WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.919 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:14.519 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:25.359 Hey, it's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. 4 00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.440 Yep, here I am. This is your wake up call for Friday, 5 00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:33.799 January fifth. It's five o'clock, straight up. I'm Amy King. 6 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.759 Glad you've decided to start your day with us today. It's a short week. 7 00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:44.640 We're already at the weekend. Isn't that fun? I think that we're 8 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.679 five days into the new year. The Christmas stick is gone. That was 9 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.359 my tree turned into a stick. It's time for Christmas to come down this 10 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.159 weekend. I gotta draw the line somewhere. As much as I love all 11 00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.000 the Christmas decorations. Hey, did you catch the town hall on CNN last 12 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.719 night? It was Ronda Santis for like an hour, and then it was 13 00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:08.560 Nikki Hayley for an hour. I thought it was really interesting because instead of 14 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:15.439 the candidates attacking each other, although they did, they really focused on the 15 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.439 questions that were being asked of them, so there was obviously no back and 16 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.439 forth. And I was thinking to myself you know what, this could be 17 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.640 a really good, interesting race for the Republican nomination if Donald Trump wasn't in 18 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:32.519 it. I mean, they're so far behind. Unless something really big happens, 19 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.439 do they even have a chance. We'll have to wait and see. 20 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.760 There's going to be an actual debate next Wednesday. It again will be on 21 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.239 CNN. And as I've told you before, I'm a junkie for these things. 22 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.079 I love watching them, so I'll be watching. Here's what's ahead on 23 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.439 wake Up Call. The Lieutenant governor of California has become the latest victim of 24 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.959 a swatting attack. Someone called nine to one to one last week to report 25 00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:00.799 a fake emergency at her home in San Francisco. Elenie Cuna Lacus believes she 26 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.159 was targeted just days after trying to remove former President Trump from the March primary 27 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.400 ballot. He is going to be on the ballot. President Biden's going to 28 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.439 hold a campaign event today marking the third anniversary of the US capital attack. 29 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.520 The White House is Biden will argue that democracy is on the line in this 30 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:22.159 year's presidential election as he head towards a likely rematch with Donald Trump because of 31 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.680 California's high home prices, people are waiting longer than ever to buy a first 32 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.400 home. The average age for first time home buyers in the state is forty 33 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.719 nine. Home prices have doubled in the last ten years. Incomes are up 34 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.599 to fourteen percent. Forty four percent of Californians own their homes, compared to 35 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.479 fifty percent in the year two thousand. At six oh five, it's handle 36 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.919 on the news, a new year, a new high school shooting, better 37 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.719 than it could have been, but worse than what we first heard when it 38 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.599 happened yesterday afternoon. We'll give you the latest on that. Let's get started 39 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.759 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 40 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:02.000 A foot of fresh snow has in the Sierra Nevada U see Berkeley Central Snow 41 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.199 Lab. Lead scientist, doctor Andrew Schwartz says more's coming. We are looking 42 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.080 at two upcoming storms, one in Saturday into Sunday and one next week around 43 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.080 Wednesday. That should bring some more snowfall, but it looks like they're going 44 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.639 to be cold storms and that that snowfall is going to be relatively dry. 45 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.680 The snowpack is at thirty eight percent of normal for this time of year compared 46 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.639 to last year, when the snowpack was at about one hundred and eighty five 47 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.479 percent. Last year was a bit of the anomaly you know who. He 48 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.080 don't expect massive snowfalls of sixty three feet every year. Schwartz says, We're 49 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.719 going to need to see more snow in the next four to six weeks to 50 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.719 have a decent water year. A father of four remains in the ICU after 51 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:44.919 being shot in a road raided shooting on the five Freeway in Santa Fe Springs. 52 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.319 Family members say the man honked and exchanged words with someone who had swerved 53 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.039 into his lane in Norwalk. The other driver apparently followed the man, his 54 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.120 wife, daughter, and niece, then fired two shots into the car. 55 00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.199 No arrests have been made. The LAPD says it's looking for a homeless man 56 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.479 who shot and killed a poppy in front of its owner in downtown, LA. 57 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.479 Investigator say on the morning of January tewod David Sumlin was having an argument 58 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.360 with the dog's owner. During the exchange, someone held a pillow over the 59 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.639 four month old puppy and pointed a gun into the pillow, then told the 60 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.639 owner it's either you or the dog. Moments later, someone shot two rounds 61 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:24.319 into the pillow. Someone took off, but officers say he hangs around the 62 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.680 area of Seventh Street in Stanford Avenue in downtown LA. He's black with black 63 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.399 hair, brown eyes, six foot seven and weighs two hundred pounds. Steve 64 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:38.800 Gregory Kafine News. Previously sealed court documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein 65 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.720 are continuing to be released. The first batch of forty documents was released Wednesday, 66 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.199 revealing the names of powerful people associated with Epstein. Yesterday's nineteen detailed how 67 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:54.279 underaged girls were recruited to his home in Florida. Two hundred and fifty documents 68 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:59.240 are expected to be unsealed. Epstein killed himself in twenty nineteen while awaiting trial 69 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:04.720 on sex track ficking charges. Paralympic gold medalists Oscar Pistorius has been released from 70 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.959 prison in South Africa. Vistorius will now be on parole. He'd been in 71 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.279 prison since late twenty fourteen for shooting and killing his girlfriend, Reva Steinkamp on 72 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:21.399 February fourteenth, twenty thirteen. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller 73 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:26.959 in Jerusalem. Good morning, Jordana. We talked yesterday that some troops were 74 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.560 being pulled out, which could signal a shift in focus in the war against 75 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.160 Hamas, and now Israel's Defense minister has shared some details of that shift. 