She's doing something this week, this weekend and next week that she 6 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:27.519 looks forward to every year, and that is a rodeo. She's up with 7 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:33.119 family and friends in northern California enjoying some rodeo, probably some brisket. I'm 8 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:39.560 gonna guess lots of events as well this weekend. A reminder, Today is 9 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.079 Friday. It's a business day.

She's the one we know identify with a 15 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.000 little bit. Jane Fonda movie filmed in Italy, so that seems to be 16 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.200 top of mind, at least for my parents, probably for some others too. 17 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.920 So we have Jim Ryan this hour as well. We're going to talk 18 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.200 about the border situation. Caleb Silver is going to be in. He's from 19 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:29.159 Investopedia, he's an ABC contributor. We're going to talk about business economics a 20 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.799 little bit. I get the nerd out with him about the Elon Musk and 21 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.159 Twitter CEO announcement as well. And of course Dean Sharp is here and he's 22 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.400 got some stuff that it's gonna It could transform your kitchen and the way you 23 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:46.680 do efficiency if you will in your kitchen. Let's get some headlines first. 24 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.079 The immigration policy known as Title forty two has officially expired. The COVID era 25 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:57.560 restrictions ended last night just before midnight Eastern time. The policy allowed for migrants 26 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.280 to be turned away at the US border to slow the spread of COVID nineteen. 27 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:07.319 More on that soon. The US veteran who allegedly killed a homeless man 28 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.560 in a New York subway will turn himself into day. Daniel Penny is being 29 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.560 charged with second degree manslaughter for the death of Jordan neely On May first to 30 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:23.759 board a Manhattan subway train, and Twitter owner Clon Musk. Elon Musk says 31 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.080 he has found a new CEO for Twitter and that she will start in a 32 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.000 matter of weeks. It's most likely going to be Linda Yaccarino, that's what's 33 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:37.120 being reported. She's currently the head of Advertising and Partnerships at NBC Universal. 34 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:39.599 Like I mentioned, in just a few minutes, we're going to talk with 35 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.960 ABC's Jim Ryan. The immigration policy known as Title forty two did end at 36 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.680 midnight, and Jim is on the border at El Paso, Texas. So 37 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.080 let's start with some other stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news 38 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.680 room. Because we do lead. Local border and customs agents have been training 39 00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.719 for a potential rush of people through the San ye Cedro Port of Venture near 40 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.759 San Diego. Agents practice shooting tear gas in the event they are overrun by 41 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.879 migrants who try to push their way through the world's busiest port of entry. 42 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.919 The training began Wednesday night. Officials say since the Medical Order Title forty two 43 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.960 was implemented three years ago, more than three million migrants have been turned away 44 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.599 along the US Mexico border. In twenty eighteen, hundreds of migrants in a 45 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.439 caravan from Central America tried to rush through the vehicle lanes at the Sandy Sidral 46 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.360 port of entry, while others tore through concertina wire and climbed fences. They 47 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.039 were all pushed back into Mexico. Steve Gregory ca if I knows. A 48 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:38.800 federal judge in Florida has temporarily blocked the Biden administration from releasing migrants more quickly 49 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.000 when border patrol holding stations are full. The government's policy would release some migrants 50 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.039 into the US without court dates or the ability to track them. Florida's Attorney 51 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:52.800 general filed an emergency motion to keep the policy from being implemented. The restraining 52 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:58.159 order will expire within fourteen days. The Orange County DA's office says more girls 53 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.319 may have been molested by a cheer leading coach charged with multiple felonies. Pedophiles 54 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.960 they never ever stop stalking and grooming their prey unless they are stopped. Orange 55 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.639 County Das kimberly Ed says Eric Christen Sends charged with molesting six girls between eleven 56 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.120 and sixteen years old, taking some of the girls to off campus events and 57 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.759 even to his home where he would molest them. He says. The guy 58 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.560 coach for Magic All Stars Club and Tribuco Hills High School between two thousand and 59 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:26.519 two and two thousand and seven. He's also facing child molestation and child exhibition 60 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:31.079 charges in Florida relating to four of his competitive cheer athletes that he coached in 61 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.639 Daytona Beach. Christiansen's due back in court in two weeks. In Orange County, 62 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.680 Corbin Carson ka if I News, Northern California has been shaken by a 63 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:44.120 magnitude five point five earthquake. This man says he had just finished work and 64 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.040 was in his truck near the epicenter when the quake hit yesterday afternoon. I 65 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.600 thought somebody was growing around with me, and I thought I got hit by 66 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.480 another truck, and then I felt like my truck was going to flip over. 67 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.360 It was pretty great. The quake hit near the community of East Shore 68 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.279 that's in Plumas County and was reportedly felt in Sacramento, more than one hundred 69 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.360 and sixty miles away in just a couple of minutes. We're gonna check on 70 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.519 the situation at the Texas border this morning. With ABC's Jim Ryan, but 71 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.839 first from the Southern California Toyota Dealers Traffic Center. Let's go places, Let's 72 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.759 check your drive, and that means roadwork on the fifteenth in Hesperia. It's 73 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.959 northbounds side of the fifteen Freeway between Oak Hill and Joshua Street. The three 74 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.399 right lanes are shut down there and that's got you really jammed up through the 75 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.240 area. Southbound side of the fifteen. We had road work overnight in that 76 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.240 same area. They've picked up the southbound closure, but still seeing the layes 77 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.920 coming away from Oak Hill heading into the Cahone Pass and towards de Vore. 78 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.720 You also have a problem the Supulita Pass on the northbound side of the four 79 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.959 l fives and tree branches in the lanes and the right lanes just before Skirball 80 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.920 Center. That's got you backed up to about Getty Center. KFI and the 81 