You're listening to a wake up call on demand from KF I am six forty
k F and kost H T two, Los Angeles, Orange County. Dad
agree, Yes, Amy King, this is your wake up call for Thursday,
September fourth. We're half not fourth September fourteenth, We're halfway through the
month already. I'm Amy King. Thanks for waking up with me this morning.
I hope you got your coffee, I got mine, got my oatmeal
ready to go. Hey, I got to do something kind of special at
Disneyland yesterday. I'm gonna be telling you about that in just a few minutes.
And the show's going to go out of this world today, So you're
not gonna want to go anywhere because we've got the one and only Neil de
grass Tyson coming on the show. That's coming up at five twenty. Here's
what's ahead on the wake up Call. Police have made an arrest in the
hit and run crashes involving three bicyclists in Huntington Beach. One of the bicyclists
was killed on Sunday night. The guy arrested is believed to be between fourteen
and sixteen years old. The CSU system has approved a plan to hike student
tuition six percent a year starting next year. That's more than three hundred dollars
a year for undergrads. More than two hundred passengers aboard a cruise ship that
ran aground and Greenland are going to be stuck there until at least tomorrow.
The Ocean Explorer ran aground in a remote part of Greenland Monday afternoons, so
they've been stuck there for a while and haven't had any luck getting them unstuck.
At six oh five, it's handle on the news that killer in Pennsylvania
back in custody in large part because of a K nine named Yoda. Let's
get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour
newsroom. Dozens of people in Whittier have had to leave their homes because of
a big gas leak. A woman who lives in the area on Vicki drives
his crews have been doing construction in the area. Some neighbors say they started
smelling gas yesterday afternoon. The mother of a baby found alone in a stroller
in LA's Larchmont village has been arrested on suspicion of child endangerment. The toddler,
about two to three years old, was found at about three in the
morning on Tuesday. Police say the mom's I D was in the stroller,
so they found out who she was and arrested her when she showed up for
work. Former La County Sheriff Alex vien Auava says he's going after Janis Han's
seat as chair of the La County Board of Supervisors. Vien Auava says Han
and other elected officials have let LA spiral out of control. They know that
career politicians are only going to ensure that continuous downward spiral. It's not going
to change. They created the problem and they're trying to sell you, Oh
yeah, we'll change, We'll do better next time. No, they're not
being away. Announced his campaign in Whittier yesterday, defending his stance that LA
was safer when he was sheriff. The Studio City Neighborhood Council has collapsed over
the board appointing a registered sex offender. The man was voted into the council
last month while two members were aware that he may have been convicted of rape
and had been paroled in twenty twenty one. Board member Kim Clement says she
was conflicted on how to handle the situation after being pressured by the city to
proceed. That was very difficult because only two of us going into the meeting
new and yet it was so new. It was just a complete shock and
disbelief, Clement said. Yesterday, most of the board members resigned after confirming
the new council members served thirteen years in prison for sexual assault Chris Adler KFI
News. The White House says the House impeachment inquiry targeting President Biden is a
move to prevent unhappy Republicans from removing Kevin McCarthy as speaker. Yeah, Matt
Gates as well threatened to ouse him as speaker if he didn't do it.
White House Press Secretary Karin Jeanpierre criticized McCarthy for not putting the impeachment inquiry up
for a vote in the House. She says some Republicans admit there's no evidence
President Biden profited from his son's business dealings. Caesar's Entertainment in Las Vegas is
reportedly paid about a half of a thirty million dollar ransom. Following a cyber
attack the Wall Street journalists, hackers pretended to be the IT department to have
a password changed. MGM Resorts also reported a cybersecurity issue Sunday that caused the
company to shut down slot machines, sports betting, kiosks, digital keys for
hotel rooms, online reservations, and credit card transactions. Well, that doesn't
sound like any fun in Las Vegas at all. Several toys are vying for
a spot in the National Toy Hall of Fame. The Strong National Museum of
Play in Rochester, New York, has announced this year's finalists for induction.
