Speaker 4: Thank you, Nick, it's five seven on your Thursday morning
Speaker 4: wake up call. Let's say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen,
Speaker 4: the President and the man who will be president sat
Speaker 4: down for a meeting yesterday.
Speaker 8: How did it go did yesterday? I mean, it was
Speaker 8: quite a photo op just to see this moment. It
Speaker 8: was very brief when the cameras were let into the
Speaker 8: Oval Office, but to paint the picture for you, they
Speaker 8: were seated side by side in front of a roaring fire,
Speaker 8: which President Biden loves to do and people come to
Speaker 8: visit him. In the Oval Office, we saw the President
Speaker 8: offer his congratulations to Trump and say welcome back to
Speaker 8: the White House and that he was going to do
Speaker 8: everything we can to make sure you're accommodated. He said,
Speaker 8: we'll get you what you need. The President elect said
Speaker 8: that politics is tough and in many cases it's not
Speaker 8: a very nice world. But he said it's a nice
Speaker 8: world today and he appreciates that very much. He repeated
Speaker 8: that later when he said that you know, the transition
Speaker 8: will be as smooth as it can get and that
Speaker 8: he appreciates that very much from the Biden team. Yeah,
Speaker 8: but we talked about this just how striking the moment
Speaker 8: was that four years ago they didn't have a meeting
Speaker 8: like this. President Trump did not invite Joe Biden to
Speaker 8: the White House after his election win. But yesterday it
Speaker 8: was pleasantries. It was handshakes and smiles, and then a
Speaker 8: two hour meeting, And the White House was pointing to
Speaker 8: that to show that they had a lot to talk about,
Speaker 8: that it was a good meeting. They called it very cordial,
Speaker 8: very gracious, substantive and exchange of views, and that it
Speaker 8: went pretty long. They had a lot to talk about
Speaker 8: on national security and domestic policy issues.
Speaker 4: Karen, do they give us readouts on that? I mean,
Speaker 4: like you know, curin JOm Pierre kind of said, here's
Speaker 4: what they talked about, But did they tell us specifically?
Speaker 4: Are these private conversations between two leaders.
Speaker 8: I think they were pretty candid talking about what they
Speaker 8: talked about. I mean her from the National Security Advisor
Speaker 8: Jake Sullivan yesterday who said that the President reinforced his
Speaker 8: view that the US standing with and supporting Ukraine is
Speaker 8: in the national security interests because a strong and stable
Speaker 8: Europe and standing up to aggressors and dictate is vital
Speaker 8: to making sure the United States doesn't get dragged directly
Speaker 8: into a war. This was an important point the President
Speaker 8: brought up and also said that the administration intends to
Speaker 8: spend all the money that Congress has approved on behalf
Speaker 8: of Ukraine before they leave office, you know. And I
Speaker 8: think certain questions that we were asking, the White House
Speaker 8: will say, we'll leave that to the private meeting. But
Speaker 8: I think it was notable how much they were willing
Speaker 8: to talk about this afterwards.
Speaker 4: And was it more President Biden talking and Trump listening,
Speaker 4: like Biden saying, here's what we're doing, here's what we
Speaker 4: want to do, here's what we have done, or do
Speaker 4: we know?
Speaker 8: They called it an exchange of views, and they're not
Speaker 8: going to get into how many minutes each one talked.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you mentioned that fire, Like everything that I
Speaker 1: was watching yesterday was like, did you see that fire?
Speaker 1: Did you see that fire? That was a really big fire?
