WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty Wake Up Call with Me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.880 demand on the iHeartRadio app this Friday, February twenty third. I'm Amy King, 3 00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:17.359 got my coffee, got yours, jumping up and down, getting the 4 00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:23.280 energy going, getting ready to go. Technical producer Tony is disagreeing with me 5 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.239 completely. At least your eyes are open, Tony, so that's good. 6 00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:34.719 Hey. You know, the SAG Awards are this weekend, and as being 7 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:39.439 an employee of KFI, we are union members, so we get to screen 8 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.880 the movies. So I had to catch up because the voting deadline is noon, 9 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.280 and I've seen most of them, but there was a couple I hadn't 10 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.600 seen. And the one I hadn't seen, or one of the ones I 11 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:54.840 hadn't seen, was Poor Things, the Emma Stone movie. It was weird 12 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.640 and I remember people saying it's weird, and I'm not going to tell you 13 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:04.200 any about it because I had no idea what it was really about, and 14 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.560 uh, I guess that made it more entertaining. She did. She did 15 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.680 an amazing job. But just know that there's a lot of sex and a 16 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.920 lot of nudity. So I'm glad I didn't go like to a movie theater 17 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.480 with a friend and see it because it would have been really uncomfortable. She's 18 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:25.079 amazing, but uh anyway, and then I also watched The Color Purple because 19 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.840 it's nominated for a couple of things. And I have to tell you, 20 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.920 some of the songs were really good. Some of them kind of fell short. 21 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.079 And I think my expectations were too high because I loved the original movie 22 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.560 The Color Purple. I thought it was just so so iconic and good. 23 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.280 So this one just kind of dragged on and I found myself up and about 24 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:49.760 doing stuff around the house and then going, oh, wait, I'm watching 25 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.120 a movie. So anyway, That's that's how I spent my day yesterday. 26 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.079 But here's what's ahead. On wake Up Call today, AT and T says 27 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.959 a cell phone outage that affected about seventy five thousand phones across the US is 28 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:06.599 over. AT and T says it was a technical issue, but the Department 29 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.960 of Homeland Security and the FBI say they are going to look into the outage 30 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.719 to make sure it wasn't part of a cyber attack. Plans to build a 31 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:19.439 gondola to take fans from Union Station over neighborhoods to Dodger Stadium are a step 32 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:24.039 closer to becoming reality. The La Metro Board of Directors approved an environmental impact 33 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:30.919 statement yesterday and also okay plans to address concerns of residents and business owners who 34 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:36.680 will be impacted by the gondola. Google has put its Gemini AI image generator 35 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.840 on pause. Apparently users had been complaining that it was generating inaccurate historical images 36 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.800 like black founding fathers, a female pope, and also black vikings. Google 37 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:52.240 says it's working on a fix and will release an updated version of the generator 38 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:54.800 pretty soon. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. We're 39 00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.719 coming up on the two year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Let's get 40 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.439 started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 41 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:07.919 At and T says sell service that affected more than seventy thousand customers yesterday. 42 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:14.080 Actually an interruption was not caused by a cyber attack. ABC's Josh Marglin's 43 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.800 has the company confirmed it was a coding error. Somebody did something with the 44 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:21.120 software with the updating moving back and forth. They say it was purely a 45 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.759 software glitch. It was resolved and they are working to make sure that everything 46 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:30.879 is fixed and doesn't happen again. The outages started at just shortly after midnight 47 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.199 our time yesterday and affected service pretty much all day. Jurors in the murder 48 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.960 trial of Grossman Burne Foundation co founder Rebecca Grossman are do back in court in 49 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:44.360 Van Nuys for their first full day of deliberations. They got the case yesterday. 50 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.400 Grossman is charged with killing two young brothers in twenty twenty while speeding in 51 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:53.599 Westlake Village. Her lawyers have argued hers was not the first car that hit 52 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:59.400 the boys. The judge in former President Trump's civil fraud trial in New York 53 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.800 has denied a request to delay enforcement of penalties. Trump was ordered to pay 54 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.840 three hundred and fifty five million dollars earlier this week and was given a month 55 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.159 to do it. His lawyers asked for a thirty day extension to come up 56 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.439 with the money. The judge found Trump's team failed to explain or justify any 57 00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:20.360 basis for a delay. The first US spacecraft has landed on the Moon's surface 58 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:27.680 since Apollo seventeen touchdown in nineteen seventy two. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson praised the 59 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.079 effort it took to get the Odysseus to the Moon yesterday, a new adventure 60 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:39.000 in science, innovation, an American leadership in space. Well, all of 61 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:45.160 that aced the landing of a lifetime. The unmanned lander will spend about a 62 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.680 week gathering data before it loses power. NASA is planning to land a crew 63 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:55.199 near the Moon's south pole in twenty twenty six. Just getting news into the 64 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.160 KFI news room, the President Biden has announced more than five hundred new sanctions 65 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:04.920 on Russia over its war in Ukraine and the death of opposition leader Alexey Navalny. 66 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:12.480 The US is also imposing exports export restrictions on about one hundred entities that 67 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:18.120 support Russia's military efforts, and will also take action to reduce Russia's energy revenues. 