What do you want 3 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:21.079 for Christmas? Little boy? My mind is gone black? Frantically I tried 4 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.199 to remember what it was I wanted. I was blowing and blowing up, 5 00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:36.479 canted all about nice football? Nor should you want? You should your eye 6 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:45.079 out? Kid? Merry Christmas? How?

You should you ry out? 9 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.159 Good morning, It's five o'clock. This is your wake up call. 10 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:07.799 It's Thursday, December seventh. I'm Amy King. December seventh. That means 11 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.640 eighteen days till Christmas? Or is it seventeen days? I'm not sure about 12 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.359 this countdown thing? Do we count the day before? So? The big 13 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.760 debate was last night, and I love debates. Think I've told you before 14 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.239 that I am obsessed with watching debates. I just like the interaction, the 15 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.200 arguments, the yelling over each other, and every once in a while they 16 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.879 make a good point. Well, I missed a lot of this one because 17 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.959 I couldn't find it. It was on News Nation, So I'm trying to 18 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.640 download the app onto my TV and then it's going and then when it finally 19 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.560 comes up, it says debate starts in a few hours, so it's like, 20 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.959 okay, News Nation is on East Coast time. That doesn't help me. 21 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.879 So I finally found it on CW, but it had started at five 22 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.920 night, not six like that they had told us, and so I missed 23 00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:00.280 half of it. We're gonna be talking more about that with Steve Portnoy with 24 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.359 ABC. He saw the whole thing, so we're going to get his take 25 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.080 on it. We'd love to hear your take on it too. Here's what's 26 00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:12.039 ahead on wake Up Call. The shooter who killed three people at the University 27 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.520 of Nevada Las Vegas on Wednesday was apparently a college professor who had applied for 28 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.000 a job at UNLV but didn't get it. The man was killed by police 29 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.120 yesterday. A fourth person shots in critical condition. We're going to find out 30 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.159 the latest with ABC's Alex Stone in just about four minutes, so stick around. 31 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.680 Professors, lecturers, librarians, counselors, and coaches at Sacramento State are 32 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.479 hitting the picket lines for a fourth day of a one campus per day strike 33 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.560 for better pay, parental leave, and improved health and safety. Faculty walked 34 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:49.000 out at cal State LA yesterday Today is the last day for Medicare open enrollment. 35 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.479 We talked with the president and CEO of Inland Valley Humane Society yesterday on 36 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.439 wake Up Call, and if you did miss it, please do go check 37 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.840 it out. It's up on the wake Up Call page on KFI AM six 38 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:07.919 forty. Really interesting to hear about why the shelters are so packed to the 39 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.960 rafters right now and what you can do about it, whether it's volunteering or 40 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.199 donating or maybe fostering or even adopting a new family member just in time for 41 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:20.879 Christmas. But again, that's on the wake Up Call page on KFI AM 42 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.520 sixty dot com. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of 43 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:29.680 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Four of the presidential candidates have met for 44 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.840 a fourth Republican debate at the University of Alabama. Donald Trump wasn't there. 45 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.879 When former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley was asked about what she would do to build 46 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.199 the economy, she took the opportunity to criticize the former president and his economic 47 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.479 policy. As much as everybody wants to talk about how Donald Trump had a 48 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:53.319 good economy, nine trillion dollars in debt, he did just in four years 49 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.719 and we're all paying the price of that. Hailey is rising in the polls 50 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.840 as the race for second place heats up. Investigators say they need help finding 51 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.360 the killer of a young man in Compton. Elly County Sheriff's Lieutenant Mike Gomez 52 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.560 says Miguel Prato was not in a gang and was sitting in an suv with 53 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.960 his girlfriend on August eighteenth when someone walked up and opened fire. Investigators believe 54 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:19.399 that the shooting was gang related and Prado was the innocent victim of a senseless 55 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.839 act of violence. Gomez says a light colored sedan was seen speeding away from 56 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.800 the scene at one twenty two East Caldwell Street. Compton Mayor Amash Reef says 57 00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:32.160 Proto had just finished an eight hour shift as he recently obtained his security guard 58 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.120 license. In Compton. Steve Gregory kf I News Army Coor of Engineers had 59 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:41.360 started dredging sand as part of a twenty three million dollar project to replenish seventeen 60 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.560 miles of beaches in Orange County Newport Beaches. John Pope says the goal is 61 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.360 to replace the natural flow of sand that was blocked when the FEDS built jetties, 62 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:53.720 breakwaters, and other projects in the areas where the beach gets more narrow 63 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.439 Because of the loss of sand, it's more prone to flooding and high tides. 64 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.720 That water gets up into parking lights, into streets, and potentially into 65 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:09.519 people's homes. Pope says by February, Cruz will have dredged almost two million 66 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:15.920 tons of sand to be deposited along Sunset and surfside beaches. He says the 67 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.399 sand will flow naturally to replenish beaches to the south, but the project will 68 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:26.759 need to be completed on a regular basis to really address the problem. Now, 69 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.600 let's take an early look at our morning commute with our very own Nick 70 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.600 Paula Yocchini, who is exhausted because he was at Disneyland for the Coast Holiday 71 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.240 party last night.

