WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:06.440 You're listening to KFI AM sixty wake Up Call with Me Amy King on demand 2 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:15.359 on the iHeartRadio app KFI hand KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:27.399 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. It's 4 00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.280 five o'clock. This is your wake up call for Friday, April fifth. 5 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.039 I'm Amy King. Good morning. I think I need a little extra wake 6 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.359 up call. I just you know, when you get one of those big 7 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:40.880 stretches, right, you get up and get out of bed. I just 8 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:48.159 got another one this So four years ago, do you remember where you were? 9 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.880 I got a notification on Facebook, you know how every once in a 10 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.240 while goes, hey, here are some of your memories. And I was 11 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.799 like, what, what was my memory from four years ago? And it 12 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.439 was right in the height of the lockdown, because the lockdown started March nineteenth, 13 00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:07.560 right, so we were all sitting at home, We're all scared, 14 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.040 and in my neighborhood, and I know in a lot of neighborhoods in southern 15 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.840 California, because we couldn't gather, and we couldn't go anywhere, and you 16 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.280 know, you feel kind of powerless. We and I'm wondering if you did 17 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.159 this in your neighborhood. We would go out onto our balconies and our porches 18 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:33.400 or decks every night at eight o'clock and you would bang pots and pans, 19 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:38.280 and you would honk horns. And it was a way to say thank you 20 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:44.040 to the first responders and the medical personnel who were working so hard to save 21 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.480 lives during that time. And I recorded it because it was pretty powerful. 22 00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.079 I'm not sure how well it's going to come out across the radio, but 23 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.560 here is four years ago what it sounded. What it sounded like at eight 24 00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:07.960 o'clock every night, so people would you can hear them, like clanging pans 25 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:14.680 and yelling and honking horns. It was very cool. It was our way 26 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:21.400 to come together when we couldn't get together four years ago. Amazing. Here's 27 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.120 what's ahead on wake up call. A cold winter storm is bringing rain and 28 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:30.000 snow to southern California. The San Gabriel Mountains and fourteen Freeway Corridor are under 29 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.120 a winter storm warning until eleven tonight. Snow could fall as low as three 30 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.680 thousand feet and when guests are expected to blow up to forty five miles an 31 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.120 hour. The US Army Corps of Engineers says it hopes to get a shipping 32 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.479 lane open allowing access to the Port of Baltimore in the next four weeks. 33 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.879 President Biden's going to be visiting Baltimore today. We're going to be talking to 34 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.759 Karen Travers about that. In just a few minutes. Experts are warning people 35 00:02:53.800 --> 00:03:00.919 about fake eclipse glasses. The American Astronomical Society so issue should only where approved 36 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:06.599 eclipse glasses specially made to block out almost all visible light for the big celestial 37 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.319 event on Monday. We're going to be talking about the eclipse and how it 38 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:13.879 might end up being a big bust with ABC's Jim Ryan in just about three 39 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.080 minutes, and a little later on Wake Up called Jason Nathanson's going to be 40 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.240 letting us know what's new in theaters and on the stream and what show is 41 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.639 ending. It's run this weekend at six oh five. It's handle on the 42 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.360 news. Ukraine's weapons shortage is making it increasingly more difficult for Ukraine to gain 43 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.879 any ground in its war with Russia. Let's get started with some of the 44 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.680 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Investigators say they're trying 45 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.759 to figure out who stole close to thirty million dollars in cash from a warehouse 46 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.280 in sil Mar, and they say they really want to know how they stole 47 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.240 it. Sometime Easter Sunday, official say thieves entered the Garda World armored car 48 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.879 facility through the roof, though aerial photos also show a section of the outdoor 49 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.840 concrete wall boarded up. The facility, near the intersection of San Fernando Road 50 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.599 in Roxford, is home to dozens of light gray armored trucks with the word 51 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.840 Garda in red letters on Law Enforcement sources with knowledge of the story say it 52 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.639 appears whoever made their way into the building was able to bypass security systems and 53 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.680 open the vault. It could be the largest heist in LA's history. Steve 54 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.599 Gregory King of I News. People in the Hollywood Hills say they're worried about 55 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.240 a landslide that damaged and partially buried a home. As the storm moved in, 56 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:23.839 the property damaged Wednesday night, was being renovated. The shifting mud settled 57 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.480 on the rear part of the home as heavy dirt pushed its way through the 58 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.120 back patio door, fully covered the windows in parts of the roof and wrapped 59 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:36.439 around the exterior. The home has been red tagged. The Israeli military has 60 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:42.720 dismissed two officers and reprimanded three others for their roles in the drone strikes in 61 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:47.199 Gaza that killed seven aid workers. The military says a retired general's investigation into 62 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:55.120 the killings found the officers mishandled critical information and violated the army's rules of engagement. 63 00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.240 US Postal Service is about to officially unveil the commemorative Forever honoring former First 64 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.959 Lady Betty Ford. A dedication ceremony is going to be held later this morning 65 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:08.399 in Rancho Mirage. The stamp design was unveiled at the White House last month. 66 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:13.360 The former First Lady focused on treating substance abuse disorders in a residential setting. 