68 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:24.000 Those all coming from a statement released by the White House. President Biden 69 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.519 has met with the wife of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalney, who died in 70 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.000 prison. Biden says Navolney was a man of incredible courage. We're going to 71 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:38.399 be announcing the sanctions against Putin, who is responsible for his death, and 72 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:43.680 that the one thing I made that was made clear to me is that Yolana 73 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:48.399 is She's going to continue to fight. The US is expected to impose more 74 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:54.040 than five hundred new sanctions, which had just announced this morning. They will 75 00:05:54.079 --> 00:06:00.000 again target Russia's military industrialized complex, energy revenues, and third parties who ass 76 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:04.040 s MUSCO and assessing or accessing supplies required for the war effort. A fake 77 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:09.639 doctor from Orange County who served prison time for practicing without a license allegedly tried 78 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.360 to open a new, unlicensed business just two weeks after he got out of 79 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:18.839 prison. The Orange County DA's Kimberly Eds says Elias Segoviano pleaded guilty to charges 80 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:23.879 less than a year ago that he targeted mostly Hispanic women and did illegal botox 81 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:29.079 procedures on them. Many of these women suffered serious disfigurement as a result because 82 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.879 he had no idea what he was doing. Prosecutors say the guy was released 83 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:36.639 from prison on December twenty second and tried to start the new business on January 84 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:42.560 fourth. He's facing the same charges he did before. A federal judge in 85 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.279 Orange County says the founder of an alleged white supremacist group will not face charges 86 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:51.920 related to a fight because of anti fire right bias. The man and others 87 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.839 are accused of attacking rivals at a rally back in twenty seventeen. Well A 88 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:01.240 judge ruled Wednesday that because the prosecutors chose not to go after charges against Antifa 89 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.560 members from the same rally, he was not going to allow charges against the 90 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:10.040 far right group, even though he said they deserve to be prosecuted. The 91 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:15.639 judge said far left groups did much worse. LA County says the food delivery 92 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.759 app grub Hub has been ripping off customers. The suit, filed Wednesday afternoon, 93 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.160 alleges, among other things, grub Hub would promote free food but then 94 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.199 add on hidden fees at the last minute. Scott Coons, an attorney with 95 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.720 the county, and says the companies also misrepresenting driver's fees on the app. 96 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.480 It's sort of like hide the ball, bait and switched tactics that are very 97 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:39.160 frustrating for consumers and frustrating for drivers. Grubhub disputes the claims and says it's 98 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:44.040 clarified language on the app to be more transparent. Steve Gregory KFI News, 99 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.000 a former FBI and format accused of lying about bribery allegations against President Biden and 100 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:55.120 his son Hunter is back in federal custody. ABC's alex Stonesa's The arrest yesterday 101 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:59.240 came as Alexander Smirnoff was meeting with his lawyers in Vegas. There was a 102 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.199 warrant tell this charges from California, on which he had been previously arrested. 103 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.079 According to his attorney, Smirnavy is charged with making false statements to federal agents. 104 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.439 Smirnov is also charged with having ties to Russia. He was initially set 105 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:16.360 free Tuesday under certain conditions, like having to wear a GPS monitor and turning 106 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.439 over his passports. Prosecutors argued his foreign ties and access to money would allow 107 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.920 him to flee the country before going to trial. A bachelor's degree from community 108 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.360 college could be free under a new state bill. Assemblyman Miguel Santiago says the 109 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.480 state's education system has enough money to offer the free degrees. In fact, 110 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.399 the community college funding has increased over the last several years. K through twelve 111 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.200 funding has increased. Under a current program, students can get two years of 112 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:50.960 free community college. Santiago's bill extends the program another two years. Community colleges 113 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.320 across the state offer limited bachelor's degree programs. Blake Trolley, k if I 114 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.720 News. Well, the weekend is upon us. What to do? What 115 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.279 to do? Well, that's where we call in the services of Nick Poliochini, 116 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.840 host of This Weekend with Nick podcast. Morning Nick, Good morning Amy, 117 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.120 Good to see you or hear you, good to see you too. 118 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.480 Okay, So this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna do this every 119 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.600 week now because there's so much to do around La and you always know some 120 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.240 of the really fun things to do. So we're going to take Nick's top 121 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.120 picks for the weekend. What you got for us? So top three are 122 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.679 going to be one in La County, one Orange County, and one in 123 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.559 the Inland Empire starting count Ada for all weekend, cover the whole South Land. 124 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.639 The Firecracker Festival will be going down in Chinatown this weekend in La County, 125 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.320 celebrating the wrap up of Lunar New Year. That's both on Saturday and 126 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.879 Sunday, and there's also kind of a focus on health and that's always been 127 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.879 the case in Chinatown for the special event. The event happens for you both 128 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.679 on Saturday and Sunday, and it has a five k and ten k run, 129 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.679 also a twenty and fifty mile bike ride. There's a kitty fun run 130 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.320 and you can even get your pups in on it because they have a paw 131 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.960 or dog walk that happens through Chinatown, so you can get details about that. 132 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.600 This weekend with Nick dot Com over to Orange County and I'll actually be 133 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.879 hanging out with Darcy Staniforth, who is our own Dean Sharp, the House 134 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:18.480 Whisper's sister. She's hosting a special ghost tour at the Kellogg House at the 135 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.519 Heritage Museum in Orange County in Santa Ana. So that's taking place actually tonight. 136 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.399 There's a special edition of it that will be happening next week for Leap 137 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.440 Day for Leapier this year, and then there's many other weekends that are coming 138 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.200 up where you can check out some really impressive history about Orange County and the 139 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.080 Kellogg family, who have a beautiful facility in Santa Anna that's kind of a 140 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.720 heritage piece. And then the last thing I got for you is in Herpa 141 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.559 Valley for the Inland Empire. And this is kind of wild to me because 142 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.879 Dickens doesn't necessarily say February, but that was Carles Dickens, correct, exactly. 