Let's 99 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.959 say good morning now to ABC's Alex Stone. Good morning, Alex. We 100 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.120 know that every good morning. We know that three people were killed and police 101 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.639 took out the shooter. But we've got more information. What's the latest on 102 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:28.160 the UNLV shooting? We do, and we learned quite a bit overnight that 103 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.480 the police are now compiling. So we know that the shooter was an older 104 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:36.399 gentleman sixty seven years old, not a student. Anthony Poalito his name and 105 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:42.319 number of sources overnight telling us that he had applied to be a professor at 106 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.000 UNLV but did not get the job. They don't know if that was the 107 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:51.680 motive, but that's definitely something that they are zeroing in on at this point. 108 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:57.480 It appears that the three who were killed were not students. They were 109 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.439 faculty in staff, which would indicate the me this was targeted in some way 110 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.519 to not getting the job, but they've got to figure that out. They've 111 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.639 been searching his home overnight that they have his cell phone. They're going through 112 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.399 that right now. He has ties to North Carolina and Georgia where he worked 113 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.720 as a professor. And it was a shootout in the end with two detectives 114 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.040 that ended all of this, and the sheriff in Vegas saying that was the 115 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.839 key that saved a lot of lives, saying this so it hadn't been for 116 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.800 the heroic actions of one of those police officers who responded, it could have 117 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:37.279 been countless additional lives taken. They were UNLV campus detectives who went running in 118 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:43.240 and like police are trained to do now that they don't wait for uniformed police 119 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.360 or heavily armed police, that they go in and they try to neutralize that 120 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.120 threat, as police would say. And that is what those two detectives who 121 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.720 were campus detectives, what they did when they heard the calls for help, 122 00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.759 and then there was that shootout and he was shot and killed. So still 123 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.000 a lot they've got to figure out. We know he had one handgun in 124 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.159 this attack. He was not heavily armed. They are working on where that 125 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.200 gun came from, if that was legally his. Quite possibly it was, 126 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.559 you know, quite easy to get a handgun, so there's not a big 127 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.279 mystery there of where that would come from. But they they're trying to put 128 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:26.600 together those last parts today and figure out the why and if it is related 129 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.720 to him not getting the job and if he was angry. But there was 130 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.960 a lot of panic on campus yesterday, students who were sheltering in their rooms 131 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.600 for many hours they heard the gun shots. That there was a lot of 132 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.679 worry. Yeah, and you know when the campus started putting out it's alerts 133 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.919 on x or whatever social media that they put it out on. They put 134 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.960 out the run hide and fight. That's a scary message because they're not just 135 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.000 saying lock the doors. They're saying fight like this that I just can't imagine. 136 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.879 I haven't left have that happen. But you know, it's so it's 137 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.159 unsettling that they're saying, you know what, maybe you need to get involved. 