WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:04.120 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call 2 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:08.480 with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:15.759 KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 4 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:22.719 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy Kig. 5 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.399 It's five o'clock Friday morning. This is your wake up 6 00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.079 call for December sixth. I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere 7 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:38.399 on the iHeartRadio app. Glad you're waking up with us today. 8 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.759 So much going on. I feel kind of left out 9 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.880 because we had that huge earthquake in northern California, a 10 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.640 seven point zero, and we didn't feel it. I mean, 11 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.920 not that that's a bad thing, but you know, you 12 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.920 feel you think that when it's that big, there'd be 13 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.679 some effect. Luckily, it sounds like it didn't do the 14 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:01.799 kind of damage that it probably would have done if 15 00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:05.480 it had hit a big city. Lots going on today. 16 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.319 We're going to get you all up to date and 17 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.159 hopefully have a little bit of fun too. Do be 18 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:13.000 careful if you're driving out there here. The FOG's pretty bad. 19 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.120 It wasn't bad on my drive in, but I hear 20 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.760 it's pretty thick, especially down as you're heading into OC 21 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.159 here is what is ahead on wake up call. Dozens 22 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.680 of aftershocks have rumbled under northern California following that seven 23 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.159 point zero quake that hit about sixty two miles off 24 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.719 the coast. A tsunami warning was issued but then canceled. 25 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.879 State Senator Mike Maguire says about ten thousand people lost 26 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.200 power in Humboldt County because of the quake. Governor Newsom 27 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.000 has declared a state of emergency in northern California. USC 28 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.000 has urged international students to return to the US before 29 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.879 President Elect Trump takes office. Emails have been sent to 30 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.079 students who are on F one and J one visus 31 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.079 encouraging them to return early from winter break, have their 32 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.640 travel documents with them, and make sure the documents are 33 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.359 up to day in case there are any issues with 34 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:06.120 them getting back into the country after Inauguration Day. Travelers 35 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.360 who flew in or out of lax before Thanksgiving may 36 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.520 have been exposed to measles. The La County Department of 37 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.599 Public Health says a person with measles was in the 38 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:18.960 Tom Bradley International Terminal on November twenty seventh. Passengers who 39 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.800 may have been exposed or being notified a baby with 40 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.000 measles has been treated at Children's Hospital in Orange County. 41 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.360 It's not clear if it's the same person. Well, we're 42 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.439 going back to the moon, but not quite as soon 43 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.400 as we had hoped. We're going to talk about that 44 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.759 with ABC's Jim Ryan. That's coming up in just a 45 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.759 couple of minutes. We're going to get the latest on 46 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.000 what's going on with the murder of that CEO from 47 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.840 United Healthcare, what new clues they've discovered. We're also going 48 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.400 to be talking to the house whisper Dean Sharp that's 49 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.840 coming up at the bottom of the hour. And also 50 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.039 if you're headed to the movies or maybe going to 51 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.240 curl up on the couch for the weekend, or maybe 52 00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.759 watch something as you're decorating the house, we're going to 53 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.360 check with ABC's Will Gambs. That's coming up before the 54 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.800 end of the hour. So see, I told you lots 55 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.800 going on. So let's get started with some of the 56 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.080 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 57 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.680 Governor Newsom has declared a state of emergency in northern 58 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.800 California because of the magnitude seven earthquake in the Pacific 59 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.759 Ocean near the border with Oregon Quake expert doctor Lucy 60 00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:22.400 Jones says the earthquake hit about ten forty five yesterday morning. 61 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.520 Located on the transformed fault that extends out beyond the 62 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.159 end of the San Andreas. 63 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.439 The quake TRIGGEREDOO tsunami Warner, a warning that affected about 64 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.039 five million people in California and Oregon. It has been 65 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.240 canceled the US Geological Services. The earthquake could be felt 66 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.120 in San Francisco, Oakland, and Alameda. It's been followed by 67 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.520 dozens of aftershocks, almost all of them centered in the ocean, 68 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.479 and most of them pretty small. News brought to you 69 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.840 by Ruderhiro dot com. A man who shot and critically 70 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.319 wounded two kindergarteners at a Seventh Day Adventist school in 71 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.159 northern California gain access to the school by pretending to 72 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.400 enroll a fictitious grandson at the school. Mute County Sheriff 73 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:08.400 Cory Honin Honey says the man wrote about the attack 74 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.680 and also planned to visit another school yesterday. He shot 75 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.720 and killed himself after the shooting. On Wednesday, A candlelight 76 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.480 vigil for the little boys, who are still in critical condition, 77 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.839 is planned for today, a person has either fallen or 78 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.439 jumped to their death from the sixth Street Bridge and 79 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.519 Boil Heights. LA Fire says the person was found dead 80 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.600 in the La river bed below the bridge yesterday afternoon. 