But I think 13 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.280 a lot of people are losing their minds, and it's not only the people 14 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:15.959 who are going to the show. We'll talk about that a little bit. 15 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.280 So let's start with some of the stories coming out of the twenty four hour 16 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.159 KFI news room. So my first question of the day is, what are 17 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.959 people thinking. A man in Orange County has been charged with throwing rocks and 18 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:34.400 passing vehicles on the fifty five Freeway near Tustin. The guy's facing seven felony 19 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.799 charges, including assault with a deadly weapon and throwing a projectile projectile with the 20 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.599 intent to do serious bodily harm. He's pleaded not guilty and is due back 21 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:49.079 in court next week. A person on a metro train has been stabbed to 22 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.000 death during a fight at a station in Hawthorne. The accused killer was arrested 23 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.120 last night. He's in the hospital. Investigators say he was shot in the 24 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:02.040 upper body by the man who was being stabbed. Just getting word out of 25 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.159 South Korea that thirteen people have been injured after a man rammed his car into 26 00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:13.199 a sidewalk, got out and started stabbing pedestrians. We'll get more information about 27 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.879 that as it starts coming in. A plane with two men aboard has crashed 28 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.120 at the Van Nuys Airport. LA City Fire Captain Eric Scott says it's not 29 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.319 known why the plane went down. He says yesterday morning just after ten thirty 30 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.319 nine, call came in of a helicopter crash, but when Cruz got there, 31 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.400 they saw a single engine plane on fire. It's not clear if it 32 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.639 was taking off or landing. They did have a very high impact what was 33 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:40.159 described as nose first into the ground, so that likely quickly caused the death 34 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.120 of both of the occupant. Airport police say the planes registered to the airport 35 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:50.000 and was stored in a hangar on site. Steve Gregory Caofine News the Writers 36 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.680 Guild is expected to meet with major production companies tomorrow to try to reopen contract 37 00:02:53.719 --> 00:03:00.879 negotiations. The owner of the Sandy Rose Floral prop house, Corey l says 38 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.039 her business and others have lost thousand because of the strike. It's very far 39 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.280 reaching, and I went almost hazarded guests and say that almost anybody who's listening 40 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:13.719 to this in Los Angeles as neighbors who are affected by this. The WGA 41 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.439 said in an email to its members. The negotiating team is set to meet 42 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:22.479 with production companies tomorrow. Writers have been on strikes since May second, and 43 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:27.479 then, of course the one hundred and sixty thousand members of stag AFTRA also 44 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:34.840 went on strike. Shortly after that, investigators have extradited and accused white supremacist 45 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.319 group later from Romania to California. Robert Rundo from Huntington Beach is accused of 46 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.319 being a founding member of the Rise Above movement. Prosecutors say the group attack 47 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.960 people at political rallies in cities, including Samerdordino in Berkeley in twenty seventeen. 48 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.159 The group allegedly posted photos and videos of violence as a recruitment tactic. Charges 49 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.520 against Rundo and two others were dropped in twenty nineteen, however reinstated by an 50 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.719 appellate court. In twenty twenty one, Rundo landed at the Hollywood Burbank Airport 51 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:05.639 Tuesday night Blake trolley k if I Knews. A man who says he was 52 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:11.280 attacked by La County Probation officers as a miner has filed a federal lawsuit. 53 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.680 The lawsuit alleges the County of LA's probation officers, including its chief, withheld 54 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.199 evidence from the DA's office to avoid criminal charges. Attorney Michael Correo says a 55 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:24.439 video of the officers beating down his then seventeen year old client was uncovered, 56 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.920 if not this would have been swept under the rug and my client would just 57 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.839 have to deal with these emotional and physical injuries, Carreo said yesterday. One 58 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.680 officer was charged last week with one count of assault under the color of authority. 59 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.319 He says his client was asking for more food when he was attacked by 60 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:50.199 the officers. Chris Adler kf I News. Someone's thinking about dying? Can 61 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:55.519 I Barbies? I'm definitely not thinking about death anymore. Okay, that was 62 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.720 one of the funniest lines in the movie Barbie. You know she thought about 63 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:04.000 dying. But barb Bee's movie has inspired that cultural and fashion trend called Barbie 64 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:10.759 Core, and apparently it's going right into the afterlife. Instead of Barbie's dreamhouse, 65 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.160 now you can get Barbie's dream coffin. Funeral homes have started offering hot 66 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.720 pink Barbie themed coffins for fans who hope to take their love for the Mattel 67 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:24.439 doll to the grave. A promotional video for one of the caskets says, 68 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.720 this coffin, with its striking, bright pink color, represents the spark and 69 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.920 energy of those unforgettable moments they lived. Makes me think of death and plastic. 