Don't know how your weekend was, but let 11 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.319 me just tell you, had so much fun. Had some friends in town 12 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.959 and we got to go see the Eagles, which I have never seen them, 13 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.480 and hearing from people in social media going, oh I saw them last 14 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:22.719 year. I saw them. Then theoretically it's their last tour, the long 15 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.640 goodbye, and we'll tell you a little bit more about it. I know 16 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.560 that I got to go on Saturday, producer, and got to go on 17 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.519 Friday, and we'll let you know too where you can still go see them. 18 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.200 They have some more shows, not at LA but oh my gosh, 19 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.079 it was great. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. The first voting 20 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:44.439 of the twenty twenty four election cycle gets underway later today with the Iowa caucuses. 21 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.079 Polls show former President Trump has a massive lead over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis 22 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:55.040 and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Hayley. We'll be checking in with ABC's Stephen 23 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.400 Portnoyd later in the show today. He's in the know and in Iowa. 24 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.840 Forward to talking to him. A man has been shot and an LAPD officer's 25 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.959 been injured in a car chase near downtown LA. Police say the man who 26 00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:10.439 led police on the chase yesterday morning got out of his car with a gun. 27 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.000 That's when the officer involved shooting happen. The officer was injured in a 28 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:21.520 crash during the chase. Some shaking in the Pacific preliminary magnitude four point five 29 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:25.039 earthquake has rumbled south of Catalina Island in the Pacific Ocean. The US Geological 30 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.039 Services the quake hit at two forty four this morning, sixty nine miles off 31 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.280 the coast of San Diego at six oh five. It's handle on the news. 32 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.360 Congressional leaders have done it again. They've kicked the can down the road 33 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.080 for another month or so. We'll be talking about that. Let's get started 34 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.199 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room 35 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.319 this Monday morning. A ban on indoor and outdoor wood burning is in effect 36 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.159 across much of southern California because of a forecast of high air pollution in the 37 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.759 area. The ban will be in effect until at least midnight in the South 38 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:04.159 Coast air base air basin, including non desert areas of La Riverside and San 39 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.840 Bernardino County, and all of Orange County. The order does not apply to 40 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.159 mountain communities above three thousand feet, the Coachella Valley or the high Desert. 41 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:16.400 A Navy helicopter that crashed in San Diego Bay has been recovered. The salvage 42 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:22.400 effort on Saturday lasted around ten hours. The damaged helicopter was taken to Naval 43 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:27.680 Base Coronado. All crew members survived the crash last week and have been released 44 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.199 from the hospital. AH good news there. More than a thousand people have 45 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:38.120 gathered in Fontana to protest school district policies they claim socially transitioned children without parental 46 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.199 consent. Protesters on Saturday accused the Fontana Unified School District and Planned Parenthood of 47 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:49.879 infringing on parental rights by referring to students by different names and genders without telling 48 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.520 parents about it or getting their approval. Planned Parenthood, by the way, 49 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.599 has sued the city for blocking the construction of a new clinic in Fontana, 50 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.919 claiming a violation of constitutional rights. Houthi rebels in Yemen have fired an anti 51 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:06.080 ship cruise missile toward an American destroyer in the Red Sea, but a US 52 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.719 fighter jet shot it down. The attack yesterday was the first since the US 53 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.759 and Allied nations started strikes on Houthi rebels. Abc'sg O'Brien says navy ships, 54 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:20.160 submarines and jet fighters have fired a barrage of missiles at Houthi military sites to 55 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:26.600 reduce their capability to attack ships. Thousands of protesters in Yemen condemnic the US 56 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.000 air strikes and Hoothi leaders promising the attacks on ships will continue in solidarity with 57 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:36.839 Hamas in its war against Israel. Huthi say they are avenging Israel's offensive in 58 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:43.279 Gaza. Federal offices are closed and service projects will be held throughout LA County 59 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.399 to Mark Martin Luther king Junior Day. There's also a mass at the Cathedral 60 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.439 of Our Lady of the Angels. The thirty ninth annual Kingdom Day Parade will 61 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.839 be held in Lamert Park. The theme of this year's three mile parade is 62 00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.959 Can't Stop, Won't Stop Going to the Promised Land. Marshall will be LA 63 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.240 County Supervisor Holly Mitchell. The parade starts at ten, It ends in Lamert 64 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:09.079 Park and there's a festival being held there to it. This afternoon. Well, 65 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.759 let's say good morning now to ABC's Tom River at five six this Monday 66 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.079 morning. Good morning Tom. So the US wasn't a one and done with 67 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:23.160 the