Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Another round of rain is on the way.
Speaker 3The next round of stormy weather is set to strike today and into Friday, bringing moderate rain and mountain snow.
Authorities will again watch recent burn areas for possible debris and mudflow, particularly with the ground already saturated from recent rain.

Speaker 1News brought to you by ruterhiroo dot com.
UC regents have voted to hike tuition for new students.
The Tuition Stability Program, voted on yesterday allows for tuition hikes of up to five percent a year, but it locks in the tuition cost for the incoming students for up to six years.
The Board of Regents approved the Tuition Stability Plan in twenty twenty one.
It took effect in twenty twenty two.
Lots of protests at UC campuses yesterday, but that did not change the regent's minds.
The man accused of driving under the influence while on probation for two DUIs and killing a thirteen year old boy in Dana Point Is Ding court today.
The boy was hit Tuesday morning while walking to school with his little brother.
The alleged driver, Bradley Funk, was booked on suspicion of hit and run, driving under the influence, and second degree murder.
Because of his prior to UI convictions, LA County could provide legal defenses to employees if they get charged over an immigration enforcements.
Speaker 4Supervisors makes it clear this isn't about employees who go to protest or who antagonize federal agents.
Supervisor Holly Mitchell says the plan is to protect employees who act in good faith and without violence while on the job and when immigration agents show up there.
Speaker 1Immigration enforcement activities create fear, anxiety, chaos, and concern among both residents as well as our employees.
Speaker 4Supervisors expressed worries about immigration actions interfering with county business at government, medical and other facilities, and say they want to have workers backs Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1It's five oh seven on your Thursday morning wake up call.
Let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen portnoy.
So, Stephen, the Justice Department has brought charges against former FBI Director James Comey.
But is that case unraveling?
Speaker 5Yeah, it certainly seems to be hanging by thread.
Speaker 6Amy.
Speaker 5I mean, what happened yesterday was really remarkable.
District Court judge and Alexandria, Virginia, just south of Washington, d C asking very critical questions about how this has all come about.
Remember, Comy is accused by prosecutors of lying to Congress more than five years ago when he reiterated earlier testimony in which he said he never authorized anyone inside the FBI to leak to reporters.
The US Attorney acting US Attorney nor for Virginia, woman named Lindsay Halligan, who's never been a prosecutor before, was an insurance lawyer by trade and an advisor to President Trump in the White House, most recently tasked with routing out alleged inappropriate content at the Smithsonian.
Was handpicked to be installed as the prosecutor for Virginia.
Everywhere from northern Virginia and the DC suburbs all the way down to the Hampton Roads area which includes Norfolk, Virginia, where Lindsay Halligan also has indicted Letitia James, the New York State Attorney General.
Now in the Coombe case, Halligan went into the grand jury room and what she wrot revealed yesterday is as she was talking to the twenty three members of the grand jury, they voted on the three counts that she recommended against Komi.
The grand jury rejected one of those counts, but they approved the other two.
Now, what she revealed yesterday is that when she handed up the indictment, she had two copies.
One had the three counts and the other had two counts.
She says that the grand jurors themselves only reviewed the three count indictment.
One of the charges was rejected and the other paper the four persons signed and one other grand juror saw, but the other members of grand jury didn't see.
And that was a revelatory moment that led to murmurs in the courtroom yesterday because it suggests that that indictment wasn't properly presented to the court.
Because if you have the grand jury not actually reviewing the paper that they apparently have voted on.
It calls into question whether they knew what they were voting on.
Speaker 1So I'm a little confused on why would they vote for it if they didn't review it.
Speaker 5Well, the argument is they reviewed the broader three count draft, and so the argument is, well, your honor, and I'm paraphrasing your honor, they knew what they were voting on, They saw all three counts, they rejected one of them.
So what difference does it make the four person signed a shorter one that had that first count removed?
Isn't that okay?
