I'm Amy King, Happy Friday. I'm super excited. I've 6 00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.399 got a girls' weekend planned. My friend Teresa flew in a couple of days 7 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.520 ago, and then I've got Heidi and DEBI are both flying in today. 8 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.479 Just some of my best friends from way back in high school and we're gonna 9 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:03.039 we're gonna hit Disneyland this weekend. But super excited that everybody's going to be 10 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:04.599 in town. I hope that you've got some great weekend plans. Oh my 11 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.120 god, the weather's going to be absolutely perfect, sunny, beautiful, maybe 12 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:14.879 a little windy tomorrow, but really really a nice weekend before another storm rolls 13 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.599 in next week. Here is what's ahead on wake up Call. We're just 14 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:23.280 now getting this information. In the United Nations Top Court has told Israel that 15 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.599 it must take measures to prevent its forces from committing acts of genocide against Palestinians, 16 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.439 but the court stopped short of using its power to order a full ceasefire 17 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.920 of the Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip. A retired FBI agent says 18 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.519 the six people found dead in the desert in San Bernardino County appear to be 19 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:49.599 victims of a gangland style killing. That's what the retired special Agent, Bobby 20 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.359 Shicone told KTLA. Says authorities need to figure out who the six were because 21 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.959 more people could be in danger. The bodies were found late Tuesday night and 22 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:04.079 early Wednesday morning along a road in Mirage. An experimental helicopter that has taken 23 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:08.120 seventy two flights over the Martians service in the last three years has been permanently 24 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:14.639 grounded. NASA says the Ingenuity suffered rotor blade damage that will prevent it from 25 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:19.000 flying again. NASA's still got way more out of the little helicopter than expected. 26 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.280 It was only expected to last for thirty days and five flights. Let's 27 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.919 get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 28 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.280 newsroom. A man who killed a six year old boy because he was because 29 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.080 he was flipped off on the fifty five Freeway and Orange has been convicted of 30 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.680 second degree murder. Twelve citizens of Orange County agreed that it was murder. 31 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.439 Orange County DA Todd Spitzer says if the jury had given Marcus the Reze manslaughter, 32 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.319 it has sent a dangerous message to gun carrying road rage drivers. Said, 33 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.400 if you get into some kind of exchange and you fire your weapon, 34 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:57.919 you are only responsible for voluntary manslaughter. This jury said no. Mareze was 35 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.719 also convicted yesterday of shooting at an occupy vehicle in twenty twenty one and two 36 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.199 gun enhancements. The man faces forty years to life. That sentencing set for 37 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.759 April at the OC Superior Court. Corbin Carson KFI News I suspected hit and 38 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.240 run driver who hit a man on a bicycle in Burbank has been arrested. 39 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.199 The collision happened just over a week ago. The man on the bike was 40 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.439 taken to the hospital in critical condition. Police say the twenty three year old 41 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:24.240 caught yesterday admitted to being the driver of the hit and run. Especially trained 42 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:31.120 Customs canine has discovered thirty eight pounds of fentanyl inside a spare tire during a 43 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:37.319 border checkpoint. Inspection in San Clementy. A guy driving a gray car was 44 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:42.680 headed northbound on the five last week. He was pulled over into a secondary 45 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.800 inspectionery. That's where the dog got a whiff of the drugs. Agents checked 46 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.680 the trunk and noticed the spare tire was heavier than it should be. Agents 47 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:57.479 say they found fifteen plastic wrapped bags of blue pills with a street value of 48 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.520 one point seven million dollars. California has the most restaurants on yelp's list of 49 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.560 the top one hundred places to eat in twenty twenty four. The state dominates 50 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:12.159 Eighteen restaurants made the list, but the highest ranked was third place. It 51 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:17.240 was the Sunnyside Kitchen in Escondido. Menu Rui in Saint Louis came in second, 52 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.879 and to Americo in Tucson took the top spot. Arizona, Florida, 53 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:26.639 and Texas or other states with the most restaurants on the list. Let's say 54 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.639 good morning now to ABC political director Rick Klein. Rick. I see you 55 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:31.720 all the time, but this is the first time I've gotten to talk to 56 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:38.000 you on wake up call. Good morning, Good morning with it. We've 57 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.160 got a busy day or busy week, and you're here to tell us all 58 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.319 about it. So let's start with the New Hampshire primary. And something that 59 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.199 was really interesting that came out of that was that immigration was a very important 60 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:56.079 issue to New Hampshire voters. Is that the sentiment around the US. Yeah, 61 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.879 I mean New haves for and Iowa are nowhere close to the US field 62 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.879 border, but they feel it, they think it, they're they're you know, 63 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.800 they're very much on the mind of voters as they as they cast their 64 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.680 ballots. And I think that isn't unique. I think that's probably a sentiment 65 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:14.800 that a lot of people feel watching on television, reading and sending from the 66 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:21.600 neighbors hope, did we lose you? Or security? But the thing they 67 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.160 may hold it up as presidential politics because Donald Trump is telling Republicans don't do 68 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.240 this. He thinks it's a bad deal and a bad idea. Okay, 69 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.800 so you cut out for just a minute, Rick, What is Trump saying 70 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.680 is a bad idea? He thinks a deal and he kind of a cutting 71 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.879 a deal with for immigration reform for border security is a bad ideal. He's 72 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.040 trying a bad deal. He's trying to think it. He's trying to tell 73 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.319 Republicans do not sign on to a deal, even though a lot of them 74 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:51.800 feel like they get. Okay, And as the former president and the most 75 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.879 likely candidate, although it's not set in stone yet, does he still wield 76 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.360 that kind of power over Congress. It sure seems like it. I mean, 77 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.680 look, he's not the nominee yet, he certainly the president again yet, 78 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.720 but the way that he is able to kind of show control and show 79 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.839 power over his fellow Republicans remains unmatched. And I've never seen anything like it. 80 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.480 There's really not any precedent for it. But you know, if you 81 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.800 think about this race is basically two intumbents, maybe it begins to make sense. 