Speaker 1: Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call and the latest
Speaker 1: on the fires burning in southern California. A fire that
Speaker 1: started in San Gabriel Canyon has grown over fifty thousand acres,
Speaker 1: burned thirty three homes in Mount Baldy and Right Wood,
Speaker 1: and destroyed six cabins in wilderness areas. The fire has
Speaker 1: been burning since Sunday. It's spread into San Bernardino County
Speaker 1: and is still zero percent contained. It's the largest active
Speaker 1: fire burning in the state. The fire in the San
Speaker 1: Bernardino Mountains has grown to thirty six thousand acres.
Speaker 3: It's eighteen percent surrounded.
Speaker 1: In Orange County, the fire that started in Tribuco Canyon
Speaker 1: and spread into Riverside County has burned more than twenty
Speaker 1: three thousand acres. It is five percent surrounded. Four people
Speaker 1: charged in the shooting death of former General Hospital actor
Speaker 1: Johnny Whackter has pleaded guilty to attempted robbery and grand theft.
Speaker 1: Two other eighteen year olds are charged with murder. Whacktor
Speaker 1: was shot in downtown LA in May when he confronted
Speaker 1: the men who were allegedly trying to steal his car's
Speaker 1: catalytic converter viewership for the Trump Harris presidential.
Speaker 3: Debate was huge.
Speaker 1: Fifty seven million people watch the showdown between former President
Speaker 1: Trump and Vice President Harris on Tuesday night. That's nearly
Speaker 1: ten million more than the number that watched the debate
Speaker 1: in June between President Biden and Trump. We'll be checking
Speaker 1: in with ABC's Karen Travers to find out what the
Speaker 1: candidates are up to and where they're headed to next.
Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. I mentioned that
Speaker 1: things were happening in.
Speaker 5: Space FACEXES go for spacewalk operations before advisors down ready
Speaker 5: for secondary Otubo initiation and crew is go for spacewater.
Speaker 1: The crew of the SpaceX Polaire mission has made history
Speaker 1: by completing the world's first all civilian spacewalk. The crew
Speaker 1: is made up of billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, retired Air
Speaker 1: Force Lieutenant Colonel Scott Petite known as Kid, and SpaceX
Speaker 1: engineers Sarah Gillis and Anna Mennon. Isaacman, who funded the
Speaker 1: flight and Gillis, began their roughly thirty minute spacewalks just
Speaker 1: after three o'clock this morning our time. The Polaris Dawn
Speaker 1: mission is designed to test procedures and technologies that could
Speaker 1: be used in future long duration space missions.
Speaker 3: So cool. Okay, back to the fires.
Speaker 1: The fire that started in the Angelus National Forest above
Speaker 1: Glendora has grown to more than fifty thousand acres. As
Speaker 1: I mentioned, still zero percent surrounded. Firefighters say they've been
Speaker 1: able to make some progress because of a slight increase
Speaker 1: in humidity and the decrease in temperatures. The north side
Speaker 1: of the fire has remained the most active. Evacuation orders
Speaker 1: are still in place for the East Fork communities of
Speaker 1: Camp Williams Resort and River Community, and for Mountain Baldy,
Speaker 1: right Wood and Pinion Hills. Several homes have burned. The
Speaker 1: Mountain High Ski Resort was spared. Resort employees turned on
Speaker 1: snowmaking machines before they left the area. Fire has been
Speaker 1: burning since Sunday afternoon. Firefighters say the change in weather
Speaker 1: has helped them battle the fire in the San Bernardino Mountains,
Speaker 1: but CalFire Operations Chief Jed Gains says neighbors should stay
Speaker 1: vigilant because contion conditions could change at any time.
Speaker 6: We're still a couple miles out from Big Bear, but
Speaker 6: as you know, it doesn't take much for where it's
Speaker 6: aligned and where the fire is established in that Bear
Speaker 6: Creek drainage to come out onto that La Mesa Bluff
Speaker 6: up there near Boulder.
Speaker 1: Gaines says the lower temperatures, higher humidity, and more favorable
Speaker 1: winds have been beneficial.
Speaker 3: Over the past two days.
Speaker 1: The fires burned more than thirty six thousand acres and
Speaker 1: is eighteen percent surrounded. Governor Newsom has declared a state
Speaker 1: of emergency in each of the counties affected by the
Speaker 1: major wildfires. Newsom says the state is deploying every available
Speaker 1: resource to fight the three fires in southern California. Thorty
Speaker 1: say anyone who lives near the fire zone should pay
Speaker 1: attention to all evacuation orders and warnings. Taylor Swift and
Speaker 1: Post Malone have won the biggest award of the MTV
Speaker 1: Video Music Awards. They got the trophy for Video of
Speaker 1: the Year last night for Fortnite. Swift thanked a lot
Speaker 1: of people, including pro football player Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 6: I would always just hear like someone like cheering and like.
Speaker 7: Woo from across the studio where.
Speaker 1: We were shooting it, and that one person was my
Speaker 1: boyfriend Travis h Swift won a total of seven awards
Speaker 1: last night. She now has the most VMAs of all
Speaker 1: time with thirty.
