WEBVTT 1 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 --> 00:00:15.800 demand on the iHeartRadio app k f I and KOST HD two Los Angeles and 3 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:37.479 Orange County, and you get your haste Amy. Okay, good morning. 4 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:42.119 This is your wake up call for Monday, November thirteenth. I'm Amy King. 5 00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.479 Thanks for waking up with me this morning. Hope you had a great 6 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:51.079 weekend. Do you know it's like less than two weeks until Thanksgiving and it 7 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:55.119 was eighty five degrees yesterday. It still feels really weird, but I have 8 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.640 to tell you I'm in total Thanksgiving mode. We had pumpkin Ravioli on Friday 9 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:06.319 night and then last night pumpkin Yoki. I'm in full Thanksgiving mode. I 10 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.959 made a nice little brown butter sauce. I'm getting to be quite the chef, 11 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.480 even though not a very good cook. But I actually did the brown 12 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.560 button didn't burn it, so I'm pretty proud of myself. So today's going 13 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.719 to be a doozy thanks to that fire in downtown LA that shut down the 14 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.640 ten. If you're headed out, you might want to step it up and 15 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:25.480 get going early. There are estimates that you might want to leave about an 16 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.640 hour early because of that. We're gonna check in with Nick Poliochini in just 17 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.640 one second. He's going to give you an early look at what's going on 18 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.040 on the roads. Here's what's ahead on the wake up call, and estimated 19 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.359 three hundred thousand commuters in LA are going to have to find a different way 20 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.680 to get where they need to go. Part of the ten Freeway and surrounding 21 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.680 freeways and connectors are closed indefinitely after that fire at a Pallette yard underneath the 22 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.959 freeway over the weekend, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin NETANYAHUO says there may be a 23 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.519 deal in the works to free more hostages held by Hamas. He wouldn't go 24 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.719 into any detail, saying the chances of a deal are better the less he 25 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.280 talked about it. About two hundred and forty people, including Americans, are 26 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:08.280 being held hostage. South Carolina Senator Tim Scott has suspended his presidential campaign. 27 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.680 He made the announcement on Fox News last night. In fact, I was 28 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.400 watching it and he's talking to Trey Goudy about how he's headed to Iowa and 29 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.199 all this, and all of a sudden, he says, but I'm not 30 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.120 going to Iowa as a candidate. I'm announcing that I'm getting out of the 31 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.639 race, he said. Voters have made it clear to him now is not 32 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.960 his time. He didn't rule out running in the future. He also has 33 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.039 not yet endorsed another candidate for president. At six oh five, it's handle 34 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.280 on the news and here we are again, just a few days away from 35 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.479 a government shutdown. Bill's gonna weigh in on that. Let's get started with 36 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.199 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. And 37 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.199 who better to start with in our very own Nick Polio Keiney wanted to check 38 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.280 in with you early, Nick, And of course this is probably going to 39 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.719 be what you're going to be talking about all morning long. But we have 40 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.520 a mess bruin in downtown La. Yeah, and it's been that way all 41 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:59.479 weekend long. Amy. It's started acture on twelve thirty in the morning on 42 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.240 Saturday morning, and it was pretty These pallette are a pallet yard underneath the 43 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.879 freeway near East fourteenth and Alameda Street and both sides of fourteenth Street underneath the 44 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.919 ten which is really really creepy. If you've seen any of the images that 45 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.719 people were shooting and putting out on social media fully engulfed for you underneath the 46 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:22.080 free when the flames are coming up underneath it So looks like what exactly happened 47 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:29.360 was some of the steel guard rails and freeway infrastructure itself pretty much was melted 48 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.199 from that situation, including a fire truck that responded to it was completely damaged. 49 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.840 And there's some really creepy images you can see on social media of that 50 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.039 as well. Yeah, so how is that going to affect us this morning? 51 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.759 What all's closed right now? Northbound five to the westbound ten connectors off 52 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.439 limits, Southbound five to the westbound ten off limits, westbound sixty to the 53 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:52.199 ten. Westbound ten on ramp at Soto as well as the Alameda Street on 54 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.560 ramp and the ten west Santa Fe On Ramp are all off limits. I'll 55 00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:00.560 post on x or Twitter closure map for you to be able to check out 56 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.199 some of the alternate routes that are available for y'all. Make sure to tag 57 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.639 you as well Amy and Kfi to have those details for you. An eastbound 58 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:12.360 alternate for the ten is going to be exiting at Alameda and sixteenth Street, 59 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.199 and there are signs posted to help get you through there on the westbound side 60 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.319 of the ten. You're going to be coming away from Well Entered, getting 61 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:24.000 off the Washington Boulevard, and then it looks like Central Avenue or sixteenth three 62 