WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.919 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:13.080 demand on the iHeartRadio app k f I and kost in HT two, Los 3 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:33.280 Angeles and Orange County. Your host, Amy, Okay, it is five 4 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:38.719 o'clock straight up on your wake up call for Friday, January nineteenth. Good 5 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.840 morning, I'm Amy King. You know what that reminds me of? Because 6 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.679 it reminds me of baseball. Baseball's not that far away. Spring training starts 7 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.439 in like a month. Isn't that exciting? Go over here? Oh? 8 00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:55.079 Really? You go to Arizona, Scottsdale or downtown Scottsdale and yeah, we 9 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.159 go to Phoenixville and who do you see? Cone? Well, my wife 10 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.119 is a big Angels fan, Okay and her. Yeah, I haven't been 11 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.359 able to make it to Florida for my astros, so, but we do 12 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.480 go see the Dodgers, even though tickets have gotten expensive and I'm guessing show. 13 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.200 Hey, it's going to be hard to get in this year, except 14 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.879 he's not playing. I don't think it mattered. I don't think people know 15 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.439 that he's going to be sitting in the dugout. He's The autograph is worth 16 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.760 it, you know, we're trying to. We'll see. We'll see. 17 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.120 It's not very baseball like weather this weekend. We've got storms rolling in. 18 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.319 So if you want to do stuff inside, if you have a fireplace, 19 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.480 that would be a good thing this weekend. Curl it by the fireplace as 20 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.719 the rainfalls, or if you except that. We've had those wood burning bands 21 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.760 in effect all week so I think they've run out because hopefully the rain's going 22 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.359 to clear out the air a little bit. But anyway, rain's starting tonight's 23 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.680 gonna last through the weekend, so be prepared for that. Here's what's ahead 24 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.560 on wake Up Call. The Innocence Project has taken up the case of convicted 25 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.640 killer Scott Peterson, who's always said he's innocent of killing his wife, Lacy 26 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:05.239 and their unborn child. The nonprofit group has filed new motions in court citing 27 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.039 newly discovered evidence. Peterson, who's now fifty one, is serving a life 28 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.960 sentence for the murders twenty two years ago. We're going to be talking with 29 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.599 ABC's Alex Stone at five point twenty to find out what that new evidence might 30 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:22.439 be and what's going to happen next. Congress has passed a stopgap funding bill 31 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.280 to prevent a partial government shutdown that would have started at midnight. The bill 32 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.039 is now headed to President Biden to sign. The short term spending bill will 33 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.080 keep the government funded into March. This is the third short term stop gap 34 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.159 spending bill passed since September sawmakers struggle to come up with an agreement to fund 35 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:43.520 the government for you know, a whole year. California will provide an additional 36 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.479 two hundred and fifty million dollars for down payment assistance to first time home buyers 37 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:53.800 through the California Dream for All Loan program. Home Buyers have until April to 38 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.719 apply. A lottery system will then determine who gets the assistance. At six 39 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.560 oh five, it's handle on the news. A guy in California is in 40 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:07.199 trouble for giving kids as young as fourteen gang tattoos. Let's get started with 41 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.639 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Candidates 42 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:15.240 looking to replace La County District Attorney George Gascone have taken the stage to argue 43 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.039 why they are right for the job. Many of Gascon's eleven challengers last night 44 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.319 criticized his leadership. I think we should be attacking George Gascone's policies because it's 45 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:29.919 his policies and his management style that are at fault and that's what needs to 46 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.800 change. Gascone says he'd be honored to be re elected for a second term 47 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:38.319 and would continue his efforts to move forward the office into a twenty first century 48 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.520 prosecution that curs with the victims for our community and thus so in a thoughtful 49 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.280 and intelligent way. He says crime is down over the past year, but 50 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:52.120 more reform is needed. The primary election is March fifth. Trial has begun 51 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.680 for the man accused of killing a six year old on the fifty five freeway 52 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.960 in Orange Sean Roadridge. Senior Deputy DA Dan Feldman says, Marcus Airy, 53 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.439 He's confessed to knowing the danger of firing the one shot that killed Aiden Laos. 54 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:10.479 This is an expression a mister rees of cold indifference of his palous and 55 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.120 total District guard for shooting life OCI Senior Public Defender Randall Bithyune said yesterday the 56 00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:19.199 twenty twenty one shooting was a stupid mistake. He didn't need to kill anybody. 57 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:24.319 He had no malice and he had no intent. Arry's faces forty years 58 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.839 from second degree murder at the OC Superior Court. KORbin Carson kf I News, 59 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.639 the US has carried out another round of air strikes against Huthi rebels in 60 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:38.720 Yemen. Penagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh says US fighter jets destroyed at least 61 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:43.240 fourteen Hoothy missiles at a dozen launch sites. These missiles on launch rails presented 62 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.439 an imminent threat to merchant vessels and US Navy ships in the region. She 63 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.879 says US attacks so far have not stopped the Hoothy missile launches, but that 64 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:55.480 the US is going to keep hitting back as long as those yemen rebels threatened 65 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.800 commercial ships trying to make their way through the Gulf of Aden and the Red 66 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:04.600 s berts Bee's set of lip balms that taste like a back basket of chicken 67 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:10.360 wings has sold out in a day. The company announced its collaboration with Hidden 68 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:15.399 Valley Ranch on Wednesday, before introducing the four new flavors Buffalo, Sauce, 69 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.959 Crunchy, Celery, Fresh, Carrot, and Ranch, and by yesterday the 70 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:25.519 site was wiped clean. Reps say the idea started as an April fool's joke 71 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.319 in twenty twenty two. I think it should have stayed that way. That 72 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:33.959 sounds gross. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Caleb Silver, also the 73 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:40.720 editor in chief of Investopedia. Caleb, AI is already affecting our lives, 74 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.800 and Google, Amazon, and Discord employees are finding that out the hard way. 75 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.439 Yeah. So sadly there are layofs happening in these big tech companies. 