Improve up your host, Amy Kay. It is five o'clock. 4 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:38.359 This is your wake up call for Thursday, January fourth. I'm Amy King. 5 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.000 Had to think about what the day was. We're already deep into twenty 6 00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:47.159 twenty four. I can't even say Happy New Year anymore, Nah, I 7 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.679 can, I still will. We're only four days in Kono. Don't give 8 00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:55.759 me that look too late. Four days, no more celebrations. That's it, 9 00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.679 all right? Fine, Hey, I'm celebrating that it wasn't super windy 10 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.359 on my way into work last night. I don't know about where you are, 11 00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:11.040 but last night I went to bed and it was blowing like crazy, 12 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.200 Like I couldn't go to sleep because the winds were just howling. The cats 13 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.719 are like, hey, what's going on? But and I was just sort 14 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:25.719 of waiting for the roof to come off, like it was seriously blowing that 15 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.920 hard. And we're expecting more wins today, so batten down the hatches. 16 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.120 We've got wind advisories in several areas. Will be telling you about that. 17 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.200 Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. The names of one hundred and fifty 18 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.560 people associated with Jeffrey Epstein have been released. They include former presidents Trump and 19 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.879 Clinton. Other people mentioned in the documents released yesterday include Britton's Prince Andrew, 20 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:53.359 Michael Jackson, magician David Copperfield, and Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer. Some 21 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.200 beaches in La County have been closed because of a more than fifteen thousand gallon 22 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:02.200 sewage spill. Officials say the spill yesterday actually happened miles away at the Rubio 23 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.359 Wash in San Gabriel, but the sewage got into the La River and washed 24 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.639 down to Long Beach west of Belmont Shore. The Federal Reserve appears to be 25 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.159 done with rate hikes. Members of a key FED committee predicted rate cuts in 26 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:22.240 twenty twenty four. That's according to a new meeting minutes from December that were 27 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.599 just released yesterday at six oh five. It's handle on the news. Several 28 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.759 state capitol buildings were evacuated because of a mass email threat. We'll tell you 29 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.599 about that. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the 30 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:37.919 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. La County has started cleaning up beaches that have 31 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.560 been pounded by big waves. Large waves brought on by storms over the last 32 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.199 week have left behind trash, debris, and even caused erosion on some of 33 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.199 the beaches. LA County Beaches and Harbor's Carol Baker says the surge has also 34 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:52.960 pushed garbage into storm drains, so that will end up on the beach and 35 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.520 it just takes a while because we have to use mechanized equipment. We need 36 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.199 to take it in pieces, says Lifeguard Towers that were heavily hit during the 37 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.680 swaller also being inspected. The department will be working to address the most vulnerable 38 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:12.439 areas to ensure safety and sanitation. Chris Adler, Keffie News The Laped says 39 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.639 a guy's been detained in connection with the hit and run deaths of three members 40 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.759 of the same family on New Year's Eve. All three were in a smaller 41 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.680 sedan when they were broadsided by Chevy tahoe going close to eighty miles an hour 42 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.639 in a residential zone in south central LA. Detective Ryan Moreno says the scene 43 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.960 was one of the worst he's ever witnessed. I think when you see this 44 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.360 car, and you see just the destruction as the vehicle. I think the 45 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.120 hard thing is looking at these two little car sheets in the back that are 46 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.039 covered in blood. Moreno says the father, mother, and five year old 47 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.800 daughter were killed. The one year old daughters in critical condition. Moreno says 48 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.280 alcohol played a factor in the crash and the driver could be facing murder charges. 49 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:52.159 Steve Gregor kfin News. Former President Trump has asked the US Supreme Court 50 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.919 to overturn a ruling that bars him from the primary ballot in Colorado. Colorado 51 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.360 Supreme Court ruled last month that under the Fourteenth Amendment, Trump cannot run because 52 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:06.080 he engaged in insurrection on January sixth. Trump's attorneys yesterday said they disagree. 53 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:10.599 The attorneys argue it's up to Congress, not the courts or state officials, 54 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.240 to determine whether a candidate is eligible to be president, and they claim that 55 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.319 office isn't covered by Section three of the Fourteenth Amendment ABC. Stephen Portnoy says 56 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:23.959 courts across the country have been grappling with these questions, but only the Supreme 57 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.680 Court can answer them. A man who appeared in court in Las Vegas for 58 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.240 aggravated battery has attacked a judge during his sentencing. Alex Stone says Judge Mary 59 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:39.839 kay Holthis was sitting on the bench when Diebor Redden ran up, jumped over 60 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.000 the bench and attacked her. Judge Holthas took cover, appearing to hit her 61 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.800 head, and court security jumped in fighting with Reddin. The Clark County Court 62 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.279 says Judge Holthas had injuries and her condition is being monitored. Stone says A 63 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.920 Marshall was also injured and taken to the hospital yesterday. The guy had just 64 00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:00.160 been sentenced to thirty years in prison. SpaceX has put a cell tower in 65 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.319 space. Elon Musk's company launched six STARLINGK satellites yesterday, designed to provide LTE 66 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:11.519 mobile phones with network signals. The billionaire partnered with T Mobile, saying the 67 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.360 direct to sell satellites are meant to connect people in areas where it's impossible to 68 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.879 get service, like in my apartment. Let's get back to some of the 69 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.360 Actually, we're not going to get back to some of the stories just yet, 70 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.160 because we're going to get back to Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. And even 71 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.959 though Cono says, I can't say it happy New Year. Jordana, Oh 72 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.680 yeah, you can still say that I'm America. Okay, good. So 73 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:38.839 