So I'm kind of basking in 6 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:42.920 the Dodgers big seven to one win over Saint Louis yesterday at the season home 7 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:49.679 opener Dodger Stadium. Weather was absolutely perfect, Like there were clouds around the 8 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:56.439 peripheral areas of southern California, but right over Dodger Stadium it was sunny and 9 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.799 beautiful and it was very cool. They do, you know, big ceremonies 10 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.000 for opening day, and they had the players walk down not their red carpet, 11 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.959 but the blue carpet from the outfield as they were introduced by Brian Cranston. 12 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.239 That was kind of fun, and of course the crowd went The crowd 13 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.719 went wild for several several players, you know Mookie Bets of course he's huge 14 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:25.519 right now. And Clayton Kershaw, who wasn't in the starting lineup yesterday, 15 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.079 but still you know, fan favorite and of course our new Dodger show. 16 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.879 Hey, Josh Grobin did the national anthem and it culminated with an F fifteen 17 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.280 and a K one thirty five flyover, So you got the fighter jets, 18 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.439 the little ones, and then this K one thirty five. I think it's 19 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.599 a I think it's a refueling plane. It's a big old plane. That 20 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.519 was cool, and the crowd of course went wild for show. Hey, 21 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:55.519 so I got his first at bat on video and if you haven't seen it, 22 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.040 or you didn't see it or you didn't hear it on A five seventy 23 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.760 yesterday, you can check it out on my instagram at Amy K. King. 24 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.319 It was so fun. He hits the ball off the he goes, 25 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:14.159 Mookie's already on base, he's running and the crowd's going wild, and then 26 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.879 he gets picked off. I think it's called a pickle play. He got 27 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:22.639 stuck between second and third base because Mookie didn't run for home. So anyway, 28 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.360 it was very fun. Again, that's on my instagram at Amy K. 29 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:28.439 King. I invite you to go take a look at it. Here's 30 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.680 what's ahead on wake Up Call Easter weekend is going to be a wet one. 31 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.919 Forecasters say a storm moving through is going to dump a couple of inches 32 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.319 of rain on southern California, with the strongest rain expected tomorrow. Snow's possible 33 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.960 about five thousand feet. Fourteen people have been hurt in a metro bus crash 34 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.800 with at least two other cars. The crash happened yesterday afternoon near Lamert Park. 35 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.520 Nine of the people hurt were taken to the hospital. President Biden held 36 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.560 a star studded fundraiser in New York City last night. We're gonna be talking 37 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.879 with ABC's Karen Travers in just a couple of minutes to find out who was 38 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.240 there, how much people paid, and how how much the Biden campaign raked 39 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.759 in for his reelection. At five point fifty, Jason Nathanson says, it's 40 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.520 going to be a monster weekend at the box office, Like really a monster 41 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:14.000 weekend. Also, what's new on the stream At six oh five, it's 42 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:19.759 handle on the news the Biden administration is sending millions of dollars to Maryland because 43 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.000 of the bridge collapse. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out 44 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.439 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The La County DA says two men 45 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.639 accused of murdering a man at LA Live have been arrested. Investigators say the 46 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.199 shooting death of Barrett Morris while he was eating at a restaurant at LA Live 47 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.960 last November shocked the community. After arresting Morris's two accused killers this week, 48 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:44.120 LA County District Attorney George Gascone says he has a message for residents and visitors. 49 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.680 It is safe to go to LA Life. This was a very targeted 50 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:52.919 event. LAPD Assistant Chief Blake Chow also stressed Morris's killing was not a random 51 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.400 act of violence. I wanted to assure the public that they are safe together 52 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.240 and dining at LA Live. Philip Clark and Santa Anna Kelly have been charged 53 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.199 with murder Michael Monks KFI News. A new poll shows Americans are more worried 54 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.919 about immigrants committing crimes in the US than they were a few years ago. 55 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:14.240 About four and ten say legal immigration to the US is beneficial to the economy 56 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.040 and culture, but that sentiment is down since twenty seventeen. The Associated Press 57 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:24.319 Nork Center for Public Affairs Research found Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say 58 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:29.560 immigration is an important issue for them personally. The number of immigrants transferred to 59 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:34.920 ICE for deportation by Orange County sheriff as spiked twelve hundred percent in the last 60 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:40.800 year. Nobody is saying release folks. Early OC Supervisor Vincent Sarmiento says the 61 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:45.920 state sanctuary law prevents local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE on non violent crimes 62 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.879 to protect their rights. Plus, it's whether or not this county should serve 63 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:54.240 a federal function. Oh C Sheriff Don Barnes told supervisors Tuesday he understands the 64 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.240 passion for inmate rights, but none of the speakers both get out the victims 65 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.120 and families who are impacts. Barnes says the spike from seventeen transfers in twenty 66 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.600 twenty two to two hundred and twenty last year was entirely up to ICE. 67 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:11.879 In Orange County. Corbin Carson kaf I News. Christians are celebrating Good Friday. 