I think we're starting to 9 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.240 take a bit of a breath. We know that thousands 10 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.560 of people are affected by the fires. Thanks to Michael Monks, 11 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.759 Matt money Smith, Chris Berry getting us up to date 12 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.359 as you early risers were getting up and about. 13 00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.359 It's just crazy, but hopefully things. 14 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.719 Will start to sort of get on a more even keel, 15 00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.519 although this one's going to last for a very long time. 16 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.719 Thousands of people lost everything. 17 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.280 So it's going to be weird as we start to 18 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:16.159 get back into a normal rhythm, knowing that there's still 19 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.400 so much devastation and so many lives affected. 20 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.760 But we'll do our best. Here's what's ahead on wake 21 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:21.200 Up Call. 22 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.400 As the winds die down, firefighters continue to shore up 23 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:27.400 lines around the two largest fires in southern California. The 24 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.079 Pacific Palisades Fire is now twenty one percent surrounded. The 25 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:35.439 fire in Altadena and Pasadena forty five percent surrounded. CalFire 26 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.599 has been working to put out hotspots with water dropping helicopters. 27 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.560 Some people who live in wildfire zones have taken up 28 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.040 arms to protect their homes. Several residents tell KTLA they're 29 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.480 defying evacuation orders and are staying behind to protect their 30 00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.799 homes from looters and to watch for any embers that 31 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.840 may reignite. Prime Minister Benjamin Nett and Yahoo's office says 32 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.640 Hamas is backing out of some of its agreements, putting 33 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.159 the hostage release deal in Jeopardymas and Israel agreed to 34 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.799 a ceasefire yesterday, but the Prime Minister's office is Amas 35 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.840 is renigging on parts of it. If approved, it would 36 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.280 go into effect on Sunday. We're going to get the 37 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:13.479 latest on the peace deal, the ceasefire, the hostage released 38 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.360 with ABC's Giordonna Miller in Jerusalem. That's coming up at 39 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.719 five twenty. Also, I'm going out and about to Dream 40 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.719 Center LA, where they are dealing with the nightmare of 41 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.319 the fires and bringing hope to the thousands who lost everything. 42 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.120 It is something you've got to hear and got to see, 43 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:31.680 and it's coming up at five to thirty five, let's 44 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.280 get started with some of the stories coming out of 45 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.800 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Red flag warnings for 46 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.800 critical fire danger have expired in much of the LA area, 47 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.080 though a warning will remain in effect until three this 48 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.159 afternoon in the western San Gabriel Mountains, the Santa Susannas, 49 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.840 and the five and fourteen freeway corridors. The National Weather 50 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.520 Service says the region will see a significant cooling trend 51 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.840 through the weekend, but meteorologist Todd Hall tells KFI more 52 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.000 strong winds are expected early next week. 53 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.000 I would give it about a sixty percent chance at 54 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.360 this point of us seeing Santa Ana wentz again across 55 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.240 southern California. At this point, it looks like it's going 56 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:11.199 to be more of a western Los Angeles County eastern 57 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.680 Ventura County type event. The sun most similar to what 58 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:15.680 we saw yesterday. 59 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.879 He says, we will very likely see critical fire weather 60 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:23.680 conditions between Monday and Wednesday. A hillside home that survived 61 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.639 the fire and Pacific Palisite Palisades has been destroyed in 62 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:28.479 a mud slide. 63 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.280 The home overlooking the Pacific Ocean is split in half 64 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.360 and surrounded by mud and debris. It's unclear exactly when 65 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.439 this happened, but it will likely be added to the 66 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.919 total number of structures destroyed as a result of the 67 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:39.800 Palisades fire. 68 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.439 Kay if i's Daniel Martindale says thousands of homes and 69 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.000 other buildings have been destroyed or damaged in the fire, 70 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.360 including one on the hillside just above the one destroyed 71 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.759 in the side. More than eighty thousand people in La 72 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.599 County remain under evacuation orders because of the fires and 73 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.000 Pacific Palisades and Eaton Canyon above Altadena. Some evacuation orders 74 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.840 have been lifted on the outskirts of the Eton Fire 75 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.080 burn area as that fire is forty five percent surrounded. 