You're listening to a wake up call on demand from KFI AM six forty KFI and KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. This is your wake up call for Thursday, November ninth. Good morning, I'm Amy King. Thanks for getting up with us today. It's five o'clock. Straight up. I'm to get up, get going. I got my coffee, got my oh meal ready to go. Did you watch the debate last night? I think I
told you a few weeks ago. I am a junkie for these things. I love watching the debates. I don't know what it is that entices me, but I well, one, I want to know what they think and what they what the candidates would do. But it's also I don't know, I guess it's must see TV for me, interesting to watch. I think Nicki Haley did great. I was really impressed with her. Vivek Ramaswami he's
an interesting character. I think that he had some good points during the debate and you go, yeah, I could get on board with that, and then he just kind of goes off the rails and you're like, what are you talking about? Tim Scott like him a lot, but don't think it's his time. I don't think he's catching the momentum that he needs. And
Chris Christy, I'm sort of surprised he didn't really add much. I like a lot of the things he has to say, don't like some of the things he has to say, but I just didn't feel like he made much into it an impact. And Ronda Santis I think did well, but I think Nicki Haley was the winner of last night's debate if I had to do that. Of course, that's if Trump wasn't running and wasn't killing it in
the polls, then it would have been a great debate. And the moderators, gotta hand, gotta say hats off to them, mostly kept the candidates in check. Lesterhold he scolded them at one point, and I that went, oh God, because it sounded so condescending. He goes, let's not do that or something like that. I thought it was ridiculous. But for the most part, I think that the moderators did a really good job, better than the other two debates. So much going on today, So glad
that you're here. We're going to tell you all about it. We've got lots of fun stuff coming up and some not so fun stuff of course, because well that's what today is in this world. But here's what's ahead. On wake Up Call, it is finally over SAG after it has called off it's one hundred and eighteen day strike after announcing an agreement with the Hollywood Studios last night. The new deal includes protections for actors against AI and a pay
increase. Actors can now go back to work, but still need to vote to ratify the contract. We're gonna be talking with ABC's Jason Nathanson more about the deal in just a couple of minutes, so don't go away. Israeli strikes have pounded Gaza City into this morning, as ground forces battled Hamas militants in dense urban neighborhoods from which tens of thousands have fled in the last few
days. Egyptian officials say mediators are closing in on a possible deal for a three day ceasefire in exchange for the release of about a dozen hostages held by Hamas. Disney Plus has seen a big bump in subscribers. The company says the streaming service now has more than one hundred and fifty million subscribers. That is up from one hundred and forty eight million the previous quarter. At the same time, the service still lost three hundred eighty seven million dollars. At
six o five, it's handle on the news. We're going to take a closer look at the debate, who won, who lost, and who cares. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Sag after, as I mentioned, has approved a tentative contract deal with the Hollywood Studios, ending the nearly four month long strike.
The deal reached yesterday needs to be ratified. It would boost minimum pay for members, increase residual payments for shows streamed online, and also raise contributions to the union's health and pension plans. It also sets up new rules for the use of AI. The tentative contract heads to the union's National Board for approval tomorrow. Let us in has worn customers in the Lost Florist Canyon area of Malibu about a public safety power outage. Santa Ana winds continue to blow.
Power has been shut off to prevent Wildfire's people were also told this morning to be prepared for possible evacuations as firefighters worked to stop a five acre fire in nearby Topango. It destroyed a two story home. A water main break and boil heights has messed up traffic on the one oh one Freeway. All southbound lanes have been closed at the East fourth Street off Rint because of the flooding. Nick Pouliochini's going to check in and give us the latest on that in
just a couple of minutes. An investigator with the La County Medical Examiner's Office has been charged with stealing from dead people. The DA's office announced the charges yesterday, saying the man stole a gold cross necklace and some rare coins. It says the man has been involved in several cases since he started working in twenty eighteen, so it's possible there could be other stolen items. Winter ski season is back in Lake Tahoe. A storm Tuesday dumped about four inches of
snow. The Sierra Nevada's Mount Rose Ski says the resort's gonna reopen tomorrow for the twenty three to twenty four season. It says it's also been blowing its own snow on top of the fresh powder. Now Tahoe's not the only place where there's snow. We're gonna be talking with the director of ops at Big Bear Snow Snowplay about what's going on there, and I think you're gonna like
it. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jason Nathanson. Jason, just like the TV game show SAG after in the Hollywood studios have played, let's make a deal. Yes they have, and the strike is well not over.
