Speaker 4 (00:54):
It's a super moon, last one of the year.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
There were some clouds coming in, but the clouds part
and it was big and beautiful. So that's worth getting
up for, right. Plus there's coffee that's worth getting here's
what's ahead on Wakeup Call. A doctor who sold ketamine
to Friends star Matthew Perry has been sentenced to two
and a half years in prison. Dofter Salvador Placentia admitted
(01:19):
to illegally selling ketamine to Perry knowing that he was
a struggling addict. Prosecutors say the the ketamine that killed
Perry wasn't actually provided by Placentia, but his actions contributed
to Perry's death. A seventeen year old has been killed
in Vermontinoles in South LA, apparently in an explosion of
a homemade firework. Lapds's officers responded to the scene about
(01:43):
nine point thirty last night. The teen was taken at
the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Pico Boulevard is closing today and is going to be
closed for almost two and a half years for construction
on the La Convention Center expansion project. Pico's going to
be closed between La live Way and Figueroa until March

and Hamas is being tested. ABC's Jordonna Miller going to
(02:09):
join us from Jerusalem to tell us about the latest
Hamas attack and Israel's response. ICE agents are headed to
the Big Easy. ABC's Jim Ryan's going to tell us
the latest coming up at five point fifty, and we're
taking a southern California sleigh ride to a very mary place.
If you're looking for an old fashioned Christmas Christmas, this
is the place for you to go. We're going to
(02:32):
be telling you all about that coming up in about
twenty minutes. Let's get started, though, with some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
The family of Friends star Matthew Perry has weighed in
on the thirty month prison sentence given to Salvador Placentia,
the doctor who sold ketamine to the actor before his
fatal overdose.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
The family says no one alive and in touch with
the world at all could have been unaware of Matthew's struggles,
pointing to that cruel text Placentia sent to another doctor
supplying the ketamine. I wonder how much this moron will pay.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
ABC's Trevor Alt says Placentia apologized in court and admitted
he failed Perry and his family. News brought to you
by Ruderhroo dot Com. A man police say stabbed his
father to death in Lake Balboa has been shot and
killed by officers. Police were called to a home on
Valerio Street yesterday. They were told that a man had
(03:28):
attacked family members before he got involved in a domestic dispute.
The laped s'ys officers heard sounds of a struggle and
forced their way in and found Joshua Bonia fighting with
his father. The older man had been stabbed at least
one officer shot. The sun La County Sheriff's officials have
unveiled body cams for deputies working in the jails.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
The counties faced multiple.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Scandal related to our scandals related to jail conditions. Sheriff
Luna says the department is fully cooperating with a state
investigation into the jail system and has taken proactive approach
to fixing problems. A man from Altadena who lost his
home and the Eton fire is waking up in his
newly rebuilt home after almost a year. Ted Kerner moved
(04:11):
in yesterday as the county issued him the first certificate
of occupancy. He says Altadena is a very special place.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
I've met a lot of neighbors that I never would
have known because of this fire.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
People have stopped by during the build and I've met
a lot of very wonderful people, and there's more of
a sense of community now than ever before.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
He also praised the builders.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Kerner says he had to use his retirement money to
help start the rebuilding process before the insurance money kicked in. Well,
apparently a bear must think that Altadena is a special
place too, because that one that crawled under a home
in the city more than a week ago is still there.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
Ken Johnson lives there and says he can't get the
beast to leave, so he's forced to live with it.
Johnson says he's had numerous calls with the California Department
of Fish and Wildlife. They suggested using a fan to
vent ammonia fumes into the crawl space, but Johnson fear
is what the bear might do. Thankfully, he says the
only damage so far has been to his trash can.
(05:06):
Mark Mayfield Kofi News.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I absolutely love this story. I mean, I hope nobody
gets hurt, but I love this story. And I don't
think he should do ammonia because that might be toxic
to the bear.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
We don't want him to get hurt.
Speaker 9 (05:17):
Poor bear.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
My landlord to get a nap.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I know he's getting ready for hibernation, but my neighbors
are not my neighbors. My landlords spray peppermint oil around
the house to keep the critters away. So maybe if
they did peppermint oil, maybe he wouldn't like that. And
I was spraying it yesterday and went, well, I don't
know if it's going to scare the critters away, but
it sure makes it smell like Christmas around us.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I'm gonna say it's kind anyway. I hope everybody's okay
with that bear situation.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana,
so that very fragile ceasefire between Israel and MS is
being tested.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
What's going on?
Speaker 9 (05:58):
Well, on when day Hamas operatives came out of a
tunnel in Rafa, that is in the Yellow Zone, the
area controlled by the Israeli Army, they launched an attack
on two Israeli positions, critically injuring one soldier moderately in
during three others. And then the Israeli Army carried out
(06:19):
a reprisal strike in southern southern Gaza in Han units,
targeting uh the Israeli armies as Hamas's commander there. And
this is really any a repetition of what we've seen,
you know, really since the seafire started. Every week or so,
(06:41):
there are a group of over one hundred Hamas militants
that are still in the tunnels underneath the Israeli yellow zone,
if you will, and they pop up, uh, you know,
and they launch attacks against Israeli sometimes they're trying to escape,
and they continue to be a kind of thorn in
the side of this ceasefire, testing it time and time again.
(07:05):
The good news, Amy is at this time around, the
reprisal strike by the Israelis was rather limited. That's not
to say it wasn't deadly. The Palestines are reporting at
least ten killed in Han Yunis and these strikes that
also set tents on fire near the Almawassie humanitarian zone,
(07:25):
but that was it. They were not strikes that went
on for hours and hours like we saw in previous weeks.
You know, those were prival strikes killed you know, each
one of them killed over one hundred Pilestdians. So this
was a more limited strike and now you know, we're
back to kind of square one with both sides, you know,
(07:47):
more or less keeping the seafire.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Okay, And so Jordana is this though you said that
there's there's a group or a groups that are they
pop up every once in a while, and then there's
skirmishes and then it gets quiet again.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Is this the main Hamas group or is this like
a splinter group, or do we.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
Know this is Hamas. These are fighters that never left
these tunnels when Israel and Hamas broker by the US,
signed that that peace steal, they were supposed to evacuate
these tunnels, and they stayed there, probably on purpose, but
(08:25):
some like to argue maybe they didn't know about the ceasefire.
And there's been a running dispute really between Israel the
United States about what should happen to these Hamas fighters.
Right the Trump administration has said, let them out, confiscate
their arms, and send them back to Gaza, and Israel
(08:46):
has said, these were, you know, these dozens of Hamas fighters.
We're not only holding hostages, but they were attacking Israeli
forces all through the war. And if they're going to
come out, we're not going to let them go just
right over the border, if you will, uh to the
to the Hamas controlled side of Gaza. They need to
actually go to other countries ps no one else will
(09:08):
take them. Right. So, over the last several weeks they've
been you know, they've been trying to sneak out or
launch strikes, and you know, slowly they're either escaping or
getting killed.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And then we got word that another set of remains
had been handed over to the Red Cross. Has it
been confirmed that that was one of the hostages?
Speaker 9 (09:32):
It has? And that's another piece of good news. Yes,
there were two remaining hostages in hostage bodies in Gaza,
and one this morning was positive positively identified as the
tie worker, the last foreign national. It was his body,
uh and he was an agricultural volunteer that Hamas killed
(09:55):
on October seventh. His family obviously really believed that they
will only get his body back and they can give
him a proper burial. And that leaves just one Israeli
hostage body left in Gaza, okay.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
And then Jordana.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Are we making any progress on the next phase of
the ceasefire? Is that sort of in limbo or is
it being discussed? What's going on because we haven't heard
much about it lately.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
Yeah, there's not much progress being made on the ground,
but the Trump administration, Israel, the regional allies, everyone's working
on different different parts of the next stage. Right, Some
are working on the international Security Force, the police force,
(10:40):
the new governing body. But nothing is taking hold. There's
some disputes, some talks are stalled, and I think, Amy,
we won't really see progress until President Trump turns his
gaze back on Gaza. Right now, he's obviously busy with
trying to broke our piece between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
All right, well, we will be watching and we will
check in with you again. ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem, thank.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
You so much.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Accused killer Luigi
Mangioni is due back in court in New York for
a third day of a pre trial hearing. ABC's Peter
Harralumbus says today is also one year to the day
that Mangioni allegedly stalked and gunned down United Healthcare CEO
Brian Thompson.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
His lawyers are attempting to convince the judge overseeing his
case to prohibit prosecutors from using critical evidence, including the
alleged murder weapon and Mengioni's journal.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
They argue the evidence was unlawfully seized from his backpack
without a warrant. When he was arrested. Hundreds of Border
Patrol agents have arrived in New Orleans.
Speaker 10 (11:44):
Federal agents are rounding up groups of migrant workers across
the Big Easy, where agents in unmarked vehicles have been
seen at locations where day laborers commonly gather. A Border
Patrol commander says several hundred personnel will remain in New
Orleans until the midi has accomplished. The governor wants operations
to continue through Marti gras the mayor elect is less supportive.
(12:07):
