<v Speaker 1>with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 2>App KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.

4
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:17.760
<v Speaker 1>It's time for your morning wake up call.

5
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:22.559
<v Speaker 3>Here's Amy King.

6
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:36.759
<v Speaker 1>Good morning. It's five o'clock on Thursday, September twenty sixth.

7
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.759
<v Speaker 1>This is your wake up call. I'm Amy King. We're

00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 1>live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and happy that you're

00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>with us today. We got you covered with all the news,

10
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 1>all the traffic, and a whole lot of fun. We

11
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>got some really cool stuff plan for you today, so

12
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>we hope you'll stick around for the whole show. Here's

13
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>what's ahead on wake up Call. Hurricane Helene continues to

14
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 1>gain strength as it motors across the warm waters of

15
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the Gulf of Mexico. It's now a Category two storm.

16
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>The National Hurricane Center says some areas of the Big

17
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Bend area in Florida could see up to a twenty

18
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>foot storm surge when the storm makes landfall later today.

19
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>Hurricane and storm warnings extend into Georgia, North and South Carolina.

20
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 1>Ela County Supervisor Janis Hahn is again called for a

21
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>system to prevent people from carrying weapons onto metro buses

22
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and trains. It comes after a metro bus passenger was

23
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>shot and killed allegedly by the man who hijacked a bus,

24
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 1>and says the driver was protected by a barrier the

25
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.599
<v Speaker 1>transit agency helps to have installed on all its buses

26
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>by the end of the year. The head of the

27
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Israeli Army says the military is preparing for a possible

28
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 1>ground operation in Lebanon. Is comments follow Hesbelah's launch of

29
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 1>a ballistic missile towards Tel Aviv. Israel intercepted it. We'll

30
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 1>be talking more about this with ABC's geor Donna Miller

31
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 1>in about fifteen minutes. Hey, Neil and I are going

32
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 1>over the Edge to raise money for the Union Rescue Mission.

33
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, it's tomorrow. We're going to be finding

34
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>out more about the Union Rescue Mission, what it does

35
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.319
<v Speaker 1>and how it actually helps homeless people get off the

36
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>streets for good, and why you should feel good about

37
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 1>donating your heart earned money to this cause. That's coming

38
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>up at before the top of the hour. And also

39
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 1>so much to see, so much to do as we

40
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>head toward Halloween. So we're going out and about for

41
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 1>a boo preview of a place that I think will

42
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 1>amaze you. And we also have tickets so you can

43
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>do your own boot preview of Dark Harbor at Queen Mary.

44
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 1>That's coming up at the bottom of the hour. Let's

45
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 1>get started with some of the stories coming out of

46
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man who allegedly

47
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>hijacked a Metro bus and killed a passenger in La

48
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>is facing a charge of murder.

49
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.479
<v Speaker 4>Lamont Campbell was arrested after an hour long slow speed

50
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 4>chase on the bus from South LA to the Arts

51
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 4>District Downtown LA. Mayor Karen Bass says the city and

52
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 4>Metro will continue to work to improve on the transit system.

53
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 5>Every Angelino has the right to go about their lives safely,

54
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 5>especially on our public transportation system.

55
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 4>There was a driver and two passengers aboard the bus

56
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 4>when Campbell allegedly hijacked it at some point, shooting and

57
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 4>killing one of those passengers in Downtown La.

58
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Michael monks KFI News. Five women and a man have

59
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 1>been shot in South LA. Most of them were shot

60
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 1>in the legs, but they said they don't believe any

61
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>of the women hurt yesterday were the intended targets. At

62
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>least one of the people shot was in critical condition.

63
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 1>Investigators say the three shooters maybe teenagers. People in parts

64
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>of Florida are getting ready for Hurricane Helene. Forecasters say

65
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the storm's going to reach the state late tonight, although

66
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.639
<v Speaker 1>the effects are going to last for a lot longer

67
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 1>than that. Florida Governor Rond De Sanda says the storm

68
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>is moving fast.

69
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 3>It's projected to leave up to twelve inches of rainfall,

70
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 3>and the storm surge could reach ten to fifteen feet

71
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 3>in some areas, which is, of course, very very significant.

72
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Forecasters are even saying some areas could see a storm

73
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>surge as high as twenty feet. Helene is now a

74
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Category two storm. It's forecast to be a Category four

75
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>hurricane by the time it makes landfall in Florida's Big

76
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Bend area. New York Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted

77
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>by a federal grand jury. He's the first mayor in

78
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>the city's history to be charged while in office. The

79
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 1>indictment remains sealed, but the initial investigation focused on campaign

80
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>finance violations. In a statement released last night, Adams denied

81
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the charges.

82
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 6>It is now my belief that the federal government intends

83
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 6>to charge me with crimes. If so, these charges will

84
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 6>be entirely false based on loves.

85
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Adams isn't expected to be in court until next week.

86
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Applications to refinance home loans have jumped twenty percent in

87
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 1>the last week compared to a year ago, when interest

88
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 1>rates were up near eight percent. Applications are up one

89
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy five percent. Average rates for a thirty

90
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 1>year fixed rate mortgage it averaged just over six point

91
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>one percent. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Stephen

92
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 1>portnoy So. Stephen. President Zelensky of Ukraine has appealed to

93
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 1>the UN to keep funding its war efforts against Russia.

94
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 1>The Biden administrations so far supporting those efforts. But things

95
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>aren't exactly going well between Zelensky and former President Trump.

