Feels like Christmas out there. 7 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:52.240 It's darn chili. We've got frost advisories up for the inland Empire. San 8 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:57.439 Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valleys. Temperatures are expected to dip below freezing in 9 00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.479 some areas. The frost advisory up until about nine. So I want to 10 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.200 grab an extra jacket before you head out the door this morning. Here's what's 11 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:08.959 ahead on wake up call. Six crew members aboard a Navy helicopter that crashed 12 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:15.519 into the San Diego Bay have survived. Navy officials say the MH sixty R 13 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.920 Seahawk helicopter went down last night during a training mission near the Naval Amphibious Base 14 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.760 Coronado. President Biden says the US and UK strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen 15 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:32.079 are in direct response to Hooti attacks against ships in the Red Sea. Biden 16 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.599 said in a statement. The attacks endangered US personnel as well as its partners, 17 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.640 along with threatening the freedom of navigation. The attacks hit over a dozen 18 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.599 Hoothy targets in Yemen, including radar systems and drones storage. We're going to 19 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.159 find out the latest and the possible repercussions from what the US and the UK 20 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.760 have done with ABC's Shannon Crawford. That's coming up in just about five minutes. 21 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.480 A California congressman has introduced a federal bill that would require insurance companies to 22 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:05.200 provide coverage for natural disasters. This comes after State Farm and All State announced 23 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.479 last year that they would stop writing new policies in California because of rising business 24 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:14.919 costs and the increasing risk of wildfires. At six ZHO five, it's handle 25 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.759 on the news. Trump had his say during his day in court. The 26 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.800 judge told Trump lawyer to control his client. Sure, Bill's gonna have a 27 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.840 lot to say about that. Let's get started with some of the stories coming 28 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.879 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hunter Biden has bleeded it not 29 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:35.960 guilty in downtown La to federal tax charges. Biden was released on terms that 30 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.240 include he does not drink, do drugs, or have a gun. He'll 31 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:43.919 have to submit to random drug testing and attend therapy. Prosecutors say Biden shows 32 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.599 not to pay one point four million dollars in federal taxes from twenty sixteen to 33 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:53.960 twenty nineteen. Prosecutors further alleged you spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle 34 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.879 rather than pay his tax bills. Biden entered the courthouse quietly yesterday. He 35 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:04.879 used a garage and not offering comment to reporters before or after the hearing in 36 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.759 downtown La. Blake Trolley k if I News passengers on the Alaska Airlines flight 37 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:14.919 where the door plug blew out have sued Boeing, saying the experience caused them 38 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.360 economic, physical and emotional pain. The door plug detached last week, causing 39 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:25.080 the cabin to depressurize at about sixteen thousand feet up. The lawsuit comes as 40 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.960 the FAA investigates whether Boeing failed to make sure its products adhere to federal safety 41 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.240 regulations. It says the emergency should have never happened. Hundreds of flights have 42 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.560 been canceled or delayed because of Boeing's seven thirty seven Max nine planes being grounded. 43 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.680 The airline has given a full refund to all one hundred and seventy seven 44 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:49.759 passengers on board that flight. It also provided a fifteen hundred dollars cash payment 45 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.120 to each passenger to cover any other expenses, and says it'll be offering twenty 46 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:59.719 four to seven access to mental health resources and counseling. Cyprus has voted to 47 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.759 swhich from at large voting to district voting, despite the council majority opposing the 48 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.280 transition. This lawsuit has nothing to do with the Asian community here in our 49 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:13.120 city, Cypress Mayor Scott Meniscus says, a similar lawsuit has extorted multiple cities 50 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.839 in soak Outis, which is incredibly disheartening because we've had this if you will 51 00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.959 Leftis ideology forced down our throats. Councilwoman Francis Marquez disagreed this week, pointing 52 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:26.360 to the city's lack of Asian representation despite the group being thirty seven percent of 53 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.759 the population. Then California Voting Rights Act exists to make sure underrepresented groups have 54 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:36.519 a fair opportunity to elect their candidate of choice in Cyprus. Corbin Carson kf 55 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:41.560 I News Google has cut several hundred jobs across the country as it continues to 56 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:46.360 push for efficiency. The layoffs will impact hardware and central engineering teams and some 57 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.720 people working on the Google Assistant product. A year ago, Google cut its 58 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:56.319 work offorce by twelve thousand, or roughly six percent of its full time staff. 59 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.600 Other big tech companies have also been cutting costs and staff. Recently, 60 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:08.079 ESPN has returned dozens of Emmys and disciplined some employees who submitted fake names to 61 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:13.560 get trophies for on air personalities who were not eligible to receive them. ESPN 62 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.680 said in a statement the apparent fraud date dates back to nineteen ninety seven, 63 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.639 been going on for a little while. The National Academy of Television, Arts 64 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:27.639 and Sciences, which administers the Emmys, says it discovered the fraud and that 65 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.199 led to an investigation. Oh, speaking of the Emmys, I didn't even 66 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.879 realize this. They've snuck up on us. They're happening on Monday. I'll 67 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.199 be watching. I told you I'm a sucker for award shows. It's five 68 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.279 seven on your wake up call. Let's say good morning now to ABC's State 69 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.439 Department correspondent Shannon Crawford. So, Shannon, the US is finally fighting back. 70 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.879 Good morning. Well, that's right. After weeks of warning that hoo, 71 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:55.720 the attacks in the Red Sea would have severe consequences, the US and 72 00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:00.399 the UK made good on those promises, launching a stunning blue of Tomahawk cruise 73 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:05.160 missiles in the pre dawn hours from an American submarine and Navy warships, with 74 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:12.040 fighter jets backing the whole operation, ultimately hitting over sixty targets at sixteen locations. 