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 --> 00:00:15.400
demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and
KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:26.359
It's time for your morning wake up
call. Here's Amy King. It

4
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:31.760
is time. Time to get up, time to get going. It's Friday.

5
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:38.719
We're almost home. Hey, Daylight
saving time ends this weekend. Supposed

6
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.159
to set your clocks fall back so
we get the extra hour of sleep.

7
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:49.320
Does anybody set their clocks anymore?
My clocks all do it automatically, except

8
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.119
for the one in the bathroom.
That's an old little you know, with

9
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.520
the hands and stuff a clock with
the hands. It's a novel thing.

10
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:02.039
This is your wake up call for
Friday, November three. I'm Amy King.

11
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.159
Thanks for getting up with us this
morning. Got lots planned for you

12
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.920
this morning, so we hope you'll
stick around and get your day started with

13
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.560
US. US Secretary of State Antony
Blincoln is back in Israel, this time

14
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:18.760
to push for humanitarian pauses in Israel's
war against Tamas and for the Israeli government

15
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.680
to protect more civilians in the Gaza
Strip. Israel says its military has surrounded

16
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.079
Gaza City and it's moving in the
fire in Riverside County that's burned about twenty

17
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:32.760
five hundred acres is now forty percent
surrounded. Full containment of the fire could

18
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.560
come by at least next Wednesday.
The fire in Aguanga that started Monday didn't

19
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:44.000
grow yesterday. Evacuations and road closures
are still in effect. Federal regulators have

20
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:49.280
accused Amazon of using a secret algorithm
that raised prices of online purchases by over

21
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.239
a billion dollars. The claim was
made public yesterday. It's part of the

22
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.840
FTC's anti trust suit against Amazon.
A spokesperson for the company said the ft

23
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:06.840
grossly mischaracterizes the pricing tool and says
the company stop using it several years ago.

24
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.280
Aha, So they were using it
then at six oh five. It's

25
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:13.840
handle on the news. The House
has passed a plan to provide billions in

26
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.759
aid to Israel, but the Senate
says it's dead on arrival. Bill's going

27
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.400
to tell you why. Let's get
started with some of the stories coming out

28
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.319
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Israeli military says its ground operation

29
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:30.800
in Gaza is expanding. ABC's Justin
Finch says troops have encircled Gaza City and

30
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:36.680
report being locked in face to face
bottles battles with Hamas militants, a senior

31
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:43.000
US official telling ABC News the US
is also flying unarmed MQ nine Reaper drones

32
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:47.840
over Gaza to assist Israel with locating
more than two hundred hostages Hamas is holding

33
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:53.000
captive. Finch says the air assaults
on Hamas targets and Gaza are also demolishing

34
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.599
densely populated areas. Israel says its
air strikes are aimed at Hamas militants and

35
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.360
accused this is the group of using
crowded residential areas for cover. The House

36
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.400
has approved that fourteen and a half
billion dollars in military aid for Israel's I

37
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:12.159
just mentioned. It passed yesterday on
a vote of two twenty six to one

38
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.680
ninety six. ABC Stephen Portnois says
twelve Democrats crossed the aisle to support the

39
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:21.120
measure, despite a White House threat
to veto it. Most Democrats opposed the

40
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.840
bill, citing its lack of humanitarian
aid for Palestinians, as well as the

41
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:30.439
pay for provision taking funds from the
IRS investigators. Portnois says the bill is

42
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.800
dead on arrival in the Senate,
where leaders aim to pass a bigger bill

43
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.479
that offers support for Ukraine, Taiwan
and border security as well. The LAPED

44
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:45.560
is investigating vandalism at the famous Canter's
Delhi on Fairfax. Investigators say they're trying

45
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.280
to see if any surveillance cameras in
the area will show them something. Captain

46
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.719
Kelly Muni says the hate crimes case
was reported Wednesday morning and they've increased patrols

47
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.719
in areas deemed to target of anti
Semitic behavior and reaching out to our Jewish,

48
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:03.520
Muslim and Arab community to ensure that
Angelino's of all fease pieces are feeling

49
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.240
safe. Since the war in Israel
started, the LAPED says there's been a

50
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.919
two hundred percent increase in hate crimes
against the Jewish communities in downtown La Steve

51
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.800
Gregory k if I knows customers at
Canter's Delhi have shown up in support of

52
00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:19.680
the owner and the Jewish restaurant.
A man who's been going to Canters since

53
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:25.720
the nineteen seventies says it's shocking people
would target the deli because of politics.

54
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.279
The owner says customers have been calling
and reaching out to him to make sure

55
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.319
he's okay. He says what happened
is unfortunate, but he will keep on

56
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:39.480
serving the community. Tens of thousands
of hotel workers in Las Vegas have set

57
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.800
a deadline to strike if they don't
get a new contract. ABC's Alex Stone

58
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.319
says employees from cooks to bartenders,
bellman, laundry workers and kitchen staff could

59
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.079
walk off the job next Friday.
In October, the thirty five thousand workers

60
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:58.279
picketed demanding better wages and working conditions. Stone says workers at eighteen casino resorts

61
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.839
in Las Vegas, including MGA,
Caesars, and Win would be impacted if

62
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:06.480
there is a strike. Note to
self cancel trip to Las Vegas. Let's

63
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:12.680
say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim. The CDC says there are

64
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.920
positive signs when it comes to kids
trying tobacco. Yeah. Absolutely. In

65
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.000
fact, among high school students,
the number fell off quite dramatically in the

66
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:24.639
past year. This amy comes out
of the twenty twenty three National Youth Tobacco

67
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.480
Survey let's put together by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention and finds that

68
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:33.879
current tobacco use dropped among high school
students from about sixteen and a half percent

69
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:39.000
of those kids down to twelve point
six percent of those kids. About five

70
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:44.240
hundred and eighty thousand fewer high school
students reported using e cigarettes during that time.