138 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.879 They're not armed. Yeah, that's yeah, that's that's the messaging now 139 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.759 anytime there's an active shooter and when they know it's confirmed and when they don't 140 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.919 have it contained. And in this case, it started in the Business School 141 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:26.279 building and then moved to the student union area and was getting very close to 142 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.399 a gathering area where they've got big legos and things where students can at lunch, 143 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.879 you know, play and kind of collaborate like you would see at a 144 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.639 restaurant or maybe a brewery somewhere where they've got like Jenga and different things to 145 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:43.120 play around with. So would have been close to a really populated area on 146 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.039 campus right around lunchtime. So that the messaging was, you know, get 147 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.200 out of there, and if you can't get out of there, save your 148 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:56.799 own life and do what you need to do to stay alive. And so 149 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.080 students, yeah, they were given that message, and you know, we 150 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:05.679 heard the audio of students evacuating and they were hyperventilating as they were doing it. 151 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.600 I mean you can hear them freaking out. Totally understandably that the worry 152 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.600 was so great, knowing that there was a shooter on campus and police were 153 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.039 coming in everybody but their hands up, and you know, everybody in the 154 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.639 classroom sitting there with guns drawn on them by SWAT team members moving in and 155 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.720 then getting them out one by one. It is I mean, it's frightening 156 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:30.799 what they went through yesterday. And it's Las Vegas, only a couple of 157 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:35.360 miles away from the Vegas Strip. Think of what happened in twenty seventeen and 158 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.639 everything that the Las Vegas has been through. That that sparked a lot of 159 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.840 those memories. Yeah. Well, luckily, I mean not luckily. I'm 160 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.440 glad that they took out the shooter and that more people weren't killed, but 161 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.320 god, three people lost their lives yesterday because of this. It's ridiculous. 162 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.039 Alex Stone, thank you so much for the information. Appreciate the new developments 163 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.360 that you shared with us today. You got it, Thanky Gamy. All 164 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:00.000 right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 165 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.240 twenty four hour newsroom. A teen boy says he has also been attacked by 166 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.320 the man accused of sucker punching a grandfather pushing a stroller in Calabasas.

From protecting myself pretty good 171 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.720 hit him in the stomach, but it wasn't really that effective. The boy 172 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:28.799 was able to get away, had some minor injuries. He says when the 173 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.840 guy walked up to him, he didn't say a word.

Over ninety RVs were parked on this stretch of Forest 179 00:12:54.480 --> 00:13:01.120 Lawn Drive for years. This is a sophisticated operation, one that involves a 180 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.639 lot of partners. Partners like the Department of Public Health who are working to 181 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.600 sanitize the human waste left at the site. City and county officials will be 182 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.799 working with the people who were living in the vehicles to help them find housing 183 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.639 and other resources.

I spilled my oatmeal like 204 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.480 everywhere, all over the kitchen, in the microwave, on the counter, 205 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.559 on the floor, and on myself, And then I smelled like strawberries and 206 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.960 oatmeal for the rest of the morning. I went and I was heating up 207 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.519 my oatmeal. Just a second ago, I spilled it again, not as 208 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:01.919 much. I still have some. I'm glad, but I'm like, what 209 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.240 are the odds? What is going on? Maybe it's my body revolting against 210 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.440 having oatmeal every day for the last six months. I don't know. Anyway, 211 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.159 Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The shooter 212 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:18.600 who killed three people at the University of Nevada Las Vegas on Wednesday was apparently 213 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:24.000 a college professor who had applied for a job at UNLV but didn't get it. 214 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.200 The man was killed by police yesterday.

Investigators say there 219 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.879 could still be thousands of tampered with gift cards on racks.

