But how did it go from a children's book in eighteen ninety nine to a blockbuster movie on the big screen more than one hundred and twenty five years later.

I found a documentary that tells that story, and I'll tell you about that coming up.

Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room.

Hundreds of people in Ventura's Pierpont neighborhood have been warned not to use tap water because trace amounts of gasoline have been detected in the city's water supply.

Officials say the water is unsafe for drinking, cooking, washing hands, bathing, orior gation, and filters or boiling it will not make it safe.

Bottled water is being offered to people in the Pierpont area.

Great, great, just in time for Thanksgiving.

Heavenly and South Lake Tahoe open Monday after a short three day delay.

We have Stephen Portnoy standing by.

Good Morning, Stephen.

We talked about the Pentagon investigating Arizona Senator Mark Kelly and the possibility that he would be reactivating the active duty to face possible charges.

Now we're hearing the FBI wants to talk to all six of the lawmakers who were involved in that video.

So tell us what's up.

Please?

Yeah, I don't know, there's much more to say than that.

I mean, look, the FBI is now aiming to interview these six Democrats who appeared in this video in which they urged members of the military intelligence community to ignore illegal orders.

Those Democrats say they were simply restating the law, and the situation may be different from Mark Kelly, the Arizona Democrat who, as a retired Navy captain who retired after his wife, Gabby Gifferts, was shot in twenty eleven.

He who collects benefits, still subject to military law and could see a reduction in rank, of reduction in his retirement benefit, perhaps even a court martial.

He told Jimmy Kim Alive last night that the President is infringing on the First Amendment rights of these members of Congress, never mind the speech or debate clause, which is a unique situation for members of Congress.

You have the ideal that the FBI is now seeking to open an investigation into these Democrats for what they said in a political video is very interesting.

You know, a lot of legal experts we've spoken with say that it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the government to make a case that these members of Congress violated the law.

Because while there's a statute that dates back to nineteen forty called the Smith Act that was passed out of fear of serversive activities the spread of communism.

It says that you cannot try to advocate for a member of the military to commit an active insubordination or mutiny.

That's what the law says.

But in nineteen sixty nine, the Supreme Court ruled, in a landmark case interpreting the First Amendment, no matter what the law says about speech, you can't prosecute it unless that speech is likely to cause an imminent act of lawlessness by somebody else.

And that imminence is important, and the likelihood is also important.

And one element of that would be, you know, can you point to an example of someone actually taking that advice of your advocacy and then carrying out the act which you advised?

And these democrats say they can't even name an illegal act that these members of the military have been ordered to undertake.

Never mind this idea that you know, what they really meant was that those in the chain of command should ignore legal orders, which is the argument the administration is making yesterday, Defense Secretary of Access of the video contained vague rhetoric which undermines trust, creates hesitation in the chain of command in e Road's cohesion.

Well, that's his argument, But how that translates into a prosecutable case that can withstand First Amendment scrutiny?

Never mind the unique nature of the protections that legislators enjoy under the speech or debate Clause.

Protections against prosecution from the executive branch for what they do as members of Congress.

Well, I don't know, but that's the latest.

These members have been asked to sit for interviews with the FBI.

I don't know that they're going to do it.

I'm going to ask you, do they have to?

Does anybody have to do?

Isn't that what the First Amendment says?

You don't have to?

No, you don't have to.

If I was them, I would pass.

Sure as anyone who is advised by a lawyer, you know.

Look, you know they sometimes you talk to law enforcement to be helpful.

You do it because you want to get a sense of what it is they're looking for.

But in this case, it seems pretty clear to me that the intent of an FBI invest someone who is leading an FBI investigation is to conduct an interview to establish evidence of intent.

Well, why would you do that if you're ultimately going to be subject to fear, you're going to be subject to criminal prosecution.

You're basically providing government with evidence against you.

Okay, Well we'll see what happens with that.

ABC.

Stephen Portnoy, thanks so much for the information.

Have a great Thanksgiving we'll talk to you on the flip side.

You bet on the flip side.

Didn't I sound cool?

This week, we're.

Going out and about two, as you know.

One of my favorite places in the A wide world, because the holidays have arrived at the Disneyland Resort.

So we want to say good morning now to Disney Ambassador Jada, who is here to tell us all about the magic of the holidays at the Disneyland Resort.

So let's get started by walking in down Main Street in Disneyland Park.

What is so special and magical when people walk down?

What a scene.

I love the way you set it up.

It's perfect.

Like you said, the holidays are here at Disneyland Resort right now.

So as you enter into the gates of Disneyland Park, you will be immersed.

Almost feels like you're walking into a snow globe.

Such great explanations, it's perfect.

You have decorations all over.

You see the Sleeping Beauty Castle just at the end of Main Street, it's decked from head to toe with eighty thousand different lights, and you've got snow on the castle, decorations all across and right now it's even more special because we are still celebrating the seventieth anniversary of the park, so we have some elements of our celebration all throughout the park as well.

But little double Dip, yes exactly, you know, And I love that the Christmas overlay that you call it, it touches like almost every piece of the park.

So when you go into New Orleans Square, I love the decorations that are up, the big balls, the ornaments and stuff.