81 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.279 LAPD detectives are working to figure out if the person 82 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.959 fell or jumped and why. LA County Supervisor Katherine Barger 83 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.759 says a local government should prepare to work with the 84 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:43.920 new Trump administration. 85 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.160 The Board of Supervisors voted to mobilize its lobbyist in 86 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.560 support of Governor Newsom's plan to trump proof California. Supervisor 87 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.079 Catherine Barber was the only vote against the motion. 88 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:59.240 Adopting a confrontational approach with the incoming Trump administration is 89 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:00.600 not the best of now. 90 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.839 Barger is chair of the board and says she plans 91 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.199 to communicate with the incoming administration. She says La County 92 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.839 will need federal support for homelessness, transportation, and the Olympics. 93 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.480 Michael Monks KFI News would like to say good morning 94 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.519 now to ABC's Jim Ryan. So Jim as Jackie Gleason 95 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:21.959 might have said to the Moon. Alice NASA says it's 96 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.240 got plans in place to go back to the Moon 97 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.399 for the first time in fifty years. 98 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.439 Yes, but it's going to be a little delayed. You know. 99 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.720 The plan was to get something going this coming year 100 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.240 twenty twenty five, to at least get a further step, 101 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.600 and then maybe in twenty twenty six have people walking 102 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.759 around on the Moon again. That's not going to happen. 103 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.240 Bill Nelson, the NASSA administrator, yesterday said that the programm 104 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.199 is being pushed back a bit. Remember two years ago 105 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.879 Amy the Artemis program. It was Armis one was a 106 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.439 rocket that carried the Orion spacecraft without a crew on board, 107 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.480 on a trip around the Moon, and it came back 108 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.959 about ten days later. Everything seemed great, but engineers taking 109 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.319 a closer look realize that the heat shields weren't doing 110 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.800 their job quite properly five thousand degree temperatures as this 111 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.399 thing is re entering the Us' atmosphere, So they want 112 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.759 to improve that and maybe change the trajectory, the re 113 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.240 entry trajectory so it's not quite so hot, and then 114 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:22.680 try it again. So the mission now is planned. The orbit, 115 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.040 the next orbit of the Moon with people on board 116 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.959 is supposed to happen in April twenty twenty six, and 117 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.120 then the mission to put people on the Moon again 118 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.639 mid twenty twenty seven. That's the timeline. 119 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:37.639 Now, okay, so before they go and land on the Moon, 120 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:41.680 they're going to do that fly by. Why do a 121 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.920 fly by instead of just going. 122 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.240 Well, it's a matter of safety. It's making sure that 123 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:51.399 everything works that it's going to be feasible to do this. 124 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.519 Obviously we did it before fifty some odd years ago 125 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.360 with Apollo missions. But you know, it seems NASA is 126 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.480 very cautious these days, considering the loss of two talent 127 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.639 to shuttles. You know, they want to be in an 128 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:07.079 abundance of caution, make sure that everything has been tested, 129 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.360 every possibility has been considered, and that it's as safe 130 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.480 as it can be. It's always going to be dangerous, 131 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.879 but doing things like this fly by the orbit of 132 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.519 the Moon intended to prove that it can be done. 133 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.199 Next step is putting people down onto the surface again. 134 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:23.839 Isn't it weird that it was fifty years ago and 135 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.040 then we just stopped going. 136 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:28.240 It is kind of weird. I think the plan, at 137 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.199 least back then was to try to continue and maybe 138 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.800 by now we would have a Moon base in place. 139 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:37.879 And yeah, it's fifty years on and still we haven't 140 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:38.279 been back. 141 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.439 Did you ever? Did you watch that show? For all Mankind? 