WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.879 You're listening to KFI AM six forty Wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.560 demand on the iHeartRadio app. Got a lot going on, of course, 3 00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.720 coming off the State of the Union. Whether it's a good one or a 4 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.120 bad one kind of depends on which side of the aisle you're sitting on. 5 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:23.079 We're gonna be talking with ABC Stephen Portnoy in less than five minutes he was 6 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.800 there, and so I think he's gonna have like a really interesting and different 7 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.679 perspective than those of us who watched us watched it on TV, and of 8 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.799 course you can bet that Bill Handle's going to have lots to say about it 9 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.200 coming up at six oh five on Handle on the News and on a more 10 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.960 important local news story. We are still watching Jackie in Shadow. You know 11 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:49.640 that I love the bald eagles that are waiting patiently for their eggs to hatch. 12 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:57.000 And it looks like the window of opportunity for the first egg is probably 13 00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.960 over, but there are still two other eggs and they're right in like prime 14 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.280 time for them to start pipping as they call it. That's when they start 15 00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:07.079 to hatch and break out. So we're going to continue to watch that, 16 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.480 and I know, if you're watching it and I'm watching it, and producer 17 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.400 ends watching it, let's see Oscars watching it. Tony might have even turned 18 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.120 it on. We've got a lot of people around the office watching it, 19 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.879 and there's a lot of people around the country watching it. So I'm hoping 20 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.280 that something good happens either way. Jackie and Shadow are fantastic, just so 21 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.959 cool to watch. Here is what is ahead on wake up Call. President 22 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.280 Biden, as you know, delivered a feisty argument for a second term in 23 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.640 his State of the Union speech last night, referencing former President Trump more than 24 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:46.120 a dozen times but not saying his name. Biden says his predecessor espouses resentment, 25 00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.719 revenge, and retribution, and jeopardizes freedom at home and abroad. The 26 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:55.560 father of a fallen marine from Norco has been arrested for his outburst about the 27 00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:00.799 US's departure from Afghanistan during the State of the Union. Stephen Nikoy shouted, 28 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.560 remember Abby Gate and United States Marines Kareem M Nikoe. I'm not sure if 29 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.479 I'm pronouncing that right before US Capitol police escorted him out of the chamber. 30 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.479 A United Airlines flight on its way from San Francisco to Japan, made an 31 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:21.879 emergency landing at lax after a wheel fell off during takeoff. The tire crashed 32 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.639 into some cars in at in an employee parking lot. At least one car 33 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.000 was destroyed. No one was hurt. Passengers, about two hundred and thirty 34 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.680 five of them, were put on another plane to Japan. Let's get started 35 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.319 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 36 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.439 Of course, President Biden has used his State of the Union address to urge 37 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.400 voters to reelect him for a second term. He says the alternative would be 38 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.400 dangerous. The threat to democracy must be defended. My predecessor on some of 39 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:52.680 you here seek to bury the truth about January sixth. I will not do 40 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.639 that. Biden says. The simple truth is that you can't love your country 41 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.719 only when you win. Without naming Trump, he slammed his assessor for not 42 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:06.759 standing by American allies abroad and for embracing anti democratic ideas. In the US, 43 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.199 several US government websites are back up and running after an outage during the 44 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.560 State of the Union. The Department of Homeland Security, ICE, FEMA, 45 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.719 and the Secret Service websites all experienced technical issues last night. The cause isn't 46 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.120 known, but the sites started working again within a few minutes. A woman 47 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:28.360 at a bus stop has been stabbed in South La. Police say she got 48 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.199 into an argument with another woman yesterday while waiting for a bus near Slawson and 49 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:36.479 Figueroa. Police say the woman accused of doing the stabbing had a child with 50 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.240 her. She was arrested and arrest has been made in connection with a deadly 51 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.639 shooting in a parking garage at the Redondo Beach Pier. A public works employee 52 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:50.719 spotted the unconscious person in a stairwell back on February sixteenth. The person had 53 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.520 been shot in the head. Police say the person may have been homeless. 54 00:03:53.560 --> 00:04:00.599 Investigators acting on a tip arrested a man from Inglewood on Wednesday. Mistigation has 55 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.879 found emergency responders didn't know exactly what they were responding to when a truck that 56 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.840 ran on compressed natural gas exploded in Wilmington. The driver of the truck had 57 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.960 seen sparks in her cab, so she pulled over and called nine one one 58 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.199 moments after La City firefighters arrived on the scene February fifteenth. Nine of them 59 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:19.279 were injured when one of the truck's fuel tanks exploded. In an initial report 60 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:25.680 released during its ongoing investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board says emergency responders were 61 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.519 unaware of the truck was powered by natural gas. The agency says it doesn't 62 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.399 yet know what caused the explosion, but says it hopes to be able to 63 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:36.399 release recommendations to avoid similar events when the investigation is finished. Michael Monks KFI 64 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:41.560 News and a large mountain lion has been spotted prowling around a neighborhood in Sierra 65 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.720 Madre. The big cap was seen early Wednesday near East grand View and Foothill. 