OFFICIALS SAY THUS FAR, THEY FOUND NONE THAT ARE CREDIBLE.

>> THERE WAS A LOT OF BUZZ THAT THERE WAS SOME SORT OF NATIONWIDE TIKTOK TREND OR CHALLENGE THAT WAS ENCOURAGING THREATS OR VIOLENCE AGAINST SCHOOLS.

THERE WAS NEVER ANY SPECIFIC OR DIRECT IT THREAT THAT SURFACED.

>> POWELL SCHOOL DISTRICT SAID THEY COLLABORATED WITH OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHEN THEY HEARD ABOUT THE THREATS BUT SINCE THEY WERE NOT SPECIFIC ULTIMATELY, THIS WASN'T ENOUGH TO CANCEL CLASSES BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY DISMISSED THEM ALTOGETHER.

>> AS ADULTS WE HAVE TO KNOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS OUT THERE.

WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE IT, LEAN INTO IT, LISTEN TO OUR STUDENTS, HAVE THEM AS PARTNERS IN THIS CONVERSATION INTO HOW WE MEET THEIR NEEDS DURING THESE TIMES OF THREATS AND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS.

>> WITH THAT, WINTER BREAK BEGINS WITH HOPE, HAPPINESS, AND GOOD HEALTH.

>>> SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY IS TELLING SOME OF ITS STUDENTS THAT THEY WILL NEED TO GET BOOSTED IF THEY ARE NOT ALREADY.

COVID-19 BOOSTER SHOTS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ANYONE WHO LIVES IN THE RESIDENCE HALLS ARE IS A STUDENT ATHLETE.

THE FOOTBALL TEAM IS ONE EXAMPLE OF COVID EXPOSURE THIS SEASON.

IT CAUSED MORE THAN A DOZEN PLAYERS TO MISS A RECENT GAME.

THEY WILL PROVIDE GIFT CARDS AND OTHER PRIZES TO THOSE WHO UPDATE THEIR VACCINE RECORD BY JANUARY 18.>>> THE CITY OF OCEANSIDE IS JOINING A COUPLE OF OTHER LOCAL CITIES AND REFUSING TO ENFORCE THE STATE INDOOR MASK MANDATE.

EL CAJON AND CORONADO HAVE DONE SO AND NOW OCEANSIDE COUNCILMEMBER CHRISTOPHER RODRIGUEZ SAYS THEY SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE THE MANPOWER TO DO IT UNLESS THE STATE PROVIDES A.

>> I REACHED OUT TO MY CITY MANAGER AS WELL AS THE POLICE CHIEF AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD BE ENFORCING THE STATEWIDE MANDATE AND THE ANSWER WAS NO.

>> OCEANSIDE'S WEBSITE STATES THE MANDATE WILL APPLY TO ALL FACILITIES AND THOSE WHO ENTER THEM.

MAYOR SANCHEZ TOLD OUR MEDIA PARTNER KGTV THAT IT IS THE POLICY OF HER CITY TO ALLOW THE COUNTY TO DO HER ENFORCEMENT BUT SHE HOPES PEOPLE WILL MASK UP.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT IS ON TRACK TO SPEND MORE THAN $7 MILLION ON OVERTIME THAN THEY WERE AUTHORIZED TO IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.

PBS METRO REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN SAYS THE DEPARTMENT EXPLANATION DOESN'T QUITE ADD UP.

>> LAST APRIL WHEN MAYOR TODD GLORIA ANNOUNCES FIRST BUDGET SINCE TAKING OFFICE HE HIGHLIGHTED PROPOSED CUTS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS OVERTIME BUDGET CITING IT AS EVIDENCE HE WAS NOT HANDING THE POLICE A BLANK CHECK.

HE SAID THE CUTS WERE REALISTIC.

>> I HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH OUR POLICE CHIEF TO MAKE SURE THIS IS A REASONABLE CUT.

ONE THAT WILL NOT HARM PUBLIC SAFETY OR OFFICER SAFETY AND IS ACTUALLY PRACTICAL AND IMPLEMENTABLE.

MY RESPONSIBILITY IS TO MANAGE THE ORGANIZATION AND HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE THIS BUDGET PROPOSAL I AM CONFIDENT WE CAN HIT THESE MARKS AND WE WILL MANAGE TO MAKE SURE THAT IS THE CASE.

>> FAST-FORWARD TO THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

ONLY THREE MONTHS INTO THE FISCAL YEAR AND SD PD HAD ALREADY BEGIN TO BLOW PAST THE OVERTIME BUDGET.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS HAD TO SPEND MORE ON OVERTIME THAN ANTICIPATED BECAUSE OF A 20% INCREASE IN CALLS FOR SERVICE.

