I bring 29 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.439 coffee in from home just to be sure. Here's what's 30 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.120 ahead on wake up call, which is six days until Christmas. 31 00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:01.480 Amazon warehouse workers in sam Bernardino Industry, Elmdale and Victorville 32 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.799 have gone on strike. They want better wages, benefits, and 33 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:09.159 working conditions. The continuing resolution to keep the government funded 34 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.400 through March fourteenth is dead. President elect Trump announced yesterday 35 00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.240 he opposes the bill. In a statement, Trump and VP 36 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.319 elect jd Vance said Republicans need to toughen up against 37 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.280 the Democrats and call their bluff. If a bill isn't passed, 38 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.520 a partial government shutdown would happen after midnight Friday. The 39 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.599 Fed has lowered interest rates as expected, by a quarter 40 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.319 percentage point, but Wall Street didn't react very well after 41 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.439 learning that the Fed only plans to cut interest rates probably twice. 42 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.840 In twenty twenty five, the Dow Jones Industrial average took 43 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.360 a dive, closing down eleven hundred twenty three points, the 44 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.439 S and P five hundred lost one hundred twenty seven 45 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.120 and the Nasdaq plummeted seven hundred and sixteen points. We're 46 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.719 going to be talking TikTok with kfi's White House correspondent 47 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.319 John Decker in less than five minutes.

Also, ABC's Karen Travers is 50 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.599 going to join us at five to see what lawmakers 51 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.439 are doing to try to keep the lights on in DC. 52 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.639 Of course, that government shut down looming if lawmakers can't 53 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.800 get something done. We're going to take our Southern California 54 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.840 sleigh ride to a very merry place that's coming up 55 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.680 at the bottom of the hour about five thirty five. 56 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.240 I think you're gonna like it. And presents are fun, 57 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.560 but some can be actually dangerous. What to do if 58 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.240 one of your gifts goes bad and maybe hurts somebody. 59 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.400 We're gonna be talking with America's leading products safety attorney 60 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:33.280 at five fifty. At six five, it's handle on the news. 61 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.039 Everyone is about to find out what an investigation dug 62 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.400 up on former Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gates. Let's get 63 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:41.879 started with some of the stories coming out of the 64 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.719 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Workers at four Amazon warehouses 65 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.759 in southern California have gone on strike, claiming Amazon refuses 66 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.879 to recognize their union and negotiate fair contracts. They walked 67 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.000 off the job early this morning. Amazon workers in New York, Illinois, 68 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.479 and Georgia have also authorized strikes. Union official call the 69 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.319 action the largest strike against Amazon in US history. Amazon 70 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.560 says it does not expect an impact on its operations. 71 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.000 That four thousand acre wildfire in Malibu is now one 72 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.360 hundred percent surrounded. A red flag warning for critical fire 73 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.720 danger was supposed to be in place until six pm yesterday, 74 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.759 but the winds died down earlier than expected. That's always 75 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.600 good news. The National Weather Service lifted the red flag 76 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.120 warning shortly after three pm. Fewer than one thousand southern 77 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.720 California Edison customers throughout La County had their power cut 78 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.360 through the Public Safety Power shutoffs program because of the 79 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.839 high winds. La Mayor Bass has placed a deputy mayor 80 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.319 on administrative leave. 81 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.040 The FBI searched the home of Deputy Mayor Brian k 82 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.720 Williams this week as part of an investigation into a 83 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.879 bomb threat called into city Hall earlier this year. The 84 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.160 LAPD says it ideed Williams as a suspect, but the 85 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.480 department has a close relationship with him, so they turned 86 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.600 it over to federal investigators. Williams is the deputy mayor 87 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.560 overseeing police, fire and emergency management. Michael Monks KF News. 88 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.639 Republicans in Congress have rejected a bipartisan deal to keep 89 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.279 the government refunded. ABC's Stephen Portnoy says President elect Trump 90 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.959 called on lawmakers to reject it, saying it needs to 91 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.959 be free from giveaways to Democrats. 92 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.360 The joint statement President elect Trump and Vice President elect JD. 93 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.120 Vance blast the bipartisan compromise, saying it contains sweetheart provisions 94 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.600 and Democrat giveaways and would see members of Congress getting 95 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:27.360 a pay increase. 96 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:29.759 The deal would have kept the government open through March. 