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:50.399 sky helps get you there faster. I'm Robert Dubucky. It is five almost 82 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:55.439 almost seven minutes after five o'clock on your wake up call, and on the 83 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.800 KFI live line, we have ABC's Jim Ryan. He's joining us from El 84 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.720 Paso, Texas. Good more, gym, Good morning, fairly quiet here. 85 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.000 There were people waiting on the other side of the fences last night to 86 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:13.000 come into the country once Title for forty two was transferred or transformed into Title 87 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.439 eight a Title forty two, of course, being the health policy related to 88 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:21.240 COVID, Title eight being the longstanding immigration policy that now will govern how people 89 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:25.040 are allowed to come into the country. Are you seeing the crush of migrants 90 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.879 there that we were reported were expected earlier this week? Well, yeah, 91 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.319 I guess you could call it a crush. There are a lot of people, 92 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.399 but it's being done in an orderly way. Last night, it was 93 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:39.600 that one of the gates. There is a giant fence that separates Huaras, 94 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:45.319 Mexico from El Paso, Texas, steel tall, thirty forty foot tall fence 95 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.160 that you can see through, and there are gates in this fence. I 96 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.720 was at Gate number forty two last night. It was open. Customs officials 97 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:56.600 were there Texas Department of Public Safety. People were being put onto buses from 98 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.920 the other side of the fence, taken to a Immigrations and Customs Enforcement ICE 99 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:06.279 processing facility and either allowed to stay in this country to continue the immigration the 100 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:11.680 asylum application process, or we're sent back down into Mexico. So yeah, 101 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.519 there were you know, those buses were running last night, and you know, 102 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.160 so it was it a crush of people. It was several hundred and 103 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.240 there are undoubtedly many more than that waiting to come into the country and make 104 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:28.759 application. Veteran reporter Jim Ryan is at Gate forty two for title forty two. 105 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.720 Well done, sir. I had to say, helps we keep it 106 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.399 all together in my head as we move forward? What you mentioned it was 107 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:39.720 very orderly local authorities there. What the reaction the prep that you saw this 108 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.560 week. Is everything going as smoothly as hoped? Well? I think it 109 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.000 is. Yeah. I mean in a place here like El Paso, which 110 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.279 has been you know, it has been you know, facilitating the immigration process 111 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:54.160 for decades really and dealing with the with the illegal immigration as well, so 112 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.639 it has a pretty good handle on how to handle these things. And so 113 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.519 a couple of weeks ago, the Urgency Declaration went into effect for El Paso 114 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.279 that allowed for funds to be used to set up shelters for people to stay 115 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.079 in for twenty four to seventy two hours as they await their next step. 116 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.639 You know, people come into the country are supposed to have either a financial 117 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.759 sponsor a family member, a place to go, you know the words. 118 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.879 Once they're here, they can't just be put out on the streets and told 119 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.120 to fend for themselves. So people are staying in these shelters that were established 120 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:31.680 here in El Paso, so that in that way it is an orderly process 121 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.480 and the city was prepared for it. Where they prepared for thousands of people? 122 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.759 Probably not, but you know that there are other mechanisms in place to 123 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.159 try to facilitate this surge in people. So when you say they have to 124 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.519 have someplace to go, I understand that the sponsorship. But if they don't, 125 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.600 are there temporary situations set up? Are they like are they using like 126 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.279 vacant buildings or retrofitting industry? Okay, yeah, that's exactly what happened with 127 00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:00.879 these these two vacant schools here in El Paso. And there's all so setting 128 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.720 aside part of the convention center, which often happens in the event of flooding 129 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.600 or you know, if if there's a hurricane somewhere, people are going to 130 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.000 be moved into convention centers. That's what's happening here. So's it's almost like 131 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.480 a natural disaster response in that shelters have been set up using FEMA funds where 132 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.279 people are gonna be housed and fed and clothed and where they can wait. 133 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.399 You know, there is a Wi Fi access there. How is everybody coming 134 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.480 up from Latin America. You think of people who have just about nothing, 135 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.519 but most of them do have smartphones. And that's why Customs and Border Protection 136 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:37.440 has this phone app that people must use to make initial application where before they 137 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.799 even make it to the United States. It's a glitchy app. People say 138 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:43.960 it's not reliable. I actually downloaded last night's my phone to see if it 139 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.519 did work, and and it seems to at least it seems they've worked out 140 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.840 some of the bugs. Well that was my follow up too. But when 141 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.840 you have to have a phone app in order to help you ease your process 142 00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:58.600 through, you have to be able to charge that phone as well. Are 143 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:05.440 those kind situations there too, Yes, Yeah, these these facilities are pretty 144 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.960 well equipped, these short term housing facilities, the shelters, at least here 145 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:11.679 in El Paso. There may be a different story in about a Morris, 146 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.919 may be a different story in Laredo or in Santa Cedro or somewhere else, 147 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:22.120 but at least here in El Paso, they have a pretty streamlined process for 148 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.519 facilitating this process. Any nootally speaking, is it looked like today is typical 149 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.399 of what you expect over the weekend, At least in El Paso it seems 150 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:35.759 to be. And some customs officials though, said yesterday that based on what 151 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.679 they're hearing from migrants who are coming up, the big surge probably has happened 152 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.679 already. Yeah, we're going to have big numbers today and tomorrow and probably 153 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.919 into next week. The expectation is that they may start to drop off. 154 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.440 A lot of these folks have been told by custom by smugglers and coyotes that 155 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.200 once Title forty two goes away, all bets are off. You just walk 156 00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.399 into the country and not be or for any means. Obviously, those people 157 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.600 have a vested interest of financial interest in making sure that that that lie is 158 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.200 believed, because once you do make it here, you could be arrested for 159 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.240 coming through between the border checkpoints or if you don't have proper road dentification. 