The San Bernardino 12 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.679 County Sheriff's Departments' deputies shop the teen Saturday afternoon after he came at them with 13 00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:00.079 a five foot long bladed gardening tool. His family had call deputies saying the 14 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.319 boy was attacking them and damaging property at the home. Kung fu panned that 15 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.799 chopped up the competition at the box office, taking in more than fifty eight 16 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.959 million dollars in its opening weekend.

Let's get started with some of the stories 21 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.359 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. Oppenheimer was the bell 22 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.560 of the ball at the Oscars.

The Holdovers 27 00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:00.280 star Divine Joy Randolph won Best Supporting Actress. It was her first nomination and 28 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:07.439 I loved her acceptance speech as she sat there, teared up and very blessed. 29 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.680 Not many controversies at this year's Oscars. I'm Steve Gregory. Despite two 30 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.759 high profile wars happening overseas, OSCAR winners didn't spend much time talking about it. 31 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.520 Jonathan Blazer won for Best International Film The Zone of Interest. He said, 32 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.039 they finished the film about the Holocaust just as the Warren Gaza began. 33 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.759 Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being 34 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.919 hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people, 35 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:36.000 whether the victims of October the Quite a few in the audience wore red with 36 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.800 hellpins to support a ceasefire and Gaza. Steve Gregory kay if I News. 37 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.520 John Sena took it all off as he and Jimmy Kimmel presented the award for 38 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.360 Best Costume Design. The two were doing a bit about a nude man running 39 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:52.400 across the stage when Sena appeared behind one of the props. He was wearing 40 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:57.439 just sandals and holding a card that covered his private parts. As the nominees 41 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.000 were read, Kimmel covered Sena with the toga. The award went to Poor 42 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.719 Things, A stretch of pch has been closed in Malibu because of a rock 43 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.360 slide. It was reported at late last night at Big Rock Drive. The 44 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.840 road was closed in both directions so Caltran's crews could clear the road. The 45 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.240 highway is still closed this morning because debris is still falling. A man in 46 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:22.280 Wilmington has been fatally shot by three guys who went to his home. Police 47 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.240 say the man in the house went outside last night, there was a confrontation, 48 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.639 and one guy shot him. Police say the shooter and the two others 49 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.520 then got into a car and drove off. The three are said to be 50 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:38.199 between fifteen and twenty years old. The Wall Street Journal says the Justice Department 51 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.319 has opened a criminal investigation into the Boeing jetliner blowout that left a giant hole 52 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.199 on an Alaska Airline's plane. ABC's Morgan Norwood says the hole was caused by 53 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:52.479 a door plug with missing bolts that blew off in January. The agency demanding 54 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:58.439 Boeing provide any production documents and information on the specific production shifts and the names 55 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.039 of the twenty five employees at Washington plant who worked on those bolts. Telling 56 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:08.840 a Senate Commerce committee last week, Boeing has yet to comply, She says, 57 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:15.479 the Justice Department was already investigating Boeing over two deadly seven thirty seven Max 58 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:21.879 crashes. Okay, we're waiting to hear from Geordana Miller, and while we 59 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:26.560 do that, let's check in with our very own Steve Gregory. Some some 60 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.839 people in the LA area have graduated from the first ever Native American Leadership Academy 61 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:36.879 at the LAPD. The rain didn't stop members of various tribes from accepting their 62 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:43.319 graduation certificates. The special academy is an eight week class geared to members of 63 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.519 the Native American Community Depity. Chief Don Graham's one of the organizers. LAPD 64 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.680 has been doing community academies for years in order to help bring together the community 65 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:57.839 and police officers from various aspects of the department to give them a realistic view 66 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.000 of what police do. Most people know policing from television. The ceremony last 67 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.959 Thursday night happened on the grass field of the main Police Academy in Alesian Park. 68 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.360 We wanted to bring them in and not just introduce them to what the 69 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.720 LAPD does, but introduce them to LAPD and humanized our officers. Despite the 70 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:23.399 chilly weather, participants showed up in their traditional dress, including Mama Pat I'm 71 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:28.439 Tiwa Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, born and raised in La on Indian relocation. 72 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:34.199 I learned about the many departments within the LAPD who have resources we could 73 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:41.680 tap into. That's what I learned, and I also learn on an individual 74 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.639 basis the kindness of the LAPD toward us and the interest that they have in 75 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.319 learning about us. Deputy Chief Graham said when he put this academy together, 76 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.120 he wanted to highlight transit, which is usually never brought up in citizens academies. 77 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.240 I wanted to make sure that we're focusing on communities that are not normally 78 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.839 seen, that we could bring them together with our partners at La Metro, 79 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.920 tell them about how to access the system, how to navigate the system, 80 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.480 about all the programs that are available to support maybe people with lower income. 81 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:16.000 And that was a big hit. Jennifer von Seka was one of the graduates. 