71
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.680
But this is a classic good news
bad news story, Amy, because

72
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:51.759
while high school student use of tobacco
products of all kinds has been dropping off,

73
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:58.639
middle school students are using tobacco products
more. Ooh yeah, that number

74
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.600
rose in the last year about four
and a half percent up to six point

75
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:06.120
six percent. Now, so these
public awareness campaigns, the PSAs, the

76
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:11.399
efforts to try to get kids to
quit using tobacco products seem to be working

77
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.199
on high school kids, not so
much among middle schoolers. Okay, And

78
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.199
is there anything to suggest to that, because like less parents are smoking,

79
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.519
that less kids are smoking because I
think, you know, when I was

80
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.720
growing up, some of my friend's
parents who smoked, we could just go

81
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.240
steal a cigarette. Oh yeah,
it was that easy, and it could

82
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.240
be I think that now tobacco,
the cigarettes are being replaced by vey products,

83
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:40.199
and in fact, that is the
tobacco product of choice among those younger

84
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:45.759
kids. You know, about two
point eight million students who reported using tobacco.

85
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.720
Of them two point one million,
we're using e cigarettes, so that

86
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.920
remains the hot heigh amount there with
you. Yeah, the world has changed.

87
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.279
You'd slip a cigarette out of your
parents pack and smoke that. I

88
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.560
mean, my high school had a
smoking area. That tells you how different

89
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.759
things are now. We did too. We had an area and we called

90
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.639
it. We called the people who
went across the street to smoke the tree

91
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:12.199
frogs. They went and hung out
under a tree. Well, yeah,

92
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.040
you know, there was a whole
part of the culture back then. But

93
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:20.800
that culture has changed and now dramatically
fewer kids are using cigarettes dramatically if you

94
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:27.800
are using chewing tobacco. But we're
continuing to see these nagging numbers regarding vape.

95
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.199
Now I'm thinking back to high school
and like I said, there was

96
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.560
the group of students who'd crossed the
street. So in my high school,

97
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:39.959
like smoking wasn't cool. Has has
it become kind of cool or is it

98
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.720
still just like, yeah, it's
not something really that people think are well,

99
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:45.600
I think, you know, pure
pressure has always been a part of

100
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.120
it, right, the desire to
fit in somehow or to be cool.

101
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.720
And you know, but once you've
tried it. According to the National Youth

102
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.959
Tobacco Survey in the CDC, once
you've tried it, you introduced nicotine into

103
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:03.120
your body, and then you introduce
more. Because it's an addictive substance,

104
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.519
Absolutely an addictive substance. And so
whether it's cool or not, you're going

105
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.360
to keep using this stuff. And
so that's that's part of the issue here.

106
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:16.279
Once a kid is hooked, you
know, they're they're through doing damage

107
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:22.240
to their brains. Doctors say they're
becoming more isolated from kids who don't use

108
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.639
these products. So, yeah,
there is evidence that this is a harmful

109
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.639
thing, and and yeah, yeah, you're right at some point, whether

110
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.200
it's cool or not, that you're
going to be using these products because they're

111
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.120
hooked on the nicotine. Yeah,
okay. So also Jewel was accused of

112
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.679
marketing to kids and a lot of
that with the flavors and all of that

113
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.879
kind of thing, and they settled
a lawsuit. How much was that settlement

114
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.519
for, Oh, it was in
the hundreds of millions, And in fact,

115
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.240
now checks are being written to school
districts that were a part of that

116
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.559
class action lawsuit. That's what I
was going to ask you is where's that

117
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.919
money going. It's going out to
school districts or communities. Some are putting

118
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.159
it into school programs, others into
smoking cessation efforts programs like that. Some

119
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.200
are putting it back into their general
fund. So they are seeing this windfall

120
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.399
coming out of that. But despite
that, if you look at that,

121
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.679
so Jewel is the one that's paying
out all these massive settlement checks. But

122
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.759
this past year, among students reporting
current e cigarette use, those who are

123
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.960
still using them, eighty nine point
four percent, we're using flavored products,

124
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.440
and the most commonly reported brands there's
one called elf Bar, there's one called

125
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:41.000
Escobar, View views rather, and
Jewel remains one of the most popular among

126
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.919
young kids. I think we banned
the flavored stuff here, didn't we?

127
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.960
I think, yeah, there were
moves to do that, but they're still

128
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.960
out there and kids are still using
those products. And you know, the

129
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.320
reasoning being that what adult who uses
VAP products is using flavored you know,

130
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:03.200
bubblegum flavor, fruit flavor. Right, who's doing that? It seems to

131
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.120
be And at least the CDC and
health and public health officials are saying that

132
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.279
this stuff was squarely marketed toward kids. Yeah, here's the one thing that

133
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.919
kind of ticks me off about the
settlement, Like you said that it's going

134
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.240
to some smoking cessations, but that
some are just using it for the general

135
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.639
fund. That money should all go
to stop kids from smoking, all of

136
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.960
it. It shouldn't be going into
paying for other things. That's my humble

137
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.240
opinion. But otherwise, I mean, like, if they're not if they're

138
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.279
not actually going to prevent smoking,
then why are they paying the money?

