WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:07.919 You're listening to a wake up call on demand from KFI AM six forty KFI 2 00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:14.439 and KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time for your 3 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:28.440 morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. This is your wake up call 4 00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.960 for Thursday, November ninth. Good morning, I'm Amy King. Thanks for 5 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.200 getting up with us today. It's five o'clock. Straight up. I'm to 6 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.200 get up, get going. I got my coffee, got my oh meal 7 00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:44.520 ready to go. Did you watch the debate last night? I think I 8 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.520 told you a few weeks ago. I am a junkie for these things. 9 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.640 I love watching the debates. I don't know what it is that entices me, 10 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.399 but I well, one, I want to know what they think and 11 00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:00.840 what they what the candidates would do. But it's also I don't know, 12 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.560 I guess it's must see TV for me, interesting to watch. I think 13 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:11.000 Nicki Haley did great. I was really impressed with her. Vivek Ramaswami he's 14 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.840 an interesting character. I think that he had some good points during the debate 15 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.480 and you go, yeah, I could get on board with that, and 16 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:19.920 then he just kind of goes off the rails and you're like, what are 17 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:26.439 you talking about? Tim Scott like him a lot, but don't think it's 18 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.920 his time. I don't think he's catching the momentum that he needs. And 19 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.200 Chris Christy, I'm sort of surprised he didn't really add much. I like 20 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.560 a lot of the things he has to say, don't like some of the 21 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:38.719 things he has to say, but I just didn't feel like he made much 22 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.319 into it an impact. And Ronda Santis I think did well, but I 23 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.280 think Nicki Haley was the winner of last night's debate if I had to do 24 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.000 that. Of course, that's if Trump wasn't running and wasn't killing it in 25 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:52.079 the polls, then it would have been a great debate. And the moderators, 26 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.680 gotta hand, gotta say hats off to them, mostly kept the candidates 27 00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.799 in check. Lesterhold he scolded them at one point, and I that went, 28 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.560 oh God, because it sounded so condescending. He goes, let's not 29 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.239 do that or something like that. I thought it was ridiculous. But for 30 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:08.560 the most part, I think that the moderators did a really good job, 31 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.960 better than the other two debates. So much going on today, So glad 32 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:15.360 that you're here. We're going to tell you all about it. We've got 33 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.840 lots of fun stuff coming up and some not so fun stuff of course, 34 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.919 because well that's what today is in this world. But here's what's ahead. 35 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.280 On wake Up Call, it is finally over SAG after it has called off 36 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.800 it's one hundred and eighteen day strike after announcing an agreement with the Hollywood Studios 37 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.960 last night. The new deal includes protections for actors against AI and a pay 38 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.719 increase. Actors can now go back to work, but still need to vote 39 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:44.199 to ratify the contract. We're gonna be talking with ABC's Jason Nathanson more about 40 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.680 the deal in just a couple of minutes, so don't go away. Israeli 41 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:53.479 strikes have pounded Gaza City into this morning, as ground forces battled Hamas militants 42 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:59.120 in dense urban neighborhoods from which tens of thousands have fled in the last few 43 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.919 days. Egyptian officials say mediators are closing in on a possible deal for a 44 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.879 three day ceasefire in exchange for the release of about a dozen hostages held by 45 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:13.080 Hamas. Disney Plus has seen a big bump in subscribers. The company says 46 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.479 the streaming service now has more than one hundred and fifty million subscribers. That 47 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:21.479 is up from one hundred and forty eight million the previous quarter. At the 48 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.599 same time, the service still lost three hundred eighty seven million dollars. At 49 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.000 six o five, it's handle on the news. We're going to take a 50 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.159 closer look at the debate, who won, who lost, and who cares. 51 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.400 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 52 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.120 four hour newsroom. Sag after, as I mentioned, has approved a tentative 53 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.800 contract deal with the Hollywood Studios, ending the nearly four month long strike. 54 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.680 The deal reached yesterday needs to be ratified. It would boost minimum pay for 55 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.960 members, increase residual payments for shows streamed online, and also raise contributions to 56 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.120 the union's health and pension plans. It also sets up new rules for the 57 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:58.639 use of AI. The tentative contract heads to the union's National Board for approval 58 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.319 tomorrow. Let us in has worn customers in the Lost Florist Canyon area of 59 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.879 Malibu about a public safety power outage. Santa Ana winds continue to blow. 60 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.439 Power has been shut off to prevent Wildfire's people were also told this morning to 61 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.839 be prepared for possible evacuations as firefighters worked to stop a five acre fire in 62 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.040 nearby Topango. It destroyed a two story home. A water main break and 63 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:25.279 boil heights has messed up traffic on the one oh one Freeway. All southbound 64 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.000 lanes have been closed at the East fourth Street off Rint because of the flooding. 