Russian media says preliminary 20 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:46.280 information points to a blood clot.

The brunt of the storms 56 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.439 expected to hit the LA area Sunday night and continue until Wednesday, with a 57 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:38.839 potential for several rounds of heavy rain, maybe some thunderstorms. Initial predictions call 58 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.879 for a total of two to three inches of rain, could be even more 59 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.199 in the valleys and coastal areas. Four to eight inches expected in the foothills 60 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.959 and mountains. But right now, let's check in with ABC's Jim Ryan. 61 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:56.680 Jim, it's only February, but a lot of people are starting to plan 62 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.639 for summer vacation, right, Yeah, this is the time you start doing 63 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.399 that. You start looking ahead to your spring break, your summer vacation. 64 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.519 And if this year is like last year and the year before, we're going 65 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:10.560 to see record numbers of people traveling right in the air, on the train, 66 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.079 taking cruises. Well, one thing you need to be careful is you 67 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:18.639 start making those arrangements to be careful that you've secured those websites, secured the 68 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.360 apps that hardly anybody uses travel agents anymore, Amy, They just book these 69 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.839 things themselves, their hotels, their flights, their rental cars, whatever. 70 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.360 But in doing so, you're opening yourself up to a potential hacking. A 71 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.800 few weeks ago, Booking dot Com was broken into was hacked by criminals who 72 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:42.079 were able to get ahold of passwords that were on an internal messaging system there 73 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.560 with it within Booking dot Com. So if you use Booking dot Com or 74 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.680 expeedy or any of them, really you just need to be very careful with 75 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.279 how you handle your own data. Okay, So when you say you need 76 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:55.519 to be careful with how you handle your own data, I mean you have 77 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.560 to input information into the system. So how do you be careful with it? 78 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.160 You're right, yeah, I mean with the with the travel sites, 79 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.720 you have to put in your known traveler number, your passport number. With 80 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.360 the airlines, you have to enter those things. You really can't get around 81 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.279 it. But that's a treasure trove of stuff that hackers have, the information 82 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.600 that can be used to build a doppelganger. Amy, for example, to 83 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.439 go out and apply for credit cards in your name, and it hurts you 84 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:25.120 financially for a long time. Come big headache. So what you need to 85 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.120 do is secure those sites. Use two factor authentication. You know, set 86 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:33.439 up the system so that your travel related accounts you have to receive a text 87 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:40.399 or receive a message or somehow secure it with two factor authentication. That should 88 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.600 help to protect those accounts. Get sign a notification. So for example, 89 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.639 your Southwest Airlines account, if somebody tries to use it, then you get 90 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.600 a notification. Just turn that notification on. Then the passwords. This goes 91 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:56.319 for all sorts of websites and apps, not just travel sites or apps. 92 00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.920 Make sure you're using unique passwords, not the same one for all of you 93 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.120 your airlines, all of your hotels. She used different passwords. Difficult to 94 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:09.399 remember passwords, or better yet, use the biometric method you know that your 95 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.600 phone has in it. Now look at your phone. You try to open 96 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.079 the American Airlines and it asks you to use your facial recognition to get into 97 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:21.240 that set. You don't have to remember all those particular passwords. Yeah, 98 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:26.160 I like the facial recognition one because great. Quite honestly, Jim and tell 99 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.600 me if you're the same as me on this the password thing. Don't write 100 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.240 your passwords down. Use a really weird one use a unique one. Well, 101 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.120 how am I supposed to remember it? I can't even remember the basic 102 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:43.399 ones, let alone ones that have the characters and the numbers and the symbols. 103 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.959 It's difficult and you shouldn't write that down, don't put it on a 104 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:53.079 post it on your laptop and then you know because it's just right for hackers. 105 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.920 The other thing if you send and this is unique to travel and of 106 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.120 course a lot of the folks who will be traveling the next few months are 107 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.720 not frequent flyers. These are people traveling for pleasure on vacation, so they 108 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.439 may not be up to all on all other stuff. If you're sitting at 109 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.759 the airport, you side to log on, take a look at stuff on 110 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:15.199 your phone or your laptop. Best to use your own personal hotspot, right, 111 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.160 don't use the airport WiFi. Sure it's free and it can be a 112 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.560 nice deal and it's quick and convenient, but at the same time, it's 113 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:28.279 just it's a hunting ground for hackers. Better yet, leave your laptop at 114 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.160 home. You're on vacation for havent's sake, I know, right, So 115 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.799 I was curious about that though too. So they don't even have to be 116 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.720 nearby. They just know that there is a public network and they can jump 117 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.320 on and watch what you're doing. They're very wily. I mean, I 118 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.279 couldn't figure out how to do it, but certainly hackers know they have the 119 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:48.279 savvy and the expertise and the criminal mind to get through the safety net and 120 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.679 to get at your personal information and stuff that you're clicking on your keyboard. 