You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Good morning, five o'clock. Time to get
up, get to work, get out, got my coffee ready to go.
Just found out it's chicken and waffles day. I think that that means
there may be a little Rosco's in my future later today. Oh my gosh,
that's so good. The first time I went there, I had the
best waiter and he was like, well, try this and try this,
and did you put the hot sauce on it? And I was like,
chicken and waffles and syrup and hot sauce, and he goes, Yep,
it's good. Yeah, it doesn't sound like it, but if you haven't
tried it, chicken and waffles, highly recommend it. Here's what's ahead on
wake Up Call. Israel's defense minister says that after crushing Hamas, the military
does not plan to control life in Gaza Strip. Israel is bombarding Gaza,
hitting areas in the south where Palestinians have been told to seek safety. Israel
also started evacuating a larger town in the north near the Lebanese border, the
latest sign of a potential ground invasion. The Eli County Sheriff's Department Retailed Crime
Task Force says it has made eighty nine arrests in its first five weeks.
Sheriff Robert Luna says the task force has also recovered six guns and three hundred
and seventy thousand dollars in stolen merchandise. The task force was formed in response
to rise in mob style and smash and grab robberies at retail stores across the
county. Private Travis King has been charged with desertion and several other crimes.
He's the guy who ran across the DMZ from South into North Korea over the
summer. He was kicked out of North Korea last month and returned to the
US. He's being held at Fort Bliss, Texas. We got a lot
ahead for you. On wake up call. We're going to be talking about
a celebration of P twenty two happening this weekend at Griffith Park. Even though
P twenty two is gone, we just can't get enough of AI. Also,
we'll be talking to Jordana Miller who's in Israel in just a minute,
and Jason Nathanson. We'll be chatting with him too. There's a movie and
I tell you you better bring a sleeping bag because it's a long one.
Oh and also the house whisper Dean Sharp's going to be with us at five
thirty five. So, like I said, so much going on. I
hope you'll stick around for all of it. Let's get started with some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news reel. Awesome Footin
represent different threats, but they share this in common. They both want to
completely annihilate a neighboring democracy. President Biden has addressed America's role in helping Israel
and Ukraine. He said last night at the Oval Office that it's vital for
US national security. They both succeed in their wars. American values what make
us a partner the other nations want to work with. Put all that at
risk. If we walk away from Ukraine, we turn our backs on Israel.
It's just not worth it. Biden says alliances are what keeps America safe.
He sent it for proposal to Congress today, seeking roughly one hundred billion
dollars in military assistance for both countries. Governor Newsim says he will visit Israel
before he heads to a planned trip to China. He'll be meeting with people
impacted by the terrorist attacks, and we'll offer California's support while he's there.
In his offices. The state's also sending medical supplies another aid to the region,
including Gaza. Newsom will arrive in Israel today and then we'll visit Beijing,
Shanghai, and Hong Kong on his seven day trip. People have gathered
to remember the four Pepperdine University students killed by a car on pch Student Andrew
Choi tells KTLA a lot of classes were canceled yesterday as students mourned. Even
just like walking around on campus, you can definitely notice that there's a lot
less people, and yeah, it just feels heavier. The candlelight vigil came
after a prayer service was held on campus. Billy say the four women were
killed when a speeding driver hit them Tuesday night. The driver has been released
from custody. A new survey of six hundred and forty two homeless people in
Orange County say most would accept help getting off the street. Host The Office
of Care Coordination Director Doug Beck says about half were already enrolled or would want
substance use or mental health help, but fewer than half said no one had
offered them any services in the last three months. Our survey results show that
when people are considering going into shelter, the main things they're considering are their
safety, personal space, and respect from the other people and the staff at
the facility says. The goal is to determine why the majority of those surveyed
already have insurance yet are not using the services. In Orange County, Corbin
Carson kf I News CBS has pulled some common cold medicines from its shelves.
They say they're not going to sell them anymore. An FDA committee voted last
month on whether phenol ephrine, which is an active ingredient in the cold medicines,
is an effective nasal decongestant. They ultimately determined that it's not. Products
like pseuda fed pe sinus conjection congestion and Benadryl allergy plus congestion will no longer
be sold in CBSS. It's five oh six on your wake up call.
