felt a little chill in the air. It was kind of a nice change.
But no, instead of nice fall weather, we're getting Santa Ana winds,
so it's going to be warm and dry and windy for the next couple
of days. Not too warm though, it's actually going to be very nice.

sticking point. The strike is into day one. Seventeen Muslims in Ventura County

involved in a fight with the elderly man before his head hit the ground,
causing fatal injuries. Member of the Islamic Center of Knejo Valley, Imam Mohammed

The move was led by Republican Congressman Rick McCormick, who says to Leib promoted

Friday. It's five h six on your wake up Call. We're trying to
connect with Jordana Miller, going to give it us an update from Jerusalem,
but we're having some trouble connecting with her. Actually, she's calling in right
now. I haven't talked to her for a couple of days. So many
things going on right now, so let's get right to it. Good morning,
Jordana Israel. Israel has taken the war deep into Gaza City. What's
the latest. That's right, we're hearing from Israeli officials that the troops are
inside the heart they call it the heart of Gaza City, the depths of
Gaza City. This is the stronghold of Hamas. It is where Israel believes
Hamas leaders, the really top leaders are hiding in bunkers. It is where
there's a lot of arms being stored. The tunnel network is there under Gaza
City. This is really a part of the battle now, and it is
going to take weeks. Yesterday was the one month anniversary since the attack.
And we heard last night from the Israeli Defense minister in one of the war
cabinet generals and the Prime Minister. And while they, you know, do
seem pleased with Israel's quick advancement, and you know, less than two weeks
they're in Gaza City. Uh and even you know, there's been thirty three
fatalities, but for two weeks of fighting, you know, this is you
know, a decent number, not to undermine, of course, the tragedy
of every life. Lost, but Israel seems to have arrived in Gaza city
quicker and in better shape than it had expected. But this, these these
next several weeks are going to be the new stage of Israel's assault on Hamas,
and it is going to be tough urban warfare. I saw someone,
a neighbor of mine who's fighting in Gaza. He was released for a few
hours to see his family, and I said, how tough is it inside?
And he said, it's tough because Hamas terraces are coming out of the
tunnel shaft, firing anti tank missiles and then disappearing right. So they hold
the home court advantage, so to speak, and is As to be so
careful with which tunnels it destroys and how it destroys them. Given that you
know there are two hundred and forty hostages, and while Israel won't say it
publicly, we know they have a lot of intelligence and they have a very
good idea of where those hostages are. So that complicates the battlefield. Jordana,
I've seen reports that Israel's having some success with the bunker busting bombs.
Do we know or have any kind of idea how much much success or is
it just not known, right, they're not really sharing with us the press
the kind of armaments they're using. Many assume that they're using bunker buster bombs
provided by the United States to get deep into those tunnels. They did report
yesterday the Defense Minister around the War Cabinet that about one hundred tunnels have been
damaged or destroyed. That's a decent number. You know, we can assume
that some are being sealed, but some are being you know, blown up,
making them unusable. I mean, that's that's really the quote unquote best
way to destroy the tunnels. And we have to understand these are sophisticated tunnels.
They have you know, ventilation systems and air systems, and there's places
to sleep and to eat and to store arms. We know that Israel knew
that before, and you know from the four hostages that Hamas released, they're
learning more. And one even publicly said, one of the elderly women said,
I you know, I was forced to walk for miles in like muddy,
spider web like tunnels. Yeah. Okay, So the US is still
pushing for humanitarian pauses. In fact, that G seven came out with US
Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln and other leaders saying they really want to see the
humanitarian pauses. Is there any sign that that may happen. Well, the
Israli Prime Minister has been adamant that he will only consider a pause, a
humanitarian pause or cease fire when hostages are released, and there were reports yesterday
that Hamas was offering up ten to fifteen hostages. Sources at the Prime Minister's
office say that it is simply not enough people. When we're talking about two
hundred and forty hostages, that's five percent, right, So you know,
Israel's looking for a much better deal. Fifty sixty seventy eighty hostages released,
and then it will consider a ceasefire. You know. Cutter and Egypt and
the United States, they're all trying to put pressure on Hamas to see if
they break and we'll release some of those hostages. We'll have to wait and
see. It is an agonizing national wound here, the hostage issue, especially
because there are children. Do we know how many children? There are thirty
eight children and babies that include some of those are toddlers. A few were
toddlers. There's a nine month old there, Oh my gosh, oh,
there's a three there's a three year old, there's a there's a six year
old. I mean it is were they taken with their parents or separated from
their parents or do we know, separate? Some of them were separated from
their parents. Some of them were separated from their parents. Jordana Miller,
thank you so much for following this. And they're teenagers too, yeah,
yeah, kind of covers everything. Well, we'll be watching it and hoping
and praying that they do let some hostages out so we can get some relief
into the Palestinian people. Thanks for checking in. We'll talk to you again
soon. Jordana sucksin. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Another day, another strike in home
care providers or hitting picket lines to demand better pay and working conditions. In
California. We are unable to maintain and hold our current caregivers because wages are
just way, way too low. Alvidia Scott is an in home supportive services
care provider who makes sixteen fifteen an hour, says that's not enough to make
ends meet. Union president our new Vote de la Cruz says caregivers deserve better.