Speaker 3: That's one more than Beyonce.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning to a Swifty. I just heard
Speaker 1: good morning, Karen Travis.
Speaker 3: Good morning.
Speaker 8: Yes, I was listening to that piece with great interest
Speaker 8: because I fell asleep last night.
Speaker 3: Oh you didn't see it. I did not see it.
Speaker 8: I will need to watch the clips today, but my
Speaker 8: kids will be excited to watch it with me later tonight.
Speaker 3: Love it, love it.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, fresh off the debate YEARNS Vice President Harris
Speaker 1: is going back on the campaign trail. Before they do that, though,
Speaker 1: they're taking a little time to strategize.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, yesterday was a down day for politics,
Speaker 8: the nine to eleven anniversary. There's always a pause in
Speaker 8: campaigning or politics in DC as the nation commemorates and
Speaker 8: remembers what happened on that day and just pauses for
Speaker 8: a little bit. So we didn't see any campaign activity yesterday,
Speaker 8: but today they're back at it. We're going to see
Speaker 8: the Vice president doing two rallies in North Carolina tomorrow.
Speaker 8: She's in Pennsylvania. But the campaign was strategizing yesterday about
Speaker 8: how they could take advantage of what they think is
Speaker 8: momentum coming out of the debate.
Speaker 3: They feel that it was a decisive.
Speaker 8: Win over Donald Trump, and now they're starting what they
Speaker 8: are calling a more aggressive campaigning stage.
Speaker 3: More aggressive, more aggressive, right.
Speaker 8: I mean you think about it though, Like she was
Speaker 8: down for a couple of days heading into the debate.
Speaker 8: There was the convention that took a lot of attention
Speaker 8: in her time, and she was preparing for the debate
Speaker 8: even before the convention. Now it's really like the traditional
Speaker 8: campaign look where we're just going to see her Governor
Speaker 8: Walls and the other surrogates doing rally rally, rally, rally,
Speaker 8: lots of local media interviews, lots of constituent voter outreach,
Speaker 8: you know, events like that. But you know, the big
Speaker 8: message we're getting from campaign officials is the debate didn't
Speaker 8: change the race. You know, the trajectory of the race
Speaker 8: is still the same.
Speaker 3: It's a very very tight race.
Speaker 8: The battlegrounds are very close, and as she put it
Speaker 8: herself the other night at that debate watch party that
Speaker 8: she visited, we've got a lot of work to do.
Speaker 8: They put out a fundraising email yesterday and said debates
Speaker 8: don't win elections. They've got to get out there and
Speaker 8: do the hard work.
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, you mentioned that she is planning to do
Speaker 1: local media interviews that only affects certain pockets. So is
Speaker 1: she going to be doing any more national interviews.
Speaker 8: It's not clear. You know, this new phase, we're told
Speaker 8: that she will be doing more media engagements, but primarily
Speaker 8: targeting battleground states and others very specific you know, important
Speaker 8: voting groups. We are told that they have local media
Speaker 8: interviews set up for the coming days, So I think
Speaker 8: we will have to just be paying attention to see
Speaker 8: where they pop up in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, probably Wisconsin.
Speaker 8: But you know, that's the strategy for the campaigns at
Speaker 8: this stage. Doing a big national interview gets you so much,
Speaker 8: but doing a very specifically targeted interview in the top
Speaker 8: market in the battleground state, that's important to get the
Speaker 8: attention that they want in those really critical areas.
Speaker 1: There's still a lot of talk after the debate that
Speaker 1: she really didn't answer questions, that she you know, just
Speaker 1: switched topics and people still don't really know what she
Speaker 1: stands for. Is her campaign going to address that and
Speaker 1: is she prepared for in some of those smaller town interviews,
Speaker 1: I would imagine somebody's going to be trying to really
Speaker 1: get some answers.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think that's probably a focus to do
Speaker 8: those types of interviews where you can drill down to
Speaker 8: a specific policy issue that is critical for that era.
Speaker 8: But you know, I think they'll say now, like, we're
Speaker 8: going to be out there on the trail talking to
Speaker 8: voters directly, and this is going to be the focus
Speaker 8: over the next two months at this point. You know,
Speaker 8: I think in terms of where the questions answered, you
Speaker 8: know that New York Times poll that said twenty eight
Speaker 8: percent of Americans wanted to hear more from her in
Speaker 8: the debate or in general, they want to hear more
Speaker 8: about her policies. We haven't seen good polling yet since
Speaker 8: the debate, so we've got to give it a couple
Speaker 8: of days. But that's going to be a big question.
Speaker 8: Did she answer that in her performance on Tuesday night?
Speaker 1: Okay, so here's the big question. What's the campaign saying
Speaker 1: about the Taylor Swift endorsement.
Speaker 8: I mean, they're very thrilled, they're surprised, actually, and it
Speaker 8: also it came as a surprise. They truly were not
Speaker 8: anticipating it that night.
Speaker 3: I think they were.