airstrikes against the Hooties. What happened over the weekend? Yeah, it 68 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:28.000 looks like the US on its own this time, took out a radar station 69 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.360 on early morning of Saturday. And then there is kind of a wait and 70 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.680 see mode. Now the US and the UK are saying, look, we'll 71 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:42.160 see what the hooties do. According the language of the Prime Minister here in 72 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.079 the Defense Secretary of This was a one off, but they said the options 73 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.319 are there. If more vessels are targeted in the Red Sea, they could 74 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:57.360 revisit hitting various targets in Yemen again, so kind of in now weight, 75 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.480 wait and see what shakes out kind of mode. Yesterday there was a missile 76 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:06.680 strike from the Houties in the direction of a US destroyer. We don't know 77 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.759 if it was specifically targeted or heading in that direction, but the US took 78 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.040 it down. So yes, we probably have not seen the last of that 79 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:19.160 kind of action in that very very important part of the world. And the 80 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:26.240 Hooties are saying one after we hit them last week, they said they're going 81 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.920 to retaliate, But aren't we kind of retaliating against them because they've tried to 82 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:38.480 fire on positions friendly to the US maybe friendly to the US like thirty times. 83 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.759 Almost. Yeah, it's going to carry on, and you know, 84 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.680 the question is what is your exit strategy? And again you know there really 85 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.639 isn't one here. Well, we're going to engage them for how long would 86 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.360 you like to engage them? According to US figures, the US military says 87 00:06:55.399 --> 00:07:00.480 they took out about twenty five percent of the Hooty's ability to fire missiles into 88 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.079 the Red Sea. That leaves a big chunk, and you can guess that 89 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:09.240 the Houties will probably be using more of that weaponry certainly in the coming coming 90 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:15.959 weeks. Over the weekend there was a huge, huge demonstration of civilians and 91 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.759 support of UTI actions in Senna, the capital. There over a million people 92 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:29.240 out on the streets saying that they support the action of the rebel fighters. 93 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.040 So you know, fire is in their belly and we'll see what shakes out. 94 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.160 Like I say, in the coming days, there could very well be 95 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:42.360 more strikes on the western side if these attacks continue. Okay, And so 96 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.240 that you mentioned the big protests and all the support for the Houthi rebels. 97 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:53.360 Are the Houthies sort of in the same category as himasos. They considered it 98 00:07:53.399 --> 00:08:00.639 a terrorist organization or no and no more of a Sunny Si I break down 99 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.240 there. So they are the the UH the faction that if you will, 100 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.639 backed by Iran, and of course they've been engaged for over eight years with 101 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.600 disputes with Saudi Arabia, and of course you know the us IS and the 102 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.600 UK has been for that matter, have been saying, you know this is 103 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.720 really a proxy war because they keep saying, you know, the Iranian backed 104 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.079 hooties, and the Hooties are saying, you know, the US and the 105 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:33.519 UK backing the Saudis and the bombing campaign that's gone off for almost a decade. 106 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.600 So yes, choose your proxy side and the war lingers on there. 107 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.279 Okay. And then we've talked about how they've been firing on these ships in 108 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.919 the Red Sea. Have they actually hit any they hit? I think too. 109 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.919 They don't have a very good track record in that regard. And again 110 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.919 they're rationale. They're saying they're doing this in support of the Palestinians who are 111 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:05.159 being if you will, hit by Israeli forces in Gaza. What points out 112 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.120 by the Defense Secretary here in London. He said, you know, roughly 113 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:15.240 thirty vessels have been targeted directly or indirectly by missiles heading in their direction in 114 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.960 the Red Sea. Many of them have zero connection with Israel at all. 115 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.960 So it is really really catches catch can in that part of the world and 116 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:30.960 it is very very dangerous. Fifteen percent thereabouts of world trade at sea goes 117 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.240 through that very very important waterway. If you can't go through there, you 118 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.320 have to go through down through around the Cape in South Africa, and if 119 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.720 you want to go up to Europe, they'll tack on two more weeks on 120 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.120 your voyage. That's a lot more insurance, that's a lot more diesel fuel, 121 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.399 that's a lot more costs than the shelves and the stores here and eventually 122 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.639 shelves in North America too. So yes, it is having a global impact. 