00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And glad that

18
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 1>you are getting your days started with us. Hope you

19
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>had a good weekend. I had a very chill weekend,

20
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>but it was a lot of fun yesterday. You know,

21
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>what do you do when you leave work? You come

22
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>back to work, But it was for a lot of fun.

23
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Dean Sharp had his annual home holiday show at the

24
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.879
<v Speaker 1>KFI Performance Lounge upstairs, and I don't know it was

25
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.040
<v Speaker 1>about it. Probably about one hundred people came out for it.

26
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 1>It was really fun, really fun, and good way to

27
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.319
<v Speaker 1>kick off the holiday season. Even though I technically broke

28
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 1>my law about holidays because like I can't do one

29
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 1>holiday until the last, you know, until one is gone.

30
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 1>So like we haven't had Thanksgiving yet, so I'm really

31
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to do Christmasy stuff. But I broke the rule.

32
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 1>I dressed in holiday gear and came down to hang

33
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>out with the Dean and a bunch of home listeners.

34
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>A lot of fun. But it's a free for all

35
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 1>starting on Friday. Christmas is going up. We're all over it.

36
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I might even get a tree this weekend. Seems like

37
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 1>it's time because it's so late in the late in

38
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.039
<v Speaker 1>the month this year for Thanksgiving. Here's what's ahead on

39
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Wake Up Call. Got a lot going on today. Lyle

40
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 1>and Eric Menendez are expected to appear in court in

41
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Van Nuy's virtually as their lawyer asks a judge to

42
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 1>re sentence the brothers who killed their parents in their

43
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 1>home at Beverly Hills in nineteen eighty nine. Getting to

44
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving dinner could be a bit challenging as forecasters warn

45
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>of another round of winter weather in California. Winter storm

46
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>warning is in effect for the Sierra Nevada through tomorrow,

47
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 1>with heavy snow expected in higher elevations. In Seattle, thousands

48
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 1>are still without power from the last bomb cyclone storm

49
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that hit the West Coast last week. The original host

50
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of the Wheel of Fortune has died. Chuck Woolery hosted

51
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 1>the game show from nineteen seventy five to eighty one,

52
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and then went on to host several other popular game shows,

53
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>including Scrabble and Love Connection. Remember that we'll be back

54
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>in two and two. Chuck Wiillery was eighty three. President

55
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>elect Trump has filled out his cabinet, or at least

56
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>nominated everyone he wants to serve in the cabinet. ABC's

57
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Karen Travers is going to have the newest nominees. And

58
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 1>what's next that's coming up in just a couple of minutes.

59
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Why mom and pop shops need your support. This Small

60
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Business Saturday, more than ever, we're going to be talking

61
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 1>with the CMO, the chief marketing off chief marketing officer

62
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>of Constant Contact, who's going to give us a little report,

63
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>a report card on how small businesses are doing. That's

64
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 1>coming up at the bottom of the hour. Every once

65
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>in a while, a commercial gets to you and okay,

66
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 1>I got suckered in this one. Did it for me?

67
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.319
<v Speaker 1>And then I felt kind of stupid because it's actually

68
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 1>an ad but it's a good one and I'll share

69
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>that with you before the bottom of the hour. Also,

70
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving a time of food and family and fun and

71
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 1>this year potential some pretty nasty family fights. We're gonna

72
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>be talking turkey and how not to get your feathers

73
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 1>ruffled with ABC's Jim Ryan. That's coming up before the

74
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>top of the hour. Let's get started with some of

75
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

76
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Lyle and Eric Menendez have a date in court in

77
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 1>their effort to try to get their sentences lowered. Legal

78
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.399
<v Speaker 1>expert Brian Buckmeyer says the hearing in Van Eys today

79
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 1>involves the brother's claim of new evidence, arguing they should

80
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>get a new trial or get their previous sentences reduced

81
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 1>or thrown out.

82
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 5>So significance of this hearing, which is typically a very

83
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 5>mundane one, is that the Menendez brothers will appear virtually

84
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 5>and they could be asked questions or answer any type

85
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.600
<v Speaker 5>of information that the judge asks of them.

86
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 1>The court will hold a lottery to determine which sixteen

87
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 1>members of the public will get a seat in the courtroom.

88
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>The father of a woman from Maui reported missing in

89
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>La has been found dead near Lax.

90
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 6>Ryan Kobayashi had recently traveled to La too helped search

91
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 6>for his missing daughter, and has not been seen since

92
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.480
<v Speaker 6>November eighth, when she apparently missed her connecting flight at

93
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 6>Lax as she traveled from Hawaii to New York City.

94
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 1>Kay if I Stammy Trujillo says the family claims Ryan

95
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Kobayashi killed himself yesterday by jumping from a parking garage.

96
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Hannah Kobayashi was last seen on November eleventh near the

97
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Pico Metro station in downtown La. More ballots are being

98
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 1>counted today as election officials get closer to declaring a

99
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.759
<v Speaker 1>winner of the forty fifth Congressional district race. Democratic challenger

100
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.079
<v Speaker 1>Derek Tran has a five hundred and forty five vote

101
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>lead over Republican incumbent Michelle Steele. Tran is leading in

102
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the smaller La County portion of the district. Steele has

103
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>a slight lead in the larger Orange County portion. More

104
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>than three hundred and fourteen thousand ballots have been counted.

105
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.199
<v Speaker 1>It's still not clear exactly how many ballots still have

106
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 1>to be counted. Let's say good morning now to ABC's

107
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Karen Travers at five oh eight on your Monday morning

108
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 1>wake up call, Karen, President elect Trump has been a

109
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>busy little beaver. Are some of his newer nominations.

110
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think the big overall headline here is that

111
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 7>with this flurry of activity Friday night and then into Saturday,

112
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 7>the President elect has now named nominees for all of

113
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 7>the fifteen agencies that make.

