Speaker 5: the World Series.
Speaker 1: With a ten to five win against the Mets in

Speaker 1: been in the World Series. Game one is Friday night

Speaker 3: It's critical that we start to get a handle on homelessness.
Speaker 7: The city Council is expected to vote on a symbolic

Speaker 7: have argued it would discourage developers from building all the
Speaker 7: needed housing in the state in downtown La Michael mun
Speaker 7: Ki if I News.
Speaker 1: Hurricane Oscar has made landfall in Cuba. Meteorologist Danny Beckstrom

Speaker 5: She says.
Speaker 1: Temperatures are expected to go up again this week in
Speaker 1: many parts of the US, and record highs are likely
Speaker 1: in some places. Here in southern California, forecasters are predicting
Speaker 1: warming temperatures, particularly in Riverside County, with the mercury getting
Speaker 1: into the high nineties by Wednesday. Yeah, mid October feels
Speaker 1: like September, feels like August, feels like July. Gaza health

Speaker 1: Israeli forces hit residential buildings in northern Gaza. UN officials
Speaker 1: say Israel is intensifying its assault on northern Gaza, forcing
Speaker 1: thousands to flee a key refugee camp. This comes days
Speaker 1: after Israeli forces killed Hamas leader Yeah Yah Sinwar, temporarily
Speaker 1: raising hopes for a possible cease fire.
Speaker 5: It's five seven on your wake up call.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen,
Speaker 1: we're headed into the home stretch. Both candidates are pulling
Speaker 1: out all the stops, So we're going to check in
Speaker 1: on what former President Trump is up to with Stephen
Speaker 1: Portnoy a little later. You get to go first. We
Speaker 1: have you to tell us what Vice President Harris has
Speaker 1: been up to and where she was over the weekend.
Speaker 8: I like that, and I'm going to tell him that
Speaker 8: I got to go first too.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 8: Brag about that she was in Georgia on Sunday visiting
Speaker 8: historically black churches. And this is part of, you know,
Speaker 8: a significantly stepped up effort over the last week that
Speaker 8: we've seen her in the battle ground states, really hitting
Speaker 8: hard against Donald Trump, doing more of his clips at
Speaker 8: her rallies, you know, showing his own words at her
Speaker 8: events to get her crowd going, and bringing out some
Speaker 8: more star power at her events, whether it's Usher, Liz O,
Speaker 8: Stevie Wonder or this week she's going to have Brock
Speaker 8: and Michelle Obama doing her out on the campaign trail
Speaker 8: in the battleground states. Fifteen days Togo, everything feels like
Speaker 8: it's really starting to get dialed up. And today she's
Speaker 8: going to be in the Blue Wall States, traveling to Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Speaker 8: and Wisconsin. And today the strategy is interesting. She's going
Speaker 8: to be joined by former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney for
Speaker 8: a series of conversations. These aren't big rallies, but more
Speaker 8: of a sit down in each state, take some questions
Speaker 8: and talk about policy proposals, part of an effort to
Speaker 8: reach out to independence and Republicans and peel them away
Speaker 8: from former President Donald Trump. Remember we talked about this
Speaker 8: when Cheney campaigned with Harris earlier this month in Wisconsin.
Speaker 8: She said she's supporting her because she will support the Constitution,
Speaker 8: and she said that this is the first time she's
Speaker 8: ever cast her vote for a Democrat in a presidential.
Speaker 1: Election, which is so interesting the whole just again, I
Speaker 1: think people switched parties all the time, but Liz Cheney
Speaker 1: is generally not very progressive.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and she, you know, when she did that event,
Speaker 8: she was like, you know, I was doing campaign rallies
Speaker 8: as a kid, Like this is part of her. Her
Speaker 8: whole upbringing was Republican party politics. So for her to
Speaker 8: come out and I think it's notable, you know, not
Speaker 8: just come out and say I am not supporting Donald
Speaker 8: Trump up supporting Vice President Harris. She's also doing work,
Speaker 8: you know, she is out there on the road doing
Speaker 8: these events with her and trying to drum up support
Speaker 8: for the vice president. I mean, it's really kind of
Speaker 8: going the extra mile there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And you mentioned the star power, so to.
Speaker 1: If passed, does any indicator does the star power really
Speaker 1: do anything?
Speaker 8: You know, it's not clear if it does. I think,
Speaker 8: you know, let's take, for example, the Taylor Swift endorsement.
