1
00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call

2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 1>with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app

3
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:13.519
<v Speaker 1>KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.

4
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 2>And it's time for your morning wake up call.

5
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:24.320
<v Speaker 3>And good morning.

6
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.280
<v Speaker 2>This is your wake up call for Tuesday, January seventh,

7
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.039
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five. I am Michael Monks filling in again

8
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>for Amy King, and we've got some strong wins on

9
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>the way. This is a particularly dangerous situation. This is

10
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>about as bad as it gets in terms of fire weather.

11
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>So you need to stay aware today of your surroundings.

12
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:47.240
<v Speaker 3>You need to be.

13
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Ready to evacuate, especially if you are in a high

14
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>risk area for fire, and you need to be careful

15
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 2>with your fire sources. Don't take that from me. Those

16
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 2>are the words from the National Weather Service here in LA.

17
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 2>They are not prone to hyperbolic language. So the Santa

18
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Ana win event forecasted for today and tomorrow appears to

19
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>be a serious one. National Weather Service has called this

20
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:18.959
<v Speaker 2>a life threatening and destructive widespread wind storm. They're saying

21
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 2>even areas that are not typically windy will be impacted,

22
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>and obviously this means the threat of wildfires has been

23
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>raised dramatically. Red flag warnings of critical fire danger are

24
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 2>now in effect as of four o'clock this morning. They

25
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.480

<v Speaker 2>Thursday for the Santa Ana Mountains and inland parts of

45
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>the county, including what the National Weather Service has called

46
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 2>a particularly dangerous situation from seven am to one pm

47
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>on Wednesday. Orange County coastal areas will be under a

48
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 2>red flag warning from four pm to six pm Wednesday,

49
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 2>So from four pm today to six pm tomorrow. We

50
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>are going to stay on top of this from the

51
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.800
<v Speaker 2>start to the finish, so stick with us here at KFI.

52
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 2>We'll have live reports throughout. We're going to monitor, We're

53
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 2>gonna let you know what's going on. But you also

54
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.879
<v Speaker 2>need to stay close to your phone, keep charged, have

55
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>your go bag ready. All of those warnings, all of

56
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 2>those things they tell you about. Today seems like one

57
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 2>of those days where you really need to take it seriously.

58
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.919
<v Speaker 2>All the conditions are right for it. We've been really dry,

59
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>and these wins are coming and they're going to be

60
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 2>very strong, hearing that these wins could be the strongest

61
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>we've seen since like twenty eleven. So they're not messing around.

62
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>We're telling us a lot of stuff. And it's the

63
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 2>entire area that I just listed there, even downtown LA.

64
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, these are parts of the region that are

65
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>not typically prone to fire weather. But they're saying everybody

66
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>needs to keep an eye out today, so that includes you.

67
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 2>So good Tuesday morning. We got a fun hour ahead

68
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.079
<v Speaker 2>despite this looming over US. We'll have a lot of

69
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>news coming up for your enjoyment, including President Biden's move

70
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>to ban offshore oil and gas drilling around most of

71
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>the coastal waters in the US came just before the

72
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 2>President arrived here in southern California. So what does that

73
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 2>move mean for California. We'll have a live report in

74
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 2>just a moment. And President elect Trump has announced that

75
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 2>he wants one big, beautiful bill encompassing a chunk of

76
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.160
<v Speaker 2>his policy proposals, whether they're related or not. But he

77
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 2>has met some pushback from Republicans in Congress, so Trump

78
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 2>is reportedly headed to the Capitol to talk with the GOP.

79
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 2>We'll go live to Washington and then in Las Vegas.

80
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>The Consumer Electronics Show now known only as CES has returned.

81
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk live about the gadgets that are on display,

82
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 2>and then at the top of the hour, as always,

83
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 2>handle on the news Bill handle Nil Savidra and I

84
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.240
<v Speaker 2>will be there and I hope that you will be

85
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 2>there as well. President Biden has arrived in southern California.

86
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 2>He plans to designate the Chuckwalla Mountains a national monument

87
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.279
<v Speaker 2>to protect them from development. That's not the only environmental

88
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 2>action Biden has taken in recent days with a direct

89
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 2>impact on California. So let's talk about this ban on

90
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 2>new offshore oil and gas drilling. ABC White House, ABC

91
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 2>White House correspondent Karen Travers joins US live from Washington,

92
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>DC to discuss Karen, good morning to you. When we

93
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>say banning new offshore oil and gas drilling, what do

94
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 2>we mean.

95
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a significant, sweeping executive action announced by the

96
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 4>President yesterday to ban all future offshore oil and national

97
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 4>gas drilling on America's East and West coast, the eastern

98
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 4>Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska's North Bearing Sea. So they're

99
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.439
<v Speaker 4>kind of covering all the big spots and according to

100
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.160
<v Speaker 4>the White House. This move would block drilling in more

101
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:13.160
<v Speaker 4>than six hundred and twenty five million acres of US oceans.

102
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 4>The President said in a statement yesterday that this is

103
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 4>something that speech gooers, businesses people can all agree on

104
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.519
<v Speaker 4>that drilling off these codes could cause irreversible damage to

105
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:28.199
<v Speaker 4>places we hold dear. He said, it's unnecessary to meet

106
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.040
<v Speaker 4>the nation's energy needs and it's not worth the risks. Now,

107
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.240
<v Speaker 4>no surprise, the incoming Trump team is not happy with

108
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 4>this move by the Biden White House, and the spokesperson

109
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 4>for the President elect called this move political revenge and

110
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.480
<v Speaker 4>they sucker punch on their way out the door. Because

111
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 4>the incoming Trump team wants to make energy production and

112
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.439
<v Speaker 4>drilling a priority on day one. You've heard that from

113
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 4>the President election as a candidate. You know it's real

114
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 4>baby drill, and this could make it much more difficult

115
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.759
<v Speaker 4>for them to move forward on that. But we'll see

116
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 4>how they try to get around this. But notably, this

117
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.120
<v Speaker 4>law that the President used to take this executive action

118
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 4>was written in such a way that it actually makes

119
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 4>it almost permanent. If the Trump team wants to try

120
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 4>to reverse it, they would likely have to have Congress

121
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 4>change that law in order to make that happen.

122
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so he has set up a little bit of

123
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.519
<v Speaker 2>an obstacle on his way out the door. Exactly why

124
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.800
<v Speaker 2>do that now in just a few days left in

125
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>his administration.

126
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.240
<v Speaker 4>That was a question yesterday to Karine Jean Pierre, the

127
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.240
<v Speaker 4>White host Press secretary on Air Force Laanhoes traveling with

128
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.920
<v Speaker 4>the president yesterday, and she was pepper with some questions

129
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.399
<v Speaker 4>about the timing of this, and she didn't get into

130
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:39.160
<v Speaker 4>the specifics of you know, why right now, especially given

131
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.360
<v Speaker 4>what the Trump team was saying about this, and she

132
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 4>stuck to broadly just saying that this has been a

133
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.560
<v Speaker 4>big policy priority for this president over the last four years,

134
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 4>pointing to his record on land and water conservation. So

135
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.560
<v Speaker 4>she said, you know, this is something he has been

136
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.160
<v Speaker 4>wanting to do. It is something he has done through

137
00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:00.199
<v Speaker 4>other means over the past four years, and now they're

138
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 4>trying to do it because they have a checklist they're

139
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 4>trying to get to before their time is up.

