Speaker 1: were going to be talking with ABC's Josh Morgoldian about
Speaker 1: why the Department of Homeland Security is putting out a
Speaker 1: warning that's coming up a little bit later, I believe.
Speaker 1: At five twenty Freddie Freeman on fire. The Dodgers first
Speaker 1: baseman hit a two run shot in the first inning
Speaker 1: of Game four last night, giving the Dodgers a lead
Speaker 1: they never lost. Freeman has now homered in all three
Speaker 1: World Series games this season. The Dodgers one last night,
Speaker 1: four to two. They're leading the series three games to one.
Speaker 1: Game four, nope, three games to none. Game four is
Speaker 1: tonight in New York, coming up at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the hour. We've always heard the way to a man's
Speaker 1: heart is through his stomach, but maybe we should be
Speaker 1: saying the way to a man's brain is through his stomach.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking with the author of Heal Your
Speaker 1: Gut and Save Your Brain. Really interesting stuff, and before
Speaker 1: the end of the show, we're going to be checking
Speaker 1: in with the host of How To Money on CAFI,
Speaker 1: Joel Larsgard, about the cost of a college degree and
Speaker 1: from a financial standpoint, whether everyone really needs one. Let's
Speaker 1: get started with some of the stories coming out of
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts
Speaker 1: credits the team's pitching rotation for the Dodgers three to
Speaker 1: nothing lead in the World Series. LA beat the Yankees
Speaker 1: four to two last night, Game three. The Yankees didn't
Speaker 1: get any runs until the ninth inning. The Dodgers got
Speaker 1: an early lead thanks to a two run homer from
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman, and pitcher Walker Buehler allowed just two hits
Speaker 1: with two walks and five strikeouts in five innings. Robert
Speaker 1: says the team needs to stay focused.
Speaker 7: Now, stay urgent, and there's just got to be urgency.
Speaker 7: I just don't want to let these guys up for air.
Speaker 1: Game four of the series, of course, tonight in New York,
Speaker 1: first pitch goes out at five eight. Dodgers fans in
Speaker 1: East LA have again taken to the streets to celebrate
Speaker 1: the team's win against New York. Crowds near Olympic and
Speaker 1: Atlantic Boulevards were seen dancing on the sidewalks and crosswalks
Speaker 1: last night, many waving Dodgers flags as well as brooms
Speaker 1: and hopes of a four game sweep. Several cars were
Speaker 1: also seen doing donuts in the intersection. La Keunty Sheriff's
Speaker 1: deputies and CHP officers blocked several intersections in the area.
Speaker 1: Nobody was hurt, and La County LA City Council committee
Speaker 1: is set to consider Mayor Bass's nominee to be the
Speaker 1: next LAPD chief. Bass announced her choice a former La
Speaker 1: County sheriff to McDonald earlier this month to replace Michael Moore,
Speaker 1: who retired in February. Council members will have the chance
Speaker 1: to question McDonald this afternoon about how he plans to
Speaker 1: lead the country's third largest police department. The California Air
Speaker 1: Resources Board is set told a vote that could spike
Speaker 1: gas prices despite some opposition.
Speaker 4: The board is set to vote next month on changes
Speaker 4: to a program meant to promote cleaner fuels. Republican Congressman
Speaker 4: Kevin Kylie says Californians are already getting crushed by fuel prices.
Speaker 3: We are about a dollar.
Speaker 4: Fifty above the national average for the highest in the
Speaker 4: country by along shot. We paid the highest gas tax
Speaker 4: in the country almost sixty cents. Kylie Co signed a
Speaker 4: letter with his Republican House colleagues from California last week
Speaker 4: urging the board to delay the vote and study costs.
Speaker 4: Officials for CARBS say they're legally required to make changes
Speaker 4: to the program by the end of the year. Blake
Speaker 4: Trolly k if I News.
Speaker 1: Last year, KARM estimated the changes could add up to
Speaker 1: forty seven cents per gallon, but then walk that number
Speaker 1: back after it decided to make changes to the proposal.
Speaker 1: The Kleinman Center for Energy Policy estimates the impact could
Speaker 1: mean an extra sixty five cents per gallon in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. Great signs have been posted up and down
Speaker 1: Hollywood Boulevard, the Sunset Strip, and other areas ahead of
Speaker 1: Halloween celebrations warning of up to six months in jail
Speaker 1: and a fine of up to one thousand dollars if
Speaker 1: you use silly string on Al Hallow's Eve. Silly string
Speaker 1: can cost thousands of dollars to cars, businesses, and even
Speaker 1: starts on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So it's banned.
Speaker 1: It's five oh six on your Tuesday morning wake up call.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan.
Speaker 7: So Jim.
Speaker 1: A couple weeks ago, we talked about Robert Roberson, whose
Speaker 1: execution in Texan, Texas was paused. Yes, because shaken baby
Speaker 1: syndrome has been disc credited as a cause of death,
Speaker 1: at least that's part of it, and they wanted him
Speaker 1: to testify about that.
Speaker 5: Correct, Okay, testify before at Texas House committee, not a
Speaker 5: judicial committee, not a court, but the Texas House Committee.
Speaker 5: The Texas Supreme Court said, okay, we're going to go
Speaker 5: ahead and let him testify before that that House committee.
Speaker 5: He didn't testify at all because the Texas Attorney General
Speaker 5: stepped in and said, no, no, no, don't. We don't want
Speaker 5: him there in person. We don't want him at the
Speaker 5: capitol in person, because it's too big a hasshole to
Speaker 5: get him from death row to Austin and to the capital.
