You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on
demand on the iHeartRadio app k f I at KOST HD two Los Angeles,
Orange County and aged Amy Kay, it's five o'clock. Good morning. This
is your wake up call for Friday, June fourteenth. I'm Amy King.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. June fourteenth. Ooh, it's Flag
Day. If you get a chance, be sure to fly that red,
white and blue proudly today. I don't have a big flagpole because I have
an apartment, but I have a little tiny American flag. It'll be out
in the lannerbox today. And since we won't be together on Sunday, Happy
Early Father's Day to all you dads. And for Bridgerton fans, the second
half of the season just dropped on Netflix yesterday. I haven't had a chance
to watch it yet, but I feel a good binge coming on this weekend.
Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. The president of cal State LA
says pro Palestinian protesters who've been in an encampment for more than a month must
leave. President Tabary Inca Johnson Eanes says the people in the encampment crossed a
line when they took over and vandalized the student Services building on Wednesday. Man
they trashed it means, says for cal State LA, it's always been about
the safety and security of all involved students, faculty, staff, public and
protesters. President Biden says the agreement to tap into the windfall profits on frozen
Russian assets held in Europe will put fifty billion dollars to work for Ukraine in
its war against Russia. He says it'll also serve as a reminder to putin
that, in his words, we're not backing down. In fact, we're
standing together against this illegal aggression. We're going to find out what else is
going on at the G seven with ABC's Karen Travers. That's coming up in
just a couple of minutes. The Eagles will be the next to land at
the Sphere in Las Vegas. The Eagles are going to be playing eight shows
from September twentieth October twenty ninth. You two was the first to perform at
the venue last year. Presale starts for the Eagles on June eighteenth. On
sale to the general public is June twenty first. Prices are going to start
at one hundred and seventy five bucks apiece. We're going to be checking in
with the house whisper Dean Sharp at the bottom of the hour for an electrifying
conversation that'll make sense. And we're also going to find out how Jason Nathanson
feels about the new Inside Out movie just out in theaters at six oh five.
It's handle on the news. The Supreme Court voted unanimously to reject a
challenge to an abortion pill, which means it's still going to be available.
Get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour
News from this Friday morning. Classes at cal State LA have been moved online
because of pro Palestinian protesters who took over a school building. The university's Eric
Frost hall And says security measures have also been taken to ensure protesters don't take
over other buildings. All of our buildings have been secured. It should not
be possible to access our buildings at this point. Up to one hundred protesters
took over the student's Services building Wednesday while school staff members were inside. Police
escorted most of the staff members out, Some left on their own The building
was left with significant damage and has been declared a crime scene at cal State
La Blake Trolley kaff I News. A man suspected of shooting at a law
enforcement helicopter from the roof of a home near Compton has been shot and killed
by La Kenny Sheriff's deputies. Police were called out last night about a man
with a shotgun on the roof of a house. Callers that the man was
under the influence of drugs. Tenants facing a viction from the Barrington Plus Apartments
in West La may be able to stay. The judge's ruling says the owners
of the complex improperly ordered hundreds of tenants to vacate without intentions of permanently removing
the units from the market. Attorney for the tenants, Francis Campbell, says,
if you want to stop being a landlord and knock your place down,
you can do that. But what you can't do is evict everyone and say
that you're going out of business with the real plan to go back into business
after you've renovated. Campbell says hundreds of people left their rent control departments after
being served with notices last year, so if yesterday's ruling sticks. There will
be lots of discussions on how current and former tenants move forward. Chris Adler,
KFI News, let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers. So,
Karen, it was a big day for President Biden of G seven,
but probably a bigger day for Ukraine's President Zelensky because he's getting fifty billion dollars.
It's a significant day for President Zelensky getting that fifty billion dollar loan from
the G seven. Details still to be announced today when the G seven leaders
put out the final statement saying exactly how this is going to work. But
you know, this is something that's been in the works actually for a significant
amount of time, the United States trying to push this over the edge to
get this to Ukraine. They say that they're going to get the money to
them by the end of this year, so that's a pretty quick turnaround.
