This is your wake up call for
Friday, September twenty ninth. I'm

5
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.719
Amy King, thrilled that you're with
us this morning. I gotta say I'm

6
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.799
a little bum though, as we
start this Friday driving in it's cloudy this

7
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.439
morning, so I didn't get to
see the super moon. So a pretty

8
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:49.280
cool moon the night before, and
like on Wednesday, Wednesday morning it was

9
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:53.000
nice but not full and it wasn't
the super moon, which just pete.

10
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:58.719
So last one of the year.
Hey, it's National Coffee Day. I

11
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:00.799
got my coffee. We'll tell you
about where you can get some free stuff

12
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:06.239
and extra goodies all over the place. Here's what's ahead on the wake up

13
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.439
Call. Governor Newsom has signed a
bill that will require employers to pay fast

14
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.719
food workers in the state at least
twenty bucks an hour. The wage increase

15
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.560
takes effect April first. Eighty three
percent of employers say they are going to

16
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.799
increase menu prices to cover the costs. The Senate and House have advanced bills

17
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.359
to avoid a government shutdown this weekend
that is looking more likely by the hour.

18
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.640
The deadline to prevent that shutdown is
midnight tomorrow. We're going to be

19
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.879
talking to ABC's Stephen Portnoy about the
implications of a shutdown in just a couple

20
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.799
of minutes. Hey, the Pacific
Air Show takes off and the skies over

21
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.719
Huntington Beach today. The main events
this weekend will feature the Air Force Thunderbirds

22
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:52.239
and the F twenty two Raptors demonstration
team. At six oh five, it's

23
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.439
handled on the news. Some lawmakers
are calling on Governor Newsom to suspend the

24
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:01.000
gas tax as gas prices continue to
skyrocket in California. Let's get started with

25
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.760
some of the stories coming out of
the Kfight twenty four hour newsroom. A

26
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.159
thirteen year old in Burbank has been
arrested for allegedly threatening to shoot up his

27
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:14.560
middle school. Belie say they found
out about it on social media Wednesday night,

28
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.560
threatening Luther Burbank Middle School. The
student was cited for making criminal threats

29
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.560
and released to his parents. They
turned over the toy gun scene in the

30
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:30.560
social media post striking actors say they
won't back down as sag After heads to

31
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.840
the negotiating table with major studios.
Actors are set to meet with studio executives

32
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.560
Monday to try to work out a
deal to bring an end to a strike

33
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.639
that started in July. Actress Sean
Richards says sag afters negotiating leaders will be

34
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.240
standing their ground at this point.
If we've done it this long, why

35
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.560
would we change our tactic? They
came back to us. The writers ended

36
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.560
a nearly five month long strike Wednesday
after approving a contract with the AMPTP that

37
00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:00.960
addresses most of their concerns. Chris
Adler Ka FI News. A man charged

38
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.479
with killing his ex girlfriend by throwing
her over a balcony at her apartment in

39
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:10.360
the Hollywood Hills has been found guilty. Prosecutors say Gareth purse House broke into

40
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.960
the woman's home on Valentine's Day twenty
twenty and waited hours for her to get

41
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.919
there. Doctor Amy Harwick had a
restraining order against her. He's facing life

42
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.960
in prison without parole. A guy
walking his dog in Garden Grove has fatally

43
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.159
shot a homeless man. He claims
it was self defense Investigators say there was

44
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.240
a fight before the shooting yesterday afternoon. Neighbors say they saw the homeless man

45
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.479
sitting in the street moments earlier and
had called police. A pit bull mix

46
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.280
stolen from its owner at a seven
eleven store in North Hollywood earlier this week

47
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.960
has been returned. The dog was
taken early Tuesday. His name was Drake.

48
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.960
The dog was found yesterday at a
sober living home in Orange County and

49
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.240
was turned over to the Sheriff's department. Court documents have revealed what investigators are

50
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.280
looking at in the case of the
man acute killing for University of Idaho students.

51
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.159
Search warrants have been issued for YouTube, PayPal, Apple, Spotify,

52
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:12.319
and Amazon. The information being sought
includes Brian Coburger's payment histories, viewed content,

53
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:17.199
and channel analytics. The Amazon warrant
requests activity related to knives and accessories.

54
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:24.079
Prosecutors haven't said whether the murder weapon
has been found. A Congressional subcommittee

55
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.240
has met over the wildfires in Maui. Reps from the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission

56
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.120
in the State Energy Office, along
with Hawaiian Electric CEO Shelley Kimura, answered

57
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.319
questions about the events leading up to
the fires on West Maui. Virginia Republican

58
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.920
Congressman Morgan Griffith chaired the meeting yesterday. Though, when you learn that the

59
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:45.439
winds were going to be higher than
you originally anticipated, I don't have that

60
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.800
information, right? Do you get
that to the committee after this hearing?