I have my Jewish New Year and my American New Year. It's all good. 74 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.920 Lots of celebrations. So Israel has pulled some troops out of the Gaza 75 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:48.279 Strip, but the chief of Israel's intelligence services basically doubled down, saying they're 76 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:53.800 going to continue to hunt down every single Hamas member involved in the October seventh 77 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:59.839 massacre. That's right, Spy Chief David Barnea, who heads up the Mossad, 78 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.680 essentially putting out a warning saying that any and every Humas leader that was 79 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:12.759 involved directly or indirectly in October seventh, what is called a massacre here. 80 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.639 You know, over twelve hundred Israelis killed, over two hundred kidnapped. He 81 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.839 said, anyone involved in October seventh, that Israel is going to hunt them 82 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:28.240 down and essentially kill them. That was the implication. He was saying it 83 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:34.480 in his eulogy for former Mosad chiefs vis Amir, and that Masad chief was 84 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:39.319 the first one who kind of went on the offensive after the Munich massacre, 85 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:46.720 when Palestinian militant murdered eleven members of Israel's Olympic team. That chief the mir 86 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.040 decided that he was going to set up a unit that was going to, 87 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.600 even if it took years, go out and assassinate everyone involved in that attack. 88 00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:00.639 And that's essentially what Barney is saying here, and it's the strongest indication 89 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:08.879 yet that Israel carried out assassination in Beirut two nights ago of atop AMS leader 90 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:15.720 because Sala Aururi is suspected of helping plan and plot the October seventh attack, 91 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:21.120 and he was killed on Lovanie soil. Barnea making this threat saying you know, 92 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.680 no matter where you are, will find you, even if it takes 93 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:30.720 us a long time, Okay. And is there indications Jordana of how many 94 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.759 people they may be talking about. They say they're going after every single one, 95 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:42.399 But do we have any idea how many strong Hamas is well. I 96 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.519 think he was primarily making the threat against its top leaders. I mean, 97 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.000 many of the actual fighters who carried out the attack were either killed on the 98 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:55.920 day of the attack once the army got down there, or they've been killed 99 00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:01.920 on the battlefield. But leaders like Ya Kassinoir, who's the head of Hamas's 100 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:09.639 military wing, he's allegedly hiding somewhere underground under Hanyunis or for example, Mohammed 101 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.399 Death their deputies, both of them would be on the list as well. 102 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:20.040 And if Mohanea is the head of Hamas, he's likely on the list too. 103 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.480 So, you know, David Barney is talking about the really the highest 104 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.839 ranks of those who plotted, as he called it, you know, plotted, 105 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.840 were the envoys to the attack, other people involved in the attack. 106 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:41.720 And there were about three thousand Hamas fighters that came over the Gaza border blowing 107 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:48.080 up, you know, almost twenty different entry points into southern Gaza into southern 108 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.639 Israel. Those a lot of those fighters, you know, they're either still 109 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.519 fighting or being killed or were already killed. Now, we haven't talked to 110 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.559 you, Jordana since before before the Christmas holiday, but we did get word 111 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.360 earlier this week that Israel was planning to pull a lot of troops out of 112 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.080 the Gaza strip. But that's not a signal that they're ending their operations there. 113 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.879 Correct, Correct, I'm the Prime Minister of the Defense Minister, the 114 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.120 head of the Israeli Army. Everybody has been very clear the war's not ending, 115 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.279 but it does seem that there is a shift in strategy. Israel seems 116 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:31.279 to be thinning out its troops in northern Gaza, moving out reserve soldiers, 117 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:37.600 thousands of them, and instead focusing most of its firepower on Conunis, a 118 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:43.159 city in the south that's the last hamastronghold, and some areas in central Gaza. 119 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.519 And as the Defense Minister said, there'll be smaller operations in the north 120 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:54.600 where Israel has what it claims is operational control over most of northern Gaza, 121 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.919 and in the south. It will still be a high intense war. But 122 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.399 this is in line with the talks the US and Israel has been having about 123 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:09.000 switching to a kind of lower intensity war, one that might be you know, 124 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.720 just as effective going after you know, the strongholds that are left or 125 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.000 based on until now, and there's a lot from Hamas fighters that were taken 126 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:24.080 in and interrogated, going after a certainarians rather than a full force ground offensive 127 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.679 in every part of the Gaza Stript. It will also be safer for civilians, 128 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.919 God willing, in the Gaza Stript. Some can return home to their 129 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:39.440 homes in northern Gaza because so many about one point eight million, are packed 130 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.080 into the south, and it will help get more aid in and distribute that 131 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.120 aid quicker when there's less you know, airstrikes and fire power from all sides. 132 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.919 Okay, And speaking of the civilians who said that they there may be 133 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.000 an ability to go home, do they even have homes to go through, 134 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.600 go back to? I mean from the pictures we've seen, I mean gaz 135 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:05.200 is just decimated. Yeah, I mean there are you know, there's there. 