The list includes Bingo, Cabbage Patch Kids, Battleship You Sunk My Battleship,
Baseball Cards, Nerve Toy Slime, Teenage Mutant, Ninja Turtles, and Ken.
People can vote online for their favorite toys until September twentieth. The winning
toys will be announced in November. It's five or six on your wake up
call. Let's get right into it and say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy.
Stephen Hunter Biden is suing over his laptop. Tell us about this.
Yeah. The lawsuit is filed against him and named Garrett Ziegler and ten unnamed
co defendants. Filed in the Central District California, where you are. And
the lawsuit alledges that Garrett Ziegler and his co defendants violated state and federal computer
privacy laws by hacking into not just the laptop itself, but in particular the
encrypted iPhone backup that was stored on the laptop, and there are emails and
photographs that have since become public is Garrett Ziegler has been putting these materials on
his website for the last couple of years, and the lawsuit comes this week.
It's the same week the House Republicans are moving forward with what they're calling
an impeachment inquiry into the president. And the suggestion, of course, that
they're making is that the former president in some way benefited from his son's business
dealings in an untoward way, something that they've offered no specific evidence of,
other than in situations and intimations based on, in part some of the things
that were on the laptop. So Hunter Biden, it all becomes a bit
of a circle here. Hunter Biden is suing in civil court. He wants
a civil trial, he wants a jury to hear the case and to award
him damages. Can't they can they stop that dead in its tracks by saying
that Hunter dropped off that computer and signed the piece of paper saying, hey,
if I don't come pick it up, I surrendered the computer. It's
interesting because the lawsuit does not emphatically say that the laptop was Hunters. It
was something that you know, they say what they do. Yeah, it's
very strange. But what they are saying is encrypted iPhone backup was Hunters.
Right. So that's kind of the lane pin in it because the iPhone wasn't
the computer. It's a separate thing, but that was his and he didn't
turn that in. Well, it's the data really and the fact that an
action had to be taken to hack that data. They say that that's a
violation of California and federal computer privacy laws. That I mean, I listen,
I'm not an experts, says, you know, but that is the
argument that they're making. One argument that the defendant, Garret Ziegler's making is
that he's an author, and so he's essentially you read between the lines and
it makes some sort of a First Amendment defense that he had the right to
publish these things, that it was in the public interest, that there's some
sort of news gathering protection. Very interesting to see how it all plays out.
But the allegation is that Garrett Ziegler boasted about hacking into this encrypted file,
which is not easy to do. Oh, so he's said, hey,
I hacked into this, but it was on the computer that was surrendered,
but it was tied to an iPhone that wasn't surrendered. Maybe well,
I suppose, But the point is that it was the dad on the laptop,
but that the ideas it was it was itself, it was itself protected
or encrypted, and then they went in and hacked that. So one of
the things we should mention is that Garret Ziegler formerly served in the Trump White
House. He was an aide to Peter Navarro and Navarro was a trade advisor
and was said to be responsible for helping to bring Sydney Powell into the Oval
office in that now infamous December meeting where Sydney Powell started spouting things that even
the former president described as crazy about election interference and fraud. And so Sydney
Powell has not been sued multiple times and finds herself as one of the nineteen
co defendants in the Georgia election interference case. Okay, and I know you
gotta run. But Hunter Biden wants a jury trial. Isn't he like a
that's isn't he kind of a sketchy person in everybody's eyes? At this point,
that'll be up to a jury to weigh, a jury of Southern California's
by the way, look, this is the argument would be that the defendant
violated particular laws, and that will be the basis for the case to be
weighed. But at the same point, you know, we'll see what the
defense brings up. Never a dull moment. And I'm so glad you're here
to share all this with us, Stephen Port, and I thank you.
