It's January seventeenth. Good morning, I'm Amy King. 15 00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.519 We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and so happy 16 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.799 that you're starting your day with us. Today. The winds 17 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.200 are calm, the weather's cool, and we hear that some 18 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.079 people are being allowed back into their neighborhoods. Schools are 19 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:23.439 about to reopen in Pasadena. Still a long, long journey ahead, 20 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.879 but you know, we take these little these little winds 21 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.000 and embrace them. We need them right now. And you 22 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.079 just heard the intro when we talked to the International 23 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.359 Space Station. Our buddy Nickay got to go and do 24 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.719 a space walk yesterday with Sonny Williams. She's one of 25 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:45.560 the astronauts who was supposed to be up on the 26 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.920 space station for a week, but she's been there for 27 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.400 like nine months, so they said, I think she needs 28 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.239 to go out for a walk. So they did some 29 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.400 repairs to the space station yesterday. I think it was 30 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.760 about six hours long. It's pretty cool. If you want 31 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.200 to check it out, you can look on the NASA app. 32 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.640 And then I think Sonny and Butcher are both going 33 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.599 out again to do some more repairs next week. Here's 34 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.719 what's ahead on wake up call this Friday morning. Firefighters 35 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.280 have taken advantage of the lighter winds and cool temperatures 36 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.039 to continue to dig lines around the fires in Pacific 37 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.439 Palisades and Altadena Palisades fire is twenty seven percent surrounded, 38 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.120 the Eton fires fifty five percent surrounded. Some evacuation orders 39 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.479 for both fires are being lifted. Negotiators for Israel and 40 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.560 Hamas have signed a cease fire and hostage deal. Several 41 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.000 outlets say the deal was signed today in Qatar by 42 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.840 officials from Israel, Hamas, the US, and Katari officials. Israeli 43 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.919 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who released a statement saying the 44 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.479 families of the hostages have been informed of the agreements. 45 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.560 The clock is ticking down on TikTok. We're going to 46 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.319 find out if the clock is really going to run 47 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.319 out with ABC's Steven Portnoy. That's coming up in just 48 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.400 a couple of minutes. Also, even though the flames are 49 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.719 being tamed, the fires aren't out. We're going to find 50 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.120 out how the firefighters are doing and get an update 51 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.159 with Cow Fires Captain cal Her.

At five point thirty five, the House 53 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.319 Whisper and the host of Home on KFI, Dean Sharp. 54 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.479 It's going to help us sort out the fact from 55 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.520 the fiction when it comes to fire hardening your home. 56 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.560 So lots ahead, and we hope you'll stick around with 57 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.400 us for the whole five o'clock hour, and then of 58 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.199 course stick around at six oh five because we got 59 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.680 handle on the news coming up. Let's get started with 60 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.759 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 61 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.000 four hour newsroom. More evacuation orders have been lifted on 62 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.439 the outskirts of the fire that started near Altadena and Pasadena. 63 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.039 Fire and Eaton Canyon is burdened more than fourteen thousand 64 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:40.000 acres and is fifty five percent surrounded, official say firefighters 65 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.080 have been putting out hot spots and reinforcing lines, focusing 66 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.599 on the steep terrain near Winter's Creek along the northern 67 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.960 side of the fire. More than seven thousand homes and 68 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.120 other buildings have been damaged or destroyed, and urban search 69 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.479 and rescue teams have completed more than eighty eight hundred inspections. 70 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.520 At least seventeen deaths have been confirmed. Evacuation orders have 71 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.919 been lifted for several neighborhoods impacted by the fire that 72 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.639 started in Pacific Palisades. People are allowed back yesterday as 73 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.400 the winds died down and the fire is twenty seven 74 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.639 percent surrounded. This guy says he was relieved to find 75 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.280 out his home is still standing. 76 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.959 We are so incredibly grateful that we have homeless and 77 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:19.839 there's no electricity. 78 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.319 Who cares the water might not be perfect? 