68 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.720 It commemorates the day Jesus died on the Cross. Some churches set up 69 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.759 a wooden cross for people to meditate in front of it. Others make the 70 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:23.680 stations of the Cross, which is a devotion that recalls the journey of Jesus 71 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.079 to his crucifixion. For a lot of Christians, Good Fridays also a day 72 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.319 of fasting and penance. Now, let's say good morning too, ABC's Karen 73 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:38.040 Travers, So, Karen, President Biden raised a whole lot of money last 74 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.439 night with a little help from his friends. It was a significant amount of 75 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.000 money, with some help from some pretty high profile friends. You might have 76 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.319 heard of them before, former President Bill Clinton and Barack Obama on stage last 77 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:56.000 night together with Joe Biden, raising twenty six million dollars at a star studied 78 00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:00.279 fundraiser at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The Biden campaign says this was 79 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.560 a historic night, the single most amount of money raised at a single event 80 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.160 like that, and that they raised more in one night at that event than 81 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:13.639 Donald Trump raised all last month in February, so pretty significant for them. 82 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.279 They are really trying to lean into this fundraising advantage they have, and they're 83 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.759 hoping that this gives them a little boost of energy too. And also just 84 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:25.399 good to have the former presidents out there touting the Biden message, getting them 85 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.959 to try to rev up Democratic voters and independent voters as well, but you 86 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.959 know, it was a night where they were talking about the former president and 87 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.040 what his second term could be in the White House, but also trying to 88 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:43.480 highlight Joe Biden's record and energize voters around that. Yeah, and Obama's still 89 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.680 the draw. I mean, you know, yeah, I don't think Biden 90 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.639 would have even with the stars, he wouldn't have drawn that. But an 91 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:57.240 event last fall, I think it was on Broadway and it was a pretty 92 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.199 big night with the First Lady and the President and Broadway stars. When the 93 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.120 President was up there for the United Nations, but obviously bringing Barack Obama, 94 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.000 bringing Bill Clinton. That really ups the glam quite a bit there too. 95 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.120 And people were paying from two hundred and twenty five dollars to a half million 96 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:18.120 dollars for VIP packages. What did they taken? Photos taken little VIP time 97 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.399 with the presidents. I think there was a you get your picture taken by 98 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:26.879 any Lebowitz if you paid a certain amount of money, so you know, 99 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.160 if you put out enough with the checkbook, you could get a little special 100 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.879 access. But you know, there were no cameras allowed into Radio City Music 101 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.000 Hall for it last night. People in the room could record all they wanted 102 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.240 on their phones. Reporters were allowed in like we are for all of the 103 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.800 fundraisers the president does. But you're not going to see a lot of clips 104 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.319 of it officially from news media, but you'll probably see some you know, 105 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.600 grainy cell phone video of it instead. But interestingly, you know, we 106 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.800 did get full report of what was said, and like I said, it 107 00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:01.800 was really about making the case against a Donald Trump's second term, but also 108 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:05.839 trying to highlight what they say were President Biden's achievements over the last couple of 109 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.399 years. Barack Obama said, it's not just the negative case against the presumptive 110 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.399 nominee. On the other side, he said that without ever saying Donald Trump's 111 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.439 name, they're so funny because they just won't say his name. I know, 112 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.879 it is interesting, you know, And Joe Biden is doing it more 113 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.759 now than he was a couple of weeks ago, but he does it only 114 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.959 in certain settings, Like he doesn't do it at the official events, he 115 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.039 says my predecessor, the campaign events, he'll say Donald Trumps. He really 116 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.960 is able to process the difference of those two different types of events. But 117 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.720 I think, you know, the former presidents were trying to be careful of 118 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:45.720 not saying it explicitly last night. Yeah, okay, So while they were 119 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.399 getting ready for that fundraiser, former President Trump was at the funeral for that 120 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.000 NYPD officer who was shot and killed, Yeah, by a guy who's been 121 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.840 arrested like twenty times. Was there? I mean, obviously at the fundraiser 122 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:05.519 there wasn't any bad vibes, But overall, is that sort of a bad 123 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.960 look that he's at a fundraiser and the former president's helping pay respects to a 124 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.120 fallen police officer. I mean, I think if you, I think maybe 125 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.600 some were making it out to be. I think the campaign wasn't responding on 126 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:22.559 that. They know, I'm not going to ragh In on what they would 127 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.519 say about that. We could ask them about that. But you know, 128 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.279 one thing I will note that ifyone's kind to say about, like the vibes 129 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.519 at the event, there were a lot of protests actually at the fundraiser. 