I'm Amy King. Thanks for getting up 5 00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:40.240 with us today. So Halloween is over. I don't have a candy hangover 6 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.600 because I gave most of my candy away yesterday at the office. I did 7 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.640 reverse trick or treating around the office. So very happy that I'm not on 8 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:54.119 a continued sugar high. But now that Halloween is over, it's on Christmas, 9 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:59.039 just around the corner, eight weeks away, three weeks till Thanksgiving. 10 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.680 Thanks Giving feels sort of like a speed bump between Halloween and Christmas. Hey, 11 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.439 and I just when I woke up this morning, I pet my little 12 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:14.079 cat, Alexander the Great and realized it's it's his birthday. Not really his 13 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:15.959 birthday. I think he was born in May, but I got him on 14 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.480 November first, ten years ago, so it's it's his birthday to me. 15 00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.760 Happy birthday, little alex I can just imagine I'm sitting by the radio right 16 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.719 now. Hope you have a fabulous day. Let's get started and see if 17 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.319 we can make it a good one. Here's what's ahead on wake up call. 18 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.959 Dozens of people have entered the Rafa border crossing from Gaza to Egypt. 19 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.400 It's the first time foreign passport holders have been allowed to leave the Gaza strip 20 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.120 since the start of the Israel Humas War more than three weeks ago. We're 21 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.280 gonna be talking with ABC's Jordana Miller in Israel at five point twenty to see 22 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.200 who's getting out, who's not, and also the Israeli air strike that hit 23 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.000 a refugee camp. The head of the FBI says the threat of terrorism in 24 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:02.120 the US has hit a whole other level because of Hamas's attack on Israel. 25 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:09.080 Director Christopher Ray said terrorist organizations have renewed calls to attack the US. Threats 26 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:15.280 against Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities have increased since the war started between 27 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.039 Israel and Amas. Gas prices in La County are down almost a dollar a 28 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.000 gallon in just the last thirty three days. The average cost for regular unleaded 29 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:28.800 is down to five thirty five a gallon. It dropped for its thirty third 30 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.759 street day. Prices in Orange County are also down to five sixteen a gallon 31 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:37.039 at six oh five its handle. On the news, Harvard is fighting back 32 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.960 against anti Semitism on campus. Bill's going to be talking about that. Let's 33 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.800 get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 34 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.479 newsroom. The Hamas run government in the Gaza Strip says an Israeli air strike 35 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:53.080 has hit residential buildings in a Gaza refugee camp for a second day. It 36 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.080 says there are lots of casualties. Israel says it did strike the refugee camp 37 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.240 earlier this week because Hamas Lee was hiding there. Israel says he was killed. 38 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:07.199 The LAPED says hate crimes against Jewish people in the city continue upward. 39 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.560 In fact, Assistant Chief Robert Marino says, since the war in Israel began, 40 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.960 there's been a two hundred percent increase in hate crimes against members of the 41 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:19.439 Jewish community, and from this time last year, overall anti Jewish hate crimes 42 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.800 were up thirty two versus thirteen, one hundred and forty six percent. Angry 43 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.280 Marino told the Police Commission yesterday that hate crimes and hate incidents against members of 44 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.800 the Arab and Muslim communities have also spiked. He says a hate crime involves 45 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.759 physical violence or vandalism, whereas a hate incident is more like hate speech. 46 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.319 Steve Gregory kapin News, the LAPED is looking for a driver who hit and 47 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:44.439 killed a homeless bicyclist in bally Glenn. The man was run over while riding 48 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.759 his bike southbound on Van Nuys Boulevard when the car hit him and dragged him 49 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.800 over a mile. Detective Lissett Pointe says the driver made a U turn to 50 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.599 try to get the man out from under the car, and when the body 51 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.919 was dislodged, the driver took off. This person at this moment is facing 52 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.240 a felony charge of for felony hit a run. Police say the driver was 53 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.080 in a light colored sedan and hit the man just after eleven pm Monday night. 54 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:11.120 Detectives are asking anyone with information to come forward. Chris Sadler kea Fine 55 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.719 News. The search is underway for two men who robbed a Wells Fargo bank 56 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.439 in Northridge. Police say they responded yesterday afternoon to reports of shots fired and 57 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:24.000 thousands of dollars in stolen property. ABC says the guys got away with at 58 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.279 least thirty thousand dollars. One person was hurt, but police say that was 59 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:32.560 not related to the shooting. Tesla has won its first trial overclaims its self 60 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:38.920 driving car caused a death. A lawsuit filed in California says the Tesla autopilot's 61 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.800 system made the car drive off the highway and hit a palm tree going sixty 62 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.759 five miles an hour. The driver was killed, two passengers were injured. 63 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:54.319 The suit sought four hundred million dollars or more in damages. Tesla has denied 64 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.519 liability. A jury yesterday says they found the car did not have a manufacturing 65 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:03.519 defect. The company is facing several other lawsuits and investigations over the autopilot. 