76 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:39.720 So what did we find out? That's right, He essentially put out a 77 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:44.240 document sending some details to what he called stage three, in stage four of 78 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.120 the war. And in stage three he talks about how in the northern Gaza 79 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:56.160 strip where we've seen thousands of troops coming out of there, pulling them out, 80 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:01.199 sending out the forces that in that area now there will be targeted rates, 81 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:11.079 special ops and lower level you know, we should say military operations instead 82 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:19.160 of the massive air assaults that we've seen and the intensity of tanks and troops. 83 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.319 This is going to be in northern Gaza. Vis is going to operate 84 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.399 in targeted rates against what's left of Kamas. Having said that, in the 85 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.000 south, he said that the fighting will still remain very intense and there hasn't 86 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.120 been a change there. But it took a little more than two months for 87 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:44.160 Israel to crack through and break much of Hamasa's lines and military infrastructure in the 88 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.639 north, and they have just started the campaign in the South, so it 89 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.160 appears that you know, Israel would likely transition him south as well to this 90 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.519 lower intensity war, but just not right now. It may take another six 91 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:01.279 or eight weeks. Okay, So Sunday marks three months since the war started. 92 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:06.199 Tell us more about some of the other progress that has been made. 93 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.879 Well, you know, we did in three months there were you know, 94 00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.639 dozens over one hundred hostages who came out of the Gozla strip. That was 95 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.319 some some of the good news over the three months. But you know there's 96 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:26.560 still one hundred and thirty two hostages. There were three Israelis that were designed 97 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:34.560 as missing and they are now considered hostages after a lot of different forensic analysis, 98 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:39.720 et cetera, et cetera. So you know, there's still many are 99 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:45.720 hoping after this three month mark that talks for a hostage deal and the seafire 100 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.120 will come, you know, the parties will come back to the table. 101 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:54.560 The assassination blamed on Israel as that a top of a month's leader has kind 102 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.120 of put those talks on hold. But we do anticipate the cectery of State 103 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.879 Anthony Blincoln's visit next week. One of the things you will focus on is 104 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.759 getting those hostage deal talks back on track, as well as trying to boost 105 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.279 humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. And in that capacity, we may see 106 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:18.279 Israel open the Aras crossing. That's a northern a crossing in the north of 107 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.319 Gaza, a crossing that was damaged on October seventh, but it is a 108 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:28.920 direct entry into the northern Gaza strip, and we may see that open and 109 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.200 see trucks and aid go straight into Gaza that way, which would really help 110 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.840 because still even with two crossings open, the Caram Shalom and the Rafa, 111 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.759 only about two hundred trucks are getting in. So maybe this would increase it 112 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.320 to three hundred left, you know, maybe some of the better news we'll 113 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.159 see after this three month mark. It is three hundred trucks a day about 114 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:56.000 what was getting in before the war started and that supply chain was cut off. 115 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.399 It's still less than was what was getting in the war before the war. 116 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.840 About four hundred trucks we're getting in a day. You know, the 117 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:11.720 Gaza Strip doesn't have an economy that really functions, so almost two thirds of 118 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:18.240 gousens were dependent on some kind of UN aid. That's why we've seen, 119 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.320 you know, quite rapidly just but you know, with the war and the 120 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.600 displacement, you know that people are you know, in a situation where they 121 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.120 can't get enough food, et cetera, as they were already not in a 122 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:37.879 position to be self proficient. So you know, this is for gozens. 123 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.120 You know, this war has been an absolute nightmare. Unless be on the 124 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.720 second passport, you can't get out. And no safe is no place is 125 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.919 really safe. Even though these Raeliers are trying to designate areas, we hear 126 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:56.799 from people on the ground that they're still bombing campaigns, you know, so 127 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.960 you know, as soon as you know, the war gets pulled back into 128 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.519 the second phase. I mean, one of the major assumptions is that it 129 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:11.320 will be a safer place for civilians, if not safe, but safer than 130 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:16.480 when there's a full force ground you know, incursion. Now Jordan, I 131 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.120 don't know if you have the answer to this, but you were talking about 132 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.720 how there really isn't a self sustaining economy in the Gaza strip and they millions 133 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:31.960 of Palestinians rely on UNAID just for their survival. Has there been any talk 134 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.279 about once the war is over and the Palestinians take control of it without Hamas 135 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.600 about changing that so the Gaza Strip could become more self sufficient or is that 136 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.679 too early to even start talking about. Well, I'm sure that that will 137 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:52.840 be, you know, on the list of hopes and goals for the Gaza 138 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.759 Strip. I mean, when you think about how many billions, not even 139 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:03.799 millions, billions of dollars was able to siphon off of all the international help 140 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.440 that came to the Gaza Strip and instead of that money going in to build 141 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:15.159 you know, institutions for governance and a viable economy that went to build you 142 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:20.320 know, tunnels and safe houses and weapon factories. You know, one would 143 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:26.080 hope that after this war, the Palestinians that take over and are running the 144 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.639 Gaza Strip will finally start to build a thriving economy in the Gadza Strip. 145 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.600 I mean, it is possible, all right. And then I have one 146 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.960 other, just sort of random question, because I know that we just celebrated 147 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.759 New Years and I'm sure that New Year's Eve in Israel was different than any 148 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.759 other year. So what was the kind of feeling as they entered the new 149 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:54.399 year? Did people celebrate or was it just complete? Was everybody really subdued 150 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.919 because what's going on. I'm just wondering what the feeling is inside Israel. 