I'm rory O'Neil.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Us Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff is meeting with a top
Ukrainian official today in Miami as efforts continue to end
the war with Russia. Whitcoff's meeting with the head of
Ukraine's National Security Council comes after a five hour meeting
with Russian President Putin in Moscow this week. The Kremlin
says those talks produced no new breakthroughs, but President Trump
(12:29):
said they went reasonably well. A major point of contention
is Russia's territorial demands. President Trump is hosting the leaders
of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda to oversee
the signing of a peace deal.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
And two African nations have been fighting for years. In June,
the foreign ministers of each country signed a preliminary peace
deal and an economic pack drawn up by the US
at the White House. The Democratic Republic of Congo is
also expected to sign a minerals and infrastructure partnership with
the Trump administration. Mark Mayfield KOFI News.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
What you've been watching on YouTube for twenty twenty five
says a lot about you.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
The end of the year means recaps of stuff online
that you wasted your time and attention on. Google has
just launched its YouTube Recap, which gives an overview of
a user's history over the last twelve months. It even
assigns you one of a dozen personality types based on
your viewing, including the sunshiner if you watch a lot
of positive, good vibe videos, or the skill builder if
you watch a lot of self help videos. YouTube joins
(13:26):
Apple and Amazon, who released their own year end retro
recaps on Tuesday as an answer to Spotify, which began
its look back on music called Rapped last year. Michael
Krozer KFI News.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You know what I like to watch? Raccoon videos? This
is my favorite story. Did you hear about this raccoon
the best.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It broke into a liquor store in Virginia early Sunday morning.
Don't know that it was maliciously trying to get into
the actual store. It sounds like it fell through a
ceiling tile, fell down into the store and got into
the booze and drank some whiskey and I think some scotch,
and it smashed some bottles and there was alcohol over
(14:08):
on the floor. And so when the liquor store worker
came in the next morning, she goes into the bathroom
and finds the raccoon passed out, face down next to
the toilet.
Speaker 11 (14:21):
That picture, that end of picture is the story right now.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, if you haven't seen the picture, just googled drunk
raccoon and I'm sure it's going to come in, come up.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
But it's absolutely adorable.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
They took it to an animal shelter and let it
slip it off, made sure that it wasn't hurt, and
it wasn't, and then they released it back into the wild.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
But how adorable, right, bad raccoon?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
A marine at Camp Pendleton has been killed during a
training exercise at the base. The military says the marine
died of injuries sustained in a tactical vehicle mishap yesterday afternoon.
Officials say the death was not related to Steel Night,
which is an annual large scale training exercise that began
Monday on Base. A man from Buena Park is pleaded
(15:10):
not guilty to charges that he killed a pregnant dog
by tying a rope around her neck, attaching it to
his suv, and hitting the gas. Prosecutors say he then
got out of his suv on Monday, looked at the
dog's body, and drove away.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has been lit for the season.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
The tree this year is surrounded by security checkpoints in Midtown.
The seventy five foot tall Norway Spruce is illuminated with
fifty thousand lights. Gwen Stefani, Marc Anthony and the Rockets
were all part of the tree lighting ceremony last night at.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Six oh five.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
It's handle on the news for ice next stop the
Big Easy, which is causing big anxiety for some. So
this holiday season, we're checking out different Christmas events and
activities around southern California. Some you might know of, some
you may not. Some you may have forgotten about. But
let's head out now on our Southern California sleigh ride
(16:12):
this week. We're going out and about to a very
merry little place. Now it's not Mary Farm. A few
weeks ago it was not Scary Farm. But we're out
with the Halloween and in with the holidays and here
to tell us all about it. We have producer of entertainment,
Chris Do. Thanks for having us.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Out today, Cooly, We're happy to have you here. Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
So I love the vibe of Notts Mary Farm. So
tell us like, when people come in, what are they
going to feel, what are they going to see? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Absolutely, the moment they walk in.
Speaker 11 (16:45):
I mean you're seeing it right now is a beautiful
entrance statement that's brand new this year that our guests
can expect when they come in here, and then once
they go into ghost Town in all of our wonderful areas,
it is that hometown feel of Christmas just everywhere.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And that's one of the things that's so cool about
not Mary Farm is you feel like you're going back,
well kind of into the Old West, but it's got
such a homey and rustic feel. And I just like
I said, I love the vibe because it's very different
than a lot of other places in southern Californa.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
As you walk through ghost Town, you see the Christmas
crafters that we have that are here just for not
smary far. There's all these wonderful crafts, and then at
nighttime we have snow.
Speaker 12 (17:24):
Right.
Speaker 11 (17:24):
So you're sitting here seeing these wonderful crafters, you see
this old West feel and then all of a sudden
it starts as snow and it really brings families together,
and it's this wonderful.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Tradition that we have here. Okay, So tell me about
the Christmas crafters.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
It's sort of like your own little mini and Christmas market, right, because.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
There's a lot of them.
Speaker 11 (17:38):
Yes, So we have Christmas crafters all over ghosts Hown
selling things from clothes to woodwork to a glass where
that's being made here. So a variety of different wonderful
Christmas items that will have our Christmas crafters. That happens
every day here that we have it not's very far, okay.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And then the whole park is decorated. So if you're ridy,
if you're thinking, I need to get in the spare
of the Holidays is a great place.
Speaker 11 (18:02):
The whole park is just Christmas decked out. Of course,
we have our shows that we have talk about the
show absolutely so we have of course our waternot theater show,
Snoopy's Night before Christmas. We have our ice show that
we have so that runs inside the water out theater.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
We have an ice show with Snoopy.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
Of course that's all Snoopy's Night before Christmas, but of
course it's on ice. We have an air list that
flies over the audience. That's beautiful out there and then
over the Calculm mid stage.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
We have Home for the Holidays.
Speaker 11 (18:27):
Which is a musical spectacular and it follows the Harper
family as they prepare for Christmas in our Christmas traditions
of full cast of singers.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
And dancers is beautiful of the calcul Mind stage.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, now let's talk about the Christmas Tree because it's
a new tree this year.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
The Christmas Tree is brand new this year. We have
some new decorations on it. We have a larger stage
that it just looks absolutely beautiful. And on top of
that we have our nightly Christmas Tree lighting that we
have singers dancers that come out and help us light
the tree every night at about five fifteen and it
is a beautiful new tree. We just put it up
and we're very excited to share with our guests.
Speaker 12 (19:00):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
And it wouldn't be the holidays if there wasn't special
holiday menu items, So you want to share with me
a couple of.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
Just about all of our locations have a special menu.
I will tell you my personal favorite, as someone who
grew up even a lot of Rice Krispy treats. Over
the ghost Town Grill, we have adulta d leche rice
Krispye tree that is just abasing.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
You might have to get there.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, then here's the other one, and I will tell
you I cheated. I went to Google and I said, Google,
what's some of the best foods.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
At Notts Mary Farm? And there is.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
A turkey stuffing corn dog.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
We are having that.
Speaker 11 (19:36):
Tonight, yes, strictly on a stick. That's actually my favorite.
It is turkey corn dog and instead of the batter,
we use us some stuffing in it. So you get
the best of both worlds. You get what you need
to have at theme park, a corn dog, and then
you have stuffing which brings the holiday together. So it's
a perfect melt together over Trickley and the steak.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Okay, holiday's going on now through now.
Speaker 11 (19:53):
It's going to be going on now through January fourth,
and we always have our season passes available. If you
purchase it now, you'll be able to get the rest
of this year and then next to your freeze.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Well okay, and where do we get more information?
Speaker 11 (20:02):
You can go to notts dot com to get more
information on these details and all of particular information.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
The holidays have arrived at not Mary Farm and that
is where we are out and about for our Southern
California sleigh ride.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Christo, thanks so much, waterful see you oh ho ho
so lovely, so lovely at not Mary Farm.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And if you again, if you want to get in
the Christmas mood, that's a really cool place to go.
I mean it just feels so homey and rustic and lovely.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
And I will tell you the biggest disappointment we had
is that Anna and I were running around.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
We went we saw the Christmas tree lighting, which is cool.
They have a new tree and it's beautiful. We saw
the snow and they really turn on the snow. It's
really fun and people go crazy for it. And then
we ran over right before the park closed because it
closes pretty early. Right now on weekdays, they're going to
extend hours as we get closer to Christmas. We ran
over to go get that turkey hot dog on a
(20:57):
stick that's covered in stuff thing, and the little stand
was closed, so we didn't get to have it, and
we were so looking forward to it. I might have
to go back down there just to get it because
it sounds that good. But you can check out more

