00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty Wake Up Call

2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 1>with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm Amy King. Well we got another day. It's day

4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:19.440
<v Speaker 2>four of the fires and still an incredibly active situation.

5
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.920
<v Speaker 2>If you've if you've been listening to Neil Savedre, he's

6
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 2>been keeping up to date. We're gonna get you the

7
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 2>latest and dig a little deeper into some of the stories. Boy,

8
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot going on, and the numbers just keep

9
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.000
<v Speaker 2>going up, and I think we can expect them to

10
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.280
<v Speaker 2>continue to go up. I came out to my car

11
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>this morning and there was snow on my car. Okay,

12
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't snow, it was ash. But have you noticed that,

13
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 2>even though I am miles away from the fire's air

14
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.960
<v Speaker 2>quality is not good and you can feel it when

15
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>you're outside. It smells like smoking. I even when I

16
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>went to take my nap yesterday, I was like, my

17
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 2>house smells like a fire. It was crazy. Also, I

18
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>had a trailer parked across the street this morning, a

19
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 2>horse trailer. Not just a regular trailer, but a horse trailer.

20
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 2>So I'm guessing that there is somebody who's been evacuated

21
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>and is now staying in my neighborhood. So glad that

22
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>they were able to get away. Also driving in this

23
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.599
<v Speaker 2>morning if you get a chance. The moon was very

24
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 2>low in the sky when I came in at like

25
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>three point thirty, so I'm not sure where it is

26
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 2>if it was ascending in the sky or descending in

27
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 2>the sky, but it was this eerie, beautiful, weird moon.

28
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.200
<v Speaker 2>It was yellowish and it's still it felt like Halloween,

29
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, like that kind of darkness, still beautiful. And

30
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.200
<v Speaker 2>that's what's so weird about the fires is like you

31
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 2>look at the sun and you can look at the

32
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 2>sun and it's red because of the smoke, and it's

33
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 2>this very eerie feeling in a weird, beautiful way, you know.

34
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 2>So anyway you are going to get through it. We

35
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>hope that all of you are safe. And if you

36
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 2>got an alert that there was a new fire, because

37
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.319
<v Speaker 2>an alert went out about an hour ago that was

38
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>not correct, and hopefully you've received your correction. I know

39
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 2>we got one yesterday at just before four o'clock and

40
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 2>it went out to all of La County. It was

41
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.319
<v Speaker 2>a mistake. They accidentally did it. It should have only been

42
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>for the fire. That's burning up in near Calabasas. It's

43
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.719
<v Speaker 2>called the Kenneth Fire. It broke out yesterday afternoon. So anyway,

44
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 2>some people this morning got a very rude awakening. I'm

45
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 2>sure because right about four o'clock we had heard Hollywood

46
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 2>Silver Lake Producer and got the alert for the Tapanga area.

47
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>But that too was a mistake. There are no new

48
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>fires burning at this time, which is good news considering

49
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 2>everything that's going on. Let's get into it. Here's what's

50
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 2>ahead on wake up call. The newest fire whipped by

51
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>the winds in southern California has burned one thousand acres.

52
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>That's the one near Calabasas. The Kenneth fire started around

53
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 2>three yesterday afternoon and burned very close to neighborhoods. Water

54
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>dropping helicopters came to the rescue again in fixed wing planes.

55
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>We're able to keep the flames away from homes in

56
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 2>the West Hills neighborhood. Forward progress has been stopped. It

57
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 2>is now thirty five percent surrounded. One person has been

58
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>arrested for suspected arson in connection with that fire in Calabasas.

59
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>The number of homes, restaurants, churches, schools, and other businesses

60
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 2>that have been burned in the wildfires is up over

61
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 2>ten thousand now. Fire officials announced fifty three hundred buildings

62
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 2>have burned in the Palisades fire, and four to five

63
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 2>thousand have burned in the fire in Altadena. At least

64
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 2>ten people were killed in the fires that continue to

65
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 2>burn out of control. We're going to be talking more

66
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>about the fires with ABC's Melissa a don to get

67
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the latest in just a couple of minutes, probably about

68
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>three or four minutes from now. Let's look in to

69
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 2>more stories about the fires. Hundreds of members of the

70
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Californian National Guard have arrived in the LA area to

71
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 2>help law enforcement in the fire zones. Sheriff Luna said

72
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>yesterday that roughly four hundred members of the Guard would

73
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 2>be stationed around the region to help with traffic control

74
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>and to restrict entry into burn areas. The sheriff also

75
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 2>announced that twenty people have been arrested for looting in fire.

76
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.040
<v Speaker 3>Areas, absolutely unacceptable.

77
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 2>The DA has promised looters will be prosecuted to the

78
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>fullest extent of the law. All schools in the La

79
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 2>School District are closed again today because of the fires.

80
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Officials say fire wind and spoke have created unpredictable, complex

81
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 2>situations that present potentially unsafe conditions. Superintendent Alberto Carvallo says

82
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 2>schools will have to be cleaned up and air filters

83
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 2>replaced before kids can go back. The districts can have

84
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.040
<v Speaker 2>some sites open today to provide meals and childcare. Schools

85
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 2>in surrounding areas will also be closed today, including in Glendale, Burbank, Lacayada, Pasadena,

86
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>South Passage, Arcadia, and Monrovia. All schools in the Santa

87
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Monica Malibu School District are also closed. Some families in

88
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 2>Altadna have been surprised to find their homes are still standing.

89
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 4>The city has lost blocks of houses and businesses, but

90
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.439
<v Speaker 4>the fire in some polas seem to pick houses at random,

91
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.519
<v Speaker 4>erasing some, leaving others alone. James Coggin says he fled

92
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.839
<v Speaker 4>when the evacuation order came and didn't think he'd see

93
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 4>his house again.

94
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 2>So then when I left to go out to rialto

95
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>with my daughter, I felt like, well, that's that's the

96
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:30.240
<v Speaker 2>end of it.

97
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it started setting in that that we lost everything.

98
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 4>So but the house still stands thanks to the effort

99
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 4>of neighbors who used any liquid at their disposal to

100
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.680
<v Speaker 4>keep the flames at bay. Michael Monks KFI News.

101
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>It's so nice to hear a good news story in

102
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 2>the midst of all this devastation. Say good morning to

103
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.639
<v Speaker 2>ABC's Melissa Adon. Melissa, another fire broke out yesterday afternoon

104
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 2>about three. What can you tell us about it?

105
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Amy, So that was the Kenneth fire that broke

106
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 5>out yesterday afternoon in the Los Angeles Vntura County border

107
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 5>of Hidden Hills, that's just north of Calabasas. At this point,

108
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 5>that one's burned nine hundred and sixty acres. However, it

109
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 5>is thirty five percent contained and the evacuation warnings there

110
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 5>have been lifted. However, a possible arson suspect was detained

111
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 5>by police in connection to the Kenneth fire. Police said

112
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 5>this was after a witness called in stating a suspect

113
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.199
<v Speaker 5>was attempting to light a fire in the area of

114
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 5>the Kenneth fire. Well, that suspect is in custody. Police

115
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 5>are investigating, but at this point they cannot confirm any

116
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 5>connection to any fire. So of course this is something

117
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:34.639
<v Speaker 5>that we are monitoring.

