WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.000 on the iHeartRadio app stories that were following Israeli Prime 4 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.439 Minister of Bannet Yaho has vowed revenge for what he 5 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.359 described as a cruel and malicious violation of the ceasefire 6 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:19.120 agreement with Hamas, But Hamas apparently released the body that 7 00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:24.359 Israeli authorities found was not that of an Israeli mother 8 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:27.280 of two young boys. HAMA said that it would conduct 9 00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.480 a review of the information regarding the body. The group 10 00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:33.840 suggested that the mix up was possible because they said 11 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:39.119 Israel bombed the area where the hostages were being held 12 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:44.000 and that they may have grabbed the wrong body. President 13 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.359 Trump's envoy Ukraine and Russia has says he held extensive 14 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.039 and positive discussions with President Zelenski of Ukraine after about 15 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.159 the three year war. He praised the leader as an 16 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.399 embattled and courageous leader of a nation at war. This 17 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.479 is retired US Lieutenant General Keith. This is quite a 18 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.120 departure from the rebukes of Zelensky that we have seen 19 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.480 by Trump and some other senior US officials. A federal 20 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.359 judge has allowed President Trump's mass firing of federal workers 21 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.719 to move forward. District Judge said he could not grant 22 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.400 emotion from unions that represent the workers to stop the layoffs, 23 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.599 though he did say that there is some chaos as 24 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.239 a result of all of this. 25 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:24.680 And the fires. 26 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.159 The Palisades fire, the Eton fire wiped out thousands of homes. 27 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.680 That has forced all of these families to find places 28 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.200 to live, and the tenants who were just getting by 29 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.719 before the fires now are facing the search for a 30 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.400 new rental home. La rental market had too few affordable 31 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.040 homes to start with, and now they're suggesting that there 32 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.879 are a lot of rent gougers out there. Attorney General 33 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.480 Rob Bonte has worn property owners against price gouging and 34 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.239 said you cannot accept a rent that exceeds a ten 35 00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.400 percent cap, even if the prospective tenant is willing to 36 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:05.640 pay more. Speaking of our fires, the cleanup is in 37 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.840 full swing and we got to get through the cleanup 38 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.960 before we can do any sort of recovery. And if 39 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.919 you think about the devastation in Altadena or Pacific Palisades, 40 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.520 you're talking about millions of tons of trash. One estimate 41 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.800 is that it's about four and a half million tons 42 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:31.439 of ash, of wreckage, of junk, of damage, all of that. 43 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.879 That would be one of the largest amounts of disaster 44 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:41.159 debris in the state history. Now we know that everything 45 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:49.159 that burned in people's homes, batteries, metals, appliances, televisions, couches, 46 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.800 whatever it is, many of them have toxic chemicals in 47 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.960 them that are released as a gas when they burn 48 00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.280 or are just spread out. When it comes to the 49 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.159 ashes that are left over, and the previous assessment found 50 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.479 that the ash did have levels of toxic chemicals that 51 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.639 would be considered chemical considered hazardous by state standards. But 52 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.240 the debris has been taken to landfills before any of 53 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.840 the testing has been performed. As an example, up in 54 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.719 Granada Hills, you got the Sunshine Canyon landfill. If you 55 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.319 go up the New Hall Pass, it's just to the 56 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.680 west of the highway. I go by there every single day, 57 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:35.479 at least twice. And there are days I haven't figured 58 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.479 out the weather pattern yet, like is it on a 59 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.479 warm day, is it a cold day? But there are 60 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.240 days you can smell that thing because it's a dump. 61 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.879 I mean literally, it's a dump. It's a landfill. It's 62 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:49.800 where everybody takes their trash, and there is a concern that, 63 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.800 among other things, there's a school about a mile away 64 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.719 van Go Elementary over in Granada Hills. The landfill is 65 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.240 up in an area where there are strong winds that 66 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.719 come through the New Hall Pass and there's a concern 67 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.280 from the people who live in Granada Hills that those 68 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.879 winds are going to blow this dust and ash into 69 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.439 the community's downwind and one of the people who lives 70 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.319 there says, yeah, it's dangerous to us. And the reason 71 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.759 we know that is those guys all wear hazmat suits 72 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.079 when they're messing around with it, and that they're depositing 73 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.560 the material from six in the morning to seven at night. 