00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 4>two fires. We'll be telling you about that. Somebody's going

<v Speaker 4>wake up call in the capable hands of Michael Monks

23
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 4>for a couple of days. I got girls flying in

24
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 4>from southern Oregon and northern Oregon and we're gonna go

25
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 4>have a girl's birthday weekend.

26
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 7>Watch out.

27
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 4>Uh oh, gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun. I

28
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 4>mentioned evacuations and those fires and stuff, and we had

29
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 4>told you, I think yesterday that producer Anne had to

30
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 4>go and evacuate her horse because the fire was burning

31
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 4>a little too close to where she keeps her keeps him,

32
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 4>and so they took him to the Pierce College, the

33
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 4>Large Animal Shelter. Doing well. He's going to stay there

34
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 4>a couple more days, probably till Saturday. Gonna bring him

35
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 4>home on a Saturday, right, Anne, yep, okay, And so

36
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 4>he's doing fine. I don't know if he likes his neighbors.

37
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 4>He's next to a very vocal pig. But anyway, glad

38
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 4>to hear that. So hopefully more more are of the

39
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 4>animals who've been in temporary shelters are going to get

40
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 4>to go home pretty soon. Carla is our editor here

41
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.319
<v Speaker 4>at KFI. She does the morning editing with me, and

42
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.800
<v Speaker 4>she sent me a note yesterday and goes, I just

43
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:43.039
<v Speaker 4>realized today's my thirtieth anniversary with KFI. We like to

44
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 4>stick around here. And her first day on the job

45
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 4>was in nineteen ninety five, the day that opening statements

46
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 4>in the oj trial were given. What a day to start, right,

47
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 4>So happy anniversary, Carla. We love having you here. Here's

48
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 4>what's the head on way kept call. Forecasters or actually

49
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 4>firefighters continue to gain ground on the new fires burning

50
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 4>it in southern California. The fire that started yesterday in

51
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 4>Camera Rio, forcing the evacuation of CSU Channel Islands is

52
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.479
<v Speaker 4>seventy percent surround it. It burned ninety four acres. The

53
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 4>Hues fire in Castaic that quickly exploded to more than

54
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 4>ten thousand acres is thirty six percent surrounded. Governor Newsom's

55
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 4>expected to greet President Trump on the tarmac when Trump

56
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 4>arrives in California to take a closer look at the

57
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 4>fire damage. Trump has been highly critical of how Newsom

58
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.199
<v Speaker 4>has handled the fires and is calling on him to

59
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 4>release water from up north to southern California. We're going

60
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 4>to find out more about his trip with kfi's White

61
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 4>House correspondent John Decker in about three minutes. Emergency crews

62
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 4>are working to prevent mudslides and toxic ash from doing

63
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 4>more damage to the wildfire burn areas. They're removing vegetation,

64
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 4>shoring up hillsides, and putting up sandbags and k rails.

65
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 4>The LA area is expecting a quarter to a half

66
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 4>inch of rain starting tomorrow. A little bit later this hour,

67
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 4>we're going to be digging into the Oscar nominations with

68
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 4>ABC's Willgans that's at five point fifty. Also Olympic medals.

69
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 4>This is very interesting from the twenty twenty four Summer

70
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:14.280
<v Speaker 4>Games in Paris are a little tarnished. ABC's Jim Ryan's

71
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.680
<v Speaker 4>going to tell us what is up with that, and

72
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 4>then Dean Sharp is going to join us at the

73
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 4>bottom of the hour. He says, getting rid of all

74
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 4>the trees and bushes from your property. That's not the

75
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.439
<v Speaker 4>best way to protect your home from a wildfire. Let's

76
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 4>get started with some of the stories coming out of

77
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 4>the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Bone dry conditions and

78
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.319
<v Speaker 4>Santa Ana wins have kept firefighters in La and Ventura

79
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 4>County's busy, but meteorologist Lee Goldberg says relief is on

80
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 4>the way this weekend.

81
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 6>I'm sure wins, higher humidity, even some modern rain and

82
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 6>mountain snow.

83
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.759
<v Speaker 2>The only concerned isolated down boards if they hit the

84
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 2>burn scars.

85
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 7>We have to be concerned about mudslides.

86
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 4>He says. A red flag warning issued by the National

87
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 4>Weather Service is in effect until ten this morning. The

88
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 4>fire that's burned more than twenty three thousand acres in

89
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 4>the Pacific Allisades area is seventy five percent surrounded. More

90
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 4>evacuation orders were lifted yesterday, this time in and around

91
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 4>the Tuna Canyon area. The City of Pasadena's urging residents

92
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 4>impacted by the fire and Eaton Canyon to take precautions

93
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.600
<v Speaker 4>as rain is expected this weekend, along with possible mud

94
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.639
<v Speaker 4>and deble debris flows. The fire burned about fourteen thousand acres,

95
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 4>destroyed more than nine thousand homes and other buildings. In

96
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker 4>Altadena and Pasadena. It is ninety five percent surrounded. Some

97
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 4>schools around Altadena have reopened after a two week long

98
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 4>closure because of the fire. Campuses around Altadena, Pasadena, and

99
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 4>Sierra Madre that didn't burn have been thoroughly cleaned and

100
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.000
<v Speaker 4>environmental tests have been done. Teacher Yanzi Chevez says she

101
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.160
<v Speaker 4>welcomes students back to class.

102
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 8>And I get through this together because that's what the

103
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 8>community is about, our team and building each other together

104
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 8>and making us stronger.

105
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 4>Schools that haven't reopened yet are expected to resume classes

106
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 4>by the end of the month. Let's take first look

107
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 4>at your morning commute and say good morning to Will Coleschreiber,

108
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.720
<v Speaker 4>We've already got problems. There's a crash in Burbank on

109
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 4>the one thirty four. You're right outside our door here

110
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:09.720
<v Speaker 4>at the one thirty four.

111
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.199
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be the westbound side right before Buena

112
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 2>Vista crash there on the right shoulder, and as I

113
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>look at the slowing, I'm actually seeing more slowing on

114
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the eastbound side, so we'll take a look at that.

115
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>There may be lanes on both sides blocked, but that's

116
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 2>the situation there in Burbank if you're trying to get

117
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 2>through this Pulvita Pass. Unfortunately, we still have supulvit of

118
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Boulevard shut down northwest of the freeway right there at

119
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Getty Center, so you cannot use the Pulvita as an

120
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 2>alternate to the four or five. They're repairing some utilities

121
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.480
<v Speaker 2>that were damaged in a fire the other night and

122
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.079
<v Speaker 2>that continues unfortunately, so I expect this Pulvita Pass to

123
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 2>be very busy today. Eastbound side of the sixty eighth

124
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Downy Road crash there, somebody went off the side of

125
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 2>the roadway and ended up facing sideways and lanes.

126
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 5>Watch out for that.

127
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 2>With Southern California's most accurate traffic report. So I'm Will Coleschreiber.

128
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 4>Okay, we are expecting John Decker kfi's White House correspondent,

129
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.600
<v Speaker 4>and can we see if we can dial him up.