coastal and inland areas of Ventura County, the Malibu Coasts,
the San Gabriel Mountains, and the s and A Clarita Valley.
Speaker 4 (25:01):

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Forecasters say to expect those wind gusts to be about
thirty five, maybe even forty five miles per hour in
the foothills until about three this afternoon. At six oh five.
It's handle on the news. California has a new online
snitch line for immigration agents. I was going to tell
you about that. Here's what's coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour news room. A seventeen year old in
South LA has been killed in an apparent fireworks accident.
(25:24):
Police say a possible homemade firework exploded last night on
West eighty fourth Street near the one ten Freeway. The
teenager was pronounced dead at the hospital. Police say there
may be more victims of a thirty two year old
social media influencer. He's accused of sexually assaulting at least
two women in West LA. The man goes by Clinton
(25:45):
Lord on social media. Prosecutors say he meets the women,
invites them to his place, and then assaults them. He's
being held on one point four two million dollars bail.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Show mad Men has been re released, but some are
saying there's something weird about it. ABC's Sherry Preston's fans
are seeing a little too much now.
Speaker 17 (26:40):
On HBO Max and four K, and viewers have spotted
some mistakes. In the famous vomit scene, you can actually
see crew members off to the side running a machine
that spits out fake vomit. It turns out an unedited
version of the series was apparently uploaded by mistake.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
The show first ran on the cable network AMC from
two thousand and seven to twenty fifteen.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Saw an episode of mad Men.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Time to Get in Your Business Now with Bloomberg's Denise
Pelagreney Morning, Denise.
Speaker 12 (27:09):
I can't believe you admitted that in public. I know,
it's shocking.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
I know a piece of America love I probably think
I think you would. It's really amazing. Yeah, that's what
I mean. Everybody said it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I just I don't know why I never started it,
and so I didn't. I didn't want to join kind
of midway.
Speaker 12 (27:27):
So yeah, I didn't either. And then my husband wanted
to watch it again and he made me sit down
and watch you know, all of them, and it's like
it's like an American novel.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Okay, well, you know that's the beauty of the stream.
I can go back and I can binge it now.
Speaker 12 (27:42):
Yeah, now you can see all those things you didn't
want to see do Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Well, you know what, And I like to binge shows
because I'm tired and I want to just lay on
the couch.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
And apparently I'm not alone. I'm with you. I was
leading you into your first story.
Speaker 12 (27:57):
So which one was it? The one about the mec
the macaroni and cheese? It about Americans being tired about Americans?
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Yeah, good cat one. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (28:07):
So apparently people are so tired amy of doing chores
and they just want to sit on the couch and
they're really willing to pay for this, which is the
business part of the story. People paying two thousand dollars
for a washer dryer combo that does a load of
laundry in under two hours, you know, just set and
forget it. Also, a seventeen hundred dollars oven that claims
to make a restaurant quality pizza at home in two minutes.
(28:29):
And this is the one I love. An eighteen hundred
dollars styler closet that, with the press of a button,
deodorizes steams and lightly dries your clothing, hopefully dries it
all the way.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (28:41):
It sounds a little funky to me and kind of
cheap eighteen hundred dollars for all that, But apparently you
can have the closet wash your clothes.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Okay, all right, if you got the money for it. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
So now let's talk about Craft's Mac and cheese box
sell out.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
I did a story about this last week.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
Oh my gosh. So you know, people love mac and cheese.
We've talked about this before. And Walmart had this new deal,
never seen before, sixty five inch box of mac and
cheese with sixty five smaller boxes in it, you know,
the meals boxes. They sold them on Black Friday at
a seventy five percent discount compared to if you bought
(29:20):
them individually. Serious discount, right, USA Today says they sold
out in under an hour, all of them that they
had in stock, of course, even though they they went
on sale at midnight, so people were either staying up
to do this or anyway all gone. And now the
big talk is will they get more? And Walmart isn't saying,
(29:40):
but people keep checking hoping that these come back on
the market.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Well, and it was a bargain.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
It was only like nineteen dollars and seventy cents or
something crazy.
Speaker 12 (29:48):
Yes, yeah, and it's mac and cheese, which delicious, okay
for breakfast this morning?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
All right, So a lot of people are ordering stuff
on Amazon. It comes right through the post office, but.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
It might not much longer.
Speaker 12 (30:01):
Yeah, I mean, this is a crazy thing. It's a
huge part of the post office business. Amazon is their
top customer. They give them more than what six billion
dollars in an annual revenue. This could really be disaster
for the male agency if it happens. Wall Street Journal
Washington Post rather says Amazon is considering cutting ties with
(30:21):
the USPS Postal Service already posting those multi billion dollar
losses in nine of the past ten years. Having once
worked for the post Office, I can vouch in person
that they're just not that efficient.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
So okay, getting in your business with Bloombergston East Pellegriny
like we do every day.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Have a great table. Talk to you tomorrow too.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Hey is it light out yet? No, you still might
be able to see the full moon. It's a supermoon,
the last one of the year. Also, I wanted you
to check out my Instagram.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
I'm about to post it. I had to make a
quick change.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
But our interview at knots Mary Farm, we took our
so cal sleigh ride down to Buena Park and checked
out the traditional lovely offerings at notts Mary Farm.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
So cute actually.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
And there was a question about whether you can still
go to restaurants Atknttsberry Farm without going into the park.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
I think that was Will asking maybe Kono. But yes,
you can still eat at the restaurant outside of Knotsbury Farm,
that delicious retisserie Chicken. Oh yeah, it's open. You can
go there without any ticket.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Good to know. Good to know. Thank you so much
for checking in.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
And if you want to weigh in on the talkback
you can do it anytime listening on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
It's the little microphone in the upper right hand corner.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
US filings for jobless benefits have fallen to one hundred
ninety one thousand dollars or not dollars, just one hundred
ninety one thousand for last week. That's the lowest level
in more than three years. Police are still looking for
the person or peace people who shot and killed four people,
including three kids, at a birthday party in stockt And
(32:04):
the Sheriff's department says they are having trouble getting any
of the one hundred to one hundred and fifty people
at the party to talk. San Diego Congressman darryl Isa
may go to another state to run for Congress. His
district is being redrawn to favor Democrats over that voter
passed redistricting measure in California. Report says Isa might consider
(32:24):
moving to Texas to run for a seat near Dallas.
We're just minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning,
