WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.599 demand on the iHeartRadio app. So glad you're getting up and about with us 3 00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:15.119 this morning. I got my coffee, I'm already, I'm awake and I'm 4 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.559 on pip Watch. You know the eagles that we tell you about Jackie in 5 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.480 Shadow, They're still sitting on their nest. More than thirty thousand people are 6 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.440 watching on YouTube, and I have to say it kind of cracks me up 7 00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:33.799 because I've got producer Ann Hooked and she just left the newsroom and said, 8 00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.960 I love Jackie in Shadow. I know they're amazing and amazing to watch them. 9 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.359 You can watch them on YouTube or at the Friends of Big Bear Valley. 10 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.759 They also have the feed up on their website. Really interesting and like 11 00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.960 I said, Pitwatch, we're hoping and hoping and keeping our fingers crossed that 12 00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:57.320 those little eaglets make their appearance sometime soon. Here is what is ahead on 13 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:02.399 wake Up Call. The rest movie arm rror Hanna Gutieras Reid has been found 14 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:07.599 guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Helena Hutchins. Hutchins was killed 15 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:12.200 when the prop gun held by actor Alan Baldwin fired a live round on the 16 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.799 set in twenty twenty one. Baldwin's trial is coming up, and we're going 17 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.719 to be talking with ABC's Mark Remillard more about this. At five point fifty, 18 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:25.519 voters at Huntington Beach have passed a measure that bans the display of non 19 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:30.560 governmental flags on government property. The passing of Measure B means buildings like city 20 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:36.040 Hall will no longer be allowed to fly flags like the Rainbow Pride flag and 21 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:41.519 other cultural banners. Close to sixty percent of voters approved Measure B. Federal 22 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.799 Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell says he expects interest rates to start coming down, he 23 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.359 just can't say exactly when. On Capitol Hill yesterday, he said the rates 24 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.959 probably won't come down until the Fed is more confident that inflation is moving toward 25 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.079 its two percent target goal. Then at six five its handle on the news 26 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.840 by Jove, I think they may have done it. The House is actually 27 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:07.240 passing bills for a long term funding bill. Maybe they'll stop kicking the can 28 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.719 down the road and just doing those continuing resolutions every month or two. Let's 29 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.840 get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 30 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.080 newsroom. President Biden's getting ready to deliver his third State of the Union address. 31 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:24.240 White House Press Secretary Carne Jean Pierre says Biden will talk about his achievements 32 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.759 as president. He wants to talk about protecting and implementing his agenda. If 33 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.560 you think about the infrastructure by parts in Infrastructure Law, if you think about 34 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:38.680 the the Chips and Science Act. Biden's speech tonight comes as a new poll 35 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.759 finds growing share of adults in the US doubt he has the memory and acuity 36 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.639 to do the job. The survey by the Associated Press NORKS Center for Public 37 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:53.199 Affairs Research shows sixty three percent of adults say they lack confidence in Biden's mental 38 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:59.400 capability. A two hundred foot long wall in San Clementi will eventually help stop 39 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:04.479 landslide debris from shutting down rail service in Orange County. OC Transportation Authority Board 40 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:08.960 member Katrina Foli says Amtrak passenger service resumed yesterday, but the wall is a 41 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:14.080 preventative measure. It will help us on the land side, but on the 42 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.960 coastal side, we see lots of coastal erosions still, and we really have 43 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.759 to prioritize getting sand to the beaches to build the buffer. Fully, says 44 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.120 four of seven areas of concern for landslides will be more protected when the wall 45 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.520 is completed at the end of the month. For now, metrolink passengers will 46 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:36.199 have to continue taking a bus around the construction. Scientists with NASA JPL have 47 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.000 seen satellite photos from the recent flooding around the state, and they say the 48 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:43.719 images showed areas of the state that hadn't been prone to flooding before. At 49 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.319 one point, official said the storm's forced flood watches for nearly every part of 50 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:51.280 the state's coastline. Cedric david Is with NASSEN says the Surface Water and Ocean 51 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.439 Topography Mission or SWAT, is designed to keep an eye on fresh water. 52 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.479 Understanding how water moves around the Earth allows us to estimate how much water we 53 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.800 have access to for the growing population around the world. Official said the atmospheric 54 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.319 rivers last month left record amounts of water, and the new satellite will help 55 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.039 track where all that fresh water will go. Steve Gregory k if I knows 56 00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.159 it's time to take a look at your early morning commute. Let's check in 57 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.319 now with Nick Paliochini. We've got slowing in Riverside on the ninety one. 58 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.040 I'm gonna be surprising. I mean, it's the usual delays for you to 59 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:25.959 make it away westbound right now from Tyler and stretches beyond the fifteen, continuing 60 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.040 through Corona toward about Surface Club your life fifty years you make going from the 61 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.399 seventy one to two forty one Tour Road and continuing through yo Berlindan Anheim Hills 62 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.319 toward the fifty five. That's all looking relatively decent for your drive. I 63 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.240 got an update on something otherwise, something that is slowing you down pound to 64 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:42.279 fifteen yourself on keyword is KFI traving northbound side of the seventy one as you 65 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.120 come off the sixty heading toward about Mission Boulevard due to overnight counter and Scooz 66 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.360 wrapping up shop in the area. Still seeing a pretty slow going drive as 67 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.000 folks are making their way from the sixty toward the ten. So definitely going 68 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.560 to be a busy one for you there. As you make you way out 69 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.439 of the high desert fifteen southbound, a light and patch you for you leaving 70 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.160 the emerge of the three ninety five or Joshua Street leaving Hisperio fifteen southbound, 71 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.160 continuing through the Go Home past past than one thirty eight sward Clayhorn for the 72 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.399 southbound toward ken Win and then beyond that into the Davoria or the fifteen two 73 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:10.639 fifteens. But actually looking pretty solid, pretty decent for your drive. Not 74 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.279 the major there, kay, I find this guy helps gets to there faster. 