You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI had KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. That's right, it's time. It's five o'clock. This is your wake up call for Monday, November sixth. Good morning, I'm Amy King. I hope you had a great weekend. So it's headed into work this morning and was locking the door, and because I decorate for every holiday, I have these
little pumpkins like lining my walkway. Something's eating them there. I was like, well, that's weird, and there's like these big bite marks out of the pumpkins. I'm thinking it's the possums in the area. You don't have raccoons, d I don't think it's raccoons, I think, And they say, like, don't leave food out because raccoons like if you leave cat food out for them, they'll come back and come back. So I'm like, should I take the pumpkins away? But think of the possums that are there
anyway. So I guess if I can feed a postum, it's a good day because they eat bugs. Possums are good. They're weird looking, but they're good. Also, speaking of pumpkins, had a fabulous pumpkinhead chi latte. Over the weekend, we were out in Claremont. We went to this place called revd Up. I put a post on on my Instagram at amy Kay King Delicious, and I got gas while I was out there. Fifty cents a gallon cheaper than here in La County. Fifty cents almost makes it
worth driving out there just to fill up. And then as I was heading home. You gotta love this. I don't know if this has happened to you recently, but I'm about to get on the freeway at an intersection. Someone comes up behind behind me and hits me, not hard, just a little tap tap, hits the bumper like oh man, and so I pull over. We both get out of our car and I'm like, don't inflate the situation or inflame the situation. Diffuse and I'm like hi, and she
was so nice and she goes it was totally my fault. I was looking the other direction and I'm like, that's okay, and I was like, you know what, this was so great because one there was no damage to the car, so that's great. But she's like, do you want to exchange phone numbers just in case? And I said, yeah, everything looks fine. And so thank you to Melanie in the unlikely Jane that you are
up and about at this moment in time. But it was just so refreshing because everybody's so supercharged right now that it was just like this chill thing, like, hey, yeah, this happened and we're okay. So maybe it's just the people in the ie are nicer. Melanie's nice, melaniell okay, so not everybody. Okay, here's what's ahead on wake up call. Two people have been killed when a mini van crashed into a metrobus in downtown La
but least say they were chase. Seeing the minivan yesterday morning was apparently trying to take off just off the ten Freeway when the crash happened. Two people in the backseat of the minivan were killed. The two others inside were taken to the hospital. Israeli troops are expected to enter Gaza City in mass either today or tomorrow. Gaza health official'll say Israeli airstrikes hit two refugee camps yesterday in the Central Gaza Strip. Israel is rejecting a push by the US to
take a humanitarian pause. Tyson is recalling nearly thirty thousand pounds of dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets. Several people have reported finding small pieces of metal in the nuggets. The recall is on Tyson's twenty nine ounce bags of fun Nuggets. You can return them to the store where you bought them at six oh five. It's handle on the news. Donald Trump expected to take the stand today in his fraud trial in New York. Let's get started with some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A person has been hurt in a crash between a car and a Blue Line train in South la. The fire department say the crash last night caused the car to flip over one person got trapped inside. That person was taken to the hospital in serious condition. A nineteen year old woman and two other teens have been arrested in Riverside County for allegedly stealing about two thousand dollars worth of stuff from a store in
the Lake Elsinore area. Deputy say the trio was busted Thursday when they returned to the store for a second time the same day to take more stuff. Deputy say an investigation turned up more than ten thousand dollars worth of stolen items from several stores in Riverside County. The laped is mourning the death of an off duty officer killed in a high speed crash in Northridge. Foster Cunningham is survived vi fiance and a six year old and three year old young boy,
young boys, a mother, and two other brothers. Police Chief Morses Officer Darryl Cunningham was driving on Lindley Avenue early Saturday, crossing Roscoe Boulevard when his car was hit by a driver going about one hundred miles per hour. The officer's front seat passenger was also so killed. Three people in the backseat were hurt, including an off duty San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputy. Chief mor says the twenty year old driver who caused the crash appeared to be under the influence
of alcohol. He's in the hospital in critical condition. A section of Sunset Sunset Beach in Huntington Beach has been closed because of an injured whale and reports of aggressive shark activity. The shark and whale sightings were reported yesterday afternoon. People say they saw splashing and the shark activity before the whale washed ashore. The beaches are going to be closed for forty eight hours. Good morning to ABC's Tom Rivers. Tom as the war rages on. Ukraine is still pushing
to get into the EU. Of course we don't hear about Ukraine a whole lot, but let's find out what the latest is from you. Yeah. Over the weekend we had the European Commission President Ersa the Slavander lyon. It was her sixth trip to Kiev and again kind of turning the super tanker. Around two years ago, Ukraine was the by definition most corrupt country in the
world. Her assessment now is pretty glowing. You know, they've dealt with the corruption, they dealt with judicial reforms, and they're doing a really great job. And she's kind of putting together report. There will be yet another EU meeting next month on possible talks and when and how Ukraine will become a member of the European Union and how big a chunk of land it'll be.
