Speaker 3: with La County DA Nathan Hawkman today to make their

Speaker 3: rehabilitation during their thirty five years in prison for killing
Speaker 3: their parents in nineteen eighty nine. The one hundred and
Speaker 3: nineteenth US Congress will be sworn in this afternoon, but
Speaker 3: first they have to elect a new House speaker. It's
Speaker 3: not clear for public and Mike Johnson has the votes
Speaker 3: needed to reach his position. We're gonna find out what
Speaker 3: Johnson needs to do to keep the gabble and whether
Speaker 3: he can keep it with kfi's White House correspondent John Decker.
Speaker 3: That's coming up in about three minutes. Let's get started
Speaker 3: with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
Speaker 3: twenty four hour newsroom. Two people have been killed when
Speaker 3: a small plane crashed into a building near the Fullerton Airport.
Speaker 3: Beliefs say there were about two hundred workers inside the
Speaker 3: furniture warehouse on Raymer Avenue in the plane crashed through
Speaker 3: the roof yesterday afternoon. Jerome Cruz, who works there, says
Speaker 3: all he saw was a fireball in black smoke before
Speaker 3: everyone was told to get out West Wesker.
Speaker 5: We don't know what's going on, and when we came
Speaker 5: out of please tell us that it's a plane at
Speaker 5: the top of the roof.
Speaker 3: It's believed the pilot and his teenage daughter were the
Speaker 3: only people on the single engine plane. NTSB Aviation Accident
Speaker 3: investigator Elliott Simpson says the pilot reported he needed to
Speaker 3: return to the airport about ninety seconds after takeoff.
Speaker 2: Ultimately crashed about one thousand feet short of runway two,
Speaker 2: full finiture building and immediately caught fire.
Speaker 3: Nineteen people were hurt, more than ten of them were
Speaker 3: taken to the hospital. Two days after a mass murderer
Speaker 3: killed fourteen people on Bourbon Street, the French Quarter in
Speaker 3: New Orleans has come back to life. ABC's Jim Ryan
Speaker 3: says it had been quiet there since Wednesday.
Speaker 5: After the terror attack. Law enforcers from various agencies nearly
Speaker 5: outnumber the tourists in the French Quarter at Louisiana. Governor
Speaker 5: Jeff Landry observed.
Speaker 6: This is one of the safest places on Earth.
Speaker 5: Thursday night, the public took him at his word.
Speaker 3: Federal, state, and law A local law enforcement officials say
Speaker 3: so far they haven't found any co conspirators who might
Speaker 3: have helped the man who drove his pickup into the
Speaker 3: crowd of New Year's Eve revelers. We're going to talk
Speaker 3: more with ABC's Jim Ryan find out the latest from
Speaker 3: New Orleans that's coming up at five twenty. Authorities in
Speaker 3: Las Vegas are still going through the personal history of
Speaker 3: Matthew Leibelsberger or Livelsburger, the man who blew up a
Speaker 3: rented Tesla cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel on New
Speaker 3: Year's Day. ABC's Mola Lange says the motive is still
Speaker 3: not clear.
Speaker 6: He was a master sergeant in the Green Berets If
Speaker 6: authorities say that he was on approved leave from his
Speaker 6: current active duty posting at his base in Germany at
Speaker 6: the time of the deadly incident.
Speaker 3: He says. Littelsberger's wife told authorities that he'd been out
Speaker 3: of the house in Colorado Springs since Christmas, following a
Speaker 3: dispute over infidelity. A lot of renters in LA are
Speaker 3: about to pay more in rent. Owners of rent controlled
Speaker 3: properties can high rents up to four percent. Non rent
Speaker 3: controlled properties could see rents go up by eight percent.
Speaker 3: Landlords can add an additional two percent to the monthly
Speaker 3: rent if they cover utilities as well. Let's say good
Speaker 3: morning now to kfi's White House correspondent John Decker. Good
Speaker 3: morning and happy New year, John, Happy new year.
Speaker 7: To you two Amy, Thanks for having me on today.
Speaker 3: Okay, so Congress comes back today. First order of business
Speaker 3: is to elect a House Speaker.
Speaker 8: That's right, easier said than done, though, because of the
Speaker 8: very narrow majority that House Republicans have in the one
Speaker 8: hundred and nineteenth Congress. Already one House Republican has indicated
Speaker 8: publicly they will not support Mike Johnson. They will not
Speaker 8: vote for Mike Johnson. And because of that very narrow majority,
Speaker 8: Mike Johnson, if he wants to be the next Speaker
Speaker 8: of the House to be re elected to that position,
Speaker 8: he can only afford to lose one additional Republican vote
Speaker 8: given that every Democrat will be voting for their candidate,
Speaker 8: and that's Haakeem Jeffrey so the vote takes place noon
Speaker 8: Eastern time today, and it's still not known at this
Speaker 8: point whether or not Mike Johnson will have the votes
Speaker 8: on the first round to be the next Speaker of
Speaker 8: the House of Representatives.
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's play with the numbers a little bit, because,
Speaker 3: like you said that, it's such a narrow majority because, well,
Speaker 3: for one, because President elect Trump pulled a couple of
Speaker 3: people from Congress to put him in his administration.
Speaker 7: That's right.
Speaker 8: And you've also had an individual named Matt Gates, a
Speaker 8: former congressman from Florida who has left Congress resigned his seat.
Speaker 8: That seat still needs to be filmed. Another person that
Speaker 8: you're alluding to, a least Deffanic who has been nominated
Speaker 8: by Donald Trump to be the next US Ambassador to
Speaker 8: the United Nations. So that's another reason why, at least
Speaker 8: in the first three months of the new year, before
Speaker 8: special elections take place, Republicans have such a narrow majority.
