Speaker 1: at the Olympics, what happened over the weekend, and what's
Speaker 1: in store for today with ABC's nez De La Katera.
Speaker 1: That's coming up in about fifteen minutes. And in just
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, we're going to be talking with
Speaker 1: ABC's and Flaherty as things continue to heat up in
Speaker 1: the Middle East. At six oh five, it's Handle on
Speaker 1: the news. The veepsteaks are on, with a decision expected
Speaker 1: by tomorrow. Let's get started with some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty five four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: A police chase that involved two cars, speeds over one
Speaker 1: hundred miles per hour on the freeway and a head
Speaker 1: on crash in South LA has ended in North Long Beach.
Speaker 1: The pursuit last night lasted about two hours. Police for
Speaker 1: chasing a black car that had the wrong plate. The
Speaker 1: driver eventually got out and got into the back of
Speaker 1: a white Lexus that's the car that crashed, and one
Speaker 1: person was seen running away. The driver kept going and
Speaker 1: was later arrested in Long Beach. That explains why I
Speaker 1: got a text from Tim Conway June. Your last night.
Speaker 1: He's like crash on Channel nine. He loves his police chases.
Speaker 1: The La Keady Sheriff's Homicide Bureau has had a very
Speaker 1: busy weekend.
Speaker 6: Investigator say there were at least four murders and one
Speaker 6: deputy involved shooting. On Saturday night, a man in Carson
Speaker 6: was found shot to death following a drive by shooting.
Speaker 6: Witnesses said they heard multiple gunshots. Also Saturday night, a
Speaker 6: man was found shot to death following a car collision
Speaker 6: at the intersection of Bentley and Greenleaf and Compton. Four
Speaker 6: other guys in the car were injured. Early Sunday morning,
Speaker 6: a man was found shot to death laying between two
Speaker 6: parked cars on Rowan Street. And also early yesterday morning,
Speaker 6: investigators say a woman was shot to death by her
Speaker 6: boyfriend in Lancaster. He then tried to shoot himself. He's
Speaker 6: in critical condition. Steve Gregor, King of Fine News, the.
Speaker 1: US, UK and other governments have urged their citizens to
Speaker 1: leave Lebanon because of a possible war between Israel and Hezbola.
Speaker 1: A Hesbolah commander was killed in an Israeli strike in
Speaker 1: be Route last week. Israel or Iran rather blames Israel
Speaker 1: for the assassination of a Hamas leader in Tehran. Iran
Speaker 1: has vowed severe retaliation. The US and other Western countries
Speaker 1: have been trying to de escalate tensions across the region.
Speaker 5: Again.
Speaker 1: We're going to be talking with ABC's and Flirty in
Speaker 1: just a minute. As the heat increases in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: Hurricane Debbie has made landfall. ABC's Andrew Dimbert says the
Speaker 1: storm has already caused some flooding and power outages in
Speaker 1: the Tampa area.
Speaker 2: Grain totals could reach a foot or more along Florida's
Speaker 2: Gulf Coast, where Debbie could produce six to ten feet
Speaker 2: of storm surge.
Speaker 1: He says. Forecasters are predicting Debbie will make landfall around
Speaker 1: midday today, but it got in a little bit early
Speaker 1: and actually made landfall this morning. Georgia and South Carolina
Speaker 1: could also see flooding from the storm. Up to thirty
Speaker 1: inches of rain is possible in some areas. Let's say
Speaker 1: good morning now to ABC's and Flaherty, our Pentagon specialist.
Speaker 1: And Iran has threatened revenge for the assassination of a
Speaker 1: tap Helamas leader in Tehran last week. What is the
Speaker 1: US doing to help get ready for whatever is coming.
Speaker 7: What we heard from the Deputy National Security Advisor yesterday,
Speaker 7: John Seiner, saying, we're preparing for every possibility. We're not
Speaker 7: going to give too many details because it wouldn't be
Speaker 7: in our best interests. But of course you have to
Speaker 7: imagine what they're doing behind the scenes is scrambling to
Speaker 7: create that diplomatic coalition. We saw last April when Iran
Speaker 7: launched about three hundred and fifty attack drones and missiles
Speaker 7: at Israel. It was the US, UK other allies that
Speaker 7: helped to intercept them. And we know that the US
Speaker 7: is delivering the message the region that look, it's not
Speaker 7: in anyone's interest to have a wider regional war. So
Speaker 7: you know, we saw people like Jordan's foreign minister flew
Speaker 7: to Tehran. This is the first official visit to Iran
Speaker 7: in some twenty years to the Islamic Republic. So really
Speaker 7: an unprecedented situation, and you're seeing, you know, Tony Blinkin
Speaker 7: talking to G seven partners saying this is a very
Speaker 7: urgent situation.
