Speaker 1: You just never know how things are going to shake out.
Speaker 1: Still lots of counting to be done in California. We're

Speaker 1: Donald Trump has been elected the forty seventh president of
Speaker 1: the United States and will become just the second president
Speaker 1: in US history to serve non consecutive terms. The Senate
Speaker 1: has flipped. Republicans have picked up a couple of seats.
Speaker 1: Votes for the House are still being counted. It appears
Speaker 1: the Democrats could take back control of that chamber, but
Speaker 1: again still too early to say. Proposition thirty six, which
Speaker 1: will toughend penalties for repeat thieves, smash and grab robbers,
Speaker 1: and drug offenses, is passing with seventy percent support from voters.
Speaker 1: Election results, again in California, won't be certified until December third.
Speaker 1: The markets are reacting to the presidential election. Dow futures
Speaker 1: have jumped more than twelve hundred points three percent, NASDAK
Speaker 1: futures are up nearly two percent, and S and P
Speaker 1: futures are up two point two percent. Let's get started
Speaker 1: with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
Speaker 1: twenty four hour newsroom. Former President Trump has one Wisconsin
Speaker 1: and the two hundred and seventy electoral votes needed to
Speaker 1: win the presidential race. The Associated Press declared Trump the
Speaker 1: winner early this morning, with two hundred and seventy seven
Speaker 1: Electoral College votes to Vice President Harris's two hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty four. Trump appeared before a crowd of supporters overnight
Speaker 1: in Florida this is.
Speaker 5: A magnificent victory for the American people that will allow
Speaker 5: us to make America great again.
Speaker 1: Trump called it the greatest political movement of all time
Speaker 1: and vowed to keep his campaign promises. The economy and
Speaker 1: immigration were his biggest issues. Vice President Harris did not
Speaker 1: speak to supporters at her Alma monitor in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: As previously planned.
Speaker 2: You won't hear from the Vice President tonight.
Speaker 1: Has campaign co chair Cedric Richmond addressed the crowd last night,
Speaker 1: saying there were still votes to count.
Speaker 2: We still have states that have not been called yet.
Speaker 2: We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that
Speaker 2: every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken.
Speaker 1: Some supporters were in tears as they left the event.
Speaker 1: Richmond says Harris will be back at Howard University to
Speaker 1: speak today. Nathan Hackman has defeated George Gascon in the
Speaker 1: race for La County District Attorney.
Speaker 6: More than five hundred people showed up here at Hawkman's
Speaker 6: watch party in Beverly Hills. His son spoke first, followed
Speaker 6: by his wife, then brother who introduced him.
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to bring up what I
Speaker 5: know will be the next district attorney of Los Angeles County.
Speaker 7: Let's hear it from my brother, Nathan Hackman.
Speaker 6: The crowd Tuesday night was filled with a lot of
Speaker 6: current former prosecutors from the DA's office, along with first responders, donors, volunteers,
Speaker 6: and victims of crime. In Beverly Hill, Steve Gregory, King
Speaker 6: of I.
Speaker 1: Knew Akman got more than sixty one percent of the vote.
Speaker 1: Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff is one election to the US Senate.
Speaker 1: He meet former Dodgers player Steve Garvey. With more than
Speaker 1: fifty seven percent of the vote, shift will fill the
Speaker 1: Senate seat long held by the late Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Speaker 1: Republicans have taken control of the US Senate. The unexpected
Speaker 1: battleground state of Nebraska pushed Republicans over the top. Late yesterday,
Speaker 1: Democratic efforts to hold on to their Senate majorities slipped
Speaker 1: further out of reach when Democratic Senator Shared Brown in
Speaker 1: Ohio lost his re election race to Republican Bernie Moreno earlier,
Speaker 1: Republicans picked up a seat in West Virginia. Let's say
Speaker 1: good morning to ABC's Mike Debuski and Mike. I have
Speaker 1: to tell you and tell wake up call listeners that
Speaker 1: ABC sends out their availability for what ABC reporters are
Speaker 1: going to be available to us, and then I sometimes
Speaker 1: I sketch out some questions because I have an idea
Speaker 1: what I'm going to ask you. And and here's what
Speaker 1: I wrote, Mike, is in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, arguably the
Speaker 1: most important state in the election. How are things shaping up?
Speaker 1: I wrote that before I went to bed last night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, they've shaped up in the sense that Pennsylvania
Speaker 4: has been called for Donald Trump. This is, you know,
Speaker 4: a state that went for Joe Biden by a darrow
Speaker 4: margin about four and a half percent in twenty twenty,
Speaker 4: and it obviously went for Donald Trump in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 4: In both twenty sixteen and this time around seen as
Speaker 4: kind of the critical state here with nineteen electoral votes.
Speaker 4: This was not exactly the states that put Donald Trump
Speaker 4: over that two hundred and seventy electoral vote number that
Speaker 4: we were looking for. That was Wisconsin really kind of
Speaker 4: late into the night early morning hours for SCR on
Speaker 4: the East coast. But yeah, Pennsylvania, you know, kind of
Speaker 4: was one of the key factors here and a key
Speaker 4: part of the blue wall that Democrats really needed to
Speaker 4: win that, you know, three state series of Pennsylvania, mission
Speaker 4: and Wisconsin. Given our latest tallies here, ABC News is
Speaker 4: projecting that Donald Trump is going to win Pennsylvania, as
Speaker 4: I said, going to win Wisconsin, and we don't have
Speaker 4: a projection for Michigan yet, but there's certainly a lot
Speaker 4: of red there as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, and Mike, they they got these votes counted pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: I know that we had talked earlier about we might
Speaker 1: not know for days, maybe not for a week, but
Speaker 1: everything seemed to run pretty smoothly yesterday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we knew the Pennsylvania results. I mean
Speaker 4: we were up late, of course, but we would have
Speaker 4: been anyway. But you know, it did not take the
Speaker 4: days long period of time that you know, some were indicating.