160 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.360 Jim, thank you soo much for your time this morning. Thanks a lot. 161 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.080 We've been speaking with ABC's Jim Ryan, like I said, veteran reporter. 162 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.240 They send him out for the big stuff, and he's down to El 163 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.480 Paso, Texas at the end of Title forty two, the restart of Title 164 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.080 eight when it comes to immigration into the United States, and he's monitoring the 165 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.759 border. The administration was ready for what they called a chaotic crush at the 166 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:37.639 border. Turns out that didn't really happen. It seems like much of the 167 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:43.080 sturge they did expect happened earlier this week. Let's get back to some of 168 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.399 the stories coming out of the KFI HAD twenty four hour newsroom. A pedestrian 169 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.679 has been killed by a hit and run driver in Palmdale. It happened around 170 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:54.759 eleven thirty last night at twentieth Street and West Avenue N thehpiece as the car 171 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.960 is a two thousand and nine four door dark gray Honda Civic with California play 172 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.679 at least one because that ends in zero four seven. The car lost its 173 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:09.159 front plate and its front bumper and a windshield wiper in the collision. Transportation 174 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:15.240 Secretary Pete Bodhaja says Tesla should not call it's partially automated driving system autopilot because 175 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.080 the cars cannot drive themselves. He says he's concerned about Tesla's marketing as a 176 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.840 system is under investigation for crashes that have caused at least fourteen deaths since twenty 177 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.519 sixteen. Also from Tesla this morning, the company is recalling virtually every car 178 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.200 it has sold in China due to a breaking and acceleration defect. It may 179 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:39.279 increase crash and safety risks. When we come back, we're gonna talk economics 180 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.200 and business. We're gonna get a fly over this week's headlines with ABC's Caleb 181 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.600 Silver. He's going to be on the line with us as well. We're 182 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.600 gonna catch up on jobs, inflation, and possibly that new leader at Twitter. 183 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.639 You're listening to Wake Up Call with Jennifer Jones Lee on demand from KF 184 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.000 five am six forty. My name is Jason Middleton. I am in today 185 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:03.080 Friday May twelve for Jennifer. She is at the rodeo this week. And 186 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.960 also don't forget Mother's Days coming up in a couple of days, So I 187 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.440 just want to just keep that top of mind as you get your day going 188 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.159 this morning. Here's some of the stories we're watching in the KFI twenty four 189 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.320 hour Newsroom, The immigration policy known as Title forty two has officially expired. 190 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.399 The COVID Arab restrictions ended last night just before midnight Eastern time. The policy 191 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.360 did allow for migrants to be turned away at the US southern border to slow 192 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.759 the spread of COVID nineteen. We just spoke with ABC's Jim Ryan. He 193 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.159 is in El Paso, Texas. Seems like there's not so much chaos as 194 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.480 there is, just people getting used to the new normal. Going back to 195 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:43.000 Title eight, the US veteran who allegedly killed a homeless man in a New 196 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.840 York subway will turn himself in today. Daniel Penny is being charged with second 197 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.159 degree manslaughter for the death of Jordan Neely on May first, aboard a Manhattan 198 00:13:52.279 --> 00:14:00.120 subway train. San Jose police are revealing how they stopped a potential tragedy. 199 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.360 Officers say they found more than one hundred pounds of bomb making materials inside a 200 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.120 man's home and business. It happened Monday while they were checking out a burglary 201 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:15.440 report at a building near the one on one right there in the South Bay 202 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.759 at thirty five. We're going to have Dean sharp. Of course, the 203 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.840 house whisperer. Today's topics for Dean include not one two kitchen transforming appliances, 204 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.759 and we're going to wander out onto the patio a little bit as well. 205 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.519 With Dean. Right now, let's welcome ABC News contributor Caleb Silver. He's 206 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.120 also the editor in chief at investopedia dot com. Good morning, Caleb, 207 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.039 Thanks for joining us. Good to be with you. I'm going to come 208 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.639 back to Investopedia. I have a rap for that real quick for you. 209 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.679 But first let's have a let's say, have a job's report. Well, 210 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:48.960 we have jobs and inflation. Where do you want to start which one? 211 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.480 Well, we could start with both. But the most recent numbers are those 212 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.440 weekly jobless claims that we got yesterday. That was two hundred and sixty four 213 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.679 thousand people filing for weekly unemployment claims. That is a number we haven't seen 214 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.320 in quite a while. That's been rising every month pretty steadily. That said, 215 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.440 we're still adding more jobs than those that are coming out of the workforce. 216 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.879 If you see that unemployment rate, that's around three point four percent. 217 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.000 That's but there have been mounting layoffs in tech, there have been mounting layoffs 218 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.480 in the financial industry, in retail, so we got to keep an eye 219 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.679 on that. Still, the unemployment rate very low and a lot of jobs 220 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:24.120 out there for folks looking for jobs. It's it's kind of iffy math when 221 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.159 it comes to a possible recession. When you have a labor market that's so 222 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:31.320 strong, strong as it's been in fifty years. What are you specifically pulling 223 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:37.039 out? I'm personally I'm watching you wage increase in percentage as opposed to inflation 224 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.159 to keep pace. What is something you like to pull out? Yeah, 225 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.799 well, I think wage inflation is a pretty important one to watch because we've 226 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.159 seen it climb pretty steadily month after month. Now it is slowing. It's 227 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.039 around four point four percent year over year. But the Federal Reserve, our 228 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.600 central bank, wants to slow that down even more. Why because if companies 229 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.039 have to pay higher wages, then companies are going to pass the higher costs 230 00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.440 onto the consumer, and that could cause a pause in consumer we're spending, 231 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.399 or a pullback, and that could really set the economy into a tailspen. 