Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call
with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's time for your morning wake up call.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Here's Amy King.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
It's five o'clock, straight up. This is your wake up
call for Monday, December fifteenth. Good morning, I'm Amy King.
I was ready to be all jumping and bouncy and happy. Today.
It's a tough start to the day, but we're still
going to get through it. We'll get you all the
information you need and we'll still manage to, you know,
(00:50):
have a good time because it does need to be
a good day, because it's ten days till Christmas. I
spent Saturday at Disneyland getting in the Christmas spirit. That
always works on a Saturday. You went on a Saturday night,
I will tell you, Bill Handle would not have been
happy a Disneyland on Saturday. It was more crowded on
Saturday than I've seen it in a long long time.
(01:12):
So we did a lot of wandering around. We didn't
do rides. We just wandered around, did a little shopping
and it was just beautiful. Also, on your morning commute
and we'll keep you up to date on this. I
hit pea soup like it was so thick. The fog
was crazy. And then you come out of it and
it's clear and beautiful and you go, oh, okay, it's
(01:33):
not so bad. But it's really thick in some spots.
It was foggy yesterday in the valley, just thick.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Well today when I got into the valley it wasn't.
But down in the city, you know, like before you
make that turn onto the one thirty four, it was.
It was thick, thick, thick, So be careful and slow
down a little bit because you cannot see. Cannot see,
all right, let's get to it. Also, we're gonna be
talking about Rob Reiner a lot today, and I was thinking,
(02:00):
and if you have something to say about it, would
love to hear about it from you on the talkback
if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app. I've got a
list of some of the movies that he was behind,
and I'm just like, oh, I forgot about that one.
I forgot about that one. I mean, just an amazingly,
amazingly talented man. So if you have anything to say
about that, maybe your favorite movie, your thoughts about it.
(02:20):
We'd love to hear from you on the talkback. You
can hit us up. It's the little microphone in the
upper right hand corner of the app. Here's what's ahead
on wake Up Call course. Director and actor Rob Reiner
and his wife Michelle have been found stabbed to death
in their home in Brentwood. TMZ says LA Fire paramedics
were called at the scene yesterday afternoon about three forty
and found the bodies of a seventy eight year old
(02:40):
man and a sixty eight year old woman inside. Their
son is apparently a person of interest. ABC's Mike Dbusky's
going to join us in just a couple of minutes
with all the latest on that investigation. Also, we're expecting
a press conference, I believe at about seven o'clock. We'll
bring that to you live here on KFI. Extra Securities
in place around Jewish places of worship followowing the mass
shooting at Bondai Beach in Australia. Two shooters believed to
(03:05):
be a father and a son, killed at least fifteen
people who were celebrating the first day of Hanukkah. It's
being called a targeted anti Semitic attack. LA mayor bass
once another four years. The mayor announced on Saturday she's
running for mayor of La again in twenty twenty six.
Housing activist Ray Huang, a former LA School superintendent Austin Buner,
(03:27):
and longtime city employee Asad Al Najar are also running
for the office. Of course, there were two mass shootings
over the weekend, the one in Australia and then also
the one at Brown University in Rhode Island. We're going
to get the latest from Providence with ABC's Rena Roy
at five point twenty. And on a happier note, the
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is always a great place to visit,
(03:48):
and this Christmas it's even more special. We're going to
tell you why you might want to make a trip
up to Simi Valley to see that. Let's get started
with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Director Rob Reiner and his wife
Michelle were found murdered in their home in Brentwood. The
bodies were found yesterday afternoon. LAPD spokesman Alan Hamilton said
(04:09):
last night investigators were not looking for a person considered
a suspect or a person of interest.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Now, when I tell you that we have not identified
a suspect, it doesn't mean that we're not working the case.
We will not identify a suspect until that person is
identified as a suspect and we're legally seeking them.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
He says. Investigators will be interviewing a lot of family members.
People magazine reported that Reiner's thirty two year old son
is a suspect in the deaths. Governor Newsom said in
a statement that he and his wife are heartbroken over
the murders of Reiner and his wife statements as Reiner's
boundless empathy made his stories timeless, teaching generations how to
see goodness and righteousness in others and encouraging us to
(04:50):
dream bigger. Any remaining National Guard troops in La need
to be removed by today, under a judge's order from
last week that the deployment was unlawful and must end.
The Trump administration appealed the December tenth ruling, but late Friday,
a federal appellate court upheld the lower court order. About
one hundred National Guard members remain deployed in the city
following violence that broke out during immigration protests. In June.
(05:14):
LA Mayor Bass officially has launched her bid for a
second term. At a rally downtown over the weekend, she
said the city has made progress but still faces big challenges,
especially with housing and affordability. She did acknowledge the year
has been a tough one started in tragedy, but we
stood together.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
We stood together.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
To help those Angelinos who lost their homes and their communities.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Bass is facing several challengers again, as I mentioned, including
former LA School Chief Austin Butner. The election will be
held June second. Please say good morning too, ABC's Mike Dubusky. Mike,
a tough news that Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle
have been killed in their home in Brentwood.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
That's absolutely right, Amy, So Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle,
they were found dead yesterday, as you said, at their
home in Brentwood. This all played out starting around three
point thirty pm on the West coast. That's when the
Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at a
home belonging to Reiner, and the fire department found two
dead bodies there. Initially, authorities only released the ages of
(06:22):
those individuals seventy eight and sixty eight but those are
the ages of Robin Michelle Reiner, so people were pretty
quick to put together what was going on. The family
later overnight confirmed that these were indeed the identity of
the two dead bodies. Eventually, the police were brought in
to respond, and now sources are telling ABC News that
the robbery and homicide units within the LAPD are investigating
(06:44):
the incident. Sources also tell ABC that the bodies appear
to have been stabbed. They have not said anything with
regard to a motive or a timeline for this attack.
We don't know of any suspects or people of interest
or anything like that, but amy one thing is for certain,
Hollywood is very much in shock this morning, as Rob
Reiner was really just an enormous figure in that industry.
(07:06):
And as evidence of that, sources tell ABC News that
both Billy Crystal and Larry David showed up to Reiner's
house last night to pay their respects. Crystal was said
that he looked to be near tears.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, and you're saying that there's no official suspects, but
People magazine and the other outlets are reporting that his son,
who's thirty two years old, is at least a person
of interest and is being questioned.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, at the moment, that appears to just be a
People magazine report. ABC News has not confirmed that. We're
not saying that the context there is that their son
did struggle with alcohol and drug abuse. In fact, Reiner
and his son co wrote a movie in some way
documenting that struggle with their family and you know, with
(07:52):
just the son's own troubles. Yeah, it was called I
believe it was called Becoming Charlie. Excuse me, it's called
Being Charlie as a film that came out about a
decade ago or so. But again, ABC can't confirm that
People magazine report. It's certainly out there, but that's a
piece of this as well.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, and it's so tragically and you know, we hear
this all the time, Mike, but of you know, the
children of rich parents or famous parents and the struggles
that they have. We just talked to Adam Nimoy, Leonard
Nimoy's son not too long ago, and they had a
lot of struggles and there was drug addiction and and
all of that stuff. They luckily came through it. But
(08:34):
you hear about it and it just breaks your heart
because you think, wow, all these people. They've got such
great lives and they're famous, and they do these wonderful things,
but there's there's a lot of there's a lot of
darkness in there.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Unfortunately, Yeah, so so much money and you know, even
still can't address some of the darker elements of humanity
that crop up, certainly, but yeah, that that is, that's
kind of where we are at, at least with the
investigation into this. Of course, Rob Briiner, it's tough to
run into a person who doesn't have some sort of
interaction with Rob Reiner his work. He was born in
(09:07):
here in New York City in nineteen forty seven. First
entered the entertainment world at the Bucks County Playhouse in Pennsylvania,
which is like two towns over from where I grew up.
