Speaker 1: are in their fifty sixty thousand people and everybody's holding

Speaker 1: name of somebody who's been affected by it. And they
Speaker 1: showed all the players and when they panned by Freddy
Speaker 1: Freeman and he said my mom of course I started crying,
Speaker 1: but I just thought that it was a very beautiful moment.
Speaker 1: And it was very eye opening too because so many
Speaker 1: people like had three or four of the signs and
Speaker 1: they had like five or six people on there. It's
Speaker 1: amazing how pervasive this stupid thing is. And you know,
Speaker 1: cancer sucks, and they're working to find treatment and preven
Speaker 1: sure it stand up to cancer. It was a very
Speaker 1: cool moment, very moving last night. During this series Not

Speaker 1: get started with some of the stories coming out of
Speaker 1: the twenty four hour KFI newsroom. The Dodgers are still
Speaker 1: a win away from clinching the World Series after losing
Speaker 1: Game four to the Yankees. New York won it eleven
Speaker 1: to four last night to stave off a sweep. Dodgers
Speaker 1: manager Dave Roberts says they knew going into the game
Speaker 1: that the Yankees were not going to be easy beats.
Speaker 5: I don't think anyone expected those guys to lay down,
Speaker 5: and we had some at bats that I thought could
Speaker 5: have been better.
Speaker 1: Game five is happening today at Yankee Stadium. First pitch
Speaker 1: goes out at five oh eight. Police in LA say
Speaker 1: they're going to be on the lookout for unruly celebrations
Speaker 1: as the Dodgers get close to winning the World Series
Speaker 1: in New York. The LAPD says it will activate a
Speaker 1: command post dedicated to watching and sending out officers to
Speaker 1: maintain a safe environment for a peaceful celebration. Sheriff Luna
Speaker 1: says his deputies will give several warnings and dispersal orders,
Speaker 1: but we'll arrest people who break the law. Past celebrations
Speaker 1: have included people doing donuts in intersections. Immigrant rights activists
Speaker 1: have spoken against the nomination of Jim McDonald to lead
Speaker 1: the LAPD.

Speaker 6: Hernandez joined the groups and says LA needs a new
Speaker 6: sanctuary city law, especially if Trump wins the presidency.

Speaker 1: we need to do everything we can to protect the
Speaker 1: immigrant families and the immigrants here in the City of

Speaker 4: Thanks you, Maik.
Speaker 1: It's five eight on your Wednesday morning wake up call.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. So, Giordana,
Speaker 1: there's a new head of Hezbollah.
Speaker 5: That's right. His name is Niam Kassim. He served as
Speaker 5: Hesbala's deputy right under Hassan Nostralla, who Israel assassinated some
Speaker 5: weeks ago. He's been in the organization for thirty years.
Speaker 5: He's part of the religious Shura council. He was trained
Speaker 5: as a chemist. He doesn't really have a military background,
Speaker 5: if you will. He's a very recognizable figure within Hasbalah.
Speaker 5: But we have to say he is not the kind
Speaker 5: of charismatic leader that Nostralla was, and he doesn't have
Speaker 5: the same kind of regional influence and ties with aaran
Speaker 5: with hamas leaders and so you know, this is a replacement.
Speaker 5: But really for Hasbella, not the same kind of caliber
Speaker 5: of leader that they had for you know, decades.
Speaker 1: Does he have the same stance as the previous one.
Speaker 5: He does, He doesn't seem to be showing any more flexibility.
Speaker 5: If you will on ending the fighting with Israel across
Speaker 5: the you know, from southern Lebanon and in parts of Beirute.
Speaker 5: He's essentially said, you know, we will only end the
Speaker 5: fighting when there's a seafire in Gaza, which was an
Speaker 5: Estralla's position. And he is no less strident against what
Speaker 5: he called, you know, the Israeli enemy, they're aggression. Uh,
Speaker 5: you know, so he's not he's not by any means
Speaker 5: a more moderate leader. And you know he was only
Speaker 5: announced yes as the new leader of Husbola, and already
Speaker 5: the Israeli Defense Minister put up a picture of him
Speaker 5: and said, well, he's he's he's a temporary leader. In
Speaker 5: other words, we're probably going.
Speaker 8: To take him out.
Speaker 5: Right, So you can see that the you know, the
Speaker 5: war of words and on the battlefield is continuing, right.
Speaker 5: There's today Israel issued new evacuation order. They're going after
Speaker 5: arms depots, and we're continuing to see intense combat in
Speaker 5: southern Lebanon.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, Jordana, I'm curious, because you watch all of
Speaker 1: this so closely, we know that when they took out Israla,
Speaker 1: there was talk that maybe there was some opportunity to
Speaker 1: bring a resolution to all of this because he wasn't there.
