It's days, not weeks. That's 15 00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.959 how long. Governor Newsom says it's going to take two Get the damaged ten 16 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:14.000 Freeway in downtown La reopened. He announced yesterday that work continues around the clock 17 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:19.079 and all find five lanes in both directions will be open again by Tuesday, 18 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.319 before Thanksgiving. Israel is apparently getting closer to a deal with Hamas that would 19 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:29.799 allow fifty women and children hostages to be freed in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and 20 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.120 a three day pause in Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip.

On this one. 30 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.960 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 31 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.080 hour newsroom. As I just mentioned, Governor Newsom says the ten Freeway in 32 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:22.759 downtown LA will reopen no later than Tuesday of next week. That is a 33 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.840 significant improvement on the basis of our original timeline three to five weeks. Newsom 34 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.680 says it could even be sooner, but they don't want to overpromise. Officials 35 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:36.039 say it's great news that all five lanes in both directions will be ready to 36 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.960 go ahead of the busy holiday travel season. Police in southern California say crash 37 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.280 and grab robbers are on the rise. One robbery happened on the ten Freeway 38 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.919 in mid City LA last month. Thieves robbed a jeweler after crashing into his 39 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.840 car and forcing him off the road. A similar robbery happened this month on 40 00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.759 the four h five at Beach Boulevard in Orange County. Investigators say the appear 41 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.159 to be connected to the jewelry industry. The Israeli military says the bodies of 42 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.120 two people taken hostage by Hamas have been found near the Alshifa Hospital in Gaza, 43 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.039 where Israeli troops have been looking for militants. ABC's Patrick Reevel says one 44 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:16.719 was a sixty five year old woman. As far as we know, this 45 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.599 is the first body of a hostage that has been found by the IDEF. 46 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.199 This is coming just as these talks are starting to show perhaps some signs of 47 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:30.120 progress that maybe towards freeing these hostages. The body of a nineteen year old 48 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.759 soldier taken hostage was also near the hospital where the Israeli military says it has 49 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.960 discovered hamas weapons. You see. Students from across the state have gathered at 50 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:46.520 UCLA to call for an end to anti Semitism. The students called on elected 51 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.840 officials to stand strong against Jewish hate. This U see Santa Barbara, Jewish 52 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.680 student, says his own classmates have been calling for the eradication of his people. 53 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.960 Today. We're terrified. I am terrified, Terrified because a Jewish man 54 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.400 was murdered ten days ago in La Terrified because my family, who was once 55 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.599 hiding in an attic, is now hiding in the bomb shelter. The students 56 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.479 were joined by survivors of the October seventh Tomas attacks on Israel, who spoke 57 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.639 about the fear that comes with just being Jewish, Some students said they're avoiding 58 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:19.319 going to their campuses.

They're used to being able to 64 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.319 go on the grass and play and throw the ball around.

Corbin Carson KFI news. President Biden has 68 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:05.839 signed the latest continuing resolution to keep the government open. ABC's Andy Field says 69 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:11.199 it'll keep things running at least through January aason, stead of buying themselves another 70 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.920 two months until they face the same crisis in January, this time with a 71 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.879 two tier possible shutdown, some funding expiring before the rest.

