Are you feeling a little anxious today? 6 00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:51.119 You may have triska decaphobia, a fear of things having to do with the 7 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.679 number thirteen. Apparently it's a real thing. Researchers say people actually suffer for 8 00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:00.640 this or from this, and some people get so freaked out about Friday the 9 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.480 thirteenth that they stay home from work. But here's the upside to it. 10 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.879 Experts say people are actually safer on Friday the thirteenth because they're so freaked out. 11 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:15.599 They're very careful and cautious, So be careful out there. I dig 12 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.040 Friday the thirteenth. I think it's cool. Here's what's ahead on wake Up 13 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:25.359 Call. LAPD says it is boosting patrols today because Hamas has called for supporters 14 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.599 to take to the streets for a so called Global Day of shad Willie say 15 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.560 there have been no credible threats in southern California, but La Santa Monica and 16 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.799 Beverly Hills police say there will be more officers patrolling synagogues and other places of 17 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.359 worship. Steve Scalise has pulled out of the race to become the next Speaker 18 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.519 of the House. The announcement last night came after a full day of meetings 19 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.239 with House Republicans. It did not appear that Scalise would get the two hundred 20 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.480 and seventeen votes he needed to get him voted in as speaker. All eyes 21 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.959 were on Taylor Swift, not for her new concert movie, which is now 22 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.239 in theaters, but because she was at the Chief Broncos game last night. 23 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.760 She's been rumored to be dating Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce for weeks, 24 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.599 but neither of them have confirmed a relationship. The Chiefs won the game, 25 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.719 by the way, nineteen to eight at six oh five its handle on the 26 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.080 news. Israel has warned more than a million residents of Northern Gaza they need 27 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.719 to get out within twenty four hours. That could be a signal that a 28 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.560 ground assault is about to happen. Let's get started with some of the stories 29 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.000 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As I just mentioned, 30 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:34.199 Israel's military has warned more than a million Palestinians in Gaza to evacuate the northern 31 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.240 part of the Gaza Strip ahead of an Israeli ground defensive. ABC's Andrew Dimbert 32 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.400 says people have been given twenty four hours. Israel, saying Hamas terrorists are 33 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:47.000 hiding in tunnels under homes. A UN spokesman responding, saying the United Nations 34 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:53.479 considers it impossible for such a movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences. 35 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.520 Hamas says dismissed Israel's warning as a ploy and told its people to stay in 36 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.039 their home. Holmes, We're gonna be talking to Jordana Miller again from Israel 37 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.759 in just a couple of minutes. She'll give us the latest on this, 38 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:12.080 because that twenty four hour window was announced I think about ten hours ago. 39 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.840 Hamas says Israel's bombardment of Gaza has killed thirteen of the hostages, including foreigners. 40 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.400 The group did not give the nationalities, but said they were killed over 41 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.840 the last twenty four hours, and Israeli military spokesman says they do not believe 42 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.319 the lies of Hamas. Police in France say a teacher has been killed at 43 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.120 a high school in the northern city of Arris. Local media say two students 44 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.080 were hurt in the stabbing attack. This morning, France's Interior minister says the 45 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.280 attacker has been arrested. A violent seventy one year old sex offender has escaped 46 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.400 a state mandated mental health facility in La Police are searching for the man they 47 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.879 say is armed and dangerous. LAPD's Drake Madison says John Carver, who also 48 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.840 goes by Scott Carver and Michael Meadows, was last seen Tuesday night on Olympic 49 00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.719 and Masilyin Avenue. Done cut off his monitoring device, led towards Sambacente Boulevard 50 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.719 and Sierra Benita Avenue, possibly on foot. Police are warning the public to 51 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.680 stay vigilant, travel in pairs, and stay in well lit areas. Anyone 52 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:15.639 with information has urged to call local police. Chris Sadler KFI News Fifteen organizations 53 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.920 in Orange County will split more than fifty two million dollars to create seven hundred 54 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:24.160 and six homeless housing units. That person's ability to be healthy is eighty percent 55 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.720 dictated by things outside of the doctor's office. Cal Optimus Kelly Bruno Nelson says 56 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.800 that's why Orange County's healthcare system put up the money for more affordable housing and 57 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.279 more permanent supportive housing. We also invested in some temporary housing and also some 58 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:42.279 ADU projects. Some examples include motels being converted into homeless units for veterans and 59 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.879 others in Santa Ana and Anaheim, as well as eight newly constructed homes in 60 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.959 Tustin for families with minor children in Orange County. Corbin Carson KFI News, 61 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:58.319 a watchdog agency in California, has called attention to the state's aging population and 62 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.360 its impact on housing and homelessness, healthcare, and workforce policies. The Little 63 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:06.519 Hoover Commission says the number of people fifty five and up will grow by ten 64 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:12.519 percent in the next forty years. It says nearly half of adults seventy five 65 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.040 and older may need long term care services and affordable housing, but California is 66 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.560 expected to face a shortage of caregivers. The commission says it hopes the findings 67 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:27.600 will push the state to better implement its master Plan for Aging. Okay So 68 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.680 here's somebody or actually a group who may be helping a little bit. I 69 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.879 know that today's kind of it's scary with the whole the warnings and all of 70 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:41.680 that stuff and everything that's going on in Israel. So here's a bit of 71 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:46.079 good news. There is a group of twenty two eighth graders. They are 72 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:51.360 in the woods Shop class in the Fullerton School District at Nicholas Junior High and 73 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:57.079 they know that there's a housing shortage, so they're building a home for someone. 