Jill Biden is also touring research labs at Cedar Sinai Medical 222 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.399 Center at six so five. It's handle on the news. The big debate 223 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:08.639 was last night, were there any winners and was anyone watching right now? 224 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:15.679 Let's say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, Israel continues 225 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.200 its assault on han Unis. What is the latest, Well, the Israeli 226 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:29.600 forces are facing intense combat u in han Unis in southern Gaza. We're hearing 227 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:36.360 there are essentially four Hamas battalions that work out of Hon Yunis. It's going 228 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:47.840 to take Israel Military analysts expect several weeks for Israel to really dismantle, destroy 229 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:53.879 or significantly, you know, h impact Hamas's military assets there and han Unis. 230 00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:00.960 But that that effort has begun. Is soldiers have also encircled the home 231 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:07.200 of jach Sinoir. He's the top of the wanted list for Israel. He's 232 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:14.480 the head of Tamasa's military wing. He masterminded the October seventh attack his home, 233 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.599 which has also been destroyed again soldiers there kind of symbolically because he's not 234 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:26.480 there, he's likely hiding in the tunnel somewhere underneath hon units and then you 235 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:33.759 know, complicating the battlefield or all the Gosen civilians that are just to the 236 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.799 east, even some to the west of Hongunis and south. You know, 237 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:42.440 Israel asked hundreds of thousands of Gosdens to leave the north and go south, 238 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:48.240 and they have almost a million did and now they're down there and they feel 239 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.240 like there's you know, not doesn't feel like there's a safe place to run 240 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.880 or hide or take shelter because now all the fighting is in the south as 241 00:17:55.920 --> 00:18:02.200 well. Israel has drop leaflets and an interactive map, but it has to 242 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:06.519 be said, you know, not everyone can access the interactive map. When 243 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:14.519 you know, cellular phones are not working consistently on the internet on and off, 244 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.119 and people are terrified. Some people just don't you know, they don't 245 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.720 want to leave. They don't want to move if they've already moved once, 246 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.119 and you know, people have died while they're trying to move from one place 247 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:32.839 to the next. So you know, I think until Israel actually carves out 248 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:41.559 safe zones where there's a guarantee of no artillery and no airstrikes, that will 249 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:48.839 be the only thing that may bring a modicum of safety to people in Gaza, 250 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.640 because right now there are safer zones, but there's still not free of 251 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:57.839 war. Yeah, it's safer zones, not safe zones exactly. Yeah, 252 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:04.400 your Dana. I'm curious as to the is Hamas firing still into Israel. 253 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:08.640 When this all started, Hamas was just you know, launching rockets into actual 254 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:14.839 Israel. But now that the Israeli forces are in the Gaza Strip, are 255 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:18.640 they still firing into Israel or are they just firing at the Israeli military in 256 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:25.640 the Strip. No, they're still firing on southern Israel. And there were 257 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:33.799 sirens, several sirens went off today around the what's called the Gaza periphery, 258 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.720 all the communities that are there. Most people have left those communities, but 259 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:45.319 nonetheless there's you know, Israel's main camp of troops and tanks are there, 260 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:52.039 so it's still it's still a target, and there's It doesn't make the headlines 261 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:57.039 all that often right now, but there's still several exchanges every day of fire 262 00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:04.119 between Hasbala, the running backed militant group that satan Israel's northern border in Lebanon, 263 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:10.000 and the Israeli army there's back and forth every day. Yeah, we 264 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.119 don't hear about that. And is that the iron Dome takes care of most 265 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:18.519 of that. Well, the iron Dome takes care of some of it. 266 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:26.519 And Israel carries out strikes on the cells. The Lebanese that she has all 267 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.720 of cells that are firing. Okay, they will attack the cells, all 268 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.920 right, jor Dana Miller. Thank you so much as always for the information, 269 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:37.559 and we will check in with you again soon as we continue to follow 270 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.880 the Israel Hamas war.

