Good morning, This is your wake up call 3 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.919 for Monday, January twenty ninth. I'm Heather Brooker in for Amy King. 4 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.920 Hello, and I'm so happy to be here with you guys, But I 5 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.000 should warn you I'm losing my voice a little bit this morning, so just 6 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.399 bear with me, folks. I will try not to scare you all away 7 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.640 with my very extra deep, super gravelly voice this morning. But let me 8 00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.719 say good morning to everybody who's here. Good morning to Tony and Ann. 9 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.039 Hello. All right, we have a lot of great things that we're going 10 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.719 to be talking about this morning. Amy King is off today, as I 11 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:44.119 mentioned, so let's get started, shall we. Here's what's ahead on wake 12 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.840 Up Call. President Biden says he will retaliate against the deadly attack on US 13 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.479 service members, and Jordan will get the latest on the growing conflict. The 14 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.320 International Court of Justice stops short of ordering Israel to cease fire against Palestine. 15 00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.799 Instead, they're urging Israel to take steps to limit harm. They and the 16 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:07.000 Space Shuttle Endeavor is expected to make its final flight as it's lifted above the 17 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.319 California Science Center and Exposition Park so it can be lowered into police for its 18 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.640 vertical launch ready display, then at six oh five its handle on the news. 19 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:23.079 Six European countries have paused funds for the UN Palestine Refugee Agency after allegations 20 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.000 that some of its staff were involved in the October seventh Hamas attack on Israel. 21 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.920 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 22 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.120 four hour newsroom. LA police are trying to figure out why a man in 23 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.519 Granada Hills killed his family and then himself. Police were called to a home 24 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.760 Saturday evening by a woman barricaded in a room. Officers had to force their 25 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.079 way into the home, where they found the bodies of an elderly couple and 26 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.280 their two adult children. The shooter has been identified as seventy nine year old 27 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:56.920 Rodrigo de Leon. A woman has been arrested for allegedly killing her four year 28 00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.599 old daughter in East La. Sheriff's deputies were called to a business parking lot 29 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.719 late Thursday, where they found the child unresponsive in a vehicle. She died 30 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.080 at the hospital. The cause of death was reported as combined effects of strangulation 31 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:13.120 and sharp force. The mom was also found in the car. She was 32 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:17.159 later booked on suspicion of murder. Criminology experts at u SE Irvine Law School 33 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:23.159 have dropped a remix of a legal guide called rap Lyrics on Trial. Remember 34 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.599 What's the case that they you see? Irvine professor say the legal guide has 35 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.240 helped attorney's nationwide who are dealing with rap evidence in criminal proceedings from initial discovery 36 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.240 through trial and sentencing. The second edition, released last week, explores the 37 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.319 impact of cap and disclaimers and rap songs, adds caution to the use of 38 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.280 the term gangster rap, and examines a new state law that addresses rap lyrics 39 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.080 and the California Racial Justice Act. The rap Lyrics on Trial manual also discusses 40 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.479 implicit bias with the use of rap lyrics and rap videos in criminal prosecutions. 41 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:58.080 In Orange County, Corbin Carson KFI News Grossman Burn Center co founder Rebecca Grossman 42 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.879 is set to take the stand in Van Nuy's as testimony begins in her murder 43 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:06.479 trial. She's accused of killing two young brothers with her car in twenty twenty 44 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.599 as they crossed the street in Westlake Village. Grossman's lawyer claims she was not 45 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:14.879 the driver responsible for the deadly crash, which they say happened outside a crosswalk. 46 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.240 The mother of the eight and eleven year old brothers is also expected to 47 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:23.879 testify. Some zebras, camels, and miniature horses have been rescued from a 48 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.400 burning big rig in Indiana. The truck carrying the circus animals caught fire on 49 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.639 a highway early Saturday. The animals were treated for smoke inhalation, but they 50 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:39.360 were not hurt. Another truck later delivered the animals to their destination. President 51 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:44.319 Biden says the US shall respond, as you just heard, to the deaths 52 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.680 of three American soldiers killed in a drone attack on a base in northern Jordan 53 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.719 near the Syrian border. Biden held a moment of silence yesterday for the three 54 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.560 service members while at a church in South Carolina. Some members of Congress are 55 00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.439 pressing Biden to take action against Iran for backing the militia that launched the deadly 56 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.759 drone strike. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 57 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:08.680 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A lawyer for former President Trump in New York 58 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.680 has promised to appeal a jury's verdict ordering him to pay more than eighty three 59 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:17.480 million dollars to write Ejen Carroll in her defamation lawsuit. Attorney Alena Haba said 60 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.959 Friday, Americans were seeing a violation of our justice system. This is wrong. 61 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.399 But we are in the state of New York. We are in a 62 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.439 New York jury and that is why we are seeing these witch hunts, these 63 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.720 hoaxes, as he calls them, and this is another one of them be 64 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:38.639 brought in New York. Carol called the verdict a great victory for every woman 65 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:43.079 who stands up when she's been knocked down. Now, as you heard earlier, 66 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.680 President Biden is promising retaliation for that deadly attack on American service members in 67 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.759 Jordan. ABC's Karen Travers joins us live from the White House. Good morning, 68 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.759 Karen, Good morning. All right, So let's talk about initially, 69 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.360 is there any new information that we know about the attack. No, we're 70 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.000 just hearing now from the National security spokes named John Kirby, who's just speaking 71 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.920 literally right now on ABC's Good Morning America, and he said that the president 72 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:12.600 is considering options for what a response would be and that he is weighing this, 73 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.040 he'll do it in a time and manner of his choosing, and that 74 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:20.680 he is considering different options from his national security team right now. No surprise, 75 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.680 John Kirby would not get into what those options would look like, whether 76 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.439 that would be striking inside Iran. Kirby would not get ahead of any of 77 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.000 the president's decisions, but he said he would have options to look at, 78 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.480 and that the US is not looking for a broader war in the region and 79 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:40.959 not looking at a broader conflict with Iran. So I understand some members of 80 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.959 Congress are calling for a strong response here, and will that draw the US 81 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.839 further into this conflict in the Middle East. That's certainly a big concern at 82 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:54.079 the White House and the President saying we will hold those responsible to account, 83 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.120 and the President also saying yesterday we shall respond. Then you have to then 84 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.319 ask, of course, then what comes now? And notably the Chairman of 85 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.360 the Joint Chiefs of Staff, CQ. Brown, General c Q. Brown 86 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:09.399 did an interview with my colleague ABC's Martha Radditz just a couple of days before 87 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.160 this deadly attack, and this was one of the things they talked about. 88 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.959 She asked him what do you say to people who are saying that the US 89 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.800 is not being tough enough on these militants, that they're not being tough enough 90 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:23.680 on Iran and Brown. Now remember this is before this attack, he said, 91 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.240 he would say, do you want a broader conflict? Do you want 92 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.839 us in a full scale war? He said, the administration doesn't want to 93 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.720 go down a path of greater escalation that drives to a much broader conflict within 94 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.120 the region. That has been a big concern of the President and his team 95 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.560 over the course of the last couple of months with all of their response strikes 96 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.720 to these Iranian proxy attacks, because thus far they have been limited in their 97 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:54.240 response, largely striking storage facilities to try and hit these groups where they can 98 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:59.040 then no longer launch these types of attacks. So, how will this incident 99 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.399 impact US relations with Iran? Yeah, well, I mean they're obviously not 100 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.560 great at the moment. I think one of the other big questions too, 101 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:12.279 is how does this potentially impact the conversations that are taking place broadly in the 102 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:16.480 region over a ceasefire in Gaza, The conversations that the administration is very deeply 103 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:21.560 involved in to try and bring about a longer pause between Israel and Hamas, 104 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.439 and John Kirby was asked about this, you know, whether there are concerns 105 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.000 that any US retaliation could complicate those talks. I think that is something that 106 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.920 is certainly going to be talked about in Washington this week because of where those 107 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:41.000 conversations stand and reports that they're very close to striking a larger deal that could 108 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.639 potentially secure the release of hostages. Kirby said, you wouldn't get ahead of 109 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.720 those talks. That those conversations continue and they've been constructive, but they believe 110 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:53.560 that, you know, even despite these this weekend's events and this attacks, 111 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.959 those conversations need to go forward. Now. I know that Kirby wasn't wanting 112 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.959 to get ahead of the president. And there has to be some speculation as 113 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.040 to what the options are that President Biden has here for retaliation. What can 114 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:13.000 he do? And is it possible that it will be a smaller retaliation versus 115 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.920 like something more large scale. I'm not going to speculate. I'll just say 116 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.199 that, yeah, that is not my place to do, but I will 117 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.800 say exactly what the president is right exactly. I wish I knew, But 118 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:30.160 the Pentagon has long had options for striking Iran itself. I think it's also 119 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.200 notable though, that Iran is denying it had a role in this attack. 