check your fridge. There's a massive shredded cheese recall. That
is serious stuff. Let's say good morning now to ABC's
Jim Ryan. Jim, as has happened in several other cities
around the US. A federal immigration operation is underway in
(32:45):
the Big Easy, and it's making some people very uneasy.
Speaker 18 (32:50):
It is, yes, the immigration rights attorneys, immigration actors. There
have been protests there in advance of this movie. They
can agree on a name for this thing. People around
here have been calling it Operation Swamp Sweep. But according
to the Department of Homeland Security, it was never called that.
It's Operation Cattahula crunchsh In.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
It's it's well.
Speaker 18 (33:11):
The catta Hula leopard Dog is the state dog of Louisiana.
The catta Hula is a parish up north. It's nowhere
really near New Orleans or Baton Rouge. It's in the
north central part of the state. So that's according to
the DHS, what it's actually called, Operation Cattahula Crunch. So
fight said to say that ICE agents started arriving in
(33:31):
New Orleans yesterday. They'll fan out. They began their work
in Cannera, a suburb a little to the west of
New Orleans yesterday. This will be going on for several months,
perhaps no telling really how many agents are coming here.
Two hundred to two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Perhaps, Okay, and I had heard that the mayor of
New Orleans isn't so happy about this, but that the
governor of Louisiana is okay with it.
Speaker 18 (33:59):
Yeah, exactly, and maybe the only state in the country
where the governor has actually asked for this kind of
enforcement action to come in. So you know, he's like
minded with Donald Trump, and he asked this to happen.
So they're sending in these ICE agents into New Orleans,
which is led by a Democratic mayor. She takes office
(34:19):
next month. The mayor and the police she both have
been troubled. They say, Okay, these people are coming, The
ICE agents are going to be here. They have asked
that those agents not wear balaklavas or coverings over their faces,
and that they wear their uniforms when they do this work.
The concern is that in Louisiana you can carry a
gun without any permit at all. And if some stranger
(34:42):
bangs on the door and a person with a gun
opens that door, and here's this person covered, you know,
looking like Robert almost, somebody's going to get hurt. So
that's kind of the concern, okay.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
And then another concern is that while DHS says it's
going after the worst of the worst.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
People say that other are getting caught up too.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Do we have any kind of numbers on like the
percentage of the really bad guys or is DHS releasing
any of that.
Speaker 18 (35:11):
DHS put out a statement on its own saying that
about seventy percent of the people who have been taken
into custody are facing charges other than just being in
the country illegally, so they've either been charged or convicted
of some other crime. So that's seventy percent. Some immigration
rights activists say the number is much lower than that.
That a lot of people who haven't committed a crime
(35:34):
other than being in the country illegally are being caught
up in this. So again it's hard to get firm numbers.
But DHS says one thing, and others are saying something else.
The City of New Orleans, by the way, put out
or created a website yesterday, Amy, and it's a place
where you can upload video of quote possible abuse or
(35:54):
misconduct by federal immigration officials. So I mean that tells
you I think sort of my set that separates ICE
agents from the local police or local city council when
it comes to this.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, we've got that here too, where they've got like
a tip line or something.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Like that, any idea where they're going to go next.
Speaker 18 (36:17):
Which, no, there's no telling. Really, there may be a
similar request, you know, considering that. Okay, Jeff Landry, the
governor of Louisiana, Republican, conservative Republican and a friend of
Donald Trump, requested this to go into a city that's
run by Democrats taxes, Maybe next Texas led by a
conservative Republican governor. Several of the cities are run by
(36:40):
or governed by perceived Democrats. These are nonpartisan elections here
in Texas, but I think by and large people know
what the party is of the mayor of Austin. After all,
he'd served in the state legislature for a long time.
So it could be Texas, could be somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
All right, well, we'll be watching ABC's Jim Ryan. Thank
you so much for the information.
Speaker 18 (37:00):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
All right, hey, a quick update.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
We were just telling you that San Diego Congressman darryl
Isa had talked about possibly moving to Texas to run
for a seat because his district has been redrawn here
in California.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
But apparently that is not happening.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Darryl Isa says he is going to still run for
Congress in California, not in Texas. A doctor who pleaded
guilty to selling ketamine to Matthew Perry weeks before the
actor overdosed has been sentenced to two and a half
years in prison. Maybe sees Alex Stone says doctor Salvador
Placentia apologized yesterday before he was led away in handcuffs.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
He actually spoke directly to Matthew Perry's family and he
cried and they cried, making eye contact where he said
I am sorry, and he took responsibility for this, saying
that he had done wrong.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
The judge stress that Placentia did not provide the actual
ketamine that killed Perry, but said that he helped feed
the addiction. More than a million fentanyl pills the bit
and seized by Deea Jensen La. The DEA says the
seizure that happened back in October comes as the drug
cartels increased trafficking of fentanyl powder and production of fentanyl pills.
(38:11):
House Democrats have released footage of Jeffrey Epstein's private Caribbean
island where he allegedly exploited a young women and Girls.
ABC's Aaron Katirsky says it's part of the Democrats push
to have all the Epstein files released.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Congress passed and President Trump signed a law requiring the
Justice Department to release the records within thirty days.
Speaker 9 (38:30):
There are just two weeks left.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
A lawyer for Epstein's co conspirator, Gallaane Maxwell, says she
will soon file a petition challenging her sex trafficking conviction.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walls is under pressure to resign over
a corruption investigation. The New York Times published an investigation
last week on fraud allegedly committed by Somali immigrants on
Minnesota's social services system. House speaker Mike Johnson says it
(38:56):
is staggering.
Speaker 8 (38:57):
Tom Emmer, of course, is from Minnesota, and he tells
us that it maybe as much as two billion dollars
in frouder Minnesota, and Tim Watts has a lot to
answer for.
Speaker 18 (39:05):
Congress has a lot of interest in this.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Well says he supports investigating and prosecuting crime, but says
targeting immigrants isn't a real solution. President Trump is rolling
back fuel economy standards for American automakers.
Speaker 19 (39:17):
Trump announced lowering standards set by the Biden administration that
require passenger cars and light trucks to have a field
efficiency of around fifty miles a gallon by twenty thirty one.
Speaker 18 (39:26):
People want the gasoline car.
Speaker 10 (39:28):
They won everything.
Speaker 9 (39:29):
They want electric, they won any they won a half,
lots of alternatives, but they do want the gasoline car.
Speaker 19 (39:35):
Crum says the old standards will only jack up the
price of vehicles and was a move to force American
families to buy higher price DV cars and trucks. Automakers
are applauding Trump, with top executives from Ford, General Motors
and Stilantis on hand for the announcement. Tammy Triho KFI News.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
And Miguel Rowjas will retire a Dodger, but not quite Yes,
he just signed a one year deal with the world
champion team. A game tying home run in Game seven
that took the Dodgers into extra innings and eventually led
to the Dodgers clinching the World Series win. Rojas says
he will retire after the twenty twenty six season. This

