Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: A M six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: It's time for swamp Watch.
Speaker 1: I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar,
Speaker 1: and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipop.
Speaker 2: Here we got.
Speaker 3: The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 2: The other side never quits.
Speaker 3: So what I'm not going anywhere so that now you
Speaker 3: train the squaw.
Speaker 2: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
Speaker 2: what has been. You know, Americans have always been gone
Speaker 2: at President. They're not stupid.
Speaker 1: A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2: Whether people voted for you were not. Swamp Watch, they're
Speaker 2: all countera.
Speaker 1: Well, this ongoing discussion about our response to the search
Speaker 1: for peace I suppose between the United States, Ukraine and Russia,
Speaker 1: NATO and everybody that's involved with that is getting even
Speaker 1: a little bit more confusing. Some new comments that came
Speaker 1: in today from President Trump. We heard from the National
Speaker 1: Security Advisor, Mike Walls about what's going on and these
Speaker 1: ongoing discussions. One of the issues that's going on right
Speaker 1: now is a discussion about a minerals agreement with the
Speaker 1: United States, and according to Mike Walls, he says that
Speaker 1: he expects to see the signature of Ukraine on this
Speaker 1: minerals deal very soon.
Speaker 4: Here's the bottom line. President Selenski is going to sign
Speaker 4: that deal and you will.
Speaker 2: See that in the very short term. And that is
Speaker 2: good for Ukraine.
Speaker 4: What better could you have for Ukraine than to be
Speaker 4: in an economic partnership with the United States. Now, we
Speaker 4: have an obligation to you, all, the American taxpayer, to
Speaker 4: recoup the hundreds of billions of dollars that had been
Speaker 4: invested in this war. Europe's contributions are in the form
Speaker 4: of loans.
Speaker 1: Now this proposed partnership again, this minerals deal that they're
Speaker 1: talking about, and it is basically, if you want the
Speaker 1: United States to guarantee security, we're going to need some
Speaker 1: of our money back. And the way you can do
Speaker 1: that is give us access to some of your deposits
Speaker 1: of aluminum and gallium and tritium materials that are going
Speaker 1: to be essential for tech manufacturing, nuclear research, semiconductors, all
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. And this agreement, if you want
Speaker 1: to call it. That is also being positioned in a
Speaker 1: way for us to get back some of the investment
Speaker 1: that USA to Ukraine. Is somewhere above one hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy five billion. I've seen an estimate as high as
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty billion, but that we would basically
Speaker 1: recoup about fifty percent of all of the minerals that
Speaker 1: exist that Ukraine would put on the market.
Speaker 2: We'd get some of that back.
Speaker 1: It goes a little bit further than that, because Donald
Speaker 1: Trump continues to say that Vladimir Zelensky used the term
Speaker 1: dictator the other day to suggest that that Vladimir Zelensky
Speaker 1: is a dictator, not that Vladimir Putin is. He did
Speaker 1: this morning acknowledge on Brian Kilmead's show on Fox Radio.
Speaker 1: He did acknowledge that it was Putin that started the
Speaker 1: war in Ukraine, but then went on to say that
Speaker 1: it is still Vladimir's Lensky who is responsible for a
Speaker 1: lot of what's happened since that, But that's Russia's fault though.
Speaker 3: Russia two thousand year old home.
Speaker 1: He's talking about the destruction now in the Ukrainian cities,
Speaker 1: and Brian Kilney was trying to tell him. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that was the Russian Army controlled by Putin that did.
Speaker 3: That, and everything's demolished. It was like a demolition site,
Speaker 3: though it's sort of like Gaza. In fact, it's more
Speaker 3: to at least Gaza has a couple of buildings standing
Speaker 3: here this place. You take a look at the demolition
Speaker 3: of so many of those cities and all those those
Speaker 3: people are killed, never to come back again.
Speaker 2: But mister president, that's that's Vladimir Putin's fault.