118
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and then what about the other fires we've got

119
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>the Palisades Fire, and the numbers have gone up, skyrocketed dramatically.

120
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.759
<v Speaker 5>Amy it's astronomical. So, of course, the two major wildfires

121
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 5>that we're watching closely are the Palisades Fire that's burning

122
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.560
<v Speaker 5>in Pacific Palisades in Malibu. It's destroyed more than nineteen

123
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 5>thousand acres. While that's six percent contained, we're looking at

124
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 5>more than five thousand structures that have burned. We're talking

125
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 5>about homes, businesses, schools, places of worship. In the Pacific

126
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 5>pala Safes, communities are unrecognizable. I mean, there was a

127
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 5>family that was talking about how they lost their home,

128
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 5>their child's lost their elementary school. That family what lost

129
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.079
<v Speaker 5>the grocery store they go to, the businesses that they go,

130
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 5>the church nearby, their community is gone. This has made

131
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 5>this the third most destructive fire in our state's history. Meantime,

132
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.120
<v Speaker 5>then of course we're watching the other major fire they

133
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.759
<v Speaker 5>eat in fire that's still a zero percent contained over

134
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 5>an Altadena and Pasadena. Well, it's for more than thirteen

135
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:46.120
<v Speaker 5>thousand acres and it has destroyed more than four thousand structures.

136
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.480
<v Speaker 5>So when you look at the expansiveness of this, you

137
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.600
<v Speaker 5>know nearly ten thousand homes, businesses gone, really all across

138
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 5>Los Angeles County. It is just remarkable all of this.

139
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.160
<v Speaker 5>Of course, as now the Los Angeles County Medical Examiners

140
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 5>reporting at least ten fire related debts. We do know

141
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 5>that there are cadaver dogs going with crews home by

142
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 5>home through the rubble trying to see if they find

143
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.319
<v Speaker 5>any other human remains. And then of course the investigation

144
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 5>into each of these people's lives that were lost are

145
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 5>ongoing as they notify their relatives and family and just

146
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.360
<v Speaker 5>try to understand how they perished in these devastating wildfires.

147
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Melissa, do we have any idea how many people are missing?

148
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 5>That's a good question. As far as the missing, that

149
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 5>was a big issue that we experienced last year when

150
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.759
<v Speaker 5>I was on the ground in Maui covering the Lina wildfires.

151
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:43.639
<v Speaker 5>Of that here, this has not been necessarily a reported

152
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:47.159
<v Speaker 5>issue of people missing that we're seeing in grand numbers

153
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 5>like that, So at that point that's something that we're

154
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.200
<v Speaker 5>waiting for more details from Los Angeles County officials.

155
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you had mentioned the two biggest fires they

156
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.960
<v Speaker 2>eat in fire and the Palace Saves Fire, And we've

157
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.080
<v Speaker 2>been talking over the last few days about how we've

158
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.000
<v Speaker 2>had fires in southern California before and you kind of

159
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 2>feel like, well, it's just a fire, it's not affecting everyone.

160
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.799
<v Speaker 2>This one is so different. I mean, if you look

161
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.759
<v Speaker 2>at it, if you live in Los Angeles, you've got

162
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 2>the fire to the west, in Palisades, you've got the

163
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.600
<v Speaker 2>fire to the east, they eaten fire. And now yesterday

164
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:27.320
<v Speaker 2>you've got the fire to the north, the one in Calabasas.

165
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 2>And then also hitting closer to home just Wednesday night

166
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.759
<v Speaker 2>was the Hollywood Hills fire. Even if you're miles and

167
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 2>miles away from the fires, they feel like they're all around.

168
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.320
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely amy. The air quality is impacted. We see it,

169
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 5>the smoke, the winds that we all experience, and now

170
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.960
<v Speaker 5>we're all on edge for right because we're also going

171
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 5>to experience some of that wind threat. We're still under

172
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:52.720
<v Speaker 5>a red flag warning all throughout southern California that goes

173
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.799
<v Speaker 5>on through tonight, and then we have issues coming next

174
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.720
<v Speaker 5>week of more sant Anna winds returning. Everyone is on

175
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.039
<v Speaker 5>edge and everyone's impacted. And you know the thing is

176
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 5>to us news reporters, we live here, we have family,

177
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 5>we have friends that are impacted. I have a friend

178
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 5>of mine. While she doesn't live in Pacific Palisades and

179
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.120
<v Speaker 5>her home is fine, she's a teacher at a private

180
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 5>school and Pacific Palisades and their schools burned to the ground. Yes,

181
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 5>and now she has made no place to work. How

182
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 5>about the students that she teaches? Where are they going

183
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.320
<v Speaker 5>to go to school? How are they going to reconvene?

184
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.799
<v Speaker 5>I mean, these are so many issues and questions that

185
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:29.960
<v Speaker 5>we have looking forward.

186
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, the effects are so far reaching, and we

187
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:34.879
<v Speaker 2>as you mentioned, we've got lots of questions. Hopefully we'll

188
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 2>get answers in the coming days, but right now, priority one,

189
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.879
<v Speaker 2>get those fires out. Melissa and Don, ABC News, thank

190
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:42.919
<v Speaker 2>you so much, appreciate the information this morning.

191
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:45.320
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely. Thanks Am.

192
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get back to some of the stories

193
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 2>coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. At

194
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 2>least two people have been killed in the fire and

195
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Pacific Palisades. One body was removed yesterday from the rubble

196
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:59.200
<v Speaker 2>of a home near Duke's Restaurant on pch La. County.

197
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Sheriff's officials told reporters that deputies had received a missing

198
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.919
<v Speaker 2>person report that led them to do a welfare check

199
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.480
<v Speaker 2>at the burned out home. The fire has burned nearly

200
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:12.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty thousand acres since Tuesday. It's just six percent surrounded,

201
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.159
<v Speaker 2>as we were just telling you, and thousands of people

202
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 2>remain under evacuation orders. An aerial survey found about fifty

203
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.440
<v Speaker 2>three hundred homes and other buildings have been destroyed in

204
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 2>the fire. A woman who lives in the Palisades fire

205
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 2>areas confronted Governor Newsom over the response to the fire, Governor, I.

206
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 6>Live here, Governor, that was my daughter's school, Governor.

207
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>The conversation this week outside a burned out school aired

208
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 2>live on Sky News. Newsom told Rachel Darvish that he

209
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>was talking with President Biden about what could be done

210
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 2>to rebuild.

211
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.639
<v Speaker 3>Can I hear your call? Because I don't believe it.

212
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 7>I'm sorry, Can I There's literally I've tried five times.

213
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 8>That's why I'm walking around to make.

214
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 3>Im a president not taking your call because it's not

215
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:55.080
<v Speaker 3>going through.