75 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.120 It's one of the broadest strikes in recent memory. Okay, and you 76 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:19.240 said sixty different targets. Were they all concentrated in like one area or kind 77 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:25.680 of all over Yemen? We are seeing most of the targets were in western 78 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.000 part of the country. That's where the hookies have been launching attacks on commercial 79 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.240 vessels in the Red Sea. They say they're doing it in solidarity with the 80 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:38.839 Palestinians and that they're hitting ships with connections to Israel, but in reality, 81 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.920 many of these ships have no connections to Israel or only ten risk ties. 82 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.279 Okay, and a lot of them are cargo ships, isn't that correct? 83 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.319 That's right fifty About fifteen percent of the world's trade goes through the Red Sea 84 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:56.000 and the surrounding waterways. It was starting to have a significant impact on the 85 00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.319 ability to move goods and oil. Ships had to diverge round Africa instead of 86 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.439 going through the more direct route, and really was adding costs to an already 87 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:13.519 shaky global economy. How much longer does it take to go around the tip 88 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:19.759 of Africa? It takes about ten days added to these already sometimes very long 89 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:24.879 journeys because much of the trade is going to East Asia, so these are 90 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.240 weeks or months of travel that is already happening, so adding those days, 91 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:35.240 and of course other threats come with that diverted route. So really shipping companies 92 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:40.399 were finding there was no good option. Yeah, okay, so we launched 93 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:45.560 the attacks the US and the UK. What kind of damage was done? 94 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.240 Do we know or is it too early to make that assessment? Damage assessments 95 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:54.439 are ongoing now that we've paid daylight hours and Yemen. US officials are confident, 96 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.279 however, that they have significantly degraded hooty capabilities. They should have a 97 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.360 better picture soon as to how successful they've been. But the hookies are very 98 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.319 mobile. Many of their projectiles can be launched off the back of pickup trucks. 99 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.000 So officials say they would not be surprised that all if the Hoopies do 100 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.560 respond, they have held on to some firepower or remains to be seen as 101 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.279 how significant that response will be. Yeah, and I heard that the Hooties 102 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:26.240 are coming back and saying that they are going to respond because we attacked them. 103 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:28.079 That's right, And they have been saying, you know, it is 104 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.399 important a note of course, that there have been more than two dozens the 105 00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:37.000 attacks on commercial vessels, and we saw this week they openly admitted to targeting 106 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.000 a US ship, so you know this is not for nothing. And then 107 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.840 also the Hoopies are they have saying they are going to come back, they 108 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.799 are going to strike back. They made that promise, and you know it's 109 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.919 something that official thing and shipping companies are taking very seriously. Shifts have been 110 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.200 worn against transitting through the Red Sea over the next couple of days. The 111 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.159 message here is going to get worse before it's better. That's what I was 112 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.679 just going to ask you. So is this going to encourage the ships to 113 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.360 start going through the Red Sea again, or is it going to like say 114 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.960 no, let's keep going around. You know, the ultimate hope is that 115 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.279 this will take the wind out of Hohofy sails. Really, the US was 116 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:20.440 under major pressure to act after issuing so many warnings, especially at the beginning 117 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.519 of the year, to came out with fourteen partners, to say, you 118 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.399 know, hey, enough is enough. And if they didn't, you know, 119 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.039 strike back, there would be some kind of you know, there'd be 120 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.080 a question over American credibility. But also, you know, the concern here 121 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.759 underlying all of this has been escalating tensions in the Middle East, and there 122 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.679 is a fear that this could open up a more regional conflict, spreading you 123 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.679 know what we're already seeing in the Israelian moss War. Okay, and Shannon, 124 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.480 this is the President has said that this was in direct response to the 125 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:56.879 attacks on the ships in the Red Sea. Doesn't have anything to do theoretically 126 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:01.600 with all the attacks on the bases that have happened, like there's more than 127 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.039 seventy five of them around the region, that's right, But there is one 128 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.240 commonality in that is Iran. Iran is a backer of you know, so 129 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.840 many of these militia groups in the Middle East, hes Beulahamas and of course 130 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.480 the Hoosis. So there is a kind of an access of resistance or that's 131 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.440 how Hoopies see it that they are taking part in. So yes, but 132 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:30.480 while US forces work quick to story back against those militia groups in Syria and 133 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:35.879 Iraq, the hoopies have been a kind of a different story because of you 134 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.240 know, really the de facto government of the emin right now. So it's 135 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.120 a little bit of apples or just comparison in the eyes of the US. 136 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.240 Okay, and the attacks happen, I mean less than twenty four hours ago. 137 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.519 But do we have any kind of idea or are is there any kind 138 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.440 of rumbling as about when they might expect the Hooties to respond if they do 139 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.960 well. It's something that US officials are going to be watching very closely through 140 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.559 today. You know, it's likely that the hoopies have not really finalized their 141 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:11.159 plans on what they intend to do. And what's also an added challenge we're 142 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.279 dealing with the hoopies is there a very unpredictable group while you know, others 143 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.200 might have a more consistent pattern the hoopies are really you know, only become 144 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:26.919 organized as such we've seen in the past couple of years. So it's definitely 145 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.200 something that they're going to have to be US forces and others in the region 146 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.360 are going to have to be agile and see what happens. Okay, and 147 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.480 we will be watching Shannon so much. Appreciate all the information Shannon Crawford. 148 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:43.519 You can follow her at s k Crawford ABC to keep up on all the 149 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.840 latest. Thanks so much, Annon, Thank you. Let's get back to 150 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.519 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. 