121 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.279 So yeah, just be very careful about that stuff. Plugging into the powerport 122 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.080 at the airport or at the train station, it can be a problem too. 123 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.679 It can expose the data on your phone to hackers too, So still 124 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:13.080 be very aware. You know, treat your lap chop, treat your passwords 125 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.879 and your personal data like you do your wallet. Keep it close to you 126 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.200 at all times, don't show it to people, take it out only when 127 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.840 it's needed, and then put it back. Okay, and you mentioned the 128 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.240 plugging in at the power stations. I actually Rich Demiro are tech guy and 129 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.559 I were going to talk about it. We ran out of time this week. 130 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:35.639 But that's the thing too, because if you plug into the public charging 131 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:41.519 stations, that makes you vulnerable to hackers. Apparently doesn't happen that often, 132 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.559 but it does happen sure well, because when you're plugging in a physical you 133 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.639 know, USB cable, not only are you drawing power from whatever that source 134 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.200 is, but you're also sharing your data with whatever source that is, right, 135 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.159 It's it does more than just power your phone. It also can be 136 00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:03.960 a conduit for personal information coming off your phone and exposed to people who would 137 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.559 do harm with that information. So don't be suspicious, don't be paranoid, 138 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.600 just be very very careful. Well, that's the thing you say, don't 139 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.320 be suspicious and don't be paranoid, But you're making us just suspicious and paranoid. 140 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:22.000 Well better suspicious than you know, bankrupt i'spous or chasing your own passwords 141 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.759 for the next few years because somebody stole them and opened up a bunch of 142 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.879 credit cards in your name. Just be just be cautious, be circumspect, 143 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:35.360 Okay. And then is another way that you could just like do a blanket 144 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.480 protection of yourself just to freeze your like freeze your accounts with the credit reporting 145 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.879 agencies so no one could open anything. Well, that's certainly that's one way 146 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.720 to protect your credit, right to do that, But then it makes it 147 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.080 a little more difficult for you to use those particular options, you know, 148 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.679 especially if you're dealing with your credit. But here I think we're talking more 149 00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:01.320 about your ability to conveniently, quickly and easy go into Hurts rent a car, 150 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:07.039 for example, and rent your car and your hotel and book your flights. 151 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.360 And if you're using the same password for it Hurts and for holiday inn 152 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.600 and for American airlines. Yeah, I mean, you're just you're opening yourselfself 153 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.600 up to a real potential problem. What's more, by the way, with 154 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:24.360 the booking sites, with Expedia and with booking dot Com, those sites, 155 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.799 by their very nature have to share your information with other sites, with the 156 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.639 rental car and with the hotel and with the airlines, So you know, 157 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.759 just be extra cautious. I mean, we may all have to go back 158 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.320 to using booking or using travel agents some day, but even they are susceptible 159 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.120 to this kind of thing. I wish we would. I love it when 160 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:46.279 somebody plans it for me and I don't have to do it. And you 161 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.000 can still do that, all right, So as you're making your plans, 162 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.639 be alert. Don't be alarmed, but be alert, be careful, amy 163 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.240 be alert. The world needs more alerts. Okay, thank you, Jim 164 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:00.919 Ryan, have a wonderful weekend. Ye. All right, let's get back 165 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.519 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 166 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:09.399 Nine firefighters are recovering from burn injuries caused by a big rig explosion in Wilmington. 167 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.879 Two of the firefighters responding to the initial truck fire were critically injured and 168 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.679 rushed to the Harbor UCLA Medical Center. Trauma surgeon Molly Dean says it was 169 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.559 crucial to stabilize the firefighters airways, especially with inhalational injuries. Beneed that not 170 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.000 only had they been burned, but that there had been an explosion and a 171 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.799 blast. They had potentially been on top of a truck and then thrown back. 172 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.039 One of those critically injured firefighters was airlifted to LA General's Burn Unit yesterday 173 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.480 for continued treatment. LA Fires has one of the trucks, one hundred gallon 174 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:41.440 pressurized natural gas tanks, injured the firefighters when it exploded. Chris Adler KFI 175 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:46.120 News. A state regulatory board has found two juvenile