74 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.439 They're going to have a fully furnished, complete with a kitchen, bathroom, 75 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.720 and living space for about three family members, one hundred and ninety two 76 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.959 square foot tiny home. They're working on it in class. They're hoping that 77 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:13.399 it's going to be done by like May and it will serve as a temporary 78 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:18.160 residence for a chosen Fullerton School District student and their family who are getting assistants 79 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:23.600 through the district. So they're getting this cool lesson on building, learning how 80 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.199 to build stuff, and doing it for a really good cause. And the 81 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:32.639 wood Shop class isn't the only one who's participating, because the students at Nicholas 82 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:38.959 are creating a documentary that will walk the students walk everybody through the students building 83 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.639 the house step by step, highlighting the highs and lows of tackling a project 84 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.319 like this, and like I said, they're expecting the bulk of it to 85 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.000 be done by May. So good on you kids at Nicholas Junior High. 86 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:53.879 Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller. Israel has told 87 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.759 the UN to clear out more than a million people from northern Gaza within about 88 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.240 twenty four hours, and that was ten hours. Where's they go? That's 89 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:08.279 right? The Israeli Army informing the UN that they were going to call on 90 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:15.240 the citizens of Gaza City in particular to evacuate, and they've dropped flyers, 91 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:20.199 They've put on the radio, messages in Arabic, SMS, text messages, 92 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:27.439 social media posts urging civilians to leave the area of Gaza City. That indicates 93 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.839 strongly that Israel is going to make that the focus of its next intense round 94 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:40.439 of bombing and airstrikes. Gaza City has long been a stronghold of Hamas. 95 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:46.399 Israel believes that there are tunnels underneath Gaza City that are used to shelter militants 96 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:51.160 and to hold arms and rockets. And rocket launchers. No surprise for those 97 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.759 of us covering this that Gaza City is going to be the next focus of 98 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:05.160 this really response to Hamas's gruesome attack Saturday night. So far the Israeli Army 99 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.959 has to meet six hundred thousand Palestinians have been on the move south. The 100 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.079 UN of course, says this is going to be, you know, a 101 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.360 very high bar to reach getting a million people out. There will be tens 102 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.480 of thousands that won't be able to move. They're saying it's going to push 103 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.720 Gaza. Into their words, the ABYSS so lots of concerns about a growing 104 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:30.800 humanitarian crisis. The border with Egypt is open, some goods can get in 105 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.159 that way. The Israeli side, of course, is still closed is or 106 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.240 will not let anything into the Gaza strip until they say Hamas releases the hostages 107 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.080 that they're holding. For the first time, we've got, you know, 108 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.919 a better picture. There are one hundred and twenty hostages the The Israeli Army 109 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.799 says they've informed the families. That's not a complete list. We expect that 110 00:08:52.879 --> 00:09:00.200 number to rise. Okay, Jordana, are people leaving Gaza because I know 111 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.240 that Hamas said, oh no, it's just a ploy. Stay where you 112 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:09.360 are. What are people doing? Right? So Hamas Israel says, and 113 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.519 I was on the briefing with the with the spokesperson while we were while this 114 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.200 was unfolding, he said, we're we see that Hamas is setting up roadblocks 115 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:24.480 and they're telling people they're preventing people from leaving, and they're calling the call 116 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.799 to evacuate fake news. And he was saying it is, it is not 117 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.440 fake news. But despite Hamas's efforts, it still looks like six hundred thousand 118 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.320 people, according to Israel, are on the move to the south. So 119 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.480 that's half of the half of the call to evacuate. Okay. And when 120 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.519 you say that six hundred thousand people are leaving and they have to go south, 121 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.000 guard they have to go going. Yeah, that's a good question. 122 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:58.759 I don't know the exact miles from Gaza City to someplace like han Unis, 123 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:07.000 but Gaza is about the size of Detroit City, so you know it has 124 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:13.080 to be it has to be several miles to get to the south. Okay. 125 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.240 And are they are they walking? Are they taking cars? Buses? 126 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.600 Do we know? I think any possible way? Yeah, I mean there 127 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.559 aren't even enough vehicles to do it all within the twenty four hour period. 128 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.960 That's why the Israeli side at least said, you know, we know it's 129 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.000 going to take longer than twenty four hours. Look on the Israeli side of 130 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.679 a million people have moved in the last five six days since the attack, 131 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.799 and it's taken five or six days, and they've done it under rocket fire. 132 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.679 But certainly it is easier to move out. It's easier to go north 133 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.600 in Israel than it is in the Gaza strip. Okay. And Hamas is 134 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.399 saying that fourteen hostages have been killed, but Israel's saying, now, we 135 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.639 don't believe that they could be lying. Do we have any kind of updates 136 00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:03.759 on any hostages, don't. Hamas announced that thirteen had been killed in Israeli 137 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:09.960 air strikes overnight. The Israeli Army said, we don't believe any information from 138 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.039 Hamas, and if we have our own means to verify that, we will, 139 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:18.080 So they're not responding, they're not saying that is a fact. Okay. 140 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:24.039 And you mentioned earlier that the border to Egypt is open for people to 141 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.399 leave. That's a new development, right because it had been closed Yeah, 142 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:35.720 it's been open and closed since Saturday's attacked, and right now it is opened. 