The festival is free to attend starting next Friday, November twenty 82 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.480 fourth. It's five h six on your wake up call. Let's say good 83 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:15.800 morning to ABC's national correspondent Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, things aren't looking too good 84 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.600 for New York Representative George Santos. No, they're not not in the wake 85 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:26.480 of yesterday's scathing, damning report by the House Ethics Committee, a conclusion of 86 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.879 an investigation that's been underway all year long, perhaps the most damning report ever 87 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.079 issued by the House Ethics Committee, accusing the gentleman from New York of violating 88 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:41.079 campaign finance law, deceiving his donors, stealing his campaign funds, lying about 89 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.800 his background, and calling the integrity of the House into question. These things, 90 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.279 according to the Committee, bring the House into severe disrepute, and it 91 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.759 is essentially they're going to be the call this morning from the Chairman of the 92 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:59.879 House Ethics Committee to expel George Santos, who has survived to prior expulsion. 93 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:01.879 But we can get into some of the dynamics about that in just a second. 94 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.439 Let's first talk about what's in this report. It alleges that the Long 95 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:11.959 Island Republican blatantly stole from his campaign, set up shell companies, and transferred 96 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:17.959 campaign funds with loans, and use the money to pay for things to benefit 97 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:26.279 himself, purchases at Firagamo and er Maze, botox and spa treatments, weekends 98 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.439 in the Hampton's and Atlantic City, and even according to the report charges on 99 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:38.040 the adult website OnlyFans. The report is, as I say, scathing and 100 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:43.360 includes evidence, according to its authors, that even federal prosecutors might not have 101 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.399 had. And so the committee has decided to transfer its evidence to federal prosecutors 102 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:53.839 who are already bringing charges against George Santos in federal court twenty three counts involving 103 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:59.800 wirefraud and identity theft allegations, which Santos denies, and the hope of the 104 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.519 MIDI is that that indictment will be padded with additional allegations as a result of 105 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:11.319 the committee's investigation. So even though he has not admitted to this stuff, 106 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.560 I mean, like you just rattled off a laundry list of stuff his kind 107 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.160 of stances. Hey, the voters elected me, and I'm staying where I 108 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.279 am. Yeah, basically. And but look what he's saying is the allegations 109 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.920 aren't true, and you have to prove they're true, and that he was 110 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.519 sent to Congress to do the work of the people, and he intends to 111 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.759 focus on the work. And he says that the allegations the report against him 112 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.480 is biased and a political smear, but the political impact of it all is 113 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:46.080 real and look, all year there have been people calling for this man to 114 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.759 step down. He has refused those calls. It's his fellow New York Republicans 115 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.480 who have moved most recently for his ouster. And earlier this month there was 116 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.440 a vote on whether to expel George Santos, and it failed to achieve even 117 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.559 a simple majority, never mind the two thirds majority provided for an Article one 118 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.720 of the Constitution to expel a member of the House. There were due process 119 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.960 concerns. The House Ethics Committee, for one, had not completed its review 120 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:15.679 at the time it now has. And the other issue is, and this 121 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.320 is going to be one that will come up in about ten days when this 122 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.039 motion comes up on the floor for a vote, is he hasn't been convicted 123 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:28.279 of a crime. These are allegations, they remain for the moment unproven. 124 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.919 Santos denies them. He hasn't had his day in court. And perhaps it's 125 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.360 a bit precipitate for the House to expel Santos at this point. You'd have 126 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.440 to go back in history, really far back to the earliest days of the 127 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.600 Civil War to find an example of the House of Representatives expelling a member who 128 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.759 had not first been convicted a trial. The most recent example of an expulsion 129 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:54.480 was Jim traffickan from Ohio, and about twenty years ago he was convicted of 130 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.320 crimes and ultimately expelled. He was a flamboyant man who used to say the 131 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.879 things like beam up on the floor of the house when he finished his speeches. 132 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.399 I think that there'll be an avalanche of votes to expel George Santos when 133 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.679 the vote is called in the wake of this scathing Ethics Committee report. Yeah, 134 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.200 it does not look good for him now if they expelled him, can 135 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.399 he appeal that or is it just done deal? Nope, there's no appeal. 136 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.399 Oh, okay, all right. And he did announce though that he 137 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.600 is not going to run for reelection. Before he had said he was going 138 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.480 to, but yesterday didn't day He's not going to that's right, Okay, 139 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.360 Well, we shall see. And do we know or have any kind of 140 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.000 idea when they might call for a vote, probably right after the Thanksgiving break? 141 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.960 Okay, well, let him eat his jerky and then throw him out 142 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.480 of Congress. We shall see. Stephen Portney, thank you so much for 143 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.720 your information. We'll be watching it. Let's get back to some of the 144 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.879 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

ABC's Alex Stone says the federal jury 149 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:15.080 deliberated for about eight hours before finding David Depap guilty yesterday. De Pap admitted 150 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:20.120 during the trial that he broke into the Pelosi home last year, intending to 151 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.200 hold Nancy Pelosi hostage and break her kneecaps. He also admitted to hitting Paul 152 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.720 Pelosi with a hammer. He's facing up to fifty years in prison.

The complaints as 161 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.879 Cassie endured over a decade of his violent behavior and disturbed demands. A lawyer 162 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.840 for Diddi rejected the accusations, calling them offensive and outrageous. The son of 163 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:24.600 comedian Dana Carvey has died from an accidental drug overdose. Dana Carvey and his 164 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.720 wife Paula announced on social media they suffered a terrible tragedy.