120 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.840 Iran is saying that these accusations are baseless and that the militan groups don't take 121 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.080 orders from Iran, and that Iran doesn't want to start a war and engage 122 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.240 in the conflict with the United States. John Kirby again this morning, was 123 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.240 saying like, look, we know that they are supporting them. We know 124 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.320 that they are giving them tacit approval to do these types of things, So 125 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.879 you know whether or not they are directing orders here, they are playing a 126 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.559 role in this. Karen Travers, thank you so much. And I apologize 127 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.240 that I'm losing my voice this morning. I promised next next time, next 128 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.120 time we speak, it will not be so gravelly and rough. I know 129 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.960 that feeling. I've been there all the time. Oh yeah, that's miserable. 130 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:13.799 Well, thank you so much for your time. I appreciate it. 131 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.759 I have a great day you too. All right, let's get back to 132 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.360 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. CIA 133 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:26.120 director William Burns is set to meet in Paris with Qatar's Prime minister and the 134 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:30.639 director of Israel's intelligence agency to try to break a deadlock in talks for a 135 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.080 new hostage deal between Israel and Hamas. ABC's Matt Gutman says negotiators are making 136 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.440 progress on a deal. It's rael A's Prime Minister benjam Minute Tanya who has 137 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.840 been under enormous domestic pressure to bring those hostages home. His office calling those 138 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:50.240 talks constructive and saying that the significant gaps that exist could be hammered out in 139 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.559 talks coming up this week. Gutman says the agreement would give Hamas a two 140 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.440 month cease fire in exchange for more than one hundred hostages. He says it 141 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.960 would have all in several stages, with women, the elderly and wounded released 142 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:09.120 first. Israel would also release Palestinian prisoners and allow more aid into Gaza. 143 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.759 The space shuttle Endeavor is expected to make its final flight as it's lifted above 144 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.919 the California Science Center in Exposition Park so it can be lowered in a place 145 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.080 for its vertical launch ready display. The final move could happen tonight or early 146 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.320 tomorrow, depending on the weather. Endeavor was retired from spaceflight thirteen years ago. 147 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.799 And has been on display horizontally at the Science Center for more than a 148 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:39.879 decade. A snowboarder has spent fifteen hours trapped overnight inside a ski lift gondola 149 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.639 at a resort in Lake Tahoe. The woman says she caught the gondola at 150 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.960 Heavenly Ski Resort Thursday, expecting to ride it down the mountain, but the 151 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.240 lift stopped just minutes later. She says she yelled for help, but no 152 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.679 one heard her. She wasn't found until the lift started again on Friday. 153 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:03.799 That's terrifying. A man stabbed in Long Beach is in critical condition. Police 154 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.919 say the attack happened just before seven point thirty last night on Magnolia Avenue between 155 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.679 ninth and eleventh Street. Officers did first date until paramedics arrived, but the 156 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.960 attacker got away. You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI AM 157 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.039 six forty. The Casey Chiefs will face the forty nine Ers in the Super 158 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.840 Bowl, but most people won't be watching the players on the field and will 159 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.720 tell you what they could be watching instead. The IRS says it has been 160 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:37.039 working hard to make filing taxes a more easy and smooth process. Climate activists 161 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.759 have tossed soup at the glass protecting the Mona Lisa at the Louver Museum in 162 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:48.120 Paris. The activists said that they want to draw attention to unsustainable food production 163 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:54.720 and hunger in France. And at six oh five, it's handle on the 164 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.360 news, A key negotiator and a possible border deal says that a deal could 165 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:05.679 be ready to go to the Senate in the coming days. Let's get back 166 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.559 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 167 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:15.039 Tax season has started. Americans can start filing their twenty twenty three federal income 168 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:20.840 tax returns today.