114
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Up the cabinet, so he is basically done. There are

115
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.360
<v Speaker 2>still some positions left that could be elevated to cabinet level,

116
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 2>like the Small Business Administration, but for the big, big agencies,

117
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the one that you think about as the government agencies

118
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 2>that make up the cabinet, they're finished for at least

119
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 2>his picks. And now the next phase is the meeting

120
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:38.360
<v Speaker 2>with Senators for these nominees and then eventually confirmation hearings

121
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>at the Senate, but that won't take place until Republicans

122
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 2>control the Senate in early January. So it's a much

123
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.480
<v Speaker 2>faster timeline by the President elect than what we saw

124
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.399
<v Speaker 2>eight years ago when he was first elected, and even

125
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.639
<v Speaker 2>faster than what we saw from President Elect Joe Biden

126
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 2>four years ago, and I think it indicates he knew

127
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.519
<v Speaker 2>the types of people he wanted for these positions. He

128
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.720
<v Speaker 2>had shortlists ready to go, his team was paired so

129
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>he could make these moves quickly. Over the weekend, we

130
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.639
<v Speaker 2>saw him pick longtime allied Brook Rollins to be the

131
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Agriculture Secretary. Friday night, he announced billionaire Wall Street veteran

132
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Scott Besson, who's an economic advisor and fundraiser, for him

133
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 2>to be the Treasury Secretary. Besson's an interesting choice because

134
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.800
<v Speaker 2>he had been spent years working for George Soros, Democratic

135
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.879
<v Speaker 2>mega donor, and he himself had been a Democratic donor

136
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 2>decades ago. But this was a big battle for the

137
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>position at the Treasury Department, with several others in the

138
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Trump world competing for that position, but ultimately it went

139
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>to Bessend. And then one more just notable one was

140
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.319
<v Speaker 2>Oregon Congressman Lurid Chavez Dreimer, who has picked to lead

141
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.759
<v Speaker 2>the Labor Department. She's somebody that's actually getting significant support

142
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.759
<v Speaker 2>for that position from labor unions because she had supported

143
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 2>legislation to make it easier for workers to unionize.

144
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Which and we know that Trump's not super pro union necessarily,

145
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 1>but he's pro worker, so maybe that, yeah, maybe that

146
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.199
<v Speaker 1>could be a good choice. Is there are there any

147
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:01.839
<v Speaker 1>new controversial picks?

148
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, for there's a couple of big health announcements.

149
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 2>He picked former Florida Congressman Dave Weldon to lead the

150
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC. Weldon had been

151
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 2>has been skeptical of vaccine research and obviously that's an

152
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.680
<v Speaker 2>important part of what the CDC's portfolio is. To lead

153
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 2>the FDA, he had picked doctor Marty mcarey, a surgeon

154
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>and somebody who is a regular on Fox News, clearly

155
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 2>where Trump first saw him, and McCarey had argued against

156
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.399
<v Speaker 2>pandemic lockdowns back during the COVID pandemic.

157
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 8>You know.

158
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Notable too, I think that, and you know it's been

159
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.360
<v Speaker 2>written about, is that this is not a very racially

160
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 2>diverse group. Of the dozens of nominees and appointees that

161
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 2>have been named so far, only one is black, and

162
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>that's the president Alex pick to lead the Department of

163
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Housing in Urban Development, Scott Turner. He's a former NFL

164
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.960
<v Speaker 2>player and now a conservative commentator.

165
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.399
<v Speaker 1>And how many women did he nominate? I mean I

166
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know the number of out my head half, but

167
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:01.879
<v Speaker 1>it's a there's several.

168
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I'd have to count it for you.

169
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, Karen Travis, thank you so much. Appreciate

170
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>the information. As always, Let's get back to some of

171
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 1>the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

172
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Health officials in California warning the public to avoid a

173
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>specific raw milk product out of Fresno County because the

174
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 1>bird flu virus has been found in a sample. The

175
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Department of Public Health says the raw milk is from

176
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the raw Farm company. It's recalled the affected milk, which

177
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>has a best by date of eleven twenty seven, twenty

178
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty four. No illnesses have been reported, but the department

179
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>has told store owners to take the milk off the shelves.

180
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Raw milk products are not pasteurized, which is that heating

181
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:44.559
<v Speaker 1>process that kills bacteria and viruses like bird flu. A

182
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>major producer of organic carrots in California is hoping to

183
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 1>reassure consumers about the safety of their product after they

184
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>were linked to an E. Coli outbreak. ABC's Melissa Aiden

185
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.639
<v Speaker 1>says grim Way Farms, a supployer to Trader Joe's, Wegmans

186
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:02.360
<v Speaker 1>and Kroger a voluntary recall of its carrots.

187
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 9>The company's president and CEO speaking directly to shoppers, saying

188
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.799
<v Speaker 9>consumers should feel confident that the carrots available for purchase

189
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.200
<v Speaker 9>on store shelves today are safe.

190
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.279
<v Speaker 1>One person died and thirty nine others in more than

191
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.200
<v Speaker 1>a dozen states have gotten sick from eating the carrots.

192
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 1>Two people in a car that's rammed through the gate

193
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of Orange County Fire Authority headquarters in Irvine have been

194
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>arrested on suspicion of dui. Police say the two ran

195
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>after the crash late Saturday, but they were found a

196
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>short time later and arrested. The crash only damaged the

197
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.639
<v Speaker 1>gate and some landscaping. A DHL cargo plane has crashed

198
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.879
<v Speaker 1>in Lithuania's capital and skidded into a nearby house, killing

199
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 1>a Spanish crew member. The cause of the crash early

200
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>this morning is being investigated. Flight tracking data analyzed by

201
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.759
<v Speaker 1>the Associated Press showed the plane made a turn to

202
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.879
<v Speaker 1>the north of the airport, lined up for landing, then

203
00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:00.240
<v Speaker 1>crashed less than a mile short of the runway. A

204
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 1>recent survey on career readiness found that eighty one percent

205
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>of workplace managers say new college graduates are not ready

206
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.399
<v Speaker 1>for the workplace. KFI Scott Carr says a survey of

207
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>a thousand managers show many new grads need training on

208
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:16.759
<v Speaker 1>professional protocols.

209
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.799
<v Speaker 10>The issues they cite include not taking constructive criticism well,

210
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 10>adhering to dress codes, the use of cell phones on

211
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 10>the job, and speaking about controversial topics in the workplace.

212
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Some other issues were time management and a lack of

213
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:36.960
<v Speaker 1>professional communication skills. So the holidays are here at the

214
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Disneyland Resort and KFI wants to give you the chance

00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 1>You know about my ban on holidays until the last

217
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.679
<v Speaker 1>holiday is done. I also make an exception for Disneyland.