Speaker 8: Does that change minds? We had some polling that came
Speaker 8: out right afterwards and said no, not necessarily. But what
Speaker 8: it did do is drove people to register to vote.
Speaker 8: I mean, the numbers skyrocketed on the voting website that
Speaker 8: Taylor Swift had linked to, where people were then going
Speaker 8: and registering. So there's a benefit for an endorsement or
Speaker 8: a celebrity support for something like that. The Obama's being
Speaker 8: out there on the campaign trail is significant because you
Speaker 8: know they're there to try and make sure that Democrats
Speaker 8: are voting, you know, people who are kind of like,
Speaker 8: I don't know, I'm not feeling it. They need to
Speaker 8: make sure that her numbers are just as high as
Speaker 8: Joe Biden's in twenty twenty, if not higher, among certain
Speaker 8: demographic groups in certain areas. So you're going to see her,
Speaker 8: excuse me, out on the trail with Barack Obama in
Speaker 8: Georgia on Thursday and then in Michigan with the former
Speaker 8: First Lady on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Well, and it'll be interesting because, like when you look
Speaker 1: at who's out there, like you would think that the
Speaker 1: Obamas would have an effect. And like you said that,
Speaker 1: after Taylor Swift endorsed, they got a ton of people
Speaker 1: to sign up. Will those translate into votes or are
Speaker 1: they just now registered voters that aren't going to do
Speaker 1: anything about it? Right?
Speaker 8: And that's what you need to make sure. You've got
Speaker 8: to follow up with all those people. And this is
Speaker 8: where you have those you know, high profile Democrats like
Speaker 8: the Obama's out there with a message of you know,
Speaker 8: as we heard from Michelle, excuse me at the convention,
Speaker 8: you have to do something. You've got to do the
Speaker 8: hard work. You've got to, you know, talk to your neighbors,
Speaker 8: make sure they have a plan to vote. You know,
Speaker 8: they're out there as attack dogs against Donald Trump, but
Speaker 8: also as here is how you do it, and get
Speaker 8: your fellow Democrats or people who could be like minded
Speaker 8: to also get out there and get on this support now.
Speaker 1: And then, Karen, tell me if you've noticed this, because
Speaker 1: I was watching I was watching all the shows, of course,
Speaker 1: including this Week with George Stefanoppolos yesterday, And what the
Speaker 1: pundans are saying and what I've seen.
Speaker 5: Too is she is less joyful these days, and Harris.
Speaker 1: Is like digging in to hammer that message home, as
Speaker 1: opposed to just saying, hey, we're the party of joy
Speaker 1: and happiness.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, there's certainly an urgency to her message,
Speaker 8: and she is really punching back harder maybe against Trump
Speaker 8: than just a couple of weeks ago and doing it
Speaker 8: I think in a very specific way. You know, Friday,
Speaker 8: they were really going after him, saying that you know,
Speaker 8: he was exhausted, unfit, couldn't handle it out there on
Speaker 8: the campaign trail, and he fired right back. But you know,
Speaker 8: over the weekend in Georgia, we saw her say, you know,
Speaker 8: the voters have to decide do we want to be
Speaker 8: a country of chaos, fear and hate or a country
Speaker 8: of freedom, compassion and justice. And I think that's a
Speaker 8: big theme for her over the next fifteen days. And
Speaker 8: you know, is that joyful?
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 8: It depends on how you frame it, I guess, but
Speaker 8: there's certainly an urgency about what she says. The stakes
Speaker 8: are right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, And she's in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin today and
Speaker 1: then did they keep up this sort of breakneck speed
Speaker 1: schedule for two weeks?
Speaker 8: Really?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 8: Back in Pennsylvania for a CNN town hall this week
Speaker 8: and then back out on the trail. She's with Obama
Speaker 8: in Georgia on Thursday, Michelle in Michigan on Saturday, and
Speaker 8: events in between.
Speaker 5: Of course, Well, I have a feeling you and I
Speaker 5: are going to be talking a lot in the next
Speaker 5: couple of weeks. They all right, Karen's.
Speaker 8: Congratulations on baseball.
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you, thank you. We're very excited.
Speaker 8: I bet it's a very great series.
Speaker 5: All right, thanks Karen, have a good day. All right.
Speaker 1: We're going to find out what former President Trump is
Speaker 1: up too with ABC Stephen Portnoy. That's coming up at
Speaker 1: five point fifty and apparently it included a trip to McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Officials in Georgia
Speaker 1: are investigating what went wrong with a three year old
Speaker 1: ferry doc that collapsed, killing at least seven people.