232 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.480 We know it's seventy percent of our US GDP, so it's this very weird 233 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:08.879 thing where we continue to spend. Credit card debt is rising it's at a 234 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.960 record level, credit card aprs are at record levels just because of those high 235 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.639 interest rates, and there's still a high labor market. But other signs are 236 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.559 showing us such a potential recession of very peculiar time in the economy. Indeed, 237 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.879 and you mentioned the sticky inflation going on, there is there a reason 238 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.080 that stands out to you as to why it's being so sticky. Is it 239 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:33.120 because the wage increases are keeping everything kind of elevated, or is it that 240 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.080 we have cleared the supply chain issues we were so used to after COVID, 241 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.759 and maybe retailers and other people who set prices are getting used to the idea 242 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.919 that those prices have to come down. Finally, Yeah, I think it's 243 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.120 a little bit of both of those things, because we definitely cleared it. 244 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.480 But don't forget we've changed the way we behave as consumers as well. Over 245 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.240 the last three years, we've been through a lot. We went for not 246 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.080 spending anything and saving a lot of money. The savings rate was at an 247 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.720 all time high, to all of a sudden being able to spend and revenge 248 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.200 spend on travel and going out and eating out a lot more, while prices 249 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.680 were rising for consumers the whole time. We got used to the sort of 250 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:10.599 steady state of high prices and dealing with it. But because of that, 251 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.680 we are pushing our credit to the limits here because we're borrowing a lot of 252 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.960 money. Now, we're not in extreme levels like we were back in two 253 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.759 thousand and eight. Consumers in a little bit better shape. Banks are in 254 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.559 better shape, despite the fact that we've lost a few lately. That said, 255 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.519 you know, we are maybe on this unsustainable pattern, just like the 256 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.160 United States government, which is coming up against the debt ceiling. Yeah, 257 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.200 let's stay right there then, because I like nerding out with you on this 258 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:33.599 stuff, and the debt ceiling is definitely top of mind for economics and business 259 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:38.160 coverage. What's the latest the ec Yeah, I mean, we're in a 260 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.920 standoff here, and the Treasury Secretary Jenniellinis says, June first is the deadline 261 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.000 where the United States government will not be able to pay its bills. Look, 262 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.000 raving being able to pay our bills for quite a while. We just 263 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.119 keep borrowing and extending the deadline. Thirty one point four trillion dollars in debt. 264 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.559 Don't worry about that. But that's the day that some government services are 265 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:57.799 going to have to get suspended. That's the day that maybe we don't have 266 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:03.359 to suspend Social Security checks and medicare at tracks going out. Also, national 267 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:06.680 parks might have to close. But even worse than all of that is the 268 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.720 threat of a debt downgrade, a credit down grade. So the United States 269 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:12.839 finances all this money we borrow through selling our government bonds, and they have 270 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:18.839 a widely held, widely trusted asset held by governments around the world. If 271 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.000 we default on our debt and we get a credit downrating, the yields on 272 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.240 those bonds is going to go, but it's going to make the prices fall 273 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.519 for those people who are holding our bonds. That's also going to help drive 274 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.400 interest rates even higher for the things we borrow against as consumers in this country. 275 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.279 So it is a bad scenario and they have to find a way to 276 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.440 either kick the can down the road or find another solution. Yeah, we're 277 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.240 speaking with ABC News contributor Caleb Silver, he's also editor in chief at investopedia 278 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.799 dot com. We talked about right there the debt ceiling. Now the X 279 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.960 day, the day of default kind of floats a little bit, but the 280 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:55.359 predictions of the repercussions of actually defaulting range a little bit. Do you have 281 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.240 a take on what you think the range would be. What are some initial 282 00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:03.359 responses financially speaking? Yeah, well, I mentioned that the suspension of government 283 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.640 services that's no fun, and potential furloughing of government employees. There are a 284 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:10.359 lot of government employees in this country. Usually they get paid back, you 285 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:11.519 know, they get their back pay, but it's no fund for families that 286 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.880 are counting on those paychecks. That's on the ground level there, But on 287 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.920 the debt level of having our credit rating downgraded, that has very serious implications. 288 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:23.319 And that's why you're hearing not just politicians make noise about it, but 289 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:27.119 the biggest CEOs are the biggest banks in the world, because they know how 290 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:30.519 important it is to have a stable credit rating on US government bonds. That 291 00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.079 is everything, right, that is the bedrock of how we finance our governments. 