216
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Newsom has been criticized by some of this by some

217
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 2>for the state's wildfire response, wh President Biden has told

218
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.039
<v Speaker 2>officials in California to spare no expense, as he put it,

219
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the fires, and pledged to cover

220
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:08.879
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent of the cost for the next one

221
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 2>hundred and eighty days. We're actually going to be talking

222
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.720
<v Speaker 2>with Karen Travers with ABC more about that coming out

223
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:18.559
<v Speaker 2>at about five point fifty. Images of the Hollywood Signs

224
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.519
<v Speaker 2>surrounded by fire have gone viral online, but kaf's Daniel

225
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Martindale says they're fake.

226
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:27.320
<v Speaker 9>The chairman of the Hollywood Sign Trust tells Forbes magazine

227
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.720
<v Speaker 9>the images and videos are likely AI generated. The Sunset

228
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 9>fire burned in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday night, but

229
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:34.799
<v Speaker 9>did not threaten the Hollywood Sign.

230
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.519
<v Speaker 2>The fire did impact the lights that illuminate the sign,

231
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.759
<v Speaker 2>affecting its visibility. The Rams playoff game against the Minnesota

232
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Vikings has been moved from SOFI Stadium in Inglewood to

233
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:51.159
<v Speaker 2>State Farms Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, because of the fires.

234
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 2>The NFL says the decision was made in consultation with

235
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.919
<v Speaker 2>public officials, the participating clubs, and the National Football League's

236
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:02.600
<v Speaker 2>player association. The playoff game will air at five pm

237
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Monday on ESPN, ABC, ESPN Plus and ESPN Deports. Is

238
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.399
<v Speaker 2>that right? Is there a thing called ESPN Deports or

239
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe that's the Spanish deportees I guess that's probably what is. Yeah,

240
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm so multicultural, right, Okay. When we were talking with Melissa,

241
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 2>she was talking about how people are on edge, and

242
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 2>rightfully so, because it does feel like the fires are

243
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.799
<v Speaker 2>burning all around us. And it didn't help when we

244
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:34.399
<v Speaker 2>got that evacuation warning yesterday afternoon. It was sent out

245
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.320
<v Speaker 2>to all of La County. It was supposed to just

246
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.519
<v Speaker 2>go out to Calabasas for the fire that was burning,

247
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.159
<v Speaker 2>the Kenneth fire that burned about a thousand acres. But

248
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.159
<v Speaker 2>I got my first evacuation order. I don't know if

249
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.960
<v Speaker 2>that was your first experience with it. It's like the

250
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:54.840
<v Speaker 2>quake alert or an amber alert. Just it's very loud

251
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:57.080
<v Speaker 2>and very jarring. You can't turn the noise off on

252
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.480
<v Speaker 2>your phone. And immediately I went, oh, my gosh, there's

253
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.440
<v Speaker 2>a fire in my neighborhood now, and guessing that you

254
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>might have done the same thing, and I went and

255
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.679
<v Speaker 2>I ran outside and started looking around for a plume

256
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:10.399
<v Speaker 2>of smoke. Well, as it turns out, it was a mistake.

257
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.320
<v Speaker 2>County officials put out another notification about twenty minutes later,

258
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.480
<v Speaker 2>saying that it was needed to be disregarded, that it

259
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:21.960
<v Speaker 2>was mistakenly sent out to everyone in La County. You

260
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:25.159
<v Speaker 2>know that moment of panic though, when you run outside

261
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:28.039
<v Speaker 2>and you look around and think, Okay, that go bag

262
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.600
<v Speaker 2>that I just put together the day before, I got

263
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.519
<v Speaker 2>to use it. I got to go grab the pets,

264
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:34.879
<v Speaker 2>I got to grab my documents, I got to grab

265
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 2>my emergency gear and a change of clothes. I guess,

266
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 2>and get out that and I'm like, in for us,

267
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.320
<v Speaker 2>for you know, ten million of us. That was just

268
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.240
<v Speaker 2>a drill, basically, But think about the people who are

269
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:51.919
<v Speaker 2>actually in the evacuation zones and how that reality. It's

270
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:56.480
<v Speaker 2>a tough one and it's I don't envy anybody who's

271
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.840
<v Speaker 2>actually living through that. It's scary and it's affecting so many,

272
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Like we were talking about and you heard Nil Savager

273
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:07.080
<v Speaker 2>talking with it to Walla Sharp is evacuated, Shannon Farron

274
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 2>is evacuated from her home. It's very, very scary. Also

275
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>a side note, because you know, I have pets, and

276
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 2>one of my cats, Alex, is the total scaredy cat.

277
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.399
<v Speaker 2>He did not like that. He did not like that notification,

278
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 2>and his eyes got really big. He looked at me

279
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:26.639
<v Speaker 2>and then he ran into the closet. I didn't see

280
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.080
<v Speaker 2>him for a couple hours, and then there's the other

281
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.919
<v Speaker 2>cat who was unflappable. Shelby looked up, looked around, and

282
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.080
<v Speaker 2>then curled up and went right back to sleep. That's

283
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:38.519
<v Speaker 2>why Alex has a harness on because if anything happens,

284
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have to go dig him out of the

285
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.360
<v Speaker 2>back of the closet, and Shelby, I'm sure would just

286
00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:45.559
<v Speaker 2>follow me down the street. Okay, when we come back,

287
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.000
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna talk more about the fires, give you the

288
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>latest numbers. Also, you know what, it's time to help

289
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.799
<v Speaker 2>and we can help. We got ways to do that,

290
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:57.480
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to tell you all about it. That's

291
00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.240
<v Speaker 2>coming up next on wake Up Call.

292
00:15:59.480 --> 00:15:59.879
<v Speaker 3>Good More.

293
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm Amy King. Thanks for getting your day started with us.

294
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

295
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:09.200
<v Speaker 2>The fire in Pacific Palisades has burned nearly twenty thousand

296
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:14.080
<v Speaker 2>acres and is six percent surrounded. At last count, three

297
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixteen structures have burned, a lot of them

298
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 2>houses and businesses. Mandatory evacuation orders remain in effect in

299
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Santa Monica, and Topanga Nearly four hundred

300
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.519
<v Speaker 2>thousand people in southern California are under evacuation orders or

301
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.039
<v Speaker 2>warnings as the wildfires continue to burn. At least ten

302
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.960
<v Speaker 2>people have been killed in the Fire's officials say they

303
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:38.919
<v Speaker 2>could find more bodies once they get into the burned

304
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:42.679
<v Speaker 2>out neighborhoods to sift through the ashes and rubble. Four

305
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:46.279
<v Speaker 2>hundred National Guard members have arrived to assist with firefighting efforts.

306
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.519
<v Speaker 2>It's not just people running away from the flames. A

307
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.720
<v Speaker 2>mountain lion and two small clubs cubs were spotted overnight

308
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:58.039
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday running across Topanga Canyon Boulevard, away from where the

309
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Palisades fire has destroyed all those homes and businesses. I

310
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:05.880
<v Speaker 2>was telling you about my cats and their experience and

311
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:09.200
<v Speaker 2>how Alex freaked out when he heard the UH the

312
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:14.319
<v Speaker 2>alert yesterday. But Anne producer, An was watching one of

313
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:18.200
<v Speaker 2>the channels, the news channels, and UH as the Kenneth

314
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.960
<v Speaker 2>fire was taking hold yesterday afternoon and has my favorite

315
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:25.880
<v Speaker 2>story of the day. So Anne, go ahead and uh

316
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.680
<v Speaker 2>what what was the story that you were watching?

