WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:04.120 Hey, it's Jennifer Jones Lee. You're listening to KFI, a m six 2 00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:12.480 forty wake up call on demand on the iHeartRadio app. That's Monday, man, 3 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:19.039 it's time to rise and shine. Here's Jennifer Jones Lee with your morning 4 00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:27.960 wake up call. How was your weekend? Oh, the weather was pretty. 5 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.560 You know what I like about it is we it finally felt like spring. 6 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.840 So we got up in the mornings and it felt cool outside and then 7 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.920 he get a little bit warm during the day, but then a little breeze 8 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.359 would blow. And the one thing that I went out and looked in my 9 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.359 backyard, I'd love to go sit in my backyard kind of in the evening 10 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.439 ish time, six ish a letter time. That's what I'm kind of doing 11 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.560 show prep for the next day. But I've just kind of gotten into a 12 00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:58.719 routine, and the dogs run around, and my roses are blooming, and 13 00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.000 I see I'm starting to get some apples on the trees and the oranges like. 14 00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.359 It's a gorgeous backyard that I bought. I think about the house in 15 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.560 part just because I wanted the backyard for the dogs, of course, not 16 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:19.760 for my pleasure. Although Betty is an apple monster. That dog cannot get 17 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.920 enough apples off the ground, and so when I go to get them from 18 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.159 her, she plays, oh no, you don't with me. I'm just 19 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.599 giving up eat all the apples you want, Betty. But I was looking. 20 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:38.280 I was sitting there thinking this is so lovely in picturesque, and then 21 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.040 all of a sudden, I thought, by next weekend, this is gonna 22 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:49.200 be out of control. I'm gonna be back there with my clippers, thinking, 23 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.359 who in the hell thought it was a good idea to buy a house 24 00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.879 from a man rest his soul who was a professional landscaper. Sounds like a 25 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:06.239 great idea, right, But I don't have professional landscaping skills. I have 26 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:15.000 professional landscaping. I don't admiration. It's just like that, when the music 27 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:21.199 runs out, it comes my ability of taking care of a backyard. So 28 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.879 I'm thinking that a call to my neighborhood guy who does the blow and you 29 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.800 know what do they call that mow and blow or whatever because they have turf. 30 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.879 But I'm thinking he's gonna need to come over and help me because it 31 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:37.879 looks great, Like I said today, gonna look like an overgrown forest. 32 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.599 In the next couple of weeks. I hope you had a nice weekend, 33 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.800 a relaxing one. Here's what's just ahead on your wake up call. Investigators 34 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.960 in Texas are trying to piece together what may have motivated an army soldier who 35 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.080 killed eight people at the mall in the Dallas area. Also, we're going 36 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.240 to talk about what happened in Brownsville, Texas. Don't get it confused with 37 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.840 the shooting. This was totally different, where eight people have died from a 38 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.639 crash into a bus stop outside of migrant shelter. And then the question was 39 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.520 that one intentional? I don't know. At least one person's been killed in 40 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.840 the three car crash on the one on one in East Hollywood. This one 41 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.960 is affecting your drive this morning. And nearly half a dozen electric boats have 42 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.120 been destroyed by a fire at a dock in Alamitos Bay. Also, we've 43 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:29.800 got a new ABC News Washington Post poll that President Biden might not want to 44 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.280 see. That's all I'm gonna say. So let's start with some of these 45 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:36.439 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. At least one person 46 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.479 has been killed in the three car crash on the one oh one in East 47 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:45.400 Hollywood that may have involved a wrong way driver. Traffic through this area is 48 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.479 ridiculous. We'll talk with Robert in a Sack. Two cars caught fire this 49 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.039 morning. Firefighters say one person was taken to the hospital, two other seven 50 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.960 minor injuries. The HP says all southbound lanes of the one O one are 51 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.599 closed at Alvarado Street. Investigators in Texas are trying to figure out what the 52 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:08.280 motivation may have been for a former Army soldier who killed eight people at a 53 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:14.400 mall in the Dallas area. ABC's Melissa Aiden says Mauricio Garcia was discharged from 54 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.240 the Army in two thousand and eight because of mental health concerns. Investigators are 55 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:23.519 now pouring over his social media history, finding racially motivated post and they say 56 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:29.439 that he was wearing a patch with one supremacist insignia. Shooting Saturday started wing 57 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.199 Garcia pulled into the Outland Mall parking lot, got out, and fatally shot 58 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.199 people who were standing in front of him. He then was shot and killed 59 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:40.360 by a police officer who was in the area. On another call, Texas 60 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.279 Governor Greg Abbott says guns are not to blame for shootings like the one in 61 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.199 Allen. We've seen an increased number shootings and stays with easy gun laws as 62 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.279 well as stays with very strict gun laws. And what Texas is doing in 63 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:56.839 a big time way, we are working to address that anger and violence by 64 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.920 going to his root cause. He says that root cause is mental health problems. 