WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.919 on the iHeartRadio app. Big story today, of course, is 4 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.679 this plane crash. The collision between an American Airlines regional 5 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:17.480 jet on its way in from Wichita, Kansas, that colliding 6 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.280 with an Army helicopter over the Potomac River just just next. 7 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:22.960 To Reaga National Airport last night. 8 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.559 Air traffic controllers had warned the helicopter it was on 9 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:31.600 course to collide with the jet. This helicopter then hit 10 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.759 the bombardier plane operated by an American Airlines subsidiarias approaching 11 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.359 for landing at Reaga National. There was a fireball explosion 12 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.200 that was visible. Many different videos have shown this already, 13 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.320 and I wouldn't be surprised if we see many, many more, 14 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.240 just based on the fact that there are so many 15 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.320 cameras in Washington, d C. 16 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:52.520 And the surrounding area. 17 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.920 After this explosion, both of the aircraft landed into the 18 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.119 Potomac River. You hear on some of the air traffic 19 00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:05.640 control tapes gasps in the background. People who had witnessed 20 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:11.439 this thing firsthand from the tower confirmation hearings continue today. 21 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.079 RFK Junior goes from the Finance Committee in the Senate 22 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:15.920 to today's Help Committee. 23 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.120 Health is one of the things. Cash Ptel nominated to 24 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:19.480 take over. 25 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.079 The FBI, goes before the Judiciary Committee, and Tulci Gabbard 26 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.840 has been answering questions about Basha Assad, about Edward Snowden. 27 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.079 She is before the Intelligence Committee. All of that continues 28 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.560 to go on in DC today. We'll talk a little 29 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.480 bit more about a DC issue. At the top of 30 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.239 the hour, we get into Swamp Watch, and that will 31 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.519 include President Trump's plan to use GITMO as a place 32 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.760 to hold illegal alien criminals who were taken out of 33 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.879 the country. So back here at home, the fire cleanup continues, 34 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.920 and as we get through what will be some very 35 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.560 very difficult months and probably a couple of years of 36 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.400 clean up and rebuild. We got to figure out what 37 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.000 caused these fires in the first place. And there are 38 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.000 two very different tracks for the two largest fires that 39 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.680 we're talking about, the Eton Fire over in Altadena and 40 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.919 the Palisades Fire over Pacific Palisades. The more information that 41 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.520 comes out about the Eton fire, the more it looks 42 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:24.759 like this was power lines that caused this massive and 43 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.039 incredibly destructive, deadly fire. In fact, sorry, The New York 44 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:35.520 Times has an article today that talks with Whisker Labs, 45 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.800 Bob Marshall's co founder, a chief executive of Whisker Labs. 46 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.479 Whisker Labs has a bunch of censors that are installed 47 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.360 in homes around the country measuring abnormal activity on the 48 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:51.439 electrical grid. And he describes something Bob Marshall does. He 49 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.719 described something that happened the night of January seventh, when 50 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.039 the Eton fire started, that I've never heard described before. 51 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:06.719 Moments before the fire actually erupted near transmission towers up 52 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.280 in the hills above Altadena, some high voltage power lines 53 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:15.159 faulted in that area. About three seconds after that fault, 54 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.479 another major fault registered right near Altadena. And in fact, 55 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.199 this is the part that I've never heard before. The 56 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:30.639 two electrical disruptions along those transmission lines were so powerful 57 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:37.319 that they reverberated as far away as Oregon and Utah. 58 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.120 And again they could tell because Whisker Labs has a 59 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.960 bunch of these sensors installed in people's homes around the country. 60 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.919 And even Bob Marshall, who does this for a living, says, 61 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.840 we looked at this one, and it was Holy cow. 62 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.400 This is a transmission scale event. Anytime something happens on 63 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.879 the grid and we see a fault at exactly the 64 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.159 same time on many many sensors, than it is a 65 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.520 fault on the utility grid. Those faults occurred at six 66 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:09.479 ten PM and six eleven PM. Remember earlier, a few 67 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.120 days ago, one of the law firms had put out 68 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.560 surveillance video that appeared to show flashes. 69 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:21.560 In the vicinity of those transmission lines that would coincide. 