139
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.679
That's all I'm thinking. Yeah,
Well, I mean school districts are strapped,

140
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.000
right, they have trouble keeping teachers
much less. You know, we're

141
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.919
running PSA's and trying to run programs
like this. But and you're right,

142
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:50.559
this is still a big debate among
school boards and city councils and whatever government

143
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.320
body has received this check now is
trying to decide what to do with it.

144
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.960
Okay. Oh, and I have
my local researcher, it's our traffic

145
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.639
guy, Nick Poliochini. And in
August twenty twenty, Senate Bill seven ninety

146
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.080
three was passed in California, prohibiting
the sale of flavored tobacco products except for

147
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:11.559
those used in premium cigars, hookahs, or loose leaf forms, there always

148
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.159
an exception, all right, Jim
Ryan, thank you so much for the

149
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.639
good news and the bad news this
morning. Yeah me, all right,

150
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.440
have a good weekend. Let's get
back to some of the stories coming out

151
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.240
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Van Nuys High School is adding extra

152
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.879
security because of a stabbing on campus. An LAPD officer will now be stationed

153
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.080
on campus. Five people were injured, Two of them were stabbed in a

154
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.879
brawl in the quad Wednesday. Four
students had to be taken to the hospital.

155
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.279
Three students were detained. The LA
School District has agreed to pay a

156
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.039
nearly twenty million dollars settlement to fourteen
kids sexually abused at an elementary school.

157
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.159
The girls reported being molested by a
teacher's eight at Oxnard Street Elementary School,

158
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.480
where they say the man touched them
with and without teachers being present. Attorney

159
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.919
Michael Correo says the man was hired
at the school in North Hollywood in twenty

160
00:11:54.919 --> 00:12:01.759
ten. We have information that he
was abusing kids starting twenty thirteen, and

161
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.360
that continued on until approximately twenty nineteen. The man was convicted of molesting the

162
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.159
girls in twenty twenty and was sentenced
to eight years in prison. A judge's

163
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.399
schedule to rule on the approval of
the settlement next week. Chris Adler kf

164
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.639
I News Officials in West Hollywood are
looking for a woman wanted for at least

165
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.639
two burglaries tied to Romanian crime theft
groups. The La Sheriff's Department said the

166
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:30.000
woman stole jewelry and credit cards from
lockers at a hotel, spa, and

167
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.879
yoga studio. The woman has a
counterfeit Washington State ID, black hair,

168
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.720
brown eyes. She weighs about one
hundred pounds. Officials says she is known

169
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.879
to travel the country committing similar crimes. A body's been found in the surf

170
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:48.639
at Point Magoo Beach. The Ventura
County Sheriff's Department says call yesterday requested an

171
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.519
ambulance for a person who wasn't breathing. The department says when paramedics got there,

172
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.240
they found a man dead in the
water. FTX founder Sam Bankman Freed

173
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:00.759
has been found guilty on all charges
in his fraud and conspira trial in New

174
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.799
York. He was convicted in a
scheme that cheated customers out of at least

175
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.519
ten billion dollars. In an interview
last year, bankman Freed says, see

176
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.879
screwed up. I really deeply wish
that I had taken like a lot more

177
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:20.000
responsibility for understanding what the details were. Bank Ben Freed also denied the collapse

178
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:26.360
of FTX was similar to other fraudulent
investment scams. He'll be sentenced in March.

179
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.799
DoorDash is sending out a message to
customers. If you don't tip,

180
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.159
you may have to wait longer to
get your food. The pop up disclaimer

181
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.320
is on the app. Doordash's drivers
get to choose which orders they want to

182
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.279
pick up and deliver, so they
tend to accept the ones that pay the

183
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.240
most. This guy says he may
not use DoorDash anymore because of this.

184
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.360
I feel like we're already paying a
lot, and the prices basically have been

185
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.120
increasing. I've been using it for
maybe like seven eight years, and slowly

186
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.000
it's always just been increasing. So
I don't know. Maybe if you want

187
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.399
drivers to be tipped, there should
be other incentives. The advisory is part

188
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.759
of a pilot program, but only
in some service areas. No word on

189
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:07.480
if it's going to become permanent.
Congress has overwhelmingly approved resolution condemning support for

190
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:13.039
Hamas and any other terrorist organization on
US college campuses, saying the campus is

191
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.480
that it may lead to the creation
of a hostile environment for Jewish students,

192
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.759
faculty, and staff. The vote
was three ninety six to twenty three.

193
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.759
Parents of elementary school students in Norwalk
are pretty ticked off about a man they

194
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.720
say has been recording their kids as
they leave campus for weeks now. The

195
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.279
man has apparently been sitting in his
parked suv recording the kids outside New River

196
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.120
Elementary. Police say they can't prove
that the man committed a crime. Okay,

197
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.720
remember that big rainstorm during Burning Man. About two inches of rain remnants

198
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.240
from Hurricane Hillary were dumped on the
area in just twenty four hours. And

199
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.000
guess what it left behind. A
big lake. A salty lake two miles

200
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:58.480
wide and four miles long has formed
in Death Valley National Park. Death Valley

201
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:03.080
one of the hottest and driest places
on Earth. It's only a few inches

202
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.320
deep, apparently at six oh five. It's handle on the news. Secretary

203
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.480
of State Anthony Blincoln has arrived in
Israel. He'll be pushing for humanitarian pauses

