WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:05.440 You're listening to camp I Am six forty the Bill Handles show on demand on 2 00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:13.480 the iHeartRadio f k f I and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:33.000 Now that I prove wake up your host, Amy Kay, it's five 4 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:38.159 o'clock. Good morning. This is your wake up call for Thursday, November 5 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:43.240 thirtieth. I'm Amy King, thrilled that you're joining us this morning. Hey, 6 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.759 we're going to go out and about and take southern California sleigh rides starting 7 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.000 today. We're going to go and check out some of the really cool things 8 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.799 you can do for the holidays around southern California, and maybe some gift giving 9 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.920 ideas. It might be not traditional, and I was reminded of that yes 10 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.120 today because I went and got a massage. It was like it's time I 11 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.280 need to pamper me. So I went and got a massage, and I 12 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.680 was like, that would be a cool Christmas present, because you know, 13 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.239 like people are now looking for experiences rather than things, and then you have 14 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.640 like someone like my mom who she kind of has everything she wants. And 15 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.680 actually we were talking to Dean Sharp and he basically said, I kind of 16 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:25.760 just go get the things that I want what you can't give things to? 17 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:30.359 Are you why you can't? Or let me see let me rephrase. Wait, 18 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.599 while you can always give things to people, you can't always give them 19 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.239 experiences. So maybe that's a good way to go. I don't know, 20 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.799 just a thought. Uh, we're gonna mention pastathon. We've got over a 21 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.159 million dollars in donations and there's still time for you to donate to make us 22 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.159 hit our goal of beating last year by one dollar. So if you want 23 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:59.560 to go to pastathon dot com, there are still auction items up for grabs 24 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.640 and there's some really great ones, including going to Sea Dodgers game with Gary 25 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.599 and Shannon, co hosting the John coblt Show with John Cobelt for an hour. 26 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:14.240 You can have Dean Sharp, the house Whisperer come whisper to your home. 27 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.439 Lots and lots of really great things. Here's what's ahead on wake Up 28 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:23.599 Call. The Los Angeles Police Department has more officers patrolling LA Live after a 29 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.039 deadly shooting on Tuesday night. A man in his forties was shot and killed 30 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.719 while he was eating at a soul food restaurant. The suspect got away. 31 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:36.319 Police say the shooter knew the man he shot. Henry Kissinger has died. 32 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.759 The former Secretary of State was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in nineteen seventy three 33 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.360 after he negotiated a ceasefire agreement between the US and Vietnam. He was one 34 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.280 hundred. We're going to be talking more about the life and legacy of Kissinger 35 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.280 with ABC's Stephen Portnoy. At five point fifty. Disney CEO Bob Iger says 36 00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.159 he will definitely step down when his contract expires in twenty twenty six. Took 37 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.400 over Disney last year four a second time after Bob Chapik was removed by the 38 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.800 board. Iiger says he's going to be involved in the search for a new 39 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.400 CEO to make sure things go more smoothly. Next time. At six ZHO 40 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:14.240 five, it's handle on the news. Henry Kissinger, of course, has 41 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.319 died. Bill's also going to be talking about that because Kissinger is both being 42 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.919 honored and reviled. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of 43 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:27.840 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Another bus carrying migrants from Texas has arrived 44 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.159 in downtown LA It was the twenty ninth bus to arrive since June. The 45 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:36.919 passengers yesterday included twenty seven people from Mexico, ten from Venezuela, and some 46 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:42.039 from Columbia, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Prime Healthcare workers are set 47 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:47.199 to protest outside their headquarters in Ontario over severe understaffing. The frontline workers are 48 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.080 urging management to provide safe staffing levels and offer additional support. Last month, 49 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.319 about eighteen hundred employees went on a strike for a week. Executives and care 50 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.479 workers are negotiating, but a second strike is planned and over the holidays if 51 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:05.680 no progress is made. BA City Fire Department says it has inspected fifty sites 52 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:10.879 that freeway underpasses, and Eric Scott says La Mayor Bass ordered the inspections because 53 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.520 of the recent fire under the ten freeway in downtown La and we will assess 54 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.959 sites to determine if they generate hazardous waste and per protocol, refer them to 55 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.480 the La County Fire Department for follow up. Scott says. Of the fifty 56 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.879 sites they looked at, twenty three were referred to the state Fire Marshal for 57 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.560 follow up. Scott says they're not responsible for state owned property under the freeway. 58 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.199 But they felt obligated to take a look for any obvious violations. Steve 59 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:39.279 Gregory kafin News, Israel and Hamas have agreed to one more day of the 60 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:44.600 temporary truce. The agreement came just minutes before the ceasefire was set to expire. 61 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.040 The truce, which started last week as a four day cease fire, 62 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.240 is now going into its seventh day. Guitar says it was extended under the 63 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:57.600 same terms where Hamas will release ten Israeli hostages a day in exchange four thirty 64 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:03.079 Palestinian prisoners. Sixteen were released yesterday. Let's now say good morning to ABC's 65 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.279 Jim Ryan. Jim, could this be a merrier Christmas than normal for workers? 