Speaker 1: Is that really common? I've never seen a fire comment.
Speaker 8: He does it every time any world leader when it
Speaker 8: drops below like fifty two degre in Washington. It was
Speaker 8: just very cold there, Okay, members of Congress, it's a
Speaker 8: cold building. It's a little bit drafty in the building.
Speaker 8: But he also I think just enjoys it. But they
Speaker 8: do a very nice job tending that fire. I'm very
Speaker 8: jealous of their ability to keep it going like that.
Speaker 4: I know it's a real fire. You could hear the
Speaker 4: like it was burning so hot. You could hear the crackling,
Speaker 4: and stuff looked great.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: So Trump is continuing to name his choices for his administration,
Speaker 4: and who do we find out about yesterday?
Speaker 8: Yesterday the big headline was the President saying he's going
Speaker 8: to nominate Matt Gates, Republican Congressman from Florida, until last
Speaker 8: night when he resigned from his position to be the
Speaker 8: Attorney General, which was a really shocking announcement. Yesterday, we
Speaker 8: are told that when House Republicans were meeting on Capitol
Speaker 8: Hill behind closed doors, there were audible gasps in the
Speaker 8: room when they found out that this was Trump's pick.
Speaker 8: I mean, that's how shocking it was. He was not
Speaker 8: on the shortlist that we were told about. He was
Speaker 8: not somebody that was even being vetted for the job.
Speaker 8: Like this really came out of nowhere. And just to underline,
Speaker 8: you know the significance of this. If you were to
Speaker 8: be confirmed, he would lead the Justice Department, of course,
Speaker 8: but For years, the Justice Department was leading an investigation
Speaker 8: into Gates for alleged obstruction of justice and alleged sex trafficking.
Speaker 8: They closed that investigation last year without bringing any charges.
Speaker 8: He has denied wrongdoing, but he was still facing an
Speaker 8: investigation by the House Ethics Committee for sexual misconduct and
Speaker 8: illicit drug use. That investigation was still ongoing. But when
Speaker 8: he resigned his position from Congress last night, that investigation
Speaker 8: comes to an end.
Speaker 1: It just goes. So can there be a criminal investigation
Speaker 1: because that.
Speaker 8: Was had been from the Justice Department, but they ended
Speaker 8: it last year.
Speaker 4: Oh but they okay, wow, okay, And I had a
Speaker 4: question because we don't We don't really know until they
Speaker 4: go up and actually go for confirmation. But they're like
Speaker 4: Matt Gates, who's obviously controversial. If he doesn't get it,
Speaker 4: then do they just go, you know what he can't
Speaker 4: get through, bring up another one, or do they keep
Speaker 4: trying to.
Speaker 8: Push all the nomination. I mean, he could get pulled
Speaker 8: before they even get to a hearing. They could pull
Speaker 8: it during a hearing. You know, they have a lot
Speaker 8: of options to do that. They could plow forward. You know,
Speaker 8: I think there were a lot of questions among senators
Speaker 8: yesterday about whether he could get to the votes needed
Speaker 8: to be confirmed. There was a lot of skepticism about that.
Speaker 8: So perhaps that means, you know, they don't get to
Speaker 8: the point of a hearing. But you know, obviously Donald
Speaker 8: Trump is somebody who stands by his picks. And we'll
Speaker 8: see where this goes.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we will be watching. Karen Travers. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you.
Speaker 8: Have a great day.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 4: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 4: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Incoming La County