66 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.279 Actor Christopher Tyler, known for playing Nicholas on General Hospital, has died. 67 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.040 His co star Maurice Bernard says the actor died yesterday after a cardiac event at 68 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.600 his home in San Diego. Bernard says Christopher was an advocate for mental health 69 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:23.480 and substance use abuse or a substance use treatment, and openly spoke about his 70 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.279 struggles with bipolar, depression and alcohol. He was also on Days of Our 71 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:32.360 lives Tyler Christopher was fifty. Let's now say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. 72 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.319 Good morning, Jim. So we're kind of shrinking, yes, well, 73 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.839 we're not growing as we were before. This comes out of statistics from 74 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.759 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from the Census Bureau. It all adds 75 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.920 up to one thing, and that is a declining birth rate, AMY down 76 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:53.759 by about twenty three percent between two thousand and seven and twenty twenty two last 77 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.600 year. It's a huge drop. Huge wow. You know what California, 78 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.160 it's even more pronounced, a thirty one percent decline in the birth rate. 79 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:06.040 Californians are giving birth at a rate of ten point seven per one thousand people. 80 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:12.160 That's among the lowest in the whole country. And do they know why. 81 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:16.439 I mean, we know why, but on a basic level, yes, 82 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.319 but on a broader level not really. I mean, there are all 83 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.720 sorts of theories about this people. You know, the economists. Some economists 84 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.199 say that let's say you're doing well, you got a lot of money in 85 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.120 the bank, and you're feeling comfortable about the future. You might not have 86 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.040 kids because you don't feel you need kids to take care of you when you're 87 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.759 old. If you don't have a lot of money. Let's say you're having 88 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:41.600 financial problems, you won't have kids because you can't afford them. And there 89 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.000 are other theories. This one I think is fascinating. You know, to 90 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:47.720 have kids, you got to have a partner. To have a partner, 91 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.439 you need to have a relationship with somebody. Well, polars are suggesting that 92 00:06:53.519 --> 00:07:00.120 political polarization makes it unlikely that people will cross over ideological barriers or political barriers 93 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:06.720 to date or to marry. Yet crazy, Yeah, it has affected things. 94 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.600 I mean, we have to be honest about that. But like you 95 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.759 know, twenty years ago, you had friends. You didn't care if they 96 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.120 were liberal or if they were conservative. It didn't matter. It didn't even 97 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.360 come up in conversation because you could still be friends. But now it really 98 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:26.800 is a polarizing thing. Yeah. Only seven percent of people in committed relationships 99 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.800 or in marriages say that their partner is of a different party affiliation. Only 100 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:35.439 seven so thirty ninety three percent. That means are they think pretty much the 101 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:41.879 same, They're the same ideologically, They're more likely to date or marry somebody 102 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:46.920 of a different race or religion than of someone from a different political party anyway, 103 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.839 This is kind of off the beaten path. But yeah, it's suffice 104 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.519 to say that birth rates are down, not just in the US but all 105 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.600 over the world. Amy, okay, And was there sort of a baby 106 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.680 boom during or shortly after the pandemic? Very short that. Yes, one 107 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.639 year showed kind of a slight uptick, and people looked at that and said, 108 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.879 well, maybe this thing is turning around. Well, No, twenty 109 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.120 twenty two showed that it was back down again, and the number continues to 110 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.600 decline. The birth rate does. So, yeah, I think there were 111 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.680 all sorts of theories about what would happen because people were cooped up at home. 112 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.600 Would they fall in love again or would they drive each other insane and 113 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.199 not have any kids? Seems to be the latter. Oh my gosh, 114 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.000 that's funny. Okay, So what are the short term implications and then maybe 115 00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:35.200 some of the long term implications of a birth rate that's going down that fast. 116 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.600 Well, it's almost all long term sort of stuff because this trend really 117 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.960 started back in the seventies, you know, this kind of decline in the 118 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.679 birth rate, and it's only increased over the last few years. And depending 119 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.480 upon how you look at this, it's either the worst thing that could ever 120 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.559 happen, that is that our birth rate is declining. There won't be enough 121 00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.799 people to support older people once those young folks come of age. On the 122 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.440 other hand, some say, with fewer people, you've got less stress on 123 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.039 the environment. The resources that are dwindling now won't be in such short supply. 