The actors can go back to work as of this morning. Production can start up, so all the writers who have been writing for the past more than a month now and getting those shows in shape for this for when the actors came back, they can start filming and they probably will, you know, I don't know about exactly today, if you know, all the cameras will start rolling, but pretty soon. One of the things they have to
get in is the the last half of the broadcast season. So shows that would normally come back in January for the second half of their season, we'll
come back for the first half of their season on the broadcast networks. They're going to have to learn their lines fast they are, and it's gonna be tough, I think for a lot of those broadcast shows to come back at least in January, because you know, yes, they're coming back now, but we're also coming back right as the holidays start, and the holidays are going to start. They're not going to just blow off all the holidays just to get stuff in. Although I think a lot of shows are going to
work overtime, so we'll see stuff start to trickle back in. I think on the TV side of things, maybe in January, maybe late January, but probably by February. And then a lot of those movies that were filming for next year, a lot of them moved as well, so they'll try to get some of those back on the calendar, but a lot of those
will be moved to twenty twenty five. You know, it's been so interesting about this for me, as just Johnny on the Spot, somebody who watches a lot of TV, is I haven't missed anything with the strike going on because there's so much streaming that and I know that a lot of people have. And I mean, I'm glad that the actors. I'm so glad that
they came up with a deal. I'm glad they're getting back to work, and I'm glad that, you know, the whole industry is back, but it's like they had so much stockpiled that I didn't feel like any big gaping holes, right, And I think that's the difference between this strike and maybe the two thousand and seven writers' strike, where you definitely felt the holes and we were all watching a lot of reality TV because streaming gets pretty streaming,
yeah, yeah, and so now you just have even if you don't have new stuff to watch, you still have, you know, ten seasons or so of Friends and all these other things that maybe you didn't catch up on, because if you look at it, really, I mean, we've had a lack of those really big kind of prestige HBO shows right now, we've had on the streaming services, the lack of some new content that would have been out by now there hasn't been where I know definitely that we're feeling it
right now in terms of new content. It is slowed, and it's not too a trickle, but it is definitely slowed. But there is you know, you're right, there's still new stuff coming out. There's a new Marvel's movie out this weekend. I know we're going to see it today. There's a new Disney movie coming out wish Oh that's next week or no, two weeks from now. In a couple of weeks, there's the Hunger Games movie. What we haven't seen is a lot of these stars promoting these movies over
the past few months, and we're going to start. That's going to be the first thing that's going to ramp up. I know at the premiere last night of Wish it wasn't you know, there wasn't time to get everybody in and to get them on the red carpet and to but the mood there I was there was you know, people were pretty happy to get things back to normal. Well, I'm not even going to ask you about Wish yip because it doesn't come out for a couple of weeks. Yeah, we'll hold on
that, but we'll get to that for sure. We'll have a full review in a couple of weeks. Okay, So in the deal, I know we don't have all of the details yet, but do we know what are some things that they got and what are some things they didn't get. Yeah, I'll give you some of the stuff that they got in terms of didn't get me and not quite sure on that, but definitely we know a few things that they were fighting for. In fact, let's hear from Duncan Crabtree
Ireland himself. He's the chief negotiator for sag Aftra and we talked to him last night. The steal is valued at more than a billion dollars in gains over the term of the contract, which is by far the most we've ever
achieved. Second of all, I would point out that it has AI protections that I think position our members to be being able to rely on a safe and respectful implementation of AI in this industry, not just over the term of disagreement, but even beyond that, and better money, frankly being paid to people who work in the streaming space, where the changes in the business model
have just read havoc on our members' livelihoods. And from what we understand, those last two the AI and the streaming stuff, those were the major sticking points. That's what they've been working on over the past few days. When the AMPTP gave their best, last and final offer last Saturday, and then they went back and revised that best, last and final offer. It wasn't the best, last and final, but how much did the best, last and final change We don't we don't know yet. Yeah, we don't know
