Karen Lombardo was 10 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.920 found unconscious in her home Tuesday night. Her adult son was arrested after police 11 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.479 say they determined there had been some sort of fight at the home on North 12 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.000 Avon Street. Lombardo's son is being held on two million dollars bail. The 13 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.280 first shipment of aid to the US built floating pier in Gaza has departed from 14 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.400 Cyprus. Once it arrives, it'll be offloaded and delivered to Palestinians in Gaza. 15 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.879 President Biden gave the order to build the large floating platform off the coast 16 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.799 of Gaza. Two months ago, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Green's plan to 17 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.200 remove House Speaker Mike Johnson has failed. She wants Johnson out because of the 18 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:37.280 ninety five billion dollar foreign aid bill that did not include border security.

President Biden says he'll stop 32 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:35.680 sending bombs to Israel if the IVF goes in to Rafa. Let's get started 33 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.639 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 34 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.319 A fire has destroyed more than a dozen motor homes at Mike Thompson's RV in 35 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:49.159 Santa Fe Springs. Battalion Chief Victor Marin says the fire started around the same 36 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.199 time a burglar went off or a burglar alarm went off at the dealership overnight. 37 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.120 The RVY trailers quickly catch fire. There obviously part close together, so 38 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.800 it was putting off a good small ketter and there was visible flames. Several 39 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.240 explosions could be heard. A person was seen on security video, but the 40 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.599 lot manager says the video video wasn't very clear. What do your police say? 41 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:14.599 When officers got there, they noticed the vehicles on fire. The guy 42 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:19.360 arrested for having an assault rifle at UC Riverside is a member of the school's 43 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.199 police department. University officials say twenty two year old Christopher Kim's part of the 44 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:28.000 department's civilian Unarmed Highlander Safety Team, which does campus patrols and event security. 45 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.319 A Monday night, Kim was arrested at his apartment, where investigators say they 46 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.800 found weapons and a notebook with a drawing of a person shooting a rifle at 47 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.759 another person with a crowd of onlookers. Kim told detectives the drawings were just 48 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.039 doodles. The investigation began after an unused rifle cartridge was found and an on 49 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.800 campus apartment complex. Steve Corregor a Kaya Fine News, the ex interpreter for 50 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:52.919 the Dodgers, Shohei Otani, has agreed to plead guilty to two federal charges 51 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:58.879 for the theft of nearly seventeen million dollars from Otani's bank account. Ipe Misahara 52 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.439 allegedly used them I need to pay off illegal gambling debts. Zahara was supposed 53 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:08.319 to be in federal court in La yes today, but that's been rescheduled for 54 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.319 next week. The US Attorney's office says Misahara is looking at more than thirty 55 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.680 years in federal prison under the Plea deal. The Ghost Safely PCH campaign has 56 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.639 kicked off, reminding drivers to slow down on the highway through Malibu. More 57 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:25.279 than fifty people have been killed on PCCh since twenty ten, and officials say 58 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.480 one death is one death too many. Cal Trans director Tony Tabari says cal 59 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.480 Trans has already put more than four million dollars towards improvements along the highway to 60 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:40.120 warn drivers to slow down, enhance crosswalks to add visibility to pedestrians crossing the 61 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:44.680 PCH. HP said yesterday it has issued more than twelve hundred traffic violations on 62 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.240 PCH since January, and ninety percent were for speeding. Local official state of 63 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:53.199 drivers, Life's a beach, not a race, and better slow than sorry. 64 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.040 Chris Adler, KFI News. Right now, let's say good morning to 65 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.800 ABC's Steven Portnoy. Stephen. A couple big things happened yesterday on Capitol Hill. 66 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.000 One in the House, one in the Senate. First the House, 67 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:08.439 Marjorie Taylor Green made good on a threat to introduce emotion to vacate. Tell 68 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.480 us what happened, Well, it failed, and that's the bottom line. 69 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.199 I mean, look Marjorie Taylergreen went to the House floor and she called the 70 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.639 question. She demanded a vote on emotion to vacate the speaker. There was 71 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.399 a motion to table that vote, and that's what prevailed. So one hundred 72 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:28.720 and ninety six Republicans and one hundred and sixty three Democrats teamed up to essentially 73 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:32.319 say no thanks to Marjorie Taillergreen's effort to throw the House into chaos. And 74 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:39.000 that's the end of the story. You only had eleven Republicans voting to upset 75 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:44.480 the Speaker and topple him from office ultimately or at least allow for that to 76 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.040 happen. And they stand alone there now on an island. And so the 77 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.519 question will be, all right, well, well, you know, will 78 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:55.120 there be any kind of ramifications or retribution undertaken by Speaker Johnson or is this 79 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.639 sort of a moment that everyone can move past. I think it's interesting that 80 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.959 you had Donald Trump come out against Marjorie Taylor Green's effort, saying that this 81 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:09.360 unity would be viewed as chaos and it would disrupt everything that Republicans are trying 82 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:14.279 