Speaker 3: I get tired of listening to it. I'll tell you
Speaker 3: what I've seen it enough. And then he complains that
Speaker 3: he's not at a meeting that we're having with sort
Speaker 3: of Arabia trying to intermediate at piece. Well, he's been
Speaker 3: at meetings for three years with a very with a
Speaker 3: president who didn't know what ally was doing. He's been
Speaker 3: at the meetings for three years and nothing got done.
Speaker 2: So okay.
Speaker 1: This has gotten a lot of pushback from conservatives from republicans.
Speaker 1: Retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, who happens to be the
Speaker 1: Special Envoy for the situation in Ukraine and Russia, was
Speaker 1: just over in Kiev and spoke with Zelensky and said
Speaker 1: that he is an embattled, courageous leader of a nation
Speaker 1: at war and his talented national security team. That's not
Speaker 1: calling him a dictator at all. Mark Levin, the commentator
Speaker 1: on Fox News, also rebuked the president and talked about
Speaker 1: this and said, I don't know why there are people
Speaker 1: that not only oppose Zelensky but seemed to support Putin.
Speaker 1: He said again, Mark Levin, I understand there needs to
Speaker 1: be peace between these two countries, but I think Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is uniquely able to do that. But there cannot
Speaker 1: be peace at any cost. And the New York Post
Speaker 1: front page New York Post a giant picture of Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, a giant picture of Vladimir Putin. Apologies, A
Speaker 1: giant picture of Putin with the bold headline this is
Speaker 1: a dictator. So he's not getting a lot of support
Speaker 1: from some people in the conservative movement his description of
Speaker 1: Zelenski as the dictator in all of this. Also in
Speaker 1: d C, President Trump is apparently preparing to dissolve the
Speaker 1: leadership of the Postal Service and absorb the independent agency
Speaker 1: into the administration that would put it under the control
Speaker 1: of the Commerce Department. Board is planning to fight the order.
Speaker 1: Three of those people told the Washington Post that they
Speaker 1: had an emergency meeting last night. The board did retain
Speaker 1: outside council and gave instructions to sue the White House
Speaker 1: if the President signs an executive order to remove members
Speaker 1: of the Board or attempt to alter the independent status
Speaker 1: in any way. And then, finally, in the Senate last night,
Speaker 1: the Republican controlled Senate spent all night into this morning
Speaker 1: to put together a three hundred and forty billion dollar
Speaker 1: budget blueprint designed to boost funding for the Trump's immigration
Speaker 1: enforcement efforts, energy production, the military. This was a mostly
Speaker 1: party line vote that came up just before would be
Speaker 1: five in the morning DC time, following a bunch of
Speaker 1: votes throughout the course of the night. Senators cast votes
Speaker 1: on thirty three different amendments over the course of ten hours,
Speaker 1: So the final vote on this Republican controlled Senate budget
Speaker 1: plan fifty two to forty eight. The only Republican who
Speaker 1: voted against it would have been Rand Paul out of Kentucky.
Speaker 1: All right, quick, wellness segment, you got some exercises coming
Speaker 1: up this weekend.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a beautiful weekend.
Speaker 1: The difference between body weight exercises and weight weight exercises
Speaker 1: you know, actual throwing the plates around. I have some
Speaker 1: breaking news. LA Mayor Karen Bass today met with and
Speaker 1: fired the chief of the LA Fire Department. She met
Speaker 1: with and fired Kristin Crowley as the fire chief. She
Speaker 1: has appointed former Chief Deputy Ronnie Vianueva, forty one year
Speaker 1: old LA Fire Department veteran, as the interim fire chief.
Speaker 1: There is expected to be a news conference about twenty
Speaker 1: minutes from now, so we'll get into this. She did
Speaker 1: put out a statement set acting in the best interests
Speaker 1: of LA public safety and for the operations of the
Speaker 1: LA Fire Department, I have removed Kristin Crowley as fire chief.
Speaker 1: We know that a thousand firefighters that could have been
Speaker 1: on duty on the morning the January seventh were instead
Speaker 1: sent home on Chief Crowley's watch. Furthermore necessary step to
Speaker 1: an investigation was the president of the Fire Commission telling
Speaker 1: Chief Crowley to do an after action report on the fires,
Speaker 1: and that the chief refused. Pardon the pun, but it's
Speaker 1: starting to heat up our trending stories, which are now
Speaker 1: being overtaken by a bunch of developing stories.