We uh just 170 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:58.120 heard about this hound ogue. He has helped sniff out a lost cat that 171 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:03.360 was stuck a lot one hundred feet down a mine shaft. This happened in 172 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:09.960 Cromwell, England. So the cat's name is Mowgli. Her owner, Michelle 173 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.279 Rose, said that she had almost given up hope of finding her missing pet, 174 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:20.879 but then Daisy the hound dog found her. Mowgli and another kitten named 175 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:26.480 Blue were adopted in last December, and Daisy the hound dog became like the 176 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.679 protector of the kittens as they grew up and apparently learned to love them. 177 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:37.559 And so when Mowgli went missing, Daisy started going berserk. A few days 178 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:43.720 after that, and Michelle Rose says that Daisy led her to an old opening 179 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:50.000 in a mine shaft. They called in animal rescue. They came out to 180 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.679 the mines, they spotted Mowgli, who was one hundred feet down and amazingly 181 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.519 uninjured. Well, they had to wait for a little bit because it was 182 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.519 dark, but then they eventually pulled Mowgli to safety and the kitten was greeted 183 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:09.200 by its compatriots, a relieved donor and the good dog Daisy. Dogs are 184 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.720 amazing, hey. The thirteenth annual KFI Pastathon is here.

You're listening to wake 206 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.519 Up Call on demand from KFI Am six forty. Can just hear that the 207 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.120 promo for Christmas Music. I will tell you. We were out and about 208 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.039 last night for one of our Christmas features, which we'll be sharing with you 209 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.759 in the next week or two, and we heard Christmas music and it was 210 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.720 kind of the first time I had heard a bunch of Christmas music for an 211 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.159 extended period of time, and I was like, ah, I like this, 212 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.080 Ask me in mid December, but right now I like it. Here's 213 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.240 what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Governor Newsom says all 214 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.919 five lanes of the ten Freeway in downtown LA in both directions are going to 215 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:14.360 be open by Tuesday, instead of in three to five weeks is first estimated. 216 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.200 Crews continue to work to repair support pillars that were damaged in a fire 217 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.399 under the freeway almost a week ago. Involuntary manslaughter charges have been filed against 218 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:27.519 a man accused of killing a Jewish protester doing dueling Israel Palestine rallies in one 219 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:32.320 thousand Oaks. The fifty year old man is a professor at more Park College. 220 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:37.720 Angels Superstar Show Hey Otani has been named the American League's Most Valuable Player 221 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.799 for a second time.

The pitcher and hitter is a 222 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:47.080 free agent and could get the richest contract in MLB history if he signs with 223 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.320 a new team in the offseason. At six oh five's handle on the news. 224 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.360 Some toys should not be under the Christmas tree this year. Bill was 225 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:56.440 going to tell you about what some of those are. Right now, let's 226 00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:02.120 say good morning to ABC's Geordana Miller with us from Jerusalem. Jordana, we're 227 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:06.480 hearing more rumblings that a deal toket dozens of hostages out of Gaza is getting 228 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:14.359 closer. There are sources here in Drusalem that are confirming the talks are progressing 229 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:21.920 advancing. There still is some dispute over the number of hostages. It seems 230 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.440 the baseline number is fifty that would include women and children and the elderly, 231 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:33.480 and the baseline of a seafire would be three days, so it could be 232 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:40.279 four or five or six days. But there seems to be good faith on 233 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:47.119 all sides to try to work on this deal and get those hostages released. 234 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:52.759 Israel, on its part, would be releasing jailed Palestinians here, women and 235 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.400 miners, maybe some men over the age of fifty, and Israel would also 236 00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:04.319 agree to let in more AID trucks and more fuel. Today Israel announced that 237 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:11.200 it will allow two trucks with tons of fuel each day into the Gaza strip. 