96
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Get a little.

97
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 7>Testy, testy, awkward, tense, acrimonious yesterday. Well what's going on?

98
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 8>Being with?

99
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.519
<v Speaker 7>Where to start? Look if vloidmyer. Zelensky did an interview

100
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.240
<v Speaker 7>with The New Yorker earlier this week in which he

101
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.319
<v Speaker 7>said that Trump quote really doesn't know how to stop

102
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 7>the war, even if he might think he knows how.

103
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 7>He's called JD. Vance radical, an ignorant of European history,

104
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.160
<v Speaker 7>someone who ought to read a book about European history

105
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 7>well in North Carolina. Trump responded to Zelenski and what

106
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 7>he called nasty aspersions being cast by the Ukrainian president. Quote,

107
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 7>we continue to give billions of dollars to a man

108
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 7>who refuses to make a deal in Zelensky. At the

109
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.439
<v Speaker 7>UN yesterday, Vladimir Zelenski insisted he would not capitulate to

110
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 7>international demands for pressure to agree to a negotiated settlement

111
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.759
<v Speaker 7>because the negotiated settlement, he says, would result in his

112
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.199
<v Speaker 7>country seating territory to Russia. He says Russia is twenty

113
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 7>times the size of Ukraine and the idea that it

114
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.399
<v Speaker 7>wants more land is and his words insane. He says

115
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 7>that Russia wants to attack his country's nuclear power plants,

116
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 7>which could result in a nuclear disaster. Vladimir Putin wants

117
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.920
<v Speaker 7>some sort of internal document with respect to nuclear doctrine

118
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 7>in his country to be changed to make it easier

119
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.040
<v Speaker 7>for Russia to use nuclear weapons, perhaps even in Ukraine.

120
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.079
<v Speaker 7>And Zelenski is urging the West to stand strong together,

121
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 7>while Republicans increasingly see this as a partisan question. House

122
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 7>Republicans are now accusing Zelensky of trying to interfere in

123
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.639
<v Speaker 7>the US election. They point to a flight he took

124
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.079
<v Speaker 7>this past weekend on a seventeen US Air Force aircraft

125
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 7>to do the battle ground state of Pennsylvania. He went

126
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker 7>on a tour of a munitions factory, and Republicans say

127
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 7>that because he was accompanied by first of all, flown

128
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.560
<v Speaker 7>on a military jet, and then accompanied by Josh Shapiro,

129
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 7>the governor of Pennsylvania, who's a surrogate for the Harris campaign,

130
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 7>they see it as a Harris campaign stop, and so

131
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 7>they say that Zelenski's trying to medle in the election

132
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:26.759
<v Speaker 7>on behalf of Democrats. Today, Zelensky meets with President Biden

133
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.319
<v Speaker 7>at the White House and the President is announcing that

134
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:33.480
<v Speaker 7>he's releasing or authorizing the eight billion dollars more and

135
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.680
<v Speaker 7>congressionally approved funding for Ukraine to get it out the

136
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 7>door as quickly as he can while he still can,

137
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.720
<v Speaker 7>the thought being that perhaps if the administration were to

138
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 7>change hands to Republicans, so that might be the last

139
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 7>opportunity for Ukraine to receive American support. And to hear

140
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:50.199
<v Speaker 7>it from Donald Trump, you have to wonder.

141
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Now there was top that Zelensky was going to meet

142
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>with former President Trump. Do we know if that's going

143
00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:58.319
<v Speaker 1>to happen now?

144
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 7>I don't see it happening. I also don't see any

145
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 7>kind of meeting with Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House,

146
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.079
<v Speaker 7>as Lenski's up on Capitol Hill today as well.

147
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So he's meeting with Biden, and then he's meeting

148
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 1>separately with Vice President Harris.

149
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 7>And with congressional leaders. So I should take members of Congress.

150
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

151
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:21.560
<v Speaker 7>The point is Republicans are trying to keep their distance,

152
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:27.040
<v Speaker 7>and increasingly they're trying to express their disappointment and frustration

153
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 7>with Zelenski and say that he is too close to

154
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 7>the Democrats. So it's a tense and awkward time and

155
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.440
<v Speaker 7>a dangerous time for Ukraine.

156
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, ABC, Stephen Portnoy, thank you so much for

157
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>the information. Appreciated. Let's get back to some of the

158
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 1>stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room.

159
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Governor Newsom says a set of bills he signed restricting

160
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:53.120
<v Speaker 1>oils and gas wells represents a step forward in the

161
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>state's ongoing efforts to cut pollution. The bills signed yesterday

162
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>prohibit the operation of low oilction and gas wells in

163
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the Baldwin Hills Conservancy. LA County Supervisor Holly Mitchell says

164
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 1>the bills are in the community's best interests.

165
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:14.759
<v Speaker 5>People are living, going to school, working, having recreation experiences

166
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:19.080
<v Speaker 5>in proximity that has caused multi generational harm.

167
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:23.559
<v Speaker 1>Newsom says the legislation builds on efforts to protect communities

168
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:28.519
<v Speaker 1>from pollution and hold big oil accountable. Power utilities and

169
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.039
<v Speaker 1>various levels of government in SoCal are working with a

170
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>research company in the Bay Area to figure out the

171
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>best ways to handle the risk of wildfires. EPRI does

172
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.679
<v Speaker 1>research and testing into ways to help energy providers prevent

173
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and prepare for wildfires and also improve their resiliency. Climate

174
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>resilience analyst Jacob Martian says they use a variety of

175
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 1>tools to do it.

