But I'm so thankful because in spite of you 11 00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.479 know, trees falling down and that kind of stuff, one person hurt. 12 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.400 We'll tell you about that in just a second, but there were no fires, 13 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.040 and I'm going to say thank you to the rain for that. It's 14 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.200 always scary when the Santa Ana's kick up and the moisture levels are low and 15 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.359 all of that, but not this year, at least not so far. 16 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:21.000 Hey, have you checked out? The new Eras tour on Disney Plus premiered 17 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.280 yesterday at six o'clock hour time. I know some of my friends were going 18 00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:26.200 to watch it. I didn't because I had to go to bed and I 19 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.519 didn't want to start it and not finish it. But I think that might 20 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:32.719 be on my agenda. I'm not going to pay you to go see that 21 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.680 concert, but I might watch it on TV. Here's what's ahead on wake 22 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.680 Up Call.

His legal team are Guso's 27 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.280 charges should be thrown out because of the Presidential Records Act. The judge yesterday 28 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:10.120 disagreed. A system outage at some McDonald's around the world has forced some restaurants 29 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.400 to close, and the app apparently isn't working, leading to a lot of 30 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.479 complaints on social media. McDonald's restaurants are on a global network. Some say 31 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.039 kiosks are not available to use, and others say they can't order on the 32 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:29.120 mobile app. McDonald says it is not a cybersecurity issue. At six oh 33 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:30.639 five, it's handled. On the news, Chuck Schumer is calling for new 34 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:35.280 elections in Israel, which has going over like a ton of bricks in some 35 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.919 circles. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI 36 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.800 twenty four hour newsrooms. Strong Santa and the winds have knocked over trees across 37 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.280 southern California.

An 47 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.960 LAPD source says police responded yesterday morning and arrested the man also believed to be 48 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.759 responsible for hitting a six year old girl on Main Street in Santa Monica Sunday. 49 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.400 He was described by witnesses in Santa Monica as possibly homeless and suffering from 50 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:44.840 a psychotic episode.

Michael Monks KFI 51 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.120 News a traffic stop in Riverside County has led to a big old gun bust. 52 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.560 Deputies say the driver pulled over in San Jacinto Sunday had several arrest warrants 53 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:59.199 out on him. Deputies searched the guy's car and say they found eight guns, 54 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.199 ammunition magazines, and five pounds of explosives. A search of the man's 55 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:10.159 home turned up even more AMMO and explosive materials. Pomona Valley Hospital says Saint 56 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:15.759 Patrick's Day weekend brings a thirty to thirty three percent increase in dui trauma that 57 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.959 typically targets an unlucky sober person. The absolute hardest thing to do is tell 58 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:25.240 a loved one that their family member has died. Pomona Valley Hospital Trauma medical 59 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.480 director doctor Michael Jimenez says, the spike includes paralysis, lost limbs, and 60 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:30.759 even deaths. And it could be that you hit somebody, or it could 61 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.360 be your best friend, your wife, your son, your child was in 62 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.920 the car with you, and then later you find out that it was because 63 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.519 of you that that person no longer lives. It's the worst feeling on the 64 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.639 planet, he says. All this can be prevented when partiers prepare a sober 65 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.439 ride home in advance and party coordinators prepare advance rides home for their guests. 66 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.399 In Pomona, Corbin Carson k if I News, of course, Saint Patrick's 67 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.879 Day on Sunday, guessing a lot of people are going to start celebrating on 68 00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:00.600 Saturday, so get that d D And of course uber or Lyft always a 69 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.120 great idea.

And before we get started, Sherry 71 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:15.800 must say happy birthday. Well, thank you, that's very very sweet of 72 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:17.800 you. Yes, the Eyes of March has always been my birthday. You 73 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.600 know what, that's pretty crazy because you know, you can't really say has 74 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:27.600 always been because of course it's your birthday. Yeah, the date is like 75 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.959 one of those things. Whenever I was a little kid in grade school, 76 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.439 people would come up to me and say, beware you, beware the Eyes 77 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.439 of March. What why do we say, be where the eydes of March? 78 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.920 Sherry, I don't. I don't know the history of this very well 79 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.360 except it has something to do I don't know the history. Accept it as 80 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.879 something to do with Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar in the play Okay on the 81 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.800 Stay actually in forty four BC, the Eyes of March is the eyes just 82 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.560 simply means a new moon, okay. And this was always a The Eyes 83 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.360 of March was a celebration that they had to start the new year. It 84 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.319 was like, you know, the end of winter, the beginning of spring. 