61
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.240
Have absolutely follow up. It's the
first time at governing bodies convened on the

62
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.759
fires, which started August seven.
Steve Gregory, King of Fine News,

63
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.360
Hines is planning to sell a limited
number of Ketchup and seemingly Ran bottles following

64
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:05.240
Taylor Swift's appearance at a Kansas City
Chiefs game. Oh God, this continues.

65
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:10.360
A fan posted a photo of Swift
eating chicken tenders with Ketchup and what

66
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:15.319
the fan referred to as seemingly ranch. Company reps say Hines will be releasing

67
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:23.240
one hundred bottles because Taylor Swift's favorite
number plus Travis Kelsey's number equals one hundred

68
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.000
and did you hear the uproart?
She's apparently going to be at a game

69
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.720
this weekend and ticket sales are soaring. He's going to go see her new

70
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.839
guy Kelsey if he is her new
guy, which remains to be seen.

71
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.000
It's five h six on your wake
up call. Let's say good morning to

72
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:43.000
ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, we're
just two days away from a possible government

73
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.920
shutdown. Where are we in avoiding
the shutdown at midnight tomorrow? Well,

74
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.399
it doesn't appear we're going to avoid
it. I look the House and Senator

75
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.439
on different pages. They need to
get on the same page, and that

76
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:56.040
hasn't happened yet. The deadline,
it seems this morning, is very likely

77
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.800
to come and go without a deal. The House of Representatives last night passed

78
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:04.360
a full year appropriations bill for the
Defense Department and Homeland Security and the State

79
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.839
Department. But it's those those measures
are not likely to become law because they

80
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:13.120
contain provisions, for example, taking
the Defense secretary salary down to a dollar,

81
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.160
spanning the use of funds for critical
race theory, drag Queen story hour.

82
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.360
Because this is what they want to
do. This is what they want

83
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:26.639
to do. They want to listen. They the funds would ban gender affirming

84
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.319
care, critical race theory, drag
Queen story hour, and they sent it

85
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:30.920
to the Senate. That's what they
did last night. The Senate is not

86
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.000
going to send that bill to the
President's desk, and I have to reconcile

87
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.920
those differences. And by the way, the key question really hanging over all

88
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.079
this is whether the United States is
going to continue funding and to what extent

89
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:47.000
it will the effort to fend off
Russian aggression in Ukraine. And right now

90
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:54.319
there remains a lack of agreement between
the two sides and amongst Republicans in the

91
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:59.120
House of Representatives. So the speaker
is facing with an anvil over his head

92
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.839
and assorted hiss through the risk of
losing his job as Speaker of the House.

93
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:08.040
Late yesterday, the Washington Post reported
that some of these Republicans, mac

94
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:12.480
Gates and others are going to move
early next week to oust McCarthy as speaker,

95
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.040
and they're pointing at Tom Emmer,
the number three in the leadership Republican

96
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.519
congressmen from Minnesota, former talk radio
host, and saying that he should be

97
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.680
the next speaker. Now, Emma
is a McCarthy loyalist, and he's got

98
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.439
his hands up head not me.
I don't want anything to do with this,

99
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.920
So we'll see what happens. But
all this is happening right now is

100
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:36.639
the country's focused on the lack of
good governance frankly in Washington, DC,

101
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:41.800
And what will the immediate impact be. Well, the immediate impact would be

102
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.399
the come Monday, really Sunday,
hundreds of thousands of federal workers would be

103
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:51.360
furloughed. But most acutely and most
depressingly, Congress appears set to let our

104
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:57.439
military down in a way that it
hasn't in quite some time. Last night,

105
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.879
the House passed a full year d
D appropriations bill, But again that's

106
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.360
not going to become law. That's
the mechanism to have paychecks flow to the

107
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.439
troops. In the past shutdowns that
leave experience that we remember most. What

108
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.560
member perhaps the best right There were
there three in the last couple of decades.

109
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.160
It was a nineteen ninety five in
Bill Clinton and Nuke King Rich's era.

110
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.519
There was another one, I think
around that time. It was one

111
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.279
in twenty thirteen where Ted Cruz read
out of green Eggs and ham on the

112
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.920
Senate floor. That was about Obamacare. And then in twenty eighteen there was

113
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:33.360
a fight between Donald Trump and Congressional
Democrats and ultimately it ended because at the

114
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.759
end of it, it lasted for
about four weeks. Members of the TSA

115
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.639
started calling in sick because why should
they have to go into the airports and

116
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.840
not get paid, and members of
air traffic control people said that they were

117
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:48.399
going to do the same, which
would have crippled aviation, and that meant

118
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.759
a great deal to Donald Trump,
so he struck a deal. Right now,

119
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.039
the way things are, it's not
clear how this is going to get

120
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.000
resolved because any kind of short term
measure that the Senate might send, first