Speaker 1They knew what they were voting on?
Well, maybe or maybe not.
Did something get changed?
Speaker 5Yes, the first count was right, the first count was removed, well, right?
Speaker 1But did the other two stay the same.
Speaker 5As far as we can tell?
But that's again, that would be you'd have to find those facts.
You'd have to I don't know what the process is.
You bring all twenty three members of the grand jury and ask them whether they knew what they were voting on.
The idea here is that the judge is going to have to determine whether that's enough to throw out the indictment.
There are other reasons by the way that the judge may decide to throw out the indictment.
There's the argument that it's a selective and vindictive prosecution coming at the direction of the President himself.
Speaker 7You know.
Speaker 5There is the argument that Lindsay Halligan wasn't properly appointed because there was a nominee for that job who the President ousted and he installed Halligan instead.
One issue came up yesterday in court as to whether the Justice Department would put forward the recommendation from the Attorney US Attorney's office that this prosecution not be brought, and the Justice Department lawyer said, your honor, I'm under instructions by the Deputy Attorney General not to answer questions about that in this courtroom, which also was a pretty remarkable thing to have happened.
Speaker 1Okay, I know you got a run.
Do we know when we're expecting a decision?
We do not know, Okay, ABC.
Stephen Portenoy, thanks so much for all the information you bet.
Like I always say, Stephen is so good at helping us kind of sort through this kind of stuff because things on the surface seem pretty simple, but boy, there's a lot of details to dig into.
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the K twenty four hour news room.
President Trump has signed the bill ordering the Justice Department Department to release the Epstein files.
Attorney General Pam Bondi says her department will now work with any new information that pops up.
Speaker 8We will continue to follow the law again while protecting victims, but also providing maximum transparency.
Speaker 1The DOJ has thirty days to release all the files.
Well, looks like we have a plan.
President Trump has apparently signed off on a twenty eight point Russia Ukraine peace plan.
The plan's been in the works for weeks, with US officials Special Envoy Stephen Witkoff, Vice President Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio talking with both Russian and Ukrainian representatives, and American delegations now in Kiev to meet with Ukrainian officials.
Funeral services for former Vice President Dick Cheney are being held this morning at Washington's National Cathedral.
More than a thousand people are expected to be there, including former Presidents Joe Biden and George W.
Bush.
There are reports it's that neither President Trump or Vice President Advance were invited.
Janey was a strong critic of Trump.
Following the January sixth riot at the Capitol, the Food and Drug Administrations pushing for a recall of all by heart infant formula products following the illness of dozens of babies.
Speaker 9The FDA says thirty one infants have been hospitalized across fifteen states with suspected or confirmed botulism and linked to buy hard whole nutrition infant formula products.
Speaker 1ABC's Michelle Franzen says the recall includes all unexpired lots of formula cans and single serve anywhere pack sticks.
TSA agents say there's still coming across flyers who don't have a real ID or a passport.
Those are now required to fly.
ABC Sam Sweeneys's to help solve that problem in the TSA's proposed a new fee for those passengers.
Speaker 10TSA is proposing a new rule where passengers would face a fee of eighteen dollars.
Passengers will have their identity verified on a new biometric KIOSK system before they're permitted to pass through the security screening checkpoint.
Speaker 1The TSA says the current system is outdated and this new plan will streamline the process.
A new study has named the best states for on time flights ahead of Thanksgiving travel.
California is in the top ten that's studied by travel insurance marketplace.
Square Mouth analyzed flight delays and cancelations and found Hawaii is number one.
Delayed or canceled flights there are at thirteen percent.
California checks in at number nine on the list with almost twenty percent of flights affected.
After two centuries and another movie reboot, reboot, Frankenstein is still more science fiction than fact.
Speaker 11The new adaption of Mary Shelley's gothic Frankenstein on Netflix has people asking if an assembled body could ever breathe, bleed, or think.