85 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.439 So the Eyes of March is when they would usually celebrate it. Because 86 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.839 the Eyes was usually between the thirteenth and the fifteenth and the forty four PC 87 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.079 when Julius Caesar was assassinated. It was on March fourteenth and in the play 88 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:19.120 by Julius by William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar passed passes this soothsayer, and the 89 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.399 soothsayer says, you know, beware the eyes of March, and Caesar's like, 90 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:26.519 oh, what does that mean? And other people are like, oh, 91 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.040 it's nothing, it's nothing. Well, it was a little something. 92 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.879 I mean, Caesar is one of these people who was sort of usurping a 93 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:36.160 lot of power, and a lot of the senators and the Roman council thought 94 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.399 that he had a little too much power. So what they did is they 95 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.920 plotted to assassinate him, and on the eyes of March, Brutus and Casius 96 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.959 and all sixty other sixty senators in total, on the eyes of March they 97 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.680 stabbed him to death, all sixty of them. And they, you know, 98 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:55.519 sort of started the beginning of the end of the Roman Empire when this 99 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.079 happened with Julius Caesar. So that's how we've always gotten that. It's because 100 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.800 Shekespeare wrote about that in his play, and that's the date that it supposedly 101 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.879 happened, back in forty four PC. So the phrase at two boute can 102 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.720 also be like you too, brutus, like really brutus. You were my 103 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:15.319 buddy, and then you know, then you turned around and you stabbed me. 104 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.279 You know, other people have said different origins as well for what that 105 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.720 means. But that's what the eyes of March actually means, and just been 106 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:26.120 down through the years, people have said, beware the eyes of March. 107 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.399 You know, some bad things have happened on this day. You know, 108 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:33.920 back in I think it was like nineteen seventeen, the czars are Nicholas in 109 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.480 Russia. He advocated the throne and you know what happened after that, Well, 110 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.879 wasn't too long after that that the Bolsheviks took him and his whole entire 111 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.600 family to the euro Mountains where they eventually shot and killed them all stuff, 112 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.720 you know, Anastasia and everything else. So that was not a very good 113 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:55.279 thing. There was also the case in well, if you consider you're a 114 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:59.040 TV fan, were moving ahead many many years, but he was also on 115 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.839 the stay in nineteen seventies one that CBS canceled the Ed Sullivan Show. It's 116 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.759 a big deal for a lot of people because Ed Sullivan was huge. However, 117 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.680 you are in LA so it was also the day in nineteen seventy seven. 118 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.800 This is a little good news if you're into seventies, TV threes company 119 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.879 debuted. Hey fucking me, say all right, anything else good happened? 120 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:24.319 Or is it just basically a cursed day and just deal with it? Well, 121 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.839 you're going to say that, since the threes companies fans out there, 122 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.160 I think that they would say it's a little bit better than that. But 123 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.279 yeah, there's a lot of good things that happened. There was a band 124 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.480 back in the sixties named The IDEs of March. Great origin story Heather song 125 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.679 Vehicle began. The lead singers young girlfriend kept calling him up for rides and 126 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.679 he said, you know what am I? You're limousine And somebody said, 127 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.200 you know, limousine is not a great title for a song. What if 128 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.240 we came up with a song called vehicle and that song became our top ten 129 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.960 hit. It was on Billboard charts and earned them a Grammy. So that 130 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.120 was kind of an interesting interesting Then he ended up marrying that young woman as 131 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.120 well. It may be married more than forty years. I love that. 132 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.200 Okay, Well, Sherry, I know you have to go because it's your 133 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.159 birthday and you probably have a lot of things on your docket for the day. 134 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.120 I have a great one, you too, Thank you very much. 135 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.759 All right, thank you so much, Sherry Preston.

I said, I'm not going to be 140 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.639 aware of the IDEs of March March, and my mouth stopped working. I 141 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:41.679 might have just cursed myself.

That would force the company based 159 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.840 in China to sell the app or have the app banned in the US. 160 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.519 Manuchin says he thinks the legislation should pass in the Senate, which it's questionable 161 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.639 at this point, and that TikTok should be owned by a business in the 162 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.679 US. Russia has begun three days of voting in a presidential election that is 163 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:13.639 expected to keep Putin in office for six more years.

