reduce the risk of wildfire. Israeli

11
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:21.799
troops and armor have expanded their assault
into the northern and central Gaza Strip.

12
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.680
Air strikes have reportedly been hitting closer
to hospitals where Palestinians have sought shelter alongside

13
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:32.439
the wounded. Really for Workers said
the largest convoy of humanitarian aid to arrive

14
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.680
in Gaza still fell far short of
what is needed. Matthew Perry's parents say

15
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:42.000
their heart broken by the tragic loss
of their beloved son. Perry, most

16
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.640
famous for his role as Chandler bing
on Friends, was found dead in his

17
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.719
hot Timbatus home in Pacific Palisades on
Saturday. He was fifty four. We're

18
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.280
going to be hearing more about this
from ABC's Jason Nathanson in just a couple

19
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.400

on the news. One is in,

21
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.200
one is out in the race for
president. Let's get started with some of

22
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.520
the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. LA has extended

23
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.319

Cal Edison has warned of public safety power

27
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.800

tonight. LA County Sheriff's detectives say they're

33
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.680
trying to figure out why a man
killed two of his children and injured two

34
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.080
of their siblings. Investigators say Prospero
Serena is the biological father of all four

35
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:12.120
kids and has been arrested in connection
with their attacks. Just before midnight Saturday,

36
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.800
deputies were sent to a home in
Lancaster, and when they arrived,

37
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.159
they said they found the children with
severe and deep cuts all over their bodies.

38
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:21.199
All four were taken to the hospital, where two were pronounced dead.

39
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.479
Sarah is from San Bernardino County,
and at least one of the nine one

40
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.639
one calls came from the children's mother. All four kids are under ten years

News. A woman in Anaheim has been

42
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.680
shot and killed by police responding to
a report of someone armed with a rifle.

43
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.680
Police say officers confronted the woman yesterday
and that she was shot at least

44
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.080
once. She died at the hospital. Police say the BB or palette rifle

45
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:55.240
the woman had was recovered at the
scene. Israeli troops have expanded their assault

46
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.280
deeper into the northern Gaza Strip.
ABC's Ian Pannell is near the Gaza border

47
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.240
in Israel. We're hearing a lot
of outgoing artillery and mortar fire, but

48
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:10.919
Hamas is lammon Jad are still launching
attacks into Israel on a daily basis.

49
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.120
The Israeli military says its troops have
killed dozens of militants who attacked from inside

50
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:20.279
buildings and tunnels, and that strikes
destroyed a building Hamas was using as a

51
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:26.079
staging post. Israel began airstrikes in
Gaza in response to a cross border attack

52
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.399
from Hamas that killed more than fourteen
hundred people. The Gaza Health Ministry says

53
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:35.040
the death toll among Palestinians has now
topped eight thousand. It's five oh six

54
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:41.519
on wake Up Call. Let's say
good morning to ABC's Jason Nathanson. Jason,

55
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.360
it's always here hard to hear about
the passing of actors, because even

56
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.160
though we don't know them, we
feel like we know them, and this

57
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:54.360
one's particularly tough. Sure, Matthew
Perry was somebody who you know insert Friends

58
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.759
pun here. We've seen all the
headlines over the weekend, but he is

59
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.639
somebody like people feel that they know
because that show is something that people have

60
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:06.079
watched over and over and over again, whether it's on reruns on television,

61
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:13.079
whether it's streaming. I still watch
it sometimes and you're not alone. Yeah,

62
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.600
So a lot of people feel that
they know him because of that.

63
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.040
And then also last year when,
first of all, in twenty twenty one,

64
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:26.600
when we had the Friends reunion and
his speech was a little off and

65
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.199
people were wondering, what's up with
Matthew Perry. And then he put out

66
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.959
his book last year and we got
a full kind of taste of what he's

67
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:39.639
really gone through over the years in
his battle with addiction and just how bad

68
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:44.639
it was and how in twenty eighteen
he was in a coma and they thought

69
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:49.360
he was going to die. He
said in the book that he has gone

70
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:55.720
to rehab fifteen times, he's been
in detox sixty five times, and he

71
00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:00.720
said he's spent like seven million dollars
trying to get clean, million millers trying

72
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:06.079
to get sober, and that had
been his journey for many years now,

73
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.519
which started in well, he said
he started drinking when he was fourteen,

74
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.759
and you know, alcohol was always
kind of a part of his life,

75
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.879
but he really the addiction got bad
when he had a jet ski accident in

76
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.519
nineteen ninety seven, after he'd been
on friends for a couple of years,

77
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:25.160
and that's when he was introduced to
viking in and that's when things really got

78
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.600
bad. It was a lot of
the pills and things like that. But

79
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.560
he had said in an interview with
CBC Radio this was while he was talking

80
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.879
about his book last year, that
you know a lot of things people have

81
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:41.279
talked about, friends is the first
thing that people have mentioned when it comes

82
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.000
to him. But when he dies, that's not what he wanted people to

83
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.680
talk about. Last thing about me, Barnun is there somebody comes up to

84
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.879
me and says, I can't stop
drinking. Can you help me? I

85
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:56.439
can say yes and follow up and
do it. That's the best thing.

