Last night, we're gonna be talking 10 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.119 about that. A lot got some I mean, there's some 11 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.520 good stuff, some bad stuff, some beautiful stuff, some stuff 12 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.399 that made me cry. Also, I don't know how you 13 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.159 felt about yesterday, but it was chill and it was beautiful. 14 00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:02.520 I know we had some rain come through. I didn't 15 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.680 get in my neighborhood, but it was one of those 16 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.560 days where the winds had kind of blown out the gunk, 17 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.599 so the skies were super clear, and you've got some 18 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.480 clouds and you've got some sun and some wind, and 19 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.840 I was just like, this was like a perfect day. 20 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.120 Just to add like ten or fifteen degrees. But I 21 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.640 thought it was a beautiful Sunday, and also very excited 22 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.159 because we got PIP watch going. So Jackie in shadow 23 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.920 in a nest high above Big Bear Lake laid three eggs. 24 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.920 We've been watching them on the Big Bear Bald Eagle 25 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.959 cam and yesterday they confirmed that there's a pip that 26 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.439 means the hatching progress process could be starting. 27 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:41.680 There's also a lot of snow. 28 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:45.719 There is snow, so the pip was recorded like at 29 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.480 three o'clock in the afternoon. That's when they went, oh, 30 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.719 there's one. And then I tuned in and Jackie's sitting 31 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.640 on the nest and there's hail falling on her. I 32 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.040 felt awful for And now there's a bunch of snow, 33 00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.120 but you know what they're built for that. We'll be 34 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.760 watching the nest. Very exciting. Here's what's ahead on wake 35 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.359 Up Call. North Hollywood has been shaken by a three 36 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.480 point nine earthquake. Did you feel it? I didn't. I 37 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.000 was asleep. The templar hit at ten thirteen last night 38 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.800 between NoHo and Universal City. The shaking was felt as 39 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:18.159 far south as Orange County. Texts between former LA Fire 40 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.360 Chief Kristin Crowley and the leaders of several agencies leading 41 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.439 up to January's wildfires have been released. They seem to 42 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.319 dispute Mayor Bass's claims that Crowley didn't communicate with her 43 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.400 or her office about fire danger. Bass was out of 44 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.400 the country when the Palisades and Eton fires started. Bass 45 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.919 fired Crowley last month. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says 46 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.960 the US is committed to ending the Russia Ukraine War. 47 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.080 Rubio's comments come days after President Trump and President Zelensky 48 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.759 had a tense exchange in the Oval Office as they 49 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.960 were discussing a deal that would have given the US 50 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:55.080 access to Ukrainian minerals in exchange for providing aid. We're 51 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.319 gonna be talking with kfi's White House correspondent John Decker 52 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.599 about that. More coming up at five twenty. Let's get 53 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.039 started with some of the stories coming out of the 54 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.560 KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

An exchange on January sixth 75 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.480 between Crowley, LAPD Chief MacDonell, and LA City Emergency Manager 76 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.560 Carol Parks shows the three agreeing to activate the city's 77 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.079 emergency operations center at the lowest level of staffing, which 78 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.879 is Level three, because of a major Santa Anna wind 79 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.800 event the next morning. The day the fire started, Crowley 80 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.720 directed Parks to upgrade emergency operations to Level two, and 81 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.199 as the Palisades fire got out of control, Crowley and 82 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.879 Parks agreed to move emergency operations to Level one. Mayor 83 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.600 Bass claims Crowley never called her or her chief of 84 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.839 staff leading up to the fire. Baths was in Ghana 85 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.639 when the fire started. Officials in Santa Fe, New Mexico, 86 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.439 say the bodies of actor Gene Hackman and his wife, 87 00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:01.160 Betsy Arakawa tested negative for carbon monoch side poisoning. The 88 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.480 bodies were discovered last week in the couple's home. 89 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.079 The manner and cause of death has not been determined. 90 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:11.000 The official results of the autopsy and toxicology reports are pending. 91 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:17.120 Sheriff Aiden Mendoza says Hackman likely died on February seventh, 92 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.199 February seventeenth, rather, that was the last day his pacemaker 93 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.519 recorded an event. It's five oh six on your wake 94 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.439 up call. So Academy Awards last night. I have some thoughts. 95 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.839 IM not sure if you watched. Producer and said she watched, 96 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.160 but she didn't really care. Will you watch YEP? I thought, overall, 97 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.759 I think it was. It was. It was a good show. 98 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.000 I agree, I think it you know, it went long, 99 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.959 but we expected it to do. And I love the 100 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:48.079 Red carpet before the show. I love the nuggets when 101 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.680 they're talking to the actors and stuff and they don't 102 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.000 ask what you're wearing, because they do ask that a lot, 103 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.399 but when they get him to kind of open up 104 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:55.920 a little bit. Aside from that, Oh, it's such an 105 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.839 honor to be nominated, but sometimes they'll they'll talk a 106 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.519 little bit and I think that's, you know, that's kind 107 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.720 of fun. As far as what they were wearing, I 108 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:07.959 think Demi Moore was bedazzled to the hilt, looked fabulous. 