Speaker 2: Again. The big story right.
Speaker 1: Now is that Mayor Karen Bass of LA has fired
Speaker 1: the chief of the LA Fire Department.
Speaker 2: She has fired.
Speaker 1: Krista Crowley will take that news conference, we hope when
Speaker 1: it comes along at about eleven forty five. So a
Speaker 1: lot of people believe that if you're going to build
Speaker 1: up strength, you're going to build up your muscles, you
Speaker 1: need to set a weights or a gym membership. But
Speaker 1: that is not the case. That's where we start our
Speaker 1: little wellness segment. I feel terrible.
Speaker 2: He spends most of his day at the office city
Speaker 2: the Nation in Doro, a variety of activities. I'm preferably
Speaker 2: some exercise late in the afternoon. I never exercised a day.
Speaker 1: In my line.
Speaker 2: You just got to sit here and wait to die.
Speaker 1: Every morning.
Speaker 3: That smoke a cigarette, and for lunch, I eat a
Speaker 3: bacon sandwich and I usually drink my dinner.
Speaker 1: It's time for Gary and Shannon's Periodic Guide for Wellness
Speaker 1: and Personal Improvement for your health. So the research suggests
Speaker 1: that for most people, you do not need to have weights.
Speaker 1: You don't have to go through a GM gym membership
Speaker 1: to pack on some muscle, and that's good for all
Speaker 1: of us, no matter what age you are, no matter
Speaker 1: how in shape or out of shape, you happen to be.
Speaker 2: Your body doesn't care.
Speaker 1: Your body doesn't care if you're doing a push up
Speaker 1: or you're laying on your back and you're doing bench press.
Speaker 1: The muscle itself is agnostic. All it recognizes is the
Speaker 1: tension on the muscle. The secret to the success, however,
Speaker 1: appears to be failure. Exercise scientist a guy named James Steele,
Speaker 1: is the head of research at Kaiser Australia, a chain
Speaker 1: of exercise clinics health clinics, and said, no matter how
Speaker 1: you do it, whether it's weights, body weight, whatever, training
Speaker 1: fundamentally requires you to exercise your muscle until it's almost exhausted.
Speaker 1: In order to get stronger, you got to get to
Speaker 1: the point where you almost can't go on, and then
Speaker 1: that's when you see the progress.
Speaker 2: If your goal is just to get stronger.
Speaker 1: A bunch of different studies that show you can get
Speaker 1: similar results from bodyweight exercises or actually lifting weights. There
Speaker 1: was a stuf, for example, in Minnesota, where doctor Steele
Speaker 1: asked regular exercisers there in Minnesota to switch from their
Speaker 1: weight room routine to a body weight routine that they
Speaker 1: could do at their own home, and they said the
Speaker 1: change in strength at least over those three weeks.
Speaker 2: Was similar.
Speaker 1: In Japan, they did an experiment as well that compared
Speaker 1: push ups to bench press and they resulted in the
Speaker 1: same strength gain, the same muscle gain, and then a
Speaker 1: smaller study. This is what probably is what you're thinking about,
Speaker 1: is well, how do you get better? How once you
Speaker 1: can do ten pushups, how do you get to fifteen
Speaker 1: or twenty or make yourself stronger once you hit that plateau.
Speaker 1: If you increase the weight and still do your ten
Speaker 1: bench presses and just increase the weight, keep the reps
Speaker 1: the same, you're going to increase strength. But they said
Speaker 1: the same thing happens when you increase the reps at
Speaker 1: the same weight, which would be what you do, and
Speaker 1: you're doing your push ups and outther word, it's the
Speaker 1: effort that counts. It is not what you're lifting. And
Speaker 1: then as you get stronger, the exercises you do naturally
Speaker 1: get easier. You may have to find some ways to
Speaker 1: make them a little bit, you know, bump up the
Speaker 1: effort level. For push ups, it's probably relatively easy. You
Speaker 1: can put your feet up on a chair or something
Speaker 1: like that, or a bench behind you, and that will
Speaker 1: slightly change the angle which how you hit the pectoral
Speaker 1: but also makes it a little bit harder for you
Speaker 1: to do that, to do that exercise. And in terms
Speaker 1: of weights, there's a little bit higher risk of injury.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can drop a weight on your foot, Jacob,
Speaker 1: You ever done that? You ever drop a forty five
Speaker 1: pound plate on your foot?