65 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.199 Then, eight people in Brownsville, Texas, have died from a crash 66 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.279 into a bus stop outside of migrant shelter. At least ten people were hurt 67 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:14.000 yesterday, including the driver. Security video shows an SUV running a light before 68 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.000 crashing into more than a dozen people who are waiting at the bus stop. 69 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.279 ABC's Lindsay Watts says police say they're trying to figure out if the crash was 70 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.959 intentional or if the driver was intoxicated. A witness says the driver was yelling 71 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:31.199 insults before accelerating towards the group. Police say the man has been, as 72 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.600 they put it, very uncooperative. Karen Chavers, good morning to you. 73 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.240 Hope you had a great weekend. Not so great if you're the president and 74 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.800 you're looking at this new poll. Yeah, I mean these poll numbers are 75 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.680 really warning signs for the president's reelection campaign. Just to two weeks out after 76 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.399 he announced this. This is a new ABC News Washington Post pole and it 77 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:59.319 shows his approval rating is at a u low just thirty six percent approval fifty 78 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.839 six percent disapproval. That is the lowest of any first term president a year 79 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:08.000 and a half away from the next election. And the top concern for Americans 80 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:12.879 is President Biden's age. Sixty eight percent say he is too old for another 81 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:18.079 term as president, and interestingly, forty four percent say that Joe Biden's potential 82 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.680 opponent, Donald Trump, is too old, even though Donald Trump is less 83 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:26.120 than four years younger is than Joe Biden. Just to give you a couple 84 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:30.240 nuggets underneath that, just thirty two percent overall seeing President Biden has the mental 85 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:35.000 sharpness it takes to serve effectively as president. Just thirty three percent of Americans 86 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:40.240 think he is a physical help to serve effectively. And when you look at 87 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:45.959 Democrats or Democratic meaning independence, only thirty six percent say they would like to 88 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.040 see their party nominate President Biden for another term. Fifty eight percent said they 89 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.759 preferred someone else other than Joe Biden. You know, I think one of 90 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.480 the things that if you're the Democratic Party, maybe even more so than the 91 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.959 president. And you're looking at this and thinking to yourself, all right, 92 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:08.480 if not him, then who, Yeah, that's the question because right now 93 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:13.160 there isn't another person. And when Joe Biden announced he's running for reelection, 94 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:17.800 that effectively clears the deck. The DNC is the entity that released his campaign 95 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:23.600 reelection video. They're you know, all in at this point, there isn't 96 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.399 somebody that's going to mount a serious challenge to the president. And they've cleared 97 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.279 the field. So this is it for Democrats. And you know, maybe 98 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:36.879 those numbers then change in a month when people realize that this is your choice. 99 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:42.160 This is you know, your option going forward. But for what you 100 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.240 look at these numbers, people don't like their option right now, and they 101 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.959 have deep concerns about the president's ability to run for another term and continue serving 102 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.600 for another four years in the White House. Yeah, I'm glad you brought 103 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.079 that up, because when Nicky Hayley, who you know, is running for 104 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.480 president on the Republican side, when she brought up would Joe Biden be able 105 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.439 to make it for the next you know, now now into the end of 106 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.120 his term five years, and she said no, and essentially saying like, 107 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.920 if you vote for Joe Biden, now really you are voting for Kamala Harris 108 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.120 to be president. Did this poll look at that at all where people saying, 109 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.319 wow, I don't want to vote for him, not because it just 110 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.720 him, but because of her. It didn't. This was really just about 111 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.519 the president. Okay, you know, I think when you know, it 112 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.320 didn't get into like the kind of next step there. This is just about 113 00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:35.039 him, and certainly you know, just these numbers though about the president are 114 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.840 concerning enough for if you're the re election campaign. But I would say we 115 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.919 asked the president's campaign about it. They brushed it off. They pointed to 116 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.080 his success, meaning the Democrats success better than anticipated in the midterm elections, 117 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:56.200 and what they say is his ability to defy conventional Beltway wisdom, and they 118 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.919 think that he could do that again and win a second term. All Right, 119 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.799 Karen, thank you so much. Have a great Monday, you too, 120 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.080 think thanks see you later. ABC's Karen Travers. I was having a 121 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:13.399 conversation with a friend who is a staunch Democrat, and he was talking about 122 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.799 how it was. It was interesting he was saying, I don't really mind 123 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:26.159 Joe Biden, and I said, you don't really mind Joe Biden. I 124 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.720 don't know if that's the most ringing endorsement for the person that you want as 125 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.240 president. Either way. If somebody had said to me, I don't mind 126 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.399 Donald Trump, I don't mind Joe Biden, but then he went on to 127 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:45.919 say, but I don't like Kamala Harris. And it's so interesting that in 128 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.080 many ways, kind of if you look back at the John McCain era, 129 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:56.159 when he brought Sarah Palin in, a lot of people say they didn't like 130 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.840 her, so they didn't vote for him. Now, the difference in this 131 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:07.440 is you've got the incumbent president, and a lot of people may say, 132 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.720 well, I hope he makes it for an entire term, you know, 133 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:18.000 and that he's got the both physical and mental agility to do it. But 134 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:24.840 do they like Kamala Harris? And I think that's one of the biggest questions 135 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:30.720 that a lot of Democrats are asking themselves right now. He's okay, but 136 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.679 her it's what a weird time we live in. Although I think I've been 137 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.600 saying what a weird time we live in for years now, so I guess 138 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.960 it's just always weird. President Biden, is that to meet with top Republican 139 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.559 leaders in Congress to discuss raising the debt ceiling. Now. He's also planning 140 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:54.879 to meet this week with rank and file Republican members. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen 141 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.720 has warned the US could default on its debts as early as June first if 142 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.559 the debt limit is not raised. Of course, there is a lot of 143 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:09.679 uncertainty, and I plan to update Congress as new information becomes available, but 144 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:15.159 that still our current thinking now. Republicans in the House have past a debt 145 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:20.759 limit bill that include spending cuts. Biden and Democratic lawmakers want no negotiations and 146 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.799 no conditions on the debt ceiling. A task force set up by Governor Newsom 147 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:30.960 has voted for reparations that include cash payments, but it's not a done deal. 148 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.879 The task force is recommending payments of up to one point two million dollars 149 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:39.799 for any African American over seventy that can trace their ancestry to enslaved people that 150 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.279 ABC's Derek Dennis says. The recommendations face two major hurdles. He says the 151 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.360 first is how to pay the estimated eight hundred billion dollars, which is more 152 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.480 than twice California's annual budget, and the recommendations are non binding, meaning state 153 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:58.600 lawmakers still have to approve the idea. Task Force leaders have said they expect 154 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.879 the legislature to come up with actual reparation amounts. The compensation would also include 155 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:09.799 a formal apology. UFC fighter Tony Ferguson has been arrested in La on suspicion 156 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:15.559 of driving drunk. The LAPD says he hits some parked cars in the Hollywood 157 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.440 area early yesterday and flipped his truck. He allegedly refused to take a breathalyzer 158 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.240 test at the scene, and we've got those boats. Nearly half a dozen 159 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.759 electric boats have been destroyed by a fire at a dock in the Alamitos Bay. 160 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.960 The fire was reported about one this morning. Long Beach Fire says four 161 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:39.320 or five of the boats burned sunk. No buildings in the marina burned and 162 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.360 no one was hurt. Still don't know how it's started. We're keeping an 163 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.679 eye on this story and actually we're covering it in traffic right now. Also, 164 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.679 Blake Trolley's going to go out to the scene this morning. At least 165 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.399 one person's been killed in the three car crash on the one on one in 166 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.399 East Hollywood that may have involved a wrong way driver, and investigators in Allen, 167 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.679 Texas are looking into whether white supremacist ideology led to that mass shooting at 168 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.440 a local outlet mall. We're going to get into that with ABC's Jim Ryan 169 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:11.559 in just a second. Well, making international headlines all weekend long was the 170 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.960 anxiety around the safety of Europe's largest nuclear plant. This is the one in 171 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:22.320 the Ukrainian region, the Zapparresia Nuclear Power Plant. It's come up in headlines 172 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.960 when we've talked about Russia's invasion of Ukraine before, but now it's kind of 173 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.960 feeling like it's at a fever pitch. And as Dala Kuta, good morning 174 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.240 to you. So tell us what happened this weekend that sort of changed the 175 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.200 landscape and heightened the anxiety around it. Well, hey, good morning. 176 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.440 Yeah, So the big headline is that Russia has ordered evacuations, or Russia's 177 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:50.159 evacuating more than sixteen hundred people from a town that is nearby the Zapparisia Nuclear 178 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:56.519 power plants. Some have described the evacuations as a mad panic, and the 179 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.600 big question is why Russia would be doing this so that has set of all 180 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:05.399 sorts of alarms I think for you know, for for Ukrainians, for for 181 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.320 for people watching this, Western leaders watching this and concerned about what uh you 182 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.120 know, shelling at the Zapparisia's power plant could mean for them. The feeling 183 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.960 is that Russia's evacuating civilians because they might intensify shelling at the plant, or 184 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.720 they might um be be getting gearing up for you know, something that would 185 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.519 escalate the situation here. So we don't really know what's going on inside the 186 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.720 plant, we should point out this is Zapparisia is you know, an area 187 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.960 that's controlled by the Russians. The Zapparisia Nuclear power plant has been in Russian 188 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.519 control for months now. Um. But you can bet that that that uh 189 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.879 Western leaders are going to be watching this closely should something happen at the Zapparisia 190 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.399 nuclear power plant. This is the largest power plant in Europe and so any 191 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.240 kind of um, you know, big accident, they are heavy shelling could 192 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.399 um results in a radiation cloud that could then spread all you know, all 193 00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.679 the way to Europe. It wouldn't be just Ukraine or Russi affected. It 194 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:05.759 would also have very real or could have very real repercussions for Europe. So 195 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:11.799 we've seen the chief of the International Energy Atomic Agency, Raphael Grossie, He's 196 