and power could be shut off to reduce the risk of wildfire. Israeli
troops and armor have expanded their assault into the northern and central Gaza Strip.
Air strikes have reportedly been hitting closer to hospitals where Palestinians have sought shelter alongside
the wounded. Really for Workers said the largest convoy of humanitarian aid to arrive
in Gaza still fell far short of what is needed. Matthew Perry's parents say
their heart broken by the tragic loss of their beloved son. Perry, most
famous for his role as Chandler bing on Friends, was found dead in his
hot Timbatus home in Pacific Palisades on Saturday. He was fifty four. We're
going to be hearing more about this from ABC's Jason Nathanson in just a couple
of minutes. Get to the latest details. Such a sad, sad story
at six oh five. It's handled on the news. One is in,
one is out in the race for president. Let's get started with some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. LA has extended
red flag no parking restrictions in brush areas because of Santa Ana win conditions.
The red flag of work alert and enforcement of special parking rules went into effect
yesterday morning and will be in effect through eight am tomorrow. Red flag warnings
indicate critical fire danger conditions. So Cal Edison has warned of public safety power
outages because of the wind. The National Weather Services issued a high wind warning
for Riverside County. Gusts today are expected to range from fifty to sixty five
miles per hour, sustain winds between twenty five and thirty five miles per hour
expected in areas including Downtown, Riverside, Moreno Valley, Corona, Idlewild,
Pine Cove, and the San Gorgonio Pass Neer banning. The high wind warning
will be in effect until ten o'clock tonight. LA County Sheriff's detectives say they're
trying to figure out why a man killed two of his children and injured two
of their siblings. Investigators say Prospero Serena is the biological father of all four
kids and has been arrested in connection with their attacks. Just before midnight Saturday,
deputies were sent to a home in Lancaster, and when they arrived,
they said they found the children with severe and deep cuts all over their bodies.
All four were taken to the hospital, where two were pronounced dead.
Sarah is from San Bernardino County, and at least one of the nine one
one calls came from the children's mother. All four kids are under ten years
old. Steve Gregory ka if I News. A woman in Anaheim has been
shot and killed by police responding to a report of someone armed with a rifle.
Police say officers confronted the woman yesterday and that she was shot at least
once. She died at the hospital. Police say the BB or palette rifle
the woman had was recovered at the scene. Israeli troops have expanded their assault
deeper into the northern Gaza Strip. ABC's Ian Pannell is near the Gaza border
in Israel. We're hearing a lot of outgoing artillery and mortar fire, but
Hamas is lammon Jad are still launching attacks into Israel on a daily basis.
The Israeli military says its troops have killed dozens of militants who attacked from inside
buildings and tunnels, and that strikes destroyed a building Hamas was using as a
staging post. Israel began airstrikes in Gaza in response to a cross border attack
from Hamas that killed more than fourteen hundred people. The Gaza Health Ministry says
the death toll among Palestinians has now topped eight thousand. It's five oh six
on wake Up Call. Let's say good morning to ABC's Jason Nathanson. Jason,
it's always here hard to hear about the passing of actors, because even
though we don't know them, we feel like we know them, and this
one's particularly tough. Sure, Matthew Perry was somebody who you know insert Friends
pun here. We've seen all the headlines over the weekend, but he is
somebody like people feel that they know because that show is something that people have
watched over and over and over again, whether it's on reruns on television,
whether it's streaming. I still watch it sometimes and you're not alone. Yeah,
So a lot of people feel that they know him because of that.
And then also last year when, first of all, in twenty twenty one,
when we had the Friends reunion and his speech was a little off and
people were wondering, what's up with Matthew Perry. And then he put out
his book last year and we got a full kind of taste of what he's
really gone through over the years in his battle with addiction and just how bad
it was and how in twenty eighteen he was in a coma and they thought
he was going to die. He said in the book that he has gone
to rehab fifteen times, he's been in detox sixty five times, and he
said he's spent like seven million dollars trying to get clean, million millers trying
to get sober, and that had been his journey for many years now,
which started in well, he said he started drinking when he was fourteen,
and you know, alcohol was always kind of a part of his life,
but he really the addiction got bad when he had a jet ski accident in
nineteen ninety seven, after he'd been on friends for a couple of years,
and that's when he was introduced to viking in and that's when things really got
bad. It was a lot of the pills and things like that. But
he had said in an interview with CBC Radio this was while he was talking
about his book last year, that you know a lot of things people have
talked about, friends is the first thing that people have mentioned when it comes
to him. But when he dies, that's not what he wanted people to
talk about. Last thing about me, Barnun is there somebody comes up to
me and says, I can't stop drinking. Can you help me? I
can say yes and follow up and do it. That's the best thing.