75 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.000 I'm Nick Poliochini. Thank you. Nick. Fumes have been detected in 76 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.519 the cabin of an Alaska Airline's flight, which forced the pilots to turn around. 77 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:23.920 The plane was on its way to Phoenix last night. When it returned 78 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:29.680 to Portland International Airport. Fire crews investigated but couldn't determine the cause of the 79 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:35.199 fumes. Seven people asked for medical evaluations. A review of Google Trends has 80 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:41.920 found LA is the second worst city in the nation four potholes and noalysis by 81 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.279 USA Today looked at online searches for words like potholes and pothole damage in a 82 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.759 given area. Only New York City scored worse by a razor thin margin. 83 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.560 Mark is one of the most challenging months for LA drivers wanting to avoid potholes 84 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.600 and triple a's Doug Shoop says, keep safe by avoiding distraction. Drivers who 85 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.680 are more focused on the road ahead are likely to hit potholes, So don't 86 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:06.279 be distracted by smart phones or talking with passengers. If you do hit a 87 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.439 pothole, get the checkbook ready. Shoop says. The average repair cost is 88 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.879 more than six hundred bucks. Michael Monks KFI News. Yeah, I've run 89 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.160 into a few of those myself. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Stephen 90 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.360 port NOI. So, Stephen, Nicky is out, Dean Phillips is out 91 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:26.560 on the Democratic side, and that leaves Trump and Biden. Congratulations America, 92 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.800 We've got the rematch we've all been waiting for. So look, it's two 93 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.920 hundred and forty three days, just under eight months until the general election, 94 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:42.480 and the race is on the question of course in political circles, what happens 95 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.759 to the two point eight million people who voted for Nicki Haley in the contest 96 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.199 from Iowa through Super Tuesday. It made up about twenty five percent of the 97 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:55.680 total Republican primary and caucus votes cast. Are these people going to vote for 98 00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:00.839 Donald Trump? Are some of them liberals and moderates who participated in Republican primaries 99 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.040 in the states where that was possible, for example, in Vermont and Virginia 100 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:10.600 open primaries. New Hampshire had a semi open primary where as long as you 101 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.079 were undeclared, you could cast a ballot. Are these people going to vote 102 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.839 for Joe Biden in November? Are they going to vote for someone else in 103 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.680 November where they just sit at home and not vote at all. We don't 104 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:25.519 know, and there'll be plenty of time to analyze that possibility between now and 105 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:30.240 November. Well, and both sides came out after Haley announced that she was 106 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.600 suspending her campaign, right, Biden came out and said, hey, hey, 107 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.519 we might not agree on everything, but come over to us. Well, 108 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:39.759 that's right, I mean he Joe Biden, who right now is down 109 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:46.199 to Donald Trump in the national polls, needs to appeal to people who might 110 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:53.000 be inclined to support someone like Nicki Haley for a policy for policy reasons, 111 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.600 and say, for reasons of temperament and policy, you can't vote for Donald 112 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.959 Trump. That there's too much on the line for America and American institutions, 113 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.680 an American democracy to elect someone such as Donald Trump. And that's the appeal 114 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.360 that Joe Biden will make to people who might disagree with him on things such 115 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:13.639 as tax policy, maybe even border policy. But we'll see. Look tonight 116 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.279 at the State of the Union address, it's an opportunity for Joe Biden to 117 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:22.240 speak to the largest audience that he would likely amass on radio and television until 118 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.560 certainly the conventions in the summer and the debates in the fall. So this 119 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.560 is an opportunity early on now the race is set for him to establish a 120 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.679 clear framework and vision for what the country would be under four more years of 121 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.799 Joe Biden's presidency. It's also an opportunity for him to demonstrate his vim and 122 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.879 vigor at age eighty one and a half and to perhaps pat down some of 123 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:52.600 the concerns about him his age, his decline. Yeah, because a lot 124 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:54.519 of people don't think he has a lot of vim and vigor left. Well, 125 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.240 that's right, and that's an obvious concern. And we'll see. This 126 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.840 is a bit of a high wire act for the president. I mean, 127 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.000 if he performs well as well as he arguably did last year. We got 128 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.919 into it in real time with House Republicans who were cat calling him, and 129 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.840 he called him out and went off script, and it was a moment the 130 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.879 White House tried to leverage for weeks thereafter. And that was remember on Social 131 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.559 Security and Medicare and the suggestion that the White House made that Republicans were aiming 132 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.000 to cut those programs, and Republicans and fiercely denied it because it wasn't in 133 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.840 their policy posals at that time. And Marjorie Tyler Green called the presidental liar, 134 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.879 and so the President said, okay, fine, you know you won't 135 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.879 do it. All right, we achieved something, and that again was a 136 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.840 moment that was crystallized and leveraged by the White House for weeks thereafter. So 137 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.360 we'll see if he can do it again tonight. That's exactly right, and 138 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.960 listen, but if he can't, if he stumbles, if he you know, 139 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.559 has moments where he loses his way, that will cut against him. 140 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:56.720 And you're right because you see the press conferences where there is stumbling and moments 141 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.840 where he just kind of loses his train of thought and that kind of stuff. 