Speaker 8: Hoping it was going to come at some point before
Speaker 8: election day, but they weren't anticipating it coming in the
Speaker 8: minutes after the debate and that endorsement. She did make
Speaker 8: it clear that, you know, Taylor said, I watched the
Speaker 8: debate tonight, and so you know she's paying attention. The
Speaker 8: other notable thing too, the st I just want to
Speaker 8: make sure I get the number right too, and I'm
Speaker 8: going to pull it up here in my email that
Speaker 8: you know, she directed people in her post to go
Speaker 8: and register to vote and look up early voting statistics,
Speaker 8: and we were told yesterday that there had been about
Speaker 8: three hundred and forty thousand visitors to vote dot gov.
Speaker 8: That came from the url that she created and shared.
Speaker 1: So I love her absolutely, Okay, And before I let
Speaker 1: you go, we were talking about the nine to eleven
Speaker 1: and they took some time off and what we didn't see,
Speaker 1: which was politics yesterday, but what we did see was
Speaker 1: a handshake.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they shook hands yesterday. I thought that was it
Speaker 8: was a good yeah, especially Aberg seemed to kind of
Speaker 8: coordinate that. But a handshake between the vice president and
Speaker 8: the former president Donald Trump at the ceremony at the
Speaker 8: Work Trade Center site in New York yesterday.
Speaker 1: All Right, ABC's Karen Travis, thanks so much, have a
Speaker 1: great day. All Right, let's get back to some of
Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: A woman who was allegedly drunk when her daughter died
Speaker 1: in a hot car, and Anaheim lost two kids to
Speaker 1: a drunk driver years ago.
Speaker 7: Sandra Hernandez allegedly had a blood alcohol level four times
Speaker 7: the legal limit, which she was found passed out in
Speaker 7: the car where their three year old daughter in the
Speaker 7: back seat. Orange County DA spokesperson kimberly Ed says temperatures
Speaker 7: outside Friday were about one hundred and four degrees.
Speaker 5: And obviously we're much much higher inside of a locked
Speaker 5: vehicle with the outdoor temperatures being that high.
Speaker 7: The woman's ex husband says she was struggling with the
Speaker 7: loss of their two boys, who were hidden killed by
Speaker 7: a drunk driver in twenty twelve. If convicted of involuntary manslaughter,
Speaker 7: she faces a maximum of twelve years in prison.
Speaker 3: Chris Adler kf I News that one is tragic all
Speaker 3: the way around.
Speaker 1: A sixty four year old former referee and coach from
Speaker 1: Huntington Beach has pleaded guilty to charges that he hit
Speaker 1: a camera to take pictures of an underage girl in
Speaker 1: his care, and also persuaded a second child in another
Speaker 1: country to send him nude photos of herself. Former American
Speaker 1: Youth Soccer Organization coach Mark Oster is facing between fifteen
Speaker 1: and thirty years in prison when he sentenced in November.
Speaker 1: Reconviction of a Chinese owned real estate company's been upheld
Speaker 1: by a federal appeals court in La. The company shen
Speaker 1: Zhen was convicted in twenty twenty two of paying former
Speaker 1: La City councilman Jose weees Are more than one and
Speaker 1: a half million dollars in cash, gambling, trips, and escorts
Speaker 1: in exchange for the councilman support of a planned hotel
Speaker 1: project in downtown La. The company wanted to redevelop the
Speaker 1: La Grand Hotel into the city's tallest skyscraper. Campbell's Soup
Speaker 1: is going the way of the Dodo sort of. After
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty five years, the company is dropping
Speaker 1: the soup part and we'll just be called the Campbell's Company.
Speaker 1: Campbell's owns snack brands, Goldfish Snyders of Hanover, Cape Cod
Speaker 1: and Pepperidge Farm.
Speaker 3: They also owned Prego.
Speaker 1: The company says it's snacks sales are up thirteen percent,
Speaker 1: while soups grew just three percent. Campbell's more than Soup.
Speaker 1: Maybe that would be good, a new good tagline for them. Okay,
Speaker 1: some quick thinking by Mountain High Ski Resort or may
Speaker 1: have saved their lives and also saved the ski resort.
Speaker 1: I love this story because there's so many awful stories
Speaker 1: tied to all these fires. So we saw the pictures
Speaker 1: of the Mountain High Ski Resort and the flames going
Speaker 1: through the resort, and at one point they thought the
Speaker 1: resort was lost, but it wasn't because of some fast
Speaker 1: work by the employees. Before they got out, they turned
Speaker 1: on the snow cannons. Normally they're making snow, this time
Speaker 1: they just shot water into the air and those cannons
Speaker 1: were like makeshift firefighting tools and saved the ski resort.
Speaker 1: So good on you, Mountain High Ski Resort workers. Three
Speaker 1: wildfires burning in southern California have grown so big they
Speaker 1: can be seen from space. Pictures from a Noah satellite
Speaker 1: show Plumes of smoke coming from the more than thirty
Speaker 1: six thousand acre fire in the San Bernardino Mountains, the
Speaker 1: near fifty thousand acre fire that's burning in right Wood
Speaker 1: and Mount Baldy and around there. And the twenty three
Speaker 1: thousand acre fire that started in Orange County and has
Speaker 1: crossed into Riverside County, burning towards Lake Elsinore year, Ol
Speaker 1: dad accused of kidnapping his nine month old son has
Speaker 1: been arrested. Police say David Avalos took his son early
Speaker 1: yesterday morning at Huntington Park, which prompted an Amber alert.