143 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.039 So the Dickens Fest is their thirty first annual happening in Riverside County, 144 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.159 happens every year. It'll be both Saturday and Sunday, and it's happening at 145 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.919 the Jensen Alvarado Historic Ranch and Museum. Again that's in Horupa Valley. What 146 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:09.399 do you do at the Dickens They have all those people, so think about 147 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.039 like Christmas. If you ever see like the Carollers that are all decked out 148 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.120 in their finery, it's the same thing, but they're leaning more into like 149 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:20.679 Oliver Twist and all the other different Charles Dickens books and really having characters from 150 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.399 them that you're able to interact with also learn history of the time and era 151 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.600 of Charles Dickens in Europe. So it's really kind of a fun thing. 152 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.240 But you wouldn't think about heading to the Inland Empire for something like that, 153 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.639 so you know, it's kind of a fun different way. And with it 154 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.960 being a little bit chilly this weekend and maybe even a little bit of drizzle 155 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.679 coming back in on Sunday, it will be, you know, a good 156 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.279 opportunity for you to kind of embrace the days gone by. Okay, and 157 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.000 you mentioned the five and ten k run at the Firecracker Festival. So I'm 158 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.279 going to take this time to tell you guys that Nick and I are doing 159 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.519 something that we've never done before. Indeed. Yeah, so you know that 160 00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:01.879 we're both big Disney fans, and so Nick, he was texting me a 161 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.759 couple of weeks ago and he's like, Hey, want to do the fun 162 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:09.679 Run with for Disney because the Disney has like these themed runs and they're doing 163 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:15.320 one for Halloween time or ahead of Halloween time. So Nick and I both 164 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.559 time starts out in August this year, so yeah, oh yeah, Okay, 165 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.559 for Disney, it's not yeah, so for the rest of the world 166 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.240 is yeah, So in September, I think it's on the seventh, Nick 167 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.320 and I are both doing a ten k and neither one of us run, 168 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.159 No, but would need to look really cute in our costumes. Yeah. 169 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.200 And here's what, because it's not a timed event, and here's how we've 170 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.559 justified doing it. It's that when we go to the park. If you 171 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.320 go to Disneyland and you keep track of it on your watch or you have 172 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.000 a fitbit, you walk six, seven, eight, miles in a day, 173 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.960 so we're just going to compress that and walk the six point two miles 174 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.200 in a couple hours. Yeah, and it'll be fun, I know how 175 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.960 Disney characters along for the ride with us and being able to enjoy the you 176 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.159 know, kind of opening weekend of Halloween time at the Disneyland resort. So 177 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:03.279 that'll be a great opportunity and it gives us something to look forward to and 178 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.440 work on to improve our health as well through two twenty four to get to 179 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:11.559 that. So we should probably start training now because again I don't run period, 180 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.440 right, I mean unless I'm like running across the street, so I 181 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.080 don't get hit by a truck or something. But that's it, okay. 182 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.399 So those are Nick's top picks for the weekend. And if you want to 183 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.840 check out other really cool fun stuff to do because there is so much going 184 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:26.919 on around southern California. Where do we find you, Nick? You can 185 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.440 find me on Instagram, Nick pollio'keeini on This Weekend with Nick and also you 186 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.159 can visit This Weekend with Nick dot com. Thank you Nick. When we 187 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.440 come back, we're going somewhere we haven't been for more than fifty years with 188 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:43.200 ABC's Jim Ryan. You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI AM 189 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.559 six forty. President Biden has just announced more than five hundred new sanctions on 190 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:54.320 Russia over its war with Ukraine or actually in Ukraine, and the death of 191 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.200 Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalni. He died in prison last week. The US 192 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:05.519 also using some export restrictions on about one hundred entities that support Russia's military efforts. 193 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:09.840 LAPD is looking for the one that got away. The driver of a 194 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.480 blue Corvette led police on a high speed chase. It speeds up to one 195 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.879 hundred seventy miles per hour for about a half hour. Last night. LAPD 196 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.639 lost the car in downtown LA. The first US lunar lander has touched down 197 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:30.840 on the Moon since nineteen seventy two. Intuitive machines guided its Odysseus lander onto 198 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:35.480 a surface yesterday and it's now transmitting data. The lander's mission is to collect 199 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.559 data needed by NASA for about the next month or so. At six ZHO 200 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.399 five, it's handle on the news. He's going to be telling you about 201 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.360 what caused that big outage. Was it a technical glitch or something more sinister? 202 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.679 Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, 203 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.679 Jim, another step for man. Well, actually it's for a lunar lander, 204 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.440 well for not a person but a machine. And yes, it did 205 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.320 touchdown yesterday. We assume there was a long delay between the moment that we 206 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:11.559 assumed that the lander touchdown on the lunar surface and some kind of confirmation coming 207 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.399 from Intuitive Machines, the company that is behind this whole project right now. 208 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.399 The company said that it was receiving a week's signal later on, and that 209 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.120 was confirmation enough that the thing had actually settled onto the surface. But there 210 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:26.919 was kind of touch and go there for a while. I mean, in 211 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.960 fact, they had to do an extra loop around the Moon to solve a 212 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:37.000 technical glitch related to a navigation system. They weren't sure that they could find 213 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.320 an appropriate spot for the thing to land. It's all being done autonomously. 