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.600 will help you get around that again. I'll put all those closures up for 63 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.519 us on extra Twitter. Okay, great, thanks Nick, and we're going 64 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:30.839 to check in with you again in about two minutes. You can give us 65 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.959 the latest on that and then other stuff going on as we get our Monday 66 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.160 morning started. Appreciate it sounds great, You got it. Governor Newsom says 67 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.480 state agencies they're going to work twenty four to seven to repair the section of 68 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.199 the ten freeway in downtown that was damaged by fire. Newsom said he's treating 69 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.839 the cleanup with the same urgencies his agencies did during the nineteen ninety four north 70 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.480 Ridge earthquake, and he says he knows the question on everyone's mind, when 71 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:56.879 the hell is this going to get reopened? That is being assessed in real 72 00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.759 time. Yesterday the governor flew over the freeway and did a walking tour of 73 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.279 this. He says the state property was leased to an entity that was behind 74 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.319 on rent and had been cited multiple times for code violations. Photos of the 75 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:11.279 storage lot of shown vehicles, food vendor carts with propane tanks, wooden pallettes, 76 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.399 and a homeless camp in downtown LA Steve Gregory KA Fine News, Oh 77 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.800 what a mess. The schools in the Test And School District will be closed 78 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:24.040 again today while health officials check the areas surrounding the big big blimp hanger that 79 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.399 burned last week at the former Test And airbase. The district says some campuses 80 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.040 have already been cleared and will reopen tomorrow. One option for schools that don't 81 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.600 reopen is virtual learning house. Republicans have proposed a temporary two step plan to 82 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:41.720 avoid a government shutdown this month. It extends government funding for some agencies and 83 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.399 programs until January nineteenth, and continues funding for others until February second. Pennsylvania 84 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:51.240 Democratic Congressman Brendan Boyle says it's not what's needed right now, but he is 85 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.360 seeing some signs of progress. We all know the way this is going to 86 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:59.439 end. We're going to get a clean cr The only question is will we 87 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.000 get it before a government shutdown, or will we get it some days and 88 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:08.319 weeks into a government shutdown. The temporary plan does not include additional aid for 89 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.480 Israel or Ukraine. We're going to be talking more with ABC Stephen Portnoy about 90 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.839 the details of this plan or these plans and the chances that it has of 91 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:21.839 passing. It's five seven on your wake up call. Let's say good morning 92 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:28.240 now to ABC's Jordana Millard. Jordana, what's the latest as Israel continues to 93 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.839 push further into the Gaza Strip. Well, all eyes today really on the 94 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:41.319 Al Shifa Hospital that is Gaza's largest medical facility in northern Gaza, and now 95 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:46.639 for a third day in a row, there's intense combat around this hospital. 96 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:55.319 Hamas terraces engaging in firefights with the Israeli forces. Israel says it is not 97 00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:01.720 directly firing on the hospital and not attacking it directly, but nonetheless the hospital 98 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:10.199 has suffered some secondary damage from this combat and a number of civilians were killed 99 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.279 over the weekend. Because there were tens of thousands of people that had been 100 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:20.000 sheltering outside the hospital thinking it would be a safe place, many of them, 101 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:26.439 most of them evacuated over the weekend. Inside the Al Shifa Hospital said 102 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:31.439 on Saturday it lost power because it ran out of fuel. As you know, 103 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:36.399 Israel's not allowing fuel into the Gaza strip because it says it will you 104 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.240 know, Hamas will steal its fuel and use it in the war. It 105 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.079 also argues that Hamas has plenty of fuel stockpiled and it could give it to 106 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:50.240 the hospitals, and it is refusing that Alshiva Hospital now really not operational. 107 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:57.199 We're hearing today that at least thirty two patients have died there and that includes 108 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:03.680 three premature babies. Are thirty six other babies that were in incubators that have 109 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.319 now you know, they've had to doctors had to take them out and try 110 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:13.600 to keep them alive. And Israel says it has offered to evacuate these babies 111 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:20.959 to other hospitals or to Egypt, but Hamas is preventing that. We're going 112 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.800 to have to wait and see and pray that some of these babies and other 113 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:30.360 sick patients can get out of this hospital as it is increasingly in the middle 114 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.080 of this war. And you're saying that the firefight is happening in and around 115 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:43.480 the hospital. Is Hamas inside the hospital firing out. The combat's happening around 116 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.519 the hospital, not inside. There's no Israeli troops inside. There have been 117 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.720 reports that Hamas militant militants, terrorists, fighters, commanders, whatever you want 118 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.120 to call them, have been firing on Israeli troops from inside the hospital. 