But the fifty billion dollars will be alone, mostly guaranteed by the US government,
and it's coming from the profits the interest earned on about two hundred and
sixty billion dollars in frozen Russian assets. That's money that was frozen immediately after
Russia invaded Ukraine. It's money that's held mostly in Europe. It's a very
significant move, and the president's saying it's another sign to putin we're not backing
down. Okay, So is it's just profits from that frozen money, So
it's not something that Ukraine's going to have to pay back. Well, they're
calling this alone. Oh the exactly they're calling this alone. It's coming from
the interest on the frozen assets. It's not the frozen assets themselves. And
there have been questions about that. You know, why don't you just give
Ukraine that money that two hundred and sixty billion dollars or so that you know
is sitting there being held that Russia cannot access, given what the estimates are
of what the reconstruction costs are going to be like for Ukraine to rebuild when
the war is eventually over, that's complicated, you know, to take that
money, you can't really you can freeze assets much more easily, but to
then turn them and try to give them to Ukraine, it's a very complicated
legal process that requires many more steps, and that's just not something that seems
to be pursued right now. So freezing and seizing are two different things.
Yeah, freezing them one thing, taking the interest and shifting that to a
loan, but turning them into forfeited assets that could be sent to Ukraine.
That is another legal hurdle. Okay, and bidens still standing by Ukraine kind
of making that statement. Has there been any response from Moscow to this latest
development? Now, I don't think there had been. You know, this
was not unexpected either. I mean, it was really underlining what's already been
done by the United States, you know, for the President yesterday said he
said, this isn't a commitment that the United States is demonstrating it's firm standing
with Ukraine and its security. The goal is to strengthen Ukraine's defense and deterrence
capabilities over the long term. It's a ten year agreement. It's non binding
for future presidents. But under this, the US and Ukraine would expand intelligence
sharing and also enhance the cooperation between their militaries. Important here, this is
non binding, so future presidents can just walk right away from this. This
is not something improved by Congress. It's not something you know, set in
stone like that that would be difficult to undo. Also important, the President
noted it doesn't involve sending US troops to fight in Ukraine, but it does
provide weapons. Ongoing weapons support and continuing to train Ukrainian troops at bases in
Europe and in the United States sounds like a much needed infusion. Of course,
during the press conference with Zelenski, when they were talking about Ukraine reporters
being reporters, Biden asked about or Biden was asked about Hunter. What did
he say? Yeah. He was asked during the press conference if he believed
his son was able to get a fair trial, and he reiterated his answer
from last week to ABC's David Muir that he would not pardon him. He
said that his son is one of the brightest, most decent men he knows,
and he's satisfied he's not going to do He said, I'm satisfied,
I'm not going to do anything. He said he would abide by the jury
decision and he will not pardon him. Now, after the press conference ended,
people started shouting questions about whether he would commute his son Hunter's upcoming sentence.
You know, lessen it, get rid of it, and he said
simply no, Okay, you know, if I was president, just between
you, me and the fence post, I'd pardon my son. There's a
lot of legal analysts who have said similar say, you know, as a
dad first, if you had the power to do it, it's hard to
see how you wouldn't. But the president right now has been pretty emphatic that
he is abiding by the jury decision. And then that is that okay,
And the President's headed here this weekend having to sit down with his old loss
is. Yes, this is going to be quite a star studded affair of
a big, big fundraiser with George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and the old
boss, Barack Obama. A big fundraiser out your way tomorrow evening, all
right, yeah, Saturday, right, big trip Italy to La Yep.
I think there's a NonStop for Air Force one. Yeah, they actually do
have to refuel. Oh, they got to make a quick stop to fuel
up the plane. Even when you're the press way, you can't get a
non stop. When you're the president, You've got to make a ninety minute
stop. He might not get off the plane, but it's at least a
quick stop to get some more fuel. All right, Karen Travis, thank
you so much, have a great weekend. Thank you. Let's get back
to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Governor news Him is deploying another two hundred California National Guard members to the border
to fight fentanyl trafficking. The governor says troops help findil at ports of entry,
including O Tai, Mesa and Sandy Sidro in San Diego. Here in
San Diego at the largest port of entry, Sanya Siedro in the Western Hemisphere,
National Guard now has over three hundred and ninety men and women that are
working not only on the border but throughout the state of California on counter narcotics.