Speaker 1: Hold on? How about this one?

Speaker 7: Torres police help get people out of the building while
Speaker 7: the bomb squad for the La County Sheriff's Department investigated
Speaker 7: a suspicious looking bag on a park bench just thirty
Speaker 7: feet away from the entrance to the courthouse. He's deployed
Speaker 7: a robot to assess the scene, and that robot determined
Speaker 7: that the bag was safe. A little over three hours later,
Speaker 7: a witness says that a camera showed someone in a
Speaker 7: hoodie placing the package on the bench. No arrests have
Speaker 7: been made, and the FBI is now assisting with the investigation.

Speaker 4: News brought to you by Ruterhiroo dot Com. A federal

Speaker 4: Department of Veterans Affairs to stall efforts to build more
Speaker 4: than one hundred temporary housing units for homeless veterans at

Speaker 4: issued a temporary stay of the judge's order. More legal
Speaker 4: wrangling is expected. Ten registered sex offenders in Lake Matthews
Speaker 4: have been arrested for failing probation and compliance checks. The
Speaker 4: Riverside County Sheriff's Department says officials did checks at about

Speaker 4: apparently been found in Texas, but her family says it's
Speaker 4: not her.
Speaker 9: What I saw was a woman that did not look
Speaker 9: like my cousin. She was much skinnier this woman in
Speaker 9: this bodycam footage. She was wearing things that my cousin
Speaker 9: would not normally wear, and her voice was different.
Speaker 1: Danielle Tory Singh says she hasn't heard from her cousin
Speaker 1: Chanel Banks since the day before Halloween. Messages posted on
Speaker 1: banks social media claim that she was abused by her
Speaker 1: family and indicated she willingly left to as they read,
Speaker 1: escape my cage. Banks's husband said yesterday he believes the
Speaker 1: woman in Texas is his wife, but said he has
Speaker 1: not spoken to her. A Democratic State assembly woman from
Speaker 1: the San Joaquin Valley says she's concerned California's new fuel
Speaker 1: standards will hurt workers in her district.
Speaker 10: Jobs in farming industry, which my large rural district relies on,
Speaker 10: oftentimes requires workers to travel long distances. These are the
Speaker 10: hard working families that can least afford an increase in
Speaker 10: the cost of living.
Speaker 4: Es Merelda Soriyah says the recent decision by State Air
Speaker 4: Resources Board could raise the price of gas by forty