And Adamus say electricity can make muscles twitch, while limb and organ transplants had become more successful since Frankenstein was written in eighteen eighteen.
But sewing together entire bodies and making the pieces work is more like simulating life, not creating or restoring it.
As far as the thinking part, connecting a brain to a new body, including the spinal cord, the circulation, peripheral nerves, and everything else, is still too far beyond our current capability.
Speaker 1Michael Krozer KFI News.
Another storm's rolling into SoCal forecasters say it'll bring light to moderate rain through tomorrow.
Up to an inch of rain could fall at lower elevations.
Up to two inches are possible in the foothills and mountains.
Three to six inches of snow is possible above about sixty five hundred feet.
California Democratic state Senator Scott Wiener has introduced a bill that would allow people to sue the government if ice agents violate constitutional rights like free speech, unlawful searches, or racial profiling.
Wiener says his legislation would protect Californians from the lawless overreach of the Trump administration and its cronies.
EA agents in La County have seized a massive cash of an animal tranquilizer that's made its way into the illegal narcotics trade.
The Feds say the drugs are typically used on elephants.
Six hundred and twenty eight thousand so called car Fentanel pills receives last month.
One person was arrested.
Agents say the seizure, in their words, mitigated a catastrophic danger.
At six oh five, it's handle on the news.
Students protested, but you see regents didn't listen.
Tuition's going up again, let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan.
So, Jim, NASA gave us a little look at the mysterious three I Atlas comment.
We've been hearing so much about what did we see.
Speaker 6Kind of blurry images?
First of all, would you look through the window there and see if Cono was wearing an aluminum foil hat?
Speaker 1Kno, are you worried about this?
I just it's alien.
So that's what I think.
You think it's alien?
Okay?
Speaker 6Three Well, NASA says it didn't.
So and that's I think part.
Speaker 1Of what course NASA says it is.
Speaker 6Well, of course, right, they want to keep the secret right from the rest of us.
Well, according to NASA and the European Space Agency, three I Atlas is a comment they recognized that early on, right after it was detected in July, early July.
It's only the third and there are lots of reasons that there would be speculation about it.
And then I can I can understand how you know, rumors would start going around.
It's only the third object from beyond our own solar system that we've as a human race, have ever been able to detect, right, and it is acting strangely and it is large, and it's very fast.
One hundred and fifty three thousand miles per hour.
You know when we send rockets up there going about one hundred and or seventeen thousand miles per hour, So this is almost ten times that speed.
Speaker 1So this one feels like it's being like there's propulsion that it would be going that.
Speaker 6Fast, right, that's what that's what folks are saying.
But again I mean and NASA response by saying this came from we don't know where it came from, way way out there beyond our solar system, is billions of years old potentially, and it's been zooming along at that speed for all that time.
So yeah, there are the anomalies that come with it, the unusual minerals that it appears to be giving off the tail originally, so that all has has filed into this.
So I think that really was the elephant in the room yesterday when NASA started the news conference, and so NASA tried at the very beginning to address that, get in front of it and say yeah, and we understand we're as fascinated by this as a lot of people are.
We want to find life out in the universe, somewhere.
But they're saying that three I at lists, just isn't it okay?
Speaker 1And you said it's very large?
How big is it?
Speaker 3Well?
Speaker 6Between fourteen hundred feet and three and a half miles.
I mean it's still tens and tens of millions of miles away, So it's hard to get a beat on that precisely how big the thing is.
But yeah, so somewhere between fourteen hundred feet three and a half miles or about the size of Manhattan, will it hit the Earth.
Speaker 7No.
Speaker 6The geniuses there have done the calculations.
They say it'll pass about one hundred and seventy million miles away from the Earth on December nineteen eighteenth.
Speaker 1And that one hundred and seventy million miles.
Speaker 6Away one hundred and seventy million miles away.
Speaker 1Is that considered a close call?
Celestially it is yes.
Speaker 7To me.