the specifics of that. We're gonna get the full it's going to go to the members tomorrow. I believe there's going to be some big meetings so we'll get the full look of exactly what that is. But you know, all sides can agree that these raises are historic. I think the biggest raises ever just in base minimum pay for the actors in the history of sag AFTRA. And yeah, and you know, big stuff for a lot of that. And you know, Duncan Craftory Ireland also said, look, we didn't get
everything in a negotiation. You're not going to get everything. But the reason they held out for one hundred and eighteen days, the longest actors strike ever is to get the stuff that they wanted. And they feel they got that. Yeah, and you know what, the base pay thing, I think is a big thing because like there's the all the actors that are working, they're making the the union minimum. I'm not worried about Amy Adams and George
Clooney and those guys. They're fine, right, And as he said, you know the majority of their members don't make the twenty six thousand dollars a year to qualify for healthcare. Yeah, that's the majority, So you know, if that's the baseline, and they've said that all along, and that's one of the reasons you haven't seen a lot of the big names out there.
And there's been some there's been some grumbling on the strike lines about not seeing the big names out there, but the thought has been always that if those big names were on the strike lines, it would become about them. Yep. And this was never about them. This was not about fighting for
more money for George Clooney. This was fighting for more money for the you know, the kid from Iowa who was moving here to start you know, his life as an actor, or the journeymen and journey women actors who are out there as well, who have been doing this their whole lives. Some years don't qualify for healthcare. Some years they're driving uber to make ends meet. Hopefully this will help with a lot of those people. Well, it's
done. They just have they have to vote on it. But they have been told they can go back to work, so let's do it correct, all right, They can go back to our Jason Nathanson, thanks so much for your insighted information. Appreciate it. Sure, thank take it. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man from Tarzana is behind bars after a woman's remains were found in a dumpster in Encino. LAPD Detective Efrind Gutierrez says the woman's torso was
found yesterday morning. When the officers responded, they discovered a dismembered female wrapped in a plastic bag that was just outside the dumpster. They confirmed that it was a human remains. Police have not yet identified who the woman was, so our part's missing. However, we don't know who she is at this point based on some of the missing the parts, missing limbs. The thirty five year old's children are okay. Police say they searched the man's home and
discovered evidence of a crime, including blood. People have been raising money to help a small restaurant and silmar A severely damaged by burglars. Go fund me page for Buffalo Bruce's Mercantile has raised thousands of dollars. Thieves broke into the small restaurant over the weekend. Owner Vivian Hartman says the burglars took valuable items and smashed up a restaurant with a baseball bat. It police took the broken
bat with him that was by the door with hand shears. Apartment says she suspects the burglars are homeless people and we're likely in a restaurant for a couple of days. Police are looking for the burglars and Silmar Blake trolley. Kay if I News Israel's ramped up its offensive inside Gaza as humanitarian aid trickles in ABC's Matt rivers is at the Nisana border crossing between Israel and Egypt. Women may not be applying for the Federal Food and Nutrition Program because of the stigma
associated with governmental assistance. USDA spokesman Hasus Mendoza says Wick is now making it more discreet for mothers when buying food. He used to be a boucher, paper cupum base and now he's on the Electronic Benefit Transfer EBT card. Any one. About one point four million women and children in the create are eligible for the program based on census data from twenty twenty. That is Chris,
and that is not the story that we were looking for. Israel says it's looking for things like munitions, but also what they call dual use materials like building supplies that Hamas could use to reinforce its tunnels. LAPD has broken up several fist fights that broke out in front of the Museum of Tolerance last night
after its screen footage of the October seventh Hamas attack on Israel. The forty three minute film Bearing Witness is apparently extremely graphic and violent and includes footage recorded on bodycam by members of Hamas. Schools in the Tuestin School District are closed, nine parks are closed, and the city's Veterans Day celebration on Saturday's been