123 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:01.519 Yeah, and then do we know how much much of that traffic is 124 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.320 going around now, because it was coming out a lot last week that they're 125 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.559 like, we're not going through the Red Sea anymore. We're going to go 126 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.600 around, like you said, extra expense, extra time. But are there 127 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.039 ships still going through the Red Sea or is there everybody kind of bag? 128 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.480 Yeah, there are some going through the Red Sea. I wish I had 129 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.799 a percentage for you right now. Maybe I can look that one up later 130 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:26.399 today. But some are diverting, some are going through the Red Sea, 131 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.679 and what the breakdown is I don't have available right now. But yeah, 132 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.240 some are taking the safe route or the safer route and saying, yep, 133 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.759 we're gonna we're gonna spend more taken taking the scenic journey, and you know 134 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:45.279 your Yo Yo's will arrive in Liverpool two weeks later. Well, I will 135 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.039 tell you it is a scenic journey because one time I got to go to 136 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:54.679 the South tip of Africa and it's beautiful, absolutely, Okay, yeah, 137 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.960 yeah, But again I think probably the extra million dollars in the extra two 138 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.000 weeks and all the extra gas and all that probably makes it a little less 139 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:09.480 enjoyable than my trip there, exactly exactly. But yeah, you know there's 140 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.320 a real economic dimension to this. Yeah, and people are mindful of that, 141 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.480 and one way or another, it has to be sorted out, all 142 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.440 right, and we will be watching ABC's Tom Rivers. Thank you so much 143 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.159 for the information and the insight. We'll talk to you again soon. Take 144 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.240 care, all right, take care. Let's get back to some of the 145 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.559 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. Winter weather could impact 146 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.159 the outcome of the Republican caucuses in Iowa. Forecasters say today could be the 147 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.600 coldest Caucaus day on record, with temperatures below zero across much of the state. 148 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.360 The conditions may depressed turnout, there's no way to know or even predict, 149 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.519 since no one can remember a caucus night with temperatures this insanely low. 150 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.440 ABC's Stephen Portnoyce's former President, Trump is way ahead of his main rivals, 151 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.559 Nicky Haley and Ronda Santis.

Witnesses say they 157 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.440 saw a silver Kia SUV taking off from the scene. Other witnesses found the 158 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.559 car a few blocks away on Vermont Avenue. More than two dozen people in 159 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.080 La County have become sick from eating oysters. The health department says it's received 160 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.600 twenty seven cases of gastro intestinal illness linked to the consumption of raw oysters at 161 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.720 four different restaurants. The county's health officer, doctor Muntu Davis, says they're 162 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:45.159 working to locate the source of the infected shellfish. Davis says anyone who suspects 163 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.320 they got sick after eating raw oysters should contact the health department to file a 164 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.879 report. He also says kids, older adults, and the immunocompromised should avoid 165 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.080 eating raw oysters and other raw seafood. Steve Gregory KFI News a woman and 166 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.960 two children have trying to cross the Rio Grande River into the United States. 167 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.039 They were near Eagle Past, Texas, Friday night, where Texas National Guard 168 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:13.440 soldiers have prevented Federal Border Patrol agents from processing and rescuing migrants. Governor Greg 169 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:18.320 Abbott says the state is within its right. Texas has the legal authority to 170 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.320 control ingress and egress and to any geographic location in the state of Texas, 171 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.159 and that authority is being asserted with regard to that park and egal Pass. 172 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.639 Texas Texas officials have denied claims that National Guard soldiers did not allow Border Patrol 173 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:37.639 agents to try to rescue the migrants. Got in Lisa, a reboot of 174 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.200 a popular nineties movie, is taken over the number one spot at the box 175 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.120 office. So So Match Mean Girls opened with an estimated twenty eight million dollars 176 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:52.000 to finish its first weekend in theaters. The Beekeeper came in second with Wonka, 177 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.720 hanging on to third place. A wood burning ban is in effect for 178 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.000 most of southern California because of poor air quality in the forecast for the south 179 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:07.000 coast air by basin. Burning wood and manufactured fire logs off limits in all 180 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.000 of Orange County, plus the non desert areas of La Riverside, and San 181 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:18.559 Bernardino Counties. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby says the US has had intense 182 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.960 talks with Israel to lower the intensity of its attacks in Gaza. On face 183 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.799 the nation, Kirby said Israel has taken some steps to get there. Kirby 184 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.559 also said more trucks loaded with humanitarian aid are getting into Gaza each day. 185 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:33.440 We're going to check in with you're Dana Miller and talk more about this in 186 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:39.159 just one minute. The LA season, actually, the La Rams football season 187 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:45.200 is over after a one point loss in last night's wildcard playoff game in Detroit. 