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.200 made repeated trips down there. We saw that in the fall. He's been 197 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.320 calling for the zone to be kind of demilitarized. He's calling for a security 198 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.360 zone to be set up around the power plant for Russian troops to withdraw from 199 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.320 the power plant. He was also down there assessing damage because we know the 200 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.360 plant has been damaged in the past. Over the summer, it was the 201 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.440 side of quite a bit of shelling there. Both you know, neither side 202 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.600 really taking responsibility for the shelling that damaged the plant, both side pointing the 203 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.600 finger at the other. But we know that radiation centers censors had been damaged 204 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.919 for a little bit. So anyway, I tend situation at the Zapparizia Nuclear 205 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:48.759 power plant. We just don't know what's going to happen next, okay, 206 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:56.039 And as tell me what it would what Russia would have to gain or what 207 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:02.600 it would gain should it start shelling this area, because if it hits Zapparisia 208 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.120 and God forbid, like you were saying, that you have the gases then 209 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:11.159 or the cloud that goes all over Europe that includes Russia. So I guess 210 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.200 two things happened over the weekend. I thought, at least one, is 211 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.080 this Russia just doing like, hey, we'll get them to focus over here 212 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.679 and then really we'll go out and do something else. And secondly, why 213 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:27.440 would they do that knowing they are putting their own people at risk? Dash, 214 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.600 I mean, that's the big question. We just don't know. So 215 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:34.000 there are some that say this is just a distraction. This is Russia trying 216 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.679 to you know, put the focus on Zapparisia because it is something that the 217 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.840 West really cares about, because Europe could be directly affected. So it is 218 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.080 something that makes headlines. And so there is a sort of thought that says 219 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.480 it's just a distraction, they're preparing something else in some other region. But 220 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.440 there are others that are, you know, concerned that there could be something 221 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.399 very real in the works. We just don't know. The fact that they 222 00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.960 are evacuating again, you know, sixteen hundred people from the region is alarming. 223 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.400 Usually it's in a town where where a lot of the workers, the 224 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:10.640 people who work at those Apparisia power plant live. Um, so it's it's 225 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.440 a it's a strange situation. Um, you know, I think we're going 226 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.480 to see more and more statements today from Western leaders, from Raphael Rosie calling 227 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.559 for for for calm and for this situation, and again for that security zone. 228 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.480 I think that's the feeling, is that that would be the key here 229 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.240 to really set up a demailenterized zone around the plant. All right, Well, 230 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.160 hopefully we learn a little bit more, or at least Russia tips its 231 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.720 hand a little bit more so we know what's going on. But in the 232 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.920 meantime, I feel like I don't know we're as much, if we're as 233 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.799 alarming as this one feels. There's something in my gut that just says they're 234 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.240 not false flagging it. But again, just is this just a distraction because 235 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.920 it is such a big deal to the West. So we'll see, thank 236 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.599 you, and as I appreciate it, thank you, see you later. 237 00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.720 That's Abcason as de la Kuta and the reason that I immediately went to the 238 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.759 I don't know if Russia's trying to just get us to do the something shiny, 239 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.079 you know, the officer bar Brady from south Park. Oh, nothing 240 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.599 to see here, move along. That's what I feel like, and only 241 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:21.839 because I like in some ways. President Putin of Russia to North Korean leader 242 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.839 Kim Jong Own. Remember any time that Kim Jong Own feels like, oh 243 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.599 they forgot about me. Let's set off a rocket. Don't forget about me, 244 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:37.640 everybody. I'm still over here being little and weird. That's how I 245 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:44.640 feel. And Putin, we haven't seen a ton of headlines coming out of 246 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.119 Russia's invasion of Ukraine recently, right, I mean we've had just the okay, 247 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:53.279 the day to day operations, and you have Zelenski still saying we need 248 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.720 more you know, ammo, we need more weaponry, that kind of thing. 249 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:07.119 But it's nothing necessarily new. This is new ish, so I don't 250 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.119 know. Just keep an eye on that one. The FAA is investigating the 251 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.599 emergency landing of a single engine plane in the hills between Moore Park and Simi 252 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.599 Valley. Ventura County got a call Saturday from a pilot who said he was 253 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:23.200 having mechanical problems. That plane was later found on a fire road in the 254 00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:29.400 remote area along Los Alamos Canyon Road, kind of over near Moore Park College. 