canceled because of the fire at the hangar at Testin Air Base. Air quality samples in the neighborhoods surrounding the hangar tested positive for asbestos and airborne toxics like benzene. The Angels have hired Ron Washington to manage the team after letting manager Phil Nevin go after one and a half seasons. The Angels haven't been to the playoffs since twenty fourteen, Hoping we're Washington can get him there. Washington
comes from Atlanta. He also managed the Rangers for about seven years. The seventy one year old is now the oldest manager in the majors at six oh five at Tendel. On the News, the string of bad news for Biden continues as even California turns against him. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett. Brad, we've seen protests erupt all over the US, but the protests aren't the only thing the US needs
to worry about as the Israel Thamas war continues. No, there's the issue of power grids, of which your state is obviously a rich place for folks to attack. And one of the most recent indictments is a guy up in the San Jose area of northern California that was charged with damaging with explosives to substations in or around San Jose. So it's a huge problem. It's getting
bigger and amy. The problem is that the power grid, the way it's structured, and I'm not suggesting it could be structured much differently, is that it's a vulnerable. All these high voltage power lines that go across the rural
parts of California and other places. Power plants that are given they tend to have a lot of security, but these substations, some of them are a lot of them out in the middle of nowhere are just ripe targets for people who want to damage them, to get attention, to shut down the power, to anger people, to enrage people. They're driven by these two different wars that are going on in Ukraine and Israel La La Moss, and so they use excuses to go after the power grid. And so since the Israelimos
war started, more threats are coming in. Oh, I don't know how the FBI and the other agencies, but primarily the FBI are even keeping up with a number of threats that are getting in particular in arrests in relationship to Hamas in Israel. Ukraine still pops up this guy in San Jose apparently he was motivated by what's going on in Ukraine with Russia. So yeah, I mean the numbers are big, but you know, it's important to talk about this power good because it's such a big deal. I mean, think about
if the power went out in Los Angeles for three days. Yeah, you could use your phone, you couldn't turn the air conditioner on. Think of all the people in the hospital that are on life support or whatever. It might be. Now I simainly have backup generators, but the point being, I mean you could literally shut down the country. And is it a big
concern that like several could be attacked at the same time. Well, there is I read one study that suggested that if you took out strategically nine of the fifty five thousand substations around the country, that you could at least temporarily shut down the power grid. I don't know, you know, if that's
I think that's a potential scenario, possible scenario. Fortunately, Amy that if you look at these attacks from North Carolina to various other states, there's been others in California have been either lone actors or two to three people acting together, but not an organized attack where you would hit like substations. And I'm
making this up in three different states at the same time. That kind of thing we haven't seen, and hopefully we won't, but it's certainly not impossible, and there's a lot of places that they could hit, like you have that the power grid has seventy three thousand power or no not seventy three thousand, seventy three hundred power plants, fifty five thousand transmission substations and one hundred and sixty thousand miles of high voltage power lines, and they're not I mean,
you can't guard them all. You're not going You're not going to You're actually only going to guard a small part of that because think about you know, driving through the countryside in California and you look up and there's these you know, massive sort of triangular shaped towers with big wires, you know, that are running power from Las Vegas to La or wherever it's going. That
those are all potentially vulnerable to somebody taking them out. The substations, A big chunk of those fifty five thousand are in the middle of nowhere, you know, like the two that were attacked in San Jose. So all of that stuff, it's not realistic. And you're talking about jurisdictions who wouldn't have a lot of money for security. You might have cameras, you might not,
But it's the inherent nature of it. And I think, you know, people just need to be aware, and clearly the federal government, in my view, you need to pick up their game as to how to more collectively. You can't, as you pointed out, you can't protect all of
it. But you have to strategically protect more of it. And clearly we haven't even talked about the cyber attack aspect of this, where you don't have to blow anything up, you can just shut it down because you've infected systems with all sorts of malware, which some believe the Russians and Chinese may have already done and they just don't act on it because of the obvious that we would do the same thing to them. Yeah, and it's not only that
