SO A BIG SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF
OUR VIEWERS WERE ON TV AND ON
THE GO ON THE TWELVE NEWS APPS,
FACEBOOK AND YOUTUBE.
HEY GUYS, IT'S JENN HERE.
SOME EXCITING NEWS TO TALK
ABOUT THIS AFTERNOON FOR
ARIZONA SPORTS FANS.
OF COURSE THE CARDINALS MIRACLE
WIN YESTERDAY WAS GREAT BUT
JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR WHAT
THE PHENIX SUNS HAVE DONE.
MULTIPLE REPORT MULTIPLE
REPORTS SAY THE SUNS HAVE
COMPLETED A BLOCKBUSTER TRADE

CHRIS PAUL.
THE THIRTY FIVE YEAR OLD TEN
TIME NBA ALL STAR WAS TRADED
FOR FOUR PLAYERS AND A TWENTY
TWENTY TWO FIRST ROUND PICK
LAST SEASON PAUL AVERAGED MORE
THAN SEVENTEEN POINTS WITH SIX
POINT SEVEN ASSISTS PER GAME.

EVERYONE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT
THE BIG CARDINALS WIN THE
UNBELIEVABLE CATCH BY DEANDRE

OF COURSE THE CARDS WERE DOWN
BY FOUR WITH JUST SECONDS LEFT
IN THE GAME.
TYLER MURRAY THROWS UP THE HAIL
MARY THERE IT IS AND SOMEHOW
HOPKINS WITH THREE DEFENDERS
ALL OVER HIM COMES UP WITH A
GAME WINNING CATCH.
THAT THRILLER HAS THE CARDINALS
AT SIX AND THREE ON THE SEASON.
IT'S A SHORT WEEK FOR THE
REDBIRDS.
THEY HEAD TO SEATTLE TO TAKE ON
THE SEAHAWKS THIS THURSDAY.
NOW AT NUMBER TWO ON OUR MOST
CLICKED LIST THE SUN DEVILS
FOOTBALL TEAM IS CANCELING
ANOTHER GAME YEAH.
JUST TWO DAYS AFTER THE TEAM
CALLED OFF ITS GAME AGAINST CAL
LSU, YOU ANNOUNCED HEAD COACH
HERM EDWARDS, SEVERAL STAFF
MEMBERS AND MORE THAN TEN

THE TEAM'S SEASON IS NOT
LOOKING SO PROMISING.

TWELVE NEWS.COM SLASH BULLHORN
OR ON THE TWELVE NEWS APP.
WE WILL CHECK BACK IN ON THE
RESULTS IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.
AND AT NUMBER THREE, GREAT
NEWS IN THE RACE FOR A CORONA
VIRUS VACCINE.
MAIDANA IS SAYING THEIR VACCINE
IS AROUND NINETY FOUR PERCENT
EFFECTIVE.
THESE RESULTS ARE FROM AN EARLY
ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S PHASE
THREE TRIAL.
NOW THIS COMES JUST ONE WEEK
AFTER PFIZER REVEALED THAT
THEIR VACCINE IS MORE THAN 90
PERCENT EFFECTIVE AT PREVENTING
AN INFECTION.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, THE LEADING
EXPERT ON THE VIRUS SAYS A
VACCINE COULD BRING THINGS BACK
TO NORMAL AS EARLY AS APRIL OF
NEXT YEAR.
THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF
THE TUNNEL.
HELP IS COMING AND THAT SHOULD
I BELIEVE MOTIVATE PEOPLE TO
JUST SAY WE'RE GOING TO DOUBLE
DOWN AND DO THIS UNIFORMALLY
HOWEVER, WE MAY HAVE TO WAIT ON
GATHERING WITH OTHERS AGAIN,
DR. FOUND.
>> SHE SAYS THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF FACTORS AT PLAY AND WE'LL
JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW
EVERYTHING GOES IN THE FUTURE.