119 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.440 But there there are no troops inside, and Israel will not go inside the 120 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:07.440 hospital and not while there are sick people there. That's our that is what 121 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.240 we understand now. You know, it is so hard for us to tell 122 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.159 the story because we don't have a lot of sources on the ground. Uh, 123 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.600 and it becomes a he said, she said. On the other hand, 124 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.440 if we fay, if we kind of take a larger picture of what 125 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.000 has already happened in this in you know, now we're in the sixth week 126 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.840 of this war, we have to say that. You know, Hamas has 127 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.320 claims that it does not control the hospital and has nothing to do with the 128 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.440 babies or the staff. It's hard to believe when we see the way Hamas 129 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:45.440 is operated that far. They took an Israeli nine month old baby and several 130 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:50.320 children into captivity. Uh. You know, if they were concerned about these 131 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.240 babies surviving, they would enable them to leave the hospital, it seems, 132 00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:00.240 but that is not obviously on their priority list. It's hard for US US 133 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.720 in the West and the United States to understand the brutality of this group. 134 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:09.320 I have a seven month old baby, and I'm horrified by these stories. 135 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.320 So this is uh where, you know, everyone is hoping that somehow they're 136 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.159 going to there's going to be some mechanism to keep these babies out and evacuate 137 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:26.200 them to Egypt. You mentioned the hostages too, and I heard over the 138 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.840 weekend that there could be a deal coming or it's in the works. Nettan 139 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.960 y'all who said there could be, but he wouldn't give any details, saying 140 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.279 the less he says, the better the chances of the deal coming together. 141 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:41.440 What's the latest you're hearing about it. Well, you know, for several 142 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.720 days, we've been hearing that momentum is building towards a hostage deal. We 143 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.200 understand that the Prime Minister rejected an earlier deal that included the release of only 144 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.879 ten or fifteen hostages. It simply wasn't enough because there's two hundred in the 145 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.080 right there's because there's two hundred and nine that's you know, less than ten 146 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.480 percent. So we are now hearing that it is going to be you know, 147 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:11.000 dozens and dozens of hostages potentially released in exchange, it seems, for 148 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.679 the release of some jailed Palestinians here in Israel, perhaps some women or men 149 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.840 over the age of fifty, you know. And we're not sure how long 150 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.000 the pause in the fighting will be. But remember Israel has said that the 151 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:31.639 military campaign puts pressure on Hamas and makes it more likely to negotiate for a 152 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:37.559 hostage release. That may or may not be true. You know, it 153 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:43.360 may be that Hamas you know, holds on to the hostages more tightly as 154 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:50.279 the campaign progresses, you know, waiting for a further point in the future 155 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.240 to try to use them for leverage. Well also, but it's also heartbreaking. 156 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.399 Yeah, and you would think too, I mean, if you're just 157 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.480 sitting back and looking at it, that you would think that Hamas would hold 158 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:09.840 on to the hostages because that also is possibly keeping the Israeli military from destroying 159 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.720 several other areas or tunnels that where there may be hostages held they might be 160 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:20.639 you know, not putting right and treasure right and the Alshifa Hospital exactly. 161 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.879 I mean, why is the Alshifa Hospital in the middle of this war Because 162 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:30.879 Israel believes that Hamas is using parts of the hospital and has built bunkers underneath 163 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:39.399 the hospital to store weapons and militants and possibly the hostages. So you know, 164 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:45.879 it certainly complicates Israel's war plans, especially when it comes to destroying the 165 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:50.399 tunnels where some of the hostages are likely being held. I mean, four 166 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.320 hostages have made it out, and the one elderly woman who spoke to the 167 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.960 press said, you know she was you know, she was marched essentially through 168 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:09.360 miles of muddy underground tunnels that she described were spider like webs underneath a gaza. 169 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.440 All right, well, we will continue to watch it, and as 170 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.080 always, we appreciate all the information that we get directly from you.

The freeway is shut down because of a 175 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:37.720 palifier under the freeway and Saturday that melted away some of the freeway's steel guardrails. 176 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.279 Not only the ten is affected, several other freeways and connectors are going 177 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:45.080 to be closed, and of course Nikkolaiokini is going to keep you right on 178 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.240 top of that. Pro Israel rally has been held in Thousand Oaks at the 179 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.600 same place. A sixty nine year old Jewish man was injured a week ago 180 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.320 and later died after a run in with a pro Palestinian protester. There were 181 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:01.799 no issues with the rally yesterday. Bag After members will begin voting tomorrow on 182 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.279 a new three year contract with the Hollywood Studios that ended the one hundred and 183 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:11.440 eighteen day actors strike.