70 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.839 It's fantastic. Okay, I won't saying anymore. I promise coming up 71 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.600 at a minute, Steve Portney Portnoy with ABC's gonna let us know how DC 72 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.279 is getting ready for Donald Trump's arraignment and whether a scare at the Capitol yesterday 73 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.439 was tied to the former president. It is five h seven on your wake 74 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:55.199 up call. Let's say good morning to ABC's Steve Portnoy. Steve, former 75 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.839 President Trump has another day in court today. Is he actually being booked or 76 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.680 is this a court appearance? Well, I guess you could say both. 77 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:08.399 Is true. He'll be processed and that is a booking process. He will 78 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:12.279 be fingerprinted, he will not be handcuffed, there will not be a mug 79 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.319 shot taken. But look, it's all a matter of semantics. I mean, 80 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.319 the bottom line is he's been summoned to appear before a US District Court 81 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:24.879 magistrate judge to hear charges that he conspired to upset and upend American democracy. 82 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.399 So yes, there'll be a proceeding before that where he has taken into custody 83 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.879 in some way, although the law enforce would prefer that we not call it 84 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:39.360 an arrest because that has a connotation. Look, this is a serious charge. 85 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.959 It's happening in the same federal courthouse where the Watergate conspirators were tried, 86 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.920 and it is the argument that the Trump attorneys will make. They'll make a 87 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:53.759 couple of arguments. One that the former president is being criminalized for his free 88 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:58.399 speech, for his political views, for the political statements. The prosecution has 89 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.879 an answer to that. They'll laws say that he was following the advice of 90 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:05.879 attorneys who had novel ideas of the bounds of the law and the Constitution, 91 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:12.040 and he was simply pursuing those ideas within the within the law. But the 92 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.439 prosecution will say, no, what he did went beyond the law, and 93 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.720 he inspired the attack on the Capitol, and he should be held criminally responsible. 94 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:23.600 That It'll be for a jury to weigh that, but it'll be It'll 95 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.439 all start today with the arraignment. The former president will fly here to Washington 96 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:31.079 from Bedminster, New Jersey. He will issue into a plea. The conditions 97 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.000 for release will be set by the magistrate judge, and then former President Trump 98 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.680 will be likely released on his own recognizance and sent back to New Jersey, 99 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:44.639 where he will be free to go for the moment, not exactly a flight 100 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.319 risk, right, So security preparations for this, I've seen a lot of 101 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:55.120 pictures of like the k rails going up around the courthouse, well, bike 102 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.879 racks is what we'd call them here, and they look it's a low level 103 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:05.240 of security precaution. The United States Secret Service, the Capitol Police, the 104 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.360 DC Police, the Park Police, the Federal Protective Service. There probably other 105 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:15.680 agencies involved in this, but you have a panoply of law enforcement that is 106 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.120 at the table here. They say that they're going to provide the utmost security. 107 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.399 And during his when he was arraigned last time, I think they had 108 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.199 put up a lot of security precautions, but there really wasn't a lot of 109 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.079 problems, right, and I don't expect problems today either. Okay, so 110 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.399 they're just doing this just to be safe. But there was something that happened 111 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.759 at the Capitol yesterday. What was that, Well, somebody phoned in a 112 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.279 nine one one threat. The threat on the phone was that there was a 113 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.799 heavily armed man at the centered office buildings, which led to a widespread search, 114 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:52.320 a shelter in place order that lasted longer than the search took. In 115 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.720 the end, nothing was found. It was described as a bogus call. 116 00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.320 Okay, so just after the whole January sixth thing, I think people are 117 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.919 just taking extra precautions to make sure that everybody stays safe. Well. Sure, 118 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.000 but also a great deal of attention is focused on it, and security 119 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:16.039 officials believe they have an outsized responsibility to take everything with the utmost seriousness. 120 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.960 So when a threat comes in, they're going to take it seriously. Okay, 121 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.879 Steve Portnoy, thank you so much for checking in with us this morning. 122 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.080 Sure we're gonna be talking to you about this many more times. You 123 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.519 bet. All right, have a great day. Let's get back to some 124 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.399 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom, getting back 125 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:37.120 to the what are people thinking thing? A man detained in downtown LA allegedly 126 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.799 used a stolen forklift to crash into several buildings, including the Apple store in 127 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.120 the Tower Theater on Broadway. Video and social media showed the forklift on the 128 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.080 sidewalk in front of the theater with its horn blaring. A witness told police 129 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.840 they saw a man take the forklift from a work site. There are no 130 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.559 reports that anyone actually got hurt. Here's another one, A man who allegedly 131 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.080 attacked a flight attendant on a Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta to New Orleans has 132 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.559 been arrested thanks to passengers on board. Sheriff's office in Louisiana says the thirty 133 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.960 nine year old attacked a flight attendant with a makeshift weapon, having said what 134 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.480 it is as the flight was landing in New Orleans yesterday afternoon. Eight people 135 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.879 on board tackled them held them down until law enforcement arrived. A plan to 136 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.600 expand the La Zoo has moved forward following an unanimous vote by city council. 137 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.639 The decision yesterday approves the expansion of animal enclosures, facilities, and conservation efforts. 