Speaker 1: Here's what's ahead on wake up call this Wednesday morning. Voters in California have overwhelmingly approved Proposition fifty, which allows Democratic lawmakers to redraw congressional district maps in favor of Democrats. Assemblyman David Tanga Pi Tangipa is called passage of Prop fifty a sad day because the people of California have been lied to. As he put it, Governor Newsom says tonight after poking the bear this bear roar.
00:01:35
Speaker 4: Have more from Newsom in just a minute.
00:01:37
Speaker 1: Apparently, homelessness is no longer an emergency in La. Mayor Bass has lifted her declaration of a local emergency on homelessness made on her first day in office.

That's going to come up in about three minutes. Some new tricks to try with the new iOS updates. KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro is going to join us to tell us about that. Also, what's app with the Apple Watch and an all new, totally fake social media platform?

Also, Amy's on it checking out stuff on the stream. I took a recommendation from kfi's host of How to Money, Joe Larsgard, and I have experienced a super fun international series. It's kind of like a Hallmark movie on steroids. I tell you about that coming up at the bottom of the hour. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. California voters have passed Proposition fifty. The ballot proposition would allow Democrats to redraw the state's congressional district map to favor Democrats. Governor Newsom has praised the win as a victory for Democrats and for the country after other redistricting attempts around the US.
00:03:34
Speaker 5: What a night for the Democratic Party, A party that is in its ascendancy, a party that's on its toes, no longer on its heels.
00:03:43
Speaker 1: Opponents say fifty sets up one of the most extreme partisan jerry manders in modern American history and is a threat to democracy and fair elections. In California, Republican Assemblyman Karl Demayo San Diego says his party failed last night.
00:03:57
Speaker 2: The Californy Republican Party needs to be shaken to its core and held accountable for their lackluster, pathetic, anemic, off message campaign against Prop fifty.
00:04:08
Speaker 4: Okay, but how do you really feel?
00:04:10
Speaker 1: Prop fifty put on the ballot after Texas changed its congressional maps at the urging of President Trump, that is giving Republicans five more seats. President Trump reportedly preparing to sign an executive order have targeting states like California that predominantly use mail in ballots. He says vote by mail policies are under legal and criminal review. As voters went to the polls in California to design on Prop fifty, they were asked about their views on the state of affairs in the country. ABC's Alex Stone says they're not happy about how things are going.
00:04:41
Speaker 6: By a wide margin, more California voters said the economy was the most important issue facing the state. Under two and ten said immigration was the most important issue, and one in six said healthcare.
00:04:53
Speaker 1: He says roughly a quarter said they are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country, but are not angry about it.
00:05:00
Speaker 4: Okay.
00:05:01
Speaker 1: A woman who police say could be an arsonist has been rescued from a rock quarry in the San Fernando Valley.
00:05:06
Speaker 7: The forty year old woman was found one hundred and fifty feet down the rock quarry in Pucoima at about eleven am on Tuesday. After about five hours, she managed to climb out with some assistance. It's not clear why she was in a rock quarry, but now she's being treated in the hospital in an unknown condition. The Los Angeles Police Department says she's a possible arsen suspect, but they won't elaborate. Mark Mayfield KFI News.

His movies have grossed over thirty two billion dollars worldwide. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Sam Sweeney. Sam, I just flew last weekend and I was one of the lucky ones no delays.
00:05:59
Speaker 4: But that's not the case for everyone.
00:06:00
Speaker 8: I know.
00:06:01
Speaker 4: My friend's flight was delayed like an hour and a half, and.
00:06:04
Speaker 1: The Department of Transportation has a warning for travelers if this government shutdown doesn't end.
00:06:10
Speaker 8: Yeah, you were one of the lucky ones, Damie. This is really a game of Russian roulette. You don't know when it's going to pop up, where it's going to pop up. It's all based on sick calls for air traffic controllers and now TSA agents. As this shutdown continues and goes on, more and more of these air traffic controllers are calling in sick. And when you don't have enough controllers, you have to limit the amount of planes in the air, and to do that, you either delay or you cancel flights. And the Department believes that by next week it could be bad enough that they're going to have to shut down parts of the airspace because they won't have enough controllers to handle the flights that would normally fly there.