Speaker 5: This man was on the gangway just before it gave way.
Speaker 4: I felt this slide like going backways. John leaked and
Speaker 4: jumped in. The two girls behind me.
Speaker 10: They fell in.
Speaker 4: The whole rap fell.
Speaker 1: The people who died were all senior citizen sins, ranging
Speaker 1: in age from seventy three to ninety three. A Social
Speaker 1: security analyst says, despite the cost of living adjustments being
Speaker 1: the smallest in the last four years, most people who
Speaker 1: rely on them should see some benefits. The Social Security
Speaker 1: Administration has announced the cost of living increase for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five will be two and a half percent. Vice
Speaker 1: President of Government Affairs at AARP, Jen Jones says that
Speaker 1: means an average rise in Social Security payments of forty
Speaker 1: eight dollars, which should help people cover the cost of
Speaker 1: gas and groceries.
Speaker 5: The COLA is an annual increase, so this reliable extra income.
Speaker 5: It matters a lot, especially to those unfixed income, but
Speaker 5: it's not a game changer, she says.
Speaker 1: In California, more than six million people are on Social Security.
Speaker 1: Billionaire Elon Musk is offering people even more money in
Speaker 1: swing states to sign his conservative, leaving leaning Constitution petition.
Speaker 9: Musk announced his pro Trump super pac would be awarding
Speaker 9: one million dollars to a random signee every day from
Speaker 9: now until the election. Initially launched the petition and referral
Speaker 9: offer program in early October, offering people forty seven dollars
Speaker 9: for sign ups and referrals. Now he's offering Pennsylvania voters
Speaker 9: one hundred dollars to sign the petition that pledges their
Speaker 9: support of the Constitution's First and second amendments. Mosk says
Speaker 9: his goal is to get between one and two million
Speaker 9: voters to sign up sign ups and Monday at midnight.
Speaker 5: How the Brooker KFI news.
Speaker 1: Cher, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Ozzy Osbourne, and Cool in the
Speaker 1: Gang are among the artists inducted into the Rock and
Speaker 1: Roll Hall of Fame and a ceremony Saturday night in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Buffett and Mary Jake Blige, along with Dean Warwick,
Speaker 1: we're among the artists honored for musical excellence. ABC plans
Speaker 1: to air the induction ceremony on January first. Well, that
Speaker 1: seems like a long delay, doesn't it. Of course, the
Speaker 1: Dodgers clinched and win the National League Championship Series. What
Speaker 1: a game, A slugfest, you know what. I am just
Speaker 1: I would rather have had them win in four. But
Speaker 1: the stress in the excitement, it was so cool. And
Speaker 1: and then you know they win at home, which they
Speaker 1: haven't done for a while.
Speaker 5: So awesome. Four games left to go, guys. Here's what
Speaker 5: we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: Some shaken in the Southland. Three quakes rumbled in the
Speaker 1: ocean off Catalina Island. The first was a three point
Speaker 1: one that hit at four to eleven yesterday afternoon, followed
Speaker 1: a few minutes later by a two point five, which
Speaker 1: probably means you didn't feel it, and then there was
Speaker 1: a three point six At five point thirty two. A
Speaker 1: Hollywood prop storage facility is burned near the Hollywood Burbank Airport.
Speaker 1: The fire yesterday afternoon sent up a big plume black smoke.
Speaker 1: Took firefighters about an hour to put it out. LA
Speaker 1: Fire says Cruise were able to keep the fire from
Speaker 1: spreading to a nearby commercial building. Smile two has scared
Speaker 1: away the competition at the box office. The horror sequel
Speaker 1: took in about twenty three million dollars in its opening weekend.
Speaker 1: The Wild Robot, which is now also available to renter
Speaker 1: by on streaming, came in second. It got in about
Speaker 1: eleven million dollars, and then another horror movie, Terrifier three,
Speaker 1: finished third. I didn't know there was even a Terrifier
Speaker 1: one and two. At six oh five, it's handled. On
Speaker 1: the news, thirty thousand Boeing workers may be about to
Speaker 1: strike a deal to end the five week old strike.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Giordana Miller in Jerusalem.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Giordana, So Hezbola may be down, but they're
Speaker 1: not out. They fired more than one hundred rockets in
Speaker 1: Israel yesterday and apparently not just into fields and unpopulated areas.
