Here's what's ahead on wake up call.

Heavy rain has been falling overnight.

It rates up to an inch per hour in some areas.

Forecasters say the heaviest of the rains expected to taper off this morning, but scattered showers are possible throughout the day before the storm moves out and leaves us with a mostly sunny weekend.

A stubn fire in a commercial building in the Ramona Gardens area of Boyle Heights could threaten nearby buildings.

Ellie Fire says it has taken up a defensive posture outside the metal clad building on Alcazar and Murchison's, meaning it's too dangerous to go inside to put the flames out.

Fires started shortly after one this morning.

The Trump administration says it'll reopen ocean waters off the Pacific coast to oil drilling leases.

ABC's Willgan's going to weigh in.

That's coming up before the end of the hour.

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

A flash flood warning is in effect for parts of La County because of the rain.

The National Weather Services Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the warned area.

It includes the Palisades, Burned scar to Panga State Park, Santa Monica, the four or five through the Supulvita Pass, and parts of the San Fernando Valley.

The warning is in effect until six am.

A flash flood warning for Orange Counties up until five point thirty.

It includes Irvine, Mission Viejo, Laguna Beach, Rancho, Santa Margarita, Aliso Viejo and the Newport Coast.

A large tree has fallen into the street in Westlake, crushing a car.

A massive tree do you rooted.

Well?

On top of this was passing by.

The driver apparently noticed as the tree started falling, but it slowed down.

The tree did smash his roof and windshield, but he was able to get out of the vehicle.

Several lanes of traffic are closed near Olympic and Alvarado.

God, that's got to be scary sitting there and you're like, oh, look what's coming down?

Nowhere to go.

Ruterhroo dot com is who's bringing you the news this morning.

A former reality TV star turned Palisades fire rebuilding advocates his state, county, and city officials had been making excuses about response to the fire from the get go.

Spencer Pratt tells cafe's John Cobalt it all started with what he calls lame excuses about winds and why water dropping helicopters couldn't draw from reservoirs.

The cover up started instiling hurricane winds.

We had three deployed.

We were ready for this.

Oh, the water was never meant for fires.

Pratt's home and that of his mother, both in the Palisades, were destroyed in the fire.

In January, Governor.

Newsom's again criticized President Trump's announcement proposing the opening of California's coast to offshore oil drilling.

A directive from the Trump administration calls for potential leases of thirty four offshore sites, including six off California's coast, between twenty twenty six and thirty one.

Newsom calls the plan idiotic.

Increasingly, the polluted heart of the climate crisis appears to be Donald Trump as it relates to offshore all dwelling, overwhelmingly opposed by members of all political parties in the state of California.

Newsom says it's a reckless attempt to sell out our coastline to Trump's big oil donors, and he says the plan is dead in the water.

Let's check in with Will Coleschreiber and let's.

Talk about the inevitable mess that is going to be your morning community.

Already already there.

Unfortunately, we've got some bad crashes.

It's really wet out there.

I was hoping this might be gone by the morning commute, but no.

Ninety one westbound right there at the seventy one two vehicle crashed there.

In the middle lanes.

Cosmisom big delays all the way back from IFAI fifteen.

Unfortunately two ten westbound before baseline as you make your way through the San Gabriel Valley.

Yeah, we've got to crash there as well.

And I see some slowing.

It is, uh, it is.

Let's see, it's going to be slow all the way back from It looks like about Euclid Avenue on that westbound side of the two ten freeway.

Also the one on one southbound right before White Oak two left lanes blocked by a crash there as well.

CHP is on the scene.

Those are the big problems, but a lot of solo spinouts all over the place, So be really careful out there with Southern California's most accurate traffic reports.

I'm Will Cole Schreiber.

Thank you, Will Well.

It's going to keep you updated all morning long.

Help you get where you're going, because I have a feeling a little bit of an inkling that is going to be a tough one for you.

It's five oh seven on your wake up call this Friday morning.

Time to say good morning to Karen Travers with ABC at the White House.

Karen, this could be really interesting.

President Trump's going to welcome New York City Mayor elect Zoram Mom Donnie to the White House today.

Yes, he is.

It's a meeting that's scheduled to take place at three o'clock in the Oval Office.

Notably, right now, it's closed to reporters.

We'll see if that changes.

I think I will bet that it's going to change, and we'll have a photo opportunity of that and potentially Q and A during that meeting.

