Doesn't taste like spaghetti. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. 23 00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:00.280 Twelve more hostages have been released by Hamas as part of an extent did 24 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.560 ceasefire deal with Israel. This is the last day of the six day ceasefire. 25 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.520 About one hundred and seventy people are still being held hostage by HAMAS. 26 00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:13.680 A homeless woman's been arrested after a philanthropist was shot and killed inside his home 27 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.520 on the Miracle Mile. Police see the woman broke into Lead with Love CEO 28 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.759 Michael Latt's home on Monday night. The woman was arrested at the home and 29 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.080 is being held on three million dollars bail. Cyber Monday numbers are in and 30 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.319 they're big. Sales are up ten percent over last year. According to Adobe 31 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:36.120 Analytics, twelve point four billion dollars was spent online. Analysts say prices are 32 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.879 up because of inflation, so people may not have actually bought more stuff. 33 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.000 They also say more people are using credit cards and buy now, pay later 34 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.360 plans, so they're going to hit with those charges next month. At six 35 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.719 o five, it's handle on the news. Talks are on to extend the 36 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.479 ceasefire that ends today between Israel and Hamas. Bill will give you the latest 37 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.120 on that. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the 38 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.439 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Police say a man fatally shot while eating at 39 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.280 a restaurant at La Live was killed by somebody who knew him. Realise say 40 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:14.560 the shooter walked into Fixon's Soul Kitchen last night and shot the man. A 41 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.840 woman with him was grazed by a bullet. Policer trying to find the shooter. 42 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.400 Police in Burbanks say they're looking for a homeless man who's been committing hate 43 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.560 crimes. Officials say the man painted anti Semitic graffiti like swastik is an iron 44 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.319 cross in the ss Nazi symbol in places like a Jewish temple on Glen Oaks, 45 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.879 an underground parking garage on Cyprus Avenue, and a nearby city utility box. 46 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.080 A bulletin sent out by police identifies the man as thirty two year old 47 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.159 Clinton Dion, a white man with a faint tattoo above his left eye. 48 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.840 Police didn't say whether Dion is armed or considered dangerous, but he's known to 49 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:51.199 frequent burbank La Elsa Gundo, Pasadena, and Glendale. Steve Gregory KAFI News. 50 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.280 You can see a photo of the guy on our website KFI AM six 51 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:59.680 forty dot com slash suspect. At least one person a border US military aircraft 52 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.000 has been killed in a crash off the coast of southwestern Japan. Eyewitness reports 53 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.800 indicate that the aircraft's left engine was on fire as it descended. ABC's Anthony 54 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.960 Trotter says the Coastguard has been searching for the other five people aboard the osprey. 55 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.040 Debris believed to be from the aircraft has been found off the eastern coast 56 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:21.199 of Yakoshima. An empty inflatable life raft was also found in the area. 57 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.519 Hamas and Israel have released more hostages and prisoners under terms of a ceasefire that 58 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.560 held for a fifth day. Yesterday's swap was the latest since the ceasefire began 59 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:36.040 on Friday. No American hostages were released during that exchange. We don't have 60 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:41.240 perfect visibility on where they are. We know Hamas can get to all the 61 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.160 hostages if it wants to, and it has the ability to do that. 62 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.560 Now, we'll keep pressing to get these Americans out as much as we can. 63 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.399 The National Security Council's John Kirby says the ceasefire is the best way to 64 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.319 see all of the hostages freed. Israel says ten of its citizens and two 65 00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:00.959 people from Thailand were freed by Hamash yesterday. Israel released thirty palace in prisoners 66 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:05.439 in exchange. Now, let's say good morning to ABC's White House correspondent Karen 67 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:12.000 Travers. Karen, a little problem with the National Christmas Tree yesterday. Yeah, 68 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.279 this was really something like straight out of Clark Griswold's National Enterance Bersas Vacation. 69 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.600 Okay, so this is not a small Christmas tree. You know, 70 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:25.000 you maybe sell the pictures and videos of the First Lady welcoming in Christmas tree 71 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.319 to the White House right before Thanksgiving. That's the Christmas tree that goes inside 72 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.639 the White House, a lovely tree that goes in the Blue Room. This 73 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.519 one, however, goes out on the ellipse behind the White House, south 74 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.319 of the White House, kind of like way far south of the south lawn. 75 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.480 It is forty feet tall, so it is massive. And we had 76 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.240 some really strong winds yesterday in DC and the White House was you could feel 77 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.439 it in the windows and it was about forty some miles an hour yesterday. 