00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839
You're listening to KFI AM six forty
wake Up Call with Me Amy King on

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:13.759
demand on the iHeartRadio app kf I
and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:34.159
County to get you Amy Kay.
It is five o'clock on your wake up

4
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:39.560
call. It's Monday, December fourth. I'm Amy King. Thanks for starting

5
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:44.399
your day and your work week with
us. Four more mondays till Christmas.

6
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:50.759
Right. I got my Christmas tree
this weekend. Saturday was supposed to be

7
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.920
the busiest day for getting Christmas trees
of the whole year, and of course

8
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.719
that's the day we went to get
it. And one hundred and eighty dollars

9
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:04.519
later. I know Kano's face,
just look one eighty They had five to

10
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:10.560
six foot trees were one hundred and
thirty five and six to seven foot trees

11
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:15.079
were one fifty five plus tax plus
then you know you need to get the

12
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.760
bag to get rid of it at
the end. Oh then plus a twenty

13
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.079
dollars tip, So it was more
like two hundred dollars. I know,

14
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:30.560
unbelievable. They said that tree prices
were up ten percent this year. That's

15
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.359
a lot more than I spent.
And I almost didn't do it. I

16
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.680
thought, do I really need a
tree and I don't have room to get

17
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:42.040
it? Well, I'm I am
not an artificial tree person, so I

18
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.000
knew that wasn't going to be an
option. But I was just like,

19
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.159
Oh, that's a lot of money
for a tree. I'm sorry, I'm

20
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.120
gonna sat looking at three to four
foot trees. Those prices, you could

21
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.640
get a little teeny try. Yeah, they had two and three foot trees

22
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.799
for fifty bucks. Anyway, the
house looks beautiful and the decorating process will

23
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.680
now begin. It is a process. It takes me a couple of days.

24
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.520
Here's what's ahead on wake up call. Israel's military has called for mass

25
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:14.840
evacuations in the southern Gaza strip in
the town of Communists. Tens of thousands

26
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:19.400
of people have sought refuge there in
recent weeks. The Israeli army bombarded about

27
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.240
two hundred hamas targets in Gaza in
the last twenty four hours. A thirty

28
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.960
three year old man Polis Say,
killed three homeless men in four days around

29
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.280
La has been arrested and charged with
murder. The guy was already in jail

30
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:35.919
in connection with that follow home murder
of a man in his garage in San

31
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.719
Deimus last week. Cal Poly Pomona
faculty will walk off the job today.

32
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.400
It's a one day strike, part
of a limited strike in the cal State

33
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.719
system as the union fights for a
twelve percent pay increase, among other things.

34
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.280
Cal State says it can't afford that
big a jump in pay. Faculty

35
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.479
at cal State LA will walk out
for one day on Wednesday. Let's get

36
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.719
started with some of the stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

37
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.120
A man has been shot to death
at a gas station in the Vermont

38
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.960
Knowles area of LA. The station
is at the corner of Hoover Street and

39
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.800
Manchester Avenue. Security video shows two
people drive up to the man's car late

40
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:13.719
last night. They got out,
shot him several times, then drove away.

41
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.599
Smash and grab robbers have hit a
store in the Santa Anita Mall in

42
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:22.840
Arcadia. Police say four guys in
hoodies and masks used hammers yesterday to smash

43
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:27.199
display cases at the Rebag store.
It's a high end resale store. Some

44
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.759
people in the mall say they thought
the noise was from gunshots. The thieves

45
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.280
grabbed wallets, watches, and purses
and drove off in a white Infinity Sedan.

46
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.080
The Israeli defense forces are now fighting
in every part of Gaza. Operations

47
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:45.800
have expanded as Israel targets Hamas leaders. ABC's Tom Sufi Burridge tells Or says

48
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.840
that Israel has been criticized over the
high number of civilian deaths. Israel,

49
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:55.560
promising it will make the maximum effort
to safeguard Gaza's civilian population. Israel's militaries

50
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.599
called for more evacuations in southern Gaza. The Help Ministry in Gaza, which

51
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.479
is run by Hamas, says the
death toll in the territory's topped fifteen thousand

52
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.960
since October seventh, when Hamas attacked
Israel, but they do not differentiate between

53
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.399
civilian and militant deaths. A former
American diplomat who served as US ambassador to

54
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.040
Bolivia has been arrested in Florida.
Manuel Rocha is accused of serving as an

55
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.720
agent of Cuba. He was arrested
Friday. Prosecutors are expected to give us

56
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:34.560
some more details about that today.
If Queen Bee reigns at the box office,

57
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.600
Renaissance, a film by Beyonce,
opened in first place this weekend.

58
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.959
It earned twenty one million dollars.
AMC Theaters thanked Beyonce for taking the film

59
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.399
directly to her fans, saying to
see it do so well on a weekend

60
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:53.000
that's notoriously slow as a testament to
her immense talent. It's the first time

61
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.519
a film has opened with more than
twenty million dollars in ticket sales during the

62
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.519
first weekend of December in twenty years. Now, let's say good morning to

63
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:06.680
ABC's Tom Rivers. Hey, Tom, HOOTI rebels have said that they're the

64
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:10.839
ones behind the attacks on some ships
in the Red Sea. Can you tell

65
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.360
us what happened over the weekend?
Yeap, very much so. We had

66
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.120
American assets in that part of the
world. In the Red Sea, the

67
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:23.839
USS Carney coming to the aid of
one of three bulk carriers that came under

68
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:29.879
attack in these missile attacks, and
none of them were serious and no injuries.