138 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.519 The proposal would develop sixteen acres of hillside near the zoo in Griffith Park, 139 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.639 which some critics say would be detrimental to wildlife. Council members say the 140 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.600 zoo has been receptive to feedback and is making adjustments to its plan. A 141 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:52.120 jury in Pittsburgh has unanimously recommended death for the convicted Tree of Life synagogue shooter 142 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.200 Robert Bowers. Was found guilty in June of killing eleven people in twenty eighteen. 143 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.879 Most were elderly or disabled. Aaron Katurski says, the same jury recommended 144 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.759 the death sentence. Even the judge appeared almost on the verge of tears as 145 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.919 he was thanking the jury for their service because it was such an emotional case. 146 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:16.919 Formal sentencing is expected today. A radiologist in Oregon who was knocked unconscious 147 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.879 when a guy randomly threw a metal bottle at her face, says she waited 148 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:26.679 more than twenty minutes without a police response. Mary Constantino says, it feels 149 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.320 like citizens in Portland are totally on their own. I do not hold the 150 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.240 police accountable for this at all. I hold our city accountable for defunding. 151 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.639 The police. Were in this situation where we don't have enough police force to 152 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:45.000 protect our citizens, and we did this to ourselves. Police say when her 153 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.039 came in on July twenty eighth, officers were actively on twenty six other calls 154 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.440 around the city. They say there were just no free officers and there were 155 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.120 still fifty two calls holding waiting for a police response about he's been found near 156 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:05.320 the floating border wall along the part of the Rio Grand River in Texas. 157 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:11.080 The barrier of buoys was installed last month by officials in Texas to keep migrants 158 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.840 from illegally crossing the border. The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit over 159 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:20.039 the barrier, calling it dangerous and unlawful. Texas Governor Greg Abbott says the 160 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:26.080 border wall is protected by the Constitution. A Latino football player has sued Northwestern 161 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.559 University, claiming upperclassmen shaved Cinco de Mayo on the back of his head as 162 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:35.039 the entire football team watched. Ramon Diaz says he was just seventeen when he 163 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.559 was mocked and ridiculed by teammates. He says he was the only Latino offensive 164 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.960 lindman on the team at a time when the athletic department's culture allowed racist and 165 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:50.519 sexual abuse to thrive. A new index reveals the world's biggest stoners. If 166 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.399 you had to guess which city in the world hoovers up the most marijuana, 167 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.399 maybe you'd say Amsterdam careful of the chocolates there, or maybe Kingston, Jamaica 168 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.399 because reggae. Nope, New York. The twenty twenty three Cannabis Global Price 169 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.039 Index says the city blazes through sixty two metric tons of weed a year, 170 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.360 seven tons more than Sydney.

Here are some of the stories coming out 182 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.200 of the KFI twenty four newsroom. Former President Trump said to be arraigned this 183 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:07.120 afternoon in DC on four counts related to his alleged efforts to overturn the results 184 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.919 of the twenty twenty election. A man's been stabbed to death on Metro's C 185 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.240 line in Hawthorne. A person who was shot has been arrested. Florida Republican 186 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:22.919 governor and presidential candidate Ronda Santis says he will debate Democratic California Governor Newsom. 187 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.399 As far as we know, Newsom's not actually running for anything, but I 188 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.320 would watch that one for sure. At five thirty five, we have five 189 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:37.879 thirty eight dot COM's Nathaniel Rakitch. It's gonna be talking about RFK and why 190 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.039 the Republicans seem to really like him, of course he's a Democrat. At 191 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:45.559 six oh five, it's handled on the news. The US credit rating has 192 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:50.240 been downgraded and stocks went down in response. Okay, but right now we're 193 00:14:50.240 --> 00:15:13.080 gonna do a little something called catchy Little Tune. Right, Okay. So 194 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.399 I'm Amy King and I'm on it. So what am I on? I'm 195 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:22.440 on like TV shows, streaming shows, movies, documentaries, things that are 196 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:28.799 on all of the streaming services that there are so many, Like I always 197 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.919 wonder how am I going to figure out what I'm going to watch? And 198 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.120 so a lot of times I ask my friends, what are you watching? 199 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.879 What what's good, what's bad, and that kind of thing. So, 200 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.960 being a well a self book proclaimed couch potato, I thought I will spend 201 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.600 my time productively watching shows and hopefully be able to direct you to some good 202 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.480 shows. So every once in a while we'll find out what I'm on. 203 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.360 Today, I'm on the Beanie Bubble. It's a new movie that's on Apple 204 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:03.159 TV just I think it came out last week, and it's the story about 205 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.360 Beanie babies. It is based on a true story, but it's just based 206 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.399 on that. And mo Kelly and I have had this conversation several times about 207 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.879 when a movie is based on something, it doesn't mean it's a true story. 