78 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.319 And where that is, it's kind of just like open grass, open space 79 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.480 down there. And at some point the tree, which already had lights and 80 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.360 things on it, just toppled over. They had to bring in a crane 81 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.040 to always the thing back up. It took a couple of hours, but 82 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.040 the Park Service said the show must go on. They are planning for everything 83 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.920 to be full steam ahead tomorrow night, Thursday for the official annual tree lighting 84 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.920 ceremony, that's the one that the President First Lady attends. Dion Warwick is 85 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.199 going to be singing there. It's a really lovely event. It's a big, 86 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.839 big deal in Washington. But I think they're a little nervous today about 87 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.519 how the tree is going to hold up because it might be still a little 88 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.199 bit windy. But so it's quite a project yesterday to get the tree back 89 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.879 up and standing. And they're actually planted. It's kind of crazy. They're 90 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:41.319 what I was going to ask you about. Yeah, so when it comes 91 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.680 to sixteen seventies, they're not just displayed in tree stand I think because maybe 92 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.120 can't because they're so huge. They're planted on the ellipse. And this was 93 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:54.040 a new one. So the previous tree have been planted two years ago, 94 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.000 but it was just cut down like two weeks ago because there was an infection 95 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.199 in the tree. So they had to get rid of that one bring this 96 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.600 one in. So it's only been there for about two and a half weeks, 97 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.600 and maybe that just wasn't long enough for it to take and the poor 98 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.800 thing fell down. You know. We had some Santa Ana wind events not 99 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.000 too long ago, and same thing where they had recently planted some trees out 100 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.879 in front of our building and I came into work and they were all blown 101 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.720 down. They were planted, but they were blown down, So now I 102 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.199 mean yeah, you know, anybody that's put one up in their house and 103 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.759 seen it wobble, can just imagine the Park Service stretch yesterday if that's that 104 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.800 big sucker coming down. Oh yeah, and the panic because they're doing the 105 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:39.319 Christmas tree lighting ceremony. So it's back up. Yes, I'm guessing that 106 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.439 it's got cables folding it and all of that stuff. Now, yeah, 107 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.560 we are assured that they are feeling good about it being secured. We're going 108 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.319 to get some further updates today according to the Park Service, but they are 109 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:55.759 hopeful that the tree lighting ceremony tomorrow night down there at the Ellipse will go 110 00:07:55.839 --> 00:08:00.360 forward. And it's a lovely event. The President always attends, no matter 111 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.600 the administration makes a little quick motorcade down from the White House. Traffic is 112 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.519 a nightmare in Washington for that hour that the President is down there. But 113 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:13.399 it's a great event. Okay, So the First Lady also unveiled Christmas decorations 114 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.839 at the White House. Yes, yes, they're very lovely this year. 115 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.560 There's a whole theme is like Christmas in the Holidays through a child's eyes, 116 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.199 So it's all very playful, very elaborate, lots of you know, candy 117 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.519 kind of themes that of course the famous gingerbread house that's in the State dining 118 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.679 Room. There are different themes for the pets of the first family. They're 119 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.480 cats, there's dogs. They have displays for them, and it's just a 120 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:45.240 very delightful decorations that she unveiled on Monday. And so they'll do open houses 121 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.720 for guests if you get tickets over the next couple of weeks. In addition 122 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:54.320 to the private parties that they host for members of Congress, ambassadors, donors, 123 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.720 you know, military, there's two different press parties. They're basically hosting 124 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.679 a party every night starting this week. Well why wouldn't you? Oh my 125 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:05.240 goodness, you got a lovely house like that, you want to show it 126 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.440 off? Have you seen? It's exhausting too, though I have not yet. 127 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.519 I will get to see them on Friday. Okay, we might have 128 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.440 to check in and see if you get any scoop on it. Hey, 129 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.480 here's a gingerbread house, Yes, a regular gingerbread house. Or is it 130 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.360 the White House's gingerbread It's the White House's Gingerbread. Yeah, and it's real. 131 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.200 It's really pretty too. Okay, Well, glad they got the tree 132 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.399 back up. Thank you so much for the update. We'll talk to you 133 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.279 day all right, you too.

Republican Congressman Kevin Kylie says he wants a debate to focus on the 137 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.879 realities of California. Approximately five. That is not it. Let's try this 138 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.360 one more time. Here's Congressman Kevin Cutie. When it comes to homelessness, 139 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.720 when it comes to crime, when it comes to education, when it comes 140 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.960 to the cost of living, Kylie sis Governor Newsom is going to have a 141 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.039 tough time defending his record in the state. We have the second highest unemployment 142 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.559 in the country. We were dead last in the country last year in terms 143 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.240 of wage growth.

Noah says there's a ninety five percent chance El Nino conditions 148 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.759 will continue through the winter. UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain tells KTLA they can't 149 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:46.200 rule out any possible outcomes. What Almino really is doing is tilting the odds. 150 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.919 Malibu says people should look out for sloped areas with signs of erosion, 151 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.279 cracks and slumping.