69
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:35.439
All the crews are accounted for.
But the Carnee came alongside one of

70
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:41.800
the ships, a Unity Explorer,
which is flagged in the Bahamas, and

71
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:47.000
at that point they knocked down the
USS Carney knocked down three drones that came

72
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.720
in the vicinity. So yes,
tensions are rising in that part of the

73
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:57.279
world. Two other bulk carriers as
well. Kin kind of we're in the

74
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.680
area and missiles are directed it in
their direction. Put it that way,

75
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:08.079
Panamanian flagged carriers number nine and Sophie. That's two. So yes, it's

76
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.319
it's pretty tense right now. Where
is this in go? The US doesn't

77
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.560
want escalation, but we have assets
there. Uh. And of course the

78
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:23.720
war grinds on in Gaza today,
the rhetoric increasing, the president of Turkey

79
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:30.560
and Istanbul saying that Netan Yahoo should
be tried in a criminal court for war

80
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.079
crimes, just as Molossovitch did in
Bosnia. So that kind of shows you

81
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:40.959
the temperature of some of the countries
surrounding Israel. Uh. And unless tensions

82
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.439
are diffused one way or another,
this thing's boiling up and getting stronger and

83
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:50.120
stronger. Okay, Tom, tell
us you said that the US carney is

84
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.720
there, or the USS karney is
there. But the carney wasn't actually attacked,

85
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.879
right, It was the other ships
corrected and these three that had not

86
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.680
down these drones, they're saying it
was in their direction. Now, was

87
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:08.680
going for for instance, the Unity
Explorer? Was it going for the destroyer?

88
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:14.160
You can't tell. But again the
bottom line is at this stage,

89
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.879
no major real problems. But again, what could happen next time, We

90
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:24.199
don't know, So that's the worrying
concern. Okay, And the Carnie knocked

91
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.959
down the drones, so did they
hit anything? No, no, okay,

92
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.279
the drones were disabled. Okay.
And the ships that were targeted or

93
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:36.920
where the drones were headed in that
general direction, what's on those ships,

94
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:40.800
Well, we don't got the bull
carriers, so we don't know. If

95
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:45.279
it was things like iron ore,
we don't really know. But again it's

96
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.120
it's something that you know, you
got to watch closely. And that's a

97
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:55.160
very very as you well know,
a very very important shipping route. And

98
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.759
you know, if the Huti's want
to want to create problems in that part

99
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.560
of the world, they're going nowhere. So that means you might have to

100
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:09.120
reposition more naval assets down the road, rotate them in and out. And

101
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.399
for a variety of reasons, you
know, you're already supplying weaponry to Ukraine.

102
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.199
You've got to course your eyes on
the South China Sea, three troubled

103
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.120
areas in the world. For that
very reason, the US doesn't want anything

104
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.319
escalating in that part of the world. Right. And then just for clarification,

105
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:30.560
the Hootie rebels are backed by her
Irans, so they're like the Iran

106
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.919
proxy, so Iran can't doesn't have
to say, oh, yeah, we're

107
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.320
doing this right, Well, Satis
are doing it. You know how long

108
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:43.399
of the American has been and the
UK been supplying bombs to Saudi Arabia in

109
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:50.279
Yemen many many years, and they're
they're dropping on the Houties and the civilians

110
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:56.000
in Yemen. So there's absolutely zero
love loss between the Hooties and they see

111
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:01.039
his American targets in the Red Sea. Okay, wow, this is just

112
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.799
all It's crazy. And is the
US expected to retaliate for this one?

113
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:13.519
I know that like US US facilities
have been targeted like more than seventy times

114
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.919
since this whole thing started. Are
we expected to respond to this one?

115
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:24.080
Well, they're trying to downplay the
Pentagon because they don't want escalation. They're

116
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.519
spread pretty thin right now, as
I say, in three locations around the

117
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.399
world. But they're saying, you
know, in consultation with the allies,

118
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:37.200
we may take appropriate action. So
you know, take that as a threat

119
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.639
to Tehran or take that as a
form of saying, for now, we're

120
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.879
not going to do anything, you
know, at this stage. Again,

121
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.919
this one came off without any real
major major issues, but the next one

122
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.480
could be much more severe and then
action will by definition have to be taken.

123
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.279
Yeah, it's just this very slippery
slope that we're walking and I just

124
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.440
can't even image and having to make
those decisions on do we fight back,

125
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.440
do we sit and wait until something
happens? Well, and who's taking this?

126
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.120
Is Biden taking the decisions? I
don't know. Is it the Pentagon,

127
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.360
is it the State Department? Is
it the National Security Council. That's

128
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.840
the last time Biden talked about this. That's a good point, all right,

129
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.200
ABC's Tom Rivers will be watching.
Thank you so much for your information.