76 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.759 The La County Medical Examiner's office has reported sixteen deaths 77 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.199 in the area around Pacific Palisades. At least nine deaths 78 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:16.040 have been reported that fire is twenty one percent surrounded. 79 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.680 People in the Altadena and Pacific Palisades wildfire areas have 80 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.839 been banned from removing debris. 81 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.680 LA County Health Officer doctor Muntu Davis issued a hazardous 82 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.279 materials inspection that needs to be completed first According to 83 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.079 the Public Health Department, that inspection issued on Tuesday includes 84 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.920 fire debris, ash and dirt from burned down homes and 85 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.199 businesses that might contain asbestos, metals, and other toxic substances. 86 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.319 The inspection order will also help determine the fire debris 87 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.439 clean up process required in burn areas from the Kenneth, 88 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:52.120 Creek Hurst, and Lydia fires as well. Andrew Caravella KFI. 89 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:57.199 News the leaves around LA may start filing up. LA 90 00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.639 County has temporarily banned the use of all lea flowers. 91 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.040 The Department of Public Health says it's to reduce health 92 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:07.199 risks from breathing in wildfire ash and smoke. It's not 93 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.240 clear how long the band will be in place. People 94 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.800 who lost their homes in the fires can apply for 95 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.279 a hotel voucher to stay free at Hilton hotels for 96 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.720 up to seven nights. Hilton, American Express and two one 97 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.759 one LA announced plans yesterday to provide the vouchers, making 98 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.279 twenty thousand hotel room nights available. People who have already 99 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.480 applied through two to one one LA do not need 100 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.720 to fill out another application. Let's see how the roads 101 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:35.439 are filling out. 102 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.199 Take a first look at your morning commute. 103 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.639 We've got Will Cole Schreiber with us, and we've got 104 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.800 a crash in Curritos on the ninety one. 105 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:43.240 Good morning, well, good. 106 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.279 Morning, Yeah, kind of a bad start there in Cerrito's 107 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.879 ninety one eastbound right there at Bloomfield, a crash there 108 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.399 and we had reports that was on the right shoulder, 109 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.279 but the latest says all lanes are blocked, So keep 110 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.920 an eye on that eastbound ninety one at Bloomfield, the 111 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:57.720 south bend side of the five at the two ten, 112 00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:58.839 just before the two ten. 113 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.639 A camp shell in the carpoolane. You don't want to 114 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:02.560 hit that. Be careful. 115 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.399 Also in downtown La, the one to one northbound right 116 00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.120 around First Street, we've got reports of a fire on 117 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.000 the side of the roadway and another fire in poent A. 118 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.319 It's going to be the westbound side of the ten 119 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.240 in law Pointe at Pointe westbound ten, they're fire there 120 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.199 on the right shoulder getting some attention, So watch out 121 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.000 for that. With Southern California's most accurate traffic reports and 122 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:23.399 Will Cole Schreiber. 123 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.360 As you know, a lot of people stepping up to 124 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.120 help out with the wildfire relief and as you know, 125 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:35.279 we have thousands of extra firefighters here in Southern California 126 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.720 and they're working their tails off to get these fires 127 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.480 under control and doing an amazing job. And several restaurants 128 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.319 around the area have been giving first responders free meals. 129 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.639 One of those is Ono Hawaiian Barbecue. It's scheduled to 130 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.759 be just through today and I love me some Hawaiian barbecue, 131 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:59.040 but they're doing free meals for first responders. 132 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.480 You can go in there, and. 133 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.000 It's in most of their locations in West La Alhambra, Pasadena, 134 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.879 South Pass, Glendora, upland, Mission Hills, Van Uy's, Silmar, Culver City. 135 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.720 Thanks Ono Hawaiian Barbecue, and thanks to all the restaurants 136 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.199 who've been stepping up to help the first responders who 137 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.560 are really not only putting their lives on the line, 138 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.160 but also working to save Southern California, which we desperately need. 139 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.839 Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers. 140 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.079 Karen. President Biden bid farewell last night. 141 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.800 Yeah, it was a surprising speech from the President. You know, 142 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.240 he reflected back on his four years in office what 143 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.360 he sees those whose key accomplishments. It was another chance 144 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.519 for him to try and convince Americans of his legacy, 145 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.480 but he acknowledged that much of what they consider to 146 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:50.120 be their signature achievement, the infrastructure legislation, the chips manufacturing. 