317
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, no, I was watching the news yesterday because I

318
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.160
<v Speaker 6>lived close to the Kenneth fire.

319
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 2>So did you get an evacuate, a real evacuation warning.

320
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:39.720
<v Speaker 6>Not a warning, Yes, correct, okay'd get a warning, all right. So, uh,

321
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.759
<v Speaker 6>turn on the news, watching the news, and I I uh,

322
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:46.240
<v Speaker 6>they were reporting from Las Virgenes, where everything was shut

323
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:48.640
<v Speaker 6>down and there was nobody being allowed to enter that

324
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.039
<v Speaker 6>area because they were starting to all the firefighters were

325
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:53.720
<v Speaker 6>coming in to you know, and.

326
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Those fire those flames got close.

327
00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, it was so crazy.

328
00:17:58.559 --> 00:17:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

329
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:01.839
<v Speaker 6>So they were interviewing and these people who are just frantic.

330
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:05.599
<v Speaker 6>They were they had just you know, left their works

331
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:09.759
<v Speaker 6>and went there parked. And this young girl, she was

332
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:12.680
<v Speaker 6>probably nineteen or twenty. They interviewed her and she was

333
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:15.400
<v Speaker 6>panicked about our cat because my cat is in there.

334
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:17.279
<v Speaker 6>I just want to get my cat. They keep telling

335
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.200
<v Speaker 6>me they'll escort me in, but they haven't yet, and

336
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm you know, she's completely freaked out. She was with

337
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:25.400
<v Speaker 6>her nine year old little sister and they just wanted

338
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:28.480
<v Speaker 6>to go get their cat. So I don't know, I

339
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:30.640
<v Speaker 6>just felt for them. It was like everybody else, you

340
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.039
<v Speaker 6>just feel awful for these people.

341
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, especially because like we've talked about over the

342
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.119
<v Speaker 2>last few days, what about I mean, are people leaving

343
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.880
<v Speaker 2>their pets behind. But like in that instance, they weren't

344
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.039
<v Speaker 2>at home when the fire started, so they tried to

345
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:44.079
<v Speaker 2>get home to get the cat and couldn't get in.

346
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:46.920
<v Speaker 3>Like I don't know what I would do. I would panic.

347
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:50.960
<v Speaker 6>So so an hour later, So anyway, that was that report.

348
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 6>An hour later, I went to Ralph's and I'm standing

349
00:18:55.400 --> 00:19:00.920
<v Speaker 6>in line and this young girl walks by and she's

350
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.599
<v Speaker 6>holding a cat and I look and it's.

351
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.559
<v Speaker 3>The same girl with her little sister. And I'm like,

352
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:09.799
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, you got your cat. And she turned

353
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.000
<v Speaker 3>around and she goes, yeah, we got our cat.

354
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.200
<v Speaker 6>And I'm like, oh my god, I'm awesome. So that

355
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.200
<v Speaker 6>was really it was so random, but it was very cool.

356
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, we got to look for the bright

357
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:23.359
<v Speaker 2>spots because there's so much devastation, and to hear a

358
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:26.119
<v Speaker 2>little bit of joy and happiness I think is really important.

359
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:27.960
<v Speaker 3>It was interesting because she didn't have a carrier or anything.

360
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.400
<v Speaker 6>She was just holding onto this cat who was just

361
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:32.640
<v Speaker 6>going rare ram ram, you know.

362
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Just again, this is why my cat is walking around

363
00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:37.240
<v Speaker 2>the house with a harness on these days. Yeah, he's

364
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:40.400
<v Speaker 2>not happy about it, but I got it. He would

365
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:43.599
<v Speaker 2>be the one who would be scratching and freaking out

366
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:45.680
<v Speaker 2>and then trying to get out of my arms. Yeah.

367
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:50.519
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, thank you for sharing that, and I love you. Okay.

368
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:53.319
<v Speaker 2>So here's something else to make you feel a little

369
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:55.599
<v Speaker 2>bit better. If you're wondering how you can help with

370
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.559
<v Speaker 2>all of this, well that's where we enter iHeartMedia Los

371
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Angeles and the Dream Center Los Angeles. We've teamed up

372
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:09.440
<v Speaker 2>and are taking donations because, as you know, the devastation

373
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:14.319
<v Speaker 2>is unthinkable. More than ten thousand structures, a lot of

374
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.480
<v Speaker 2>them are homes, have been destroyed, and that leaves people

375
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.440
<v Speaker 2>with nothing. I was watching on the news last night

376
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:21.960
<v Speaker 2>a woman standing in sweats and she says, this is it.

377
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.799
<v Speaker 2>This is all I got. I mean like she didn't

378
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:28.799
<v Speaker 2>grab anything. And another guy who was being interviewed, and

379
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:30.680
<v Speaker 2>he said, you know, you think you're going to have

380
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.599
<v Speaker 2>time when you get an evacuation order, but he said,

381
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have time. He said, I grabbed this, I

382
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.920
<v Speaker 2>grabbed that, and out I went, he said, and everything's

383
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:41.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, he doesn't know if everything's gone because he

384
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:44.640
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been allowed to go back to get his to

385
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:46.799
<v Speaker 2>get a look at what may or may not be

386
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.920
<v Speaker 2>his home anymore. But here's how you can help. You

387
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:55.279
<v Speaker 2>can donate non perishable food items, bottled water, sports drinks,

388
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>hygiene products. I mean, I saw a lady taking diapers

389
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:00.279
<v Speaker 2>in and I was like, oh my gosh. I didn't

390
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:02.680
<v Speaker 2>even think about all of these things that are just

391
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.160
<v Speaker 2>basic necessities that people who've lost their homes that just

392
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.519
<v Speaker 2>completely wiped out. Of course, clothing and blankets for the families,

393
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:15.160
<v Speaker 2>baby supplies, air purifiers, masks, got any of your COVID

394
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:21.119
<v Speaker 2>nineteen masks left? Dig those out, flashlights, batteries, portable phone chargers.

395
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Think about if you didn't have power and you didn't

396
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:26.759
<v Speaker 2>have you know, you left your chargers behind. And that's

397
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.640
<v Speaker 2>how you stay in touch with the world. First aid kits,

398
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:33.200
<v Speaker 2>medical supplies. Of course, we've talked about the pets several times.

399
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.359
<v Speaker 2>I'd love the fur babies, pet food and supplies they

400
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:40.480
<v Speaker 2>need that. We need cleaning supplies, and here is where

401
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.039
<v Speaker 2>you can drop them off. You can donate supplies at

402
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:46.119
<v Speaker 2>the Dream Center, which is at twenty three to zero

403
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:50.680
<v Speaker 2>one Bellevue Avenue, Los Angeles, nine zero zero two six. Again,

404
00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:55.880
<v Speaker 2>it's two three zero one Bellevue Avenue, Los Angeles, nine

405
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.480
<v Speaker 2>zero zero two six. It's called the Dreams Center, Los

406
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Angeles if you want to Google it too, if you

407
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:04.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't write that down, and you can also make monetary contributions.