86
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:01.319
And I've said this for a long
time and I die, I don't want

87
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.959
friends to be the first thing.
Let's mention. I want that to be

88
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.560
the first thing mentioned. And I'm
going to live the rest of my life

89
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:12.439
proving that, So that was definitely
a big part of his life. And

90
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.120
then comes the speculation about his death. What happened, right, A lot

91
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.000
of people want to know what the
deal was, was he sober? What's

92
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.879
going on? So the Ella County
Medical Examiner's Office, they have done an

93
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.800
autopsy. They said, it'll take
a while before we know the results of

94
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:32.399
that, uh, and whether there
are any drugs or anything in his system

95
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.160
because they need to do toxicology now, they need to do toxicology. That's

96
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.720
that's going to take a while.
It's our understanding that they didn't find anything

97
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:45.519
illegal around him, and the you
know, the timeline of things was that

98
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.399
they got a call around four o'clock
that he was discovered by a witness unresponsive

99
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:56.000
in his jacuzzi in his home in
the Pacific Palisades, UH and when the

100
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:59.600
La City Fire Department arrived on the
scene, they pronounced him dead. So

101
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.000
he they you know, they tried
to do whatever they could, but he

102
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.199
was he was dead when they arrived. So we don't and it just has

103
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.079
a witness found him. We don't
know if it was a friend or family

104
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.920
member or there have been reports that
it was his assistant but we have not

105
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.199
heard on the record who called nine
one one or who officially found him.

106
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.560
You know, what makes it even
more tragic is like that he struggled with

107
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.240
that addiction and everybody thinks, oh, you're famous, and isn't this great

108
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.600
and you have this great life and
everybody knows you. But he the fame

109
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.559
didn't do him any favors. No, And you know, you hear that

110
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.360
over and over again, whether it's
fame or whether it's money, you are

111
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.159
who you are, and those two
things aren't going to help make you better,

112
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.320
a better person, or make life
easier. You know, I think

113
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.799
a lot of people would say,
yeah, money's going to make life easier,

114
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.120
but fame certainly, certainly not.
You know, I hear from the

115
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.039
people that I talk to all the
time that the fame is the worst part

116
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.679
of the job. But all so
in a case like his, it helps.

117
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.480
Like he said there, he can
help others with that fame. And

118
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.240
I think that's what he got a
lot of out of out of that book.

119
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.080
And at one point also he had
turned his home in Malibu into a

120
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:20.879
rehab facility, which he apparently was
going to keep going with and open more

121
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.480
rehab facilities, but that that never
happened, that never materialized, But certainly

122
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:30.279
he had talked about how his being
his fame, being able to help people

123
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.320
and help people who have gone through
what he has gone through, that's the

124
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.480
best part for him. Yeah,
and have we heard from the friends.

125
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.320
We haven't heard from the from his
castmates yet. No, We've heard from

126
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.679
a lot of people. We've heard
from various people who were on the show,

127
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.759
like Maggie Wheeler who played his girlfriend
Janis, and some others like that,

128
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.000
but we haven't seen anything yet from
from Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox and

129
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.720
the rest. They were all very
close from what we understand, and they

130
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:05.000
had talked about you know, they
some shows, the show ends and everybody

131
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.200
goes their separate ways and you keep
in contact here and there, but they

132
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.600
would have regular dinners, they would
have regular you know, hangouts and things

133
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.559
like that. They were all very
close. So I would imagine either there's

134
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.360
going to be some joint statement or
there's going to be something individually. But

135
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.080
one has to imagine that they're very
upset by the news of the weekend.

136
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.200
Yeah, all right, thank you
so much. Jason Nathanson, appreciate all

137
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.399
the information Saturday to start the day. All right, take care, Let's

138
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.840
get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour

139
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:39.000
newsroom. Negotiators for striking actors and
the studios may be running out of time

140
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.600
to end the actor's strike, which
has lasted more than one hundred days.

141
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.519
The two sides have had multiple meetings
over the last few days, but no

142
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:52.440
deal. The studios have set Halloween
as a target date for finalizing a deal.

143
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.480
The United Auto Workers union and Stilantis
have reached a tentative contract agreement.

144
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.759
Union says the deal is very similar
to at Ford agreed to with a twenty

145
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.559
five percent pay raise over four years. Around fourteen thousand union members at a

146
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.320
Stellantis plant in Michigan and another in
Ohio have been on strike. United Auto

147
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:16.720
Workers President Sean Payne has urged Ford
workers to approve their tentative contract agreement.