to do, including win in November. And so Marjorie Taylor Greens had her 83 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:18.560 stand. The questions, will she tried again? Will Democrats continue to object 84 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.240 as they did yesterday saving Mike Johnson's speakership. These are the lingering questions, 85 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.720 and one hundred and sixty three Democrats said no, thank you, which is 86 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:32.079 completely different from when they were getting rid of McCarthy. There is a reservoir 87 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.399 of goodwill that Mike Johnson has with Democrats. Over the last several months, 88 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:42.399 He's put on the floor bills that have passed on a bipartisan basis that have 89 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:49.399 avoided government shutdowns and funded the president's foreign policy requests and priorities, including money 90 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:56.920 for Ukraine, that most Republicans would have opposed. And so Democrats saw that 91 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.360 as a courageous thing, and so therefore they came to his rescue that well, 92 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.680 how long will that last? We'll see. But Marthoe Taylor Green for 93 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:10.279 the moment has been met with bipartisan opposition. So is this just a big, 94 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.000 huge embarrassment for her? Do they? I mean, I don't know 95 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.720 that. You have to wonder what degree anyone's capable of being embarrassed in our 96 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.839 politics today? True? And I say that because at the end of the 97 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.759 day, she is trying to make this argument. She did it on the 98 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:28.360 floor yesterday. There's this uniparty, this cabal of Republicans and Democrats teaming up 99 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.120 to oppose the real and genuine interests of the American people. How it is 100 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.680 that the general lady from Georgia has been on or on her own able to 101 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.279 divine the interests of the American people in the face of three hundred and fifty 102 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.120 nine of her colleagues. Is for her to explain. She's got her argument, 103 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.319 she intends to make it, and this is all part of it. 104 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.480 So as long as she can continue to convince however, many people are giving 105 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.879 her money at attention, well then she'll continue to hold forth the way that 106 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.000 she does. But look, there are certain things that the Speaker could do. 107 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.600 I'm not sure he's necessarily willing to do them, but you know, 108 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.480 the Speaker wields enormous authority, and when he has the support of nearly all 109 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:11.759 of his colleagues, he can seek to put backbench members in, you know, 110 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.759 essentially isolate them, strip them of their committee posts. The question is 111 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.720 how much power and leverage do they continue to have while the motion to vacate 112 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.199 can still be made by a single member, and that is that weapon that 113 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.920 Margie Teller Green used yesterday and until unless that weapon is neutralized, it will 114 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.279 continue to be a threat to this, to this in any speaker. Okay, 115 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.159 I know we only have you for about thirty seconds more. But over 116 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.600 in the Senate, Minority Leader McConnell reacted to President Biden's announcement that pauses a 117 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.720 shipment of AMMO to Israel. Yeah, I mean, look, and Republicans, 118 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.919 I think Mitch McConnell is the leader of the Republicans and the Senate side, 119 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.720 and he was the most one of the most outspoken members. But frankly, 120 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:54.440 it's Republican opposition to what the administration announced yesterday pausing weapon shipments to Israel. 121 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.559 The President yesterday threatened to go further. He says, if Israel goes 122 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.639 into quote, they're not going to get our support. He says, we're 123 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:07.440 not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells used. And that's a significant 124 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:09.879 shift for President Biden. Okay, and I don't know if this is a 125 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.799 yes or no, but the bill's been passed to give the billions to Israel. 126 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.240 Can Biden stop it? The answer is complicated, but generally the president 127 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:26.080 has great authority to slow walk, if not cancel weapons shipments. All right, 128 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.799 Steven Portenoy, thanks so much, appreciate it, you bet. Let's 129 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.039 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four our 130 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.799 newsroom. A long time kindergarten teacher in Burbank has been killed. Police have 131 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.279 arrested her twenty five year old son. People who knew her paid tribute to 132 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.919 fifty seven year old Karen Lombardo last night. She cared some deeply about her 133 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.320 students, and they came first, but not before her own children, and 134 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:52.639 the world is missing out on such a great human. Lombardo worked at Brett 135 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.480 Hart Elementary School for more than thirty years. She was found dead in her 136 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.559 home Tuesday night. Detectives are only saying Lombardo was killed during some sort of 137 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.720 altercation with her son k He's doing court today and OC Fire Authority firefighters pleaded 138 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.960 not guilty to killing a man during a hit and run in Dana point O. 139 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.960 C District Attorney spokeswoman Kimberly Eds says Jeffrey Graysinger's car can be seen on 140 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.759 video applying the brakes but then driving off, leaving a man to die on 141 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.840 the street. Despite being indicted by a grand jury on a case where he 142 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.879 was involved in a hit and run that killed a human being, He's been 143 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.919 allowed to continue to work and serve the public. Ed says the crash last 144 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.000 year caused the man to go airborne and eventually land on his head. Grassinger's 145 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.720 lawyer said yesterday, this is a thirteen year veteran firefighter who saves lives and 146 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.480 has done nothing wrong.

