It's the first TGIF of 8 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.840 twenty twenty five. Although I don't know if this is 9 00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:44.880 this way for you, if it feels weird because we 10 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.799 had the holiday in the middle of the week and 11 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.759 I'm getting emails for people saying I love this split peak, 12 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.479 and I think will Cole Schreiber said, I love a 13 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.159 two day work week. Uh, how you do you love it? 14 00:00:58.640 --> 00:00:58.840 Oh? 15 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.840 Yeah, Well that's all over. The holidays are done. We're 16 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.920 back to the five day work week starting on Monday. 17 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:07.879 And I just saw that lausd kids go back to 18 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.159 school on Monday, too, So the fun is over. We 19 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.280 got a lot going on on wake up calls, so 20 00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.640 let's get right to it. Here's what's ahead. A pilot 21 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.879 and his sixteen year old daughter been killed in a 22 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.200 small plane crash. The plane crashed into the roof of 23 00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.439 a furniture warehouse yesterday afternoon. Nineteen people were hurt, ten 24 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.640 were taken to the hospital. More than twenty members of 25 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.640 Jose and Kitty Menendez's family and others will be meeting 26 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.959 with La County DA Nathan Hawkman today to make their 27 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.400 case for re sentencing of the Menendez brothers. The group 28 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.280 says resentencing would reflect Eric and Lyle's abuse, trauma, and 29 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.760 rehabilitation during their thirty five years in prison for killing 30 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.680 their parents in nineteen eighty nine. The one hundred and 31 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.920 nineteenth US Congress will be sworn in this afternoon, but 32 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.959 first they have to elect a new House speaker. It's 33 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.400 not clear for public and Mike Johnson has the votes 34 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.079 needed to reach his position. We're gonna find out what 35 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.599 Johnson needs to do to keep the gabble and whether 36 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.120 he can keep it with kfi's White House correspondent John Decker. 37 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.240 That's coming up in about three minutes. Let's get started 38 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:13.879 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI 39 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.759 twenty four hour newsroom. Two people have been killed when 40 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.080 a small plane crashed into a building near the Fullerton Airport. 41 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.159 Beliefs say there were about two hundred workers inside the 42 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.560 furniture warehouse on Raymer Avenue in the plane crashed through 43 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.479 the roof yesterday afternoon. Jerome Cruz, who works there, says 44 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.479 all he saw was a fireball in black smoke before 45 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.000 everyone was told to get out West Wesker. 46 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.039 We don't know what's going on, and when we came 47 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.199 out of please tell us that it's a plane at 48 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:42.000 the top of the roof. 49 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.719 It's believed the pilot and his teenage daughter were the 50 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.840 only people on the single engine plane. NTSB Aviation Accident 51 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:53.080 investigator Elliott Simpson says the pilot reported he needed to 52 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.039 return to the airport about ninety seconds after takeoff. 53 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.479 Ultimately crashed about one thousand feet short of runway two, 54 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.280 full finiture building and immediately caught fire. 55 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.960 Nineteen people were hurt, more than ten of them were 56 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.479 taken to the hospital. Two days after a mass murderer 57 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.520 killed fourteen people on Bourbon Street, the French Quarter in 58 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.800 New Orleans has come back to life. ABC's Jim Ryan 59 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.800 says it had been quiet there since Wednesday. 60 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.719 After the terror attack. Law enforcers from various agencies nearly 61 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.840 outnumber the tourists in the French Quarter at Louisiana. Governor 62 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:27.280 Jeff Landry observed. 63 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.400 This is one of the safest places on Earth. 64 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.759 Thursday night, the public took him at his word. 65 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.199 Federal, state, and law A local law enforcement officials say 66 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.360 so far they haven't found any co conspirators who might 67 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.560 have helped the man who drove his pickup into the 68 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.680 crowd of New Year's Eve revelers. We're going to talk 69 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.919 more with ABC's Jim Ryan find out the latest from 70 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.039 New Orleans that's coming up at five twenty. Authorities in 71 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.919 Las Vegas are still going through the personal history of 72 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.080 Matthew Leibelsberger or Livelsburger, the man who blew up a 73 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.879 rented Tesla cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel on New 74 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.039 Year's Day. ABC's Mola Lange says the motive is still 75 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:05.520 not clear. 