408
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:06.799
<v Speaker 2>Of course they'll go and buy all that stuff for you.

409
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Financial donations help them keep those relief efforts going, and

410
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:16.279
<v Speaker 2>you can go to Dreamscenter dot org slash donate to

412
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:23.240
<v Speaker 2>out our fellow Angelina's just say I have my California

413
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.240
<v Speaker 2>sweatshirt on today because I'm like feeling California strong and

414
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.599
<v Speaker 2>it's cool to see people coming together. Unfortunately, it takes

415
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:32.960
<v Speaker 2>crisis and devastation to do it, but you know, if

416
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.319
<v Speaker 2>you can help, please do and we'll get through this. Overnight.

417
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Curfus remain in place until six AM around the two

418
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.119
<v Speaker 2>largest fires burning in southern California. La County Sheriff Robert

419
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Luna says at least twenty people have been arrested for

420
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:51.559
<v Speaker 2>looting in the burn areas and they will be prosecuted

421
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:55.920
<v Speaker 2>to the fullest extent of the law. Officials have announced

422
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.920
<v Speaker 2>that more than fifty three home the fifty three hundred

423
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.480
<v Speaker 2>homes and buildings have burned in the Palisades fire, and

424
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:06.000
<v Speaker 2>four to five thousand homes were destroyed in the Eaton

425
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Canyon fire in Altaden. Its homes, businesses, churches, schools, you

426
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.119
<v Speaker 2>name it. Ten people have died in the fires so far.

427
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:16.640
<v Speaker 2>That number could go higher. OSCAR nominations have been pushed

428
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:19.240
<v Speaker 2>back because of the wildfires. The Academy of Motion Picture

429
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Arts and Sciences says it's being done out of a

430
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.640
<v Speaker 2>consideration for the many voters who are being impacted by

431
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:29.160
<v Speaker 2>the wildfires. Nearly two thirds of the academy voters live

432
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:32.920
<v Speaker 2>in and around the LA area. If I have fifty,

433
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:36.920
<v Speaker 2>President Biden says, California, we got your back. ABC's Karen

434
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Travers is going to join us to tell us what

435
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:42.240
<v Speaker 2>the government is planning to do to help Californians affected

436
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:45.039
<v Speaker 2>by the wildfires. Right now, let's say good morning to

437
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:47.839
<v Speaker 2>the host of Home on KFI. It's our house, whispered

438
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Dean Sharp. Dean, good morning, Good morning Amy. So today

439
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:54.640
<v Speaker 2>we were going to talk about glue or something, but

440
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I think we need to talk about these fires. And

441
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 2>we've talked about wildfire preparation before. It's obviously top of

442
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.880
<v Speaker 2>mind for anybody as the threat of wildfire coming into

443
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.839
<v Speaker 2>your neighborhood is incredibly high right now because of the

444
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 2>weather conditions and the fires that are still burning. So

445
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.920
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about now what you can do to protect

446
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:20.759
<v Speaker 2>your house, and then we'll look into the future a

447
00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:22.440
<v Speaker 2>little bit about what we can do to be ready

448
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:23.680
<v Speaker 2>for the next one.

449
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:29.559
<v Speaker 7>Well, right now, right now, move everything away from your house,

450
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:34.480
<v Speaker 7>everything that is flammable. People have too many things tucked

451
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:37.400
<v Speaker 7>up underneath the eaves of their home. They've got patio

452
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:42.359
<v Speaker 7>furniture underneath patio covers. If you, in any way, shape

453
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:45.920
<v Speaker 7>or form, feel like your house could potentially be in

454
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.799
<v Speaker 7>a threat zone, you need to move that stuff as

455
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.640
<v Speaker 7>far away from the house as possible. It is shocking

456
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:57.119
<v Speaker 7>how many houses catch on fire from other house fires

457
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:01.759
<v Speaker 7>and other area wildfires simply because cause things sitting out

458
00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:03.640
<v Speaker 7>in the yard are too close to the house. So

459
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.839
<v Speaker 7>that's got to be rule number one right now, getting

460
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:12.279
<v Speaker 7>things away from the house. The second thing is if

461
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:18.000
<v Speaker 7>there's time, and you know, this is a situation where

462
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:20.319
<v Speaker 7>it's like I don't know, I don't you know. It

463
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:24.079
<v Speaker 7>depends on how fast it comes. We've talked about it before.

464
00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:28.759
<v Speaker 7>You and I getting yourself a supply of a fire gel,

465
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:33.839
<v Speaker 7>which is a barrier of foam that can be placed

466
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.559
<v Speaker 7>on your home before you have to evacuate. That can

467
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:43.000
<v Speaker 7>do a tremendous, tremendous amount of benefit towards keeping your

468
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:48.000
<v Speaker 7>home safe while you are gone. Barricade is the brand

469
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:50.359
<v Speaker 7>that I've recommended to people over and over again. If

470
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:53.039
<v Speaker 7>you go to firegel dot com right now, I think

471
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:57.400
<v Speaker 7>you'll find on their landing page that they are actually saying, hey,

472
00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:00.599
<v Speaker 7>if you are a Southern California resident and you want

473
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 7>expedited shipping to get Firejaeil for your home, They're directing

474
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:07.920
<v Speaker 7>you to a particular supplier, West Coast supplier who is

475
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:11.079
<v Speaker 7>ready and able to get that to you. So that's

476
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 7>the kind of pre evacuation stuff that I recommend for

477
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:20.359
<v Speaker 7>everybody and anybody who lives in any wildfire area in

478
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:23.880
<v Speaker 7>southern California. And then long term will be you know,

479
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:28.319
<v Speaker 7>things we've talked about before, addressing vents into the attic

480
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:31.839
<v Speaker 7>right now, don't try to order new vents and try

481
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:35.400
<v Speaker 7>and change them out. Literally, if a fire is on

482
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:38.440
<v Speaker 7>its way towards you, then the best thing you can

483
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.240
<v Speaker 7>do is just close up your vents, tape your vents.

484
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:44.200
<v Speaker 7>And you're thinking, well, tape is not going to keep

485
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:48.960
<v Speaker 7>flames from getting into my attic. That's true, It's absolutely true.

486
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:51.640
<v Speaker 7>If the fire line actually approaches the house, that's a

487
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:55.640
<v Speaker 7>whole different ballgame. But over eighty percent of the houses

488
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:58.799
<v Speaker 7>that catch fire as a result of a wildfire or

489
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:03.000
<v Speaker 7>fires happening in the area start they start. The flare

490
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.799
<v Speaker 7>ups start by absorbing embers into spaces like the attic.

491
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.960
<v Speaker 2>And this fire had embers galore. The pictures of the

492
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:16.359
<v Speaker 2>embers just sailing through the neighborhoods, being swept across streets.