In 336 00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:27.240 just to saying I want to talk about the Ancient Forest. We hadn't wandered 337 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:32.160 through that a little bit earlier, so tell us about what is in the 338 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.279 ancient forest. So the Ancient forest is an area at Tusconsa where we have 339 00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:40.880 our redwoods and our psychedds. There really these Jurassic plants during the day and 340 00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:45.319 at night we've lit it so it looks like it's full of millions of fireflies. 341 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.319 It's really a highlight of Enchanted. It really is, and it's something 342 00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:52.119 that you need to come out and see for yourself. And I will tell 343 00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:53.799 you. We got to go and wander through it a little bit earlier and 344 00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.400 we were going, I'm waiting for a velociraptor to come out, and it 345 00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:03.519 looks ancient and then with the lighting, those so beautiful and warm and how 346 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:08.599 did Enchanted start? So in twenty sixteen we had a Halloween show here and 347 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:14.799 it was really popular and our CEO, Julianne Rook, watched everyone come in 348 00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:18.640 and enjoy it, and she thought we should have a winter light show and 349 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:21.400 it should be about the garden. Yeah, And so she went all of 350 00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.119 the United States looking at all the light shows, and then when she came 351 00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:27.720 back, she invented this and it's really unique just to Desconso Garden and it's 352 00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:32.799 loosely based on something you found in a very chilly place. Yes, So 353 00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.519 one of the mort Narboretam has a show that is very based on their garden 354 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:41.720 and it's in Chicago, so it's snowy there. So Teslin, what makes 355 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:47.319 sense to a winter show here? Yeah, southern California where it's not freezing 356 00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:48.839 cold. This is much better. And some of the people who worked at 357 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:53.319 that place in Chicago followed you here, correct. So our creative director who's 358 00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:57.440 in charge of all of this, he came and thought the show through with 359 00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:00.519 all of us. And every year we sit down and we think what can 360 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:04.920 we do better, what can we do different? And it just evolves. 361 00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:08.079 So Enchanted is different every year. Yes, So if you've already been to 362 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.599 Discones Gardens, you should still come back. You should definitely come back. 363 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.039 And this year we've made this huge change because it is about all our special 364 00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.200 areas and we have never been in the Rose Garden before, and now the 365 00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.720 entire Rose garden's activated with lights and art and it's just beautiful. Okay. 366 00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.559 And we're standing on the edge of the rose garden now, so we're going 367 00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.559 to wander over and we need you to paint a picture for us of what 368 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:36.039 people are seeing here because this is it's just like mind blowing. It's so 369 00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:41.039 cool. So this is from the minds of La based artist Hebecosoh. They 370 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:47.960 go to birding Man and a lot of the festivals and they do these beautiful 371 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.200 geometric shapes. It's all based on math and science, and I mean it's 372 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.839 really hard to describe just how just magical it is. It is. So 373 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:04.440 in this space where the install is, there's like eight nine and these geometric 374 00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:08.279 shapes with all different designs on them and they look like lanterns. They have 375 00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.640 the glow of like a lantern and they're so beautiful. And then there's music 376 00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:17.400 that you can hear in the background that's mixed in and you can wander around 377 00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.000 in them. And that's what the cool thing is about this place is you 378 00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:22.920 just go wander. I always say Disconso is a place you come to discover 379 00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.920 things, and it feels that way and enchanted too, and he be Koso 380 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.039 I love it because even when you look on the ground, it's reflecting these 381 00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.119 beautiful patterns. When you look in the trees, it's reflecting these beautiful patterns. 382 00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:38.680 So it's all about looking around and seeing nature and what we've done. 383 00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:41.559 Okay, and when can people come see this? So we are open through 384 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:47.559 January seventh, so even after the holidayes five thirty to ten every night. 