Speaker 3: Okay, Now, so one has already said nope, not going
Speaker 3: to vote for you, and then are others mostly falling
Speaker 3: in line or is there a group that's kind of
Speaker 3: being noncommittal or what's that picture looking like?
Speaker 7: Here's what the picture is looking like.
Speaker 8: Most House Republicans are going to vote for Mike Johnson
Speaker 8: on the first round, but there are eight House Republicans
Speaker 8: in particular who have not declared publicly how they're going
Speaker 8: to vote, and they're not satisfied with the way that
Speaker 8: Mike Johnson has run the House of Representatives for a
Speaker 8: variety of reasons. It really depends upon the member. For
Speaker 8: some it's concessions that they believe he's made to Democrats.
Speaker 8: For others, it's his support or continued financial support for
Speaker 8: Ukraine in its fight against Russia. The members we're talking
Speaker 8: about include Andy Biggs of Arizona, Tim Burchett from Tennessee,
Speaker 8: Eric Burlison from Missouri, Andy Harris from Maryland, and then
Speaker 8: you also have Ralph Norman from South Carolina, Scott Perry
Speaker 8: from Pennsylvania, Chip Roy from Texas, and Victorious Sparks, she's
Speaker 8: from Indiana. Each of those members likely has been contacted
Speaker 8: by President e like Donald Trump over the course of
Speaker 8: the past forty eight hours trying to twist their arm,
Speaker 8: trying to get them to support Mike Johnson. And we'll
Speaker 8: see how that vote goes. Whether that you know, Full
Speaker 8: Court Press has been effective by Mike Johnson and his
Speaker 8: team to secure the necessary votes to be the next
Speaker 8: Speaker of the House.
Speaker 3: Okay, and you mentioned that the President elect is probably
Speaker 3: going to be doing making some phone calls. Did his
Speaker 3: endorsement a few days ago? Does that help or is
Speaker 3: it a non issue?
Speaker 8: Well, it doesn't hurt for some members, it's a non issue,
Speaker 8: you know. I mean a lot of these members come
Speaker 8: from very safe Republican districts. Their constituents like them, they
Speaker 8: like the way they vote, they're supportive of them. Thomas Massey,
Speaker 8: who's already said he's not voting for Mike Johnson, is
Speaker 8: beloved in his district in Kentucky. So it really depends
Speaker 8: upon the member and whether or not they feel that
Speaker 8: a threat of a primary challenge is a real threat
Speaker 8: to them and their political well being.
Speaker 3: So, john what does Mike Johnson himself do today? Is
Speaker 3: he making phone calls or is he just kind of
Speaker 3: waiting for the first vote.
Speaker 7: No, he's been making phone calls. He's been doing that.
Speaker 8: And he met with President elect Donald Trump on election
Speaker 8: Day at mar A Lago, trying to demonstrate that there
Speaker 8: is strong support coming from the President elect for his candidacy.
Speaker 8: It's important that Republicans have a House speaker for this reason.
Speaker 8: That's upcoming, and that's January sixth, that's the certification date
Speaker 8: for the presidential election. You cannot have that certification process
Speaker 8: on January sixth, Amy, unless you have a House speaker.
Speaker 8: So you know, I think it's going to happen. I
Speaker 8: can't tell you if it's going to be the first
Speaker 8: round or if it's going to be like it was
Speaker 8: with Kevin McCarthy on the fifteenth round. But I think
Speaker 8: that by the end of the day today we should
Speaker 8: have a House speaker. It's likely to be Mike Johnson,
Speaker 8: but likely doesn't mean definitively going to be Mike Johnson.
Speaker 8: That's why the vote that will take place today is
Speaker 8: really going to be interesting. When I read through those
Speaker 8: names of people that are on the fence that are
Speaker 8: non committal, I read those names alphabetically because that's the
Speaker 8: way the vote takes place, and if you're following along
Speaker 8: as the vote takes place, you can get a sense
Speaker 8: about how things are going for Mike Johnson.
Speaker 3: Gotcha? And are any other names being floated? Are we
Speaker 3: hearing anything besides Mike Johnson?
Speaker 7: Amy, there's no Plan B.
Speaker 8: But keep in mind, when Kevin McCarthy ran for the speakership,
Speaker 8: finally securing the speakership on the fifteenth round, there wasn't
Speaker 8: a Plan B, nor was there a Plan B when
Speaker 8: he was ousted, and then Mike Johnson sort of appeared
Speaker 8: out of nowhere. You know, one name that I hear
Speaker 8: often from some Republicans is Jim Jordan from Ohio.
Speaker 7: So could that be a Plan B?
Speaker 8: Perhaps? But I think that Mike Johnson actually has more
Speaker 8: support within the House Republican conference right now than Jim
Speaker 8: Jordan does, and that's why I say he is likely
Speaker 8: to be the next Speaker of the House.
Speaker 3: Okay, and then one final question, John, I'm always so
Speaker 3: fascinated with all the gamesmanship of politics. If there is
Speaker 3: no speaker elected today, we're just playing the what if game.
Speaker 3: If there was no speaker today and then the election
Speaker 3: couldn't be certified on Monday as it's supposed to, So
Speaker 3: would they just delay it or does that cause some
Speaker 3: sort of a crisis if it doesn't happen on January sixth?
Speaker 8: Well, it's interesting, you know, if you're want to play
Speaker 8: this game out, and it's fun to play these games out,
Speaker 8: know how, Speaker when January twentieth comes around, think about that,
Speaker 8: no certification of the presidential election, then there is constitutionally
Speaker 8: a person who would assume the presidency. It's not Joe Biden,
Speaker 8: by the way, it's the person who is the most
Speaker 8: senior Republican in the US Senate. It's Chuck Grassley, who
Speaker 8: is even older than Joe Biden. So if you want
Speaker 8: to play that out, that's the way that would play out.