79 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.319 Who cares there might be stuff in the air? 80 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:24.839 Who cares? 81 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:25.639 We have our homes. 82 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.759 The evacuation orders lifted yesterday affect more than eleven thousand 83 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.560 people in Pacific Palisades In Malibu. Authority say others might 84 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.800 need to wait at least a week before they can 85 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.199 return to their neighborhoods. If you want to get an 86 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.240 updated list of the evacuation areas. You can find it 87 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.199 at Recovery dot La County dot gov. The FEDS have 88 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.639 issued warnings about fake donations for fire victims. 89 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.680 FBI says scammers exploit mass casualty events and disasters that 90 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.959 includes the wildfires in La Inventora Counties. Officials say the 91 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.079 fraudulent activity may come off as disaster relief agencies collecting 92 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:03.879 personal info or conducting charitable schemes against disaster assistance programs. 93 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.680 They may even pose as official entities or celebrities. People 94 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.480 are encouraged to do their own research before donating, and 95 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.040 for those that want to donate to fire victims, they 96 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.959 can go to the California Department of Justice website, where 97 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.879 an online search tool can verify an organization's legitimacy. Andrew 98 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.319 Caravella kay if I News. 99 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.600 One of the real donation locations is dream Center La. 100 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.160 iHeartMedia has teamed up with Dream Center to take donations 101 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.800 of food and money which are so desperate need, desperately needed. 102 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.120 We're going to let you know where and when you 103 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.120 can donate, coming up in just a couple of minutes. 104 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.000 But dream Center La that is one of the legitimate 105 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:47.319 places to donate your food and supplies and money to 106 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.000 help the fire victims. Let's say good morning now to 107 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:55.040 ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, the clock is ticking down on 108 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.759 a TikTok ban can and will the clock be stopped? 109 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:00.560 I know we're going to find out out. Look at 110 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.720 ten o'clock this morning, the Supreme Court is going to 111 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.079 meet to deliver at least one or more opinion, at 112 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.600 least one opinion, maybe more than one. We don't know 113 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:10.560 it's going to be the TikTok case, but there's a 114 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.360 great deal of speculation that it will be, because the 115 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.079 Court almost never meets on Fridays to deliver opinions at 116 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.480 this part of the term. And the thinking is a 117 00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.439 week after it heard oral argument, aware of Sunday's deadline, 118 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.560 we'll hear from the court about this case. We don't 119 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.839 know what the Court's going to do. It could say sorry, TikTok, 120 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:33.519 time's up, or you know, it could grant the extension 121 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.800 that President elect Trump has asked the Court to grant. 122 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.199 And there's a great deal of speculation, but what's going 123 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.160 to happen next? Because you know, there've been reports this 124 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.839 week that TikTok will proactively shut the platform down and 125 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.079 put up a message say sorry, folks, call your member 126 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.759 of Congress. There's also the thought that maybe President elect 127 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.519 Trump will issue some sort of executive order that seeks 128 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.720 to delay the enforcement of this law to give more 129 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.720 time for the app to be sold. But let me explain, 130 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.199 having spent a lot of time reading the text of 131 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.279 this law, it is dense. But leave it to your 132 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.279 expert here to do this. The law says a one 133 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.720 time ninety day extension can only be granted if there's 134 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.360 a sale already in the works and the papers have 135 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.439 been signed. There is no such sale in the works, 136 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.199 no papers have been drafted, and so this idea that 137 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.920 the president, under the text of the law can grant 138 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.680 an extension is far afield. But maybe there's a way. 139 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.600 I don't know how the president can issue an executive 140 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.519 order that says, never mind what the law says, we're 141 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.199 going to do something different. I don't know how that works. 