Speaker 5: And so he ended up not testifying at all.
Speaker 1: But because they wouldn't do it by a video or
Speaker 1: anything like that.
Speaker 5: Right, they felt that I mean he's autistic. Robert's autistic.
Speaker 5: He spends twenty three and a half hours a day
Speaker 5: by himself. Then he doesn't do well, you know, you're
Speaker 5: trying to communicate with other people, especially into talking into
Speaker 5: a camera and with a speaker there. So he didn't testify.
Speaker 5: But the gold case is now in limbo. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's just sitting there. No new execution date has been set.
Speaker 5: That won't happen until January, if it happens at all.
Speaker 5: But it's all led to kind of some infighting in
Speaker 5: Robertson's own family, right. The little girl who died is
Speaker 5: go back to two thousand and two. That's when little
Speaker 5: Nikki Curtis, who was two years old at the time,
Speaker 5: was taken to the hospital. Her father took her to
Speaker 5: the hospital. He had sole custody. Ever, by the way,
Speaker 5: I figured that out since then, but he had sole custody.
Speaker 5: Custody had been taken away from the mother. Roberson was
Speaker 5: caring for the child. She had been to the hospital
Speaker 5: dozens of times, doctor and hospital dozens of times in
Speaker 5: her short life. That last time she died in the hospital, doctors, nurses,
Speaker 5: and eventually the police suspected it was shaking baby syndrome,
Speaker 5: that Robertson had shaken the baby. He denied it, but
Speaker 5: was convicted and put on death row, as you know, Amy.
Speaker 5: Then in twenty thirteen, Texas passed something called the Junk
Speaker 5: Science Law, which allowed people who had been convicted of
Speaker 5: things like shaking baby syndrome to peel. And many people
Speaker 5: have been exonerated on that, not Robertson.
Speaker 1: So here's a question for you, still going back to that.
Speaker 1: If shaken baby syndrome is not an actual thing, right,
Speaker 1: you said, it's been debunded as a legal basis. Okay,
Speaker 1: what did the child die of?
Speaker 5: Ah? These the supporters of Robert Robertson say that because
Speaker 5: she'd been in the hospital so many times before this,
Speaker 5: it could have been pneumonia, it could have been encephalitis.
Speaker 5: There were some other things that may have caused her death,
Speaker 5: might have you know, led her to die. The brother though,
Speaker 5: of that kid, of that baby, now he's an adult,
Speaker 5: all these years later. That was that was twenty two
Speaker 5: years ago. The kid's brother, Nikki's aunt, the grandfather. They're saying, look,
Speaker 5: there are other things that contributed to this death. That
Speaker 5: and we think Robert Robertson was responsible. We still want
Speaker 5: him to die for this crime. Robertson's own brother, yesterday
Speaker 5: to Robertson, came to his defense and issued an open
Speaker 5: letter of his own saying, my brother didn't do this.
Speaker 5: He couldn't have heard that child, his own daughter. And
Speaker 5: you can tell this. I mean, it's it's all leading
Speaker 5: to this infighting. The case is still has no resolution.
Speaker 1: Okay, so but in reality what they're saying doesn't really
Speaker 1: matter because he's been convicted, the execution is only paused.
Speaker 1: Or could this lead to them reopening the case.
Speaker 5: They could the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals could take
Speaker 5: up the case again, and Robertson's attorneys are pushing for that.
Speaker 5: They want that the appeals court to take it up.
Speaker 5: But that could be affected by what happens next week
Speaker 5: in the election. Here in Texas, justice and judges are elected.
Speaker 5: It's a partisan election. I don't know about California, but
Speaker 5: judges are up for election based on party. And so
Speaker 5: three of the eight judges on the Court of Criminal
Speaker 5: Appeals are up for reelection next week, and so depending
Speaker 5: upon what happens with them, they're all three Republicans. Those
Speaker 5: three had all voted to continue the execution to go
Speaker 5: ahead with the executioner of Robertson, so that if those
Speaker 5: seats change, if the if the court suddenly becomes more
Speaker 5: conservative or more liberal, less conservative, I guess he'd say
Speaker 5: here in Texas, that could affect how that court hears
Speaker 5: Robertson's appeals. Right, So it could be that the election
Speaker 5: next week helps to decide whether Robert Robertson lives or dies.
Speaker 1: Wow, it's just everything is so complicated, you know, it's
Speaker 1: just crazy, and we're thankful that we have you there
Speaker 1: to help us take things out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've filled up my brain with all that stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, Jim Ryan, thank you so much for the info.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 7: THEA.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour news from two more
Speaker 1: sexual assault allegations have been made against hip hop mogul
Speaker 1: Sean Combs. ABC's Chuck Sievertson says. In one of the
Speaker 1: lawsuits filed yesterday, Colmbs is accused of drugging and sexually
Speaker 1: assaulting a ten year old boy in two thousand and
Speaker 1: five at a hotel in New York City.
Speaker 5: The second lawsuit accuses Combs of similarly assaulting a seventeen
Speaker 5: year old would be contestant on the reality TV series
Speaker 5: Making the Band in twenty oh eight.
