WEBVTT - Wake Up Call 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:04.680 You're listening to KFI AM640 Wake Up Call with me, 0:00:04.860 --> 0:00:08.219 Amy King, on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 0:00:09.740 --> 0:00:10.100 What? 0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:14.720 It's that time already? Yes, it is. It's 5 o'clock 0:00:14.810 --> 0:00:17.189 straight up. This is your Wake Up Call for Monday, 0:00:17.270 --> 0:00:21.530 October 19th. Good morning. I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere 0:00:21.590 --> 0:00:24.050 on the iHeartRadio app, so you can listen to us 0:00:24.270 --> 0:00:27.170 any old time, whether it's on the radio or on 0:00:27.210 --> 0:00:29.670 the stream. We're here for you. Hope you had a 0:00:29.690 --> 0:00:34.010 great weekend. Finally cooling down. But not so much that 0:00:34.030 --> 0:00:38.110 I'm not wearing shorts today. It's October 19th, and it's 0:00:38.150 --> 0:00:39.670 still a shorts day, right? 0:00:40.170 --> 0:00:40.510 Weird. 0:00:41.970 --> 0:00:44.699 So this weekend, on Friday, I told you I was 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:46.940 going to go to the Alta Art Fair. And so 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.820 we went there on Saturday. And it's a bunch of 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.080 artists who got together, and they have a fair every 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.480 year now, unfortunately, because of the fires. They used to 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.900 do a different kind of get-together there. but now they're 0:00:59.910 --> 0:01:02.639 doing the Alta Art Fair. And it was so great. Like, 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.000 it's so fun just to see artisans. And I did 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:10.200 discover and purchased a couple of treasures for Christmas. I know, 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.830 too soon. But I like to plan early. So anyway, 0:01:14.970 --> 0:01:17.450 support local. That's what I say. And it's really cool 0:01:17.470 --> 0:01:20.470 to see Altadena. It's a beautiful little town. And I 0:01:20.510 --> 0:01:25.310 know that the rebuilding is slow, but it's happening. So 0:01:25.350 --> 0:01:26.949 it's kind of cool to see that. But it's also 0:01:26.990 --> 0:01:30.709 very sad just to see just, These burned out properties 0:01:30.750 --> 0:01:34.030 that are still there. They haven't rebuilt and been able to. 0:01:34.090 --> 0:01:35.550 I wish they would speed that up. And I'm sure 0:01:35.569 --> 0:01:38.940 the people in Altadena certainly wish for that too. But anyway, 0:01:38.950 --> 0:01:41.860 I hope you had a fun weekend and maybe discovered 0:01:41.890 --> 0:01:43.880 something cool like I did at the Alta Hall of Fair. 0:01:45.300 --> 0:01:50.720 Let's get to it. Here's what's ahead on Wake Up Call. 0:01:50.780 --> 0:01:54.080 Firefighters have cut lines around 60% of the fire burning 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.260 in San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano. The fire that 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:01.590 started Friday afternoon forced Thousands of evacuations, all those evacuation 0:02:01.630 --> 0:02:04.550 orders have now been lifted. That happened about six o'clock 0:02:04.610 --> 0:02:09.050 last night. The fire has burned 570 acres. Seven homes 0:02:09.130 --> 0:02:12.010 were destroyed. The Santa Ana winds have moved out and 0:02:12.050 --> 0:02:15.450 red flag warnings have been canceled. Public safety power shutoffs 0:02:15.710 --> 0:02:19.570 also ended and parking restrictions in fire prone areas have 0:02:19.610 --> 0:02:22.889 been lifted. Cooler temperatures are on the way with rain 0:02:22.990 --> 0:02:27.710 possible by midweek. President Trump is in Kansas today. Campaigning 0:02:27.750 --> 0:02:32.489 for Republican Senator Roger Marshall, he continues his cross-country barnstorming 0:02:32.510 --> 0:02:35.390 to try to get Republicans to get out and vote 0:02:35.530 --> 0:02:38.510 with just over two weeks until the election. President Trump 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.900 has also given his endorsement to a candidate halfway around 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.519 the world. ABC's Jordana Miller is going to bring us 0:02:45.540 --> 0:02:49.320 the latest from Jerusalem in less than five minutes. October 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.160 is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And there's something that you 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.380 can do to help your friends, your family members, and 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.700 anyone who might be affected by that nasty disease. We're 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.919 going to be talking with the Komen Foundation's Nisa Jaime 0:03:02.940 --> 0:03:05.410 to find out what that is. An interview that literally 0:03:05.430 --> 0:03:09.170 could save your life. And flying cars are here. ABC's 0:03:09.210 --> 0:03:11.290 Mike Dubosky is going to tell us more about Elon 0:03:11.310 --> 0:03:16.110 Musk's latest and greatest. Did you see the demonstration that 0:03:16.150 --> 0:03:19.050 he did? Like that was just like something out of 0:03:19.070 --> 0:03:21.940 the Jetsons or something. And if you're not quite ready 0:03:21.980 --> 0:03:24.560 to fly, what trucks are red hot in the marketplace? 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.870 They're flying off car lots. That's coming up on Wake 0:03:28.889 --> 0:03:31.130 Up Call a little bit later. Let's get started with 0:03:31.150 --> 0:03:33.950 some of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. 0:03:34.350 --> 0:03:37.770 A brush fire that has burned 146 acres in Malibu 0:03:37.870 --> 0:03:39.690 is now 74% surrounded. 0:03:39.810 --> 0:03:42.460 Firefighters in that remote part of Malibu are being helped 0:03:42.530 --> 0:03:45.640 by more favorable weather conditions as they continue to mop 0:03:45.700 --> 0:03:48.880 up hot spots. All evacuation orders are now over and 0:03:48.900 --> 0:03:51.570 the red flag warning has ended. No structures have been 0:03:51.590 --> 0:03:54.780 lost or damaged, and only minor injuries to firefighters have 0:03:54.820 --> 0:03:57.570 been reported. Mark Mayfield, KFI News. 0:03:57.990 --> 0:04:00.170 The Santa Ana winds have died down, but a new 0:04:00.250 --> 0:04:03.270 threat is looming for communities impacted by fires. 0:04:03.470 --> 0:04:06.410 The latest weather threats have switched from fire danger to 0:04:06.450 --> 0:04:10.030 possible mudslides near burn scar areas as storms are expected 0:04:10.070 --> 0:04:13.910 this week. Meteorologist Kristen Lund with the National Weather Service 0:04:13.930 --> 0:04:16.730 says the storm system isn't expected to bring heavy rain 0:04:16.810 --> 0:04:19.670 and the threat is minor, but people should still prepare. 0:04:19.690 --> 0:04:21.830 They shouldn't be like panicking. 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.719 But, you know, just be aware that it's a possibility. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.820 In Orange County, around the Norte Fire, fire crews are 0:04:27.860 --> 0:04:31.350 taking steps to create barriers for debris flow and runoff, 0:04:31.430 --> 0:04:34.150 just in case. Aileen Gonzalez, KFI News. 0:04:34.370 --> 0:04:36.930 Singer David is due back in court in L.A. this 0:04:36.990 --> 0:04:39.529 morning for a hearing. The singer, whose real name is 0:04:39.570 --> 0:04:42.940 David Burke, is charged with killing a 14-year-old girl whose 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.460 body was found stuffed in the trunk of his Tesla. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.799 It was discovered last year when the car was impounded 0:04:48.860 --> 0:04:51.900 in the Hollywood Hills. Burke has pleaded not guilty to 0:04:51.940 --> 0:04:55.220 murder charges. Ground is being broken this morning on a 0:04:55.260 --> 0:05:00.349 new 6.7-mile light rail line along Van Nuys Boulevard. The 0:05:00.529 --> 0:05:04.010 East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project will have 0:05:04.010 --> 0:05:07.930 11 stations connecting the Metro G Line busway in Van 0:05:07.990 --> 0:05:11.840 Nuys with San Fernando Road in Pacoima. Project's going to 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.840 cost about $ 4 billion. Almost a quarter of that will 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.240 be paid through a federal grant. Trains are expected to 0:05:18.260 --> 0:05:22.900 be running along the line by early 2032. No one 0:05:22.930 --> 0:05:25.410 won the big Powerball jackpot over the weekend, but someone 0:05:25.450 --> 0:05:27.590 in Orange County is still cashing in pretty big. A 0:05:28.710 --> 0:05:33.089 Super Lotto Plus ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Anaheim. 0:05:33.290 --> 0:05:36.520 It's worth $ 64 million. The winning numbers, 3, 27, 25, 29, 0:05:36.510 --> 0:05:44.470 and 37. with a mega number of 17. Yeah, I'd 0:05:44.510 --> 0:05:48.830 take 64 million. I mean, come on, nothing to sneeze at, right? 0:05:49.589 --> 0:05:52.830 You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI 0:05:52.950 --> 0:05:55.050 AM 640. 0:05:55.050 --> 0:05:57.110 It's 5.07 on your wake up call. Let's say good 0:05:57.150 --> 0:06:01.300 morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. So Jordana, 0:06:01.740 --> 0:06:05.140 President Trump has given another endorsement. This one is to 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:06.400 someone halfway around the world. 0:06:08.450 --> 0:06:13.760 That's right. The president, President Trump, has endorsed Israeli Prime 0:06:13.820 --> 0:06:17.980 Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the election. As you know, Amy, 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.110 that election is coming up in just over a week 0:06:21.210 --> 0:06:26.450 on October 27th. And Netanyahu is in a dead heat. 0:06:27.510 --> 0:06:32.039 He's been polling either even or falling behind. So this 0:06:32.130 --> 0:06:36.150 endorsement from President Trump is coming in really at a 0:06:36.270 --> 0:06:40.370 very critical time for Netanyahu. And we haven't seen new 0:06:40.410 --> 0:06:43.710 polling yet, but I do believe it's going to help 0:06:44.010 --> 0:06:49.120 Netanyahu in the lead up to this election. Here in Israel, 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:57.539 President Trump is very, very beloved, even after Israelis feel 0:06:57.580 --> 0:07:00.250 that maybe he ended the war in Iran a little 0:07:00.290 --> 0:07:05.200 too soon before the job had, quote unquote, been finished. Nonetheless, 0:07:05.730 --> 0:07:09.930 he remains something of an even mythical figure here. And 0:07:10.310 --> 0:07:16.250 Netanyahu is betting or hoping that those who are going, 0:07:16.470 --> 0:07:18.770 you know, not sure yet who they're going to vote for, 0:07:19.090 --> 0:07:22.710 that this endorsement will push them into Netanyahu's camp. 0:07:23.750 --> 0:07:27.340 Interesting that he is popular there, not so much here. 0:07:27.900 --> 0:07:34.880 So what happened... Who's Netanyahu running against? I mean, we 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.340 know Netanyahu because we hear about him all the time. 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:39.520 But who's running against him? 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:45.090 So Netanyahu is running against the man that he once 0:07:45.290 --> 0:07:47.950 tapped to be the head of the Israeli army, his 0:07:49.170 --> 0:07:52.490 IDF chief, when he was still prime minister in an 0:07:52.730 --> 0:07:58.720 earlier term. His name is Gadi Eizenkot. He served in 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.800 Netanyahu's war cabinet for the first year of the Gaza war. 0:08:02.820 --> 0:08:11.100 He is known as a straight-talking general. He doesn't have 0:08:11.140 --> 0:08:16.000 a lot of the polish that Netanyahu has. But frankly, 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.950 Israelis are looking for someone that they can trust. and 0:08:19.990 --> 0:08:23.980 that they believe isn't