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 --> 00:00:12.599
demand on the iHeartRadio app, Wednesday, February twenty First, I'm Amy King.

3
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:18.519
On this wet and soggy day driving
in today. I will tell you

4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.280
yesterday we talked about this not so
bad. Today is another story. So

5
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:28.480
if you're on the roads this morning, wow, be careful because driving in

6
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:34.600
today, just along the five,
there was lots of standing water. And

7
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.119
it might be because there haven't been
that many people on the road yet,

8
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:42.000
but lots of standing water. And
I felt a lot of little potholes too,

9
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.000
I'm worried about. They were small, thank goodness, but they were

10
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.359
new ones because I was driving yesterday
and didn't feel it. But it was

11
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.679
bump bump, bump, bump bump. And then Tony, you were driving

12
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.880
in on the two ten and you
were white knuckling it. Huh oh on

13
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.799
the fight on the fire Oh you
were on the fhe I'm just yeah,

14
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.119
it was just just airtime you hit
that, you hear that noise, you

15
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:00.960
know, right, would you know? When? Well, I'm just in

16
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.840
water right now. Yeah, there's
no traction there. So yeah, I

17
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:10.120
was going about forty five miles an
hour and not a lot of people passing

18
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.799
me, but a couple. So
just be extra careful. I know that

19
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.480
the band that came through earlier,
I don't know if it's going to continue,

20
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.359
although we are supposed to still have
some heavy rain. Man, it

21
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.719
felt like somebody just opened the water
spicket and it was just dumping down.

22
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.719
It was crazy, and then it
would stop and it was I was like,

23
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.159
oh, it sounds like somebody turned
the water off. I mean yeah,

24
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.040
So anyway, we got more.
We got some rain continuing for a

25
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.000
little while, but it's supposed to
clear out my lighter today and then guess

26
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.400
what, we're going to see some
sunshine. So there was another debate debate

27
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.480
last night, the US Senate debate
for the seat that was held by Diane

28
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:52.040
Feinstein for years and years and years. It was the final debate before the

29
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.000
March fifth election. And Uh,
as I've told you before, I'm kind

30
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.439
of obsessed with these things. I'm
really interested to watch them. I like

31
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.280
to see what the candidates think,
if you can, if they can get

32
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:07.159
their thoughts out. This one was
not to me any more exciting than the

33
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.719
other two. I still think that
Steve Garvey, he's the Republican in the

34
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.520
race, and then the Democrats are
Adam Schiff and Katie Porter and Barbara Lee.

35
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.840
I think that Steve Garvey kind of
comes across as the grown up in

36
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.319
the room. He's calm and he's
thoughtful, but then he also comes across

37
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.919
as like, dude, spit your
thoughts out, because he's obviously not a

38
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.840
professional debater, and I think he
takes a little time like I'm doing right

39
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.159
now, takes too much time to
spit his thoughts out. Adam Shift was

40
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.360
pretty calm until he brings up Donald
Trump's name, and then he just loses

41
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.719
it. It's almost comical to watch
he just loses his mind when he starts

42
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.520
talking about Donald Trump. And I
will say the one thing I will say

43
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.919
is I think that the moderators did
a pretty good job of keeping control of

44
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.360
the debate. But when they say
talk about climate change, you have thirty

45
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.319
seconds. That's not enough, which
again is why I think I think they

46
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:01.639
need to come up with a new
way to debate, because I want to

47
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.199
hear more in depth about what they
have to say. Again, thirty seconds

48
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.520
to cure or to fix climate change
just doesn't cut it. Here's what's ahead

49
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.400
on wake up call. The storm
moving through southern California has dumped four inches

50
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.080
of rain on Los Angeles. That's
the most we've seen in one day in

51
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.280
twenty years. The heavy rain should
tape her off later today, but snow

52
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.439
is still expected in the mountains as
the storm moves east. Israeli strikes across

53
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:34.360
Gaza have killed at least sixty seven
Palestinians overnight, including in areas where civilians

54
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.479
were told to seek refuge. Doctors
without Borders says two more people were killed

55
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.439
when a shelter housing staff in the
Gaza Strip was hit. We're going to

56
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.879
be finding out the latest from Gaza
when we talk with ABC's Geordana Miller in

57
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.360
Jerusalem in just a couple of minutes. The Biden administration has announced over a

58
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.960
billion dollars of student loan debt forgiveness. About one hundred and fifty three thousand

59
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.000
borrowers in the Saving on a Valuable
Education or SAVE program who've made at least

60
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.560
ten years of payments are going to
be getting an email from the President today.