66 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.040 It moved through some bushes by one home before it hopped over a retaining 67 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:53.639 wall and went into a neighbor's driveway. Then it just walked away. Not 68 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.800 clear if the same mountain lion seen in the area a couple of weeks ago 69 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.079 was the same one. Gits five seven on Wake Up Call, Let's say 70 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:05.360 good morning now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen was there at the State of 71 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:10.079 the Union last night. So Stephen, tell us your takeaway from the speech. 72 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:15.439 Well, look, the takeaway from the speech overall, it was an 73 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.800 opportunity for President Biden to speak to not just the Assembly of Congress and the 74 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:24.879 House and Senate Republicans and Democrats, and the six members active members of the 75 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.839 Supreme Court. It was an opportunity for him to talk to the country, 76 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.079 and he delivered a political speech. Yeah, perhaps one of the more political 77 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.439 speeches we've seen in the House Chamber from a president. Yeah. We were 78 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.319 like thinking, this doesn't sound like a State of the Union. This sounds 79 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:42.040 like a like a campaign rally or a political speech. Definitely. Look, 80 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.639 they were clearly lines written to appeal to his base. You saw it in 81 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.160 the lopsided applause in the chamber. You saw it in the facial expression of 82 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.720 House Speaker Mike Johnson. Republicans largely sat on their hands when the President spoke 83 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:59.879 of things such as Ukraine and January sixth and immigration. There was by part 84 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.360 an applause, the standing ovation for across the chamber for the families of hostages 85 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.759 held by Hamas. There were some moments of heckling in the chamber, which 86 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.040 seemed to be now a feature of these events. The one was a gold 87 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.759 Star father who shouted at the President for not mentioning the deaths of service members 88 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.040 during the pullout from Afghanistan. This is a man who I believe lost his 89 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:21.759 son. He did, and he's from Norco. There you go. There 90 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.480 was also the moment with Marjorie Tayler Green that stood out. She and her 91 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:30.519 maga hat. As the President was walking into the chamber, Marjorie Teyler Green 92 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.279 handed him a button that had the name LACN. Riley and that's the nursing 93 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.040 student who was killed last month at the University of Georgia. The suspect and 94 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.720 the country illegally. And as the President was talking about the Congress's failure to 95 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.079 pass the bipartisan foreign aid and border bill that was a product of a Senate 96 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:51.639 compromise, Marjorie Teler Green started heckling the President and goaded him into saying her 97 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:57.040 name Lake and Riley, which the President slightly mispronounced as Lincoln Riley hoops, 98 00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.040 and then he repeated what she said to him. May not have been clear 99 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.120 to viewers, but it was clear to me because I saw it right through 100 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:09.480 my binocular Staring directly at Marjorie Tayler Green. She said, by any illegal 101 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.879 and he repeated the phrase and yes, an illegal, and then he said 102 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.600 something like yes but what about the thousands who are killed by legals. It 103 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:20.199 was all a very disappointing moment for progressives and you see that in the reaction 104 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.040 to it, and the White House is going to have to explain or otherwise 105 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.800 answer for it. Oh okay, that helps, because I was like going, 106 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.560 what is he saying? Why is he saying that? Well, the 107 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:36.319 right And perhaps you didn't see, and I certainly did that he was looking 108 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:42.560 directly at Marjorie Taylor Green and he was echoing what she was saying. So 109 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.759 hopefully that helps everyone understand how he came up with that phrase and what it 110 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:47.439 was, where he got it from. Held up the button by the way 111 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.439 that she gave him. So it was a one to one moment right there, 112 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:55.000 he and her. She and she were having a little bit of a 113 00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:01.480 back and forth. The bottom line is Democrats are overall bolant and very pleased 114 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.399 with the president's performance. Apparently it was a record night of fundraising for the 115 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:09.519 Biden campaign with donors giving money. But I think the progressive disappointment about that 116 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:15.000 moment on immigration is something that they're going to have to speak to or answer 117 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.800 for. Yeah, and I know you got to go so real quick he 118 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.800 kind of you went after the Supreme Court? That was weird? Was it 119 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:26.199 weird where you were? Look? This is not the first time that democratic 120 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.839 presence in particular have tried to in some way scold the justices. Chief Justice 121 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.279 John Roberts appears at these events. He doesn't have to, he chose to, 122 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.360 and he brought with him five of his colleagues and one former colleague, 123 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.039 a senior Justice Anthony Kennedy, who retired. So the justices sat stone faced, 124 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.600 stone cold, did not react, did not show any emotion as the 125 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.159 President talked about things such as reproductive rights. And it is an increasingly awkward 126 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:00.360 thing for the president to be in some way scolding the Supreme Court. But 127 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.879 I believe Barack Obama started after the Citizens United opinion in twenty ten. I 128 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.240 want to check that, but that's my memory. And it's always an awkward 129 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.200 thing for the justices to have to sit there and have everyone, you know, 130 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.159 booing or cheering, what have you. But they do it, and 131 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.440 they don't like it. Yeah, I just know that I used to feel 132 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.279 inspired, no matter which side of the aisle it was coming from. I 133 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.919 used to feel inspired by State of the Union addresses and certainly did not on 134 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.159 this one. All right, Stephen Portner, thank you so much for your 135 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.240 information. It helps a lot and really cool that you got to be in 136 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.000 the room up holding a tradition that began in the late nineteen thirties with radio 137 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.519 correspondents perched up in the gallery above the speaker's roster. All right, thank 138 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.440 you, Steven. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 139 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.240 the KFI twenty four hour news from a sudden thunderstorm that moved through southern California 140 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.639 lit up the sky with lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and hail. 141 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.000 That was a weird one, wasn't it. The storm yesterday caused authorities to 142 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.360 close beaches from will Rogers State Beach south to Hermosa Beach. The Weather Services 143 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:01.360 temperatures should gradly gradually warm back to norm levels today. I know, we 144 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.039 were driving around. I was listening to Tim Conway Junior and he was like, 145 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.639 there's a storm coming it. But yeah, he sure kept you up 146 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.759 to date on it, so that was very much appreciated. Two men who 147 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.279 were wrongfully convicted of a shooting in two thousand and four are suing the La 148 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.480 County Sheriff's Department. Both men were seventeen when they were accused of firing shots 149 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:24.559 into an occupied home in Lancaster. Attorney Eric Dubin says the lawsuit alleges investigators 150 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:30.240 fabricated reports and hit evidence to frame his clients. It's heartbreaking. These are 151 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:35.360 two wonderful men that were literally shot shank redemption innocence. An appellate court overturned 152 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.360 their convictions in twenty twenty. Both men have been paid about nine hundred thousand 153 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.320 dollars from the state, and the lawsuit filed last Friday as an attempt to 154 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.960 go after the county. Chris Adler kea FI News Renters facing eviction in La 155 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.080 now have more time to get square with their landlords following a unanimous boat by 156 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:58.639 the city Council. The decision means tenants waiting for city funding to help them 157 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.679 with back rent be kicked out just yet. The Apartment Association of Greater Las 158 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:09.559 David Goishan says the barrage of retroactive changes is confusing to property owners. Item 159 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:16.679 fifty three expands on the already restrictive prior ordinance prohibiting evictions by owners who participate 160 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.799 in the emergency rental assistance program and were subsequently forced to give up their right 161 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.720 to evict for non payment of rent. The city is slowly working to distribute 162 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:30.440 more than thirty million dollars in its latest rent relief effort. Time for Nick's 163 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:35.879 top picks for the weekend. Because it's Friday morning, Nick Poliochini. Nick 164 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.039 covers kind of like everything going on in southern California with this weekend with Nick 165 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:45.039 his podcast and also on his social media Instagram stuff. But he's just going 166 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.399 to give us a little sneak peek. So what are a couple of the 167 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.799 top picks for this weekend. Well, the number one topic that's going to 168 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:52.279 be in our own backyard is something you and I are going to be experiencing 169 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.720 the HR. It's going to be the Boisonberry Festival that opens today and Not's 170 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.919 Berry Farm in Buena Park. Now, Boys of Berry is something that pretty 171 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:05.120 much the Knots family Walter not made well, I wouldn't say their fortune, 172 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.840 but their famous existence off of root sixty six off of So the berry Festival 173 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.360 is a celebration of all things boison berry, which is pretty much where the 174 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:18.279 Knots family really got their notoriety, and so it's food. It's an incredible 175 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.799 show that's called Preserved that actually celebrates the one hundred years of the Walter Nott 176 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:28.799 family and notts Berry Farm that actually premiered back in twenty twenty two and that 177 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.919 still goes today and it's a really cool show. Also there's fireworks at night 178 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.559 and so many things going on all over the farm and food, lots of 179 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.759 food, and we will have so much of that on our socials. Everything 180 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.600 has a little bit of a little bit of a boisonberry slant to it, 181 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.559 so either as sweet or savory or color wise. After that though, another 182 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.159 really sweet smelling thing is sakuras out of Japan or cherry blossoms, and it's 183 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:56.440 the cherry blossom Festival down in a San Diego this weekend starting from well actually 184 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.360 it started yesterday and it runs through Sunday, and that will be going on 185 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:05.679 in partnership with the Japanese Friendship Garden and Museum in San Diego. And so 186 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.679 sakuas are in season right now in Japan. It's a very very popular time 187 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.919 for a lot of folks to visit Japan, but right now they'll be celebrating 188 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.840 pretty much our own version of that and so there'll be a lot of different 189 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.320 programs that started out yesterday through Sunday and it's a really worthwhile time. I 190 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.519 know the weather's been a little bit sketching the thunderstorm last night, correct, 191 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.320 so it should be fantastic for you. And then your favorite thing, Amy 192 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.840 it's the Oscars on Sunday, the ninety six annual Oscars, and if you're 193 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.399 looking for a really fun way to celebrate, you can head over to the 194 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.679 Academy Museum in the mid Wiltshire area. It's Oscars Night at the Museum from 195 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:45.639 three until eight pm. You can enjoy a one of a kind evening experience, 196 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.120 including the meal there at the event is being catered by Wolfgang Puck, 197 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.519 the same that they'll be joining at the Governor's Ball for