130
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.519
Take care, appreciate it. Let's
get back to some of the stories

131
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.039
coming out of the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. The bodies of two people

132
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.120
have been found inside a burned house
in Silmar, La. Fires is a

133
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:37.840
fire early yesterday overheated ammunition in the
home, which triggered explosions. This neighbor

134
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.399
says it sounded like someone was shooting
off a gun. Well, it's sleeping

135
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.360
and then all of a sudden,
you're like, bang bang bang bang.

136
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.840
Bank. I realized that someone's shooting
because you could hear it and you could

137
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:50.200
hear the like there's like time in
between like shots. Several automatic weapons and

138
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.399
a rifle were found inside the house. The body of a dog was also

139
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.519
found. The bus strike in Santa
Clarita is over. Buses are back on

140
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.200
the streets. Is drivers, dispatchers, and others are presented by the Teamsters

141
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.600
overwhelmingly approved a new contract. The
strike was on for about two months,

142
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.120
actually more than two months. The
union says it includes significant wage and training

143
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:16.519
premium increases and protects health coverage without
additional out of pocket expenses. Texas Governor

144
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.639
Greg Abbott says his state will file
another appeal in the fight over buoys on

145
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:26.559
the Rio Grande meant to prevent illegal
immigration. ABC's Jim Ryan says an appeals

146
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.080
court last week ordered Texas to remove
the buoys, which were installed without permission

147
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.159
from the FEDS. That comes days
after a separate court allowed federal agents legally

148
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.639
to cut sections of the razor wire
that Taxes has unrolled across long stretches of

149
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.440
its border with Mexico. Governor Abbott
says the appeals court used an outdated law

150
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.480
when it upheld the ruling regarding the
buoys. Four people, including two kids,

151
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.279
have been shot and killed or actually
been fatally stabbed in Queens, New

152
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:58.440
York. NYPD Chief Jeff Madri says
two officers were also stabbed yesterday, but

153
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.159
they survived. Mail draws a knife
on offices. She stabs one officer in

154
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:09.320
the neck chess area. She strikes
the second officer in the head. Matters

155
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.519
says the officers were the first to
respond to a nine to one one call

156
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.879
from a woman who said her cousin
was killing her family. He says the

157
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.960
man stabbed everyone in the house,
including a fifth person who's in critical condition,

158
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.799
before setting the couch on fire.
One of the officers shot and killed

159
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:30.480
the man. Florida Governor and presidential
candidate Ron Desanta says he'll announce his new

160
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:35.240
healthcare plan soon, probably in the
spring. We'll roll out a big proposal.

161
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.440
I've got a lot of input that's
been coming in from a lot of

162
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.159
good people around the country. He
says. He plans to replace President Obama's

163
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.000
healthcare plan with a better one,
Obamacare promise, lower premiums, that didn't

164
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.960
deliver that we know we need to
go in a different direction. Desanta says

165
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.679
he will focus on lowering prices and
protecting people with pre existing conditions, so

166
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.600
as we head into the holiday season, we're kind of in full force of

167
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.399
it right now. One of the
things I went and did this weekend,

168
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.679
which was really fun, is I
went to a couple of different holiday markets.

169
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.879
The first one we went to was
the Harvest Festival out of Pomona Fairplex.

170
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.279
Haven't gone to that one since before
the pandemic, and then after the

171
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.840
pandemic, I think it was shut
down, so it's reopened and that was

172
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.120
a lot of fun. Unfortunately it
was just last weekend, so you can't

173
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.679
go to that one. And then
also we went to Unique La at the

174
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:30.360
California Market Center, which is in
downtown, and that was also very cool,

175
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.320
very spindy, but there were some
really cool, unique gifts, and

176
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.879
so I was thinking, if you
know, if you want to you have

177
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.279
somebody on your list and you're not
sure what you want to get them,

178
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.240
but you want to get them something
interesting and unique, you might find it

179
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.480
at one of these holiday markets.
I found the coolest thing for my brother

180
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.039
and can't tell you what it is
because well, in the event that he's

181
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.200
listening right now, I don't want
to spoil Christmas. So but those two

182
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.399
were just for one weekend, so
they're not ongoing. But there are lots

183
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.279
of holiday markets coming up, and
of course who would know better about everything

184
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.120
going on then the guy who has
a show called This Weekend with Nick or

185
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.600
a segment called This Weekend with Nick
on later with Mo Kelly, and that's

186
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.639
Nick Pauliochini. So Nick, we
have a couple more coming up this weekend.

187
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.360
Yeah, we do. In fact, what's even cooler is there's always

188
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.440
been Sugar Plumb and it was in
Buyna Park until recently. It just moved

189
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:22.120
over to Westminster Mall, just off
the four h five. But they had

190
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.960
their Hanukkah Christmas New Year's Market on
the twenty ninth of November through December second,

191
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:31.279
so pretty much last week, but
starting to Wednesday, it will actually

192
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.159
be the sixth through the seventeenth of
this month that you can check out their

193
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.919
Christmas store, so that's over at
Westminster Mall. You can also go to

194
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.759
Patchwork Show, which is one of
my favorites. They're usually in Long Beach.

