accused of setting a fire in the Pacific Palisades on
New Year's Eve that erupted a week later into the
deadly Palisades fire, is expected to ask a federal judge
today to be released from custody while he awaits trial.
(01:40):
Jonathan Rindernecked pleaded not guilty to federal charges in connection
with fire last month. The federal government has sued the
state of California over its recently adopted ban on law
enforcement officers wearing masks and a requirement for them to
display their names on uniforms. The law was passed in
response to immigration raids. Ice age and so often wears asks.
(02:00):
The Feds say the law in dangers immigration agents and
opens them to harassment. The UN has voted to support
President Trump's peace plan for Gaza. ABC's Jordana Miller is
going to join us from Jerusalem to catch us up
on where we are in that peace process. The House
is said to vote today on whether to release all
the Jeffrey Epstein files. ABC's Christian Cordero joins us to
(02:25):
talk about what the vote does and whether we really
are going to get everything that's been kept under wrap
for years.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
That's at five p twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
And do you know, of course, you know that you
can have almost everything delivered to your door these days,
but did you know you can get cash delivered? The
host of How the Money on KFI, Joel Larsguard's going
to join us with more on that at five point fifty. Also,
are we going to be getting some relief at grocery stores?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
We'll find out.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Okay, and you think you had a bad day, well
I'm going to tell you about the Cleveland Brown's rookie
quarterback who has a terrible, no good, very bad day.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
That's coming up on wake up Call.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Three kids are
among eight people hurt in an explosion at a home
in Chino Hills. There in the hospital, nambor Steve Lau
says he witnessed the fiery explosion on Sunday and tells
KTLA the aftermath was pretty chaotic.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
On One of the teenagers was burn on the here,
so you could see her hair like stick together.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Some of those hurt have second and third degree burns,
but everyone's expected to survive. Utility crews are still working
on the gas line that reportedly caused the explosion. News
brought to you by Sit and Sleep. Another lawsuit has
been filed over the Eton fire, which destroyed much of Altadena.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Elly Fire Justice has filed suit against Genesis, La County's
contractor tasked with sending out emergency alert messages. Attorney Michael
Watts as the company failed on January seventh when it
left down a significant part of Altadena.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Whatever Los Angeles County is paying for this evacuation warning
system is a dollar taken from the taxpayers of Los
Angeles County for no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
He says. Genesis issued evacuation orders for an area east
of Lake Avenue, but left out the west side of
the street. That's where eighteen of the nineteen fatalities happened.
Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
A man charged with using two knives to stab a
woman on a metro train in Studio City has been
found guilty of first degree murder and robbery. Took the
jury about an hour yesterday to come back with the verdict.
The woman killed last year was on her way home
from work when she was attacked. The murder was caught
on security video. The convicted killer, Elliott Nauden, is facing
(04:38):
life in prison without parole.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
He'll be sentenced next month. The Tap to Exit.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Program has returned to La Metro stations after it was
put on pause. LA Fire Department had expressed concerns about
crowd safety and emergencies. Metro spokesman Patrick Chandler says the
program is a successful crime deterrent against people who don't
pay to ride the train.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
We take it on and they do things that aren't
related to just going to work, going home, going to
school or training or whatever. They have to use the
system for what it's attended for, and that's respectation.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Chandler says nearly every crime committed on the La Metro
system involves a passenger who did not pay to board.
The Tap to Exit program is operational at stations in
North Hollywood, Santa Monica, Pomona, and at Union Station. Let's
say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem, Jordana.
The UN Security Council has approved a resolution supporting President
(05:32):
Trump's twenty point piece plan for Gaza. What's in it
and did anyone not support it?
Speaker 8 (05:41):
Well? Hamas did not support it, right, because this is
a plan that will eventually push Hamas out of military
and civil control of the Gaza strips. So they weren't
too thrilled about it.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
They're not in the UN though, all.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Right, they're not in the UN, okay, But they did
put out a statement rejecting the proposal inside the UN.
Russia and China, as we know, did not veto and
they abstained. That was their kind of protest against this.
But in general, it is a huge step forward and
(06:17):
a significant success for the Trump administration to move this
plan into a kind of UN resolution and the under
the framework of the UN. And that's important amy because
all of the countries here in the Middle East, right,
the Amortis, the Saudis, the Jordanians, the Egyptians, all of
(06:40):
the partners, the Arab partners that Trump is working with,
they cannot send troops to the International Stabilization Force, right,
the new Security Force. They can't just willy nilly send
them to Gaza, right. There needs to be a framework,
and they can do that under the framework of the
United Nation's Security Council. So this was a key step
(07:04):
to move the process forward. The Israeli Prime Minister put
out a statement. Israel's obviously also not in the UN
sc but they put out a statement endorsing the plan,
calling it, you know, first of all, thanking President Trump
and his team, but also saying it will endorse and
bring more stability to the region, to Gaza, and that
(07:28):
it will help Israel really extend its hand in peace
to other countries to expand the Abraham Accords. I will
say the Prime Minister skipped over saying anything about the
clause in that UN resolution that talks about a pathway
to Palestinian statehood. Right That's something that the Prime Minister
(07:52):
right now and his government are not thrilled over. Nonetheless,
we see it's not going to stop Israel from moving
forward and endorse President Trump's plan.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Okay, I was just going to ask you, was there
talk or is there any language in there about it
Palestinian statehood?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I mean, could could.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
They move forward well most of the plan and maybe
not do all twenty points of it or is it
an all or nothing to Yal?
Speaker 8 (08:20):
I think they're going to move forward on the points
that they can, and remember the pathway to Palestinian statehood
is conditioned on the Palestinian authority undergoing reforms. Right, it
is a you know, it's a very problematic I would say,
governing body right now. Right, there's a lot of corruption,
(08:41):
there's a lot of nepotism. The Palestinian Authority has not
held elections in more than a decade, coming on two
decades actually, and it's leader, the Palestinian President, he's in
his eighties, he's ailing, he is deeply unpopular. Right, So
the pal the Authority has to do a lot of housekeeping,
(09:03):
clean up the way that they're running the West Bank,
and then I think there really could be a role
for them in Gaza, and ultimately they could lead a
new round of peace talks with Israel that would finally
bring them a Palestinian state. All of that's going to
take some time, right, and.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
That's what I was going to say. This is going
to be probably years.
Speaker 8 (09:28):
Yeah, this is this is a this is a ten
year plan, right.
Speaker 9 (09:33):
For sure.
Speaker 8 (09:34):
And I think that's why even though Prime Minister Benjamin
Antennelle and his government reject right now a Palestinian state,
there's there are a lot of other priorities for the
United States and Israel before they get to that point.
And by the time they reach that point, you know,
I'm not sure Antennel is going to be in power, right.
(09:55):
I mean, he may not even win the next election
in a year, so I think, you know, it grabs headlines,
but in the context of what's happening, it's really it
falls down on the list of what's important right.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Now, okay, And what's important right now is that we
took a good step forward yesterday in the un So
thank you so much for the update.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Jured on a Millarley. All right, we'll talk to you
again soon.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. President Trump says
he knows affordability and the economy are important. He made
the remarks last night at the McDonald's Impact Summit. Trump
praised the economy and the fast food giant.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
Before the sun rises, you're observing hot coffee to construction workers, nurses,
and police officers.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
In the evening, you.