Let's say good morning to ABC's Geordana Miller in Jerusalem. Geordana Israel's military apparently
has given the green light to move into Gaza. What's the latest. There's
no ground incursion yet. What the Defense minister is calling the second stage of
this war just hasn't begun yet. And we're even hearing hints that may not
be a ground invasion. Perhaps there will be a first start with more aerial
bombardments, bombings, maybe it'll be something from the sea. Ultimately, you
will have to be some kind of ground invasion because you cannot get Hamas out
of the Gazas trip without going in. There's tunnels, there's all kinds of
different hiding spots, and it's this amount a war that can be one from
the air, but the actual ground incursion has not begun yet. Okay,
And you mentioned the tunnels, and I know that there's been lots of rumblingness
about that the tunnel network in Gaza is extensive. But how extensive is it?
Oh? It is a very very sophisticated tunnel of networks that the militant
group has spent more than ten years building, right, and they run for
miles and miles. The central kind of meeting point is underneath Gaza City,
which is why these really know they need to go into Gaza City at some
point and even a vast paviliing to clear out of that area. But they
have electricity systems, air conditioning systems, sleeping quarters, places for storage of
weapons, whether those are ammunition or rockets or rocket launchers. I mean they
are virtually, you know, an underground city, if you will, And
some of them for a while reached all the way underneath Israeli territory. Right
even though this surprise attack came over land. There are some suspicions that there
were a couple of tunnels as well, because years ago militants had used some
of those tunnels. Israel had tried to destroy or block most of them,
but you know, they may have missed with a couple of those tunnels.
So this is a key part of Hamas's military infrastructure that Israel's vowing to destroy,
okay, And the tunnels are also a place where Israel believes the hostages
are being held there, at least some of them. Well, some could
be in these tunnels, but some could be in other very deep underground bunkers
where military leaders themselves take shelter from Israel's bombardments, from the sky bombings.
There's a very well known deep bunker underneath, for example, Gaza's main hospital
in Gaza City, some of the hostages may be there. The numbers are
so huge, right, we know at least two hundred and three hostages the
militant groups say two fifty. Now the Israelis are saying anywhere from one to
four hundred. Additional Israelis maybe on a missing list. So it's just,
you know, there's a lot of hostages. They may have been broken up
into different groups, and even if they're dead, that forbid. And you
know, experts here will tell you there are probably some that are dead based
on the injuries we see from videos before they were taken into captivity. Still
they will try to keep those bodies because they think they'll be useful for some
kind of prisoner exchange. Of course, Israel's not interested in any prisoner exchange.
Not now. Yeah, and right now I'm hearing that Israel is saying
that they believe most of the hostages are still alive. Though is that is
that true? They have not really commented on whether they're alive or they are
dead, or their location, but I can tell you that it's pretty extraordinary.
We're learning now that many of Israel's premiere high tech companies, hacking experts,
cyber experts, facial recognition experts, algorithm experts have essentially offered their services
and are working with the government and with the army to locate the hostages wherever
they may be. You know, people who are experts in cell data.
These are people who are not even you know, who may be older and
not in reserve units, maybe too young and not even you know, have
not they may not be in their service yet. But these are kind of
a broad sloth of high tech experts and some of them competitors who are working
together to locate and they won't talk about much of what they're doing, but
they are fully engaged. Okay, Well, let's hope that they find them
and can figure a way to get them out, and then we'll have to
wait and see. Like you said, no ground incursion yet, but right,
god willing. Because there are Americans among those hostages. We now,
yeah, probably probably dozens, dozens they're saying, yes, okay, doesn't
because there's a lot of dual national Okay, yeah, I think that's more
than we originally were hearing from the White House. They were saying it was
a very small number. Right, Well, there are confirmed eleven missing out
of two hundred and three, but now that we know there's another I think
that number is low anyway, But now that we know there's another two hundred,
you know that those numbers I think will be revised sadly. Yeah,
all right, thank you so much, Jordana. I appreciate all the information
as always, and we will talk to you again soon. Talk. All
right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Republican Jim Jordan's office says a third round of voting
for how Speaker is said to happen today. He's just been talking to out
a press conference and says a vote is going to happen after the press conference,
so we'll be waiting for that to happen in the next couple of hours.