00:06:46
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's dig into that just a little bit shutting down the airspace, so like taking the Southwest and just completely closing certain areas of the country.
00:06:59
Speaker 8: Yeah, that is possibility, and it happened in twenty nineteen during the shutdown. And many credits that with ending this shutdown on day thirty five, because it was day thirty three and thirty four, and then of course thirty five that the controllers started to call in sick and New York airspace began to be affected. There was portions that were closed, Flights going in and out of La Guardia were halted. And that's when some say Donald Trump said, Okay, enough is enough, Let's get this handled, and the shutdown ended on day thirty five.
00:07:30
Speaker 1: Okay, And as it stands now, Sam, is are there certain airports that are being affected more like you said, it's changing day to day because it depends on who calls out sick. But are they like have we noticed trends of certain areas that are affected more than others.
00:07:45
Speaker 8: Yeah, there have been Newark and the New York area airports have been hit the hardest. For example, on Friday, eighty percent of controllers in the New York area called in sick. But also, you know, the southern California. Traycon has been a big factor here. That's the center that brings in traffic into a number of the different airports across the southern California area. Also in northern California, the center that brings in flights into San Francisco, Oakland, parts of southern Oregon has been affected. You know, one of the big misconceptions is that air traffic controllers all work in the towers at the airport, and that's not the case. You have air traffic control centers around the country, or twenty two of them, and they handle all of the air traffic above eighteen thousand feet. So, for example, in Denver they have Denver Center. Well, that center handles traffic and parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado. So if you have a couple of controllers to call in sick in the Denver Center, it affects large swaths of the country, thousands of passengers, hundreds if not more airplanes, both commercial passenger planes and of course cargo.
00:08:52
Speaker 1: Okay, and then real quick I would imagine that who the air traffic control controllers, Union and the airlines are putting a lot of russure on lawmakers to get this resolved because it's messing with their business.
00:09:05
Speaker 8: It is, and they are and you know, all the major airlines have said it's time to come up with a solution. We can't sustain this anymore. These people, you know, are not being paid. They don't have money for food. Some can't afford to pay for childcare, so that's another reason they're calling in. Some are driving for Uber and Lyft. Enough is enough, They need to be paid. They're already working a stressful job six days weeks, often ten hours a day, and when you add in the stress of not getting paid, it makes things only that much worse and that much more dangerous as the days go on.
00:09:34
Speaker 1: All right, ABC, Sam Sweeney, thanks so much for the information. Are going to keep an eye on this one.
00:09:42
Speaker 4: It is.
00:09:42
Speaker 1: I was very lucky because again I didn't have any delays. I was In fact, my flight into Portland was like a half an hour early. So but yeah, and with the holidays coming, I can't imagine that this thing is going to go on until Thanksgiving. But like, if they have to do those cancelations, then how far does it set you back in like how many days? Like if you cancel everything for a day. How many days does it take to catch up? Could be a real mess. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Democratic socialist Zooran Mamdani is projected to be the winner of New York City's mayor election. He's a head of independent candidate and former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
00:10:24
Speaker 4: Sliwa Donnie gave a victory speech in Brooklyn last night.
00:10:28
Speaker 6: In this new age we make for ourselves, we will refuse to allow those who traffic in division and hate to dept us against one another.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: President Trump has said before the election that he'd probably cut federal money to New York if Mondani wins. Other wins for Democrats last night include the race for governor of New Jersey. Mikey Cheryl beat Republican Jack Chitarelli. In Virginia, former US Representative Abigail Spanberger has been elected governor over Republican Lieutenant governor win some Earl Sears. Spanberger will become the first woman governor of the state. At least seven people have been killed in a ups plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky. The cargo plane crashed into a
petroleum facility, causing a massive fire. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg says it's believed that the three crew members on the plane were killed, along with several people on the ground.