66 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.000 Yes, well, it depends upon the profession, depends upon the company. 67 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.279 But overall, Alix is though more companies amy are offering bonuses. You're 68 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.560 in, yeah, company bonuses to their employees. That depends again, though 69 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.600 not talking generally about blue collar jobs. We're talking about white collar workers who 70 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:30.199 work in specific industries. But ninety six percent of professional services company do plan 71 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.519 to give out year end bonuses. According to Robert half An Associates the Staffing 72 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.560 company nationwide. That's up from seventy seven percent twenty twenty one and only fifty 73 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.720 seven percent last year, So it actually appears to be gaining some steam the 74 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:49.279 farther we get away from the pandemic. Ninety six percent, that's a lot. 75 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:55.480 Yeah, And I remember years and years ago kind of every company used 76 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:59.920 to give some sort of Christmas bonus, whether it was cash or a turk 77 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.240 or something like that, and they largely just went away, you did, 78 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:09.040 You're right. I think that as corporate America kind of pulled in its rains 79 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.319 just a bit, then those were some of the things. The first things 80 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.120 that went, whether it was just sort of like in Christmas vacation, the 81 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.360 subscription to the Jam of the Month club or whatever it was that Clark Griswold 82 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.600 got got about that, yeah, or actual checks. You're right. It 83 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.639 seems to have tapered off somewhat. But I think during the pandemic companies realized 84 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.959 that they were bleeding employees. They just couldn't hold on to the ones that 85 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:36.000 they had, they couldn't attract new ones. A few months ago, you'll 86 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:41.040 remember we had twice as many open positions as we did people willing and able 87 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:45.079 to work those jobs, and so companies were offering up all kinds of incentives, 88 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:50.680 including year end bonuses or mid year bonuses. So we maybe headed back 89 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:56.879 in that direction, at least in terms of Corporate America parts of corporate America. 90 00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.959 So they're seeing that they kind of have to suck up to the worker 91 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.160 a little bit more because the workers are they're not putting up with stuff, 92 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.879 they're just walking still. Sure, yeah, and it's been absolutely a job 93 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.079 hunter's market for the last year, maybe two years really that you know, 94 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.879 if you don't like the conditions where you're working, quit go work across the 95 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.959 street at another company. And that is starting to slim down somewhat. The 96 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:27.279 job market is cooling off substantially partly thanks to the interest rate hikes by the 97 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.279 Federal Reserve. That's their big lever on the economy, and it appears to 98 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:35.160 be working. The gap between jobs available and jobs and people willing to work 99 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.800 them is getting narrower, and so with that we might this may be the 100 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:45.720 last year of really big bonuses or widespread bonuses. And do we know who's 101 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.839 most likely to see the bonuses the bigger small companies. I know you said 102 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.519 it's not generally the blue collar things. But like which company, Like, 103 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.839 if it's a small company, more likely to do a bonus than a larger 104 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.040 company. Well, no, generally it's going to be the bigger ones. 105 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.079 Essentially, if you look at the job category, it's education and government. 106 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.279 About ten percent of those workers can expect some kind of bonus. But if 107 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.439 you move into things like pharmaceuticals, you know, drug agency, drug company 108 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.439 reps make a lot of money in general, and they collect bonuses. At 109 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.879 the end, twenty one point four percent of the pharmaceutical companies plan to offer 110 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.279 bonuses to their employees. Software and networking about eighteen percent of those workers. 111 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.959 Do I see radio on the list? No, unless they were kid the 112 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.639 sales. No, no, no way. All right, Well, here's 113 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.720 hoping that as you're waking up with us this morning, that you are one 114 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.919 of the ninety six percent who will get some sort of a bonus and take 115 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.600 it for what it is. It's a nice gesture. Whether it's a turkey 116 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.759 or cash or a gem of the month. Oh, you're onto something there, 117 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:50.519 whether it's a big fat check several thousand dollars some percentage of your salary, 118 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.720 or if it's you know, the fleece sweater with the company logo on 119 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.799 it. It's still a jesture. It says, yeah, we appreciate your 120 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.919 work. Yes, all right, well, Jim, I appreciate your work 121 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:05.639 every day. Always a pleasure to talk to you. Thanks so much for 122 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.480 the information. Good curing me. All right, let's get back to some 123 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.480 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A woman 124 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.799 with a knife has been shot by police in Koreatown. Police had been called 125 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.679 out late last night about an assault with a deadly weapon. Officers say they 126 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.879 were confronted by the woman and that's when the shooting happened. They say she 127 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.159 is expected to survive. The Lakenty Sheriff's Department is investigating the death of a 128 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.879 man whose body was found at a laundr park in Lawndale. Deputies were called 129 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.039 to the park on reports of a man down. The man's body was found 130 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.039 lying on the west side of the park with trauma to his head. The 131 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.679 man was pronounced dead at the scene Tuesday morning, just after six point thirty. 