WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.919 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:15.199 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:22.719 Hey, it's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. 4 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:33.960 This is your wake up call for Friday, May seventeen. I'm Amy 5 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:38.200 King. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And whether you're listening on 6 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.840 the iHeart app or you're listening on the radio, We're happy you're here to 7 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.960 get your day started. Kick off to the weekend. It's going to be 8 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.280 a busy, busy day as always. Hey, last night I was watching 9 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:55.320 Amazing Race. It's actually on Wednesday nights, but I go to bed before 10 00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.719 it's on, so I watched it yesterday and one of the things that the 11 00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.560 teams had to do in the finale when they were in Philadelphia was they had 12 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:10.200 to memorize the preamble to the Declaration of Independence. And I was like, 13 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.159 you don't think that I even know that? And I was. I kind 14 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.560 of was getting teared up listening to them like recited, and so I thought, 15 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.599 maybe we'd start our Friday with the Preamble to the Declaration of independence. 16 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.760 We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, 17 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:36.000 that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among 18 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.599 these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure 19 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.799 these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the 20 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:51.799 consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these 21 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.599 ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, 22 00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.920 and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and 23 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:06.120 organizing its power in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect 24 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:12.039 their safety and happiness. Words we don't hear very often, but it's what 25 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.520 we're I mean, it's what we are thought. It was kind of a 26 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.840 cool reminder and a nice patriotic data. Is a way to start the day. 27 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.080 Here's what's ahead on wake up call. A Metro passenger has been shot 28 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.599 and killed on a bus in Commerce. The shooting yesterday is the fourth violent 29 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.439 attack on the Metro system just this week. La Mayor Bath says it's no 30 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:36.240 longer safe on Metro and announced plans to add more police to buses, trains, 31 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.319 and stations. Closing arguments could be held on Tuesday. In former President 32 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.120 Trump's trial in Manhattan. The judge says both sides should be ready by then. 33 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.840 Court adjourned for the week after ex Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's testimony wrapped up 34 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.840 yesterday. We're going to be talking with ABC's Peter Hara Lumbus, who's been 35 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.080 in the courtroom in Manhattan. We'll talk to him in just a couple of 36 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.840 minutes. The number one golfer in the world, who's favored to win the 37 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.960 PGA Championship, has been cuffed and put in the back of a cop car. 38 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:12.479 ESPN Siscottie Scheffler was detained for not following police instruction during traffic delays outside 39 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.479 Valhalla. Okay, that'll be interesting to say. I hope they get the 40 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.039 cuffs off in time for him to tee it up. We'll check in with 41 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.319 Jason Nathanson to find out if Imaginary Friends. We'll make a splash at the 42 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.879 box office and sometime this hour, I've got a four pack of one day, 43 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.120 one park tickets to the Disneyland resort, so you can go check out 44 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.560 Pixar Fest at Disneyland or Disney California Adventure Park that's coming up this hour. 45 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.479 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 46 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.599 hour newsroom. A man riding a metro bus and commerce has been fatally shot 47 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:47.240 by another passenger. La County Sheriff's deputies were called yesterday afternoon to a stretch 48 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:52.919 of Slawson Avenue between Eastern and Garfield where the bus was stopped. Suspect approached 49 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.479 the victim from behind, pointed a firearm at the victim. The victims sustained 50 00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.879 a gunshot wound. Lieutenant Arthur Spencer says the shooter ran off but was caught 51 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.120 a short distance away. The injured man died at the hospital. More police 52 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.159 officers are going to be patrolling the Metro system in La Mayor Bass ordered the 53 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.840 added officers. The mayor and other Metro board members have also ruled out a 54 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.439 motion that would increase police deployments on the system. The mayor says the system 55 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.160 has had a spike of violent crime. When you have a spike, you 56 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:26.600 respond aggressively to that spike, and that's what we're doing. Two people were 57 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.319 stabbed on the Metro system earlier this week. Officers say they've recently arrested people 58 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.600 for having drugs and weapons on them in downtown La Blake trolley Kafin News. 59 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:40.000 Airports are expected to be jam packed this summer. TSA officials say they're expecting 60 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.439 six to eight percent more people to travel around the US this year compared to 61 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.879 last. With Memorial Day just around the corner, officials are urging people to 62 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.319 get to airports early, get parked, and be prepared for long lines at 63 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:57.879 TSA checkpoints. Let's say, good morning now too, Peter Plumboss Peter, 64 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.000 no court today, but a lot happened. Yes, so if you would 65 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.439 tell us what happened. During the cross examination of former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, 66 