176
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Siatellite images, we can use advanced weather forecasts, and increasingly

177
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 2>we were using artificial intelligence to make predictions about this.

178
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 1>He says it's unrealist to think wildfires will be eliminated completely,

179
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>but he thinks progress is being made when it comes

180
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.639
<v Speaker 1>without a deal with them. Bodycam video shows a man

181
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 1>stabbing his mother in front of a home in Irvine,

182
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.799
<v Speaker 1>right before police kill him.

183
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:14.279
<v Speaker 5>The night Down.

184
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:19.399
<v Speaker 2>Means after the guy id'd as Paul Montizare from Las

185
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Vegas can be seen crouching over his mother.

186
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.919
<v Speaker 9>Not to Night, Not to Night.

187
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Montazaarre appears to then charge the officer with the knife

188
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 2>in his hand. Earlier this month, right as another officer

189
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:38.960
<v Speaker 2>shows up. The man and his mother both died at

190
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:40.080
<v Speaker 2>the scene shots fire.

191
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Mail Down has a knife in his hand.

192
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 2>In Orange County, Corbin Carson camp I News Congress has

193
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.519
<v Speaker 2>avoided a government shutdown just weeks before the November election.

194
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.279
<v Speaker 1>The House and Senate approved Billy yesterday that keeps federal

195
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>agencies funded through December twentieth. Speaker Mike Johnson says his

196
00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.159
<v Speaker 1>chamber did its job.

197
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.559
<v Speaker 4>We are not going to return to the Christmas comedy

198
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:06.399
<v Speaker 4>bus spending tradition, and that's a commitment I've made to everyone.

199
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:10.039
<v Speaker 1>Lawmakers will face another round of fiscal negotiations at the

200
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>end of the year. The A's will play their last

201
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:17.039
<v Speaker 1>game in Oakland this afternoon against the Texas Rangers. Of course,

202
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.039
<v Speaker 1>the A's are moving to Las Vegas. Team owner John

203
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Fisher has apologized to fans for the team's departure saying

204
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.159
<v Speaker 1>he wishes he could talk to every fan personally and

205
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>tell them we tried, but apparently that's not good enough

206
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 1>for Brian Johansson with the fan group Baseball's Last Dive Bar.

207
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.080
<v Speaker 2>We just asked that they have just an ounce of

208
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.919
<v Speaker 2>decency and respect for these final games, and they can't

209
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:39.240
<v Speaker 2>do that.

210
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.519
<v Speaker 1>First pitch of the last A's game at Oakland Coliseum

211
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:47.279
<v Speaker 1>goes out at twelve forty five. It's Halloween time at

212

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.840
<v Speaker 1>going to get them away tomorrow, and I know Neil

222
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Savader has some more tickets to give away during Fork Report,

223
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:23.879
<v Speaker 1>But like you said, keep it right here. Wake Up

224
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Call has your chance to win a four pack of

225
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.759
<v Speaker 1>one day one park tickets to the Disneyland resort. California

226
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>is sending a team of firefighters to Florida to assist

227
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 1>with Hurricane Helene recovery efforts. The hurricane is now Category

228
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>two storm. The team members are from Riverside, Orange County,

229
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>San Diego, Sacramento, and Oakland. Governor Newsom says the firefighters

230
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>from the state's Urban Search and Rescue Task Force Incident

231
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Support Team that's a mouthful, will be immediately deployed to Florida.

232
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Governor Newsom has vetoed a bill to help black families

233
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.879
<v Speaker 1>reclaim or be compensated for and seized by the government.

234
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:04.799
<v Speaker 1>The bill would have created a process for families to

235
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>file acclaim with the state if they believed the government

236
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.759
<v Speaker 1>sees their property through eminent domain because of discrimination. The

237
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:13.759
<v Speaker 1>lights are going to stay on. In Washington, the House

238
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and Senate have passed a bill to keep the government

239
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.399
<v Speaker 1>funded through December twentieth. The funding bill generally keeps agencies

240
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 1>operating at current levels. Lawmakers are going to have to

241
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.279
<v Speaker 1>pass another bill to keep the government funded through the

242
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 1>holidays and into next year. At six oh five, it's

243
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>handled on the news New York Mayor Eric Adams is

244
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.159
<v Speaker 1>being indicted by the federal government. We're just getting word

245
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:38.399
<v Speaker 1>that federal agents have seized Mayor Adam's phone during a

246
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:42.679
<v Speaker 1>search at dawn. Let's say good morning now to ABC's

247
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:47.039
<v Speaker 1>jordonah Miller in Jerusalem. So Jordana's things continue to escalate.

248
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Hesba law file fires a missile at Tel Aviv, which

249
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>is intercepted, and Israel says it's time to prepare for

250
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:55.480
<v Speaker 1>a ground invasion.

251
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:02.200
<v Speaker 10>Right and then late this morning we also found out

252
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 10>that Israel's participating in talks on a ceasfire between Israel

253
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:10.200
<v Speaker 10>and Lebanon. That doesn't mean we have there's a deal

254
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:14.039
<v Speaker 10>that's been agreed to by both sides and nothing is imminent.