The pool of Republican presidential candidates just got smaller. 186 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.879 Senator Tim Scott has suspended his campaign. Right now, let's say good morning 187 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:30.399 to ABC's Tom Rivers. Tom, we've heard of all the pro Palestinian protests, 188 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.639 but a march in France was different. Please tell us about it very 189 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:41.159 much. So we've had some very very large pro Palestinian marches in France itself, 190 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:48.639 and actually yesterday there was a protest against the view of anti rising anti 191 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.840 Semitism in the country. They've been documented by the police records roughly about one 192 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:58.080 thousand quote unquote incidents up and down the country over the past month. So 193 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:03.360 at the behest of both houses of Parliament they had they had a march through 194 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:11.360 through Paris yesterday and again uh, some some notables leading the march. You 195 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.600 had Sarcozzi. You also had another former Prime minister, Francois hol On there 196 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.600 as well. Macron did not make it, but he sent in a letter 197 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.039 of approval. So yes, uh, trying to get on the street and 198 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:28.559 get get their message out, just like as we're seeing here in the UK. 199 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:35.080 We had a pro Palestinian march on Saturday here from Hyde Park to the 200 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.080 US Embassy. That one was bigger. It was about three hundred thousand uh 201 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.559 turned out for that. So yes, we're seeing marches in a number not 202 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.720 only the capitals, but a number of cities throughout Europe. And it's been 203 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.440 going on for the past month here and it looks like this, No, 204 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.000 no look of that calmbing down in any way, shape or form. And 205 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.840 was the march yesterday was it peaceful? Did they have run ins with opposite 206 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:03.120 sides? Oh? That was that was peaceful. The one here in London 207 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.679 there were something in the neighborhood of ninety three arrests. Three of those were 208 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:15.200 on the pro Palestinian side. Ninety arrests were on the anti pro Palestinian hard 209 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.399 right faction, if you will. So, yes, it was a counter 210 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:25.360 demonstration to the main demonstration. So yes, we are seeing that dynamic playing 211 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.919 out here, okay. And for the for the demonstration in Paris yesterday, 212 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.039 it was just one big one or was it in several places around the country, 213 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.559 Yeah, it was. It was that was where the largest one was. 214 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.840 They estimated in total up and down the country one hundred and eighty thousand 215 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.840 plus. But as I say, it varies, but they think between one 216 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.720 hundred and one hundred and five thousand people in Paris, Okay. And you 217 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.759 they, as you mentioned, there were some pretty big powerful people there. 218 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:57.960 So was security pretty Yeah. They always are. They always are. The 219 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:04.200 French police are always out to go back to the Jill Jean protests of about 220 00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:08.799 five years ago, they got used to showing up each and every Saturday or 221 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:14.160 Sunday. So yes, they're quite versed and they're there and they take action 222 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.599 if it is required. But as you said at the top. No real 223 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.079 problems this particular weekend. Good to hear, Tom. Do you speak French? 224 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.480 Very very basic? I can go to a restaurant there. Nut's about 225 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:32.079 it. I'm asking because you say the names so beautifully. Which one has 226 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.000 that? No, all the French names, you say them very you know, 227 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.759 like you like you speak the language. We when you go there and 228 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.680 you cover it, you learn about five new words each trip. So there 229 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.359 you go. Okay, Thank you so much, Tom, appreciate your input 230 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.920 and information this morning. Have a wonderful day. Take care all right, 231 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.359 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 232 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:56.480 hour newsroom. Republican Senator Tim Scott has announced he is out of the twenty 233 00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.920 twenty four race for president. The South Carolina senator made the support announcement on 234 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.000 Fox's Sunday Night in America with Trey Goudy. One campaign worker told the Associated 235 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:10.359 Press that campaign staff found out Scott was dropping out by watching the show. 236 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:14.759 The news comes as Scott continued to struggle in the polls and just days after 237 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.359 the third Republican primary debate. Scott entered the race in May with more cash 238 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:23.680 than any other Republican candidate Courtney Adelman KFI News, and as I mentioned at 239 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:29.039 the top of the hour, I was watching Fox News when Senator Scott made 240 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.559 that announcement yesterday, and it was like, I was kind of doing some 241 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:36.119 stuff for the show today and so half listening, and then I kind of 242 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.000 looked up and said, did he just announce that he's doing that? He's 243 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.799 dropping out? And then the host of the show's Trey Goudy, and you 244 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.359 could tell that he was thrown. He was not expecting that because he was 245 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:51.079 like I, I, it wasn't in the script. So interesting. Too 246 00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.920 bad. I really liked Tim Scott. I still liked Tim Scott. Lawyers 247 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.079 for President Trump are said to begin their defense in New York in the civil 248 00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:02.720 fraud case against the Trump Organization when new testimony is expected today from Donald Trump 249 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.960 Junior, who's also a defendant in the case.