148
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:22.519
As you know, we have reached
a historic tentative agreement at Ford. Our

149
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.200
job is to roll the details out
so you can make an informed decision.

150
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.480
The membership is the highest authority in
our union, and you will decide what

151

154
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.720
while being robbed in Winnetka near Canoga
Park. Police say the teen was walking

155
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.000
last night when he passed four men. A dispatcher says the men told him

156
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.759
to empty his pockets. The boy
refused, so one guy pulled out a

157
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.399
gun and shot him. The boy
was taken at the hospital. A man

158
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.039
from Paris in Riverside County has been
caught with twenty thousand dollars worth of stuff

159
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.960
stolen from a home depot. A
search warrant was served last week following reports

160
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:11.679
of retail thefts between October thirteenth and
fifteenth. Sheriff's deputies say the stolen tools

161
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.600
were from stores in Apple Valley and
Victorville, as well as from stores that

162

have not yet been identified. NASA
has granted a two point eight million dollars

163
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.919
grant to UC Irvine for a five
year survey of Antarctica's ice sheets. The

164
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.919
project will provide the most detailed record
of the condition and changes of glaciers in

165
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:35.919

One of multiple areas of focus includes tracking

where ice meats the ocean, but also

169
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:56.399
further inland where melting ice cavities are
forming. Corbin Carson KFI News. You

170
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.960
know that Governor Newsom was in China. He was there for about a week,

171
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.759
traveling around talking about climate change,
how they're going to fight it,

172
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.080
and working with leaders to come to
some sort of an agreement on ways to

173
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.720
cut back on greenhouse gases, that
kind of thing. And he took a

174
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.799
few photo ops and he also took
a tumble and took somebody out with him.

175
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.720
So if you haven't seen the video, it's it's well, it's funny

176
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.759
because everybody's fine. But he was
playing basketball with some kids in Beijing on

177
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.799
Friday, and so he's, you
know, he's twirling the ball on his

178
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:37.039
finger and showing off his basketball prowess
and he's playing with these like ten year

179
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.919
olds and He goes in to take
a shot and just trips and plows into

180
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.480
a knocks over a kid. He
jumped up, the kid got up,

181
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.240
they dust it off. I kind
of think they high fived, are hugged

182
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.480
or something like that. But the
video is, like I said, it's

183
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.840
funny because nobody got hurt. But
I'm gonna call it his basketball fumble?

184
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.200
Is that a thing? Red flag

It's five twenty two. Let's say good

197
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.320
morning to ABC's Derek Dennis in Lewiston, Maine, where those eighteen people were

198
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.080
killed in a mass shooting. Derek, lots of developments. We know that

199
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:09.759
Robert Carr was found dead on Friday. Tell us the latest. Yes,

200
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.000
sure so yes. His body was
found in a tractor trailer in the back

201
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.960
of a tractor trailer Friday night,
after forty eight hours of sheer terror for

202
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.519
that community in Lewiston, Maine.
People were told to shelter in place,

203
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.879
to be on lockdown until authorities found
him, and finally they did. They

204
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:39.240
found his body at a recycling center
where he worked, in an unlocked attractor

205
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.720
trailer. So that ended things there, but the investigation continues. Just this

206
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:50.360
morning, there's reporting that the forty
year old Army reservist was exhibiting such threatening

207
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:56.320
behavior that Army officials alerted authorities and
told him to keep an eye on this

208
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:03.200
guy. They thought he might commit
mass murder, that he might you know,

209
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.000
shoot up a play. So that's
according to the reporting that ABC News

210
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:12.279
has founded. So now that we
see those warning signs, somehow either were

211
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:19.759
missed or weren't fully investigated. And
so there's a big investigation onto what happened

212
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:26.720
where the red flags ended in terms
of no other response from authorities. That's

213
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.759
part of the ongoing investigation still and
the search for a motive, which is

214
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:37.759
still unknown this morning. Okay,
and you said that they alerted authorities and

215
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.919
he's a reservist, so is that
where you do the one weekend a month,

216
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.279
So he reported for duty that weekend
and they said something's really off with

217
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:48.080
him. Is that apparently what happened. Yeah, it's apparently what happened.