involved in any corruption or ulterior 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:28.360 motives or political survival, all the accusations that are thrown 0:08:28.420 --> 0:08:35.810 at Netanyahu. You know, his rival, Isengard, has really carved 0:08:35.890 --> 0:08:39.130 out an image of himself as someone who is straight-talking 0:08:39.270 --> 0:08:44.130 and interested in really bringing healing to the country after 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:48.199 these attacks. three years of war. And really, much of 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.580 the country is still traumatized. And that's why we've seen 0:08:52.020 --> 0:08:54.940 Gadi Aysenkat, whose party was only founded a few months ago, 0:08:55.020 --> 0:08:58.780 perform so well. I mean, he has been either tying 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:03.420 or beating Netanyahu's traditional Likud party. The problem, Amy, is 0:09:03.460 --> 0:09:06.099 that some of the parties further to the right of 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:12.110 Netanyahu are growing. And that will still help Netanyahu. Remember, 0:09:12.130 --> 0:09:14.910 this is a parliamentary system, so you have to hit 0:09:14.950 --> 0:09:18.730 that 61 seats to form a government. So even if 0:09:18.809 --> 0:09:21.430 Netanyahu doesn't do so well, but the other parties do well, 0:09:21.710 --> 0:09:22.790 he's still in good shape. 0:09:23.290 --> 0:09:27.280 Okay. And that election is coming up just a week away, so. 0:09:27.740 --> 0:09:29.810 I'm sure we will be... Yeah, October 27th. 0:09:29.940 --> 0:09:31.980 Yeah, I'm sure we'll be talking to you about that. 0:09:32.100 --> 0:09:33.640 And the next time we talk, I also want to... 0:09:34.540 --> 0:09:35.820 I know we're out of time now, but I want 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.740 to kind of get an update on what is going 0:09:37.860 --> 0:09:40.449 on in the Strait, because... We haven't been hearing about it. 0:09:40.850 --> 0:09:43.360 It's all very quiet. And whether it's actually quiet or 0:09:43.390 --> 0:09:45.800 the media is just not grabbing onto it is the 0:09:45.820 --> 0:09:47.620 big question. So hopefully we can ask you about that 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.160 next time. Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Thanks so much. 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:52.060 Bye. 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:53.059 All right. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.480 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 0:09:54.500 --> 0:10:01.730 of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. There's something we are hearing about, 0:10:01.770 --> 0:10:06.429 and that is protests in France. French President Emmanuel Macron 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:10.240 has condemned what he says sought to bring down the 0:10:10.300 --> 0:10:15.459 republic after a weekend of rioting and destruction. Buildings were 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.180 set on fire in Paris and other areas in France. 0:10:18.820 --> 0:10:22.520 including in Limoges, where a large fire in the historic 0:10:22.860 --> 0:10:26.719 town hall caused the roof to partly collapse. The protests 0:10:26.780 --> 0:10:29.740 also led to clashes with police and looting, resulting in 0:10:30.220 --> 0:10:34.839 at least 2,400 arrests across the country. ABC's Tom Sufi-Bridge 0:10:34.900 --> 0:10:36.700 called it wanton violence. 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.380 There was tear gas being used by the police, water cannon. 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.140 There was complete pandemonium. 