred acres. It's five percent surrounded. OC Fire
Speaker 3: Authority Captain Steve Concialdi says seven hundred and seventy firefighters
Speaker 3: are on the lines, with more on the Way. Dozens
Speaker 3: of aftershocks have rattled southern California following a four point
Speaker 3: seven magnitude earthquake near Malibu. There was a three point
Speaker 3: four just before five am today. The quake yesterday hit
Speaker 3: at seven.
Speaker 2: Twenty eight am.
Speaker 3: It was followed by after shocks, including some other three
Speaker 3: point fours. The US Geological survices there could be additional
Speaker 3: after shocks in the days ahead. Vice President Harris has
Speaker 3: returned to the campaign trail following Tuesday's debate. She held
Speaker 3: a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina yesterday. Polls in the
Speaker 3: key battleground state have shown that Harris and Trump are
Speaker 3: in an extremely tight race. A Democrat hasn't won the
Speaker 3: state of North Carolina since Barack Obama in two thousand
Speaker 3: and eight. At six oh five, it's handle on the news.
Speaker 3: Thirty thousand Boeing workers said no to their own union
Speaker 3: and voted down a contract. They've gone on strike. Now,
Speaker 3: let's say good morning. Now to ABC's Sherry Preston, I
Speaker 3: mentioned that Kamala Harris is on the campaign trail.
Speaker 2: You can bet on whether she's going to win or not.
Speaker 12: Well, you could, you could, but you can't anymore. Here's
Speaker 12: what happens. There's a startup trading. But there's a startup
Speaker 12: trading company called Calshi and they've been fighting based in
Speaker 12: New York. It's it's a venture capital com they started up.
Speaker 12: And what they and what they have done is they said,
Speaker 12: why shouldn't people not be able to bet on presidential elections?
Speaker 12: You can bet on their site on everything from when
Speaker 12: your next big California quake will be, to know how
Speaker 12: much the Federal Reserve is going to lower interest rates
Speaker 12: next week. And they were saying, why can't we just
Speaker 12: bet on presidential elections, bet on the outcome of the
Speaker 12: House and Senate races, bet on who's going to win
Speaker 12: the House and Senate. And they've been fighting for this
Speaker 12: for about three years. So they took yesterday a federal
Speaker 12: judge finally stepped in and said, you know what, we're
Speaker 12: going to let you do that. Yeah, we'll allow it. Well,
Speaker 12: federal regulators immediately after that announcement took the case to
Speaker 12: the Appelic Court in Washington, DC, and about eight thirty
Speaker 12: nine o'clock last night they issued a stay so they
Speaker 12: said they couldn't So if you go on that Calshi website, yesterday,
Speaker 12: because I did. Right after that judge had ruled. You
Speaker 12: could go on there and you could click and you
Speaker 12: could bet on the election for their very very hot
Speaker 12: second and then a couple hours later, now if you
Speaker 12: go on their website, what it will say is election
Speaker 12: vetting has been paused pending the outcome of more core cases.
Speaker 12: So an appeal is what happened, and that's what we're
Speaker 12: waiting for. You know, election regulators say there are all
Speaker 12: kinds of things that could be manipulated in an election
Speaker 12: if this is allowed. They're very much worried about the
Speaker 12: integrity of the election. They're saying that, you know, remember
Speaker 12: what happened with Game Stop, when when small investors stepped
Speaker 12: in and said, we're going to kind of make it
Speaker 12: hard for institutional investors, those who are investing for big
Speaker 12: companies to to to to you know, who think this
Speaker 12: dock should should succeed.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 12: Imagine a situation like that in a presidential election, when
Speaker 12: you already have so much writing on this, and what
Speaker 12: a lot of regulators and watchdog financial watchdogs are saying is,
Speaker 12: you know, we are already you know, it's a more
Speaker 12: like our democracy is already hanging by a thread according
Speaker 12: to them. You know, this would just make it that
Speaker 12: much worse and make it yet another thing that would
Speaker 12: be you know, could be ruled by money. So you know,
Speaker 12: I think we're gonna have to wait and see because
Speaker 12: I think there's gonna be more court cases with this,
Speaker 12: the fact that that one judge said yes and then
Speaker 12: it then it got stopped. I think there'll be other
Speaker 12: cases that are coming along, But for this one, we're
Speaker 12: gonna have to wait for the appeal to see if
Speaker 12: it'll happen, especially in the twenty twenty four race.