Speaker 3: Marshall Hasbola on average has been firing about two hundred
Speaker 3: missiles and rockets and drones a day. That's been the
Speaker 3: average for almost two weeks now, and it seems to
Speaker 3: be the new normal, especially on the Haifa, the city
Speaker 3: of Haifa, in the district of Haifa, where they're about
Speaker 3: a million Israelis. And on Saturday, Hasbala claimed a drone
Speaker 3: strike that was aiming for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanya's
Speaker 3: vacation home in the city of Czaria that's off the
Speaker 3: coast north of Tel Aviv, and the Israeli Army admitted
Speaker 3: that there was a security breach and that that drone
Speaker 3: actually crashed down in the city. We don't know how
Speaker 3: close it got to the Prime Minister's residence, but it
Speaker 3: underscores the real challenge that the one of the best
Speaker 3: armies in the world. You know, they still face a
Speaker 3: major challenge from these drones. They are small, they fly low,
Speaker 3: they're hard to detect, but they are deadly. They can
Speaker 3: switch their flight paths and they can be very precise
Speaker 3: in where they're going again, making them quite dangerous. So
Speaker 3: this one was crashed down. Understand, the Prime Minister was
Speaker 3: not at home. He was at pierced here in Jerusalem,
Speaker 3: and he put out a statement. He called it a
Speaker 3: grave mistake that Huzbala tried to assassinate him, and he
Speaker 3: said that you know, Husbala will pay a heavy price.
Speaker 3: They have been paying a heavy price really for weeks now.
Speaker 3: The Israeli Army has been pummeling not only Hasbala targets
Speaker 3: in southern Lebanon and sending ground troops in, but also
Speaker 3: in Beirut in Hasbella stronghold there. And for the first
Speaker 3: time overnight we saw the Israeli Army hit what they
Speaker 3: call Hasbalah linked financial institutions. There's a bank, a lending
Speaker 3: institution that was set up by Husbala some years back,
Speaker 3: and it has branches in Beirut and throughout southern Lebanon,
Speaker 3: and Israel went after those buildings and branches overnight, hitting them,
Speaker 3: saying that this is part of the lifeline to Hasbalah
Speaker 3: is to operate through these through these financial institutions.
Speaker 1: So I'm curious with everything online and digital now is
Speaker 1: that even if you blew up the banks, does that
Speaker 1: really disrupt things because you know, money isn't really money anymore, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a good question. I think there's no
Speaker 3: doubt that it's still you know, a blow to Zala,
Speaker 3: that these headquarters and Schmidt and these branches that some
Speaker 3: ordinary Lebanese also just supportives of Haswali youth, you know,
Speaker 3: are no longer you know, they're no longer open for business.
Speaker 3: And it's truth. There's a lot that happens online. But
Speaker 3: I think this is Israel's way of expanding the targets
Speaker 3: against Hazla from its leadership and its fighters and its
Speaker 3: military assets in southern Lebanon and it's you know, weapons
Speaker 3: storage site to now its financial lines, and I think
Speaker 3: we will continue to see that in the in the weeks.
Speaker 5: Ahead, okay.
Speaker 1: And then moving over to Gaza, the Gaza Health Ministry,
Speaker 1: which is run by Hamas of course, is saying that
Speaker 1: almost one hundred were killed in Gaza just yesterday.
Speaker 5: I believe.
Speaker 3: The army carried out a series of strikes in Jabalia.
Speaker 3: This is a refugee camp that is still still seething
Speaker 3: with or we should say, there's still a very strong
Speaker 3: Hamas insurgency inside this refugee camp, and Israel carried out
Speaker 3: Israel carried out several bombings on this camp and unfortunately
Speaker 3: there were also you know, according to the Hamas run
Speaker 3: the Health Ministry, over eighty eighty people were killed, including
Speaker 3: children and women.
Speaker 4: And again we see again and again that.
Speaker 3: The people of Gaza are paying such a heavy price
Speaker 3: for this war because Hamas embeds itself in every nook
Speaker 3: and cranny of the Gaza Strip and now more than ever,
Speaker 3: as they try to survive as an insurgency, their leader,
Speaker 3: Yaka Seymour, has just been killed by Israel a few
Speaker 3: days ago. That disrupts them again and they're they're trying
Speaker 3: to hold on in some fashion, and that means that
Speaker 3: they operate everywhere, including refugee camps, including mosques, including homes,
Speaker 3: including even the humanitarian zone. Right we've seen We've seen
Speaker 3: Hamas carry out strikes from there, We've seen them hold
Speaker 3: hostages there inside the humanitarian zone. So this is you know,
Speaker 3: this continues to be, you know, a tragic war for
Speaker 3: the people of Gaza, who will no doubt be relieved,
Speaker 3: you know, when this war ends, and we can only
Speaker 3: pray it will be soon, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Jerdana Miller and Jerusalem, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: the information. As always, we will talk to you again soon.