We are both front runners in the search for clean and 172 00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.679 smart solutions in the field of mobility, logistics, build environment and energy. 173 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.159 The letter of intent signed yesterday identifies four areas of possible collaboration, ports, 174 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:15.159 transit, buildings, and energy grids. Speaking of transit, I was expecting 175 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:20.039 a FedEx shipment earlier this week, actually last week, and I have to 176 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.480 I'm frustrated as I'll get out with FedEx right now and tell me if this 177 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.000 has ever happened to you. So I was supposed to get a shipment. 178 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.679 It's from a wine club up in Oregon, and because it's a wine club, 179 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:31.799 I have to be there to sign for it. You need somebody over 180 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.879 twenty one. And so they send you the notifications and they say, hey, 181 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.799 your shipment is on the way and it's going to be there on Friday, 182 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.000 and it should be there before two o'clock. And I'm like, great, 183 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:45.240 okay, So I'll head home after work on last this is a week 184 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.960 ago, and I'll you know, basically wait around because I want to make 185 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.240 sure that I'm there to sign for it because I need my wine. And 186 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.279 so the shipment doesn't come, doesn't come, and then I get a notification, 187 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.279 Oh, we've delayed it. We're gonna we're going to deliver it on 188 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.360 Saturday. I was like, okay, fine, and so I kind of 189 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.759 waited around Saturday, not completely. If I miss it, fine, I 190 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:13.360 miss it. But then they send me another notification on Saturday, sorry it's 191 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.440 been delayed until Monday. And I'm like, okay, fine, Monday, 192 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.080 that's even better. And then they write back the next day and say, 193 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.759 oh, your shipment's on the way Sunday. I'm like, come on, 194 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.879 So I wait around on Sunday and apparently they came by, but I didn't 195 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:33.679 hear it because then I get a notice of a failure to deliver and that 196 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:35.720 somebody has to be there and we couldn't drop it and we'll try again. 197 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.480 I'm like, okay, fine, whatever. So I get a notification on 198 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.879 Monday, Hey, your shipment's on the way, and I go home early 199 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.159 so I can wait around. And then I get a note saying, oh, 200 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.120 sorry, we're not delivering it today. We're going to deliver it tomorrow. 201 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.559 So this goes on all week, and finally on Wednesday they called me 202 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.440 and they said, hey, we've been trying to deliver the shipment and we 203 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.000 haven't had luck, so will you come pick it up in Arcadia? And 204 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.639 I was like no, I paid for this, so I said no, 205 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.279 can you try to deliver it again. They finally delivered it yesterday, and 206 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.080 of course it said it was going to be there by one o'clock and it 207 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.240 got there at like five o'clock. So I basically wasted several several hours this 208 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.759 week waiting for a shipment. But the good news is I did finally get 209 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.919 it. I was just like, really, you want me to come pick 210 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:35.080 it up? When I paid FedEx to deliver it. I'm a little frustrated. 211 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.399 Normally I love them because they're you know, when it absolutely positively has 212 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.720 to be there overnight. FedEx is so great about that. This time not 213 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.799 so much. You're listening to wake Up Call on demand from KFI Am six 214 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.200 forty The IDEs of March. It is your wake up call. I'm Amy 215 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.080 King. Here's what we're following. In the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 216 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.960 Alec Baldwin says the rust manslaughter case against him should be dropped. In new 217 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.759 legal documents, Baldwin's's the grand process in the case was rigged and witnesses were 218 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:07.399 biased. If his request for dismissal is denied, his involuntary manslaughter trial would 219 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.399 start in July. Former Treasury Secretary Steve Manuchin is putting together a bid Dubai 220 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.399 TikTok. His announcement comes after the House voted this week to ban the app 221 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.799 if its parent company, Byteedance, doesn't sell the social media company within six 222 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.879 months. The humpback whale population in Alaska has declined twenty percent in the last 223 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:30.639 decade. The National Park Service says there are almost seven thousand fewer North Pacific 224 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.759 humpbacks in the waters. Researchers say a lot of the whales starved to death 225 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:39.200 during a spike in ocean temperatures that killed fish and seabirds. I don't know 226 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.679 if you've ever seen humpbacks like in real life. We did a trip to 227 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.960 Alaska and oh my gosh, we saw so many of them. It was 228 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.039 so so amazing. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. 229 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.600 Palestinians may finally be getting a little relief as a ship approaches the Gaza shoreline 230 00:15:54.840 --> 00:16:02.000 packed with supplies. Let's say good morning now to abcase j O'Brien. Good 231 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:06.080 morning, Jay. We're going to talk about some trouble in Gaza and also 232 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:11.080 in Haiti. So let's start with what happened in Gaza earlier this week. 233 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.519 Do we have Jay right? That occurred in Rafa? Can you guys hear 234 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.759 me now? We can hear you. Thank you so much, Jay, 235 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.440 Sorry about that, Satia, no worries. Good morning. So this happened 236 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.240 in Rafa, which is that city in the southern portion of Gaza that you 237 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:34.840 know of that a number of Palestinians have fled to amid that ongoing Israeli bombing 238 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:40.360 campaign. And so this was what the IDF says, the Israeli Defense Forces 239 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.960 say was a targeted strike on a Hamas leader that was in or near this 240 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:49.159 AID warehouse. But the UN says that in addition to that Hamas leader, 241 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:55.840 there were twenty two AID workers and civilians and others who were wounded in this 242 00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:00.639 strike. So the White House says that they are concerned by that House wants 243 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:06.039 an investigation. And it goes back to this broader theme of while the IDF 244 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:11.119 says that it is conducting these targeted strikes, so often similar civilians get caught 245 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.200 in the crossfire, as you know, And the White House has consistently had 246 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.240 to come back to this line, which is that Israel and their view, 247 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.920 has right to defend itself and certainly a right to go after Hamas. The 248 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.559 White House would say. The President said that in the State of the Union 249 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:30.200 himself. But the White House is also trying to impress upon Israel the need 250 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:36.720 to protect protect civilian life, and they've had to walk this tight rope really 251 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:41.000 for months, and every time something like this happens, they come back to 252 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:44.839 that phrase. But they just have to keep coming back to that phrase. 