Governor new Sim says a record sixty two thousand pounds of fentanyl were found
at the border last year, as well as nearly six million fentanyl pills so
far this year. The former sheriff of La County has filed a federal lawsuit
against the current sheriff. Alex Vianueva says he's the victim of fraudulent allegations of
racism and the county violated his First Amendment rights and due process. Documents obtained
by KFI News show in twenty twenty three, officials put Vietnueva on the Counties
do not rehire list after an investigation determined he committed harassment and discrimination against Inspector
General Max Huntsman by calling him a Holocaust denier in the media. Vinueva says
the investigation was done in secret and was politically motivated. The two hundred and
forty eight page lawsuit includes confidential files, transcripts, and photos. Steve Gregory
ka finows the vigil has been held in Venice for a woman who died after
being assaulted near the canals. She was one of the two women attacked on
April sixth. Sarah Alden was taken off life support and died last month.
The man accused of attacking the women has been charged with murder, attempted murder,
rape, and other crimes. Nine one one calls in La could soon
be getting responded to by unarmed social workers. Social services workers, instead of
police, are now frequently sent to non violent emergency calls in three LAPD service
areas. Malaca Billups of the city Administrator's office said this week the contract workers
have received more than twelve hundred calls. The collaboration between armed law enforcement and
unarmed crisis responders effectively address his crisis situations. Phillip says when the trial period
is up at the end of August, the city should consider a year long
extension estimated to cost more than ten million dollars in downtown La Michael monks k
I News Universal Studios Hollywood will be offering a buy one, get one free
deal. Prices start at one hundred and nine dollars. There are no blackout
dates for the first visit, but there are some restrictions for the second visit.
The ticket deal is offered through October ninth. It's five thirteen on your
wake up call. Hey, some interesting stuff for moviegoers and would be moviegoers
for the summer. Both Regal and amc are offering some summer movie deals.
And I always like to go to the movie theater, and if it's for
a bargain price, it's even better. So at Regal cinemas, kids are
going to get into movies this summer for a dollar. It's at the seventy
three locations for Regal in California. The offer is going to be good on
Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and it's you know, it's not first run movies,
but it'll be you know, a chance to go to the movies for a
dollar, and then Regal on top of that is also offering a five dollar
popcorn, drinks and snack promotion. It all runs through August seventh, and
then over at AMC they also have a summer deal going on. It starts
June twenty fourth and runs through August fourteenth. It's three dollars movies on Mondays
and Wednesdays. I don't think that it's restricted to kids only, so that's
kind of cool. A new title is going to be offered each week for
Mondays and Wednesdays, and again that's from June twenty fourth through August fourteenth.
And then I thought this was really interesting. Just found out that Sony Pictures
Entertainment is buying Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. And if you I don't know if you
remember, but Nick and I went out and about there not too long ago.
It's so it's kind of like it's like the IPIC but not it's like
a step down from ipick, but not in a bad way. I Pic
is like kind of the krem de la creme when it comes to going to
movies and getting service and stuff. So the the Alamo Draft House is a
cool place used to go see a movie. And what did we have that
we loved? We had the pizza there was pizza was delicious, great,
and they bring you this big old bowl of popcorn and it was it was
great. But they they're buying the Draft House, and so it's the first
major Hollywood studio in like seventy five years to buy a theater chain. It's
apparently they weren't allowed to before. And then Nick and I were talking and
went, hey, wait a second, now, Netflix, which isn't the
major Hollywood chain, but it's a pretty big player. Netflix also bought Grahlman's
Egyptian in Hollywood, and we just went to that theater to see a show
not too long ago. And I'm wondering if it's sort of a trend,
like why are they starting to snap these up? Well? And it feels
like that. And the thing that's funny is Regal has really been facing challenges.
AMC seems to be the one theater that has been surviving pre pandemic and
continuing. So I'm really curious who might be moving in on Regal's territory here
in the near future. So I mean it seems like a great opportunity.
But then the question is that does that mean that we're going to have to
go exclusively to Alamo draft Houses to see Sony Pictures films moving forward? Is
that going to be that's what happens here or I'm wondering because like with the
Netflix thing we saw, we saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?