208 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.120 There are elements of truth in the story, but then Hollywood takes creative 209 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:26.279 license with it. So this is the story of how Beanie babies were born. 210 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:33.080 It stars Elizabeth Banks. She plays Robbie, Zach Gallafanakas who plays Tie 211 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:38.080 who is the creator of Beanie babies, and then Sarah Snook is also in 212 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:44.799 it. She most recently was seen in Succession. She plays Sheila, and 213 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.799 there's also another character and I don't remember the actress's name, she plays Maya. 214 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.879 But these three women all have relationships in some way or another with Ti, 215 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:59.720 played by Zach Gallafanachas, and it's the journey that Ty and these women 216 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:06.079 in his life take as beanie babies become a sensation, and how the advent 217 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:11.160 of the Internet contributes to the beanie baby's success, because beanie babies became a 218 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.799 thing right about the time eBay hit in the early nineties, So they didn't 219 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:21.960 know that when they sold the beanie babies and they became really popular, that 220 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.559 people would start reselling them. And it was just it was a fascinating story 221 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.559 to see because I mean, they're these little stuffed animals that are beanie because 222 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.920 they're like little bean bags, and I mean, I've given them to my 223 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:40.359 best friends kids, and I probably have had a beanie baby, although I 224 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:44.920 never quite understood the craze of it. But I also knew a woman who 225 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:51.359 just was like this closet beanie baby collector and she had trunks full of them, 226 00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:55.519 and apparently that was a really, really common thing. So this show 227 00:17:55.640 --> 00:18:00.119 is really interesting. It's not an edge of your seat show, but it 228 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.920 is really good. It's not as good as I would say, Air, 229 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.759 which is another based on a true story the story of how they got Michael 230 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.119 Jordan to sign with Nike, and maybe i'll talk about that one. If 231 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.359 you haven't seen that one, that's definitely a great one. But this is 232 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.359 a good watch. So if you just have a couple hours and you're just 233 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:25.119 chilling, I would say that definitely recommend the Beanie Bubble. Again, it's 234 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.119 on Apple TV. And again I'm gonna hopefully from time to time share some 235 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.000 stories with you about different things, different shows. There's some really really good 236 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.680 streaming series out there, and then there's some really bad ones too, and 237 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.440 hopefully I'll save you some time because then you won't go watch them. Okay, 238 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.160 let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 239 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.200 four hour newsroom. Former President Trump is set to be arraigned in DC following 240 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:52.359 his latest indictment tied to the January sixth attack on the US Capitol and efforts 241 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.680 to overturn the twenty twenty presidential election. Law Enforcement says it is prepared for 242 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:02.599 any disturbances as Trump arrives at the court later. Trump is facing four federal 243 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:07.960 charges conspiracy to defraud the US, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction 244 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:12.559 of an attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. Lawyers 245 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:19.279 representing a potential co conspirator from Orange County say former President Trump's indictment is misleading. 246 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:23.680 Next Chapman University professor John Eastman appears to be co conspirator too. Eastman's 247 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:29.920 lawyers say the indictment falsely presents the record, ignoring comments from former Vice President 248 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:36.119 Pence about significant voting irregularities to contrive charges against Trump. The indictment alleges co 249 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:41.799 conspirator to devise the overall strategy to obstruct the twenty twenty election. Eastman's lawyers 250 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.680 say if charges are brought, plead deals will be rejected and Eastman will competently 251 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:51.119 go to trial in Orange County. Corbin Carson k if I News. John 252 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:53.920 Eastman says he still stands by the advice he offered former President Trump leading up 253 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:57.920 to January sixth. He told the John and Ken Show yesterday he doesn't think 254 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.799 he'll be indicted. Did you do something wrong by giving that advice to Trump? 255 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.440 No, absolutely not, and I'll defended if the Trump folks want to 256 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:12.559 call me as a witness. Eastman also went after former Vice President Pence and 257 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:17.480 his involvement in the indictment. He says Pence is running for president on the 258 00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:21.880 argument that he was a so called potted plant during the attack on the Capitol 259 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.480 in twenty twenty one, King tides have caused more flooding in Huntington Beach. 260 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.319 The water started pouring in late last night. The extremely high tides happened a 261 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.160 few times a year. The tides Tuesday night caused flooding in Huntington Harbor, 262 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:40.319 Sunset Beach, and Newport Beach. A Southern California based helicopter company has offered 263 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:45.119 Taylor Swift fans the chance to arrive at SOFI in style. I ex Helicopters, 264 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.039 which is powered by Maverick, will take up to six guests on any 265 00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:53.519 of the six concert nights starting tonight, but there would still be about an 266 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:59.559 hour's walk, so the price includes a ground transportation credit to actually get to 267 00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:02.519 the area. So that's just one of the ways that people are getting to 268 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:07.519 the arena. I know that Taylor swift Mania has kicked into high gear as 269 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:12.559 her first of six shows is tonight. There are extra metro trains, metro 270 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:17.680 buses, and metro shuttles that are going to be going to and from the 271 00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:22.839 area, they're going to be running late to make sure and if you really 272 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.880 want to go see Taylor Swift, maybe Nick, you want to go see 273 00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:29.000 Taylor, I mean, do you want to go? Last minute? I'm 274 00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.240 I'm down. Well, the cheapest seats I found were four fifty on StubHub. 