82 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:28.480 Even though with that context, though, it's odd how the stay of 83 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.920 a candidate for president can be as impactful as it seems to be right now. 84 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.319 Maybe it's because they're all scared of him. Okay, that was just 85 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:40.680 an aside, you think. Okay, So the New Hampshire primary, Trump 86 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.319 wont it this week, pretty decent margin. It was like, did it 87 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.160 turn out to be like eleven or twelve points? But Nicki Hale that's about 88 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.600 right. Yeah, Nicki Haley is sticking with it, She says, she's 89 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.399 staying in the race. Is that realistic? Can she really do that for 90 00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.160 much longer? Well, I mean, look, I think she's gonna have 91 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.720 to start showing a path to victory and actually notching from the victories and doing 92 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.399 it fast, because right now, you know, you're not going to beat 93 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.439 Donald Trump by losing the Donald Trump over and over again. And that's what 94 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.720 happened in the first two contests. That's it. It's only the first two 95 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.120 contests, right. Think about how only two out of at the fifty states 96 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.439 have even voted. Yet there's a lot to go. The delegates are still 97 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:25.319 out there to be to be one and you know, there's certainly that possibility 98 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.360 whether it's good luck or bad luck for her. The next big thing on 99 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.959 the on the docket is her home state of South Carolina. Good luck because 100 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.639 she's won there twice before. Bad luck because she's down thirty points to Donald 101 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.399 Trump there, so she has the opportunity. And if she doesn't win to 102 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.120 South Carolina, then I think the question is becoming from Burger and they may 103 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.360 be origent before then. I mean, she's right now on a fundraising list 104 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.759 trying to make the case the donors that she still has a path when you 105 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.439 know a lot of them are very skeptical as to whether this is even doable. 106 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.399 And does that starts to come into play too. You mentioned donors. 107 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.360 She could say she wants to stay in all day long, but if the 108 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.839 money drives up, there's no way for her to do it. Yeah, 109 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.800 you're at you're at a stage in the campaign where you're burning money at a 110 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.519 crazy cliff just to travel and organize events and just get from point A to 111 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.519 point B. And if you can't convince donors to continue to fund your campaign, 112 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:13.800 there's just no way that the things can continue for you as the candidate. 113 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.720 Truly. Okay, So this week on ABC is a mussy for me 114 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.319 every Sunday morning, and tell us what's coming up on this week this week, 115 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.160 Well, you'll see you'll see me, which is always fun talking about 116 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.439 fun Rick it is. Yeah, there we go. I love that we're 117 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.039 going to talk to Senator Tim Scott fresh off that enthusiastic endorsement of Donald Trump 118 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:41.360 the other the other day, as well as Gavin Newsom, governor California. 119 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.519 You know, well, I'm going to be in South Carolina something for the 120 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.039 Biden campaign. So that'll be some fun, Bun. The watch all around 121 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.639 newsom is going to South Carolina. Interesting. Yeah, all right, that'll 122 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.440 be very interesting. Rick, thank you so much for the time. I 123 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.559 hope we get to talk to you more. Thank you anytime. Thanks. 124 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.799 All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 125 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.639 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As I mentioned just a couple of minutes ago, 126 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.720 the United Nations Top Court has told Israel it must take measures to prevent 127 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:15.559 its forces from committing acts of genocide against Palestinians, but it did not order 128 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:20.840 it to do a full cease fire. South Africa has accused Israel of genocide 129 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.159 and called for an immediate ceasefire. The President of the International Court of Justice 130 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.440 in the Netherlands read the decision today, made by a panel of seventeen judges. 131 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.440 ABC's Matt Gutman says though the ruling is only an interim one, though 132 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.919 any UN resolution that comes as a result of that will likely be vetoed by 133 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.960 the US. Israel rejects the accusation by South Africa and asked the court to 134 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.240 throw out the charges. The court said it would not do that. Construction 135 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.039 of a new terminal at the Burbank Airport has taken fight. The three hundred 136 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.279 and fifty five thousand square foot building is set to be complete in the fall 137 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.159 of twenty twenty six. The airport's executive direct actor, Frank Miller, says 138 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.080 the building could have upgraded security features, including facial recognition. One of the 139 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.399 challenges that we have with the planning and design of this building is how do 140 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.200 we design a building that's flexible to adjust to the technology changes that we know 141 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:18.840 are coming. The airport currently processes about six million passengers annually. The new 142 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.759 terminal will handle up to ten million. In Burbank. Blake Trolly k if 143 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.279 I News. She's not going to learn from this experience. This is not 144 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.639 going to make her think she just got away with murder. A father has 145 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.200 spoken out against the judge who sentenced a woman from Thousand Oaks to probation for 146 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.879 stabbing his son to death. She was convicted of involuntary manslaughter last month and 147 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.960 sentenced this week to two years probation and one hundred hours of community service. 