74 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.600 There are portions of that material that are gonna get dry, 75 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.839 and the winds are going to keep blowing and then 76 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.279 that's going to disperse this particulate matter across the San 77 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.879 Fernando Valley. Another one in Calabasas, they have a landfill. 78 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.680 A bunch of different signs on their policies for toxic 79 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.120 matter or dangerous matter that would go into the landfill. 80 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.000 One of them just simply says no hazardous waste. Another 81 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.240 one says you can't put these electronics, these household items 82 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.480 because they may contain toxic substances. Think about batteries or 83 00:04:57.560 --> 00:04:59.959 cans of paint or spray paint or something like that. 84 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.720 There's a new sign in front of the Calabass landfill 85 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.759 that says any incoming fire debris must have a certificate 86 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:11.839 that verifies its non hazardous. 87 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:14.839 The problem is that. 88 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.839 Only pertains to the private contractors who have been hauling dirt, 89 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.079 not the federally hired crews that are taking part in 90 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:26.279 the debris removal. Guy lives in Agura Hills, president of 91 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.199 the Loso virgin A School Board in Calabasses, said you 92 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.759 legally cannot throw away a double A battery in this landfill. 93 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.639 But now they're allowing hundreds of thousands of tons of 94 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.800 burnt batteries, paint chips, and other things into the community 95 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.560 and it's incomprehensible. They're not saying just take it somewhere else, 96 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.480 we don't care where it goes. They're saying that there 97 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:54.120 are hazardous waste landfills that are equipped to handle the 98 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.839 potential toxic, dangerous material because they have, among other things, 99 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.120 sturdy line in the bottom of them. To prevent leakage. 100 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:07.160 They have monitors to detect unintended discharges, etc. LA City 101 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:11.199 Councilman John Lee represents that northwest side of the San 102 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.120 Fernando Valley. He has introduced a measure calling on the 103 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.120 city attorney to take legal action to block any of 104 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:22.120 the wildfire debris from being dumped at Sunshine Canyon and 105 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:27.079 said the proposal without sufficient testing and oversight, would be 106 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.160 an insult. The proposal for them to accept the debris, 107 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.040 he said, it would be an insult to the communities 108 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.560 that are located near the landfill. The district has already 109 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.920 faced numerous environmental challenges and simply can't allow another one 110 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.519 to make its way into the neighborhoods the landfill. According 111 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.160 to the landfill people, Republic Services is the owner of 112 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.279 the landfill at Sunshine Canyon. They say they are equipped 113 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.600 to handle this. They said, it's a strong community partner. 114 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.879 It's responsible option for the non hazardous waste. They have 115 00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:01.279 extensive experience firing handling fire waste. Land Bill does have 116 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.120 one of those state of the art liner systems, a 117 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.360 cover system, a gas collection system. All of them helped 118 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.639 to ensure that the material is managed safely and responsibly. 119 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:13.360 This is another one of those fights. 120 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.680 There's kind of an aftermath of the disaster that we 121 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.959 saw back on January seventh, started on January seventh, that's 122 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:23.759 not going to end anytime soon as this cleanup continues. 123 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.759 Speaking of though, yesterday we spent some time talking about 124 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.920 how Karen Bass has been in the hot seat, a 125 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:36.360 well deserved hot seat, since she left Ta Ghana when 126 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.920 we knew that there was this dangerous wind situation that 127 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.079 was happening in the hills. Gavin Newsom is another one 128 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.639 of those guys who's going to be judged by guys, 129 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.199 I mean politicians, who's going to be judged based on 130 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:52.279 the response to this disaster. It's not just another wildfire. 131 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:57.279 This is the largest disaster that we've seen in California history, 132 00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.800 at least monetarily speaking. Gavin Newsom has been seen in 133 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:06.639 and around south southern California, La County, La City specifically 134 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.600 since the fire started back on January seventh. 