275 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:34.920 Yeah, I mean that blows a lot of what I don't make here, 276 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.119 but yeah, well, and the floor seats I found for is little 277 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:42.599 as sixteen hundred, which I think is I think they're coming down because people 278 00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:45.039 are like, oh gosh, I've got these seats. Still, there's still 279 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:49.319 a lot of seats available. But I did also find on StubHub this morning 280 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:55.279 front row seats. There's two of them, ten two hundred thirty two dollars 281 00:21:55.319 --> 00:22:00.400 a piece dollars. Crazy. I can't even imagine. I know that sounds 282 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.400 amazing. Yeah, it sounds like I think it would be a fun show 283 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.319 to see, just because the Taylor fans are so crazy. In fact that 284 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.960 they had the merch trucks arrived yesterday and there were hundreds and hundreds of people, 285 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.000 maybe thousands, So I'm not exactly sure the number who came out to 286 00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:19.839 go buy Taylor Swift t shirts. There was some crazy specific blue crew neck 287 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:25.160 shirt that all I heard about all day yesterday on TV, on the radio 288 00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.759 here on KFI, on our sister stations on the FM dial. Everybody's looking 289 00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:32.000 for these blue crewneck shirts that you can only get at those merch trucks. 290 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.359 So I can't even imagine what it was like. And just seeing how long 291 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.960 people started queuing up, I guess at one o'clock yesterday morning for the like 292 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.039 the night before, so I guess that would have been what Tuesday night, 293 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.799 Wednesday morning. Yeah, so just wild. I can't even imagine to wrap 294 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.079 my head around that. Absolutely insane. So here's the other thing that's happening 295 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.240 at other venues. Because one of my best friends up in Portland, her 296 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.839 daughters got to go see Taylor Swift in Seattle, so they drove up there, 297 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.599 and Seattle has their stadium like right in the downtown core area. So 298 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:07.400 thousands and thousands of people who did not have tickets came out and gathered outside 299 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.720 the stadium and sang along because apparently you can kind of hear it. It's 300 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:17.720 probably truly muffled like those but so they still they did that, and now 301 00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:19.759 SOFI is saying, hey, hey, don't do that. Here. They're 302 00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:23.839 telling you you can't go and do your dancing in the parking lots. Well 303 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:26.559 see, and I don't know what the Seattle stadium is like, but SOFI 304 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.960 is amazing because they're open. All sides of the Sofi are open. So 305 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.799 all of Inglewood is going to be able to sing along with Taylor no matter 306 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:36.440 where you are, even if you're not right there at the stadium. Okay, 307 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:40.279 Well, officials are saying, don't even think about it, but I'm 308 00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:41.759 guessing that they will, and it's gonna be fun. We'll have talk about 309 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.559 it tomorrow and see how how tonight went. But Taylor swith my Hollywood part 310 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.720 to see like, that's close enough, So maybe that's not a horrible idea. 311 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.119 Maybe put you on at there we go. Okay, man on the 312 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.000 street A sorry, Amy, go ahead, Okay, And again, I'm 313 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:59.839 sure we're going to have more about this because tonight is the first of six 314 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.039 shows that Taylor Swift is doing it so far. Right now, let's say 315 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:07.799 good morning to five thirty eight dot COM's senior elections analyst Nathaniel Rakage. Good 316 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:12.079 morning, Nathaniel, Good morning, how are you. I'm great. Robert 317 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:15.640 F. Kennedy running for president as a Democrat. Of course, Democrats don't 318 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.960 seem too happy about it, but Republicans like him. Yeah, it's it's 319 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:26.440 pretty interesting. Obviously RFKA is a member of the most famous aliens democratic politics. 320 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.920 But yeah, he's gotten the warmest reception among Republicans. So if you 321 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:34.039 look at some of the Republican presidential candidates, some of them have said may 322 00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:38.640 be interested in having him in their administration if they were to win. And 323 00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:44.160 if you look at the polls, RFKA is actually doing better among Republican voters 324 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:47.319 than among Democratic voters. Of course that doesn't matter because if he's running in 325 00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.880 the Democratic primary. But if you look at an average of the polls, 326 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:56.359 he has a plus twenty eight a favorability rating among Republicans, which basically means 327 00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.759 the twenty eight percent more Republicans like him than dislike him, and among Democrats 328 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:04.400 that numbers negative five. So more Democrats dislike RFK than like him. So 329 00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.680 that's obviously a problem if you're running the Democratic primary, And do they dislike 330 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:14.119 him because they like Biden or do they just dislike him in general? They 331 00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:17.000 just dislike him in general. You know, if you see on the Republican 332 00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:19.640 side, you know, a lot of Republicans say they really like Donald Trump, 333 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.319 and they really like La Santis, and they really like the Vecramasami and 334 00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.240 they really like you know, Nicky Haley and stuff like that. So it's 335 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.720 not mutually exclusive. But I'm a Democratic side. Oh yeah, you know, 336 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.480 Democrats really like President Biden. But