225
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 1>keep your phones and your radios close. The father of

226
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a woman from Hawaii who's been missing since she didn't

227
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>show up for her connecting flight at lax has died.

228
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Kobayashi apparently jumped from a parking structure near lax

229
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:31.759
<v Speaker 1>early yesterday morning. Hannah Kobayashi had a stopover at Laxo

230
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 1>November eighth on her way to New York. She was

231
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:38.799
<v Speaker 1>last seen in downtown La November eleventh. Hesblah has fired

232
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>about two hundred and fifty rockets and other projectiles into Israel.

233
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.720
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the heaviest barrages in months. At least

234
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 1>seven people in northern and central Israel will hurt the

235
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.639
<v Speaker 1>attack in response to Israel's attack in central Bay Root.

236
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:51.559
<v Speaker 1>Over the weekend, We're going to get the latest on

237
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.399
<v Speaker 1>the attacks and whether that's gonna mess with the ceasefire

238
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>talks with Jordana Miller in just a second. The Glicked

239
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.720
<v Speaker 1>weekend has been huge. Wicked and Gladiator two have earned

240
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 1>a combined two hundred and seventy three million dollars at

241
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the box office globally. Wicked took in one hundred and

242
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 1>seventeen million in the US alone. Gladiator took in a

243
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.279
<v Speaker 1>Gladiator two took in over fifty five million, and this

244
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:16.840
<v Speaker 1>coming weekend expected to be a big one too, because

245
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Mwana two debuts on Wednesday. Let's say good morning now

246
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to ABC's Giordana Miller in Jerusalem. So, Geordana Hesbela was

247
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>very active and destructive over the weekend.

248
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:35.200
<v Speaker 11>What happened, that's right, and Hesballa fired by midnight the

249
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:40.480
<v Speaker 11>number was closer to three hundred on drones and missiles,

250
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.559
<v Speaker 11>and by the way, three waves of attacks just on

251
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:47.320
<v Speaker 11>Tel Aviv and central Israel, which was a lot. Usually

252
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 11>the fire they haven't fired that intensively on Tel Aviv

253
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:55.679
<v Speaker 11>and in many months. It was clearly a response to

254
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.639
<v Speaker 11>what happened over the weekend. Israel carried out very intense strikes,

255
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.000
<v Speaker 11>not only in southern Route in the Hasbalas stronghold of Dahia,

256
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.159
<v Speaker 11>but also in central Beyroute is going after one of

257
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 11>the few Hamas leaders that are still alive, and they

258
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.000
<v Speaker 11>missed him, but they brought down the building and killed

259
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.799
<v Speaker 11>dozens of others, and so there was a lot of

260
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:22.200
<v Speaker 11>anger over those strikes. Plus there's still intense air strikes.

261
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:23.480
<v Speaker 12>And up in southern.

262
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 11>Ground forces. So it was a bloody weekend. But I

263
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.960
<v Speaker 11>have to say it's all happening. It could actually all

264
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.840
<v Speaker 11>be connected to this East fire talks. That is, before

265
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.080
<v Speaker 11>the sides agree to stop, there's often a kind of

266
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.159
<v Speaker 11>ramping up of the attacks as each side tries to

267
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:47.639
<v Speaker 11>pressure the other at the table. We're still strong, we

268
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:51.080
<v Speaker 11>still have capabilities. If you don't sign, look what we're doing.

269
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.039
<v Speaker 11>And to tell their domestic audiences, we're signing, you know,

270
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.960
<v Speaker 11>from a position of strength. And it's also an opportunity

271
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:06.080
<v Speaker 11>for both sides opportunity hit their targets hard before they

272
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.440
<v Speaker 11>have to stop fighting. And there has been progress towards

273
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.879
<v Speaker 11>the ceasefire. I think we're still you know, a couple

274
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.879
<v Speaker 11>of weeks away, but the intensifying attacks could be part of.

275
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.759
<v Speaker 1>That, okay, And what all is involved with the seaspire

276
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>aside from just stopping the attacks on each other? Do

277
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>we know where is that it?

278
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:29.240
<v Speaker 11>We are beginning to learn some of the details of

279
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:34.440
<v Speaker 11>this agreement. For example, what has been agreed on is

280
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:39.720
<v Speaker 11>that Hasbola, the Iranian backed militia, will move over twenty

281
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.919
<v Speaker 11>miles off of Israel's northern border, behind what's called or

282
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 11>above north of what's called the Latani River. That's where

283
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 11>they were supposed to be and stay after the last

284
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.279
<v Speaker 11>war between Israel and Husbala in two thousand and six.

285
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.679
<v Speaker 11>We're also learning that the Israelis are not going to

286
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:04.440
<v Speaker 11>hold any security They're going to completely withdraw their troops

287
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.919
<v Speaker 11>in this seafire, though it may take thirty to sixty

288
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.559
<v Speaker 11>days for that to happen, but there's no plan to

289
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:12.720
<v Speaker 11>hold any Lebanese soil.

290
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Number back in, Yeah, you would cut out just a second.

291
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:18.399
<v Speaker 1>So you're saying that part of the seasire deal is

292
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>that Israel would pull its troops out of Lebanon where

293
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:23.840
<v Speaker 1>out of Okay.

294
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:28.200
<v Speaker 11>That's right. They will not hold any kind of security buffer.

295
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:30.639
<v Speaker 11>They will not stay on Lebanese soil.

296
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Right.

297
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.320
<v Speaker 11>What is still in dispute is how to verify and

298
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 11>implement the deal. Who's going to be in charge of

299
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.240
<v Speaker 11>making sure Hsbala doesn't violate the deal? Right? The UN

300
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.159
<v Speaker 11>and the Lebanese Army and the government didn't do such

301
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.000
<v Speaker 11>a great job over the last twenty years.

302
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 6>The new.

303
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:54.480
<v Speaker 11>Part of verifying this deal with some AIRB partners and

304
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.960
<v Speaker 11>even Europeans like the French. So those details are still

305
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:00.519
<v Speaker 11>being worked out, but there has been progress. I think

306
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:04.200
<v Speaker 11>we're weeks away from a seafire.

307
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Okay, And unlike what's going on between Israel and Hamas,

308
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 1>where both sides seem to have really just dug in

309
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.400
<v Speaker 1>their heels on this is we're seeing more of a

310
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:16.680
<v Speaker 1>willingness to come to a ceasfire.