255 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.519 That former student at UC Davis has pleaded not guilty to fatally stabbing two 256 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:40.839 people near the University, including a student. Carlos Dominguez is also charged with 257 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:45.519 attempted murder for an attack on another person. The judge Friday denied bail for 258 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.559 Domingez, citing the risk to public safety and because the man was considered a 259 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:55.279 flight risk. The MTV Movie and TV Awards are in the books. A 260 00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.039 hostless, pre taped, and muted MTV Movie and TV Awards became the first 261 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:03.880 big Awards show to during the screenwriters strike, offering a commercial heavy broadcast featuring 262 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.599 lots of past recycled live clips. The show was scaled back and pre taped 263 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.599 after host Drew Barrymore pulled out in solidarity with striking members of the Writers Guild 264 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:14.519 of America. Last night, Scream six one Best Movie, The Last of 265 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.079 Us was named Best TV Show, Jenna Ortega one Best Performance in a TV 266 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:21.480 Show for Wednesday, and Tom Cruise won Best Performance in a Movie for Top 267 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:25.599 Gun. Maverick Mark Ronner KFI News and speaking of the writer's strike, coming 268 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:30.480 up at five fifty this morning, we have the producers, actually, we've 269 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.839 got the chief operating officer and the founder of Kappa Studios who are going to 270 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:38.680 join us. Now. They're talking about not only this new inspirational movie that's 271 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:44.680 coming out about this incredible softball player wait till you hear her story. But 272 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:49.039 also I want to talk to them about how the writer's strike is impacting them. 273 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:55.960 And then also it's kind of refreshing. They've got a new idea when 274 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:02.640 it comes to getting revenue for movies in Hollywood. Isn't that nice? Jim 275 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:06.119 Ryan, good morning to you. All Right, such a sad, crazy 276 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:11.759 story coming out of Allen, Texas this weekend. So this shooter eight people, 277 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:14.960 I guess he killed. Tell me what went down in this outdoor mall 278 00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.599 north of Texas. Yeah, and a lot of based on video dashcam video 279 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.720 from Uber drivers or others who were in the car or in the parking lot 280 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:27.279 with cameras pointed in that direction. This is Alan Premium Outlets. Allen is 281 00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:30.759 about twenty five miles north of Dallas, about one hundred thousand people. It's 282 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:36.319 grown exponentially in the last few years. And this mall, this outdoor mall, 283 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.000 it's sort of like a gigantic strip shopping center, one hundred and twenty 284 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.240 stores. It's one of the largest in the area. And it was packed 285 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.039 when this man Mari so Garcia stepped out of his Dodge charger and with a 286 00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:52.559 gun opened fire, killed eight people before a police officer who was there in 287 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:57.119 the lot for a different reason altogether heard the shots. He confronted the gunman 288 00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:03.599 and killed him. So ye people altogether were killed on Saturday afternoon as a 289 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.079 result of this shooting. I mean, thank god that that security guard was 290 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.880 there, that law enforcement officer was there. When it comes to a motive, 291 00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.759 do they have anything so far, well, if they do, they're 292 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.400 not talking much about it. We know that law enforcement sources have told ABC 293 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:26.839 News that that Garcia's digital footprint does have some features of white supremacy of extremist 294 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.079 ideology. He was warning a patch on this tactical vest that he wore during 295 00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:36.400 the shooting that indicated the connection to or perhaps membership in some sort of white 296 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:41.039 supremacist group. So that's that's one potential the shootings. He didn't appear to 297 00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:48.160 be targeting anyone in particular, and it's a very diverse group walking around outside 298 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.880 shopping center in an urban area like this. So you know, if if 299 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.240 that was the theory, if that's the if that was his motivation, then 300 00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.720 it may have been a little misguided and he's a Hispanic guy, yeah, 301 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:07.279 who apparently has white supremacist tendencies. Yeah, it just doesn't make a whole 302 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:10.319 lot of sense. But we do know that he was kicked out of the 303 00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:14.359 military in two thousand and eight because of some mental health issues, so that 304 00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:18.920 may be a likely explanation for why this happened as well. And I guess 305 00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.000 a lot of people figure, you know, Texas, it's easy to get 306 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:23.960 your hands on guns. I gotta be honest. I mean, the fact 307 00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.480 that there was a police officer who was there, who then, you know, 308 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:32.839 as they say in law enforcement, neutralize the guy. I was kind 309 00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:36.319 of surprised that nobody else it's Texas, for God's sake. I guess you 310 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:40.720 just assumed the stereotype is everybody's packing. Well, a lot of people do. 311 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.519 You're right, And you have to wonder, so if the officer hadn't 312 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.799 confronted and shot this man, would someone else have done? So? It's 313 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.480 possible, but you know, the what ifs are just terrifying to ponder. 314 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.559 If you think that that officer hadn't been there, what else could have happened? 315 00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.119 What are the ages of the people who died? Do you know all 316 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.319 we know at this point only two of the people who have been identified, 317 00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:04.240 and that's not coming from police, it's coming from family members. A twenty 318 00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:07.839 year old security guard who was there at the mall, and then a twenty 319 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:11.880 seven year old woman who lived in Frisco or worked in Frisco, not far 320 00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:15.599 from Alan. Beyond that, we haven't been told about the ages of the 321 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.920 victims. A hospital where some of the victims are being treated. Those victims, 322 00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.880 those people range in age from five to sixty one. Some of those 323 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:26.440 people are in critical condition. Gen all right, thank you so much. 324 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:33.440 Jim, Thanks bye. That's ABC's Jim Ryan five. I know, I 325 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:40.119 know it shouldn't matter the age. I know, I don't know. There's 326 00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:47.720 just something about a little kid, you know, five years old, and 327 