Firefighters have now surrounded forty nine percent 25 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.920 of the fire burning in Malibu, and everyone who lives 26 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.400 in the area has been allowed to return to their 27 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.599 homes over the weekend. There are still evacuation warnings in place, 28 00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.439 but the orders have been lifted. Most roads have now reopened. 29 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.840 Twenty homes and other buildings were destroyed. Twenty eight others 30 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.159 were damaged in the fire that started a week ago. 31 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.239 Two men have been taken into custody after a drone 32 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.599 was spotted flying what officials say was dangerously close to 33 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.560 Boston's Logan International Airport. The men were found on an 34 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.919 island near the airport. They're looking for a third person 35 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.599 who may have taken off in a small boat to arrested. 36 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:15.960 Are facing trespassing and possibly other charges. Northern California got 37 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.560 a double dose of Mother Nature's fury over the weekend. 38 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.039 A tornado touchdown in Scott's Valley south of San Jose 39 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.479 on Saturday. The twister flipped cars and took out power 40 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.199 poles and trees. Several people were injured. Then, on Saturday night, 41 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.960 a five point three earthquake shook near Ferndale, not far 42 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.960 from where the seven magnitude quake rocked the waters off 43 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.680 northern California about a week and a half ago. Let's 44 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.199 get started with some of the stories coming out of 45 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.759 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Schools are reopening in 46 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.159 Malibu now that a fire that has burned more than 47 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.599 four thousand acres is almost fifty percent surrounded. Kids at 48 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.439 Malibu Elementary, Middle School, and high School go back today. 49 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.919 Students from Webster Elementary will go to Malibu Elementary starting tomorrow. 50 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.919 The fire started last Monday night and quickly spread because 51 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.000 of the strong Santa Ana wins. Cooler weather and higher 52 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.960 humidity have helped firefighters. Evacuation orders, as I mentioned, have 53 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:15.120 now all been downgraded to warnings. A man's been arrested 54 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.599 in San Diego County for the shooting of a metro 55 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:21.400 bus driver in East Hollywood. The female driver was shot 56 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.000 in the face last month in what the transit agency 57 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:28.039 called an active domestic violence. Police said Friday, Dorian Holt 58 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.599 was arrested in Escondido and is being held on a 59 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.159 million dollars bail. Nearly forty people have been arrested in 60 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.039 a major retail theft bust. 61 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.840 Over the weekend, police in Ventura County put together a 62 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.120 sting operation at the Pacific View Mall Ventura County Shares. 63 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.719 Deputies say that twenty one people and sixteen kids have 64 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:48.639 all been arrested. Deputies retrieved two thousand dollars in stolen goods. 65 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.639 Theying covered burglary tools, narcotics, including meth and fetanyl, and cocaine. 66 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.120 Authorities collaborated with loss prevention teams from Target, J. C. 67 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.159 Penny and Macy's in order to successfully get the bad 68 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.560 guys and Caravella Kfigh News. 69 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:06.759 Drones have been reported hovering over Long Beach, Redondo Beach, Pacoima, Riverside, 70 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.000 and Temecula. The sightings haven't been confirmed by officials, they're 71 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.199 just witness reports. New Jersey and New York have had 72 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.279 the most drone sightings over the past few weeks, but 73 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.000 now more sightings are being reported all over the country. 74 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.240 Federal officials say the drones are not a threat, but 75 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.199 citizens than state and local officials want more answers. Homeland 76 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.800 Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcis says the Biden administration is on it. 77 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.759 If there is any reason for concern. 78 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:40.959 If we identify any foreign involvement or criminal activity, we 79 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:42.920 will communicate with the American public. 80 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:48.439 Accordingly, Majorcis's Congress must act to extend and expand federal 81 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:52.240 authority to deal with drones and give local authorities more 82 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.680 ability to shoot them down. It's five six. Let's say 83 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:03.560 good morning to ABC's Peter Haralambus. Morning, Peter. As the 84 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.639 world continues to be intrigued by the man who allegedly 85 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:11.399 killed the CEO of United Healthcare, there are some new developments. 86 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.360 That's right, aim he has of this morning, we now 87 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.279 expect Mangioni to waive his extradition as early as Tuesday. 88 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.680 I mean he could be in New York City later 89 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.360 this week, where he's been charged with second degree murder. 