132 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.799 The medical examiner says the man's cause of death was blunt force. Trauma 133 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.519 Detectives said yesterday the investigation is ongoing and no additional information has been released in 134 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:56.159 Lawndale Chris Adler KFI News. The City of Long Beach is slowing working or 135 00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:01.039 slowly working, to bring systems back online after the systems were taken down because 136 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.000 of a cyber attack. The city confirms its data was stolen, which president 137 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.919 of the Information System Security Association of LA, Richard Greenberg says does not inspire 138 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:15.440 a lot of confidence in government. Nobody wants to be running a government where 139 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.440 the constituents data is in their care and then all of a sudden it's released 140 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.279 to the public or to the world. It's embarrassing. It shows a failure 141 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.559 of due diligence. The city's online systems were offline for more than two weeks 142 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.519 because of the attack. The type of data that was taken isn't clear, 143 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.480 but city officials say it did not appear to be a ransomware attack. Police 144 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.759 in Newport Beach are investigating claims that an Oklahoma City thunder player was seen in 145 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.960 photos with an underage girl. An anonymous user claimed in a now deleted post 146 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.759 that twenty one year old Oklahoma City point guard Josh Giddy is in photos with 147 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.840 a junior from high school. Reporters repeatedly asked Giddy about the allegation before Tuesday's 148 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.840 game, but he declined to comment. Giddy got booed every time he touched 149 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.440 the ball. The player is from Australia but can be seen training in Irvine. 150 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.320 Newport Beach police say they're seeking additional info, but media reports claim the 151 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:07.080 girl and her family are not cooperating with police in Orange County. Corbin Carson 152 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.399 kf I news, lawmakers in LA have unanimously approved a plan to have an 153 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:18.039 independent redistricting commission redraw the boundaries of council districts every ten years. The proposal 154 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.799 is expected to appear on the November ballot next year, so you get to 155 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.639 the side on that. Hey, the decision has probably been made, but 156 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.840 we don't know yet who it is. But the Tournament of Roses is going 157 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:37.279 to be announcing it's Rose Parade Grand Marshal tomorrow, so apparently it's been very 158 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.720 suspenseful. Who will it be? And in years past cultural giants have been 159 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.759 the Grand Marshal. Walt Disney my favorite of course, John Wayne has been 160 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.000 with a Grand Marshal. That was in nineteen seventy four. Carol Burnett love 161 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.480 her Shirley Temple, Mickey Mouse, Peley, Kermit, the Frog. They've 162 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.200 all been Grand Marshals. So what we do know this year is the theme 163 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.080 is celebrating a world of music, the Universal Language, and the Tournament of 164 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.000 Roses is thrown out a little hint and saying that this year's Grand Marshall is 165 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:13.240 one award away from getting the egot. That's the egot means you've won the 166 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.559 Emmy, the Grammy, the Oscar, and the Tony. So whoever it 167 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.639 is has won three of the four and so the OCI Register did a little 168 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.159 prognosticating that's my big word for the day. And they don't know who it's 169 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.519 gonna be, but here are a few people who could fall into that category 170 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.279 or do fall into the category. So we'll have to wait and see till 171 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:37.480 tomorrow. But could it be Cindy Lauper, she just wants to have fun, 172 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:45.480 Quincy Jones, fabulous, Bet Midler. It could be Cynthia Arivo. 173 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.919 That's not as well known of a name, but she played Alphaba in the 174 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.279 Wicked movie that's coming out next year, which I personally can't wait for. 175 00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:01.600 So that's gonna be cool. Lin Manuel, Miranda Share Sir Elton, John, 176 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.559 Liza Minelli, Barbara Streissan or even Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. 177 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.000 We don't know, but we'll know tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. 178 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.080 I love the Rosebery. Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend their ceasefire by 179 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.080 another day. The agreement made just minutes before it was said to expire. 180 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.879 Officials say getting more people out could become even more difficult because most women and 181 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:31.000 children held by Hamas have already been released in swaps for Palestinian prisoners. Governor 182 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.759 Newsom and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are facing off tonight in the Great Red Versus 183 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.919 Blue State Debate. The two hour debates expected to hit hot topics like immigration, 184 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:45.279 abortion, the economy, COVID, even Disney. You can listen to 185 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.799 the debate right here on KFI at six pm. It'll start during the Tim 186 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.519 Conway Junior Show. The Tesla cyber truck officially hits the market today with a 187 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:58.840 private event. The first one will be rolled off the line from Tesla's manufacturing 188 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.000 plant in Austin, Texas. They're expected to cost about fifty thousand dollars. 189 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.240 CEO Elon Musk says more than a million people have already pre ordered the cyber 190 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.679 truck. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. Speaking of 191 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.279 Elon Musk, he has apologized for a tweet or an X, but he 192 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.240 also told advertisers to go f themselves. So we'll tell you about that. 193 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:26.399 Let's take a Southern California sleigh ride, shall we? So each week leading 194 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.120 up to Christmas, we're going to take you out and about to share with 195 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.879 you some of the really fun things you can go to do and see around 196 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.320 southern California. Our first stop the La Arboretum for LightScape twenty twenty three. 197 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.639 We took a sometimes wild ride around the venue with the new CEO, Michael 198 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.559 Displanes. Michael, what are people going to see when they take a tour 199 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:58.039 around LightScape twenty twenty three. You're seeing the work of many different artists, 200 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.120 many different talents. You're seeing seventeen miles of power cables, twelve miles of 201 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.200 data cords. Can you imagine? I can't even miles of extension cords? 202 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.399 Okay, so we I want to say that we just came through snowflakes and 203 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:20.399 here's probably the most recognizable thing at lights Scaping the Winter Cathedral stunning, right, 204 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:28.000 hundreds of strings of holiday lights that are all in the shape of flowers, 205 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.600 and the whole cathedral steps down. So you think it's an optical illusion, 206 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.559 but it's not. It actually does get smaller and smaller. See it. 207 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.960 Ohs. It creates the sense of like intimacy and wonder it, you 208 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.039 know, just like a great cathedral would. Okay, you know, in 209 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.360 a great cathedral you feel amazed, yeah, but you also feel small and 210 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.159 wonderful at the same time. I left. How many installations are out here, 211 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.960 thirteen major ones, but lots of different lights along the way that highlight 212 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.200 the incredible botanical collection this year. This is we were talking about France. 213 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.320 This is Bouquet Dbaujoules by the art group Tilt and these are from France. 214 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:11.039 So these are just giant essentially floor lights right like a living room lamp. 215 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.919 I think they look a little bit like square marshmallows. Oh I love that. 216 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:18.320 So cool. The platforms you can stand on for you know, Instagram 217 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.120 photos or selfies, and then you can sit on them and then very smartly 218 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.240 it's near our first bathroom break Oh good, there's lots of those. You 219 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.840 can hang out yeah, exactly. Okay, and as you're walking around now 220 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.399 we're cheating a little bit. We're taking a golf cart. When you come 221 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.840 out here, it's a sled. Oh yeah, it's a sled. I 222 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.480 like the way you're thinking. When you come out here, you will be 223 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:40.799 walking. The trail is about a mile about a mile, easy walk, 224 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:44.879 all on paved paths. Events rain or shine, but you know it never 225 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.879 rains in southern California. Well exactly, this is rainbow trees, by the 226 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.200 way, Rainbow trees and then our own trees and are an amazing botanical garden 227 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.200 collection. How much time does it take to put this thing together? So 228 00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.039 they literally start designing this year's show at the end of Lasteer show, and 229 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.000 then this summer I came on board in July. We were already zooming with 230 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:10.079 Sony in London that actually puts this on about the elements and what new would 231 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:11.839 come on and where they would go in the garden with the path would look 232 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:17.000 like you know, we're we're almost one hundred and thirty acres with miles and 233 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:18.319 miles and miles of trail, so we could put a lot of this anywhere. 234 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.279 This is super cool, Okay, so it's gonna get loud and it's 235 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.400 a little bit more modern. Love it. What's it called? Oh you 236 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:29.759 had to ask, I just passed the sign. Okay. It looks like 237 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.200 a bunch of vertical light sticks and they're changing colors to the music. Correct. 238 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:40.480 It's so fun. The friends would say, it's super cool, super 239 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:45.240 cool, super cool. There are so many things to see, and there's 240 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.680 a couple you're along the main path and then there's some offshoots onto side paths 241 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.279 that we're not going to show you because we really want you to come out 242 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.400 and see this for yourself. It's such a cool way to spend an evening 243 00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:57.440 and get, you know, in the spirit of the eye. And then 244 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.920 look at this. I mean, look at these allergies trees. These are 245 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.480 stunning, stunning plant all lit to see. So you know, it's also 246 00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:08.400 part of what LightScape is, which is highlighting the incredible plant collection that's here 247 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:12.039 at the La County Iarboretum. Okay, and Lightskate wouldn't be complete for the 248 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.839 holidays without Santa, without a doubt, So Santa gonna be here. Well, 249 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.640 he's not here every night. Okay. If you didn't remember, you 250 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.920 forgot he's super busy right now. Lots of toys to make, yep, 251 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.480 lots of lists to go over who's naughty and nice? But he has promised 252 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.640 a few visits to lights gape okay, and so how can people find out 253 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.240 when you will be here? Arboretom dot org. Say, that's easy, 254 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.960 Arboretum dot org. And just that quickly we're onto our next display. Now 255 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:44.799 we're coming up to the Arch of Light. This one's pretty cool. So 256 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:51.119 Scott Gianelli is the artist, and it's synced to music, so it the 257 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:55.680 lights will actually go with the tunes and you feel like you're a rockstar in 258 00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:00.079 your own concert. I love this and I love at the music. It's 259 