WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:15.080 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:30.480 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. It's 4 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.640 five o'clock, straight up. This is your wake up call for Friday, 5 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:43.200 July nineteenth. I'm Amy King. Made it to Friday. Never a dull 6 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:52.159 moment. I know for you, probably not a big deal, but that 7 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.399 foreign president talked for a long time last night, so I got to bed 8 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.880 really late. I know, like nine o'clock. It's not for most of 9 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:06.719 you guys, that's not early, but for me it is. But anyway, 10 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.760 never a dull moment. As I just mentioned, we officially have a 11 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:17.519 Republican presidential nominee. The Democrats could be without a presidential nominee. And we've 12 00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.959 got computer outages that are affecting airlines, banks, hospitals, media outlets world 13 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.640 wide. We're going to be finding out more about that. Oh and it's 14 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:27.879 the first day of the Orange County Fair. I mean, let's get our 15 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.599 priority stage, shall we. Here's what's the head on wake up call. 16 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:37.200 Flights across the US have been grounded because of a computer outage. Delta, 17 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:42.359 United American an Allegiant are all affected and flights out of lax A grounded, 18 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.239 along with other flights out of southern California airports. You're being advised to call 19 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.200 before you head to the airline if you're trying to fly today. American says 20 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:55.359 it is resuming operations this morning. The outage is also affecting banks, hospitals, 21 00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:00.680 businesses, media companies. The issue is with CrowdStrike software. The company 22 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.280 says it's an update issue and it is not a cyber attack. We're going 23 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.800 to get the latest on how it's going to affect you today from ABC's Mike 24 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:14.280 Dbuski. That's coming up in just about like three minutes. Democrats at the 25 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.719 highest levels have been pushing for President Biden to rethink his reelection bid, and 26 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:24.280 even former President Obama has expressed concern to allies. Biden said Monday he hadn't 27 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.759 spoken to Obama in a couple of weeks. We're going to find out the 28 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.400 latest on that with ABC's Karen Travers. That's coming up in about fifteen minutes. 29 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.560 Donald Trump is officially the Republican Party's nominee for president In his first major 30 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.439 speech since a failed assassination attempt, Trump described in detail the moment a shoot 31 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.840 or opened fire on him in Pennsylvania. We've also got cool stuff for the 32 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.120 hot days ahead with the host of Home on KFI, Dean Sharp, that's 33 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.680 coming up at bottom of the hour, and Jason Nathanson with ABC our entertainment 34 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.560 guru is Getting Twisted. That's coming up before the top of the hour. 35 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.919 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFA four our 36 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:06.960 newsroom. We are one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for 37 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.800 all. Former President Trump has called fort unity while accepting his party's nomination for 38 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.599 president at the Republican National Convention. The discord and division in our society must 39 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:22.319 be healed. We must heal it quickly. As Americans, we are bound 40 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:29.039 together by a single faith and a shared destiny. We rise together, or 41 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.319 we fall apart. Trump also spoke last night about patriotism and a need for 42 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:38.879 change. He acknowledged the assassination attempt against him on Saturday, saying he shouldn't 43 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.080 be alive, but is now more determined than ever. Cal Fire says there's 44 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.520 been a lot of lightning activity around the state, and during the first part 45 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.400 of this week, there were more than nine thousand lightning strikes in a three 46 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.439 d period, which sparked fifty one wildfires around the state. Battalion Chief David 47 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.680 Akunyas is despite the high number of lightning strikes, that is not the number 48 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.120 one cause of wildfires ninety five percent of them. All fires are cons by 49 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.759 here, but Acunia says given the crazy weather behavior over the last few years, 50 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.680 it's been more difficult to predict where fires might start. Acunia says Cowfire's 51 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.680 goals to keep every new fire under ten acres. Steve Gregor kaaf I News 52 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.600 arraging fire in downtown La has spread to several buildings. Fire crews were called 53 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:21.199 out to the fire on South Kolder Street near Seventh shortly after two this morning. 54 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.759 One hundred and seventy firefighters are working to put the flames out. LA 55 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.120 Fire says the roof of the initial building burning has partially collapsed. It's also 56 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.000 burning near and a vacant apartment building. A proposal to expand the La County 57 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.600 Board of Supervisors has received federal support. Congress Members Judy qu and Ted lu 58 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.600 say they're in favor of an elected county wide executive and increasing the number of 59 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.439 supervisors from five to nine. They were joined yesterday by Alhambra City Councilman Jeff 60 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:54.439 Maloney, saying it would be a step towards better representation of communities like Asian 61 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:59.120 Americans. I can tell you that our API communities are yearning for adequate representation 62 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.319 at all levels of government. The issue is expected to be on the November 63 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.519 ballot and would be an effect in twenty thirty two in downtown La. Michael 64 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:11.759 Monks KFI News, let's say good morning now to ABC's Mike Debuski. Thanks 65 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.160 for coming on with us at kind of at the last second, Mike. 66 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:18.720 But we've got a worldwide technology issue. Yeah, it certainly seems that way. 67 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:24.360 So what we're seeing this morning is a global outage of Microsoft Windows machines. 