255
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:19.120
<v Speaker 10>But we're seeing at the same time intense fighting, cross

256
00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:23.320
<v Speaker 10>border fighting between Israel and Lebanon what looks like we

257
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:28.480
<v Speaker 10>could lead quickly to a full war. On the other side,

258
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.000
<v Speaker 10>diplomacy led by the United States again trying to pull

259
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.639
<v Speaker 10>the sides back from war. Yesterday, for the first time,

260
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.679
<v Speaker 10>has Balla fired a ballistic missile on Tel Aviv. It

261
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.519
<v Speaker 10>was intercepted. There were no injuries, but it is a

262
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:50.000
<v Speaker 10>proof of Hasbala's capabilities. And by the way, it's only

263
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:55.120
<v Speaker 10>one ballistic missile. They surely could fire many more. This

264
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:59.360
<v Speaker 10>was just a way of Husbala letting everybody know how

265
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 10>far they can reach into Israel. It was over one

266
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.519
<v Speaker 10>hundred and twenty miles from hsbalas from Lebanon's borders, right

267
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.639
<v Speaker 10>where Hasbella operates out of. We also saw the Israeli Army,

268
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 10>the chief HERZLV, saying to troops that he's preparing to

269
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.960
<v Speaker 10>put their boots on the ground in southern Lebanon, and

270
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.240
<v Speaker 10>that Israel has called up two reserve brigades about six

271
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.279
<v Speaker 10>thousand soldiers, so that as the Israeli Armi says, it

272
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:36.000
<v Speaker 10>can advance, it's the next stage of its military operations,

273
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.159
<v Speaker 10>its war plans. And that is after Israel already pulled

274
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:42.759
<v Speaker 10>out a division of troops from Gaza about ten thousand

275
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:43.879
<v Speaker 10>and moved.

276
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Them to the north.

277
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:48.360
<v Speaker 10>So you can see that Israel is advertising and messaging

278
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:53.480
<v Speaker 10>that it is getting ready for a potential ground offensive.

279
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 10>And I think there's a few things happening here at once,

280
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.840
<v Speaker 10>and they're linked the threats of what Israel could do

281
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.279
<v Speaker 10>next and what Hasbela could do next. With their missile

282
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:11.639
<v Speaker 10>strike and the news of the diplomacy, it's all building

283
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:13.759
<v Speaker 10>up in a sense, Israel is trying to put pressure,

284
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:20.080
<v Speaker 10>I think, and scare Hasbala into really choosing diplomacy over war.

285
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:25.679
<v Speaker 10>And Hasbala with that missile strike still, you know, is

286
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.120
<v Speaker 10>keeping everyone guessing about what it really wants next.

287
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Right.

288
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:32.879
<v Speaker 10>Has Bula has said it will not stop firing until

289
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.279
<v Speaker 10>there's a seatfire in Gaza, and there is no ceasefire

290
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:40.320
<v Speaker 10>in Gaza. The fighting is still continuing there, so you

291
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.200
<v Speaker 10>know where exactly are we headed. I think we're really

292
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.759
<v Speaker 10>gonna have to watch closely. But this is again another

293
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:49.519
<v Speaker 10>very very volatile moment, and the Prime Minister of Israel,

294
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.080
<v Speaker 10>Benjamin Attania, has just arrived in New York and he

295
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:57.600
<v Speaker 10>is set to address the UN General Assembly tomorrow, so

296
00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:00.679
<v Speaker 10>I think we won't see anything dramatic couple of days

297
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:01.799
<v Speaker 10>until he's back here.

298
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, and you've got me thinking, which is always dangerous,

299
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.640
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the wheels start spinning when you think, okay,

300
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.200
<v Speaker 1>if they're talking diplomacy, as Hesbola kind of ramps up

301
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:20.559
<v Speaker 1>and Israel's threatening the ground operation, it almost like sets

302
00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the stage for them to say, Okay, you guys, we

303
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:28.119
<v Speaker 1>can This gives us basically an opportunity to step back

304
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and do the diplomacy and say, okay, we've both shown

305
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.119
<v Speaker 1>that we've got some mighte here, but let's step back.

306
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Kind of gives them both out.

307
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:40.119
<v Speaker 10>Right, hopefully right exactly. I mean, it's a face saving

308
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:44.000
<v Speaker 10>measure that may may let Hasbala climb down from the ladder,

309
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:48.039
<v Speaker 10>and it may let Israel as well. But as is

310
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.240
<v Speaker 10>always the case, you know, what are the We don't

311
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.200
<v Speaker 10>exactly know the intentions of the Prime Minister of Israel

312
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:59.559
<v Speaker 10>nor the leader of Hasbola huffon Thestralla. Uh, you know,

313
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.839
<v Speaker 10>he's making a big hit. He admitted that his organization

314
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:05.920
<v Speaker 10>has taken a big hit over the last week. Certainly

315
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:08.720
<v Speaker 10>they have plenty of capabilities left. I mean, we don't

316
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:12.119
<v Speaker 10>talk about it because we're focused on the damage as well,

317
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 10>doing to the rockets and the hardware that are embedded

318
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:20.519
<v Speaker 10>in civilian areas in southern Lobanon above ground. But remember

319
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:24.720
<v Speaker 10>has Bulla also has thousands of rockets underground and thousands

320
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:29.440
<v Speaker 10>of rockets in Beyrout underground, so they're you know, they've

321
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:32.480
<v Speaker 10>taken a hit, but they are not. They're not defeated,

322
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 10>and Israel knows that, you know, a war against Habullah

323
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:41.440
<v Speaker 10>would be bloody and destructive. And I think the United

324
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:44.440
<v Speaker 10>States is trying to say, can't we get to the

325
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.480
<v Speaker 10>solution that you're going to get to at the end

326
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.160
<v Speaker 10>of a bloody, again and destructive war. Can't we get

327
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:54.240
<v Speaker 10>to that now? Let's let's see back and talk about

328
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.279
<v Speaker 10>a ceasefire now, and then we'll deal with Gaza after,

329
00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:59.759
<v Speaker 10>because they won't they won't be connected.