Speaker 1: Nearly twenty four hundred mental health professionals at Kaiser Permanente
Speaker 1: could go on strike as soon as today in southern California.
Speaker 1: The National Union of Healthcare Workers is the reason for
Speaker 1: a strike is that Kaiser doesn't have enough staff needed
Speaker 1: to give timely care, and a lot of workers have
Speaker 1: to work overtime to cover the shortage. A spokeswoman for
Speaker 1: Kaiser says they don't think a strike is necessary and
Speaker 1: that an agreement can be reached. Long Beach has plans
Speaker 1: to spend nearly a billion dollars on infrastructure ahead of
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympic Games.
Speaker 11: A large portion of that one billion dollars will likely
Speaker 11: go towards non Olympic projects like maintenance of public spaces
Speaker 11: and the building of homeless shelters.
Speaker 4: Plans to improve of that locations.
Speaker 11: Were released last year, and about two hundred and ten
Speaker 11: million will go towards actual infrastructure. As of yesterday, eight
Speaker 11: Olympic events had been scheduled in the city, including rowing,
Speaker 11: water polo, and sailing Several events will be held at
Speaker 11: the Arena and Marine Stadium, while others will take place
Speaker 11: on the waterfront. Mayor Rex Richardson says the Olympics is
Speaker 11: a huge opportunity for the entire region. Chris Adler kea
Speaker 11: Fine News.
Speaker 1: Heavy rainfall in New Mexico over the weekend has caused
Speaker 1: severe flooding. ABC's Rheanon Alley says at least two people
Speaker 1: have been killed and three hundred others have had to
Speaker 1: be rescued by the National Guard.
Speaker 10: Record breaking rainfall triggered the flash flooding, streets turned into rivers,
Speaker 10: passengers stranded on top of their vehicles floating down roads.
Speaker 1: She says the city of Roswell got nearly a third
Speaker 1: of its annual rainfall in just a few hours. The
Speaker 1: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its forecast for
Speaker 1: this winter. It says it expects a La Nina weather
Speaker 1: pattern will develop, meaning that winter storms will likely spread
Speaker 1: further to northern parts of the US, while southern state
Speaker 1: will be drier and warmer than normal. Climate scientists at
Speaker 1: NOAH say California shouldn't have any issues with drought in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five and northern California might even get more
Speaker 1: rain than normal. Well, that is certainly a positive sign.
Speaker 1: When we come back, do you dress your pets up
Speaker 1: for Halloween? If you must, we might be able to help.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers have earned their spot in the World Series.

Speaker 5: have to see it. It's in a heart shape with
Speaker 5: a ty tie on it. She's like, do you know
Speaker 5: what that is? I'm like, your babies are beanie babies.
Speaker 5: Like when you look at it, you're like, oh my god.
Speaker 5: And it's the easiest costume ever. I love that.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and so do you dress them up every year
Speaker 12: pretty much because it's so easy now they make it
Speaker 12: so easy to do that, and it's so fun and cute.
Speaker 12: We even had a rabbit that we would dress up.
Speaker 12: Oh and a horse. We dress up our horse too.
Speaker 12: What do you dress the horse as?
Speaker 13: You have to make that costume and it's big and
Speaker 13: it's gigantic, and yeah, it's very cute.
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 13: But like a witch's hat on them? Okay, and put like, yeah,
Speaker 13: like that kind of thing, a black blanket on him,
Speaker 13: just kind of you know, improvise. So you said that,
Speaker 13: and you can make the tail like the broom, hell,
Speaker 13: the broom. You know, I don't know that's a great idea.
Speaker 5: We did not do that. Oh okay, so you said
Speaker 5: it's super easy, and I know that I have not
Speaker 5: dressed up my cat for Halloween. Wow, you're a nice mom.
Speaker 5: But I did dress them up for Christmas.
Speaker 1: So and then I was thinking, you can just go
Speaker 1: get costumes anywhere and they're pretty easy, like and pet
Speaker 1: Smart has a whole thing about costumes and they have
Speaker 1: them for like a pretty decent price.
Speaker 5: Like there's a for the dog.