It's no fun to get paid poverty wages while you're really doing all you
can to care for someone else, a loved one, a senior client that
you have. This is incredibly difficult work. The union says county boards have
threatened to cut or reduce health care coverage in exchange for wage increases. Ivanka
Trump is expected on the witness stand in New York and the civil fraud trial
against the Trump family business. State attorneys have sought her testimony, as Ivanka
Trump has been in her father's inner circle in both business and politics, while
she's claimed to know little about her father's financial statements. ABC's Mark Remillard says
Ivanka's dad and two brothers have already testified. She's been dismissed as a defendant
in the Attorney General's lawsuit. It alleges asset values were fraudulently pumped up for
years on financial statements to help Trump get loans and insurance. He denies any
wrongdoing. The FDA has recalled some brands of saline and sterile water medical products
because they may not be sterile. The impacted products were distributed in the US
and Canada between November of twenty twenty one and September of twenty twenty three.

Mars rover Curiosity has survived four thousand days on the surface of the red planet.
Scientists at NASA JPL said the nominal survival of the rover was two years.
JPL's Charles Alatchi spoke on the night Curiosity landed August fifth, twenty twelve.
We're in no hurry. We have now have. As I said to
the team on ten thirty two, tonight, we would have a priceless national
asset and we are not going to partner the French screw it up. As
of Monday, the rovers traveled twenty miles and drilled through the surface of the
red planet thirty nine times. It would pave the way for the rover Perseverance,
which landed on Mars in twenty twenty one. Steve Gregory Tang of Fine
News, Okay, remember this movie, this will be Last Dame This.
I'm not sure if that was a theme song, but it was a main
song. And while you were sleeping the Sandra Bullock movie one of my favorite
rom coms of all time. So we had sort of a real life While
You Were Sleeping episode happened in New York City on Saturday afternoon. Somebody slipped
and fell onto the tracks of the subway system. Luckily, two police officers
were there standing on the platform when the guy fell, so one of the
officers jumped onto the tracks, just like in the movie when Sandra Bullock jumped
down to save the guy who she thought she loved. The officer pulled and
hoisted the unresponsive man off the tracks, and then a good Samaritan stepped in
and between the three of them, they were able to pull the man up
to safety just as the train arrived at the station. The guy, who's
twenty three years old, was taken to a hospital in an instable condition.
Love them Love good, good, happy ending stories. Voters in Ohio have
decided to guarantee access to abortion in their state constitution. Other election results saw
Kentucky Democratic Governor Andy Bursheer get reelected, and in Mississippi, Republican governor Tate
Reeves won re election. Thousands more Palestinians have fled northern Gaza on foot as
Israeli bombardment of the city continues. The UN says desperation is growing as food
and water supplies dwindle and shelling intensifies. The UN estimates so verse seventy percent
of Gaza's population of two point three million has already left the city. Five
Republicans who want to be president are going to be debating tonight in Miami.