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:53.160 I don't care if this kid got grazed by a bullet. For the rest 328 00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:57.839 of that child's life, you're gonna tell me that he's not going to have 329 00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:03.680 some sort of pt D from when he was a kid, or that he's 330 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.079 going to be one of these people who suppresses and then all of a sudden 331 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:11.480 when he's thirty five, can't figure out why he has. You know, 332 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.240 I don't know, whatever it is he every time he passes an outlet, 333 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:21.559 mall he flinches? Come on, it doesn't in many cases to me, 334 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:29.279 of course, it is heartbreaking and devastating when people die, but it's sometimes 335 00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:37.160 a five year old who lives who for the rest of his life. As 336 00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:45.759 Handle would say, this cockroach has in many ways bruised this child's life from 337 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:52.079 here going forward. Oh this makes me sick. Okay, this doesn't make 338 00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.920 me sick. I was actually driving into work this morning and heard this story, 339 00:25:55.920 --> 00:26:02.000 and I went, go President Biden. I don't always agree with the 340 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:06.079 administration, but on this one, pretty sure any of us who have gone 341 00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:11.680 through any flight delays over the past couple of years are saying, pardon my 342 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:18.119 French bomb. Oh yeah. So, the Biden administration is proposing rule changes 343 00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:23.000 to compensate passengers for flight delays. Airlines would be required to offer compensation beyond 344 00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:30.559 refunds or controllable flight cancelations or significant delays. According to a White House official, 345 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:36.440 Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buddha Judge are taking the first step today in 346 00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:40.640 this rulemaking process. So they're going to look at whether airlines must also provide 347 00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:47.920 compensation and cover expenses for meals, lodging, and rebooking when they're responsible for 348 00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.680 stranding passengers. In the meantime, consumers will be able to check the government 349 00:26:52.759 --> 00:27:00.799 site flight rights dot gov flight rights dot gov to see what airline currently offer 350 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.359 which the administration it says is not enough. Now. I can't remember who 351 00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:11.720 the travel person that we had on with us, but somebody said if you 352 00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:17.480 oh, it was an interview that we did. They said that if you 353 00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:21.960 go to your say, you get delayed on your flight, and then all 354 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:23.359 of a sudden, the airline says, here you go where we are going 355 00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:29.440 to put you up in the you know, Acme hotel. And you're like, 356 00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.759 oh god, no, I'm not staying in the Acme hotel. You 357 00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:37.160 can ask for a different hotel. There's a good chance that they've got a 358 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:41.079 list and they're gonna, of course throw you in the ones that are cheapest. 359 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.519 But that might be the notel motel down the road right and you're thinking, 360 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.839 no, no, no, I don't want to stay in a hotel 361 00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.759 that is half a star. I'd like to stay in one that's at least 362 00:27:52.799 --> 00:28:00.039 I don't know, two stars, three stars, anti cockroach, one of 363 00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.279 those. Anyway, always ask no matter what. That's the one thing I 364 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.920 learned from this person who I can't remember. Sorry. DLA County Fairs up 365 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.039 and running at the Fair Plex in Pomona. The theme this year is Spring 366 00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:15.960 into Fair where fun blooms. How cute, But of course the talk is 367 00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:22.279 all about the food. So this year's choices include I'm not down with this 368 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:30.640 one. Absolutely no hot cheetos, cheese, pickled pizza, hot cheetos, 369 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:36.519 pot stickers. When we come up with something other than a hot cheetos variety, 370 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.920 a deep fried batter covered smores filled with melted marshmallows, chocolate sauce, 371 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:47.039 and crushed Graham crackers. That sounds awesome, although I also I'm like, 372 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.519 I bet you would burn the roof of your mouth on that one. God, 373 00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.960 I'm a kill joy. The fair open Friday. It runs through May 374 00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:56.319 twenty ninth. And speaking of fairs, the oc FAR has put out the 375 00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:00.160 help Wanted's fine because well it's that time of the year. The oc Fare 376 00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:04.839 is looking for about one thousand seasonal employees. Most physicians are part time with 377 00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:10.440 opportunities to build exhibits, work as a ticket taker, administrative assistant, or 378 00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:14.200 customer service rep. Workers are also wanted to help with parking, security, 379 00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:18.640 janitorial landscaping, maintenance, and admissions. Perks include discount tickets for friends and 380 00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.200 family, a chance to win a fair employee scholarship, and of course free 381 00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:26.799 admission for workers. Some year round jobs are also available in Orange County. 382 00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.640 Corbin Carson KOFY News. At least one person has been killed in a three 383 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:34.319 car crash on the one on one in East Hollywood that may have involved a 384 00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:40.440 wrong way driver. Two cars caught fire this morning. Firefighters say one person 385 00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:44.160 was taken to the hospital and Robert Dubucky's going to have all your traffic for 386 00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:47.480 you to make sure you can get through that area. At one point, 387 00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:51.240 all lanes of the southbound one oh one we're closed at Alvarado. I just 388 00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.839 saw one of the cams, though it looks like people are getting through now 389 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.720 maybe and the far right lane. So if you're driving that area, it's 390 00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:02.359 going to be a mess. All right, Let's talk about something and I 391 00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:07.599 you know what I love about this. It's a groundbreaking idea in Hollywood. 