Speaker 1: And with this new guy in, even though he's talking
Speaker 1: the same talk because he's not as charismatic and doesn't
Speaker 1: have the connections that NAZRAELA had, will could he end
Speaker 1: up being a little more pliable or does he? Or
Speaker 1: is it just across the board that that's the stance
Speaker 1: that they're going to keep and and they're sticking to
Speaker 1: their guns, so to speak.
Speaker 5: Well, I think that's a good point. I mean, maybe
Speaker 5: we'll see nine Cossam show some more moderation, but I
Speaker 5: think the only thing that's going to change has Balla's
Speaker 5: position is you know, their concern with surviving, right, Israel
Speaker 5: has significantly set them back their leadership, their top leadership,
Speaker 5: their middle leadership. They've definitely degraded their rocket capabilities, their
Speaker 5: missile capabilities. His ball still has you know, thousands of
Speaker 5: rockets and missiles, but it's not the arsenal that Israel
Speaker 5: feared a year ago, right because before Israel went in
Speaker 5: on the ground, we didn't cover it every day because
Speaker 5: we were focused on Gaza. But there's been a consistent
Speaker 5: back and forth of you know, bombing by Israel of
Speaker 5: southern Lebanon, and has balifying rocket. So they've gone through
Speaker 5: a lot and Israel's destroyed a lot, and so I
Speaker 5: think Hasbala will end up, I think, being forced to
Speaker 5: negotiate a diplomatic solution along the border out of the
Speaker 5: need to really survive this war with Israel. And I
Speaker 5: think that's going to be the guiding principle and not
Speaker 5: necessarily some ideological change. Hasbala will never accept the state
Speaker 5: of Israel or its presence in this region, and I
Speaker 5: think that's clear to everybody at the table. But Hasbala
Speaker 5: is not only you know, a kind of cancer for Israel,
Speaker 5: but it really is for Lebanon and for the region,
Speaker 5: and that includes, you know, for Egypt, for Jordan. So
Speaker 5: the fact that Israel has been able to weaken them
Speaker 5: significantly is a plus not just for Israel, but for
Speaker 5: the West, for the Sunni States. And I think, you know,
Speaker 5: we're going to I think the diplomatic process that's going
Speaker 5: on right now, there's a huge push for Israel and
Speaker 5: Lebanon UH to try to come to some kind of terms,
Speaker 5: to come to a diplomatic solution, and we see President
Speaker 5: by the making a final push. He's sending almost Holkstein
Speaker 5: Brett McGirk back to the region. They're going to meet
Speaker 5: with Israelis tomorrow. They'll likely go on to Beirute if
Speaker 5: they can set you know, set down some of the
Speaker 5: framework for a deal that can be worked on in
Speaker 5: this administration or the next. That's what they're going to
Speaker 5: try to do. So that's the best way to really
Speaker 5: ensure the end.
Speaker 1: Of the Okay, Jordana, thank you so much as always
Speaker 1: for all of the information, and we will continue.
Speaker 4: To be watching. Talk to you soon, Talk soon, Kim High.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four Our news from the La
Speaker 1: City Council has approved a motion to stop evictions for
Speaker 1: the remodeling of a housing unit. Council members voted eleven
Speaker 1: to then yesterday to get the Housing Department and the
Speaker 1: City Attorney's office to update the just Cause for Eviction ordinance.
Speaker 1: Right now, the city terms a substantial remodel as a
Speaker 1: no fault eviction, meaning tenants can be evicted if their
Speaker 1: unit needs work and the property owner self certifies that
Speaker 1: it's going to take thirty days or more to finish.
Speaker 1: Council members say that is unfair to tenants. FEMA and
Speaker 1: cal Oees have offered forty two million dollars towards a
Speaker 1: voluntary property buyout program for homes impacted by landslides in
Speaker 1: Rancho Palace verties.
Speaker 9: The program applies to homes in the Greater Portuguese Bend
Speaker 9: area and we'll cover seventy five percent of the buyout.
Speaker 9: The homeowner will be responsible for the remaining quarter. Mayor
Speaker 9: John Crookshank says certain homes will have top priorities.
Speaker 8: The very top of the list are red tag homes,
Speaker 8: then the yellow tagged homes, and then those that have
Speaker 8: been de energized.
Speaker 9: The homes bought by the city will be demolished and
Speaker 9: houses will never again be built on the lot. Homeowners
Speaker 9: interested in applying need to schedule an inspection by November
Speaker 9: fourth and submit an application by November eighth. Chris Adler KFI.