Then it might be twenty percent less than there was two years ago, okay, and what would joining the EU do for Ukraine, certainly help in trade negotiations, in cutting down on tariffs, the ability to move around Europe, certainly in the Shangan area without passport controls, et cetera, et cetera. So there's a heck of a lot of economic and trade incentives for Ukraine to eventually get into the Club of twenty seven. Okay. And if they oh,
so you just said it wouldn't be till like twenty twenty seven. Now the Club of twenty seven nations would be the twenty eighth nation. So yeah, so we don't we don't know what year this would happen. And you know, how long is a piece of string. Again, the war has to end first, so yeah, it's not gonna happen in ten days. Okay, So there's no definitive timeline, but they have said that the war
needs to be over before they'll consider this. Well, it certainly looks that way, you go, And again on that one, it's an interesting sideline on if you caught it's toward the end of last week one of these crank calls, This one caught the Italian Prime Minister Maloney off guard, and she she admitted, thought it was a legitimate interview, and she said, yeah,
there's there's fatigue in Europe. You know, Italy is tottering again and having economic problems like it had in two thousand and eight, Germany's in recession, Netherlands in recession, the UK is almost there too, So there's real fatigue of being you know, standing in line and saying yep, we're all united because Biden says were united, and most of Europe is saying enough's enough, We've done what we can do. It is what it is. If Ukraine does get into the EU, does that help them in their bid to
join NATO? Or are they just two completely separate things kind of kind of yeah, apples and oranges. The real question would be what geographically what does Ukraine look like? Assuming there's me peace talks, who knows fill in the blank a year or two from now, what is Ukraine going to look like? Will it be by definition neutral? Will it be in NATO? There
are a myriad of questions that have to be to be hammered out. Russia wouldn't like probably Ukraine joining either club, But of the two, the more bitter pill would eat to or Ukraine to join join NATO. So yeah, This is talking hypothetically down the road somewhere. We're certainly not there yet and there's gonna be many many steps to get there. But yes, in one regard, maybe, just maybe it's inching closer to inclusion in the European Union.
Okay, And you mentioned the more precarious one is NATO, because then that becomes an attack on one, is an attack on all? Right? Oh yeah, very much so, very much so. So. Yeah. You know, we poured in ungodly amounts of money into Ukraine, and Ukraine is not a member of NATO. You know that is not that has been maybe an easier sell in America, has not been an easy sell in Europe. Okay, And you mentioned that we have poured tons of tons of money
into Ukraine. Do we have any kind of idea because I know that there's a lot of people saying, hey, there's no accountability. Do we know how much of that money has been used or is there any left or are they just plowing through it or do we even know? Well, there was a US individual that can't, off the top of my head remember his name, that was over there looking into that He sadly passed away. The short
answer is and there's been anecdotal evidence too, a wash in weaponry. Some of the smaller weapons that can be carried in by hand are showing up on a black market and they certainly are used in places like them at least. So again, there's another problematic, if you will, tertiary problem in that you go down this road giving everything to Ukraine and not everything goes into the
arms of a Ukrainian soldier. It's sold on to third parties who could, in theory use them against Israel if this thing were to escalate, use them against the US. So yes, another haunting problem of going in full blast and not knowing what your exit strategy is. And you there are a wash in different parts of the world that with weaponry that you don't want to be
there. Yeah, And it's just it's so amazing that you know that this, the whole Ukraine conflict war was so top of mind, and then if you know, a month ago, once the Hamas Israel, things started just shift focus shift, and I was I was even going, man, I got to talk to Tom because we haven't heard what's going on in Ukraine for weeks. If the University of probably doing content analysis on this actually started before, before Israel and Gaza. But as soon as you know that this was
the counter offensive that really didn't happen. A lot of column inches in papers, a lot of space on television and radio in America really really cut down. It's hard to be if you were in the camp of being a cheerleader, to cheer something that isn't happening, and that was happening before we had the problems in the middle least. Yeah, all right, well, Tom Rivers, thanks you'd forgiving it, giving us the latest early this morning, and have a wonderful day and we'll talk to you soon. Big care,
All right, take care. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Screen Actors Guild is considering the so called last, best and final offer from the major Hollywood studios. The two sides met over several days to try to end the strike that started in July. The strike was called over issues like streaming residuals and the use of artificial intelligence. A man accused of firing off fifteen to twenty gun shots