76 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.600 Why because they're focusing a lot of their effort, a lot of their investment, 77 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.160 and a lot of their hiring on AI related activities. That's the future 78 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.800 for these companies. So you're seeing some job cuts, not big numbers of 79 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.120 those. Any job cut hurts, especially if you're the one on the other 80 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.959 end of it. But at the margin, you're seeing a couple hundred, 81 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:09.480 a couple thousand job cuts in certain areas. So they're shifting resources to these 82 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.800 areas of the future, and that's AI. So is the money you said 83 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:18.000 they're shifting resources, So the money is being redirected to pay for what it's 84 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.759 going to cost to implement the AI. It's not necessarily because those jobs just 85 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:28.600 aren't needed anymore because of AI or is it a egination? Yeah, the 86 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.439 way tech companies call it. They call it reallocation of resources. So figure 87 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.360 if they don't need as many people in the sales division for a product they're 88 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:39.279 not supporting, but they want to put more emphasis onto the higher paying, 89 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.600 harder to find jobs in AI and some of the engineering jobs. That's exactly 90 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.480 what they're doing. Don't forget. A lot of these big tech companies, 91 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.360 and I'm talking about Amazon salesforce, even the Duolingos of the world and the 92 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.680 alphabets did a lot of hiring over the past few years. They bulked up 93 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.120 a lot, so they employ hundreds of thousands of people in some cases. 94 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.720 So sometimes they're cutting two thousand jobs, maybe seven hundred jobs, or just 95 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.800 reallocating again to the areas where they want to emphasize the future of their business. 96 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.519 That's AI. It's not as if AI took the jobs. It's just 97 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:12.240 that these companies want to make sure they are resourced appropriately so they can succeed 98 00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.000 in that future. Okay, and can we expect to see a lot more 99 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.079 of this as we head down the road. Yeah. We're in the period 100 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.639 of earnings reports for all public companies. This is the first job for the 101 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.199 last quarter of last year, so you're going to hear that as these companies 102 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.000 come out with their report cards, so to speak, on their financial performance, 103 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.759 they'll probably go to announce some job cuts because that's part of the sort 104 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.519 of the resetting for the year. We're probably going to hear a lot of 105 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.759 that over the next quarter or two, but we're not going to see a 106 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.639 huge spike in unemployment. That could be a back half of the year. 107 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.600 And when I'm talking about a huge spike, I'm talking about maybe four percent 108 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.680 four point one percent as an unemployment rate, which is still relatively healthy. 109 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.920 Yeah, but a new study does say that like forty percent of jobs could 110 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:56.839 be lost to AI. And I'm curious as to whether we're seeing trends like 111 00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:01.399 right now you're talking about Google and Amazon, and those are the companies making 112 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.759 the AI or supporting it. But when does it start trickling down, And 113 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:11.639 like what they've said, particularly vulnerable jobs, it would be like insurance people 114 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.480 like work that people aren't going to have to do because the AI will be 115 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.480 able to do it for them. Sure, think about a lot of the 116 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.360 data processing that goes on, a lot of the intake that goes on, 117 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.360 And I'm you just brought up insurance. Insurance is one area. Big sales 118 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.199 companies are another area where they just do a lot of manual work. AI 119 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.959 can replace some of that. But the whole point of a lot of this 120 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.519 is not that AI comes in and robots take your job. You've got to 121 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.519 use AI to enhance the profitability of the company and to enhance what you do 122 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.759 as an employee. So if you can use those skills in what you're doing 123 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.120 to make you more efficient at your job, you're probably going to be Okay. 124 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.399 It's not as if all of a sudden jobs disappear because there's a software 125 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.360 that does it faster and better. It can do a lot of those services 126 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.320 better, and that's why you see these companies reallocating using AI where they were 127 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.840 using human labor and then moving humans to the places where they want to emphasize 128 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.559 the growth of the business. Okay, so AI is here to stay. 129 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.240 I mean, it's when when was the first time that we really heard about 130 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:07.919 chat GPT. It's been like a year a little bit more than a year. 131 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.080 Yeah, it's been a couple of years, a couple of chat GPT. 132 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.879 It's just the manifestation of what AI can do. Right our official intelligence 133 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.440 has been around forever. This is in the sci fi novels of the nineteen 134 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.360 fifties. But the fact that we can use generative AI, that we can 135 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:28.279 use learning large language models, the Internet can use that to sort of correlate 136 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.320 data that's been around for the past couple of years in a commercial way through 137 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.440 chet GPT in other areas. It's just going to grow from here. But 138 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.000 this is the very beginning of using big data sets and using computational power to 139 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.559 cut through big data sets to solve problems or get to solutions a lot faster. 140 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.440 Okay, So as consumers just people listening to the radio station right now, 141 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.360 Like, how are we going to benefit from that? Is that investing 142 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.559 in AI? Sure, you can benefit from investing in AI. I think 143 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.639 about anything that you do that requires a lot of data processing or manual labor, 144 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.639 whether that's your own budget or whether it's in your job, and you're 145 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.639 doing a lot of just taking in a lot of data, making data sets, 146 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.440 so you can actually solve some problems. That's going to help you. 147 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.639 But it's not as if all of a sudden it's going to take over the 148 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.159 driving of your car. It's going to make you breakfast in the morning. 149 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:20.039 It is just a way of using computational power to cut through data to get 150 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.559 to answers right now. And I think a lot of you know, the 151 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.440 media and Guilty as Charged makes a big deal about it. The robots are 152 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.559 coming for your job. They are in some cases and jobs that could probably 153 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.000 use that. That said, this is a technology like the Internet, like 154 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.879 the phone, like the railroad, that enhances productivity, and the companies that 155 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.039 embrace that and use that best are going to succeed, and the employees and 156 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.120 the workers who know how to use it and their jobs are going to succeed 157 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.120 as well. Okay, so you just mentioned something that struck a chord with 158 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.080 me. You said something about budgeting, and I'm so bad at budgeting. 