Speaker 4: The local elections officials say that they put a lot
Speaker 4: of work into making sure that the process went a
Speaker 4: lot more smoothly this time around. Obviously, four years ago,
Speaker 4: we were waiting five days for an election result out
Speaker 4: of Pennsylvania. The Saturday after Election Day, in fact, was
Speaker 4: when we learned that Pennsylvania went for Joe Biden. Certainly
Speaker 4: not the case this time around. We had a result
Speaker 4: in the morning, but it was was certainly not into
Speaker 4: the you know Wednesday midday or even Thursday that some
Speaker 4: were predicting. You know, part of that might be the
Speaker 4: fact that elections officials kind of short up made sure
Speaker 4: that the machines were running properly, they had more machines,
Speaker 4: that they had better tabulation systems to make sure that
Speaker 4: this process went quickly. Part of this might also be
Speaker 4: the fact that this is a pretty decisive win for
Speaker 4: Donald Trump. I would say, I'm right here in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4: It is a crucial sort of suburb of Philadelphia. Obviously
Speaker 4: that is a Democratic stronghold. But here in Bucks County,
Speaker 4: this is you know, the first time we've seen this
Speaker 4: particular county turn red since nineteen eighty eight. You have
Speaker 4: to go back to the nineteen eighty eight George hw
Speaker 4: Bush and Michael Dukaka's election to final last time that
Speaker 4: Bucks County voted red. But you know, in interviewing elections,
Speaker 4: it has been very very close, you know, by a
Speaker 4: margin of just a few percentage points if if that so, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it is, you know, multiple factors left to be sort
Speaker 4: of uncovered this morning and figuring figuring out exactly you know,
Speaker 4: how certain sections voted, and you know, certainly some votes
Speaker 4: left to be counted, but you know, news projecting that
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is one Pennsylvania and pretty decisively.
Speaker 1: Okay, and Mike, you just mentioned what I was going
Speaker 1: to ask you about, whether it's too early to tell
Speaker 1: kind of what made the difference and what you know
Speaker 1: caused that. We know that the more urban and some
Speaker 1: of the suburban areas tend to vote more democratic, the
Speaker 1: more rural areas tend to go more Republican. But what
Speaker 1: was the shift?
Speaker 4: What made yeah? I mean, look, so Pennsylvania is basically
Speaker 4: a big square if you think about it in your mind,
Speaker 4: and there's kind of two Democratic strongholds on either side
Speaker 4: of the state. That's Philadelphia in the east, in Pittsburgh
Speaker 4: in the west, and of course they're sort of surrounding
Speaker 4: suburban areas. In the middle of the state, it's relatively rural.
Speaker 4: That's where Harrisburg is the state capital, and those have
Speaker 4: traditionally been deep red counties, whereas you know, democrats strategy
Speaker 4: had been to just drive up turnout in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh
Speaker 4: and the surrounding suburbs and surrounding counties there. Clearly that
Speaker 4: didn't happen at least to the degree that Democrats were
Speaker 4: expecting and Republicans ultimately ended up kind of taking Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4: It is a relatively you know, close race. I'm not
Speaker 4: going to say it's you know, certainly you know, not
Speaker 4: a blowout, no, no, a couple of points here, but
Speaker 4: even still, you know, you know, this is enough for
Speaker 4: ABC News to call a matter of you know, several
Speaker 4: hundred thousand votes here, or actually I should say just
Speaker 4: under two hundred thousand votes. So yeah, it's a pretty
Speaker 4: you know, decisive win for Republicans, and you see that
Speaker 4: kind of reflected down the ballot as well. We've had
Speaker 4: a pretty high profile Senate race take place here in
Speaker 4: Pennsylvania between Dave McCormick, or Republican former hedge fund manager,
Speaker 4: and Bob Casey, the incumbent Democratic senator who's represented Pennsylvania
Speaker 4: as a Democrat since two thousand and six. Right now,
Speaker 4: we haven't called the race yet, but it's a matter
Speaker 4: of percentage point and Dave McCormick is in the lead.
Speaker 4: It's also reflected in several kind of closed house races
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 1: And did you get a chance yesterday while you were
Speaker 1: cruising around Bucks County to talk to any of the voters.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did. And you know, we have some exit
Speaker 4: polling ABC News has put out there about sort of
Speaker 4: national sentiment and what things that voters had in mind
Speaker 4: when they were voting. The big issues this election cycle.
Speaker 4: One of them democracy protecting democracy was at the top
Speaker 4: of this exit poll. Next to that was the economy.
Speaker 4: Then a little further down the list was abortion and immigration.
Speaker 4: And Amy, I have to tell you that absolutely showed
Speaker 4: up on the ground here in Pennsylvania. JD. Vance held
Speaker 4: an event at the Newtown Athletic Clubs about ten minutes
Speaker 4: from where I'm sitting right now, and talking to Trump voters.
Speaker 4: Going into that event, they were saying that, Hey, I'm
Speaker 4: voting on the election, right, or excuse me, I'm voting
Speaker 4: on the economy. I'm concerned about wages, I'm concerned about inflation,
Speaker 4: I'm concerned about the Biden administration's economic policies. And you know,
Speaker 4: clearly that was an to sway voters here in Pennsylvania
Speaker 4: and here in Bucks County. And meanwhile, just to give
Speaker 4: you a taste to the other side, Kamala Harris mean
Speaker 4: her closing argument to voters here in Pennsylvania star studied
Speaker 4: event on the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum on
Speaker 4: Monday night. I was there talking to voters who are
Speaker 4: walking into that event. Amy. I couldn't find a single
Speaker 4: person who did not list abortion and women's rights issues
Speaker 4: at the top of the issues that mattered to them.