Speaker 10 (10:40):
Stand ready with the fast dinner and smile for busy
moms and their children.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
And the hot coffee.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Trump told owners, operators, and suppliers of McDonald's that his
administration is making progress in bringing down inflation, but more
work needs to be done. The ruler of Saudi Arabia
is going to visit the White House today. ABC's Lucian
Bruggermann says President Trump's family does a lot of personal
business in that country.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
The Trump Organization has in recent years embarked on several
development projects in Saudi Arabia, including luxury apartment complex in
multiple cities.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Critics a the president's knack for mixing diplomacy with dealmaking
presents the appearance of a conflict of interest, to claim
the White House has repeatedly denied. A judge in Tennessee
has blocked President Trump's use of National Guard troops in Memphis,
but has put an order on hold, which gives the
government time to appeal. A federal judge has scolded the
(11:36):
Justice Department for what he called profound investigative missteps in
the case against former FBI Director James Comey. The judge
yesterday said those problems include fundamental missteps of the law
by a prosecutor to the grand jury that indicted Comy
in September. The judge ordered the Justice Department to provide
Comy's lawyers with all grand jury materials. A new study
(11:59):
shows pregnant when in the US face rising danger from
gun violence.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
The study, published by JAMA Network Open, reviewed thousands of
homicides across the nation. The review spanned twenty eighteen to
twenty twenty one and found that pregnant women had a
thirty seven percent higher risk of being killed with a
firearm than non pregnant women. It also showed over two
thirds of all pregnancy related homicide deaths involved guns. For
every one percent increase in firearm ownership, states saw a
(12:23):
six percent rise in overall homicide and an eight percent
increase in firearm specific homicide among pregnant women. Mark Ronner
KFI News.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Jesse Jackson's been transferred out of the ICU after he
was treated for a neurological disorder he's been dealing with
for years. Medical officials say Jackson remains in stable condition
and will continue receiving care at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
His family thinked the medical team, as well as those
who have prayed for him.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
He's been in the hospital since last week.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
More than half of consumers say they're not going to
make any changes to Thanksgiving this year in spite of
higher prices.
Speaker 11 (12:59):
According to Butterballs Annual Thanksgiving outlook. The survey found eighty
nine percent of consumers plan to celebrate the holiday and
eighty four percent will do so with the turkey. Consumers
express concern about inflation, but most said they would not
compromise when it comes to Thanksgiving. Some did say they
would do things like change non food items such as
(13:20):
paper goods and decor, or ask guests to bring part
of the meal to help control costs depor mark kif.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I news A couple of notes there.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I like a good pot luck pot luck Thanksgiving is great, Yes,
and only eighty four percent are doing turkey. Maybe that's
factoring in all the vegetarians or something, because it's not
Thanksgiving without turkey in my humble opinion.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Like Ham, I guess.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Ham for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
I've seen it.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Ham's for Easter. I thought I thought so too.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Hi. A massive tree has fallen over at an apartment
complex in Thousand Oaks, displacing eighteen people who lived there.
The tree crashed down on two buildings. Yes, officials say
the soaked ground made the ground and the roots unstable.
It's one of several trees that have fallen on homes
and cars over the past several days. The mother of
late Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs, is expected back on the
(14:12):
witness stand today. Shean Skag's widow, testified in their wrongful
death lawsuit against the Angels yesterday that they knew Skaggs
had a history of drug abuse, but didn't know he
was still struggling with opioids. Skags died of an overdose
on a road trip in Texas in twenty nineteen. More
than forty thousand University of California employees are going to
be walking picket lines again today instead of working, as
(14:34):
a two day strike continues at eighteen u SE campuses
and medical facilities. At six O five's handle on the
news the US planning to sell F thirty five fighter
jets to Saudi Arabia. Let's say good morning to ABC's
Christian Cordero. Christian Big vote today on releasing the Jeffrey
Epstein files.
Speaker 12 (14:55):
Yes, in fact, Amy, good morning to you. This boat
is scheduled to happened sometime today in the House. Its
exact timing is pretty fluid, but likely sometime this afternoon,
and we'll see it. Seems like it has enough support
to make its way.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
To the Senate.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Okay, and it's expected to get bipartisan support, like not
just one or two votes, Is that correct?
Speaker 12 (15:18):
That's right, And it needs bipartisan support, a pretty overwhelming
number of it in order to pass. So if every
Democrat voted in favor of this bill, then it would
also need seventy five Republicans. And that's just based on
rules that the House set in order for it to
meet a super majority.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Okay, and what's the importance of the super majority on
this one?
Speaker 12 (15:37):
It's yeah, there's always, you know, certain rules that are
up for debate. This was one of them. Another one
is that there's forty minutes allotted for debate time ahead
of the vote, twenty minutes divided evenly on each side.
So that was something that you know, they came to
consensus on. And part of it very well could be
that this has been such a contentious issue over the
(15:58):
past several months. Sometimes when you know, you see stuff
like that, then it's important, or you know, Congress is
as important anyways to have some overwhelming support. But this
certainly seems to be one of those examples that does
in the House. And but when it makes its way
to the Senate, if it does, it faces a much
less certain future.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Okay, So let's talk about that just a little bit Christian.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
So when it gets over to the Senate, does it
have to get that sixty vote threshold or would it
just need a simple majority to pass?
Speaker 12 (16:29):
It depends on what you know, the majority comes up
with as far as the vote that it would lay down.
But we're not even really there yet. Majority Leader Johnson
hasn't committed to giving it a vote at all. Of course,
that could change, and it's it's easy to imagine how
it probably would change given the pressure he would face
if this passes through the House by an overwhelming majority,
(16:51):
and then, as we know, the President himself has indicated
he would sign it, So there would be pressure coming
from both sides if this landed in the Senate without
a clear indication of its future.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Okay, And is everybody sort of scrambling on this Christian
just because we know that we got the two hundred
and eighteenth signature to do that, the discharge petition right
to force the vote on the House. But it also
changed when Trump came out over the weekend and said, yeah,
let's release him. Does that kind of put more pressure
(17:25):
or does like I said, does everybody kind of scrambling
to get this done.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Now.
Speaker 12 (17:29):
Yeah, it's been really fascinating to see the change of tone,
you know, between the President and then House Speaker Mike
Johnson as well, who you know, he quoted the petition
and effectively was like, this is a moot point after
he was pushing back on it for many, many weeks
and months. So he said, you know, it's the mood
point is going to the House floor, and that'll be
that when it comes to the president. What's interesting is
(17:50):
the President doesn't actually need congressional approval or an Act
of Congress to release the Epstein files. He can force
the DOJ to do that on his own, and he
has used his executive powers in that way many times
throughout this administration so far. He says that he's letting
it go through Congress for an act of transparency, and
(18:12):
so that's exactly what we're seeing play out right now.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Okay, well, we'll see if they transparently pass this bill today.
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Yes, we will.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Thank you, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Christian Cora Cordero with ABC News lovely to talk to
her as always. The parents of a twelve year old
boy and a thirteen year old girl found decapitated at
a home in Lancaster have been convicted of murder and
child abuse. The children were killed in twenty twenty. Prosecutors
argued that Maurice Taylor Sr. And Natalie Brothwell forced their
(18:42):
younger sons, who were eight and nine years old, to
look at their siblings' bodies and to stay in their
bedrooms for several days without food. The parents are facing
life prison terms without the possibility of parole. God, I
hate this story. That is just horrible. A would be
pimp has been sentenced to prison in La.
Speaker 13 (19:02):
Famian Gilbert is getting sixteen months in state prison after
pleading no contest to pimping charges. Earlier this month, the
twenty one year old was convicted of trying to coerce
women into sex work along the Figure Royal Corridor. He's
also been sentenced to an additional three years in prison
for an unrelated carjacking. The prison sentences are to be
served consecutively, so he's getting over four.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Years in total.

Mark Mayfield Kofive News.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
A twenty seven year old man's been charged with raping
a woman and trying to rape another woman in Anaheim,
a forty two year old homeless man was initially charged
with the crimes, but those charges were dismissed at the
end of October, and then police charged James Mitchell the
third on Friday for attacking a woman outside her apartment.
A second woman attacked was able to escape when two
(19:48):
homeless men intervened. The federal government has sued the state
of California over its recently adopted ban on law enforcement
officers wearing masks and a requirement for them to display
their names on UNI. Law was passed in response to
immigration raids around southern California. Ice agents often wear masks.
The Fed say the law endangers immigration agents and opens
(20:10):
them up to harassment. LA County Fire Urban Search and
rescue teams have rescued a man from the San Gabriel
River in Almonte. The man was trapped in the rain
filled riverbed last night. Firefighter and full gear tried to
swim across the river to the guy, but then had
to turn around. The man was airlifted out by helicopter
and taken to the hospital to be checked out. Fire
(20:32):
crews are staying busy in the rain.
Speaker 14 (20:34):
The storms are soaking California, but that's not the only
threat facing the state.