159 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.080 But think of that, like you could say, hey, I need you 160 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.840 to create me a budget, and the AI could do that for you. 161 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.320 Absolutely, you'll do right now. I ask CHEFGBT that it'll put plug in 162 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.320 some variables and they can do that for you. And that's just a personal 163 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.440 budget. But yeah, think about it. If you've ever worked with a 164 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.519 financial advisor, the intake form just that intake of how much do you have, 165 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.759 how much do you want? How much do you think you'll need the 166 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.120 retirement do you have kids? That takes several hours. AI can do that 167 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.360 and provide product solutions right away right now. That's how it's being used in 168 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.440 the financial services industry. Then you look at major data sets that the government 169 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.919 looks at, like the Labored Department when they're trying to find out where the 170 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.120 hiring is and where the strength is in the economy. That takes days to 171 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.759 compute. With AI, you can do that a lot faster. Those are 172 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.639 just two examples, But just think about those types of industries where we're taking 173 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.320 in a lot of information and we need to process it and look at in 174 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:45.159 ways and help us make better decisions. Great use of AI. Super exciting 175 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:50.240 and still a little bit scary. Caleb Silver, thank you so terrifying. 176 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.399 Yes, thank you so much. You can follow Caleb at Caleb Silver. 177 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.240 Thanks so much for the information today. You've got to thank you. Let's 178 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.600 get started with or let's continue some of the stories coming out of the KFI 179 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.879 twenty four hour newsroom. The city of Los Angeles is adding more streets on 180 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.759 the west side to its overnight RV parking ban Venice Church pastor John Palka says 181 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.919 he backs the ban. We routinely have to clean up human waste and toilet 182 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:20.679 paper. There's the stench of urine. This Venice resident says the updated ban 183 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.240 approved this week really doesn't get rid of the problem though. So what's going 184 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.799 to happen is that the areas where they now have bands, those people are 185 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.159 going to leave there and they're going to come to our neighborhood where they know 186 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.840 that they can be. Backers of the updated band say it will lead more 187 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:39.200 people who live in our v's to move into traditional housing. Opponents say housing 188 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.919 is too expensive for a lot of people who live in our v's. Sunday 189 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:48.200 marks the one year anniversary of the shooting in Monterey Park that left eleven people 190 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.759 dead. Monterey Park Police Chief Scott we says he in the department learned a 191 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.600 lot from that tragic night for us. It was a growing experience for the 192 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.960 department. We says the shooting on January twenty first was a wake up call. 193 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.080 Everybody kind of took a step back and said, well, can really 194 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.120 happen here. At around ten twenty two pm, police say seventy two year 195 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.720 old who can try and walked into the Star Ballroom dance studio and opened fire 196 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.279 with no apparent target. Moments after the shooting, tray And drove to Alhambra, 197 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.639 where he tried to kill people in another dance studio, but an employee 198 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.200 was able to stop him. Tran killed himself the next day. In addition 199 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.039 to the eleven dead, nine others were injured and countless people will forever be 200 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.279 scarred by what they saw that night. So it was really a sobering experience 201 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.000 for everybody, besides wrapping our arms kind of around the officers that were there 202 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:37.720 that night and helping that they get through it because it was pretty stressful for 203 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.480 all of us. I have to say I had some young officers, I 204 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.879 had older officers, and it was pretty stressful. We says the department and 205 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.559 the city have grown a lot closer. Steve Gregory King, if I news 206 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.919 best day ever. That's the theme for the twenty twenty five Tournament of Roses 207 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:58.320 Parade in Pasadena. I know. We went and talked to the organizers of 208 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.320 the parade and they said, as soon as twenty twenty four is over, 209 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.759 they start work on twenty five, and boy did they. Incoming President and 210 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:09.480 Morales made the announcement of the next year's theme last night. It could be 211 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.600 the day you learned to ride a bike, a favorite family vacation, the 212 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.320 birth of your first branchild. These are the moments that make life worth living. 213 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.559 Morales says. As we look back at the events that inspired us and 214 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.840 look forward to opportunities the new year will bring, we celebrate all the precious 215 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:31.399 moments in between. Agreed. US forces have conducted a fifth strike against Iranian 216 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:37.200 Backhouthi rebel military sites in Yemen US Central Commands as the latest strikes destroyed two 217 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:43.639 hoo the anti ship missiles that were aimed into the Southern Red Sea and prepared 218 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.919 to launch. The freezing cold has killed at least fifty five people across the 219 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.720 US, at least ten of them in Oregon, where ice storms left parts 220 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.480 of the state covered in a sheet of ice that still hasn't thought out, 221 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.480 according to some of my friends who live there. The first astronaut from Turkey 222 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.519 is head to the International Space Station. The crew of Axium Mission IREI lifted 223 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.840 off yesterday afternoon from Cape Canaveral on a Falcon nine rocket, which also included 224 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.960 astronauts from Italy, Spain, and Sweden at six o five. It's handled 225 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.960 on the news. Hunter Biden has agreed to talk privately with lawmakers after initially 226 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:24.159 ignoring their subpoena. Let's say good morning to ABC's Alex Stone. Alex. 227 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.559 The Innocence Project has taken up the case of Scott Peterson, convicted of killing 228 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:33.759 his wife Lacy and their unborn child in Modesto. I was kind of surprised 229 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:35.799 by this one, but keV, give us, give us the information that 230 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.200 you got on this. Hey there, Amy. I think a lot of 231 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.879 people were surprised by it. The Peterson case was the first thing I ever 232 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.639 covered for ABC back in two thousand and four when I joined ABC, and 233 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.559 immediately my first WEEKND flew up to Redwood City and started covering it. And 234 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.399 there hasn't been a lot of thought about Scott Peterson and in twenty years, 235 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.639 and there have been appeals and you know, little things here and there, 236 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.840 and he's tried over over again, and even the California Supreme Court got involved 237 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:04.639 and said, well, yeah, there was a juror issue, so they 238 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.720 took away the death penaltygue gave him life in prison without parole a couple of 239 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.559 years ago. But they said no, you don't get a new trial, 240 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.919 No you don't get out, which he has tried. And so the courts 241 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:18.919 over and over have said you got a