238 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.119 Now that is a big change because Israel said it would not allow any 239 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:21.279 fuel in fearing that Hamas would take it and steal it. But the situation 240 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:25.079 has become so dire in southern Gaza, where they're just is in fuel for 241 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:30.960 communication systems or hospitals or desalination plants or even for the trucks that deliver the 242 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:36.680 aid that Israel you know, really changed its policy and is going to let 243 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:41.559 fuel in and you know that should alleviate some of the of the difficulty, 244 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:47.200 okay. And they're letting those in when they do that because as you mentioned, 245 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:48.599 they're worried that Hamas is just going to take them and use them and 246 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.319 they're not actually going to be used for humanitarian purposes. Are there any protections 247 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.799 with it or do they just have to kind of take their chances on this 248 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:02.559 one because the crisis is getting so bad. Well, no, Israel's going 249 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:07.000 to be watching it. It'll be delivered into the hands of the UN agency 250 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:14.240 that oversees aid for the Palestinians, what's called Umrah, and they will distribute 251 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:21.079 the fuel accordingly. Israel has said if it finds that this fuel or other 252 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:23.359 aid that's been coming in gets into the hands of Humas, you know, 253 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:29.039 they'll take actions, you know, whatever that means. Okay. And then 254 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.880 also the other thing that we wanted to talk to you about today was the 255 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:38.960 fighting at the Al Shifa hospital, and the Idea forces have said pretty much 256 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.799 since the start that Hamas is operating out of or under the hospital. What 257 00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.759 kinds of things have they found now that they're inside the hospital? Right, 258 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:55.240 So this is day three of Israel's operation inside the Al Shifa complex, and 259 00:19:55.279 --> 00:20:00.240 they've already found the newest things they found yesterday later Journam that we found out 260 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:07.000 about were first of all, the first tunnel shaft inside the complex, which 261 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:14.720 indicates clearly some tunnels underneath the hospital. They also found a car, a 262 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:22.759 truck filled with explosives and ammunition and weapons, you know, given them the 263 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.799 model of the truck, they say, you know, it looks like maybe 264 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.599 it was one of the trucks that was supposed to be part of the October 265 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:33.599 seventh attack, but possibly it's now you know, being it had been maybe 266 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.559 converted into a weapon storage center. But that was also found at the hospital. 267 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.119 And there, you know, they've found several laptops, a one we're 268 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:48.960 told has unseen video of the hostages after October seventh. Uh, And they're 269 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:53.519 you know, essentially uh, you know, gleaning any you know, going 270 00:20:53.599 --> 00:21:00.279 through floor by floor to find any weapons, evidence of operations, and you 271 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.240 know, try to glean also intel on the hostages. Israel's Prime minister told 272 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:10.160 CBS that intel has strong indications that the hostages were at some point held at 273 00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:15.000 Al Shifa. We're waiting to hear more about the evidence on that, but 274 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:21.319 you know, they've already uncovered a lot of a lot of things that should 275 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:26.640 never be at a hospital, you know, which seemed to back up their 276 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.960 claims that Hamas was using the hospital for operations. And this is even before 277 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.119 they get to the underground facilities. Okay. And there is something else that 278 00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:38.599 they found and I'm not sure that it was it wasn't It was in the 279 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:44.559 hospital complex complex, and that is the body of one of the hostages, 280 00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:52.559 right. They actually found two two bodies of Israeli hostages in two residential buildings 281 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:59.240 right next to the Al Shifa medical complex, so not inside. We're told 282 00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:03.920 that both of them were found infrigerators, which indicates, you know, they've 283 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.079 been probably killed for some time. Both of those bodies now in Israel. 284 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:15.400 One, a nineteen year old has been laid to rest. This young girl 285 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:21.359 was actually in one of the Humus propaganda videos a few days ago where they 286 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:25.640 said that she was dead. And her name is Noah, Noah Marciano, 287 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:30.240 and she has been laid to rest in a city between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv 288 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.200 called Modine. The other is a sixty five year old Israeli peace activist. 289 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.640 Her husband was killed on the day of the attack in Berie, a community 290 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:42.079 right on the border. She was taken captive and now she will be buried 291 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:48.960 next to her husband. Okay, all right, well don't it's not good 292 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.079 news. I don't know if that tells people some closure or what. But 293 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.079 Jordana, thank you so much for the information, and we'll be checking in 294 00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.680 with you again, and I'm sure that you'll have an update for on Monday 295 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.240 about the hopeful deal for to get the hostages out or at least some of 296 00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:08.200 them.