00:11:21
Speaker 8: There were three crew members on the plane. The four that we have confirmed dead or not on the plane.
00:11:28
Speaker 4: The NTSB is investigating the crash.
00:11:31
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court will hill hear arguments today on whether President Trump's tariffs are legal. University of Chicago law professor Curtis Bradleys's issue is if an emergency law dating back to the nineteen seventies allows the president to impose certain tariffs without getting Congress to approve it.
00:11:48
Speaker 9: The core of.
00:11:49
Speaker 10: Their argument is that the imbalance in trade between the United States and other countries has created a national emergency for the economy and for national security, and these terriffs are a needed response.
00:12:01
Speaker 1: The case would have far reaching implications for the economy. The remains of another hostage in Gaza have been returned by Hamas. That brings the number of hostage bodies returned to twenty one. Seven have yet to be returned under the terms of the ceasefire. The Israeli military says staff Sergeant e Ti Chen was abducted by Hamas on October seventh and died when he fell off a tank. His death was confirmed by the IDEAF nearly six months later. Hospital officials in Gaza say they've received the bodies of fifteen Palestinians from Israel. That announcement brings the number of Palestinian bodies returned to Gaza to two hundred and eighty five. They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it may not actually be that important for grownups.
00:12:42
Speaker 9: A new study found that adults who skipped breakfast were just as capable of problem solving and paying attention as those who ate a meal. People who did miss a meal did perform a little worse while looking at pictures of food, which is kind of mean to do to test subjects and unlikely to happen in other settings. Children, on the other hands, still get a boost from breakfast. Study was published in the journal Psychological Bulletin. Mark Ronner KFI.
00:13:04
Speaker 1: News, Oh, Mark Ronner, I mean to showing pictures of food while they're testing them, I don't. I am a big believer in breakfast. I didn't used to be, but I like it. In fact, I'm gonna have smoke meal In just a moment. I was telling you about my alma mater, the football team, the Oregon State Beavers, and how bad they are this year. But they did get a win on Saturday. But someone hit me up on the talk back. Apparently I should be looking at things a little bit differently.
00:13:31
Speaker 10: Heymy be proud.
00:13:32
Speaker 1: The Oregon State Beavers are the PAC twelve champions.
00:13:35
Speaker 10: Maybe the other only other team in the pack golf, the washing Based State Cougars.
00:13:40
Speaker 8: So be proud.
00:13:42
Speaker 10: Oregon State is
the PACT champions.
00:13:45
Speaker 1: I am proud, and that's a very good point. But it's not even the PAC twelve anymore. It's the PAC two right now, and they may not be the champions because OSU and Washington State are going to play again on November twenty ninth, So it might end up being a tie with the way the Fevers are playing. I think that's probably more likely than not. LA Mayor Bass says she thinks the passage of Prop. Fifty is a check on President Trump. Now that the proposition has passed, congressional maps that favor Democrats will be used in next year's House races. For California, those maps will likely mean five more Democrats will go to Washington. The Orange County Board of Supervisors has adopted an ordinance that deals with clearing homeless camps in unincorporated areas. It'll allow the county to arrest and find homeless people. The ordinance follows the Supreme Court ruling from last year that lifted a previous ban on arresting people for sleeping in public spaces when no shelter beds were available. California has one of the highest tax burdens in the nation. A State Competitive Tax Index by the Tax Foundation says the burden is only higher in New Jersey and New York. The index is based on different rankings of taxes including income, corporate sales, property, and unemployment. At six oh five on the News, and let's just say, I bet what Bill's going to have a thing or two to say about the passage of Prop.
00:15:04
Speaker 4: Fifty.
00:15:06
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro.
00:15:12
Speaker 4: Good morning, Rich, Good morning to you.
00:15:15
Speaker 7: Amy.
00:15:15
Speaker 1: Okay, So Apple's got a new iPhone update and there's some fun little tricks I love.
00:15:23
Speaker 4: I love learning new tricks on my iPhone.