fair trial. Move on. And 242 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.440 now for the Innocence Project of LA, which is the LA chapter from the 243 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:27.240 Innocence Network, not the Northern California chapter, but the LA chapter, saying 244 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:32.120 that they're going to take up the case. You know, they've got a 245 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:37.879 strong reputation. They have a strong history of overturning cases, typically taking cases 246 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.679 that we've never heard of before from you know, like forty years ago of 247 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.240 somebody who is wrongly convicted by corrupt cops, that sort of thing. So 248 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:52.320 to take a case like this one that captivated the country twenty years ago, 249 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.039 and I mean he was so vilified back in two thousand and four. Is 250 00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.840 you had this guy who didn't want his pregnant wife and got rid of her 251 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:06.759 so he could be with his massage therapist girl friend, Amber Fry, and 252 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:11.799 that he but it was all circumstantial. There was never any evidence really pointing 253 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:18.880 to that he absolutely did it. But it was this just overwhelming load of 254 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:23.599 circumstantial evidence that they created an image that very much made it look like that 255 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:27.720 he committed the murder. But we talked to one of the jurors yesterday. 256 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:33.400 He said, one hundred percent Scott Peterson is guilty. Police one hundred percent 257 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.319 still believed Scott Peterson is guilty. Prosecutors do as well. But the Innocence 258 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:42.240 Project is saying, look that they've got new evidence that showing that police focused 259 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:47.519 in on him, made it look like him, ignored other evidence, ignored 260 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:51.720 witness statements and went after him, but that somebody else didn't. Yeah, 261 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:55.960 and you were saying that there was all this circumstantial evidence, including things like 262 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.680 that he had said he had gone fishing and then her body was found in 263 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.759 the way are not far from where he had gone fishing, which wasn't really 264 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:06.759 near their house, correct, And that he had bought concrete, and you 265 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.559 know that she was tied to ky at least the theory was that he had 266 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.839 tied her down with concrete, even though when her body was found she was 267 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.039 washed ashore and had no limbs and had no head. So there wasn't a 268 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.640 lot of evidence there at that point, but there were a lot of things 269 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.119 where they said because he did this, that this probably went on, that 270 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.039 he was found in La Joya, appearing to run, changing his hair color, 271 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.400 living out of his car. He said, well, he was running 272 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.039 away from the media. If you remember back then, it was during the 273 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:41.000 Michael Jackson trial in Santa Maria, Kobe Bryant in Eagle, Colorado, and 274 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.680 Scott Peterson. It was like a trifecta. We were jumping from trial to 275 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.759 trial every day and this was the big one, and media were following him 276 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.920 everywhere. So was he really just getting away from the media. Was he 277 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.200 running to Mexico? Well, they claimed he was running to Mexico. His 278 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.519 side claimed he was just freaking out and trying to get away from media. 279 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:03.799 So what they're focused on here, though, is all stuff that we knew 280 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.279 about in two thousand and four. But police had said over and over again, 281 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.920 well, that was all coincidental, had nothing to do with Lacy Peterson. 282 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.240 A burglary across the street from their home the same day she went missing. 283 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:21.160 That now, the Innocence Project says that they believe that was involved in 284 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:27.160 her disappearance. That they want DNA, they want fingerprints, they want statements 285 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:32.039 from the suspects who arrested. Two of the four two got away, two 286 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.839 were arrested. They want to know what police did to investigate that and why 287 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:41.640 they ruled that out being involved. Then the day after that Christmas Day two 288 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:44.680 thousand and two, there was a burned out van with blood in it, 289 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.240 found down the street from their home near the Modesto Airport. And now the 290 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:55.599 Innocence Project says they want to know was their DNA done on the blood in 291 00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.839 the van? What was that? If not? They want to run now 292 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.799 you know what did they do to rule out that band give Modesto police they 293 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.519 always said, well, nah, it just happened that this all happened in 294 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.079 their neighborhood at the exact same time, and that there was nothing involving the 295 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:18.200 Peterson case. The Innocence Project seemed to feel differently. But again all of 296 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:21.319 those at least from the law enforcement and jury side, they say, no, 297 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.039 that the evidence was there and that he's a guilty. Man was Scott 298 00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:27.960 Peterson And since you covered it, Alex, he was kind of had. 299 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:33.519 He's very charming and charismatic, is that correct? Charming? But I would 300 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:40.039 say, at least during the the police investigation and the trial, arrogant. 301 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:45.279 You know, he always you would think if you murdered your wife that you 302 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:49.680 would be standing on the hilltop yelling I didn't do it. And he was 303 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:53.200 not always all that cooperative in court. He always kind of had, you 304 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:57.839 know, a walk, you know, the smirk on his face. Not 305 00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:02.720 that that means that they're guilty. Everybody handles everything differently, But that didn't 306 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.920 do him any favors in the public eye. And then when it came out 307 00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.559 he had had numerous or you know, several mistresses. And then with Amber 308 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:12.720 Fry, they had the recordings, if you remember, Gloria Alread represented Amber 309 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:19.039 Fry. Mark Geragos represented Scott Peterson, and they had these recordings of him 310 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:25.519 lying about being not having a wife or being a widower and not wanting children, 311 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:27.720 and again that that created this image of a guy who did not want 312 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:34.200 his pregnant wife and acted like she didn't exist. But yes, in away 313 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:38.200 from police and the courtroom, everybody who knew him said, you know, 314 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:44.400 very very charming, could win you over, very salesmanlike in everyday life. 315 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.559 Wondering if the Innison's project bought the salesmanship, I mean, I just you 316 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.119 don't know, because and it'll be interesting to see what they actually come up 317 00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.359 with and if they have anything, because I know that they have done amazing 318 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.039 work to free people who have been wrongly convicted. We talked to the lawyer 319 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:04.200 from the Innocence Project to just recently got someone out who had been serving like 320 00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:08.599 more than twenty years in prison because they got him on circumstantial evidence and then 321 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.680 