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:12.120 yeah so. Over six hours of cross examination, defense lawyers hammered at 67 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.839 Michael Cohen's credibility and suggested that Cohen lied about a major piece of evidence in 68 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.560 the case. So on Tuesday, Cohen told jurors that in the days before 69 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:25.319 the twenty sixteen election, he called Donald Trump through his security guard to confirm 70 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.800 the plan to go forward with a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. But 71 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.439 yesterday defense lawyer's team was evidence suggesting that at the time, the major issue 72 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.759 on Cohen's mind, and the reason for that phone call was actually the fact 73 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:42.120 that Cohen was being dealing with an onslaught of prank calls from a fourteen year 74 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.319 old. Or saw text messages between the fourteen year old and Cohen, fourteen 75 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.199 year old saying quote, I didn't do it in all caps, I'm fourteen. 76 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.519 Please don't Michael Cohen say he was going to refer to the matter to 77 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:56.879 the Secret Service. And then we saw text messages between Cohen and Donald Trump's 78 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.160 security guard about referring the matter to the Secret Service. The evidence all suggesting 79 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.920 that the reason Michael Cohen placed that phone call on October twenty fourth, twenty 80 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.560 sixteen, the one he said was about the stormy Daniel Toush money payments, 81 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.000 was actually for Cohen to complain about this prank caller. Cohen stood by his 82 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.399 testimony, suggesting that at the end of the day, he was calling for 83 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.439 both to both complain about the prank caller and talk to Donald Trump. But 84 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.800 it remains an open question at this point whether or not the jury is going 85 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.759 to see his entire testimony as credible. Michael Cohen's the only witness in this 86 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.759 case who clearly pins Donald Trump to the underlying criminal conduct in his case. 87 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.759 Even if it's just one minor inconsistency in his testimony, they could have a 88 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:40.160 wide, raging impact on his credibility with this jury and their ability to trust 89 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:45.279 everything he said at face value, because the whole thing is about creating reasonable 90 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.120 doubt. Right. Yes, it's one hundred percent right. And that was 91 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:53.360 completely the aim of these two days of cross examination. Poke holes wherever they 92 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.360 can in Michael Cohen's testimony and hope that they could help create that reasonable doubt 93 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.879 in the mind of this jury so they don't take Michael Cohen word and they 94 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.759 tossed out his testimony basically. Okay, And now, Peter, I'm going 95 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.920 to remind everybody that you're in the courtroom, so you're seeing how they're reacting 96 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.920 and interacting and that kind of thing. And what we've heard is that Michael 97 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:18.560 Cohen has been very calm on the stand and hasn't really seemed flustered or anything. 98 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:23.439 Is that how he is? That's fair. I mean, I've seen 99 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:27.240 Michael Cohen testify before, and he was a flustered, defensive person on the 100 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.279 witness stand. He's very different during this trial. He's composed, he maintains 101 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.519 it's cool. He answers every question with a yes sir or a no, 102 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.560 sir. He hasn't really kind of fell into lines of question that would get 103 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.720 him agitated. But interestingly, yesterday the jury heard a different side of Michael 104 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.720 Cohen through a recording of Michael Cohen's podcast. So while Michael Cohen might become 105 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.800 cool and collected on the witness stand, they heard what Michael Cohen sounds like 106 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.839 when he goes on a podcast. They heard Cohen say, quote, I 107 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.720 want this man to go down and rot inside. That's the most team quote, 108 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.199 by the way, way that I can say on the radio. There 109 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:07.279 were other quotes that really suggested there was this deep animosity Michael Cohen seeming giddy 110 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.079 about the idea of Donald Trump getting indicted and going to prison. So while 111 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.040 the jury might have heard a common, cool, collected Michael cone on the 112 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.920 witness stand, they also heard an example that Michael coe is not always that 113 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.399 way, and that you know, when you take him out of the context 114 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.000 of a courtroom, he can sound very different about his former boss. Yeah, 115 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.199 and it's that, you know, with the whole personal vendetta thing. 116 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.800 Then saying, you know what, He's willing to go to any length to 117 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.320 see Trump get in trouble or get convicted. So be interesting to see how 118 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:41.799 they react to that. Is there any indication whether Trump is actually going to 119 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.000 take the stand. He has said before that he would be willing to, 120 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.279 but now they're saying, now we probably won't, or do we have any 121 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.919 update on that? So defense lawyers haven't made a final decision. The judges 122 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.279 asked them that on multiple times this week. One of my colleagues, who 123 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.840 was working in the hallway yesterday to handle I guess the camera for Trump's remarks, 124 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.720 asks Trump whether or not he's going to testify. Trump didn't answer that 125 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.159 question, but yeah, we've known he wants to testify. We know he's 126 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.519 kind of had cold feet with the gag order in the case. But it 127 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.639 remains an open question, and that question will really determine what the timeline of 128 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.960 this trial looks like. If Donald Trump testifies, that's going to take up 129 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.600 