140
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.279
<v Speaker 2>Karen, I know we only got a few minutes, a

141
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 2>few moments left together, but what exactly does this policy

142
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.000
<v Speaker 2>mean for a place like California?

143
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean it's significant when you look at given

144
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.920
<v Speaker 4>how sweeping this is. It bans any offshore oil and

145
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 4>natural gas drilline off of the West Coast. That's one

146
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 4>of the key areas there. And you know also, as

147
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.279
<v Speaker 4>I mentioned, the East Coast, the eastern Gulf Coast in Mexico,

148
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.120
<v Speaker 4>and then going all the way up to Alaska. You know,

149
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 4>I think the big thing that we're going to be

150
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.720
<v Speaker 4>looking at is the permanency of this. You know, when

151
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:43.279
<v Speaker 4>the White House took this executive action, all executive actions

152
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:47.720
<v Speaker 4>are always subject to legal challenges and then reversal by

153
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.320
<v Speaker 4>the next president. You and I in two and a

154
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.120
<v Speaker 4>half weeks are going to be talking a lot about

155
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 4>what the Trump administration is doing to reverse things that

156
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.559
<v Speaker 4>the Biden administration did. But they were clever about this

157
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 4>one by turning to and authority on this. That makes

158
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.120
<v Speaker 4>it very challenging for the Trump team to undo it.

159
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.840
<v Speaker 4>This essentially makes this permanent right now. And it's about

160
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 4>six hundred and twenty five million total acres of US ocean.

161
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how many of those are specific to California,

162
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:19.679
<v Speaker 4>but that is a very large chunk of American ocean.

163
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 2>ABC News White House Correspondent Karen Travers Thank you so

164
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.360
<v Speaker 2>much for joining us this morning. We do appreciate it.

165
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Have a great day you do the same, and good

166
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 2>morning to all of you. This is KFI wake up call.

167
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:35.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm Michael Monks filling in for Amy King. I want

168
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.559
<v Speaker 2>to let you know if you're just joining us, we

169
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:40.840
<v Speaker 2>are monitoring the Santa Ana wind forecast for our entire

170
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Southland area that is starting today all the way through

171
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday and parts of Thursday. It looks like we will

172
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.840
<v Speaker 2>have updates throughout this hour, throughout every newscast, and you

173
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:52.919
<v Speaker 2>can bet that we will have it throughout the day

174
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 2>and all of our programs. So just stay aware, stay

175
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>tuned to us, and keep your devices charged and handy.

176
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.960
<v Speaker 2>This does a to be a very dangerous situation brewing.

177
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:04.399
<v Speaker 2>We've got some more news coming out of the KFI

178
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hour news room. President Joe Biden has come

179
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.639
<v Speaker 2>to the Southland to announce the creation of a national

180
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.279
<v Speaker 2>monument near Joshua Tree National Park. The proclamation would establish

181
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:17.639
<v Speaker 2>a Chukwala National Monument, making drilling, mining, and other energy

182
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 2>and industrial related activity illegal in the area. Supporters have

183
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 2>also said it would protect important heritage values tied to

184
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.960
<v Speaker 2>the land, such as a multi use trail system established

185
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.679
<v Speaker 2>by indigenous peoples as well as their sacred sites. The

186
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.080
<v Speaker 2>La City Council is back to work today and is

187
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.840
<v Speaker 2>scheduled to consider final approval for a proposed billion dollar

188
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker 2>expansion of Television City. It'll also hear from nine groups

189
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 2>that have formally opposed it. The plan is for up

190
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.360
<v Speaker 2>to one point four million square feet of new development,

191
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:50.600
<v Speaker 2>the retention of two hundred and sixty four thousand square

192
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 2>feet of existing uses, and the demolition of nearly a

193
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:57.559
<v Speaker 2>half million square feed of space for new buildings. They

194
00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 2>say the number of stages that TV City would incur

195
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.039
<v Speaker 2>trees from eight to fifteen. Two stages built in the

196
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.639
<v Speaker 2>nineties would be taken down, but four original stages built

197
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:10.919
<v Speaker 2>by CBS back in nineteen fifty two would be preserved,

198
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:14.639
<v Speaker 2>along with other historical design elements. We got another round

199
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.720
<v Speaker 2>of bitter cold expected to take hold of these southern

200
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 2>states after ice, snow, and wind already hammered much of

201
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:25.639
<v Speaker 2>the country in that direction. The storm system took down trees,

202
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.679
<v Speaker 2>it even threatened to freeze in Florida. The National Weather

203
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Service said that by early Tuesday this morning, wind chilled

204
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:36.039
<v Speaker 2>temperatures could dip into the teens to low twenties from

205
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Texas across the Gulf Coast. They say a low pressure

206
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 2>system is then expected to form as soon as tomorrow,

207
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:47.879
<v Speaker 2>bringing snow to parts of Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. Again,

208
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.480
<v Speaker 2>we are monitoring this situation involving the red flag warnings

209
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.480
<v Speaker 2>and the strong winds that are on the way. A

210
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.960
<v Speaker 2>quick reminder, the National Weather Service here in La It

211
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:02.960
<v Speaker 2>has called this a particularly dangerous situation. They say it

212
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.399
<v Speaker 2>could be life threatening. They also note that it is

213
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:12.159
<v Speaker 2>probably widespread. There are different warnings and forecasts for just

214
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.440
<v Speaker 2>about every corner of the Southland area. So this is

215
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.320
<v Speaker 2>a day to take those warnings seriously and to pay

216
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker 2>attention to what's going on around you. If they say

217
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:22.759
<v Speaker 2>to get out, or if you feel like you need

218
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.360
<v Speaker 2>to get out, you're probably feeling the right thing. The

219
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.879
<v Speaker 2>strongest winds in more than a decade could hit southern

220
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 2>California today. We are facing possible structural damage and an

221
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.600
<v Speaker 2>extreme fire risk at a time where we haven't seen

222
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:41.879
<v Speaker 2>substantial rain in months. It is dangerous and potentially life threatening,

223
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.159
<v Speaker 2>according to the National Weather Service. So starting this afternoon,

224
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:49.279
<v Speaker 2>the windstorm will impact Los Angeles and Ventura counties. It

225
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 2>will peak in the early hours of Wednesday, when the

226
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.240
<v Speaker 2>gusts could reach eighty miles per hour. Now in the mountains.