Speaker 3: Okay, So, Sherry, what is the name of the company
Speaker 3: if people wanted to go to the site you're saying, it's.
Speaker 12: Called kal Ka l s Hi. And you know you
Speaker 12: can already bet on pre US elections if you're not
Speaker 12: in the US. The biggest betting uh, you know, Parlay
Speaker 12: Group by far as Patty Power in the UK and
Speaker 12: you can bet on anything on Patty anything. And you know,
Speaker 12: you if you there is a link on there that
Speaker 12: says outcome of the US presidential race, and then when
Speaker 12: you go to it if you are in this country,
Speaker 12: it says due to regulations, you're not allowed to bet
Speaker 12: on this, So you're not in this country. If you
Speaker 12: were a UK citizen, you could bet on it and
Speaker 12: you were in the UK that but would be something
Speaker 12: that you could do in this country. It's not allowed.
Speaker 12: They bet on everything over there. I mean, you know
Speaker 12: you can already bet on everything. And see that's one
Speaker 12: of the reasons that all these online sports betting places have.
Speaker 10: Become so popular.
Speaker 12: Key people are just betting on the game. They're betting
Speaker 12: on you know, how high the tip off is going
Speaker 12: to be, Who's going to get the tip off, who's
Speaker 12: going to you know, any tiny little thing. And they're saying,
Speaker 12: if you open that to regulators, say, if you open
Speaker 12: that to political races there, that's just it's like a
Speaker 12: Pandora's box and what could be out there and what
Speaker 12: could be manipulated by bad actors?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, And you said that.
Speaker 3: The stay was issued very quickly, so the judge just
Speaker 3: ruled yesterday and then last night another court said I'll
Speaker 3: hold on. So then what what happens next? Is it
Speaker 3: going to keep moving that quickly? Because I would imagine
Speaker 3: that Calshi wants wants their pieces of the pie before
Speaker 3: this election, before this I.
Speaker 12: Would keep I would keep an eye on it because
Speaker 12: they haven't ruled anything onto what's next. So I think
Speaker 12: we're it's now it's in the stay, so it's in
Speaker 12: a legal fight, and I'm not sure like when the
Speaker 12: next arguments will be held or or the appeals will
Speaker 12: be held. So I think you're gonna have to keep
Speaker 12: an eye on it and see what happens with that.
Speaker 12: I mean, I was I was surprised wouldn't happen because
Speaker 12: I knew that this company had been had been fighting
Speaker 12: to get this for a couple of years since you know,
Speaker 12: they have been They see this as a way to
Speaker 12: make a lot of money, and they also see it
Speaker 12: as a way to let What they say is, let's
Speaker 12: let people decide on the election in real time. Whoever
Speaker 12: is betting that the election is going to win it,
Speaker 12: it's going to be better than polls because you actually
Speaker 12: have skin in the game, you have money in it. However,
Speaker 12: you know, it also is leaves it very wide open
Speaker 12: for manipulation. I mean, as we can all imagine, you know,
Speaker 12: somebody who has a whole lot of money, you know,
Speaker 12: putting it towards one way or the other, and that
Speaker 12: could sway what happened, so the reliability of it, you
Speaker 12: know it. You know, it's not the same as as
Speaker 12: actual polls. But they're arguing that maybe there are some
Speaker 12: things to be.
Speaker 2: Ganged from this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's one to watch and thank you so
Speaker 3: much for the information on this. Calci KLSHI and some
Speaker 3: of the websites haven't caught up yet with that. They've
Speaker 3: issued that stay. They're saying that the betting can go
Speaker 3: on right now, so.