That's how long 308 00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.200 Governor Newsom says it's going to take to get the damage ten Freeway in downtown 309 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.039 La open to traffic. He announced yesterday work continues around the clock and that 310 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.160 all five lanes in both directions are going to be open again by Tuesday. 311 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.920 Israel apparently getting closer to a deal with Hamas that would allow fifty women and 312 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:17.880 children hostages to be freed in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and at least a three 313 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:22.559 day pause in Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip. Boreal Mountain Resort near 314 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:26.839 Lake Tahoe is opening this morning. It's one of the first in the state 315 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.559 this season. Officials say they have a solid twenty four inch base thanks to 316 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.400 more than a dozen snow guns. The other two ski areas that had planned 317 00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:40.039 to open today have had to delay openings because of warmer than expected weather. 318 00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.559 At six oh five, it's handled on the news. Police have made an 319 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.880 arrest in the death of a sixty nine year old Jewish man who died after 320 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:52.240 getting into a scuffle during dueling Israeli Palestinian protests in Thousand Oaks. At five 321 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:56.359 point fifty, we're going to be talking to ABC's Jason Nathanson. He'll tell 322 00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:00.119 us if the odds are ever in our favor of getting a really good at 323 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.880 Hunger Games sequel. Let's say good morning right now to the host of Home 324 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.720 on KFI. It's our house whisper Dean Sharp Dean. Last week we started 325 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:14.079 talking about decorating for the holidays, and now, with Christmas just days away, 326 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:15.960 or at least the Christmas season, let's talk about some of the fun 327 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.680 things we can do to make our homes holiday ready this year. Good morning, 328 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:23.119 Amy, Yeah, it is time. It is. Well, here's 329 00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:27.680 an interesting fact for those of you who are itching to get started at your 330 00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:32.400 holiday decorating. I was a little surprised, Well maybe I wasn't so much 331 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:37.920 surprised. I was surprised by the number fifty five percent of households that are 332 00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:44.000 decorating this year have now already begun decorating before Thanksgiving. Fifty's a lot, 333 00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:47.359 so over half of the people who are playing. And by the way, 334 00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:52.440 it's a large, large number. About eighty percent of households in the United 335 00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.319 States are going to be doing some kind of holiday decoration this year, tree 336 00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:57.920 or the house, or both, or one or the other. You know. 337 00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:03.079 So yeah, if you're feeling the itch, it is absolutely acceptable. 338 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.920 You're in the majority of people to get started early on your house. And 339 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.440 since everybody else is doing it, you should do it too, of course, 340 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:14.880 because that always yields the best things in life, I know. Okay, 341 00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.279 so before we talk about holiday or Christmas holiday, I want to back 342 00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:21.920 up because last week you gave me grief for skipping over Thanksgiving, so I 343 00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:25.200 want to go back to Thanksgiving for just one thing. And Thanksgiving is the 344 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:30.759 gatherings of groups, which means lots of settings, lots of place settings at 345 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:36.839 your Thanksgiving table and tables notoriously don't match up. So you've got that big 346 00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:41.200 bump when you put the tables together, and then you have the one table 347 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:42.480 that one leg is shorter than the other. So how are we going to 348 00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:47.079 fix that so we have a nice, pristine Thanksgiving table. I had never 349 00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:49.079 thought of this. I love this idea. Yeah, well it's a kind 350 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:53.039 of a frustrating thing when you think about it, because if you've gone into 351 00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.960 the investment of getting yourself a really nice dining room table, I mean, 352 00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:02.559 how many of us have perch just a dining room table that seats fifteen, 353 00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:07.519 right, I mean we just don't. And yet here is arguably, arguably 354 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:12.039 the most elegant, important dinner of the year for some families, and your 355 00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.839 dining room table is not enough. It just isn't enough. And so you 356 00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.799 know, you've got the classic solutions, which is, you know, you 357 00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.599 put the kids at the card table, you know, sit at the kids 358 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.559 table in the family room. But if you really want to get everybody together, 359 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.200 and you've got another table available, any kind of table, a folding 360 00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:36.319 table, a rented you know, party store table, a patio table from 361 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:41.440 outside roughly the same dimension, but maybe it's a little bit wider, or 362 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.920 maybe it's a little narrower, maybe it's a little bit shorter. It's very 363 00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:49.200 very simple. There are these shims that you can buy, soft leveling shims. 