Let's get started with some of the 56 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:25.240 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 57 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.520 Can't even imagine if we just put a list of 58 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.199 all the songs and all the artists that this man 59 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.520 was involved with. Legendary music producer Quincy Jones has died. 60 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.520 His publicista as Jones died last night at his home 61 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.039 in bel Air, surrounded by family. They put out a 62 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.919 statement saying Jones's death is an incredible loss, but they 63 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.960 celebrate the great life he lived and know there will 64 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.319 never be another like him. Jones once said in an 65 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.240 interview with Billboard Magazine, It's important to believe in yourself, know. 66 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.360 Who you are, learned to love who you are, because 67 00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.599 you can't love anybody else if you will love hisself. 68 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.360 Q, as he was known, had twenty eight Grammys. He 69 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.280 started out as musician and later worked with a long 70 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.199 list of artists from Count Bassie to Frank Sinatra to 71 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.000 Michael Jackson. He also produced We Are the World in 72 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.599 nineteen eighty five. Quincy Jones again was ninety one News 73 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.439 brought to you by one eight hundred. Got junk and 74 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.399 La County fire truck is overturned while headed to a 75 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.879 cliff rescue in the San Gabriel Mountains. Engine thirty two 76 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.319 veered off the road yesterday and apparently fish tailed as 77 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.519 the driver tried to straighten it out. That caused the 78 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.839 truck to overturn. It landed on its side. Three fire 79 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.600 crew members were treated at the hospital. Highway thirty nine 80 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.720 near the San Gabrielle Reservoir was closed for about three hours. 81 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.199 Two young men had been heard during a street takeover 82 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.279 in Anaheim. A driver apparently lost control Friday and drove 83 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.439 into a crowd of spectators at Orangewood Avenue and State 84 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.839 College Boulevard. The injured nineteen year olds were found on 85 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.680 the ground. Police that the injuries range from broken bones 86 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.240 to abrasions. At least one had broken ribs. Striking Boeing 87 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.000 workers are set to vote whether to accept a new 88 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.759 contract offer or continue their strike, which started in mid September. 89 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.759 The latest contract offer would give workers a thirty eight 90 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.800 percent pay raise over four years. Union members recently rejected 91 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.160 an offer that included a thirty five percent salary bonus 92 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.480 and an earlier thirty percent pay hike. Workers have also 93 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.800 been demanding the restoration of traditional pensions, but the company 94 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.399 says that is not happening. Let's say good morning to 95 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.519 ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, we're in the home stretch 96 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.959 and the candidates between the two of them are making 97 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.079 nine stops today. 98 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.879 So it's busy yusy final day, and it was a 99 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.560 busy weekend out on the campaign trail. The Vice President 100 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.240 was in Georgia and North Carolina on Saturday, then she 101 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.040 was in Michigan all day yesterday. She of course made 102 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.040 that surprise stop in New York City on Saturday night 103 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.000 to appear on Saturday Night Live. And today it's all 104 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.839 about Pennsylvania. She has five different stops in Pennsylvania today, 105 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:03.600 underscoring how important this campaign believes that that state is 106 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.399 right now for her chances of winning. It's her eighteenth 107 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.399 trip to Pennsylvania's and she launched her campaign in late July, 108 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:10.959 and today. 109 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:11.839 She's going to be all over the state. 110 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.879 She starts off with a meeting with volunteers who are 111 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.759 heading out to knock on doors and try to get 112 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.279 people out to vote tomorrow. Then she heads to two 113 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.000 different events aimed at shoring up Latino voters. Her campaign 114 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.120 really sees an opening there and that they've seen movement 115 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.199 among that voting group after those comments by a comedian 116 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.079 last week at the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden. 117 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.480 So they're really trying to lock that in because there's 118 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.560 a sizeable Puerto Rican population in Pennsylvania. Tonight, then two 119 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.639 big concert rallies Pittsburgh, first with Katie Perry and then 120 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.040 finishing the whole campaign season off in Philadelphia at the 121 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.879 Art Museum on those famous steps from the Rocky movie. 