292 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:38.000 Ince Alexander Hamilton was around back in the day. So if that rate, 293 00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:42.880 if we get a downgrade there, and that yields on those bond spike, 294 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:48.400 it is going to be tumultuous for the economy and for capital markets and 295 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.400 for whoever's holding our debt. I use the bedrock term as well in my 296 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.559 coverage because it's a twenty four trillion dollar market. A lot of other governments 297 00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.119 are pegged too that those tea bills. So thank for using I just I 298 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.480 like the reinforcement of hearing that it is a bedrock thing. So this is 299 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.640 not just something that causes us some federal employee layoffs. That could be something 300 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:12.119 bigger. Let's get a tech Let's get a tech headline this morning. You 301 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.039 know when I went to bed last night, Oliver Bloomberg was all about Elon 302 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.160 Musk. I get up this morning and I have to do a search to 303 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.799 find it. What's going on with Elon Musk and the CEO news. Yeah, 304 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.079 Elon Musk tweeting last night that he has found a replacement for him as 305 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.799 CEO of Twitter, and she, he says in the tweet, we'll be 306 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.960 starting within the next six weeks. Now, this morning, the Wall Street 307 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.680 Journals reporting that person could be Linda Yaccarino. I hope I'm saying that right. 308 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.960 She is the chair of Global Advertising and Partnerships at NBC Universal. That's 309 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.759 what the Wall Street Journals reporting. No comment from her or her team or 310 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.880 the NBC team yet, but that's what's out there at the moment. We'll 311 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.839 see if that remains true. Interesting that he has found the replacement. Interesting 312 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.720 that it is if it is this woman, indeed somebody from the advertising business, 313 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:02.319 because don't forget Twitter is an advertiseis delivery mechanism? Yes, exactly. 314 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:07.000 You didn't forget that. I didn't forget that. Elon forgot that apparently when 315 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:08.839 he first came on, I think. But that's that goes back to my 316 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.119 other show. He also, don't forget tweeted that his new CEO was going 317 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.680 to be his dog. So until I see it for sure, we're gonna 318 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.519 have to wait. But you you did say her name right. I was 319 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:21.279 at NBC for a while and it is Yacarino, So you nailed that. 320 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:26.720 Investopedia dot com is to me a bedrock source. How long have you been 321 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:29.799 working with investopedia dot com and there any features you want to pull out in 322 00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.079 the last thirty seconds, I have you.

I have been using your other feature and 334 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.519 other feature with your simulator. I started on January two of this year with 335 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.079 a with a fake hundred thousand dollars. It's where you can you have a 336 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.079 small account and you can you can do it. You can invest fake money 337 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.960 if you will. You're gamifying everything. I'm up eighteen percent on the year 338 00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:30.480 so far this year. Thanks for enabling me, Caleb. You're welcome and 339 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.519 can I sign up with your advisory service? Sounds like you know what you're 340 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.440 doing. Well yeah, yeah, Well, what I love about your simulator 341 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:40.400 is if you get into the game, and you want to try out some 342 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:41.759 different stocks. You can't have too many blue chips. You have to take 343 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.640 some risks here and there, which is kind of fun. So anyway, 344 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.759 it's always a pleasure to speak with you to learn on that similar and we 345 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.519 have one for crypto as well, so play without it. Oh yeah, 346 00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:52.799 it's definitely a blind spot. Thanks a lot, Caleb, I'll talk to 347 00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:57.079 you next time. Thank you. ABC News contributor Caleb Silver, also of 348 00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:00.680 course with investopedia dot com. Let's get back to the newsroom for a couple 349 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.039 of quick stories. Some fire departments in La County have been honored for their 350 00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:08.279 help after the fatal mass shooting of eleven people at a dance hall in Monterey 351 00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:12.319 Park. At one point, Monterey Park Fire Chief Matt Halleck choked up reliving 352 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:15.839 the night of January twenty first. This was and is a day none of 353 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.839 us will ever forget. That tragic evening. The city of Monterrey Park was 354 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.920 put on the map for all the wrong reasons. It is the collaboration and 355 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.519 support from the fire departments within this area that put the region on the map 356 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:29.519 for all the right reasons. Alex has many more lives were saved because of 357 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.440 the mutual aid set up among the area's twenty nine fire departments. Yesterday, 358 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.759 Halleck recognized South Pasadena, Glendale, LA City County, San Gabriel, Alhambran 359 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:42.400 Arcadia in downtown LA Steve Gregory KAI News get our first look at weather right 360 00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:47.960 now. Southern California weather from KFI sunny today after these morning clouds move out 361 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.000 and the fog burns off, as from the mid to upper sixties at the 362 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.839 beaches to the lower to mid seventies inland and on the eastern end of the 363 00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.839 San Fernando Valley, highs are going to hit eighty and Santa Clarita Valley of 364 00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.039 or Inland Valleys about eighty five today could be the high Tonight, mostly clear 365 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:07.480 across the south Land, lows in the low to mid fifties. Tomorrow is 366 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.799 a sunshine rinse repeat with only slightly warmer temperatures. And when we come back, 367 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:17.160 we are going to talk with house whisperer Dean Sharp, some household appliance 368 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.000 stuff, some patio talk, and I'm going to quiz him on how to 369 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:25.079 spell something. You're listening to Wake Up Call with Jennifer Jones Lee on Demand 370 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:27.960 from KFI AM six forty. I am Jason Middleton. This is wake up 371 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:32.960 call. Today is Friday, May the twelfth. Sunday May fourteenth is Mother's 372 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.440 Day. You're almost caught up. A YouTuber is now facing up to twenty 373 00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:41.759 years in federal prison after admitting to intentionally crashing his plane into a hillside in 374 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.279 Santa Barbara County to get views online. On Wednesday, twenty nine year old 375 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.640 Trevor Jacob pleaded guilty to a felony account of obstructing a federal investigation. The 376 00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:55.759 twenty twenty one video called I Crashed My Airplane shows Jacob parachuting out of a 377 00:24:55.799 --> 00:25:00.279 small plane before it crashed into the lost Los Padres National Force near Santa Maria. 