130 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.480 And this is certainly something you and I have talked about before at other events 131 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.519 of the president getting interrupted at events. There were protesters outside and there were 132 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.639 some inside interrupting, Yeah, interrupting the program. I think it was at 133 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.919 least six times, talking about genocide, talking about aid to Gaza. At 134 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.360 one point Barack Obama was interrupted while he was speaking about Gaza, and he 135 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.879 kind of interrupted back and said, no, listen, you can't just talk 136 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.000 and not listen. And he got a standing over for that. Yeah, 137 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.519 and just think those guys had to pay so they could protest. Interesting. 138 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.080 All right, Karen Travis, thank you so much. Have a wonderful weekend 139 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.240 and happy Easter. Thank you very much. Have a great weekend you too. 140 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.440 All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 141 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.679 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. La Mayor Bass has announced the expansion of 142 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:22.679 her policy to use more land owned by the city to build housing for homeless 143 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.639 people. Homeless advocate Ted Hayes says that strategy is not going to work. 144 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.000 Karen Bass knows better geo politically, gelf physically, there is no place to 145 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.840 build housing, even on public property. Even if you did put a few 146 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.639 people in some kind of housing by government money, where do they go from 147 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.879 there? In Los Angeles, Hey says the way to cut down on the 148 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.039 number of people on the streets is to move them to federal land voluntarily. 149 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.679 Bass also says the city's going to tow store and get rid of surrendered vehicles 150 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.720 in an effort to break up RV encampments. Bass says in the future, 151 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.879 her updated policy is going to help establish sites for her safe RV parking and 152 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.840 connect people living in RVs with services. Baele County Health Department has released its 153 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.720 tri annual report on the health and well being of people throughout the county. 154 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.320 The random sampling of people from different ages and background shows more than one in 155 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.919 five Asian adults had thoughts of suicide, the highest percentage of all racial and 156 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.440 ethnic groups. Rashmishakiri's the county's chief science officer, and says stats also show 157 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.279 a disproportionate number of Black adults with high blood pressure. Adults eighteen years an 158 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.240 older who reported ever being diagnosed with hypertension or high blood pressure has gone up 159 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.519 and continues to go up. The report also noted more than fifty percent of 160 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.840 the people living below the federal poverty line consume more sugary drinks and fast food 161 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.600 than those above the poverty line.

We've got so many things going on this weekend with the 171 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.639 Easter upon us, but wonder Con is one of those events that is super 172 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.759 exciting because if you're familiar with Comic Con down in San Diego, that kind 173 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.600 of takes over the entire city and that'll be in a couple of months. 174 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:33.000 Wonder Con is its sister show that's here a little bit closer to homes. 175 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.399 So is it the same the same basic thing. It's all commed, relatively 176 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.720 speaking, it's all comics. There is a lot of a lean in here 177 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:46.279 into anime. So if you lyre into anime from Japan and from manga and 178 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.440 everything else, to that effect. This definitely has a little bit more focus 179 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.600 on that. Where it's Comic Con in San Diego, you see a lot 180 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.080 of brands that are putting out, you know, their new TV shows that 181 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.480 are coming on. That still happens here wonder Con for maybe the summer season, 182 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.679 things that are going to be coming on, where Comic Con focuses on 183 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.799 what's coming up for the fall. But wonder Con is a little bit smaller, 184 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.639 but it's still pretty massive, and it takes over the Anaheim Convention Center 185 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.080 just south of the Disneyland resort. So if you are headed over to Disneyland 186 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.799 this weekend, it's gonna be extra special for your Easter Holiday weekend because there's 187 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:18.240 just so much going on there, being able to check out cool merchandise, 188 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.919 new shows that are coming for the summer season, and be able to celebrate 189 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.519 shows that maybe you've really enjoyed for many, many years. So wonder Con 190 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.879 is one of those things that's definitely worth checking out for this weekend. And 191 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.799 it also is going to be a beautiful weekend. Hopefully we'll see how the 192 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.720 weather holds up, but it's gonna be crazy, yeah, I know, 193 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.320 Well that's what I'm saying you want you want fun activities to go to that 194 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.960 are going to be inside, and so one hundred years of Arts at the 195 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.320 Balboa Theater down in San Diego celebrating.

So there's 204 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.000 that fun activity. And then if you're looking for something fun to do in 205 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.639 the morning, I want to take a little trip down to San Diego. 206 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.200 Ten am.