148 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.639 He has set a precedent in California where it appears to be okay to smoke 149 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.960 marijuana and commit a violent crime and you're only going to get probation. The 150 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:56.279 defense claimed brin Spetcher was suffering from cannabis induced psychosis when she stabbed her boyfriend 151 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:03.679 more than one hundred times and also herself several times. Alabama has executed a 152 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.279 convicted killer with nitrogen gas, marking the first time that method has been used 153 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:13.720 in the US. Myth was pronounced deceased by physicians at eight twenty five pm 154 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:20.399 Central Standard time. Alabama Corrections Commissioner John ham says Kenneth Smith was holding his 155 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.279 breath for as long as he could last night and struggled against his restraints. 156 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:30.120 But there's some involuntary movement and some agnial breathing, so that was all expected. 157 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.159 Smith was sentenced to death over a nineteen eighty eight murder for hire in 158 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:39.799 which he stabbed a pastor's wife. He survived a first attempt at a execution 159 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:46.159 through lethal by lethal injection in twenty twenty two. Sentencing is expected in LA 160 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:52.200 for formal former councilman Jose Wezar, who pleaded guilty to bribery and other corruption 161 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.000 charges. Federal prosecutors say he used his office to give favorable treatment to real 162 00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:01.919 estate developers who financed and facilitated bribes, campaign donations, and other benefits. 163 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.279 They won a thirteen year prison sentence and more than a million dollars in restitution 164 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.919 to be ordered. City Wesar's lawyer says nine years in prison would be enough. 165 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.720 Closing arguments are set to begin in New York in the defamation case against 166 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.919 former President Trump. Aaron Katirsky says Trump took the stand yesterday to defend himself, 167 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.840 but was only up there for about three minutes. The judge spent more 168 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.440 time telling him what he couldn't say. He had already been found liable for 169 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.360 sexual assault and defamation, and the judge told Trump there would be no do 170 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.919 overs. Trump complained on the way out, this is not America. The 171 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.480 jury will decide how much Trump owes against e. Gene Carroll for defaming her 172 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.759 when he denied her sexual abuse allegations. Carroll once at least thirteen or ten 173 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.039 million dollars. King Charles the Third has been admitted to a private hospital in 174 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.679 London for a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate. Buckingham Palace says it's a 175 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:03.200 pre planned treatment. Charles is having the procedure at the same hospital where the 176 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:09.679 Princess of Wales, is recovering from abdominal surgery. The King visited Kate at 177 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.840 the hospital when he arrived. Alaska Airlines in United have been cleared to allow 178 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:20.039 their fleets of Boeing seven thirty seven Max nine planes take off once they've been 179 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:26.200 thoroughly inspected. Alaska's Max nine's could be back in the air today. United 180 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:30.360 is expected to start flying him this weekend. The state of Alabama has put 181 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:37.039 Kenneth Eugene Smith to death by nitrogen hypoxia. This is the first time that 182 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.440 method has been used for an execution. He was sentenced to death for a 183 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:46.279 nineteen eighty eight murder and lived through a botched twenty two to twenty twenty two 184 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:52.240 execution attempt. The Budweiser Clydesdale's are going to be back for Super Bowl. 185 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:58.200 Anheuser Busch has put out a fifteen second teaser of the Budweiser Draft Horses commercial 186 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.559 that will air during Super Bowl this year. The company stopped airing Clydesdale commercials 187 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.840 for Super Bowl three years ago during the pandemic. It was the first time 188 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:11.519 in nearly forty years the Clydesdales skipped the Super Bowl at six oh five Tandle 189 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.879 on the news, the top United Nations Court has stopped short of ordering a 190 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.360 ceasefire in Gaza, but is demanding that Israel try to contain death and damage 191 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.480 and allow more aid into the strip. Let's say good morning now to the 192 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:30.879 regional director of the National Wildlife Federation, Beth Pratt. Beth, it's a 193 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:35.720 sad week for mountain lions and mountain lion lovers, and especially tragic because one 194 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:41.840 of the mountain lions killed around southern California this week was pregnant. Yeah, 195 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.080 no, thanks for having me, Amy, And it has been a heartbreaking 196 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.519 week for those of us who who do this work in trying to ensure these 197 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:54.919 populations of mountain lions in southern California sustain You know, there's a really scientific 198 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.240 angle to this, but these are also animals that we love, and to 199 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.279 loose three in a week to our roadways has just been heartbreaking. And yes, 200 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:09.480 one of the animals was pregnant. Uno, who was you know, 201 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.919 a cat that was beloved by a lot and was named you know, almost 202 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.960 as famous as P twenty two, at least in the area. And you 203 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.320 know, especially these cats are just trying to survive on this urban landscape. 204 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.399 And for me, it's just really difficult to see them, you know, 205 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:33.159 laying by the side of the road mangled by cars. They are magnificent wild 206 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:39.720 creatures. Yeah. And and so Luno was killed trying to cross Santiago Canyon 207 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.559 Road. That's an Orange County And then where were the other two killed this 208 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.240 week? Yeah, so we had you know, Uno unfortunately. And then 209 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:54.240 in the Santa Monica Mountains, we had a young female juvenile was hit by 210 00:15:54.279 --> 00:16:02.440 a call on Las Virginis Road and that actually I actually during my annual P 211 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:07.399 twenty two track walk down that road. And it's a really terrible road for 212 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:14.639 being a two lane. People just go really fast. It's windy, no 213 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.039 sidewalks in areas. I'm surprised I sometimes make it so that young juvenile was 214 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:25.679 killed there. And then another cat was killed on sixty or sixteen near Diamond 215 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:30.759 Bar, and the news picked up some aerial footage of that cat. I 216 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.159 do not know where. I'm still awaiting details on that cat, the sex 217 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:40.840 