Is that owned by net? Is it owned by Netflix? No? Or
do they have the rights to it? So it'll be interesting to see how
the players are. But we also talked about when we went to Grammin's that
remember we we saw like three minutes of previews and it was all Netflix stuff
exclusively, which was great. So I'm like, well, if Sony wants
to do that and just do Sony Pictures in the previews and do three minutes
of it, I'm game for that. But I don't know if it's a
new trend, but we'll be watching to see And you know, I'm surprised
too that they're buying theaters when the theaters are struggling so much. M hm,
So what else are they going to do with it? Or maybe they
have exclusive premieres there or something like that. So we'll have to wait and
find out. But in the meantime, I'm always in for a good movie.
So Tesla in self driving mode has slammed into a police cruiser in Fullerton.
The cruiser was pulled over so the officer could do a crash investigation.
Fullerton Police say the driver admitted the car was controlling itself on Wednesday night and
that he was using his cell phone. The police cruiser was hit despite having
its emergency lights on. Several flares were also on the roadway. A man's
been arrested for allegedly punching the manager of a bar in Santa Monica, who
later died. Official say the manager and asked several people to leave Jameson's Pub
on Tuesday. Leonard Corpi is accused of punching the manager, who was pronounced
dead at the hospital. He's being held on two million dollars bail. President
Biden is headed to Los Angeles for fundraising this Father's Day weekend. He's hosting
a campaign fundraiser and having a little sit down conversation with his old boss,
former President Barack Obama. It'll be moderated by Jimmy Kimmel with special guests George
Clooney and Julia Roberts. Let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. So
So, Jim, people used to love or at least like their jobs,
but apparently that's not the case so much anymore. And there's a lot of
lonely people at work. Yeah, but it's not so much not liking their
jobs. It's not liking the work environment. You know, you may love
the mechanics of what you do and what you produce or what you're you know,
what the job is about. But it's the atmosphere. It's where people
are working that is bothering them so much and leading to this loneliness pandemic.
According to Gallup, the Gallup Organization has been doing this survey for like eighty
years and asked one hundred and twenty eight thousand people in one hundred and forty
countries this past year how work was going, and increasingly the answer is not
going so great. People are feeling disengage from their jobs, and they're feeling
personally lonely because in so many cases they don't see anybody during the day except
that computer screen. I mean we see people here. I mean, radio
is generally not a very high trafficked area. But since the pandemic, like,
we don't have the same people around. It's just like the hallways are
empty, the places, all the cubbies that used to be full are still
empty. Yeah. In this so the sales office maybe they're working from home,
and the production people maybe they do their thing from home, and so
you don't it's not the same kind of workplace with the bustling activity and walking
in and saying hello to your friends and your coworkers. And that's leading to
a lot of this unfortunately. So a lot of employers, I think older
employers would be saying, so what you know, you still have your job
to do. Just sit down, do it, go home, keep it.
Yeah, but the two things are interrelated. I mean, how you
feel at work is often reflective of how you feel at home and vice versus
so telling your employee to just buck up and do your job, go home
and try to be happy there. It just hasn't worked that way, and
it's costing the world's gross domestic products something like eight point nine trillion dollars every
year according to Gallop's State of the Global Workplace. How do they even figure
those They just take the productivity is down because worker satisfaction is down, well
right exactly. So they survey one hundred and twenty eight thousand people around the
world asking them how they feel about their engagement, about the effort they put
into it. That's really what this is about, because this phenomenon of quiet
quitting isn't about turning in your resignation going to work somewhere else. It's about
sitting there at your desk and kind of have weight, doing your job and
marking time, watching the clog, finishing and being done with it for the
day, and walking in the other room by the way and grabbing something from
the refrigerator. So that's the cost of this. And so yeah, workers
who say that they're not as engaged are the ones who just aren't proactive.
And is there anything that employers can do to make the workplace less lonely?
Yeah, be interested in your employees, you know, don't snoop into their
personal lives or dealt to deeply, but take an interest in them. And
that's what Gallup has found from these workers from the world's dissatisfied, lonely or
disengaged workers that they don't feel that their bosses or their supervisors care about them,
and very often it's because they never see them right face to face.