82 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.879 I come from a hashumnation out of Orange County, out of the San 83 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:25.040 Juan campus. Rano, tell me something in your eight weeks that just blew 84 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.800 you away, that you learned or found out that you'd never even thought of. 85 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.120 Just something that you were like. You walked out of there shaking your 86 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.959 head, going, I had no idea. Oh gosh, I think that 87 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.839 was a little bit of every class. I didn't even realize that if a 88 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.439 person went missing. I always thought it was the old school rule of twenty 89 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.439 four hours that you had to wait depending on their age, and I didn't 90 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.319 realize that if you know that person's pattern, you could literally it doesn't matter 91 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:54.439 the age, you can literally report them missing right away. Pity Chief Graham 92 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.680 said there were a lot of aha moments on both sides of the table, 93 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.040 and he says it was one of the most valuable learning experiances of his career. 94 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.040 There are three hundred and thirty thousand Native Americans in the County of Los 95 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.959 Angeles. I was the captain of our North Hollywood division, and I am 96 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.759 ashamed to say I would have no idea where that community is in North Hollywood 97 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.959 area. After Mama Pat got her certificates, she shook hands with the LAPD 98 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.279 leadership and other VIPs, then showed off her certificates, smiling with pride. 99 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:26.279 The takeaway is that we are now high profile in our trauma, and through 100 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:32.600 this, hopefully more people will take note of those support systems that we desperately 101 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:38.800 need in our community. But now we have found this through our partnership with 102 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.680 the LAPD, and we are going forward. We will be silent no more. 103 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.680 We wake up. Call. I'm Steve Gregory, k if I News. 104 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:54.720 Thank you, Steve, and let's say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller 105 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:59.879 in Jerusalem. Jordana. Ramadan begins today and the hope was that there would 106 00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:05.279 be a ceasefire before the Holy month began. But that's not happening. That's 107 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:13.800 right, it's not happening. To great disappointments and Israel and what can you 108 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.800 hear me? Yeah, we got you back, Okay, there is no 109 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:26.000 ceasfire. Unfortunately, it appears, according to both US and Israeli officials that 110 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.319 Hamas here is the party that just couldn't show enough flexibility clothes to steal. 111 00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:37.440 They're still demanding the absolute end of the war and the withdrawal of all of 112 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.679 Israel's troops from the Godza Strip. We have to remember, those demands leave 113 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.720 Hamas in power and in control of the Goadza Strip, and that's why they 114 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.320 have put them on the table. And everybody knows that, and that is 115 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.679 those are demands are non starters books for the United States and for Israel, 116 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.440 because obviously the aim of this war and the reason the United States supports it 117 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.120 is because Hamas is a terrorist group that has run the Gaza Strip with an 118 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:16.399 iron fist and carried out these ghastly attacks on Israel and says they would repeat 119 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.720 them. So there's really no you know that there's no room for an accommodation 120 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.120 at the end of this where Hamas is somehow still in control or governing the 121 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.080 Gaza Strip. So it appears Hamas has chosen instead of giving some relief and 122 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.720 giving up just a small group of the hostages it's holding forty out of one 123 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:41.840 hundred and thirty, it has been to continue this war even through Ramadan, 124 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.159 the Muslim Hoymand, which starts started last night. Today's the first day, 125 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.519 okay. And I mean from all of our conversations that we've been having and 126 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.000 hearing all of this, I mean, it just sounds like I'm thinking, 127 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.919 there's the talks are going on, but it just sounds like both sides there's 128 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.639 so dug in that, like you just said, Hamas is still saying no 129 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.879 release until Israel stops the fighting and gets out, and Israel's saying the fighting 130 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.960 is not going to stop until the hostages are released. So where how do 131 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:20.720 they even start to find middle ground? Right? I mean, unfortunately, 132 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.799 I think a lot of people are coming to the conclusion that, you know, 133 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:31.279 maybe it's going to take more weeks of war and more military pressure on 134 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:41.879 Hamas to finally make a deal, or perhaps Hamas will go down they perhaps 135 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:48.559 they prefer to go down in fighting and die as quote unquote martyrs, you 136 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:54.080 know, and and sadly, you know, in that scenario, it's unclear 137 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.200 how many of those hostages would come out alive. Right, there's one hundred 138 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:05.759 and thirty two, So that's one hundred other hostages. I think you said 139 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.600 those are still alive. You said there was one hundred and thirty two, 140 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.600 and we know that about thirty are dead. You cut out for a second. 