you know, they say that they 337 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.720 dislike Kennedy. And this is actually different. So earlier in the campaign, 338 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:40.759 when he first jumped in, and I think a lot of people maybe weren't 339 00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:45.799 familiar with some of his more fringe views, like on being like being anti 340 00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.359 vaccine, a lot of Democrats said that they did like him because they saw 341 00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.599 the name Kennedy and they said, I like the Kennedy. But that has 342 00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:55.640 changed over the course of the campaign. His numbers have slipped, okay, 343 00:25:55.680 --> 00:26:00.359 and so his he is vaccinated, though, isn't he. Um. You 344 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.960 know, I'm actually not sure. I thought I heard that he was. 345 00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.319 I'm not one hundred percent sure. I do know that he has he has 346 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:12.640 spread conspiracy theories about vaccines causing autism. Um, you know, things about 347 00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:18.880 COVID nineteen, affecting people of certain races but not others. Um. So, 348 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.519 you know, a lot of those views are obviously, you know, 349 00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:25.400 they're they're not popular among voters of all political stripes, but they tend to 350 00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:27.519 be conspiracy theories that are more common on the rights than the left. So, 351 00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:32.680 um, that is probably why they're particularly turning off Democratic voters. Okay, 352 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.319 And so so you're saying that the Republicans like him, So does that 353 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:44.400 really matter or does it matter like if if you know, depending on who 354 00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:48.359 the Republican candidate is, that maybe Republicans would jump over and vote for a 355 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:53.240 Democrat. Um. Well, you know, I think obviously the odds that 356 00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:56.559 R K will be Biden in the primary are extremely low. You know, 357 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.079 that would be true even if he didn't have some of these leaf. Biden 358 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.279 is an incumbent president. That's obviously a very strong position of being in the 359 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.759 primary. You know, in terms of the Republican you know, it's kind 360 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:11.200 of an interesting what if scenario to say, what if Kennedy were to switch 361 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:14.720 parties and run for president as a Republican. I think he'd do better than 362 00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:17.440 he's doing currently in the Democratic primary. I still don't think you'd win, 363 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:22.440 because obviously Donald Trump is still very popular among Republicans and is kind of the 364 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.440 equivalent of Biden on that side of the aisle. But I do think that, 365 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.480 you know, for example, if one of these Republican presidential candidates were 366 00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.279 to win and put him in their cabinet or something the way that they have 367 00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:34.640 kind of mentioned the possibility of doing, I think that would be received well 368 00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:38.200 by Republican voters. You know, personally, I wish that they would do 369 00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:42.640 that. Didn't Abraham Lincoln did it, and they wrote a book about it. 370 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:48.880 How he puts some people from the other party on his cabinet because he 371 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:55.160 wanted he wanted that viewpoint and to have all voices. Yeah. Actually, 372 00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:59.720 that's a fairly common practice among even modern presidents. So for example, George 373 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:04.200 W. Bush put Democrat Normonetta and his cabinet. Barack Obama put a Republican 374 00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:08.000 Congressan from Illinois and his cabinet. So usually there's one or two slots kind 375 00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.640 of reserved for the other party, just kind of as a bipartisan token of 376 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:17.640 goodwill. Okay, So even if the Republicans like JFK or not JFK sorry 377 00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:22.559 RFK, his chances of doing anything are slim and none. But just because 378 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:25.960 Biden's going to win the nomination, it's kind of a given as long as 379 00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:30.759 he's still in the race. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so we'll see 380 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.839 what Republicans do about it. But it is interesting to see in to hear 381 00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:38.559 a different viewpoint because no one else has stepped up, even though seventy percent 382 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:45.599 of people say they don't want Biden to be president again. Yeah, although 383 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.079 it's important to remember that among Democrats that number is lower. So you know, 384 00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.440 Democrats obviously tend to still be fans of Joe Biden, and about sixty 385 00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.559 percent of them say they'll they'll support him in the primary. So that's why 386 00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:59.400 he's not a Clyde pass to that nomination. But yeah, in the general 387 00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:02.599 election, you know, if it is Trump versus Biden, a lot of 388 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:06.799 large majorities of Americans dislike both of those people, so it's going to be 389 00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:11.400 an interesting election. The lesser of two evils, right, Okay. Nathaniel 390 00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:14.640 Rakitch with five thirty eight dot Com, thanks so much for taking some time 391 00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:17.640 to spend with us this morning. Thank you. All right. A man 392 00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:22.240 found in a barrel in Malibu has been identified The medical examiner identified the body 393 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.759 as thirty two year old Gavanta Murphy, who lived at an apartment in Selmar. 