204
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.799
in the war. Let's now go
to Israel and say good morning to ABC's

205
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:22.320
Geordana Miller. Jordana, I know
we have a Hesbolah leader. He's going

206
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.960
to be speaking publicly today. Tell
us about that and why it's significant,

207
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.519
right, It's a very important issue. In about an hour local time,

208
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.320
the head of Hezbola, the Iranian
Bakshie group that sits on Israel's northern border

209
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:46.759
there in southern Lebanon, a group
that has been launching attacks against Israeli positions

210
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.960
now for more than two weeks.
The leader, Hassan Nostralla, will give

211
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:58.120
a speech today and everyone will be
listening very very carefully, trying to parse

212
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:04.840
out if he intends to join this
war in any significant way. So far,

213
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:14.000
he has been given the firepower that
Hasbala has over one hundred thousand missiles.

214
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:18.960
They've been just, i would say, carrying out pinpoint smaller attacks,

215
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:25.679
but they have the capability of course
to bomb cities all across Israel. So

216
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.480
everyone will be listening to see if
they are going to join this war that

217
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.519
Israel is fighting against Tumas, and
that of course brings the danger of the

218
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:41.279
conflict widening to become a regional conflict. Okay, and this guy he hasn't,

219
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.720
like you said, it's considered significant
because he hasn't been seen in public

220
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:55.000
for years. That's right. Howson
Esrala speaks from a bunker. It's believed

221
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.720
he's been in hiding. He mostly
most of the time he's in hiding,

222
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.720
but of course when there are major
conflicts with Israel, you know, he

223
00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:10.720
stays out of sight for fear that
he might get assassinated. And this is

224
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:15.400
the first time that he's actually speaking
since since the war broke out here more

225
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:22.279
than three weeks ago, so you
know everyone will be listening, including the

226
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.640
White House. Is there any hope
that he's going to say, hey,

227
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:33.079
we're not getting involved or do is
there any insight into that? That's a

228
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.000
great question. I think in all
likelihood he will leave things ambiguous and keep

229
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.559
Israel in the West guessing about whether
he's going to get involved or not.

230
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.279
I think that's probably the most likely
outcome. I think it's very low chances

231
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.880
that he'll say, you know that
he's not going to be part of this

232
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:57.519
conflict. In a sense, he
has to be part of it on a

233
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.920
low level, which is what we've
been saying in the last few weeks because

234
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.720
he has to. You know,
he shares some sympathy with Hamas, the

235
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.480
terrorist group in the Gaza Strip,
although it's important to say there's a big

236
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:18.160
difference. Hamas is a Sunni group
and Husbala is a Shiite group really backed

237
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:25.400
and bankrolled and much larger than Hamas
and banquoed by Iran, whereas Hamas has

238
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:32.240
some other funders as well. So
you know, it's clear to military evalences

239
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:37.559
that are looking at this conflict that
should it widen out, Israel would probably

240
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:44.119
really devastate Hasbala's position and presence in
southern Lebanon, even in Syria where they're

241
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:49.880
now operating. You know. So
there's been even politicians in Lebanon saying,

242
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:52.599
you know, we don't want to
be a part of this, you know,

243
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.759
has Bala. I hope they're not
leading us down a path that will

244
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:03.680
bring Lebanon into an even more chaotic
situation. I mean, Lebanon is a

245
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:10.720
barely functioning state as it is for
various other reasons. Okay, So basically

246
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:12.759
you're saying that Israel's ready to fight
on two fronts if they had to.

247
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.400
Asrael's been, They've been prepared and
willing to fight on two fronts if they

248
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.960
need to. I mean, they're
staying on the highest alert in the north

249
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.839
in case they need to. They've
been training soldiers here for that two front

250
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:33.039
war. I mean, Israel is
focusing on Kamas and the fight inside Gaza

251
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.799
City now even circle to Gaza City. That's what they're going to focus on.

252
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:42.839
But they've said for two weeks already
that the worst case scenario is a

253
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:47.799
two front war, and they're preparing
for that. And you know it appears

254
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:52.480
that the White House and the Defense
Department are also preparing for that should that

255
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.039
happen. That's why you know there
are two warships off the coast of Israel.

256
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:03.119
That's why you know President Biden has
just asked for all this additional aid,

257
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:10.279
and why everyone's watching the regions so
closely. Okay, let's go down

258
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:15.319
to the Rafa crossing. We know
that some more Americans got out yesterday.

259
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:21.839
How is that going? That's going
slowly. I mean each day we get

260
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:25.759
the list, and you know,
it's supposed to be six hundred people or

261
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:30.880
eight hundred people that cross over and
per day and the total is only at

262
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:36.680
about eight hundred now for two days. Today you know, there are more

263
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:41.440
than three hundred names on the list
of people eligible to leave Americans today and

264
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.279
I we're gonna have to wait till
the end of the day to see who

265
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:48.920
actually makes it over the crossing,
you know. And there's eight trucks that

266
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:53.200
are coming in. Yesterday we saw
the highest number around the eighty and so

267
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:59.640
for a single day, still way
below normal levels of you know, three

268
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.279
hundred or it's four hundred trucks.
So you know, the humanitarian situation in

269
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:08.440
the Gaza strip is getting very very
desperate. You know, they're running low

270
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:12.319
on all kinds of supplies. It
is well admitted that there, you know,

271
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:17.920
the Gazza shrip needs medications. They
brought in truckloads of medications yesterday.

