You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio.

App KFI and kost HD two Los Angeles, So Orange County, it's time.

For your morning wake up call.

Here's Amy King.

It is five o'clock, straight up. This is your wake up call for Wednesday, November sixth. Good morning, I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Quite a day, huh. You just never know how things are going to shake out. Still lots of counting to be done in California. We're

A magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again.

Trump called it the greatest political movement of all time and vowed to keep his campaign promises. The economy and immigration were his biggest issues. Vice President Harris did not speak to supporters at her Alma monitor in Washington, d C. As previously planned.

You won't hear from the Vice President tonight.

Has campaign co chair Cedric Richmond addressed the crowd last night, saying there were still votes to count.

We still have states that have not been called yet. We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken.

Some supporters were in tears as they left the event. Richmond says Harris will be back at Howard University to speak today. Nathan Hackman has defeated George Gascon in the race for La County District Attorney.

More than five hundred people showed up here at Hawkman's watch party in Beverly Hills. His son spoke first, followed by his wife, then brother who introduced him.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to bring up what I know will be the next district attorney of Los Angeles County.

Let's hear it from my brother, Nathan Hackman.

The crowd Tuesday night was filled with a lot of current former prosecutors from the DA's office, along with first responders, donors, volunteers, and victims of crime. In Beverly Hill, Steve Gregory, King of I.

Knew Akman got more than sixty one percent of the vote. Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff is one election to the US Senate. He meet former Dodgers player Steve Garvey. With more than fifty seven percent of the vote, shift will fill the Senate seat long held by the late Senator Dianne Feinstein. Republicans have taken control of the US Senate. The unexpected

Yeah, well, they've shaped up in the sense that Pennsylvania has been called for Donald Trump. This is, you know, a state that went for Joe Biden by a darrow margin about four and a half percent in twenty twenty, and it obviously went for Donald Trump in twenty sixteen. In both twenty sixteen and this time around seen as kind of the critical state here with nineteen electoral votes. This was not exactly the states that put Donald Trump over that two hundred and seventy electoral vote number that

Okay, and Mike, they they got these votes counted pretty quickly. I know that we had talked earlier about we might not know for days, maybe not for a week, but everything seemed to run pretty smoothly yesterday.

Yeah, I mean we knew the Pennsylvania results. I mean we were up late, of course, but we would have been anyway. But you know, it did not take the days long period of time that you know, some were indicating. The local elections officials say that they put a lot of work into making sure that the process went a lot more smoothly this time around. Obviously, four years ago, we were waiting five days for an election result out of Pennsylvania. The Saturday after Election Day, in fact, was

Okay, and Mike, you just mentioned what I was going to ask you about, whether it's too early to tell kind of what made the difference and what you know caused that. We know that the more urban and some of the suburban areas tend to vote more democratic, the more rural areas tend to go more Republican. But what was the shift?

What made yeah? I mean, look, so Pennsylvania is basically a big square if you think about it in your mind, and there's kind of two Democratic strongholds on either side of the state. That's Philadelphia in the east, in Pittsburgh in the west, and of course they're sort of surrounding suburban areas. In the middle of the state, it's relatively rural.

And did you get a chance yesterday while you were cruising around Bucks County to talk to any of the voters.

Yeah, I did. And you know, we have some exit polling ABC News has put out there about sort of national sentiment and what things that voters had in mind when they were voting. The big issues this election cycle. One of them democracy protecting democracy was at the top of this exit poll. Next to that was the economy. Then a little further down the list was abortion and immigration. And Amy, I have to tell you that absolutely showed

This election cycle.

Interesting, all right. Well, the votes are still being counted, we have some we still have some House races to be decided, we still have some Senate races to be decided. And we appreciate you giving us the information to help sort through everything. Appreciate it a lot. Mike Debuski, have a great day.

You toering you Take care, all right, take care.

Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KMFI twenty four hour newsroom. Two congressional races in Orange County, which could decide what party controls the House may not be called four days.

The first is a tight race between incumbent Republican Congresswoman Michelle Steele and Democrat Derek Tran.

When I became a lawyer, I decided to fight on behalf of consumers and workers who were being taken advantage of by big corporations.

Steele says her proven record includes fighting tax increases and the Chinese Communist Party.

I worked really hard to hold the CCP accountable.

You know, China is a bit of thretch to the United States.