IRS dot gov has been updated with 170 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:31.519 new tools for taxpayers, and our call and walk in centers are fully staffed 171 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.279 with trained as sisters ready to help those who call or who want face to 172 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.320 face help. He says. The IRS has been rewriting almost all of its 173 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:45.320 letters and notices and putting them into plane language, and they've been getting a 174 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:50.720 much better response from taxpayers. The White House says Iranian backed militants have killed 175 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:56.039 three US service members in a drone attack on a US base in Jordan near 176 00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.279 the Syrian border. About three hundred and fifty US Army and Air Force Force 177 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.679 personnel are deployed at that base in Jordan that came under attack, but in 178 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.600 this case, air defenses failed to intercept the drone attack. ABC's m Wynn 179 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:15.039 says some members of Congress are demanding the White House do more to deter Iranian 180 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.639 aggression. Senator Lindsay Graham says he's calling on the Biden administration to strike targets 181 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:24.440 of significance inside Iran as deterrence against future aggression. Iran has denied any involvement 182 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:30.600 in the drone attack. The International Court of Justice is urging Israel to prevent 183 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.279 attacks of genocide against Palestinians. The Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who says the 184 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.159 war against Hamas will continue. ABC's Jordana Miller is live in Jerusalem with more 185 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:46.360 details. Good morning, Jordana, Good morning. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 186 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.440 n'ataniel, as you said, is vowing that the war will go on. 187 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:58.279 He's been very critical of the International Court of Justices ruling. It stopped short 188 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.759 of calling for a cease fire, but even in its ruling that Israel has 189 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:09.720 to report back in a month, the Israeli Prime ministers said Israel's following international 190 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:15.519 law and almost everything the Court asked of Israel, it is already doing. 191 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:22.600 Natania was called that case a hypocritical, absurd what he calls another sign of 192 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.559 the upside down world, where Israel has been very clear that its aim is 193 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:33.759 to destroy and dismantle a terror group and not attack or wipe out part or 194 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:41.720 whole of the Palestinian population in Gaza. Now, why isn't the Court insisting 195 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:50.480 on a cease fire. Well, clearly the Court did not hear enough preliminary 196 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:58.840 evidence that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and therefore did not act in 197 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.399 an emergency measure calling Israel to halt its war. Now it said, there's 198 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.759 enough that was presented for a case that it will hear, which could take 199 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:18.159 could take years. But there was obviously nothing that was so desperately concerning to 200 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:24.720 the Court and Israel, it must be said, released dozens of secret documents, 201 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:30.399 declassified them and gave them to the court to show that the decisions made 202 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:35.320 at the highest level by the war cabinet always took into consideration civilian lives and 203 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:41.559 made it clear that its aims were against the terrors group Hamas. In other 204 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.480 words, the court had presented statements by far right leaders who were not involved 205 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:52.639 in the war, or just far right leaders in general, even though some 206 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.679 of them could be part of the government, who had made very extreme statements. 207 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.120 And in that case the Court said that Israel needs to punish those who 208 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:08.399 even incite to genocide. But again, Israel's Attorney General had already started to 209 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:15.559 put out warnings and start the process against some of the ministers in the government 210 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:21.919 who had made insightful comments like you know, let's drop a nuclear bomb on 211 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.840 Gaza for example. That was one minister who, by the way, was 212 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:32.200 suspended from the government and then will likely face legal charges as well from the 213 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:36.879 Attorney General. So what power does the court have to actually hold Israel accountable 214 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:42.080 if they don't follow these requests that they've made. Well, that's a good 215 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:48.799 question. The Court's rulings are binding, but not they can't really enforce the 216 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:53.399 rulings. So if Israel were, for example, to not hand in a 217 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:59.879 report in a month's time as it has been asked to then the issue could 218 00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:04.400 be picked up by the UN Security Council and the UN Security Council could try 219 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:11.279 to pass sanctions on Israel. Likely they would almost certainly be letoed by the 220 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:17.960 US. But if Israel doesn't comply with the Court, then it can take 221 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.759 it would some of the of its rulings would go over to the UN Security 222 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:29.759 Council, where there would be some kind of punishment or accountability for not for 223 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.079 not listening to the Court. Okay, it seems like we're going to have 224 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:38.799 to be watching this closely to see if Israel does what's asked, and you 225 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:44.119 know what the next steps will be. So Jordana Miller, live in Jerusalem, 226 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:48.720 thank you so much for your time this morning. Thank you. All 227 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.559 right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 228 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:56.599 twenty four hour newsroom. Climate activists have tossed soup at the glass protecting the 229 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:02.519 Mona Lisa at the Louver Museum in Pairs. They also shouted slogans calling for 230 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.440 a sustainable food system. Farmers in France have been protecting protesting for days over 231 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:12.000 several issues, including low wages. They're using their tractors to set up roadblocks 232 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:17.519 and slow traffic across France to push for better pay for their produce, less 233 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:22.440 red tape and protection against cheap imports. France's Interior Ministry has ordered the deployment 234 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:27.599 of security