195
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.159
They already did their show for Long
Beach for the holiday season, but

196
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.039
they are in sam Pedro this weekend, so that's another opportunity for you to

197
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.919
check out Crafted at the Port of
Los Angeles is where you can go for

198
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.559
that, Okay. And then the
final one is Burbank Jacko Loobe. Burbank

199
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:01.320
will be happening this weekend and that
is another really cool indie festival happening both

200
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.519
days Level five. Yeah, Jacko
Loobe, it's really really fun. And

201
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.039
knowing it's two ladies that started it
out, they have festivals around the country

202
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.879
and they really love being in Pasadena
and Burbank as well as in the Southland.

203
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.960
So all three of those are totally
worth your time. On top of

204
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.919
Unique La which already passed as you
said, and yeah, some Harves's festival.

205
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:24.799
It's really cool to be back.
And do you have that up on

206
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.919
your Instagram? I will put it
up on my Instagram here in a little

207
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.960
bit. Okay. So that's this
weekend with Nick, and he's got lists

208
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.679
of all the cool things that are
going on. So that's just a few

209
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.279
of them. Thanks so much.
Nick. The Iranian mac Hoothies have claimed

210
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:45.399
responsibility for attacks on three commercial ships
in the Red Sea. The USS Carnee

211
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:50.159
shot down several drones that officials say
were launched from Houti controlled parts of Yemen.

212
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.600
Residents of Conyunis say they heard air
strikes and explosions in and around the

213
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:02.639
city overnight after the Israeli military dropped
leaflets warning people to relocate farther south towards

214
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:06.120
the border with Egypt. A lot
of Palestinians have ignored the calls to move

215
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.519
out, saying they don't feel any
safer in other areas. Actor Michael B.

216
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.039
Jordan has crashed his Ferrari into a
parked car in Hollywood. The crash

217
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:17.240
happened late Saturday night. Police the
crash was not DUI related. At six

218
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.559
oh five it's handled on the news. The sag After contract is about to

219
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.559
become official, but not everyone loves
the new deal. Right now, let's

220
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:29.720
say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim, you'd think his companies made

221
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:33.240
advancements in technology that sell service would
get better, but apparently that's not the

222
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.840
case. Well, technology is one
thing, but growing populations, more people

223
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:42.159
jumping on to the band with the
limited band with amy, the less reliable.

224
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.960
It all becomes JD Power has taken
a look at this, finding that

225
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.679
this year, eleven times out of
one hundred when you tried to make a

226
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:53.519
phone call or send a text or
stream data or something you couldn't get through.

227
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.240
At least not on the first time. Just a couple of years ago

228
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.639
the number was nine out of one
hundred. So it's going up. In

229
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.079
other words, reliability is getting lower
still. I mean, in ninety percent

230
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.799
is pretty good, right, But
when you make a call, you expect

231
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:14.279
that call to go through. It's
the fault or the result of a lot

232
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.799
of things, including population growth and
the inability of companies to keep up with

233
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:26.240
cell tower construction and bandwidth purchases and
band with purchases. So there's more and

234
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.039
more people loading onto the existing cell
towers, and they're not making them fast

235
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.599
enough, right, right, And
part of this goes into Nimby right.

236
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.039
Not in my backyard, yep.
You ever seen a cell tower there,

237
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.039
ugly and the efforts to try to
camouflage them or try to disguise them to

238
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.039
look like pine trees, they don't
really work. I mean, it doesn't

239
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:49.160
the cell tower works. But here's
a weird seventy foot pine tree standing in

240
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.240
the middle of no where you can
kind of guess what it is. Yeah,

241
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.839
we have palm trees in California.
Yeah, exactly, and you know

242
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.039
so right. I mean, it's
a lot of things that play into this,

243
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.359
but this the the bandwidth, its
issue is one that isn't going away,

244
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:04.480
and in fact, it may get
worse. In the same way that

245
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:10.160
Los Angeles has a certain number of
AM radio stations, let's say, because

246
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:14.599
there's a certain space within the bandwidth
that a certain number of radio stations can

247
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.960
occupy. The same is true with
the cell companies, the providers. Verizon

248
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:23.240
has a certain segment at and T
has a certain segment, Sprint has you

249
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:27.920
know, the companies have their own
allocated segments. And if your company hasn't

250
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:33.319
purchased enough bandwidth beating on it from
the federal government, then you could be

251
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.279
out of lock. Okay, And
is it you mentioned a few of the

252
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:40.160
carriers. Is it pretty much across
all carriers or is there one that's worse

253
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:44.839
than the others? Well, Verizon
kind of held behind because they thought,

254
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.720
you know what, we don't need
to purchase this bandwidth in this particular spectrum,

255
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.400
at the high range spectrum, the
high frequency, so they say,

256
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.319
yeah, we'll just concentrate on building
more towers and deal with our lower frequency

257
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:02.000
situation. Well, now they're having
to pay like sixty billion dollars to try

258
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:07.240
to catch out fifty three billion dollars
to build this midband spectrum back up that

259
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.640
they kind of let fall by the
wayside. So now they're all the companies

260
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:15.400
that are having issues. Individual companies
have different issues. Okay, And are

261
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:19.039
there any indications that the companies are
actively working to fix itators just something that

262
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.519
we're going to have to get used
to. Well, they are. They

263
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.640
are trying to build more cell towers. They are trying to camouflage the cell

264
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:30.400
towers, for example, putting them
up where they can and making these bandwidth