were able to prove that he wasn't the guy. You know, So they 322 00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:17.440 do good work. I'm just I'm so leery of this one. Yeah, 323 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:19.839 this one for them to take up a well known case, and they put 324 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:23.960 out a statement, yeah, yesterday saying that evidence has been discovered the points 325 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:29.799 to mister Peterson's innocence and points to the actual perpetrators of the crimes against Lacy 326 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.200 and Connor Peterson. At least that's what the court document said. And then 327 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:36.839 they said that they are investigating what he claims to be his innocence. So 328 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.319 some of this is still them investigating it and you know, looking into it, 329 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:44.400 and that's why they want this evidence from the court. But the court 330 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.039 could say, sorry, no, we've gone through this. Even the California 331 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.400 Supreme Court has said no new trial. He's not getting out, but there's 332 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.680 a strong likelihood with this filing, the court is going to say okay, 333 00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:02.119 prosecutors, you tell us your side. They'll look at both and say, 334 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:03.480 hey, we at least have to have a hearing, and then we see 335 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.039 where it goes. It could be a new trial, or the court could 336 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.680 say no, that this is over. Well, we'll be watching. And 337 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:11.319 thank you so much for your insight. I didn't realize that was your first 338 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.200 big case. So I've been around for a long time. Maybe all right, 339 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.880 take care, Alex, appreciate it, good Bucke, have a good 340 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.960 readod you two. California will provide an additional two hundred and fifty million dollars 341 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:27.119 for down payment assistance to first time home buyers through the California Dream for All 342 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:32.519 Loan program. Home Buyers have until April to apply. A lottery system will 343 00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:37.559 determine who gets the assistance. Electric car chargers could soon become more affordable. 344 00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.200 The Biden administration has announced the Treasury Department is proposing a tax credit that we 345 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.200 give a thirty percent discount on the purchase of electric car chargers to about two 346 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.920 thirds of consumers in the US. At six oh five, it's handled on 347 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.400 the news. Congress has again waited until the very last second, but did 348 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:57.880 pass a stopgap bill to keep the government funded until March. Let's say good 349 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:03.559 morning now to the home whisperer and the host of Home on KFI, Dean 350 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.039 Sharp Dean. Last week we talked about basically establishing the parameters to find out 351 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:12.039 what you can and cannot do to your property before you build. So so 352 00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:18.799 now we've set the parameters before you build, what must you do? Well 353 00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.480 before we build? We have to get into the mode of understanding how important 354 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:27.359 it is to design. We have got to set up our design team. 355 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:36.960 We have you yeh, design matters most, it really really does. If 356 00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:40.920 there is one thing that our show has done, has attempted to do over 357 00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:45.400 the last seven years that we've been on here on KFI, it is to 358 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:51.839 really underscore for the average homeowner. And this is something that has just typically 359 00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:57.519 been an afterthought for the average homeowner, how important it is, how utterly 360 00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:03.400 important it is to design, to work through the design. And I mean 361 00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:07.079 that in all serious I'm not saying that that homeowners don't do any design work. 362 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:11.480 Of course they're They're like, of course I want my place to look 363 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:15.079 nice, But I mean serious about it. Everybody thinks about picking up the 364 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:22.039 phone and calling a contractor, but most middle class homeowners don't still in their 365 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:25.480 minds think what you know, first thing we got to do, We got 366 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:30.799 to find ourselves a designer. But it is so so very critical. It's 367 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:34.279 eighty percent of the result of everything that you're doing to your home. So 368 00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:38.880 that is the next step along the path. Design matters most Okay, And 369 00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:41.920 when you're talking about that, is that, like you said, call a 370 00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.440 designer. Do you call a designer right away or do you sit down and 371 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.799 say these are the things I want and kind of start hashing it out and 372 00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:55.359 really thinking through the elements that you want in your home before you get somebody 373 00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:59.160 from the outside involved. Well, that's a good question, and it can 374 00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:04.200 be some it's simultaneous because you want to get the process rolling of having a 375 00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:10.720 designer, building a design team, a creative team for yourself. But yeah, 376 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.640 there is one hugely important role in this process that you, as the 377 00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:21.559 homeowner, have to step up into. And it's not so much as the 378 00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:26.079 designer. Your job is not to necessarily figure out what it's going to look 379 00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:30.279 like or what it needs to look like, but what it is that you 380 00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:36.559 want. And I always say this most importantly, why what it is that 381 00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:41.640 you want and why I got you. Well, like in my first house, 382 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.799 I wanted a certain things, and then my second house, say said, 383 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:45.680 you know what, on my next house, I want a porch and 384 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.400 I want a fireplace, and then on my next house, I want you 385 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.799 know. I mean, you want different things at different times, but you 386 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:53.160 figure out, like you said, you figure out what you want, and 387 00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:56.160 you figure out why, and then have somebody come and help you figure out 388 00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:02.720 how exactly exactly and the reason. And I say, figuring out why is 389 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:06.119 this? You know, design is a language, and it's a language that 390 00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:10.480 you may not know how to speak. And that is perfectly okay. It's 391 00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:15.880 not your job to know how the space should change, but rather to know 392 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:19.000 why you want the change. And really, most importantly, I always tell 393 00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.200 my clients don't let's not rush ahead. I understand you might have a preference. 