364 00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:52.480 If your table doesn't have self leveling legs, and if it does, 365 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.400 then you put the two together and you level the one up until it reaches 366 00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.799 the level of the other. Get them level with the each other. But 367 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.759 don't worry, it's not the end. You may have a difference in with 368 00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:07.640 or just in general appearance. This is where we have a trick. Here 369 00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:12.319 at the house. We have two sheets of masonite. Masonite is kind of 370 00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:17.079 a everybody's seen it. It's very slick, it's about You can buy it 371 00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:21.599 an eighth or quarter inch thick sheets at the hardware, at the lumberyard, 372 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.079 at the lows. You can have them split in two so that they're easy 373 00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:32.440 to store. But masonite sheets can be cut to basically bridge over both tables. 374 00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:37.279 Cover both tabletops completely, all at the same level and the same with 375 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:42.680 Okay, so cover them both, and then your big tablecloth or series of 376 00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:49.799 tablecloths over all of it. And as people come in and look, all 377 00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:56.960 they see is one giant, even contiguous table. The tablecloth becomes very important 378 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:00.640 at this point. It really yeah, oh, the table cough is key 379 00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:04.960 because it's it's covering the whole show. It's covering the Yeah, yeah, 380 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.039 you do not don't stop with the masonite. They're like, well, this 381 00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.039 is fascinating what you've done to the table this year. Yeah, you want 382 00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:14.960 to hide everything, you want to hide all your tricks. But once you 383 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:17.680 do, uh, you've got a great spread in front of me. I 384 00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:21.319 love that idea. Yeah, it's those it's those little things that you don't 385 00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:22.480 think about that you go, oh, that just so makes sense. I 386 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:26.920 mean I've thought I use shims all the time, like for shelving and that 387 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.640 kind of stuff, but I never thought of using it another table. Okay, 388 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:34.279 So as we move into the big holiday and we're talking big, a 389 00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:40.599 lot of people are going big when we talk about blow up stuff. Oh 390 00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:42.279 yeah, this is the year. Well, well you noticed it with Halloween, 391 00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:48.960 right everybody was purchasing those fifteen foot tall skeletons from Home Depot or lows 392 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:53.599 and so everybody's just going big, big, big right now. Now, 393 00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:57.960 it's gonna be a pretty investment here. You're going to spend somewhere between seven 394 00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.240 and nine hundred dollars for this, but you can end up with these, 395 00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:06.480 I mean, giant inflatables. If you don't want to do any other decorating 396 00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:10.839 except this, If it's worth it, to you to decorate your entire house 397 00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:14.720 and be the show off in the neighborhood and only do it in like thirty 398 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.759 minutes. Yep. Then you buy a twenty eight foot tall inflatable Santa that 399 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.720 is like towering over your house. You could put it in the backyard and 400 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.880 he would be peeking over the roof. Okay, from perspective, I want 401 00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:30.079 to you have you sent me a picture, so you're talking about twenty eight 402 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:34.039 feet tall, So I'm looking at it and literally you can walk between his 403 00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:38.359 legs to the front door because he's that tall. Yes, he is that 404 00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:42.599 tall. I mean he is way way He's huge. He's twice the height 405 00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:47.680 of a one story house. Okay, yeah, and he's and he rivals 406 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:51.359 the ridge top of a of a two story hall. I mean he's huge. 407 00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:53.400 He's huge. It would be fun. You better stay came down really 408 00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.240 well too. Oh yeah, about eight or nine hundred bucks. Well you 409 00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.599 think about it, You're like, wow, that's expensive, and yet all 410 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.160 the money that we've spent on lights and this and this through the year's end, 411 00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.240 specifically, you know, you take him outside, you stake him down, 412 00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.200 you plug him in, and he's done. Half hour later, you're 413 00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:14.119 sitting inside and now you're the