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 --> 00:00:16.239 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI had KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:26.480 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. That's 4 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:31.160 right, it's time. It's five o'clock. This is your wake up call 5 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:37.119 for Monday, November sixth. Good morning, I'm Amy King. I hope 6 00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:42.359 you had a great weekend. So it's headed into work this morning and was 7 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.840 locking the door, and because I decorate for every holiday, I have these 8 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.679 little pumpkins like lining my walkway. Something's eating them there. I was like, 9 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.479 well, that's weird, and there's like these big bite marks out of 10 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.240 the pumpkins. I'm thinking it's the possums in the area. You don't have 11 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.920 raccoons, d I don't think it's raccoons, I think, And they say, 12 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.920 like, don't leave food out because raccoons like if you leave cat food 13 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:08.040 out for them, they'll come back and come back. So I'm like, 14 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.200 should I take the pumpkins away? But think of the possums that are there 15 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:17.040 anyway. So I guess if I can feed a postum, it's a good 16 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.640 day because they eat bugs. Possums are good. They're weird looking, but 17 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.079 they're good. Also, speaking of pumpkins, had a fabulous pumpkinhead chi latte. 18 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.879 Over the weekend, we were out in Claremont. We went to this 19 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.719 place called revd Up. I put a post on on my Instagram at amy 20 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.840 Kay King Delicious, and I got gas while I was out there. Fifty 21 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.200 cents a gallon cheaper than here in La County. Fifty cents almost makes it 22 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.439 worth driving out there just to fill up. And then as I was heading 23 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.680 home. You gotta love this. I don't know if this has happened to 24 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.640 you recently, but I'm about to get on the freeway at an intersection. 25 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.280 Someone comes up behind behind me and hits me, not hard, just a 26 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.959 little tap tap, hits the bumper like oh man, and so I pull 27 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.719 over. We both get out of our car and I'm like, don't inflate 28 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:13.039 the situation or inflame the situation. Diffuse and I'm like hi, and she 29 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.759 was so nice and she goes it was totally my fault. I was looking 30 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.400 the other direction and I'm like, that's okay, and I was like, 31 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.759 you know what, this was so great because one there was no damage to 32 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:23.400 the car, so that's great. But she's like, do you want to 33 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.240 exchange phone numbers just in case? And I said, yeah, everything looks 34 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.360 fine. And so thank you to Melanie in the unlikely Jane that you are 35 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.439 up and about at this moment in time. But it was just so refreshing 36 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.879 because everybody's so supercharged right now that it was just like this chill thing, 37 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.800 like, hey, yeah, this happened and we're okay. So maybe it's 38 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:47.039 just the people in the ie are nicer. Melanie's nice, melaniell okay, 39 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:53.639 so not everybody. Okay, here's what's ahead on wake up call. Two 40 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.360 people have been killed when a mini van crashed into a metrobus in downtown La 41 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.319 but least say they were chase. Seeing the minivan yesterday morning was apparently trying 42 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.120 to take off just off the ten Freeway when the crash happened. Two people 43 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.960 in the backseat of the minivan were killed. The two others inside were taken 44 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:15.039 to the hospital. Israeli troops are expected to enter Gaza City in mass either 45 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:20.840 today or tomorrow. Gaza health official'll say Israeli airstrikes hit two refugee camps yesterday 46 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.479 in the Central Gaza Strip. Israel is rejecting a push by the US to 47 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:30.759 take a humanitarian pause. Tyson is recalling nearly thirty thousand pounds of dinosaur shaped 48 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:37.479 chicken nuggets. Several people have reported finding small pieces of metal in the nuggets. 49 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.680 The recall is on Tyson's twenty nine ounce bags of fun Nuggets. You 50 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:45.199 can return them to the store where you bought them at six oh five. 51 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.199 It's handle on the news. Donald Trump expected to take the stand today in 52 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:52.039 his fraud trial in New York. Let's get started with some of the stories 53 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.080 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A person has been hurt 54 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.560 in a crash between a car and a Blue Line train in South la. 55 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.759 The fire department say the crash last night caused the car to flip over one 56 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.800 person got trapped inside. That person was taken to the hospital in serious condition. 57 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.680 A nineteen year old woman and two other teens have been arrested in Riverside 58 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.560 County for allegedly stealing about two thousand dollars worth of stuff from a store in 59 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.439 the Lake Elsinore area. Deputy say the trio was busted Thursday when they returned 60 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.879 to the store for a second time the same day to take more stuff. 61 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.519 Deputy say an investigation turned up more than ten thousand dollars worth of stolen items 62 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.079 from several stores in Riverside County. The laped is mourning the death of an 63 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:35.279 off duty officer killed in a high speed crash in Northridge. Foster Cunningham is 64 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:42.600 survived vi fiance and a six year old and three year old young boy, 65 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:48.319 young boys, a mother, and two other brothers. Police Chief Morses Officer 66 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:54.879 Darryl Cunningham was driving on Lindley Avenue early Saturday, crossing Roscoe Boulevard when his 67 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.120 car was hit by a driver going about one hundred miles per hour. The 68 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.240 officer's front seat passenger was also so killed. Three people in the backseat were 69 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:05.519 hurt, including an off duty San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputy. Chief mor says 70 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:10.120 the twenty year old driver who caused the crash appeared to be under the influence 71 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.759 of alcohol. He's in the hospital in critical condition. A section of Sunset 72 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.560 Sunset Beach in Huntington Beach has been closed because of an injured whale and reports 73 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:25.360 of aggressive shark activity. The shark and whale sightings were reported yesterday afternoon. 