394 00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.640 Oh I want this light kind of countertop, dean er, I want 395 00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:30.200 this thing to Okay, that's all well and good. Just tell me the 396 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.680 kind of experience you want to have in the space, because it might surprise 397 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:38.119 you how we get there. I was just on a consult earlier this week 398 00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:44.480 and a lovely couple and they were explaining to us, hey, we need 399 00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:48.480 to expand our kitchen, and I agreed for what they needed. They wanted 400 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:52.119 a bigger kitchen, but there were two directions that kitchen could have gone in. 401 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.200 One was to remove some structural walls, and half of their budget, 402 00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.920 that's what they were thinking. Half of their budget would have been sucked up 403 00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:07.480 in just removing the walls, because that's a big involved thing. As I 404 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.119 took a look at the larger house, I noticed that they weren't living in 405 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.359 the living room. They were cramped into the family room area, and then 406 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.640 there was another little weird table shoved in there. And strangely enough, instead 407 00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.079 of staring at the kitchen, as I wandered through the house, I said, 408 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:26.079 you know, I think the solution to your problem takes place over here 409 00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:29.640 in the living room. And they're like, what are you talking about? 410 00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:34.279 And what I did was I redirected them to use three different rooms differently. 411 00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:38.960 And what it enabled us to do was then take the kitchen and expand it 412 00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:42.640 in the other direction and put all of their budget into the kitchen. So 413 00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:48.279 that's what I'm saying, don't expect yourself to anticipate how we're going to get 414 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:53.599 there. Just tell me the experience you want to have and then let the 415 00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:57.200 creative team go to work. I love that. Okay, So not everybody 416 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.759 can get Dean Sharp because Dean Sharp is only one person. So when you're 417 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.759 looking to get a designer, what kind of things are you looking for? 418 00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:08.680 Well, of course you're looking for the same kind of thing that you would 419 00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:12.640 look for in a contractor. You want referrals, you want recent referrals. 420 00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:17.000 You want to talk to their clients that they have right now, just so 421 00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:18.519 you can get a sense of how things are going. You want to see 422 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.359 their work. You want to find out if this is just a one trick 423 00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.319 pony. Right, You're like, why why does everything look like a modern 424 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.039 farmhouse that you design? Or are you capable of designing the kind of stuff 425 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.720 that we want to have done? Like Chippy Joanna Gains. They make beautiful 426 00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.400 things, but they all kind of look the same. It is? It 427 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.079 all kind of looks the same. And maybe that works for you, Maybe 428 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:45.160 that's what you want, or maybe you need something completely different and you need 429 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.960 to vet somebody that they're capable of doing exactly that. And then on a 430 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.519 personality level, you really want to find out if your designer is a good 431 00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.440 listener, because again, we need to get right underneath your skin and find 432 00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:02.640 out what's going on with you. Are they passionate enough to give you pushback 433 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:04.960 along the way, all right, a little creative pushback like no, Amy, 434 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:07.559 no, no, no, no, no, no no, we're 435 00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:10.759 not going to do that. Or are they just gonna let kind of the 436 00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:15.119 tail wag the dog, as it were, and are they willing to save 437 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.839 you from your less than perfect ideas? But still, even with that, 438 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:22.319 it's a fine balance because at the end of the day, you are the 439 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.480 boss, and so you know, I've had designers sometimes say I can't work 440 00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:33.519 with these people for us, Tina and I we like to give pushback where 441 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.240 necessary, but at the end of the day, like over our objections, 442 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:40.000 listen, if this is what you want, you know, you're you're the 443 00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:41.519 one laying out the money for this. We're going to give you what you 444 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.200 want always. Okay. I love that and I like that you know that 445 00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:49.559 a good designer is going to make those suggestions and like you were talking about 446 00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:53.279 with that one home design, not just say yeah, let's do this, 447 00:30:53.720 --> 00:31:00.920 but kind of reimagine the space exactly exactly So you really want somebody whose personality 448 00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:07.480 really vibe with and who has got enough passion for the project that they're willing 449 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.000 to give you a pushback, that it means something to them as much as 450 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:14.039 it means something to you. Okay, perfect, And you're going to be 451 00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:18.920 talking a lot more about this this weekend on Home with Dean Sharp Saturday six 452 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:23.119 to eight am, Sunday nine to noon. Building your Dream exactly. How 453 00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:26.720 part two? Is there going to be a part three next week? Yes, 454 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.640 ma'am, Yes, ma'am. Now, I'm not promising, I'm not 455 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.599 promising that we're going to do this series uninterrupted, but that is our goal 456 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:40.039 here at the beginning of twenty twenty four to actually take a step by step 457 00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:44.480 guide through building your dream home. There may be little breaks in between for 458 00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:48.240 more relevant to temporary issues, but we're going to do it. We're going 459 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:51.680 to get it done. I love it. Thank you so much, Dean 460 00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:56.200 for your time. You can always follow Dean at Home with Dean so easy. 461 00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.920 Have a wonderful weekend. Thanks Amy. All right, let's get back 462 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:02.680 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 463 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:07.920 A mistrial has been declared in Riverside County in the trial of a former LAPD 464 00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:13.640 officer who fatally shot a developmentally disabled man at a costco in Corona. The 465 00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:17.720 man's parents were also severely injured in the shooting. Lawyers for salvad Or Sanchez 466 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:22.559 say the shooting was done in self defense. Jurors yesterday said they were deadlocked 467 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:25.960 couldn't come up with a verdict. The process for a new trial is set 468 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.400 to begin February thirteenth. A man from Florida is expected to plead guilty in 469 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:36.279 Orange County for his part in the fire bombing of a planned parenthood in Costa 470 00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.480 Mesa. Another guy charged in the case pleated guilty in November. A third 471 00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:45.160 man is awaiting trial. The bombing happened in twenty twenty two. A man 472 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.519 from Koreatown who was illegally selling guns with another guy has been hit with a 473 00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.079 more than three year prison sentence. From twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two, 474 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:57.319 William Penia sent photos and prices of guns to his partner so that his 475 00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:01.880 partner could sell them. Evidence presented a trial indicated that Pania was obtaining firearms 476 00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:07.519 from sources in other states, primarily Arizona. US attorney's spokesman Karen McAvoy says 477 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:13.079 Peneous partner admitted to aid illegal gun transactions last year. He's set to be 478 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:17.319 sentenced next month. An undercover agent bought both guns and AMMO from Painous partner 479 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:22.640 Blake Trolley kaf I News, Got Your One to Day, Got Your Centrum. 