WELL, U.S. REPRESENTATIVE
DEBBIE LESKO WILL QUARANTINE
FOR THE NEXT 14 DAYS AFTER
COMING INTO CONTACT WITH
SOMEONE WHO TESTED POSITIVE
WITH THE CORONA VIRUS, LESCO
SAYS.
SHE HAD CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE
PERSON LATE LAST WEEK AND AT
THE MOMENT IS NOT EXPERIENCING
ANY SYMPTOMS FOR NOW.
SHE'LL BE WORKING FROM HOME
UNTIL SHE'S CLEARED.
WELL, LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A
LOOK AT THE LATEST CORONAVIRUS
NUMBERS IN ARIZONA.
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
SERVICES REPORTING MORE THAN
FOURTEEN HUNDRED NEW CASES
TODAY ALONG WITH ZERO DEATHS.
NOW KEEP IN MIND MONDAY'S
NUMBERS ARE GENUINE GENERALLY
RATHER LOWER.
AND AS CORONAVIRUS CASES SORGE
IN THE STATE MORE AND MORE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE FACING
TOUGH DECISIONS AS THEY LOOK TO
PROTECT STAFF AND STUDENTS.
THE PARADISE VALLEY UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT SAYS STUDENTS
WILL BE MOVING BACK TO VIRTUAL
LEARNING STARTING ON NOVEMBER
TWENTY THIRD.
NOW SCHOOL LEADERS POINTING TO
THE DISTRICT'S INCREASE PERCENT
POSITIVITY.
MARICOPA PUBLIC HEALTH
GUIDELINES SAY THE SURGE PUT
PARADISE VALLEY IN THE RED
LIGHT CATEGORY A SIGN TO STOP
IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION.
>> WE'D OBVIOUSLY REALLY LIKE
TO BE ABLE TO BE BACK FOR THE
SECOND SEMESTER AND BE ABLE TO
BE BACK IN PERSON AT THAT TIME.
BUT YOU KNOW, WE'LL CONTINUE TO
WATCH THOSE METRICS AND
HOPEFULLY WE SEE THOSE CASES GO
DOWN AND WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT.
>> DR. SHANNARA BOSSIDY WITH
THE UNIVERSITY ARIZONA COLLEGE
OF MEDICINE SAYS THE STATE
NEEDS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO
TACKLE THIS NEW SURGE.
NOW HE RECOMMENDS A STATE WIDE
MASK MANDATE AND MORE TESTING.
WELL, THREE WEST COAST STATES
ANNOUNCING TRAVEL ADVISORIES AS
CORONA VIRUS CASES CLIMB AND OF
COURSE IT COMES AHEAD OF THE
BUSIEST TRAVELING PERIOD OF THE
YEAR.
SO TEEN TWELVE'S URIST JOINS US
NOW FROM SKY HARBOR WITH THE
DETAILS.
>> THE SHORT ANSWER IS THIS IS
GOING TO AFFECT ARIZONAN'S
TRAVEL PLANS IN A REAL WAY.
THOSE THREE WEST COAST STATES
ARE CALIFORNIA, OF COURSE OUR
NEIGHBOR ALONG WITH WASHINGTON
AND OREGON AND AGAIN GOVERNORS
THERE URGING PEOPLE NOT TO
TRAVEL OUT OF STATE DURING THIS
BUSY HOLIDAY PERIOD.
PEOPLE THAT DO DECIDE TO LEAVE
THEIR RESPECTIVE STATES ARE
BEING ASKED QUARANTINE FOR 14
DAYS ONCE THEY GET BACK.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT COMES AS THE
COUNTRY FACES A SECOND WAVE OF
CORONA VIRUS CASES WITH MANY
STATES BREAKING RECORDS DAILY.
HERE AT ARIZONA WE'VE SEEN A
SPIKE IN CASES MORE THAN 2000
NEW CASES REPORTED YESTERDAY
ALONE.
AS HARD AS IT MAY BE, OFFICIALS
ARE URGING PEOPLE TO KEEP YOUR
TRAVEL PLANS WITHIN YOUR OWN
STATE AND AVOID LARGE
GATHERINGS.