65 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.920 Nick Pouliochini's going to check in and give us the latest on that in 66 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.319 just a couple of minutes. An investigator with the La County Medical Examiner's Office 67 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:41.000 has been charged with stealing from dead people. The DA's office announced the charges 68 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.079 yesterday, saying the man stole a gold cross necklace and some rare coins. 69 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.439 It says the man has been involved in several cases since he started working in 70 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:55.120 twenty eighteen, so it's possible there could be other stolen items. Winter ski 71 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.720 season is back in Lake Tahoe. A storm Tuesday dumped about four inches of 72 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.480 snow. The Sierra Nevada's Mount Rose Ski says the resort's gonna reopen tomorrow for 73 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.480 the twenty three to twenty four season. It says it's also been blowing its 74 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.879 own snow on top of the fresh powder. Now Tahoe's not the only place 75 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.879 where there's snow. We're gonna be talking with the director of ops at Big 76 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.519 Bear Snow Snowplay about what's going on there, and I think you're gonna like 77 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:25.600 it. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jason Nathanson. Jason, just 78 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.399 like the TV game show SAG after in the Hollywood studios have played, let's 79 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.680 make a deal. Yes they have, and the strike is well not over. 80 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:38.040 The actors can go back to work as of this morning. Production can 81 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.079 start up, so all the writers who have been writing for the past more 82 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.839 than a month now and getting those shows in shape for this for when the 83 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.399 actors came back, they can start filming and they probably will, you know, 84 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:53.079 I don't know about exactly today, if you know, all the cameras 85 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.160 will start rolling, but pretty soon. One of the things they have to 86 00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.759 get in is the the last half of the broadcast season. So shows that 87 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.920 would normally come back in January for the second half of their season, we'll 88 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.040 come back for the first half of their season on the broadcast networks. They're 89 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:11.079 going to have to learn their lines fast they are, and it's gonna be 90 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.759 tough, I think for a lot of those broadcast shows to come back at 91 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.879 least in January, because you know, yes, they're coming back now, 92 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.480 but we're also coming back right as the holidays start, and the holidays are 93 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.920 going to start. They're not going to just blow off all the holidays just 94 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.560 to get stuff in. Although I think a lot of shows are going to 95 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.600 work overtime, so we'll see stuff start to trickle back in. I think 96 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.040 on the TV side of things, maybe in January, maybe late January, 97 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.759 but probably by February. And then a lot of those movies that were filming 98 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.279 for next year, a lot of them moved as well, so they'll try 99 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.600 to get some of those back on the calendar, but a lot of those 100 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.720 will be moved to twenty twenty five. You know, it's been so interesting 101 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:54.319 about this for me, as just Johnny on the Spot, somebody who watches 102 00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:00.279 a lot of TV, is I haven't missed anything with the strike going on 103 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.680 because there's so much streaming that and I know that a lot of people have. 104 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.240 And I mean, I'm glad that the actors. I'm so glad that 105 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.399 they came up with a deal. I'm glad they're getting back to work, 106 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:11.879 and I'm glad that, you know, the whole industry is back, but 107 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.120 it's like they had so much stockpiled that I didn't feel like any big gaping 108 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.160 holes, right, And I think that's the difference between this strike and maybe 109 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.639 the two thousand and seven writers' strike, where you definitely felt the holes and 110 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.720 we were all watching a lot of reality TV because streaming gets pretty streaming, 111 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.879 yeah, yeah, and so now you just have even if you don't have 112 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.319 new stuff to watch, you still have, you know, ten seasons or 113 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.959 so of Friends and all these other things that maybe you didn't catch up on, 114 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.160 because if you look at it, really, I mean, we've had 115 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.279 a lack of those really big kind of prestige HBO shows right now, we've 116 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.120 had on the streaming services, the lack of some new content that would have 117 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:58.399 been out by now there hasn't been where I know definitely that we're feeling it 118 00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:03.199 right now in terms of new content. It is slowed, and it's not 119 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.600 too a trickle, but it is definitely slowed. But there is you know, 120 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.480 you're right, there's still new stuff coming out. There's a new Marvel's 121 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.120 movie out this weekend. I know we're going to see it today. There's 122 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.120 a new Disney movie coming out wish Oh that's next week or no, two 123 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.439 weeks from now. In a couple of weeks, there's the Hunger Games movie. 