142 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.879 But so many people don't watch those like we watch them, but most 143 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.039 people don't well, and there are viral clips that go around, but look 144 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:11.159 with Americans watching and listening to this speech live. He's got a teleprompter, 145 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.000 he's got prepared remarks in front of him. I think, generally speaking, 146 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.080 when the president is sticks to the script, when he doesn't seek to add 147 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.799 labor ad, he performs well. I think, you know, one of 148 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.480 the challenges will be if he decides in the moment to go off that script. 149 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.559 But he's been rehearsing this speech for a while, so you imagine, 150 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.200 and he's been tinkering with it, as all presidents do. This president is 151 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.759 certainly one to do that. We'll see if he can perform as well as 152 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.399 his aides expected and want him to. Okay, and we'll be watching. 153 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.679 Steve Fortnoy, thank you so much for the information. Appreciate it. All 154 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.720 right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 155 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.000 twenty four our newsroom. The parents of twins in Garden Grove who tested positive 156 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.320 for fentanel'll get to spend some time behind bars. The mother of the twin 157 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.320 boys took one of the infants to Children's Hospital Orange County because she said something 158 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.720 didn't seem right. Police Sergeant Nick Jensen says doctors found a fracture in the 159 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.679 baby's skull and fentinyl in the baby system, but it's unclear how it got 160 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.840 there. I've seen kids be exposed to drugs from people leaving it around you, 161 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.879 in and around the floor, generally things falling down, so it is 162 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.279 a very dangerous situation. When police took the baby's twin brother from the home 163 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.799 in early January, that baby also tested positive for fentanyl. The parents pleaded 164 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.799 guilty to child abuse Tuesday and were sentenced to four years in prison. Chris 165 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.480 Adler KFI News, A nineteen year old arrested for a fatal stabbing at a 166 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.120 house party in Riverside is being held without bail. He's accused of stabbing two 167 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.480 other teenagers on Sunday. One of them died. A man making a ruckus 168 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.399 at a McDonald's and Fullerton has died after being hit in the chest with a 169 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.480 police beanbag. Fullerton Police Sergeant Ryan O'Neil says they were called out to the 170 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.600 McDonald yesterday morning because the man was wandering around outside didn't have a shirt on. 171 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.039 The manager of the business was calling because she was concerned for the safety 172 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.480 of her employees that were just about to start their shift. O'Neil says the 173 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.440 man was uncooperative and started swinging a belt at officers. They tried tasing him 174 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.720 first, but that didn't stop them, so he was hit with the beanbag. 175 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.600 This guy says he thinks the officer's actions were justified. Do we start 176 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.519 coming after the police They need to protect themselves to even with the belt that 177 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.879 belt, like on my belt, it's got a clip, and start swinging 178 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.720 that and that didn't cause some damage. The man died at the hospital. 179 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.840 A new study from Children's Hospital LA shows kids with sickle cell anemia are vulnerable 180 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:30.320 to serious infections, but a lot are not getting proper care. Researchers compared 181 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:35.399 Medicaid data from California and Georgia between twenty ten and nineteen and found that only 182 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.840 about twenty percent of kids received preventative antibiotics in a given year. They say 183 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:46.120 twice daily doses of antibiotics can protect young children from developing serious infections. CHLA 184 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:52.759 says kids with private insurance generally meet the standards for care. The DEA has 185 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.799 warned retailers the government's going to go after them if they continue to sell machines 186 00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.639 that create pills that look like the real thing. ABC's Andy Field says the 187 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.559 agency has confiscated seventy nine million deadly counterfeit pills made by pill press machines sold 188 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.879 online, DEEA Administrator, and Milgram, saying many of those pills added to 189 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.600 the more than one hundred and ten thousand drug overdoses in twenty twenty two. 190 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.960 Field says the fake pills containing fentanyl are being made to look exactly like real 191 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.519 oxycodone and percocet, among other drugs. He says it's become a major way 192 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.879 for dealers to get illegal drugs into the US. The FDA says lead contamination 193 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:37.519 found in recalled cinnamon apple sauce pouches last October extends to other products. The 194 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:43.120 agency has identified six brands of ground cinnamon with elevated levels of lead in them. 195 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.519 It says the levels in the products are far lower than what was in 196 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.960 the apple sauce, but prolonged exposure may be unsafe. When we come back, 197 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.919 Alexei Navalney's widow is following in her husband's footsteps and speaking out against Russia's 198 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.799 president Putin. We're gonna be talking with ab Sees Tom Rivers about what she's 199 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.320 doing and how much danger she could be putting herself in. You're listening to 200 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.759 Wake Up Call on demand from KFI AM six forty. You know, anytime 201 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.879 is good time for some Steely Dan music, but especially now because we got 202 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:20.759 sad news yesterday and that was that keyboardist Jim Beard has died. He actually 203 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.399 passed away on the second of March, and spokesperson said it was due to 204 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.919 a sudden illness, but we didn't say what. Steely Dan had Beard playing 205 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.120 the keys for them since two thousand and eight. I just saw them at 206 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.519 the Kia Forum along with the Eagles. Fantastic, So he will be missed. 