Over at Monterey Park, 171 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.320 they have playdays, carnival and a party every year running actually today all 172 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.080 the way straight on through Sunday, and that's happening at Bonds Park in Monterey 173 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.720 Park and it's free ninety nine so you can go out and enjoy love of 174 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.679 live music, carnival with rides and stuff. Yes indeed, so it's a 175 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.039 beer garden carnival with rides and they have live concerts which is kind of fun. 176 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.600 So it kind of wraps up your sink of the Mayo celebrations from last 177 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.039 weekend, and then it's going into the celebration of API Heritage Month, so 178 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:45.159 they'll be having tributes to Asian American Pacific Islander on Sunday, so it'll be 179 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.159 lots of food. If you're saying, Gabriel Valley is a great opportunity for 180 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.600 you to enjoy some really unique cultures and so that's a lot of fun and 181 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.480 that's being put on by the Parks and rec system. And then the pana 182 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.639 Ampiesta in a Lakewood which is not too far from me, So that's pretty 183 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.200 much a similar idea what we just talked about with the Monterey Park. But 184 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:07.919 it's something that happens to celebrate the Pan American experience for North Americans and pretty 185 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.440 much countries of the Americas if you will. So lots of food for you 186 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.840 there, carnival rides again it is free ninety and to get in. Obviously 187 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.879 had to pay for those carnival rides and for the food. But it's a 188 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.720 great opportunity because weather's supposed to be good this weekend, right, Yeah, 189 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.919 absolutely, it's going to be perfect.

USC's Faculty Senate has censured President Carol Fuld and Provost 200 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.120 Andrew Guzband, saying both mishandled the pro Palestinian protests on campus and also for 201 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.159 the cancelation of the main commencement ceremony. The Senate voted by a three to 202 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.360 one margin in favor of the censure. The Academic Senate also called for the 203 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.159 creation of a task force to investigate the decisions made by administrators surrounding the commencement 204 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:37.320 cancelation and the protests. A SpaceX rocket launch from Santa Barbara County, East 205 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:43.240 Coast has been pushed back until tonight. Eight twenty pm is when the launch 206 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.679 window opens the SpaceX rocket. It is scheduled to launch from Vandenberg's Space Force 207 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:54.440 Space with Starlink satellites on board. Somebody else who's going to be launching into 208 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.080 space is Colonel Nick Haig. We're going to be talking to him in about 209 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.519 half an hour. It's going to give us the latest on his training as 210 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.120 he gets ready to head to the International Space Station At six so five it's 211 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:11.840 handled on the news. A group of protesters arrested at UCLA on Monday came 212 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.080 prepared to take over a building with ropes, bolt cutters, and chains. 213 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:24.600 Okay, do you like to speed? I won't kno a little bit. 214 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.720 I used to. Oh, but now that you've got a new baby, 215 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.960 you slowed down that and the multiple tickets I got when I was younger. 216 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.320 Okay, so then I'm gonna ask you what kind of car do you drive? 217 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.759 Well, what I was I didn't have the typical speeding car. It 218 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.759 was. It was like a nicer version of a Hyundai back in the day. 219 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.480 I got like, O don't know, it seemed fancy and I felt 220 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.480 like I was a young guy in a fancier car. So I got pulled 221 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:56.720 over. Okay, so Hyundai is one of the is the tenth highest, 222 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:02.000 Let's see, how do I say this? It's on the list of the 223 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:07.240 vehicle makes and models that get speeding tickets. So apparently remember like it used 224 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.360 to be, hey, if you drive a red car, you're gonna get 225 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.799 ticketed. Well, now they're saying it may be the type of car that 226 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:22.679 you drive. So the ten most ticketed car models are Infinity Psion, Volkswagen, 227 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:30.320 Subaru, Mazda, Audi, Kia, Honda, BMW and Hyundai and 228 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:36.799 the electric BMW I three speeds the most. Those those are the speeders. 229 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:42.399 Seventeen and a half percent of its drivers have speeding tickets on their records. 230 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:45.480 Interesting, right, so it's not the color, it's the kind of car, 231 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.799 and you've got that weird look on your face always following it was not 232 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:56.279 exactly the model, but like like a Honda, I wouldn't say, like, 233 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:57.559 aw, Honda speed, but if I see a Civic, I'm like, 234 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.200 oh, well, you're probably gonna try to test that baby out. 235 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:07.039 Okay, Well, so this Insurify survey says it might be that the speeders 236 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:15.200 are choosing zippier cars with powerful engines rather than the cars tempting otherwise safe drivers 237 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.400 to put the pedal to the metal. So if you're the kind that are 238 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.880 going for the zippy car, you're more likely to zip and get that speeding 239 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.960 ticket. There are three brands of cars that get the least speeding tickets. 