00:15:26
Speaker 11: Yes, and there are a few. And the number one question I get is do I do the update? And I know I've gotten a lot of emails from people saying, look, the last update messed up my battery life. I don't like the way it looks. But if you stop doing the updates now, you're not getting all the fixes. And this is a big one because it's iOS twenty six point one, so it's the biggest update since they came out with this new iOS liquid glass. But here's the funny thing. Apple is sort of admitting that liquid glass is not for everyone. So there is a new setting. If you hate liquid glass, there's a new setting under settings and then display it says liquid glass and you can now have a tinted mode that basically gets rid of the transparency. So if you don't like liquid glass and the way it's see through, go into your settings after you do the update, go into display and look for the new liquid glass option and change it to tinted.
00:16:17
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're basically saying you can go back to the old way because we may have screwed up on this one.
00:16:24
Speaker 11: They may have realized that not everyone likes everything to be see through because it can be tricky to see. So that's number one. A couple other little things. Number two is that you can turn off the lock screen camera swipe, so if you're always opening up the camera accidentally, you can turn that off for the first time ever. That's also in settings. I personally love that feature, so I'm not turning that off. And then there's a new slide to stop button instead of the old snooze button and stop so instead of tapping, now you have to slide to turn off your alarm completely, which you know is probably good for those folks like us.
00:17:01
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because I've done that before, where I just turn the whole thing off and then you're kind of in trouble.
00:17:07
Speaker 11: It's always my fear, I you know, I don't I've I've not done that in a long time, but it's always my fear every single night when I go to sleep. My god, I'm gonna turn off this alarm and I'm not gonna I'm never gonna wake up.
00:17:18
Speaker 1: So it's so it's a slide off kind of like when you want to power off, you have to slide same thing exactly.
00:17:23
Speaker 11: So it's like a little bit more work, which makes a lot of sense because you can easily reach over and like press pause, you know, or or stop by accident.
00:17:31
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
00:17:32
Speaker 1: Okay, so then we'll go from the Apple Phone over to the Apple Watch.
00:17:37
Speaker 4: What's up with that? Okay? I should say, what's happen?
00:17:40
Speaker 11: I see what you did there?
00:17:43
Speaker 8: I like it?
00:17:44
Speaker 11: Yeah, WhatsApp, you know, messaging app used by billions of people worldwide. I think is finally on the Apple Watch. Yes, people love What's Happen? I would I love it In theory, I wish everyone would use it because I think it's such a great messaging app because it is to ending cryptid, It supports messages, it supports calls, and now you can do all of that right from your wrist. I also think this is good for kids, because you know a lot of parents give their kids an Apple Watch with no phone, and so the fact that you can now have an option for messaging that's not just I message is also really nice. But basically Meta is saying that you could do pretty much everything you do on the app, you can now do from your wrist, which is much better than the previous method of Yes, you might be saying, Rich, I've always gotten WhatsApp notifications on my watch. Those were just notifications. This is like full support for the app, so it's all there. Go ahead and download it to the Apple Watch if you like WhatsApp, okay.
00:18:41
Speaker 1: And so it sounds to me like it's what I already do have with my Apple Watch, because I do get pictures and messages, and I can do emojis and stuff.
00:18:54
Speaker 11: With I message. But with WhatsApp, now you're getting full support for everything. So you can basically do everything you could do on the phone on the Apple Watch. And it's all still encrypted, which is really
nice.
00:19:05
Speaker 4: Okay, and you don't have to have the phone.
00:19:08
Speaker 11: Now, well, I mean if you have cellular. I mean obviously there's a whole nother yeah thing there.
00:19:12
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So we couldn't go a segment without talking about AI. And now we've got AI on a social media platform, and I'm just like going, I got to hear more about this because it sounds like it's just a fake social platform.