Speaker 1: You can get the classic the hot dog, which I
Speaker 1: always love seeing a dog dressed up like a hot dog.
Speaker 1: I think it's adorable. And you can get there's monster costumes.
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing says Halloween like a cat dressed up
Speaker 1: like a monster, right, and then the Spider costumes are
Speaker 1: always really cool and they're like for twenty bucks or
Speaker 1: less and they yeah, and then there's a skeleton dress.
Speaker 5: Okay, and this is okay.
Speaker 1: I can't I can't show them to all of you,
Speaker 1: but I can show it to the group in the studio.
Speaker 1: It's a guinea pig.
Speaker 5: Where's my camera?
Speaker 1: It's a guinea pig with an alien costume on that
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's kind of cruel and unusual.
Speaker 1: But I dressed Alex up as a Christmas tree. It's adorable.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna we should post these. We'll post these on
Speaker 1: my Instagram at Amy K King and I'll do that
Speaker 1: in the next hour or so.
Speaker 5: Okay, and then Elmer, what about you.
Speaker 6: Scrappy has been Spider Man for like the past five years.
Speaker 5: Is Scrappy the dog?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Scrapy's my dog. Mango hasn't had a costume yet.
Speaker 6: She's my cat, but uh, Scrappy has been Spider Man
Speaker 6: for five years in a row. I just haven't bottom
Speaker 6: in your costume. Okay, it works.
Speaker 1: It is adorable, and I swear you know how like
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, dogs and cats don't really have expressions.
Speaker 5: Mine does.
Speaker 1: And he just like sits there, like really, he's really cute,
Speaker 1: So I mean, he just kind of sits there. It's
Speaker 1: actually he's kind of frozen, which was very fitting because
Speaker 1: he was a Christmas tree so he shouldn't have been
Speaker 1: moving much. But yeah, anyway, so pet Smart has a
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff and they've got toys and treats for
Speaker 1: Halloween and that kind of stuff. So if you're looking
Speaker 1: just to do it and it's not a huge investment,
Speaker 1: it's like ten twenty bucks and they have pictures of it.
Speaker 1: There's some really cute ones. And then a couple of
Speaker 1: things to remember for your pets for Halloween stuff that
Speaker 1: we all know, but it's time for your refresher course.
Speaker 1: Keep chocolate, gum, candy, anything baked away from your pets.
Speaker 1: Keep the whole trick or treat bag away from your pets.
Speaker 1: But they do have pets safe treats if you must.
Speaker 1: If you must, they have those two. And make sure
Speaker 1: if you are going to dress your pet up that
Speaker 1: the costume fits, because, like we said, I don't think
Speaker 1: they probably love them. I think dogs are probably a
Speaker 1: little more receptive than the cats. But just make sure
Speaker 1: they fit so that they're not tripping over anything. And
Speaker 1: if it's a nervous time for you your dog with
Speaker 1: people coming up to the door and ringing the doorbell,
Speaker 1: maybe go keep them.
Speaker 5: In a separate room. My dog always barked like crazy
Speaker 5: and then just sat there.
Speaker 1: He sounded like a good guard dog because he had
Speaker 1: this big, vicious, dark bark, but he wasn't. He would
Speaker 1: have just loved you up and kissed you to death.
Speaker 5: So anyway, so if you.
Speaker 1: Want to Halloween costumes, pet smart, good place to go,
Speaker 1: lots of fun. Let's get back to some of the
Speaker 1: stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. I think they're hard to get, but
Speaker 1: it's very very impressive. And I know, like when I
Speaker 1: went to Washington, DC. If you've ever been there, I
Speaker 1: don't know how you felt about it, but I just
Speaker 1: felt the whole time like, Wow, some really important things happened.
Speaker 1: Here like you just get this sense of how amazing
Speaker 1: the United States is. So if you haven't gone to DC,
Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. If you have, I think you
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. Right, Here's what else we're
Speaker 1: talking about.

Speaker 5: Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: More than two thousand Kaiser Permanente therapists, psychologists, and other
Speaker 1: mental health professionals could go on strike starting today. Kaiser
Speaker 1: officials say they think they can reach a deal without

Speaker 1: get care. With a twenty twenty four election just over
Speaker 1: two weeks away, millions of Americans have already cast ballots.
Speaker 1: As of yesterday, more than thirteen point seven million registered

Speaker 1: A powerball ticket sold in Riverside County came this close
Speaker 1: to winning the big one. The ticket sold at a
Speaker 1: Chevron and Lake Elson Or matched five of the six
Speaker 1: winning numbers. No one won the jackpot on Saturday, so
Speaker 1: the big prize for tonight's drawing is up to four
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six million dollars.