214 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.480 It's not like back in the days when you had a couple of guys sitting 215 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.200 in this lunar lander, you know, physically guiding the thing to a soft 216 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:54.000 touchdown. The machine does it by itself and we wait then for confirmation messages 217 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.799 from the machine that the job was done. Well, they got it done. 218 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:00.639 So what's this going to what's it going to do for the next week 219 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:06.279 or so. Well, it's going to send back data. That's the big 220 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.279 thing here about what it's discovering there on the Moon. A big part of 221 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:15.120 this project is a NASA experiment. They're trying to find any evidence that there's 222 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.639 water somewhere on the Moon or some kind of water source, right, frozen 223 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:23.200 water, or that some evidence that water was there. Because the Artemis project 224 00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:26.679 that NASA has on the books is going to send people to the Moon at 225 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.360 some point in the next few years, probably before the end of the decade, 226 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.360 I mean, and then on tomorrow's Well, if we have water already 227 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.120 on the Moon, that means that we don't have to take water with us 228 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.440 to sustain the astronauts. Also, what's water, it's hydrogen, it's oxygen, 229 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:47.320 oxygen. You can use those elements to create fuel jet fuel. So 230 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.320 we'll be making our own jet fuel on the Moon and then using that to 231 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:56.279 launch off to Mars and beyond, plus sustaining the lives of our astronauts sitting 232 00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:00.720 there on the Moon. And I would think that that it would be kind 233 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.160 of imperative that they had water because water weighs a whole lot and we have 234 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:10.599 learned from our yours in my conversations and talking to Neil deGrasse Tyson, like 235 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.079 every ounce counts when you're trying to get something off of Earth and into space. 236 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.880 Sure, I mean, that's why this lunar lander was only about twelve 237 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:21.920 feet tall something like that. It's a it's a fairly it's about the size 238 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:26.680 of a phone booth. And you're right, every inch of it is packed 239 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.680 with stuff because it's expensive to do that, and you know, so they 240 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.440 try to put in as much as they can and make it as light weight 241 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.759 as possible. But you're right. Water weighs I think eight pounds a gallon, 242 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.599 and that's that's and to try to sustain people who need about a gallon 243 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.119 a day, it's almost impossible to take that much with you. So this 244 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.279 certainly makes it more convenient, maybe even feasible to do. He doesn't, 245 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.839 doesn't Japan or somebody have another lot lander on the moon. Well, they 246 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.519 remember that last month Japan launched one and put it down on the Moon, 247 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.440 but it was upside down, so it was a cent worthless. Then the 248 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:06.799 Peregrine lander that was supposed to land the US project last month, you know, 249 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:08.720 it to malfunction then never made it to the moon. It came oh, 250 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:14.119 that's right, down right, because it had problems like two hours in 251 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:15.200 and they went, yeah, we're not making it to the moon this month. 252 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.319 All right, Is there anybody else there? That's it for now? 253 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:26.799 No? Nobody else. India has projects going in direction too, but you 254 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:29.839 know, the the US Project right now is the one active, one up 255 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.440 and running. Okay, And then let's search gears and talk to something that 256 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.359 affected us down here on Earth. And that was AT and T had an 257 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.880 outage about seventy thousand plus people affected across the US. Yeah, yeah, 258 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.119 and that's enough to raise concerns that it was some kind of cyber attack or 259 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:49.160 some kind of hacking from the outside. Well at least Cord and T and 260 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.279 T. The AT and T is based here in Dallas, and they were 261 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.720 putting out notes yesterday about this this widespread outage, you know, And their 262 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:02.000 final determination was that it was a software problem, in the same way Amy 263 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.319 that you sometimes go to bed and your phone says I needed a software updates, 264 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:07.880 So just plug me in, leave me alone. You'll get up in 265 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.960 the morning, you'll have the new iOS installed. Great, well, that's 266 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.920 what AT and T was trying to do across its whole system. It does 267 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.799 that occasionally. It's a normal kind of thing. But if there is an 268 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.920 issue and there was yesterday with either the software or with the person in charge 269 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.759 of the software, or combination of the two, there is a glitch and 270 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.799 people weren't able to use their cell service. They could get onto Wi Fi. 271 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:34.359 But even as early as five o'clock yesterday morning Eastern time, the US 272 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:41.279 Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency CISA was reporting that it had no indication that this 273 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.119 was a hack attack, that it was some kind of glitch that was causing 274 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.799 this internally at AT and T. But still, I mean, the what 275 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.440 ifs are huge, and I'm sure HANDLE will be taking a look at that 276 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.680 today. Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. And then the other 277 00:19:55.720 --> 00:20:00.480 thing I think that we need to keep in mind is to keep things in 278 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.839 perspective. It was seventy five thousand phones affected across the whole US, and 279 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:11.200 AT and T has two hundred and forty million customers. Yes, what's more 280 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.640 those there was an outage in AT and T. I think it was AT 281 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.680 and T in Arkansas earlier in the week and two hundred thousand people were affected 282 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.440 there and we never heard right there. Yeah, it was because it was 283 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.839 Arkansas, because it was isolated, probably both of those things. And again 284 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:29.720 it was kind of a software issue too. But you know, this was 285 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:33.319 You're right, it was widespread, It involved a lot of people in the 286 00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.440 scope of things. It didn't catch in the end. Okay, so technical 287 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.960 trouble, but the FBI and Homeland Security said we're going to be watching just 288 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:47.440 in case. Sure, yeah, they're watching it. But at this point, 289 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:51.279 the indication is that it was There was nothing sinister about this, but 290 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:55.559 you know, people need to be on guard. I think, is it 291 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:57.799 time to order another landline for your house when I don't know if they could 292 00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:00.920 even install on anymore. Well, here's the thing in California. It's not 293 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.839 happening in Houston, I don't think, or in Texas where you are. 294 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:11.960 But they're trying to get out of requiring landlines be provided like AT and T 295 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.079 doesn't want to provide landlines anymore. So that's going to be probably a fight 296 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.200 