WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.280 You're listening to kf I AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King 2 00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:12.439 on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. It's time for your morning wake up call. 3 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:26.000 Here's Amy Kig. Good morning. This is your wake up call for 4 00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:32.719 Friday, August twenty five. I'm Amy King. We're there. We're almost 5 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:37.359 to the weekend. I used to like not say that because I worked on 6 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:41.320 Saturdays. So now that I actually have Saturdays off, I get really excited 7 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.079 on Fridays. Hopefully you are too. Okay, I got my coffee. 8 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.719 We're ready, let's go. Here's what's ahead on the wake up call. 9 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:55.399 Thousands of Kaiser workers across the US will vote tomorrow on whether to authorize a 10 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.960 strike. Among other things, workers say they're understaffed and it's creating a pay 11 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.959 crisis. Former President Trump's back in New Jersey after flying to Georgia and being 12 00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:07.959 booked at the Fulton County Jail on racketeering and other charges for an alleged attempt 13 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.400 to overturn the twenty twenty election results. In Georgia, a man's been arrested 14 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:18.040 for leaving what he said was an exploding toilet outside the Americana at Brand in 15 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.560 Glendale turned out to be a duck. Let's get started with some of the 16 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.560 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Former President Trump, 17 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.120 as I just mentioned, has been arrested in Georgia for allegedly conspiring with eighteen 18 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:36.239 others to overturn the state's twenty twenty election results. His former attorney, Tim 19 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:41.959 Parlatore says he doesn't think a mug shot was necessary and feels Fulton County did 20 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.840 it for optics. The way that they're doing it down in Fulton County is 21 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.640 very different from how they did in New York, and they're very different from 22 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.719 how the Feds did it. Georgia is the fourth criminal case against Trump this 23 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.040 year. Fulton County jail officials say he went through the fingerprinting and mug shut 24 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.959 process yesterday before he was released on two hundred thousand dollars bond. Another store 25 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.920 in Sherman Oaks has been hit by flash mob robbers. LAPD says at least 26 00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:13.639 nine people in masks ransacked the Macy's at Westfield Fashion Square yesterday before they took 27 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.719 off in two cars. Police say one was a Honda Accord with a license 28 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:22.120 plate number ending in eight O nine. The other was a black Ford Fusion 29 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.479 with a license plate ending in six to seven. Police say the Smash and 30 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:30.479 grabbers were last seen heading toward the one oh one. THEOC Sheriff says the 31 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.080 man who shot nine people at a biker bar, killing three, first shot 32 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.960 his wife and her friend, then started shooting at random well. This happened 33 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.360 within one hundred and twenty seconds. Sheriff Don Barnes says the retired bent to 34 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.360 a police argeant whose wife was divorcing him, then walked outside Cook's Corner in 35 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.280 tribuke O Canyon. When he retreated to his truck, he gained access to 36 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.280 the third either pistol or revolver, and then access the shotgun. That's at 37 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.400 that point the Depty's responded in two minutes. Investigators say deputies Wednesday fired at 38 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.800 least seventy five rounds. Seven deputies fired upon him or countered him while he 39 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.719 was returning firing upon our deputies. The shooter was killed. His wife is 40 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.960 expected to survive at OC Sheriff Headquarters, Corbin Carson. KFI news leaders in 41 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.319 Pasadena say the city has been a hot spot for new business. The city 42 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:22.719 credits its success with handling local homelessness and investing in security around shopping areas. 43 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.360 The cities at Lisa Dredarian says other cities have been reaching out for advice. 44 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:34.199 We get calls to our Economic Development department almost on a daily basis asking how 45 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.039 they can mimic what we already have in place or borrowing some of our resources. 46 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.000 Retail space occupants say in the city was up nearly six percent in the 47 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.360 latest quarter. At least ten new businesses are opening in Pasadena in the next 48 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.080 few months. Health officials in La are warning people to take precautions as COVID 49 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.039 nineteen cases continue to rise. About three hundred thirty people have been admitted to 50 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.960 the hospital with COVID. Reports show a steady increase so at the past six 51 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.800 weeks. This week, officials reported eighty eight active outbreaks, fourteen of them 52 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:08.639 at workplaces. They say another triple demic could be possible, referring to COVID, 53 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:13.080 the flu and RSV. CDC officials expect to roll out a new COVID 54 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.439 vaccine sometime next month or early October. We're gonna be talking with ABC's Karen 55 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:21.439 Travers more about this coming up at five twenty mark Your calendars. September eighth 56 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.040 is Star Trek Day, in honor of the fifty seventh anniversary of the first 57 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.680 broadcast of Star Treks. CBS will are the first two episodes of the Paramount 58 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.079 Plus series Star Trek Strange New Worlds in primetime. September eighth, Jerry O'Connell, 59 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.399 who plays Commander Jack Ransom in the animated Star Trek Lower Decks, will 60 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:41.000 host a special that looks back at memorable moments in the Star Trek universe over 61 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.879 the years. All lifeforms can watch that for free at Paramount's YouTube, Twitch 62 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.360 at Facebook pages, as well as Star Trek dot com slash Day, which 63 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:54.079 seems logical Mark ronner Kfi News. Let's now say good morning to ABC's legal 64 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.600 analyst, Royal Oaks. Royal, former President Trump has been processed at the 65 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.279 Fulton County Jail and Georgia. How did it go, Wrail? It went 66 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.600 pretty much as expected. The process of booking was different, of course than 67 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.560 the other indictments other cases, in the sense that there was a mug shot 68 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.759 