WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:18.239 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County, 3 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:36.479 and you as Amy Kay. Good morning. It's five o'clock. This 4 00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:40.399 is your wake up call for Friday, March twenty second. I'm Amy King. 5 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.679 We've got so much ahead for you. We've got bees, we've got 6 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.200 ghosts, we've got computer chips and brains and so much more. And we're 7 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.079 gonna get you all caught up on what's going on in the world and somehow 8 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.840 managed to have a little fun. Glad you're along for the ride this morning. 9 00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.960 Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. Hollywood Boulevard is getting more bike 10 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.480 and bus lanes and wider sidewalks in an effort to attract tourists and make the 11 00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:10.200 streets safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. The city's Access to Hollywood plan, unveiled 12 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:14.799 yesterday, will take away traffic lanes and more than two hundred parking spots. 13 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.040 The House is set to vote on a government spending package to avoid a partial 14 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.560 government shutdown. It's expected to pass with strong support, despite a group of 15 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.599 conservative members who really want to roll back spending. The deadline to pass the 16 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.079 plan that would fund the government through the end of the fiscal year is midnight 17 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:37.599 tonight. Forecasters say California may be drought free again this year following a wet 18 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.280 winter. Scientists say there's actually an equal chance of rain and snow and higher 19 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.319 than average temperatures for April, May and June. Let's get started with some 20 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:49.359 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. A 21 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:55.120 convicted killer has walked away from a halfway house in Orange County. Ike Suser 22 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.400 was convicted of fatally stabbing his mother when he was thirteen years old. He's 23 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.879 twenty now. He also escaped from juvenile hall and was later sentenced for making 24 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.760 a shank while in the Orange County jail. He pleaded guilty this week to 25 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:12.360 painting graffiti on a freeway underpass. He checked into the halfway house on Wednesday 26 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:16.360 and then left and never returned. Touchups are headed to Hollywood Boulevard. The 27 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:21.599 street is getting protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, and dedicated bus lanes. 28 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.360 LA City Councilman Hugo Soda Martinez says well the project is set to make Hollywood 29 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.039 more walkable. Other issues in the area will be addressed in the future. 30 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.240 Hollywood has a lot of issues. We know we have homelessness, we have 31 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.719 shutter businesses. Construction crews will begin working on the more than three and a 32 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.800 half miles of changes this fall. The project is set to cost about eight 33 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.080 million dollars, with Metro paying most of the bill. On Hollywood Boulevard, 34 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:50.400 Blake Trolley, Kafiez State Farm is dropping more than seventy thousand property and commercial 35 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.240 apartment policies in California. The changes are expected to take effect at the end 36 00:02:54.280 --> 00:03:00.759 of the year. Those impacted should be notified between July third and August twentieth. 37 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.759 One of the fbis Most Wanted has been arrested at the California Mexico border. 38 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.039 Rennie Ivan andris Parada, also known as Lucky to park View, was 39 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:13.080 busted at the Sandy SiGe Report of Entry. Federal law enforcement sources say andris 40 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.639 Parada is a member of MS thirteen's Leadership Council Ramsla Nacional. It used to 41 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:21.759 be called the Twelve Apostles of the Devil. Sources say andris Parada was arrested 42 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.599 March seventh, but wouldn't offer any details about the takedown. Andres Parada is 43 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.639 believed to be one of the most powerful leaders of the worldwide cartel and had 44 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.960 been indicted for dozens of killings in offering material support to terrorists in the US 45 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:37.400 and Central America. Steve Corregory tay if I News. Secretary of State Anthony 46 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.000 Blincoln has met with Israeli leaders in Tel Aviv. He says he's sharing alternatives 47 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.479 to Israel's planned ground assault into the southern Gaza town of Raffa. A major 48 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.919 military operation in Raffa would be a mistake, something we don't support, and 49 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.919 it's also not necessary to deal with Hamas, which is necessary. It's Blencoln's 50 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.120 sixth visit to the region since the war began. In October, a second 51 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.840 flight carrying American citizens out of Haiti has reached the US. The State Department 52 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.560 says the flight, with eighty people on board, landed in Miami yesterday. 53 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:16.040 The US government has encouraged all US citizens to leave Haiti as political unrest and 54 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:21.160 gang violence escalates. Life expectancy in the US has gone up for the first 55 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:26.439 time two years. A report released by the CDC yesterday found that in twenty 56 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.360 twenty two, life expectancy at birth was seventy seven and a half years. 57 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.439 The rate still hasn't reached pre pandemic levels, but COVID was not included in 58 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:40.120 the top three leading causes of death that year. The report says heart disease 59 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:45.319 and cancer were House Republicans have released a budget proposal to raise the age of 60 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:50.240 social security eligibility due to the increased life expectancy. The head of the administration 61 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:56.279 warned against doing so yesterday while at a House committee hearing. He says Americans 62 00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.240 want their government to strengthen social security and expand it, not to cut it 63 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:06.279 or contract it. Now, let's say good morning to ABC's Tom Rivers. 