a good portion of next week. It's likely going to push closing statements until 130 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:26.320 after Memorial Day, with deliberations beginning in late May, possibly even early June. 131 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.240 Though if Donald Trump doesn't testify, the judges ready for the closing statements 132 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.679 in this case to happen on Tuesday, meaning the jury could get the case 133 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:39.279 Tuesday afternoon or begin deliberating on Thursday. That could rapidly speed up the timeline 134 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.519 for this case and possibly have a verdict by the end of next week. 135 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.399 Wow. Okay, then, and is Cohen done or is he back on 136 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.759 the stand Monday? So Cohen's nearly there. He's got about another hour or 137 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.799 so of cross examination on Monday morning, then a redirect examination where prosecutors will 138 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.720 try to rehabilitate some of the damage from that cross examination. After that, 139 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.679 he's the last prosecution witness. The prosecution will rest their case after twenty witnesses 140 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:11.080 in total, more than four weeks of testimony. And at that point it's 141 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.360 now in the defense's hands to determine how much of a case they want to 142 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.679 present. They've suggested that they might call one defense expert witness and then only 143 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.120 Donald Trump if they decide to make that decision. Okay, And you just 144 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.240 mentioned that the trial's been going on for four weeks already. Are you seeing 145 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.559 anything about people inside the courtroom and getting antsy to get this thing done? 146 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.600 Honestly, I hear a lot of amptiness from some members of the media in 147 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.960 terms of their plans for the long weekends, and you know, this thing 148 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.279 not getting in the way of the summer. But there hasn't been any indication 149 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.559 from the jury that they're tired or they're falling asleep. They seem as attentive 150 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.639 as they were on day one of this trial, to be honest. So 151 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.000 it doesn't seem like anyone's exhausted yet. So this thing has been going on 152 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.879 for a while when you consider jury selection, that one week of jury selection, 153 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.399 this trial has been going on in New York five weeks now, four 154 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.399 weeks of testimony in front of a jury. Well all right, well, 155 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.200 thank you for your information and your insight, because again, you've got eyes 156 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.320 on it and most people don't. And it's been really interesting to watch all 157 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:18.159 the recaps on the on the cable channels of how they're trying to portray what's 158 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.159 going on in the courtroom because they can't see it and they can't hear it 159 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.000 to share it with us. So I love that you're in there for us. 160 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.919 It's absolutely my pleasure to talk it through every day whenever the opportunity comes 161 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.039 up, happy to do so. All right, Well, let's plan to 162 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.080 talk next week then, Peter Hire Olumbus, thank you so much for your 163 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.759 time. Have a great weekend, Have a great weekend. All right, 164 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.159 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 165 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:46.639 hour newsroom. Classes that you see Irvine are returning to in person instruction. 166 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:52.519 Days after police and riot gear cleared out pro Palestinian protesters. Demonstrators had occupied 167 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.600 a lecture hall Wednesday, in what Chancellor Howard Gilman called a sad day for 168 00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.200 our university. Nearly fifty people were in arrest, including some who said they 169 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:07.080 are UCI faculty members. Sonoma State University President Mike Lee has been placed on 170 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.480 administrative leave after without approval from the cal State system. He sent out a 171 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.759 campus wide email talking about an agreement made between the school and pro Palestinian protesters. 172 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:24.279 I think the administrative leave doesn't go far enough that particular university leader has 173 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.519 no place leading a university in our state. California Congressman Kevin Kyleie says universities 174 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:33.600 that have elevated the voices and cave to the demands of protesters have silenced pro 175 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:39.320 Israelian Jewish groups. CSU says Lee has been put on leave because of insubordination 176 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:45.360 and consequences it has brought upon the system. Lee says he takes full ownership 177 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:50.639 of his actions. Leaders in LA have spoken out against a statewide ballot measure. 178 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.639 The business groups behind the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Acts say it would 179 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.080 give control over future taxes and tax increases to voters. LA Mayor Karen Bass 180 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.840 opposes it and was joined at a city hall rally yesterday by labor leaders and 181 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.639 city Council President Paul Grekorian, who says voters should say no. This is 182 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:15.120 another cynical, deceitful, dishonest attack on government. The opponents of the measure 183 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.759 argue it threatens billions of dollars in existing fees and charges and already approved ballot 184 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:26.840 measures. Michael monks KFI News there is a chase going on. Normally these 185 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.120 happened a little later in the day, but there's somebody in a white van. 186 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.039 Apparently it's a woman, and police have been following her trying to get 187 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.759 her to pull over. They've rammed the van that she's in several times. 