00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.280
You're listening to kf I AM six
forty wake Up Call with me Amy King

2
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:12.640
on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
It's time for your morning wake up call.

3
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:29.079
Here's any King. This is your
wake up call for Monday, August

4
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:35.000
twenty feet. I'm Amy King.
Good morning, nice saggy one for us

5
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:41.560
driving in had some standing water on
the freeway. So my advice to you

6
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.240
if you're out and about today,
because it looks like the the you know,

7
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.799
the storm's kind of tapering out,
go a little bit slower because,

8
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:56.679
especially until it gets light, you
don't really see where there's standing water,

9
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.119
and you don't know about it until
you kind of hit it and start hydroplaning.

10
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.599
My fun thing that I saw on
the way in this morning on Riverside

11
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:10.040
Drive with sprinklers going full force.
I thought that was fun, Like,

12
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.159
you know, maybe they should have
turned those off for today. For the

13
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.879
most part, I know that there
was some flooding. I know that there

14
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:21.079
has been a lot of rain,
but for where I was yesterday, it

15
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.799
was just rain. I had the
doors open all day. It was like

16
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.200
seventy five degrees and at my house
I got no wind. I don't know

17
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:32.040
if you guys got wind, but
I got no wind. And then I

18
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.239
just slept like a baby because having
the rainfall. It was like one of

19
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.519
those sleep machines. So hopefully you
had a good experience. It wasn't a

20
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.319
great experience for everybody. We got
a lot going on today. We're gonna

21
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.920
give you the latest on the storm. We're gonna let you know what else

22
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.799
is going on in the world.
So get your coffee. Buckle up years

23
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.400
so it's ahead on the wake up
call. Hillary has been downgraded to a

24
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:59.799
post tropical cyclone as it continues to
dump on the Southwest. Hillary's maximum sustained

25
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.840
wind to fall into thirty five miles
per hour. Kids in La public schools

26
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.560
get the day off. Superintendent Alberto
Carvallo says the move is being made out

27
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.800
of an abundance of caution as Hillary
moves through the region. Burbank and Pasadena

28
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.360
schools are also closed. Anaheim schools
are closed to Palm Springs is under a

29
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:23.520
state of emergency after seeing its heaviest
hourly rainfall total on record. Dozens of

30
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:29.800
cars became trapped in the floodwaters.
Indio has also declared a state of emergency.

31
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:31.520
So let's get started. With some
of the stories coming out of the

32
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:37.280
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hillary
has been soaking the Southland. One to

33
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.879
four inches of rain has fallen across
the valleys and more in the deserts and

34
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.439
mountains. Saugus got about five and
a half inches of rain as of last

35
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.800
night. Officials in LA reported more
than a dozen cases of flooding across the

36
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:54.080
city and more than five thousand l
A DWP customers lost electricity yesterday, with

37
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.879
boil Heights in Hollywood among the hardest
hit areas. There were also reports of

38
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.560
power lines, down, trees down, debris flows. Lake County Board of

39
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:09.319
Supervisor's chair Janice hansigned an emergency declaration
yesterday to speed up any state and federal

40
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.360
assistance well because of that flooding.
Five cars in Sun Valley got stuck on

41
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.039
a road. Firefighters had to help
at least one person get out of their

42
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.840
car last night on Sherman Way at
Hershey Drive. Nobody was hurt. Hurricane

43
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.319
Hillary warnings may have kept most people
away from Huntington Beach, but one surfer

44
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.400
headed straight into the storms. Sweet
there'll be some swell Finally, this surfer

45
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.599
says she wants to experience God's nature. The wind in the drifts just much

46
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.159
more powerful. She said yesterday,
she's staying out even as Hillary rolled in.

47
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.520
The tide should be dropping. It
should be good. It's high tide

48
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.919
right now, so they'll get better. So you're going back out there,

49
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:49.800
yes. Ocy Sheriff Don Barnes says
mudslide danger in canyon areas will be monitored

50
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.560
even after the rain stops, the
Jessica Canyon and Silverado Canyon, and that's

51
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.919
because of the debris flow potential as
a result of the recent bonfire in Silverado

52
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.680
Canyon Corbin. A bunch of colleges
have canceled in person classes today because of

53
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.840
Hillary. That includes cow State,
Long Beach, cal State, LA,

54
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:13.479
and all LA Community College District campuses. The nine impacted community colleges are going

55
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.639
to do classes remotely or canceled them
all together. Normal operations are expected again

56
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:23.480
tomorrow. Some of southern California's desert
communities could get a year's worth of rain

57
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.800
in about a day because of what
was Tropical Storm Hillary. That includes Death

58
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.199
Valley, where some flooding was reported. The storm will undoubtedly set an August

59
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.480
rainfall record for LA. As we
told you we got lots of rain in

60
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:39.680
the city. It's historically the driest
month in the region. Average rainfall total

61
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:44.959
for the month is zero inches.
And as if a hurricane wasn't enough,

62
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.279
at least seventeen after shocks have followed
the magnitude five point one earthquake that hit

63
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:53.680
Ventura County. The main quake at
yesterday afternoon centered four miles southeast of o

64
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:59.199
High. The after shocks range between
magnitudes two point eight and three point six.