76 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.280 He was a master sergeant in the Green Berets If 77 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.240 authorities say that he was on approved leave from his 78 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.919 current active duty posting at his base in Germany at 79 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.680 the time of the deadly incident. 80 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.360 He says. Littelsberger's wife told authorities that he'd been out 81 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.680 of the house in Colorado Springs since Christmas, following a 82 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.000 dispute over infidelity. A lot of renters in LA are 83 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.399 about to pay more in rent. Owners of rent controlled 84 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.399 properties can high rents up to four percent. Non rent 85 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.639 controlled properties could see rents go up by eight percent. 86 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.240 Landlords can add an additional two percent to the monthly 87 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.720 rent if they cover utilities as well. Let's say good 88 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.759 morning now to kfi's White House correspondent John Decker. Good 89 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.920 morning and happy New year, John, Happy new year. 90 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:55.560 To you two Amy, Thanks for having me on today. 91 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.720 Okay, so Congress comes back today. First order of business 92 00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.639 is to elect a House Speaker. 93 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.560 That's right, easier said than done, though, because of the 94 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:10.319 very narrow majority that House Republicans have in the one 95 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:15.120 hundred and nineteenth Congress. Already one House Republican has indicated 96 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.000 publicly they will not support Mike Johnson. They will not 97 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:22.160 vote for Mike Johnson. And because of that very narrow majority, 98 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.959 Mike Johnson, if he wants to be the next Speaker 99 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.600 of the House to be re elected to that position, 100 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.560 he can only afford to lose one additional Republican vote 101 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.879 given that every Democrat will be voting for their candidate, 102 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.040 and that's Haakeem Jeffrey so the vote takes place noon 103 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.720 Eastern time today, and it's still not known at this 104 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.079 point whether or not Mike Johnson will have the votes 105 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.759 on the first round to be the next Speaker of 106 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:50.240 the House of Representatives. 107 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.639 Okay, so let's play with the numbers a little bit, because, 108 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.120 like you said that, it's such a narrow majority because, well, 109 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.800 for one, because President elect Trump pulled a couple of 110 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.000 people from Congress to put him in his administration. 111 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:05.600 That's right. 112 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:09.319 And you've also had an individual named Matt Gates, a 113 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:14.879 former congressman from Florida who has left Congress resigned his seat. 114 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.959 That seat still needs to be filmed. Another person that 115 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:22.560 you're alluding to, a least Deffanic who has been nominated 116 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.240 by Donald Trump to be the next US Ambassador to 117 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.920 the United Nations. So that's another reason why, at least 118 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.560 in the first three months of the new year, before 119 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.879 special elections take place, Republicans have such a narrow majority. 120 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.160 Okay, Now, so one has already said nope, not going 121 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:47.079 to vote for you, and then are others mostly falling 122 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:51.160 in line or is there a group that's kind of 123 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.360 being noncommittal or what's that picture looking like? 124 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.199 Here's what the picture is looking like. 125 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.879 Most House Republicans are going to vote for Mike Johnson 126 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.240 on the first round, but there are eight House Republicans 127 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.920 in particular who have not declared publicly how they're going 128 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.800 to vote, and they're not satisfied with the way that 129 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.680 Mike Johnson has run the House of Representatives for a 130 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.360 variety of reasons. It really depends upon the member. For 131 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.680 some it's concessions that they believe he's made to Democrats. 132 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.319 For others, it's his support or continued financial support for 133 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.079 Ukraine in its fight against Russia. The members we're talking 134 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:34.079 about include Andy Biggs of Arizona, Tim Burchett from Tennessee, 135 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:39.600 Eric Burlison from Missouri, Andy Harris from Maryland, and then 136 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.199 you also have Ralph Norman from South Carolina, Scott Perry 137 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:48.800 from Pennsylvania, Chip Roy from Texas, and Victorious Sparks, she's 138 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:53.959 from Indiana. Each of those members likely has been contacted 139 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.519 by President e like Donald Trump over the course of 140 00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.680 the past forty eight hours trying to twist their arm, 141 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.920 trying to get them to support Mike Johnson. And we'll 142 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.879 see how that vote goes. Whether that you know, Full 143 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.720 Court Press has been effective by Mike Johnson and his 144 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.519 team to secure the necessary votes to be the next 145 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:13.399 Speaker of the House. 