I guess you won't be saying that about me 6 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:49.200 while we're there, but still, it's so great to be at the stadium 7 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.200 and listen to all that stuff. The Dodgers are in action again tonight. 8 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.719 We're gonna tell you about that in just a little bit, but right now 9 00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:59.439 it is five oh one.

Thank you. Cono. Here's what's ahead on 15 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.799 wake Up Call, and it's a lot show. Hey Otani's former interpreter is 16 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.640 expected to self surrender to federal authorities in downtown LA and make his initial court 17 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:37.159 appearance. Prosecutors say Ipe Misuhura stole more than sixteen million dollars from Otani to 18 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.159 cover his gambling death. That's four times more than we originally heard. Miwsuhara 19 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.840 is not expected to make a plea today. Ron Goldman's father says oj Simpson's 20 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.840 death is no great loss to the world. Simpson was acquitted of murdering Nicole 21 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.519 Brown Simpson along with Goldman in nineteen ninety five. He was later found liable 22 00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.239 for their deaths in a civil suit. Fred Goldman says Simpson's death is only 23 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.079 a further reminder of his son's murder. Of course, Simpson, as we 24 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.840 found out, died on Wednesday night in Las Vegas. It's been so interesting 25 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.759 to hear all the stories from so many different voices in LA about Simpson and 26 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.719 the trial on KFI. Of course, Ken came back with John and Ken 27 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:22.080 yesterday. Bill's got a whole bunch more to tell you about this morning on 28 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.479 his show, and Jason Nathanson with ABC covered the trial. He's going to 29 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.719 be on with us later this hour and also going to let us know what's 30 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.479 new in theaters and on the stream this week. Also, looking to buy 31 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:38.520 a home cash is king people paying cash for Holmes has driven prices up nine 32 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.199 percent in one year. At six oh five, It's handled on the news. 33 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.919 The US has restricted travel for diplomats in Israel because of a possible attack 34 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.240 by Iran. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the 35 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.919 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The family of Ron Goldman has reacted to the 36 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.199 death of O. J. Simpson. Goldman was found murdered along with Simpson's 37 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.400 ex wife, Nicole Brown at her home in nineteen ninety four. Wison was 38 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.120 acquitted of the murders in nineteen ninety five. After learning of Simpson's death, 39 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.360 Ron's sister Kim and their father Fred released the statement acknowledging that the hope for 40 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.639 true accountability has ended, the news of Ron's killer passing away as a mixed 41 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.120 bag of complicated emotions and reminds us that the journey through grief is not linear. 42 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:21.439 Simpson's family say he died of prostate cancer Wednesday. Simpson had been released 43 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.719 from prison in twenty seventeen after serving time for armed robbery and kidnapping. Simpson 44 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:30.719 was seventy six. Steve Gregory King if I News to La County juvenile detention 45 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.400 centers can stay open now that state regulators have reversed in earlier finding and found 46 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.919 that the two county facilities are again suitable to How's youth offenders. The Los 47 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.039 Padrino's Juvenile Hall in Downey and the Barry J. Nidorf Treatment Center in Silmar 48 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:52.159 were declared unsuitable to house detainees earlier. That could have forced the closure of 49 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.840 the facilities, leaving nowhere for the juveniles to be housed. The fatal bridge 50 00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.599 collapse in Baltimore's led to calls for a review of a well known bridge in 51 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.759 La La. City Councilman Tim Mcoscar filed a motion this week asking engineers at 52 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.120 the Port of La to report on the state of the Vincent Thomas Bridge. 53 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:12.759 The sixty year old span connects San Pedro to Terminal Island. Mcoscar wants to 54 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.360 know whether conditions exist that could lead to a similar tragedy, such as what 55 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.480 happened in Baltimore, where the Francis Scott Key Bridge was struck by a container 56 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:24.920 ship, collapsed and killed six construction workers. A city Council Committee will take 57 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.680 up the motion first. Michael Monks, KFI News. Let's say good morning 58 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.160 now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, last time we talked, we were 59 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:39.959 waiting for Congress to talk about THIZA. FBI Director Christopher Ray was on Capitol 60 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.000 Hill. He told lawmakers about threats to the US and why FIZA need to 61 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.920 be extended. But it's apparently hit a snag. Well, it had hit 62 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:54.079 a snag. The latest develop did to pass the House later this morning. 63 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.120 Oh wait, wait, you dropped out for a second. The latest development 64 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.759 is what the latest development is. It's expected to pass the House later this 65 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.560 morning. But let's see what happens. There was a five year extension that 66 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.319 was on the table that was blocked earlier this week in the House, and 67 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:13.000 that's that snag you were talking about. But last night there was word of 68 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:17.439 an agreement to get a two year extension through the House. And some of 69 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.040 the Republicans who voted to block the five year extension have not come around and 70 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:26.920 said, all right, two years is fine. This section of the Faisal 71 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:31.319 law authorizes warrantless surveillance. This is a seven oh two part right, that's 72 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:36.079 right, okay, warrantless surveillance of overseas communications, and the Biden administration supports 73 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:42.480 its extension. But the House, as it debates seven oh two today, 74 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.720 is expected to vote on and we're not sure it'll pass, but it'll be 75 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.040 a vote on an amendment that would add a warrant requirement before the FBI conducts 76 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:57.040 searches in this vast ada trope regarding Americans. Remember, this is a program 77 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.920 that was authorized after nine to eleven to ensure that the the National Security apparatus, 78 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:06.240 including the FBI, had eyes and ears on overseas communications. And it's 79 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:12.399 been used, we're told, to some tremendous extent to allow the US government 80 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.839 to surveil bad actors all over the world, not just terrorists, but also 81 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:25.639 you know Vladimir Putin and you know Shijin Ping and Iran. And if seven 82 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.560 h two is allowed to expire, well, the concern is that the US 83 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.519 would lose its visibility on this. I don't want to get too deep in 84 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.399 the weeds, but earlier this month, in secret, we only learned about 85 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:41.480 it. The other day, the Biden administration asked the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance 86 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:46.519 Court to reauthorize its warrantless surveillance for another year, and the court authorized it, 87 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.560 which is provided for in the law. Even though we've talked a lot 88 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:53.480 about this expiration day a week from today, if the law were to expire, 89 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:59.079 the surveillance would still continue for another year. So a lot of attention 90 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.759 is focused on this more and the stakes are high, of course, but 91 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:08.720 it's not as though any kind of imminent harm to the country is upon us. 92 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.800 If this doesn't pass today, well that's good, right, or over 93 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.600 the course of the next week. Now the argument has been yes, well 94 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.560 the court has reauthorized the surveillance. But there's you know, the way this 95 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:21.920 all works is the United States government goes to, for example, the major 96 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:28.680 telecommunications companies Verizon, you know, AT and T, and they say, 97 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.360 all right, we have this law. You've got to provide us with all 98 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.639 of this information, and here's the order from the Secret fis a court. 