the Oscar, So 198 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.879 if you really want to get that behind the scenes experience, no swag bag 199 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.840 unfortunately, but you will be able to enjoy all the things at the beautiful 200 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.600 Academy Museum, which opened a few years back. If you haven't been, 201 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.440 it's well worth a trip anyway, and a lot of times they participate in 202 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.759 free museum Sunday, so that's another opportunity. Not this Sunday but other Sunday 203 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.639 it's a great time to head over there. And for that, I'm guessing 204 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.720 you need reservations. You do need reservations and to get details and links to 205 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.919 get admission to that or anything else, you can visit this weekend with Nick 206 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.759 dot com or as Amy said Nick Pouliochini, or this week go with Nick 207 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.840 on Instagram. Check out the Lincoln bio perfect Thank you Nick, you got 208 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.240 when we come back, summer's not far away. That means vacations, but 209 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.720 this year, along with deciding what resort to stay at and the best beaches, 210 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.480 you need to decide if the trip is worth your life. ABC Shannon 211 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.639 Crawford has some tips on what to do to stay safe. You're listening to 212 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.200 Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI AM six forty. President Biden used the 213 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:54.159 opportunity of the state of the Union to draw a sharp contrast that could rally 214 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.919 Democrats to the polls as he tries to make the campaign a referendum on his 215 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:03.240 predecessor rather than on him. The President's pull numbers are low, and a 216 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.080 lot of people have been questioning whether he can still be effective because of his 217 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.440 age. Authorities in Orange County believe they have a serial ATM thief on their 218 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.440 hands. The person's been using a toast strap tied to a white pickup truck 219 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.759 to rip ATMs out of businesses and drag them away. And that's what happened 220 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.559 at a barbershop in Orange early Monday morning. It also happened at a nail 221 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:28.360 salon in Anaheim Hills in February and at a laundromat in Orange in December. 222 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.759 Max is the latest streaming company to crack down on password sharing. Warner Brothers 223 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:39.039 Discovery says yesterday it's going to restrict users sharing their accounts outside of their household 224 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.519 starting later this year. If users on Max do share their account with people 225 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.279 outside the home, they risk having the account suspended or maybe even terminated. 226 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.799 At six oh five, it's handle on the news. The US is going 227 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.919 to put in a temporary port on the coast of Gaza to get more aid 228 00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:00.000 into Palestinians. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's State Department Corps 229 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:06.000 respondent Shannon Crawford. Shannon, travel season right around the corner, and unfortunately, 230 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.320 because the world has become such a dangerous place, we need to factor 231 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:14.919 safety into our travel plans. That's right. Well, we're headed into what 232 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.440 travel experts project maybe the busiest international spring break travel season ever, and as 233 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.840 you mentioned, there are several top destinations, but the State's Department has issued 234 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:30.960 new travel advisories for like Mexico, the Bahamas, Jamaica, and with twenty 235 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.120 percent more Americans booking international flights this year compared to last according to TRIPAA, 236 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:40.519 and thirty eight percent more booking hotels abroad, they're really looking to get information 237 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.639 out so these travelers can avoid trouble in paradise. Okay, in Shannon, 238 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.399 you mentioned Mexico, which I know is a very popular place because it's relatively 239 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.639 inexpensive and it's easy to get there. Is it all of Mexico or just 240 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.799 certain areas in Mexico. Absolutely not, And that's why it's so important to 241 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:03.200 do your research on your specific destination, because the State Department actually breaks down 242 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:08.319 Mexico into each state, giving a travel advisory for every particular area. Now, 243 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:15.240 many of those popular destinations are still very safe compared to the rest of 244 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:21.160 the country, but the State's Department also advises that violent crime can impact tourist 245 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.680 areas. So even if you think that you know, hey, you're going 246 00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.559 to a popular resort or you've had great experiences there in the past, that's 247 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.920 good. The State's Department doesn't want you to cancel your travel necessarily, but 248 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:34.200 just be aware of all the risks so you can make informed decisions while you're 249 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:38.119 on your vacation. Okay, does I know the State Department puts out recommendations. 250 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:42.279 Does it issue and like do not travel orders that you just can't go 251 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:48.799 there or is it all recommendation? So what can't go there is not necessarily 252 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.000 something the US government will tell you, right, So it's not necessarily going 253 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.160 to be a travel ban. But what the State Department does is break down 254 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.759 virtually every country in the world, and like I said, even some regions 255 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.559 with the countries from a level one, which means you can go and just 256 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:08.000 exercise normal caution, to a level four, which means Americans should not travel 257 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:14.640 there. We were talking countries like Afghanistan, Russia, North Korea, parts 258 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.279 of Mexico are considered to be a level four, but the vast majority are 259 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:21.799 going to be in that two to three range. Okay, So say you 260 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:23.519 decide that you're going to take the risk, you're going to go to a 261 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:30.160 two to three range country. How do you keep yourself safe and keep yourself 262 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.599 updated