253 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.319 It's not signaling much of a change we're seeing in in White House policy beyond 254 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:53.319 little changes here and there. Well, and initially I think the White House's 255 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:56.160 stance too was, of course, we support what Isra's doing. They have 256 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.559 a right to defend themselves, they need to protect the pet Indians. But 257 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.359 when it comes down to it, they don't control what Israel does. And 258 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.440 it sounds like it feels like they're kind of walking that back, like we 259 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.160 need to get involved in what Israel does because this is just not it's not 260 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.200 playing well with all the civilians that are caught, like you said, caught 261 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:18.759 in the crossfire. And I think it opens up this can of worms as 262 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:25.519 to what degree, what kind of influence can Washington and does Washington have on 263 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.720 the Israeli government. The White House would say, even now to some degree 264 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:33.640 to your point that they don't control what Benjamin meton now who's decision making is 265 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.759 like, but what the White House's critics would say. Progressives in President Biden's 266 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.400 own party largely a lot of whom voted for him, would say that yes, 267 00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:47.640 but there are levers that the White House could pull on that would have 268 00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:51.559 a lot of influence on Israel, like US military aid and things of that 269 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.400 nature. Now, is that a road the White House wants to go down 270 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.440 at a very fraught moment for Israel, both domestically here in the US but 271 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.880 also course in Israel after that October seventh attack. That remains to be seen, 272 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.880 and certainly the White House has showed little interest in exploring those avenues other 273 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:14.000 than trying to through diplomacy and through conversations with its counterparts in Israel try to 274 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.440 say that the temperature needs to be brought down. Yeah, well, I 275 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.599 think, as you said, they're walking a tightrope and they're going to continue 276 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.279 to have to do that because I there's no signs at Israel slowing down. 277 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:30.440 Moving over to Haiti, which has been overrun by gangs and is in such 278 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:36.000 turmoil that the US is expecting there's going to be a flood of migrants from 279 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:41.759 Haiti headed our direction. What's the latest on that. That's the concern. 280 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.440 It remains to be seen at this flood of migrants materializes. We know the 281 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.559 Florida governor has sent state personnel to the shores of the Keys to prepare for 282 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:55.400 this. There was a conversation and reporting that the White House was considering using 283 00:19:55.400 --> 00:20:00.839 Guantanamo Bay as a facility to house migrants if they're as a refugee crisis because 284 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:04.880 of that deteri rating situation in Haiti. The headline on that today is that 285 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.559 John Kirby, the White House National Security spokesperson, said that that is not 286 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:14.599 a quote unquote concrete plan. So it sounds like reading between the lines of 287 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:17.640 what Kirbys saying is that that is one of a series of plans that the 288 00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:22.000 White House might be considering. So they're trying to manage this ongoing deterier rating 289 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:27.079 situation plan for the possibility of a migrant crisis that hasn't yet come about, 290 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:32.839 while also watching the situation kind of get worse by the hour in Haiti. 291 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:36.960 Well, and I'm wondering if it hasn't turned into a migrant crisis just because 292 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.519 it's it's so hard to get off the island and get over here. You 293 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.680 know, you have to arrange for transportation, and I would guess that a 294 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:47.000 lot of people who try to get here spend a lot of time planning on 295 00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:51.480 it. It's not just like a rash decision. It is And you know, 296 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:55.680 I covered South Florida for years, and you know, boats of Haitian 297 00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:59.440 migrants showing up on Florida shores, it's pretty consistent. When I was there, 298 00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.960 it would probably be maybe even once a week. So you're right in 299 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:06.640 that those plans were months in the making. Typically, when I would talk 300 00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:08.839 to those migrants who traveled, they had saved up for this. This was 301 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:12.279 something that they were ready to do, and they head again to your point, 302 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.759 planned for. So I think you're right. It's interesting to see how 303 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.279 that factor is in here. Okay, well, we'll be watching it. 304 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:21.440 And Jaobrien, thank you so much for the update. Appreciate it a ton. 305 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.680 Thank you. All right, let's get back to some of the stories 306 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:30.240 we're covering in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Federal agents with Immigration and 307 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.960 Customs Enforcement will soon be wearing body cameras. ICE has two parts, Homeland 308 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:40.440 security investigations, which handles transnational crime, and enforcement removal operations, which deports 309 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:44.839 illegal immigrants. Officials say eventually all agents in the field will wear body cams 310 00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:48.799 as a way to promote transparency and rebuild public trust. An official in LA 311 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.200 tells me their ROS team is on the list to get the cameras, as 312 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.039 well as agents along the California Mexico border. The FEDS are still working out 313 00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:00.839 policies and procedures, including discussions with labor unions. Steve Gregory King of Fine 314 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.880 News, A father in Michigan has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter for killings carried 315 00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:10.200 out by his son at school. A jury found James Crumbly guilty on all 316 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:12.880 four counts yesterday. His wife, Jennifer, was found guilty last month in 317 00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:18.000 the school shooting in twenty twenty one on the same charges. ABC's Trevor Alt 318 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.720 says the parents are the first in the US histories to be held criminally liable 319 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.079 for their child's actions. We are now in a new day in how America 320 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:32.920 responds to mass shooting and school shooting. He says, when James Crumbley heard 321 00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:36.359 about the shooting, he rushed home and looked for the gun, telling nine 322 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:40.880 to one to one dispatchers, I think my son took the gun. A 323 00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:45.519 judge in LA is allowing most of actress Leah Remeni's claims against the Church of 324 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:51.039 Scientology to proceed, but has also dismissed some allegations. Remedy left the church 325 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:56.880 in twenty thirteen. Her original lawsuit, introduced in August, included allegations of 326 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:03.400 civil harassment, stalking, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and defamation. Scientology 327 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:11.400 leader David Miskovich is also a defendant.