265
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.880
purchases. What can consumers do well, not a lot, rely, as

266
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:40.039
much as you can on Wi Fi
in your home and in your office instead

267
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:44.000
of using your cellular data, because
that's going to be a much more reliable

268
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.359
way to get through and if you're
home, if you're in an and by

269
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:52.240
the way, in the same way
that AM frequency doesn't get through big thick

270
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.000
walls, well, some cell band
doesn't get through thick walls either, so

271
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.680
you may have to put a mesh
situation or you know, or built out

272
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.559
a sort of mesh network within your
house just to ensure that you do get

273
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.480
coverage. All right, Well,
it sounds like one of those things where

274
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.599
we get to say thank you,
sir, May I have another bye some

275
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:12.440
more? All right, Jim Ryan, thank you so much for the information.

276
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.480
Have a great day. Let's get
back to some of the stories coming

277
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.720
out of the KFI twenty four hour
news from the LAPD says a guy who

278
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:25.240
killed three homeless man was already in
custody for a fatal follow home robbery in

279
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.640
San Dimas. See Moore says,
Jared Powell was arrested by Beverly Hills PD

280
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:32.960
during a traffic stop and while detained, investigators connected the dots between Powell's car,

281
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.440
the scene in San Dimas and the
three separate scenes in La Bar was

282
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.079
one of the elements that brought together. And but I really think what brought

283
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:45.279
together was the use of the aggressive
work of the homicide detectives within the Sheriff's

284
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.799
department. More said over the weekend, Powell killed a homeless man last Sunday,

285
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.559
than one on Monday, another on
Wednesday. And it appears Powell killed

286
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.079
Nick Simbolin in San Dimas on Tuesday. Steve Gregory tayaf I News is brought

287
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:03.519
to you by Ruder Hero. Faculty
members at cal Poly Pomona are expected to

288
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.839
hold a one day strike. Similar
strikes are set for this week at San

289
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.480
Francisco State, cal State LA on
Wednesday, and Sacramento State University. The

290
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:17.240
California Faculty Association said in a statement
last week they're fighting for twelve percent wage

291
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:22.240
hikes this academic gear, plus other
concessions including better parental leave, workload support,

292
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.559
and health and safety rights. The
cal State system says it's ready to

293
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.960
meet some of the union's demands,
but the twelve percent general salary increase is

294
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:41.119
not sustainable. Space a final Frontier
a rocket is getting ready to launch with

295
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:48.920
some precious cargo. This is a
very interesting story to me. So they're

296
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:53.000
going to be launching the Vulcan Centaur
rocket. It's scheduled to lift off from

297
00:21:53.039 --> 00:22:00.200
Cape Canaveral on December twenty fourth,
and on board the rocket will be the

298
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.920
remains in DNA samples of three hundred
and thirty eight people, including some members

299
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:10.880
of the original Star Trek TV series. So they started doing these flights like

300
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:15.319
in nineteen ninety seven, and you
might remember that the first mission had Star

301
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.079
Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, or at
least a little tiny bit of his remains

302
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:25.240
on board. So now they take
these little mini capsules and they range in

303
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:29.319
size from like a lipstick container to
about a half a watch battery, so

304
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.519
some of them can be pretty small, and they attach them to commercial space

305
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:37.759
space flights that have some extra room
or extra capacity available. So Celestis is

306
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:44.880
the company, and this latest rocket
launch is going to have the remains of

307
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:52.400
Michelle Nichols, Lieutenant O'Hara, DeForest
Kelly, doctor Leonard Bones McCoy, and

308
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:59.480
James Douhan Scotty from the original Star
Trek series. Costs to be rocketed into

309
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:03.400
space run up to thirteen thousand dollars
for a lunar landing or a deep space

310
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.960
launch. So apparently it's going to
go out into space like one hundred million

311
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.319
miles in orbit around the Sun.
But before it gets to deep space,

312
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.759
it's going to drop off a lunar
lander that's going to be doing studies of

313
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:21.319
the Moon, and seventy of the
capsules will be on that lander, so

314
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.400
you could look up in the sky
and say, look, part of my

315
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.920
grandma is there. I just think
it's kind of fun and cool. Israel's

316
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:33.039
military is called for mass evacuations in
the southern Gaza Strip town of Conunis.

317
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.920
Tens of thousands have sought refuge there
in recent weeks. The Israeli army bombarded

318
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:42.359
up to two hundred AMAS targets in
Gaza in the last twenty four hours.