122 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:50.920 Remember Rocky ran up the steps. She's going to be 123 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.959 speaking at the top of them. She'll be joined by 124 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.240 Lady Gaga, the Roots, other musical acts and Oprah. 125 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.759 Wimfrey and Rocky. She's still there. 126 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.680 The statue is there. It's not at the top of 127 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.279 the steps, it's kind of off to the side at 128 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:09.120 the bottom. But it's a big tourist destination, no surprise, 129 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.360 and she will be delivering her remarks at the top 130 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.360 of the steps there. They're anticipating a very large crowd 131 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.399 tonight in Philadelphia eclock too. It's a really late rally, 132 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.319 so she's kind of, you know, pushing it to the 133 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.439 edge of the election eve time there. 134 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:26.519 Okay, then on election Day Karen there. Are they not 135 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.879 allowed to make appearances or do they still make more 136 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:29.720 appearances tomorrow? 137 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:31.720 Oh no, she could if she wanted to. I mean 138 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:33.680 nothing right now that we know of on her schedule. 139 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:36.399 She's going back to DC tonight. She'll be in DC tomorrow. 140 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.720 You know, I think she would likely do maybe some 141 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.079 radio interviews. I think you'll see your pop up on 142 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.920 social media, but you know, they also wait for returns 143 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.920 to come in. And Tomorrow night, her election event is 144 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.800 scheduled to take place at Howard University, her alma mater 145 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.439 here in d C. She has strong ties still to 146 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.120 the university. She did her debate prep there before that 147 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.439 September debate against Donald Trump. But we were expecting to 148 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.319 see her at some point tomorrow night as the votes 149 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:01.600 come in. 150 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.240 Okay, I have a question for you. So she's doing 151 00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:09.519 all of her campaign appearances today in Pennsylvania. Trump is 152 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.160 also going to be in Pennsylvania, but then he's hopping 153 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.759 over to Michigan for his last one, and she's choosing 154 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.639 not to go to Michigan today and also canceled something 155 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.240 in Michigan on Saturday Night to go over to Saturday 156 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:24.360 Night Live instead. 157 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.240 No, no, she didn't. She was in Michigan all day yesterday. 158 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.720 She did multiple stops in Michigan. She was just flying 159 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.440 to Michigan. She eventually got there. She was going from 160 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.840 North Carolina on Saturday, flying to Detroit, and they made 161 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.360 the stop in New York City to do Saturday Night 162 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.679 Live and then went on to Detroit. She was always 163 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:42.960 scheduled to start her day yesterday in Detroit. 164 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.600 Okay, so she was canceled. Okay, so she didn't cancel 165 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.080 anything in Michigan. Or she's not avoiding Michigan. She just 166 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.679 did it yesterday and is spinning today in Pennsylvania. 167 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.320 Three plus stops yesterday in Michigan. She spent a whole 168 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.600 day in Michigan yesterday. 169 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.120 I am amazed at both candidates and their team's stamina 170 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.440 for what they're doing. It's just crazy. This just traveling 171 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.440 around and go and stop after stop. So I'm assuming 172 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:06.840 that they're going to get a little bit of sleep 173 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.320 on Wednesday. Maybe I doubt it. 174 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:10.000 I doubt it. 175 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:11.960 The results are going to come in pretty late because 176 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:12.840 the voting I'll take a. 177 00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:15.519 While, so I doubt it. All right, Well, thank you 178 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.840 so much for the update, Karen. We'll be talking to 179 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.039 you again very soon.