493
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:18.680
<v Speaker 2>It looked like a sandstorm that was illuminated.

494
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:21.400
<v Speaker 7>That is just the nature of it. And that is

495
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:24.599
<v Speaker 7>how you know one neighborhood is burning and all of

496
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.400
<v Speaker 7>a sudden, four blocks away something has started. People are

497
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:31.119
<v Speaker 7>shrugging their shoulder like, how does this happen? It is embers.

498
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:33.680
<v Speaker 7>And so if you're in an evacuation zone or you're

499
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.519
<v Speaker 7>about to be tape up, close up, board up the

500
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:39.440
<v Speaker 7>vents going into your attic.

501
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I want to ask you about that, Dean, because

502
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:44.759
<v Speaker 2>you're saying do this, how long does that take? Do

503
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:47.000
<v Speaker 2>people know where these vents are? And if you don't,

504
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:49.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's a good time to learn where they are.

505
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:53.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, for a lot of typical single story ranch houses,

506
00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 7>you'll find like if there's a gable end, meaning there's

507
00:27:57.559 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 7>a big triangle on the end of your roof on

508
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.480
<v Speaker 7>either into your house, you should have a big vent

509
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:09.240
<v Speaker 7>right there. And then look underneath your eveline for smaller

510
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:14.079
<v Speaker 7>holes about two inches in diameter along the block line

511
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:15.839
<v Speaker 7>at the top of your wall. And how long does

512
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:17.640
<v Speaker 7>it take, Well, you know it's going to take an

513
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:20.519
<v Speaker 7>hour or two. You get a big roll of duct

514
00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:22.799
<v Speaker 7>tape or whatever and get out there.

515
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:23.119
<v Speaker 3>Again.

516
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:26.279
<v Speaker 7>Our point is this, we're not trying to stop flames

517
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.920
<v Speaker 7>from getting in. We're just keeping little embers from blowing

518
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 7>into your attic, and the tape can get that done.

519
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, how long I say you are in an area

520
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:42.119
<v Speaker 2>so like even in the Kenneth fire area in Calabasas,

521
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:44.920
<v Speaker 2>where that came up so quickly and evacuation orders went

522
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.799
<v Speaker 2>out within in half an hour, so it questionable whether

523
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:50.799
<v Speaker 2>you could have gotten it done. But maybe you could

524
00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:55.079
<v Speaker 2>have gotten something done before the evacuation order came along.

525
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:57.880
<v Speaker 2>But if you think that, maybe you're in an area

526
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:01.880
<v Speaker 2>that's really kind of in danger of that, because like

527
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:06.599
<v Speaker 2>that area of calt vasis apparently they've had wildfires go

528
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:09.960
<v Speaker 2>through the area before, it's not new for them. How

529
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.319
<v Speaker 2>long can you leave the tape up there? Like, could

530
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.559
<v Speaker 2>we have people go and block those vents and leave

531
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:19.279
<v Speaker 2>it up for four or five days? Or do you oh?

532
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:23.039
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely, absolutely, you know you could leave the tape on

533
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:26.119
<v Speaker 7>for for days and days and days. It's not a problem.

534
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 7>It's not going to damage the inside of your house.

535
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, don't leave it on permanently, but you can do

536
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:34.319
<v Speaker 2>it now through the fire danger exactly.

537
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:34.839
<v Speaker 8>It is not.

538
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:37.599
<v Speaker 7>It's not something we should keep on because our addicts

539
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:40.759
<v Speaker 7>need to be ventilated when it's safe outside. But no,

540
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:42.680
<v Speaker 7>put it on and leave it and walk away for

541
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:46.279
<v Speaker 7>two weeks. It does not matter. What matters is that

542
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:49.200
<v Speaker 7>we block any possibility of your house burning death.

543
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:51.160
<v Speaker 2>We love that. Okay, So are you going to be

544
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:54.079
<v Speaker 2>talking about fire prevention on your show tomorrow or are

545
00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:55.839
<v Speaker 2>you going to be talking about other things.

546
00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:58.359
<v Speaker 7>We're going to be talking. We're going to be covering

547
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:01.440
<v Speaker 7>the fires throughout the weekend, and just like we've been

548
00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:05.200
<v Speaker 7>here on KFI throughout the week and I'll be taking calls,

549
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:08.480
<v Speaker 7>giving out advice. We'll be talking about what you do

550
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:11.599
<v Speaker 7>if your house has burnt to the ground. That's going

551
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:13.279
<v Speaker 7>to be one of the big questions that a lot

552
00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:15.319
<v Speaker 7>of people have. Where do we start, what's going to

553
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.720
<v Speaker 7>happen next? We'll be discussing it all all weekend long.

554
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, great, And that's a Home with Dean Sharp. You

555
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:24.799
<v Speaker 2>can hear it this weekend right here on KFI Saturday

556
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:27.599
<v Speaker 2>from six to eight am, and then Sunday from nine

557
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:31.000
<v Speaker 2>am to noon. You can also follow Dean at Home

558
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:35.079
<v Speaker 2>with Dean. Thank you so much. Your information always good,

559
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:37.960
<v Speaker 2>particularly invaluable today. Appreciate it.

560
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:39.559
<v Speaker 7>Thanks Sam Talks.

561
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:41.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get back to some of the stories

562
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:43.359
<v Speaker 2>coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Fire

563
00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>crews say forward progress of the one thousand acre fire

564
00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:49.799
<v Speaker 2>burning your homes in Calabasas and West Hills has been stopped.

565
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Water dropping helicopters were used yesterday to help save hillside

566
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:58.960
<v Speaker 2>homes near the one to one Freeway. That fire is

567
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:01.480
<v Speaker 2>now thirty five percent surrounded. A guy who may have

568
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:04.359
<v Speaker 2>started the fires been detained. He was caught by people

569
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 2>in Woodland Hills and held for police. Kfi's Deborah Mark,

570
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:09.519
<v Speaker 2>who lives in the area, says she got a text

571
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:10.640
<v Speaker 2>from a neighbor.

572
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:14.920
<v Speaker 8>And said that police arrested a guy who was seen

573
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.559
<v Speaker 8>in our neighborhood. So we're up in the hills in

574
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.480
<v Speaker 8>in Woodland Hills with a torch trying to light brush

575
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:24.039
<v Speaker 8>around people's houses.

576
00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Images show the guy had what looked like a butane

577
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:31.119
<v Speaker 2>type torch. A water dropping plane has been hit by

578
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:33.079
<v Speaker 2>a drone over the Palisades Fire.

579
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.039
<v Speaker 4>The Super Scooper was rendered temporarily inoperable after the drone

580
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:39.039
<v Speaker 4>put a hole in its wing Thursday afternoon.