240 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:33.319 Cadillac, yeah, my dad had one of those, Tesla and Volvo. 241 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.240 Volvo is known for safety, so maybe less speedy, right, just a 242 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.400 thought. Okay, So yesterday. I'm this was such a cute story and 243 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:48.839 also just makes me really grumpy. But yesterday there was somebody riding on the 244 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:53.319 Metro Sea Line train, the Green Line, and they found a month old 245 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:59.200 kitten, so of course they took it in. They gave it to the 246 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:03.920 conductors and they turned it over to Metro, who turned it over to SPCLA, 247 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:10.519 and they named this beautiful little cat Eloise. She's been taken into the 248 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:14.079 South Bay Pet Adoption Center in Hawthorne. She's been checked out by the medical 249 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:17.559 staff. She's in good condition and she's adorable. And in fact, I 250 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:18.839 know Michelle put it up on our website, so if you want to see 251 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:23.799 it at kfiam six forty dot com you can see little Eloise. She's in 252 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.519 foster care now and she's gonna have to be there for about four more weeks 253 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:33.039 because she's still so young, and then she she'll be up for adoption after 254 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.240 that. She is about a pound right now, mostly white tabby with three 255 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:44.039 gray dots on her coat. And yeah, thank you to Metro for doing 256 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:48.000 something lovely, and for that rider who puts a kitten and leaves a kitten 257 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:49.720 on a train. Maybe they had a box of them, and one of 258 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.559 them got out. I don't know, but anyway, little Eloise is in 259 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:59.839 good hands now and hopefully she'll have her new forever home soon. Here's some 260 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.119 thing that you must be listening to. You listen to Amy's on it. 261 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.200 I know, because remember we talked about Fallout a couple of weeks ago. 262 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:14.599 It's a hit. Amazon's new streaming series based on the video game has been 263 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.200 seen by sixty five million viewers, and that was in the first sixteen days 264 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:21.960 it was available. I think we talked about it on like day four or 265 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.440 five. It makes it the second most title ever on the platform and the 266 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.119 most watched since twenty twenty two. If you haven't seen, Fallout, is 267 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:33.279 really good. The son of a fifty seven year old teacher in Burbank's been 268 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.440 arrested in connection with the murder of his mother. Karen Lombardo, was found 269 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.519 unconscious that her home Tuesday night. Her adult son was arrested after police say 270 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.559 they determined there had been some sort of fight at the home. Lombardo's son 271 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.799 is being held on two million dollars bail. Severe storms have torn through the 272 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:56.359 central and southeast US. Tornadoes, large hail, and high winds moved through, 273 00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.559 killing two people in Tennessee, including a twenty two year old who was 274 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:02.920 in a car hit by a falling tree. Another person was killed in North 275 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:07.079 Carolina. Orange County has seen a twenty eight percent increase in homeless people in 276 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.640 the last two years. More than seventy three hundred people are homeless in OC. 277 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.799 That's seven percent higher than in twenty nineteen before the pandemic. County officials 278 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:22.599 say they're encouraged that Orange County's rate of increase is less than that in neighboring 279 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.160 counties and the state as a whole at six ZHO five. It's handle on 280 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:33.240 the news. Representative Marjorie Taylor Green tried and failed to oust the Speaker of 281 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.880 the House. This week, wake Up Call is going out and about to 282 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:38.880 the Natural History Museum. This could be a really cool thing for you to 283 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:42.759 do with your mom or your kids for Mother's Day. Now, last time 284 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:48.119 we visited the Natural History Museum, it was much more creepy Crawley because it 285 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:53.519 was the spider Pavilion, But now it has transformed into the Butterfly Pavilion with 286 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.920 butterflies kind of fluttering all around us. We got to catch up with the 287 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:02.240 program manager of Living in Vert BRIT's Lisa Gonzalez, who I call the bug 288 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.839 Lady because she loves and knows tons about bugs. So, Lisa, what 289 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.839 are people going to see when they come out to the butterfly pavilion. You're 290 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.799 going to see a lot of butterflies that are just really jazzed up. They're 291 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.599 super excited with this weather. They're chasing each other. We've got some malachite 292 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.839 butterflies behind us that are chasing each other. So that's probably a male chasing 293 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.640 a female. So you got to get a little love and going, hey, 294 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.400 that is their main goal. Okay, once they're an adult and they 295 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.279 have wings, it's all about mating and laying eggs, so you're going to 296 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.119 see a lot of those mating behaviors going on. Oh, there's a morpho 297 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.200 or an owl. Actually, this is ol butterfly that's about to fly by. 298 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:41.799 This is actually really cool because ol butterflies tend to be more active early 299 00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.640 in the day and then later on in the day, so seeing an owl 300 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.640 butterfly flying around in the middle of the day is pretty spectacular. That's the 301 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:51.759 largest butterfly that we have. He's huge. What's his wingspan like six inches 302 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:55.839 about yeah big, yeah, oh there is and now he just landed. 