into the floor of his apartment in downtown Los Angeles has been arrested. This neighbor says he was a little I'm sorry. He says, the shots were a little unsettling. Certainly, things like this happening inside my own building aren't something that don't think anyone want that. I'm just glad nobody got hurt. The man's neighbor says the guy served in the military and works in the gun business. The man initially refused to surrender to police yesterday. That prompt did
an evacuation of the fifty unit building. Police say the guy climbed out a window and gave up about an hour later. Police did a search of the apartment and found several guns, including assault rifles, ammunition, tactical gear, and camouflage outfits. Orange County supervisors have approved a contract to provide maintenance and
upgrades to the county's crime lab equipment. The Orange County Crime Lab will get a tune up for its equipment, including genetic analyzers, magnetic particle processors, rapid DNA, and real time polimerase chain reaction instruments. OC Supervisor board chair Don Wagner says the more than two hundred thousand dollars contract approved last week will ensure the vital process of collecting evidence involves the most up to date technology to
catch, investigate, and convict criminals and keep communities safe. In Orange County, Corbin Carson k if I News, about eleven hundred people have been able to leave the gaza stripped through the RAFA crossing since last Wednesday under an agreement between the US, Egypt, Israel, and Cutter, which mediates with Hamas. The RAFA crossing is a parent only been closed again. ABC's Jordana Miller
is in Israel. She's going to bring us the latest in about a minute, sag after says it will mole over what the Hollywood studios have called their best, last and final offer to end the one hundred and fourteen day long actor strike. The proposal reportedly includes more residuals for popular streaming shows, protections against AI, and the highest increase in overall residuals in forty years. Former President Trump's scheduled to take the stand in the Trump Organization's civil fraud trial in
New York today. The family business is accused of inflating its wealth to get better loans. Ivanka Trump will testify Wednesday at six oh five. It's handle on the news. Some deposits were delayed at banks all over the US over the weekend. We'll tell you why. But right now, as I mentioned, let's say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, there were people getting out through the Rafa crossing from the Gaza Strip into Egypt,
but that has changed. Apparently it was closed over the weekend. The good news is that we have just learned the rough of border crossing has just opened a short while ago for people foreign nationals, Americans, injured gossens to get through the crossing and out of the Gaza Strip where the fighting is just intensifying
each day. This is really good news because people have been essentially trapped there for weeks and unable to get out because of these very sensitive negotiations that have to go on between comeas Egypt, Israel, the United States, the un You know, there's security checks for each person on the list, and then there's the logistics of getting through the crossing while also AID trucks are coming in. About seventy five AID trucks got in yesterday. We're hoping at least the
same number come in today. As you know, clean water and food and medical supplies are dwindling in the strip, still no fuel getting in. Israel is adamant that it will not allow fuel in because it fears Hamas will steel those stockpiles or aid of a fuel and use it to keep its tunnel network going. I remember it has very sophisticated tunnels with ventilation and lighting and heating and all the rest. So that is one of the sticking points between Israel
and the international community. But this is good news. God willing some more Americans will get out today. And do we know why it was closed over the weekend, Well, it was close in part, I believe in response to the Israeli strike on an ambulance Friday that killed fifteen people near the Alshava Hospital. Israel claims that this ambulance was part of a convoy heading to the Rafa border crossing. They say they had intelligence that Hamas militant fighters terrorists were
hiding inside the ambulance. It has been the case in previous wars that Hamas has used ambulances to transfer its fighters throughout the Gaza Strip and move arms and even try to get some of its leaders to you know, across the border to flee and escape. So it wasn't an accident. It appears that it was targeted. Now if it if it was a mistrike, not an accident, right, so yeah, if it had been, Israel admits it makes mistakes. Correct or do they admit and it makes mistakes? No, it
does. It does. I mean in every conflict, Israel ends up admitting where it makes mistakes because war is an imperfect science, right, and there's there's going to be mistakes. For example, last night, a rocket from Lebanon killed an Israeli civilian. Israel responded and hit a civilian car that it believed was carrying militants. It was not. It was carrying a grandmother and