142 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.800 I've never quite seen it before, so we'll find out. 143 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.120 But there's an intensive, aggressive lobbying effort that TikTok is 144 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.120 employing right now. There's going to be a party here 145 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.199 in this Town on Sunday that's being hosted by TikTok 146 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:53.319 to celebrate Donald Trump's inauguration. Kelly and Conway has been 147 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.160 hired by the company as one of its lobbyists. You've 148 00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.680 got the CEO of TikTok being invited to sit in 149 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:02.079 the way down in front next to America's elected leaders 150 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.480 and other VIP's at the inauguration. And President Elect Trump 151 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:08.680 has posted on social media just how much more popular 152 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.279 he is on that app than, for example, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, 153 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.879 Kamala Harris. Why he asks what he seek to ban TikTok. 154 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.959 And there's a bit of buyer's remorse here because people 155 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.360 are suddenly realizing in Washington they may have painted themselves 156 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.160 into a corner and has given how popular TikTok is. 157 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.160 But let's see what happens next. Congress has spoken, we 158 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.240 may hear from the Supreme Court today, and I've never 159 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.720 seen a president with the wave of his hand decide 160 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.720 that he's not going to enforce the law that Congress 161 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.039 has passed. But maybe Congress will make another choice. We'll 162 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:40.840 have to see what happens. 163 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.320 Well, and I saw something on a couple of the 164 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:47.080 news outlets last night that President Biden said that he 165 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.320 wouldn't enforce the Banny. Well, he's in office for. 166 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.639 Don't listen, don't read too much into that. I'll be 167 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:57.360 very brief. Sunday is Sunday, right, Monday is a federal holiday. 168 00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.720 The way this law works is the Justice Department is 169 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.799 to go to federal court and seek a civil penalty 170 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.879 of up to five thousand dollars per user. With the 171 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.879 Biden administration's telling us is they're not going to do 172 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:11.159 that on Sunday or Monday's federal holiday, which means it's 173 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.440 up to Donald Trump's Justice Department to enforce the law. 174 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.279 That's a function of the time and the dates, not 175 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.159 any kind of policy matter. 176 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.080 Okay, and ten o'clock Supreme Court, We'll be watching you, 177 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.120 bet ABC. Stephen Portnoy, thank you so much. Have a 178 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:24.679 great weekend. 179 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:25.120 You got it. 180 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.159 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 181 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.200 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Israeli security 182 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:34.080 cabinet has voted to approve a ceasefire and hostage release deal. 183 00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.639 The full cabinet still has to vote on it. That's 184 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:40.879 expected later today. Officials from Israel Hamas the US and 185 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.679 Katar signed the agreement in Doha today. A siaf Hussein 186 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:50.200 of the food aid group SKT Welfare says aid trucks 187 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.639 are ready to move in when the deal is signed. 188 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.440 We have trucks lined up near the Jordanian border ready 189 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:56.879 to go in. 190 00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:59.679 Only last week high volunteers go over from the UK 191 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.120 huck food parcels. 192 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.080 As many as six hundred trucks per day could be 193 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.080 allowed into the Gaza Strip once the ceasefire and hostage 194 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.360 deal goes into effect. Two American hostages are expected to 195 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.120 be released in the first phase of the Israel Hamas 196 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:18.639 cesfire deal. The first phase we'll see the release of civilians, children, 197 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:23.639 the elderly and wounded hostages, and it would be expected 198 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.000 to go into effect on Sunday Most. 199 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:33.720 Ten nine eight, seven, six five four three. 200 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:39.080 SpaceX's Starship Rocket has been destroyed in a launch in Texas. 201 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:42.720 The spacecraft's six engines appeared to shut down one by 202 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:47.879 one yesterday with contact loss just about nine minutes into 203 00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:52.519 the flight. SpaceX called the failure a rapid unscheduled disassembly. 204 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:57.039 The spacecraft was carrying ten dummy satellites to practice releasing them. 205 00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:00.360 A minute before the craft broke up, SpaceX used the 206 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:04.080 launch tower's giant mechanical arm to catch the returning booster. 