big show off in the neighborood. I love 414 00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:15.920 that. Okay, so we kind of don't have time to talk about trees, 415 00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.480 but I want to talk about one thing because this gets me every year. 416 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.920 I found the probably best Christmas tree stand I've ever had, and it 417 00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.839 makes putting my tree up easy, and you can put it up straight and 418 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.200 you don't have to screw the little things into the base. It's fabulous, 419 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:36.240 except the water reservoirs really small, and oh well that's always yeah, yeah, 420 00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:37.480 yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm so excited about By the way, 421 00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.279 I'm going to show this to you on Sunday when you come for the live 422 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:42.799 audience show, because I'm going to have it there to show everybody. I 423 00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:47.720 just think this is fantastic. I got one of these, the Ho Ho 424 00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:51.720 ho h two O tree filler. It is a resume. You know, 425 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.359 Filling a natural tree is a hassle, no matter how big it is because 426 00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:56.880 by the time you got presence underneath, you're like, how do you get 427 00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.880 to it? And in the past we've used like these law funnel things. 428 00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:05.000 There's all these gadgets. This is the best. It is a plug in 429 00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:09.400 electric pump reservoir that pumps water out of its own tank two and a half 430 00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:15.480 gallon tank into the Christmas tree. So that's cool enough. Okay. There's 431 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:19.240 a little sensor that you put in the bowl that detects when the water gets 432 00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:21.720 low, and then it pumps more water in. You don't have to worry 433 00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:24.000 about it for days and days and days. And when you refill it, 434 00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:27.920 you don't refill the bowl, You just refill the reservoir, which is sitting 435 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:31.000 off to the side. But the best thing is the whole thing comes disguised 436 00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:37.759 as a Christmas present, so it's sitting under the tree. Nobody knows that 437 00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.799 that's the tree filler. It looks beautiful and perfect and it's easy to get 438 00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:45.400 to, and it's got rain deer and Santa paper on it, and one 439 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:50.279 of the reindeer, the Rudolph, on top. When the reservoir gets low, 440 00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:53.519 his light his nose lights up. Read. I don't care how much 441 00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:57.960 this in costs. I'm getting it because crawling down on my hands and knees 442 00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:02.119 and putting in a cup of water at a time drives me bananas, exactly. 443 00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:06.200 And sometimes you spill it on presents. It's just a hassle and you 444 00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.880 knock over ornaments. It's you know, yeah, this is such a good 445 00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:14.119 idea. It's about ninety dollars, but it's got a great warranty. It's 446 00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.000 gonna last years and years and years. Okay, just have to find a 447 00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:20.039 place to start. Okay, So you mentioned that Sunday morning you're gonna have 448 00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:22.039 a live show, So let's talk about that before we let you go. 449 00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:28.400 Well, we're doing first one since before COVID.

All right, 464 00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:22.039 let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 465 00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:25.960 our newsroom. Relatives of three people killed in Riverside by a sheriff's deputy from 466 00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.920 Virginia are suing the department that hired him. The attorney for the Wayanak family 467 00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:34.239 says the twenty eight year old deputy, who posed online as a seventeen year 468 00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.800 old boy, drove from Virginia to Riverside to be with a fifteen year old 469 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:42.480 girl, and he murdered her mom and her grandparents. He set the house 470 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:45.239 on fire, and he fled with her and kidnapped her. David Ring says 471 00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:49.760 the deputy ended up killing himself during a shootout with deputies from the San Bernardino 472 00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:53.280 County Shares Department. Ring says agencies in Virginia have refused to give answers about 473 00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:57.719 the deputy. Officials did admit the deputy should have never been hired because of 474 00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:01.360 his mental health history. Steve Gregory Ie News. A state appeals court in 475 00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:07.199 New York has temporarily lifted a gag order against former President Trump, who was 476 00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:10.440 barred from publicly commenting on court staff in a civil trial against him, and 477 00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:15.800 a palette judge yesterday raised concerns over free speech. The ruling also disputed the 478 00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:21.800 trial judges claim that restricting Trump's speech was necessary to protect his staff's safety. 479 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.920 Amazon customers can start adding cars to their carts next year.