151 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.559 I think New Year's Eve was certainly dimmed by what's happening. And you know, 152 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.120 right as we hit you know, midnight and the New Year began, 153 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.960 Hamas fired about thirty rockets on Israel from the south all the way to Tel 154 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.759 Aviv's. The sirens were going off. Obviously Hamas linding Israel in the world, 155 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:24.360 but it still has some long range missile capabilities and that it is still 156 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.320 putting up a fight in the Gossleel Strip. So I don't know, you 157 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.840 know, how much time there was to you know, it wasn't much of 158 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:39.559 a respite the celebrations. In general, the mood here has been heavy ever 159 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:45.759 since October seventh, and even three months out, there's still a lot of 160 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.240 trauma here and a lot of anxiety and a lot of fear, and still 161 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.960 worries about what might happen in the North. Is you know, is this 162 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.840 the break between the wars? Is there going to be a front in the 163 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.159 North that will open up in the coming month, you know, And a 164 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.519 lot of even though they've pulled out thousands of troops. There's still you know, 165 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.559 a lot of they called it three hundred and thirty thousand troops for this 166 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:15.639 war, so there's still there's you know, close to two hundred thousand troops 167 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.440 and people who are just entering the army in training. So everybody knows somebody 168 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.080 that it still feels like we're in you know, war mode.

Yeah, thanks, good to join you. Bye. All 172 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.480 right, Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 173 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.720 twenty four hour newsroom. And La Metro bus driver has been brutally attacked at 174 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.320 a bus station in downtown Burbank. The attack left the bus driver in the 175 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.639 ICU, but he is now recovering at home. This metro driver says he 176 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.559 personally has been attacked on the job more than ten times, all people through 177 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.960 half coffee, of my face, speak on my face, point through my 178 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.039 face. Well, Leisa. The driver was inspect a bus when he was 179 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.960 attacked. A thirty two year old homeless man has been arrested in connection with 180 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.720 the attack, which happened the day after Christmas, but wasn't announced by Burbank 181 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.720 police until yesterday. One student has been killed five others hurt in a shooting 182 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:15.080 at a high school in Iowa. One student says he saw the shooter in 183 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:20.399 the bathroom yesterday right before the shooting, which was traumatizing because honestly, he 184 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.480 could have just killed me then and there, and I wouldn't be here. 185 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.799 I know, WILLI say. The seventeen year old shooter killed a sixth grader 186 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.559 who was on campus for a school breakfast program. They say he killed himself 187 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:33.440 after shooting five others, including the school principal. Officers also found an improvised 188 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:41.279 explosive device on campus. The US says an unarmed and unmanned surface vessel launched 189 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.919 by Hoothy Rebels got within a couple miles of US Navy and commercial ships in 190 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.120 the Red Sea before it detonated. The launch came just hours after the White 191 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.559 House issued a joint and final warning yesterday. The statement ordered the group to 192 00:14:54.840 --> 00:15:00.240 stop attacks or face possible military action, and a mom in San on one. 193 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:05.279 Campistrano is given more than two hundred e bike riders free safety lessons as 194 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.960 popularity in the bikes and also hospital visits grow if we don't talk about it, 195 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.799 like kids are going to get hurt. Ey bike lady Jennifer Robbin says 196 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.399 she started giving people who hit her up on Facebook the one hour course two 197 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.159 years ago. E bike writers in general are going from sidewalk to street, 198 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.200 to a crosswalk, and then back into a traffic turn lane, all within 199 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.840 thirty seconds, and that makes them really unpredictable to traffic around them, and 200 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.360 that's how accidents are happening. Robin says she loves the freedom her own kids 201 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.879 get from e bikes, but teaching teens not to do wheelies in traffic or 202 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.600 anything else the car does not do, could save lives. In Orange County, 203 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:43.480 Corbin Carson k if I need La County public health officials are urging residents 204 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.279 to get tested if they have COVID nineteen symptoms as transmission levels continue to increase. 205 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:54.480 Officials say free at home COVID nineteen tests remain readily readily available throughout the 206 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.080 county at food banks, senior centers, and pharmacies, and by mail from 207 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:03.159 the federal government. Former President Trump will spend the third anniversary of the Capitol 208 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.559 Riot at two campaign rallies in Iowa's he continues his bid to win back the 209 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.879 White House. President Biden meantime, will be in Pennsylvania today near Valley Forge 210 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.799 and will highlight Trump's role in the January sixth riot that supporters say we'll give 211 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.360 him a chance to lay out the stakes of this year's election. Forty stolen 212 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:25.639 iPhones have been found dumped near a freeway off ramp in East LA. A 213 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:30.840 CHP officer found the pile of phones yesterday. Investigators say several of the phones 214 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:36.000 belong to people who attended the recent countdown to New Year's Invasion event in San 215 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:40.320 Bernardino. Some people have already been able to get their phones back from the 216 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.799 CHP. At six oh five, It's handle on the news new plans for 217 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:48.080 a Disney style monorail through the Supulvida Pass, but even efforts to talk about 218 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:53.639 it got derailed. We'll tell you about that. Let's continue our conversation now 219 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:59.240 with CNN's Hero of the Year, doctor Kwan Stewart. Yesterday we told you 220 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.519 how doctor Stewart where started his mission to provide veterinary services to homeless pets. 221 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:08.519 He travels around to areas with his bag full of medical supplies and heads out 222 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:14.480 to impoverished areas mostly around southern California, including skid Row, treating hundreds and 223 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.279 hundreds of pets. The program started twelve years ago and has expanded to six 224 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:23.599 cities and now, along with Project Street Vet, doctor Stewart has launched a 225 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:29.759 new program. It's a food pantry for dogs. Yeah, I know that 226 00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:33.839 was That was an idea I've been sitting on for a while, and through 227 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.000 the years of doing this one thing, I realized that, yeah, I'm 228 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.920 