00:19:30
Speaker 11: Yes, I can't believe you haven't downloaded. You have an iPhone, You've had it for a month. This is Sora and I'm not kidding. When we first talked about this, and I think we talked about it, I didn't see the appeal. I was like, who is going to download an app like a social media app filled with deep fakes? And sure enough, it's actually quite entertaining. This called Sora. It's been available on the iPhone for a month now it is finally available on Android. So if you have an Android phone you've been wanting to try this Sora app, which is by the way, owned by Open which are the makers of CHATCHYBT. It's really cool because basically you can make short videos of anything you want within reason, and they can include your face and your voice. So it's just a whole other way of thinking about social media with these wild kind of circumstances, and you see your friends in them, and so I mean, me and my kids just sit there and we make them. And sure, it's scary that it's all your likeness, but it's also really interesting what it does.
00:20:27
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's sort of like a high tech version of JibJab.
00:20:32
Speaker 11: Oh my, look at you. Yeah, it's basically an AI version of JibJab, except you know, your mouth actually moved. It looks like you like, Okay, I just sit there and I make videos of like the wildest stuff, and I'm just like, Okay, that's interesting. It's not one hundred percent perfect, but it's definitely fun. And you don't need an invite anymore. You used to need an invite to get on this thing. So if you want Sora on your iPhone or Android, go ahead and get it and see what the craze is all about.
00:20:56
Speaker 1: Okay, I think I might have to check it out, just because it just it also freaks me up because, like you said, there's nothing real about it.
00:21:02
Speaker 11: It's all ai no, and it takes you a second to realize. You're like, oh my gosh, people put themselves in these situations.
00:21:09
Speaker 1: Oh it's fake, and so it's fun fake, okay. Host of rich on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter, Rich Dmiro. You can find out what we've been talking about on his website rich on Tech dot tv, basically everything that he talks about. You can follow him on Instagram at rich on Tech, watch him on KTLA. Hear him right here on rich on Tech every Saturday from eleven to two.
00:21:33
Speaker 4: Thank you, Rich damiro Bye, Amy. All right, talk to you later.
00:21:39
Speaker 1: Voters in California have approved Proposition fifty. The yes vote is sixty four to thirty
five percent now, with almost seventy percent of district's precincts reporting. Brought fifty will establish new congressional district maps for the twenty twenty six, twenty eight, and thirty elections in favor of Democrats. The Democrats already have a forty three to nine advantage in the state's House delegation. The Supreme Court's going to hear arguments on whether or not President Trump's tariffs are legal. The Court fast tracked the cases. Billions of dollars in tariffs hang in the balance. The tariffs will stay in place until the Court makes its decision. President Trump had said that he might go watch arguments today, but has changed his mind, saying it would just be a distraction. Amazon is getting in on the bargain Thanksgiving dinner game. It's going to offer a twenty five dollars Thanksgiving dinner for five starting November twelfth. It includes an eight pound butterball, frozen turkey, plus stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean castrole I Love a good green bean castrole, pumpkin pie, and more. Walmart says it's also offering It's Thanksgiving meal basket that'll feed ten people for forty dollars. At six oh five, it's handle on the news President Trump blaming election losses on the government shutdown and due to the fact that he is not on the balloti au itamis.
00:23:05
Speaker 4: What am I on?
00:23:05
Speaker 1: I'm on the stream because there is so much on the stream.
00:23:08
Speaker 4: How do you possibly decide what you're going to watch?
00:23:13
Speaker 1: There's TV shows, there's documentaries, there's series, there's movies. And this week I'm taking my recommendation from Joel Larsgard, the host of How To Money, because.
00:23:23
Speaker 4: We were talking and he said, oh, I got Netflix.
00:23:26
Speaker 1: We were talking about those subscriptions that you just keep paying for and whether you're getting your money out of them, and he said, you ordered Netflix just for this show, but he hadn't watched it yet. So I thought, well, I need to know what this show is if it prompted Joel Larsgard to spend money. It's called Crash Landing on You. It's on Netflix again. It's a Korean series from back in twenty nineteen, so I'm not sure where he got wind of it, but I thought well, I better, I better give it a look, okay, So and I go tell you it's it's.
