Speaker 1: but the sheriff did say foul play is not suspected.
Speaker 1: Hackman's career spanned four decades. He had a trophy case
Speaker 1: filled with awards, including two Oscars. And you know, he
Speaker 1: was in so many movies. We're gonna, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking with Jim Ryan about this, but
Speaker 1: Will and I were talking about our favorite Gene Hackman
Speaker 1: movies and he goes, he was the best Lex Luthor
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, yeah, Superman, he was the best.
Speaker 2: Hello New West Coast, My West Coast, Costa, Lex, Lutherville, Marinadlex, Odisburg, Odisburg.

Speaker 1: more competitive for the film industry.
Speaker 6: The bills, introduced in both chambers in Sacramento, follow Governor

Speaker 6: productions to seven hundred and fifty million dollars. LA Mayor

Speaker 6: the legislation.
Speaker 4: I don't want to stand here five years from now
Speaker 4: and reminisce about an industry that.
Speaker 1: Has left us.
Speaker 6: Productions in LA have slowed in recent years due to
Speaker 6: COVID actors and writers' strikes and more lucrative tax credits
Speaker 6: offered elsewhere. Michael Monks KFI News, ok.
Speaker 1: So, speaking of Gene Hackman, his list of movies is huge.
Speaker 1: He started his movie career in nineteen sixty one Mad
Speaker 1: Dog Call I don't I didn't hear about that one?
Speaker 1: And then he did a couple more, and then in
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven was Bonnie and Clyde When and that's
Speaker 1: when he got his first Academy Award nomination. And then
Speaker 1: let's see what else, the Gypsy Moths. There's a bunch
Speaker 1: of movies that I don't I was too young to remember.
Speaker 1: Downhill Racer I never sang for my father. He got
Speaker 1: an Academy Award nomination for that. Never heard of it.
Speaker 1: French Connections should be in there. Somewhere yeap French connection.
Speaker 1: Of course he got an Academy Award win for that one.
Speaker 1: That was in nineteen seventy one. But then I'm looking
Speaker 1: at this listen. Okay remember the Poseidon Adventure. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: where the boat goes and a big title wave comes
Speaker 1: and tips it upside down and like six of them
Speaker 1: live and they have to get to the the what
Speaker 1: is the bottom of the boat to get out?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I think he was was he? No, he
Speaker 1: wasn't the father in that one? Was he? He wasn't.
Speaker 1: I can't remember. It's been forever. Yeah, Okay, Young Frankenstein
Speaker 1: he had a cameo. And then there was the Fringe
Speaker 1: connection too. Is that any good? I can't tell you.
Speaker 1: And of course Superman Lex Luthor he was he was
Speaker 1: in like one, two, three, four, but one was probably
Speaker 1: the best Miss Tuchbo car. And then he was in
Speaker 1: Reds and then Hoosiers was fantastic, that's right, the coach. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then and how about this one? I forgot about
Speaker 1: this one too, No way out Kevin Costner. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a bad guy in that one. Yeah. And there's
Speaker 1: a whole lot more. We're gonna be talking with ABC's
Speaker 1: Jim Ryan about that in just a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: But right now, let's say good morning to kfi's White
Speaker 1: House correspondent John Decker. Good morning, John. President Trump held
Speaker 1: his first cabinet meeting. Tell us all about it.
Speaker 3: Well, that's right, and it was attended by someone who
Speaker 3: was not confirmed by the US Senate, and that's Elon Musk,
Speaker 3: who is heading up the Department of Government Efficiency. He
Speaker 3: actually spoke more yesterday during that cabinet meeting than the
Speaker 3: Vice president did, which is pretty remarkable. I've covered these
Speaker 3: cabinet meetings for so many years and I can't recall
Speaker 3: a similar situation where a private citizen attended a president's
Speaker 3: cabinet meeting. But the president spoke yesterday as top priority inflation,
Speaker 3: bringing down the cost of eggs and other goods. He
Speaker 3: also announced that there will be new tariffs imposts on
Speaker 3: all of our trading partners starting on April the second
Speaker 3: is when he will make that announcement. And in addition
Speaker 3: to that, Ukraine is something that he spoke about. Tomorrow,
Speaker 3: he'll meet with President Zelensky at the White House. They'll
Speaker 3: sign this mineral rights deal, and President Zelensky coming to
Speaker 3: the White House to sign that agreement. I'll lot on
Speaker 3: the agenda for the President during the course of his
Speaker 3: cabinet meeting yesterday, and I even spoke to two Cabinet secretaries,
Speaker 3: Doug Bergham and Brooke Rawlins after the meeting concluded.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Burgham, I know Rawlins, I don't what's he's
Speaker 1: as Secretary.