her three kids. That appears to have been a mistake. That the Israeli Army hasn't put out a statement yet that they are telling and they're preparing the press for that announcement. So Israel does make mistakes. It is doing all that it feels it possibly can under war to try to protect civilians. Today it has secured evacuation routes from the north to the south. Some of those routes in the past have been attacked by Hamas they've attacked Israelis trying to keep
them safe. They've attacked Gosins who are trying to flee south and we have to remember the Gaza Strip is run by a terrorist organization. One of its leaders just said a few days ago, Hey, we take care of our own people, the civilians. That's up to the UN, I mean,
which gives you an idea of how Hamas operates. They don't feel responsible for all the Gosins and you know that live in the strip, and certainly most of them do not support come off, so they could never even you know, express descent or ask for accountability or anything because it is it is a it's a terrorist dictatorship in the Gaza Strip. Yeah, you know, I was watching All the Light we cannot see over the weekend. It's a new show on I think it's on Netflix. I can't remember, but it is.
It's set in World War two and in the show, the Allies are dropping leaflets and telling people to get out, and it made me think of Israel, because the Germans were blocking the exits out of the city and the Allies are dropping leaflets saying we're going to start bombing. You got to get out, and it just reminded me of what's happening in Israel or actually in the Gaza strip. Now, yeah, yeah, that's what I mean,
that's what Israel's doing. It's dropping leaflets, it's putting onto in Arabic, it's breaking into radio signals and putting messages, it's sending text messages, it's putting things on social media. I mean, you know, Israel actually delayed its ground offensive because of the civilian population. That was one of the major factors. Everyone was saying, why aren't the Israelis going in yet, what's
happening? Well, there were other factors. You know, the United States also needed to get its self in certain positions and you know, protect American assets. Should Hazballah have jumped in, you know, and they still may and whyden this conflict. But part of the calculation was we need to try to get as many civilians out of Gaza City. That is going to be the main focus of the first part of the war because that is a Hamas stronghold. And you know, so far, the Australian Armies says they believe
about seven hundred thousand people have gone south. That still leaves three hundred thousand people in the area of Gaza City. So you know there are people that are that are getting caught in the fire storm. All right, well, we will continue to watch ABC Stero Dana Miller in Jerusalem. Thank you so much for the update this morning. Thanks so much. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room.
A wildfire, the burn nearly twenty five hundred acres in Awanga, east of Temecula, has been surrounded. Evacuation orders and road closures were lifted yesterday. The fire started near a home a week ago. The exact cause is being investigated. The fire destroyed thirteen buildings and damaged three. Two firefighters were hurt. Three boys have been stabbed at an apartment complex in Thousand Oaks. The three teams were near the community pooled in the complex when the stabbings happened.
The Ventura County Sheriff's Department says the attacks happened just before nine Saturday night, and an immediate motive isn't clear, though the department said it received multiple nine to one one calls about a fight in the eight hundred block of Saint Charles Drive, where the complex is located. Investigators the same moments before the deputies
arrived, five six males ran away from the area. The three boys who were attacked are fourteen to seventeen years old and received severe stab wounds, but are expected to fully recover. Steve Gregory k if I News jury selection is set to begin in San Francisco in the federal trial of the man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi. David Depap is facing attempted kidnapping charges for the attack on then house speaker Pelosi's husband last fall. Pelosi was attacked in his home with
a hammer. Prosecutors said to Pap told police he wanted to confront Nancy Pelosi and break her knee caps if she lied. Two people have been killed in a minivan crash with a metro bus in downtown LA. Police say they were chasing the minivan yesterday afternoon, just off the ten Freeway when it crashed. Actually it was yesterday morning. Two people in the backseat of the minivan were killed. The other two were taken to the hospital. Israeli troops are expected
to enter Gaza City in mass either today or tomorrow. Gaza health officials say is Israeli airstrikes hit two refugee camps yesterday in the Central Gaza Strip. Israel is rejecting a push by the US to take a humanitarian pause. The University of Southern California football program is cutting ties with defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. He took a lot of heat during USC's poor defensive performance, ranking one hundred eighteenth
in run defense and one hundred nineteenth in total defense. Cono, you're excited about that, oh man. It was a very sad loss, but a very good win for USC fans with him being gone, okay, and there you have it, sports goober, Cono. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. The US has sent a guided missile submarine to the Middle East. Is that a signal of strength or a signal that things are about to get worse? We'll be talking about it. At five point fifty.