136 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.039 I think the as them that to the seventy percent of the homes and 137 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.039 the Garsa strip have been damaged or destroyed, that's a lot. So certainly 138 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.960 there will be some families that have you know, nothing to go back to. 139 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.679 But certainly, you know, people would rather be back in their familiar 140 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.440 surroundings, in their neighborhoods and their neighbors, et cetera, and trying to 141 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:33.159 figure out what Plan B is than them living in a tent and you know, 142 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.639 in southern Gaza somewhere with you know, packed in with a lot of 143 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:45.360 people. So it's it's a it's a small improvement. But obviously, you 144 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.159 know, rebuilding the Gaza Strip and what the Gods Strip will look like when 145 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:54.200 this war's over, that's a whole nother interview, Okay, and I'm sure 146 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.519 that we will be having that discussion in the very near future. Jordana Miller, 147 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.559 thank you so much for your time. Thanks Texans. All right, 148 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.080 let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 149 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:09.759 hour newsroom. Previously sealed court documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are 150 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.320 starting to be really as daring, Katursky says. The documents released last night 151 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.799 revealed the names of powerful people who associated with Epstein. These documents have been 152 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.440 unsealed on a rolling basis over the last number of years, and finally the 153 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.039 judge just decided that there really was no longer a compelling reason to keep them 154 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:31.080 fully sealed any longer. Epstein was accused of abusing young girls and women for 155 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.080 years. He killed himself in jail in twenty nineteen while awaiting sex trafficking charges. 156 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.840 A thirteen year old girl who turned up missing during a family vacation in 157 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:46.000 la has been found safe. LAPD says Valentina Magana was located and being reunited 158 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.120 with her family. She was last seen Tuesday afternoon after she got into an 159 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.679 argument with her mom over some makeup. The teen and her family are visiting 160 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:58.559 La from Mexico. The bill to change Proposition forty seven in California has been 161 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:05.480 interduced at the state Capitol. Democratic Assemblyman Carlos Villa Pudua has a plan that 162 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.399 would adjust the nine hundred and fifty dollars threshold between misdemeanor and felony theft. 163 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.519 We need to do more for our constituents, more for our retailers. We 164 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.159 need to make sure that we're retaining our businesses here.

Investigators say the driver hit the deputy on purpose. She's 177 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.840 been treated and released from the hospital. A thirteen year old from Oklahoma is 178 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.559 reported to be the first person ever to beat Tetris.

Humans prevail again. At 182 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.879 six oh five, it's handle on the news. A big old sewage spill 183 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:58.559 in San Gabriel has prompted beach closures miles and miles away. So it's not 184 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.879 every day that you get to to talk to a real hero, but with 185 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.320 us, this morning is CNN's new Hero of the Year doctor Kwan Stewart from 186 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:11.600 San Diego. He is the street vet and provides veterinary services to homeless dogs. 187 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.080 So doctor Stewart, good morning. Can you please tell us what it 188 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.799 is you do and why you do it? So I've been a veterinara now 189 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:24.960 for he's going on twenty six years. But about halfway through my career, 190 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.200 I found myself actually wanting to quit my own profession. And there's a longer 191 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.759 story behind it, but I was a shelter veterinarian at the time and it 192 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:39.919 was just on a good time to be a shelter at a municipality no less, 193 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.480 we had a high youth and Asia eight and it was during the recession, 194 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.759 and I felt like exiting, exiting and just finding something else entirely different 195 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.840 is that because it was just so heartbreaking to see I. Like you said, 196 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.879 it was during the recession and people were turning in pets and so the 197 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.480 shelters were probably flooded and overcrowded. You have no choice at that point, 198 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:06.080 but then to euthanize them, right, It was the eth and Asians that 199 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:08.840 were getting to me, and they were daily and they were by the dozens, 200 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.279 and it was it just started to kill a part of my soul. 201 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.000 And you know, when you're a little boy dreaming of being a vet one 202 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.279 day, it's not what you envisioned. So yeah, I was, you 203 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:26.000 know, looking back now, and you don't really fully realize it or appreciate 204 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:27.879 the time. I think I was going through some depression doing the work, 205 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.240 and how could you not when you're seeing that daily. And yeah, I 206 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.960 just happened to come across this unhoused man and his dog and sort of sort 207 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:44.519 of a random act of helping him of kindness, I rediscovered why I should 208 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:49.120 be in this profession that, over the years, caught the attention of multiple 209 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.840 people, but ultimately seeing then Okay, so tell me about the man and 210 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:57.480 his dog. Well, he was sitting there outside of seven eleven, sort 211 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.840 of off to the side, and you sometimes we'll see them panhandling. I 212 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.559 went in to get coffee and as I came out, I looked to my 213 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.799 left and he was there crossing the corner with his dog. And I, 214 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.759 you know, regretably, i'd seen this guy before, and I had ignored 215 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.319 him before, but on this day, probably because I was in my own 216 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.039 funk in fact, I was in my head just before I went in. 217 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.480 I was writing my letter of resignation. I sort of sort of crafting it 218 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.680 in my head as I was getting my coffee, and so, for whatever 219 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:27.079 reason, I know I was in this mental space. I took notice of 220 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.519 him and his dog. I stepped over. I could tell his dog had 221 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.119 a serious skin issue. It turned out just to be fleezed. And for 222 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.640 anyone listening who may or may not own a dog, if a dog has 223 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.279 fleas long enough, it can completely destroy the skin. And this dog looked 224 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.359 like a burn victim. The hair was gone, the skin was red, 225 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.440 and Bumpy was infected. The dog was miserable. The man was miserable. 