Speaker 3: Of Brooke Rawlins, Yeah, let me correct you.
Speaker 1: No, that's fine.
Speaker 3: She is she Yes, she is the agricultural Secretary. I said,
Speaker 3: I think that she has the toughest job right now
Speaker 3: because of the egg situation in this country. And you
Speaker 3: know that was my primary focus of that interview is
Speaker 3: what are you doing? What is the administration doing to
Speaker 3: bring down the cost of eggs in the short term
Speaker 3: and make sure that this is not a long term
Speaker 3: problem in the US. I saw one estimate indicating that
Speaker 3: we're likely to see prices go even higher in the
Speaker 3: short term, upwards of perhaps forty percent more. And you know,
Speaker 3: I don't know about you. It's about ten dollars for
Speaker 3: a dog in extra large eggs here on the East
Speaker 3: coast right now. So that's a big focus for her
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 1: I would imagine there will be a lot of spotlight
Speaker 1: on her. And as you mentioned, the President said specifically,
Speaker 1: we're going to work on getting those egg prices down,
Speaker 1: but there's no quick fix to it because they had
Speaker 1: to kill so many chickens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's because of the bird flu, the avian flu,
Speaker 3: and that's the reason why we're looking to now import
Speaker 3: eggs from some of the countries that we're actually going
Speaker 3: to be placing tariffs upon, Canada, Mexico and other places
Speaker 3: that the US does trade with. So that's the short
Speaker 3: term fix there. Today, the President meets with his British counterpart,
Speaker 3: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. That meeting will take place
Speaker 3: in just a few hours. There will be a joint
Speaker 3: press conference that will take place early this afternoon for
Speaker 3: US eleven am. That's the time period that will take
Speaker 3: place for you. So it's been a really busy week
Speaker 3: for President Trump. You know, he met with Macron. President Trump,
Speaker 3: I met with the French President Macron on Monday, the
Speaker 3: cabinet meeting yesterday, the UK Prime Minister today, and then
Speaker 3: the President Zelenski tomorrow. I can't recall a busy week
Speaker 3: like this one at the White House in quite some time.
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of business as usual for Trump,
Speaker 1: though he kind of is moving at warp speed. Hey,
Speaker 1: they he and mccron were pretty chummy, which you know,
Speaker 1: they've known each other for a while. Has he met
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of the UK yet?
Speaker 3: This will be their first meeting. As you know, the
Speaker 3: President met with quite a few British Prime ministers during
Speaker 3: the course of his four years in office, but here
Speaker 3: Starmer is relatively new to the job as the British
Speaker 3: Prime Minister. So it's a meeting in which they're getting
Speaker 3: to know each other. In fact, they're going to have
Speaker 3: a working lunch together that will precede their joint press conference.
Speaker 3: So that's not something that we saw with the French
Speaker 3: President Macron. That's because the President and Macron do know
Speaker 3: each other going back the past eight years.
Speaker 1: Okay, and here's a little inside baseball. As you know
Speaker 1: that John is our White House correspondent. He gets to
Speaker 1: get in and interview the President periodically. We'll see how
Speaker 1: much that happens with the White House's new plan to
Speaker 1: structure who gets into where. But I know that you
Speaker 1: were in the Oval the other day and you got
Speaker 1: a special something from the President.
Speaker 3: Well, that's right. You know, what I got was one
Speaker 3: of the pens that he used to sign an executive order. Yet,
Speaker 3: why didn't he talk to me the pen? But in actuality,
Speaker 3: that's the second pen that President Trump has given me.
Speaker 3: Gave me a pen in his first term. It was
Speaker 3: the pen that he used to sign that huge tax
Speaker 3: cut bill in his first year in office. So I
Speaker 3: guess he likes giving me pens. I don't know, but
Speaker 3: that was an interesting time. I was in the Oval
Speaker 3: office with President Trump for about forty five minutes, answered
Speaker 3: about a dozen of my questions, many of which made
Speaker 3: a lot of news in that news cycle. Amy, The
Speaker 3: news cycle moves so quickly that we're already onto something else.
Speaker 3: Talking about, for instance, today, the fact that you had
Speaker 3: Elon Musk in that cabinet meeting yesterday.
Speaker 1: I know everybody's kind of losing it over that because
Speaker 1: it's just different than what it's different.
Speaker 3: It's different, that's for sure. And you know what I
Speaker 3: was looking at and watching Again, I was not in
Speaker 3: that cabinet meeting yesterday, but I was watching the video
Speaker 3: and I looked at the body language of the other
Speaker 3: cabinet secretaries and to me, maybe it's just me looking
Speaker 3: at this, they didn't seem so amused by Elon Musk.