74 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:30.759 People say they saw splashing and the shark activity before the whale washed ashore. 75 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.160 The beaches are going to be closed for forty eight hours. Good morning to 76 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:40.480 ABC's Tom Rivers. Tom as the war rages on. Ukraine is still pushing 77 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:44.160 to get into the EU. Of course we don't hear about Ukraine a whole 78 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.920 lot, but let's find out what the latest is from you. Yeah. 79 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:53.199 Over the weekend we had the European Commission President Ersa the Slavander lyon. It 80 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:59.199 was her sixth trip to Kiev and again kind of turning the super tanker. 81 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:04.519 Around two years ago, Ukraine was the by definition most corrupt country in the 82 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:10.920 world. Her assessment now is pretty glowing. You know, they've dealt with 83 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:15.360 the corruption, they dealt with judicial reforms, and they're doing a really great 84 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.839 job. And she's kind of putting together report. There will be yet another 85 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:26.600 EU meeting next month on possible talks and when and how Ukraine will become a 86 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.720 member of the European Union and how big a chunk of land it'll be. 87 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:36.879 Then it might be twenty percent less than there was two years ago, okay, 88 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:43.800 and what would joining the EU do for Ukraine, certainly help in trade 89 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:50.000 negotiations, in cutting down on tariffs, the ability to move around Europe, 90 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:56.800 certainly in the Shangan area without passport controls, et cetera, et cetera. 91 00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:01.000 So there's a heck of a lot of economic and trade incentives for Ukraine to 92 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:08.639 eventually get into the Club of twenty seven. Okay. And if they oh, 93 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.040 so you just said it wouldn't be till like twenty twenty seven. Now 94 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.199 the Club of twenty seven nations would be the twenty eighth nation. So yeah, 95 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.839 so we don't we don't know what year this would happen. And you 96 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:24.319 know, how long is a piece of string. Again, the war has 97 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.120 to end first, so yeah, it's not gonna happen in ten days. 98 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.040 Okay, So there's no definitive timeline, but they have said that the war 99 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.480 needs to be over before they'll consider this. Well, it certainly looks that 100 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:41.519 way, you go, And again on that one, it's an interesting sideline 101 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.240 on if you caught it's toward the end of last week one of these crank 102 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:53.160 calls, This one caught the Italian Prime Minister Maloney off guard, and she 103 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:57.639 she admitted, thought it was a legitimate interview, and she said, yeah, 104 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.759 there's there's fatigue in Europe. You know, Italy is tottering again and 105 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.879 having economic problems like it had in two thousand and eight, Germany's in recession, 106 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.560 Netherlands in recession, the UK is almost there too, So there's real 107 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.600 fatigue of being you know, standing in line and saying yep, we're all 108 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:20.480 united because Biden says were united, and most of Europe is saying enough's enough, 109 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:22.800 We've done what we can do. It is what it is. If 110 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.279 Ukraine does get into the EU, does that help them in their bid to 111 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.600 join NATO? Or are they just two completely separate things kind of kind of 112 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.519 yeah, apples and oranges. The real question would be what geographically what does 113 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.000 Ukraine look like? Assuming there's me peace talks, who knows fill in the 114 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.519 blank a year or two from now, what is Ukraine going to look like? 115 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.799 Will it be by definition neutral? Will it be in NATO? There 116 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:56.360 are a myriad of questions that have to be to be hammered out. Russia 117 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.679 wouldn't like probably Ukraine joining either club, But of the two, the more 118 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.639 bitter pill would eat to or Ukraine to join join NATO. So yeah, 119 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.440 This is talking hypothetically down the road somewhere. We're certainly not there yet and 120 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.320 there's gonna be many many steps to get there. But yes, in one 121 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:22.480 regard, maybe, just maybe it's inching closer to inclusion in the European Union. 122 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.360 Okay, And you mentioned the more precarious one is NATO, because then 123 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.679 that becomes an attack on one, is an attack on all? Right? 124 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:31.639 Oh yeah, very much so, very much so. So. Yeah. 125 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.519 You know, we poured in ungodly amounts of money into Ukraine, and Ukraine 126 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:41.120 is not a member of NATO. You know that is not that has been 127 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.679 maybe an easier sell in America, has not been an easy sell in Europe. 128 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.440 Okay, And you mentioned that we have poured tons of tons of money 129 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.919 into Ukraine. Do we have any kind of idea because I know that there's 130 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.720 a lot of people saying, hey, there's no accountability. Do we know 131 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.159 how much of that money has been used or is there any left or are 132 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.000 they just plowing through it or do we even know? Well, there was 133 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.159 a US individual that can't, off the top of my head remember his name, 134 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:13.000 that was over there looking into that He sadly passed away. The short 135 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.879 answer is and there's been anecdotal evidence too, a wash in weaponry. Some 136 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.639 of the smaller weapons that can be carried in by hand are showing up on 137 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:28.559 a black market and they certainly are used in places like them at least. 