Speaker 5: We're just minutes away from a.
Speaker 1: Handle on the news this morning, mail carriers will soon
Speaker 1: be riding in style thanks to a new deal they've
Speaker 1: reached with the US Postal Service. Right now, it's five
Speaker 1: fifty three, let's say good morning too, ABC's Stephen Portnoy. So, Stephen,
Speaker 1: we talked with Karen Travers about what VP Harris has
Speaker 1: been up to. So let's turn our attention now to
Speaker 1: former President Trump and what he was up to over
Speaker 1: the weekend.
Speaker 14: Sure, the former president spent the whole weekend in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 14: He was in Latrobe on Saturday, got a lot of
Speaker 14: attention for what he said about Arnold Palmer and you
Speaker 14: can google it if you like. I won't delve into
Speaker 14: it here. And then he also said something that was
Speaker 14: vulgar and profest about Kamala Harris that I can't repeat,
Speaker 14: having to do with her vice presidency being lousy.
Speaker 4: Used a word that rhymes with spit. You can google
Speaker 4: that too.
Speaker 14: But of course, the big headline of the weekend I
Speaker 14: think was where the pictures coming out of his stop
Speaker 14: at a McDonald's outside of Philadelphia and Bucks County.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he said for the first time something
Speaker 1: that he probably has never uttered before.
Speaker 5: Do you want fries with that.
Speaker 4: Look.
Speaker 14: You know, it's funny he would have if he had
Speaker 14: taken orders. But no, there were no orders taken, and
Speaker 14: that was why. You know, it's important as you watch
Speaker 14: the video. As impressive as it is, and I've been
Speaker 14: covering politics for a while, this is one of the
Speaker 14: more impressive photo ops that I've seen. But you know,
Speaker 14: there's no world in which the Secret Service is going
Speaker 14: to let some random McDonald's customer drive their car up
Speaker 14: to the window.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to be handed food by Donald Trump. That's not
Speaker 4: how it works.
Speaker 5: But he was handing stuff out, wasn't he.
Speaker 4: Yes, of course I would listen, and he was a
Speaker 4: Secret Service guys.
Speaker 14: Well, no, no, they were voters. But the point is
Speaker 14: or they were American citizens. I mean, they were people
Speaker 14: who were selected in advance. There's no doubt about that, right,
Speaker 14: I mean, because there's again it involves a level of
Speaker 14: pre screening. The restaurant itself was closed, and I don't
Speaker 14: want to parse it too much. I mean, it's a
Speaker 14: photo op, but you know, when beyond the pictures, there's
Speaker 14: a bit of a you know, substance to get into here.
Speaker 14: Reporters were brought in to ask the former president questions
Speaker 14: as he stood out and sort of leaned outside the
Speaker 14: drive through window. One of the reporters asked whether he
Speaker 14: believes that people who work at McDonald should get a
Speaker 14: minimum wage increase, and he dodged the question. So it
Speaker 14: was an opportunity for Donald Trump to demonstrate a bit
Speaker 14: of his common touch and also to troll Kamala Harris,
Speaker 14: because he and his campaign have been alleging that Harris
Speaker 14: has been lying for years when she says that she
Speaker 14: worked at a McDonald's in the Bay Area when she
Speaker 14: was in college, when she was at home for the
Speaker 14: summer from her time at American univer I'm sorry, Howard
Speaker 14: University here in Washington. And so you know, the Harris
Speaker 14: campaign is like, look, Donald Trump's lying when he says
Speaker 14: that Harris is lying.
Speaker 4: That there is no ability for the.
Speaker 14: McDonald's corporation or a franchisey to dig back into their
Speaker 14: records from the early nineteen eighties to prove.
Speaker 4: So it's it's you know, there's birtherism and there's burgerism.
Speaker 4: According to the New York Times, right stealing their lead here.
Speaker 14: But the bottom line is Donald Trump went yesterday not
Speaker 14: just to put on a show, which he did do,
Speaker 14: but also to try to troll Harris. He came away
Speaker 14: from it saying that he has fifteen minutes more experience
Speaker 14: working at McDonald's.
Speaker 4: Than she does.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, it was I agree. It was kind of
Speaker 5: a cool photo up.
Speaker 1: You know what it got me thinking, though, Stephen, is
Speaker 1: about they do the things where everybody goes into a
Speaker 1: stupid ice cream shop and goes, oh, aren't we normal?