Speaker 3: You know, maybe if you can look at that video again,
Speaker 3: you can tell me what you think. Amy, But to me,
Speaker 3: it's not like they're chummy with Elon Musk. And I
Speaker 3: think there's some uncomfortableness because.
Speaker 1: Well, he's going to last budgets.
Speaker 3: There's that. And he's the only one in the room
Speaker 3: that hasn't been confirmed by the US Senate. He's a
Speaker 3: private citizen, and you know, I think that they view
Speaker 3: him to some extent as an interloper being at that
Speaker 3: cabinet meeting yesterday.
Speaker 1: All right, well, it'll be interesting to watch as always.
Speaker 1: You heard the news about Gene Hackman. What was your
Speaker 1: favorite Gene Hackman movie? Can't talk?
Speaker 3: You know, there's so many. I actually watched a Gene
Speaker 3: Hackman movie within the past few weeks. It's an old one.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're familiar with the Conversation. It's
Speaker 3: a really all one directed by Francis port Cooppola. But
Speaker 3: I loved Gene Hackman in so many roles. When I
Speaker 3: think Hollywood casting directors say or said, you know, during
Speaker 3: the course of the height of his career, I'm looking
Speaker 3: for a real badass. They go Gene Hackman. He's your guy.
Speaker 3: Get Gene Hackman for this role. He was great. Really
Speaker 3: love that guy all right.
Speaker 1: Jafi's White House correspondent John Decker, thanks so much for
Speaker 1: the information.
Speaker 3: Thank you, have a great DAYBU you too.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour new from the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court has temporarily blocked a court order requiring the Trump
Speaker 1: administration to release billions of dollars in foreign aid. ABC's
Speaker 1: Nicole Antonio says the ruling came down late last night.
Speaker 7: At issue nearly two billion dollars in foreign aid payments
Speaker 7: the administration has frozen. A lower court judge ordered the
Speaker 7: government to unfreeze those payments by midnight last night, but
Speaker 7: in order from Chief Justice John Roberts has now pushed
Speaker 7: back the deadline so the justices can consider the case.
Speaker 1: The AP says the Trump administration is eliminating more than
Speaker 1: ninety percent of usaid contracts and sixty billion dollars in
Speaker 1: overall assistance around the world. An Israeli official says the
Speaker 1: country's military will not withdraw from a strategic corridor in
Speaker 1: the Gaza Strip, which is part of the ceasefire. The
Speaker 1: official says Israeli forces needed to remain in the area
Speaker 1: on the Gaza side of the border with Egypt to
Speaker 1: prevent weapons smuggling. The officials spoke hours after Hamas released
Speaker 1: the remains of four hostages in exchange for over six
Speaker 1: hundred Palestinian prisoners. That was the last exchange of the
Speaker 1: CeaseFire's first phase, which ends this weekend. Doctors in Texas
Speaker 1: are urging the public to take a current meals measles
Speaker 1: outbreak seriously.

Speaker 1: addition to one death, doctors are treating about two dozen
Speaker 1: other measles cases that have taken a serious turn. She
Speaker 1: says many of the infected children are facing serious respiratory
Speaker 1: problems linked to the virus. Health and Human Services Secretary
Speaker 1: RFK Junior said yesterday they are monitoring the outbreak. Oscar
Speaker 1: winning actor Gene Hackman, his wife, and their dog have
Speaker 1: been found dead in their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman was ninety five. We're gonna check in with
Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan to talk more about that. In just
Speaker 1: a second, LA County Supervisor Catherine Barger has announced wildfire
Speaker 1: victims can get up to eighteen thousand dollars in economic support.
Speaker 1: Residents affected have until March eighteenth to apply for the money.
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom has ordered the Parole Board to investigate whether

Speaker 1: are holding a press conference this afternoon to discuss what
Speaker 1: they say are key facts in the case. A hearing
Speaker 1: on whether the brothers should be re sentenced to scheduled
Speaker 1: for March twentieth at six oh five. Handle on the news,
Speaker 1: lawmakers are trying to lure movie makers back to Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. So,
Speaker 1: Jim woke up to some sad news this morning. But
Speaker 1: tell us what we know about the death of Gene Hackman,
Speaker 1: his wife and their dog.
Speaker 4: Well, but not much really, We don't know a whole lot.
Speaker 4: But I think you're right. Probably he was ninety five
Speaker 4: years old. People wouldn't have been too surprised to wake
Speaker 4: up and find that Gene Hackman had died. But yeah,
Speaker 4: these unusual circumstances. Not only Gene Hackman, but his wife,
Speaker 4: the famous concert pianist, and their dog also found. Now,
Speaker 4: this all came about as a result of a welfare
Speaker 4: checky yesterday that somebody neighbors called the Santa Fe Sheriff's
Speaker 4: Department after they hadn't heard from Hackman and his wife
Speaker 4: for some time, and the sure enough, the deputies went
Speaker 4: there and made this really awful discovery. How did they die,
Speaker 4: we don't know, But early this morning the Sheriff's department
Speaker 4: did issue a statement saying that they didn't see suspicious circumstances,
Speaker 4: they didn't see foul play involved in this. So we'll
Speaker 4: just have to wait and see Amy, what is determined
Speaker 4: about this by the medical examiner and what the Sheriff's
Speaker 4: office tells us later today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your mind can go to many places on this one.