311
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:23.599
<v Speaker 11>Absolutely. I think both Lebanon, has Balah Iran, you know,

312
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:27.240
<v Speaker 11>they're interested in the seafire because they realize that the

313
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:29.960
<v Speaker 11>next level of targets are not just going to be

314
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:34.200
<v Speaker 11>has Balla targets. They may be they may be civilian.

315
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:40.240
<v Speaker 11>The infrastructure targets right hitting Lebanese you know, let's say

316
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.680
<v Speaker 11>power grids or energy reserves, something that will force the

317
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.920
<v Speaker 11>Lebanese to really get Hasbala to stop its fire. So

318
00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:53.319
<v Speaker 11>there is and Iran. You know, Iran has taken its

319
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.599
<v Speaker 11>threats of striking Israel off the table. They're waiting until

320
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.839
<v Speaker 11>President Trump gets into office, That's what it looks like.

321
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.880
<v Speaker 11>So they're also interested in nscu's fire. And Israel. You know,

322
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.799
<v Speaker 11>Israel doesn't you know, Israel can't you know, fight a

323
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.319
<v Speaker 11>two front war, you know, for another full year. Right,

324
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.799
<v Speaker 11>Israel also needs to pull their troops out they've been

325
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.759
<v Speaker 11>fighting intensely for a year. It's taken a toll on

326
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.160
<v Speaker 11>the economy, and it has obviously a lot of diplomatic

327
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:27.720
<v Speaker 11>hitfall and the fighting, which I think is a good sign.

328
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:29.839
<v Speaker 11>And maybe it'll lead to a breakthrough on the Gaza

329
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:31.119
<v Speaker 11>front as well.

330
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:34.279
<v Speaker 1>That would be tremendous, And who knows, maybe in time

331
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:38.680
<v Speaker 1>for Christmas, ABC's Jerdona Millisonica or for Hanukah more yes,

332
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.880
<v Speaker 1>more appropriately for Hankah there. Thank you so much for

333
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the information. As always, we'll talk to you again.

334
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:45.039
<v Speaker 12>Soon, Talk soon.

335
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:45.440
<v Speaker 3>YEP.

336
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Firefighters are battling a fire in a vacant two story

337
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:54.240
<v Speaker 1>commercial building. Flames have been shooting through the roof on

338
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:59.880
<v Speaker 1>South Flower Street, downtown, LA. Fires Margaret Stewart says Cruise

339
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>are on scene and actively fighting it. Travel experts say

340
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.839
<v Speaker 1>the best time to drive over the Thanksgiving holiday will

341
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 1>be on Thanksgiving Day itself. Adrian Woodland with Triple A

342
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:15.079
<v Speaker 1>says people flying should check in early online, monitor flight status,

343
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:17.119
<v Speaker 1>and get to the airport at least two to three

344
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>hours before your flight.

345
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.880
<v Speaker 7>And it's going to be very busy out there, Busy airports,

346
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:23.960
<v Speaker 7>busy roadway.

347
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:27.079
<v Speaker 1>So if you are planning to travel, definitely Prepare Triple

348
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:29.920
<v Speaker 1>A says nearly seven million people from California are expected

349
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 1>to hit the road to visit family this holiday. It

350
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.559
<v Speaker 1>might not just be mother Nature that could put a

351
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.640
<v Speaker 1>damper on holiday travel. The FAA says air traffic could

352
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 1>be slowed during peak travel times because of staffing issues.

353
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:46.839
<v Speaker 1>The area that could be most affected is the Northeast,

354
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:49.720
<v Speaker 1>especially in New York, because of a shortage of air

355
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:53.400
<v Speaker 1>traffic controllers in that area. Tuesday tomorrow, expected to be

356
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.359
<v Speaker 1>the busiest travel day, with almost three million travelers going

357
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:01.960
<v Speaker 1>through TSA security checkpoints. Weather Services Southern California could get

358
00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:03.720
<v Speaker 1>some rain early this week, but it's not gonna be

359
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot. The agency says most of the rain will

360
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 1>probably come tomorrow. Meteorologist Casey Oswant says any rain we

361
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:12.720
<v Speaker 1>get will likely be less than half an inch.

362
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:17.400
<v Speaker 12>It does look like we're going to see additional chances

363
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.960
<v Speaker 12>of rain for maybe part of Monday and then continuing

364
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:24.920
<v Speaker 12>into Tuesday and Wednesday.

365
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:27.640
<v Speaker 1>She says there's about a twenty percent chance of showers

366
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.960
<v Speaker 1>this afternoon in La County, but we should be dry

367
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:35.200
<v Speaker 1>for Thanksgiving. Okay. There are commercials that come out every

368
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:38.200
<v Speaker 1>holiday season and they try to kind of tug at

369
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:42.880
<v Speaker 1>your heart strings. And this one got me and so

370
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna play it for you. Whoops, I'm not

371
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:47.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna play that for you. I'm gonna play this for you.

372
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.400
<v Speaker 1>So they show us a theater in New York City.

373
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:07.519
<v Speaker 5>But the world's no slow sweet glove steel that is

374
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:08.519
<v Speaker 5>to us.

375
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:10.000
<v Speaker 7>To the law.

376
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:13.680
<v Speaker 1>So that's the janitor and he's going around and he's

377
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:18.559
<v Speaker 1>cleaning the theater. So it's obviously late at night and

378
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.119
<v Speaker 1>it's very quiet, and then some of the staff gets

379
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.519
<v Speaker 1>together and they're they're like going, Oh, there's the guy,

380
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.079
<v Speaker 1>and isn't he sweet? And unlook he sings as he

381
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:33.160
<v Speaker 1>does his work, and so then you see one of

382
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>the people look online and they find like a jacket,

383
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.119
<v Speaker 1>like a dinner jacket or a and they're like, oh,

384
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:43.200
<v Speaker 1>let's get that for him. So they order it and

385
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.160
<v Speaker 1>then they put the lights together and they put him

386
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:49.160
<v Speaker 1>up on stage and here he goes.

387
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 7>He's slow, sweet, fast, all.

388
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:20.680
<v Speaker 1>That so sweet, and then you see the Amazon smile.