480 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:27.519 Three new studies that involved more than five thousand people show that taking a 481 00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:34.799 daily multivitamin may protect older adults against memory loss. Researchers say the daily multivitamin 482 00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:38.640 benefited healthy adults in things like reasoning, attention and planning, and the ability 483 00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:45.359 to recall memories from day to day life. US forces have conducted a fifth 484 00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:50.400 strike against Iranian backed Hoothi rebel military sites in Yemen. The air strikes gum 485 00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:54.680 as President Biden acknowledged that the American and British bombardment has not yet stopped the 486 00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:59.279 Hoothies from attacking ships traveling through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. 487 00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:06.519 Those attacks have disrupted global shipping. The freezing cold has killed at least fifty 488 00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:09.039 five people across the US, at least ten of them in Oregon, where 489 00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:13.599 ice storms left parts of the state covered in a sheet of ice that still 490 00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:17.960 hasn't thought out. Pre sale passes go on sale today for eleven or today 491 00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:23.000 at eleven for the twenty twenty four Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festivals can be 492 00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:28.199 headlined by Lana Del Rey, Doja, Cat, No Doubt, and Tyler 493 00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:32.719 the Creator. The festival is happening the weekends of April twelfth through the fourteenth, 494 00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:37.199 and nineteenth through the twenty first at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. 495 00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:42.760 We're just minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, some fans 496 00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:47.199 are suing Madonna for being late to her own concert. Can't wait to hear 497 00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:52.960 more about that. Police in LA and Orange County are looking for more elderly 498 00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:57.199 people whose homes may have been burglarized by a man posing as a Brinx Home 499 00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:00.159 security worker. The man was arrested in Riverside County for a burglary in Harbor 500 00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:05.159 City last month, where detectives found evidence linking the man to several other cases 501 00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:08.440 in Anaheim last summer. O CDA Todd Spitzer says his office has charged the 502 00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:13.760 man with five felonies and five misdemeanors. It's unequivocally clear you come to Orange 503 00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:15.679 County. When we catch you, we're gonna hammer you, and we're not 504 00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:20.000 shy about going to court and protecting our victims, police say. In the 505 00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:22.400 Harbor City burglary last month, the man told an elderly woman he was at 506 00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:27.400 her house to install censors for her security cameras, and once inside, took 507 00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:31.719 her jewelry and credit cards. Chris Adler, KA, fine news. Now 508 00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:37.599 let's say good morning too, ABC's entertainment guru. It's Jason Nathanson. Jason 509 00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:44.639 Iss hits theaters this weekend. Yes, tell us all about it. This 510 00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:46.360 is the new way. It's It's so we're kind of in a slow time 511 00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:50.440 at the box office. We're not getting in a lot of big, huge 512 00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:53.840 studio movies. This is not a studio movie, and we're gonna see Mean 513 00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:58.079 Girls top the box office once again this weekend. Even though you said it's 514 00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:02.119 not very good, I said it was okay. I said there's okay, 515 00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:07.239 there was there was no point in in in versus the original. I think, 516 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:09.559 you know, like there's still just go watch the original. I think 517 00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:13.880 it's it's still better, okay. But it was, you know, it 518 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:19.119 was okay. I didn't dislike it. Okay, but iss is about the 519 00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.239 International Space Station. That's where you get the the initials there. Ariana debots 520 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:24.519 from West Side story she wanted to Oscar a couple of years ago. She 521 00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:29.719 starts as a scientist who travels to the International Space Station. She's going for 522 00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:31.719 the first time. But she gets there and there there are several other Americans 523 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:36.239 who have been there before, some Russians who've been there for a little while, 524 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:40.440 and then tensions start to flare as a worldwide conflict breaks out on Earth. 525 00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:45.719 So did you see Leave the World Behind on Netflix idea? So this 526 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:51.079 is kind of that's happening on Earth. This is happening in the in the 527 00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:54.480 space station in space right. It's kind of like the spiritual cousin to that 528 00:36:54.639 --> 00:37:00.000 film. It's really really tense. It's a slow burning thriller that really. 529 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.320 It starts out and you can feel the tension and then it just gets more 530 00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:07.039 and more tense as things go along. Now, I got to see this 531 00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:12.039 at home. This is only in theaters this weekend. If you were able 532 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.480 to see it at home, if you want to wait till it's done streaming, 533 00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:16.760 you know, that would be fine. I don't know that you need 534 00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:22.559 to necessarily rush out to the theater to see it. It's okay, it's 535 00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.079 not a bad watch, but it's not one of those I think you need 536 00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:30.079 to necessarily go pay a bunch of money, you know, and take time 537 00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:32.800 out of your weekend to go see. But I did enjoy it, and 538 00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:37.559 the kind of the I think I like a little bit more, the premise 539 00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:40.280 behind it, a little bit more than the actual execution. Okay. And 540 00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:45.000 so you mentioned Leave the World Behind, which I did see on your recommendation 541 00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:47.079 or I don't know if it was a recommendation, but after you talked about 542 00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:52.119 it, I did recommend and I personally didn't like it at all. Sure, 543 00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:55.719 but so does it have that sort of same feel because when we were 544 00:37:55.719 --> 00:38:00.480 talking about it, I was talking to Wake Up Call about it, and 545 00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:06.360 we were saying that it did move very slow, and it like things kind 546 00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:08.440 of happened, but you weren't really sure. What is that the same vibe 547 00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:12.840 that you get from ISS? I mean a little bit. They're different, 548 00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:15.039 very different movies, very different tones. Leave the World Behind, you know, 549 00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:19.400 had some strange stuff going on, some I thought some you know, 550 00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.239 really funny stuff. When it came to you know, their incorporation of pop 551 00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:27.280 culture like friends and things like that. You know, this is a completely 552 00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:31.480 different tone. It's just really all about tension from from the first second basically 553 00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:37.800 that the film starts and building this tension between these six characters. So it's 554 00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.280 you know, if you like that sort of thing. I know a lot 555 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.800 of people don't like that sort of thing. It's one of the criticisms of 556 00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:49.679 the show, The Bear right and some other The Bear is a very tense, 557 00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:52.199 anxiety inducing the show. But it's so good. It's good. But 558 00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:58.119 it's definitely not a comedy in my opinion, which is kind of incredible since 559 00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:01.039 it just ran the table at the I mean comedy. But