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.830 Macron has blamed radical far-left groups and criminals. He's now 0:10:45.929 --> 0:10:50.580 calling for localised and limited to try to cut down 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:56.400 on the looting and the demonstrations. Energy Secretary Chris Wright 0:10:56.540 --> 0:11:00.630 is defending President Trump's diesel deal with Russia, calling it 0:11:00.770 --> 0:11:03.939 an incentive to end the war in Ukraine. Wright says 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.960 the deal is not an economic lifeline for Moscow, but 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.120 a way to encourage Russia to reduce its military operations. 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.050 That if they can reduce the conflict with Ukraine, they 0:11:13.090 --> 0:11:16.449 can get an energy ceasefire or reduce the conflict such 0:11:16.490 --> 0:11:19.610 that they have diesel to export, will allow it to 0:11:19.770 --> 0:11:20.950 flow to world markets. 0:11:21.450 --> 0:11:23.950 He says Russia would need to agree to an energy 0:11:24.030 --> 0:11:27.070 ceasefire or scale back its war effort to benefit. 0:11:27.710 --> 0:11:28.150 The U.S. 0:11:28.190 --> 0:11:33.580 And Russia reportedly discussing joint data center projects. President Vladimir 0:11:33.620 --> 0:11:38.819 Putin's investment envoy has announced the talks at the Russian 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.210 Energy Week conference in Moscow. He did that on Friday. 0:11:42.270 --> 0:11:46.590 He says the discussions, which include nuclear-powered data centers, follow 0:11:46.610 --> 0:11:49.190 the recent deal to supply Russian diesel to U.S. and 0:11:49.210 --> 0:11:53.920 global markets. The envoy says American sanctions remain a major 0:11:54.020 --> 0:11:58.199 obstacle but expects more agreements to be announced soon, even 0:11:58.260 --> 0:12:00.500 as efforts to end the war in Ukraine remain stalled. 0:12:00.540 --> 0:12:04.819 The White House has not publicly confirmed those discussions. Former 0:12:04.860 --> 0:12:08.020 President Obama has criticized the federal raid on the home 0:12:08.059 --> 0:12:10.880 of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar in Washington, D.C. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.630 In a post on X, Obama said the federal government 0:12:13.670 --> 0:12:17.190 was targeting a law-abiding elected official simply because she's been 0:12:17.230 --> 0:12:20.610 a vocal critic of President Trump.

But, 0:13:33.870 --> 0:13:36.470 I mean, there was nobody coming in, nobody coming out. 0:13:36.390 --> 0:13:39.390 Until everything was handled. 0:13:39.990 --> 0:13:41.170 But it took a long time. 0:13:41.460 --> 0:13:44.440 The airman was stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.900 The demonstration was part of a pregame ceremony honoring service 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:52.360 members and veterans. The founder of SpaceX has given away 0:13:52.380 --> 0:13:54.880 a big part of his company to benefit every child 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:55.490 in the country. 0:13:55.730 --> 0:13:58.730 Posting on X, Elon Musk said he would give one 0:13:58.809 --> 0:14:02.190 share of SpaceX stock to every kid in America.

No details were given in the 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.599 short post about how next year's stock distribution would work, 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.070 but Musk did call it, quote, the first of many. 0:14:20.490 --> 0:14:22.470 Rory O'Neill, KFI News. 0:14:24.150 --> 0:14:27.460 That's nice. I want to be a SpaceX kid. Hey, 0:14:27.500 --> 0:14:30.540 when we come back, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.120 Why should you care about that and what can you do? Well, 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.880 we'll be talking with the Komen Foundation's Nisha Haimi to 0:14:36.950 --> 0:14:40.010 find out an interview that could save your life. 0:14:40.450 --> 0:14:44.050 You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI AM640. 0:14:44.870 --> 0:14:48.150 Wonderful weekend. It was a nice one. Cooling down a 0:14:48.170 --> 0:14:52.450 little bit. Not quite feeling like fall because temperatures are 0:14:52.470 --> 0:14:55.070 still going to be like in the mid-80s today. Here's 0:14:55.110 --> 0:14:58.390 what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Firefighters are 0:14:58.430 --> 0:15:03.550 mopping up hot spots for the 146-acre fire that has 0:15:03.590 --> 0:15:07.590 burned in Malibu. The Bryson fire is now 74% surrounded. 