68 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.720 It appears to be affecting thousands of computers amy including those at airlines, 69 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:33.279 banks, hospitals, media organizations, including ABC News. So there's a varied 70 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:39.639 and wide range of industries and businesses that are affected by this. In terms 71 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:45.199 of what this is, we're still starting to piece together exactly how this came 72 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.560 together and what the issues are. There's a couple of them, but the 73 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.519 primary one seems to be tied to a software update that went out to Windows 74 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:57.600 computers from a company called CrowdStrike. This is a company, a cybersecurity firm 75 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.680 that Microsoft works with pretty closely. This was a faulty update, though, 76 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.480 and it appears to send computers and servers into what's known as a recovery boot 77 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:12.079 loop, essentially starting the computer up over and over again and not actually logging 78 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.839 in this. Don't you get the blue screen of death or something? That 79 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:16.800 is exactly what I was going to say. Yes, this is colloquially known 80 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:21.120 as the blue screen of death, and that is really what's affecting a lot 81 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.800 of these computers. Now, CrowdStrike has weighed in. The CEO of that 82 00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.600 company, a man named George Kurtz, posted on social media not that long 83 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.759 ago that a fix has gone out, that the computers that haven't been affected 84 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:38.480 by this so far or haven't booted up yet, I should say we'll have 85 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.879 this fix and that they won't get stuck in this loop. There do seem 86 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.079 to be some questions remaining about the what happens to the computers that are currently 87 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.279 stuck in the loop, but it does seem like there are signs of hope 88 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:55.240 here. A number of airlines issued a ground stop overnight, American United Delta 89 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:59.800 among them. Number of those ground stops have now lifted as planes begin to 90 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.639 take off. But kind of just tracing how this came together overnight, Amy, 91 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:08.920 we first got word of this in Australia, then in Europe and Asia, 92 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.120 and then on the East coast, and now you guys on the West 93 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.879 coast are beginning to wake up. With each new part of the globe that 94 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.199 wakes up and logs on, we learn about new issues, So there could 95 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:25.680 be like continuing issues here. You can also imagine sort of the logistical hurdles 96 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.160 here. In addition to you know, laptops and you know, personal desktops 97 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.720 and that sort of thing that are affected by this, there's also servers right 98 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.560 that a lot of businesses rely on. Here at ABC News, we have 99 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:39.319 a number of them. You know, some of our computers run on servers 100 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:43.199 in Orlando, which is where Disney is headquartered, the parent company of Abash. 101 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:47.480 So is Disneyland going to be affected. Unclear if Disney World or Disneyland 102 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.560 are affected by this at this point, but it is seemingly a pretty widespread 103 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:56.839 issue. Again, fixes are out there that they seem to be working on 104 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.199 this. And what's more, separately from all this, Microsoft seems to be 105 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:05.560 having its own kind of secluded issues with Microsoft three sixty five, which is 106 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.360 what we used to call Microsoft Office. So some people have reported trouble logging 107 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:15.360 into Outlook, which is their email client, Excel and one note and one 108 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.600 drive, other sort of Microsoft products seem to be experiencing some issues as well. 109 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.199 Remains to be seen how related those two issues are, but that's also 110 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.920 happening separately from those. Okay, So I have a question for you, 111 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.240 Mike, because you said that like ABC News has been affected by it, 112 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.799 and I was driving in hearing about this, going, oh god, what 113 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.600 if our computers don't work? But everything's working find here at KFI, and 114 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.759 I'm wondering, are they rolling out that update because we use three sixty five. 115 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.120 Are they rolling out that update all at once? Or could maybe it 116 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.559 come later? You know what I mean. So, with regard to the 117 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:58.320 three sixty five issue, Microsoft has put out a statement they say users may 118 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:05.519 be only to access various Microsoft three sixty five apps and services and that it's 119 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.960 working on a fix. So I think it really like your mileage may vary, 120 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.399 And I'll give you an example. This morning, I woke up and 121 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.840 I logged onto my personal computer and everything worked fine. I could launch Outlook, 122 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.080 and I could get into everything that I would normally get into. And 123 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.320 then I came into the office this morning and one of the computers in our 124 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.720 studio is in the blue screen of death, and the one that I'm sitting 125 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.159 in front of now is perfectly fine. So you know, your mileage may 126 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:31.720 vary, but it does seem like things are getting better, slowly but surely. 127 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:33.679 Great. Well, I know you got to go because you are a 128 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.480 man in demand this morningcause everybody wants to know what the heck is going on. 129 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.039 So thank you for taking the time to talk to us this morning. 130 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.879 We appreciate it. Mike, of course, Aby take care, okay, 131 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:48.399 And as you mentioned airlines, so at this point we're hearing that there are 132 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:56.399 no departing flights from any of the Southern California airports, so that could change 133 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.639 at any moment, so do be sure to check before you head to the 134 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.919 airport if you're dropping somebody off or if you're going to fly out yourself. 