227
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.720
<v Speaker 2>In the foothills, they say the gusts could be even higher,

228
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.200
<v Speaker 2>like more than one hundred miles per hour. The Weather

229
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:06.279
<v Speaker 2>Services warned of down trees and knocked over big rigs, trailers,

230
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 2>motor homes. They say powerful powerful offshore gust could also

231
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:14.600
<v Speaker 2>bring dangerous conditions off the coasts of Orange County and

232
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:19.919
<v Speaker 2>LA including Catalina Island. Potential delays and turbulence could arise

233
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.679
<v Speaker 2>at local airports. I mean, it's every single part of

234
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 2>the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area that could be impacted

235
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:30.559
<v Speaker 2>by these winds that are rolling in. And this is

236
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:35.240
<v Speaker 2>another potential consequence public safety power shutoffs. They're being considered

237
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.519
<v Speaker 2>for nearly three hundred thousand customers across the region, including

238
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Southern California's Edison So So Cal Edison, You're gonna have

239
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:46.919
<v Speaker 2>to pay attention today. We're gonna bring you all of

240
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:51.559
<v Speaker 2>the details as we get them all morning, all afternoon,

241
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 2>all evening, and night long right here on KFI. So

242
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.000
<v Speaker 2>stay with us, but also keep your devices charged and

243
00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:00.440
<v Speaker 2>get your go bag ready in case the situation gets

244
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:04.759
<v Speaker 2>bad where you are. Since the war between Israel and

245
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:08.559
<v Speaker 2>Hamas started, we have heard cries for ceasefire, from international

246
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.480
<v Speaker 2>leaders to the White House to college campuses right here

247
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.960
<v Speaker 2>in southern California. There have been some close calls, and

248
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.279
<v Speaker 2>now we may be closer to the latest one. Both

249
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 2>the outgoing and incoming presidents have wanted to see the

250
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:25.720
<v Speaker 2>fighting stopped, but negotiations currently have become bogged down over

251
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>the names of hostages to be released. ABC News correspondent

252
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Jordana Miller joins US Live from Jerusalem to talk about it.

253
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Good morning to you, Jordana.

254
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.799
<v Speaker 5>Good morning. Hamas has said that they have approved a

255
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 5>list of thirty four hostages that they are willing to

256
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:49.879
<v Speaker 5>release in the first part of a ceasefire. It's important

257
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.960
<v Speaker 5>to note, though, that Hamas has not said who is

258
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.480
<v Speaker 5>alive and who is dead on this list, and it

259
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:59.559
<v Speaker 5>does include the names of two Americans, one in their

260
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:05.320
<v Speaker 5>sixty and a younger Israeli American in his thirties. This

261
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:10.039
<v Speaker 5>list of hostages has not been really it has not

262
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:14.399
<v Speaker 5>been seen officially or given back officially to the Israelis.

263
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.919
<v Speaker 5>It's a list that Israel initially gave to the mediators

264
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 5>in the summertime, and so there's some questions about why

265
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:24.799
<v Speaker 5>Hamas has released it or why they're talking about it

266
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.399
<v Speaker 5>in the press instead of passing it through the mediators

267
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:32.279
<v Speaker 5>to Israel. So some here see it as a move

268
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:35.240
<v Speaker 5>to kind of pressure Israel, and of course it is.

269
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker 5>You know, it has stirred the Israeli public as anything

270
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.559
<v Speaker 5>related to the hostage issue or crisis does. Right, there's

271
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 5>thirty four names on the list, but there's you know,

272
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.200
<v Speaker 5>ninety six hostages. So here in Israel, some of the

273
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.399
<v Speaker 5>families are you know, are cautiously optimistic when they saw

274
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.480
<v Speaker 5>the names of their loved ones on the list, but

275
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.440
<v Speaker 5>others are just furious that that you know, over sixty

276
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.879
<v Speaker 5>hostages are not on this list. What will be their fate?

277
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.559
<v Speaker 5>So you know, again that is you know, there are

278
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:13.840
<v Speaker 5>protests here daily against the government of calling on them

279
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:18.639
<v Speaker 5>to really negotiate for a full swap all the hostages,

280
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.559
<v Speaker 5>for a large number of Palestinian prisoners to be released,

281
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 5>but that is not clearly, that is not where the

282
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.720
<v Speaker 5>negotiations are going. As we see a partial deal being

283
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.600
<v Speaker 5>talked about. Even though this list is out there, we

284
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.080
<v Speaker 5>are still not at the finish line, we heard Sector

285
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.000
<v Speaker 5>of State Anthony Blincoln say he hopes to complete a deal.

286
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:43.039
<v Speaker 5>I think it is before President Trump returns to the

287
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:47.480
<v Speaker 5>White House. I think it is highly, highly unlikely, unfortunately,

288
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.039
<v Speaker 5>because there's still obstacles and disputes. You know, will the

289
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:57.120
<v Speaker 5>Israeli army withdraw all of their forces? Will this seafire

290
00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.679
<v Speaker 5>mean the end of the war or just the seafire?

291
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.919
<v Speaker 5>How many Palestinian prisoners will be released for each American

292
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:09.440
<v Speaker 5>versus each Israeli female soldier versus you know, just an

293
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:13.319
<v Speaker 5>ordinary Israeli the numbers are all different. They haven't been

294
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:17.279
<v Speaker 5>agreed upon. So we're still, i would say, unfortunately, weeks

295
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:19.480
<v Speaker 5>away from a ceasefire deal.

296
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I was just about to ask you what a ceasefire

297
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 2>would mean, and you explained it just then. It seems

298
00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Speaker 2>like no one really knows. Does it mean we just

299
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.200
<v Speaker 2>stopped fighting for a little while? Is the war over?

300
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:32.160
<v Speaker 2>So that's another sticking point. But also as it relates

301
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to the list of hostages who are on these lists,

302
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:41.000
<v Speaker 2>it's been reported that Hamas doesn't know which hostages or

303
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:41.960
<v Speaker 2>are alive or dead.

304
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.319
<v Speaker 5>That's right, that's right. Hamas says they don't know, and

305
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:50.880
<v Speaker 5>that's another sticking point. Israel wants to know what they're

306
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:54.279
<v Speaker 5>getting in this deal before they sign it, and that's

307
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:58.240
<v Speaker 5>because Hamas acted in bad faith during the last ceasefire.