65
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.120
This is the first time we've had
a magnitude five since nineteen thirty two

66
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:08.319
in exactly this location. That's quake
expert doctor Lucy Jones. She says the

67
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:13.680
earthquake was probably not caused by all
the rain. She called it a coincidence.

68
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.759
And now let's say good morning to
ABC's Alex Stone. Alex, we

69
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:23.000
got a hurt quake. Oh man, it wasn't it crazy? It was

70
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.160
so did you feel it? I
didn't, you know. I was on

71
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:29.519
the phone or like my best friend
yesterday afternoon who was up in Oregon,

72
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.000
and we're talking about the rain,
and we're all like, oh yeah,

73
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.680
and it's not so bad. And
then I get this alert that says we've

74
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.639
got a quake detected in your areas, stop drop roll or whatever, and

75
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.120
you thought, oh, they got
that wrong, and my storm in the

76
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.079
area. I know, that's exactly
what I thought. Then I checked my

77
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.519
quake feed, and then I grabbed
my cats and made sure that they were

78
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.439
safe. But I didn't feel it
at all. Yeah, we were in

79
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:57.560
Santa Clarita and everything started shaking,
and kids came running downstairs yelling, earthquake,

80
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.720
earthquake, and then by that point
then the shakiler was going off and

81
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.519
everything else. And then overnight there
was one probably around eleven o'clock one of

82
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:09.639
the aftershocks that woke me up that
you could hear the house moving and knew

83
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:14.319
immediately what it was. So it's
it's been nuts. But on the Hillary,

84
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.920
it is now a post tropical cyclone
sitting over central Nevada, so it

85
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:24.120
is moved on. This double whammy
should be clearing out today. I mean,

86
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.800
as folks are getting out about right
Nowaday, they know that there's still

87
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.560
some rain that that's lingering, but
for the most part it's now gone.

88
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:35.319
And the flooding levels in the areas
like Palm Springs where there was a little

89
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:40.199
bit that's beginning to to Colm down, so we should be in the clear

90
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.920
now. Things should be better today
with school many of the schools canceled today.

91
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.360
Hopefully clean up, let you know, everybody's nerves come back together,

92
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:55.000
and then get to get back to
routines tomorrow. But the bread missing out

93
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.800
of the stores they will restock today. The bottled water that everybody loaded up

94
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.120
on that hopefully this is a kind
of the end of it, hopefully the

95
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.360
aftershocks, and we heard from this
lady in Ohi. She was right at

96
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:11.199
the epicenter and she definitely felt it. There was a big jolt and my

97
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.759
house started shaking, and I heard
a crack which turned out to be the

98
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.519
tile on my porch, and I
jumped up and then it was over.

99
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:21.040
Yeah, that's kind of how quick
it it felt where I was as well.

100
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.079
I know a lot of people was
shake alert. That was kind of

101
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.480
the first time it seemed to have
worked, and they depending on how far

102
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:32.480
you were away from the epicenter.
That folks actually got warnings before the shaking

103
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:38.680
started, and Santa Clarita was kind
of simultaneous because we were so close to

104
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.319
Ohi. But that it did work
and people got you know, half a

105
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.720
second, a second before they actually
felt it. But it seems a courting

106
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:53.560
to Lucy Jones, total coincidence,
but a what a crazy twenty four hours?

107
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.120
Yeah, and then crazy too.
Like you mentioned, there was the

108
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:01.079
jolt last night that woke you up. But after that first five point one,

109
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.800
then they just kept coming in and
kept coming out. Oh my gosh,

110
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:05.959
there's another one. Oh, there's
another one, and a lot of

111
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.439
them were twos, but they were
like up to three point six and you

112
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.800
can definitely feel that if you're close
to it, so that it was just

113
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.120
sort of a surreal, freaky thing
yesterday. I mean the timing because it's

114
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:22.399
been I don't know, I think
since Crested earthquake that we've felt anything.

115
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.000
I don't know about you, but
it's been years since we've felt an earthquake,

116
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.639
and for this to come on the
same day, and then, you

117
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.679
know, Lucy Jones points out there's
a one in twenty chance and this was

118
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:39.200
a four shock to something bigger that
we know now that there were four shocks

119
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.720
on Saturday to yesterday's quake, and
that there could highly unlikely, but there

120
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.600
could be this. There might be
a four shock to something in the next

121
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.080
couple of days. So that's always
in the back of the mind of what

122
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.480
if, will we be ready and
maybe just have the plan ready to go

123
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.399
in case it is a four shock
to something. But there were a lot

124
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.799
of aftershocks, and they were coming
in hot and heavy well, and they're

125
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.039
continuing. There was one at four
twenty two this morning. At two point

126
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.519
three, there was a two point
one they're waking up with. That was

127
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.679
not maybe the end of it.
Yeah, I mean these are Oh and

128
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.519
then at twelve fifty one this morning
there was a three point zero, so

129
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.960
you might have felt that one.
Jeez, I'm sure that's normal, but

130
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.039
five point one isn't that big.
This seems like a lot of aftershocks,

131
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.960
but maybe not. Yeah, it's
so when you got the quake alerk,

132
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.960
you said it, it happened almost
instantly that and then you felt a jolt.