99 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.279 And the telecommunications companies are like, well, all right, we've got a 100 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.480 court order. I guess we have to do it. If this law expires, 101 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.040 as it's set to a week from today, the argument is these telecommunications 102 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:50.319 companies might drag their feet and say we no longer have to comply because the 103 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:56.199 underlying statutory framework is gone. And yes, you have this court authorization, 104 00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.360 but we're going to fight it. And that's something that the administration has been 105 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:05.759 warning against. Okay, And then the vote on the amendment that you said 106 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:07.720 is going to happen today that they want to say, no, you have 107 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.480 to have a warrant before you do a search. Is that only pertaining to 108 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.279 Americans or do yes? Okay, that's right, So it would require see 109 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.560 the FBI's argument is, you know, on to the Fourth Amendment, search 110 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.600 and seizure, you have to get a warrant before you do the search. 111 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.519 Well, this is information that's already been collected by the US government, and 112 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.399 the US government already has access to it, and only the US government has 113 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.399 access to it. Why does the FBI need to get a warrant from a 114 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.200 judge before it uses information it already has well, and by the way, 115 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.879 it wouldn't be used in court necessarily, And then you could have an argument 116 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.360 about that. But nevertheless, what you don't want is you don't want the 117 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:48.679 FBI to be able to eavesdrop on Americans. And so there's a framework here, 118 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.679 and the question is whether lawmakers who wrote this law would expand it to 119 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.600 require warrants on the FBI when they search this trope for Americans. Okay, 120 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:01.759 well, thank you for helping us sort it out. And we'll be watching 121 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.399 for the vote. And I'm glad to hear that. Regardless of the vote, 122 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.919 it sounds like we're safe for at least another year. Thank you. 123 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.799 Yes, sure, have a good weekend. All right, thank you, 124 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.320 Steve. We'll get back to some of the stories now coming out of the 125 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.639 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The one to one in Agra Hills is going 126 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:24.960 to be closing overnights starting next week. Those cow trans crews can enter the 127 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:30.919 next phase of construction for the Wallace Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. National Wildlife Federation Director 128 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.320 Beth Prat says the crossing is going to give mountain lions and other animals their 129 00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.200 own highway. When this bridge is completed, you're going to have all these 130 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.559 people commuting and while they're driving in the morning or evening or whenever, a 131 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.000 mountain line could be walking over it, a fox, a coyote. Starting 132 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.600 Monday at midnight and for the next several weeks, the freeway is going to 133 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.559 be closed from midnight to five am traffic will be diverted around onto side streets. 134 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.759 The man convicted of killing college student Kristen Smart in San Luis Obispo almost 135 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.679 years ago has been attacked in prison again. The Department of Correction says Paul 136 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.519 Flores was stabbed while in the recreation yard on Wednesday. He was treated at 137 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.960 a hospital and returned to custody in fair condition. The attack comes months after 138 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.960 another inmate attempted to slash Flora's throat. Convicted child predators in California may soon 139 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.840 be stripped of sanctuary state protections Suddenlyman Bill assalely says, of his upcoming bill 140 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.960 passes, local law enforcement agencies will be required to assist ice when dealing with 141 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.480 convicted predators. Right now, there's a complete bar on recognizing any ice detainers. 142 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.200 Doesn't matter what the crime is. My bill is a simple it's a 143 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.240 carve out as Sally says, he's confident the bill will ultimately pass that the 144 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:46.039 bill will likely head to the Public Safety Committee before the full Assembly will vote 145 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.919 on it. In San Bernardino County, Blake Trolley k if I News, 146 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:56.360 the California Department of Education is ordering Marietta Valley Unified School district to stop enforcing 147 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:03.000 its policy that mandates parental notification for students who tell the school that they are 148 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:09.279 identifying as transgender. The directive follows a complaint filed by two district teachers. 149 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:15.639 They're citing discrimination concerns. The state's intervention comes during a broader debate over parental 150 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:22.559 involvement and student privacy rights. People paying cash for homes have driven prices up 151 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.559 nine percent in a single year. A new report from Zillo shows, with 152 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.440 interest rates so high, homes are priced to attract cash buyers because buyers who 153 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.240 use traditional loans are having a harder time making those payments. Experts at Zillo 154 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.519 say it's not unusual to see a home listed for nine hundred thousand to sell 155 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:46.440 for a million dollars. We missed one of Nick's top picks yesterday. You 156 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.240 know, we did previews of what's coming up this weekend, and so we 157 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.320 wanted to circle back with Nick because I think that this show sounds so cool 158 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.799 if you're looking for something to do this weekend. So Nick, tell us 159 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.960 about the one we missed real quick. Wanted to remind you or tell you 160 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.679 about a leamer mom. One of Mother's leader, so Leam her mom is 161 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.000 Megan Dolan is a one woman show or what Megan Dolan is the Leamer Mom, 162 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.200 and she has a one woman show that's coming up this Sunday in Bray 163 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.279 at the Curtis Theater. It's part of their Amplify initiative. And it was 164 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:24.200 our honorable mention for Nick's Top Picks because she's a listener to Kifi and wake 165 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:30.320 Up Call, but also she's really a dynamic individual and she represents a lot 166 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:35.200 of people women mothers, specifically in southern California, who are doing things to 167 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.799 get the word out about those that are a slightly different or what we call 168 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:46.000 a neurodiverse.