151 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.879 The average price for a gallon of regular guys in La County has dropped to 152 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:58.840 its lowest level in eleven months. The average is four dollars sixty five cents. 153 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.840 It's down two cents from me yesterday, ten cents down in the last 154 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:05.200 week. It hasn't been this cheap, if you can call it that, 155 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:11.159 since last February. Orange County's average also dropped to four fifty five Inventor County 156 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:16.600 gases averaging four seventy one a gallon for regular unleaded. A California assembly member 157 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.919 is introduced a bill to restrict the use of facial recognition technology in the state 158 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:28.480 AB eight fourteen, which simply requires law enforcement to have additional evidence before they 159 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.279 can proceed with the search, arrest or affidavit for a warrant when they are 160 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:39.840 using facial recognition software. Assembly member Phil Ting says it's critical for California to 161 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.879 set up safeguards. Do you prevent mistake and arrests or inappropriate tracking when using 162 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.320 the tool. A piece of technology revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las 163 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:54.399 Vegas will help deaf people play video games. Audio radar allows the hearing impaired 164 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.000 to play popular audiocentric games like Call of Duty, Roadblocks in Fortnite. Any 165 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.240 espen on how many hearing impaired gamers there are out there, I could say 166 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.440 millions. For facts. That's Tim Murphy, the inventor and CEO. Murphy 167 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.679 says audio radar puts six led lights around a TV or monitor. So when 168 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.279 these lights are flashing let's say on the top of your TV for example, 169 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.960 that means there's gunshots or footsteps or tanks rolling directly in front of you. 170 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.840 Now those lights are flashing on the bottom of the screen just like a radar. 171 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.159 Those sounds are now behind you not only behind you, but you can 172 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.039 see it. They're behind you to the right or behind you to the left. 173 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.080 Murphy came up with the idea in twenty sixteen. He used to be 174 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.519 a radar tech in the Navy. He says they're working now on a system 175 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:39.919 to alert deaf people when someone's at the door or when a smoke alarm or 176 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:45.120 carbon monoxide alarm is activated at the CEES in Las Vegas. Steve Gregor, 177 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.600 y King of High News. Pasadena is a great place to visit es according 178 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.679 to The New York Times, which put out its list of fifty two places 179 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.960 to go in twenty twenty four. The Time says the city, known for 180 00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:00.279 the Tournament of Roses, Parade and the Rose Bowl, has plenty to see. 181 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.679 The nearby San Gabriel Mountains provide a picturesque view on a clear day. 182 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.559 The Norton Simon Museum, which I love, is a must visit, as 183 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.279 well as the Pasadena Playhouse, the Antique mal and of course, there's plenty 184 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:16.159 of dining options like Barsheloo. According to the Times, the number one place 185 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.080 to go this year is the Path of Totality, which follows the total solar 186 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:26.480 eclipse across America. In April, a second avalanche has come down in Lake 187 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:31.440 Tahoe, near where an avalanche killed a man on Wednesday at Palisades Tahoe, 188 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.039 which used to be Squaw Valley. It wasn't familiar with what that ski resort 189 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.080 was, but now we know. Ski patrol searched the area yesterday with dogs, 190 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.240 probes and beacons and says no one was hurt in the avalanche. The 191 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.960 area is expecting another foot of snow as a new storm moves in. Avalanche 192 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.519 danger was high yesterday, it's been downgraded to moderate for today. Israel says 193 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:58.480 the war in Gaza is not intended to destroy the Palestinian people, and Israeli 194 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.519 lawyer made the argument today in the International Court of Justice in the Hague. 195 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.919 South Africa has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza in its war against Hamas. 196 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.559 NASA will roll out a supersonic plane from a hangar in Palmdale today. 197 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.200 There's going to be a test flight of the new aircraft later this year. 198 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.879 NASA said. In a couple of years, the X fifty nine is going 199 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:26.519 to soar over a half dozen cities in California so it can get public feedback. 200 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.080 NASA says it will ask the public to let them know if the sonic 201 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.679 boom sounds more like a thump. Have you ever heard of sonic boom? 202 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.200 I don't know if I ever? Have you have cono? I have been 203 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.879 to a couple of air shows at March Air Force Base and they get up 204 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.159 there, they set off all the car alarms in the parking lot, which 205 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.679 is awesome. Does it sound like a thump? It's a really hard I 206 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.120 kind of. It's very hard to explain, but it's really cool to be 207 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.000 there for it. Okay, Well, I can't wait for the X fifty 208 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.840 nine to fly at six oh five. It's handle on the news. The 209 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.360 US and the UK finally fought back against all the HOOTI attacks on she in 210 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:06.039 the Red Seed. Let's say good morning now to iHeart aviation analyst Jay Ratleft. 211 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.519 Good morning, Jay Pleasing, Good morning. So it's been a week 212 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:14.399 since the so called plug blew out on an Alaska Airlines flight from Portland to 213 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.240 Ontario. The FAA says it's investigating Boeing. What are they looking for, 214 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:23.240 Well, they're looking to see just how widespread this situation is. And keep 215 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.559 in mind this happened on a Boeing Max seven thirty seven, their nine hundred 216 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:33.559 series aircraft, and so it's just a small part of the seven thirty seven 217 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.440 Max family. But it was at the end of December, I think it 218 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.799 was a twenty eighth or twenty ninth Boeing came out with an alert to airlines 219 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.360 that had all of the seven thirty seven Max aircraft around the world and told 220 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:51.960 them to be aware of loose or missing bolts. Now, this wasn't the 221 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.600 same part of the aircraft that we had the situation in last weekend. This 222 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.519 was different parts of the airplane. So we've had in the last three weeks 223 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:04.680 Boeing admitting that they have aircraft leaving their production facility being entered into commercial service 224 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.279 around the world that really I don't want to say aren't flight ready, because 225 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.200 that would suggest that there's an element of danger here. But anytime that you've 226 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:18.200 got airplanes that don't have what we call untorked hardware or where things haven't been 227 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.640 properly secured, it's to me an obvious situation of a production line that's getting 228 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:29.079 in a hurry trying to do everything that they can to dispatch airplanes. More 229 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.319 interested in speed than they are in safety, which is weird. I mean, 230 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.039 like Boeing used to be kind of known for its meticulous safety record. 