188 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.399 She was in neighborhoods. Then she's back on the four or five, but 189 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:48.480 now she's speeding the wrong way on the four h five and like into oncoming 190 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:54.000 traffic. It's just crazy. They've got the police helicopters over her, and 191 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.519 it looks like they've shut down the freeway because now the freeway, the freeway 192 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:07.320 north bound is clear. Oh my goodness, so they've stopped traffic, and 193 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.480 now she's coming up to that line of where the traffic has stopped, so 194 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:15.679 there's a ton of cars waiting to get through, and she just plowed straight 195 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:22.120 into several of them, including confiding came to a stop when it hit a 196 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.440 semi and now the feed's breaking up, but it looks like she's gotten out 197 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:33.840 and is running off and just left a trail of destruction. Oh my goodness. 198 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:41.039 That is just scary. And now somebody's crawling climbing up onto the top 199 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.639 of a white van. Don't know if that's the person that they're going after, 200 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:52.320 if it's somebody else, but there's four or five wrecked cars and this 201 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.679 person just went head on and now police are going after them with it, 202 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.159 going after the person with a taser. We thought it was a woman. 203 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:05.279 It looks like a man can't tell, but was driving erratically and just now 204 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:11.360 she's got her hands over her head and she's surrounded by police again. This 205 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.799 is on the four h five at exit fifty five at Wiltshire Boulevard. Traffic 206 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.320 at a standstill, several officers around this person and now they're grabbing that person 207 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.399 and taking him into custody. Wow, that is a crazy way to start 208 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.759 the day. So if you're stuck on the four h five, that is 209 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:35.799 why. Hopefully they'll figure out what was going on. This person was driving 210 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.480 like erratically and then they it would get hit by a police car and then 211 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.320 would spin around and keep on going and then would get rammed by a police 212 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.279 cars they do those pit maneuvers and then would keep going and just very very 213 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.879 crazy. Okay, did we get Jim Ryan back on the phone. Okay, 214 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.279 Well, let's get back to what we're following in the KFI twenty four 215 00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.320 hour newsroom. Looks like they have taken this person into custody. The county 216 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:06.559 supervisors have voted to approve funding for the legal bills of pro Palestinian protesters who 217 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:12.120 were arrested at UCLA. Republican Supervisor Catherine Barger was the sole vote against the 218 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:18.799 motion. The Biden administration is moving forward with a proposal to reclassify marijuana from 219 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.399 a Schedule one to a Schedule three drug. In a video posted on ex 220 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:30.639 President Biden called the proposal an important move toward reversing long standing inequities. Gaza 221 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.799 is getting aid thanks to that floating pier the US built in the Mediterranean Sea. 222 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.279 A judge has given Huntington Beach one hundred and twenty days to come up 223 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.799 with a plan that zones for more than thirteen thousand affordable housing units. Huntington 224 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.279 Beach is not above the law. State ag Rob Bonta says his office will 225 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.879 not stop fighting to solve the housing crisis, working with cities and counties that 226 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.559 genuinely want to be part of the solution, and holding accountable those that do 227 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.960 not. Huntington b City Attorney Michael Gates says he will appeal Tuesday's rule on 228 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:04.000 the year long lawsuit. The environmental protections under State Lark completely being trampled, 229 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.200 ignored, and set aside in favor of heighthensity development. The housing mandate requires 230 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:12.240 cities to zone for affordable housing, which developers can then decide to build by 231 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:17.519 twenty thirty in Orange County. Corbin Carson kf I news. A fifteen year 232 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:21.599 old boy attacked by three other teens in South la is in grave condition. 233 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:25.880 Police a two teens were eating at a restaurant on Tuesday night when they were 234 00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:30.079 approached from behind and brutally beaten. The fifteen year old sister says her brother 235 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.000 did not know the people who are attacked her attacked him. One guy was 236 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:37.640 arrested Wednesday on suspicion of attempted murder. Investigators are trying to find the two 237 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:42.640 others. A ups driver has been fatally shot in Irvine. Police Sergeant Carrie 238 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:48.000 Davies says the driver was on lunch break yesterday in his van when a pickup 239 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.519 truck pulled up and the driver fired a shot. The driver of the suspect 240 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:53.720 vehicle never got out of the car, just reached across the passenger seat and 241 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.200 shot the driver through the window. Davy says it does not appear to have 242 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:02.160 been a robbery. The suspected shooter was arrested a few hours later in Orange 243 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.359 following a standoff with SWAT. The FBI, says former La City Attorney Mike 244 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:11.240 Feuer lied to investigators looking into how the city handled litigation over the botched rollout 245 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:17.079 of a DWP billing system. It led to a lot of customers being wildly 246 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:21.160 overcharged. The court documents were released this week. Fewer was never charged with 247 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:25.359 a crime and has denied he knew anything about any collusion in the handling of 248 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:29.759 the litigation over the flawed billing system. Country singer Zach Bryan and his girlfriend 249 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.039 have walked away from what they call a traumatizing car crash while headed to Arkansas. 