And I've said this for a long time and I die, I don't want
friends to be the first thing. Let's mention. I want that to be
the first thing mentioned. And I'm going to live the rest of my life
proving that, So that was definitely a big part of his life. And
then comes the speculation about his death. What happened, right, A lot
of people want to know what the deal was, was he sober? What's
going on? So the Ella County Medical Examiner's Office, they have done an
autopsy. They said, it'll take a while before we know the results of
that, uh, and whether there are any drugs or anything in his system
because they need to do toxicology now, they need to do toxicology. That's
that's going to take a while. It's our understanding that they didn't find anything
illegal around him, and the you know, the timeline of things was that
they got a call around four o'clock that he was discovered by a witness unresponsive
in his jacuzzi in his home in the Pacific Palisades, UH and when the
La City Fire Department arrived on the scene, they pronounced him dead. So
he they you know, they tried to do whatever they could, but he
was he was dead when they arrived. So we don't and it just has
a witness found him. We don't know if it was a friend or family
member or there have been reports that it was his assistant but we have not
heard on the record who called nine one one or who officially found him.
You know, what makes it even more tragic is like that he struggled with
that addiction and everybody thinks, oh, you're famous, and isn't this great
and you have this great life and everybody knows you. But he the fame
didn't do him any favors. No, And you know, you hear that
over and over again, whether it's fame or whether it's money, you are
who you are, and those two things aren't going to help make you better,
a better person, or make life easier. You know, I think
a lot of people would say, yeah, money's going to make life easier,
but fame certainly, certainly not. You know, I hear from the
people that I talk to all the time that the fame is the worst part
of the job. But all so in a case like his, it helps.
Like he said there, he can help others with that fame. And
I think that's what he got a lot of out of out of that book.
And at one point also he had turned his home in Malibu into a
rehab facility, which he apparently was going to keep going with and open more
rehab facilities, but that that never happened, that never materialized, But certainly
he had talked about how his being his fame, being able to help people
and help people who have gone through what he has gone through, that's the
best part for him. Yeah, and have we heard from the friends.
We haven't heard from the from his castmates yet. No, We've heard from
a lot of people. We've heard from various people who were on the show,
like Maggie Wheeler who played his girlfriend Janis, and some others like that,
but we haven't seen anything yet from from Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox and
the rest. They were all very close from what we understand, and they
had talked about you know, they some shows, the show ends and everybody
goes their separate ways and you keep in contact here and there, but they
would have regular dinners, they would have regular you know, hangouts and things
like that. They were all very close. So I would imagine either there's
going to be some joint statement or there's going to be something individually. But
one has to imagine that they're very upset by the news of the weekend.
Yeah, all right, thank you so much. Jason Nathanson, appreciate all
the information Saturday to start the day. All right, take care, Let's
get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour
newsroom. Negotiators for striking actors and the studios may be running out of time
to end the actor's strike, which has lasted more than one hundred days.
The two sides have had multiple meetings over the last few days, but no
deal. The studios have set Halloween as a target date for finalizing a deal.
The United Auto Workers union and Stilantis have reached a tentative contract agreement.
Union says the deal is very similar to at Ford agreed to with a twenty
five percent pay raise over four years. Around fourteen thousand union members at a
Stellantis plant in Michigan and another in Ohio have been on strike. United Auto
Workers President Sean Payne has urged Ford workers to approve their tentative contract agreement.
As you know, we have reached a historic tentative agreement at Ford. Our
job is to roll the details out so you can make an informed decision.