Economists say the high cost 331 00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:29.519 of housing is driving the exodus. Census data shows Los Angeles, Orange, 332 00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:33.039 San Diego, and Santa Clara Counties are among the top ten counties in the 333 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.319 country with the highest levels of out migration. More than fifty six thousand people 334 00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:42.000 left La County in twenty twenty three. A ship carrying two hundred tons of 335 00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:45.880 aid has approached the coast of Gaza to open up a sea route try to 336 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:52.359 get humanitarian supplies into the war ravaged Palestinian territory. System outage at some McDonald's 337 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:56.200 around the world is forced some of the restaurants to close, and apparently the 338 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.720 AP's not working either. That's leading to complaints on social media. McDonald's restaurants 339 00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.000 are on a global network, so it's affecting a lot of them. Some 340 00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:07.839 say kiosks are not available, Others say they can't order on the mobile app. 341 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.680 McDonald says it is not a cybersecurity issue and they're working on it. 342 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.039 At six oh five, it's handle on the news. It's election day in 343 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.519 Russia. Yes, who's expected to win? At five point fifty We're going 344 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.680 to find out what's new at the theaters and on the stream this weekend with 345 00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.680 ABC's Jason Nathanson. But right now it's time for us to catch up with 346 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.240 the house whisper and the host of Home on KFI. It's Dean Sharp. 347 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:34.079 Good morning, Dean, Good morning Amy. Okay, so I'm going to 348 00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.359 do some home renovations and I can plan and plan and plan, but I 349 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:42.599 better not get started until I do what Well, until you find out whether 350 00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:48.519 you need a permit, and then go get that permit. And also while 351 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.599 you're getting the permit, find yourself a builder. And those are scary complex 352 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.640 things. Probably the scariest part I think of improving your home is that initial 353 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:03.240 step into like, oh, it's just a foreign world, like what I 354 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.319 got to do? What with the city, And where in the world am 355 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.680 I going to find the right kind of builder? Because I've heard every horror 356 00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:15.519 story in the world, and so now it's me. Now it's my head 357 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.279 that's on the chopping block. Now it's my project, and what's going to 358 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.279 happen? Am I going to have one of these Oh I oh, we 359 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.000 only went four hundred percent over budget and it took ten times longer than they 360 00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.960 thought, or tractor walked away with my money. I mean, it's just 361 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:36.160 nightmare after nightmare, and people are scared to death of the process. And 362 00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:40.519 so this weekend we're going to help you navigate through it and understand how to 363 00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:45.920 avoid most, if not all, hopefully of those terrors. I love that. 364 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.680 Okay, So when it comes to permitting, Dan, and I know 365 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.160 you're going to go into a lot more detail this weekend on your show, 366 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.880 But what kinds of things do you need permits for? I mean, because 367 00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.119 you know, if you want to do something around your house, I always 368 00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:00.519 feel like, oh, I can do just do that. I remember one 369 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:04.440 time I had I had an electrician come in and put in an outlet for 370 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:11.599 a home sauna. I didn't permit it. I probably should have. Technically, 371 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:14.400 Yeah, and it's a little it's a little weird. It's a little 372 00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:18.519 weird what it is that you need permits for. In most people's minds, 373 00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:25.920 at least, there's a certain logic to it, because it's really about essential 374 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:32.160 systems that could cause harm if they're done wrong. That's probably the easiest way 375 00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:37.559 to think through would a permit be necessary here? So something as minor as 376 00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.240 oh, it's just a little electrical outlet, but it is an electrical outlet, 377 00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:47.240 and so you want that done right. You don't want it short circuiting 378 00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:51.200 the rest of the circuit that it's connected to. You don't want it dangerously 379 00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:56.640 wired wrong for personal safety. That's the kind of thing that actually requires a 380 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:03.279 permit. The same with moving plumbing around, heating and air conditioning stuff around, 381 00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:08.240 stuff that keeps your house dry, like roofing. All of these things 382 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:14.359 require a permit. It's not really about how much it's going to cost. 383 00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.559 And that's the thing that confuses a lot of people. For instance, technically, 384 00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:26.160 and I say this technically technically a kitchen remodel if you are gutting your 385 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:32.799 entire kitchen, all of those kitchen cabinets and putting in brand new kitchen cabinetry 386 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:37.839 and tile and countertops in your kitchen, but you're not moving the sink, 387 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:44.480 and you're not changing any electrical None of that requires a permit because kitchen cabinets, 388 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.240 for as expensive as they are, and I mean you can blink and 389 00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:53.200 a kitchen can cost you eighty thousand dollars, but it's technically finished carpentry and 390 00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.880 it is not a permit issue. Well, it makes sense though, because 391 00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:02.880 like it's if it's not a electrical your house can't burn down when you're putting 392 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:04.960 in new cabinets, and if it's not plumbing, then you're not going to 393 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:11.079 flood the house with your cabinets. So exactly, the city doesn't really care 394 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:17.880 whether your drawers come out the right way, where you store your paper towels, 395 00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:19.359 or they're not that concerned about that. They're like, you know, 396 00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.960 what, that's on you, amy, but you know, don't mess with 397 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:27.079 the electrical outlets. And there are varying degrees of permits by the way, 398 00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.440 too. When people think, oh, permit. They think, oh, 399 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.200 I don't who is going to draw all of this stuff and submit plans. 