Speaker 4 (00:54):
It's a super moon, last one of the year.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
There were some clouds coming in, but the clouds part
and it was big and beautiful. So that's worth getting
up for, right. Plus there's coffee that's worth getting here's
what's ahead on Wakeup Call. A doctor who sold ketamine
to Friends star Matthew Perry has been sentenced to two
and a half years in prison. Dofter Salvador Placentia admitted
(01:19):
to illegally selling ketamine to Perry knowing that he was
a struggling addict. Prosecutors say the the ketamine that killed
Perry wasn't actually provided by Placentia, but his actions contributed
to Perry's death. A seventeen year old has been killed
in Vermontinoles in South LA, apparently in an explosion of
a homemade firework. Lapds's officers responded to the scene about

and Hamas is being tested. ABC's Jordonna Miller going to
(02:09):
join us from Jerusalem to tell us about the latest
Hamas attack and Israel's response. ICE agents are headed to
the Big Easy. ABC's Jim Ryan's going to tell us
the latest coming up at five point fifty, and we're
taking a southern California sleigh ride to a very mary place.
If you're looking for an old fashioned Christmas Christmas, this
is the place for you to go. We're going to
(02:32):
be telling you all about that coming up in about
twenty minutes. Let's get started, though, with some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
The family of Friends star Matthew Perry has weighed in
on the thirty month prison sentence given to Salvador Placentia,
the doctor who sold ketamine to the actor before his
fatal overdose.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
The family says no one alive and in touch with
the world at all could have been unaware of Matthew's struggles,
pointing to that cruel text Placentia sent to another doctor
supplying the ketamine. I wonder how much this moron will pay.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
ABC's Trevor Alt says Placentia apologized in court and admitted
he failed Perry and his family. News brought to you
by Ruderhroo dot Com. A man police say stabbed his
father to death in Lake Balboa has been shot and
killed by officers. Police were called to a home on
Valerio Street yesterday. They were told that a man had
(03:28):
attacked family members before he got involved in a domestic dispute.
The laped s'ys officers heard sounds of a struggle and
forced their way in and found Joshua Bonia fighting with
his father. The older man had been stabbed at least
one officer shot. The sun La County Sheriff's officials have
unveiled body cams for deputies working in the jails.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
The counties faced multiple.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Scandal related to our scandals related to jail conditions. Sheriff
Luna says the department is fully cooperating with a state
investigation into the jail system and has taken proactive approach
to fixing problems. A man from Altadena who lost his
home and the Eton fire is waking up in his
newly rebuilt home after almost a year. Ted Kerner moved
(04:11):
in yesterday as the county issued him the first certificate
of occupancy. He says Altadena is a very special place.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
I've met a lot of neighbors that I never would
have known because of this fire.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
People have stopped by during the build and I've met
a lot of very wonderful people, and there's more of
a sense of community now than ever before.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
He also praised the builders.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Kerner says he had to use his retirement money to
help start the rebuilding process before the insurance money kicked in. Well,
apparently a bear must think that Altadena is a special
place too, because that one that crawled under a home
in the city more than a week ago is still there.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
Ken Johnson lives there and says he can't get the
beast to leave, so he's forced to live with it.
Johnson says he's had numerous calls with the California Department
of Fish and Wildlife. They suggested using a fan to
vent ammonia fumes into the crawl space, but Johnson fear
is what the bear might do. Thankfully, he says the
only damage so far has been to his trash can.
(05:06):
Mark Mayfield Kofi News.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I absolutely love this story. I mean, I hope nobody
gets hurt, but I love this story. And I don't
think he should do ammonia because that might be toxic
to the bear.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
We don't want him to get hurt.
Speaker 9 (05:17):
Poor bear.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
My landlord to get a nap.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I know he's getting ready for hibernation, but my neighbors
are not my neighbors. My landlords spray peppermint oil around
the house to keep the critters away. So maybe if
they did peppermint oil, maybe he wouldn't like that. And
I was spraying it yesterday and went, well, I don't
know if it's going to scare the critters away, but
it sure makes it smell like Christmas around us.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I'm gonna say it's kind anyway. I hope everybody's okay
with that bear situation.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana,
so that very fragile ceasefire between Israel and MS is
being tested.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
What's going on?
Speaker 9 (05:58):
Well, on when day Hamas operatives came out of a
tunnel in Rafa, that is in the Yellow Zone, the
area controlled by the Israeli Army, they launched an attack
on two Israeli positions, critically injuring one soldier moderately in
during three others. And then the Israeli Army carried out
(06:19):
a reprisal strike in southern southern Gaza in Han units,
targeting uh the Israeli armies as Hamas's commander there. And
this is really any a repetition of what we've seen,
you know, really since the seafire started. Every week or so,
(06:41):
there are a group of over one hundred Hamas militants
that are still in the tunnels underneath the Israeli yellow zone,
if you will, and they pop up, uh, you know,
and they launch attacks against Israeli sometimes they're trying to escape,
and they continue to be a kind of thorn in
the side of this ceasefire, testing it time and time again.
(07:05):
The good news, Amy is at this time around, the
reprisal strike by the Israelis was rather limited. That's not
to say it wasn't deadly. The Palestines are reporting at
least ten killed in Han Yunis and these strikes that
also set tents on fire near the Almawassie humanitarian zone,
(07:25):
but that was it. They were not strikes that went
on for hours and hours like we saw in previous weeks.
You know, those were prival strikes killed you know, each
one of them killed over one hundred Pilestdians. So this
was a more limited strike and now you know, we're
back to kind of square one with both sides, you know,
(07:47):
more or less keeping the seafire.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Okay, And so Jordana is this though you said that
there's there's a group or a groups that are they
pop up every once in a while, and then there's
skirmishes and then it gets quiet again.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Is this the main Hamas group or is this like
a splinter group, or do we.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
Know this is Hamas. These are fighters that never left
these tunnels when Israel and Hamas broker by the US,
signed that that peace steal, they were supposed to evacuate
these tunnels, and they stayed there, probably on purpose, but
(08:25):
some like to argue maybe they didn't know about the ceasefire.
And there's been a running dispute really between Israel the
United States about what should happen to these Hamas fighters.
Right the Trump administration has said, let them out, confiscate
their arms, and send them back to Gaza, and Israel
(08:46):
has said, these were, you know, these dozens of Hamas fighters.
We're not only holding hostages, but they were attacking Israeli
forces all through the war. And if they're going to
come out, we're not going to let them go just
right over the border, if you will, uh to the
to the Hamas controlled side of Gaza. They need to
actually go to other countries ps no one else will
(09:08):
take them. Right. So, over the last several weeks they've
been you know, they've been trying to sneak out or
launch strikes, and you know, slowly they're either escaping or
getting killed.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And then we got word that another set of remains
had been handed over to the Red Cross. Has it
been confirmed that that was one of the hostages?
Speaker 9 (09:32):
It has? And that's another piece of good news. Yes,
there were two remaining hostages in hostage bodies in Gaza,
and one this morning was positive positively identified as the
tie worker, the last foreign national. It was his body,
uh and he was an agricultural volunteer that Hamas killed
(09:55):
on October seventh. His family obviously really believed that they
will only get his body back and they can give
him a proper burial. And that leaves just one Israeli
hostage body left in Gaza, okay.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
And then Jordana.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Are we making any progress on the next phase of
the ceasefire? Is that sort of in limbo or is
it being discussed? What's going on because we haven't heard
much about it lately.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
Yeah, there's not much progress being made on the ground,
but the Trump administration, Israel, the regional allies, everyone's working
on different different parts of the next stage. Right, Some
are working on the international Security Force, the police force,
(10:40):
the new governing body. But nothing is taking hold. There's
some disputes, some talks are stalled, and I think, Amy,
we won't really see progress until President Trump turns his
gaze back on Gaza. Right now, he's obviously busy with
trying to broke our piece between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
All right, well, we will be watching and we will
check in with you again. ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem, thank.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
You so much.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Accused killer Luigi
Mangioni is due back in court in New York for
a third day of a pre trial hearing. ABC's Peter
Harralumbus says today is also one year to the day
that Mangioni allegedly stalked and gunned down United Healthcare CEO
Brian Thompson.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
His lawyers are attempting to convince the judge overseeing his
case to prohibit prosecutors from using critical evidence, including the
alleged murder weapon and Mengioni's journal.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
They argue the evidence was unlawfully seized from his backpack
without a warrant. When he was arrested. Hundreds of Border
Patrol agents have arrived in New Orleans.
Speaker 10 (11:44):
Federal agents are rounding up groups of migrant workers across
the Big Easy, where agents in unmarked vehicles have been
seen at locations where day laborers commonly gather. A Border
Patrol commander says several hundred personnel will remain in New
Orleans until the midi has accomplished. The governor wants operations
to continue through Marti gras the mayor elect is less supportive.
(12:07):
I'm rory O'Neil.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Us Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff is meeting with a top
Ukrainian official today in Miami as efforts continue to end
the war with Russia. Whitcoff's meeting with the head of
Ukraine's National Security Council comes after a five hour meeting
with Russian President Putin in Moscow this week. The Kremlin
says those talks produced no new breakthroughs, but President Trump
(12:29):
said they went reasonably well. A major point of contention
is Russia's territorial demands. President Trump is hosting the leaders
of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda to oversee
the signing of a peace deal.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
And two African nations have been fighting for years. In June,
the foreign ministers of each country signed a preliminary peace
deal and an economic pack drawn up by the US
at the White House. The Democratic Republic of Congo is
also expected to sign a minerals and infrastructure partnership with
the Trump administration. Mark Mayfield KOFI News.