67 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.800 The first of many nonprofits was established in Rancho Mirage more than forty years 68 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:23.720 ago. Time to say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, 69 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.519 is the eclipse going to turn out to be a big old nothing burger? 70 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.800 Well, no, I don't think so. Yeah, good checking. 71 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.199 The clouds are going to be a problem here in Texas. Every forecast I 72 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.160 think now is calling for a lot of cloud cover around the States. Which 73 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:42.560 is disappointing, I think to the potentially millions who are coming here from elsewhere 74 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.319 to experience the eclipse at one point thirty eight in the afternoon for most of 75 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.759 it. So yeah, it's it's disappointment. But even if it's cloudy, 76 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:55.480 even if it's raining, it's going to get much darker for those minutes that 77 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.399 the eclipse is happening. I'm going to be in Hillsboro, Texas, which 78 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.240 is renamed itself Eclipse Borough. They're totally into it. For the last two 79 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:08.360 years, that community has been planning for the arrival of the eclipse with music 80 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.439 festivals and carnivals and lecturers, all sorts of things going on there leading up 81 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:17.839 to the eclipse in the event itself. So it's sort of like Woodstock or 82 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:23.240 something, yeah, for the eclipse. Eclipse Stock, eclipse Stock. Okay, 83 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:28.800 And where where is the path of totality? Like, I know that 84 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.040 it passes through Texas, but what's its path up it does? Well, 85 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:39.439 it begins, if you will, down in the southern part of Texas, 86 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.839 down around Eagle Pass, that part of the US Mexico border we've heard so 87 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:48.600 much about lately. It comes through there and up through San Antonio and through 88 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:54.879 central Texas to Dallas Fort Worth, then the northeast part then Arkansas, Missouri, 89 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.319 a little tiny clip of Oklahoma. But from here in Texas, I 90 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.079 mean looking you know a map now of the forecast for clouds. It goes 91 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.920 from Texas all the way up to Indiana. Some level of clouds, and 92 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.920 you know, the best viewing at this point appears to be in New England, 93 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.199 way up in the northeast of Maine and Vermont and those places western New 94 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:21.160 York even and for people in California, we're expecting sunny skies, but we 95 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.839 don't get a full eclipse. We are going to get a partial though. 96 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.600 Yes you'll see some change and you know, some darkening. And I suspect 97 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.360 that eclipse glasses are being sold out there as well to folks to get them 98 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.959 ready for that. You can't just wear regular sunglasses. It's the highest of 99 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:43.879 the high end sunglasses. Your ray bands or whatever it might be. They 100 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.560 don't worry. They're not going to work in the eclipses. You co'd spend 101 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.879 seven hundred dollars on a pair of sunglasses. They're not going to protect your 102 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:54.959 eyes from the eclipse. Don't look at the sun wearing those things, the 103 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.800 eclipse glasses, which can be as little as a buck and a half or 104 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:03.560 two dollars made of cardboard. They are a thousand times darker than the highest 105 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.759 of high end sunglasses, and they will protect your eyes from the UV of 106 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.120 the eclipse. So don't look at the sun without those. Yeah. And 107 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:16.480 in fact, the American Astrological Society astronomical astronomical, not astrological. Okay, 108 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.079 there's they've put out warnings too, and they do have a list of reputable 109 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.399 eclipse glass makers on their website, yes, at aas dot org. I 110 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.399 looked it up this morning. Correct, you're right, And I know a 111 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.039 lot of convenience stores, a lot of the big box stores, home improvement 112 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.759 stores, they are stocking and selling these things for discount rates. They're not 113 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.320 expensive at all, but certainly worth the investment. It's worth your eyesight at 114 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.679 least. Yeah. Okay, So you mentioned that in Texas it's going to 115 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.320 hit totality at one thirty eight, So I think that's eleven thirty eight hour 116 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:56.840 time. And when does it start, Well, it's it starts at about 117 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.639 one o'clock central, so eleven o'clock your time. That it begins in Texas, 118 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.320 and of course the movement of the Sun of the moon together in this 119 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.639 case, they'll sort of dance and paint this stripe from southeast Texas all the 120 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.759 way up to the northeast part of the United States. That's why this is 121 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:20.200 such a big deal. This time around, it covers a much longer stretch 122 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.519 of the country, and it has a much wider path of totality. We're 123 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.240 talking about a twenty five hundred mile stripe from South Texas all the way up 124 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.879 through northeast Maine, one hundred and fifteen miles wide, total of totality, 125 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.440 total darkness, and then of course wider than that move out you get ninety 126 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.720 percent eighty percent. But the total path is huge, and so people are 127 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.240 willing to travel to be in that path of totality to experience it. So 128 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.120 in totality, which lasts a few minutes, if the skies are clear, 129 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.039 is it going to look like a regular night sky like you would see stars 130 00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.960 and stuff. Yes, you'll see start it's going to get much colder, 131 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.480 I'm told, Oh wow, animals start acting weird's birds you know, fly 132 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.720 home to roost because they think it's nighttime. It's going to be an unusual 133 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.440 situation, and of course, you know traffic lights. You hope traffic lights 134 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.759 