00:23:57
Speaker 4: A Korean series.
00:23:58
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the names and listening, and they with the subtitles, the names don't sound to my ears like they look, so I believe that there it's Dijanyo and you and Sinri, which are the main characters. She is a successful businesswoman in South Caro Korea. He is a captain in the North Korean Army. So she at the very beginning is testing out one of her new lines of clothing. So she goes parasailing. She gets sucked into a storm, and where does she land in North Korea, which sets off a whole set of circumstances and predicaments.
00:24:38
Speaker 4: He wants to take her in.
00:24:41
Speaker 1: Because she runs into him while she's sitting in a tree, thinking she's probably some kind of a spy. She tries to run away, and then she does, and then they keep crashing into each other, crash landing on You get it.
00:24:56
Speaker 4: A very charming cast.
00:24:58
Speaker 1: Of characters who you come to know and love, and in some instances you do really dislike some of the characters, but that's it's meant that way, right, there's soldiers, there's people from a village in North Korea. There's fiances, families, employees, and they all grow on.
00:25:15
Speaker 4: You as they move through the series.
00:25:17
Speaker 1: And I had initially thought it was like a Hallmark movie on steroids, but I'm going to amend that because I think that that's what Virgin River is. So this is more like Virgin River on steroids. So there's a little more drama, there's some more violence, so it's not all happy, happy, joy joy. I loved it. It's a fun watch a couple of things. Each episode is like one and a half hours. I don't know who decided that, but the episodes are long, but that's okay, And there are sixteen episodes, so it's a commitment. It's like an old time TV show where there's a ton of episodes instead of just.
00:25:51
Speaker 4: Six or eight.
00:25:52
Speaker 1: And it's all subtitled and there's a lot of dialogue, so you got to pay attention.
00:25:57
Speaker 4: And so what I'm binging shows, I tend to like move around.
00:26:00
Speaker 1: I'm multitask, so I had to keep rewinding and rewinding and rewatching because you didn't want to miss.
00:26:07
Speaker 4: The dialogue, which is part of the storytelling.
00:26:09
Speaker 1: So when you watch, maybe take a bite sized piece instead of trying to binge it like I did, and know that you really do need to park yourself on the couch and pay attention because again, subtitles totally on this. I think you should be too. It's called crash Landing on You and it's on Netflix. Time to get in your business now with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegriney Morning.
00:26:30
Speaker 5: Denise, Good morning Amy. Did crash Landing on You make you cry?
00:26:35
Speaker 8: It did?
00:26:36
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
00:26:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what everybody is saying. Of course, it's banned in North Korea, so that's something else to think about as you watch this that you know it's about people connecting in spite of their governments, right, but people in North Korea can't even watch it.
00:26:51
Speaker 4: So that's too bad.
00:26:52
Speaker 1: It's a fun show and it's lovely, but yeah, it does, you know, it shows the differences between the North and the South and that so I get that. I guess I don't get it personally, but I could see why North Korea wouldn't want their people to see it. Yeah, all right, let's have business, shall we. Let's talk about Dodgers.
00:27:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a whole new economic ecosystem scoring a home run, you might say, on the.
00:27:15
Speaker 4: Back of the Dodgers victory.
00:27:18
Speaker 5: Of course,
the Dodgers now fork has to be the first team to exceed two hundred million dollars in annual sponsorship revenue.
00:27:25
Speaker 4: That's according to sponsor United.
00:27:26
Speaker 5: In others, that is understandable considering their victory and just the whole you know, critical mass of amazing players that the Dodgers have. Also, the win is a win for all the hotels, restaurants and bars getting a lot of extra business. We knew that already, no surprise, the jerseys are popular. Then there's the other apparel. Champion T shirts could see a huge boost in sales and prices on Shohei Otani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Playing cards are spiking pretty much any card, yeah, with either of them as selling for more than it was couple weeks ago. So check out what you've got on the shelf, in the closet, in the attic might be worth way more than you think. Course, Mia I was thinking you could wait till next year if you've got some of these, when the Dodgers win again and the three price on some of those Dodgers baseball cards could go up even more.