124 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.759 What we haven't seen is a lot of these stars promoting these movies over 125 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.480 the past few months, and we're going to start. That's going to be 126 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.920 the first thing that's going to ramp up. I know at the premiere last 127 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.720 night of Wish it wasn't you know, there wasn't time to get everybody in 128 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.080 and to get them on the red carpet and to but the mood there I 129 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.039 was there was you know, people were pretty happy to get things back to 130 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.360 normal. Well, I'm not even going to ask you about Wish yip because 131 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.320 it doesn't come out for a couple of weeks. Yeah, we'll hold on 132 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.840 that, but we'll get to that for sure. We'll have a full review 133 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.159 in a couple of weeks. Okay, So in the deal, I know 134 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.720 we don't have all of the details yet, but do we know what are 135 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.080 some things that they got and what are some things they didn't get. Yeah, 136 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.440 I'll give you some of the stuff that they got in terms of didn't 137 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.960 get me and not quite sure on that, but definitely we know a few 138 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.399 things that they were fighting for. In fact, let's hear from Duncan Crabtree 139 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.600 Ireland himself. He's the chief negotiator for sag Aftra and we talked to him 140 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.639 last night. The steal is valued at more than a billion dollars in gains 141 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.679 over the term of the contract, which is by far the most we've ever 142 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:24.200 achieved. Second of all, I would point out that it has AI protections 143 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.519 that I think position our members to be being able to rely on a safe 144 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.240 and respectful implementation of AI in this industry, not just over the term of 145 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:39.399 disagreement, but even beyond that, and better money, frankly being paid to 146 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.080 people who work in the streaming space, where the changes in the business model 147 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:48.559 have just read havoc on our members' livelihoods. And from what we understand, 148 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.080 those last two the AI and the streaming stuff, those were the major sticking 149 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.360 points. That's what they've been working on over the past few days. When 150 00:09:54.799 --> 00:10:00.720 the AMPTP gave their best, last and final offer last Saturday, and then 151 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.159 they went back and revised that best, last and final offer. It wasn't 152 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.600 the best, last and final, but how much did the best, last 153 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.600 and final change We don't we don't know yet. Yeah, we don't know 154 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.200 the specifics of that. We're gonna get the full it's going to go to 155 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.120 the members tomorrow. I believe there's going to be some big meetings so we'll 156 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.360 get the full look of exactly what that is. But you know, all 157 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:30.039 sides can agree that these raises are historic. I think the biggest raises ever 158 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.679 just in base minimum pay for the actors in the history of sag AFTRA. 159 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.039 And yeah, and you know, big stuff for a lot of that. 160 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.879 And you know, Duncan Craftory Ireland also said, look, we didn't get 161 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.320 everything in a negotiation. You're not going to get everything. But the reason 162 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.600 they held out for one hundred and eighteen days, the longest actors strike ever 163 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.360 is to get the stuff that they wanted. And they feel they got that. 164 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.720 Yeah, and you know what, the base pay thing, I think 165 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.919 is a big thing because like there's the all the actors that are working, 166 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:03.440 they're making the the union minimum. I'm not worried about Amy Adams and George 167 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.480 Clooney and those guys. They're fine, right, And as he said, 168 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.120 you know the majority of their members don't make the twenty six thousand dollars a 169 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.240 year to qualify for healthcare. Yeah, that's the majority, So you know, 170 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.159 if that's the baseline, and they've said that all along, and that's 171 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.639 one of the reasons you haven't seen a lot of the big names out there. 172 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.879 And there's been some there's been some grumbling on the strike lines about not 173 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.840 seeing the big names out there, but the thought has been always that if 174 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.480 those big names were on the strike lines, it would become about them. 175 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.720 Yep. And this was never about them. This was not about fighting for 176 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.519 more money for George Clooney. This was fighting for more money for the you 177 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.840 know, the kid from Iowa who was moving here to start you know, 178 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:50.279 his life as an actor, or the journeymen and journey women actors who are 179 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.559 out there as well, who have been doing this their whole lives. Some 180 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.120 years don't qualify for healthcare. Some years they're driving uber to make ends meet. 181 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.240 Hopefully this will help with a lot of those people. Well, it's 182 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.399 done. They just have they have to vote on it. But they have 183 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:07.720 been told they can go back to work, so let's do it correct, 184 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.840 all right, They can go back to our Jason Nathanson, thanks so much 185 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.519 for your insighted information. Appreciate it. Sure, thank take it. Let's 186 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.759 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 187 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.480 newsroom. A man from Tarzana is behind bars after a woman's remains were found 188 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:26.159 in a dumpster in Encino. LAPD Detective Efrind Gutierrez says the woman's torso was 189 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.840 found yesterday morning. When the officers responded, they discovered a dismembered female wrapped 190 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.159 in a plastic bag that was just outside the dumpster. They confirmed that it 191 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:39.399 was a human remains. Police have not yet identified who the woman was, 192 