70 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.120 The flashes on the video would coincide with the timing 71 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.839 of the faults that were detected by Whisker Labs. The 72 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:36.360 data from Whisker Labs is at this point coincidental. There's 73 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.439 no way to prove that what they saw on their 74 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.720 electrical sensors started that fire in the hills above Altadena, 75 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.399 but when you have that much evidence that points to 76 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:55.000 that location at that time, it's hard to not draw 77 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:55.800 that conclusion. 78 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:58.360 You combine all of that. 79 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.839 With the eyewitness accounts, the people who saw this firsthand 80 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.079 cell phone video of the fire that's shown up between 81 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.800 beneath a set of three of those towers, those big 82 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.000 lat steel lattice towers. The flashes at the gas station 83 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:16.439 the transmission line owned by so Cal Edison. Edison at 84 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.079 this point has not conceded that its equipment caused the 85 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.879 eaton FI. Of course they haven't. They're not going to 86 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.160 come out until they're forced to come out and say so. 87 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.920 But they do say that they are conducting their own investigation, 88 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.079 and Edison, to its credit, has agreed to meet with 89 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.000 Whisker Labs about the data as part of its review. 90 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:42.000 Could take months for them to figure this out, but 91 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.279 once again, even more evidence that those flashes in the 92 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.720 hills above Altadena just after six o'clock on January seventh 93 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:55.680 were probably power lines going down or arcing, sparking and 94 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.839 then starting the fire beneath them. Now, the Palisades fire 95 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.959 is very different story. It was windy that day, was 96 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.120 earlier in the day January seventh, and we were on 97 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.879 the air when it happened. But two leading theories have 98 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.759 come out about exactly what happened. One of the things 99 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:16.800 I said the day that the Palisades fire started was 100 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.879 that it reminded me of the fire in the Oakland 101 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.720 Hills back in nineteen ninety one, and one of those 102 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.079 theories tracks with that description. Of what happened in the 103 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.639 Oakland Hills. Shannon's out today's getting her teeth fixed. Don't 104 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.839 worry about it a little. Some dentist was able to 105 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:39.079 finally fit her in so she can get her tooth fixed, 106 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.879 so she can come back all better tomorrow. Another rain 107 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.240 event coming to southern California. National Weather Service forecasting a 108 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.839 minor to moderate rain event in La in Ventura Counties 109 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.600 next week from Tuesday through Thursday. Quarter of an inch 110 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.759 to an inch expected Tuesday through Thursday. 111 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:54.759 Rainfall could be. 112 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.199 A little higher in the mountains and the hills, potentially 113 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.600 totaling one to two inches. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean 114 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.639 an then to fire season, but it does mean that 115 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.519 there is some relief. And I mentioned we're talking last 116 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:12.199 segment about the investigation into what caused the Eaten fire 117 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.959 in the hills above Altadena. It started on January seventh, 118 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.879 and it looks more and more like it was power 119 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:26.439 lines that may have faulted come down something in the 120 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.519 hills above Altadena that eventually that fire was pushed down 121 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.600 by the winds into the neighborhoods there. As for the 122 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:39.560 Palisades fire, there's an interesting problem with the investigation into 123 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.360 what started the Palisades fire. It started also January seventh, 124 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.959 but it was at about ten fifteen in the morning, 125 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.439 and that was just a short time before we were 126 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.360 notified about it, right about ten thirty people driving along Pcight. 