Speaker 1: found in sixty species of fish to send a sediment
Speaker 1: near a chemical dump site off the coast of LA One.
Speaker 10: Hundreds of tons of the now banned toxic chemical were
Speaker 10: dumped decades ago. Script's lead researcher, Lilian McGill says The
Speaker 10: findings can help inform consumption advisories on which fish caught
Speaker 10: near the massive dump site that people should not eat,
Speaker 10: things like.
Speaker 7: White croker or benthic fish that sort of live right
Speaker 7: at the sediment, and this will be things like turbot
Speaker 7: or sand.
Speaker 4: Dab or halibate.
Speaker 10: Thousands of barrels of DDT were found in the ocean
Speaker 10: near Catalina Island in twenty twenty before researchers estimated the
Speaker 10: dump site to be two times larger than in Manhattan.

Speaker 1: to the host of Rich on Tech on KFI KTLAS
Speaker 1: Tech reporter Rich DeMuro, Good morning.
Speaker 13: Rich, Good morning to you.
Speaker 5: Amy.
Speaker 1: So Apple finally unveiled it's Apple Intelligence a month or
Speaker 1: so after the new phones came out.
Speaker 13: Yes, and many months after Samsung and Google have had theirs,
Speaker 13: but that doesn't really matter to iPhone users because this
Speaker 13: is fresh for them. So yes, Apple Intelligence now available
Speaker 13: through a software update iOS eighteen point one. This will
Speaker 13: work on the iPhone fifteen Pro models and also the
Speaker 13: iPhone sixteen models. So you do have to have a
Speaker 13: relatively new phone to take advantage of this. And once
Speaker 13: you update your software, you do have to opt in.
Speaker 13: It takes a little bit, but then I'll say, oh,
Speaker 13: Apple Intelligence is available, do you want to use it?
Speaker 13: And you say yes, And then you can have all
Speaker 13: these new things, which there's a couple today writing tools.
Speaker 13: This lets you rewrite stuff, summarize text. Siri has a
Speaker 13: new design, so when you press the Seri button now
Speaker 13: it'll light up like around the edge of your screen.
Speaker 13: It glows. That's pretty cool. You can search your photos
Speaker 13: in an easier way. There's a tools so you can
Speaker 13: remove unwanted objects from your photos, emails to be summarized,
Speaker 13: and you can record phone calls now, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Really Okay, So I've seen because I did the update,
Speaker 1: because we talked last week, and I've seen a couple
Speaker 1: of times where it says use AI to do this,
Speaker 1: and I always go.
Speaker 4: Huh no, So I need to venture out. So what
Speaker 4: would be a good thing to dip my toe in. Well,
Speaker 4: for those of us you are still leary of AI.
Speaker 13: You can just like start writing a text message and
Speaker 13: then select the text that you wrote. So say like
Speaker 13: something really simple like want to come over and hang out,
Speaker 13: And then you can select that text and you'll get
Speaker 13: a new option that says writing tools. You might have
Speaker 13: to scroll over and then they'll say do you want
Speaker 13: to proofread this? Do you want to rewrite it? Do
Speaker 13: you want to make this friendly, professional, concise, summarize key
Speaker 13: points list table? So anywhere there is text on your phone,
Speaker 13: anywhere there's a text box, you can select that text
Speaker 13: and use those writing tools. So anything about this is
Speaker 13: that if you've been using AI to kind of help
Speaker 13: you write things. Now it's all in one place. You
Speaker 13: don't have to hop between apps, which is neat the
Speaker 13: cleanup tool in the photos that's an easy one to
Speaker 13: just try out. Just go into your photos, find an
Speaker 13: image that has something that's you know, you just want
Speaker 13: to RaSE a person or whatever, and then just tap
Speaker 13: the little cleanup tool in the edit menu and you
Speaker 13: can watch it just disappear. And the animation is really fun.
Speaker 13: That's like the best part is the animation. It's like
Speaker 13: this cool glittery or glowy animation that it does.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, I did notice in the in the
Speaker 1: update that photos is different.
Speaker 4: I got to figure it out.
Speaker 1: There's something wonky about it, like it used to say
Speaker 1: edit and now it doesn't.
Speaker 13: Yes, you are absolutely right. That's thrown a lot of
Speaker 13: people off. It's in the lower Yeah, it's in the
Speaker 13: lower bottom middle and it's like three little lines like
Speaker 13: almost like adjustments.
Speaker 14: Right.
Speaker 13: But yes, and also the photos app is really different.
Speaker 13: People are very upset because the photos app is completely different.