Orange County DA spokeswoman 154 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.240 Kimberly Ed says the girl was also unable to call for help because she couldn't 155 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.600 speak. Mother left her little girl's body in the bathtub for several days, 156 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:20.919 rotting, while she claims that she attempted suicide several times over the Thanksgiving holiday. 157 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.320 It says the girl's father called for a welfare check when he received concerning 158 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:30.840 text messages from his ex wife.

Lame it on inflation, higher gas prices, transportation 171 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.720 costs, and trees lost to wildfires. Subin tay Foot Doug for their one 172 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.720 hundred dollars, we actually grow our own pine trees as Christmas trees. You 173 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.000 could get a nice d eight foot tree for just sety bucks. Tyler Stokes 174 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.759 with the Family Christmas Tree Farm and Alcohol says most trees are shipped in from 175 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:45.279 Family farms in Oregon and Washington. The most popular day to buy a Christmas 176 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:50.919 tree is the first Saturday in December. Yeah, that's this Saturday. I 177 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.200 think I'll be one of those people getting a tree on Saturday. At least 178 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.919 one service member has been killed in the crash of a US Osprey aircraft. 179 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.960 It crashed into the sea off the coast of western Japan. The Coast Guard 180 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.840 says six people were on board. There are reports that three people have been 181 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.039 found in the water by fishermen, but not clear if they're alive. The 182 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:20.000 NYPD is preparing for potential protests during the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony tonight. 183 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.240 Pro Palestinian organizers have posted on social media for their supporters to flood the 184 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.480 ceremony in support of Gaza. You're gonna pay more for your Christmas tree this 185 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.919 year. The American Christmas Tree Association says prices are up ten percent. You 186 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:37.639 can blame it on inflation, higher gas prices, transportation costs and trees lost 187 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.759 to wildfires. At six oh five, its handle on the news, Nikki 188 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.720 Haley just picked up a very rich endorsement. Bill's gonna tell you who it 189 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.279 is and what it means. Right now, let's say good morning to the 190 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:54.679 host of Rich on Tech right here on KFI and KTLA tech reporter Rich DeMuro. 191 00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:00.759 Good morning, Rich, Happy after Thanksgiving week US. Good morning to 192 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:05.159 you, Amy. Okay, so we got a new iPhone and there are 193 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.240 some issues with something new on that iPhone. Well, this is a really 194 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:16.440 interesting occurrence. So basically, over the weekend, law enforcement agencies around the 195 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.399 US started posting to their social media about a new feature on the iPhone called 196 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.919 name Drop, and they said, this is really scary because basically, if 197 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.879 you walk past someone else's iPhone, you could exchange your contact information with them, 198 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.200 or a stranger could steal your information. And I was kind of scratching 199 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.159 my head because a lot of people started emailing me these warnings and I said, 200 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.039 wait, really, I don't think that's true. And so after a 201 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.080 bunch of testing and after talking to some security experts, it turns out the 202 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.759 warnings were kind of not real. So this does not work in that way. 203 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.240 The feature is called name drop. It's meant to let you tap two 204 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.759 iPhones together to exchange your contact information. Your phone has to be unlocked. 205 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.879 Nothing gets exchanged unless you say share, and a stranger can't just walk by 206 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.200 you and grab your information. Oh okay, so that's I remember we talked 207 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.000 about this a couple of months ago, because it's sort of like what the 208 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.480 BlackBerry used to do, like twenty years ago. Yes, we were talking 209 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.120 about, you know, tapping two phones together, and you know, Apple 210 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.279 just made it easier. You've always been able to air drop from one iPhone 211 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.320 to another. Now they just made it so that you can tap those two 212 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.360 phones together to sort of pair them. But if you're still concerned about this, 213 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:28.759 if you want to read all of the information, I put it on 214 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:33.159 my website, rich on tech dot tv. I explain the feature exactly how 215 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.600 it works, and you can decide if you want to turn it off. 216 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.200 You can turn this off. Just keep in mind if you do that, 217 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.440 you'll still be able to air drop, you just won't be able to tap 218 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:45.799 two iPhones together to air drop. Okay, so you don't need This is 219 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:50.919 something that isn't as bad as what was initially thought. So that's good, 220 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.639 right, Yeah, a little bit of a little bit of fear mongering going 221 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:56.399 on, but which I don't really I think. I think the police stations 222 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.519 were looking for like an easy win on social media because it's you know, 223 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.440 it's interesting. You're like, wait, what, I got some good information 224 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.960 and then it turns out it's just really not true. Okay, well that's 225 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.679 good, all right. So speaking, since we're still talking about Apple, 226 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:17.240 what are they doing. They're ending their partnership with Goldman Sacks. Yeah, 227 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.919 so a lot of people have this Apple Card. It's it's basically a credit 228 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:25.679 card that you sign up for and manage through your iPhone. And what people 229 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.559 like about it is it gives you two percent or three percent cash back or 230 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.840 one percent depending on you know what, your how You're buying things right on 231 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.639 your phone, and it does it immediately. So they call it like daily 232 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:40.279 cash, and so people like this and that daily cash can earn interest if 233 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:42.919 you put it into a savings account. Long story short, Apple partnered with 234 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.919 Goldman Sachs on this program, which they had not really done a large credit 235 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.840 card program like this before either company. And it turns out from all the 236 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.600 reports that it just was not a winner for either of them. People. 