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.559 just like really high quality music part of the show. And again working with 260 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:08.319 a partner like Sony, it's an immersive experience. It's not just walking through 261 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:12.880 and looking at holiday lights on trees. It's it's completely interactive. There's even 262 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:19.000 a section of our drivers taking up for a second, we're going to jump 263 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.640 out. We're going to jump out and walk there to the way. You 264 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:27.400 know what, We have told you so much about this wonderful experience, but 265 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.000 we really want you to come out and see it from yourself. We've got 266 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.640 to do is we have to walk through the four eight hundred bulbs that are 267 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:41.319 hanging. That you walk through, you literally like swim through them. Oh, 268 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:48.200 this is not your regular light show. It's LightScape twenty three, completely 269 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.000 imagined. It's going on now through Christmas. You can go to Arboretum dot 270 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.599 org to find out all about when you can come out, where you can 271 00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.079 get tickets. Don't miss this this holiday season. Thank you so much, 272 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:03.599 Michaelcery. I tell you the flight displaze displays were really fantastic, and I 273 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.359 also told you it was a bit of a wild ride. We lost control 274 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.000 of our driver. But and again a reminder that when you go, you 275 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:12.920 will be walking through it. We wanted to try to get as much of 276 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.599 the experience in to share with you, so we cheated a little bit and 277 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:19.720 took a golf card. But you will be walking and it's really really great 278 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:25.680 open select nights through Christmas the La Arboretum. It's LightScape twenty twenty three. 279 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:27.440 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 280 00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.599 our newsroom. A stretch of Laguna Beach has been closed because of a ninety 281 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:36.799 five thousand gallon oil sewage spill. The Orange County Healthcare Agencies Environmental Division says 282 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:41.359 the spill yesterday happened when a main sewer line broke. Officials say the area 283 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.559 will remain closed to oceanwater contact sports until the results of follow up water quality 284 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:51.519 monitoring meet acceptable standards. A man who went on a month long crime spree 285 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:53.880 across La County has been hit with a ten year prison sentence. Themir Green 286 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.400 robbed at least eight gas stations and stole a car using a bb gun. 287 00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:03.519 US Attorney spokesman here in McAvoy says Green led police on a dangerous chase earlier 288 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.759 this year, during which he drove over ninety miles an hour, almost crashed 289 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.319 into a bystander motor as, drove against oncoming traffic, then crashed into a 290 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:18.160 curb. While Green was sentenced for eight robberies yesterday, prosecutors argued he committed 291 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.920 about forty robberies. Green has been in custody since April. Blake Trolley kaf 292 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.400 I News.

He was also 309 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.759 awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Medal of Liberty. He died at 310 00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:40.119 home in Connecticut yesterday. He was one hundred. We're going to be talking 311 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:44.920 more about Kissinger's life and legacy with ABC Stephen Portnoy At five point fifty. 312 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.279 Disney CEO Bob Iger says he will definitely step down when his contract expires in 313 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.200 twenty twenty six. He took over for Disney last year for the second time 314 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.599 after Bob Jacob Chaipuk was removed from the board. Iigers says he's going to 315 00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.160 be involved in the search for a new CEO to make sure things run a 316 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.039 little smoother this time. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. 317 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.480 Govinor Newsom has apparently had enough of the horse tranquilizer that's killing people on 318 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.839 the streets. What he's going to do about that? Right now, let's 319 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:15.039 say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller from Jerusalem. Good morning, George, 320 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:22.680 Dana. Sixteen more hostages were released, including a US citizen. Good news, 321 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:27.880 Good news, and those were four foreign tie workers, but the bulk 322 00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:33.960 of them twelve Israelis. Two that were released in a parallel deal with the 323 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:41.039 Kremlin who were Russian Israelis, and ten others, including one American, And 324 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.920 we're planning and hoping that tonight we will see more hostages turned over as Israel 325 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:52.920 and Hamas extend this ceasefire by another day. There are another ten names on 326 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:59.359 a list. We know that two of them are again Russian Israelis. The 327 00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:07.200 other eight we're not sure. We do believe though, that two Israeli Bedouins, 328 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:12.319 their minority here in Israel, two teenagers will be released tonight. Their 329 00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:18.799 families notified a short while ago that they are on the list. Talks are 330 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:23.079 underway to extend the ceasefire again. Sexuary of Save Anthony Blincoln is here. 331 00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:29.000 It is one of the topics he is discussing with Israeli leaders. Patter and 332 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:34.559 the United States, of course, have led these talks, facilitated the discussions 333 00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:41.200 and helped broker the ceasefires. It could be we will see another extension of 334 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.119 two more days, possibly three days. After that, it will get a 335 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:52.039 lot more difficult because the people that are being held by Hamas are at that 336 00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:57.480 point would be just Israeli soldiers and men and women in their twenties and thirties, 337 00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:04.559 and it is that Hamas will demand Israel to release men who are in 338 00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:11.400 jailed here in Israel for various crimes that could include even murder, and then 339 00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.480 Israel will have to make some decisions about whether you know, they will do 340 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.160 that or if they will just begin the second phase of the war. Okay, 341 00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:25.559 And it seems like they're holding onto the Americans. Only two or three 342 00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:29.599 have been released, right, Yeah, only two really have been released. 