The membership is the highest authority in our union, and you will decide what
happens next. Pain says he wholeheartedly endorses the deal that raises pay by twenty
five percent over four years. It also restores a cost of living adjustment that
went away in two thousand and nine. A sixteen year old boy's been shot
while being robbed in Winnetka near Canoga Park. Police say the teen was walking
last night when he passed four men. A dispatcher says the men told him
to empty his pockets. The boy refused, so one guy pulled out a
gun and shot him. The boy was taken at the hospital. A man
from Paris in Riverside County has been caught with twenty thousand dollars worth of stuff
stolen from a home depot. A search warrant was served last week following reports
of retail thefts between October thirteenth and fifteenth. Sheriff's deputies say the stolen tools
were from stores in Apple Valley and Victorville, as well as from stores that
have not yet been identified. NASA has granted a two point eight million dollars
grant to UC Irvine for a five year survey of Antarctica's ice sheets. The
project will provide the most detailed record of the condition and changes of glaciers in
the southern continent. Uciglaciologists will compile data from the NISAR satellite missions collaboration between
JPL and the Indian Space Research Organization incorporated with data from European, Finnish,
Canadian, and Japanese satellite missions. One of multiple areas of focus includes tracking
accelerated ice sheet melting, not just where ice meats the ocean, but also
further inland where melting ice cavities are forming. Corbin Carson KFI News. You
know that Governor Newsom was in China. He was there for about a week,
traveling around talking about climate change, how they're going to fight it,
and working with leaders to come to some sort of an agreement on ways to
cut back on greenhouse gases, that kind of thing. And he took a
few photo ops and he also took a tumble and took somebody out with him.
So if you haven't seen the video, it's it's well, it's funny
because everybody's fine. But he was playing basketball with some kids in Beijing on
Friday, and so he's, you know, he's twirling the ball on his
finger and showing off his basketball prowess and he's playing with these like ten year
olds and He goes in to take a shot and just trips and plows into
a knocks over a kid. He jumped up, the kid got up,
they dust it off. I kind of think they high fived, are hugged
or something like that. But the video is, like I said, it's
funny because nobody got hurt. But I'm gonna call it his basketball fumble?
Is that a thing? Red flag warnings are up because of those Santa Ana
wins gus up to sixty miles per hour. Low humidity and highs in the
seventies and eighties have increased fire danger through the Southland through at least tonight.
In some areas is through tomorrow morning. The judge overseeing former President Trump's January
sixth case has reinstated a gag order. It was temporarily stopped earlier this month.
The order bans Trump from making certain statements about both the Special Council team
and potential witnesses. Five Nights at Freddy's Shattered Predictions and top this weekend's box
office with an estimated seventy eight million dollars in ticket sales. I think it
was expected to make like thirty million. The movie was released in theaters it's
also streaming on Peacock. The record breaking Taylor Swift The Eras Tour movie drops
to number two at six oh five. It's handle on the news. The
un is warning that things are getting really bad in the Gaza strip and civil
order is starting to break down. It's five twenty two. Let's say good
morning to ABC's Derek Dennis in Lewiston, Maine, where those eighteen people were
killed in a mass shooting. Derek, lots of developments. We know that
Robert Carr was found dead on Friday. Tell us the latest. Yes,
sure so yes. His body was found in a tractor trailer in the back
of a tractor trailer Friday night, after forty eight hours of sheer terror for
that community in Lewiston, Maine. People were told to shelter in place,
to be on lockdown until authorities found him, and finally they did. They
found his body at a recycling center where he worked, in an unlocked attractor
trailer. So that ended things there, but the investigation continues. Just this
morning, there's reporting that the forty year old Army reservist was exhibiting such threatening
behavior that Army officials alerted authorities and told him to keep an eye on this
guy. They thought he might commit mass murder, that he might you know,
shoot up a play. So that's according to the reporting that ABC News
has founded. So now that we see those warning signs, somehow either were
missed or weren't fully investigated. And so there's a big investigation onto what happened
where the red flags ended in terms of no other response from authorities. That's
part of the ongoing investigation still and the search for a motive, which is
still unknown this morning. Okay, and you said that they alerted authorities and
he's a reservist, so is that where you do the one weekend a month,
So he reported for duty that weekend and they said something's really off with
him. Is that apparently what happened. Yeah, it's apparently what happened.