come on because it will be dark. The highway information signs here in Texas, 135 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.039 a lot of them say if they're in the path of in fact, 136 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.639 the whole stage is going to experience something. The highway traffic signs say do 137 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:31.120 not stop on the freeway or the shoulders to look at the eclipse. There's 138 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.039 a potential for some traffic nightmares around here. Amy. Yeah. So if 139 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.200 I'm remembering from the last eclipse, because we had a partial one last one 140 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.840 because it was total up in Oregon. It's different than sunset because you know, 141 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.000 at sunset you still have the full sun even though it's setting. And 142 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:54.120 this I just remember everything just having not like a haze, but almost like 143 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.559 a almost like a haze, like like you just dim the lights. It 144 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.519 was so bizarre. So I'm so looking forward to this. Yeah, it's 145 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.919 going to be it'll be very, very cool. And if you've got the 146 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.159 sunglasses, if you've got the proper eclipse viewing glasses and you're looking at this 147 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.720 thing, you know you'll see this corona. You'll see this sort of ring 148 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.159 around the moon, you're looking at the moon, but the sun is, 149 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.720 you know, in relative terms, behind it, and it's going to be 150 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.360 very very interesting to see that. And again, but it's going to be 151 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.919 pretty much like nighttime, the middle of the night. Okay, Well, 152 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.679 Jim Ryan, let's hope that the forecast in time is so wrong and you 153 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.799 get to see some eclipse. Me too. I'm going to go down to 154 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.240 Hillsboron and watch her from there. One of the longest periods of darkness in 155 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.879 the whole country at four minutes twenty two seconds. All right, either whether 156 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.360 it's sunny or cloudy, I'm sure it's going to be spectacular. Yeah, 157 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.480 Jim Ryan, thank you so much. Have a great weekend. Let's get 158 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:50.320 back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 159 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:56.000 RV's may be banned from parking overnight in certain parts of La. RV 160 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.360 camps are found on city blocks across La, and neighbors have said they are 161 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.080 unsightly dangerous. LA City council Woman Heather Hutt agrees. She got the Transportation 162 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.399 Committee on Wednesday to vote to ban the large vehicles from parking between two and 163 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.799 six am on various blocks in her district, primarily north of the ten Freeway. 164 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.600 The LA Community Action Networks Daniel Telllton says the ban is wrong. We 165 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.320 need to concentrate on building and providing places for people to be, not creating 166 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.360 more places where it is illegal to be. The full Council will now take 167 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:30.080 up the issue. Michael Monks KFI news. LA's so called mansion tax has 168 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:35.080 raised two hundred and fifteen million dollars by taxing multimillion dollar home sales to fund 169 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.559 housing projects, and two million of that raised in the first year is expected 170 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:43.039 to go towards a one hundred eighty seven unit affordable housing project already underway. 171 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:48.720 Special education teacher Gloria Martinez says that measure ULA will be crucial in helping to 172 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.480 provide homes for homeless children. There is no escaping the trauma many of our 173 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:58.039 students face outside of our schools. They bring in that trauma into the classrooms 174 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.279 every day across the city. Developer said at a press conference yesterday. The 175 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.480 complex will offer studios one, two in three bedroom apartments and can house up 176 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.720 to five hundred people. Chris Adler kf I News. A thief disguised as 177 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.039 a trash bag has been caught on camera stealing a package from a home in 178 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.039 Sacramento. The home owner says he got a notification that a package had been 179 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.799 delivered on March twenty ninth, but it wasn't there when he went to check 180 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.840 for it, so he checked his door camp. He says. The door 181 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:30.360 cam shows a person crouched underneath a black garbage bag, creeping towards the front 182 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:35.360 door, then stealing the package. Three homes in Newport Beach have been yellow 183 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.960 tagged because of a partial cliff collapse. The homes aren't damaged from the landside 184 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.480 yesterday, but officials say residents need to get out just in case. A 185 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.519 landslide that happened in the same neighborhood last year led to the demolition of a 186 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:52.039 home. Israel says it's going to open more pathways for food to get into 187 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.519 gaza for thousands and thousands of Palestinians who are facing starvation. The announcement comes 188 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:01.679 after President Biden had a call with Trime Minister Benjamin NETANYAHUO yesterday. We're going 189 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.360 to be talking more about that call and what may come from it with ABC's 190 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.519 Karen Travers in just a minute ninety nine cents stores are going out of business. 191 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.360 The company says it will close all three hundred and seventy one of its 192 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.279 stores in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Texas. It says it's because 193 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:24.080 of financial difficulties that stem from the pandemic, from changing consumer demand, theft, 194 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.480 and rising inflation. At six oh five, a handle on the news, 195 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.879 President Biden's headed to Baltimore to take a look at that bridge collapse. 