581
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:42.920
<v Speaker 2>The plane landed safely and no one was injured. Kfi's

582
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:46.839
<v Speaker 2>Mark Mayfield says the FAA is investigating the collision. The

583
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:49.400
<v Speaker 2>La County Fire chief says the FBI will be using

584
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:52.319
<v Speaker 2>so called aerial armor in the area, which is designed

585
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:55.039
<v Speaker 2>to keep drones out of the fire zone. Democrats have

586
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:58.279
<v Speaker 2>voted with Republicans to advance the Lake and Riley Act

587
00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:01.759
<v Speaker 2>that would require federal authorities to detain illegal immigrants who've

588
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:06.200
<v Speaker 2>been accused of certain crimes. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer

589
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:10.039
<v Speaker 2>and most other Democrats voted to move forward with the legislation.

590
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:12.920
<v Speaker 2>It's already passed in the House. The Supreme Court is

591
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.519
<v Speaker 2>allowing President elect Trump's sentencing in New York in a

592
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:20.200
<v Speaker 2>hush money case to go forward. The Court rejected Trump's

593
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:24.279
<v Speaker 2>request yesterday to block the proceeding. Trump criticized the decision, Well.

594
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:26.640
<v Speaker 6>They called for an appeal, and as you know, they

595
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:31.519
<v Speaker 6>acknowledge what the judge said about no penalty, and there

596
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:33.079
<v Speaker 6>is really there's no penalty.

597
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:35.039
<v Speaker 3>But we're going to appeal anyway.

598
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:37.839
<v Speaker 4>Just psychologically, because frankly, it's a disgrace.

599
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:42.079
<v Speaker 2>The Supreme Court vote was five to four. The sentencing

600
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:45.920
<v Speaker 2>hearing is scheduled for today. Trump's inauguration is set for

601
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:51.160
<v Speaker 2>January twentieth. Forward progress of the Kenneth fire, burning near

602
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:54.400
<v Speaker 2>homes in Calabasas and West Hills, has been stopped. The

603
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:57.480
<v Speaker 2>fire has burned one thousand acres and is thirty five

604
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.960
<v Speaker 2>percent surrounded. The fire burning in all Sadena is destroyed

605
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:04.960
<v Speaker 2>between four and five thousand homes and businesses. The fires

606
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:08.599
<v Speaker 2>burned nearly fourteen thousand acres. It was moving toward Mount

607
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Wilson yesterday, but officials say the rate of growth has

608
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:16.440
<v Speaker 2>slowed significantly. The Chargers Wildcard playoff game against the Minnesota

609
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Vikings that was supposed to happen tomorrow at SOFI Stadium

610
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:23.200
<v Speaker 2>has been moved to State Farm Stadium in Arizona. The

611
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:25.759
<v Speaker 2>game will now be played on Monday night because of

612
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the wildfires. Let's say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen,

613
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:34.799
<v Speaker 2>President Biden and his administration have said to California, We've

614
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:35.359
<v Speaker 2>got your back.

615
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.920
<v Speaker 10>Yeah. The President yesterday announced that the federal government is

616
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:42.000
<v Speaker 10>going to cover one hundred percent of the cost of

617
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:44.559
<v Speaker 10>a disaster response to these fires for one hundred and

618
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:47.240
<v Speaker 10>eighty days. He says that that will pay for things

619
00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:52.880
<v Speaker 10>like debris and hazardous material removal, temporary shelters, first responder salaries,

620
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:55.720
<v Speaker 10>and that he put it all necessary measures to protect

621
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:58.039
<v Speaker 10>life and property. He said he has told the governor

622
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:01.160
<v Speaker 10>and local officials fair, no ex do what you need

623
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:03.799
<v Speaker 10>to do to contain the fires, and the administration will

624
00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:06.359
<v Speaker 10>be there to support them. You know, we saw something

625
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:10.039
<v Speaker 10>similar after hurricanes Julleen and Milton, where the federal government

626
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:13.000
<v Speaker 10>covered one hundred percent of the cost in the immediate

627
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:16.559
<v Speaker 10>impact of that for about four months. So this isn't unprecedented,

628
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:18.920
<v Speaker 10>but it's a big boost then for the state and

629
00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 10>local governments to know that these things will be taken

630
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:24.320
<v Speaker 10>care of because the cause are going to be astronomical.

631
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.760
<v Speaker 10>The President was asked yesterday a sense of the cost,

632
00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:28.960
<v Speaker 10>and he said new And if anybody tells you they

633
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:31.079
<v Speaker 10>know a number, they don't know what they're talking about.

634
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 10>He said, it's going to be big, big.

635
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, now, Karen, you you said that that the government

636
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:39.719
<v Speaker 2>was going to pay for one hundred percent of the

637
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:44.800
<v Speaker 2>cost for the disaster response. So and that is just

638
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:47.760
<v Speaker 2>for fighting the fire, making sure people are safe, that

639
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:53.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing. Is it also going to be including rebuilding?

640
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:57.360
<v Speaker 10>You know that will have to come next. And like

641
00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:59.320
<v Speaker 10>I said, this is what this is for right now.

642
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:02.719
<v Speaker 10>This is for the immediate response to the disaster. Obviously

643
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:06.159
<v Speaker 10>there are insurance issues, they are rebuilding issues, and that

644
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.960
<v Speaker 10>will come next. Congress is going to have to approve

645
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:12.280
<v Speaker 10>more federal funding to cover a lot of this, because

646
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:14.360
<v Speaker 10>you know, we saw them do that at the end

647
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.880
<v Speaker 10>of last year with that big government funding bill to

648
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:19.440
<v Speaker 10>avert the shutdown. There was about one hundred billion dollars

649
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.239
<v Speaker 10>in there for disaster relief, and much of it went

650
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:25.519
<v Speaker 10>to the Southeastern states because of Helene and Milton just

651
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:28.039
<v Speaker 10>still dealing with the fallout from that. So I think

652
00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.599
<v Speaker 10>you can expect that that will happen again this time.

653
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:33.079
<v Speaker 10>Now it'll be different because it'll be the Trump administration

654
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:36.320
<v Speaker 10>doing it, so they'll be in power when this comes up.

655
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:39.719
<v Speaker 10>The government is funded through March fourteenth, so look for,

656
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:42.960
<v Speaker 10>you know, as we get closer to that date, this

657
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:47.519
<v Speaker 10>conversation becoming part of that bigger conversation about funding the government.

658
00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:51.880
<v Speaker 2>And I remember with hurricanes Helene and Milton that there

659
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:54.440
<v Speaker 2>was a lot of back and forth about we need

660
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:57.360
<v Speaker 2>to approve funding now, approve funding now. And I think

661
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:01.239
<v Speaker 2>at that time I remember how Speaker Johnson saying, we

662
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:03.800
<v Speaker 2>don't need to approve it now, we need to wait

663
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:06.239
<v Speaker 2>and see how much it's going to cost. Is it

664
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:09.519
<v Speaker 2>going to be that same sort of a scenario.

665
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:12.280
<v Speaker 10>Perhaps, you know, I think it depends on what the

666
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.000
<v Speaker 10>immediate needs are. FIMA had about twenty nine billion dollars

667
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:17.039
<v Speaker 10>put into the Disaster Relief Fund at the end of

668
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:20.360
<v Speaker 10>last year for immediate needs for disasters. You can see

669
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:23.000
<v Speaker 10>that running out pretty quickly given the scope of this one.