And we know over the summer there was another report of threatening behavior, so
much so that his superiors ordered him into seeking mental health treatment. He spent
two weeks in a facility, according to his family, who's been cooperative in
the investigation, and was discharged. But there's no details on that disposition or
where things went from there. And so if already say he would fall under
mains Yellow Flag Laws, which allows for the confiscation of weapons from anyone deemed
a threat. But a local police sheet there said, you know, there's
no indication he was forcibly admitted into a facility that would officially have triggered the
Yellow Flag laws, and so that didn't happen, and so there's an investigation
going on into why not how he was he able to continue to have guns
up until the point of last Wednesday's mass shootings Eighteen people killed, thirteen wounded
in two locations in Lewiston. Yeah, and we know that a note was
found and it had some bank information on it or something like that. Do
we know what else was in the note? Yeah. Authorities are describing it
not as a suicide note, but as a sort of an end of life
note, right, with banking information, other instructions to his son on what
to do in case he wasn't going to be around. But authority to say
a lot of it was rambling information, not fully coherent, but the banking
information and other instructions of what to do, how to get around, how
to get into his cell phone, things like that was in the note,
and so authorities are looking at it. They're also looking at his cell phone.
They've got a warrant to open it to look at what was inside.
Also his social media postings, things like that. All of that is being
looked at by investigators as they search for a motive. Okay, and you
mentioned earlier that the forty eight hours of terror is over now that he has
been found dead. But this community has a long way to go to heal
from this. So one of the things they held a vigil last night,
didn't they Yeah, there was a couple of visuals over the weekend, one
major one last night where the community of Lewiston and surrounding comunities really came together
to mourn, to support each other and to start the healing process. But
as you said, it's going to be a while. It's going to take
a long time. Because it's a small, tight knit community. A lot
of the people knew someone or knew someone else who knew some of the victims
in these shootings, and so it hit really close to home for a lot
of people, and just talking to people, you want into one in five
people it seems like knew someone very personally who was killed or seriously wounded in
the shootings, and so very very traumatic for this community. A lot of
emotion at the vigils that were held over the weekend, including the one last
night. All Right, ABC's Derek Dennis, thanks so much for giving us
the latest from Lewiston. Sure thing. Let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom in La and aid to
La City Council and Hugo Sodo Martinez has resigned over a social media post in
which he made Holocaust jokes about comedian Amy Schumer. Till Martinez called the post
disturbing and reprehensible. He didn't name the aid, but the man was later
Indeed, he allegedly traded posts on an account called Truannon. One reply compared
Schumer to a Nazi concentration camp and made disparaging comments about her weight. Hundreds
of people have stormed an airport in Russia looking for passengers arriving from the Israeli
city of Tel Aviv. Russian news reports say the crowd surrounded a plane yesterday,
which belongs to a Russian carrier Red Wings. Video on social media showed
some of the crowd waving Palestinian flags while others tried to overturn a police car.
Police could also be heard yelling anti Semitic chants. More than twenty people
were hurt. Sixty people were detained. The driver charged with killing four young
women in a high speed crash in Malibu is out on bail. Jail records
show he was released Friday, following his second arrest in connection with the crash
two weeks ago. His lawyer claims the twenty two year old was involved in
a road rage incident that started at UKs in Malibu and that he was being
chased. A trial is starting in Colorado to decide whether former President Trump is
eligible to appear on the state's ballot in twenty twenty four. ABC's Mark Remillard
says a group of voters in the state challenged Trump's eligibility under Section three of
the fourteenth Amendments, which bars someone from holding federal office if they've previously taken
an oath to support the Constitution and then engaged in an insurrection. The court
will examine several issues, including what it means to have engaged in an insurrection.
He says similar efforts to disqualify Trump are also going on in Michigan and
Minnesota. Today's National Wicked Day it's to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the hit
Broadway musical Wicked. Have you seen it? It is spectacular. It's the
fourth longest running show in Broadway history, based on the nineteen fifty five Gregory
McGuire novel Wicked. The Life Times of the Wicked Witch of the West,
of course that went on to become is based on the movie and the book.