392 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.279 We have Paul Long, the founder of Kappa Studios, and Brad J. 393 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.240 Silverman, the chief content Officer, on with us this morning to talk about 394 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:19.119 not only a new movie that they have coming out, but I want to 395 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:23.640 get into everything on I know maybe that you're thinking a production company. I'm 396 00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:26.920 not sure if I want to know what the funding is. Oh, you 397 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:32.319 do, because these gentlemen have turned the way that revenue is brought in on 398 00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:34.440 its head. Paul and Brad, thank you so much. I appreciate your 399 00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.440 time this morning. Hi, your morning. Hello, Hey Jennifer. Great 400 00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:41.839 to be here. Well, thank you guys. So, first off, 401 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.559 can you tell me what the backstory is with Kappa Studios And maybe we should 402 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:51.839 probably start with you, Paul, because you're the founder. Yeah, sure, 403 00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:55.920 what you know about thirty years ago Cappa Studios was brought into being and 404 00:30:56.079 --> 00:31:00.880 we've been in business right over thirty years, and I say over the last 405 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:04.640 ten years. Ten ten years or so ago. I just really got convicted 406 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:10.480 about the way things were going in the culture and the way projects were coming 407 00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:12.119 out, the things we're putting our hand to. I felt we were turning 408 00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:15.599 the culture down, not really lifting it up. And so we just just 409 00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:18.359 through prayer and just really trying to figure out which way to go. We 410 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:21.880 came to the place of saying we're going to pivot the company, and the 411 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:25.480 pivot at our company about six years ago to do just nothing but faith and 412 00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:30.519 family, and the idea was just to lift up the culture and point people 413 00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.759 to stories that would encourage them and point them to God. So it's funny, 414 00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:41.720 obedience comes from blessing, I've been told. And we lost a lot 415 00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.920 of work at first and all that, but it spawned two things, the 416 00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.319 Christian Film Finishing Fund and cap of Distribution, which is what you were talking 417 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.400 about earlier. That's the vehicle we're using to get projects out and it's become 418 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:57.400 a real force multiplier and we have the capability to move out and we're projects 419 00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:01.400 in the year that would point people to God and the hope that comes from 420 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:07.920 serving him. Brad. I'm curious because I know that sometimes there is backlash 421 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:10.759 not just in Hollywood but in the media as well, the minute that you 422 00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:15.079 start to talk about faith in something or you say that something is faith based. 423 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:20.240 Have you guys had any pushback at all to things Some of those projects, 424 00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:23.880 Paul that you were mentioning, were the ideas behind them some of the 425 00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:29.839 things that maybe didn't get them picked up. Yeah, definitely, definitely there's 426 00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:32.480 backlash probably in anything you can do, certainly in our world. But I 427 00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.880 think there was kind of a self filtering process, Jennifer, where in our 428 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.799 case the backlash where people they wouldn't talk to us anymore. So it really 429 00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:45.319 wasn't a you know, no one wrote back shot about us or said bad 430 00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:50.559 things, but we I think it attracted the people that we were looking for 431 00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:53.720 and sort of self filtered out those who maybe we weren't a good fit for. 432 00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:59.319 How has the writers strike, if at all, affected your work. 433 00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:06.480 Yeah, I'll jep in you know, go ahead, WHI you take this 434 00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:09.480 one? Go ahead? So yeah, I would say that, Yeah, 435 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:14.440 I don't think the writer strike necessarily affected us yet because we're in the post 436 00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:19.680 production side and the distribution side. It may affect us down river, but 437 00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.920 it'll take it'll take months before we start to feel it if we do it 438 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:27.039 all. But you know, we're o our hearts and minds and work is 439 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:29.519 really focused on the post side, and like you mentioned earlier, we have 440 00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:34.319 our our first film under this new model that we're taking out later this year 441 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.480 through our distribution company, so that's where our attention is. So we'll see 442 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:40.519 if that strike gets resolved quickly. But right now, we got plenty work 443 00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:45.839 to do, Okay, so tell me the story of I can. The 444 00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:50.039 minute I started reading up about what this is about. Oh my gosh, 445 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:54.960 this young woman named Caitlin has become such an inspiration. Yeah, well, 446 00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:59.359 you know the story. We were very compelled by two This movie was brought 447 00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:02.480 to us and we just jumped into it because we just saw something really good 448 00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:06.079 here. And it's a story about a guy in the gal that meet each 449 00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.119 other at work and they enter into an adulterous relationship and they turn their back 450 00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:15.440 on their spouses and go off together. And the result of that adulterous union 451 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:17.800 is a little girl, cute little gal. Her name is Caitlin, and 452 00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:22.480 Caitlin's burn was just part of one arm missing. And so it's the story 453 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:27.119 that's the backdrop to the parents and what they have to fight through and where 454 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.920 they have to walk that path. And the little girl is just like a 455 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.599 rocket. She becomes an athlete and just the light of the life of the 456 00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:38.199 family. And I believe the father actually it was using the sports and background 457 00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:42.639 to just sort of help take the shame away from him and how he and 458 