There you go where you 219 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.639 can find out all the fun things to do around Southern California this weekend with 220 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.600 Nick. Thank you Nick. An atmospheric river storm is headed to southern California, 221 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:33.559 with heavy rain expected to start falling after midnight Tonight. Forecasters say one 222 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.440 to two and a half inches of rain could fall in the valley and coastal 223 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.559 areas, three to five inches as possible in the foothills and mountains. The 224 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:45.519 Biden administration has approved sixty million dollars in emergency relief funds for Maryland following the 225 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.639 collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The money is going to go towards 226 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:54.639 managing ongoing disruptions to traffic supply chains and is the first step in a joint 227 00:15:54.679 --> 00:16:02.279 effort to reconstruct the fallen bridge. Fast food prices are to be hiked starting 228 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.399 Monday, when the state's minimum wage for fast food workers goes up to twenty 229 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.960 bucks an hour At six so five at tandle on the News, President Biden 230 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.360 just raised twenty five million dollars for his campaign, thanks to a little help 231 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:17.960 from his friends. Let's say good morning now. To ABC's Jim Ryan, 232 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:23.919 speaking of the president, seventy percent don't want a Biden Trump rematched, seventy 233 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:27.000 percent of Americans don't want to see this race. Well, then, maybe 234 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.559 out of a lock. It looks as though those two President Biden and former 235 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.879 President Trump will be the nominee's for the two major parties, leaving people with 236 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:37.399 little choice. For I mean, what are you going to do right in 237 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.279 literally anybody else? Well, yeah, you could do that. There's a 238 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:47.320 guy could and there's a guy here in Dallas forworth. He's a seventh grade 239 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:49.679 math teacher, an army vat thirty five years old. Thirty five makes you 240 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:55.759 old enough constitutionally to run for the president. Is his name? He was 241 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.240 born Dustin Ebe. That was his name at birth, and it was until 242 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.799 he changed his name recently too, legally changed its name to literally anybody else, 243 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:10.200 literally anybody else. So is anybody his middle name now literally anybody? 244 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:15.400 Last name else, first name literally and middling anybody And so yeah, I 245 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.640 mean, the way to get onto the ballot without necessarily getting onto the ballot. 246 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.519 But he's out campaign. He's serious about this, he says, I 247 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.119 mean, his goal is to be a protest candidate, to make a point 248 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:30.279 about people's dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs. In real terms, he 249 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.799 has to gather up one hundred and thirteen thousand signatures from Texas people from Texans 250 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.440 who didn't vote in the primary to get his name on the general election ballot. 251 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.799 Barring that, people anywhere in the country, including in California, I 252 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:48.160 suppose could just write in literally anybody else on the November ballot, but below 253 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.880 the names Biden and Trump. Well, he obviously doesn't have a shot. 254 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:56.319 But like you said, it is a sign of the frustration of the electorate. 255 00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.440 And it happens every year. Somebody runs just to make a point about 256 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:06.400 something, to get their message out. His message is simply about voter dissatisfaction, 257 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:10.000 and it's catching a little traction, if not votes, at least some 258 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:15.759 attention. Are pollsters and the people who watch voters and what they're going to 259 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:21.640 do. Are they showing any indication that the discussed with these two candidates or 260 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:26.039 not the discust necessarily, but just the sort of indifference or dislike for them 261 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.559 is going to drive down voter turnouts. Yeah. Absolutely. The poll that 262 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.200 came out just two days ago, this was an AP NORC poll that came 263 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:38.839 out in Unsay, Chicago, about four inten adults are fearful about another four 264 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.279 years with Donald Trump as president. Three and ten feel about the same with 265 00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:48.119 Joe Biden, And only a quarter of the public is excited or satisfied about 266 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.039 either candidate's reelection, and you're right, both parties are concerned that that's going 267 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.720 to drive down the voter turnout in November, and I think almost certainly it 268 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.359 would. People will either hold their nose and going to the god the polling 269 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.759 place where they'll say, forget it. I'm just going to stay home, 270 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.400 let the chips fall where they may, and we'll see what happens four years 271 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.000 from now. So sure, that's that's a big concern. Okay, literally, 272 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.599 anybody else, I have a feeling he's going to get a lot of 273 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.680 oats. Thank you, Jim Ryan, just by an accident. Probably have 274 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.319 a wonderful weekend, Happy Easter, same to you. Here's some of the 275 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:23.279 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A woman who went 276 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:29.240 brawless on a flight to San Francisco says she wants Delta's policy changed because she 277 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:32.720 was forced to cover up. The woman filed complaints with the airline after she 278 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:36.039 says a gate agent told her that her white T shirt exposing her breasts and 279 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:41.000 nipples was offensive. Lisa Archbold says she was targeted and humiliated. She came 280 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:45.160 to my seat and loudly asked to speak to me in private, and escorted 281 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.920 me off the plane as though it was a criminal. Attorney Gloria Already says 282 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.119 Delta's policy is unlawfully discriminatory. Rest are not weapons of war, and it's 283 00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:56.559 not a crime for a woman or girl to have the Archbold says she was 284 00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.680 only allowed back on the plane in January after she covered her shirt. Chris 285 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:04.960 Adler KAFI News. A woman suspected in the kidnapping and killing of an eight 286 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.359 year old girl in Mexico has been beaten to death by a mob. Police 287 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:14.480 in the tourist city of tax Goo had detained the woman. The mob pulled 288 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.559 her from a patrol car yesterday and started kicking and beating her. Her body 289 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.319 was found on a road on the outskirts of the city. The mayor says 290 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.640 two men were also beaten by the mob. Vice President Harris has announced a 291 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:30.279 set of new AI regulations. ABC's j O'Brien says the policies will require federal 292 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:34.720 agencies to demonstrate how the AI tools they use do not endanger Americans rights. 