He got to start on the show wagon train in
the early sixties, but then kind of really broke out
all in the family. He was meathead yep. Of course
he's the sort of unemployed guy. He's like perpetual thorn
(09:28):
in the side to Archie Bunker. For that role, he
won two Emmy Awards and five Golden Globes. And then
of course there's his movies, right, both starring in and
directing things like This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride,
stand By Me, Misery, a Few Good Men, and of
course there is no list of Rob Reiner's career that
is not complete without When Harry Met Sally, which many
considered to be the best, if not, it was just
(09:51):
one of the best romantic comedies ever made.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Still one of my very favorites. Yeah. I was just
kind of perusing things and I completely forgot about Spinal Tap,
which is also just hysterical.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And he directed the sequel which came out this year,
so you know it's still working even into his late seventies.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, and he was supposed to be at a panel.
They were doing an evening with Rob Reiner and Palm
Springs this week. I mean, he's, like you said, he's
still very active. So just really tragic. Thank you for
the update, And as I mentioned too to wake Up
Call listeners, it looks like we're going to have a
press conference, probably right around seven o'clock. That's always fluid,
(10:30):
but we'll bring it to you here live. We'll hopefully
get an update, all right, Mike Dubuski, thank you so much.
Of course, the information appreciate it. Just so sad and
man like the Princess Bride classic. He's not dead, he's
mostly dead. I mean, just like the it's his talent
is amazing. Here's my here's my run in with Rob Reiner.
(10:51):
We were leaving a Dodgers game, and of course traffic's
gridl like gridlocked in the parking lot, and we're all
trying to like get through this one point. And so
I got out of the car and said, I'm sorry,
can we sneak over here in front of you? And
it was Rob Renner and he was like, oh, yeah,
that's fine. He's like, hey, what are you guys doing? Afterward?
I mean, so anyway, he was very nice, nothing but charming.
(11:14):
So very sad news. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
We're not done with the sad news yet.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Destrians have had their lives cruelly stalin and many have
been injured.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanize says an attack that killed
at least fifteen people during a Honika celebration at Bandai
Beach was pure evil.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
An act of evil anti Semitism, terrorism that has struck
the heart about nashen.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Billy shot the suspected father and son attackers. The older
man died at the scene. Albani says the twenty four
year old son is in a coma. The Prime Minister
also said the son had been investigated by the country's
primary intelligence agency in twenty nineteen, reportedly overlinks to a
suspected ISIS cell in Sydney, but was found not to
(12:05):
be a security threat. Authorities in LA and Riverside County
say patrols have been increased at Jewish facilities in Hanukah
events because of the deadly attack in Australia. The LAPED said, well,
no known threat to Los Angeles is there. The department
remains vigilant and committed to protecting its diverse communities. Riverside
police say they would be driving by locations of interest
(12:26):
throughout the city. Tensions between the US and Venezuela on
the rise after the US seized and oil tanker, sanctioned
six others and sent troops to the region. Democratic Senator
Mark Warner from Virginia tails ABC he has not been
briefed on President Trump's goals despite serving on the Senate
Intelligence Committee.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Well, you'd think as a member of the so called
Gang of Eight, where we're supposed to be brief on everything,
I would have the answer to that.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I do not know what this president's goal visa Vive
Venezuela is.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Republican Senator Mike Turner from Ohio, also on the committee,
said the Trump administration doesn't want to show its hand
as the increase in pressure happens on Venezuela. A new
NBC News Decision Desk poll shows forty two percent of
voters approve of President Trump's job performance, fifty eight percent disapprove.
(13:15):
Experts say this represents growing concern about the economy and inflation.
As we've been telling you. Police are investigating the deaths
of actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle.
Their bodies were found inside their home in Brentwood yesterday afternoon.
The Reiner's thirty two year old son is apparently being questioned,
but no arrests have been made. A man who police
(13:36):
say set a house on fire in Riverside County has
been shot and killed by Sheriff's deputies. Sheriff's deputies were
called to the home in Moreno Valley yesterday after being
told that a man at the back of the house
was trying to set a fire inside. Woodburning not allowed
today across the Southland because of poor air quality. The
Southern California AQMD says indoor and outdoor burning is banned
(13:59):
through today. Homes that rely solely on wood burning for
heat are exempt at six so five it Tammel on
the News, Ukraine's Zelenski says he's willing to give up
on NATO, but is not willing to give up his land.
Let's say good morning to ABC's Rena Roy, who's in Providence,
Rhode Island. Rena, we had a person of interest who
(14:21):
was detained, but that person has been released, So can
you give us the latest on their efforts to find
the shooter and also the shooting at Brown University.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
Yeah, any quite the turn of events. Police announced in
Oppressor last night around eleven that the person of interest
that they had detained was released. It was that there
was some evidence that led them to that person, including
a tip that led them to a nearby Hampton in
about twenty miles from where this shooting took place at Brown.
According to our sources, it was a man in his
mid twenties from Wisconsin, but Pelisse they later realized they
(14:53):
didn't have their guide. The mayor said last night, you know,
the under fans is probably has caused some renewed anxiety
for the community, but that they're doing what they can.
They're continuing this investigation and trying to find whoever is responsible,
and they say that there are no specific threats to
this community.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Okay, so Walker's back, because this happened on Saturday, which
was sort of a weird time for students to be
in class, and they were at an engineering building and
where on campus was it and what happened that we know?
Speaker 9 (15:26):
Yeah, so this was really just in the heart of
campus and the Baress and Holly Engineering building, as you mentioned,
the first call sort of coming in just after four pm,
and as you said, it was a Saturday, but there
was a study session going on and right now final
exams are underway. So ABC News did get a chance
to speak with a senior who was leading that study session,
and he kind of walked us through the really terrifying
(15:49):
moments that this gunman came in. He said that, you know,
suddenly they heard gunshots, they saw the gunment come in
dressed in black. He yelled something he didn't the student
didn't understand what the gunman said that he immediately started shooting,
and he ended up next to one of the victims
who was shot in the leg. And from there they
just stayed put. There were announcements over the loud speakers
(16:11):
to shelter in place. There was a lockdown on campus
for hours until police evacuated and made sure everybody was safe.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Okay, And was the shooting isolated to that one classroom.
Speaker 9 (16:24):
So at this point we're still learning to detail exactly
of the movements of the shooter, but we do know
that I think some people might have been shot outside,
but most of the victims were inside the classroom.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Okay. And do we know and I know that two
students were killed, nine people are hurt. Were they all students?
Speaker 9 (16:45):
All students?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (16:47):
And we are told the last update we got from
help officials is that six are critical but stable condition,
one is fully stable, and one was released from the hospital.
And we actually got an identity of one of the
victims who was killed, Ella Cook, a Brown student and
a parishioner at a church in Alabama. That church's reverend
actually announced her death in his Sunday service. He called
(17:08):
her an incredibly grounded, generous, faithful person and a bright
light in the church and in her community.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And obviously it's because we don't have a shooter in custody.
They're not talking about a motive or are there any
rumblings about why this person shot up this classroom.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
I mean, at this point, that really is a big question.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Right.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
We don't police say that they don't have their guide,
they don't have the suspect. They do know that they
are looking for somebody that they think might be the
shooter that was seen in surveillance video walking on campus
that was released. That video was released this weekend, and
they believe that is the person they're looking for, but
so far, no official suspect that they have said, no
(17:52):
official motive, but it seems like they're casting a wide net.
But the mayor said, there's just no way of knowing
if the person responsible has even left the date.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah. Well, and it's got to be unnerving too for
a small town that you're just like, Okay, there's a
guy with a gun and we know that he's not
afraid to use it and he's just out there, so all.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Right, Yeah, I mean They addressed that in the cross
conference last night, like you know, look, there is going
to be renewed anxiety in this community, but they are
stressing that there are no specific threats to the community.
The mayor was on Good Morning America this morning and
said that they have not received any specific calls about
violence to the community, you know, but they have increased
(18:30):
police presence on campus today as this investigation continues.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
All right, ABC's Rihena Roy in Providence, Rhode Island. Thanks
so much for the update. Appreciate it, Thank you, all right.