Speaker 13: My advice is to go scroll all the way down
Speaker 13: to where it says customize and reorder and basically hide
Speaker 13: everything except for the stuff that you want, because they
Speaker 13: put a lot of nonsense in there. Now, all I
Speaker 13: want is my photos and my favorites, Like you couldn't.
Speaker 13: I couldn't even find my favorites for like twenty minutes.
Speaker 4: Yeah okay, so it wasn't just me.
Speaker 1: I feel better now, yeah okay, okay, So back to
Speaker 1: the AI thing. They so they've rolled out some cool
Speaker 1: new features, but don't they have some things that aren't
Speaker 1: yet ready to go?
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 13: Yes, this is a very slow rollout. So coming in December,
Speaker 13: you'll be able to generate emojis from like if you
Speaker 13: want like a person, you know, whatever, you're talking with
Speaker 13: a friend and you're having sushi and you want to
Speaker 13: make a sushi donut, you can make that whatever. You
Speaker 13: can make images, you can chat with chat ebt. So
Speaker 13: that's all coming in December. This has been a very
Speaker 13: slow rollout. Apple is being very deliberate with this because
Speaker 13: we've seen so many issues with AI. I think that
Speaker 13: they are just trying to be very slow methodical about
Speaker 13: this because already people are posting their notification summaries, which
Speaker 13: can be pretty wonky, and so you know, they just
Speaker 13: don't want a big issue with all this stuff going viral.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, and then let's move over to Chrome
Speaker 1: because Chrome is now going to protect you.
Speaker 13: Yes, this is a feature that's been in Chrome for
Speaker 13: a while, but I don't think a lot of people
Speaker 13: know about it. And it actually I did a little
Speaker 13: test the other day. I got like one of those
Speaker 13: spam emails and I clicked the same link in both
Speaker 13: Chrome and on my iPhone on Safari, and Chrome immediately
Speaker 13: put up this big red screen and said this is dangerous.
Speaker 13: Do not click this link. And it made me go
Speaker 13: through like three more clicks to actually click the link.
Speaker 13: And I knew it was bad, but you know, I
Speaker 13: know what I'm doing, so it was okay. On Safari,
Speaker 13: it just let me go right to it. I said, ooh,
Speaker 13: that's really bad. For people that are a little bit
Speaker 13: less tech savvy or that want to be protected from themselves,
Speaker 13: it's nice to have that protection. And so Google offers
Speaker 13: something called safe Browsing. The the default setting is on
Speaker 13: by I guess the basic setting is on by default,
Speaker 13: but the highest setting is called Enhanced Protection, and this
Speaker 13: will protect you from things that Google hasn't even discovered yet.
Speaker 13: So let's say you're the first person to ever get
Speaker 13: this spam email with this bad link in it. AI
Speaker 13: will kick in to actually recognize that that link is
Speaker 13: bad and be like, Okay, this is not this is
Speaker 13: a phishing email. Let's protect this person.
Speaker 4: So it's altbe for the good guys.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a little step above. So anyway, I put
Speaker 13: the directions on my Facebook page Facebook dot com slash
Speaker 13: rich on tech on how to enable that. It's pretty simple,
Speaker 13: you go into your Chrome settings. But I think if
Speaker 13: you're not super tech savvy, it's probably a good thing
Speaker 13: to turn on.
Speaker 1: I think that sounds great because, you know, until they
Speaker 1: figure out another way to get around it.
Speaker 4: But anything that we can.
Speaker 1: Do to keep ourselves safe and not fall victims to
Speaker 1: scams is a good thing. You can find out many
Speaker 1: more tech tips with our host of Rich on Tech
Speaker 1: every Saturday from eleven to two right here on KFI.
Speaker 1: You can also see them on KTLA and follow up
Speaker 1: on Instagram at rich on Tech and as he mentioned,
Speaker 1: his website rich on tech dot tv with lots and

Speaker 1: Garr died in Los Angeles yesterday following a long battle
Speaker 1: with multiple sclerosis. Terry Gar was seventy nine, always one
Speaker 1: of my favorites. At five point fifty. McDonald says, it's
Speaker 1: back on track. We're going to find out what's next
Speaker 1: for McDonald's and for the California farm that appears to
Speaker 1: be the source of the E Coli outbreak with ABC's
Speaker 1: Jim Ryanami.
Speaker 4: On it, Dami's on it, Daimi's on it, Damie's on it.
Speaker 4: What am I on?
Speaker 1: I'm on streaming things, movies, documentaries, series, sometimes regular TV.
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm gonna I have some regular TV thoughts
Speaker 1: to share coming up.
Speaker 4: But today I'm.
Speaker 1: On Woman of the Hour, Woman of the Hour by Netflix.