293 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:40.160 One example, the White House says travelers at airports can opt out of participating 294 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:45.359 in tsa facial recognition which uses AI software, Obrien says. Under the guidelines 295 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.079 announced yesterday, each federal agency will also have to appoint a Chief AI Officer. 296 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.640 The officer will provide oversight in how the agency is using the technology. 297 00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.960 Today's kind of the calumn before the storm that's expected to roll into southern California 298 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.240 tonight. We're looking at at one to two inches of rain all coast and 299 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.839 valleys and mountains. The rainfall rates, they're not extreme, but they are 300 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.599 moderate to heavy on Saturday, so keep that in mind. Saturday we could 301 00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:15.680 see some urban flooding. National Weather Services Alex Tarti says there will also be 302 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.000 a winter storm watch in the mountains for one to four inches of snow above 303 00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.559 five thousand feet. And Mother Nature is messing with the Easter Bunny. Santa 304 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:27.200 Anita Park's annual Easter egg hunt, built as the largest in the San Gabriel 305 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:32.440 Valley, postponed because of a forecast of heavy rain. It's been rescheduled for 306 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:37.119 next weekend. The spring Carnival in the Infield that was scheduled to start tomorrow 307 00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.160 will run for four days instead of eight. It'll go from April fourth through 308 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:44.559 the seventh, and all horse racing has been canceled for the weekend. It'll 309 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.799 be made up next Thursday. The Easter weekend is going to be a wet 310 00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.480 one. Forecasters say a storm moving through is going to dump a couple inches 311 00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:55.000 of rain on southern California, with the strongest of the rain expected tomorrow, 312 00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:59.920 Snows possible above five thousand feet. Fourteen people have been hurt in a metro 313 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.240 ro bus crash with at least two other cars. The crash happened yesterday afternoon 314 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.039 near Lamart Park. Nine of the people hurt were taken to the hospital. 315 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:12.359 President Biden has held a star studded fundraiser in New York. He was joined 316 00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:18.400 on stage by former Presidents Obama and Clinton. Queen Latifa and Lizzo were among 317 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.960 the celebrities who showed up for the sold out event at Madison Square Garden. 318 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.960 It raked in more than twenty five million dollars for Biden's reelection campaign. At 319 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.279 six oh five, it's handle on the news the former King of Crypto is 320 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.000 headed to prison for a long time. At five point fifty, we're going 321 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.839 to be checking in with Jason Nathanson, who says it's going to be a 322 00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:40.000 monstrous weekend. At the box office. But right now, let's say good 323 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.759 morning to the house whisper and the host of home right here on KFI. 324 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:47.400 It's Dean Sharp. Good morning, Dean, Good morning Amy. Okay, 325 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:49.319 so we got a nice cool week on the way. It's been kind of 326 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:53.359 a cool winter and springs so far, but the heat's not far away. 327 00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:59.400 Yeah, it's true. And even it's a little bit counterintuitor because everybody's just 328 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.279 like, hey, you can we just relax a little bit. We're just 329 00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:04.440 pulling out a winter here. But you know, if you're a homeowner and 330 00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:08.519 you're thinking about making a big change with your heating and air conditioning system, 331 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.839 Unfortunately, right now, right now, before the heat arrives in, you 332 00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:18.119 know, a couple three months now is the time to work out those details 333 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.960 and figure it all out. So, yeah, we're talking HVAC. Okay, 334 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:27.160 so you're talking about replacing your HVAC to make things run a little more 335 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:32.079 smoothly in your house. This is true if you are scheduled, I mean, 336 00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.680 if it's time. If it's time, then you may want to consider 337 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:41.319 at least taking a look at what is the most cutting edge heating and air 338 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.759 conditioning systems out there. Maybe it's not in your budget, but you know 339 00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.839 they're becoming more and more affordable. And I tell you this, in the 340 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.119 next ten years or so, what I'm talking about today is going to become 341 00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:56.519 just the standard for everybody. And what that essentially is when it comes to 342 00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:02.359 air conditioning, is what we call a variable speed air condition and it's brilliant. 343 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:08.000 It runs almost all day long, can and again a little counterintuitive because 344 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:12.599 it also saves you a ton of money. And the reason it works that 345 00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:18.440 magic amy is because it's a full size air conditioner, but the variable speed 346 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:26.480 means that it is it has the capacity to ratchet itself down to just putting 347 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:33.119 out enough to let's say, cool a single room or two in your home. 348 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.039 And that is where it's magic lies, because if you combine that kind 349 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:42.440 of a unit with electronic dampers that are up there closing and opening doors in 350 00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:47.000 your ducks, then what happens is we can get your house to temperature. 351 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.440 Let's say we get it to a nice comfortable seventy two degrees, and you've 352 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.039 got some hot spots and some cold spots in your house. It doesn't matter 353 00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:59.599 all throughout the day. It notices, oh hey, the kitchen just went 354 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.920 up a agree or two. It shuts down all the air flowed everywhere else 355 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.799 in the house, ratchet itself down to a tiny little air conditioner, just 356 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:12.839 touches up the kitchen, just tops off kitchen as far as bringing it to 357 00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:17.279 temperature, and then back to the rest of the house. And what it's 358 00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:21.839 doing all day long is just these little touch ups, these little top offs 359 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:27.200 everywhere there is a need instead of going full on and full off all day 360 00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:33.880 long. And we're talking about a third of energy savings with a unit like 361 00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.640 this. Oh wow, So it's a smart air conditioner. Who knew it's 362 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.359 a smart air conditioner. You end up putting a sensor, not a thermostat, 363 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.279 but a sensor in every single room in the house, and therefore it 364 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:49.960 just monitors everything. And