And La County Sheriff's deputy has been seriously hurt during a chase in West
Hollywood. Police A deputies responded to a report of a burglary yesterday and started
chasing the suspect of the car near San Vase and Cynthia Street. Officials say
when the chase ended, the deputy was injured, but they didn't say how
the deputy was taken to a hospital is in stable but critical condition. Officials
say the burglar or burglars got away. Billy say a man who crashed a
car at the Chinese consulate in San Francisco had a crossbow and arrows on him.
Body camera footage released yesterday shows a sergeant running through the broken glass doors
of the buildings. The sergeant trying to arrest the suspect. The suspect appears
to start swinging a knife, and the sergeant shoots. Additional officers then try
to find the man's knife. ABC's Andrea FUJII says the man died at the
hospital. Earlier this month, about seven hundred healthcare workers at a medical center
in Burbank are planning a five day strike. The employees at Providence Saint Joseph
Medical Center say severe understaffing and high turnover are impacting patient care. They say
the strike will start Monday because of bad faith bargaining by hospital management. Ker's
labor contract expired in August. The latest talks between the union and the hospital
were last week. The same day, the union issued at ten day strike
notice, so Providence Saint joes that's where I got to spend like a week
in the hospital, and I will tell you the nurses and the doctors,
they were all fabulous. Ford Mortar Company has announced more layoffs as the more
than month long UAW strike continues. Ford says and additional one hundred and fifty
workers have been temporarily laid off. Negotiations with the Big three automakers seem to
installed, and as the strike rolls on, supplies of some of the most
popular vehicle models are starting to dwindle. When we come back, we're going
to be telling you about a big celebration for LA's most famous mountain Lion,
remember p. Twenty two. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. President Biden says support is vital for America's national security. In
an Oval office address last night, Biden talked about the need for billions of
dollars in military assistance for Israel and Ukraine. The President also wants money for
the defense of Taiwan and for managing migrants at the US's southern border. Governor
Newsom is headed to Israel ahead of a trip to China. His office says
the trip was a last minute addition to his already scheduled trip, he'll meet
with victims of the Israel Hamas war. Newsom has said California is going to
provide medical aid and supplies to the region, including Gaza. Jury selection starts
in Atlanta today. In the twenty twenty election interference case, the Fulton County
DA FAWNI Willis has charged nineteen people, including former President Trump, with participating
in an alleged criminal conspiracy to overturn George's presidential election results. At six oh
five, it's handled. On the news, Jim Jordan says he's going to
continue to fight to become the Speaker of the House. There may be a
third vote coming this morning. Right now, let's say good morning to the
regional executive director of the National Wildlife Federation, Beth Pratt. Beth, good
morning, good morning, Thanks for having me, Thanks for coming on and
getting up early with us today. So P twenty two is gone, but
our obsession over this beautiful and famous animal just lives on. So tell us
about the big celebration happening this weekend for P twenty two. Yeah, you
know, I think he's passed, but for a lot of us, I
think it's still raw. People around the world still are grieving. And we
have our eighth annual P twenty two Day Festival coming up, which I think
is just almost like a second celebration of lives. Fifteen thousand people attended last
year. It's free and open to the public, and it really is about
Angelino's coming together, celebrating not just P twenty two, but our connections to
him, are connections to each other and how we coexist with wildlife in the
second largest city in the country. Okay, And where is it and when
is it? Yeah, it's Sunday, October twenty second, which October twenty
second is an official day in P twenty two's honor declared by the City of
Los Angeles. It's in Griffith Park and Shane's Inspiration from eleven to four at
Shane's Inspiration. Okay. And if they want to find out exactly where they
that is, where would they find that online? Yeah, you can go
to Wwwsavelacougars dot org and there's a page dedicated to the P twenty two Day
Festival. In all our events, which are We've had a whole week of
events what we call P twenty two Week. I love to celebrate P.