124 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:15.559 Those who are still here will live a little bit better than those if 125 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.759 we were overcrowded. So, you know, the long term effect is either 126 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.799 really good or really bad, depending upon how you look at this. Yeah, 127 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.200 I think what's interesting is that even though the birth rates are down, 128 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.440 and you said it's not only in the US but all around the world, 129 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.279 but the population is still exploding. I mean we're up to like eight billion 130 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:37.399 people, yes, seven point six I think billion people across around the world. 131 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.799 And the US population continues to climb too. So what's happening? Why 132 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.639 is it rising? A lot of it has to do with immigration, people 133 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.720 coming into the country, And if you look at the map, that sort 134 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.720 of bears true here as well. Here in Texas, for example, the 135 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:58.559 birth rate is down about twenty four percent. We have thirteen berths per thousand 136 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.320 people here in Tech. Look at a place like Idaho, fifteen hundred miles 137 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.919 to the northwest, the birth rate is down thirty percent over two thousand and 138 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.559 seven. So yeah, you see, because immigration is so much more a 139 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.320 factor of the population here in Texas, more people moving in and settling down. 140 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:26.039 What's the state with the largest decline Utah, Utah, Utah. That's 141 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.679 so, I mean because the Mormon population is still huge in Utah. It 142 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.039 is, and not to be too general, but they do tend to have 143 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.440 a lot of kids. Well that's true, but even in Utah the birth 144 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:43.799 rate has been declining. Their birth rate is down thirty six percent since two 145 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.000 thousand and seven. But that whole southwest here California, Nevada, Utah, 146 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:54.679 New Mexico, and Arizona and Idaho, they're all above thirty two thirty three 147 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.279 percent in terms of the decline. Look to a place like North Dakota, 148 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.120 the birth rate decline is only nine point three percent. Yea, they only 149 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.840 have like ten people who live. Yeah, right, that's a lot of 150 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:11.240 burden on those folks to keep the place populades. That is an amazing number. 151 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.360 Okay, thank you, it's amazing to look at it. It's fun 152 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.720 to ponder, it's it's interesting to think about the reasons for it and then 153 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.039 the potential impact of it all. But at some point it's going to be 154 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.200 a reality that we're all dealing with. Yep, something we'll watch along with 155 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.919 everything else. Thank you so much, ABC stim Ryan appreciate it, Jemy. 156 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.320 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 157 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.799 four hour newsroom. Thousands of people in Riverside County are under evacuation orders over 158 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:39.240 a wind driven fire that's burned nearly twenty five hundred acres. The fire started 159 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:45.200 actually not yesterday afternoon, but Monday afternoon in the Iguanga area, about sixty 160 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.600 miles southwest of Palm Springs. Around thirteen hundred homes were evacuated. At least 161 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:54.039 six buildings have been damaged. More than three hundred firefighters are working to stop 162 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.279 the spread of the wildfire. It's about ten percent surrounded. Prosecutors in Long 163 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.120 Beach have requested the La County DA's office reconsider filing felony charges against a homeless 164 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.519 man who attacked a woman. City Prosecutor Doug Holbert says the DA is the 165 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.960 only person who can charge someone with a felony. In La County, we 166 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.840 have all the misdemeanor tools and we're more than ready to take this case to 167 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.480 the fullest extent and try to get the longest incarceration that we can get for 168 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.200 a case like this. If it comes to that the man was captured on 169 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.639 camera last week exposing himself and grabbing the woman from behind, he's being held 170 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.759 on seventy five thousand dollars bail. Jails in San Bernardino County are working to 171 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.919 get body scanners so officials can detect fentanyl. Sheriffdiker says people have been sneaking 172 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.000 the drug into the jail system through their rectums. The sheriff says his department 173 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.320 has created an overdose response team, and what their primary purpose is is not 174 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.759 just looking at as simply as an overdose, but tracking it back so we 175 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.080 track it back to the inmate that brought it in and even if if we're 176 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.039 able to track it all the way back to the dealer. Three inmates have 177 00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.879 died this year from fentanyl overdoses. The sheriff says the body scanners will be 178 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:05.840 helpful as physical cavity searches require warrants, Blake Trolly, kaf I News. 179 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.320 A new study from the Department of Agricultures, it's forty four million people in 180 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.879 the US lack reliable access to food. The Salvation Armies Captain Kelsey Moreno says 181 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:20.440 she's already preparing more Thanksgiving boxes than normal this year. Beneed has definitely increased. 182 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.720 But people are so grateful when they're struggling to put regular groceries on the 183 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.559 table all year long. You know they don't. They don't want to be 184 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.679 in a position to have to sacrifice that Thanksgiving tradition. The report shows the 185 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.960 largest single year increase since two thousand and eight Great Recession. It says the 186 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:41.360 number of kids in food insecure homes jumped by forty four percent. That's crazy, 187 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:46.960 all these crazy statistics this morning. Here's something a little bit crazy. 