141 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.720 That's great, Yes, we know that thirty are dead. Okay. 142 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.919 And now with Ramadan getting underway, there are some new risks. We're hearing 143 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:28.519 some rumbling that Jerusalem could become a target. Well, security here in Jerusalem 144 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:37.120 is sky high because during Ramadan, the Alaksa compound, which is Islam's third 145 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.519 Holy a site. It is the place of worship where tens of thousands of 146 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.679 Muslims come over this holiday, especially on Fridays. And unfortunately, in the 147 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:54.799 past we've seen very violent clashes on the Temple Mount compound a young people who 148 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.919 attack Israeli security forces that are there. Sometimes they turn very deadly these attack 149 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.320 and sometimes they even spark wider conflicts. A few years ago, it actually 150 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:09.399 sparked a short war in Gaza. Now this year, the fears of you 151 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.480 know, violence are sky high because we have the war in Gaza raging and 152 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:20.200 according to the and we have hamas calling on militants to come to Alaksa and 153 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:26.519 attack Israelis, and not only in Jerusalem, but across the country and even 154 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.440 outside of Israel. And then we also have from the Israeli security forces reports 155 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.799 that online incitement has skyrocketed in the last few days and they're getting more and 156 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:43.360 more warnings of attacks. So it's a very very tense situation here. And 157 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.960 you know, there were some scuttles last night on the first night of Ramadan. 158 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:54.240 There are no major restrictions in place, though Palestinians regularly complain that youngsters, 159 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.480 young men in their twenties are usually not allowed on even though there's no 160 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.840 policy that they they should be kept out, so they are, you know, 161 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.440 pulling people out to check them. A kind of security profiling that's happening 162 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.879 to try to prevent any unrest or attacks. And everyone's really, you know, 163 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.559 everyone's very worried. And we'll see what happens on Friday, which is 164 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.679 really when up to you know, eighty thousand Palestinians and Israeli Arabs can come 165 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.679 and pray this year. The Israeli government may impose some restrictions even the night 166 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.000 before, for we may hear something on Thursday, so we'll have to wait 167 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.919 and see and report, and that probably isn't going to go over Grady. 168 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:46.600 They're so gosh, just cra no quick solutions, and I just I'm just 169 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.840 going to continue to pray for peace. We'll just say that, Yeah, 170 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.440 we have to pray for peace exactly. All right, Thank you so much, 171 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:58.200 Jordana Miller. Appreciate your time and your insights today. Talk soon, 172 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.200 all right, when we come back, we're going to be talking oscars, 173 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.000 highlights, low lights and more. You're listening to Wake Up Call on Demand 174 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:11.919 from KFI AM six forty. You didn't oversleep today because of the missed our 175 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.279 daylight saving time. I woke up yesterday and all my clocks reset themselves, 176 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:18.919 so it was kind of like, no big deal. I'm like, oh, 177 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.480 okay, well, it's it's an hour later than it feels, but 178 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.320 I don't even have to go around and set on my clocks. Here's what 179 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.039 we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hollywood's biggest night is in 180 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:35.639 the books. Oppenheimer was the evening's top winner seven Oscars, including first Oscar 181 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.080 wins for actors Killian Murphy and Robert Downey Junior, and also director Christopher Nolan. 182 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.440 Emma Stone won Best Actress for Poor Things Divine Joy Randolph won Best Supporting 183 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.759 Actress for The Holdovers. Hundreds of protesters showed up at the oscars or before 184 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.240 them. The LAPD broke the group up at about two forty five. Organizers 185 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.840 say they wanted to disrupt the Academy Awards and expose retaliation against anyone in the 186 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.639 industry who speaks out against Israel. They called for a ceasefire and announced what 187 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:09.600 they call Hollywood's active supportive genocide. Special counsel Robert hur Is said to testify 188 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:16.360 before a Republican led House panel. He investigated President Biden's handling of classified documents, 189 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.879 but ultimately declined to bring criminal charges and said the facts stopped short of 190 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:26.360 finding he willfully retained classified material. The hearings tomorrow at six oh five. 191 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.799 It's handled On the news. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he's moving forward in 192 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.639 spite of a warning from President Biden. Here are some more of the stories 193 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.039 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. State Wildlife officials and the 194 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:41.919 US Coast Guard continue to monitor the coast of Huntington Beach after the discovery of 195 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:46.600 an oil schine. About eighty five gallons of oil has been recovered from the 196 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.559 water and about eight hundred pounds of oily waste and tar balls have been recovered 197 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.039 from the shoreline. I love if I see that kind of thing happening. 198 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.039 It's like, why do we keep having this problem? The approximately two and 199 00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:00.879 a half mile long oil sheen was first spotted on Thursday. Offshore recovery assets 200 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:06.759 are now being demobilized after a crew flew over the area yesterday and didn't see 201 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:11.840 any oil machine. The cause of the shechine still not known. The LEDWP 202 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.399 says it captured more than thirteen and a half billion gallons of water from the 203 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:19.279 storm last month. That's enough to serve about one hundred and sixty five thousand 204 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:23.799 households per year, or equal to filling more than twenty thousand Olympic sized swimming 205 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:29.799 pools. The city captured eight point four billion gallons of rainwater in February of 206 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:34.759 last year. Officials in Almonte say the city's guaranteed income pilot program has been 207 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.600 a success. One hundred and twenty five single female heads of household have received 208 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.799 five hundred dollars per month since July. To mitigate the economic strain caused by 209 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:48.480 COVID nineteen. The Rand Corporation and USC soul Price School of Public Policies studied 210 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.840 the family's progress over the last eight months. Preliminary findings released last week's show 211 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.919 reduced stress, anxiety, and economic strain, plus improved housing stability. Participants 212 00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.919 reported spending the money on food, rent, and school supplies. The final 213 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:06.160 payments go out in May. Corbin Carson KFI News officials in Florida are trying 214 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:10.119 to help a sperm whale that beached itself on a sandbar off the Gulf Coast, 215 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:14.440 but conditions in the water have prevented crews from getting near it. Venice 216 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:18.759 police say the whale was alive yesterday afternoon when it became stranded about seventy five 217 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.680 miles south of Tampa. They say hopes of helping the whale are dwindling. 