188 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.120 The Lions won it twenty four to twenty three after the Rams failed to 189 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.120 score on their final drive in the fourth quarter at six oh five. It's 190 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.360 handle on the news. If Nikki Hayley doesn't get the Republican nomination, who 191 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.879 are her supporters going to vote for you might be, so we'll tell you 192 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.159 about that. But right now, let's say good morning to ABC's geord Dana 193 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:11.080 Miller in Jerusalem. Geordana, Israel is one hundred days into its war with 194 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:15.759 Hamas and Prime Minister Nettaannah who says there is no stopping them. That's right, 195 00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:20.440 Israel's Prime minister saying that this war will go on for quote many more 196 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.720 months. He said that before, and he repeated it as the country hit 197 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:31.240 that one hundred days of war. He is determined, he says, to 198 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.799 reach the achieve the goals of this war, which is to push Hamas out 199 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:41.120 of the Gaza Strip and return the hostages. Behind the rhetoric, though, 200 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:48.720 we can see that Israel has already adjusted its battlefield after one hundred days devastating 201 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.240 destruction in the Gaza Strip and over twenty three thousand killed, what, of 202 00:15:54.279 --> 00:16:00.720 course, has also been a major concern for the White House, you know, 203 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:06.120 Jerusalem's most important ally. So the fighting already in the northern part of 204 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:11.320 the Gaza Strip has drastically been reduced. There are far fewer troops and tanks 205 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:18.200 there and major operations. Israel essentially holding northern Gaza and the fight now is 206 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:25.039 centered around Communis the last stronghold. That's where Israel believes that will need to 207 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:30.159 fight for several more months to dismantle Hamas, and that is where the one 208 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:37.120 hundred and thirty two hostages, including eight Americans are, you know, are 209 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:42.120 believed to be hiding down in the tunnels there. So this war not over, 210 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:45.559 not by any means, not yet, okay. And the tunnel system 211 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.720 initially when they went in and we were getting our early reports, was that 212 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:55.080 the majority of the tunnels were up in the north. But they found a 213 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:59.080 lot more tunnels than they expected to down in the southern part of the Gaza 214 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.839 strip, like han Unas, than they expected in that correct, That is 215 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:10.559 correct, Amy, I have to say every day here in Israel. The 216 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.880 experts who thought they knew, even intelligence guys right at the Joll's Mozade and 217 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.240 the Shabakh who thought they knew what was happening in the Gaza Strip, they 218 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:23.279 didn't even know half of it. Yeah, I mean when the soldiers get 219 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:29.000 down into the tunnels, when they go down sixty and eighty meters and they 220 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.359 they're on three different levels, and they connect a place near Rafa on the 221 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:40.839 south all the way up to the north, branching off into homes of known 222 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:48.519 top Hamas leaders under mosques. They contain weapon building factories in these tunnels. 223 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:55.480 Then the picture becomes clear that Israel vastly underestimated what Hamas was up to, 224 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.640 and in the sense, everything they find there also justifies the war. They 225 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:07.640 fear that they feel they need to fight to prevent Hamas from launching another attack. 226 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:12.400 Having said all that, the pressure is also rising here on Israel's Prime 227 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:18.480 minister to bring those hostages home, and there's new questions now after one hundred 228 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:29.759 days ken Israel both put Hamas under massive military pressure and bring the hostages home 229 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.480 or just one of those goals have to take the you know, the front 230 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:38.839 position and the other one go on the back burner because there's increasing fears that 231 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:45.640 if Israel continues its military operations in the South that those survived those hostages will 232 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.400 not survive. And of course, to play it on all of Israel's fears, 233 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:57.799 Hamas last night put out a video with three hostages essentially saying you know, 234 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:02.359 they were calling for the war to end, et cetera, et cetera. 235 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:04.559 On the one hand, a sign of life from those three hostages, 236 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:11.359 especially one young woman, Noah Argomani, whose mother's very ill. But on 237 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.519 the other hand, we don't know when that film was made, and it 238 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:23.480 carried a dire tagline that we'll find out how those hostages are today. Perhaps 239 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:29.279 appears to be some kind of threat preps on their lives. Yeah, and 240 00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:33.160 then I would think the other question that comes into play as they're weighing their 241 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.119 options and what do you do and like you said, how much do you 242 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:42.359 factor the hostages into your attacks on Hamas is how many of those hostages are 243 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.640 still alive, because we really don't know right well. Israel has announced that 244 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:56.319 about twenty five of the one hundred and thirty two our bodies, so that 245 00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:02.039 means that you know, there are still a little more than a hundred, 246 00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:06.960 but we don't know how many of those are alive. And I have to 247 