127 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.800 Somebody had actually called us and left us a talkback 128 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.360 message that said that they could see smoke coming from 129 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.800 the hills above the Palisades, and that started obviously what 130 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.319 became a couple of weeks of waldewall coverage here on 131 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.000 KFI about both of those fires. Well, for the last 132 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:12.399 couple of weeks, a team of investigators from the US 133 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.439 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives has been 134 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.720 working out of command post in the neighborhood of Pacific 135 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:23.199 Palisades and that Highlands neighborhood, and there is a pretty 136 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:29.680 popular hiking trail, the Skull Rock trailhead, where they believe 137 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:37.480 that the fire started. And there's only two real good 138 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.399 theories right now about what started the fire. The first 139 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.720 one is it's human caused, somebody cigarette fireworks something like that. 140 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:51.919 January seventh, the morning of extremely windy the fire starts 141 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.399 and gets out of control. The other one, the other 142 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.879 theory that they're looking at is that somehow an almost 143 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:07.279 weak old fire that actually started on January first was 144 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.600 able to reignite. And I know that sounds weird, but 145 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.279 the LA Fire Department was called into that area, the 146 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.600 hillside above Pacific Palisades on January first. This would have 147 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:26.240 been seventeen minutes after midnight January first, and a home 148 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.720 about two blocks away from that Skull Rock trailhead was 149 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:31.960 the homeowner, I should say about two blocks away was 150 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.000 the one who first called the fire in said that 151 00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.120 they could see the flames and smell the smoke, and 152 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.320 at this point somebody, an investigator, an anonymous investigator has 153 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.399 told the La Times that they believe that that fire, 154 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:50.759 that January first fire, was sparked by fireworks. Initially, I've 155 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.120 seen this unfortunately before. But initially they could not put 156 00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.240 helicopters in the air because of the wind. But at 157 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.639 about one four in the morning, they started doing an 158 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.080 aerial attack support a cruise on the ground. TV cameras 159 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.639 were there caught the whole thing just about three point thirty, 160 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.919 so about three hours, three plus hours after the fire 161 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.480 was first reported. They said that they had stopped the 162 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.519 forward progress of the fire Now, what happens then, is 163 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.840 they don't just pack up and leave, Even on a 164 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.879 fire that's that small, relatively small, they don't just pack up. 165 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.679 A little over an hour after the forward progress is stopped. 166 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.120 Lapd says they completed the hose line around the perimeter. 167 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:36.879 Some of the firefighters stayed there for thirty six hours. 168 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.159 Someone was on scene for thirty six hours after that 169 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:45.279 fire was considered stopped. And in fact, they do a 170 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:50.279 cold trailing operation there. Crews literally feel for any heat 171 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.320 that might be lingering along the edge of the fire. 172 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.039 They'll dig out any hotspot that they find. They trenched 173 00:10:55.080 --> 00:11:00.200 the live edges make sure that nothing flares up. The 174 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:05.399 idea then that the January seventh fire was somehow a 175 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.600 remnant of that New Year's Day fire is pretty far fetched, 176 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:15.159 but it is possible. The LA Fire Department has not 177 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.519 yet said whether or not they did any sort of 178 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.639 thermal imaging of the area after that New Year's Day 179 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.240 fire to make sure that there were no hotspots. A 180 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.879 lot of times, agencies like that do use thermal imaging 181 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:33.399 during fires after fires to find the hotspots when there's 182 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.840 no visible light or in conditions when it's a heavy 183 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.039 smog or mist or something like that. And the idea 184 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.879 that this fire, somehow, the Palisades fire, was a remnant 185 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.519 of that New Year's Day fire is slim. The chances 186 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:53.200 of it are very slim, but it is still a possibility, 187 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.240 and that's one of the things that they're looking at. 188 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:57.919 ATF says they want to have a report on the 189 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.440 cause of the Palisades fire sometime within the next sixty days. 190 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.399 That would be considerably faster than the massive fire that 191 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.440 burned on the island of Maui from twenty twenty three 192 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.759 that took about a year. And it may depend on 193 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.080 whether or not they need to have more tests back 194 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.720 at the fire lab that the ATF has in Maryland. 195 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.200 And the other thing is this is. 196 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:25.600 It's hard for them to a find the source of ignition. 