and approximate age. But yeah, three three in one week. Yeah, 218 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.840 and there's not that many there. I know that. Recently a study came 219 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:49.639 out and said what the actual mountain lion population is probably between thirty five hundred 220 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.000 and forty five hundred, and you guys had expected that it was higher than 221 00:16:53.000 --> 00:17:00.120 that. Yeah, you know, it was great to finally have that study 222 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:04.039 because estimates of mount lions prior for the state of California were really kind of 223 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:11.000 just mathematic mathematical calculations. Okay, we know mount lions need this much territory, 224 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.599 and here's how much Mountalin habitat is in California, so let's do the 225 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.920 math, right, So it was great. This is a multi year study, 226 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:23.359 but yeah, it was at least a little less than by some estimates 227 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:27.400 what we had thought, or what the prior estimates were, thirty five hundred 228 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:32.559 to four or five hundred and overall that, you know, that's at least 229 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.200 stay what we think are healthy or at least you know, we don't know 230 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:41.000 population for California. But when you start looking at these regions that are isolated 231 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:47.440 and have become islands because of the freeways, which is the Santa Monica Mountains, 232 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:53.480 which is Orange County, these populations are small and isolated, and it's 233 00:17:53.799 --> 00:18:02.160 also they are cut off from other mountline populations, so genetically they are not 234 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.359 very diverse, and that's why you have the situation you have in the Santa 235 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:10.960 Monica Mountains where they're inbreeding themselves out of existence. So yeah, you lose 236 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:17.079 like one male breeding male or a pregnant female in these areas that are cut 237 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:22.839 off by our roadways or development, and those populations really start becoming vulnerable. 238 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:27.279 Okay, Beth, why is it important for us to have a thriving mountain 239 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.079 lion population? I mean, like circle of life stuff. We go, 240 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.640 oh, cool, big cats, but they're really important to the whole circle 241 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:38.119 of life stuff. Yeah, I mean, you know there's to me, 242 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:42.599 there's a few reasons. I mean one is, obviously I can go into 243 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:51.279 the biological and ecological significance, which is we know from scientific evidence what happens 244 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:56.200 when you start pulling out the top predators from any landscape. You look at 245 00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.000 the studies that have been done when wolves were reintroduced back to to Yellowstone, 246 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.680 right, just look at the east coast where there's an overpopulation of deer and 247 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:10.279 what happened. Yeah, the eastern panther, which is just another name for 248 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.359 mountainline, was hunted to extinction. So you know, we don't even know 249 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:18.319 all the effects of what would happen, but we know from scientific study the 250 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.079 ones we do know are not good, so and they affect our own health. 251 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:25.960 I mean, I come back to the situation of you know that is 252 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.759 cited often by scientists saying, hey, bring back the mountainline to the east 253 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.720 coast. Look at what they also have there that impacts human health. Higher 254 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:38.400 incidences of lime disease, which is tied to deer populations, right, so 255 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.559 it you know, I mean, there's a really even if you don't love 256 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:48.599 mountain lions on the landscape esthetically or as part of our native wildlife heritage, 257 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.839 which to me are good arguments for why they should be there, there's a 258 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.839 tie to our human health as well. We are part of these natural ecosystems 259 00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.000 and they need to be healthy. Yeah, yeah, Okay, help is 260 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.440 sort of on the way. It's a little ways off, but it's one 261 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:08.839 of my I'm so excited about this project, and that's the wallas Annenberg Wildlife 262 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.920 Crossing that we've talked about, So just really quickly remind me of what that 263 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.920 is and when it's going to be open. Yeah, I'm excited as well. 264 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:19.079 I mean, I just keep coming back to you know these mountain lines, 265 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.519 I wish help had been there for them. I hate losing any of 266 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.880 them. But the Wallace Animburg Wildlife Crossing is a project of hope. It 267 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:32.440 is underway. It is on the one oh one freeway in the Gora Hills 268 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.400 and it is under construction. You can look at one on one Wildlife Crossing 269 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:44.440 dot org for the live construction camp. The horizontal structure will likely start being 270 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.920 laid out in mid March, which is really exciting. The support SORR up 271 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:53.079 right now. But this will allow safe passage for mountain lions over the one 272 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:59.079 on one in all wildlife. So I'm excited that we are going to solve 273 00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.000 the biggest road problem probably in the state. But we need to do more. 274 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:08.079 I mean, obviously there are many more roads these wildlife mountain lines and 275 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:14.480 all wild life need to navigate, and you know my work has been to 276 00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.799 get more of these done. Let's make the world a safer place for both 277 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:22.720 wildlife and people. Absolutely well, we thank you for your work, best 278 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.000 Pratt, and also for sharing the information. And yeah, sad week, 279 00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.519 I hate to lose the mountain lions as such majestic creatures, but I'm so 280 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:36.480 thrilled to hear that work is progressing on that wildlife crossing and can't wait for 281 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.599 it to open. Me too. I can't wait, I was saying, 282 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:45.799 to see that first mountain lion calls. Feel good. Thank you so much 283 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.759 for your time. All right, let's get back to some of the stories 284 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.680 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news newsroom. A dry weekend is 285 00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:55.880 going to be followed by another round of rain that's expected to roll in by 286 00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.079 the middle of next week. The large storm in the whole state's going to 287 00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:00.400 get rained. It's going to be a lot like the storm we just had 288 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:06.440 where it first affects northern California, flies down the coast. The entire state 