147 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.120 Bringing back to the US investment in climate action, he said, 148 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.360 it's going to take time to see effects if the 149 00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.040 seeds are planted, as you put it, and they will grow. 150 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.319 But it was of an acknowledgment from. 151 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.839 The President that they didn't get credit for things that 152 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.639 they feel they deserve to get credit for. So he 153 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.480 tried to convince people last night of it on the 154 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.199 way out the door. But it was also surprising because 155 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.879 he gave a warning about what he says concerned him 156 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.360 about the future. And it's surprising because he is somebody 157 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.639 who always talks so optimistic about the United States and 158 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.600 what he feels is coming. But last night he warned 159 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.560 about a tech industrial complex, echoing Dwight Eisenhower back in 160 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.639 nineteen sixty one from his own farewell address with the 161 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.519 military industrial complex, the President said that there's a dangerous 162 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.799 concentration of power in the hands of a very few 163 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.600 ultra wealthy people, and that there are dangerous consequences if 164 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.759 their abuse of power is left unchecked, and he talked 165 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.200 about an oligarchy that he says is taking shape in 166 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.879 America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens 167 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:54.240 our entire democracy. 168 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:55.720 Okay, and who's he talking about. 169 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:58.679 I think you can imagine it's talking about some of 170 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.000 the tech CEOs and some of just the wealthiest Americans 171 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:05.320 right now. But certainly it's notable given the fact that 172 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.399 you see Elon Musk so tied Donald Trump right now 173 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.919 and having a role in the incoming administration. Mark Zuckerberg, 174 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:14.879 Jeff Bezos and others who are going to be apt 175 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.639 the inauguration last week invited to be there. This CEO 176 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.480 of TikTok is also confirmed to becoming. You know, the 177 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.519 President didn't call it any of these people by name, 178 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:25.759 but I think that that's who the message was aimed at, 179 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.279 and his concerns about what this means when you have 180 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.879 this wealthy Americans with so much power and then also 181 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.879 tied to so closely to an administration and government like that. 182 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.960 Haven't the wealthy always had so much power, It's just 183 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.120 that these ones are right front and center. 184 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.559 He talked about, you know, kind of referencing like the 185 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.000 robber barons of yesteryear. But you know, I think the 186 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:53.120 difference he is saying now is these platforms, especially the 187 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:57.360 social media platforms, having so much power, and that unchecked power. 188 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.320 He was calling out the social media company needs and 189 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.720 the dangers of misinformation and the concerns about a lack 190 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.960 of fact checking. He said, on these platforms, truth is 191 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.559 smothered by lies sold for power and for profit. 192 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.080 And as you were mentioning, this address seems kind of 193 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.000 depressing and ominous. 194 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:18.440 Is that typical? 195 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.960 Aren't the farewell addresses usually pretty much more sunshine and joy. 196 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:25.919 I think it's a mix. I think it depends on, 197 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.440 you know, what message you're trying to send. 198 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.000 Sometimes, you know, you have that. 199 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.240 Like reflective look back, but also you know, we've seen 200 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:35.240 other presidents do a similar you know, here's what I'm 201 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.519 concerned about, you know, make sure this doesn't happen, or 202 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.200 here's the fight that needs to continue. I think by 203 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.840 the end, for the president, the rallying cry was optimistic. 204 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:48.200 He was pushing and urging Americans to stay engaged because 205 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:51.159 it's your turn to stand guard, keeps the faith. And 206 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.399 he finished by saying something we've heard him say many 207 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.600 times over his four years in the White House end 208 00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.559 a fifty plus year career in public service. He said, 209 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:00.600 I love America. 210 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.720 You love it too, and that's the important part. 211 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.840 Okay, ABC's Karen Travis, thank you so much. We'll be 212 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.120 talking to you again soon because I think things are 213 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.240 about to get really excited in your neck of the woods. 214 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:12.000 Exciting. 