109 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:12.439 I loved her her dress. Yeah, Selena Gomez also had 110 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.879 that rose gold fitted, blingy, fabulous dress. El Fanning was 111 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.800 more of a classic look with a white dress with 112 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.079 a bit of a train and a black boat. I 113 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.959 felt very Audrey Hepburn. In fact, I think a lot 114 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.240 of it felt like old Hollywood, which I kind of liked. 115 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.759 Was a classy. Yeah, it's unlike you know, the Grammys 116 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.240 where everybody's half naked. Sure, I think it was beautiful. 117 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:37.319 I liked Adam Sandler No, that was a bit though. 118 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:44.120 Timothy Schallomey Charlomagie in almost neon yellow. I dug his outfit. 119 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.399 I think it worked for him. Ari on A Grande 120 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:54.199 looked like Glinda from Wicked in her little pink perfection 121 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.639 and I wanted to see her sitting down in that 122 00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.800 get up, but then she changed her dress. So anyway, 123 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.800 I love, love, loved the open. There's no fight. 124 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.519 We cannot. 125 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:17.720 Just you would have thought that Wicked was going to 126 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.040 take home everything by the way that they started the show. 127 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.839 I think, uh, it was just great to see Ariana 128 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:28.279 Grande come out in that ruby red sequin dress or 129 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.360 maybe it was diamond, maybe it was real rubies, who knows, 130 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.560 but that was spectacular. I mean, man, can she sing? 131 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.279 And I just loved Somewhere over the Rainbow. I thought 132 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.720 that was a great way to start the show. And 133 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.759 then they bring Cynthia Rivo out there. Didn't like her 134 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.000 dress as much, but boy can that woman sing, and 135 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.680 I just loved it when they paired up to sing 136 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.360 defying gravity. I thought it was just a great way 137 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.839 to open the show. Call it Conan O'Brien. I think 138 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.519 he did a respectable I think it's a hard thing 139 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.240 to do because everybody's just wanting to scrutinize you, and 140 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:06.839 I think Anne said he was kind of milk toast 141 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.560 he kind of was, but I think he did it. 142 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:10.160 I think he did a good job. I did not 143 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:14.399 like the way that he started though, because I didn't 144 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:18.160 love the substance, and because it made me so squeamish 145 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:23.399 with all the with the needles and the big gash 146 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.519 in her back where a person climbs out, and that's 147 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.279 what Conan O'Brien did. I didn't love that, but I 148 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.399 get it so And as far as the winners, I 149 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.519 didn't agree with any of the Top Acting honors at all. 150 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.639 I think they all do a great job, or they 151 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.360 wouldn't be nominated, but I think that there were others 152 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.879 who did better, if that you know, I mean, but 153 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.120 they're all top levels, so I mean at that point 154 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.440 is the Oscar just sort of I don't know, it's 155 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.440 just the trophy to take home. They were all They 156 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.320 all did great, but they wouldn't have been my choices. 157 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.759 And I really am sad that Sing Sing didn't win 158 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:03.279 anything because Adapted Screenplay Actors something. Because it was the 159 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.120 most heartwarming movie of the season I think, and like 160 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.039 had a good message and stuff, and of course Anora 161 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.240 was the big winner. I liked Anora. I didn't love 162 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.120 Honora and I think that if there wouldn't have been 163 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.879 the whole scandal with the tweets with the lead actress 164 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.039 from Amelia Perez, I think that I think that it 165 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.279 might have taken something. I think it might have won 166 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.559 Best Picture, because I do I liked it better, and 167 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.840 I was surprised that I liked both of the movies, 168 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.600 but I liked that one better. And of course I'm 169 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.320 glad that they included Gene Hackman, because there was all 170 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.000 this talk like, oh, the Academy can't, can't get them 171 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.759 get him included. This lady passed, you know, we missed 172 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.919 the deadline or whatever. But I think that they did 173 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.159 a nice job with that, and it seemed like there 174 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.360 were which was a good thing. It seemed like there 175 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.879 were fewer in memoriam, like we lost fewer actors. Yeah, 176 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.360 last I went by pretty quickly. 177 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:52.600 Yeah. 178 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.720 Some years you just go, oh my gosh, we lost 179 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.320 that person and that person and that person and that person. 