231 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:42.039 But is that that's kind of falling by the wayside. Apparently, yeah, 232 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.920 it is, but I'll tell you it really off the tracks with the Boeing 233 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.759 Max situation a number of years ago, were for sure a memory about that 234 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:53.200 because the Max had just been released and it had just started flying and then 235 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.799 we had I think it was two crashes, right, yeah. And what 236 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:02.480 happened was that Boeing had totally read designed this aircraft, and the aircraft the 237 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:07.279 way it was, they had to move the engines slightly and it affected the 238 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.039 airflow over the aircraft so that when it was flying, there was this tendency 239 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.920 for the nose of the aircraft to nose up just a bit. Now in 240 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.200 flight, if it noses up too much, it disrupts the airflow over the 241 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.880 wings and it could create a stall, and a stall is very bad in 242 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.400 aviation. So the thought is that they would develop this software system that would 243 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:32.279 cause the aircraft nose to come down just a bit. If the program detected 244 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:36.440 that the nose was going up on the aircraft, it was an automatic system. 245 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.920 It is called the MCAST system, and it was new. So what 246 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:44.880 happened was they put it on this airplane and it malfunctioned, and it malfunctioned 247 00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:48.799 to the point that it took control of the airplane away from the pilots for 248 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:53.079 ten seconds as it tried to correct it, and then it would give pilots 249 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:57.400 control back for five seconds. And what happened was we had two crashes where 250 00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:03.440 pilots were fighting this new INCAST system, and here was the kicker. Boeing 251 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.559 told the pilots nothing about it, so they didn't know what they were fighting. 252 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.640 When American airline pilots went to Boeing engineers saying why didn't you tell us, 253 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.359 they said, well, we didn't want to inundate you with a lot 254 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:19.279 of needless information. It wasn't even the checklist in their cockpit. So Boeing 255 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:23.559 for a number of years has had issues with that system. They've since corrected 256 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.680 it, but it was obvious for a number of years they were hiding information 257 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:33.920 from pilots from airlines as well as the FAA inspectors. They were fined quite 258 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.079 a bit of money for that, and they promised to turn things around, 259 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.079 but here we are again just a few years later, where they're back to 260 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.960 producing airplanes that aren't really ready to fly. And the bottom line is Airbus, 261 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:49.640 which is the European aircraft manufacturer. They're kicking Boeing's butt right now. 262 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:56.440 I mean, they're producing and selling more airplanes than Boeing, and Boeing's try 263 00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.079 to keep up, and they're doing that by trying to rush the production and 264 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.160 and that's why we're seeing the problems we are. Wow, it's just so 265 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.799 scary. So it and since this happened, and thankfully nobody was hurt, 266 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:12.440 but since this happened, United and Alaska say they did find on their planes 267 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:19.119 some bolts that were loosened and so and some that weren't. Yeah, some 268 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.359 that just were barely put on by hand. You could tell that they had 269 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:30.319 just started to threat them so they could use the automated torquing system to tighten 270 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.200 them down. And those were never done. And some of the mechanics from 271 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.359 some of the airlines involved around the world have sent me pictures. It's unbelievable 272 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:42.079 that that could be considered done. Nobody would see it and it would go 273 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.839 on. And the issue with Boeing is a number of years ago, they 274 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.880 got rid of a lot of their inspectors. They started having their employees to 275 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:53.640 self check their own work. Now, some Boeing whistleblowers came out saying, 276 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:57.480 look, this is horrible because that extra set of eyes would catch a lot 277 00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:02.279 of problems that took place. Now that they've removed that, it's kind of 278 00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:03.599 like, you know, you're in high school, you grade your own test. 279 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.960 Okay, thank you very much. We've got an A plus here. 280 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.599 But the production schedule is so rushed right now, and that so much pressure. 281 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.359 We're being told on the Boeing employees that it's a matter of schedule as 282 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.359 king, we've got to get the airplane out. And you're right. Boeing 283 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:23.319 used to be the industry world leader in safety. They were the top of 284 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:27.880 the wrong but right now it almost seems as those safety is an afterthought. 285 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:33.200 And of course the CEO for Boeing is promising to be transparent, blah blah 286 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.680 blah. It's obvious that they didn't learn their lesson from just a few years 287 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:41.599 ago. They're still stuck on trying to rush planes through production, and that's 288 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.680 one of the reasons right now we're seeing a lot more airlines say look, 289 00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.039 I'm going to buy my future airplanes from air Bus instead of going with an 290 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.519 American made product because we simply can't trust now that those airplanes are going to 291 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.920 be safe to fly. And not only safe, this airplane that came out 292 00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:00.960 from Boeing for last airline was in service for ten weeks, so there's a 293 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.079 problem. And now you have to take all of those out of service for 294 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.400 like a week to inspect them. Well, for Alaska Airlines, that's twenty 295 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.279 percent of their fleet, So it's a really becomes an issue where even if 296 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.000 it's not dangerous, which this could have been, it's an inconvenience and it 297 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:19.279 affects your bottom line. And when that confidence starts to erode, it affects 298 00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:23.880 the decision makers for airlines and rightfully so to go with the product that they 299 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:27.920 can better trust. Yeah, and it's like in an effort to compete Boeing 300 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:33.519 and shooting themselves in the foot. You mentioned the cancelations, Alaska has grounded 301 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.039 its Max nine fleet until at least this weekend so they can expect the planes. 