389
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it's an Amazon commercial, which I felt like, oh jeez,

390
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.039
<v Speaker 1>but it was. I guess it's sort of like there

391
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:31.160
<v Speaker 1>have been a couple like Budweiser commercials that are just

392
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:33.839
<v Speaker 1>so beautiful. They don't say anything, they just they're just

393
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.359
<v Speaker 1>visually beautiful, and they sound wonderful, wonderful, And I think

394
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:40.759
<v Speaker 1>that's that song is so powerful and it was really

395
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>just a sweet commercial. Is it gonna make me order

396
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:46.640
<v Speaker 1>from Amazon? I did over the weekend, so maybe it worked.

397
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.720
<v Speaker 1>A judge in New York has decided he's not quite

398
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.640
<v Speaker 1>ready to decide whether to grant bail to rap mogul

399
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Sean Combs. In a hearing Friday, the judge overseeing the

400
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:58.039
<v Speaker 1>sex racketeer in case said he would take the Thanksgiving

401
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:01.839
<v Speaker 1>holiday to make his decision. Combs has pleaded not guilty

402
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:04.359
<v Speaker 1>to all charges, and one of his defense attorneys said

403
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:08.680
<v Speaker 1>if released, Combs would stay inside his apartment in Manhattan.

404
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Part of the southbound one on one is going to

405
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:13.400
<v Speaker 1>be closed again overnight in Studio City as Coltrans completes

406
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:16.759
<v Speaker 1>what it says are urgently needed pavement repairs. The project

407
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:19.079
<v Speaker 1>is closed lanes on the one to one transition of

408
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:22.039
<v Speaker 1>the one seventy connector overnight Saturday night and again last night.

409
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:25.000
<v Speaker 1>It'll be closed again tonight from ten pm to five am.

410
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:29.200
<v Speaker 1>A giant emerald worth a billion dollars is being sent

411
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 1>back to its home company country. The eight hundred eight

412
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.680
<v Speaker 1>hundred thirty six pound gem was found in a Brazilian

413
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.960
<v Speaker 1>mine back in two thousand and one and somehow later

414
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.240
<v Speaker 1>got smuggled to the US. Several groups have been trying

415
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:46.759
<v Speaker 1>to claim ownership, but a federal judge ruled that the

416
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:51.200
<v Speaker 1>one hundred eighty thousand carrot Emerald must be given back

417
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.400
<v Speaker 1>to the country of Brazil. At six oh five its

418
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:59.480
<v Speaker 1>handle on the news. We're bracing for battles in the

419
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.079
<v Speaker 1>Senate now that Trump has made his cabinet picks at

420
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.880
<v Speaker 1>five point fifty. Thanksgiving is a time of food and family,

421
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.359
<v Speaker 1>fun and ruffled feathers. We're going to be talking with

422
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:14.400
<v Speaker 1>ABC's Jim Ryan about how to keep the peace at

423
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.319
<v Speaker 1>the Thanksgiving table. Right now. This is Good Morning too.

00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:33.319
<v Speaker 1>is and what you guys do.

428
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:35.519

00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:53.920
<v Speaker 3>to their customers good.

434
00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Direct to the customer because they don't they often don't

435
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.480
<v Speaker 1>have the big budgets of the big box stores. So

436
00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:02.920
<v Speaker 1>tell us, Sarah Barah with Small Business Saturday coming up

437
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:08.480
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, this Saturday, this Saturday after Thanksgiving, how is

438
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.359
<v Speaker 1>it looking for small businesses this year?

439
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:16.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the holiday time can be a really stressful one

440
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:18.640
<v Speaker 3>as certainly as it is for a lot of consumers,

441
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.599
<v Speaker 3>but definitely for small businesses. Most of them get, especially

442
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:25.359
<v Speaker 3>in retail and e commerce field, get around a quarter

443
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:28.039
<v Speaker 3>of their revenue during the holiday season. So leading up

444
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 3>to it, there's always a little bit of trepidation. And

445
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I would say this year, you know, with the long

446
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.000
<v Speaker 3>tail inflation effects coming out of the economy, but also

447
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:40.440
<v Speaker 3>a lot of really positive spending signs coming out in

448
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:43.480
<v Speaker 3>the media, there was a little bit of cautious optimism

449
00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:46.640
<v Speaker 3>going into the holiday season that there would be you know, similar,

450
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:49.480
<v Speaker 3>if not increased spend levels from consumers this year at

451
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:50.160
<v Speaker 3>their businesses.

452
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Now you mentioned inflation, and you know it's affected

453
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:55.599
<v Speaker 1>all of us. We know that even though the rate

454
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:58.640
<v Speaker 1>of inflation is backed down to more normal levels, the

455
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:01.279
<v Speaker 1>damage has pretty much been done and almost everything costs

456
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:03.640
<v Speaker 1>like twenty percent more. Is that the same for small

457
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.240
<v Speaker 1>businesses and are they forced them to kind of push

458
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:09.079
<v Speaker 1>that along or are they cutting their profit margins to

459
00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:09.880
<v Speaker 1>stay competitive?

460
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.839
<v Speaker 3>A bit of a mix, you know, Definitely small businesses

461
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.960
<v Speaker 3>have felt the impact just like consumers and certainly with

462
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:23.440
<v Speaker 3>their suppliers, but they usually are pretty hesitant to raise prices.

463
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:25.680
<v Speaker 3>So I would say the data that we showed so

464
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.000
<v Speaker 3>showed a bit of a mix that some have and

465
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:31.839
<v Speaker 3>may even plan to again, while others really want to

466
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:34.680
<v Speaker 3>hold out and see if things can return to more normalcy.

467
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:38.119
<v Speaker 3>But you know, all the more reason why this holiday

468
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:41.039
<v Speaker 3>season is really important to them and hopefully makes up

469
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:43.880
<v Speaker 3>some of the you know, the revenue this year. And

470
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:46.480
<v Speaker 3>also important to note that one of the major data

471
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 3>points that came out of the survey is just how

472
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.119
<v Speaker 3>committed holiday shoppers are to shopping small.

473
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you mentioned that you not only talked to businesses,

474
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:57.519
<v Speaker 1>but you talk to people who are going to be

475
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:00.319
<v Speaker 1>doing the shopping. What's what's their vibe that you got

476
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:01.000
<v Speaker 1>from your survey?