giving free medical care, but I'm sort of neglecting the nutrition side. And 229 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:44.759 as we know more than ever, nutrition is important for total health. It's 230 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:49.720 an important component for total health. And I will tell people that just to 231 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:56.000 dispel this myth, these dogs are, for the most part, very well 232 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.240 cared for. It's rare that I come across a skinny, moulnurished dog, 233 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.119 a sickly dog. I see a lot of the same conditions I see in 234 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.759 clinic in hospital. It's a lot of skin issues, ear infections, flea 235 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.920 and tick. That's what California is known for. And it's the same out 236 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.240 in the streets. But you know, these owners will sacrifice their own meal 237 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.200 for their dogs. So it's all that they have for a lot of them 238 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.599 in my bad, it's it's their family, mem Yeah, and they they 239 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.519 do everything they can to keep their dog and as good health as they can. 240 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:32.680 And so but having said that, they still, you know, they 241 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.559 struggle to get you know, things like food for their dog. A lot 242 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.880 of good Smaritans will drop off a bag and they see someone on a corner 243 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.799 with a dog. There are other services will come through the town the city 244 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:47.000 and offload you know, dog food from a flatbed truck. But it's tap 245 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:49.400 hazard, it's not consistent. I said, these dogs ultimately need they need 246 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.440 consistent nutrition. So what can I do? So I just came up with 247 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.960 this idea. I'm going to put a shed. It's basically just a closet. 248 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.759 It's a it's a it's a dog food shed and any one living in 249 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.119 that area on how it can come by any time. It's on the honor 250 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:06.200 system and the food is free. They just open it up and take what 251 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.480 they need. That's amazing, so important to take care of the babies, 252 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.319 the little fur babies. So then tell us, doctor Stewart, how'd you 253 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:18.680 get see Ann's attention? I guess just doing the work over the years, 254 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.599 I got nominated. And that's how it works. If anybody can nominate anybody 255 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.160 for doing this. So if you know of somebody out there doing good in 256 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:30.079 the world, you can nominate them for scene it in Hero. And apparently 257 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:34.279 they're over. I was told here at the end they're over ten thousand nominations 258 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:38.519 and they whittle it down. They just narrowed the field, you know, 259 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.960 more and more of the course of six or eight months, and there was 260 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:48.039 a very intense vetting process along with it. But I find myself in the 261 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.279 top thirty, and then in the top thirty you can actually call yourself a 262 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:53.079 scene in Hero and you can put it on your resume, and then the 263 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:57.359 top thirty go to ten and then they crown the Hero of the year. 264 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.440 And somehow I was able to beat up topee off the field and win it 265 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.119 all. But I think this is probably one of the reasons, doctor Stewart, 266 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:10.680 after you got word that you had won, you immediately moved forward and 267 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.480 said, I want to split this prize. See you got me all choked 268 00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:18.480 up, doctor Stewart. I mean, like, that's so big of you, 269 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.519 because how big is It's like one hundred thousand dollars, right, yeah, 270 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:23.920 I had. The winner got one hundred thousand for their mission. And 271 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.559 what Doctor Stewart did as he immediately said, I want to split this between 272 00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:32.240 all of the top ten finalists. I did. Yeah, that's a time. 273 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.880 It felt right in the moment. What people should know is prior to 274 00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:40.319 the gala, a few days leading up to the gala, I was hanging 275 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:41.680 out the other nine on our ease, and we really got to know each 276 00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.599 other and our missions, our sacrifices to the years. I thought about my 277 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.039 own, you know, ten twelve year journey and some of them of fifteen 278 00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.480 twenty years of doing what they've been doing and reaching into their own pocket, 279 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:59.000 and I just I was, I was honored to know them. And in 280 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.279 that moment, I just, you know, I've gotten here in part because 281 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.279 I've been willing to share, and I thought so have they, and we 282 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:10.000 should all celebrate together. And I wouldn't change it. I think that's just 283 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:15.079 a testament to you. So, Doctor Stewart, what's next? More of 284 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:18.759 this? I guess I funny part of the early early story when I, 285 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.720 you know, after the day I found that man outside of seven eleven, 286 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.720 I started doing the work very quietly, and by quietly I almost mean secretly. 287 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:29.920 I didn't tell anybody for six years what I was doing. I would 288 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.240 evenings or occasional weekends, and I had true time. I would just go 289 00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:37.440 out and search these people and find their pets, treat their pets. It 290 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.880 was just a way for me to heal. Going back to the shelter days, 291 00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:41.960 I didn't want to. It wasn't really anything I wanted to talk about 292 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.200 or share. I didn't want to be judged myself. I didn't want to 293 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.720 be in a group of people and have someone say, why are you helping 294 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:49.480 them? They don't deserve help. I didn't want to hear it. I 295 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:53.039 just wanted to go out and do it. So that was the first six 296 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:59.039 years of the Little Adventure, and then it started to gain attention in favor 297 00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:03.559 and I just never dreamed it would be me walking sort of in the shadows 298 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.160 find these people. To now we're in six cities. We just launched in 299 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:08.799 New York City, and so the plan is just to keep moving on, 300 00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.720 to move on to the next big city, the next big city, and 301 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:17.160 I think if I can get into twelve to fifteen of the largest cities in 302 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.319 the country. I will cover a good seventy five percent of our homeless population 303 00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:25.319 and their pets. That's amazing. And doctor Stewart, you can't do it 304 00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:29.359 on your own, So how can people donate? They can go to Projects 305 00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:34.160 Treatment dot org and our website shares all the information they would need and stories 306 00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:40.400 and content and updates and a way to volunteer. And you know, I'll 307 00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:44.319 just tell people sometimes it's messages of support to myself and my team. I 308 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.599 volunteer my time to do the work I still to this day. My veterinarians, 309 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.599 my technicians, my assistants who come on board, who volunteer across the 310 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:56.759 country, who reach out to me, they give their time freely and willingly. 311 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.480 And yeah, just the comments, the warm comments we get on Instagram 312 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.480 or on the website, those two are nice. There you have at Cann's 313 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.559 Hero of the Year, and after just a short conversation with you, we 314 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.720 can certainly see why I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Oh, 315 00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:15.720 thank you, doctor Kwon Stewart out of San Diego.