DO NOT SNEAK IN OTHER
HOUSEHOLDS FOR THANKSGIVING.
GET A CHICKEN INSTEAD OF A
TURKEY OR A SMALL TURKEY.
DO THOSE THINGS TO ME THE
MANTRA IS TWO THINGS DON'T
SHARE YOUR AIR AND DON'T DO
STUPID THINGS.
>> THAT WAS L.A. MAYOR.
AND OTHER LEADERS ANNOUNCEMENTS
WILL INEVITABLY IMPACT
ARIZONANS IN A REAL WAY THIS
HOLIDAY SEASON.
TO BE CLEAR THOUGH AND THIS IS
IMPORTANT THESE LEADERS ARE
ASKING NOT REQUIRING YOU TO
STAY AWAY.
IN THE MEANTIME, HEALTH
OFFICIALS ARE ENCOURAGING
EVERYONE TO CONTINUE TO
PRACTICE TO FUNDAMENTALS.
OF COURSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
WASHING HANDS, WEARING YOUR
MASKS AND STAYING SOCIALLY
DISTANT AT SKY HARBOR MET YEARS
TODAY AND RAISING.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU, MATT.
WELL, NEARLY TWO WEEKS AFTER
THE ELECTION, PRESIDENT TRUMP
HAS STILL NOT FORMALLY
CONCEDED.
BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME HE DID
ACKNOWLEDGE JOE BIDEN WON.
WELL, SORT OF.
NOW IN A SERIES OF TWEETS THE
PRESIDENT WROTE BIDEN WON THE
ELECTION BIQUE EXCUSE ME BIDEN
WON BECAUSE THE ELECTION WAS
RIGGED.
I CONCEDE NOTHING.
WE HAVE A LONG WAYS TO GO.
SO TWITTER FLOGS BOTH OF THE
PRESIDENT'S TWEETS CITING NO
BASIS FOR HIS CLAIMS ABOUT
ELECTION FRAUD.
SENATOR MARTHA MCSALLY ALSO DID
NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT BUT
SHE HAS CONCEDED HER RACE TO
SENATOR ELECT MARK KELLY.
NOW HE COULD BE SWORN IN AS
SOON AS DEFENSE SEMBLER FIRST
BECAUSE STATE LAW AND SENATE
RULES THEY ALLOW FOR THE EARLY
SWEARING IN OF THE WINNER OF A
SPECIAL ELECTION AS SOON AS THE
RESULTS ARE CERTIFIED.
KELLY IS ACTUALLY SERVING OUT
THE REMAINDER OF SENATOR JOHN
MCCAIN'S TERM FOLLOWING HIS
DEATH.
KELLY SAT DOWN WITH POLITICAL
INSIDER BRAM REZNIK TO DISCUSS
HIS FIRST ORDER OF DUTY AS AN
ARIZONA SENATOR.
COUNTRY'S GOT TO GET BACK ON
TRACK BUT SO MANY THINGS.
I MEAN THE ECONOMY.
ROTAVIRUS.
HEALTH CARE.
OTHERS JUST SO MUCH TO DO.
>> KELLY WILL SERVE TWO YEARS
BEFORE HE FACES REELECTION AND
WILL FACE IT.
WE COULD ALL USE SOME CHRISTMAS
CHEER RIGHT ABOUT NOW.
SO STARTING TODAY YOU CAN SIGN
UP TO CUT DOWN YOUR VERY OWN
CHRISTMAS TREE FROM THE TONTO
NATIONAL FOREST.
MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE
TONTO NATIONAL PARK WEB SITE.
SO YOU KNOW WHICH TREES ARE
AVAILABLE AND WHERE YOU CAN
CHOP ONE DOWN.
NOW IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET A
PERMIT, CHECK OUT TWELVE
NEWS DOT COM.
AND THINGS ARE WARMING UP.
CRYSTAL, WE LOVE YOU BUT WE
JUST CAN'T DITCH THE HEAT.