Speaker 1: So it's Anna Kendrick's directorial debut. You'll remember her from
Speaker 1: Pitch Perfect and several other or she's cute and spunky. Well,
Speaker 1: this is a different kind of movie. She stars and
Speaker 1: directs in the movie, it's about a serial killer who
Speaker 1: goes on the dating game. It's set in the late
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies. The serial killer is Rodney al Calla. And
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you whoever the guy the actress and
Speaker 1: I don't have his name with me right now, but yeah,
Speaker 1: he does a good job because he is cree p
Speaker 1: You may remember the name Rodney al Kala because the
Speaker 1: movie is based on a true story. It is creepy
Speaker 1: and it is unsettling from the very start, Like within
Speaker 1: the first few minutes of the show, like you get
Speaker 1: that weird pit in your stomach, and I went, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can watch this movie because
Speaker 1: it's just creepy. It follows him as he finds and
Speaker 1: stalks and kills and Anna Kendrick's character, Cheryl Bradshaw, is
Speaker 1: an aspiring actor who really isn't having a whole lot
Speaker 1: of luck in Hollywood. And then her agent says, hey,
Speaker 1: going on the dating game. It'll be really good for you.
Speaker 1: So she goes on the dating game. And I will
Speaker 1: tell you too, the dating game that they should depict
Speaker 1: in this movie is not the dating game that I
Speaker 1: remember seeing on TV when I was a young child.
Speaker 1: It would be interesting to see if that's how things
Speaker 1: really were in the late seventies. I'm guessing it probably was,
Speaker 1: but it does not paint it in a very positive light.
Speaker 1: It's not a slasher movie. It's a thriller, and like
Speaker 1: I said, it is chilling. And I don't want to
Speaker 1: tell you anything else about this because it is super
Speaker 1: creepy and as I mentioned, super unsettling. And it's a
Speaker 1: really great watch, some good twists and turns, some tragic stuff.
Speaker 1: If you're not familiar with the story. I don't want
Speaker 1: to ruin it for you. It is good. It's called
Speaker 1: Woman of the Hour. It just dropped last week on Netflix.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm on. I think you should be on
Speaker 1: it too. Let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A
Speaker 1: law firm says it's audit of La County's contracting process
Speaker 1: has found no systemic pattern of corruption. The county hired
Speaker 1: a law firm in twenty twenty two to do the
Speaker 1: audit following the indictment of former supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas
Speaker 1: on fraud and bribery charges. The auditors do say they
Speaker 1: have identified some processes in the county systems and controls
Speaker 1: that can be improved. They say there are weaknesses in
Speaker 1: the process of awarding third party contracts that leave the
Speaker 1: county susceptible to fraud, corruption, and conflicts of interest. The
Speaker 1: group Doctors Against Genocide is calling out Children's Hospital Orange
Speaker 1: County for staying silent as children and healthcare workers are

Speaker 9: and physicians in Gaza, and in arms embargo against Israel
Speaker 9: registered nurse RWDA sweiss as she feels helpless watching innocent
Speaker 9: children starving in Palestine.
Speaker 1: The injustices that are happening to people and raze, and
Speaker 1: the silence that our healthcare community has taken is a
Speaker 1: crime to stay silent.
Speaker 9: Pediatricians and nurses gathered outside of Chalk yesterday, saying money
Speaker 9: and fear have kept doctors in the US from speaking
Speaker 9: out against the genocide. More than forty three thousand people
Speaker 9: have been killed in the war in Gaza, more than
Speaker 9: half being women and children. Chris Adler kf I News.

Speaker 1: less than a week from election day. She spoke yesterday
Speaker 1: at the Ellipse in Washington, d C. She pledged to
Speaker 1: put country ahead of party.
Speaker 9: I'll be honest with you.

Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior says former President Trump has promised him control
Speaker 1: of the government's public health agencies if Trump is elected
Speaker 1: to office.
Speaker 4: Next week.
Speaker 8: The key to that, I think, you know, the President
Speaker 8: Trump has promised me is a control of the public
Speaker 8: health agencies, which are HHS and at sub agencies.
Speaker 1: Kennedy says that would be the CDC, FDA, NIH and
Speaker 1: others such as the US Department of Agriculture. A study
Speaker 1: shows smartphones might be better than brain games to help
Speaker 1: older people keep sharp minds. Researchers at the University of
Speaker 1: Texas in Arizona, Arizona State Rather found that digital reminders
Speaker 1: can help reprove a person's ability to remember to do
Speaker 1: things like taking medication and going to appointments. They found
Speaker 1: that having access to reminders like those on a phone
Speaker 1: can make life easier for older adults. I gotta teach
Speaker 1: my mom still how to use her cell phone. You know,
Speaker 1: some people just take to it. My mom has not,
Speaker 1: and she's like, Amy, how do I do this?