after this. Yeah, well, I think you're right, because I mean 297 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.319 they were telling San Francisco I think was telling people, you know, the 298 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.599 Emergency Opposition Center there saying, look, if you can't get a nine to 299 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.240 one one call to us, find a landline. If you can't get through 300 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:30.640 to us on your cell phone, we're on Earth. Are you going to 301 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.599 find a landline? I don't know. I don't even have one at my 302 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.000 house. All right, Jim Ryan, thank you so much for your time 303 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.240 and information. Talk to you soon. Let's get back to some of the 304 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.160 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man on a 305 00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:47.640 metro bus who was pepper sprayed by another passenger during an argument in LA's Mid 306 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.519 City area has died. Police were called to Western and Olympic last night about 307 00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:55.000 an assault. They were told two men had been involved in an argument and 308 00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:59.319 the guy with the pepper spray took off. No description of the van was 309 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:04.839 provided. A registered sex offender accused of indecent exposure at WII Spa in Koreatown 310 00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:08.920 maybe facing a trial. The trans woman allegedly went into the women's side of 311 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.160 the spa, exposing her erect penis to other women, including a minor. 312 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.880 This woman, who goes by the Instagram named Kubana Angel, posted a video 313 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.880 from twenty twenty one of her confronting spa staff who refused to kick the woman 314 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:23.000 out, and you got a man with his penis count back. He's a 315 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.279 woman. He ain't no woman. Yeah, give her her money back. 316 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.680 The trans woman has been a registered sex offender since two thousand and six and 317 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.640 was in court yesterday for a jury trial hearing. She's also facing five separate 318 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:40.279 felonies for indecent exposure at a swimming center in twenty eighteen, Chris Sadler Ka 319 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.160 FI News, a federal grand jury is indicted a man accused of attacking another 320 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:48.599 passenger on a flight from Seattle to Las Vegas. The FBI says Julio Lopez 321 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.400 was acting fidgety last month before he punched a guy sitting across from him and 322 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.279 stabbed the man with pens. Lopez reportedly told agents he had never seen the 323 00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.920 guy before but planned to kill him. He also claimed he thought the mafia 324 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.200 was chasing him. Lopez was restrained during the flight and arrested once it landed. 325 00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:07.279 When we come back, if you're trying to keep up with the Joneses, 326 00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.559 Dean Sharp has the hottest housing trends for twenty twenty four that's next. 327 00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:18.119 You're listening to wake Up Call on demand from KFI AM six forty. AT 328 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.200 and T says a cell phone outage that affected more than seventy thousand phones across 329 00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.279 the US is done with. AT and T says it was a technical issue, 330 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:29.839 but the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI say they're looking into the 331 00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.839 outage to make sure it wasn't part of a cyber attack. The US has 332 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:41.400 announced more than five hundred new sanctions on Russia. It's a move to punish 333 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:47.200 Moscow's war machine and those being held responsible for the death of opposition leader Alexey 334 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:52.559 Navalny. A. Massive landslides expected to keep Highway one fifty just north of 335 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.720 Santa Paula closed for several weeks. Cal Tran says the mud has to dry 336 00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.640 out before crews can even start clearing it. Trying to get between OHI and 337 00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.480 Santa Paula being advised to use Highways thirty three, one oh one or one 338 00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:10.480 twenty six instead. At six oh five, it's handle on the news that 339 00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:15.960 crime spree around La County that left a total of six people dead. A 340 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.160 seventeen year old has been arrested in connection with that at five point fifty we're 341 00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:23.480 gonna be talking with ABC's Jason Nathanson. We'll be going to the desert and 342 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.079 out of this world. Right now, let's say good morning too the house 343 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:32.640 Whisper and the host of Home on KFI. It's Dean Sharp. So Dean 344 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.440 trends aren't only in fashion, they're also in housing. So let's talk about 345 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.680 what's hot and what's not this year. Well, I love, you know, 346 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.519 late February, right before I head off to the International Builders Show, 347 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:51.880 kind of looking back at the early January articles that come out, Like every 348 00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:56.839 magazine, even you know, US World US News and World Report likes to 349 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:03.079 release these articles about like what's going to be the building trend for twenty twenty 350 00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:07.200 four, And I love looking back thinking, yeah, maybe hit or miss. 351 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.759 This actually is an article based on an article from a US News and 352 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.440 World Report that I was looking at and they've got a few here, and 353 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.200 I thought it would be interesting to kind of take a look at it. 354 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:25.880 The first one is absolutely one that is here and growing, and it's a 355 00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:36.119 growing biophilic design. Ye like that word biophilic. Biophilia. Biophilia is the 356 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:38.519 is the love of nature. It's not just that though, it's actually a 357 00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:45.400 theory about human beings and our need to interact with nature. And so in 358 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:51.000 the last I'm going to say fifteen years or so, biophilic design is a 359 00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:56.720 whole category of architectural design now in which we are very intentionally focused on the 360 00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:02.279 idea of bringing out doors, in bringing indoors out and just kind of sort 361 00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:07.519 of thinning the veil between the structures that we live in and the natural world 362 00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:10.400 around us, not so that we get cold or too hot, but so 363 00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:14.839 that we're really not isolating ourselves from nature. And as a trend, I 364 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:18.720 would say it's way more than a trend. It is caught on, and 365 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:23.240 it is simply the new standard that most really good designers are working towards, 366 00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:27.359 and that we've honestly been encouraging our clients to work towards for a long time. 367 00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:33.599 More windows, more open doors, more concentrating on vistas, more plant 368 00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.319 material inside your house. Just it's all good things there. You know, 369 00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.400 I am a nature boy, and there has always been this tendency of mind 370 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:48.440 to want to kind of diffuse the middle ground between being inside and outside with 371 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.160 your house. Yeah, And in the article that you shared with us that 372 00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:59.799 highlights the biophilic design. There's a really cool picture and I'm like, i'd 373 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.960 all those plants immediately. But it's like green plants cascading over like a planter 374 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:07.880 box that's above the tub in the bathroom, and it just looks so cool, 375 00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:14.200 doesn't it look cool? And those happen to be air ferns, and 376 00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:18.680 so they literally and here's the thing, you wouldn't kill them because if they 377 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.920 have enough light and they're getting enough light in that particular room, those plants 378 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:30.480 there actually just thrive and grow on the moisture of a high humid environment. 