SO GO AHEAD AND GIVE US YOUR
FORECAST FOR ONE ONE FOR
ACHIEVING IF I EVER SAW IT.
I MEAN WE'VE ALREADY BANGED OUT
30 RECORD HIGHS IN PHENIX SO
FAR THIS YEAR WE'VE TAKEN CARE
OF TWENTY EIGHT TO SUN SET OR
MATCH 19 IN FLAGSTAFF AND NOW
WE'RE AFTER MORE.
IN FACT WE COULD STRING
TOGETHER FOR RECORD HIGHS IN A
ROW FOR PHENIX.
WE ALSO HAVE OUR EYE ON THE
THERMOMETER IN THE OLD PUEBLO
WHERE WE COULD BE POPPING NINE
STARTING TOMORROW WHICH WOULD
BEAT THAT RECORD OF EIGHTY
SEVEN MORE RECORDS IN JEOPARDY
THROUGH THURSDAY HABITS TO HAS
TO KEEP ITS EYE ON THE
THERMOMETER TOO COULD PULL OFF
SOME RECORD HIGHS BY THE MIDDLE
OF THE WORKWEEK.
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL THAT NINETY
DEGREE TEMPERATURE IS IN REACH
IN OUR HOTTEST DESERT
LOCATIONS.
AND IF WE ACHIEVE THAT AND HAVE
A SEWER PHENIX THAT WOULD SET A
RECORD IN ITSELF FOR THE LATEST
DAYS IN THE CALENDAR YEAR SINCE
THESE DATES WHICH ARE CURRENTLY
IN THE RECORD BOOKS HAVE
ALREADY COME AND GONE.
WE'VE ALREADY TALLIED UP ONE
HUNDRED EIGHTY FOUR NINETY
DEGREE DAYS IN LAKE HAVASU.
PHENIX BRETT ONE EIGHTY NINE
ONE EIGHTY SEVEN A PIECE FOR
YUMA AND TUCSON.
THANKFULLY THOUGH TONIGHT I
THINK IT'S GONNA BE A REAL
CROWD PLEASER WHEN IT COMES TO
OUR WEATHER.
COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES IN THE
MID 60S IN THE VALLEY AND THE
DESERT FOR PICTURE PERFECT
VIEWING OF THE LEONID METEOR
SHOWERS CAN BE CHILLY IN
NORTHERN ARIZONA BUT YOU AT
LEAST GET THE GREEN TELESCOPE
ACROSS THE BOARD.
AS THE MOON WILL BE BELOW THE
HORIZON AT THIS POINT WILL BE A
NICE DARK AND CLOUD FREE SKY.
YOU CAN CATCH UP TO 15 METEORS
AN HOUR DURING THE AFTERNOONS
REFILLING ON THAT SUNSHINE
EVERY SINGLE DAY AND WILL SPEED
UP THOSE WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS
MIDWEEK.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU, CRYSTAL.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO DITCHING
THOSE RECORDS OFFICIALLY.
WELL, TIME FOR YOUR DAILY
JUICE.
THE BATTLE ROUNDS ARE BACK ON
TONIGHT ON THE VOICE.
AND WE'VE GOT ANOTHER ARIZONIAN
TAKING THE STAGE.
TORI MILLER IS FROM PHENIX AND
HOPES TO LOCK IN HER SPOT ON
TEAM GWEN ARIZONA'S OTHER
HOMETOWN STAR TANNER GOANS MADE
IT THROUGH THE BATTLES LAST
WEEK AND SECURED HIS SPOT ON
TEAM KELLY.
WE'LL SEE HIM IN THE KNOCKOUT
ROUNDS NEXT.
AND HOPEFULLY TORI TWO GUYS
SCRATCH THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON
EARTH OFF YOUR DESTINATION LIST
THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.
DISNEY'S CHIEF FINANCIAL
OFFICER SAYS DISNEYLAND AND
CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE MAY BE

BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.
BUT IF YOU'RE WILLING TO MAKE