135 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.120 But we're hearing ground stop basically, and then the affected airlines were mainly Delta 136 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:15.600 and United and Allegiant and American Americans says it's back online, so hopefully they're 137 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.320 getting this figured out, but could be kind of a headache for a lot 138 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.200 of people this morning. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 139 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.840 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man from Sierra Leone has been 140 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:31.120 arrested on charges of smuggling people into the US. Abdual Contact was arrested in 141 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.320 Tijuana. He's being extradited to the US. Prosecutors say he's charged tens of 142 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:41.279 thousands of dollars per person to smuggle people from Iran, Afghanistan, Who'zbekistan, 143 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:48.559 Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Somalia, Cameroon, Senegal, Ethiopia, and 144 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.600 Egypt into the US. Trains and cargo are headed for a fast track. 145 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.759 In Long Beach, khruz A begun building a new facility that will add one 146 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.679 hundred and thirty thousand feet a new tracks where trains can be assembled. Long 147 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:05.000 Beach Mayor Rex Richardson says the new facility will have multiple benefits. It's a 148 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.399 win win, clean, air less congestion and more union jobs for our communities. 149 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.159 Officials say the more than one point five billion dollar facility will support five 150 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.240 million containers annually, decreasing the need for trucks in the area. Officials held 151 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.720 a groundbreaking ceremony for the project yesterday in Long Beach Blake Trolley kay if I 152 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.440 news, I told you never a dull moment, And this morning we're just 153 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:33.759 getting word that Russia has convicted US reporter Evan Gerskevich of espionage charges. It 154 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:39.200 happened after a very quick trial that his employer and the US have both said 155 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.399 is a sham. New research shows babies born to women who got the COVID 156 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:50.080 nineteen vaccine did not have higher rates of birth defects. ABC's Michelle friends And 157 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.159 says. The research was published in the British Medical Journal. Results also showed 158 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.799 birth defects that did occur were not linked to women who were infected with the 159 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:03.000 COVID virus in their first three months of pregnancy. Researchers say the study supports 160 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.320 that the benefits of getting vaccinated outweigh the risks for both the mother and the 161 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.559 baby. The team studied more than three hundred and forty three thousand babies born 162 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.080 to women with an estimated start of pregnancy between March first of twenty twenty and 163 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:30.960 February fourteenth, twenty twenty two. Hello, I haven't heard that one for 164 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.879 a while. Comedian Bob Newhart has died. His publicist says Newhart died yesterday 165 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:41.120 in la following a series of short illnesses. New Heart was an accountant before 166 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:48.960 he became popular in entertainment. He played psychologist a psychologist in The Bob Newhart 167 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.279 Show in the seventies and then an innkeeper on New Heart in the nineteen eighties. 168 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.799 He's also known for more recent roles on the TV show The Big Bang 169 00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.919 Theory, and in the Christmas Class Elf, he played Papa Elf. Bob 170 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.840 Newhart was ninety four. Airlines, banks, media companies, hospitals and others 171 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.519 are being affected by a global technology issue. The outage that's apparently tied to 172 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:20.440 a software update has grounded several airlines. Departing flights been grounded at lax Burbank. 173 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.639 John Wayne American says it is back online, but Delta, United and 174 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.960 Allegiant are all grounded. You're being urged to call your airline before you head 175 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:37.279 to the airport Russia has convicted and sentenced US journalist Evan Gerskevich to sixteen years 176 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.480 after a spying trial that was held this week. Widely seen as politically motivated, 177 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.840 Hunter Biden has asked a federal judge in LA to throw out the tax 178 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:52.519 case against him because of the Florida judge's dismissal of the classified documents case against 179 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:58.559 former President Trump. Biden's lawyers argue that the same ruling applies to Biden that 180 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.559 prosecutors were on constitutionally appointed. Hunter's tax trial is scheduled to start September fifth. 181 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.279 Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen, more calls 182 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:15.879 are coming for President Biden to step aside, even reportedly from former President Obama. 183 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.279 Yeah, you know, publicly. We heard yesterday from John Tester, 184 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.840 Democratic senator from Montana, who's one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the Senate 185 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.759 in his re election battle in a red state, and he said yesterday that 186 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.480 while he appreciates the President's commitment to public service, he believes that he should 187 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.360 not seek reelection to another term. So that's notable, because you know, 188 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.720 it's part of the big argument that we're hearing that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 189 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.879 Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and the House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries are 190 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.440 making to the President that they're concerned about the Democrat's ability to keep control of 191 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:56.039 the Senate and potentially win back control of the House with him on the ticket, 192 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.559 because of the drag he might be to their candidates. So when you 193 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.200 have some like Tester who's in such a fierce battle saying he shouldn't seek reelection, 194 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.519 that makes people pay attention. Chris Coons, yesterday, the senator from 195 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:13.080 Delaware who's a close ally of the President's, suggested that the president is reviewing 196 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.039 his options. He says he's been asking for input, asking from those of 197 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.000 us he talks to regularly, for advice, for input on the polls, 198 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.879 and for the opinion of our colleagues. And that follows what you mentioned. 