237 00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:00.240 I guess they don't charge any fees on this card. People default, it's 238 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.679 charge interest. I mean, it's a whole big thing. And so long 239 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.440 story short on that, Goldman Sachs is our one of them is canceling this. 240 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:12.400 And so now the question remains for all these Apple iPhone users that have 241 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.400 this card, what's going to happen? Is the card going to go away? 242 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.720 Or is another company going to swoop in, buy up the debt and 243 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.160 continue to manage this. We don't know if that's the case, but I 244 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.440 would say, Amy, since money is at stake here, someone's going to 245 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.200 come in and buy up these accounts. Okay, do we have any idea 246 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.880 like when that's going to happen. Can we still use the Apple card or 247 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.680 you can still use the card. This is twelve to fifteen months that we're 248 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.279 looking at, so it's not something that's going to happen overnight over the holidays. 249 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.519 But my advice just use your debit card. Don't even worry about this. 250 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.480 You know, you know who cares. Just get rid of the cash 251 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.839 back. It's not that much anyway. There you go, Okay, and 252 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:57.240 then Ikea is swooping in and making smart homes cheaper. I just wanted to 253 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:02.640 say the three names of ikea new smart home devices. Okay, you can 254 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:07.440 never pronounce the stuff at Aikia, I can't. But they have three new 255 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.039 smart sensors. One is called the valhorn. You've got the parasol and the 256 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.640 bad Ring. Maybe it's a drain, I don't know, but these are 257 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.000 sensors that can help you control your smart home things. One is for doors 258 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:23.240 and windows, notifies you if they're open or closed. One is a motion 259 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.880 sensor that can activate lights and of course lets you customize your smart lights. 260 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.279 And then the bad ring is actually pretty cool. It's actually pretty good. 261 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.079 It detects water leaks and if you've ever had one in your house amy like 262 00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:40.839 I did, I'm talking tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage when you 263 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:44.160 don't know if you have a water leak. So if you don't have some 264 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.160 sort of sensor in your home that alerts you by your washing machine or buy 265 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.279 your water heater, please invest. These are ten dollars. There's many many 266 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.920 others out there that are similar priced or maybe a little bit more expensive. 267 00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:00.079 Twenty thirty dollars. It can save you tens of thousands of dollars by alerting 268 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.119 you when that water hits the floor before it becomes a giant flood. I 269 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.400 didn't realize they were so inexpensive. I thought all this stuff was super spendy. 270 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.279 Well, this is part of the appeal of these Ikea ones. They 271 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.200 are extremely cheap, so we don't have the exact pricing yet here in the 272 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.519 US. Over in Europe they're about ten dollars each, so we have no 273 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.880 reason to believe they would be much more expensive over here. But under twenty 274 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.359 dollars for these things, it's just you know, people are going to be 275 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:26.200 in Ikea see them and say, oh, that's kind of cool. I 276 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.799 can get an alert on my iPhone when you know, when a door is 277 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:30.960 opened in my house. I'll buy one of these, and it just, 278 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.160 you know, it just makes these things more prevalent in homes everywhere. It 279 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:37.559 makes good sense. It's like having a smoke detector in your house, you 280 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.599 know. Yeah, And it's fun. Like you'll just find new uses, 281 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.440 like for your garage, Like people think they leave their garage open all the 282 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.279 time. If you have one of these little sensors, you can actually look 283 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:51.319 at your phone and no without walking outside. Okay, and before I let 284 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:55.279 you go, I just saw that Cyber Monday numbers were in and sales are 285 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:59.319 up like ten percent over last year to twelve point four billion. Are there 286 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:03.839 still out there or they do? They go away? After Monday? A 287 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.599 lot of them went away. I'm seeing like kind of a little bit of 288 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:11.359 remnants of some deals. Sports stuff is supposedly going to be on sale in 289 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:14.200 the next week or so, so if you're looking like sports equipment for your 290 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.920 kids, but a lot of the things that I was tracking, I would 291 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:21.079 say about fifty percent of them, the prices just jumped right back up. 292 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:23.880 But you know, we'll see. I think people spent a lot of