218
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.399
And we know over the summer there
was another report of threatening behavior, so

219
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:57.960
much so that his superiors ordered him
into seeking mental health treatment. He spent

220
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:03.879
two weeks in a facility, according
to his family, who's been cooperative in

221
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:08.200
the investigation, and was discharged.
But there's no details on that disposition or

222
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:12.680
where things went from there. And
so if already say he would fall under

223
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:18.359
mains Yellow Flag Laws, which allows
for the confiscation of weapons from anyone deemed

224
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.799
a threat. But a local police
sheet there said, you know, there's

225
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:29.000
no indication he was forcibly admitted into
a facility that would officially have triggered the

226
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:32.759
Yellow Flag laws, and so that
didn't happen, and so there's an investigation

227
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:37.400
going on into why not how he
was he able to continue to have guns

228
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:44.559
up until the point of last Wednesday's
mass shootings Eighteen people killed, thirteen wounded

229
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.920
in two locations in Lewiston. Yeah, and we know that a note was

230
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.400
found and it had some bank information
on it or something like that. Do

231
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.880
we know what else was in the
note? Yeah. Authorities are describing it

232
00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:00.319
not as a suicide note, but
as a sort of an end of life

233
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.960
note, right, with banking information, other instructions to his son on what

234
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:08.240
to do in case he wasn't going
to be around. But authority to say

235
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:12.839
a lot of it was rambling information, not fully coherent, but the banking

236
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:18.759
information and other instructions of what to
do, how to get around, how

237
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.839
to get into his cell phone,
things like that was in the note,

238
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.440
and so authorities are looking at it. They're also looking at his cell phone.

239
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.839
They've got a warrant to open it
to look at what was inside.

240
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.839
Also his social media postings, things
like that. All of that is being

241
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.400
looked at by investigators as they search
for a motive. Okay, and you

242
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.680
mentioned earlier that the forty eight hours
of terror is over now that he has

243
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:47.720
been found dead. But this community
has a long way to go to heal

244
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:49.960
from this. So one of the
things they held a vigil last night,

245
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:55.519
didn't they Yeah, there was a
couple of visuals over the weekend, one

246
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.559
major one last night where the community
of Lewiston and surrounding comunities really came together

247
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:06.319
to mourn, to support each other
and to start the healing process. But

248
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:07.720
as you said, it's going to
be a while. It's going to take

249
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:12.000
a long time. Because it's a
small, tight knit community. A lot

250
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:17.480
of the people knew someone or knew
someone else who knew some of the victims

251
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.640
in these shootings, and so it
hit really close to home for a lot

252
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.359
of people, and just talking to
people, you want into one in five

253
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:30.160
people it seems like knew someone very
personally who was killed or seriously wounded in

254
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:36.200
the shootings, and so very very
traumatic for this community. A lot of

255
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:38.599
emotion at the vigils that were held
over the weekend, including the one last

256
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.119
night. All Right, ABC's Derek
Dennis, thanks so much for giving us

257
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.880
the latest from Lewiston. Sure thing. Let's get back to some of the

258
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:49.519
stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom in La and aid to

259
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:55.480
La City Council and Hugo Sodo Martinez
has resigned over a social media post in

260
00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:00.160
which he made Holocaust jokes about comedian
Amy Schumer. Till Martinez called the post

261
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.920
disturbing and reprehensible. He didn't name
the aid, but the man was later

262
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:11.680
Indeed, he allegedly traded posts on
an account called Truannon. One reply compared

263
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:17.279
Schumer to a Nazi concentration camp and
made disparaging comments about her weight. Hundreds

264
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:22.160
of people have stormed an airport in
Russia looking for passengers arriving from the Israeli

265
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.640
city of Tel Aviv. Russian news
reports say the crowd surrounded a plane yesterday,

266
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:32.000
which belongs to a Russian carrier Red
Wings. Video on social media showed

267
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:36.960
some of the crowd waving Palestinian flags
while others tried to overturn a police car.

268
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.720
Police could also be heard yelling anti
Semitic chants. More than twenty people

269
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.559
were hurt. Sixty people were detained. The driver charged with killing four young

270
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:49.720
women in a high speed crash in
Malibu is out on bail. Jail records

271
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:53.119
show he was released Friday, following
his second arrest in connection with the crash

272
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.640
two weeks ago. His lawyer claims
the twenty two year old was involved in

273
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:02.000
a road rage incident that started at
UKs in Malibu and that he was being

274
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:07.160
chased. A trial is starting in
Colorado to decide whether former President Trump is

275
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.279
eligible to appear on the state's ballot
in twenty twenty four. ABC's Mark Remillard

276
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:17.279
says a group of voters in the
state challenged Trump's eligibility under Section three of

277
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:22.160
the fourteenth Amendments, which bars someone
from holding federal office if they've previously taken

278
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.880
an oath to support the Constitution and
then engaged in an insurrection. The court

279
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.440
will examine several issues, including what
it means to have engaged in an insurrection.

280
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:37.039
He says similar efforts to disqualify Trump
are also going on in Michigan and

281
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:48.880
Minnesota. Today's National Wicked Day it's
to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the hit

282
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.039
Broadway musical Wicked. Have you seen
it? It is spectacular. It's the

283
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:57.000
fourth longest running show in Broadway history, based on the nineteen fifty five Gregory

284
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:02.400
McGuire novel Wicked. The Life Times
of the Wicked Witch of the West,

285
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:08.720
of course that went on to become
is based on the movie and the book.