Makes you feel really inadequate, 321 00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:38.799 doesn't it. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 322 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.640 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Now, let's hear from Chris Adler. 323 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.240 It's finally her turn. Looters have been taking items from a home in Boil 324 00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:49.880 Heights that caught fire and killed two people. Video shows several people walking into 325 00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:53.920 the burned home and coming out with bags and boxes. This neighbor says the 326 00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.720 woman who died in the fire had lived in the home for sixty years and 327 00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:02.480 says she was lovely. In fact, they just brought me to Molly's for 328 00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:06.960 the holidays the weekend before this happened. She says, it's devastating to see 329 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.480 the family lose two family members and their home to the fire that broke out 330 00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:14.640 just days after Christmas, and then the looting. LA City Fire says the 331 00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.440 investigation is still ongoing, but there was no sign of smoke detectors in the 332 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.079 home. Chris Adler KFI News, the mayor of New York City, has 333 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.880 filed a lawsuit against seventeen charter companies that have busted migrants into the city. 334 00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:32.599 The seat suit seeks more than seven hundred million dollars to cover the cost of 335 00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:34.960 caring for the migrants who were sent to New York from Texas in the last 336 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:40.599 twenty months. This comes a week after Mayor Eric Adams issued an emergency order 337 00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:47.279 restricting migrant bus arrivals. It stopped pretty hard. Everybody jumped up trying to 338 00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.480 look around, se who was going on our train? Like kind of filtered 339 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.519 to the side, and then everyone side a panicky. At least two dozen 340 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:57.480 people have minor injuries following a subway crash in New York City. Officials say 341 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:03.079 a work crew was moving a disabled train that had been vandalized yesterday when it 342 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.240 got bumped by another train. They say fortunately it was a low impact collision. 343 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.039 About three hundred riders had to be evacuated from the trains. Tesla has 344 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.519 added more than one point six million cars to its recall list. Model S 345 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:21.359 X three and y electric vehicles exported to China have been recalled to fix problems 346 00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:26.200 with their automatic assisted steering functions and door latch controls. China's State Administration for 347 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:32.559 Market Regulations as Tesla motors in Beijing and Shanghai, would use remote upgrades to 348 00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:34.720 fix the problems. The recall follows one in the US from last month of 349 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:40.119 more than two million Tesla evs. The Lieutenant governor of California has become the 350 00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:44.119 latest victim of a swatting attack. Someone called nine one to one last week 351 00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:47.000 to report a fake emergency at her home in San Francisco. Of course, 352 00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:52.720 a big police presence turned out. Ellenie Kunlakis believes that she was targeted just 353 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.519 days after trying to remove former President Trump from the March primary ballot. He 354 00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.920 will be on the ballot in California. And evacuation order has been issued for 355 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.000 a South Korean island after North Korea fired more than two hundred rounds of artillery 356 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:08.079 shells off the island's coast, about five hundred forty miles west of Soul. 357 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.400 South Korea's Joint chiefs of Staff said the shelling this morning didn't do any damage, 358 00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:18.359 but it threatens peace on the Korean peninsula and raises tensions. Because of 359 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.359 California's high home prices, people are waiting longer than ever to buy a first 360 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.680 house. The average age for first time home buyers in the state is forty 361 00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.480 nine. Home prices have doubled in the last ten years, incomes are up 362 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:34.720 just fourteen percent. Forty four percent of Californians owned their homes, compared to 363 00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:38.559 fifty percent in the year two thousand. At six oh five, it's handle 364 00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:42.079 on the news. Verizon customers may be getting some cash thanks to a class 365 00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.880 action lawsuit. We'll tell you what it is and who could benefit. At 366 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:49.680 five point fifty, we'll be checking in with ABC's Jason Nathanson. New Year, 367 00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:55.119 New Movies, Old awards show with maybe a new look. Right now, 368 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:59.279 let's say good morning to the house whisperer Dean Sharp. Good morning, 369 00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:02.559 and happy news, New year, Dean, Happy new Year to you. 370 00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:06.200 Amy. So you just heard me say that people are waiting longer than ever 371 00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:11.079 to buy homes. The average first time home buyer is forty nine in California. 372 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:14.880 Isn't that crazy? It is crazy, but you know it's understandable. 373 00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:19.720 The economy is not in bad shape, but home prices in California are just 374 00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:23.359 so high. It takes so much to get started and to get into it. 375 00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:27.119 It's kind of it's kind of understandable. Yeah, and once you do 376 00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:30.559 find one of those homes and you buy it, you're going to buy one 377 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.880 of four types of homes. Well, now, yes you are. Yeah, 378 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:38.599 you know, most people think there are hundreds of architectural styles. There 379 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:44.480 are thousands of variations on those style, tens of thousands of details. But 380 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.319 in the end, there are really only four kinds of houses out there. 381 00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:53.160 If you go down any neighborhood in any town in America, three of them 382 00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:57.119 are going to be competing for your attention. The fourth will not. And 383 00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.519 this is how it kind of works out. This is my list. By 384 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:07.160 the way, this is an exclusive house whisper perspective on home Sean Sharp exclusive. 