Speaker 1: Steverson says Combs's lawyers deny the claims, as they have
Speaker 1: others in a wave of lawsuits alleging sexual assault at
Speaker 1: parties and meetings over two decades. An actor who was
Speaker 1: involved in the January sixth attack on the US Capitol
Speaker 1: has been sentenced to a year in federal prison. Jay
Speaker 1: Johnston pleaded guilty in July to a felony count of
Speaker 1: civil disorder. He was fired from the animated Fox TV
Speaker 1: series Bob's Burgers after his involvement in January sixth. Surface
Speaker 1: A person has been killed in a suspected wrong way
Speaker 1: crash on the four h five in Carson. Another person
Speaker 1: is in critical condition. The CHP was called last night
Speaker 1: about four or five cars involved in a crash in
Speaker 1: the southbound lanes near Avalon Boulevard. The person killed died
Speaker 1: at the scene. The Pentagon says it now has evidence
Speaker 1: that roughly ten thousand North Korean troops are training inside
Speaker 1: Russia and likely headed to the border with Ukraine.
Speaker 6: The US says if the North Koreans do enter the war,
Speaker 6: they'll be considered fair gaming combats.
Speaker 8: This could mark a dangerous escalation in this conflict.
Speaker 1: ABCC in Panels's President Biden says, it's a very dangerous situation.
Speaker 1: A protected bike bike path in North Hollywood has received
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty thousand dollars in federal funding.
Speaker 2: The Chandler Boulevard bike path is now closer to completion
Speaker 2: because of those federal funds. Congressman Toni Kardna says extending
Speaker 2: the protected path to the longer twenty mile g Line path,
Speaker 2: which travels to Chatsworth will open up opportunities for more
Speaker 2: people to choose bikes.
Speaker 7: We're going to be able to connect it end to end.
Speaker 7: It'll be continuous, safe for the family, leaves for the children,
Speaker 7: for people to go to work, or people to just recreate.
Speaker 2: Gardner says the car culture of the San Fernando Valley
Speaker 2: is changing and that projects like this help to ease
Speaker 2: traffic and to protect the environment in North Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Michael Monks KFI News. A rare dime that has been
Speaker 1: kept in a bank vault for more than forty years
Speaker 1: has sold at auction for five hundred and six thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: The dime is just one of two known to exist
Speaker 1: that were minted in San Francisco in nineteen seventy five
Speaker 1: without the s mint mark on it. Three sisters from
Speaker 1: Ohio inherited the dime after the death of their brother.
Speaker 1: You might have heard about this the International Space Station.
Speaker 1: There's some issues brewing up there where our friend Colonel
Speaker 1: Nick Haig is currently residing. Astronauts have been told to
Speaker 1: prepare for an urgent evacuation because of growing safety concerns.
Speaker 1: Nasen it's Russian counterpart of it, tracking fifty so called
Speaker 1: areas of concern related to a growing air leak aboard
Speaker 1: the station. NASA says the leak is on the Russian
Speaker 1: side of the space station and it is a top
Speaker 1: safety risk. Officials also say they've been aware there's been
Speaker 1: an issue since twenty nineteen, but the exact source of
Speaker 1: the leak is still unknown. I'd asked a friend of
Speaker 1: ours over at Space Force if they had any information
Speaker 1: about that, and he sent me another article basically saying that, yes,
Speaker 1: this has been going on. Yeah, they're probably pretty safe.
Speaker 1: They have reduced the leak that had like the air
Speaker 1: was leaking out a little bit faster, starting in I
Speaker 1: think February. They they're making some efforts in reducing the leaks,
Speaker 1: but there is still a little bit of air kind
Speaker 1: of seeping out. And what it reminded me of is
Speaker 1: the conversations that we've had with Colonel Haig. If you've
Speaker 1: listened to like a wake up call, you may have
Speaker 1: heard it when we were talking about how they're always
Speaker 1: planning for things to fail and they're so good at that,
Speaker 1: like they go, Okay, this is what's going on, Okay,
Speaker 1: how is that going to go wrong? And then they
Speaker 1: plan for it and have contingencies for it. So again,
Speaker 1: not that I'm an International Space Station expert, because I've
Speaker 1: had a couple of conversations with an astronaut, but I
Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence that the astronauts up on
Speaker 1: the space station know what they're doing, know what they're
Speaker 1: going to do if there is an emergency, and are
Speaker 1: planning for it. So of course we continue to hope
Speaker 1: and pray that they are safe and having a great time.
Speaker 1: It sure looks like Colonel Haig was having a great
Speaker 1: time when we got to talk to him on the
Speaker 1: International Space Station. But they're taking care of it. They're
Speaker 1: aware of it, and again this is it came out
Speaker 1: in the Daily Mail and it was very alarming. But
Speaker 1: I think that if you read longer and further in
Speaker 1: and go beyond the headlines, it's not maybe as severe
Speaker 1: as you're led to believe. If you just read the headlines. Again,
Speaker 1: they know what's going on. It's been going on for
Speaker 1: a while, and they're trying to figure it out. And
Speaker 1: I think that they're highly qualified and really smart people
Speaker 1: up there floating around in space. So we'll keep you
Speaker 1: posted as more information more information comes out about this,
Speaker 1: but for now, of course, Colonel Nickay, hope you're safe.