207 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.639 Sixty three. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 208 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:50.919 Irvine Democratic Congresswoman Katie Porter has suggested that billionaires rigged the US Senate race 209 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.159 in favor of her rival, Adam Schiff. Porter, who did not win 210 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.360 a single county in Tuesday's primary, made the accusation yesterday on ex Schiff and 211 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.840 Republicans Steve Garvey were the top two vote getters, and we'll face off in 212 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:09.039 November. Alabama lawmakers have passed a Republican bill to protect in vitro fertilization the 213 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.360 legislation comes weeks after the state Supreme Court ruled that embryos are considered children. 214 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.039 Governor k Ivy has signed the bill into law. LA Mayor Karen Bass is 215 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.559 hoping to get approval from the La City Council today on a new partnership between 216 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.120 the city and the state that will officials say will help keep areas where homeless 217 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.399 people live near freeways cleaner and safer. The deal would let city crews access 218 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:39.519 Coltren's properties to remove trash and debris areas like under overpasses. This state would 219 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.039 reimburse the city for the cost of the cleanup. At six oh five, 220 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.240 it's much more than a speech tonight, a lot at stake. As President 221 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.200 Biden gives his third State of the Union address, Let's say good morning now 222 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:56.360 to ABC's Tom Rivers in London. Tom Alexey Navalney's widow is not backing down 223 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:02.759 and pretty much following in the footsteps of her husband exactly. We're talking about 224 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:07.240 a passive protest coming up in just over a week. March seventeenth, election 225 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:12.639 day in Russia, not only election year in the US in many European countries, 226 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:18.720 but also in Russia itself and basically at the behest of her late husband, 227 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:25.320 who kind of outlined this passive protest early February. In essence, he 228 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.799 says, people go out and vote, but vote for somebody other than Putin, 229 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.279 or just spoil your ballot. He says. In essence, that means 230 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.759 that it's it's legal and safe to do so, and there's no way to 231 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.200 counter it. So basically, you know, yes, in fact, if 232 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.360 it's like the past elections, Putin's going to win by phil on the blank 233 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.559 eighty ninety percent of the vote. That's the official numbers. But at least 234 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:53.279 the number of crunches in the Kremlin will at least see a substantial minority out 235 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:57.120 there saying we still don't like the way the country is going. So that's 236 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.039 what's going to be happening, as I say us over a week from now. 237 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.400 Okay, and so it's sort of in Russia, it would be like 238 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:11.440 in Minnesota here when so many of the voters did a no commitment on the 239 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.839 ballot. Yeah, I just kind of you know, Puts puts a marker 240 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.519 out. They're saying, you know, we're not satisfied, we're not happy, 241 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.920 and we're not going to be on the streets where we can picked up 242 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:25.640 and thrown in in the police station for hours on end, wasting time. 243 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:27.720 They're saying, look, we can do this. We're not going to be 244 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.160 locked up for it, and it will still stand the signal. Okay, 245 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.480 And she's hoping that a lot of people are going to turn out and do 246 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.559 this. Are they gonna are they just doing it at the at the ballot 247 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.759 box or is she hoping that like a bunch of people will come out in 248 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.359 stage sort of a rally or protest. I think the former. Uh, 249 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:53.200 basically just saying get in line and and and you know, vote for somebody 250 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:59.759 else or vote for nobody. And just as as an individual at protests, 251 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:03.079 saying you're not the only one out there, she says, hopefully millions of 252 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.160 people will be doing the same thing, and collectively you feel your trice at 253 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.200 least doing something. It's not going to be a game changer, But she 254 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.200 says, look, you're not standing alone. You have other people out there 255 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:21.400 that feel the same way, and doing it this way could be safer for 256 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:26.319 them rather than staging a large demonstration because Russia doesn't look very safely very much, 257 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.680 so, yeah, very much. I mean, oftentimes you know, 258 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:33.359 people be rounded up and you know, just hassle put in the in the 259 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.799 police station for many, many hours, and you don't want to do that. 260 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.720 You know, potentially you could show up in court, but no, 261 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:45.279 it's not it's not a way to spend your your afternoon and evening. So 262 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.440 she's saying, look, just go ahead and do this, and hopefully the 263 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:53.519 numbers will scare maybe some of the people that take care of the numbers in 264 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.359 the Kremlin and say, look, maybe we not got to change course, 265 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:03.200 but at least the numbers will reverberate and say, look there's some disquiet. 266 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:06.920 Let's put it that way out in the country. Yeah. And then is 267 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.680 Uliah I mean, she's putting herself at risk by even speaking out, but 268 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:18.640 is it is she on the Kremlins radar like Alexei was, well, I 269 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.039 don't, I really don't think so. And again it was pointed out that 270 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.119 you know, you can do this, and then you know people in usay, 271 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:30.160 Minnesota have done it. People in the UK oftentimes they go in and 272 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.960 they quote unquote spoil or ballot. Why because they don't like the conservative, 273 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.279 they don't like the labor candidate. And if they don't like any of the 274 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:38.880 independents that are running. They'll just say, well, okay, there you 275 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.160 go. It just shows you that, you know, X number of people 276 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:45.920 voted for no one because some people would say, you don't give an election 277 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:51.359 they don't feel anybody's up to the mark and worth voting for. Yeah. 278 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:53.599 I don't know about you, but when you hear about stories like this and 279 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:59.599 how they have to like covertly demonstrate, it makes you appreciate living here even 280 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.359 more well exactly, And it's a situation where you know, they've past few 281 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:12.400 years Putin has cracked down on some aspects of protests, but Western Europe you're 282 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:17.240 seeing the same thing. We're seeing laws go through parliaments here to try to 283 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:21.519 curb, certainly in the UK curb some of the actions of protesters out there. 