that you wasted your time and attention on. Google has
just launched its YouTube Recap, which gives an overview of
a user's history over the last twelve months. It even
assigns you one of a dozen personality types based on
your viewing, including the sunshiner if you watch a lot
of positive, good vibe videos, or the skill builder if
you watch a lot of self help videos. YouTube joins

recaps on Tuesday as an answer to Spotify, which began
its look back on music called Rapped last year. Michael
Krozer KFI News.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You know what I like to watch? Raccoon videos? This
is my favorite story. Did you hear about this raccoon
the best.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It broke into a liquor store in Virginia early Sunday morning.
Don't know that it was maliciously trying to get into
the actual store. It sounds like it fell through a
ceiling tile, fell down into the store and got into
the booze and drank some whiskey and I think some scotch,
and it smashed some bottles and there was alcohol over
(14:08):
on the floor. And so when the liquor store worker
came in the next morning, she goes into the bathroom
and finds the raccoon passed out, face down next to
the toilet.
Speaker 11 (14:21):
That picture, that end of picture is the story right now.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, if you haven't seen the picture, just googled drunk
raccoon and I'm sure it's going to come in, come up.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
But it's absolutely adorable.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
They took it to an animal shelter and let it
slip it off, made sure that it wasn't hurt, and
it wasn't, and then they released it back into the wild.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
But how adorable, right, bad raccoon?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
A marine at Camp Pendleton has been killed during a
training exercise at the base. The military says the marine
died of injuries sustained in a tactical vehicle mishap yesterday afternoon.
Officials say the death was not related to Steel Night,

Monday on Base. A man from Buena Park is pleaded
(15:10):
not guilty to charges that he killed a pregnant dog
by tying a rope around her neck, attaching it to
his suv, and hitting the gas. Prosecutors say he then
got out of his suv on Monday, looked at the
dog's body, and drove away.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has been lit for the season.
Speaker 1 (15:30):