0:15:08.050 --> 0:15:11.490 Evacuation orders have been lifted and roads have reopened. One 0:15:11.530 --> 0:15:14.330 person has been killed and six others were hurt in 0:15:14.370 --> 0:15:18.030 a shooting in Eastvale. The shooting happened on Morning Hills 0:15:18.110 --> 0:15:22.130 Drive late Saturday night, just after 11. Police haven't arrested 0:15:22.170 --> 0:15:25.170 a shooter and have not released any information about the shooter. 0:15:25.850 --> 0:15:29.290 The Powerball jackpot has topped $ 600 million. No one matched 0:15:29.330 --> 0:15:31.930 all six winning numbers from Saturday night, so the jackpot's 0:15:31.990 --> 0:15:36.690 up to an estimated $ 607 million for tonight. The one-time 0:15:36.730 --> 0:15:41.020 cash payout for a winning ticket would be $ 255 million. Again, 0:15:41.060 --> 0:15:44.190 nothing to sneeze at. At 6.05, it's Handel on the News. 0:15:44.250 --> 0:15:47.270 Russia and Ukraine continue to pound each other as President 0:15:47.310 --> 0:15:50.830 Trump and Ukraine's president continue to be at odds over 0:15:50.850 --> 0:15:54.250 the war between Russia and Ukraine. Let's say good morning 0:15:54.290 --> 0:15:57.880 now to Nisha Jaime with the Komen Foundation. 0:15:57.890 --> 0:15:59.780 Hi, good morning. How are you? 0:16:00.100 --> 0:16:02.900 Doing very well, thank you. So we're talking with Nisha 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.400 today because there's a big event coming up this weekend. 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.800 And it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So, Nisha, what 0:16:09.940 --> 0:16:12.720 is the message the Komen Foundation wants everyone to get 0:16:12.740 --> 0:16:13.460 this October? 0:16:13.860 --> 0:16:18.160 We're really wanting everyone to know that early detection and, 0:16:18.180 --> 0:16:21.880 you know, getting your screenings is key, you know, all 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:25.430 the time. And especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we 0:16:25.450 --> 0:16:27.830 want to make sure that everybody knows what their normal 0:16:27.990 --> 0:16:31.170 is and what abnormal is. And we're having our More 0:16:31.190 --> 0:16:35.230 Than Pink Walk this Sunday, October 25th at Los Angeles 0:16:35.250 --> 0:16:39.740 State Historic Park. And we're inviting everybody to come support 0:16:39.780 --> 0:16:42.660 the breast cancer community. We're going to have an awesome 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:47.160 event where everybody can support each other, hear stories of 0:16:47.260 --> 0:16:51.780 strength and resilience. and just be out there to really 0:16:52.020 --> 0:16:57.160 raise some critical funds that are needed for breast cancer 0:16:57.180 --> 0:17:01.400 research and to hopefully help people get more access to 0:17:01.500 --> 0:17:05.140 life-saving breast cancer treatments and so much other stuff like 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:09.070 financial assistance, emotional support, everything that comes along with the 0:17:09.109 --> 0:17:10.770 journey of a breast cancer. 0:17:10.790 --> 0:17:13.350 Yeah, because isn't a big part of this when you 0:17:13.369 --> 0:17:16.890 come out When you get this diagnosis, it can be devastating. 0:17:17.030 --> 0:17:21.540 And having community around you to support you is a 0:17:21.619 --> 0:17:26.139 huge part of getting better and successfully battling it. 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.860 It really is. You know, I was diagnosed with stage 0:17:29.940 --> 0:17:31.680 two breast cancer in the summer of 2022. I was 0:17:33.100 --> 0:17:36.230 completely shocked and devastated. I was a mom to, you know, 0:17:36.310 --> 0:17:39.450 young kids. And it's really scary, you know, not only 0:17:39.490 --> 0:17:42.490 the treatment, but also just wondering if you're going to survive. 