the president the former president looking very stern, but other than that, no 69 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:20.680 real excitement there. Next up, of course, is the arraignment, and 70 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:27.480 that's where the process is that there's a formal charging of the defendants, setting 71 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.959 bail if it hasn't already been negotiated, which it has been in mister Trump's 72 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.360 case, and then of course the inevitable not guilty plea will be entered at 73 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:41.319 the arraignment the district attorney again once that the week of September five, does 74 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:45.959 he have to be there for that? You know, President Trump avoided having 75 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:51.120 to wait in jail before peering in court by negotiating a bail agreement in advance, 76 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:56.879 so he didn't have to go through that indignity. And it's possible he'll 77 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.560 waive his right to appear at an aarignment at an argy, but he has 78 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.600 the legal right to do that. So the real drama is is he going 79 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.079 to say to himself, every time I appear and my photograph taken, of 80 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:11.759 course it boosts my fundraising. On the other hand, probably he will skip 81 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.360 it because who wants to have to appear in court and have the judge say 82 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.399 all the bad allegations about you by the prosecution. So I wouldn't bet on 83 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:24.959 him appearing during that Labor Day week event. Okay, So let's talk about 84 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:28.800 that mug shot, because in his other indictments he didn't get the mug shot 85 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.560 taken. Why is that something that Georgia requires or was it something that the 86 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.319 DA said I want? Yeah, both. Actually the law says you've got 87 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.399 to have a mug shot, and the district attorney he certainly wanted at The 88 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:45.279 interesting thing is that Donald Trump was really given special privileges in the other cases 89 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.079 in the sense that the normal process would have required a mug shot. And 90 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.480 we heard comments along the lines of, well, yeah, how many more 91 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:55.279 pictures that Donald Trump do you really need? But the fact is that it 92 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.079 was just an acknowledgement, sort of a tip of the hat to the fact 93 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.879 that yes, this is not your criminal defendant. We don't need to go 94 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:05.959 through all of the same hoops and procedures. And some people criticize the DA 95 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:10.240 up in New York City alfand Bragg on the Stormy Daniels case and the other 96 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:15.839 matters. But that was just a choice, a discretionary choice by those prosecutors. 97 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.199 Fanny Willis's attitude is helped We're doing this one by the book. Well, 98 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:23.079 it isn't the purpose of a mug shot one to have a record of 99 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.879 who it is, but because you want to know who the person is. 100 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.639 I mean, everybody knows who Donald Trump is, so is it necessary exactly 101 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.839 exactly, You're right, And that was the common sense approach by the other 102 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:38.839 prosecutors in the other three cases, putting up with some inevitable criticism by some 103 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.720 people about you. Nobody's above the law, and who cares. If he's 104 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.000 president, Let's treat him exactly the same. Those prosecutors thought, as you 105 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.399 say, we don't really need any first security purposes. For example, another 106 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:53.600 picture of Donald Trump. If you have a run of the mill criminal defendant, 107 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:59.399 sometimes you just want as a record a good accurate view of the person. 108 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.040 And of course we have all seen on television where the guy tries to 109 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.439 have a goofy smile or something and the stern photographers, no, you can't 110 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.680 smile. So none of that in this situation, of course. But if 111 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.040 you look at the pictures, and for example or Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump, 112 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.360 it sure looks like it was sort of staged for some sort of campaign 113 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.120 poster, because they didn't look haggard. It wasn't some sort of nick nulty, 114 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.040 you know, torn T shirt kind of ridiculous shot. These guys looked 115 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.720 like they were on a billboard somebody who's looking very stern and saying, you 116 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.200 know what, ladies and gentlemen, they've just weaponized the criminal justice system. 117 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.799 You know what else I thought was interesting about the mug shots is I was 118 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.960 expecting, you know, those the little stripes behind you or the lines, 119 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.440 and it's not. It's a different background. It doesn't even look like a 120 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.000 mug shot or traditional one. Yeah, from a criminal justice a defendant standpoint, 121 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.600 you don't really like stripes, you know, whether they're vertical or horizontal. 122 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.399 But you're right, it was striking when you first looked at the mug 123 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.960 shot. You also see the little insignia for the share deparved with the district 124 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.799 attorney. It's almost like it's some sort of endorsement. That was kind of 125 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.679 odd. That's not something you see in the typical mug shot. But of 126 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:13.480 course, these folks knew that this shot would be circling around the globe instantly, 127 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.240 many times, and will be in the history books in perpetuity. I 128 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.200 guess they wanted to put their best foot forward. Oh yeah, Trump's already 129 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.840 tweeted it, and there are t shirts city selling for forty seven bucks. 