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.440 so our part's missing. However, we don't know who she is at this 193 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:48.000 point based on some of the missing the parts, missing limbs. The thirty 194 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:54.120 five year old's children are okay. Police say they searched the man's home and 195 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.960 discovered evidence of a crime, including blood. People have been raising money to 196 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.440 help a small restaurant and silmar A severely damaged by burglars. Go fund me 197 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.919 page for Buffalo Bruce's Mercantile has raised thousands of dollars. Thieves broke into the 198 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.639 small restaurant over the weekend. Owner Vivian Hartman says the burglars took valuable items 199 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.039 and smashed up a restaurant with a baseball bat. It police took the broken 200 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.480 bat with him that was by the door with hand shears. Apartment says she 201 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.120 suspects the burglars are homeless people and we're likely in a restaurant for a couple 202 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.240 of days. Police are looking for the burglars and Silmar Blake trolley. Kay 203 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.840 if I News Israel's ramped up its offensive inside Gaza as humanitarian aid trickles in 204 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:41.200 ABC's Matt rivers is at the Nisana border crossing between Israel and Egypt. Women 205 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.000 may not be applying for the Federal Food and Nutrition Program because of the stigma 206 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:50.919 associated with governmental assistance. USDA spokesman Hasus Mendoza says Wick is now making it 207 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.440 more discreet for mothers when buying food. He used to be a boucher, 208 00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:00.000 paper cupum base and now he's on the Electronic Benefit Transfer EBT card. Any 209 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.120 one. About one point four million women and children in the create are eligible 210 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.279 for the program based on census data from twenty twenty. That is Chris, 211 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.519 and that is not the story that we were looking for. Israel says it's 212 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.519 looking for things like munitions, but also what they call dual use materials like 213 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:22.639 building supplies that Hamas could use to reinforce its tunnels. LAPD has broken up 214 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.080 several fist fights that broke out in front of the Museum of Tolerance last night 215 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.600 after its screen footage of the October seventh Hamas attack on Israel. The forty 216 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:37.200 three minute film Bearing Witness is apparently extremely graphic and violent and includes footage recorded 217 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:43.519 on bodycam by members of Hamas. Schools in the Tuestin School District are closed, 218 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.480 nine parks are closed, and the city's Veterans Day celebration on Saturday's been 219 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.559 canceled because of the fire at the hangar at Testin Air Base. Air quality 220 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:56.080 samples in the neighborhoods surrounding the hangar tested positive for asbestos and airborne toxics like 221 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.440 benzene. The Angels have hired Ron Washington to manage the team after letting manager 222 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.639 Phil Nevin go after one and a half seasons. The Angels haven't been to 223 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.879 the playoffs since twenty fourteen, Hoping we're Washington can get him there. Washington 224 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:15.000 comes from Atlanta. He also managed the Rangers for about seven years. The 225 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.320 seventy one year old is now the oldest manager in the majors at six oh 226 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.279 five at Tendel. On the News, the string of bad news for Biden 227 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.679 continues as even California turns against him. Right now, let's say good morning 228 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:33.120 to ABC's Crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett. Brad, we've seen protests erupt 229 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.639 all over the US, but the protests aren't the only thing the US needs 230 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:41.200 to worry about as the Israel Thamas war continues. No, there's the issue 231 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:48.279 of power grids, of which your state is obviously a rich place for folks 232 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.879 to attack. And one of the most recent indictments is a guy up in 233 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:58.919 the San Jose area of northern California that was charged with damaging with explosives to 234 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.559 substations in or around San Jose. So it's a huge problem. It's getting 235 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:10.080 bigger and amy. The problem is that the power grid, the way it's 236 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:14.679 structured, and I'm not suggesting it could be structured much differently, is that 237 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:19.519 it's a vulnerable. All these high voltage power lines that go across the rural 238 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:25.600 parts of California and other places. Power plants that are given they tend to 239 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:29.440 have a lot of security, but these substations, some of them are a 240 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.879 lot of them out in the middle of nowhere are just ripe targets for people 241 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:38.159 who want to damage them, to get attention, to shut down the power, 242 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.679 to anger people, to enrage people. They're driven by these two different 243 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:48.919 wars that are going on in Ukraine and Israel La La Moss, and so 244 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:56.159 they use excuses to go after the power grid. And so since the Israelimos 245 00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.840 war started, more threats are coming in. Oh, I don't know how 246 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:06.480 the FBI and the other agencies, but primarily the FBI are even keeping up 247 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.359 with a number of threats that are getting in particular in arrests in relationship to 248 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:18.119 Hamas in Israel. Ukraine still pops up this guy in San Jose apparently he 249 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:25.079 was motivated by what's going on in Ukraine with Russia. So yeah, I 250 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.319 mean the numbers are big, but you know, it's important to talk about 251 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.640 this power good because it's such a big deal. I mean, think about 252 