97 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.720 The government is scheduled to shut down if a deal 98 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.120 isn't reached by tomorrow night. Elon Musk, who was picked 99 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.800 by Trump along with Vivek Ramaswami to lead the new 100 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.399 Department of Government Efficiency, called the spending bill outrageous and 101 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:46.720 Criminal Vice President Harris is returning to la She's said 102 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.240 to arrive at Lax late tonight for a visit. The 103 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.920 White House says our arrival will be closed to the media, 104 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.879 and they didn't release any details about the trip. Harris 105 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.439 sometimes spends weekends at her home in Brentwood. She has 106 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.079 not been seen much at public events since Lucie in 107 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.680 the election to President elect Trump. It is five h 108 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.079 seven on your Thursday morning wake up call, just six 109 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:11.120 days ago until Christmas. Let's say good morning too, okay 110 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.079 if i's White House correspondent John Decker, Good morning John. 111 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.560 TikTok is getting an audience before the US Supreme Court. 112 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.560 But before we look forward, let's look back a bit. 113 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.959 So let's go over what has led up to this. 114 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.160 Well, there was a bipartisan bill that was passed by 115 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.879 both the House and Senate, signed by President Biden that 116 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:37.120 orders TikTok to either sell the company by January the 117 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.639 nineteenth of twenty twenty five, a few weeks from now, 118 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.040 or if they are unable to do that, then TikTok 119 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:46.360 would be banned in the United States. Now, TikTok challenged 120 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.120 that in the federal courts, the most recent court to 121 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.800 hear this case was the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, 122 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.279 and they ruled that this legislation signed by President Biden, 123 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:03.600 is constitution it does not violate TikTok's First Amendment rights. 124 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.600 The court said that the bill, the way it's written 125 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.639 is narrowly tailored and takes into account the fact they 126 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.519 say that TikTok poses a national security threat to the 127 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.000 United States, and so amy. What TikTok has done is 128 00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.879 they are appealing that decision by the DC Circuit Court 129 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.800 of Appeals. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear this 130 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.279 case on January the tenth, just a few weeks from now. 131 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:31.079 It's a hail Mary pass amy. If the Supreme Court 132 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.759 does not overrule the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, then 133 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.920 TikTok on January the nineteenth will be banned in the 134 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.199 United States of America. 135 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:45.959 Okay, So let's look then dig into this a little bit. One, 136 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.920 does TikTok have First Amendment rights? They're not US citizens, 137 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:51.279 are not based in the US. 138 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.079 Well, but they are a company, and they're arguing that 139 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.319 the people that use TikTok have First Amendment rights as well. 140 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.399 And there are as part of this case, it's not 141 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.439 just TikTok that's suing the Attorney General Merrick Garland. It's 142 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:10.000 also users of TikTok that are suing the Attorney General 143 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:11.360 of the United States. 144 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.639 Okay, And with this conservative court, which I would imagine 145 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.600 is pro First Amendment, are there any thoughts on what 146 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.120 that what the Court might do. 147 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.879 Oh, it's a great question, Amy, And I never predict 148 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.519 what the Supreme Court is going to do without first 149 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.759 reading the briefs and those have not been delivered yet 150 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:37.039 by either side, or listening to the oral arguments set 151 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.440 for January the tenth. I'll be in the Supreme Court 152 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.519 on January tenth, but as we get closer to that date, 153 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:44.919 I will have read the briefs and you can ask 154 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.000 me that question and I'll give you a sense about 155 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.120 which way I think the Supreme Court is going to 156 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:50.799 go in this particular matter. 157 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:55.240 Okay. So, John, if they hear arguments on January tenth, 158 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.360 and as you mentioned, the laws set to go into 159 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:00.879 effect January nineteenth, they usually don't come up with a 160 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.000 decision that quickly. Are they expected to make a fast 161 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:08.320 decision or would there be a stay in place? Or 162 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.440 how could that all shake out or do we even know? 163 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.759 Well, You're right. It is a quick turnaround in terms 164 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:16.840 of an opinion that needs to be delivered by the 165 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.879 Supreme Court by a date certain. In this case, it's 166 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:23.639 January the nineteenth. The Supreme Court is capable of this. 167 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:27.679 You remember earlier this year, Amy, when there was a 168 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:33.360 challenge to a decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to 169 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.519 leave Donald Trump's name off the election ballot for its primary. 170 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.759 The Supreme Court in January of twenty twenty four. Earlier 171 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.440 this year, they agreed to hear this case. They put 172 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.200 it on their docket a month later in February, and 173 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.440 then a week later they came back with a decision 174 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.360 in the matter. The reason being is because of the 175 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.240 upcoming primary, they needed to make a decision on that 176 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.919 particular case. And so similarly, I think they can turn 177 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:04.000 around an opinion pretty quickly within nine days time after 178 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:08.639 hearing oral arguments on January the tenth, and they must 179 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:13.480 do that. In fact, TikTok's future rests with the US 180 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.480 Supreme Court. That's their hell Mary pass. If the Supreme 181 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.679 Court upholds the decision by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, 182 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.919 then TikTok is going out of business. It will no 183 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.759 longer be an entity here in the US, but. 184 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.600 It'll still be in other places. 