130 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.399 You know, basically, everything's fair game when it comes to T shirts in 131 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.679 these campaigns. It was pretty creative. Folks thought that the former Vice president 132 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.159 Mike Pence telling the march she's got to T shirts. That says too honest, 133 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.879 because of course that's allegedly what Donald Trump said to Mike Pence when Pence 134 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:45.559 refused because he said, there's no basis for me to send the electoral votes 135 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.399 back to the States, and Donald Trump said, you're too honest. So 136 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.639 have all nineteen people now turned themselves in? Are we still waiting on some 137 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.039 that's a good question. There's so many you need a scorecard, and I've 138 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.200 not seen as a cardcard with all the boxes jack, But I think we're 139 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.639 pretty close. Yeah. I think people, maybe lawyers like to procrastinate on 140 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.279 things. But I would think that the criminal defendants who are paying their bills 141 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.879 would say, let's let's get this thing out of the way, because they 142 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.279 knew that the last day there'd be a lot of focus on it and people 143 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:20.519 would just as soon stay out of out of the public eye. Defies the 144 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.679 idea that there's no such thing as bad publicity. Turns out there is yeah, 145 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:30.559 and Mark Meadows is trying to fight that. But he agreed on bail 146 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.879 yesterday, like one hundred thousand dollars bail, and then so he has already 147 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:37.919 turned himself in. Yeah, I think so. And the deal about Mark 148 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.600 Meadows, of course, is he's leading the charge to get out of Dodge, 149 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.360 that is, get out of state court. Because you know, we 150 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.480 have two parallel, two part parallel court system. The federal courts are a 151 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.399 totally different system with different judges, different laws, different buildings, and they're 152 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.000 in state court now. Now, the inside baseball angle is if you if 153 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.000 you were a federal employee and you are alleged to have done something bad criminal 154 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.360 while you were a federal employee, if you can demonstrate that it has some 155 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:11.200 relationship to you carrying out your duties, that it wasn't totally irrelevant to the 156 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:15.000 presidency, then you have a right to move your case over to federal court 157 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.799 with maybe that friendlier jury pool because it's many more counties than just Fulton County 158 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.480 and different judges and saw it. And so Meadows is the guy that filed 159 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.279 the first motion, and that's still up in the air. Now. You 160 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.360 remember Donald Trump tried to get out of state court up in the New York 161 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.559 City of Stormy Daniels case, and he what federal court said, I'm here, 162 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.960 your honor, I belong here, And the federal judge said, nice, 163 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.279 dry the business of ut paying off Stormy Daniels. That had nothing to 164 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.879 do with you, you know, your presidency, And so back you go 165 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.720 to state court. We don't know what the outcome is going to be of 166 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:54.320 the many potential federal move motions removal motions. In the next few weeks, 167 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.960 we're going to be getting some decisions. But right now it's possible that Meadows 168 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.960 and others will end up in federal court. But for now they have to 169 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.080 go through the process of the booking and the arrangement. Okay, And the 170 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.120 goal of the DA was to have all nineteen of them tried at the same 171 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.279 time. But it sounds like that's splintering. You know. When this willis 172 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:18.799 said that several days ago, everybody who's followed you, some of these high 173 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.159 profile cass said no, not going to do it. Wouldn't be prudent. 174 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.440 You cannot get nineteen people in a single game for one thing. You have 175 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.240 to read out the stadium or the braves play. You just don't have gigantic 176 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.960 courtrooms, and it takes forever. It's like tap dancing in molasses to move 177 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.159 toward a trial with nineteen people, and each of them is going to have 178 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.399 two or three lawyers, and each of the lawyers has fancy schedules, and 179 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.080 they've got the motions, and they're going up and down the appellate ladder when 180 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:52.000 their motions get denied. So the bottom line is that this thing is there's 181 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.879 no way it could have happened that way. And I think what's going to 182 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:56.960 happen now is that the DA is going to start flipping people, sort of 183 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.080 culling the herd. Probably at the end of the day, she wants the 184 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.720 last man standing to be Donald Trump, because if Donald Trump were in a 185 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:09.039 trial where there are other criminal defendants, there's a chance the jury would say, 186 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.519 you know what, I think it's Rudy and Sydney and John Eastman. 187 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.720 She'd go to prison, but not the former president. That would not be 188 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.919 a happy day for the Atlanta District Attorney. Okay, Royal Oakes, thank 189 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.000 you so much for your time and your insight this morning, your bet. 190 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.600 Thanks. Eleven people have been arrested in connection with flash Mom robberies at Beverly 191 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.679 Center, the WUSS in Highland Park, the Nords Germ at to Pangamal, 192 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.159 and the Eve Saint Laurent store at the Americana at Brand Two. More insurance 193 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:41.240 companies say they will no longer offer homeowners policies in California because of skyro kenning 194 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:45.039 costs from so many big wildfires in the state. It's due or die for 195 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:50.039 the El Segundo All Stars. They beat Washington State yesterday and have earned a 196 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.000 spot in the US Championship game against Texas tomorrow at six o five. It's 197 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.519 handled on the news, the DJ has sued SpaceX. Bill's going to tell 198 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.360 you why. Right now. Let's say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. 199 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.399 Karen, there's a new variant of COVID nineteen seems to be taking holds. 