343 00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:34.799 There are a few others believe that some of the soldiers are dual American Israeli 344 00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:41.279 so that may be part of the reason they're not even eligible to get out 345 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:47.519 in the way that this deal is now formulated, it's only women, children, 346 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:53.480 mothers with their children, so you know, but you know, any 347 00:25:53.599 --> 00:26:00.519 Americans that Hamas has are of course among the most valued you know, quote 348 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:06.839 cards they hold in these talks and negotiations. Okay, Now, we had 349 00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:11.000 just we had heard too that the agreement to extend the ceasefire for another day 350 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:15.240 came like minutes before it was supposed to end, like at seven am local 351 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:19.240 time in Israel, that's right, And it was because of the list of 352 00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:23.640 who Hamas was planning to release. Do you have that information too, right? 353 00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:30.559 Right? So initially Hamas p then to the list of five living Israelis 354 00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:37.319 and three bodies, and Israel said, you know, this violates the agreement 355 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.880 completely. First of all, it's not a ten person minimum, and this 356 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.359 deal does not include you don't get a ceasfire for giving us bodies. So 357 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:49.319 you know, in the middle of the night, we understand that cutter and 358 00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:55.480 both the United States stepped in and put pressure on Hamas to change the list. 359 00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:57.960 And we've seen this happen night after night. There was a list with 360 00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.440 you knows children and not the mothers on one day and Hamas said, we 361 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.920 don't know where the mothers are. Well hours later, the mothers were released 362 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:14.839 with the children because accordingity agreement, you can't separate the families. So in 363 00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:18.680 this case, you know, just minutes before seven am, they got a 364 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:26.319 list that looked much more that would work. And even at that Hamas only 365 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.960 put eight names on the list. And because Russia has been negotiating parallel deals 366 00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:34.839 with Hamas, there are two more Russian Israelis coming out, so it fits 367 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:41.000 the ten minimum, the ten person minimum. It's unclear if Israel's going to 368 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.759 release based on this thirty Palestinian women and miners that are sitting in jail for 369 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:52.039 various crimes or is it going to be twenty four based on just the eight 370 00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:56.079 that Hamas put on the list, right, it's a three to one ratio. 371 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.880 Yeah, it just seems like it's this big, potential deadly game of 372 00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:07.200 chicken, and it's just I wish they'd figure it out and get this taken 373 00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:08.920 care of. But they are. They are making steps, so that's good. 374 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:12.720 So Jordana Miller, thank you so much for progress. Yeah, we 375 00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.400 like progress, all right, take care we do. Let's get back to 376 00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.039 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Police 377 00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:23.079 patrols have been increased in San Dimas in a neighborhood where a man was fatally 378 00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.759 shot inside his garage. Eli like Keunty Sheriff's deputy say the killer Tuesday was 379 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.720 possibly a follow home robber. Neighbors say the homeowner was shot while in his 380 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.279 tesla, and Ant says the man killed had a wife and two children. 381 00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:37.920 A driver wanted for a fatal hit and run and Silver Lake has turned himself 382 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.640 in. Police say the guy was driving on Sunset Boulevard near Edgecliff Avenue earlier 383 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.400 this month when he hit a man riding a scooter. That man died at 384 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.000 the hospital. The driver turned himself in in Monday and was released on one 385 00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:53.279 hundred thousand dollars bail. Irvine is looking for a temporary amphitheater to keep live 386 00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:56.920 music in the Great Park until twenty twenty seven, when a permanent venue is 387 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:02.279 finished. Irvine's Melissa Hale says the current proposal is a venue on the North 388 00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:06.319 Lawn with a stage that faces away from nearby homes to reduce noise. There 389 00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:10.920 is some concern about if we do put it in another field in the Great 390 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.079 Park, is that going to impact youth activities or programs and reservations that currently 391 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:21.000 take place in those fields. Hayley says the city also needs plans for parking, 392 00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:23.920 bleachers, sound equipment, traffic studies, and an operator to run the 393 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:30.880 venue. A different temporary venue closed last month because of a construction on other 394 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:36.559 attractions in the massive Great Park extent expansion. Okay, as you may have 395 00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:41.839 heard, the great Red versus Blue state debate is happening tonight. It's Governor 396 00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:48.920 Newsom versus Governor DeSantis of Florida. It's going to happen in Georgia, and 397 00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.519 you can hear the debate live on KFI. It starts at six pm, 398 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.680 so join Tim Conway Junior for that. But here's a way you can make 399 00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:02.079 a debate very fun. There is the great Red State versus Blue State debate. 