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.319 say, very few people in Israel believe, for example, the BBus family, 248 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:17.079 that young toddler who's now about eleven months. His birthday's actually coming up 249 00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:22.920 on January eighteenth, so he's almost one year later this week, and his 250 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:29.720 four year old brother and his mother. Very few people believe they are actually 251 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:34.319 alive. Hamas has said already that they are not alive, and you know, 252 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:40.279 there hasn't been a sign of life in quite some time. So this 253 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:48.960 is extremely complicated, and Hamas is showing no real flexibility in the hostage release 254 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:55.119 slash cease fire negotiations. Hamaswanks an absolute end to the war before it will 255 00:20:55.160 --> 00:21:00.000 release any of the hostages, and that is simply not going to happen. 256 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.200 And given that Israel knows it still has a lot of work quote unquote to 257 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:10.119 do when it comes to Hamas's military capabilities, and of course the civilian population 258 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:15.000 of Gaza another huge not only you know, military, but more importantly a 259 00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:19.240 moral challenge for Israel. You have one twenty million people in southern Gaza. 260 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:25.000 You know, will Israel allow some of those almost a million to return to 261 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:29.839 the north. You know, are they going to make efforts to increase in 262 00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:34.200 boost humanitarian aid. It's likely Israel will open the Air's crossing that's been closed 263 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:40.119 since it was attacked on October seventh. It would be a direct passageway from 264 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:45.000 Israel to northern Gaza, which is part of the strip that is very inaccessible 265 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.079 and not a lot of aid is getting up there. So that would help 266 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:56.519 you know. These are all you know question marks we have going forward now 267 00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:59.839 that we've hit one hundred days, and we will continue to look to HUD 268 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.480 to help us find those answers. Thank you so much for the information today. 269 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:08.400 Thanks Seamy Tuktin. The first voting of the twenty twenty four election cycle 270 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:14.400 gets underway today with the Iowa Caucuses. Polls show former President Trump has a 271 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:21.720 commanding lead over former South Carolina Governor Nikki Hailey and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, 272 00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:26.519 and possibly affecting the voting and the caucuses today freezing cold temperatures. We're going 273 00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.400 to be talking to Stephen Portnoy in about ten minutes, who's in Iowa, 274 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:34.759 to get the latest there. Congressional leaders have come to an agreement a short 275 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:38.640 term funding bill to keep the government funded not through the year, just until 276 00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:44.599 March. The agreement comes ahead of the first funding deadline of January nineteenth. 277 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.119 Had a little shaking in the Pacific. A preliminary magnitude four point five earthquake 278 00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.599 is rumbled south of Catalina Island in the Pacific Ocean. The US Geological surveyces 279 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.720 the quake hit at two forty four this morning, sixty nine miles off the 280 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.119 coast of San Diego at six oh five, it's handle on the news. 281 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:06.119 Remember the principal who tried to protect some kids during the Perry, Iowa school 282 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:11.559 shooting. He has died, not happy at five point fifty. As I 283 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:14.000 mentioned, we're gonna be talking with Stephen Portnoy. He's on the ground, 284 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:17.559 or maybe I should say he's on the frozen tundra in Iowa. Because it 285 00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:21.079 is Caucus day. I want to tell you we went out and about this 286 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.519 weekend. And I didn't know this until this morning. Both Anne and I 287 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.640 went out and about. She went out on Friday night. I went on 288 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:33.279 Saturday night and we both went to the Kia Forum to go see the Eagles. 289 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:37.200 And can I just tell you this is I still think Paul McCartney's the 290 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.880 best show I've ever seen, but this is right up there. They were 291 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:48.079 spectacular, and I think that Anne said the same thing. I one hundred 292 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.039 percent agree. I absolutely loved every minute of it. Walked out of there 293 00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.759 going wow, Yeah, this is something I will remember for a long time. 294 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.519 Yeah. And we were sitting there yesterday. My friend Debbie in town 295 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.839 and she was just like that was so good, and she just like, 296 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:06.400 throughout the day we were out shopping and just goofing off, and she's like, 297 00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:08.000 that was just so good. It was so it was so great. 298 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:12.119 Here's why it was so great. One they came out and they started playing 299 00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:15.839 hits, and they played hit after hit after hit after hit, and just 300 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:21.279 kept doing it. I saw Bruce Springsteen a long long time ago, and 301 00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:25.440 he played for like two hours before I heard a song that I knew the 302 00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:29.920 worst. Yeah, it was absolutely the worst. Yeah, And this was 303 00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.599 the opposite. They just played the hit and and I loved what they said 304 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.680 too. I can't remember if it was if it was Don Henley who said 305 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.160 it, I think it was, but he said, we don't have any 306 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.279 inflatables, we don't have any fireworks, we don't have any butt wiggling and 307 00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:47.759 dancing. All we have is a bunch of guys with guitars playing music. 