142 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.480 I've been watching it. It's hard to get into it. 143 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.519 It's a little bit, yes. 144 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.240 It is, Yeah, but I think it's fascinating because I'm 145 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.920 interested in love all things space. But they have like 146 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:55.680 they set. 147 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.279 Up interesting twist on it. 148 00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.720 Yeah, lots of interesting twists, but they like set up 149 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.759 base is on the Moon and then they set up 150 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.399 base everywhere and then they go to Mars. And yeah, 151 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:10.600 it's still fascinating. So is how long does it take 152 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.360 to get from here to the moon? 153 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.279 What is it? Day day and a half or something 154 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.439 like that. Though the whole mission is about ten days 155 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.120 to go to the moon, circle it and then come back. 156 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.240 The mission to put people on the Moon and have 157 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.800 them exploring the south pole of the Moon is about 158 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.279 a month. So it depends upon what you're intending to do. 159 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:36.600 And they're going to the south pole and recently didn't 160 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.720 China go to the south pole. 161 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:43.320 Or career dropped the probe? Yeah that nobody has. No 162 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.519 people have set foot on the Moon in fifty odd years, 163 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:51.600 but yes the Chinese have and just liking in that show, right, 164 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.080 there's this competition between I think it's Russians and the 165 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.000 Americans there on the moon with their space bases, their 166 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:02.279 moon bases, but the Chinese are looking at doing the 167 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.679 same thing. They'd like to put people on the moon 168 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:08.799 the goal. Yesterday Bill Nelson, the NAST administrator, said, look, 169 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:10.879 if we do this in mid twenty twenty seven, we 170 00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.480 should still beat the Chinese to putting somebody back on 171 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.200 the Moon again. So there is still a space race 172 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:15.559 going on. 173 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.279 Yeah, So what's the fascination about the south part of 174 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:18.639 the moon? 175 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.960 Water? There's water there, and it means that you can 176 00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.200 establish a base. You don't have to keep hauling water 177 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.639 up there from the Earth, which is extremely expensive and 178 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.440 cumberson to do, not cost effective. So if you can 179 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.799 find your own water there in ice form or whatever 180 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:40.279 it might be, you can sustain life. What's more, you 181 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.120 can also use that water to create fuel to carry 182 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:47.039 the next generation of astronauts to Mars maybe beyond. 183 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.799 Okay, is Artemis al NASA or is Elon Musk involved 184 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:51.080 with that? 185 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:55.039 Busk is involved, you know, But even with the Apollo missions, 186 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.879 you had a lot of private companies that are involved that, 187 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.759 you know, the contractors building everything from you know, the 188 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.279 rocket panels, to the space suits, to every aspect of 189 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.200 it was built by some private company for the most part. 190 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.960 But yes, and this is interesting because, so what will 191 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.039 happen with Artemus three the moon landing. This crew of 192 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:19.879 four will dock with the SpaceX Starship human Landing System 193 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.799 in orbit around the Moon. Two of the crew members, 194 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.879 two of the four crew members will stay in the 195 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.960 Orion NASA spacecraft orbiting the Moon. The other two will 196 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:32.320 will ride the starship down to the surface of the Moon. 197 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:34.960 Then they'll do their thing down there. They will wander 198 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.399 around and proof off and play golf or whatever they're 199 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.679 going to do there like the Apollo astronauts. And then 200 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.720 they'll get back into the SpaceX Starship. They'll go back 201 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.279 up to the Orion NASA spacecraft over the you know, 202 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.799 or ring Moon, and then come back to Earth. So 203 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.720 it's the symbiotic relationship NASA and SpaceX. 204 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.919 That's that's cool. That's cool, all right. And then speaking 205 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.879 of SpaceX and the International Space Station, they also gave 206 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.840 an update on Sonny and Butch, the astronauts who are 207 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.240 kind of having a Gilligan's Island moment. They were supposed 208 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.519 to be on a week long tour and they've been 209 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:11.720 there for six months now. 210 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.559 Yeah, I'm supposed to be eight days now. It's been 211 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.960 extended into February of next year, so a couple of 212 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.840 more months because of the Boeing Starlin or spacecraft that 213 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.200 they made it up there. And so you know, even 214 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.559 with these private companies in Bowling and Starling, I mean 215 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.360 and Space Eggs, things are not perfect. 216 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.720 No, they're not. But do you know what's perfect is 217 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.879 that our friend Colonel Nick Haig, who is a friend 218 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.200 of wake Up Calls.