61
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:09.400
The Biden administration has now approved lone
really for nearly three point nine million

62
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.560
Americans at six oh five handle on
the news. Residents in Rancho palace Verti

63
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.600
say they need help as the land
underneath them continues to shift. Let's start

64
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.879
with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

65
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:26.399
The storm moving through southern California,
as I mentioned, has dumped four inches

66
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.639
of rain in LA in a single
day. That's the most single day rain

67
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.399
total we've seen in over twenty years. NBC meteorologist Angie Lastman says it's almost

68
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.600
over. We're going to eventually,
as the day goes on, see that

69
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.600
rain for southern California, even central
California and taper off. We will still

70
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.360
see some of these scattered showers across
portions of the northwestern United States, but

71
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.600
that system will kick out to the
Rockies and that's where we'll see some additional

72
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.279
snow through the day today. The
flesh flood warning that has been issued in

73
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:58.680
La goes through nine o'clock this morning. Rancho Palasvertes is asking Governor Newsom to

74
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.759
declare a state of emerg urgency because
of worsening land movement. LA County Supervisor

75
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.680
Janis Hans says the land has been
shifting for decades and the city needs its

76
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:12.120
own state of emergency store makes it
worse. We're all on pins and needles

77
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.079
every time we see the rain.
But this is bigger than that, and

78
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.839
what's happening in Ranta Palacaries is bigger
than the city. It's bigger than the

79
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:24.920
county. The request to submit a
letter to Newsom was unanimously approved that last

80
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.319
night's council meeting. The city will
also ask Newsom to request federal aid from

81
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:33.759
President Biden. An LA City firefighter
hurt in a truck explosion in Wilmington is

82
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:38.839
alert and talking. The thirty seven
year old is a nine year veteran of

83
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:43.240
LA Fire and was one of nine
firefighters hurt last week when a truck that

84
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.800
runs on compressed natural gas exploded.
He's the only one still in the hospital.

85
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:51.040
Officials say he was removed from a
ventilator yesterday. He's been moved from

86
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:58.079
the ICU to a regular burn unit. Let's good say say good morning to

87
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.639
Oh. We don't have Nick,
no Nick. So we're going to go

88
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:05.839
right to ABC's Jordana Miller, who
is in Jerusalem. Jordana, we're just

89
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:13.000
getting word that air strikes overnight killed
sixty seven Palestinians in areas where they've been

90
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:18.720
told to seek refuge. Well,
most of those deaths actually have come from

91
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:26.480
attack on central Gaza and the southern
tip of Gaza City, that is northern

92
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:33.279
Gaza. But there were some reported
deaths near Malassee, which is the safest

93
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:39.519
zone. I won't call it a
safe zone because it is still as last

94
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:45.319
night proved, still coming under fire, you know, on and off during

95
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:51.319
this war. You know, Israel
moving back to certain parts of the northern

96
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:57.399
Gaza strip that it claims was cleared
of HAMAF fighters, showing that there's still

97
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.360
pockets of resistance even in northern Gaza. The rest of the Israeli army is

98
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:09.160
focused. Most of their fighters are
in Communists still, which is down in

99
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:14.000
the south, destroying tunnel down.
Communist is in the south, correct,

100
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:19.519
fighting you know, fighting Hamas there
looking for Hamasa's leader, Signore, and

101
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:25.800
that's where is really the hostages are
being held in the tunnels underneath communists.

102
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:30.079
Okay, and then Jordana, we
also got word that this is just not

103
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:35.639
great news for the Palestinian people by
any stretch. The World Food Program says

104
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:42.120
it's pausing deliveries of food in northern
Gaza because it's just too chaotic in the

105
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:48.480
area. That's right. The World
Food Program essentially says they've suspended their delivery

106
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:53.600
of food to Northern Gaza. Remember
this is a part of the Gaza strip

107
00:07:53.680 --> 00:08:05.160
that is very inaccessible already because of
the presence of Hamak fighters, and it

108
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.959
is far from the Rafa border and
it is just simply difficult for aid trucks

109
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.399
to make it all the way up
there. This is terrible news and it

110
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.879
comes on the heels of a report
by UNISF that one out of six children

111
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.639
in northern Gaza are suffering from acute
malnutrition. That the you know, poverty

112
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.480
or starvation rate, the cute malnutrition
rate the northern Gauza of fifteen percent and

113
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.639
down in the south about five percent, where before the war it was only

114
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:41.279
about one percent, to give you
an idea of how much it has spiked.

115
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.360
So this is raising fears of you
know, starvation in northern Gaza.

116
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:52.639
I will say that we are hearing
initial reports that Israel is preparing to reopen

117
00:08:52.720 --> 00:09:00.000
the Carnie crossing and where the Northern
crossing, it's a northern crossing between Israel

118
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.320
and the Gaza strip and that would
tremendously help that crossing with an industrial crossing

119
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:11.799
was closed ten years ago. Oh
okay, so that big moves. Yeah,

120
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.600
it's just it's it's terrible and heartbreaking. Yeah, and still you want

121
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:26.120
hamasure the people that are just like
collateral damage. So yeah, it's terrefunning.