Speaker 1: Well, and we were discussing last week that it's like
Speaker 1: how do you de escalate because Iran feels like it
Speaker 1: was attacked, Israel feels like it was attacked and they
Speaker 1: tend to strike back and forth as like it's sort
Speaker 1: of an eye for an eye thing. So who who says, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to strike back. You know, how do
Speaker 1: you yeah, negotiate that.
Speaker 7: What's interesting is there were actually two assassinations in a
Speaker 7: matter of hours last week, which it was unprecedented. I'd
Speaker 7: never seen this before. But you had to hitpule a
Speaker 7: senior commander in the root. And if we acknowledged that,
Speaker 7: they said that they fired that missile in direct retaliation
Speaker 7: for Hasbulat killing twelve children playing football and the goal
Speaker 7: in hypes. Now the senior Hamas leader, this was a
Speaker 7: bomb that appeared to be smuggled into Tehran into his
Speaker 7: guest house in Tehran. He was one of the Hamas
Speaker 7: leaders negotiating the hostages that release and the ceasefire, and
Speaker 7: that we don't know when that bomb may have been
Speaker 7: smuggled into that guest house. Israel hasn't confirmed or denied it.
Speaker 7: That could give a roun some mobility to scale back
Speaker 7: their attack and say, you know, we just don't know
Speaker 7: how they're going to respond to that. So you know,
Speaker 7: the US, of course, they they're not they weren't aware
Speaker 7: of this attack. They Biden spoke with net Now afterwards,
Speaker 7: saying that he needs to move towards the ceasefire, obviously
Speaker 7: complicated by the killing of this Hamas leader. But you know,
Speaker 7: of course, the US just delivering that message over and
Speaker 7: over again. It's not in your best interest to keep retaliating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then because Israel hasn't claimed responsibility, like you said,
Speaker 1: it might be kind of an out or an option
Speaker 1: not to directly retaliate, but they but Iran is saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're retaliating, and it's going to be pretty bad because
Speaker 1: we went or not we because Israel went and directly
Speaker 1: attacked somebody in Iran, which they really haven't done before.
Speaker 1: Does that open the door for then Iran to go
Speaker 1: after Israeli cities.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we have heard that the Iranian government has directly
Speaker 7: blamed Israel but also the United States for that attack,
Speaker 7: and they say that they've called this state of national
Speaker 7: mourning for three days that ends today. And you know,
Speaker 7: of course everybody is nervous that Iran is going to
Speaker 7: directly attack Israel. We're also nervous that Iran will directly
Speaker 7: attack US forces in the region. There are tons of
Speaker 7: thousands of forces in the region. So we know that
Speaker 7: the Pentagon has sent additional navy cruisers and destroyers which
Speaker 7: can shoot down these fallistic missiles in the Middle East,
Speaker 7: and has also sent them to Europe. It's been sending
Speaker 7: an additional squadron of fighter jets to the Middle East
Speaker 7: preparing for that possibility that US troops could be under attack.
Speaker 7: So really, we know that President Biden is going to
Speaker 7: huddle with his national security team in the situation room
Speaker 7: today about two pm. This will follow a phone call
Speaker 7: he's going to have with King Abdullah of Jordan around
Speaker 7: eleven am Eastern times. So we know that there is
Speaker 7: a lot of movement, a lot of concern, and it's
Speaker 7: what happens next, is anyone's guests?
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, and we'll be watching it. ABC's and
Speaker 1: Flaherty thank you so much for the information this morning.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Cooling
Speaker 1: centers have been opened in La as temperatures across southern
Speaker 1: California hit the upper nineties and triple digits. Extreme heat
Speaker 1: is expected for the LA area through at least tomorrow,
Speaker 1: with some areas getting up to one five, maybe even
Speaker 1: one ten. Temperatures in part of Riverside County have already
Speaker 1: topped one ten. Palm Springs is expected to hit one
Speaker 1: sixteen today in excessive heat warning US up until at
Speaker 1: least eleven pm tomorrow. Ellie Kenny Sheriff's deputies have fatally
Speaker 1: shot a man in Paramount. The deputies had responded to
Speaker 1: a family dispute last night on Quimby Street near Downey Avenue.