The final snowpack measurement of the season has measured one 201 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.279 hundred and three percent above normal. The Eastern Sierra snowpack provides seventy percent of 202 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.240 LA's water. Snow surveyors say the total means ample water will be supplied to 203 00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:00.279 the DWP. With LA's reservoirs full. The aqueduct that delivers water from the 204 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.159 snow melt is expected to keep it that way. A man from New York's 205 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.720 been arrested in Marino Valley for allegedly posing as a priest and stealing from churches. 206 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.480 The Riverside County Sheriff's department says the guy called himself Father Martin. Law 207 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.440 enforcement agencies from around the US. We're looking for him. Marino Valley Sheriff's 208 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.240 officials say they believe he may have also hit other churches in the area. 209 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:26.639 In and Out Burger owner Lindsay Snyder says she fought with other company executives to 210 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:31.120 resist raising prices in the face of the state's new twenty dollars minimum wage law 211 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.559 for fast food restaurant workers. She says she felt an obligation to keep prices 212 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.159 low. Since April first, at least one In and Out in LA has 213 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.679 raised its burger prices by a quarter and its drink prices by a nickel. 214 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.080 At six oh five, it's handle on the news. Bill has a lot 215 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.879 to say about the death of oj Simpson, and you're not going to want 216 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.559 to miss it. But right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jim 217 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.879 Ryan. Jim, I've gotten these calls the one where someone who you don't 218 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:02.720 know says, can you hear me? Okay? Why should why should we 219 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.919 be aware of it? What did you do? What did I do? 220 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:10.960 Yes? I usually sit there because I don't know what to say, because 221 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:15.320 I'm nervous about saying anything. Yes, well, people instinctively say. And 222 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.039 when somebody you pick up the phone and they say and you hear me okay, 223 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.440 people almost instinctively say yes, and then they go on, maybe it's 224 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.440 a person on the other end. Maybe it's a robo call that I've gotten 225 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.759 that called can you hear me? And I say yes, and then it 226 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.679 says, oh, great, listen, we'd like to tell you about this 227 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.759 great travel opportunity vacation. And I'll say, wait a minute, are you 228 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.159 a robot or a person? Then the voice stops and says, oh, 229 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.039 I'm a person, and then continues with the pitch. And if you ask 230 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:45.399 it again, are you a robot or a person? The same voice as 231 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:51.039 oh I'm a person, exactly the same, And you know it's clearly a 232 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.559 robo call. Now, maybe it's a legitimate sales pitch they're offering up. 233 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:59.120 Maybe not. The BBB has to send alert out. The better Business Bureau 234 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.679 advising people that if they get that phone call, then can you hear me? 235 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:06.680 Call? Just hang up? Okay, better yet, use your color 236 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:08.519 idea and don't answer it at all, even if it comes from your own 237 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:14.400 area code, because of phone spoofing and using your area code to make it 238 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.880 look like a convincing call is as much more common. What can happen if 239 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.960 you do is say yeah after the person says do you hear me? Well? 240 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.559 The best case scenario is that it tells the robo caller or the sales 241 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.640 caller that you have an active phone number, that this is a good phone. 242 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.480 They can keep calling you and making pitches or doing whatever they're doing. 243 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.079 The worst case scenario, according to the BBB, is that your voice was 244 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.000 recorded saying yes, and so then they go out they make purchases in your 245 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.039 name using your voice because it is your voice. It's not an AI generator 246 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.720 thing, it's your voice saying yes. So you need to keep track of 247 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:53.279 your credit card bills because they may have charged something using your voice and your 248 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:57.960 credentials. That is just so annoying. I hate that we even have to 249 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:02.440 worry about this, but and especially like you mentioned, the calls that appear 250 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:07.480 to come from your area code, because for example, I generally I don't 251 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.359 know how you guys are, but I generally won't pick up a phone if 252 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:15.720 I don't recognize the number. Good idea, But then it also becomes a 253 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.799 problem because there are legitimate people calling you, like if you have a doctor's 254 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.839 appointment or maybe an appointment at the spa. I mean, you know it 255 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.440 just but there are things that you do that you do have to communicate with 256 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.799 people you don't necessarily know. Yeah, well right, right, and so 257 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.759 check that you use your caller idea. If it says you know, just 258 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.759 a phone number, forget it. But if it says Librea Beauty Spa, 259 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.039 then sure pick it up, or your doctor's office pick it up. But 260 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.480 if not, maybe best just to leave it alone. Let it go to 261 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.519 