detention centers in La County 176 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:52.679 are unsuitable to house detainees. The board yesterday found the Barry j Nidorf Facility 177 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:58.480 in Silmar and the Los Padrino's Juvenile Holland Downey are out of compliance with regulations 178 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.519 on staff, on training, use of force, disciplinary procedures, safety plans, 179 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.159 and access to recreation. The county has sixty days to fix the issues 180 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:13.080 or the facilities could be shut down. Special Council Robert Hurr is set to 181 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:18.799 testify next month before a Republican led House committee. Her recently declined to prosecute 182 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.519 President Biden over his handling of classified documents. The House panel, led by 183 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:28.840 Jim Jordan, is expected to press her on Biden's mental fitness. They've requested 184 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.919 transcripts and recordings of his interview with the president. Public testimony will be held 185 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.480 March twelve. The White House says Russia has obtained what it calls a troubling 186 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:43.360 emerging anti satellite weapon, but the National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says it 187 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.000 cannot be used to attack people or cause physical destruction on Earth. This is 188 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.759 not an active capability that's been deployed, and though Russia's pursuit of this particular 189 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.200 capability is troubling, there is no immediate threat to anyone's safety. Russia has 190 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.120 downplayed the US concern about the capability. Officials say the claims are a ruse 191 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:09.360 intended to make Congress support more aid for Ukraine. When we come back, 192 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:13.159 we're going to be talking with former counter terrorism coordinator for the Department of Homeland 193 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.360 Security about the threat that Russia poses to US, whether it's with a anti 194 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:24.639 satellite weapon in space or not, and also the death of Putin critic Alexei 195 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:30.639 Navalny. Just finding that information out this morning, and we're going to get 196 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:35.799 some more information from John Cohen on that in just a moment. You're listening 197 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.120 to Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI Am six forty. Here's what we're 198 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.399 following in the KFI twenty four hour news room. A storm headed towards southern 199 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:50.360 California could bring several rain rounds of heavy rain, even thunderstorms. Forecasters say 200 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.600 the brunt of the storm will hit the area late Sunday through Tuesday, with 201 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.240 two to five inches in valley and coastal areas, four to eight inches possible 202 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.200 in the foothills mountains. Egypt appears to be setting up a refugee shelter near 203 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:09.279 the Gaza border in case Israel invades the southern city of Rafa. Egypt has 204 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.039 denied preparing for refugees, but an area is being set up that would have 205 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:18.879 basic facilities for Palestinians in case and Israeli offensive drives them over the border. 206 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.919 CSA officials trying to figure out how a woman was able to fly from Nashville 207 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.960 to lax without an ID or a ticket. Authority says she was spotted going 208 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.960 through security in Nashville, but apparently wasn't asked for an ID or a boarding 209 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.759 pass at security or at the American Airlines gate at six oh five. It's 210 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.840 handle on the news. The city official says the tagged towers in downtown LA 211 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:48.120 remind him of Chernobyl. Let's say good morning to former counter terrorism coordinator at 212 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.279 the Department of Homeland Security. It's ABC's John Cohen, John the Big News 213 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:58.240 this morning. We're just hearing that Alexei Navalny is dead. The good morning 214 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.519 to be with you. Yeah. Alex Davone was a forty seven year old 215 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:11.320 lawyer. He is best known for being essentially the face of political opposition to 216 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:18.480 Vladimir Putin. He opposed Putin in large part because he viewed him as being 217 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:23.679 absolutely corrupt and a threat to democratic processes, not only within Russia but also 218 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:30.440 around the world and throughout his career as he has sought to expose the corruption 219 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.519 of Vladimir Putin, He's been jailed, he was poisoned, and targeted for 220 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.200 assassination. So, you know, when I heard the news, the sad 221 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:44.399 news this morning of his death, I have to say I really wasn't surprised. 222 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.039 There's always been a part of me that's wondered when this would actually occur. 223 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.120 Yeah, I think that you and I am probably a lot of people 224 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.039 who are listening right now have that same feeling. They're like, oh, 225 00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.279 yeah, it was just sort of a matter of time. Yeah, absolutely, 226 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.119 And I think, you know, it's another and a growing list of 227 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:08.920 sort of real time events involving Russia, NATO, and the political debate here 228 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.279 in the United States. I mean, if you could be stepped back a 229 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.680 little bit and look at, you know, how Vladimir Putin maintains political control 230 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:21.279 in Russia. You know, he jails journalists, he jails those who oppose 231 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:26.720 him, or he assassinates them. He holds onto power through the triangulated usage 232 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:33.799 of the intelligence apparatus, the oligarchs, the wealthy businessman