121
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.559
of all, doesn't appear the Senate
will pass it ahead of the deadline in

122
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.120
the first place, and by the
time it gets to the House, the

123
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.600
question that becomes what a speaker McCarthy
do. Does he put it on the

124
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.240
floor or does he not? And
at the moment he appears he's not interested

125
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.320
in doing it. So we'll see. It's like the Keystone Cops. Well,

126
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.320
it doesn't appear as though they have
a plan. If they have a

127
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.840
plan, we would we would see
it, we would know it. And

128
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.000
there's a lot of talk from McCarthy
that he's got this plan, but it

129
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.600
hasn't manifested in a way that makes
any real sense to any of us who've

130
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.279
been around a while. So we'll
see what happens. Okay, We'll be

131
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.000
watching for tomorrow at midnight, and
then I'm sure we'll be talking more about

132
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.399
it on Monday if it does,
in fact happen. With the proviso that

133
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.840
anything can happen, absolutely so I'll
keep my fingers crossed. Thanks Stephen Portnoy,

134
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.840
appreciate it. Let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of

135
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.559
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
It's a bird, it's a plane.

136
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:54.080
It's actually dozens of planes flying over
Huntington Beach for the Pacific Air Show.

137
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.360
We're expecting a couple hundred thousand people
on the beach each day. Pacific Air

138
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.200
Show director Kevin Elliot. It says. Forty eight military aircraft include the US

139
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.559
Air Force Thunderbirds, Army and Navy
parachuters, and an F twenty two Raptor

140
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.320
demo team. As for civilians,
we're gonna have the OC Fire Authority coming

141
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.679
through doing a water drop with one
of their tankers. Wet Tom Larkin flying

142
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.480
the Subsonics mini jet, which is
just a little bit bigger than a go

143
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.600
kart, plus Red Bull Aerobatic helicopter
pilot Aaron Fitzgerald. You will see a

144
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.759
helicopter go upside down, so you'll
see loops and rolls and all the standard

145
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.559
aerobatic maneuvers that you see in airplanes, only I'm going to do it in

146
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.759
a helicopter jet. Waco pilot Jared
Lindeman flies on nineteen twenty nine biplane with

147
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.679
a lear Jet engine strapped on.
So that allows us to have positive thrust

148
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.320
to weight rat show and we can
actually pull it up on a vertical line

149
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.639
and stop and hover, and there's
not many airplanes that can do that.

150
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.120
Pilot Scratch Mitchell flies one of two
T thirty three. We do a head

Sunday at Lion Air Museum in Santa
Anna. Corbin Carson k if I News,

154
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.559
Oh, we've got another shooting on
Metro. A man is in the

155
00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:01.600
hospital after he was shot at the
Metro See Green Line station in the Vermont

156
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:09.559
Vista area. LAPD responded to the
light rail station at eleven twenty last night

157
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.080
on South Figaroa, there were reports
of shots fired. They found the guy

158
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.320
in the parking lot with gunshot wounds. Again. He was taken to the

159
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.559
hospital. We don't know his condition. A jury has found a man guilty

160
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:26.440
of trying to kill two La County
Sheriff's deputies in Compton. Jurors convicted Deonte

161
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.720
Murray yesterday on ten counts, including
three counts of attempted murder. On September

162
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.679
twelfth, twenty twenty, Murray walked
up to a Sheriff's patrol suv at a

163
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.080
train station and open fire. Three
days later, Murray was found barricaded in

164
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.799
a home in Lynnwood. A woman
who allegedly beat up a thirteen year old

165
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.720
and a McDonald's and Harbor City has
been arrested. Investigators say tips from the

166
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.720
public helped find the woman. The
beating earlier this month was caught on video.

167
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.600
The girl attacked says it was totally
unprovoked. The second Republican debate,

168
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:03.480
held in Simi Valley, had the
lowest viewership since twenty fifteen. Data shows

169
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.480
just over nine million people tuned in
Wednesday night. Yep I was one of

170
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.559
them. That's a big drop from
the first debate last month, which drew

171
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.879
more than twelve million viewers. Former
President Trump did not show up at either

172
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.639
debate, and some candidates expressed their
frustration that he was not there. The

173
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.519
Anaheim City Council has new reforms following
a federal corruption investigation into a shady deal

174
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:28.240
to sell Angel Stadium, which caused
the mayor to resign. Councilwoman Natalie Rubacava

175
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:33.120
says a plan to keep emails longer
and restrict personal device use is important.

176
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.240
I do agree with you. If
somebody's going to break the law, they're

177
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.759
going to do it anyways. But
we still have to do something about putting

178
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:45.639
safeguards in place to prevent any accidental
lack of reporting or maintaining records. The

179
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.879
city this week also moved to hire
more employees to handle public records requests.