they that we need to prepare for it. We also need to come up with contingency plans for if it happens. How do we you know what workarounds could happen? You know, it's right, right, And it's like everything else, we tend not to be good at that, right. Yeah, we wait until the crisis and then address it, as opposed to planning for the crisis, just like have we really planned for the next pandemic? Answers no, And we'll we go through the same drill. God help us if
we do, but we might. I still have my masks, Brad, well, you know, keep it in your pocket. All I can say. Yeah, all right, one more thing to worry about, Thank you. So much, Brad Garrett, No, it's good. We like to have the information because when you know, then you can know how to do something about it. Exactly. All right, Thanks Brad, appreciate it. Have a good day you too. Let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Presidential candidates have weighed in on the Israel Hamas war during the third Republican Debate, which was held in Miami. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie spoke last night about how he's dealt with anti Semitism in the past. Any hate crimes that were going on either against Jewish Americans in New Jersey or Muslim Americans in New Jersey, it takes leadership, lester to know how to do this. You must work with both
sides. Christy said mosques and synagogue should be protected as hate crimes rise in the US. Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Ailey added anyone protesting in favor of Hamas should remember the terrorist group chants death to Israel and death to America.
They hate and would kill you two. Ailey says she told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu to finish them as she put it, President Biden's traveling to Illinois to meet with United Autoworkers President Sean Fain Workers, and Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker. President Biden will praise the uaw FO its strike talks that help reopen ease the Landest factory in Belvedere, Illinois. He is making the trip to highlight how that plant will help create thousands of jobs and promote electric
vehicles. ABC's Andy Field says Biden's trying to contrast himself to some of the Republican presidential candidates he says are less union friendly. In and Out Burger has announced new expansion plans. Following its seventy fifth anniversary. It'll be heading to New Mexico, making it fully in the four corners by twenty twenty seven. There are already in and outs in Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. In
and outs in Idaho and Tennessee are also in the works. Time to get back to work, sag After has called off it's one hundred and eighteen day strike after announcing a tentative agreement with the Hollywood Studios. The new deal includes protections for actors against AI and pay increases. Actors can now go back to work, but do still need to vote to ratify the contract. As one
strike ends, another one's about to begin. Eleven hundred maintenance employees at all twenty two California State University campuses are getting ready to walk off the job next week. The union says electricians, plumbers, mechanics, locksmiths and others keep the campuses running and they deserve a fair contract. Israeli strikes pounded Gaza City
overnight as ground forces battle Hamas militants in dense urban neighborhoods. Egyptian officials say mediators are closing in on a possible deal for a three day ceasefire in exchange for the release of about a dozen hostages held by Hamas. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said there will be no ceasefire until all the hostages are free. At six oh five TANDL on the News, presidential candidate Nikki Haley says
Vivek Ramaswami is scum. That happened during last night's debate. We'll tell you what sparked that one. At five point fifty ski season is opening in Lake Tahoe this weekend, but closer to home, Big Bear has gone totally tubular. We're going to talk to the director of operations at Big Bear Snowplay in about fifteen minutes. I went out and about to the California Science Center because
some big changes are coming there. As we talked about yesterday, the solid rocket motors are being lifted to an upright position, and the Space Shuttle Endeavor is also going to be moved and lifted into launch position at the Space Center. So we wanted to go and get a look at the Space Shuttle, which is on display now, but it's going to go away for a while during the transition to the new exhibit. Jeffrey Rudolph is the president and CEO
of the California Science Center. We got to see a real life spacecraft. So cool, Jeffrey, what are we looking at now? This is the Space Shuttle in it is twenty five missions in space. It shows it. It's wonderful. It's an amazing craft that both the spacecraft and then a glider when it lands back on Earth. We've been thrilled to have it here for about eleven years now. I remember when it got here. It flew over my house. When it was flying over the Griffith Park Observatory and I was