385 00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.359 Okay. Parking is free and you can get tickets at Disconsogardens dot org. 386 00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:55.559 And the other cool thing about it, Jen is that you stagger the people 387 00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:57.160 coming in, Like everybody doesn't come in at five point thirty, right, 388 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:02.440 correct, So we have people buy tickets every half an hour. That way, 389 00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:06.200 your experience is really nice. We don't want you to be crowded in 390 00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:08.400 here. We want you to just enjoy and have a great family time, 391 00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:12.079 a great date, just a great night out and maybe a great proposal. 392 00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:18.799 Maybe Arlai Garden. It is Enchanted at Disconso Garden going on this holiday. 393 00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.000 That's where we took our Southern California sleigh ride this week. Come out and 394 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.559 see it. I'm gonna be posting some video of our interviews so you can 395 00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.359 see some of Enchanted. It's really really amazing and like I said, like 396 00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:33.839 we were talking about, it's not Christmas themed, it's winter themed. And 397 00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:38.920 it's so just like peaceful and ethereal and just and with the weather so nice 398 00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.519 here, just go stroll in the gardens. Of course, you can go 399 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:47.440 see Enchanted for yourself. Tickets are available at Disconsogardens dot orgon If you want 400 00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:51.079 that sneak peek, you can see that at Amy Kking. I'm gonna be 401 00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:53.079 posting that video. I put up a video last night, a short one 402 00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:57.319 if you want to check that out now, and it's also at at KFI 403 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:03.079 AM six forty so you can see. Let's get back to some of the 404 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:06.720 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. I was just hoping 405 00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:10.079 to get away alive. Class has been canceled for the rest of the week 406 00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:14.160 following a fatal shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. At least 407 00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.680 three people have been killed. A fourth person is in critical condition. Police 408 00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:22.119 say they killed the shooter. The student says he heard alarms go off yesterday 409 00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:25.440 morning. I just assumed there was a fire drill. I put my laptop 410 00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:27.039 back in my bag, I put it on and I heard six more loud 411 00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:32.000 bangs, so I'm like, oh, this isn't a business series. UNLV 412 00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:36.920 said the shooter was at the home of the business school. The shooting temporarily 413 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.559 shut down airspace at Harry Reid International Airport and the Vegas Strip. Four Republican 414 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:47.160 presidential candidates have duked it out in a debate at the University of Alabama. 415 00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:49.720 First to speak in last night's debate was Florida Governor Ron De Santis. He 416 00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:53.799 quickly attacked Nicki Haley, saying she doesn't stand up to Democrats. I have 417 00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:56.599 delivered results, so that's what we need for this country. And you have 418 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:03.440 other candidates up here like Nicki Haley caves anytime the left comes after, anytime 419 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.799 the media comes after. Hayley's been getting more interest from donors and voters. 420 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:11.720 She took the brunt of the attacks in last night's debate. A two year 421 00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.640 investigation into a twenty five thousand gallon oil spill in Huntington Beach has resulted in 422 00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:22.279 multiple federal recommendations. The NTSB determined anchors from two container ships dragged along the 423 00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.119 ocean floor, damaging the pipeline. The twenty twenty one spill killed fish, 424 00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:30.480 and birds, damaged wetlands and hurt local businesses. Federal investigators Tuesday recommended larger 425 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:34.920 buffer zones between oil pipelines and where ships can anchor better leak alert systems, 426 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:40.880 more accurate tracking of container ships, and more. Investigators also found operators lacked 427 00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:44.359 training to alert of a problem, which led to a more than fourteen hour 428 00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:48.440 delay after the first leak alarm sounded in Orange County. Corbin Carson k if 429 00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.960 I News. The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous beach advisory in southern 430 00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:57.759 California. Forecasters say big waves and dangerous recurrents will continue over the next couple 431 00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:02.079 of days. They say the condition will increase risk of drowning and have warned 432 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:07.440 beach goovers to stay off rock walls and jetties. Conditions will start to improve 433 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:14.480 following the peak.