The next day, he 236 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:25.080 allegedly robbed a man in Carson and a guy standing 237 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.600 near a Rolls Royce in Costa Mesa. Another man was 238 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.159 shot in September during a robbery at the same mall. 239 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.039 Governor Newsom has visited the southern border, where he was 240 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.600 asked about a potential mass deportation policy under President elect Trump. 241 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.360 Newsom says the state will not obstruct, but also won't help. 242 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.480 California's posture remains we do not interfere in the federal 243 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:48.320 government's right to enforce federal law using federal resources. 244 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.559 Newsom also says he's sending more National Guard troops to 245 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.360 the border to collaborate with the Mexican government to tackle 246 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:59.440 illegal weapons and drugs.

He says he's hopeful 248 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.120 a deal to end the fourteen month war is within reach. 249 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.679 Guitar suspended talks with mediators from Egypt and the United 250 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.279 States last month over a frustration with the lack of 251 00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:16.919 progress between Israel and Hamas. Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield 252 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:22.480 is stopping its decision not to cover anesthesia under certain conditions. 253 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.919 The insurance company first said that it would not reimburse 254 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.440 anesthesia costs if the surgery went on for what the 255 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.799 insurance deemed too long. People were outrage across social media. 256 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:34.120 The American Society of Anesthesiologists issued a statement calling the 257 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.799 policy a cynical money grab and urging Anthem to reverse 258 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.679 it immediately. Now Blue Cross Blue Shield is saying that 259 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.080 they'd be stopping the policy one day after the shooting 260 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:46.519 of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson Andrew Caravella KFI News. 261 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.759 Can you even imagine they're talking about, well, we'll cover anesthesia, 262 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:52.960 but if the surgery goes long, if you have a 263 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.000 problem or a complication and it takes longer than we 264 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.919 say that it should, we're not going to cover that 265 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:04.879 anesthesia anymore. Crazy. Los Angeles has the largest GDP of 266 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:09.240 all counties in the whole country. The gross domestic product 267 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.480 takes all the totals from all the bottom lines on 268 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.799 goods and services the counties produce. Orange County ranks ninth 269 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.799 with two hundred and seventy three billion dollars and San 270 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.120 Diego County ranks tenth in the country with two hundred 271 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.960 and sixty one billion. The search continues for the man 272 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.000 who murdered the CEO of United Healthcare in front of 273 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.399 the Hilton Hotel in Midtown. Manhattan. Police say they've received 274 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.360 an avalanche of tips about the suspect, but are still 275 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.720 not sure of his identity. We're going to get the 276 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.000 latest on the man hunt with ABC's Josh Morgolan in 277 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:42.960 just a minute. The House is voted against releasing an 278 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:46.720 Ethics Committee report from its investigation of former Florida Congressman 279 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.639 Matt Gates. Gates was being investigated over allegations of sexual 280 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.600 misconduct and drug use. Gates was nominated by President elect 281 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:57.480 Trump to be the next Attorney General, but he withdrew 282 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.320 his name from consideration and also resigned from com Gris. 283 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.559 Mulwana two is expected to have another big weekend at 284 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:06.039 the box office.