272
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.759
But you know, it gooses you
know, one of the worst places to

273
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:26.720
be today. If you're if you
don't own another passport, if you're not

274
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:33.680
a citizen of another country, you
can't leave. You're stuck in an increasingly

275
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:38.759
dangerous environment with you know, especially
in the north where you know, there

276
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:44.759
are bombings from the sea, from
the sky and now troops are inside Gaza

277
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.599
City and even though these are all
asked civilians to leave, and probably half

278
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:55.119
of the population around gas of city
left, there's still five hundred thousand civilians

279
00:21:55.119 --> 00:22:00.200
there. Well, that just sounds
scary and awful in her horrific. All

280
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.599
right, thank you so much,
Jordana Miller. Stay safe. We'll talk

281
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.440
to you hopefully soon, and we'll
be watching for the husband a leader and

282
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.960
what he has to say, and
not too long from now. Yep,

283
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.519
all right, thanks Jordan. All
right, here's what we're following in the

284
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.599
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. US
Secretary of State Antony Blincoln is back in

285
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:25.000
Israel, this time to push for
humanitarian pauses in Israel's war against Thomas and

286
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.960
for the Israeli government to protect more
civilians in the Gaza Strip. As you

287
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:33.440
just heard Jordana Miller telling US,
Israel says it's military has surrounded Gaza City

288
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.680
and is moving in. Police are
looking for a man who shot another guy

289
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.680
outside the Arawon grocery store near the
Grove in the Fairfax District. A group

290
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.720
of men were seen on surveillance video
arguing before one of them pulled out a

291
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.200
gun, shot the man and drove
off in a black Lamborghini. The man

292
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:55.799
shot drove himself to the hospital and
his unstable condition. Elon Musk says artificial

293
00:22:55.799 --> 00:23:00.799
intelligence will eventually put everyone out of
a job. At an event in London,

294
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:04.160
the Tesla owner said AI has the
potential to become the most disruptive force

295
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:08.880
in history. Musk, by the
way, recently formed his own AI startup

296
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.000
company. At six oh five a
haandle on the news, the founder of

297
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:17.559
FTX is going to pay he was
found guilty of embazzling billions of dollars from

298
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:21.200
customers. If I poin fifty,
we're gonna be talking to ABC's Jason Nathanson

299
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:26.440
about the darker side of Elvis Presley
and all the light we cannot see.

300
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.640
Time to wake up with the house
whisper and say good morning to the host

301
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:36.200
of Home on KFI. It's Dean
Sharp, Good morning, Good morning Amy.

302
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:41.960
Speaking of light and warmth, is
there still a place for a fireplace

303
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.759
in our homes? Yeah, that's
a tricky question. Well, I guess

304
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.559
maybe it's not a tricky question in
my mind because I automatically say yes,

305
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:55.559
me too, there, Yes,
absolutely yes. Well you got the right

306
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.720
answer, so I guess we're done. All right, it's nice talking to

307
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:03.119
you. No, it's tricky,
you know, because here's the thing.

308
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.240
A lot of people have weird feelings
about their fireplaces. Number One, a

309
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.079
lot of people live in older homes
and they've got old masonry fireplaces. They

310
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:14.519
don't know quite what to do with
them. Or maybe you're not really a

311
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:17.799
fireplace person. They don't use it
a lot, they don't know what shape

312
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.599
it's in. That's a consideration and
a concern. And number two, the

313
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:25.160
state of California, you know,
is not making it too easy these days

314
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:30.319
to get a really nice fireplace in
your major remodel or new construction, because

315
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.279
if you have been labeled a major
remodel, then you have to fall under

316
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:41.119
new construction rules, which means only
a direct vent fireplace, a gas fireplace

317
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:44.279
is what can be installed in the
house. So wait, what's a direct

318
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:48.799
vent fireplace? Yeah, exactly what
is a direct vent? Direct vent fireplace?

319
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.960
Is a gas fireplace? Okay,
it's a gas log set inside,

320
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:56.039
but it's completely sealed and closed so
it doesn't open up. There's no doors

321
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:03.359
on it. It's a sealed appliance
unit. You've undoubtedly seen them. You'll

322
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:07.279
see them at restaurants, sometimes out
in public or other places. They're really

323
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:12.759
really great at making long linear kind
of contemporary fire lines. Yes, I

324
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:18.880
love the look of those things they
have they Yes, they're beautiful. They're

325
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.279
beautiful. Now they're a little bit
trickier in trying to get a traditional looking

326
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.240
fireplace, but they've come a long
way. But the point is this,

327
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.160
that is now the only kind of
fireplace that you can install in new construction

328
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.799
or a major remodel, not even
just a gas log set. So if

329
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:40.000
you got a fireplace pre existing,
hang on to it. That's my point,

330
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:44.920
because now I will grant you this. Fireplaces are you know, they're

331
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.160
kind of like an appendix. They
are technically a you know, a vestigial

332
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:53.759
organ. The whole reason they exist
is is has nothing to do with twenty

333
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:56.960
first century life. We don't cook
food in them, we don't use them

334
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:02.200
to heat houses anymore. You know, they are obsolete in that sense.

335
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:07.240
But but as a design element and
as a lifestyle element. That's why I

336
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:14.400
think you and I love them so
much, because the dancing of a flickering

337
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:22.400
flame is evolutionarily ingrained in US two
million years of firelight ingrained in the human

338
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:27.599
physiology. And I say this the
University of Alabama did a study not too

339
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.720
long ago trying to get to the
bottom of this. And it's true.