289 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:11.680 is a risk of at least moderate rain and some local heavy rain early early 290 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.559 February. The National Weather Services Alex Tarti says, even if next week's storm 291 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.000 isn't as strong as the last one, there could be issues because the ground 292 00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:26.240 is already saturated. The Mars Ingenuity helicopter has been grounded. VISA Administrator Bill 293 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:30.839 Nelson says on January eighteenth, they received a distress call assorts from the specially 294 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:34.640 designed helicopter during a landing. Apparently a carbon fiber rotor blade hit the surface 295 00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:40.440 of the planet in broke, and what started as a technology demonstration with plans 296 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:45.519 for only up to five flights, has now completed a remarkable seventy two flights 297 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:49.279 on Mars. Ingenuity traveled to the Red planet under the belly of the Mars 298 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:53.799 Rover Perseverance and landed February of twenty twenty one. The drone like helicopter became 299 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:59.759 the first aircraft ever to make a powered controlled flight on another planet. Steve 300 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:04.519 I knew. The United Nations Top Court has told Israel it must take measures 301 00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:10.480 to prevent its forces from committing acts of genocide against Palestinians, but it stop 302 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.720 short of using its power to order a full cease fire of the Israeli military 303 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.440 campaign in the Gaza Strip. It was four years ago today that Kobe Bryant, 304 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.119 his daughter, and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas. 305 00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:26.000 Kobe was forty one, his daughter, Gianna was just thirteen. The 306 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:32.319 Lakers will unveil a Kobe Bryant statue at Crypto dot Com Arena next month. 307 00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:37.279 Cruz will begin moving the Space Shuttle Endeavor across Exposition Park to a new exhibit 308 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.640 at the California Science Center. It will then be lifted up and attached to 309 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.599 an external fuel tank and two solid rocket boosters that have already been put in 310 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.680 place in launch position. The lifting is expected to happen next week, but 311 00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:55.319 the new exhibit won't actually be open until it's complete in a couple of years. 312 00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:57.000 At six oh five, it's handle on the news. A first of 313 00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:02.440 its kind execution has been carried out out in Alabama. It's one of Bill's 314 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:04.279 favorite things to talk about, so I'm sure I'll have a lot to say. 315 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:07.960 At five point fifty, we're going to be checking in with ABC's entertainment 316 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:14.920 guru, Jason Nathansen. But right now it's time to head home. We've 317 00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.759 got the house whister. A whisperer is Dean Sharp. Good morning Dean, 318 00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.079 Good morning Amy. Okay, so Dean, we've been talking for the last 319 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.160 couple of weeks about how to build your dream home and we're still in the 320 00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.519 planning stages. First we kind of set up the parameters for what you can 321 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.559 and can't do, and then you said, get a great designer and design 322 00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:38.640 what you can and can't do. And right now you want to talk about. 323 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:44.000 The next step is to make sure you don't do a couple of things. 324 00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.880 That's true, and that's true, there are probably, as you start 325 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:55.960 your design process three mistakes that are most commonly made in any home plan, 326 00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.839 and they're worth sitting down and having a talk about because as they happen so 327 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:07.079 often, and they are such the wrong things to do, especially at the 328 00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:14.160 beginning. The first one is doing anything to the house that makes things worse. 329 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.960 I know most people are gonna yeah, well, most people will sit 330 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.920 there and say, well, duh, yeah, we're trying to fix things, 331 00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:26.279 we're trying to improve it. But but I but what I mean by 332 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:33.799 that is that there are things going on with the home that probably very very 333 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:40.759 likely this kind of leans towards number two actually, that very likely need some 334 00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:45.000 correcting first before we go on. What we don't want to do is find 335 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:49.799 ourselves just adding on to the wrong that's already been done. I'll give you 336 00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:56.759 an example. You know, what's most common is that, like at a 337 00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:02.680 California ranch house, quite often we'll walk and we'll find that somebody has added 338 00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:07.960 on a room edition onto the back because somebody thought at some point we need 339 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.680 more space. We've got to have you. And you know, that's all 340 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:17.480 well and good the idea, but so often that room edition has made the 341 00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:22.359 previous room, which used to have windows and light coming into it, now 342 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.519 it's in the center of the house. It's got no more natural light in 343 00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:29.680 it, and it's a cave. Yeah. And instead of people taking standing 344 00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:34.599 back and taking a look at the problem of the edition, they just figure 345 00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:37.960 a way of like, well, well, how do we make this addition? 346 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.400 You know, maybe we're going to add something onto it. And so 347 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.000 we got to be really really careful not to make what already has gone wrong 348 00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:49.559 worse. Well, and I could see where that would go onto all kinds 349 00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:55.839 of things, like I know that I've seen additions where you can see it 350 00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:57.480 as an addition too. You go, oh, look they added onto their 351 00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:03.720 house as opposed to like fixing the roof to make a contiguous roofline. You 352 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.880 see the new little bump out of the roof that makes it very apparent that 353 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:14.000 it was an afterthought. Exactly exactly. And by the way, one of 354 00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:18.559 our number one rules for Tina and I when we are designing anything new onto 355 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:23.400 a house, we tell our clients listen, if we cannot create this addition 356 00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:27.640 so that in the end somebody drives by the house and doesn't know that it's 357 00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:32.640 there. Then we don't want to do it. You don't want to go 358 00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:34.200 that direction. When I say it doesn't know that it's there, it's not 359 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:37.880 that you don't notice that part of the house that we've added on. But 360 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.000 nobody, nobody should ever look at a room edition and say, hey, 361 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:47.759 I see you've added onto the house. It simply you should simply look at 362 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:52.000 the house, and the house looks like the house. The house looks like 363 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:57.400 it was built that way intended from the beginning. Otherwise something about that addition 364 00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:03.759 has gone wrong. Okay, and then, and what's the other big mistake? 