The original production start in a Dina Menzel, who you hear singing right
there, Kristin Chenowith and Joel Gray. It won three Tony's and a Grammy,
and I'm so excited about this. The Wicked movie is expected out in
November of twenty twenty four. It'll be interesting to see if it's as good
as the Broadway show, because, like I said, that was fantastic.
Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Surprise Pence is
out. Phillips is in. Yeah, a big surprise. So who's Phillips.
We'll get to him in a second, So right. Mike Pence announced
on Saturday at the Republican Jewish Coalition event in Las Vegas, in the middle
of his speech that after prayerful consideration and what he didn't say, but what
he meant is a look at the polls, he's decided to drop out of
the race that he's not going to in the Republican nomination. He's not going
to defeat the president under whom he served or anybody else, and therefore he's
going to pull himself out of the running with more than a week to go
before the next presidential debate on the Republican side, which is November eighth in
Miami. So there's one fewer person, one less person on the stage.
It's now only twenty two. It looks like we'll have a field of maybe
five or six candidates on the debate stage next Wednesday night. This is narrowing
a bit, but look, national surveys have former President Donald Trump far and
away the leader on the Republican side. There's a new survey in Iowa this
morning that indicates that he is more than about thirty points ahead of his leading
rivals for the Republican nomination in Iowa. The leading rivals, of course,
Ronda Santis and Nikki Hayley, but they're thirty points back. So look,
Mike pants is out. I think it's more a story that kind of sort
of encapsulates the antipathy that republic Plicans feel toward Mike Pence for his refusal to
stand alongside Donald Trump when in the final days of the Trump presidency there were
calls for Mike Pence to do it no other vice president in history had done,
which is set aside to reject electoral votes send them back to the States,
as if to read inside the text of the Twelfth Amendment and Article two
of the Constitution that the vice president had some sort of extraordinary power that no
one had ever thought of before. Mike Penn said, no, that's not
exactly how this is supposed to work, and he stood up for the right
of the people in the States to choose their candidate, and ultimately you had
him vilified by former president and his supporters. So Mike Pence is out of
the running. And let's talk briefly now about Dean Phillips. He's a Democrat.
What's this Democrat from Minnesota. He is a three term member of Congress
who's decided that he wants to challenge Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination. Is
he currently in office? He is a Democratic member of Congress from Minnesota,
Okay, and he is stepping forward, not that he disagrees with Joe Biden
on policy, He's completely aligned with Joe Biden on policy. He simply argues
that Joe Biden risks losing to Donald Trump, and Dean Phillips says he's going
to put himself forward as a challenger who is frankly younger, about three decades
younger. Dean Phillips, I think, is fifty fifty four, fifty three
to fifty four, and Joe Biden is currently eighty. Next month turns eighty
one, and by the time he is elected to a second term, if
he's elected to its second term would be eighty two. And so Dean Phillips
is simply arguing that Democratic voters ought to have another choice. And what's interesting,
I think is the fact that Dean Phillips is putting himself forward in the
New Hampshire primary, which Joe Biden is essuwing and not participating it. And
why because Joe Biden has decided that South Carolina should go first for the Democrats,
that the Democratic electorate of South Carolina, because it's heavily black, is
more reflective of the Democratic Party nationally, and therefore South Carolina should go first
for the Democrats, never mind the long history of Iowa New Hampshire kicking off
the primary process for both parties in the United States. So Dean Phillips is
entering into the New Hampshire primary on the hopes that he can perform well because
Joe Biden likely won't be on the ballot, so he can say, hey,
I won the New Hampshire primary. I have a shot. But nobody
thinks he has a shot. Well. I mean, look, I think
it's unlikely that a no name who is coming up forward as a loan primary
challenger is going to somehow defeat an incumbent president. I don't think anyone's suggesting
that. But the question becomes know to what extent does Dean Phillips, who
are currently an unknown and a curiosity mainly among political reporters, start to put
himself forward and get attention and cause the Biden campaign to feel a bit of
heartburn. If nothing else, they have to perhaps spend a bit of mental
time and maybe even some money on this challenger, even though in New Hampshire,
the hope of the Biden campaign is that delegates from that state won't count
because the party on a national basis has decided to follow Joe Biden's direction and
have South Carolina come first, and New Hampshire decides that it's going to go
first regardless. Well, then the delegates to the convention who would otherwise be
chosen at the primary may not be seated and wouldn't count toward the ultimate outcome
anyway. So the idea that Joe Biden's not going to win the nomination is
not necessarily in the cards, but it becomes sort of emblematic of the challenge
that Joe Biden will face nationally trying to convince Americans that he is the right
man for another term in office. Frankly, given his age, and it's
an uncomfortable thing for the White House to talk about. They don't like to
talk about it. Joe Biden doesn't particularly seek me interested in talking about it,
except when he turns it around and says that his age reflects the wisdom
and experience that he brings uniquely to the table. Here's the thought, what
if he's getting in to raise his national exposure just in case Biden decides not
to run, or something happens between now an election day and since Kamala is
so widely, wildly unpopular, he puts himself as an alternative. Well,
you know, the polls indicate that Kamala Harris is unpopular as the president under
whom she serves, and Joe Biden is also for the most part unpopular.