130
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 4>He's gonna give us some more information about what's going

131
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:16.439
<v Speaker 4>on with President Trump's visit to Southern California. That he's

132
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:18.720
<v Speaker 4>supposed to take off from the White House pretty soon,

133
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:24.160
<v Speaker 4>and he's actually going to make a stop in North

134
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 4>Carolina before he comes here. While we're waiting for John,

135
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:34.920
<v Speaker 4>are we working on getting him? Kno? And Okay, well

136
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 4>it's going to be a Friday.

137
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Well you know what we checked yesterday, me and one

138
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>of our people here, Jason, on the flight restrictions for today,

139
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.279
<v Speaker 2>and they don't go into effect until about two forty five,

140
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.399
<v Speaker 2>So it's gonna it could it could toy with your

141
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.360
<v Speaker 2>afternoon commute a little bit as he moves around.

142
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 4>If you know, anytime a president comes into town, it

143
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:58.160
<v Speaker 4>makes a mess, and especially if we're going into like

144
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 4>the Alta Dina area. Can you imagine the.

145
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Two ten I'd also seen some reports that he's only

146
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 2>planning an aerial tour, so that would make driving easier

147
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.680
<v Speaker 2>but you know, well, probably that'll.

148
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.839
<v Speaker 4>Be interesting to see because remember when President Bush did

149
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 4>the aerial tour of Katrina and then just got hammered.

150
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

151
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he is expected to touch down though, because as

152
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 4>we mentioned, Governor Newsom is expected to greet him on

153
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.680
<v Speaker 4>the tarmac, and that'll be interesting to see what comes

154
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 4>of that. We've got several sources saying that that's what

155
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.399
<v Speaker 4>Newsom is planning to do, but they're kind of they

156
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.120
<v Speaker 4>don't exactly get along. It's not like their besties, not really. Yeah,

157
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.039
<v Speaker 4>so we'll have to wait and see. So two forty five,

158
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 4>which makes sense because he's going to North Carolina. First, right,

159
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 4>how about we tell you about this The Dream Center

160
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:49.120
<v Speaker 4>and iHeartMedia Los Angeles. As you know, we've been working

161
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 4>together to help victims affected by the wildfires across Los Angeles,

162
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 4>and your donations are being used right now to deliver

163
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:02.679
<v Speaker 4>air purifiers, electronics, food supplies, and more to areas in

164
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.039
<v Speaker 4>the community. You can help now. Donate now at KFI

165
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.840
<v Speaker 4>AM six forty dot com, slash donate, and of course

166
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 4>you can go to Dream Center LA at twenty three

167
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 4>Oho one Bellevue Avenue. It's in Echo Park. Really easy

168
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.759
<v Speaker 4>to find and they are still taking donations. And you

169
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 4>guys have turned out in droves to help out the

170
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.679
<v Speaker 4>wildfire victims, and again, you know, it's like the fires

171
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 4>are out and there's even there's more calm now, but man,

172
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 4>the need is great and it's going to stay that

173
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.039
<v Speaker 4>way for a very very long time. Here are some

174
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.559
<v Speaker 4>of the things that they still need. Non perishable food items,

175
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 4>canned goods, snacks, ready to eat meals, bottled water, sports drinks,

176
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 4>hygiene products, toothpaste like they don't have toothpaste and toothbrushes.

177
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 4>They lost everything. Shampoos, soap, baby supplies. Always need those diapers,

178
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:59.360
<v Speaker 4>formula wipes, baby food, as I mentioned, the air purifiers

179
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 4>and masks, and flashlights, batteries, even portable chargers. And again

180
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 4>they're taking those donations through today. I'm not sure if

181
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.480
<v Speaker 4>they're going into the weekend, but I know it's at

182
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 4>least through today. We'll check from nine am until seven pm.

183
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 4>So if you could load up a load up your

184
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 4>car and take some donations, that would be great. Otherwise,

185
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 4>KFI AM six forty dot com slash donate. Okay, we've

186
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.519
<v Speaker 4>got John Decker, kfi's White House correspondent. Good morning, John.

187
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:30.879
<v Speaker 3>Good morning to you, Amy. How are you doing today?

188
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:31.399
<v Speaker 8>We're good.

189
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.000
<v Speaker 4>So, John, the President's headed to our hood, but he's

190
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.480
<v Speaker 4>going to make another stop first, so let's talk about

191
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:38.639
<v Speaker 4>what his plans are for today.

192
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's visiting two disaster results. He's going to visit Ashville,

193
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 3>North Carolina first, and of course Ashville still recovering from

194
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 3>two hurricanes that hit Western Carolina in twenty twenty four.

195
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 3>They're still about twelve thousand North Carolinians who are homeless

196
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.720
<v Speaker 3>because of those two hurricanes.

197
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:02.240
<v Speaker 4>How many?

198
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.639
<v Speaker 3>And then he'll fly all twelve thousand, I mean, an

199
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 3>enormous number that community is just is reeling as a

200
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 3>result of those two hurricanes. And then Amy will fly

201
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:17.200
<v Speaker 3>across the country to Los Angeles, Southern California. I don't

202
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.279
<v Speaker 3>have to tell you. We see the pictures, we see

203
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 3>the video, families, communities that have lost everything, and I

204
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.360
<v Speaker 3>think that you know, you tell me if I'm incorrect.

205
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 3>I think that the community of Asheville, the people of

206
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 3>southern California want to know that the federal government is

207
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:38.720
<v Speaker 3>committed to rebuilding, to making these areas the beautiful places

208
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:43.759
<v Speaker 3>that they were before the wildfires hit in early January.

209
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.279
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think I think you are right. And you've

210
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.720
<v Speaker 4>heard the President say several times that he feels like

211
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:53.679
<v Speaker 4>North Carolina just sort of got ignored after the hurricanes,

212
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.679
<v Speaker 4>and here twelve thousand people are still out of homes

213
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 4>and it's not like it's Sonny in seventy like it's

214
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.960
<v Speaker 4>been here. I mean, they're going through winter in North Carolina,

215
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.960
<v Speaker 4>so it's got to be just an extra, an extra

216
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.960
<v Speaker 4>hardship on them. And I was also talking to a

217
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.600
<v Speaker 4>friend because we had some fires tear through southern Oregon

218
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.279
<v Speaker 4>and a took out a couple of small towns a

219
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 4>few years ago, and we were talking about like FEMA

220
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:20.879
<v Speaker 4>response and that kind of stuff, because FEMA always kind

221
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.399
<v Speaker 4>of gets slammed in these kinds of things. And they

222
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 4>were saying, you know, they came and they set up

223
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.120
<v Speaker 4>all these FEMA trailers, but nobody ever lived in them,

224
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.480
<v Speaker 4>and then they started leaking, and so they basically spent

225
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.080
<v Speaker 4>all this money that nobody ever benefited from. So it'll

226
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.519
<v Speaker 4>be interesting to see, I mean, like how closely we're watching,

227
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.279
<v Speaker 4>especially in the era of Trump, where he's talking about

228
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.080
<v Speaker 4>government waste and you know, not using the money the

229
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.000
<v Speaker 4>right way, and whether he does something about it.