The Department of Homeland Security says more than ten thousand
arrests have been made around Los Angeles since immigration enforcement
operations began in June. Officials say those arrests include people
accused of murder, kidnapping, sexual assault, and armed carjacking. DHS
(18:55):
has not specified how many of those detained have prior
criminal records or how many have been deported. Closing arguments
are set for this morning in the lawsuit against the
Angels alleging the wrongful death of pitcher Tyler Skaggs. He
died of a drug overdose during a road trip in
twenty nineteen. He got the drugs from former communications director
Eric Kaye, who's now serving time in prison. The lawsuit
(19:17):
alleges negligence in the way the team supervised kay The
trial started in early October. A woman suing composer Danny
Elfman for defamation wants a judge to toss out his
countersuit for fraud. Pianist Nomi Abodi's lawyers say Elfman's claim
is just a breach of contract issue. Dressed up as fraud,
(19:37):
Elfman accuses a Body of hiding her role in a
Rolling Stone article about her past harassment, allegations which he
says violated their settlement deal. A Body denies wrongdoing and
says Elfman's public comments damaged her career. A judge had
previously told Elfman to revise his complaint. The cases now
on hold due to his appeal. Governor Newsom has taken
(20:01):
the spotlight at the DNC's winter meetings.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Reports from inside the Democratic National Committee winter meetings in
Los Angeles say news was the showstopper. People there say
they watched as people mobbed him to take selfies while
walking the floor. Newsom reportedly met with the DNC chair
in private, as well as the party chairs from early
voting states of Nevada and New Hampshire. Most political analysts
(20:24):
believe that Newsom is running for president. He just hasn't
made it official yet. Jason Campedonia KFI News.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
The City of Bray has been cracking down on residents
who don't put their trash in the right trash can
city officials set on social media. Random inspections of residence
trash bins is ongoing and people need to make sure
their garbage is going into the right can. City officials
say putting materials in the wrong container can cause problems
with contamination, especially with items that are recycled. Trash bin
(20:55):
violators can expect tickets starting at fifty dollars. People are
being advised to maintain heightened situational awareness when attending religious
services or community gatherings. That's the warning that comes following
a mass shooting in Australia that's been called a targeted
attack against Jewish people. On the first day of Hanukkah,
politicals are still being or politicians rather still be encouraged
(21:18):
to celebrate the holiday proudly. President Trump has offered his
condolences to the victims of the mass shooting at Brown
University in Rhode Island, which and also the targeted anti
Semitic shooting that left fifteen people dead and forty others
injured at a beach in Australia. If a billion dollars
(21:39):
isn't enough for you, got good news. No one won
the one billion dollar jackpot in Saturday night's Powerball drawing,
So tonight's drawing is worth an estimated one point one
billion dollars. Okay, I'm going to do that. Okay, that's
the threshold you're jumping in. Okay. At six oh five,
it's handle on the news. Times running out for Congress
to stop a big spike in healthcare premium for about
(22:00):
twenty million people. Here's what's coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour news from director Rob Reiner and his
wife Michelle have been found murdered inside their home in Brentwood, LA.
Fire paramedics were called to the home yesterday afternoon. They
reportedly found the couple with stab wounds. LAPD spokesman Alan
Hamilton said last night investigators were waiting on a warrant
(22:21):
to get inside the home.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
At this time.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
The Los Angeles Police Department is not seeking anyone as
a suspect. Or as a person of interest or in
any other manner, and we will not be doing that
until we conduct our investigation.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Now we move forward, he said. Family members will be interviewed.
People Magazine says Reiner's thirty two year old son is
suspected in the deaths. They also say it was the
couple's daughter who found the bodies. The six people hurt
when a house in Hayward exploded are expected to survive.
The house in the Bay Area blew up on Thursday.
All six have been in the hospital since the explosion,
(22:54):
one of them pretty badly burned. Ring doorbell video shows
the house completely leveled. PG and E says it's still
investigating what caused that explosion. The Cruz had when been
working in the area and had apparently damaged some gas lines.
The guests had been turned off about ten minutes before
the explosion. A court battle over Prop fifty gets underway
(23:15):
today in court. Lawyers foreign against the voter approved measure
to let lawmakers redraw district maps will be arguing in
front of a three judge panel of the US Central
District Court of California. Republicans are suing Governor Newsom and
the Secretary of State, saying the new maps favor Latinos
and other racial groups and that's not constitutional. Newsom backed
(23:37):
Prop fifty, saying it was his way of trying to
stop Republicans from stealing the next election by redrawing maps
to favor Republicans In Texas, another horses died at the
Los Alamitos racetrack. The four year old colt had nine
first place finishes in his twelve career races. He collapsed
shortly after finishing Saturday's eighth race and was utianized. Scientists
(23:59):
say polar bears are changing their DNA to survive climate change.
Speaker 10 (24:03):
New research finds warming Arctic conditions are triggering genetic changes
in polar bears, a first documented case of rising temperatures
driving DNA shifts in a mammal. To say it's a
desperate adaptation as sea ice disappears. They say it offers
a small window of hope if carbon emissions are reduced.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Heather Broker o k if I News time to get
in your business, as we do every morning at five
point forty with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegreny. Good morning, Denise, Hey,
good morning to you. Amy.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
I want to start with the job cuts and the
consulting business just quickly. Sources say bosses at McKinsey have
ied cutting about ten percent a headcount across non client
facing departments. That could mean thousands of cuts and also
problems in the smart vacuum business.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Rumba maker iBOT.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Has filed for eye Robot rather has filed for bankruptcy.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
They'll go private.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
They've been struggling with supply chain issues and a lot
of cheaper competitors from China and elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I want a roomba, I know.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
And if you've seen the videos of the cats that
jump on the room button ride around, I mean I
could watch those hundreds and hundreds of times and not
get board.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Well, maybe the problem is, DENISEAI, we're all watching those
videos and we're not going out and actually buying the
room bus that is, or we're trying to and there's
supply issues, or we're thinking about riding them ourselves. I
don't know. Yeah, so they're not going away, they're going
into bankruptcy and trying to regroup.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Right then there'll be a private company. Just means you
won't be able to buy the stock.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Okay, So mortgage rates could be about to come down,
which would make sense since there was just an interest
rate cut.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Yeah, and it's not only that, because when you take
out a mortgage, that loan, the money that you pay
back that's all usually bundled with other loans and sold
by the lender, whoever that is a bank or some
private lender, often to mortgage giants Fanny Mae and Freddie Mack.
They buy those loans a lot of them. And now
Fanny and Freddie are increasing the amount of loans they
own and could even boost the loan buying activity more
(25:58):
from here, that couldn't buy our mortgage lenders that you
borrow the money from to boost their lending, and that'll
cut mortgage rates in the race for home buyer business.
So not just interest rates, but another big reason why
we could see mortgage rates really drop. I mean, could
be quite a spring selling season if that happens.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Okay, and you mentioned that Fanny May and Freddie Mack
are going to do more. Is that from a directive
from the Trump administration or anything.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Or.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Well, it's happening because they want to go public and
this juices their own business and it makes their numbers
look better as they sort of decouple. Theoretically, the talk
is from the government and become these private entity companies,
so they have a bottom line reason for doing this,
but also conveniently could make it way easier to get
(26:48):
a nice low mortgage rate.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Okay, cool, Christmas music is not just fun to listen to,
it's also a cash cow. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
I was in Whole Foods like a week and a
half before Thanksgiving, okay, and they had all the Christmas
stuff up and the music was just blurring. I mean
to the point where I had to go shopping at another.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Whole Foods for a while. So it just was like
too much.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Apparently it's not all the stores playing Christmas music. Apparently
it's trend at home to Spotify data showing a big
jump according to the Wall Street number of Christmas related
songs in the top fifty by December. That's pretty much
an ATM machine for all the musicians and all the
other people in the industry of playing this music.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Okay, they get paid on when Spotify plays every time
you listen, they get their penny, which is very interesting
too because it's different from the old days, like you know,
you had to go out and buy the whole album
Christmas album, and now you can just go grab your
favorite song.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And if we start listening a little bit, yeah yeah,
and if we start listening around Halloween, they'll be even wealthier.