Speaker 1: The boy was found two hours later, and police then
Speaker 1: tracked down and arrested Avalos. In Los Angeles, California, AG
Speaker 1: Rob Bonte is among forty two attorneys general who are
Speaker 1: urging Congress to pass legislation that would implement the US
Speaker 1: Surgeon General's idea to put warning labels on social media.
Speaker 1: At six o five at Handle on the News, are
Speaker 1: you ready for an extreme weather event? A lot of
Speaker 1: homeowners say they are not prepared. Let's say good morning
Speaker 1: now to ABC's Tom Rivers.
Speaker 4: Tom.
Speaker 1: US Secretary of State Antony Blincoln has met with Ukraine's
Speaker 1: President Zelenski.
Speaker 3: What was the purpose of that one?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was here in London, and he went with
Speaker 4: the new British Foreign Secretary, David Lammy to Kiev surprise surprise,
Speaker 4: handing over more money to Kiev, this time to the
Speaker 4: tune of seven hundred million of US taxpayer dollars eighty
Speaker 4: million of British taxpayer dollars. This particular time, they discussed
Speaker 4: the uh, if it will the plea by Zelensky that
Speaker 4: he wants US LED Western long range missiles to be
Speaker 4: allowed to go far into Russia, and again both of
Speaker 4: them said Lammy and Mike Gan said that that will
Speaker 4: be discussed between the new Prime Minister here Cures Starmer,
Speaker 4: and the President Biden when the two meet up in
Speaker 4: Washington on Friday. So case's kind of following I guess
Speaker 4: a script that seems pretty predictive, but we wait to
Speaker 4: see what the outcome will be tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the US and the UK. Are they
Speaker 1: leaning one way or the other or do we know?
Speaker 4: Interesting they're they're they're kind of playing the neutral umpire
Speaker 4: at this stage. Interesting input though from Dmitry Peskov in Moscow,
Speaker 4: the Kremlin spokesman. He said, it's kind of following a
Speaker 4: pattern whereby this decision in his view was made long
Speaker 4: ago and it will just be rolled out in the
Speaker 4: coming coming days and weeks. So watching space on that.
Speaker 4: A couple of weeks ago, Sergei Lavrov, Foreign Secretary said,
Speaker 4: you're playing with a box of matches, and you know,
Speaker 4: you really are playing with fire on this one nuclear
Speaker 4: powered Russia. And of course if there is some retribution,
Speaker 4: which Moscow says there will be, you won't feel it
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles, but maybe parts of Western Europe will, so.
Speaker 1: It could really so Ukraine is attacking and firing things
Speaker 1: into Russia. We know that there have been drone attacks
Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff, and they've taken over territory,
Speaker 1: but not using US missiles.
Speaker 4: That's the distinction they have on very very limited use.
Speaker 4: But again, the Ukraine really wants, you know, Western consultants
Speaker 4: in there to go, you know, plot courses, you know,
Speaker 4: go deep into Russia and then have a grab a
Speaker 4: Ukrainian by the hand and put their thumb on the
Speaker 4: button and launch it. It is a very very dangerous
Speaker 4: escalation at this point, and it is very very scary,
Speaker 4: and I think it's kind of sleep walking into this.
Speaker 4: It certainly hasn't come out in the in the US campaign.
Speaker 4: But people should take notice of this because it is very,
Speaker 4: very extremely dangerous and nobody's nobody's really talking about which.
Speaker 1: Is so while we're talking to you now, because it
Speaker 1: does it does sound like a pretty big escalation of
Speaker 1: where we're not supposed to be involved with and how
Speaker 1: how is the war going? I mean, is is Ukraine
Speaker 1: gaining any ground? Is Russia continuing to push We're not
Speaker 1: hearing much about it. Again.
Speaker 4: No, occasionally you hear some some American reports, some cheerleaders
Speaker 4: are saying that, you know, Ukraine's no, we just had
Speaker 4: blinked in Poland saying that Ukraine is winning and that
Speaker 4: is not the case. On the ground. Russia is pushing
Speaker 4: Ukraine forces back on the six hundred and twenty mile line,
Speaker 4: the line of confrontation in eastern Ukraine. Russia has stabilized
Speaker 4: the incursion into Kursk, and that's where it lies right now.
Speaker 4: And I think the Democrats are going to be just
Speaker 4: holding their breath that nothing dramatically changes before the fifth
Speaker 4: of November. They've been through Afghanistan and the chaos of
Speaker 4: the withdrawal there. They don't want another black mark, if
Speaker 4: you will, in Ukraine before voting.
Speaker 1: Day yeah, okay, and you mentioned kurs So they're stabilizing
Speaker 1: that because I think the last time we talked, the
Speaker 1: Ukrainians had taken more territory in Russia. So they're not
Speaker 1: pushing forward in Russia anymore, and are they being pushed
Speaker 1: back in Russia.
Speaker 4: It is pretty stable. The hope from the Ukrainian side
Speaker 4: is that Russia would pull out some of its forces
Speaker 4: in Ukraine to augment forces in that part that region
Speaker 4: of Russia to push the Ukrainians out. That did not happen.