230
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:51.639
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's correct. Amy. He's criticized the federal response as

231
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:56.080
<v Speaker 3>it relates to western North Carolina, and he's criticized the

232
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 3>state response as it relates to the wildfires in California.

233
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.720
<v Speaker 3>So there's going to be a political element to today's

234
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 3>trip as it relates to which is too bad. But

235
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, I think that you know that's I think

236
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.399
<v Speaker 3>to a certain extent, the residents of these two regions

237
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.639
<v Speaker 3>of our country want to look forward. They don't want

238
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 3>to look backwards in terms of what happened and the

239
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.519
<v Speaker 3>response that was or was not taken by officials. They

240
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 3>want to look forward to figure out how they're going

241
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 3>to rebuild.

242
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So for President Trump's trip, while we were waiting

243
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:35.200
<v Speaker 4>for our connection with you, we were talking and will

244
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Cole Schreiber is our traffic eye, and he said that

245
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 4>Trump's expected to get in later this afternoon, and there's

246
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.480
<v Speaker 4>talk that he may just do an aerial fly by

247
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:49.080
<v Speaker 4>and not go into the fire damaged areas. And that

248
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.120
<v Speaker 4>just reminded me that you're sort of in a damned

249
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.799
<v Speaker 4>if you do, damned if you don't situation, because if

250
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.200
<v Speaker 4>you just fly over to stay out of everybody's way,

251
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.919
<v Speaker 4>then you get criticized for not getting your feet on

252
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.159
<v Speaker 4>the ground, and if you go into the areas, they go, oh,

253
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 4>you're getting in the way of relief.

254
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:05.399
<v Speaker 6>Do we know what he I get that.

255
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:11.360
<v Speaker 3>I get that. I've traveled with President Trump before after

256
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:14.080
<v Speaker 3>a natural disaster. I flew on Air Force One with

257
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:18.480
<v Speaker 3>the President down to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, and

258
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:21.480
<v Speaker 3>not only did he do a fly by, we were

259
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.720
<v Speaker 3>right behind in another helicopter, but he also was down

260
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.080
<v Speaker 3>on the ground meeting with all of those residents who

261
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.000
<v Speaker 3>at the time were dealing with the fact that their

262
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:33.840
<v Speaker 3>community didn't even have electricity. So my guess is he's

263
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.720
<v Speaker 3>going to get on the ground. He's going to see

264
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 3>this firsthand, and to your point, he's going to do

265
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:40.919
<v Speaker 3>it in such a way that he doesn't get in

266
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.879
<v Speaker 3>the way of those people that are continuing to fight

267
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:46.919
<v Speaker 3>these wildfires in southern California.

268
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, Well, we'll see what happens when he gets here,

269
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.559
<v Speaker 4>because we don't have any real details of what a

270
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 4>schedule is, but I'm sure lots of people will be watching.

271
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:56.240
<v Speaker 4>And then I want to tell you this too. So

272
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.440
<v Speaker 4>John Decker, of course, the White House correspondent with the

273
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:00.440
<v Speaker 4>press pool. And you just mentioned that you've traveled with

274
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:02.320
<v Speaker 4>the president before. You're not going to be on the

275
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:04.919
<v Speaker 4>plane with him today, but you will be in the future.

276
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:07.879
<v Speaker 4>And so once that happens, Wake Up Call wants to

277
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:10.039
<v Speaker 4>know things like what kind of food do you get

278
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.759
<v Speaker 4>and do you hang out with the president and that

279
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:13.799
<v Speaker 4>kind of stuff, So we'll be asking you those questions

280
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:14.720
<v Speaker 4>in the future.

281
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I'll give you a little preview. Best food I've

282
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.320
<v Speaker 3>ever had on any per airplan, and I've flown first

283
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:23.799
<v Speaker 3>class in Emirates, so that gives you a sense about

284
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.320
<v Speaker 3>how good meals are on Air Force one. So I'm

285
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:29.360
<v Speaker 3>looking forward to that first day trip yep, that President

286
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:31.919
<v Speaker 3>Trump takes and who knows, maybe it's to the super Bowl.

287
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:33.679
<v Speaker 3>We'll have to wait and see. In the week's ahead.

288
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:38.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh sure, rub it in ABC's on ABC's kfi's I'm

289
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.320
<v Speaker 4>used to saying ABC, but kfi's White House correspondent John Decker,

290
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.080
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much, John. We look forward to talking

291
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:43.600
<v Speaker 4>to you more.

292
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Thank you. Amy.

<v Speaker 4>General Rob Bonta says Mike Coobesi told the couple the

301
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.480
<v Speaker 4>rental price was thirty eight percent higher than it was

302
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:18.159
<v Speaker 4>initially advertised. Raising prices more than ten percent during a

303
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.919
<v Speaker 4>state of emergency is illegal. More than two hundred and

304
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.360
<v Speaker 4>seventy state banks, credit unions, and lenders say they'll provide

305
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:29.159
<v Speaker 4>a mortgage relief for property owners impacted by the wildfires.

306
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 4>At six SO five, Handle on the News, a judge

307
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:35.360
<v Speaker 4>has given President Trump his first executive order setback. Will

308
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:41.120
<v Speaker 4>tell you about that right now, Let's say good morning

309
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:45.840
<v Speaker 4>to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, maybe there is somethings

310
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.360
<v Speaker 4>that made in America thing, there's something wrong with the

311
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:49.720
<v Speaker 4>Olympic medals.

312
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.360
<v Speaker 9>You let this be a lesson to Los Angeles. Don't

313
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:54.200
<v Speaker 9>skimp on the chromium trioxide.

314
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay, the chromium trioxide. That's right, what is chromium

315
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.559
<v Speaker 4>trioxide track.

316
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.279
<v Speaker 9>Side is chrome. So if you see in nineteen fifty

317
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.000
<v Speaker 9>seven Chevy bel Air and it still has all the

318
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.640
<v Speaker 9>chrome on, it's because of the chromium trackside. That stuff

319
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:12.279
<v Speaker 9>lasts a long time. It's used to protect metals, makes

320
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:16.480
<v Speaker 9>them shiny, but it's been banned in the European Union

321
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.440
<v Speaker 9>because it's also very very toxic, and so it's not

322
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:21.559
<v Speaker 9>used there anymore. They've had to find substitutes.

323
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:21.799
<v Speaker 10>Well.

324
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.440
<v Speaker 9>The paras Olympics that happened a few months ago, the

325
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:30.200
<v Speaker 9>Summer Olympics in twenty twenty four. They were the Parisians

326
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.200
<v Speaker 9>were tasked with creating the medals that all the winners

327
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.599
<v Speaker 9>of the silver, the gold, the bronze there in Paris

328
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.119
<v Speaker 9>were awarded. But within just a few days, some of

329
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.079
<v Speaker 9>the metal winners, especially the bronze medal winners, saw that

330
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:49.000
<v Speaker 9>their medals were looking kind of scuffy. They finished was

331
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:49.759
<v Speaker 9>flaking off.