Speaker 4: She's kind of fun. Okay, So candy this year.
Speaker 1: I was a little surprised by this because you know,
Speaker 1: they do the surveys of what the best candy is
Speaker 1: and what your favorites are, and I'm thinking, you know,
Speaker 1: Milky Way, my favorite has always been like Butterfinger Snickers
Speaker 1: are pretty good Twixt's kit kats, those.
Speaker 4: Kinds of things.
Speaker 1: But the really popular candy this year is this one
Speaker 1: right here, Nerds gummy clusters. So I thought i'd go
Speaker 1: get some because I've never I'd never even heard of them,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to try them and have have Cono
Speaker 1: and try them too.
Speaker 4: And I went to the.
Speaker 1: Story yesterday to where all the Halloween candy is and
Speaker 1: they didn't have any, so I'm wondering if maybe they've
Speaker 1: already sold out. I did find them at the checkout counter,
Speaker 1: So this little bag cost me three dollars, but it
Speaker 1: was for show prep, so I justified it. So I
Speaker 1: thought we should test Nerds Gummy clusters, and have you
Speaker 1: tried yours yet?
Speaker 4: No, I was gonna do it with you guys. Okay,
Speaker 4: everybody shake a mouthful cono. This is one of my
Speaker 4: favorite candies. Really, you love it already. I love it.
Speaker 4: I get the family pack, and I shouldn't I eat
Speaker 4: it all to myself. My god, this is so good. Okay.
Speaker 1: So it's the little nerds, the little nuggets that looked
Speaker 1: like big sand yeah, and then it's got like a
Speaker 1: gummy in the middle. It's awesome and it's tangy bull sour.
Speaker 1: But I like the sour. Yeah, it makes it This
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. It makes it almost refreshing. I love all
Speaker 1: that sour, the sweet and sour.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Okay, so those are really good. All right, so
Speaker 4: thanks Amy. No I like another candy.
Speaker 1: I know, right well, I mean I usually like the
Speaker 1: chocolate e things, but this is, like I said, it's
Speaker 1: it's not as heavy as the chocolate, which also makes
Speaker 1: it dangerous because I could just shovel it into my
Speaker 1: mouth for you know, repeatedly as I'm staying on the couch.
Speaker 4: Okay, Nerds gummy clusters. Who knew?
Speaker 1: Uh here's another fan of Nerds gummy clusters. I just
Speaker 1: found this out, Nick Poliochani Okay.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you the weirdest thing ever though that
Speaker 3: I've done a deep dive real quick. You know fer
Speaker 3: Aerra Rochet, the chocolate candy. Yeah, they actually bought Nerds
Speaker 3: from Nestley back in nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 1: So it was a good investment because now the coment
Speaker 1: worth it's five hundred million dollars correct?
Speaker 3: How wild is that?
Speaker 13: Though?
Speaker 3: Like to think like this fancy bougie like candy like
Speaker 3: chocolate Candy Company bought nerds from Nesli, where you would
Speaker 3: think they would want it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly opposite the rochet and Nerds gummy clusters.
Speaker 3: And then they launched this back in twenty twenty, the
Speaker 3: Nerds gummy cluster, because they wanted to create something new
Speaker 3: like from Nerds they did. Yeah, and Brian loves these,
Speaker 3: like you know, but like for me because these are
Speaker 3: like grape nuts of candy to me, to think like
Speaker 3: nerds to me are like grape nuts of candy. Okay,
Speaker 3: so yeah, I think it's great though. And then the
Speaker 3: Nerds the ropes. The ropes are always fun. My nieces
Speaker 3: love the Nerds ropes, which are pretty much the Nerds
Speaker 3: gummy clusters, but in long rope form.
Speaker 1: Then they're covered with nerds the same way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. So if you think of like like the
Speaker 3: red vines, but in more like a gummy form, and
Speaker 3: they're just covered in nerds and they're delicious and they're
Speaker 3: so much fun.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll have to give those to try. Oh,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to try all the Halloween candy. Well,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers can put away the brooms. The Yankees clobber
Speaker 1: to La in Game four of the World Series last night,
Speaker 1: eleven to four. Game five is tonight again in New York.
Speaker 1: A Dodgers win earns the Dodgers the World Series title.