A 182 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.840 man has been found dead inside a boat that overturned 183 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.519 off the coast of Redondo Beach. Five people were rescued, 184 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.000 including a child. The overturned boat was reported just after 185 00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.919 one yesterday afternoon, about a mile off shore. The distress 186 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.519 call was made by cell phone to the Redondo Beach 187 00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.679 Harbor Patrol. Five people, including the captain, were found clinging 188 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.840 to the boat. Divers found the missing man who became 189 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:52.279 trapped inside. La Metro has celebrated a new ridership milestone. 190 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.960 Buses and trains across the system saw an average of 191 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.960 one million daily riders in September. It's first time reaching 192 00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.039 that height since before COVID CEO Stephanie Wiggins told the 193 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.039 Metro Board last week the agency strategies are attracting a 194 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:05.279 variety of passengers. 195 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.399 This growth has been powered not only by our regular writers, 196 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:12.639 but by connecting writers to the diverse communities we serve. 197 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.399 Writership was up ten percent on Metro's rail lines in 198 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.440 September compared to a year earlier. Buses saw an increase 199 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.759 of seven percent year over year in downtown La Michael 200 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.080 Monks KFI News. 201 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.759 California has been ranked number four in a report on 202 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:29.320 states that do the best to help people deal with obesity. 203 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.919 The nonprofit organization smile Hub released its report on the 204 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.279 best States for health and Wellness in twenty twenty four. 205 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.240 Smile Hub Business manager Luke Powers's California ranks well because 206 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:40.840 it encourages healthier living. 207 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.639 I think the strong performance in OBEs rate aligns with 208 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:50.600 expectations for a state that prioritizes the active and healthy lifestyle. 209 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.360 Federal health officials say about seventy five percent of adults 210 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.320 in the US are classified as overweight or a beast 211 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.799 seventy five percent. The governor of Oklahoma has declared an 212 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.840 emergency in six counties impacted by tornadoes that hit the 213 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.080 state over the weekend. Governor Kevin sid announced yesterday about 214 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.440 one hundred homes were damaged and about thirty thousand households 215 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:11.240 are without power. 216 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:14.639 We've got more storms coming, so don't rely on don't 217 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.279 rely on the sirens. Make sure you're watching your news 218 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:21.559 and your cell phone's taking cover when you can. 219 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.120 No deaths were reported yesterday, but several people were taken 220 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.159 to hospitals. The governor also announced crews are making sure 221 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.720 polling stations have power for tomorrow's election. 222 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:36.879 Three two one. 223 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:41.960 A six story mural of Dodgers' picture Fernando Valenzuela has 224 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.919 been uncovered in Boil Heights, days after what would have 225 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:49.840 been Fernando Vealezuela's sixty fourth birthday. He died on October nineteenth. 226 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.879 The artist who painted the mural, Robert Vargas, said during 227 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.519 a ceremony yesterday, that the mural is all about representation. 228 00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.559 The Dodgers bought Valenzuela's contract from a team in Mexico 229 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.519 in nineteen seventy nine, and in nineteen eighty one, he 230 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:06.080 helped the team from La win the World Series over 231 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:09.879 the New York Yankees in six games. Balinzuela also pitched 232 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:12.799 for the Angels, the Orioles, the Phillies, the Padres, and 233 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:17.679 the Cardinals before becoming a Dodgers broadcaster. Nearly seven million 234 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.399 voters in California have already cast their ballots ahead of 235 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.879 election Day. That's about thirty percent of the ballots mailed out, 236 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:27.480 but elections officials expect those numbers to go up higher 237 00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:30.679 when ballots cast over the weekend are added in. A 238 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:34.039 magnitude three point three earthquake has rumbled Riverside County. The 239 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.840 US Geological Survey says the quake hit at three twenty 240 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.799 this morning near Lakinta, about seventeen miles southwest of Palm Desert. 