303 00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.000 He's like that was a lot of exercise. And because of the big eyes, 304 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.559 because of the big eye exactly. So if they're sitting still and both 305 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.680 wings are open, you would see those eye spots on both both wings, 306 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:11.759 and so it does look like an outface and that helps to deter potential predators 307 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.039 of something's like checking out and trying to figure out if it's something that it 308 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.839 could eat. And then it thinks it's a big predatory bird or just some 309 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:19.319 big animal, it's gonna think twice a much. Okay, So you've got 310 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:23.000 big butterflies and little butterflies, and do you have monarch butterflies in here? 311 00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.319 We absolutely have monarch butterflies in here, and we have the whole life cycle 312 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.400 going on right now, which is really exciting. So we have different species 313 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.960 of milkweed growing in here, which is their host plant. Yeah, and 314 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.720 we have some really tiny little caterpillars that just hatched we think maybe just a 315 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:40.079 few days ago. That's when we first noticed them. So we have the 316 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:41.920 full life cycle of the monarch butterfly going on in here. Okay, and 317 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.759 then the big, beautiful blue ones that are flying around right there. I 318 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.240 mean, it's just electric. Yeah. Yeah, so that's that one. 319 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:53.839 That one's called a blue morpho butterfly, and that's one of the most iconic 320 00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:59.839 butterflies, especially if you travel anywhere to the tropics like Central and South America, 321 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.279 you'll see these blue MorphOS flying around. You know, I technically you 322 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:07.519 don't have a favorite butterfly, but if I had to answer that question, 323 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.119 it might be really fond of the blue MorphOS. Just that color. It's 324 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.880 just so incredible. Yeah, they're just sort of like they just flit around. 325 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.640 It's very peaceful, I think. So, you know, I'm glad 326 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.359 that people are able to see that they're flying around, because for some people 327 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.039 to walk into a space and have a lot of insects flying around, that's 328 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:30.759 something that they might have to have a minute to adjust to. Yeah, 329 00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.559 and we do have some people who come in and we have a space towards 330 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:36.279 the back where people can sit and kind of, you know, kind of 331 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:38.440 get into the zone. But most people who come in, this is what 332 00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:41.640 they want to see. They want to see all the butterflies flying around being 333 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:47.119 really active. Okay, why is it important for people to learn about butterflies, 334 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:48.240 well, I think, you know, butterflies, I think are a 335 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:53.519 really good group of animals to get people interested in the topic as a whole, 336 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.119 you know, because people are already meeting us halfway. They already really 337 00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:00.200 like butterflies because they're so colorful. And then from there we can talk to 338 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.400 them about why insects are really important as a whole group, because insects as 339 00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:07.680 a group do pretty much everything that you can think of on this planet. 340 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.960 We use the term ecological service. That sounds kind of kind of dry, 341 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.160 right, but it just means that insects as a whole are you know, 342 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.640 they're pollinators, they're recyclers, they help, they're the cleanup crew of the 343 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.640 planet. They do just about everything you could think of. You know, 344 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.119 they're they're so shiny, they're so colorful. And then from there we can 345 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.960 kind of start a bigger conversation of why it's important for people to to encourage 346 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.000 insects to thrive, to not be afraid of them, because for the most 347 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.880 part, they're they're harmless animals. And then maybe even you know, plants 348 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.759 a native plant or two in your yard or on your porch to help support 349 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.039 the insects in your neighborhood. So that's that's really I think our big goal. 350 00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.720 But you know what, if people want to come in here and just 351 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.519 relax and have a moment of zen and take a few photos, that's great 352 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.519 to You don't have to learn a thing if you don't want it right right, 353 00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:59.240 you know, I think, especially living in a place like La, 354 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.039 things can be stressful. And if you want to just come in and take 355 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:06.359 a breath and watch the butterflies and listen to the fountain, then that's absolutely 356 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.119 wonderful use of the space too. I love this. And then on the 357 00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:12.200 circle of life, as you said, they do so many different jobs, 358 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:19.359 where like what are their predators and are they are their prey to some and 359 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:26.279 are they predators to any So when they're adults, they are not predatory. 