Speaker 8: This election cycle.
Speaker 1: Interesting, all right. Well, the votes are still being counted,
Speaker 1: we have some we still have some House races to
Speaker 1: be decided, we still have some Senate races to be decided.
Speaker 1: And we appreciate you giving us the information to help
Speaker 1: sort through everything. Appreciate it a lot. Mike Debuski, have
Speaker 1: a great day.
Speaker 4: You toering you Take care, all right, take care.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KMFI twenty four hour newsroom. Two congressional races
Speaker 1: in Orange County, which could decide what party controls the
Speaker 1: House may not be called four days.
Speaker 2: The first is a tight race between incumbent Republican Congresswoman
Speaker 2: Michelle Steele and Democrat Derek Tran.
Speaker 7: When I became a lawyer, I decided to fight on
Speaker 7: behalf of consumers and workers who were being taken advantage
Speaker 7: of by big corporations.
Speaker 2: Steele says her proven record includes fighting tax increases and
Speaker 2: the Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 5: I worked really hard to hold the CCP accountable.
Speaker 1: You know, China is a bit of thretch to the
Speaker 1: United States.
Speaker 2: The other type race is a battle between former Republican
Speaker 2: Assemblyman Scott Baw and State Senator Dave men at the
Speaker 2: Republican Watch party in Newport Beach. Corbin Carson kf I.
Speaker 1: News Democrat Sarah McBride is one the US House rates
Speaker 1: in Delaware, making her the first openly transperson to serve
Speaker 1: in Congress. She was elected to the Delaware State Senate
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. The LAPD says it's investigating several Jewish
Speaker 1: owned businesses being vandalized in the Pico Robertson neighborhood. Officers
Speaker 1: responded to calls of potential hate crimes on Pico Boulevard
Speaker 1: yesterday morning. Belisse A businesses were vandalized with graffiti and
Speaker 1: possible bullet holes. They say it's in an area where
Speaker 1: there are many synagogues. The Anti Defamation League in LA
Speaker 1: says it is monitoring this situation. Powerful Santa Anna wins
Speaker 1: are expected to blow into southern California today, prompting red
Speaker 1: flag warnings. For high fire danger win Gusts of sixty
Speaker 1: to eighty miles per hour expected in the mountains of
Speaker 1: La and Ventura Counties, with isolated gus up to one
Speaker 1: hundred miles per hour. A red flag warnings also in
Speaker 1: effect for the Inland Empire, with gus up to sixty
Speaker 1: miles per hour. Wildfire risk will be elevated through tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Former President Trump will be President Trump again. He's got
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy seven electoral votes so far. Several
Speaker 1: states are still counting votes. Vice President Harris has two
Speaker 1: twenty four. Trump is leading with the so called Blue
Speaker 1: Wall states. He won Georgia, also Pennsylvania, which was considered
Speaker 1: a key state to win the White House. Challenger Isibal
Speaker 1: Harado appears headed to victory over incumbent Kevin dally On
Speaker 1: for the District fourteen seat on the La City Council.
Speaker 1: Incumbent Heather hot holds a twenty five point lead over
Speaker 1: Grace You to hold on to her tenth district seat,
Speaker 1: and former Assemblyman a dream of oh Gosh Azarian has
Speaker 1: a seventeen point lead over Gillian Burgos. Both are running
Speaker 1: to succeed Councilman Paul Krekorian for his second district seat.
Speaker 1: Angelina's get an opportunity to say goodbye to Dodgers legendary
Speaker 1: pitcher Fernando Valenzuela. This morning, a public funeral mass is
Speaker 1: being held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the
Speaker 1: Angels in downtown La at ten. The Archdiocese says the
Speaker 1: mass who's open to the public on a first come,
Speaker 1: first serve basis, and there's also a public viewing area
Speaker 1: on the cathedral plaza. Let's say good morning to the
Speaker 1: host of rich on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech
Speaker 1: reporter Rich de Muro. Good morning, Rich.
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning to you Amy.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it looks like Elon Musk's gamble on Trump
Speaker 1: pays off. Trump called him a super genius last night.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he did. And just in general, when you take
Speaker 7: a look at the tech industry when it comes to Trump,
Speaker 7: they may not like him, but they probably do like
Speaker 7: his policies. So when we look at the tech industry,
Speaker 7: much of it supported Kamala Harris. Employees of Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple,
Speaker 7: Microsoft all donated millions of dollars to the Harris campaign.
Speaker 7: Not so much to Trump, but his policies. When it
Speaker 7: comes to crypto, he supports it. When it comes to
Speaker 7: AI regulation, Trump obviously lighter touch on that, wants more
Speaker 7: innovation there. And when it comes to mergers and acquisitions,
Speaker 7: Trump is much more likely. A Trump administration much more
Speaker 7: likely to give more green lights, which is something that's
Speaker 7: been very, very tough. We've seen several major failures in
Speaker 7: mergers in recent years due to the FTC when it
Speaker 7: comes to tech company, so it'll be interesting to see.
Speaker 7: But Musk, obviously one of the biggest supporters of Trump,
Speaker 7: bought X, used X as his platform to support Trump,
Speaker 7: and it paid off because now it looks like Elon
Speaker 7: Musk is gonna be part of this new organization, the
Speaker 7: Department of Government Efficiency DOGE, which, of course, if you
Speaker 7: know is a is a cryptocurrency kind of meme coin
Speaker 7: out there. Yeah, exactly, I mean.