Yeah, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour news room. A teenager has been arrested for a fatal hit
and run crash that was part of a spree of side swipe attacks on bicyclists
in Huntington Beach. The suspect, it's a mill juvenile between the age of
fourteen and seventeen. Huntington Beach police is Jessica Kutilla, says. Investigators found
the black four door Sedan believed to be involved, which led to the arrest.
Juvenile was poked in the Orange County juvenilele on several counts, including homicide.
Investigators say call started coming in Sunday night of three attacks that appeared to
intentionally target bicyclists, all the sense it has happened within the hour in a
short distance from each other in Orange County. Corbin Carson k if I News.
A man from la is facing a minimum of ten years in prison for
illegally selling guns out of his Hookah lounge downtown Povac. De Gaussian admitted to
selling eleven guns out of his shop, which included ghost guns. US attorney's
Kiered macavoy says investigators executed a search worn at the hookah shop in twenty to
twenty one. During this search, they seized five point eight ounces of methamphetamine,
a digital scale, a two hundred and fifteen rounds of AMMO, and
many firearms he was willing to sell. One of them was a sought off
shotgun. Degaussian also admitted to selling metha is part of his plea yesterday.
He's set to be sentenced in January. Blake Trolley k if I News.
Bill Maher says his HBO show real time is returning this fall without Riders.
Mar says he loves his writers and is one of them, but he's not
prepared to lose an entire year and see so many below the line people suffer
so much. He added yesterday's segments like his monologue, desk piece, new

He says the show without Riders will not be as good, but the
heart of the show will continue. Bodies have been washing ashore in Libya days
after flooding killed at least six thousand people. The mayor of Derma, which
was especially hard hit, Sunday, says the death toll is still climbing.
ABC's Tom Sufi Burridge says nine thousand people are missing in the coastal city of
Dernah. Rescue is navigating through dense mud and tangle debris retrieving bodies. Drna
was destroyed when two dams burst because of a storm that caused waves twenty three
feet high to rush through the town and into the sea. Officials in a
neighboring coastal town say at dam there could also collapse and cause similar devastation and
Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney says he's not running for reelection. In twenty twenty
four, he said he would be in his mid eighties at the end of
a second six year Senate term. Romney was once governor of Massachusetts and ran
for president in twenty twelve. He's been criticized by some in his own party
for voting to convict President Trump at both of his Senate impeachment trials. Got
to do something at Disneyland that I haven't done before. I had a glass
of wine with my dinner. So Disneyland just recently started selling beer, wine
and specialty cocktails at more restaurants. So for decades, Disneyland was dry.
And that's fine, that's great. And in fact, while Disney apparently was
totally against having alcohol in the park, he told The Saturday Evening Post back
in nineteen fifty six, no liquor, no beer, nothing, because that
brings in a rowdy element that brings people we don't want and I feel they
don't need it. Well, apparently the people who are running Disney have changed
their tune a little bit. Ogus Cantina opened up in Galaxy's Edge, which
is star wars Land a couple of years ago, right after the pandemic,
and they started offering they started offering specialty cocktails, and then the Blue by
You, which is in New Orleans Square, also had like a hurricane that
you could get. But that was the only places aside from Club thirty through
which ninety nine percent of us can ever get into. But just yesterday or
actually not yesterday, but on Tuesday they started selling cocktails in Carnation Cafe,
river Belt Terrace and Cafe Orleans. So of course, since it's something new
at Disneyland, we had to go. And I took Nick Polyochini with me,
or he took me with him, one of the two, and we
went and had a lovely dinner and I had a glass of wine and Brian
had a hurricane Pims hurricane and it was kind of cool. I mean,
it's a little bit weird because you feel like you're doing something bad, like
sneaking alcohol into Disneyland or something. But it was good and so it's available.
It's not for walk around, it's just when you sit down, but
a new feature for you to enjoy at Disneyland next time you go to visit.