218 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:32.839 Let's talk oscars. So overall, I think that the show last night was 219 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.000 really good. And if you've been listening to Wake Up Call, you know 220 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:40.079 that I'm kind of a junkie when it comes to the awards shows. I 221 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.759 do like to watch them, but over the last few years they've just got 222 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.359 they drag and they've become kind of mundane, and when they get political, 223 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:55.240 I'd get really grumpy. But I thought that overall the show was really good. 224 00:17:55.319 --> 00:18:00.799 I really liked and tell me if you think the same thing that for 225 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:06.480 the acting categories, they had their friends and colleagues come up and say something 226 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.319 about each of the nominees. I thought that was a really kind of cool 227 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:11.920 and personalized way to shake it up just a little bit. I mean, 228 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.960 not earthshaking, but it was something new and different, and I think it 229 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:21.039 was I like that. I think that one of the first awards given out 230 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:26.680 for the evening was Divine, who won for the Holdovers, and I just 231 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.400 loved her acceptance speech. She was up there and she was crying and she 232 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.799 said thank you for seeing me, and she said, I pray that I 233 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.640 get to do this more than once. And I just thought it was really 234 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.720 really sweet. And speaking of once, it was the first award. Didn't 235 00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.680 realize this for Robert Downey Junior, his first Academy award, Killy Murphy's first 236 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.039 Academy Award, and director Christopher Nolan's first Academy Award. Of course for Oppenheimer, 237 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.119 along with Best Picture. I just want to say, Chris Hemsworth, 238 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.200 thank you for participating. My goodness, he is a good looking man. 239 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:03.680 He was on early in the show, presenting in a word Billy Eilish's performance 240 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:22.000 of what was I Made for? Oh Sad Friends. I just think Billie 241 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.480 Eilish more than powerful, so much emotion in her voice, so beautiful and 242 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.759 so perfect for the message of this movie. It was really just a fun, 243 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.240 happy movie, but had so many more layers, and I think it 244 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:38.759 was just she was just exquisite. And a world also where everyone's looking to 245 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:42.359 be more contemporary and they're like going to DJs and mixers. I love that 246 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:47.079 the Oscar still has their full orchestra. Thought that was very cool. Thought 247 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:51.880 the john Sena moment when he gave out the award for costume design and almost 248 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:56.640 went full Monty was kind of fun. That guy is ripped. Now Tony's 249 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.680 just looking at me because you didn't watch the Oscars. Came in and he 250 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.319 said, I saw one movie last year, Amy, I'm not watching the 251 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.839 Oscars. Okay, fine, poor things won for costume design it and it 252 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.759 kind of reminded you of how long it takes to make a movie because they're 253 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.240 up there doing their acceptance speeches and talking about how they were all in hungry 254 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.640 and it was at the height of the pandemic when they were filming and everyone 255 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:21.480 had to wear masks. That was four whole years ago and it's now just 256 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:26.359 coming to fruition. So very cool. Also, Robert Downey Junior, I 257 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:32.079 thought was another really kind of fun moment. And he thanked his wife and 258 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:36.519 said she loved me. Back to life. I thought that was kind of 259 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:41.359 cool. Godzilla won an Oscar. That was the one movie that Tony saw. 260 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.880 Loved that they all had little toys. Godzilla's when they went up on 261 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.880 stage. That was kind of fun and I was very pleased to see that 262 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.079 twenty days in Mariopul wins in Oscar. I definitely recommend that you see it 263 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.039 because Ukraine has really fallen out of the headlines. So much of the focus 264 00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.880 is on Israel and Amask but people are being been being slaughtered in Ukraine for 265 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:07.000 two years now, and where is the outrage for Ukraine. It was a 266 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:08.640 political speech, which again I said, I kind of don't like, but 267 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:11.920 it had to be on this one, and I think that what the filmmaker 268 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:17.519 said was we cannot change the past. We can make sure the history record 269 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.359 is set straight and the truth will prevail. I thought that was really really 270 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:30.880 cool. Loved Ryan Gosling. I'm just can he's in my destiny life for 271 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.039 that was a fun moment and he kind of kind of laughed his way onto 272 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:45.119 stage, almost realizing the ridiculousness of this whole thing. And while Ryan is 273 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.400 not the best vocalist, he still is solid and it's such a fun song. 274 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:52.000 I mean, and everyone in the audience was on their feet. So 275 