like, that is the most incredible thing ever. And then we came down here to see it. This is the orbiter, which is the part that the astronauts to be on and the payloads would be on, and it would go into space for usually about two weeks, off into the space station some missions before that, and then come back to Earth and land on the runway at Kidney Space Center and prepare for another mission. Which is an amazing feat
in and of itself. So how big is this that? Oh, it's about one hundred and twenty plus feet long, seven to eight feet wide and about sixty feet tall, which was quite a trick to move it through the city of la I know, we watched it. We all watched it, Okay, So we want to take a closer look too, because the intense heat that this thing has to endure to come in and go out of the atmosphere is just incredible. And the entire thing is covered with all these little
squares right. These are what it's called the thermal protection system, and these tiles are all made to prevent heat from destroying the spacecraft, and yet they need to be lightweight, because the trick on space travel is that every pound
to orbit takes an enormous amount of energy. I'm thinking about eight pounds of fuel for every pound you take into orbit, which is why you have that massive external fuel tank that's on the back and those solid rocket boosters that all together will launch this into space and go from zero to seventeen hundred miles an hour in eight minutes. That's so cool. So okay, Jeffrey, how
did you get this space shuttle? There was a big national competition. We actually thought about it when we did the master plan for the California Science Center in the early nineteen nineties and said, what are some big things we'd want in our future science center, and we knew we were going to do an air and space thing. We said, someday they're going to retire the space shuttles and we should try to get one. And we said, I love
that. We should try to get one, and when we do, we should put in launch position because this the orbiter, couldn't go into space by itself. The whole story is about the enormous energy it takes to go into space and what a complex business it is to get people or things into space. So we said we should show the whole stack, and that, in fact is what we're doing, okay, And so a new book brings us
to why we're here today. One because this display the shuttle as it is now is I'm only going to be on display until the end of the year. That's true. This exhibit, which is the temper Exhibit of Endeavor in the Samulotion pavilion, will close December thirty first this year, twenty twenty three.
It will close to make it possible for us to move Endeavor and the solid rocket boosters and the external tank into the new Samuelotion there in Space Center, which is now in construction, right, and you've got like the base of it is pretty much done, so you're like, okay, that's pretty good. You move the rocket the rocket motors over which we saw them going through the streets of La not too long ago. That was super exciting, and so you're going to take this out of the building, move it over
there and stand everything upright. We put the solid rocket boosters in first, then we put the external tank, and then we put Endeavor because they all attached that way. We've already put in the what it's called the aft skirts, which is the very bottom piece of the solid boosters. They are vital because they're the only thing on this whole thing when it goes to launch that
attached to the launch pad. Okay, And we have those attached to our seismic isolation pad so that in the event of a big earthquake endeavor, we'll move independently the building and be safe. Very high tech, okay. And it's going to stand up, So it's going to close. We're not going to see it for a few years. We don't know yet when the upright
exhibit is going to open guesstimate. Yeah, we're we're going to put it in this early next year, and then the rest of the building will take about another year and a half to complete the building, and then we're going to put in the exhibits. We've got aviation gallery, space gallery we're looking
at We're putting in the four fifty feet of a seven forty seven. We've got other spacecraft got from the past, the Murcury Gemin Apollo, will have a SpaceX Dragon, we'll have a robotic space flight that have gone to the outer planets. We'll look at so a lot of stuff going in and that will take us some time after that, so we're looking about three to four years. And this is Jeffrey's baby, like he is the guy behind this.
This has got to be so exciting for you. So what's exciting for you right now is that it's time to come and see the Space Shuttle in its current position. It is spectacular and it's here until the end of this year. Thank you so much, Jeffrey Rudolph. Thank you. Amy.