196 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.679 I'm sure he's going to have lots to say about that, but let's also 197 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.480 check in now with ABC's Karen Travers, who has something to say about that. 198 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.360 So the President's headed to Baltimore today, Yeah, he is, and 199 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.480 he'll first do an aerial tour of the Franciscott Key Bridge collapse site from Marine 200 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.879 one. He'll fly from the White House right to Baltimore, take that tour 201 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.320 in the air. I'm actually heading up there with him today and we'll also 202 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.559 get that aerial tour from a helicopter. Then the President will land nearby and 203 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.480 get a briefing on the response and recovery efforts so far, a check in 204 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.559 on how things have been working from the federal side of things, and hear 205 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.519 from state and local officials about what they need and what can be done still, 206 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.279 how long this recovery is going to take, and how things are working 207 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.720 so far. First responders will also be there. The President wants to thank 208 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.080 them for their work that day and what they've been doing in this process. 209 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.720 We expect he's going to deliver some remarks mid afternoon, and then the White 210 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.399 House has set aside a good block of time, about an hour and a 211 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.879 half. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being more for the President 212 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.879 to meet privately with loved ones of the workers that were killed in the bridge 213 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.840 collapse. The White House says he wants to show support, hear their stories. 214 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.919 You know, this is a thing he does often after disasters or other 215 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.279 tragic moments, just spending time with people who are going through something so horrible, 216 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.879 experiencing loss and just telling them, hey, he gets it and helps 217 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.559 them get through it. Yeah, and you mentioned he's going to be talking 218 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.759 to some of the first responders. Does that include the people who immediately made 219 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.600 the call to shut down traffic on the bridge. The White House did not 220 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:10.639 say specifically, So we should get a sense today, maybe get a list 221 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.600 of the people who are there, but those three different Highway patrol officers who 222 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.519 did make that Mayday call and were able to turn traffic around. They were 223 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.919 of course honored at the Orioles home opener last week and are being credited for 224 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.799 just incredibly quick thinking to make that happen. But we'll see if they're part 225 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.039 of the events for today for the President. Yeah, and they're making some 226 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:36.000 pretty decent project in getting the shipping channel reopened. Yeah, that's you know, 227 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.600 they announced that they're trying to get it open by May. I mean, 228 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.240 they're really trying to move quickly, but as we've talked about it, 229 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.720 it's just such a painstakingly complicated process. The other thing they're trying to do 230 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.919 now is the White House officially today ahead of the President's visit, sent to 231 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:55.559 Congress the formal request for the federal government to cover the full cost of the 232 00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:00.159 rebuilding and the Budget Director Shalan de Jung said that that type of authorization will 233 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:04.160 be consistent with what Congress has done in the past when there's been a catastrophic 234 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.759 bridge collapse. Back in two thousand and seven, you might remember there was 235 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.960 that downtown Minneapolis highway bridge that collapsed and very quickly, like within days, 236 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:18.680 Congress, with bipartisan support, passed hundreds of millions of dollars to start the 237 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.920 rebuilding process there. It's what the White House wants to see. Now. 238 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.319 Now, this could likely cost billions. There's no estimate yet on it. 239 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:29.000 It's going to be a lot of money. But the White House said that 240 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.119 the federal government will fully cover the cost at least to start, and that 241 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.079 once the investigation is complete, any party responsible will be held accountable, and 242 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.200 that they're going to pursue all avenues to recover costs. Okay, all right, 243 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.559 now let's shift gears real quick. President Biden yesterday had a call with 244 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:51.480 Benjamin NETANYAHUO what came of that? Yeah, the President on this call more 245 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:56.599 stark warnings and making it clear that the United States expects big changes from Israel 246 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.119 to address humanitarians suffering in Gaza or else there would be a change in US 247 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.359 policy. What that change in policy looks like. Nobody will say just yet, 248 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.279 not the National Security spokesman, not the Vice president yesterday, but the 249 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:15.880 President demanded that Israel dramatically increased humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza, open additional crossings, 250 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:21.240 and take big steps to reduce violence against civilians and aid workers. The 251 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:25.160 White House wants to see change in hours or days, like immediately. Well, 252 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.559 I think they're getting it though, because they did Yeah, yeah, 253 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:32.400 they saw overnight the Israel agreed to open a port and a major border crossing. 254 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:34.599 The White House is saying that was because of the President's request, and 255 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:40.039 now that they did that, it has to be fully and rapidly implemented, 256 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.599 Like basically, let's see how this goes before we say that this is fully 257 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:47.240 a success. Well, getting more humanitarian aid in is always going to be 258 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.160 a good thing. ABC's Karen Travers, thank you so much for the information. 259 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.440 Have a great weekend, you two thinks.

A San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy from twenty nine Palms has been 267 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:27.279 arrested for alleged gun and gang crimes. The department says the investigation into Deputy 268 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:33.240 Christopher Bingham and his association with an outlaw motorcycle gang began in January. Officials 269 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.880 say he was seen riding with two other gang members last month and the three 270 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.960 were pulled over.