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.759 loved Billie Eilish's thank you speech. She was just giddy and it was so 276 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.559 fun to see her show such a because this kind of seems like she's kind 277 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:04.240 of a subdued person overall. Thought it was like I said, I thought 278 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:08.559 it was fabulous. Loved when Emma Stone came up and said my dress is 279 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:14.400 broken. I think it happened during I'm just ken so but man, she 280 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:18.000 looked fabulous last night. And wow, I didn't know her second well I 281 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.240 did know, but I forgot her second Academy Award not too shabby. And 282 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.279 of course Oppenheimer Best Picture deserved it. I saw eight of the ten and 283 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.640 I think it was it was best Picture and very deserving. So we're going 284 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.640 to be talking more actually with Aaron Benmosch, who was in the room. 285 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.160 She's our news editor here at KFI, but she got to go with Steve 286 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.880 Gregory and go behind the scenes, and so I'm excited to talk to her 287 00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:44.680 because she's the total just movie junkie, and I think she's going to have 288 00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.279 some fun perspective for us from what it's like at the Oscars. You're listening 289 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.440 to a wake up call on demand from KFI AM six forty. Here's what 290 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.240 we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Offshore recovery efforts to deal 291 00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.440 with an oil sheine off the coast of Huntington Beach are being demobilized. The 292 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:04.839 gine wasn't seen during a flyover of the area yesterday, but shoreline cleanup tree 293 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:08.640 teams continue to see tar balls along the beaches. Two birds have died. 294 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.799 About eight hundred pounds of tar balls and oil have been recovered from the shore. 295 00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:18.839 The US Embassy is evacuating non essential staff members from Haiti because of out 296 00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:22.960 of control gang violence. Families of diplomats and others were reportedly being airlifted out 297 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:27.079 of the capital city of Porta Prince. A post on the Embassy's website yesterday 298 00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:33.960 calls the security situation in Haiti unpredictable and dangerous. The Last Repair Shop has 299 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.720 won Best Documentary Short at the Oscars. It's a movie about four people who 300 00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:44.799 repair and maintain musical instruments used by La School District students. In celebration of 301 00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:48.400 the win, the filmmakers are announcing a fundraising effort to help boost the LAUSD's 302 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:52.799 music programs. Such a cool program. I gotta go see that. I 303 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.319 did not see that one at six oh five. It's handle on the news. 304 00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.119 Hundreds of people showed up before the Oscars, not for the glitz and 305 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.400 glamour, but to protest for a ceasefire in Gozip. And if I fifty, 306 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.400 our very own news editor Aaron ben Mosch was at her very first Oscars. 307 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.359 We're gonna see the Oscars through Aaron's eyes. But right now, let's 308 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:18.279 say good morning to Innovate Realties Suzanne Send, Good morning, Suzanne, Hi, 309 00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.960 good morning. Thank you for getting up early with us today because it 310 00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:27.759 is Women's History Month in March and women are making history when it comes to 311 00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:33.519 buying homes. What's going on? Absolutely? Yes, yeah, so it 312 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:40.599 does show. So data does show that now women have surpassed single women have 313 00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:48.920 surpassed single men in home ownership. So it's it's exciting. It's definitely something 314 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:53.319 that has changed over the past ten years. But now we're seeing more single 315 00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:59.240 women owning homes all across the US in forty seven out of fifty states. 316 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.960 Okay, and so what is it what's changing? And why is so it's 317 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.119 single women? So there are they just saying I'm not going to wait until 318 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.160 I get married, or or are they just better at save it money? 319 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.440 Why are the women kind of surging in the whole ownership. Yeah, good 320 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:22.920 question. I mean, there's some data to suggest the women are are saving 321 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.400 a little more and taking life a little a little more seriously. But you 322 00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:32.079 know, I can't we can't say that on a that's not my firm answer. 323 00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.160 The one, the one major thing is that women, historically, we 324 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:42.200 live a little bit longer than men. So you do see kind of an 325 00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:48.839 increase there with women long term. You know, maybe that we're married at 326 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:55.519 one time, but yeah, but then you know now they're single, so 327 00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:57.720 you see a little bit of that. But I think the interesting data, 328 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:04.400 the really interesting data come from women who are under thirty. So women under 329 00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:11.119 thirty are actually you know, we can talk about the the income gap a 330 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:15.880 little bit. Okay, women under thirty don't see that income gap as much 331 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:22.160 as women over thirty. So women under thirty are actually making just as much, 332 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.680 if not more money than men under thirty. So so women over thirty 333 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:34.279 are still making less. That is what research does. So so yeah, 334 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:40.160 yeah, but but you know, it kind of shows that women coming into 335 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:44.880 the workforce force now at least have you know, a little bit of a 336 00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:52.920 more equal start, and so you do see actually some of this data coming 337 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.640 through in home ownership as well. Okay, so Susan, we know that 338 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:02.599 home prices are super high, interest rates are high, and so for a 339 00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:06.079 lot of people, the dream of owning a home has kind of gone out 340 