215 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.600 We'll be a little busy, I think absolutely. 216 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:15.240 Thanks so much. 217 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:17.480 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 218 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:20.039 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A woman in 219 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.559 Pasadena says she just paid off her home the day 220 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.919 before she lost it in the fire that started in 221 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:25.879 Eaton Canyon. 222 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.559 We evacuated not knowing that our house was going to 223 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.279 be on fire, but came back to ruins is gone. 224 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.240 Sixty four year old Tutras Beasley tells KTLA she and 225 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.320 her son are now looking for a new place to live, 226 00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.320 but they're dealing with price gouging landlords. 227 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.840 I've been quoted maybe five thousand. Some of my friends 228 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.639 have talked to people and they said six thousand plus, 229 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.159 and then one girl told me somebody was charging eight 230 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:52.080 thousand a month. 231 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.919 Landlords are not allowed to raise rents by more than 232 00:11:55.960 --> 00:12:00.279 ten percent above previously advertised rates while La County is 233 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:04.000 under a state of emergency. FEMA says donations received through 234 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:07.559 crowdsourcing like gofund me can affect how much aid a 235 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.200 person gets from the federal government. FEMA only covers losses 236 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.960 not covered by something else. The agency says, by law, 237 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:18.679 it cannot duplicate benefits. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who 238 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.679 says a last minute crisis with Hamas is holding up 239 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:27.200 Israel's approval of the just announced ceasefire. Netanyahu began signaling 240 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.399 issues with the deal hours after President Biden and key 241 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:35.159 mediator Qatar announced it was complete. Netanyas, whose office says 242 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.600 his cabinet will not meet to approve the deal until 243 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.120 Hamas backs down. He accused the terrorist group of reneging 244 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.799 on parts of the agreement in an attempt to gain 245 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:47.279 further concessions. The deal announced yesterday would see dozens of 246 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.559 hostages held in Gaza released and a pause in fighting 247 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.000 in the fifteen month war. We're going to be talking 248 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.840 more with Jordana Miller in Jerusalem to find out more 249 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.159 about the wrinkle and whether it can be ironed out 250 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.000 to that fe ceasefire can move forward. That's coming up. 251 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:06.000 In about nine minutes. President Biden has delivered his farewell 252 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:07.519 address from the Oval Office. 253 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.480 I'm so proud of how much we've accomplished together for 254 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:11.440 the American people. 255 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:16.000 Biden warned that an oligarchy of the ultra wealthy is 256 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.159 taking shape in America and said Americans should be on 257 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:23.120 guard for their freedoms and institutions during a turbulent era 258 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:27.360 of rapid technological and economic change. He also spoke yesterday 259 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:30.000 about the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. 260 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.600 This plan was developed and negotiated by my team and 261 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.799 will be largely implemented by the incoming administration. That's why 262 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.240 I told my team to keep the incoming administration fully informed, 263 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.720 because that's how it should be working together as Americans. 264 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:48.519 Biden's farewell speech comes five days before he leaves office. 265 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.399 One of the four former Minneapolis police officers convicted in 266 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.919 the murder of George Floyd has been released from prison. 267 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.919 Jay Alexander King was released yesterday morning from a low 268 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:04.279 security federal prison in Ohio. Another of the convicted officers 269 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:08.279 was released from federal prison last summer. Poultry and dairy 270 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.759 cattle will be missing from county fairs. In California, the 271 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.399 state Department of Food and Agriculture has imposed a ban, 272 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:19.360 effective indefinitely. The state veterinarian says it is a necessary 273 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.159 step to stop the spread of bird flu. There have 274 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.039 been dozens of cases at dairy farms across California, and 275 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:29.679 Governor Newsom has declared a state of emergency. Film production 276 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.799 in and around LA has dropped to its lowest level 277 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.960 since the first year of the pandemic. Film LA says 278 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.919 overall production is down, even though production did increase six 279 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.399 percent in the last few months of twenty twenty four. 280 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:46.279 Officials say they are optimistic about twenty twenty five because 281 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.840 of a three hundred and thirty to seven hundred and 282 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:53.919 fifty million dollars per year film tax credit program. Comic 283 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:57.840 Con is staying in San Diego. Mayor Todd Gloria says 284 00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.559 there was a debate about the convention stay due to 285 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.519 San Diego's perceived lack of affordability. Last year, more than 286 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:08.000 one hundred and thirty thousand people attending the convention generated 287 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.600 more than one hundred and sixty million dollars for San Diego. 