forces around Paris. The wreckage of a plane appears to have been 235 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:33.440 found close to where Amelia Earhart was believed to have gone down after refueling in 236 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:40.000 Papua New Guinea. ABC's Allison Cossack says Tony Romeo with the exploration company deep 237 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:45.079 Sea Vision, recently searched across fifty two hundred square miles of the Pacific Ocean 238 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.119 floor using an unmanned submersible. In the final leg of the expedition, the 239 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:53.839 team captured a sonar image of what looks like an object shaped like an airplane 240 00:18:53.960 --> 00:19:00.039 resting underwater within one hundred miles of Howland Island. Romeo says he was he 241 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.279 wasn't surprised to find the aircraft intact because he always felt Earhart would have made 242 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:10.359 every attempt to land the aircraft gently on the water. Princess Kate has been 243 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:15.079 released from a hospital in London. She's said to be making good progress following 244 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:21.000 abdominal surgery. CIA director William Burns is set to meet in Paris with Qatar's 245 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:25.319 prime minister and the new director of Israel's intelligence agency to try to break a 246 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:30.319 deadlock in talks for a new hostage deal between Israel and Hamas. ABC's Matt 247 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.359 Gutman says negotiators are making progress on a deal. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Atanyahu 248 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:40.799 has been under enormous domestic pressure to bring those hostages home, his office calling 249 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:45.119 those talks constructive and saying that the significant gaps that exist could be hammered out 250 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:49.279 in talks coming up this week. Gutman says the agreement would give Hamas a 251 00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:53.240 two month ceasefire in exchange for more than one hundred hostages. He says it 252 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:57.559 would evolve in several stages, with women, the elderly and wounded released first. 253 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.519 Israel would also release Palestinian prisoners and allow more aid into Gaza. SpaceX 254 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:10.119 sent another twenty two Starlink Internet satellites into orbit, DIGNII mansions, Full Power 255 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:18.039 and lists of Go Falcon and Go Starling. The Falcon nine rocket launched from 256 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.400 VanderBurg Space Force Space just before ten last night. It was the ninth flight 257 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.559 for the first stage rocket boosters supporting the mission. It safely landed on a 258 00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.640 drone ship in the Pacific Ocean. When we come back, we'll talk about 259 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.400 President Biden's approval numbers. Right now, Southland weather from KFI, Sunny highs 260 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:38.440 in the mid seventies for Metro La and oc hies will reach the low seventies 261 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.839 at the beaches, Sunny highs in the mid sixties, round seventy in the 262 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.720 Annealop Valley and i E with more sunshine and highs in the seventies coming on 263 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.680 Tuesday.

You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI Am six forty. 265 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.319 Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. This woman 266 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.240 has been arrested for allegedly killing her four year old daughter in East La. 267 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.960 Kate, the Princess of Wales, has been discharged from London hospital and is 268 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:14.640 making good progress after abdominal surgery, and the British government says it's going to 269 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.160 ban the sale of disposable vapes and limit their flavors to try to keep kids 270 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:22.759 from becoming addicted to nicotine. Then at six p'o oh five it's handled. 271 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:26.720 On the news, a snowboarder spent fifteen hours trapped over nine in the ski 272 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:32.279 lift gondola at Lake Tahoe Resort. We'll tell you how she survived. Then 273 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.799 at five point fifty, we're going to talk about the swift Bowl. All 274 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.519 right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 275 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:42.240 twenty four hour newsroom. The White House says of running back to militants have 276 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:47.039 killed three US service members and a drone attack on a US base in Jordan 277 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.920 near the Syrian border. About three hundred and fifty US Army and Air Force 278 00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:56.319 personnel are deployed at that base in Jordan that came under attack, but in 279 00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.160 this case, air defenses failed to intercept the drone attack. ABC's m no 280 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:04.839 Winn says some members of Congress are demanding the White House do more to deter 281 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:11.559 Iranian aggression. Senator Lindsay Graham says he's calling on the Biden administration to strike 282 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:17.799 targets of significance inside Iran as deterrence against future aggression. LA police are trying 283 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:22.200 to figure out why a man in Granada Hills killed his family and then himself. 284 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.759 Police were called to a home Saturday evening by a woman barricaded in a 285 00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:29.480 room. Officers had to force their way into the home, where they found 286 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.759 the bodies of an elderly couple and their two adult children. The shooter has 287 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:38.279 been identified as seventy five Rodrigo de Leon. A woman has been arrested for 288 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:45.079 allegedly killing four year old daughter in East LA Sheriff's deputies were called to a 289 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.160 business parking lot late Thursday night, where they found the child unresponsive in a 290 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.640 vehicle. She later died at the hospital. Cause of death was reported as 291 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:57.680 combined effects of strangulation and sharp force. The mom was also found in the 292 00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:03.720 car. She was later looked on suspicion of murder. Criminology experts at UC 293 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.759 Irvine Law School have dropped a remix of legal guide called rap Lyrics on Trial 294 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:11.640 Murder. What's the Case that the u SE Irvine professor say The legal guide 295 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.960 has helped attorney's nationwide who are dealing with rap evidence in criminal proceedings from initial 296 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:21.279 discovery through trial and sentencing. The second edition, released last week, explores 297 00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:25.599 the impact of capin disclaimers in rap songs adds caution to the use of the 298 00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:29.680 term gangster rap and examines a new state law that addresses rap lyrics and the 299 00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:34.119 California Racial Justice Act.