286
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:14.519
The original production start in a Dina
Menzel, who you hear singing right

287
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:18.880
there, Kristin Chenowith and Joel Gray. It won three Tony's and a Grammy,

288
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.079
and I'm so excited about this.
The Wicked movie is expected out in

289
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.039
November of twenty twenty four. It'll
be interesting to see if it's as good

290
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:30.200
as the Broadway show, because,
like I said, that was fantastic.

291
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:37.640
Right now, let's say good morning
to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Surprise Pence is

292
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.000
out. Phillips is in. Yeah, a big surprise. So who's Phillips.

293
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.079
We'll get to him in a second, So right. Mike Pence announced

294
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:51.119
on Saturday at the Republican Jewish Coalition
event in Las Vegas, in the middle

295
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:55.359
of his speech that after prayerful consideration
and what he didn't say, but what

296
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:57.119
he meant is a look at the
polls, he's decided to drop out of

297
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:00.640
the race that he's not going to
in the Republican nomination. He's not going

298
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:06.480
to defeat the president under whom he
served or anybody else, and therefore he's

299
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:08.440
going to pull himself out of the
running with more than a week to go

300
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:12.480
before the next presidential debate on the
Republican side, which is November eighth in

301
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:18.519
Miami. So there's one fewer person, one less person on the stage.

302
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.200
It's now only twenty two. It
looks like we'll have a field of maybe

303
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.079
five or six candidates on the debate
stage next Wednesday night. This is narrowing

304
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.640
a bit, but look, national
surveys have former President Donald Trump far and

305
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.440
away the leader on the Republican side. There's a new survey in Iowa this

306
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:41.440
morning that indicates that he is more
than about thirty points ahead of his leading

307
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.599
rivals for the Republican nomination in Iowa. The leading rivals, of course,

308
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:49.279
Ronda Santis and Nikki Hayley, but
they're thirty points back. So look,

309
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:55.880
Mike pants is out. I think
it's more a story that kind of sort

310
00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:02.480
of encapsulates the antipathy that republic Plicans
feel toward Mike Pence for his refusal to

311
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:07.799
stand alongside Donald Trump when in the
final days of the Trump presidency there were

312
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:11.160
calls for Mike Pence to do it
no other vice president in history had done,

313
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.319
which is set aside to reject electoral
votes send them back to the States,

314
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:19.720
as if to read inside the text
of the Twelfth Amendment and Article two

315
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:23.000
of the Constitution that the vice president
had some sort of extraordinary power that no

316
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.160
one had ever thought of before.
Mike Penn said, no, that's not

317
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.160
exactly how this is supposed to work, and he stood up for the right

318
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:37.079
of the people in the States to
choose their candidate, and ultimately you had

319
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.359
him vilified by former president and his
supporters. So Mike Pence is out of

320
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.799
the running. And let's talk briefly
now about Dean Phillips. He's a Democrat.

321
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:49.920
What's this Democrat from Minnesota. He
is a three term member of Congress

322
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:55.480
who's decided that he wants to challenge
Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination. Is

323
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:59.920
he currently in office? He is
a Democratic member of Congress from Minnesota,

324
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.880
Okay, and he is stepping forward, not that he disagrees with Joe Biden

325
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.640
on policy, He's completely aligned with
Joe Biden on policy. He simply argues

326
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:12.680
that Joe Biden risks losing to Donald
Trump, and Dean Phillips says he's going

327
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:18.839
to put himself forward as a challenger
who is frankly younger, about three decades

328
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.680
younger. Dean Phillips, I think, is fifty fifty four, fifty three

329
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:25.440
to fifty four, and Joe Biden
is currently eighty. Next month turns eighty

330
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:27.160
one, and by the time he
is elected to a second term, if

331
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:32.519
he's elected to its second term would
be eighty two. And so Dean Phillips

332
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:36.880
is simply arguing that Democratic voters ought
to have another choice. And what's interesting,

333
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.079
I think is the fact that Dean
Phillips is putting himself forward in the

334
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.240
New Hampshire primary, which Joe Biden
is essuwing and not participating it. And

335
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:51.759
why because Joe Biden has decided that
South Carolina should go first for the Democrats,

336
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:56.039
that the Democratic electorate of South Carolina, because it's heavily black, is

337
00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:00.599
more reflective of the Democratic Party nationally, and therefore South Carolina should go first

338
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:06.119
for the Democrats, never mind the
long history of Iowa New Hampshire kicking off

339
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:11.680
the primary process for both parties in
the United States. So Dean Phillips is

340
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.920
entering into the New Hampshire primary on
the hopes that he can perform well because

341
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.920
Joe Biden likely won't be on the
ballot, so he can say, hey,

342
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:23.839
I won the New Hampshire primary.
I have a shot. But nobody