122
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.120
Okay. So then let's talk to
about the UN Security Council vote yesterday

123
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:37.039
demanding an immediate cease fire, and
then the that doesn't hold because the US

124
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:43.240
immediately vetoed it. That's right,
I mean everyone expected President Biden to vetow

125
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.879
this at the UN because to call
for an immediate too fire would essentially leave

126
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.279
Kumas in control of the Gaudza Strip. They've certainly been hit by this war,

127
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.279
but they are still fighting fiercely in
the south. They still have six

128
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.159
battalions that are intact, their leaders
are alive, they're holding those one hundred

129
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.480
and thirty two hostages. So it
was clear that the President was going to,

130
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:13.240
you know, to to veto this. The United States is now and

131
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:20.759
today we're seeing more talks in Cairo
pushing for a hostage deal and a temporary

132
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.720
ceasefire that would be linked to obviously
a release of some of the hostages and

133
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.519
a boost and aid to Gaza,
so that instead of going through the UN,

134
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:35.440
the president is really working on that
track, even though the United States

135
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.759
presented another version of that UN but
resolution. But if you look at it,

136
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:46.879
it's mirrors the negotiation in the talk
Tomorrow, the President's Bomboyd Brett McGirk

137
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.919
is coming to Jerusalem. You know, God willing there'll be some progress,

138
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.840
okay, and well we will be
watching it. Jordana Miller, thank you

139
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.320
so much for the information and the
update. Thanks so soon. All right,

140
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.679
let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty

141
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.159
four hour newsroom. One person has
been arrested for a small explosion near a

142
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:11.000
shopping center in Tustin. Police say
someone set off an ilegal mortar like firework

143
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.559
yesterday in front of the shopping center
that produced a loud boom. The bomb

144
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.879
squad had to be called in to
make sure that the area was safe.

145
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.399
One person has been detained, no
one was hurt. One teenager has been

146
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.960
killed and two others were hurt during
a crash involving a stolen car in Encina.

147
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.480
Laped officer say while on patrol they
noticed a car without its lights on

148
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.559
southbound on Balboen. As they tried
to pull over the driver, the driver

149
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.320
kept going. Moments later, officers
say the car turned left onto Ventura Boulevard,

150
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.279
struck a light pole, and burst
into flames. The crash happened just

151
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.600
after midnight yesterday, and officers were
able to rescue the driver in front seat

152
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.360
passenger. The passenger in the back
seat died on scene. The driver of

153
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.720
the car was a fourteen year old
girl, and the car had been reported

154
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:56.039
stolen by a relative of someone in
the car. Steve Gregory Kapine News.

155
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:00.519
Public schools in California would be required
to have armed police officers under new state

156
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.679
bill. Under the bill, the
state would pay for the officer's salaries.

157
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.919
Assemblyman Bill A. Saley says California
has had ninety six school shootings between twenty

158
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.519
eighteen and twenty twenty three. Police
response time can mean the difference between life

159
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.080
and death in these tragic situations.
Charter schools would also be required to have

160
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.480
armed officers under the bill. The
bill will need to pass the Education Committee

161
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.000
and Appropriations Committee before the full Assembly
can vote on it. Blake Trolley k

a shooting during the chief's Super Bowl
victory parade and rally. Court papers say

164
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:41.000
the men were strangers who pulled out
guns last week and started firing within seconds

191
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.000
the rain has been coming down hard. Thirteen pit bulls have been euthanized.

192
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.240
The dogs were put down by animal
control after a thirty five year old

193
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.320
man in Compton was muled to death
by at least five of the dogs last

194
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.600
week. Investigators believe the man who
was breeding and selling the pit bulls was

195
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.320
attacked while he fed them. Thursday
night, Beatlemania set to hit theaters in

196
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.120
a big way. Sam Mendez will
direct four movies, each one focusing on

197
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.440
one member of the Fab Four.
Mendez says he's honored to be telling the

198
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.440
story of the greatest rock band of
all time, but you're gonna have to

199
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.360
wait a while to see them.
The films won't be in theaters until twenty

200
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.679
twenty seven. At six oh five, it's handled on the news. Two

201
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.000
people have been charged with murder in
the Kansas City Chiefs Parade shooting. Let's

202
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.720
say good morning to KTLA's tech reporter
and the host of Rich on Tech right

203
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.679
here on KFI. It's Rich Demiro. Good morning, Rich. Hey,

204
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.279
they're good morning to you. Amy. Okay, so since it's so wet

205
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.720
and soggy today, let's let's kick
off by talking about the iPhone and what

206
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.639
happens if it gets wet and soggy. Yeah. So, you know,

207
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.080
for years we've heard to dry out
an iPhone or you know, any smartphone,

208
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.720
you would put it in a bed
of rice and it would dry it

209
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.240
out over you know, period of
time, and it would be fine.

210
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.639
But now, according to a new
Apple support document, they say, do

211
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:00.440
not use rice to dry out the
phone. Why because rice particles could get

212
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.159
into that port and damage it.
Wow, so you're probably wondering what do

213
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.480
I do instead? I am?
I am wondering. Rich They actually laid

214
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.399
out pretty clearly. They say to
kind of place the phone against your hand,

215
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.000
kind of tap it a little bit
to get the excess water out of

216
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.240
the bottom port. Then they say
to let it dry for at least a

217
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.720
half an hour, plug in the
cable. If you get that warning that

218
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.639
says it's still wet, take out
the cable. Leave it to dry for

219
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.960
up to a twenty four hours.
They say, do not use like a

220
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.799
hair dryer, do not spray any
air into it, do not use a

221
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:36.519
cotton swab. Basically, just let
it dry out. Okay, So if

222
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:40.200
it like and does this apply,
like, can you save your phone if

223
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.519
you drop it in the sink?
Yeah. I mean, here's the thing.