Speaker 4: It can, and you can speculate all you want, but
Speaker 4: I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so you said, Gene Hackman was ninety five
Speaker 1: and his wife was sixty four, and they've been married
Speaker 1: for quite a while.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the early nineties, I think, and fairly soon after
Speaker 4: they were married, they moved out to Santa Fe. Had
Speaker 4: been living there quietly in this mountain side home for
Speaker 4: a long time. Hackman retired from acting. I think it
Speaker 4: was seventy six years old, so he's been retired for
Speaker 4: quite a long time and kind of living his life
Speaker 4: out there. He'd been seen around Santa Fe. He would
Speaker 4: attend cultural events out there. The one time he really
Speaker 4: rose above the radar out there was when he got
Speaker 4: into it with a homeless man who apparently insulted his wife.
Speaker 4: Hackman had given the man money in the past, but
Speaker 4: for whatever reason this time around, Hackman either ignored him
Speaker 4: or said something to him. The guy insulted his wife,
Speaker 4: and Hackman slapped him. So that was twenty twelve. It's
Speaker 4: been a while since that happened, but I mean it's
Speaker 4: kind of solidifies Hackman's tough guy image.
Speaker 8: I suppose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was in the Marines, Yes he was, and
Speaker 1: he was in We got a list of some of
Speaker 1: the movies and we were going over it earlier. I mean,
Speaker 1: just the sheer number of spectacular performances.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean Stephen and I were saying, I
Speaker 4: mean he had some movies that were undeniably masterpieces, right,
Speaker 4: the French connection in Hoosiers. But he was in some
Speaker 4: bombs too. He was in Superman four The Quest for.
Speaker 1: Peace, but he was in Superman one and was fabulous

Speaker 1: Oh gosh, okay, I got.

Speaker 1: was spectacular with Denzel Washington. I love, love, love that movie.

Speaker 4: and miles. Two Academy Awards yea, and many other accolades, and.

Speaker 1: Well he he, as you mentioned, retired from acting. Said
Speaker 1: he didn't want to do it anymore. And I found
Speaker 1: this a quote that somebody asked him. It was GQ
Speaker 1: back in twenty eleven, Hey, you know, would you consider
Speaker 1: doing acting again? And he said, well, if I could
Speaker 1: do it in my own house, maybe without them disturbing anything,
Speaker 1: and just one or two people, then he'd think about it.
Speaker 1: I love it. Rest in peace, Gene Hackman. Thanks Jim Ryan,
Speaker 1: appreciate it.

Speaker 10: of the Bible adaptations of the Bible. But they have
Speaker 10: found in their excavations of the Judaeian Desert, the entirety
Speaker 10: of the Jewish Bible, which again is a Testament, with
Speaker 10: the exception of the Book of Esther and they've actually
Speaker 10: even found scrolls that cover sections that aren't.
Speaker 1: Even in the Bible.
Speaker 10: These scrolls are so sensitive to light one thousand years old,
Speaker 10: they give them to live for another two thousand years,
Speaker 10: if not longer, and so these scrolls can only be
Speaker 10: in the light for three months every five years. So
Speaker 10: this exhibition's currently been open three months.
Speaker 1: So if you don't see it now, so you're not
Speaker 1: going to see it for another yeah, five years, that's right.
Speaker 10: So between February twenty six, twenty seven, and twenty eight,
Speaker 10: these eight scrolls we have on display are all being
Speaker 10: removed an entire new set of eight scrolls are going in.
Speaker 1: Okay, and what language are the scrolls?
Speaker 10: And they are almost entirely in Hebrew, however, summer in
Speaker 10: Greek and summer in Aramaic.
Speaker 1: And what's really cool.
Speaker 10: Is that the Hebrew scrolls are written in the exact
Speaker 10: same block Hebrew script that people read.
Speaker 1: Today if you can read Hebrew.
Speaker 10: So if you can read Hebrew, you can actually see
Speaker 10: these scrolls and actually build read them.
Speaker 1: Okay, I should have brought my mother.
Speaker 12: Okay, So now when we go and we look at
Speaker 12: the actual scrolls, I think that I actually saw them
Speaker 12: or partial ten fifteen years ago, and I was like.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's just a little tiny piece. It's a fragment.