385 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.599 Yes, I can't wait. The three houses that when you drive down 386 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.440 through any neighborhood and this will resonate with you, that are going to get 387 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:21.720 your attention are thus the house of neglect. This is the house that you 388 00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:25.519 know it well. The pain is peeling, the lawns overgrown, right, 389 00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:29.759 wood is starting to fall off. There may be missing tiles from the roof. 390 00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:32.720 You don't really expect to see a car in the driveway. But you 391 00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:37.240 do, and then you think, wow, for all practical purposes, even 392 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.920 though it's being lived in, this house has been abandoned, and if somebody 393 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.039 doesn't intervene, it's probably not going to survive the sale or the transfer of 394 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:49.680 ownership. It just is falling apart too fast. I always get sad when 395 00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:53.480 I see those, because you like, go you can tell, like on 396 00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:56.599 a lot of houses, you go, oh, the bones of that house 397 00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.079 are good, but it just needs a little TLC. Yeah, exactly. 398 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.160 And the truth of the matter is it's really hard to destroy a house. 399 00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:08.480 It really is a difficult thing. But if you let it go long enough, 400 00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:12.240 it's not about the fact that it is destroyed. It's about the idea 401 00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:18.960 that now the cost for repairing it might overwhelm the justification for putting the money 402 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:23.319 in. So okay, that's the house of neglect, right, This is 403 00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:27.680 the funnest one, the house of bad ideas. Okay, okay, this 404 00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:32.279 is a house that's going to grab your attention. You've seen them, you've 405 00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:37.119 driven past them, you've stared at them. It's not suffering from neglect, 406 00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.079 although you kind of wish it was. Because the owners are putting a lot 407 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:45.359 of passion into it, but in all the wrong ways. The color is 408 00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.279 weird. There's maybe some Greek statue. I have one right around the corner 409 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:53.640 from me. There are Greek statues, columns. It's a thirteen hundred square 410 00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:59.319 foot house, okay, but they've gotten overblown it into some Greek temple. 411 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:03.200 There's a fountain so big in the front yard of this house around the corner 412 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:06.960 from me that you can't even see the front door. So the idea is 413 00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:10.440 this, now, Believe me, I do custom homes for a living, 414 00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:15.039 that's all we do. And I am all about letting your freak flag fly 415 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.240 right. I want this house to really reflect you. But there are rules. 416 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.400 There are some basic rules that everybody should follow in order to get your 417 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:27.400 design really firing on all pistons, like rules of scale, maybe exactly. 418 00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:32.440 So these are the houses in which the owners, for what reason or another, 419 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:36.920 have broken the rules, ignored the rules, and it has not turned 420 00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:38.759 out well for them. So that's the house of bad ideas, okay. 421 00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:44.000 And those are things that could be fixed, maybe with you know, a 422 00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:48.359 little reevaluation, like instead of having the ginormous fountain, maybe scale it down. 423 00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.440 A little bit. Absolutely. This is a house that's suffering from what 424 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:57.640 I call post traumatic design disorder. All right, all right, and then 425 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:02.839 I'm smiling. Now, yeah, house that makes you smile, the best 426 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:04.880 one of all, the house that makes you smile. This is the house 427 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.640 on your street that gets your attention for all the right reasons. It's not 428 00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:12.240 just well cared for, but it's lovely. Right. It doesn't have to 429 00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:15.880 be grand, doesn't have to be onspiring, but there's something special about it, 430 00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.000 a little bit of romance to it. It makes you want to see 431 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.680 more. You've thought about this house, You've thought the question like, I 432 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.759 wonder what it looks like on the inside. I wonder how they're living in 433 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.039 there. It's the kind of house that just makes you smile every time you 434 00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:36.200 see it, because it is done right. I like those houses. These 435 00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:38.920 are the three houses that get your attention when you drive down the street. 436 00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:42.160 Now, what about all the others. That's the fourth style that you don't 437 00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:47.400 really notice, and that is a filler house. The fourth kind of house, 438 00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:52.240 especially in southern California, in the land of tracked home developments, is 439 00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:56.599 the most common. It's the one that most likely you and our listeners, 440 00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.720 and it's that we all live in Okay. There are ten of millions of 441 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.920 these houses. There's nothing special about them. There's nothing especially bad, nothing 442 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:10.359 especially good, nothing revolting, nothing particularly inspiring. They just sort of fill 443 00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:15.680 the spaces in between the attention getters. And I would say that if you 444 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:22.279 give a house a personality and emotions, this is the house that really truly 445 00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:30.920 suffers from longing because it's so close, it's so close to being something extraordinary, 446 00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:34.359 it would take so little to push it over the line, and yet 447 00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.200 there it sits. So maybe it's also the house with the greatest potential. 448 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:42.319 Right absolutely. Now, I would say that all of these houses have great 449 00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.119 potential, but this is the one that has the greatest potential in the least 450 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:50.720 number of moves. And since most of our listeners live there, that's what 451 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:54.119 we want to inspire them toward in twenty twenty four. So we're going to 452 00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:58.920 be rounding up every homeowner to give them help, insight, and hope for 453 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.440 this new year. We'll talk on Saturday and Sunday about each of these homes 454 00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:06.799 in death, and we're going to offer a path forward. I love that 455 00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:08.759 and I know that now I'm going to be walking around my neighborhood going, 456 00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:12.359 well, that's a filler house. Well, that's a house of bad ideas, 457 00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:14.880 that's a house of neglect, because once you kind of get it on 458 00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:17.880 your radar, you start noticing it exactly. All right, Dean Sharp, 459 00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:21.279 thank you so much, and happy New Year. We look forward to finding 460 00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:24.079 out so many fun things about homes this year. Thanks Amy, take care. 461 00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:27.599 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 462 00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.720 four hour newsroom. And assemblyment has introduced a bill to have California pump the 463 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:36.319 brakes on giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants. More than seven hundred thousand immigrants 464 00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:39.599 became eligible for free healthcare on the first Assemblyman bill. A. Saley says, 465 00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:44.920 one of his concerns is that offering free healthcare will entice immigrants to flock 466 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:50.720 to California. We cannot create an incentive structure that rewards illegal immigration, Sale 467 00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.440 says. With the state facing a sixty eight billion dollar budget deficit, it's 468 00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:58.759 unconscionable the state would spend money on immigrants before taking care of its own people. 