Like exactly on Royal Street, you can like look up and you have decorations everywhere.

And then you're not too far from Haunted Mansion, which of course has the holiday overlay.

It is currently Haunted Mansion Holiday, so you can go see Jack Skellington and all his friends.

They've decked the halls.

And then just on the other side of the park you have It's a Small World, which of course has the magical lights all across the facade.

So it's very special for it's a Small World holiday right now, and every night you can see those light up as well.

One of the coolest things to do, I think this is my little insider tip because it's a small world is so beautiful at the holidays, is to go and take the train around the park.

Oh yeah, and when you go by there, then you can kind of get an over an overhead look as you stroll by.

No, you're not strolling, but if you chug on by, right, yeah, okay, so, and then even the characters are decked out in their holiday attire.

That's right, So we have brand new holiday attire.

Mickey and Minni are decked from head to toe.

And what's special about their holiday where this year is again because they're celebrating with seventy you can kind of see some inspirations from their seventieth outfits as well.

So you want to definitely check them out on Main Street, USA, and if you have the Disneyland app, you can find out when you can meet them.

Okay, perfect, And then let's go across the street over to Disney California Adventure Park because along with the beautiful decorations and Carslane is really fun at the holidays.

With that, there's food and there's a lot of it and it's the holiday themed food for the Festival of the Holidays is spectacular.

Oh, it is the best, I think.

I'm I'm partial or impartial.

I guess to Disney California Adventure Park because I started my Disney career there in Carsland actually during the holidays, so of course I love it.

But did you work on a ride?

I did.

I worked at well, Luigi's Joy to the World of Holidays, So Luigi's rolickin roadsters.

You're around the Luigi's Joy to the World, okay, And yeah, I spent a lot of time there.

But during the holidays, all across the park, we are also celebrating the Festival of Holidays, which is an amazing celebration that takes us on a journey to celebrate different cultures and different holiday traditions.

So there's food, there's entertainment all across the park.

Oh my gosh, the food is just amazing.

Well, and the cool thing is you've got the Sip and Saver pass again this year, right, of course we do, Okay, so if you're not familiar with it, you buy a Sip and Savor Pass and then you'd like it's eight between eight and ten dollars per plate, and they're kind of small bites, but they're great to go and you can kind of snack your way around the park and try tons of different food.

Exactly.

That sip and Saver pass is really the best thing, like you said, because then you can try six different dishes for like you know, a deal of that price.

So it's okay, what's your favorite thing about Disneyland Resort at the holidays?

Okay, the snow moment that happens every night.

That is so magical because I grew up very close to the park, so I wasn't immersed in the snow all the time.

So the fact that we get to go to Disneyland and see it's snow on Main Street is so so special.

It is like you're going, how they make that?

Yeah, it's disney magic.

Yeah it's true.

You're like, look up, You're like that looks like real snow.

Okay, and where do we find out?

Because you need to still make a reservation, So you go to the Disneyland app and you can do that all there.

So it's a fun way to start the day.

Time to get in your business.

Now with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini and Denise, we've been talking turkey a lot today, so let's keep that theme going.

Restaurant chefs are going to extremes to master the old Turkey dinner.

Yeah.

The thing is, it's not just about the classic Thanksgiving turkey anymore.

There are all these chefs from all these different places.

They come from various cultural backgrounds, and they're also trying to differentiate themselves in their restaurants.

So this year we're seeing.

Restaurateurs turkey dishes that speak to their roots, things like, you know, if they're Chinese or of Chinese heritage, Peking turkey, also jerk turkey if you're from the Islands, and tendoris icy from India.

Yeah, and Korean turkey too, you know, which is great.

Was really spicy Korean turkey and then all those amazing little dishes on the side.

But apparently adapting turkey to other countries cuisines is pushing chefs to new extremes.

According to the Wall Street Channel, they're doing things like deboning the bird, hopefully they do that, you know, before they cook it, giving it a deep tissue massage.

Again, hopefully they do that before they cook it.

And they're also doing some really yummy things like stuffing a whole pineapple inside.

That sounds really good.

Apparently it's a lot of trial and error, though some of the experimenting doesn't go very well.

So if you're thinking of doing this, maybe you want to try it today in a trial run and then do something exotic, you know again.

Yeah, experiment ahead of the game on the big day, because it could turn out bad.

Okay, but it does all sound good.

I mean, if anybody wants me to, you know, be the guinea pig or the taste tester, I'm always happy to do that.

Oh, that's so nice of you, Denise.

Okay, let's talk about holiday shopping.

Because it's about to get real.

Yeah, and you were talking earlier about that Deloitte report saying sixty four percent of shopperas planned to buy on sale necessities.

You got me thinking, So I went to look at some of the things that people said they bought in October during Amazon Prime Week.

Okay, here's the list.

Dog food that is not a holiday's missed, h dish soap and you know it's usually blue, right, it's not even green, dishwashing rinse, aid all right, And then some said things like Bobby Brown mescara that's not a gift either, or Kula sunscreened.

Oh yeah, you're amy, here's your Kula sunscreened for the holidays.