00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:46.840 his wife come to a place of recognizing that God has made Caitlin perfect for 459 00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:52.119 his purposes, and she goes on to become a college all American and right 460 00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:58.039 now there's just a lot of exciting stuff at hand for her. She's full 461 00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.039 right college scholarship, and she's just an incredible young woman. I think that 462 00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:07.440 that's the part of it that I really was. Anytime you watch somebody overcome 463 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:12.639 any sort of physical disability, especially one that they're born with, it is 464 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:15.880 so fascinating and inspirational and humbling, you know. I mean, it just 465 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:19.760 makes you look at yourself and go, oh, my gosh, I need 466 00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:24.280 to be quiet when it comes to, you know, being upset about these 467 00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:28.480 little things that are in my life. I could have a disability like that 468 00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:31.119 that I have to deal with on the daily basis. And instead of her 469 00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:36.480 focusing on that as a negative, she was like, that's all right, 470 00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:37.880 this is what I have, this is my life, this is who I 471 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:40.119 am, and so now I'm going to figure out how to make the most 472 00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:45.519 of it and continue my passion. I love stories like that. It is, 473 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:47.719 yeah, high a great thing. And I also say that one of 474 00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:54.239 the other things that you'll notice is this concept also is really touching on is 475 00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:59.159 God punishing us. That's what the parents were wondering. Is God punishing us 476 00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.519 for what we've done? And I think that's another question. There's so many 477 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:06.880 things in the culture how people do stuff. We all make mistakes, and 478 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:12.239 this really talks about God's forgiveness is well for us and the consequence of same. 479 00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:16.360 But they don't relate to her arm being malformed. She's been made perfect 480 00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:21.400 with God's purposes and so he could use her in a mighty way. Well, 481 00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:24.119 you guys, this movie sounds amazing. When is it coming out exactly? 482 00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:29.079 And where can people go and see it? Well, the first question 483 00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:31.159 is a million dollar questions. We're working on the askual release stage. Jennifer 484 00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:37.280 s e side of again. Anyone can go to I can movie just IICN 485 00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:42.840 movie dot info. I can movie dot info. We just released the first 486 00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:46.400 trailer this last week and it's just tarnative. We're so we're so honored that 487 00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:50.159 people are responding. It's a true story and I think, just like you 488 00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:54.119 said a minute ago, Jennifer, people are really responding to and look at 489 00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:57.039 what she is doing with one arm? What am I doing with two? 490 00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:00.880 So it's exciting. Yeah, you guys, Thank you, both so much, 491 00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:05.280 Paul Long, the founder of Kappa Studios, and Brad J. Silverman, 492 00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:07.599 the chief content officer. I hope you both have a wonderful day, 493 00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:13.719 and this movie sounds amazing. Thank you so much for your time. You 494 00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:21.119 guys, you too. I know, even if you don't look at the 495 00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:24.519 faith portion of it, I do just think it's such an inspirational movie. 496 00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:30.800 Right here's a kid born with half an arm. It goes on to get 497 00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:36.840 a college scholarship in softball? Did you get a scholarship of any kind? 498 00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:42.920 That's what I thought. Don't worry. I didn't either. Oh that's not 499 00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:52.159 true. I cut a five hundred scholarship from PEGNI to which if you see 500 00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:58.639 the interview, oh my god, this is so reading. Pulling the car 501 00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:06.079 over here for a quick story. I got the scholarship from PGNI. I 502 00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:09.960 don't even remember exactly what it was. I don't know about how public power 503 00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:15.800 was good, like I knew. I was seventeen in my senior year. 504 00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:22.880 Anyway, I remember getting called into the principal's office, which happened to time 505 00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:28.079 or two. I know you're shocked, and I just remember thinking, crap 506 00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:31.159 would I do this? Time? And going into his office and he's like, 507 00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:37.639 KRCR is here to interview you. We had one dinky little TV station 508 00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:43.079 at the time like that. Maybe that's still all gits there, not dinky 509 00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:45.880 to any krc R people who are listening. I didn't mean it like that, 510 00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:51.079 but anyway, So a reporter shows up and a cameraman and I'm in 511 00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:55.159 the quad. I remember what I was wearing. It was a white Stanford 512 00:38:55.280 --> 00:39:00.719 shirt because not because I thought I was going to go to Stanford. No. 513 00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:07.880 No, we had just one first place in small school at cheerleading competitions 514 00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:13.400 at Stanford. That's the one and only time I made an onto the Stanford 515 00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:17.840 campus was because I was a good cheerleader. Shock. Anyway, so they 516 00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:24.920 came to interview me. Get into it. I in all of my seventeen 517 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:30.320 year old senior wisdom, she says. The reporter says, well, tell 518 00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:36.159 me about your scholarship. Well, I went down to the public power place. 519 00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:43.639 Oh my god, they should have just cut me right there. And 520 00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:47.960 then I got the form to write this article. And so then I wrote 521 00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:53.360 it and I submitted it and I won. Okay, that was me in 522 00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:57.159 high school. I know. Some people say, yeah, I really haven't 523 00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:04.039 changed much, but that was story of my one scholarship. Let's end it 524 00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:07.800 on that.