But that's kind of nice. I mean, I like that
people are making money off music and making us happy.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Okay, and here's one last one. Some of the we're
counting down to Christmas ten days left? What are some
of the weird presence issues?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Okay, Okay, I'll try to be fast on this, but
I don't know how fast I can be. There's this
new trend from the guy who launched the NFT Non
Fungible Token craze a few years ago. Artist Mike Winkleman,
also known as Beeple, is selling these robots that look
like dogs. The bodies are painted pink. They have these
rubbery heads that look like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and
(28:25):
Jeff Bezos. They carry around cameras in their chests. They're
walking around Art Basil taking pictures of things, and then
they are pooping out QR codes from printers in their
behinds for NFTs and these dogs they sell for about
one hundred thousand dollars each.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
But two thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yeah, And if you're looking for something else for somebody
who has already everything and they already have bunch of
ugly Christmas sweaters, how about an ugly sweater for your
jeep Wrangler because Delantis is now selling Jeep Wrangler ugly
Sweater trail armor for Wrangler models so you can dress
up your Wrangler. Costs six hundred and fifty bucks though,
(29:04):
so probably a lot cheaper just to go buy another
ugly Christmas sweater.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, or maybe just put the reindeer antlers on your
car and forget the whole sweater. Yes, I'd love this, Okay.
Bloomberg's Denise Pelgrene and getting in your business like we
do every day at this time. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
Talk to you too, all right, thanks Denise. A shrine
of candles and flowers is growing at Rob Reiner's star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The actor and director
(29:29):
and his wife, Michelle were found dead inside their home
in Brentwood yesterday afternoon. It appears both had been stabbed
to death. No arrests had been made, but their thirty
two year old son is apparently a person of interest.
Police are planning to or are questioning him. Rob Renner
was seventy eight. Michelle Runner sixty eight, a person of
interest in the deadly shooting at Brown University, has been released.
(29:51):
Two students were killed nine others were hurt in the
shooting Saturday at the Ivy League school in Providence, Rhode Island.
Officials say they do not have video of the shooter's face,
and their search form continues. Zootopia two has some staying
power at the box office. It's regained the top spot
in theaters, taking in twenty six million dollars over the
weekend five nights at Freddy's two is in second place,
(30:13):
and Wicked for Good is in third with eight and
a half million in ticket sales. We're just minutes away
from a handle on the news this morning. A mortuary
has given a family a very unusual and very gross
personal effect from their son. We'll tell you more about
what that is coming up, but right now, let's say
(30:34):
good morning to the chief marketing office for the Ronald
Reagan Presidential Library Foundation, Melissa Geller.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
Good morning, Melissa, Hi, thanks for having me today. Thanks
for getting up early to tell us about the special
Christmas display you have going on at the Reagan Library.
I was saying earlier that I always love going up
to the library because it's so informative, and it's just
it's a great, beautiful, beautiful venue. And now it's all
Christmas out, and so what are we going to see
(31:02):
when we go see it? Now?
Speaker 8 (31:04):
It sure is. So you know, we're sort of celebrating
the full year of America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
So our Christmas Tree exhibition this year is twenty six trees,
each tree decorated to one decade of America's history. So
you know, there's a tree for you know, seventeen seventy
to seventy nine or eighty to eighty nine or whatever
it is. In that tree, you'll find dozens and dozens
(31:27):
of some are actual artifacts, some are just recreations to
really get you into the history, the nostalgia, the popular
culture of each decade.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Okay, and you're not only talking about political things, but like, oh, thanks,
like tell us about what there's the first airplane? So
is there a whole tree that's on airplanes?
Speaker 8 (31:49):
So there is a tree, I believe that is Gosh.
Now I'm trying to rumb off the top of my head.
It might be in the early nineteen hundreds. I believe
there is a tree, and that tree has the Wright brothers,
So there's a whole huge tree, a whole plane in
the tree. That's also the same decade that Henry Ford
invented the model T so there's a little car in
(32:11):
the tree. And then anything else that happened in that
decade is there as well, Like in the eighteen ninety
three it's the first time America ever saw ferris wheel.
So at the very top of the tree, instead of
a star, instead of an angel, there's a really big
ferris wheel.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Okay, and then you have some fun with it too,
because you had mentioned that they go back into our history,
like there's a declaration of independence is on the tree.
Any constitution on the tree, right.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
Right, So the our first decade, of course, seventeen seventy
to seventeen seventy nine, when we're sort of transitioning from
colony to country. So it talks about Paul Revere's Midnight Ride,
and it talks about the declaration of Independence in the
Boston Tea Party. So those are the types of things
you'll find in that tree. Every tree, however, many presidents
were president in that tree, you find that there you
(32:59):
find which amendment we're sort of ratified in each of
the trees. And then some trees are really heavy and
popular culture, like in the fifties, Doctor Seuss released Cat
and the Hat. There's a Doctor Seuss in the tree.
The Barbie launched, I Love Lucy launched. Those are the
kind of like fun things in the tree as well.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Okay, And then you have do you have a whole
tree for President Reagan?
Speaker 8 (33:19):
We do. In addition to the twenty six trees, we
have one tree that has the actual ornament that President
Missus Reagan used in their tree. We have a whole
display of minoras. And then we also have a gold
Star Memorial Tree, which is a tree dedicated to those
who sort of, you know, sacrifice a loved one for
our military, and we encourage gold Star family members to
bring up an ornament with their loved one photo or
(33:41):
name on it, and we will put it on the
tree and it will stay in the tree every year
it goes up.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Cool, okay, and then we have a little fun with
it too, because you also have a tribute to beanie babies.
Speaker 8 (33:53):
Oh, so, of course you have to have you know
the trees with the beanie babies. I believe that might
be the eighties, and you know, and also in the
eighties pac Man, MTV cheers and there's even a little
Bob Ross in the nineteen eighties tree.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
It's a very friendly little tree, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
It's a very friendly tree.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Yeah. And then you also pay tribute to like how
could we do without this personal computers?
Speaker 8 (34:18):
So that one's pretty incredible because that one is a
real like laptop computer that must weigh fifteen or twenty pounds,
and it is sitting in the tree because whenever we
could actually use a real item from the real era,
it is in the tree. So we have a real
laptop that is, you know, the size of a monster
(34:38):
toaster sitting in that tree.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Okay, and then Melissa, where are the trees all in
one space or are they scattered throughout the grounds?
Speaker 8 (34:45):
The twenty six trees are all in our Air Force
one pavilion. The other two trees and the manors are scattered.
But the nice thing about the tree exhibition is that
we don't raise our prices. So when you come to
the Reagan Library, that one ticket gets you into the museum.
It gets you into the Air Force one pavilion, it
gets you into our Tree exhibition, and it also gets
you into our other special exhibition, which is Cowboys History
in Hollywood. So all one ticket, you get everything.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Okay. And as I mentioned, we've been up there several times.
If you haven't been up to the Reagan Library, it
really is. I mean it's in a beautiful place, beautiful
views and then all of the stuff that's in the library.
I just love it up there. So it's very peaceful, educational,
and a great way to spend the afternoon.
Speaker 8 (35:25):
It is with great views all the way out to
the ocean.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Okay. And then Melissa, when is this exhibit going. I'm
guessing it's going now. But does it go through and
after Christmas as well?
Speaker 8 (35:35):
Yeah, actually goes through the New Year, so it closes
on January fourth. And Santa does visit every Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, so you can come get your family photo
there as well.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Good to know. Melissa Geller with the Reagan Presidential Library Foundation.
Thank you so much. Now I'm just like going, I
got to get up there.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
We hope to have you out there soon, all.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Right, Thanks so much, Melissa, have a great day you too.
It really is a great way to spend the afternoon.
And I love the idea of the trees and the
whole computer. Yeah, very cool in the tree and that
kind of stuff. I dig that kind of stuff. And
who doesn't want to see a bunch of decorated Christmas trees?