Speaker 1: Deputies spoke with a family, but it's not clear what
Speaker 1: led to the shooting. Two LAPD officers have sued the
Speaker 1: city of La claiming they were taken off an elite
Speaker 1: federal task force in retaliation for complaining that then Chief
Speaker 1: Michael Moore was working to put black officers on new
Speaker 1: Mayor Karen Bass's detail and not only recruiting the best
Speaker 1: officers for the job. One of the officers who filed
Speaker 1: the lawsuit is black. The suit claims that Chief Moore
Speaker 1: was just pandering to the new mayor. The suit says
Speaker 1: that Mayor Bass was not aware of this activity. A
Speaker 1: judge in Washington, d c. Has denied former President Trump's
Speaker 1: motion to dismiss the federal election interference case brought by
Speaker 1: Special Council Jack Smith. Trump's lawyers filed the motion last
Speaker 1: month after the Supreme Court ruled that presidents are immune
Speaker 1: from prosecution while carrying out official acts. The judge will
Speaker 1: now have to decide if Trump can be prosecuted for
Speaker 1: his alleged efforts to overturn the outcome of the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty election. Another hearing is set for August sixteenth. UK
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned an attack on a
Speaker 1: hotel housing asylum seekers in the north of England following
Speaker 1: a stabbing attack that killed three children. This is not protest.
Speaker 1: It is organized, violent thuggery and it has no place
Speaker 1: on our streets or online. Fully struggled to hold back
Speaker 1: a mob of far right rioters over the weekend who
Speaker 1: tried to break into the hotel. They smashed windows and
Speaker 1: tried to set a fire inside. Protesters also through chairs
Speaker 1: and other objects that officers injuring at least ten of them.
Speaker 1: Nearly one hundred and fifty people were arrested over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Somebody at the Orange County Fair has won a million
Speaker 1: dollars with a lottery scratch off ticket. Lotto officials announced
Speaker 1: it on Friday. The person who bought the ticket at
Speaker 1: the California Lottery Live booth apparently went back to the
Speaker 1: window to see if they had really won. The winner
Speaker 1: can claim the prize by going to one of nine
Speaker 1: lottery offices in the state or by mail. Maybe you
Speaker 1: need to win the lottery if you're going to throw
Speaker 1: your kid a birthday party. I was reading this story
Speaker 1: that the cost of a child's birthday party is now
Speaker 1: averaging three hundred fourteen dollars three hundred and fourteen dollars.
Speaker 1: A factor driving the pricey parties is a party theme
Speaker 1: based on a child's latest obsession, whether it's bluey or
Speaker 1: paw Patrol or something else. But apparently that can rack
Speaker 1: up the prices. And USA Today had in a statement
Speaker 1: that they've noticed a clear trend toward birthday parties or
Speaker 1: children becoming bigger and more elaborate. The younger the kid,
Speaker 1: the less expensive the celebration. I say, you know what,
Speaker 1: when they're one or two, and I'm not a parent,
Speaker 1: I understand you want to celebrate, but when they're like
Speaker 1: one years old, they're not going to remember it. Nobody's
Speaker 1: going to know this. Get them a cake, they'll be fine.
Speaker 1: Although in southern California, I bet this trend is I
Speaker 1: bet if they just did this in California, it'd be
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot higher because you've seen this stuff
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills where they bring in snow and they've
Speaker 1: got bounce houses and they have everything catered. So three
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen dollars on average for your kid's birthday party,
Speaker 1: if you just make a cake, it's less than five dollars.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. The largest fire in the US has
Speaker 1: burned through more than four hundred and one thousand acres.