224
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:47.799
You know, iPhones in almost every
modern smartphone is water resistance. So

225
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.519
it's going to be fine. It's
just a matter of it's not water proof.

226
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.080
So these are not meant for like
underwater cameras. And yes, when

227
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:57.120
they're still when they're wet, they're
still electronic. A little bit of moisture

228
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.320
could get in there. You just
want that moisture to dry out sometime.

229
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.279
You know, most of the time
it'll be just fine. Okay, that's

230
00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:07.559
good to know. I've never had
that experience, and I'm hoping that I

231
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.119
don't, but I know a lot
of people like my nephew who dove into

232
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.519
the pool with his iPhone in his
pocket, he's experienced. Yeah, and

233
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.079
it may not dry out immediately,
that's the thing. And people try to

234
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:19.319
plug it in and they say,
oh my gosh, it's ruined. But

235
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.319
plugging it in could actually you know, short circuit or ruin it. So

236
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.359
you want to make sure that you're
letting it dry sufficiently. Okay, So

237
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:32.759
be patient and let nature do its
think. Tell us about how pictures are

238
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:36.680
showing up on other people's cameras.
Yeah, this is a pretty wild breach.

239
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.720
Why Security Camera is very popular startup. They came out with a twenty

240
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.920
dollars camera back in like I don't
know, twenty nineteen, twenty seventeen,

241
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.119
and a lot of people like this
company because the cameras are inexpensive and they

242
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.799
had a lot of great features.
But over the weekend, it turns out

243
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.079
that they had a security glitch where
the cameras went offline, and when they

244
00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.319
came back online, people, you
know, customers opened up their apps and

245
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.119
they saw other people's camera footage in
there like other bait. That's weird.

246
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.519
Yeah, like thumbnails, It wasn't
like you couldn't log in and see someone

247
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.720
else like a live stream of their
camera, but the thumbnail would show like

248
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.880
someone else's camera view and then you
can click that and maybe get a little

249
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:23.039
tiny preview. So this affected thirteen
thousand customers. Fifteen hundred customers actually tapped

250
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:27.400
and said like wait what and tapped
and saw a bigger view of the image.

251
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.319
Okay, and so that was was
it because the glitch in the system

252
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.119
or was it a hack or do
they know what happened? It was not

253
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.079
a hack, so basically the system
went offline and when it came back online,

254
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.119
the software they were using was so
flooded with every single user trying to

255
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.920
get back online at the same time
or all these cameras you know, connecting

256
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:53.200
to the internet, and so it
basically misfiled, like it didn't line up

257
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.240
the people with their apps properly.
And so they said, we are going

258
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.799
to fix this. We actually came
out with the soft update that if this

259
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.319
ever happens again, there will be
a you know, it basically can't happen

260
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.599
again. That's what they're saying.
Okay, and this is for Wise cameras,

261
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.279
which I hadn't heard of before,
but it's Wysee and they're WISE the

262
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:14.880
home security systems. Yep, they're
very popular. And you know, I

263
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:17.400
have a couple of them, and
I've talked about them for years. But

264
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:19.759
this is you know, this is
like their second or third time they've had

265
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.079
a little issue. Now this is
the startup, so you know, you

266
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.680
have to understand that. But the
reality is you don't want to hear this

267
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.000
when it comes to your security cameras. Yeah it and I know, like

268
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.519
it reminds me of the cloud,
like it says, oh, here back

269
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.519
everything up to the cloud. That
always makes me nervous because I'm like,

270
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.119
I don't want everybody to have all
my stuff. Well, the best cloud

271
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.880
is always end to end encrypted.
So if you ever see that option,

272
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.160
that is the best option because that
means that you and only you and only

273
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.559
your devices can access the stuff that's
on the cloud, even if someone else

274
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.160
got a hold of it. But
you know, it's very complicated and more

275
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.599
expensive to do that, and so
not every provider offers that, and not

276
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:02.680
everyone enables that. Okay, end
to end note to self if I ever

277
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:06.119
go and put stuff on the cloud. Okay. You know we've talked about

278
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:11.039
AI, and there are concerns that
AI can be bad and maybe lead to

279
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.960
the destruction of humanity, But there
are some really cool things that AI is

280
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.119
doing, and Microsoft has one of
them. Yeah. I went over to

281
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:25.000
Laplente and a school over there is
part of a test pilot where they're trying

282
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:30.279
this new Microsoft Reading Coach and this
is a really neat AI tool because you

283
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.799
know, kids need to read better
and read more, and so this tool

284
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.440
is kind of fun because they choose
the character of the story, the setting

285
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.279
of the story, and their reading
level and AI generates a custom story for

286
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.039
them on the fly, it listens
to them read that story, and then

287
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.480
it grades their proficiency. And so
teachers what used to take a couple of

288
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:53.319
days to listen to every single student
and how they're reading. This takes,

289
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.400
you know, in real time.
You could do a whole class and it

290
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.680
highlights the words that they had trouble
with and it gives you their proficiency.