332
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.240
<v Speaker 2>They were just.

333
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.200
<v Speaker 9>Looking horrible, flaking off factures. They looked really bad. It

334
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.319
<v Speaker 9>looks like they were run over and buy a car

335
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.440
<v Speaker 9>and then dipped in acid or something. But they're just

336
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.480
<v Speaker 9>not very good. So about one hundred athletes sent them

337
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.640
<v Speaker 9>back and said please replace these with something better, and does.

338
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:06.400
<v Speaker 4>It look like they will be doing that?

339
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:08.799
<v Speaker 9>The International Olympic Committee says, yes, we're gonna go ahead

340
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 9>and do that, and they think they've struck on a

341
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:16.920
<v Speaker 9>formulation that's better serve. You know, they's gonna work better

342
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.400
<v Speaker 9>to preserve They're preserved these things forever.

343
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:19.720
<v Speaker 11>You know.

344
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:21.920
<v Speaker 9>The metal you've probably heard about this last week in

345
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.160
<v Speaker 9>nineteen oh four Olympic gold medal, which was actually made

346
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:28.359
<v Speaker 9>of gold back then, was recently auctioned to offer five

347
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.880
<v Speaker 9>hundred thousand dollars something like that. They're not made fully

348
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:36.279
<v Speaker 9>of gold anymore. They gold medals are actually silver that

349
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.000
<v Speaker 9>are plated with gold. The silver metals are silver. The

350
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:42.359
<v Speaker 9>bronze medals are silver, but they also have copper and

351
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.680
<v Speaker 9>iron and zinc some other materials in them, and so

352
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:49.079
<v Speaker 9>that may have contributed also to this, the flaking of

353
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:50.720
<v Speaker 9>the finish.

354
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.400
<v Speaker 4>I feel like we got jipped, Like, if you get

355
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:54.920
<v Speaker 4>a gold medal, it should be gold.

356
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:58.960
<v Speaker 9>Well, it is gold kind of fortunately percentage of it.

357
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:02.079
<v Speaker 4>Hey, okay, And how is Louis Vatan involved in this?

358
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:06.680
<v Speaker 9>LVMH is the parent company to Louis Vauton and Hennessy

359
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.279
<v Speaker 9>and a jewelry company called I think chal May, and

360
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.079
<v Speaker 9>chal May was given the job of designing these things,

361
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:17.720
<v Speaker 9>designing the metals. And so when the chromium or when

362
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.079
<v Speaker 9>the varney started coming off of them, somebody turned to

363
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.559
<v Speaker 9>LVMH And said, hey, what's going on with your medals here?

364
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.519
<v Speaker 9>And they were like, uhh, no, the we designed them,

365
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.160
<v Speaker 9>but they were created by Lemne des Paris, the French mint. Okay,

366
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:32.960
<v Speaker 9>so it was the French mint. Now that's taking responsibility

367
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:35.440
<v Speaker 9>for the bad formulation of the varnish.

368
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:38.559
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Well, I if you get a chance, I just

369
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:40.960
<v Speaker 4>googled it and it popped up on Instagram. If you

370
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:43.039
<v Speaker 4>haven't seen like what you're talking about, it looks like

371
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:46.039
<v Speaker 4>they were dropped in the water and maybe rescued from

372
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:48.759
<v Speaker 4>the Titanic or something. They would look really like they're

373
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.079
<v Speaker 4>just old and falling apart and it kind of corroded.

374
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:54.119
<v Speaker 9>It looks like the little boy Scout thing that I

375
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:55.799
<v Speaker 9>found that I had when I was a kid, and

376
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker 9>I found recently. Was like, hey, this looks terrible.

377
00:19:58.039 --> 00:19:59.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh you got a boy Scout metal?

378
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:00.640
<v Speaker 11>Yeah?

379
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.079
<v Speaker 4>Oh I love that. Jim Ryan, thank you so much.

380
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:03.519
<v Speaker 9>Thanks Tom.

381
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.359
<v Speaker 4>All right, we'll talk to you soon. Have a good weekend.

382
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 4>A hiker has been shot on the US side of

383
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.319
<v Speaker 4>the border with Mexico. San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond

384
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.160
<v Speaker 4>says human smugglers were involved.

385
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.079
<v Speaker 3>We've had a couple of hikers who were hiking near

386
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.559
<v Speaker 3>the border come up upon a group of people that

387
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:23.519
<v Speaker 3>had two smugglers that were.

388
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.599
<v Speaker 4>Both armed Border Patrol agentsy. The American was with other

389
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:31.160
<v Speaker 4>people hiking on Imperial County or in Imperial County when

390
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:34.680
<v Speaker 4>they were shot at just east of Hakumba. The injured

391
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:38.279
<v Speaker 4>hiker was airlifted to the hospital. A homeless parolee has

392
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.519
<v Speaker 4>been arrested in Riverside for allegedly breaking into an apartment,

393
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.640
<v Speaker 4>sexually assaulting a woman and stealing some of her things.

394
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:47.799
<v Speaker 4>The police were called Monday morning to the University Village

395
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:50.640
<v Speaker 4>Towers apartments. They say the woman reported hearing a fire

396
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.880
<v Speaker 4>alarm in the building and then a knock on her door.

397
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:55.480
<v Speaker 4>When she answered, the guy forced his way in. Police

398
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:59.240
<v Speaker 4>say the man arrested. Julian Madrigal is on parole for

399
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 4>home and Asian robbery. The trial of rapper Asap Rocky

400
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.079
<v Speaker 4>is due to start today in La A jury of

401
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:10.000
<v Speaker 4>five men and seven women was seated yesterday. Four alternates

402
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.759
<v Speaker 4>still need to be picked. The rappers charged with shooting

403
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:15.759
<v Speaker 4>at a former friend in twenty twenty one. President Trump

404
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.039
<v Speaker 4>is pledged to fight the decision by a judge in

405
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.200
<v Speaker 4>Washington State blocking his executive order on birthright citizenship. The

406
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:25.880
<v Speaker 4>judge calls Trump's order a blatant violation of the Constitution,

407
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.880
<v Speaker 4>but Trump says that's to be expected.

408
00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:31.160
<v Speaker 10>Obviously. Will look, they put it before a certain judge

409
00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:32.640
<v Speaker 10>in Seattle.

410
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:37.319
<v Speaker 8>I guess right, and there's our surprises with that judge.

411
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:39.880
<v Speaker 4>The judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan more than forty years ago,

412
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:43.640
<v Speaker 4>is considering a long term injunction. The company and once

413
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:48.079
<v Speaker 4>prominent family behind the drug oxy Conton has agreed to

414
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:53.079
<v Speaker 4>increase their financial contribution to resolve mass opioid litigation involving

415
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.880
<v Speaker 4>prosecutors across the US. New York State Attorney General Letitia

416
00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 4>James says the Sackler family and their company per Due,

417
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.839
<v Speaker 4>helped cause the opioid crisis decades ago and have been

418
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.119
<v Speaker 4>avoiding accountability. This will help communities heal from the devastating

419
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:10.839
<v Speaker 4>losses are wrought by addiction, and this will support treatment

420
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.000
<v Speaker 4>and recovery programs.