Twenty two. And at the festival you're going to have, it's not just
like a hey, we're here to celebrate P. Twenty two. It's a
full on festival with food trucks and entertainment and stuff. Yeah, it's you
know P. Twenty two. We'll be talking a lot about them. But
there's a you know, dozens and dozens of exhibits, booths, we have
live music, We'll have some special guests that come. We have food trucks
with LA's finest, finest cuisine. I mean it's just a really big deal.
I mean, this cat deserves it. Yeah. Why are people so
obsessed Beth with P. Twenty two? Yeah? You know, I think
there's a couple of things. One, he was a Hollywood underdog, right,
and this is Hollywood. We love a good story. You know,
he made a perilous journey and made a home in Griffin Park for most of
his life. But he was kind of trapped in this lonely bachelor and who
in LA can't identify with the four or five impacting your dating life? Right?
But I also think he connected us to something deeper, which was this
connection to wildness that we thought had been lost in La and there was this
mountain lion who said, Nope, even in the second largest city, wild
wildlife still stands. So I think I think it was something deeper for a
lot of us. Yeah, And so even though he is gone and you
know, ultimately being living here was kind of a detrimental to him, I
would say, his legacy lives on. And one of the things that I'm
not sure if P twenty two inspired this, but one of the things you
guys are working on is that wildlife. Then the wallas Annenberg Wildlife Crossing.
Yes, he absolutely inspired that. It was his story that really can tell
people, you know, not just to love him, but to act.
And here we are, this wildlife crossing is underway. You know, we
raised over one hundred billion dollars with him as the poster cat of the campaign
because he made the you know this of science of connectivity real. You know,
his his flight, his being trapped on this urban island, I think
really woke people up to what our roads do. So, yes, here
we are with the world largest wildlife crossing underway because of him. That's so
exciting and it's going to be done in twenty twenty five, is that right?
Yeah? Looking like at this point twenty twenty five and maybe early twenty
twenty six, but so far on track to be there. And we can
drive by it on the one oh one. Construction is underway. It's the
Liberty Canyon exit in the Gore Hills. Or you can go to one on
one Wildlife Crossing dot org and we have a live construction camera on it so
you can tune in and check out the progress from your own home. I
love that, Okay, So once again a reminder this Sunday from eleven to
four it's the eighth annual p twenty two day Festival at Griffith Park and should
be nice weather and a wonderful time to come out and celebrate Hollywood and southern
California and maybe the world's most famous cat. Yes, all right, thank
you such all right, thank you so much, Beth Pratt. Appreciate your
time this morning. Yep, thanks for having me. Let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Israel
has hit Gaza in southern areas where Palestinians have been told to seek saferey safety.
Israel also started evacuating a town in the north near its border with Lebanon.
It's said to possibly be a sign of the Defense Force's potential for a
ground invasion of Gaza. The Israeli military says it hit more than one hundred
targets across Gaza linked to the territory's Hamas leaders, including a tunnel and arms
depots. Israel's defence minister said yesterday troops should prepare to see Gaza from the
inside. The Ministry of Health in Gaza says more than three hundred Palestinians have
been killed in the last twenty four hours. ABC's Andrew Dimbert says that brings
the death toll in Gaza to more than thirty seven hundred. Conditions are becoming
more dire by the hour. People left without food, water, and medicine.
Surgeries at some hospitals are reportedly being done without anesthetic. Satellite images show
hundreds of Israeli tanks and armored vehicles north of Gaza. The nation's defence minister
says again they'll soon be seeing Gaza from the inside. Californians could be seeing
the price of pork rise as a new pig farming law takes effect. Prop
twelve requires pork farmers to keep pigs out of confined cages. That means farmers
have to add to or change their current setup. Those changes could be costly,
and that cost could be put on shoppers by raising the price of pork
altogether. The prop was approved in twenty eighteen, but the state allowed farmers
extra time to make the required changes. Officials say the law could raise pork
prices by eight percent. Pete says this is one victory, but the fight
is far from over. Chris Adler KFI News for people from la Utah and
Oregon have been charged for allegedly stealing dinosaur bones from public lands in Utah and
selling them to China. When dinosaur bones and other paleontological resources are removed from
their primary location, and especially when they are further processed, they lose almost
all scientific value. US attorney Trina Higgins says the group took one hundred and
fifty thousand pounds of paleonal paleontological Yeah, I'm not going to try that.