138 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.200 So again, there's another problematic, if you will, tertiary problem in that 139 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:39.639 you go down this road giving everything to Ukraine and not everything goes into the 140 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.240 arms of a Ukrainian soldier. It's sold on to third parties who could, 141 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.440 in theory use them against Israel if this thing were to escalate, use them 142 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:56.960 against the US. So yes, another haunting problem of going in full blast 143 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.360 and not knowing what your exit strategy is. And you there are a wash 144 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.840 in different parts of the world that with weaponry that you don't want to be 145 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.000 there. Yeah, And it's just it's so amazing that you know that this, 146 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.559 the whole Ukraine conflict war was so top of mind, and then if 147 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.120 you know, a month ago, once the Hamas Israel, things started just 148 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.559 shift focus shift, and I was I was even going, man, I 149 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.200 got to talk to Tom because we haven't heard what's going on in Ukraine for 150 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.720 weeks. If the University of probably doing content analysis on this actually started before, 151 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.039 before Israel and Gaza. But as soon as you know that this was 152 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.840 the counter offensive that really didn't happen. A lot of column inches in papers, 153 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:50.320 a lot of space on television and radio in America really really cut down. 154 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.919 It's hard to be if you were in the camp of being a cheerleader, 155 00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:01.360 to cheer something that isn't happening, and that was happening before we had 156 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.320 the problems in the middle least. Yeah, all right, well, Tom 157 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.200 Rivers, thanks you'd forgiving it, giving us the latest early this morning, 158 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.360 and have a wonderful day and we'll talk to you soon. Big care, 159 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.320 All right, take care. Let's get back to some of the stories coming 160 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.960 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Screen Actors Guild is considering 161 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.200 the so called last, best and final offer from the major Hollywood studios. 162 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.559 The two sides met over several days to try to end the strike that started 163 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.159 in July. The strike was called over issues like streaming residuals and the use 164 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.960 of artificial intelligence. A man accused of firing off fifteen to twenty gun shots 165 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.200 into the floor of his apartment in downtown Los Angeles has been arrested. This 166 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:43.360 neighbor says he was a little I'm sorry. He says, the shots were 167 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:48.679 a little unsettling. Certainly, things like this happening inside my own building aren't 168 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.399 something that don't think anyone want that. I'm just glad nobody got hurt. 169 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.720 The man's neighbor says the guy served in the military and works in the gun 170 00:12:54.759 --> 00:13:00.159 business. The man initially refused to surrender to police yesterday. That prompt did 171 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.879 an evacuation of the fifty unit building. Police say the guy climbed out a 172 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.200 window and gave up about an hour later. Police did a search of the 173 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.720 apartment and found several guns, including assault rifles, ammunition, tactical gear, 174 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.799 and camouflage outfits. Orange County supervisors have approved a contract to provide maintenance and 175 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.559 upgrades to the county's crime lab equipment. The Orange County Crime Lab will get 176 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:26.000 a tune up for its equipment, including genetic analyzers, magnetic particle processors, 177 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.399 rapid DNA, and real time polimerase chain reaction instruments. OC Supervisor board chair 178 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.320 Don Wagner says the more than two hundred thousand dollars contract approved last week will 179 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.320 ensure the vital process of collecting evidence involves the most up to date technology to 180 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:45.360 catch, investigate, and convict criminals and keep communities safe. In Orange County, 181 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.240 Corbin Carson k if I News, about eleven hundred people have been able 182 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.879 to leave the gaza stripped through the RAFA crossing since last Wednesday under an agreement 183 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.799 between the US, Egypt, Israel, and Cutter, which mediates with Hamas. 184 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.240 The RAFA crossing is a parent only been closed again. ABC's Jordana Miller 185 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.480 is in Israel. She's going to bring us the latest in about a minute, 186 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.519 sag after says it will mole over what the Hollywood studios have called their 187 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.120 best, last and final offer to end the one hundred and fourteen day long 188 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.399 actor strike. The proposal reportedly includes more residuals for popular streaming shows, protections 189 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:24.480 against AI, and the highest increase in overall residuals in forty years. Former 190 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.840 President Trump's scheduled to take the stand in the Trump Organization's civil fraud trial in 191 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.919 New York today. The family business is accused of inflating its wealth to get 192 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.120 better loans. Ivanka Trump will testify Wednesday at six oh five. It's handle 193 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.759 on the news. Some deposits were delayed at banks all over the US over 194 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.679 the weekend. We'll tell you why. But right now, as I mentioned, 195 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.639 let's say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, there 196 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.759 were people getting out through the Rafa crossing from the Gaza Strip into Egypt, 197 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:58.960 but that has changed. Apparently it was closed over the weekend. The good 198 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.519 news is that we have just learned the rough of border crossing has just opened 199 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:11.559 a short while ago for people foreign nationals, Americans, injured gossens to get 200 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:18.240 through the crossing and out of the Gaza Strip where the fighting is just intensifying 201 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:24.120 each day. This is really good news because people have been essentially trapped there 202 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:31.519 for weeks and unable to get out because of these very sensitive negotiations that have 203 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:37.720 to go on between comeas Egypt, Israel, the United States, the un 204 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.320 You know, there's security checks for each person on the list, and then 205 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.960 there's the logistics of getting through the crossing while also AID trucks