Eighteen year old Mona Rodriguez was shot 273 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:53.039 and later died when the school's officer fired at a moving car after an alleged 274 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:57.839 fight outside of Millken High School. Attorney Michael Coreo says he's advising the family 275 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:02.160 to sit out for portions of the trial that would force them to relive her 276 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:04.039 murder. It's been very difficult, but they want to see this thing through. 277 00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.480 They want justice, They want the process to play out, but they're 278 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:12.240 hopeful for a conviction. Rodriguez family filed a wrongful death lawsuit after the shooting 279 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.519 in twenty twenty one, and received a thirteen million dollars settlement from the Long 280 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:21.200 Beach School District.

It's 293 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:14.640 just kind of interesting that that's the one thing that they would have gone after, 294 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:18.799 is this one buildboard that's promoting sed testing, which would go back to 295 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.079 the fact that people are probably having sex at your festival.

A 334 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:10.880 cold winter storm, springing rain and snow to southern California. The rain started 335 00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.279 falling. Roads were a little slick on my way in The San Gabriel Mountains 336 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:18.079 and fourteen Freeway Corridor are under a winter storm warning until eleven tonight. The 337 00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:23.160 Annealoe Valley Foothills and five through the Grapevine are under a winter weather advisory. 338 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:29.160 Up to three inches of snowfall possible. Experts are warning people about fake eclipse 339 00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:36.160 glasses ahead of Monday's celestial event. The American Astronomical Society says you should only 340 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:41.720 wear approved eclipse glasses specially made to block out almost all visible light. You 341 00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:48.319 can find a list of reputable eclipse glassmakers on the website aas dot org. 342 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.960 That's for the American Astronomical Society.

If you have enough followers 348 00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:17.839 on X at five point fifty. What's old is new when it comes to 349 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.920 streaming, an actor who's stepping behind the camera and the end of an era 350 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:25.400 on TV. It's all coming up with ABC's Jason Nathanson. Right now, 351 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:29.000 let's say good morning to the house whisper and the host of Home on KFI, 352 00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:33.799 Dean Sharp. Dean, we have a particular warnings that may be very 353 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.880 apropos for today because of the rain. Lots of rain. It is raining 354 00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:45.640 outside right now, I know, so uh. And rain means water running 355 00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.440 along the surface of our yards and out on our property, and that means 356 00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:55.559 drainage. Drainage is something I don't know what it is Amy Southern Californians. 357 00:25:55.640 --> 00:26:00.599 Maybe it's the fact that the last few years have been so dry and and 358 00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:04.039 we've just gotten lazy about it. I think maybe it's just that we figure 359 00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.480 out here, you know what, we can do whatever we want to our 360 00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.759 property. But the rains always, no matter how much we warn people, 361 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.440 they always catch people kind of flat footed when it comes to their yards. 362 00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:19.119 And then we get all these reports of flooding. There's water coming in my 363 00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:22.599 house. My slab is too wet, all sorts of stuff like this, 364 00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.920 all of it avoidable. So if you're having trouble with it right now, 365 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:30.559 obviously today not the day to get out there and fix it. But yeah, 366 00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:36.720 we really need to talk about drainage, and drainage is something that most 367 00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:41.200 people, again in southern California, don't understand. We are not trying to 368 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.200 get all the water that comes from the sky off of our property. We 369 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:49.400 actually want it to stay as much as possible on our property, but we 370 00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:53.359 do want to get it away from our house. And there's a huge difference 371 00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:56.440 between those two things. Okay, So what are some things to keep in 372 00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:02.400 mind as you make your plans and execute your plans to keep the water away 373 00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:07.519 from the house. Well, what you're looking for is about a four or 374 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:12.000 five foot perimeter around your home in which water that falls in that zone right 375 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:18.400 there from the edge of your house out wants to move away from your house, 376 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.640 not just sit there and definitely not slope toward your house. And there's 377 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:27.119 a number of techniques that you can use in order to get that done. 378 00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.880 Of course, you can just change the level of the soil if that's possible, 379 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.160 get it moving at about a quarter of an inch per foot, that's 380 00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.000 what we want. A drop of about a quarter of an inch per foot 381 00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:42.240 away from your house, don't so sometime really really really gentle, almost not 382 00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:47.599 noticeable slope exactly exactly. I tell you what a quarter of an inch per 383 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.759 foot is. It is not, it's super gentle. In fact, a 384 00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:55.960 quarter of an inch per foot is the slope inside your shower when you're standing 385 00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:02.400 in your showers. That's what your shower pan is sloped at. There's a 386 00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:06.720 slope in your shower. That's what makes the water head towards the drain. 