Speaker 1: His fire crews battle the flames in extreme only hot,
Speaker 1: dry conditions in northern California. The fire that has destroyed
Speaker 1: more than five hundred and sixty homes and buildings, is
Speaker 1: thirty one percent surrounded. A second San Diego based aircraft
Speaker 1: carrier is headed to the Middle East as tensions increase
Speaker 1: between Israel and Iran. The Pentagon says the USS Abraham
Speaker 1: Lincoln is making its way to the Middle East with
Speaker 1: F thirty five C stealth jets on board. San Diego
Speaker 1: based USS. Theodore Roosevelt has been deployed to the Gulf
Speaker 1: of Oman since January. The Wildlife crossing over the one
Speaker 1: on one Freeway and a Gore Hills is one step
Speaker 1: closer to completion. The deck has now been fully laid
Speaker 1: down and crews are going to start work on the
Speaker 1: side walls. The wildlife crossing spans ten lanes of the freeway,
Speaker 1: making it one of the largest of its kind in
Speaker 1: the world. It's expected to be complete by late next
Speaker 1: year or early twenty twenty six. At six oh five,
Speaker 1: it's handle on the news. Stock markets took a tumble
Speaker 1: on Friday and things are not looking much better for today.
Speaker 1: Let's say good good morning now to ABC's Inez de
Speaker 1: Laktera in Paris, bonjorinz Bohoo.
Speaker 8: You are, says intro.
Speaker 1: I love it, I love your enthusiasm. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about it was a heck of a weekend for Team USA.
Speaker 1: They're just racking up the medals.
Speaker 4: It was a crazy weekend. I think it was some
Speaker 4: of the the i mean, most intense competitions we've seen
Speaker 4: to date in these Paris twenty twenty four games. So
Speaker 4: we had we had some swimming, we had Katie Ledecki
Speaker 4: competing in her last race of these Games, the eight
Speaker 4: hundred meter freestyle. I got to go to that. That
Speaker 4: was incredible. She of course won the gold, so adding
Speaker 4: to her collection with fourteen medals. Now we had a
Speaker 4: bunch more swimming events that we had Bobby Fink last
Speaker 4: night winning the gold in the fifteen hundred meter freestyle.
Speaker 4: He set the new world record. You had the women
Speaker 4: in the four by one hundred medley relay. They also
Speaker 4: smashed the world record and beat the competition by five seconds.
Speaker 9: It wasn't even close.
Speaker 4: Just so many different events. Track and field is another
Speaker 4: big one. As swimming wraps up, you've got athletics getting underway,
Speaker 4: and so track and field is a big part of that.
Speaker 4: And you had to Carrie Richardson winning the silver in
Speaker 4: the one hundred meter dash. She was kind of stunned
Speaker 4: there by the athlete from Saint Lucia. And Noah Lyle's
Speaker 4: another big name on Team USA, also winning his first
Speaker 4: gold medal in the same event on the men's side,
Speaker 4: So the men's one hundred meter final, he becomes the
Speaker 4: fastest man in the world and it is the first
Speaker 4: time in twenty years that an American has won that event.
Speaker 1: I love that I was watching the one with Shakiri
Speaker 1: and was expecting her to take gold. The man, that
Speaker 1: Saint Lucia woman, she just went exploded.
Speaker 7: It was crazy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean to Carrie, you know, I mean,
Speaker 4: the silver is still incredible. There was certainly she was
Speaker 4: favored to win the gold. But it's her, you know,
Speaker 4: I'll say, at their first Olympic. So she's just getting
Speaker 4: started and we are seeing her again on Thursday. He
Speaker 4: still has a good chance of winning that event.
Speaker 1: The other one I thought was really fun that I
Speaker 1: hadn't I don't think I've seen before, was I don't
Speaker 1: know what it's even called the four by relay, but
Speaker 1: it's like the mixed one where it's got two men
Speaker 1: and two women on the team, and.
Speaker 4: I just that's right. Yeah, that's another interesting one. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: the medley relay.
Speaker 1: The medley relay. Yeah. So I've really enjoyed the track.
Speaker 1: I tend to like the swimming and the gymnastics better,
Speaker 1: but have really enjoyed the track. I just think there's
Speaker 1: this kind of cool energy about it. And then also
Speaker 1: on track, we have a gold in the shot put.
Speaker 1: That guy from is from Boring, Oregon, which is my
Speaker 1: home State. Is that four in a row for him?