money, 293 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:29.759 so retailers might give it another go before the holiday because they see that 294 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.079 people are willing to spend money, so they're saying, you know what, 295 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:34.440 let's do one more discount. But I don't think the discounts are going to 296 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.720 be as great as they were on Cyber Monday. They really are the best 297 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.519 on that day. And I didn't spend a time. Okay, oh you 298 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:48.519 didn't. Good for you, Rich Demiro, Thank you so much for spending 299 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.440 some time with us today. This is KTLA tech reporter Rich Demiro. In 300 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:53.680 case you didn't know, he's also the host of rich on Tech right here 301 00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:57.559 on KFI Saturdays from eleven to two. Lots and lots of great tech advice 302 00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.720 for you, and you can follow Rich on Instagram at rich on Tech his 303 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.559 website rich on Tech dot tv. Thanks so much, Rich, we'll talk 304 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.160 to you next week. Thank you. Amy. Let's get back to some 305 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.160 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. The family 306 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.480 of a man shot and killed by a CHP officer on on one O five 307 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.000 Freeway and Lynn Wood says the man was having mental health issues. The family 308 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.440 of Jesse Deminguez filed a claim against the CHP earlier this month. An officer 309 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:27.119 responded to reports that Dimingez was walking on the freeway. The CHP says Diminguez 310 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:32.279 used a taser on the officer during a struggle. Attorney Michael Correo says the 311 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.079 family has yet to see proof Dimingez had a taser. We can't depend on 312 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:38.079 the cchp's word. We want to see the evidence. Attorneys say the officer 313 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:42.079 should have called in more resources and should not have shot Demingez they're calling on 314 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:48.559 DA Gascone to prosecute the officer. Blake Trolli KFI news talks continue to extend 315 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.839 the pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas, who allowed for the release of 316 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:56.680 more hostages and Palestinian prisoners. The original four day ceasefire was extended by two 317 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.480 days on Monday, when it was first set to a spire, and now 318 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:06.400 it's expected to expire today. Billionaire Mark Cuban has announced next year will be 319 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:10.480 his last on Shark Tank, while he reportedly works on a deal to sell 320 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.839 a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks. ABC's Alex Stones's. Cuban is looking 321 00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.440 to sell the stake in the NBA franchise to a family that runs casinos in 322 00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:22.319 Las Vegas. Mark Cuban would remain in control of all day to day basketball 323 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:27.160 decisions despite selling much of the team worth billions of dollars. The Adelson family 324 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:32.359 said yesterday was selling two billion dollars of its shares in the Las Vegas Sands 325 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:37.799 Corporation to buy an unspecified professional sports team. Twelve more hostages have been released 326 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:42.680 by Hamas as part of an extended ceasefire deal with Israel. This is supposed 327 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:47.240 to be the last day of a six day ceasefire. About one hundred and 328 00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:52.440 seventy people are still being held hostage by Hamas. A homeless woman has been 329 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.599 arrested after a philanthropist was shot and killed in his home on the Miracle Mile. 330 00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.079 Police say the woman broke into Lead with Love CEO oh Michael Latt's home 331 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.759 on Monday night. The woman was arrested at the home and is being held 332 00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:08.119 on three million dollars bail. Former First Lady Roslynd Carter will be buried in 333 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:14.200 her hometown of Plains in South Georgia today. All living First Ladies, former 334 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:19.079 President Clinton and President Biden, along with President Carter, attended a service held 335 00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:25.000 for Roslind Carter yesterday in Atlanta at Emory University. At six oh five, 336 00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:29.680 It's handle on the news. Mayor Bath says she has housed eighteen thousand homeless 337 00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:33.039 people. But the big question now is will they stay that way? At 338 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.200 five point fifty why the skies could soon smell a little like French fries. 339 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:47.039 It'll make sense, I promise. Sami's on it. Dami's on It's on 340 00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:53.960 it, Dami's on it. What am I on I am on a plethora 341 00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:59.160 of streaming shows because there's documentaries, there's series, there's movies. There's so 342 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:00.400 much to see. How how do you know what to see? And so 343 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:07.200 lots of times they take recommendations from my friends, my family. They have 344 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.640 good recommendations most of the time. Right now, we're going to check out 345 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:17.640 Lessons in Chemistry. It's on Apple TV stars Brie Larson. It was being 346 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:21.880 released weekly as Apple does, but now the full season is out, so 347 00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:25.640 if you want to binge it, you can. So. Bree Larson plays 348 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:30.079 a chemist who, because she's a woman in the nineteen fifties, really struggles 349 00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.240 with it because she can only be a lab tech because women don't they can't 350 00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:37.599 be lead scientists in the nineteen fifties. The chemist she works with kind of 351 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.359 treat her more like a secretary. She does make a mean cup of coffee 352 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.079 because she's a chemist after all. It's a good character for Bree Larson. 