talk about uniform air temperature throughout the house. Upstairs 365 00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:53.640 downstairs doesn't matter. That would be cool, because like I know that in 366 00:25:53.680 --> 00:26:00.799 my house, the upstairs back bedroom just is a little oven, but just 367 00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.160 because of the way the sun hits it and stuff, and the rest of 368 00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:06.759 the house is okay, but if you go in there, you know it's 369 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.079 hotter than everywhere else. So I love the idea of kind of making a 370 00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:15.400 uniform temperature exactly, and that's always been the classic problem with a unit that 371 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.960 just goes full on, full off, because you know, heat rises, 372 00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.119 so upstairs is always warmer than downstairs, and the side of the house that's 373 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:29.079 facing south always getting warmer even than that. And so this way it's individualized 374 00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:33.880 attention exactly where it's needed. Okay, So also this winter, I noticed 375 00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:38.759 my furnace was on a lot and you have an idea to get rid of 376 00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:41.720 an old furnace, and what would you replace it with. Well, these 377 00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.319 days, especially in southern California, if again, if you're changing out your 378 00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:51.200 system, you really want to have a conversation with your HVAC person about possibly 379 00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:55.119 putting in a heat pump instead of a gas furnace, because you don't need 380 00:26:55.119 --> 00:27:00.279 to keep up. A heat pump is essentially an air conditioner that works in 381 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.880 reverse. That's the easiest way to explain it. So there is no gas, 382 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:08.440 there is no furnace, there's no burners, and heat pumps work great 383 00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:12.559 in temperate climates like we have here in Socao, where we don't get a 384 00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:18.039 lot of you know, twenty something degree days. They're a milder heat, 385 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:25.880 which makes them actually really lovely, and they don't disrupt allergies and allergens and 386 00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.799 blow all of that stuff into the house as well. So generally speaking, 387 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:34.200 especially in an area like California where we're electrifying everything and gas is on its 388 00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:40.160 way out, heat pumps are a brilliant idea solution. If you have solar 389 00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:42.799 on your house, it's going to save you even more energy because it's going 390 00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:45.839 to be part of your electric build that's already being covered by your solar. 391 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.799 So he pumps are an absolute reality. We can't recommend them if you live 392 00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:53.480 up in the mountains or if you live out in the middle of Montana where 393 00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:59.279 it gets down to you know, negative zero. But in southern California, 394 00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:03.359 even our worst winter days, a heat pump will keep you toasty and warm. 395 00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.400 Okay. Now, if we're talking about things, if you're looking at 396 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.759 replacing these systems, if you don't need to replace your air conditioner ahead of 397 00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:15.279 the hot season, you say that, to take care of your HVAC, 398 00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:18.359 there's one thing you gotta do. You have one job. One job. 399 00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:23.480 What is job? Change that filter out? Keep that filter changed. Okay, 400 00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:26.839 And if you have trouble remembering, and everybody does. It's always like, 401 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.680 oh yeah, yeah, you know what. I recommend you go to 402 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:34.519 a place like filter buy dot com. Filter buy dot Com. You put 403 00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:40.480 in your filter that your unit takes, and you get on a subscription and 404 00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:45.160 they will send you one every ninety days, which is about when you should 405 00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:47.799 change it out. One will show up on your doorstep and you're like, 406 00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:49.759 huh, my filter showed up. I'll just change it out right here. 407 00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:56.119 And that's literally the one major thing that every homeowner should do to their HVA 408 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.640 system. Otherwise they shouldn't fiddle with it. That's it's the one thing. 409 00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.079 It's your one job. Keep that filter clear. It's not just for you. 410 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:07.240 In fact, it's not even primarily for you. It's for the health 411 00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:10.720 of your system. Okay. Great Dean Sharp, thank you for the tips 412 00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:15.759 and for more great tips and trips on how to get your house ready for 413 00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:19.359 twenty first century solutions for heating and air conditioning. You canna be talking about 414 00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:25.240 it this weekend on Home with Dean Sharp Saturday from six to eight am, 415 00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.759 Sunday from nine to noon. Always enjoy talking to you, Dean. Thank 416 00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:30.440 you always a pleasure. Amy All right, Let's get back to some of 417 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.960 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The La City 418 00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:40.200 Ethics Commission has accused city councilman Cure and Price of conflict of interest violations. 419 00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:44.960 The Ethics Commission will likely hold an evidentiary hearing before it's five members will determine 420 00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:48.519 if the violations are valid and what penalty should be applied. Sources say the 421 00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:53.400 alleged violations are similar in theme to charges brought down by the La County DA's 422 00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:57.200 office last year. Price has been accused of voting to support the projects of 423 00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:02.720 developers who paid his wife's for from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty one. Price 424 00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:06.839 is pleaded not guilty to the charges. A trial date has not been set 425 00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:10.319 yet. Price is set to return to court next month for a hearing. 426 00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:15.960 Blake Trolli KA Fine News. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department says it is 427 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:21.319 investigating the use of force during an arrest in Hesperia. Some claim deputies used 428 00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:25.759 excessive force on Tuesday on an alleged armed robber they had on the ground. 429 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:29.880 Video shows several deputies on top of the guy. One of them can be 430 00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.160 seen using his knee and fist to hit the man in the head. Protesters 431 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:38.640 demanding a ceasefire in the Israel Hamas War of interrupted President Biden's fundraiser at Radio 432 00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:44.160 City Music Hall. The disruption prompted Biden to pledge to keep working to stop 433 00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:49.319 civilian deaths in Gaza. Hundreds of other protesters stood outside the Madison Square Radio 434 00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:56.359 City Music Hall waving Palestinian flags. The event raised twenty five million dollars for 435 00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.880 Biden's re election campaign. Former Presidents Obama and Clinton We're there, and celebrities 436 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:06.839 including Lizzo, Mindy Kayling, Did I Say Mizzo?