135 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:10.879 He was here the next day. 136 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.560 He has been living and working out of the Governor's office, 137 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.759 the one that exists here in LA for quite a while. 138 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.839 And listen, I am not one who is a giant 139 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:23.879 fan of Gavin Newsom, but I got to give him 140 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:27.639 credit for being here. Cal Matters actually wrote up an 141 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:34.600 article that said that a politician at whatever level can 142 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:39.360 rise or fall depending on the way they respond to disasters, 143 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:45.279 and in this case, they're suggesting that because the governor 144 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:49.879 has been so present after the fires, that he might 145 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:54.120 even be considered the governor of Los Angeles. Interesting title, 146 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:59.559 but this is clearly a crucial moment in whatever legacy 147 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.600 he's going to have as a two term governor of 148 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.720 the state of California and whatever political future that he's 149 00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:09.759 got working around that finally quaffed head of his And 150 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:14.320 as much as he wants to deny that that's on 151 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.559 his mind, that's completely on his mind. There's a guy 152 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.200 who a journalist wrote a biography about former Governor Brown 153 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.159 and now teaches at UCLA. Said people do turn to 154 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.200 leadership state or federal when all hell is breaking loose. 155 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.679 We know that, and said it's a time when you 156 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.600 can really seal the affections of people by seeming to 157 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.200 be there for them. And sometimes it's a term that 158 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.799 my father in law used to use or still uses. 159 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.960 It's called the ministry of presence. Sometimes people just need 160 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.080 to know that you're physically there when they're going through something. 161 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.559 And to his credit, Gavin Newsom has been at every 162 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:54.039 one of these photo ops, every one of these not everyone, 163 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.720 but most of these news conferences, the higher profile ones. 164 00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.559 When cal Matters went to the governor's office and asked 165 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.519 for comment on all of this and asked to speak 166 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:05.080 to the governor, they turned him down. 167 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:06.480 They said, nah, he's too busy. 168 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.879 But the senior advisor for communications did insist that the 169 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.159 governor and his staff are not contemplating his legacy as 170 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.879 they navigate the response to the fires. 171 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:19.200 How is that possible. 172 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:25.799 Gavin Newsom was one of the loudest people, the loudest politicians, 173 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.559 the loudest Democratic politicians that was going against a second 174 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:31.559 Trump administration. 175 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:32.759 Remember the campaign. 176 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:34.799 He was going to travel around the country and he 177 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:38.960 was going to help safeguard states from the power that 178 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.440 was the evil Republican Party. That's what he was planning 179 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.879 to do. He's been really quiet on the second Trump 180 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:51.480 administration since it's come to fruition, since inauguration day. 181 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:52.399 On January twentieth. 182 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.480 He was in southern California on January seventh. Lucky for 183 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:02.279 him because he was already there for an event with 184 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:03.279 Joe Biden. 185 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.679 Joe Biden was in town. You remember that night too. 186 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.000 That event was ultimately scrapped because of the fires that 187 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.840 were going on, and Gavin Newsom made it to the 188 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.279 fire zones within a couple of hours and said, when 189 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.879 it became very clear, this is his communications director, when 190 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:20.600 it became clear that this was one of the worst 191 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.440 disasters in California history. We stayed being down there seeing 192 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.360 the level of devastation. It was clear that this was 193 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.399 something that was going to take all of his time. Now, 194 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.759 think about the difference between that attitude and the attitude 195 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.240 that Karen Bass had, And again we talked about it before. 196 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.840 She says she was never warned about the potential danger. 