Talk 276 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.799 about needing kindness. Today, traffic is expected to be a mess as part 277 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:21.759 of the ten Freeway and surrounding freeways and connectors are closed indefinitely because of that 278 00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:25.720 fire at a pallet yard underneath the freeway. Over the weekend, Israeli Prime 279 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:30.160 Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there may be a deal in the works to free more 280 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.799 hostages held by Hamas. He wouldn't go into details, saying the chances of 281 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:36.759 a deal are better the less he talks about it. About two hundred and 282 00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.920 forty people, including Americans, are currently being held hostage a town south of 283 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.920 the capital city of Ricovik. Iceland, is being evacuated because of a possible 284 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:52.359 volcanic eruption. The town was cleared out Saturday following hundreds of earthquakes in Thearia. 285 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.519 They recorded like fourteen hundred earthquakes Icelandic officials say they are expecting an eruption 286 00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.160 within a couple of days. At six five Handle on the News, former 287 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:04.440 President Trump is siding with the media on this one. He wants his trial 288 00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:11.200 televised. At five point fifty, we're going to be talking with ABC's Stephen 289 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.519 Portnoy about how lawmakers are going to try to get bills passed to avert a 290 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.839 government shutdown, which is now just five days away. Right now, let's 291 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:23.640 say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim tipping. Is it a tipping 292 00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:27.160 point? More and more people are being asked to tip and tip more, 293 00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.920 well, right, yeah, and then this may be part of the National 294 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.000 Kindness Day. How about tipping your waiter or your weight staff. But do 295 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.519 you have to tip the barrister at Starbucks? Do you need to tip the 296 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.000 convenience store clerk who really didn't do anything except cash you out? And you 297 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.799 know it's so yeah, that's more and more people say that they are being 298 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.519 asked to tip more. In this survey by a Pew Research of twelve thousand 299 00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:53.279 people, by the way, it's a huge sampling, seventy two percent say 300 00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:56.279 that tipping is now expected in more places than it was five years ago. 301 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.039 And I think that goes without saying that. You you see it more often. 302 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:04.519 You see the tip jar there, or the clerk spins the tablet around 303 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.480 and asks you to write in a tip amount before than skimming your card or 304 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:11.440 whatever you do. So, yeah, more people are being asked tip. 305 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.079 Are they being asked to tip more? Perhaps? Are they actually tipping more? 306 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:21.799 Not necessarily? Yeah, you'll find that about you know, about a 307 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:23.960 quarter of people say that, yeah, I tip about twenty percent. That's 308 00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:29.920 kind of the standard now. Yeah, but two percent say I don't tip 309 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.680 at all, zero percent ever ever, Okay, I do have a problem 310 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.599 with that. Yeah, come on, okay. So but now you're saying, 311 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.799 and I was reading an article that said, oh, it's a good 312 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:44.480 idea to leave twenty percent. I'm like, when did it get to be 313 00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:47.279 twenty percent? A couple of years ago it was fifteen, and then it 314 00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:49.400 was eighteen, and now when they you know, when they do the suggestions 315 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.240 on the receipts, it goes you can do eighteen, or you can do 316 00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.359 twenty, or you can do twenty five. I'm like, what happened to 317 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.839 fifteen? Why don't they put that on there anymore? Well, for somebody 318 00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:00.880 like me who works with words, not with numbers, twenty percent is just 319 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:06.039 easier math. It really is. I mean, one point five fifteen percent 320 00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:10.440 is okay, but twenty percent just became easier to do. But you know, 321 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:12.440 it depends upon the situation. By the way, here's here's a tip 322 00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:17.559 for you, Amy. If you see that listing there, Hey, if 323 00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:18.720 you want a tip, fifteen percent, it'll be this amount, it'll be 324 00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.599 twenty percent, it'll be this amount. That is the after tax amount, 325 00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:26.519 right, so you might want to go back in and figure it out before 326 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.920 the tax is added onto your bill on your slip. That way, you're 327 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:34.079 tipping the amount before tax, not after tax. I know, but I 328 00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:38.200 don't think that anybody does that anymore. It's like there's all these these social 329 00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:44.200 moras like how much you're supposed to tip so? And I think that the 330 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.519 biggest cause of here's my word of the day, consternation. I don't use 331 00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.839 big words very often is when you go and, like you said, the 332 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.240 barista at Starbucks, or I go to my little Chinese place down the street 333 00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:02.079 and they basically all they I've done is serve me at the counter. They 334 00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:04.240 haven't brought food out to me. They're not checking my water, they're not 335 00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:08.319 getting me another cocktail. And then they turn around that screen and stand there 336 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.880 and look at you. Yeah, and it says how much do you want 337 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.480 to tip? I don't want to tip. This is not a tipping situation, 338 00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.119 all right. Well, twenty nine percent of the people in this in 339 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.599 this survey said that tipping is an obligation, twenty one percent hits a choice, 340 