Speaker 1: So how do you take those fragments and decipher everything?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: So I'm going to answer that in a couple of ways.
Speaker 10: Two of the scrolls we have on display, or when
Speaker 10: you hear the word scroll, it's what you expect.
Speaker 7: It's an actual scroll.
Speaker 10: However, most of what they found are these little, itty
Speaker 10: bitty fragments, and it was like puzzle pieces. They spent
Speaker 10: decades putting these things back together.
Speaker 1: In the most, you know, the hardest.
Speaker 10: There was no box to follow for the right for
Speaker 10: the puzzle. And so some of the scrolls that we
Speaker 10: have are like you said, they're truly fragments of pieces
Speaker 10: of fragments that made up a larger scroll. Some are
Speaker 10: like the entirety of a scroll, and so it's just
Speaker 10: a's sort of fascinating to see that.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what are some of the other things you're
Speaker 1: going to see, Because it's more than the Dead Sea scrolls.
Speaker 10: Here, I can share a handful of my favorites.
Speaker 1: Okay, what are your So my favorite.
Speaker 10: Is probably an actual two ton piece of the Western
Speaker 10: Wall from Jerusalem. Sometimes you will call it the Whaling Wall,
Speaker 10: and it has never traveled outside of Israel before, as
Speaker 10: many of these objects have not, and you actually are
Speaker 10: allowed to touch it.
Speaker 1: And if you've been to Israel and you're.
Speaker 10: Familiar with the Western Wall, that's the wall where people
Speaker 10: go and leave notes and prayers, yep, and spend a
Speaker 10: moment to reflect.
Speaker 1: We allow our guests to do the same thing. He
Speaker 1: also showed me there were some rocks they're like about
Speaker 1: this big, But you said that there is significance to
Speaker 1: these rocks that are rounded. What are those?
Speaker 10: So they're actually called ballistic balls? Okay, and they are
Speaker 10: rocks there as you said about Yay big and they
Speaker 10: were the actual weapons used through sort of slingshot kind
Speaker 10: of mentality or science to literally bring down the Second
Speaker 10: Temple and bring down parts of the Western Wall.
Speaker 1: So parts of history are here at the Reagan Library.
Speaker 1: It's literally how they're very cool. Romans defeated the area.
Speaker 1: That's okay, we're using. And then there's also pieces of
Speaker 1: the Jesus boat. I tell us about that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So in nineteen eighty six, the Sea of Galilee
Speaker 10: do to a drought kind of the water levels decreased,
Speaker 10: and when the water levels decreased, they found a boat
Speaker 10: and as they were pulling it out and excavating it,
Speaker 10: it took almost I think it was like three or
Speaker 10: four years to excavate, it took ten years to dry out,
Speaker 10: and once it was dry they did carbon dating, and
Speaker 10: through carbon dating they were able to prove that the
Speaker 10: wood from the boat was made as pulled from Lebanon
Speaker 10: and Israel, and that the boat was used by fishermen
Speaker 10: on the Sea of Galilee the exact same time that
Speaker 10: Jesus was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee.
Speaker 1: It could be Jesus, so they call it the Jesus Boat.
Speaker 10: Now, the boat itself is intact, but it's really fragile
Speaker 10: and it doesn't leave Israel. So what they are traveling
Speaker 10: are wood fragments from.
Speaker 1: The boat, and you can actually see those. Yes, how
Speaker 1: are people responding to this? I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you can tell this video. It's very crowded. It's Tuesday,
Speaker 1: and it's very crowded.
Speaker 10: We've been getting really large crowds. It's really wonderful to see,
Speaker 10: you know. I had thought that maybe we'd get a
Speaker 10: strong Jewish audience because again, these scrolls are in Hebrew
Speaker 10: and they're from Jerusalem. And what I'm really finding is
Speaker 10: that we're getting a really big Christian base because a
Speaker 10: lot of people do believe that these are the early
Speaker 10: formations of Christianity, and it really gets at the history
Speaker 10: and all of those things. Of course, you don't have
Speaker 10: to be religious either, so it's just a remarkable historical excibent.