Speaker 1: I invested in that. It's worth about two cents.
Speaker 7: I was going to say, so hopefully the Department of
Speaker 7: Government Efficiency will be better than that, because that kind
Speaker 7: of turned out to be a joke. But yeah, we
Speaker 7: saw Trump or sorry, Elon Musk tweeted. I mean he
Speaker 7: was obviously at the event last night. Like you said,
Speaker 7: Trump called him a super genius, and then he tweeted
Speaker 7: Musk Elon Musk tweeted a picture of himself carrying the
Speaker 7: kitchen sink, the one from the Twitter merger, and he said,
Speaker 7: you know, imagine this, I let that sink in. I
Speaker 7: think that's what he said. Okay, get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got it. I got it. I got it.
Speaker 1: And then the former president's election or is it a
Speaker 1: re election and now apparently is voting well for bitcoin.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because here's the deal. So bitcoin has been generally
Speaker 7: up over the past year. I think it's been up
Speaker 7: about fifteen percent overall. But obviously Trump winning. Trump has
Speaker 7: been sort of a supporter. No one really knows what
Speaker 7: to do with bitcoin at this point in kind of
Speaker 7: the government scheme of things, but Trump, when it comes
Speaker 7: to government officials, has definitely been much more supportive of
Speaker 7: cryptocurrency than anyone else out there, and so obviously people
Speaker 7: that are in bitcoin, bitcoin believers think that this will
Speaker 7: be a good thing for the cryptocurrency and digital currency
Speaker 7: in general. Of course, we don't know what Trump will
Speaker 7: do with this or how he'll take it, but we
Speaker 7: feel like the regulations will probably be more in bitcoin's favor.
Speaker 7: Right with a Trump as president. So seventy five k, right,
Speaker 7: It reached a seventy five K high overnight. In general,
Speaker 7: Bitcoin is just trending really well this morning. So we're
Speaker 7: at seventy three thousand and six one hundred and ninety
Speaker 7: two per coin, which is up seven percent just today alone.
Speaker 7: So people are bullish on this.
Speaker 1: Okay, So let's move off to stuff other than the election.
Speaker 7: Oh, is there anything?
Speaker 1: Well, yes, because the world still moves on. Amazon has
Speaker 1: drones and it has approval to fly them, but not
Speaker 1: here yet in Arizona.
Speaker 7: What's going on with that Arizona? So they got approval
Speaker 7: for their new drone, the MK thirty. This is their
Speaker 7: delivery drone which they're going to launch in Arizona, and
Speaker 7: so it's smaller, quieter than previous models. Apparently people didn't
Speaker 7: like how loud the other one was. It can fly
Speaker 7: in light rain, it's got double the range of earlier versions,
Speaker 7: and the FAA gave it approval for deliveries that are
Speaker 7: beyond the visual line of sight. So a lot of
Speaker 7: these drones they have to have someone kind of controlling
Speaker 7: it and seeing where it goes. That's no longer necessary.
Speaker 7: So this is going to start in Tolsten, Arizona.
Speaker 1: Is that a little town.
Speaker 7: I'm guessing I've never heard of it me either, but
Speaker 7: it's near Phoenix, so there's a warehouse out there. You know.
Speaker 7: Amazon doesn't typically build their warehouses in the middle of
Speaker 7: big cities because obviously that's very expensive, so they put
Speaker 7: them just outside, like here in La it's like mostly
Speaker 7: in San Bernardino area. So yeah, we'll see. I mean, look,
Speaker 7: this is something that I'll never forget watching sixty Minutes.
Speaker 7: I think it was ten years ago at this point
Speaker 7: where Jeff Bezos went on and showed off this drone
Speaker 7: exclusively to sixty Minutes and said, this is the future
Speaker 7: of delivery. And by the way, it's been ten years
Speaker 7: and it is not been an easy road because turns
Speaker 7: out putting people in trucks on streets is much easier
Speaker 7: and faster, and we all know how efficient Amazon delivery
Speaker 7: is already.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just think if drones start hitting the skies,
Speaker 1: I mean, imagine how many there's going to be just
Speaker 1: buzzing around all the time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it just it doesn't seem like it could be
Speaker 7: a very efficient way of delivering things like in theory. Yes, okay,
Speaker 7: you're delivering like a package to someone's house, passing all
Speaker 7: the traffic. But in reality, they are doing so many
Speaker 7: deliveries on a daily basis. How in the world can
Speaker 7: you have this many drones? And by the way, these
Speaker 7: drones probably can't hold more than one or two deliveries
Speaker 7: of it, right.
Speaker 1: So they're going back and forth and back and forth.
Speaker 1: And like if Amazon has a warehouse, like you said,
Speaker 1: out in the Inland Empire, they have to go back
Speaker 1: and forth and back and forth all the time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but you know, this is not the only company
Speaker 7: that's trying to do this. You've got Walmart that's trying it.
Speaker 7: You've got Alphabet, you know Google's parent company. They've got
Speaker 7: something called Wing that's trying it. You've got ups that's
Speaker 7: trying it. I mean, everyone wants to try to see
Speaker 7: if we can have a more efficient delivery method. But
Speaker 7: I think this is going to be a very long
Speaker 7: road because it just it doesn't make a lot of
Speaker 7: sense in maybe in urban places, but especially I don't know,
Speaker 7: we'll see what happens. I mean, there's some smart people
Speaker 7: working on this, but it's taken ten years.