360 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.079 They're just nectar feeding, right and all about yeah, and all about media 361 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.200 exactly. But there are a lot of different animals that might attempt to eat 362 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.359 butterflies. Birds are a great example, reptiles, spiders of course, so 363 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.960 those are all animals that would feed on butterflies. But here's the interesting thing 364 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:47.400 about butterflies being so pretty. But we see those bright colors and as humans, 365 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:48.720 we just we love colors, right, right, so we see that 366 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.799 as a thing of beauty. But other animals actually see that as a warning. 367 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.319 So those bright colors are advertising that they have some way to protect themselves, 368 00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.279 and typically that's a toxin in their body that they absorbed from the caterpillar 369 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:04.319 stage. So we just interpret it as something that's just like, oh, 370 00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:07.279 look at people are dumb. We go, oh, look it's pretty, 371 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.160 let's go go see it, and animals are like, nah, not so 372 00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:17.400 fair, exactly very cool. So this I think would be a fabulous thing 373 00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:21.359 to do for your mom for Mother's Day, Like avoid the crowds at the 374 00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:25.799 brunches that are just going to be crammed full, and come and hang out 375 00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:30.200 at the Natural History Museum and see the butterflies. They're so spectacular. I 376 00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:32.839 think that's a great idea I do, okay, And if you don't make 377 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.519 it by Mother's Day, that's okay because you're open in the butterfly pavilion until 378 00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:38.680 when August twenty fifth, okay, so there's a lot of time to come 379 00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:42.599 and enjoy the butterflies. Great, And where would they get more information about 380 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:45.720 getting tickets and that kind of stuff. You absolutely visit our website to get 381 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.200 tickets, and we highly recommend you get tickets ahead of time because this is 382 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:53.559 a very popular exhibit and it sells out especially on the weekends, especially a 383 00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:59.680 busy weekend like Wether's Day, and you can get those tickets at NHMLA dot 384 00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:03.160 com. I'm also going to post the interview with Lisa on my ig at 385 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.599 Amy K King and at KFI AM six forty. It's really cool to see, 386 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.680 especially if you see those big blue morpho but butterflies, which I think 387 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:14.519 we're just mugging for the cameras. It was very cool, and of course 388 00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:17.799 I encourage you to go see it for yourself. It's the Butterfly Pavilion and 389 00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:22.119 it's going on now through August. Really pretty, really pretty peaceful. It 390 00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:23.720 was kind of a cool way to spend an afternoon. Let's get back to 391 00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.160 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A 392 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:32.680 gas station owner in Anaheim has sued the city, alleging an independent investigation proves 393 00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:37.039 political corruption cost him millions in lost income. Whether this was to payback the 394 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.759 favor or what we're going to find out as what we do Discovering. Lawyer 395 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.279 Steve Barrick says the independent report proves his client was blocked from rebuilding on his 396 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:49.519 own land following an unrelated closure years ago for soil contamination. The individual across 397 00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:55.680 the street, the gas station owner, had contributed significantly to the mayor's campaigns 398 00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:57.839 over the prior years, so he says it was no surprise when the mayor 399 00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:03.640 killed my client's The former mayor has since pleaded guilty to corruption. Anaheim declined 400 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.519 to comment until the city has served with the lawsuit in Anaheim. Corbin Carson 401 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.279 KFI news at trans air boeing seven thirty seven, with seventy nine passengers on 402 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.720 board, is skid it off a runway and crashed in Senegal. At least 403 00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.920 ten people were hurt last night. The injured were treated at a hospital, 404 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:23.599 others were sent to a hotel. California is replacing its decade old dream Big 405 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:30.400 slogan with a new one, Ultimate Playground. The nonprofit Visit California handles marketing 406 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.799 programs to help grow tourism in the state. The group says reasons for the 407 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:38.200 change are that the phase dream Big has lost weight over time, could be 408 00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:44.960 viewed as political and is being used more frequently by other companies. The Dodgers 409 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.200 have a day off today, but tomorrow night they'll take on the Padres in 410 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.240 San Diego. The first pitch goes out at six point forty. You can 411 00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:55.000 listen to every play of every Dodgers game on AM five to seventy LA Sports 412 00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:57.759 and stream all the games in HD on the iHeartRadio app. Keyword is AM 413 00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:02.799 five to seventy LA Sports powered by LA Care for all of LA. Former 414 00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:07.319 President Trump's hush money trial resumes this morning in New York. Stormy Daniels is 415 00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:11.799 going to be back on the stand. Her testimony Tuesday included graphic details about 416 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.799 an alleged sexual encounter with a former president about two decades ago. Trump paid 417 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:19.640 Daniels one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to keep it quiet. How that money 418 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.960 was recorded in his books is what we're looking at and why he's being tried. 