188 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.840 Speaking of Thanksgiving and food, De Giorno has a new pizza out. It's 189 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:56.360 a Thanksgiving pizza. Yep, it's a Detroit style pizza, so it's square, 190 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:03.600 thick, chewy. It may of creamy gravy sauce, diced sweet potatoes, 191 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.879 green beans, cranberries, and obviously sliced turkey. It's topped with mozzarella 192 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.600 and cheddar cheese and crispy onions. I know that sounds really bizarre, but 193 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:20.759 to me, it sounds really delicious. And so Dejorno's doing this promotional thing 194 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:26.639 leading up to Thanksgiving, and it's going to be sold online only every Wednesday 195 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.840 starting today through November twenty second, so you only have three weeks or three 196 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:37.000 wednesdays to get it. The pizza will cost you eleven twenty three eleven twenty 197 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:41.480 three November twenty three. Pizzas are being sold on a first come, first 198 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.200 serve basis in its wild supplies. Last talks between sag After and the Hollywood 199 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:52.159 Studios apparently went well yesterday. Both sides say they're cautiously optimistic about resolving the 200 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.240 one hundred eleven day old actors strike. More talks are scheduled for today. 201 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.360 Donald Trump Junior is expected to testify in the Trump Organizations two hundred and fifty 202 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.440 million dollars civil fraud trial. The family business of the former president is accused 203 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:11.960 of inflating Trump's net worth to secure better loans and insurance deals. As I 204 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.360 mentioned well, I mentioned Christmas is eight weeks away. Thanksgiving is three weeks 205 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:18.080 away. The big dinner won't be any less expensive than last year, even 206 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.519 though inflation has eased up a bit. Turkey prices are down thirteen percent, 207 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:28.559 but ham is up five percent and canned cranberries. I love canned cranberries up 208 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.519 sixty percent. At six oh five, it's handled on the news. Some 209 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:37.559 students who have cheered on Hamas could get kicked out of the US. They 210 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.159 will tell you what's going on with that one. Let's say good morning now 211 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:46.000 to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Good morning, Jordana. We knew as 212 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.759 this war intensified that it was going to get ugly, and it has. 213 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:56.320 An airstrike has hit a refugee camp, apparently for a second time. Well, 214 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.039 we're hearing reports that there may be a second strike in the Javalia refugee 215 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.840 camp, the largest one in the Gaza Strip in the northern section of the 216 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:11.240 Strip. Yesterday, Israel confirm that it struck the camp several times in a 217 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:18.440 targeted assassination. As Al says it killed the top Hamas leader that was one 218 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:26.399 of the terrorists that led the October seventh massacre that left so many Israelis killed 219 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:33.080 and two hundred and forty hostages abducted. You know, there were reports of 220 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:41.600 initially dozens killed in the Javalia refugee campig yesterday. Now we're getting a little 221 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:47.440 bit of a clear picture. It looks like about fifty civilians were killed. 222 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.320 And that is the ugly truth of this war, that civilians are going to 223 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:57.480 die, and many of them are going to die because not only because civilians 224 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:06.319 always died during war, but because of Hamas's specific strategy of embedding itself near 225 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:17.680 civilian facilities with ordinary gosins. And this is you know, what many people 226 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:26.000 call the kind of dark strategy that Hamas employed, using civilians as human shields, 227 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:33.279 and is there's still evidence that Hamas is blocking civilians from leaving. Well. 228 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.839 Today, the good news is that Egypt finally opened the rough border crossing 229 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:47.319 and there are about four hundred foreign passport holders, foreign nationals that are exiting 230 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:51.839 the Gaza shrip for the first time since the war began. On the list 231 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:56.680 are five Americans who worked for NGOs. We believe it will also include the 232 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:03.880 US diplomatic staff in Gaza numbered over two dozen. We're still waiting for confirmation 233 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:10.480 of that from the embassy here in Jerusalem, but these are foreign nationals who 234 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.160 you know, some of them in Gaza to help the people of Gaza through 235 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:21.039 various NGOs or political work, and they've been trapped there four weeks, so 236 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:25.680 each OFT's finally letting some of them out. It appears to be connected to 237 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.400 the US and Israel's commitment to bring more aid into southern Gaza. That may 238 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.480 be one of the reasons Egypt finally allowed people to leave. Today, we 239 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:38.599 hope to see maybe one hundred trucks of eight going in. Still not enough. 