Speaker 6What's fascinating amy is that human beings, maybe we're not as dumb as we look, because we have figured out ways to look at something one hundred and seventy million miles away right, to get some detail of it, to photograph it, then to send those photographs back to Earth.
These the satellites with telescopes are fixed or flying around Mars, and they're out there in the universe and they're taking a look at this stuff.
To me, that's what's amazing is that human beings have figured out how to look at something like that and figure out what it is.
Speaker 1Yeah, are they using the James Web telescope to look.
Speaker 6At this the James Web, they're using Hubble, even they're using.
Speaker 1Pictures should be clearer.
I mean, they have pictures of the galaxy that look like they're just crystal.
Speaker 6They're beautiful, absolutely, and Web has been able to pick this thing out among all those those millions billions of stars out there.
But it's still a long long way away, so I'm not too surprised that the images are still kind of fuzzy.
They should be better once after December nineteenth and we can see exactly what it looks like.
Some of the pictures that have been posted on the Internet from folks who say they know what it looks like.
It sort of looks like a fleet of spaceships zooming around.
Speaker 1So, but those are those fake pictures.
Those are fake pictures, right, you think they are?
Well, who has better pictures than NASA?
Speaker 6People who have these pictures that look like the starship Enterprise.
Speaker 1You know that's that would be cool.
Speaker 6No, I know that would be that would be cool.
Speaker 1Okay, do we know what where it's headed next?
Does it leave our Solar system or does it it does catch gravity and slow down and buzz around, it.
Speaker 6Won't Apparently that's one thing that the folks on the Internet were saying that, well, it passed around the Sun, but the Sun's gravitational pull didn't seem to affect it's trajectory very much.
And NASA says that's true.
But the speculator, the expectation is that it's gonna once it got past the Sun, it comes past Mars and then comes past the Earth and then just continues its lonely voyage back out the other side of our stars system.
Speaker 1Okay, I have one more question for you, because we're talking about propulsion and everybody's like, oh, it's an alien spaceship.
And when I was listening to some reports on it yesterday and they were talking about the jets that are on this, I'm like, what are the jets?
I mean, like, if it has jets, obviously something's going on, but they're naturally occurring jets, right, Yeah.
Speaker 6Events that come off this thing that shoot out different minerals and apparently nickel and some others that are unusual for that.
These are anomalies, and NASA says this came from we don't know where.
It's not too unusual that it would be doing things that a comet from within our solar system would not be doing.
So, yeah, these We're going to learn a lot about this thing over the next few years, and especially as it gets close enough for us to get a better look.
Speaker 1All Right, December nineteenth is the big day.
All right, ABC's Keyes on the Skies, Keep your eyes on the skies.
Thanks Jim, we'll talk to you soon.
Figure La Mayor Bath says wildfire survivors need more time to get back on their feet, and she's asking banks to step up.
Speaker 12Bass wants mortgage lenders to give wildfire survivors an extra three years of breathing room.
Under a California law signed by Governor Newsom back in September, people who lost homes in the January wildfires can pause their mortgage payments for up to one year.
That deadline and the anniversaries of both the Palisades and Eaton fires is now less than two months away.
Bass says that's nowhere near enough time for families still dealing with insurance delays, rebuilding costs, and displacement.
She's urging banks to voluntarily stretch that relief to a full four years of forbearance, giving survivors more stability while recovery drags on.

We couldn't do it without you, so thank you in advance.
Let's get in your business now with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini.
Good morning, Denise, Hey, good morning to you Amy.
How'd you going doing good?
What you got on jobs?
Well?
Speaker 8I mean, if you hear some noise behind me, it could be the champagne corks popping.
Because that September jobs report that was delayed by the shutdown, it just came out way more jobs than expected were created, and we also have stronger than expected results from Nvidia and Walmart, So that means stock futures are really on fire right now, especially Nasdaq futures.