00:28:16
Speaker 1: All right, let's look at holiday toys and what Mattel is doing.
00:28:22
Speaker 5: They say that they have holiday gifts this year for people looking in just about every price point. They're aware of the bifurcation in the economy, you know, the whole thing with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poor, and the government shutdown isn't helping either.
00:28:36
Speaker 4: They've got a Hot.
00:28:37
Speaker 5: Wheels car for a dollar twenty five and they also have a seven hundred dollars Hot Wheels set, so they're kind of pitching two investors that they're ready for this holiday season. CEO says that Mattel does expect to see demand pick up now that they're getting closer to the holidays. And speaking of movies, Yes, yeah, K Pop Demon Hunter's toys this holiday season. People really want them. It's been just a massive, unexpected hit for Netflix. But apparently retailers and toymakers fail to anticipate how much people would love the movie amy, meaning we will likely see a wave of K Pop Demon Hunter toys next holiday season instead of in a couple months. Of course, for Netflix, it's not a huge problem. In fact, it's the reverse because K Pop Demon Hunter toys next year just means more free advertising for whatever streaming spinoffs. Part twos they have planned is they try to turn K Pop Demon Hunters into a long term franchise, which they have already said they're going to do.
00:29:36
Speaker 1: All right, and we'll be watching and we'll be buying. I'm sure, well, I don't know that I'm going to buy it K Pop Demon Hunters doll but maybe they have the packs of three they're supposed.
00:29:45
Speaker 4: To be coming out early next year.
00:29:47
Speaker 1: Get in your business every day like we do with Bloomberg's Denise Pelagrene. We'll do it again tomorrow. Thanks Denise to you. Then, California is getting new voting districts.

LA County officials looking into setting up buffer zones around social services and other county buildings.

The body of an Army private killed in a skydiving accident will be taken in a procession from John Wayne Airport to the First United Methodist Church of Costa Mesa today.

On the news this morning, how the state changed the rules that allows insurance companies not to cover your home. Let's say good morning now to the director of pr and Marketing for Pasadena Humane. It's Kevin McManus. Good morning, Kevin, Good morning, Amy.
00:31:00
Speaker 8: How are you.
00:31:01
Speaker 4: I'm great.
00:31:02
Speaker 1: So, Kevin, you want a pet, you don't want to deal with potty training, the chewed up shoes and puppies tearing everything up.
00:31:09
Speaker 4: Thank goodness. It's National Senior Pet Adoption Month.
00:31:13
Speaker 8: That's right.
00:31:13
Speaker 12: Yeah, some of my favorite pets are well the seniors for sure.
00:31:18
Speaker 1: Okay, So tell us about what Pasadena Humane is doing for the Pet Adoption Month.
00:31:24
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:31:24
Speaker 12: Well, in honor of the month, we're waving adoption fees for any animal over five years old. So that's dogs, cats, And I was just looking on our website. We even have a turtle this morning who's ten, so he would be no charge adoption this month.
00:31:39
Speaker 4: How long do turtles live?
00:31:42
Speaker 12: They can learn quite a long time. He's probably only hit in midlife right now.
00:31:45
Speaker 1: Okay, and at a very slow pace, at a very slow pace.
00:31:49
Speaker 4: Okay.
00:31:49
Speaker 1: So tell us in what kind of dogs do you have available? And maybe ones that are especially good for potential adoptions because they're no longer puppies.
00:32:00
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean we have, you know, a pretty wide variety right now. We have a fifteen year old beagle who's breaking my heart, and you know, mostly bigger dogs, but of course we have cats as well, So yeah, a good just you know, a good variety, okay.
00:32:19
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking of because after being to Pasadena Humane so many times, which I love going seeing all the pups and cats like I've seen, like there are huskies, and when huskies are puppies, they tend to be a little out of control, so you have to have a lot of patience in time with them. And so if you get an adult dog, maybe some of some of that puppy's been worked out of them.