I mean, he's I checked the five thirty eight averages, he's polling now
under forty percent, and that also lends itself to a primary challenge. But
look, you know, I think at the moment, there's no indication that
Joe Biden isn't going to run for a second term. He reserves, I
suppose the right to change his mind. We're really coming up pretty fast on
the process, really beginning in earnest history would tell you that passed incumbent,
well at least one past incumbent president, Linda Johnson, didn't announce that he
wasn't going to run until March of the election year. So I guess that
gives Joe Biden some time figure out whether he's truly going to run. But
anything can happen. I mean, that's the thing we have to remember,
certainly in our politics and in our current era, anything can happen. And
Dean Phillips is entering himself into the running. The idea that he is the
one who Democratic voters would choose, I think is a bit far afield relative
to others who might also put themselves for never a dull moment. Thank you
so much, Steven Portino. I appreciate your insights. A great day,
right exactly, Keep listening, Keep listening because there's more to count. Tell
your friends, Yeah, right, right, exactly, Thanks so much.
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. The La County Medical Examiner's Office has deferred the cause of death
for actor Matthew Perry, who was found dead in his hot time on Saturday.
ABC's Alex Jon says the initial results of an autopsy yesterday were inconclusive.
You will take toxicology tests to know exactly why he died, and getting those
results could take weeks. Perry had a history of drug and alcohol abuse.
TMZ says no illegal drugs were found at Perry's home, but there were lots
of prescription pills, including antidepressants, anxiety pills, and heart medication. Perry
was fifty four. A US appeals court has ruled California's assault weapons ban will
remain in force while the state appeals a lower court decision declaring the thirty year
old measure unconstitutional. A judge ruled this month that the band deprived law abiding

called the decision dangerous and misguided. For President Trump and three of his children
are expected to testify this week in the civil fraud trial against Trump in New
York. Donald Trump Junior is expected on the stand Wednesday, followed by Eric

you the latest on that. Let's get back to some of the stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A vigil has been held in
Maine to remember the eighteen people killed by an Army reservist who targeted a bowling
alley and a bar and grill. Investigators are trying to figure out if warning
signs about the shooter or miss. ABC News has learned card continue to have
access to weapons, despite a yellow flag law in Maine allowing guns to be
seized from individuals deemed a threat. ABC's Derek Dennis says the shooter tried to
buy a gun silencer in August, but was turned down because he had been
in a mental hospital. He says. Last month, the sheriff in Maine
reportedly sent an alert to local authority saying the man had threatened to shoot up
an RV an Arvy, an Army reserve center. Halloween weekend events have ended
in violence in several states. ABC's ran On Alley says at least eleven people
were killed and seventy six others hurt in twelve shootings across the country between Friday

House Speaker Mike Johnson says usaid for Ukraine and Israel will be considered separately.
President Biden has asked Congress for one hundred and six billion dollars in emergency
spending for Ukraine, Israel, and other foreign assistance. Johnson has said aid
for Ukraine would require more accountability on money already spent. He said House Republicans
would propose a fourteen and a half million dollar package for Israel. Former Vice
President Pence has suspended his run for presidents. This is not my time.