Speaker 2: Never? Twenty five pound plate? Nope? Fifteen pound, no, ten? No,
Speaker 2: five no.
Speaker 1: But I have hurt myself squatting. I'm not hurt, but
Speaker 1: I still rack the weight though. You still got it
Speaker 1: all the way up to the road. Yeah, okay, good
Speaker 1: for you. I only will they able to do it twice?
Speaker 1: And from our wellness segment, we'll go to our dog
Speaker 1: wellness segment in just a couple of minutes. How the
Speaker 1: dog's sleeping pattern tells us how wild they actually are.
Speaker 1: Of course, the breaking news is that La Mayor Karen
Speaker 1: Bass has fired the head of the LA Fire Department.
Speaker 1: We'll be talking about that coming up in just a
Speaker 1: couple minutes and go to a news conference that we
Speaker 1: expect Mayor Bass to have about this decision. The La
Speaker 1: Mayor Karen Bass has removed LAFD Fire Chief Kristin Crowley,
Speaker 1: effective immediately.
Speaker 2: That word just came down a short time ago.
Speaker 1: The expectation is that the mayor is going to hold
Speaker 1: a news conference here in about ten minutes or so.
Speaker 2: We'll bring it to you live.
Speaker 1: Mayor Bass met with and removed Kristin Crowley as fire chief,
Speaker 1: effective immediately. This is a statement from the Mayor's office.
Speaker 1: Mayor Bass announced that she has appointed former Chief Deputy
Speaker 1: Ronnie Viennaweva, forty one year LAFD veteran, as the interim
Speaker 1: fire chief.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: The news conference scheduled about ten minutes from now. As
Speaker 1: she goes into the details, yesterday was not a She
Speaker 1: did an interview, like we said, with Elix Michaelson from
Speaker 1: Channel eleven and seemed to point the finger at Kristen
Speaker 1: Crowley for not telling her that there was a giant
Speaker 1: wind event that could potentially give give her the heads
Speaker 1: up to stay in the country. Remember, she was in Ghana,
Speaker 1: attacked attending an inauguration when the firestorm broke out. On
Speaker 1: January seventh. Another developed couple developing stories Number one. In Louisville, Kentucky,
Speaker 1: three people were killed in the shooting outside a driver
Speaker 1: licensing center the Louisville Metro police said they were called
Speaker 1: around noon today Louisville time for a shooting at the
Speaker 1: driver License Regional office in Valley Station, Kentucky, and one
Speaker 1: man was dead and apparently two women died at the hospital.
Speaker 2: And then an.
Speaker 1: Explosion also at a resort on Maui right around sunset
Speaker 1: last night, injured several people smoking debris clouded. The clouded
Speaker 1: this setting up the Whaler Resort on the Connopoly Parkway.
Speaker 2: They're on the Connopoli side of Maui.
Speaker 1: So dogs look great when they're sleeping, right, they're always
Speaker 1: the Sometimes you're lucky, you get them to fall on
Speaker 1: their back and they fall asleep and it's just their adorbs.
Speaker 1: And domestic dogs have largely diurnal sleeping habits, which means
Speaker 1: they're awake during the day.
Speaker 2: They sleep at night like us.
Speaker 1: And that's because over the course of many deck centuries
Speaker 1: millennia of domestication, they adapt it to our schedule and
Speaker 1: most of their sleep happens during the night. But obviously
Speaker 1: they have frequent bouts of sleeping during the daytime, particularly
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. Sometimes it's a little bit misleading because
Speaker 1: dogs will simply relax with their eyes closed, and you
Speaker 1: think that they're sleeping, they're just they're just hanging out.