185 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:31.919 It will still be another place to kill it. But 186 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.320 you know, I think it's such a popular app here 187 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.159 in the US. It would have a major impact for 188 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.759 those that use that popular social media app. So it 189 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.519 has real consequences for sure. 190 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.799 It'll be interesting to hear the arguments, and I can't 191 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:52.159 wait to talk to you after you sit in on them, because, like, 192 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.120 if they're arguing First Amendment rights and the TikTok users 193 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.759 are saying, hey, it's our First Amendment right to get 194 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:01.519 our stuff out on social media, could they say, hey, 195 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.879 you know what, this isn't the only way you can 196 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.080 get your things out. There's Facebook and Instagram and Twitter. 197 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:10.720 There are other avenues. So it's really not violating your 198 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:11.919 First Amendment rights. 199 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.720 Well, that is certainly an argument, and you have to 200 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.919 realize what the DC Circuit Court of Appeal said is 201 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:23.519 that the legislation which passed the House bipartisan support, pass 202 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:28.000 the Senate bipartisan support, and signed by President Biden, the 203 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.159 legislation is narrowly tailored. The DC Circuit Court of Appeal said, 204 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:38.000 because they say it takes into account these First Amendment rights. 205 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:43.120 But what is overriding those First Amendment rights is national 206 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:47.240 security concerns. TikTok, a company owned by a Chinese company 207 00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:53.519 called ByteDance, and the FBI other intelligence agencies have said 208 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:58.519 TikTok poses a national security risk to the United States. 209 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.679 And so if it's a big if, but if the 210 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.320 Supreme Court over rules and overturns the decision by the 211 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.480 DC Circuit Court of Appeals, they were essential, they would 212 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.559 be essentially be saying we know better than the FBI, 213 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.960 We know better than these other intelligence agencies as it 214 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.559 relates to whether or not TikTok is a national security 215 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.799 concern to the United States. 216 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.480 Okay, so January tenth is the date you're going to 217 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.240 be there, and we will talk to you after and 218 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.480 hopefully before too, after you've got a chance to see resolutely. 219 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.600 Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, it's an important case for a lot 220 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:40.159 of people across the country. We're talking about tens of 221 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.120 millions of people that use TikTok on a regular basis. 222 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:44.879 I know, how are we going to see people do 223 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:46.600 dumb dances and stunts if we don't have. 224 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:51.519 Ten times Instagram, Facebook or are other end for sure? 225 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.639 All right, kafi's White House correspondent John Decker, thanks so much. 226 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:56.080 We'll talk to you again soon. 227 00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:58.200 Thank you, Byamy. 228 00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.960 All right, let's get back to some of the story 229 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.080 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A 230 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.919 police chase in Orange County has ended in a fatal 231 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.320 crash in La Palma. The guy trying to get away 232 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.799 from police yesterday was wanted for theft in Fullerton. Pillase 233 00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.200 say the chase started when a detective witnessed the theft. 234 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.120 They say the driver hit a car near Brookhurst Road 235 00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:19.679 in Orangethorpe Avenue, but kept going and got onto the 236 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.600 ninety one. The chase ended at La Palma Avenue and 237 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:25.720 Moody Street, where the driver crashed into a BMW. The 238 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.559 driver of the BMW was a woman in her sixties. 239 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.120 She died at the scene. The guy police were after 240 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.600 was hurt in the crash. Governor Newsom says he's concerned 241 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.720 about the cost of incarcerating more people now that Prop 242 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.440 thirty six is in effect in California. It increases penalties 243 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.919 for repeat drug and theft crimes a fast track to 244 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:45.679 state prison. 245 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.120 At one hundred thousand plus one hundred and ten twenty 246 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:51.399 thirty thousand dollars a year that the taxpayers will bear 247 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:52.480 with no real outcome. 248 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.720 The measure was approved by voters last month, with sixty 249 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:59.159 eight percent in favor of it. It repealed parts of Prop. 250 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:02.679 Forty seven, which which had changed some felony crimes to misdemeanors. 251 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:06.759 Critics argued that gave rise to flash mob style robberies. 