Speaker 4: That's right, Yeah, he's incredible. So you know, Ryan Krauser
Speaker 4: is his name, and yeah it's unpresident and his a
Speaker 4: third a third straight shot put gold medal. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean, we have so many challeented athletes us me
Speaker 4: to say, I think, especially on the athletic side, and
Speaker 4: it's moving so fast. There's so many different events, and
Speaker 4: that's gonna be what we're watching really all week. It's
Speaker 4: going to be more athletics, more races, Swimming wrapping up,
Speaker 4: gymnastics wrapping up today. I know you're a big fan
Speaker 4: of that. Some disappointing news on the gymnastics side buriler alert.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so I don't know if you had an chance
Speaker 10: to see it, but yeah, so Simone Bios and Sunny
Speaker 10: Lee were performing in the it was the beam final today.
Speaker 10: They've got the floor final later on and they both
Speaker 10: fell off the beam, so a bit of a bloomer
Speaker 10: and neither one made the podium.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they're probably tired. They've been racking up the medal.
Speaker 4: Simon has three gold medals. Soon you want to bronze
Speaker 4: over the weekend. Abroads in the individual all around, so
Speaker 4: they might just be a little tired, so they're fine.
Speaker 4: They'll be taking themselves on floor later later this afternoon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they get a pass. They've been spectacular.
Speaker 1: Any huge surprises.
Speaker 7: I think.
Speaker 4: I think the gymnastics this morning was a bit of
Speaker 4: a surprise, but at the same time I feel bad
Speaker 4: thing that we put so much pressure on these on
Speaker 4: these women and they're absolutely killing it. Beyond that note,
Speaker 4: I mean, I think you know, there was there was
Speaker 4: the Shikiri coming in second was a bit of a surprise,
Speaker 4: but again high hopes for her for later in the week.
Speaker 4: And something else that we were watching was the everything
Speaker 4: going on with the Sen river. So they did have
Speaker 4: the uh the triathlon relay, the mixed triathlon relay this morning,
Speaker 4: even though there have been concerns about the water quality.
Speaker 4: There were two athletes that had to withdraw from the
Speaker 4: race citing illnesses, so the Belgian athlete unclear with what
Speaker 4: they had, and then the with athlete who says he
Speaker 4: had a stomach confection, and both of them competed in
Speaker 4: the individual triathlon. So it's unclear if those things they're linked.
Speaker 4: But they did swim in the sen earlier, you know,
Speaker 4: last week and so, yeah, concerns for some of the athletes.
Speaker 9: Help.
Speaker 1: I understand them wanting to do that because it's the
Speaker 1: Sene River and isn't it historic to swim in it.
Speaker 1: But if it's that dirty, why didn't they just just
Speaker 1: like say, here, let's just look at the sin and
Speaker 1: go swim somewhere else.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, absolutely, And we even had so you know, they
Speaker 4: did go ahead with a mixed treason relay this morning
Speaker 4: and tis they did well. We did win a silver
Speaker 4: in that, so Morgan Pearson won one a silver in that.
Speaker 4: But he spoke out this morning and he was saying
Speaker 4: just the currents were crazy. It's not just water quality,
Speaker 4: just the river itself has very strong currents and that
Speaker 4: that made it especially challenging.
Speaker 7: But they're not used to that either, So that's another
Speaker 7: part of this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and then before we let you go, what's
Speaker 1: the metal count?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we interesting the metal count. We were doing
Speaker 4: so well. I mean, we're still doing incredibly well. There
Speaker 4: was a point yesterday where we were in the league,
Speaker 4: we were tying China for nineteen gold medals with we
Speaker 4: had seventy one last night, so leaving in the total
Speaker 4: metal count, we did so China won two more medals
Speaker 4: this morning, so they're ahead in the in the gold
Speaker 4: medal tally now, but we are still leading in the
Speaker 4: total metal count. We have seventy two as of this morning.
Speaker 1: Totally count well and lots more games to go. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much and as we'll talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Can't wait.
Speaker 9: Thank you all right.
Speaker 1: I can't believe that spoiler alert about Simone, but you
Speaker 1: know what, Wow, she's just wow. And like I said,
Speaker 1: she gets a pass like she's so spectacular. Can't wait
Speaker 1: to watch her on floor. Police have released surveillance images

Speaker 2: He says the takeovers when drivers meet up at a
Speaker 2: specific intersection in block traffic and street racing are growing
Speaker 2: concerns for his constituents, and since the state hasn't yet

Speaker 1: just another coffee shop. Really inspiring, great story, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna want to miss it. One of the top films
Speaker 1: this summer featured someone you never saw on screen, but
Speaker 1: as our very own Steve Gregory found out, you definitely heard.