180
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.399
Authorities in Pakistan say at least fifty
two people celebrating the prophet Muhammad's birthday have

181
00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:00.200
been killed in an explosion. Nearly
seventy others were hurt. Two people were

182
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:05.200
killed in a separate explosion at a
mosque in northwest Pakistan. The US Equal

183

Employment Opportunity Commission is sued Tesla,
alleging the company engages in racial discrimination and

184
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.480
harassment. The lawsuit filed yesterday in
California, comes after an investigation into Testla's

185
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:22.720
treatment of black employees. The EOC
says the company violated federal law by tolerating

186
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:30.600
the widespread and ongoing harassment of black
employees and by retaliating against employees who complained.

187
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.960
Okay, I told you earlier.

their shops. And Wendy's is giving away

200
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:41.559
small coffee with any purchase. And
that's today through Sunday. I got my

201
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.720
caffeine. I hope you get yours. It's needed. Oh and it's it's

202
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:50.159
apparently good for you too. The
l Kenny Sheriff's Department is investigating vandalism done

203
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.519
to some cars and Ladera Heights as
a hate crime. At least eight cars

204
00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:01.080
had swastikas spray painted onto and carved
into their cars. More than forty five

205

million student loan accounts will be active
again starting Sunday, October one. The

206

the pandemic. A dog stolen from a

207

woman at a seven eleven in North
Hollywood has been found in Orange County at

208
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.679
a sober living home. When the
tenants were confronted, they took off.

209
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.200
The dog's been returned to the woman
who was attacked on Tuesday at six oh

210
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.399
five handle on the news. The
uaw's expected to announce whether it's going to

211
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:28.840
expand the autoworker strikes to more plants
across the US. But right now,

212
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.480
from halfway around the world, let's
say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller in

213
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:39.120
Jerusalem. What time is it where
you are, Jordana, It's about three

214
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:46.200
twenty five in the afternoon, So
you didn't I didn't have to get up

215
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.000
early for you. Yeah, well, we're glad you made the time for

216
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.240
us. So diplomatically speaking, you
say, this has been a good week

217
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.960
in the Middle East. Tell us
what happened. Yeah, there's been a

218
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:04.159
lot of momentum building around that possible
breakthrough of a normalization deal between Israel and

219
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.679
Saudi Arabia. But now it has
to be said, it's still going to

220
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.919
be along and the winding road.
But we saw some first this week which

221
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:17.759
are encouraging signs. First of all, the Saudis sent for the first time

222
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.000
in fifty years, more than fifty
years, a top official to the West

223
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:30.279
Bank to discuss a possible deal between
Israel and Riad with the Palestinian authority.

224
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:37.039
They basically presented the credentials of the
new ambassador to Ramala, though he won't

225
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.879
be residing there. He'll be residing
in Jordans Nonetheless, it's an important development

226
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:47.960
because the Saudis are going to be
representing the demands of the Palestinians in this

227
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.240
deal, and they really came to
reassure the Palestinians that they are not going

228
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:59.679
to be sidelines and they're going to
try to get as many Israeli concessions that

229
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.799
they hand for the Palestinians in this
deal. The Palestines were essentially left out

230
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.920
of the deal that is well recently
signed a couple a few years ago with

231
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.279
the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco.
So the Palestins trying this time to be

232
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:17.480
part of the negotiations through the Saudist
Having said all of that, they're not

233
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:23.000
going to get, you know,
something as grand or as important as you

234
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:27.440
know, major steps towards the Palestinian
state, but they may get, for

235
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:33.799
example, some transfers of land that
is currently under Israeli control in the West

236
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.599
Bank, have that transferred to the
Palestinians. The other obstacle, of course,

237
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.880
is the very right wing government of
Prime Minister Benjamin at Yale. He's

238
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.799
going to have to really put his
foot down to try to get this deal

239
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.839
done because his far right partners,
you know, or don't like any any

240
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:56.400
any confessions, but all steps are
good steps, right. I mean in

241
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:02.720
this region, any you know flick
on the radar that moved us out of

242
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:10.400
you know, entrenched conflict and towards
any signs of hope is a good one.

243
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:15.000
But we don't know if that will
actually come to terms. We'll have

244
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.240
to wait and see, Okay.
And then something else that happened this week

245
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.680
is it Israel reopened a crossing with
the Gaza strip. What does that do?

246
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.720
Right? So there were for more
than for almost two weeks now,

247
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:36.240
there were ongoing ongoing protests at the
Gaza border. They turned you know,

248
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:40.839
very violent. At least one pouncing
was killed, tons of acres of farmland

249
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:45.720
were torched, and Israel finally decided
to reopen the Gauza border and let almost

250
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:52.720
twenty thousand workers in the qataris also
came through with some aid. So we

251
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.400
believe now that that is the end
of that kind of cycle of violence.