Let's say good morning to ABC's Jason Nathans, 499 00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:52.119 and Jason made the odds be ever in your favor. Oh, thank 500 00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:58.000 you very much. And that is a hunger Games reference because The Hunger Games 501 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.199 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is up there this weekend. That is the 502 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:06.039 preview or the prequel to the original series, which came out the first film, 503 00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:08.400 by the way, ten years ago this month, and made Jennifer Lawrence 504 00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:15.000 a start. It wasn't her first thing. Winter's Bone was her first movie 505 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:20.679 that people like really knew her for. And then she was on I forget 506 00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:24.920 the name of the sitcom, but she was on a sitcom for a little 507 00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:30.440 bit, so she wasn't a household name. This Hunger Games made her a 508 00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:34.000 household name. And then of course she went on too Oscars and everything, 509 00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:37.599 and you know, she fell into our hearts. But this is the So 510 00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:42.840 this takes place sixty four years before we meet her character Cat and has Evererdeen, 511 00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:45.280 so it has nothing to do with her character. This is all about 512 00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:50.280 the President Snow character who was played by Donald Sutherland in the movies, and 513 00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:53.679 he's played by Tom Blythe here as a don't know, seventeen eighteen year old 514 00:37:54.280 --> 00:38:00.440 who is in school, kind of finishing school at the Capitol, and the 515 00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:02.760 Hunger Games themselves. I think we're about ten years in so it's not an 516 00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:07.159 origin story to the Hunger Games necessarily, but an origin story to President Snow 517 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:15.920 and where he started. And then in this version, unlike the original trilogy 518 00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:21.280 or for films, everybody from the district who is in the Hunger Games they 519 00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:23.519 get a mentor. So that's where you have Snow, who is a mentor 520 00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:29.880 now to Rachel Zegler's character, who is a tribute from District twelve. And 521 00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:31.320 that's where things kind of go from there. And if you're a fan of 522 00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:35.480 the Hunger Games, you learn about origin story stuff which you might have read 523 00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:37.599 if this is based on a book as well, so you might have read 524 00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:40.880 this, or you might not have, but I didn't, and so I 525 00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.159 got, you know, I get some backstory to the Hunger Games themselves, 526 00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:50.199 a new ish version of the Hunger Games, and I really I kind of 527 00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:52.440 like that for the first two hours. Then it goes on for another forty 528 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:57.280 five minutes. Oh too long? Huh A little bit. Yeah, I 529 00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:01.639 wasn't so much interested in what happened after. And there's a very there's a 530 00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:07.679 clear demarcation of where this movie kind of shifts into the next part of it. 531 00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:12.159 The next part of it I think maybe could have been part of the 532 00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:15.760 next film, and I think there's the plans are for a sequel here, 533 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:19.440 although we'll see how it does this weekend. It's it's gonna win the weekend. 534 00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:22.639 It's expected to make around fifty million dollars, but each of the first 535 00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:28.599 four films opened to well over one hundred million dollars. I think the first 536 00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:30.440 film was like one hundred and fifty million in its debut. So this is 537 00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:35.679 quite different from ten years ago. And you didn't read the books, right 538 00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.199 I read the original Triokgy, Yeah, I read. In fact, I'm 539 00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:43.239 rereading Snakes and Songbirds right now because I know the book's always better than the 540 00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:45.760 movie, so I'm reading that to go into it. Gotcha, And I 541 00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:50.400 think, you know, I think they the plan here was when I talked 542 00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:52.480 to the filmmakers that they wanted to make a movie that would stand on its 543 00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:55.480 own if you had not read the books, or you hadn't even seen the 544 00:39:55.480 --> 00:40:00.920 original trilogy, which because this is a prequel, and do that. But 545 00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:05.519 I also think there's a lot in here, a lot of Easter eggs, 546 00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:08.000 and you know, things that if you're a fan of the franchise, you 547 00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:12.480 know stuff that I did not remember from the first time around that they get 548 00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:15.800 into relationships and things like that and how they formed, so you know, 549 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:20.679 there's interesting stuff. All right, Well you've convinced men, I'm gonna go 550 00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:22.679 see it. Okay, good. I think it's worth seeing if you're a 551 00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:28.400 fan, if you really liked the books and the first films. Okay. 552 00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:30.480 And we of course are out of time, which I hate. We never 553 00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:32.599 have enough time to talk to you, Jason. But it is Thanksgiving weekend 554 00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:37.599 and if you want to be horrified, go see Thanksgiving. A new horror 555 00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:39.559 film from Eli Roth, which is a lot of fun. Is fun. 556 00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:45.960 I'm not a huge horror movie fan. This is a very nostalgic eighties feeling. 557 00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:47.760 You know, you got a bunch of kids trying to solve mystery, 558 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:50.800 you know, a bunch of high school kids trying to solve a mystery, 559 00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:53.800 and they're getting picked off one by one. The kills are gruesome. This 560 00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:58.840 is from Eli Roth, who originally made this as a trailer for the film 561 00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:04.159 Grindhouse in two thousand and seven. This was a fake movie trailer that they 562 00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:07.239 made and people for years asked them, well, whond are you actually going 563 00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:09.400 to make the actual movie? And so that's what we have now okay, 564 00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:14.320 perfect lead into the holidays, right and nicely threw some horror movie hundred percent 565 00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:15.960 all right, Jason Nathanson, thanks so much.