330
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, And then, as you said, in the immediate future.

331
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Natanyahu is in New York and is speaking to the

332
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:09.039
<v Speaker 1>General Assembly at the United Nations. But that's not today,

333
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:09.640
<v Speaker 1>that's tomorrow.

334
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.680
<v Speaker 10>It's tomorrow. He's giving his speech at nine point thirty

335
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:18.920
<v Speaker 10>eastern right, and you know, we can we can't expect

336
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.759
<v Speaker 10>him to lay out Israel's case. It's what he calls

337
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:27.039
<v Speaker 10>the just war against him US and now increasingly against Osbala.

338
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:31.720
<v Speaker 10>He will link Israel's enemies to Iran, their patron and supporter,

339
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:35.160
<v Speaker 10>and talk about you know that Israel's really on the

340
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:38.960
<v Speaker 10>front lines in the fight against Iran, which seeks to

341
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:43.079
<v Speaker 10>be stabilize and really take over the Middle East, and

342
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:45.319
<v Speaker 10>that Israel's on the front lines of fighting a kind

343
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 10>of culture of hate and a genocidal culture that a

344
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:55.480
<v Speaker 10>kind of fanatical I flam that is hijacked modern yflam.

345
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, well, we will be watching and listening and

346
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and hoping that that diplomatic solution presents itself.

347
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:06.720
<v Speaker 8>Let's hope.

348
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:10.519
<v Speaker 1>So all right, thanks so much, ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem.

349
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Let's get back to some of the stories coming out

350
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:15.319

351
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>has ordered the Department of Veterans Affairs to lock down

352
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.640
<v Speaker 1>UCLA's Jackie Robinson Stadium at the VA in West La.

353

<v Speaker 1>It'll be off limits starting at noon until the university

354
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.039
<v Speaker 1>comes up with a proposal for the stadium grounds to

355
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.319
<v Speaker 1>benefit the military veterans for whom the land was originally deeded.

357
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:42.599

358
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:46.640
<v Speaker 1>He also criticized the VA, saying they illegally leased parts

359
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of the West La campus to UCLA's baseball team, the

395
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.480

396
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:44.720
<v Speaker 1>sign three oil industry related bills into law. The bills

397
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:47.920
<v Speaker 1>address the idle oil wells that Newsom says continue to

398
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.039
<v Speaker 1>leak toxins into the air and the ground. Newsom says

399
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:54.359
<v Speaker 1>the new laws will place the responsibility to cap and

400
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:58.000
<v Speaker 1>clean the idle oil wells back on the oil companies.

401
00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:01.359
<v Speaker 1>The city of Malibu is cracking down on people parking

00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:08.319
<v Speaker 1>officials say they're just following Governor Newsom's mandate to enforce

404
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:12.440
<v Speaker 1>existing laws that prohibit overnight parking in public spaces. New

405

409
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.920
<v Speaker 1>More countries. They're calling for a ceasefire in Israel as

410
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Israel tells its troops to prepare for a ground operation

411
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:41.559
<v Speaker 1>into Lebanon. So much to see and so much to

412
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:46.559
<v Speaker 1>do as we head into the Halloween scary season, So

413
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>we're doing Boop reviews for you, checking out some things

414
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:52.039
<v Speaker 1>that you might want to go and see for yourself.

415
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.519
<v Speaker 1>This week, we're going out and about for the return

416
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>of Dark Harbor. We caught up with the creative genius

417
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:04.039
<v Speaker 1>behind Dark Harbor Amy Holloman, so Amy, Dark Harbor has

418
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.759
<v Speaker 1>been dark for a few years, but now has risen

419
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:09.960
<v Speaker 1>from the dead and is back at the Queen Mary.

420
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:10.759
<v Speaker 1>How exciting is that?

421
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:14.359
<v Speaker 9>Extremely exciting. I think so many people didn't think Dark

422
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.640
<v Speaker 9>Harbor could come back. So it's an honor, a challenge

423
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:20.960
<v Speaker 9>and our pleasure to bring back Dark Harbor after four

424
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:21.920
<v Speaker 9>years of being dormant.

425
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Four years, and I know that you've had your first

426
00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:28.759
<v Speaker 1>few nights of it, and so far it's like record breaking.

427
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:30.640
<v Speaker 1>People are coming out for it. That's right.

428
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.440
<v Speaker 9>We've seen great attendance so far, and people just seem

429
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:39.000
<v Speaker 9>to be having a great time, screaming, laughing, smiling, sneaking

430
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:42.359
<v Speaker 9>into the speakeasies, having a drink, loosening up a bit,

431
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:43.200
<v Speaker 9>and then bab.