Speaker 1: Arizona's kind of cutting edge on this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: I remember when I was there years ago and they
Speaker 1: were already they had robocars buzzing around when nobody else did.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Arizona is very favorable to this kind of So
Speaker 7: it is California, actually, I mean they've been. California has
Speaker 7: actually been pretty favorable to the self driving car situation.
Speaker 7: You see it here, you see it there in Nevada
Speaker 7: as well, so we'll see this stuff is progressing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I've seen a self driving car
Speaker 1: in California yet.
Speaker 7: In La the way most they're everywhere.
Speaker 1: I've never seen one.
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, they're all over. It's mostly in sort
Speaker 7: of Santa Monica.
Speaker 1: That explains it, I know, and go to Santa Monica.
Speaker 7: There you go. But yeah, they're all over Santa Monica
Speaker 7: the area. They just expanded the area. It doesn't go
Speaker 7: to the valley yet, but it's it's a lot more
Speaker 7: of Hollywood. Like I can get one ordered right here
Speaker 7: to the station in Hollywood, and so you know, they're
Speaker 7: they're expanding. And here's the funny thing. It's not much
Speaker 7: cheaper than an uber like I have the app the
Speaker 7: Waymo app, it's it should be like fifty percent less
Speaker 7: driver yeah, exactly, but it's not okay.
Speaker 1: Well for this and much more on tech You can
Speaker 1: listen to Rich on Tech every Saturday from eleven am
Speaker 1: to two pm right here on KFI. You can also
Speaker 1: watch him on KTLA. You can follow him on Instagram
Speaker 1: at rich on Tech in his website where he puts
Speaker 1: all of the stuff that he talks about on so
Speaker 1: you can peruse it and refer back to it. Richontech
Speaker 1: dot TV. Thank you, Rich dmiro all.
Speaker 7: Right, I sent a social media video taking your first
Speaker 7: ride in the way mow, just saying okay, we'll see
Speaker 7: you and Nick.
Speaker 1: Me screaming the whole way all right, thanks so much, Rich.
Speaker 1: Voters in California have overwhelmingly supported a bill to increase
Speaker 1: punishment for some crimes. Prop thirty six has the support
Speaker 1: of roughly seventy percent of voters. The measure will roll
Speaker 1: back some of Prop. Forty seven, which was approved by
Speaker 1: voters back in twenty fourteen, and changes the California Criminal
Speaker 1: Code to charge certain drug possession and thefts under nine
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars as felonies. And LA City Council
Speaker 1: members trailing as challenger in the latest reported vote totals.
Speaker 9: Kevin Dalleon is looking for a second term representing downtown
Speaker 9: in Eastern LA neighborhoods like Boyle Heights at City Hall,
Speaker 9: but he's been trailing challenger Isabelle Herados since District fourteen
Speaker 9: numbers started to roll in last night. Daily Ona said
Speaker 9: he expects there's enough outstanding votes to close that gap. Meanwhile,
Speaker 9: incumbent Heather Hutt has built a strong lead over challenger
Speaker 9: Grace u and District ten in mid city Koreatown West
Speaker 9: Adams and for the open District two seat. Former state
Speaker 9: lawmaker Adrian azari And has run away from gillianberg Gohoes
Speaker 9: to represent North Hollywood. Michael Monks KFI.
Speaker 1: News voters in California are going to have to wait
Speaker 1: for the final results of some races in the state.
Speaker 3: That's because a state bill now gives all voters a
Speaker 3: standard December first deadline to fix and return their ballot signatures.
Speaker 3: Orange County Registrar Bob Page says the bill could delay
Speaker 3: results of tight races. Page says local elections are more
Speaker 3: likely to be impacted.
Speaker 10: In twenty two general election, we had three local contests,
Speaker 10: a couple city councils, a school board where the difference
Speaker 10: between somebody who got on the governing board and somebody
Speaker 10: who didn't was less than ten votes.
Speaker 3: Prior to the bill, counties could have different deadlines for
Speaker 3: voters to fix their ballots. Bills author says he wanted
Speaker 3: to clear up any confusion. Blake Tchorlei k if I News.
Speaker 1: The LA Board of Police Commissioners has approved a four
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars salary for Jim McDonald, who's
Speaker 1: expected to be confirmed as the next chief of the LAPD.
Speaker 1: The salary approval by the board yesterday is below the
Speaker 1: five hundred and seventy five hundred seven thousand they could
Speaker 1: have approved. City official save McDonald will likely get pay
Speaker 1: raises each year. The city council will make the final approval.
Speaker 1: Congressman Adam Schiff will become California's next US Senator, filling
Speaker 1: the seat formerly held by the late Dianne Feinstein. The
Speaker 1: Democrat has defeated Republican former Dodger Steve Garvey by about
Speaker 1: nineteen percent as of last night's vote count. Of course,
Speaker 1: the votes are still being counted. Abortion rights measures have
Speaker 1: passed in seven states, including Missouri, where an amendment clears
Speaker 1: the way to undo one of the country's strictest bands. Florida, Nebraska,
Speaker 1: and South Dakota voted abortion rights measures down. In Florida,
Speaker 1: one measure did get fifty seven percent sent support, but
Speaker 1: it needed sixty percent to pass. Shohei Otani had surgery
Speaker 1: on his shoulder to repair a tear he suffered when
Speaker 1: he tried to steal second base in Game two of
Speaker 1: the World Series. The Dodgers say their star slugger is
Speaker 1: expected to be ready for spring training in February. At
Speaker 1: five point fifty, we're gonna be talking with ABC's Jim
Speaker 1: Ryan about the shifting balance of power in the US
Speaker 1: House and Senate.