64 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:12.600 Tom sounds like things are getting a little more desperate, or maybe a lot 65 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.879 more desperate in Ukraine, and EU leaders are looking for ways they can help. 66 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:23.040 Yeah, more desperation though among the EU leaders. Two days meeting in 67 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:28.160 Brussels, and you don't have to be a Rhodes scholar to find out that 68 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:32.120 ammunition is very, very slow and in short supply in Ukraine. What to 69 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.120 do about it? Well, over the past two years, Europe has dug 70 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:41.439 a big hole do you keep digging or do you look for alternative options? 71 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.319 And it looks like they're going to be doing more digging, trying to channel 72 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.079 more ammunition to Ukraine itself. Heard some other things too. Over the past 73 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:56.279 few days. We had President Macron. It's got his own domestic personal issues 74 00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:00.800 going on in his country, but he's been floating the idea maybe getting French 75 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:06.680 soldiers on the ground in Ukraine, possibly in Odessa. And there's a great 76 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:14.839 growing schism between the hawkish language of most European leaders and the general population. 77 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.040 Sixty eight percent of the French say no way, We're not getting into World 78 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.920 War III. So that's kind of been shot down. So we keep watching 79 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:28.319 one very very closely. And again it looks like the European Union is on 80 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:32.519 this one way track and they're going to continue to keep funding and trying to 81 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:38.199 do what they can for Kiev, despite the fact many countries are now in 82 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:43.959 recession, having big problems with price of natural gas et cetera, et cetera, 83 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.920 but they see no way of getting off this track. Yeah, and 84 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:56.079 the mentioning of possibly sending French troops to Ukraine, that's something that Putin has 85 00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.879 I don't know if you want to call it saber rattling, but he said, 86 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.519 don't even go there, that that would be a provocation of another level. 87 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:11.800 Yeah, but does that surprise you No, well, exactly. One 88 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.959 of the other options Brussels is looking at now. Of the billions and billions 89 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:20.439 of Russian assets that are frozen in central banks in Europe, one idea that 90 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:26.079 the European Union is very controversially looking at is to take the interest on that 91 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:31.959 and use that to supply ammunition for the Ukraine side. It would work out 92 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:38.360 a little over three billion dollars a year US dollars per year. And guess 93 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.920 what, just like your last question, Moscow says, that will be met 94 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.800 with a very very strong response if you want to go down that road. 95 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:53.279 Yeah. And so is the situation in Ukraine? Tom, Are they holding 96 00:07:53.319 --> 00:08:00.360 their ground? Are they losing ground? Do we know Ukraine's Ukraine is losing 97 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.360 They're losing the war. For every shell they fire now at the eastern side 98 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:09.399 of their country, ten shells come in the other direction. You know, 99 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.600 if you put it in parlance of American sports, you're, you know, 100 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.759 the Green Bay Packers versus your local park board team right now. Uh, 101 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.519 it's one way traffic and it's really difficult to see how that's going to be 102 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.240 changing. Okay, so the and for the EU leaders too, Russia is 103 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.360 in their backyard. I mean for US it's a big deal, but Russia 104 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.559 is right there. And well again though the expansion is Russia been expanding into 105 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:41.960 Europe or is Europe been expanding towards Russia? M okay, so maybe Russia 106 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:46.879 is just fighting back. Well, they almost said they wanted Ukraine neutral. 107 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.440 You know, we go back to the days when everything changed with the fall 108 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.519 of the wall in Germany. And at that time we had Gorbachev saying, 109 00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:01.759 yes, you can have Germany united in the NATO full, but do not 110 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.279 come close to our border, similar to do not put Soviet missiles in Cuba, 111 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.000 And that was heated for about seven years until Clinton changed the dynamics. 112 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.960 And back then, thirty years ago, you had sixteen countries in NATO. 113 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.919 You know how many have now double that? Right exactly, We've got twice 114 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:24.120 as many now. So there's a line. It's a red line for Moscow. 115 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.039 You may not like it, but they're saying, no, this is 116 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.759 not going to be changed. We're going to fight tooth and nail to do 117 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.080 what we have to do, and what they see is Mission Creep and getting 118 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.960 closer and closer to the Russian border. Yeah, and either way to EUSE 119 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:45.720 Council. President says that they're facing the biggest security threats since the Second World 120 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.559 War. So it'll be interesting to see what happens in interesting as well. 121 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:54.279 Yeah, a European commissioned president. She's looking for a re election as well. 122 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.519 This week she told Finland that at least you should do some preparations in 123 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:05.240 case there is a third World War. She was interviewed over here in Europe 124 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.759 as well, and she was asked directly, would you be willing to put 125 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.600 your kids in uniform and sent to Ukraine? And she laughed, she said 126 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:20.679 no way. So hence the schism between the governments, the leaders in Europe 127 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.000 and the general population over here. Yeah. Okay, Tom Rivers, thank 128 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.639 you so much for the information. Appreciate it. Thank you. All right, 129 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:30.720 let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 130 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.720 four hour newsroom. A judge in la is set to request from prosecutors to 131 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:41.879 revoke Rebecca Grossman's jail phone privileges. The co founder of the Grossman Burne Foundation 132 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.840 is accused of making improper and possibly illegal calls since she was convicted of killing 133 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.360 two young boys with her car in twenty twenty. A woman in Burbank has 134 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:58.120 been arrested for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend during what police call a domestic assault. 