469 00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:01.319 Governor knew some set earlier this week. The state can afford the benefits. 470 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:06.880 Blake Trolley kaf I News, a former Capitol police officer who defended the 471 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:10.159 US capital from a mob on January sixth, says he's running for office. 472 00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:15.119 Harry Dunn has kicked off his campaign in Maryland's third congressional district on the eve 473 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:19.880 of the anniversary of the January sixth attack. He says, it's clear how 474 00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:23.719 much of a threat the extinction of our democracy is. Dunn has spent years 475 00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:27.559 sharing a story of January sixth, when he was attacked by the mob, 476 00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:31.199 which also yelled racial slurs at him. A new law in California has opened 477 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:36.519 up telehealth options for pets. The law, which went into effect Tuesday, 478 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:40.239 lets pet owners meet with vets virtually to talk about symptoms the pet may have 479 00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:45.599 and different treatments in certain situations. It allows vets to prescribe medications via video 480 00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:52.480 chat without having to do full in person exams. LA County public health officials 481 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.840 are urging residents to get tested if they have COVID nineteen symptoms as transmission levels 482 00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:01.239 continue to go up. Officials say free at home COVID nineteen tests are still 483 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:06.519 readily available throughout the county at food banks, senior centers and pharmacies and by 484 00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:10.559 mail from the federal government. Israel's Defense Minister has outlined proposals for the future 485 00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:15.559 governance of Gaza. He says Hamas will no longer run the territory and that 486 00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:20.559 the Palestinians will be in charge, with the condition that there will be no 487 00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:25.199 hostile actions or threats against the State of Israel. Disneyland's Magic Key annual passes 488 00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:30.119 are going back on sale next week. The theme park offers four different tiers. 489 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:35.400 Each key gives guests access on select dates, along with different discounts on 490 00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:39.320 food and pictures, and merchandise and parking. All of the passes also offer 491 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:45.199 up to twenty percent or not up to but twenty percent off Genie Plus that's 492 00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:47.519 the one you pay extra and get to skip the lines. I love the 493 00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:52.039 Genie Plus. We're just minutes away from Handle on the news this morning. 494 00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:55.159 It's been years in the making, but a suicide prevention net is finally up 495 00:35:55.239 --> 00:36:00.000 under the Golden State or a Golden gate bridge. Right now, Let's say 496 00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.320 good morning to ABC's entertainment guru Jason Nathanson. Happy New Year, Jason, 497 00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:07.599 Hey, Happy New Year. The first Big Awards show is upon us. 498 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:12.719 It is the Golden Globes on Sunday Night, and it'll be interesting to see 499 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.519 kind of what happens because it's a new it's a new era for the Golden 500 00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:20.039 Globes. First of all, it'll be on CBS. Normally on NBC, 501 00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:24.159 which you know, we had Ricky Travais and tinaf and Amy Polar hosting in 502 00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:28.440 the past. This year we have Joe Coy, comedian, funny guy. 503 00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:31.239 We'll see how this is his first gig hosting an awards show, so we'll 504 00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:34.679 see how he does. And he was kind of picked at the last minute 505 00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:37.159 too, wasn't it, because like nobody wanted to do it. Well, 506 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.679 it was that, but they were also very late in getting in and getting 507 00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:45.239 a deal with CBS and everything, and nobody really knew what was happening because 508 00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:50.960 remember the Hollywood Foreign Press Association actually, which was the group that put on 509 00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:55.039 the Golden Globes for years vote that was their show. They disbanded last year 510 00:36:55.119 --> 00:37:00.599 because of scandal and financial irregularities and all this stuff. Dick Clark Productions bought 511 00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:05.320 the show, took it over, and some people we weren't sure if there 512 00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.599 would actually be a Golden Globes if they would continue, But so now they 513 00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:13.679 are. The HFPA is gone. There are about fifty holdover voting members from 514 00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:16.079 the HFPA that are voting on this show, but another two hundred and fifty 515 00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:21.920 that they've added in journalists from all over the world who write about entertainment in 516 00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:25.079 Hollywood. And of course it's much more equitable because one of the things that 517 00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:29.280 was a problem with the Foreign Press Association says that there are always a bunch 518 00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:31.880 of white people. Yeah. Well yeah. It was revealed in this La 519 00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:36.880 Times article from a couple of years ago that got the sole scandal ball rolling. 520 00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:39.599 One of the things that they had no black members, and of the 521 00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:44.280 eighty or so members who were voting, a lot of them didn't actually do 522 00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:46.639 anything anymore. They just had these kind of emeritus positions where they were just 523 00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:52.239 voting on this stuff and they weren't writing articles or really doing interviews. So 524 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:57.400 these are now three hundred working journalists from all over the world, and we 525 00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:00.119 don't know their tastes, we don't know how they're necessary going to vote. 526 00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:04.400 The Golden Globes were always good for throwing a surprise in here or there, 527 00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:08.519 because it was so the voting body was so eclectic, so we'll see if 528 00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:13.199 there are any surprises this year. One of the new things to kind of 529 00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:16.920 watch out for there is a new category called Cinematic in Box Office Achievement, 530 00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.039 and this was meant to nominate the films that made a lot of money at 531 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:25.480 the box office but didn't necessarily get the awards attention. But the funny thing 532 00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:30.199 is they brought this in in a year where Barbie and Oppenheimer are two of 533 00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:35.000 the highest grossing films of last year. Yeah, and they're the two highest 534 00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:38.760 the two films with the most nominations already. So for like in another year, 535 00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:44.039 maybe like Star Wars, which nominated for something like this because it was 536 00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:46.400 a blockbuster, but didn't get any nominations for acting or anything. Right, 537 00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:51.039 So in this category you also have John Wick Chapter four, Mission Impossible, 538 00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:53.559 Dead Reckoning Part One. Those are films that probably wouldn't have gotten nominations. 