are coming in. 206 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.159 About seventy five AID trucks got in yesterday. We're hoping at least the 207 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:58.200 same number come in today. As you know, clean water and food and 208 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.879 medical supplies are dwindling in the strip, still no fuel getting in. Israel 209 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.360 is adamant that it will not allow fuel in because it fears Hamas will steel 210 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:15.879 those stockpiles or aid of a fuel and use it to keep its tunnel network 211 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:22.840 going. I remember it has very sophisticated tunnels with ventilation and lighting and heating 212 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:27.200 and all the rest. So that is one of the sticking points between Israel 213 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:32.279 and the international community. But this is good news. God willing some more 214 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.480 Americans will get out today. And do we know why it was closed over 215 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:41.039 the weekend, Well, it was close in part, I believe in response 216 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:48.759 to the Israeli strike on an ambulance Friday that killed fifteen people near the Alshava 217 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:53.679 Hospital. Israel claims that this ambulance was part of a convoy heading to the 218 00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:00.399 Rafa border crossing. They say they had intelligence that Hamas militant fighters terrorists were 219 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:07.359 hiding inside the ambulance. It has been the case in previous wars that Hamas 220 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:15.400 has used ambulances to transfer its fighters throughout the Gaza Strip and move arms and 221 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.240 even try to get some of its leaders to you know, across the border 222 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.839 to flee and escape. So it wasn't an accident. It appears that it 223 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.400 was targeted. Now if it if it was a mistrike, not an accident, 224 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:33.160 right, so yeah, if it had been, Israel admits it makes 225 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:40.759 mistakes. Correct or do they admit and it makes mistakes? No, it 226 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.680 does. It does. I mean in every conflict, Israel ends up admitting 227 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.240 where it makes mistakes because war is an imperfect science, right, and there's 228 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:55.960 there's going to be mistakes. For example, last night, a rocket from 229 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:02.440 Lebanon killed an Israeli civilian. Israel responded and hit a civilian car that it 230 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.319 believed was carrying militants. It was not. It was carrying a grandmother and 231 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.519 her three kids. That appears to have been a mistake. That the Israeli 232 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:17.440 Army hasn't put out a statement yet that they are telling and they're preparing the 233 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:23.200 press for that announcement. So Israel does make mistakes. It is doing all 234 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:29.720 that it feels it possibly can under war to try to protect civilians. Today 235 00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.119 it has secured evacuation routes from the north to the south. Some of those 236 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:38.440 routes in the past have been attacked by Hamas they've attacked Israelis trying to keep 237 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:44.400 them safe. They've attacked Gosins who are trying to flee south and we have 238 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:48.519 to remember the Gaza Strip is run by a terrorist organization. One of its 239 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.519 leaders just said a few days ago, Hey, we take care of our 240 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.079 own people, the civilians. That's up to the UN, I mean, 241 00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.559 which gives you an idea of how Hamas operates. They don't feel responsible for 242 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:06.880 all the Gosins and you know that live in the strip, and certainly most 243 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:11.480 of them do not support come off, so they could never even you know, 244 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:18.599 express descent or ask for accountability or anything because it is it is a 245 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.079 it's a terrorist dictatorship in the Gaza Strip. Yeah, you know, I 246 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:25.839 was watching All the Light we cannot see over the weekend. It's a new 247 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:30.000 show on I think it's on Netflix. I can't remember, but it is. 248 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.400 It's set in World War two and in the show, the Allies are 249 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.160 dropping leaflets and telling people to get out, and it made me think of 250 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.319 Israel, because the Germans were blocking the exits out of the city and the 251 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.759 Allies are dropping leaflets saying we're going to start bombing. You got to get 252 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.839 out, and it just reminded me of what's happening in Israel or actually in 253 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.000 the Gaza strip. Now, yeah, yeah, that's what I mean, 254 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.799 that's what Israel's doing. It's dropping leaflets, it's putting onto in Arabic, 255 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:03.519 it's breaking into radio signals and putting messages, it's sending text messages, it's 256 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.960 putting things on social media. I mean, you know, Israel actually delayed 257 00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:14.880 its ground offensive because of the civilian population. That was one of the major 258 00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.119 factors. Everyone was saying, why aren't the Israelis going in yet, what's 259 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:21.839 happening? Well, there were other factors. You know, the United States 260 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:27.079 also needed to get its self in certain positions and you know, protect American 261 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.880 assets. Should Hazballah have jumped in, you know, and they still may 262 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.839 and whyden this conflict. But part of the calculation was we need to try 263 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:40.720 to get as many civilians out of Gaza City. That is going to be 264 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.359 the main focus of the first part of the war because that is a Hamas 265 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.720 stronghold. And you know, so far, the Australian Armies says they believe 266 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:56.920 about seven hundred thousand people have gone south. That still leaves three hundred thousand 267 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.839 people in the area of Gaza City. So you know there are people that 268 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:06.799 are that are getting caught in the fire storm. All right, well, 269 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:11.200 we will continue to watch ABC Stero Dana Miller in Jerusalem. Thank you so 270 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.880 much for the update this morning. Thanks so much. Let's get back to 271 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:18.319 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. 272 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.079 A wildfire, the burn nearly twenty five hundred acres in Awanga, east of 273 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.000 Temecula, has been surrounded. Evacuation orders and road closures were lifted yesterday. 