Speaker 6: If he didn't know him you'd never think he was
Speaker 6: the guy behind the music for some of the biggest
Speaker 6: films in Hollywood, including Bad Boys, Ride or Die. Lauren
Speaker 6: balf stands tall and has a big presence. He's got
Speaker 6: silver hair, it's slipped back and when he walks in
Speaker 6: the room lights up. He's jovial, laid back and creates
Speaker 6: a fun working environment. I was invited to one of
Speaker 6: the scoring sessions for Bad Boys inside the famous Newman
Speaker 6: scoring stage on the Fox Studios lot. That's the same
Speaker 6: stage where the music was recorded for Star Trek, the
Speaker 6: motion picture Pirates of the Caribbean, The Sound of Music,
Speaker 6: and Jaws. This was a rare night time, four hour
Speaker 6: recording session. The first downbeat started at seven pm sharp.
Speaker 6: The studio orchestra includes some of the most talented musicians
Speaker 6: in the world. They don't rehearse like traditional orchestras. Instead,
Speaker 6: they sight read in a rapid fire of one piece
Speaker 6: of sheet music after another. The large soundstage includes the
Speaker 6: controlled booth where the composer listens to the performance along
Speaker 6: with the director, producer, editor, sound engineers, VIPs and others.
Speaker 6: Large soundproof glass separates the people in the booth from
Speaker 6: the musicians.
Speaker 9: Bross please thank you staying the bras.
Speaker 6: Lauren stops the orchestra when he hears something he wants
Speaker 6: to change, or when the director producer chimes.
Speaker 11: In after Bob, Bob, a big accent on each note,
Speaker 11: but have a comma after each one.
Speaker 6: Can you take, for instance, this music cue. It was
Speaker 6: being recorded to match a scene in the film. Here's
Speaker 6: how it sounded while I was standing on the soundstage.
Speaker 6: That's the string section. Now they added the brass and woodwinds,
Speaker 6: and finally with additional audio mixing and sound effects. Here's
Speaker 6: how it sounded on the film Bad Boys. Director A. D. L.
Speaker 6: L RB was excited to hear the score come together.
Speaker 6: The film had been on hold because of the pandemic.
Speaker 6: He says he loves movie scores.
Speaker 12: This is one of my favorite parts of the filmmaking process.
Speaker 12: In fact, if I was not a film director, I
Speaker 12: probably would have been a film composer.
Speaker 6: Talk about working with Lauren.
Speaker 12: Lauren is really a fantastic guy. I think you know.
Speaker 12: I mean when you listen to his coorse, the epic
Speaker 12: movies that he did, Michael Bay movies, but also like
Speaker 12: the second season of the Crown and it's also called
Speaker 12: do you see all these video games. It's a blessing.
Speaker 12: And he's such a sweet guy and so talented, so
Speaker 12: it's a it's a big honor and privilege.
Speaker 1: Are we going here?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 6: In a very rare moment, a Deal and Lauren decided
Speaker 6: they wanted their voices on the score. So when the
Speaker 6: musicians took a break, those two walked onto the soundstage.
Speaker 11: You know what, this made this much easier.
Speaker 5: Can we just keep the clicks?
Speaker 6: Can we just leave the clicks?
Speaker 11: How we'll just do it every four times?
Speaker 6: I was really trying to figure out how these grunts
Speaker 6: were going to fit into the score, but then I
Speaker 6: heard it in the opening theme of the movie. By
Speaker 6: the way, they grunted thirty nine times before getting the
Speaker 6: right one. As the late night recording session wrapped up,
Speaker 6: Lorn and a Deal seemed happy and signed with the results.
Speaker 6: In fact, Lauren's been given hugs to the musicians.
Speaker 11: I started coming here twenty years ago, probably yeah, okay,
Speaker 11: so so yeah, you know, it's like the London musicians
Speaker 11: played at my wedding and I've known them for twenty
Speaker 11: five years.
Speaker 5: It would be nice, so I paid them.
Speaker 11: Out of curse, you know. So so now you get
Speaker 11: to you know, they become part of your family after
Speaker 11: a while. When you're here all the time.