252 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.639 The man accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson 253 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.559 in New York is in court in Pennsylvania, where he 254 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:14.120 was arrested. 255 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.840 The source close to accused killer Luigi Mangioni, says he's 256 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:18.320 expected a wave extradition. 257 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:21.960 ABC's Aer Katirski says that would clear the way to 258 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.960 send Mangioni to New York City to face charges for murder. 259 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:29.159 On December fourth, Mangioni was charged in New York this 260 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:34.279 week with murder in furtherance of terrorism. California is making 261 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.200 the MyShake app earthquake warning system available to more users. 262 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:42.480 It's now being offered for Chromebook and map computers. The 263 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.440 app has also had some of its functions enhanced, like 264 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:50.039 visual and audio alerts and magnitude information. The app provided 265 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.360 about fifteen seconds of warning to more than half a 266 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.519 million users in northern California when two earthquakes hit earlier 267 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.799 this month. I know the last time we had an earthquake, 268 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:02.399 it was here in the studios that we felt and 269 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:06.399 the mice Shake app gave me the warning after the 270 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:10.159 shading shaking started, so it didn't do a whole lot 271 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:14.279 of good. It's not a perfect science, but interesting Today. 272 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:19.000 At eleven o'clock this morning, Gary and Shannon present It's 273 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:22.639 a KFI wonderful life. The whole cruise gathering together to 274 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:28.320 bring you what is destined not to become a Christmas classic, 275 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.240 but it's going to be a whole lot of fun. 276 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.919 It's well, you know, it's a KFI wonderful life and 277 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.679 our very own Gary Hoffman wrote it. I'll be narrating 278 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.120 for the group and we hear the Deborah Mark is 279 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.240 going to be zu Zuo. Firefighters have been able to 280 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:48.320 hold the lines of the more than four thousand acre 281 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.879 fire in Malibu and as Santa Ana wins blew through 282 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.120 the Southland. The fire that started a week and a 283 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.759 half ago and destroyed twenty homes and other buildings now 284 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.399 one hundred percent surrounded. Good news there. Urson investigators say 285 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.879 there's a good Vans. Four fires in Woodland Hills are connected. 286 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:05.639 The first fire was ignited along the four or five 287 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.480 late Tuesday night. Shortly after that, someone was seen on 288 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.000 ring video starting a fire at an apartment complex that 289 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.320 destroyed four cars. About an hour later, a fire was 290 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.399 started behind a world market, and then a fire burned 291 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.559 down a building early yesterday morning behind a vacant house. 292 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:25.320 The Rancho Palacerities City Councils extended an emergency declaration because 293 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:30.600 of landslides. The declaration now goes through February seventeenth. It 294 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:35.240 affects the Portuguese Bend Community Association, Seaview and Portuguese Bend 295 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:39.840 Beach Club neighborhoods. City geologists say the landslide under those 296 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.960 neighborhoods is moving about two point seven inches a week. 297 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.039 At six oh five at Tandle on the News, LA's 298 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:50.000 Deputy mayor may have an explosive reason for being placed 299 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:53.080 on leave. It's five twenty two and now we're going 300 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.879 to say good morning to someone from ABC, Brad Garrett. 301 00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:59.000 We thought we were going to talk to Karen Travers 302 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.240 about what's going on at the White House, and actually 303 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.839 not at the White House, but in Congress with that bill. 304 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.519 But instead we're going to talk to our buddy, Brad Garrett. 305 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.799 He is our crime and terror analyst, and Brad, surprise, 306 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:14.319 you're with us this morning, which we always enjoy. But 307 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.000 I don't have my notes in front of me. So 308 00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:18.759 what are we talking about? 309 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.359 So primarily I think, Amy, we can talk about the 310 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:28.599 CEO shooting in New York. Yes, And mainly I think 311 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:31.279 I talked to maybe you. I talked to people last 312 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:35.319 week about sort of profiling the shooter. This is basically 313 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:39.960 more a profile of his actions, what he did, when 314 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:43.319 he didn't do and you know, just to throw this 315 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:45.519 out on the front end, there's a there's a twenty 316 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.880 twenty special tonight on this case, okay, which people might 317 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.759 be interested in because I lay out in it a 318 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:57.160 lot of the things I'm going to talk to you about. So, 319 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.319 so the short answer is, when you walk into a crime, 320 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:04.039 if you're a homicide detective FBI agent, you immediately start 321 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:08.279 figuring or looking at, well, what exactly happened here and 322 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.000 how did it happen? And so because you're in New 323 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.640 York City, Amy, there's cameras everywhere, and they quick quickly 324 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.200 realized that a they had the shooting, they had a 325 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.920 suspect across the street. That's on camera. They have him 326 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.200 crossing the street, shooting mister Thompson clean, getting on a bike, 327 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.640 going into Central Park, and then disappearing at that point. 