241 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:45.519 Beware of bears. Officials say bears near Lake Tahoe are 242 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.320 getting ready to hibernate, so they're eating a lot right now, 243 00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:52.320 up to forty thousand calories a day. That means they'll 244 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.039 likely be snooping through neighborhoods to find food. Officials say 245 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.679 residents should keep trash in garbage carts or bear boxes, 246 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:04.440 pet food inside, and keep outdoor grills clean. I would 247 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.679 have never thought of the outdoor grills, but probably a 248 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:12.559 good idea. Let's stay good morning now too. ABC's Stephen Portnoy, 249 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:17.639 So President Trump is hitting a lot of stops on 250 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.279 his last day before the election. We talked to Karen 251 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:22.679 just a minute ago, so we thought we'd give you 252 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.960 a chance to tell us what the former president is 253 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.240 up to. 254 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:25.840 Well. 255 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:28.639 The former president has four events on this last day 256 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.120 of the campaign. It is a packed schedule. He begins 257 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.919 his day in Raleigh, North Carolina, a state where he's 258 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.039 scheduled four rallies in the final days of the campaign, 259 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.759 A must win state for him. He won it by 260 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.320 a percentage point four years ago and needs to hold 261 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.279 it this time around. So he's got one more rally 262 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.840 in North Carolina on this final day in Raleigh, then 263 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:52.679 two stops in Pennsylvania, another must win state. He begins 264 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.639 in Reading and then travels west to Pittsburgh, and then 265 00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:00.720 finally he caps off this cycle, this candidacy with an 266 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.720 event in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which happens to be the 267 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.559 same city where he ended his twenty sixteen and twenty 268 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.080 twenty campaigns for the presidency. So it's something of a 269 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:10.240 Trump campaign tradition. 270 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.320 And he won Michigan in twenty sixteen, that lost it 271 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:15.080 in twenty twenty, right correct. 272 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.519 In fact, the margin for Trump in twenty sixteen was 273 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.559 just ten seven hundred votes, but it was significantly larger 274 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:25.360 for Biden in twenty twenty one hundred and fifty four thousand, 275 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.159 so practically a factor of I guess a factor of 276 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:32.360 ten there. And ultimately, in the end, Biden won that 277 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.279 state with nearly three percentage points. And so Trump really 278 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.879 wants to win that back for the Republicans. We'll see 279 00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:39.480 if he can do it. 280 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.399 I have a question for you. He's been at rally 281 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.440 after rally after rally, and Harris is doing it too. 282 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:50.360 At this point, what is the point of the rallies 283 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.799 Because the people who are attending these rallies are probably 284 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:58.360 already supporting the rally the candidate for the rally they're attending. 285 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:02.039 At this point. It's a about base motivating, it's about 286 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.559 reminding people to get out to vote if they haven't already. 287 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:08.960 It's about the positive presuming it is media attention, particularly 288 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:13.320 in local markets that a rally can produce, and it's 289 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.720 about being a physical presence. It's about demonstrating to the country, 290 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.519 to your supporters from coast to coast, that you're in 291 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:22.240 this to win it, and that you're working hard until 292 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.559 the very last. Historically, these rallies have been helpful to 293 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.720 each of these campaigns because they've been able to, through 294 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:32.840 their registering for them, collect data on voters. And so 295 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:34.679 you know, when you sign up to attend a rally, 296 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.000 they capture your phone number and your email address, and 297 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.120 they can use that data to bombard you with messages 298 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.279 and then layer it over, perhaps with a voter file 299 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.679 that then can track whether you have voted. And it's 300 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.159 helpful for the campaigns to hold these events just as 301 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.879 ways of capturing people's personal information, which sounds pernicious, but 302 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:55.320 it's kind of sort of the way that campaigns are conducted. 303 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.919 These days, it's all about collecting data to pound you 304 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.519 over the head with these messages of hurry up and 305 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.519 vote and send money and tell your relatives and friends 306 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:04.120 to do the same. 307 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.679 I would imagine people in swing states have got to 308 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.879 be absolutely exhausted because we're inundated with the with the 309 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.840 ads here and we're not a swing state, so we're 310 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.519 not seeing any while. We're seeing some Trump Kamala, but 311 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.159 we're not seeing a ton. 312 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:23.360 Yeah. I mean, look, I think you know, we as 313 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.600 a country have this collective problem every couple of years 314 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:29.600 where we are just exhausted by the end of these 315 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.240 campaigns and they never really do seem to end. And 316 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.519 there are times where we look at overseas and we say, man, 317 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:36.879 they seem to have it right, where they