133
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.799
Yeah, it was simultaneous. I
mean the shaking started and I would

134
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:39.759
say maybe two or three seconds later
than my phone went off. But some

135
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:46.440
colleagues who lived down in like Long
Beach and more towards the south, they

136
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.519
before they felt any shaking and they
got it pretty minor there, but that

137
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.320
they had gotten the alert before.
So it did work. And I don't

138
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.440
remember it ever going off and working
before, but it but it did work.

139
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:00.600
Well, it didn't work for me
because well, I mean it did.

140
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.200
I got the quake alert. I
didn't feel it, but you know

141
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.440
what I didn't do. I didn't
stop and take cover, well nor did

142
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.480
I. I mean I just stood
there and went oh, and I,

143
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.960
like I said, I went for
the cats to make sure that they were

144
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.759
okay. But if there had been
a big quake, I gotta pay better

145
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.480
attention to that. And because these
are kind of a new thing that we

146
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:26.840
get this little yeah. But also
and then you we got the flash flood

147
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.039
warnings, which I got another one
at like three o'clock this year this morning.

148
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.840
Yeah, so there that's an effect
until eight o'clock this morning for La

149
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:35.879
County, and I think nine o'clock
for a yeah, and then we should

150
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.840
be done at that point, I
think. But on the quake, yeah,

151
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.399
I mean, and our kids came
running downstairs, We're like, that's

152
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.960
probably not what you're supposed to do
either. I'm yelling screaming down the stairs.

153
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.200
I ran to the microphone. I
guess that's what the news person does,

154
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.279
or you don't take cover, you
run to the mic. And so

155
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.559
I don't think any of us did
what we're told to do. Yeah,

156
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.080
okay, So up in the desert, they were saying pretty much historic rainfall,

157
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.440
like they got a year's worth of
rain. Have we had any of

158
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.600
the big flooding mud slides. No, and you know, palm springs at

159
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.360
Eisenhower Medical Center they had some flooding. City Hall had a little bit of

160
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:15.840
flooding. But I gotta say for
what we experienced yesterday, and there were

161
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:20.879
some areas the reported eleven inches of
rain, which that's a lot of rain,

162
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.360
especially in the desert in the summertime, that we didn't have any major

163
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.000
power outages. I know there were
a few, but I think that that's

164
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.240
the lack of wind in that it
wasn't like a Santa Ana event. Yeah,

165
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.039
I didn't have any wind at my
house. No, And there was

166
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.039
a little bit overnight, but it
wasn't knocking out power. There wasn't major

167
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.000
flooding. There. There was you
know, some debris flow here and there.

168
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:48.159
And I know there's worry about today, but out in the desert and

169
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:50.960
you know, no major injuries that
we know of, no major damage.

170
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.159
This is pretty incredible. We had
her a quake or whatever we're gonna end

171
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:01.080
up calling it, and that there
weren't any major dis options of any kind,

172
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.240
and you know, people just kind
of rode it out. There have

173
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.879
been more minor storms that in the
end, there's major power outages and there's

174
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.080
mud slides all over and yeah,
people are evacuating out of their homes and

175
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.840
we didn't get a lot of that, and thank goodness. And there are

176
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.639
are areas and people are gonna say, yeah, but we had fill in

177
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.799
the blank. But but generally speaking, major stuff, no, at the

178
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.519
end of this, not a lot
of it. Yeah, well that that

179
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.200
makes me happy. So I'm glad
we were prepared. I'd rather be over

180
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.159
prepared than underprepared, so, you
know, hopefully, but it was nuts.

181
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.759
I think everybody's nerves are fried today. Yeah, good thing schools around

182
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.840
because everybody just needs to gotta chill, you know, watching Netflix, go

183
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.480
for a run in the in the
sunshine this afternoon and just say we did

184
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.919
it all right, Thanks so much, Alex. Don't appreciate it. You

185
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:50.039
got it. Thanks heavy. Here's
some of the stories. You're waking up

186
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.799
to a flash flood warning for La
Glendale Santa Clarita, Thousand Oaks, Semi

187
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.679
Valley, and Oxnard still in effect
until eight this morning. Leona Valley got

188
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.759
more than six inches of rain in
the storm. Burbank got about three and

189
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.960
a half inches. Orange County is
also under a flash flood warning until nine

190
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.240
am. Flash flood warnings have expired
for Apple Valley and the Inland Empire.

191
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.600
At least seventeen aftershocks have rumbled under
OHI following a five point one earthquake yesterday

192
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.600
afternoon at two forty five. Five
of those aftershocks happened hours later between nine

193
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.480
forty five and ten thirty, and
there's even been some this morning at five

194
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.840
thirty five. We're gonna be talking
to ABC's Karen Travers as the President First

195
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.320
Lady head to Hawaii to get a
firsthand look at Lahinah. But right now,

196
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:37.279
let's say good morning to Rory O'Neill
at the iHeart Hurricane Center. Good

197
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.159
morning, Rory, hey Amy,
good morning, Good morning. So you

198
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:48.159
know all about hurricanes, so let's
talk about this one now that it's a

199
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.480
post tropical cyclone. Did she did
she perform the way that they expected?