Resources include dinosaur bones that appeared to have been polished and cut into art and
jewelry. And John Stamos says he was sexually abused as a child by his
babysitter. He wrote about the alleged abuse in his memoir If You would Have
Told Me, he told People Magazine. Writing the book helped him acknowledge what
happened. Over the years, Stamos used his platform to advocate for kids.
He's a celebrity ambassador for child help and organization that helps victims of child abuse.
When we come back, we're going to be getting spooky with the house
whisperer Dean Sharp and how to live in a house that may whisper back at
you. We're talking haunted houses. Israel's defense minister says that after crushing Hamas,
the military does not plan to control life in the Gaza strip. Israel
has been bombarding Gaza, hitting areas in the south where Palestinians had been told
to seek safety. There are signs that the ground invasion could start at any
time, but nothing is set yet. A federal judge in San Diego has
overturned California's ban on assault weapons for a second time, saying prohibits guns that
are no more dangerous than weapons that aren't banned in the state. Governor Newsom
called it a direct insult to every victim of a mass shooting and their families.
Private Travis King has been charged with desertion and several other crimes. He's
the guy who ran across the DMZ from South into North Korea over the summer.
He was kicked out of North Korea and returned to the US last month.
He's being held at Fort Bliss, Texas. At six oh five,
it's handle on the news. President Biden is asking for one hundred billion dollars
in funding for Ukraine and Israel. He made his appeal to the American people
last night in a national address from the Oval Office. If I point fifty,
we're going to be talking with ABC's Jason Nathanson. A new marathon movie's
hit in theaters this weekend. Jason's going to tell us whether it's worth your
time. And also the question of who are you wearing takes on new meaning
in Hollywood this Halloween. We'll tell you why. But right now, so
it's time to wake up with the house Whisperer. Good morning, Dean Sharp,
host of Home with Dean Sharp, right here on KFI. Good morning
Amy. So, with Halloween around the corner, we know you're the house
Whisperer, So let's talk a little bit about houses that whisper back. Sometimes
they do, sometimes they do. All right, So let me just set
up this weekend because we're having some fun this weekend. I love that on
the show. Every time I get close to Halloween, I try and mix
it up a little bit. One thing that we do every year is this
show called Living in a Haunted House Haunted in air quotes there, which is
just code for, you know, there are weird noises and behaviors that our
houses do sometimes that you know, could be sort of interpreted as haunted squeaks
and pops and rumbles and rattles and all sorts of stuff. That's just our
way of having a little fun talking about how do you fix that stuff?
You know, where's it really coming from? It? How do you fix
it because A it's not haunted. Yes, sorry, yeah, yeah exactly.
But on Sunday, on Sunday, I'm very excited because we're actually talking
about a southern California haunted house. The historic Kellogg House down in Orange County
in Santa Anna. It's at the Heritage Museum of Orange County. Is a
one hundred and twenty five year old Queen Anne Victorian home just classically that style
of architecture. That's an American haunted house. It also happens to be haunted.
So I happen to know one of the docents who does ghost tours for
Haunted OC. She happens to be my sister, Darcy, who is also
an adjunct professor at cal State Fullerton, but part time she loves doing ghost
tours with Haunted OC. So we're gonna be giving tickets away for the Haunted
O c Kellogg House ghost Tour. I'm going to talk architecture of the house.
Darcy's gonna tell us ghost stories. It's gonna be a great Sunday pne
that sounds like fun. I like it, And on Saturday like give us.
You're going to talk about the living in a haunted house and basically fixing
the things that are broken? What are what are some of the things that
people might run into that they might perceive as a haunted house, but really
it's just a need in need of a fix. Well. One of the
things that really unnerves people, And if you've ever heard this happen to you,
it's just what is going on with my home? And that is you
know, turn on a faucet and you hear this weird shudder and sort of
hammering banging sound in the walls, and you know it's people usually aren't worried
about it, but they're like, what is that? What is going on?