421
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:13.200
<v Speaker 7>Across New York and the nation.

422
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:17.079
<v Speaker 4>The Sacklers and Purdue Pharma are increasing their financial contribution

423
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:20.799
<v Speaker 4>to seven point four billion dollars after the Supreme Court

424
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:25.599
<v Speaker 4>overturned a prior settlement. Costco has struck down some anti

425
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:26.799
<v Speaker 4>DEI efforts.

426
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.640
<v Speaker 6>A think tank recently sent the retail giant to proposal

427
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:32.279
<v Speaker 6>saying is shuld conduct an evaluation to see if DEI

428
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.559
<v Speaker 6>or diversity, equity and inclusion policies pose any risk to

429
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:36.119
<v Speaker 6>the company.

430
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:36.599
<v Speaker 3>Well.

431
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:39.920
<v Speaker 6>Yesterday, Costco's board of directors fired back at the conservative group,

432
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:42.960
<v Speaker 6>which is called the National Center for Public Policy Research,

433
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 6>voting down the proposal. The board says the company defends

434
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:49.720
<v Speaker 6>respect and inclusion as there are now nationwide efforts to

435
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.599
<v Speaker 6>strike DEI practices. Costco support for DEI programs is a

436
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:57.200
<v Speaker 6>sharp contrast from positions taken by other big consumer brands

437
00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:00.759
<v Speaker 6>like Walmart, Lows, and Amazon. Andrew Caravella news.

438
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:03.720
<v Speaker 4>President Trump heads to Los Angeles to take a look

439
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.519
<v Speaker 4>at the wildfire devastated areas in Pacific Palisades and Altadena.

440
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:12.240
<v Speaker 4>In Pasadena, Governor Newsom and County Supervisor Catherine Barger invited

441
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.000
<v Speaker 4>Trump to come see the damage. It's not clear if

442
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.000
<v Speaker 4>Trump's going to meet with either of them, but we're

443
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.799
<v Speaker 4>hearing that Newsom is expected to meet Trump on the

444
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:23.039
<v Speaker 4>tarmac when he lands. Pete Hegseth has taken another step

445
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:26.119
<v Speaker 4>toward becoming the next Secretary of Defense. In a first

446
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.480
<v Speaker 4>Senate vote yesterday, his confirmation was advanced fifty one to

447
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:35.079
<v Speaker 4>forty nine. Republicans Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins voted against

448
00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:38.880
<v Speaker 4>hag Seth. A confirmation vote is scheduled on the floor

449
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:43.359
<v Speaker 4>later today. Firefighters keep gaining ground on the fire and

450
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:46.640
<v Speaker 4>Pacific Palisades. It's now seventy five percent surrounded. Officials say

451
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:50.799
<v Speaker 4>the latest damage assessment shows almost sixty eight hundred homes

452
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:54.559
<v Speaker 4>and other buildings were destroyed, nine hundred four others were damaged.

453
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:58.440
<v Speaker 4>At least eleven people were killed in the fire. And

454
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:02.839
<v Speaker 4>speaking of the sixty eight hundred homes and other buildings

455
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:07.240
<v Speaker 4>were destroyed or nine hundred four were damaged. And that's

456
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.119
<v Speaker 4>just going to lead us right into Dean Sharp, the

457
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.559
<v Speaker 4>host of Home on Cafi in the House whisper, because

458
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:17.440
<v Speaker 4>in this situation, the fire was burning so hot and

459
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:20.160
<v Speaker 4>so fast. We don't know if there's anything that could

460
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:23.519
<v Speaker 4>have been done. But as people look to fireproof their homes.

461
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:26.480
<v Speaker 4>There's some things that you might think you should do,

462
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.839
<v Speaker 4>but maybe shouldn't exactly.

463
00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:34.880
<v Speaker 7>And good morning, Amy, Good morning. One of the things

464
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:38.720
<v Speaker 7>that we've been hearing too much about in the last

465
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:42.599
<v Speaker 7>couple of weeks are people kind of overreacting to the

466
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.960
<v Speaker 7>fire situation, thinking, all right, that's it. I don't want

467
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:49.640
<v Speaker 7>this to happen to me, and so we're just cutting down.

468
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:52.200
<v Speaker 7>We're cutting down all of our big trees, we're clearing

469
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.960
<v Speaker 7>out all of the things that could possibly burn. We're

470
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.799
<v Speaker 7>just gonna kind of it's almost like old drought thinking.

471
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.359
<v Speaker 7>If you remember when everybody was thinking about, well, maybe

472
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.640
<v Speaker 7>I should just pull out all my landscape, just put

473
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:10.759
<v Speaker 7>in gravel and desert plants, and that way I've got

474
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:13.599
<v Speaker 7>nothing burning near my house and my house will be safer.

475
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.960
<v Speaker 7>That is not actually a good idea on a couple

476
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:27.480
<v Speaker 7>of levels. Number One, well watered, green verdant plants slow

477
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:31.920
<v Speaker 7>a fire down, they don't speed it up. Okay, So

478
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:34.920
<v Speaker 7>the general rule, the general rule. And I'm all about

479
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:38.640
<v Speaker 7>clearing out brush and dry stuff, but the general rule

480
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:41.519
<v Speaker 7>is this, if it's dead and dry, get rid of it.

481
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 7>If it's green and living, keep it and increase it. Now,

482
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:50.480
<v Speaker 7>there's some exceptions to that, and the exceptions are there

483
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:55.599
<v Speaker 7>are certain trees out there that just don't fare well

484
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:04.279
<v Speaker 7>in wildfires. Resinous trees, pine trees, trees. It's a tree

485
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:09.559
<v Speaker 7>that has a lot of resins inside of it. Uh,

486
00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:13.200
<v Speaker 7>A pine tree, eucalyptus tree, so like something that has

487
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:16.680
<v Speaker 7>sap in it. Yeah, well, I mean all trees have sap.

488
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:20.799
<v Speaker 7>All trees have sap. Okay, but a resinous tree, like

489
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:24.079
<v Speaker 7>you know, you walk through a forest and you're like, hmm, oh,

490
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:28.240
<v Speaker 7>it smells wonderful. Right. The reason that a pine forest

491
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:32.200
<v Speaker 7>smells the way it does is that those resins inside

492
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:36.519
<v Speaker 7>that tree are so active. Same with a eucalyptus tree

493
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:39.119
<v Speaker 7>when you're like, can you smell that eucalyptus? These are

494
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:46.920
<v Speaker 7>trees that they burn. Those resins inside that wood they burn.

495
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.279
<v Speaker 7>They're like they're they're like the wax on on a candle,

496
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.759
<v Speaker 7>as far as you know, feeding the wick. Once it

497
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:55.799
<v Speaker 7>starts to burn.