Speaker 1: A loss sends the series back to Los Angeles for
Speaker 1: Game six on Friday night. The man who attacked Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi's husband with a hammer will spend the rest of

Speaker 1: season rolls in. The storm's expected to bring heavy rain
Speaker 1: along the northern coast, up to twelve inches of snow
Speaker 1: in the mountains near Mount Shasta and three to six
Speaker 1: inches of snow nearly Lake Tahoe. We're just minutes away
Speaker 1: from handle. On the news this morning, President Biden. Biden
Speaker 1: has had his deplorables moment, calling Trump supporters garbage. Let's
Speaker 1: say good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. Well, after
Speaker 1: a nightmare of a week of e Coli removing items
Speaker 1: from their menu and a big hit in the stock market.
Speaker 1: McDonald's finally has something good to report.
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, the quarter pounder is back, and amy back
Speaker 8: at every restaurant with goodness. See Yeah, every McDonald's in
Speaker 8: the country has it again in nine hundred locations, primarily
Speaker 8: in Colorado, Utah. I think maybe Wyhooming it won't have
Speaker 8: the raw Onions center that it had before because there's still
Speaker 8: that apprehension about the raw onions has the likely source
Speaker 8: of an Equali outbreak that's made seventy five people are hurt,
Speaker 8: made them sick. One person has died. We know of
Speaker 8: other illnesses now, one fifteen year old in Colorado who
Speaker 8: says that after she ate a quarter pound er, she's
Speaker 8: suffering severe liver failure now and hoping to recover from that.
Speaker 8: So as hard as the CEO has been trying to
Speaker 8: limit the damage from this in a pr way, at
Speaker 8: least they are still facing some headwinds.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: The person who died from this, I know it was
Speaker 1: an older person eighty I believe, Oh, okay, And so
Speaker 1: do they know what it was that the the Ecali
Speaker 1: tax attacks internal organs?
Speaker 8: Yes, Okay, it does. Yeah, it's a serious, serious thing.
Speaker 8: And you know, we've been hearing a lot about different
Speaker 8: kinds of outbreaks lately. Equalize this spurred. It causes problems
Speaker 8: from the intestinal lining and is transferred from one person
Speaker 8: to another mainly by lack of hygiene. Listeria is another
Speaker 8: one out there, Nora virus salmon ellen. We hear about
Speaker 8: all of these related to food borne illnesses, some of
Speaker 8: them striking restaurants, others striking people's homes. But yeah, E
Speaker 8: Coli is a very serious one. It can be deadly,
Speaker 8: as we've learned.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so you said that the restaurants are going
Speaker 1: to put the quarter powder pounder back on the menu,
Speaker 1: but without the raw onions.
Speaker 4: Are they going to use like cooked onions or.
Speaker 8: Just no no onions, just no onions at all on
Speaker 8: that apparently? I mean, I don't think you could even
Speaker 8: asked for them to be put on. But in nine
Speaker 8: hundred of the locations, you know that something like one
Speaker 8: in five McDonald's restaurants pulled them. They pulled the quarter
Speaker 8: pounder all together. Now it's back on at all of them,
Speaker 8: but at nine hundred of them, nine hundred of that,
Speaker 8: what is it twenty seven, twenty eight hundred, the onions
Speaker 8: are still oft. And we also know, of course that
Speaker 8: other restaurant chains Togco, Belt, KFC, Pizza, Hut, Burger King,
Speaker 8: they all pulled those onions off as well because they
Speaker 8: were being supplied by the same company. So it's it's
Speaker 8: kind of affected the whole fast food industry.
Speaker 4: Ay, and Taco Bell without onions, that's a problem.
Speaker 8: It is raw onions. They're a major part of Taco Bell.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: So the onion farm that you said that they were
Speaker 1: traced back to is in northern California. Did they figure
Speaker 1: out exactly what the sources or have they said yet?
Speaker 8: Yeah, they've they've had, you know, issues, this Taylor Farms
Speaker 8: company there in northern California, and it was a processing
Speaker 8: facility in Colorado where those onions came from. So, you know,
Speaker 8: poor Taylor Farms. They're trying to repair its image as well,
Speaker 8: doing everything it can to clean up its act and
Speaker 8: try to get back on its feet. For McDonald's. You know,
Speaker 8: we'll have to see how long the damage lasts from this,
Speaker 8: because I mean we've heard about other issues at different
Speaker 8: change as we talk about I mean in Chipotle, remember
Speaker 8: that there's an equally outbreak there. It started in twenty
Speaker 8: fifteen years of damage done to the public relations effort there,
Speaker 8: twenty five million dollar fine. So you know McDonald's is
Speaker 8: hoping not to follow that kind of example.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for that farm, do you think they're going
Speaker 1: to lose their contract with McDonald's or do we know that?
Speaker 12: Well?
Speaker 1: You know, can they because they like we talked about
Speaker 1: the supply of onions that they need.
Speaker 4: Can they cancel the contract?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 4: They could.
