WHILE
WHILE LEADERS IN WASHINGTON FIGHT SAN DIEGO AND CONTINUE TO SUFFER. GOOD EVENING AND THANKS
FOR JOINING US TONIGHT. I'M
STEVE PRICE. AND I'M ALICIA
SUMMERS. TODAY WAS THE FINAL
UNEMPLOYED CHECK FOR MILLIONS
OF AMERICANS IMPACTED BY THE
PANDEMIC. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
SO FAR REFUSED TO SIGN A RELIEF
BILL THAT WAS PASSED BY
CONGRESS MEANING THAT FUNDING
FOR SOME UNEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS
RAN OUT LEAVING MANY SAN
DIGGINS WITHOUT A MUCH NEEDED
LIFELINE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE HOLIDAY SEASON. THANKS.
BRANDON LEWIS EXPLAINS WHAT
HAPPENS NEXT. STEVE AND ALISHA
,THIS RELIEF BILL IS
ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE
WHO ARE UNEMPLOYED BUT ALSO FOR
PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL WORKING
BECAUSE IT HAS PROVISIONS THAT
ARE REQUIRED TO HELP KEEP THE
GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONING. ALL MY
LIFE I'VE BEEN A SELF-EMPLOYED
ENTREPRENEURIAL PERSON REALLY.
WALTERS IS AN OUT OF WORK EVENT
PLANNER AND ARTIST. SHE HAS
RELIED ON THE PANDEMIC
UNEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
BUT THE CHECKS ARE NOW STOPPED
AS CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT
REMAIN STALLED. THIS GAVE US A
LIFELINE IN THE HOPES THAT WE
COULD GO BACK TO WHAT WE KNEW
BEFORE. NOW I THINK THE
LIFELINE IS ENDING. NORMALLY
WALTERS WOULD BE INELIGIBLE FOR
UNEMPLOYMENT SINCE SHE'S AN
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. BACK IN
MARCH, CONGRESS WAIVE THAT
PROVISION AND ADDED EVEN MORE
MONEY TO ALL UNEMPLOYMENT
CHECKS. GIVEN THE GRAVITY OF
THE PANDEMIC ECONOMIC IMPACT,
ALL OF THAT AND MORE EXPIRED ON
SATURDAY AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP
REFUSED TO SIGN A NEW RELIEF
BILL. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER
IMPACTS BEING FELT AROUND THE
NATION AND WE'RE REAL PEOPLE
WITH REAL FAMILY JUST THAT
REALLY DESPERATELY NEED HELP.
THE BIGGEST STICKING POINT
ISN'T EVEN UNEMPLOYMENT HELP
IT'S STIMULUS CHECKS CONGRESS
APPROVED SENDING ALL ELIGIBLE
AMERICANS UP TO SIX HUNDRED
DOLLARS AT THE LAST MINUTE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP DEMANDED THEY
INCREASE IT TO UP TO TWO
THOUSAND DOLLARS WHICH HOUSE
REPUBLICANS BLOCKED. THIS NEEDS
TO GET DONE. IT'S NOT JUST THE
600 OR TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS
STIMULUS CHECK. IT'S THE WEEKLY
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS THAT ARE
KEEPING US ALIVE. THE RELIEF
BILL BATTLE IS ABOUT MORE THAN
JUST DOLLARS. IT INCLUDES
PROTECTIONS TO STOP EVICTIONS
AND KEEP THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
RUNNING FOR ALL AMERICANS.
TECHNICALLY THE GOVERNMENT RUNS
OUT OF MONEY. EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING. AND THAT MEANS A
POTENTIAL SHUTDOWN THAT WOULD
RIPPLE TO EVERYONE. IT'S A
LITTLE UNNERVING. I HAVE THREE
KIDS THAT REALLY LIKE TO SAY,
YOU KNOW, EAT BREAKFAST, LUNCH
AND DINNER. THEY REALLY ENJOY
POWER AND RUNNING WATER. SO
IT'S NOT JUST ME THAT I HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT. I HAVE KIDS TO
WORRY ABOUT AS WELL.
NEGOTIATIONS ON A NEW RELIEF
BILL WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW.