226 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.720 He was living with his dog and the fleas as well. And I just 227 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.400 I leaned over. I introduced myself. I said, I'm a quand Steward, 228 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.880 I'm a veterinarian. If you're here tomorrow, I'll return with something that 229 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.200 should help. I did as promised. It was all of three dollars out 230 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.400 of my pockets. It was just a basic flea treatment. And I saw 231 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.799 the same dog about a week and a half later, and the dog was 232 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:14.240 just transformed, happy, The hair was coming back, and the man sitting 233 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.440 in the same spot looking up at me, said, with tears in his 234 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:22.680 eyes, thank you for not ignoring me. And I just had this lightning 235 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:29.200 bolt of feeling. It was so rewarding, and it was so easy. 236 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.839 It took so little of my time to just pull this dog out of suffering, 237 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:36.440 a dog that probably otherwise never would have gotten help. Just the man 238 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.440 just didn't have resources, obviously, and I just told myself, I'm going 239 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.759 to do more of this. And that was twelve years ago and I haven't 240 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.839 stopped since. Okay, so now what do you do, because now we 241 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.519 know that you are the street vent, so tell us about what you're out 242 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.839 and about doing. I pack a bag of medical supplies. This is pretty 243 00:18:52.880 --> 00:19:00.440 simple, and in it are vaccines at inflammatories, and I bought Tonyl trimmer, 244 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:06.960 is just a basic kit. And I hit impoverised areas of the cities, 245 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.519 mainly southern California where I live. I live in San Diego, but 246 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.599 I go to La a lot at skid row, and I just walk through 247 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:18.839 these encampments and I look for people in pets. Our census tells us that 248 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.640 about twenty percent of our homeless own the pets that's been my observation as well. 249 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.240 It's about one out of five. And so if you just walk through 250 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:27.839 these areas, you're going to come across people in pets. And when I 251 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.839 do, I introduce myself just like I did a day at seven to eleven 252 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:36.519 and ask them if I can help their dog in any way. Usually I 253 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.319 say yes, and I just get to work and I can treat about eighty 254 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:42.880 percent of the dogs I see the cases I see out of that bag about 255 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.680 eighty percent, so I can do a lot out of a pretty small bag. 256 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:51.680 For the other twenty percent, I need to get them into hospital care 257 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.720 for further care, could be an anesthetic procedure to remove a tumor or extract 258 00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:59.359 a tooth or what have you. But we will and we cover all the 259 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:03.200 costs. And who you say we cover the cost who pays for this? 260 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:10.000 Well, my charity. It's it's a Project Street Vet and we officially formed 261 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:14.359 in twenty twenty and five to one, and yeah, through that, through 262 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:21.319 donations and and we have This is the part of blows me away. Yeah, 263 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:26.240 I know we're a pet loving nation and we are. There is something 264 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.920 about pets and our connection to them, and it just plays out over and 265 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.960 over. They're more popular than they've ever been. This younger generation are replacing 266 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:38.119 kids with pets. It's just it's a part of who we are. And 267 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:45.279 I just never imagine when I started this charity that people would would be as 268 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:49.400 generous as they are, and they are so giving, and the whole mission 269 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:56.000 runs entirely on donations. But people have been so generous, and and we 270 00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.799 do. We have good resources. We're well resourced, and so I never 271 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.960 have to turn an animal away. If family to go in for a five 272 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.039 thousand dollars procedure, then we can cover it. If it's something lest we 273 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.079 covered, if it's fall up care reach outs and so forth, then we 274 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.079 have the resources that take care of these animals the way they can be cared 275 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:18.039 for. Now, doctor Stewart not only takes care of hundreds of homeless pets 276 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.319 by providing those veterinary services for free, he's taken it a step further. 277 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.359 And tomorrow we're going to continue our conversation to find out how about his new 278 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:32.400 program to feed homeless pets has been launched. He'll also tell us more about 279 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.319 how he got the attention of CNN and became their hero of the year. 280 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:38.400 Amazing Man, amazing organization. Be sure to join us tomorrow, same time 281 00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:42.720 tomorrow. Also, you can donate money and find out how you can volunteer 282 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.640 to help with projects street Vet at projectstreetvet dot org. Talk about an impressive 283 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:52.680 person. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 284 00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.000 twenty four hour newsroom. Orange County we'll spend one hundred and nine million dollars 285 00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:02.920 to remodel its juvenile detention center to a rehabilitation, treatment and training campus, 286 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.960 modernizing our juvenile justice system. Mostly Supervisor Katrina Foley says the new campus will 287 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.759 have sixty beds for detention, but also dozens of transitional beds with wrap around 288 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:17.960 services for people who are about to be released to reduce re entry into our 289 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.119 criminal justice system. We want people to do their time and leave better than 290 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:27.039 they came in, healthier, stronger, better trained, and able to become 291 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:32.559 good citizens and have good stable wives. Demolition is expected to start early this 292 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:37.680 year in Orange County. Corbin Carson kf I news Police in Pomona have arrested 293 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.519 two teenagers seen on camera attacking a couple at gunpoint as they tried to sell 294 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:47.759 an iPad video from the seller's tesla captured the attack last month. He says 295 00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:52.559 he sold fifty items from an online market place and never had any problems until 296 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.039 now. The arrests were announced yesterday. Police say people should always meet in 297 00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:02.160 a well lit, busy location and to share that location with someone they trust. 298 00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:06.960 The Biden administration says it is likely Isis is behind the twin bombings in 299 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.119 Iran that killed at least eighty four people. ABC's aik Ajaji says the bombs 300 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:17.799 detonated yesterday from backpacks during a ceremony marking the death of Iran's former talk General 301 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:22.680 Cause Solomoni, who was killed four years ago by the US. US officials 302 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.960 denying involvement. The attack comes just one day after officials say and Israeli drone 303 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:33.880 targeted and killed a top Hamas official. Jaji says Sulimani was the mastermind behind 304 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:40.079 militia groups that included Hamas and Hesbalah. Iranian officials blamed Israel and the US, 305 00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:44.119 saying Israel will pay the price. Nets have been installed under the Golden 306 00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:47.519 Gate Bridge. Officials in San Francisco approved the project more than a decade ago, 307 00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:51.400 but work didn't start on the twenty foot wide stainless steel mesh nets. 308 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:56.720 Until twenty eighteen, the project was repeatedly delayed, but officially was completed yesterday. 