308
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.920
<v Speaker 5>Even though over one hundred fifty people came out of

309
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:09.160
<v Speaker 5>Gaza back in November of twenty twenty three, still Hamas

310
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:13.119
<v Speaker 5>did not end up faithfully completing that deal. They were

311
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:18.039
<v Speaker 5>supposed to release every female that they had, every female

312
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:21.160
<v Speaker 5>Israeli's hostage, and they did not do that. They're still

313
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.640
<v Speaker 5>over a dozen that they're holding, including young Israeli girls,

314
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.160
<v Speaker 5>with the grave concern that they, you know, are being

315
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.599
<v Speaker 5>sexually assaulted. Right their names do appear on this list

316
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.039
<v Speaker 5>of thirty four to come out. In the first phase,

317
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:43.519
<v Speaker 5>Hamas is asking for several days of a ceasefire to

318
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:46.839
<v Speaker 5>try to locate and figure out what's happening with the hostages,

319
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:50.359
<v Speaker 5>who's alive and who's dead. But of course Israel has,

320
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:55.279
<v Speaker 5>you know, a certain amount of skepticism, and they're not,

321
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.799
<v Speaker 5>you know, there's a huge trust gap of course between

322
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 5>the sides. And in the past Hamasa said, we don't

323
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:03.680
<v Speaker 5>know where this hostage is. We think so and so

324
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.240
<v Speaker 5>is dead, and they've turned out to be alive and

325
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:10.160
<v Speaker 5>Hamas turns them over. So you know, is Hamas telling

326
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:12.599
<v Speaker 5>the truth? Do they really not know about where most

327
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.200
<v Speaker 5>of these hostages are or are they saying that to

328
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:16.200
<v Speaker 5>buy extra time.

329
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:20.119
<v Speaker 2>We're talking with ABC News correspondent Ordana Miller, who is

330
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:24.039
<v Speaker 2>live in Jerusalem, and before we let you go this morning,

331
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:28.000
<v Speaker 2>we are facing a significant change here in America. The

332
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.880
<v Speaker 2>White House will be in different hands on January twenty,

333
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:35.599
<v Speaker 2>President Biden leaving office, President Elect Trump resuming office, returning

334
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:39.480
<v Speaker 2>to office. What can we expect in terms of the

335
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:43.480
<v Speaker 2>approach by the US to this conflict when that change

336
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:44.759
<v Speaker 2>takes place in a couple of weeks.

337
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:50.599
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think it's clear when we look at some

338
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:55.160
<v Speaker 5>of the remarks from Israeli officials that you know, they

339
00:19:55.279 --> 00:20:01.720
<v Speaker 5>expect that President Trump will support what Israel wants to

340
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:05.559
<v Speaker 5>do next. Obviously that wasn't always the case with President Biden,

341
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:10.000
<v Speaker 5>for better and for worse. But I think here the

342
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:14.559
<v Speaker 5>assessment is that Israel's going to wait to really sign

343
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.960
<v Speaker 5>a Gaza cease fire until after Trump's in office, hoping

344
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.759
<v Speaker 5>that Trump may be able to put pressure on the mediators,

345
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:27.519
<v Speaker 5>cutter on Egypt. Those who are the greatest influence over

346
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:33.680
<v Speaker 5>Hamas to get them to finally crack if you will, Hamas.

347
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:37.720
<v Speaker 5>Many people believed that once Ja Chessinoir, the head of Hamas,

348
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.880
<v Speaker 5>was killed by the Israelis, which happened, you know, several

349
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:47.240
<v Speaker 5>weeks ago, you know, in October, a couple months ago,

350
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:50.240
<v Speaker 5>many believed that Hamas would soften their position once he

351
00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:53.279
<v Speaker 5>was out. But his brother has now taken over the

352
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:57.440
<v Speaker 5>negotiations and he has not again showed flexibility on the

353
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:01.240
<v Speaker 5>issue of ending the war of an Israeli true presence,

354
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:06.039
<v Speaker 5>on the identity of Palestinians that will be released. And

355
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:10.519
<v Speaker 5>so the hope, I think of many Israeli politicians is

356
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:12.920
<v Speaker 5>that when Trump comes into office, he'll be able to

357
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:17.799
<v Speaker 5>exert more pressure on the mediators and back Israel if

358
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.680
<v Speaker 5>it wants to continue the military operation in Gaza. There's

359
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.720
<v Speaker 5>still combat in the northern part of Gaza and central Gaza,

360
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.759
<v Speaker 5>until Hamas feels that they're under more pressure to cave

361
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:32.960
<v Speaker 5>in or show flexibility. So I think many, you know,

362
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.680
<v Speaker 5>here in Jerusalem, the political class are waiting for Trump

363
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.039
<v Speaker 5>to come into office. They think it will work Togral's benefit,

364
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:40.960
<v Speaker 5>and it likely will.

365
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:46.000
<v Speaker 2>ABC News correspondent Jordana Miller joining us live from Jerusalem.

366
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:48.000
<v Speaker 2>We really appreciate the time you gave us, and I

367
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.160
<v Speaker 2>hope we get to talk again soon.

368
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.480
<v Speaker 5>Thanks Tucson.

369
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:56.640
<v Speaker 2>We're going to be heading to CES in Las Vegas momentarily,

370
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:01.240
<v Speaker 2>but we are we connected yet? Are connected? All right?

371
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.880
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna get onto The Consumer Electronics Show is what

372
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:06.319
<v Speaker 2>it used to be called. Now it's just called CES.

373
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:09.680
<v Speaker 2>And every year in Vegas, the tech world companies and

374
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:12.880
<v Speaker 2>their enthusiasts they gather for this thing and a lot

375
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:15.640
<v Speaker 2>of people go to this Tech names like Google and

376
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Samsung are there, but so are Delta, Volvo and Laoreal.

377
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:24.079
<v Speaker 2>We'll see things like a self driving John Deere tractor,

378
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:29.240
<v Speaker 2>talk about your Way mo Am I right, and smart

379
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:36.039
<v Speaker 2>baby bassinettes microwaves with tablets built in. ABC News Technology

380
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:39.319
<v Speaker 2>reporter Mike Debuski he joins his Live Now to talk

381
00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:41.000
<v Speaker 2>about it all. Good morning to you, Mike.

382
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:42.839
<v Speaker 3>Good morning. How are you? I am well?

383
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:47.160
<v Speaker 2>So CES starts today. What does this event mean to

384
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:48.519
<v Speaker 2>the tech industry and consumers.

385
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:51.799
<v Speaker 6>Well, it is the tech world's annual trade show, and

386
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:53.839
<v Speaker 6>it takes place in Las Vegas at the beginning of

387
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:56.200
<v Speaker 6>every year. It's a way for the tech world to

388
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.279
<v Speaker 6>really set the tone for the year ahead. Organizers they're

389
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.079
<v Speaker 6>expecting about one hundred and forty thousand people to descend

390
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.400
<v Speaker 6>on Las Vegas, thousands of exhibitors as well, across about

391
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:10.240
<v Speaker 6>a dozen different buildings around the city, including some of

392
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:13.759
<v Speaker 6>the biggest convention centers in the country. And this year

393
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:18.240
<v Speaker 6>is perhaps no surprise all about artificial intelligence. AI has

394
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:20.440
<v Speaker 6>taken over the tech world in a big way in

395
00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:23.559
<v Speaker 6>recent years, and that's absolutely showing up here at CES,

396
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.359
<v Speaker 6>as evidenced by the fact that the keynote address kicking

397
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.640
<v Speaker 6>everything off last night in Las Vegas was given by

398
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 6>Jensen Huang. He's the CEO of Invidia, that is, of

399
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:37.799
<v Speaker 6>course the computer chip company that really took off in

400
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.559
<v Speaker 6>twenty twenty four because their processors are really good at

401
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.279
<v Speaker 6>running and building AI programs, and Vidia has really become

402
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.079
<v Speaker 6>the go to company for Meta and Amazon and Google

403
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.599
<v Speaker 6>and others when they're building their own AI technologies. Gary

404
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 6>Shapiro is the head of the organization that puts on CES,

405
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:58.559
<v Speaker 6>and he told me in the lead up to this

406
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:02.240
<v Speaker 6>event that he's expected about half of the exhibitors on

407
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:06.039
<v Speaker 6>the floor to mention generative AI in some capacity.