419 00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:29.960 Thousands of DACA recipients will soon have access to affordable healthcare under a new 420 00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.759 federal rule. About one hundred thousand beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals 421 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:38.720 program will be able to enroll in a qualified health plan through the Affordable Care 422 00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:44.680 Act starting in November. Independent presidential Canada Robert F. Kennedy Juniors is a 423 00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:48.079 worm eate part of his brain and died inside his head more than a decade 424 00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:51.359 ago. Kennedy said he thought he might have a brain tumor, but it 425 00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:55.359 turned out to be a dead parasite inside his head. He also said in 426 00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:59.920 twenty twelve that he had suffered from mercury poisoning. We're just minutes away from 427 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.480 Handle. On the news this morning, President Biden says he's going to stop 428 00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:06.960 sending bombs to Israel if the IDF goes into RAFA. Right now, let's 429 00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:11.640 say good morning to Space Force Guardian and NASA astronaut Colonel Nick Hay. Good 430 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.359 morning, colonel, Good morning Amy. How are you. I'm great, 431 00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:19.160 and you've got to be good. You're training, You're less than one hundred 432 00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:26.039 days from heading to the International Space Station. Yeah, it's getting exciting. 433 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.039 Everything's starting to As you're training. When you're doing things for the last time 434 00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.279 and then you know the next time you're going to do it, you're going 435 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.160 to be in space, it starts to hit home that pretty soon you're going 436 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:40.559 to leave the planet. That's got to be sort of awe inspiring. So 437 00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:45.759 you are doing some training in Los Angeles this week. Yeah, so I'm 438 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.960 here training with SpaceX. They're the rocket and the capsule that's going to get 439 00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.400 us from the surface of the Earth up to the International Space Station, and 440 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.079 so we come out here to train as a crew in their training facility in 441 00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.319 Hawthorne. Okay, so tell us like some of the things, because obviously 442 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:03.720 we've talked about before ninety nine point nine nine nine percent of us are never 443 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:07.240 going to experience what you're about to experience. So what kind of training are 444 00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:14.720 you actually doing right now? Yeah, So specific to SpaceX, it's it's 445 00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:18.000 what do we do to help make sure that we take care of the people 446 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.559 inside of the spacecraft. You know, we're going to pilot the spacecraft all 447 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.319 the way up to the space station, but for the most part, it's 448 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:29.480 automated, and we've got teams on the ground that are taking care of all 449 00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:33.759 of the systems on board that make sure we get from the launch pad all 450 00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:37.000 the way up to the space station. So it's really the emergencies. What 451 00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.200 do we do if there's a fire, and how do we put that out, 452 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:42.759 and how do we protect ourselves so we can't We just can't just run 453 00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:45.200 out of the capsule if there's a fire inside. We have to figure out 454 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.839 how to put on things that are going to protect us, and how to 455 00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:51.440 clean the air and how to recover it so that we can keep going to 456 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:55.400 the space station. So we prepare for the things we hope will never happen. 457 00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:00.279 Yeah, I thought it reminds me of Apollo. Was it Apollo eleven 458 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:05.559 or Apollo thirteen, the one with Tom Hanks and their Yeah, they get 459 00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.240 stuck and something goes wrong and they're in space, and like you said, 460 00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:14.759 you can't just leave, and you have to figure out how to fix something 461 00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:17.799 that's that's broken when you have no outside source to help you. So I 462 00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.039 think it's really interesting and probably very smart that you're planning for all contingencies. 463 00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:27.640 Yeah, we try to train for everything that we can think of, and 464 00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:31.200 then hopefully we've got that team together like they did on a poll of thirteen 465 00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:37.440 talk about inspirational inspirational moments in the history of human space flight, teams working 466 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.920 together to try to tackle things they didn't think of. And I can tell 467 00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.920 you we get those teams in place today and then so if something did go 468 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.000 wrong, which it's not going to, but if something does, then you're 469 00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:52.480 collaborating with people on ground at the ground and they have like do they have 470 00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:57.839 like a separate capsule that is the same as yours like they did in the 471 00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:04.079 movie. Yeah, we've got simulators here on the ground. It's kind of 472 00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:08.160 amazing. So when you strap into your spacecraft and get ready to launch into 473 00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:14.160 space, it might be the second time you've ever sat in the particular spacecraft, 474 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:17.720 but you feel at home because you've trained in simulators that replicate it down 475 00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:22.839 to the minute detail, and you've spent hours and hours and days in those 476 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:28.039 simulators. And so we've got those facilities here on the ground to help not 477 00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:30.960 only train us, but if there's something up there, then they can model 478 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.519 what happened up there and then figure out, okay, what's the best way 479 00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.240 forward, just like you saw in the movies. I love it when life 480 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:43.000 imitates art. Okay, So speaking of life, you're heading up to the 481 00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:46.079 International Space Station sometime this summer, and hopefully we'll get to talk to you 482 00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:51.240 a couple of times before you head up there. But we were curious about 483 00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:54.079 life on the space station. So how big is the place that you're going 484 00:33:54.119 --> 00:34:00.359 to call home for six months. So the space station that's elf is i'll 485 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:05.039 call it gigantic. It's as big as a football field, so a modern 486 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:09.039 size, yeah, modern sized football stadium. You could set the space station 487 00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:14.599 kind of down into that stadium, one of those hundred thousand plus stadiums. 