200
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.840
It seems like we kind of got
off easy on this. Yeah, well

201
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:01.559
you also lucked out on the track
of the storm. You know. A

202
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:07.879
few days ago when they were looking
at this the hurricane forecasters in South Florida

203
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.279
were concerned that this storm may have
had a bit more of a westerly track,

204
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.840
and if it did, San Diego
and La would have been hit much

205
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.279
harder. Instead, the center of
the storm passed to the east, and

206
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.559
that's good because the toughest part of
these storms is always on the eastern side.

207
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.879
So that's where a lot of the
moisture came down, and that's where

208
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.799
we saw some of the strongest wins. Didn't really get much significant storm surge

209
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.320
in La or San Diego. So
if the area has to be hit by

210
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.519
a tropical storm once every hundred years
or so, that was a pretty good

211
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.720
path for this storm to take.
Yeah, and we really with hurricanes.

212
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:50.200
You have an idea, But are
we better at forecasting him now or do

213
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.000
we just still not quite know and
they could kind of change track at any

214
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.279
time. Well, no, they
still do change track. And what the

215
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:05.600
forecasters are particularly bad at is forecasting
hurricane intensity. That is, whether or

216
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:09.960
not it's a tropical storm or if
it stays a category one hurricane or a

217
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:15.039
two, or balloons all the way
up to a category five like Hurricane Katrina.

218
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.639
So that's what they're pretty bad at. But they were pretty accurate with

219
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.320
this one. As the storm approached, you know that seventy two hour to

220
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.320
forty eight hour timeline, They had
it right on as passing just to the

221
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.639
east of the major metropolitan areas,
but still dumping a lot of rain.

222
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:37.279
And we're still seeing these reports in
places like Death Valley getting record amounts of

223
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:43.720
rainfall or ten months worth of rain
in a single day, and it's we're

224
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.799
still waiting to see what the effects
are when it comes to rock slides or

225
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.960
mud slides, because the effects of
this are not over yet, Okay.

226
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.360
And when you say that the Death
Valley could get a year's worth of rain

227
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.559
or almost a year's worth of rain
in a single day, is that still

228
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:02.000
only a couple of inches because they
usually don't get any it is, so

229
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:03.879
it's still only three or four inches. We saw that in Palm Springs as

230
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.240
well. I think they got about
three and a half inches of rain,

231
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.080
but they only get normally about four
and a half inches of rain. But

232
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.840
the roads just aren't designed for it. The drainage system just isn't ready for

233
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.320
that, and the ground just doesn't
handle rain as well. I'm in Florida.

234
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:23.639
We get three inches of rain every
other day in these seamy summer months.

235
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.679
But we are a swamp, so
there are plenty of places for that

236
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:33.519
water to go. That's not the
case in these desert communities where the ground

237
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.039
just doesn't absorb the water like it
does here. Okay, And a couple

238
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:41.440
of days ago, when its strengthened
to a Category four storm, I think

239
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.799
that's when everybody really went, oh
wow, this could really be bad.

240
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.320
Even the forecasters. It said,
when it hits the water as it heads

241
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.159
north, it hits the cooler water, that would weaken it, and it

242
00:16:53.200 --> 00:17:00.559
did, so did anything. You
go ahead? You had the little water

243
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.000
hitting it, and then you also
have the center of the storm passing over

244
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.039
the Baja Peninsula as well. That
really robs it of its power. These

245
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.200
things are fed by warm ocean waters. And if you've probably seen the map

246
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.839
today, the forecasters are talking about
what's happening in the Atlantic Ocean right now.

247
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.319
We've got three name storms, two
more on the verge of being named.

248
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:25.160
So suddenly someone flipped a switch,
and with all the hot temperatures,

249
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:30.839
the hotter than ever temperatures recorded in
the Atlantic Ocean, they're really gearing up

250
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.119
for a heck of a hurricane season. The next couple of weeks are going

251
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.559
to be interesting. When is this
typical hurricane season or are we late or

252
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:42.480
early this year? So the hurricane
season is six months long, but it

253
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:49.279
does tend to peak from mid August
through mid October, and really the peak

254
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:53.359
day I think is September tenth is
on average the day when we see the

255
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.839
most storm activity. So we really
are now getting into the heart of the

256
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.680
hurricane season. And to have so
many suddenly churn up after what had been

257
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.319
a relatively quiet season, we're also
buckled up here saying, oh, here

258
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.039
we go. But at the same
time, you know, Hillary is bringing

259
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:15.039
flash flood watches into Idaho, which
just is remarkable that somebody made Mother Nature

260
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:19.039
very angry this week. Okay,
so, now, not having been through

261
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:23.079
a hurricane or a tropical storm,
since we're in southern California and we haven't

262
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.720
seen them for years and years,
I thought it was really interesting that yesterday

263
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.839
when the rain was falling, you
felt those bands because it would rain and

264
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.759
then it would stop, and then
it would rain and then it would stop.