135 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.360 Officers responded to Vickro Park yesterday where they saw the woman, who was naked, 136 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.879 chasing the man while holding a bloody knife. She was arrested on suspicion 137 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.080 of attempted murder. The guy needed surgery, but he's expected to survive. 138 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.159 Governor Newsom has celebrated the passage of Proposition one, surrounded yesterday by local officials. 139 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.120 He says the state has done its part and now more work is needed 140 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.360 at the local level. We need to see the cities and counties be full 141 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:30.279 partners and participants in advancing this effort. Prop one passed with fifty point two 142 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:35.440 percent of the vote despite thirteen million dollars spent to support the campaign, only 143 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.879 one thousand dollars was spent by its opponents. It'll provide more than six billion 144 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.759 dollars in funding for homeless housing, as well as drug and mental health, 145 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:50.000 mental illness treatment centers, so many things to do and see around Southern California 146 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.159 every weekend, and so we're bringing in the expert, Nick Poliochanne has Nick's 147 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.840 top picks for the weekend. Nick, give us some of your favorite things 148 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.720 that people might want to check out this weekend. So as of yesterday, 149 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.879 it was just the sixtieth anniversary of SeaWorld in San Diego, and so that 150 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.440 is kicking off a four day a stint all the way through Sunday. You 151 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.399 can check that out. And also this summer it's going to be a huge 152 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.919 celebration of the sixty years of SeaWorld down in San Diego. So one hundred 153 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.000 and ten percent worth your time to make that trip a little bit south of 154 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.080 us. And also something fun, and this is something we talked about here 155 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.000 on KFI quite a bit. Comedians versus AI. Stage against the Machine is 156 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.440 a bunch of really well known comedians that'll be taking the stage against Yes Chat 157 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.840 GBT here in La So it's a very interesting situation where they'll be given a 158 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.440 prompt for the comedians and AI and they'll go head to head on the stage, 159 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.559 so like an improv thing exactly. It's totally improv. But it's kind 160 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.120 of like if you remember they had Jeopardy versus that Microsoft Winston computer, it 161 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.799 was Ken Jennings a few years ago, so think of that's smart versus smart. 162 00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:00.200 This is funny versus computer. So that interesting though to see the if 163 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.919 AI is funny. Yeah, I agree with you on that one. I 164 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.120 mean, I'm really curious to see how that plays out because we've heard so 165 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.559 many things of audio recordings and mimicking of human voices, and then to see 166 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.679 that people are worried about it taking over things in Hollywood. So we'll see 167 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.480 really how that plays out. This is something that will be happening monthly. 168 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.759 So that is the first installment of that happening. When that one's gonna be, 169 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.600 it's gonna be here in La So let's say I don't have off the 170 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.080 top of my head where the location is. It's gonna be at the Lyric 171 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:33.120 Hyperion Theater and Bar, which is not too far from downtown La. Okay, 172 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.639 And is that that's this weekend? Obviously? Okay, that's this weekend. 173 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.840 And then what's your third top pick? Third top pick is going to 174 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.399 be down in Orange County. It's the sixty fourth annual Swallows Day Parade and 175 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.039 Mercando Street Fair, the celebration of the Fiesta de las Goldrinas, which is 176 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.759 the swallows that come back every March. The nineteenth was the actual celebration of 177 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.080 it, which is Saint Joseph's Day, but San Juay Capistrano, the Mission 178 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.120 will be celebrating specifically. If you've never it's absolutely insane and it's one of 179 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:05.559 those traffic incidents that happens on the weekend, so it really falls into my 180 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.879 wheelhouse. But if you've never been to the Swallow's Day Parade, it's really 181 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.440 an amazing time. And as far as I understand, Tim Conway Junior and 182 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.639 crew will be there as well. I heard Bill Handle might be making an 183 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.279 appearance. I mean, if he's living in Orange County these days, or 184 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.879 you know, if he's making a plan to move down there, it totally 185 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.000 makes sense. And isn't San Juan I haven't been to San Juan capis Front. 186 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.600 I think I was there maybe when I was a kid, But isn't 187 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.919 it just really cool. It's a beautiful place, and it's right off the 188 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.000 five at or take a highway, and that's where you'll see the most traffic 189 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.960 this weekend because the activities will be going down for that. But it's a 190 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.039 beautiful area. It really is nice. And then if you are you know, 191 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:45.159 fourth grader in the state of California and studying missions, it is one 192 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.039 of those missions from back in the day with Unibrosera. So okay, it's 193 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.759 a good opportunity, all right. So those are the three top picks from 194 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.600 Nick. But with so many things going on around southern California, where can 195 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.519 they get more and more and more?