have just 318 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.559 very very tight and narrow windows and strict controls on 319 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:42.919 how these campaigns are run and even on how public 320 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.879 opinion surveys are used by journalists in the final days. 321 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:49.399 I don't subscribe to much of that, but I think 322 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.919 the bottom line is that there, you know, we just 323 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.000 happen to live in a society where we're perpetually engaged 324 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.759 in this idea of self government, and it wasn't exactly 325 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.399 the intent of the founders, perhaps, but it is where 326 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.680 we are today, and it's an opportunity, whether it's the 327 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.200 hot district attorney race in Los Angeles County, or the 328 00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:14.039 Senate race in the state of California, or the national 329 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.960 vote and the whole question of the presidency. Really interesting 330 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.880 to me yesterday how Kamala Harris didn't want to answer 331 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.680 how she would vote. I believe it's on Prop. Thirty six. 332 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.400 She'd I saw that, yeah, and so she said she's 333 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:28.680 castor ballot. She sent it to California. But when they 334 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:30.559 asked how she would vote on it, of course, this 335 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.680 is the one that repeals part of Prop. Forty seven, 336 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.880 which made a lot of felonies into misdemeanors, she wouldn't say. 337 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:41.880 Right, And so it matters. Every vote matters, and it's 338 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:44.720 I guess I'm talking myself in circles here, but the 339 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.279 bottom line is gotta go and vote, folks. 340 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.960 Aren't you excited for tomorrow? 341 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:51.640 Can't wait? 342 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:54.759 Actually it's not even tomorrow because it's not going to 343 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:56.440 be decided tomorrow most likely. 344 00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.400 And that's the thing. You know, our partners at five 345 00:17:58.400 --> 00:17:59.880 point thirty eight, who are just you know, these data 346 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.359 have done this great chart where you can sort of 347 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.680 track hour by hour and see what the expected vote 348 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.079 county is in each of the states. In California, I 349 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.680 don't know what it is with you guys, but you 350 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:12.079 lag behind the rest of the country, and so, you 351 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:14.240 know what, it's a lot of us. Well, sure, I 352 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.440 understand respect that, Thank goodness for it. But it's this 353 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.440 whole idea of how to count all these ballots and 354 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:21.119 report the results for the rest of the country. We 355 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:22.759 may not know the makeup, for example, the House of 356 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.640 Representatives for a long time because of the contested races 357 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:28.720 in the Golden State and how long it'll take for 358 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:30.880 all those ballots to be counted and reported out. So 359 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:32.519 I guess we'll all just have to wait and see. 360 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.640 Okay, I have another question for you, because you just 361 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:39.839 mentioned the House. We're getting the polling that is showing 362 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:45.480 the presidential race is just so tight. Are they showing 363 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.519 that the House and the Senate races are that tight too, 364 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:50.799 or is it really just the presidential thing that's neck 365 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:51.119 and neck. 366 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:54.319 On a national level, we have survey data that looks 367 00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:56.440 at what we call the generic ballot. We put the 368 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:58.519 question to voters across the country, who would you like 369 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:00.960 to see in control of Congress? Which has often been 370 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:04.000 a predictor of the outcome. Well, guess what our five 371 00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:06.799 thirty eight polling average is this morning of this question, 372 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.519 with about a half point in favor of the Democrats, 373 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:12.880 which is obviously within the margin of error, and it 374 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:15.759 indicates that we cannot predict how it's going to go. 375 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.880 Earlier in this cycle, the Democrats enjoyed a lead, in 376 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.680 a narrow lead, in that generic ballot. For example, in September, 377 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.799 it was about two percentage points in favor of the Democrats. 378 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.519 Now it's zero point six percent in favor of the Democrats. 379 00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:30.599 It's a tie, and that means that that razor thin 380 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:35.240 majority the Republicans could wind up being the same smaller 381 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:39.160 or an equally small majority for the Democrats. 382 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.680 We do not know, okay, but we will be watching 383 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.400 and we will talk to you again very soon.

You 385 00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:48.599 bet all right, let's get back to some of the 386 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:50.920 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 387 00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:55.079 Three crew members are injured after an LA County fire 388 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:58.279 truck flipped over.