President Biden's approval rating is the second worst rating 302 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:49.920 by any of the eleven presidents who have served since Eisenhower took office. ABC's 303 00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:55.480 Steve Roberts joins US Live from Washington with more on how the economy is to 304 00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.599 blame. Good morning, Steve, Yes, you're absolutely right. The economy 305 00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:03.119 is the single biggest reason why Biden's numbers are so miserable. There's been this 306 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:10.799 enormous hangover from the inflation and the other economic disruptions of the pandemic years, 307 00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:17.119 and people are still feeling badly about the economy. Two thirds of Americans say 308 00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:21.640 the country's headed in the wrong direction. Three out of five are negative about 309 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:26.799 Biden's handling an economy. But there's a big butt here. The latest economic 310 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:33.079 news shows a brightening stock markets that records a few weeks ago inflation is actually 311 00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.799 much more under control than it's been. Economy's growing. Jobs are available, 312 00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:44.640 and that means that looking forward and a possibility, that's all it is. 313 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.920 It's a possibility that a brightening economic outlook will have a significant effect on this 314 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:56.000 election because people start feeling more hopeful about the future, more hopeful about the 315 00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:59.079 economy. This is going to help Joe Biden. If you look at the 316 00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:04.039 latest figures from University of Michigan, they the best survey of consumer sentiment in 317 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:11.759 the country, and for two months now the index has gone sharply upward to 318 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:17.079 the point where Americans are now as hopeful as they were in July of twenty 319 00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:21.559 twenty one when the pandemic really crushed the hard out of the economy. So 320 00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:23.880 if that continues, it could be a very important factor in this election. 321 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.000 Now. How you know, people love to talk about the bad economy, 322 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:32.160 you know, and you know, I was just talking with a friend last 323 00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:33.599 week who was saying, like, Oh, the economy is terrible, but 324 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:40.720 how bad is it really? Well, it depends on who you are, 325 00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:45.480 right if you you know, if you if you have a job and you've 326 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.759 gotten a raised, the economy is good. If your kid got laid off. 327 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:59.680 The economy is bad, but in general the numbers show significant improvement. 328 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.519 That's why the stock market hit a record because the investors in Wall Street are 329 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:08.759 betting on a positive future. The Federal Reserve, in order to ring inflation 330 00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:11.960 out of the economy, had to raise interest rates, you know, a 331 00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:18.759 dozen times. But the big fear was that this would kick the economy into 332 00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.039 recession. But it hasn't happened. They've had what sometimes of economists call a 333 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:29.680 soft landing. They've able to enable somehow to reduce inflation without triggering a recession. 334 00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:33.200 And so people who are looking at the economy, economists, investors are 335 00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:38.279 saying the outlook is bright. That the Federal Reserve is likely to start cutting 336 00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:44.839 interest rates going into the new year, which will only trigger more economic activity, 337 00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.039 makes it easier for people to borrow, easier for people to afford a 338 00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.720 house. So the if that continues, I keep saying if, because there's 339 00:26:52.720 --> 00:27:00.880 no guarantee, But the if, the if, the move that has been 340 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.920 so negative and so sour for years now, if that starts to brighten, 341 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.200 it can have a big impact on the election because you talk about all these 342 00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:11.640 other issues, you talk about the border, you talk about immigration, you 343 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.599 talk about Ukraine, you talk about gossip. These are important issues to many 344 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:23.119 people, but they are abstractions in Los Angeles and everywhere else. The economy 345 00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:29.279 is a real world, everyday issue for every family who's listening to us right 346 00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.519 now, every family that lives in southern California. And that's why the economy 347 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:40.279 always trumps everything else. That's why inflation was so damaging to Biden for years 348 00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:45.680 now. But the very mechanism, because the economy is so powerful, the 349 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:49.759 very fact that it hurt Biden so badly for two years, means it could 350 00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:55.279 also help him if it turns up with and that's what we're looking starting to 351 00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:59.200 see in some of these numbers. Well, it will definitely be something we'll 352 00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:02.519 have to keep an eye and I'm curious to see how it changes over the 353 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.759 next several months. So thank you so much, Teve for taking the time 354 00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:08.920 to talk with us this morning. Sure, anytime, All right, let's 355 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:12.200 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 356 00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:17.880 newsroom.

Grossman's lawyers claim she was not the driver responsible for the 360 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.559 deadly crash, which they say happen outside a crosswalk. The mother of the 361 00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:41.640 eight and eleven year old brothers is also expected to testify. Some zebras, 362 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.519 camels, and a miniature horse have been rescued from a burning big rig in 363 00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.440 Indiana. The truck carrying the circus animals caught fire on a highway early Saturday. 364 00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:53.000 The animals were treated for smoke inhalation, but they were not hurt. 365 00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:59.759 Another truck later delivered the animals to their destination.