432
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.400
<v Speaker 1>We get him again. She's going to be doing that

433
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:47.839
<v Speaker 1>to me a lot. Okay, so Amy, tell us if

434
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.759
<v Speaker 1>people haven't been to Dark Harbor before. We're in the

435
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:54.599
<v Speaker 1>entrance way, and this is just so impressive. I can't

436
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:57.000
<v Speaker 1>even imagine what's going to be inside the mazes. But

437
00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:59.400
<v Speaker 1>what kind of mazes do we have this year? What

438
00:24:59.440 --> 00:24:59.920
<v Speaker 1>coul people have?

439
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.640
<v Speaker 9>Okay, we have five mazes from Dark Harbor. We're bringing

440
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.799
<v Speaker 9>back the original Feast that's inside the ship. It's the

441
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:12.160
<v Speaker 9>only remaining Dark Harbor maze from the past, but we're

442
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.000
<v Speaker 9>making the prequel to the story this year, where you

443
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.440
<v Speaker 9>see the butcher doing everything he can to rise the

444
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:21.200
<v Speaker 9>ranks to become the head chef aboard.

445
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>We also have Lullaby, which.

446
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:26.599
<v Speaker 9>Is the story about the little girl Scary Mary, who

447
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:27.720
<v Speaker 9>died in the pool.

448
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I've heard of Scary Mary. You gotta watch out.

449
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:32.839
<v Speaker 9>Our third maze on the ship that's brand new this

450
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:36.039
<v Speaker 9>year is Infirmary Okay, and this is where we learn

451
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:40.799
<v Speaker 9>about a love story between the graceful gil Icon and

452
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:45.279
<v Speaker 9>a new character, the surgeon doctor Edwin Masters.

453
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.079
<v Speaker 1>I will love hell into it, he gets, explaining. Okay,

454
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:49.640
<v Speaker 1>what else we have?

455
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:52.440
<v Speaker 9>We have two mazes in the Harbor. One is the

456
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.359
<v Speaker 9>ring Master's Big Top Terror, where the ring Master is

457
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:59.720
<v Speaker 9>putting together all of their henschees as they call them,

458
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.839
<v Speaker 9>to bring fear and instill in the Circus of the Damned.

459
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:06.119
<v Speaker 1>And then lastly we have.

460
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:10.279
<v Speaker 9>Our new double maze Breakout where the story of B

461
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 9>three forty.

462
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.960
<v Speaker 1>And then that's the Room that is America.

463
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:17.960
<v Speaker 9>The most haunted hotel room in America, maybe the world,

464
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.359
<v Speaker 9>where Samuel the Savage was locked up after murdering two

465
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.519
<v Speaker 9>people and mysteriously ended up dead.

466
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Seemed like the room was.

467
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:32.359
<v Speaker 9>Torn to shatters, to tatters. We don't know what happened

468
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:35.799
<v Speaker 9>in there. Yeah, but we're bringing that story off the

469
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:39.240
<v Speaker 9>ship every night. Sam the Savage is brought out in

470
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:42.799
<v Speaker 9>chains by two prison guards who bring him to the

471
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:47.640
<v Speaker 9>Seaside prison and breakout. But could a prison hold Samuel Savage?

472
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:50.799
<v Speaker 1>Of course not? Okay, of course not. So he breaks

473
00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:51.960
<v Speaker 1>out and then.

474
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 9>You, you, Amy, tonight will be in the steps of

475
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:58.519
<v Speaker 9>Samuel the Savage on the run through the Seaside village

476
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:02.880
<v Speaker 9>trying to escape and once again to murder all those

477
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:03.480
<v Speaker 9>who come to.

478
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Dark Harbor or the Creamery. So we're pretty excited about that, okay.

479
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>In this experience, this is a scary one. This is

480
00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.319
<v Speaker 1>not for the faint of heart, because you've got you've

481
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.440
<v Speaker 1>got what they call them scare actors, but you've got

482
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:16.839
<v Speaker 1>people jumping out at you and that kind of stuff

483
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:17.480
<v Speaker 1>all over the place.

484
00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:20.599
<v Speaker 9>Right, It's an intense, high startled experience.

485
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:22.519
<v Speaker 1>I we we do.

486
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.039
<v Speaker 9>Ever have a festival like atmosphere all over the grounds

487
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:28.519
<v Speaker 9>where you can get food, drinks, you can even go

488
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:30.960
<v Speaker 9>to our Voodoo Bayou where you can chill out, So

489
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:33.440
<v Speaker 9>you could come with your friends even if you're a

490
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:36.359
<v Speaker 9>little scared, if that's okay. You just have to be

491
00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:40.759
<v Speaker 9>ready for potentially some clowns, some scary stilt walkers or

492
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:43.640
<v Speaker 9>chainsaws in the streets. But besides that, once you get

493
00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:46.759
<v Speaker 9>to the Voodoo Bayou, you can have some'mores, you can

494
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:50.759
<v Speaker 9>smoke kuka. There's almost a little bit of everything for somebody.

495
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:51.960
<v Speaker 9>A Dark Harbor this year.

496
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and then there's a full on carnival. Two. Oh yeah,

00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:56.079
<v Speaker 1>there's rides. So we have thrill rides.

498
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.759
<v Speaker 9>So we brought back the Sinister Swings Kick. Those are

499
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:02.160

501
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:08.440

00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:16.079
<v Speaker 9>Wheel that's the only one on this half of the

505
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.160
<v Speaker 9>country where you go up high and you spin.