Speaker 1 (15:46):
It's handle on the news for ice next stop the
Big Easy, which is causing big anxiety for some. So
this holiday season, we're checking out different Christmas events and
activities around southern California. Some you might know of, some
you may not. Some you may have forgotten about. But
let's head out now on our Southern California sleigh ride
(16:12):
this week. We're going out and about to a very
merry little place. Now it's not Mary Farm. A few
weeks ago it was not Scary Farm. But we're out
with the Halloween and in with the holidays and here
to tell us all about it. We have producer of entertainment,
Chris Do. Thanks for having us.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Out today, Cooly, We're happy to have you here. Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
So I love the vibe of Notts Mary Farm. So
tell us like, when people come in, what are they
going to feel, what are they going to see? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Absolutely, the moment they walk in.
Speaker 11 (16:45):
I mean you're seeing it right now is a beautiful
entrance statement that's brand new this year that our guests
can expect when they come in here, and then once
they go into ghost Town in all of our wonderful areas,
it is that hometown feel of Christmas just everywhere.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And that's one of the things that's so cool about
not Mary Farm is you feel like you're going back,
well kind of into the Old West, but it's got
such a homey and rustic feel. And I just like
I said, I love the vibe because it's very different
than a lot of other places in southern Californa.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
As you walk through ghost Town, you see the Christmas
crafters that we have that are here just for not
smary far. There's all these wonderful crafts, and then at
nighttime we have snow.
Speaker 12 (17:24):
Right.
Speaker 11 (17:24):
So you're sitting here seeing these wonderful crafters, you see
this old West feel and then all of a sudden
it starts as snow and it really brings families together,
and it's this wonderful.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Tradition that we have here. Okay, So tell me about
the Christmas crafters.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
It's sort of like your own little mini and Christmas market, right, because.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
There's a lot of them.
Speaker 11 (17:38):
Yes, So we have Christmas crafters all over ghosts Hown
selling things from clothes to woodwork to a glass where
that's being made here. So a variety of different wonderful
Christmas items that will have our Christmas crafters. That happens
every day here that we have it not's very far, okay.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And then the whole park is decorated. So if you're ridy,
if you're thinking, I need to get in the spare
of the Holidays is a great place.
Speaker 11 (18:02):
The whole park is just Christmas decked out. Of course,
we have our shows that we have talk about the
show absolutely so we have of course our waternot theater show,
Snoopy's Night before Christmas. We have our ice show that
we have so that runs inside the water out theater.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
We have an ice show with Snoopy.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
Of course that's all Snoopy's Night before Christmas, but of
course it's on ice. We have an air list that
flies over the audience. That's beautiful out there and then
over the Calculm mid stage.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
We have Home for the Holidays.
Speaker 11 (18:27):
Which is a musical spectacular and it follows the Harper
family as they prepare for Christmas in our Christmas traditions
of full cast of singers.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
And dancers is beautiful of the calcul Mind stage.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, now let's talk about the Christmas Tree because it's
a new tree this year.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
The Christmas Tree is brand new this year. We have
some new decorations on it. We have a larger stage
that it just looks absolutely beautiful. And on top of
that we have our nightly Christmas Tree lighting that we
have singers dancers that come out and help us light
the tree every night at about five fifteen and it
is a beautiful new tree. We just put it up
and we're very excited to share with our guests.
Speaker 12 (19:00):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
And it wouldn't be the holidays if there wasn't special
holiday menu items, So you want to share with me
a couple of.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
Just about all of our locations have a special menu.
I will tell you my personal favorite, as someone who
grew up even a lot of Rice Krispy treats. Over
the ghost Town Grill, we have adulta d leche rice
Krispye tree that is just abasing.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
You might have to get there.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, then here's the other one, and I will tell
you I cheated. I went to Google and I said, Google,
what's some of the best foods.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
At Notts Mary Farm? And there is.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
A turkey stuffing corn dog.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
We are having that.
Speaker 11 (19:36):
Tonight, yes, strictly on a stick. That's actually my favorite.
It is turkey corn dog and instead of the batter,
we use us some stuffing in it. So you get
the best of both worlds. You get what you need
to have at theme park, a corn dog, and then
you have stuffing which brings the holiday together. So it's
a perfect melt together over Trickley and the steak.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Okay, holiday's going on now through now.
Speaker 11 (19:53):
It's going to be going on now through January fourth,
and we always have our season passes available. If you
purchase it now, you'll be able to get the rest
of this year and then next to your freeze.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Well okay, and where do we get more information?
Speaker 11 (20:02):
You can go to notts dot com to get more
information on these details and all of particular information.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
The holidays have arrived at not Mary Farm and that
is where we are out and about for our Southern
California sleigh ride.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Christo, thanks so much, waterful see you oh ho ho
so lovely, so lovely at not Mary Farm.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And if you again, if you want to get in
the Christmas mood, that's a really cool place to go.
I mean it just feels so homey and rustic and lovely.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
And I will tell you the biggest disappointment we had
is that Anna and I were running around.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
We went we saw the Christmas tree lighting, which is cool.
They have a new tree and it's beautiful. We saw
the snow and they really turn on the snow. It's
really fun and people go crazy for it. And then
we ran over right before the park closed because it
closes pretty early. Right now on weekdays, they're going to
extend hours as we get closer to Christmas. We ran
over to go get that turkey hot dog on a
(20:57):
stick that's covered in stuff thing, and the little stand
was closed, so we didn't get to have it, and
we were so looking forward to it. I might have
to go back down there just to get it because
it sounds that good. But you can check out more
of our escapades and on my Instagram at Amy K
(21:18):

it up on the KFI Instagram as well. And also,

with him a little bit, and we got to see Sally,
so they have the characters out.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
It's just it's lovely.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
So it's not Can you still eat at certain certain
restaurants without going into the park?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Are there things you can do outside of the park.

for that. I'm not sud I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

Time to Get in Your Business Now with Bloomberg's Denise
Pelagreney Morning, Denise.
Speaker 12 (27:09):
I can't believe you admitted that in public. I know,
it's shocking.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
I know a piece of America love I probably think
I think you would. It's really amazing. Yeah, that's what
I mean. Everybody said it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I just I don't know why I never started it,
and so I didn't. I didn't want to join kind
of midway.
Speaker 12 (27:27):
So yeah, I didn't either. And then my husband wanted
to watch it again and he made me sit down
and watch you know, all of them, and it's like
it's like an American novel.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Okay, well, you know that's the beauty of the stream.
I can go back and I can binge it now.
Speaker 12 (27:42):
Yeah, now you can see all those things you didn't
want to see do Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Well, you know what, And I like to binge shows
because I'm tired and I want to just lay on
the couch.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
And apparently I'm not alone. I'm with you. I was
leading you into your first story.
Speaker 12 (27:57):
So which one was it? The one about the mec
the macaroni and cheese? It about Americans being tired about Americans?
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Yeah, good cat one. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (28:07):
So apparently people are so tired amy of doing chores
and they just want to sit on the couch and
they're really willing to pay for this, which is the
business part of the story. People paying two thousand dollars
for a washer dryer combo that does a load of
laundry in under two hours, you know, just set and
forget it. Also, a seventeen hundred dollars oven that claims
to make a restaurant quality pizza at home in two minutes.
(28:29):
And this is the one I love. An eighteen hundred
dollars styler closet that, with the press of a button,
deodorizes steams and lightly dries your clothing, hopefully dries it
all the way.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (28:41):
It sounds a little funky to me and kind of
cheap eighteen hundred dollars for all that, But apparently you
can have the closet wash your clothes.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Okay, all right, if you got the money for it. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
So now let's talk about Craft's Mac and cheese box
sell out.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
I did a story about this last week.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
Oh my gosh. So you know, people love mac and cheese.
We've talked about this before. And Walmart had this new deal,
never seen before, sixty five inch box of mac and
cheese with sixty five smaller boxes in it, you know,
the meals boxes. They sold them on Black Friday at
a seventy five percent discount compared to if you bought
(29:20):
them individually. Serious discount, right, USA Today says they sold
out in under an hour, all of them that they
had in stock, of course, even though they they went
on sale at midnight, so people were either staying up
to do this or anyway all gone. And now the
big talk is will they get more? And Walmart isn't saying,
(29:40):
but people keep checking hoping that these come back on
the market.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Well, and it was a bargain.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
It was only like nineteen dollars and seventy cents or
something crazy.
Speaker 12 (29:48):
Yes, yeah, and it's mac and cheese, which delicious, okay
for breakfast this morning?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
All right, So a lot of people are ordering stuff
on Amazon. It comes right through the post office, but.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
It might not much longer.
Speaker 12 (30:01):
Yeah, I mean, this is a crazy thing. It's a
huge part of the post office business. Amazon is their
top customer. They give them more than what six billion
dollars in an annual revenue. This could really be disaster
for the male agency if it happens. Wall Street Journal
Washington Post rather says Amazon is considering cutting ties with
(30:21):
the USPS Postal Service already posting those multi billion dollar
losses in nine of the past ten years. Having once
worked for the post Office, I can vouch in person
that they're just not that efficient.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
So okay, getting in your business with Bloombergston East Pellegriny
like we do every day.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Have a great table. Talk to you tomorrow too.
Speaker 1 (30:44):

be able to see the full moon. It's a supermoon,
the last one of the year. Also, I wanted you
to check out my Instagram.
Speaker 4 (30:55):

so cal sleigh ride down to Buena Park and checked
out the traditional lovely offerings at notts Mary Farm.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
So cute actually.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
And there was a question about whether you can still
go to restaurants Atknttsberry Farm without going into the park.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
I think that was Will asking maybe Kono. But yes,
you can still eat at the restaurant outside of Knotsbury Farm,
that delicious retisserie Chicken. Oh yeah, it's open. You can
go there without any ticket.