340
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:36.640
When we stare at a at a
fire, our blood pressure goes down.

341
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:40.839
I don't mean a wildfire that's threatening
your home. I mean a contained fire.

342
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.920
Our blood pressure drops, our muscles
relax. All of this happens involuntarily.

343
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:51.200
Actually, it is. It actually
is hypnotic. When you think about

344
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:57.200
the elements of hypnosis, right,
you know, you think about the psychologists

345
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:03.480
holding like the watch swing back and
forth, so a rhythmic movement that has

346
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:08.000
your full attention against a dark background, so all of your other thoughts kind

347
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:12.960
of push away. It is literally
hypnotic, and it's just a it's a

348
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.079
beautiful thing. Fires have meant so
much to us as human beings, and

349
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:23.960
I push my clients when we can. Please please don't purge firelight from your

350
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.559
home. We don't have to use
it to heat the house or cook dinner,

351
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.279
but don't purge it from your home. You know, it's even goes

352
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.160
along with like real candle flames.
And I know you got to be careful

353
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.799
with real candles and all that,
but I have real candles in my home

354
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.960
and I have the fake candles,
and there's just something about that flame.

355
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:48.480
There is. There is. It
simply is tied into you know, the

356
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:51.640
back end of your brain. There
is, and there's no faking it.

357
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.400
There's really no faking it. You
can fake the crackle sound of a fireplace,

358
00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:59.680
which I strongly recommend. By the
way, for those of you who

359
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:04.119
have gas log sets, you have
a relatively silent fire because you're not burning

360
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:08.279
real wood. I figured this out, believe me. We've been working on

361
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:12.000
it for years. But I'm satisfied
now. I figured this out about the

362
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:15.839
three or four years ago. I
found online and anybody can do this now

363
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:23.640
a little Bluetooth speaker, I mean
a mini Bluetooth speaker. It's about we're

364
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:26.799
talking about the size of a jumbo
marshmallow. In fact, I call ours

365
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:33.480
the little marshmallow. And you charge
it up and you can set it not

366
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.079
in the fire please, but you
can set it right at the corner of

367
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.759
the firebox. And you know what
all you have to do then is pull

368
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:45.640
it up on your phone and stream
to it one of those twenty four hour

369
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:52.880
live YouTube video fire videos and it
and you'll get all the crackling and the

370
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.440
popping coming from your firebox and as
you sit near it or across the room.

371
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:02.039
Boom there. It is one full
experience. I love it, and

372
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:04.559
you know it is as you come
up to the holiday season. They have

373
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:07.440
the yule log video that you were
just talking about, and I was just

374
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.480
thinking about that the other day because
I was like, I don't have a

375
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.200
fireplace in my apartment. I need
something that looks like it. So I'm

376
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:17.119
going to be pulling that up.
So say you have a fireplace, but

377
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:18.599
you're not a fireplace person, and
real quick, because I know we're running

378
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:22.960
out of time, but say,
if you have a fireplace and you don't

379
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.480
want to burn fire in it,
what are some other things that you can

380
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.240
do real quick to make them part
of your home? Well real quick.

381
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:33.839
You know, I treat fireplaces like
I treat swimming pools. Even if you

382
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:36.400
love fires, you're not burning a
fire in the most of the time.

383
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:38.279
So you got to look at your
fireplace, no matter who you are,

384
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:44.839
as a visual feature and a treat
in the room. So if you're not

385
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:49.160
going to burn fires in there,
let's put plants inside it. Let's stack

386
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:56.519
books inside it. I've seen clients
use their fireplace for terrariums as an aquarium.

387
00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.799
One of the most creative things.
Of course, you use the firebox

388
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.359
to slide an aquarium in there.
They're gorgeous. You can do so many

389
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.960
creative things. A pet bed.
If your pet is looking for a place

390
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.559
to hang out, why not set
up the fireplace as their little indoor house.

391
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:17.400
There are a little alcove for him, or exactly exactly, there's one

392
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:22.680
hundred things you can do with a
fireplace. Just don't neglect it because wherever

393
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.559
it is in your home, it's
meant to be a feature that really means

394
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:30.880
something to the room, So take
advantage of it. So I think that

395
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.880
we've come to the conclusion there is
a place by a fireplace, and this

396
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:37.319
is one of the things you're going
to be talking about this weekend on Home

397
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.359
with Dean, and that is happening
on Saturday from six to eight am and

398
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:45.720
on Sunday from nine to noon.
So we encourage you to give a listen

399
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:52.079
absolutely to thank Sharon. Could light
up your life. No, all right,

400
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.160
thanks Dean. Thanks. Let's get
back to some of the stories coming

401
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.160
out of the KFI twenty four hour
news from President Biden and the First Lady

402
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:02.680
are headed to Lewiston, Maine to
pay their respects to the families of the

403
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:07.319
eighteen people killed and those hurt by
a mass shooter. The White House says

404
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.319
the bidens will grieve with families and
community members, and the President will meet

405
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:14.759
with first responders, nurses, and
others on the front lines of the response

406
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:18.000
to the shooting. ABC's Karen Travis
says, according to the White House,

407
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.680
this type of trip by the President
has become all too familiar. A State

408
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.799
Department of Justice report has found criminal
charges are not appropriate for four Anaheim police

409
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.440
officers who killed a man holding a
water bottle. The report found that bottle