199 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:30.879 The Washington Post reported that former President Obama has told allies in recent days that 200 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.360 he thinks that the president's path to victory has greatly diminished and that the president 201 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.360 needs to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy. Okay, and so far 202 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.720 are we getting any update from the Biden camp? I had heard that they 203 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.000 kind of pushed back again yesterday and said, Nope, We're still in it 204 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.159 to win it. That is exactly what they're saying. They were calling some 205 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.519 of the reports that were stating emphatically that the President was dropping out, calling 206 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.519 it fan fiction, saying flat out wrong to some of the things that were 207 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.440 out there. But you know, while I say that there is no indication 208 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.240 the president has changed his mind, and the senior official says that, you 209 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.960 know, while they're all adamant the president is committed as ever, we're also 210 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.200 told he is more receptive to hearing out calls for him to end his candidacy, 211 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.039 and that he's even asked for polling on how his vice president, Kamala 212 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:23.159 Harris would do in a head to head matchup against Donald Trump. Former House 213 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:27.879 Speaker Nancy Pelosi has privately told some House Democrats she believes that the President is 214 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:33.559 more receptive to these calls for him to step aside, and that those conversations 215 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.399 could push him to make a decision soon. Well, and we're hearing rumblings 216 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.440 that could happen this weekend. That's what a lot of rumblings I think are 217 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.879 on social media. I do think it's important to note that the president has 218 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.960 COVID right now, and you know, yesterday his doctor said he is still 219 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:53.039 experiencing mild symptoms. It is Friday. He tested positive on Wednesday evening, 220 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:57.279 so today is just you know, his day three, and we're told he's 221 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:03.360 exhausted, so he's recovering operating from that. It's just hard to imagine some 222 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.240 major thing while he is still dealing with COVID. Yeah, because I think 223 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:08.640 whatever the president wants to do, he's going to want to speak to the 224 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:14.680 American people about this. I just think he's got to just be feeling like 225 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.000 things are piling on. I mean like he's got these calls and then more 226 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.960 people and more people, and then he's got COVID and it's just and then 227 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.359 he's he has to be off the trail because he can't do anything. I 228 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:27.720 would imagine it's incredibly frustrating. He's still being president too. You know, 229 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.720 yesterday we had a briefing with the National security spokesman John kirbw' said the president 230 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.359 was getting briefings yesterday, he was still getting updates on national security matters, 231 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.839 and you know, we were also told he was on campaign conference calls yesterday 232 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.400 too, so if the work doesn't stop either, even as the sickness sets 233 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:49.640 in and all of the shirling speculation continues. Okay, so is the swirling 234 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:56.200 speculation continues. Le's next, Well, he's down in Delaware for the next 235 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:59.599 couple of days. There's nothing on the public schedule as we see, you 236 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.640 know, how how he's feeling. And then he's he'll be back at the 237 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:06.640 White House once he's pasted all of this, but we just kind of have 238 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.000 to see. Okay, we'll be watching Karen Travers, thank you so much 239 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:11.759 for the update. Thank you. All right, let's get back to some 240 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:17.119 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The cybersecurity 241 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:22.960 firm crowd Strike says a defect in a Windows update has caused major disruptions around 242 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.839 the world. The company says the network outages are not because of a security 243 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:32.039 incident or a cyber attack. ABC's Sam Sweeney says the outage has disrupted banks, 244 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.279 media outlets, and airlines. Fortunately, this is happening in the overnight 245 00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:40.240 hours when there aren't too many flights taking off. But as you can imagine, 246 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:44.279 the airlines now working as quickly as they can so they can begin their 247 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:51.160 mornings as smooth as possible, but right now certainly issues for American Delta United. 248 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:56.440 Microsoft says it's working to fix the issue affecting access to Hits three sixty 249 00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:02.240 five apps and services.

Ed says the boy was on life support 256 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.799 for a week, but died over the weekend. The father is still in 257 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.000 a coma. Ramos faces a maximum twenty years in prison. His first court 258 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:38.839 appearance is set for next week. A man charged with setting ten vegetation fires 259 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:44.079 in San Juan Capistrano could be responsible for thirteen other fires in the same area. 260 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:48.000 Each one of these starts has the potential to be a major wildland Fire. 261 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:51.640 OC Fire Authority Captain John Dorn says the fires were set in the last 262 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.920 three months along bike paths near dry hilly areas. A lot of potential there 263 00:19:55.960 --> 00:20:00.480 for damage to property, to horses, lifestock, humans, homes. The 264 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.400 Orange County DA says Arson charges filed yesterday against Sergio Para carry a max. 265 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.799 Eighteen year prison sentence. The DA says any new info from the public could 266 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:14.640 lead to additional charges tied to the other thirteen fires in Orange County. Corbin 267 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.920 Carson KFI news LA Metro has gotten nearly eighty million dollars for electric buses and 268 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.240 charging infrastructure.