477
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:04.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we were really impressed with the results. I mean,

478
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.200
<v Speaker 3>certainly we know some of this changed in trend post

479
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:12.920
<v Speaker 3>COVID that communities and consumers really realized how important small

480
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.519
<v Speaker 3>businesses are to their communities. You know, we know of

481
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:18.960
<v Speaker 3>every dollar spent sixty seven cents days within that community,

482
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:22.799
<v Speaker 3>and there was sort of this renewed focus on maintaining

483
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:27.400
<v Speaker 3>maintaining consumership and shopping small. We saw that eight out

484
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:30.559
<v Speaker 3>of ten consumers still plan to visit and shop with

485
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:34.039
<v Speaker 3>small businesses this season and for most you know, this

486
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:35.960
<v Speaker 3>really doesn't change throughout the year, that they are very

487
00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:39.000
<v Speaker 3>committed to shopping small. So great data coming out of

488
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:41.799
<v Speaker 3>the study. Really a lot of optimistic data points for

489
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.720
<v Speaker 3>small businesses, and certainly with their continued resiliency, you know,

490
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.559
<v Speaker 3>coming out of the pandemic and continuing to you know,

491
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.319
<v Speaker 3>see growth outside of that in these past couple of years,

492
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:54.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, we have a lot of hope and optimism

493
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:55.680
<v Speaker 3>for this next holiday season.

494
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Well that's good news now, Sarah. One of my favorite

495
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:00.960
<v Speaker 1>things to do during the holidays is to head to

496
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:04.279
<v Speaker 1>like some of the smaller towns around southern California and

497
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:07.400
<v Speaker 1>go into their you know, their little downtowns and shop

498
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:09.400
<v Speaker 1>for Christmas presents and stuff and hit the mom and

499
00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:12.599
<v Speaker 1>pop shops, but it seems like they're harder to find

500
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:15.839
<v Speaker 1>and more of my favorite shops have kind of closed down.

501
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Are you seeing that trend or are we seeing a

502
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:22.599
<v Speaker 1>resurgence or or or is it just sort of holding

503
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>steady now?

504
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:28.000
<v Speaker 3>I would say now, probably holding steady. We certainly saw

505
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:30.680
<v Speaker 3>post COVID, you know a lot of those local retailers

506
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.480
<v Speaker 3>shut down and frankly large retailers shutting down on the

507
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:37.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, physical locations. But we've definitely seen some some

508
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:40.960
<v Speaker 3>growth and reopenings there. And you know, one tip for

509
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:44.759
<v Speaker 3>small businesses as well that that holiday shopping, uh, you know,

510
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:47.200
<v Speaker 3>the season is really really important to stay in front

511
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:49.640
<v Speaker 3>of consumers, but it's really important to stay in front

512
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:51.839
<v Speaker 3>of them year round. So whether you're a business that

513
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:54.480
<v Speaker 3>has a physical presence, you know in some of those

514
00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:58.480
<v Speaker 3>little holiday shopping markets, or whether you're you're e commerce

515
00:28:58.519 --> 00:29:01.559
<v Speaker 3>and rely on a lot of digital business that using

516
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:04.680
<v Speaker 3>tools like email marketing and SMS and really using those

517
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.039
<v Speaker 3>to stay in front of your audience all throughout the

518
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:09.640
<v Speaker 3>year will be helpful to make it so that there's

519
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:12.119
<v Speaker 3>really less pressure on that holiday season yep.

520
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:15.680
<v Speaker 1>And of course this Saturday is small business Saturday, so

521
00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:19.039
<v Speaker 1>support the moms and pops they need. Just Sarah Jordan,

522
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:21.960
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much. Appreciate your time and information this morning.

523
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:24.319
<v Speaker 3>Yes, thank you for having me.

524
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:26.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, take care. Let's get back to some of

525
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:28.799
<v Speaker 1>the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

526
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:30.960
<v Speaker 1>One man has been killed another hurt in his shooting

527
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:33.359
<v Speaker 1>near a homeless camp in Long Beach. The shooting was

528
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:36.799
<v Speaker 1>reported just before two am yesterday. The two men were

529
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:39.680
<v Speaker 1>found with gunshot injuries. One died at the scene. Police

530
00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>say the reason for the shooting was not known. Democratic

531
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:46.759
<v Speaker 1>Congressman and soon to be US Senator Adam Schiff says

532
00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:50.880
<v Speaker 1>the criminal cases against President elect Trump should not be dismissed.

533
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.799
<v Speaker 10>A jury of Donald Trump's peers found him guilty.

534
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:57.960
<v Speaker 1>He's no less guilty because he won an election. Shift

535
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.599
<v Speaker 1>told NBC's Meet the Press the cases should be put

536
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.160
<v Speaker 1>on hold until Trump gets out of office, because he

537
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:06.599
<v Speaker 1>says being president is not a get out of jail

538
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:10.799
<v Speaker 1>free card. Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law

539
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.599
<v Speaker 1>granting debt forgiveness to new army recruits who enlist to

540
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.759
<v Speaker 1>fight in Ukraine. The measure final version appeared on a

541
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:23.079
<v Speaker 1>government website Saturday, underscores Russia's needs for military personnel in

542
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:27.799
<v Speaker 1>the nearly three year old war. The unsays three hundred

543
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:30.240
<v Speaker 1>countries have agreed to a new three hundred billion dollar

544
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.480
<v Speaker 1>plan to flight climate change. There have been weeks of

545
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.000
<v Speaker 1>at times heated discussions at the COP twenty nine summit

546
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:40.559
<v Speaker 1>in Azerbaijan, and on Saturday a deal was finally reached.