387 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:11.640 And that's the goal. Okay, okay. And then as far as to 388 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.119 do that, are you talking about putting in like rocks and stuff or how 389 00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.240 do you do that or is it just with the ground that you make the 390 00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:22.440 slope. Well, yeah, you can do it with the ground. If 391 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:25.440 you can do it with the ground, that's fantastic. Now, some people 392 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.680 have inherited homes where there's already concrete in place that doesn't have a slope on 393 00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:36.240 it, or there's mounds, or the contour of the landscape is starting to 394 00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:41.160 convey water towards the house. Every house is different, but that's the goal. 395 00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:45.799 The goal is to move the water away, and so maybe it's just 396 00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:49.160 a matter of getting out there and reshaping the land. Maybe there are some 397 00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.440 trouble spots that you're not going to be able to reshape, and you're going 398 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:59.680 to think about actual drainage like drain pipes. And my favorite of all to 399 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.240 any kind of a house anywhere is what we call a French strain, a 400 00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.960 French strange, a French drain these days, it has changed over the years 401 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:14.119 because it's about one hundred and fifty plus years old now, but a French 402 00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:19.240 strain these days is a large white PVC landscape drain inch pipe that has holes 403 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:22.480 in it. You see little holes along the side. And basically what we 404 00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:27.079 do is we dig a small trench again I say small trench just the width 405 00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:32.039 of the pipe, and we drop a little gravel in the bottom, set 406 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.960 the pipe on the gravel so it's never directly in the mud, and then 407 00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.720 we pile a gravel on top of it and fill up the rest of the 408 00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:41.880 trench. Now you can fill it all the way up to the very tip 409 00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:47.759 top, or you can stop about six inches short, and you know, 410 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.279 plant grass or flowers or whatever across the top. But what's going on down 411 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.960 there is that water in the soil that is headed towards your house, hits 412 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.759 that kind of slot trench and it drops in through the gravel down into the 413 00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:06.599 drain and the drain woop carries it away and it no longer has to, 414 00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:11.720 you know, surcharge the sides of our foundations, which is not good for 415 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.920 our flooring inside, it's not good for our wall materials, and it's not 416 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.599 even good for our house protecting it against earthquakes. Because the weather the soil 417 00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:25.400 is under our house, the more subject our house is to moving on that 418 00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:30.400 foundation if there's an earthquake. Okay, And those are just a couple of 419 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.440 the tips that you need to know about your house and how to improve the 420 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.640 drainage around it. And also on Home with Dean Sharp this weekend, you're 421 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.480 going to talk about some things that you might not know about water that can 422 00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.559 help you probably make your planning, and then things to know about your house 423 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.559 as well. Absolutely, all right, it's coming up six to eight on 424 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.960 Saturday, nine to noon on Sunday, it's Home with Dean Sharp. Thank 425 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:55.839 you so much for your time today. Thank you, Amy. All Right, 426 00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:59.039 have a great weekend. Let's get back to some of the stories coming 427 00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:03.000 out of the KFI where our newsroom. The City of La could increase starting 428 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:06.799 pay for bus drivers, mechanics and other transit workers. The city's Department of 429 00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:11.000 Transportation says it's doing better at recruiting drivers and filling vacancies. The real challenge 430 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.839 now is keeping them through a contract with MV Transportation. Drivers and mechanics servicing 431 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.240 the DASH and other lines are the lowest paid in the regent. Drivers like 432 00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.279 Carlos Romero say a pay raise would help.

Jury selection is underway in the trial of a former school 437 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.599 safety officer in Long Beach charged with fatally shooting an eighteen year old mom. 438 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.960 Attorney Michael Correo says he's warned the family to sit out during parts of the 439 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.559 trial that would force them to relive the day Mona Rodriguez was shot. They're 440 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:57.160 struggling emotionally to revisit this issue. I mean, it's something that they think 441 00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:04.839 about every day. They pray. They prayed to her memory every day. 442 00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:08.200 Rodriguez was killed in twenty twenty one when the former Millican High School officers shot 443 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:12.240 at a moving car she was in following a fight with two other people. 444 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:17.039 Testimony is expected to start next week. Day trippers visiting Venice, Italy who 445 00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:22.799 don't pay the city's entry fee are going to face fines ten times higher. 446 00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.920 A test program starts this month after the city was placed on the UN's list 447 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:31.400 of Endangered Heritage Sites.

Visitors will be met by stewards who will remind 449 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:42.200 them to pay using a QR code. Three homes in Newport Beach have been 450 00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:45.640 yellow tagged because of a partial cliff collapse. The homes weren't damaged in the 451 00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:50.359 landslide yesterday, but official save residents need to get out just in case. 452 00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:53.240 A landslide that happened in the same neighborhood last year led to the demolition of 453 00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:59.160 a home. A federal judge has denied former President Trump's request to dismiss his 454 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:04.920 classified documents case.