379 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.480 So I guess the fact that it's the bathroom. Yeah, they're gonna do 380 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:38.039 great. They're literally just gonna eat it all up. And they do great 381 00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:41.720 and you barely have to give them any attention. So yeah, they're all 382 00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:45.559 sorts of these new things. So biophilic design, that's a thing. Okay, 383 00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:49.839 sure, cool. I just have a friend who just redid their whole 384 00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:55.440 first floor and it's all in gray towns. Yeah yeah, and you know 385 00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:59.000 what that's problematic? Now? Well no, and see, this is the 386 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:03.319 thing that I really hate about these articles and the way that the design industry 387 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:08.200 presents itself, as if, as if we can change directions as quickly as 388 00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:11.200 fashion. You know, it's not just like you know, what plaids are 389 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.880 out people this year. That's not going to be. It's not the case. 390 00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:19.160 Goodbye grays. That's what the article is saying. Nobody's doing grays anymore. 391 00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:26.480 That's not true. We've always done grays. Grays have really replaced earth 392 00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:29.559 tones for a good while. So there was a trend, for sure. 393 00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:33.079 There was a fad even let's go so far, and I use the word 394 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:40.559 fad as you know, an extreme overreaction to like earth tones and things like 395 00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:45.440 that. The fad part of gray is over. But gray is here to 396 00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:49.680 stay. It really is, because it's such a useful tone in a home. 397 00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:55.279 So everybody who just remodeled their place and said, I really like gray, 398 00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:57.480 why does this article say my house is now out of date. We 399 00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.920 just finished three months ago. You don't have to worry. You don't have 400 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:04.880 to worry. So it's just an overreaction. But yeah, the fad of 401 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:10.440 everything must be gray. We're well past that now. But that doesn't mean 402 00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:14.079 that gray isn't the right color for your place. That's something that you love, 403 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:15.079 you know, because I didn't want to break the news to her that 404 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:19.640 she was outdated. Yeah, yeah, that's just a thing. Okay, 405 00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:23.119 what is a fad? Y g louted cabinets? What's that louted cabinets is 406 00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:29.839 well, this is a cabinet door that has these kind of vertical columns on 407 00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.759 it. Okay, that is, without question a fad. So don't feel 408 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:38.400 like you got to go out and get yourself fluted cabinet doors because if you 409 00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:44.079 don't like it, let it be. Don't touch it, because next year, 410 00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.759 I guarantee you we're going to see an article saying, yeah, fluted 411 00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:51.279 cabinets are done. That's over. So you know, that's the kind of 412 00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:53.079 stuff. We just don't want to overreact to some of these predictions. Okay, 413 00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:59.359 what about the one about making room for the in laws? Absolutely, 414 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:04.480 there is no question. You know, ADUs, the accessory dwelling units you 415 00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:08.400 call them what you will, casitas, guest rooms, mother in law suites, 416 00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:15.160 that extra space in the house, especially in the state of California, 417 00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:19.039 because now ADUs are so easy to add to your home. Is this an 418 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:23.720 extra structure or is it you're adding have to be? You can be, 419 00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:27.720 You can add on to the house Okay, you can convert your garage into 420 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:32.880 an adu. Now, in other words, most cities before this said, 421 00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:36.319 listen, no, you can't take the garage because you are required to have 422 00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:37.960 parking. But the state of California said no, no, you can park 423 00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:41.119 outside. So you can use the garage. You can add on to the 424 00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:45.359 house, or you can build a separate structure somewhere on your property if you 425 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:49.279 have room for that. The point is housing in California. The codes have 426 00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:53.839 changed and they're super encouraging this, and it's just I think, I think 427 00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:59.079 it is the trend of our culture. We've got aging parents to take care 428 00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.720 of that we don't want to put and homes. We've got boomeranging children coming 429 00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:07.400 back from college who are waiting for their one big job opening to come about. 430 00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:14.359 All of these things are pointing us towards the idea of having extra communal 431 00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:18.000 space for extended family and friends. Okay, and just real quick, because 432 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.519 we've got about twenty seconds left. But bringing inside outside is a thing, 433 00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:26.640 or bringing outside inside, Oh, for sure, it is a huge thing. 434 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:29.759 It's a huge thing. Nobody you and I kind of talked about it 435 00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:36.279 last week about Wayfarer's chapel right, I mean a perfect example of bringing outside 436 00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:38.920 in a chapel made of glass, a very very small space, but you 437 00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:42.200 can see right through it to the outside. That's why people love that place. 