200 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.080 Some health officials are standing in the alarm. So what's the real risk of 201 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.600 this new variant is yeah, yeah, So you know, the CBC is 202 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.000 looking at this new variant, but say it's too early to tell if it's 203 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.960 more transmissible or if it causes more serious illnesses. But the big news is 204 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.559 that US Health officials say that the new updated COVID shot should be released in 205 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:31.120 mid September, so that's good news for people who are waiting to get their 206 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.360 annual shot. The most precise prediction yet on framing for the rollout. CBC 207 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:41.919 and FDA officials brief reporters on this this week, and vaccine manufacturers have told 208 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:46.679 ABC that the updated booster has showed significant boost in anybodies against some of these 209 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:52.039 currently circulating variants. But the big question, probably what you're thinking, is 210 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.720 how many of you are going to actually get it. When you look at 211 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.159 the data from last year with the booster shots that were rolled out, only 212 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:05.159 fifty six in Americans, seventeen percent of the population have an updated booster according 213 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.000 to the CDC, and compare that to roughly eighty one percent of Americans who 214 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.960 got their primary doses, So there was a big drop off of people who 215 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.000 then got the updated one, which the White House, federal government officials, 216 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.720 health officials experts were saying last year was really good at protecting against the variants 217 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.960 that were going around last fall. So they've got a big task this coming 218 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.639 fall in the next couple of weeks to try and get people out, get 219 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.200 this shot, and they say that vaccination is still going to be very key 220 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:41.039 because immunity wanes and the virus continues to change, and the vaccine is it 221 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.759 preventing spread of COVID or is it preventing serious complications from COVID like the current 222 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.279 vaccines have been doing. You know, experts will still say it prevents and 223 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.799 remains the best protection against hospitalization and death. And in the case of these 224 00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.840 vaccines, it also helps reduce the likelihood of long COVID we've seen over the 225 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.879 last couple of years. They're also recommending you get this at the same time 226 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.080 as your flu shot, and to really think of this in a different mindset. 227 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.279 You know, you had the primary doses that everybody went out and got, 228 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.559 like I said, eighty one percent of Americans, but that slower upcake 229 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.080 for the booster shots. There was a sense of the White House I asked 230 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.759 a lot of questions about this last year when they were trying to get people 231 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.000 to get it. They really thought that they had to work to get people 232 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.200 to change the mindset around COVID shots and to think of them more like slu 233 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.879 shots, that you get them every year, you get them with your flu 234 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.080 shot. If you want just to make it easier and make it a part 235 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.639 of your annual routine. They're going to roll out these new shots in the 236 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:44.320 fall each year to target what the variants are at this moment, and the 237 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:48.919 protection will last then until the next ones come out. Okay, ABC's Karen 238 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.039 Travis, thanks so much for the time. We'll be watching for those boosters 239 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.559 to show up at pharmacies near you. Let's get back to some of the 240 00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.279 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. One of the nation's 241 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:06.279 largest employers has inched closer to a strike. Kaiser's union says workers face chronic 242 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.079 understaffing and unfair labor practices. This respiratory nurses. The situation forces nurses to 243 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.759 make heartbreaking decisions. Do I check on that ED patient that is suffering from 244 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:19.440 an asthma attack, or do I go to the person that is an ICU 245 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:25.000 or do I go to nick you with that micropeamy baby that the mother just 246 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.359 delivered A vote authorized potential strike will start this Saturday. It could run for 247 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:33.119 a couple of weeks. News brought to you by American Vision Windows. The 248 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.839 LAPD says a fourteen year old boy's been arrested in connection with at least two 249 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.400 murders in East LA, and Lieutenant Ryan Rabbit says the boy may be tied 250 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.640 to four other past murders, and we're going back about six weeks prior from 251 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.559 now. Rabbit says. On August twelve, the boy shot a sixteen year 252 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:51.640 old who was playing basketball at rec center at Evergreen Park. Chief Moore says 253 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.839 the murders are related to an ongoing gang rivalry. The Homobeck increases twenty eight 254 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.880 homicides this year to date verse nineteen last year. Moore says, overall murders 255 00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:03.079 are down in the city. In East LA. Steve Gregory King, if 256 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:04.799 I knew, I mean from Burbank, has been arrested for allegedly putting a 257 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.960 toilet outside a movie theater and claiming it had a bomb in it. The 258 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:15.680 Americana at Brand in Glendale was evacuated last night while the bomb squad checked things 259 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.039 out. The area was declared safe a couple hours later. Russia has rejected 260 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:25.039 allegations that Kremlin was behind a plane crash presumed to have killed Mercenary leader Yevgeny 261 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:30.079 Progoshan. He was listed among those aboard the plane Wednesday when it literally fell 262 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.720 out of the sky near Moscow. A US intelligence assessment concluded the plane was 263 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:40.759 downed by an intentional explosion. Former President Trump has tweeted for the first time 264 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:42.680 since he was kicked off Twitter in twenty twenty one. He posted his mug 265 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:47.960 shot on x with a link to his campaign website. Trump's campaign is now 266 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:52.960 selling t shirts with Trump's mug shot for forty seven dollars with the words never 267 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:57.960 Surrender underneath. Trump was booked in Georgia yesterday for his alleged efforts to overturn 268 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:03.920 twenty twenty. He was released on two hundred thousand dollars bond. Here's something 269 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.079 kind of fun coming up this weekend. If you've been thinking you want to 270 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.200 go to the movie, but you really don't want to spend all that money 271 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:17.160 to go to the movie. National Cinema Day is on Sunday. Theaters are 272 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:22.079 going to be offering four dollar movie tickets. Last year, it ended up 273 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.119 being the highest attended day of the year for theaters, and lots of them 274 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.279 are participating. More than three thousand theaters will take part, including AMC and 275 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:36.400 