The judge says the statute doesn't apply in the charges against him. 456 00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:10.960 Ninety nine Cent stores are going out of business. The company says it's going 457 00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:15.240 to close all three hundred and seventy one of its stores in California, Arizona, 458 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:20.960 Nevada, and Texas. They're going to start liquidating as early as today. 459 00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:24.039 And Bill's going to be talking more about this in Handle on the news. 460 00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:27.640 It's just a few minutes away. Right now, let's say good morning 461 00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:32.400 to ABC's entertainment guru. It's Jason Nathanson. Hey, Jason, I'm sad 462 00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:36.559 about the ninety nine cent stores. I am too. I don't shop there 463 00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:38.960 often, but I do shop there, Yeah, growing up. I did 464 00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:43.599 growing up in La I mean, those have been a staple all my life. 465 00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:49.880 So so onto entertainment stuff. So I love dev Patel from Some Dog 466 00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:53.279 Millionaire, and I loved him in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, one of 467 00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:57.160 my favorites. Yes, well, now he's going behind the camera and he's 468 00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:59.920 going to direct. He is. He's behind and in front of the camera 469 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:06.839 for monkey Man. This is is his directorial debut and the man Monkey Man. 470 00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:10.559 Yes, it's based on a Hindu god and old kind of story of 471 00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:16.119 a of a Hindu god that he he plays a character named Kid who's kind 472 00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:20.880 of a young man who he's he does these fight clubs every night to make 473 00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:22.800 money and he gets just beat up. He wears a gorilla mask and that's 474 00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:25.960 where the name monkey Man comes from. Uh. He gets beat up every 475 00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.440 night and he has rage. There are things happened in his past, very 476 00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:35.519 traumatic. And this is a movie, you know, kind of like Slumdug 477 00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:38.280 Millionaire was. This is set in India, by the way, about the 478 00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:45.679 cast system and about class and things like that and overcoming those things and also 479 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:49.559 revenge, take getting revenge against the people who wronged you. This is a 480 00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:52.760 man who's full of rage and he's kind of blinded by that and and consumed 481 00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:59.159 with getting revenge for people who destroyed his family. It's very kind of East 482 00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.760 meets West filmmaking. It's a it's a mix of all that you have. 483 00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:07.079 It's flashy with a rocking soundtrack and a lot of violence, but also times 484 00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:10.239 spiritual and meditative. And for me, well, it didn't always stick the 485 00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.119 landing. I think it was an impressive debut from a first time filmmaker who 486 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:19.280 clearly has a lot to say and a and a big point of view. 487 00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:25.079 Okay, and also behind the camera or in the business office is very powerful 488 00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:30.559 and creepy producer Jordan Peel, Yes, Jordan Peel, he came on board. 489 00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:35.239 I believe after this was done, this was going to be Originally it 490 00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:39.519 was intended for Netflix. Jordan Peele came along and saved it from streaming and 491 00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:43.599 put it on the big screen, which is I think where it deserves to 492 00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:45.360 be. Not that it couldn't, you know, I think you could have 493 00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:50.800 enjoyed it on streaming, but seeing it on the big screen again, because 494 00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:55.199 this is a big, loud, bright movie that it really it plays very 495 00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:58.960 well on the big screen. Okay. Good to know, because a lot 496 00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:00.960 of times there movies out and I go, you know, that was good, 497 00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:06.519 but I it'd be fine right my TV on the TV. There's one 498 00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:08.000 of those. And I actually forgot to put the on my list, which 499 00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:15.960 is out this week called Wicked Little Letters, which stars Olivia Coleman and Jesse 500 00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:21.320 Buckley. Really kind of funny. It's a small movie about you know, 501 00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:24.840 Poison Pen Letters from the nineteen twenties in England really about like kind of the 502 00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:29.320 first trolling and you know how you can see how it went from that to 503 00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:34.119 online trolling. Basically, it's very funny. But does it need to be 504 00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:37.679 seen on the big screen? Not necessarily, could probably wait for streaming. 505 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.320 But I really liked it and I enjoyed it, and that is out. 506 00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:45.039 It was out in limited release last week and it's out across the country this 507 00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:46.199 week. Okay, and you said it was Poison Pen Letters. So is 508 00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:50.079 it set in the nineteen twenties. It is set in the nineteen twenties. 509 00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:52.840 It's based on a true story of a real scandal of somebody in a town 510 00:36:52.880 --> 00:37:00.440 in England who was writing letters to like these really horrible letters to to the 511 00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:05.360 townspeople, and it became this really big scandal and then the police had to 512 00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:08.679 investigate and it became this whole big thing. Sounds scandalous, like it's maybe 513 00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:12.519 like Bridgerton a little bit. It's very scandalous. And you get to see 514 00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:15.519 Olivia Coleman swear in a way that you would not expect her to swear. 515 00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:20.280 Okay, good to know. And then the other movie coming out, the 516 00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:24.039 First Omen, Yes, a prequel, a first Omen, the prequel to 517 00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:29.119 the Omen. This is I think the sixth in the Omen movies over the 518 00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:32.559 years. Religious horror not really my thing. I didn't get a chance to 519 00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:36.960 see it, but it's getting very good reviews eighty three percent from critics on 520 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:40.000 Rotten Tomatoes, which for a horror movie is like a million percent. Okay, 521 00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:44.440 And it's amazing how long these movie franchises go on. The first movie 522 00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:47.159 came out in nineteen seventy six. Yeah, I mean, and that's with 523 00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:51.559 horror. It's just it's so cheap to make. And you know this movie. 