The Pentagon says the injuries include shrapnel wounds and possible traumatic 381 00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:30.799 brain injuries. President Biden held a moment of silence yesterday while a church in 382 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:34.680 South Carolina.

Mexico is acknowledging that 384 00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:45.839 at least two well known Mayan ruined sites are unreachable by visitors because of a 385 00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:49.640 cartel violence or land disputes, but two tourist guides in the southern state of 386 00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:56.960 Chappas says the routes to two other sites have been drug gang checkpoints and many 387 00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:00.039 groups are avoiding trips there as well.

All right, so I'm gonna I'm gonna recruit Tony and Ann to 400 00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.400 help me with this next part because I am very excited. Are you guys 401 00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:05.480 football fans? Are you? Did you watch any of the big games yesterday? 402 00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:10.799 Yes? I did? Okay? Are you a Chiefs fan or forty 403 00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:13.960 nine Ers? We shouldell everybody if you haven't heard yet, the Chiefs and 404 00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:16.200 the forty nine Ers will be facing off in the Super Bowl. So Anne, 405 00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:19.880 are you a Chiefs or a forty nine Ers fan? No? Absolutely 406 00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:23.599 not. Tony? What about you? No, really, I'm just watch 407 00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:28.079 games. You know you just watched that. And do you have a team? 408 00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:30.279 Yes, I'm a huge Charger fan. Okay, all right, so 409 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:36.039 the Charge So your team is not in it? But what if? What 410 00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:39.519 if? I think this is going to be the most watched Super Bowl ever 411 00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:45.079 because of Taylor Swift. Yes, I know. NFL is so happy. 412 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.480 I'm sure happy that the chefs wan over the moon about it. So if 413 00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:58.079 you don't know, Taylor Swift is dating Chiefs titan Travis Kelcey and all these 414 00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.759 news stories have been coming out since yesterday, and my TikTok feed is filled 415 00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:06.480 with people who are wondering if she will be able to make it to the 416 00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:10.920 game because she has a concert in Japan the day before. And I literally 417 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:16.839 watch someone do like a diagram and a presentation on how Taylor Swift can make 418 00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:21.680 it to this game. I think more people are excited to tune in and 419 00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:27.119 see Taylor Swift than the actual game itself. So my next question, are 420 00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.160 you, guys, Swifties, will you watch the game just to see if 421 00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:35.240 Taylor makes it and her boyfriend wins? Again? Absolutely not. I'm going 422 00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.599 to watch the game, of course, but I'm not a Swiftian. I 423 00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:40.920 don't care, all right, sorry, but I know a lot of people 424 00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:45.680 do. I'm in Yeah, I'm not the majority. Okay, fair enough, 425 00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:47.519 Tony. Are you Swifty? No? And if I see one more 426 00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:51.799 cutaway to her, I'll probably not watch the game, Honestly. You know 427 00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:53.559 a lot of people, a lot of the fans are pretty are upset that 428 00:33:53.599 --> 00:34:00.200 they keep doing that during so over it. Well, I'm not a Swift 429 00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:02.440 but I love a good love story, you guys, So I am just 430 00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:07.599 rooting for love, that's all. I used to live in the Kansas City 431 00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:10.079 area when I first started out as a reporter, so just sort of buy, 432 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:15.159 you know location. I became a Chiefs fan when I lived in that 433 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.559 area. So I'm rooting for the Chiefs and I'm rooting for love. That's 434 00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:21.079 all. That's all I want to say. All right, So this is 435 00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:23.400 a really cool story that I want. I think it's so funny. So 436 00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:30.559 there was a couple in Wisconsin that delivered their baby in a McDonald's parking lot, 437 00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:37.519 and they gave their baby a nickname that was McDonald's themed. Any guesses 438 00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:42.559 on what that might be? Did you read it already? No? I 439 00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:45.920 didn't actually, but if I say it a little nugget, see, that 440 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:50.960 would be my first joy. Yes, no, they named it Tony. 441 00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:54.199 You have any guesses? No, Tony, I can't hear you. All 442 00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:57.480 right, we gotta get marked in here too. Mark Wheeler, are you 443 00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.440 there? Do you have any guesses on what this couple might have na their 444 00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:06.519 baby and the McDonald's parking lot? No, all right, I will tell 445 00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:13.920 you it's little mcflurry. That's cute. But little Nugget is yeah, I 446 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:17.920 mean, little Nugget seems like the obvious choice, but little mcflurry is so 447 00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:23.519 specific and unnecessary. But anyway, the baby is healthy and fine, all 448 00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:27.000 right. So this kind of makes me sad, but it is not surprising. 449 00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:32.559 Rent prices in California's largest cities are down yay everywhere except Los Angeles, 450 00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:39.599 so according to rent dot com, we are still have the highest rent. 451 00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:46.280 The average rent in LA is thirty five hundred dollars a month. It's just 452 00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:52.880 so sad and frustrating. And I don't know how anybody is surviving out here. 453 00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:58.880 Honestly, it's sometimes I don't know how I'm surviving. All right. 