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Right?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Federal
and state government leaders in Australia have agreed to immediately
overhaul the country's already tough national gun control laws after
the mass shooting in Sydney that killed at least fifteen people.
Two men who are said to be a father and
son from Pakistan opened fire on a crowd at a
beach yesterday during a Honukah celebration. Dozens of people were
(36:35):
taken to the hospital. Prime Minister Anthony Albaniz later said
that one of the shooters, the father, died at the
scene and that the twenty four year old son was
in a coma. The LAPED says it's keeping an eye
on Jewish facilities and events in the city.
Speaker 6 (36:48):
Extra patrols will be present at Jewish schools, synagogues, and
at Hanka events throughout the city. LAPD also said it
stands in solidarity with the Jewish community and its thoughts
are with the victim, their families and all those impacted
by the mass shooting at a Jewish celebration at Bondai
Beach in Australia. The La County Sheriff's Department will also
(37:08):
increase patrols.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Aileen Gonzalez KFI News. Some people who live in Woodland
Hills are pushing back against a proposed housing development they
say could permanently change their community.
Speaker 10 (37:18):
Dozens of people packed a meeting at Saint mel Catholic
Church to oppose plans to replace a historic golf course
with nearly four hundred homes. Residents to all NBC four,
they're concerned about safety.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
It's in a very high fire zone and it's a
lot of units that they're place an putting there.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
I think it's way too massive. There are not arteries
to get out of their encasement emergency.
Speaker 10 (37:37):
Developers say the project would ease the housing crisis, but
local leaders warn it could bypass public review and end
up in court.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Have the Brooker KFI News and just like that, our
time with Wake Up call is done. Thanks for starting
your day with us. We've got Handle on the news
next and Will tuk Tigan first thing tomorrow morning. This

Speaker 1 (00:26):
It's five o'clock, straight up. This is your wake up
call for Monday, December fifteenth. Good morning, I'm Amy King.
I was ready to be all jumping and bouncy and happy. Today.
It's a tough start to the day, but we're still
going to get through it. We'll get you all the
information you need and we'll still manage to, you know,
(00:50):
have a good time because it does need to be
a good day, because it's ten days till Christmas. I
spent Saturday at Disneyland getting in the Christmas spirit. That
always works on a Saturday. You went on a Saturday night,
I will tell you, Bill Handle would not have been
happy a Disneyland on Saturday. It was more crowded on
Saturday than I've seen it in a long long time.
(01:12):
So we did a lot of wandering around. We didn't
do rides. We just wandered around, did a little shopping
and it was just beautiful. Also, on your morning commute
and we'll keep you up to date on this. I
hit pea soup like it was so thick. The fog
was crazy. And then you come out of it and
it's clear and beautiful and you go, oh, okay, it's
(01:33):
not so bad. But it's really thick in some spots.
It was foggy yesterday in the valley, just thick.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Well today when I got into the valley it wasn't.
But down in the city, you know, like before you
make that turn onto the one thirty four, it was.
It was thick, thick, thick, So be careful and slow
down a little bit because you cannot see. Cannot see,
all right, let's get to it. Also, we're gonna be
talking about Rob Reiner a lot today, and I was thinking,
(02:00):
and if you have something to say about it, would
love to hear about it from you on the talkback
if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app. I've got a
list of some of the movies that he was behind,
and I'm just like, oh, I forgot about that one.
I forgot about that one. I mean, just an amazingly,
amazingly talented man. So if you have anything to say
about that, maybe your favorite movie, your thoughts about it.
(02:20):
We'd love to hear from you on the talkback. You
can hit us up. It's the little microphone in the
upper right hand corner of the app. Here's what's ahead
on wake Up Call course. Director and actor Rob Reiner
and his wife Michelle have been found stabbed to death
in their home in Brentwood. TMZ says LA Fire paramedics
were called at the scene yesterday afternoon about three forty
and found the bodies of a seventy eight year old
(02:40):
man and a sixty eight year old woman inside. Their
son is apparently a person of interest. ABC's Mike Dbusky's
going to join us in just a couple of minutes
with all the latest on that investigation. Also, we're expecting
a press conference, I believe at about seven o'clock. We'll
bring that to you live here on KFI. Extra Securities
in place around Jewish places of worship followowing the mass
shooting at Bondai Beach in Australia. Two shooters believed to
(03:05):
be a father and a son, killed at least fifteen
people who were celebrating the first day of Hanukkah. It's
being called a targeted anti Semitic attack. LA mayor bass
once another four years. The mayor announced on Saturday she's
running for mayor of La again in twenty twenty six.
Housing activist Ray Huang, a former LA School superintendent Austin Buner,
(03:27):
and longtime city employee Asad Al Najar are also running
for the office. Of course, there were two mass shootings
over the weekend, the one in Australia and then also
the one at Brown University in Rhode Island. We're going
to get the latest from Providence with ABC's Rena Roy
at five point twenty. And on a happier note, the
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is always a great place to visit,
(03:48):
and this Christmas it's even more special. We're going to
tell you why you might want to make a trip
up to Simi Valley to see that. Let's get started
with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Director Rob Reiner and his wife
Michelle were found murdered in their home in Brentwood. The
bodies were found yesterday afternoon. LAPD spokesman Alan Hamilton said
(04:09):
last night investigators were not looking for a person considered
a suspect or a person of interest.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Now, when I tell you that we have not identified
a suspect, it doesn't mean that we're not working the case.
We will not identify a suspect until that person is
identified as a suspect and we're legally seeking them.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
He says. Investigators will be interviewing a lot of family members.
People magazine reported that Reiner's thirty two year old son
is a suspect in the deaths. Governor Newsom said in
a statement that he and his wife are heartbroken over
the murders of Reiner and his wife statements as Reiner's
boundless empathy made his stories timeless, teaching generations how to
see goodness and righteousness in others and encouraging us to
(04:50):
dream bigger. Any remaining National Guard troops in La need
to be removed by today, under a judge's order from
last week that the deployment was unlawful and must end.
The Trump administration appealed the December tenth ruling, but late Friday,
a federal appellate court upheld the lower court order. About
one hundred National Guard members remain deployed in the city
following violence that broke out during immigration protests. In June.
(05:14):
LA Mayor Bass officially has launched her bid for a
second term. At a rally downtown over the weekend, she
said the city has made progress but still faces big challenges,
especially with housing and affordability. She did acknowledge the year
has been a tough one started in tragedy, but we
stood together.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
We stood together.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
To help those Angelinos who lost their homes and their communities.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Bass is facing several challengers again, as I mentioned, including
former LA School Chief Austin Butner. The election will be
held June second. Please say good morning too, ABC's Mike Dubusky. Mike,
a tough news that Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle
have been killed in their home in Brentwood.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
That's absolutely right, Amy, So Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle,
they were found dead yesterday, as you said, at their
home in Brentwood. This all played out starting around three
point thirty pm on the West coast. That's when the
Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at a
home belonging to Reiner, and the fire department found two
dead bodies there. Initially, authorities only released the ages of
(06:22):
those individuals seventy eight and sixty eight but those are
the ages of Robin Michelle Reiner, so people were pretty
quick to put together what was going on. The family
later overnight confirmed that these were indeed the identity of
the two dead bodies. Eventually, the police were brought in
to respond, and now sources are telling ABC News that
the robbery and homicide units within the LAPD are investigating
(06:44):
the incident. Sources also tell ABC that the bodies appear
to have been stabbed. They have not said anything with
regard to a motive or a timeline for this attack.
We don't know of any suspects or people of interest
or anything like that, but amy one thing is for certain,
Hollywood is very much in shock this morning, as Rob
Reiner was really just an enormous figure in that industry.