It's the third GOP debate. On the stage will be Chris Christy, Ronda
Santis, Nikki Hailee Vivek Ramaswami, and Tim Scott former President Trump. It's
gonna skip it. He's by far the front runner, with more support than
all the other candidates combined at six so five. It's handled. On the
news, the House has slapped the hand of one of its own. Right
now, let's say good morning to the host of Rich on Tech right here
on KFI. It's Rich Demiro. Good morning, Rich, Hey, good
morning to you. Amy. So Ways is going to tell you if the
roads are not safe? Yeah. Ways, you know, is the app
that is now owned by Google. It's a great mapping app. But the
thing about Ways that's a little bit different than all the other ones is that
it kind of gives you more information about the drive that you're on, and
that include you know hazards in the road and accidents, and of course you
know police cameras. But now they're adding a new one. It's crash history
alerts. So if you're on a stretch of road that seems to have more
accidents than other stretches, it will warn you about that. So like PCH
where they have had several of those high speed and unfortunately deadly crashes, that
might give you a trigger. Yeah, that might do it. And they're
going to you know, if you travel the road very often, they're not
going to do these alerts as much. It's more for if you're in a
place that you don't typically travel. It's like kind of like, hey,
be careful around here, you know what else? I like, ways,
Yeah, tell me because I'm the voice of ways. Are you really Yeah?
Oh my gosh, I didn't know that that. How did I miss
that? That's okay, that is so cool. Yeah. So I always
say I can get you anywhere, and I love that it's adding these new
features. Yeah, it's great. Well, that's cool. I'll look for
your voice. Okay. So if your Apple Watch battery is going to down
too fast, I haven't had this issue, luckily, but apparently people are
having that issue, So what do they do to fix it? Yeah?
I haven't had this issue either, but apparently, and I do know,
you know, based on my kids at their school. They were like,
hey, my friend has an Apple Watch and the battery goes dead really fast.
I said, what, And sure enough, there is an issue with
a battery drain and overheating that some users have been reporting. And of course
this started with the new Watch OS ten, which recently launched. And so
now there is an update. Just a small thing. It's just one of
those things where it just update the software on your watch. It should help,
but it's one of those things that can be very frustrating if you're like,
I didn't do anything different to my watch, why is this happening?
All I did was update the software, and of course there was an issue,
and now it's fixed. I love it. I love it, and
I fix problems. So NASA, I love this idea, has a free
streaming service. It's launching. Yes, it launches today. It is called
NASA Plus. And I know what you're thinking, and Rich, I already
pay for too many streaming services. They're all getting more expensive. Yeah,
this one is free, so I guess technically this would be government money.
I don't know. It's NASA. I think it's pretty funded by the government,
So anyway, we're all paying for this, I guess. But anyway,
it is called NASA Plus. It launches today. It'll be on the
iPhone to be on Android, but you can also get out on the Roku,
on Apple TV, on Fire TV. And what is it going to
have. It's going to have original shows. So one of them is like
a mission to extract a sample from an asteroid that's traveling really fast, and
another one is based on images from the Space James James Webb Space Telescope.
So that's kind of cool. But my favorite amy is going to be this
this show called Space Out and they just put really beautiful images of space to
music. It's kind of like my new favorite screensaver. I love it.
You know. We were talking to Neil deGrasse Tyson and he has a new
book out to Infinity and Beyond, and in it it has some of the
pictures from the James Webb Telescope. They are i mean, like mind blowing,
how beautiful it is. Oh, I'm yeah, I can't wait to
see some of this stuff. I love space I'm fascinated by space and this
is gonna be a fun one. And since it's free, that makes it
kind of nice. You know. If it was like eight bucks a month,
I'd be like, uh, but free, I'll watch it. Oh,
keyt okay okay. And one last thing. We have earthquake apps on
our phone to alert us if an alert earthquake is coming, but apparently we
want to dump this one. Yeah, there is one that's been available for
about I think it's been like six or eight years. I first did a
story with them many many years ago. They're out of Santa Monica, and
they had this consumer app. It's called the Quake Alert USA. Early Warning
Labs is the company that makes it, but they are focusing on just corporate
users now, so just corporations. Basically, they make a bunch of hardware
that you can install inside schools and big buildings that will give like audible warnings
about earthquakes right before they happen. So they're focusing on that instead of the
consumer market. So the good news is there are alternative apps that will do
the same thing. But if you have the Quake Alert USA app, it
no longer works. You're not going to get any sort of alerts from that
app, so you can delete it from your phone. If you have an
iPhone, the app to get is called my Shake m y Sahak. It's
from Berkeley, and then if you're on Google you can download my Shake.