353 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:53.000 She is stoic, she's unemotional yet scientifically incredibly curious, and you it's really 354 00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:56.920 great because I think she does. She's such a good actress. She does 355 00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.400 a really good job with this role. So you see her fall, you 356 00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.599 see her get up. You see her grow, and you see her evolve, 357 00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:03.720 and I always like when they do that with a character arc, like 358 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:08.079 the character doesn't stay the same throughout the series, and she definitely does some 359 00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:14.279 evolving. It follows her journey from the lab to the kitchen, where she 360 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:17.480 ends up posting a TV show called Supper at Six, which we know from 361 00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:21.400 the very first episode because they launch it with her on TV, So I'm 362 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:26.000 not spoiling anything for you. Probably won't be another season. The show pretty 363 00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.200 much comes to a satisfying and that it was based on a book, so 364 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:33.079 it kind of encapsulates the book. I would imagine. I have not read 365 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.839 the book. If they wanted to do another season, I think they probably 366 00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:40.680 could, but from what I'm hearing, there aren't any talks right now to 367 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:44.400 see it. But definitely worth the watch. Thought that was a really good 368 00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:48.480 one. And then, as I tend to do when I start streaming stuff, 369 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.359 then I start searching around and I dive down rabbit holes. And I 370 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.240 did it yesterday because after I got done watching the last episode of Lessons in 371 00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:02.720 Chemistry, I found Hannah Waddingtons home for Christmas, and of course Hannah Wattington 372 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.640 was Rebecca on ted Lasso, and so she does this Christmas special. It 373 00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.359 again is on Apple TV. It's only forty five minutes, so it's a 374 00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:12.480 pretty quick watch. And I will tell you that one is a good one. 375 00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:15.799 If you want to feel good about the Christmas season and just you know, 376 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:22.039 feel happy and joyous, this is the one to watch because her excitement 377 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.839 enthusiasm comes through in spades, and she's just beautiful and boy can she sing. 378 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:30.799 And then it was really fun too, because it was like the whole 379 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.319 cast of ted Lasso was there for the show. It was a live show 380 00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:37.079 in London at a theater and it was really good. And then, as 381 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:38.319 I mentioned, I went down that rabbit hole and then went, you know 382 00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:42.279 what, I really loved the Christmas episode of ted Lasso. So I went 383 00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:47.400 and found that and watched that, and it reiterated my belief that ted Lasso 384 00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:52.519 is probably the best show on TV in the last ten years. It's fabulous. 385 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.160 If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it. If you have 386 00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.839 watched it, watch it again because again I watched the Christmas episode last night 387 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.880 and it still just made me smile. And if you need to feel good 388 00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:07.240 and you want to be Happy. Ted Lasso's The Way to Do It Again 389 00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.559 on Apple TV. That's what I'm on this week. Now, let's get 390 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.319 back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news 391 00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.400 room. Irvine is looking to ban single use plastics in local businesses. The 392 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.079 city's Adam Cavici says the first year of the ordinance would be dedicated to giving 393 00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:27.519 businesses time to make the changes they need to give businesses time to run down 394 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:33.039 their existing stock for city staff to connect them to alternative products that replace the 395 00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:38.119 plastic ones that were prohibiting right now. The ordinance would prevent the sale of 396 00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:45.279 small plastic water bottles and require restaurants to use compostable or compostable utensils for takeout. 397 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:49.240 A man has been shot and killed outside a house in San Dimas Sheriff's 398 00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:53.720 deputies were sent to the home just before seven last night following a medical rescue 399 00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:56.839 call. Lieutenant Art Spencer says they found the man had been shot in the 400 00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:03.440 upper body. We're canvassing the uh location for any surveillance videos, for processing 401 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.200 the scene for evidence, and we'll be conducting witness interviews as well. No 402 00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.400 description of the shooter's been given or a reason for the shooting. A man 403 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:17.039 from Lake Forest has been convicted a first degree murder for beating his longtime girlfriend 404 00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.319 to death. The couple shared adult children and a twenty year relationship, but 405 00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:23.680 Dora Moreno called it quit seven months before the murder, then four days before 406 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:27.079 the killing. In twenty twenty one, Omar Velasquez Oar found out about a 407 00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:32.200 new boyfriend. The man hid his car and ambushed Moreno on her way to 408 00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:33.799 work, beating her with a tire iron in the back of the head. 409 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:38.680 Jurrors Monday rejected a special circumstance allegation of lying in wait. The man faces 410 00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:44.119 twenty six years to life in prison without parole at sentencing set for January in 411 00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:48.279 Orange County. Corbin Carson kf I News did he has temporarily stepped down as 412 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:55.000 chairman of his cable TV network, Revolt, amid multiple sexual abuse allegations. 