284 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.119 And you know that is your god given right. Yeah, as long 285 00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:29.960 as you don't do anything illegal, you're not doing anybody a favor. You're 286 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.079 doing it because it is your right to get out there and express your views. 287 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:36.759 All right, Well, we'll be watching the election and it's on March 288 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.359 seventeenth, Right, you got it, all right, Thank you, Tom 289 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:42.960 Rivers, appreciate it.

She did the best 294 00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.599 preserved the defendants rights as well as the rights the people to move forward. 295 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:08.359 Chapman University law professor Mario Minero says the judge also helped prevent later motions for 296 00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:12.680 bias. But if someone is continually disrupted, the judge can continue with the 297 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:17.559 trial without the defendant there and they'd be upheld on that. Prosecutor say. 298 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:21.680 Blood from Blaize Bernstein was found in Samuel Woodward's car and on a knife in 299 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.920 his home in twenty eighteen, along with homophobic and white supremacist material.

Turned out, she pulled so 306 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.359 hard that it did pull the skin from the back of my ear, and 307 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:59.079 I stitches back there and then I have so many staples in the back of 308 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:03.720 my head. The bear was euthanized because she started getting aggressive. When police 309 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.279 responded, the cubs were tranquilized.

So I had it 339 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.279 when I got home, and I was like, oh, this is pretty 340 00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:11.440 good. But then when I warmed some up later, I was like, 341 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:15.240 oh, it's much better that way. Yeah. I was gonna say so 342 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.640 to Piggyback on your pro tip air fryer. Fantastic exactly.

Thanks Nick. When 346 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.160 we come back, I'm going to go out in about two Orange taking a 347 00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:41.079 peek into California's history. You're listening to Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI 348 00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.960 AM six forty. Steely Dan keyboardist Jim Beard has died. He was sixty 349 00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.000 three, So I thought we'd play little of their music. Boy, it's 350 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.599 good. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Rust 351 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.720 movie Armor, Hannah Gutierra's reed has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the 352 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:03.519 death of cinematographer Lena Hutchins. Hutchins was killed when the prop gun held by 353 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.920 e Alec Baldwin fired a live round on set. In twenty twenty one. 354 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.119 Baldwin's trial is coming up. We're going to be talking with ABC's Mark Remillard 355 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:17.119 more about this in just about fifteen minutes. At least thirty six hundred cows 356 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:21.119 have been killed in the more than a million acre wildfire burning in the Texas 357 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:26.160 Panhandle. AGG Commissioner Sid Miller says the number of deaths is growing. Miller 358 00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.680 says the flames have burned up grasslands and cattle farms are in desperate need of 359 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.200 hay to feed the cows that have survived. Voters in Huntington Beach have passed 360 00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:38.920 a measure banning the display of non governmental flags on government properties. The passing 361 00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:44.359 of Measure B means buildings like city Hall will no longer be allowed to fly 362 00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:49.160 flags like the rainbow Pride flag and other cultural banners. Close to sixty percent 363 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:55.119 of voters approved Measure B at six p'h five its handle on the news. 364 00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.920 And until now the Huthis had just been hitting ships. But now the attacks 365 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:02.799 in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden have turned deadly? Could that be 366 00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:06.799 a game changer? Time to go out and about. We're headed to the 367 00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:11.559 Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University this week. I got to catch 368 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.240 up with the founder of the museum, Mark Hilbert. Now, the museum 369 00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.119 has been there for about eight years, but it closed down for a big 370 00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.799 expansion and just reopened to the public last week. So tell us what the 371 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.200 museum has been and what it is now. Okay, we'll try and do 372 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:32.559 that. So the museum was about seventy five hundred square feet and because our 373 00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:37.440 collection is pretty good, I mean it's about five thousand paintings, it's spectacular, 374 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:44.039 we needed and wanted to show more. So we tripled the size of 375 00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:48.920 the museum so that we could show more of our work and also show some 376 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:53.039 other examples from our collections. Okay, and you're the founder of this museum. 377 00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:56.559 This is your baby and a lot of these pieces belong to you, 378 00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:00.640 yes, and they are got a tour a little bit earlier, and it's 379 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:04.720 something that I definitely think you should come down and see because it's not only 380 00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:10.279 a museum, it's a museum and it's the story of California, which is 381 00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:15.160 so cool because it's all focused on California and there's so much to see and 382 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:19.640 there's so many amazing artists here. So we wanted to start actually with Millard 383 00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:25.200 Sheets, and boyd is he have some cool pictures. We're going to take 384 00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:29.599 a walk around and talk to us a little bit about Millard Sheets, who 385 00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:34.200 is one of the artists who is being featured in a rotating exhibit. This 386 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:40.440 isn't a permanent exhibit here, so tell us about what makes him so special. 