252
00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:59.880
If you remember a few years ago, back in twenty eighteen twenty nine,

253
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.240
you know, hundreds of Palestinians were
killed at protests there that lasted almost two

254
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:10.519
years, weekly protests. So I
know that we don't hear about it that

255
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.640
much, you know, because it's
halfway around the world. But you were

256
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:17.880
talking about the protests. Are they
kind of just ongoing all the time and

257
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.440
they flare up sometimes or do they
stop for a while and then restart.

258
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:26.480
How does that all play out now? So they actually stopped for quite a

259
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:33.039
while. We haven't seen sustained protests
day after day for more than two years.

260
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.079
It was a tactic that Hamas,
the militant group that runs the Gods

261
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:41.039
the Strip, employed to put pressure
on Israel when there were other things going

262
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.119
on that might have been issues here
in Jerusalem at the contested holy site,

263
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:52.240
the Alexams compound, It might have
been other issues going on in the northern

264
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:57.079
border. So this is kind of
a trigger that Hamas pulls, you know,

265
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:02.559
when it sees fit. And that's
what it did. For almost two

266
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:06.400
weeks, we saw those daily protests, and you're right, they don't really

267
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:10.759
make headlines unless, of course,
they turned really deadly, which they have

268
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:15.079
in the past. Probably the deadliest
day, you know, recently in recent

269
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:22.039
times, was the day that the
US embassy moved officially and reopened opened here

270
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.359
in Jerusalem under President Trump. You
know, there were dozens of Palestinians killed

271
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.359
that day at the Gothen border.
Okay, well, baby steps and like

272
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.400
I said, all steps are good
steps. Thank you sir, Thank you

273
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.680
so much for your time, Jordana, and thanks say have a great weekend.

274
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.279
All right, we'll talk to you
soon. Let's get back to some

275
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:42.319
of the stories coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Wages are

276
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:47.240
going up for fast food workers in
California. Governor Newsom has approved a twenty

277
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:51.200
dollars minimum wage for fast food workers. The average wage in California for fast

278
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:55.359
food workers is currently sixteen sixty an
hour. Newson says there are more than

279
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:59.440
five hundred and fifty thousand workers that
will see pay hikes. Eighty percent of

280
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:03.920
the work force these fast food places
are people of color. The pay hikes

281
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:07.759
will go into effect in April.
The law signed yesterday also creates a fast

282
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.039
food Council that could raise wages each
year through twenty twenty nine. In downtown

is that. Well, okay,

300
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:36.240
it was cute, But I just
find it amazing that Confucius knew what a

301
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:41.559
car was. That's that's the thing. See think about that. He lived

302
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.160
like twenty five years ago. So
well maybe I was smart. He was

303
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.160
smart. Okay, So Dean,
let's let's talk about what you call the

304
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:53.240
most universally important room in the house. Yes, the bathroom. Totally.

305
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:59.039
It is important, right, I
mean, it's just one of those things.

306
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:02.799
There's no avoiding it. There is
no avoiding the bathroom. I also

307
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:07.799
love this little gem. I share
this every single time we talk about bathrooms

308
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:12.200
because it kind of sets up how
important they really are to us. We're

309
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:18.799
all imprinted, you know, emotionally, with a certain vibe towards bathrooms.

310
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:23.279
And I think it tracks all the
way back to the fact that think about

311
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:30.119
it, the bathroom is very likely
the very first room that your parents ever

312
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:36.920
officially allowed you to go into and
said, please shut the door, learn

313
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.680
to function in there on your own. Shut the door. It was the

314
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:45.279
first room you were allowed to retreat
into with the door shut and with everybody's

315
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.559
permission, And ever since then,
the bathroom still remains that kind of a

316
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.359
thing for us. You know.
I mean, whether you just need to

317
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.519
get a break and you've set your
bathroom up as sort of a spa retreat,

318
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.319
or you know, you're at a
party, we're at a restaurant somewhere,

319
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:03.519
and the conversations lagging, or you're
just like, oh, geez,

320
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:07.279
how do I get out of this
situation? Oh, you know what,

321
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:10.440
I've got to go use the restroom. You don't have to actually have to

322
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:14.559
go to the bathroom, but you
go because you know it's a place and

323
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.880
once you're in that little stall,
for as long as you're there, you

324
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:23.039
own that space. And so bathrooms
are really really important to us emotionally speaking.

325
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:27.960
And I think we've finally in the
design world come full circle with residential

326
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:32.000
bathrooms and people really see them for
what they are. It's not just a

327
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.920
utilitarian place. It's a very important
place to us. Oh yeah, my

328
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:41.240
friends just they built a house,
and why their bathroom is beautiful and they

329
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:47.079
spend all this time figuring out the
tub and the shower and the tile and

330
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:49.720
the wall tile and just everything because
it is. I mean, it's just

331
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.440
this beautiful space. So tell us
if you have a bathroom that's kind of

332
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:59.279
old and outdated and is, as
you call it, an owl. How

333
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.680
can we try to into Ah,
wow, give us give us some examples.