But they have Android. They have alerts built into Android for earthquakes, so
you can look at those in your settings. And then San Diego has their
own earthquake app as well, which they can download too, Okay, and
those are the ones that are supposed to give you like a five to thirty
second warning if shaking is imminent. Yeah, and people have have had,
you know, success with these apps in the past. Sometimes they work,
sometimes they don't. They've been tweaked over the years. They use that system
that we have that the Shake alert system. There's like I think they have
like eleven hundred sensors that they're trying to install, but you know, the
sensors sense it, they send it to the phones. Android does something on
top of that. They actually are measuring the shaking of people's phones that come
up with their own alerts as well. So phone has to be plugged in
and not moving, but you know, still it's it's progress, right,
yep, okay, my shake going to get it installed today. KTLA Tech
reporter Rich Demiro, host of rich on Tech. Right here on KFI.
You can listen to him Saturday is from eleven to two. You can also
follow Rich on Instagram at rich on Tech. His website is rich on tech
dot com actually dot tv for information on all the stuff we talked about and
a whole lot more. Thanks Rich, Thanks Amy, appreciate it. Talk
to you next week. Okay, when we come back, Amy's on it.
Another fabulous show has come to a close. What it is and whether
you need to invest in it. Also, we told you last week that
De Giorno is releasing a Thanksgiving pizza and it was going to be available on
Wednesdays up until Thanksgiving. Well, Nick Pouliochini and producer Keana and I were
all trying to keep her eye on it because we wanted to order one of
these frozen pizzas, because darn it, I'm getting one some way. Well,
they're going to be available today again, it's just at Dejorno dot com,
and Nick and I are both going to be on that to try to
get one so we can let you know if it's any good conflicting stories.
Ellie County investigators say they're getting different stories about what led to a sixty nine
year old Jewish man falling on the ground hitting his head during a dueling Israel
Palestinian rally in Ventura County. The man died Monday from blunt force trauma and
other injuries. Top G seven diplomats say they want to see humanitarian pauses in
Israel's bombardment of Gaza so AID can get into the Palestinians trapped on the strip.
The foreign ministers, including the US Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln, announced
a unified stance on the Israel AAMAS war after meetings in Tokyo. So far,
Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, says there will be no pauses until hostages
are released. Patrick Dempsey has been named People's Sexiest Man Alive for twere The
fifty seven year old actor best known for his role as Mick Dreamy Derek Shepard
on Grey's Anatomy. He says he'll use the platform to promote the Dempsey Center,
which he founded in honor of his late mom, to help cancer patients
and their families. What a wonderful thing At six Zho five it's handled on
the news. A lot of people are spending money they don't necessarily have.
At five point fifty, we're going to be talking to ABC's Jim Ryan.
Gotta love this one. When it comes to a job applicants, it's a
case of liar liar, pants on fire. Tell you more about that right
now. Aami's on it, Aami's on it, Amy's on it, Aami's
on it. What am I on? I'm on entertainment streaming shows, movies,
documentaries, series and one of my favorite series has now come to an
end. It's called Billions. It was on Showtime Now streaming on Paramount Plus.
It just wrapped up the sea and finale aired last week and they didn't
tell me until after after last week, before I had watched the show that
the show was coming to an end. So it was kind of sad,
but you know, it's been one of my favorite shows since the beginning.
Bobby Axelrod is the billionaire. He runs ax Capital. He's uh, of
course, he's played by Damian Lewis of Homeland Fame. He's a trader and
he and his minions make billions. And at first when the series first started,
I remember I was cheering for him because he was really rich. He
was married, he had kids, a good family life, he runs a
successful business, and you want him to be a good guy. But as
all billionaires are portrayed on TV, he ends up being kind of a bad
guy. But you're root for him anyway. And again, unlike Succession,
you like the characters and you can root for him even though they do some
nasty, unscrupulous things, but they do have redeeming qualities at least enough that
you want him to win at least I did. One thing that has always
been an issue for me, though, is that some of Ax's traders through
out the whole series seem to kind of be idiots, but they must be
making money for Axs and Michael Prince because they keep the idiots around. Again,
the show also stars Chuck Rhodes in the US Attorney's office. That's Paul
Giamatti, brilliant actor, so fun to watch. And then Wags is Bobby
Axelrod's right hand man becomes one of Prince's guys, David Constable, and you
may remember him from Suits. So this series, for the seventh season,
Ax has been disgraced sort of. He's left the country to avoid prosecution.