voicemail, I mean even the or they may text you. If it's a 262 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.559 legitimate person, they'll probably text you and say, hey, Amy, this 263 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.559 is so and so. But I get I got one this morning. I 264 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.880 got a text from some unknown number. Hey, whose phone is this? 265 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.119 Tell me who you? I'm not going to engage. I just delete the 266 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:06.119 message. It's none of your business who I am. Because they once they 267 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:10.000 pull you in, once you start responding, either saying yes to the to 268 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:12.880 the question or answering that text message. The goal, the goal of the 269 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:17.640 scammer is to pull you in and Daniel Troze and me. Takes some time, 270 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.640 and eventually you're giving up personal financial information and boom, it's out there 271 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:23.480 on the dark wold. I don't have the time or patience for that. 272 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:26.640 Yeah, you know what Bill Handle does. He's told the story a bunch 273 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.599 of times. He'll answer the calls and get the people talking and then say 274 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.599 hold on a second, and then he'll just put the phone in. I've 275 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:38.039 tried that before too. It's fun. So it's just another case of let 276 00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:42.240 the buyer are actually the person who answers. Where you know, it's just 277 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:47.000 throw out the phone and live like a hermit. I love the idea of 278 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:48.680 throwing out the phone every once in a while. ABC's Jim Ryan, thank 279 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.480 you so much. Have a wonderful weekend. See you later. All right, 280 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:53.799 let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 281 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:57.960 four hour newsroom. The man who was show Hey Otani's interpreter has been charged 282 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:03.720 in LA with bank fraud for allegedly stealing more than sixteen million dollars from the 283 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.160 Dodgers player. The number was previously said to be about four million. Mister 284 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:14.680 Otani is considered a victim in this case. US attorney Martin Estrada says Ibe 285 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:19.279 Mitsujara acted as de facto manager for Otani for years and help him set up 286 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.839 a bank account in Arizona. He then allegedly lied to get access to that 287 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:30.039 account, obtained recordings of telephone calls in which was Zuhara spoke with bank employees, 288 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:37.440 lied to them about being mister Otani, gave personal biographical information for mister 289 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.400 Otani in order to impersonate him. Estrada says Misahara then convinced the bank to 290 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.759 transfer large amounts of money to bookies. Misahara is doing court this afternoon. 291 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:51.759 An Iraq war veteran killed while doing yard work outside his home in Long Beach 292 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.799 may not have been the intended target. Police say they believe the deadly shooting 293 00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:00.279 of Mario Morales Moreno last week was gang related. Reno was apparently hit by 294 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:07.519 a stray bullet. Fernanda Sandoval says her father's death should result in policy change. 295 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.640 The residents of Los Angeles County are living in fear. We no longer 296 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.359 feel safe in our homes. Four men were charged this week with murder and 297 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:21.480 attempted murder. A bill's been introduced in California to increased penalties for corporate crimes. 298 00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:25.799 Attorney General Rob Bonte says it would create a fund to provide services and 299 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:30.480 assistance to people affected by raising fines for convicted corporations to twice the amount of 300 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:34.079 a loss. Currently, the maximum criminal finds are around ten thousand dollars per 301 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:38.640 felony. Part of the restitution fees would also go to the DA's office that 302 00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:44.559 filed the prosecution. Officials in Oakland have voted in favor of changing the name 303 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:49.480 of the city's airport to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, despite San Francisco 304 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.799 threatening to sue over what it says as a trademark violation. Critics say the 305 00:21:53.839 --> 00:22:00.519 new name would also cause confusion with San Francisco International Airport or SFO. The 306 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.960 Board of Commissioners voted unanimously yesterday to move forward with the name change and schedule 307 00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.599 to second vote for a final approval on May ninth. They say the airport's 308 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:14.359 three letter code oak will not change.

Hey Otani's former interpreter is expected to self surrender to federal 314 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:42.799 authorities in downtown LA and make his first court appearance. Prosecutors say ebey Miuzuhara 315 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:48.559 stole more than sixteen million dollars from Motani to cover gambling debt.

Simpson was acquitted of 318 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.440 murdering Nicole Brown Simpson along with Goldman in nineteen nine, but was found liable 319 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:04.839 for their deaths later in a civil suit. Fred Goldman says Simpson's death is 320 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.440 only a further reminder of his son's murder. More than fifteen hundred guns have 321 00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:14.799 been intercepted at airport security checkpoints in the US so far this year, the 322 00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:18.720 TSA says if the trend continues, it'll be on track to be just slightly 323 00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.839 lower than last year's record setting number of interceptions. The TSA's reminding travelers to 324 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:27.720 keep any firearm in a hard sighted case and declare it to the airline when 325 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:32.279 checking a bag.