Speaker 12: Exactly, but if you go on the CALSHI website right now,
Speaker 12: like for instance, okay, I'm on there now and I'm
Speaker 12: going to renew it, it says trading is paused on
Speaker 12: elections pending the core process. Things that you can can
Speaker 12: bet on on the site speak no Easel, rotten Tomato
Speaker 12: score seventy three percent, Hurricane hits New Orleans this year,
Speaker 12: twenty five percent. Chance you can bet on any of
Speaker 12: these things.
Speaker 2: Rich already rolled at the end.
Speaker 12: Of the year, I know exactly, and you could bet
Speaker 12: again on the next one. You know, number of rate
Speaker 12: cuts we're going to have in twenty twenty four from
Speaker 12: the Federal Reserve. I mean, any of those things that
Speaker 12: you can bet on that site now you can't bet
Speaker 12: On presidential election. However, as of right now, okay.
Speaker 3: And this site existed, and now I'm having fun looking
Speaker 3: at it.
Speaker 12: Cooked, I'm not going to I'm not crazy at stuff. Ever, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: So is temperature in New York City today that CPI
Speaker 3: on used cars in September.
Speaker 2: I mean, like weird stuff.
Speaker 3: The Rotten Tomatoes score of being above ninety for Transformers one.
Speaker 3: How could that possibly be? The latest Transformers movies have
Speaker 3: been awful? Okay, interesting stuff. Sherry Preston, thank you so
Speaker 3: much for the information.
Speaker 2: Take care, have a great weekend and have a happy
Speaker 2: Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 12: Oh I forgot you too.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Here's some of the stories coming out of the KFI
Speaker 3: twenty four hour newsroom. Some evacuation orders for a fire
Speaker 3: that started in Tribuco Canyon and Orange County have been
Speaker 3: downgraded to warnings. The fire has burned more than twenty
Speaker 3: three thousand acres since Monday. It's five percent surrounded. Cooler
Speaker 3: temperatures have helped crews make progress. They say there was
Speaker 3: a flare up yesterday in an unburned pocket north of
Speaker 3: Tribuco Canyon, but it's within the fire's existing perimeter. Cruse
Speaker 3: have been checking for hotspots along the Santiago Peak fire
Speaker 3: lines and using heavy equipment to create a dozer line
Speaker 3: toward Otega Highway. People who live near Mountain Baldy Village
Speaker 3: helped keep some homes from burning.
Speaker 13: As the fire began burning towards a group of homes
Speaker 13: in the village area, several neighbors began pumping water out
Speaker 13: of a stream and spraying hillside before cruise arrived. Dave
Speaker 13: Kitching says he was leaving the area when he spotted
Speaker 13: his neighbors fighting the fire and decided to join.
Speaker 10: Initially, when it broke around the saddle, I was freaked, truthfully,
Speaker 10: I mean I looked like an armag gedden, so I
Speaker 10: was ready to roll.
Speaker 6: A kitchen, says.
Speaker 13: Fire crews fought the fire through the night. Homes in
Speaker 13: the immediate area where the men worked were spared. In
Speaker 13: Mount Baldy Blake Trolly KFI.
Speaker 3: News Governor Newsom assigned a bill that'll bring back strict
Speaker 3: punishments for organized theft and smash and grab robberies. The
Speaker 3: new law will require harsher penalties for people who caused
Speaker 3: more than fifty thousand dollars worth of damage while committing
Speaker 3: a crime. A similar law was passed and was in
Speaker 3: place before, but it expired in twenty eighteen. Two planes
Speaker 3: have had a close call on a runway in Nashville,
Speaker 3: and Alaska Airlines flight headed to Seattle had to slam
Speaker 3: on the brakes in the middle of takeoff yesterday to
Speaker 3: avoid hitting a Southwest plane that was crossing the runway.
Speaker 3: Aviation analyst John Nance credits the Alaska Airlines pilot's decision
Speaker 3: to abort.
Speaker 10: The decision to stop was an important one it needed
Speaker 10: to be made in a split second.