180 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.360 And I didn't feel like that this year. But anyway, overall, 181 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.200 I thought it was good. It was almost four hours, 182 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.879 but you expect it, and congratulations to the winners. That 183 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:07.759 don't mean to be a downer. Everybody did a good job. 184 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.840 But yeah, I think the Open the Wicket Open was 185 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:13.879 the highlight of the whole thing for me. Of course, 186 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.320 that was my favorite movie. Let's get back to some 187 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.559 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 188 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.480 hour news room of protesters who targeted Elon Musk and 189 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.679 his SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne. 190 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.000 Hundreds of people, many holding signs, lined the sidewalks outside 191 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.480 the building on Saturday. The protest was called destruction of 192 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.879 Our Government by Elon, a play on the Doge acronym. 193 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.000 Kfi's Mark Mayfield says the protest was organized by groups 194 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.080 against efforts to cut the federal workforce. Residents in Myrtle Beast, 195 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.000 South Carolina, have been evacuated from Holmes as wildfires tear 196 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:51.039 through the state. Governor Henry McMasters declared a state of emergency. 197 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.240 North Carolina also fighting wildfires. More than one hundred and 198 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:59.320 seventy wildfires have erupted across both states, forcing mass evacuations. 199 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.320 Speaker Mike Johnson says Ukrainian President Zelensky may have to 200 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.399 leave office after his public disagreement with President Trump. John 201 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:11.480 Johnson told NBC's Meet the Press that Zelenski needs to 202 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.879 show the proper gratitude for US assistants during the war 203 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.159 with Russia and work toward ending it. 204 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:18.519 Something has to change. 205 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:20.720 Either he needs to come to his senses and come 206 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.440 back to the table in gratitude, or someone else needs 207 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:25.559 to leave the country to do that. 208 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.080 Johnson also dismissed claims the US appears to be siding 209 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.919 with Russia in the conflict, insisting that President Trump is 210 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:38.960 still committed to opposing President Putin. Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost 211 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.240 lunar lander has arrived El Cyclantic. 212 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.440 We're on the book. 213 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.879 The private space company in Texas landed its spacecraft early 214 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.039 yesterday morning. The uncrewed, six foot tall lander was launched 215 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.960 January fifteenth. Firefly's CEO Jason Kim says the Blue Ghost 216 00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.639 was stable and upright when it touched down on the surface. 217 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.639 The landers already sent its first image back to Earth, 218 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.840 showing dust at the landing site. Another lander from a 219 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:10.200 different company is expected to arrive on the Moon this week. 220 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.360 We're gonna be talking with ABC's Jim Ryan. He's gonna 221 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.360 give us the latest on that that's coming up. At 222 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.559 the bottom of the art. Love all these spacey things, 223 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.480 Remember the first one that they sent to the moon, 224 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.080 it landed and then tipped over, So that's why they 225 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.240 made a big deal about this having a stable and 226 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.639 upright landing. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy 227 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.879 Junior says people should get vaccinated against measles. 228 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.679 Kennedy, who has been known for vaccine skepticism, made the 229 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.200 call in an opinion piece on Fox News Sunday. Last week, 230 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.919 authorities reported the first measles death in the US since 231 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.519 twenty fifteen, as a measle's outbreak has led to hospitalizations 232 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.080 in Texas. 233 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.559 Kfi's Tammy Trujillo says Kennedy noted that vaccinations are a 234 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.159 personal decision, but he says the measles vaccine protects children 235 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:57.840 and contributes to community immunity. Skype is shutting down. Kfi's 236 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.480 Michael Kastner says users will be read redirected to Teams 237 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:02.279 starting in May. 238 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:05.399 Skype users can move their accounts to the Teams app, 239 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.960 where the tech giant notes they can use many of 240 00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:08.879 the same features. 241 00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:14.440 A Microsoft executive called Skype an integral part of shaping 242 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:18.840 modern communication. Well Cap is still on top. Captain America 243 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.519 Brave New World remains in first place for the third 244 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.360 straight weekend, taking in about fifteen million dollars at the 245 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:27.519 box office. Not a big weekend of the movies. The 246 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:32.840 Deep Sea survival thriller Last Breath debuted in second place. Yeah, 247 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.559 that doesn't sound like any fun at all to me. 248 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.639 The horror comedy, which I think is funny that they 249 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:42.120 call it a horror in comedy, Monkey finished third. LADWP 250 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.360 officials say they didn't know there were hundreds of fire 251 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.559 hydrants that needed to be repaired ahead of the deadly 252 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.399 wildfire and Pacific Palisades. The LA Time says LA Fire 253 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:55.559 