387 00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:45.240 Well, Millard was one of the most important artists in California in the 388 00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:49.200 earlier years of the thirties and forties. He grew up in a horse ranch 389 00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:56.640 in Pomona and he became pretty famous local boy, right. His artwork was 390 00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:03.400 sold in New York City and he had a great deal of fame with painting 391 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.039 that he submitted to the French Salon in Paris when he was like twenty five 392 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:12.559 years old, got the painting accepted. He received numerous gold medal awards all 393 00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:18.480 the way across the country, so he was really famous, and he really 394 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:23.559 depicted the culture of early California art. Yeah. So if you're looking over 395 00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:27.000 our shoulder right now, this is one of his earliest pictures, and it's 396 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:33.039 of San dimas a train station. And so they take these little slices of 397 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:38.759 California and put them on the canvas and you can just see so many different 398 00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:42.599 things. There's this, where's this. It's a tenement. It's tenement. 399 00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:48.319 It's probably Bunker Hill in Los Angeles. I know where that is. And 400 00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:51.720 it's a watercolor, Okay. And so as you walk around the gallery, 401 00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:59.559 you see all these really cool glimpses of California's history, and the paintings tell 402 00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.160 such amazing story, Like this one is one of my favorite in all of 403 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.400 Los Angeles, and its shot is Ravine. This is before Dodger Stadium was 404 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.200 there, right, this is nineteen twenty nine, And it's like you're looking 405 00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:15.440 in the backyards of these people. Yeah, and you get a glimpse into 406 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.680 their lives. And I think that that's what's so cool about these paintings. 407 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.559 And then around the corner is one of my other favorite places, and that 408 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.079 is where you can hear some of the best music in all of Sudthern, 409 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:29.559 California. And that's the Hollywood Bowl, right, And what a stunning picture 410 00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.119 of that. It's just so cool. And then not only do you take 411 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:34.759 a look back at the past, but then Mark, you were telling me 412 00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:38.960 earlier, like this picture of the bowl in the front, there was water 413 00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:44.039 and that's real. Yeah, it's real, that's right. At some point, 414 00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.640 well, it reflected the music out. The thing I like about this 415 00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:51.839 painting of the most is a list. It's a feeling of excitement, just 416 00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:55.119 like when you're walking into the hot It really does, it really does. 417 00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:59.319 So there's all kinds of different art, but again, all of it tells 418 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:03.640 the story of California. Right. And so we're in one building that has 419 00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:10.720 temporary exhibits. Yeah, and then and the other building is a whole different 420 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:14.839 collection, and that's part of our permanent collection. So the other building is 421 00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:19.240 ninety eight percent from our collection, whereas in the rotating shows here in the 422 00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:23.200 South building, those are pieces that might be from our collection, but a 423 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:27.559 lot of them are borrowed from other collections, so they're all loan from others, 424 00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:32.720 so more people can share in the really cool part that you have to 425 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.240 to see Mark, how did you get interested in this? Because you have 426 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:40.880 so many pieces and this has been something you've been collecting for how many years? 427 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:45.160 Well at least forty years. Yeah, So what sparked this interest? 428 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.799 Well, we bought a little house out in Palm Springs and we went to 429 00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:53.440 a consignment shop and found the watercolor. We took the water color home and 430 00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:57.440 fell in love with it. Went back and I discovered this book called The 431 00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:03.680 California Style Book by McClellan, and I started going through the pages and it 432 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.319 was paintings of everyday life in California. Yeah, and I grew up in 433 00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:10.839 California, and I said to myself, see, I can really relate to 434 00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:15.039 this. So we started buying some of these California had seen paintings for our 435 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.960 home. And then it kind of went kind of crazy, and pretty soon 436 00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:26.319 I went to Chapman University and asked them if they would be interested in having 437 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.640 a collection of our work, and we built the first rendition to the museum. 438 00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:36.720 And then later on, about eight years later, decided I wanted to 439 00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:40.599 expand it. And here we are today, and I can tell you it's 440 00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:45.319 really, really, it's inviting. I think the art itself is inviting. 441 00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:49.720 And I think you've just collected so many beautiful pieces and talked to enough people 442 00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:52.160 that they'd said, yeah, you can display my art. They have his 443 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.279 R. H. Norman Rockwells and there's a really fun story about how we 444 00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.519 tried to get a Norman Rockwell but he couldn't because Steven Spielberg wanted to Yes, 445 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:04.640 sorry, yeah, bija on that one. But when can people come 446 00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.559 to the museum? When's it open Thursday through Saturday from ten to five, 447 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:12.680 okay? And where can people find more information about Hilbert Museum dot org. 448 00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:15.920 Okay, they can reserve a space to come in. Okay, So make 449 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.640 a reservation to go to And it's a really like I said, it is 450 00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:22.720 so fun. If you want to learn about California, come to the Hilbert 451 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:28.319 Museum. It's just really a fun way to spend an afternoon. Absolutely. 452 00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:31.559 And one of the coolest things is about it that surprised me, because I 453 00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:37.279 am obviously no art afficionado, is how the artwork actually makes you feel something 454 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:43.079 Like Mark said, it elicits feelings, the different there's there's just one sculpture 455 00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.279 there now they're going to expand that, but all the different paintings and the 456 00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:51.079 drawings and that kind of stuff.