334
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:04.200
All right, So you know,
right off the top of the list,

335
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:08.400
if your if your home was built
in the eighties or the nineties,

336
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:14.359
there's a very good chance that it's
got some kind of like overly fancy,

337
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:21.799
big old jetted spot tub, the
gigantic platform, right yeah, and whether

338
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:23.119
it now, how often do you
use it? Let me ask you that,

339
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.279
I mean, are you do you
do you take you know, long

340
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.319
baths and just enjoy that time.
And if you do, do you do

341
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.319
you use the jets? Okay,
so the jetted tub is up in my

342
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.960
house in Portland. But I do
have a tub here, and I know

343
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:42.319
I never use it. Okay,
most people don't when I was younger,

344
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:48.200
but I just don't like the idea
of I dated a guy one time who

345
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.240
told me I just can't imagine sitting
in my own dirt, And since then

346
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.119
I've not gone into the tub again. We'll see. That's the thing.

347
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:02.240
That's the thing. Showers really are
superior way of cleaning yourself up. And

348
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:07.200
most people don't bathe in a bathtub. They soak, They luxuriate. So

349
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.160
in other words, you know,
you know, you know, you'll take

350
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:14.680
a shower first and then you'll get
into the tub, and you know,

351
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.359
so it's a very spa thing.
And the issue I have with the old

352
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.200
jetted tubs is not only do they
take up after that whole platform is built

353
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.680
out a tremendous amount of space in
a bathroom that you otherwise might want to

354
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.240
use for other things. Maybe you
want to increase the size of the shower,

355
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:32.559
maybe you want to fit a sauna
in there. I mean, who

356
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:37.599
knows what, But a jetted tub
and its platform take up so so much

357
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:42.000
space. Plus it doesn't really prove
out in practice even if you are one

358
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:47.720
who likes to lounge in the tub. You see that kind of a sprowled

359
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:49.200
out in a magazine, and you
know, there she is. She's got

360
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:52.400
her candles and her bubbles and everything. And then you realize, you know,

361
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.079
if I turn the blower on in
this tub, all of a sudden,

362
00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.000
the peace and the zen in this
bathroom just turns into just white noise.

363
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.160
There's a machine blowing in the bathroom. All right, So what's the

364
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.319
better idea? The better idea is
where things have really gone, which is

365
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.319
losing all of that. If you're
thinking about doing a bathroom remodel, keep

366
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:15.680
the tub, but to do a
free standing tub, really big, beautiful,

367
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:18.799
elegant free standing tubs take up you
know, just a third of the

368
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:23.519
space and they're so cool looking now, like the clow foot tub is like

369
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:29.440
the traditional one, but now they're
just like these big basins of just beauty.

370
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.279
They are they are. They come
in every shape and size. You

371
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:36.000
can go back to the you know, the vintage clow foot look, the

372
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:38.880
slipper tub what we call it because
it rises up on one side a little

373
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:44.680
more support for your back. But
there are contemporary versions. I mean literally

374
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.759
any time period, any style you
can get a free standing tub for and

375
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:53.319
you will save a tremendous amount of
space in the bathroom and get a much

376
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:59.759
much more elegant look, and I
would argue a much better luxuriating experience in

377
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:03.480
that at tubs. So that's just
one example. Another one is if you've

378
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.799
got a really really small bathroom and
we're remodeling, we encourage people all the

379
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:12.039
time, let's lose the shower door, let's lose the glass around the shower.

380
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:17.079
And the reason is not because there's
anything wrong with shower glass. It's

381
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.680
great, it's awesome, but it's
one more thing to clean. And if

382
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:25.720
you replace it with a really elegant
curtain, then when that curtain is open,

383
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:30.440
all of the air space the volume
of the bathroom that is in the

384
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:34.519
shower belongs to the rest of the
room, and so the room feels larger.

385
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:38.240
There's no avoiding the fact, even
if it's crystal clear glass that if

386
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:42.359
there is a wall of glass there, you're subdividing the bathroom space. And

387
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:48.519
in a small bathroom that already is
cramped for space that only you know encloses

388
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.240
it that much more. I feel
trendy then, because I have a shower

389
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:53.640
curtain. Okay, I want to
move to toilets, because we talked about

390
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:59.200
toilets very briefly last week, and
you mentioned wall mounted toilets, which I

391
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:02.279
said, yes, scare the crap
out of me because I'm a fat that's

392
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:03.799
right. You said you had a
fear of those, well, because I'm

393
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.039
afraid if you put one in your
house and it would you know, you'd

394
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:10.640
sit on it and it would break
and fall down. Yeah. Yeah,

395
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:14.599
not not at all the case.
If you if you ever see a wall

396
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:18.839
mounted toilet before it's been installed.
You see that that toilet is not just