The other type race is a battle between former Republican Assemblyman Scott Baw and State Senator Dave men at the Republican Watch party in Newport Beach. Corbin Carson kf I.

News Democrat Sarah McBride is one the US House rates in Delaware, making her the first openly transperson to serve in Congress. She was elected to the Delaware State Senate in twenty twenty. The LAPD says it's investigating several Jewish owned businesses being vandalized in the Pico Robertson neighborhood. Officers responded to calls of potential hate crimes on Pico Boulevard yesterday morning. Belisse A businesses were vandalized with graffiti and

Hey, good morning to you Amy.

Okay, so it looks like Elon Musk's gamble on Trump pays off. Trump called him a super genius last night.

Yeah, he did. And just in general, when you take a look at the tech industry when it comes to Trump, they may not like him, but they probably do like his policies. So when we look at the tech industry, much of it supported Kamala Harris. Employees of Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft all donated millions of dollars to the Harris campaign. Not so much to Trump, but his policies. When it

I invested in that. It's worth about two cents.

I was going to say, so hopefully the Department of Government Efficiency will be better than that, because that kind of turned out to be a joke. But yeah, we saw Trump or sorry, Elon Musk tweeted. I mean he was obviously at the event last night. Like you said, Trump called him a super genius, and then he tweeted Musk Elon Musk tweeted a picture of himself carrying the kitchen sink, the one from the Twitter merger, and he said, you know, imagine this, I let that sink in. I

Yeah, I got it. I got it. I got it. And then the former president's election or is it a re election and now apparently is voting well for bitcoin.

Yeah, because here's the deal. So bitcoin has been generally up over the past year. I think it's been up about fifteen percent overall. But obviously Trump winning. Trump has

Okay, So let's move off to stuff other than the election.

Oh, is there anything?

Well, yes, because the world still moves on. Amazon has drones and it has approval to fly them, but not here yet in Arizona.

What's going on with that Arizona? So they got approval for their new drone, the MK thirty. This is their delivery drone which they're going to launch in Arizona, and so it's smaller, quieter than previous models. Apparently people didn't like how loud the other one was. It can fly in light rain, it's got double the range of earlier versions, and the FAA gave it approval for deliveries that are

Is that a little town.

I'm guessing I've never heard of it me either, but it's near Phoenix, so there's a warehouse out there. You know. Amazon doesn't typically build their warehouses in the middle of big cities because obviously that's very expensive, so they put them just outside, like here in La it's like mostly in San Bernardino area. So yeah, we'll see. I mean, look, this is something that I'll never forget watching sixty Minutes.

Yeah. I just think if drones start hitting the skies, I mean, imagine how many there's going to be just buzzing around all the time.

Yeah, it just it doesn't seem like it could be a very efficient way of delivering things like in theory. Yes, okay, you're delivering like a package to someone's house, passing all the traffic. But in reality, they are doing so many deliveries on a daily basis. How in the world can you have this many drones? And by the way, these drones probably can't hold more than one or two deliveries of it, right.

So they're going back and forth and back and forth. And like if Amazon has a warehouse, like you said, out in the Inland Empire, they have to go back and forth and back and forth all the time.

Yeah, but you know, this is not the only company that's trying to do this. You've got Walmart that's trying it. You've got Alphabet, you know Google's parent company. They've got something called Wing that's trying it. You've got ups that's trying it. I mean, everyone wants to try to see if we can have a more efficient delivery method. But I think this is going to be a very long road because it just it doesn't make a lot of sense in maybe in urban places, but especially I don't know,

Arizona's kind of cutting edge on this kind of stuff. I remember when I was there years ago and they were already they had robocars buzzing around when nobody else did.

Yeah, Arizona is very favorable to this kind of So it is California, actually, I mean they've been. California has actually been pretty favorable to the self driving car situation. You see it here, you see it there in Nevada as well, so we'll see this stuff is progressing.

Yeah, I don't think I've seen a self driving car in California yet.

In La the way most they're everywhere.

I've never seen one.

Oh my gosh, they're all over. It's mostly in sort of Santa Monica.

That explains it, I know, and go to Santa Monica.

There you go. But yeah, they're all over Santa Monica the area. They just expanded the area. It doesn't go to the valley yet, but it's it's a lot more of Hollywood. Like I can get one ordered right here to the station in Hollywood, and so you know, they're they're expanding. And here's the funny thing. It's not much cheaper than an uber like I have the app the Waymo app, it's it should be like fifty percent less driver yeah, exactly, but it's not okay.