And it's what we call water hammer, and there is no way to
anticipate it. It's not the sign of a bad plumbing job. The weird
thing about plumbing in a house is that essentially you're building, when you plumb
a house, a very very large, extensive, kind of potentially musical instrument.
I mean, there are these with energy and stuff running through them,
and sometimes just because of this bend and that bend and the way the pipe
runs in this direction, it creates cavitation. Cavitation is when water gets disrupted
as it turns a bend or turns a corner, and that cavitation can result
in literally rattling the pipes. Is that basically an air pocket. It's not
necessarily an air pocket. It just has to do with the disruption of the
water. Is it turns a corner. You know, water doesn't want to
turn corners, you know, any easier than we do or anything else,
and so it can actually just pick up a lot of vibrational energy when it
does that. So some people will turn it and you may hear a squeal.
You may hear this rattling and what we traditionally just call water hammer.
The good news is that for about thirty bucks, the water hammer arrestor,
it's a little six inch long piece of pipe is what it looks like.
Inside, it basically is shock absorber for water. And you can have these
installed in various locations up in the attic or wherever you can get to your
pipes, and usually one or two near the area that is causing noise is
enough to absorb that and to quiet your pipes down. Okay, so I
know we don't have a ton of time, but I want to ask you
about a couple more things. One, lights that flicker they always worry me
in an old house because I'm worried that there's a short and it's going to
cause a fire. Yeah, lights that flicker in an old, old house
may actually be the result of one or two things. One, you may
just have an old dimmer switch or an old switch, and old switches.
You know, switches do eventually wear out. They do. Even though they
can last for decades, a switch can wear out, and so when you
flip a switch, it's not a danger. It's just that the contact that
is inside the switch, that's trying to make the electrical contact, may be
making intermittent contact, and that as a result, is making that happen.
The other thing that happens to brand new houses that people freak out about is
that they've got a dimmer switch. Let's say, you know, in their
living room lights or their dining room light, and they go to dim it
down and all of a sudden, the light is doing like a disco strobe
effect on them, and they don't understand why. That has nothing to do
with the wiring. It has to do with the fact that new LED bulbs,
when you buy LED bulbs for your chandelier or your lights or your recess
can lights, if there is a dimmer switch controlling them, you have to
buy dimmable LEDs. If you don't buy dimmable LEDs, and there it's about
fifty to fifty out there. If they're non dimmable LEDs, then when you
start to reduce the voltage to them, they'll start strobing out on you.
Okay, and then one last one, because this happens to me all the
time. I have a very old house that I'm living in right now,
and I think it's when the weather gets warm, the wood swells and the
front door sticks. Yeah. Absolutely, can you fix exolutely common? Yeah,
you know, normally the way to fix that. And this is just
a side effect of living in houses that are essentially made out of wood,
and wood reacts to temperature differences. It simply means that the door probably needs
to be planed down or sanded down a little bit because it was installed just
a little too tight to the tolerances of the jam. The way a good
door sits inside a door jam, there should be a bit of a gap,
enough gap so that as the door expands and contracts, it doesn't eventually
end up making contact with the jam. And if it is during definitely temperature
changes, that's what's happening. And the door just needs to be planed back
a little bit. Okay. See, and Dean's going to tell you more
about squeaks and creeks and all kinds of weird things going on in your house
and how you can fix them on Saturday, and then I'm looking forward to
this on Sunday, the historic Kellogg House. H that's right, that's right,
a real haunted house. Very Thank you so much, Dean. You
can hear Dean again Saturday from to eight am and then Sunday from nine to
noon, and he's the host of Home with Dean Sharp right here on KFI.
Thanks Dean, Thanks Deane. October is Breast cancer Awareness month. iHeartRadio
Los Angeles as teamed up with ABC seven and would love to get closer to
a world without breast cancer. For our moms, our sisters, daughters,

sign up to walk alongside patients, survivors, neighbors and families, go to
Coman dot org. Getting your day started with us. Your Friday in a
cool down this weekend, and I'm heading to Rosco's for chicken and waffles.