365 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:11.480 Not holding the new design accountable to the fundamentals. And I know I 366 00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.359 haven't told anybody what the fundamentals are yet. Well, there are a series 367 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:19.920 of design fundamentals that we are actually going to be going into in the next 368 00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:27.200 few weeks. Okay, things like light and flow and lighting, and you 369 00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:32.480 know, there are some basic basic rules that everybody needs to know when it 370 00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:37.160 comes to designing a space. And again, this would this harkens back to 371 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:42.119 the to that room edition that got just tacked onto the back of the house. 372 00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:48.599 That violates three or four major fundamentals, and that's why it's a bad 373 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:56.359 ad, okay, And so not holding the new design ideas accountable to the 374 00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.599 fundamentals, somebody's like, well, listen, I need more. I really 375 00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:02.799 want to island in my kitchen. That's what I've always wanted in my entire 376 00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:06.000 life. I get it. I so get it. But by putting the 377 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:10.920 island in, you're putting less than let's say, three feet of walk space 378 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.400 in between the island and the cabinet tree around it. It's a violation of 379 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.240 the fundamentals. You don't want to do that. A bad idea is one 380 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:21.920 thing, but when it comes to life in the real world, now you 381 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:30.160 have a problem. And that's why design step two becomes so important. Absolutely, 382 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.519 that's why we sign matters most. And so you're going to be talking 383 00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:38.519 about this all weekend and I'm looking forward to it. And because you always 384 00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:45.400 have such great advice and make all these really sometimes abstract things make sense and 385 00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:49.440 we appreciate that a ton. So that's happening. I know it. Yeah, 386 00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:52.960 go ahead, no, I said, I know some of these things 387 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.519 are a little bit tricky to get through. Our head. But that's what 388 00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.200 we do. We spend time on the show and we make them as concrete 389 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.160 and as tangible and usable for you as possible. Perfect. And you can 390 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:08.960 hear Dean on Home with Dean Sharp right here on KFI. It's Saturday from 391 00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:12.440 six to eight am and then Sunday from nine to noon, and you can 392 00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:17.240 also follow Dean at Home with Dean. Thank you so much for your time 393 00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:22.240 and your smarts today. Thanks Amy talk sit all right, let's get back 394 00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:23.839 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 395 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:29.680 Zag After has given its support to Alec Baldwin, who was indicted again on 396 00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:34.519 charges of involuntary manslaughter for the onset shooting that killed a cinematographer. The union 397 00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:40.319 says an actor's job is not to be a firearms or weapons expert, and 398 00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:45.720 the charges are based on an incorrect assessment of the actor's duties. Prosecutors argue 399 00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.519 new tests show the gun had to have been fired by the pull of a 400 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:53.400 trigger, though Baldwin's lawyers say he didn't pull the trigger. A gang member 401 00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:57.480 in la has been charged with fatally shooting three people in the Harbor area and 402 00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:03.079 hurting five others allegedly killed two people while sitting in their car in Harbor City 403 00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:06.319 last October. Their baby, strapped in his car seat, was also shot 404 00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:10.720 but survived. LA County Deputy DA Bobby Gray says the DA's office is looking 405 00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:14.519 forward to prosecuting the case with respect to this suspect. In this case, 406 00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:19.359 we filed three counts of murder and we also filed five counts of attempt at 407 00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:22.720 murder. Police eight weeks after the first shooting, the gang member shot several 408 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.319 people in San Pedro, killing a seventeen year old, and then in October 409 00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:30.680 attempted to kill a man in Wilmington. Detective said yesterday they believe the motive 410 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:36.559 was gang related. Chris Sadler kf I News tickets for the forty nine Ers 411 00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:41.759 NFC Championship game this Sunday are going for a premium. The cheapest tickets in 412 00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.960 the nosebleed section of Levi Stadium and Santa Clara are going for four to five 413 00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.880 hundred dollars, and that's before all the fees, the parking, and the 414 00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.559 food. Julio Morales will be there, he says, the price tag is 415 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:55.680 worth it. I just want to see some SAgs some defense.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nettan Yahu says Israel will continue to 420 00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:19.480 do what is necessary to defend itself. His comments come after a ruling from 421 00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:23.480 the top UN court that criticized Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. 422 00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:29.920 The International Court of Justice stopped short of ordering a cease fire in Gaza, 423 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:34.799 but instead said it must do everything it can to reduce the number of deaths 424 00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:39.160 and let aid in. Alaska Airlines and United have been cleared to allow their 425 00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:44.440 fleets of Boeing seven thirty seven Max nine planes to take off once they've been 426 00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:49.319 fully inspected. Alaska Max nine's could be back in the air today. United 427 00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:53.359 is expected to start flying them this weekend. The Budweiser Clydesdale's are coming back 428 00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:58.200 to the Super Bowl. Anheuser Busch has put out a fifteen second teaser video 429 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:02.960 of the Budweiser Draft Wars commercial the beer company stopped running ads during the Super 430 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.599 Bowl because of the pandemic. That was the first time in nearly forty years 431 00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:12.880 that we didn't see the Clydesdales for the Big Game. I personally am very 432 00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.920 excited to see them back. We're just minutes away from Handle. On the 433 00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:19.519 news this morning, a guy who shot and killed a six year old boy 434 00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:23.680 in the backseat of car in Orange County has been convicted of second degree murder. 