And for me that's going to be tomorrow, Okay. Right now,
I am absolutely thrilled to say good morning to astrophysicist and best selling author and
well all around smart guy Neil deGrasse Tyson. Good morning, Neil, good
morning, good morning. Thank you so much for coming on early this morning
with us. So Neil's on with us because he has a new book out
about the Cosmos and beyond. It's about real science versus basically what we see
in TV and movies. And before we jump in, Neil, I want
to just say that when I hear you talk, I realized how incredibly smart
you are and how much you know. But you always talk to us in
a way that my brain can understand. And I appreciate that because you know,
you talk to really smart people sometimes and they talk in these technical terms
you don't get, and you have a way of breaking through and talking to
me. So I appreciate the dif lecturing and communicating. I think that's that's
that's all it is. So I can face the chalkboard and have you tried
to meet me ninety percent of the way of where I am, Well,
I can face you and meet you ninety percent other way towards you and that's
that's that's my goal and if I achieve that, then that's a good day
for me as an educator. Well, I think you have. So you
have this new book called Infinity to Infinity and Beyond and again in the meeting
me on my side, it's illustrated, so there's there are some fistic pictures
in here. So I read the pictures last night, and okay, you
have some of stuff from like the Hubble Space telescope, or not from Hubble,
from the James Webbs telescope. Thank web All the latest stuff is in
there. So the book has attempts to take the reader on a journey of
mind and spirit from the time when we're just standing on Earth looking up,
wondering how would you ever get to the move just I could imagine five hundred
years ago looking up? Do you just ascend? Does air continue from Earth
already to the moon if you have a balloon, But balloons were kind of
a latter day thing, right, so you have to learn that hot air
rises and so it tracks. Thanks. So for example, the first aero
knots was a sheep, a duck and a rooster. They were sent up
in a balloon like what was that? And they just how hard did they
get? Well? So, yeah, so it's not safe if you keep
going too high up. And I feel sorry for the sheep because had that
experiment failed, the duck and the rooster still had a chance of surviving coming
down back to earth. But you you get a sense of are certain dreams
you have impossible? They're reel in your head, but they can't happen until
more science and technology and engineering arrived. And so we also follow the fits
and starts and the mistakes, and when we can, we analogize if there's
scenery that we pass along the way. And these are movies that have attempted
to portray some aspect of the science that we talk about, and then we'll
tell you if the movie got it right or wrong. And because movies formed
part of the pop culture dimension of the communicating there's science, humor, empop
culture, which is the three DNA strands of my podcast which is called start
Talk. And this is a book in the in the Start Talk tradition.
Well, I love that you were talking about that kind of marriage between art
and science because I see a lot of movies and I go or you see
some science that's coming out and you go, god, I saw that in
a movie like twenty years ago. How did they know? So, like,
what's a good example. I know that you you said something about gravity
and Sandra Bullock, oh yeah, so just you know when we talk about
how do you escape gravity? You know, I referenced the movie, the
movie Gravity, right, which has Sandra Bullock and handsome man leading man.
Let's say good George Clooney, thank you and so so I first, I
think the movie should have been called zero Gravity because the whole movie is in
zero gravity. And they did some very good things, all right. You
know, when you burn a candle, a candle just keeps burning. You
know why the hot air rises and it brings in new oxygen. They showed
correctly in that movie a flame that extinguished itself because it beats up the oxygen.
The warm air doesn't know to rise, and then the absence of oxygen
extinguishes the flame. They got so much right, but I had to call
him out. How is it that Sandra bullets bangs always knew which way down
was? Their hair wasn't floating in the zero G that their hair knew?
Okay, so, but it's fun to point this out because we all have.
Many people have seen the movie or other movies. Talk about Back to
the Future, talk about the movie The Martian, talk about the Hulk.
When we talk about the density of things and air, it's odd that the
Hulk could start out just as a little person and it become a big person.