Speaker 3: Okay, but we're not thinking that's probably going to happen
Speaker 3: by Lake, We're.
Speaker 7: Not thinking that's probable. That's right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that you're going to have the speaker
Speaker 8: by the end of the day today.
Speaker 7: I can't tell you how many rounds it's going to go.
Speaker 8: I could never have predicted it would have taken fifteen
Speaker 8: rounds for Kevin McCarthy to win the speakership. Matt Gates
Speaker 8: is no longer in the House, so you know, if
Speaker 8: he wants to play some mischief, he's not there anymore
Speaker 8: to play any mischief. But we'll see what happens with
Speaker 8: those nine members that I mentioned and what they ultimately
Speaker 8: do when the vote takes place in just a few hours.
Speaker 3: Okay, and we'll be watching and then we'll talk to
Speaker 3: you again very soon. Kfi's White House correspondent, John Decker,
Speaker 3: thanks so much for the time and information this morning.
Speaker 7: Thanks Amy, have a great day and a great weekend.
Speaker 3: By But let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 3: coming out of the twenty four hour newsroom. Isn't that fascinating?
Speaker 3: I just find politics so fascinating. Over one hundred more
Speaker 3: women have sued in obgyn in Beverly Hills. Fifty other
Speaker 3: former patients have already sued, claiming the doctor sexually abused them.
Speaker 3: This is the third lawsuit filed against doctor Barry Brock
Speaker 3: and Cedar Sideye Medical Medical Center. Brock was a doctor
Speaker 3: for more than forty years. The lawsuit claims Cedars knew

Speaker 3: went to go see a friend for New Year's and
Speaker 3: actually it was so much fun. We went up to
Speaker 3: Pasa robles or robe lists depending on how you want
Speaker 3: to pronounce it. But I was listening to the radio
Speaker 3: station Impasa robles or robe and it was said both ways.
Speaker 3: I'm like, you guys need to make up your mind.
Speaker 3: It's your hometown. Anyway.
Speaker 4: They do.
Speaker 3: They have like an old fashioned town square and there's
Speaker 3: shops and restaurants and then there's a big park in
Speaker 3: the middle. And they had a big bonfire and a
Speaker 3: band for New Year's Eve. It was so cool and
Speaker 3: it was, you know, a beautiful night chili and they
Speaker 3: had the bonfire going and the music and the countdown,
Speaker 3: and of course it's wine country, so they had wine
Speaker 3: and it was a fun New Year. So yeah, but
Speaker 3: I think maybe standing outside for two hours on New
Speaker 3: Year's Eve, maybe that's what ushered in this cold. We'll see.
Speaker 3: Mayor Karen Bass has announced more resources will be made
Speaker 3: available to help get homeless veterans off the streets of

Speaker 3: A couple from southern California's agreed to pay ten million
Speaker 3: dollars to settle Medicare and medical fraud case. Prosecutors say

Speaker 3: six years, the doctor founded Southern California Medical Center. His
Speaker 3: wife is its CEO. The first snow survey of the
Speaker 3: year shows water levels at the survey location off Highway
Speaker 3: fifty are at ninety one percent of average. California Department
Speaker 3: of Water Resources officials say a snow depth of twenty
Speaker 3: four inches was recorded. That's nine inches of water. Statewide,
Speaker 3: the snowpack is one hundred and eight percent of average
Speaker 3: for this time. At six oh five, it's Handle on
Speaker 3: the news. But it's not Handle. It's Wayne Resnick. One
Speaker 3: more day today, he's retiring. Can you believe that? I
Speaker 3: know Will Aus his mic off, but he's booing in
Speaker 3: the background. Yeah, so you'll get to hear Wayne one
Speaker 3: more time today. So stick around for that Handle on
Speaker 3: the news starts at six oh five. Right now, let's
Speaker 3: say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim, it's been
Speaker 3: two days now since a man ran down and killed
Speaker 3: people along Bourbon Street. What have we learned?
Speaker 5: Well, I think twenty four hours ago you and I
Speaker 5: were talking Amy about the possibility, maybe the likelihood that
Speaker 5: more people were involved. Twenty four hours later, the FBI
Speaker 5: says that shamsu din Jabbar acted by himself, and he
Speaker 5: acted alone and when he drove that four one fifty
Speaker 5: pickup truck down Bourbon Street, killing fourteen before he was
Speaker 5: shot by police. I think a lot of the initial
Speaker 5: maybe confusion came because witnesses had said that they saw
Speaker 5: someone dropping off these plastic picnic coolers that contained improvised
Speaker 5: explosive devices. Well, somebody had done that, But it turns out,
Speaker 5: and I'm looking at an FBI poster now that shows
Speaker 5: security video, it was shehampsu din Jabbar who did that.
Speaker 5: It wasn't other people. So at least right now, the
Speaker 5: working theory is that this was a lone wolf attack.
Speaker 3: Jim, I'm curious because it again you said that it
Speaker 3: was it was the guy who actually put those coolers out.
Speaker 3: Did he do it hours before the attack, minutes before
Speaker 3: the attack, or do we know the timeframe of that little.
Speaker 5: Over an hour? The attack happened at about three thirty
Speaker 5: the first and the explosive was placed at about two
Speaker 5: oh three. These two explosives and within a few minutes
Speaker 5: of two oh three, so it was about an hour
Speaker 5: before the pickup truck came roaring down Bourbon Street, and
Speaker 5: they were placed at different locations on Bourbon Street, one
Speaker 5: on Bourbon Down at the other end near govinor Nichols,
Speaker 5: and another one place not too far away from here.
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was within an hour at least little
Speaker 5: over an hour, which.