On the news 498 00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:53.800 this morning, after sitting by and really doing nothing for a couple of years, 499 00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:58.800 New York Governor Kathy Hokel is calling in the National Guard to help patrol 500 00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:02.320 the evermore day angerous subway system. Right now, let's say good morning to 501 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:07.639 ABC's Mark Remolard. Mark, we have a conviction in the death of Helena 502 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.760 Hutchins on the set of Alec Baldwin's movie Rust. Tell us what happened? 503 00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:17.679 Yeah, Jurors deliberating for less than three hours yesterday on whether or not the 504 00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:22.079 armorer of the set is the person who is in charge of the weapons on 505 00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:25.599 the set. Hannah Gutiera's read was guilty of involuntary manslaughter. There was also 506 00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:31.000 a tampering with evidence charge that was separate from the shooting itself, but in 507 00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:35.239 a way connected, and so jurors, as I said, deliberated less than 508 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:40.280 three hours before finding Hannah Gutierra's read guilty of the involuntary manslaughter aspect. They 509 00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:45.719 acquitted her of the tampering with evidences had to do with what prosecutor said was 510 00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:49.320 a bag of cocaine that she passed off to someone else on the set after 511 00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.880 the shootings. At least their theory wasn't perhaps in an attempt to hide it, 512 00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:57.239 but nevertheless acquitted on that charge. Found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter charge. 513 00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:00.679 She was remanded into custody immediately following that verdict, and a sentencing date 514 00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:04.960 hasn't been set yet, but she faces up to eighteen months in prison as 515 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:08.280 a result. Okay, and there were other things going on aside from having 516 00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:13.760 live ammal on set. Wasn't their testimony that she wasn't really up to the 517 00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:16.360 job and that maybe drugs and alcohol could have played a part in all of 518 00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:21.920 what happened. Yeah, I think that was certainly part of the theory for 519 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:25.800 prosecutors, I mean, bringing up and charging with the drug charge there that 520 00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:30.599 again ultimately acquitted of. But there was kind of a there was a theory 521 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:35.199 that prosecutors were putting forward here basically that there was a very cavalier attitude towards 522 00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:40.000 safety on this set. They showed images to the jury in which they described 523 00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:45.920 as actors pointing guns at other crew members. There was an image apparently of 524 00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:52.199 Gutierra's herself pointing a gun at herself, perhaps in a joking manner, And 525 00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:54.679 so basically what they say was there was this very cavalier attitude and that she 526 00:37:54.800 --> 00:38:00.280 brought live rounds onto the set that should have never been there. He didn't 527 00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:05.239 recognize that she had live rounds on the set for several days, and essentially 528 00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.159 that these got mixed up, one of them got put into the gun, 529 00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:12.679 gun goes off and kills a person as a result. So they're saying that 530 00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:16.159 she brought them onto the set. That's interesting because why would they have ever 531 00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:22.159 ever been anywhere near there? Yeah, exactly. Now, the defense tried 532 00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:27.920 to push this off on the supplier of the movie, who was a separate 533 00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:32.679 person who runs a business that supplies the weapons and which should have been dummy 534 00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:37.360 bullets, and they did have dummy bullets on set. But so basically the 535 00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.119 defense tried to point the finger at this person and basically said two By the 536 00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:47.400 time investigators got around to searching that person's store and their warehouse. That Yeah, 537 00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:52.559 the live rounds that were found at that guy's house or business didn't match 538 00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:54.360 the live rounds that were found on set. Well, too much time had 539 00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:58.199 elapsed. Nevertheless, it really didn't matter at the end of the day. 540 00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:02.559 Apparently the jurors didn't take too long to convince here that she was responsible certainly 541 00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:07.480 for the weapons on set and the ending result. And prosecutors basically said, 542 00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:09.760 you know, this is just a case of just negligence, and that it 543 00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:16.599 became such a case of negligence that it became willful in a way and foreseeable 544 00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:22.760 that this result could happen, and it did. Okay, And then she's 545 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:27.599 not the only one charged in this. Alec Baldwin, the actor who is 546 00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:32.800 the one who everybody except him says actually pulled the trigger on the set, 547 00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:39.199 is also facing charges. When does that start. Yeah, So he'll go 548 00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:45.679 into on trial in July on involuntary manslaughter as well. And now he has 549 00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:47.920 the advantage of seeing the road map here, right, this is going to 550 00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:52.320 be the same judge, same prosecutors, a lot of the same evidence you 551 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:54.440 have to imagine is going to be presented that was presented in this trial is 552 00:39:54.480 --> 00:40:00.320 going to be presented in his trial, but pointing different directions because at the 553 00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:05.400 same time the prosecutors were presenting this case against Hannagutierrez and her defense was trying 554 00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:08.679 to say, hey, it was the management's fault, people like Alec Baldwin, 555 00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:13.360 producers who are responsible for this and the safety of the set, not 556 00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:16.320 Hannah Gutierrez. At the same time, prosecutors are then having to say, 557 00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:20.559 well, no focus on hannahgutierres Alex Baldwin will have his day in court. 