But this will be the first face to face meeting between the two and they've gone back and forth over policy issues, a little bit of personal war of words in recent months.

The White House yesterday wasn't really previewing what the meeting is all about, just saying it shows the president we'll meet with anyone from red states, blue states, blue cities.

She was asked Caroline leve at, the pres secretary, about the President's threat to cut federal funding to New York, which he has said he would do if mom Donnie was elected.

She wouldn't say if that was something he will follow through on, just saying we'll see how the meeting goes tomorrow, and she would let the president speak for himself.

Are there any rumblings, Karen, I mean, you've got your ear to a pulse or whatever, you know what, you know what I'm trying.

To say, what is of it?

Right now?

They're saying no reporters, But like you said, Trump loves to kind of show things off in the White House.

And are we expecting maybe a little bit of fireworks Zolenski style.

I don't know.

I mean, we'll see, you know, sometimes it happens that Zolensky thing was certainly a bit of an aberration when you look at other foreign leader visits.

Lundani said yesterday that he's looking forward to the meeting.

He told reporters he's not concerned about it.

He's used it as an opportunity to make his case.

He said yesterday, he has many disagreements with the President, but he intends to make it clear he will work with him.

Okay, and they both they do agree on one thing, and that's affordability.

And that's like mom.

Donnie's big thing was housing affordability, and Trump has talked about it, especially in the last week or so, so maybe there is some common grads.

I mean, I will say that was is big issue running for the mayor's race.

That was the big thing he talked about.

It's a thing that the White House would like to hear the President talk about more with something he campaigned on last year.

But it's something he's facing a lot of criticism right now for not talking about enough, and something he's even getting criticism for not doing enough on since taking office.

Okay, well, we'll be following it.

And are you going to be there this afternoon.

I will not be in the room if it happens, but here at the White House of course.

All right.

Karen Travers, ABC, thanks so much.

We appreciate it.

Have a great weekend, You too thinks, all right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room.

The clock is ticking for the Justice Department to release all the Epstein files.

ABC's Mary Bruce says it's a waiting game now.

Some Republicans are now warning any delay goods bark backlash from voters.

Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina saying if the administration puts a blanket hold on the files, quote, they're going to have a lot of people angry.

President Trump signed the bill Wednesday night to release the files, has thirty days to do that.

Market analysts have been crunching the numbers from the latest jobs report, which shows US employers added one hundred nineteen thousand jobs in September.

University of Mission Economics professor Justin Wolfers says the report also shows an increase in the unemployment figure, meaning that there's concern for the labor market.

The labor market has been slowing for quite some time.

In some level, that makes sense.

It might have been moving a bit too fast in the past, and the question is where it comes down and steadies out at he.

A city in New Mexico's tying paychecks to home.

Santa Fe, New Mexico, has raised its minimum wage based on the cost of housing.

Normally, a bump in minimum wage is based only on the consumer price index, but Santa Fe is apparently the first city in the US to also include housing.

Santa Fes had an automatic increase in minimum wage since two thousand and three, but that's worked out to fifty to seventy cents a year.

Rent in the city has seen double digit increases since the pandemic.

There was talk of calling it a living wage now, but the mayor elect said it's still not high enough to call it that.

New Mexico also became the first state in the US to provide universal childcare beginning this month.

Let's say good morning now to the host of Home on KFI.

It's our house, whisper Dean Sharp Morning.

Dean morning, Amy.

So Thanksgiving is less than a week away, but people are already turning their attention to Christmas and that's where you come in.

Uh, yes, yeah, you know what.

That's pretty normal these days, isn't it.

It used to be after Thanksgiving is always when you start decorating.

But I you know, I got to say, I'm okay start early.

Who says you have to wait until after Thanksgiving to start your ho holiday decor because Thanksgiving is kind of you know, just to roll it into the Christmas holiday season.

So we're all about it.

I do have Thanksgiving decorations up, and I still have some Halloween out but so I'm waiting until after the holidays.

But I'm planning for it.

So let's talk about, you know, like what's hip, what's hot this year?

What's going to be like all the rage?

Well, you know me, I'm not one to follow the fads when it comes to this kind of stuff.

But every year, you know, because people have budgets, that's the weird thing.

Wow, what's that?

But every year there is, of course in the design world, a new thing that's kind of leading the trend.

And if you're asking what's the decor trend for Christmas this year, it looks like it's a what I would call kind of adulting Christmas a little bit.

It's a little bit more sophisticated.

The Ralph Lauren aesthetic is what they call it.