Speaker 3: Is also interesting when you think about how did he
Speaker 3: know where he could get access to the street and
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. Was he walking around for hours
Speaker 3: kind of casing and looking for vulnerabilities or did he
Speaker 3: just happen to go to the one place that he
Speaker 3: could get through.
Speaker 5: Well, unfortunately it wasn't too difficult. All he had to
Speaker 5: do was to drive on a police car that was
Speaker 5: parked at the end of Bourbon Street to keep people
Speaker 5: from driving onto the street. He just went around it
Speaker 5: and came down Bourbon Street. This is fascinating to me.
Speaker 5: In twenty nineteen and an organization called inter four International,
Speaker 5: which is a consulting firm security consulting firm working at
Speaker 5: the direction of the French Quarter Management Group, did a survey,
Speaker 5: did a study. It had been commissioned to do this study,
Speaker 5: and it found that the French Quarter is vulnerable to
Speaker 5: this very sort of thing that a vehicle could be
Speaker 5: used as a weapon of mass destruction. That's what happened here.
Speaker 5: And it made these recommendations for improved barriers, and those
Speaker 5: were being put into place five years later, almost, and
Speaker 5: they were supposed to be in place by the time
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl came, but unfortunately it comes weeks too late,
Speaker 5: because we saw what happened on New Year's morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and initially I was wondering, you know, when you're
Speaker 3: hearing all of about this and the information's coming in,
Speaker 3: You're like, why were people not able to jump out
Speaker 3: of the way. But then just last night I saw
Speaker 3: a video of the car speeding down the street and
Speaker 3: a couple of people were able to get out of
Speaker 3: the way, but the street was very narrow and he
Speaker 3: was going really fast.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was, he floored and was moving by the
Speaker 5: time he got down. Where I am, I'm looking out
Speaker 5: onto Bourbon Street right now. The pavement itself, it's probably
Speaker 5: thirty five forty feet wide. These are old, old The
Speaker 5: streets are three hundred years old, you know, on the
Speaker 5: buildings on either side, and so you're right, they are
Speaker 5: fairly narrow, and then you've got a curb leading up
Speaker 5: to the sidewalk, so and if you saw, you know,
Speaker 5: some of the people who were struck and killed, they
Speaker 5: were faced the opposite direction. They were looking the other
Speaker 5: way and the truck raced up behind them and struck them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And of course they're still trying to figure out
Speaker 3: more about this guy, like do we have more information
Speaker 3: about what may have caused him to get radicalized? There
Speaker 3: saying that he was inspired by ISIS. But his personal life,
Speaker 3: I heard something about a couple of divorces.
Speaker 5: Yes, and financial issues that came with that. He had
Speaker 5: a good job. He was making one hundred and thirty
Speaker 5: thousand dollars a year I think as a real estate
Speaker 5: agent and with some other businesses. But because of a
Speaker 5: couple of divorces, he was paying out thousands every month
Speaker 5: in child support and other payments related to that. His
Speaker 5: twenty seven thousand dollars behind in the house payment that
Speaker 5: is where his wife was living. So he had some
Speaker 5: deep financial troubles. But his brother, who spoke yesterday to
Speaker 5: ABC News, said that this was completely out of character.
Speaker 5: That he was a peaceful and fun loving guy, that
Speaker 5: he was normal, he had a good job, he loved
Speaker 5: his family and all that. So it's not really clear
Speaker 5: what snapped. The FBI things that sometime last summer he
Speaker 5: became radicalized and he started looking at you know, ISIS
Speaker 5: documents and ISIS information. Apparently that's where he came up
Speaker 5: with this idea to drive a truck down Bourbon Street.
Speaker 3: So what's next in the investigation.
Speaker 5: Well, they've taken four hundred, more than four hundred tips
Speaker 5: from the public about all sorts of aspects related to
Speaker 5: this and they're following up on that, and so that's
Speaker 5: going to take some time, but still trying to answer
Speaker 5: questions about the motivation of this person.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and as you just mentioned, they need to figure
Speaker 3: out some ways to shore up Bourbon Street because Super
Speaker 3: Bowl is just around the corner.
Speaker 5: It is. Well, the plan was to have these new
Speaker 5: ballards in place, these new barricades, firm barricades that wouldn't
Speaker 5: let this happen again. The plan was to have those
Speaker 5: in place by the time the super Bowl is played
Speaker 5: here in New Orleans. Unfortunately they aren't in place yet,
Speaker 5: and so this police car that was blocking the street
Speaker 5: wasn't nearly enough.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, ABC's Jim Ryan, thanks for the update. We appreciate
Speaker 3: the information. We'll talk again soon.
Speaker 5: Thanks.
Speaker 3: Jamy all right, The Rose Parade has wrapped up, but
Speaker 3: the floats are still putting on a show. Tournament of
Speaker 3: Roses member Anne Saieg says the Explorer Louisiana Float has
Speaker 3: taken on a new significance after Wednesday morning's truck attack

Speaker 3: would establish a Chuckwala National Monument south of Joshua Tree
Speaker 3: National Park. The Washington Post is reporting that Biden's plan
Speaker 3: is to establish the monument, which would make the drilling, mining,

Speaker 3: in the Seattle area has animal researchers asking questions. ABC's
Speaker 3: Andrew Dimbert says their attention is focused on a pod
Speaker 3: of endangered orcas.
Speaker 2: Aggrieving mother whale known as J thirty five, has been
Speaker 2: seen this week carrying the body of her deceased calf
Speaker 2: and what researchers are calling an active mourning hess.
Speaker 3: J thirty five made headlines doing the same thing seven
Speaker 3: years ago after losing a different calf. She carried its
Speaker 3: remains for more than one thousand miles over seventeen days.