Speaker 15 (20:38):
As we speak, there's one thousand plus acre fire that's
threatening structures, and at the same time there's a risk
of urban and small stream flooding mudslides at the exact
same time in the state.
Speaker 14 (20:50):
Robert Foxworthy with CalFire says even with the rain, the
so called fire season is not over. Currently, the packfire
in Mono County is burning brush near Mammoth Lake, but
it's nearly surrounded. Jason Campadonia KFI.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
News NFL legend Bernie Kozar has received a liver transplant.
The former quarterback says he's out and feeling good. Kozar
shared a video from his hospital bed. He said he's
ready to enjoy the rest of the week as well
as the rest of his life. Kozar spent most of
his NFL career with Cleveland Browns and ended it with
the Miami Dolphins. Airports nationwide are operating mostly normally again
(21:27):
after the FAA scrapped government shut down related flight reductions.
Flight Aware shows more than three hundred flights were still
delayed at LAX yesterday, just five were canceled. Triple A
says it expects about six point seven million people will
fly over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Eight people are still
in the hospital two days after a house they were
(21:47):
in exploded in Chino. Hill's neighbors who saw the explosions
say people inside were horribly burned. All are expected to survive.
The explosion Sunday could be felt up to a mile
away and left part of the house in pieces. The
weekend storm that moved through southern California was a doozy.
More than five point one inches of rain fell in
the Eton and Bridge fire burned scars. Just under six
(22:09):
inches of rain fell at the Cogswell Dam. In the
San Gabriel Mountains, Brown's Canyon and the Santa Susanna Mountains
got more than five point three inches in the valley.
The Pacoima Dam recorded four point nine inches of rain.
At six oh five, it's handled on the news. The
head of FEMA has been under fire and now he's well,
he's firing himself. He's out. Bill's going to have something
to say about that, okay. So imagine it's your first
(22:33):
day as a starting quarterback in the NFL. It's going
to be the day that you remember for the rest
of your life. It's going to be so great. Well,
Shudoor Sanders turned out to have a terrible, horrible, no good,
very bad day. He was one hundred and forty fourth
(22:54):
pick in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft. He made
his NFL debut in the second half of the game
on Sunday, replacing starter Dylan Gabriel, who got put on
concussion protocols. The game was at home, so that's fun too, right,
you're starting quarterback.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Well, I guess you're not starting quarterback, but you're the quarterback.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
And then they lost twenty three sixteen. Sanders completed just
four of sixteen passes. He threw an interception, He got
sacked twice. So as you're licking your wounds in your
head for home, you go home and there's cop cars
out in front of your house because your house got
broken into.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Fine, right, the stage just keeps getting better. Yeah, So.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
It's just one in a string of burglaries that have
happened over the last year or so. You know, Patrick Mahomes,
Travis Kelcey, their houses got broken into while they were
at games. So he became the lightest victim of that.
But it wasn't an all horrible, awful day because the
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said after the game, Sanders
will start next Sunday against the Raiders, and the Raiders
(24:06):
are so bad. Even if Sanders doe bad, they could
still win anyway. I just love that story. I'm just like,
oh my god, could it get any worse? Here's what's
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A
coalition of lawyers, insurance representatives, and residents known as La
Fire Justice has filed the lawsuit over the Eton fire.
(24:27):
It targets the company contracted by La County to send
out emergency alerts. Attorney Michael Watts says a lot of
residents in Altadinet never got evacuation warnings from Genesis during
the Eaton fire.
Speaker 16 (24:39):
There is no scientific basis for putting a GIT warning
no GIT warning line on a street other than you
were lazy and you didn't think about it and you
didn't do the right thing.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
He says.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Lake Avenue was used as a dividing line, with residents
on the east side being alerted and the west side
not getting any warnings. Eighteen of the nineteen people killed
in Eaten Fire were killed west of Lake Avenue. The
Walt Disney Companies pumping five million dollars into the redesign
and rebuilding of Charles White Park in Altadena. The park
(25:15):
was badly damaged in the fire in January. Disney imagineers
have been working to give a Disney touch to the
redesigned playground in Amphitheater. It's not known yet when the
park's going to open. California could soon be turning red.
Speaker 14 (25:30):
Recently, several polls have come out saying that California voters
like Republicans to be the state's next governor. Most political
analysts say that Democrats in the state face a crowded
primary and could split the votes so much so that
two Republicans may be facing off of the state's top
political job. California uses what's called a jungle primary system.
It's where all candidates run against each other and the
(25:52):
primary ticket, which is scheduled for June. The top two
candidates move on to the general election. Jason Campadonia KFI knew.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Stordash says hackers have gotten their hands on some phone
numbers and addresses that we're in its database, but the
online food ordering and delivery company insists that that type
of data is not sensitive because it doesn't include things
like social security numbers. They say the crooks got in
when an employee fell for a social engineering attack.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
It's a social engineering attack. I'll have to ask all
of those things they warn us about in those emails. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Time to get in your business now with Alexis Christopherus who's.

Good to be with you, guys, Good to be with you.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
So tell us about Home Depot and the issues that
they're digging themselves into and out of.
Speaker 17 (26:44):
Yeah, I mean, this is the third straight miss for
Home Depot when it's really seen as a bell weather
for the economy, right mean, we all sort of go
there to, you know, buy things to fix up the house,
maybe we need a new appliance. So when they're starting
to hurt, it's a signal that maybe we're just pulling
back on consumers spending. So Home Depot today cut its
full year earnings guidance and it's saying that there are
(27:05):
some customers who are just basically hitting the pause button
on buying those big ticket home purchases. They're blaming part
of it on the overall weakness. You know, we continue
to see in the housing market. And also there were
fewer storms.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Believe it or not.
Speaker 17 (27:18):
When there were fewer storms, it hurts home Depot's bottom
line because people don't need to rush out and buy
things to help recover, you know, from those storms. So
not a great kickoff for the big retail earnings that
we're going to be getting this week. We're going to
hear from Walmart and Target as well, So home Depot
the first big one. The news is not great. Stock
is down also, by the way, in futures market, down
(27:39):
about two percent right now.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Well, Alexis, I'm sorry for home Depot, but I'm happy
that there haven't been as many storms in massive destruction,
So you know, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I have a mixed bag. Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So US airlines apparently bracing for weaker travel over the
next two holidays, although TRIPAA is saying they're expecting over
Thanksgiving six point seven millillion people are gonna fly.
Speaker 17 (28:01):
Yeah, you're gonna have lots of company if you're flying,
But if you're looking at it compared to last year,
those numbers are down a little bit. Why we just
had this historic government shut down, eleven thousand flights were
canceled people don't have the patients. So you're seeing now
Thanksgiving travel at least by air down more than three
percent compared to a year ago. It's still a little early,
(28:22):
maybe for the Christmas travel, but bookings there are also
down nearly half a percent. So I think a lot
of folks are either saying, look, the economy looks uncertain,
I don't have the money to fly, and or I
don't have the patients to fly. With all of the
issues that we've been having at the airlines, I mean
the air traffic controllers. We know so many of our
airlines aren't staff the way they should be. They weren't
(28:42):
prior to the government shut down, and that just sort of,
you know, exacerbated the situation again. But I do have
good news. You know what, though, if you're taking to
the road, I got a little good news for gas
prices about where they were a year ago. So we'll
take the wins when we can get them. And if
you have to rent a car, prices are down fifteen
compared to a year ago.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Good because they really shot up in the last year
or two. They did.
Speaker 17 (29:05):
They did there was a huge demand as people were
staying closer to home. But yeah, so you can get
a little bit of a break there.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Okay, what are we expecting in the stocks today? Said?
The things are down to start. Yeah, it's looking ugly.
Speaker 17 (29:18):
Dow futures down nearly four hundred, NASTAQ futures off more
than one hundred.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
You know, this AI boom we.
Speaker 17 (29:24):
Keep talking about, Folks are concerned about overvaluations there, and
with good cause. So this week, actually tomorrow, we're going
to hear from a big giant in that area in Nvidia,
now the world's most you know, expensive company or valued company.
It's going to come out with earnings after the bell tomorrow,
and you know, investors are bracing to see what they
hear there, whether or not these AI valuations actually make sense.