00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:10.160 of reach. But what are some things that people can do to help them 341 00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:12.039 sort of get on that path to home ownership. You've got some tips for 342 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:18.559 us. Yeah, it's a great question. So thankfully there are programs like 343 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:25.759 the Dream Program in California where specifically we're looking at, you know, brand 344 00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:30.519 new homeowners have never owned a home before, have an opportunity where they don't 345 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.279 need to put up as much in down payment. The government will help them 346 00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:38.799 out with that. That is a really exciting program that launched last year. 347 00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:42.880 It was all the funding for that program was out in just nine days. 348 00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:48.920 But that program is coming back. It's anticipated to be at the end of 349 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:53.480 April. So we're really excited at least for first time homeowners to give them 350 00:27:53.480 --> 00:28:00.720 a little boost and hopefully get them into their first home. With that as 351 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.480 well, we do and anticipate that rates are coming down this year, so 352 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:10.519 you know, they're they're they're not at the level we want them right now. 353 00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:14.720 I think the national average is six point eight percent, but we do 354 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.640 expect over the next year that those are going to go down and should help 355 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.440 relieve that pain a little bit there as well well. And I think the 356 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.319 rates were so low, I mean, down at three percent, which were 357 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:30.759 historically low. I remember my parents had a house in California, I don't 358 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:34.839 know how many years ago, and they had like seventeen percent interest or something 359 00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:41.759 crazy. So even though they're really high right now, they're still below seven 360 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.200 percent. Isn't horrific? And the chances of us getting back to three percent 361 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:49.240 is I mean, have you seen any indications that it might get back that 362 00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:53.319 low? It's you know, it got to three percent because of COVID, 363 00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:56.599 right, so we don't we don't need that, we don't want that, 364 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.359 right, Yeah, no kidding. I think think, yeah, you know, 365 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:07.480 if there is a you know, something something crazy happening in the world, 366 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.200 we might get there. But that's not what anyone wants. I think 367 00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:14.640 the market even at that point was a little bit unstable just because there were 368 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.759 so many people buying, so the cost was you know, on homes were 369 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:23.559 driven up so high that that's not a great balance either, right, So 370 00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:30.799 you know, we we need something that's reasonable affordable with where home values are 371 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.519 right now. But but you know, we don't see them going back down 372 00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:40.359 a three percent anytime there. Okay. And then Suzanne as a as a 373 00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:44.319 real estate expert, if someone's thinking about like they're like, Okay, I'm 374 00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:48.920 going to start really focusing on getting into a home, what's like the number 375 00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:53.079 one thing they can start doing? The number one thing. I mean, 376 00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:57.680 we talk about saving, but I think that people don't know what they need 377 00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:03.000 to save until they talk to a lender. So that is the most important 378 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.160 thing that anyone can do. Talk to an expert, because you know, 379 00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.960 if you're just putting money in the bank, you don't want to be disappointed 380 00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.759 when you do end up, you know, start start looking at homes and 381 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:19.240 connect with the lender eventually and then realize it's not enough, or you know, 382 00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:22.400 maybe I need to strategize in a different way, or I mean a 383 00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.160 lot of times your lender's telling you, hey, if you pay off these 384 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:32.519 three debts, you don't have to have as much down payment and you've actually 385 00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:37.119 qualify for a lot more. So it's just really important to talk to the 386 00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:41.279 people that know what they're talking about so that way when these types of programs 387 00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.799 like the Dream program that's coming back, I mean, you want to be 388 00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:49.519 in the know in those situations. So if you're looking for a home, 389 00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:53.039 you want to buy a home this year, stay in contact with your lender. 390 00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:56.759 Okay, Susan Sen, thank you so much for your information. And 391 00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:03.759 it's so good to see that girls are real. Yes, love it all 392 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.640 right, thank you so much for your time this morning.

Let's get back to some of the 394 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:14.160 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A fifteen year old 395 00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:18.920 boy has been shot and killed by sam Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies. Where he 396 00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.119 came into the house or yes, he broke the window and now he's into 397 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:23.960 the house. A woman called nine to one one to report a family member 398 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:27.759 attacking others at their home on Saturday, just before five pm. The first 399 00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:30.880 deputy arrived and was confronted by the fifteen year old, who was armed with 400 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.920 a five foot long garden tool that had a sharp blade on the end. 401 00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.839 Bodycam footage shows the boy raising the tool and charging toward the deputy, who 402 00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:45.200 attempted to retreat where's the yeh bye, good bye good back to his side. 403 00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.200 The boy was shot by deputies and died at the hospital. Andrew Caravella 404 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:53.720 KFI News. Saudi oil giant Aramco says it made one hundred and twenty one 405 00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:57.880 billion dollars in profit last year. That's down from one hundred