302 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.519 And that's one hundred and fifty flights a day, it is, and 303 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.039 that's just in friends selling those flights. It is, and you know, 304 00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.039 thankfully this wasn't a month ago when we were dealing with a lot of you 305 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:51.720 know, soon to be holiday travelers. But it's still not convenient because we're 306 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.920 still seeing a lot of people that are wanting to fly. I think United 307 00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.960 has seventy two of these, but it's only about eight percent of their fleet, 308 00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:02.119 so they're able to absorb this a little bit easier than Alaska Airlines. 309 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.160 But the real key is, and kind of the question lingering in a lot 310 00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.720 of people's minds. Are Okay, we had that issue at the end of 311 00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.079 December where they said look for bolts loose in this part. We are now 312 00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:15.839 finding loose bolts in this part. Are there other parts of the aircraft that 313 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.000 we're soon to find out that aren't properly secured that are going to start giving 314 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.119 us some problems? All right, Well, we will be watching and hopefully 315 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.279 this is going to lead to some changes in some fixes. So thank you 316 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:33.319 so much for your information and expertise. Jay Ratliff appreciated a ton, Always 317 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.039 my pleasure. Thank you. All right, Hey, this Sunday morning at 318 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.240 ten you can catch the action of the AFC Wildcard game between the Pittsburgh Steelers 319 00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:44.519 and the Buffalo Bills on your radio Home of the NFL AM five seventy LA 320 00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:48.160 Sports presented in part by Rotolo Chevrolet. See what the fun is all about 321 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.799 at Rotlo Chevrolet. Six crew members of board a Navy helicopter that crashed into 322 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:57.759 the San Diego Bay have been rescued from the water. Navy officials say the 323 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:02.880 MH sixty are our Seahawk helicopter went down last night during a training mission. 324 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:08.599 Happened around six forty near Naval Amphibious based Coronado. President Biden says the US 325 00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:14.960 and UK strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen are in direct response to Hoothy attacks 326 00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:18.279 against ships in the Red Sea. There have been twenty seven attacks. Biden 327 00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.720 says the attacks by the US and UK were done with the support of Australia, 328 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.759 Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands. Officials say the attacks hit over 329 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:32.559 a dozen Hoothy targets in Yemen, including radar systems and drone storage. A 330 00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:37.240 couple of Friends' scripts are being auctioned off. The scripts from the one with 331 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.640 Ross's Wedding Part one and Part two were supposed to have been destroyed after the 332 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.720 episodes were filmed in a suburb of London so that the ending wouldn't be leaked. 333 00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.839 But apparently a studio worker found the scripts in a dumpster, pulled them 334 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.519 out and put them in a drawer. The scripts are expected to be offered 335 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:55.839 up for between seven hundred and sixty and one thousand dollars. Seems like they 336 00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:02.079 would go for much much more than that. Hey, Hertz was all in 337 00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:06.079 for the electric cars, but now it's going to sell off a bunch of 338 00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:08.440 them. I'll tell you about that at five point fifty. What's new in 339 00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:12.119 the theaters this weekend and the critics have their say. On Sunday night, 340 00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.920 we're going to be talking with our entertainment guru, ABC's Jason Nathanson. But 341 00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:19.480 right now it's time to talk about your dream home. So let's say good 342 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.960 morning to the host of Home on KFI, the House Whisper. It's Dean 343 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:29.759 Sharp. Hey, Amy, how you doing. I am fabulous. You 344 00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:33.680 know We've talked several times about how, even though I'm not doing projects on 345 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.160 a home right now because I'm renting, I love listening to your show because 346 00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.720 you kind of explain things. So I'm super excited about what you're talking about 347 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:47.839 this weekend, and that is about building your dream home. Yeah, even 348 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.960 though I got to admit it's not the most exciting facet of building your dream 349 00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:57.799 home that we'll be talking about this weekend, but but it's super important, 350 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.640 and you know, I should just say we're starting something a little different this 351 00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:06.119 year. We're going to approach some of our topics a little differently this year. 352 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:10.920 Okay, Building your dream is a series that I'm starting this weekend. 353 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:12.960 I don't know exactly how long it's going to last us, and we'll have 354 00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.759 a few interruptions along the way, but we're going to attempt to take the 355 00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:22.960 process of building a dream home from step one to the end throughout the course 356 00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.559 of this year, for however long it takes us. So we're kind of 357 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.960 doing, you know, a little masterclass on how to move through the process 358 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:37.799 of building a dream home this weekend. Step one so exciting. Yeah, 359 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.960 No, fact, finding your property profile is basically what it comes down to. 360 00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:47.880 And when I throw that out there for exactly exactly, well, you 361 00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:49.559 know it's this, Before you play the game, you got to know the 362 00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:55.440 rules. Nobody lives in the middle of nowhere, anymore. There's no more 363 00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:57.960 unclaimed frontier where it's little house on the prairie and you're like, well, 364 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:03.440 this looks like a good spot to build the family home. Everybody, every 365 00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:08.359 house, everywhere, every square foot of buildable property anywhere in this country falls 366 00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:15.480 under some kind of governing jurisdiction. And to make the most of your money, 367 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:21.519 your time, your efforts, before you even start to get serious about 368 00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:29.119 design, a good conscientious homeowner should sub do their homework and pull up all 369 00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:36.039 of the regulations, limitations, the profile, the history of their home, 370 00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.240 their property. I don't know. It doesn't matter whether it's just an empty 371 00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:42.759 lot that's ready to build a brand new home or whether you're remodeling. There's 372 00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:48.000 a ton of stuff to learn about your home before you even get started. 