0:17:43.130 --> 0:17:46.270 And so to really, you know, be around other survivors 0:17:46.350 --> 0:17:49.690 and people that have walked the journey, you get that 0:17:49.890 --> 0:17:53.250 strength and that support. And, you know, you see other 0:17:53.290 --> 0:17:56.129 survivors that are long-term survivors, 10 years, 20 years, and 0:17:56.150 --> 0:17:58.470 you're like, if they can do it, you know, so 0:17:58.490 --> 0:18:01.119 can I. And they're just kind of like your roadmap. 0:18:01.300 --> 0:18:04.840 And so it's really that community support. It's everything, you know, 0:18:04.859 --> 0:18:06.300 it's everything during that dark time. 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.120 Yeah. And Nisha, you said you were diagnosed in 2022. 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:09.770 How did you find out? 0:18:12.910 --> 0:18:16.389 So I found a lump right beneath my collarbone. You know, 0:18:16.430 --> 0:18:18.129 I was just taking my kids out to the pool, 0:18:18.710 --> 0:18:21.840 readjusting my straps for my bathing suit, and I felt 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.840 a lump. And I didn't waste any time. I went 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.840 to my doctor for a walk-in mammogram a couple of 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:32.680 days later, and the ball, you got the mammogram. They 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.240 asked me to do an ultrasound. I went to a 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.460 biopsy and, you know, within, I believe, two weeks, I 0:18:38.500 --> 0:18:42.179 got my diagnosis. And then after that, it was 18 0:18:42.180 --> 0:18:47.700 months of, you know, harsh treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation. And, 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.679 you know, it was a long road, but today I'm 0:18:50.700 --> 0:18:54.310 really grateful to be a three-year breast cancer survivor. And 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:58.609 that's why it's really important for everybody to be aware of, 0:18:58.770 --> 0:19:02.400 you know, their bodies and, If you notice something abnormal, 0:19:02.420 --> 0:19:04.479 you really, you know, you can't wait. You have to 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.419 get to your doctor and make sure that you get 0:19:06.460 --> 0:19:10.040 your screenings and the mammograms right away. 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:10.619 Yeah. 0:19:10.700 --> 0:19:13.770 And you mentioned that you had stage two, which no 0:19:13.810 --> 0:19:16.310 cancer is good cancer. Stage two is much better than 0:19:16.369 --> 0:19:19.650 three and, of course, way better than four. So, you know, 0:19:19.790 --> 0:19:21.949 and that's, I think it's interesting that you say that 0:19:21.970 --> 0:19:23.850 they move fast. I know that one time I had 0:19:24.710 --> 0:19:26.820 a mammogram a few years ago and they were like, 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.760 they called me and said, you need to come in now. 0:19:30.420 --> 0:19:32.560 And I was panicking, of course, but you said they 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.020 move fast and they do if they find something. And 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.679 it turned out to be nothing, luckily. But if they 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.220 find anything, man, they are on it and like, get 0:19:40.290 --> 0:19:42.330 in here now. And we want to get it diagnosed, 0:19:42.350 --> 0:19:44.910 get it taken care of if we need to, you know. 0:19:44.990 --> 0:19:47.510 So I think that that's one of the very cool things, 0:19:47.550 --> 0:19:49.830 because a lot of times there are other things where, 0:19:49.869 --> 0:19:51.900 you know, it seems like doctors kind of drag their feet, 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.159 not maybe not intentionally or something like this. But this one, 0:19:54.170 --> 0:19:57.530 they get on it when it when something's not normal. 