413 00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.400 Revolt announced the rapper's decision on social media yesterday. The network says it'll help 414 00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:03.880 ensure that Revolt stays focused on its mission to create meaningful content for the culture 415 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:08.640 and amplify the voices of black people. Earlier this month, Diddy's former girlfriend 416 00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:14.799 accused him of raping and beating her during their decades long relationship, but then 417 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:21.400 they settled the lawsuits. Don't know what that settlement was. Google Maps is 418 00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:26.240 taking some heat for guiding travelers down a desert road to nowhere. Drivers heading 419 00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.880 back to Los Angeles from Las Vegas earlier this month apparently attempted to bypass a 420 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:36.559 dust storm in the Mojave Desert. Well, Google Maps told them to head 421 00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:41.119 down that road. More than a dozen travelers ended up on this really rough 422 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:44.359 dirt road in the middle of the desert. One woman who made it back 423 00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:47.799 to Vegas says her car was damaged during the rough ride and she had to 424 00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:52.559 take it in for tire and alignment repairs. Millions of Californians would be getting 425 00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:59.759 a special Christmas gift from Disney. Disneyland is slashing ticket prices to seventy five 426 00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:03.359 dollars for people who live in the southern part of the state. Yeah, 427 00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.519 that's us. Anyone living within the zip codes between nine zero zero zero zero 428 00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:12.359 two nine three five nine nine can visit either park three times on select days. 429 00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:17.519 The discount is good from January second to June second, and will let 430 00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:22.359 families take part in several festivities, including Lunar New Year that happens in February. 431 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.799 At least one service member has been killed in the crash of a US 432 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:33.559 Osprey aircraft that went down in the waters off western Japan. The Coastguard says 433 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.480 six people were on board the Osprey. Witnesses say it looked like an engine 434 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.680 was on fire as the Osprey went down. The NYPD is getting ready for 435 00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:48.559 potential protests during the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony tonight. Pro Palestinian organizers 436 00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.440 posted on social media for their supporters to flood the ceremony in support of Gaza. 437 00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.400 You're going to pay more for your Christmas tree this year. The American 438 00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.839 Christmas Tree Association says prices are up ten percent. You can blame it on 439 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:04.720 inflation, higher gas prices, transportation costs, and trees lost to wildfires. 440 00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:08.920 Most Christmas trees come to us from Oregon and Washington. I always buy mine 441 00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.720 from Oregon. Reminds me of home. We're just a couple of minutes away 442 00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:15.599 from Handle. On the news this morning, a key Fed official is hinting 443 00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:19.599 at not another interest rate hike, but a cut, and it could be 444 00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:25.720 coming soon. Right now, let's say hi and good morning to ABC News 445 00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:30.119 correspondent from the Transportation Unit, Sam Sweeney. Good morning, Sam, Any, 446 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.519 Good morning are you. I'm I'm doing great. So I'm hearing that 447 00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:42.359 the skies could smell soon like French fries. You could say that a big 448 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:47.920 milestone. Yesterday, a Virgin Atlantic seventy seven dream Liner with Richard Branton on 449 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.240 board, flu from London to New York and they used what's known as one 450 00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:57.119 sustainable aviation fuel, which is made of of used cooking oil or animal waste 451 00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:02.200 and corn waste of farm by products, and it's about seventy percent cleaner than 452 00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.200 traditional petroleum jet, a fuel that we normally use in planes. There weren't 453 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:13.160 paying passengers on board. This is purely a test, one little step and 454 00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:17.160 a long journey to help roll this out more mainstream. Okay, so you 455 00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:23.200 said it was made up of processed cooking oil and waste animal fat. They 456 00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:27.519 have to have a lot of fuel to fly across the ocean. Where'd they 457 00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:31.039 get it all? Well, there's a couple of companies that are making this 458 00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:35.519 and they use a number of different sources, but it is a lot of 459 00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:40.039 form farm waste, even sugar water. And there's a company called Yron. 460 00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:45.200 It's in based in Wisconsin. One of the company's marathon also working to create 461 00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:50.720 safas fuel. And the problem is with this, what you just pointed out, 462 00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.720 is getting it to scale and getting it to the airports. Actually the 463 00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:59.160 transportation of it. You know, we have infrastructure that moves aviation fuel from 464 00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:05.240 you know, processing plans to the airports, but getting this fuel there is 465 00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:07.559 challenging. And it's also more expensive to buy this fuel. It's about three 466 00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:10.920 to five times the cost. So the airlines aren't inclined to purchase it, 467 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:16.720 which means the manufacturers aren't inclined to produce it at a mass scale. So 468 00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:22.720 they need the government and private dollars to come in and subsidize this to get 469 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:27.960 it to scalability so that we can put it in more planes. And right 470 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:31.960 now, the FAA is only certifying staff for up to fifty percent of fuel 471 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:36.240 per plane, but we're still nowhere near that number. You and I are 472 00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:38.480 not going to be on a plane with fifty percent staff at any time soon, 473 00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:42.920 but we are on planes right now where it is blended in, especially 474 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:46.920 in Los Angeles. Las is a big airport that uses safas fuel and they 475 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:52.839 blend it into that petroleum jet, a fuel that we know now to help 476 00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:57.079 make it just a little bit cleaner. Who knew. I had no idea 477 00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:00.079 about that. So you said that the transportation is problem. I mean, 478 00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:06.319 if they made the switch, could they just use existing lines and infrastructure and 479 00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:10.559 just switch it over to the renewable fuel. You could, And that's the 480 00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:14.719 best part about the staff fuels that's considered tropped in, which means you don't 481 00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:17.639 need to change anything. You don't need to change the engines on the planes, 482 00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:21.920 you don't need to add any new technology or equipment to make it work. 483 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:24.960 But these fuel lines that have been built over decades, you know, 484 00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:30.760 come from you know, the Gulf Coast or the ports in Los Angeles. 