Speaker 3: The FAA says the Southwest flight to Florida had been
Speaker 3: cleared to cross the end of the runway. There were
Speaker 3: no injuries. The Secret Service has announced there will be
Speaker 3: increased security at the Capitol during next year's certification of
Speaker 3: the electoral vote count. The Secret Service will also be
Speaker 3: taking over security in an effort to prevent a repeat
Speaker 3: of the twenty twenty one Capital riot. The fire threatening
Speaker 3: right Wood and Mount Baldy continues to burn out of control,
Speaker 3: but fire officials say lighter winds, higher humidity, and cooler
Speaker 3: temperatures are keeping the fire from growing. The fires burned
Speaker 3: almost fifty two thousand acres, destroyed at least forty homes
Speaker 3: and buildings, and is zero percent surrounded. Evacuation orders remain
Speaker 3: for residents of Running Springs and Arrow, Bear Lake, and
Speaker 3: other communities as the fire continues to burn in the
Speaker 3: San Bernardino Mountains. It's burned almost thirty eight thousand acres
Speaker 3: and is twenty one percent surrounded. LA Mayor Bass has
Speaker 3: celebrated the raising of the Olympic and Paralympic flags at
Speaker 3: City Hall in advance of LA's hosting the Olympics in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight. It'll be the third time the city
Speaker 3: has hosted the Olympics. The city also unbuiled an exhibition
Speaker 3: showcasing photographs and other memorabilia from the nineteen thirty two
Speaker 3: and eighty four Olympic Games in Los Angeles. At five
Speaker 3: point fifty, What's your Favorite? The Bear Baby Reindeer Showgun
Speaker 3: ABC's Jason Nathanson makes his predictions for TV's biggest night,
Speaker 3: and also is going to share with us what he
Speaker 3: thinks you may want to binge over the weekend before
Speaker 3: the Emmy Awards. Let's say good morning now to the
Speaker 3: House Whisper and the host of Home Here on KFI.
Speaker 2: It's our very own Dean Sharp.
Speaker 9: Morning Dean, Good morning Amy.
Speaker 3: We have a lot of fun during our talks, but
Speaker 3: today we have to get a little bit serious because
Speaker 3: you know, California is literally burning up and the weekend
Speaker 3: is here, and it might be a great time to
Speaker 3: spend some time getting your home ready in case of
Speaker 3: fire breaks out near you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just always I don't know what it is
Speaker 9: about September, but it's always the time that we set
Speaker 9: aside because this is when it you know, we had
Speaker 9: an earthquake yesterday, we got fires. There's a hurricane rolling in,
Speaker 9: you know, over Louisiana. So yeah, it's just that time
Speaker 9: and fires, fires suck, they when it comes to threatening homes,
Speaker 9: and so it's always a good idea to tune up
Speaker 9: and to get some great advice. That's what we're going
Speaker 9: to do on Sunday. All of Sunday Show, we're going
Speaker 9: to be talking about ten specific different ways to fire
Speaker 9: harden your home.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're going to go into depth with with
Speaker 3: those on Sunday, but let's just take a little sneak
Speaker 3: peek at a few of them.
Speaker 9: Well, I think the most important thing for people to
Speaker 9: realize when it comes to their home. If you live
Speaker 9: anywhere near an open space area, which most people in
Speaker 9: southern California do at this point, the thing you need
Speaker 9: to realize is the majority of homes that are destroyed
Speaker 9: in wildfires are not not in the direct path of
Speaker 9: the fire. I think we imagine that the fires coming
Speaker 9: down the hillside, and certainly for a lot of people
Speaker 9: it does comes down the hillside and all of a
Speaker 9: sudden it's in your backyard, and that's how it threatens
Speaker 9: your home. And of course in those cases that's true,
Speaker 9: but most homes that are destroyed in wildfires are not
Speaker 9: in that direct path of the fire.
Speaker 6: What happens?
Speaker 2: How are they burning? How are they burning?
Speaker 9: Embers? Embers from these grassy wildfires are flying through the air,
Speaker 9: being carried on the wind up to two miles. They
Speaker 9: are still effective and active up to two miles miles
Speaker 9: away from the fire.
Speaker 2: They're like little fireballs floating through the.