Speaker 1: I'm like, who do you know who goes into an
Speaker 1: ice cream shop anymore? I don't unless you're like on vacation.
Speaker 14: Sure, I mean, you know, I've been known to have this,
Speaker 14: you know, cone or two, but you have I haven't. Well,
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, to each your own. But the
Speaker 14: bottom line is, you know, these retail stops, as they
Speaker 14: are known, are meant to kind of sort of put
Speaker 14: on display a candidate's ability to interact with average people.
Speaker 14: And sometimes it goes pretty well. I think yesterday's photo
Speaker 14: op with Trump was a successful one. And then there
Speaker 14: are ones that come off a bit awkward, looking like
Speaker 14: George Herbert Walker Bush at a supermarket checkout being, you know,
Speaker 14: marveling at the barcode scanner because it'd never been at
Speaker 14: a supermarket and which had one, and then questioning the
Speaker 14: price of broccoli or whatever, and then well you know
Speaker 14: and look so so Trump yesterday had two objectives again,
Speaker 14: the first to demonstrate that he could don an apron
Speaker 14: and work the friar. He did do that, although I
Speaker 14: think if you watch the video, it seems to me
Speaker 14: he put too much salt on the fries, and I
Speaker 14: think that the crew member was surprised by how much
Speaker 14: salt Trump put on. But nevertheless he demonstrated he had
Speaker 14: no qualms with doing it. And beyond that, I think
Speaker 14: it's the whole element of trolling Harris again, propagating the
Speaker 14: conspiracy there. I guess now is the best way to
Speaker 14: describe it. That Harris never actually worked at McDonald's. The
Speaker 14: fact is, you know, she says she did, And the
Speaker 14: question is, how do you prove that somebody had an
Speaker 14: hourly job forty years ago without delving into the records,
Speaker 14: perhaps of the Solid Security Administration. I don't know how
Speaker 14: else you are able to offer any kind of documentary
Speaker 14: evidence of it.
Speaker 4: Maybe there's a photograph, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Well, she had to have worked with somebody.
Speaker 4: Well, that's fair.
Speaker 5: I worked at Wendy's and I have several people.
Speaker 14: And I worked at Blockbuster Video, and I could make
Speaker 14: a list of people who would attest to that twenty
Speaker 14: five years ago. So all of it is a good question.
Speaker 14: But also, you know, I mean, what can I say
Speaker 14: she says she worked there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe it's just much ado about nothing, you know, maybe,
Speaker 1: but that's coming from both sides.
Speaker 4: So sure.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I will imagine I would imagine we'll
Speaker 1: be talking to you several times in the next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks as we.
Speaker 5: Head to the big day.
Speaker 4: Looking forward to it.
Speaker 5: All right, Steven Portnoy, thanks so much.
Speaker 1: As always, all right, let's get back to some of
Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: Federal investigators are looking into millions of Teslas that have
Speaker 1: the full self driving feature. About two point four million
Speaker 1: Tesla models SXY and cyber Truck are being investigated by
Speaker 1: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration because there have been
Speaker 1: four crashes, One of them was fatal, involving the car
Speaker 1: driving itself. In each crash, reduced roadway visibility from sunglare
Speaker 1: fog or dust was reported, and that may have caused
Speaker 1: the Tesla to not be able to read the road.
Speaker 1: New research shows about eighty percent of companies have put
Speaker 1: return to office policies in place, but less than twenty
Speaker 1: percent are enforcing them. The study by real estate brokerage
Speaker 1: CBRE shows that a lot of employees do not want
Speaker 1: to go back to the office because they've been working
Speaker 1: remotely since the pandemic started four years ago. Sixty percent
Speaker 1: of employers say they want their employe he's in the
Speaker 1: office three or more days a week, but only thirty
Speaker 1: seven percent of workers show up one or two days
Speaker 1: a week. Huntington Beach could soon plant a Symphony of
Speaker 1: Flowers in central Park Eaes.
Speaker 17: The interactive light show, created by the co founder and
Speaker 17: director of Cirtasla, features one hundred thousand dazzling flowers with
Speaker 17: more than half a million led lights. A couple thousand
Speaker 17: people can walk through the display while enjoying the classical
Speaker 17: music immersive experience that started in Canada but has yet
Speaker 17: to bloom in the US. The Huntington Beach City Council
Speaker 17: voted last week to have staff prepare a report on
Speaker 17: if the six month show was right for the city.