And the guy who took over for him is Michael Prince, and Michael Prince
is running for president, and so you see the show continues with two foes
joining forces for the greater good. There's lots of twists and turns and surprises,
and the show gives you hints and does a really good job of like
drawing you in, but it always keeps you guessing. I think it came
to a really nice close. Unlike some other series where they just kind of
stop, this one kind of tied everything up with a bow. If you
haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend that you watch Billions. If you
haven't watched season seven yet, the full season is now out and streaming on
Paramount Plus. If you watch some of it, watch the rest of it.
Great show. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Santa Ana wins are back. The
National Weather Services GUS up to sixty miles an hour and low humidity will affect
parts of La Orange and Ventura County starting this afternoon. Fire weather watch has
been issued and will remain in place until tomorrow night. And because of that
up to about seventy seventy three thousand people could lose power. They might do
power shutoffs to lower the risk of wildfires. Investigators are working to determine the
cause of a fire that destroyed one of two massive hangars in Tustin. It
was burning early yesterday morning. OC Fire Authority Captain Colin Crowley says dozens of
firefighters, water tenders, dozen dozers, and even a wildfire a helicopter did
water drops to try to put the fire out. World War Two era blimp
haanger that was used when this was Eltoral Airbase. It is still Navy land
their storic structure to anyone that is from the Orange County area. Crawleys's crews
were forced to fight the fire from the outside because of the size and imminent
danger. People gathered to watch throughout the day as large chunks of the wooden
roof collapsed. LA County Sheriff's homicide investigators are looking into the death of a
two year old in Palmdale. Deputies called to a home yesterday afternoon found a
toddler unresponsive. The child was pronounced dead at the hospital. Initial reports said
the toddler may have ingested Fentanel. The body of a twelve year old boys
been found in Canyon Country in the Santa Clarita area. The La County Sheriff's
Department says the boy was killed in an apparent shooting and found Monday on the
side of the road. They didn't figure out that it was a teenager or
a pre teenager until yesterday, the department says, trying to figure out if
the killing was gang related. The La City Councils called for an ordinance that
would require developers of new hotels to replace housing lost to hotel construction. The
law would also require hotels and short term rentals to get a police permit,
in a process that may involve public hearings, mandatory fingerprinting, background checks,
and more fees. It would also create a voluntary registry for hotels to notify
the city of vacant rooms that could be made afore available for the homeless.
A judge in La has surprised prosecutors in sensing a disbarred lawyer who filed the
class action lawsuit against the LADWP. Prosecutors asked for eighteen months of prison time
assist the US attorney Jamari Buckson says The judge yesterday sentence Paul Parody to nearly
three years and explain the longer sentencing was needed for Parody's conduct, which Jus
Bumenfeld said shattered public confidence. The city was being sued by LADWP customers who
were overbuilt. Prosecutors say in twenty fifteen, Parody and a city employee colluded
to finding an attorney to take over parodies glass action lawsuit and give the city
favorable terms. A sixty seven million dollars settlement was reached and Parody got a
more than two million dollar kickback from the attorney who took over. In La
Blake Trolley k if I News, you may have seen that there are cranes
around the California Science Center now as the cranes worked to lift two of the
solid rocket motors into an upright position. Remember, just not too long ago,
they were moved from Lancaster to the Science Center and took a trip down
the streets of LA which is sort of reminiscent of when Space Shuttle Endeavor made
the track through streets of downtown LA like eleven years ago. So it's really
cool what's going on now because they are preparing for the final exhibit the final
display of Space Shuttle Endeavor, where it's going to be placed from its current
flying position in a pavilion to an upright launch position. And Nick and I
went out to the California Science Center. So tomorrow about this time, we're
going to be telling you all about the Space Shuttle Endeavor, how you can
see it now, and if you don't go see it now, you're not
going to be able to see it for a few more years. But really
cool things going on at the Science Center that you I I would imagine it
would be worth your trip to go check it out. Sag After and studio
negotiators. We're at it for about ten hours yesterday. Negotiations are expected to
continue today as hope rises that an end to the one hundred and seventy seventeen
day strike could be close. The two sides are said to be getting close
to reaching an agreement on the use of artificial intelligence, which is one of
the major sticking points in the Libra talks. Thousands more Palestinians have fled northern
Gaza on foot as Israeli bombardment of the city continues. The UN says desperation
is growing as food and water supplies dwindle and shelling intensifies. The UN estimates
over seventy percent of Gaza's population of two point three million have already left the
city. Five of the Republicans who want to be your next president are debating
tonight in Miami. It's the third Republican debate. On the stage will be
Chris Christy, Ronda Santis, Nikki Hayley, Vivek Ramaswami, and Tim Scott.