90 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.800 This all comes is he hired a new attorney over 91 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.199 the weekend, a high power, well experienced attorney who is 92 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.879 basically a decade of experience leading the Manhattan District Attorney's office. 93 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.600 We'll have to see whether or not he decides to 94 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:37.519 work out some kind of deal or if he fights 95 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.040 this and we see this go to trial. 96 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.399 Okay, and you mentioned his new attorney, so he ditched 97 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.240 the one guy and has this new guy who's going 98 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.279 to be his defense attorney. But he's a pretty high 99 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:50.759 powered prosecutor. 100 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.560 Yeah, so he hired Karen Friedman Magnifilo, And she's someone 101 00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.720 who comes with a wealth of experience from the Manhattan 102 00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.720 District Attorney's office. She was the head of the trial 103 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.879 division there. She was second in command under Cyrus Vance 104 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.959 for seven years. In fact, she was a Manhattan District 105 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.920 Attorney Alvin Bragg's supervisor at one point. I've known her 106 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.680 at this point for more than a year. I've worked 107 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.399 with her and used her as a resource during Trump coverage, 108 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.000 and she's someone who knows that office in and out 109 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.319 a ton of experience, suggesting that if he wants to 110 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.800 work out some kind of arrangement, she might be an 111 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.680 arrangement with the DA's office or some kind of deal. 112 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.600 She would be arguably one of the best people for that, 113 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.199 given her connections in the office. At the same time, 114 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.759 she has a ton of trial experience and is a 115 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.680 proper trial attorney. So if this actually gets the trial, 116 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.800 she also brings all of that experience with her. 117 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.000 And interestingly, you said that she's got all that experience 118 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.639 and she knows all those the people in the office 119 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.120 and that kind of thing, because, I mean, he's being 120 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.920 held on first degree murder charges. It wasn't an accidental, 121 00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.600 it wasn't a voluntary manslaughter. I mean, this is somebody 122 00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.800 who was basically lying in wait for the guy and 123 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.319 assassinated him allegedly, So it might be kind of a 124 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:07.879 tough sell to get him out on bail. 125 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.800 Yeah. And also on top of this, prosecutors have accrued 126 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.279 a ton of alleged evidence linking Mangoni to the crime. 127 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.279 There are those photos that everyone saw on the media 128 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.759 for the two weeks of this manhunt. There are shell 129 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.199 casings that link Mangoni to the scene of the crime, 130 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.639 fingerprints that are matched his, and there are writings that 131 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.240 prosecutors basically consider a confession. And one of these writings, 132 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.959 he allegedly wrote, what do you do regarding his frustration 133 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.279 with United Healthcare? You whack the CEO at the annual 134 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.680 parasitic beam counter convention. So dealing with a ton of 135 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.040 evidence here against him, and definitely the kind of person 136 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.040 who prosecutors will argue is a risk to the public 137 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:54.079 if he's released. 138 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.959 Right, Okay, And in the meantime, all this is all 139 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:04.920 going on the fascination and sympathy and support for Luigi Mangioni, continues. 140 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.120 Yeah, and law enforcement is concerned about that. They're worried 141 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.600 that he's basically become a martyr and that he could 142 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:15.399 embolden other extremists to act on their impulses, basically because 143 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.560 they see that Mangioni's being heralded as a hero and 144 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.399 there's less of a deterrence for them to not actually 145 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:24.319 carry out their plans. In fact, we've seen an outpouring 146 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.680 of support online in support of his legal defense. Fundraiser 147 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.199 has raised one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars as 148 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.879 of this morning, and as people are donating anonymously, they're 149 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:37.120 sharing messages openly calling for violence, saying CEO should be terrified, 150 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.360 and thanking Mangioni for having the courage to be the 151 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.240 spark we need to quote start the fire. So a 152 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.240 ton of support for him online, that's that's just crazy. 