(07:06):
And as evidence of that, sources tell ABC News that
both Billy Crystal and Larry David showed up to Reiner's
house last night to pay their respects. Crystal was said
that he looked to be near tears.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, and you're saying that there's no official suspects, but
People magazine and the other outlets are reporting that his son,
who's thirty two years old, is at least a person
of interest and is being questioned.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, at the moment, that appears to just be a
People magazine report. ABC News has not confirmed that. We're
not saying that the context there is that their son
did struggle with alcohol and drug abuse. In fact, Reiner
and his son co wrote a movie in some way
documenting that struggle with their family and you know, with
(07:52):
just the son's own troubles. Yeah, it was called I
believe it was called Becoming Charlie. Excuse me, it's called
Being Charlie as a film that came out about a
decade ago or so. But again, ABC can't confirm that
People magazine report. It's certainly out there, but that's a
piece of this as well.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, and it's so tragically and you know, we hear
this all the time, Mike, but of you know, the
children of rich parents or famous parents and the struggles
that they have. We just talked to Adam Nimoy, Leonard
Nimoy's son not too long ago, and they had a
lot of struggles and there was drug addiction and and
all of that stuff. They luckily came through it. But
(08:34):
you hear about it and it just breaks your heart
because you think, wow, all these people. They've got such
great lives and they're famous, and they do these wonderful things,
but there's there's a lot of there's a lot of
darkness in there.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Unfortunately, Yeah, so so much money and you know, even
still can't address some of the darker elements of humanity
that crop up, certainly, but yeah, that that is, that's
kind of where we are at, at least with the
investigation into this. Of course, Rob Briiner, it's tough to
run into a person who doesn't have some sort of
interaction with Rob Reiner his work. He was born in
(09:07):
here in New York City in nineteen forty seven. First
entered the entertainment world at the Bucks County Playhouse in Pennsylvania,
which is like two towns over from where I grew up.
He got to start on the show wagon train in
the early sixties, but then kind of really broke out
all in the family. He was meathead yep. Of course
he's the sort of unemployed guy. He's like perpetual thorn
(09:28):
in the side to Archie Bunker. For that role, he
won two Emmy Awards and five Golden Globes. And then
of course there's his movies, right, both starring in and
directing things like This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride,
stand By Me, Misery, a Few Good Men, and of
course there is no list of Rob Reiner's career that
is not complete without When Harry Met Sally, which many
considered to be the best, if not, it was just
(09:51):
one of the best romantic comedies ever made.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Still one of my very favorites. Yeah. I was just
kind of perusing things and I completely forgot about Spinal Tap,
which is also just hysterical.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And he directed the sequel which came out this year,
so you know it's still working even into his late seventies.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, and he was supposed to be at a panel.
They were doing an evening with Rob Reiner and Palm
Springs this week. I mean, he's, like you said, he's
still very active. So just really tragic. Thank you for
the update, And as I mentioned too to wake Up
Call listeners, it looks like we're going to have a
press conference, probably right around seven o'clock. That's always fluid,
(10:30):
but we'll bring it to you here live. We'll hopefully
get an update, all right, Mike Dubuski, thank you so much.
Of course, the information appreciate it. Just so sad and
man like the Princess Bride classic. He's not dead, he's
mostly dead. I mean, just like the it's his talent
is amazing. Here's my here's my run in with Rob Reiner.
(10:51):
We were leaving a Dodgers game, and of course traffic's
gridl like gridlocked in the parking lot, and we're all
trying to like get through this one point. And so
I got out of the car and said, I'm sorry,
can we sneak over here in front of you? And
it was Rob Renner and he was like, oh, yeah,
that's fine. He's like, hey, what are you guys doing? Afterward?
I mean, so anyway, he was very nice, nothing but charming.
(11:14):
So very sad news. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
We're not done with the sad news yet.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Destrians have had their lives cruelly stalin and many have
been injured.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanize says an attack that killed
at least fifteen people during a Honika celebration at Bandai
Beach was pure evil.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
An act of evil anti Semitism, terrorism that has struck
the heart about nashen.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Billy shot the suspected father and son attackers. The older
man died at the scene. Albani says the twenty four
year old son is in a coma. The Prime Minister
also said the son had been investigated by the country's
primary intelligence agency in twenty nineteen, reportedly overlinks to a
suspected ISIS cell in Sydney, but was found not to
(12:05):
be a security threat. Authorities in LA and Riverside County
say patrols have been increased at Jewish facilities in Hanukah
events because of the deadly attack in Australia. The LAPED said, well,
no known threat to Los Angeles is there. The department
remains vigilant and committed to protecting its diverse communities. Riverside
police say they would be driving by locations of interest
(12:26):
throughout the city. Tensions between the US and Venezuela on
the rise after the US seized and oil tanker, sanctioned
six others and sent troops to the region. Democratic Senator
Mark Warner from Virginia tails ABC he has not been
briefed on President Trump's goals despite serving on the Senate
Intelligence Committee.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Well, you'd think as a member of the so called
Gang of Eight, where we're supposed to be brief on everything,
I would have the answer to that.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I do not know what this president's goal visa Vive
Venezuela is.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Republican Senator Mike Turner from Ohio, also on the committee,
said the Trump administration doesn't want to show its hand
as the increase in pressure happens on Venezuela. A new
NBC News Decision Desk poll shows forty two percent of
voters approve of President Trump's job performance, fifty eight percent disapprove.
(13:15):
Experts say this represents growing concern about the economy and inflation.
As we've been telling you. Police are investigating the deaths
of actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle.
Their bodies were found inside their home in Brentwood yesterday afternoon.
The Reiner's thirty two year old son is apparently being questioned,
but no arrests have been made. A man who police
(13:36):
say set a house on fire in Riverside County has
been shot and killed by Sheriff's deputies. Sheriff's deputies were
called to the home in Moreno Valley yesterday after being
told that a man at the back of the house
was trying to set a fire inside. Woodburning not allowed
today across the Southland because of poor air quality. The
Southern California AQMD says indoor and outdoor burning is banned
(13:59):
through today. Homes that rely solely on wood burning for
heat are exempt at six so five it Tammel on
the News, Ukraine's Zelenski says he's willing to give up
on NATO, but is not willing to give up his land.
Let's say good morning to ABC's Rena Roy, who's in Providence,
Rhode Island. Rena, we had a person of interest who
(14:21):
was detained, but that person has been released, So can
you give us the latest on their efforts to find
the shooter and also the shooting at Brown University.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
Yeah, any quite the turn of events. Police announced in
Oppressor last night around eleven that the person of interest
that they had detained was released. It was that there
was some evidence that led them to that person, including
a tip that led them to a nearby Hampton in
about twenty miles from where this shooting took place at Brown.
According to our sources, it was a man in his
mid twenties from Wisconsin, but Pelisse they later realized they
(14:53):
didn't have their guide. The mayor said last night, you know,
the under fans is probably has caused some renewed anxiety
for the community, but that they're doing what they can.
They're continuing this investigation and trying to find whoever is responsible,
and they say that there are no specific threats to
this community.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Okay, so Walker's back, because this happened on Saturday, which
was sort of a weird time for students to be
in class, and they were at an engineering building and
where on campus was it and what happened that we know?
Speaker 9 (15:26):
Yeah, so this was really just in the heart of
campus and the Baress and Holly Engineering building, as you mentioned,
the first call sort of coming in just after four pm,
and as you said, it was a Saturday, but there
was a study session going on and right now final
exams are underway. So ABC News did get a chance
to speak with a senior who was leading that study session,
and he kind of walked us through the really terrifying
(15:49):
moments that this gunman came in. He said that, you know,
suddenly they heard gunshots, they saw the gunment come in
dressed in black. He yelled something he didn't the student
didn't understand what the gunman said that he immediately started shooting,
and he ended up next to one of the victims
who was shot in the leg. And from there they
just stayed put. There were announcements over the loud speakers
(16:11):
to shelter in place. There was a lockdown on campus
for hours until police evacuated and made sure everybody was safe.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Okay, And was the shooting isolated to that one classroom.
Speaker 9 (16:24):
So at this point we're still learning to detail exactly
of the movements of the shooter, but we do know
that I think some people might have been shot outside,
but most of the victims were inside the classroom.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Okay. And do we know and I know that two
students were killed, nine people are hurt. Were they all students?