Forecasters say one to two and a half inches of rain could 444 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.440 fall in the valley in Coastalarius, three to five inches of rain as possible 445 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:48.559 in the foothills and mountains. Fast food prices are expected to go up starting 446 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.680 on Monday.

She's also teamed up with pop stars Post Malone 451 00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:14.559 and Miley Cyrus and has a cover of the Beatles Blackbird. We're just minutes 452 00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.160 away from handle On the news this morning, President Biden's campaign just raised twenty 453 00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:22.400 five million bucks at a fundraiser in New York City. Former President Trump's campaign 454 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.319 says it's going to try to beat that. Right now, let's say good 455 00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:30.400 morning to ABC's Jason Nathansen. Jason, it's a battle of the beasts at 456 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.440 the box office. Yes, Godzilla, Okay, this is where things get 457 00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.960 annoying for me already before even going into the movie Godzilla X Kong the New 458 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:40.920 Empire, that's what you're supposed to say is X. I don't know. 459 00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:45.759 That's the thing. We've seen this pop up in titles a lot over the 460 00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:50.519 past couple of years, like the iPhone ten X. But that's that iPhone 461 00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:54.119 X. That's that's ten. This is not Godzilla ten Kong. This is 462 00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:59.559 not to me. It looks like Godzilla times kongh, which I don't think 463 00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:02.240 is how you're supposed to say the name of this movie. Godzilla by Kong. 464 00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:07.640 Godzilla versus Kong was the last movie, so already I'm annoyed going into 465 00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:10.359 it with Godzilla X Kong the New Also, the New Empire is just lazy. 466 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:15.839 That's a they could do better than that. I think this is you 467 00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:16.960 know, I think you know where you're gonna get here. You're gonna get 468 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:20.480 a lot of Godzilla, You're gonna get a lot of Kong, a lot 469 00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:23.680 more Kong, I think than Godzilla. I like better. I think I 470 00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:27.599 like Kong better too. And he's a little more sympathetic, especially in this 471 00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:34.720 movie as well. And there's a baby gorilla there is although that's another problem 472 00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.359 with this movie, at least for a good part of it. The baby 473 00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:42.920 was who you know you want to be cute was annoying, more annoying than 474 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:47.680 cute, at least in the when you first meet this thing, and you 475 00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:52.839 spend a lot of time in Hollow Earth, which I liked because that's the 476 00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.480 area between I guess it's the center of the Earth or the middle of the 477 00:33:55.480 --> 00:34:00.559 Earth where these creatures come from. And it's like this upside down on right 478 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:04.440 side up world where there's mountains on the on the sky and waterfalls in the 479 00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:07.199 air and things like that. And that's close. So it looks like Pandora. 480 00:34:07.800 --> 00:34:10.719 Yeah, yeah, I mean kind of, but it's it's cool looking. 481 00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:15.000 But also it's a lot of CGI. I mean just a lot, 482 00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:19.880 as you would imagine, because there are no real King Kong's or godzillas, 483 00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:22.239 so they have to do with the CGI. But this looks like a video 484 00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:25.440 game a lot of the time. I hate that. Yeah, and it 485 00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:29.920 was it just it Also I found as a board several times, which is 486 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:32.360 shouldn't be in a movie like this. They try to be funny, which 487 00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:37.079 I appreciate. I like humor, breaking up the tension. But a lot 488 00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:40.239 of the jokes fell flat. I think they tried a little too hard for 489 00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:45.280 the for the humor. So, you know, not really my thing, 490 00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:50.280 but it's gonna win the weekend. And if you're looking on, you know, 491 00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:52.920 at other critics and stuff, rotten tomatoes. Fifty six percent from critics, 492 00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:58.320 not great, ninety three percent from early audiences who went to see it 493 00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:01.559 Thursday night. So take that for what it is. Okay, Well let's 494 00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:05.079 move over to the stream now. If you don't want to go to the 495 00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.760 movie theater, what can we watch at home? Sure, there's a couple 496 00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:09.039 of things. One of my favorite, pick my pixel, oh the week 497 00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:14.559 I would say, is the Drod Carmichael Reality Show, which is you don't 498 00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:22.440 know what drawd Carmichael Reality Show, Okay. Drod Carmichael is a comedian who 499 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.920 a couple of years ago he won a Emmy for his HBO special in which 500 00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:30.079 he came out of the closet. It was it was a groundbreaking special. 