Speaker 1: Of course you will be. Some people who live in
Speaker 1: Rancho Palace Verdes are going to be offered a voluntary
Speaker 1: buy out for their property, which has been shifting from
Speaker 1: ongoing land movement. State and city leaders say the program's
Speaker 1: going to offer fair market value to owners whose homes
Speaker 1: are damaged or threatened. The forty two million dollars in
Speaker 1: funding will come from FEMA and the California Governor's Office
Speaker 1: of Emergency Services. Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon has been
Speaker 1: released from prison. Bannon has served his four month prison
Speaker 1: term on two counts of contempt of Congress for failing
Speaker 1: to comply with his subpoena related to the January sixth
Speaker 1: Capitol riot, and has already scheduled a press conference for
Speaker 1: later today. The Washington Post has reportedly lost more than
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand subscribers following a decision not to endorse
Speaker 1: a candidate in the presidential race, specifically Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: The post, owned by Jeff Bezos, has more than two
Speaker 1: and a half million subscribers. It's the third largest circulation
Speaker 1: in the US. Let's say good morning to ABC's Josh Margolian,
Speaker 1: who is a chief investigative reporter for ABC. So, Josh,
Speaker 1: election Day is thankfully now just a week away, and
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland securities worried. What are they worried about?
Speaker 7: Worried about political violence. They're worried that poll workers or
Speaker 7: election officials or infrastructure locations like drop boxes or polling
Speaker 7: places could be subjected to violence. And they have put
Speaker 7: this They've been saying it privately to law enforcement for months,
Speaker 7: saying it privately to us, and they have finally just
Speaker 7: tore and the vandaid off. They We obtained internal intelligence
Speaker 7: documents yesterday saying that they are concerned about it. They're
Speaker 7: concerned about quote unquote incitements that political leaders or other
Speaker 7: public figures are pushing messages that could be leading people
Speaker 7: that are following to take action into their own hands
Speaker 7: and do something potentially dangerous. And we saw up in
Speaker 7: Washington State and Oregon over the weekend that two ballot
Speaker 7: dropboxes were firebombed and some ballots were actually lost.
Speaker 1: Okay, I wanted to ask you about that. So it
Speaker 1: was one was in Portland and one was across the
Speaker 1: river in Vancouver, and right the one in Portland, like
Speaker 1: three ballots burned, but in Vancouver it was like hundreds
Speaker 1: of ballots, right.
Speaker 7: I think the final total was four hundred and nine. Now,
Speaker 7: fortunately it was just one day, right, So they they
Speaker 7: announced they've put out the hours when the ballots were collected,
Speaker 7: so they're telling people like you and me, if you
Speaker 7: were out there you had dropped your ballot off during
Speaker 7: these hours on this day, please contact us. And we
Speaker 7: know that mail in and drop off ballots have tracking
Speaker 7: devices on the outside envelope, not not the secret ballot part,
Speaker 7: but the outside, so they have barcodes, they have signatures,
Speaker 7: so you can call and say hey, I'm Josh I
Speaker 7: live at this address. Was my ballot destroyed? Do you
Speaker 7: still have it? And they might say, oh, we don't
Speaker 7: have it. It must be one of them. We'll give you
Speaker 7: a new ballot, or oh, we have your ballot. Don't
Speaker 7: worry about it. It's all done. It's done to make
Speaker 7: sure that there's not double voting. So they're doing that.
Speaker 7: It's I think the total number was four hundred and nine.
Speaker 1: It's it.
Speaker 7: First of all, any ballot lost is bad and nobody
Speaker 7: wants to see that. But the bigger issue for law
Speaker 7: enforcement is what this portends about what's to come.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, and did they give any specific warnings about
Speaker 1: what may be portending.
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, they they're saying that people need to be
Speaker 7: be concerned about. So they are saying, for inst it's
Speaker 7: with the ballot drop boxes. If you're in a jurisdiction
Speaker 7: where you can vote by mail and do a drop off,
Speaker 7: and you want to drop it off, you should drop
Speaker 7: off during daylight hours, during business hours. They are upping
Speaker 7: their collections so that way, in case anything happens, there
Speaker 7: are fewer ballots that might get damaged. They're going to
Speaker 7: up their surveillance and security of these locations. You know
Speaker 7: there already are security. Like a drop box in my
Speaker 7: community is at town hall, so there's already security over there.
Speaker 7: They're going to up camera coverage for things like that.
Speaker 7: We already know that in the drop boxes that were damaged,
Speaker 7: there were fire suppression systems. Obviously, the one in Portland
Speaker 7: worked very very well. The one in Vancouver not so much.
Speaker 7: But they're going to do that. They are taking measures,
Speaker 7: But the biggest thing is they want the public now
Speaker 7: to be aware that there's danger out there potentially, and
Speaker 7: there's danger because people are being pushed and incited to
Speaker 7: act out, and we have there are some small number
Speaker 7: of people in this country who want to act out
Speaker 7: and we'll commit violence irrespective of why.
Speaker 1: And well, speaking of the why, are they saying what
Speaker 1: is what? The why is like? Are they trying to
Speaker 1: interrupt the election process? Are they targeting certain one party
Speaker 1: over the other?
Speaker 7: I watch this stuff online all the time, and I
Speaker 7: can tell you that there is a lot There are
Speaker 7: a lot of people out there who say that they
Speaker 7: are motivated because of the messaging that says the election
Speaker 7: is rigged. But it's not exclusive to them, because there
Speaker 7: are plenty people out there who are just anarchists who
Speaker 7: want to just damage everything and everyone, And there are
Speaker 7: a lot of people out there who just want to
Speaker 7: commit acts of violence. The FEDS are not recommending to
Speaker 7: any one side, any one party to tamp down their rhetoric.
Speaker 7: They are saying that this environment has now created a
Speaker 7: situation where people who might want to commit violence are
Speaker 7: now feeling, you know, that they have room to run,
Speaker 7: so to speak.