He didn't endorse anyone else running in twenty twenty four. But former President Trump
had an idea. I had a great, successful presidency, and he was
the vice president. He should endorse me. Trump spoke at a campaign event
in Las Vegas Saturday, hours after Pence made his announcement. During a speech
at the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas. Pence's latest campaign filing showed six
hundred thousand dollars in debt and one point two million in cash on hand.
The campaign also said he didn't have enough individual donors to qualify for the next
Republican primary debate. Investigators say two children under ten years old had been killed
by their father at a home in Lancaster. Detectives say those children's two siblings
were also injured by their father. All four were at the same home Saturday
night when a nine to one one call from their mother was placed just before
midnight. When deputies arrived, they said they found all four with severe and
deep cuts all over their bodies. They were rushed to a hospital, but
two were pronounced dead. The other two are expected to fully recover. Official
say Prospero Serna is the biological father and lives in San Bernardino County. He's
in custody, and detective say there's no apparent motive for the attacks. Steve

Legendary musician David Copperfield has announced his latest spectacular illusion. It's a lunar
extravaganza. Copperfield has announced plans to make the moon disappear. He said,
it's taken thirty years of work to develop the illusion, and I'm collaborating with,
say the children of amazing organizations to show the work the difference one person
can make. If one person can make the moon disappear from the sky,
then matched out together that we can make poverty and hunger and danger disappear for
our children, honor. He does. Today practice runs of the trick are
apparently going well, and he claims people have reported seeing strange things in the
sky at night all around the country. Sandy Wells k Off I News.
Okay, I'm looking forward to that, except I hate when you'd make the
moon disappear. Love the moon. Don't we have a full moon? Is
it tonight? Was it last night? I don't know. So, you
know, the holidays are just around the corner, and if you haven't booked
your holiday travel plans, there are some travel experts who are saying, if
you don't do it now, just forget it. Carol Mueller is the vice
president at Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection. She says the longer you wait, the
more expensive. It's going to be, so book it as soon as possible,
and that is if you're lucky, because flights and rental cars and rooms
are selling out fast, and travel experts are saying it could be difficult to
book anything by thanks or Thanksgiving because it's like less than a month away,
and then Christmas and New Year's are getting harder and harder by the day.
So they're saying that a lot of people are just saying, we're just not
gonna deal with it. It's too expensive, so we're going to stay at
home or just go somewhere close by. The travel period for the US for
the holidays is the last week in November to the first week in January.
The one good thing about that is if you are traveling, domestic travel prices
are down compared to last holiday period, but finding a flight is where the
challenge is. Hey, we've got a new addition at the San Diego Zoo.
I love to hear about new babies, and this one is so adorable.
For the first time in nearly thirteen years, an Emperor penguin chick has
hatched at SeaWorld in San Diego, and apparently SeaWorld in San Diego is the
only zoo in the Western hemisphere where there are emperor penguins, which are a
threatened species. They of course are up in the coal. They don't fly
because they're penguins, but their habitat is in danger because of the melting ice
and the climate change and all of that stuff. So they've got this chick
and they're watching it and it takes usually like sixty five to seventy two days
to hatch. But this little guy starts hatching. Actually it's a little girl.
She starts hatching and then she stops. So apparently they peck their way
out right, she breaks through the initial membrane and the hatching process can take
a few days, but then she kind of just stopped and they couldn't figure
out what was going on, and so they watched her and watched her and
then said, okay, it's time for us to step in and help.
So they had little crews that helped her hatch because they chipped away at the
eggshell like very slowly over a period of like three days, and eventually out
she came. And now she's doing well. She's actually been here since September,
and you can go to the San Diego zoos website and check out the
new baby, Empire Emperor Penguin. She is doing well. She's eating fish
milkshakes God that sounds gross, and gaining five to ten percent of her body
weight every day. Absolutely da. She didn't have a name yet. If
you're interested, you can go to the San Diego Zoo website and suggest a
name for the new baby. This is KFI and kost HD two Los Angeles,