309 00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:00.279 Nearly two thousand people have died from jump off the bridge since it opened 310 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:04.200 in nineteen thirty seven. I want to tell you about something that's very cool. 311 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:10.599 It's going on at the ocean right now. Orange County beaches are lighting 312 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:15.920 up thanks to bioluminescent waves. If you've never seen this, it is so 313 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:22.039 spectacular, and the bioluminess is now gracing the waves of Huntington Beach, Newport 314 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:29.279 Beach, and Laguna Beach. And so what it is. It's algae that 315 00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:33.839 creates glowing neon blue waves, and so when the waves break, instead of 316 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:41.039 seeing the white, glows blue. And then there's even a tour operator that's 317 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.759 taking people out in boats at night, so when you go through the waves, 318 00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:48.359 even the wake from the boat lights up. And they've said they've seen 319 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:53.480 some pretty spectacular things like dolphins diving in and out of the waves and the 320 00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:59.240 waves lighting up. I haven't seen it for years, but if you get 321 00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:03.640 a chance and find yourself at the ocean, bioluminescence and it reminds me of 322 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:10.759 something from Avatar from Pandora because it's just so otherworldly but very cool. Bioluminescence 323 00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:17.640 at Orange County going on now through until it runs out. The names of 324 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:21.240 one hundred and fifty people associated with Jeffrey E.

Downtown LA is the most dangerous neighborhood in Los Angeles. A new 328 00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.640 top ten list from the website Property Club says Downtown is followed by West Adams, 329 00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:47.799 the wholesale district in skid Row, Hollywood, and South LA. Property 330 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.359 Club reports Downtown LA's crime rate is five hundred and thirty percent higher than the 331 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.400 national average. Some beaches in La County have been closed because of a more 332 00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:00.960 than fifteen thousand gallon sewage spill. Officials say this bill yesterday actually happened miles 333 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.559 away at the Rubio Wash in San Gabriel, but the sewage went into the 334 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:10.519 La River and washed is washing down toward Long Beach west of Belmont Shore at 335 00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:12.480 six oh five, it's handled on the news. Former President Trump has asked 336 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:17.079 the Supreme Court to let him back on the ballot in Colorado. At five 337 00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:19.720 point fifty, we're going to get the latest on that plane collision in Japan 338 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:25.440 and what may have contributed to the two planes crashing into each other on the 339 00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:29.400 runway one of Japan's busiest airports. Right now, though, let's say good 340 00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:34.480 morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim as Billy Joel says, I'm moving out. 341 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.640 Yeah, a lot of folks are, and it's appropriate. I suppose 342 00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:42.599 that people are moving out of New Jersey and New York hometown to Billy Joel. 343 00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:45.799 Right, but if you look at this, and this is a really 344 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.440 fascinating way to look at this, I think, Amy, what U haul 345 00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:53.000 does? You haul rented something like two and a half million moving trucks and 346 00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.799 trailers last year. So if you look at the number of that are rented 347 00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:00.480 one way, right, So you're moving from Las Vegas, for example, 348 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.079 Or you rent a truck in Las Vegas and you turn it in in Scottsdale, 349 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:07.119 Arizona, and you don't return that. The assumption is that you've moved 350 00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.640 to scotts Stale, Arizona from Las Vegas. Right, So they put together 351 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.119 this big data set to looking at the places that people are moving from and 352 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.720 the places they're going too. Sorry to end with that preposition there, but 353 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:26.279 and we'll give you a pass on this. Sorry anyway. So the top 354 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.240 growth state for twenty twenty three, at least according to u HAUL and this 355 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:33.359 big data set, Texas comes out on top and has been there for the 356 00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.359 last few years. Florida is in second place. North Carolina is in third. 357 00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:40.880 South Carolina is in fourth place. So those states in the south, 358 00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:45.359 the southwest, and southeast still remain popular places for relocations. But it's interested 359 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:52.359 to see that in sixth place Idaho. Really Idaho, well you know that. 360 00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:55.799 I think that it's become kind of the new destination where people used to 361 00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:59.799 like leave California and go to Oregon. I think they don't want anything to 362 00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:02.960 do with Oregon because it's my home state and frankly, it's a mess. 363 00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.359 So they're going to Idaho. Idaho, it's my home state, and people 364 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.720 seem to like it there. I guess. You know. It's not the 365 00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:12.400 winters, I can tell you they get cold up there, but it's a 366 00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:18.480 nice place. The fairly diverse economy, and so Idaho comes out pretty strongly 367 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:22.880 on this list. Then that's not to say that people may So that's the 368 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:25.599 breakdown by state, State by state, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, 369 00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:29.519 South Carolina. But if you look at the city breakdown, Texas doesn't come 370 00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:33.720 in until fifth place. Who does Florida, Palm Bay, Melbourne, That 371 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:40.319 metropolitan area is the top growth city according to U haul one way rentals. 372 00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:45.839 Oh, Califlorida is in second place. And where are people most leaving? 