400 00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:07.640 Bingo. I found my Bingo card on the La Times website, and 401 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.200 so obviously Bingo. So anytime they talk about the topic that's listed on the 402 00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:14.799 Bingo card, you get to market off. So what are they going to 403 00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:18.960 be talking about? According to this Bingo card, They'll be talking about Trump, 404 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:27.319 freedom, an abortion ban, Kamala Harris, the exodus from California January 405 00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:34.039 sixth, twenty twenty election results, smash and grab, robberies, taxes, 406 00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:41.640 Fentanel sending migrants to California. Disney love this one, defecating in the street 407 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:48.240 and the quote I'm actually a border state governor and then the center, which 408 00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:52.319 is the free Square is woke. I think this is going to make the 409 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.759 debate even more entertaining. Again, I found this one at La Times, 410 00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:00.440 and I think you can just google it and find Bingo car cards everywhere. 411 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.279 Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend their ceasefire for one more day. The 412 00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:12.200 agreement made came just minutes before it was set to expire at seven am local 413 00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:17.759 time. Officials say getting more people out could become tougher because most women and 414 00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:22.599 children held by hamas have already been released in swaps for Palestinian prisoners. Governor 415 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.599 Newsom and Florida Governor Ronda Santis are facing off tonight in the Great Red Versus 416 00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:30.880 Blue State Debate. The two hour debates expected to hit hot topics like immigration, 417 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.839 abortion, the economy, COVID, and Disney And if you just heard 418 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:40.440 it in our last segment, you can download your debate bingo card online. 419 00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:44.519 You can also listen to the debate right here on KFI starting at six pm 420 00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:48.440 during the Tim Conway Junior Show. Governor Newsom is going to help flip the 421 00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:52.400 switch to light the Capitol Christmas Tree on Tuesday. The sixty seven foot tall 422 00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:56.640 red fur has been in place in Sacramento all month. It's being decked out 423 00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:01.039 with ten thousand led lights and two hundred hands ornaments. It'll stay up until 424 00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:05.440 early January. We're just minutes away from handle. On the news this morning, 425 00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.960 Elon musk Is apologized for a tweet, but also told advertisers to go 426 00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:15.240 f themselves. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's nationals. Easy 427 00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:20.759 for me to say. Let me start over ABC's national correspondent, Stephen Portnoy, 428 00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:23.759 Good morning, Stephen. We just got the news yesterday that Henry Kissinger 429 00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:29.960 has died. He was pretty much a powerhouse in his day. Certainly was 430 00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.039 a sort of emblematic of American power in the second half of the twentieth century. 431 00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:39.039 Think of the words real politique, datante, shuttle, diplomacy. These 432 00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:43.599 are words that Henry Kissinger helped bring to the American consciousness as he served as 433 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:49.119 Secretary of State and National Security advisor to Richard Nixon and continuing on through Gerald 434 00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.279 Ford's presidency. And this is a period of time where the United States was 435 00:32:52.640 --> 00:33:00.200 winding down its engagement in Vietnam, when it was re engaging with China, 436 00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:07.359 and so Henry Kissinger was behind so much of that reshaping the world, sort 437 00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.319 of viewing the world as a giant chess board with the great world powers moving 438 00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:16.480 pieces on the board with strategy. The other side of that is that so 439 00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:22.480 many pieces on the chessboard were pawns. And while his legacy is a giant 440 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:24.480 of diplomacy is certainly a big part of it. So too is the idea 441 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:30.519 of him, you know, using American policy to step on the interest of 442 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:35.400 smaller countries no longer in vogue in world affairs, and some of the things 443 00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:37.640 that he was accused of is essentially being a war criminal, presiding over the 444 00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:44.519 American bombings of Cambodia and Laos, supporting military coups against the elected governments in 445 00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:47.960 Chile and Argentina because the fear was that those countries were getting too close to 446 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:53.200 Moscow. So it's a mixed legacy. This is a man who with his 447 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:59.480 family, escaped Nazism in Germany, came to this country, and you know, 448 00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:04.200 dove deeply into the national security establishment, and through the Kennedy and Johnson 449 00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:07.800 years and into the Nixon and Ford era, really became a master of American 450 00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:13.599 diplomacy, and in the years after for decades advised presidents of both parties. 451 00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:17.079 I saw him in the Oval Office with Donald Trump and never lost his intellect, 452 00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:21.599 dying at age one hundred. Just last month, he was on stage 453 00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:27.119 in New York talking about American Chinese relations, opining about Israel Hamas War, 454 00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:31.960 talking about US involvement in Ukraine warning about the risks of AI when it comes 455 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:36.960 to the control of the nuclear weapons stockpile in the world. So this was 456 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:42.079 a man who, to his final weeks of life was really deeply engaged in 457 00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:45.960 world affairs. Yeah, and you know, so it's like nice to see 458 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.719 that because you hear so many people who are in decline as they get older 459 00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:52.280 and stuff, and like, he just kept living his life to its fullest 460 00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:58.079 until the very end. So writing books at age ninety nine, Yeah, 461 00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:02.320 well makes me feel like I'm coming up just a little bit short. Okay, 462 00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:07.880 let's move on now to Representative George Santos. What's expected to happen to 463 00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:12.159 him today? Well, today is the debate in the House on the question 464 00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:15.880 of whether he should be expelled. The vote