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.480 if the power went out in Los Angeles for three days. Yeah, you 253 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.759 could use your phone, you couldn't turn the air conditioner on. Think of 254 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.799 all the people in the hospital that are on life support or whatever. It 255 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.559 might be. Now I simainly have backup generators, but the point being, 256 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:51.160 I mean you could literally shut down the country. And is it a big 257 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:56.480 concern that like several could be attacked at the same time. Well, there 258 00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:03.079 is I read one study that suggested that if you took out strategically nine of 259 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:08.640 the fifty five thousand substations around the country, that you could at least temporarily 260 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.480 shut down the power grid. I don't know, you know, if that's 261 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.680 I think that's a potential scenario, possible scenario. Fortunately, Amy that if 262 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.920 you look at these attacks from North Carolina to various other states, there's been 263 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:29.440 others in California have been either lone actors or two to three people acting together, 264 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:36.039 but not an organized attack where you would hit like substations. And I'm 265 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:40.000 making this up in three different states at the same time. That kind of 266 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:45.079 thing we haven't seen, and hopefully we won't, but it's certainly not impossible, 267 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:51.920 and there's a lot of places that they could hit, like you have 268 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.799 that the power grid has seventy three thousand power or no not seventy three thousand, 269 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:02.480 seventy three hundred power plants, fifty five thousand transmission substations and one hundred 270 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:06.599 and sixty thousand miles of high voltage power lines, and they're not I mean, 271 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.000 you can't guard them all. You're not going You're not going to You're 272 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:14.119 actually only going to guard a small part of that because think about you know, 273 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:18.680 driving through the countryside in California and you look up and there's these you 274 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.480 know, massive sort of triangular shaped towers with big wires, you know, 275 00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:29.200 that are running power from Las Vegas to La or wherever it's going. That 276 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:33.680 those are all potentially vulnerable to somebody taking them out. The substations, A 277 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.720 big chunk of those fifty five thousand are in the middle of nowhere, you 278 00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:42.119 know, like the two that were attacked in San Jose. So all of 279 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.920 that stuff, it's not realistic. And you're talking about jurisdictions who wouldn't have 280 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:51.759 a lot of money for security. You might have cameras, you might not, 281 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.000 But it's the inherent nature of it. And I think, you know, 282 00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.559 people just need to be aware, and clearly the federal government, in 283 00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:03.519 my view, you need to pick up their game as to how to more 284 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.680 collectively. You can't, as you pointed out, you can't protect all of 285 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.279 it. But you have to strategically protect more of it. And clearly we 286 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.960 haven't even talked about the cyber attack aspect of this, where you don't have 287 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.480 to blow anything up, you can just shut it down because you've infected systems 288 00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:25.559 with all sorts of malware, which some believe the Russians and Chinese may have 289 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:32.319 already done and they just don't act on it because of the obvious that we 290 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.240 would do the same thing to them. Yeah, and it's not only that 291 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:38.000 they that we need to prepare for it. We also need to come up 292 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:42.559 with contingency plans for if it happens. How do we you know what workarounds 293 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:48.640 could happen? You know, it's right, right, And it's like everything 294 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.720 else, we tend not to be good at that, right. Yeah, 295 00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:55.440 we wait until the crisis and then address it, as opposed to planning for 296 00:20:55.480 --> 00:21:00.599 the crisis, just like have we really planned for the next pandemic? Answers 297 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.839 no, And we'll we go through the same drill. God help us if 298 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.440 we do, but we might. I still have my masks, Brad, 299 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.240 well, you know, keep it in your pocket. All I can say. 300 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:12.640 Yeah, all right, one more thing to worry about, Thank you. 301 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:17.160 So much, Brad Garrett, No, it's good. We like to 302 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.960 have the information because when you know, then you can know how to do 303 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:25.039 something about it. Exactly. All right, Thanks Brad, appreciate it. 304 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:26.839 Have a good day you too. Let's get back to some of the stories 305 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.240 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Presidential candidates have weighed in 306 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:34.720 on the Israel Hamas war during the third Republican Debate, which was held in 307 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:38.599 Miami. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie spoke last night about how he's dealt 308 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:44.839 with anti Semitism in the past. Any hate crimes that were going on either 309 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:48.559 against Jewish Americans in New Jersey or Muslim Americans in New Jersey, it takes 310 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.160 leadership, lester to know how to do this. You must work with both 311 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.680 sides. Christy said mosques and synagogue should be protected as hate crimes rise in 312 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:02.440 the US. Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Ailey added anyone protesting in favor of 313 00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:07.559 Hamas should remember the terrorist group chants death to Israel and death to America. 