WHEN PRESSED FOR DETAILS IN A CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETING LAST MONTH, THE POLICE CHIEF GAVE NUMBERS THAT SHOWED THE YEAR-OVER-YEAR INCREASE WAS NOT 20%, BUT LESS THAN 5%.

THE TWO-YEAR INCREASE WAS ABOUT 18%.

THEY SAY THAT IS SUSPICIOUS.

>> IT SEEMS TO US THAT SDPD MANIPULATES DATA BY OVERSPENDING ON THE BUDGET AND FINDING A STATISTIC OR ANECDOTE THAT JUSTIFIES THE OVERSPENDING AND THERE IS A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY.

>> MAYOR TODD GLORIA SAYS HE THINKS THE OVERSPENDING ON OVERTIME IS NECESSARY TO KEEP SAN DIEGO SAFE.

>> WHAT YOU SEE ON THE STREETS EVERY DAY REQUIRES US TO DO THINGS WE HAVEN'T DONE BEFORE.

OUR COUNTY GOVERNMENT HAS INVESTED THIS MUCH AND HAVE BEEN PROACTIVE BUT THAT IS CHANGING.

>> WHEN IT COMES TO THE HOMELESS, PEOPLE NEED HELP.

>> DUCHESSES OUTREACH WORKERS ARE JUST ONE PIECE.

THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO GO WHEN THEY ARE READY.

>> BE BEAUTY OF HOUSING IS A COMES WITH SUPPORTIVE SERVICES.

>>> THIS WEEK, THE NAVY OUTLINED ITS CASE AGAINST THE SAILOR ACCUSED OF SETTING FIRE TO THE U.S.S.

MONOMER SHOT IN 2020.

STEVE WALSH AS THE HEARING SHOWS HOW DIFFICULT IT CAN BE TO PROVE ARSON.

>> APPRENTICE RYAN SAWYER MAYS WAS IN COURT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEK.

CHARGED WITH ARSON AND HAZARDING A VESSEL IN THE FIRE THAT DESTROYED THE U.S.S.

BAR NUMBER SHARD IN JULY 2020.

NO ONE SAW THE FIRE BREAK OUT IN THE LOWER VEHICLE HOLD.

THE HOLD WAS CRAMMED WITH BOXES, HOSES AND CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AS THE SHIP FINISHED ITS MAINTENANCE CYCLE.

TWO SAILORS MATED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP BUT SMOKE AND HEAT DROVE THEM BACK.

DEFENSE EXPERTS POST HOLES IN THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS ARSON SAYING THEY COULD RULE OUT LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES OR A SPARK FROM INSIDE THE FORKLIFT PARK IN THE BAY WHERE THE FIRE BROKE OUT.

>> IT IS ONE OF THE TOUGHER CRIMES TO PREVENT IT DOES HAVE A RELATIVELY LOW CLEARANCE RATE ACCORDING TO THE FBI UNIFORM CRIME REPORTS.

>> ROBERTSHAW WORKS WITH GULF COAST FIRE IN FLORIDA.

>> SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T PROVE IT IS OUR SINCE I CAN NEVER GET TO WHO DID IT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLICATING FACTORS IN ARSON CASES THAT ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER CRIMES.

>> NAVAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES INTERVIEWED MAYS FOR MORE THAN NINE HOURS.

HAD LIED ABOUT DETAILS OF HIS TIME IN FUELS BASIC TRIBUTE.

A MILITARY POLICE OFFICER TESTIFIED THAT AS MAYS LEARNED HE WAS BEING TAKEN INTO CUSTODY, A DETECT DID MAYS SAYS I GUESS I DID IT BUT EVEN SHE WASN'T SURE IF HE WAS SERIOUS.

>> GARY BARTEL IS HIS CIVILIAN ATTORNEY.

HE SPOKE WEEKLY AT THE END OF THE THREE DAYS OF HEARING.

PROSECUTORS PRETRADE MAYS AS HATING THE NAVY.

>> OBVIOUSLY, HIS ATTITUDE HAS CHANGED GIVEN THE ALLEGATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE AGAINST HIM.

HIS INTENT WAS ALWAYS TO RETURN BACK AND BE A SEAL.

>> THE NAVY PAINTED HIM AS UPSET AFTER BEING SENT TO A SHIP AFTER HE VOLUNTARILY LEFT TRAINING TO BE A SEAL ANYONE WHO DOESN'T MAKE IT IS SENT TO THE REGULAR NAVY.

IT IS ACTUALLY A PROBLEM FIFTH LAURENS BRENNAN.

>> THEY GO BACK TO THE DAYS WHERE HE WANTED TO BE A SEAL.

IT IS A PROBLEM WHEN YOU HAVE A SMART PERSON WHO IS FRUSTRATED AND GOES FROM THE WORLD WHERE HE THINKS HE IS GOING TO BE A SEAL AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT ENTAILS IN REALITY AS WELL AS IN HIS VISION AND GETS SENT TO A SHIP WHERE HE OR SHE IS GIVEN A CREDIT JOB.