Speaker 9 (16:45):
All students?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (16:47):
And we are told the last update we got from
help officials is that six are critical but stable condition,
one is fully stable, and one was released from the hospital.
And we actually got an identity of one of the
victims who was killed, Ella Cook, a Brown student and
a parishioner at a church in Alabama. That church's reverend
actually announced her death in his Sunday service. He called
(17:08):
her an incredibly grounded, generous, faithful person and a bright
light in the church and in her community.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And obviously it's because we don't have a shooter in custody.
They're not talking about a motive or are there any
rumblings about why this person shot up this classroom.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
I mean, at this point, that really is a big question.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Right.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
We don't police say that they don't have their guide,
they don't have the suspect. They do know that they
are looking for somebody that they think might be the
shooter that was seen in surveillance video walking on campus
that was released. That video was released this weekend, and
they believe that is the person they're looking for, but
so far, no official suspect that they have said, no
(17:52):
official motive, but it seems like they're casting a wide net.
But the mayor said, there's just no way of knowing
if the person responsible has even left the date.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah. Well, and it's got to be unnerving too for
a small town that you're just like, Okay, there's a
guy with a gun and we know that he's not
afraid to use it and he's just out there, so all.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Right, Yeah, I mean They addressed that in the cross
conference last night, like you know, look, there is going
to be renewed anxiety in this community, but they are
stressing that there are no specific threats to the community.
The mayor was on Good Morning America this morning and
said that they have not received any specific calls about
violence to the community, you know, but they have increased
(18:30):
police presence on campus today as this investigation continues.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
All right, ABC's Rihena Roy in Providence, Rhode Island. Thanks
so much for the update. Appreciate it, Thank you, all right.
The Department of Homeland Security says more than ten thousand
arrests have been made around Los Angeles since immigration enforcement
operations began in June. Officials say those arrests include people
accused of murder, kidnapping, sexual assault, and armed carjacking. DHS

criminal records or how many have been deported. Closing arguments
are set for this morning in the lawsuit against the
Angels alleging the wrongful death of pitcher Tyler Skaggs. He

alleges negligence in the way the team supervised kay The
trial started in early October. A woman suing composer Danny
Elfman for defamation wants a judge to toss out his
countersuit for fraud. Pianist Nomi Abodi's lawyers say Elfman's claim
is just a breach of contract issue. Dressed up as fraud,

Elfman accuses a Body of hiding her role in a
Rolling Stone article about her past harassment, allegations which he
says violated their settlement deal. A Body denies wrongdoing and
says Elfman's public comments damaged her career. A judge had
previously told Elfman to revise his complaint. The cases now

the threshold you're jumping in. Okay. At six oh five,
it's handle on the news. Times running out for Congress

(22:00):
twenty million people. Here's what's coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour news from director Rob Reiner and his
wife Michelle have been found murdered inside their home in Brentwood, LA.
Fire paramedics were called to the home yesterday afternoon. They
reportedly found the couple with stab wounds. LAPD spokesman Alan
Hamilton said last night investigators were waiting on a warrant
(22:21):
to get inside the home.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
At this time.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
The Los Angeles Police Department is not seeking anyone as
a suspect. Or as a person of interest or in
any other manner, and we will not be doing that
until we conduct our investigation.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Now we move forward, he said. Family members will be interviewed.
People Magazine says Reiner's thirty two year old son is
suspected in the deaths. They also say it was the

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Heather Broker o k if I News time to get
in your business, as we do every morning at five
point forty with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegreny. Good morning, Denise, Hey,
good morning to you. Amy.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
I want to start with the job cuts and the
consulting business just quickly. Sources say bosses at McKinsey have
ied cutting about ten percent a headcount across non client
facing departments. That could mean thousands of cuts and also
problems in the smart vacuum business.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Rumba maker iBOT.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Has filed for eye Robot rather has filed for bankruptcy.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
They'll go private.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
They've been struggling with supply chain issues and a lot
of cheaper competitors from China and elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I want a roomba, I know.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
And if you've seen the videos of the cats that
jump on the room button ride around, I mean I
could watch those hundreds and hundreds of times and not
get board.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Well, maybe the problem is, DENISEAI, we're all watching those
videos and we're not going out and actually buying the
room bus that is, or we're trying to and there's
supply issues, or we're thinking about riding them ourselves. I
don't know. Yeah, so they're not going away, they're going
into bankruptcy and trying to regroup.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Right then there'll be a private company. Just means you
won't be able to buy the stock.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Okay, So mortgage rates could be about to come down,
which would make sense since there was just an interest
rate cut.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Yeah, and it's not only that, because when you take
out a mortgage, that loan, the money that you pay
back that's all usually bundled with other loans and sold
by the lender, whoever that is a bank or some
private lender, often to mortgage giants Fanny Mae and Freddie Mack.
They buy those loans a lot of them. And now
Fanny and Freddie are increasing the amount of loans they
own and could even boost the loan buying activity more
(25:58):
from here, that couldn't buy our mortgage lenders that you
borrow the money from to boost their lending, and that'll
cut mortgage rates in the race for home buyer business.
So not just interest rates, but another big reason why
we could see mortgage rates really drop. I mean, could
be quite a spring selling season if that happens.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Okay, and you mentioned that Fanny May and Freddie Mack
are going to do more. Is that from a directive
from the Trump administration or anything.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Or.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Well, it's happening because they want to go public and
this juices their own business and it makes their numbers
look better as they sort of decouple. Theoretically, the talk
is from the government and become these private entity companies,
so they have a bottom line reason for doing this,
but also conveniently could make it way easier to get
(26:48):
a nice low mortgage rate.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Okay, cool, Christmas music is not just fun to listen to,
it's also a cash cow. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
I was in Whole Foods like a week and a
half before Thanksgiving, okay, and they had all the Christmas
stuff up and the music was just blurring. I mean
to the point where I had to go shopping at another.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Whole Foods for a while. So it just was like
too much.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Apparently it's not all the stores playing Christmas music. Apparently
it's trend at home to Spotify data showing a big
jump according to the Wall Street number of Christmas related
songs in the top fifty by December. That's pretty much
an ATM machine for all the musicians and all the
other people in the industry of playing this music.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Okay, they get paid on when Spotify plays every time
you listen, they get their penny, which is very interesting
too because it's different from the old days, like you know,
you had to go out and buy the whole album
Christmas album, and now you can just go grab your
favorite song.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And if we start listening a little bit, yeah yeah,
and if we start listening around Halloween, they'll be even wealthier.
But that's kind of nice. I mean, I like that
people are making money off music and making us happy.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Okay, and here's one last one. Some of the we're
counting down to Christmas ten days left? What are some
of the weird presence issues?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Okay, Okay, I'll try to be fast on this, but
I don't know how fast I can be. There's this
new trend from the guy who launched the NFT Non
Fungible Token craze a few years ago. Artist Mike Winkleman,
also known as Beeple, is selling these robots that look
like dogs. The bodies are painted pink. They have these
rubbery heads that look like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and
(28:25):
Jeff Bezos. They carry around cameras in their chests. They're
walking around Art Basil taking pictures of things, and then
they are pooping out QR codes from printers in their
behinds for NFTs and these dogs they sell for about
one hundred thousand dollars each.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
But two thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yeah, And if you're looking for something else for somebody
who has already everything and they already have bunch of
ugly Christmas sweaters, how about an ugly sweater for your
jeep Wrangler because Delantis is now selling Jeep Wrangler ugly
Sweater trail armor for Wrangler models so you can dress
up your Wrangler. Costs six hundred and fifty bucks though,
(29:04):
so probably a lot cheaper just to go buy another
ugly Christmas sweater.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, or maybe just put the reindeer antlers on your
car and forget the whole sweater. Yes, I'd love this, Okay.