It's not being led by Ralph Lauren the company, but it's very classic vintage dark green blues, plaids, not bright plaids, deep muted plaids, jewel tone accents, deep satins and velvets as beautiful and I love this.

I've always been a fan of this monochromatic gift wrapping.

In other words, that you're just picking a single color paper or an understated pattern, but very very understated, and then a corresponding color ribbon and bows.

What a classy gift, right, What a classy present that is?

Okay, so one year, I'm going to tell you what my mom did, and it actually turned out absolutely beautiful.

But sheep she used paper bags from the grocery store as the wrapping paper, and so they were all that just kind of brown and then with the festive bows on it, and it turned out beautiful.

Like you said, like understated but still very classic.

And that leads us to one of the important things that if somebody's looking for real advice on decre and decorating and they just feel kind of unmoored, like what do I do?

Where do you start?

Start with a theme, start with a color palette, and like your mom did, in other words, say hey, it's all going to be wrapping paper made out of a brown paper bag material this year, and we'll go with that, and then we'll make small deviations from that, but that's the base, and that's the kind of thing that ends up really producing a powerful impact that people just absolutely go bonkers over.

And you don't have to do it exclusively.

But in the decore community, we have what we call the eighty twenty rule, which is that eighty percent of the decore follows a particular color pattern, and then you let twenty percent kind of deviate off from it, but complement it along the way.

It's always, always, never fails to be stunning and wonderful and very very special, but pick a direction, go with that theme, and then compliment it along the way.

Christmas doesn't always have to be just a hodgepodge of everything, everything that you've collected through your entire life, although.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

There's nothing wrong with that either, absolutely nothing wrong with that.

And the amazing thing that a lot of people don't realize I think is that you can do both at the same time.

Those bobbles, those trinkets, those very special ornaments that have meant everything to you.

I mean, let's face it, not every ornament on the tree is probably an absolute keepsake ornament that has a special event behind it.

Some people have that, but there's a few.

There's always a few.

And so if you pick your theme, go with that and then allow all of those special ornaments to be the accent to that man, the color theme and the style theme becomes a backdrop kind of a scaffolding that displays all of those special things.

It doesn't eat it up, it doesn't compete with it.

It actually can elevate.

Yes, okay, so let's talk about this because we've talked about it.

You first told me about it, I think two years ago, and then last year I got one.

And if you're looking, if you're going to have a real tree this year, oh yeah, this is a I'm not going to call it a must have, but it's pretty darn cool it really.

I mean, here's the thing.

I'll call it a must have if you have a real tree every year, for certain, for certain, it costs about ninety eight dollars on Amazon right now, and it is the Ho Ho ho h two oh Automatic Christmas Tree watering Reservoir.

I introduced it last year.

You got really excited about it, you went out and got one.

I'm going to have one with me at the our live audience show, which is just this Sunday, our Holiday Live Audience Show, which I believe Amy King may be making an appearance.

I am.

I'm going to come join you for a while so we.

Can talk about it then and you can tell everybody how thrilled you are.

But basically this, the brilliance of this is that it is a very large watering reservoir, automatic pump inside a sensor inside the tree bowl that knows when the water gets low, so it refills the tree bowl.

You don't have to be reaching all the way into the bowl knocking ornaments off, because the reservoir sits, you know, very easily accessible out on the edge of the tree.

But instead of being an ugly component there, it's disguised as a present and so it just blends right in with everything else that's sitting under the tree.

It is brilliant, one of the most brilliant pieces of decortech that's coming along a long time.

I agree, And there's all kinds of other things that are helpful for you.

We've got that you're going to talk about on your show this weekend, so let's plug that now.

It's your live show right here at the iHeartRadio Studios.

That's right.

It's just going to be a special show, same time for everybody who's listening, from nine to noon.

We do it every year, but we're going to have a live audience in front of us up in the helpful Honda Lounge on the fifth floor.

It's going to be fantastic.

Just the energy is great.

You're going to be coming by to join me, which is going to be fantastic.

We're going to have the people from Aldick Home there decorating one of their unbelievable world changing Christmas trees, and then by the end of the show, we're giving that tree away to one of the participants.

Super fun.

So that's Sunday nine to noon, and you're also on Tomorrow from six to eight am.

You can follow Dean at Home with Dean and I would imagine over the holidays on Instagram you might see some fun little decorating things.

Pop up on your ig.

You just might just might thank you, Dean Sharp.