Speaker 6: Aamie's on it, Aami's on, Amy's on it, Damien's on it.
Speaker 1: What am I on? I'm on the stream? Movies, documentaries series.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they go to movies. Sometimes it's even books, but
Speaker 1: a lot of times it's on the stream because there's
Speaker 1: so much out there, and how do you know what
Speaker 1: to watch, Like if you just go flip through the channels,
Speaker 1: there's like a Grazillian things. Well, I decided I actually
Speaker 1: was planning on being on something else, but then it
Speaker 1: was election day and I was thinking about that movie
Speaker 1: that Kristen Dunst was in that I didn't go see
Speaker 1: in theaters, and it's called Civil War. So I checked
Speaker 1: it out. It's now streaming on Max, and I thought,
Speaker 1: you know, it has to do with the heightened state
Speaker 1: of political discourse, we'll say, and so I thought that
Speaker 1: might be a really interesting one to watch. I really
Speaker 1: wanted to go see it and just didn't kind of
Speaker 1: get around to it. So here's the movie. It's Civil
Speaker 1: War again. It was released earlier this year. It's on Max.
Speaker 1: Kristin Dunst stars as a famous photo journalist. Her name
Speaker 1: is Lee. The US is in the not so distant future.
Speaker 1: It's already in civil war. When the movie starts, everything's
Speaker 1: just kind of gone to heck in a handbasket. There's
Speaker 1: fighting in the streets of New York City between the
Speaker 1: government and successionists. So Lee wants to get to Washington, TC.
Speaker 1: She wants to photograph the president, and her colleague wants
Speaker 1: to interview the president. Then her mentor shows up and
Speaker 1: he's also a journalist, works for another publication, and he says,
Speaker 1: you know, they shoot and kill journalists in DC. So
Speaker 1: Lee and her colleague Joel, who smokes his cigarette by
Speaker 1: the way a lot during the movie. But I will
Speaker 1: tell you, and you'll see this right off the bat.
Speaker 1: He smokes it like it's a joint. So it's really
Speaker 1: distracting because it's obvious that the actor doesn't smoke, because
Speaker 1: if you've ever seen somebody smoke, they don't smoke like that.
Speaker 1: So that was jarring to me. But that's a whole
Speaker 1: other thing. So anyway, they embark on their journey. They
Speaker 1: pick up a couple of passengers, the rival journalist who
Speaker 1: was Lee's mentor, and also this teenage girl who wants
Speaker 1: to be a photographer. Or she might be in her
Speaker 1: young twenties. I don't know. It's really hard to tell
Speaker 1: how old she is. She just happens to find Lee
Speaker 1: on the streets of New York City and talk her
Speaker 1: journalist friend into giving her a ride to Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: How that comes together, I don't know. Here are some
Speaker 1: familiar themes that emerge very quickly. Charlotte'sville is referenced, a
Speaker 1: third term in office is referenced. Disbanding of the FBI
Speaker 1: is referenced. The president ordered air strikes against US citizens
Speaker 1: and the economy, and the dollar has collapsed. So it
Speaker 1: sounds like some warnings that we've had about our democracy,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. The successionists are well. Actually I was a
Speaker 1: little confused on who the successionists were. It may be
Speaker 1: that the government people who are left are the barbarians.
Speaker 1: But it's just it's a hard movie to watch, and
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that good. That's the kind of
Speaker 1: the long and the short of it. The only thing
Speaker 1: they could have done to be more blatant about its
Speaker 1: references to the threats of democracy it would have been
Speaker 1: to really cat Talig Baldwin as the president. So there
Speaker 1: and some of the situations that they get themselves in
Speaker 1: are not realistic enough. Like I was like, you should
Speaker 1: have researched this a little bit more like you should
Speaker 1: have researched how military ops are run. There's a scene
Speaker 1: where they're going into a building, and you know how
Speaker 1: they do the hand signals before they go in military
Speaker 1: I think maybe law enforcement does it too. But they
Speaker 1: had like spotlights on, so if anybody was in the building,
Speaker 1: even if they were being quiet, they would have seen
Speaker 1: the lights shining. So there were some inconsistencies there that
Speaker 1: kind of kept pulling me out of the movie. Along
Speaker 1: the journey, they just they arrive at these contrived situations.
Speaker 1: You're like, that doesn't make sense, which is too bad.
Speaker 1: It was a really kind of interesting story, but I
Speaker 1: think it kind of lost its way because I think
Speaker 1: it was politicized. That's my feeling on it. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll feel differently. I will tell you that in
Speaker 1: the final frame of the movie, the final shot, it
Speaker 1: won't tell you what it is. It's very disturbing in
Speaker 1: many ways when you look at the whole of this movie.
Speaker 1: So if you do watch it, actually, i'd love to
Speaker 1: hear what you think about it. Maybe I'm completely off
Speaker 1: base on this, but it's called Civil War. It's on Max.
Speaker 1: I was on it. I don't know if you should
Speaker 1: be on it. Maybe if you don't have anything else
Speaker 1: to do. Wasn't my favorite movie by any stretch. Let's
Speaker 1: get back to some of the stories coming out of
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour news room. Former President Trump
Speaker 1: has been declared the winner in the race for president.
Speaker 5: This was, I believe the greatest political movement of all time.
Speaker 5: There's ever been anything like this in this country and
Speaker 5: maybe beyond.
Speaker 1: The Associated Press called Wisconsin for Trump early this morning.
Speaker 1: That put him over the top for the two hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy Electoral College votes he needed to win. Vice
Speaker 1: President Harris was at two hundred and twenty four. Republican
Speaker 1: Jim Justice has been elected to the US Senate, defeating
Speaker 1: Democrat Glenn Elliott and flipping a seat in West Virginia.