408
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:07.519
<v Speaker 3>So AI is the big thing.

409
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, I imagine there's going to be a lot of

410
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:11.759
<v Speaker 2>oohing and eyeing over it, a lot of showing off

411
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:13.759
<v Speaker 2>of what folks can do with AI. But at the

412
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:17.279
<v Speaker 2>same time, the role that this technology plays in our

413
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:20.680
<v Speaker 2>everyday lives, it's become a regular topic for discussion and

414
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:25.640
<v Speaker 2>even concern for lawmakers for the public. Does that loom

415
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:27.640
<v Speaker 2>over this event at all or is it all just

416
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:28.400
<v Speaker 2>horay horay?

417
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:33.119
<v Speaker 6>I think it does in some capacity, right, AI, you know,

418
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:35.519
<v Speaker 6>really kind of has been It's been around for a

419
00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:39.480
<v Speaker 6>very long time, but the recent wave of AI excitement

420
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:41.440
<v Speaker 6>and AI hype really started with the launch of j

421
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.720
<v Speaker 6>GPT in twenty twenty two, and since then the technology

422
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.640
<v Speaker 6>has yet to answer some pretty crucial questions, things like

423
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:52.759
<v Speaker 6>energy consumption. This is a very power hungry type of

424
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:55.559
<v Speaker 6>technology and it puts a lot of strain on energy

425
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:59.240
<v Speaker 6>grids and local environments, so that is something that they

426
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.240
<v Speaker 6>haven't quite f figured out yet. In addition to that,

427
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:06.519
<v Speaker 6>the ability by which people can easily spread miss and

428
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:10.799
<v Speaker 6>disinformation using AI tools that are now readily accessible to

429
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:15.200
<v Speaker 6>them continues to be a lingering concern beyond just the

430
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:17.480
<v Speaker 6>simple practical matter of the fact that a lot of

431
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 6>these technologies just aren't very good yet, right. They hallucinate,

432
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:23.400
<v Speaker 6>they make mistakes, they make things up, and that is

433
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:26.440
<v Speaker 6>something that continues to plague even the top players in

434
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:32.039
<v Speaker 6>the industry. Nonetheless, people at CEES are already touting artificial

435
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:34.720
<v Speaker 6>intelligence as the way forward. Google, for example, says it's

436
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:37.640
<v Speaker 6>going to bring its AI technology, which they call Gemini,

437
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:40.319
<v Speaker 6>into their line of smart home products, which they call

438
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.440
<v Speaker 6>Nest products. HP and Dell have announced a bevy of

439
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:47.839
<v Speaker 6>new laptop PCs that they say are designed from the

440
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:51.319
<v Speaker 6>ground up to run AI programs, and there's even an

441
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:55.559
<v Speaker 6>LGTV TVs are always really big at CEES that they

442
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:59.720
<v Speaker 6>say will run AI programs to help sharpen images to

443
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:02.839
<v Speaker 6>make your picture quality a little bit better depending on

444
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:05.839
<v Speaker 6>how what kind of file you're watching, and they call that.

445
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:08.839
<v Speaker 3>The o led Evo TV. So it's already showing up

446
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:10.079
<v Speaker 3>in a pretty big way here at the show.

447
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:13.839
<v Speaker 2>We're talking with ABC News technology reporter Mike Debuski about

448
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:17.279
<v Speaker 2>CEES and all the gadgets and tech on display there

449
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:21.839
<v Speaker 2>in Las Vegas. I'm wondering, are there stakes for companies

450
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:24.160
<v Speaker 2>at this event? Is it like a Super Bowl commercial?

451
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Thing you really want to be the one that people

452
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:27.079
<v Speaker 2>talk about.

453
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think a good way to think about CES

454
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:35.440
<v Speaker 6>is not necessarily like, you know, means by which to

455
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:38.039
<v Speaker 6>look at stuff that you're gonna buy, but rather kind

456
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.400
<v Speaker 6>of a popularity contest or a talent show maybe is

457
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.759
<v Speaker 6>the better comparison. Last year, we saw a company called

458
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.000
<v Speaker 6>Rabbit breakout with an AI device that they called the

459
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:50.960
<v Speaker 6>r One. It was kind of the darling of the show.

460
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:54.079
<v Speaker 6>It had this fun design that was bright orange and

461
00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:56.599
<v Speaker 6>it looked like an old, kind of retro piece of

462
00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:59.640
<v Speaker 6>technology from the nineteen eighties, and people really kind of

463
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:01.720
<v Speaker 6>fell in love with this thing at CES and they

464
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:04.640
<v Speaker 6>saw a lot of pre orders as a result. Of course,

465
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:07.079
<v Speaker 6>it's worth mentioning later in the year when reviewers got

466
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:09.240
<v Speaker 6>their hands on the thing, it didn't quite work as

467
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:12.480
<v Speaker 6>intended or as explained, But that is kind of what

468
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:14.720
<v Speaker 6>CES is all about, right. It's a place for these

469
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:18.519
<v Speaker 6>smaller companies to have a breakout moment and really capture

470
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.480
<v Speaker 6>the attention of the broader tech press. It was Rabbit's

471
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:25.039
<v Speaker 6>game last year. It's still too early to say who's

472
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:28.839
<v Speaker 6>going to be the big winner this year, but you know, competitors,

473
00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:31.240
<v Speaker 6>big and small from companies that you've never heard of

474
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:36.119
<v Speaker 6>to Google's and Samsung's and Hyundai and Sony you know,

475
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.240
<v Speaker 6>are all at the show as well. So we're gonna

476
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:39.720
<v Speaker 6>have to just wait and see who kind of breaks out.

477
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh, what are the buzziest gadgets that might end up

478
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:44.319
<v Speaker 2>in people's homes or possessions soon.

479
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:49.119
<v Speaker 6>So there's several. There's an LG signature over the Range

480
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:52.200
<v Speaker 6>microwave oven in case your microwave oven doesn't have enough

481
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:55.440
<v Speaker 6>screen on it. This one has a twenty seven inch

482
00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:58.799
<v Speaker 6>Android tablet that you can run apps on like Zoom.