197 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.080 Where did this thing actually start? Where was the one 198 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.559 point on those hills in the above the Palisades where 199 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.559 this thing actually started, and is it within the fire 200 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.519 perimeter of that New Year's Day fire? That maybe there 201 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.879 was something that continued to smolder for seven days and 202 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:44.879 then the high winds that we saw on the morning 203 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.320 of January seventh blew this thing into a fire. But 204 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.879 I mentioned the Oakland Hills fire. It is possible for 205 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.480 a fire like that to rekindle after several days, maybe 206 00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.840 even months. The Oakland Hills Fire ninety one destroyed twenty 207 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:07.720 five hundred different structures. It came a few days after 208 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.919 there was a small six acre fire in that same area. 209 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.559 Firefighters did have engines there. They weren't constantly looking at 210 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:20.519 that six acre fire that they had put out, or 211 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.279 they thought they put out. But when the winds picked 212 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:27.000 up again a couple of days later, that's when the 213 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.399 Oakland Hills fire really erupted and caused all the damage 214 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.080 from a fire that they thought had been out completely. 215 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.480 All right, Up next, a little bit more about what's 216 00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:40.000 going on for the rain forecast, and it's eagle time. 217 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:47.840 The eagles we're talking Keiana respect Keana suggested that this 218 00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.559 may be Southern California's Groundhog Day. They were doing this 219 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.080 whole eagle egg watch thing over and over and over 220 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.279 and expecting different results. But this one is a little 221 00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:00.000 different because now we have three eggs. I guess why 222 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.600 passengers on that flight included a bunch of teenage figure skaters. 223 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.399 They were headed back from the US figure skating championship 224 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:14.120 in Wichita. Their Russian coaches were also part of it. 225 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:16.679 US Figure Skating put out a statement that said that 226 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.559 several skaters, coaches and their family members were on that 227 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:23.440 flight after attending a development camp that followed the championships 228 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:29.080 that wrapped up Sunday in Wichita. Internationally, militants freed eight 229 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.480 more hostages from the Gaza Strip, and then Israel turned 230 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.399 around and released one hundred and ten Palestinian prisoners part 231 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:38.480 of the ceasefire. There was some chaos though, that took 232 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:44.200 part some of the hostages. The Hamas held hostages were 233 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:47.399 pushed through a rowdy crowd by a bunch of masked militants, 234 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:51.080 and obviously that upset Israel. The Prime Minister, as a 235 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.200 matter of fact, briefly put on hold the prisoner swap. 236 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.679 He demanded that mediators go in and make sure that 237 00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:00.320 there would be safe exits for the Israeli hostile just 238 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.279 going forward, a commitment that he said he later received. 239 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:09.840 Then later Thursday, Hamas confirmed the death of Muhammad Dif, 240 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:14.080 head of its military wing, six months after Israel City 241 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:17.000 was killed in an air strike there in southern Gaza. 242 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.120 We'll talk more about what's going on with the confirmation 243 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.879 hearings coming up, we get into swamp Watch. Also more 244 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:30.679 on President Trump's order about housing illegalalien criminals in Guantanamo Bay. 245 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.000 Sitting there, nobody's using it, so he says they'll probably 246 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.559 start planning on doing that. We are expecting another National 247 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:42.879 Transportation Safety Board update on the crash that plane versus 248 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:46.000 helicopter collision in DC, So we'll get to that and 249 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:48.600 carry some of that live when it happens. 250 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:50.080 I mentioned the fires. 251 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.279 It looks like there is another cold front off the 252 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.360 Pacific northwest that's going to bring some more rain to 253 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.559 southern California. It's expected Tuesday to Thursday of next week. 254 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.679 Although it's not a huge storm, somewhere between a quarter 255 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:04.799 of an inch, half an inch, maybe more if you're 256 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.080 a higher elevations. Not quite as heavy as we saw 257 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.639 just last weekend. Obviously, there are some people stranded in 258 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.039 the snow because the snow level is relatively low. That 259 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:17.720 prompted some flash flood warnings for parts of Malibu and 260 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:23.039 the Palisades because of the burned scar area, and then 261 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:26.240 a full closure of Topanga Canyon from pch Over to 262 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:28.480 Grand View Drive because of the mud and brief flows 263 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:32.879 that came as a result of last weekend storm. The temperatures, however, 264 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.600 warmer temperatures starting tomorrow through Sunday north of Santa Barbara. 265 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.279 You could see some light showers, they're saying. But as 266 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.440 for next week's forecast, National Weather Service said there's still 267 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:47.000 a range of outcomes where rainfall amounts the timing are concerned, 268 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.720 but there is at least some risk of moderate to 269 00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:52.480 heavy totals and intensities. 