and sixty one 406 00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:02.119 billion in profit report in twenty twenty two. The company said in a filing 407 00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.519 that the decrease mainly reflects the impact of lower crude oil prices and lower volumes 408 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:13.720 sold, also weakening refining and chemicals margins. A new study by the Pentagon 409 00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:17.799 has examined reported UFO sidings from the last seven decades. The Defence Department's All 410 00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:23.640 Domain Anomaly Resolution Office found no evidence of aliens or extraterrestrial intelligence. The study 411 00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:30.480 analyzed US government investigations this is nineteen forty five of reported sightings of unidentified anomalist 412 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:35.200 phenomena or popularly known as UFOs. It found no evidence that any of those 413 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.200 claims were actually signs of alien life or the The US government in private companies 414 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:44.680 that reverse engineered extraterrestrial technology and we're hiding it. Sandy Wells KFI News. 415 00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:49.480 You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI Am six forty. Good 416 00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.359 Monday morning to you. I'm Amy King. Here's what we're following in the 417 00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:55.599 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hollywood's biggest night is in the Books. Oppenheimer 418 00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:00.960 was the evening's top winner seven Oscars, including first Oscar wins for actors Killian 419 00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:06.799 Murphy, Robert Downey Junior, and for director Christopher Nolan. Emma Stone won 420 00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.680 Best Actress for Poor Things and Divine Joy Randolph one Best Supporting Actress for The 421 00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.319 Holdovers. Hundreds of protesters showed up at the Oscars. The LAPD broke the 422 00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:19.519 group up around two forty five. Organizers say they wanted to disrupt the Academy 423 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:23.720 awards and expose retaliation against anyone in the industry who speaks out against Israel. 424 00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:29.920 Sweden's flag has been raised outside NATO headquarters, cementing the country's place as the 425 00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:32.960 thirty second member of the Alliance. Sweden never wanted to be part of NATO, 426 00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:37.119 but that changed after Russia invaded Ukraine two years ago. We're just minutes 427 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:40.759 away from handling the news this morning. The Princess of Wales has apologized for 428 00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:45.839 doctoring the first picture of her released since her abdominal surgery a couple months ago. 429 00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:50.880 Right now, let's say good morning to our very own news editor turned 430 00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:55.480 OSCARS reporter Aaron ben moschfrest off her first trip to the Oscars. Good morning, 431 00:33:55.599 --> 00:34:00.279 good morning. Okay, so take us to the Oscars because we know 432 00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:06.240 you were super excited to go. Yes, it was so exciting. We 433 00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:10.719 were met with protesters. It was very hard for them to get to Hollywood 434 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:15.199 Boulevard, where the red carpet actually was, so they met us at the 435 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:20.639 press parking lot. There were I would say at least one hundred people there 436 00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:23.760 from what we saw, and we got there around a little after one. 437 00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:30.320 Our bus had to shuttle us through the back roads because everything was shut down. 438 00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:32.800 A lot of them were calling for a ceasefire, and so that really 439 00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:39.159 kicked off the afternoon, which surprisingly I found interesting because there were so many 440 00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:43.880 artists who were on the red carpet wearing red pins, who were showing their 441 00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:49.239 support for a ceasefire. I'm not sure if that message was translated to the 442 00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:51.800 protesters, but that was like, well, probably not, because they didn't 443 00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:55.079 get anywhere really near the red carpet. No, and so that was kind 444 00:34:55.079 --> 00:35:00.039 of like the first exposure we had to the morning we were like all dressed 445 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:05.079 up and realizing that this big protest was happening. And so when we finally 446 00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.159 got to the Dolby, we were working our way through. You could hear 447 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:12.199 the cheers from the background that people were starting to show up, which was 448 00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:16.679 very exciting. We had been to the walkthrough a few days earlier where people 449 00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:22.599 were wearing like pretend Killian Murphy and like this is where he's going to be, 450 00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:24.079 this is where they were going to be, and so you know, 451 00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:28.440 we were pretend waving to the people who were pretending to be these people. 452 00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:32.719 So did you You weren't on the red carpet though, now and you were 453 00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:37.280 with Steve Gregory. Yes, we've been covering the oscars for years, decades. 454 00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:39.079 Yeah, so it kind of is twenty second year of covering it, 455 00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:43.360 so he kind of knows his way around. So where did you go? 456 00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:46.639 So we were in the press room, which is located in the hotel next 457 00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:52.239 to the Dolby. There was a long stretch hidden pathways, like if you've 458 00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:54.599 ever been to the Dolby, where you see that mall near the Dave and 459 00:35:54.679 --> 00:36:00.320 Busters, like the entire complex was shut down to the public right so that 460 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:04.719 everything could be converted to walkways for different people whenever they won. So we 461 00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:10.840 were in the hotel press room with ten different monitors so and headsets so we 462 00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:16.159 could tune in to the show as it's happening. And then also whenever a 463 00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:22.079 winner comes through, they shut off the main show so we can interview the 464 00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:27.559 winners. And it's it's very difficult to juggle both because people get into the 465 00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:32.480 show. I was so surprised how into the show the press room was. 466 00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:37.280 Usually I assumed that they'd be very critical, and they're caught like whenever I'm 467 00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:39.840 watching at home, I'm seeing on Twitter all these people