Speaker 6: Listening to everything that you did tonight in the order
Speaker 6: you did it. How do you feel it's going to
Speaker 6: fit together with the with the pictures.
Speaker 12: Well, it's it's going to elevate everything so much more.
Speaker 12: You know, we're always looking for that goozbam moment, and
Speaker 12: the music really delivers on that front. So yeah, I
Speaker 12: just got wait to finally have everything nice Nice finished.
Speaker 6: The full score is available for download per wake Up Call.
Speaker 6: I'm Steve Gregory k if I News.
Speaker 1: Love that. How fun is that? It's so fun to
Speaker 1: go behind the scenes and see how things come together,
Speaker 1: because I know when you like, we just went to
Speaker 1: a movie last week and you just sit back and
Speaker 1: you relax and you enjoy it and you don't even
Speaker 1: necessarily think about the music because it's just part of
Speaker 1: the whole experience. So it's kind of fun to just
Speaker 1: take that piece out of it and see what goes
Speaker 1: into it. Thank you, Steve. Let's get back to some
Speaker 1: of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four

Speaker 1: let's say good morning now to Jose Ariano and Mike Delarocha,
Speaker 1: the co founders of Toeppedo Coffee. And if you're wondering
Speaker 1: what that is, it's an award winning coffee company that
Speaker 1: builds bridges between Mexico and the US. They say, one origin,
Speaker 1: one person, one coffee. At a time. Good morning Jose
Speaker 1: and Mike, thanks for joining us this morning on Wake
Speaker 1: Up Call.
Speaker 5: Good morning.
Speaker 1: He So, tell us a little bit about what, first
Speaker 1: of all, tell us about Torpedo Coffee and what makes
Speaker 1: it different because there are coffee shops all over southern California,
Speaker 1: but yours is unique.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think, well, first off, thank you so
Speaker 5: much for having this on your show. I think what's
Speaker 5: really unique is all of our coffee is single source
Speaker 5: that comes from this beautiful generational farm Embta Cruse, Mexicill
Speaker 5: so single source coffee. But more than anything, I just
Speaker 5: think it's the love and the purpose that we put
Speaker 5: into the coffee. We talk to our farmers every week,
Speaker 5: and when we say every couple of coffee helps our farmers,
Speaker 5: that's true. But it's also every couple of coffee helps
Speaker 5: those of us that have been impacted by the mass
Speaker 5: incarceration prison industrial system. And so we're also connected to
Speaker 5: homeboy industry, so we're able to provide jobs for formerly
Speaker 5: incarcerated individuals. And really like leaning into the fact that
Speaker 5: most of the world's coffee, the greatest coffee, I would
Speaker 5: probably argue, comes from Latin America or Africa and so
Speaker 5: we want to celebrate the cultural richness of our ancester
Speaker 5: homeland of Mexico.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you said definitely, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say the other part of it,
Speaker 3: and and why giving like people opportunity is so important and.
Speaker 9: You could taste it in the product is because it's
Speaker 9: made with love. And so when you when when.
Speaker 3: Mike's mentioning like that marginalized population, also the farmers too
Speaker 3: in Mexico, because our you know, as Michael was saying,
Speaker 3: it comes directly from Vetta Cruz, straight from Veta Cruz,
Speaker 3: straight to the shop in Pasadena.
Speaker 9: And uh, and.
Speaker 3: It's made love out there, you know, the intention behind
Speaker 3: the way that it's grown, harvested and roasted.
Speaker 9: It's just the intention is just like you.
Speaker 8: Know, our farmer Carlos just pours.
Speaker 9: War the love into the copy from the exception of it.
Speaker 9: And then when it gets over here, the people that
Speaker 9: we've given opportunity to that some of them it's their
Speaker 9: first you know, it's their first opportunity.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 9: Some of them never thought they'd be a barista. And
Speaker 9: when they're given the oppertually they're so grateful for it.
Speaker 9: It's like they pour forth so much love into the coffee.
Speaker 9: It's just you know, for me, it's just, uh, it's
Speaker 9: just wonderful to watch you know how people, when given
Speaker 9: the opportunity, will really, uh really pour forth so much
Speaker 9: love and care and and great intention into their into
Speaker 9: the into the work.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, And guys, you just recently, I believe, just recently
Speaker 1: partnered up with Homeboy Industries. What does that mean for you?
Speaker 11: Guys?