Regal. Again, It's Sunday, four dollars tickets for National Cinema Day. 276 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:41.480 Thousands of Kaiser workers across the US will vote starting tomorrow on whether to authorize 277 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.240 a strike. Among other things, workers say they are understaffed and it's creating 278 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.400 a patient crisis. Former President Trump's back in New Jersey after flying down to 279 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.720 Georgia and being booked at the Fulton County Jail on racketeering and other charges for 280 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.640 an alleged attempt to overturn the twenty twenty election results. In Georgia, a 281 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.880 man it's been arrested for leaving what he said wasn't explo toilet outside the Americana 282 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.599 at Brand in Glendale. It turned out to be a due. At six 283 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:07.160 oh five, it's handled on the news. The Supreme Court's taking up the 284 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.880 idea of right to camp in the face of the homeless crisis. At five 285 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.599 fifty, we're gonna be talking with ABC's Chase and Nathanson about what's new in 286 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:21.000 theaters and what's streaming and how you can see a movie really cheap on Sunday. 287 00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:22.759 But right now, let's say good morning to the host of Home with 288 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:29.920 Dean Sharp on CAFI, the House Whisperer Dean Sharp, Good morning, Amy 289 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.640 good morning, So Dean Walls, Spence's hedges. What do these three things 290 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:41.960 have in common? They define boundaries. Boundaries are good. Boundaries are good. 291 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:48.839 They shape spaces, They contour our yards if we use them creatively in 292 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.799 all three dimensions, which is really important when you're doing a you know, 293 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.319 when you're trying to create dramatic effects in a yard or garden area. And 294 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:02.839 I say three dimensions because so often, so many people think about their yards 295 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:04.839 just in terms of left, right, forwards and backwards. There it is 296 00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:10.440 kind of this flat space. But walls and fences and hedges, they rise 297 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.720 up out of the ground. They create that element of a third dimension to 298 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:19.799 our yard and really essentially other than just property line. When when I when 299 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:25.839 I bring up this topic, people all always just jump to, oh, 300 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:27.799 you know, the wall in between me and my neighbor, and that's super 301 00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:32.720 important. We're gonna be talking about that this weekend as well. But they 302 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:37.359 can be so much more than just that. I'm asked all the time, 303 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.119 what is landscape design? Essentially? How do you do it? And I 304 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.160 say, you do it just like you do interior design in a house. 305 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:49.680 Great space outside the back of your house is composed of the same things. 306 00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:56.319 There are destinations, there are you know, in quotes, rooms, hallways, 307 00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.000 ceilings, boundaries. It's just that we don't make them out of the 308 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.319 same materials. We don't make them out of two by fours and drywall. 309 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:10.960 We make hallways out of pathways of stone and walls and fences, hedges. 310 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:18.200 They create some of those walls and determiner boundaries to create some really romantic, 311 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.359 beautiful spaces in our yard. So it's sort of like, like I always 312 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:27.400 am of the opinion that you keep the furniture off the walls inside, like 313 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:30.880 I put my couch is kind of in the center of the room, and 314 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:36.839 it creates a space. And I have that same thing not at my place 315 00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:40.759 here, but I have a house up in Portland where on the back patio 316 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:44.920 you have the fence around the exterior, but then I have some hedges that 317 00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:49.119 are more around the patio, and it creates that space in the backyard and 318 00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:53.279 just sort of separates it and makes it a little more intimate. Absolutely, 319 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:57.960 And that's something that gets overlooked by so many folks, is that you know, 320 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:04.160 you don't need to utterly separate a space with some hardline boundary where you 321 00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.920 know, you can't see from one place to the other, that's not what 322 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.880 separates a space. What separates a space in most of our minds is any 323 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:17.359 kind of a line that rises up out of the ground. It literally is 324 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:22.640 the difference between here and over there. If you take that away, you 325 00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.000 take like one of your short hedges away, then you're basically sitting in the 326 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.480 exact same space as what's on the was on the other side of that hedge. 327 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.119 It's all one space, right. But if we put that little defining 328 00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:37.759 hedgerow in there, now, even though you can still see that other space, 329 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:42.720 it's suddenly over there. You're here and it is over there. So 330 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:48.519 what we're doing is we're actually creating a greater expansiveness in the yard psychologically. 331 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:55.200 And that's what architecture is essentially at the end, it's all about how we 332 00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:59.279 feel about a space. Okay, and then but let's go to the perimeter 333 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.119 for a second. Talk about fences, because as you mentioned, good fences 334 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:08.000 make good neighbors. And what's important when you start thinking about what you're going 335 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:12.960 to do with your fence. Okay, so you know, good fences make 336 00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:18.000 good neighbors. That was Robert Frost from the Mending Wall his really famous poem. 337 00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.799 But the most important thing about getting your fence right on the edge of 338 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.920 your property is being a good neighbor. Because if anything, if there's anything 339 00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:33.720 about your property that you cannot trust to be accurate, it is that your 340 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:38.119 fence between you and your neighbor is actually sitting on your property line. And 341 00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:45.160 there are so many disputes and unnecessary squabbles that occur as a result of somebody 342 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.960 wanting to repair the fence, replace the fence, build a new wall. 343 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:56.319 What we really, really really need to do is don't assume that the developer 344 