Thanks Amy.

All right, Yet.

Officials in La County have confirmed the presence of dengay and a mosquito found in the region.

The bug was collected from surveillance traps in Sun Valley in the San Fernando Valley.

It's the first confirmed detection of dengay in both the county and the state.

La County has set a rather noble goal of ending homelessness among military veterans by twenty twenty eight.

The county estimates there are just over three thousand vets without a home here, a number of the Board of supervisors has now said should be zero in a few years.

I haven't heard anybody laugh me off the stage yet, so we're going to get it done.

The supervisors approved a plan that includes breaking barriers to shelters, like allowing vets to self refer and avoid the current reams of paperwork.

More housing and jobs are also part of the plan.

The judge expressed concerns about the testimony of an ICE official who admitted he had no specific knowledge about Garcia's case.

Garcia's attorneys also criticized the government for pushing to have him deported to Liberia when he had already agreed to be sent to Costa Rica.

White House pres Secretary of Caroline Levitt told reporters this September jobs report, which shows the US economy added more than one hundred nineteen thousand jobs, more than double expected, is proof the economy is strong.

She said, Trump's entire economic agenda is about putting more money in the pockets of Americans.

Eh, good time to switch over and talk about money.

Time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pallegrini.

Good morning, Denise.

Okay, before we get started, I want to ask you about this wild ride.

The stock market was crazy yesterday.

It was like up seven hundred than down four hundred.

That's a huge swing.

What happened.

Yeah, that's because everybody who wanted to be paranoid about anything could find something to worry about in that job's report, which, as we were talking about yesterday, had that rise in unemployment, also some growth in jobs more than expected.

But at the same time, when you looked at the industries that that growth came in, it was weak.

And then we had this whole parade of Fed officials.

We do have a FED governor, John Williams, Fed President rather of the New York Fed this morning saying he sees room for the Fed to cut interest.

Rates next month.

So that's giving us a little bit of positivity this morning in stock futures.

Okay, I'm a question or hire at going into the Friday.

Oh good, okay, So I have a question for you about the unemployment rate ticking higher.

Isn't that in part because more people are getting back into the workforce.

Well, it can be.

And you know these are monthly surveys, right, and it all depends on who answers.

It's not just about you know, are they in the work for us, It's about the actually fill out the survey.

So when you look at these things, it's really important to not just look at, you know, a tickup of a tenth of a percent in the jobless market.

You should look at how it compared to previous months, whether you get the feeling that this is accurate or not.

And we've just had tons and tons of headlines about companies cutting jobs in October, so we know that even if it just looks a little bit bad in September.

That October could be worse.

Okay, we haven't gotten that data yet.

Okay, And you said worse, and crypto got worse yesterday.

Ouch.

Bitcoin this morning about eighty three thousand and seven hundred.

That's about a twenty five percent drop from the peak.

So if you bought at the peak, or if you were planning on spending that money that you had in crypto assets bitcoin at that peak, which was just last month, you are really hurting now.

I mean, there are a lot of people who are planning on using bitcoin proceeds to pay their student loans or fund their holiday.

Now they're looking at some tough times.

Down again, this morning keeps going down.

But we do have this one guy, Tom Lee of funstrat.

He says bitcoin hold on to it will be as high as two hundred thousand by the end of January.

That would be quite a holiday present.

Okay the believers, I should say, yeah.

Okay, So Americans are probably are maybe laying off the wine this holiday.

What are they planning to do instead?

Yeah?

If Grandma seems to be laughing a lot more than usual at the dinner table this Thanksgiving, this could be why more Americans are opting for cannabis infused foods and drinks this Thanksgiving, things like amy infused Seltzer's stuffing and turkey as all the regulation around cannabis eases you.

Now, it's kind of interesting because there's this whole class of people who call themselves California sober, right, they abstained from booze, but they like cannabis, psychedelic mushians, things like that, and dispensary say Green Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, is one of the biggest sales days of the year for them, so that Thanksgiving green Wednesday.

I have not heard of that.

Yep, all right, it's not blackout Wednesday anymore.

It's like before you black out, you got to go run and get your cannabis for Thanksgiving first.

So here comes the.

Cousin walk as they call it, right when all the young people disappear from the table and.

Go out for a little walk the dog before they come back laughing and really hungry.

Yeah, better make a lot of food this year because it's gonna have a lot of people with Munchiese all right, with the tile.