207 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.799 SpaceX founder Elon Musk later posted video of the falling 208 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:13.279 debris on X, saying success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed. 209 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.440 President Biden says Republican led states did a poor job 210 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.960 handling their economies during the COVID nineteen pandemic. 211 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.440 Red states really screwed up in terms of the way 212 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.519 they handle their economy and the way they handle manufacturing, 213 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.519 the way they handle access to supply chains. 214 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:34.320 Biden told MSNBC, Democrats could have done better selling their 215 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:35.879 accomplishments to voters. 216 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.639 I almost spent too much time on the policy, not 217 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.080 enough time on the politics. 218 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.600 Biden also says his administration invested more federal dollars into 219 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:54.519 Red States than Democrat led states. One of the coolest 220 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.679 theme songs, the director of Twin Peaks and the Original 221 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.840 Dune in nineteen eighty four Or has died. David Lynch's 222 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.360 family announced his death on Facebook, saying there's a big 223 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.559 hole in the world now that Lynch is no longer 224 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.519 with us. Lynch announced last year that he'd been diagnosed 225 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.399 with emphysema and couldn't direct anymore. But then after that 226 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.720 followed up and said, nah, he wasn't going to stop working. 227 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.159 He's also known for directing Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Drive, 228 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.480 which got him an Oscar nomination for Best Director in 229 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:27.279 two thousand and one. David Lynch was seventy eight. So 230 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.200 Anthony Blinken held a press conference at the State Department 231 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.720 yesterday to give an update on the Israel Hamas ceasefire agreement. 232 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.840 As you may recall, it was kind of moving along, 233 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.000 and then Benjamin Netanyah who said they hit a snag. 234 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:43.200 They said Hamas was renegging on parts of the agreement, 235 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:47.919 so they held this press agreement. Of this press availability, 236 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:51.759 Blincoln didn't give much of an update except to say 237 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.720 that they expected it would go into effect on Sunday. Well, 238 00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:00.759 what was interesting about the briefing was the disrupt during 239 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:04.399 the briefing. One of the journalists was, we'll just say 240 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:07.759 hell bent on disrupting the briefing. He interrupted Blincoln for 241 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.159 a couple of minutes early on in the press briefing, 242 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.960 and then a few minutes later he did it again. 243 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.720 Finally, I just wanted to shore this morning. 244 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.519 Get your hands off me, Get your hands off me, 245 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.879 Get your hands off me. Answer a damn question. 246 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:23.919 I look forward to answering questions in a few minutes. 247 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.240 You know, not as real sniped their weapons. Everybody from 248 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.080 the ic jank. I was sitting here quietly, and now 249 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:33.559 I think they handled by two or three people. You're 250 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:37.000 in pontificate about a free press. You pontificate about a 251 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:37.720 free press. 252 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:39.200 You're hurting me. 253 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.519 You're hurting me, you are hurting me. 254 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:45.279 I have been asking questions after being total Please Matt 255 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:46.879 Miller that he will not answer my questions. 256 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:47.480 That's how I ask. 257 00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:50.159 Please, sir, respect the brief, respect the process. 258 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.559 We'll have an opportunity to take questions in a few minutes. 259 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.480 What's at the point of the Yeah, hey, the nay 260 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.519 thirty first statements have blocked the ICJ orders. 261 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:02.919 He blocked the ICJ orders. Please sir, respect the process. 262 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:04.679 Thank you, respect the process. 263 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:09.519 Respective process. Well, everybody everybody from the from Anthony Internationals. 264 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.399 But answer Internationals the ice of day saying that as 265 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.759 well as doing tenniside an extermination and you're telling me 266 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.840 to respect the process. 