00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.880 put the fence right on the property line where it's either straddled. You may 345 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:06.119 own the fence completely yourself. It may be completely on your neighbor's side, 346 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:08.880 or it may be nowhere near the property line, or it could be sitting 347 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.599 dead center. So it's always a good idea to figure out exactly where the 348 00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:18.000 property line is and then have a conversation with your neighbor about, Hey, 349 00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:21.440 this is what we were hoping to do. You know this thing in between 350 00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.160 us here, it's starting to fall down. How do we do this so 351 00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:30.839 that you're happy and so on? That's step one okay, So if it's 352 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.200 right on the property line, say it, just assume that it is. 353 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:40.279 For a second, are both parties responsible to pay for it? And conversely, 354 00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:45.200 if it's on my property, am I responsible for all of it? 355 00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.920 Or should the neighbors still split the cost? Yeah? Well, see that's 356 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:53.920 the thing. It's the difference between the real world and the should's okay, 357 00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:59.519 Because here's the thing. Let's say you and I are neighbors, and let's 358 00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:03.720 say we discovered that the fence is sitting right on the property line, so 359 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.079 half of it's on my property, half of it's on yours, and you 360 00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.759 are just so tired of this broken down fence. It is such a need 361 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.599 of repair, and so you come to me and say, well, you 362 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.640 know, it's half your fence and half mine, and I'm starting to take 363 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.359 bids to get it fixed up, and I'm wondering if we could split the 364 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.440 cost, and I'm like, yeah, it's just really not in my budget 365 00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:26.640 right now, Amy, you know, so you know, like, am 366 00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:32.599 I responsible for half the cost? Maybe? Are you gonna be able to 367 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.200 make me pay for half of that fence? No, No, you really 368 00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:41.559 aren't. And so that's where the reality of figuring out what are we gonna 369 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.279 do. So maybe the fence comes down and if you're gonna front the whole 370 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:49.200 cost, you just put it all on your property and assume control of it 371 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:52.839 from that point forward. Okay, then real quick, in La, a 372 00:26:52.839 --> 00:27:00.079 lot of people have masonry instead of like a wood fence they've got Yeah, 373 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:06.720 what what is the benefit of that of a masonry you know? I masonry 374 00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:14.359 walls are they they promise this sense of privacy. They really in the end 375 00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.160 end up becoming for a lot of people more of a hassle than there are 376 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.880 worth. But yeah, it's it's a wall that true. It doesn't you 377 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.960 don't have to worry about termites or it breaking down or drawing out in the 378 00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:33.720 sun. But masonry walls, they aren't usually very attractive. There's usually two 379 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:38.519 types. There's either just straight what we call uh cinder block walls, which 380 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:44.440 is just the flat gray concrete, or these walls that have texture to them, 381 00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:49.039 we call them slump stone walls. Either way, keeping your side of 382 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:55.119 the wall up is about making sure that too much moisture isn't getting into it, 383 00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.440 and then you know, keeping it painted. Okay, So here's a 384 00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:00.640 quick question then, because we're talking about. You just mentioned cinder block walls, 385 00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:04.079 and then of course I immediately think earthquakes. In our conversation from last 386 00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:08.039 week, we were talking about do you which of the three little pigs do 387 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:11.440 you use? And you said build your house with sticks? So are does 388 00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.160 it matter when it comes to a wall or for earthquake stuff? Is it 389 00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.599 better to have a wood fence. Honestly, it is better to have a 390 00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:23.559 wood fence than a cinder block wall because those walls are not retaining walls, 391 00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.440 okay, And that's another point of confusion that will explain. In other words, 392 00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:33.000 inside those bricks, it's just hollow. It's hollow in there. There's 393 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.519 no concrete or rebar up above the ground level if it's not holding back soil, 394 00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.440 So that is a hollow wall. And no, it doesn't have any 395 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.200 flex to it, like we were talking about last week. It doesn't have 396 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:51.079 any flexibility to it. So if the earth starts moving in just the right 397 00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:56.359 direction, it'll crumble, it'll crack, it'll fall over. Whereas a wood 398 00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.400 fence. For all of the reasons that people are like, no, I 399 00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.279 don't want them maintenance, the fact is a wood fence can take all of 400 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:06.359 that and more when the ground starts moving, okay, and we're gonna be 401 00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:10.799 You're gonna be talking more about walls, fences and hedges nine to noon on 402 00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:15.279 Sunday, and then on Saturday six to eight am you can join Dean. 403 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.559 He's going to be telling you about the secret life of wood. Speaking since 404 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.039 we were just talking about wood. Now before I let you go, since 405 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:32.119 you're all about the home, I have a special song board. It's about 406 00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:36.880 porches still, and it is about porches because I know you love them, 407 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:44.200 but I do. Tomorrow is international Play Music on the Porch day. Oh, 408 00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:47.680 the last Saturday, no idea, I know, right, So and 409 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.880 so it's a day if you have a porch and you have a guitar, 410 00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:55.920 take it on out there, play some music on the front porch. I 411 00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:57.880 love that my son is a musician. I am not. My son's a 412 00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.559 musician. So I think we'll just have them over. We'll sit on the 413 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.319 front porch. We'll play a little music for the neighbors. Sounds great. 414 00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:07.640 Thanks so much, Dean. We'll catch you this weekend on Home with Dean 415 00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:11.960 Sharp. Thanks Amy. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour 416 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:15.759 News room. Eleven people have been arrested in connection with flash mob robberies at 417 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:19.039 Beverly Center, the WUSS in Highland Park, the nordstroom at To Pangamal, 418 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:22.839 and the Eve Saint Laurent store at the Americana at Brand. Two more insurance 419 00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:27.440 companies say they're not going to offer homeowners policies in California because of skyrocketing costs 420 00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:30.519 from so many big wildfires in the state, and it's due or dive for 421 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.599 the El Segundo All Stars. They beat Washington yesterday. Yay. That earns 422 00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:40.720 them a spot in the US Championship game against Texas tomorrow. Of course Texas 423 00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:44.880 beat them earlier this week. Go El Segundo. We're just minutes away from 424 00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.440 Handle. On the news this morning, Fox scores a big win in the 425 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.039 first Republican debates. We'll talk about that, but right now, let's say 426 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:57.480 good morning to ABC's entertainment guru Jason Nathanson. Jason Barbie was unseated by Blue 427 00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:00.720 beat the last week. Is she gonna be back on top this weekend? 428 00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:06.720 It's possible because Blue Beetle's gonna fall significantly, as all those comic book movies 429 00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:10.519 do so and then there's one new movie. I mean, there are a 430 00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:14.240 couple of new movies at the box office, but Grand Thereismo is the kind 431 00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:19.480 of biggest one, although the tracking has that ten to fifteen million dollars. 432 00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:25.200 Yeah, not great, not a really huge opening, although it is a 433 00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:27.440 good movie. So maybe if there's a word of mouth that's positive, more 434 00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:33.440 people will go see it. But given that, it's possible that Barbie if 435 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.640 if Grand Thereismo is low and Barbie kind of overperforms, and then we have 436 00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.920 this kind of wrench in the works called National Cinema Day on Sunday yea, 437 00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:47.920 which could change things significantly. We don't know. Tickets are four dollars at 438 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:52.039 almost every movie theater for all the showings, and last year they did this 439 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:55.400 was the first time they did this. It was three dollars. This year's 440 00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:59.720 four dollars inflation, but it was the it was the most attended day of 441 00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:02.079 the year last year when they did this. Okay, but the problem is 442 00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:06.640 if you're basing it on ticket sales, even if a ton of people go, 443 00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:08.160 the ticket sales are going to be a lot lower. They are, 444 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:13.240 But even if it brings out more people, it'll still for I think that 445 00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.119 that'll boost numbers for a movie like Barbie or Oppenheimer, which have been around 446 00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:20.279 for a while, but people might want to go again and see and stuff. 447 00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:22.599 Also, this year it's on a Sunday. Last year is on a 448 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.240 Saturday, so I'm not sure how that's going to change things as well. 449 00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:29.839 So we could see high attendance but lower ticket prices. But you know, 450 00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:32.119 when we're talking about movies, you know, these aren't first run movies anyway, 451 00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:37.119 so people are going to see them, you know, at cheaper prices. 452 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:39.119 So it's not for Grand Thereismo. It's for movies that have already been 453 00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:42.319 out. No, no, no, it's for everything. Every Yeah, 454 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.640 it's for everything. So so right, so that could depress something like Grand 455 00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:49.079 Thereismo, which is new, which might have more people going, which would 456 00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.920 have possibly bigger box office. But you know, the rising tide lifts all 457 00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:58.279 boats. So if if the bigger audience is there, we're going to see 458 00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.720 more turnout, I think, so it should level out whatever the case. 459 00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:06.119 Though Grand Treismo I really really like, Oh, I was just gonna ask 460 00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:07.839 you, I don't even know what it's about. I've seen the I keep 461 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:12.519 thinking Grand Toreno, and that makes me think of Clint Eastwood. Sure, 462 00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:15.559 so is not that this is not that this is based There's a video game 463 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.119 called Grand Thereismo, which is a car racing video game, one of those 464 00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.799 realistic car racing video games. Right, it's not about shooting people and all 465 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.960 that kind of stuff. It's about actually racing cars. And there was a 466 00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:31.240 contest at some point that was held for players of Grand Thereismo which was basically, 467 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:35.279 if you're really good and you win this contest, you you'll have the 468 00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:40.400 chance to actually race cars in the physical, real world. This is something 469 00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:45.119 that actually exists, and this is based on a true story of a guy 470 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:50.119 named Jan Martin Borow who was he was really good at Grand Treismo and he 471 00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:52.240 really wanted to be a race car driver. But he's a poor kid from 472 00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:57.319 the wrong side of the tracks in Cardiff Whales, so racing through conventional means 473 00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.559 was never really going to be an option for him. He gets in there, 474 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:02.960 he goes through this contest and he becomes an actual race car driver, 475 00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:10.960 and this follows his story, which is inspiring and also interesting. Archie Midwaucky 476 00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:15.719 stars with David Harbor from Stranger Things You Might Know, who's also he plays 477 00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:20.920 one of the racing coaches Orlando Bloom in there as well. And you know, 478 00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:24.159 it follows some of the same beats that a lot of racing movies have 479 00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:28.360 followed before in the past, Ford versus Ferrari and others. You know, 480 00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:31.920 there's cars zooming by, there's pit crews and things like that. But this 481 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:37.360 is, this is It brings enough of a new spin to the story, 482 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:42.280 uh that it doesn't feel like it's not fresh. And it's also directed by 483 00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:46.199 Neil Blumcamp who's best known for directing District nine, a fantastic film. He 484 00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:51.360 brings some new energy and flair to a story like this that was a weird 485 00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:55.000 movie turned into the alien. Yeah, District nine, I love that movie. 