291
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:04.319
It's completely free, and my kid
tried it out last night. It's pretty

292
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:08.880
cool and it's called Microsoft Reading Coach. Microsoft Reading Coach. I'll put a

293
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.440
link on my website and it's free. You just need to log in with

294
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.200
a Microsoft account. It is beta, so it's not perfect, like,

295
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.400
not every feature works perfectly, but
for a free, you know, way

296
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.160
to help your kids read better,
especially if they're struggling a little bit,

297
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.680
this is a really nice tool.
And of course I asked Microsoft about the

298
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.559
safety, you know, concerns of
AI and they said they did build in

299
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.079
a lot of guardrails to make sure
it's safe for kids. Okay, so

300
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.839
here's my question, because you said
your son tried it out. When it

301
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:41.359
is customizing things and then gently guiding
when mistakes are made and that kind of

302
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:47.480
stuff. Does it talk to your
kid? It doesn't talk, but it

303
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:49.240
just you know, on the screen. It'll say, here's the words you

304
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:53.079
had trouble with, and then it
will yeah, basically, and then it'll

305
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.920
show you your proficiency. It'll show
you the words and that kind of stuff.

306
00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.960
So it does use your microphone to
listen to you talking to the app,

307
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.519
but it doesn't like say, no, this is how you pronounce it,

308
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.160
not that I saw. No.
So you still need people, oh

309
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.720
you still look, you still need
people no matter what. Although I will

310
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:18.359
tell you my kid is learning Italian
on dual Lingo and I'm very impressed with

311
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:19.759
how much he's learned. And he
also, you know, took kindergarten and

312
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.480
Zoom and he learned how to read
and write. So you know, look,

313
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.559
this stuff is pretty wild. These
kids are learning in ways that we

314
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.680
never imagined, I know. And
so now when they grow up and they

315
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.799
say they think they know it all, they probably actually will. Yeah,

316
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.400
they probably he actually does, like
he yeah, a lot of you.

317
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.319
I call it YouTube university. All
right. This is KTLA's tech reporter,

318
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:44.920
Rich Demiro. He is the host

so much, Rich, We'll talk to

322
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.559
you next week. Thank you.
Amy. All right, let's get back

323
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:02.160
to some of this or he's coming
out of the CAFI twenty four hour newsroom.

324
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:07.559
LAPD Chief More says he has concerns
about the fatal police shooting downtown of

325
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.599
a man holding a plastic fork.
Moore told the Police Commission yesterday he questioned

326
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:17.079
the actions of the officer who fired
when the man grabbed another officer's bean bag

327
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:21.559
shotgun. The chief says the officer
who fired will probably be identified in the

328
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.880
next few days. A business owner
near Skidrow had called police saying a man

329
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.839
was threatening his employees with a stick
or pull. The man's family has hired

330
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.519
a lawyer. A ten point three
million dollar grant from FEMA will help prevent

331
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:38.920
sewage from spewing out in southern Orange
County during natural disasters. This project will

332
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:45.559
allow us to relocate two miles of
sewer lines. Moulton Negel Water District CEO

333
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.880
June Kim Lopez says this will improve
pipes that were installed in nineteen eighty so

334
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.279
that it could be more resilient in
an earthquake, when a storm event,

335
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.799
or even in a wildfire. Congressman
Mike Levin says six cities in South o

336
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.960
se depend on the molten Noguel Water
District. He carries half of all of

337
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.640
the district wastewater from the collection system
to the local treatment plan. The project

338
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:08.640
uses a trenchilest tunnel technique to minimize
impact to the natural environment in Laguna Hills.

339
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:15.519
Corbin Carson caf I News. Congressman
darryl Isa is visiting Hakumba today.

340
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.640
That's where the number of people crossing
the border into San Diego has gone way

341
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.759
up. Governor Abbott simply by making
it seem like they were not wanted in

342
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:29.920
Texas has caused a shift of people
coming to Arizona and California because they're welcome

343
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.160
here by their governors. Isis is. President Biden has the power to stop

344
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.680
much of the illegal immigration at the
border through emergency powers and asylum rules that

345
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:42.160
require people to stay in Mexico.
He could do remain in Mexico as a

346
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:45.119
matter of fact, He could say
to Mexico I don't want to offend you,

347
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:49.039
but these people are already in your
country, and under asylum rules,

348
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.559
you get them first. We don't
even have to consider them at the border

349
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:57.759
isis as the majority of migrants are
still crossing the border illegally. When we

350
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:03.119
come back, Amy's on it.
Yep, that's me. It's a documentary

351
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.960
that I watched a second time after
something that happened on the BAFTA Movie Awards.

352
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.319
Southland weather from KFI. Heavy rain
at times with a chance of thunderstorms.