378 00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:04.680 Migrants who are seeking asylum in the US are getting immigration court dates more 379 00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:10.640 than a dozen years out. Some migrants who arrived at Brownsville, Texas yesterday 380 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:14.880 were given immigration court dates as late as twenty thirty two and twenty thirty five. 381 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:18.960 Those have been happening at Chicago and Florida as well. President Biden's national 382 00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:25.519 security adviser and Channa's China's top diplomat agree on the need for two superpowers to 383 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:29.519 move past the alleged spy balloon incident. Earlier this year. Jake Sullivan and 384 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.039 Chinese diplomat Wang Yee met for eight hours over the past two days in Vienna. 385 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.200 At five fifty, we're gonna end wake Up Call with ABC's Jason Nathanson 386 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:40.640 and get an entertainment report as we head into the weekend. I mentioned that 387 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:44.279 Jane Fonda movie at the top of the hour, The Air movie about the 388 00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.319 Air. Jordan's that's going to migrate to Prime video. I believe that's Tuesday, 389 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.319 and we're gonna have some other entertainee kind of stuff right now. Let's 390 00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:55.839 dig into the great indoors and outdoors with Dean Sharp. He's the house whisperer. 391 00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:57.759 He's also the man with the plan. Okay, let me let me 392 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.920 tie this up. Twenty first century technology, a quantum leap ahead for consumers, 393 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.599 new industry standard, and I'm not talking about AI. I don't mean 394 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:10.319 a new iPhone. I want to talk to Dean Sharp about the ge all 395 00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:14.400 in one washer dryer. Dean, welcome back. Okay, Jason, how 396 00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:15.799 are you doing? But it's good to hear your voice. I was compelled 397 00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.160 by this. I've been doing my own research. I hate to do that 398 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.799 first person's thing, but I think we all kind of this time of year 399 00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:25.200 looked to upgrade certain things. Kitchens are definitely part of it. What do 400 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:29.440 you have with this all in one? I'm dubious. Yeah, well you 401 00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:33.119 should be dubious, absolutely, because all in one washers and dryers have been 402 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:41.440 around forever and this reviewer's opinion is they all pretty much suck. But but 403 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.359 Ge released this. We saw this at the Builder Show this year, and 404 00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.920 we heard rumors that it was coming. It is now out there. You 405 00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.920 can actually get your hands on one, and I gotta tell you if it 406 00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:59.359 does everything that we expected to do. And the reviews, the early reviews 407 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:03.880 are looking very promising. Jason, this actually may not just be an all 408 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:10.319 in one washer dryer that doesn't suck. It may actually turn the industry. 409 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:14.880 It may it literally may be a sea change for the industry. And the 410 00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:19.759 main reason is the dryer side of this is they have abandoned the idea and 411 00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:26.599 this is brilliant on Gee's part. They've abandoned the idea of baking clothes. 412 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:29.839 Okay, that's basically what a dryer is. You know, you get to 413 00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:33.319 a gas dryer, or you pull a lot of waddage through an electric dryer 414 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.880 and you get a lot of heat inside the dryer and not so much airflow. 415 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.519 And you know, I was talking to Conway about this the other day. 416 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:47.200 None of us probably have much experience hanging clothes out on a clothesline. 417 00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.279 But if we were to ask, like great Grandma what that was all about, 418 00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:52.759 she would tell us that, you know, it could be one hundred 419 00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.440 degrees outside and if there's no wind, those clothes are staying wet for a 420 00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.160 long time. But even on a cold day, if the breeze is blowing, 421 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:04.880 boom, they get dry fast. So what GE has done is they 422 00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.640 it's warm air. It's definitely warm air. They're using a heat pump technology, 423 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:14.559 and heat pump is basically how your air conditioner works to extract moisture from 424 00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:18.359 the air. But a big fan, a big fan to create a lot 425 00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:23.960 of airflow in there, and it would appear as if it makes this dryer 426 00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:27.880 actually work. It's all the difference. So we're talking about a two hour 427 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:32.640 cycle from beginning to end for most loads, a little longer for the heavy 428 00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:34.720 duty stuff. And the other thing is too, this is a full size 429 00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.519 washer dryer combo. Now it's not the extra large, but it's full size, 430 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:44.440 so it'll take ten pounds of laundry in it per load. And the 431 00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.480 fact of the matter is one of these is the equivalent of two, you 432 00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.119 know, a standard washer and dryer. You get two of these side by 433 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.359 side, you've doubled the size of your laundry room without changing the space. 434 00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.279 Well, that depends on the price point, Dudan. The price point point 435 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.640 from ge is twenty eight hundred dollars, which is the price that you're going 436 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:08.720 to pay for a decent set a washer and dryer set. Okay, so 437 00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:11.119 you know it would be a splurge to get two of them, But the 438 00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.480 fact of the matter is you'll come in just a little bit under on this 439 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:19.920 machine then you would buying a brand new washer and dryer set. And you 440 00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:25.359 know you'll use half the space. No vent, no dryer vent, no 441 00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:32.200 gas hookup. It will plug into a standard fifteen amp outlet anywhere in the 442 00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:36.440 house. All you need is the drain and the water supply to it. 443 00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:40.160 Wow. Okay, so yeah, you're right. This could stand everything on 444 00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:44.319 its head. Because I just assumed all those are Coudremont were necessary to get 445 00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.079 this thing to run. So wow, what about finesse cycles? Can I 446 00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:51.079 do? Like some delicates in there, you can do. You can do 447 00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:56.440 all the finesse cycles. You can even add laundry sheets if you want. 448 00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:59.799 If you're a if you're a laundry sheet person, what it's going to do 449 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.480 if you to notify you, you can notify you. It will either buzz 450 00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:08.480 or chime or notify you on your smart device. After the wash is done 451 00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:12.480 and before the dryer starts, you get a ten minute gap where you can 452 00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.559 run over there, grab the door, open it up and throw in dryer 453 00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:22.960 sheets. Otherwise it'll just keep on rolling forward. It takes liquid fabric softener 454 00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:29.759 