Well for this and much more on tech You can listen to Rich on Tech every Saturday from eleven am to two pm right here on KFI. You can also watch him on KTLA. You can follow him on Instagram at rich on Tech in his website where he puts all of the stuff that he talks about on so you can peruse it and refer back to it. Richontech dot TV. Thank you, Rich dmiro all.

Right, I sent a social media video taking your first ride in the way mow, just saying okay, we'll see you and Nick.

Me screaming the whole way all right, thanks so much, Rich. Voters in California have overwhelmingly supported a bill to increase punishment for some crimes. Prop thirty six has the support of roughly seventy percent of voters. The measure will roll back some of Prop. Forty seven, which was approved by voters back in twenty fourteen, and changes the California Criminal Code to charge certain drug possession and thefts under nine

Kevin Dalleon is looking for a second term representing downtown in Eastern LA neighborhoods like Boyle Heights at City Hall, but he's been trailing challenger Isabelle Herados since District fourteen numbers started to roll in last night. Daily Ona said he expects there's enough outstanding votes to close that gap. Meanwhile, incumbent Heather Hutt has built a strong lead over challenger Grace u and District ten in mid city Koreatown West

News voters in California are going to have to wait for the final results of some races in the state.

That's because a state bill now gives all voters a standard December first deadline to fix and return their ballot signatures. Orange County Registrar Bob Page says the bill could delay results of tight races. Page says local elections are more likely to be impacted.

In twenty two general election, we had three local contests, a couple city councils, a school board where the difference between somebody who got on the governing board and somebody who didn't was less than ten votes.

Prior to the bill, counties could have different deadlines for voters to fix their ballots. Bills author says he wanted to clear up any confusion. Blake Tchorlei k if I News.

The LA Board of Police Commissioners has approved a four hundred and fifty thousand dollars salary for Jim McDonald, who's expected to be confirmed as the next chief of the LAPD. The salary approval by the board yesterday is below the five hundred and seventy five hundred seven thousand they could have approved. City official save McDonald will likely get pay raises each year. The city council will make the final approval. Congressman Adam Schiff will become California's next US Senator, filling

Aamie's on it, Aami's on, Amy's on it, Damien's on it.

What am I on? I'm on the stream? Movies, documentaries series. Sometimes they go to movies. Sometimes it's even books, but a lot of times it's on the stream because there's so much out there, and how do you know what to watch, Like if you just go flip through the channels, there's like a Grazillian things. Well, I decided I actually was planning on being on something else, but then it was election day and I was thinking about that movie that Kristen Dunst was in that I didn't go see

This was, I believe the greatest political movement of all time. There's ever been anything like this in this country and maybe beyond.

The Associated Press called Wisconsin for Trump early this morning. That put him over the top for the two hundred and seventy Electoral College votes he needed to win. Vice President Harris was at two hundred and twenty four. Republican Jim Justice has been elected to the US Senate, defeating Democrat Glenn Elliott and flipping a seat in West Virginia.

This is for the seat that was occupied for a couple of terms by Joe Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, who's decided not to run for re election this year.

ABC Stephen Portnoy says Senate Democrats are on defense in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada. It marks the first time since nineteen fifty eight that both of West Virginia senators will be Republicans. Justice is a two term governor and former billionaire who owns dozens of businesses. Nathan Hockman has cautiously declared victory

You have been right there doing justice for the residents of this county with your hands tied behind your back, and I'm here to tell you your hands will no longer be tied.

Hakman says on day one he will reverse most of what he calls George Gascone's radical pro criminal policies in favor of the law and the rights of victims. A red alert fire warning has been issued for parts of southern California because of gusty sant Ana wins.

Those wins can create very dry, dangerous conditions that could accelerate a fire if it's sparked. National Weather Service spokesman Chandler Price says the Santa Anna foothills and inland Orange County will be the breeziest.

We have an area of low pressure moving into the Great Basin and what this is leading to is dusty east to north winds.

He says people should avoid having any outdoor fires until the winds die down. The red flag warning is in effect until tomorrow. Chris Adler KFI news.

Former federal prosecutor Nathan Hafckman is leading the race for Ella County DA by a wide margin. As of late last night, Hawkman has sixty one percent of the vote. Incumbent George Gascon has about thirty eight percent of the vote. Hawkman has vowed to undo many of Gascone's progressive policies that he calls soft on crime. Two congressional races are too close to call. His votes continue to be counted

Yeah, it all eyes said, We're all looking at California to see what happens out there to see who will be controlling the House. As far as the Senate goes, the Republicans had almost a clean sweep in the Senate

That's a whole lot of money. Is already like a former government or a lawmaker?