Thank you so much, Nick. When we come back, 199 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:16.919 a paralyzed man is learning to move again thanks to Elon Musk. It's totally 200 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.279 high tech and potentially life saving stuff. Really interesting, So don't go anywhere. 201 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.320 You're listening to Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI AM six forty. 202 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:30.200 The family of a fifteen year old boy who was shot to death at a 203 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.480 home in Apple Valley earlier this month has filed a legal claim against the San 204 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:39.000 Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. The family claims the department knew he had autism, 205 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.519 and says deputies had been called to the house at least five other times. 206 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.600 The UN Security Council will vote today on a US sponsored Gaza ceasefire resolution. 207 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.759 It warns against an Israeli military offensive in the southern city of Rafa and strongly 208 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.279 condemns restrictions that prevent AID from getting into the Gaza strip. The resolution also 209 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:03.559 calls for an immediate ceasepe All nine Star Wars movies are coming back to movie 210 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.559 theaters. The re releases are to celebrate the twenty fifth anniversary of The Phantom 211 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.080 Menace. The movies will be released in order through the summer, starting on 212 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.799 Star Wars Day, May the fourth, at six oh five, It's handle 213 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.000 on the news. The Dodgers' Mookie Bets is putting down his bat and turning 214 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.279 to chicken. Tell you about that. Right now, let's say good morning 215 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:27.600 to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, we're going to talk about an 216 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:33.639 implant in your brain, which is super exciting and super scary all at the 217 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.080 same time. Yeah, I think you're right, and others I've talked with 218 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:40.200 this morning, Like, what's so scary about this? What's the issue? 219 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:44.240 Well, you're right, it's called a brain computer interface. The BCI, 220 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.639 amy and lots of companies have been working on this for the last several years, 221 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.519 but this Neurallink. Since the company was founded by Elon Musk, it's 222 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.480 getting a lot more attention because it's Elon Musk, right, and he and 223 00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:03.039 Neurallink released a video on Wednesday, a nine minute video that shows Nolan Arbaugh, 224 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:07.160 a twenty nine year old from here in Texas, doing things with his 225 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.039 mind. He was paralyzed in an accident a few years ago, paralyzed from 226 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.319 the shoulders down, but using his mind, and in this video he's looking 227 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:21.039 at a computer screen. He's able to use his thoughts to move the cursor 228 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:25.480 around and to move chess pieces on a computer screen around. Says he can 229 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.920 play another video game that he hasn't been able to play since the accident, 230 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.480 simply by using his mind. So Muralink says that it's evidence that this actually 231 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:40.119 works. I just don't eat. My brain just can't even wrap itself around 232 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.599 how that would work. But obviously there are many smarter people than I, 233 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.880 So that's a first step. So can he can think about moving the cursor 234 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:56.720 around. And now they're saying this is going to lead to more things, 235 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.000 that it's going to be a lot bigger than moving a cursor around a screen. 236 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.359 Yeah, that's true. And other companies have been working on this, 237 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.720 as I said, Australian company among them, has found ways to use a 238 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:14.000 patient's thought to move their limbs. Right, So your legs are paralyzed, 239 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:18.519 but using thought you may be able to move your legs and eventually to walk 240 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.160 again, which would be amazing. This has been advancing, I think, 241 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.880 kind of under the radar for a few years now. The FDAD give its 242 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.559 approval to Near a Link to do this kind of testing, and now even 243 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:33.039 Nolan to Arball, the kid involved in this one, the twenty nine year 244 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.319 old, I should say, des urging other people with paralysis issues to sign 245 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.000 up and take part in studies. But a near a Link out of other 246 00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:45.480 companies too, so it's you know, the possibilities are almost limitless, and 247 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:51.519 of course that's being near a Link. Elon Musk himself has said that he'd 248 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:56.160 like to have this thing planted in his brain, even though he's perfectly healthy, 249 00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:59.559 in order to get access to the internet wherever he might be. Just 250 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.000 think about the Internet and then you're on the internet, or make a phone 251 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.400 call. Think about that and make a phone call without a phone. Yeah, 252 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:12.640 there are some scary implications here. I think, amy uh yeah, 253 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:17.119 And I think having more Internet is a bad thing, not a good thing. 254 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:22.240 It's just easier ac Yes, do we know of any kind of side 255 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.799 effects or anything? Is he having any kind of weird reactions to having a 256 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.240 chip in his brain? No, he is not. Thinks about the size 257 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.440 of a quarter, maybe a little smaller than a quarter, implanted physically into 258 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:38.680 the brain by a robot surgeon who got a hole in the skull, implanted 259 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:44.319 this thing, then closed up and and now he's got this chip in his 260 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:45.599 brain. There the other the other company that's working on this, So one 261 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.480 of them, the one in Australia, actually went through a jugular vein and 262 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:55.079 so very much like putting in a stent, they sent this tube up into 263 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:59.079 the brain. It leaves this little mesh tube there, and that mesh tube 264 00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:03.000 then has the electronics that can sense thoughts and do things with that. But 265 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.799 yeah, it's the possibilities are endless, and they're a little scary too. 266 00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:15.720 Also regarding side effects, neuralink has been criticized for animal testing that there were 267 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:21.480 lots of you know, monkeys that die that they had severe infections, painful 268 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.440 side effects from the implantation of this device and had to be put down, 269 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:29.920 and you know, so, yeah, there are potential side effects and I 270 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.680 think they saw some of those in this animal testing. Either way, like 271 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:36.359 I said, it's going to be scary, but it's also very exciting, 272 00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.400 so we'll keep watching it is. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see where 273 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:44.720 we are. They started this what ten twelve years ago I mentioned, more 274 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:47.559 will be ten or twelve years from now in this area. Yeah, all 275 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.559 right. ABC's Jim Ryan, thank you so much for the information. See 276 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:55.519 me. House and Senate negotiators have released the text of a massive spending package 277 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.400 aimed at avoiding a partial government shutdown. ABC Stephen Portnoy says the one point 278 00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:03.480 two trillion dollar measure would provide funding for several agencies through the end of the 279 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.960 current fiscal year. Congress will have to act at breakneck speed to meet the 280 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.680 Friday Night funding laps deadline. The thousand page bill increases migrant detention beds and 281 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.440 staffing to the border patrol, it provides a boost to head start and childcare 282 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.720 programs. He says the bill does not include funding for the UN Agency for 283 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:26.160 Palestinian Refugees. California Republican Senate candidate Steve Garvey's reportedly deep in the hole with 284 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.559 state and federal taxes. Garvey's February financial disclosure statement shows he owes at least 285 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:33.960 three hundred fifty thousand and up to seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars in back 286 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.920 taxes from twenty eleven. He says he also owes eight percent entrance interest on 287 00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:42.720 the balance. Due Garvey's going to face off against Adam Schiff in November for 288 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:48.319 California's open Senate seat. The House Judiciary Committee sued two Department of Justice tax 289 00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:53.240 attorneys involved in the investigation of Hunter Biden. The lawsuit alleges Mark Daily and 290 00:21:53.319 --> 00:22:00.480 Jack Morgan defied previous subpoenas to testify in their investigation of President Biden's sun. 291 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:06.160 The Justice Department says the attorneys have cooperated with the Republican lad panel and will 292 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:11.200 respond in court.

Thanks for starting your day with us today. Here's what we're 309 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.839 following in the KFI twenty four news room. Hollywood Boulevard getting more bike and 310 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:27.799 bus lanes and wider sidewalks in an effort to attract tourists and increased pedestrian safety. 311 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:33.039 The city's so called Access to Hollywood plan, unveiled yesterday, will take 312 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.519 away traffic lanes and more than two hundred parking spots. It's expected to be 313 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:40.400 completed by the middle of next year. Authorities in Orange County are on the 314 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.640 hunt for a convicted murderer who walked away from a halfway house. The Orange 315 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:48.039 County DA's office says this is the third time twenty year old Iike Sauser has 316 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.119 escaped from custody. He stabbed his mother to death when he was thirteen years 317 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.319 old. He's considered extremely dangerous and violent. New York Attorney General Letitia James 318 00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:02.240 has taken the first steps towards seizing some of former President Trump's assets, targeting 319 00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:04.960 his golf course in private estate. Trump has until Monday to post a four 320 00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:10.000 hundred and sixty four million dollar bond in a civil fraud case, or convince 321 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.880 an appeals court to let him post a smaller amount until after he appeals the 322 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:17.160 decision. At six o five, it's handle on the news. The deadline 323 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:21.240 is just hours away. Can lawmakers get their job done and keep the government 324 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:23.039 funded? Bill's going to give you the latest on that. At five point 325 00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.359 fifty, we're going to be checking in with Jason Nathanson about what's new in 326 00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.920 theaters and on the stream and whether they're worth a watch. But right now, 327 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:36.599 it's time to talk about being very happy with the house. Whisperer Dean 328 00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:41.119 Sharp, I know, good morning Amy, Hi Dean. So it's it's 329 00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.279 about to be B season. It is, in fact, it is B 330 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:49.759 season. It's already right now. Tina and I were actually sitting in our 331 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:56.440 backyard last week and on one of our sunny days last week, and a 332 00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.599 cloud of bees just kind of temporarily flew over the backyard. We're like, 333 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:04.079 yep, it's time. Spring is here. It's happening, okay. So, 334 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:10.759 and when people see clouds of bees, they get a little nervous, 335 00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:14.240 like they freak out. They totally freak out. We know our very own 336 00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:17.160 mo Kelly. I mean, he every time I would bring up the subject 337 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.319 of bees when I was on his show with him, he would just like 338 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:22.359 cringe and freak out. I'm like, bees are good, and he's like, 339 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.000 just keep them away from me. Yeah, it's true, and you 340 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.480 know, and that's allowed a lot of people are afraid of bees. And 341 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:33.440 you know, people have been stung by bee. I've been stung a few 342 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:36.319 times. I'm a bee keeper. I've got bees in my backyard. Oh 343 00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:41.359 you do. I love that. I've got about thirty thousand little ladies sitting, 344 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:42.920 you know, twenty feet away from me right now, so you get 345 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:47.359 fresh honey from them? Yes, we do, Yes, we do tons 346 00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:51.400 of it. Cool is that? But most importantly, you know, and 347 00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:56.079 I've been stung on occasion as well, and then it's no fun. Okay. 348 00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.200 But here's the thing. You know, we all know. I think 349 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:03.440 at this point that bees are good for us. They are good for everybody, 350 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:10.000 and that is both in a rural and an urban environment. Bees are 351 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:14.519 really really important in both cases. They're responsible, They're going to be responsible 352 00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:22.319 this year as always for pollinating eighty percent of the pollinating flowers and trees out 353 00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.319 there, and they're responsible for about one third of the food that's sitting in 354 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.359 our supermarkets. So they are a critical keystone species. And I know you 355 00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.559 can say that all day long, and at the end of the day people 356 00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:34.920 are like, yeah, but they freak me out. And I don't want 357 00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:38.160 to hive hanging off a tree in my front yard. And the thing that 358 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:42.119 I wanted to share with you this morning is that's not a hive. And 359 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:48.240 people do not have to overreact to a swarm of bees. And when we 360 00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:55.160 say swarm, swarm is a very special word in bee parlance. It doesn't 361 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:59.119 just mean a bunch of bees. A swarm is a very specific thing. 