373 00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:51.680 Did we say California? California? Yeah, for the it's the it's showing 374 00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:55.880 in that decrease, fourth year in a row that California had the largest loss 375 00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.799 net loss of one way movers. And also down at that in that category 376 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.079 Michigan, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York State. No 377 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:08.759 big surprise is there for the other ones? Yeah? Yeah, So people 378 00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:15.160 kind of stopped moving during the pandemic because everybody was sort of frozen. But 379 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.920 now are those are those moving levels back up again? Well? Yeah, 380 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.799 they went back up after the pandemic. So in twenty twenty one, you 381 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:27.440 saw a lot of people renting trucks and moving away. The number went down 382 00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:32.079 just a little last year twenty twenty three, and was twenty twenty two, 383 00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:33.799 and then down a little from that in twenty twenty three. So I think 384 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:38.039 there was a big spike in twenty twenty one right after the pandemic people who 385 00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.720 maybe decided they were going to move before COVID came along, they put it 386 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.920 off until after the pandemic had kind of eased a bit, and then they 387 00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:49.079 rented their trucks and moved away. The other thing to consider is this, 388 00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:53.920 so U haul has a specific kind of audience, right, maybe a younger 389 00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.000 audience, people who are just setting out on their own so they can't afford 390 00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.839 to hire movers. Yeah, exactly right. They rent the truck, they 391 00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.039 drive the truck, they load the truck, and then unload it. On 392 00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:07.480 the other end, United Moving, United Van Lines, which is your higher 393 00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:11.240 end moving company. I suppose you're hiring a crew to load up your house 394 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.440 and the crew to drive it somewhere and then to unload it. It shows 395 00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:21.160 that the Northeast is the most popular place to move into. Oh that surprises 396 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:23.759 me, Yeah, because well it's wintertime. So does you all of any 397 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:27.839 predictions for twenty twenty four? Do they just look back. They just throw 398 00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.920 out these wrong numbers. They don't really look at anything. They don't try 399 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.920 to analyze that. They just throw out the numbers and say, here, 400 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.119 here's what we have. Do with it what you will. So they're there. 401 00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:41.599 Don't make any predictions about what's going to happen next. And the numbers 402 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.920 do fluctuate somewhat, you know, especially when you get down toward so tax 403 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.440 has been number one for a while. Florida number two. The Carolinas are 404 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.039 a fairly newcomer to the top five or six. It's pretty there, Oh, 405 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:55.720 it is absolutely Carolinas. I mean, Idaho is nice too. It 406 00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:59.480 was number ten in twenty twenty two, up to number six last year. 407 00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.039 Washington State does pretty well. Okay, Well, the good news for us 408 00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:04.440 is that a lot of people are leaving California, so there's a little more 409 00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:07.200 elbow room. That's right, all right, Jim Ryan, thank you so 410 00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.720 much. Seamy. All right, let's get back to some of the stories 411 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.599 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Some parents and relatives of 412 00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:19.000 young people killed by fentanyl in southern California have been allowed to sue the parent 413 00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:22.720 company of Snapchats. A judge in LA ruled the group can sue Snap over 414 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:27.079 allegations the social media platform facilitated the sale of illegal drugs to minors. The 415 00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.519 company said it was immune from certain lawsuits because of a federal code, but 416 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.680 the judge said the group can still pursue other claims. Bill Bodner is the 417 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.720 former head of the DEEA in LA and says this case has the potential of 418 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.799 changing the way social media operates, the way social media companies do business, 419 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:47.319 how they do age verification, basically, how their artificial intelligence or algorithm work. 420 00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:51.359 The group represents more than sixty young people who died from a fentanyl overdose. 421 00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:56.079 Steve Gregory kf I News. A highly invasive pest is causing disease in 422 00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:00.559 citrus fruits across southern California. The California Department of Food and Agri Culture has 423 00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:06.200 issued a warning about HLB, a pathogen found mostly in a pest from Asia. 424 00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:08.440 It's also been reported in several states over the past twenty years. The 425 00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:14.599 CDFA says the most devastating disease of citrus in the world was first detected in 426 00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:20.039 California in twenty twelve. Officials say there are several quarantine areas in La Riverside, 427 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.319 Orange, Ventura, and San Diego counties where people are being asked to 428 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:29.599 avoid sharing homegrown fruit. The Justice Department is suing Texas over a new law 429 00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:32.640 that would allow police in the state to arrest migrants who come into the US 430 00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:37.480 illegally. The federal lawsuit claims only one entity, the federal government, can 431 00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:44.240 make and enforce immigration laws. Abc'sandyfield says the DOJ is asking the court to 432 00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:49.720 declare the new Texas immigration law unconstitutional. Lawmakers in Texas gave the state the 433 00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:53.839 power to arrest migrants because they said the FEDS were not doing their job protecting 434 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:58.359 the southern border. The law is set to go into effect in March. 435 00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:01.880 The former West Side Pavilion Mall is going to be turned into a UCLA research 436 00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:07.079 hub. UCLA Chancellor Gene Block says the mall will be home to a quantum 437 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.119 research center. The UCLA Research Park will also become the home of the UCLA's 438 00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:15.640 Center for Quantum Science and Engineering. The center brings together scholars and industry partners 439 00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:20.839 to advance one of the most important breakthrough technologies. Block says the seven hundred 440 00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:25.839 thousand square foot institute will solidify LA as the epicenter for scientific achievements. California 441 00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:29.960 is allocated two hundred million dollars for the hub. That's part of a five 442 00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:36.279 hundred million dollar investment to establish the Institute for Immunology m Immunotherapy. It's set 443 00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:39.799 to open in about three and a half years. Blustery winds are expected to 444 00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:46.279 continue blowing through southern California. Winter weather advisories have expired and have been replaced 445 00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:52.079 