WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.000 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call 2 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:08.279 with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:16.399 KFI hand KOSTNHD two, Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time 4 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:18.199 for your morning wake up call. 5 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:23.000 Here's Amy King. 6 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:34.000 It's five o'clock. This is your wake up call for Monday, 7 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.759 August twelfth. Good morning, I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere 8 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.520 on the iHeartRadio app. Happy to have you with us 9 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.920 this Monday morning. I don't know about you, but I 10 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.920 need a vacation from my weekend. It was jam packed, 11 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:52.039 and I will tell you I got to go to 12 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.560 two Dodgers games this weekend and we won both games. 13 00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.159 I'm starting to think I'm a lucky chart. Okay, i'd 14 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:01.759 be a push. But it used to be that we 15 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.439 would go to games. My best friend Namy and I 16 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.439 would go to games and they would lose, like every 17 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.200 time we'd go, and so we started to think we 18 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.599 were a curse. So I think the curses broken. I'm happy. 19 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.040 And because it was one hundred degrees out wasn't quite 20 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.000 a hundred, but it sure felt like it. Just sitting 21 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.319 in the sun. Everybody was drenched it. It was kind 22 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.799 of comical, like people were literally like they'd come and 23 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.640 get come back up to the concession stands from their seats, 24 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.560 their whole backside completely just drenched. But it was a 25 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.560 lot of fun and we won. And while the Olympics, 26 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.000 did you guys watch the closing ceremonies. That was so cool. 27 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:41.920 It's hard to believe it's been on for two weeks. 28 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.159 But Tom Cruise, we knew it. He was up to something. 29 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.000 We didn't know for sure what, but remember we were 30 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.959 talking last week about how Tom Cruise loves to do 31 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.760 his own stunts. He made sure that you could see 32 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.599 that it was Tom Cruise doing those stunts. That was impressive. 33 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.280 And then you know the concert on the beach with 34 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.400 Snoop and Drey and the Red Hot Chilli peppers. I 35 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.599 thought that was a weird choice and for the United States, 36 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.479 but Billie Eilish was amazing, so fun. We're gonna be 37 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.879 talking more about that coming up. Here's what's ahead on 38 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.919 wake Up called Busy Day, more than four hundred thousand 39 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.879 students are set to return to class as the twenty 40 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.319 twenty four to twenty five school year gets underway. In 41 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.560 the LA School District. It is the nation's second largest Superintendent, 42 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:33.599 Alberto Carvellis's test scores are rebounding and finances are stable 43 00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.360 in spite of declining enrollment since the start of the pandemic. 44 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.039 President Biden says he got out of the twenty twenty 45 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.520 four presidential race because several Democrats convinced him if he 46 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.400 stayed in, it would negatively impact them and other Democrats running. 47 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.400 He said on CBS this morning, the polls still showed 48 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.520 the race between he and former President Trump was neck 49 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.360 and neck. We're gonna be talking with ABC Stephen Portnoy 50 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.080 about the at the bottom of the hour to find 51 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.879 out more about the current matchup between former President Trump 52 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.520 and VP Kamala Harris and a campaign hack. The International 53 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:09.080 Olympic Committee says US gymnast Jordan Childs has to return 54 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.240 her bronze medal and the floor exercise. The challenge to 55 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:19.639 her bronze apparently was because they filed a challenge to 56 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:24.759 the score four seconds late. Tim USA is going to 57 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.960 challenge that. We're going to get the latest on that 58 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:31.120 and from Paris with ABC's Inez Delicaterra as France passes 59 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.719 the baton to the US. Also later this hour, we're 60 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.240 going to check in on the pandas and see how 61 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.960 they're settling in with their new habitat at the San 62 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.840 Diego Zoo. That's coming up before the bottom of the 63 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.360 hour at six oh five. It's handle on the news. 64 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:45.800 It wasn't all fun and games at the Olympics. Bill's 65 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:47.520 going to tell you why the Eiffel Tower had to 66 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.639 be evacuated just a few hours before closing ceremonies. Let's 67 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.000 get started with some of the stories coming out of 68 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.240 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Well, that's a wrap 69 00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.319 on summer. As school starts in La. 70 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.280 Four h undred thousand students will return to class today 71 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.439 as the LA Unified School District kicks off another school year, 72 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.479 Superintendent Alberto Corvallo says he is entering the year with optimism. 