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting that they the people that they're warning against,
Speaker 1: the people who are weren't worried about a rigged election,
Speaker 1: because you would think that those people would want people
Speaker 1: to be able to actually vote. But whatever, I know
Speaker 1: that in La.
Speaker 7: There's a lot of strange logic out there. Yeah, in
Speaker 7: the corners of social media. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.
Speaker 1: I just stay away. I know that in La County
Speaker 1: we do have a track my Ballot feature that you
Speaker 1: can do, like you were talking about that you can
Speaker 1: go and track your where your ballot is if you
Speaker 1: do drop it off. So hopefully that will help ballots
Speaker 1: get to where they need to go. And one last question, Josh,
Speaker 1: what are some things that voters can do because we
Speaker 1: want people to get out and vote. They what are
Speaker 1: some things they can do to make sure that their
Speaker 1: ballot gets to where it needs to go.
Speaker 7: Well, the first thing they should do is vote. That's
Speaker 7: the most important thing.
Speaker 8: Just do it.
Speaker 7: Just vote whatever juristiction know how to vote in your community,
Speaker 7: and then do it. Does that mean dropping it in
Speaker 7: a mailbox? Does that mean dropping it at a drop box?
Speaker 7: Does that mean dropping it at the county clerk's office
Speaker 7: or some satellite tax office in La County? I don't
Speaker 7: know if you got to choose your own poison, so
Speaker 7: to speak, of what the most convenient thing is. Maybe
Speaker 7: it's early voting in person. A lot of jurisdictions already
Speaker 7: have that. If you are going to vote on election day,
Speaker 7: the most important thing is to do it as early
Speaker 7: as you can. I can speak for my own personal
Speaker 7: experience of having run into polling places as they were
Speaker 7: about to close. That's a bad idea. It's a bad
Speaker 7: idea for your own schedule, frankly, because if we're already
Speaker 7: seeing record turnout, so who really wants to spend all
Speaker 7: day at work and then traffic coming home then rush
Speaker 7: to the poll in place and then have to wait
Speaker 7: ninety minutes in line, So it's a bad idea for
Speaker 7: convenience sake. Go early, leave it, go in the morning,
Speaker 7: get it done, and if you want to vote in person.
Speaker 7: But it's important. It's also important to check your locations.
Speaker 7: In the last few years because of COVID, because of
Speaker 7: election security issues, a lot of polling places have changed.
Speaker 7: You know, a lot of schools no longer want polling
Speaker 7: in the school building. That for security reasons. So check it.
Speaker 7: Make sure you know where you're going. Are you going
Speaker 7: to the high school, Are you going to the library,
Speaker 7: are you going to some other location? Know that then,
Speaker 7: and make sure you have your ID just in case.
Speaker 7: I know that voter ID is always a big political
Speaker 7: and controversial issue. Just make sure you have your ID
Speaker 7: in case you see whatever. And then the most important
Speaker 7: thing is like everything else in the last twenty twenty
Speaker 7: five years, like they always say, since nine to eleven,
Speaker 7: if you see something, say something. If you go to
Speaker 7: your polling place, you go to a high school somewhere
Speaker 7: out in the valley or something, right, and you're out
Speaker 7: there and you see something weird, some guys hanging out
Speaker 7: looks like he's casing the place. Tell a cop, Tell
Speaker 7: somebody They would rather you say it than not say
Speaker 7: it and then don't believe what you see online. Law
Speaker 7: enforcement is very concerned that people will be discouraged from
Speaker 7: voting because they see something online. Oh my god, La County,
Speaker 7: this is just hypothetical. Obviously, La County polling places are
Speaker 7: being swatted today. It's very, very dangerous. It costs nothing

Speaker 1: Metro has launched the latest version of its app, which

Speaker 1: The app, Transit Watch three point zero, includes location based services,
Speaker 1: real time communication, and image sharing at six o five.
Speaker 1: It's handle on the news, someone firebombed a couple ballot
Speaker 1: drop boxes in the Northwest. Bill's going to talk about that.
Speaker 1: At five point fifty, we have the host of How
Speaker 1: to Money on KFI, Joel Larsguard's going to talk about
Speaker 1: the cost of a college degree and from a financial standpoint,
Speaker 1: whether everyone really needs one. But right now we all
Speaker 1: have one, and we all need one. It's our brains.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning to gastro entrologist and health advocate,
Speaker 1: also the author of Heal Your Gut, Save Your Brain,
Speaker 1: doctor Partha Nandy. Good morning, doctor Nandy.
Speaker 8: How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm great? So I want to dive right in because
Speaker 1: we have always heard that the way to a man's
Speaker 1: heart is through his stomach, but maybe we should be
Speaker 1: saying the way to a man's brain is through his stomach.
Speaker 8: Exactly why I told you. You know, even if you're
Speaker 8: you know, somebody who's worried about the election, or if
Speaker 8: you're just a Yankee fan worried about losing the world's
Speaker 8: the series in record fashion, you get stressed, right, And
Speaker 8: what I talk about is your brain and your gut
Speaker 8: are completely related. So what am I talking about? I
Speaker 8: think if you can change your gut, you can change
Speaker 8: your brain. The brain and the gut talk to each
Speaker 8: other more than two teenagers in the Taylor Swift concert.