240 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:44.960 In peacetime, thousands of three hundred tracks of eight come in a day. 241 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.240 This is a population, two thirds of which relies on some form of 242 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:56.480 UN handouts. So you know it's not going to meet the needs, but 243 00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.799 it's certainly better than a few days ago when only twenty five for getting in 244 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:06.640 and still no fuel. And you mentioned that that there are a few people 245 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:10.680 getting out, but those are the foreign nationals. They're not letting people who 246 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.079 live in Gaza on a regular basis out Right, there's not going to be 247 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:19.759 any kind of mass exodus into Egypt. Right, Egypt will not allow you 248 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:26.000 know, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Gazans to set up camp 249 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:32.880 in the Sinai Desert. They're not interested in helping them, hosting them temporarily 250 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.240 permanently. It's just not an option that's on the table. And Egypt has 251 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.079 some good reasons for that. First of all, Hamas is also their enemy, 252 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:47.000 and Hamas has attacked Egyptian soldiers, and they don't want to provide any 253 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:53.200 kind of new base or Hamas outside of the Gaza Strip. And you know, 254 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:59.519 many in the region they don't want to see a huge displacement of Palestinians 255 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.640 of the Gaza Strip, nor to the Israelis, you know, because it 256 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.559 does no one. You know, this isn't this isn't a war about population 257 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.240 transfer to get the Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip. This is a war 258 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.559 against Fama Setara group. And Israel's been very clear about that. You know, 259 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.559 who will run the Gaza Strip after that's an open question. But Israel's 260 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:25.359 not interested in holding the Gaza Strip or repopulating it, or moving Palestinians to 261 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.599 Egypt. So for now, you know, there is no safe place really 262 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:37.039 to go to in the Sinai Desert. Okay, all right, Jordana Miller, 263 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.279 thank you so much for your information today. We always appreciate it and 264 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.880 look forward to our next conversation. Thanks so much, tux In. All 265 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.440 right, hey, the housing market, as you know, is tough. 266 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.640 We just got some new statistics. The median price for a Southern California home 267 00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.160 is actually down. It's a bargain now. Just the median price is now 268 00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.559 seven hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. That's for all of southern californ too, 269 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.279 and we know that, you know, Orange County is way way higher 270 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.200 than that. So that's a little bit good that the rate is down one 271 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:12.160 point four percent from August. The other downside of all of this is home 272 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:18.400 sales have fallen to about the lowest level in thirty six years. Thirteen thousand 273 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:22.559 or just over thirteen thousand homes were bought and sold in the last month. 274 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:27.680 That's a twenty two percent drop from the year before and down almost seventeen percent 275 00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:33.559 from August levels. So you would think with the home sales down and maybe 276 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:37.000 the price coming down a little bit, that it could signal some good news. 277 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.839 But Stephen Thomas, with Reports on Housing, says home prices are not 278 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.240 going to plunge, so don't expect him to get way better anytime soon. 279 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.440 He says. With interest rates as high as they are now, there is 280 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.000 extra pressure to get the prices down, so the values may come down a 281 00:21:52.000 --> 00:22:06.279 little bit, but not a lot. On Itami's on it? What am 282 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:10.759 I on? I'm on streaming shows, movies, documentary series. And you 283 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:12.920 know, with so much content out there, it's hard to pick what are 284 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:18.039 you going to watch? There are there are some new shows I'm getting staying 285 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.519 caught up on the morning show Invasion. There's some shows like that, But 286 00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:25.640 then there's some shows that you miss that are still out there, and they 287 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:30.119 were very popular at the time. I never watched Suits, and Cono and 288 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.240 I were having a conversation and he's like, you gotta watch Suits. You 289 00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:34.880 gotta watch Suits, and I'm like, why, because it didn't. It 290 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:40.359 just didn't really interest me. But it's a lawyer show, and so I 291 00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:45.279 dive in, and when I dive in, I dive I've been binging this 292 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.640 show for about three weeks now, so Suits, in case you did miss 293 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:53.400 it, I'm going to say, go watch it. It's about a law 294 00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:59.440 firm in New York with very ambitious lawyers. In fact, I'm gonna I'm 295 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:03.039 gonna bring the theme to it. No, that's not it. There it 296 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:12.240 is. So they've got Jessica the managing partner, totally together steers the ship, 297 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:17.400 keeps kind of harmony in the office as much as you can. There's 298 00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.000 Lewis, who has so many insecurities that it's comical at times. He's sweet, 299 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.799 he's nasty, he sometimes seems a little bit delusional. He's kind of 300 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:32.039 the comic relief of the show, but he's also sometimes just horrible and is 301 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:36.920 the center of some really cringe worthy moments. And then there is Harvey. 