73 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.319 He says he has a renewed focus on student safety 74 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.319 and ambitious plans for campus improvements like removing mold, repairing 75 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.279 leaky roofs, and modernizing classrooms. Police are urging drivers to 76 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.000 be aware of the start of classes and the resulting 77 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.439 increase in children who will be walking, biking, or otherwise 78 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.160 traveling to schools. Heather Brooker, KAFI News. 79 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.759 Riverside counties in for another hot week. The National Weather 80 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.160 Services temperatures in Palm Springs are going to get one 81 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.720 hundred and seven again today, going up to one oh 82 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.000 eight tomorrow one oh nine the following couple of days. 83 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.399 Coachella reached one hundred and six yesterday and is expected 84 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:47.040 to peak at one oh eight tomorrow and Wednesday. Defense 85 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.199 Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered a guided missile submarine to 86 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.600 the Middle East. The Pentagon says he's also speeding up 87 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.959 deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln as Israel prepares for 88 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.920 a possible attack by Iran. ABC's Reean Analysis. Iran blames 89 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.160 Israel for the assassination of Hamas leader or of a 90 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.759 Hamas leader in Tehran. 91 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.600 The website Axios reports Israeli intelligence believes Iran has decided 92 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.800 to attack Israel within days. Israel's Defense minister telling US 93 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.199 Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Iran is preparing a large scale attack. 94 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.519 Israel says if Iran does attack, it can expect a 95 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.519 blow like an unlike any other. In return, Tina Tiana's 96 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.079 by U adventure, the attraction that used to be Splash 97 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.720 Mountain is going to reopen on November fifteenth. That was 98 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:34.360 one of the big announcements coming out of the D 99 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:38.079 twenty three convention in Anaheim for Disney super fans this weekend. 100 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.000 Plans for several new attractions were also unveiled, including a 101 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.959 Coco Ride, an Avatar experience, and two new attractions for 102 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.240 the Avengers campus in Disney California, Adventure Park Avengers Infinity 103 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.519 Defense and the Stark Flight Lab that they're going to 104 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:58.120 be fun. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Tom Rivers. Hey, Tom, 105 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.519 So they've been hammered, they've been out gunned and beat down, 106 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.560 and Ukraine still fights on and now they've taken the 107 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.800 offensive across enemy lines into Russia. 108 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.199 Yeah, they've gone across the border and they're still carrying 109 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.160 on with this operation. It could be over fill in 110 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.000 the blank in a couple of days, could be over 111 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.399 in a week. But again they're they're they're hopping over. 112 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:25.639 Estimates vary between nine and fifteen miles into the cursed 113 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:31.920 region of Russia going across the border. And again Zelensky 114 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.959 was finally talking about this yesterday. He says it just 115 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.920 to put pressure on the aggressor. In essence, it's more 116 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.680 of a psychological operation to get a message across, maybe 117 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.800 to the Russian people that we can also take the 118 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.720 fighting to your soil. If you're expecting a march on Moscow, 119 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.279 it's not going to happen. They came over with about 120 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.120 a dozen tanks, some APCs, a few hundred soldiers. They 121 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.560 will either all die or they will be captured eventually, 122 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.439 so it does carry on them. 123 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.639 So you're saying that it's more of a psychological thing, 124 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.920 and you're expecting that everybody who went into Russia they're 125 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:09.759 not coming home. 126 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.199 Unless they can sneak back. You know, they're they're they're 127 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.759 on a suicide mission there. There's conflict right now in 128 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:22.560 three particular villages. You said at the top, they're out manned. 