Speaker 9: Air, exactly. And you combine that with the fact that
Speaker 9: your attic if it is vented properly, and I say this,
Speaker 9: it's a beef that I've had with the building code
Speaker 9: in Southern California for a long time. Because to vent
Speaker 9: an attic properly, we've got these low vents around our eaves,
Speaker 9: and then we have higher vents up on our roofline.
Speaker 9: And what that does is that it draws in cooler
Speaker 9: air down around our eve line and allows hot air
Speaker 9: to leave near the top of our attic, and it's
Speaker 9: supposed to keep our attic better vented and cooler. It
Speaker 9: also happens to mimic the exact conditions of like a
Speaker 9: weber kettle as far as being able to feed a
Speaker 9: fire ember. And so when one of these super light
Speaker 9: embers gets near our homes, they're actually drawn in through
Speaker 9: the vacuum of our attic, venting out warm air, and
Speaker 9: they can be drawn right into the attic. And this
Speaker 9: is what happens. This is why the way why the
Speaker 9: fire department gets so frustrated, because you know, they're out
Speaker 9: there on the hillside working a wildfire, and then suddenly
Speaker 9: four blocks away from the fire line, two houses are
Speaker 9: on fire and they have to distribute resources there. And
Speaker 9: then the next thing you know, six houses are on
Speaker 9: fire another four or five blocks away. The fire line
Speaker 9: is not there, but the embers have gotten into attics,
Speaker 9: and now we've got neighborhoods burning. So the key here
Speaker 9: for people to realize, if you live anywhere inside that
Speaker 9: wildlife urban interface, that fire heavy fire zone, you really
Speaker 9: really need to consider changing out your vents or retrofitting
Speaker 9: your attic vents to fire safe vents. And that simply
Speaker 9: means vents that have a baffling system built into them
Speaker 9: so that air passes in and they do their job
Speaker 9: just the right way, but the baffling system will stop
Speaker 9: and from making it all the way in. It'll catch
Speaker 9: the ember in the vent itself and not allow it
Speaker 9: to get into the attic. It is an expense. They
Speaker 9: can be done relatively inexpensively, but man, talk about value
Speaker 9: for the cost going out. Fire hardening your home in
Speaker 9: southern California starts with attic vents.
Speaker 3: Okay, and then so let's talk about something like that
Speaker 3: you could do this weekend, because that's going to be
Speaker 3: a bigger expense. But there are some things like clearing
Speaker 3: the space right around your house you could do that
Speaker 3: as a weekend project.
Speaker 9: Absolutely absolutely, And CalFire, if you go on the CalFire website,
Speaker 9: you can get a lot of great advice. Clearly, you
Speaker 9: can talk about our zones there are three zones that
Speaker 9: the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection otherwise known
Speaker 9: as CalFire, determines for any house in California. Zone zero
Speaker 9: is what we call the ember resistance zone, and that
Speaker 9: is zero to five feet away from your house, and
Speaker 9: that's just all the junk that is leaning up against
Speaker 9: your house, that's shoved up against the outside walls of
Speaker 9: your house. Making sure that what is sitting within five
Speaker 9: feet of your house is not a pile of stuff
Speaker 9: that is flammable that could easily go because as soon
Speaker 9: as that catches on fire, those flames are licking up
Speaker 9: under the eaves of your roof and again boom, next thing,
Speaker 9: you know, into the attic. So that first zone, you
Speaker 9: can just simply clear out stuff that's five feet away
Speaker 9: from your house. The next zone, Zone one, that's what
Speaker 9: they call the lean, clean and Green zone. It's from
Speaker 9: five feet to thirty feet away, and it's just about
Speaker 9: keeping your yard healthy and green, keeping it well watered
Speaker 9: and irrigated, and keeping it clean of stuff. And then
Speaker 9: ultimately the fire resistant zone. And this is a little
Speaker 9: bit more long term for planting things that aren't super flammable,
Speaker 9: but that's from thirty two one hundred feet out. So yeah,
Speaker 9: like you said, right now, this weekend, you can simply
Speaker 9: get out and spend some time moving flammable or potentially
Speaker 9: flammable things away from the walls of your home.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So there's some good short term and long term things
Speaker 3: you can do to protect your home for the next wildfare,
Speaker 3: because we know they're coming. It might not hit you directly,
Speaker 3: but you even you said it could be up to
Speaker 3: two miles away.