265
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.000
And is that pretty typical of a
hurricane or is it more NonStop?

266
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.759
No, very much. That's how
these go. These bands are rain and

267
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.640
it's sort of heads and flows and
you sort of oh, that was a

268
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:47.920
bad one, and you go,
okay, Oh that one wasn't so bad.

269
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:48.920
Was that the worst of it?
Oh nope, nope, this one

270
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.119
is. So it does sort of
keep you on edge. You know,

271
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.720
you were lucky in that this hit
on a Sunday, so so many people

272
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.319
got to be home from work and
just spend time with the families. And

273
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.839
that it was so fast moving.
You know, typically these hurricanes move around

274
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:08.680
twelve fourteen miles an hour. This
woman's going twice as fast. So it

275
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:15.359
helped to speed it along into the
interior portions and that would help reduce the

276
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.839
total amount of rainfall. That's something
else that the Hurricane Center had to adjust

277
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.400
along the way, just how fast
the storm was moving. But that really

278
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.039
wasn't blessing. All right, Well, next time we have a hurricane,

279
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:27.759
Rory, I hope we get to
talk to you again. Well I'll have

280
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:30.359
to wait eighty four more years.
We'll talk to you then, Okay,

281
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:34.440
thank you so much. Rory O'Neil. He is at our hurricane desk,

282
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:40.160
our national correspondent for iHeartRadio. Right
now, let's say good morning to ABC's

283
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:45.119
Karen Travers as SoCal deals with heavy
rain and flooding from Hillary. President Biden

284
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.480
and the First Lady are headed to
Hawaii to tour damage from another disaster.

285
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.559
Good morning, Karen, Yeah,
they are, Good morning. They're gonna

286
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.920
be traveling to Maui today to meet
with emergency responders, survivors, community members,

287
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.319
and state and local officials. There's
a the federal officials that are on

288
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.160
the ground to help with the recovery
efforts. They're first going to receive an

289
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.960
aerial tour before they even touch down
on the ground to take a look from

290
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.680
above at the impacted areas, then
the land in Lahinah into a part of

291
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:18.000
that historic town to see the wildfire
damage first hand. The President tonight will

292
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:22.680
deliver remarks and announce that a top
FEMA official, Bob Sentin, will serve

293
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:27.000
as the chief Federal Response Coordinator to
oversee what the White House says will be

294
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:32.839
a long term, coordinated federal recovery
effort. Officials say that he is one

295
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:37.759
of the nation's most experienced disaster response
and recovery officials, and that Sentin has

296
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.000
been on the ground in Hawaii since
the wildfire started, so he knows the

297
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.839
area, he knows this current disaster
very well, and he is somebody that

298
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.119
will lead them through the short,
medium, and long term recovery because it's

299
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.440
going to be a big one.
They have a lot of needs there right

300
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.119
now and it's going to be a
big building efforts and housing is of course

301
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.200
a very big concern going forward.
Well, they basically have to start where

302
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.319
that whole town is gone. Yeah, and you know they're talking now about

303
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:11.319
where things stand in terms of moving
people into something sort of more permanent.

304
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:14.599
The number of survivors, according to
the White House, that are in shelters

305
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.200
was reduced by fifty percent late last
week, and the Red Cross, they

306
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.039
say, expects to move all survivors
who are in shelters into hotel rooms by

307
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.039
next week. So giving something a
little bit more permanent, swimming and maybe

308
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.519
feels a little bit better. But
you're right, I mean, the decimation

309
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.519
is just staggering, and those building
it's going to take some time to give

310
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:37.079
people back what they lost. But
that's something that the President will likely hear

311
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.799
from people today when he sits down
later this evening. Their last event is

312
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.359
what the White House calls a community
engagement, where they'll meet with people who

313
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.480
have gone through so much and hear
their stories. I mean, this is

314
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.039
where presidents do that consoler and chief
comforter and chief role, giving out hugs

315
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.599
and also just listening, hearing firsthand
what they've been through and what they need.

316
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:02.039
So on the ground, he's going
to go and see Lahinah or what

317
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.279
is left of it, but then
actually he will be sitting and talking to

318
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.079
some of the residents. He will
be that's the last thing that they'll do,

319
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.119
and we're expected to see some of
that, but I think a lot

320
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.839
will take place behind closed doors where
the president can just sit and hear from

321
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.160
people. A week so I ca'll
meet with some of the families who rock

322
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.160
loved ones, but also a lot
of this is really focused to on what

323
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.839
the emergency needs are right now and
what the rebuilding efforts will be like going

324
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.279
forward. Okay, Karen Travis,
thank you so much for checking in.