400 00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:38.480 You know, the vast majority of permits that are pulled there are no plans 401 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:42.519 attached to them whatsoever. They're what we call over the counter permits. It's 402 00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:48.119 just the city basically wants you to sign up saying, hey, I'm moving 403 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:52.119 three electrical outlets in my kitchen, and they count the outlets and they valuate 404 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.480 them in terms of the permit, and they will just issue you a permit 405 00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:57.079 right there, over the counter. Okay, here you go. But this 406 00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.799 means that you're on record now and the city inspector at the right time will 407 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.960 come out and take a look and say, yep, you did these three 408 00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:08.240 outlets right, and check off your card and walk away and you were good 409 00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:14.319 to go. It's only things that are far more extensive that require plans and 410 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:17.839 pages and pages of plans and all of that kind of stuff. Okay, 411 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:22.519 and then let's move on to builders, because you need somebody to carry out 412 00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:26.799 those plans. And how do you find a good one? Yeah, how 413 00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.440 do you find a good one? Well, here's the good news. The 414 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:37.039 good news is, especially here in southern California, major metropolitan area. There 415 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:44.599 are a lot of really good builders. However, there are also a lot 416 00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:51.119 of really not good builders and also predatory builders. So the key is this 417 00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:59.680 vet them, vet them, and seek out multiple bids and estimates. This 418 00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:04.759 is where your energy and your efforts are really going to save you hassles. 419 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:08.480 You've got to get out there and you've got to get references. You can 420 00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:15.880 get references from family members, neighbors who have successfully worked with contractors before, 421 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:22.480 realtors who can recommend contractors to you. There are online references. I particularly, 422 00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:25.920 I'm not a big fan of Angie's List at this point because there have 423 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:30.599 been some issues with that in the recent past. But I'm a big fan 424 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:37.359 of hows houzze howse dot com. There are places where you go to your 425 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:42.480 local buildings supply center. If you're looking for a painter, go to a 426 00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:45.519 paint store, not a big box store, but a paint store. I 427 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.160 was just standing in Don Edwards Paints in our town the other day and you 428 00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:52.720 look over on the wall and here's a wall of business cards up there. 429 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:56.440 Now, what do those tell me? Not much? But I grab them. 430 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:02.279 They are references, and then you check references. There's a lot of 431 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.960 work involved in getting a contractor right, but you call their references. You 432 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:11.240 want recent references, by the way, too, because generally speaking contractors, 433 00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:15.720 it's small business, and small businesses can change with the win sometimes just sometimes, 434 00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:19.160 life circumstance can I mean, a death in the family can throw a 435 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:25.160 small business out of sync as far as its reliability or its ability to be 436 00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:29.640 able to serve you. So you want recent references. It's great that that 437 00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:33.599 contractor did a fantastic thing ten years ago, but you want to talk to 438 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.200 the customers that they're serving right now. Okay, And then I have a 439 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:40.240 question. You also probably need a lot of patience when it comes to it, 440 00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:42.640 because I would imagine the really good ones are booked up. Yes, 441 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:47.039 And that's the other thing that you have to expect. And I you know, 442 00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:52.839 I always encourage our clients and our listeners that time. Time has to 443 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:57.400 be your ally in this process. If you rush, something is going to 444 00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:02.000 go wrong. I just ga and te at two. So time taking the 445 00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:06.680 time, being patient, not only to taking the time to find the right 446 00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:10.519 contractor, but understanding that, yeah, the good ones they are booked and 447 00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.200 just expect to get into the queue, but they will be worth waiting for. 448 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:19.720 Okay, we can hear so much more about this coming up this weekend 449 00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:23.519 on Home with Dean Sharp right here on KFI six to eight am on Saturday, 450 00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:28.200 nine to noon on Sunday. Can't wait to hear all about what I 451 00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:31.759 need to know before I start pounding that hammer. Thanks Amy. All right, 452 00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:35.759 thanks Dean. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 453 00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:39.400 the KFI twenty four our newsroom. Installed fourteen million dollars sand replenishment project for 454 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:44.640 shrinking beaches in San Clementy could resume by the end of the nup end of 455 00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:47.599 next month. The delay started in December because rocky sand was delivered to the 456 00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:52.599 beach. San Clementi Mayor Chris Duncan says the concern was the dredging equipment would 457 00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.559 return to the Northwest install the project for years, and you're thinking, oh, 458 00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:59.759 well, another project used sand from there. Can't you just sort of 459 00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:02.920 pick No, you have to go back and get another permit from the State 460 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.400 Lands Commission, Coastal Commission and everybody all over again. Duncan says the project 461 00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:13.440 will provide four hundred thousand tons of sand to prevent coastal erosion while protecting tourism 462 00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:17.039 and the O C rail corridor in Orange County. Corbin Carson kf I News 463 00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:21.480 A ship from Cyprus carrying two hundred tons of aid has approached the coast of 464 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.279 northern Gaza.