397
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.599
some you know, a little piece
of porcelain bowl that's somehow bolted into the

398
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:27.559
bottom of the wall. It is
part of a unit that goes almost floor

399
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:33.279
to ceiling in the wall itself.
It is bolted into studs, the bottom

400
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.519
plate, the top plate. In
other words, that thing is going absolutely

401
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:42.400
nowhere. What's the benefit of having
a wall mounted tub versus a floor or

402
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:49.599
wall mounted toilet versus a floor mounted
space visual space? When you think about

403
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:56.319
the fact that the tank behind your
toilet is making it the bowl stick out

404
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.119
about twelve inches out into the bathroom. So when you've got again a small

405
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:06.839
bathroom number one, a wall mounted
toilet allows that whole bowl to move closer

406
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:10.160
to the wall. You'll save about
twelve inches of walking space in front of

407
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:15.680
it. Plus you got space underneath
it because there's no foot And cleaning a

408
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:21.079
bathroom where the toilet is floating above
the floor. Oh, it's a whole

409
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:25.359
different experience. Even if you don't
stand in that space. If you see

410
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:29.160
it, your brain registers it as
spaciousness. Okay, I like that.

411
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:33.160
And then one other thing is you
go from out to WoT squishy seats are

412
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:38.240
out. Huh oh yeah, squishy
seats with the little patterns and the embroidery

413
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:41.839
on them sometimes you know, yeah, yes, squishy seats are out,

414
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.839
all right? Instead, what's in
the day seats? The day seats are

415
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.880
the thing. In fact, I
would tell everybody, anybody who's remodeling a

416
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:53.720
bathroom, whether you are into a
biday seat or not, if you're thinking

417
00:30:53.720 --> 00:31:00.599
about resale or the future, you
should actually wire an outlet behind your toilet

418
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:03.920
so that it is bid day ready
all right, and we're gonna have many

419
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:10.519
more out to wow examples that you're
going to share this weekend on Home with

420
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:14.440
Dean Sharp. And that's from six
to eight tomorrow morning and the nine to

421
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:18.079
noon on Sunday. You got it. He's our house whisperer. Thank you

422
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:21.759
so much, Dean. Thanks Amy. Right now, let's say good morning

423
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:27.640
to ABC's entertainment Gurut, Jason Nathanson, Jason with Ai making such a splash,

424
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:30.559
worries about how it could take over
the world and such, talk to

425
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:36.000
us about the creator. Yeah,
it's an interesting timely movie and it's interesting

426
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:38.079
how these things come out because Gareth
Edwards who's the writer director of it,

427
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:42.240
who did Rogue one, the Star
Wars movie which is very well received.

428
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.400
A few years ago. Oh,
Jason, I gotta interrupt you for just

429
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:51.119
one second. I'm so sorry,
but we're just getting this that Diane Feinstein

430
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.240
has died, so just wanted to
let you know. We'll bring you more

431
00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:56.839
information as it comes in, but
we just got that word and wanted to

432
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.640
let people know. Okay, sure, how do we switch back? But

433
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:06.240
sure, anyway back to the creator. Yes, that's stuff, but it

434
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:09.279
is. It's interesting because Garett Edwards, who was the writer director of the

435
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:14.519
film, started making this four or
five years ago, and you know,

436
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:19.039
you think about the time four or
five years ago. Sure, AI was

437
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.359
a thing, but not like it
is now. In every headline on every

438
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:27.759
you know, the page. We're
all talking about it chat ept in those

439
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.960
things, and that didn't exist when
he made this film, started writing it

440
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:35.039
at least, so for to come
out now. It's just interesting how the

441
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.759
cycle of movies go. This is
about It's a sci fi kind of action

442
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:44.480
war film about a guy played by
John David Washington who is an ex Special

443
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:50.319
Forces agent in this war against AI. AI has become very powerful. They're

444
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:54.680
basically robots who were very humanlike and
there are a lot of issues ethically with

445
00:32:54.920 --> 00:33:00.200
when it comes to AI and the
issues surrounding this. So this explores all

446
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:01.880
that. And when it's doing that, I think it's a fascinating look at

447
00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:07.400
things. I think it's a fascinating
kind of study of what's going on and

448
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:13.319
where we are. But also it's, uh, it's it's it's a good

449
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.920
action kind of sci fi movie.
My only problem with it it didn't hit

450
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:20.000
for me on an emotional level.
You know. It's the kind of thing

451
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.480
where I think by the end they
want you to be in tears, but

452
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:27.599
for me, I wasn't. But
a lot of the stuff surrounding it I

453
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:30.839
found very very interesting. You know. It's really interesting to me is that

454
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:36.799
they've already got this movie and it's
out and like AI and we've already we've

455
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:40.559
had thoughts of AI, but like
chat, GPT and real AI in our

456
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:44.880
everyday lives, it's been around for
less than a year. Yeah, and