302 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:38.559 He's really kind of the star of the show. He's the man who has 303 00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:41.480 all kinds of mommy issues, but he's powerful, he's in control, and 304 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:45.640 he's super cute, and he doesn't lose, never has. So it's the 305 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.960 story of these three initially, and the players come in and out all. 306 00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:53.880 What I like about the show is all the characters are distinct, they all 307 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:59.039 have their own personalities, they all have their own demons. What they all 308 00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.920 have in common is that they are all pretty much ruthless. And then the 309 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.720 supporting staff, actually one of the co stars then is Mike. He he 310 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:11.400 comes into the he comes into the picture because he's this wicked, smart guy 311 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.920 with a photographic memory, and he ends up in front of the senior partner, 312 00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:22.359 Harvey, looking for who's looking for an associate, and like weasels his 313 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.160 way into the law firm, and then they hire him to practice law even 314 00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.400 though he doesn't have a license, which I'm gonna say, I think that 315 00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.920 that's probably the biggest stretch. It's the kind of overarching arc. But they're 316 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.039 not going to hire a lawyer who doesn't have a law degree. It just 317 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.920 doesn't happen. But you have to suspend your disbelief a little bit and go 318 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.160 into that, and it really makes for some fun little stories as they go. 319 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:49.680 And of course there's one of my favorite characters is the secretary Donna. 320 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.400 She's Harvey's secretary. She's the one who has sort of a sixth sense. 321 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:56.839 She knows everything, she can get anything done around the office. And again, 322 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.759 like I said, all these characters are distinct. And what I love 323 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.839 about the show is I love the writing. I like the storylines, the 324 00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:11.799 NonStop power plays and struggles, how the characters kind of wrestle with right and 325 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.160 wrong. They're sometimes ruthless most of the time and other times they do show 326 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:19.319 their humanity, And that's another thing I like about the show because as opposed 327 00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:26.160 to like Succession, which I loved, but I hated everybody on the show, 328 00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.200 like the actors hated their characters, like you were looking for redeeming qualities 329 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:34.359 and you could never quite find them. On Succession, you can in Suits. 330 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:40.039 These people do give you somebody to root for in spite of their sometimes 331 00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:44.799 deplorable actions. So what I don't love about the show, but maybe it's 332 00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:48.880 part of what I do love, is that the conflict is NonStop, like 333 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.480 NonStop. One second they're like, you're the best guy in the world, 334 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.000 and then the next second you're the worst in the world, and I hate 335 00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.359 you and you're just useless and can't do anything. I mean, there's a 336 00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:03.400 lot of that push and pull on power. But again, I started watching 337 00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:06.720 it about two or three weeks ago and I'm into season seven. So, 338 00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:10.519 like I told you, when I commit to something, I commit to something. 339 00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:12.359 So it suits. It's an old show, but it's a really good 340 00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:15.480 show. You haven't seen it, and I know a lot of people who 341 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:19.799 were not familiar with it. It's on Netflix, and the only character that 342 00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:25.880 I knew was Megan Markle. I think that's kind of why it got popular, 343 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:29.200 because Markle, because it did, like you said, it is older. 344 00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:32.039 It came out like in twenty eleven, but it was re released on 345 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:37.519 Netflix this year and then it broke Netflix's streaming record for twenty six billion minutes 346 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.240 watched in the first six weeks, beating out like Stranger Things. Yeah, 347 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.960 in brand new series because no one really watched it back then. Yeah, 348 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.680 So it's an old show, but I do like and it's a good sign 349 00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:52.920 about the show that it's contemporary. So you know, one of the things 350 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:59.440 that I like, it lacks the me too. It lacks the righteous indignation 351 00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.599 at lack the social justice references that you find getting rammed down your throat on 352 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.160 all the current shows, and I find that kind of refreshing. So anyway, 353 00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:10.720 suits on Netflix highly recommend it. Let's get back to some of the 354 00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:14.160 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The South Coast Air 355 00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:18.240 Quality Management District has issued a wildfire smoke advisory for areas to the west and 356 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.759 southwest of Aguanga.

The 358 00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:32.480 advisory for dry windy conditions is in effect until tomorrow. A man from Coast 359 00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:37.200 to Mesa has pleaded guilty to raising seventeen million dollars by promising up to ten 360 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.000 percent returns for a house flipping scam was basically through a Ponzi scheme. US 361 00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:47.720 Attorney LA spokesman Kiiran Macaboy says several of the investors duped by Brett Barber were 362 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:51.640 seniors.