353
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.640
This morning should clear off this afternoon. High's in the mid sixties at

354
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.160
the beaches Metro La and in Lando
Sea. Upper fifties to mid sixties for

355
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.440
the valleys and Inland Empire. Forties
and fifties in the High Desert. Partly

356
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.039
cloudy with highs in the sixties to
mid seventies Tomorrow and Friday. The next

357
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.720
chance of rain rolls in Sunday night
and Monday. It's fifty six in Irvine,

358
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.240
fifty six in Huntington Beach. You're
listening to a wake up call on

359
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:40.079
demand from KFI AM six forty.
It's five thirty five on your wake up

360
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:45.160
call. Good morning, Happy Wednesday. We can expect Bill handleby seeing homday

361
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.039
a lot in about a half an
hour. I'm Amy King. Here's what

362
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:52.279
we're following in the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. The storm moving through southern

363
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.079
California's dumped four inches of rain on
LA in a day. That's the most

364
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:59.640
we've seen in a single day in
twenty years. The heavy rain should taper

365
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:03.240
off to snows is still expected in
the mountains as the storm moves east.

366
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.440
Police in Kansas City of charge two
people with murder in connection with the deadly

367
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:11.039
shooting at the Chief's Super Bowl parade
and rally. Police identified the person who

368
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:15.839
fired the shot that killed Lisa Lopez
Galvin, but both men are still facing

369
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:22.039
murder charges. Assembly Member Matt Hainey
has introduced a bill that would require landlords

370
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:26.240
to accept pets. It's the first
legislation of its kind in the US and

371
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.720
is intended to keep owners from asking
renters about pets and from charging additional deposits

372
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:36.359
and monthly fees known as pet rent. At six oh five, it's Handle

373
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.119
on the news. A woman from
LA who's a dual Russian citizen has been

374
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:45.599
detained and charged with treason for allegedly
donating to and supporting Ukraine. At five

375
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.839
point fifty, we're going to tell
you about your chance to visit a ghostly

376
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:59.400
retreat that fans of the haunted Mansion
at Disneyland are gonna die for. Damis

377
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:07.920
it on? It? What am
I on? I'm on streaming shows.

378
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.559
There are documentaries, there are TV
series, there are movies. There's so

379
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:17.440
much content. How do you know
what you should watch? Ask a friend.

380
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.359
That's how I figure out what to
watch. Usually get recommendations from my

381
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:27.279
friends and family members. And this
one I actually had watched before, but

382
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:30.880
I was reminded of it because I
didn't tell you guys about it yet.

383
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:37.039
I was reminded of it when the
BAFTA Awards were handed out and those are

384
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:44.960
the UK's version of the Oscars,
and they had Michael J. Fox announced

385
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.640
the winner of the Best Movie,
and I thought, you know what,

386
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.599
Michael J. Fox. Wow,
he was pretty. He's an impressive,

387
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.839
impressive person. And they brought him
out. He was in a wheelchair,

388
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.559
He got up, walked to the
podium and as you know, he has

389
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.240
Parkins since disease, he's raised.
I think they set a couple billion dollars

390
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.359
for Parkinson's research. I mean,
he's really taken what he you know,

391
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:15.640
a nasty, nasty disease and made
the best of it and is an amazing,

392
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:19.680
amazing person for what he's done.
So there is a documentary called Still.

393
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:26.359
It was released in May of twenty
twenty three. It's on Apple TV,

394
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.200
so you can go stream it,
and it's a story of not only

395
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:36.279
his life before, but his life
now as he lives with Parkinson's. And

396
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.880
at the very beginning of the show, he's twenty nine years old. It's

397
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.440
in nineteen ninety and he wakes up. He's been out partying and he said,

398
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:49.319
that's the first time he remembers something
being wrong. And he woke up

399
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:55.799
with a hangover and had like a
twitch on his on his pinky finger.

400
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:59.000
It was moving and he couldn't He's
like, what is that that? I'm

401
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:03.079
not doing that? And that was
the first inkling that something was wrong.

402
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.880
Maybe a signed from the future for
him for the start back to the future.

403
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:10.960
So and then they go and they
tell the story of Michael J.

404
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:15.039
Fox growing up and how when he
was a little kid, and he was

405
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:17.440
a little kid, and he talks
about that, you know, because he's

406
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:22.039
not exactly he's not exactly tall,
but he he could never be still.

407
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.359
He was always going, always going, always going, and he said he

408
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:29.640
was he was the kid who got
bullied because he was little, and he

409
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:32.759
was the one who got shoved in
the lockers. But he also knew that

410
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:34.720
he could run really fast, and
so that's how he got away from things.

411
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:40.799
And and then he discovered when I
can't remember if it was in junior

412
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.160
high, but he discovered drama class. He said, that's where the girls

413
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:48.519
were, and that's how he first
got interested in acting. And then it

414
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:53.720
talks about how he got to Hollywood
and how because he was a little bit

415
00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:59.000
older, but he was very he
was short, I'm pretty small, he

416
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:02.759
would get cast in the the roles
playing kids, but he was easier to

417
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:08.039
work with because he was older,
so the casting directors liked him. The

418
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:12.799
show itself is really really interesting because
it's got all this music from the period,

419
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:18.839
so it's definitely kind of a throwback
piece, lots of flashbacks to his

420
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.319
early work, like before you knew
who Michael J. Fox was, so

421
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:25.440
that's kind of fun to see.
And then of course it talks about back

422
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:30.240
to the Future and how he got
that role and Also he details how he

423
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:36.319
was really the typical starving artist,
like had no food, would eat jam

424
00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:40.319
that he took from like the Dennis
because he didn't have money. And then

425
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:44.720
he was twenty two years old when
family ties came along and that's when it

426
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:49.799
all kind of started coming together.
And it's just really really well done and

427
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:56.839
super interesting and super cool to just
see his life and how he's dealing with

428
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.960
having Parkinson's and how his family is
Tracy Poll and his wife and his kids

429
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:07.079
and everything. It's called Still.
It's on Apple TV, and I highly

430
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:11.279
highly recommend it. It's really inspirational, heartwarming, heartbreaking all at the same

431
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:15.599
time, and a really good watch. That's Amy's on it for this week.