483
00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:02.119
<v Speaker 6>Because it's got cam as well, you can track, you know,

484
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:04.359
<v Speaker 6>the status of your popcorn as it's popping in the

485
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:07.599
<v Speaker 6>microwave oven as well using those cameras. LG says it's

486
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:10.400
<v Speaker 6>just a concept, but based on reception that they're going

487
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:13.000
<v Speaker 6>to get at this show, they could put it into

488
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:16.680
<v Speaker 6>production before the end of the year. Some robo vacuum

489
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:19.839
<v Speaker 6>announcements at CEES this year. There's this company called Dream

490
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:23.079
<v Speaker 6>that has a robot vacuum that it says can push

491
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:27.200
<v Speaker 6>itself up small inclines, which is pretty interesting, not stairs

492
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:29.039
<v Speaker 6>or anything like that. They say it can only kind

493
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:31.319
<v Speaker 6>of do this up to two point five inches. But

494
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:34.079
<v Speaker 6>this robot vacuum kind of looks like an old rumba,

495
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:37.039
<v Speaker 6>has little arms that you know, deploy and can kind

496
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 6>of push itself up these small little lips that it

497
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:43.039
<v Speaker 6>can encounter in a person's home. And another robot vacuum

498
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:45.519
<v Speaker 6>piece of news is called the robo rock. This has

499
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.480
<v Speaker 6>a retractable arm that can come out and move things

500
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:50.279
<v Speaker 6>that are in its way out of the way, so

501
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:54.160
<v Speaker 6>dog toys or arrant socks, or laundry or anything like that.

502
00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:56.640
<v Speaker 6>That's what the robo rock is designed to address. And

503
00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:58.079
<v Speaker 6>then I got another fun one for you, but you

504
00:28:58.160 --> 00:28:59.559
<v Speaker 6>might want to hold your nose for it. It's called

505
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:03.440
<v Speaker 6>the re This is what bosh China is calling a

506
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:07.079
<v Speaker 6>smart baby crib. And this crib has a sensor in

507
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.400
<v Speaker 6>it that can detect changes in air quality. Oh, I

508
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:12.039
<v Speaker 6>see where you're going with you see where I'm going

509
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:14.559
<v Speaker 6>with this, and it can alert you when your baby

510
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:17.279
<v Speaker 6>needs a diaper change, so that might be very helpful

511
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:19.519
<v Speaker 6>to some new parents. It also, of course has a

512
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:22.240
<v Speaker 6>heart and a respiratory sensor in it as well as

513
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:25.119
<v Speaker 6>he can keep track of your bad baby's status. That

514
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:28.039
<v Speaker 6>is already in production. It's one thousand dollars and it's

515
00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:30.880
<v Speaker 6>only available in China right now, but again, based on

516
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.119
<v Speaker 6>reception at this show, that could change.

517
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:35.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, all I have is a cat, and he has

518
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:37.279
<v Speaker 2>no problem letting me know when it's time to change

519
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.799
<v Speaker 2>that litterbox. But maybe someday that product will appeal to

520
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:44.839
<v Speaker 2>me as well. Mike Debuski, ABC News Technology reporter in

521
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:46.880
<v Speaker 2>New York, thank you so much for joining us Live today.

522
00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:50.480
<v Speaker 2>We do appreciate you, of course, take care. President Biden

523
00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:53.599
<v Speaker 2>has arrived in La and is traveling to the Coachella

524
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Valley today to announce the creation of a national monument

525
00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:59.720
<v Speaker 2>south of Joshua Tree National Park. The President and first

526
00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:02.359
<v Speaker 2>late He got here last night after visiting families of

527
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:05.400
<v Speaker 2>terror victims in New Orleans. Biden is preparing to sign

528
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:10.920
<v Speaker 2>a proclamation that would establish a Chukwala National Monument, making drilling, mining,

529
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.839
<v Speaker 2>and other energy and industrial related activity illegal in that area.

530
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:18.440
<v Speaker 2>An earthquake has killed at least ninety five people in Tibet,

531
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.720
<v Speaker 2>damaged hundreds of homes as well, and also impacted a

532
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:24.880
<v Speaker 2>high altitude region of western China and areas of Nepal

533
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:29.079
<v Speaker 2>many other areas. Excuse me, many others were trapped. Dozens

534
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:33.799
<v Speaker 2>of aftershocks have shaken that remote region. The state funeral

535
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:36.640
<v Speaker 2>of President Jimmy Carter moves to the nation's capital after

536
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:39.799
<v Speaker 2>memorials in Georgia. His body will be taken from the

537
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Carter Presidential Center today and flown to Washington aboard Special

538
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:47.559
<v Speaker 2>Air Mission thirty nine in honor of the thirty ninth President.

539
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:50.680
<v Speaker 2>The Carter family and former president will arrive at Joint

540
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Base Andrews with a motorcade following to the US Navy Memorial.

541
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:59.119
<v Speaker 2>Carter's flag draped casket will be transferred to a horse

542
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:03.799
<v Speaker 2>drawn carriage or his final journey to the Capitol. And

543
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.440
<v Speaker 2>then we got Bill Handle coming up at six zho five.

544
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.240
<v Speaker 2>It'll be Handle on the news this morning. Bill Handle,

545
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Nil Sevidra and I will be there. We hope you'll

546
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:15.519
<v Speaker 2>be there as well. We'll be talking about these Santa

547
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Ana wins and the threats of fire. Certainly, President elect

548
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Trump often changes his mind, even right before all our eyes.

549
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.079
<v Speaker 2>The latest example has maybe come this week, shortly after

550
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:31.519
<v Speaker 2>he called for one big, Beautiful bill encompassing much of

551
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:35.519
<v Speaker 2>his campaign promises, border security, domestic energy production, a renewal

552
00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:38.319
<v Speaker 2>of his tax cuts from his first term, no tax

553
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:42.000
<v Speaker 2>on tips and more. It's kind of back down a

554
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:46.119
<v Speaker 2>bit after facing opposition from Republicans. So what happened and

555
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:50.799
<v Speaker 2>what happens next? ABC News National correspondent Stephen Portnoy joins

556
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:54.759
<v Speaker 2>his live from Washington, d C. Stephen, Good morning to you, well.

557
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Good morning to you. Well tell me remember, yeah, you remember.

558
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.680
<v Speaker 7>That Schoolhouse Rock episode all about budget RECONCILLI right.

559
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:02.839
<v Speaker 2>I think so? Was Becca Ferguson the singer.