COMING UP FOR YOU NEW AT SIX
THIRTY. WE'LL BREAK DOWN A
LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT'S
EXACTLY IN THIS BILL. BUT
WITHOUT ANY PASSAGE TOMORROW
THAT MEANS THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT COULD SHUT DOWN
TUESDAY MORNING. STEVE.
BRANDON, THANK YOU. NOW WITHOUT
AN AGREEMENT, A FEDERAL
EVICTION MORATORIUM WILL EXPIRE
THURSDAY. HOWEVER, HERE IN
CALIFORNIA RENTERS ARE
PROTECTED THROUGH THE END OF
JANUARY AND WITHIN THE LAST
HOUR PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETED
QUOTE GOOD NEWS ON RELIEF BILL
INFORMATION TO FOLLOW. WE ARE
STILL AWAITING THOSE DETAILS
TODAY. SAN DIEGO COUNTY
OFFICIALS REPORTING THREE
THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED THIRTY TWO
NEW CORONA VIRUS CASES. SEVEN
PERCENT OF NEARLY 12000 CASES
CAME BACK. POSITIVE
HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE CLIMBING
50 MORE PEOPLE WERE
HOSPITALIZED WITH COVERED
PUSHING THE TOTAL NUMBER TO
1000 486. OUR ADJUSTED CASE
RATE NOW STANDS THIRTY SIX
POINT THREE. NO NEW DEATHS WERE
REPORTED TODAY SO THAT TOTAL
REMAINS AT 1400 TO SAN DIEGO
ARE ONCE AGAIN LINING UP IN BIG
NUMBERS TO GET A COVETED TEST
AHEAD OF THE NEW YEAR HOLIDAY.
THIS WAS THE SCENE AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO THIS
AFTERNOON, SAW ABOUT 200 PEOPLE
WAITING FOR A TEST WALK UP
LOCATION. LAST WEEK THE COUNTY
AVERAGED TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND
TESTS PER DAY. THAT IS THE
HIGHEST FOR ANY WEEK. SO FAR.
NOW IF YOU OR SOMEONE IN YOUR
FAMILY IS IN NEED OF A KOBE
TEST, WE HAVE AN EASY WAY FOR
YOU TO FIND A TESTING SITE.
JUST TEXT THE WORD TESTING TO 8
5 8 5 7 1 8 8 8 8. THAT'S THE
WORD TESTING. WE WILL THEN SEND
YOU A LINK WITH A LIST OF
LOCATIONS AROUND THE COUNTY AND
WITH THOSE NEW CASE NUMBERS
STAYING HIGH. GOVERNOR GAVIN
NEWSOM IS EXPECTED TO EXTEND
THE STAY AT HOME ORDER FOR ALL
OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NEWS AS
LA MONICA PETERS SPOKE WITH
SOME SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO
ARE BRACING FOR MORE OF THE
SAME STRUGGLE. IT SEEMS THAT
THE START OF THE NEW YEAR WILL
BE JUST AS DIFFICULT
FINANCIALLY AS IT HAS BEEN IN
2020 FOR A INCLUDING
RESTAURANTS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES
ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE STATE'S
REGIONAL STAY AT HOME ORDER HAS
BEEN EXTENDED. CURRENTLY FIFTY
FIVE POINT FOUR PERCENT OF ALL
OF OUR PATIENTS ARE ICY. USE
NOW HAVE TESTED POSITIVE FOR
CORONA VIRUS. THE REGIONAL STAY
AT HOME ORDER COULD HAVE ENDED
ON DECEMBER 28 BUT IT'LL REMAIN
IN PLACE WITH NO DEFINITE END
DATE IN SIGHT. ACCORDING TO
CALIFORNIA'S COVE AT 19 WEB
SITE, A SUPPLEMENT TO THE ORDER
WAS ISSUED ON DECEMBER 21ST
EXTENDING THE ORDER UNTIL ALL