129 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.120 They're out gunned to a to a power up ten 130 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.519 in that part of Russia. Reinforcements are coming in. It's 131 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:30.959 going to be one way traffic only. 132 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.040 That's why I was going to ask you about that. 133 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:34.800 I was like, are they worried that they're going to 134 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.560 be surrounded from behind and then they're stuck there And 135 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.560 it sounds like they already know that's kind of coming, 136 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:46.399 which is scary. But have they gained any groundback since 137 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.040 you know the stuff that they've lost in Ukraine, tom 138 00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:51.639 or is it. 139 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.800 A way chipping away six hundred and twenty miles, it's 140 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:56.920 it's a long, long border, so you can have you know, 141 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.600 toing and froing. But no, the general theme is Russia 142 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.079 is is uh, you know, on the offensive on that 143 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:10.079 particular line. And again there's there's things happening elsewhere. There 144 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.639 was few drones that Russia flew at Kiev last night. 145 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.560 A couple of people died there. There were also reports 146 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.839 of drones that the Ukrainians had fired in this in 147 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:27.000 this region in Russia Key and basically most of those 148 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.800 were shot down as well. So other things are happening 149 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.720 curious too. At the Zapparichia Nuclear power plant, smoke was 150 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.320 rising from one of the cooling towers, very very disturbing. 151 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.080 The Russians say it was a Ukrainian missile attack. The 152 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.639 Ukrainians say no, it was the Russians that just lit 153 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.919 some tires up to create some smoke in that area. 154 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:55.600 The IAEA has the monitors on the site. We're hoping 155 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.120 to hear from them as soon as possible to get 156 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:02.080 their take on the who's in this latest incident. Put 157 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.960 it that way, at the at the nuclear plant, and. 158 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.240 Who is controlling the nuclear power plant right now? Is 159 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.039 it Russia or Ukraine or is it neither. 160 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.879 It's Russia. They've been there at Parkdyle for a long time. 161 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.639 They had some trouble of getting electricity in to cool 162 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.000 the nuclear rods. So in essence, it's in a quote 163 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.120 unquote shutdown mode right now. So it's it's it's it's 164 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.080 about a safe if you want to put it that way, 165 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.679 as it can be, but it is. It is not 166 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:33.440 in a good situation. Put it that way. 167 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.799 Okay. Is there anything positive for Ukraine that we have? 168 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.759 Tom, Well, again, some people are saying this incursion made 169 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:44.240 and I don't totally buy into this, but some bloggers 170 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.320 are saying it may be, if you will, a bargaining 171 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.399 ploy saying if and when they ever sit down around 172 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.919 a table, they can say, well, look we can, we can, 173 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:55.360 we can you know, incur some damage on the Russian 174 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.440 side as well, and that may help them a little 175 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.879 bit in the negotiation. But it's difficult to see that, 176 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.840 but that is what some people are saying. 177 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:06.320 All right, Tom Rivers, thank you so much for the update. 178 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:10.039 We appreciate it. Take care all right. Let's get back 179 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:11.679 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 180 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.480 twenty four hour newsroom. A driver's been hurt when he 181 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.480 crashed into a home in Buena Park and knocked a 182 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.159 bee hive loose.

The last time a husband and wife 248 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.200 were number one and two was in nineteen ninety. That's 249 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.120 when Bruce Willis had the number one movie die Hard, 250 00:13:55.480 --> 00:14:00.080 and Demi Moore debuted at number two with Ghost at 251 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.679 six oh five. It's handle on the news. The US 252 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.559 has ordered more ships to the Middle East as Iran 253 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:08.480 continues to threaten to attack Israel, and at five point 254 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:10.480 fifty oh, you know what, We're going to go back 255 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.679 here right now, though, we got to say good morning 256 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:18.840 to ABC's Innez de la Katera in Paris. One last time, boujeoor, 257 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:26.919 what last time? It's so sad? Are you crying? Are 258 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:29.000 you really sad? Or are you ready to be done 259 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:29.639 with it all this? 260 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:32.799 You know, I am looking to resting a little bit. 261 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:33.759 But it is sad. 262 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.759 It is the Olympic Blues. We've talked about it. It's 263 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.720 a real thing, and you starting to feel that way 264 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.279 in the streets of Paris. It's much calmer the tourists 265 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:42.759 have left. 266 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.879 Yeah, okay, so before look, before we talk about the 267 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.440 closing ceremonies, let's check in on some of the highlights 268 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.080 of the final weekend of the Olympic Games. First of all, 269 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.120 did you get a chance to go see any breaking. 