343
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:26.440
thinks he has a shot. Well. I mean, look, I think

344
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:32.279
it's unlikely that a no name who
is coming up forward as a loan primary

345
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:36.799
challenger is going to somehow defeat an
incumbent president. I don't think anyone's suggesting

346
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:41.000
that. But the question becomes know
to what extent does Dean Phillips, who

347
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:47.319
are currently an unknown and a curiosity
mainly among political reporters, start to put

348
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:52.039
himself forward and get attention and cause
the Biden campaign to feel a bit of

349
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.799
heartburn. If nothing else, they
have to perhaps spend a bit of mental

350
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:02.920
time and maybe even some money on
this challenger, even though in New Hampshire,

351
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.359
the hope of the Biden campaign is
that delegates from that state won't count

352
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:14.480
because the party on a national basis
has decided to follow Joe Biden's direction and

353
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:17.920
have South Carolina come first, and
New Hampshire decides that it's going to go

354
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:21.640
first regardless. Well, then the
delegates to the convention who would otherwise be

355
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:25.599
chosen at the primary may not be
seated and wouldn't count toward the ultimate outcome

356
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:27.519
anyway. So the idea that Joe
Biden's not going to win the nomination is

357
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:32.599
not necessarily in the cards, but
it becomes sort of emblematic of the challenge

358
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:37.480
that Joe Biden will face nationally trying
to convince Americans that he is the right

359
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.279
man for another term in office.
Frankly, given his age, and it's

360
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.079
an uncomfortable thing for the White House
to talk about. They don't like to

361
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.279
talk about it. Joe Biden doesn't
particularly seek me interested in talking about it,

362
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:51.880
except when he turns it around and
says that his age reflects the wisdom

363
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:56.519
and experience that he brings uniquely to
the table. Here's the thought, what

364
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:04.759
if he's getting in to raise his
national exposure just in case Biden decides not

365
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:10.799
to run, or something happens between
now an election day and since Kamala is

366
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:17.720
so widely, wildly unpopular, he
puts himself as an alternative. Well,

367
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:21.759
you know, the polls indicate that
Kamala Harris is unpopular as the president under

368
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:26.200
whom she serves, and Joe Biden
is also for the most part unpopular.

369
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.599
I mean, he's I checked the
five thirty eight averages, he's polling now

370
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:36.000
under forty percent, and that also
lends itself to a primary challenge. But

371
00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:40.680
look, you know, I think
at the moment, there's no indication that

372
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:42.880
Joe Biden isn't going to run for
a second term. He reserves, I

373
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:48.880
suppose the right to change his mind. We're really coming up pretty fast on

374
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.799
the process, really beginning in earnest
history would tell you that passed incumbent,

375
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.519
well at least one past incumbent president, Linda Johnson, didn't announce that he

376
00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.759
wasn't going to run until March of
the election year. So I guess that

377
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.559
gives Joe Biden some time figure out
whether he's truly going to run. But

378
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.880
anything can happen. I mean,
that's the thing we have to remember,

379
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:08.920
certainly in our politics and in our
current era, anything can happen. And

380
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.640
Dean Phillips is entering himself into the
running. The idea that he is the

381
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:17.119
one who Democratic voters would choose,
I think is a bit far afield relative

382
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:23.319
to others who might also put themselves
for never a dull moment. Thank you

383
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:26.720
so much, Steven Portino. I
appreciate your insights. A great day,

384
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.559
right exactly, Keep listening, Keep
listening because there's more to count. Tell

385
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.079
your friends, Yeah, right,
right, exactly, Thanks so much.

386
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:34.680
Let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four

387
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:38.519
hour newsroom. The La County Medical
Examiner's Office has deferred the cause of death

388
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:42.119
for actor Matthew Perry, who was
found dead in his hot time on Saturday.

389
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:48.119
ABC's Alex Jon says the initial results
of an autopsy yesterday were inconclusive.

390
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.400
You will take toxicology tests to know
exactly why he died, and getting those

391
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.720
results could take weeks. Perry had
a history of drug and alcohol abuse.

392
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.599
TMZ says no illegal drugs were found
at Perry's home, but there were lots

393
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:04.880
of prescription pills, including antidepressants,
anxiety pills, and heart medication. Perry

394
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:10.680
was fifty four. A US appeals
court has ruled California's assault weapons ban will

395
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.039
remain in force while the state appeals
a lower court decision declaring the thirty year

396
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:19.920
old measure unconstitutional. A judge ruled
this month that the band deprived law abiding

397
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:26.599
citizens of semi automatic firearms in violation
of the Second Amendment. California's attorney general

398
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:32.920
called the decision dangerous and misguided.
For President Trump and three of his children

399
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:37.240
are expected to testify this week in
the civil fraud trial against Trump in New

400
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.079
York. Donald Trump Junior is expected
on the stand Wednesday, followed by Eric

401
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:47.039
and Ivanka Trump. The former president, is expected to testify November sixth.