(29:46):
So ahead of that report, we're seeing stocks lower. We're
seeing Bitcoin lower as well, now down below ninety thousand dollars.
So the selling is sort of broad based, you know,
across the board here.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Wasn't bitcoin up to like one hundred and twenty thousand
or something?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You are right, you are, Watfi, Yeah, Kona, our technical
director has a little piece of bitcoin, so he started
nodding right away when I'm sorry.
Speaker 17 (30:10):
Coch Yeah, it's down from those, but you know, very volatile,
and lots of folks feel they need to have at
least a little bit of crypto in the portfolio. So
you know, what goes up comes down and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
All right, Bloomberg's Alexis Christopher is helping us get in
our business like we do every day.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Thanks so much, Alexis, Thanks guys. All right.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
A fourth straight day of rain is in the forecast
for La County. There's a one hundred percent chance of
rain downtown La Long Beach, Pasadena, Burbanks and Gabriel and
by this evening, half to an inch of rain could fall,
with one to two inches expected in the foothills and mountains.
We'll get a break tomorrow before another store moves in Thursday.
The family of a woman who died in the Eton
fire has sued Southern California Edison and the company that
(30:49):
contracts with the county to send out evacuation orders. Relatives
of Stacey Darden accused Edison of sparking the fire and
Genesis of failing to issue evacuation orders to residence in Altadena.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
The homes of.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Two reality TV stars have been burglarized while they were
out of town promoting their show, Please say. The homes
of Sutton Strack and Kathy Hilton of the Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills were broken into within hours of each
other over the weekend while they were at a promotional
event in Las Vegas. Not clear if anything was taken.
We're just minutes away from a handle. On the news
this morning, what's your homeworth? Not as much as it
(31:26):
was I was going to tell you about that. Let's
say good morning now too, the host of How to
Money on KFI, It's Joel Larsgard.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
Morning, Joel, Good morning Amy.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Okay, so we've all heard of door dash, but how
about door cash?
Speaker 9 (31:41):
I mean, the news of the strange and weird, Like,
who thought this was going to be a thing, especially
as we're mind being to being more of a cashless society.
The fact that you can now get cash delivered to
your doorstep is this is the weirdest thing. It was
the news I was not expecting this week. But this
is a Robin Hood and Nitia and Robin Hood. They
(32:01):
just feel like the kind of company who's throwing noodles
against the wall to see what's going to stick. And
maybe this will be appealing to some of their customers.
I don't understand it necessarily myself why you might want
to get cash delivered to your doorstep. And the thing is,
too it's going to cost money, like seven dollars to
have money delivered to your doorsteps, so it's thick of this.
(32:22):
Instead of going to the ATM, which really I mean
there's like billions of ATMs on every street corner, instead
of going there, you can just have someone bring that
cash directly to you, and you can just pay more.
Although I will say ATMs are mostly are pretty expensive
these days unless you have a relationship with a bank
that eliminates fees, which I recommend. But yeah, it can
be really expensive to get money from an ATM as well.
(32:45):
But the fact that Robinhood is trying to make this
a thing is surprising.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Well, you know, people spend a lot of money getting
food delivered, so maybe they'll be willing to spend the
money to have cash delivered.
Speaker 9 (33:00):
Yeah, I mean maybe, I know.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I agree, I think it sounds ridiculous, but with people
being so used to having everything just dropped off between
Amazon and food and all of that stuff, maybe it's
part of what we're evolving.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
To I think it just points to another notch in
the belt of the convenience culture that we've all become
accustomed to. And I'm not against convenience, and I think
some conveniences are worth paying for and they're a lovely
part of living in the year twenty twenty five. But
(33:36):
then you almost this almost feels a convenience jumping the shark,
where it's just you know, we've gone to this next
level and you pay for convenience. And so I think
it's really important for people to pick and choose the
conveniences that matter to them. Like for the longest time,
I was against grocery delivery and I was just like,
I'm not going to pay for that. That's ridiculous. And
(33:56):
then you know, with three kids and stuff, life gets
pretty busy. And I was able to find some discounted
Instacart gift cards and I'm using same day through Costco,
and I was like, Okay, this feels like it's worth
it for me. But I'm really really reticent to bring
a new service that costs money into my life because
I know what's going to happen, and so I'm going
to get used to it and I'm going to get
(34:17):
used to paying for it, and I would prefer to
like be more skeptical of anybody claiming that they're going
to like make my life better convenience that costs me
a lot of money and just and it only take
these in sparingly, like expand your convenience lifestyle sparingly because
it costs.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Money, exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
We're just talking about that, like with the streaming services
with you and I have talked about before, and I
was just talking to my friend about like you get
them and then you forget about them, and so you
just keep on paying for them. And it isn't it convenient?
And isn't it nice to have even though it's costing
a fortune?
Speaker 9 (34:48):
Yep, yep. And if you need cash regularly, that's cool.
And I think we should probably be using cash more
as a society. I think there's something mentally that helps
us be better about spending when we're actually forking over
dollar bills. I mean, there are studies about that, like
what's happening in our brain when we tap a credit
card versus when we hand over cash. So definitely think
about using cash more in your day to day life,
(35:10):
but be with one of my favorite online banks that
has extensive atm networks where you can get your cash
for free or like Schwab. I'm pretty sure they still
reimburse all the ATMPs. They eat it for you on
your behalf. And so there are great banks out there
that don't charge any ATMPs. So at least consider that
(35:31):
if you are someone who likes to use cash.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Okay, and then here's another thing. Did you know that
Ralphs is now charging you for cash back?
Speaker 6 (35:39):
No?
Speaker 9 (35:39):
Yeah, so what's really charging?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I can't remember because I don't do it. I did
it once, I was like what and didn't really think
about it. So now I do it at my pavilions,
where I still don't. I don't think they're charging. But yeah,
they started like a year ago and just kind of went, oh, yeah,
that's like convenience fee or whatever they're calling it. But
there is a female and can get cash back to
the grocery store.
Speaker 7 (36:01):
That's really silly.
Speaker 9 (36:03):
That's so frustrating because that used to be the easiest
way to get a twenty bucks or something like that
when you're buying your groceries, and if they're going to
charge for that, that uh yeah, that's an annoying that's
annoying thing. I can't imagine that's a great customer service
or most people feel.
Speaker 7 (36:16):
Great about that.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, And speaking of grocery stores, apparently prices are going
to maybe start coming down.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
Boy, I hope so.
Speaker 9 (36:25):
And I mean this is something that I was pretty
pretty willing to discuss openly before, you know, the Berration
day was coming around, that tariffs are not a good thing,
that they are essentially attacked on the American shopper. And
yet you know, the President was really keen on terrafts.
He you know, said they were like the best word
in the in the English language. And what's happened since
(36:47):
then is like, you know, we haven't seen quite the
increase in prices that many had predicted. Although I was
talking to a friend the other day who works for
a really big water sports company, and he was saying, well,
we've been eating them for now. We can't do it forever.
And I think that's happening with a lot of companies.
There was inventory build up ahead of the terraffs, and
then there was a certain amount of like taking the
punch themselves instead of passing on to the consumers. Those
(37:10):
days are quickly ending, and so prices we are seeing
prices ratchet up. And the other thing is at the
grocery store in particular, some of the tariffs that were
levied were on items that we're not going to produce
and we can't really produce, like coffee, right, We don't
grow a lot of coffee in the United States of America.
Bananas pretty hard to grow bananas in Alaska. Right, So
(37:34):
we just saw prices climb significantly on those because of terrafs.
And now the President is realizing, well, affordability is the
thing that Americans care about, seemingly more than anything else,
and it's a political issue, and so he's quietly rolling
back some of those tariffs. So we might be seeing
price rollbacks on some of those things that we've got
used to seeing massive price increases.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Well, we'll be watching for it, because that would be
wonderful news. The host of on KFI is our very
own Joel Larsgar. You can hear him every Sunday from

Straight up.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It is Tuesday, November eighteenth. I'm Amy King. Thanks for
getting your day started with us. We're very happy here
at the KFI studios in Burbank because the elevators are
working today, so I didn't have to run up and downstairs.