143 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:41.039 Okay. And what is your reaction to Secretary or the reaction that you're 144 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:48.559 getting from people in Israel to Secretary of State Lincoln's visit and his reaction after 145 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:54.360 seeing the photos of the massacre. Basically his demeanor visibly changed to me, 146 00:11:54.559 --> 00:12:00.639 how are they responding to it in Israel? Right? I think there is 147 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:09.000 great appreciation that the Secretary of Defense is so empathetic with the scale of the 148 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.080 murder, and he called it a slaughter and he said, you know, 149 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:16.159 when we were fighting Isis, it was evil and he called this even worse 150 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:22.519 than Isis. We know that the Secretary of State saw, you know, 151 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.960 images and other pieces of evidence about what happened down in the South which are 152 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.879 horrifying. And I just want to say, you know, some people have 153 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:37.279 suggested that somehow Israe would have doctored photographs, for example, of some of 154 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.480 the babies that were mutilated or burned. I mean, I know somebody who 155 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:50.240 is in the Israeli Army and their task right now is having to help teams 156 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:56.600 identify through DNA and other means, just the children that were killed and burned 157 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.120 and mutilated. So it's you know, Israel is not faking anything here. 158 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:11.919 These these were these were atrocities and uh Lloyd Austin was you know, horrified 159 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.840 by them, and he expressed you know, his his the United States is 160 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.960 ironclad commitment to Israel and its security, and you know, said the USS 161 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.480 carriers here, and it has a clear message and that is he repeated what 162 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.879 the President said a few nights ago. Any group or organization that has any 163 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.399 thoughts of taking advantage of this situation, he said, we have one one 164 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.440 word for you, don't. Yeah, because you know it's clear that the 165 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.960 United States will be here. If this unfortunate, if God forbid, this 166 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:46.639 would expand to a much bigger regional war. Okay, well, Giordana Miller 167 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.240 again, thank you for your insight, insight and be safe. And it 168 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.960 sounds like you've got little ones in the background, and we thank you in 169 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.759 the background that there's there's people and more children there and so we we hope 170 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.440 use stay safe and and everybody can stay safe. And we'll just thank you 171 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.320 see what's next. Thank you there here, all right, take care, 172 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.720 Thank you so much. You bye, It's just astounding, right, like 173 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:18.159 that this is going on. It's just mind boggling and so terrifying, and 174 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.679 you know, terrifying that it could even happen here. You know, the 175 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.879 surprise attack and all of that just sort of gets your mind thinking, and 176 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.720 we're going to try to change our minds over to better things. When we 177 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.000 come back. We are going to be talking with the deputy director of the 178 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.559 Griffith Observatory because we have an eclipse tomorrow. We're going to find out when 179 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.639 it exactly is going to be and how you can safely view it. Remember 180 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.279 you're never supposed to look directly at the sun, but we're going to find 181 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:46.679 out about that. It's kind of a cool thing if you haven't seen an 182 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.919 eclipse for a while. Israel's military has told the UN that more than a 183 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.440 million people in northern Gaza need to get out within twenty four hours. That 184 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.639 warning could be a prelude to a ground assault. The UN says clearing that 185 00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:03.320 many people out in that short period is impossible without what it calls devastating humanitarian 186 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.480 consequences. Former La City Council President Nuri Martinez has spoken publicly for the first 187 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.440 time since audio recordings were leaked of a conversation in which she called the son 188 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:18.039 of a fellow councilman what translates to little monkey. She apologized on Telemundo yesterday, 189 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.919 but insists she was joking and had no racist intentions. The IRS says 190 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.360 Americans failed to pay about six hundred and eighty eight billion dollars in taxes due 191 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.440 on their twenty twenty one tax returns. That's a record for unpaid taxes. 192 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.559 The IRS says that's not going to happen again. At six oh five, 193 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.080 it's handle on the news. Police patrols are being increased around southern California following 194 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:45.000 Hamas's calling for a day of She had so cow police do say there is 195 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:52.679 no credible threat right now. We teased you with eclipse music five well and 196 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:58.159 to burn ring on Fire. I went down. That's because what we're going 197 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:03.480 to see is a of fire eclipse in the Western skies this weekend. So 198 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.559 we wanted to check in with the experts. Let's say good morning to Griffith's 199 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.919 Observatory's Deputy director, Mark Pine. Good morning, Mark, Good morning, 200 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.440 Amy. Thank you for getting up early for us this morning. Tell us 201 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.559 about the ring of Fire eclipse that we're going to see. So the Ring 202 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:25.720 of Fire is an eclipse that runs from the West coast, the Upper West 203 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:30.279 Coast, the Pacific Northwest down through Texas, and it occurs when the Moon 204 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:36.000 gets between the Earth and the Sun, and in the case of an annular 205 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:40.279 eclipse, which is what a Ring of fire eclipse is, the Moon blocks 206 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:45.320 most but not all, of the Sun. So what you see peeking out 207 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.440 is essentially a ring of the Sun that isn't covered by the Moon, and 208 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:53.960 that's where the Ring of Fire name comes from. That's not what we're going 209 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.399 to see in southern California. For us, the Sun will be about seventy 210 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.559 five percent covered, so it's a partial solar eclipse, but still seventy five 211 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.720 percent cover. That's a that's a pretty big chunk it is. It's a 212 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.759 big deal, and it doesn't happen all the time, and so that's why 213 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:18.599 we are having pre public observing at the observatory and we're doing an online broadcast, 214 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.640 and we want people to go outside and look at the eclipse, but 215 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:27.920 to do so obviously safely, which means they always have to be wearing either 216 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:33.880 eclipse glasses or looking through a properly filtered solar telescope, okay. And can 217 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:38.960 people get eclipse glasses if they don't already have them or is it kind of 218 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:45.279 tool. It isn't too late. Actually, people learned, including us, 219 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:52.000 learned from the twenty seventeen eclipse that sometimes demand for these gets very robust, 220 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.680 and so we have a lot at the observatory, so you can come and 221 00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.279 get them there. Our store opens today at noon, open tomorrow at six 222 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:07.279 am. Also some camera supply stores, some optical stores, possibly grocery stores. 