Speaker 4: The Russians continued with their push through eastern Ukraine and
Speaker 4: they've been supplementing with some reinforcements, but not from Ukraine
Speaker 4: to deal with the with the incursion and cursed. So,
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of military analysts will saying, you know,
Speaker 4: it is the versionary. It's taken a lot of focus,
Speaker 4: it's written some headlines, but in the bigger picture, it's
Speaker 4: not helping the Ukrainian war effort to combat Russia. It is.
Speaker 4: It is. It's an interesting side show, it is.
Speaker 1: It seems like it's more like just to make a point,
Speaker 1: I guess, but it's really not changing anything, at least
Speaker 1: it doesn't appear.
Speaker 4: To be correct, exactly, Okay, exactly.
Speaker 1: And so we're expecting to hear from the US and
Speaker 1: the UK on whether they're going to green light Zelenski's
Speaker 1: plans to use those missiles to strike farther into Russia
Speaker 1: sometime maybe tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Maybe tomorrow. Yeah. So yeah, as I say, we've been
Speaker 4: hearing this same kind of language and Lund in Kiev
Speaker 4: and in Warsaw today saying where we're looking at it,
Speaker 4: we're scratching our heads and yeah, you know, keep your
Speaker 4: radar on tomorrow and see exactly what comes out of
Speaker 4: this meeting of the leaders of the US and the UK.
Speaker 1: Okay, Tom Rivers, thank you so much. As always, we
Speaker 1: appreciate the information. Take care, all right. The City of
Speaker 1: La has moved a step closer to setting up a
Speaker 1: right to Council ordinance to provide legal help to renters
Speaker 1: who are facing eviction. City council members voted eleven to
Speaker 1: nothing yesterday to get the city attorney to revise a
Speaker 1: draft ordinance and get it back to the council for consideration.

Speaker 1: court yesterday. He's charged with murder and first degree robbery.
Speaker 1: He could get life in prison without the possibility of
Speaker 1: parole if convicted. Some Republicans say they're not happy with
Speaker 1: former President Trump's debate performance. ABC's Rachel Scott says there
Speaker 1: was a question about which version of Trump was going
Speaker 1: to show up on the debate stage Tuesday night.
Speaker 8: They wanted to see the former president stick to the issue,
Speaker 8: stay on message, not dip into conspiracy theories or promote
Speaker 8: false claims.

Speaker 1: Justin Timberlakes expected to plead guilty tomorrow to a lesser

Speaker 1: his feet, and performed poorly on all the sobriety tests.
Speaker 1: Timberlake said he had one martini, and his attorney said
Speaker 1: he was and drunk. Yale is going to pay an
Speaker 1: undisclosed amount to dozens of patients who sued the school
Speaker 1: after a nurse at a fertility clinic swapped their anesthesia
Speaker 1: with sailing. Over ninety patients underwent extremely painful egg retrieval
Speaker 1: procedures because of it, so instead of having anesthesia, they
Speaker 1: got sailing. The nurse who was convicted of tampering with
Speaker 1: the clinic's anesthesia supply did it, apparently because of an
Speaker 1: addiction to fentanel. Hey, I don't know that I would
Speaker 1: ever be addicted to this kind of thing. Rock climbing, repelling,
Speaker 1: But we're going to do that. Neil Savadra and I
Speaker 1: are going over the edge for the Union Rescue Mission.

Speaker 1: ten bucks, I don't care. What we can do is
Speaker 1: just help one, and we'll do it one at a
Speaker 1: time and get these people off the street, the ones

Speaker 1: on how bad the South South coast is being hammered
Speaker 1: with ABC's Jim Ryan. That's coming up before the top
Speaker 1: of the hour at six oh five. It's handle on
Speaker 1: the news. The crew of SpaceX's Police Ris Dawn mission
Speaker 1: has done something no other civilians have ever done.
Speaker 3: Very cool at five point fifty.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, we're going to find out how bad
Speaker 1: Louisiana and other southern states are getting hammered by Hurricane Francine.
Speaker 1: This week, I went out and about to a.
Speaker 3: Place that you won't believe your eyes. Okay.
Speaker 1: So it's called the World of Illusions. I tried to
Speaker 1: make it all cryptic and mysterious, failed miserably.
Speaker 3: Okay. So the World of Illusions is in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: It's right there, very close to all the Highland and
Speaker 1: what is it Vine and Hollywood and Vine Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: and the Kodak Theater and all of that stuff.
Speaker 3: And in fact, you can park in that parking structure.
Speaker 1: But what it is is a permanent installation.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: They have all these pop up places that are big
Speaker 1: photo ops. This one's a permanent installation. And they say,
Speaker 1: step into Hollywood's famous World of Illusions with four unique
Speaker 1: experiences that you'll be sure to baffle your friends with.
Speaker 1: So they've got the Museum of Illusions, They've got the
Speaker 1: Giant's House, the Upside Down House, and then also Smash.
Speaker 1: We didn't do Smash, but we did the other three.