with wind advisories through early tomorrow for the Santa Clarita Valley, Malibu Coast, 446 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:57.559 Los Angeles County Beaches, Palace Verte Hills, Santa Monica Mountain, Recreational Area, 447 00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:01.279 Calabasas, Western San Fernandez, the San Gabriel Mountains, Catalina Island, 448 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:06.200 and the fourteen Freeway corridor. And I don't know about it your house, 449 00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:08.239 but last night at my place, I thought the roof was going to come 450 00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:13.679 off. The winds were howling. Venturrey County officials are looking for a group 451 00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:17.000 of burglary suspects who ran down a deputy. The deputy was hit by one 452 00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:22.280 of two vehicles involved in a burglary at a market in Casitas Springs. Investigators 453 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:28.719 say the driver hit the deputy intentionally. She was injured but has been treated 454 00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:32.280 and released from the hospital. Elvis is going to make his debut on the 455 00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:38.920 London stage thanks to AI. The British company Layered Reality says their new Elvis 456 00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:46.400 Evolution show will use artificial intelligence and groundbreaking technology to make a holog a holograph, 457 00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:52.880 recreating the what they call seismic impact of seeing Elvis live for a whole 458 00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:59.239 new generation of fans. We're just minutes away from handle on the news this 459 00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:04.599 morning, and the core documents have been released tied to Jeffrey Epstein. One 460 00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.639 hundred and fifty names if people associated with Epstein have been released, including those 461 00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:15.599 former presidents Trump and Clinton. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's 462 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:20.320 Tom Rivers. Tom, we have some new clues into what went wrong that 463 00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:24.079 may have led to that crash between the passenger jet and the Coastguard plane at 464 00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:30.960 one of the busiest airports in Japan. Yeah, it's interesting. One aspect 465 00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:37.119 that may have impacted this or not warning lights until pilots whether runway is clear 466 00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:43.559 or not. We're not working the day of the collision, but I guess 467 00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:46.480 was reported that they were not working. Going back to the twenty seventh of 468 00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:52.920 December, how do they go, how are they able to have that airport 469 00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:57.000 up and running if the lights aren't working? Well, then you have to 470 00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:59.480 rely, you know, you have to you have to have your headphones, 471 00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:04.079 you know, so tightened up because you have to listen to every little instruction 472 00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:07.719 from the control tower. So it's kind of a secondary, if you will, 473 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:12.280 warning thing. But yeah, you would think something that would be, 474 00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:15.519 you know, deemed to be pretty important that yes, they can, you 475 00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:19.039 know, break, but you get maintenance out there and get them fixed within 476 00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:22.599 the day, not as I say, in this case, at least five 477 00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:27.760 days down the road. That's just crazy. And as you mentioned, I'm 478 00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:32.320 sure that that's a redundant or a backup system. But the passenger jet that 479 00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:38.400 landed that hit the Coastguard plane said it had clearance to land. Yeah, 480 00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:42.320 exactly. And as part of two probes, one is police probe looking in 481 00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:46.760 the possible professional negligence. The other side of the coin is a transportation ministry 482 00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:53.519 They've been looking in depth at the transcripts and the communications between the recordings between 483 00:36:54.280 --> 00:37:00.639 the tower and the two planes. Now, according to them, they say 484 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:07.000 that the JLA three point fifty had been cleared to land okay, kind of 485 00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:12.559 a bog standard, you know, average, kind of if you will landing. 486 00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:20.039 They also say that they instructed the smaller DASH eight Coast Guard plane to 487 00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:25.239 move to a quote unquote stop line right before the runway. Now, it's 488 00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:32.280 interesting to note that NHK Television is reporting that the Coast Guard pilot who survived 489 00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.719 says that he was given permission to take off. So those are two very 490 00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:43.960 different takes on what might have happened. But again, they've got the information. 491 00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:46.280 They've got the two boxes from what remains of the Coast Guard plane, 492 00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:50.360 so we expect they're going to get to the bottom of this pretty darn quick. 493 00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:52.880 So you mentioned that they have the black box, and they also have 494 00:37:52.960 --> 00:38:00.440 the cockpit voice recorder right from Yes, certainly from the Coast Guard plane smaller 495 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:02.719 one. They have at least one box the latest I have one box. 496 00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:07.960 I'm not sure which one it is from JL. You know, we always 497 00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:12.840 hear, oh, they found the black box, but it seems like maybe 498 00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:15.480 the news cycle has just moved on. It doesn't seem like we hear what 499 00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:17.480 actually happened. Like they go Okay, we found it, so they know, 500 00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:22.719 but we never really hear exactly what happens, so it'll be interesting to 501 00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.199 see if we get more details. Yeah, it takes time. And again, 502 00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:30.079 you know, in the past, when it involves an airbus, generally, 503 00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.840 not always, but generally those boxes are sent off to Toulouse in France 504 00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:40.840 where the manufacturers are, and they go through them meticulously. That may or 505 00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:45.639 may not happen in this case, but certainly representatives from Airbus in France have 506 00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:52.280 flown to Japan to help in the investigation. You know, just hearing about 507 00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:55.679 this, it just makes me think of in the last year or so, 508 00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.000 all of the near misses that we've been here it back. Yeah, we 509 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:05.280 hear, and we hear about them more in the US. But here's one 510 00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:09.920 that came to pass where you know, the warning systems and the backup systems 511 00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:14.679 didn't prevent this, and the two planes literally clide it. I mean we've 512 00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:16.960 heard of planes like clipping wings and that kind of stuff, but not full 513 00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:22.320 on impact like this. Yeah. Oh, you're absolutely right. I mean 514 00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:25.760 he kind of takes your breath away thinking about it. Close calls very crowded 515 00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:31.559 