547
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Wealthy countries, including the US and European nations, have agreed

548
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to the annual Funding Pledge, with the goal of reaching

549
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:49.559
<v Speaker 1>at least one point three trillion dollars by the year

550
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:53.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirty five. The effort aimed at helping developing countries

551
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:57.480
<v Speaker 1>cope with the effects of the climate crisis. President Biden

552
00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:59.440
<v Speaker 1>is about to host a couple of turkeys at the

553
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:03.599

554

579
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:32.319
<v Speaker 1>of another round of winter weather, saying it could complicate

580
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.440
<v Speaker 1>travel leading up to Thanksgiving. California is bracing for more

581
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:38.599
<v Speaker 1>snow and rain, while still dealing with some flooding and

582
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:41.640
<v Speaker 1>small landslides from the last storm. The National Weather Services

592
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:12.200
<v Speaker 1>to make a big splash the box office. Moviegoers flew

593
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:14.680
<v Speaker 1>into theaters to see Wicket and it's opening weekend, it

594

597

599
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving has always been a little bit sticky as you

600
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:36.400
<v Speaker 1>deal with the stress that families can present in this year,

601
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.279
<v Speaker 1>coming on the heels of a close election and a

602
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:43.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of polarized opinions. How's that affecting people as we

603
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:44.400
<v Speaker 1>approach the hullet?

604
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:45.119
<v Speaker 4>Freaking them out?

605
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:48.920
<v Speaker 1>To put it simply, Yeah, hosts.

606
00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:50.960
<v Speaker 4>And hosts are you know, they're worried about this, about

607
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:54.319
<v Speaker 4>having a big family gathering because the more people you have,

608
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:57.839
<v Speaker 4>the greater the chances that those folks, at least some

609
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:01.000
<v Speaker 4>of them are going to have varying political views. And

610
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.160
<v Speaker 4>here we are just three weeks after the election, and

611
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:06.640
<v Speaker 4>some of those wounds and some of that gloating might

612
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:10.159
<v Speaker 4>still be quite fresh on people's minds. And so yeah,

613
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:12.440
<v Speaker 4>it's kind of adding a bit of stress to what's

614
00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:13.840
<v Speaker 4>already a stressful situation.

615
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Abe was the situation the same four years ago?

616
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:22.159
<v Speaker 4>Don't know, I haven't seen surveys seen, you know, polling

617
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:24.320
<v Speaker 4>related to that, but I can tell you this year

618
00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:28.239
<v Speaker 4>is it is extreme. The surveyed une by Spruce has

619
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:30.719
<v Speaker 4>two thousand people around the country what they felt about

620
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:34.679
<v Speaker 4>the coming Thanksgiving and the possibility for conflict among family

621
00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:38.639
<v Speaker 4>members or guests at Thanksgiving, And yeah, it's kind of

622
00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:40.679
<v Speaker 4>a real thing. About a quarter of people are considering

623
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:43.199
<v Speaker 4>scrapping it all together and just staying home and not

624
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:47.960
<v Speaker 4>doing Thanksgiving because of what the conversations might sound like.

625
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so do you have any recommendations on how families

626
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:55.159
<v Speaker 1>and friends can make sure that it is a happy.

627
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:57.719
<v Speaker 4>Thanksgiving throughout these stats and not tell you maybe how

628
00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:00.679
<v Speaker 4>to deal with it. There's a psychiatry professor and this

629
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:03.400
<v Speaker 4>makes a lot of sense at Columbia University who has

630
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:07.639
<v Speaker 4>an acronym CALM C A l M. Okay, see is

631
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.800
<v Speaker 4>for communicate curiously. That is, don't just talk at people,

632
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:12.880
<v Speaker 4>but talk with them and hear what they have to say.

633
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:15.920
<v Speaker 4>And you know, I have a conversation that involves sharing

634
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:19.719
<v Speaker 4>information just instead of just spouting your views. The second

635
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:23.119
<v Speaker 4>actively listen. Okay, then limit setting. At some point you

636
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:27.599
<v Speaker 4>say we're done talking about politics. Let's talk about you know,

637
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:30.199
<v Speaker 4>the Dodgers, or let's talk about something else altogether, and

638
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:33.760
<v Speaker 4>then finally am maintain the big picture. That is, maybe

639
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:36.760
<v Speaker 4>you can't stand where your brother in law is politically,

640
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:39.079
<v Speaker 4>you just can't stand what he says what he thinks

641
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:41.480
<v Speaker 4>about politics, but that's still your brother in law. You

642
00:35:41.519 --> 00:35:45.000
<v Speaker 4>probably have a longtime relationship and things that go well

643
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:48.000
<v Speaker 4>beyond politics, So focus on those things. The big picture.

644
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think that that's a very nice thing to

645
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:55.039
<v Speaker 1>aspire to. I mean, that's a lot of communicating, and

646
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the problems with a lot of families,

647
00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:01.039
<v Speaker 1>including mine, is we're not we don't communicate that great together.

648
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:02.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we love each other and we have a

649
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:06.039
<v Speaker 1>good time together, but like saying, hey, you guys, let's

650
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:09.320
<v Speaker 1>sit down and make sure that we don't get into

651
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:13.039
<v Speaker 1>a big political fight this this holiday season. And that's

652
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a tough conversation to have.

653
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:17.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, it could be, but you could also deal with it,

654
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:19.800
<v Speaker 4>maybe in a humorous way. If I were hosting Thanksgiving

655
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:21.760
<v Speaker 4>it a big house or something and expecting a lot

656
00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:24.039
<v Speaker 4>of people, I think I'd put a sign outside that

657
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:28.519
<v Speaker 4>says it went a box that says leave your Kamala

658
00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:30.920
<v Speaker 4>Harris T shirts and your Mega caps in this box.

659
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:33.280
<v Speaker 4>We're not going to talk about it here. Second thing,

660
00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:36.400
<v Speaker 4>maybe you'd limit the alcohol a bit, because people who

661
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:39.199
<v Speaker 4>get drunk or drink, they tend to run their mouths,

662
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:42.760
<v Speaker 4>right They their mouths get them into trouble and with

663
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:45.679
<v Speaker 4>a lot of regrets at the end of Thanksgiving.

664
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:48.880
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it's always sort of been like the

665
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:52.920
<v Speaker 1>status quo, don't talk about religion and don't talk about politics.

666
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Are money or money? I mean, I grew up with

667
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:59.159
<v Speaker 1>those things, like knowing those My parents I think probably

668
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:02.559
<v Speaker 1>drilled that into our brains. Never talk about those things.

669
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And we've never had big fights at the Thanksgiving the table,

670
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:08.400
<v Speaker 1>but we probably already know what the hot topics are,

671
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:09.880
<v Speaker 1>so we just sort of steer clear of it.