Did he just sort of swallow up? And if you did, he
would have the density of a beach ball, and Augusta Wynn would just blow
him around and we just pop him. He still had but right exacts at
of that. So so if you if, if, if the Hulk actually
has masks, when did you get the extra masks from? You had to
get it from the energy in the environment. He equals mc squared, and
then he would suck all the energy out of his sector of the world,
and then there's no no one to fight and there's no battles. But the
biggest question is how can his shorts still fit him when he gets big.
I don't never understood that. I've always wondered that. Yeah, okay,
so and I was, I was, I was looking through the book and
I will tell you I stayed up too late last night because I was trying
to cram this in because unfortunately I didn't get it in time to read cover
to cover. But I got some questions for you, and one of the
big ones that I've always wondered, and you were the perfect person to ask.
This is when we go up into space. Because you have a whole
sex and on rockets and leaving the atmosphere and that kind of stuff. How
come we can't just go on a plane and just go up to elevation and
break out of the atmosphere. Why do we have to go on a rocket
straight up like that? Oh? Yeah, yeah, Two very important reasons.
First, airplanes work because they're combining the oxygen of the air with the
fuel in their fuel tanks to create some form of combustion, right, So
they're they're air breathing, right, They need the air to run their engines.
When you get to very high in the atmosphere, the air gets thinner
and thinner, there's less and less oxygen. You need a whole different kind
of fuel system in order to get around. So another way, you have
to bring your own oxygen oxidizers. They're called Okay, so if we were
flying in a plane, So if you were in a plane and you just
kept going higher and higher. Eventually it wouldn't work anymore because you don't have
the oxygen. So not only if you don't have the oxygen, the air
stays aloft because of the buoyancy. That the buoyancy because of the there's air
pressing up underneath the wings that keeps it flying. Okay. So that's the
weird thing. Like in Apollo eleven that the lundar module is called the eagle,
right, and it shows this eagle landing. Well, an eagle on
the Moon would fall like a brick because the eagle has wings that need air,
right, So you need the air to hold you up, and you
need the oxygen in the air to burn your engines, and you have neither
of that in the very highest altitudes, so you need what you call a
rocket. And there it is. Okay, all right, here's another one
because you have a section on Mars and terraforming Mars and you have these fabulous
photos and so it made me think of again a movie Total Recall where they're
on Mars and they're trying to keep the people from getting the oxygen. So
could Mars become habitable with the release of water if they found it? Yeah,
So we think there's water. That's a great question. We think there
is water on Mars. Well, we have evidence that it was once liquid
running water on the Martian surface. If you look at it, everything's dry,
but they're me hindering river beds, liver Delta's blood plains, all the
all the telltale evidence that Mars was once a liquid planet and it's all gone
today. So we should try to figure out how it lost all of those
water in case there's some knob we're turning here on Earth that could give us
the same fate. We think maybe it went down into permafrost. So,
and the Martian atmosphere is very very thin, one percent that of Earth.
So we had to reference the movie The Martian, where does a dust storm
gets rocking their spaceship and they give up Mark Wotney for dead because they have
to take off because they don't. They all die. But what they don't
tell you is the adversary is so thin that one hundred mile an hour winds
would be like a gentle grief. It would not have rocked, It would
not have rocked the ship. So we were off there. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I told it him. He said, well, yeah,
and I'll give him a haul pass on that because you've got so much other
science. Correct. So yeah, if you want to TeleForm it, you
have to put microbes in the soils that can naturally produce some oxygen, so
you have to work that. But if you TeleForm Mars, you can fly
there, walk off your space ship without a space suit, and then we'd
have two planets to live on. That could be cool. Wouldn't that be
cool? Okay? Then my last question, because and I could ask you
one hundreds of them, but do you also have this really cool picture.