Speaker 8: I mean they are communicating constantly. So if you can
Speaker 8: make your guts better, and I offer this book how
Speaker 8: you can really make your gut better, you can change
Speaker 8: your brain because the signals that are there, just just
Speaker 8: for example, you know serotonin, We know about serotonin. Lots
Speaker 8: of drugs include serotonin. Your gut, believe it or not,
Speaker 8: makes ninety percent of it. So if you can change
Speaker 8: your gut to the better, you can you can change
Speaker 8: your brain. Simple ways of doing that we talk about
Speaker 8: is by changing what you do with that fork of yours, right,
Speaker 8: but stuff in your body like whole foods. Put fermented
Speaker 8: foods in your body, such as yogurt, cottage, cheese, you know,
Speaker 8: and then try to avoid processed foods as much as possible.
Speaker 8: I also say to people prescribe that move, move your
Speaker 8: body with purpose, have community and spirituality, and have a
Speaker 8: purpose driven life. I talk about the five plays and
Speaker 8: really be able to enhance your enhancing your gut to
Speaker 8: be able to change your brain for the better.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I want to dig into that a little
Speaker 1: bit more. But I want to back up for a second.
Speaker 1: So when you say the gut, you're not just talking
Speaker 1: about your stomach, you're talking Are you talking about your
Speaker 1: whole digestive system or what specifically are you talking about.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a good point. So it's not just the stomach,
Speaker 8: it's the entire digestive system all you know, all of
Speaker 8: it includes a small intestine, the colon, all of it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, And you know, what you're saying makes sense because
Speaker 1: you know the old garbage in, garbage out thing. So,
Speaker 1: and you're talking about processed food and moving and all
Speaker 1: of that stuff. How do we avoid processed food? Because
Speaker 1: everybody says avoid processed food, it's not good for you,
Speaker 1: but it's everywhere and it's almost impossible to avoid.
Speaker 8: Well, I think there should be another day. It's get
Speaker 8: in your kitchen day. Today should be getting your darn
Speaker 8: kitchen day, which is actually go in your kitchen and
Speaker 8: actually make something instead of sitting there and watching you
Speaker 8: you're having a cup of coffee and calling, you know,
Speaker 8: like door Dash or somebody make food. So to me,
Speaker 8: when when my kids and I we actually cook the food,
Speaker 8: that's how you avoid processed foods. And you know, I'm
Speaker 8: not crazy. I don't think that. You know, you go
Speaker 8: to a birthday party with your own little meal brought
Speaker 8: to you. I think if you follow something called an
Speaker 8: eighty twenty or ninety ten ruh, eighty percent of time
Speaker 8: make cold foods inclemented foods, and ten to twenty percent
Speaker 8: of time you gotta go to a party or you're outside.
Speaker 8: You can't, you can't help it. But if you do
Speaker 8: that eighty twenty rollin and you're still better than ninety
Speaker 8: five percent of our country because you're right, there's there's
Speaker 8: there's stuff everywhere of all around you. You know, if
Speaker 8: you're in a city, you're anywhere in the community. To
Speaker 8: be able to have this process floods what I would say,
Speaker 8: but I do talk about something called purpose driven living.
Speaker 8: If you don't have a why, right, if you don't
Speaker 8: have a reason to do this, you're not going to
Speaker 8: do it, meaning that you have to find a reason.
Speaker 8: For me. I want to be around for my kids
Speaker 8: and my grandkids, not in a nursing home, cooked up
Speaker 8: to a tube. I want to be thriving. And we
Speaker 8: know multiple studies have shown that if you can live
Speaker 8: this way, you can live to vitality in your eighties nineties,
Speaker 8: and in some cultures they call them blue zones to
Speaker 8: one hundred and live and thrive. So that's what I
Speaker 8: talk about. You've got to have a reason to do this.
Speaker 8: Otherwise you're not going to No matter of ylight a
Speaker 8: book where ten people tell.
Speaker 1: You okay, And doctor Nandy, you made the connection between
Speaker 1: your brain and your gut, and you're saying, if you
Speaker 1: take care of your gut, you can heal your brain. So,
Speaker 1: like you said, you don't end up in a nursing
Speaker 1: home not knowing anybody who's around you, but you can,
Speaker 1: you know, keep your brain thriving as well. How do
Speaker 1: you make that connection?
Speaker 8: Yeah? So I made that connection because my dad had
Speaker 8: a devastating stroke and you know, he was very healthy
Speaker 8: and guy's never in the hospital, never never had any problems.
Speaker 8: When he had the stroke, we had no reason why,
Speaker 8: and we spend the next decade really doing everything for me,
Speaker 8: missed out and his grandkids in his life. So I
Speaker 8: said to myself, we got to find a reason why.
Speaker 8: I'm through research. You know, I'm a gash from grologist
Speaker 8: to research that we didn't have then when you had
Speaker 8: the stroke where we do now we know that the
Speaker 8: gut and inflammation, and the gut can lead to inflammation
Speaker 8: all throughout your body. Remember the gut wall is where
Speaker 8: all all your food and all your toxins come through.
Speaker 8: If you don't have a good gut wall and don't
Speaker 8: decrease inflammation, the gut inflammation can spread to all parts
Speaker 8: of your body, including your brain, and then start brain inflammation.