506
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.480
<v Speaker 1>So lots of different types of thrills. Okay. And when

<v Speaker 1>we wanted to dig a little deeper into what the

600
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Union Rescue Mission is and what it does, because I

601
00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:32.720
<v Speaker 1>think it's really important to understand how Union Rescue Mission

602
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:36.200
<v Speaker 1>is different than other organizations. So let's say good morning

603
00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:39.559
<v Speaker 1>to the vice president of Philanthropy and Social Enterprise with

604
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the Union Rescue Mission, Richard Newcombe.

605
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:44.519
<v Speaker 8>Good morning, Amy, thrilled to be here with you.

606
00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm thrilled and terrified to be here with you.

607
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:51.119
<v Speaker 1>So tell us exactly real quick before we talk about

608
00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:53.279
<v Speaker 1>the Union Rescue Mission. What Neil Sevadra and I have

609
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:54.680
<v Speaker 1>gotten ourselves into.

610
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:57.359
<v Speaker 11>We're shooting for two million dollars and we repelling off

611
00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:00.880
<v Speaker 11>the roof of the Universal Hilton Hotel on September twenty

612
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:03.000
<v Speaker 11>seventh and twenty eighth. And that's what you signed up

613
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.960
<v Speaker 11>for all day Friday. You're coming right, you're looking at

614
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:06.440
<v Speaker 11>checking out.

615
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:09.199
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm coming. I'll be there. We're both Neil and I.

616
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:11.840
<v Speaker 1>We're going over the edge because we want we believe

617
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:14.639
<v Speaker 1>in this in the Union Rescue Mission, and we want

618
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:18.000
<v Speaker 1>to help you raise money. Okay, So let's talk about this, Richard,

619
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:21.800
<v Speaker 1>because people are skeptical of donating to homeless programs. I mean,

620
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:23.519
<v Speaker 1>I just want to kind of the elephant in the

621
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:26.679
<v Speaker 1>room because so much money has been thrown at this problem,

622
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and homelessness is getting worse. We all see it every

623
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:32.880
<v Speaker 1>day just driving around town. So let's talk about the

624
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Union Rescue Mission and how it is different from other

625
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:37.719
<v Speaker 1>programs that are fighting homelessness.

626
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:39.679
<v Speaker 8>Well, I'm glad you brought that up.

627
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:43.639
<v Speaker 11>We sense that the citizenry of Los Angeles is frustrated

628
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:46.400
<v Speaker 11>with the homeless situation. It doesn't seem to be improving.

629
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:49.840
<v Speaker 11>It didn't go up on the last account and went

630
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:52.599
<v Speaker 11>down by two hundred people from seventy five thousand, five

631
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:55.840
<v Speaker 11>hundred to seventy five thousand, three hundred. But people aren't

632
00:34:55.840 --> 00:35:00.519
<v Speaker 11>seeing a real change, and so we I've launched a

633
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:03.400
<v Speaker 11>campaign that is part of this event called just Help One,

634
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:06.320
<v Speaker 11>because we want people to not give up the fight.

635
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.920
<v Speaker 11>The seventeen million people in metropolitan Los Angeles, what if

636
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:12.719
<v Speaker 11>each of us stepped up to help one person? And

637
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:15.559
<v Speaker 11>so we're trying to let people know. It's an awareness campaign.

638
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:18.320
<v Speaker 11>We have billboards all over town, We're running radio ads

639
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:22.559
<v Speaker 11>on iHeartRadio stations and rallying people to our cause. Because

640
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:24.760
<v Speaker 11>Union Rescue Mission has been in Los Angeles for one

641
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:28.199
<v Speaker 11>hundred and thirty three years, we receive no government general

642
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.400
<v Speaker 11>operating funding and we get a perfect one hundred rating

643
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:34.360
<v Speaker 11>from Charity Navigator because eighty six cents of every dollar

644
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:37.000
<v Speaker 11>is going to life saving life transformation of programs.

645
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:39.559
<v Speaker 8>Okay, so yeple and fall short.

646
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:41.480
<v Speaker 11>Yes, Yeah, we want to talk.

647
00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:43.239
<v Speaker 1>About the government funding. Neil and I have talked about it,

648
00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:45.360
<v Speaker 1>but I want to hear it from you. You guys

649
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:47.119
<v Speaker 1>don't get any government money.

650
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:51.599
<v Speaker 11>Why because if you take funds from the city, county,

651
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:54.679
<v Speaker 11>or state, you have to run your facilities under the

652
00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:57.199
<v Speaker 11>harm reduction model, which means people are allowed to use

653
00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:59.719
<v Speaker 11>drugs and alcohol in your facility, which we do not.

654
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, and that's really powerful because if you think

655
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.679
<v Speaker 1>about it, it's the people who want to get help

656
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:09.920
<v Speaker 1>who are coming to you.

657
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:13.000
<v Speaker 8>Correct, And I think correct.

658
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.760
<v Speaker 11>Last night, last night we had thirteen hundred human beings

659
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:20.199
<v Speaker 11>under roof at our three facilities, sober living facilities. Nine

660
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:22.280
<v Speaker 11>hundred of them were moms, dads and kids. In over

661
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.000
<v Speaker 11>one hundred and fifty were seniors. What kind of chaos

662
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:28.280
<v Speaker 11>would ensue if drugs and alcohol flowed freely in those environments.

663
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The other thing that I think is great about

664
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:32.719
<v Speaker 1>your organization is that you were telling us about like

665
00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:35.519
<v Speaker 1>the transitional housing. So you're feeding thousands of people, but

666
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:39.599
<v Speaker 1>you're also working to actively help people get off the

667
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:41.119
<v Speaker 1>streets and get back into housing.