153 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.320 So when when will we see him next, or is 154 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.960 it going to be in court this week or when. 155 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.759 Is that at this point? If he actually does waive 156 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.360 his rights to extradition, which we expect at this point, 157 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.159 we could see him in court on Wednesday, Thursday or 158 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.720 Friday this week and during a plea for these charges 159 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.799 in New York, that murder charge and four other charges, 160 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.559 and this all comes as he's grand jury's hearing evidence 161 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.159 in the case, So there could be an indictment against him, 162 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.799 with more charges coming as early as this week as well. 163 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.639 Okay, because right now he's facing those charges in Pennsylvania, 164 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.919 but in New York he has been charged with first 165 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:23.519 degree murder. 166 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.799 Right so when New York he has been charged by 167 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:29.720 complaint with second degree murder. We understand that Manhattan District 168 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:33.120 Attorney Alvin Bragg is kind of looking at first degree 169 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.159 murder and trying to make a case for that. And 170 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.200 they haven't presented this to the grand jury yet, so 171 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:38.960 they have to still kind of go back to the 172 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.639 grand jury and get an indictment as opposed to a complaint. 173 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.919 Gotcha? Okay? And do courts, Peter, did they shut down 174 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.240 over the holidays or do they kind of keep going 175 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.480 except for Christmas and Christmas Eve? 176 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.279 So they'll still be opened through the entire holidays. There'll 177 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.919 be some kind of judge on call, so there could 178 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.039 be maybe one or two days if he goes up 179 00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.200 on a weekend or on Christmas Day, but I wouldn't 180 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:06.039 expect either New Year's or Christmas to delay this significantly. 181 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:09.919 Okay, all right, ABC's Peter Hirelumbus, thank you so much 182 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.559 for the information. We'll be checking in with you again. 183 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:14.279 Thanks so much, Amy, appreciate. 184 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.639 Have a great day. Let's get back to some of 185 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.360 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 186 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:24.480 An LAPD detective with cybercrime expertise is suing the city. 187 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.879 The lawsuit alleges he was downgraded and stopped from doing 188 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.440 FBI work because he blew the whistle on a boss 189 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.440 who was allegedly working in the office during times he 190 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:38.240 was supposed to be doing overtime for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. 191 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.000 The city Attorney's office has not commented on the suit. 192 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.080 ABC's expected to pay fifteen million dollars to settle a 193 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:49.440 defamation lawsuit by President elect Trump. Trump's lawyers say George 194 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:55.279 Stephanopoulos knowingly or recklessly made multiple false, disparaging statements during 195 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.440 ABC News broadcasts. The fifteen million dollars will be transferred 196 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.600 to a present ssidential foundation and museum to be established 197 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.720 by or for Trump. According to the settlement terms released 198 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:10.120 on Saturday, ABC ABC News and Stephanopoulos will also pay 199 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.399 a million dollars to Trump's legal team and post a 200 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.000 note in an online article about the interview declaring that 201 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:21.039 they regret statements made about Trump. The woman who claimed 202 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.759 she was raped by three members of the Duke University 203 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.320 lacrosse team nearly twenty years ago now says she made 204 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:31.879 it up. I testified falsely against them by saying that 205 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.559 they raped mean when they didn't, and that was wrong. 206 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.600 Crystal Mangham admitted in a podcast that she falsely accused 207 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.720 the students of raping her in a restroom during an 208 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.600 off campus party in two thousand and six where she 209 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.080 was working as a stripper. Governor Roy Cooper, who was 210 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.519 the state attorney general at the time, dismissed all the 211 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.279 charges against the men because of a lack of evidence. 212 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.240 Mangham is currently in prison for the murder of her 213 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:02.120 boyfriend and is set to be released in six A 214 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:05.279 new survey shows one in four Americans are stressed about 215 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.039 the holidays. Ooh, we can add an to that list. 216 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:12.399 The poll by the American Psychiatric Association Foundation finds that 217 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:16.240 the three main stressors are paying for gifts, the loss 218 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.720 of a loved one, and complicated family dynamics. The Foundation's 219 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.080 executive director, Roll Andrews Junior, tells KFI people are more 220 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.080 stressed this year than they were a year ago. 221 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.960 So we certainly have seen over the last four years 222 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:34.279 that holiday stress is natural. Holiday stress is normal, and 223 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.679 we constantly remind folks there's no such thing as a 224 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:38.480 perfect holiday. 