267 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:19.720 Criminals, why aren't you. 268 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.960 In the Hey, why aren't you with the Hey, why 269 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:23.679 aren't you. 270 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:25.919 With the He pretty interesting to watch, and then they 271 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:29.120 literally carried him out. In this instance, I would say 272 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:34.360 I I agreed with them removing him because Blincoln did say, Hey, 273 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:35.919 we're going to take questions at the end, and he 274 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:41.360 kept interrupting, and he probably could have answered or asked 275 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.039 his questions at the end when he was done. I mean, 276 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:47.440 I don't like to see free speech squelched. And this 277 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.159 guy is a journalist you kind of have to be 278 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.360 to get into the State Department. But it was I 279 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.840 think it stole the thunder of everything else that happened 280 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.799 during that press briefing yesterday. Thirty one people are still 281 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:04.080 missing in the Palisades and Eaten fire zones. Twelve people 282 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.600 who were missing have been found safe. Thirteen others have 283 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.440 been found dead in homes and buildings destroyed in the fires. 284 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.840 The number of people who've been killed in both fires 285 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.039 remains at twenty seven. The ATF says it has one 286 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.320 hundred and fifty leads into the cause of the fire 287 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.879 in the Pacific Palisades. Acting Special Agent in charge of 288 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.960 LA's Field Division, Jose Medina, says the leads have come 289 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:29.600 from homeowners, witnesses and videos submitted to investigators. Several flights 290 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.559 near the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean had 291 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:36.200 to be diverted or delayed because of debris falling from 292 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.559 a SpaceX Starship. The Starship rocket broke up in the 293 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.519 atmosphere last night about nine minutes after launching from Texas. 294 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.799 At least eight flights to New York's JFK and to 295 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:50.840 Atlanta were impacted. Let's say good morning now to CalFire 296 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.720 Captain Kelliher. Captain Kelleher hasn't had much sleep in the 297 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.159 last ten days. So now that the flames have been 298 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.679 tamed and the skies have cleared, people are thinking that 299 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.039 the fires are out, but they're not. So I wanted 300 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.039 to talk to you so we can understand what work 301 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.840 still needs to be done. So can you tell us 302 00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:11.639 as we work to get containment of these fires, what 303 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:13.080 exactly does that mean. 304 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.480 So, what we're trying to do is have a line 305 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.240 all the way around the fire that is in from 306 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.159 the burn line, where it's clear and there are no 307 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.440 hot spots all the way around the fire. It's like 308 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.679 a fuel break where there's no active fires. There's no smoldering, 309 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.519 there's nothing. So that's what we're working on right now. 310 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.200 And you know, this fire is at twenty three seven 311 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:35.519 hundred and thirteen acres and we did make a little 312 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:39.879 more progress at twenty two percent containment, and overnight that 313 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.919 fire stayed within that footprint. So that's great news right there. 314 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.639 Yeah, it actually hasn't grown for a couple of days. 315 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:50.159 Right that. Yeah, we've we've done our We've done our job. 316 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.000 As far as those air assets in the sky have 317 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.399 really done an incredible job, you know, painting the hill 318 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.120 with the fire retardant and pre treating those hillsides out 319 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.000 in front of the fire. They really wanted to make 320 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.840 sure they got ahead of that before the winds kicked 321 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:08.000 out the night four and that really helped dramatically. And 322 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.720 so yeah, the strategies and tactics are working to keep 323 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.039 this fire from going anywhere. They're in there with the 324 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:16.319 hand crews and the doser teams and the real hard, 325 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:19.400 kind of heavy arduous work in there, just you know, 326 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:22.359 getting in those areas and making sure there are no 327 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:25.079 hotspots with the hose and there'll be a lot of 328 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:28.119 work because this is such a large fire right. 