270 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:53.679 So good news. 271 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.200 Now, if you're an eagle egg, I suppose it's going 272 00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.519 to be snowy up there in the Big Bear area. 273 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:06.920 Fan of Jackie and Shadow are cheering on the chances 274 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:10.400 that are increasing that we'll see a live eagle chick 275 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:13.359 at some point. Jackie was confirmed to have laid her 276 00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:17.240 third egg this week, according to friends of Big Bear Valley. 277 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.720 They're the ones that run that live feet of Jackie 278 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:23.359 in Shadows Nest, and they said the egg came right 279 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.680 on Jackie's schedule. There's a blog post that was published 280 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.839 that says this egg laying process is almost identical to 281 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.000 the previous two and that it took less than four 282 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:35.759 months to get that final push. The blog post says 283 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:38.400 Jackie looked down and that third egg have been softly 284 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:43.160 laid down beside the other two. Her calmness continues as 285 00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.440 she gently talents tucked, stepped back to check on her 286 00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.599 eggs and almost immediately settle down on top of them, 287 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:54.279 ready to keep them warm and protected. Here's an awful 288 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:57.799 Here's an awful sentence, and if you are any sort 289 00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:01.960 of medical inclination, you will know what this means. About 290 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:05.480 fifteen minutes after she laid the egg, Jackie stood up 291 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:09.599 and rapidly shook all the trauma out of herself before 292 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:13.799 promptly settling back down on her eggs and falling asleep. 293 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.240 Shadow apparently gave her some much needed space after supplying 294 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:24.279 her with two fish and then and mating on a 295 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:27.720 nearby perch tree on Tuesday. And that means anyway, he 296 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:31.799 also had some of the nest watching. There are thousands 297 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:37.400 of people watching the live stream of these eggs, thousands, thousands, 298 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.440 which brings to mind the idea that we should be 299 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.160 doing a phone fee fresh sorry, phone free February. You 300 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:50.599 say that, phone free February. I know somebody who's not 301 00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:53.279 here today because she's getting dental work done, who has 302 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:59.079 been dry all of January and maybe phone free February 303 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:03.039 is the next way to increase your wellness. A space rock, 304 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:05.960 they say is between forty and one hundred yards wide, 305 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:11.240 spotted on Christmas Day by a telescope in Chile, is 306 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:16.839 expected to hit sometime in December of twenty thirty two. 307 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:21.519 Official estimates says there's about a one point two percent 308 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.799 chance that this Christmas asteroid code named twenty twenty four 309 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.960 y R four will hit the Earth at five twenty 310 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:33.839 five in the morning Wednesday's December twenty second, twenty thirty two. 311 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:37.000 So if you're expecting it all to burn, that may 312 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.640 be your day. It's time for our wellness segment of 313 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:44.920 the day. Oh, I'm sorry, I blew it. I didn't 314 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:46.799 know that I was going to surprise Jacob with the 315 00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:47.799 wellness segment. 316 00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.200 Don't take your head at me. 317 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:53.960 I just wanted to see how quick you were on 318 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:57.160 the trigger when you find it to play it interrupt me. 319 00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:57.680 I don't care. 320 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:02.599 Many of us of us have looked at our phones. Okay, 321 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:03.000 now play. 322 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.359 I'm feel terrible. He spends most of his day at 323 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:09.880 the office city the nation, include a variety of activities 324 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:13.519 and preferably some exercise late in the afternoon. I never 325 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:16.839 exercised a day in my line. We just got to 326 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:19.920 sit here and wait. Look done. Every morning I smoke 327 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:24.160 a cigarette and for lunch, I eat a bacon sandwich, 328 00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:27.200 and I usually drink my dinner. 329 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:31.039 It's time for Gary and Shannon's periodic Guide for Wellness 330 00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:32.400 and Personal Improvement. 331 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.559 For your health. 