It's carrying food sent by World Central Kitchen. 466 00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:34.839 Israel's been under increasing pressure to allow more aid into Gaza after five months 467 00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.880 of war with Hamas. The US has joined with other countries to air drop 468 00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:43.279 aid in as well. Republicans have lashed out at cenimajority leader Chuck Schumer over 469 00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:49.240 his recent comments on Israel. Schumer called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an obstacle 470 00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.279 to peace in the Israel Hamas war and called for new elections in the country. 471 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:58.319 House speaker Mike Johnson says the comments were highly inappropriate and just plain wrong. 472 00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:02.160 He said, Israel is in an existential battle for its very survival. 473 00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:07.239 You're listening to a wake up call on demand from KFI AM six forty. 474 00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:10.800 By the time flies when we're having fun.

We talked, 501 00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:15.519 Yeah, we talked to Sherry Preston earlier and she said, you know, 502 00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:16.719 the Ads of March, there's basically a curse on the day. And I 503 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:21.440 said, I don't believe in that, and then things started happening. That's 504 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:23.119 what you get I know, right, it's either that or the wind. 505 00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:25.920 You can blame it on the window. Oh okay, so Mark Wahlberg, 506 00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:30.559 Yes, Mark Wahlberg, Well, Mark Wogger, He's not the King. 507 00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:32.360 Dog is the King. Oh, the dog is the King. Oh, 508 00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:36.159 then I'm going to go see it then, yes, Arthur the King is 509 00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:39.480 about a dog who well, Mark Wogger. This is based on true story. 510 00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:43.760 He plays a guy named Michael Light who does this thing called adventure racing, 511 00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:46.280 which I did not know was the thing where you for five days, 512 00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:52.360 basically a team of four they go hundreds of miles and then they're biking and 513 00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.519 they're cycling and they're running and they're It just seems horrible to me, right, 514 00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:00.400 but this is this is what people do. And he Mark Wahlberg is 515 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:05.159 an adventure racer guy on They basically his last race. This is the last 516 00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:07.920 chance to kind of win and get a team together, and they go to 517 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:10.239 the Dominican Republic and along the way there, you know, there's lots of 518 00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:14.039 street dogs, and along the way they kind of pick up this dog that 519 00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:17.039 becomes their team mascot. And the whole thing is about, you know, 520 00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:20.199 perseverance, what you can do if you set your mind to it, and 521 00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:24.800 you know, dogs and things like that, and it's a really nice story. 522 00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:29.039 We've seen the beats of this before. It's it doesn't really offer a 523 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:32.000 whole lot new, but it is a it's a nice story. It's beautifully 524 00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:37.599 done, the settings are are really cool and what these what everybody went through 525 00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:44.559 is a very inspiring story, to say the least. So I liked it, 526 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:46.639 you know, and in terms of box office, it's going to be 527 00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:51.480 the top of the new releases, but it's not going to be anywhere near 528 00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:54.400 Kung g Wupanda four in its second weekend or We're Dune in its third weekend. 529 00:37:54.559 --> 00:38:00.559 Okay, so worth a watch though, Yeah it's okay, I you 530 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:04.559 know, I mean you could probably wait till it comes on streaming. I 531 00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:07.440 don't know if you need to go see it in the theater, but it's 532 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.599 enjoyable. If you're like I need to get to the theater, well, 533 00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:14.119 if you need to get to the theater this weekend, I would say One 534 00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:16.639 Life is the is the one that you should see. Okay, what's that? 535 00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:22.079 That is the story of Nicholas Winton who going into this and you see 536 00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:24.440 this in the trailer, so it's not really a spoiler, but I'd seen 537 00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:28.159 this clip floating around the internet, and I think a lot of people have 538 00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:32.000 of a guy on a British talk show in the eighties and he did something 539 00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:36.599 fantastic. We don't really know what it is because we don't have a whole 540 00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:40.760 lot of context in the clip, but he says the host of the show 541 00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:45.360 says, is there anyone here in the audience who owes their life to Nicholas 542 00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:47.880 Winton? And he kind of stands up and looks around in everybody in the 543 00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:54.119 audience this guy had saved their life when they were kids during World War Two 544 00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:59.440 in Czechoslovakia. I think I've seen that, You've seen it. A lot 545 00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.039 of people have, and I think I'm crying already. I mean, it's 546 00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:07.000 immediate tears. And I didn't know the story behind this. And this is 547 00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:10.679 the story behind this guy, Nicholas Winton. He was a stockbroker in London 548 00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:15.519 in the nineteen thirties. He goes to Prague just as Hitler's army was invading 549 