402
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:52.599
The judge overseeing former President Trump's January
sixth case has reinstated a gag order it

403
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:59.720
was temporarily stopped earlier this month.
The order bans Trump from making certain statements

404
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:07.640
about both the Special Council team or
potential witnesses. Five Nights at Freddy's Shattered

405
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:12.000
Predictions and top this weekend's box office
with an estimated seventy eight million dollars in

406
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:18.119
ticket sales. It was expected to
bring in like thirty million it. The

407
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:23.960
movie was released in both theaters and
also streaming on Peacock and There's a little

408
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:27.680
bit of disagreement on whether it's a
good movie or not. Nick Poliochini went

409
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:33.319
and saw it, said he liked
it. Jason Nathanson, ABC's guy didn't

410
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:38.599
like it at all. The record
breaking Taylor Swift the Eras Tour has dropped

411
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:42.640
to number two. We're just minutes
away from Handle. On the news this

412
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:48.240
morning, the un is warning that
things are getting really bad in the Gaza

413
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:51.519
Strip and that civil order is starting
to break down. Bill's going to bring

414
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:55.079
you the latest on that. Let's
get back to some of the stories coming

415
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.519
out of the KFI twenty four hour
newsroom. A vigil has been held in

416
00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:02.720
Maine to remember the eighteen people killed
by an Army reservist who targeted a bowling

417
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:07.880
alley and a bar and grill.
Investigators are trying to figure out if warning

418
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:12.200
signs about the shooter or miss.
ABC News has learned card continue to have

419
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:15.200
access to weapons, despite a yellow
flag law in Maine allowing guns to be

420
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:21.640
seized from individuals deemed a threat.
ABC's Derek Dennis says the shooter tried to

421
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:25.519
buy a gun silencer in August,
but was turned down because he had been

422
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:29.680
in a mental hospital. He says. Last month, the sheriff in Maine

423
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:34.400
reportedly sent an alert to local authority
saying the man had threatened to shoot up

424
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:39.839
an RV an Arvy, an Army
reserve center. Halloween weekend events have ended

425
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:45.640
in violence in several states. ABC's
ran On Alley says at least eleven people

426
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:51.319
were killed and seventy six others hurt
in twelve shootings across the country between Friday

427
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:57.920
and yesterday. Oh What a dramatic
video showing the moment. Shots rang out

428
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:00.640
in Tampa, Florida on Saturday.
At least two people killed and more than

429
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:05.920
a dozen wounded during the shooting.
In Indianapolis, ten people shot and one

430
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:08.720
woman killed at a Halloween party.
Meanwhile, at least fifteen shot at a

431
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:15.920
Halloween party in Chicago. Two people
were shot in a parking lot of a

432
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:20.359
state college in Massachusetts. Police are
trying to find the shooter. The state

433
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.559
is distributing one hundred ninety two million
dollars to fund one hundred thirty six projects

434
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:28.119
to help cut pollution and make it
easier for people to get around. The

435
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:32.200
projects include electric bus routes in San
Fernando Valley, building a new fueling station,

436
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:37.519
for hydrogen powered buses in Orange County
and free transit tickets in San Francisco.

437
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:44.599
House Speaker Mike Johnson says usaid for
Ukraine and Israel will be considered separately.

438
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:49.119
President Biden has asked Congress for one
hundred and six billion dollars in emergency

439
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:52.759
spending for Ukraine, Israel, and
other foreign assistance. Johnson has said aid

440
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:59.880
for Ukraine would require more accountability on
money already spent. He said House Republicans

441
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:05.119
would propose a fourteen and a half
million dollar package for Israel. Former Vice

442
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:08.599
President Pence has suspended his run for
presidents. This is not my time.

443
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:13.960
He didn't endorse anyone else running in
twenty twenty four. But former President Trump

444
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:19.400
had an idea. I had a
great, successful presidency, and he was

445
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:22.719
the vice president. He should endorse
me. Trump spoke at a campaign event

446
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:28.159
in Las Vegas Saturday, hours after
Pence made his announcement. During a speech

447
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:32.199
at the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las
Vegas. Pence's latest campaign filing showed six

448
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:37.840
hundred thousand dollars in debt and one
point two million in cash on hand.