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:26.400 forty nine percent of full half of them say, you know what, 341 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:29.880 it depends on the situation. So don't feel too guilty if you don't tip 342 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.920 your barrest reach that okay. But and then on the flip on the flip 343 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:38.640 side, are they are people showing they're unhappy with the service by tipping less 344 00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:41.160 they are, yes, or by not tipping at all. And I think 345 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.720 people are catching on to this. It was just sort of a blanket thing 346 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.160 before, especially during the pandemic. Those folks are there risking their lives to 347 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.200 serve you up, so they deserve tip. And I think now, folks, 348 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.480 some of the customers are saying, yeah, things are different now and 349 00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:59.000 I'm not maybe going to tip as much. Yeah, although I will tip 350 00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:00.160 a little bit more on the holiday days. It's that time of the year, 351 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.039 and maybe today because it's National Kindness thing. Good for you, be 352 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.240 kind all right, Thank you so much, Jim. Appreciate your time as 353 00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:10.079 always. Take care. All right, Let's get back to some of the 354 00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:12.920 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Governor Newsom says cal 355 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.720 Fire is investigating the cause of the massive fire in downtown LA that damaged a 356 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.119 section of the ten Freeway. Newsom says the state property was leased to an 357 00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.319 entity that was behind on rent and had multiple code violations. He says he's 358 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:32.200 rethinking the state lease program. Who is leasing these sites and are they being 359 00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:37.640 monitored? Are they being held accountable? And the answer specifically on this site 360 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.960 is yes. In fact, we're in litigation with the Lassie. The governor 361 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.839 wouldn't elaborate on the litigation yesterday, but said the Lassie may have been illegally 362 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.119 subleasing to a third party. The fire started early Saturday, morning in downtown 363 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:52.319 la Steve Gregory kf I News Elle Mayor Basset's traffic through the downtown area is 364 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.640 going to be a huge mess until further notice. The laser will be so 365 00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:03.960 powerful if you are driving through downtown on the freeway and take the route around, 366 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.799 Bes says. Officials will monitor traffic patterns to adjust any detours or alternate 367 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:14.160 roots. She says. La dot will also synchronize stoplights on surface streets to 368 00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:18.200 alleviate expected backups from detour traffic. Why don't they do that anyway? That's 369 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.720 why I hate driving through downtown. News brought to you by American Vision Windows. 370 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.240 A professor at UC Irvine is part of a team of scientists who will 371 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.160 design the most powerful laser in the world. The laser will be so powerful 372 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.440 that for the millionth of a billionth of a second that the laser will fire, 373 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.960 it'll be more than a thousand times more powerful than the global power grid. 374 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:42.480 UCI Associate Professor Franklin Dollar says the two separate twenty five PETAWAT lasers will 375 00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:47.920 be built in New York to research particle acceleration, laser driven nuclear physics, 376 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:53.200 targeted radiation delivery for cancer patients and high field physics and quantum electrodynamics to emulate 377 00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.720 the energy level of the Big Bang. What could go wrong? In Orange 378 00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:02.680 Downy Corbin Carson kf I News. Two giant rocket motors are now standing one 379 00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:06.720 hundred and sixteen feet tall at the California Science Center. Each one weighs one 380 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:10.799 hundred four thousand pounds. The rocket motors were lifted into the upright position at 381 00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:14.559 the Science Center last week. Visitors can now see the top of them from 382 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.519 outside the construction area of the new Space exhibit. The motors are the first 383 00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.880 large components to be installed the Shuttle's giant external fuel tank, and then the 384 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:27.240 Space Shuttle Endeavor itself will be added in January. As we told you last 385 00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:30.359 week, we got to go to the California Science Center. If you haven't 386 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.960 checked out my video on that it's really cool, then of course I encourage 387 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.759 you to go down and see it for yourself because the exhibits only open until 388 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.160 the end of this year until it goes away so they can reposition this shuttle. 389 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.680 But you can see my interview at Amy K. King on Instagram, 390 00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:49.880 also at KFI AM six forty seven million dollars at the box office might sound 391 00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:55.240 pretty good, but if it's a Marvel Universe movie, that's another story. 392 00:28:55.279 --> 00:29:00.079 The Marvels made forty seven million dollars in its premiere weekend, which was the 393 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:03.400 worst opening in MCU history. Nick and I went and saw the movie. 394 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:07.599 Nick, I think we're sort of in agreement. The movie was kind of 395 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.759 me. Yeah, it was really mad overall. I mean Kamala Khan's character, 396 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.880 who is the left if you saw Mis Marvel, we love her period 397 00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:21.240 across the board, and she's a Marvel, Miss Marvel, Miss Marvel. 