250 00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:38.759 Podcaster Brianna chicken Fry says their car flipped several times Tuesday and there was 251 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:41.359 glass everywhere. Thank god, we had our seatbelts on, but there was 252 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.680 a lot of blood and we thought like we were like saying goodbye to each 253 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:52.079 other. She says. Brian needed stitches, but they're doing well and are 254 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.160 happy to be alive. Brian is currently on his Quitton Time tour and played 255 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:59.640 a show in Arkansas the day after the crash. He'll be heading to la 256 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.559 soon, where he'll do three nights at Crypto dot Com Arena starting on June's 257 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.960 second. A woman in a white van's been taken into custody after a wild 258 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:12.720 chase around West LA this morning. The chase ended when the drivers, speeding 259 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:18.519 southbound in northbound lanes crashed into several vehicles that police had stopped on the freeway 260 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.279 for the chase. At least two officers were hurt. The carpool lane appears 261 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.440 to be getting through on the four or five, but that's about it for 262 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.640 now. Russell's going to get an update for us on that. In just 263 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:32.039 a couple of minutes, a Metro passenger has been shot and killed on a 264 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:36.079 bus in Commerce. The shooting yesterday afternoon is the fourth violent attack on the 265 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.920 Metro system this week. LA Mayor Baths says it's no longer safe on Metro 266 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.880 and announced plans to add more police to buses, trains, and train stations. 267 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.640 And La Metro Committee has approved a new budget for the agency that is 268 00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:52.319 larger than the budgets of eleven states in the US. The committee says the 269 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.160 nearly nine billion dollar spending plan will be used to finalize infrastructure projects, boost 270 00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:02.000 ridership, and increase safety. Five Handle on the News. Something apparently happened 271 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:06.079 four years ago at Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's house, and it's causing a 272 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.119 big stink. Now, I'll tell you about what it is at five point 273 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:14.279 fifty. Nothing imaginary about this friend. ABC's Jason Nathanson will join us with 274 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.359 if in Theaters. I've been waiting this for this one for a long time 275 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.000 too, Season three, one of my favorite shows on the stream. Let's 276 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.400 say good morning now to the host of Home on KFI. It's the house 277 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.759 whisper, Dean Sharp. Good morning Dean, Good morning Amy. You know 278 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:34.680 we're going to talk about all of us being biophiliacs in just a second. 279 00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:40.960 But also I know that you are a bee guy and World b Day is 280 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.319 Monday. Did you know that? I did not know that it is. 281 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:47.480 Do you have a Do you have a hive? I? Do you have 282 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:52.079 a well? I went out to the Valley Hive in Chatsworth. Yeah, 283 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.000 yeah, yeah, And so we're going to take you on a little journey 284 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:59.400 to discover bees for World b Day on Monday. So I thought i'd let 285 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.720 you know about because I know you're a big b fan. That's perfect That 286 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:08.079 Vallei Hive is the best place in town to do that too, So great. 287 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:17.640 Okay, so let's talk about being biophilias biofiliate. Is it well? 288 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:22.480 We're talking about outdoor living this weekend, and I'm taking a slightly different approach. 289 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.599 I feel like I have over the years here warmed up our listeners enough 290 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:32.480 to hit them with the hard stuff. And that is basically biophilic design. 291 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:37.160 And it's not anything radically new. Architecture has been addressing it for a while, 292 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:42.039 but it's important to understand, I think more and more important these days. 293 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:48.000 Biophilia simply means a love of nature, or maybe the better way to 294 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:53.359 express it or translated is a partnership with nature. I love nature. I 295 00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.480 know you do. We all do. And here's the thing. Here's the 296 00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:03.039 thing. We all love nature more then even a lot of people realize they 297 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.079 love nature, because there are folks out there these days, lots who are 298 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.039 like, no, I'm kind of an inside person, I'm kind of an 299 00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:12.440 urban person. I'm not a nature lover. Well you may think that, 300 00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:18.519 but it's actually not true. At least it's not true for your body. 301 00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:25.559 And that's what biophilic design is all about. It addresses the fact that we're 302 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.799 starting to realize now in a major way, so much of the stress, 303 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:37.880 anxiety, and learning disability issues that we have contributed to our inexperiencing our generation 304 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.559 like never before. That a lot of it comes from the fact that we 305 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:48.680 have cut ourselves off more and more from the natural world around us when our 306 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:52.279 bodies are programmed to be a part of it. I mean, we're talking 307 00:22:52.319 --> 00:23:00.240 about two million years of experience with the surroundings and the sensorial experience of outdoors. 308 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.759 And now, more than ever, especially like in the last seventeen years, 309 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.799 we're indoors. We're glued to screens all day long, and it's having 310 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:14.559 its effect on us. And so even our solutions get ahead in the wrong 311 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:17.720 direction. And what I mean by that is, well, let me ask 312 00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:18.920 you this. I'll give you a little quiz. Okay, are you ready? 