Speaker 3: Heartbreaking right. A ban on indoor and outdoor woodburning has
Speaker 3: been extended. It'll be in effect through at least midnight
Speaker 3: tonight in much of southern California because of a forecast
Speaker 3: of high pollution. The residential woodburning ban applies to everybody
Speaker 3: in the South Coast air Base and including non desert
Speaker 3: areas of La Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, as well
Speaker 3: as all of Orange County. It means burning wood and
Speaker 3: fireplaces or any word burning device is prohibited, and that
Speaker 3: includes manufactured fire logs. The man who blew up a
Speaker 3: cybertruck outside the Trump Las Vegas Hotel has been identified
Speaker 3: as an army veteran from Colorado. Police say he rented
Speaker 3: the electric truck and drove it to Las Vegas from Colorado.

Speaker 3: budget deficit. Layoffs good happen this spring. If the plan
Speaker 3: gets final approval. Governor Newsom will deliver his State of
Speaker 3: the State address on January tenth. It happens before President
Speaker 3: elect Trump takes office. In the past few years, the
Speaker 3: earliest Newsom has delivered his State of the State was
Speaker 3: March at six o five. It's handled on the news.
Speaker 3: Republicans have their work cut out for them, and that
Speaker 3: happens before they even get sworn in to the one
Speaker 3: hundred nineteenth Congress. Of course, it's not Handle on the news.
Speaker 3: It's Wayne Resnick on the news. One more day, last
Speaker 3: day before retirement for Wayne at five point fifty. You
Speaker 3: don't have to head to theaters to watch Wicked anymore.
Speaker 3: And remember, earlier this week we talked about the new
Speaker 3: season of Squid Games. I have an addendum to my
Speaker 3: recommendation for season two that's coming up in about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3: Right now, let's say good morning too. The host of
Speaker 3: Home on KFI our House whispered Dean Sharp, good morning
Speaker 3: and happy new year.
Speaker 2: Dean, good morning, Happy New Year.
Speaker 6: Amy.
Speaker 3: Oh you sound very energetic.
Speaker 2: I was until I heard that it's a National Sleep Day.
Speaker 2: Well it's a Festival of Sleep Day. Oh it's a festival. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so we all get together and just go to sleep.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't that be fun. We'd have one giant slumber party.
Speaker 2: That would be awesome.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, here's something else. It's awesome. You have the
Speaker 3: Essential Homeowner Toolkit for twenty twenty five. And I love
Speaker 3: this list because I have a few of these things,
Speaker 3: but I don't have all of them. So tell us
Speaker 3: what is the Essential homeowner Toolkit and what are some
Speaker 3: of the things that we need to get for our toolkit.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought it would be great to just start
Speaker 2: the year for our homeowners with you know what I
Speaker 2: think is the essential toolkit that most homeowners should have
Speaker 2: in their home. And it's you know, thirty plus items
Speaker 2: in the toolkit. Some things you would expect, you know, hammer,
Speaker 2: screwdriver kind of thing. Others not necessarily things that homeowners
Speaker 2: would instantly think, oh, yeah, I should probably have that
Speaker 2: in my toolkit. This is sort of from my you know,
Speaker 2: decades of experience and my recommendation. So a few things
Speaker 2: are a little bit off the you know, the beaten path,
Speaker 2: as it were, Like, for instance, right off the top
Speaker 2: the way that you organize your tools. Now, some homeowners
Speaker 2: just absolutely love converting their whole garage into a workshop,
Speaker 2: and it's you know, it's a whole thing, which is great,
Speaker 2: that's great, But you don't have to go that far.
Speaker 2: You don't even have to have a traditional toolbox, and
Speaker 2: that really surprises a lot of people. I don't really
Speaker 2: recommend toolboxes to homeowners. I'll tell you why toolboxes are
Speaker 2: essentially and that's when I say a toolbox, I'm talking
Speaker 2: about a box with a lid and a latch and
Speaker 2: all of that. Toolboxes are designed for contractors. They're designed
Speaker 2: for people who work in the trades to be able
Speaker 2: to grab tools, you know, throw them in the back
Speaker 2: of a truck, take them off site. That's why they've
Speaker 2: got lids and handles and all of that. But for
Speaker 2: a homeowner who's not trads that exactly if you're not
Speaker 2: transporting your tools, okay, then I have found over the years,
Speaker 2: I mean, I use this at my house. I love
Speaker 2: I love a good bucket organizer and a four dollars
Speaker 2: five gallon bucket that you can get at home Depot
Speaker 2: or Lows or any hardware store with a great bucket
Speaker 2: organizer in it. Because number one, there are slots that
Speaker 2: make visible all of your tools to organize your stuff.
Speaker 2: Number Two, it's a bucket, which means whatever project you're
Speaker 2: doing around the house, you can throw in the screws
Speaker 2: and the nails and the glue and the paint or
Speaker 2: whatever it is, carry it right over to where you're working.
Speaker 2: You've got everything right at your fingertips. Even some of
Speaker 2: these bucket organizers, you can buy the optional seat which
Speaker 2: sits on top and now all of a sudden. The
Speaker 2: bucket is the seat for you to sit while you're
Speaker 2: doing whatever it is that you're doing. It's just really handy,
Speaker 2: well organized, very inexpensive, very simple.
Speaker 3: And if you need a five gallon bucket, you've got one.
Speaker 3: Then I've actually come across a need for a five
Speaker 3: gallon bucket and haven't had one. So and this is
Speaker 3: if I'm looking at the picture of it, it's like
Speaker 3: that heavy canvas materials. I don't know if it's canvas,
Speaker 3: but it's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a cordura material.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like what a car heart jacket is made out
Speaker 3: of or something like that. Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. Your
Speaker 3: tools go all the way around, so you can see
Speaker 3: them all and there's a.
Speaker 2: Whole thing inside as well that holds them.