while you're there, because you're probably in a country where you might not 263 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.640 speak the language, you're not familiar with the territory, but you can kind 264 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:44.359 of keep track of what's going on right absolutely well. The State Department encourages 265 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:49.720 travelers to sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program or STEP as they call 266 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:55.559 it, and that's a free service for Americans during abroad that provides frequent updates 267 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:59.519 about conditions in the foreign country you happen to be visiting. And the top 268 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:04.519 official also told me that a travelers should jot down just the closest consulate or 269 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:10.480 embassy to where they're going to be because there the State Department has the staff 270 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:14.319 twenty four to seven. They're always on hand to offer help to Americans and 271 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:18.200 it's to resource that in case of emergency it might not be top of mind. 272 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.839 Okay, those are such good good things to remember, because like I 273 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.400 said, it's become a dangerous place and you don't want to end up in 274 00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:29.119 somewhere that you don't feel safe, because that's not the whole goal of a 275 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.720 vacation. So State Department there's a website that people can go to and just 276 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:38.559 kind of do the investigation themselves. Yep, travel dot state dot govs that's 277 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.759 where you want to get started, and other things that State Department is pointed 278 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:47.039 out to make sure you can get to where you're going. Check your passport 279 00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:51.680 expiration date because a lot of countries require three months to six months validity. 280 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.279 So even if you're not quite at that deadline, you could still run into 281 00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:57.799 trouble. So it's going to make it relaxing as possible. Okay, Shannon 282 00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:02.960 Crawford, thank you so much for that information this morning. Thank you. 283 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:04.680 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 284 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:10.000 hour news room. President Biden is pledged to bring some American hostages home. 285 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.599 They're the ones still being held by Hamas. He said during his State of 286 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:17.400 the Union speech last night. Israel has a right to go after Hamas, 287 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:21.720 but added innocent Palestinians are still being caught in the crossfire. He says Hamas 288 00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:26.400 could end the war if they released the hostages and surrendered. The European Commission 289 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.559 president says a charity ship is leaving for Gaza as part of an operation to 290 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:36.119 test a new humanitarian sea corridor that will deliver aid directly from Cyprus. The 291 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.759 corridor could open as early as Sunday, that's the start of the Muslim holy 292 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:44.480 month of Ramadan. Ten illegal immigrants have been injured climbing over the border wall 293 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:48.240 near San Diego. Border officials say the rain may have made the wall slippery. 294 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:51.640 Last Saturday afternoon, San Diego Fire and Rescue was sent to Imperial Beach, 295 00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.279 where officials say they found migrants with various injuries, including broken bones. 296 00:20:55.359 --> 00:21:00.200 These patients were treated as they could here and then transfer and Battalion Chief Oscar 297 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.039 Rodriguez told CBS they had to use six ambulances to transport the injured. A 298 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:07.680 report from UC San Diego said there has been an unprecedented increase in the number 299 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.519 of falls at the border, and officials say at least two migrants have died 300 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.799 this year crossing into California. Steve Gregory ka Fine News. Five students have 301 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.319 been expelled from a middle school in Beverly Hills for using AI to generate nude 302 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:25.720 photos of classmates.

He 317 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:27.720 referenced former President Trump more than a dozen times, but didn't say his name. 318 00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:33.480 Biden called him his predecessor and said that he espouses resentment, revenge and 319 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:38.599 retribution and jeopardize his freedom at home and abroad. A United flight on its 320 00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:42.640 way from San Francisco to Japan has made an emergency landing at LAX after a 321 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:48.559 wheel fell off during takeoff yesterday. The tire crashed into some cars in an 322 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.680 employee parking lot, destroying at least one of them.

Good morning, Dean, Good morning, Amy. 335 00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:48.319 Oh you sound good today. I sound a little strange, a little 336 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:53.880 strange because I'm not actually in our regular studio. I'm sitting in a hotel 337 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:59.359 lobby in Palm Springs where we're doing some design work today. Nice and speaking 338 00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:03.720 of design and speaking of sound, we're talking about designing for or sound designing 339 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.599 it this weekend. That's right, that's right, And it's something that a 340 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:12.319 lot of people overlook, to be honest, when they're working on their renovations 341 00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:17.880 or remodels or new builds, and you really shouldn't. Sound is one of 342 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:22.920 those fundamental areas of design. And one of the reasons it's so important to 343 00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.200 get sound right in your home is that, you know, unlike your eyes, 344 00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:30.279 you can't close your ears. You just can't shut them off. You 345 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:34.599 can't decide to look elsewhere. So the sound that you have is the sound 346 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.799 that is constant coming at you. And I always say this, you know, 347 00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:45.640 every good theater takes relentless control of sound, right, you think about 348 00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.599 that first. The first thing it does is it insulates you from everything that's 349 00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:53.680 going on in the outside world, so that there's no intrusion there. And 350 00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:59.319 then it delivers only what it wants you to hear, so that you won't 351 00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.680 be taken out of the monument and distracted from the story that you're being told. 352 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:10.519 And since we're all about story in our homes, good