373 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:53.119 Because and this is what's critical. I don't want to limit anybody's ability to 374 00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:56.319 dream or to build the home that they want. But I've seen so many 375 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:04.640 people waste time with all sorts of designs and investments into architects and contractors, 376 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.279 only to find out when they get to the city that somebody there is wagging 377 00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:11.920 their head saying you can't do that, you can't do that in this city. 378 00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.000 And if the city decides you can't do it, there's not a lot 379 00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:18.000 you can do about it, or can you appeal it. If you go, 380 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:21.079 oh, I want to do this, design in the city goes no. 381 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:23.319 Yeah, you know, people talk about that all the time. And 382 00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:27.839 I've been involved in a couple of appeals. One we actually moved forward, 383 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:33.440 with the other not. But by and large, these are hard and fast 384 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.039 rules. So an appeal has to have a very very strong case that something's 385 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:42.240 being interpreted wrong or something like that. So generally speaking, no, when 386 00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:45.680 the city says no, this is the way it's got to be, then 387 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.440 guess what. This is the way it has to be. And I know 388 00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:53.640 that sets kind of a bummer constraint on some projects, but I always say 389 00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:59.480 this as a designer, constraints catalyze our creativity, right, And so we 390 00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:02.720 got to we just need to know where's the envelope, you know, what 391 00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:06.279 are the boundaries that we're working in, and then we can, if we 392 00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:10.279 work hard enough, come up with something that works really, really well. 393 00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:14.559 But we don't want to waste our design time and our design money working on 394 00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:18.000 something that just is a pipe dream in terms of this property in this city, 395 00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:21.759 in this county, in this location. Okay, So here's a question 396 00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:23.880 for you, because so basically you're saying, you got to do your homework 397 00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:29.559 before you really get started with your project. Do you do it or do 398 00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.839 you have your designer do it, or your architect do it, or your 399 00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:37.839 contractor do it? Who does the homework? Well, most of the time 400 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.119 you're not going to have your contractor do it because a contractor, if if 401 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:45.799 we're building our dream in the proper order, comes along later down the road, 402 00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.759 we're not right there right now. Now. Some people have a friend 403 00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:52.839 who's a contractor who has experience, and they're going to do it as a 404 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.119 favor for them. That's, you know, fine, But generally speaking, 405 00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:00.119 for most people, the contractor is somebody who comes down the road. The 406 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.400 question is are you going to do it? Are you going to have your 407 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.279 architect or your design to do it? And that is really a question of 408 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.079 who do you want to pay to take the time to do all this. 409 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:14.519 So my encouragement this weekend, I'm going to be laying out the list of 410 00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:19.119 things to be look for, the profiling things that we want to find out, 411 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:22.160 the information that we want to find out about the property and The fact 412 00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:26.720 of the matter is that a homeowner can save themselves a lot of money if 413 00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:30.480 they just want to, you know, kind of hunker down, do their 414 00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:34.720 own homework, make a visit to the city, talk to the right people, 415 00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:38.759 find out what they need to find out, and then present that to 416 00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:42.160 your designer and say, okay, here's the profile of our property. Here's 417 00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:48.640 what we already know. Designers love it when you do that because we have 418 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.559 all the information we need right at the outset. Right, and then you're 419 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.480 not wasting your time either. Okay, So I just give us a couple 420 00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:59.680 of the things that we might not think of that are things that come into 421 00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.680 play that you have to consider. Well, okay, so you know, 422 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:04.839 right at the top of the list, and a lot of people don't know 423 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:12.240 that that their their property has a attract a parcel and a lot number on 424 00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:17.920 it on the tax assessors map. That's super easy. Yeah, it's not 425 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.960 exciting at all, it's not and yet it is literally step one. Nothing 426 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.240 moves forward without that right and and in most municipalities in California you can find 427 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.720 that out online. The county has tax assessor maps online. You enter your 428 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:36.240 address, you get your parcel number, dad that kind of stuff. The 429 00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:40.960 second question is who is actually in charge? You know in Los Angeles too, 430 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.920 exactly in Los Angeles it gets a little uh foggy sometimes because we don't 431 00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.039 know is this LA County? Is it LA City? Is it a local 432 00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:53.039 city with their own building department? Got to find out who's in charge the 433 00:31:53.200 --> 00:32:00.839 zoning designation. I'm shocked sometimes that more owners don't understand what their zone designation 434 00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:06.799 for their property is. That says an entire It says a huge amount about 435 00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:08.720 what you can and can't do. And by zoning, I mean are you 436 00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:14.240 zoned residential? What we call R one? Is it R A, which 437 00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:20.200 is residential slash agricultural. That's my property here. It's not an agricultural property. 438 00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:22.200 It's not, you know, a farm. But we are ra So 439 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:27.240 some folks in our neighborhood have large enough piece of property they can keep horses. 