308 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:49.519 And that's what it was. And at one point there were seven of them 309 00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:55.599 across the stage, Vince Gill on one end, and was it Joe Walsher 310 00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:57.000 on the other end. No, it wasn't Joe Walsh. It was oh 311 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:02.440 gosh, he was on the other end. But it was spectacular. Yeah, 312 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:04.960 and they sounded good. Like sometimes you go see these bands that are 313 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.720 having their farewell tours that they've been performing forever and they just don't they don't 314 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.319 have the range anymore, and they just don't do what they did. But 315 00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:17.680 these guys were just good from start to finish. Yes. Yeah. And 316 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:21.119 then here's here's another thing that I thought was very, very impressive. I 317 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.680 didn't realize Vince Gill was with the band. And I love Vince skild because 318 00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:29.039 I'm a big country music person and he just fits in so great, and 319 00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:33.599 he's so talented and just brings, you know, just the Vince Gill to 320 00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.480 the show. And so that was that was great. And here's the thing 321 00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:38.039 that I tell me, if you think about this now, and you know 322 00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:41.920 the Fork reporter Neil Sevadra, of course I think Vince Gill looked a little 323 00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.680 bit like the Fork reporter. But here, oh yeah, a little bit. 324 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.880 Huh yeah. So go look at Vince Skill. Look at the Fork 325 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.279 reporter. Add some hair, yeah, and I think you got the guy 326 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.559 kind of got it. They both have a very lovely voice too. Can 327 00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:57.759 Nil sing? I don't know, We'll have to ask him. Yeah, 328 00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:03.279 come up from fifteen minutes exactly. Also then as you know, they lost 329 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:08.799 Glenn Fry and so Deacon Fry, Glenn Fry's son is now with the band, 330 00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:15.759 and that was really beautiful because man can he sing and he's adorable and 331 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.920 it was just it was fun because it felt like the Eagles again. It 332 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:23.319 felt like the whole band was there. And Kia Forum I want to mention 333 00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:26.880 too really quick if you guys haven't been to a show at the Kia Forum 334 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:30.640 lately, that is a fantastic venue. Like it is so nice, Like 335 00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.240 the seats are like I don't know, I was like, I feel like 336 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.680 I'm sitting in a nice airplane seat or something like comfortable seats. The concourses 337 00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:41.480 are beautiful. They have all kinds of different concessions and stuff. You can 338 00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:47.079 go outside onto the concourse and then you're inside. And the sound there was 339 00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.240 just so great and like Glenn uh not Glenn Fry, Don Henley had said 340 00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.200 that they could have done one show over at I think he called it the 341 00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:59.440 Spaceship, which he was referring to so FI, but he said, you 342 00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:02.160 know, this sound here is really great and we really wanted to work a 343 00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:04.920 little harder, and so they did four shows at the Forum instead, and 344 00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:11.079 I for one, am very thankful and also very thankful because Don Henley mentioned 345 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:12.559 during it, and I think he mentioned it during your show on Friday Night 346 00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:15.319 too, and he goes, yeah, tonight's show is brought to you by 347 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:19.079 Paxlovid, but the show has to go on. Don Henley has COVID and 348 00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:23.200 he's performing. I know, which was great. Sound you sounded great, 349 00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.079 But I thought there's a lot of old dudes up there. Is that a 350 00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:32.880 wise decision? Well? It was spectacular, And of course they've moved out, 351 00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.200 moved on from LA but they are, They're gonna They're in Palm Springs 352 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:41.400 tomorrow, They're in Phoenix. Let's see is that Friday on January nineteenth. 353 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.759 They're on Phoenix on the twentieth, and then they have several other other tour 354 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.119 dates up until March when they end in like Charlotte, North Carolina. But 355 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.359 if you want to take a little road trip or maybe take a little flight. 356 00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:55.480 And you haven't seen the Eagles yet, because I hadn't seen him. 357 00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:59.079 Had you seen the man? No? Yes, I haven't seen him before. 358 00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.640 I'm so glad that I got to and again Kia Forum was spectacular. 359 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:06.279 So if you get a chance, and if you miss the Eagles, I 360 00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:08.160 still say go to the Forum and see a different show because that was just 361 00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:12.960 a great venue. Okay, Now when we come back, we are going 362 00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:18.759 to be checking in with Stephen Portnoy because it is Caucus Day. Tomorrow, 363 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.680 the Clippers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder at Crypto dot com with your tip 364 00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:26.440 off at seven on your home of Clippers Basketball AM five to seventy LA Sports, 365 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.759 brought to you by your Southern California Toyota dealers. We make it easy. 366 00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:36.039 A wood burning ban is up for most of southern California because of poor 367 00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:41.839 air quality in the South coast airbasin. Burning wood and manufactured fire logs is 368 00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.759 off limits in all of Orange County, plus the non desert areas of La 369 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:52.200 Riverside and San Bernardino Counties until midnight. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby says 370 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.640 the US has had intense talks with Israel to lower the intensity of its attacks 371 00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:02.200 in Gaza. He says Israel has taken some steps to get there. Netanyahho 372 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:08.039 says there's no stopping Israel and they will eliminate Hamas Kirby also said trucks loaded 373 00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:12.759 with humanitarian aid r getting into Gaza each day. The thirty ninth Kingdom Day 374 00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:18.200 Parade steps off along MLK Junior Boulevard this morning at ten. The parade wraps 375 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:21.359 up with a festival in the Mert Park and a mass at the Cathedral of 376 00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:25.160 Our Ladies of the Angels. The theme of this year's parade is Can't Stop, 377 00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:29.880 Won't Stop Going to the Promised Land, and Disney's Princess Tiana from the 378 00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.960 Princess and the Frog will be the Honorary Grand Marshal. We're just minutes away 379 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:36.759 from Handle. On the news this morning, people on that Alaska Airline's flight 380 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:40.680 that lost a chunk of its fuselage are suing. Bill's gonna take a look 381 00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:44.839 at what they're suing for right now, though, let's say good morning and 382 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:52.200 Burr to ABC's Stephen Portnoy on the ground in Iowa for the Big Iowa Caucuses. 383 00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:57.039 Well, good morning, I can say, Burr. It's negative thirteen 384 00:29:57.079 --> 00:30:04.960 degrees here, So that's not thirteen degrees below freezing. That's thirteen degrees below 385 00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:14.440 zero, right, negative thirteen degrees fahrenheit, And so yeah, that's that's 386 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:19.000 forty five degrees below freezing. Yeah, that sounds right. Look, the 387 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:23.440 bottom line is we've never no one's ever seen an Iowa caucus that has been 388 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.319 held on a day that's this cold. I asked the Iowa GOP chairman, 389 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.279 was there any thought to maybe postponing or you know, candling tonight, and 390 00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.839 he said no, that it wouldn't be practical. And this is the date 391 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.359 that was selected, and so it's just going to move forward and people are 392 00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.720 just going to have to bundle up and take the precautions and head out. 393 00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:44.119 And look the islands. We've spoken with who intend to caucus, and I'd 394 00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.160 say they're happy to do it that you know, they was one man put 395 00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:51.720 it, I've got a big truck and a warm coat, so he's going 396 00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:56.480 to go out and caucus. But the high watermark for turnout in the Iowa 397 00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.960 caucuses on the Republican side was one hundred and eighty six thousand in twenty six 398 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.640 team and that was the competitive race between Donald Trump and his first entry international 399 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.880 politics against Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio and others. And it was a close 400 00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:12.880 race and Ted Cruz eked out a victory here over Donald Trump, who was 401 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:18.680 leading in the Iowa polls going in pockets tonight, Donald Trump has a formidable 402 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.920 twenty eight point lead over his nearest rival, Nicky Haley. The des Moines 403 00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:27.279 Register survey has Trump at forty eight percent, Nicky Haley at twenty percent, 404 00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:32.400 and then Ron de Santa's a few points back in third place. The enthusiasm 405 00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:37.160 for Trump and DeSantis is much greater than the enthusiasm for Haley, even though 406 00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:40.200 she's had sort of this late minute, last minute surge, if you will, 407 00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:44.480 She's come up and now she's placing second in the polls. But inasmuch 408 00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.240 as anything is true, this is Donald Trump's race to lose tonight. Because 409 00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:53.079 his lead is so wide, you have to imagine that you know, even 410 00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:57.039 half the Trump supporters who were going to cauc Us either couldn't get out because 411 00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:01.039 the roads yet haven't been paved, or simply too cold, and then somehow 412 00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:06.079 maybe there could be an upset. But I think everyone's expectation is a down 413 00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:10.039 trumple win. The only question is how why does the margin and knowing that 414 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.359 he does have a huge lead almost everywhere, although I saw a poll from 415 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:19.160 New Hampshire last week that it was only like seven or eight points, But 416 00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:22.640 in most places it's more than just doubled. It's more than ten, it's 417 00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:25.119 more than twenty, it's like thirty points at some point. But the Iowa 418 00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.240 caucuses aren't necessarily a precursor or a predictor of who's going to get the nomination. 