410
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:34.400
was in a black bag, which
caused police to yell gun as Brandon Lopez

411
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:40.000
exited a stolen car shortly after gas
was deployed. A family member had also

412
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:42.880
told police during the hours long standoff
in twenty twenty one that Lopez wanted cops

413
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:47.359
to kill him. Anaheim spokesman Mike
Lister says, the report is confirmation that

414
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:52.559
our officers acted lawfully and with intent
to protect themselves and the public. The

415
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.839
AG did recommend Anaheim PD review policies
including use of force, de escalation,

416
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:01.160
and use of chemical agents in Anaheim. Corbin Carson Cass. The FDA has

417
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:07.559
proposed pulling its authorization for the nationwide
use of brominated vegetable oil, or BVO,

418
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:12.880
as an additive in food. The
decision comes after California banned the ingredient

419
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.640
last month by passing the California Food
Safety Act. California was the first state

420
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:22.519
in the US to ban BVO.
The additive is already banned in Europe and

421
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.680
Japan. Seventy four more Americans have
crossed from the Gaza Strip into Egypt.

422
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:30.480
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says
more US citizens will leave the Strip in

423
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:36.720
the coming days. Parents of elementary
school students in Norwalk are pretty mad about

424
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:39.200
a man they say has been recording
their kids as they leave campus for weeks.

425
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:45.000
The man's apparently been sitting in his
parked SUV recording kids outside New River

426
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:49.599
Elementary School. Police say they can't
prove he's committed a crime. Here's something

427
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.839
you don't see every day. A
big lake is now covering part of the

428
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.799
driest and one of the hottest places
on Earth. A salty lake, two

429
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:02.279
miles wide and four miles long has
formed in Death Valley National Park. How

430
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:07.440
did it form? Remnants of Hurricane
Hillary dumped two inches of rain on the

431
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:13.880
area in just twenty four hours and
left behind a lake. Let's check in

432
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:20.200
now with our very own entertainment guru, ABC's Jason Nathanson. Good morning,

433
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:22.599
Jason, say, good morning.
So Elvis is back in the building.

434
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:30.160
He is in this new biopic called
Priscilla, which is based on the relationship

435
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:37.240
explosively, relationship between Priscilla and Elvis, which you know was partially in the

436
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.559
movie last year, Elvis, but
really that was more about Elvis in his

437
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:45.119
journey. This is much more about
Priscilla and her journey and their journey together,

438
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:50.559
and it paints a very different picture
of this than last year's biopic,

439
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:53.519
which was kind of the hero version. Yeah, it was dark and you

440
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:59.599
know, showed some moartz, but
it was mostly glowing. This one shows

441
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:02.519
Elvis as a manipulator, a gaslighter, an adulter or a pill pusher,

442
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.920
and a guy who got involved with
Priscilla when she was fourteen and he was

443
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:14.960
twenty four, which definitely would not
fly today. So it's interesting because Priscilla

444
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.639
at Presley is involved in this one. It's based on her memoir that she

445
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:22.960
wrote in nineteen eighty five and she's
been out there talking about it, supporting

446
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:25.760
it, and she was also out
there talking about and supporting last year's Elvis

447
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:30.719
as well, which again is a
very different picture. So it'll be interesting

448
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:35.440
to see how this is received,
especially by those who really liked last year's

449
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:38.920
film. This one shows a much
darker version of him and their relationship.

450
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:46.559
So historically, which one was he? Was he the manipulative pill pusher that

451
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:51.400
she's described as in this movie.
I mean, this is based on her

452
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:54.960
memoir, so and again she's involved
in this and has been involved from the

453
00:34:55.000 --> 00:35:00.559
beginning. So I think this is, you know, what she expect experienced,

454
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.360
and I think, you know,
there can be several versions of a

455
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:07.519
person that people see, right,
and this is the one that she experienced.

456
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.440
And the film makes it very clear
that, you know, yeah,

457
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:16.559
their relationship was tender and nice at
times, but it was also very very

458
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:21.719
rocky, and you know, ultimately
they got divorced. Now, there was

459
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:25.199
an article yesterday in Variety where we
got Lisa Marie Presley's thoughts on it.

460
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:30.480
She was very unhappy about the early
version of the script that she had read

461
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:35.440
before she died. She, according
to the article, sent an email to

462
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:39.119
director of Sophia Coppola and said that
the film, or what she wrote or

463
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:45.320
what she read was shockingly ventral and
contemptuous. She says her father only comes

464
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:49.239
across as a predator and manipulative,
and if this film comes out, she's

465
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.159
going to be put in a terrible
position of having to speak against it and

466
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:55.679
her own mother, because she knows
her mother was supporting the film, but

467
00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:00.320
she also feels that her mother was
being taken advantage of as well, and

468
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:05.960
didn't really understand how a film like
this could tarnish Elvis's image. So again,

469
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:08.800
well, it'll be interesting to see
how this is received. For me,

470
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:13.760
I wish they would just let it
go. You know. I thought

471
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:16.280
a little bit about that too going
into it. I was not necessarily looking

472
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:22.079
for another Elvis film, especially after
the overexposure I think last year. Yeah,

473
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:24.199
it was enough, you know,
and I got it and done.