Speaker 8: And every three seconds someone's diagnosed with dementia, every six
Speaker 8: seconds someone diagnosed to Alzheimer's, every four minutes someone dies
Speaker 8: the stroke. This is a crisis. And I think if
Speaker 8: you do some of the things I talk about in
Speaker 8: the book, like your recipe and the simple tips, you
Speaker 8: can really change your life and uplift it. So when
Speaker 8: you have Alzheimer's at age seventy, it actually started at
Speaker 8: age fifty. If you have Clark Parking Sims at age sixty,
Speaker 8: it's actually start at age forty. So time to act
Speaker 8: is not when you have the disease, but before it
Speaker 8: and a big simple things like I talk about, you know,
Speaker 8: purpose driven living, move with purpose, have have a decent diet,
Speaker 8: have community and spirituality that would uplift your life to
Speaker 8: prevent these devastating diseases start taking over our country. As
Speaker 8: a physician, I see even at the gastrologercy Countleistation suffering
Speaker 8: from this. I think we have a great chance to
Speaker 8: make now, make the changes because we have the research
Speaker 8: to show this connection that's really present throughout all in
Speaker 8: all parts of the world.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like how you're saying, do it now, don't
Speaker 1: wait until there are the symptoms. It's sort of like
Speaker 1: with you know, people are seeing skin cancer when they're fifty.
Speaker 1: It's because of the sunburn they got when they were ten.
Speaker 8: One hundred percent and there's only doc.
Speaker 2: I'm good.
Speaker 8: I don't need your health because I'm fine, and say, well,
Speaker 8: in your body, if I go into your gut and
Speaker 8: I look at the look at the gut wall, I
Speaker 8: bet you that pepperoni pizza along with the cheesy fries
Speaker 8: and the diet drink did not help your gut wall. Right,
Speaker 8: And if you do it several times a day, you
Speaker 8: can see changes need in your gut, the same changes
Speaker 8: you see in the brain of a Parkingson disease. So
Speaker 8: the gut wall can have the same Louis bodies that
Speaker 8: you see in Parkinson's brains. I mean, we the evidence
Speaker 8: is all around us. We just have to act on it.
Speaker 8: And like you said, just like try to put some
Speaker 8: sunscreen on so that you don't have the skin cancer
Speaker 8: twenty years later. Try to be able to do the
Speaker 8: things to protect your gut so you can thrive in
Speaker 8: your seventies and not seenurologists and take medicine just to
Speaker 8: be able to walk. So that's the key. You can
Speaker 8: do it, and you have the power to do it.
Speaker 8: And that's what we call it being a health hero,
Speaker 8: making your health and your wellness your priority, and we
Speaker 8: all have the power to do that.
Speaker 1: I love it that we have the power to do it.
Speaker 1: So getting inflammation down is a key factor. And I
Speaker 1: know that you go much more in depth about this
Speaker 1: in your book. It's called Heal your Gut, Save Your Brain,
Speaker 1: Doctor Nandy. Where can people get that and get more information.
Speaker 8: You can go to Amazon. They can go to Barnes
Speaker 8: and Nobles and New York Times, follow Suits and everywhere
Speaker 8: you can you can get books. You can go to
Speaker 8: our website, but really you know, anywhere books are sold.
Speaker 8: You can get the book as a present. So I'm
Speaker 8: proud of it, and I hope that it can change lives.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm reading through some of the recipes. They look
Speaker 1: kind of delicious. So doctor Nandy, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for the information. Good for us to know. Act now,
Speaker 1: don't wait until you start seeing symptoms. Get your brain
Speaker 1: healthy too. Thanks so much. Have a great.
Speaker 8: Day, you two. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Okay, So that was really interesting and I'm holding the
Speaker 1: book right now, and I haven't had a chance because
Speaker 1: I just got it, so I've only been able to
Speaker 1: sort of briefly look through it. But really interesting information.
Speaker 1: Like I said, some of the recipes look pretty good,
Speaker 1: and it just sounds like it's it's not that hard
Speaker 1: to do. And wouldn't it be great to be ninety
Speaker 1: years old and be vibrant and thriving and seeing your
Speaker 1: kids and your grandkids. I like that option because I've
Speaker 1: seen the others. Another oil refinery in the La area
Speaker 1: could be closing. Last week, Philip sixty six announced it
Speaker 1: would close its La facility by the end of next year.
Speaker 1: Now Valero says it could be next. And Israeli strike
Speaker 1: on a five story building in the northern Gaza strip
Speaker 1: is killed at least sixty people. According to Gaza's Health Ministry,
Speaker 1: as Belah announced that it has chosen Sikh name Kassam
Speaker 1: as its new leader and has promised to stick to
Speaker 1: Hassan Nasraala's policies until it says victory is achieved. Grab
Speaker 1: Lover's going to have to wait a little bit longer.
Speaker 1: The dungeness crabs season along the California coast has been delayed,
Speaker 1: pushed back from November fifteenth to December first. State officials
Speaker 1: say the delay will protect migrating humpback whales from getting
Speaker 1: tangled in fishing equipment. I think I can justify waiting
Speaker 1: for dungeness crab a couple weeks for that. We're just
Speaker 1: minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, State
Speaker 1: Farm has some splinan to do. It's being accused of
Speaker 1: boosting profits at the same time it's saying it needs
Speaker 1: a thirty percent rate hike. Let's say good morning to
Speaker 1: the host of How to Money on KFI. It's Joel Larsgard. Joel.
Speaker 1: Sorry to keep you waiting, but we had to learn
Speaker 1: how to keep our brains healthy.
Speaker 3: I will always wait for you, amy Ah.
Speaker 1: You're so sweet.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 1: The cost of a college degree. We were going to
Speaker 1: talk about this last week ran out of time. So
Speaker 1: the big question is is it worth it? And does
Speaker 1: everybody need one? So I also money.