498
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:56.920
<v Speaker 4>The kind of ooze a little bit.

499
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 7>They ooze, and they burn and burn incredibly incredibly hot

500
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:04.559
<v Speaker 7>and fast.

501
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:06.279
<v Speaker 4>Okay, then I have a question for you that is

502
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:09.799
<v Speaker 4>completely not a we wouldn't find these in southern California.

503
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:12.200
<v Speaker 4>But it is a maple tree, a resinous tree.

504
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:16.079
<v Speaker 7>A maple tree is a different kind of tree. No,

505
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:16.480
<v Speaker 7>it's not.

506
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:18.720
<v Speaker 4>Actually, I was just thinking it would be. It would

507
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:20.480
<v Speaker 4>be because you know, it oozes stuff.

508
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:21.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

509
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:25.319
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, again, it's not sap. Okay, it's a specific kind

510
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:31.279
<v Speaker 7>of sap compound. So so eucalyptus and pine trees. I'm

511
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:33.720
<v Speaker 7>not saying that you can't have them on your property,

512
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:37.039
<v Speaker 7>but those should not be near the house, which.

513
00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:40.039
<v Speaker 4>Is crazy because everybody's got eucalyptus trees.

514
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:44.759
<v Speaker 7>They're everywhere. No, and they're not native to California either.

515
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.279
<v Speaker 7>They don't actually, no, they don't belong here. They were

516
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:51.799
<v Speaker 7>brought here as fire, as a as a frost and

517
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:57.079
<v Speaker 7>wind stops for farming, and they don't actually belong in

518
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:01.440
<v Speaker 7>southern California. One of our feature trees in southern California

519
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:04.440
<v Speaker 7>is not native to California.

520
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:06.119
<v Speaker 4>The palm trees aren't either.

521
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.759
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, there's only one species of palm tree and you

522
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.839
<v Speaker 7>have to find it out past palm springs and palm springs.

523
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:20.000
<v Speaker 7>But as far as La, you know, almost l every

524
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:23.480
<v Speaker 7>image of La is like, oh, the palm trees, and yeah,

525
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.319
<v Speaker 7>none of them, none of them technically belong here. And

526
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.119
<v Speaker 7>a palm tree, we talk about fire resistant vents right

527
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:36.279
<v Speaker 7>because of embers flying a palm tree this is its job,

528
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 7>and a fire it just becomes an ember hydrant. If

529
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:42.440
<v Speaker 7>you've ever seen a palm tree burning in a wildfire,

530
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:46.480
<v Speaker 7>embers are just flying off that thing like crazy. So

531
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:50.680
<v Speaker 7>those kinds of trees should not be hanging over our homes,

532
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:54.279
<v Speaker 7>sitting right next to our homes. That's not safe. But

533
00:28:55.039 --> 00:29:03.359
<v Speaker 7>every other kind of green, verdant, full tree actually helps

534
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:08.559
<v Speaker 7>block embers from getting to the house, and to clear

535
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.519
<v Speaker 7>them out is to essentially create a bowling alley effect.

536
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:15.920
<v Speaker 7>We've just cleared the lane for embers to get directly

537
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:18.799
<v Speaker 7>to our structures that mean so much to us. And

538
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:23.079
<v Speaker 7>so trees help, trees help, green plants help. What about

539
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:27.960
<v Speaker 7>jack Aranda's Jackaranda tree is fine, not a problem.

540
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:29.000
<v Speaker 4>Is It's my favorite.

541
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:32.039
<v Speaker 7>So but the moral of the story here is that

542
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:36.079
<v Speaker 7>we do not need to overreact by removing green. It's actually,

543
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:41.440
<v Speaker 7>if you ask any fire expert, green moist fuel. That's

544
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:43.960
<v Speaker 7>how they refer to it. Is the kind of stuff.

545
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:46.599
<v Speaker 7>It's not that they won't burn, but the fire really

546
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Speaker 7>has to work hard to burn through moist materials, and

547
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:54.920
<v Speaker 7>so it slows a fire down. And the other thing

548
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:58.480
<v Speaker 7>is the fact that the presence of all of these

549
00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:01.200
<v Speaker 7>and you've talked to you, and I've talked about this before,

550
00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:04.119
<v Speaker 7>the presence of all of these green trees and this

551
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:11.559
<v Speaker 7>lush landscape in southern California actually cools our region, brings

552
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:16.119
<v Speaker 7>more moisture into our region. And if we had more

553
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:20.559
<v Speaker 7>of it, we would have less dry brush, less dry weather,

554
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:23.079
<v Speaker 7>and less fires to begin with.

555
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:25.640
<v Speaker 4>So we really should go green around our homes.

556
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:28.759
<v Speaker 7>We really do need to go green around our homes.

557
00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:33.279
<v Speaker 7>Don't overreact. Again, if you've got dangerous trees hanging over

558
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:36.680
<v Speaker 7>your house or right next to your house, that's something

559
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:39.119
<v Speaker 7>to think about. Otherwise, go green.

560
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:43.759
<v Speaker 4>Okay, and Dean, this weekend, you're having an all call

561
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:47.200
<v Speaker 4>weekend on your show, right, Yes, we are, Okay, So

562
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:48.200
<v Speaker 4>what does that mean?

563
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:51.880
<v Speaker 7>What that means is that we're just taking a break

564
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.640
<v Speaker 7>from you know, we're taking a breath from all of

565
00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:59.279
<v Speaker 7>the massive amount of material and information that we've been

566
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 7>pumping out, and we're giving our listeners the opportunity to

567
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.799
<v Speaker 7>talk about whatever it is that they want to talk about.

568
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:07.119
<v Speaker 7>I'm sitting on this side of the microphone. We open

569
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:10.680
<v Speaker 7>up the phones and anything you want to talk about

570
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.119
<v Speaker 7>regarding your home. If you've still got fire questions, absolutely,

571
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:17.240
<v Speaker 7>if it's anything else regarding your home, you set the

572
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:18.319
<v Speaker 7>agenda for the weekend.

573
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:21.720
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I'll call Weekend on Home with Dean Sharp right

574
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:24.680
<v Speaker 4>here on KFI. You can listen tomorrow six to eight

575
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:28.039
<v Speaker 4>am and Sunday nine am to noon. You can also

576
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:31.480
<v Speaker 4>follow Dean at Home with Dean as always, thanks for

577
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:33.440
<v Speaker 4>the great advice. We'll talk to you soon.

578
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:34.880
<v Speaker 7>Thanks, am all right.

579
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.799
<v Speaker 4>Federal prosecutors have released a recorded phone call in which

580
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:42.839
<v Speaker 4>they say show hey, Otani's former interpreter tried to transfer

581
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:46.400
<v Speaker 4>three hundred thousand dollars from Otani's bank account to himself.

582
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:49.200
<v Speaker 4>What is the reason for this transaction.

583
00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:51.079
<v Speaker 3>For a car Loan?

584
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:55.839
<v Speaker 4>Prosecutors say the caller was not Otani but Ipe Misuhara.