672
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:11.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's a good idea, and you're right, And I mean,

673
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:14.519
<v Speaker 4>if you've set some guidelines on your own, whether you

674
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:16.519
<v Speaker 4>have the sign in the box outside or you're just

675
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:20.079
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of how you feel and how you hope

676
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:24.920
<v Speaker 4>your guests feel. And yeah, it's a it's a great idea. Money, politics, religion.

677
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:26.760
<v Speaker 4>Just leave them back at the house.

678
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:29.239
<v Speaker 1>And if things do get heated, how do we diffuse it?

679
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:34.320
<v Speaker 4>You just ask everybody to leave for it, get out,

680
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:37.800
<v Speaker 4>take your pumpkin pie and scram we're done.

681
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:43.079
<v Speaker 1>I would totally take the pumpkin pie with me. All right, Well,

682
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:46.440
<v Speaker 1>good luck with Thanksgiving. I think, I think hopefully cooler

683
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:49.039
<v Speaker 1>heads will prevail if we all just take a deep breath.

684
00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:51.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, speaking of holding your breath, I wouldn't.

685
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh, okay, well, we'll check in after the holidays and

686
00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:00.599
<v Speaker 1>you can get some intel and recon about all the

687
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:01.360
<v Speaker 1>fights that went on.

688
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:04.480
<v Speaker 4>But do have a turkey knife in my neck? Cursonably

689
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:05.559
<v Speaker 4>Oh all.

690
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Right, let's be safe out there too.

691
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:07.400
<v Speaker 11>Yeah.

692
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Please, all right, ABC's Jim Ryan, thank you so much.

693
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:11.639
<v Speaker 1>So yah, let's get back to some of the stories

694
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:13.920
<v Speaker 1>coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The

695
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:17.559
<v Speaker 1>FAA says staffing shortages could cause some delays in your

696
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:18.360
<v Speaker 1>holiday travel.

697
00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:21.679
<v Speaker 10>The area that could be most impacted is the Northeast,

698
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:25.480
<v Speaker 10>especially New York, because of a shortage of air traffic controllers.

699
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:29.119
<v Speaker 1>KFIS Chris Graggio says tomorrow is expected to be the

700
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:32.159
<v Speaker 1>busiest air travel day of the week. A man has

701
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:34.519
<v Speaker 1>been arrested in connection with a fatal hit and run

702
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:37.039
<v Speaker 1>crash in South la where a sixteen year old on

703
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:40.199
<v Speaker 1>a bicycle was killed. The crash happened Friday afternoon on

704
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>South figaroa street near BMO Stadium. Investigators see the driver

705
00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:46.239
<v Speaker 1>had gotten into an argument with a large group of

706
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:49.000
<v Speaker 1>people on bicycles and followed them into a parking lot.

707
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:51.519
<v Speaker 1>They say the teen was hit by a different car,

708
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:55.679
<v Speaker 1>possibly on purpose. The Israeli ambassador to Washington says a

709
00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:59.480
<v Speaker 1>ceasefire deal to end fighting between Israel and hezbola In

710
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:04.079
<v Speaker 1>could be reached within days, even as the fighting escalated

711
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:08.159
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend. ABC's Lama Hassan says has Belah fired

712
00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:12.039
<v Speaker 1>its largest barrage of rockets over the weekend, according.

713
00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:15.519
<v Speaker 9>To the IDF, around two hundred and fifty projectiles slamming

714
00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:18.000
<v Speaker 9>into areas in northern and central Israel.

715
00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:22.119
<v Speaker 1>At least six Israelis were injured. She says the attacks

716
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:26.840
<v Speaker 1>were retaliation for an inn Israeli military strike on Saturday

717
00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:30.679
<v Speaker 1>that hit a residential building in Beirut. Israeli Ambassador Mike

718
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Herzog told Israeli Army Radio there are still points to

719
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:38.159
<v Speaker 1>finalize for a ceasefire and that any deal requires agreement

720
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:43.079
<v Speaker 1>from the government. Democratic Senate Judiciary member Amy Klobisher says

721
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:47.559
<v Speaker 1>she has concerns about all of President Elect Trump's cabinet nominees.

722
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:51.039
<v Speaker 1>She says she is troubled the Trump transition team has

723
00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:54.480
<v Speaker 1>not yet agreed to FBI background checks of Trump's picks.

724
00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:59.679
<v Speaker 8>We require these background checks of line DEA agents, drug

725
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:03.719
<v Speaker 8>and AN agents. We required of first time prosecutors for

726
00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:04.679
<v Speaker 8>the federal government.

727
00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:09.320
<v Speaker 1>She backs background checks or she says that background checks

728
00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:11.320
<v Speaker 1>are a must for the most important jobs in the

729
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:14.599
<v Speaker 1>US government. The author known for A Woman of Substance

730
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:18.039
<v Speaker 1>has died. Barbara Taylor Bradford first gained popularity in the

731
00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:20.840
<v Speaker 1>nineteen forties and wrote more than a dozen other novels

732
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:23.360
<v Speaker 1>that sold more than eighty million copies around the world.

733
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:27.000
<v Speaker 1>A Woman of Substance was published in nineteen seventy nine.

734
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Bradford was one of the world's wealthiest writers, and her

735
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:33.719
<v Speaker 1>image appeared on a postage stamp in nineteen ninety nine.

736
00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:36.519
<v Speaker 1>In two thousand and seven, she was recognized by Queen

737
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth I. Barbara Taylor Bradford was ninety one, and scientists

738
00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:44.159
<v Speaker 1>in Europe say they found out why people lose weight

739
00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:48.639
<v Speaker 1>and then often gain it right back. Researchers at ETCH

740
00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Zurich call it the yo yo effect. We've all heard

741
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:55.280
<v Speaker 1>that before. They say being overweight leaves a lasting imprint

742
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:59.719
<v Speaker 1>on our fat cells through chemical markers called epigenics. Researchers

743
00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:03.599
<v Speaker 1>say the fat cells remember how big they were when

744
00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:07.199
<v Speaker 1>a person was overweight, and then apparently try to get

745
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:11.119
<v Speaker 1>right back there. Isn't that great your fat cells? Remember.

746
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:17.440
<v Speaker 1>This is KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County, Southland.

747
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:20.039
<v Speaker 1>Weather from KFI, mostly cloudy at slight chance of showers

748
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.760
<v Speaker 1>this afternoon and evening. Highs will be in the sixties