670
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:26.079
<v Speaker 10>There was also the Major Disaster Declaration that the President

671
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:29.559
<v Speaker 10>authorized the other day, which helps people get immediate funds,

672
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:31.559
<v Speaker 10>you know, to help them with what they need right now,

673
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:34.519
<v Speaker 10>just the basic supplies that they need. But like this

674
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:36.920
<v Speaker 10>is just when you look at what the numbers are

675
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:39.519
<v Speaker 10>going to cost, there're certainly going to be needed funding

676
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:40.840
<v Speaker 10>to come from Congress.

677
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. Okay, ABC's Karen Travers, thank you so much for

678
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:47.159
<v Speaker 2>the update. We're glad that Biden has our back.

679
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:48.760
<v Speaker 10>Thank you.

680
00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:50.679
<v Speaker 2>All right, take care. Let's get back to some of

681
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:52.960
<v Speaker 2>the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

682
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:55.679
<v Speaker 2>People in La County are being urged to stay indoors

683
00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:58.199
<v Speaker 2>as much as possible because of the smoke from the fires.

684
00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:00.920
<v Speaker 9>Official'll say if people must be outside, they should wear

685
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:03.719
<v Speaker 9>a P one hundred respirator or properly fitting N ninety

686
00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:06.599
<v Speaker 9>five mask. Air quality levels remain in the unhealthy to

687
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:08.360
<v Speaker 9>hazardous range across the region.

688
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Kyf i's Daniel Martindale says a wildfire smoke advisory is

689
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:14.320
<v Speaker 2>going to be in place through at least tonight. The

690
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:18.639
<v Speaker 2>smokes expected to most heavily affect northwest coastal La County

691
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and an areas close to the fires in Palisades, Altadena,

692
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:25.079
<v Speaker 2>and Silmar. Nearly ten million people in the LA area

693
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:29.000
<v Speaker 2>have been on edge following an accidental text message calling

694
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:30.840
<v Speaker 2>for evacuations.

695
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:33.000
<v Speaker 11>That evacuation order was supposed to only go to residents

696
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:35.960
<v Speaker 11>living in the West Hills community. However, the Office of

697
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:39.880
<v Speaker 11>Emergency Management for La County sent it to basically everyone.

698
00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:43.079
<v Speaker 11>It appears that happened in the Emergency Operations Center for

699
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:44.280
<v Speaker 11>the office.

700
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:48.239
<v Speaker 7>Who actually do the function of through a technological system,

701
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:52.039
<v Speaker 7>a software system, issuing that there was an error within

702
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:52.840
<v Speaker 7>that system.

703
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:56.159
<v Speaker 11>OEM director for La County, Kevin McGowan says that his

704
00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:59.480
<v Speaker 11>office quickly corrected the issue, but they're still investigating how

705
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:03.280
<v Speaker 11>or why was sent out to so many. Andrew Caravella KFI.

706
00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:06.320
<v Speaker 2>News mcgawan did say sending the message county wide was

707
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:10.719
<v Speaker 2>not human error. The Biden administration has succeeded in temporarily

708
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:15.320
<v Speaker 2>blocking a plea deal for accused nine eleven mastermind Khalid

709
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Sheik Mohammed that would keep him from getting the death

710
00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:21.079
<v Speaker 2>penalty for his role in the nine to eleven terrorist attacks.

711
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:23.920
<v Speaker 2>The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments over the

712
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:27.320
<v Speaker 2>fate of TikTok. A law signed by President Biden would

713
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.800
<v Speaker 2>force TikTok's sale by its Chinese parent company, a group

714
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:34.039
<v Speaker 2>that includes billionaire entrepreneur and former La Dodgers owner Frank

715
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:38.920
<v Speaker 2>McCourt and Shark Tank famous investor Kevin O'Leary is looking

716
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:41.280
<v Speaker 2>to buy the video app. The group made a formal

717
00:38:41.320 --> 00:38:44.400
<v Speaker 2>offer yesterday. The Supreme Court case is being heard today.

718
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.840
<v Speaker 2>TikTok says it plans to shut down its social media

719
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:51.000
<v Speaker 2>platform in the US by January nineteenth if the law

720
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:54.039
<v Speaker 2>is not struck down. Nominations have been announced for the

721
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:57.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five Screen Actors Guild Awards. Because of the fires,

722
00:38:57.360 --> 00:38:59.480
<v Speaker 2>there wasn't a live ceremony to find out who's up

723
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:03.599
<v Speaker 2>for the Actor awards. Wicked got five nominations, a complete unknown,

724
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Amelia Perez and Anora We're pretty close behind. Demi Moore,

725
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:11.599
<v Speaker 2>Pamela Anderson and Cynthia Arriva are among those nominated for

726
00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Lead Female. Timothy Shalomey and Adrian Brody are among those

727
00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:19.119
<v Speaker 2>nominated for Best Lead Actor. Showgun, the Bear and The

728
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Diplomat are leading. On the TV side. The ceremony will

729
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:25.639
<v Speaker 2>stream live on Netflix February twenty third. Kristen Bell is

730
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the host. I don't know about you, but I have

731
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:31.199
<v Speaker 2>been absolutely glued to either KFI or also to TV

732
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:38.280
<v Speaker 2>stations since these fires started, and I usually don't watch

733
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:41.519
<v Speaker 2>network news at night. I'll watch local news, or I'll

734
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:43.599
<v Speaker 2>watch CNN and Fox kind of see what's going on

735
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:46.760
<v Speaker 2>with them. I usually don't watch the regular network news.

736
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Don't know why, but I don't. Well, last night I

737
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:53.000
<v Speaker 2>was watching and David Mirrors on right, and he's on

738
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:58.559
<v Speaker 2>scene in Pacific Palisades and he's interviewing people, and he

739
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:01.599
<v Speaker 2>was very soft spoken and being considerate because some of

740
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:03.559
<v Speaker 2>the people that he was talking to, you know, had

741
00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:07.079
<v Speaker 2>lost all of their homes and all of their belongings

742
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:09.280
<v Speaker 2>and all of that stuff. And he's showing some of

743
00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:11.639
<v Speaker 2>the horrific scenes that we've all been looking at for

744
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:14.920
<v Speaker 2>the last few days. Well, apparently he needed his fire

745
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:17.280
<v Speaker 2>jacket to fit a little bit better. You know, those

746
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:22.679
<v Speaker 2>yellow fire jackets that you see the reporters wearing. As

747
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.199
<v Speaker 2>he's interviewing somebody, he kind of turns around and you

748
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:29.159
<v Speaker 2>see there's a clothes pin on his back cinching up

749
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:35.920
<v Speaker 2>the fire jacket. Seriously, like, does this fire jacket make

750
00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:41.440
<v Speaker 2>me look fat? I mean, ten thousand people have lost

751
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:43.960
<v Speaker 2>their homes. I don't care if your fire jacket doesn't

752
00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:47.920
<v Speaker 2>fit perfectly, mister Mirror. I was really disappointed. I really

753
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:54.039
<v Speaker 2>liked the story up until then, Clothespins. This is KFI