Something like forty percent of the world's workforce, or the US workforce, is
still at least part of the time hybrid, you know, or working hybrid,
part of the time working from home, part of the time working in
the in an office, and that may not change much over the next few
decades. So I'm not your boss or anything, Jim, but how are
you feeling? I feel good. I like my job. I've been doing
this for forty two years, I think, and doing a darn good job.
I always enjoy talking. Ay now, I do feel good about where
I work and what I and the people I deal with. Good, good,
good good. That's a good I feel great. I feel great.
I personally love my job. So and I don't get lonely because I gotta.
I sit here with Cono and Ann every morning. Yeah. Yeah,
it's a good time. And Nick's around. I mean, it's like a
little party here, all right. Jim Ryan, thank you so much.
Have a wonderful weekend. Thank you for you all right, the loneliest number
that you. I hope you're not lonely at work. Let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Gun
owners in California, we'll soon be paying more for weapons and ammunition. An
additional eleven percent tax will be added to all purchases starting July first. That's
on top of state and local taxes, and we'll be collected at the time
of delivery, not during the initial purchase. The last day to buy a
gun and avoid the eleven percent excise tax is next Thursday, the twentieth of
June, before five pm. I feel a run coming on the gun shops.
Former President Trump says he understands the struggles the Biden family has had with
the president's son Hunter. Trump wouldn't say whether he thinks Biden should pardon his
son, who is found guilty in a gun case, but did say he
can relate to what the family's going through that whole subject. I understand it
pretty well because I've had it with people have it in their family. It's
a very tough thing. It's a very tough situation for a father. It's
a very tough situation for a brother or sister. Trump's brother Fred, struggled
with alcoholism for much of his life. He died in nineteen eighty one,
at the age of forty two. Russian President Putin has promised a ceasefire in
Ukraine if Kiev withdraws troops from occupied regions and renounces plans to join NATO.
Putin made the comments during a speech at the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow.
The offer likely will not be accepted. Ukraine has been wanting to join NATO
and has demanded that Russia withdraw its troops from Ukraine's territory. Demolition is set
to begin in Florida on the three story classroom building that was the site of
a mass shooting in Parkland. Seventeen people were killed. The families of those
hurt or killed in twenty eighteen have been invited to watch the demolition today,
as the building has taken apart. The building had been kept up to serve
as evidence at the shooter's penalty trail. He's now been sentenced to life without
paroles, so there's no need to keep the building any longer. The Supreme
Court could make more headlines when it releases up to four opinions on the two
dozen cases still outstanding. ABC's Devin Dwyer says the court released a unanimous decision
yesterday that preserves access to a medication used in nearly two thirds of abortions in
the US. More than twenty four cases still yet to be decided by the
end of the month, so a lot on the line, including another major
abortion case. That case deals with the question of whether women in emergency situations
need to be able to have access to abortion in hospitals. Among the other
opinions still to come are two gun cases, one on whether a ban on
guns for dementis stick abusers can stand, and the other on a ban on
bump stocks, which makes a semi automatic rifle fire faster. Another sign that
late night TV is struggling, Late Night with Seth Myers is losing its live
band, The eight G Band, is being let go in September after eleven
seasons because of budget cuts. Keyboardist Eli Janney said the band is going to
pre record some of its music for the show to use next season. Tonight,

Summer classes at cal State LA are going to be held remotely again. Today's
work continues to clean up the student services building that was just trashed by pro
Palestinian protesters on Wednesday night. The president of CSULA has told ro testers who've
been at an encampment for more than a month on campus they've crossed a line
and need to leave. A US Navy submarine has pulled into Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, in an apparent show of force, a day after a fleet of
Russian warships arrived in Cuba. They're planning to carry out military exercises in the
Caribbean. Pentagon officials say the Russian drills do not represent a threat to the
US. Tesla shareholders voted to restore CEO Elon Musk's record forty four point nine
billion dollar pay package. It was thrown out by a Delaware judge earlier this
year. The vote sends a strong note of confidence on his leadership for the
electric vehicle maker. The package is likely to be tied up in the courts
for months as Tesla tries to overturn the Delaware judge's rejection. At six oh
five, Handle on the news, Pope Francis is going to be the first
pontiff to address the G seven and he's sounding the alarms about not declining numbers
at the church. Not a sex scam, but about AI. At five
point fifty, ABC's Jason Nathanson has the scoop on a sequel in theaters and
a prequel on the stream. Right now, let's say good morning to the
host of Home on KFI. It's our house, whisper Dean Sharp. So
Dean, we're looking to the future with some tips that you can prepare for
today. Yes, yes, yes, a couple of big things happening right
now. One has been a news story last couple of weeks, and that
was that the South Coast Air Quality Management District voted last week actually to effectively
phase out certain kinds of natural gas fired water heating equipment all throughout its region.