485 00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:36.440 They don't come from these facilities that are producing saff right now. So it's 486 00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.039 going to be a logistical challenge. We're going to have to get some infrastructure 487 00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:44.199 set up and of course get it to scale and make it worthwhile for everyone 488 00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:47.119 to use. But there's a major push to make aviation greener right now. 489 00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:53.000 Greenhouse gases from airplanes are about two percent of overall global emissions, so big 490 00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:55.639 push to get them to be a little bit cleaner. Okay, And you 491 00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:00.719 said subsidies may be a way to bring it up to scale, but I 492 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:02.760 know that like in California, they're saying, hey, it has to be 493 00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:06.840 all electric cars for any new cars after like twenty thirty five. I can't 494 00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:09.519 remember what the year is, but are there rumblings within the government they might 495 00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:14.440 start cracking down on the airlines and say, hey, you've got to make 496 00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:21.079 this switch. There are goals. You know, there's no limits right now 497 00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:23.320 because we just don't have the technology, but the airlines want to be you 498 00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:29.039 know, carbon neutral by twenty fifty. It's an ambitious goal. And you 499 00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:31.079 know, as far as saf goes, some are saying that we could be 500 00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:35.960 a ten percent by twenty thirty. Some experts say that's ambitious. It's more 501 00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.360 like twenty thirty five, twenty forty. But there are a number of new 502 00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:42.960 technologies that are rolling out, but it takes time. And like you just 503 00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:46.000 mentioned electric cars, there are subsidized and nose with seventy five hundred dollars text 504 00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:51.440 credits. You know, there are manufacturer credits to incentivize you know, getting 505 00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:54.039 electric cars, and there are benefits electric cars, you know, require less 506 00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:59.599 maintenance. But they also you know, the tires on electric cars turn out 507 00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:04.400 quicker. So there are drawbacks. There are negatives and positives, but just 508 00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:07.159 like that, we need the investment to bring it to scale. All right, 509 00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.920 Well, we've got to start super interesting and so this guys aren't going 510 00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:15.639 to smell like French frise anytime soon, not anytime sooner. We'll get there, 511 00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:19.239 all right, Great, Sam Sweeney, thanks so much for your information 512 00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.039 today. Appreciate it. Thank you. Let's get back to some of the 513 00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:27.159 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Three agencies on Maui 514 00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:31.719 have been hit with subpoenas over that fatal wildfire back in August. Hawaii's Attorney 515 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:36.440 General says the Mali Emergency Management Agency, the Mali Department of Public Works, 516 00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:38.880 and the Mali Department of Water Supply. We're supposed to provide documents to the 517 00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:43.599 Fire Safety Research Institute, which was hired by the Attorney General to investigate the 518 00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:46.559 events leading up to and during the fires. Officials say at least ninety county 519 00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:51.480 employees have already been interviewed and hundreds of documents have been reviewed. The fire 520 00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:54.239 killed at least one hundred people and destroyed the historic town of Lehina. Steve 521 00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:59.159 Corregory kf I News. A military plane from the US carrying fifty four thousand 522 00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:02.440 pounds of food and medical supplies for people in Gaza has landed in Egypt. 523 00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:07.559 The plane is the first of three aimed at helping with the humanitarian crisis during 524 00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.920 the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The US Agency for International Development said yesterday. 525 00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:16.400 The supplies will be transported on the ground to Gaza and distributed to Palestinians 526 00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:21.840 by the United Nations. The Hamas controlled region has been sealed off by Israel 527 00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:25.840 since the group's surprise attack on Israeli border towns last month. A new study 528 00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:30.400 has found a super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy is spinning 529 00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:36.320 rapidly and altering space time around it. Hard to wrap your head around that. 530 00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:40.960 Space time is the four dimensional continuum that describes how people see space, 531 00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:47.480 fusing one dimensional time and three dimensional space together to represent the space fabric that 532 00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:52.320 curves in response to celestial bodies. Yeah, my head's exploding right now. 533 00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:58.280 A team of scientists or physicists rather studied the black hole, which is twenty 534 00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:01.159 six thousand light years from Earth. They said last month, the spinning black 535 00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:07.360 hole is dramatically dragging the space time in its vicinity.