Speaker 9: Oh, yes, that means that means so much, I would
Speaker 9: say too. Well, so'm I was a former trainee and
Speaker 9: on Boy Industries eleven years ago, and uh I was
Speaker 9: able to work my way up the ranks to vice
Speaker 9: president and uh it goes back to opportunity.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 9: Father Gray, you know, gave me an opportunity, and I
Speaker 9: took that opportunity and I ran with it and and
Speaker 9: and I'm just so honored, uh that I get to
Speaker 9: do what I do and for us that people wanted
Speaker 9: to create something similar, uh similar yet different, you know
Speaker 9: we were We are now in a position where a
Speaker 9: Homeboy Industry is behind us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you too, can you tell us a little
Speaker 1: bit more? Because Homeboy Industries is helping people who were
Speaker 1: in gangs and in prisons. Uh, you know, get an
Speaker 1: opportunity like you just talked about, So you kind of
Speaker 1: you worked your way up and then took that and
Speaker 1: now you're basically spreading it on and making more opportunities
Speaker 1: for more people. So that's that's going to make you
Speaker 1: feel good.
Speaker 9: Oh, it's great.
Speaker 3: I remember early on years years, you know, my my
Speaker 3: first days at homeboy, my first month, I ran into
Speaker 3: a home meeting and he said to me, and I
Speaker 3: didn't understand it at the time. He said to me,
Speaker 3: he said, you only keep what you have by giving
Speaker 3: it away homely and I didn't understand what that lands
Speaker 3: because I didn't have.
Speaker 9: I didn't have much at the time, and I'm like,
Speaker 9: damn giving it away, Like you know, I need I
Speaker 9: need a same day, you know, I need to keep
Speaker 9: everything I got.
Speaker 3: And now, being where we're at as a company, I
Speaker 3: understand what he meant by that, you know, giving away information,
Speaker 3: giving away opportunity, of giving away the process.
Speaker 8: And it's been Yeah, it feels me, you know in
Speaker 8: a way that I never I never thought i'd be
Speaker 8: doing the work that I do. I just out, you know,
Speaker 8: I'm a former gang member, formerly incarcerated all my you know,
Speaker 8: I grew up in the gang culture in the nineties
Speaker 8: and all my family were gang members, and to.
Speaker 9: Be doing what I do now, Uh, it's just yeah,
Speaker 9: like you said, it really it really feels amazing.
Speaker 1: It really does breaking the cycle. So then when you
Speaker 1: talk to people and you're getting them to come and
Speaker 1: become involved with Torpedo Coffee or even you know, we're
Speaker 1: with Homeboy, how do you convey that because, like you said,
Speaker 1: when somebody told you that, you had no frame of
Speaker 1: reference for it. So how do you give people that
Speaker 1: frame of references? You say, you can make a different
Speaker 1: life for yourself.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think we show them more than.
Speaker 3: We can tell them by just creating opportunity. And Mike
Speaker 3: can speak to that when we first kicked off the
Speaker 3: internship program with Homeboy. Mike, do you want to talk
Speaker 3: about Paul, You want to talk about that process.
Speaker 9: A little bit?
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think Osea is absolutely right. I mean number one,
Speaker 5: I just I'm I'm truly blessed to have a partner
Speaker 5: in jose And I think it's it's it's our actions
Speaker 5: more than our words when folks come in that feel,
Speaker 5: that that sense of warmth and love that jose was
Speaker 5: referencing earlier on with the coffee, And I really do
Speaker 5: think it takes the village, and it takes a community
Speaker 5: of hope and kinship, which that Beto and Homeboy are
Speaker 5: able to do even exponentially more now because we have
Speaker 5: more businesses and we have more baristas, we have more employees.
Speaker 5: But again, I think it's like trainees or anyone coming
Speaker 5: through whatever process, we share the same heartbeat and we're
Speaker 5: able to provide not just that community, but with Homeboy
Speaker 5: as a partner, the services that folks may need, and
Speaker 5: that can be anything from counseling to employment to housing.
Speaker 5: And so we're just blessed in the position that we
Speaker 5: are right and now as a company and excited for
Speaker 5: the future.
Speaker 1: Okay and Mike, because unfortunately we were like out of time,
Speaker 1: and I would love to talk to you more about this.
Speaker 1: Where do people find more information about Torpedo Coffee and