I am not prepared for that kind of cardio this
early in the morning, So I hope your day is
(00:58):
starting out as good as our. Here's what's ahead on
wake up Call. A fourth straight day of rain is
in the forecast for La County. There's a one hundred
percent chance we'll see rain in downtown La Long Beach, Basadena, Burbank,
in San Gabriel at some point today. National Weather Services
there's a ninety percent chance of rain in the high Desert.
By this evening, rainfall of a half to an inch
(01:20):
of rain could be recorded, with one to two inches
expected in the foothills and mountains. The former Uber driver
accused of setting a fire in the Pacific Palisades on
New Year's Eve that erupted a week later into the
deadly Palisades fire, is expected to ask a federal judge
today to be released from custody while he awaits trial.
(01:40):
Jonathan Rindernecked pleaded not guilty to federal charges in connection
with fire last month. The federal government has sued the
state of California over its recently adopted ban on law
enforcement officers wearing masks and a requirement for them to
display their names on uniforms. The law was passed in
response to immigration raids. Ice age and so often wears asks.
(02:00):
The Feds say the law in dangers immigration agents and
opens them to harassment. The UN has voted to support
President Trump's peace plan for Gaza. ABC's Jordana Miller is
going to join us from Jerusalem to catch us up
on where we are in that peace process. The House
is said to vote today on whether to release all
the Jeffrey Epstein files. ABC's Christian Cordero joins us to
(02:25):
talk about what the vote does and whether we really
are going to get everything that's been kept under wrap
for years.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
That's at five p twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
And do you know, of course, you know that you
can have almost everything delivered to your door these days,
but did you know you can get cash delivered? The
host of How the Money on KFI, Joel Larsguard's going
to join us with more on that at five point fifty. Also,
are we going to be getting some relief at grocery stores?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
We'll find out.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Okay, and you think you had a bad day, well
I'm going to tell you about the Cleveland Brown's rookie
quarterback who has a terrible, no good, very bad day.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
That's coming up on wake up Call.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Three kids are
among eight people hurt in an explosion at a home
in Chino Hills. There in the hospital, nambor Steve Lau
says he witnessed the fiery explosion on Sunday and tells
KTLA the aftermath was pretty chaotic.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
On One of the teenagers was burn on the here,
so you could see her hair like stick together.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Some of those hurt have second and third degree burns,
but everyone's expected to survive. Utility crews are still working
on the gas line that reportedly caused the explosion. News
brought to you by Sit and Sleep. Another lawsuit has
been filed over the Eton fire, which destroyed much of Altadena.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Elly Fire Justice has filed suit against Genesis, La County's
contractor tasked with sending out emergency alert messages. Attorney Michael
Watts as the company failed on January seventh when it
left down a significant part of Altadena.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Whatever Los Angeles County is paying for this evacuation warning
system is a dollar taken from the taxpayers of Los
Angeles County for no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
He says. Genesis issued evacuation orders for an area east
of Lake Avenue, but left out the west side of
the street. That's where eighteen of the nineteen fatalities happened.
Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
A man charged with using two knives to stab a
woman on a metro train in Studio City has been
found guilty of first degree murder and robbery. Took the
jury about an hour yesterday to come back with the verdict.
The woman killed last year was on her way home
from work when she was attacked. The murder was caught
on security video. The convicted killer, Elliott Nauden, is facing
(04:38):
life in prison without parole.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
He'll be sentenced next month. The Tap to Exit.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Program has returned to La Metro stations after it was
put on pause. LA Fire Department had expressed concerns about
crowd safety and emergencies. Metro spokesman Patrick Chandler says the
program is a successful crime deterrent against people who don't
pay to ride the train.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
We take it on and they do things that aren't
related to just going to work, going home, going to
school or training or whatever. They have to use the
system for what it's attended for, and that's respectation.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Chandler says nearly every crime committed on the La Metro
system involves a passenger who did not pay to board.
The Tap to Exit program is operational at stations in
North Hollywood, Santa Monica, Pomona, and at Union Station. Let's
say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem, Jordana.
The UN Security Council has approved a resolution supporting President
(05:32):
Trump's twenty point piece plan for Gaza. What's in it
and did anyone not support it?
Speaker 8 (05:41):
Well? Hamas did not support it, right, because this is
a plan that will eventually push Hamas out of military
and civil control of the Gaza strips. So they weren't
too thrilled about it.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
They're not in the UN though, all.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Right, they're not in the UN, okay, But they did
put out a statement rejecting the proposal inside the UN.
Russia and China, as we know, did not veto and
they abstained. That was their kind of protest against this.
But in general, it is a huge step forward and
(06:17):
a significant success for the Trump administration to move this
plan into a kind of UN resolution and the under
the framework of the UN. And that's important amy because
all of the countries here in the Middle East, right,
the Amortis, the Saudis, the Jordanians, the Egyptians, all of
(06:40):
the partners, the Arab partners that Trump is working with,
they cannot send troops to the International Stabilization Force, right,
the new Security Force. They can't just willy nilly send
them to Gaza, right. There needs to be a framework,
and they can do that under the framework of the
United Nation's Security Council. So this was a key step
(07:04):
to move the process forward. The Israeli Prime Minister put
out a statement. Israel's obviously also not in the UN
sc but they put out a statement endorsing the plan,
calling it, you know, first of all, thanking President Trump
and his team, but also saying it will endorse and
bring more stability to the region, to Gaza, and that
(07:28):
it will help Israel really extend its hand in peace
to other countries to expand the Abraham Accords. I will
say the Prime Minister skipped over saying anything about the
clause in that UN resolution that talks about a pathway
to Palestinian statehood. Right That's something that the Prime Minister
(07:52):
right now and his government are not thrilled over. Nonetheless,
we see it's not going to stop Israel from moving
forward and endorse President Trump's plan.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Okay, I was just going to ask you, was there
talk or is there any language in there about it
Palestinian statehood?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I mean, could could.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
They move forward well most of the plan and maybe
not do all twenty points of it or is it
an all or nothing to Yal?
Speaker 8 (08:20):
I think they're going to move forward on the points
that they can, and remember the pathway to Palestinian statehood
is conditioned on the Palestinian authority undergoing reforms. Right, it
is a you know, it's a very problematic I would say,
governing body right now. Right, there's a lot of corruption,
(08:41):
there's a lot of nepotism. The Palestinian Authority has not
held elections in more than a decade, coming on two
decades actually, and it's leader, the Palestinian President, he's in
his eighties, he's ailing, he is deeply unpopular. Right, So
the pal the Authority has to do a lot of housekeeping,
(09:03):
clean up the way that they're running the West Bank,
and then I think there really could be a role
for them in Gaza, and ultimately they could lead a
new round of peace talks with Israel that would finally
bring them a Palestinian state. All of that's going to
take some time, right, and.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
That's what I was going to say. This is going
to be probably years.
Speaker 8 (09:28):
Yeah, this is this is a this is a ten
year plan, right.
Speaker 9 (09:33):
For sure.
Speaker 8 (09:34):
And I think that's why even though Prime Minister Benjamin
Antennelle and his government reject right now a Palestinian state,
there's there are a lot of other priorities for the
United States and Israel before they get to that point.
And by the time they reach that point, you know,
I'm not sure Antennel is going to be in power, right.
(09:55):
I mean, he may not even win the next election
in a year, so I think, you know, it grabs headlines,
but in the context of what's happening, it's really it
falls down on the list of what's important right.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Now, okay, And what's important right now is that we
took a good step forward yesterday in the un So
thank you so much for the update.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Jured on a Millarley. All right, we'll talk to you
again soon.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. President Trump says
he knows affordability and the economy are important. He made
the remarks last night at the McDonald's Impact Summit. Trump
praised the economy and the fast food giant.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
Before the sun rises, you're observing hot coffee to construction workers, nurses,
and police officers.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
In the evening, you.