Bloomberg's Denise Pelgrene and getting in your business like we
do every day at this time. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
Talk to you too, all right, thanks Denise. A shrine
of candles and flowers is growing at Rob Reiner's star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The actor and director
(29:29):
and his wife, Michelle were found dead inside their home
in Brentwood yesterday afternoon. It appears both had been stabbed
to death. No arrests had been made, but their thirty
two year old son is apparently a person of interest.
Police are planning to or are questioning him. Rob Renner
was seventy eight. Michelle Runner sixty eight, a person of
interest in the deadly shooting at Brown University, has been released.
(29:51):
Two students were killed nine others were hurt in the
shooting Saturday at the Ivy League school in Providence, Rhode Island.
Officials say they do not have video of the shooter's face,
and their search form continues. Zootopia two has some staying
power at the box office. It's regained the top spot
in theaters, taking in twenty six million dollars over the
weekend five nights at Freddy's two is in second place,
(30:13):
and Wicked for Good is in third with eight and
a half million in ticket sales. We're just minutes away
from a handle on the news this morning. A mortuary
has given a family a very unusual and very gross
personal effect from their son. We'll tell you more about
what that is coming up, but right now, let's say
(30:34):
good morning to the chief marketing office for the Ronald
Reagan Presidential Library Foundation, Melissa Geller.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
Good morning, Melissa, Hi, thanks for having me today. Thanks
for getting up early to tell us about the special
Christmas display you have going on at the Reagan Library.
I was saying earlier that I always love going up
to the library because it's so informative, and it's just
it's a great, beautiful, beautiful venue. And now it's all
Christmas out, and so what are we going to see
(31:02):
when we go see it? Now?
Speaker 8 (31:04):
It sure is. So you know, we're sort of celebrating
the full year of America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
So our Christmas Tree exhibition this year is twenty six trees,
each tree decorated to one decade of America's history. So
you know, there's a tree for you know, seventeen seventy
to seventy nine or eighty to eighty nine or whatever
it is. In that tree, you'll find dozens and dozens
(31:27):
of some are actual artifacts, some are just recreations to
really get you into the history, the nostalgia, the popular
culture of each decade.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Okay, and you're not only talking about political things, but like, oh, thanks,
like tell us about what there's the first airplane? So
is there a whole tree that's on airplanes?
Speaker 8 (31:49):
So there is a tree, I believe that is Gosh.
Now I'm trying to rumb off the top of my head.
It might be in the early nineteen hundreds. I believe
there is a tree, and that tree has the Wright brothers,
So there's a whole huge tree, a whole plane in
the tree. That's also the same decade that Henry Ford
invented the model T so there's a little car in
(32:11):
the tree. And then anything else that happened in that
decade is there as well, Like in the eighteen ninety
three it's the first time America ever saw ferris wheel.
So at the very top of the tree, instead of
a star, instead of an angel, there's a really big
ferris wheel.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Okay, and then you have some fun with it too,
because you had mentioned that they go back into our history,
like there's a declaration of independence is on the tree.
Any constitution on the tree, right.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
Right, So the our first decade, of course, seventeen seventy
to seventeen seventy nine, when we're sort of transitioning from
colony to country. So it talks about Paul Revere's Midnight Ride,
and it talks about the declaration of Independence in the
Boston Tea Party. So those are the types of things
you'll find in that tree. Every tree, however, many presidents
were president in that tree, you find that there you
(32:59):
find which amendment we're sort of ratified in each of
the trees. And then some trees are really heavy and
popular culture, like in the fifties, Doctor Seuss released Cat
and the Hat. There's a Doctor Seuss in the tree.
The Barbie launched, I Love Lucy launched. Those are the
kind of like fun things in the tree as well.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Okay, And then you have do you have a whole
tree for President Reagan?
Speaker 8 (33:19):
We do. In addition to the twenty six trees, we
have one tree that has the actual ornament that President
Missus Reagan used in their tree. We have a whole
display of minoras. And then we also have a gold
Star Memorial Tree, which is a tree dedicated to those
who sort of, you know, sacrifice a loved one for
our military, and we encourage gold Star family members to
bring up an ornament with their loved one photo or
(33:41):
name on it, and we will put it on the
tree and it will stay in the tree every year
it goes up.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Cool, okay, and then we have a little fun with
it too, because you also have a tribute to beanie babies.
Speaker 8 (33:53):
Oh, so, of course you have to have you know
the trees with the beanie babies. I believe that might
be the eighties, and you know, and also in the
eighties pac Man, MTV cheers and there's even a little
Bob Ross in the nineteen eighties tree.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
It's a very friendly little tree, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
It's a very friendly tree.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Yeah. And then you also pay tribute to like how
could we do without this personal computers?
Speaker 8 (34:18):
So that one's pretty incredible because that one is a
real like laptop computer that must weigh fifteen or twenty pounds,
and it is sitting in the tree because whenever we
could actually use a real item from the real era,
it is in the tree. So we have a real
laptop that is, you know, the size of a monster
(34:38):
toaster sitting in that tree.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Okay, and then Melissa, where are the trees all in
one space or are they scattered throughout the grounds?
Speaker 8 (34:45):
The twenty six trees are all in our Air Force
one pavilion. The other two trees and the manors are scattered.
But the nice thing about the tree exhibition is that
we don't raise our prices. So when you come to
the Reagan Library, that one ticket gets you into the museum.
It gets you into the Air Force one pavilion, it
gets you into our Tree exhibition, and it also gets
you into our other special exhibition, which is Cowboys History
in Hollywood. So all one ticket, you get everything.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Okay. And as I mentioned, we've been up there several times.
If you haven't been up to the Reagan Library, it
really is. I mean it's in a beautiful place, beautiful
views and then all of the stuff that's in the library.
I just love it up there. So it's very peaceful, educational,
and a great way to spend the afternoon.
Speaker 8 (35:25):
It is with great views all the way out to
the ocean.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Okay. And then Melissa, when is this exhibit going. I'm
guessing it's going now. But does it go through and
after Christmas as well?
Speaker 8 (35:35):
Yeah, actually goes through the New Year, so it closes
on January fourth. And Santa does visit every Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, so you can come get your family photo
there as well.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Good to know. Melissa Geller with the Reagan Presidential Library Foundation.
Thank you so much. Now I'm just like going, I
got to get up there.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
We hope to have you out there soon, all.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Right, Thanks so much, Melissa, have a great day you too.
It really is a great way to spend the afternoon.
And I love the idea of the trees and the
whole computer. Yeah, very cool in the tree and that
kind of stuff. I dig that kind of stuff. And
who doesn't want to see a bunch of decorated Christmas trees?
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Right?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Federal
and state government leaders in Australia have agreed to immediately
overhaul the country's already tough national gun control laws after
the mass shooting in Sydney that killed at least fifteen people.
Two men who are said to be a father and
son from Pakistan opened fire on a crowd at a
beach yesterday during a Honukah celebration. Dozens of people were
(36:35):
taken to the hospital. Prime Minister Anthony Albaniz later said
that one of the shooters, the father, died at the
scene and that the twenty four year old son was
in a coma. The LAPED says it's keeping an eye
on Jewish facilities and events in the city.
Speaker 6 (36:48):
Extra patrols will be present at Jewish schools, synagogues, and
at Hanka events throughout the city. LAPD also said it
stands in solidarity with the Jewish community and its thoughts
are with the victim, their families and all those impacted
by the mass shooting at a Jewish celebration at Bondai
Beach in Australia. The La County Sheriff's Department will also
(37:08):
increase patrols.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Aileen Gonzalez KFI News. Some people who live in Woodland
Hills are pushing back against a proposed housing development they
say could permanently change their community.
Speaker 10 (37:18):
Dozens of people packed a meeting at Saint mel Catholic
Church to oppose plans to replace a historic golf course
with nearly four hundred homes. Residents to all NBC four,
they're concerned about safety.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
It's in a very high fire zone and it's a
lot of units that they're place an putting there.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
I think it's way too massive. There are not arteries
to get out of their encasement emergency.
Speaker 10 (37:37):
Developers say the project would ease the housing crisis, but
local leaders warn it could bypass public review and end
up in court.