319
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:48.079
We're going to talk to me to
ABC's Jordana Miller in just one moment with

320
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.759
more about this. A thirty three
year old man police say killed three homeless

321
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:53.799
men in four days around La has
been arrested and charged with murder. The

322
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:57.279
guy was already in jail in connection
with that follow home murder of a man

323
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:02.839
in his garage and San Dimas last
week. The state's twenty nine water agencies

324
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.920
are only going to get ten percent
of the water they requested. The Department

325
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:10.599
of Water Resources says if more storms
arrived this winter, that number could go

326
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:14.279
up. Very little snow and rain
has fallen in the last couple of months,

327
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:17.759
but most reservoirs in the state are
still above average for this time of

328
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:19.720
year at six oh five. It's
handled on the news. Police didn't have

329
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:22.599
to look too far for the man
accused of killing three homeless men in four

330
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.960
days. As I just mentioned,
he was already behind bars. Bill's going

331
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:29.680
to take a closer look at that. Right now, let's say good morning

332
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:34.319
to ABC's Geordana Miller. Jordana,
some of the money requested by the administration

333
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:41.680
would go back to Oh, that
doesn't make sense, old, I was

334
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:44.400
going to say, the Biden administration, and we're going to be talking to

335
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:49.960
Karen Travers about that military aid package
and some of that money is going to

336
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.920
Israel's war if it gets past.
But the fighting is going full force again,

337
00:24:53.960 --> 00:25:00.000
so can you tell us the latest
on that. That's right, Israel's

338
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:07.480
war has moved now from the north
down to the south. Hanyunis is a

339
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:14.039
major Hama stronghold, and Israel is
turning its focus there today for a second

340
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:18.720
day in a row, in tense
air strikes in Hanyunis, as well as

341
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.799
tanks and troops moving closer to the
city. There still are some fights going

342
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:30.000
on in central Gaza, so we
don't expect a large ground defensive in Honyunas

343
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:36.559
for several more days. But it's
clear Israel is headed there and complicating the

344
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:44.839
battlefield for Israel militarily morally are the
one point eight million Gazans who are in

345
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:49.640
southern Gaza, not necessarily in Hanyunis, but to the east, to the

346
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:53.839
north, to the south, closer
to the Rafa border crossing. They've been

347
00:25:55.000 --> 00:26:00.200
in these areas, taking well in
safer places, we could say, not

348
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:07.119
completely safe places, and half of
that one point eight million moved south because

349
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:11.960
Israel asked them to and said it
would be safe. So Israel now will

350
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.440
face a great challenge in trying to
protect these civilians to the best of its

351
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:21.680
ability while it wages war against Hamas. That may mean. We will see

352
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:26.920
in the coming days some safe zones
carved out, true safe zones where there

353
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:33.559
will be no bombing campaigns, and
several of them four gossens. That's just

354
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.279
so scary because they said, you
know, move here and you'll be okay.

355
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:42.039
But now as the war, you
know, shifts, we also heard

356
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:48.000
that some of the Palestinians are saying
they they're not leaving because they don't feel

357
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.799
any safer leaving where they are right
well, that is you know, one

358
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:59.039
of the realities on the ground,
which is that people are so terrified that

359
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.240
you know, they're asked to move
it maybe the second or third or fourth

360
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:04.799
time they're moving, and they don't
want to move because they're afraid they'll die

361
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:11.519
when they move. Yeah, so
you know that's understandable. Israel has put

362
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:21.279
out online and even in leaflets a
barcode to a very detailed interactive map where

363
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:25.759
it says it's going to light up
certain areas on this map when it's coming

364
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:30.519
to those areas to operate and for
people to move to move out. You

365
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.160
know, I don't think any army's
ever done that before in a war.

366
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:41.799
But you know, there's still some
questions about how effective it'll be because some

367
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.720
people will be too afraid to do
it. It's what we saw happen at

368
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.440
the Al Shifa hospital, which was
for days. There were fights going on

369
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:53.920
around the hospital and people were afraid
to evacuate. Yeah. And then the

370
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:59.319
other the flip side of it is
once the war is over, I mean

371
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:02.599
Israel's pounding the crap out of these
places. Where are they going to have

372
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:06.680
to go back to? Well,
I mean the goads of Strip's going to

373
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:11.880
have to be entirely rebuilteh with you
know, money from regional leaders, the

374
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:17.759
un likely, the United States.
I mean it's we have to remember Hamas

375
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:23.720
built, They had sixteen years to
build terror infrastructure all throughout the Gauzza Strip

376
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:30.519
underground. I mean there's you know, tunnel networks and weapon cachets and you

377
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:37.799
know, dormitories underground, sweeping quarters, kitchens. You know, it's a

378
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.799
it is a city under a city, and there's going to be to get

379
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:47.559
Hamas and push them out of the
gads of Strip. There's going to be

380
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:51.279
it's going to leave the gods of
Strip and level Okay, most of it.

381
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:53.680
Yeah, all right, Jordana,
thank you so much for the update

382
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:59.440
this morning, and we'll talk to
you again soon. Yep, let's get

383
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:00.960
back to some of the story's coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour news

384
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.599
room. Mayor Bass is going on
a week long tour of La It's mark

385
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.839
her first anniversary of her inauguration.
She's going to be holding events to highlight

386
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:15.160
her work on homelessness, safety,
business climate, and city services. And

387
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:21.000
Orange County supervisor has defended himself against
ethics allegations related to his daughter's work with

388
00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:25.160
a nonprofit. Ornge County approved one
point two million dollars in grants to the

389
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:30.680
Via American Society. Critics claim Supervisor
Andrew Doe should have disclosed that his daughter

390
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.240
has volunteered for and been on the
payroll for the Huntington Beach based nonprofit,

391
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:40.160
but Do says County council advised him
disclosing was unnecessary. Plus, neither he

392
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:44.039
nor his daughter benefit as a result
of the contract, and Do says,

393
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:48.079
most importantly, it's a subcontract,
which means it does not require a vote

394
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:52.680
from Doe or the board. In
Orange County, Corbin Carson KFI News as

395
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:56.119
we were just talking with Jordana about
Israel's going full force again in its war

396
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:03.960
against Tamas. Israeli officials to confirm
negotiation efforts with Hamas have completely stopped.