Cybersecurity from crowd Strike says it has to 285 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:41.200 do with a software update and is not a cyber attack or a security issue. 286 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.519 Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gerskovich has been convicted in Russia of espionage and 287 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:49.880 sentenced to sixteen years in prison. The paper in the USA the charges were 288 00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:56.119 fabricated and politically motivated.

Yeah, uh work. 302 00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.799 By the way, this weekend, I have no idea what the show 303 00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:02.240 is about because we're taking calls all weekend, and whenever we do that, 304 00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.359 all of our listeners set the agenda for the show. So I'm very excited 305 00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:10.720 to find out what the show is about tomorrow as listeners start calling in and 306 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.799 asking their questions about their home.

Anything anybody wants to talk about regarding their 309 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.599 home, I'm there to help them out. Okay, so you mentioned DIY. 310 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.519 So let's launch into some of the cool things that you have found for 311 00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:40.920 homes. And I love this because when I drive around a neighborhood and the 312 00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:42.880 first thing you see on a house is an ugly garage door, you just 313 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:47.400 go, oh God. But there's actually a fix for that that you can 314 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:51.200 do yourself, and boy does it look cool. Right now, I gotta 315 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:56.079 just preamble this with we have not tested this out out yet, so but 316 00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.119 we've seen it, we've heard a lot about it, and I thought it 317 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:02.839 was worth sharing. You know. For a while now, there have been 318 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:08.440 kits out on the market for decorative garage door hardware what we call carriage hardware, 319 00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:15.400 which is like these long strap hinges and handles that are magnetic and you 320 00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.480 can stick them onto your garage door and make it look like it's two doors, 321 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.200 and you know, like it's hinged and like it's a little bit more 322 00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:25.279 old world, and you know, it judges it up a little bit, 323 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:30.480 but it doesn't really fundamentally change the door. It just adds hardware to it. 324 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:34.039 Well, this company garage Skins, and you can find this stuff everybody 325 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:41.799 at garage skins dot com. They have gone the full monty with this. 326 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:48.119 They have designed actual a new wood paneling system for the front of an existing 327 00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:53.319 metal garage door. And it's all magnet based, so you measure up your 328 00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:57.839 garage door, you enter online the dimensions, you can order one of these 329 00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:03.319 up. It's about the third of a cost of an expensive wood door and 330 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:08.920 these are real wood veneer panels and once the box shows up, it takes 331 00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:14.799 about a half an hour for you to just snap them onto your existing garage 332 00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:18.680 door and boom, it's a whole new looking door. Wow. And I'm 333 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.880 just looking at the pictures that you sent over. They do look very cool. 334 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:25.960 But you said you haven't tested this one yet. Yeah, no, 335 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.000 we have not got our hands on one yet. We've actually ordered a kit 336 00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:33.160 to try out, and so I'll let you know when that happens. But 337 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:38.200 I got to say it's got great reviews and just the idea of adding that 338 00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:42.759 much more of a change to that garage door, which for so many people 339 00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:48.599 in southern California is their primary door, and which I mean it's the thing 340 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.480 that's the biggest part of the front of the house sticking out closest to the 341 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:55.960 street. So if you really want to change the vibe of your house, 342 00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.880 you can't ignore that sixteen foot wide by set and foot tall door. It's 343 00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:06.720 more important than changing out the front door. And this is a less far, 344 00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:10.119 far less expensive way of doing it. And so if it turns out 345 00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:12.319 that these things work, it's going to revolutionize. We're going to see a 346 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:18.319 lot of people changing out their garage doors without changing out their garage doors, 347 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.160 which is very exciting. Yeah, okay, so speaking of garage, I 348 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:27.119 could so use this. Uh it's a new way to store stuff in the 349 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:33.119 garage exactly now. There have been lift systems around for several years now, 350 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.240 a lot of companies doing really good work for this. But I gotta say 351 00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:44.200 ox Lift and this is au Xx dash Lift. Auxx dash Lift, ox 352 00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:48.720 Lift. They have really turned the corner with these storage systems. So you 353 00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:53.599 know how so many people. You know, if we've got room overhead in 354 00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:57.720 our garage, you know, we'll put some plywood up there in those rafters 355 00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:00.839 and we'll try and get the stored up there. And that's great, and 356 00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:04.039 it's all fine. It gets a little messy, a little unruly, and 357 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.759 then you got to get on a ladder to get up there and wrangle the 358 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:11.799 boxes down where sym comes. Yeah, exactly right. I've got those in 359 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.240 my garage where I put the ones that kind of look like what you're talking 360 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.960 about now, but it doesn't have the lift system on it. But they're 361 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:22.160 great and they they're suspended from the roof or not the roof, but from 362 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:27.519 the ceiling of the garage down about five feet and you can load them up 363 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.880 with stuff. But the big thing is, like you just said, you 364 00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:33.480 have to crawl up a ladder and then you and wrestle with it, all 365 00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.680 of them. Yeah. So this is a system where a platform is connected 366 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:41.720 to cables. And the big change about this is that the motor that lowers 367 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.359 the winch that lowers these you're looking at the whole thing in that picture, 368 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:49.680 Amy, those coils right there, those two those two tubes, those are 369 00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:55.359 the motors. So this whole thing just surface mounts plugs into a one twenty 370 00:27:55.400 --> 00:28:00.160 outlet and