We're going to be talking with a B expert from UC San Diego about a really sad thing that happened recently in Southern California. Three million b's just up and died and try to find out why. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, we're a year out from the election and Americans are not at all happy with anybody in the government. Well,
that's right. And this ABC News IPSOS poll that we're talking about this morning shows that three quarters of the country beliefs were heading in the wrong direction seventy six percent. Just twenty three percent in our survey they we're heading in the right direction. And when you couple the results of this survey with others that have come out in the last forty eight hours, you get some very
worrisome signs for the president's hopes of winning a second term. The New York Times Siena College poll has Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden in five of the six key swinging states that are pivotal to any presidential election. The five are Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, where the New York Times Siena College survey has Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden by anywhere from four
to ten points if the election were held today. And it's not being held today, but if it were, these survey results show that Donald Trump could win the presidential election. Now, all the necessary caveats are important to air and say. Now it is a year before the election. Surveys a year before the election are not necessarily the predictive of the outcome. There's plenty of time for the candidates to make their cases to the American people, and lots
of things can happen between now and then. In particular, Donald Trump could find himself a convicted felon before the next election, and that could certainly change the dynamic. Yeah, you would think that it would so. But now, this isn't the first poll now showing that Trump could beat Biden. So I know that a lot of times when a first poll comes out, they go, oh, it's an outlier. Is this showing a pattern? Yes, And that's why it's worrisome for the Biden campaign. It probably lines up
with their own internal polling. These surveys from ABC, CBS, the New York Times consistently show that Americans are concerned about the economy, about inflation, and they're looking to the incumbent president to say, well, all right, what are you going to do about it? The CBS News poll that came out yesterday indicates that by nearly thirty points, Americans believe that Donald Trump has
better ideas on how to improve their economic condition than Joe Biden. Today, the president goes to Wilmington, Delaware, to tout his administration's efforts to improve the nation's infrastructure, in particular the rail lines on his beloved Amtrak. He's going to call it the most significant investment made in Amtrak since the railroads founding
five decades ago. But the survey indicates that Americans do not have the sense the confidence that the White House believes they ought to have about this idea that
biden Omics is working for them. The White House would argue, well, it takes time, and people need to understand and appreciate all the things that have been done, and so many things are beyond the President's control, and he's really working to reduce prices and help Americans afford the things they need in the face of unprecedented Republican obstruction, they would say, But the surveys frankly indicate on the whole, particularly and you see in the erosion of black and
Hispanic voters away from Joe Biden. Tore Donald Trump that on key table issues, Americans doubt that Joe Biden has the right ideas for them. Okay, and it's not I was just going to ask you, who, what are the groups that are swinging away because man, they got to hate Biden a lot to go over to Trump because Trump is very disliked at all. Well, and our poll indicates just the deep on popularity of both these men.