home design is 353 00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:15.400 theater and that means controlling sound. Okay, so what are some what are 354 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.400 some of the things that you can do? And does it have to cost 355 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.680 a gazillion dollars? It doesn't. It doesn't have to cost a gazillion dollars, 356 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:27.480 especially if you are already working on your home in terms of a remodel 357 00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:33.799 or renovation and something like that. One of the easiest things is that and 358 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:41.440 this is this is this is something that applies to maybe now about ninety percent 359 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:48.000 of tracked home owners across all of southern California, and that is consider taking 360 00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:52.759 out those old hollow core doors that you have in your house and replacing them 361 00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:57.880 with solid core doors. It is just such a classic builder move and it 362 00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:03.880 has been over the last decades to put in cheap hollow doors interior doors, 363 00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:10.079 and those doors you know visually that I mean, they block light. And 364 00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:12.839 that's about it. Tina and I joke all the time that you know, 365 00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.519 as far as sound control, you might as well just you know, tack 366 00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:21.599 a sheet up in the doorway, you know, because you'll get a little 367 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:25.079 visual privacy, but sound wise, they don't do anything. And you know 368 00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:30.519 the cost of a simple solid core door is not that much more than a 369 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:36.160 hollow core door, and the difference it makes by way of sound transmission is 370 00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.839 huge. Yeah, I didn't even think about that, but yeah, that 371 00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:45.640 that solid block of wood would sure stops sound better than something that's hollow exactly. 372 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.039 So it's one of those insulating factors now that you can do if you're 373 00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:52.160 not doing anything else to your house, because you don't have to tear into 374 00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.200 the walls, you don't have to mess up with anything. You're simply swapping 375 00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:00.759 out door for door and making the you know, your home quieter. The 376 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:06.200 other thing, though, if you are doing a renovation or remodel, undoubtedly 377 00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:11.039 you're taking drywall off some walls in some places because you're fiddling with electrical or 378 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:15.519 plumbing or what have you. And even if you're not, even if your 379 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:21.319 goal is just soundproofing the house. One sheet of drywall off one side of 380 00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:26.440 a wall, and then we insulate, insulate with rock wol sound insulation. 381 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:33.039 Insulate the interior walls of your home. Again, that's something that is never 382 00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:38.359 done when it comes to the actual initial construction of your home. The code 383 00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:45.200 requires builders to insulate the exterior walls the shell of your house in order to 384 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:49.039 oh spect it from energy. So you're saying, like, between the walls 385 00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:53.160 between two bedrooms, you should insulate those, not just the wall that's on 386 00:27:53.240 --> 00:28:00.240 the side of the house exactly. We're not insulating it for energy r well, 387 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.200 not that kind of energy. We're not insulating it to keep it warm 388 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:06.720 or to keep it cool. That's what the exterior wall insulation is during We're 389 00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:11.039 insulating those walls for sound transmission. And there is this used to be kind 390 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.440 of a rare thing. You're like, where in the world do I find 391 00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:18.160 that? Nowadays, though, you can go down to your local big box 392 00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.039 store. You can go to Low's or home depot and find rock wool sound 393 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.279 insulation sitting right on the shelf where you can pack that into the wall before 394 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.720 you close it back up. Since you're already renovating and remodeling and messing with 395 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:36.759 the wall, it makes a massive, massive difference. You think most rooms 396 00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:41.640 in your house, you may have one or two rooms worth of walls in 397 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:47.200 between you and the outside of the home, and every wall of insulation that 398 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:52.000 sound has to pass through. It struggles and it weakens, and it dampens 399 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.759 as it gets there, and it will quiet your entire house down significantly. 400 00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:02.079 Okay, and you have a on your show notes you're saying tuning for every 401 00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:04.480 room. So do you go room to room and say what do I need 402 00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:08.799 to do for this room? Yeah, exactly, And that is that's about 403 00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:14.519 the sound inside the room. Just like at the studio, we not only 404 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.880 want to soundproof the studio so that outside sounds aren't getting in, but once 405 00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.519 we're inside the room itself, we want to think about, well, what 406 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.400 a sound, how does it act in here? I might have a lot 407 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:32.160 of hard surfaces, like you know, hardwood flooring and solid surface flooring is 408 00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:36.880 very very popular these days as opposed to carpet. One good thing about carpet, 409 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:40.240 and it's probably the only good thing about carpet is that it does a 410 00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:44.400 great job of not reflecting sounds, so it kind of deadens the sound in 411 00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.119 the room, doesn't have as much reverb or echo. If you've got hard 412 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:49.680 surface flooring, you think about things like, well, could I put an 413 00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:53.519 area rug down in here? What other kind of soft elements can I put 414 00:29:53.559 --> 00:30:00.920 on the walls so that sound doesn't bounce around inside a room and hollow and 415 00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:03.519 reverby probably like a little bit how I do on the phone right now. 416 00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:08.440 So we've got control of those things. That's kind of tuning, and we 417 00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.720 go so far as to say, you know, you can even affect the 418 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:17.279 sound outside your home, outside the walls of the house. When it comes 419 00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:21.599 to that. Now, you can't control the sound that's coming from the rest 420 00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:26.000 of the city around you, but you can mask it quite often. That's 421 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.079 why I'm really big on like water features of flowing water in a backyard, 422 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.920 something as simple as a fountain, because it just so happens. If you've 423 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:38.920 ever noticed this, But the sound of running water is very, very similar. 