Speaker 10 (10:40):
Stand ready with the fast dinner and smile for busy
moms and their children.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
And the hot coffee.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Trump told owners, operators, and suppliers of McDonald's that his
administration is making progress in bringing down inflation, but more
work needs to be done. The ruler of Saudi Arabia
is going to visit the White House today. ABC's Lucian
Bruggermann says President Trump's family does a lot of personal
business in that country.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
The Trump Organization has in recent years embarked on several
development projects in Saudi Arabia, including luxury apartment complex in
multiple cities.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Critics a the president's knack for mixing diplomacy with dealmaking
presents the appearance of a conflict of interest, to claim
the White House has repeatedly denied. A judge in Tennessee
has blocked President Trump's use of National Guard troops in Memphis,
but has put an order on hold, which gives the
government time to appeal. A federal judge has scolded the
(11:36):
Justice Department for what he called profound investigative missteps in
the case against former FBI Director James Comey. The judge
yesterday said those problems include fundamental missteps of the law
by a prosecutor to the grand jury that indicted Comy
in September. The judge ordered the Justice Department to provide
Comy's lawyers with all grand jury materials. A new study
(11:59):
shows pregnant when in the US face rising danger from
gun violence.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
The study, published by JAMA Network Open, reviewed thousands of
homicides across the nation. The review spanned twenty eighteen to
twenty twenty one and found that pregnant women had a
thirty seven percent higher risk of being killed with a
firearm than non pregnant women. It also showed over two
thirds of all pregnancy related homicide deaths involved guns. For
every one percent increase in firearm ownership, states saw a
(12:23):
six percent rise in overall homicide and an eight percent
increase in firearm specific homicide among pregnant women. Mark Ronner

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Jesse Jackson's been transferred out of the ICU after he
was treated for a neurological disorder he's been dealing with
for years. Medical officials say Jackson remains in stable condition
and will continue receiving care at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
His family thinked the medical team, as well as those
who have prayed for him.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
He's been in the hospital since last week.

More than half of consumers say they're not going to
make any changes to Thanksgiving this year in spite of
higher prices.
Speaker 11 (12:59):
According to Butterballs Annual Thanksgiving outlook. The survey found eighty
nine percent of consumers plan to celebrate the holiday and
eighty four percent will do so with the turkey. Consumers
express concern about inflation, but most said they would not
compromise when it comes to Thanksgiving. Some did say they
would do things like change non food items such as
(13:20):
paper goods and decor, or ask guests to bring part
of the meal to help control costs depor mark kif.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I news A couple of notes there.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I like a good pot luck pot luck Thanksgiving is great, Yes,
and only eighty four percent are doing turkey. Maybe that's
factoring in all the vegetarians or something, because it's not
Thanksgiving without turkey in my humble opinion.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Like Ham, I guess.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Ham for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
I've seen it.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Ham's for Easter. I thought I thought so too.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Hi. A massive tree has fallen over at an apartment
complex in Thousand Oaks, displacing eighteen people who lived there.
The tree crashed down on two buildings. Yes, officials say
the soaked ground made the ground and the roots unstable.
It's one of several trees that have fallen on homes
and cars over the past several days. The mother of
late Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs, is expected back on the
(14:12):
witness stand today. Shean Skag's widow, testified in their wrongful
death lawsuit against the Angels yesterday that they knew Skaggs
had a history of drug abuse, but didn't know he
was still struggling with opioids. Skags died of an overdose
on a road trip in Texas in twenty nineteen. More
than forty thousand University of California employees are going to
be walking picket lines again today instead of working, as
(14:34):
a two day strike continues at eighteen u SE campuses
and medical facilities. At six O five's handle on the
news the US planning to sell F thirty five fighter
jets to Saudi Arabia. Let's say good morning to ABC's
Christian Cordero. Christian Big vote today on releasing the Jeffrey
Epstein files.
Speaker 12 (14:55):
Yes, in fact, Amy, good morning to you. This boat
is scheduled to happened sometime today in the House. Its
exact timing is pretty fluid, but likely sometime this afternoon,
and we'll see it. Seems like it has enough support
to make its way.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
To the Senate.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Okay, and it's expected to get bipartisan support, like not
just one or two votes, Is that correct?
Speaker 12 (15:18):
That's right, And it needs bipartisan support, a pretty overwhelming
number of it in order to pass. So if every
Democrat voted in favor of this bill, then it would
also need seventy five Republicans. And that's just based on
rules that the House set in order for it to
meet a super majority.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Okay, and what's the importance of the super majority on
this one?
Speaker 12 (15:37):
It's yeah, there's always, you know, certain rules that are
up for debate. This was one of them. Another one
is that there's forty minutes allotted for debate time ahead
of the vote, twenty minutes divided evenly on each side.
So that was something that you know, they came to
consensus on. And part of it very well could be
that this has been such a contentious issue over the
(15:58):
past several months. Sometimes when you know, you see stuff
like that, then it's important, or you know, Congress is
as important anyways to have some overwhelming support. But this
certainly seems to be one of those examples that does
in the House. And but when it makes its way
to the Senate, if it does, it faces a much
less certain future.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Okay, So let's talk about that just a little bit Christian.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
So when it gets over to the Senate, does it
have to get that sixty vote threshold or would it
just need a simple majority to pass?
Speaker 12 (16:29):
It depends on what you know, the majority comes up
with as far as the vote that it would lay down.
But we're not even really there yet. Majority Leader Johnson
hasn't committed to giving it a vote at all. Of course,
that could change, and it's it's easy to imagine how
it probably would change given the pressure he would face
if this passes through the House by an overwhelming majority,
(16:51):
and then, as we know, the President himself has indicated
he would sign it, So there would be pressure coming
from both sides if this landed in the Senate without
a clear indication of its future.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Okay, And is everybody sort of scrambling on this Christian
just because we know that we got the two hundred
and eighteenth signature to do that, the discharge petition right
to force the vote on the House. But it also
changed when Trump came out over the weekend and said, yeah,
let's release him. Does that kind of put more pressure
(17:25):
or does like I said, does everybody kind of scrambling
to get this done.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Now.
Speaker 12 (17:29):
Yeah, it's been really fascinating to see the change of tone,
you know, between the President and then House Speaker Mike
Johnson as well, who you know, he quoted the petition
and effectively was like, this is a moot point after
he was pushing back on it for many, many weeks
and months. So he said, you know, it's the mood
point is going to the House floor, and that'll be
that when it comes to the president. What's interesting is
(17:50):
the President doesn't actually need congressional approval or an Act
of Congress to release the Epstein files. He can force
the DOJ to do that on his own, and he
has used his executive powers in that way many times
throughout this administration so far. He says that he's letting
it go through Congress for an act of transparency, and
(18:12):
so that's exactly what we're seeing play out right now.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Okay, well, we'll see if they transparently pass this bill today.
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Yes, we will.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Thank you, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Christian Cora Cordero with ABC News lovely to talk to
her as always. The parents of a twelve year old
boy and a thirteen year old girl found decapitated at
a home in Lancaster have been convicted of murder and
child abuse. The children were killed in twenty twenty. Prosecutors
argued that Maurice Taylor Sr. And Natalie Brothwell forced their
(18:42):
younger sons, who were eight and nine years old, to
look at their siblings' bodies and to stay in their
bedrooms for several days without food. The parents are facing
life prison terms without the possibility of parole. God, I
hate this story. That is just horrible. A would be
pimp has been sentenced to prison in La.
Speaker 13 (19:02):
Famian Gilbert is getting sixteen months in state prison after
pleading no contest to pimping charges. Earlier this month, the
twenty one year old was convicted of trying to coerce
women into sex work along the Figure Royal Corridor. He's
also been sentenced to an additional three years in prison
for an unrelated carjacking. The prison sentences are to be
served consecutively, so he's getting over four.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Years in total.

A twenty seven year old man's been charged with raping
a woman and trying to rape another woman in Anaheim,
a forty two year old homeless man was initially charged
with the crimes, but those charges were dismissed at the
end of October, and then police charged James Mitchell the
third on Friday for attacking a woman outside her apartment.
A second woman attacked was able to escape when two
(19:48):
homeless men intervened. The federal government has sued the state
of California over its recently adopted ban on law enforcement
officers wearing masks and a requirement for them to display
their names on UNI. Law was passed in response to
immigration raids around southern California. Ice agents often wear masks.