394 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.039 According to a social media post with his name in photo, Murphy was 395 00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:32.480 an aspiring rap artist. It's not clear if he had a job, but 396 00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:36.720 law enforcement records show Murphy had been arrested in twenty seventeen for battery and domestic 397 00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:40.279 violence. Court records show he struck a plea deal and served forty five days 398 00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:44.160 in jail. Murphy's body was found Monday morning by a lifeguard at the Malibu 399 00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:49.440 Lagoon State Park. Steve Gregory KOFYE News human remains discovered in San Bernardino in 400 00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:53.720 nineteen eighty seven have been identified. Play say the body belonged to a fifty 401 00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:57.079 one year old man reported missing in nineteen eighty six. They say there were 402 00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:02.839 no identifying belongings or other investigative leads at the time, so the case went 403 00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:06.880 cold, but a bone fragment was sent out for testing. The family of 404 00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:11.200 the missing man eventually provided DNA and a positive match was confirmed. Detectives say 405 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.880 they don't think there was any crime connected to the death, probably some nice 406 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:21.319 closure for the family. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife say they're 407 00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:25.960 separating after eighteen years of marriage. The couple has three kids. Trudeau's office 408 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.240 says the focus on raising the kids, raising the kids in a safe, 409 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:36.319 loving and collaborative environment. The National Park Service says is going to let people 410 00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:40.880 visit any park in the US for free tomorrow. Park fees are being waived 411 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:45.440 tomorrow in honor of the Great American Outdoors Act, which was passed in twenty 412 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.160 twenty. The passage cleared the way for increased funding, expanded recreation and other 413 00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:53.359 improvements. It's one of five days this year designated as a fee free day. 414 00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:57.279 Say that five times fast. The next one will be September twenty first, 415 00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:03.359 on National Public Lands Day. Right now, let's say good morning to 416 00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:10.039 ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim, here's something fun. Leprosy is surging. It 417 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:11.480 is, yes, at least in parts of the country, and these are 418 00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:17.559 still relatively low numbers. About two hundred thousand new cases of leprosy around the 419 00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:21.119 world every year. Between twenty fifteen and twenty twenty, they had about one 420 00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:26.759 hundred and fifty six here in this country, and the lions share were just 421 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.720 in five states. Florida California, Louisiana, Hawaii, New York, and 422 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:36.640 Texas, but Central Florida really seems to be the place where it has taken 423 00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:40.680 roots. It used to be that the illness would come into an area from 424 00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:45.200 somebody traveling outside or immigrating to this country from someplace where leprosy is still a 425 00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:51.480 problem. But now these cases are troubling in that they are endemic, meaning 426 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:56.440 that they're popping up with in a community itself amy So doctors, especially in 427 00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.519 Central Florida are trying to keep tabs on this. So conditions are ripe in 428 00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:05.480 Central Florida for leprosy, well, they are across the whole southern tier, 429 00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.880 although some cases have turned up in New York State, and so, yeah, 430 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:14.079 the climate is one part of it, certainly, But also leprosy can 431 00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:19.880 be spread by armadillos in case they didn't realize that. Really, yeah, 432 00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:23.400 they don't bite, but if you're in contact with a wild armadillo that's been 433 00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:28.440 infected, you can get infected from that animal. The fluids, the bodily 434 00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:32.680 fluids of these animals can can spread it if they've been infected. But kind 435 00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:37.400 of contact would you have with an armadillo? Hard to say I can't. 436 00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:39.599 And you know, let's say you find one a dead armadillo on the road 437 00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:45.960 and you're responsible for cleaning it up. Maybe yeah, well they eatim in 438 00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:49.960 Brazil or it's a lead. Yeah, it's a delicacy in Brazil armadillo. 439 00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:54.039 Can it be spread that way? Probably not, because assuming you're cooking the 440 00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:59.799 animal, then the bacterias is cooked out of it. But yeah, so 441 00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:02.720 I think the armadillo equations it's sort of interesting, but that's probably not how 442 00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.200 it's been spreading. It's not thought that that's how it's been spreading around Florida. 443 00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.920 But really they're watching very carefully in central Florida. In fact, if 444 00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:14.720 you turn up some other part of the country and you've got weird lesions or 445 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.880 numbness in your hands, or feed or I disorders, doctors likely to ask 446 00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:22.599 you, have you been to Disney late even been to Central Florida, because 447 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.160 that's where they're seeing this illness. Are they seeing it a Disney World? 448 00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:30.039 Do they think that that's that's a spreading location. It's just that just happens 449 00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:34.279 to be in the same exactly that the Orlando area and then parts west over 450 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.960 toward even as far west as the as the Gulf, the Gulf Coast, 451 00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:42.519 the Tampa area, potentially, don't do that to my Disney. So you 452 00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:46.480 mentioned there's like two hundred thousand cases worldwide world War. Who knew. I 453 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:51.759 thought it was like completely eradicated. Where where does it generally live? Well 454 00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:55.960 in Africa, parts of Africa, places in Asia, and you know it's 455 00:33:55.960 --> 00:34:01.759 still isolated to some pockets like that. And you thought it was eradicated because 456 00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:06.960 it's rare in this country, and you've been hearing about it as a biblical 457 00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:08.639 sort of the duds. It's mentioned in both the Old Testament and the New 458 00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:14.840 Testament in a not a very favorable way. And back in the Dark Ages, 459 00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:19.519 people were consigned to living together in colonies because there was no cure. 460 00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:23.760 It was considered highly contagious and there was just really nothing you could do with 461 00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:28.480 people like that. There were colonies in Hawaiian Molochai, for example. Now 462 00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.000 it is treatable. You can be cured. It takes about two years worth 463 00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:37.360 of antibiotics, but you can get over leprosy. Wow, two years. 