Speaker 1: The dog's ancestor, the gray wolf, tends to show more
Speaker 1: nocturnal activity or crepuscular sleep patterns. In the wild, wolves
Speaker 1: can show high variability in their activity with human disturbance.
Speaker 1: Of course, food availability, weather conditions all influence their sleep cycles.
Speaker 1: Captive wolves, like dogs, typically have that circadian rhythm that's
Speaker 1: like ours or like a domesticated dog, where they sleep
Speaker 1: at night, they get up and walk around during the day.
Speaker 1: They said that free ranging domestic dogs are more inclined
Speaker 1: to resemble wild canines in their sleep cycles, a greater
Speaker 1: propensity towards crepuscular nocturnal activity. In urban areas, feral dogs
Speaker 1: may align their sleeping habits with human activity, even though
Speaker 1: they're technically wild and just like us. Dogs have a
Speaker 1: bunch of different sleep stages. They have the drowsiness, they
Speaker 1: have lighter non rapid eye movement n REM sleep they
Speaker 1: call it, and then the deeper REM sleep where most
Speaker 1: of the dreams happen just like ours. I mean, dogs
Speaker 1: dreaming is one of the funniest videos that you could
Speaker 1: ever watch because they go out, they go nuts, and
Speaker 1: they kind of half bark, some of them get up
Speaker 1: and run. Dogs devote more of their total sleep time
Speaker 1: to that REM sleep than do humans. They get about
Speaker 1: three hours a day. We only get about two hours
Speaker 1: a day if we're lucky. A study in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two that involved researchers cuddling with dogs and socialized wolves
Speaker 1: to sleep found that dogs spend less time in wren's
Speaker 1: sleep than even wolves do, but they said both species
Speaker 1: spend a similar amount of time in the other stages
Speaker 1: of sleep. So the question is whether REM sleep is
Speaker 1: related to that domestication. How in the species which are
Speaker 1: at high risk of being attacked while asleep spend less
Speaker 1: time in REM sleep. Think about it, it's because the
Speaker 1: domesticated dogs can relax they're not going to be attacked
Speaker 1: by some other predator. Dogs engage in their deepest sleep
Speaker 1: during the night. Their daytime naps are relatively light, and
Speaker 1: like other animals rats, hedgehogs, dogs, et cetera, they wake
Speaker 1: up after a period of REMS sleep, usually an adaptation
Speaker 1: that's designed to force them out of their sleep in
Speaker 1: order to wake up and look around, basically, wake up
Speaker 1: and check their environment. The frequent brief sleep awake cycles
Speaker 1: allow dogs to adjust the changes in their routine more
Speaker 1: readily than humans do. Drug detection dogs, for example, they
Speaker 1: cope remarkably well with changes to their work schedule. It
Speaker 1: doesn't disrupt their sleep patterns at all. Some of the
Speaker 1: more well trained dogs that you know, whether it's an
Speaker 1: actual working dog or somebody who just trains their dog well,
Speaker 1: those dogs sleep great. They sleep wherever whenever. As with people,
Speaker 1: the duration the quality of sleeping dogs can fluctuate from
Speaker 1: day to day and over their life span. As the
Speaker 1: dogs get older, sleep becomes more fragmented, they get fewer
Speaker 1: rems sleep hours at night. Other factors including the canine sex,
Speaker 1: the daytime activity, their welfare, the environmental conditions, even social
Speaker 1: interactions can affect their sleep quality.
Speaker 2: It's just like us.
Speaker 1: Deprivation in daytime napping usually leads to quicker sleep onset
Speaker 1: and then longer rem sleep at night, both for dogs
Speaker 1: and for other animals like us. Now, this is a
Speaker 1: funny thing, but scientists still say they don't agree on
Speaker 1: why dogs or other animals sleep. We do know it's
Speaker 1: a lot about physically rebuilding, physical restoration, even memory consolidation,
Speaker 1: which we've talked about.
Speaker 2: We talked about earlier this week.