There are 333 00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:11.799 so many benefits to tackling a project yourself if you're willing to. Mostly, 334 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:17.400 of course, in addition to the satisfaction of feeling competent about taking care of 335 00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:21.680 your house, the cost right. You and I were talking earlier this week 336 00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:27.880 about renovation and remodeling costs being up by sixty percent all across southern California. 337 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.119 One of the ways to tackle that, and there's another reason why that's the 338 00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:36.039 case, but one of the reason ways to tackle that is to do a 339 00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:41.359 little more DIY. DIY intimidates a lot of people. It's a little confusing 340 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.759 for some folks because they think, wow, these projects seem so complex. 341 00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:51.920 But here's the thing. It's a very interesting reality that we've noticed over the 342 00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.400 years. Some of the simplest, some of the simplest as far as steps 343 00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:02.240 go, projects are some of them more difficult ones. But the ones that 344 00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:07.119 involve multiple steps, I generally find that if you take your time and you 345 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:10.640 work it through, you can get them done. And what I mean by 346 00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:15.160 that is by way of encouragement. Let's say you've got a project of you 347 00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.440 know, kind of putting well, you know, let's use a classic example 348 00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:21.839 of like putting an ikea piece of furniture together, right, which will take 349 00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:25.000 you three or four hours. Yeah, it can take some time. But 350 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.039 here's the thing. If if you're willing to step through it, follow the 351 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:36.039 instruction step by step, step by step, you can put that together as 352 00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:40.480 well as any pro could put together that kind of thing. And there are 353 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:45.000 a lot of processes around your house, even things like setting tile, laying 354 00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:51.519 tile that you can take your time and do. Lot of steps, lots 355 00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.960 of steps. Okay, I want to just mention the tile thing, because 356 00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:56.799 I did. I didn't do like a whole floor. But I had an 357 00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:02.759 old fireplace in my my first house in Portland, and it was this beautiful 358 00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:06.960 old keystone with the rounded top, and it was ugly and one hundred years 359 00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:10.319 old. So I got the paint and I painted the fireplace and made it 360 00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:12.599 beautiful. Didn't do it white like did it so it mel you know, 361 00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:17.319 went in with the house and but I needed to redo the hearth. So 362 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.880 I went and I did exactly like you said. I took my time, 363 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:25.440 I knew what the steps were and it turned out so good. It was 364 00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:27.240 like and then you get to look at it every day and go I did 365 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:32.599 that exactly exactly, And a lot of people would be like, oh my 366 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:34.599 gosh, no, I can't do that. You got to call it to 367 00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:40.599 set the time you can because each of those individual steps, even there's those 368 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:44.720 there's a lot of them. They're quite mechanical, and they're and they're and 369 00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:49.759 if they can be done very very easily, each individual step, Whereas in 370 00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:52.799 contrast to this, and I'll tell you my story. Yeah you know, 371 00:26:52.839 --> 00:27:00.880 I've been doing this for almost forty years now, I still walk away from 372 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.759 finishing drywall. I'm like, nope, bring in the drywall, guys. 373 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.160 Right, you would think, Okay, there's one step you put the mud 374 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.000 on a trowel and you scrape it across the wall. But the fact of 375 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:17.319 the matter is that simple step to get it just like mm hmm, that 376 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:22.839 is something that takes you know, it's one of those ten thousand hours of 377 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.480 mastery kind of things to just do it beautifully and smoothly. I am fiddling 378 00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:33.039 around with that for way, way, way, way too long at the 379 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.240 end of the day. See, that's one step, but it requires a 380 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:41.599 level of artistic mastery to get it done really beautifully. Whereas setting tile, 381 00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:45.720 that's so many steps, and yet if you take the time, you can 382 00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.440 do it. And so that's why I'm encouraging people. There are so many 383 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.799 DIY projects around your house that you can tackle yourself if you're just willing to 384 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:56.920 take the time and time. By the way, that's the first thing that 385 00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.920 we're going to talk about this weekend. I'm going to remind everybody about what 386 00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:06.000 we call in the construction business the iron triangle. What's that? The iron 387 00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:11.960 triangle is just a truth about construction in general. Imagine a triangle, and 388 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:15.559 we've got three sides to it. Here are the three sides. The three 389 00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:22.079 sides are time, cost, and quality. Okay. Now here's the rule. 390 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:25.440 That's why we call it the iron triangle because it cannot be violated. 391 00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.400 This cannot be broken, this truth. Okay. You get two sides, 392 00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:33.599 any two sides you want of that triangle, and you pay for them with 393 00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:38.799 the third side. Okay. So basically it means this, if you want 394 00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:45.839 it done fast and that's time, and you want it done cheap, okay, 395 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:51.920 all you have to sacrifice is quality okay okay. And if you want 396 00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:56.160 it done fast and really really great, then all you have to sacrifice is 397 00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:59.720 cost. Get ready to write a big check to somebody. But most of 398 00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:04.960 us in the category where we would like the best quality and the best value. 