Or is he?

Where'd he come from?

He's in Congress right now. He was, Yeah, he played football at Baylor University. He then went on to play professional football, I believe, for the Tennessee Titans. And then you know, he had an injury, and he finished his law degree, became an attorney, and then decided to run for office and for Congress, and almost immediately said, yeah, this is great being in the House, but I want to be in the Senate. So I'm going to challenge Ted Cruise got to o' rock six years ago, you

Oh wow, that's yeah, that's a lot higher than anybody expected. I think wondering what this says about Texas that the it used to be a kind of solidly read but Ted Cruz has had a couple of pretty strong runs for his money lately.

Well he has, you know, he's really I mean, he put them both down, and even more so yesterday than sixty years ago. But a lot of people are moving to Texas from elsewhere. It's the fastest growing population in the old Country and centered in places like Austin and Houston and Dallas Fort Worth. Those places have been kind of reliably blue. So if they were to grow enough, I suppose and people moving in from California, New York other places that are a little more left leaning than

Well, it sounds like the reverse of California. So you mentioned that the California is it? The two that I mentioned that are the twenty seventh Congressional district Mike Garcia and George Whiteside's And then also in Orange County it's Michelle Steele who's leading Derek Tran. But man, it's close. So Michelle Steele at last check was up three thousand votes over Derek Tran. In the twenty seventh district, Mike Garcia, again the incumb was leading by only three hundred votes.

Well there, and it's really going to determine the balance of power in Washington. Will it be a split Congress as it is now? You know, Trump will be pretty easy for him to make nominations to his cabinet, for example, they have to go through the nominating process and the

Yeah. And then what we're talking about the balance. What I was hearing last night, but again then I had to go to bed, But what I was hearing last night is it was looking like that the Republicans were going to lose the House. But that's still it's still up in the air.

It is, Yes, Yeah, which would be really surprising if this were to happen, so the Republican sees can at the Senate and lose control of the House, it'd be a split Congress like that, that kind of a breakout hasn't happened in a long time, that you'd have that complete slip in the two houses.

Okay, well, we'll be watching while they count because I know they don't they don't have to certify or they don't certify the election in California until December third.

Oh wow, Well, you know we all said we're going to be waiting up all night and waiting, I know, two or three days for the presidential Well, no, it was pretty much settled last night.

Yeah. I went to sleep last night. I stayed up way too late. I don't know if you guys did stay up way too late, but still went to sleep. And then when I woke up in the middle of the night, I was turned on the TV and went, oh, they called it, And I was surprised because I didn't think it'd be for a while. Okay, Jim Ryan, thank you so much. Always a pleasure. We'll talk to you soon.

Thank yous y.

All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Yep, we got more elections stuff for you. Voters in La County have agreed to a sales tax increase and possibly a larger board of suitsers.

Meguie would put the special sales tax at half a cent, doubling the current quartercent sales tax into voting more of that revenue to homeless services. It was pushed hard by some of the largest nonprofits in the county, who warned without it, people who have been taken off the streets

Michael Monks KFI.

News, there's a new DA in La County. I'm Steve Gregory in Beverly Hills. Nathan Hawkman says he looks forward to restoring accountability, credibility, and trust in the DA's office. Something Hawkman says, George Gasconn ruined by my day.

What what you will see is not a DA disregarding the collectively thousands of years of experience.

Hundreds of supporters showed up last night here at Hawkman's watch party. Most of the crowd was filled with first responders, volunteers, donors, victims of crime and prosecuted from the DA's office in Beverly Hills. Steve Gregory KINGFIE News.

Police in Washington, d C. Have arrested a man at the US Capitol building. They say the man tried to get into the building yesterday, and officers say they smelled fuel in his backpack. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said it's not clear if the man was planning to light himself or items in his backpack on fire.

We found a flare gun, a lighter, and a torch lighter in his jacket.

He says there's no initial indication that it had anything to do with the election. A man in Anaheim has been charged with sexually assaulting two girls he's related to. Police in Anaheim say the man is charged with attacking one of the girls between twenty ten to twenty eighteen, and then the other in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen. Billie say the girls are now sixteen and nineteen years old.