146 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.959 Okay, and you mentioned that the President elect is probably 147 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.600 going to be doing making some phone calls. Did his 148 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:23.639 endorsement a few days ago? Does that help or is 149 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.079 it a non issue? 150 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.559 Well, it doesn't hurt for some members, it's a non issue, 151 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.559 you know. I mean a lot of these members come 152 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:41.320 from very safe Republican districts. Their constituents like them, they 153 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.720 like the way they vote, they're supportive of them. Thomas Massey, 154 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.879 who's already said he's not voting for Mike Johnson, is 155 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:53.720 beloved in his district in Kentucky. So it really depends 156 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.159 upon the member and whether or not they feel that 157 00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:01.240 a threat of a primary challenge is a real threat 158 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.120 to them and their political well being. 159 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.639 So, john what does Mike Johnson himself do today? Is 160 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:10.840 he making phone calls or is he just kind of 161 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.480 waiting for the first vote. 162 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.919 No, he's been making phone calls. He's been doing that. 163 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.879 And he met with President elect Donald Trump on election 164 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.679 Day at mar A Lago, trying to demonstrate that there 165 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:29.480 is strong support coming from the President elect for his candidacy. 166 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:34.639 It's important that Republicans have a House speaker for this reason. 167 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.919 That's upcoming, and that's January sixth, that's the certification date 168 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.919 for the presidential election. You cannot have that certification process 169 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.600 on January sixth, Amy, unless you have a House speaker. 170 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.360 So you know, I think it's going to happen. I 171 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.080 can't tell you if it's going to be the first 172 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.559 round or if it's going to be like it was 173 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.320 with Kevin McCarthy on the fifteenth round. But I think 174 00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.480 that by the end of the day today we should 175 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:03.600 have a House speaker. It's likely to be Mike Johnson, 176 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.240 but likely doesn't mean definitively going to be Mike Johnson. 177 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.159 That's why the vote that will take place today is 178 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.559 really going to be interesting. When I read through those 179 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.759 names of people that are on the fence that are 180 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:18.399 non committal, I read those names alphabetically because that's the 181 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.639 way the vote takes place, and if you're following along 182 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.360 as the vote takes place, you can get a sense 183 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.559 about how things are going for Mike Johnson. 184 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.120 Gotcha? And are any other names being floated? Are we 185 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.519 hearing anything besides Mike Johnson? 186 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:36.360 Amy, there's no Plan B. 187 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.320 But keep in mind, when Kevin McCarthy ran for the speakership, 188 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.120 finally securing the speakership on the fifteenth round, there wasn't 189 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.679 a Plan B, nor was there a Plan B when 190 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.080 he was ousted, and then Mike Johnson sort of appeared 191 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.519 out of nowhere. You know, one name that I hear 192 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:59.080 often from some Republicans is Jim Jordan from Ohio. 193 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:00.720 So could that be a Plan B? 194 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.879 Perhaps? But I think that Mike Johnson actually has more 195 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:08.000 support within the House Republican conference right now than Jim 196 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.159 Jordan does, and that's why I say he is likely 197 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.000 to be the next Speaker of the House. 198 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.960 Okay, and then one final question, John, I'm always so 199 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:23.200 fascinated with all the gamesmanship of politics. If there is 200 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.679 no speaker elected today, we're just playing the what if game. 201 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.559 If there was no speaker today and then the election 202 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.919 couldn't be certified on Monday as it's supposed to, So 203 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.960 would they just delay it or does that cause some 204 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.720 sort of a crisis if it doesn't happen on January sixth? 