Speaker 1: And it's basically a giant photo op. So they say,
Speaker 1: do bring your camera because you take the pictures and
Speaker 1: they tell you where to take the pictures, and you
Speaker 1: then insert yourself into these optical illusions. And I got
Speaker 1: to tell you they're pretty good. My friend Amy and
Speaker 1: I went and we had a blast, and there's just
Speaker 1: it's hard to explain, but you know what an optical
Speaker 1: illusion looks like. They put you in a picture and
Speaker 1: it's really cool the way it's done, and they have
Speaker 1: it all set up so it says, here, take this
Speaker 1: picture here from this angle, and you'll get the right
Speaker 1: optical illusion, because if you don't do it right then
Speaker 1: it does work out. So along with the Illusion House,
Speaker 1: there's also the Giant's House, so they have like everything
Speaker 1: is ginormous, So like there's a coke can but it's
Speaker 1: ten feet tall and so you kind of peek over
Speaker 1: the edge of it, and there's a giant hamburger, there's
Speaker 1: a giant stiletto heel, and so then you look tiny
Speaker 1: in them. Then that's kind of fun. And then the
Speaker 1: other one is the upside Down House and I'm putting
Speaker 1: all of this up on Instagram so you can see
Speaker 1: some of the examples of the exhibit.
Speaker 3: The upside down House.
Speaker 1: They've got everything tacked up to the wall, so you
Speaker 1: take a picture and then in your camera you flip
Speaker 1: it and it looks like the picture is correct and
Speaker 1: you're like floating above it. It's it's very funky and
Speaker 1: it's very fun anyway, World of Illusions in Hollywood, they
Speaker 1: do have prices per experience, or you can group them
Speaker 1: so it's like thirty bucks for one, and I think
Speaker 1: we did three for seventy five dollars. Not inexpensive, but
Speaker 1: it is a cool photo op and it took us,
Speaker 1: I don't know. We did three of them and it
Speaker 1: took us about an hour and a half to get
Speaker 1: through them, and then we got, like I said, we
Speaker 1: got some really fun, memorable photos to take home. You
Speaker 1: can also do the VIP experience where you get a
Speaker 1: personal photographer. Like if you were going with a friend
Speaker 1: and you wanted to both be in all the pictures,
Speaker 1: or if you were going with a group and you
Speaker 1: wanted the whole group to be in the pictures, then
Speaker 1: you could have the personal photographer and he takes you
Speaker 1: around or she takes you around and does all the
Speaker 1: shots for you. But anyway, it was a fun way
Speaker 1: to spend the afternoon, something a little bit different from
Speaker 1: what I would normally do. Like I said, it's not inexpensive,
Speaker 1: but if you're really into like it would make for
Speaker 1: some fun social media posts or some fun pictures if
Speaker 1: you want to share them with friends. It's the world
Speaker 1: of illusions in Hollywood again, a permanent photo op and
Speaker 1: probably social media experience.
Speaker 3: That's where we went out and about this week.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The fight against
Speaker 1: the fire and the San Bernardino Mountains is being helped
Speaker 1: by better weather.
Speaker 5: Firefighters say they've benefitted from lower temperatures during the day,
Speaker 5: higher humidity, and more favorable wins. CAL Fire Operations Chief
Speaker 5: Jed Gaines says, though the fire is still a threat
Speaker 5: to be taken seriously.
Speaker 6: For those of you that are in evacuation warnings right now,
Speaker 6: have a plan, have your stuff packed, be ready to
Speaker 6: go at a moment's notice, and when it is time
Speaker 6: to go, we suggest you go.
Speaker 3: In San Bernardino. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: The fires burned more than thirty six thousand acres. It's
Speaker 1: eighteen percent surrounded. Two alleged would be burglars have been
Speaker 1: arrested in San Bernardino County. Sheriffs Shannondika says they were
Speaker 1: trying to break into homes of people who left to
Speaker 1: get away from the wildfire.
Speaker 5: If you're going to be an opportunist in San Bernardino
Speaker 5: County and we catch you, you are going to jail
Speaker 5: my deputies and I will ensure that, and I know
Speaker 5: we have a DA that will prosecute you.
Speaker 1: The Sheriff's department is also arrested a guy from Norco
Speaker 1: accused of intentionally setting the fire last Thursday. In Highland,
Speaker 1: police in Riverside have taken a fifteen year old boy
Speaker 1: into custody on suspicion he made criminal threats against a
Speaker 1: high schoo pool in the city. Police officers were sent
Speaker 1: to Arlington High on Tuesday when a threat was allegedly
Speaker 1: made involving the Principle bullisay the threats were posted on
Speaker 1: social media. They say a search of the teen's home
Speaker 1: showed he did not have any weapons. How Speaker Mike
Speaker 1: Johnson has pulled a government funding bill from the House
Speaker 1: floor before a scheduled vote because it didn't have support.
Speaker 1: The bill includes a requirement that people registering to vote
Speaker 1: provide proof of citizenship. Congress needs to approve a short
Speaker 1: term spending plan to avoid a government shutdown at the
Speaker 1: end of the month. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says
Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson should scrap his plan.
Speaker 8: The Speaker's proposal suffers from many fatal flaws. Above all,
Speaker 8: it omits and shortchanges so many critical programs that Americans
Speaker 8: rely on every day.