362 00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:03.759 It is a colony of bees that has just broken off from another hive. 363 00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:08.039 It's a hive reproducing itself. So it's it's it's like a stock split. 364 00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:12.680 It is okay, it is exactly like a stock split. So they and 365 00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:18.240 swarms happen in the spring. It's how we get more bees and more bee 366 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:23.680 colonies. So the old queen has allowed the birth of a new queen inside 367 00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:27.400 the hive. She's left the new queen behind. She's taken about a third 368 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:32.519 of her workers with her, and now they are off looking for a new 369 00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:37.559 home. That's a swarm. A swarm has They've filled their bellies up with 370 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.359 as much food as they can. That's their last meal until they find their 371 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:48.400 home. They are incredibly docile, like after a Thanksgiving dinner kind of docile. 372 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:55.799 They have They have no interest in humans whatsoever unless we agitate them. 373 00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.839 All they're looking to do is find themselves a new place. And so when 374 00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:02.839 you if you go outside and you're in the backyard and you're like, oh, 375 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:06.680 oh my gosh, there's a there's a there's a hive of bees hanging 376 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:11.000 on my back fence or off my tree, don't panic bring the dogs in 377 00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:18.279 so that they don't bug them, but just let them be. They they 378 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:23.480 are hopscotching their way across town right now looking for their new permanent home. 379 00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:27.400 That is not a home. A pile of bees hanging from a tree is 380 00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:32.519 not a home. It's just a temporary resting spot. I guarantee you, 381 00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:36.559 okay, So leave them alone and they'll move on on their own. Just 382 00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:41.079 don't bug them exactly anywhere from twelve to forty eight hours, they'll be gone. 383 00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:45.359 You don't have to call an exterminator or hose them down, which is 384 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.920 the worst thing you could do. Just let them be and they'll move on. 385 00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:52.359 I just love that. Let them be, okay, and what if 386 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.880 one does land and they decide to set up a hive at your house, 387 00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:02.039 then what do you do that. That's the thing to be concerned about. 388 00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:04.920 Again. A hive is not where you see a bunch of bees exposed. 389 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:08.640 A hive is where you'll go out and maybe be looking at the corner of 390 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.920 your house and you're like, hey, why are there a few bees flying 391 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:15.160 in and out and around the facia border at the top of my roof. 392 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:21.039 Now we have an indication because hives are hidden, right, they hide themselves 393 00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:23.759 from predators. If you see bees flying in and out of a little tiny 394 00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:29.079 crack in the corner of your roof, now we've got concerns that we've got 395 00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:33.599 a hive going on inside and it should not as good as it is to 396 00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.400 have bees around. We don't need bees with hives in your roofline or your 397 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.200 structures. And that is when you call somebody to deal with it. But 398 00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:47.599 still don't call an exterminator, because just killing the bees is not going to 399 00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:49.200 be good for the bees, nor will it be good for your home, 400 00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:53.839 because they're temperature controlling everything that's going on in there while they're alive, and 401 00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:59.279 when they're gone, the honey, the wax it starts dripping down inside your 402 00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:03.000 walls, caused mold and mildew. Not a good thing. The thing to 403 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.599 do, especially here in southern California, because we have these resources, is 404 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:12.519 to call a live be removal service. They will come, they will harvest 405 00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:17.559 the hive, they'll get everything out of your wall. They'll do it for 406 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:22.599 at the same price, if not less usually than an exterminator. And then 407 00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.240 they'll take those bees off to a rescue and re home them be rescue. 408 00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:33.720 There are b reveues. There's a massive b rescue in Porter Ranch in the 409 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.599 North San Fernando Valley. That's so funny. And you know what, if 410 00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:40.240 you don't believe us that bees are good, go watch the bee movie. 411 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:42.519 We need bees, Yes, we do. Do you remember that one, 412 00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:47.599 the movie with Jerry Seinfeld. Yeah, and it was funny, but it 413 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:52.000 was actually very prophetic because we're having problems keeping the bees alive and thriving. 414 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.079 Thank you, Dean. Deane's going to be talking more about bees because springtime 415 00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.920 is bee time. And you can listen this weekend sick to eight am right 416 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:04.720 here on KFI to the House Whisper. Also Home with Dean is on Sundays 417 00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:10.000 from nine to noon, or you can follow him at home with Dean. 418 00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:15.079 Thank you, Dean, Thanks Amy. You're listening to Wake Up Call on 419 00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:19.039 demand from KFI Am six forty. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty 420 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.759 four hour newsroom this Friday morning. A street vendor has been killed by a 421 00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:26.160 stray bullet in Long Beach. Officials say he was caught in the crossfire of 422 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.440 a shooting Wednesday afternoon down the block from where he was working. The police 423 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:34.440 have not made any arrests. One in six municipal jobs in the city of 424 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:41.759 Los Angeles is unfilled. City Controller Kenneth Mahea says crucial functions in finance, 425 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.759 general services, transportation and recreation, and parks are affected because of the vacancies. 426 00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:49.440 At least ten city departments or bureaus have vacancy rates of at least twenty 427 00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:53.839 five percent. All nine Star Wars movies coming back to movie theaters. The 428 00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:59.319 re releases are to celebrate the twenty fifth anniversary of The Phantom Menace. The 429 00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:04.480 movies will be released in order through the summer, starting on Star Wars Day, 430 00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.440 May the fourth. We're just minutes away from Handle on the news this 431 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:10.839 morning. Former President Trump has until Monday to come up with a massive million 432 00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:15.279 dollar, multi million dollar bond so he can appeal that civil fraud case. 433 00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:20.480 But the New York Attorney General isn't waiting until Monday to start making moves to 434 00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:24.680 seize his stuff. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jason Nathanson. 435 00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:30.119 Who are you gonna call? Ghostbusters? Yeah? Okay, so the 436 00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:35.720 new Ghostbusters is out and you haven't had a chance to see it yet. 437 00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.039 But what are you hearing as or as rumblings? Well, it's gonna win 438 00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:40.480 the weekend. In terms of box office, we're looking at forty five million 439 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.599 dollars, which is a good start and something we desperately need. We've had 440 00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:50.279 a couple of good weeks over the past month or so with June and Kung 441 00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:53.559 Fu Panda, but we're still ten percent behind last year in terms of box 442 00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:58.200 office because we had a really slow start this year. So that's good for 443 00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:01.960 the box office. Critics have not been so high on Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. 444 00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:07.319 It's a forty four percent on Rotten Tomatoes right now from critics, but in 445 00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:12.759 the first Thursday night showings it's eighty six percent from audiences, really audiences. 446 00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:16.680 I mean, and you know we've seen that before. Yeah, so audiences 447 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:20.599 are digging it. So that means the box office is probably gonna be good 448 00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:23.119 this weekend. And if you're a Ghostbusters fan, you have, you know, 449 00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:29.119 all the original guys who are still left or were teaming up with this 450 00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:31.720 new cast, including Paul Rudd and some of the others, and they're back 451 00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:36.720 in New York where the first film, the first reboot film in twenty twenty 452 00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:40.920 one, was out in the fields of Ohio or yeah, something like that. 453 00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:45.599 So you get to go back to New York, you get the Firehouse, 454 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:51.440 you get a top secret research lab that the Ghostbusters have been using and 455 00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:55.480 making, and so a lot of nostalgia in terms of that. Yeah, 456 00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:59.720 so I would. I won't elaborate because we've got other stuff to talk about, 457 00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.240 but I was disappointed with it. We went and saw it yesterday. 458 00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:06.519 I mean, there are parts of it. It was definitely nostalgic. It 459 00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:09.280 definitely had that cool Ghostbusters vibe, the same one from the original, which 460 00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:15.719 I think is very fun. Sure, but there were several problems with it. 461 00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:21.440 So just don't set your expectations too high. I think most people going 462 00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:24.480 probably don't have super high expectations. I'm guessing, Okay, let's go to 463 00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:30.400 the stream. Jake Jillenhall, he's looking a little buffed. If you want 464 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:35.440 to see Jake Jillenhall shirtless a lot, then Roadhouse is the film for you, 465 00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:38.440 which is a remake of the nineteen eight and I'm Patrick Swayze cult classic 466 00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:45.760 which was panned by critics terribly when it first came out, but found life 467 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:50.119 afterwards and people really seemed to kind of grow to like it. I don't 468 00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:53.320 know why this movie of all movies is being remade. It makes absolutely no 469 00:34:53.400 --> 00:35:00.119 sense to me. But and with Jake Jillenhall, who is a fantastic actor, 470 00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:04.599 and we really, I feel don't see enough in good stuff. It's 471 00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:08.239 a strange pick for me, but he is so good and charismatic and really 472 00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:13.760 kind of carries this film, which is kind of delightful. I mean it 473 00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:19.000 has delightful. Yeah, it has serious problems. I think the last fight 474 00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:22.519 scene goes on way too long, and it's one of those where they hit 475 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.920 each other so many times in such brutal hits that you're like, there's no 476 00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:30.880 way anybody could survive Two of these punches. Yeah, much less fifteen of 477 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:34.880 them. But that said, Jake Jollenhall is very good. Connor McGregor, 478 00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:37.440 who makes his film debut The UFC Champ, is a lot of fun. 479 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:43.559 He plays a really crazy kind of villain type guy. And you know, 480 00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:47.800 the basic premise is that Jake Jillenhall is a former UFC fighters hit tough times. 481 00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:52.320 He ends up as a bouncer for this Florida Keys bar. I like 482 00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:54.639 the setting. It makes you kind of want to at least go on vacation, 483 00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:59.159 if not moved to the Florida Keys and just have that kind of easy 484 00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:01.920 way of life on the water there, you know, except for the alligators 485 00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:07.719 and crocodiles and things like that. But you know, otherwise, it's it's 486 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:12.039 fun, it's funny, it's campy. It doesn't take itself too seriously. 