And in your business every morning like we do with Bloomberg's Dennis Pella Greene, have a good weekend, Green Wednesday, all right.

Will popular, You're gonna be popular?

Is Wicked for Good going to be popular?

I mean, if the one hundred and fifty million dollars box office totals from weekend one don't indicate that it's popular, I don't know what might.

Yeah, I think this thing is going to be the biggest movie opening of the year, and with good reason, right like this.

For a year we've been waiting for the follow up to Part one and at long last, and many many press appearances and red carpets and movie premieres all over the world and People's Sexiest Man Alive titles, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

We can finally get into the theater this weekend and see Wicked for good so popular, yes, I think?

So Okay, have you had a chance to see it?

You know what I actually have not?

Which are going?

Yes, Yes, I'm going today.

And sometimes with movies like this, like with Barbie or you know, the ones that like people remember as like a cultural phenomenon when we look back on the year that it came out, like sometimes I prefer to see it with a big, big crowd of people as opposed to going to like an early screening or whatever.

So I'm very excited to see this.

Okay, Well, I saw it yesterday, So I'm going to share just a couple of thoughts.

One, you know, it's the movie is so beautiful, like the first one.

It's just beautiful.

And the huge fields of tulips than the Emerald City, it's all just beautiful.

There were moments in that movie that I thought were spectacular.

Overall, I don't think the whole thing was.

I would still see it, and I'm probably gonna go see it again.

But there was.

Something, there was something that was just a little bit off, And then I would love to hear once people start seeing it if they think the same thing.

I don't know if it was the performances or what it was, but it was still great.

And like I said, there were some moments like were edge of the seat for me, and some of it was spectacular, but not the whole thing was spectacular.

I think I actually liked the first one better.

So I mean, obviously, I've seen the musical itself on stage like a lot of times being a New Yorker.

You know, fabulous, But the second act is clunkier than the first act, you know, and the first act has all of the best songs for the show, and it moves at a quicker pace and all of those things.

And so I do think, like inarently, just based on the source material, it was going to be harder to pull the second movie off.

But you know that said, if anyone's going to be able to pull it off, I do think Cynthia and Arianna and the rest of the gang are well suited to the task.

So I will be interested.

You know, I'm not surprised to hear that's how you felt.

But I'm also excited to see, you know, for myself.

Yeah, and the same thing you mentioned the songs there, there wasn't as you know, there wasn't a popular and there wasn't a defying gravity.

There was the one about the friends, which I really liked, and there was recurring music from the first one that just like in a Broadway musical, kind of replays throughout.

So that was familiar, but it didn't have that powerful punch song I don't think.

Yeah, yeah, but and that's you know, that's how it's been since the musical came out, you know, two decades plus ago.

So yeah, and that being said, it's still it's a phenomenon.

And I'm I'm guessing that you will not be alone when you see the movie this weekend.

I don't think I will be either.

I might be the only one not in costume, but you know, I can maybe I can scrouch together something just in time.

I'll bring up room or something.

Yep, I'm wearing my pink and my green today.

Just it's not full on costume, but I am I'm themed today.

Okay, So if you don't want to fight the crowds and want to stay home and curl up on the couch.

There is something that is a real beast.

Yes, the beast in me on Netflix.

So this is an eight episode mini series.

It stars Claire Danes as a writer who she is still grieving the death of her son, so she hasn't been writing, she hasn't been going out much or seeing anybody, and she sort of like, you know, is working on a book, but she's not inspired by it.

And then this like mysterious millionaire moves in down the street with his new wife because his first wife went missing.

And so now Claire Danes is thinking, Okay, maybe this should be the subject of my next book.

This guy who did he kill his ex wife?

And why is he so rich and so spooky?

And they sort of like, you know, their contentious neighbors at the beginning, and then they sort of start getting closer to one another, but you don't know is he playing her or is she playing him.

It's really really fun to watch and really thrilling, and you know almost immediately the action starts right from the jump of episode one and all, yeah, eight episodes they're streaming now, and you know it's Claire Dames and Matthew Reeves, both of whom are incredible actors, so highly recommend The Beast in Me on Netflix.

All right, ABC's Willgans, thanks so much for the recommendations.

Enjoy Wicked.

All right, I'll talk to you next week.

Take care, Take.

Care, I say.

Judge is thrown out a lawsuit by former La County Sheriff Alex vien Aweva, alleging the county defamed him, violated his rights, and unfairly flagged his personnel file with a do not re hire tag.