Speaker 6: This is for the seat that was occupied for a
Speaker 6: couple of terms by Joe Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, who's
Speaker 6: decided not to run for re election this year.
Speaker 1: ABC Stephen Portnoy says Senate Democrats are on defense in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona,
Speaker 1: and Nevada. It marks the first time since nineteen fifty
Speaker 1: eight that both of West Virginia senators will be Republicans.
Speaker 1: Justice is a two term governor and former billionaire who
Speaker 1: owns dozens of businesses. Nathan Hockman has cautiously declared victory
Speaker 1: in the race for La County DA. He spoke to
Speaker 1: a few hundred supporters last night, including a large group
Speaker 1: of current prosecutors from the DA's office who support Hawkman.
Speaker 5: You have been right there doing justice for the residents
Speaker 5: of this county with your hands tied behind your back,
Speaker 5: and I'm here to tell you your hands will no longer
Speaker 5: be tied.
Speaker 1: Hakman says on day one he will reverse most of
Speaker 1: what he calls George Gascone's radical pro criminal policies in
Speaker 1: favor of the law and the rights of victims. A
Speaker 1: red alert fire warning has been issued for parts of
Speaker 1: southern California because of gusty sant Ana wins.
Speaker 11: Those wins can create very dry, dangerous conditions that could
Speaker 11: accelerate a fire if it's sparked. National Weather Service spokesman
Speaker 11: Chandler Price says the Santa Anna foothills and inland Orange
Speaker 11: County will be the breeziest.
Speaker 9: We have an area of low pressure moving into the
Speaker 9: Great Basin and what this is leading to is dusty
Speaker 9: east to north winds.
Speaker 11: He says people should avoid having any outdoor fires until
Speaker 11: the winds die down. The red flag warning is in
Speaker 11: effect until tomorrow. Chris Adler KFI news.
Speaker 1: Former federal prosecutor Nathan Hafckman is leading the race for
Speaker 1: Ella County DA by a wide margin. As of late
Speaker 1: last night, Hawkman has sixty one percent of the vote.
Speaker 1: Incumbent George Gascon has about thirty eight percent of the vote.
Speaker 1: Hawkman has vowed to undo many of Gascone's progressive policies
Speaker 1: that he calls soft on crime. Two congressional races are
Speaker 1: too close to call. His votes continue to be counted
Speaker 1: in California. In the twenty seventh congressional district representing representing
Speaker 1: Northern La County, incumbent Mike Garcia is leading Democratic challenger
Speaker 1: George Whiteside's by less than three hundred votes. In the
Speaker 1: forty fifth Districte County, incumbent Michelle Steele is leading her challenger,
Speaker 1: Derek Trann by fewer than three thousand votes. Raphael has
Speaker 1: strengthened to a Category one hurricane as it heads toward Cuba.
Speaker 1: Forecasters say it could be a Category two storm by
Speaker 1: the time it makes landfall in Cuba later today. Cuba
Speaker 1: is still recovering from Hurricane Oscar just two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim,
Speaker 1: the presidential race isn't the only thing being decided. There's
Speaker 1: control of the Senate and the House at stake. What
Speaker 1: are we looking at?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it all eyes said, We're all looking at California
Speaker 8: to see what happens out there to see who will
Speaker 8: be controlling the House. As far as the Senate goes,
Speaker 8: the Republicans had almost a clean sweep in the Senate
Speaker 8: and they're going to control. We don't have a firm
Speaker 8: number yet because votes are still being talented tally, but
Speaker 8: the margin could be five seats, six seven, maybe even
Speaker 8: nine seats, separating the Republicans from the democratsally shutting them
Speaker 8: out of any sort of legislative action in the upper
Speaker 8: House and leaving Democrats looking ahead to twenty twenty six
Speaker 8: to figure out what happened this time around before the
Speaker 8: next midterm. But yes, the Senate is solidly in Republican
Speaker 8: hands now, thanks in part to a guy named Ted Cruz,
Speaker 8: who the Senator from Texas was going for his third term.
Speaker 8: Colin all Read, the Democratic challenger, spent one hundred million
Speaker 8: dollars to try to unseat him. Crew spent sixty five
Speaker 8: million and successfully defended his seat.
Speaker 1: That's a whole lot of money. Is already like a
Speaker 1: former government or a lawmaker?
Speaker 4: Or is he?
Speaker 1: Where'd he come from?
Speaker 8: He's in Congress right now. He was, Yeah, he played
Speaker 8: football at Baylor University. He then went on to play
Speaker 8: professional football, I believe, for the Tennessee Titans. And then
Speaker 8: you know, he had an injury, and he finished his
Speaker 8: law degree, became an attorney, and then decided to run
Speaker 8: for office and for Congress, and almost immediately said, yeah,
Speaker 8: this is great being in the House, but I want
Speaker 8: to be in the Senate. So I'm going to challenge
Speaker 8: Ted Cruise got to o' rock six years ago, you
Speaker 8: remember that name. I gave Cruise a bit of a scare.
Speaker 8: He challenged him and lost by only two point six percent,
Speaker 8: and polling suggested that the all red race would even
Speaker 8: be closer than that. In the end, though, you know,
Speaker 8: Cruise essentially trunced him. I think the margin of difference
Speaker 8: with like seven percent.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's yeah, that's a lot higher than anybody expected.
Speaker 1: I think wondering what this says about Texas that the
Speaker 1: it used to be a kind of solidly read but
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz has had a couple of pretty strong runs
Speaker 1: for his money lately.