Speaker 1: The memory consolidation, the brainwashing that your head goes through
Speaker 1: when you're asleep, sort of getting rid of all the junk,
Speaker 1: filing away some of these memories for the future, all
Speaker 1: of that stuff. They said, it's the most studied function
Speaker 1: of sleep. Most of this work points to sleep's important
Speaker 1: role in facilitating learning. In fact, in twenty seventeen, researchers
Speaker 1: and Hungary found the dog's memory recall significantly improved when
Speaker 1: the animals were taught unfamiliar words and then.
Speaker 2: Allowed to take a three hour nap. Man. That sounds great.
Speaker 2: That sounds awesome.
Speaker 1: One of the big stories that we're following today was
Speaker 1: a couple of drivers were hit with rocks overnight on
Speaker 1: freeways here in LA just before midnight. Somebody was injured
Speaker 1: when his vehicle was hit by a rock. He was
Speaker 1: driving right near the westbound ten and then the southbound
Speaker 1: one ten when a rock or a piece of stone
Speaker 1: crack through the windshield hit him right before midnight.
Speaker 2: Had to go to the hospital.
Speaker 1: Another driver reported a similar incident on the northbound one
Speaker 1: ten freeway right near the Adams Boulevard.
Speaker 2: Canada. Canadia.
Speaker 1: Canada's men's hockey team defeated the USA three to two
Speaker 1: and overtime last night in what started out as an
Speaker 1: amazing Four Nations face off championship game between the USA
Speaker 1: and Canada. No fights, at least none like we saw
Speaker 1: the first time they met earlier in the tournament, when
Speaker 1: there were three fights in nine seconds. Canadian Prime Minister
Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau took to trash talking right away and said,
Speaker 1: you can't take our country and you can't take our game.
Speaker 2: Yankees are playing right now.
Speaker 1: They're taking on Tampa Bay and that Yankees have made
Speaker 1: the stunning decision to allow their players to grow beards
Speaker 1: after forty nine years of banning all facial hair. They
Speaker 1: put out a memo that said, you can now have
Speaker 1: a clean cut beard when you're playing for the New
Speaker 1: York Yankees. Well, what else is going on?
Speaker 2: Oh? I'm sorry, that was my fault. Did I tell
Speaker 2: you the thing? Yeah, there is time four. What's happened? Sorry?
Speaker 1: I was probably sitting on the button that I apologize.
Speaker 1: Internal Revenue Service has begun laying off more than six
Speaker 1: thousand new and newly promoted employees around the country. This
Speaker 1: is all part of the administration's campaign to shrink the
Speaker 1: federal workforce could have potential consequences for the current tax
Speaker 1: filing system the season. I should say the layoffs are
Speaker 1: about six or maybe seven percent of the workforce for
Speaker 1: the IRS. Most of them began outside the DC area.
Speaker 1: There are employees facing layoffs at IRS offices in Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: New York, and beyond. As of the this morning, about
Speaker 1: five hundred jobs were expected to be lost in Texas.
Speaker 1: The layoffs could continue today some more IRS offices around
Speaker 1: the country because weather conditions might prevent managers and employees
Speaker 1: from getting to work, according to an email that was
Speaker 1: sent to managers of those pro probationary employees that was
Speaker 1: obtained by ABC. We've been following this story as well
Speaker 1: the Menendez brothers resentencing case. Nathan Hockman is going to
Speaker 1: hold a news conference later today. It's supposed to be
Speaker 1: about one o'clock. Of course, this is the Menendez brother's case.
Speaker 1: They'd been scheduled to appear in court in the resentencing
Speaker 1: case from January thirtieth because their bid for freedom after
Speaker 1: being sentenced to life from prison for the murder of
Speaker 1: those parents. That hearing will now take place towards the
Speaker 1: end of March because they canceled everything and pushed it
Speaker 1: back simply because of the wild wildfires preparations. Apparently I
Speaker 1: had an impact on the attorneys that were involved when that.
Speaker 1: With that, Nathan Hockman said he has met with the
Speaker 1: Menendaz brother relatives. Said he's still reviewing the facts in
Speaker 1: the case and has not yet decided in support of
Speaker 1: the brother's bid for freedom.