Speaker 4: for the upcoming Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summer Summit. This
Speaker 4: is the third time Biden and she will speak face

Speaker 4: new users in the week since the election.

Speaker 11: and celebrities, have posted memes and shared they were looking
Speaker 11: forward to using a space free from advertisements and hate speech.
Speaker 11: Some said it reminded them of the early days of
Speaker 11: X when it was still Twitter. Mark Ronner KFI News.
Speaker 4: Disneyland's on again off against sales of Magic Key passes
Speaker 4: are off again. Disney halted sales of all levels of
Speaker 4: the popular annual passes after just one week.
Speaker 1: I thought that was.
Speaker 4: Interesting, and Nick poulio'keeni and I both have passes and
Speaker 4: we just renewed them because if you have a pass,
Speaker 4: you can renew it. But I think this was for
Speaker 4: new sales, and Nick kind of interesting that they pulled
Speaker 4: it after just a week.
Speaker 2: I'm really surprised. And I also was a price jump
Speaker 2: as well if you saw that, So not only was
Speaker 2: it a it was a price increase on top of
Speaker 2: new sales. So I'm curious if that had anything to
Speaker 2: do with it, If that was if they're going to
Speaker 2: look at a price restructuring.
Speaker 4: Well, if it could be one of two things, And
Speaker 4: of course we're just speculating here, but it could be
Speaker 4: like you said, that they jacked the prices up and
Speaker 4: people weren't buying them, or demand was so high because
Speaker 4: they only sell a certain amount of passes, demand was
Speaker 4: so high they cut it off.
Speaker 3: Right, which is very very possible, of course.
Speaker 1: Because Disney is a magical and wonderful place.
Speaker 2: That we it is, and our park, as you and
Speaker 2: I both very much know, magic key holders, which are
Speaker 2: the annual passes for our park, are very very popular
Speaker 2: because our parks are plush with annual pass holders.
Speaker 1: So as opposed to like Disney World.
Speaker 2: Yes, as opposed to Disney World, where they have annual
Speaker 2: pass holders instead of magic key holders, that park is
Speaker 2: a lot of global visitors that come in, so a
Speaker 2: lot of people that are just coming for the day
Speaker 2: and then leaving, as opposed to our parks which are
Speaker 2: just pull lush with a lot of locals that come in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a proximity thing for us.
Speaker 3: Correct, so many people living.
Speaker 1: Here, So we'll wait and see. We'll let you know
Speaker 1: if they go on sale again.
Speaker 4: And I don't think that we will probably ever know why,
Speaker 4: unless you said if they drop the prices, will know
Speaker 4: what happened.
Speaker 3: If they the general idea, Yeah, if.
Speaker 1: They don't, we won't.
Speaker 4: And Disney's very good at playing things close to the chest.
Speaker 4: The number of homes and buildings destroyed by the Santa

Speaker 4: still missing, but the LAPD says Chanel Banks has been
Speaker 4: found safe and unharmed. Her husband says she's been trying
Speaker 4: to get away from her family because of years of abuse.
Speaker 4: Her family says the woman the LAPD found is not Banks.
Speaker 4: Banks posted on her ig that she is not missing
Speaker 4: and went to Texas to get away from family. Hawkeye