Americas are not particularly interested in the rematch between Biden and Trump, but that looks like what they're going to get. Donald Trump is a sixty percent unfavorable rating in our survey. Joe Biden is a fifty percent unfavorable rating. The favorable bulls. Only about a third of the country, respectively, has a positive view of either man, and a third of voters say that they would
rather vote for somebody else. Some way of interpreting other surveys would indicate that even more people would rather the choice be someone other than Joe Biden or Donald Trump for their respective parties. But look, at the end of the day, unless an alternative emerges, elections are generally binary choices, and there are several reasons why people make their decisions, and there are lots of external factors that a situation going on overseas. You could look at individual issues domestically,
abortion is a key motivator. Will be looking tomorrow at the state legislative races in the state of Virginia, where abortion is very much top of mind, and we'll see if that motivates more Democrats to come out in an off off year election to elect a state legislature that might be less inclined to do with the Republican governor of Virginia would like, which is imposed a fifteen week abortion
ban. So there are lots of things, plus the idea, as I mentioned earlier, of Joe Biden running against a potentially convicted felon the idea that Donald Trump stands accused of more than ninety criminal counts. Today he's in a New York City courtroom to talk about how he didn't commit financial fraud in the
way that the state Attorney General in New York says that he did. And so the concerns about democracy and what Donald Trump would do if he were and the Washington Post over the weekend had a baffo story about how Donald Trump, if he had his brothers and becomes president again, would possibly send the military into American cities and voting the Insurrection Act, that he would weaponize the Justice Department to not just go after his political opponents on the other side of the
aisle, but those who were working for him in his White House, people like his former chief of staff John Kelly, who have since been sharply critical of Donald Trump. So there are a lot of factors that will go into people's decisions between now and next year. But today's survey results indicate that the
situation is worrisome for the White House and the Biden campaign. Yeah, and I think it'll be interesting too to see if it is those two, what voter turnout is going to be like, because you know, at the last election, people were maybe voting some were voting for but some were voting against the other guy. But this time, if everybody's like I don't want this person, are they going to turn out at all? Well, look, I think you know, the idea of a disaffect did electorate is certainly something
that will come into play. Both sides will do their best to really ramp up their bases. I think Joe Biden seeing some of his base eroad is particularly worrisome for him when it comes to turn out relative to twenty twenty one. Thing you have to keep in mind is that the twenty twenty election happened in the middle of the COVID pandemic, a number of people voted by mail in areas where they might not otherwise vote by mail, So we'll see if
that has an impact. Apples to Apple's comparisons are tough to draw in a circumstance like that, but I think you're right to say that in twenty twenty, a number of people did come out to vote against the then incumbent Donald Trump because they were perhaps exhausted by all of the trump Ism that was in our politics that he was leading. And we'll see if that plays a factor. I don't think Americans have forgotten that, but I think that the present
economic concerns and the idea that Joe Biden simply doesn't have. This again, it's just a concept, not criticism, but the concept that Americans are voicing is that Joe Biden doesn't have the right ideas for how to turn things around economically at a time of high interest rates and high inflation. Even as it's cooling, prices are still higher than they were. We're not in a deflationary
cycle where prices are coming down. When you hear about inflation easing, it's the prices are continuing to increase, just at a slower and more normal rate. Yeah, and Stephen Cranberry sauce for this Thanksgiving is up sixty percent this year. Well, there you have it right, Thank you so much, ABC's Stephen Portnoy. You can follow Stephen at Stephen Portnoy. Have a great day. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Hate crimes are on the rise at colleges across the US. Stanford University says the hit and run of an Arab Muslim student is being investigated as a hate crime. The private university near northern California's Silicon Valley released a statement saying the student, who was not seriously injured, was struck on campus Friday afternoon by a black Toyota four Runner and that the driver shouted a slur as he drove off. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's office says the
state officials have to determined it was a hate crime. Stanford University has reported at least five possible hate crimes since the start of the Israel Hamas War. Courtneyattlman KFI News an African gray parrot worth about seventy five hundred dollars has been stolen from a pet shop in Lake Forest. Video shows a man holding the bird yesterday at Omar's Exotic Birds. He walks around the store and eventually walks out when employees are distracted. The stores manager says the parrot is only four
months old and is still hand feeding formula three times a day. The bird is gray with a red tail and a black beak. Hey love this one. It's to pay it forward. Buffalo Bills player DeMar Hamlin is setting up a scholarship program to honor the hospital workers who saved his life. Of course, Hamlin suffered that cardiac arrest on the field in January during a game with
Cincinnati. He ended up in this icee you for a week. Over the weekend, he announced he was setting up ten one thousand dollars scholarships, each one in the name of the ten people on the hospital team that kept him alive. Hamlin said his Cincinnati Heroes scholarship will help underserved high school and college bound students go to private high schools, trade schools, or universities in the