who possess most of 233 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.240 the wealth in Russia, and organized crime. And we should also not forget 234 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:42.200 what his overall objectives are because they're very clear, and you only have to 235 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:47.599 understand the history of Ladimir Putin to know what they are, which is, 236 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:52.680 he wants to maintain a grasp on power regardless in Russia, regardless of how 237 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:59.519 he does so. He wants to restore the territorial boundaries and geopolitical influence of 238 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.799 the Soviet Union, So he wants to reclaim territories that for decades have been 239 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.599 free democracies. UH. And he wants to expand the reach of Russia across 240 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.000 the globe. And in order to accomplish that, he has to undermine NATO, 241 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:17.160 and he has to undermine he has to weaken the United States. So 242 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:22.920 he's been engaged in essentially a years long hybrid or asymmetric war using cyber information 243 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:30.160 operations, proxy conflicts UH and even direct provocative or military interactions with the US 244 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:36.039 using the Wagner Group and another assets. So it's he's a dangerous man. 245 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:41.640 He's a ruthless man internally, but he represents a significant national security threat to 246 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.359 the United States. Yeah, you mentioned the Wagner Group, and I am 247 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.640 I'm at a loss for his name right now. But there was the guy 248 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.759 who said, you know, Putin, you we got to stop this war. 249 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:57.039 This is wrong. And then he died in a plane crash. Well, 250 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.880 right, but again this was Putin's cook, right. This was an 251 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:07.200 oligarch who was one of Putin's closest allies. He ran the Wagner Group. 252 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:15.480 He was he was in direct command of the forces that were promoting Russia's will, 253 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.559 not just Ukraine, but in parts of Africa and in the Middle East. 254 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:26.279 And this is somebody who was considered one of Putin's closest advisors, and 255 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:32.160 when Putin viewed him as being in opposition to what he wanted to do, 256 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.000 he mysteriously died. Yeah, And the reason that we were going to talk 257 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.759 today, John, was and then the Navalde thing happened, or we just 258 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:48.960 found out about it, was because of the revelation that Russia has designs on 259 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:53.559 launching some sort of a nuclear weapon to take out our satellites. There is 260 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:59.640 no imminent threat, but as you were just saying, Russia does pose a 261 00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.079 threat to the US. What are some of the other things that they may 262 00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:10.599 be trying to do to undermine US. So the satellite in which you were 263 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:15.119 referencing what the intelligence community has discovered and what they were briefing Congress on is 264 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:22.160 a program by Russia to introduce into orbit nuclear enabled satellites hunter and killer satellites, 265 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.799 and they're what we've learned thus far is that their objective would be to 266 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:30.599 take out US satellites, whether they be spy satellites, weather satellites, GPS 267 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.720 satellites, communication satellites. So you can imagine the impact that that would have 268 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:42.000 when everything from our banking infrastructure to our military capabilities. This seems to be 269 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:47.640 from my perspective, you know, just one in a continuing thing number of 270 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:52.680 things that we're seeing Russia doing, which looks like a preparation in case there 271 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:57.119 is a greater military conflict with NATO and with the US in particular. We 272 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.000 know that they you know, we just heard, yes, they also about 273 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:07.240 Department of Justice taking down a cyber operation by Russian military intelligence which was focusing 274 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.960 on US based critical infrastructure companies. We know that Russia has conducted for years 275 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:18.880 cyber attacks directed at penetrating not only our election infrastructure, but our banking, 276 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:25.559 our power, our water infrastructure. We know that from conversations you and I 277 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:30.319 have had that for years. Russia has been engaged in any operation or information 278 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:37.559 warfare against the United States where they've sought to disrupt our elections. They've sought 279 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:45.839 to so discord across the populace. They've sought to influence elections so that politicians 280 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:51.640 friendlier to their causes could be put into power. They've sought to inspire violence, 281 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:55.720 undermine faith and confidence in the US government, disrupt our relationship with our 282 00:21:55.799 --> 00:22:00.319 NATO allies. They're targeting our NATO allies in a similar manner. Again, 283 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.759 their goals. Russia's goal is not just to annoy US, it's not to 284 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.079 compete with us on an equal footing, but it's to weaken us so that 285 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.759 they can achieve their geopolitical objectives. So this debate in Washington that's going on 286 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.000 right now, it's important for people to listen to the debate. You can 287 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.039 have different views, but you need to look at the debate that's going on 288 00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:23.440 in Washington within the context of the national security threat that Russia poses to the 289 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:26.920 United States. Okay, and we will be watching John Cohen, Thank you, 290 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.799 so much for the information.