225 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.279 Speak for yourself, mister, no, I'm just kidding, he says. 226 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:44.200 The flip side is that forty one percent of people 227 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.000 surveyed say they can't wait to catch up with family 228 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.159 and friends. But for anyone who wants immediate help dealing 229 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.519 with depression about the holidays, he says, they can call, 230 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.440 text or chat with someone by dialing nine to eighty eight. 231 00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:02.240 It is a serious thing. Speaking of stress, the one 232 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:04.080 thing I am stressed about is that I am so 233 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.080 bad at mailing gifts and getting them in the mail 234 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:10.240 in time to get there for Christmas. I just wanted 235 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:13.840 to remind you because mailing deadlines are coming up for 236 00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:18.840 the Postal service. If you are sending stuff regular mail Wednesday, 237 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.360 things need to be in the mail for regular first 238 00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.720 class mail if you want them to get there before Christmas. 239 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.759 If you're going to go priority mail, the deadline is 240 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:32.840 this Thursday the eighteenth, and ooh is that right, Thursday 241 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:36.360 the eighth Yes, Thursday the nineteenth. Sorry, And then if 242 00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:40.440 you're doing a priority mail express, you have until Saturday, 243 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.080 but it's going to cost you an armload. And remember 244 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.240 we were talking about how people are getting scammed not 245 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.679 by the Postal Service, but by people saying they're the 246 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.279 Postal Service. I just got one the other day. So 247 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.799 here's the message on my text. US post you have 248 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:59.039 a USPS parcel being cleared. Due to the detection of 249 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:02.200 an invalid is ZIP code address, the parcel cannot be cleared. 250 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:06.559 The parcel is temporarily detained. Please confirm the zip code 251 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.320 information in this link within twenty four hours. And then 252 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.600 they have a link there and then it says please 253 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.440 reply with a why then exit the text message, open 254 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:17.200 it again to activate the link. Activate the link, and 255 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.200 then that's the issue. They want you to activate a 256 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.120 link and then put in personal information if you get something. 257 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.519 The US Postal Service does not send text messages like this, 258 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.879 but they do. It's it is confusing because I have 259 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.960 packages coming and I'm getting alert. It's like Hey, FedEx 260 00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:39.120 is delivering something today, so just be careful, don't get scammed. 261 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.240 It's the holidays, we want them to be happy days. 262 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.919 Santa Ana wins are expected to blow through southern California 263 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.480 again this week. Low humidity levels along with forty to 264 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.720 sixty mile per hour guests will lead to increased fire 265 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:55.559 danger from Tomorrow night through Thursday afternoon. The National Weather 266 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.639 Services this week's fire weather conditions will likely not be 267 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:02.440 as intense as life last week. Firefighters not only had 268 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:05.039 to deal with flames, but a swarm of bees at 269 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.440 a house and boil heights. More than fifty firefighters were 270 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.159 dispatched to the fire yesterday before noon on East New 271 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:13.320 Jersey Street. Flames had broken out in the crawl space 272 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:15.759 of a room added on to the back of a garage. 273 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.960 Firefighters had to deal with the swarm while protecting cars 274 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.919 in the garage. No one was hurt. Freddie Freeman's walk 275 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.399 off home run ball from Game one of the World 276 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:27.360 Series has sold it auction for one point five to 277 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:31.480 six million dollars. That's the third highest price ever paid 278 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:34.679 for a baseball show. Hey Otani's fifty to fifty home 279 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:39.080 run ball sold for almost four point four million dollars. 280 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.759 Let's say now good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen, 281 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.919 with all the attention focused on President elect Trump, President 282 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:50.080 Biden continues too, as the White House put it, get 283 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:51.720 things done. What's he doing? 