Police say the grandfather sucker 441 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:51.759 punched in Calabasas may have been the victim of a hate crime. The man 442 00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:57.079 attacked may have been targeted because he is of Asian American or Pacific Islander descent. 443 00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:00.839 The l Kenniy Sheriff's Department arrested a man yes day in the attack. 444 00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:05.400 They say the same guy attacked a boy of Asian descent on the same day. 445 00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:09.759 A gift card scam has been uncovered involving fifty four target stores from Los 446 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:14.920 Angeles to the San Francisco Bay area. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office picked up 447 00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:19.559 more than fifty seven hundred gift cards and said a third of them are fake. 448 00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:22.160 All are linked to one person who's been arrested. Investigators say there could 449 00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:27.960 still be thousands of tampered with gift cards on store shelves or racks. A 450 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:34.000 company in northern California has launched and landed a pilotless plane. The CEO of 451 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.759 Reliable Robotics, who developed the automation system, once worked for SpaceX. He 452 00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:43.839 says he believes his technology will improve the safety of pilotless planes. Okay, 453 00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:45.880 that scares me. We're just minutes away from handle. On the news this 454 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:50.279 morning, the border has gotten in the way of getting aid to Israel and 455 00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:54.839 Ukraine. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's national correspondent, Stephen 456 00:33:55.039 --> 00:34:00.359 Portnoy. Good morning, Stephen. Four candidates were on the stay always good 457 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:05.759 and bad about this one. Well, I'll leave it to others to decide 458 00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:09.440 what they liked and didn't like. But let's see what happened last time. 459 00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:14.519 And look, Nikki Haley has momentum, She has the backing of influential donors, 460 00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:17.519 and so she took on the attacks from Ron DeSantis and Vek Ramaswami. 461 00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:25.960 Ramaswami called Nikki Haley corrupt because of her ties to corporations and fascist because she 462 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.360 has said that she doesn't think that it's good that people can post things anonymously 463 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.400 on the Internet without their names attached, and she said that people should have 464 00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:37.880 to submit their identity to the social media companies. Before they're allowed to post 465 00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:43.039 online. Haley said that she'd crush Joe Biden and that her counterparts on the 466 00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:46.880 stage were just jealous that she got the endorsements from the Koch Brothers network and 467 00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:52.840 others and not them. Chris Christi used his time mainly to go after Donald 468 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.800 Trump, who's been leading these candidates on the stage in the polls by anywhere 469 00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.360 from twenty to forty more more points in the key early states. Now, 470 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:05.440 this appears to be the last debate before Iowa and New Hampshire unless one should 471 00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.239 materialize. No more have been scheduled. Doesn't mean there won't be another debate, 472 00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:12.480 just that this moment we're not aware of any other debates and the thirty 473 00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:16.960 nine days between now and the Iowa CAUCUSUS Now, it was contentious last night. 474 00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:22.440 Chris Christy went hard at Ramaswami, calling him an obnoxious blowhard. He 475 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:29.519 defended Nikki Haley from the Entrepreneur's attacks. At one point, Ramaswami invoked conspiracy 476 00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:34.480 theories. He said January sixth was an inside job. He said that the 477 00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:38.000 racist great replacement theory, the idea of importing immigrants to this country to replace 478 00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:45.000 white people, is a Biden strategy. So it was a messy scene and 479 00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:49.079 in the end, I think it not much happened last night to change the 480 00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:53.039 dynamic of the race, which has Donald Trump far and away coasting to the 481 00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:58.800 Republican nomination as the leader. And it's not by when you say far and 482 00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:05.039 away, it's by like fifty points in some polls. Well, I mean, 483 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:08.519 look nationally, Donald Trump enjoys majority support, which means that if you 484 00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:12.679 were to add up all the support that Nikki Haley, Rhondas Anderson of ek 485 00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:16.760 Ramaswami now have, you still wouldn't top the support that Donald Trump has. 486 00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:21.760 And it was really interesting last night. In some of his strongest moments, 487 00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:24.320 Chris Christie, who's not going to be the Republican nominee, it it appears, 488 00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:30.440 he went after Donald Trump hard and said that you know, he's not 489 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:35.199 fit to serve and that the other candidates are afraid to offend Republican voters when 490 00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:40.480 he and concluding by saying that it's very likely in Chris Christie's mind that Donald 491 00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:45.000 Trump will be a convicted felon by next election day and that he won't even 492 00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:50.760 be able to vote for himself. The audience responded by booing him, which 493 00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:53.119 gives you the sense that even if people in the audience were supporting anyone of 494 00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:58.199 the candidates on