I'm obsessing about it now. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. By the way, it's chicken and Waffle Day. President Biden
says support is vital for America's national security. In an Oval office address,
Biden talked about the need for billions of dollars in military assistant for Israel and
Ukraine. Governor Newsom is headed to Israel. His office says the trip was
a last minute addition to his already scheduled seven day trip to China. He's
going to be meeting with victims of the Israel Hamas war. Newsom has said
California's going to provide medical aid and supplies to the region, including Gaza.
Jury' selection starts in Atlanta today. In the twenty twenty election interference case,
Fulton County DA Fanie Willis has charged nineteen people, including former President Trump,
with participating in an alleged criminal conspiracy to overturn George's presidential election results. We're
just minutes away from handling the news. This morning, protesters gathered outside Kamala
Harris's house in Brentwood to call for a ceasefire in Israel. The Vice President,
of course, wasn't home. Right now, Let's say good morning to
ABC's entertainment guru Jason Nathans and Jason three and a half hours yes, stock
up on a chicken and to get yourself got a card load. Yeah,
see Killers of the Flower Moon, which is Martin Scorsese's latest film, which
is in theaters this weekend. This is an Apple TV Plus movie. Uh.
But part of the deal with Scorsese when you want to get Scorsese,
he's he demanded that, And I don't know if he demanded, but he
said that he wanted this film in theaters. So it is starting it's theater
run today and will eventually be streaming. But I don't think we actually know
when yet because they want to get people in theaters to see it, or
he you know, he would like you to see it in a theater.
But three and a half hours. That means you have to regulate your liquids.
You gotta know, you know, you got to you gotta plan for
something like that, which I did, and I got to say, I
didn't check my phone to see what time it was until about three hours into
the movie. So that's a good sign, right, Well, what did
you check your phone? Because you went, geez, this is really long.
I wanted to see. I wanted to see where we were in the
whole process. Yes, that was at the point where I wanted to know
Okay, how much time do I have left? Not that I wasn't enjoying
it, I just wanted to see because it goes into kind of a different
phase of the movie at around that point. So look, this is a
beautifully done film. If you don't know the basic story, it's about the
Osage nation who became very, very rich at the turn of the twentieth century
because oil was discovered on their land. And when that happens, the white
interlopers move in, come to town, and things never go well. When
the white interlopers come to town again, based on true story, there are
a bunch of murders around that time, and this tells the story of at
least one family and what they went through. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a guy named
Ernest Burkhardt, a true story again. He's a military veteran who comes to
town looking to make money working for his uncle played by Robert de Niro.
He meets an Osage woman played by Lily Gladstone, and the movie is a
lot about their kind of twisted love story, which all the acting is fantastic.
You know what you would expect from Leonardo DiCaprio, but Lily Gladstone is
who's pretty new. She's fantastic as well, and I think they're going to
be Oscar nominations. There are some I had some issues with the movie.
I'm not going to say there are issues with the movie. I'm gonna say,
you know, because it is it is subjective. So I had some
issues with the movie that are tough to get into exactly what they were without
spoiling the whole thing, which I don't want to do for people, So
like, can you give us a hint, like are inaccuracies not inaccuracy?
It has to do for me with the story structure and the point of the
point of view. And again it's it's really tough without you know, spoiling
the whole thing or a lot of it as as to what those things were.
But that being said, in my opinion, a flawed film, yes,
but also beautifully done. The two can exist at the same time.
Okay, So is it worth going to the theater to see it or can
we hold out and watch it on streaming? That's the that's the million dollar
question, isn't it. You know, it's it's really gonna be. It's
that's gonna be up to person by person If you are a big scores as
a fan, if you like, you know, big epics, if you
are a fan of Award season and Oscars and things like that, then yeah,
see it on the big screen. That's gonna be the best way to
see it. But if you see it, here's the thing, if you
see it at home, which I know a lot of people are going,
I think most people are probably gonna end up doing that. It's three and
a half hours. You're gonna you're gonna do it over a couple of days.
Probably you know you're you're not gonna do it in one sitting. I
know you out there. You're gonna do an hour here, an hour there.