288 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.120 Comicon twenty five is scheduled to happen July twenty fourth 289 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.840 through the twenty seventh. You know, everyone's stepping up to 290 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.039 help during this time. And I got the nicest message 291 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.200 on Instagram from. 292 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.799 Sandy who said, Hey, Amy, I'm a so. 293 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:34.559 Cal Native transported or transported transplanted to Louisville, Kentucky. 294 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.200 She says she listens to wake up call. 295 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.720 Thank you Sandy, and also the bill Handles showed daily 296 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.320 on the iHeartRadio app. 297 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:42.720 She says, love your show. 298 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:46.000 Wanted to let you know that Parlor Pizza in Louisville 299 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:51.200 is holding a fundraiser around their seven locations and they're 300 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:55.480 raising money for Pasadena Humane. He says they love animals, 301 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.960 wanted to help. Twenty five percent of all restaurant meals 302 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:01.120 are being donated. Wanted to let you know that even 303 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.720 all the way across the country, people want to help. 304 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:06.240 Thank you, Sandy. Isn't that awesome? 305 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:06.720 Nice? 306 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.200 Of course, Pasadena Humane is taken in like it's. At 307 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:14.039 last count, it was over four hundred animals tied to 308 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:19.919 the evacuations in the Eaten fire zone, and they're helping 309 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.200 them all. They're taking them in, they're treating them. Some 310 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.000 of them have been injured, and they did say we 311 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:29.080 talked to Kevin McManus. He says, for right now, they 312 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.840 have enough supplies, they're good to go. They've gotten so 313 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.120 many donations because you guys have been so generous, but 314 00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:38.399 they said they do need monetary donations because, as I mentioned, 315 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:40.480 a lot of these animals are coming in, they've had 316 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:44.039 smoke inhalation, they've got their little paws burned, that kind 317 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.159 of thing, and they need they need emergency surgeries and treatments. 318 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.120 And so if you can donate, Pasadena Humane would of 319 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.639 course appreciate that. And that's a Pasadena Humane dot Org. 320 00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.600 I believe a man's been arrested for allegedly starting a 321 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.399 fire and Sam Bernardino. The fire started yesterday afternoon threatens mahomes. 322 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.440 Firefighters were able to stop it at thirty four acres 323 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.480 in about an hour and a half. A hillside home 324 00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.119 that survived the fire and Pacific Palisades has been destroyed 325 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:13.519 after what appears to be a mud slide behind the property. 326 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.240 The home, overlooking the Pacific Ocean has been split in 327 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.720 half and is surrounded by mud and debris. More of 328 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:22.799 President elect Trump's cabinet picks will be on Capitol Hill today. 329 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.119 A Senate confirmation hearings continue. We're going to be talking 330 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.759 more about how things went yesterday and what to expect 331 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:31.160 today with Stephen Portnoy from ABC. That's coming up at 332 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:33.079 five point fifty. Right now, we want to do a 333 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:35.599 quick check with Todd Hall with the National Weather Service 334 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:39.960 because our red flag warnings for the most part have expired, 335 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.000 but we still have a few hangars on. 336 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:46.359 Yeah, we just have a few. We just have a 337 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:50.319 few areas that are in red flag still and that's 338 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.839 mainly the Sennasusana Mountains and up into the La Kenny Mountains. 339 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.039 That's all that's remaining. Generally, winds are about fifteen to 340 00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.759 twenty miles prior, much less than yesterday, much weaker, and 341 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.599 we're looking at those continued resplay conditions. We still have 342 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.039 a lot of dry conditions in place out there, so 343 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.640 and dry vegetation and dryer mass in place.

Kfi's Daniel Martindale says Stephen Powell 384 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:06.559 told the La Times wins typically would have to be 385 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.480 sixty to eighty miles per hour for the company to 386 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:13.279 consider the de energization of transmission lines. 387 00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:15.799 He says the readings Edison saw were lower than that, 388 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:19.160 adding that data showed no abnormalities in the area.