424 00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:44.759 It rides on almost all the same frequencies as the sound of let's say, 425 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:49.079 auto traffic, car traffic, or freeway noise. One of the most 426 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:53.200 wonderful examples of this is near my house. There is the Four Seasons hotel 427 00:30:53.599 --> 00:31:00.680 in Westlake that has out and back in its open courtyard massive waterfall. And 428 00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.920 you know, it's beautiful to look at and it's lovely and all of that, 429 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:07.759 But the real secret of why that's there is that right on the other 430 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.839 side of that wall is the one oh one Freeway. And you would think 431 00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.839 this luxury resort hotel, if it didn't have this waterfall, you would be 432 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.279 hearing the sounds of the freeway. And the truth is you are hearing the 433 00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:25.279 sounds of the freeway, but you can't distinguish them between the sounds of the 434 00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:30.119 cars and the sounds of the water. And everybody is relaxing and just enjoying 435 00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:34.200 what they think is mostly the sound of the waterfall, so you're just hiding 436 00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:41.359 it. Very interesting. So Dean's going to have tons more tips and tricks 437 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:47.279 and other things that you can do to effectively sound design your home. And 438 00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:51.759 that's going to be up this weekend exactly, and it's six to eight am 439 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:56.200 on Saturday and the nine to noon on Sunday. It's Home with Dean Sharp 440 00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.720 right here on KFI. You can also follow him home with Dean. Thank 441 00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:05.960 you, demon enjoy palm springs. Thanks Amy. All right, when we 442 00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.759 come back, we're going to be talking oscars with our very own Jason Nathanson. 443 00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:14.319 You're listening to Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI AM six forty. 444 00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:16.759 There's so much more coming up. You don't want to leave because Handle on 445 00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:20.960 the News is coming up at six oh five. The FDA has given the 446 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:28.880 ok to use LSD in some circumstances to treat people suffering from anxiety. Here's 447 00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:31.000 what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The house is packed 448 00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:37.839 past the Lake and Riley Act. All Republicans and thirty seven Democrats voted in 449 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.599 favor of the bill. It requires the detention of any immigrant who commits burglary 450 00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:46.160 or theft, like the man suspected of killing college student lacan Rylan Riley. 451 00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:52.160 Rather in Georgia, the Anaheim Planning Commission plans to vote Monday on a roughly 452 00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:57.480 two billion dollar Disneyland expansion. The project is called Disneyland Forward. It would 453 00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:00.279 add more rides, hotels, shopping, dining, and entertainment. The Anaheim 454 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:06.240 City Council could consider the plan as soon as April sixteenth, Max is the 455 00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:10.759 latest streaming company to crack down on password sharing. Warner Brothers Discovery said yesterday 456 00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:16.960 it's going to restrict users sharing of accounts outside their household. It'll start later 457 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:22.640 this year. And also if users on Max do share accounts with people outside 458 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.720 their home, they risk having the accounts suspended or even terminated. Right now, 459 00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:30.200 let's say good morning too, ABC's entertainment Guru and the man who knows 460 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:35.720 all things Oscars, Jason Nathanson, Good morning, Jason, Hey, good 461 00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:38.559 morning. So Oscars are Sunday. Yes. Do we think there's going to 462 00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:45.000 be any surprises? There's a couple categories that there's a potential for some surprise. 463 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.640 For the most part, Oppenheimer's going to win pretty much everything. It's 464 00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:53.519 up for thirteen awards. I have it leading in at least eight categories, 465 00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:58.519 so I think it's gonna be the one that we're talking about Monday morning. 466 00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.799 Is this is the movie. It swept everything, and I'm fine with that, 467 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:05.960 especially Best Picture. It's pretty much a Locke to win Best Picture. 468 00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:08.960 But in one of the categories where it has no nominations, actress in a 469 00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:14.119 leading role, that's probably going to go to Lily Gladstone for Killers of the 470 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:17.280 Flower Moon. But Emma Stone has been winning some things this awards season for 471 00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:22.400 poor things as well, so I think her performance. I think Emma Stone's 472 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:24.800 performance. They were both good, but I think Emma's was really good, 473 00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:29.480 even though I didn't love the movie, but she just did an amazing job 474 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:34.760 becoming that person. Her performance is fantastic in that. But Lily Gladstone has 475 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:38.679 a chance to make history here as the first Native American I think actor or 476 00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:45.360 actress to ever win in that category. And I think the Oscars, for 477 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:47.480 the voters, it's too much for them to pass up the chance at making 478 00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:52.360 that history. Yeah. Also while awarding a good performance or a great performance 479 00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:57.679 that deserves it, not to say she doesn't deserve it, she absolutely does. 480 00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:00.360 So I think that we're going to see her on the stage and that's 481 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:04.360 gonna be one of those great moments of the night, giving a very emotional 482 00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:07.360 acceptance speech. Then you know, you know, actor in the leading role, 483 00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:12.960 Killian Murphy is pretty much a lock there, but Paul Giamoni has won 484 00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:16.880 some stuff for the Holdovers. I vote for Paul