487 00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:15.559 Oh good, which it knows exactly what it is, which I appreciate, 488 00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:20.719 okay, and which which streaming services that's on Prime Video? Oh I have 489 00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:22.840 that one. Maybe maybe I'll be watching it this weekend. Okay. And 490 00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:30.119 then there's also a biopic of Shirley Chisholm, yes called Shirley and I think 491 00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:34.800 I need a history lesson because I do not remember this or this person. 492 00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:37.599 Yes. So the Regina King stars as Shirley Chisholm, who was the first 493 00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:42.800 Yeah, and she's great. And Shirley chism was the first black woman elected 494 00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:45.960 to Congress, Okay, and then she became the first black woman to run 495 00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:49.119 for president in nineteen seventy two. So I knew she was in Congress. 496 00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.320 I didn't realize that she ran for president. Yeah. And so this focus 497 00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:55.159 is on that year that she ran for president, which I appreciated a biopic 498 00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:58.719 because you know, sometimes they try to do too much, they try to 499 00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:01.679 tell too much of somebody's life story and it just gets all watered down. 500 00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:07.199 So this one, focusing on just this year of this extraordinary woman's life, 501 00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:13.239 is a really good choice. And much like Jake Chillenhall Carey's Roadhouse, Regina 502 00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:17.960 King Carrie Shirley. She's fantastic in this. I question Netflix as to why 503 00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:23.800 they're putting this out now when they just saw great Oscar success in getting nominations 504 00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:30.760 for Rustin and for Maestro, two movies that kind of had split opinions but 505 00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:34.719 had really fantastic performances. I think Regina King could have gotten maybe a nomination 506 00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.119 for this. I mean, I think she's really really good in it. 507 00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:42.920 Overall the film. I think she's better than the film is as a total 508 00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:46.599 but fascinating life, fascinating woman and definitely worth a watch. Okay, and 509 00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:52.079 then I just saw a promo for this because I was getting my weekly fix 510 00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:59.440 of my Apple TV shows and saw that Palm Royal just debuted on Apple TV 511 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.840 with Kristin Wig. Yeah, this is kind of a skippet show. I 512 00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:10.239 love Kristin Wig. I love Alison Janney who's in this. I love Carol 513 00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:15.079 Burnett who is in this as well. But this show doesn't really know exactly 514 00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:19.039 what it is or what it's trying to do. Kristen Wig stars as a 515 00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:23.960 woman in eighteen sixty nine trying to break into the Palm Beach country club scene. 516 00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:29.079 She doesn't fit in that they don't like her. They spot her immediately, 517 00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:32.519 but she tries really hard to get in. It's the tone is kind 518 00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:36.320 of all over the place. It's slapstick, it's funny, it's serious. 519 00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:40.239 It just doesn't really know what it wants to be. I think I watched 520 00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:45.079 a couple of episodes. I'm not sure I'm gonna keep watching. Okay, 521 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:47.880 So if you have absolutely nothing left to do, and there are lots of 522 00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:51.440 good shows to stream, but if you have nothing left to do, maybe 523 00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:53.320 Palm Royal Els for you. Now, there's some other stuff I'd watched before 524 00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:57.360 that. Okay, Jason Nathanson, thanks so much for your time and all 525 00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:00.320 of your great insight. Again, sure they take it all right, Let's 526 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:01.639 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 527 00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:07.039 newsroom. A UN Security Council is said to vote on a resolution declaring an 528 00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:13.079 immediate and sustained ceasefire in Gaza is imperative to protect civilians and allow for the 529 00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:17.559 delivery of humanitarian aid. ABC's and as Delicaterra says. The resolution is sponsored 530 00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:22.880 by the US Supporting to Reuters, the latest version of the draft resolution proposes 531 00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:30.039 a ceasefire that would last roughly six weeks. US Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield says 532 00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:34.840 she's optimistic the draft resolution will be approved by the fifteen member council. Russia's 533 00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:38.840 deputy UN ambassador says Moscow won't be satisfied with anything that doesn't call for an 534 00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:45.239 immediate ceasefire and question the strength of the word imperative. Scientists with NASA's JPL 535 00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:51.199 say the recent El Nino storms have caused sea levels to rise. Researchers noted 536 00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:54.519 during El Nino events, rainfalls into the oceans and not onto land, whereas 537 00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:59.840 Law Nina storms drop rain onto land and not into oceans. From twenty twenty 538 00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:02.320 two two to twenty twenty three, scientists say the global average sea level rose 539 00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:06.559 by three tenths of an inch, one of the biggest jumps since NASA started 540 00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:10.000 monitoring sea levels thirty years ago. To put it into perspective, researchers say 541 00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:14.760 the total rise is equivalent to draining a quarter of Lake Superior into the ocean 542 00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.480 over a year's time. Since nineteen ninety three, the average sea level has 543 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:22.440 risen four inches. Steve Gregory kaya Fine News and speaking of the CE SeaWorld 544 00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:28.000 San Diego is celebrating at sixtieth anniversary this weekend. Had a vision of creating 545 00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:32.280 a marine mammal part that's entertaining and at the same time providing an atmosphere of 546 00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:38.119 conservation, education, rescue, rehabilitation, and then returning to the wild for 547 00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:44.679 animals. Seaworlds Byron Sirett says SeaWorld is so much more than just killer whales. 548 00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:47.599 We've rescued over forty one thousand animals and returned to the wild, and 549 00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:52.679 at the same time, we continue to embrace the atmosphere of a fun time 550 00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:57.440 for the guests.