205 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.879 Well, it's interesting, you know, if you're want to play 206 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.320 this game out, and it's fun to play these games out, 207 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.960 know how, Speaker when January twentieth comes around, think about that, 208 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:58.240 no certification of the presidential election, then there is constitutionally 209 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:01.919 a person who would assume the presidency. It's not Joe Biden, 210 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.600 by the way, it's the person who is the most 211 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:10.000 senior Republican in the US Senate. It's Chuck Grassley, who 212 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.879 is even older than Joe Biden. So if you want 213 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:14.879 to play that out, that's the way that would play out. 214 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.720 Okay, but we're not thinking that's probably going to happen 215 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:19.720 by Lake, We're. 216 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:21.080 Not thinking that's probable. That's right. 217 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:22.840 Yeah, I think that you're going to have the speaker 218 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:24.519 by the end of the day today. 219 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.519 I can't tell you how many rounds it's going to go. 220 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.840 I could never have predicted it would have taken fifteen 221 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:32.679 rounds for Kevin McCarthy to win the speakership. Matt Gates 222 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:34.840 is no longer in the House, so you know, if 223 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.919 he wants to play some mischief, he's not there anymore 224 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.320 to play any mischief. But we'll see what happens with 225 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.159 those nine members that I mentioned and what they ultimately 226 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:47.399 do when the vote takes place in just a few hours. 227 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.679 Okay, and we'll be watching and then we'll talk to 228 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:52.960 you again very soon. Kfi's White House correspondent, John Decker, 229 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.879 thanks so much for the time and information this morning. 230 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:57.759 Thanks Amy, have a great day and a great weekend. 231 00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:59.440 By But let's get back to some of the stories 232 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.480 coming out of the twenty four hour newsroom.

Fifty other 235 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:14.399 former patients have already sued, claiming the doctor sexually abused them. 236 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.759 This is the third lawsuit filed against doctor Barry Brock 237 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:21.799 and Cedar Sideye Medical Medical Center. Brock was a doctor 238 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.600 for more than forty years. The lawsuit claims Cedars knew 239 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.879 about the abuse and covered it up. Authorities are expected 240 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.200 to announce charges against a man in connection with the 241 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.840 shooting of two security guards outside of Target at am 242 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.799 All in downtown LA.

Monday, 304 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:50.279 went to go see a friend for New Year's and 305 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.200 actually it was so much fun. We went up to 306 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.480 Pasa robles or robe lists depending on how you want 307 00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.240 to pronounce it. But I was listening to the radio 308 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:01.799 station Impasa robles or robe and it was said both ways. 309 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:03.360 I'm like, you guys need to make up your mind. 310 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.200 It's your hometown. Anyway. 311 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:05.680 They do. 312 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.319 They have like an old fashioned town square and there's 313 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:10.920 shops and restaurants and then there's a big park in 314 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:15.000 the middle. And they had a big bonfire and a 315 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.599 band for New Year's Eve. It was so cool and 316 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.359 it was, you know, a beautiful night chili and they 317 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.160 had the bonfire going and the music and the countdown, 318 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:25.640 and of course it's wine country, so they had wine 319 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.759 and it was a fun New Year. So yeah, but 320 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:32.039 I think maybe standing outside for two hours on New 321 00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:36.400 Year's Eve, maybe that's what ushered in this cold. We'll see. 322 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.440 Mayor Karen Bass has announced more resources will be made 323 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:43.559 available to help get homeless veterans off the streets of 324 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.920 Los Angeles and indic housing. Veterans will be able to 325 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:51.160 qualify for and receive housing vouchers as at an expedited rate. 326 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.599 More staff is also being added to help veterans in need. 327 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.880 A couple from southern California's agreed to pay ten million 328 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:04.440 dollars to settle Medicare and medical fraud case. Prosecutors say 329 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.400 the doctor and his wife submitted false health care claims 330 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:09.319 and got kickpacks. So over a period of more than 331 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:13.240 six years, the doctor founded Southern California Medical Center. His 332 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.720 wife is its CEO. The first snow survey of the 333 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.960 year shows water levels at the survey location off Highway 334 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:24.039 fifty are at ninety one percent of average. California Department 335 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.319 of Water Resources officials say a snow depth of twenty 336 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.640 four