314 00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.680 They hate and would kill you two. Ailey says she told Israeli Prime Minister 315 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:17.200 Benjamin Natanyahu to finish them as she put it, President Biden's traveling to Illinois 316 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.720 to meet with United Autoworkers President Sean Fain Workers, and Illinois Governor J. 317 00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.960 B. Pritzker. President Biden will praise the uaw FO its strike talks that 318 00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.160 help reopen ease the Landest factory in Belvedere, Illinois. He is making the 319 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.839 trip to highlight how that plant will help create thousands of jobs and promote electric 320 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:38.319 vehicles. ABC's Andy Field says Biden's trying to contrast himself to some of the 321 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:44.920 Republican presidential candidates he says are less union friendly. In and Out Burger has 322 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:48.279 announced new expansion plans. Following its seventy fifth anniversary. It'll be heading to 323 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.799 New Mexico, making it fully in the four corners by twenty twenty seven. 324 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:57.400 There are already in and outs in Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. In 325 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:03.160 and outs in Idaho and Tennessee are also in the works. Time to get 326 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:06.200 back to work, sag After has called off it's one hundred and eighteen day 327 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:10.319 strike after announcing a tentative agreement with the Hollywood Studios. The new deal includes 328 00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:15.200 protections for actors against AI and pay increases. Actors can now go back to 329 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.079 work, but do still need to vote to ratify the contract. As one 330 00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.079 strike ends, another one's about to begin. Eleven hundred maintenance employees at all 331 00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:27.480 twenty two California State University campuses are getting ready to walk off the job next 332 00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:33.200 week. The union says electricians, plumbers, mechanics, locksmiths and others keep 333 00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:37.000 the campuses running and they deserve a fair contract. Israeli strikes pounded Gaza City 334 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:45.119 overnight as ground forces battle Hamas militants in dense urban neighborhoods. Egyptian officials say 335 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.240 mediators are closing in on a possible deal for a three day ceasefire in exchange 336 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.839 for the release of about a dozen hostages held by Hamas. Israel's Prime Minister 337 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:57.480 Benjamin Netanyahu has said there will be no ceasefire until all the hostages are free. 338 00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:02.359 At six oh five TANDL on the News, presidential candidate Nikki Haley says 339 00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:07.559 Vivek Ramaswami is scum. That happened during last night's debate. We'll tell you 340 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.519 what sparked that one. At five point fifty ski season is opening in Lake 341 00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.279 Tahoe this weekend, but closer to home, Big Bear has gone totally tubular. 342 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.079 We're going to talk to the director of operations at Big Bear Snowplay in 343 00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:25.599 about fifteen minutes. I went out and about to the California Science Center because 344 00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:29.759 some big changes are coming there. As we talked about yesterday, the solid 345 00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.680 rocket motors are being lifted to an upright position, and the Space Shuttle Endeavor 346 00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:38.759 is also going to be moved and lifted into launch position at the Space Center. 347 00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:42.240 So we wanted to go and get a look at the Space Shuttle, 348 00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.839 which is on display now, but it's going to go away for a while 349 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:51.920 during the transition to the new exhibit. Jeffrey Rudolph is the president and CEO 350 00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:56.400 of the California Science Center. We got to see a real life spacecraft. 351 00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:59.359 So cool, Jeffrey, what are we looking at now? This is the 352 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:07.000 Space Shuttle in it is twenty five missions in space. It shows it. 353 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.359 It's wonderful. It's an amazing craft that both the spacecraft and then a glider 354 00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.079 when it lands back on Earth. We've been thrilled to have it here for 355 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.039 about eleven years now. I remember when it got here. It flew over 356 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:23.640 my house. When it was flying over the Griffith Park Observatory and I was 357 00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:29.079 like, that is the most incredible thing ever. And then we came down 358 00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:32.640 here to see it. This is the orbiter, which is the part that 359 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.240 the astronauts to be on and the payloads would be on, and it would 360 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.920 go into space for usually about two weeks, off into the space station some 361 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:47.480 missions before that, and then come back to Earth and land on the runway 362 00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:51.279 at Kidney Space Center and prepare for another mission. Which is an amazing feat 363 00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:55.119 in and of itself. So how big is this that? Oh, it's 364 00:25:55.160 --> 00:26:00.319 about one hundred and twenty plus feet long, seven to eight feet wide and 365 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:06.079 about sixty feet tall, which was quite a trick to move it through the 366 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:07.920 city of la I know, we watched it. We all watched it, 367 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.559 Okay, So we want to take a closer look too, because the intense 368 00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:18.279 heat that this thing has to endure to come in and go out of the 369 00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:25.279 atmosphere is just incredible. And the entire thing is covered with all these little 370 00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:29.759 squares right. These are what it's called the thermal protection system, and these 371 00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:37.480 tiles are all made to prevent heat from destroying the spacecraft, and yet they 372 00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:42.160 need to be lightweight, because the trick on space travel is that every pound 373 00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:48.799 to orbit takes an enormous amount of energy. I'm thinking about eight pounds of 374 