and liquid detergent reservoir inside up to thirty two loads worth, so not a 455 00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.240 lot of fiddling around with it, you know. And it's it's a brilliant, 456 00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:40.039 brilliant setup for a machine. Like I said, it stands a little 457 00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:42.319 taller than your standard washer and dryer, about forty seven inches tall, and 458 00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:45.480 there's a pedestal that brings it up even a little higher if you want to 459 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:52.200 just get you know, direct access without bending over. Ge has estimated and 460 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.839 I think this is this has got to be fairly accurate. GEE has done 461 00:30:55.839 --> 00:31:00.119 their own internal studies and they said, you know, the average time in 462 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:04.160 North America that a load of laundry sits in the washing machine after it's done 463 00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:08.759 and before it gets put in the dryer is about a hundred and thirty minutes, 464 00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:15.359 like two hours. And I would say around my house that's probably conservative, 465 00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:18.119 because you know, we'll pop a load in, we're like, oh 466 00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.960 yeah, oh yeah, we're gonna flip that over, right. So the 467 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:25.720 idea of something that just takes you all the way to the end in two 468 00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:29.960 two and a half hours, it's a pretty efficient concept done. So, 469 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.799 like I said, we're still waiting for the mass reviews to come in, 470 00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:37.279 but I'll tell you right now, already most places are back ordered on this 471 00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:41.319 machine. And if it does even half of what it's promising, I think 472 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.400 it's going to turn the industry on edge. Okay, I appreciate that, 473 00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.799 and I want to nerd out a little bit harder on this. But I've 474 00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.240 got another appliance I want to ask about, because if that's transformational, I'm 475 00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:55.960 going to ask about one more indoor thing. In an outdoor thing, are 476 00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:02.039 garbage disposals also due for an upgrade. Right, Yeah, garbage disposals or 477 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:07.480 something in my opinion as a builder and a designer, that we shouldn't even 478 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.319 be messing with. In the United States, we have more garbage disposals than 479 00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.359 anybody in the world. They've been outlawed throughout most of Europe. Canada only 480 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:20.720 about five percent of the population has a garbage disposal. And here's the problem 481 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:28.160 with garbage disposal. It's lazy and it hurts our infrastructure. Macerating food down 482 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.960 the garbage disposal and then putting that slime and that sledge down into our own 483 00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:37.119 drain pipes and the city sewer lines. It's not a good thing. It 484 00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:43.160 prematurely ages causes all sorts of issues and problems that let alone biological issues when 485 00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.519 the drains, you know, flush out to the ocean. So that's one 486 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:52.480 thing. Also in southern California, most municipalities now have you divided up with 487 00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:54.720 your garbage, you know, Now we're we got a compost bin, we 488 00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:59.400 got the regular garbage bin, all of this kind of stuff. So yeah, 489 00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:04.200 instead of the garbage disposal, this is a pre order appliance. We 490 00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:08.799 saw this at the Builder Show again from Suppora. It is a. I 491 00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:12.839 don't even know exactly what to call it, but essentially it takes the place 492 00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:19.160 of the garbage disposal. You can still practice your old habits of scraping food 493 00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:23.200 down the drain. The difference is this doesn't masserate them. You hit the 494 00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:30.799 button and a large auger bit or what some people might call an Archimedes screw, 495 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:35.079 basically takes all that food, moves it to the side in the drain, 496 00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:40.400 and dumps it into a compost canister under the sink. Wow. Okay, 497 00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:45.720 visualizing the Archimedes screw in my kitchen, and I'm kind of liking the 498 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:51.000 idea. I have to say, it's very it's actually very cool. Everything 499 00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:53.440 else drains straight through, but once you've got solid foods in there, you 500 00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:57.839 just hit the button. It just takes it and pushes it aside. And 501 00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:01.160 it's this way. You don't have a compost bin on your countertop, you 502 00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:06.640 don't have to have an extra bin next to your waste basket. You're still 503 00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:09.159 going to be taking it out to the trash because that's the way things are 504 00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:13.400 done these days. But this does it automatically for you, stores it in 505 00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:16.599 large quantities, filtered underneath the sink and when it's full. Lets you know, 506 00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:19.440 and you know, you just walk it out to the trash game. 507 00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.920 Very cool and that company is supera by the way, sep U r A. 508 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:27.280 If you go to Spora, you're going to have a different retail experience, 509 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.199 very very different. Quick outdoor question for you, if we want to 510 00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:36.719 update outside patios and patio risers. Now, this also seems like something that 511 00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:38.880 we may not think about every day, but maybe do for an updateing. 512 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:45.000 Yeah, this is not something people think about all the time. You know, 513 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:50.159 you're looking to build an awning or some kind of patio cover off the 514 00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:54.320 side of the house. Strangely enough, they're super common, and yet they 515 00:34:54.360 --> 00:35:00.480 are so problematic when it comes to the actual construction of a house. Where 516 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:04.119 are you going to mount this thing? If you mount your patio cover at 517 00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:07.480 the level of your facial boarder where your roof rafters or eves come down, 518 00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.679 it's too low. It's gonna be too low. You're gonna feel like you're 519 00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:15.599 walking under this low ceiling. If you mount it further up on the roof, 520 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:20.679 now you are interrupting the water flow the rainshed off your roof. You're 521 00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:25.119 kind of potentially be causing leaks a plus, you're exposing that wood to direct 522 00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:30.159 moisture that is running down. I mean, it's just it has always been 523 00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:34.599 a hassle. So this for most people may not feel like the game changer 524 00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:38.480 that it is. But there's a little company called Patio Roofreiser. You can 525 00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:44.719 find them at patio roofreiser dot com. They have spent their lives kind of 526 00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:52.440 perfecting this hardware. It is a tiny piece of very very structural hardware attractive 527 00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:57.679 also that mounts into the eve of your roof and allows you to build as 528 00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:01.880 big of a patio cover off the side of your house as you want with 529 00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:08.440 virtually zero chance of it leaking. It holds all of the wood above the 530 00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:14.559 roofline very attractively, so none of it gets exposed, none of it collects 531 00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:22.159 leaves or water or rot. It's really again another game changer, outstanding. 532 00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:25.800 Three game changers in one morning with Dean Sharp on the House Whisper on a 533 00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:29.880 Friday morning.