419 00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:35.799 No, you're right. I mean ask President Cruz or President Tantorum or 420 00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:39.079 any of the other winners of the Iowa crocus. Tom one forgot about that. 421 00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:45.640 That's right back in twenty twelve. So these this is an important milestone, 422 00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:50.240 a mile marker, because it's where it all begins. But you're absolutely 423 00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:53.359 right, the most recent Iowa caucuses on the Republican side have not been predictive 424 00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:59.240 of the ultimate outcome. It's interesting because these races, and in terms of 425 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:04.000 horse race, play out in a narrative. So we're looking at how wide 426 00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:06.960 might the margin for Trump be if he is the victor. If there's a 427 00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:09.920 surprise upset, you know, it changes the dynamic entirely. But assuming Trump 428 00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:14.160 is the winner, how wide is the margin? Is he firmly ensconced in 429 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:19.400 the lead or is he potentially damaged we'll see excuse me. Then beyond that, 430 00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:22.480 the race for second place, which a lot of political observers pay attention 431 00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:25.319 to because it indicates that when it gets down to a two person race may 432 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:30.519 be Assuming it does, there's an opportunity for that person who's placing second to 433 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:37.680 overtake Donald Trump in New Hampshire, which votes a week from tomorrow. If 434 00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:40.599 Nikki Haley placed the second here, that should give her enormous juice going to 435 00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:45.079 New Hampshire. And remember her home state of South Carolina follows New Hampshire. 436 00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:52.000 But it's thought that Donald Trump is leading there too significantly. So what matters 437 00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:54.519 most in a race for delegates is who winds up with the most, and 438 00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:59.359 it's expected that Donald Trump will walk away with more delegates than anybody else here 439 00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:04.920 tonight. We'll see what storylines come out tomorrow morning. Is I know that 440 00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:08.239 Nikki Haley and Ron De Santas have been all over Iowa? Is Trump in 441 00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:14.159 Iowa too, or is he back in Florida. Trump has been in Iowa. 442 00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:15.719 He's in Iowa tonight. He was in Iowa here yesterday. He brought 443 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:19.840 hundreds of people out despite the cold and said that it's a pretty good indication 444 00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.599 to him that the weather's not going to have an impact. Okay, I 445 00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:24.400 guess we're going to have to wait and see, and they start, they 446 00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:30.400 start caucusing like at seven o'clock their time. That's correct, and so the 447 00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:35.199 results could be in living a few hours after that, okay, and we 448 00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:38.679 will be watching and hoping that you stay nice and warm, because you're not 449 00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:42.800 from Iowa, are you, Stevens. So this is probably extra cold, 450 00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:46.039 No, but spent several years in upstate New York where it's not quite this 451 00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:50.960 cold, but certainly snowy and snow here even than here. Well, we're 452 00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:52.960 big babies here in California, and I tell you, it was like sixty 453 00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:55.639 degrees and I was going all weekend. Oh it's cold. I think we 454 00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:00.400 would all just collapse if we were in Iowa. It rains, I know, 455 00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.719 right. All right, Steven Porton, I thank you so much for 456 00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:07.119 your time and information. We'll be talking to you again soon. Yea. 457 00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:09.119 All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 458 00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:15.559 KFI twenty four hour newsdream. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will continue 459 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.679 its war against Tomas until victory and will not be stopped by anyone. ABC's 460 00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:23.960 Patrick Revel says. The Prime Minister also says the border between Egypt and Gaza 461 00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:29.079 must be closed to keep weapons from getting in. But despite the devastation, 462 00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:32.800 Israel is still far from achieving its goals of defeating a mass or freeing hostages. 463 00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.440 Most Israeli official signal that the fighting is going to go on for months 464 00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:42.199 more. This weekend marks one hundred days since the war against Tamas began. 465 00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:46.119 An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude four point five has been reported south of Catalina 466 00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:50.719 Island in the Pacific Ocean. The US Geological Service says the quake this morning 467 00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:53.719 was centered about sixty one miles south of Avalon thirteen miles deep. It was 468 00:35:53.760 --> 00:36:00.760 sixty nine miles off the coast of San Diego. The so called Doomsday clock 469 00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:06.360 is set to get its annual update. It's a hypothetical clock that measures how 470 00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:12.000 close civilization is to ending. It's kept by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. 471 00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:15.199 The clock was updated a year ago to ninety seconds to midnight. The 472 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:19.480 next update is coming a week from tomorrow. I always hate those. The 473 00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:24.000 seventy fifth annual Emmy Awards will feature more than stars from today's TV shows, 474 00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:30.519 but also cast reunions and recreations of classic moments from a dozen iconic shows throughout 475 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:35.199 TV history. Executive producer of the Awards Show, Jesse Collins says to watch 476 00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:38.559 for the casts and vignettes from All in the Family, Cheers Martin, The 477 00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:43.519 Sopranos, Game of Thrones, and even Gray's Anatomy.