skies becoming crowded again after the after the pandemic. But you're absolutely right, 516 00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:37.039 and you know, sometimes it's just sheer luck that if there is even a 517 00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:40.840 minor bump that you know, the fuel isn't set off, et cetera, 518 00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:46.880 et cetera. And in this case, catastrophic, catastrophic, and some amazing 519 00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:52.239 stories of the passengers getting off very very quickly, indeed, And yeah, 520 00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:57.440 thank your lucky stars. And like I say, very very good work by 521 00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:01.559 the crew on the JL plane. Absolutely, And you mentioned the surviving pilot 522 00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:07.119 from the Coast Guard plane. What kind of condition is he in? That's 523 00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:10.840 a good question. I don't know. But again he's been voted as saying 524 00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:17.639 that he was cleared to take off, so I assume that he's in a 525 00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:22.559 state at least to communicate at this stage. But yeah, I guess more 526 00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:24.440 will be coming forthcoming in the days on that, Okay, And let's hope 527 00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:30.639 they fix those warning lights, yeah, exactly, maybe fix them yesterday. 528 00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:36.719 But yeah, it's one of the anomalies in the story and something that I 529 00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:40.559 guess maybe there'll be recommendations coming out of this saying have backup systems, you 530 00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:45.159 know, in a hangar somewhere, so if something goes down, you turn 531 00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:49.719 it around and fix them, you know, Johnny on the spot within an 532 00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.880 hour or so. Yeah, And as tragic as it was, we're so 533 00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:57.280 lucky that it wasn't so much worse. ABC's Tom Rivers. You can follow 534 00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:00.599 Tom at Tom Rivers ABC. Thanks so much for your information. Appreciate it, 535 00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:05.559 Tay care Well, let's get back to some of the stories coming out 536 00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:08.039 of the KFI twenty four hour news room. Former President Bill Clinton is among 537 00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:14.760 the high profile names listed in newly unsealed court documents pertaining to sex offender Jeffrey 538 00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:20.280 Epstein. ABC's Andrew Dimbert says the documents include arguments by attorneys for an alleged 539 00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:24.480 victim of Epstein who wanted to depose Clinton, who's not accused of any wrongdoing, 540 00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:28.920 as part of her defamation suit. After Epstein's arrest in twenty nineteen, 541 00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:32.679 a Clinton spokesperson denied the former president knew about Epstein's crimes, denied Clinton was 542 00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:37.840 ever on Epstein's island, and said Clinton had not communicated with Epstein in more 543 00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:42.000 than a decade. Dimbert says, deposition from a witness who said she met 544 00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:46.039 Michael Jackson, a Jackson and magician David Copperfield during her time with Epstein, 545 00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:51.639 was also listed in the forty documents released. Epstein killed himself in jail while 546 00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:55.960 awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. One of the country's largest police units, 547 00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:00.599 Unions RATHER, says nearly three hundred and eighty PLIT police officers were shot in 548 00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:06.679 the line of duty last year. The Fraternal Order of Police released statistics Tuesday 549 00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:10.760 showing a fourteen percent increase from twenty twenty two to twenty three. Former Department 550 00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:16.400 of Homeland Security official John Cohen says the increase coincides with calls for violence against 551 00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:21.719 police. The overwhelming majority of this content is being posted on anti government on 552 00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:27.119 white supremacist forums, and this content isn't subtle. Cohen says. It includes 553 00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:31.320 a graphic video of shootings, stabbings, and other attacks on officers. Police 554 00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:35.679 are hunting for the person who's shot and killed in a mom outside of mosque 555 00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:38.119 in Newark. Officials say so far they haven't found any evidence the shooting was 556 00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:42.760 part of an anti Muslim bias. There are many in New Jersey right now 557 00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:46.719 who are feeling a heightened sense of fear or anxiety at the news of this 558 00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:53.840 slain. New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin says he's bringing all of the state's 559 00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:59.119 resources together to keep Muslims in the community safe. Platkins said yesterday police have 560 00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:02.199 stepped up out each to houses of worship in the area since the start of 561 00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:08.440 the Israel Hamas War. So it's just after the holidays, and for Disneyland, 562 00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:13.920 that means it's time to shut things down, not a lot, but 563 00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:16.920 some. So they do this every year, and if you're a Disney officionado 564 00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:22.239 and or you're planning on making a trip to Disneyland, just be aware that 565 00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:25.400 some of the rides and attractions are going to be closed down for a little 566 00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:29.960 bit. It's a small world is closing down, but only for a couple 567 00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:35.559 of weeks, starting this weekend. Grizzly River run over at California Adventure, 568 00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:39.039 which is one of my favorite summertime rides, is closing down. Now's a 569 00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:43.239 good time because it's colder and you get soaked on that ride a lot of 570 00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:45.639 times, so it makes sense to do its refurbishment during the winter. The 571 00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:51.360 sailing ship Columbia is closing down just for a little bit, and then the 572 00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:54.039 Mark Twain Riverboat is already down on the Rivers of America, and if you 573 00:43:54.119 --> 00:43:57.840 haven't been on those for a while, when you go and make your next 574 00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:00.199 trip to Disneyland once they reopen, they are really kind of fun. I 575 00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:04.199 mean, that's one of the great things I think about Disneyland is there's the 576 00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:07.519 thrill rides, but then there's also these really cool experiences, and so highly 577 00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:12.480 recommend that one. The astro Orbiter is closed. And also the World of 578 00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:16.440 Color Show over at California Adventure, which is the light show, is closing 579 00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:21.960 down for refurbishment pretty soon, and that's going to reopen, I think at 580 00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:23.480 the end of February, so just be aware. But there's still lots and 581 00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:27.119 lots of other rides and fun things to do. I think I better make 582 00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:30.480 a trip. I haven't been to Disneyland in twenty twenty four. It's time. 583 00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:36.760 This is KFI and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