397
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:10.079
US National Security Council spokesman John Kirbys's
President Biden hasn't give up given up on

398
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:12.960
a two state solution as the fighting
between Israel and Hamas continues. What we

399
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:18.279
want to see is a reformed PA
or revitalized Palestinian authority that can have a

400
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:25.079
voice and some measure of control over
governance in Gaza. Kirby says there needs

401
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:29.519
to be discussions on how the area
is governed and if it represents the will

402
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:33.200
of the Palestinian people. He says, there still are about one hundred and

403
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:38.519
forty hostages in Gaza, including eight
Americans. So Pastathon has come and gone,

404
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:42.559
but you can still donate. I
love this. So Wendy's said that

405
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:48.039
they're just getting a really great response, and we thank Wendy's so much for

406
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:52.480
stepping up and helping us out with
Pastathon. They're going to extend their donations

407
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.920
for Postathon through the tenth of the
month, so you have until this Sunday

408
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.599
if you'd like to contribute to Pastathon. Remember it goes to fe the kids.

409
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:06.319
Chef Bruno and Katerina's club feed twenty
five thousand kids a week and from

410
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:10.079
Postathon. Right now we are at
one million, two hundred and thirty nine

411
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:12.720
thousand, eight hundred and ninety four
dollars, So thank you so much for

412
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:15.319
your donations. If you can spare
a little more, we'd love to have

413
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:21.440
it. Also eighty one thousand and
eighty five pounds of pasta. That's amazing.

414
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:27.160
Again, Wednesday, Wendy's taking donations
until this Sunday for Postathon twenty twenty

415
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:33.799
three. The Iranian back Houties have
claimed responsibility for attacks on three commercial ships

416
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:37.839
in the Red Sea. The USS
Carney shot down several drones that officials say

417
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:44.519
were launched from the Houti controlled parts
of Yemen. Residents of Conunis say they

418
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:48.759
heard air strikes and explosions in and
around the city after overnight, after the

419
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:52.960
Israeli military dropped leaflets warning people to
relocate farther south toward the border with Egypt.

420
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:57.400
President Biden's headed to Hollywood for an
all star fundraiser this week, actually

421
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:01.839
a couple of them. He'll be
attending fundraisers hosted by Steven Spielberg, Rob

422
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:06.920
Reiner, and Shonda Rhimes. Donors
are expected to spend up to nine hundred

423
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:12.359
thousand dollars each to attend the fundraisers. Friday. We're just minutes away from

424
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:15.200
Handle. On the news this morning, another smash and grab robbery, this

425
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.039
one at the Santa Anita Mall.
Right, now, let's say good morning

426
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:22.720
to ABC White House correspondent Karen Travers. Karen, lawmakers are mulling over a

427
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:27.880
huge military aid package. Where are
we with that? Yeah, So,

428
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:31.039
the big headline this morning is that
the White House today is sending its most

429
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:36.839
dire warning yet about the urgent need
for Ukraine funding. The President's Budget director

430
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:39.839
Shlanda Young sent a letter this morning
to congressional leaders both the House and the

431
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:45.119
Senate that says flat out there is
no magical pot of funding available to meet

432
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.720
this moment. She writes, we
are out of money and nearly out of

433
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.799
time. This is very different than
what we were hearing late last week from

434
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.960
the National Security spokesman John Kirby,
who would say, you know, the

435
00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.559
runway is getting shorter for funding for
Ukraine. Now it's December, the clock

436
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:05.359
is taking. The White House is
really ramping up the pressure to get the

437
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.519
one hundred and six billion dollar funding
requests if they sent to Congress many weeks

438
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:13.279
ago across the finish line, sixty
one point four billion of that would go

439
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:17.960
to Ukraine and the Shwanda Young is
making it clear that without Congress approving this,

440
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.039
she says, the US will not
have the resources to give more weapons

441
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:28.759
or equipment equipment to Ukraine or provide
equipment from US military stockpiles. By the

442
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.279
end of this year. That's it. They're done. So look for this

443
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:35.599
to be the big message of the
week to try and push Congress to get

444
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:38.319
moving on this. We're hearing that
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would like to

445
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:43.200
see a bill get to the floor
of this week. But they're still negotiating

446
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:45.799
some of the border aspects that would
be a part of this funding request,

447
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:51.599
and that is proving to be very
challenging, as you can imagine, because

448
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:54.000
it's such a complicated issue, right
and for now, it's still all in

449
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:58.839
one package. It's like one hundred
and six billion dollars, right, yeah,

450
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:00.160
and they're one undred and six billion
is what the White House wanted,

451
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:02.559
and they want it all at once
because they don't want anything left out.

452
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:06.960
When you start pulling things out,
that's when things get left on the cutting

453
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:13.000
room floor, Okay, But then
the sticking point is the border. Yeah.