At six oh five, it's handle on the news. 335 00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.440 Another person has managed to get on a plane to Lax without a ticket or 336 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.000 id if I poin fifty, We're going to be talking with our entertainment GURUIX 337 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.880 Jason Nathanson about a sticky new movie and what high fashion has to do with 338 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.759 the Nazis. Let's say good morning now to the house whisper and the host 339 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:12.599 of Home on KFI. It's Dean Sharp. Good morning Dean, Good morning 340 00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:17.720 Amy. So we're going to get spaced out a little bit today, a 341 00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:22.440 little bit, just a little bit. This weekend on the show, we're 342 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.400 continuing our series on how to Build Your Dream Home step by step guide, 343 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:33.079 and we're really going to be focusing on some really high concepts in design. 344 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.079 And yet these are the things that I love so much because they have the 345 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:44.200 potential to save so many people so much money. And wait, starting money. 346 00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:48.000 I like that idea exactly exactly, and it's starting off with this idea 347 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:56.079 of the difference between space and spaciousness. Okay, space and spaciousness. Now, 348 00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.720 space is a mathematical absolute. It is how much room is in your 349 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.400 house. Period. You measure the walls, you do the math. You're 350 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:07.000 like, well, I have x amount of square foot, I have fifteen 351 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.559 hundred square feet, I've got two thousand square feet, I've got twelve hundred 352 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.480 square That's it. That is the math, that is the hard reality. 353 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:19.880 Spacious Ness has nothing to do with that. Spaciousness has to do with the 354 00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:26.960 design, the layout of that space and whether it feels like there is room. 355 00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:33.519 Spaciousness is a very emotional kind of psychological concept. And the reason why 356 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:37.559 that is so important is that most people who are feeling like, uh, 357 00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.039 I just I don't feel like I have enough room around here, they think, 358 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:44.200 all right, I'm going to have to add on. And let me 359 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:47.480 tell you, it's not that that's the wrong move. It's just you got 360 00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:52.599 to know, adding on to your home is expensive. It is expensive. 361 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.880 You pour a lot of money literally into the ground, into the foundation and 362 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:00.079 up on the roof where you never these are is that you don't on a 363 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:06.400 daily basis live and breathe and experience all of the investment that you've made. 364 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:11.519 And so when we go into a design project, when it is a remodel 365 00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.839 and not a new build, one of the things that I challenge our clients 366 00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:22.519 on is, hey, let's do our best to rework and tune up everything 367 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:29.359 that you've already got create as much spacious ness as possible so that and you 368 00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.480 know this happens maybe eight times out of ten, we don't have to expand 369 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.839 the envelope of the house, and the money that you spend all goes towards 370 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.960 that esthetic experience that you're actually looking for in your home. Okay, so 371 00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:45.400 Dane, what are a few things that we can do, just real quick, 372 00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.240 maybe bullet point a couple of things that you can make your home more 373 00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:53.359 spacious. Well, one of the things you do is you evaluate the way 374 00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:57.000 you move and flow through the space. What's in the way do you find 375 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.880 yourself stepping out of the way of things in order to get from point A 376 00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:04.279 to point B. If that's the case, we want to try and rectify 377 00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:08.519 that. Another thing that's so critical, and this is mostly important, the 378 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:12.759 smaller a house gets and that is where do we have our vistas, Where 379 00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:17.480 do we have our windows, Where do we have our openings to the outside 380 00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:22.279 world, Because the more we can see of the outside world, the more 381 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:25.839 spacious the space that we're standing in fields And you know what, you brought 382 00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:30.480 up the story of Wayfarer's Chapel. That is one of my favorite structures in 383 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:34.640 all of southern California. I don't know if you know, but the famous 384 00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:41.119 architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It's his son that designed Wayfarer's Chapel, Lloyd Wright, 385 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:45.640 Frank Junior. And it's been there since the nineteen fifties. And it 386 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:51.319 is a relatively small space. Yeah, it's only one hundred seater exactly. 