560
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.920
<v Speaker 7>No, Unfortunately there was no such episode, and so as

561
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:09.720
<v Speaker 7>a result, I have to now explain to you this

562
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:12.319
<v Speaker 7>process of how this all works to try to avoid

563
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:15.440
<v Speaker 7>a filibuster in the Senate. Budget reconciliation is the process

564
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:19.640
<v Speaker 7>by hammering through along party lines, major pieces of legislation

565
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.400
<v Speaker 7>that the minority party in the Senate can't block. This

566
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.680
<v Speaker 7>was the process that Democrats used to get Obamacare passed,

567
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:27.480
<v Speaker 7>and the Inflation Production Act and a whole bunch of

568
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:30.960
<v Speaker 7>other Biden priorities. It's also the same procedure that Republicans

569
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:34.440
<v Speaker 7>used to muscle through the Trump era tax cuts, and

570
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:38.720
<v Speaker 7>those tax cuts are now expiring. So how do Republicans

571
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.400
<v Speaker 7>who control the House and Senate get this done? And

572
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:45.039
<v Speaker 7>at a thirty thousand foot viewpoint, what they want to

573
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:47.880
<v Speaker 7>do is they want to accomplish a lot. They want

574
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:52.240
<v Speaker 7>border provisions, energy provisions, tax provisions, debt provisions, spending things,

575
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.519
<v Speaker 7>and all of it. The question is whether they're going

576
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:57.720
<v Speaker 7>to do it in one big, beautiful bill as Donald

577
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.480
<v Speaker 7>Trump has spoken of, or split it in two as

578
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:02.799
<v Speaker 7>Senate leaders are talking about it. They've wanted to do

579
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:05.480
<v Speaker 7>because they see it just they think it's just easier

580
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.880
<v Speaker 7>to do and perhaps more just smarter in their minds.

581
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:13.599
<v Speaker 7>Challenge for Speaker Mike Johnson is to keep pretty much

582
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.920
<v Speaker 7>every single one of his Republicans in line behind the package.

583
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:20.799
<v Speaker 7>And if he's afraid if you start picking various parts off,

584
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.079
<v Speaker 7>there'll be some in his caucus to say, I want

585
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:27.720
<v Speaker 7>this but not that. And how do you accomplish the

586
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.400
<v Speaker 7>entire goal if you have some of the members breaking off.

587
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:34.359
<v Speaker 7>He can't as we saw last Friday when he had

588
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.119
<v Speaker 7>his election for Speaker. He can't afford to lose more

589
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:40.480
<v Speaker 7>than one vote. And you have a number of moderates

590
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:45.279
<v Speaker 7>from mainly the Northeast, who come from high tax states

591
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:47.720
<v Speaker 7>such as New Jersey and New York, Connecticut and other

592
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:51.079
<v Speaker 7>places who have made that majority because without those Republicans,

593
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.799
<v Speaker 7>Speaker Johnson doesn't have the gavel at all. They want

594
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:57.839
<v Speaker 7>a restoration of that state and local tax deduction, and

595
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.599
<v Speaker 7>they've been demanding it for years. Say that this is

596
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.119
<v Speaker 7>their moment of maximum leverage.

597
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so, well Trump coming to talk to them today.

598
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:07.440
<v Speaker 7>Or no, No, he's right, So he's going to be

599
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:09.280
<v Speaker 7>on Capitol Hill tomorrow. We expect he's gonna meet with

600
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:12.800
<v Speaker 7>Senate Republicans at least. But look, the question is how

601
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:15.280
<v Speaker 7>are they going to proceed? And we're not even talking

602
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.639
<v Speaker 7>about the details. We're talking about the broad strategy here

603
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:21.280
<v Speaker 7>is gonna be one bill or two bills, easy enough,

604
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:24.519
<v Speaker 7>And yet it has to be decided right off the

605
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:26.920
<v Speaker 7>bat because the way this process works, the House and

606
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:29.320
<v Speaker 7>Senate have to pass a budget resolution that doesn't go

607
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:31.480
<v Speaker 7>to the President's desk. It's just between the two houses.

608
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:34.480
<v Speaker 7>They agree on that, and then they have to pass

609
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:38.199
<v Speaker 7>enacting legislation behind it that does wind up becoming enacted

610
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:40.920
<v Speaker 7>into law the President signs it. So at first the

611
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:43.960
<v Speaker 7>leaders have to agree on a handshake between themselves, and

612
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:46.119
<v Speaker 7>there is a bit of a philosophical disagreement. One bill

613
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:48.639
<v Speaker 7>or two and yesterday on a radio interview, President Elect

614
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:51.079
<v Speaker 7>Trump said that he'd prefer one bill, but if it

615
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:53.760
<v Speaker 7>has to be two, that's okay too. And the lack

616
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:58.760
<v Speaker 7>of some you know, firm guidance to the members isn't

617
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:04.280
<v Speaker 7>helpful because there is this little minor simmering debate should

618
00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:06.599
<v Speaker 7>it be one bill or two bills? And unless the

619
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.840
<v Speaker 7>President elect chooses one path, you're gonna continue to have

620
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:10.559
<v Speaker 7>that disagreement.

621
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:12.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, regardless of how many bills we end up with.

622
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Here are we seeing that the President elect and his

623
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Republican Congress intend to move swiftly on those campaign promises.

624
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:22.639
<v Speaker 7>Well, certainly that's the plan. I mean, look for this

625
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:27.760
<v Speaker 7>to make sense and happen. They want to do it

626
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:29.599
<v Speaker 7>as soon as possible. They want to hit the ground running.

627
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:31.599
<v Speaker 7>They want to confirm Trump's nominees in the Senate. They

628
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:36.119
<v Speaker 7>want to move this border, immigration, as energy at tax

629
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:39.719
<v Speaker 7>bill as swiftly as possible in the House. But again,

630
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:41.360
<v Speaker 7>in order for them to move forward, they really do

631
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:43.840
<v Speaker 7>need agreement between House and Senate leaders, and that is

632
00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:44.760
<v Speaker 7>the first step.

633
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:44.880
<v Speaker 6>You know.

634
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.119
<v Speaker 7>Senator Foon, the South Dakota Republican who now leads the

635
00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:51.840
<v Speaker 7>Senate Republican majority, has said he wants two bills, and

636
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:56.199
<v Speaker 7>that lobbying to try to persuade Trump to back that continues,

637
00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:58.360
<v Speaker 7>which is why Trump said yesterday, Oh, if.

638
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:01.400
<v Speaker 3>It's two bills, that's okay too. Not okay for Speaker Johnson.

639
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:04.800
<v Speaker 7>He sees strategically the importance of having it in one package.

640
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:06.719
<v Speaker 7>And again, this really does need to get resolved in

641
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:08.599
<v Speaker 7>order for anything to happen on the House side.

642
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Occasionally there have been Democrats coming out in support of

643
00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:14.039
<v Speaker 2>some of Trump's policy proposals, like no tax on tips.

644
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:16.199
<v Speaker 2>But if they lump it together in these bills with

645
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:19.559
<v Speaker 2>things that they find a little more deplorable, does that

646
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:23.639
<v Speaker 2>threaten its success without democratic support?

647
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's hard to know.

648
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:27.519
<v Speaker 7>I mean, look, the idea that Democrats would be on

649
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:31.239
<v Speaker 7>board with some of these border provisions or just general

650
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:33.960
<v Speaker 7>tax policies, I think is unlikely, and this will be

651
00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:36.440
<v Speaker 7>seen as a partisan package. If there happen to be

652
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:38.519
<v Speaker 7>a couple of Democrats who come on board, well that'll

653
00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:41.000
<v Speaker 7>be a big surprise and it'll be helpful to Speaker Johnson.