539 00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:57.440 But then you also have, and this is a very Golden Globes, an 540 00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:01.440 old Golden Globes thing, you have Taylor Swift Aristour Movie nominated as well, 541 00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:07.280 which sure did well at the box office, but that means Taylor Swift is 542 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:08.719 going to be there on Sunday, and that's good for ratings and that's good 543 00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:13.159 for eyeballs. The Golden Globes is always good about nominating things to get the 544 00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:15.199 big stars there. Okay, hold on, does that mean she's not going 545 00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:20.000 to be at the Chargers game on Sunday because they're playing Kansas City on Sunday, 546 00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:23.000 So that's a good question. We've been told that Travis Kelcey will not 547 00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:27.679 be at the Golden Globes with her on the red carpet. There's a thought 548 00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.199 that he would play at the game and then maybe scoot over to Beverly Hills 549 00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:34.039 to be at the show with her, but we're told that that's not going 550 00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:37.559 to happen and he's going to go back with the team that night. Could 551 00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:42.280 she be at the game? It's possible. All of it's happening in Los 552 00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:45.119 Angeles, and she can certainly get around the city easier than a lot of 553 00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:50.960 people, so she could possibly do both. I mean, the show doesn't 554 00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:54.840 start until five what times, I think it's in one occun day one kickoff. 555 00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:59.239 Yeah, so you know it's possible. But then also to get for 556 00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:02.079 an award show takes a lot of time and you know, a couple hours 557 00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:06.119 of makeup and clam and things like that. So we'll have to just wait 558 00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:08.000 and see. Okay, before we let you go, we do have a 559 00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:10.920 couple of new movies coming out. We've got Good Grief. Is this a 560 00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:15.320 Charlie Brown movie? It is not a Charlie Brown movie. This is quite 561 00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:19.079 the opposite of a Charlie Brown movie. This is from Dan Levy, the 562 00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.199 guy who behind s Creek. I don't know if I can say the whole 563 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.719 title or not. Okay, fine, but you know some stations it depends. 564 00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:30.400 But and so this is his feature directorial debut. He stars as a 565 00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:36.000 guy who loses his husband right at the top. You know, no spoilers 566 00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:38.239 there. We know that, and then he's got to deal with the grief 567 00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:43.280 of that, and this is about how he deals with that and his friends. 568 00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:45.559 It's kind of a comedy because you know, he does he does do 569 00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:51.280 comedy stuff, but it's it's mostly drama. And it's okay, you know, 570 00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:53.639 it's you know, it's on Netflix, so oh okay, so it's 571 00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:57.400 streaming. It's streaming, so you don't have to spend money to go out 572 00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:00.320 and see it. So and what about Anatomy of a Fall. Let's another 573 00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:02.239 one that is in theaters, but it's also you can rent it. You 574 00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:06.800 can buy for digital rental. This is when getting a bunch of awards attention. 575 00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:09.079 It has a bunch of nominations at the Golden Globes on Sunday because it 576 00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:14.400 is a very international film. It's about a woman whose husband dies. This 577 00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:19.039 is a theme now we have really depressing me. We have dead husbands is 578 00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:23.800 the theme this week. But this is about he dies tragically and they have 579 00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:28.920 to kind of figure out was it murder or was it something else? And 580 00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:32.760 everybody's kind of a suspect. And it turns into a very psychological drama that's 581 00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:37.920 big on talking. And it's nominated for Golden Globes and I've never heard of 582 00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:40.840 it before today. Yes, it's nominated for four for Best Picture, Best 583 00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:46.480 Director, Actress, and Screenplay. I believe. Okay, weish and it'll 584 00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:50.400 get more awards attention as time goes on. Yeah, all right, Jason 585 00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:52.840 Nathanson, thank you so much. Appreciate it. All right, take it 586 00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:54.239 all right, talk to you soon. Let's go back to some of the 587 00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:58.400 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A sixth grader on 588 00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:00.559 campus for a breakfast program, has been killed in a shooting at a high 589 00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:05.800 school in Iowa. The lyse five others were also hurt yesterday, including four 590 00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:08.280 students and the school principal. They say the shooter was a seventeen year old 591 00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:14.920 student who killed himself at the campus. They say an improvised explosive device was 592 00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:20.760 also found. A lawsuit alleges California Attorney General Rob Bonta used his official role 593 00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:25.840 to insert personal bias into a transgender notification policy ballot measure. The policy, 594 00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:30.599 first adopted by school districts in southern California, was called Protect Kids of California 595 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:36.159 Act, but the AG changed it to restricts rights of transgender youth. Mister 596 00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:42.960 bonto wants teachers and schools to socially transition children behind their parents' backs. Protect 597 00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:46.360 Kids California's Aaron Friday says, despite those views, Bonta's legally required to be 598 00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:52.559 fair. Mister Bonta's title and summary is prejudicial, partial, and inaccurate. 599 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:57.760 The AG's office says it can't comment on a particular ballot measure. Corbin Carson 600 00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:02.480 k if I News and one final note the twenty twenty four Minnesota Ice Festival 601 00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:08.760 has been canceled. It was supposed to run from today to February eleventh at 602 00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:15.559 Vikings Lake in Egan, Minnesota. It would have included the world's largest ice 603 00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:22.280 maize structures and sculptures, but it was canceled this year because of warm weather. 604 00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:25.719 They didn't think it would be safe to have all that. Ice Festival 605 00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:31.719 plans to return next year.