And its region is La Orange Riverside, San Bernardino County. What does
that mean? It means eventually, eventually, seven hundred thousand pool heaters,
three hundred thousand tankless water heaters, and a bunch more stuff is going bye
bye as far as gas burning heaters, and they will ultimately be replaced by
electric units. So it's another step towards electrification, what we call electric electrification
here in southern California. See, I told you guys, it was going
to be an electrifying conversation, right, that's right. Yeah, all right,
So you're saying eventually, eventually, so it's obviously not happening overnight.
But when does this start. It's starting now, it's starting now, starting
this year. But the good news, you know, a lot of people,
we got a lot of calls when the story broke last week saying,
oh no, what what do you mean, what are they going to do?
No, the appliance Nazis are not going to show up at your house
and take your gas pool heater away. But it is phased in. It's
happening to commercial properties and multi unit dwellings much much faster. The regulations are
taking effect much much faster, generally speaking, and this is general. There
could be some exceptions to this, but generally speaking, homeowners, it's going
to be phased in residentially over the next few years. So you know,
if I could sum up the effect here, whatever you've got by way of
equipment right now, a heater in your home, gas fired furnace, a
gas fired pool heater, or spa heater, this is the last one that
you've got, very very likely. If you're building something brand new starting later
this year, Nope, it's electric from day one. But what you've got
is grandfathered in until it comes to the end of its useful life, but
then plan on replacing it with electric because gas won't be allowed. Okay,
So I find this so interesting because I remember everybody used to have electric heat
in their homes and electric stoves, and everybody, oh, no, that's
bad, go to natural gas. Yes, And so everybody did that,
and natural gas lines were put in all over the place, and now they're
saying, oh no, that's bad, back to electric. I know,
I know. Well, you know what, Actually, it actually does kind
of make sense when you understand the nature of what electric appliances used to be
and what they are now when the electrification first started happening way way back then.
Yeah, there is no way that an old halogen cook top could compete
with a gas cook top. As far as its ability to get the job
done. Now you have induction cooktops. Honestly, they're faster, stronger,
better, they use less energy than gas cook tops, less pollutants, and
so in a lot of ways, it's very very true. Now is the
time we are actually ready to begin making the change. And it's not going
to happen overnight. But the fact of the matter is, heat pumps systems
for a home are far far more fifty percent more energy efficient, and that
means good news for you and me as well as far as what we're paying
every month. But fifty percent more energy efficient than a gas furnace. So
I would argue that the time has come. It usually takes something like this
from the governing authorities to kick us all in the pants and force us to
make the change anyway, And fortunately it looks as though these regulations, all
though stiff, are going to be phased out over a couple three decades.
Okay, and then when I will have two questions. One is whether gas
stoves are next, and the other one I've forgotten. So let's go for
it. Yeah, they are well here in La. In La, gas
stoves are already. That's it. It's already done major remodel new build.
If you have a major remodel permit, meaning you're remodeling more than fifty percent
of your home, that triggers that kind of stuff. And yeah, no
more gas appliance is zero. Here's the thing. If you're building new in
Los Angeles right now today, and this has been the way this way for
some time now, there will not be a gas meter installed for the property
here. It's going to be electric all the way through everything, everything,
everything. So yes, ultimately, yeah, induction cooktops will take over gas
ranges. But like I said, in this case, now we're ready and
induction is really superior to a gas range in so many ways. Okay,
now I remember my other question. As far as costs go, are the
electric ones comparable more expensive? Less expensive? Right now? Yeah, they
are more expensive across the board generally speaking. However, we've seen their prices
drop severely over the last five years, and I would expect that we will
end up in a position when market forces are basically uh, you know,
pushing things to the point where it will take Well, I'll put it this
way. I wouldn't be surprised if everything remained a little bit more expensive than
gas, because let's face it, a gas appliance is an empty tube that
that you basically run gas through and then and then ignite it, whereas an
electrical or induction appliance takes more technology. However, the energy savings is undeniable.