654
00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:42.719
<v Speaker 7>I just don't think it's likely, and I don't think

655
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:45.239
<v Speaker 7>he thinks it's likely either. They intend to move forward

656
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.559
<v Speaker 7>on a party line basis, because they have the majorities

657
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:50.800
<v Speaker 7>in both houses, and so they're going to try to

658
00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:53.519
<v Speaker 7>do that if it can win a couple of Democrats

659
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:54.920
<v Speaker 7>get them on board, well.

660
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Bully for them.

661
00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:59.079
<v Speaker 7>But they don't feel the need to necessarily sweeten the

662
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:02.440
<v Speaker 7>pot for Democrats, at least not yet, and it's going

663
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:04.639
<v Speaker 7>to be a difficult challenge. You mentioned in particular that

664
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:07.719
<v Speaker 7>no tax on tips idea. It was certainly a popular

665
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:10.159
<v Speaker 7>idea for Trump, and he reiterated the importance of it

666
00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:12.000
<v Speaker 7>earlier in the week when he posted on social media

667
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:14.440
<v Speaker 7>about it to remind everybody in his own party that

668
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:18.639
<v Speaker 7>he called for it, no tax on tips and all caps. Well, sure,

669
00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:21.199
<v Speaker 7>except if you are a wage earner who doesn't earn

670
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:23.400
<v Speaker 7>tips and you don't get that break, and you know

671
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:26.079
<v Speaker 7>you're a truck driver or a construction worker, and you know, well,

672
00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:28.960
<v Speaker 7>sorry for you. And never mind the fact that there's

673
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:32.480
<v Speaker 7>a cost to the treasury if you remove that taxation. Well,

674
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:34.599
<v Speaker 7>how do you cover that cost? Who gets the tax

675
00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:37.559
<v Speaker 7>increase to make up the difference? Or where do you

676
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:42.840
<v Speaker 7>cut the spending? What government agency or program get gets cut?

677
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:44.960
<v Speaker 7>And never mind the fact that some of the Freedom

678
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:48.119
<v Speaker 7>Caucus want to see it cuts two of the entitlement programs,

679
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:52.159
<v Speaker 7>social Security and Medicaid and medicare. Donald Trump's not on

680
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.400
<v Speaker 7>board for that, So it all seems very easy until

681
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:56.480
<v Speaker 7>you start putting pen to paper.

682
00:37:57.119 --> 00:38:00.840
<v Speaker 2>That's ABC News National correspondent Steven Portnoy, who always breaks

683
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:03.039
<v Speaker 2>it down so well for us. Although next time you

684
00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:05.079
<v Speaker 2>mentioned Schoolhouse Rock, I do hope you sing a little

685
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:07.679
<v Speaker 2>bit for us. Thank you, warm up a little bit

686
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:10.280
<v Speaker 2>more coffee, all right, have a great day. Thanks for

687
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:13.320
<v Speaker 2>being with us again, you bet well. We're watching these

688
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:16.400
<v Speaker 2>strong winds as they are set to blow across the Southland.

689
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:19.039
<v Speaker 2>The National Weather Service has called this a dangerous situation,

690
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:25.800
<v Speaker 2>potentially life threatening, destructive, wide spread windstorm. They're not mincing words.

691
00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:28.360
<v Speaker 2>They don't use hyperbolic language at the NWS here in

692
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:31.079
<v Speaker 2>LA and they say even areas that are not typically

693
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:34.880
<v Speaker 2>windy could be impacted today, tomorrow, maybe a little into Thursday.

694
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:40.159
<v Speaker 2>They say the thread of wildfires has been raised dramatically.

695
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.199
<v Speaker 2>We've got red flag warnings already in place for some

696
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:46.000
<v Speaker 2>places as of four o'clock this morning. That includes the

697
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:50.159
<v Speaker 2>Malibu Coast, the Santa Monica Mountains recreational area, the San

698
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Gabriel Valley, the San Fernando Valley, Callabasas, the Santa Clarita Valley,

699
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the San Gabriel Mountains, the five and fourteen freeway corridors,

700
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:02.280
<v Speaker 2>and then at new today we got a warning extending

701
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:06.440
<v Speaker 2>to include the La County Beaches, the Palas Verdes Hills,

702
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Catalina Island, the inland La County Coast, stretching all the

703
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:15.280
<v Speaker 2>way into downtown La and there will be more coming

704
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:18.320
<v Speaker 2>out across the region ten am this morning to six

705
00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:21.480
<v Speaker 2>pm Wednesday. The Antelope Valley joins the list and then

706
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:27.079
<v Speaker 2>they'll be upgraded to particularly dangerous situation a little bit

707
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:31.480
<v Speaker 2>later this afternoon as the Weather Service monitors the situation.

708
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:36.239
<v Speaker 2>It's not good conditions out there. So this is one

709
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:39.719
<v Speaker 2>of those fire weather condition scenarios where we want to

710
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:42.360
<v Speaker 2>pay very close attention to everything that's happening. We want

711
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.079
<v Speaker 2>to be prepared, we want to be toned into KFI.

712
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.719
<v Speaker 2>We'll give you the latest information, keep your devices charge,

713
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:50.920
<v Speaker 2>have your go bag ready when they tell you to evacuate.

714
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Probably a good idea to evacuate, even if you just

715
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:56.760
<v Speaker 2>get the feeling that maybe you should get out of dodge.

716
00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:00.960
<v Speaker 2>You might trust your instinct there. It's it's a tough one.

717
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.119
<v Speaker 2>We haven't had enough rain. We really haven't had any

718
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:07.480
<v Speaker 2>nothing more than a tenth of an inch since last May.

719
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:09.440
<v Speaker 2>That's made it really dry out there. It's created a

720
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:12.760
<v Speaker 2>lot of fuel. They're sending a lot of firefighters down

721
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:16.639
<v Speaker 2>from northern California. I mean, they are preparing for a

722
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:20.880
<v Speaker 2>serious situation. Let's hope it doesn't come to that, but

723
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:26.719
<v Speaker 2>let's be prepared just in case it does. And this

724
00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:31.840
<v Speaker 2>is KFI and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County

725
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Southland weather from KFI. Outside of those winds, the Santa

726
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Ana wins and the fire conditions, the regular old forecast

727
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:42.000
<v Speaker 2>says it'll be sunny, well highs around seventy from the

728
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:45.639
<v Speaker 2>beaches to downtown La mid sixties to around seventy in

729
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the San Fernando Valley, the sixties to around seventy in

730
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:51.119
<v Speaker 2>the San Gabriel Valley, mid sixties in the Santa Clarita Valley.

731
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.760
<v Speaker 2>It will be lower to mid fifties in the Antelope Valley.

732
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Right now, it is forty nine in Lahabra, fifty eight

733
00:40:56.440 --> 00:41:00.119
<v Speaker 2>in Calabasas, forty five in San Juan Capistrano. And if

734
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:03.559
<v Speaker 2>you want in El Segundo. We lead local live from