You're gonna lose interest. Not because you're gonna lose interest, it's just
it's long, and it's not gonna be for everybody. You know, it
moves, I'm not gonna say it moves slowly, but it's definitely not a
quick based film. And it's again those kinds of things are not for everybody.
But I found it interesting and riveting enough, like I said, to
not look at what time it was. For three hours, that's a long
time. Okay, that's a long time in this day and age to go,
Okay, to be so engrossed in the film that you don't care what
time it is. Well, yeah, three and a half hours. That's
two. That's like two full movies, yeah it is, or you know,
or a mini series, you know, four episode mini series almost all
right, which this film could have been as well. Okay, so let's
talk about Halloween now. Yeah, so what's going on? You know how
when you go down the red carpet and they go, who are you wearing?
Actors are gonna have to be careful about that this Halloween. They are.
And if you thought you were going to drive around town, you know,
outside the studios like Warner Brothers in Burbank or Disney or whatever, and
see a bunch of costume characters for Halloween as on the picket lines, you're
not going to because the sag after just put out guidance just yesterday that warning
people actors who are on strike, look, don't dress up as anybody from
a film or TV show this Halloween because that would basically be breaking the strike
because that would in essence be promoting characters from struck work, which they're not
allowed to do on TV or you know, anywhere else. And if they
dress up business characters like say Barbie or Oppenheimer or you know, some of
those characters from the movies this year, but also throughout every year all film
and TV. You're not allowed to do that. So even like the Flintstones,
you can't do well, that would see that's different, that's animated,
and that's under a different contract. So you would be able to do the
Flintstones no Star Trek, no Star Trek, now, that would be that
would be considered struck work. Beetlejuice. Beetle Juice definitely would be a no.
You can't do beetle juice. You can be a ghoul, or a
spider or a zombie, they said. Those are some of the helpful hints
that they gave. Could you be a witch? Is getting its a witch?
Okay, but you got to be careful because you can't be a Sanderson's
sister, no, and you could not be from the Wizard of Oz,
which is you know, the very iconic kind of witch. So you got
to kind of be careful and toe the line. And in your private life
you can kind of do whatever you want, just don't take pictures and put
it on social media because then you're going to get roasted. They say,
Oh, so that's really going to be the thing, because I you know,
I'm like going, would you really dress up on the picket line?
But at parties and all that stuff you want to put that out on social
media. I'm sure there are going to be pickets. There are going to
be costume pickets, because they do themed pickets, you know, all the
time. And as we get to close to Halloween, if the strike is
still going, which it looks like it will be, there will be costumes
on the picket line, but just yeah, no, no characters that you're
going to recognize from TV and film. All right, Jason Nathanson, thank
you so much. All Right, take out, all right, have a
great weekend. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Israel's defense minister says after the country destroys Hamas,
the military does not plan to control life in the Gaza strip. He
says, Israel expects three phases to its war with Hamas. The first would
include air strikes and ground maneuvers. Then Israel would combat areas of resistance,
and finally it would stop its responsibility for life in the strip as, it
says. Israel declared war with Hamas earlier this month after the group's surprise attack
killed fourteen hundred Israelis. A State Department official has resigned from the agency over
the Biden administration's approach to the Israel Hamas war. The Bureau of Military Affairs,
Josh Paul says, if Israel wants to destroy Hamas, they won't be
able to do it with its military. If you want to undermine Hamas,
you have to do it through providing a path to peace, to justice to
a Palestinian society that can flourish. Paul said it may be time to try
something different, not just for Palestinian civilians, but for Israeli civilians too.
He said Wednesday, Hamas's attack on Israel was a monstrosity, but Israel's response
will only lead to more suffering for both sides. State Senator Lafonza Butler,
who was appointed by Governor Newso less than a month ago, says she will
not be running for a full term in twenty twenty four. The senator said
yesterday she spent the past sixteen days in office pursuing her clarity. She says
after considering the service she wants to offer, she decided not to run for
Senate in the next election. Butler was sworn in earlier this month to fill
the late Dianne Feinstein's seat. Einstein died last month at the age of ninety.