464 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:43.199 And so we were talking about this on Handle yesterday and Handle was kind of 465 00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:45.960 saying, yeah, and then your hands start falling off and that, because 466 00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.480 I mean, like, do literally can body parts fall off? Can they 467 00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:52.360 rot like that? Really? They can? Yeah, I've seen the pictures. 468 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:57.760 It's not pretty. So if you start feeling a ez weird lesions on 469 00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.079 your skin, or you'd start feeling or items like this, you need to 470 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:05.840 get it taken care of quickly. Chances that it's leprosy very very slim, 471 00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:08.000 but if it is, there can be a problem. Have there been any 472 00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:13.000 cases reported that you know of in California? There have been cases in California 473 00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:17.119 where though I'm not quite sure, but recently. Yes, most of the 474 00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:22.320 cases in fact, from twenty twenty according to the CDC, like we didn't 475 00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:27.840 have enough with COVID, Yeah exactly. Wildfire, the wildfires don't kill leprosy. 476 00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:31.440 But yeah, those states you know these it's actually six dates, including 477 00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:36.159 Texas, New York, Hawaii, Louisiana, California, Florida. So that 478 00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.519 kind of southern tier in New York is sort of the outlier there. It 479 00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:42.280 was tech. Did you just say Texas? No you didn't. I did, 480 00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:44.880 Oh, you did, because that would make sense with the armadillo thing, 481 00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:45.880 right, they did? Yeah, exactly. But I talked with the 482 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.599 station in Orlando this morning. I said, you know, I've been out 483 00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:52.639 there many times for different reasons, haven't seen an armadillo. But they say, 484 00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:55.760 yeah, they've got a lot of armadilla's in central in Central Florida. 485 00:35:55.800 --> 00:36:01.239 Two, they're in Louisiana. Clearly they're in Hawaii. I don't know about 486 00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:06.880 you, guys, you have a have an armadillo issue there. I've never 487 00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:10.960 seen one. And Steve kna is like shaking his head, he says, 488 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:16.800 we don't have those. So how aside from armadillos, how literally is it's 489 00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:21.239 spread Because it's a communicable disease. It is, yeah, from person to 490 00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:23.920 person, you know, bodily fluids one person to the next. But it 491 00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:30.920 takes a long term contact with someone because the bacterium doesn't live for long outside 492 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:36.159 the human body. So you've got to have exposure for some time before it 493 00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:40.360 can infect you. Right, So it's a fragile sort of bacterium. But 494 00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:45.239 once it passes from one person to the other, then it takes holding within 495 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:49.239 that host. Okay, well, and anything you can do to prevent it, 496 00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:57.159 stay out of Central Florida, Okay, don't kiss armadillos. Those are 497 00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:00.480 very very helpful hints. Yeah right, thank you Jim, who knew. 498 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:07.159 All right, have a great day. And as if you know leprosy wasn't 499 00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:12.199 enough. You know, we were talking about how valley fever could hit California 500 00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:19.880 hard this year and the the drought is to blame, but it kind of 501 00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:30.599 has a Last of Us connection. So the dry conditions combined with recent heavy 502 00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:36.639 winter rains could result in increasing valley fever cases in the coming months. According 503 00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:40.119 to the California Department of Public Health, During a drought, the fungus that 504 00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:45.079 causes valley fever is left as less active, but it grows again once the 505 00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:52.480 rains come back. So valley fever known as now I can't say it cosa 506 00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:57.440 damiga caucus or something like that. It's caused by a fungus that grows in 507 00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.320 dirt. People and animals can get sick if they breathe in the dust and 508 00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:04.920 contain the fungus. Remember how the whole the Last of Us They were saying, 509 00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:07.760 what's going to wipe us out is the fungus. I haven't heard anything 510 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:13.280 about turning into zombies or clickers, but we're going to keep an eye on 511 00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:16.599 that one. Okay, So no one told me about this. Krispy Kreme 512 00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:22.320 was giving out free donuts to people who didn't win the lottery. So yesterday 513 00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:28.440 morning, when we heard about the that there was no winner on Tuesday night, 514 00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:32.880 krispy Kreme offered a free blazed donut to customers who didn't match all six 515 00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:39.000 winning numbers, which was everybody. And to claim the consolation prize, you 516 00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:44.119 just had to show up at a Krispy Kreme and show your lotto ticket. 517 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.079 This is nationwide and you would get one donut. They say wealth supplies last. 518 00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.639 When are they running out of donuts? But I want to know if 519 00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:57.559 they're going to do it again because the next Mega Millions drawing is Friday. 520 00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:02.000 It's a one point two five billion, but our odds of winning are one 521 00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:07.599 in more than three million, so that's a lot of free donuts if krispy 522 00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:10.320 Kreme offers it again. So I'm going to be on the lookout. Maybe 523 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:13.679 do a little Google search, because I think it's time for me to have 524 00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:19.920 a free chrispy Creme.