432
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.079
Now, let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the

433
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.680
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
rain is on its way out. The

434
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:26.319
National Weather Services showers should linger this
morning, but the storm is moving east.

435
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.400
Rainfall this morning is expected to be
the highest over La County. We

436
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.960
can attest to that. Half inch
to one and a half inches is expected

437
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:38.279
for the coast and valleys, one
to two inches in the mountains. Two

438
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:44.319
men from Temechila, I've pleaded guilty
to filing thousands of bogus priority mail insurance

439
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:49.200
claims and added up to two point
three million dollars. US Attorney spokesman Kiaran

440
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:56.920
McAvoy says Anwar and USAF se Alam
used fake names and fifteen post office boxes.

441
00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:01.480
One of the brothers wrapped empty packages
or packages containing little or no value,

442
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:07.559
and then sent them by a priority
mail to fake recipients at fictitious addresses.

443
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.880
McVoy says the brothers would buy one
hundred dollars worth of insurance for priority

444
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:16.200
packages they then claimed were lost,
damaged, or stolen. The alum brothers

445
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:21.720
pleaded guilty Friday and faced twenty years
in prison when they're sentenced in November.

446
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:28.000
President Biden's in southern California for more
campaign fundraising. He's expected to speak in

447
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.240
Culver City today as he wraps up
a two day visit. Biden spoke for

448
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:34.920
seventeen minutes last night at a fundraiser
in Beverly Hills at the home of Israeli

449
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:39.759
American media mogul him Saban Hunter.
Biden has asked a judge in California to

450
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:45.319
drop tax related charges against him.
His lawyers filed emotion yesterday, arguing he's

451
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:52.319
been selectively targeted for prosecution. They
also claimed there were multiple charges for the

452
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:57.519
same tax year and that the statute
of limitations has expired. Biden pleaded not

453
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:01.519
guilty last month to the nine charges
again him. The LA City Councils approved

454
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:07.160
millions of dollars for public toilets in
Hollywood. The multimillion dollar project also includes

455
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.640
a new visitors center at sixteen twenty
seven Vine Council in Hugo Soda. Martinez

456
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:15.119
set amenities such as bathrooms could better
support tourism and development. The city has

457
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:19.519
about one hundred and eighty nine public
toilets, or about five toilets per one

458
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:22.640
hundred thousand people, and according to
the Public Toilet Index, YEP, it's

459
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:25.720
a thing. It's not enough toilets
for a city that size. Now take

460
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:30.000
for instance, Madison, Wisconsin,
which has thirty five toilets per one hundred

461
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:35.400
thousand people. Steve Gregory kf I
knows, and we're going to talk to

481
00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:59.960

people because I think it's just such a

482
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.199
a fun, fun, fun fun
of events. The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland

483
00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:09.320
closed for refurbishment, but this weekend, fans of the mansion get a chance

484
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:15.159
to see what you're calling a ghostly
retreat inspired by the mansion and implemented by

485
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:17.800
some of the people who bring helped
to help to bring it to life.

486
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:22.360
So Jeff tell us all about it. Yeah, so the ghost of Retreat

487
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:29.639
is this really incredible airbnbing down in
Orange count of California. That is I

488
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:32.599
mean, it was made by a
man who professionally creates counted houses and does

489
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:39.000
scenic design and stuff like business profession
and this place is just an incredible recreation

490
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:45.800
of the Haunted Mansions. And I
decided to put together a reunion and source

491
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:49.880
the folks who worked on the Haunted
Mansion and who work you know in a

492
00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:53.280
top spring because this has done a
lot of Haunted Mansion projects, and gather

493
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:59.400
them all together for an afternoon fans
of the mansion to come together meet these

494
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:04.800
talent. And I had an original
piece of art created for this event by

495
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:07.880
a Disney illustrator. And they'll be
able to meet these guests, get them

496
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:12.400
all autographed and hang out and go
to the retreat, which typically you want

497
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.000
to do if you're booking, you
know, an expensive overnight day. So

498
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:19.800
so yeah, I'm happy to do
this. And it's all raising money to

499
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.719
Saint Dude Children's Research Hospital. I
love it when wet and when we raise

500
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:27.639
money for Saint Jude's. So tell
us about you said, you're you're bringing

501
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:34.039
together people who were inspirations of or
people who made the mansion. What are

502
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:37.800
some of the contributions that they made
and who are they? Yeah, So

503
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:42.920
Bomber is a Disney legend. He
actually worked with Walt Disney. So Walt

504
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.559
Disney hired Bomber to design a lot
of the vehicles that we know a Disney's,

505
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:51.760
like the monorail and the main street
vehicles and stuff like that, and

506
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:55.840
he created the famous doom Buggies that
we all ride in. The Doom Buggies.