they can get very very big. We're talking the largest one that 371 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.359 they make is four x eight. That's an entire sheet of plywood with a 372 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.279 six hundred pounds storage capacity. So here's the thing. You pull the car 373 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.640 out of the garage, you flip a switch, and all of that storage 374 00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:15.400 drops right down onto the floor where you can access it, do whatever you 375 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:17.880 need to do, get the boxes that you need to get, hit the 376 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.559 switch again, and right back up to the ceiling. No ladders, no 377 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.119 wrestling up there. I just love that idea of it coming down to you. 378 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.240 Very high tech and very practical as well. And the same company makes 379 00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:37.960 the same kind of system in hallway with units for attic storage and the hallway 380 00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:42.039 unit. The hallway unit actually has drywall on the bottom and it flushes out 381 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:45.160 with your ceiling like a ceiling panel. You would flip a switch in your 382 00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:51.200 hallway and suddenly all of your attic storage stuff just drops right down into the 383 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:55.079 hallway for you. Oh that's very cool. Okay, and it's called what 384 00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:57.759 ox ox. It's made by you. There are different kinds of lists, 385 00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:03.160 but you can go to their website. Au Xx dash Lift ax Lift. 386 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.880 Okay. Now, just a couple more things that are much smaller, much 387 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:14.240 less expensive and are really great. So I've seen this prepared hero fire blanket 388 00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.839 on TV. Yes, yeah, but it tell us about it, you 389 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.000 know, it's it could not be smarter or simpler. And I'm just thrilled 390 00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:27.599 prepared hero fire blanket, you know, as opposed to having a fire extinguished. 391 00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:30.759 And this is not to replace the fact that you should have a fire 392 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:37.440 extinguisher nearby, but for fires that happen, you know, maybe in the 393 00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:40.440 kitchen, on the cook top, grease fires, things like that. You 394 00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:42.680 get out the fire extinguisher. You haven't used it, you don't know if 395 00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:45.839 it's fully charged. When was the last time you even touched the thing? 396 00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:49.200 Do we know where it is? And then you blow that out. You 397 00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:52.400 know it's going to put the fire out, but it's going to make a 398 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.599 massive mess as well. The simplicity of the Prepared Hero Fire Blanket. It's 399 00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:02.480 a forty inch by forty inch fiberglass flame smothering blanket. It's in a little 400 00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:04.359 pouch. You can keep it in a drawer right next to your cook top 401 00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:08.759 or anywhere over by the barbecue outside. You pull it out of its little 402 00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:15.359 sleeve and you just toss it over the fire and it simply smothers the fire. 403 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:19.480 And it's just that smart. It's kind of that stop drop, except 404 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:26.279 for you know, using this little blanket. It's reusable, it can handle 405 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.039 temperatures over a thousand degrees, and it is just one of the smartest, 406 00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:37.160 most practical first step in fire control in a house. Okay, Prepared Hero 407 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:40.400 fire blanket. Okay. And then this, my little brother just got this 408 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.839 for my mom for Christmas last year. The battery Daddy. Oh my gosh, 409 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:48.559 Tim Conway and I just flip out over the battery Daddy. We just 410 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.799 love it. It's not brand new, and it's not brand new, and 411 00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:55.279 a lot of people kind of have scoffed at it because they've advertised it sort 412 00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:59.279 of as one of those as seen on TV things y. But I got 413 00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:03.240 to tell you, it's twenty bucks and you can find it just about anywhere. 414 00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:06.359 You can find it at home depot and Lows and your local hardware store. 415 00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:11.039 And it is brilliant. It's a little case. It's just the right 416 00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:15.440 size. It secures all sorts and all sizes of battery holds up to one 417 00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.160 hundred and eighty batteries. Somebody got I think Tina or one of my kids 418 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.680 got one for me a couple of years back. And I tell you it 419 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:27.720 is transformative. I am so proup. You know, instead of there being 420 00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:32.720 like some weird tubberware thing, or where's the drawer with the loose battery, 421 00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:34.240 you know, just the whole battery thing, We're just like, up, 422 00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:38.480 grab the battery daddy. There they are. It even has a charger built 423 00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:41.319 into it as well, so you can make sure that the batteries that are 424 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.880 in there are still perfectly good. It stores batteries front and back. And 425 00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:48.960 you know, there have been battery storage cases in the past. They're either 426 00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:53.559 too big or they're too small, and they're useless. This it's just it's 427 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:57.720 the Goldilock zone. The battery daddy. It's just the right size. It's 428 00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:01.880 perfect for every other So I kid you not if you don't have one of 429 00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:07.240 these to a certain degree. It will change your life. That's so funny. 430 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:08.480 And it's only twenty bucks. And I will tell you my mom, 431 00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:12.319 we all kind of laughed about it when Rob got it from Mom for Christmas, 432 00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:15.279 but now she's like, oh, go get the battery, Daddy, 433 00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:19.119 and I mean she's like all into it so absolutely. You know, I 434 00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:22.720 don't know what it is. It's like a lifetime of wrestling with batteries and 435 00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:28.119 suddenly you're like, oh, they've solved the problem. You know. It's 436 00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:31.400 like we live in the twenty first century and they've solved the battery problem. 437 00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:36.240 It just it just brings us so much joy every time we bring it down. 438 00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:38.920 It doesn't make sense to me, but I guarantee you you'll love it, 439 00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:43.000 Okay, love all the cool new stuff. And if you want to 440 00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:47.079 have Dean help solve one of your problems around your home, give m a 441 00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:51.920 call this weekend Home with Dean Sharp.