457
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:49.319
you know, this year has been
huge when AI at the forefront in the

458
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.119
strikes in Hollywood, you know,
with with the actors and the writers,

459
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:55.799
and so for this movie to be
coming out. It's just it's kind of

460
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:00.480
it's almost creepy the timing of it. You know, like AI, it's

461
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:05.720
something that AI could have done,
but that you know, it's that's also

462
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:07.639
a lot of movies come out and
you think, oh, that's definitely a

463
00:34:07.719 --> 00:34:12.360
reflection on the pandemic or something like
that, and you know, it's just

464
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:15.679
the life cycle of movies. Usually
it's about seven years from when it's something

465
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.920
started to when it hits the screen. So it's never really talking about the

466
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:23.880
moment that you think it's in,
but a lot of things just are reflected

467
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:29.599
in society. Okay, so what's
new streaming this week? A couple of

468
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:32.119
things. You have jen V,
which is a spinoff of The Boys,

469
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:37.159
which is the on Amazon Prime.
It's really raunchy superhero show. You know,

470
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:39.679
if you have the Marvel version of
superheroes, which is kind of clean

471
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:45.400
and sanitized, The Boys imagines a
world where superheroes were actually real, how

472
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:51.639
debaucherous that they would be. This
spinoff is set in a college for young

473
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:55.239
superheroes, so you can imagine where
things might go there when you have really

474
00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:00.760
kind of raunchy superheroes. It's just
like it's it's it's older brother. It

475
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:05.159
is very very funny. It is
very very raunchy, it is very very

476
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:08.320
bloody. I made the mistake of
sitting down to eat lunch while watching the

477
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:14.400
first episode, and do not do
that. But I should have known from

478
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:17.960
the boys that that's not a smart
decision anyway. But I really liked it,

479
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:21.320
And if you're a fan of the
Boys, I think you're gonna be

480
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:24.000
a fan of Jen v Awesome.
Jason Nathanson, thank you so much for

481
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:27.039
your time this morning. We'll talk
to you next week. All right,

482
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:29.159
take care, all right, take
care. Let's get back to some of

483
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:31.559
the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. As we mentioned

484
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:36.639
just a minute ago, Senator Dianne
Feinstein, a vocal advocate of gun control

485
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:40.199
measures who was known for trying to
find common ground with Republicans during three decades

486
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:44.719
in the Senate, has died.
She was the oldest member of the Senate,

487
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:47.920
the longest serving female center as senator, and the longest serving Senator from

488
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:54.320
California. Dianne Feinstein was ninety.
United Auto Workers President Sean Faine is expected

489
00:35:54.320 --> 00:36:00.679
to announce new targets in the strike
against gm Ford and Stilantis workers are going

490
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:02.920
into their third week of the strike. Last week, Faine announced that the

491
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.960
strike had been expanded to thirty eight
general motors and Stillantis plants in twenty States.

492
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:13.519
Ford was spared because of progress made
in negotiations. He's expected to make

493
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:16.760
the announcement on whether they're going to
expand the strike more at seven this morning.

494
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:22.440
The LAPD has used a drone ten
times in the last year during official

495
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.760
operations. Most of those calls dealt
with people barricaded inside homes and buildings.

496
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:30.320
Even though we gave approval on fourteen
uses, it was only actually deployed ten

497
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:37.960
times because the incidents was resolved prior
to the sUAS being used, or we

498
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:40.599
came up with a different type of
option. Jevity Chief Dave Kowalski says the

499
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:45.320
second most popular call for drones as
major traffic collisions. He told the Police

500
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:47.719
Commission this week that there have been
no injuries or officer involved shootings during the

501
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:54.159
drone call. Steve Gregory KINGAFY News. Okay, and one next last thing,

502
00:36:55.079 --> 00:37:00.920
there's a bathroom app called rest Space. It's only in Diego right now,

503
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.039
but kind of caught my attention because
when you're out and about and you

504
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.639
gotta go. You gotta go,
and where are you gonna go? So

505
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:10.519
you can always pull over and find
a fast food place or maybe a gas

506
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:15.280
station, which can sometimes be a
little bit sketchy. But this app is

507
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:19.519
called rest Space. They're calling it
kind of an like an uber for the

508
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:24.440
potty. Prices start at fifteen dollars
for fifteen minutes. They kind of lost

509
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:29.920
me there, but apparently it was
very successful during Comic Con because restrooms maybe

510
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:34.079
in short supply. This is again
unique to San Diego right now, but

511
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:39.000
there are some other toilet finders around
the world called There's one called toilet Finder,

512
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:43.840
There's a flush Finder, and also
in the UK the lou Finder.

513
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:49.559
Be interesting to see an expanse here. This is KFI and KOST HD two

514
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:53.320
Los Angeles, Orange County. We
lead local live from the KFI twenty four

515
00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:57.480