223 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:14.559 So it's a but under no circumstance should anyone look at the sun without 224 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:19.519 proper protection. And no one should make their own filters there. There's always 225 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:23.839 been in the past, some you know, welder's glass this and something that, 226 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.759 And that's just a really bad idea and people shouldn't do it, okay, 227 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:33.359 because you literally can fry your eyes. You can, and that is 228 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.920 a that's a bad idea as interesting as a partial solar eclipse is. It's 229 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.319 not worth that, okay. And like you can't look in a mirror and 230 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.759 see it, that's not a good idea either. You can reflect an image. 231 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:48.200 You can't look at the mirror, but you can reflect the image onto 232 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:53.759 the ground and that's actually a very good idea is to get the sun and 233 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:59.839 reflect the image onto a flat surface or onto the ground so that you can 234 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.960 see it safely. You just don't want to be observing it directly without proper 235 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.039 protection. Okay. So one of the great places that you can go and 236 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.480 do that safely is the Griffith Observatory. You said you're going to open at 237 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.839 six o'clock, So tell us like the timeline, when when are we going 238 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.359 to start the eclipse and when does it get It's not going to get totality, 239 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:26.319 but when does when does it get at its most ecliptical. It's so 240 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.279 the eclipse, the first little bite out of the sun will come at eight 241 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.759 oh eight, and the as you described, the maximum eclipse is at nine 242 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:38.279 twenty four, and so the sun will be roughly three quarters covered at that 243 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:44.720 point, and then the eclipse ends at ten point fifty. So, as 244 00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:51.079 you were just saying, the building opens at six o'clock, will start setting 245 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:56.480 up telescopes on the lawn, and the store will be open to sell eclipse 246 00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:03.200 glasses. Obviously, anytime go to the observatory, parking can be almost as 247 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:08.400 rare as a partial solar eclipse. So you want to get there early and 248 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:18.599 just and be ready potentially for a walk uphill. But it's a Saturday morning 249 00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:26.000 and we expect a good crowd and we expect hopefully clear skies that will let 250 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:30.200 people actually see this. Okay, And then you also mentioned an online broadcast. 251 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.240 If people want to stay hunkered down in their homes don't want to venture 252 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:38.079 out, where would they find that they would find that they can get a 253 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:42.960 link to it from the homepage of our website, Gripithobservatory dot org, and 254 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:49.400 we will and those that broadcasts just like our public observing events that if you 255 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.559 want to think of it as an event on site. Both of those run 256 00:20:52.640 --> 00:21:00.240 from eight am to eleven am, so people can watch safely either way. 257 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.240 Great, and the good news is it's not too early in the morning, 258 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.039 so you don't have to get up at the krack of dawn and you can 259 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.319 still see a major celestial event. I love it. Thank you so much 260 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.920 for your time this morning. Appreciate it so much. That's Griffith Park observe 261 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:19.119 A. Griffith Observatories Deputy Director, Mark Pine, thanks so much. Doing 262 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.440 all right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 263 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.039 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Local law enforcements say they're monitoring recent online threats 264 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.039 by hamas calling for a day of jihai. La County Sheriff's investigators say they're 265 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.440 keeping a close eye on social media posts and are not aware of a credible 266 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:38.440 threat to the La County area. LAPD Deputy Chief Dave Kowalski says his counter 267 00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:42.799 terrorism Bureau is in regular contact with federal and international agencies, and they too, 268 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:48.839 are closely watching digital activity. Many times where we've been ahead of it 269 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.279 and attacks haven't occurred, whether it's here in Los Angeles or other parts of 270 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.799 the country or the world, those are wins for us. Kowalski also says 271 00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.960 there are no credible threats in the LA area. Steve King if I knew 272 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.759 La City councilman cure and Price is due in court to face charges of theft 273 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.440 by embezzlement, perjury, and conflict of interest. Prosecutors say Price voted on 274 00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:12.960 projects involving developers tied to his wife's consulting firm, then failed to report the 275 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:18.599 connections. He's also accused of having to the city cover nearly thirty four thousand 276 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.359 dollars in medical payments for a woman he was not married to. Price has 277 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:29.240 said he is innocent. We don't know who the latest Powerball billionaire is yet, 278 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:32.480 but we do know the owners of the liquor store where the ticket was 279 00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:36.359 sold in Fraser Park. They get a million dollars for selling the ticket. 280 00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.599 I only had get half of the money. The other have, Gustlwai rather, 281 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:44.400 I want to make sure. I want to make sure my kids have 282 00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:48.839 enough funds for the colleague. Co owner Andrew Andy Khalail says he may also 283 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.559 go on a vacation. The winner of Wednesday's jackpot has a year to come 284 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.119 forward to claim the one point seven to three billion dollar prize. And the 285 00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.319 Warren and Downey High school football teams are going to play tonight on under the 286 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.160 brightest of Friday night lights. They're going to be at SOFI Stadium. The 287 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:07.000 seven o'clock game between the two Downy schools will be the first high school football 288 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.160 game played at the stadium that is normally home to the LA Chargers and Rams, 289 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:17.960 and the LAPD says it is boosting patrols today because it reports Homas Hamas 290 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.839 has called for supporters to take to the streets for a so called Global Day 291 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.359 