329 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.319 And what about the helicopters. Are those still being used. 330 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.559 As of right now? Not at the moment. Because there 331 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:37.079 is no active flame, that doesn't mean that a fire 332 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.039 isn't smoldering, but that really is about the ground crews 333 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:41.680 doing their job. 334 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:43.839 Okay, so that was going to be my next question, 335 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:48.359 Captain Kellerher You said there's no active flame, but there 336 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.160 are hot spots and what's defined as a hot spot. 337 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.160 So remember so few moistures are critically low, and our 338 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.880 vegetation is extremely dry and receptive to you know fire, 339 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.079 a lot that burns. You've got these you know, huge 340 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.599 and massive trees and shrubs and things like that, and 341 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.480 something can smolder in that mulch and still be hot. 342 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.160 And you know that's that's the thing that we've got 343 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:15.640 to make sure we turn everything over when as you 344 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.480 look out you'll see something smoking, just a light smoke 345 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:21.559 or just a low ember though those are all the 346 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:23.920 things that they're going in there, turning all that over, 347 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:26.880 getting it down deep, getting water on it, so it 348 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.119 doesn't have the potential should a wind kick back up, 349 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.119 should anything else like that happen. That's what that means. 350 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.359 Okay, And how do you find the hotspots just looking 351 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:37.799 at them, or do you have material. 352 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.000 Boat Yeah, a little of both. You know, when you 353 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:42.880 walk in there, you can see it, especially in the morning. 354 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:46.319 You can see those little smoldering, little little smoke little 355 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:48.640 columns are small like you know, but you can see them. 356 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:50.480 But then on top of that, we do have our 357 00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:53.599 our drone team out there and they're doing infrared shots 358 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:55.400 so they can also see It's like, hey, we got 359 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:57.799 we've got a hot area over here. There's a spot, 360 00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.319 and so they'll radio that down to the trees that 361 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:01.680 are on the ground and they'll go get. 362 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:03.319 It, okay. And then do we have any kind of 363 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:08.160 idea when you might have the fire surrounded or contained. 364 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:11.799 I don't have that number. You can kind of look 365 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.920 at pass fires and kind of march out the timeline 366 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:17.480 and some of these big fires when the weather cooperates 367 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.839 and stays the way that the weather is right now, 368 00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:24.079 which is in totally our favor. But actually I don't 369 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.839 have that timeline. But you know, they're working as hard 370 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:28.519 as fast as We've got crews on the ground that 371 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:33.039 are refreshed, they're fresh in today, Spirits are high, morale 372 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.319 is up. Everybody knows the mission and they're doing an 373 00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:36.119 incredible job. 374 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:39.680 Any parting words for anyone who's listening, because I know 375 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:43.240 that we are still mesmerized by this tragedy and just 376 00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:45.160 so thankful for all the work that you guys are doing. 377 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.359 You can let your listeners know we just couldn't be 378 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.039 more touched by the outpouring of support, not only for 379 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:53.880 the firefighters, because we've been here all hours of the 380 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:55.759 day and night, and things keep showing up at the 381 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.599 right time when we need it. But we're well taken 382 00:19:57.640 --> 00:19:59.599 care of now. I feel like we've got what we 383 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.359 need and the focus should really be on the residents 384 00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:05.240 that have lost everything. And we're grateful for the generous 385 00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:06.759 spirit of everybody. 386 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.279 It's been heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time and 387 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:12.240 a beautiful thing to see. 388 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.640 Yeah, it's crazy, right, but thank you guys for all 389 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:15.920 your support. We really appreciate it. 390 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:20.039 All right, thank you Captain Kellerher. Isn't that funny they're 391 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:25.359 thanking us? Yeah, what an amazing job they're doing. But 392 00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.480 I wanted to get that information from Captain Kellerher because 393 00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:32.519 you know, you're not clear on exactly what is containment, 394 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:34.799 what is a hot spot? And I think just knowing 395 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:37.079 that helps me and helps you make sense of it 396 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:38.920 a little bit. Good news that we've got some of 397 00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.960 the evacuation orders lifted. And if you want to know 398 00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:45.119 if your neighborhood is part of that, or a friend's 399 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.359 neighborhood is part of that, it's at recovery dot La 400 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.119 County dot gov.