you know, 560 00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:05.360 so some people do like that kind of stuff. I personally don't like to 561 00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:07.559 live in that world. I think the real world is tense enough. I 562 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:12.079 don't like it in my entertainment, but it didn't necessarily bother me in this 563 00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.119 film. Okay, So then let's shift gears because there's another movie coming out 564 00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:20.880 called Origin, and it's about the origins of racism in America. Yeah, 565 00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:23.679 and this is a real treat in terms of what I get to do as 566 00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:27.840 part of my job, because this is a movie that's been flying under the 567 00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:30.960 radar. It should have gotten a lot more awards attention than it did. 568 00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:35.159 And you know, and one of the reasons is my fault as well, 569 00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.000 because I was late to this film, didn't get a chance to see it 570 00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:42.760 until this week. I saw it yesterday and it absolutely blew me away. 571 00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:47.280 Really. Yeah. This is Eva du Verna, who she directed Selma Thirteenth, 572 00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:51.360 you know, a bunch of some really great stuff. She wrote and 573 00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:57.039 directed this. It's the story of a woman played by angeu Ellis Taylor who 574 00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:02.039 she is dealing with tremendous person tragedy and she does so by throwing herself into 575 00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:06.280 her work as a writer. And this is kind of based on the true 576 00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:08.599 story of how this book from a couple of years ago was written. And 577 00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:14.800 her character is she's kind of a sociologist examining social systems in the US, 578 00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:19.679 and she starts to get into how the treatment of black people in America is 579 00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.840 tied to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany, is tied to the caste 580 00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:29.960 system in India. And she's pulling on all these connective threads and putting them 581 00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.800 together. And the film itself, the way the story is told it's about 582 00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:37.199 this one woman's journey, so it's very much kind of a narrative story in 583 00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:42.800 that way, but it also feels like it's partially a documentary and a little 584 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:47.559 bit of a history lesson as well. It's absolutely excellent filmmaking from Aver Duvernet 585 00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:53.199 and an outstanding performance from Andrea Ellis Taylor. Had I seen it last year, 586 00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:57.920 it would have been on my list of the most impactful films of twenty 587 00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:01.199 twenty three. For sure. This film should heavily be in the awards conversation. 588 00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:04.880 And we'll see if it gets any Oscar love next week. I don't 589 00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:07.000 think it will. I just don't think people have seen it. I don't 590 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:10.079 think they've taken the time to see it. Indeed, you never heard of 591 00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:13.920 it until you put it into your this is what I'm going to talk about 592 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:15.880 tomorrow notes. Yeah, and that's one of the issues, and that also 593 00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:20.480 comes to marketing and the Oscars campaign. You know, it's one of those 594 00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:22.639 movies. It was in theaters in New York and Los Angeles for a week 595 00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:29.079 or so to qualify for the awards is in December, but now just now 596 00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:31.840 it's coming out in wide release. Maybe if it had been out in wide 597 00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:36.480 release a little earlier and people were talking about it, it would have gotten 598 00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:39.079 more people to see it. But whatever happened, it's a shame and a 599 00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:43.920 crime as far as I'm concerned. But the fact is that you can go 600 00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:46.800 see it this weekend, and I would highly encourage everybody to do so a 601 00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:52.400 glowing endorsement. Okay, so we've got the Oscars. Speaking of the Oscars, 602 00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:55.239 the nominations are coming out next week and anything that we should be looking 603 00:41:55.239 --> 00:42:00.199 forward to, Yeah, I mean we'll see I think some of the stuff 604 00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.880 that we've continued to see so far of the you know, when it comes 605 00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:07.519 to Best Picture, of course, I think we're gonna see, you know, 606 00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:10.239 a lot of nominations for Oppenheimer that's going to get it because that's one 607 00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:15.719 of those films that has a lot of the acting spots best Picture also a 608 00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:20.320 lot of the technical stuff as well, and director for Christopher Nolan. So 609 00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:23.199 look for that to do very very well. And then a lot of the 610 00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:27.840 stuff that we've seen so far this season, and we're talking about Best Picture, 611 00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:30.440 you know, I think Barbie is probably going to get in there. 612 00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:37.199 American Fiction, the Holdovers. I like American fiction at all. Okay, 613 00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:42.159 I liked American Fiction. I thought it was I wanted it to be. 614 00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:46.280 I love I love the premise of it. It didn't get me one hundred 615 00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:51.679 percent, and I don't know if I would put it on Best Picture, 616 00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:54.519 but it's definitely it's gotten that buzz and it's going to continue. Yeah, 617 00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:57.800 and I like it. Is it Jeffrey Wright? Is it the name Jeffrey 618 00:42:57.800 --> 00:42:59.880 Wright? Yes? I love him as an actor. I think started. 619 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:01.519 Yeah, I think it was good. It just it fell flat. It 620 00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:06.159 didn't live up to what I expected it to be, gotcha. And you 621 00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:07.119 know, again, at the end of the day, all these things are 622 00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:12.719 subjective, right, and so you know, I think we look at you 623 00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:15.599 know, I vote on the Critics' Chorte Awards. We talked about that last 624 00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:20.599 week, and I of my votes, fourteen of them more different than what 625 00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:24.280 actually won. So you know, everybody has different opinions, and you know, 626 00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:28.800 we all see things very differently. Again, one of the reasons why 627 00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:30.480 it's a shame of film like Origin, which I think should be in this 628 00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:36.159 conversation and should definitely get the Best Picture nomination, probably isn't going to get 629 00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:37.960 it, might not even get anything. Well, we're going to go see 630 00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:42.000 it anyway based on what you said, because now I'm excited to go see 631 00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:44.960 the thing. You know, I think it's one of those things. Check 632 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:47.599 out the trailer. If it speaks to you, then I think you will 633 00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:52.920 definitely enjoy it. If it doesn't, it's not going to be for everybody, 634 00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:58.159 and I certainly that's fine, So hold your angry emails and tweets and 635 00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:01.280 things like that. But you know, again, these things are subjective. 636 00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:05.760 But I thought it's what can't be denied for me at least, is that 637 00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:08.440 it's fantastic filmmaking. Okay, great, Jason Nathanson, thank you so much. 638 00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:10.400 All Right, take it all right, I'll talk to you next week. 639 00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:13.960 But let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 640 00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.280 twenty four hour newsroom.

The defenses.
