I 103 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.160 think was it Morton's or something.

What else is going on? 109 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.720 Time for what's happening? 110 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:24.240 What's one of the big water damage? 111 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:25.120 Fire damage? 112 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.079 Burglary called public adjuster abner ga nine one seven five 113 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:31.079 two five six. 114 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.720 I was totally gonna throw this glass of water on you, 115 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.079 like water damage all right now. 116 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:43.720 One of the big stories locally is that Hannah Kobayashi's. 117 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.319 Terry missing person. She is, she's on her own. 118 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.800 The l a p D has investigated their Missing Persons unit. 119 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.480 I don't know if they've actually been physically in contact 120 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.480 with her, but they seem to believe that Hana Kobayashi, 121 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.519 thirty years old, she vanished in La on November eighth. 122 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.600 Her family lost their minds, you might. 123 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:06.199 Knew, but she was spotted crossing into Mexico on November twelve. 124 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.600 Willingly, happily a voluntary missing person. 125 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.439 Yes, And they're saying that originally the family believed that 126 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.680 she may have been a victim of a violent crime 127 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:16.920 or been convicted. 128 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:18.120 Are not convicted? 129 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.959 A victim of some sort of coercion by somebody, And 130 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:26.120 they said, we're pretty certain she's just going to live 131 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:27.000 by herself. 132 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:28.240 I get it. 133 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.560 Who doesn't feel that way? From time to time. 134 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.040 Okay, a sheriff's deputy and Williamson County's my favorite story 135 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.879 Illinois is being praised. He rescued a pregnant woman whose 136 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.800 car would not stop as it sped toward a freezing lake. 137 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.480 It was a seven minute ordeal began with a frantic 138 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.120 nine to one one call early Wednesday morning. She said, 139 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.639 I need help. My brakes won't stop. My car won't stop. 140 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.240 My brakes aren't working. I'm twenty weeks pregnant. I cannot 141 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.920 die today. The car is traveling about thirty miles per 142 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.560 hour on this dark rural road and it's headed for 143 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.040 a dead end near a lake. 144 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:03.879 So deputies quickly respond. 145 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.120 Dispatchers are coordinating the efforts to intercept the vehicle, and 146 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.240 they're trying to figure out which way she's going, And 147 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.519 so the dispatcher says, turn right at the next road. 148 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.519 Okay, If you don't, you're going to go into a lake. 149 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.560 Deputy Tyler Coffee was the first to catch up with 150 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:22.720 the runaway car. He used a rolling roadblock maneuver. He 151 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.600 positioned his patrol car in front of the vehicle to 152 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.800 bring it to a stop. Her brake lights were illuminating, 153 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.839 he said, she was not slowing down. Once I got 154 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.360 in front of her vehicle slowed down, her bumpers met mine, 155 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.759 and slowly we came to a stop. In the nine 156 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.560 to one one call, the woman can be heard screaming, 157 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:39.879 I'm gonna hit the cop. I'm gonna hit him, because 158 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.199 she didn't know that the deputies were there helping her, 159 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.480 and so during the crash, the woman and her dog 160 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:50.000 the deputies unharmed. Both cars sustained only minor damage. When 161 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.680 asked about being called a hero, Deputy Coffee says, I've 162 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.279 been getting that a lot. I appreciate the comments, but 163 00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:58.480 we're all heroes, everyone from the dispatchers down to the deputies. 164 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.560 I have seen some of the Yeah, I've seen some 165 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.680 of the dash camera footage of the officers as they're 166 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.480 i mean, flying down these rural roads to try to 167 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.240 get in front of this woman, and it's pretty dramatic. 168 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.160 There have been some awful, awful stories that ended very 169 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.120 very badly in cars like that, where something gives out 170 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:18.240 on the breaks and they can't stop. 171 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:23.759 Wasn't it a California Highway patrolman whose car wouldn't stop 172 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:25.759 on the freeway. This has gotta be like twenty years 173 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.360 ago by now, and you could hear the nine to 174 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:32.240 one one call and it was chilling, and that did 175 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:32.919 not end well. 176 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.679 And there they were gaining speed. Was awful. 177 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:40.080 One of the other big stories internationally South Korea is 178 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.519 what's going on. The President of South Korea now says 179 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:47.200 he will lift the martial law that he imposed a 180 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:51.240 short time ago. There's this huge political drama that's playing 181 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.879 out in Korea right now. In South Korea, specifically, troops 182 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.720 surrounded the South Korean Parliament late last night early this 183 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.600 morning just because of the time to friends, and lawmakers 184 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.240 voted to reject martial law. The president had said that 185 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.000 he was trying to fight against anti state forces. He's 186 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.480 struggling against this opposition that controls the parliament. He's accused 187 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:16.399 the parliament of sympathizing with the communists in North Korea. 188 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:16.720 So he. 189 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:23.279 Declared martial law. The parliament said you can't do that, 190 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.720 and he said, you're probably right. I can't do that, 191 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:29.840 so I will undeclare martial law.