585
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:58.440
<v Speaker 4>What is your relationship to the paye.

586
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:01.000
<v Speaker 9>All he worked on?

587
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:03.960
<v Speaker 4>The caller was asked if there would be any future

588
00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 4>transfers to the friend and he said possibly. Misahara pleaded

589
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.839
<v Speaker 4>guilty last year to bank fraud and filing a false

590
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:14.960
<v Speaker 4>tax return after stealing almost seventeen million dollars from Otani.

591
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.319
<v Speaker 4>The ex interpreter was supposed to be sentenced today, but

592
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:19.559
<v Speaker 4>that sentencing has been pushed back to early next month.

593
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 4>Robert F. Kennedy Junior gets his turn before senators next week.

594
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:26.319

599
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:43.359
<v Speaker 4>the Caribbean to push the Trump administration's agenda on immigration.

600
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:46.759
<v Speaker 4>One of the issues Rubio could raise is Trump's interest

601
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:50.599
<v Speaker 4>in getting the Panama Canal back under US control. Missouri

602
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.559
<v Speaker 4>Republican Senator Josh Holly says he agrees with Trump that

603
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:56.519
<v Speaker 4>China's involvement in the canal is a violation of a

604
00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:57.960
<v Speaker 4>nineteen seventy seven agreement.

605
00:32:58.039 --> 00:32:59.880
<v Speaker 11>We paid for the Panama Canal, we built the Panama

606
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.640
<v Speaker 11>and I don't think that they have followed the treaty

607
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:05.000
<v Speaker 11>and we never should it given to the Patawa Canal.

608
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:05.839
<v Speaker 7>I think it was a mistake.

609
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:09.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, China doesn't actually operate the canal. Chinese owned companies do.

610
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:13.119
<v Speaker 4>President Trump has refused to rule out using the US

611
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:16.839
<v Speaker 4>military to retake the waterway, and armed visitors managed to

612
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:19.839
<v Speaker 4>get past security at the US Capitol while confirmation hearings

613
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:23.000
<v Speaker 4>were underway. ABC's Pierre Thomas says the man even went

614
00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:24.160
<v Speaker 4>on a tour of the building.

615
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:26.480
<v Speaker 10>Sol Wheny say the man set off magnetometers at the

616
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:30.039
<v Speaker 10>Capitol visitor Center and was then subjected to additional screening

617
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:33.400
<v Speaker 10>by a Capitol police officer who failed to find the firearm,

618
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:35.880
<v Speaker 10>which was discovered as the man left the Library of

619
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:37.359
<v Speaker 10>Congress following his tour.

620
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:41.160
<v Speaker 4>Thomas said Capitol police officers will have to go undergo

621
00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:46.559
<v Speaker 4>mandatory refresher training on security screenings. Magnetometer. That's going to

622
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:48.200
<v Speaker 4>be my word of the day, although it's going to

623
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:50.960
<v Speaker 4>be hard to use it in a sentence. Cooler temperatures

624
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.720
<v Speaker 4>and calmer winds are settling into the Southland, with rain

625
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:57.799
<v Speaker 4>expected this weekend. Red flag warnings expire at ten this morning.

626
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:00.279
<v Speaker 4>Most areas are going to see temperatures drop from around

627
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:03.359
<v Speaker 4>eighty yesterday to the high sixties today and then into

628
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:06.440
<v Speaker 4>the fifties this weekend. Two and a half billion dollars

629
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:09.880
<v Speaker 4>in wildfire aids coming to southern California. Lawmakers passed the

630
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:12.960
<v Speaker 4>funding yesterday and the governor signed it. The bills, supported

631
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:16.239
<v Speaker 4>by both Republicans and Democrats, include more funding to rebuild

632
00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:20.039
<v Speaker 4>schools and homes. State Senator Scott Wiener says they are

633
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:22.199
<v Speaker 4>all on the same team when it comes to supporting

634
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:26.360
<v Speaker 4>LA and helping people recover. Drought conditions are getting worse

635
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:29.519
<v Speaker 4>in southern California. That's according to Noah's Drought Monitor, which

636
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.320
<v Speaker 4>warned back in October that parts of California had already

637
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:35.679
<v Speaker 4>reached extreme or near record levels and they expect those

638
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:39.480
<v Speaker 4>conditions to get worse, which they have. We're just minutes

639
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:41.440
<v Speaker 4>away from handling the news this morning. Another round of

640
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:45.039
<v Speaker 4>hostage releases is set for this weekend in Gaza. Right now,

641
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:48.639
<v Speaker 4>let's say good morning to ABC's Will gans Will. About

642
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:52.800
<v Speaker 4>twenty four hours ago, the Oscar nominations were released, and

643
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:54.679
<v Speaker 4>so we've had a little time to dig into them.

644
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:58.519
<v Speaker 4>Any big surprises, I yeah, I.

645
00:34:58.480 --> 00:34:59.960
<v Speaker 5>Would say there are a few surprises.

646
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:04.239
<v Speaker 11>Is two of the surprises that I am, you know,

647
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:08.760
<v Speaker 11>most excited about are the acting nominations for Sebastian Stan

648
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:13.480
<v Speaker 11>and Jeremy Strong for their work in The Apprentice, which is,

649
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:16.840
<v Speaker 11>you know, a movie about Donald Trump as a as

650
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:19.920
<v Speaker 11>a young real estate vogul coming up in the seventies

651
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:23.440
<v Speaker 11>and eighties in New York City. You know, obviously this

652
00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:24.920
<v Speaker 11>movie is going to make everyone.

653
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:25.840
<v Speaker 5>Feel a certain type away.

654
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:28.000
<v Speaker 11>But both of their performances are so good, and the

655
00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.679
<v Speaker 11>fact that Jeremy Strong is nominated for Supporting Actor means

656
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:32.400
<v Speaker 11>he's nominated against.

657
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:34.280
<v Speaker 5>His brother from Succession, Kiaran Culkin.

658
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:37.199
<v Speaker 11>And anytime we get to see those two interacting together,

659
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:40.480
<v Speaker 11>it's always a good time. You know, It's it's competitive

660
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:43.239
<v Speaker 11>but hilarious, and you know they always sort of roast

661
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.199
<v Speaker 11>each other on the carpet and stuff like that. So

662
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:48.400
<v Speaker 11>I was excited to see nominations for those two.

663
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:50.960
<v Speaker 4>Those two guys, all right, what about what else?

664
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:53.159
<v Speaker 5>A complete unknown?