It's a conceptual picture of a ship that's outfitted with everything you would need to
take a deep trek into space. So is long term space travel actually something
that we could eventually do? Is it realistic? Okay? If the image
you're referring to as the one I'm thinking of, that's a generational ship because
to get to the nearest star on our fastest rockets would take fifty thousand years,
so you'll be dead. So what you need to do in a generational
ship is get a bunch of very fertile people, put them on, they
make babies, they get old and die. The babies get old and everybody's
making babies for a thousand generations and then you arrive at your destination. But
I'd rather wait around for like warp drops. I know right, he's doing
me, Okay, so we'll wait until start predestined. Yeah, I don't
want to predestine the next generation to follow my dreams. When in a free
society, they should be able to choose not to go on a generational ship.
Okay. And wouldn't you be mad if you went on a generational ship
and then they discovered warp speed. So you're out in the middle of space
somewhere and then a ship goes and passes you. Oh yeah, I would
be so pissed off exactly. Oh my gosh. It's a part of what
it is to make the future real. Like you were saying, you see
things in a sci fia movie, it gives your ideas that to try to
reach forty reach for the stars in new and innovative ways. And that's what
the entire book is about, and it from what I've read of it,
Neil, it is so fascinating and I wish we had like tons more time
to talk to you. Neil deGrasse Tyson, the author of Too Infinity and
Beyond, and did you know that there was actually thoughts at one point that
there was actually a vulcan like a real planet. But that's another discussion.
I'm yeah, that's a whole other thing. Yeah, it's a whole other
thing. All right. Thank you so much for your time. You can
get too Infinity and beyond. I would imagine about everywhere everywhere. Okay,
and your podcast is Star talk O, Start Talk, Start Talk. Yeah,
that's exactly. Well, you get the book everywhere except for space.
You have to get it on Earth. Oh okay, good clarification. Thank
you again for your time this morning. Oh my gosh, thanks for having
me. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Police
have made an arrest in the hit and run crashes involving three bicyclists in Huntington
Beach. One of the cyclists was killed on Sunday night. The guy arrested
is believed to be between fourteen and sixteen years old. The CSU system has
approved a plan to hike student tuition six percent a year starting next year,
and President Biden's SUN has sued a former Trump staffer, claiming in his federal
court filing in LA that Garrett Ziegler illegally got into Hunter's laptop and stole information
at six oh five. It's handled on the news. Burbank's mayors put himself
in an interesting situation, one that has gotten eight million views on social media.
But guess what time it is? So what am I on? I'm
on streaming shows, movies, TV shows. Of course, there are a
new TV shows right now because of the Stern and a recent survey show that
forty one percent of people ask for the opinion of friends and family when they
decide what shows to watch. And there are so many shows out there.
Hopefully I can help you navigate through it a little bit. I can be
on books too, and I'm going to recommend to Infinity and Beyond. This
book is fascinating. But for as far as streaming shows, this week,
I want to tell you about a show on Prime Video. It's called Lions,
stars Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman and a couple other faces you'll recognize.
It's based on a real group of CIA operatives called Lioness's. So there's military
operations going on in Syria. It focuses on the war on Terror. There
is an operative whose cover is blown and then they have to deal with that
situation. So it's all very spy stuff, but it's always seld Ona recruits
somebody to come in and help them out, and basically this woman comes to
join the operation to get close to somebody in Syria who's like a terror or
related to a terrorist, and it follows the story of how she gets in
with the woman, how she puts herself in danger. You know, she's
she's CIA, so if she gets in trouble while she's out in the field,
she's kind of on her own. And they've got the people back at
the Pentagon and in the US trying to protect them, and you know,
like what lengths will they go to to accomplish their mission. So, as
I mentioned, it's based on a real life CIA program and all the women
are Marines and they're called the Lionesses. So it's the full series is out
or the full season is out. I think it was good. I don't
think it was great. I have a friend Debbie, who was like,
I can't stop watching it, and so she loved it. I thought it
was good, but not great, but I think it's worth Again, it's
a streaming, it's a streaming series, and the full series is now out.