488 00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:16.960 You can set it into the stadium and it use all of that volume stretch 489 00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:22.559 into end from that football field, and the solar panels they stretch from sideline 490 00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:29.440 to sideline. So is it is gigantic. It took one hundred launches of 491 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:31.760 rockets to lift all of it up into space, and it took over one 492 00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:37.719 hundred spacewalks to put it all together in about a decade's worth of time. 493 00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:43.280 We don't live inside the entire space station because there's only certain parts that are 494 00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:49.119 pressurized to keep the atmosphere in and support life. So the volume that we 495 00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:54.719 occupy is roughly the size of like the four or five bedroom home, so 496 00:34:55.199 --> 00:35:01.400 what like four or five thousand square feet. Yeah, so's it's space. 497 00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:06.119 So we measure things a little differently. So volume is more important than the 498 00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:09.039 area, and so we tend to if you think about a room, everybody's 499 00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:12.519 you know, if you think of your house, if you've got eight foot 500 00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:15.159 ceilings or ten foot ceilings or telve foot ceilings, it probably doesn't really matter 501 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:20.880 because you only occupy the lower six feet of that room. But in space 502 00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:24.840 it matters because we float all over and we use all the sides, you 503 00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:30.199 know, all all six sides of the room. So volume, it's got 504 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:34.800 about the volume of a six bedroom house. Okay. And then does anybody 505 00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:37.119 have their own room or are you guys always just kind of in the same 506 00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:44.039 rooms. It's hard in a space like that where you're there for six months 507 00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.480 together, it's hard to have your own personal space. But we each have 508 00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:51.159 what we call a crew quarter. And if you think of that, it's 509 00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:53.159 a rather small closet. So I'm six foot tall. If I stand up 510 00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:59.480 and extend myself straight, my feet will touch the ground and my head will 511 00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:02.920 touch the top up and if I extend my elbows kind of to the side, 512 00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.440 I'll touch side to side. So it's a pretty small closet, but 513 00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:10.519 it is your space enough so that you can kind of escape a little bit. 514 00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:14.960 But you're up there and you get to know your crewmates rather well. 515 00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:19.760 Okay, So we had listeners right in to ask an astronaut a question. 516 00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.079 And one of the questions that we got was how do you sleep on this 517 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:25.760 space station? Like do you strap yourself down or you just float around? 518 00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:30.519 Or how does that go? Yeah, everybody's got a little bit different of 519 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:36.360 a technique, personally myself. That little crew quarters I have, it's got 520 00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:38.519 doors, so I close it, I turn out all the lights, turn 521 00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:44.480 off all the computers, so it's completely dark, and I just float and 522 00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.800 I gently bounce from one wall to the other, and it's so gentle it 523 00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:52.280 doesn't wake me up. And it is the best sleep I've ever had. 524 00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:55.920 It's like a hypercarrier chamber because yeah, you're just you're floating and there's no 525 00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:00.400 hotspots. You don't roll over in the middle of the night and you've got 526 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:02.880 a sore shoulder because it fell asleep, or your back's got akink in it. 527 00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:07.719 Your body just falls asleep and goes to the position that feels most comfortable. 528 00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:10.960 And so I sleep like a baby. And there's no gravity, so 529 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:15.880 you don't know if you're laying down or standing up. It doesn't matter. 530 00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:20.000 There's no up, there's no down. When I was there, I slept 531 00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.679 on the deck, which meant, you know, my head was kind of 532 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:28.880 pointed to left and right of the station, and I maybe pointing I'm maybe 533 00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:31.400 facing up towards you know, the stars or down towards the Earth. I 534 00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:36.199 don't know. I'm in this small little room with no lights in it, 535 00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:38.880 and I just floaked. Oh that's so amazing, Colonel Hag, thank you 536 00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:42.400 so much. We've run out of time, of course, which just makes 537 00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:44.559 me so mad because I've got a long list of things that i want to 538 00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:47.039 talk to you about. I'm hoping that we can talk again before you head 539 00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:52.639 up to space, and I hope your training goes well and we look forward 540 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:55.400 to talking to you again soon. Yeah. No, thank you so much. 541 00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:59.760 Appreciate the opportunity to share it and look forward to the next time you 542 00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.079 got it. Thank you so much. That is Space Force Guardian and NASA 543 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:09.559 astronaut Colonel Nick Hay. I am so interested in this, like just finding 544 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:15.480 out like the ins and outs of what it's like and learning about his experience 545 00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:16.320 and that kind of stuff. So hope we get to talk to him again 546 00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:22.000 real soon.