438 00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:47.359 Okay. So like small screened in patios, small backyard patios, front 439 00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:51.839 porches, those things are all trending right now, all in Okay. Dean 440 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:56.200 Sharp the host of home right here on KFI from six to eight am on 441 00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:00.599 Saturday and nine to noon on Sunday, and can't wait to hear once you 442 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:06.559 check in after the International Builders Show. Yeah, we'll have lots of fun 443 00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:08.400 to talk about. Thanks Amy, Thankstein. Let's get back to some of 444 00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:12.400 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four our news room of State Assembly 445 00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.839 bill being introduced would make it easier to remove potential jurors with a bias against 446 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.640 police if it were to become law. The legislation would overturn Governor Newsom's twenty 447 00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.079 twenty policy, which says jurors could not be the subject of peremptory challenge on 448 00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:28.119 the basis of their negative views of police. Riverside. Republican Bill as Sale 449 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.000 says his bill would allow attorneys to ask for the dismissal of a potential juror 450 00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:35.960 if it was determined that person was anti cop law experts have said the bill 451 00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.519 would hit a lot of hurdles, especially because of the strong support for criminal 452 00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:44.759 justice reform in the state legislature. Steve Gregory Kafi News Lawyers for former President 453 00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:49.359 Trump had filed multiple motions in Florida asking a judge to dismiss the criminal case 454 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:53.839 that charges Trump with illegally retaining classified documents. The motion includes a claim that 455 00:32:54.200 --> 00:33:00.279 presidential immunity protects Trump from prosecution. The Supreme Court has heard arguments on the 456 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:05.359 immunity claim. Trump is facing dozens of felony accounts in federal court in Florida. 457 00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.759 You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI Am six forty. 458 00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:13.400 Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

President Biden has announced more than five hundred new sanctions 464 00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:39.319 on Russia, the aim to punish Moscow's war machine and those being held responsible 465 00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:44.839 for the death of opposition leader Alexey Navalny. A Girl Scout troop in Sacramento 466 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:50.599 has made radio contact with the International Space Station. Love this story. The 467 00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:55.519 troop spent months making a ham radio and then yesterday made contact with astronaut Jasmine 468 00:33:55.599 --> 00:34:00.400 Mogbelli on the space station. They talked for about ten minutes about NASA, 469 00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:04.160 her mission, experiments she's working on, and even how she spends her free 470 00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:07.400 time. The girls then got special merit badges, well deserved. We're just 471 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:09.800 minutes away from a handle on the news this morning. The three to one 472 00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:14.159 oh and the three two three are getting some company. LA's getting a new 473 00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:19.239 area code right now. Let's say good morning to ABC's entertainment guru. Are 474 00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:23.239 Jason Nathanson? Jason, how are you a new area code? Yeah? 475 00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:29.960 I'm still not about the Like, what four to two four is that one 476 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:31.719 of them? Do we have four two four here? I've never dialed a 477 00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:36.800 four two four. There's there's there's some others. My brother's mad about being 478 00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:39.119 a three one. Oh, why that's that's always been the best one. 479 00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:42.519 I don't that's the one you want. When I grew up, there was 480 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:44.880 eight one eight, there's three two three, and there's three one oh, 481 00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:47.679 and that was it. No need all these others. Okay, Well, 482 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:52.519 so, uh, Jason, we've got not much going on but a couple 483 00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:57.920 movies coming out. Yeah, it's it's slow. It continues to be a 484 00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:00.719 slow year at the box office. Is this normal, although for this time 485 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:02.880 of year it isn't. It isn't. Usually by now there's at least something 486 00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:07.079 that's broken through, and we really haven't had that. And we've had some 487 00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:12.679 really bad movies a few weeks, so that'll change. Next week we're gonna 488 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:16.239 have Dune two, which was delayed from last November because of the strikes, 489 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:21.360 So that's going to kind of break things open, and people are excited and 490 00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:24.440 waiting for that, and I'll have my review of that next week. I 491 00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:28.559 did see it this week, and I can tell you that it is very 492 00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.400 good. Okay, So that's exciting at least. And that's not untill next 493 00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:36.639 weekend, though, correct, So we have one more week in theaters right 494 00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:38.639 now. One movie that's actually getting a lot of really good reviews which I 495 00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:44.519 haven't seen, is Ordinary Angels. This is Hillary Swank who stars in this 496 00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.719 kind of faith based drama. It's based on a true story from the nineties. 497 00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.559 She plays a woman, a struggling hair hairdresser in a small town who 498 00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:59.679 discovers she's been kind of looking for her purpose. There are some alcohol problems 499 00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:04.599 and things like that. Yeah, and she meets a guy and who has 500 00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:08.519 two daughters, the youngest daughters waiting for a liver transplant, and she kind 501 00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:13.000 of discovers, oh, maybe my purpose is to help to help these people, 502 00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.239 and then it kind of turns into what the community did and faith and 503 00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:22.239 miracles and everyday Ordinary Angels. It's eighty percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, 504 00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:27.119 one hundred percent from people who saw it early, which I guess is 505 00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:30.199 the last night's screenings. So that is if you're, you know, looking 506 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:36.719 for something like that, the kind of heartwarming, inspiring story that's getting really 507 00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:42.400 good reviews out there this weekend, So that's one possibility. Another that that 508 00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:45.440 is in theaters this weekend is Driveaway Dolls, which has a lot of good 509 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:50.880 people involved Ethan Cohen from the Coen Brothers. He co wrote this, he 510 00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:55.800 directs it. You have Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Vishnawathon starring as two women on 511 00:36:55.840 --> 00:37:01.239 a kind of comedy caper road trip action. This is an R rated film. 512 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:06.119 Is it a modern day Selma and Louise? Yeah, I mean not 513 00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:08.599 exactly, but you know there's there's some of that in there. You got 514 00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:12.760 Beanie Feldstein, you got Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal. So you got a 515 00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:19.400 really great cast in there. Not getting overwhelmingly great reviews, but it's getting 516 00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:22.920 decent reviews, okay. And then if we're gonna hunker down, sit on 517 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:27.320 the couch and want to stream something, yeah, well, I mean I 518 00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.880 can tell you what's out, I cannot tell you not necessarily. That doesn't 519 00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:34.880 mean it's good. So you have and that's okay. We need your advice 520 00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:39.039 anyway. Your girl scouts there who contacted the Space station might be interested in 521 00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:45.119 Constellation, which is about a astronaut played by new Mira Pace who goes she 522 00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:50.840 survives a disaster in space. She's on the ISS and some things go wrong 523 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:53.760 and she returns to Earth to discover that key pieces of her life seem to 524 00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:58.719 be missed. This is it seemed to be what missing missing? Yeah, 525 00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:04.360 okay, it's dark. There's a lot of questions and mysteries going on here. 526 00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.920 It was a little too dark and a little too weird for my taste. 