387 00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:53.119 It sets one hundred people, which makes it just a little larger than our 388 00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:59.319 performance theater on the fifth floor of the station here. And yet all of 389 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:03.680 that glass, all of the view, all of the trees just outside that 390 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:10.119 basically are visually brought inside. No one ever walks into that space and doesn't 391 00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:12.680 feel as if it's spacious. And those are the kinds of tricks that we're 392 00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.599 talking about. Okay, so here's here's another one. Because I have a 393 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.000 relatively small. Okay, it's really small. I have a very small living 394 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:25.640 space, but it does have it has higher ceilings and it's got windows. 395 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:29.240 And then on the but on the backside, it doesn't have windows because it's 396 00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.079 on the side of a hill. So I got this big piece of art 397 00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:38.640 that looks like it's a wide open space and it makes the space feel bigger. 398 00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:44.079 There you go. You also mentioned high ceilings, the higher we can 399 00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:48.039 get a ceiling even in a small room. What we're doing is we're creating 400 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.119 volume. We're not increasing square footage, but we're increasing the volume of the 401 00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:56.640 room, and the room just feels room me or so. Yeah, there 402 00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:59.680 are all of these steps, and there are a one hundred more that we're 403 00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.240 going to be talking about this weekend of things that we can really analyze. 404 00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:06.279 Now, you can't get them all done in every house, but if you 405 00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:10.119 know what the list is, you can apply at least a few of them 406 00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:15.440 to your space and hopefully not have to expand it out and spend your money 407 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.119 inside the envelope that you're already working in. See, I told you we 408 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.920 were going to get spaced out with Dean and you can continue this conversation six 409 00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:27.200 to eight Saturday nine to noon Sunday, It's Home with Dean Sharp right here 410 00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:32.119 on KFI.

I was like, hey, I don't want to talk about 415 00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:52.000 IBS. Yeah, we going to IBS this month. I don't know. 416 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:55.119 Yeh, how's your diet? I'm not sure, but yeah, that's true. 417 00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:56.880 Okay, thank you so much, Dean. Have a wonderful day and 418 00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:01.119 we'll be looking forward to listening to you Saturday and Sunday morning. Thanks Amy. 419 00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:04.359 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 420 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.200 four hour newsroom. Seven hundred and twenty thousand fentanyl pills have been seized from 421 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:12.200 a car near the border in San Diego County. Attorney General Rob Bonta called 422 00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.559 the bus last week massive, saying he's grateful for the work of the special 423 00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:20.319 agents and law enforcement partners who worked together to get these dangerous drugs off the 424 00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:23.079 street. The guy driving the car was arrested. Bonta says the California Department 425 00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:28.200 of Justice will prosecute the case. News brought to you by Semper Solaris. 426 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:30.519 A sixty year old woman has been arrested for a fatal hit and run crash 427 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:35.839 in Canoga Park. Detectives say a silver Toyota Camry and a dark colored Sedan 428 00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:40.039 were speeding on Tipega Canyon Boulevard January thirty first, when the cars collided and 429 00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:43.880 one of them slammed into a light pole. Investigators are trying to figure out 430 00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:47.960 if the crash involved street racing or possibly road rage. And The Pacific Air 431 00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:52.160 Show has plans to build a runway on the sand in Huntington Beach to bring 432 00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:58.359 planes even closer to fans. The Pacific Air Show has become the number one 433 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.960 air show by attendants in the United States. Pacific Air Show director Kevin Elliott 434 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:05.160 says the beach runway will be a world's first for air shows. While the 435 00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:08.039 temporary runway will add a lot of value for ticket holders, it will leave 436 00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:12.759 no impact on the beach or the surrounding environment. Elliott landed on the beach 437 00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:15.880 in one of the planes yesterday to preview this year's lineup. We will have 438 00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:20.799 fan favorites back the US Air Force Thunderbirds, the F twenty two Raptor Demo 439 00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.240 Team, the A ten Demo team.