399 00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:08.400 And guess what that means. It means it's going to take more time. 400 00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:11.279 Take your time. Oh, take your time, okay, Yeah, 401 00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:17.240 take your time with it. Okay. You've got several tips that you've got 402 00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:19.000 bullet pointed for us, but I got I want to hit. I want 403 00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:23.480 to hit one of them, and it's the one that you never hit your 404 00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:27.000 thumb with a hammer again. Yeah, so we're going to be talking about 405 00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:32.799 using simple tool procedures with shockingly a lot of your dummies. Well, you 406 00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:34.279 know, it's not really that, it's just that a lot of people just 407 00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:38.240 don't realize how pros actually, you know, pick up a tool like a 408 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:41.799 hammer and use it. And it's a very very simple truth, and that 409 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:48.160 is this. Your first tap on the nail is with your hammer is a 410 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.319 very very soft tap to set the nails so that it is standing up on 411 00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.839 its own, and then you move your other hand away. Okay. It 412 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:03.319 is the fact that people take a an enthusiastic first swing and a nail while 413 00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.000 they are still holding it in between their forefinger and their thumb. That's how 414 00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.000 black and blue thumbs end up in the world. So you never have to 415 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.079 hit your thumb again. You just tap the nail, set it so that 416 00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.519 it's standing on its own, and move that other hand out of the way, 417 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:21.559 okay, And then just running down the list, there are things that 418 00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:26.960 are catching my eyes. Pilot holes. Pilot holes are critical. There's so 419 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.599 many people get frustrated because I need to nail this piece of wood to that 420 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.559 piece of wood, or screw this piece of wood to another piece of wood, 421 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.440 and they find out that they end up cracking the wood because they put 422 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:40.880 the screw in too close to the edge. Pilot Holes are key. You 423 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:45.240 drill a tiny hole the size of the shaft of the nail or the shaft 424 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.319 of the screw, not the threads of the screw, just the shaft and 425 00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:55.319 the inside, and then that nail or screw will not act as a wedge 426 00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:59.720 and force the wood apart and split it. So again, a little extra 427 00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:04.640 f an electrac time, you can get these beautiful connections done without destroying the 428 00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:08.039 material that you're working on. Okay, And then here's another one that I 429 00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:11.720 think a lot of times when we're trying to save time, we skip this 430 00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.880 one. And it's never a good idea to skip it. But it's a 431 00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.680 measure twice cut once. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that is just one 432 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:26.119 of the standing you know, proverbs of construction. You can't stretch wood. 433 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.119 That was the very first thing that my mentor taught me when I was a 434 00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.920 young carpenter. He said, there is no such thing as a wood stretcher. 435 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:38.160 So you make sure before you cut that thing short that you've measured it 436 00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:42.559 at least twice. Measure twice, cut once, always all. And I 437 00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:47.440 do it to this very day. I mean, this is what the pros 438 00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:52.480 do. We double and triple check ourselves before we commit to something like cutting 439 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.279 something so that we know that we're not going to end up with another trip 440 00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:00.359 back to the lumberyard to replace the material we screwed up. Okay, And 441 00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:04.759 then this is another little one that kind of goes in line with this one. 442 00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:07.079 These are such good tipstein. I can't wait to hear all of them 443 00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:12.400 this weekend. But when you go to cut something, you gotta know where 444 00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.920 you're cutting, and it's yeah, you gotta know what's you got to realize 445 00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:21.200 here are some physical realities. The pencil or the pen that you're using to 446 00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:25.440 mark the material. It's not laying down a microscopically thin line. If you're 447 00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:30.079 using a pencil, which most people do, that line can be a sixteenth 448 00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:34.839 of an inch wide. Where did you put that pencil mark on the next 449 00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:37.319 to the ruler? When you made the mark, and then understanding that the 450 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:43.000 blade of your saw is probably going to eat up about an eighth of an 451 00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:46.559 inch of wood. It doesn't just separate the two pieces, It actually choose 452 00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:52.039 through a section. So where you made your mark, what side of the 453 00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:54.839 line that you're going to be cutting on, and understanding that the blade itself 454 00:32:54.960 --> 00:33:00.240 actually removes material is critical. And that's why people when you don't think about 455 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:02.240 this, you make a mark, you cut it, and you're like, 456 00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:07.839 why is it short? Why does it not fit? You gotta track where 457 00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:14.039 exactly you intend to cut on that line. And we use these phrases in 458 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.240 the trade. I'll make a mark on something, I'll hand it to somebody 459 00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:21.000 who's cutting for me and say, you know, I'll say leave the line, 460 00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:24.359 okay, And that's how they know exactly where I want them to cut 461 00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:28.759 it. All say take the line or whatever. You gotta know. You 462 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:30.720 gotta know where on that line you're planning to make your cut. See a 463 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:35.440 lot of little things that are going to make a big difference to a successful 464 00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:39.359 DIY project. Exactly all right, And you can hear all about this and 465 00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:45.279 more coming up this weekend with Home with Dean Sharp it is the house whisperer, 466 00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:50.680 and that's Saturdays from six to eight and then Sundays from nine to noon. 467 00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:52.880 Right, that's right, Thanks Amy, thank you so much. You 468 00:33:52.920 --> 00:34:00.599 can also follow Dean at at Home with Dean thank you. Rains on the 469 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:04.559 way for the weekend, with snow possible in the mountains. The rains expected 470 00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:07.079 to hit La County tomorrow. A half inch of rain could fall in the 471 00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.480 basin, with an inch or more possible in the mountains. Snow levels could 472 00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:15.320 also fall to about thirty five hundred feet by Sunday, with light