527 00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:10.320 Okay. Jonathan Banks from Breaking Bad and Better Call So also co stars, 528 00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:15.039 and you've got a bunch of other people as well. Not really for 529 00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:21.599 me these days, just really not into the dark weird stuff. But you 530 00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:24.239 know, maybe there might be an audience. There's three episodes out now on 531 00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:27.880 Apple TV plus. There's an eight total. It's one of those ones where 532 00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:30.239 you're wondering, am I gonna get answers by the end of this or am 533 00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:32.960 I going to be left wondering with a lot of questions? Okay? All 534 00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:37.760 right? And then the Sag Awards are being awarded tomorrow night. Yes, 535 00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:40.440 do they carry any real weight for the big one? The answer, Oh 536 00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:44.679 yeah, no, absolutely. The Guild Awards are the ones that are the 537 00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.880 most when it comes to the Oscars. They're the most predictive in terms of 538 00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:52.559 who's going to get what. Because the Saga Awards actually has the biggest they 539 00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:57.960 share the biggest voting body with the Oscars. Because it's the Screen Actors Guild. 540 00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:04.880 I think there's there's more actors in the in the Academy Acting branch than 541 00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:09.760 any other branch. So whoever wins at the Acting awards at the Screen Actors 542 00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:14.320 Guild Awards usually ends up going on to win the Oscars. Okay, do 543 00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:16.079 you have any predictions you want to watch that? You want to watch the 544 00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:20.280 Producer's Guild Awards, right, you want to watch the Writers Guild Awards, 545 00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:23.599 to watch those if you're filling out your poll and things like that. On 546 00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:27.679 the movie side, Oppenheimer is, you know, probably going to do pretty 547 00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:31.159 well. Do you think it'll get Best Cast? They don't have a best 548 00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:36.440 movie category they have a best cast they don't and that that's the only category 549 00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:39.960 that does not translate to Oscar success because that is different than the Best Picture 550 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:45.239 Oscar thing. So I think it's possible. I think I think it could 551 00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:49.360 do very well. It's interesting to see it'll be on Netflix. Yes, 552 00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.880 on Netflix, so live streaming award show on Netflix, the first time that 553 00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:57.360 they've ever done that, So you know, that's that's something new. But 554 00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:01.639 most usually most people don't pay ten into the Sagwarts. They don't watch Oh 555 00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:06.760 well, I'm going to be watching. Well you were not most people. 556 00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:12.079 Oh well, there you have it. That is true. Okay, Well, 557 00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:14.960 and with that, let's just end our little conversation. Jason. All 558 00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:16.480 right, thank you so much, Jason, have a great weekend. All 559 00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:19.760 right, talk to you soon. But let's get back to some of the 560 00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.840 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. I will be watching. 561 00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:24.880 By the way, The La Metro Board of Directors has moved forward with 562 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:30.000 a proposed gondola project to Dodger Stadium. Supporters of the proposed gondola connecting Union 563 00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:34.320 Station at Dodger Stadium say it would take some cars off the street and attract 564 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.519 development to the area. Metro's board yesterday accepted the three hundred million dollar private 565 00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:43.800 project's environmental impact report with conditions. Chinatown resident Phyllis Ling says she's not happy 566 00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:46.760 an over priced steam park ride that rips into our beloved park in our neighborhood. 567 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:51.159 Don Luis Camacho says the project would be good for his family's restaurant, 568 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:54.159 and we think it would help draw new guests to Albera Street. The board's 569 00:40:54.159 --> 00:41:00.559 conditions include job development and beautification initiatives. Michael Monks KFI News. Health Ministry 570 00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:04.000 in Gaza says more than one hundred Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes in 571 00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:07.320 the past twenty four hours. Hamas says its top political leader has held talks 572 00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:12.840 with Egyptian officials about a possible cease fire and an exchange of hostages. About 573 00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:16.840 two hundred and fifty people were taken when Hamas attacked Israel in October. About 574 00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:22.519 one hundred are still thought to be alive. The US has imposed more than 575 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.719 five hundred new sanctions on Russia. ABC's Karen Travers says President Biden calls them 576 00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:30.679 punishment for Russia's war against Ukraine and the death of Putin critic Alexey Navalney. 577 00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:36.840 The President says in a statement the sanctions will target individuals connected to Navalney's imprisonment, 578 00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:40.320 as well as Russia's financial sector, defense industrial base, and sanctions of 579 00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:45.519 vaders across multiple continents. The US is imposing export restrictions on nearly one hundred 580 00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:52.000 entities that support Russia's military efforts and target energy revenues. Biden says the sanctions 581 00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:58.280 will ensure Putin pays an even steeper price for his aggression abroad and repression at 582 00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:01.679 home. And a magician from New Orleans says a Democratic consultant paid him one 583 00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:07.199 hundred and fifty dollars to use AI to impersonate President Biden in a robo call. 584 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:12.119 That call last month told voters in New Hampshire not to vote in the 585 00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:15.920 state's presidential primary and just save it for November. We leave your help and 586 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:21.679 electing Democrats up and down the ticket. Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans 587 00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:27.159 in their quest to elect Donald Trump again. Paul Carpenter says he was hired 588 00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:31.480 by a consultant who worked on ballot access for Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips. 589 00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:36.559 Carpenter says he didn't know how the recording was going to be distributed and that 590 00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:39.599 he regrets that he was involved.