449
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:43.159
The campaign also said he didn't have
enough individual donors to qualify for the next

450
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:47.480
Republican primary debate. Investigators say two
children under ten years old had been killed

451
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.840
by their father at a home in
Lancaster. Detectives say those children's two siblings

452
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:55.400
were also injured by their father.
All four were at the same home Saturday

453
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:59.239
night when a nine to one one
call from their mother was placed just before

454
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:02.119
midnight. When deputies arrived, they
said they found all four with severe and

455
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.239
deep cuts all over their bodies.
They were rushed to a hospital, but

456
00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:09.119
two were pronounced dead. The other
two are expected to fully recover. Official

457
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:14.639
say Prospero Serna is the biological father
and lives in San Bernardino County. He's

458
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:17.320
in custody, and detective say there's
no apparent motive for the attacks. Steve

459
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:22.760
Gregory, King of Fine News,
a crash by a possible wrong way driver

460
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.559
has closed northbound lanes of the four
or five in Van Eyes. Initial reports

461
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:31.239
were that a driver hit the center
divider early this morning and was then hit

462
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:36.159
by other cars. The driver who
caused the crash appears to have been killed.

463
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:43.280
Legendary musician David Copperfield has announced his
latest spectacular illusion. It's a lunar

464
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:47.519
extravaganza. Copperfield has announced plans to
make the moon disappear. He said,

465
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:51.960
it's taken thirty years of work to
develop the illusion, and I'm collaborating with,

466
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:54.599
say the children of amazing organizations to
show the work the difference one person

467
00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:58.719
can make. If one person can
make the moon disappear from the sky,

468
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:01.880
then matched out together that we can
make poverty and hunger and danger disappear for

469
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:06.159
our children, honor. He does. Today practice runs of the trick are

470
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:08.559
apparently going well, and he claims
people have reported seeing strange things in the

471
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:13.960
sky at night all around the country. Sandy Wells k Off I News.

472
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:16.039
Okay, I'm looking forward to that, except I hate when you'd make the

473
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:19.480
moon disappear. Love the moon.
Don't we have a full moon? Is

474
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:23.639
it tonight? Was it last night? I don't know. So, you

475
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:29.880
know, the holidays are just around
the corner, and if you haven't booked

476
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:35.199
your holiday travel plans, there are
some travel experts who are saying, if

477
00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:38.599
you don't do it now, just
forget it. Carol Mueller is the vice

478
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:44.360
president at Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection.
She says the longer you wait, the

479
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:46.480
more expensive. It's going to be, so book it as soon as possible,

480
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:52.039
and that is if you're lucky,
because flights and rental cars and rooms

481
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:58.599
are selling out fast, and travel
experts are saying it could be difficult to

482
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:02.559
book anything by thanks or Thanksgiving because
it's like less than a month away,

483
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:06.320
and then Christmas and New Year's are
getting harder and harder by the day.

484
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:09.320
So they're saying that a lot of
people are just saying, we're just not

485
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:12.679
gonna deal with it. It's too
expensive, so we're going to stay at

486
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:16.800
home or just go somewhere close by. The travel period for the US for

487
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:22.280
the holidays is the last week in
November to the first week in January.

488
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:27.679
The one good thing about that is
if you are traveling, domestic travel prices

489
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:32.960
are down compared to last holiday period, but finding a flight is where the

490
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:37.440
challenge is. Hey, we've got
a new addition at the San Diego Zoo.

491
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:39.519
I love to hear about new babies, and this one is so adorable.

492
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:44.800
For the first time in nearly thirteen
years, an Emperor penguin chick has

493
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:50.480
hatched at SeaWorld in San Diego,
and apparently SeaWorld in San Diego is the

494
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:55.039
only zoo in the Western hemisphere where
there are emperor penguins, which are a

495
00:37:55.079 --> 00:38:00.880
threatened species. They of course are
up in the coal. They don't fly

496
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:07.400
because they're penguins, but their habitat
is in danger because of the melting ice

497
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:10.639
and the climate change and all of
that stuff. So they've got this chick

498
00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:15.079
and they're watching it and it takes
usually like sixty five to seventy two days

499
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:20.039
to hatch. But this little guy
starts hatching. Actually it's a little girl.

500
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:24.719
She starts hatching and then she stops. So apparently they peck their way

501
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:30.239
out right, she breaks through the
initial membrane and the hatching process can take

502
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:32.760
a few days, but then she
kind of just stopped and they couldn't figure

503
00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:35.880
out what was going on, and
so they watched her and watched her and

504
00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:37.239
then said, okay, it's time
for us to step in and help.

505
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:45.840
So they had little crews that helped
her hatch because they chipped away at the

506
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:51.960
eggshell like very slowly over a period
of like three days, and eventually out

507
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:54.519
she came. And now she's doing
well. She's actually been here since September,

508
00:38:54.880 --> 00:39:00.519
and you can go to the San
Diego zoos website and check out the

509
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:07.199
new baby, Empire Emperor Penguin.
She is doing well. She's eating fish

510
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.960
milkshakes God that sounds gross, and
gaining five to ten percent of her body

511
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:15.519
weight every day. Absolutely da.
She didn't have a name yet. If

512
00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:21.599
you're interested, you can go to
the San Diego Zoo website and suggest a

513
00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:27.119
name for the new baby. This