398 00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:23.480 I thought she was Miss Marvel well miss well no no, no, miss 399 00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:29.000 like ms yeah instead of miss yeah, miss Marvel. But anyway, she 400 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.960 really is the breakout star for me, and it's purely because she is such 401 00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:37.680 a Marvel superfan before getting her own series on Disney. Plus, she really 402 00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.440 leans into it. Breelarsen fantastic as Captain Marvel. But yeah, there's overall, 403 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:45.240 I think it was a filler to get the story continuing going on as 404 00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:49.039 we move into Phase six of Marvel the Cinematic Universe and all the things that 405 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.640 are to come. Yeah, I just Reelarson. I love Breelarson. I 406 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:57.440 think she's a fantastic actress. I just don't think that her character really had 407 00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:02.319 anywhere to go. There wasn't anything really interesting about this story arc. They 408 00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:06.559 kind of started some things where they share their powers. They find out that 409 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:11.279 the Captain Marvel and mis Marvel, and then some what's the other girl's name, 410 00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:18.799 Manica Rambo Monica Rambo, yes, yes, which is her best friend's 411 00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:25.079 daughter, but Captain Rambo. They end up sharing these light powers and they 412 00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:30.039 have to figure out how they can work them together, and then that kind 413 00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:32.759 of fizzles out. I don't want to tell anything that happens. I mean, 414 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:34.200 it's it's still a Marvel movie. It's fun to look at. It's 415 00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:37.680 got lots of action and that kind of stuff. But I just think in 416 00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.680 the whole Marvel universe, this was just kind of a dud. Yeah, 417 00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:44.839 And I think the only thing that we will be a little bit spoiler alert 418 00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:49.519 is the you will see one post credit scene that will help you see what 419 00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:53.519 is coming to the MCU, the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the near future. 420 00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:56.839 So that's kind of the real reason's the reason to go see the Little Movie 421 00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.599 for sure. Exactly. So there's only one of the you need to stick 422 00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:02.519 around for. And that's the heads up for you, a little bit of 423 00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:04.680 insight, although there is one more fun little reference at the very end, 424 00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:08.720 but really that's kind of as you just are, maybe a friend of a 425 00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:14.160 feeline like you Amy, Yes, oh and that was I. I would 426 00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:17.880 tell you the cats are the best thing about this movie. And you'll you'll 427 00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:21.359 know when you see it. Okay. Officials are warning commuters could take you 428 00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:23.319 an extra hour to get to work this morning because of a closure on the 429 00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:29.200 ten. The freeways shut down because of a pallette fire underneath the freeway Saturday 430 00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:33.920 that melted away some of the steel guardrails. A pro Israel rally has been 431 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.400 held in Thousand Oaks at the same place. A sixty nine year old Jewish 432 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.119 man was injured a week ago and later died after a run in with a 433 00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:45.079 pro Palestinian protester. There were no issues with the rally yesterday. Donald Trump 434 00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.640 Junior will be back on the stand today as the defense presents its case in 435 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.680 the Trump organization's two hundred and fifty million dollar fraud trial in New York. 436 00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:57.319 Prosecutors say Trump inflated real estate values to get better loans and insurance on his 437 00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:02.279 properties two minutes away from handle on the news and Appeals Court says, just 438 00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.319 because Honda is basically spying on you with your car, doesn't mean they're doing 439 00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:13.279 anything wrong. Nice. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. 440 00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:15.200 Stephen, here we go again. All of a sudden, we're just days 441 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.799 away from a government shutdown. Yeah, this is a result of the measure 442 00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:23.440 that was put on the floor by then House Speaker Kevin McCarthy that led to 443 00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:28.960 his ouster. And so the current extension of government funding runs out at the 444 00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:34.279 end of this week Friday night. So what's the solution that's been proposed to 445 00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:39.559 avoid a government shutdown going into next weekend ahead of Thanksgiving. House Speaker Mike 446 00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:43.480 Johnson wants to do. And this is a new term for us here in 447 00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:45.160 Washington, DC and the weird way we speak, we're still getting used to 448 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.759 it. A laddered cr What does that mean? Two steps? Really, 449 00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:54.799 it's two expiration dates on an extension of government funding through either January nineteenth or 450 00:32:54.880 --> 00:33:00.200 two extra weeks February second. The first deadline would apply to do domestic agencies 451 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:05.119 like the Transportation Department, the Veterans Affairs Department, Housing and Urban Development. 452 00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:08.640 The second deadline would apply to the National Security Apparatus, the Defense Department, 453 00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:14.240 the State Department, the Homeland Security Department. Now, this is a measure 454 00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:19.200 that's being opposed by some outspoken Republicans, even though this idea of a forked 455 00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:23.319 two stage deadline situation was a Republican idea. The bill is opposed by at 456 00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:27.599 least four House Republicans, which would be enough on a party line basis to 457 00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:34.240 kill it because it does not include any cuts or any kind of policy rider 458 00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:38.240 that Democrats might view as a poison pill. Why would Republicans object to it 459 00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:42.759 because, as I say, they expected that the new Speaker would put in 460 00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:46.720 place short term stopgap funding measures that would not just have different deadlines, which 461 00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:50.880 is a Republican idea, but it would cut spending, and this bill does 462 00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:54.039 not do that. This is a clean extension of government funding with two different 463 00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:59.000 expiration dates. So why would Democrats oppose it if it's clean. Well, 464 00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:02.559 