I had to do that week by week waiting for it to come out,
and that drives me crazy. But it was really it was worth a
watch. So it's called The Lioness. It's on Prime Video and give it
a look and let me know what you think. You can always send me
a note at Amy K King on Instagram. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four newsroom. Lawyers say the Merino
Valley School District will pay the largest bullying settlement in US history. It's better
be a wake up call for schools. Lawyer David Ring says the twenty seven
million dollars settlement goes to the family of Diego Stultz, who reported bullying assaults
several times and was promised the boys would be suspended in twenty nineteen, but
three days later, two boys sucker punched him. They knocked him into a
concrete pillar. He had massive brain injury and never regained consciousness and died nine
days later. Ring says the hope is more schools will strengthen and enforce bullying
policy. Marino Valley School District declined to comment. Corbin Carson. Kf I

expert Brad Garrett. Brad, we've talked recently about how we are fascinated by
prison breaks like Daniello, Caldvalcante, and you were right. But now we've
got him back. So why did it take so long? So Amy,
let's start at the beginning. Okay, he escaped and no one saw him.
You think if you go back to May, a guy escaped, mister
Bolt escaped the same way, but he was spotted in the prison yard.
They caught him in less than ten minutes. I don't know if there's nobody
in the tower. The short answer is nobody saw him leave. He went
up the same wall. I think crab walked up the same wall that both
did, worked his way through additional razor wire. I don't know how you
do that, but he did it, and it got over the wall and
kept going. It was over an hour before they knew he was caught.
Seem to start with that big disadvantage for law enforcement. So if you combine,
then it takes quite a while to pull together all the tax teams,
dogs, helicopters, planes. You know, he's moving along Cavalcanti and he
has the advantage. It appears, based on an interview with his mother that
he had spent time in the Brazilian savannah and knew how to move around it,
apparently at night. That's a big plus because the ability to work in
or maneuver yourself in remote areas. Think Eric Rudolf several years ago. He
stayed in the woods for years before we caught him. The Olympic bomber.
Yes, okay, the Olympic bomber. And so I'm just sharing that with
the ability if you were able to secrete yourself without lighting and moving around,
it makes it tougher to catch you. And you add forest undergrowth, one
hundred degree temperature, I've had all that equipment on before. It's not fun
when it's a hundred degrees and you're trying to track through woods. So it's
a combination of all of those things that slowed them down, and Cavalcanti was
just able to basically elude them, sort of stay generally speaking, outside their
perimeter or close to outside their perimeter, and kept moving until really two things
happened. What catches fugitives are desperateness and timely reporting when they do something.
He got desperate, apparently walked into a garage, grabbed a rifle, got
shot at, took the rifle, attempted to burglarize a house, and law
enforcement happened to be close when that house burglary occurred. They set up immediately.
They put a plane up. They got thermal imaging of a person they
thought was him. They started to move closer, the weather went bad on
them, they had to take the plane away. They brought the plane back
in the morning yesterday morning, got the same thermal imaging, and so they
were able, through surprise, I think, to encircle him, and once
I assume where they were there, he starts to crawl away with a rifle.
They turned the dog loose, and let me tell you, that would
not be a pleasant experience. You're not going to go for the rifle.
You're gonna go for your leg, your head, your arm, wherever the
dog has grabbed you. And they were able them to take him into custody,
So it doesn't surprise me. It took two weeks, but I felt
pretty confident, as they told you to laugh week, yeah, that it
would happen. Yeah, well, I'm glad that they got him and thank
thank god for Yoda that's the name of the canine unit that and grabbed him.
So yeah, thanks, thanks Brat, And you were right when we
talked last week. We were talking about how we get fascinated by this is
when we've got this information. Yesterday it was just like, okay, what
happened. What happened? Well, what are they doing now? And where
did they get him? And you know, like we just were craving information.
So it's just fascinating. And again, I like we talked about,
I think it's going to be a TV movie. It's got to be because
it's just fastiniled out. Yeah all right, Brad Garrett, thank you so
much for your time this morning. I appreciate it. You're welcome to take
care of Ami. Take care Hey, Dancing with the Stars has unveiled its