The energy saving when when this uh, when this effort is put into
place, it's going to be like taking a million or so cars off the
road every year. Wow. Okay, so plan for your electrification. And
then we didn't even get a chance to talk about air conditioning, but you're
going to be talking about that this weekend on your show. So you want
to give a little teazy yeah a Sunday Really, Actually, in our world,
big news addicts, we have been doing addicts. You talk about,
you know, like your frustration with what they told us to go electric and
then they went gas, and then we go We have been building addicts pretty
much the same way since you know, for the last hundred years. Uh.
There is a change taking place. Addicts are going to change, and
the way that addicts are going to change is that we're going to insulate them
differently and include them in the air conditioned space of the home. And the
reasons are that it's going to make a massive difference in energy and the way
your HVAC system works. And there are other benefits especially for us here in
southern California, like no bugs, no mice, no rodents, and no
possibility of wildfire embers entering the atticts. Nice. Okay, So Deane's gonna
have a lot more that. That's Sunday from nine to noon, and then
of course you can also listen to Home with Dean Sharp on Saturdays from six
to eight am right here on kfive. Dean Sharp, thank you as always
for the information. Thanks Amy, all right, we'll talk to you next
week. Oh and you can also follow Dean at Home with Dean. Four
people have been arrested after a brawl and a shooting following a graduation ceremony at
the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA. Police say after the ceremony,
someone jumped from the second story balcony and attacked one of the graduates. Several
others got in on the fight. Police say several shell casings were found nearby.
No one was seriously hurt. The California State Senate has passed a bill
that would prohibit schools from adopting certain parental notification policies. The legislation would ban
school districts from requiring staff to notify parents if a student starts using a different
name or pronouns at school. It's set it to the state Assembly. Next,
Frontier Airlines is adding new low fare flights out of Lax. Daily service
to Sacramento is going to be offered starting in August for nineteen bucks each way.
The low cost carriers also adding flights from Lax to Atlanta starting at fifty
nine dollars. Those super low airfares are introductory rates. We're just minutes away
from a handle on the news this morning. Apple just became the most valuable
public company in the US. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jason Nathanson.
And one of my favorite things is Disney, of course, but they've
had some misses lately, like I didn't love Luca, I didn't love Turning
Red. So how do you feel about Inside Out too? Yeah? Inside
Out two is the latest film from Pixar, Disney and Pixar, And you're
right. It used to be that they could print money with any Marvel movie
or any Pixar movie, and then along came the pandemic, and that really
started to change. Those were not guaranteed successes in a lot of those Pixar
movies they put straight to Disney Plus for a couple of years. So this
is looking like Inside Out. The original one in twenty fifteen was a huge
hit, critical, you know, adored, big money maker, and my
favorite Pixar movie of all time. Really, Yeah, absolutely, I just
really loved that world that they created. It was so funny and so original,
and so this is kind of this is a return to that, which
I was a little scared about, given that I loved the first one so
much. But Pixar does historically they've taken their time with sequels. They haven't
rushed them out necessarily. They've waited for good stories. They've waited for to
get it right, and they they got it right with this one. Oh
that's good to hear. Yeah. We go back inside the mind of Riley.
She was eleven when we first met her, and we met the emotions
inside her head joy sadness, angered, disgust, and fear joy voiced by
Amy Poehler. She's thirteen now, she's starting puberty, and there are new
emotions moving in anxiety, which is the chief one embarrassment Envy and on Wii,
which is very funnily portrayed by a French actress who's basically just laying on
a couch the whole time. What is on We mean boredom in the in
the basic words, it's boredom, okay, And so you go back inside
her head and you know there are all these problems because she's now a teenager,
and you know all the problems that come with being a teenager. And
yes, they mentioned the word puberty, but this is Pixar and Disney,
so it's you know, it remains PG enough for little kids, and it
also remains a magical, fantastical and very funny world, which is that's very
important that they have the funny there. There's there's one character who I won't
ruin, but there's a new character who is just my one of my absolute
favorites really time. And we need a new character because there's no bing Bong
in this one, right, there is no bing Bong, but there is
a there is a suitable replacement for bing Bong. As far as I'm concerned,
you don't have to worry. ConA was very, very worried that there
was no bing bong. Yeah, no, I I get it, and
I'm I'm I'm upset about it too, but there there's there's a lot of
good stuff in here. So I was, you know, again, I
was little worried, but no need to be worried. Nine point one out
of ten, nine point one on the Jasonometer, we are in the nines.