332 00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:38.279 Most of us have had times where we look at 333 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:40.559 our phone and realize that we've just spent an hour 334 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:42.799 on the phone and have no idea where the time went. 335 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:46.440 You go on your phone, you check a notification, you're 336 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:48.319 going to look up one thing, You're going to find 337 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.440 one little app that you need to look a I 338 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:52.000 don't know, bank account or something like that, and you 339 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.400 end up an hour on your phone, scrolling through social 340 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.519 media whatever you're doing on there. It sounds like you. 341 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.359 Here is an option phone free February Now. The guy 342 00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.119 who came up with this, Jacob warren Co, created this 343 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.559 campaign under the Global Solidarity Foundation, whatever the hell that is. 344 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.680 He's not actually asking you to drop your phone completely 345 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:17.359 for the month of February, although it is the shortest month. 346 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:19.079 He said. 347 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:21.880 The goal is simply for you to reduce your overall 348 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:27.039 smartphone usage to get you to question what you actually 349 00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.279 need your phone for. I know plenty of people who 350 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:34.640 will take apps off their take Instagram, take Twitter, off face, 351 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:38.279 whatever it is, a social media TikTok, they'll take it 352 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:43.640 off their phone because they realize they lose time when 353 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.480 they're on those apps all the time. Obviously, smartphone usage 354 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:50.720 ten years ago was nothing compared to what it is today. 355 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.880 But the vast majority of Americas three hundred and forty 356 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:58.559 million of us, the vast majority, have a smartphone, and 357 00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:01.920 we're all spending more and more time time online. About 358 00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:05.839 a third of people, a third of Americans say they 359 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:12.720 are almost constantly online on various devices, which includes their phones, iPads, computers, 360 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:16.720 whatever you want to talk about. Experts have said there 361 00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:20.319 would be huge benefits to us cutting back. There's research 362 00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:25.000 that shows that more screen time is associated with more obesity, 363 00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:29.839 more sleep problems, more mental health issues. Psychologists say they've 364 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.839 been treating a whole bunch more people who are addicted 365 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.759 to their devices. What's the likelihood Are you more likely 366 00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:41.480 to forget your wallet or your phone? I mean, that's 367 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:44.839 a dude thing. Maybe are you more apt to forget 368 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:49.240 your purse or your phone, or your keys or your phone. 369 00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:53.160 So many people would never leave the house without their phone. 370 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.279 I mean, think about my kids, for example, They've had 371 00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.279 this has been the way that they've lived their lives 372 00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:03.240 for the last ten or twelve years. And anybody under 373 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:05.599 the age of twenty, anybody under the age of thirty, 374 00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:10.799 probably has their phone basically sewn into their hand or pocket. 375 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.440 The good news is a lot of the harmful effects 376 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:17.279 that come from smartphone usage like this, they say would 377 00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:22.359 be reversible. Jennifer Margaret Kesenstein is the director of psychology, 378 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.240 neuropsychology and Social Work JOHNS Hopkins and says reducing your 379 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.640 cell phone use by just one hour a day can 380 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.119 have a huge impact on your quality of life and 381 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:35.119 the levels of depression that you have. 382 00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:37.519 Curbing screen time. 383 00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:41.519 Is a way to make a difference rather than just 384 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:44.359 go in cold turkey, because a lot of people it's 385 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.960 not realistic for them. You use your phone for work, 386 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:51.000 you use your phone for staying in touch with family members, etc. 387 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.079 But using a device for things like scrolling through social media, 388 00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:58.359 texting friends, playing games causes the brain to release dopamine. 389 00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:01.960 Obviously that makes us feel pleasure or time. Our brains 390 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:07.240 actually develop a dopamine tolerance. You need more game, more 391 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.039 social media, or you need it longer to feel that 392 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:14.160 same amount of pleasure. And obviously when you do that 393 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:17.160 over and over again, that can lead to an addiction. 394 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:19.559 And if you're not sure if you're spending too much 395 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.359 time on your phone, go into your settings, look at 396 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:27.319 your average daily screen time and when you see that, 397 00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:30.599 it will probably blow you away. I happen to have 398 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:32.680 that alert that comes on every Sunday morning. I think 399 00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:35.960 it's Sunday morning. It's either Saturday or Sunday morning. And 400 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.680 what they do is what the phone does is it 401 00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:42.039