Former President Trump's gonna skip it. He is by far the front runner,
with more support than all the other candidates combined. We're just minutes away
from handling the news this morning. The Santa Ana's are on their way,
which could leave a lot of people in the dark in southern California on purpose.
We'll tell you why right now. Let's say good morning to ABC News
correspondent Jim Ryan. Jim. Job seekers are cheating, they are what's going
on? Why why bother? I mean, you've got twice as many jobs
out there as people willing or able to work them open positions. So if
you don't get that job by being honest on your resume, then move on
to the next one. But why lie? But that's apparently amy what a
lot of people are doing. A company called Resume Lab, which I think
is based in California. I asked nineteen hundred people about this just a couple
of months ago to see and the question was pretty straightforward. Do you ever
lie on a resume? Yeah? Seven and ten say yeah, I lied
on resume. Not So it's not just maybe enhancing or it's like lying flat
out. It didn't ask for a definition that's talking about. I mean,
if you say I worked for such and such company for six years and three
months when it was actually six years and two months, you know, maybe
that's forgivable. Is it a lie? Maybe? Maybe not. But thirty
seven percent of the people who lie say they did so frequently. Another thirty
three percent say they lied once or twice, once or twice on the resume.
This is all from a survey of nineteen hundred people, so it's pretty
representative those who say they don't lie or didn't lie on a resume. That's
thirty percent of them. But fifteen percent of those say I didn't lie,
but I thought about it. Do we know, according to the survey,
like how many people got caught for lying? No? No, And you
have to assume that a lot of them kind of slipped by. It really
kind of depends on the size of the company. Amy a larger company,
an IBM or a Microsoft something like that, will do a very thorough background
check, and probably they already have some piece of AI in place that's going
to screen resumes that come into them and kick out the ones that just don't
qualify for whatever reason. Right, But once you get the hiring manager involved
and you have a human beings sitting there in front of you. But so
the big companies have ways of doing things. They pay for a background check,
criminal background check, they're going to reach out to previous employees. A
small company, you know, ten employees, it's trying just to stay ahead
and stay open, may not go through that kind of process. So smaller
ones are probably more susceptible to applicants who aren't telling the truth. I'm curious
as to whether if you're caught in a lie, you say you've been hired
and then they discover that you lied, can you overcome that or I wonder
if you lose your job, did they ask that at all or they did
Okay, yeah, they asked the employers about this, about the consequences of
someone who lied. And yeah, a lot of the companies say, we
have no tolerance. We're not going to we're not going to accept that,
and you will be fired. So liar, liar won't get hired. And
if that liar does get hired, that person could lose his or her job
if that person is caught. But again, I think it depends upon the
scale of the lie. If you lied about having a college degree, that's
a pretty big lie. But if you lied about again working at a place
for thirteen months instead of twelve months, as you did, then that might
be excusable. This was fascinated speaking of college degrees. According to this survey,
the higher education level of survey takers, the higher the incidents of lying.
Wait wait, wait, wait what what Wait? The higher the level
of education, the higher the lie or the more the higher the propensity to
lie. So if you have a master's or a doctoral degree, seventy three
percent of them free quently lie. Seventeen percent have lied once or twice.