Okay, So I also invite you to go to my Instagram at Amy K King so you can see the shuttle and hear the entire interview because we get up really close and you can see the little panels that we were talking about, you can see the scorch marks, you can see little pieces of damage to the shuttle, and you get to walk right underneath it. And it's as you heard Jeffrey saying, it's ginormous and spectacular and it's here until the
end of the year at the California Science Center. So it definitely worth going to check out. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Police in Long Beach have fatally shot a man suspected of stabbing his mother. Police were called yesterday about the attack. They say they found the man still holding the knife and that he advanced toward an officer when he was shot. The man also had stabbing injuries. He
died at the hospital. A study by the USDA shows thousands of Californians eligible for the Women, Infant, and Children program are not signing up for benefits. Women may not be applying for the federal Food and Nutrition program because of the stigma associated with governmental assistance. USDA spokesman Hesus Mendoza says Wick is now making it more discreet for mothers when buying food. He used to be a boucher, paper cupum base, and now he's on the Electronic Benefit Transfer EBT
card, and he's like a debit card. About one point four million women and children in the state are eligible for the program, based on census data from twenty twenty one, but only about two thirds are participating. Chris Adler KFI News New York's attorney general has rested the state's case in the two hundred
and fifty million dollar civil case against the Trump organization. Prosecutors are expected to try to have some defense witnesses disqualified today before Trump's lawyers present their case on Monday. LAPD has broken up several fist fights that broke out in front of the Museum of Tolerance last night after its screen footage of the October seventh Hamas attack on Israel. The forty three minute film Bearing Witness is extremely graphic and

a majority of Californians disapprove of the job President Biden is doing. A UC Berkeley survey shows fifty two percent disapprove of Biden's performance as president, scored low in how he's handling inflation, immigration, and the war between Israel and Hamas. We're just a few minutes away from handle on the news this morning, a big brothel involving some big wigs in the US government and military. What could possibly be wrong with that? Let's say good morning now to the

decided to start up their snowmaking last night. Also, it's eighty degrees here but wintertime in Big Bear and so are you guys open now or opening soon? We are open. We opened last Friday. We have anywhere for foot to four foot base already started with two runs, and over this next week our heill will be expanding to four to five runs and into Thanksgiving hopefully seven Very cool. Okay, So now, just to be clear in case you're not familiar with it, Big Bear Snowflake is a snowplate. Is a tubing
area? Correct, We're tubing area. We have two uphill moving sidewalks, conveyor belts called magic carpets, so you don't have to walk. Oh cool, a huge base lodge where you can get warm, get hot chocolate for the family, a nice little snack bar. And also we have a ropes course that's open on weekends. What's a ropes course. So there's a second and third floor to it. There's thirty one elements. You hook it at the bottom and go up to set of stairs to the first floor and you
can go through all kinds of jungle gym type features. Oh okay, great, And I want to talk about this magic carpet because it's snowplay is different because it's different than just going out into the mountains finding some a patch of snow and jumping on your tube because you can do it over and over and over with the magic carpet, which so it's just a conveyor belt and people just stand on it and it takes up to the top of the hill with your tube all right, So as you get to the bottom and you grab
your tube, jump on the lift and up you go. You can play all day, don't get tired. I love that. And for people who have not been tubing before, but are going, Okay, I want some snow. I'm headed up to Big Bear Snowplay. What do they need to know before they go? Right now? The roads look good. Next week we do have our first storm coming in, so always check the website for road and chain conditions, and when you're in the mountains, carry your chains
with you. I love this too because I got people go snow skiing and it's I love snow skiing, but it is expensive and you really, you know, this is another kind of fun family or date activity that you can do and you don't have to have any skill. You just have to be able to PLoP on down in a tube and head down the hill right where a smile maker where all the families come together. I love it. Okay, and you're open? Which days are you open again? Seven days a
week? Oh great? And then as soon as we head into our real season hours, we'll have night sessions also Friday and Saturday night from five till nine. And that's glowtubing. Glow tubing. So do you just put lights on the hillside and or is there anything? Yes, we have colored lights that are on the hill and slide up. It's another huge family opportunity. Up here for smile. I love it.