I mean every lessen. You know, people 287 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:42.240 walk past tomato everyone to give the dollar, the five thousands, 288 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.799 there's a matter what it's thanks to all those people 289 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:49.320 then has helped shop Bud to do what it does today.

It's 297 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:07.960 named after her. 298 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.200 Chef Bruno is with us, and we were talking about 299 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.000 the twenty five thousand kids a week in southern California 300 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.320 that you have been feeding for nineteen years. So you've 301 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.200 been doing this, but it's not just about the past 302 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:21.360 and meals and making sure these kids don't go to 303 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.519 bed hungry. You're also helping mom and dad find their footing. 304 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.399 Yeah, they have a project that I started thirteen years ago. 305 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.759 It's called welcome home because I went to a club 306 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.600 one day. So in the past I always do. And 307 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.639 I was making aware of two children. They live with 308 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.480 mom and daddy. Two most Sibily in a motel room 309 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:44.080 for twelve years. And I told her, like, wow, in 310 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.519 one room twelve years. Like your own bedroom twelve years there, 311 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.879 matter of fact that the girls always tell me. Then 312 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:54.399 she was doing her homework in a toilet talk about 313 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.639 toilet seat. You know why, because it's the only quiet 314 00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:01.039 place for her to do her homework. That a was 315 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.519 pretty said, I'd try to investigate why you live it 316 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:05.639 for so long in the motel room, because there's not 317 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:09.320 cheap you pay so you can afford an apartment. Say yes, 318 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.120 Bruni know that, but when you move to an apartment, 319 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.559 you need to pay the first last month deposit. They 320 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.440 can't afford it. No way in the world that those 321 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.639 people can save three four five thousand dollars. Years as 322 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:24.039 ago it was probably twenty five hundred dollars, and now 323 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.799 we get close to five thousand for the first two months. 324 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.960 I mean, I have the first family moved them after 325 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.960 twelve years, finally give them a decent place to live 326 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.639 by paying what I say. And just recently we move 327 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:43.440 a family number two hundred and seventy three. Wow. Then 328 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:46.279 you have two hundred and seventy three apartment with people 329 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:49.559 live on it. They are to qualifive number one things 330 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.759 to qualify year to have children. It's not children. I 331 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:55.600 won't help, not because I don't want to. But do 332 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:58.720 that for the safety of the children, because they're e 333 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:04.079 supposed to have any bad environment. Throw a drug, drug addict, prostitute, 334 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.400 stuff like that. I mean, it's like, if you have children, 335 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.400 I will do everything I can. You have to have 336 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.160 a job, and because need to pay the rent, you 337 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.839 have to pass a drug test and that's said to qualify. 338 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.480 But the children's priority, and you give back a dinity 339 00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.160 to the mom and dad. We can think about if 340 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:24.160 you're a father, if you're a mother, you live in 341 00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:27.480 a motel room with your family. You come home at night, 342 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:31.480 you cannot smile on the face. And when I do that, 343 00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.079 I know then at night time. Now they have an apartment. 344 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.079 Just a little story. I want to help one family 345 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.400 need to move out, and I give them pass the tomatoes. 346 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:43.160 So and I said, when you guys eat it, tonight 347 00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.240 it was no furniture. We don't care eat on the floor. 348 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.680 I was like, wow, I call the restaurants. I need 349 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.680 a table for chair. I want them to eat. And 350 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.839 another family was think about that one there were six people. 351 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.559 We moved them out and two three they after I 352 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.200 seen them, I was it, Oh good, I said, what 353 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.519 did you think sleep in your own room? Have they 354 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.960 not yet said why? We were scared we sleep altogether 355 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.200 in one room? Yeah, because so many years they used 356 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.000 to sleep together in one bedroom. Let me they did 357 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:20.680 not sleep at their own bedroom. And just think psychology 358 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.000 that like, yeah, wow, I have so minimal story. But 359 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:28.200 we were and that is two the three story. Then 360 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.440 we really touched my heart to the fact that then 361 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.720 there's a big change for those families. And one lady 362 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.119 text me once, well, no, thank you so much. My 363 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.640 kids was not doing well at school when you live 364 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.440 in a motel. We came home this morning with students 365 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:47.319 of the month. Oh my gosh, that's it. You don't 366 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.599 need anybody else.