snow expected 473 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:20.960 through the Grapevine. A woman from La has pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining more 474 00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:24.679 than two million dollars in COVID loans and line to the irs in an attempt 475 00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:30.559 to secure nearly one point three million dollars in tax credits. Prosecutors say thirty 476 00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:36.880 seven year old Casey Hines submitted eighty bonus, bogus applications for Paycheck Protection Program 477 00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:40.199 and Economic Injury Disaster loans. She's facing up to twenty years in prison when 478 00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:45.480 she's sentenced in January. SpaceX has successfully launched another rocket from Vandenberg Space four 479 00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:50.920 Space the launch yesterday carried a high tech weather satellite into orbit. The satellite's 480 00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:53.559 going to send back information about the oceans, ice, snow, and soil 481 00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:58.079 moisture. We're just minutes away from Handle. On the News This Morning show, 482 00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:01.679 hey Otani's interpreter may have stolen more than four times more than we originally 483 00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:07.199 found out sixteen million bucks. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's 484 00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:12.800 Jason Nathanson. Jason, of course, the big story right now is oj 485 00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:16.320 Simpson's death. And you were in LA during the murders. I was, 486 00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:20.679 And did you cover the trial? No, I was in high school. 487 00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:25.239 Oh it was a little, a little too young, although I know Alex 488 00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:30.519 Stone started working when he was a teen in radio. But no, I 489 00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:34.840 was working at Red Robin actually in the Tapanga mall, nice and that's where 490 00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:38.079 I remember watching the Bronco Chase. Everything stopped there. We have TV's in 491 00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:43.320 the bar, and everybody stopped eating and serving and doing everything to watch that 492 00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:46.559 chase. And then during the trial, I was here in Los Angeles. 493 00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:50.440 And then when Rick was read though, I was actually in Santa Cruz. 494 00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:52.280 I had just gone to college, so I was up in Santa Cruz for 495 00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:55.880 that but to be here during that time, you know, just after the 496 00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:00.840 earthquake and the riots and that cup of years for Los Angeles was crazy. 497 00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:06.320 I mean, that was just a really nutty time to be here and everything 498 00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:10.239 was so in flux, so to be here during and during the Bronco Chase 499 00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:15.199 and the trial and everything just a very strange time for Los Angeles. Yeah, 500 00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:20.400 we were hearing stories because KFI, you know, was obviously on that 501 00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:23.480 twenty four to seven it was happening. But we heard so many stories yesterday 502 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:27.280 and talking to people around the office saying, oh, I know where I 503 00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:30.119 was. It was one of those moments where you know where you were when 504 00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:31.760 you watched the Bronco Chase. I don't remember it because I was up in 505 00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:36.320 Oregon. We watched the Bronco Chase, but I don't, you know, 506 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:40.159 we weren't tied as closely to it as everybody who was here. Sure, 507 00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:44.239 I mean, it was definitely something. You know, there are a couple 508 00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:47.519 of moments that I can remember, like that the North Hollywood shootout where they 509 00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:52.519 were with the bank robbery, which was a couple of years after that was 510 00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:59.239 something you really remembered about that time because that was just a really crazy event 511 00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:02.440 as well, but that Bronco Chase, for sure, it was something that 512 00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:07.079 just stopped everybody. And I remember it was there was there was basketball playoffs 513 00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:12.559 on and hockey playoffs on as well, and both of those they broke into 514 00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:16.800 and everybody it was. It was the thing that you know, everybody was 515 00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:21.000 talking about. Yeah, all right, well, let's let's move on from 516 00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.199 talking about that. You know, Bill Handle's going to be talking about this 517 00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:27.360 a lot today because of course he was on the air when this happened. 518 00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:34.760 But let's go over to uh movies. I started watching man Hunt, uh, 519 00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:38.920 and then saw an ad for Franklin on Apple TV. We're digging into 520 00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:43.519 our history, So what's uh? What's Franklin? Is it any any good? 521 00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:46.000 Yeah? Franklin is a new series from Apple TV, which they've been 522 00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:51.480 really digging into these historical dramas as of late. That's been their thing, 523 00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:53.239 and they do them really well, and they spend a lot of money on 524 00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:58.639 them, which I really appreciate. They're not doing these things with kind of 525 00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:04.599 like a small budget. Franklin is about Ben Franklin during the time where the 526 00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:09.039 Revolutionary War is happening, the US is losing or The States are losing and 527 00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.199 they need money, they need ships, they need ammunition. So Ben Franklin 528 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:16.480 goes to France to try to get That's on an unofficial mission to try to 529 00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:21.639 get that stuff, and they really need they need that really badly. So 530 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:24.639 this is about the diplomacy that he went through in France to try to get 531 00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:30.880 help for the fledgling United States. It stars Michael Douglas as Ben Franklin. 532 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:35.000 And this is another series from Apple which does I mean, you can see 533 00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:38.280 where they spent the money on the whigs and the costumes and the palaces. 