Barbara pleated guilty Monday 366 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.920 to two counts of wire fraud and one count of criminal contempt. Sentencing is 367 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.079 set for March. In Orange County, Corbin Carson KFI news. At least 368 00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:15.839 one person has been taken to the hospital following a multi car crash in Hollywood. 369 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.519 The scent a truck flying into a pizza shop. LA Fire says Cruise 370 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:25.200 responded around nine thirty last night night two Rafalo's Pizza near Librea. They found 371 00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:29.720 two cars in a t bone position and the truck fully lodged inside the building 372 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:33.839 wall. Lafd's Urban Search and Rescue team was also dispatched to evaluate and stabilize 373 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.880 the building to see if it can be open. More than twenty miles of 374 00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:42.720 Angelus Press Highway have reopened following storm repairs. Caltran says it has been closed 375 00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:48.319 for most of the year because of excessive storm damage from southern California's historic wet 376 00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.000 winter. There are still some sections that are going to be closed into first 377 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:57.000 quarter of twenty twenty four. Detours can be found online. Hey, we 378 00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:03.039 have an update on Mary Lou and remember a few weeks ago her oldest daughter 379 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.039 put out an announcement on Instagram that her mom was in the ICU fighting for 380 00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.559 her life, wasn't able to breathe, and that they didn't have health insurance. 381 00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:18.039 So now Mary Lou Rutton is back home. She's recovering. She posted 382 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:23.200 her first message on Instagram just two days ago. She said she's staying positive 383 00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:27.440 as she goes through the long, slow process of recovering from a rare form 384 00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:33.359 of pneumonia. Her daughter I mentioned that she didn't have health insurance, but 385 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.799 they did an online fundraising campaign and they raised more than like four hundred and 386 00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:41.599 fifty thousand dollars. I'm still just in shock that Mary lou Rutton did not 387 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.720 have health insurance. I just think that there's got to be something more to 388 00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:49.079 this story. But we of course wish her well and boy which she is 389 00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:55.119 like an amazing woman. She won five medals in an eighty four Summer Games 390 00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:59.039 in Los Angeles. She was the first American woman to win Olympic gold in 391 00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:04.079 the all around petition, and she was the first woman on the cover of 392 00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:08.000 Wheaty's or on a Wheati's box. Go Mary Luke. She says she's going 393 00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:12.880 to give us more information on a medical medical condition as her recovery progresses. 394 00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:17.599 Good to hear. Right now, though, let's say good morning to the 395 00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:22.160 executive director of best Friends Animal Society. It's a big weekend for best Friends 396 00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:26.240 and could be a big weekend for you if you're thinking of adopting pets. 397 00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:30.839 So good morning to Britney Thorn. Thanks for getting up with us, getting 398 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:36.480 up with us this morning. Absolutely, thank you for having me. Okay, 399 00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:40.519 so you have a super adoption event this weekend. Tell us all about 400 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:45.880 it. Yes, we are hosting the Best Friends Super Adoption Event this weekend. 401 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.480 So that's Saturday and Sunday, November fourth and fifth, from ten am 402 00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:56.599 to four pm at LA Historic State Park. It is going to be such 403 00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:03.079 an amazing event. Family Friendly is just about a thousand animals who are looking 404 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:07.240 for their forever homes. So you're going to have a thousand animals on site. 405 00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.400 Yes, we're going to have about a thousand animals. I know we're 406 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.680 a little bit crazy, but it is so much fun. And we're actually 407 00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:22.079 going to have those animals from two different shelter systems. So LA Animal Services 408 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.200 will be there, LA County will be there, and then about twenty other 409 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.039 rescue organizations. So really there's something for everyone. Okay, Brittany, Why 410 00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.880 is now a great time to think about adopting a pet? Actually not thinking 411 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:38.200 about it, but doing it. Yes, now is the best time. 412 00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:44.359 The shelters are really struggling right now. We've seen a huge increase in intake. 413 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.160 We know that the shelters are overcrowded and they really need our support. 414 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:53.720 So if you have been thinking about adopting an animal or even fostering an animal. 415 00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:57.599 Now is definitely the time to do it, Okay, And I want 416 00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:01.160 to talk about Best Friends Animals Society just a little bit, because you are 417 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:07.359 different than some other animal organizations. What's the mission of best Friends? Yeah, 418 00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:13.720 best Friends is a national animal welfare organization and our goal is really to 419 00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:17.599 end the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters by twenty twenty five. 420 00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:22.880 Okay, And for some of the shelters, it's a heart wrenching decision because 421 00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:24.680 I've talked to some of the people of the shelters and they're like, there's 422 00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:29.319 nothing else we can do. They're packed to the rafters because they have so 423 00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:31.839 many animals, and at some point they don't have a choice. So your 424 00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:37.079 goal is to make it so they do have a choice. Absolutely, it's 425 00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:40.599 a heart wrenching decision for all of the shelters. You know, no one 426 00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:45.519 wants to do this, and so that's why it's so important for us to 427 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:50.079 support the shelters, support the staff members that are there making those tough decisions, 428 00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:52.200 and help them get to a point where they don't have to make that 429 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.640 choice anymore. Okay, So let's go back to the super adoption event. 