274 00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.559 The fire started near a home a week ago. The exact cause is being 275 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:34.240 investigated. The fire destroyed thirteen buildings and damaged three. Two firefighters were hurt. 276 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:38.440 Three boys have been stabbed at an apartment complex in Thousand Oaks. The 277 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:42.000 three teams were near the community pooled in the complex when the stabbings happened. 278 00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.920 The Ventura County Sheriff's Department says the attacks happened just before nine Saturday night, 279 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.359 and an immediate motive isn't clear, though the department said it received multiple nine 280 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.519 to one one calls about a fight in the eight hundred block of Saint Charles 281 00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:57.920 Drive, where the complex is located. Investigators the same moments before the deputies 282 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:03.240 arrived, five six males ran away from the area. The three boys who 283 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.759 were attacked are fourteen to seventeen years old and received severe stab wounds, but 284 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.920 are expected to fully recover. Steve Gregory k if I News jury selection is 285 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.480 set to begin in San Francisco in the federal trial of the man accused of 286 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:22.160 attacking Paul Pelosi. David Depap is facing attempted kidnapping charges for the attack on 287 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.200 then house speaker Pelosi's husband last fall. Pelosi was attacked in his home with 288 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:32.079 a hammer. Prosecutors said to Pap told police he wanted to confront Nancy Pelosi 289 00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:37.480 and break her knee caps if she lied. Two people have been killed in 290 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.559 a minivan crash with a metro bus in downtown LA. Police say they were 291 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.799 chasing the minivan yesterday afternoon, just off the ten Freeway when it crashed. 292 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:49.720 Actually it was yesterday morning. Two people in the backseat of the minivan were 293 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.920 killed. The other two were taken to the hospital. Israeli troops are expected 294 00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:59.559 to enter Gaza City in mass either today or tomorrow. Gaza health officials say 295 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:03.839 is Israeli airstrikes hit two refugee camps yesterday in the Central Gaza Strip. Israel 296 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:08.359 is rejecting a push by the US to take a humanitarian pause. The University 297 00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:15.279 of Southern California football program is cutting ties with defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. He 298 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:21.319 took a lot of heat during USC's poor defensive performance, ranking one hundred eighteenth 299 00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:26.000 in run defense and one hundred nineteenth in total defense. Cono, you're excited 300 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.119 about that, oh man. It was a very sad loss, but a 301 00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.759 very good win for USC fans with him being gone, okay, and there 302 00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:36.039 you have it, sports goober, Cono. At six oh five, it's 303 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.119 handle on the news. The US has sent a guided missile submarine to the 304 00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.279 Middle East. Is that a signal of strength or a signal that things are 305 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.240 about to get worse? We'll be talking about it. At five point fifty. 306 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.279 We're going to be talking with a B expert from UC San Diego about 307 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.160 a really sad thing that happened recently in Southern California. Three million b's just 308 00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:56.720 up and died and try to find out why. Right now, let's say 309 00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.599 good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, we're a year out from the 310 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:06.759 election and Americans are not at all happy with anybody in the government. Well, 311 00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:08.519 that's right. And this ABC News IPSOS poll that we're talking about this 312 00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.519 morning shows that three quarters of the country beliefs were heading in the wrong direction 313 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:17.079 seventy six percent. Just twenty three percent in our survey they we're heading in 314 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:19.279 the right direction. And when you couple the results of this survey with others 315 00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:22.359 that have come out in the last forty eight hours, you get some very 316 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.640 worrisome signs for the president's hopes of winning a second term. The New York 317 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:33.720 Times Siena College poll has Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden in five of the 318 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.920 six key swinging states that are pivotal to any presidential election. The five are 319 00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:42.799 Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, where the New York 320 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.119 Times Siena College survey has Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden by anywhere from four 321 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.599 to ten points if the election were held today. And it's not being held 322 00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:55.799 today, but if it were, these survey results show that Donald Trump could 323 00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:59.920 win the presidential election. Now, all the necessary caveats are important to air 324 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.480 and say. Now it is a year before the election. Surveys a year 325 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:06.839 before the election are not necessarily the predictive of the outcome. There's plenty of 326 00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:10.720 time for the candidates to make their cases to the American people, and lots 327 00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.920 of things can happen between now and then. In particular, Donald Trump could 328 00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.799 find himself a convicted felon before the next election, and that could certainly change 329 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.599 the dynamic. Yeah, you would think that it would so. But now, 330 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:27.759 this isn't the first poll now showing that Trump could beat Biden. So 331 00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:32.119 I know that a lot of times when a first poll comes out, they 332 00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:34.839 go, oh, it's an outlier. Is this showing a pattern? Yes, 333 00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.319 And that's why it's worrisome for the Biden campaign. It probably lines up 334 00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:44.400 with their own internal polling. These surveys from ABC, CBS, the New 335 00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:48.359 York Times consistently show that Americans are concerned about the economy, about inflation, 336 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:51.480 and they're looking to the incumbent president to say, well, all right, 337 00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:55.200 what are you going to do about it? The CBS News poll that came 338 00:25:55.200 --> 00:26:00.160 out yesterday indicates that by nearly