on this one. Okay, 485 00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:22.800 great, I think you know, Killian Murphy leads a three and a 486 00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:29.440 half hour movie and and does it superbly. So I think that's really the 487 00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:34.039 shot there, and I think that's what's going to happen. But there's a 488 00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:37.239 lot of love for Paul Giamonti, so you know that that's possible as well. 489 00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.800 And then actor in a supporting role. Robert Downey Junior pretty much has 490 00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:45.920 a lock on that one as well. But Mark Ruffalo from Poor Things has 491 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.840 won a couple of things so far this season as well, in a role 492 00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:53.960 I don't think he deserves to win there. His performance of that film, 493 00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:59.719 I just didn't warm to it. So I really hope to see Robert Downey 494 00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.000 Junior on that stage. And then actress in a leading role, that's pretty 495 00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:06.960 much a foregone conclusion. It's going to be Davine Joey Randolph from The Holdovers 496 00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:09.519 is good. Yeah, and she's won everything so far leading up to this 497 00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:13.559 season. Yeah. Okay, So I've been trying to and I don't know 498 00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:15.519 if you guys have been trying to do this, but I've been trying to 499 00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:19.239 see as many of the movies that I can before the Oscars. So sure, 500 00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:22.480 if you haven't seen Oppenheimer obviously because I was a holdout on that. 501 00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:24.199 I didn't see it toill really late in the game. But are there any 502 00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:28.119 that people might have like kind of said, oh wait on that one that 503 00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:31.880 you think, Jason, they should they should go see before Sunday? Well, 504 00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:37.199 I mean it's tough because Oppenheimer's gonna win a bout. If you've seen 505 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:40.639 that, you know, then you know that and that's one that you probably 506 00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:45.679 you don't need to see. Barbie also might win a couple, but you 507 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:50.159 yeah, but everybody's seen that already. Yeah, you know, I think 508 00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:52.639 The Holdovers has, like we talked about, has a shot at winning a 509 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.119 couple, So you might want to check out that one. And it's it's 510 00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:59.679 an easy watch. It is of all of them. I mean, not 511 00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:04.960 that it's not serious at parts, but it is. It's got comedy and 512 00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:07.280 humor, you know, as opposed to something like Anatomy of a Fall, 513 00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:12.960 which a lot of people love. That one. I don't love as much 514 00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:17.800 as a lot of people did. But it's a very serious movie and it's 515 00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:21.199 kind of a heavy movie. And if you want to watch that, you 516 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:24.039 can on streaming, but you're gonna have to pay for it, you know. 517 00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:28.079 The Holdovers is available on Peacock, so if you have that, you 518 00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:31.960 can watch that for free. Is Past Lives? Past Lives is nominated, 519 00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:35.079 isn't that? Yeah, that's that's the next one. I was gonna mention. 520 00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:39.760 I loved Past Lives. I don't know that it's going to win anything 521 00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:46.480 on Sunday, but it is a beautiful you know, maybe a little slow 522 00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:51.159 for some people, but it's just a beautifully done film, you know. 523 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:55.159 It's it's just a kind of a meditation on the choices that we make and 524 00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:59.599 how things can go one of two ways in life, or three ways or 525 00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.960 four a way. And I couldn't remember who the actress was, Like you 526 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:05.440 watch, you know when you see a show and you're like, who is 527 00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:09.519 that? And she was She's on the Morning Show readily. Yeah, she 528 00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:14.639 was great and I really love because I don't like her character so much on 529 00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:16.800 the Morning Show, I'm not I'm not a huge fan, but in Past 530 00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:22.960 Lives she's fantastic. Completely turned me around on the actress herself, which is, 531 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:25.320 you know, it's great to see somebody do something different, and I 532 00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:31.559 think that this role is a little different for her. So that's Past Lives 533 00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:35.920 is streaming on Paramount Plus, so I would say check that out. I 534 00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:40.119 would also say Poor Things has a chance at winning couple and I loved it. 535 00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:47.400 It's the satirical edgy sister to Barbie, which with a lot of nudity 536 00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:52.840 and with a lot of nudity and sex. It's not for kids, but 537 00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.639 that's streaming on Hulu right now. And I would say, you know, 538 00:38:55.679 --> 00:39:02.039 if you just want to see something different visually, it's so interesting, it's 539 00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:07.519 singular, it's unique, yorgo slanthemost who's the director and also co writer, 540 00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:14.880 is he does things on his own and he's got a vision and I really 541 00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:19.960 respect that his films are not always easy to watch. One of his past 542 00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:22.840 films that I really loved, The Favorite, which got a bunch of OSCAR 543 00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:28.320 nominations as well, is really really good. But Poor Things is also very 544 00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:30.079 good as well. All right, Jason Nathanson, and you're going to be 545 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:34.480 at this ceremony on Sunday, right, I will be there Sundays for you 546 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:38.440 backstage eating the shrimp. Oh all right, thank you, Jason, have 547 00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:40.920 a great time you too. Take it all right, Let's get back to 548 00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:44.800 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom.

Wisconsin 560 00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:37.400 Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher says he supports it. It is TikTok's choice whether to 561 00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:40.880 continue and not be host on app stores or just to divast and separate from 562 00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:45.559 ByteDance and TikTok and then people can continue to enjoy the app. TikTok's in 563 00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:49.800 and notice yesterday warning users of a total ban.