criticize the host or 468 00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:45.760 criticize the content, and they were ooing and eyeing and laughing, and you 469 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:49.119 know, in the middle of someone accepting their award and answering questions, they're 470 00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.519 laughing not at what this person said, but at the show. They're still 471 00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:55.519 watching the show. So I found that interesting. Yeah, well, I 472 00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:59.119 think, you know, we're all movie fans, and it is you know, 473 00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:04.119 Hollywood's a town and there is this aura about celebrities. They are just 474 00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:07.400 regular people, but still we get this sort of fanboy thing going. So 475 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:09.719 it's kind of fun though, just not see them all jaded in the in 476 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:14.760 the press room and celebrities. They are just like us. They do have 477 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:19.360 outfit malfunctions, just like us. Emma Stone when she won, not only 478 00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.719 was she stunned because she won, her dress was broken. The back of 479 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:25.199 her dress so cute when she came up on stage and she turns around, 480 00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:29.480 she goes, my dress is broken. Yeah. Yeah, And so by 481 00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:31.280 the time she came backstage, someone had ask like, are you okay, 482 00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:35.719 Like is your dress fixed? Are you still you know, broken in the 483 00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:37.119 back, And she was like, no, no, I was sewn in. 484 00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:40.559 I'm okay now, but I mean it was just so I mean, 485 00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:45.639 we talked to her about a half hour after the show wrapped, so you 486 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:50.079 know they're coming in at anytime, and most of the time they keep people 487 00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:52.559 back in the Dolby because it is a walk to get to us, so 488 00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:58.880 that way they can see best picture and everything. And she was still stunned 489 00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:04.159 when when she came back, And the same with Killian Murphy, very stoic 490 00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:06.880 when he walked in, kind of like deer in headlights. I think they 491 00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:09.960 were not expecting to win. I was thrilled that I'm a stone one. 492 00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:14.840 Me too, but I was sort of hoping for Paul Giamati for the holdovers 493 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:17.079 for Best After, but killya. Murphy did a great job too. He's 494 00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:21.519 cuter in person. I will say. Usually he's like kind of creepy or 495 00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.280 scary looking on picture and in screen, but when he came up, I 496 00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:27.960 was like, oh, it might be that I just want an Oscar glow, 497 00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:30.360 but yeah, he was cute. Okay, So what was the best 498 00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:34.599 moment of the night for you? Okay, the best moment night fangirl moment, 499 00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.880 because I know your sheet. Aaron is a huge, huge, huge 500 00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.679 movie fan I am. And it was kind of funny because there were times 501 00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:44.559 where people would start the show was about to start, and people started bringing 502 00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:45.639 out ballots, like empty ballots, and they were like, oh, do 503 00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:49.239 you want one? And I looked at Steve and I laughed because I already 504 00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.360 had one marked up that I had been using for like weeks already. But 505 00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:55.840 oh, how man, did you get right? I got more bright than 506 00:38:55.840 --> 00:39:00.599 you did. Well that makes sense because there's some that I I say. 507 00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:02.480 There's like I do like a double Mark there's somewhere I'm like, Okay, 508 00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:05.280 this is what I want to win, and then this is what I think 509 00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:07.960 is going to win. And actually the same way. Sometimes the things I 510 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.239 think will win actually won. And one of the things I was in the 511 00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:15.760 middle of interviewing the sound team for the Zone of Interest, I got a 512 00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:17.719 question in which is very exciting, and it was a very dark question. 513 00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:24.159 The film shot in Auschwitz, which is the Holocaust camp and now a museum, 514 00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:28.559 and I was asking what it was like to actually roll sound there and 515 00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:31.119 what that was like, what that was like emotionally, very intense question. 516 00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:37.480 Suddenly everyone everyone goes and I was like what. And I realized that the 517 00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:40.599 three of us were having our own conversation in our own little world, because 518 00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:45.079 Emma Stone had just won Best Actress and nobody was paying attention to these four 519 00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:50.360 winners, and so that was kind of crazy. But when Chris Nolan walked 520 00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:52.519 in for the first time with an oscar in his hand, I was pretty 521 00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:54.719 shocked. I was like, oh my god, I'm in a room with 522 00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:58.280 Christopher Nolan. Like I had been watching his movies for years and I had 523 00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:01.199 always hoped he would win for my or prestige or something. So that was 524 00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:05.159 very cool when he walked in, and it was very excited. Who seemed 525 00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:10.079 the most tickled to you know, after they got their win that you guys 526 00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:19.320 saw backstage, I would say when Devine Joy Randolph finally came in, I 527 00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:24.239 mean there was a gush of applause for her. I think she was very 528 00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:30.559 proud and excited and over and very emotional. But she had a great energy 529 00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:32.079 when she walked in. People were waiting for her. She did, and 530 00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:35.800 she said she felt blessed and she hoped that this wasn't going to be the 531 00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:37.960 only time that she gets to do this. I thought she was so sweet. 532 00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:45.239 Any big surprises before we wrap up? Uh, the food was good, 533 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:52.800 okay, Aaron Van Mosch, news editor, extraordinary, just experiencing her 534 00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:54.920 first Oscars.