325
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.519
Good to know that the President is
there and going to be assessing stuff and

326
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.920
that a lot of money is coming
in to help the people in Hawaii have

327
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:45.480
a great day. So, as
we were talking about, Lahinah was devastated

328
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.680
destroy it. You've seen the pictures. Have you seen the picture of the

329
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:53.160
Miracle Home in Lahinah. I was
talking to a friend yesterday who sent me

330
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:59.599
a picture of it. There is
one house in this whole neighborhood that is

331
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.240
still standing, and you can see
it. It looks like it might have

332
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:07.599
been photo shopped in, but it's
not. It's actually a house on front

333
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.880
Street, which is right up against
the water. But then you see all

334
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:15.799
these just piles of rubble. Every
other house is gone in the whole neighborhood,

335
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:21.759
and they're trying to figure out why
this one was spared. It's interesting

336
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:25.240
because there were some fires in Colorado
a few years ago and my friend David,

337
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.599
his neighborhood was affected and like every
house in his neighborhood was burned to

338
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:36.160
the ground except his. So it's
another one of these just really odd situations,

339
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:38.440
and they're trying to figure out why
this one house was spared. I

340
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:44.599
mean, it looks almost unscathed,
and one of the reasons would be that

341
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:49.440
possibly when they remodeled the house.
They put a red roof on it,

342
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:55.920
and it's a metal roof so it
couldn't burn. And then officials also said

343
00:23:55.960 --> 00:24:00.039
the other thing that may have saved
it was that they cut all the brush

344
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:04.519
away from the house, so they
have like a it's called a zone zero

345
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:10.759
or an ember ignition zone. They
dug out the existing landscaping around the house

346
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.880
and replaced it with river stones.
Well, they did it because they said

347
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:17.519
they wanted the drainage and that kind
of stuff, so they did it for

348
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:21.559
a very practical reason. But the
effect of it is that it may have

349
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:26.200
just saved their home, but every
other house just absolutely devastated. But I

350
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.079
think if you google the Miracle House
in Lahino you'll see it. It's pretty

351
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:36.240
amazing. Several firefighters narrowly escaped a
mud slide in San Bernardino County. Mud

352
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:40.599
boulders and trees came rushing towards a
group of firefighters from behind fire Station ninety

353
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:45.759
nine in Forest Falls yesterday. The
firefighters saw the mud slide racing toward them

354
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.359
after they went out to investigate a
loud noise. Forest Falls is in the

355
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:55.680
Eldorado Fire burn scar and is under
a shelter in place order until the storm

356
00:24:55.720 --> 00:25:00.440
passes. News brought to you by
American Vision Windows Showers going to continue into

357
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:06.000
today before the precipitation begins to taper
off. LA Fire Chief Kristin Crowley said

358
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:10.759
as if yesterday afternoon, there hadn't
been any reports of injuries or major damage

359
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:15.079
from the storm, but there were
more than a dozen reports of flooding across

360
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.920
the city and about five thousand DWP
customers lost electricity. Boil Heights and Hollywood

361
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.400
were among the hardest hit areas.
Some power lines are down. A pair

362
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:27.440
of debris flows were reported in the
Sherman Oaks area. Residents of an apartment

363
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:33.039
building in Koreatown reported a partial roof
collapse. Several schools have joined the La

364
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:37.599
School District inclosing schools for the day
because of what was Tropical Storm Hillary.

365
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:44.519
Superintendent Alberto Carvallo says because the storm
hit hardest to overnight, the district needed

366
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:47.519
time to make sure that it would
be safe for students to return as early

367
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:51.759
as five thirty six am. We
have students usually walking to school would out

368
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.640
the ability to inspect schools or the
access to schools. We cannot determine if

369
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.200
there are power lines down or three
limbs down. The Anaheim, Englewood and

370
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.400
Paramount school districts have also announce school
closures. All schools are expected to reopen

371
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:10.279
tomorrow. Palm Springs has issued a
local emergency declaration because of inundated roadways.

372
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:14.160
The City of India did the same, saying the storm threatened local infrastructure and

373
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:18.640
public health and safety. Palm Desert
also reported a series of road closures because

374
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:21.880
of flooding, which caused a stretch
of the ten to be closed in both

375
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:26.240
directions. Yesterday. Governor Newsom issued
a state of emergency over the weekend for

376
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:32.799
much of southern California to support storm
response and recovery efforts. First it was

377
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:36.640
the West coast, now it's the
East coast. Turn. One of several

378
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:41.920
storm systems in the Atlantic Ocean has
become tropical storm Emily. The National Hurricane

379
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.039
Center said yesterday it was far from
land, moving west in the open Ocean.

380
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:51.119
Tropical Storm Franklin has formed in the
Eastern Caribbean, and tropical storm watches

381
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:56.000
have been issued for the southern coasts
of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The

382
00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.440
first of three memorial services is being
held for men of the three men killed

383
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.200
in a midair helicopter collision during a
brushfire in Cabazon. The service for Cowfire

384
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:10.359
Captain Tim Rodriguez will be this morning
at the Ontario Convention Center. A memorial

385
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:14.559
for fire Assistant Chief Josh Bischoff will
be Thursday at the Toyota Arena, also

386
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.200
on Ontario. Funeral services for contract
pilot Tony Susa will be held Friday.