270 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:55.639 I did? 271 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:57.919 I did. I went off on Saturday. I went to 272 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.919 go see the men's competition to the boys. I got 273 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:04.480 to see American Victor Montalvo perform. He ended up winning 274 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.000 the bronze, so that was very exciting. But I love 275 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.679 it was a weird kind of event, creaking. I think 276 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.519 it was really fun. It was really different from the 277 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:14.519 other competition. Other competitions are fun as well, but this, 278 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.840 you know, had music and dancing and it just felt 279 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.320 like more of a more of a party. Basically, Sadly, 280 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.200 breaking will not be back in LA. It might be 281 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.000 back in twenty thirty two, but yeah, LA twenty twenty 282 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.480 eight is not going to include breaking. 283 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.440 Okay, you know, so I don't know what you're feeling. 284 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:32.799 Like you said, it was just kind of weird, and 285 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.519 I thought it was interesting. I thought it was sort 286 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:37.720 of fun, and then I was like, but this isn't 287 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:42.120 It's not a sport. But then man, the dancers are 288 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.200 so athletic and they have to be so strong and powerful, 289 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.120 but I still just it didn't feel like an Olympic event. 290 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.159 Yeah, that's how I feel as well. I mean it is, 291 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.279 you know, the moves that they pull off are incredibly complex, 292 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:58.840 and so I could see that side of it. But yeah, 293 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.600 and I think the judging itself was kind of I think, 294 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.039 you know, that's something that faced a little bit of criticism. 295 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.440 It's so subjective, so it's it's hard to make the 296 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:08.960 case that it should be part of the Olympics. But yeah, 297 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:11.000 this is part. Basically, every host city is allowed to 298 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.320 pick certain sports if they want to include in the Olympics, 299 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:17.240 and Paris picks breaking La has not, but LA is 300 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:23.279 picking some new sports, you know, lacrosse, squash, flag football, cricket, 301 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:24.679 and baseball. 302 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.279 Oh and flag football. That's an interesting choice. 303 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:28.639 I like that. 304 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:33.639 Okay, So closing ceremony, did you go to that or 305 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:35.559 just did you have to sit and watch it on 306 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:36.559 TV like the rest of us. 307 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:39.039 I had to sit and watch it on TV. 308 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:39.879 I had to. 309 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:41.879 I had to be live so we can go live 310 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.240 from the venue, so I had to be closer to 311 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.960 the Eiffel Tower. But so, yeah, I watched it on TV. 312 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.399 I mean the moment we've all been waiting for with 313 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:53.679 Tom Cruise dropping down into the stadium and then riding 314 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.759 off into the Olympics or writing off with the Olympic 315 00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.559 flag back to La. I thought that was pretty mean. 316 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.159 The handover from Paris to LA. I thought it was 317 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:05.359 cool that the red hot chili pepper is really Eilish 318 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.920 the dog were all waiting there on the other side 319 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.680 of the world for the Olympic flag. That was kind 320 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:12.559 of neat. And yeah, I think that was the highlight 321 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:13.519 really of the clothing there. 322 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:13.839 Money. 323 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.839 I thought it was kind of funny because that was 324 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:21.000 did they call him the traveler? The gold guy? You know, 325 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.960 but he, yeah, or he or she or whatever dropped 326 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.920 down into the stadium and was sort of, you know, 327 00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.079 like on a zip line or repelling or something. And 328 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:32.839 I was like, they've been saying that Tom Cruise is 329 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:34.359 going to do that. Oh my god, is that guy 330 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.519 in gold? Is that going to be Tom Cruise? That 331 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.920 was my first thought. But yeah, so I thought that 332 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:43.119 that was so much fun, so much fun. So some 333 00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:45.799 are already looking forward to twenty twenty eight. And I 334 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:49.519 heard that Stephen Netterosik wants gold and he's right now 335 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.839 saying that he will compete in men's gymnastics. 