507
00:36:55.960 --> 00:37:01.639
Nice. Yeah, So he'll be
there and then we have imagineer Ethan

508
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:07.440
Reid who's been He was at Walt
Disn't Imagineering for over twenty years and he

509
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.480
worked on a trection called Mystic Manner
at Hong Kong disneland which they considered the

510
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:15.360
twenty first century Haunted Mansion. And
he did a lot of character designs for

511
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:20.559
that and animated all of the animatronic
figures and was an art director, which

512
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:24.760
is incredible. It's a great attraction. And then with Gardner Holtz, who

513
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:30.960
is an animatronics master who does animatronic
figures for man He just co being parts

514
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:36.599
and then activities and he treated Hana
Mansion holidays if you're familiar with that.

515
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:40.639
He did those animatronic figures and the
props for when Jack Spellington takes over the

516
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:46.360
Haunted Mansion. And then Carolyn Gardner's
coming. She was a ghost writer.

517
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:52.360
She actually just retired from Disney and
she was sent for forty five years ghost

518
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:59.800

written Han Mention books and this Mansed Anniversary

519
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:04.440
of are written for the Haunt Mention
Anniversary. So that's very cool. With

520
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:08.199
the director of mappet Counted Mansion running
at Kirk Thatcher, which is very exciting

521
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:13.559
and then Rick law who, as
I mentioned as a Disney illustrator who created

522
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:17.400
an art piece for this event and
used to design all this Disney VHS DVD

523
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:23.199
couverses that we all love them.
Okay, So Jeff, why do people

524
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:29.760
love the Haunted Mansion so much?
Why wouldn't you? My goodness, Ah,

525
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:34.639
it's a honestly, it's just like
such a detailed attraction that like it

526
00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:39.079
was the time well Disney imagineering that
was counting out of practice, like parts

527
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:44.400
of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion,
things that are decades old and still I

528
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:46.840
would say for a lot of people
at the top of their list when they

529
00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:52.639
go to Disneyland that they it has
stood to test the time. I always

530
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:54.360
like a little bit of spooky in
my life, so you know how a

531
00:38:54.480 --> 00:39:00.400
spooky has a discipline is a grand
thing that doesn't beautiful job telling the story?

532
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:05.039
Yeah, And I think one of
the other things that is so amazing

533
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:08.639
about the Haunted Mansion. And I'm
guessing that if you go to this event,

534
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:13.199
you're gonna you're going to see and
be reminded of some of these things.

535
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:15.719
But every time you go through the
mansion, you discover something new because

536
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:21.000
there's so much to see, and
I've seen some glimpses of what you've got

537
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:24.159
going on for your event, and
I'm like, yeah, I would imagine

538
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:28.920
you wouldn't see everything just one time
through, but with this you get to

539
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:31.760
kind of wander around for a couple
of hours and really really see everything.

540
00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:37.000
Absolutely, I mean there's a ton
of detail. I think those the retreats

541
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:43.079
hidden the keys and there. I
love a good hidden mickey. Yeah.

542
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:46.519
Absolutely, and I mean folks when
they step into the space, so really

543
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:51.679
be blown away. I've been a
couple of times at this point and I'm

544
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:57.119
just always wowed by just being the
attention to detailing there. It's incredible.

545
00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:02.239
The bedrooms are being a different I
mentioned characters who's just like Madam Madam Leonto's

546
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:08.760
bedroom bedroom, so different. Areas
even a quote unquote stretching room where our

00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:14.719

00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:30.599
Thirteen dogs that mauled their owner to
death and Compton have been euthanized.

563

Video shows the man being attacked while
trying to feed his dogs in his backyard.

564
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:37.920
Officials say a fight may have broken
out between the dogs that provoked the

565
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:42.000
attack. The man killed last Thursday
had multiple kennels in his backyard. And

566
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:45.119
was believed to have been breeding the
dogs. Animal control removed eight adults and

567
00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:50.559
five puppies, confirming yesterday that all
thirteen had to be put down. LA

568
00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:53.639
County Animal Care says the dogs were
a threat to the community and euthanizing them

569
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:58.599
was necessary. The girlfriend of the
man killed says she wants to clarify the

570
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:04.679
dogs were not pit bulls but American
bullies. Chris Adler KFI News. Officials

Palestinians. The aid group Doctors Without
Borders also says two people were killed when

573
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:17.000
a shelter housing staff in the Gaza
strip was hit. Iran has accused Israel

574
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:22.639
of a sabotage attack on an Iranian
natural gas pipeline that caused multiple explosions.

575
00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:28.320
Iran's oil minister made the accusation as
Israel has been blamed for a series of

576
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:34.119
attacks targeting Iran's nuclear program. Israel
has not acknowledged carrying out the pipeline attacks

00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:37.199
last week. California and Sweden have
renewed a partnership to fight climate change for

578
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:42.840

579
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:45.320

Future's not just something experience, it's
something a manifest It's our decisions, not

581
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:52.480
conditions, that will determine the fate
and future of this planet as it relates

582
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:59.039