of Jihad. La Santa Monica and Beverly Hills police say there will be more 292 00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:30.279 officers patrolling synagogues and other places of worship. If you can hold off on 293 00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.000 filling your gas tank for a couple more days, you might want to, 294 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:38.160 because gas prices just keep falling. They've dipped for the fourteenth straight day and 295 00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:41.359 are down to five eighty five a gallon. I know, still really high, 296 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.000 but way down from where they were, and it's down to five sixty 297 00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:51.480 five in oc All eyes were on Taylor Swift, not for her new concert 298 00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:55.119 movie, which is now in theaters and breaking records, but because she was 299 00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.440 at the Chiefs Broncos game last night. She's been rumored to be dating Kansas 300 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:02.200 City tight end Travis Kelcey for weeks, but of course neither one of them 301 00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:06.799 have confirmed a relationship. The Chiefs won the game nineteen to eight. At 302 00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:08.599 six oh five. It's handle on the news. Israel has warned more than 303 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:14.240 a million residents in northern Gaza they need to get out in twenty four hours, 304 00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:17.559 and that warning came about ten hours ago. I could signal a ground 305 00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:19.920 assault is about to happen. At five point fifty, we're going to be 306 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:26.799 talking with ABC's Jason Nathanson about new stuff on the stream, what's old is 307 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.720 new and all that. And actually I just saw there's a tease for a 308 00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.240 really cool show or it looks really cool, Lessons in Chemistry. He's going 309 00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:37.200 to tell us about that right now. Though, Let's say good morning to 310 00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:41.359 our house whisper and host of Home on KFI. It's Dean Sharp. Good 311 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:47.680 morning, Dean Amy King. We just watched the first two episodes of Lessons 312 00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:49.440 in Chemistry last night. It was amazing. Oh you know what when they'd 313 00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:53.319 say it drops on Friday, it drops the day before. I know. 314 00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.839 We were totally expecting to do that tonight because we both read the book, 315 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:02.480 Tina and I, and we were so looking forward to and I sat down 316 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:07.400 last night and I'm like, look there it is it. So we had 317 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.559 to I do the same thing. Okay, but right now, let's talk 318 00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.759 about houses, because even though interest rates are at their highest point in like 319 00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:21.200 twenty three years, people are still buying and selling, and I would imagine 320 00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:23.720 it's probably a little tougher to sell. So you've got to make sure your 321 00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:30.279 house is sail ready. That's absolutely right. And you know it hasn't stopped 322 00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.400 life. You know, nothing that happens shuts life down. People still have 323 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:38.359 to sell houses. People are still buying houses, and especially when the market 324 00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:41.640 is tight and tough like it is right now. And that's what, by 325 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.680 the way, what we're talking about all weekend, we're talking about staging houses. 326 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.440 We're talking about real estate with one of my real estate experts on Sunday, 327 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.160 just to get a sense of like what the heck is going on out 328 00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.599 there in the housing market. But staging a house to sell, this is 329 00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.559 very much in my whee wheelhouse because this is a design issue. This is 330 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:06.240 something that we prep so that we present and it's in one sense, it's 331 00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:11.160 like one hundred and eighty degrees opposite of what I normally do because I am 332 00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.920 a custom home designer. I'm all about taking you your personality and making the 333 00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:22.759 home all about your story. And when we stage a house, you want 334 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:27.519 really exactly now, we don't want to remove story because story still sells. 335 00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:33.599 Okay, that's really the key of staging. If we weren't concerned about telling 336 00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.799 a story, then we could just empty out the house and show a house 337 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:42.200 vacant. But I'll tell you every real estate expert that I've ever known who's 338 00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:48.359 ever advised me, would prefer not to actually sell an empty house because you 339 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:53.039 want to project a story, and it's difficult for people to imagine, well, 340 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.720 how would I use this space? How would I you know, how 341 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.480 does the furniture set up in here? So if you can give them an 342 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.640 aspirational story or a model of look, this is the kind of life you 343 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:11.640 could live in this space, then it absolutely, without questions, statistically helps 344 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:15.279 us sell a house. Now, you know, there are people out there 345 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.079 who can clear a house out and then rent furniture and stage it that way, 346 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.279 and that's very fancy and it's expensive, and most people who are listening 347 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:25.319 to us are like, Okay, then we're not going to do that. 348 00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:30.039 Right, I'm here to tell you can do it with you living in the 349 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.160 house. But there are some key things that you got to follow. The 350 00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.920 very first and most important thing is you have to kind of emotionally move out 351 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:42.519 before you move out. Oh so remember this from when I was selling my 352 00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.759 house and I hated it, but I knew it had to be done exactly 353 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.000 right. And so one of the things that you know that leads to a 354 00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:53.359 number of simple things. One of them is, and probably the most illustrative 355 00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:59.480 of all of these tips is, for instance, getting rid of or putting 356 00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:04.000 away I should say not getting rid of, putting putting away family photos and 357 00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:08.119 all of them. And there's a reason why we're not. We don't want 358 00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:14.359 to take art off the wall or just general photographs, but family photos. 359 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:18.039 Because here's the thing. If I walk into your home, I'm a potential 360 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:21.960 buyer. I don't want to be walking into your home. I want to 361 00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:27.519 be walking into perhaps my future home. And so to see furniture setup that's 362 00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:33.240 one thing, But to see you know, your photos in your bedroom, 363 00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:37.000 this makes it. You know, I'm a trespasser at that point, right, 364 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.480 I feel uncomfortable inside, you know, because this is somebody else's store. 