likely tomorrow. George Santo's last 465 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:17.840 hour this past hour gave a news conference in which he says he expects to 466 00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:22.679 be ousted by the required two thirds vote. He says he won't resign because 467 00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:25.360 if he leaves, they win. He says he's being bullied out, that 468 00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:30.000 the House is embarking on a dangerous step, getting ready to oust a member 469 00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:35.159 who merely stands accused of crimes and hasn't been convicted a trial. The accusations 470 00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:39.280 involve a twenty three count federal indictment, ranging from money laundering counts to identity 471 00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:45.199 theft. It's alleged that he stole his donor's credit cards. He's also the 472 00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:49.719 subject of a skating House Ethics Committee report, which alleges that at a time 473 00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:52.800 he was destitute, he claimed to have money he didn't have during his campaign, 474 00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:57.480 and used campaign cash to pay for such things as his rent, botox 475 00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:05.840 treatments, Only fans subscriptions everything weekend getaways, and his fellow New York Republicans 476 00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:08.039 have been at the vanguard of calls all year for him to be ousted. 477 00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:15.960 The question is whether Republicans will stand with the idea that it's not the right 478 00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:20.039 move to oust someone who merely stands accused but hasn't been convicted a trial. 479 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:22.599 The trial in New York Federal Court is pending, but it hasn't yet begun 480 00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.760 in earnest and we'll see what happens. But yesterday House Speaker Mike Johnson said 481 00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:30.880 he had some concerns and reservations about moving forward, and yet he would allow 482 00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:34.880 members on the Republicans side to vote their conscience, which is to say, 483 00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:39.159 no repercussions if you vote to oust a fellow Republican, and the political implications 484 00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:44.079 are pretty big because they have such a slim majority. This would knock that 485 00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:47.239 majority down even a little bit more. The current majority for Republicans, the 486 00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:52.000 margin is four votes, and if Santos is ousted, it goes down to 487 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:57.239 three. And the likelihood is that a Democrat would probably be elected to that 488 00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:00.239 seat in a special election which would be held in the coming months. Because 489 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.119 this New York and is so heavily democratic. Well, I mean, look, 490 00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:06.360 it was a swing district in the first place, and the idea that 491 00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:09.760 you know, but look, it is what it is. But the question 492 00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:15.280 for Republicans today is whether they want to continue to associate themselves with George Santos 493 00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:20.760 because the risk for those fellow New York Republicans is they might be more vulnerable 494 00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:25.440 in their own districts because they could be tied to him by Democratic opponents. 495 00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:31.679 And still Portnoy, Portnoy, you are Portner, and still Santos is defiant. 496 00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:35.480 He's like, I'm not quitting, which is so different from how politics 497 00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:37.559 used to be, like when they had these huge scandals they'd step down. 498 00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:44.199 Shame is very much missing from our national culture and certainly our national politics. 499 00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:49.760 And George Santos is not a shame he, in fact is he presided today 500 00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:53.320 for about a half hour nearly in this news conference out outside the capitol, 501 00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:57.760 conducting an orchestra of reporters, and he said he'd be inviting more to his 502 00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.840 office later today to do for there. So he's not leaving the States. 503 00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:05.039 He's using this moment of the spotlight to the extreme. All right, we'll 504 00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:07.320 have to wait and see what happens. Thank you so much. As Stephen 505 00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.280 Portnoy, I don't know what I'm doing with your name today, but I'm 506 00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:14.199 just studying you and me I've done it too. All right, thank you 507 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:15.800 so much. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 508 00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:20.480 KFI twenty four our newsroom. The La County Human Relations Commission says nine hundred 509 00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:22.960 and twenty nine hate crimes were reported last year. That's an increase of eighteen 510 00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:27.000 percent from the year before. The report shows Blacks were not only the number 511 00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:30.480 one target of hate crimes overall, but the number of crimes against that demographic 512 00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:34.360 overshadows the proportion of population of Blacks in the county and Natal Latino. Latina 513 00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:37.960 hate crimes also had the highest rate of violence ninety three percent of any of 514 00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:43.159 the visual ethnic ruts. The Commission's Robin Thomas says there were forty religion based 515 00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:45.360 crimes last year, and the largest number of hate crimes happened in the metro 516 00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:50.719 region, including West Hollywood Boil Heights in the San Fernando Valley. Steve Gregory 517 00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:52.599 King if I knew, and the LA City Council's approved a law that would 518 00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:58.440 require airbnb hosts to get a police permit. The permits are intended to address 519 00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:01.880 issues with party houses and proper parties that tend to attract rowdy behavior. Council 520 00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:06.960 President Paul Grecoryan proposed the motion, but says the city will be taking some 521 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.880 time to consider alternative that we pay close attention to make sure that this is 522 00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:15.199 a process that doesn't overburden the LAPD, that doesn't overburden our small businesses, 523 00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:21.239 that make sure that our short tom rentals are taking care of the LAPD set 524 00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:24.880 at the meeting Tuesday, the permits will require fingerprinting and criminal background checks. 525 00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:30.079 Permit violations could cause permits to be revoked.