You're listening to Wake 441 00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:32.880 Up Call on demand from KFI Am six forty. Here's what we're following in 442 00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:37.359 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A storm headed towards southern California could bring 443 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.519 several rounds of heavy rain, even thunderstorms. Forecasters say the brunt of the 444 00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:46.400 storm's gonna hit the area late Sunday through Tuesday, with two to five inches 445 00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:51.319 of rain possible in the valleys and coastal areas, four to eight inches in 446 00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:54.720 the foothills and mountain areas. Ellie County is being given sixty days to fix 447 00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:59.640 or shut down its two largest juvenile halls. The Board of State and Community 448 00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:04.359 Correction made the ruling yesterday. They say conditions at the Los Padrino's facility in 449 00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:07.719 Downy and the Nidor facility in Silmar are still not meeting standards. Hundreds of 450 00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:13.159 minors are held at those juvenile halls. TSA officials trying to figure out how 451 00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:16.960 a woman was able to board a plane in Nashville and get to Los Angeles 452 00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:22.159 without an ID or a ticket. Authority say she was spotted going through security, 453 00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:24.599 but apparently wasn't asked for an ID or a boarding pass at either security 454 00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:28.960 or the American Airlines gate. We're just minutes away from Handle. On the 455 00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:34.000 news this morning, should pedophiles be surgically or chemically castrated? There's a move 456 00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:37.239 to make it happen. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's entertainment 457 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:43.760 guru, our friend Jason Nathanson. Jason Madam Webb is out. It's the 458 00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:49.800 latest superhero movie to get horrible reviews. Uh yeah, and this one getting 459 00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:53.199 more bad reviews than any I think I've ever seen in history. Right now, 460 00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:59.320 it's thirteen percent on Rotten Tomatoes with the critic reviews fifty four percent from 461 00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:02.639 the audience, which is that's a real terrible score. Because usually even if 462 00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:07.559 the critics savage something, there are enough people who go like it and they 463 00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:12.079 see it and they enough that they like it. But this is this is 464 00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.800 pretty bad. And I can tell you that when I saw it, I 465 00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.119 came out of it going, was that as bad as I thought it was? 466 00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:21.760 And then I started to see, you know, there's an embargo on 467 00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:23.519 the review, so I didn't see reviews for another week or so, and 468 00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:28.199 the reviews were as bad as I thought it was. So we're all in 469 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.239 agreement. This movie is pretty terrible. Okay, but tell us what because 470 00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:34.519 I saw a preview for it, and I was like, what is this? 471 00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:37.639 Is she Spider Man but Spider Girl? Who what she is? Not? 472 00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:39.440 No, so this is a completely different character. This is this is 473 00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:44.159 just a different character. It's in the Spider Man universe. Okay, this 474 00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:49.800 is a Sony Marvel Spider So like think Morbius in some of those other spin 475 00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.880 offs that we've seen that don't have Spider Man in them, and Spider Man 476 00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:57.440 is not in this one. But it is very clear that this does take 477 00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:00.239 place in the same universe in which Spider Man exists. But does she get 478 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.360 bit by a radioactive spider? She does not get bit by a radioactor. 479 00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:06.719 I mean, you know, some things, I can't give away everything. 480 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:08.039 You know, you got to go see it. There's got to be some 481 00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:12.800 mystery to it, all, right. But Dakota Johnson stars as Cassandra Webb, 482 00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.880 who is a paramedic in Manhattan who develops the power to see the future, 483 00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:21.119 and she realizes she can use that power to then change the future. 484 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:24.599 She ends up teaming up with three teens, including one played by Sidney Sweeney. 485 00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:30.360 And you know, Dakota Johnson is fine here. She's not the issue. 486 00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:32.559 Sidney Sweeney is fine, and the acting for the most part, is 487 00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:39.199 fine. There's a villain here, though, perhaps the one of the worst 488 00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:44.159 ever put on film, just in terms of his motivations are completely unclear. 489 00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:49.000 The dialogue is so bad, there's so much exposition, and then they still 490 00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:53.519 don't explain the things that need to be explained properly. The action scenes are 491 00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:57.760 pretty terrible, and you know, if you're going for something like this, 492 00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:00.400 at least the action should be, you know, on a somewhat decent level. 493 00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.519 Are you talking about the Marvels now? Because that's how I felt about 494 00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:07.599 the Marvels. No, I like the Marvels. See, I didn't like 495 00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:09.079 it at all. I had no problem with the Marvels. The Marvels. 