Speaker 1: I love going back into history. Melissa Giller, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for your time this morning. House Dead Sea
Speaker 1: Scrolls at the Reagan Library. That's where we are out
Speaker 1: and about this week. The exhibition goes through September second,
Speaker 1: and again she mentioned that the scrolls swap out, so
Speaker 1: the next swap they're doing one like this weekend, and
Speaker 1: then the next time they swap is in June, so
Speaker 1: you would actually see different scrolls because they can only
Speaker 1: have a limited number of them out there, and as
Speaker 1: she mentioned, they're kept in very low light. We've got
Speaker 1: a video of it and I'm going to post that
Speaker 1: on my Instagram at Amy K King, so you can
Speaker 1: get a little sneak peek at that. Also at KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty. I'm going to get that up in
Speaker 1: the next hour or so. But really a cool way
Speaker 1: to go spend an afternoon and step back in time.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, Melissa says,
Speaker 1: you should definitely make reservations because it has been selling
Speaker 1: out every weekend and we were there again on Tuesday
Speaker 1: and it was super crowded. It was amazing. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of interest in the Dead
Speaker 1: Sea Scrolls, and they're like from they have like psalms,
Speaker 1: and they have they have a replica of the Ten
Speaker 1: Commandments out there right now. But it's just fascinating. Anyway,
Speaker 1: if you want to get more information. It's Reaganlibrary dot com,
Speaker 1: Reaganlibrary dot com. And again I'm gonna be posting that
Speaker 1: on my Instagram at Amy Kking. It'll be up on
Speaker 1: Facebook two and also at KFI AM six forty. Time
Speaker 1: to get in your business now with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho Courtney.
Speaker 1: For the first time since before the pandemic, delinquent student
Speaker 1: loan borrowers are going to see their credit scores affected
Speaker 1: if they don't pay. Yes, definitely taking a hit. Good morning.
Speaker 13: This is definitely eye opening because more than five more
Speaker 13: than nine million, not four million, nine million folks are
Speaker 13: currently behind on their payments.
Speaker 1: So there's a company. Are they just not paying at
Speaker 1: all or because they know they kind of paused any
Speaker 1: kind of consequences or punishments during the pandemic, But so
Speaker 1: did people just stop paying and not start restart? Yeah?
Speaker 13: See, see what happened was during we had that big
Speaker 13: long break during the pandemic, and then the student loan
Speaker 13: bills restart in twenty twenty three. But bar's got that
Speaker 13: one year grace period from having the worst repercussions, so
Speaker 13: some of them it took them a little bit longer
Speaker 13: to be able to start paying for things. But now
Speaker 13: those who don't make the payments can be reported to
Speaker 13: the credit bureaus and that's where the problem lies. So
Speaker 13: the delinquencies are actually going to start appearing in credit
Speaker 13: files between now and May.
Speaker 1: So if you have to pay, you should be paying now.
Speaker 13: The Vantage Score, which is this credit scoring firm, they
Speaker 13: say that they could see people who are behind on
Speaker 13: their bills, that their credit score could drop by as
Speaker 13: much as one hundred and twenty nine points. And they
Speaker 13: expect and this is another crazy stat they expect two
Speaker 13: point three million people to see their scores dip below
Speaker 13: six hundred and that's the threshold to being considered subprime.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know it makes me want to buy
Speaker 1: a house. Yeah, makes things a lot harder for so
Speaker 1: many different things, including like renting a property now because
Speaker 1: they check your credit score to make sure that you're
Speaker 1: going to pay your bills.
Speaker 13: Definitely. I talk once in a while about my brother.
Speaker 13: My brother works in property management, and he says a
Speaker 13: lot of people come in from great schools and they
Speaker 13: have so much debt, most of the debt being in
Speaker 13: student loans, that he just they are not qualified because
Speaker 13: of the amount of debt that they have, so he
Speaker 13: says it's unfortunate. He thinks eventually they would be good,
Speaker 13: but at this point it's a little rough. So that's
Speaker 13: important when you're making and it's hard when you're young
Speaker 13: to make a decision on where you're going to college
Speaker 13: and how much you're going to pay, But that is
Speaker 13: something that you really have to think about. What's going
Speaker 13: to happen in the future when you're finished school and
Speaker 13: you have to start paying.
Speaker 1: Okay, yesterday you said that we were watching to see
Speaker 1: what was going to happen with in video. What happened
Speaker 1: and how did it affect the market?
Speaker 13: Well, they reported after the bell, the big chip maker,
Speaker 13: and it was good, not great, but enough for investors
Speaker 13: to be satisfied, and that's why we are seeing shares
Speaker 13: rising in the pre market. But in Vidia has been
Speaker 13: the biggest beneficiary of the massive surge in artificial intelligence
Speaker 13: spending that we've been talking about, also that big rise
Speaker 13: that we've been talking about within the stock market, but
Speaker 13: it's double the size of its revenue in the past
Speaker 13: two years because they're the dominant seller of processors that
Speaker 13: create and run artificial intelligence softwares. But there are concerns
Speaker 13: that the amount's going to slow down, that data center
Speaker 13: operators will slow their spending on AI. But in Nvidia
Speaker 13: kept saying yesterday, we're pretty optimistic about the future. But
Speaker 13: that's definitely giving an assist to stocks this morning. We're
Speaker 13: looking at out futures right now, up one hundred and
Speaker 13: fifteen points.