365 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.880 And here's the thing, the last story thing that you want running through 366 00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.880 my head and I walk into you know, one of your special spaces, 367 00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:53.480 is I don't belong here. I don't belong here. This is somebody else's 368 00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:57.119 think about that. That's the last thing you want a potential buyer to say, 369 00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:03.640 I don't belong here. So these are the kinds of strategies we have 370 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.000 to employ when it comes to staging a house. Yeah, I think one 371 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:11.960 of the things that I always think, I'm sure a real estate agent told 372 00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:15.200 me at some point, was when you walk into a house, you want 373 00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:19.319 the person who's a potential buyer to say, oh, I could see me 374 00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:25.799 living here, and if they see you, they don't. Absolutely. It 375 00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:30.920 basically comes down to two things, two principles. One calming fears. There's 376 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:36.000 a lot about what calming fear. Well, there's a lot of fear when 377 00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:37.240 it comes to buying a house. You know this, You own a house 378 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:44.880 and it's our arguably the largest investment in most of us will ever make. 379 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.359 We're walking into a strange environment. There's so much we don't know about the 380 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:53.079 place, and we're worried about things like is this a money pit? Is 381 00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:57.559 this thing? And So when I say calming fears, I mean doing nothing 382 00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:03.359 that alerts, you know, sends off any red lights or sirens in anybody's 383 00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:04.240 mind. So when people ask me all the time, they're like, all 384 00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:07.440 right, Dean, I want to sell my place. What should I do? 385 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:11.079 Where should I I've got some money that I'm going to spend on it 386 00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.240 to get it ready to sell. Should I fix the roof or should I 387 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:19.079 redecorate the living room? And I'm always please fix the roof, Okay, 388 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:25.519 So houses Still, when it comes down to it, far more important that 389 00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:30.119 you get the basics in order. You do not want that home inspection report 390 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.240 coming back with like, yeah, it's got some issues in the world. 391 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.559 You know, the electrical is subpar, the plumbing is messed up, all 392 00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.359 the basics of the have all of that in order first, and then if 393 00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:48.960 you've got some disposable time and energy after that, clean it up and apply 394 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:52.279 you know, the art of staging to it. So that's calming fears, 395 00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.680 because fear is just going to shut it down, right there, Any kind 396 00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:59.759 of alert like that is going to shut a buyer down. If you don't 397 00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:03.039 have their fears going, then what you want to do is what you just 398 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:07.359 said, which is you want to excite their aspirations. You want them to 399 00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.880 think I could see myself in this room, living life in this space. 400 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.799 And that's the goal of good stage, and that is what you're going to 401 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:19.519 be talking about all weekend long. I love if I could do it for 402 00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:22.359 a living, I would stage houses. I love doing that kind of stuff. 403 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.000 I used to do really my friends all the time. It really is 404 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.119 a lot of fun. Absolutely, Dean Sharp so much, Thank you so 405 00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:30.920 much. So we can listen to you six to eight tomorrow morning and then 406 00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:37.680 nine to noon on Sunday. And where do we follow you on social at 407 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.519 home with Dean? That's easy, Dean Sharp, It thanks so much. 408 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:45.039 Thanks Amy. All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming 409 00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:47.839 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Just getting word right now that 410 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:53.920 Kaiser Permanente has reached a tentative deal with the unions representing seventy five thousand workers, 411 00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:59.079 including here in California. That is just coming into the newsroom right now. 412 00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:01.319 We will get you more information as soon as we haven't remembered, they 413 00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:06.000 walked out for three days last week, and they had threatened to walk out 414 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.720 again unless they got a deal. Israel has warned more than a million Palestinians 415 00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:15.599 to evacuate northern Gaza. The order comes. Officials expect Israel's Ministry of Defense 416 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:20.359 to initiate a ground defensive against Hamas. The terror group has dismissed the warning 417 00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.279 as a ploy and is calling on people to stay in their homes. The 418 00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:28.359 UN responded to the warning last night, saying it is physically impossible to evacuate 419 00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:32.599 that many people without devastating humanitarian consequences. Mission Viejo could pay up to seven 420 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:37.720 hundred thousand dollars in attorney fees for lawsuits that led to a judge removing the 421 00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:39.759 entire city council. When those two year terms were up, they should have 422 00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:44.359 run for reelection. Lawyer Aaron Hand says all five council members had to go 423 00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.839 back to the ballot, and two who had stayed beyond term limits did not 424 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:52.279 get reelected last year. They decided to use legal maneuvering in order to try 425 00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:55.599 to stay in office without calling an election and giving the people the right to 426 00:32:55.720 --> 00:33:00.359 choose. Mission Viejo City attorney Bill Curly says the city was just looking for 427 00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:04.680 a fair way to switch to district voting. If the Court of Appeals is 428 00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:08.519 favorable to the city, nothing will be in Orange County. Corbin Carson k 429 00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:13.480 if I News. Yeah, more things are getting more expensive. Chipotley's menu 430 00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.960 is about to get more expensive. The company says that for the first time 431 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:21.880 in over a year, it has to make a modest price in crete increase 432 00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:27.279 to offset inflation. Chipotle has not announced the new prices or when the change 433 00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:30.640 will take effect. Either way, it makes me hungry and I want Chipotle 434 00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:35.960 now. Kaiser permanente in the unions representing thousands of healthcare workers have reached a 435 00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:38.359 tentative deal that could end the labor dispute that led to a three day strike 436 00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:43.319 last week. The union has been pushing for higher wages that factor in inflation, 437 00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:46.680 increased staffing, and better working conditions. We're just getting this information in, 438 00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:51.039 so we'll get you more information as the morning goes on. Ford Motor 439 00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:54.480 Company is telling the United Auto Workers that it's twenty three percent pay raise offer 440 00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:59.519 is the most they can afford to do. The UAW is striking the Big 441 00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:04.079 three autumn as they look for a forty percent raise and a four day workweek. 