00:32:42
Speaker 12:
Absolutely and you know, not to say that they wouldn't still be energetic.
00:32:46
Speaker 4: But they are.
00:32:47
Speaker 12: Yeah, that that crazy stage is as well past them.
00:32:52
Speaker 9: And I think you.
00:32:53
Speaker 12: Know a lot of a lot of animals, are a lot of dogs in particular, end up in shelters because of behavior issues. You not going to have a behavior issue with a twelve year old dog. They just want to like hang out next to you on the couch and go for a couple of walks a day and just chill. So great companionship without all of the hard the hard work.
00:33:12
Speaker 4: Okay.
00:33:12
Speaker 1: And when when you adopt through pasading and humane they they're pretty much primed and ready for adoption.
00:33:18
Speaker 4: What do you do before they head out the door?
00:33:21
Speaker 12: Yeah, any kind of medical that is required, So you know, if they're not neutered for whatever reason, then we're taking care of that. We're making sure they're up to date on vaccines, and generally with our senior pets, we're doing you know, like at least an initial blood panel. Just make sure that you know, we know as much about the pet as we can before rehoming.
00:33:43
Speaker 4: Okay, And.
00:33:45
Speaker 1: I was just thinking you mentioned like the older beagle, and I would think one of the drawbacks. Drawbacks is that you don't get as long with the animals. So what's your argument for adopting an older animal?
00:33:59
Speaker 12: You know, I don't know cap with them. Yeah, that's that's absolutely true. But you know, I think, you know, the stars for every day I have with all of the pets that I've had in my life, and you know, if it's you know, a week that I have with them or you know, years, it's all blessing. And you know, it doesn't take much to make a really old dog or a really old cat really really happy, and so you're giving them quite a gift by adopting them and making them part of your home for however long.
00:34:34
Speaker 5: They have least.
00:34:35
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you that I now have a second cat named Shelby. I got my first cat, Alex, from Pasadena, I mean, and then we added Shelby to the family, and she was eleven when I got her, and she is just an absolute joy. I love love having her. And I think about it too, because I'm like, oh, I might not have her for you know, eighteen or nineteen years, but I get her for four or five years, or six or seven years, or who knows how long get her but she's just a joy. So if you're thinking about adopting exactly, maybe go the adult route and you can get it in Pasadena Humanes waving all the fees and that's all month.
00:35:09
Speaker 12: Long, that's correct, Yeah, all right?
00:35:12
Speaker 1: And where do we go and find get some pictures of pets or where do.
00:35:15
Speaker 4: We go visit?
00:35:17

00:36:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, older cat.
00:36:20
Speaker 4: Oh I did it with cats and they were just great.
00:36:22

Democrats have scored decisive victories and key races around the country, including in a historic win for Zoorron Mamdanni, the next mayor of New York City. ABC's Rick Clein says the races weren't even close.
00:36:38
Speaker 13: Double digit defeats for Republicans in Virginia, where they still have a pretty popular incumbent Republican governor, double digits in New Jersey, and the rise of Zoron Mamdannie, who was able to defeat some of the biggest names in New York or national politics.

00:37:19
Speaker 3: Twice a year, for two weeks at a time. Restaurants pay the La Tourism and Convention Board to be part of dine La, which markets the businesses in a big campaign. Councilman Isabelle Herodo says she looked for restaurants in her district that participated, and we.

Speaker 1: More pet owners are becoming anti vaxers when it comes to their animals.
00:37:53
Speaker 14: Recent survey says at least twenty two percent of dog owners and twenty six percent of cat owners could be classified as vaccine has. Some pet owners even say vaccines could lead to autism in their pets, calling it pautism. Dogs can display autistic traits like repetitive actions or communication issues, but autism is not a recognized diagnosis for knines. The anti vax group, founded by Health Secretary RFK Junior, recently published a book saying pet vaccines caused tremendous harm. Experts say a loosening of animal vax laws will cause a resurgence of infectious diseases in both pets and people. Michael Krozer KFI News.
