KFI AM 640. You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the IHeart Radio app.

Mark Thompson sitting in for John, who, as I've mentioned yesterday, is an old traveling buddy for me,

as well as being a pal. We used to, we've traveled to the world together.

I know. It's an odd thing, but so it's sort of fun for me to be here on the show until John returns on Tuesday.

Much to do today.

I'll update you on Powerball.

Short story is you didn't win, I didn't win, but the good news is nobody else won.

So the Powerball numbers continue to rise.

We'll get to the border. There is, look, there's a serious migrant crisis, and we'll talk about strategies that are being employed and talked about to

handle that crisis, how effective or ineffective they may be. We'll get to ABC's Andy Field because Amazon is going to start something.

If you don't know about it, you're not going to like it.

This is Amazon Prime Video.

And increasingly, Amazon is becoming sort of like a mainstream TV network, right?

They show football and they show a bunch of other stuff, movies, and things that have brought a lot of boys to the yard. And the deal is that now

Amazon will do something that many other mainstream networks are doing. And I'll tell you about

that a little bit later. Steve Gregory comes by with an update on something that happened on Christmas Eve, and it's

sort of grim, but it's a reality of life in the city. And Ed Begley Jr., the award-winning actor,

and I think activist, I can use that word, Ed Begley will be here in the final hour.

So there's a lot to do, and we will get to it.

The power ball I will start with because I know many play it.

You only need to know the amount of money at the end of this.

The pot of gold is $760 million to know that many people play it.