inches was recorded. That's nine inches of water. Statewide, 337 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.880 the snowpack is one hundred and eight percent of average 338 00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.480 for this time. At six oh five, it's Handle on 339 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.480 the news. But it's not Handle. It's Wayne Resnick. One 340 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:42.559 more day today, he's retiring. Can you believe that? I 341 00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:46.119 know Will Aus his mic off, but he's booing in 342 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.920 the background. Yeah, so you'll get to hear Wayne one 343 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.000 more time today. So stick around for that Handle on 344 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.079 the news starts at six oh five. Right now, let's 345 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.880 say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim, it's been 346 00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:59.960 two days now since a man ran down and killed 347 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:02.279 people along Bourbon Street. What have we learned? 348 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:04.759 Well, I think twenty four hours ago you and I 349 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:08.079 were talking Amy about the possibility, maybe the likelihood that 350 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.640 more people were involved. Twenty four hours later, the FBI 351 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.000 says that shamsu din Jabbar acted by himself, and he 352 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.359 acted alone and when he drove that four one fifty 353 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:21.640 pickup truck down Bourbon Street, killing fourteen before he was 354 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:26.400 shot by police. I think a lot of the initial 355 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.400 maybe confusion came because witnesses had said that they saw 356 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:34.200 someone dropping off these plastic picnic coolers that contained improvised 357 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.839 explosive devices. Well, somebody had done that, But it turns out, 358 00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:40.319 and I'm looking at an FBI poster now that shows 359 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:44.160 security video, it was shehampsu din Jabbar who did that. 360 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.359 It wasn't other people. So at least right now, the 361 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:50.559 working theory is that this was a lone wolf attack. 362 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.119 Jim, I'm curious because it again you said that it 363 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:02.240 was it was the guy who actually put those coolers out. 364 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:05.599 Did he do it hours before the attack, minutes before 365 00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:08.799 the attack, or do we know the timeframe of that little. 366 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:12.519 Over an hour? The attack happened at about three thirty 367 00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:16.559 the first and the explosive was placed at about two 368 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.480 oh three. These two explosives and within a few minutes 369 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.759 of two oh three, so it was about an hour 370 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:25.920 before the pickup truck came roaring down Bourbon Street, and 371 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.839 they were placed at different locations on Bourbon Street, one 372 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.160 on Bourbon Down at the other end near govinor Nichols, 373 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.759 and another one place not too far away from here. 374 00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:39.799 So yeah, it was within an hour at least little 375 00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:41.279 over an hour, which. 376 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.839 Is also interesting when you think about how did he 377 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.440 know where he could get access to the street and 378 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.680 that kind of stuff. Was he walking around for hours 379 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:52.960 kind of casing and looking for vulnerabilities or did he 380 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.559 just happen to go to the one place that he 381 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:56.359 could get through. 382 00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:59.200 Well, unfortunately it wasn't too difficult. All he had to 383 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:01.160 do was to drive on a police car that was 384 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:03.319 parked at the end of Bourbon Street to keep people 385 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.319 from driving onto the street. He just went around it 386 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:10.839 and came down Bourbon Street. This is fascinating to me. 387 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:16.839 In twenty nineteen and an organization called inter four International, 388 00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.960 which is a consulting firm security consulting firm working at 389 00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:25.440 the direction of the French Quarter Management Group, did a survey, 390 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.319 did a study. It had been commissioned to do this study, 391 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:31.319 and it found that the French Quarter is vulnerable to 392 00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:34.160 this very sort of thing that a vehicle could be 393 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:37.119 used as a weapon of mass destruction. That's what happened here. 394 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:43.079 And it made these recommendations for improved barriers, and those 395 00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:46.759 were being put into place five years later, almost, and 396 00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:48.240 they were supposed to be in place by the time 397 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:51.720 the Super Bowl came, but unfortunately it comes weeks too late, 398 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:53.720 because we saw what happened on New Year's morning. 399 00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:58.440 Yeah, and initially I was wondering, you know, when you're 400 00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:02.119 hearing all of about this and the information's coming in, 401 00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.920