387
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:23.839
In northern California, Orange County Sheriff's
deputies have shot a man suspected of stabbing

388
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:29.440
two people at an apartment complex in
Lake Forest. Officials stay they found two

389
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:33.160
women with multiple stab wounds yesterday.
One of them died. Police confronted a

390
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.799
man outside the complex where he was
shot. He and one of the people

391
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.839
stabbed were taken to the hospital.
Officials say they believe the man is related

392
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.799
to the two women. Firefighters are
working to put out a fire in that's

393
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.359
burning several semi trucks and at least
four of their vehicles in Wilmington. Lay

394
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:56.519
Fire says the fire is burning in
a dismantling yard on North Sanford Avenue.

395
00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.440
Former President Trump is confirmed he will
not be attending the first Republican presidential primary

396
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:06.559
debate in Milwaukee. ABC Selena Wang
says that doesn't necessarily mean Trump won't be

397
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:11.279
heard from Wednesday evening courses, telling
ABC News that former President Donald Trump has

398
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.240
already prerecorded a sit down interview with
Tucker carls It. Wang says the interview

399
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:19.119
is intended to be counter programming to
the debate. So far, eight candidates

400
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:25.119
have met the rnc's polling and donor
threshold to participate in the debate, and

401
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:29.599
an all star baseball team from El
Segundo is four wins away from winning the

402
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:33.000
Little League World Series in Williamsport,
Pennsylvania. They're playing a team from Texas

403
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:38.640
this afternoon. The game will be
televised on ESPN two go El Segundo.

404
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:44.000
Flash flood warnings have expired for Apple
Valley and the Inland Empire. At least

405
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:48.839
seventeen aftershocks have rumbled under OHI following
a five point one earthquake yesterday afternoon at

406
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:53.279
two forty five that was felt in
several areas around the Southland. I personally

407
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:59.039
didn't feel it. Five of them
happened hours later, between ninety five and

408
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:02.359
ten thirty last night, and then
there have been a few more early this

409
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:08.039
morning, let's say good morning to
ABC's Stephen Portnoy, because Hillary isn't the

410
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:12.119
only thing going on in the world
today. There could be more tough news

411
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:17.359
for former President Trump because of his
chief of staff. Good morning, Stephen.

412
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:18.799
Hey, good morning to you Amy. And we are watching the developments

413
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.440
with Hillary here in Washington, DC. So best to everyone in the south

414
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:26.160
Land. As we monitored the rain, hope everybody made it through. And

415
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.839
with the earthquake too, I know
we had a herriqua. Yeah. Well,

416
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:34.200
in the other news here in Washington, d C. We are monitoring

417
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:40.319
developments with prospective Mark Meadows. Because
this has to do with what he is

418
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:45.000
said to have told Special Council investigators. We broke the news yesterday morning that

419
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:51.160
Mark Meadows has told the Special Council's
team that he has no memory, no

420
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:59.160
memory of Donald Trump issuing any kind
of declassification order for the documents that Donald

421
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.160
Trump took with him from the White
House tomorrow lago. This doesn't have to

422
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:06.359
do with January sixth as much as
it has to do with the classified documents

423
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:10.400
case that Trump faces in South Florida
in the federal court. The case brought

424
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:15.240
by the Special Council. Remember,
Donald Trump has accused of obstructing justice in

425
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.559
his retention of classified materials and the
efforts that he allegedly undertook with his body

426
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:26.319
man, with his maintenance man to
prevent the government from recapturing those public papers

427
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:30.720
and having them properly stored in government
facilities at the National Archives. Trump is

428
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:34.680
accused of hiding those documents, even
from his own attorneys, so that the

429
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:41.160
attorney would attest in writing that all
the classified papers were turned over. Mark

430
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.400
Meadows says that he has no memory
to back up Trump's public defense. Trump's

431
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.839
lawyers have not been in court arguing
this in their filings, but Trump himself

432
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:55.200
has been on television, He has
been on a social media platform talking about

433
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:59.720
this idea that he had the power
to declassified material and he used it.

434
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.599
Well. If his senior aide in
the White House at this time has no

435
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:07.920
memory of Trump issuing such an order, it really does make you wonder whether

436
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:14.440
such an order ever existed. So
would an order like that have to go

437
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:22.839
through Mark Meadows. All power in
the Constitution in Article two is vested in

438
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:25.480
the President of the United States.
When it comes to the presidency, it's

439
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:30.960
all in his person, and all
the power that is derived from the president

440
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.680
when it comes to the handling of
classified material goes up to the president and

441
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:41.359
flows down from him. In theory, and I say in theory because it's

442
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:44.400
a theory, because it's never been
tested before. Ray, well, it's

443
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:45.599
never been tested before. And ultimately
the end of the day, to the

444
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:51.319
extent that it is, all of
the cases and there have been so many

445
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:56.000
cases where people have been brought before
judges and juries and thrown in prison for

446
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.640
violating these laws. In theory,
all the power in this area vests in

447
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:07.920
the president himself. But when papers
are declassified, when the government says that

448
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.720
this is a secret that is fit
for public consumption, there is a process,

449
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:17.039
and that process traditionally involves bringing in
the agencies that created the secret document,

450
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:22.319
talking with the leaders, making sure
that they are on board with public

451
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.400
release of this information. They call
this the equities of the various agencies.