new thirteen hundred fire hydrants needed to be repaired months 254 00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:59.840 before the fires, but apparently didn't tell DWP. DWP says 255 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.399 relies on the fire department to let it know if 256 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:06.000 hydrants need to be fixed. Former LA Fire Chief Kristin 257 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:10.600 Crowley will officially appeal her termination to city councilors. It 258 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.240 happens tomorrow. She needs ten of the fifteen council members 259 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:16.639 to side with her to get her job back. Crowley's 260 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:19.039 a twenty five year veteran of LA Fire. She is 261 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.720 still with the department, but no longer. Chief Harrison Ford 262 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.159 had to cancel an appearance at the Oscars because of 263 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:29.320 the shingles Is star Wars co star Mark Hamill took 264 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.320 his place in presenting the award for Best Original Score. 265 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:35.480 The Brutalist won that one. It was a beautiful score. 266 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.600 It also won for Cinematography. Beautiful movie. We'll mention this. 267 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:44.399 He said. I also loved the open before Ariana Grande 268 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.120 and Cynthia Rivo took the stage. And I forgot to 269 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:50.159 mention that, did you see that at the very beginning 270 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:53.480 where they just started showing this montage of stuff around La, 271 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.960 which I think they probably did because of the fires, 272 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:59.399 just to kind of call attention to La. But I 273 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.120 loved it. I don't know if it's like if you're 274 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.120 not listening and in La, if it's the same for you, 275 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:08.559 But for me and maybe for you in La, it's like, oh, 276 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:10.480 I know that place, I know that place. I know 277 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.399 that place. I know that place, So it's kind of 278 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.759 makes you feel like at home. I thought that was 279 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:17.840 a really fun way to start the show. Let's say 280 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.399 good morning now to kfi's White House correspondent John Decker. 281 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:25.080 Good morning, John, Hey, good morning to you. Amy Hook. 282 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:25.960 You're doing well today? 283 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:30.200 Oh absolutely, so, We're talking to you because it was 284 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.720 it may have been must TV, must TV. I can't 285 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.120 say it must see TV at the Oscars last night, 286 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.440 but boy was it must see TV in the Oval 287 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:42.080 office on Friday. Can they come back from this? 288 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:42.399 Yeah? 289 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.559 It really was it. Actually you wanted to turn away. 290 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.039 It was like a car crash. I really happening. 291 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:49.759 Yeah. 292 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:53.080 And the Oval between President Trump and President Zelenski, the 293 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:56.440 meeting was going well, you know, for forty forty five minutes, 294 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.840 and then it went off the rails and meeting over, 295 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.279 no joint press conference, no signing ceremony concerning that mineral 296 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.039 rights deal that the President was planning to sign with 297 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.799 President Zelensky. And right now the relationship between the United 298 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.399 States and Ukraine between President Trump and President Zelinsky not 299 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.120 in a good place. I think it can be repaired. 300 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:20.799 I think it can be repaired quickly. That's what President 301 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:24.360 Zelinsky indicated over the weekend that he's committed to doing. 302 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:28.200 He met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with King 303 00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:32.639 Charles as well, and a number of European countries, including 304 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:36.440 the UK, France, perhaps Italy say they will step up 305 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:40.799 to provide more military assistance to Ukraine, and also they're 306 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:45.480 already speaking about that security that Ukraine has insisted upon 307 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.399 before signing any kind of ceasefire or peace deal with Russia. 308 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:53.480 Okay, So when you say that the European Union countries 309 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.759 are saying they're going to step up, what does that mean. 310 00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:01.080 Well, it means that they will step up in terms 311 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:05.599 of the military equipment, the military ammunition that Ukraine needs 312 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.319 to fight this war. At the same time, also working 313 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.400 on a diplomatic track to try to find a place 314 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:16.319 where Ukraine and Russia can put a halt to the 315 00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:19.480 fighting which has gone on now for three years. And 316 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:23.160 then lastly, once there is a piece, maintaining that piece, 317 00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:26.039 and that's what those three countries that I mentioned say 318 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.319 they're committed to doing, putting their boots on the ground 319 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:33.720 to maintain the security of Ukraine's sovereign integrity. 320 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.559 Okay, so I was going to ask you boots on 321 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.799 the ground, So that means that we would have European 322 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.359 troops in Ukraine. 323 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:46.039 Yes, I mean they've spoken about that over the course 324 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:47.000 of the past few weeks. 