435 00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:30.599 Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jason Nathanson. Jason, so many 436 00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:32.640 things are coming out, and I know, as always, we're never going 437 00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:36.519 to have time to get to all of them. So I have an idea. 438 00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:42.039 Okay, let's hit your top two because I also want to talk a 439 00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.960 little Oscars with you. Sure. Well, look, I can only tell 440 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:47.960 you what's coming out. I can't tell you, you know, I have 441 00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:52.160 no control over whether or not it's good. So oh wait, oh, 442 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.160 so you haven't seen you haven't seen some of these No, No, I've 443 00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:58.839 seen them all. I'm just telling you, Well, Okay, you said 444 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:01.720 top two. There's not necessarily going to be a top two because they're not. 445 00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:06.440 There aren't two good ones here, but there is one So I'll tell 446 00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:09.519 you about the one that's good. That's Masters of the Air on Apple TV 447 00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:14.480 Plus. If you remember Band of Brothers and the Pacific, Uh, those 448 00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:20.079 World War two miniseries on HBO a few years ago, produced by Tom Hanks 449 00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:23.760 and Steven Spielberg. This is the third now, so you know, I 450 00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:27.960 don't know if they were it was their intention necessarily to make a trilogy, 451 00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:30.519 but and this was going to be on HBO, and then it took so 452 00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:35.039 long to make. Eventually it just ended up on Apple TV Plus. And 453 00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:37.320 they spent a lot of money on it, and you can tell because it 454 00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:43.800 looks really good. And the other two they all focus on different sects of 455 00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:49.159 the armed forces. And this one focuses on the Air Force, which was 456 00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:54.639 flying missions from the UK over Germany during World War Two and at the beginning 457 00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:59.519 when they first started their bombing runs. This focus is on the the one 458 00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:05.039 hundred Air Force, which became known as the Bloody hundredth because seventy seven percent 459 00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:08.000 of these guys were either killed, shot down or became POW's. Oh my 460 00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:13.360 god, Yeah, the numbers were not on their side. So going up, 461 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:15.920 these guys knew that, you know, every mission could have been their 462 00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:20.559 last and they had to fly twenty five missions in order to be able to 463 00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:23.840 go home, and the you know, the odds against flying twenty five missions 464 00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:30.599 successfully were astronomical, So it focuses on them and it really puts you in 465 00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:35.400 the cockpit with these guys. One of the reasons I think the last one, 466 00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:38.360 the Pacific, came out in twenty ten maybe, and it's been you 467 00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:42.079 know, fourteen years at this point. One of the reasons is they wanted 468 00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.480 to make sure they had the technology right in order to get this to make 469 00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:50.199 it look really good, because doing the Air Force stuff and making it feel 470 00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:53.079 like it's not cgi is tough, and they really did do a good job 471 00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:55.920 of that. You do feel like you're in there. One of the problems 472 00:35:55.920 --> 00:35:59.119 with it, though, is the fact that, you know, they focus 473 00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:04.599 on this big sprawl and cast and when you're in a plane and everybody has 474 00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:07.679 masks on, it's kind of tough to tell who's who. You know, 475 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:09.559 yeah, and there's so many people that you have to keep track of it, 476 00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:12.840 and then you have to learn their names real quick, so that's a 477 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:17.679 little bit tough. But overall I found it really compelling. This stars Austin 478 00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:24.840 Butler and Barry Kyogan and Callum Turner three actors who have become pretty big names 479 00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:28.519 over the past couple of years. And I think they made this before, 480 00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:31.280 like Austin Butler, I think made this before Elvis, so he wasn't. 481 00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:36.960 They weren't big names yet when they were making this, and they're all very 482 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:40.280 good. So I like this. I watched all nine episodes. As we've 483 00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:45.440 talked before, I don't have to watch all nine, and I usually don't. 484 00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:47.320 I don't have time to watch every episode of everything that they give us. 485 00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:51.920 But this was good enough that I wanted to binge the whole thing. 486 00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:54.840 Okay, well that's I think that's a glowing recommendation from you. And yes, 487 00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:59.039 so you. Tom Hanks is involved, and then I started thinking. 488 00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:02.880 I was like, gosh, she's war movies just must be a passion project 489 00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:06.960 for him because he's done so many of them. Yeah, telling these stories 490 00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:10.320 of these guys is really something that he and Steven Spielberg, the two of 491 00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:15.960 them have really put a lot of their weight behind over the past twenty years 492 00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:19.639 or so. It's something that they feel is really important. And also, 493 00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:24.239 as we get to you know, the last of the guys and women who 494 00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:30.800 were a part of this war. You know, we're losing that generation and 495 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.920 you know their stories. I was talking to Gary Getzman, who's one of 496 00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:38.079 the producers with Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks on this, and he said some 497 00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:44.719 of the studios he went to, the younger people there weren't sure what war 498 00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:49.440 Hitler was from that he had to tell them, Yeah, it's World War 499 00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:52.519 Two, you know. So a lot of the history is being lost. 500 00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:58.960 And you know, I've ran into that recently with David o'yello, who did 501 00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:01.320 another series and he played Martin Luther King, and he said the kids were 502 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:06.400 telling it they didn't know who Martin Luther King was. So you know that 503 00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:08.760 that's one of the reasons it's important to keep telling these stories. And it 504 00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:13.400 seems like a lot of these guys go back to this over and over again, 505 