The Fed say the law endangers immigration agents and opens
(20:10):
them up to harassment. LA County Fire Urban Search and
rescue teams have rescued a man from the San Gabriel
River in Almonte. The man was trapped in the rain
filled riverbed last night. Firefighter and full gear tried to
swim across the river to the guy, but then had
to turn around. The man was airlifted out by helicopter
and taken to the hospital to be checked out. Fire
(20:32):
crews are staying busy in the rain.
Speaker 14 (20:34):
The storms are soaking California, but that's not the only
threat facing the state.
Speaker 15 (20:38):
As we speak, there's one thousand plus acre fire that's
threatening structures, and at the same time there's a risk
of urban and small stream flooding mudslides at the exact
same time in the state.
Speaker 14 (20:50):
Robert Foxworthy with CalFire says even with the rain, the
so called fire season is not over. Currently, the packfire

News NFL legend Bernie Kozar has received a liver transplant.
The former quarterback says he's out and feeling good. Kozar
shared a video from his hospital bed. He said he's
ready to enjoy the rest of the week as well
as the rest of his life. Kozar spent most of
his NFL career with Cleveland Browns and ended it with
the Miami Dolphins. Airports nationwide are operating mostly normally again
(21:27):
after the FAA scrapped government shut down related flight reductions.
Flight Aware shows more than three hundred flights were still
delayed at LAX yesterday, just five were canceled. Triple A
says it expects about six point seven million people will
fly over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Eight people are still
in the hospital two days after a house they were
(21:47):
in exploded in Chino. Hill's neighbors who saw the explosions
say people inside were horribly burned. All are expected to survive.
The explosion Sunday could be felt up to a mile
away and left part of the house in pieces. The
weekend storm that moved through southern California was a doozy.
More than five point one inches of rain fell in
the Eton and Bridge fire burned scars. Just under six
(22:09):
inches of rain fell at the Cogswell Dam. In the
San Gabriel Mountains, Brown's Canyon and the Santa Susanna Mountains
got more than five point three inches in the valley.
The Pacoima Dam recorded four point nine inches of rain.
At six oh five, it's handled on the news. The
head of FEMA has been under fire and now he's well,
he's firing himself. He's out. Bill's going to have something
to say about that, okay. So imagine it's your first
(22:33):
day as a starting quarterback in the NFL. It's going
to be the day that you remember for the rest
of your life. It's going to be so great. Well,
Shudoor Sanders turned out to have a terrible, horrible, no good,
very bad day. He was one hundred and forty fourth
(22:54):
pick in the twenty twenty five NFL Draft. He made
his NFL debut in the second half of the game
on Sunday, replacing starter Dylan Gabriel, who got put on
concussion protocols. The game was at home, so that's fun too, right,
you're starting quarterback.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Well, I guess you're not starting quarterback, but you're the quarterback.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
And then they lost twenty three sixteen. Sanders completed just
four of sixteen passes. He threw an interception, He got
sacked twice. So as you're licking your wounds in your
head for home, you go home and there's cop cars
out in front of your house because your house got
broken into.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Fine, right, the stage just keeps getting better. Yeah, So.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
It's just one in a string of burglaries that have
happened over the last year or so. You know, Patrick Mahomes,
Travis Kelcey, their houses got broken into while they were
at games. So he became the lightest victim of that.
But it wasn't an all horrible, awful day because the
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said after the game, Sanders
will start next Sunday against the Raiders, and the Raiders
(24:06):
are so bad. Even if Sanders doe bad, they could
still win anyway. I just love that story. I'm just like,
oh my god, could it get any worse? Here's what's
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A
coalition of lawyers, insurance representatives, and residents known as La
Fire Justice has filed the lawsuit over the Eton fire.
(24:27):
It targets the company contracted by La County to send
out emergency alerts. Attorney Michael Watts says a lot of
residents in Altadinet never got evacuation warnings from Genesis during
the Eaton fire.
Speaker 16 (24:39):
There is no scientific basis for putting a GIT warning
no GIT warning line on a street other than you
were lazy and you didn't think about it and you
didn't do the right thing.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
He says.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Lake Avenue was used as a dividing line, with residents
on the east side being alerted and the west side
not getting any warnings. Eighteen of the nineteen people killed
in Eaten Fire were killed west of Lake Avenue. The
Walt Disney Companies pumping five million dollars into the redesign
and rebuilding of Charles White Park in Altadena. The park
(25:15):
was badly damaged in the fire in January. Disney imagineers
have been working to give a Disney touch to the
redesigned playground in Amphitheater. It's not known yet when the
park's going to open. California could soon be turning red.
Speaker 14 (25:30):
Recently, several polls have come out saying that California voters
like Republicans to be the state's next governor. Most political
analysts say that Democrats in the state face a crowded
primary and could split the votes so much so that
two Republicans may be facing off of the state's top
political job. California uses what's called a jungle primary system.
It's where all candidates run against each other and the
(25:52):
primary ticket, which is scheduled for June. The top two
candidates move on to the general election. Jason Campadonia KFI knew.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Stordash says hackers have gotten their hands on some phone
numbers and addresses that we're in its database, but the
online food ordering and delivery company insists that that type
of data is not sensitive because it doesn't include things
like social security numbers. They say the crooks got in
when an employee fell for a social engineering attack.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
It's a social engineering attack. I'll have to ask all
of those things they warn us about in those emails. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Time to get in your business now with Alexis Christopherus who's.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
In for Denise today. Good morning, Alexis.
Speaker 17 (26:34):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Good to be with you, guys, Good to be with you.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
So tell us about Home Depot and the issues that
they're digging themselves into and out of.
Speaker 17 (26:44):
Yeah, I mean, this is the third straight miss for
Home Depot when it's really seen as a bell weather
for the economy, right mean, we all sort of go
there to, you know, buy things to fix up the house,
maybe we need a new appliance. So when they're starting
to hurt, it's a signal that maybe we're just pulling
back on consumers spending. So Home Depot today cut its
full year earnings guidance and it's saying that there are
(27:05):
some customers who are just basically hitting the pause button
on buying those big ticket home purchases. They're blaming part
of it on the overall weakness. You know, we continue
to see in the housing market. And also there were
fewer storms.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Believe it or not.
Speaker 17 (27:18):
When there were fewer storms, it hurts home Depot's bottom
line because people don't need to rush out and buy
things to help recover, you know, from those storms. So
not a great kickoff for the big retail earnings that
we're going to be getting this week. We're going to
hear from Walmart and Target as well, So home Depot
the first big one. The news is not great. Stock
is down also, by the way, in futures market, down
(27:39):
about two percent right now.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Well, Alexis, I'm sorry for home Depot, but I'm happy
that there haven't been as many storms in massive destruction,
So you know, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I have a mixed bag. Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So US airlines apparently bracing for weaker travel over the
next two holidays, although TRIPAA is saying they're expecting over
Thanksgiving six point seven millillion people are gonna fly.
Speaker 17 (28:01):
Yeah, you're gonna have lots of company if you're flying,
But if you're looking at it compared to last year,
those numbers are down a little bit. Why we just
had this historic government shut down, eleven thousand flights were
canceled people don't have the patients. So you're seeing now
Thanksgiving travel at least by air down more than three
percent compared to a year ago. It's still a little early,
(28:22):
maybe for the Christmas travel, but bookings there are also
down nearly half a percent. So I think a lot
of folks are either saying, look, the economy looks uncertain,
I don't have the money to fly, and or I
don't have the patients to fly. With all of the
issues that we've been having at the airlines, I mean
the air traffic controllers. We know so many of our
airlines aren't staff the way they should be. They weren't
(28:42):
prior to the government shut down, and that just sort of,
you know, exacerbated the situation again. But I do have
good news. You know what, though, if you're taking to
the road, I got a little good news for gas
prices about where they were a year ago. So we'll
take the wins when we can get them. And if
you have to rent a car, prices are down fifteen
compared to a year ago.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Good because they really shot up in the last year
or two. They did.
Speaker 17 (29:05):
They did there was a huge demand as people were
staying closer to home. But yeah, so you can get
a little bit of a break there.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Okay, what are we expecting in the stocks today? Said?
The things are down to start. Yeah, it's looking ugly.