442 00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:08.079 Former La City Council president Nuri Martinez has spoken publicly for the first time 443 00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:12.960 since audio recordings were leaked of a conversation in which she called the son of 444 00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:17.480 a fellow councilman what translates to little monkey. She apologized on Telemundo yesterday, 445 00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.320 but insisted she was joking and had no racist intentions. We're just minutes away 446 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:25.840 from handle on the news this morning. Police patrols are being increased around southern 447 00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:32.199 California following Hamas's call for a day of jihad. It is Friday. We 448 00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:37.000 like to see what's happening in the world of entertainment, and for that we 449 00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:42.559 turned to our entertainment guru, ABC's Jason Nathanson. Jason, do you think 450 00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:46.239 we can officially call you a swifty? Now? Yeah? Maybe, I 451 00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:50.320 don't know. I like Taylor Swift. I like everything's going on, like 452 00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:53.239 her aesthetic. I like, you know, her attitude. I like how 453 00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:58.920 she runs everything in her the business side of everything. I think she's a 454 00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:02.960 genuinely good person. So you know, you take all that and going in 455 00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:07.159 and going to this concert movie, and I gotta say, you kind of 456 00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:12.119 gotta be a little bit of the swifty to enjoy this because you went to 457 00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:15.960 the one at the Grove. I did. I went to the premiere to 458 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:20.119 the premiere at the Grove, So it was you know, all theaters. 459 00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:22.760 Usually, you know, when you go to a premiere, it's one theater, 460 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:29.039 either it's the TCL Chinese or like for the really big ones, Star 461 00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:31.840 Wars or an Avengers, they'll do three theaters in that complex. They'll do 462 00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:37.880 the Dolby and the TCL and the Disney Theater there as well. I've never 463 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:42.519 been to a premiere where it was every theater at a complex like this, 464 00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.719 all fourteen theaters there, and Taylor Swift took her time and went to every 465 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:47.679 single theater. Oh that's what I was going to ask. I'm like, 466 00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:50.679 well, which one did she go to? Yeah? She went. She 467 00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:53.360 went to every single theater beforehand, gave a little three minute speech. It 468 00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:57.880 was the same speech pretty much for every one of them. And then she 469 00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:01.039 actually did stay and watched it in theater number two with all the people in 470 00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:05.480 there. Again rare. Most of you know, most of the stars, 471 00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.360 they show up and they don't sit and watch the movie unless they're there with 472 00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:12.320 their families or something like that. But a lot of them leave because, 473 00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.440 you know, they don't want to sit and watch the movie again they've seen 474 00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:17.800 it before. So she stayed and watched the whole time. I was in 475 00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:23.119 Theater one with her, all of her dancers, and Mariska Hargatea also from 476 00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:27.800 Law and Order SVU. The two of them are very close and she named 477 00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:30.360 her cat after her character on the show. They have a long history together. 478 00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:36.199 Flavor Flav was in there as well, the rapper who was a big 479 00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:38.559 swiftye who I did not know that he was a big swifty and a bunch 480 00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:42.679 of fans too. Some of the fans who were in there were the ones 481 00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:45.199 who were they were, you know, as she went into the every theater, 482 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:49.519 she told everybody in there, you were hand picked to be here tonight. 483 00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.400 And some of them actually were, Like some of the fans were the 484 00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:58.360 way they got the tickets, wore they were they listened to her on Spotify. 485 00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:01.280 They were the top listeners to Taylor Swift on Spotify. She is so 486 00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:05.559 good about that kind of stuff. Man, She loves her fans, really 487 00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.000 really good about that. And she rewarded them. They got they were notified, 488 00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:12.400 Hey, you're in the top point one percent of listeners on Spotify, 489 00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:15.800 and here's a ticket to the premiere with you know, or two tickets, 490 00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:19.719 you and a friend. And you know, people flew in from all over 491 00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:25.239 the country and some cases of the world to see this movie. And you 492 00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:29.719 should know going in, if you're going to see it, if you're taking 493 00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:32.039 your kids, you know, and it's not something you really want to see, 494 00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:36.039 but you want to take them or whatever. This is a concert movie. 495 00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:38.199 It's two hours and forty eight minutes of the concert, and it's just 496 00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:43.679 concert, right, just concert. It was taped here at so Far the 497 00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:47.159 first three nights of her six nights stand. They used those nights to kind 498 00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:52.559 of fill what they have here, and the concert itself was I don't know, 499 00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:54.480 three hours and fifteen minutes, three and a half hours, something like 500 00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:58.800 that. So they did cut some stuff, but there's no behind the scenes, 501 00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:01.400 there's no talking, there's no going between cities some of the stuff. 