486 00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:58.639 Though it was it was, it was, it was fantastic. So 487 00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:00.880 if you haven't seen that, that when you might want to check out this 488 00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:02.760 weekend as well. Hey, gold is also going to be out in theaters. 489 00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:07.400 Probably won't be a blockbuster, but it could be an important movie for 490 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:13.280 Helen Mirren. Yeah, and we'll see what happens with this. Golda is 491 00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:17.199 as it's not a biopic of Golden my year, the former Israeli Prime minister. 492 00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:22.800 It is a snapshot of this very specific moment in time, the Young 493 00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.079 Kapora War of nineteen seventy three. She's under a lot of stress. She's 494 00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:30.119 battling with her generals, she's battling with the US, she's battling with Egypt, 495 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:36.920 and she's trying to persue the US through then Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, 496 00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:40.360 who's played by Lee of Schreiber, to provide support and Helen Mirren in 497 00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:45.199 this role. She stars as Golda went through three and a half hours of 498 00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:49.880 makeup every day in order to transform herself into this character. And when you 499 00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:54.159 do something like that, oftentimes you're trying to win an Oscar and her performance 500 00:35:54.159 --> 00:36:00.280 in this is Oscar worthy. The film itself not quite there. So so 501 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:07.039 she's great, but the film, you know, the movie. The movie 502 00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:10.960 doesn't suck, but it's not quite Oscar. I don't think it's going to 503 00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:15.599 get a lot of attention outside of her performance. Also, it's coming in 504 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:20.639 August, which isn't not a normal time to release Oscar caliber movies, but 505 00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:22.360 this year is all screwed up because of the strike and everything. Anyway, 506 00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:28.400 so we'll see what happens. Miran is fantastic. She she's definitely lost in 507 00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:30.760 this and Gold in my Ear, who you know, some people might not 508 00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:35.440 know. Uh. Even though she was the Prime Minister of Israel, she 509 00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:39.960 was actually raised in Milwaukee. She was born in the Ukraine and then her 510 00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:45.920 family moved to Milwaukee and then eventually she ended up in Israel as a as 511 00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:50.960 a younger woman. So she does not have an Israeli accent. And so 512 00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:52.880 when you when you hear her speak, it doesn't seem to make sense. 513 00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:57.679 But that's mirn doing. You know what, how Golda actually sounded like? 514 00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:01.559 Uh? So again she's fantastic chain smoking throughout the whole thing, because Gold 515 00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:06.400 of my Ear was a was a massive smoker and as a cigarette in her 516 00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:08.679 hand every scene, and a cup of coffee as well. Okay, and 517 00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:12.079 if you real quick, I know we're about at a time. But if 518 00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:14.159 you want to hunker down on the couch, which is one of my favorite 519 00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:16.000 things to do. What's new on the stream this weekend? Uh, if 520 00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:20.760 you haven't checked out asca the new Star Wars series that's out on Disney Plus 521 00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:23.679 that which I know and I actually did not get a chance to see it. 522 00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:27.800 Oh okay, so I like it, but it's it's kind of it's 523 00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:30.679 a little bit of a slow start, but it's a classic Star Wars story 524 00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:36.559 and I'm going to give it more time. It's good. These Star Wars 525 00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:38.199 series have been tough, you know, the quality has been up and down 526 00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:42.400 on a lot of them. And I'm not a big enough fan where it 527 00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:46.440 for me I care either way, But I know for fans it's it's been 528 00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:51.599 a tough road with some of these series. So and but I do know 529 00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:53.679 people are liking this one more than some of the others, so okay. 530 00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:57.760 And then but then there's an adapt standler one out, yes, and then 531 00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.320 uh, moviewise Uh it's called you are so not Invited to buy him up? 532 00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:05.400 My bot Mitzvah, which is actually the title of little book. It's 533 00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.920 based on its coming age story. Adam Sandlers stars is the father and he 534 00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:12.840 produces it, but his real life daughters are also in it and the stars 535 00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:16.719 of the film. It's a you know, tween story about kids, you 536 00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:21.079 know, and all the drama that comes with the girls and Bot Mitzvah's and 537 00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:24.119 you know, liking boys and things like that. It's funny and it's fun 538 00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:29.400 uh, And I think for families it's it's it's a good pick this weekend 539 00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:32.719 for for families with tweens. Okay, I'm supposed to ask you if if 540 00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:37.199 your bar mitzvah was anything like what you're going to see in the Adam Sandler 541 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:43.119 movie. Not quite, because here in middle class Los Angeles, you're in 542 00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:45.440 the movie. You're looking at like, you know, the kids want Dualipa 543 00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:52.239 to perform at their bot mitzcas. I mine was not quite that. But 544 00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.199 I did have a nice party with a nice theme. It was saved saved 545 00:38:55.239 --> 00:39:00.119 the world. Look at you. This was nineteen nine and the ozone layer 546 00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:05.039 was a really big thing. My bar mitzva did not save the world. 547 00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:07.719 In fact, I some would argue that it's much worse. Well, but 548 00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:10.320 maybe it contributed to save me. Maybe it could have been worse if you 549 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:15.519 hadn't had that theme. Yeah, I don't know. Environmentally, things are 550 00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:17.559 looking pretty bad. I mean, we just had a hurricane in Los Angeles. 551 00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:20.920 We had her a quake, we had her a quake, so, 552 00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:23.440 you know, not looking great. So but I don't want to necessarily blame 553 00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:27.000 my bar mitzvah for you know, I don't. I don't think that was 554 00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:30.440 the cause of it. Okay, I still think I've tried. Thank you 555 00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:36.599 Jason Nathansons.