Speaker 2: So we're going to have.
Speaker 3: More information on this, and you're going to focus on
Speaker 3: this for your Sunday show.
Speaker 9: Sunday show, Yeah, and tomorrow we'll be taking calls and
Speaker 9: talking a little bit about earthquake prep too.
Speaker 2: Oh, because we just had another aftershock this morning.
Speaker 9: You know, I know I felt it when I was
Speaker 9: sitting by the fire.
Speaker 2: You did, okay, Okay.
Speaker 3: So it's Home with Dean Sharp and eight is Saturday
Speaker 3: from six to eight and then Sunday from nine to noon.
Speaker 3: Right here on KFI. You can also follow Dean at
Speaker 3: Home with Dean. Thank you so much, Dean.
Speaker 9: Thanks Amy.
Speaker 2: Okay, Hey, coming up on September twenty seven, I'm going
Speaker 2: to jump.
Speaker 3: Off a building, Okay, I'm not jumping off the building,
Speaker 3: but I am going over the edge.
Speaker 2: Neil Savader is going to join me too.
Speaker 3: We're going over the edge to help raise money for
Speaker 3: the Union Rescue Mission. The Union Rescue Mission serves the
Speaker 3: homeless population and hopefully helps some of these people become
Speaker 3: not homeless anymore. And we know that there's seventy five
Speaker 3: thousand homeless in LA. We can help them all, but
Speaker 3: Union Rescue Rescue Mission says you could help just one.
Speaker 3: So break it down, focus on one, make a donation,
Speaker 3: and by making a donation, you can help me go
Speaker 3: over the edge. I'm raising money to do this, Neil's
Speaker 3: raising money to do this, and you can make your
Speaker 3: donation at just help one dot org. We also have
Speaker 3: a post up on my Instagram at Amy K King.
Speaker 3: It's also at KFI AM six forty a fun little
Speaker 3: video with Neil and I and you can take a
Speaker 3: look at where where we're going as we're repelling twenty
Speaker 3: five stories down the Universal Hilton and again that's happening
Speaker 3: on September twenty seventh. Now, if you want to repel,
Speaker 3: you can do it. Just make a one thousand dollars
Speaker 3: donation and you too, can repel off a building. I
Speaker 3: think it's going to be terrifying and really fun at
Speaker 3: the same time. So we're going over the edge. We
Speaker 3: would love for you to join us again. It's September
Speaker 3: twenty seventh, and the place to donate is just help
Speaker 3: one dot org.
Speaker 2: We hope you'll help.
Speaker 3: Firefighters say cooler temperatures and higher humidity are helping to
Speaker 3: slow the spread of three big fires burning in southern California.
Speaker 3: The fire threatening Rightwood has burned almost fifty two thousand acres,
Speaker 3: The fire in the San Bernardino Mountains has burned almost
Speaker 3: thirty eight thousand, and the fire in Orange and Riverside
Speaker 3: Counties that has burned some homes near Lake Elsinori is
Speaker 3: just under twenty four thousand acres. Firefighters are at the
Speaker 3: scene of a fire of a three story apartment building
Speaker 3: on North Bunker Hill Avenue in Chinatown. The fire was
Speaker 3: burning just east of the one ten Freeway. At least
Speaker 3: five people were hurt la fires, as one was critically injured.
Speaker 3: The fire spread to the first and third floors of
Speaker 3: another apartment building that we're getting word that the fire
Speaker 3: has been extinguished. Fourteen magnitude four point zero or greater.
Speaker 3: Earthquakes have hit southern California so far this year. That's
Speaker 3: the most in one year since nineteen eighty eight. The
Speaker 3: latest was a four point seven that rumbled under Malibu
Speaker 3: yesterday morning and was felt across much of the Southland Caltex.
Speaker 3: Asmologists say lots of small quakes do not reduce the
Speaker 3: odds of a big one. Let's say good morning to
Speaker 3: ABC's Jason Nathanson. Good morning, Jason. TV's biggest night is
Speaker 3: just around the corner.