Speaker 3: Okay, so what are what are what are a few
Speaker 3: of them must haves that we might not have for
Speaker 3: that bucket.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you one of the ones that I
Speaker 2: think every homeowner should have that is going to be
Speaker 2: unusual to most homeowners, and that is, let's see, it's
Speaker 2: number twenty four on my list, the self adjusting pipe wrench. Okay,
Speaker 2: pipe wrenches are tricky things. They're just weird. A standard
Speaker 2: pipe wrench, and I think you should have when everybody
Speaker 2: should have a pipe wrench, and that would be number
Speaker 2: twenty three on the list. But a pipe wrench, as
Speaker 2: you know, unlike other wrenches, they're kind of loosey goosey.
Speaker 2: They've got this l shaped top to them, a big
Speaker 2: old nut that you screw and that opens up. It's
Speaker 2: just weird the way a pipe wrench fits around a
Speaker 2: drain pipe and holds it and opens it up. And
Speaker 2: a lot of people really struggle with pipe wrenches. I've
Speaker 2: had so many people say I took mine back because
Speaker 2: it doesn't work, and they all work, but it's just
Speaker 2: a year. Yeah, it's a weird kind of jaw that
Speaker 2: requires a little bit of tension for it to lock
Speaker 2: into place. Well, years ago, okay, maybe ten years ago, Crescent,
Speaker 2: the company Crescent, came up with a spring loaded self
Speaker 2: adjusting pipe wrench. There's no screwing of it. All you
Speaker 2: do is wrap this thing around the pipe and as
Speaker 2: you start to pull on it, it self locks in place.
Speaker 2: It finds its own tension. There's no mess, there's no hass.
Speaker 2: So its only limit is that, you know, every self
Speaker 2: adjusting pipe wrench can only handle up to a certain
Speaker 2: sized pipe, which in this case, the one that I
Speaker 2: would recommend can handle up to a two and a
Speaker 2: half inch pipe, but which is all that most homeowners
Speaker 2: would ever have to deal with. But it is such
Speaker 2: a joy to use. I've got them. And the only
Speaker 2: time I tell you I ever pull out a regular
Speaker 2: pipe wrench is if for some reason the pipe is
Speaker 2: too large for the self adjusting wrench. Because it's so
Speaker 2: easy to use.
Speaker 3: Okay, So then what's what's another one that maybe you
Speaker 3: wouldn't have thought of that is really a must have?
Speaker 2: Well, I would say this a good utility knife. Okay.
Speaker 2: A lot of people have pocket knives or they've got
Speaker 2: they've got you know, it's like, well, I've got a knife.
Speaker 2: You know, I've got a nice buck knife. I'm all
Speaker 2: in favor of those. But here's the thing. A utility
Speaker 2: knife is really at the core of any any great
Speaker 2: tool set. And the reason is, when it comes to knives,
Speaker 2: there's two things you want with a knife. Number One,
Speaker 2: you want it ra razor sharp, and so a utility
Speaker 2: knife holds razor blades, heavy duty razor blades. It doesn't
Speaker 2: get sharper than a utility knife. At the same time.
Speaker 2: You don't want to ruin your blade. Sometimes you want
Speaker 2: to get a blade in there and you know, be
Speaker 2: hacking away at something that would take a normal knife
Speaker 2: blade and just really really mess up your beautiful little
Speaker 2: expensive pocket knife or locking knife or whatever it is.
Speaker 2: And the cool thing about a utility knife is that
Speaker 2: it's razor sharp and the blades are disposable. But getting
Speaker 2: a good one, getting a good one that's really ergonomic
Speaker 2: in your hand, that locks off the blades so it
Speaker 2: doesn't slip, is worth its weight in gold.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm looking at the one that you have a
Speaker 3: picture of them, like mine doesn't look like that, So
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's super comfortable. Yeah, it's ergonomic, it stores blades
Speaker 2: in its own handle, so it's a you know, it's
Speaker 2: a great it's a great knife.
Speaker 3: I wish I had this list before Christmas. I could
Speaker 3: have had a better Christmas list because I need some
Speaker 3: of these things and you couldn't. You just can't have
Speaker 3: a TOOLBA without gorilla tape.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, it's true.
Speaker 3: If you do not have garrilla tape or duct tape,
Speaker 3: you got to go get some.
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing. Is it duck tape or is
Speaker 2: it duct tape?
Speaker 3: It's duct tape, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Actually? Originally it was duck Was it really?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 2: So whenever anybody asked me that question, I'm like, listen,
Speaker 2: it's both. It's both. It's a kind of tape that's
Speaker 2: used for ducts, for like air conditioning, inventing ducks. But
Speaker 2: the original, the very original tape that came out and
Speaker 2: still available today, is branded duck tape because of its
Speaker 2: water resistance as well.
Speaker 3: I did not know that.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 3: I like it. I like it, And then the other
Speaker 3: one you said, electrical tape, and I the other one
Speaker 3: that I think is good. I don't know if it's
Speaker 3: on your list is plumbing tape, because if you do
Speaker 3: have something go a little bit screwy, sometimes a little
Speaker 3: plumbing tape can help.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I've got on the list. So I've got
Speaker 2: thread tape.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's probably what the official name of that is.
Speaker 2: Right when we're reconnecting plumbing fittings, you know, I prefer
Speaker 2: thread tape over pipe goop, because you know, why mess
Speaker 2: with it. Just a couple of wraps of thread tape
Speaker 2: and then put that fitting back together and no leaks,
Speaker 2: no drips, no hassles.
Speaker 3: We love that it's the essential homeowner toolkit. And Dean's
Speaker 3: going to go over much more of this and give
Speaker 3: you some great recommendations this weekend on Home with Dean Sharp.