REGIONS HAVE AN ICU CAPACITY OF
LESS THAN 15 PERCENT. THIS
VIRUS LOVES SOCIAL EVENTS. THIS
VIRUS THRIVES IN THAT
ATMOSPHERE. IT THRIVES INDOORS,
THRIVES WHEN THERE'S A LACK OF
ELATION WITH THE NUMBER OF
CORONA VIRUS CASES EXPECTED TO
INCREASE AFTER THE HOLIDAY
SEASON, THE EXTENDED STAY AT
HOME ORDER WILL UNDOUBTEDLY
CONTINUE TO PUT FINANCIAL
PRESSURE ON BUSINESSES AND
THEIR EMPLOYEES LIKE THOSE AT
CAMP FIRE AND JUNE ASIA LEAD
RESTAURANTS IN CARLSBAD. WE
WERE HOPING FOR THOSE THREE
WEEKS. AND YES, LIKE YOU SAID,
IT'S UNKNOWN RIGHT NOW. I THINK
COLLECTIVELY IN OUR HEADS IT'S
HARD TO IMAGINE WE'RE GONNA BE
BACK OPEN IN JANUARY. SO THE
HOPE IS EARLY FEBRUARY. RESNICK
SAYS THEY'LL CONTINUE SERVING
TAKEOUT AT BOTH RESTAURANTS AND
RAISING AS MUCH MONEY AS THEY
CAN TO SUPPORT THE 70 PLUS
EMPLOYEES THEY STILL HAVE. WE
ARE TOLD THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE
OPEN RIGHT NOW. THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE GONNA BE DOING. SO THEN
FOR US IT'S DEPRESSION IS JUST
WHAT CAN WE DO? HOW CAN WE STAY
CREATIVE? HOW CAN WE STAY
OPTIMISTIC AND KEEP OUR TEAM
ENGAGED AND A SENSE OF
COMMUNITY ALIVE? RESNICK TOLD
ME THAT HE HAS MANAGED TO KEEP
THE BILLS PAID BUT HE DID SELL
ABOUT 30000 DOLLARS WORTH OF
SPECIAL HOLIDAY TAKEOUT MEALS.
HE SAYS HE TAKES A PORTION OF
THAT MONEY AND ALL THE TIPS AND
SPLITS IT WITH HIS EMPLOYEES
JUST TO HELP THEM SURVIVE UNTIL
THEY CAN REOPEN. LA MONICA
PETERS 8 TONIGHT WAL-MART HAS
TEMPORARY TEMPORARILY CLOSED
ITS CHULA VISTA SUPERSTORE
CENTER LOCATION LOCATED ON H
STREET FOR DEEP CLEANING. THIS
STORE WAS SHUT DOWN AT 2:00
THIS AFTERNOON AS PART OF A NEW
COMPANY PROGRAM TO BRING IN
CREWS TO CLEAN AND SANITIZE THE
ENTIRE BUILDING. IT DOESN'T
APPEAR TO BE IN RESPONSE TO ANY
ACTIVE OUTBREAKS AT THIS STORE.
THE H STREET LOCATION WILL BE
CLOSED ALL DAY TOMORROW AND
REOPEN TUESDAY AT 7 A.M.. SAN
DIEGO POLICE NEED YOUR HELP

CALLED 9 1 1. THIS YEAR WE
ANTICIPATE DECEMBER 2013
DECEMBER 27 BEING OUR BUSIEST
TRAVEL DAYS. WE ANTICIPATE AS
MANY AS 20000 PEOPLE PROBABLY
THROUGH THE AIRPORT ON BOTH OF
THOSE DAYS AND AS EXPECTED
TODAY WAS A LITTLE BUSIER AT
SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
AS TRAVELERS RETURN FROM THE
LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND. HOWEVER,
TRAFFIC STILL DOWN CONSIDERABLY
COMPARED WITH A TYPICAL YEAR.
THE AIRPORT SAID THAT BEFORE
CHRISTMAS PASSENGER VOLUME WAS
DOWN 73 PERCENT FROM TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN. SMOOTH
SAILING OUT THERE FOR SAN DIEGO
AND MAKING THAT RETURN TRIP
HOME. BUT A BIG CHANGE IS IN
THE AIR. METEOROLOGIST JOHN
STYLES, YOU WERE THE FIRST LOOK
AT YOUR MICROCLIMATE FORECAST
AND SEAN, THIS IS A STORM
THAT'S GOING TO PACK A PUNCH.