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.200 fuel for every pound you take into orbit, which is why you have that 375 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:59.000 massive external fuel tank that's on the back and those solid rocket boosters that all 376 00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:03.799 together will launch this into space and go from zero to seventeen hundred miles an 377 00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:10.039 hour in eight minutes. That's so cool. So okay, Jeffrey, how 378 00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:14.559 did you get this space shuttle? There was a big national competition. We 379 00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:18.079 actually thought about it when we did the master plan for the California Science Center 380 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.839 in the early nineteen nineties and said, what are some big things we'd want 381 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.039 in our future science center, and we knew we were going to do an 382 00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.319 air and space thing. We said, someday they're going to retire the space 383 00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:30.559 shuttles and we should try to get one. And we said, I love 384 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.000 that. We should try to get one, and when we do, we 385 00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.440 should put in launch position because this the orbiter, couldn't go into space by 386 00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:42.039 itself. The whole story is about the enormous energy it takes to go into 387 00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:47.119 space and what a complex business it is to get people or things into space. 388 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:49.640 So we said we should show the whole stack, and that, in 389 00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:53.279 fact is what we're doing, okay, And so a new book brings us 390 00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:59.440 to why we're here today. One because this display the shuttle as it is 391 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:02.039 now is I'm only going to be on display until the end of the year. 392 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.799 That's true. This exhibit, which is the temper Exhibit of Endeavor in 393 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.400 the Samulotion pavilion, will close December thirty first this year, twenty twenty three. 394 00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:18.799 It will close to make it possible for us to move Endeavor and the 395 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:25.319 solid rocket boosters and the external tank into the new Samuelotion there in Space Center, 396 00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:29.039 which is now in construction, right, and you've got like the base 397 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:30.839 of it is pretty much done, so you're like, okay, that's pretty 398 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:36.279 good. You move the rocket the rocket motors over which we saw them going 399 00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.519 through the streets of La not too long ago. That was super exciting, 400 00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:44.440 and so you're going to take this out of the building, move it over 401 00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:49.359 there and stand everything upright. We put the solid rocket boosters in first, 402 00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.559 then we put the external tank, and then we put Endeavor because they all 403 00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:56.839 attached that way. We've already put in the what it's called the aft skirts, 404 00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:03.599 which is the very bottom piece of the solid boosters. They are vital 405 00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.359 because they're the only thing on this whole thing when it goes to launch that 406 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.599 attached to the launch pad. Okay, And we have those attached to our 407 00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:15.000 seismic isolation pad so that in the event of a big earthquake endeavor, we'll 408 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.480 move independently the building and be safe. Very high tech, okay. And 409 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:19.720 it's going to stand up, So it's going to close. We're not going 410 00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:25.319 to see it for a few years. We don't know yet when the upright 411 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:30.839 exhibit is going to open guesstimate. Yeah, we're we're going to put it 412 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.640 in this early next year, and then the rest of the building will take 413 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.599 about another year and a half to complete the building, and then we're going 414 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.519 to put in the exhibits. We've got aviation gallery, space gallery we're looking 415 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:47.359 at We're putting in the four fifty feet of a seven forty seven. We've 416 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:52.799 got other spacecraft got from the past, the Murcury Gemin Apollo, will have 417 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.599 a SpaceX Dragon, we'll have a robotic space flight that have gone to the 418 00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.839 outer planets. We'll look at so a lot of stuff going in and that 419 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.359 will take us some time after that, so we're looking about three to four 420 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.039 years. And this is Jeffrey's baby, like he is the guy behind this. 421 00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.119 This has got to be so exciting for you. So what's exciting for 422 00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:14.440 you right now is that it's time to come and see the Space Shuttle in 423 00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:18.359 its current position. It is spectacular and it's here until the end of this 424 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.960 year. Thank you so much, Jeffrey Rudolph. Thank you. Amy. 425 00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:27.200 Okay, So I also invite you to go to my Instagram at Amy K 426 00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:32.720 King so you can see the shuttle and hear the entire interview because we get 427 00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.000 up really close and you can see the little panels that we were talking about, 428 00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:38.720 you can see the scorch marks, you can see little pieces of damage 429 00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:44.160 to the shuttle, and you get to walk right underneath it. And it's 430 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:48.440 as you heard Jeffrey saying, it's ginormous and spectacular and it's here until the 431 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.720 end of the year at the California Science Center. So it definitely worth going 432 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.640 to check out. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 433 00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:57.960 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Police in Long Beach have fatally shot a 434 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:03.039 man suspected of stabbing his mother. Police were called yesterday about the attack. 