558 00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:22.360 Well in July. They're going to have to present a lot of that same 559 00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:25.719 evidence and say, well, now, Alex Baldwin was the person holding the 560 00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:30.559 gun, the gun went off, and he was a producer and therefore responsible. 561 00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:32.480 So it's interesting how a lot of the evidence is going to overlap here. 562 00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:36.519 Alex Baldin of course says he never pulled the trigger. He says he 563 00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:38.599 pulled the hammer back, but the gun went off, it wasn't his fault. 564 00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:43.039 He also is certainly going to argue he's not responsible for checking this. 565 00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:45.599 Hannah Gutierrez is the armorer. She's the one who should have made sure there 566 00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:50.559 were dummy bullets inside the gun. So he does have a roadmap here, 567 00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:53.559 but still facing the charges. Yeah, and Mark, does it appear that 568 00:40:54.320 --> 00:41:00.039 her conviction, that she's been convicted of involuntary man slaughterford neglige, that that 569 00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:07.039 will help his case? You know, it's a good question. I wonder 570 00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:09.440 whether or not they're going to be able to I don't know the answer to 571 00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:12.960 this, whether or not they're going to be able to actually say whether or 572 00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:15.719 not Hannah Gutiers was found guilty or not, because I don't know if that 573 00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:21.239 might prejudice against Alex bald Alex Baldwin, if you think about it, if 574 00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:23.559 the jury already knows that someone has been convicted, maybe that helps him. 575 00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:28.039 If the jury knows someone's already been convicted, maybe that doesn't. Maybe that 576 00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:30.920 will signal that, hey, there's enough here to say that something went wrong. 577 00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:34.920 I don't know the answer to that, whether or not. But you 578 00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:37.480 know, we'll have to see whether or not the court allows. What kind 579 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:42.000 of information the court allows to come into Alex Baldwin's trial in relation to Hannah 580 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:45.280 Gutierre's. All Right, Mark Gramallard, thank you so much for the information 581 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:47.360 and helping us sort things out. Thank you. All right, let's get 582 00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:50.840 back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news 583 00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:53.639 from the University of California seeing a surge in applications for fall of twenty twenty 584 00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:58.960 four. Data shows the UC system drew in a quarter million applications for fall 585 00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:01.800 semester. The first years are up nearly one and a half percent from last 586 00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:07.360 year, with increases at eight of nine undergraduate campuses. Transfer applications have grown 587 00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:12.440 by more than ten percent. Data also shows big gains in diversity, with 588 00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:16.880 black applicants having the strongest growth, followed by Latinos and Native Americans. Hawhite 589 00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:22.280 You. Governor Josh Green assigned the tenth Emergency Proclamation for the island of Maui. 590 00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.440 The governor says the latest declaration offers continued financial support from state and federal 591 00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:30.039 sources, and it helps expedite semi permanent housing for those who still need it. 592 00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:31.800 We lost one hundred and one of our loved ones in the fire. 593 00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:37.119 The lives of thousands more were changed forever as people were displaced. It was 594 00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:39.840 hurricane force winds that spread this fire across Maui, and it was the worst 595 00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:44.199 natural disaster we've ever had. Green says, nearly four thousand homes and buildings 596 00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:46.119 were destroyed, most of which were rentals. He says. Some amendments to 597 00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:51.480 the proclamation include the removal of price freezes for critical supplies. Steve Gregory, 598 00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:53.559 King of Finans. A jury's been seated in Michigan for the trial of a 599 00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:59.239 man whose teenage son killed four students in a school shooting. Prosecutors say James 600 00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:02.239 Crumbley not the gun his son used to kill classmates in twenty twenty one. 601 00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:07.320 The shooter's mother was found guilty last month of involuntary manslaughter. He's facing the 602 00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:12.000 same charges. The Crumblings are the first parents in the US to be charged 603 00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:15.679 over a mass shooting committed by their child.