It always is, all right, you can also follow him 445 00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:07.839 at home with Dean Thank you so much, Dean Sharp, Thanks Amy all 446 00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:15.519 Right. Global technology outage has grounded flights, knocked banks and hospital systems offline, 447 00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:22.000 and media outlets off the air in a massive disruption that is affecting companies 448 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:27.119 and services around the world. Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike says the outage is the result 449 00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:30.440 of a faulty software update to computers running Windows. It's not a cyber attack, 450 00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:36.200 it says Affixes. On the way. Fresh off accepting his party's nomination 451 00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:39.400 for president, former President Trump and his VP pick JD. Vance are headed 452 00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:45.160 to Michigan for a campaign rally to close out the four day Republican National Convention 453 00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:49.839 in Milwaukee. Trump delivered a more than ninety minute speech last night that included 454 00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:53.640 a play by play from his perspective of the assassination attempt on him almost a 455 00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:59.839 week ago. Former co stars and famous fans have paid tribute to Bob Newhart 456 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:06.079 for his deadpan humor and his sitcamp sitcoms The Bob Newhart Show and new Heart. 457 00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.960 Carol Burnett tweeted that she had the great pleasure of being his friend and 458 00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:13.360 said he was as kind and nice as he was funny and he will be 459 00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:16.800 missed. Bob Newhart died yesterday. He was ninety four. Right now, 460 00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:22.159 let's say good morning to ABC's Jason Nathanson. So, Jason, let's get 461 00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:27.639 twisted. Yes, Twisters is out this weekend. That is the sequel to 462 00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:34.079 the nineteen ninety six original summer blockbuster. And this is a sequel kind of 463 00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:37.519 just because they're saying it's a sequel. It has nothing to do with the 464 00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:43.760 original. There's nobody from the original in it, because that was Bill packs 465 00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:47.239 Hellen Hunt, right yeah, Bill, Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Philip 466 00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:51.320 Seymour Hoffman. Oh yeah, yeah, So a couple of people who are 467 00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:55.440 no longer with us, but a couple of people who were and are And 468 00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:00.800 so there's nobody. Don't expect to see any unless there's some kind of cameo 469 00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:05.119 that I missed a very quick something. There's nobody in it from the original, 470 00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:10.719 and maybe maybe there was, maybe the cow that flew into the but 471 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.239 the cow cows don't live that long, I don't think. And the characters, 472 00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:20.239 the storyline again has nothing to do with the original and doesn't reference the 473 00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:24.119 original at all. This stars Daisy Edgar Jones, as a former storm chaser 474 00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:30.320 turned National Weather Service scientist. She's the she's the scientist, she's the brain 475 00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:37.119 of this whole thing. And you also have Tyler Owens, who's played by 476 00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:42.159 Glenn Powell, who's the charming, reckless social media superstar who's a storm chaser 477 00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:45.800 and likes to live blog all that kind of stuff, and the two of 478 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:52.039 them just their personalities clash, but there might be sparks, which is, 479 00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:55.480 you know, the the hallmark and staple of any kind of summer blockbuster type 480 00:35:55.480 --> 00:36:00.400 movie, and it is a good summer popcorn type movie. Although Glenn pallin 481 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:06.000 da'sy Edgar Jones, I think they're individually, they're charming together. I didn't 482 00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:07.719 feel a whole lot of chemistry between the two of them. There's also a 483 00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:14.280 weird love triangle involving Anthony Ramos, which was just more awkward than you know, 484 00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:17.639 anything else. There were some good laughs, which I appreciated. I 485 00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:22.159 would have liked to have more, but the last that were there were good. 486 00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:25.679 I saw it an Imax. I got the choice to see in Imax 487 00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:30.199 or regular. For a movie like this, I figured Imax would be better. 488 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.280 I don't know if it necessarily added anything to it. So I would 489 00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:36.320 say you don't necessarily need to spend the extra money to see it in imax, 490 00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:37.800 But if you're going to see it, I would say see it in 491 00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:42.079 a theater because it is you know, it's that kind of movie you want 492 00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:45.840 to have fun, and it looks good on the big screen, and so, 493 00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:47.719 you know, overall, seven point two out of ten for me, 494 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.519 it delivers on what it's supposed to be, which is a good summer blockbuster, 495 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:55.199 which is fun, and you don't really think too hard about it, 496 00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:59.599 and I'm probably never gonna think about it again. Okay. I wonder how 497 00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:02.440 it's gonna play like in the Midwest where they've been just hammered with tornadoes, 498 00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:06.440 and I would think that like they might be going you know what, I 499 00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:08.679 don't think I want to see tornadoes. Now, you know it's possible, 500 00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:13.119 But then you know, every time there's a big