435 00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.519 They say they found the man still holding the knife and that he advanced toward 436 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:11.400 an officer when he was shot. The man also had stabbing injuries. He 437 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.720 died at the hospital. A study by the USDA shows thousands of Californians eligible 438 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:19.960 for the Women, Infant, and Children program are not signing up for benefits. 439 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:25.200 Women may not be applying for the federal Food and Nutrition program because of 440 00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:30.240 the stigma associated with governmental assistance. USDA spokesman Hesus Mendoza says Wick is now 441 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.640 making it more discreet for mothers when buying food. He used to be a 442 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:38.839 boucher, paper cupum base, and now he's on the Electronic Benefit Transfer EBT 443 00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:42.319 card, and he's like a debit card. About one point four million women 444 00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:45.759 and children in the state are eligible for the program, based on census data 445 00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:51.440 from twenty twenty one, but only about two thirds are participating. Chris Adler 446 00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:56.359 KFI News New York's attorney general has rested the state's case in the two hundred 447 00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:00.400 and fifty million dollar civil case against the Trump organization. Prosecutors are expected to 448 00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:07.359 try to have some defense witnesses disqualified today before Trump's lawyers present their case on 449 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:13.400 Monday. LAPD has broken up several fist fights that broke out in front of 450 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.599 the Museum of Tolerance last night after its screen footage of the October seventh Hamas 451 00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:23.079 attack on Israel. The forty three minute film Bearing Witness is extremely graphic and 452 00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:28.799 violent and includes footage recorded on bodycam by members of Hamas. Schools in the 453 00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.960 Tustin School District are closed today. Nine parks are also closed, and the 454 00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:37.279 city's Veterans Day celebrations planned for Saturday have been canceled because of the fire at 455 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:43.279 the hangar at Tustin Base. The air quality samples in the neighborhoods surrounding the 456 00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:50.200 hangar tested positives for asbestos and airborne toxins like benzene. For the first time, 457 00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:53.680 a majority of Californians disapprove of the job President Biden is doing. A 458 00:32:53.799 --> 00:33:00.279 UC Berkeley survey shows fifty two percent disapprove of Biden's performance as president, scored 459 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:04.519 low in how he's handling inflation, immigration, and the war between Israel and 460 00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.880 Hamas. We're just a few minutes away from handle on the news this morning, 461 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:12.720 a big brothel involving some big wigs in the US government and military. 462 00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.759 What could possibly be wrong with that? Let's say good morning now to the 463 00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:23.279 director of operations at Big Bear Snowflake Snowplay. It's Scott Void. Scott, 464 00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:28.079 you've been making snow. Now it's ready to go, So tell us what's 465 00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:34.359 happening at Big Bear Snowplay. Yes, good morning. We are currently still 466 00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:38.960 making snow. It's twenty three degrees out temperatures, so Thanksgiving it look good 467 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:44.920 for snowmaking, and our town's excited to hear that. Big Bear Mountain Resorts 468 00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:50.400 decided to start up their snowmaking last night. Also, it's eighty degrees here 469 00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.519 but wintertime in Big Bear and so are you guys open now or opening soon? 470 00:33:54.839 --> 00:34:00.599 We are open. We opened last Friday. We have anywhere for foot 471 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:06.279 to four foot base already started with two runs, and over this next week 472 00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:10.679 our heill will be expanding to four to five runs and into Thanksgiving hopefully seven 473 00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.119 Very cool. Okay, So now, just to be clear in case you're 474 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.079 not familiar with it, Big Bear Snowflake is a snowplate. Is a tubing 475 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:24.960 area? Correct, We're tubing area. We have two uphill moving sidewalks, 476 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:29.559 conveyor belts called magic carpets, so you don't have to walk. Oh cool, 477 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.960 a huge base lodge where you can get warm, get hot chocolate for 478 00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:38.400 the family, a nice little snack bar. And also we have a ropes 479 00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:45.800 course that's open on weekends. What's a ropes course. So there's a second 480 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:49.559 and third floor to it. There's thirty one elements. You hook it at 481 00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:52.599 the bottom and go up to set of stairs to the first floor and you 482 00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:57.119 can go through all kinds of jungle gym type features. Oh okay, great, 483 00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:01.159 And I want to talk about this magic carpet because it's snowplay is different 484 00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:05.199 because it's different than just going out into the mountains finding some a patch of 485 00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:08.079 snow and jumping on your tube because you can do it over and over and 486 00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:12.840 over with the magic carpet, which so it's just a conveyor belt and people 487 00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:14.920 just stand on it and it takes up to the top of the hill with 488 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:17.320 your tube all right, So as you get to the bottom and you grab 489 00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:22.119 your tube, jump on the lift and up you go. You can play 490 00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:24.960 all day, don't get tired. I love that. And for people who 491 00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:29.440 have not been tubing before, but are going, Okay, I want some 492 00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:31.840 snow. I'm headed up to Big Bear Snowplay. What do they need to 493 00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:37.239 know before they go? Right now? The roads look good. Next week 494 00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:42.320 we do have our first storm coming in, so always check the website for 495 00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.400 road and chain conditions, and when you're in the mountains, carry your chains 496 00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:50.679 with you.