430 00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:58.799 So what kind of animals are we going to find? They're just dogs and 431 00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:00.279 cats or do you have some other stuff up for do you what do you 432 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:05.960 got? What do we got? We got dogs, cats, kittens, 433 00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:09.880 tiny baby kittens. Will actually be doing some bottle baby demos, so come 434 00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:16.400 out and check that out. Fostering, adopting, food trucks, vendors, 435 00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:21.640 something for everyone. So bring the family and come out and meet some of 436 00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:25.960 these animals. Okay, And can people take the pets home that day? 437 00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:31.440 Yes? Absolutely. They can also bring their dogs to meet the new potential 438 00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:35.519 family members so we can make sure that it's a good fit. And yeah, 439 00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:37.559 they can take an animal home that day. Oh I love this. 440 00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:42.319 Okay, Brittany, tell me why you have such a passion for this. 441 00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:47.839 It's the best I have the best job in the world. You know, 442 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.839 we're speaking for animals who don't have a voice, and we're speaking for the 443 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:57.720 people that care for them as well. So you know, normally people get 444 00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:00.559 into animal welfare because they love animals. Takes a little bit of time for 445 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:04.799 us to realize this is actually a people job. We need to be supporting 446 00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:08.519 people otherwise we can't support the animals. Okay, so tell us again dates 447 00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:13.559 and times for the super Adoption Event, which is back after it was You 448 00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:16.800 didn't hold it for like four years because of the pandemic, right right, 449 00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:21.159 So the last time we did it was twenty nineteen, so we are looking 450 00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:24.159 to come back with a bang. It is this Saturday and Sunday, November 451 00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:30.039 fourth and fifth, from ten to four at La Historic State Park. Is 452 00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:32.280 a free event, so we'd love to see everyone there. Okay, a 453 00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:38.039 thousand potential pets for you. And I'm going to tell you I think having 454 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:43.559 pets home for the holidays is the coolest thing. I was talking earlier that 455 00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:47.400 I adopted my Alexander the Great, my cat, ten years ago today. 456 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:52.800 Got him from a shelter and I loved having him in the home. I 457 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.360 loved having him around for the holidays. I love having him around every day, 458 00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:59.280 but it's especially fun around the holidays. So if you're thinking about it, 459 00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:01.960 maybe now it's the time you could become a superhero at the Super Adoption 460 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:07.719 Event. Thank you so much for your time, Brittany appreciate it. Thank 461 00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:12.039 you. I highly recommend a pet for anybody can have them. They just 462 00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.559 make life a little bit better. Let's get back to some of the stories 463 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:17.719 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Foreign nationals have been allowed 464 00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:22.039 to leave the Gaza Strip into Egypt as the war between Israel and Hamas continues 465 00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:27.880 into a fourth week. ABC's Ian Pannell says this comes as American citizens are 466 00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.840 still struggling to leave the war zone. Most of the American passport holders have 467 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:36.000 not been given permission yet to go to that border. The Americans are going 468 00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.800 to cross our age workers together with a lot of people who've been injured. 469 00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:45.039 Israel expanded its ground operations in Gaz over the weekend, which marks a new 470 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:49.320 stage in the ongoing conflict that has killed nearly ten thousand people on both sides. 471 00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:53.400 Two point two million people are stuck since the war starting. The head 472 00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:58.639 of the FBI says there's an increased threat of terrorism in the US because of 473 00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:02.280 the Hamas attack on Israel. While testifying before a Senate panel yesterday, FBI 474 00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:07.719 Director at Christopher Ray revealed terrorist organizations have renewed calls to attack the country and 475 00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:13.920 its interests. He says the most immediate concern is that violent extremists will draw 476 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:17.920 inspiration from the conflict in the Middle East and will target Americans. This comes 477 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:23.360 amidst a spike in threats against Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities in recent 478 00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:30.119 weeks. We want to wrap things up on wake Up Call by saying it's 479 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:34.760 the end of an era at the Disneyland resort. The husband and wife team 480 00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:38.239 who you hear every single day when you go to the park making announcements throughout 481 00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:44.239 the park, They're leaving. They're out. Disneyland park announcer Bill Rogers and 482 00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:49.280 Disney California Adventure park announcer Camille Dixon will no longer be the voices that you 483 00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.320 hear as you wander through the parks. Rogers has been the voice of Disneyland 484 00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:57.119 for the last thirty two years. Dixon, Camille Dixon has been the voice 485 00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:01.480 of Disney California Adventure for eleven years. So Disneyland's going to move on with 486 00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:05.800 new voices for park announcements. And it's just, you know, another sign 487 00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:08.639 that things are always changing. And I can tell you as having done voiceover 488 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:14.760 a thirty two year run at one thing is a really good run. So 489 00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:17.559 things are changing. But I'm sure that Disney's going to do it upright. 490 00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:22.840 Either way.