328 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.599 They figured that part out too, but not initially. But 329 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.359 the point being is this, you have a shooter that 330 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:42.440 roams around Manhattan before the shooting, big, big no no. 331 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.279 If you're going to go shoot somebody with all those cameras, 332 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.720 and he's a smart kid, he would know that. Great 333 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.119 shout of him inside Starbucks, shots of him on the street, 334 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:55.119 and then he picks a location. Amy, That tells me 335 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:59.680 a lot. The idea that you would shoot somebody the 336 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.680 way he did in broad daylight as people are going 337 00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.960 to work on the street tells me this is more 338 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:13.640 about making a statement maybe than the murder itself, not 339 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.960 that that isn't obviously part of it. And so obviously 340 00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:18.640 we don't know what that means at this point because 341 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:20.599 we don't know who mister Thompson is. But as you 342 00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:24.319 unfold this, you know, you realize he's a big time CEO. 343 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:26.759 And one of the biggest healthcare companies in the country, 344 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.640 and that if you wanted to make In other words, 345 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.200 my thoughts are, if I were looking at this without 346 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:37.559 knowing what it is, is this some sort of cause 347 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.640 driven behavior, because a professional would never pick a location. 348 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:44.119 Like that because he doesn't want to get caught. 349 00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:48.200 He's not going to have on some interesting, eye catching 350 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.079 sort of backpack That tells you he's also not a professional. 351 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:56.480 The way his shooting stance is not somebody that's professionally trained. 352 00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.599 And his weapon we don't know what it is at 353 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:03.319 that point. Obviously there was something that's not right about it, 354 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:05.799 like is it homemade? Is it something you know it 355 00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:08.720 ends up being a three D printer weapon. But all 356 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:11.160 of those things suggest to me that you're not dealing 357 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.519 with a professional here. And then using a bicycle. That's 358 00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:17.839 fine because it gets him out of New York quickly, 359 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:20.720 but you also could be seen a hundred times spoke 360 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:24.039 on cameras and by other people, something else a professional 361 00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:28.039 wouldn't do, and then getting on either getting on mass transit, 362 00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:32.279 getting in a cab, whe there's pictures of him getting 363 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.119 either on a train or eventually a bus. All of 364 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:39.079 that is high risk, you're going to get caught. 365 00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:42.079 So so you're saying he wanted to get caught. 366 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:47.359 I'm saying that he is so into the cause, he's 367 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:52.799 so into taking on the healthcare industry, that he doesn't 368 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.240 really think through Like a lot of people commit crimes 369 00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:57.440 and they don't think through about how do I get 370 00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:00.640 away with this? He clearly didn't think about that. And 371 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.200 you know, and and he creates writings that put him 372 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.839 right in the middle of it and admit it. That's 373 00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:09.200 all tells me this is a person that's all cause driven. 374 00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:11.680 They think all about making a statement. 375 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:16.000 Yeah, it was amazing how much we know about him. 376 00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:18.960 And then even like you said, he's making that statement 377 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:21.759 even being taken into the courtroom and he starts screaming 378 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:23.799 at reporters. 379 00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:24.920 You're right. 380 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.799 And then if you go let me digress for a second, 381 00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.160 you go to the other side of this story. So 382 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:34.440 he's having an extradition hearing this morning. There are so 383 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.279 many people, they are amys. They're lining up a block 384 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.359 around the courthouse to get into this hearing. People carrying 385 00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:46.160 signs these are quotes free MANGIONI. One guy's holding up 386 00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:49.400 with SONA says murder for profit is terrorism. So I 387 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.119 give you an idea what people think about this. I mean, it's, 388 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:57.559 you know, it's this really bizarre, the attraction of three things. 389 00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:01.359 Somebody that is attractive, which he is, somebody who takes 390 00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:04.920 on a cause, which many believe he has done, and 391 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:08.519 he used violence to do it. Those three variables people 392 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:12.519 are very attracted to, maybe sitting in their comfortable chair 393 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:14.119 in their living room. They're not going to go out 394 00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.640 and shoot anybody, but they're fascinated with people, and they're 395 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:21.599 clearly are attracted to what he physically looks like. 396 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.480 Is it common for people to rally around a murderer. 397 00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:28.319 I'm trying to think of another case where the public 398 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:33.400 support for a person who allegedly murdered somebody in cold 399 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:35.839 blood on camera in front of a lot of people 400 00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.440 on a street in New York City got this kind 401 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:38.920