>> THEY DECLARED THE U.S. BY NUMBER SHARD A TOTAL LOSS AFTER THE BUYER BERT FERN BURN FROM WITHIN FOUR DAYS.

THOUGH NO ONE DIED IT WAS STILL A VERY PUBLIC FAILURE FOR THE NAVY.

THERE IS PRESSURE TO FIND OUT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE SAYS ROBERTSHAW.

>> I WOULD SAY YES.

THE HIGHER THE PROFILE THE CASE, THE MORE PRESSURE THERE IS ON THE GOVERNMENT TO HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY.

HERE, YOU HAVE LOST A MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR VESSEL.

>> THE HEARING OFFICER WILL LIKELY TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS TO REVIEW THE TESTIMONY AND REPORTS BEFORE RECOMMENDING TO THE ADMIRAL IN CHARGE WHETHER MAYS SHOULD FACE COURT-MARTIAL.

THE LEGAL STANDARD IS POSSIBLE CAUSE WHICH IS NOT AN OVERLY HIGH BAR.

IF IT GOES TO TRIAL THE BURDEN WILL BE TO PROVE HIS ARSON WILL BE HIGHER.

FIRST >>> THERE WILL BE SOME BLUSTERY TIMES INTO TONIGHT AS WE TALK ABOUT THE NORTHEAST BREEZE COMING IN ESPECIALLY FOR THE MOUNTAINS.

WE ARE LEADING INTO A PRETTY QUIET SEARCH OF WHETHER WITH CHILLY NIGHTS AHEAD.

A LOT OF THE SINGING OUT IN THE 30s THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BUT THE DRY WEATHER CONTINUES ITS NEXT WEEK.

IT WILL NOT BE UNTIL THE NEXT WEEK CHANCE FOR RAIN.

YOU CAN SEE MANY PLACES ARE DUE INTO THE 30.

LAGUNA 33.

THERE DEFINITELY IS SOME CHILL OUT THERE AND THE DRY COOL AIR DOES STICK AROUND THROUGHOUT THE REGION AS WE HEAD THROUGH YOUR SATURDAY.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT STILL SOME SUNSHINE.

THE DAYS NOT FEELING ALL THAT BAD.

IT WILL BE MORE OF THE NIGHTS THAT WE NOTICED THE IMPACT.

65 THE HIGH FOR TOMORROW.

ESCONDIDO WE ARE COMING IN THAT 66.

FOR MANY.

IT IS THE EVENINGS THAT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT COLD INTO THE MORNING HOURS.

TEMPERATURES AGAIN FOR THE COAST POSSIBLY MAKING IT DOWN INTO THE 30s FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF NIGHTS BUT THE DAYTIME HOURS LOW TO MID 60s.

TANYA SUNSHINE OUT THERE.

WE WILL SEE THE CLOUDS COME IN BUT EVEN THEN, WE ARE LARGELY DRY UNTIL WEDNESDAY.

THAT IS THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN INCLUDING FOR THE INLAND COMMUNITIES.

NOTICED THE NUMBERS STILL IN THE 30s WHEN WE HAVE THE CLEAR SKIES.

IT DOES GET CHILLY OVERNIGHT.

WE WILL MAYBE SEE THE CHAPTERS IS.

THAT IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT RAIN CHANCE WE ARE WATCHING.

JACOB AIR SPOKE WITH HER SUCCESSOR, SEAN RIVERA, AS HE SETTLES INTO HIS NEW POSITION.

>> A COMMUNITY PLAN UPDATE IS A MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT.

>> AFTER JUST ONE YEAR ON THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL, SHE IS NOT ABOUT IT -- SAMUEL IS THE NEW LEADER.

HE SAYS IT HAS BEEN A BIT CRAZY DURING THE FIRST WEEK IN THE POSITION BUT HE IS EXCITED AND ALREADY THINKING TOWARD A FUTURE.

>> I CSS HAVING THE POTENTIAL TO BEING A REALLY STRONG COUNSEL THAT IS TRANSPARENT TO THE COMMUNITY THAT IS COLLABORATIVE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND MAKES WELL-INFORMED RESPONSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS.

>> ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS ARE AN IMPORTANT WAY TO CREATE RELATIVELY AFFORDABLE SUSTAINABLE HOUSING FOR FOLKS.

WE ALSO KNOW THERE CAN BE SOME UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE BEING MINDFUL OF THOSE AS POLICIES ARE PUT INTO PLACE.

WILL TELL YOU WHY INTEREST RATES ARE LIKELY GOING UP NEXT YEAR IN THE FRIDAY BUSINESS REPORT.