534 00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:44.000 I mean, it really looks good and the story is interesting. When I 535 00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:49.039 was watching it, I'm like, I don't remember who played Ben Franklin in 536 00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:52.119 the movie. And then I went to look, and there hasn't been a 537 00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.440 Ben Franklin movie. Hollywood's not really explored the story of Ben Franklin, which 538 00:38:55.480 --> 00:39:00.559 is kind of strange given that we've seen. You know, HBO did to 539 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:05.400 John Adams miniseries that was really well received with Paul Giamatti a couple of years 540 00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:07.800 ago, and Ben Franklin was a small character in that. And then of 541 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:12.000 course he had Hamilton, which was a huge success. But Ben Franklin's story 542 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.320 has never really been explored. There was a Ken Burns a documentary a couple 543 00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.079 of years ago, but that was about it. So this is the first 544 00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:20.760 time we've really seen something like this in a series, and I think the 545 00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:24.440 story is very interesting. My only small bone to pick is Michael Douglas as 546 00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:30.760 Ben Franklin is a little rough because it's hard to lose Michael Douglass, Right, 547 00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:35.840 He's one of those guys when you hear just hearing his voice, you 548 00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:38.519 know it's Michael Douglas, and watching him, you know it's Michael Douglas. 549 00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:43.719 So I think if it would have been some lesser known character actor, they 550 00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:47.400 would have disappeared into the role and it might have been a little less distracting. 551 00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:51.599 Yeah. We were talking about that earlier this week because after on your 552 00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:55.079 recommendation, I watched Ripley. Yeah, and I liked that there weren't many 553 00:39:55.559 --> 00:40:00.639 super recognizable characters because you don't think about the character, You don't think about 554 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:04.599 the actor. You just get into the character. Yeah, and that you 555 00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.840 know, and some do it better than others. Right, George Clooney is 556 00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.360 always going to be George Clooney and whatever he's in Yeah, pretty much. 557 00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:14.480 Tom Hanks does a really good job of kind of disappearing. You know, 558 00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:16.480 he can do that, and you know, and it's not to say that 559 00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:20.280 Michael Douglass is a bad actor. He's not a bad actor by any starch 560 00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:23.559 of the imagination. But it's a little distracting when you're watching this and you 561 00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:28.760 go okay, that is when you can see the actor playing the character. 562 00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:31.840 It takes you out of it absolutely okay. So you say it's good but 563 00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.599 not spectacular, Yes, okay. And then there's a new movie out speaking 564 00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:40.599 of history, about civil war, but it's not a movie about the past. 565 00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:45.719 This one's right now. Yeah, it's about what could possibly happen if 566 00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:49.679 this country heads in the state and the keeps going in the direction that it's 567 00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:53.679 going. This is a warning. It talks so much about how the Civil 568 00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:58.239 War and by the way, this is from Alex Scarland, fantastic filmmaker behind 569 00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:01.199 ex Machina twenty eight Days Later and other things, and it envisions a civil 570 00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:05.440 war in the United States, maybe a couple of years into the future. 571 00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:08.960 And it's not so much about my expectations where I was going to see a 572 00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:13.519 movie about how the Civil War happened, how the two sides got into it, 573 00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:15.400 what they were fighting over, things like that. This movie is not 574 00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:20.159 about that, sod just your expectations a little bit, because this is really 575 00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:22.360 a movie about journalism at the end of the day. It's about Kirsten Dunn's 576 00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:25.639 character. She plays a journalist who is traveling across the country to try to 577 00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:30.840 get to the White House before the rebel forces take over the White House, 578 00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:36.320 and about how the carnage that when you cover something like that as a journalist, 579 00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:38.760 the toll it can take on you, but also why it's important for 580 00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:43.400 people to be there to document those moments. And it's also a little bit 581 00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:46.880 of a warning to say, hey, you think this happens in other countries, 582 00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:52.159 across oceans and in other far flung places, but no, this could 583 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:58.000 actually happen here. So again, it's not about how the forces in the 584 00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:01.960 movie of California and Texas and flo joined together, because in reality that would 585 00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:08.119 probably never actually happen. California and Texas don't join together. But it's about 586 00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:13.320 the effects this has and the kind of the broken conversation that we have in 587 00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:15.840 this country right now. Okay, and then before we let you go, 588 00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:21.199 Robert Downey Junior has a new movie and he's not an Avenger. He is 589 00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:23.960 not an Avenger. And this is the first thing that he's done since he 590 00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:29.280 won the Oscar for Oppenheimer, which kind of started a new chapter in his 591 00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:32.199 He was very good in that, and he's very good in this show called 592 00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:37.840 The Sympathizer on HBO, which is about Robert Downiel Jus is not the main 593 00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:43.400 character. It's about a half Vietnamese half French Communist spy during the Fall of 594 00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:50.480 Saigon in Vietnam and the Vietnam War and this guy who's doing kind of double 595 00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:54.599 duty spying for the US but also for the Communists. And Robert Downey Junior 596 00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:59.400 plays a CIA agent and talking about being lost in the character. He is 597 00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:01.960 fantastic in this. I mean he and he plays many different because he's a 598 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:07.079 spy, he's kind of in a bunch of different costumes and wigs and things 599 00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:09.119 like that. Really really good stuff, really interesting. And what I love 600 00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:14.199 about this story is I've never seen this before. I have no idea where 601 00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:17.360 it's going. It's completely original. Wait, it's new. Yeah, it's 602 00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:21.400 waiting all the remakes and stuff. I'm so excited to hear about this. 603 00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:23.679 It doesn't follow the same beats over and over. I like that about Civil 604 00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:27.719 War, and I like that about the Sympathizer as well. Okay, and 605 00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:30.440 that's on HBO. Is it going to be on Max? Yeah? Streaming 606 00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:34.400 streaming on Max, airing on HBO. So one episode at a time, 607 00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:37.000 starting Sunday night.