earthquake movie, we go 501 00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.880 see it, so there's that, you know. I don't know. I 502 00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:19.199 think maybe it might be a little of both, like I don't want to 503 00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:22.000 see that on screen, and then oh I like to see what we're going 504 00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:27.800 through on screen. Okay. A new documentary out called Sorry Not Sorry, 505 00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:31.000 what's that. Yeah, this is a look at the Louis c K sexual 506 00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:38.599 harassment, all this stuff that happened in twenty seventeen with him kind of being 507 00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:44.159 canceled and then over the past few years coming back as well. It talks 508 00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:45.960 to a lot of the women who are involved in that, a lot of 509 00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:52.280 other figures like Mike Sure, who's one of the co creators of Parks and 510 00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:58.079 rec which was a show that Louis was on, and it talks to him 511 00:37:58.119 --> 00:38:00.760 about how he feels about having heard some of the rumors about some of this 512 00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:06.079 stuff but not doing anything and hiring Louis anyway, and whether he feels bad 513 00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:08.960 about that, and some other people reckoning with some stuff like that as well. 514 00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:13.039 And then of course Louis c K has come back over the past couple 515 00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:16.199 of years where he's been selling out, you know, Arena's doing comedy and 516 00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:22.679 winning a Grammy for his comedy album and how people feel about that and wrestling 517 00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:25.559 with some of the big questions surrounding a lot of this stuff is when is 518 00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:30.039 somebody allowed to come back and what do they have to do to atone for 519 00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.119 their sins? And did Louis c K do those things? Or not, 520 00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:36.920 and how do some of the women who are involved in that story feel about 521 00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:40.920 those kinds of things. So I think it's very interesting the whole subject matter. 522 00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.039 I think Louis c. K in particular is one of the more interesting 523 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:50.119 stories because it was right on that line of did he do something illegal? 524 00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:54.840 Is this just harassment you know? Or what was going on here? And 525 00:38:54.880 --> 00:39:00.400 of course he was never charged or facing time, but he also, unlike 526 00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:01.960 a lot of these guys, admit it to everything and said, yes, 527 00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:07.000 I did that stuff. So the whole thing I think is very interesting, 528 00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:09.840 although could have gone a little bit deeper. And that's a seven point five 529 00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:14.679 out of ten for me. It's in select theaters. It's called Sorry Not 530 00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:16.800 Sorry. It's in select theaters, and I believe available today for video on 531 00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:20.880 demand rental. Oh okay, but it's rental. It's not just on the 532 00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:22.920 free stream. It's not just streaming somewhere as far as I know. Okay, 533 00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:29.159 something that is streaming is The Bear And it just got a ton of 534 00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:32.519 Emmy nominations, but it's nominated in the comedy category. Yeah, I don't 535 00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:36.800 get it. It's not funny. It's not funny, and that for me 536 00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:39.960 is The main sticking point is it's not funny, and it's not trying to 537 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:45.280 be funny, although there are comedic moments in it, but like there are 538 00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:49.199 you know, The Sopranos was very, very funny at times, But is 539 00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:52.039 that a comedy? No? Succession. Also, Succession was one of the 540 00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:57.119 funniest shows on TV when it was on. Is that a comedy? You 541 00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.960 know? I don't know, but it it kind of just depends. Look, 542 00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:07.559 it stems from this old school thought of something that's thirty minutes long is 543 00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:10.159 a comedy and something that's sixty minutes long is a drama. I don't think 544 00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:15.800 those categories necessarily apply anymore. And the actual rules on the Emmy's website saying 545 00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:17.760 of this, you have to submit at least your show has to be at 546 00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:22.880 least six episodes long, and of those six episodes, a majority of it 547 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:28.039 has to be comedic. So it's really up for interpretation. When it comes 548 00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:30.400 down to something like that, I would say, a majority of the Bear 549 00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:35.159 is not comedic. But are you actually going to sit there and measure in 550 00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:37.840 minutes how much is funny and how much is not. No, I don't 551 00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:40.800 think anybody's doing that, And ultimately, it would be up for the Academy 552 00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:44.840 to say, no, we don't think this is a comedy, that it's 553 00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:49.000 a drama, but it's going to go where it can win, and it's 554 00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:53.079 had great success in the comedy category so far, so I can't blame FX 555 00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:57.000 for keeping it in that category. I think that they should have a new 556 00:40:57.360 --> 00:41:02.840 category called the super stressful Show. I'm just stressed out watching that show. 557 00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:06.679 Yeah, yeah, tension show exactly. Yeah, yep. All right, 558 00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:09.239 Jason Nathanson, thanks so much for your time. All right, figure we 559 00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:15.800 got twisted with Jason today.