Speaker 17 (29:18):
Dow futures down nearly four hundred, NASTAQ futures off more
than one hundred.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
You know, this AI boom we.
Speaker 17 (29:24):
Keep talking about, Folks are concerned about overvaluations there, and
with good cause. So this week, actually tomorrow, we're going
to hear from a big giant in that area in Nvidia,
now the world's most you know, expensive company or valued company.
It's going to come out with earnings after the bell tomorrow,
and you know, investors are bracing to see what they
hear there, whether or not these AI valuations actually make sense.
(29:46):
So ahead of that report, we're seeing stocks lower. We're
seeing Bitcoin lower as well, now down below ninety thousand dollars.
So the selling is sort of broad based, you know,
across the board here.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Wasn't bitcoin up to like one hundred and twenty thousand
or something?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You are right, you are, Watfi, Yeah, Kona, our technical
director has a little piece of bitcoin, so he started
nodding right away when I'm sorry.
Speaker 17 (30:10):
Coch Yeah, it's down from those, but you know, very volatile,
and lots of folks feel they need to have at
least a little bit of crypto in the portfolio. So
you know, what goes up comes down and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
All right, Bloomberg's Alexis Christopher is helping us get in
our business like we do every day.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Thanks so much, Alexis, Thanks guys. All right.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
A fourth straight day of rain is in the forecast
for La County. There's a one hundred percent chance of
rain downtown La Long Beach, Pasadena, Burbanks and Gabriel and
by this evening, half to an inch of rain could fall,
with one to two inches expected in the foothills and mountains.
We'll get a break tomorrow before another store moves in Thursday.
The family of a woman who died in the Eton
fire has sued Southern California Edison and the company that
(30:49):
contracts with the county to send out evacuation orders. Relatives
of Stacey Darden accused Edison of sparking the fire and
Genesis of failing to issue evacuation orders to residence in Altadena.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
The homes of.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Two reality TV stars have been burglarized while they were
out of town promoting their show, Please say. The homes
of Sutton Strack and Kathy Hilton of the Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills were broken into within hours of each
other over the weekend while they were at a promotional
event in Las Vegas. Not clear if anything was taken.
We're just minutes away from a handle. On the news
this morning, what's your homeworth? Not as much as it
(31:26):
was I was going to tell you about that. Let's
say good morning now too, the host of How to
Money on KFI, It's Joel Larsgard.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
Morning, Joel, Good morning Amy.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Okay, so we've all heard of door dash, but how
about door cash?
Speaker 9 (31:41):
I mean, the news of the strange and weird, Like,
who thought this was going to be a thing, especially
as we're mind being to being more of a cashless society.
The fact that you can now get cash delivered to
your doorstep is this is the weirdest thing. It was
the news I was not expecting this week. But this
is a Robin Hood and Nitia and Robin Hood. They
(32:01):
just feel like the kind of company who's throwing noodles
against the wall to see what's going to stick. And
maybe this will be appealing to some of their customers.
I don't understand it necessarily myself why you might want
to get cash delivered to your doorstep. And the thing is,
too it's going to cost money, like seven dollars to
have money delivered to your doorsteps, so it's thick of this.
(32:22):
Instead of going to the ATM, which really I mean
there's like billions of ATMs on every street corner, instead
of going there, you can just have someone bring that
cash directly to you, and you can just pay more.
Although I will say ATMs are mostly are pretty expensive
these days unless you have a relationship with a bank
that eliminates fees, which I recommend. But yeah, it can
be really expensive to get money from an ATM as well.
(32:45):
But the fact that Robinhood is trying to make this
a thing is surprising.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Well, you know, people spend a lot of money getting
food delivered, so maybe they'll be willing to spend the
money to have cash delivered.
Speaker 9 (33:00):
Yeah, I mean maybe, I know.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I agree, I think it sounds ridiculous, but with people
being so used to having everything just dropped off between
Amazon and food and all of that stuff, maybe it's
part of what we're evolving.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
To I think it just points to another notch in
the belt of the convenience culture that we've all become
accustomed to. And I'm not against convenience, and I think
some conveniences are worth paying for and they're a lovely
part of living in the year twenty twenty five. But
(33:36):
then you almost this almost feels a convenience jumping the shark,
where it's just you know, we've gone to this next
level and you pay for convenience. And so I think
it's really important for people to pick and choose the
conveniences that matter to them. Like for the longest time,
I was against grocery delivery and I was just like,
I'm not going to pay for that. That's ridiculous. And
(33:56):
then you know, with three kids and stuff, life gets
pretty busy. And I was able to find some discounted
Instacart gift cards and I'm using same day through Costco,
and I was like, Okay, this feels like it's worth
it for me. But I'm really really reticent to bring
a new service that costs money into my life because
I know what's going to happen, and so I'm going
to get used to it and I'm going to get
(34:17):
used to paying for it, and I would prefer to
like be more skeptical of anybody claiming that they're going
to like make my life better convenience that costs me
a lot of money and just and it only take
these in sparingly, like expand your convenience lifestyle sparingly because
it costs.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Money, exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
We're just talking about that, like with the streaming services
with you and I have talked about before, and I
was just talking to my friend about like you get
them and then you forget about them, and so you
just keep on paying for them. And it isn't it convenient?
And isn't it nice to have even though it's costing
a fortune?
Speaker 9 (34:48):
Yep, yep. And if you need cash regularly, that's cool.
And I think we should probably be using cash more
as a society. I think there's something mentally that helps
us be better about spending when we're actually forking over
dollar bills. I mean, there are studies about that, like
what's happening in our brain when we tap a credit
card versus when we hand over cash. So definitely think
about using cash more in your day to day life,
(35:10):
but be with one of my favorite online banks that
has extensive atm networks where you can get your cash
for free or like Schwab. I'm pretty sure they still
reimburse all the ATMPs. They eat it for you on
your behalf. And so there are great banks out there
that don't charge any ATMPs. So at least consider that
(35:31):
if you are someone who likes to use cash.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Okay, and then here's another thing. Did you know that
Ralphs is now charging you for cash back?
Speaker 6 (35:39):
No?
Speaker 9 (35:39):
Yeah, so what's really charging?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
I can't remember because I don't do it. I did
it once, I was like what and didn't really think
about it. So now I do it at my pavilions,
where I still don't. I don't think they're charging. But yeah,
they started like a year ago and just kind of went, oh, yeah,
that's like convenience fee or whatever they're calling it. But
there is a female and can get cash back to
the grocery store.
Speaker 7 (36:01):
That's really silly.
Speaker 9 (36:03):
That's so frustrating because that used to be the easiest
way to get a twenty bucks or something like that
when you're buying your groceries, and if they're going to
charge for that, that uh yeah, that's an annoying that's
annoying thing. I can't imagine that's a great customer service
or most people feel.
Speaker 7 (36:16):
Great about that.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, And speaking of grocery stores, apparently prices are going
to maybe start coming down.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
Boy, I hope so.
Speaker 9 (36:25):
And I mean this is something that I was pretty
pretty willing to discuss openly before, you know, the Berration
day was coming around, that tariffs are not a good thing,
that they are essentially attacked on the American shopper. And
yet you know, the President was really keen on terrafts.
He you know, said they were like the best word
in the in the English language. And what's happened since
(36:47):
then is like, you know, we haven't seen quite the
increase in prices that many had predicted. Although I was
talking to a friend the other day who works for
a really big water sports company, and he was saying, well,
we've been eating them for now. We can't do it forever.
And I think that's happening with a lot of companies.
There was inventory build up ahead of the terraffs, and
then there was a certain amount of like taking the
punch themselves instead of passing on to the consumers. Those
(37:10):
days are quickly ending, and so prices we are seeing
prices ratchet up. And the other thing is at the
grocery store in particular, some of the tariffs that were
levied were on items that we're not going to produce
and we can't really produce, like coffee, right, We don't
grow a lot of coffee in the United States of America.
Bananas pretty hard to grow bananas in Alaska. Right, So
(37:34):
we just saw prices climb significantly on those because of terrafs.
And now the President is realizing, well, affordability is the
thing that Americans care about, seemingly more than anything else,
and it's a political issue, and so he's quietly rolling
back some of those tariffs. So we might be seeing

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