Speaker 8: Well he has, you know, he's really I mean, he
Speaker 8: put them both down, and even more so yesterday than
Speaker 8: sixty years ago. But a lot of people are moving
Speaker 8: to Texas from elsewhere. It's the fastest growing population in
Speaker 8: the old Country and centered in places like Austin and
Speaker 8: Houston and Dallas Fort Worth. Those places have been kind
Speaker 8: of reliably blue. So if they were to grow enough,
Speaker 8: I suppose and people moving in from California, New York
Speaker 8: other places that are a little more left leaning than
Speaker 8: Texas may eventually go purple. Didn't happen this time around,
Speaker 8: why not be next time? And in fact, Democrats have
Speaker 8: been talking about that for fifteen twenty years, But in
Speaker 8: the meantime, the Democrats haven't won a statewide race here
Speaker 8: in thirty years.
Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like the reverse of California. So you
Speaker 1: mentioned that the California is it? The two that I
Speaker 1: mentioned that are the twenty seventh Congressional district Mike Garcia
Speaker 1: and George Whiteside's And then also in Orange County it's
Speaker 1: Michelle Steele who's leading Derek Tran. But man, it's close.
Speaker 1: So Michelle Steele at last check was up three thousand
Speaker 1: votes over Derek Tran. In the twenty seventh district, Mike Garcia,
Speaker 1: again the incumb was leading by only three hundred votes.
Speaker 1: So these these races are really close.
Speaker 8: Well there, and it's really going to determine the balance
Speaker 8: of power in Washington. Will it be a split Congress
Speaker 8: as it is now? You know, Trump will be pretty
Speaker 8: easy for him to make nominations to his cabinet, for example,
Speaker 8: they have to go through the nominating process and the
Speaker 8: confirmation in the Senate. Well, with the Senate so solidly
Speaker 8: in Republican hands, it's going to be a breeze to
Speaker 8: put pretty much anybody in there, including RFK Junior, who's
Speaker 8: been then mentioned as a possible Health and Human Services secretary.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then what we're talking about the balance. What
Speaker 1: I was hearing last night, but again then I had
Speaker 1: to go to bed, But what I was hearing last
Speaker 1: night is it was looking like that the Republicans were
Speaker 1: going to lose the House. But that's still it's still
Speaker 1: up in the air.
Speaker 8: It is, Yes, Yeah, which would be really surprising if
Speaker 8: this were to happen, so the Republican sees can at
Speaker 8: the Senate and lose control of the House, it'd be
Speaker 8: a split Congress like that, that kind of a breakout
Speaker 8: hasn't happened in a long time, that you'd have that
Speaker 8: complete slip in the two houses.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we'll be watching while they count because I
Speaker 1: know they don't they don't have to certify or they
Speaker 1: don't certify the election in California until December third.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, Well, you know we all said we're going
Speaker 8: to be waiting up all night and waiting, I know,
Speaker 8: two or three days for the presidential Well, no, it
Speaker 8: was pretty much settled last night.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I went to sleep last night. I stayed up
Speaker 1: way too late. I don't know if you guys did
Speaker 1: stay up way too late, but still went to sleep.
Speaker 1: And then when I woke up in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night, I was turned on the TV and went, oh,
Speaker 1: they called it, And I was surprised because I didn't
Speaker 1: think it'd be for a while. Okay, Jim Ryan, thank
Speaker 1: you so much. Always a pleasure. We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 8: Thank yous y.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Yep,
Speaker 1: we got more elections stuff for you. Voters in La
Speaker 1: County have agreed to a sales tax increase and possibly
Speaker 1: a larger board of suitsers.
Speaker 9: Meguie would put the special sales tax at half a cent,
Speaker 9: doubling the current quartercent sales tax into voting more of
Speaker 9: that revenue to homeless services. It was pushed hard by
Speaker 9: some of the largest nonprofits in the county, who warned
Speaker 9: without it, people who have been taken off the streets
Speaker 9: and housed would return to homelessness. Voters have so far
Speaker 9: agreed to support it, but Measure G has remained close,
Speaker 9: with voters pretty evenly split on whether to increase the
Speaker 9: number of county supervisors from five to nine and to
Speaker 9: create an elected county wide executive.
Speaker 1: Michael Monks KFI.
Speaker 6: News, there's a new DA in La County. I'm Steve
Speaker 6: Gregory in Beverly Hills. Nathan Hawkman says he looks forward
Speaker 6: to restoring accountability, credibility, and trust in the DA's office.
Speaker 6: Something Hawkman says, George Gasconn ruined by my day.
Speaker 5: What what you will see is not a DA disregarding
Speaker 5: the collectively thousands of years of experience.
Speaker 6: Hundreds of supporters showed up last night here at Hawkman's
Speaker 6: watch party. Most of the crowd was filled with first responders, volunteers, donors,
Speaker 6: victims of crime and prosecuted from the DA's office in
Speaker 6: Beverly Hills. Steve Gregory KINGFIE News.
Speaker 1: Police in Washington, d C. Have arrested a man at
Speaker 1: the US Capitol building. They say the man tried to

Speaker 1: fuel in his backpack. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said
Speaker 1: it's not clear if the man was planning to light
Speaker 1: himself or items in his backpack on fire.
Speaker 6: We found a flare gun, a lighter, and a torch
Speaker 6: lighter in his jacket.
Speaker 1: He says there's no initial indication that it had anything
Speaker 1: to do with the election. A man in Anaheim has
Speaker 1: been charged with sexually assaulting two girls he's related to.
Speaker 1: Police in Anaheim say the man is charged with attacking
Speaker 1: one of the girls between twenty ten to twenty eighteen,