Speaker 10: YEP.
Speaker 6: The Emmys are on Sunday nights.
Speaker 14: So if you're going to be here in the downtown area,
Speaker 14: just know that that it's happening at the La Live
Speaker 14: Complex down there, and there's all kinds of traffic problems
Speaker 14: and issues and the things that you normally have. And
Speaker 14: this year you're going to have Eugene and Dan Levy,
Speaker 14: the first ever father son hosting team.
Speaker 2: That's going to be fun.
Speaker 6: I think I'm you We'll see you know. I don't know.
Speaker 14: I think it's a it's an interesting choice. I think
Speaker 14: it's kind of a strange choice. It's not a normal choice.
Speaker 14: Usually they go for some kind of comedian, right who
Speaker 14: was used to a MC ing a night and keeping
Speaker 14: it going and poking fun at some of the people
Speaker 14: in the room. These two guys definitely known for comedy.
Speaker 14: But I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 14: know the track record about hosting a night like this.
Speaker 14: So and usually, you know, the show rotates every year
Speaker 14: between the networks, and this year is ABC's and usually
Speaker 14: whatever network picks somebody associated with their network.
Speaker 6: So Jimmy Kimmel has done it in the past.
Speaker 14: You know, when it's on NBC, it might be Seth
Speaker 14: Myers or something like that. Dan and Eugene Levy don't
Speaker 14: really have It's not like they have a show on
Speaker 14: ABC right now. Eugene Levy has. He's got that travel
Speaker 14: show on Apple. He's also on Only Murders in the Building,
Speaker 14: which is on Hulu, which is kind of an ABC show.
Speaker 14: I guess ABC adjacent. Yeah, so the whole thing overall,
Speaker 14: I find a strange pick, but I assume there's a
Speaker 14: reason why. So you know, I'll reserve my full judgment
Speaker 14: until I actually see what they do on Sunday Night.
Speaker 3: Okay, and then we'll talk about it next week and
Speaker 3: di some if they're bad.
Speaker 14: Sure, on Monday morning, Happy they'll be up this time
Speaker 14: early on Monday morning.
Speaker 6: We talked about it after the show.
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's get to the awards part of the show.
Speaker 3: Do you have some predictions for us or do you
Speaker 3: have any recommendations for what we should watch before the Emmys.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna be.
Speaker 14: There's not gonna be a whole lot of mystery when
Speaker 14: it comes to the ceremony and who's gonna win.
Speaker 6: We've already seen in the.
Speaker 14: Emmys before the Emmys, the Creative Arts Emmys, where they
Speaker 14: give out the bulk of it because there's like sixty
Speaker 14: categories and they can't give those all out in one
Speaker 14: award show on Sunday, so they've given out a bunch already. Showgun,
Speaker 14: the FX Feudal Japan series, has already won the most
Speaker 14: Emmys ever in a single.
Speaker 6: Season, fourteen. Already fourteen.
Speaker 2: It's right for nine more than on Sunday, right, Yeah.
Speaker 14: So every win on Sunday, and it's gonna probably sweep
Speaker 14: the categories. I think it won fourteen and it was
Speaker 14: up for sixteen last weekend, so it won almost everything
Speaker 14: was up for.
Speaker 2: And did you watch Showgun?
Speaker 6: I have not seen the full season of Showgun, yet
Speaker 6: I did.
Speaker 3: I just binged it and finished. I just finished it,
Speaker 3: and it was wow.
Speaker 2: It is brutal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very violent and boy there's a lot of
Speaker 3: people chopping heads off people it is.
Speaker 2: It was really good.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and it's a beautifully done period piece. Yeah, but
Speaker 14: I think also it's not a show. It got attention
Speaker 14: when it came out and people were watching it, and
Speaker 14: the numbers were decent, but it didn't It wasn't huge.
Speaker 14: It wasn't like a show everybody was talking about.