524 00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:53.719 There are a couple of name actors in some smaller roles, but for 525 00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:57.280 the most part, you don't know any of the people in it. Okay, 526 00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.840 These movies are very cheap to make and good turn on the money for 527 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:07.039 studios. Okay, let's shift over to the stream. Another remake or whatever. 528 00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:10.760 Ripley, Yeah, that's on Netflix. This is it's based on the 529 00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:15.000 book which the movie from nineteen ninety nine was based on the book, The 530 00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:19.159 Talent Mister Ripley. You might remember that starred Matt Damon as Tom Ripley. 531 00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.639 You had Jude log Gwyneth Paltrow in that as well, and of course the 532 00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.480 wonderful Philip Seymour Hoffman, who is great in that. Everybody's great in that. 533 00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:28.559 I love that movie. I thought it was a great, great movie. 534 00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:31.880 And this is kind of tells the same story but in a different way. 535 00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:38.840 And you have let's see here. Andrew Scott stars as Tom Ripley, 536 00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:45.199 kind of a sad sack, kind of con man type guy who goes to 537 00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:52.119 Europe to find He's commissioned by the father of Dicky Greenleaf to go to Europe 538 00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.400 and find his son, who is kind of living an extravagant life and just 539 00:38:55.519 --> 00:39:00.400 enjoying himself. And Tom Ripley kind of starts to take over the lives of 540 00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:05.079 these people and try to get into these kind of rich people's lives where he 541 00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:08.920 does not clearly belong. This has done really really well and really interesting, 542 00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:13.800 especially if you were a fan of the original movie this and you think, 543 00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:16.000 Okay, they're going to redo this, and yes, it does tell the 544 00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:19.800 same story but in a very different way. It's black and white, which 545 00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:22.719 I wasn't sure if I was going to like or not, but it's directed 546 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:27.880 really, really well. It has some beautiful shots and some really kind of 547 00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:31.679 funny dry stuff as well. I'm into what I've seen so far of Ripley 548 00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:35.280 on Netflix. You know what this sounds like to me, Jason. It 549 00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:39.440 sounds like a more recent film with a very dark movie that I found out 550 00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:43.840 by watching it with Saltburn. Did you see that? I did see Saltburn? 551 00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.239 Nothing. I mean yeah, in terms of, yes, you have 552 00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:52.199 somebody who's trying to infiltrate to the uppercross life that he where he does not 553 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:59.920 belong. It kind of goes a similar themes but very very different stories. 554 00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.280 Okay, and then we would be remiss if we did not talk about the 555 00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:07.880 end of an era. Yes, Curby Your Enthusiasm is ending on Sunday. 556 00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.440 This is the final episode. If you've been watching this season, which I've 557 00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:14.840 been mixed on this season. I've been mixed on the show. It's been 558 00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:17.320 up and down over the twelve seasons that it's been on. Last season was 559 00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:22.760 fantastic, but seasons before that, you know, sometimes you're like, Okay, 560 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.239 this is the same stick over and over again. We get it. 561 00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:31.239 Larry David is curmudgeon and he hates everything, and sometimes it's very funny. 562 00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:37.400 Sometimes it's very uncomfortable. But this show has been on since nineteen ninety nine. 563 00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:39.800 They first did a special, right, that's what Curby Enthusiasm was. 564 00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:44.719 It was Larry David Special, and then that was in nineteen ninety nine, 565 00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:46.199 and then the next year they turned it into a series. Was that when 566 00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:50.400 was Seinfeld still on at that time? Seinfeld was off for a year at 567 00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:52.039 that point. Okay, so I think a lot in a lot of people's 568 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:55.920 minds, there's a big separation between the two like it came much later, 569 00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:00.960 but it was really only a year after Seinfeld. Now, Larry David had 570 00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:04.320 had left Seinfeld at that point. He did come back for the finale, 571 00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.199 but he had left Seinfeld at that point, so his his connection was a 572 00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:14.000 little severed. But it's you know, it's amazing a that he was able 573 00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:17.960 to do Seinfeld and then this right to have two hits like that is pretty 574 00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:22.760 remarkable. In its twelve seasons, it's been nominated for Best Comedy at the 575 00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:27.679 Emmys ten times and this season hasn't even been eligible yet, so it could 576 00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:30.920 be eleven for twelve. That's remarkable as well. And the fact that it's 577 00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:35.639 been on for twenty five years. I mean, you know, the show 578 00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:38.960 pre dates nine to eleven, which is pretty nutty. And a lot of 579 00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:44.159 things right have happened since in the past twenty five years, and I think 580 00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:47.000 it maybe not seem that long for some people because it is twelve seasons over. 581 00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:51.239 You know, it hasn't been a season every single year. They've taken 582 00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:55.960 big breaks between seasons. But it's pretty remarkable what Larry David has been able 583 00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:00.039 to do and how he's been able to get into the kind of public zeitgeist 584 00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:04.840 and seep into the American consciousness over the years. Yeah, the end of 585 00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:07.239 an era. So lots of great choices for this weekend, both in theaters 586 00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:10.320 and at home. Thank you so much.