Speaker 8: I mean there are other sources out there, other suppliers
Speaker 8: and contractors who could bring in the onions. I think
Speaker 8: Taylor Farms was chosen probably for a lot of reasons,
Speaker 8: the price, the availability, you know, their ability to deliver
Speaker 8: to hundreds of locations. So, you know, could they lose
Speaker 8: the Tailor Farm's contract potentially, could they change it to
Speaker 8: a different one. I mean, at those nine hundred locations,
Speaker 8: they've essentially lost Tailor Farms altogether.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, And the good news is quarterback pounders are back
Speaker 1: on the menu and hopefully nice and safe.
Speaker 8: Well let's hope.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 8: I mean, you walk into a restaurant, you expect good food.
Speaker 8: It tastes good, and you expect a good to get
Speaker 8: the value for your dollar. But at the heart of everything,
Speaker 8: I mean, you expect not to get sick from eating there. Yeah,
Speaker 8: you know, that's the pr nightmare of any rush.
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see what what their sales do
Speaker 1: like over the next few months. Like you said, it
Speaker 1: just about killed Chipotle. They did come back. But you
Speaker 1: know when you walk in and you go, hmmm, is
Speaker 1: this burger going to be fine or is it going
Speaker 1: to make me sick? You know, I mean, like, how
Speaker 1: is that going to affect people's buying habits?
Speaker 8: Well, right now, it doesn't seem to be. It didn't
Speaker 8: didn't affect the bottom line. They just reported the third
Speaker 8: quarter sales and they were three percent six point eight
Speaker 8: billion dollars worldwide. But that, of course is right before
Speaker 8: this whole thing broke loose. If you look at last week,
Speaker 8: foot traffic through the doors at all McDonald's was down
Speaker 8: about nine nine and a half percent, and much higher
Speaker 8: than that in those locations specifically that were cited as
Speaker 8: equalized sources.
Speaker 1: All right, Jim Ryan, thank you so much. Appreciate it
Speaker 1: to you. Let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Governor
Speaker 1: Newsom has set aside more money for homelessness in LA.
Speaker 6: The city gets one hundred and sixty million dollars in
Speaker 6: the county ninety seven million in the latest round of
Speaker 6: state funding. Newsom joined Mayor Bass and other local leaders
Speaker 6: on skid Road to make that announcement, where the governor
Speaker 6: acknowledged the people of California want to see more results.
Speaker 8: No one is denine how angry people are, how frustrated
Speaker 8: they are, and how heartbroken they are.
Speaker 6: The cities of Long Beach, Pasadena, and Glendale will also
Speaker 6: get money through their homeless consortiums. The governor says. Funds
Speaker 6: for Orange County are still pending at ELI, said Michael
Speaker 6: Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: Zero Emission Transit says last week's World Series traffic in
Speaker 1: LA could have been minimized if fans had the Dodgers gondola.
Speaker 1: Spokesman Nathan Klicks as people don't want to be stuck
Speaker 1: in traffic or walk far on game day.
Speaker 14: The gondola would take ten thousand people to and from
Speaker 14: the Dodger Stadium. It would mean a twenty percent reduction
Speaker 14: in car traffic on game day.
Speaker 1: Click says seventy two percent of people in La support
Speaker 1: the gondola, especially residents who don't want to change their
Speaker 1: schedules whenever there's an event at the stadium. He says,
Speaker 1: if the gondola project is built, it'll be operational in
Speaker 1: time for the twenty twenty eight Olympics. Two Yankees fans
Speaker 1: with front row seats to last night's Game four of
Speaker 1: the World Series didn't get to stick around to see
Speaker 1: their Yankees win. They got ejected from the stadium after
Speaker 1: interfering with Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts while he was making
Speaker 1: a play on a foul ball down the right field line.
Speaker 1: It happened in the bottom of the first inning. As
Speaker 1: Bets went to catch the ball against the wall. One
Speaker 1: fan grabbed Betts's glove and didn't let go until he
Speaker 1: pried the ball out of the glove. The other fan
Speaker 1: grabbed Bets's right hand and wristed as the ball was
Speaker 1: being pulled out. The umpires said that was fan interference
Speaker 1: and ruled that the batter was out. The Yankees went
Speaker 1: on to win eleven to four, forcing a must win
Speaker 1: Game five. I saw the video of that. I missed it.
Speaker 1: I had the game on, but I missed that catch.
Speaker 1: That was absolutely crazy watching him reach into the glove
Speaker 1: and pry the ball out of the glove.
Speaker 4: Just crazy.
Speaker 1: The number of job o winnings fell in September. The
Speaker 1: labor departments is fewer than seven and a half million