336 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:55.359 Oh well, there we go. Yeah, it's gonna be fun 337 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.039 to see all these athletes. I mean, that's kind of 338 00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.240 what makes it so sad is he's gotten attached to 339 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.200 these people. Feel who've gotten to know them over these 340 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:04.480 last few weeks, who've gotten to, you know, learn about 341 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:07.880 their personalities. In his case, the whole thing is club 342 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:11.400 kids and the sunglasses and the Rusik's Cube. But yeah, 343 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:13.359 and then and then we feel like we've gotten to 344 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.640 know them and we won't be seeing them for reveus. 345 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.279 They'll be around, but yes, we're hopefully going to be 346 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.880 seeing them again. At the next Olympics in twenty twenty eight. 347 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.759 So yes, he's saying he hopes to compete. I was 348 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:27.400 speaking speaking with the women's soccer team. They also hope 349 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.079 to make it to LA twenty twenty eight. You know, 350 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.880 Katie Ladecki has indicated she might also compete, and Simone Biles, 351 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.640 who you know again on the older side for a gymnast. 352 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.160 She has said that because it's a home game, you know, 353 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.119 she's not ruling it out basically, so all eyes on 354 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:43.680 her as well. 355 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.319 Cool And speaking of women's gymnastics, we've got a little 356 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:48.119 controversy going with Jordan Chiles. 357 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.839 Yeah, yeah, so a bit of an unfortunate one there 358 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.799 to major disappointment really over the weekend. So the Court 359 00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.640 of Force arbitration voiding an appeal that is filed by 360 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.759 her coaches to have her initial score reviewed during the 361 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.880 score final, so she initially was in fifth place. Her 362 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:09.240 coaches felt she didn't get the points she deserved considering 363 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.039 how difficult her routine was. They appealed to the judges 364 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:14.519 to review that score. The judges ruled in her favor 365 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.200 that slumped her score up got her to third place. 366 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.160 That's how she got the broads, but the Court of 367 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:22.000 Sports Arbitration says that that appeal came too late, so 368 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:24.799 the coaches really only have a minute to submit that appeal, 369 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:28.640 and the court says the appeal came after that one 370 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:31.079 minute deadline, so they're avoiding the appeal, they're avoiding the 371 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:34.039 new score. She's reverted back to her old score, back 372 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.119 to fifth place, and the IOC ruled she would have 373 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:39.720 to give back her medal. I will say, the US 374 00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:41.759 Olympic Committee, it's going to fight for this, So they 375 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:44.119 are appealing the decision. They say they feel strongly that 376 00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:46.480 she deserved the medal because really this comes down to 377 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:50.039 a technicality, this rule, the one minute rule. It's not 378 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:54.559 that her performance didn't merit the score, so you know, 379 00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:56.359 and the judges had made an error without you know, 380 00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.799 by not giving her the points for difficulty. So I 381 00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:00.960 think we're going to see a lot of back and 382 00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:04.279 forth in the coming days. Just a huge disappointment for Jordan, 383 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:05.039 and it'll. 384 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.519 Be interesting to see because you said that they missed 385 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:10.039 the deadline. So once the scores posted, from what I 386 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:13.960 what I understand, they have one minute or sixty seconds 387 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:19.480 to challenge it, right, and the challenge came in sixty 388 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:23.240 four seconds later, and it's crazy. 389 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.559 It's crazy. So we're talking about, you know, four second difference. Yeah, 390 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.480 I think that's why, you know, everyone's you know, a 391 00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:30.960 social people who followed you in ATHLETs closely, and the 392 00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:34.279 athletes themselves are are extremely disappointed because it's not that 393 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.759 her routine didn't merit that score, it's the judges made 394 00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.000 a mistake regarding her scoring and then the appeal from 395 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.799 her coaches came four seconds too late. But yeah, so 396 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:47.759 that's why you're hearing the US Olympic Committee saying they 397 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.359 feel strongly that she deserves that bronze medal. So yeah, 398 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:54.759 I mean it's a crazy situation. And yeah, there's going 399 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:56.240 to be a lot more to come, I think on 400 00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:58.440 that on that front, and certainly a storyline to watch 401 00:20:58.480 --> 00:20:59.079