Speaker 1: It's handle on the news.
Speaker 4: The Republicans are going to hold control of the House.
Speaker 4: Bill's going to be talking about that. Let's say good
Speaker 4: morning now to ABC's Peter Harralumbus's good morning.
Speaker 12: Peter, good morning, Thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for coming on.
Speaker 4: So President Trump says on day one he's going to
Speaker 4: start deporting illegal immigrants. Probably easier said than done, but
Speaker 4: there's one group kind of chomping at the bit to
Speaker 4: see those deportations begin.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's exactly right. Executives at private prison companies are
Speaker 12: really embracing this moment and Trump's pledge to deport millions
Speaker 12: of undocumented immigrants in the United States. On recent earnings call,
Speaker 12: since the election, they've been quite open. The founder of
Speaker 12: the country's largest private prison group called this a potential
Speaker 12: sea change, saying that their company was built for this
Speaker 12: unique moment. Another executive at Corcivic, another one of these
Speaker 12: leading private prison companies said that we're heading into an
Speaker 12: error we simply haven't seen before, and their stocks have
Speaker 12: risen dramatically nearly eighty percent since the election.
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, so how would that all work?
Speaker 8: Do?
Speaker 1: I mean, do they know where?
Speaker 4: They're just speculating that if they do detain people, they're
Speaker 4: going to have to put them somewhere before they take
Speaker 4: them out of the country.
Speaker 12: I think that's exactly right. I don't think we have
Speaker 12: that many exact details about how this immigration plan is
Speaker 12: going to play out, but I think on the basic level,
Speaker 12: they know that one thing that the country is going
Speaker 12: to need is more beds at detention facilities in order
Speaker 12: to actually implement Trump's promise of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants.
Speaker 12: If you look to Tom Homan, the person that Trump
Speaker 12: is tapped to be a so called borders are, he's
Speaker 12: been quite open that he believes private prison companies are
Speaker 12: able to build beds for these on documented immigrants at
Speaker 12: at cheaper price and at a higher quality than the
Speaker 12: government would be able to and he's defended this use,
Speaker 12: saying that it's the right thing to do to use
Speaker 12: these private prison companies, even though the Biden administration has
Speaker 12: tried to separate themselves from these companies, basically trying to
Speaker 12: remove federal contracts from these private prison companies over the
Speaker 12: last four years. It's going to be a dramatic change
Speaker 12: under the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: And you said the Biden administration has distanced themselves from them.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so the Bureau of Prisons has tried to basically
Speaker 12: stop their contracts and stopped doing business with private prison
Speaker 12: companies because they've had basically a long track record of problems.
Speaker 12: But under the Trump administration, it seems like this is
Speaker 12: going to be a dramatic change and this is going
Speaker 12: to be something that they rely on. Under the Trump administration.
Speaker 12: In twenty sixteen through twenty twenty, they opened up at
Speaker 12: least forty new detention facilities, with about ninety percent of
Speaker 12: those facilities kind of going to private prison companies. I
Speaker 12: think it's safe to assume that we're going to see
Speaker 12: a similar kind of tactic with this new Trump administration.
Speaker 4: Okay, so, Peter, where where are these located? You said
Speaker 4: that forty new ones have opened up, But where where
Speaker 4: are they? Are they just in all the states or
Speaker 4: are they kind of clustered in certain areas.
Speaker 12: So during the Trump administration, most of those facilities were
Speaker 12: near major cities, basically population centers where the where the
Speaker 12: government was believed there were higher portions of undocumented immigrants.
Speaker 12: It seems like they're probably going to take a similar
Speaker 12: approach come this new administration, though, they're going to find
Speaker 12: the opposition. I spoke with California Attorney General Rob Bonti yesterday,
Speaker 12: who insisted that the state of California was going to
Speaker 12: oppose the Trump immigration agenda, that they're already drafting legislation
Speaker 12: to block it in court, and that the state itself
Speaker 12: would do nothing to help the Trump administration in their plans.
Speaker 12: BoNT is saying that if the Trump administration plans take
Speaker 12: action in the state of California, they're going to have
Speaker 12: to do it completely on their own. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 4: And Bonte is not shy about bringing suit against soon
Speaker 4: to be President Trump when he was in office last time.
Speaker 4: Wasn't it like one hundred and twenty lawsuits or something
Speaker 4: crazy like that.
Speaker 13: That's exactly right.
Speaker 12: The state of California really led the legal charge against
Speaker 12: the Trump administration last time around.
Speaker 4: Okay, and then Peter you mentioned that they're already focused
Speaker 4: on illegal immigrants. So are they up and running in
Speaker 4: full or half full or half empty, or do we
Speaker 4: know the status of those private prisons now or are
Speaker 4: they kind of emptied out because for so long the
Speaker 4: Biden administration really wasn't enforcing the border.
Speaker 12: That's a great point. So they've actually have a ton
Speaker 12: of capacity at this point based on the fact that
Speaker 12: the Biden administration has kind of decreased their overall reliance
Speaker 12: on these companies. So, for example, the Geo Group, which
Speaker 12: is the country's largest private prison company, already has a
Speaker 12: ton of capacity that they could immediately bring back functionality.
Speaker 12: The Trump administration itself hasn't necessarily been too clear about
Speaker 12: how this mass deportation plan was going to go. They've
Speaker 12: suggested that the first step is going to be deporting
Speaker 12: folks who already in prison for having committed crimes, though
Speaker 12: they've suggested that the next step might be returning to
Speaker 12: this policy of workplace raids.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, it's going to be interesting to see because,
Speaker 4: as you said, there's going to be a lot of
Speaker 4: resistance to it obviously, and whether they can carry it
Speaker 4: out because it's immediately going to land in court, right.
Speaker 12: Is going to be. It's not going to be an
Speaker 12: easy run in terms of implementation. I think it's safe
Speaker 12: to say that we're going to see, you know, a