Speaker 2: But we will see what he says today.
Speaker 1: Orange County DA Todd Spitzer says that Chilean crime rings
Speaker 1: continue to terrorize people in the United States and is
Speaker 1: calling for the country of Chile to be removed from
Speaker 1: a US visa waiver program. He said, this is the
Speaker 1: biggest secret in Washington that no one seems to want
Speaker 1: to do anything about.
Speaker 2: It's tourism burglary.
Speaker 1: There was an indictment of seven Chilean nationals accused of
Speaker 1: burglarizing homes of professional athletes, including Kansas City Chief star
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Traffis Kelsey. Several basketball players were also targeted.
Speaker 1: Spitzer said there's a twenty one dollars online application, there's
Speaker 1: no background check, and every other South American country that
Speaker 1: has participated in the last in the past, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: has been kicked out of the program for sending their
Speaker 1: criminals to the United States, as he's briefed the FBI
Speaker 1: on the threat of these gangs back when Kevin McCarthy
Speaker 1: was still the House Speaker, but nothing came of it.
Speaker 1: A study suggests that the real estate losses from our
Speaker 1: Palisades and Eaten fires could exceed thirty billion dollars. The
Speaker 1: newspaper compared La Times compared estimated property values from the
Speaker 1: assessor's office with the assessments from CalFire of structures that
Speaker 1: were damaged or destroyed. Fifty six percent of all structures
Speaker 1: in the Palisades fire, more than half of the Palisades
Speaker 1: completely leveled by the fire. And they said about half
Speaker 1: of the properties in the city of Altadena destroyed during
Speaker 1: the Eton fire. And that includes hundreds of commercial buildings,
Speaker 1: but the buildings obviously, but the vast majority of them
Speaker 1: were private homes, single family homes, condos, apartment units, things
Speaker 1: like that. So the property loss at about twenty two
Speaker 1: billion in the Palisades and another seven point eight billion
Speaker 1: dollars in Altadena. Speaking of there are some sales that
Speaker 1: have materialized. People have given up on their properties in
Speaker 1: some of those places. In the aftermath of the Palisades fire,
Speaker 1: there was a plot of land where obviously a home
Speaker 1: once stood and had been burned down. It sold for
Speaker 1: one point two million dollars. The realtors who were selling
Speaker 1: it tried to put a spin on it and say
Speaker 1: that it is a blank canvas. This was a long
Speaker 1: Avenida de la Heradura, previously home to one of the
Speaker 1: previously home to a home that was consumed by the fire.
Speaker 2: Now still uncertain in terms of what they're going to
Speaker 2: do with it.
Speaker 1: The lot itself has garnered a lot of attention because
Speaker 1: it's a prime piece of real estate. But how long
Speaker 1: does it take, even with a blank slate like that,
Speaker 1: how long does it take before you could actually have
Speaker 1: a home on that thing. There was a story out
Speaker 1: of San Diego. The Sheriff's office down there identified a
Speaker 1: fifty three year old woman as the suspect in the
Speaker 1: killing of Rebecca Morodi, a thirty year firefighter veteran CalFire
Speaker 1: captain who has found stab to death in her home.
Speaker 2: The wife apparently is the one that did it.
Speaker 1: They had been married for a little over two years.
Speaker 1: No suspected motive has been released. The fire captain was
Speaker 1: suffering from multiple stab wounds on Monday night when deputies
Speaker 1: responded to that home. And then finally, a judge has
Speaker 1: denied nor Walk's request to dismiss a lawsuit that the
Speaker 1: State of California filed against the city over its proposed
Speaker 1: ban on emergency homeless shelters. Now the La County Superior
Speaker 1: Court in this case also dismissed the city council as
Speaker 1: a defendant in the lawsuit state officials filed last year
Speaker 1: while accusing the city of violating several California laws. City
Speaker 1: report detailed the proposed ban on said that such establishments
Speaker 1: may have detrimental effects on the local community. During a
Speaker 1: meeting back in September, several people spoke both in opposition