Wow, that's impressive. So I'm actually, after talking to you,
I think I'm gonna go see it in the theaters. I was gonna kind
of wait because I was like, yeah, no, go go go see
this in the theaters because I do believe. Yeah, sure you can wait.
But you know, one of the things about this, especially Inside Out,
they do such a great job with light in it, which it sounds
strange for an animated movie, but you know, if you saw the first
one, you know what I'm talking about. And it just looks so beautifully
done and rendered on the screen that I think it's worth it. And it's
also it's it's short, you know, they do a good job. I
think it's ninety minutes. You know, things a Disney movie should be.
They know what they're doing when it comes to stuff like that. And again,
this is a return to the theaters. A couple reasons why you should
see it in the theater. It's a return to the theaters for the Pixar
movies, which is I think a very important thing. But also, you
know, we're down twenty four percent year over year right now at the box
office, so I think, you know, if you want to save cinema,
I think it's a good thing. You got to go watch these films.
And this has just been a bad year so far. So this is
tracking actually to be the highest grossing opening weekend of the year if it beats
June two's eighty two point five million, which I think it will. We're
looking at tracking between eighty and ninety million. Tracking has been very unreliable so
far this year because it's been such a bad year. But if it does
really well, it could be the first one hundred million dollar opening weekend we've
seen in over a year. Okay, cool, And then we're going to
go over to the stream because the Dragons are back. Yes. House of
the Dragons season two, two years after season one debuted, what what the
heck was that? The strike? Or yeah, the strikes had something to
do with it. Although this is one of the shows that actually was able
to keep going because they were filming in the UK and parts of Europe with
with with a lot of casts that wasn't sag after I believe. So they
were filming during parts of the strike. But things just take a lot longer
to make these days. I don't know. Two years is a long time.
So was it worth the wait? Well, I haven't seen it yet,
Oh okay, because this is one of those things where you know,
there are a few shows I like to watch in real time with everybody and
get sharing that kind of cultural reaction because I missed it the first time around
with Game of Thrones. I didn't get into Game of Thrones until season four,
I think, so I missed like the Red Wedding and things like that,
which you know, watching with everybody and reacting on social media was so
such a fun thing, and so I want to have that experience this time
around, and I enjoyed it with the first season. So okay, so
we'll revisit it next week and sort of get an insight from you on it.
I'm very excited though, Okay, all right, boys, Season four
is on Amazon. Yes, remains one of my favorite shows on television.
This is this season. I've watched all the episodes that they gave us,
which I don't normally do, but if I like something, I will.
Nine point two out of ten for me for season four remains one of my
favorite shows on television. So surprising, so raunchy, so bloody, and
they just come. They keep coming up with ways to shock you, which
I really really and be funny at the same time, which I really really
appreciate. Shocking, funny and gory. Yes, okay, all of it
and at nine point two on the Jason, Yes, that's okay, and
then one more before we let you go. I've seen some trailers for this,
but haven't watched it yet. Presumed Innocent, which is on Apple TV
Plus. Yes, and this is a legal thriller from David E. Kelly
who knows what he's doing, based on the book by Scott Turow, which
was turned into a nineteen ninety movie starring Harrison Ford. This is now a
mini series starring Jake Chillenhall, and the first episode in particular was in the
Nines. For me, I was a really good, smart, legal thriller
in which every character is interesting. I've watched all seven since then and it's
dropped a little bit. It didn't keep up with that first one, but
it's still very very good. So overall so far eight point five out of
ten for me, but could have been in the nines. Look at you
all in the eights and nines. This get good week, good week,
good weekend for new stuff. All right, Thank you so much, Jason
Nathanson. Appreciate it, and we'll talk to you next week and we'll get
a first impression on the Game of Thrones prequel. Yes there will be dragons,