Speaker 4: because Congress is also talking et This week, we're going
Speaker 4: out and about to downtown La to mocha, not the
Speaker 4: kind that Kono was referring to. It's the Museum of
Speaker 4: Contemporary Art at the Geffen, and we went the other
Speaker 4: day I took my brother Steve King with me. He
Speaker 4: is an architectural photographer and he's a professor, a professor
Speaker 4: of art photography at cal State San Bernardino, and I
Speaker 4: thought it might be good to have him there because
Speaker 4: while I go to an art museum and I look
Speaker 4: at it and I go ooh, that's pretty, Steve is
Speaker 4: more analytical and introspective, and I love the way he
Speaker 4: sees and explains things.
Speaker 1: So who is the artist behind the exhibit called Open.
Speaker 14: All for ELIASA? Who's an Icelandic artist who works with
Speaker 14: I mean, he's a kind of a sculptor, but he's
Speaker 14: I always think he's much interested in perception and vision
Speaker 14: and how we see and what we see.
Speaker 1: And when we come in here today, I want to
Speaker 1: kind of walk through a couple of the things that
Speaker 1: we've seen. We walked into this big room and they
Speaker 1: there were these just very stark, industrial looking towers, and
Speaker 1: then you go inside or underneath and you look up
Speaker 1: and it basically shows us what his vision is to
Speaker 1: play with light. And I don't understand how he does
Speaker 1: what he does so well. He's used a sense of it.
Speaker 14: I don't know if I can make sense of it.
Speaker 14: He uses mirrors in this exhibition, he's using a lot
Speaker 14: of mirrors and then a lot of mirrors reflecting off
Speaker 14: mirrors to create a kind of he's creating a sense
Speaker 14: of space with the mirrors, and then he's doing things
Speaker 14: within that space that kind of challenge your maybe your
Speaker 14: sense of reality or something so optical. They're illusions. But
Speaker 14: you know, everything you see is actually an illusion. Like
Speaker 14: everything you see is actually a construction of your brain.
Speaker 14: So your eye, light comes in your eye, it turns
Speaker 14: into a kind of an electric signal, it goes into
Speaker 14: your brain, and then your brain constitutes an image. There's
Speaker 14: no light in your brain.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank god for eyes.
Speaker 14: Yeah, okay, but so that so it's really what you
Speaker 14: see is.
Speaker 3: A construction of your mind. Okay, okay.
Speaker 14: And so what he's doing is he's playing seems to me,
Speaker 14: he's playing with that idea of the construction of reality.
Speaker 14: So when you look at those mirrored columns down below,
Speaker 14: I mean you're seeing a kind of space. He's creating
Speaker 14: a kind of sense of space because that you're seeing,
Speaker 14: but it's all reflected space.
Speaker 1: It's all illusionary space, right like it looks. It's not
Speaker 1: a very big space. They're like four by eight or
Speaker 1: six by six, but you looked up and it looks
Speaker 1: like this infinite expanse of space. It's pretty cool. Here's
Speaker 1: another one that we're looking at. I call it the
Speaker 1: Ring Room. Check this out. So it's not a very
Speaker 1: big room, but when you first walk in, it looks
Speaker 1: like it's the size of a couple of football fields.
Speaker 1: It looks massive, but it's only about what thirty or
Speaker 1: forty feet across. But the mirrors and the light play
Speaker 1: with it, and what you get is these the illusion.
Speaker 1: They love it rings floating.
Speaker 14: But the rings are only halfway, like the ring itself
Speaker 14: is only a half ring. The if you go look,
Speaker 14: you can look behind these.
Speaker 1: You can look behind the wall.
Speaker 14: You can look behind the wall, and you'll see that
Speaker 14: there's no the ring doesn't continue. It only continues in
Speaker 14: your vision. It only continues in the reflection.
Speaker 1: And so it's our minds trying to make sense of it.
Speaker 1: So we make this perfect ring and it's floating.
Speaker 14: Well, I mean, it's a vision. It's not more than
Speaker 14: your mind, but it is because it is. It is
Speaker 14: an image that is being created in your mind, like
Speaker 14: everything's an image in your mind, and This image simply
Speaker 14: completes the ring into something that it's not. So it's
Speaker 14: an illusion because you're not seeing a ring, You're only
Speaker 14: seeing half a ring. That's it's he's manipulating you to
Speaker 14: show you that you're It makes you think you're seeing
Speaker 14: a whole ring. It makes you think these rings are
Speaker 14: floating in space without any connection to the world, but
Speaker 14: they're actually in actuality, They're they're very connected, okay, like
Speaker 14: through the surface.
Speaker 1: This stuff just blows my mind, and I think that
Speaker 1: we can talk about it, but I think you really
Speaker 1: need to come see it experience and if you can
Speaker 1: find a good docint like my big brother.
Speaker 14: You don't even need a good docent.
Speaker 3: It's so easy. It's so cool everybody.
Speaker 14: You don't need to any art in any art knowledge
Speaker 14: at all. This is just like pure visual experience and
Speaker 14: it's for everybody, and.
Speaker 1: It's very, very impressive, and I swear it's going to
Speaker 1: blow your mind just a little bit. We're at Mocha
Speaker 1: out and about for a wake up call.
Speaker 4: So did you see how I basically did do that?
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, it's pretty and then he explains how
Speaker 4: it happens. He does such a great job with that.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's why he's a professor and you should see
Speaker 4: some of his work too if you're interested. It's Steve
Speaker 4: kingphoto dot com. Also, I'm going to put up the
Speaker 4: interview on my ig at amy K King and I
Speaker 4: hope you'll go see the exhibit because it really is
Speaker 4: just so interesting and like I said, it's just like,
Speaker 4: how did they do that?
Speaker 1: How does that happen? How are we seeing that? You know?
Speaker 4: But this will give you a sneak peek at some
Speaker 4: of the incredible exhibits that you'll see at Mocha. Would