Speaker 1: Schumer says Republicans want the funding fight to go into
Speaker 1: the next administration. Nickelodeon is going to debut two new
Speaker 1: balloons for this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade not that
Speaker 1: far away. One of the new balloons will be of
Speaker 1: the Firefighters Dalmation Pup Marshall from Paw Patrol. Also debuting
Speaker 1: this year will be a float and a balloon based

Speaker 1: be part of the parade. Tomorrow, the Dodgers take on
Speaker 1: the Braves in Atlanta. First pitch goes out at four twenty.
Speaker 1: You can listen to every game, actually every play of
Speaker 1: every game on AM five to seventy LA Sports Live
Speaker 1: from the Gallpin Motors Broadcast Booth, and you can stream
Speaker 1: all the games in HD on the iHeartRadio app keyword
Speaker 1: AM five to seventy LA Sports. Three wildfires burning in
Speaker 1: southern California have torched vehicles, burned homes and buildings, and
Speaker 1: injured more than a dozen people. Parts of Big Bear
Speaker 1: and the entire communities of bright Wood and Mount Baldy
Speaker 1: are under evacuation orders because of the more than thirty
Speaker 1: six thousand acre and more than fifty thousand acre fires.
Speaker 1: A fire that started in Tribuco Canyon has left rubble
Speaker 1: and ash in its wake. It's burned more than twenty
Speaker 1: three thousand acres. It's five percent surrounded. Cooler weather is
Speaker 1: expected to help fire fighters fight the fires as we
Speaker 1: head into the weekend. The world's first all civilian spacewalk
Speaker 1: happened earlier this morning as part of the Polaris Dawn mission.
Speaker 1: The SpaceX mission sent four people into orbit including American
Speaker 1: billionaire Jared Isaacman. Exciting the crew dragon capsule on a tether,
Speaker 1: he noted, actually not exciting, exiting the Crew Dragon capsule
Speaker 1: on a tether, he said. Back home, we have a
Speaker 1: lot of work to do. But from here Earth sure
Speaker 1: looks like a perfect world.
Speaker 3: How exciting.
Speaker 1: We're just minutes away from Handle on the news this morning,
Speaker 1: Mountain High is still standing thanks to some quick thinking
Speaker 1: by workers at the ski resort. Now, let's say good
Speaker 1: morning to ABC's Jim Ryan.
Speaker 3: Not in space.
Speaker 1: Right here on Earth, where Hurricane Francis is pounding parts
Speaker 1: of the South.
Speaker 9: It is, but it's been downgraded dramatically. It came ashore, Im.
Speaker 9: He's a category two hurricane with wents around one hundred
Speaker 9: miles per hour down near Morgan City, between there and
Speaker 9: New Orleans. It quickly weakened as it moved over the land,
Speaker 9: over Lake Poncha Train and then into Mississippi. It's squarely
Speaker 9: in Mississippi now it's actually a tropical depression, so it's
Speaker 9: dropped even below the tropical storm status that it held
Speaker 9: this morning. It's winds around thirty five miles per hour
Speaker 9: and the pressure will gradually be rising there in Louisiana.
Speaker 9: As the storm moves to the north, it's going to
Speaker 9: head up into kind of the western tip of Tennessee,
Speaker 9: turning a little bit to the west from there into Missouri.
Speaker 9: So it's not done yet. A lot of flooding in
Speaker 9: Louisiana and that's to be expected, and still a lingering
Speaker 9: threat of tornadoes. The big job now, of course, is
Speaker 9: getting the power back on.
Speaker 3: How many people are out of power.
Speaker 9: Three hundred and ninety thousand right now. Those are customers
Speaker 9: that would be homes and businesses, could be an office building,
Speaker 9: an apartment complex, a single family home with gas station.
Speaker 9: So yeah, three hundred and ninety thousand outages in Louisiana
Speaker 9: right now. They're getting a lot in Mississippi now, fifty
Speaker 9: thousand over there, and then some in Alabama as well
Speaker 9: as the storm moves in that direction. Of course, it's
Speaker 9: important to get the power back on. Zoom. The more
Speaker 9: power that's on, the fewer people are using generators. The
Speaker 9: fewer people using generators, the lower the chance that somebody
Speaker 9: could die from carbon monoxide poisoning. As you know, I mean,
Speaker 9: most of the deaths and injuries from hurricanes happened well
Speaker 9: after the storm's gone.
Speaker 1: It's like, wasn't the earthquake in San Francisco? Didn't most
Speaker 1: of the people die from the fires, not their earthquake.
Speaker 9: That's my understanding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, And Louisiana is New Orleans. Did it take
Speaker 1: a direct hit or did it kind of dodge that one?
Speaker 9: Well, the storm came in to the west of there,
Speaker 9: which means that New Orleans was on the quote dirty
Speaker 9: side of the storm.
Speaker 3: That is, it was a dirty side. Yeah, I haven't
Speaker 3: heard that.