>>> THE FED ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK THEY ARE GOING TO CUT BACK ON THEIR BOND PURCHASES BY THE END OF MARCH AND POTENTIALLY RAISE INTEREST RATES THREE TIMES IN 2022.

THE REASON IS THE FED CHAIR REALLY SAID THE ECONOMY IS HEALING.

ROBUST GROWTH EXPECTED.

WEEKLY UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS, AND IMPLEMENT CLAIMS ARE AT A LOW AND CONSUMERS ARE SPENDING.

INTEREST RATES ARE ALMOST 0%.

THE FED BELIEVES BY THE END OF 2023, RATES MAY BE AS HIGH AS 2%.

WE WILL SEE IN 2022 THE RATES INCREASE.

>> DO YOU LIKE BOND?

JAMES BOND?

IF SO, YOU WILL PROBABLY LIKE THIS NEXT REPORT ON JAMES BOND OF THE MUSICAL AT THE CORONADO PLAYHOUSE THIS WEEKEND.

>>> MEET BOND, JAMES BOND.

NO, WAIT.

THAT IS STUART -- TOM STEWART.

ACTOR TOM STEWART HAS BEEN CHANNELING JAMES BOND SINCE 2018 WHEN HE DID ONE MAN BOND FOR THE FILM FESTIVAL.

>> IT STARTED AS A SHOW THAT WAS AS BASIC AS COULD BE.

I COULD LITERALLY TAKE ANYWHERE AND DO THAT.

BECAUSE OF THAT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTABLE TO TAKE TO THEATERS AND SAY I HAVE THIS SHOWING WE CAN MAKE IT AS BIG AS YOU WANT ARE AS SMALL AS YOU WANT.

THE JOY OF THE SHOW WAS ALWAYS REINVENTING IT EACH TIME BASED ON THE PLACE YOU ARE PERFORMING.

>> NOW HE HAS REVAMPED THE SHOW FOR CORONADO PLAYHOUSE AND CREATED JAMES BOND OF THE MUSICAL.

STEWART IS NOT INTERESTED IN THOSE ICONIC BOND THEME SONGS.

>> I ON THE OTHER HAND AM VERY INTERESTED IN THIS SHADOW WORLD OF MUSIC WHICH ARE THE THEMES SUBMITTED TO THE PRODUCERS BUT REJECTED.

OR SONGS SPECIFICALLY RECORDED AS BACKGROUND.

I WANTED TO BRING ALL OF THAT TO LIGHT.

THE SHOW HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ALTERNATIVE SKEWED PERSPECTIVE.

I WANTED TO HAVE A MUSICAL VERSION OF THE FILM SPECTER.

THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE SPECIFICALLY A WILLIAM SHATNER SPOKEN WORD VERSION OF THE MOVIE.

STEWART IS PLENTY BOND ENOUGH TOUCHE CARRY HIS SHOW AS HE CHANNELS ALL 6 OF THE ACTORS WHO HAVE PLAYED JAMES BOND STARTING WITH SEAN CONNERY.

'S WE WILL IS SHE MENTAL?

>> IT IS ABOUT FINDING THAT ONE PHYSICAL TAKE.

THERE IS A PIECE OF THE FACE THAT THEY USE MORE THAN OTHERS.

FOR ME, DANIEL CRAIG IS ALWAYS THIS KIND OF STANCE.

I ONLY TRIED TO BE ACCURATE WITH SOME OF THE BOND ACTORS.

THE OTHERS I DO TERRIBLE.

>> IT IS FUNNY JUST TO GO FOR A FULL ON CROCODILE DUNDEE.

>> I AM DEFINITELY NOT JAMES BOND BECAUSE I AM WEARING GLASSES.

NOW I AM OFF TO SWITZERLAND TO HAVE SEX WITH MORE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN THAT HAVE EVER BEEN ASSEMBLED IN THE FRANCHISE.

>> STEWART HAS DONE INTENSE RESEARCH TO FIND NOT ONLY OBSCURE MYSTICAL TIDBITS BUT ALSO FASCINATING TRIVIA ABOUT THE BONDS MOVIES.

WHETHER YOU ARE A CASUAL CONSUMER OF 007 OR A DIEHARD FAN, THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

>> I THINK THE WRITERS ARE TRYING TO ASSURE THE AUDIENCE THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE CHANGED THE ACT OF PLAYING BOND, THE FILM STILL EXISTS IN THE SAME STORY WORLD.

IT IS ALL FILMGOERS WILL CARE ABOUT BY 2021.

>> IS A LONGTIME BOND AND I PUT MY NERDY SEAL OF APPROVAL ON THIS HILARIOUS AND SURPRISINGLY ACCURATE SUMMATION.>>> YOU CAN FIND NICE STORIES ON OUR WEBSITE KPBS.ORG.