We actually need that here in southern California.

You do, and I'm envious, and so you know, you know, I admit maybe my comments driven a little bit by a little bit of jealousy, but even so, like sunscreen for a gift, I mean yeah.

And if you can't find.

Black Friday deals though that you think are good enough, just wait.

Because retailers they are holding back on the bargains.

They're dealing with higher costs because of tariffs, right, So higher input costs means they can't pass on those nice little prices that they'd like to to get us to shop.

But if the discounts aren't big enough, we're not going to shop.

That means we could see even way, way way bigger discounts, say me next month.

So oh, Black Friday, isn't the end all be all this year?

This year it could be just like the old days, you know, the way it was before online shopping, when you'd see those biggest day you know, those biggest deals on Christmas Eve.

All right, getting in your business as we do every day with Bloomberg's Denise Pelgrine.

We won't be doing it tomorrow.

You're taking the day off.

I'll miss you, have a wonderful things, all right, We'll talk to you next week.

See that all right?

Bill's going to tell you what it's for this time.

Aami's on it.

Dami's on this, Amy's on it.

Dami's on it.

What am I on?

On the stream?

There's so much content out there and you need to kind of sift through it.

I've got a couple of great recommendations that are coming up in the weeks to come.

But since I'm all about Wicked this week, you know, the new movies out, it's going to be interesting to see how much money it makes in its second week, especially because it's a long holiday weekend.

One hundred and fifty million dollars at the box office last year last weekend, pretty impressive.

And I love the Wicked movies.

I love the Wicked stage show.

It's amazing.

So I was like, how did that all come about?

And we were talking in the hallways about was Wicked first?

Or was the musical first?

Or was the book first?

And that kind of stuff, So I thought, I bet there's somebody who's you know, got this and has created something to tell us all about it, and by golly, they have.

It's called Wicked.

It's the Real Story documentary.

It's on Peacock and it starts with kind of the short story of L.

Frank Baum's life, what led up to him writing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

And he did it more than one hundred years ago, is in eighteen ninety nine, crazy right, Okay.

So then it moves forward and talks a little bit about making The Wizard of Oz, which was then released in nineteen thirty nine, so forty years later, and then how Gregory maguire came up with the story of Wicked, so paying homage to the Wizard of Oz, but then taking a new look at it.

And the book Wicked is actually kind of dark, but it's it's the Wicked Witch's story, and we find out that her name is Alphabet, which we don't know in The Wizard of Oz.

He I thought it was really interesting.

He talks about the first scene in the movie.

They're the first scene when Dorothy arrives in Oz, and you know, when the house comes crashing down on the Wicked Witch of the East and the Wicked Witch of the West says to Glinda, I should.

Have known you'd be behind this.

And he thought to himself, and he said, a light bulb went off.

He goes, oh, my gosh, they know each other.

And that's sort of sparked the whole thought process of the story of Glinda and Alphaba.

And it was just I love like you when you find spark moments, you know, what's the inspiration there.

And so then he makes a timeline of the Wizard of Oz movie, and he makes another timeline for the book Wicked, which he's now written, and then he tells the stories that go in the spaces between what was featured in The Wizard of Oz.

So it's more backstory stuff, which I love that kind of stuff.

Apparently Hollywood wanted to make a movie out of it right away, but they worked on it for like three or four years and they couldn't come up with a script for it.

And then Stephen Schwartz, the composer, read the book and he thought, oh, this should be a musical, and so he got an audience with Gregory McGuire and said, Gregory McGuire, you should make a musical out of this, and he's like, what, this is going to be a serious movie, and he shares the idea for the first song in the movie, No One Mourns the Wicked, which just happens to be my earworm.

And that's when Gregor MacGuire said, you're right, it should be a musical.

And then they made it into the.

Stage show and that's just like just a little bit about what the story is all about.

So it's so interesting to see it unfold and then the how it changes from the stage show and then it goes to the movie theaters and now you know, one hundred and twenty five years later, it's like the biggest blockbuster of the year.

Practically.

It's in the documentary.

They say, behind every story is another waiting to be told, and Wicked the real story tells it very well.

I'm on it.

I think you should be too.

It's Wicked the real Story.

The documentary about the making of the movie, and it's on Peacock.

Actually it's more about the inspiration behind the writing of the book and then the making of the movie.

Super interesting.

Okay, so I told you about the earworm thing that I've had for a week now, right, which is still an earworm.

I thought I would get rid of it.

It's still there.

But the good news is I love the song.

So I'm telling Elmer, who's the boardop.

After Kono's done, he takes over and works with Gary and Shannon, and I was like, oh, yeah, we were talking about my earworm today and how to get rid of it.

And Elmer's given me this weird look, like his face is all crunched up, like oh, like kind of like he's grossed out just a little bit.

And then I go, do you know what an earworm is?

He goes, oh, it's a song.

He thought it was like literally a worm that I was getting out of my ear and.

So he was like, oh grossed out.

He goes, wow, you were being really candid about your earworm.

I was like, dude, it's a song.

It's a song.

Anyway.

It is now five point fifty nine, and that means we are out of time for a wake up call.