Speaker 1: All right, there, we are getting in your business with
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho. Courtney, thank you so much. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to you tomorrow, see you later. Okay, when we come back.
Speaker 1: What if you could give your papa pill and they'd
Speaker 1: live longer. Apparently that technology is right around the corner.
Speaker 1: So we're going to be talking about a clinical trial
Speaker 1: called Stay. It's apparently a real possibility. Gene Hackman has
Speaker 1: been found dead along with his wife and their dog
Speaker 1: in their mountainside home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They
Speaker 1: were found during a welfare check yesterday. Hackman won two
Speaker 1: oscars during his more than forty year career for the
Speaker 1: French Connection. In nineteen seventy two and in nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 8: You've been talking about the Queen again.
Speaker 2: On Independent's Day.
Speaker 1: For the Unforgiven, Gene Heckman was ninety five. The number
Speaker 1: of Americans applying for jobless benefits last week has jumped
Speaker 1: to a two hundred and forty two thousand. That's a
Speaker 1: three month high. And if your heart stops beating, your
Speaker 1: watch can tell you about it. The FDA has approved
Speaker 1: a feature on the Pixel three watch. The feature detects
Speaker 1: if you have a pulse. If a pulse isn't detected,
Speaker 1: the watch will say hey, are you okay, and if
Speaker 1: you don't respond, it'll call nine one one for you.
Speaker 1: It's already available in other countries and could be in
Speaker 1: the US by the in the next month. Long Live
Speaker 1: the Dogs. We may soon be able to help our
Speaker 1: furry friends live longer, healthier lives. And to find out
Speaker 1: more about that, let's say good morning to the founder
Speaker 1: and CEO of Loyal Selene hallioyah, Okay, I probably mess
Speaker 1: that up. Selene. How do you say your last name?
Speaker 1: It's Holly Love, Holly, Holly love, holliwah oh hollywah.
Speaker 8: Okay, worry I have I have never had an instance
Speaker 8: in my life where somebody's pronounced it right on the
Speaker 8: first try.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I was going to try, and then I
Speaker 1: forgot to pre read it again and well anyway, so,
Speaker 1: uh Seline, thanks so much for coming on today. We
Speaker 1: were very fascinated about this story because we love our pets.
Speaker 1: We wish that they we could have them longer, and
Speaker 1: now there may be a way. So tell us about
Speaker 1: what this new clinical trial is and what we're looking for.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so we are developing a drug that, if it
Speaker 8: gets approved, you'll be able to go to your vet
Speaker 8: and de prescribed a drug that's only use case to
Speaker 8: keep your relatively healthy senior dog healthier longer. So we're
Speaker 8: basically trying to help senior dogs have a higher quality
Speaker 8: of life and a longer life too.
Speaker 1: And what does the pill do that enables him to
Speaker 1: live longer and healthier.
Speaker 8: So the kind of cornerstone of lifespan extension has been
Speaker 8: understand is colork restriction. Actually, so you could there's a
Speaker 8: really interesting study by the dog food company Purina that
Speaker 8: showed that you could expend a lifespan sorry that's my dog,
Speaker 8: extend the lifespan of labradors by two years if you
Speaker 8: colorqically restrict at them. But literally, no one wants to
Speaker 8: colorically restrict their dog. Maybe Della is barking because she
Speaker 8: just heard the word cloric restriction, and so what we
Speaker 8: worked really hard on was can you develop a pill
Speaker 8: that emulates the benefits that happens in a dog need
Speaker 8: colorqually restrict without making them lose weight, without not allowing
Speaker 8: them to have tree. And that's been the last five
Speaker 8: years of loyal Okay.
Speaker 1: So, and when you're talking about extending lives, you said
Speaker 1: for a laboratory it's like two years. And is the
Speaker 1: goal then just longevity or is it to have them
Speaker 1: longer and have them healthier because you know, if they're
Speaker 1: if they can't move and that kind of stuff, do
Speaker 1: you really want to have them longer?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 8: Yeah, the way to think about it is pulling out
Speaker 8: the healthy middle years. So yes, absolutely longer and healthier.
Speaker 1: And is this only for dogs? Are you looking at
Speaker 1: other at cats or just dogs?
Speaker 8: Well, my kitten is also running around and we have
Speaker 8: a contingency at a company that are heavy cat people,
Speaker 8: so we would consider cats too. I think it's definitely
Speaker 8: going to be on the docket, but we're currently focusing
Speaker 8: on dogs right now.
Speaker 1: Okay. So, and you are you have to get approval
Speaker 1: before you can start doing this from governmental organizations, So
Speaker 1: how do you go about getting that.