325 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:48.759 The UKSA says. 326 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.480 They're committed to that. Of President Macrono France says he's 327 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:54.519 committed to that. So that's exactly right. No American boots 328 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:57.599 on the ground. President Trump has ruled that out. Even 329 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.079 President Trump's predecessor that and Biden had. 330 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:01.599 Ruled that out. 331 00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:06.480 So it likely will be a European mission, not a 332 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.599 NATO mission, but a European mission to maintain security in 333 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:14.799 Ukraine once if there's a piece deal that is reached 334 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:16.920 between Russia and Ukraine. 335 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:20.119 Okay, So now going back to the Oval Office meeting 336 00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:24.000 where things went, as you mentioned, off the rails, So 337 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:27.519 forty five minutes they're talking, and was this before reporters 338 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.559 were in the room or they were talking for forty. 339 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.519 Five reporters, no Aman reporters in the room for the 340 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.720 entire meeting. You know, that's just I've been in the 341 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:38.720 Oval Office countless times, dozens of times with various presidents, 342 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.359 including President Trump, when he's meeting with the foreign counterpart, 343 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.480 and typically it's just a photo op. They're just reading 344 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.079 from prepared remarks and then the presses ushered out of 345 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:50.920 the room. On Friday, this was happening right in front 346 00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:54.039 of the press corps. The argument that we saw happen 347 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.759 right in front of the press corps very unusual. I mean, 348 00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:01.119 do meetings between the president and his foreign counterparts get 349 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:05.839 contentious sometimes absolutely, but it's always behind closed doors. That's 350 00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.599 not what we saw happen on Friday in the Oval Office. 351 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.440 Okay, so what was it if you said that it 352 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.079 was going for forty five minutes, because we didn't see 353 00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:15.559 that part. We saw the fight. So what was it 354 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:20.440 that turned it? What Zelensky said something that they weren't 355 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:24.079 happy about, and then Vance chimed in. But what was 356 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:25.279 it that really turned it? 357 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.920 I can't get inside, obviously, the leader's heads, but I 358 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.440 can tell you what was said that precipitated this blow up, 359 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:38.319 and that's President Zelensky. President Zelensky said, look, you know, 360 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.440 you have the luxury of having an ocean to protect you. 361 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:44.160 We don't have that luxury. But he said, this is 362 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.960 President z Linsky saying this, if a deal is cut 363 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:54.960 that benefits Russia, you will feel someday the problems associated 364 00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.319 with cutting a deal that benefits Russia. And President Trump 365 00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:00.960 did not like that. He said, don't tell us how 366 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:04.799 we feel. Don't tell us what we feel, and that, 367 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.640 for whatever reason, that phrase just got under the skin 368 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.559 of President Trump. And that's when President when Vice President JD. 369 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.160 Vance chimed in saying, incorrectly, by the way, that you 370 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.759 haven't thanked us. And that's something I mean, I covers Olenski. 371 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:22.000 I've been in so many meetings with that world leader 372 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:24.200 so often. That's like the first thing that he does 373 00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:27.279 is to thank the American people, to thank Congress, to 374 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.000 thank the White House for all of the support that 375 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:32.000 they have committed to Ukraine over the course of the 376 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:33.079 past three years. 377 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.119 Okay, I think maybe Vance was talking about that day specifically. 378 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:38.680 I heard him say you haven't said that he did. 379 00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:42.519 He did, Yeah, but in the Oval office in front 380 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:44.480 of the press corps. Indeed he did. That's the way 381 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.319 he began his remarks by by thanking the President. Maybe 382 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.319 it wasn't as effusive as Vice President Vance would have liked, 383 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.160 but there was certainly a show of appreciation and thanks 384 00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:58.079 coming from President's Lensky. 385 00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:01.880 Okay, Well, hopefully tempers will calm and they can get 386 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:06.279 back together and get this done. John, thank you so much, 387 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:08.000 appreciate the information and insight. 388 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:10.039 As always, absolutely all right. 389 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:12.799 Thanks. I love that we've got John in the White 390 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:15.119 House and he's you know, he's been there, he's been 391 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:17.200 in the room, so he kind of knows how it 392 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.640 goes interesting stuff. Police in the German city of Mannheim 393 00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:23.400 say one person has been killed and others have been 394 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:25.920 hurt by a person who drove into a crowd of 395 00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:28.680 people in the city center. One person has been taken 396 00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.160 into custody. Police have asked the public to stay away 397 00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:34.799 from the downtown area and stay in their homes. Southgate 398 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:37.799 police say they've confiscated more than three hundred pounds of 399 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:40.759 methamphetamine during a traffic stop. The guy was pulled over 400 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.480 on Friday. Police dogs sniffed out the drugs. The drivers 401 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.160