My name 538 00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.280 is Jason Middleton. A couple of quick headlines, and then we're talking to 539 00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.559 Jason Nathanson about the weekend entertainment. No major damage so far from a five 540 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:58.559 point five earthquake in northern California struck Plumas County yesterday at the bottom of Lake 541 00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:02.519 Almanor. Forty two is over. Title eight is back as an immigration policy. 542 00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:05.960 We're gonna have more on that change over in just a few minutes. 543 00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:10.320 A California zoo Zoo is sharing the first look at its new Jaguar. The 544 00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:13.840 eleven year old cat has made its way across the state. He was born 545 00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:17.719 in San Diego, raised in Sacramento, now lives in San Francisco. Five 546 00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:22.519 fifty five On your wake Up Call, ABC's Jason Nathanson is on the line. 547 00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.079 Good morny, Jason, Hey, good morning. Let's start with book 548 00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:27.800 club because it's Mother's Day weekend. Is this a good one? Yeah? 549 00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:30.679 I think it's a good one for Mother's Day weekend. I think they know 550 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:32.960 what they're doing when they scheduled it for this weekend. It's the sequel to 551 00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.440 this is book Club, the next chapter. It's a sequel two book Club, 552 00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:40.079 which came out a couple of years ago, starring Diane Keaton, Jane 553 00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:44.480 Fonda, Marystein Bergin, and Candice Bergen. That one made one hundred and 554 00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:47.639 four million dollars worldwide, so it did pretty decently on something that you know, 555 00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:53.079 wasn't very expensive to make. This time around, I think they decided, 556 00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:55.440 Hey, if we're gonna do this again, let's go to Italy. 557 00:37:55.960 --> 00:38:00.960 So that's why they go to Italy. In the movie, there's a bachelorette 558 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:05.840 party and you kind of follow them around Rome and Venice, which is you 559 00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:08.320 know, if you're a fan of those cities, you get to see them. 560 00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:13.760 You know, they're very beautifully shot, and there's actually some really funny 561 00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:17.960 jokes in this. I you know, wasn't expecting to really laugh because we've 562 00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:22.880 seen you know, the original one was was fine, and then a couple 563 00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:28.400 months ago we saw eighty for Brady Right, which is kind of the same 564 00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:34.440 ish thing that start Jane Fonda and three others. This is a different cast, 565 00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:37.880 of course, but Jane Fonda is included, but it's you know, 566 00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.840 kind of similar issues and stuff. Eighty for Brady was not I think, 567 00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:45.400 you know, overall, very good film. This is I think much better, 568 00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:52.239 but also much funnier. Surprisingly some of the jokes that are really racy, 569 00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:55.360 which I really appreciated. So you got it's got that going for. 570 00:38:55.440 --> 00:39:00.679 It's got the beautiful scenery of Italy. Italy a very popular place to film 571 00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:05.280 during the pandemic because things were a little bit more open there, uh during 572 00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:08.760 that time. And while they were filming this there also the next Fast and 573 00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:13.599 Furious movie was filming at the same time in Rome. They were both filming 574 00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:16.159 on the streets of Rome at the same time, very two very different movies, 575 00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:21.360 far fewer car chases and book say, I kind of smell a mashup. 576 00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:23.440 I'm sorry, but you know I would I would love to see a 577 00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:27.599 mashup. I think that would be fantastic. My producer brain likes the production 578 00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:30.639 line and costs on that one. But but you don't get that here. 579 00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:34.840 You just you just have the four of them. There's no Vin Diesel. 580 00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:37.960 But you know, I think for a Mother's Day weekend, I think it's 581 00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:42.280 gonna be, you know, decently successful. It's not going to be Guardians 582 00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:46.000 of the Galaxy the Second Guardian that was a two and a half hour grief 583 00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:50.760 fast. Okay, uh must see for gen xers this weekend. Muppets Mayhem. 584 00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:52.840 I gotta go quick because I want to get to this Muppets Mayhem, 585 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:54.960 which what's your take? Muppets Mayhem is on Disney Plus. It's a new 586 00:39:55.039 --> 00:40:00.360 show. It's about the the Doctor Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, which is 587 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:04.079 the house band for the Muppets, which some people I think I think you 588 00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:06.800 know, but you don't maybe don't really know. I think most people know. 589 00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:08.320 The Animal plays the drums, right, yeah, and that's where he's 590 00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:12.039 playing the drums, is in that band. This is all about this band 591 00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:15.239 making a new their first album. They've never made an album before. This 592 00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:21.119 is also surprisingly really funny. Some of the Muppets shows and stuff that they've 593 00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:24.159 done in the past recent years has been hit or miss, but I really 594 00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:29.440 like the humor here. A ton of amazing guest stars, from Morgan Freeman 595 00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:34.360 to Paula Abduel to weird al Billy Corgan from The Smashing Pumpkins shows up in 596 00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:37.800 the first episode, which was surprising to me. I didn't expect him to 597 00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:42.400 be in that world, but you know, everybody loves the Muppets, and 598 00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:45.360 I had a lot of fun with the series. Jason. I wish we 599 00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:46.360 had more time. It was my fault. I went a bit long a 600 00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:49.840 little bit earlier. But I'd love to talk with you next week. I'm 601 00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:52.000 going to be on next Friday, so let's try to do it and get 602 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:53.400 caught up on air and some other things too. Okay, all right, 603 00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:57.960 sounds good, Thank you, sir. ABC's Jason Nathanson right there.