JOHN, IT IS STEVE IN EVERYTHING
HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO MUCH MORE
DANGEROUS LEVEL. WE'VE GOT THIS
HIGH SURF ADVISORY ALONG THE
COASTLINE AND WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT NOW 10 FOOT WAVES ROLLING
IN AND A BIG HIGH TIDE IN THE
MORNING. SO WE'RE HEADING DOWN
TO THE COASTLINE TOMORROW
MORNING TO CHECK OUT THE SURF,
STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKY AREAS
YOU COULD FIND YOURSELF GETTING
WASHED OFF THEM. AND WE WENT
FROM A WINTER STORM WATCH TO A
WINTER STORM WARNING THAT WILL
TAKE PLACE OVERNIGHT INTO THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS AND SNOW
LEVELS BASICALLY WHERE WE WE'RE
TALKING YESTERDAY AT ABOUT
FORTY FIVE HUNDRED FEET. BUT
THE AMOUNT OF SNOW HAS GONE UP
A LOT. WE'RE TALKING SIX TO 12
INCHES IN OUR LOCAL MOUNTAINS
AT ABOUT THE 50 500 FOOT LEVEL.
SO A LOT OF COLD AIR AND PLENTY
OF ENERGY. LOOK AT THIS STORM
AS IT WRAPS UP AND MAKES ITS
WAY TOWARD SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE GAP
HERE AND YOU'RE GOING TO GO.
COME ON, JOHN. WHAT STORM? IT'S
COMING. TRUST ME, 58 HEAVY RAIN
AS MUCH AS THREE QUARTERS OF AN
INCH WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS AND
THEN WE START TO DRY OUT AND
WARM UP. TUESDAY WEDNESDAY IN
THE INLAND MICROCLIMATE AS MUCH
AS THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH
AND HEAVY RAIN FROM ABOUT 3:00
IN THE MORNING TILL ABOUT 9:00
A.M. IN THE MORNING. I'LL HAVE
THE COMPLETE DETAILS COMING UP.
JOHN, THANKS. AND THAT INCOMING
STORM IS CERTAINLY GOOD
NEWS FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
SKI RESORTS. IT'S BEEN AN
EXTREMELY DRY START FOR THE
SEASON RIGHT NOW SNOW VALLEY
AND RUNNING SPRINGS ONLY HAS A
BASE OF 10 TO 20 INCHES. WITH
UP TO TWO FEET OF FRESH POWDER
IN THE FORECAST, THEY'RE
CROSSING THEIR FINGERS HOPING
FOR THE BEST. WE'RE ABLE TO
OPERATE DURING THE STAY AT HOME
MURDER PER THE STATE'S
GUIDELINES. AND WHILE OUR
CAPACITY IS REDUCED, THINGS ARE
A LITTLE DIFFERENT. YOU KNOW,
IT'S STILL A LOT OF FUN AND
THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF SNOW
ENJOY. AND TO REDUCE CAPACITY
ON THE MOUNTAIN THEY ENCOURAGE
SKIERS AND SNOWBOARDERS TO BUY
TICKETS IN ADVANCE ONLINE TO
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SPOT
BEFORE YOU GO. WELL, WE'RE
GETTING READY TO THROW OUT
THOSE CARDBOARD BOXES LEFTOVER
FROM ONLINE SHOPPING. HERE'S A
WAY YOU COULD PUT THEM TO GOOD
USE FOR A GOOD CAUSE. IT'S
CALLED GIFT BAG BOX AND IT LETS
YOU NOT ONLY REUSE THOSE BOXES
BUT YOU CAN ALSO DONATE SOME
ITEMS AROUND THE HOUSE TO
CHARITY. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS
PACK UP THOSE ITEMS THAT YOU
WANT TO DONATE AND PRINT A FREE
SHIPPING LABEL FROM GIFT BACK
BOX DOT COM THEN DROP IT OFF TO
BE SHIPPED ALL ENVIRONMENTALLY
FRIENDLY AND HELPS THOSE IN
NEED. ALL WHILE HELPING YOU
CLEAR OUT SOME OF THE POST
HOLIDAY CLUTTER. WHAT A GREAT
IDEA. AND HAPPENING NOW IN
SPRING VALLEY ANOTHER CHANCE TO
DRIVE THROUGH AND GET SOME OF
YOUR FAVORITE GOURMET GRUB.