00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:22.199 Czechoslovakia, and what really strikes him is what the kids are going through and 550 00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:24.400 what these parents they want to save their kids, and so what a lot 551 00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:29.880 of parents did at the time in various countries, was they sent their kids 552 00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:35.840 to Britain, to strangers, to the families of strangers, basically, and 553 00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:40.360 Nicholas Winton helped get visas for these kids ended up saving hundreds of kids' lives 554 00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:45.960 when their parents perished during the Holocaust. And it's a remarkable story. A 555 00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:51.039 lot of people know it best is the Kinder Transport and this is kind of 556 00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:54.840 an offshoot of that, and this story tells the story of Nicholas Winton in 557 00:39:54.880 --> 00:40:00.119 the thirties, but also later in life fifty years later. He's played by 558 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:04.320 Anthony Hopkins, and he's kind of dealing with remember in Schindler's List, at 559 00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:07.480 the end of Schendler's Lift to you know this watch could have saved one more 560 00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:10.480 person and stuff like that. Nicholas went and is dealing with some of that 561 00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:15.320 regret that he wishes he could have saved more lives and he has to grapple 562 00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:17.599 with all that. And then you get to the scene with the with the 563 00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:21.960 talk show and you know, everybody just starts crying. I can't even talk 564 00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:24.599 right now, Jason, I'm crying right now. It's it's a great it's 565 00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:30.000 a. It's a fascinating story and it really it does it justice. And 566 00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:34.880 so you have Anthony Hopkins, who does a fantastic job hello, Helen A. 567 00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:38.760 Bottom Carter and Johnny Flynn who plays the young Nicholas Winton. You know 568 00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:44.679 what, like mister Rogers already always said, look for the helpers. Yes, 569 00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:46.800 yeah, okay, moving over to the stream, just a real quick 570 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:51.639 thing. Did did Taylor Swift break the internet last night? It seems to 571 00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:55.199 still be working, although it is the IDEs of March, so well we'll 572 00:40:55.199 --> 00:41:00.679 see. But yes, her her concert video, The Air Tour, is 573 00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:04.400 streaming now on Disney Plus, so you can watch that, which is fine, 574 00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:06.320 and I know a lot of fans are going to watch it. For 575 00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.559 me, the most interesting part of it was seeing it in the theater with 576 00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:13.760 all the people. They're jumping up and down and seeing a long and stuff. 577 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:15.519 It was just interesting. I don't know if it's something that I would 578 00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:20.760 watch at home, you know, necessarily, but but the theater experience was 579 00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:24.239 was a lot of fun. Okay, we've got no more time, but 580 00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:29.039 I want to hit both of these. There's an Abraham Lincoln movie or a 581 00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:30.920 movie about the assassination of him. The series. Yes. Oh, it's 582 00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:35.400 a series on Apple TV Plus about the man hunt for John Wilkes Booth in 583 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:38.920 the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, which is pretty fascinating story. Did not 584 00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:43.079 know, Okay, good, bad? Indifferent? Yeah, no good, 585 00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:46.239 I liked it all right. And then also there's a documentary about someone you 586 00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:52.199 might recognize, former KFI host Phil Hendry. It's a documentary coming out with 587 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:54.199 a guy you might recognize in it as well, talking about him named Bill 588 00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:58.840 Handle, and Handle's in it. Handle is in it, Michael Krozer is 589 00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:01.000 in it, Crozier's in it. A couple of different KFI people are in 590 00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:05.440 it as well. I didn't know that. Yes, And this is it's 591 00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:08.800 all about Phil Henry. And what's fascinating is is I listened to Phil Henry, 592 00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:12.719 you know, years ago, and he loved him and his body was 593 00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:16.239 so so funny. But I didn't know. Also, he influenced Bill Hayter, 594 00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:20.840 jud Apatow, Kevin Pollock, Henry Rowlins, like a lot of people, 595 00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:23.440 a lot of big names. Bill Hayter, especially in the documentary, 596 00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:28.119 loved him. He and John Mulaney would listen to him and he would inspire 597 00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:31.760 Saturday Night live sketches and things like that. So it's a if you are 598 00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:35.480 a talk radio fan, if you're a KFI fan, if you're a Phil 599 00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:38.239 Henry fan. Definitely an interesting watch, all right? And is that streaming? 600 00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:42.360 Yeah, you're gonna have to look around for it. It's not easy 601 00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.480 to find, but you're gonna have to pay for it and you're gonna have 602 00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:47.320 to search it out. It's called Henry. It's called Hendry, all right. 603 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:50.920 Jason Nathanson, thank you so much. Sure thing, take care. 604 00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.320 This is KFI and kosd HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. Did not 605 00:42:55.599 --> 00:43:00.480 know the Krozier and Handle were on that documentary. You've been listening to Wake 606 00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:04.199 Up Call with me Amy King.