496 00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:14.840 The Marvels was fine, and any issues with that I think has to do 497 00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:20.920 more with superhero fatigue and the universes and having to know too much about this 498 00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:24.920 series and that series and this movie and combining here. You don't have to 499 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:29.760 know anything going in about any of it because there's no connection here for this 500 00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:32.639 movie to any of the other movies that you might have seen or are going 501 00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:37.440 to see. And they clearly set this up for hopefully they wanted this to 502 00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:42.639 be a franchise. From what we've seen so far of the numbers, this 503 00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:46.119 is not going to get a sequel, and nobody should green light this. 504 00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:51.840 But the real crazy thing here to me is the fact that this had to 505 00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:57.159 go through so many levels of bureaucracy to get made. This is a major 506 00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:00.679 studio film from Sony, so that means exactly katives were involved in the scripts, 507 00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:06.119 in the dailies. So many people had eyes on this before it got 508 00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:08.559 to the screen, and so for something to get to the screen, which 509 00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:13.280 is this kind of poorly made is pretty shocking in this day and age. 510 00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:15.920 Yeah, I feel that way about several things. You think about, like 511 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:19.239 you just said, all the eyes that have to go, all the gates 512 00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.679 that it has to you know that it has to go through. That is 513 00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:25.440 somebody at some point has to go. We need to either change this or 514 00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:30.519 not do it, you know, because there's so many talented people out there, 515 00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:32.920 right And you know, I've felt this way now about a couple movies 516 00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:37.280 the past couple of weeks. Argyle was one of them, Lisa Frankenstein last 517 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:42.960 week, which I give a little bit of a more grace to, even 518 00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:47.119 though it ultimately didn't work for me. You had people trying things out for 519 00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:52.760 the first time, and sometimes that just doesn't work. This is a studio 520 00:38:52.920 --> 00:39:00.079 superhero movie. They should know the formula by now, and unfortunately they it 521 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:05.559 just does not work. Okay, let's shift over to streaming. I just 522 00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:10.280 recently started watching Life and Death, which is the show about Amy Schumer on 523 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:15.519 Hulu, and great news for me because I just found out season two is 524 00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:19.119 dropping. Yes, Season two is all out today. So if you like 525 00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:21.920 that, you can go you can go watch that. I mean, there's 526 00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:24.239 not a whole lot to say about it. You know, it's not I 527 00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:28.480 don't know that it's a show that needs a whole lot of explanation. It's 528 00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:31.760 loosely based on her life. It's comedy, it's drama, it's kind of 529 00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:36.559 all the things. It's kind of a slow moving just kind of hang out 530 00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:38.199 and watch it. But it's really interesting. And do you think I think 531 00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:44.039 Amy Schumer does a really good job not being funny. Yeah, she does. 532 00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:49.119 And she does a very good job of being self effacing and really putting 533 00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:54.440 a lot of her life out there and not shying away from the messy parts, 534 00:39:54.960 --> 00:40:00.760 which continues in season two. Okay, and then shoot, we're running 535 00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:02.400 out of time. I hate when this happens. Jason. The new look 536 00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:06.480 on Apple TV Plus, is it worth a look? Yeah? I love 537 00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:08.880 the new Look on Apple TV Plus. This is a great series. This 538 00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:14.599 is It's a World War two story told, but a story that you don't 539 00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:16.639 know a lot of the times we know the beats of these these shows. 540 00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:22.920 This is the story of Christian Dior, the fashion designer, and Coco Chanel 541 00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:28.639 during World War Two in Paris, during Nazi occupied Paris. The true story, 542 00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:34.039 Yes, okay, what they had to go through, the allegiances that 543 00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:37.320 they had to, the sides they had to pick it. You know, 544 00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:44.000 we've seen so many World War two things to get something new is pretty rare, 545 00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:47.360 and this is so well done and the cast is fantastic. Ben Mendelton, 546 00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:52.800 Juliette Binoche, Mayzie Williams, John Malkovich, Emily Mortimer, Glenn Close 547 00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:55.800 in a guest role. You know, I thought, like fashion and World 548 00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:59.880 War two? Is that going to work? And it does beautifully? And 549 00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:02.280 is z Apple doing what they normally do? Dropping two and then you have 550 00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:07.800 to wait? Wee can three loads out now and then one new one weekly? 551 00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:09.519 I know what I'm doing this weekend.