they think it's a bit given this idea of a two stage laddered continuing resolution, 465 00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:06.240 and they don't think it's a good idea to do this sort of thing 466 00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:07.760 now or in the future. And so they're going to oppose it. The 467 00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:12.440 White House put out a statement on Saturday calling this an unserious proposal. There's 468 00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.519 also the fact that the presidents requested more than one hundred billion dollars for Ukraine 469 00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:21.960 in Israel in an emergency supplemental measure that is not included in this short term 470 00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:27.320 stop gap for agency funding. So this proposal is possibly going to be voted 471 00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:30.840 on in the House tomorrow. But if it's clear by the end of today 472 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:35.599 or early tomorrow to Speaker Johnson that he doesn't have the votes, the Democrats 473 00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.360 are going to withhold their support and enough Republicans will vote to tank it, 474 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:43.800 maybe he won't put it on the floor tomorrow. Okay, that's a lot 475 00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:50.599 to unpack. So the one hundred six billion that is that is not included. 476 00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:57.559 This sounds like what McCarthy did earlier when he said we're not going to 477 00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:00.800 include it right now, We're going to deal with a not right now. 478 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:02.960 Is Johnson saying the same thing? Yes, essentially. I mean, remember, 479 00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:07.320 the House has already passed a fourteen billion dollar Israel funding measure, but 480 00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:12.320 because it doesn't include support for Ukraine, nor does it include humanitarian really for 481 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:15.400 the Palestinians. It's dead on arrival in the Senate. And it also isn't 482 00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:19.800 that the one that they paid for with something else? That's right, yes, 483 00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:21.920 of course, and it include the pay for provision, which is taking 484 00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:24.360 money from IRS enforcement. For over all those reasons, it's dead on arrival 485 00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:28.599 in the Senate. The bottom line is, you know, Congress has not 486 00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:34.199 acted to pass aid for Israel or Ukraine, and never mind the border security 487 00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:37.440 funding. So there's so many things on the table sort of balls in the 488 00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:40.880 air, and none of it is really going to wind up at this moment 489 00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:45.480 on the President's desk, the prop of the immediate crisis, because everything requires 490 00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:49.079 it seems a deadline for action, real significant action to happen in divided government. 491 00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:53.119 Here, the immediate crisis is Friday night. If a measure can be 492 00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:58.360 passed by the House and Senate that extends that deadline further, well then we 493 00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:00.880 won't have a government shutdown on Saturday. That could happen. But for the 494 00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:06.239 moment, the only proposal that's been written down on paper is this laddered two 495 00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:12.239 stage two expiration date government funding at the current levels that the Speaker, Mike 496 00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.599 Johnson has offered that Democrats are eyeing suspiciously and may just sit on their hands 497 00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:21.719 for and Republicans. A small number but outspoken Republicans are expressing their outright objections 498 00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:23.960 to let's see how it all unfolds this week. Okay, And that's the 499 00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:29.280 one that you just mentioned, if I'm hearing you right, that only kicks 500 00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.679 the can down the road till January and February. It's not really a funding 501 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:35.760 plan. It doesn't It doesn't take care of the problem. It just pushes 502 00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:37.559 it back a couple months. Well, to the extent that the problem is 503 00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:40.079 how to fund these agencies. It solves it, but it doesn't do it 504 00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:44.840 at the adjusted twenty twenty four fiscal year funding. That would be the normal 505 00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:46.880 way of doing business, which would be to say, we'll take last year's 506 00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:51.079 budget and we'll plus it up a certain percentage. That's what the normal order 507 00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:53.639 would be. This keeps the agency funding at last year's that is, fiscal 508 00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:57.920 twenty twenty three's levels. Republicans say it should be even lower than that. 509 00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:00.880 So the idea that the solution is to only increase the budget for the fulls 510 00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:07.119 fiscal year, Republicans would oppose that instinctively. Okay, but it doesn't. 511 00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:09.480 It doesn't keep it funded even if they passed it. It only funds it 512 00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:14.599 until January and February. It doesn't do it through twenty twenty four, right, 513 00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:16.559 or well exactly, it does through the end of September, which would 514 00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:22.360 be the normal order. Okay, so we got five days. The countdown 515 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:24.400 is on. We'll be watching, all right, Thanks so much, Steve. 516 00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:28.079 Take care. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 517 00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:30.480 the KFI twenty four hour news room. Schools and Tuestin are closed again because 518 00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:35.000 of the fire that destroyed a massive hangar at the former Tustin Air Base. 519 00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:38.679 Asbestos was detected in the air last week and the fire flared up over the 520 00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:44.480 weekend.

But at 531 00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.639 this point they have virtually nothing. He says. They don't have water, 532 00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:37.719 they don't have medical supplies, and they're down to single sockets for an operating 533 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:42.239 room. Israel's Prime Minister says they have offered fuel for the hospital to keep 534 00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:45.000 the incubators going, but Hamas refused it. He says. Israel has also 535 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:51.440 offered to build field hospitals and low cost carrier Fly.