00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:15.920 but you know it's been a while. There's a new generation and they 506 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:21.920 haven't seen or heard these stories. All right, So then we'll keep our 507 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:23.599 eye out for Masters of the Year. I was just looking for a good 508 00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:28.199 binge, So thank you, Jason. I'll be diving in with so out 509 00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:30.239 today. Oh okay, oh, and then they'll do one a week and 510 00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:31.400 then they'll do one a week. Correct. Okay, so I want to 511 00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:39.400 switch gears over to Oscars real quick. So any big surprise nominations surprise nominations, 512 00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:44.719 I mean there was more surprise in the lack of nominations for certain things 513 00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:49.159 for sure. When it came to the actual nominations, it went pretty much 514 00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:54.000 as expected. I would say, probably Anette Benning getting a nomination for Naiad 515 00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:58.440 for Best Actress. I haven't seen that yet, and I haven't seen it 516 00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:02.719 either. Jody Foster also getting a nomination for Naiad as well. That movie 517 00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:06.320 was you know, it wasn't one of those that was getting a whole lot 518 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:10.039 of nominations or buzz or talk. So you know, again, a lot 519 00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:15.599 of this is about how good your campaign is. And so a movie like 520 00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:19.480 say Anatomy of a Fall, they've got a really good campaign because they got 521 00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:23.199 a lot of OSCA nominations for a you know, a foreign film that is 522 00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:30.079 really kind of a quiet courtroom drama. I don't know that that necessarily deserves 523 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.599 all the stuff that it's getting, but it's part of the conversation. So, 524 00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:36.880 you know, good for them. And then when you have some of 525 00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.280 those that do get in. Some people aren't going to get in because they're 526 00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:44.920 just limited amount of slots. And that's what happened with Barbie and Margot Robbie 527 00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:47.320 not getting in for Best Actress. Do you think that Margot Robbie deserved a 528 00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:52.159 nomination for Best Actress? Watching the show I showed so here, here's the 529 00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:57.719 thing. I hate the word snub and I don't think anybody deserves anything right. 530 00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:00.920 This is all subjective, So this is all just what group of people 531 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:07.119 say should happen. So I don't like those words that said. I feel 532 00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:10.840 like if she were given a nomination, I would have absolutely no problem with 533 00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:14.239 that. Oh okay, I mean I think she did a good job. 534 00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:20.239 I don't know that. I think it was here. And here's the thing 535 00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:23.480 with that, and it's a tricky thing. And that's why I think she 536 00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:29.800 does so well is because you don't notice how well she does because a lot 537 00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:31.719 of other people in that role, I think it would not have worked. 538 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:37.800 It worked I think because of her, and she's an executive producer on it 539 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:40.960 and Greta Gerwig, who's the director, didn't get a nomination for Best Director, 540 00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:45.079 and I would have been happy had she gotten it because you know, 541 00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:51.280 a this was the highest grossing film of last year. It was critically acclaimed, 542 00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:54.679 it got people into the movies. This is what the Academy of Motion 543 00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:59.920 Picture Arts and Sciences should be celebrating. Now, the case could be made, 544 00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:02.039 but they did celebrate it with eight nominations, including one for Best Picture. 545 00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:05.480 And you know, there was a lot of talk about, oh, 546 00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:08.199 Ryan Gosling got the nomination, that got Ken got the nomination, and Barbie 547 00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:12.440 didn't. That's what the movie's about, is the women not being recognized. 548 00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:15.960 And I get that that's a narrative that people want to say, but then 549 00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:17.960 you also have to look at the fact that America Ferrera got a nomination. 550 00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:21.480 I thought she did a good job, though. I mean I think, 551 00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:25.800 like, if you've compared the just looking at it, I think she really 552 00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:31.320 kind of encapsulated or whatever the role that she had. I think she was 553 00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:35.480 more powerful to me. And I would say she was the least interesting part 554 00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:39.400 of that movie, except for the one monologue that she had ye that got 555 00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:43.719 her the nomination, And I understand that, but the rest of it, 556 00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:46.639 you know, when her, when her character was on screen, it was 557 00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:51.199 more interested in the Barbie of it all. And the ken of it all. 558 00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:57.360 So you know, again this is all subjective stuff, but I understand 559 00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:00.559 where some of the outrage coming from. But also, you know, like 560 00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:06.239 I talked about last week, this movie Origin from Avid DuVernay and Angreen new 561 00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:09.480 Ellison's performance should have been in the conversation and she should have been nominated. 562 00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:14.679 Greta Lee from Past Lives should have been nominated. So you know, a 563 00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:17.599 lot of people and a lot of movies missed out. I'll still be watching 564 00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:21.559 the Oscars though, sure. All right, Jason Nathanson, I love that 565 00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:24.400 we can disagree. Yes, absolutely, Thank you so much, and I 566 00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:28.239 look forward to talking to you again next week. Take it okay. Before 567 00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:31.239 we head out, I gotta tell you yesterday we talked to ABC's Tom Rivers 568 00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:35.159 about that big controversy over whether to put salt in your tea. It's a 569 00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:37.199 big thing in the UK apparently, Well, we're not really tea people, 570 00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:39.800 so a lot of us do drink coffee. So I thought, oh, 571 00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:45.679 let's try that, and knowing from Neil Sevader that salt is a flavor enhancer, 572 00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:50.960 not a flavor changer, a bunch of us put a little salt in 573 00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:53.440 our coffee. And I think the consensus of it was it was good. 574 00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:59.840 It did it took a little bit of the bitter edge away and just enhanced 575 00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:02.280 the flavor a little bit. So just a schmidge, but maybe give it 576 00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:07.400 a try in your morning coffee this morning.