Speaker 4: report has a section called bring your Manners to Work,
Speaker 4: and it found that seventy percent of workers almost seventy

Speaker 4: not have policies in place around workplace etiquette, and nearly
Speaker 4: a third of those surveyed said they didn't feel their
Speaker 4: workplace is a respectful environment where manners are valued. So, Nick,
Speaker 4: I want to know, do you have a workplace pet Peeve?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it too?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 12: What no?
Speaker 3: I think?
Speaker 2: I think it sounds funny like I and we we've
Speaker 2: talked about this before because there's so many emails that
Speaker 2: go back and forth. So while I appreciate the thank
Speaker 2: you emails that constantly come through, my inbox already has
Speaker 2: too many emails, but there's a lot of times I
Speaker 2: never see please attached to any of the massive emails,
Speaker 2: so manners seem to have dropped off emails in general.
Speaker 1: So you just want a good please and thank you.
Speaker 2: I want a good please and thank you, but not
Speaker 2: I don't need the follow up thank you on every
Speaker 2: single email, that makes sense. So on the initial email,
Speaker 2: please can you do this blah blah blah blah blah
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah, I don't need every follow up
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got it kind of if that makes sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, reply all is a big one around here because
Speaker 4: we need apply all. There's a lot of alls.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of alls within our company, so yes,
Speaker 2: that's a big pet. Peeve is like, no, just say
Speaker 2: thank you just to the one person with the rest
Speaker 2: of us don't need it.
Speaker 3: We get it, So yeah, you got it.
Speaker 1: Cono, do you have one?
Speaker 15: Well, given, we work in radio and I have to
Speaker 15: listen for certain things that are said, so I'm like
Speaker 15: very in tune to what's being said.
Speaker 3: Eating on the air. Ooh good call.
Speaker 15: Like hearing someone chew ever just makes my skin crawl.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not going to take a bite to my
Speaker 1: oatmeil right now.
Speaker 15: No, no, at least no.
Speaker 4: No, Okay, I thought you were going to say, because
Speaker 4: you were saying how you had to listen for stuff
Speaker 4: that you might be saying that language was a pet
Speaker 4: peeve of yours. So you have to watch because if
Speaker 4: somebody drops an F bomb, you got to dump it.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 4: But yeah, So according to this survey, here are the
Speaker 4: things in order from least rude to most rude. Consistent
Speaker 4: tardiness because and I think yeah, because like some people,
Speaker 4: when that happens, you're like, how come I have to
Speaker 4: be here on time and they're not And we're all
Speaker 4: getting paid the same for the same amount of time
Speaker 4: and work and all that stuff. Unresponsive to messages as
Speaker 4: opposed to Nick's over responsive to messages. But I know,
Speaker 4: like if you send an email, you should acknowledge it
Speaker 4: because you want to make sure that they got it right.
Speaker 2: And then we also write no, that's very big, and
Speaker 2: then you know they have especially because we use Microsoft,
Speaker 2: they have the little thumbs up that you can do.
Speaker 2: And that's fine, especially during work hours because at least
Speaker 2: I'm sitting in front of a computer, so or maybe
Speaker 2: you are amy you're being quiet, so maybe you don't
Speaker 2: know the little thumbs.
Speaker 4: Up the mail arctic, you know what, I am technologically challenged,
Speaker 4: but I do know about the thumbs.
Speaker 2: Okay, So no, no, And I wasn't saying that snarkily.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying because that's really good because it's super
Speaker 2: quick and easy and that okay, good, you got my email.
Speaker 3: You understand, we're good. We're on the same page. So
Speaker 3: it's quick.
Speaker 1: Yes, I like that too.
Speaker 4: Using an appropriate language is one of the things that
Speaker 4: makes the list. And of course I was sitting in
Speaker 4: my office or not my office, I don't have an office.
Speaker 4: I was sitting in the office with the new boss
Speaker 4: yesterday and I went, I swore three times. I was like,
Speaker 4: what what was I doing? Like, you're not thinking? When
Speaker 4: I left, I went, that was probably wrong.
Speaker 3: Amy I love that, I know, right, Okay.
Speaker 4: So gossiping is another one, and I agree because like
Speaker 4: this is a workplace, like if you have an issue
Speaker 4: with somebody, go talk to that person, as opposed to
Speaker 4: talking to everybody and gossiping because it feels so very
Speaker 4: high schooly. You know, that might be that might be
Speaker 4: a goal that is unattainable. But and then this is
Speaker 4: the other one because I'm constantly cleaning our breakroom. Do
Speaker 4: you guys have a problem if they don't clean up
Speaker 4: after themselves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we don't have anybody that works here, so
Speaker 3: I don't know. I do the same.
Speaker 15: At the breakroom, though I have to clean up the desk.
Speaker 15: There's like trash of like splendor or sugar on the counter,
Speaker 15: like what is happening?
Speaker 1: And we have black countertops, so it's even worse.
Speaker 4: But just some things to think of, especially because as
Speaker 4: more and more people are heading back to the office
Speaker 4: full time.
Speaker 1: You know, you work with these people. Let's have manners,
Speaker 1: shall we.
Speaker 4: Hey, all eyes are going to be on Sofi Stadium

Speaker 1: to the Chargers game.
Speaker 4: You can also listen to the game on All ninety