440 00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.480 Not me. I don't have the necessary square footage on my property, 441 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:37.119 but I have enough square footage to keep chickens and technically one goat, one 442 00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:39.559 goat. How do I know that? No, we don't. We don't 443 00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:44.039 have a goat chickens because we would like to have two goats. If we 444 00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:45.559 had a goat, we'd like to have two goats so they keep each other 445 00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:49.720 coming. But we have chickens, Yeah, we have chickens. So but 446 00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:53.200 the point is there's a there's a square footage cut off the size of the 447 00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:57.799 lot. If we were, you know, a few hundred feet larger our 448 00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.240 lot, then we would step up to the next level and be able to 449 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:06.519 have a different set of animals here on the property like some of my neighbors 450 00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:08.039 do. And if we are a little bit smaller, we couldn't even do 451 00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:14.319 the chickens. And that's the kind of information and profiling that I'm talking about 452 00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:17.799 for your property. Know your zoning, know what that means in your city, 453 00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.880 what's allowed, what's not allowed. We want to get a list as 454 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.640 best as possible of all the rules that we're going to have to work within, 455 00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:30.359 and then we start designing within those rules and not wasting time. I 456 00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:32.960 love it. Here's a couple others that I'm looking at on your list that 457 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.519 I know you're going to be going into a lot more detail this weekend. 458 00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:39.559 But things to think about, like how tall can your house be? Heighth 459 00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:44.880 limits, how much square footage can you put on your lot? Are there 460 00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:49.240 noise ordinances in your neighborhood and parking allowances. How many spaces do you have 461 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.920 to have? And that's just like a couple of the what twenty thirty different 462 00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.720 things that you need to look at. So I know you're going to dig 463 00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:59.480 deeper into it, and you say it might not be that interesting, but 464 00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:02.039 I've find it fascinating and I bet your listeners will too. And you can 465 00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:07.119 hear Dean Sharp this weekend. It's Home with Dean Sharp on KFI six to 466 00:34:07.159 --> 00:34:10.280 eight am Saturday, nine to noon on Sunday. You can also follow him 467 00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:15.079 on Instagram at Home with Dean. Thanks Dean, Thanks Amy. We're going 468 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:20.119 to do our best to keep it fun and informative. That's that you always 469 00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.920 do, you always do. Thanks so much. All right, let's get 470 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:25.320 back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four news from 471 00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:30.280 the Biden administration is about to cancel student loan debt for borrowers who took out 472 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.760 smaller loans and are still struggling to pay it off a decade later. You're 473 00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:37.599 paying it for ten years. It's enough. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says the 474 00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:43.960 Education Department will start automatically discharging debts next month for people who qualify and are 475 00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:47.599 enrolled in an income driven repayment plan rolled out last year. For those who 476 00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:54.039 have borrowed the twelve thousand or less after ten years, they would be receiving 477 00:34:54.119 --> 00:35:00.239 loan forgiveness. Nearly seven million borrowers are enrolled in the Save Replayment repayment program. 478 00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:05.000 More than forty people in San Diego who eight oysters from Mexico have been 479 00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:08.679 infected with neurovirus UGH. The county Health Department has told restaurants not to sell 480 00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:14.599 Rocky Point oysters from the Sonora region in northwest Mexico. The cases have been 481 00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.800 linked to several restaurants, including the Fish Shop in Pacific Beach Point Loma and 482 00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:22.519 Encinitas, and the Carlsbad Aqua Farm. And Crews at the California Science Center 483 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:27.920 are in the process of lifting a massive external fuel tank into its upright position. 484 00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:30.599 It's part of the launch ready display of the Space Shuttle Endeavor, which 485 00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:35.400 is still a couple years away. The tank is going to fit between two 486 00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:39.440 already standing solid rocket motors. It's not clear when the shuttle is going to 487 00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:45.039 be moved from its existing horizontal display and be lifted upright, but officials are 488 00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:47.480 saying it'll happen in the coming weeks. Tonight, the Clippers take on the 489 00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:52.559 Memphis Grizzlies, with tip off at five on your home of Clippers Basketball AM 490 00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.239 five seventy LA Sports. Brought to you by your Southern California Toyota dealers. 491 00:35:55.559 --> 00:36:00.119 We make it easy. A second avalanche has come down in Lake Tahoe, 492 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:05.519 near where an avalanche killed a man on Wednesday. SKI patrol searched the area 493 00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.119 with dogs, probes and beacons yesterday and said no one was hurt in the 494 00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:13.360 avalanche. The areas expecting another foot of snow as a new storm moves in. 495 00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:16.719 Avalanche danger was in the high category, it's now going to be moderate 496 00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:22.400 today. Israel says the war in Gaza is not intended to destroy the Palestinian 497 00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:25.840 people, and Israeli lawyer made that argument today in the International Court of Justice 498 00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:30.639 in the Hague, where Israel is defending itself against accusations of genocide by South 499 00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:36.119 Africa in its Wargans Tomas, A bipartisan bill introduced in the House would allow 500 00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:39.440 commercial pilots to make reports about UFO sidings to the Federal government. The bill 501 00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:45.840 was put up after military officials testified about unidentified objects out maneuvering jets. The 502 00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:53.199 legislation would also allow air traffic controllers to make reports A president or former President 503 00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:59.159 Trump wasn't supposed to talk and closing arguments for his civil fraud trial yesterday, 504 00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:01.719 but he was able to get in a few words and was going to check 505 00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:06.440 in on that. Right now. Let's say good morning to ABC's entertainment guru, 506 00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:13.079 Jason Nathan's and Jason, let's get mean Yeah. Sure, we got 507 00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.000 the Mean Girls coming out this weekend. Mean Girls is out this weekend, 508 00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:22.320 the musical version of the original two thousand and four movie, which then went 509 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:24.840 on to become a Broadway musical. So this is the screen version of that, 510 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:28.679 And this is like the Color Purple thing. It came out as a 511 00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:30.960 movie, then went to Broadway, became a musical, and now it's a 512 00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:36.679 musical movie exactly. But there was a lot more time between the Color Purple 513 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.679 and when it came out in the theaters and then went to Broadway and then 514 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:44.199 became a musical. This is, you know, two thousand and four, 515 00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:47.679 Yes that's twenty years ago, but I think Mean Girls is one of those 516 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:52.599 films that is still on people's minds. They still watch it, they still 517 00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.599 quote it, they still love it. And you know, it feels a 518 00:37:55.679 --> 00:38:00.480 little soon. So when you're going into your like, okay, you're already 519 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:02.119 you got your guard up a little bit, You're like, impress me do 520 00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:07.559 something better than the original. Did make this