Speaker 9: As you're looking down at the map of a hurricane,
Speaker 9: it's spinning in our hemisphere. It spins counterclockwise, right, so
Speaker 9: everything to the east on the east side as it
Speaker 9: ramps up over the water is going to be it
Speaker 9: takes a harder hit from this once it comes ashore,
Speaker 9: everything that's it's crossing across, you know, coming across the land,
Speaker 9: it's scraping and losing power, and then it picks up
Speaker 9: power again as it continues this counterclockwise rotation. So New
Speaker 9: Orleans it did take some flooding, but even there the
Speaker 9: flooding has subsided somewhat. The president of Jefferson Paris says
Speaker 9: that the pump system worked beautifully.
Speaker 1: We love to hear that, especially because you know, it's
Speaker 1: always a concern, especially because the New Orleans is technically
Speaker 1: underwater it is already. Yeah, and then is it expected
Speaker 1: to do much inland as it pushes it is it's
Speaker 1: really falling apart?
Speaker 9: Well, I mean it is falling apart, but that doesn't
Speaker 9: mean that the rain isn't gone. It's going to rain
Speaker 9: itself out essentially, and in areas where they've already had
Speaker 9: a lot of rain up in Arkansas and into Missouri,
Speaker 9: that can cause some problems. Even Louisiana has had some
Speaker 9: heavy rains recently, so flooding is still a con So
Speaker 9: those issues, the flooding, the lingering wind gusts, the possibility
Speaker 9: of tornadoes that always comes with a hurricane, and then
Speaker 9: of course the power outages. That's why they had power
Speaker 9: crews staging all over Louisiana before the storm came in,
Speaker 9: so that as soon as the wind dies down they
Speaker 9: can get those cherry picker trucks and trucks out there
Speaker 9: and start getting the lines reestablished.
Speaker 1: Okay, I nowas said that this is expected to be
Speaker 1: one of the worst hurricane seasons. Are they still expecting
Speaker 1: that or are we kind of heading to the tail
Speaker 1: end of it.
Speaker 9: Well, we're right at the midway point. I think two
Speaker 9: days ago we were at the calendar midpoint of hurricane season.
Speaker 9: And yeah, the prediction going in was that this would
Speaker 9: be a historically busy and active Atlanta hurricane season. That
Speaker 9: just hasn't happened yet. Francine was named storm number six,
Speaker 9: and way out there off the coast of Africa the
Speaker 9: West coast is tropical depression number seven, so that one
Speaker 9: may ramp up a couple of other little disturbances in
Speaker 9: front of that one, but we could still see some
Speaker 9: more activity this year. So yeah, don't count out to
Speaker 9: the Atlantic hurricane season.
Speaker 3: All right, Jim Ryan, thank you so much. Thanks Tomy.
Speaker 1: All right, talk to you soon. Let's get back to
Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four.
Speaker 1: Our newsroom cruise in Orange County been able to slow
Speaker 1: a more than twenty three thousand acre fire that started
Speaker 1: in Tribuco Canyon.
Speaker 3: We looked over the mountain and there was smoke coming out.
Speaker 2: Oscar Gomez has a ranch near Lake Elsinor where multiple
Speaker 2: homes were destroyed.
Speaker 10: And we thought, you know what, maybe it's just a
Speaker 10: few mountains away with then I want to say a minute,
Speaker 10: I looked up and the whole thing was on fire.
Speaker 2: The family immediately fled for cover.
Speaker 10: Man, we were just praying and hoping that, you know,
Speaker 10: our stuff wasn't gonna get burnt.
Speaker 2: Gomez says he lost a few goats to smoke inhalation,
Speaker 2: but dozens of horses, chickens, and other animals survived, but
Speaker 2: some of his neighbors' homes burned to the ground.
Speaker 3: I came pretty close.
Speaker 10: I mean, the fire came all the way to our
Speaker 10: property line, and somehow we were blessed, you know, and
Speaker 10: we're prayful for it.
Speaker 2: Since the fire started Monday, ten firefighters have been treated
Speaker 2: for minor injuries. In Lake elsinor Corbin Carson CAFI News.
Speaker 1: The fire that started in the mountin above Glendora and
Speaker 1: moved into San Bernardino County has burned through more than
Speaker 1: fifty thousand acres. The fire has been burning since Sunday
Speaker 1: afternoon and is zero percent surrounded. Fire officials say several
Speaker 1: homes and buildings in the Rightwood area have been impacted.
Speaker 1: They say the Mountain High ski resort was also affected
Speaker 1: by fire activity, but people who work there say the
Speaker 1: main lifts and buildings survived with little to no damage.
Speaker 1: Resort employees apparently thought to fire up the snowmaking machines
Speaker 1: before they left the area, and that made all the difference.
Speaker 1: A bill to ban octopus farming in California is now
Speaker 1: sitting on Governor Newsom's desk. Lawmakers passed the bill that
Speaker 1: would prohibit farming, import, and sale of octopuses in state
Speaker 1: waters or on land. Washington was the first state to
Speaker 1: pass a ban like this. Similar legislation has been proposed
Speaker 1: in the US Senate and also in Hawaii. The governor
Speaker 1: has until the end of the month to sign it
Speaker 1: into law. The Palm Springs Airport's efforts to go greener
Speaker 1: have gotten a five hundred thousand dollar boost. The FAA
Speaker 1: has awarded Palm Springs a half million dollars in grants
Speaker 1: to substitute gas powered vehicles at the airport with electric vehicles.