So that's ninety percent of folks with some letters after their name, masters or
doctoral degrees who lied on a resume. People without a college degree only forty
nine percent frequently lie only forty nine percent. Yeah, and those with bachelor
degrees about forty percent lie. They're somewhere in the middle there, But it
was shocking to see that. PhDs masters, folks, those people are lying
on resumes. Why it's the way of the world these days. Maybe I
don't. I don't know. It's crazy and I don't get why you would
do it, because you're just setting yourself up. One, you have to
remember your lies, yeah, and then two, like you just said,
if you get caught in it, you could lose your job. So what's
the point. There's so many jobs out there? Why why? Yeah?
Right, Well, lying on the resume is one thing, But then if
you're sitting there in a n actual job interview, the same serving asked,
have you ever lied during a job interview in front of a person? Yeah?
Forty four percent say they lie frequently, Okay. Another thirty six percent
say they lied once or twice. Only two of them say they didn't lie
to a job interviewer. I wouldn't say, I mean you embellish or you
know, you put yourself in a positive light hopefully, Yeah, but lying
it just it just doesn't It doesn't seem like it's worth it. No,
I think you're right, because you have to remember those lies and you have
to keep them straight and realize the consequences of getting caught. But yeah,
that's that's the main thing that people do. Embellish responsibilities in general from their
previous jobs andbellish responsibilities and then job titles. You know. The most most
serious thing, of course, is lying about a criminal background, right seeing
you didn't have that conviction for whatever crime. And if it's a big enough
company, they're going to find out and you could be blacklisted from all sorts
of companies. So don't be a liar, liar of pants on fire negative,
All right, do it? Thanks Jim Ryan, appreciate it. See
me. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. The Israel US war has been top of mind for
political leaders. At the G seven meeting in Japan, US Secretary of State
Anthony Blinken spoke about transitioning periods after the war and the emergence of a Palestinian
state. Yaza cannot continue to be run by hamas that simply invites a repetition
of October seventh and Gazi uses a place from which to launch terrorist attacks.
It's also clear that Israel cannot occupy Gaza. The G Seven leaders, after
meetings, put forward a resolution saying they want to see humanitarian pauses so AID
can get into the Gaza strip. Blincoln is headed next to Seoul, South
Korea, and then New Delhi, India. The Ely Kenny Sheriff's Department has
confirmed the deaths of one retired and three current members of the department within a
twenty four hour period this week. The first death was discovered Monday morning in
Valencia. The others were in Lancaster, Stevenson, Ranch, and Pomona.
No details of the deaths were released, but at least two have been reported
as suicides. Ivanka Trump is expected on the witness stand in New York in
the civil fraud trial against the Trump family business. State attorneys have sought her
testimony as Ivanka Trump has been in her father's inner circle in both business and
politics, while she's claimed to know little about her father's financial statements. ABC's
Mark Remillard says Ivanka's father and two brothers have already testified she had She's been
dismissed as a defendant in the Attorney General's lawsuit. The lawsuit claims that asset
values were fraudulently pumped up for years on financial statements to help get better loans
and insurance for Trump. He denies any wrongdoing. You might be in denial
about this, but next time you go to a hotel, it could be
really dirty. There is a new swab test has been done by waterfillerguru dot
com and also some other tests were done about how dirty the hotel rooms are.
And apparently even the most luxurious hotels have germy services, especially in bathrooms
and high traffic areas as they call them. A swab test found that surfaces
of home shares like an airbnb and hotel bathrooms could be as germy as toilet
seats, pet bowls, and kitchen sinks. That sounds appetizing. This one
TikTok Chick says that the best thing to do if you're going to go to
a hotel room is take about fifteen minutes to wipe down high touch surfaces with
disinfectant wipes before you settle in. And they said to do like the light
switches and the remote controls. And here are some expert tips on how to
clean your hotel room without messing with your vacation. One, it says to
avoid touching your face. Yeah, fat chance that's going to happen. Two,
wash your hands a lot, which don't We all still do that a
lot after the pandemic. I still do invest in to go disinfectant wipes and
travel size sanitizing spray. So, like I said, you can do the
wipe down. When you get into your room. You can ask fresh sheets.
You know, they don't change them all the time now because they want
to be environmentally sensitive, but you can ask for them, and I love
if you. Actually I hate this one. But the last expert tip is
don't use the coffee maker or the glasses. I love the coffee maker in
hotel rooms. It's my favorite part. This is KFI and kost HD two