454
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:16.119
Yeah, So the administration asked for
fourteen billion dollars in border security funding,

455
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:20.840
and everybody's in agreement that they want
border funding. But the question is

456
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:23.960
what does it go toward and what
policy changes, if any, are made

457
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:30.760
as part of this legislation. Hearing
the Republicans are pushing for tightening rules for

458
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.920
asylum, making it harder for asylum
the seekerts to stay in this country while

459
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.840
their cases are being decided. The
White House has been very tight lifted about

460
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:43.280
what they would or would not have
the President sign off on because they're waiting

461
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:45.800
to see details from Capitol Hill.
So look for that to be the big

462
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:50.199
question at the White House over the
next couple of days. They probably will

463
00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:52.719
not show the President's cards, but
we are looking for signals from Capitol Hill

464
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:57.280
about how close they are to an
agreement. Okay, we'll be watching for

465
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.440
it. Thank you so much for
the information, Karen, have a great

466
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:02.079
day, Kail. Let's get back
to some of the stories coming out of

467
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:07.679
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
One man has been killed another injured during

468
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:12.840
a shooting near a target in Norwalk. The Sheriff's department says two men in

469
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.159
their twenties were found Saturday night with
gunshot wounds, one in the parking lot

470
00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:21.800
who was pronounced dead at the thene
The other guy was found inside the store

471
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:28.360
and taken to the hospital in stable
condition. The Air Force says divers have

472
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:32.199
found the remains of five crew members
and wreckage from an Osprey aircraft that crashed

473
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:37.519
off the coast of Japan. Rescue
teams are now focused on recovery and support

474
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:45.079
for the families of the missing.
ABC's Anthony Trotter says there were eight crew

475
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:49.079
members aboard last week when the aircraft
went into the ocean. That number was

476
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.280
downgraded to six, but apparently it's
back up to eight. One death was

477
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.679
confirmed at the time. The Supreme
Court is set to hear arguments in the

478
00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:01.440
bankruptcy deal for oxy contin maker Perdue
Fiara. The deal gives immunity to the

479
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:07.519
owners of Purdue Pharma the Sackler family, protecting them from lawsuits. Attorney Ed

480
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:10.840
Niger, who helped negotiate the settlement, of course, maybe bad people,

481
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:17.679
but they're not stupid people, and
they will not give any money to abate

482
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:23.400
opiated crisis or two victims to help
rebuild their lives unless they get those releases.

483
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:28.960
He says. Some families need the
money to help someone struggling with addiction.

484
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.920
Some needed because the provider for the
family died of an overdose. The

485
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:36.800
bodies of two people and a dog
have been found in the debris from a

486
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.599
fire that heavily damaged three homes in
Silmar. The LA Fire Department says Cruz

487
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:45.920
responded to a home yesterday morning where
they found two backhouses also burning. Officials

488
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:49.199
say a lot of ammunition was going
off as the fire burned, so the

489
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:54.480
bomb squad was also called out.
Weapons were recovered from the scene. McNugget

490
00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:59.559
Buddies are back at McDonald's. Doesn't
sound familiar. That's because they have a

491
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:04.079
band at mc donalds for the first
time in twenty five years. On December

492
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.320
eleventh, McDonald's is going to roll
out the Kerwin Frost Box. It's a

493
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:14.079
collaboration with artist Kerwin Frost and a
new spin on an adult happy meal.

494
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:17.079
Oh I like that idea. The
box comes with ten piece McNuggets or a

495
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:23.119
big mac fries, a soda,
and one of six Buddy collectibles. The

496
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:29.039
new Buddies are based on Frost's experiences
growing up in New York City. A

497
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:32.599
portion of the proceeds are going to
support the Harlem Arts Alliance, where Frost

498
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:39.239
first started his journey. How's this
to a journey to be a super super

499
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:45.280
smart little girl. There's a six
year old girl from New Jersey. She

500
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:52.920
has Genius IQ level. So Declan
Lopez is a kindergartener. She's interested in

501
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:58.079
arts, science, math, geography. She reads at a fourth grade level.

502
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:02.840
Again, she's a kindergartener. She's
recently been integrated into the MENSA society.

503
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:09.039
She goes to school in Dover.
Teachers say that she's amazing and supportive,

504
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:14.320
and she gets this special teaching.
Once a week. They do this

505
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:19.519
coding game with her to give her
some extra stimulation because they don't have a

506
00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:25.920
gifted program for kindergarteners. It doesn't
start until third grade. So her parents

507
00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:34.039
say that she's super super smart.
She's let's see what is highs. There's

508
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:37.440
no answer to who has the highest
IQ ever. But it's not Albert Einstein.

509
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:42.880
But this little girl has an IQ
if. I believe it was one

510
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:45.840
thirty eight, which is right at
the genius level. She's six years old.

511
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:52.800
I don't think are most of us
even a triple digits gon's like I

512
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:57.119
might be one hundred. I have
no idea. Have you ever taken an

513
00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:00.360
IQ test? I've never actually taken
one. Oh, not like a legit

514
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:05.159
one, like an app. Oh
you did the app? Oh okay,

515
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:08.280
maybe I'll do that later. Scared
to see the results. Hey. This

516
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:13.079
Wednesday, the Clippers take on the
Denver Nuggets at Crypto dot Com Arena,