665
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:55.559
<v Speaker 11>So you know, we knew that Timothy Shallomey would be

666
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:59.519
<v Speaker 11>nominated for playing Bob Dylan in this movie, but it

667
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:03.360
<v Speaker 11>also got a Best Director nomination, and it got nominations

668
00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:07.239
<v Speaker 11>in the Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress categories. So really,

669
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:10.400
<v Speaker 11>one of my major takeaways after the nominations yesterday was like, Okay,

670
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:13.840
<v Speaker 11>we really need to pay attention to how the Academy

671
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:16.400
<v Speaker 11>feels about a Complete Unknown. That's a lot of momentum

672
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:18.920
<v Speaker 11>heading into Oscar Sunday. The fact that it got all

673
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:24.480
<v Speaker 11>those major categories. So I mean, obviously Amelia Perez picked

674
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:28.599
<v Speaker 11>up thirteen nominations, but with all those those big nominations

675
00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:30.679
<v Speaker 11>for a complete unknown, I think it might be a

676
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:33.239
<v Speaker 11>front runner now when you know, earlier we might have

677
00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:35.679
<v Speaker 11>just thought of it as a vehicle for Timmy Shallomy.

678
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:40.079
<v Speaker 4>Okay, and then so Wicked got a lot of nominations.

679
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:42.920
<v Speaker 4>It used to be sort of unheard of almost that

680
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:46.239
<v Speaker 4>a blockbuster like that would get nominated, but that seems

681
00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:47.920
<v Speaker 4>to be changing a little. We've seen a little more

682
00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:50.719
<v Speaker 4>of that. Where are you How are you feeling about Wicked?

683
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:52.760
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I feel good about it.

684
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:55.159
<v Speaker 11>The other thing, too, is that I do think that

685
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:58.840
<v Speaker 11>a movie like that, which is sort of the out

686
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:01.079
<v Speaker 11>of this bunch you know of nominees this year, I

687
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:04.840
<v Speaker 11>think it's the most feel good. It provides obviously a

688
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:08.039
<v Speaker 11>lovely sense of escapism, which I think maybe a ton

689
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:09.039
<v Speaker 11>of people are.

690
00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:10.119
<v Speaker 5>Looking for these days.

691
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:12.639
<v Speaker 11>So it doesn't surprise me that it did very well.

692
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:15.880
<v Speaker 11>And I think that those you know, the way that

693
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:20.199
<v Speaker 11>people want to feel and need to feel right now, particularly.

694
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:20.519
<v Speaker 3>In Los Angeles.

695
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:24.480
<v Speaker 11>You know, that could help Wicked a lot heading into

696
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:25.960
<v Speaker 11>Oscar Sunday in March.

697
00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:28.119
<v Speaker 5>So, you know, I'm thrilled that it did so well.

698
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:31.800
<v Speaker 11>It's definitely was my favorite watch, the easiest watch, the

699
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:34.239
<v Speaker 11>most enjoyable watch for me, out of this list of

700
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:37.559
<v Speaker 11>ten movies. So I'm really happy that it did so well.

701
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:40.559
<v Speaker 11>And of course Cynthia and Arianna, you know, I'm hoping

702
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:42.400
<v Speaker 11>that we might get to see them perform together on

703
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:44.800
<v Speaker 11>Oscar Sunday because they sort of change the rules about

704
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:47.039
<v Speaker 11>what music will be performed that day.

705
00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:49.840
<v Speaker 4>That could be fun. The other thing that I was

706
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:53.000
<v Speaker 4>thinking about when I was looking through the nominations was

707
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:55.519
<v Speaker 4>the Best Actors category. And You've got to me more

708
00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:58.320
<v Speaker 4>from the substance, which I know you said you liked

709
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:00.440
<v Speaker 4>it not for the faint of heart. I did not

710
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.079
<v Speaker 4>like it, But I think, to me, did she did

711
00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:06.119
<v Speaker 4>a good job, but she didn't make me feel anything.

712
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:08.239
<v Speaker 4>You know, she did a good job in the role.

713
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:12.840
<v Speaker 4>Cynthia Rivo made me cry. She did such an amazing job,

714
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:14.880
<v Speaker 4>and I would I would love to see something like

715
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:16.840
<v Speaker 4>that be rewarded. We'll have to wait and see, but

716
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:19.079
<v Speaker 4>I kind of doubt it, but it'd be nice.

717
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:20.519
<v Speaker 5>I'm with you.

718
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:24.039
<v Speaker 11>And the big thing about the difference between like a

719
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:26.880
<v Speaker 11>Demi Mour performance and a Cynthia Rivo performance is sort

720
00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:28.360
<v Speaker 11>of the way you.

721
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:29.320
<v Speaker 5>Walk out of that theater.

722
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:31.719
<v Speaker 11>So with Demi Moore, obviously, the last shot of that

723
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:34.559
<v Speaker 11>movie is pretty gross and it's like you do see her,

724
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:37.079
<v Speaker 11>you see her face or whatever. But compare that to

725
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:39.039
<v Speaker 11>how you feel walking out of Wicked when you've just

726
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:44.320
<v Speaker 11>watched Cynthia Rivo totally crushed to find gravity and you're like, yes,

727
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:45.119
<v Speaker 11>like of.

728
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:46.199
<v Speaker 5>Course Cynthia is.

729
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.639
<v Speaker 11>It's like she stays on your mind and in your

730
00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:50.679
<v Speaker 11>heart and so you know, I'm with you.

731
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:53.000
<v Speaker 5>It would be amazing to see her rewarded for that.

732
00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:55.199
<v Speaker 11>And by the way, if Cynthia wins on Oscar Sunday,

733
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.559
<v Speaker 11>that would complete her egot. You knows one Oscar short,

734
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:03.119
<v Speaker 11>so I mean that would be yeah, something spectacular.

735
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:04.719
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'm sure we're going to be rehashing all of

736
00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:07.360
<v Speaker 4>this on March third, because the awards are being handed

737
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:10.199
<v Speaker 4>out on March second. ABC's Willgans thank you so much.

738
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:12.840
<v Speaker 5>Thank you, Amy. Great to talk to you always.

739
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.000
<v Speaker 4>All right, talk to you next week. Let's get back

740
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:16.519
<v Speaker 4>to some of the stories coming out of the KFI

741
00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:19.000
<v Speaker 4>twenty four our newsroom. President Trump is expected to visit

742
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:22.119
<v Speaker 4>La today to see the fire damage, but cafi's Daniel

743
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.199
<v Speaker 4>Martindale says details of the visit haven't been released by

744
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:25.800
<v Speaker 4>the White House.

745
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:28.679
<v Speaker 8>Trump spoke about the deadly fires during his inaugural address

746
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:31.639
<v Speaker 8>on Monday. Trump has been highly critical of Governor Gavin

747
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:34.960
<v Speaker 8>Newsom's handling of the wildfire situation. Earlier this week, the

748
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.800
<v Speaker 8>President told Fox News he doesn't think the federal government

749
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:41.719
<v Speaker 8>should give California anything until the state changes certain policies.

750
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.039
<v Speaker 4>Those policies have to do with forest management and allowing

<v Speaker 4>more water to flow to southern California from up north.

753
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:54.719
<v Speaker 4>to provide mortgage relief to property owners impacted by the fires.

758
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:09.239

759

765
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:29.639
<v Speaker 4>cut in state funding, which could affect more than four

766
00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:33.480
<v Speaker 4>hundred and fifty thousand students. Governor Newsom's budget plan includes

767
00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:35.639