Speaker 3: Well, it's not the kind of show that I would
Speaker 3: normally watch. We did a segment on my aming's on
Speaker 3: it segment and it's like, that's not what I'm drawn to. Sure,
Speaker 3: So I just ended up watching it because it was
Speaker 3: getting a little bit of buzz and because of the
Speaker 3: nominations and stuff, and I was so I was very
Speaker 3: pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it.
Speaker 14: And that's what's good I think about the MS is
Speaker 14: it does bring attention to some of those shows that
Speaker 14: not everybody is watching. I think this is one of
Speaker 14: those shows that a lot of people watching they're listening
Speaker 14: to us right now, have not seen. So that's one
Speaker 14: of those shows that you can catch up on this weekend.
Speaker 14: Other shows in the drama category that I really liked.
Speaker 14: One that I was late to and just recently binged
Speaker 14: was Fallout on Prime Video. Oh I liked that one too, Yeah,
Speaker 14: that was really good. There's also Slow Horses on Apple TV.
Speaker 14: Plus all of these, by the way, first time nominees
Speaker 14: this year in the Best Drama category. Over in the
Speaker 14: comedy category, you know, look, we already had an Emmys
Speaker 14: this year.
Speaker 6: Remember it was delayed because of the strike last year.
Speaker 14: And The Bear, which was that was up for its
Speaker 14: first season and it swept everything this year up for
Speaker 14: its second season.
Speaker 6: Now, just watched the third season of The Bear. That's
Speaker 6: not what's nominated right now.
Speaker 14: It's the second season the Bear, which was the Jamie
Speaker 14: the Curtis episode Christmas episode if.
Speaker 6: You remember that.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, she won last week for that episode for
Speaker 14: a Best Guest Actress. So, uh, the second season The
Speaker 14: Bear is gonna win. We're most likely gonna win and
Speaker 14: sweep again in the comedy category.
Speaker 6: It's not funny, even though it's not a comedy, not
Speaker 6: to say it's not funny.
Speaker 14: It is funny sometimes like they're but it's not like
Speaker 14: you know, if if you're looking at comedies from for
Speaker 14: my money, Hacks is the funniest show in the comedy
Speaker 14: category or is it nominated and Hacks is nominated, Yes,
Speaker 14: it's last or most recent season. Yeah, so uh that
Speaker 14: that for me is would be my pick if we're
Speaker 14: talking about comedies, that would be my pick. But you know,
Speaker 14: everybody loves the bear, so there you go. And then
Speaker 14: in the limited series category, which is the other category
Speaker 14: that people really pay attention to, look for Baby Reindeer
Speaker 14: to win a bunch.
Speaker 2: Oh good. I forgot about that exactly.
Speaker 14: And that's interesting because it was such a huge thing
Speaker 14: when it came out, But like a lot of those shows,
Speaker 14: especially on Netflix, they come out, you binge it all
Speaker 14: at once, and then.
Speaker 6: You kind of forget about it a week or two later.
Speaker 14: And Baby Reindeer is one of those shows that got
Speaker 14: so much attention when it first.
Speaker 2: Came out, so good and so creepy, and.
Speaker 14: Then nobody really talked about it after it after that
Speaker 14: except for lawsuits, which are going through the courts right now,
Speaker 14: so we'll see if that, if the whole lawsuit thing
Speaker 14: has any effect on the voters.
Speaker 2: And if you're not familiar the lawsuits are because of.
Speaker 14: Because of the one of the women who she says
Speaker 14: the Stalker character in the show is based on her.
Speaker 14: The show claims to be based on true events. She
Speaker 14: says the Stalker is based on her. The show and
Speaker 14: its creator Richard Gadd said, no, it's not based on her.
Speaker 14: That trial actually just got a court date set here
Speaker 14: in Los Angeles. They're douing Netflix for one hundred and
Speaker 14: seventy million dollars and that is going to go to
Speaker 14: trial next year, in May of twenty twenty five. So
Speaker 14: it'll be a while before that's resolved.
Speaker 3: But immediately we have Emmy's there on Sunday night, and
Speaker 3: hopefully we'll get to check in with I would love
Speaker 3: to talk to you on Monday if you're available.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will be available.