better in some way, and 521 00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:12.480 unfortunately it just I'd rather go watch the original film, Okay, not that 522 00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:15.280 this is bad. And the you know, the performances are good. And 523 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:19.199 you have Angery Rice, who plays the Katie Herron role, which was made 524 00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:22.880 famous by Lindsay Loewen, her first kind of adult role. Remember, she 525 00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:28.039 had been in Parent Trap and Freaky Friday and a couple of kids movies before 526 00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:30.400 that, but this is the first role that really kind of broke her out 527 00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:36.239 and she was fantastic in that, and the rest of the cast was so 528 00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:39.400 good, and the cast here is good. Reginia, the Regina George role, 529 00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:44.039 is played by Renee Rapp, who is an up and coming actress and 530 00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:46.880 also a great singer. The songs, to me don't really add a whole 531 00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:52.920 lot to this, normally they don't. Anyway. I'm not a huge musical 532 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:57.519 fan, but I do like the genre and like it on this stage. 533 00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.639 That's where I like. The musical is better. Yeah, and that's where 534 00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:05.719 I think this probably should have stayed. I think people who went and saw 535 00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:08.599 the Broadway version loved that as well. It did very, very well. 536 00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:14.679 It was very successful. But this you're just going to compare it to the 537 00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:17.760 original, and I would say the original is still fresh enough. It doesn't 538 00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:22.320 feel like an old movie at all or dated it anyway, you know, 539 00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:24.679 kind of just watch the original that it's going to do well this weekend. 540 00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:29.119 It's going to top the box office and they're looking at I think thirty million 541 00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:31.440 dollars for the extended holiday weekend. Okay, And if you don't want to 542 00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:37.599 head out to the theaters this weekend, we have new streaming on Hulu called 543 00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:40.079 Self Reliance. What's that? Yeah? This is a movie from Jake Johnson, 544 00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:44.960 who you might remember from New Girl. He wrote and directed and stars 545 00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:49.639 in this. This is his directorial film directorial debut. He plays a guy 546 00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:52.880 who can win a million dollars if he survives for thirty days on a dark 547 00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:59.880 web reality show in which he's being hunted, and he figures out a loophole 548 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.960 in which that he can if he's with somebody the whole time, they can't 549 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.679 kill him. So he has to be with somebody, has to find somebody 550 00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:09.840 to stay with him the whole time. So it's kind of his quest to 551 00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:14.800 find somebody who will stay with him. You know, his family doesn't believe 552 00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:17.559 that he's actually telling the truth, and the whole thing it devolves into it's 553 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:22.719 a dark comedy, and it devolves into it gets darker and darker, and 554 00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:27.039 the whole time you're wondering, is this real? Is this actually happening? 555 00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:30.119 And he plays a lot with that. I like the way that he does 556 00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:34.679 play with that. Anna Kendrick also co stars. Yeah, and she's great 557 00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:37.480 and just about everything. I wanted this to be a little sharper, a 558 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:40.400 little funnier, to make it kind of an instant classic, because I really 559 00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:44.599 do love the premise. And when I talked to Jake Johnson, he said 560 00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:50.000 he based it off a Japanese game show in the late nineteen nineties where a 561 00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:53.000 guy was stuck in an apartment with nothing. He was naked. This actually 562 00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:57.280 aired on Japanese television. He was naked and stuck in an apartment. He 563 00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.239 couldn't leave, and he didn't have anything food, he had no clothes, 564 00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:04.320 he had no you know, nothing in the apartment, and he had to 565 00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:09.880 win little prizes by there were I thinks like newspaper cutouts and coupons and things. 566 00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:13.920 He had to win prizes. So like at one point he won a 567 00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:15.800 bag of rice and he was so excited, and then he had nothing to 568 00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:20.920 cook the rice in. And so Jake Johnson kind of took that premise and 569 00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:23.599 expanded it into this, and I think it's, you know, a very 570 00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:29.920 interesting meditation on the loneliness we face today, the isolation that we faced today, 571 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:34.800 and other kind of social stuff. So I like the areas he explores. 572 00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:38.840 It's not quite there, but I did enjoy it. Okay. So 573 00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:43.840 whether you're staying home or going to the theaters, you have options this weekend. 574 00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:46.679 Thank you so much, Jason Nathanson. If you want to follow Jason, 575 00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:52.960 go to at ABC News. Jason, have a great weekend, you 576 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:54.239 too. Take care. All right, here are some of the stories. 577 00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:57.920 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 578 00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:01.760 our newsroom. US and British militaries have joined forces in a massive retaliatory strike 579 00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:07.559 against Iranian back Houthi rebels in Yemen. Retired US Marine Colonel Steve Ganyard says 580 00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:12.239 they don't want to just go after individual launchers and drone sites. They want 581 00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:17.159 to be able to take out all of the Houthy military capabilities of disrupting commercial 582 00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:21.639 shipping in the Red Sea. Ganyard says that's why they took out more than 583 00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:24.760 a dozen larger targets where Hooty weapons could be stored in Yemen. The Houti 584 00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:29.239 say at least five people were killed. President Biden says the strikes yesterday were 585 00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:34.800 to show the US and its allies will not tolerate the group's ceaseless attacks on 586 00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:37.320 the Red Sea. Protesters have gathered in front of the White House to condemn 587 00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:42.440 the US for its strikes in Yemen. Crowds could be heard last night chanting 588 00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:45.800 hands off Yemen. Now. Some warned there's a real danger of triggering a 589 00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:52.159 regional war in the Middle East. Fruit Striped gum has been discontinued. The 590 00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:53.880 gum in the colorful pack with the zebra on front. It was one of 591 00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:58.239 my favorites as a kid, has been around since nineteen sixty nine. The 592 00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:01.119 company that makes it says that is decision to sunset the product was not taken 593 00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:07.199 lightly, and that many factors were considered. What other things do the makers 594 00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:14.280 of fruit stripe gum make? Fundip gobstoppers and nerds.