454 00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.800 This is a debate that is happening for that keeps going on daylight savings time. 455 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.440 Some people have been trying for years to get rid of daylight savings time, 456 00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:13.159 but I don't think that's ever going to happen. And now there's this 457 00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:17.880 new like back and forth, you know, debate on whether or not someone 458 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.199 will actually get rid of daylight savings time. I just feel like we would 459 00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:27.039 all be very confused if that happened. What time is it? We would 460 00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:30.519 not I mean, we're so used to this daylight savings the system as we 461 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:34.440 know it, that if we got rid of that. I just feel like 462 00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:37.440 we would all be so very lost. That's just my two cents. No 463 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:43.119 one asked, all right, let's get back to some of the stories coming 464 00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:46.719 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A lawyer for former President Trump 465 00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:51.280 in New York has promised to appeal a jury's verdict ordering him to pay more 466 00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:55.159 than eighty three million dollars to write her Egene Carroll in her defamation lawsuit. 467 00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:00.840 Attorney Alina Haba said Friday, Americans, we're seeing a violation of our justice 468 00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:04.320 system. This is wrong. But we are in the state of New York. 469 00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:06.880 We are in a New York jury and that is why we are seeing 470 00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.119 these witch hunts, these hoaxes, as he calls them, and this is 471 00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:15.639 another one of them be brought in New York. Carol called the verdict a 472 00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:20.679 great victory for every woman who stands up when she's been knocked down. CIA 473 00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:24.480 director William Burns is set to meet in Paris with Qatar's Prime minister and the 474 00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:30.400 director of Israel's intelligence agency to try to break a deadlock in talks for a 475 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:36.159 new hostage deal between Israel and Hamas ABC's Matt Gutman says negotiators are making progress 476 00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:40.079 on a deal. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Atanyahu has been under enormous domestic pressure 477 00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:45.400 to bring those hostages home, his office calling those talks constructive and saying that 478 00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:51.320 the significant gaps that exist could be hammered out in talks coming up this week. 479 00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.480 Gutman says the agreement would give Hamas a two months cease fire in exchange 480 00:37:55.480 --> 00:38:00.679 for more than one hundred hostages. He said it would evolve in so stages, 481 00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:05.480 with women, the elderly and wounded released first. Israel would also release 482 00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:14.880 Palestinian prisoners and allow more aid into Gaza. A snowboarder has spent pardon me, 483 00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:20.159 had a little bit of a cough. A snowboarder has spent fifteen hours 484 00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:23.679 trapped overnight inside a ski lift gondola at a resort in Link Tahoe. The 485 00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:29.480 woman says she caught the gondola at Heavenly Ski Resort on Thursday, expecting to 486 00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:32.239 write it down the mountain, but the lift stopped just minutes later. She 487 00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:36.519 says she yelled for help, but no one hurt her. She was found. 488 00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:40.440 She wasn't found until the lift started again on Friday. Tax season has 489 00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:45.039 started and Americans can start filing their twenty twenty three federal income tax returns on 490 00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:50.960 Monday, that's today. IRS Commissioner Danny Wirfol says the agency is ready to 491 00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:54.519 make the filing process as smooth and easy as possible. IRIS do gov has 492 00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:59.559 been updated with new tools for tax players, and our call and walk in 493 00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:04.360 center are fully staffed with trained sisters ready to help those who call or who 494 00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.760 want face to face help. He says. The IRS has been rewriting almost 495 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:12.880 all of its letters and notices and putting them into plane language and has been 496 00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:17.440 getting a much better response from taxpayers. The Space Shuttle Endeavor is expected to 497 00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:22.280 make its final flight as it's lifted above the California Science Center and Exposition Park 498 00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:27.920 so it can be lowered into place for its vertical launch ready display. The 499 00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:31.559 final move could happen tonight or early tomorrow, depending on the weather. Endeavor 500 00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:37.480 was retired from spaceflight thirteen years ago and has been on display horizontally at the 501 00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:40.119 Science Center for more than a decade.

In the final leg of the 507 00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:08.159 expedition, the team captured a sonar image of what looks like an object shaped 508 00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:15.480 like an airplane resting underwater within one hundred miles of Howland Island. Romeo says 509 00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:20.320 he wasn't surprised to find the aircraft intact because he always felt Earhart would have 510 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:24.000 made every attempt to land the aircraft gently on the water.