area way to go to mar Hamlin. About eleven hundred people have left the Gaza Strip through the Rafa crossing since Wednesday, under an agreement between the US, Egypt, Israel, and Cutter, which mediates with Hamas. The Rafa crossing was closed over the weekend. But we just talked to ABC's Jordana Miller a few minutes ago, and she says that the crossing has reopened, so more foreign nationals and American citizens and injured people should be crossing into Egypt again
today. The Health Ministry in Gaza sas more than ten thousand Palestinians have now been killed in the war with Israel. Israel says more than five hundred arrant rockets launched by Palestinian militants have landed inside Gaza. A two mile long stretch of beach in Huntington Beach has been closed because of a shark spotted in the waters. People at Sunset Beach let lifeguards know about it yesterday afternoon after they saw a beached whale with bite marks. The shark was then seen splashing near
the whale, which was still alive. The closure will be in effect for forty eight hours. We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning. Donald Trump is expected to take the stand today in his fraud trial in New York and this morning we have a little change of plans. We were planning on talking to a professor at U SEE San Diego who is an expert in the field of bee by biology and evolution. We're having trouble connecting with
him. But what we wanted to talk to him about, which I still want to tell you about, was in southern California last month. Actually it was about a month and a half ago. Now. There is a San Diego bee sanctuary and the people who operate it went out to go check on their hives and they thought, you know, it'll be like normal, They'll
see all the bees flying around making honey like they do. But instead they found piles and piles of dead bees, and over the next few days, eighty percent of their sixty four hives were decimated by some sort of mysterious plague. Three million bees in southern California. Really sad, but still a mystery as to what caused the mass die off at the San Diego bee sanctuary.
And the gentleman that we were going to be talking to says that we have seen reports of die outs from different bee keepers around southern California, but to lose eighty percent of a population is just not normal, and so they're trying to figure out why. And do you remember the Bee movie. Everybody thought it was really cute and they killed off the bees and then nothing worked anymore.
Well, that's what is going to happen. So whenever I see bees, I always think save the bees, and I wish there was something I can do. I don't think it's probably very practical to have a hive in my apartment, but if you have the land. I actually know people who do have their. They have little bee farms, and I think it's a lovely thing to do, and we need them, and I always try not to sweat them when they come and scare me. Let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

radiant heat. A woman from Anaheim has been sentenced to nearly fifteen years in prison for torturing her ten year old stepdaughter and abusing three other kids in the home.

Former President Trump is set to testify in New York in the civil fraud trial targeting the Trump organization. ABC News legal contributor Ken Nowadays says there is a risk for
Trump on the stand today. The more that the former president says and goes into, the more record he creates that can be used against him, frankly in this case and potentially in the other cases that are pending against him and remember those other cases are criminal cases. Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump took the stand last week. The judge has already ruled the Trump committed fraud. The trial is to determine penalties. Police in Massachusetts are trying to find a
man suspected of fatally stabbing his girlfriend. ABC's Andrea Fujii says the woman's body was found Boston Logan International Airport on Wednesday, two days after she was reported missing.

Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to pick up a big endorsement in Iowa. ABC's Mary Alice Parks says Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds will announce her support for DeSantis at a rally this afternoon. There's a big chunk of voters that are looking for an alternative, and of course Iowa was when voting starts, and so if she is really signaling to other Republicans in her state here with her endorsement, I think it could make a big difference. It's a big win for DeSantis.
Former President Trump called Governor Reynolds disloyal and claimed the endorsement will be the end of her political career. Five Nights at Freddie's has taken the number one spot at the box office for a second week, taking in almost nineteen and a half million dollars in its second week. Taylor Swift The Era's Tour holds at number two, and the Martin Scorsese movie Killers of the Flower Moon stays in third. Industry people say this was one of the slowest weekends at movie
theaters all year. Okay, so a second ago, I was telling you about bees. Bees are good, mosquitoes flies not so much. But have you noticed that there's lots of mosquitoes and flies around this year? Like we're into November and there were still flies flying around, which I usually only have buzzing around my apartment in the summertime, and even mosquitos. I got bit last week. So why is that? I'm a person who needs to know the answers, So this is apparently why. It's because we usually have lower
mosquito fly populations because we have mild temperatures and low humidity. Southern states have mild winters, but they have high humidity during the summer months, and that's kind of ideal for the mosquitoes and the flies. And this year, because of all the weird brother we had and the rain flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes, which thrive in warm, humid environments, got to thrive around southern California. I hope we get a cold snap really quick, because I am ready
for them to be gone. This is KFI and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. We lead local live from the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. I'm Amy King.