thirty points, Americans believe that Donald Trump has 339 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.720 better ideas on how to improve their economic condition than Joe Biden. Today, 340 00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:11.079 the president goes to Wilmington, Delaware, to tout his administration's efforts to improve 341 00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.400 the nation's infrastructure, in particular the rail lines on his beloved Amtrak. He's 342 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:19.759 going to call it the most significant investment made in Amtrak since the railroads founding 343 00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:25.599 five decades ago. But the survey indicates that Americans do not have the sense 344 00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:30.799 the confidence that the White House believes they ought to have about this idea that 345 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.720 biden Omics is working for them. The White House would argue, well, 346 00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.359 it takes time, and people need to understand and appreciate all the things that 347 00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:40.960 have been done, and so many things are beyond the President's control, and 348 00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.319 he's really working to reduce prices and help Americans afford the things they need in 349 00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:51.480 the face of unprecedented Republican obstruction, they would say, But the surveys frankly 350 00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:55.640 indicate on the whole, particularly and you see in the erosion of black and 351 00:26:55.720 --> 00:27:00.880 Hispanic voters away from Joe Biden. Tore Donald Trump that on key table issues, 352 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.799 Americans doubt that Joe Biden has the right ideas for them. Okay, 353 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.000 and it's not I was just going to ask you, who, what are 354 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.720 the groups that are swinging away because man, they got to hate Biden a 355 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.039 lot to go over to Trump because Trump is very disliked at all. Well, 356 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.279 and our poll indicates just the deep on popularity of both these men. 357 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.680 Americas are not particularly interested in the rematch between Biden and Trump, but that 358 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.799 looks like what they're going to get. Donald Trump is a sixty percent unfavorable 359 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.880 rating in our survey. Joe Biden is a fifty percent unfavorable rating. The 360 00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:33.440 favorable bulls. Only about a third of the country, respectively, has a 361 00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.359 positive view of either man, and a third of voters say that they would 362 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:42.039 rather vote for somebody else. Some way of interpreting other surveys would indicate that 363 00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:47.240 even more people would rather the choice be someone other than Joe Biden or Donald 364 00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.640 Trump for their respective parties. But look, at the end of the day, 365 00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:56.759 unless an alternative emerges, elections are generally binary choices, and there are 366 00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:03.839 several reasons why people make their decisions, and there are lots of external factors 367 00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:08.759 that a situation going on overseas. You could look at individual issues domestically, 368 00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:14.559 abortion is a key motivator. Will be looking tomorrow at the state legislative races 369 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.440 in the state of Virginia, where abortion is very much top of mind, 370 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:22.039 and we'll see if that motivates more Democrats to come out in an off off 371 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:25.880 year election to elect a state legislature that might be less inclined to do with 372 00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:29.640 the Republican governor of Virginia would like, which is imposed a fifteen week abortion 373 00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.119 ban. So there are lots of things, plus the idea, as I 374 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:41.240 mentioned earlier, of Joe Biden running against a potentially convicted felon the idea that 375 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:44.480 Donald Trump stands accused of more than ninety criminal counts. Today he's in a 376 00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:49.720 New York City courtroom to talk about how he didn't commit financial fraud in the 377 00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:53.039 way that the state Attorney General in New York says that he did. And 378 00:28:53.119 --> 00:29:00.640 so the concerns about democracy and what Donald Trump would do if he were and 379 00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.839 the Washington Post over the weekend had a baffo story about how Donald Trump, 380 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:08.160 if he had his brothers and becomes president again, would possibly send the military 381 00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.839 into American cities and voting the Insurrection Act, that he would weaponize the Justice 382 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.920 Department to not just go after his political opponents on the other side of the 383 00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:18.960 aisle, but those who were working for him in his White House, people 384 00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:25.039 like his former chief of staff John Kelly, who have since been sharply critical 385 00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:29.079 of Donald Trump. So there are a lot of factors that will go into 386 00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:33.680 people's decisions between now and next year. But today's survey results indicate that the 387 00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:37.000 situation is worrisome for the White House and the Biden campaign. Yeah, and 388 00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:41.440 I think it'll be interesting too to see if it is those two, what 389 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:45.680 voter turnout is going to be like, because you know, at the last 390 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:51.119 election, people were maybe voting some were voting for but some were voting against 391 00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:55.079 the other guy. But this time, if everybody's like I don't want this 392 00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.440 person, are they going to turn out at all? Well, look, 393 00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.799 I think you know, the idea of a disaffect did electorate is certainly something 394 00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.160 that will come into play. Both sides will do their best to really ramp 395 00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:08.200 up their bases. I think Joe Biden seeing some of his base eroad is 396 00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:12.480 particularly worrisome for him when it comes to turn out relative to twenty twenty one. 397 00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.680 Thing you have to keep in mind is that the twenty twenty election happened 398 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.119 in the middle of the COVID pandemic, a number of people voted by mail 399 00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:22.559 in areas where they might not otherwise vote by mail, So we'll see if 400 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:27.680 that has an impact. Apples to Apple's comparisons are tough to draw in a 401 00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:32.160 circumstance like that, but I think you're right to say that in twenty twenty, 402 00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.079 a number of people did come out to vote against the then incumbent Donald 403 00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:41.559 Trump because they were perhaps exhausted by all of the trump Ism that was in 404 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.039 our politics that he was leading. And we'll see if that plays a factor. 