Speaker 3: Guy, I'll answer the second question first, No, everybody does
Speaker 3: not need one. And is it worth it actually depends
Speaker 3: on a whole bunch of different factors. Right, So what
Speaker 3: are you getting your degree in and how much did
Speaker 3: you pay to get that degree? And how long did
Speaker 3: it take you to get that degree. So let's say
Speaker 3: we're getting an arts and humanities degree. On average, it's
Speaker 3: important to look at the numbers. The unemployment rate is
Speaker 3: much higher for people who have an arts and humanities
Speaker 3: degree versus someone who has, let's say an engineering degree,
Speaker 3: and you talk about the median salary for a person
Speaker 3: with an arts and humanities degree. Bank Rate just ran
Speaker 3: these numbers and they said that the average salary is
Speaker 3: like forty thousand dollars, whereas the average starting salary for
Speaker 3: an electrical engineer is like one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: So when we're talking and granted, like could I be
Speaker 3: a great engineer?
Speaker 1: No way, that's what it's going to ask. Because I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't have a brain that would have
Speaker 1: let me get an engineering degree. Even if I thought, wow,
Speaker 1: that's a good idea.
Speaker 3: Same same, And so I don't think you can just
Speaker 3: say you can't bend your personality to the numbers here
Speaker 3: and say I guess I'm going to get an engineering degree,
Speaker 3: even though I have no capacity to do this thing right,
Speaker 3: But it is worth at least looking and seeing, well,
Speaker 3: what is this degree. I'm actively considering how much is
Speaker 3: it worth in the market and how much debt am
Speaker 3: I taking on to get this degree. So let's say
Speaker 3: you do get one of those arts and humanities degree
Speaker 3: because that's the way your brain is wired, and you
Speaker 3: spend You can take on one hundred and twenty thousand
Speaker 3: dollars in student loan debt in order to get that degree,
Speaker 3: and then your average starting salary is let's say forty
Speaker 3: thousand dollars. Well, that's a really bad move. It's really
Speaker 3: tough to overcome all the debt you had to take
Speaker 3: on to get that degree when the job prospects are slim.
Speaker 3: I mean, when you step back and you look at
Speaker 3: the overall gap between people with a high school degree
Speaker 3: and a college degree, the lifetime earnings are still somewhere
Speaker 3: close to a million dollars different so I do think
Speaker 3: there is value to a college degree. Still, I think
Speaker 3: you just have to be even more ready to parse
Speaker 3: the numbers and really consider what degree you're getting, what
Speaker 3: the likelihood is of getting a job in the field,
Speaker 3: how much that's going to pay, and how much debt
Speaker 3: you're taking on. If you can keep debt to a minimum,
Speaker 3: you can go for that Arts and Humanity degree. If
Speaker 3: it costs you twenty thousand instead of one hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty thousand, that's a big difference.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we're more like more than likely Jill talking
Speaker 1: to the parents of those kids who are going to
Speaker 1: go to college right now. So for the parents you
Speaker 1: got a kid and they're like, oh, yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to go to college. I mean, like, what are some
Speaker 1: of the things that you need to impart on your
Speaker 1: kids as you guys make that decision.
Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing is to talk about the
Speaker 3: downsides of extreme debtloads, right, and it's easier now to
Speaker 3: do than ever before, just with the headline student loan
Speaker 3: debt overall all this talk about student loan forgiveness, and look,
Speaker 3: it hasn't come to pass, and so it's really incumbent
Speaker 3: upon you as a parent to talk to your kid
Speaker 3: about the trade offs of going to college. And there
Speaker 3: are some positive benefits. There's a lot of positive networking benefits. Right,
Speaker 3: some of your best friends are typically made in college,
Speaker 3: and some of your best networking abilities come from people
Speaker 3: you went to college with too. So I think that
Speaker 3: is an intangible that a lot of people don't factor in.
Speaker 3: But you've got to talk about how much debt we're
Speaker 3: taking on. And I think the biggest way this comes
Speaker 3: up is talking about going to a dream school. And
Speaker 3: the dream school might be the cheapest one, but it
Speaker 3: might not, And so talking about the trade off of
Speaker 3: value for getting the degree, and hey, actually, is there
Speaker 3: a way that we can go about getting this degree
Speaker 3: for less money. Let's apply to more schools. Let's look
Speaker 3: into financial aid. That's actually something that doesn't get talked
Speaker 3: about enough.
Speaker 7: Is that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as the price of college has risen, more generous
Speaker 3: financial aid packages have been coming out of some of
Speaker 3: these schools. So apply to more schools, figure out how
Speaker 3: much a school is going to give you, and be
Speaker 3: a little more discerning instead of just saying I think
Speaker 3: I look good in orange, so I'm going to go
Speaker 3: to this or that school or man, I think I
Speaker 3: look good in powder blue. Let me get you know, like,
Speaker 3: don't nobody think about powder blue? Of course they do,
Speaker 3: come on, that's a great color. So you just need
Speaker 3: to kind of think through all those things before you
Speaker 3: just decide on a college because it's that debt. The
Speaker 3: four years is great, but then the debt load can
Speaker 3: hang around with you for forty Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you just got to be smart like everything else.
Speaker 1: For a lot more great advice on your money, what
Speaker 1: to do with it, how to spend it, how not
Speaker 1: to spend it. You can listen to how to Money
Speaker 1: with Joel lars Guard Sundays noon to two right here
Speaker 1: on KFI. You can also follow him at how to Money. Joel.