is serious stuff. Let's say good morning now to ABC's
Jim Ryan. Jim, as has happened in several other cities
around the US. A federal immigration operation is underway in
(32:45):
the Big Easy, and it's making some people very uneasy.
Speaker 18 (32:50):
It is, yes, the immigration rights attorneys, immigration actors. There
have been protests there in advance of this movie. They
can agree on a name for this thing. People around
here have been calling it Operation Swamp Sweep. But according
to the Department of Homeland Security, it was never called that.
It's Operation Cattahula crunchsh In.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
It's it's well.
Speaker 18 (33:11):
The catta Hula leopard Dog is the state dog of Louisiana.
The catta Hula is a parish up north. It's nowhere
really near New Orleans or Baton Rouge. It's in the
north central part of the state. So that's according to
the DHS, what it's actually called, Operation Cattahula Crunch. So
fight said to say that ICE agents started arriving in
(33:31):
New Orleans yesterday. They'll fan out. They began their work
in Cannera, a suburb a little to the west of
New Orleans yesterday. This will be going on for several months,
perhaps no telling really how many agents are coming here.
Two hundred to two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Perhaps, Okay, and I had heard that the mayor of
New Orleans isn't so happy about this, but that the
governor of Louisiana is okay with it.
Speaker 18 (33:59):
Yeah, exactly, and maybe the only state in the country
where the governor has actually asked for this kind of
enforcement action to come in. So you know, he's like
minded with Donald Trump, and he asked this to happen.
So they're sending in these ICE agents into New Orleans,
which is led by a Democratic mayor. She takes office
(34:19):
next month. The mayor and the police she both have
been troubled. They say, Okay, these people are coming, The
ICE agents are going to be here. They have asked
that those agents not wear balaklavas or coverings over their faces,
and that they wear their uniforms when they do this work.
The concern is that in Louisiana you can carry a
gun without any permit at all. And if some stranger
(34:42):
bangs on the door and a person with a gun
opens that door, and here's this person covered, you know,
looking like Robert almost, somebody's going to get hurt. So
that's kind of the concern, okay.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
And then another concern is that while DHS says it's
going after the worst of the worst.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
People say that other are getting caught up too.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Do we have any kind of numbers on like the
percentage of the really bad guys or is DHS releasing
any of that.
Speaker 18 (35:11):
DHS put out a statement on its own saying that
about seventy percent of the people who have been taken
into custody are facing charges other than just being in
the country illegally, so they've either been charged or convicted
of some other crime. So that's seventy percent. Some immigration
rights activists say the number is much lower than that.
That a lot of people who haven't committed a crime
(35:34):
other than being in the country illegally are being caught
up in this. So again it's hard to get firm numbers.
But DHS says one thing, and others are saying something else.
The City of New Orleans, by the way, put out
or created a website yesterday, Amy, and it's a place
where you can upload video of quote possible abuse or
(35:54):
misconduct by federal immigration officials. So I mean that tells
you I think sort of my set that separates ICE
agents from the local police or local city council when
it comes to this.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, we've got that here too, where they've got like
a tip line or something.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Like that, any idea where they're going to go next.
Speaker 18 (36:17):
Which, no, there's no telling. Really, there may be a
similar request, you know, considering that. Okay, Jeff Landry, the
governor of Louisiana, Republican, conservative Republican and a friend of
Donald Trump, requested this to go into a city that's
run by Democrats taxes, Maybe next Texas led by a
conservative Republican governor. Several of the cities are run by
(36:40):
or governed by perceived Democrats. These are nonpartisan elections here
in Texas, but I think by and large people know
what the party is of the mayor of Austin. After all,
he'd served in the state legislature for a long time.
So it could be Texas, could be somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
All right, well, we'll be watching ABC's Jim Ryan. Thank
you so much for the information.
Speaker 18 (37:00):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
All right, hey, a quick update.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
We were just telling you that San Diego Congressman darryl
Isa had talked about possibly moving to Texas to run
for a seat because his district has been redrawn here
in California.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
But apparently that is not happening.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Darryl Isa says he is going to still run for
Congress in California, not in Texas. A doctor who pleaded
guilty to selling ketamine to Matthew Perry weeks before the
actor overdosed has been sentenced to two and a half
years in prison. Maybe sees Alex Stone says doctor Salvador
Placentia apologized yesterday before he was led away in handcuffs.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
He actually spoke directly to Matthew Perry's family and he
cried and they cried, making eye contact where he said
I am sorry, and he took responsibility for this, saying
that he had done wrong.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
The judge stress that Placentia did not provide the actual
ketamine that killed Perry, but said that he helped feed
the addiction. More than a million fentanyl pills the bit
and seized by Deea Jensen La. The DEA says the
seizure that happened back in October comes as the drug
cartels increased trafficking of fentanyl powder and production of fentanyl pills.
(38:11):
House Democrats have released footage of Jeffrey Epstein's private Caribbean
island where he allegedly exploited a young women and Girls.
ABC's Aaron Katirsky says it's part of the Democrats push
to have all the Epstein files released.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Congress passed and President Trump signed a law requiring the
Justice Department to release the records within thirty days.
Speaker 9 (38:30):
There are just two weeks left.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
A lawyer for Epstein's co conspirator, Gallaane Maxwell, says she
will soon file a petition challenging her sex trafficking conviction.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walls is under pressure to resign over
a corruption investigation. The New York Times published an investigation
last week on fraud allegedly committed by Somali immigrants on
Minnesota's social services system. House speaker Mike Johnson says it
(38:56):
is staggering.
Speaker 8 (38:57):
Tom Emmer, of course, is from Minnesota, and he tells
us that it maybe as much as two billion dollars
in frouder Minnesota, and Tim Watts has a lot to
answer for.
Speaker 18 (39:05):
Congress has a lot of interest in this.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Well says he supports investigating and prosecuting crime, but says
targeting immigrants isn't a real solution. President Trump is rolling
back fuel economy standards for American automakers.
Speaker 19 (39:17):
Trump announced lowering standards set by the Biden administration that
require passenger cars and light trucks to have a field
efficiency of around fifty miles a gallon by twenty thirty one.
Speaker 18 (39:26):
People want the gasoline car.
Speaker 10 (39:28):
They won everything.
Speaker 9 (39:29):
They want electric, they won any they won a half,
lots of alternatives, but they do want the gasoline car.
Speaker 19 (39:35):
Crum says the old standards will only jack up the
price of vehicles and was a move to force American
families to buy higher price DV cars and trucks. Automakers
are applauding Trump, with top executives from Ford, General Motors
and Stilantis on hand for the announcement. Tammy Triho KFI News.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
And Miguel Rowjas will retire a Dodger, but not quite Yes,
he just signed a one year deal with the world
champion team. A game tying home run in Game seven
that took the Dodgers into extra innings and eventually led
to the Dodgers clinching the World Series win. Rojas says
he will retire after the twenty twenty six season. This