452
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.359
They listen. They don't have the
final say. The president always has the

453
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:35.839
final say, but when it's been
used by Donald Trump and other presidents,

454
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:40.440
it's always gone through this process.
Now, the theory holds at the president

455
00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:45.119
the United States himself has the ultimate
authority and the President of the United States.

456
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:49.960
The former president claims he used it, but when he's senior most aid

457
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:52.880
says he has no memory of Trump
actually using it. Well, that's a

458
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:58.400
compelling argument that the prosecutor is going
to make that the former president never used

459
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:02.319
it. And in addition to Mark
Meadows not having any memory, you also

460
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:07.200
have that audio tape. That audio
tape that's been obtained by ABC News and

461
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.359
other news organizations in which someone who's
writing a book for Mark Meadows is sitting

462
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:16.079
with Donald Trump at Bedminster, New
Jersey in twenty twenty one. They're discussing

463
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:21.599
this paper that Trump presents that is
trying to He's trying to make an argument

464
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:25.680
that Mark Millie, the chief of
the Joint Chiefs Chairman, had this idea

465
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:30.640
of attacking Iran. And here's the
paper. See it's marked secret. I'm

466
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:34.559
paraphrasing the former president is he and
I shouldn't have it and you shouldn't see

467
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.279
it because it's secret. I had
the power to declassify it, but I

468
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:42.480
didn't, and now I don't have
that power anymore. When you match that

469
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:45.000
audio tape from twenty twenty one with
Mark Meadows saying he has no memory of

470
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:52.000
Trump power to declassify in his final
days of the presidency, and it just

471
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:57.960
you put those two things together,
it contradicts Trump's public statements since that he

472
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.279
did have the power and he used
it. Ultimately, a jury is going

473
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.559
to be asked to weigh this question, and they'll be asked, who do

474
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:07.160
you believe. Do you believe Donald
Trump on tape and his former aide,

475
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.320
or do you believe Donald Trump what
he says when he's not under oath outside

476
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:15.800
of court. Okay, then one
other question for you, is it possible

477
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:22.639
that they could argue, well,
donald Trump declassified those things, he just

478
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:24.400
didn't tell anybody about it. He
was the president. He could do it

479
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:29.800
at anytime. They could argue that, but they have not argued that.

480
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:32.239
Donald Trump has been saying it at
interviews, He's been saying it on social

481
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:37.880
media. But his attorneys when they
have been representing their case so far and

482
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:40.199
the hearings that have taken place in
South Florida, they've not argued that.

483
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:45.760
And it's probably because, if you
had to guess, they have no evidence

484
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:51.360
to back it up. Okay,
it just keeps getting curious there and curious

485
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.199
there, doesn't it stay tuned.
Remember, by the end of the week,

486
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:59.199
Donald Trump has to turn himself in
in Fulton County, Georgia, Y

487
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:02.039
January sixth, Yes, in that
January sixth case. Just you know,

488
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.960
sometimes I'm paid to keep track of
this stuff. Sometimes it's time. The

489
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:10.000
former presidents expected to turn himself into
the Fulton County jail for booking. The

490
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:14.920
arraignment will happen, we expect after
Labor Day, so and everybody. There's

491
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:17.599
nineteen people total, including the former
president, that have to do that.

492
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:22.800
Has anybody gone down to Fulton County
yet, not that I'm aware of.

493
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.960
I don't know if it's going to
be coordinated. The Fulton County Authorities put

494
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:30.920
out a statement last week that reminded
all nineteen codefendants that the jail is open

495
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:34.840
twenty four to seven whenever they're ready. Okay, maybe see Stephen Portnoy.

496
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.280
Thank you so much, appreciate it. You bet. I'm sure we're going

497
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.320
to be talking to Stephen again very
very soon. Hey, if you had

498
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:45.599
a flight affected by Hillary, some
nice news for you. The airlines are

499
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:50.320
issuing waivers. So more than a
thousand flights have been canceled, and that

500
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:54.639
was just yesterday. More than forty
five hundred were delayed as of nine o'clock

501
00:35:54.760 --> 00:36:00.159
or actually six o'clock hour time last
night. So make sure you call your

502
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:06.079
airlines if you were affected, because
what they're basically letting you do is change

503
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.880
your flights, and they're not charging
you those fees. I know the fees

504
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:13.760
went away during the pandemic, but
they're back so and looking through this list,

505
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:17.119
it looks like everybody's doing it.
America and Alaska, Delta, Hawaiian,

506
00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:22.559
Frontier, Jet Blue, Spirit Southwest, and I guess YEP, United's

507
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:27.000
on that list too. So if
you were affected, make sure you reach

508
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.559
out to your airlines and make sure
that they don't charge you. We are

509
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:35.199
going to be We're going to be
with Handle on the news in just a

510
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:37.920
moment, and I'm sure we're going
to get lots more about what was hurricane

511
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:44.679
and then tropical storm and now post
tropical cyclone. Hillary, we lead local