Speaker 8: Oh, well, it's a lot of work. We've been working
Speaker 8: on it for about five years. So yeah, it's actually
Speaker 8: like a it's like a human drug that you might
Speaker 8: get from your doctor. Right, you have to get FDA
Speaker 8: approval on you know, does it work, is it safe?
Speaker 8: And we are running through those processes and we're hopefully
Speaker 8: we're projecting FDA approval at the end of this year.
Speaker 1: Okay, And you are doing a study and is that
Speaker 1: before the FDA approval where you're doing some trials or
Speaker 1: does that come after.
Speaker 8: It's in parallel actually, okay, so yeah, we are running
Speaker 8: in parallel to the drug being on market. We are
Speaker 8: going to have about a thousand dogs in the US
Speaker 8: that are going to be followed for five or more
Speaker 8: years to look at Okay, how long does this extend
Speaker 8: our lifespan? And how how do they age over the
Speaker 8: years of being on this drug?
Speaker 1: Okay, and you're looking you're going to do a thousand dogs.
Speaker 1: You have all the dogs you need or do you
Speaker 1: need more?
Speaker 8: We're pretty close, but we could take some more. We
Speaker 8: could always take more dogs. And we have a couple
Speaker 8: of sites local in the area too. We have Plaza
Speaker 8: to the animal torrents. We have one a Norco one
Speaker 8: in Santa Clarita. If you're a dog owner and you're
Speaker 8: interested in being a part of a really important canine
Speaker 8: longevity study, you can go on our website loyal dot
Speaker 8: com and dropping your zip code and find all the
Speaker 8: study sites.
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you're interested in participating, and then does
Speaker 1: it also have information about this if people want to
Speaker 1: find out more about the new drug and where it's at,
Speaker 1: is that also? Okay?
Speaker 8: So that's Lloyd a lot of cute dog photos and.
Speaker 1: Lots of cute dog photos, which is so important. Okay.
Speaker 1: So it's loyal dot com and we've we've been talking
Speaker 1: to the founder and CEO of Loyal and I'm just
Speaker 1: going to say it's Selene, perfect all right, Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. Selene. Again, if you want more information, Loyal
Speaker 1: dot com is where to find it. Good luck. I
Speaker 1: think it would be wonderful if our furry friends could
Speaker 1: live longer and hang out with us for longer periods
Speaker 1: of time.
Speaker 8: Thanks, thank you, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Thanks Selene. I want to say congratulations to Travis
Speaker 1: in Hysperia, Robert in Laverne, John in Riverside, Kim in

Speaker 1: back to some of the stories coming out of the
Speaker 1: KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Oscar winning actor Gene Hackman
Speaker 1: has died early this morning.
Speaker 4: Santa Fe County Sheriff A Don Mendoza confirmed that the
Speaker 4: ninety five year old Hackman, his sixty four year old wife,
Speaker 4: and their dog were all found dead in their home.
Speaker 4: Despite that, Mendoza says no foul play is suspected.
Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryans is the deaths were discovered yesterday afternoon
Speaker 1: when deputies did a welfare check at the couple's home.
Speaker 1: Hackman retired in the early two thousands. He'd been nominated
Speaker 1: five times for Academy Awards. He won twice for the
Speaker 1: French Connection and again for Unforgiven. The awards came twenty
Speaker 1: one years apart. Two teenagers have been arrested in connection
Speaker 1: with smash and grab robberies at the Anelope Valley Mall.
Speaker 1: Police say the first robbery happened February sixth at Kay's Jewelers.
Speaker 1: Kevin Jewelers was robbed February twenty first Sheriff's deputy say
Speaker 1: they found evidence from the robberies at the homes of
Speaker 1: both juveniles. The Trump administration has released three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars in federal funding for two major reservoir
Speaker 1: projects in California. The money was approved during the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: but it was temporarily frozen when President Trump took office.
Speaker 1: The Site's Reservoir project, which would be the largest new
Speaker 1: reservoir in California in fifty years, will get two hundred
Speaker 1: twenty six million dollars. The San Luis Reservoir expansion will
Speaker 1: get eighty nine million dollars to raise its damn height.
Speaker 1: LA may soon enact a policy mandating a land acknowledgment
Speaker 1: of Native American tribes.
Speaker 6: The acknowledgments aren't new. LA County starts its supervisors meeting
Speaker 6: with one every week, but City Councilman John Lee says
Speaker 6: the acts lack any real direct action to make life
Speaker 6: better for Native Americans. Unfortunately, sometimes these non acknowledgements have
Speaker 6: become performative platitudes, and honestly, they don't address today's realities.
Speaker 6: The city council unanimously approved a report from the Civil
Speaker 6: Rights Department outlining how a policy would work and called
Speaker 6: for the creation of a committee to craft such a statement.
Speaker 6: Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: And thousands people around the US are expected to run