So you know, investors could change their minds and decide this is bad for the prospect for an interest rate cut for the Fed next month, but right now they're partying on Thursday.
Speaker 1How many jobs and how many were they expecting and how many did we see?
Speaker 8Almost twice as many as what we were expecting.
So if you look at the actual number of sorry, if you look at the non farm payrolls, number one hundred and nineteen thousand jobs were created month on month, estimate was something like fifty one thousand amies, So it's actually more than twice what was expected.
Speaker 1Okay, well, that's good.
Speaker 8And of course you know this is all magnified and the impact of it because investors waited so long to get at this report because of the shutdown, and of course, you know, if you wait and you don't know, there's a lot of angst, you know, worrying about what you don't know.
Speaker 1Yes, okay, let's talk about new details about Netflix's offer to buy Warner Brothers.
Discovery.
Speaker 8Yeah, today is deadline day, and sources are telling us that Netflix has told Warner Brothers Discovery it would keep releasing the studios films in theaters if it wins the bidding war.
This is very important because up to now Netflix has resisted distributing its movies in theaters, but Warner Brothers has all those contractual obligations.
Speaker 1Right.
Oh, you think Netflix would change its mind after K Pop demons.
Yes, that is also true.
Speaker 8And you know, I think they were sort of staying in their lane and trying not to spend on that kind of expansion, but now they must be salivating at what they can do when they do.
Speaker 1Okay, let's talk about credit scores and how it might soon be measured.
Speaker 8Right, So you maybe have experienced this and some of your listeners as well, where you go to apply for something like a new credit card and you feel your credit's pretty good.
You know, you're paying your bills and you've got some money in the bank, but they say, uh, we're not given it to you because generally they look at things like, you know, your.
Speaker 1Debt to equity ratio and stuff like that.
Speaker 8Well, now Plaid is teaming up with Fair Isaac for this new way of measuring a credit score that includes your real time cash flow, you know, I mean Trevlo.
Yeah, No, not necessarily, because if you're paying your loans somehow, then it doesn't you know, they might just look at and I'm not talking about you in particular, of course, but they might just look at you know, how much you're making from your job, right and what your costs are.
But maybe you're you know, selling designer shoes or something on eBay and you are managing to pay all those bills.
That's what really matters is you know whether you're paying all those bills, not whether on paper you should be able to or not.
Speaker 1All right, getting in your business as we do every day with Bloomberg's Denise Hellegreen.
And nice to have you back.
We'll talk to you tomorrow.
Talk to you tomorrow.
We'll talk about little dogs tomorrow.
Oh okay, we always love talking about dogs.

September's jobs report has dropped, and it was a jaw dropping report.
Let's say good morning now to the CEO and co founder of the Hit Living Foundation, Heather Crow.

Speaker 1So we've got something really fun for you to do with your pup this weekend to get them into the mood for the holidays and maybe get you in the mood too, So please tell us about the second annual Winter Holiday Market.
Speaker 7Oh, I would be delighted to It's going to be so much fun.
There are so many markets, not just in LA but nationwide that are specifically curated for people, and unfortunately, dogs aren't even allowed to most of them.
This is an event incredibly special because it is a dog for dog centric market for dog lovers and those who believe in and want to support our mission.
It's about dogs for the dogs, and through and through.
It's really a community event to help kick off the holiday season.
Speaker 1Okay, and where is it happening.
Speaker 7It is happening this Sunday, November twenty third, at Santa Monica Brewerks from twelve to three pm.
Speaker 1Okay, so brewworks.
So it's at a brewery it.
Speaker 7Is, yep, the Santa Monica Brewerks.
Speaker 1Okay, great, yeah, So tell us about this winter wonderland for dogs and they're humans.
Speaker 7This might be my favorite question of the whole interview.
My team and I have been incredibly thoughtful about the curation of this holiday market since our first holiday market back in twenty twenty four.