405 00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.400 I don't think Americans have forgotten that, but I think that the present 406 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.599 economic concerns and the idea that Joe Biden simply doesn't have. This again, 407 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.720 it's just a concept, not criticism, but the concept that Americans are voicing 408 00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:00.079 is that Joe Biden doesn't have the right ideas for how to turn things around 409 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.759 economically at a time of high interest rates and high inflation. Even as it's 410 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:07.720 cooling, prices are still higher than they were. We're not in a deflationary 411 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.920 cycle where prices are coming down. When you hear about inflation easing, it's 412 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.799 the prices are continuing to increase, just at a slower and more normal rate. 413 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.880 Yeah, and Stephen Cranberry sauce for this Thanksgiving is up sixty percent this 414 00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:22.920 year. Well, there you have it right, Thank you so much, 415 00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:29.400 ABC's Stephen Portnoy. You can follow Stephen at Stephen Portnoy. Have a great 416 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.519 day. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 417 00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:34.839 twenty four hour newsroom. Hate crimes are on the rise at colleges across the 418 00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.720 US. Stanford University says the hit and run of an Arab Muslim student is 419 00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:45.400 being investigated as a hate crime. The private university near northern California's Silicon Valley 420 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.799 released a statement saying the student, who was not seriously injured, was struck 421 00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:53.680 on campus Friday afternoon by a black Toyota four Runner and that the driver shouted 422 00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:57.599 a slur as he drove off. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's office says the 423 00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:02.839 state officials have to determined it was a hate crime. Stanford University has reported 424 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:07.079 at least five possible hate crimes since the start of the Israel Hamas War. 425 00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:13.759 Courtneyattlman KFI News an African gray parrot worth about seventy five hundred dollars has been 426 00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:17.240 stolen from a pet shop in Lake Forest. Video shows a man holding the 427 00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:22.519 bird yesterday at Omar's Exotic Birds. He walks around the store and eventually walks 428 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.519 out when employees are distracted. The stores manager says the parrot is only four 429 00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:29.920 months old and is still hand feeding formula three times a day. The bird 430 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.799 is gray with a red tail and a black beak. Hey love this one. 431 00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:37.680 It's to pay it forward. Buffalo Bills player DeMar Hamlin is setting up 432 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.880 a scholarship program to honor the hospital workers who saved his life. Of course, 433 00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.480 Hamlin suffered that cardiac arrest on the field in January during a game with 434 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:50.039 Cincinnati. He ended up in this icee you for a week. Over the 435 00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:53.079 weekend, he announced he was setting up ten one thousand dollars scholarships, each 436 00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:57.359 one in the name of the ten people on the hospital team that kept him 437 00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:01.680 alive. Hamlin said his Cincinnati Heroes scholarship will help underserved high school and college 438 00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:07.160 bound students go to private high schools, trade schools, or universities in the 439 00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:10.559 area way to go to mar Hamlin. About eleven hundred people have left the 440 00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:15.559 Gaza Strip through the Rafa crossing since Wednesday, under an agreement between the US, 441 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.400 Egypt, Israel, and Cutter, which mediates with Hamas. The Rafa 442 00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:23.799 crossing was closed over the weekend. But we just talked to ABC's Jordana Miller 443 00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:28.319 a few minutes ago, and she says that the crossing has reopened, so 444 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:35.079 more foreign nationals and American citizens and injured people should be crossing into Egypt again 445 00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:38.960 today. The Health Ministry in Gaza sas more than ten thousand Palestinians have now 446 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:45.200 been killed in the war with Israel. Israel says more than five hundred arrant 447 00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:52.200 rockets launched by Palestinian militants have landed inside Gaza. A two mile long stretch 448 00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.559 of beach in Huntington Beach has been closed because of a shark spotted in the 449 00:33:54.599 --> 00:34:00.440 waters. People at Sunset Beach let lifeguards know about it yesterday afternoon after they 450 00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:04.839 saw a beached whale with bite marks. The shark was then seen splashing near 451 00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.400 the whale, which was still alive. The closure will be in effect for 452 00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:12.400 forty eight hours. We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning. 453 00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:16.599 Donald Trump is expected to take the stand today in his fraud trial in 454 00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:21.760 New York and this morning we have a little change of plans. We were 455 00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:25.360 planning on talking to a professor at U SEE San Diego who is an expert 456 00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:29.760 in the field of bee by biology and evolution. We're having trouble connecting with 457 00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:31.320 him. But what we wanted to talk to him about, which I still 458 00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:37.400 want to tell you about, was in southern California last month. Actually it 459 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.719 was about a month and a half ago. Now. There is a San 460 00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:45.440 Diego bee sanctuary and the people who operate it went out to go check on 461 00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:50.280 their hives and they thought, you know, it'll be like normal, They'll 462 00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:54.079 see all the bees flying around making honey like they do. But instead they 463 00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:59.960 found piles and piles of dead bees, and over the next few days, 464 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:07.679 eighty percent of their sixty four hives were decimated by some sort of mysterious plague. 465 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:14.119 Three million bees in southern California. Really sad, but still a mystery 466 00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:16.719 as to what caused the mass die off at the San Diego bee sanctuary. 