501 00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:34.559 It was very interesting and it was very very good and very very personal in 502 00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:37.360 a way we don't see comedy specials like that, okay, ever before and 503 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:44.559 immediately after that, apparently he started having cameras follow him and which they did 504 00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:47.960 for the next eighteen months, and this is that footage. During the special, 505 00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:52.039 he talked a lot about his dealing with his mom and coming out and 506 00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.880 his parents really but also really focusing on his mom. She's a very devout 507 00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:59.519 Christian woman and how tough that was for her in the conversations that they had 508 00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:02.079 and how close they were and how close they were not in this show. 509 00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:09.039 Now you see their relationship and you see these really uncomfortable conversations. This show 510 00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:14.639 is a train wreck that you cannot stop watching, is yeah, and it 511 00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:20.079 is one of the most I mean again, it's it is called the Gerrod 512 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:22.719 Carmichael Reality Show, so you don't you have to take that with a grain 513 00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:28.239 AsSalt whether or not it's real or not. But it feels more real than 514 00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.159 anything that I've ever seen before. And it's not just the stuff with his 515 00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:35.920 mom that's really uncomfortable. There's stuff with his dad, the way he treats 516 00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:39.039 a lot of his friends pretty poorly, and the conversations they have about that 517 00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:45.320 fascinating stuff that I could not stop watching. So that premieeres tonight on HBO. 518 00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:50.039 I think it's going to be one episode a week. But really interesting 519 00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:54.400 stuff. Okay. So, and if you haven't watched the special, I 520 00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:59.360 would say watch the comedy special first and then get into the show. So 521 00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:01.400 go watch laugh with him before you go, Wow, what a train wreck. 522 00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:05.920 The comedy specials not a lot of laughs. I mean there are, 523 00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:09.639 it is, but it's also very serious. It's this very interesting, kind 524 00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:15.480 of pioneering confessional style of comedy that he has. It's funny, but it's 525 00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.039 also very serious. Okay. And this just came in. It just crossed 526 00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:21.679 Jason. I don't know if you've even seen it yet, but we just 527 00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:24.840 got where the Lewis Gasset Junior has died. I did not see that. 528 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:29.000 No, Yeah, it just happened. He was eighty seven, first black 529 00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:31.880 man to win the Best Supporting Actor OSCAR for an Officer and a Gentleman. 530 00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:37.280 He was fantastic. Yeah, he was. All right, Jason Nathanson, 531 00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:38.199 thank you so much. All right, take care, all right, touch 532 00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:42.599 to you next week. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 533 00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.400 of the KFI twenty four hour news room. Two people have been killed in 534 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:49.159 a crash involving a would be hit and run driver in Jefferson Park. The 535 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:53.119 crash happened just before noon yesterday near Arlington Avenue and twenty ninth Street. Detective 536 00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:58.480 Ryan Moreno says a black BMW was speeding on Arlington when the driver ran a 537 00:37:58.519 --> 00:38:02.599 red light and rear ended aard UPS truck. The vehicle basically after the first 538 00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:08.360 closion kind of got lost airborne a two oncoming trappic. The BMW also hit 539 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:12.480 some parked cars. A woman in the front passenger seat and a man in 540 00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:16.159 the backseat were both ejected and killed. Witnesses told police the driver tried to 541 00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:21.280 run away, but they stopped him. The largest crane on the Eastern Seaboard 542 00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:24.760 is arriving by barge in Baltimore so crews can start removing the wreckage from the 543 00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:30.400 collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge. The crane will be used to clear the channel 544 00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:34.360 in order to restart the search for four workers who are still missing, and 545 00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.880 reopened the Key shipping route. Another crane is also on the way. The 546 00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:43.320 bridge fell when it was hit by a cargo ship early Tuesday. Eight workers 547 00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:47.320 fell into the river below. Rebuilding the bridge is estimated to cost at least 548 00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:52.920 four hundred million dollars and take anywhere from eighteen months to several years. The 549 00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:57.519 costs range from the bridges designed to the abilities of government officials to get around 550 00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:01.639 all the bureaucracy and engineering profession Sure, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, 551 00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:06.639 says the project could take five to seven years.