0:19:58.090 --> 0:19:58.630 So that's good. 0:19:58.730 --> 0:20:02.450 They do. Yeah, they do. And that's very good. So, 0:20:02.590 --> 0:20:05.010 so yeah, so it's just very important, you know, for 0:20:05.109 --> 0:20:08.310 everybody to be aware of what's normal for them. And, 0:20:08.410 --> 0:20:09.889 you know, I know a lot of people kind of 0:20:09.950 --> 0:20:13.449 have different relationships with doctors and sometimes they don't want 0:20:13.470 --> 0:20:15.929 to go, you know, they put off the screenings, but really, 0:20:16.470 --> 0:20:18.210 we really want to drive home the fact that early 0:20:18.250 --> 0:20:22.190 detection is, you know, the best case scenario for any 0:20:22.260 --> 0:20:25.140 type of cancer. And so just don't wait, you know, 0:20:25.180 --> 0:20:27.620 make sure you're getting all those screenings in the proper timeline. 0:20:28.130 --> 0:20:30.179 And what's the recommended age for the baseline? Is it 0:20:30.180 --> 0:20:32.300 40 still, Nisha, or is it younger now? 0:20:33.300 --> 0:20:34.460 It is 40. 0:20:34.460 --> 0:20:34.700 Okay. 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.810 So if you haven't had one yet, I know that 0:20:37.830 --> 0:20:39.950 a lot of people say, oh, my gosh, it's so, 0:20:40.290 --> 0:20:43.850 the mammogram, it's so hard. And I'm like, it is not. 0:20:43.869 --> 0:20:44.450 It is. 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.010 You know, it really it really is not. I think 0:20:47.070 --> 0:20:49.430 it's just that mental barrier that you have to get through, 0:20:49.450 --> 0:20:51.810 you know, and you go in there and you just, 0:20:52.010 --> 0:20:54.429 you know, it could save your life. You know, yeah, 0:20:54.510 --> 0:20:57.139 it's uncomfortable. It's not you know, it's not like a 0:20:57.190 --> 0:20:59.980 great thing to have to go through. But in the 0:21:00.020 --> 0:21:02.980 long run, you know, you're you could potentially be saving 0:21:03.020 --> 0:21:05.800 your life. So just a little bit of uncomfortability for 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.290 a couple of minutes. I think I think it's well 0:21:08.310 --> 0:21:08.669 worth it. 0:21:08.930 --> 0:21:09.110 Yep. 0:21:09.310 --> 0:21:12.190 Catching early is key. And, you know, being a colon 0:21:12.210 --> 0:21:15.260 cancer survivor myself, you know, you got to catch it, 0:21:15.410 --> 0:21:17.129 you got to get rid of it, and then you 0:21:17.150 --> 0:21:18.930 can go on and live the rest of your life. 0:21:18.990 --> 0:21:21.169 But you've got to find out if you have it first. 0:21:21.290 --> 0:21:26.330 So getting those mammograms is key. Any final messages? 0:21:27.950 --> 0:21:29.669 No, just, you know, we would love for everybody to 0:21:29.690 --> 0:21:31.879 come out and join us on October 25th at the 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:36.199 More Than Pink Walk. You know, it's a wonderful place 0:21:36.300 --> 0:21:43.160 for survivors, for co-survivors, caregivers, family members, friends. It's going 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.440 to be a one-mile walk, but people can go around 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:49.160 the walk three times. We're going to have food. We're 0:21:49.180 --> 0:21:53.840 going to have vendors. You can write messages for anybody 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:57.660 that is going through treatment right now. Just a beautiful 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.300 event and out in LA to kind of show your 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.660 support for anybody that you know going through breast cancer 0:22:03.820 --> 0:22:06.939 or for anybody that you've lost. And so, yeah, we 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:09.680 would love to have our community support out there. Again, 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:12.710 like we mentioned earlier, breast cancer can be a very 0:22:12.850 --> 0:22:16.610 isolating and very terrifying experience. And so to have other 0:22:16.650 --> 0:22:18.910 people come out and show up for you, it really 0:22:18.950 --> 0:22:19.610 means everything. 0:22:20.050 --> 0:22:22.770