668
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:42.880
<v Speaker 12>Correct.

669
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.679
<v Speaker 11>We have lots of supportive programs that we offered, but

670
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:49.480
<v Speaker 11>people need to embrace it. Yes, I'm looking for change.

671
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:51.480
<v Speaker 11>One of them is Hope Garden's Family Center out in

672
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:54.719
<v Speaker 11>Silmar from moms and children. It's two to three years.

673
00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:58.280
<v Speaker 11>You know, you get your ged, you get money management skills,

674
00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:59.880
<v Speaker 11>We help you train for a job, We help you

675
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:02.639
<v Speaker 11>find a job, We help you save. We had two

676
00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:05.880
<v Speaker 11>moms graduate recently, one at Save seventeen thousand and one

677
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:07.760
<v Speaker 11>at Save twenty you know, and now they're moving on

678
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:09.079
<v Speaker 11>to a self sustaining life.

679
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:11.239
<v Speaker 8>Eighty percent success right at Hope Gardens.

680
00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:14.760
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing. See. So, like you said, we can't there's

681
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:17.480
<v Speaker 1>seventy five thousand people. We can't help them all, but

682
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.880
<v Speaker 1>we can help them one at a time, and especially

683
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:21.639
<v Speaker 1>help the ones who want the help.

684
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:25.360
<v Speaker 8>And Union Rescue Mission welcome. Then seventy five.

685
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:27.760
<v Speaker 11>Hundred human beings in the past year. That's ten percent

686
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:31.840
<v Speaker 11>of the entire homeless population. So we're making a significant impact.

687
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:34.719
<v Speaker 11>We are doing it efficiently and effectively. We hope the

688
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:37.199
<v Speaker 11>citizenry of Los Angeles will rally around us.

689
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:38.119
<v Speaker 8>And help us do more.

690
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so in the immediate future, tell us how we're

691
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:45.880
<v Speaker 1>going to rally around it. So one way is to

692
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:48.880
<v Speaker 1>make a donation just help one dot org. And we

693
00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:52.920
<v Speaker 1>now have a tab on the homepage for the Team iHeart.

694
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:54.880
<v Speaker 1>You can go directly to it and make a donation

695
00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to support Neil and me and others from some of

696
00:37:58.000 --> 00:37:59.800
<v Speaker 1>our other sister radio stations who are going to be

697
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.760
<v Speaker 1>going over the edge. And then if you want to

698
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:05.400
<v Speaker 1>conquer a fear and maybe repel down a twenty five

699
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.239
<v Speaker 1>story building, how do you do that, Richard?

700
00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:11.199
<v Speaker 11>They go to that same website, just help one the

701
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:15.280
<v Speaker 11>number one dot org and sign up. You know, there's

702
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:18.719
<v Speaker 11>three buttons. It's a registered sponsor and then it's got

703
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:21.199
<v Speaker 11>iheart's button and so people.

704
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:24.119
<v Speaker 8>We'd love to have more participants. We do have the slots.

705
00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:26.880
<v Speaker 11>Some available on Friday, lots available on Saturday.

706
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:28.639
<v Speaker 8>And it's safe.

707
00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:31.000
<v Speaker 11>This has been going on for twenty years in North

708
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.800
<v Speaker 11>America and the only person went to a hospital had

709
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:37.000
<v Speaker 11>an allergic beasting. Nobody's ever going to hurt. I've done

710
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:39.360
<v Speaker 11>it eight times. It's a little scary to go over

711
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:41.760
<v Speaker 11>the edge. At first you look down. You are up

712
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:46.079
<v Speaker 11>there with me, right and we look down. But it's

713
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:49.960
<v Speaker 11>a blast, and afterwards it's exhilarating. And every participant within

714
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:52.280
<v Speaker 11>two to three hours afterwards, it gets a video that

715
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:56.280
<v Speaker 11>includes drone footage and you personally going from the roof

716
00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:59.119
<v Speaker 11>to the bottom, and they get that and they can

717
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:01.519
<v Speaker 11>post that on social media, email a text it with

718
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:03.519
<v Speaker 11>him two to three hours after their experience.

719
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Richard Nucombe, thank you so much for coming on because

720
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I think, like I said, people are skeptical and this

721
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:12.639
<v Speaker 1>is an organization you can get behind and whether you

722
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:15.039
<v Speaker 1>can donate ten dollars or one hundred or one thousand dollars,

723
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:17.360
<v Speaker 1>will take it. We need it and people need it.

724
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:17.960
<v Speaker 8>God bless you.

725
00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Thanks you all right, take care, pretty amazing stuff and

726
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:26.480
<v Speaker 1>we're going over the edge tomorrow and hope that you

727
00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:30.119
<v Speaker 1>will join in the fight and make a donation again,

728
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:32.360
<v Speaker 1>whether it's a dollar or one hundred dollars or one

729
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:35.679
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars, we would appreciate anything that you can give.

730
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:39.199
<v Speaker 1>It's just help one dot org. And there's a Team

731
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.199
<v Speaker 1>iHeart button right there on the front page. And then

732
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:44.719
<v Speaker 1>go and you can donate to me so I can

733
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:47.039
<v Speaker 1>beat Neil because I think I'm ahead of him now.

734
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:49.079
<v Speaker 1>He was ahead of me a little while ago, but

735
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.519
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm ahead now And want to say a