313 00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:23.039 All right? So you know, we all know that noise at some 314 00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.599 level is stressful, right, Urban noise is stressful. In fact, we 315 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:34.920 found that studies have shown every five decibel increase in background noise correspondingly decreases reading 316 00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:41.000 comprehension in children by two months. Right. Well, constant background noise, 317 00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:45.200 yeah, all right, you raise the level of that noise five decibels, 318 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:52.440 you will decrease reading comprehension levels by two months of progress. And the more 319 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.839 you go, the more it decreases. Okay, it's attention deficit issues, 320 00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:02.960 it's learning comprehension issue, and so on. So we all know that noise 321 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.680 is stressful to us. It raises cortisol levels in us, whether we are 322 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:11.440 paying attention to it or not. So we naturally these days try to escape 323 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.799 at times from the noise and get quiet. So here's the quiz. When 324 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:22.519 you're getting away from urban noise, what do scientific studies revealed to be the 325 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:29.960 sound environment most relaxing to the human mind. Is it meditative music, quiet, 326 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:36.039 meditative music like we put in our headphones. Is it total silence like 327 00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:40.240 you put your headphones on noise canceling mode and you just sit in silence. 328 00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:45.079 Or bird song? Which is it? Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna guess 329 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.440 based on what you've just been telling us, that it's going to be bird 330 00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:53.920 song. It is absolutely one hundred percent bird song, without question, without 331 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:59.319 question. Noise is stressful to us, but we're beginning to find out that 332 00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:04.519 total silence is also when we're awake, is also stressful to the human mind. 333 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:10.880 And the reason is this. We have cohabitated outdoors in nature with birds, 334 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.599 like I said, for two million years and birds are amazing. They're 335 00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.480 hyper aware of their environment, and so when there are predators nearby, or 336 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.559 when there are dangers nearby, guess what the birds do. Sinking silent, 337 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:29.839 they stop singing. Okay, So absolute silence to a human mind on a 338 00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:36.880 deeply subconscious level, is actually more stressful than hearing birds song, because when 339 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:40.079 we get up in the morning and the birds are chirping and singing and going 340 00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:42.559 about their business, whether we realize it or not, it is a message 341 00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:48.359 to us to our brains, hey, everything's okay, business is usual, 342 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.759 it's safe out here. Enjoy your day. And that's literally what it communicates 343 00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:57.400 to our minds because we have been ingrained to understand it that way. And 344 00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:03.440 that is just one example of what we're talking about when we say biophilic design, 345 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:06.440 and we're not talking about stuff like, oh, sure, Dean, 346 00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:08.480 if you have ten million dollars, you can build a house like a nautilus 347 00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.880 shell and have you No, no, no, no, it's not that 348 00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.519 this weekend. We're talking about very simple things like, hey, for your 349 00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:22.000 backyard, buy a bird feeder, bring birds into your yard. You you 350 00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.559 will have less stress and be more relaxed when you spend time outdoors. Oh 351 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.200 I love that. Okay, well, I'm going to look forward to that 352 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.960 because it sounds so nice and relaxing. It is, And I bet you 353 00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:38.200 have a relative. I bet you have other tips and tricks to make your 354 00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:45.799 outdoor space relaxing and inviting and biophilic. Exactly. It's just the tip of 355 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:49.119 the iceberg. We have a whole list of things that people real things, 356 00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:53.839 real world things that people can do with their own homes to change the way 357 00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:57.839 they experience nature around their home. Yes, I think we do need to 358 00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:00.640 reconnect with nature. It's going to be so interesting. Okay, So you 359 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:06.119 can listen to Dean Sharp. He has a show called at Home with Dean. 360 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:08.039 Actually, it's just Home with Dean Sharp, isn't it. What's the 361 00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.559 it's home? Yeah, home, It's just home. So come on home 362 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:18.200 to KFI Saturday from six to eight am, and then also on Sunday from 363 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:26.000 nine to noon with Dean. Sorry, Dean, I'm I'm discombobulated because I'm 364 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:29.680 excited because we're giving away Disneyland tickets. In a second. Oh my gosh, 365 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.000 can I can I participate? No? No, sorry, it's for 366 00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.000 week up call listeners only, So thank you. So much. Looking forward 367 00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.839 to finding out more about biophiliac. Is it philiac or philic? Uh? 368 00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:47.279 Biophilia? Okay, Pha, love it? Thank you, Dan Jay, 369 00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:51.000 thank you. Have a good day. Uh. Let's get back to some 370 00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:52.920 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A volunteer 371 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:59.039 who offered medical aide protesters at UCLA says it was like a battlefield when police 372 00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:02.119 moved in to clear the camp. Elaine Chan went to UCLA and says she 373 00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:04.960 was treating broken bones, head injuries, and bleeding wounds without water and power. 