stage, they do not like that kind of criticism of the 495 00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:02.239 former president. Yeah. Are there any rumblings that you've heard about that Trump 496 00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:06.280 might ever show up for a debate or there's just no point in it for 497 00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.599 him because he's so far ahead. Well, again, there are no more 498 00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:13.679 debates scheduled between now and New Hampshire, Iowa. Anything can happen, but 499 00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:15.199 for the moment there's no indication. And why would he if you look at 500 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:19.079 the strategy. The strategy was to try to seem to appear above it, 501 00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:24.119 not to get dragged down by his opponents and have them be on a level 502 00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:28.960 playing field. So he's decided not to participate. What does it mean for 503 00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:34.519 future debates generally? I don't know. For the last sixty plus years, 504 00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:38.519 we in this country have enjoyed the idea of candidates on stage exchanging their views 505 00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:43.519 for the public to hear and see. But in this case, Donald Trump 506 00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:47.360 is demonstrating the value of not participating. And I wonder what kind of broader 507 00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:51.280 impact that might have on these kind of forms going forward. Yeah, I 508 00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:54.119 guess I'll have to wait and see interesting. Steven Portnoy, thank you so 509 00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:57.519 much for your time and insight. I'm glad you got to see the whole 510 00:37:57.559 --> 00:37:59.639 debate. I had to miss half of it because I couldn't find it on 511 00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:05.400 news. Oh well, I'll leave that to you and next star to work 512 00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.880 out, all right, Thanks Steve. Let's get back to some of the 513 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:12.760 stories coming out of the KF twenty four hour newsroom. Multiple RVs and other 514 00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:16.679 vehicles lining the street outside Forest Lawn and LA have been towed. It's part 515 00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:21.440 of an effort to clean up the city. LA County Supervisor Catherine Barger says 516 00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:25.400 more than ninety vehicles have been parked outside the cemetery for years. I am 517 00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:31.800 a strong believer that this work can be done compassionately and in a way that 518 00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:38.039 preserves a dignity of people experiencing homelessness. Barker was on site yesterday as the 519 00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:42.800 vehicles were towed, saying that people living inside the RVs were given plenty of 520 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:45.719 notice that a cleanup was about to happen. She says the city's going to 521 00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:50.440 be working with the homeless to help them relocate. Business owners impacted by that 522 00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:52.920 mass shooting in Monterey Park have less than a month left to apply for a 523 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:58.360 federal loan. The Small Business Administration has allowed money set aside for natural disasters 524 00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:01.400 to also be used for businesses to suffered following the shooting in January that left 525 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:06.079 eleven people dead. The low interest loans can be used for most all business 526 00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:10.480 expenses, including payroll and inventory. Local lawmakers successfully lobbied federal officials and the 527 00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:15.559 White House to free up the money. Officials estimated more than sixty businesses were 528 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:20.679 negatively impacted by the shooting. Steve Gregory, King of Fineows US State Department 529 00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:24.519 has called again for fewer civilian deaths than the Israel Hamas War Department spokesman Matthew 530 00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:30.400 Miller said yesterday too many Palestinian civilians have been killed in the Gaza Strip and 531 00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:34.800 that they were having, as he put it, frank discussions with Israel about 532 00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:38.480 it. Miller says part of the problem is that Hamas is embedding itself in 533 00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:43.760 civilian areas, but added the burden is still on Israel to do everything it 534 00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:47.320 can to reduce civilian harm. President Biden and the First Lady are headed to 535 00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:52.440 La. The White House says they'll be showing up tomorrow to tour research labs 536 00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:57.280 as part of the Initiative on Women's Health Research. First Lady is expected to 537 00:39:57.360 --> 00:40:00.679 visit the Barber Streis and Women's Heart Center and SMIT Heart Institute, as well 538 00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:05.800 as speak at a political finance event for the Biden Victory Fund on Saturday, 539 00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:09.079 and of course, a big Hollywood fundraiser is also happening over the weekend. 540 00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:14.880 Veterinarians say your pets may be feeling the stress of the holidays too. Doctor 541 00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:17.920 Susan Nelson says, from loud bashes to quiet dinner parties, there are things 542 00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.239 you can do to help calm your pet when there's extra commotion around the house. 543 00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:25.079 There's verbal supplements that can be safe and effective for mild stress to help 544 00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:29.320 with that, and then for ones who really get stressed and bothered, we 545 00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:32.400 can even look at some prescription medications if needed. Over the holidays, Nelson 546 00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:37.599 says owners can first try locking their pets away in a quiet bedroom or inside 547 00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:43.400 a crate to help lower the animals stress levels. Maybe people should do that 548 00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:47.119 lock themselves in the back bedroom during the holidays.