Speaker 3: I got to get me one of those buckets. And
Speaker 3: it's six to eight am on Saturday and nine to
Speaker 3: noon on Sunday. And thank you as always Dean Sharp.
Speaker 3: We look forward to lots of fun tips for twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five.
Speaker 2: Thanks Amy, and happy New Year.
Speaker 3: All right, Happy New Year. A pilot and his sixteen
Speaker 3: year old daughter have been killed in a small plane
Speaker 3: crash into a warehouse in Fullerton. Officials say nineteen people
Speaker 3: were hurt. Ten were taken to hospitals. Officials are calming
Speaker 3: through the wreckage to try to determine what caused the crash.
Speaker 3: Yesterday afternoon, a man arrested outside Donald Trump rally and
Speaker 3: Coachellas pleaded not to misdemeanor gun charges. Them Miller was
Speaker 3: arrested after guns were found in his vehicle at a
Speaker 3: checkpoint in October. Miller said he had the guns legally
Speaker 3: and is a Trump supporter. Miller later sued the Riverside
Speaker 3: County Sheriff's Department, claiming that his constitutional rights were violated.
Speaker 3: And orca whale that drew international attention when she carried
Speaker 3: her dead calf on her back for more than two
Speaker 3: weeks back in twenty seventeen is doing it again. The
Speaker 3: orca known as J thirty five, was seen Wednesday in
Speaker 3: the waters off Seattle with a baby whale carcass on
Speaker 3: her head. With the loss of the calf, the orcas pod,
Speaker 3: which is a critically endangered subspecies of killer whale, has
Speaker 3: dwindled to seventy three. We're just minutes away from Handle
Speaker 3: on the news this morning, and this morning we get
Speaker 3: Wayne Resnick doing Handle on the news and making the
Speaker 3: case for the Menendez brothers that's coming up right now.
Speaker 3: Let's say good morning to ABC's Will gans Will. It's
Speaker 3: only been in theaters for a month and already we
Speaker 3: can stream Wicked.
Speaker 4: I know. Oh, it's a New Year's miracle, I think
Speaker 4: for anyone who's as obsessed with Wicked as.
Speaker 6: I have been.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a really really quick turnaround. But Wicked
Speaker 4: is available to buy at home for thirty bucks, which
Speaker 4: I guess, depending on where you live, is either a
Speaker 4: lot or sounds like a bargain because you know movie
Speaker 4: tickets here. If you see the movie in three D,
Speaker 4: that's like one and a half tickets. So yeah, Wicket
Speaker 4: is available to stream at home. I've watched it once
Speaker 4: from my couch already, and I think it's perfect timing
Speaker 4: too as we head into award season, since it's sort
Speaker 4: of a favorite in a lot of different categories. For
Speaker 4: folks who are wanting to check off some of those
Speaker 4: big contenders off their list, it's a good time to
Speaker 4: watch wickeed maybe this weekend.
Speaker 3: Okay, so will I have a question for you. You
Speaker 3: mentioned award season and that Wicked may be a contender,
Speaker 3: which is sort of surprising to me because it's not
Speaker 3: the kind of movie that gets a lot of award
Speaker 3: nominations the big blockbuster way.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So it's it's interesting because the last time a
Speaker 4: movie musical did well at award shows would have been Chicago,
Speaker 4: you know, in the early two thousands. But I think
Speaker 4: that Wicked might be flipping the script a little bit
Speaker 4: there because it is such a massive undertaking. It's a
Speaker 4: fan favorite, and you know, critically it's been received very
Speaker 4: well also, so this could be the movie that puts
Speaker 4: musicals maybe back in contention for some of those big awards,
Speaker 4: you know, headed into awards season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and didn't La La Land do pretty good well?
Speaker 3: They they wrongly announced that it had won Best Movie,
Speaker 3: but it didn't.
Speaker 4: Do pretty well. It did. Emma Stone won Best Actress
Speaker 4: for that and so that did do well, and it
Speaker 4: was up for a lot of awards. But you're right,
Speaker 4: it was that very very famous Oops we said the
Speaker 4: wrong name when Moonlight was the real winner. No one
Speaker 4: could ever forget that moment.
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. It's really Moonlight. Okay,
Speaker 3: So here's my question. We were talking about the fast
Speaker 3: turnaround and how that's kind of the way the movies
Speaker 3: are going to be, But this one is still making
Speaker 3: a lot of money in the theaters.
Speaker 4: I guess there may be this might be the experiment. Yeah,
Speaker 4: because it is. It is doing really well in theaters.
Speaker 4: And just last week was the week when they opened
Speaker 4: up the theaters to the special sing along screenings. So
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, if you've seen any of
Speaker 4: the videos of people dressed up and singing along and
Speaker 4: standing up in their seats. But yeah, Wicked is still
Speaker 4: doing very well at the box office. So I think
Speaker 4: maybe they're seeing okay, are there? If we put it
Speaker 4: on streaming, will people continue to go to the theater
Speaker 4: for those special, you know, group experiences, or will this
Speaker 4: you know, streaming release kill what they had going at
Speaker 4: the box office. It'll be interesting to see what happens here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we'll be watching something else you might want
Speaker 3: to watch if you don't want to sing along. Is
Speaker 3: a rather dark show that's available on the stream.
Speaker 4: Yes, so The Penguin couldn't be more different from what
Speaker 4: it is. So it's about, you know, the Batman villain
Speaker 4: the Penguin here in this series, he's played by Colin Farrell,
Speaker 4: who is completely unrecognizable, Like props to the hair and
Speaker 4: makeup team, you can't tell that it's Colin Ferrell at all.
Speaker 4: But this is like, you don't see Batman at all.