374 00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.559 She told Kaiser Health News the injuries were from rubber bullets and other less 375 00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:12.799 lethal weapons, but a tipity chief from LAPD and a source with CHP both 376 00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:15.920 say they don't even own rubber bullets, and the primary less lethal weapon of 377 00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:21.279 choice as a forty millimeters foam projectile. Pepper spray, aerial flash bangs and 378 00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:26.240 batons are also used. A bean background is used for targeted tactical situations and 379 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.559 typically not in large crowds. All weapons are deployed only when directed to do 380 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:36.039 so. Steve Gregory Kaphie News Israeli protesters have attacked a truck in the West 381 00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:41.640 Bank after an apparent effort to block AID into Gaza. The Israeli military says 382 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.039 the protesters beat the driver and set the truck on fire. Israeli soldiers were 383 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:49.240 also attacked as they tried to separate the attackers from the driver and provide medical 384 00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:55.000 treatment. Israeli media says the truck was carrying ordinary commercial goods, not AID 385 00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:59.960 for Gaza. The third annual Women's Lifeguard Prep Academy is taking over Venice Beach 386 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.480 this weekend. The two day academy, hosted by the La County Fire Department, 387 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.680 is open to anyone sixteen and older interested in training for a career as 388 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.480 an ocean lifeguard. Participants will be led by professional lifeguards and firefighters. They'll 389 00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:14.920 swim in the ocean, run in the sand, and do a series of 390 00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:19.319 physical fitness exercises. We're following that wild chase this morning on the four or 391 00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:26.480 five. It is over after several pit maneuvers by LAPD officers. A female 392 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.359 suspect in a white van who had evaded police during a high speed chase has 393 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:37.000 been detained near the Wilshire Boulevard exit of the northbound four or five Freeway. 394 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.000 She was speeding southbound in lanes and crashed into several cars. That's when the 395 00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:47.119 chase finally ended. Almost half the protesters arrested at UC Irvine this week were 396 00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:51.960 not students. Twenty six were students, two were faculty, nineteen had no 397 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.200 affiliation with the school. You see, Irvine will resume in person classes today 398 00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:00.359 following the protests earlier this week, the House is passed the Ticket Act, 399 00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:06.480 which will make ticket sellers disclose all hidden fees before you actually purchase the tickets. 400 00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:10.640 It also bans sales of tickets that sellers don't actually have, and guarantees 401 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:12.559 refunds for events that get canceled. It now moves over to the Senate. 402 00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:17.160 We're just minutes away from handle. On the news this morning, the Biden 403 00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:21.720 administration says it's going to speed up the process for people crossing the border claiming 404 00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:26.759 asylum. But right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jason Nathansen. 405 00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:30.759 Jason, what if we all went to the movies this weekend? What would 406 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:36.440 we see? We would see if Imaginary Friends. Although I think this chase 407 00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:40.599 this morning was quite more captivating than any of the movies. It was wild. 408 00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:42.680 I haven't seen something like that, especially live in a long time. 409 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.319 I hope the people in those cars are okay, But that was that's a 410 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:51.960 wild, wild chase anyway, if is it stands for an imaginary friend? 411 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.599 Right? If always would I didn't even make that case, So there you 412 00:30:55.640 --> 00:31:00.359 go. It's from writing director John Krasinski. It's about a girl who discover 413 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.960 she can see everyone's imaginary friends, and she embarks on a magical adventure to 414 00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:08.119 reconnect forgotten imaginary friends with their kids. Right, because when you have an 415 00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.680 imaginary friend is a kid. When you're a kid, then you grow up 416 00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:15.839 and you forget about that imaginary friend, but the imaginary friends still there. 417 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:18.920 It's just in limbo. What does it do? Where does it go? 418 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.119 How does it? You know? So that's kind of what that's about. 419 00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.240 Ryan Reynolds Stars. This is live action and animation, So like Roger Rabbit, 420 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.039 right, think about that, Like, so you have actual actors walking 421 00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:34.079 around in the world with animated beings. Ryan Reynolds Stars, he's a real 422 00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:37.720 life person in this. Kayleie Fleming is the girl in this. And then 423 00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:41.559 you have the voices of the imaginary friends voiced by Steve Carell, Phoebe waller 424 00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.640 Bridge, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt of course, because that's John Krasinski's wife, 425 00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.079 and a bunch of others. But unfortunately, if just didn't work for 426 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:56.200 me. I really wanted. I love the premise and I love the thought 427 00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:01.160 of it and the Roger Rabbit comparison. Just no that that's the style that 428 00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:05.039 you're kind of going into, but the movie's nothing like that, So don't 429 00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.799 expect that kind of energy. Don't like, get that out of your mind. 430 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.240 Okay. I wanted it to have a little bit more of that energy, 431 00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:13.720 but it did not. It was just a bit too serious. It 432 00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.160 was trying too hard to be emotional. I didn't cry once, although it 433 00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:22.400 really wanted me to, like really bad at wanted me, and I just 434 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.559 it's it's a little slow and a little too kind of cloying there. I 435 00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:29.519 can't see little kids liking it because it's a little too slow and not wacky 436 00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:32.319 enough, like there's a sweet spot in there maybe for an eleven or twelve 437 00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:36.640 year old, And that's kind of it. And I have to say, 438 00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:38.880 I went to a theater where a bunch of kids were watching it. There 439 00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:44.039 are kids on their iPads in the theater with the sound on in the iPad, 440 00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:47.359 So parents, please do a better job. That's really annoying. Yeah, 441 00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.920 the hearts were in the right place in the making of this movie, 442 00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:55.559 just didn't work for me six point four out of ten, So on the 443 00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:00.000 