284 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.600 That's that's what they're saying, and that he wants to 285 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.159 continue getting things done before leaving office in just a 286 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:01.080 couple of weeks. The freeze. We keep hearing and I 287 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:03.000 might have mentioned this to you a couple of weeks ago, 288 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.759 probably right after the election. They keep saying, we're running 289 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.840 through the tape. You know that they are not wasting 290 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:10.600 a single day. They're trying to get as much off 291 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.919 there to do list as they can, and everybody is 292 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.600 going full throttle, you know. 293 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.200 But for the. 294 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.440 President, there's only so much he can do in the 295 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.039 sense of he's not working with Congress right now. They're 296 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.679 not doing legislation that he would like to get done. 297 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:24.480 They have to fund the government by the end of 298 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:26.240 this week. They have there are things that they just 299 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:28.559 need to check off the to do list before leaving 300 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.840 for the holiday break. But for the White House, they're 301 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.360 trying to take action through executive action, through rules and 302 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.919 regulations at agency levels, but the White House says that 303 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.000 look for the President to do a couple of things. 304 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.120 One more action on clemency, pardons and commutations, following up 305 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.120 what he did last week. He'll take action on climate 306 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:50.960 issues like protecting lands and waters and working with state 307 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.840 and local leaders on other things like that. They also 308 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:56.039 indicate that he might take more action on student get 309 00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.159 relief and artificial intelligence, and also announce more funding from 310 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:02.399 the Chips in science back, which is of course a 311 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.559 very big priority for this administration. They want that money 312 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:07.400 out the door. So these are the things that they 313 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:10.000 can do. I think they'd like to try to do more. 314 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.440 But so much of this too by putting a memo 315 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:14.559 out like this from the White House over the weekend. 316 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.000 It's about messaging, you know, to trying to say like, 317 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.880 here's what we think of as our legacy, here's what 318 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.400 we're attempting to do right now. But it's challenging to 319 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.680 try to convince Americans that they're getting stuff done. Well. 320 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:32.000 Yeah, and it is interesting that there's this flurry of things. 321 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.279 Do you think that I know that he wants to 322 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:38.319 get stuff done before he leaves office, but maybe didn't 323 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.519 do these things before now because maybe thought that they 324 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:46.200 would have the next term to get these other things done. 325 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.079 You know, I don't think they tend to leave things 326 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:54.319 on the table, you know, anticipating another term, like politically, 327 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.119 that just wouldn't be smart, just in case, like you 328 00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.440 just never know. So I think that they try to 329 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.279 do it as much they can. I think the one 330 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:03.880 thing about a lot of their agenda is, and they 331 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.400 said this in the memo, their agenda is that that 332 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.119 some of the big pieces of legislation that the President's signed, 333 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:11.680 the Infliction Reduction Act, the Chips and Science Act, the 334 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.599 bypart is an infrastructure law. Those are not overnight pieces 335 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.400 of legislation where you can say, like, oh, here's the 336 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.599 infrastructure money. The bridge just got built while he is 337 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:24.160 still in office. This is going to take a long time. 338 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:27.400 The Chips and Science Act is massive investment. It's going 339 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:29.319 to create tens of thousands of jobs in some of 340 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.599 these communities. But again, not happening now. It's not going 341 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.799 to happen maybe in the next four years. And so 342 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.160 the White House is saying, you know, in this memo, 343 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.680 here's a line that a presidency is not measured in weeks, months, 344 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:44.039 or four year terms alone. Rather its impact is evaluated 345 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:47.440 for years and decades to come. They're really trying to 346 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:50.480 say that, yes, the approval ratings aren't great right now, 347 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.599 but they feel that down the road, the administration this 348 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.880 term will look better because of the investments that this 349 00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:57.720 president made. 350 00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.119 All about the legacy. Yeah, and I've heard by and 351 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:01.960 say that a couple of times. He's like, hey, we 352 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.400 did this, but you're not going to feel the benefits 353 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.319 of it for another ten years or so. And is 354 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.160 there just a real quick question before you go, Are 355 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:13.680 there things that he's doing now that Trump could undo 356 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.680 when he gets into office.