474
00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:29.880
Okay. I'd love to see some
stuff on some other artists, because I

475
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:32.920
do love the genre and I do
love learning about music artists, but you

476
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:36.440
know, I was kind of done
with Elvis, so going into this I

477
00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:39.880
didn't necessarily I wasn't looking for it, but I did find it very interesting

478
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:44.280
also, interesting. By the way, the estate would not allow them to

479
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:50.079
use any Elvis music in this,
which is again normally that's a death sentence

480
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:52.599
for me for any kind of biopick. There was a Jimmy Hendrix one a

481
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:57.360
couple of years ago which also was
not allowed to use the music. And

482
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:00.440
you can't do a Jimmy Hendrix's biopick
using Jimmy's music. I think that just

483
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:06.280
doesn't work. But because this is
not about Elvis and his music making,

484
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.719
it's about their relationship. Yeah,
it's fine, and I actually didn't notice

485
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:13.519
that there was no Elvis music in
it. Okay, interesting, and I

486
00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:15.400
mean I would be interesting to see
more, but I just you know,

487
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:20.039
he was he was the king,
and I just kind of feel like,

488
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:23.960
leave the king alone. That's what
I said something. I think we need

489
00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:28.559
to see the full view of every
you know, there's no reason to build

490
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:30.760
up these celebrities if they're not who
we think they are. Well, I

491
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:34.400
think most of the time they're not
who we think they are, right,

492
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.199
So I want to be the real
version. I want to know. I

493
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:38.639
want to know the truth, and
you know, I don't want to build

494
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:44.440
anybody up just because you know,
he swiveled his hips and sold a lot

495
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:49.239
of songs. If you know,
if their relationship was weird, and apparently

496
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:52.719
it was, you know, I
think it's worth knowing about. Okay,

497
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:57.400
so a little bit dark, but
you like the movie, yes, overall,

498
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:00.679
did like the movie. Okay,
great. There's an other show that's

499
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:05.280
starting streaming. It's called All the
Light We Cannot See And it only has

500
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:08.159
my attention because my best friend read
the book and she keeps telling me how

501
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:10.119
fabulous it is, and she's like, you got to read it, you

502
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:13.519
got to read it. I haven't, but I was like, oh,

503
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:15.440
well, now the show's out,
so I can do it that way.

504
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:19.599
Yeah. Although At Light we Cannot
See is on Netflix. I did not

505
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.519
get a chance to see it,
but one of the reviews that I read

506
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:27.800
said, if you like the book, read the book, don't. The

507
00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:34.199
mini series is fine, but really
it's the book that that's much better.

508
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:38.480
This is a World War two set
novel. You have Mark Ruffalo and Hugh

509
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:44.119
Laurie Starr. Oh and yeah,
so you have a good cast there,

510
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:46.840
so you know you might want to
check it out. Certainly, Netflix is

511
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:52.559
pushing this hard. They've been everywhere
really selling this one. So I think

512
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:55.440
they think they have something prestige on
their hands and it'll be you know,

513
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:58.840
we'll see how that shakes out.
And a couple of big names in it.

514
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:01.320
So yeah, Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame Induction is tonight. Can

515
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:05.440
we watch it? Is it airing? You can? Well, for the

516
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:07.960
first time, you can actually watch
it live, I think for the first

517
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:12.920
time ever. Usually they have the
show and then they edit it down and

518
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:15.239
they put it on HBO a couple
of weeks or a month or so later,

519
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:20.119
and you get to see the edited
version, which is yeah, you

520
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:22.320
miss some stuff, but it's a
much tighter thing. This is a four

521
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:27.119
or five hour show. I've covered
these, you know, for many years,

522
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:31.679
and it is it is a long
night and between the performances and everything,

523
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:36.320
you know, yeah, some good
fun stuff happens. But also I

524
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:40.440
remember last year someone's lawyer went on
for like forty five minutes giving a speech

525
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:46.000
and it was the one of the
most boring things ever and we were all

526
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:50.679
like waiting for him to get off
the stage because get to the music.

527
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:55.199
And so it'll be interesting to see
how that's received by people as they have

528
00:39:55.280 --> 00:40:00.039
to watch that full thing tonight.
But also This is on Disney Plus,

529
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:06.599
which the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame ceremony is known for a lot of

530
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:13.159
cursing and blue stories, things that
are not necessarily Disney friendly, so it'll

531
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:15.840
be interesting to see. I guess
we're going to see all of that warts

532
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:19.480
and all, which is part of
what makes it fun. And who are

533
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.880
some of the people coming in?
Getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of

534
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:25.840
Fame is Cheryl Crow, George Michael
Kate Bush, Willie Nelson, Rapper,

535
00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:30.199
Missy Elliott, Rage Against the Machine, and the iconic R and B vocal

536
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:35.360
group the Spinners. Those are the
performers getting in, and we'll see performances

537
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:39.039
from Cheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks,
Elton, John Adam Levine and Sia and

538
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:44.719
more. All Right, there you
go Disney Plus tonight. Jason Nathanson,

539
00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:47.039
thank you so much for your time. Have a lovely weekend. You're very

540
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:51.360
welcome to talk to you soon.
Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend. The

541
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:53.280
time change happens at two am Sunday. Whether you have to set your clock

542
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:57.960
back depends on your technology. Smartphones, laptops, tablets, smart watches.

543
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:00.679
They automatically update the time for you. There is an effort in the federal

544
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:05.199
government to pass the so called Sunshine
Protection Act, which would make daylight Saving

545
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:08.400
time permanent, but right now we
still have it. Red Cross says people

546
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:15.559
should also use this time to change
the batteries in smoke alarms and also carbon

547
00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:22.400
monoxide detectors. This is KFI and
kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