502 00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:07.320 That really makes to me some of those concert movies a lot more interesting because 503 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.239 just watching it's like watching a really long music video. And don't get me 504 00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:15.199 wrong, I again, I saw it in IMAX. It looks spectacular, 505 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:20.920 so if I stadium looks absolutely incredible. From the aerial views, you really 506 00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:23.480 get a sense of what it's like to be on stage as her looking out 507 00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:29.440 into the crowd of tens of thousands of people. It's amazing and almost overwhelming 508 00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:35.719 at times, but beautifully shot, really cool. But again, it's two 509 00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:39.639 hours and forty eight minutes of her performing and the people in the audience dancing 510 00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:44.480 and singing loudly. I would think that that would be the distracting part of 511 00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:45.719 it. But I guess if you go to the movie, you're a swifty 512 00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:50.039 anyway, so you expect it. So a couple things about that. The 513 00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:52.039 sound in the theater, at least at the AMC at the Grove, in 514 00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:57.559 the Imax theater was incredible. I mean absolutely, It's pretty cool to hear 515 00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:00.880 something that loud and that close like that. So I enjoyed the sound. 516 00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:05.840 And the sound was so loud it drowned out most of the singing unless somebody 517 00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:08.239 was right next to you, which somebody was right next to me. She 518 00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:12.960 was really really into it. But you know, if people are a little 519 00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:15.519 bit away from you, I did not hear them singing, but you definitely 520 00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:19.760 see them dancing. Okay, So it's like being at a concert. People 521 00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:22.760 were talking, people were on their phones. If it were a real movie, 522 00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.559 I'd kind of be, you know, a little annoyed by all that. 523 00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:30.559 But in this setting, it feels right, and you feel like you're 524 00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:32.880 at a concert and you have the best view in the house. So if 525 00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:37.719 you if you were at those concerts it's so far, you're going to see 526 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.440 stuff that you didn't see because you were you know, you're pretty far away 527 00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:44.920 from the stage. Even with the video monitors, this is the best shot 528 00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.119 in the house. Okay, cool, all right, So moving on from 529 00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:51.079 Swift, we don't have a whole lot of time, and I got two 530 00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:52.400 things at least that I want to talk to you about. One is Frasier 531 00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:59.599 and the other one is the Lessons in Chemistry, because Dean Sharp just says 532 00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:02.440 that he watched Lessons in Chemistry. At least the first two episodes tell us 533 00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:06.440 about that one. Oh yeah, that's a new show on Apple TV Plus. 534 00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:08.719 It stars Bree Larson, based on a popular book from last year. 535 00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:13.000 I believe it looks really good, is it? Yeah? I really liked 536 00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:20.760 it. She plays a chemist chemistry, kind of a scientist in a lab 537 00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:23.440 in nineteen fifties. Who is you know, there's a lot of sexism, 538 00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:27.960 a lot of misogyny. She is not certainly, they don't treat her as 539 00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:31.400 equals, and she has to go through a lot to try to gain people's 540 00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:36.840 respects. She's brilliant and then things kind of go from there. And you 541 00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:38.239 know, if you haven't seen, I don't want to kind of ruin anything, 542 00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:43.880 but Bree Larson's fantastic and I think this is a you know, we've 543 00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:47.360 seen her in the Marvel movies most recently, and that's fine, but this 544 00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:52.119 is also you know, she won an Oscar for Room several years ago, 545 00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.360 and when she first kind of came onto the scene, so she can act, 546 00:40:55.559 --> 00:41:00.119 she can act, and this is this is we're seeing that again in 547 00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:00.920 a way we haven't seen it in a while. Yeah. For I saw 548 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:04.639 the trailers for it initially and I went and then I watched it again. 549 00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:06.960 I went, wait a second, that does look kind of interesting. Yeah. 550 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:08.079 I liked it okay. And it's set in sun the California in the 551 00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:10.880 fifties, which is cool too, love it okay. And then Fraser's back. 552 00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:15.039 I watched the first two episodes. What'd you think? Yeah, yeah, 553 00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:19.800 that's exactly what I thought. Look, I these revivals have not really 554 00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:22.400 worked for me, and I don't I want to, especially a show like 555 00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:24.679 Fraser, which was so great at the time. There's no need to tarnish 556 00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:29.079 the image. But the one thing I noticed when watching this stuff is it 557 00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:34.079 just feels like an old way of watching television, These these kind of sitcoms 558 00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:37.159 which I used to love. The three camera the laugh track is so glaringly 559 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:40.079 obvious. This thing I noticed right off the bat the first scene, you 560 00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:44.280 guys, so if you if you haven't watched it yet, they open it 561 00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:51.280 up and Fraser comes on screen and you hear this really really loud fake yeah 562 00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:54.320 laugh, applause track. Yeah, and it went come on. It's bad. 563 00:41:54.440 --> 00:41:58.079 Yeah, it was really bad. It sounds bad. It's just distracting. 564 00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:00.880 It does. It doesn't feel that the timing and everything. It just 565 00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.760 again, it feels like kind of old fashioned and not in it, not 566 00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:08.559 in a great way. And you know the characters. You know, you 567 00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:12.639 have Frasier of course, but most of the characters surrounding him are new. 568 00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:16.400 There are going to be some appearances from some of the other like bb new 569 00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:21.960 Worth and Perry Gilpin will show up at some point, but David had Pieris 570 00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:24.719 who plays Niles, and Jane Leaves who played Daphning, they're not They passed 571 00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:29.360 on it, so you don't expect to see them. And it's just kind 572 00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:35.800 of a little I thought too. It tarnishes the original, which is not 573 00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:37.599 ever what you want to do when you bring something like this back. Yeah, 574 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:39.519 but if you do want to check it out, it's on Paramount Plus 575 00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:43.519 the first three episodes have dropped. All right, Jason Nathan's and thank you 576 00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:49.000 so much for your time. Are little swifty Bye bye, Okay, before 577 00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:52.239 we run the irs as Americans failed to pay about six hundred and eighty eight 578 00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:57.920 billion dollars in taxes in twenty twenty one tax returns, and they say that's 579 00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:00.280 not going to happen again. They said they're going to step up audits and 580 00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:05.840 other enforcement, particularly of high income taxpayers. And remember we had our tax 581 00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:10.239 day delayed because of the wildfires virtually all over California.