467 00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:22.800 And the gentleman that we were going to be talking to says that we have 468 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:28.280 seen reports of die outs from different bee keepers around southern California, but to 469 00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:32.920 lose eighty percent of a population is just not normal, and so they're trying 470 00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:37.480 to figure out why. And do you remember the Bee movie. Everybody thought 471 00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:39.800 it was really cute and they killed off the bees and then nothing worked anymore. 472 00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:43.320 Well, that's what is going to happen. So whenever I see bees, 473 00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:45.320 I always think save the bees, and I wish there was something I 474 00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:52.159 can do. I don't think it's probably very practical to have a hive in 475 00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:55.280 my apartment, but if you have the land. I actually know people who 476 00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:59.239 do have their. They have little bee farms, and I think it's a 477 00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:01.519 lovely thing to do, and we need them, and I always try not 478 00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:05.519 to sweat them when they come and scare me. Let's get back to some 479 00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:07.480 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. La City 480 00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:13.159 firefighters have put out a fire at a town home in Sun Valley that had 481 00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:16.400 threatened other homes and an apartment building next door. The fire started in a 482 00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:20.880 garage early this morning, burned into the unit above it. The fire ended 483 00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:25.320 up burning into two units. The apartment building next door has damage from the 484 00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:30.239 radiant heat. A woman from Anaheim has been sentenced to nearly fifteen years in 485 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:36.000 prison for torturing her ten year old stepdaughter and abusing three other kids in the 486 00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:39.480 home. Court records show the girl had a broken neck, a bone sticking 487 00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:44.159 out of an unhealed sore, and bruises from head to toe. The Orange 488 00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:47.679 County District Attorney's offices. The girl weighed only fifty pounds and was found unresponsive 489 00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:52.960 last year when she was taken to Children's Hospital of Orange County. A teenager 490 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:57.920 who escaped from Los Padrino's Juvenile Hall in Downey has been caught. Officials say 491 00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:00.360 he was only out for about ten minutes on Saturday. They say the teenager 492 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:06.480 got away when a group of inmates assaulted a staff member. Visiting hours yesterday 493 00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:12.760 were canceled and the facility was put on lockdown until further notice. Former President 494 00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:16.840 Trump is set to testify in New York in the civil fraud trial targeting the 495 00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:22.719 Trump organization. ABC News legal contributor Ken Nowadays says there is a risk for 496 00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:27.920 Trump on the stand today. The more that the former president says and goes 497 00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:31.480 into, the more record he creates that can be used against him, frankly 498 00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:36.719 in this case and potentially in the other cases that are pending against him and 499 00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:40.760 remember those other cases are criminal cases. Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump took 500 00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:45.719 the stand last week. The judge has already ruled the Trump committed fraud. 501 00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:52.960 The trial is to determine penalties. Police in Massachusetts are trying to find a 502 00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:59.440 man suspected of fatally stabbing his girlfriend. ABC's Andrea Fujii says the woman's body 503 00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:04.159 was found Boston Logan International Airport on Wednesday, two days after she was reported 504 00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:07.800 missing. It was found in a car in the airport parking garage. Police 505 00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:10.960 have identified forty year old Kevin Kungoffe as the suspect. They say he was 506 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.400 seen a surveillance video and boarded a plane to Kenya shortly after the killing. 507 00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:21.320 She says police are working with authorities in Kenya to find the man. Florida 508 00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:24.559 Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to pick up a big endorsement in Iowa. ABC's 509 00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:30.039 Mary Alice Parks says Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds will announce her support for DeSantis at 510 00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.000 a rally this afternoon. There's a big chunk of voters that are looking for 511 00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:36.639 an alternative, and of course Iowa was when voting starts, and so if 512 00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:40.239 she is really signaling to other Republicans in her state here with her endorsement, 513 00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:45.880 I think it could make a big difference. It's a big win for DeSantis. 514 00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:51.280 Former President Trump called Governor Reynolds disloyal and claimed the endorsement will be the 515 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:55.239 end of her political career. Five Nights at Freddie's has taken the number one 516 00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:59.119 spot at the box office for a second week, taking in almost nineteen and 517 00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:02.559 a half million dollars in its second week. Taylor Swift The Era's Tour holds 518 00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:07.239 at number two, and the Martin Scorsese movie Killers of the Flower Moon stays 519 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.559 in third. Industry people say this was one of the slowest weekends at movie 520 00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:15.039 theaters all year. Okay, so a second ago, I was telling you 521 00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:20.519 about bees. Bees are good, mosquitoes flies not so much. But have 522 00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:24.360 you noticed that there's lots of mosquitoes and flies around this year? Like we're 523 00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:30.960 into November and there were still flies flying around, which I usually only have 524 00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:35.480 buzzing around my apartment in the summertime, and even mosquitos. I got bit 525 00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:39.599 last week. So why is that? I'm a person who needs to know 526 00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:45.440 the answers, So this is apparently why. It's because we usually have lower 527 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:52.400 mosquito fly populations because we have mild temperatures and low humidity. Southern states have 528 00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:55.000 mild winters, but they have high humidity during the summer months, and that's 529 00:39:55.039 --> 00:40:00.800 kind of ideal for the mosquitoes and the flies. And this year, because 530 00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:05.639 of all the weird brother we had and the rain flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes, 531 00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:10.320 which thrive in warm, humid environments, got to thrive around southern California. 532 00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:14.920 I hope we get a cold snap really quick, because I am ready 533 00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:20.719 for them to be gone.