Jason on them. But it's going to win the weekend and pretty well because 444 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.680 we haven't had a family type friendly film in a while. And that big 445 00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:07.160 furry one is so cute. Yeah it is. Some of the characters are 446 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:12.000 cute, but yeah, just a miss okay, not cute enough, Okay, 447 00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:15.519 So then let's move on. We've got Amy Winehouse in theaters thirteen years 448 00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:20.000 after she died. Why, Yeah, this is a biopic about her. 449 00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:25.039 We haven't had that, and her life is certainly warranted of that and her 450 00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.759 voice and everything about her, and I think a lot of people there are 451 00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.480 a lot of questions about exactly what happened. Why did a twenty seven year 452 00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:36.400 old woman basically drink herself to death when she was on top of the world, 453 00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:39.240 and you know, she had a voice that was just so unique and 454 00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:43.480 so wonderful. So that's what this story is about. Back to black, 455 00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:49.680 the story of Amy Winehouse played by Marisa Abella, who when first clips of 456 00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:54.240 this came out. She was savaged on the internet, particularly on TikTok because 457 00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:59.279 said she didn't look enough like Amy No her voice people were they thought that 458 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.279 the singing was very affected and Marissa Abela is doing I don't know if it's 459 00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.119 all the singing, but she does a lot of the singing in this, 460 00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.840 and they felt that her voice just didn't stand up to Amy Winehouse's, that 461 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:12.599 it was too affected with the runs, and Ammy Winehouse had a very affected 462 00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:15.719 voice. I would say put that aside. It's not a train wreck. 463 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.400 It's not a disaster. Some people were worried about or had you believe. 464 00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:24.119 But the film itself, I don't know that it does Amy Winehouse justice because 465 00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:28.960 a film like this could be an Oscar winning film, right. We've seen 466 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:31.840 him before, certainly when it comes to music biopics. If done right, 467 00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:38.400 they do win Oscars. This is not there. It's not terrible, so 468 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:44.480 maybe wait and watch it on the stream. Possibly Mauricy Abella brings a nice 469 00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:46.519 humanity to it, but we just don't learn enough. I feel about the 470 00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:51.639 demons that drove this woman to basically drink herself to death, and maybe she 471 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:53.960 didn't have those demons. Some people are just their their chemistry is like that. 472 00:34:54.320 --> 00:35:00.239 You know, they don't necessarily need trauma to then turn into the trad 473 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:05.480 But too many unanswered questions here six point six out of ten for me. 474 00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:07.800 Okay, and then finally, let's move over to the stream because I've been 475 00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:12.760 waiting for this one for a while. Now, are you talking about Bridgerton? 476 00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:15.320 Yes, I assume season three at Bridgerton, which is out, and 477 00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:20.679 yes, people have been waiting for a while fans of Bridgerton, of which 478 00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.880 I am not. I really I like it's more of a chick flicky kind 479 00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:27.320 of thing. Yeah, but that's fine. I like chicklicks like I have 480 00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:30.559 no problem with that. And I did watch the first season and enjoy it. 481 00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:32.599 Second season I just dropped off. Didn't do anything for me, and 482 00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:35.880 I didn't go back to it, and I don't know that I'm going to 483 00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:38.440 go back to it. But this season is getting mostly positive reviews. People 484 00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:43.920 seem to really be liking it, and you know, it's more of the 485 00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:46.960 same kind of stuff you can expect. Covers, you know, classical style 486 00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:51.880 covers of Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish and things like that. That's one of 487 00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:53.880 my favorite things about Bridgerton. Is the music. I know people love the 488 00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:58.719 soundtrack and score for those reasons, so you can expect a lot more of 489 00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:02.480 that. The costumes, the Regency era drama, all of that is back. 490 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:06.280 And they're splitting this season into two parts, so you get a bunch 491 00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:09.159 of episodes now and then you're gonna get the second half of it next month 492 00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:14.400 June thirteenth. Oh and speaking of that, yes, you got me all 493 00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:16.480 excited for Hacks. And they did the same thing with Hacks. They only 494 00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:20.880 let out four episodes and then they just released two more. Well, no, 495 00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:23.039 they did two at the beginning and then two. They're doing a weekly 496 00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:27.920 drop for Hacks, and that they're doing two episodes a week. I believe 497 00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:31.360 that that's the case, and that's been the case. That's how Max releases 498 00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:36.199 stuff. They're usually not an all at once type, but all of these 499 00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:39.280 streaming services they're playing around with different things because at the end of the day, 500 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:43.519 what's most important for them is that you stay watching on the service. 501 00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:45.960 So if you release it, I'm just going to give all of you guys 502 00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:50.679 a message right now, Netflix, Max, release it all at once, 503 00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:54.000 and I promise you I will sit by my television set all weekend and binge 504 00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:57.519 it. Yeah, but then once you're done, you're done, and then 505 00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:00.920 you don't turn it on again. Yes, I do. I go look 506 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:04.519 for more stuff. Okay, well there you go. All right. Jason 507 00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:07.639 Nathanson, thank you so much for all the information.