Speaker 4: governor is actually lower than for her presidential run this year.
Speaker 4: Forty six percent support a run for governor, fifty nine
Speaker 4: percent supported her run for president. The LAPD is looking
Speaker 4: for the man who tried to violently carjack three women
Speaker 4: in the same day. Police just yesterday announced details of
Speaker 4: the attempted carjackings that happens Saturday gas stations in East
Speaker 4: LA Lincoln Heights and Boiled Heights.
Speaker 1: Please say.
Speaker 4: The guy they're looking for is forty nine year old
Speaker 4: Maurice Latour. He is considered armed and dangerous. Four people
Speaker 4: have been arrested for claiming that three high end vehicle
Speaker 4: were damaged by a bear. They made insurance claims that
Speaker 4: a bear had climbed inside their vehicles, including a Rolls
Speaker 4: Royce in Lake Arrowhead, and tore up the interior. They
Speaker 4: provided video to back up their claims, but it turns
Speaker 4: out it was a person in a bear suit before
Speaker 4: being charged with insurance fraud. We're just minutes away from
Speaker 4: handle on the news this morning. This one shocked about
Speaker 4: everyone in Washington. President elect Trump has made his pick
Speaker 4: for attorney general. Okay, so we're talking to Jim Ryan.
Speaker 4: But I couldn't pick which theme I wanted to use.
Speaker 4: But I think we'll do this.
Speaker 1: Space a final there we go before.
Speaker 13: We kill the voyages of the starship Enter.
Speaker 3: Problems to you, but that's what we talked about.
Speaker 1: Do you want to just do it to seek out
Speaker 1: strange new worlds, to seek out new life.
Speaker 13: Life and new civilizations.
Speaker 4: As he says, yeah, okay, so well okay, wait before
Speaker 4: we start though talk.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk youfos. But what's your pet pava work?
Speaker 13: I saw that bear suit? That was real? What were
Speaker 13: they thinking? That was the dumbest. Have you seen the video?
Speaker 1: I have not seen the video.
Speaker 13: Oh boy, it's like a sketchy sort of ring doorbell video.
Speaker 13: Looks realistic, but then you see the car come open
Speaker 13: and this bear climbs in and starts scratching around. It's
Speaker 13: it's so obviously somebody in a bear suit. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 13: And yeah, people who leave the coffee pot and I
Speaker 13: know you guys have a high end coffee maker there, but.
Speaker 1: You make individual cups here.
Speaker 13: Yeah. Bad for the environment.
Speaker 1: Well, not curing. It's like a it's a coffee machine.
Speaker 1: Thats okay, that's.
Speaker 13: Cool, Okay, good. Yeah, leaving the coffee pot on it
Speaker 13: boils down until you've got this black stuff, this tar
Speaker 13: in the bottom of the pot that you can smell
Speaker 13: for forever. Yeah, that's bad.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, let's get back on check.
Speaker 4: You're talking about UFOs again because Congress is talking about uf.
Speaker 13: UAPs unidentified anomalist phenomena.
Speaker 1: I really like UFO better.
Speaker 4: Why Because they're obviously flying objects, So why don't we
Speaker 4: call them that?
Speaker 13: Because some of these have been seen in the water.
Speaker 13: Oh okay, so that takes the flying out of it.
Speaker 13: They are unidentified, they're anomalists, meaning they really don't belong there.
Speaker 13: Phenomena meaning it it's a thing that happened maybe can't
Speaker 13: be explained. So that's sort of the all encompassing the
Speaker 13: umbrella term UAPs because some of these have been seen
Speaker 13: in the water. We heard testimony about that yesterday. It
Speaker 13: was a House subcommittee, the House Committee on Oversight, Down Accountability.
Speaker 13: Two of its sub committees got together. The hearing they
Speaker 13: heard from witnesses took about two hours, and some of
Speaker 13: these folks had pretty strong resumes. Some of these witnesses,
Speaker 13: you know, the former administrator at NASA, a former intelligence officer,
Speaker 13: Folks who should know what they're talking about, and now
Speaker 13: are saying that they're whistleblowers essentially and coming forward to
Speaker 13: discuss what they know about UAPs.
Speaker 1: And what do they know.
Speaker 13: They believe it's a conspiracy, and you know that the
Speaker 13: government is covering things up, that there's a lot more
Speaker 13: out there to be learned. This wasn't like the hearing
Speaker 13: we had last year early last year when videos were
Speaker 13: presented and we saw the that F eighteen video of
Speaker 13: the that that weird shape or that object that the
Speaker 13: fighter pilots were trying to track eventually lost. This was
Speaker 13: more that I don't think that there were there were
Speaker 13: any videos shown yesterday at all. So it was there
Speaker 13: a show and tell. It was more tell and probably
Speaker 13: less show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want I want the show. Yeah everybody does
Speaker 4: you know I'm the doubting Thomas.
Speaker 13: Right well, and so yeah, it was It's interesting timing
Speaker 13: of this hearing yesterday because we're about to get a
Speaker 13: whole new Congress, We're going to get a whole new
Speaker 13: administration in Washington. The White House is so what does
Speaker 13: it all mean? And Trump said during his life as