Speaker 4: It doesn't feel like a superhero series. It feels like
Speaker 4: a mafia drama series. And it's about like all of
Speaker 4: the the big you know, mob bosses that are running
Speaker 4: Gotham underground. And it is brilliantly acted. It's so gripping.
Speaker 4: I don't tend to like these types of shows. It's heavy,
Speaker 4: it's dark, but I could not stop watching. You know,
Speaker 4: it's only eight episodes, they're about an hour each, and
Speaker 4: I just, I mean, this is a great show for
Speaker 4: anyone who's okay with a little bit of violence and
Speaker 4: a little bit of heavy sort of subject matter.
Speaker 3: Is it an origin story?
Speaker 4: I mean, he's the Penguin sort of picks up. He's
Speaker 4: not completely un he's plugged into the two big crime families,
Speaker 4: and so I mean, yes, I guess you could say
Speaker 4: it is an origin story. It almost feels like it's
Speaker 4: like running concurrently with what we know Batman to have
Speaker 4: been doing in Gotham. So it's not like you see
Speaker 4: him as a kid or anything like that, but you
Speaker 4: do get to know his you know his family and
Speaker 4: his mother, and yeah, it's it's great.
Speaker 3: Do you miss Batman?
Speaker 4: No, I mean that's the cool thing about this show.
Speaker 4: It's like, I'm never waiting for the Batman to show up,
Speaker 4: because the drama that they have going on with both
Speaker 4: the Penguin and these mafia families is enough to just
Speaker 4: keep you completely wrapped. And Christa Miiliotti plays sort of
Speaker 4: the daughter of one of these crime families, and she
Speaker 4: is just I mean, I would not be surprised if
Speaker 4: she wins some big awards at the Golden Globes this
Speaker 4: weekend as well.
Speaker 3: Oh you just mentioned the Golden Globes, so who's expected
Speaker 3: to be I didn't even realize they were coming up
Speaker 3: this weekend. I'm all, my I'm discombobulated because of the holiday.
Speaker 3: And it's really early this year, isn't it.
Speaker 4: It is it is, and it's you know, this is
Speaker 4: the first award show of the season, so you know,
Speaker 4: I think because Thanksgiving was so late this year and
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden Christmas happened and now here
Speaker 4: we are an award season. I'm with you. It's like
Speaker 4: everything is sneaking up on me. But yeah, the Golden
Speaker 4: Globes are Sunday night, and you know it'll be a
Speaker 4: big night. I think as far as movies goes, there's
Speaker 4: this movie called The Brutalist that is expected to do
Speaker 4: well for the drama the drama categories, and then for
Speaker 4: comedy and musical of course Wicked. I think is that
Speaker 4: a big contender along with Amelia Perez and I'm super excited.
Speaker 4: The Golden Globes are going to be hosted on Sunday
Speaker 4: Night by Nicki Glazer, who is the first solo female
Speaker 4: host of the Golden Globes ever, which feels crazy that
Speaker 4: that's even possible, but she is certainly up for the task.
Speaker 4: You know, she had a huge twenty twenty four with
Speaker 4: the roast of Tom Brady and then she had her
Speaker 4: own stand up special on HBO. So you know, last
Speaker 4: year people did not love the Golden Globes host. And I,
Speaker 4: you know, I think that Nicki will prove that when
Speaker 4: it's a really, really excellent host, it makes or breaks
Speaker 4: the show. And I think that she will make the
Speaker 4: show hopefully on Sunday Night.
Speaker 3: Cool And where can we watch that?
Speaker 4: That's on CBS this year for the first time in
Speaker 4: a long time.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, and then will I don't know if
Speaker 3: you've watched Squid Game, but I had to have an addendum.
Speaker 3: We were talking about Squid Game earlier this week because
Speaker 3: the second season is out, and yes, I watched it,
Speaker 3: and then I thought that it was the first half
Speaker 3: of the second season, and then looked and found out
Speaker 3: that it was actually the full second season. And now
Speaker 3: the third season comes out in mid next year. But
Speaker 3: here was my addendum. I said, watch the last episode
Speaker 3: of season one because it's been three years. Yeah, my
Speaker 3: addendum is watch the whole season, because I watched the
Speaker 3: last episode, then I went, well, wait, that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3: So then I went back and watched the one before it,
Speaker 3: and then I said, I gotta go and just watch
Speaker 3: the whole thing. There is so much that I forgot
Speaker 3: about that happened just I mean, for one, I have
Speaker 3: the memory of a nat I don't know about you guys,
Speaker 3: but but for me, it helped so much and it
Speaker 3: made so much more makes sense because again it was
Speaker 3: three years ago and a lot happened that I, yeah,
Speaker 3: just completely had fallen off my radar.
Speaker 4: I think that's really really good advice, and we're going
Speaker 4: to have to do it a few times this year
Speaker 4: because there's some shows with this prestige television it takes
Speaker 4: them so long to film it and to shoot it
Speaker 4: and to edit it and all this stuff that like,
Speaker 4: by the time the next season comes out, you've completely forgotten.
Speaker 4: Severn season two comes out in February, and then Stranger Things,
Speaker 4: the fifth and final season also comes out this year,
Speaker 4: but it's been like over a year since the last
Speaker 4: season of that. So I think that the Amy King
Speaker 4: approach to binging the prior season before the new one
Speaker 4: comes out as a good one.
Speaker 3: Yep, a rebinge is in order. Will gans, thank you
Speaker 3: so much, appreciate it. Happy New Year and we'll talk
Speaker 3: to you again and find out the latest in Hollywood
Speaker 3: next week.
Speaker 4: Sounds like a plan, Amy, Happy New Year to YouTube.
Speaker 3: All right, take care. This is KFI and KOST HD
Speaker 3: two Los Angeles, Orange County, Southland weather from KFI. Lots
Speaker 3: of clouds today. It's going to be cooler. Gosh, it