I'll tell you 289 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.440 about that right now. 290 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:20.600 Though. 291 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:25.960 Let's say good morning to ABC's Josh Margolan. Good morning, Josh. 292 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:26.600 Hey, good morning. 293 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:26.919 Here are you. 294 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.399 I'm good. The man who shot and killed the CEO 295 00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:32.840 of CEO of United Healthcare still on the loose. Two 296 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.159 days after Brian Thompson was gunned down in front of 297 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.759 the Hilton Hotel. What have we learned about the shooter? 298 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.840 At least have a ton of information right now. They 299 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.960 have a lot of good working material in terms of 300 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.919 his whereabouts, how how and when he comes into the city, 301 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.960 what he did around the city. They're piecing everything together. 302 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.120 You know, it's impossible in a big city like New 303 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:58.279 York or Los Angeles to do anything without being captured 304 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.000 on security. 305 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:01.120 And traffic cameras these days. 306 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.240 What they don't know yet is why this happened, and 307 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:06.799 they don't know where he is. The manhunt is continuing, 308 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:08.159 as you say, two days after it. 309 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.919 Okay, so where how did he come into the city 310 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:13.559 by bus? 311 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.879 To the port authority bus terminal, the main bus station 312 00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:22.279 for intercity buses in Midtown Manhattan, and he then goes 313 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.039 he checks into this hostel. It's the hostel where when 314 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:29.679 he checked in, there's the security cameras have a picture 315 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.559 of his full face. It's the only good image of 316 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:35.759 his full face that we have. Other cameras have captured 317 00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:38.000 him with some sort of a scarf for a COVID 318 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.679 mask on the lower part of his face. And he then, 319 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:44.519 you know, we see him coming out of the subway 320 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.919 going to the location that morning, see him on a 321 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.600 cell phone. Then they see images of him getting away 322 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:54.639 from the area on a bike. Then they see images 323 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:56.960 of him, you know, he goes to Central Park, just 324 00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.519 a few blocks north of the location. Then he comes 325 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:01.960 out farther north of Central Park. 326 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:03.639 So they have all of that kind of that. 327 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.000 They're trying to piece every single thing together because in 328 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:09.799 the absence of knowing who this is, they want to 329 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.480 get the information they can to try to figure out 330 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:16.119 who we talked to, who he might have interacted with, 331 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.680 where he was, where he might be going. 332 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.920 Okay, and I heard that we have or no we 333 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.440 but I heard that they have recovered a cell phone 334 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.079 that might be his. 335 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.000 Yes, So there are images of him on a cell 336 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:34.759 phone before the killing occurred. There was a cell phone 337 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.799 found in the alley right where he disappeared to when 338 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.279 he got on a bike to take off after the shooting. 339 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.799 So they have that phone. We don't have a good 340 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.079 sense of what police have found in that phone. Was 341 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:48.519 it some sort of a personal phone, was it a burner? 342 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.599 So that kind of information is going to obviously be key. 343 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:56.680 Yeah, And then there's also the bullets or the casings 344 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.759 where they had the words written on them in a 345 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.880 like with a sharpie or something. Are those words a 346 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.000 message or are they thinking they might be a decoy? 347 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:08.839 You know what? 348 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:13.880 It could be either the words are denied, depose, delay. 349 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.640 These are words that are used by people in opposition 350 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:21.039 to insurance companies. And there's obviously a ton of people 351 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:25.119 as you could see online. The insurance industry is very controversial. 352 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:27.920 Decisions that they make every single day affect people's lives 353 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:34.000 in very very dramatic and profound ways. So could it 354 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:36.880 be that it's a grudge against this individual Brian Thompson 355 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.759 because of his work as an insurance executive, or against 356 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.799 the company which is the largest health insurer in the country. 357 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.519 Could be Could it be that this is somebody who 358 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.440 has some sort of other grudge, there's some other motivation, 359 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.640 and decided to try to throw cops off his sense, 360 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:55.839 so to speak, by like the red herring, like a decoy, 361 00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:58.279 like you say, saying it's the insurance thing as opposed 362 00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:01.519 to some other personal thing.