197 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.320 Gavin Newsom gets lucky by being in southern California. I 198 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.360 don't think he would have come down here if he 199 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.080 knew just that the red flag warning was considered a 200 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.519 particularly dangerous situation. But he gets to have the slight 201 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.480 positive bump, while Karen Bass is dealing with the negative 202 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.320 bump for the way that she handled it. And to 203 00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.759 be honest, and at least part of it is just 204 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:05.159 the bad timing of the Biden request that she go 205 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.399 to Ghana to act as a sort of a diplomatic 206 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.600 liaison for the United States at that inauguration there in Ghana. 207 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.600 So big stories out of Hollywood today as well. Netflix 208 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.879 is going to drop all kinds of money in another 209 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.159 country for some of the production for TV and movies. 210 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.080 This is a new one we haven't heard before. That. 211 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:29.639 And James Bond, the property that is James Bond is 212 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:33.399 now owned by another evil genius. A couple stories that 213 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.600 we're following throughout the day today. I don't know what 214 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:41.120 kind of a mess this made, but six elephants were 215 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.919 killed when a passenger train collided with a herd in 216 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:50.679 Sri Lanka. They said it was four young elephants and 217 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:55.000 two adult elephants near a wildlife sanctuary there in Sri Lanka. 218 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:59.480 That just sounds absolutely awful. Luigimangioni is doing court today. 219 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.600 Man accused of shooting the CEO of United Healthcare back 220 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.720 in New York City and then leading everybody on a manhunt, 221 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.519 scheduled to be in court today for the first time 222 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.639 since his arraignment on state murder and terror charges in December. 223 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.080 Prosecutors and his defense attorneys are expected to do a 224 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.399 bunch of updates and stuff, status of the case, etc. 225 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:21.320 But the judge could set the deadlines for some of 226 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:26.080 the pre trial paperwork and possibly even a trial date. 227 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:34.639 And then Ukrainian intelligence is suggesting that Vladimir Putin is 228 00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:39.519 preparing an announcement to declare victory in its war with Ukraine. 229 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.960 That he's expected to frame this announcement not only as 230 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.679 a triumph over Ukraine but also over NATO and portraying 231 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:49.559 this conflict as a broader defeat for the West. We'll 232 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:51.120 talk a little bit more about that we get in 233 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.600 a swamp watch just in terms of this would be 234 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:58.080 similar to what President Trump has been giving to Vladimir Putin. 235 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.120 But these already getting a bunch of pushback from some 236 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.399 pretty high high profile Conservatives and Republicans who disagree with 237 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.000 the way that he's going about trying to broker a 238 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:12.519 peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. All Right, So Netflix 239 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:18.279 is planning to spend a billion dollars in Mexico over 240 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.480 the next few years. Ted Sarandos, of course, the head 241 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.039 co founder I believe it is co CEO, announced the 242 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:29.240 plan yesterday during a press conference with the President of 243 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:33.200 Mexico Claudia Shinbaum. They said it could fund about twenty 244 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.440 productions per year on average. During the event, they also 245 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:42.240 announced two million dollars in Mexico City's studios called Churubusco 246 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:46.279 Studios to improve their facilities. Mexico, they said, is a 247 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:51.200 key place in Netflix's history because the TV show Club 248 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:55.279 de Quervos, produced in Mexico, premier back in twenty fifteen, 249 00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:59.799 was the first Netflix series that was shot outside of 250 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:01.960 the the United States. Since then, they've put a bunch 251 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:05.919 of projects in Mexico. Have been popular films like Roma 252 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:11.039 and Bardo and Pinocchio by Mexican directors. They've been standouts 253 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:14.720 for Netflix. In twenty twenty, they established the Latin American 254 00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:18.519 headquarters for Netflix there in Mexico City, and they said 255 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.559 for the last five years, the workforce in that office 256 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:27.480 has grown tenfold, which is pretty amazing. The CEO Ted 257 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:31.240 Sarandos again revealed that the production of the feature film 258 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.600 Pedro Parramo contributed more than eighteen and a half million 259 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.519 dollars to the GDP of Mexico and generated thousands of 260 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.720 jobs in those sectors, and he spoke very eloquently about 261 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:47.840 the scenes. 262 00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.320 There the journey in Mexico. This is Ted Sarando speaking. 263 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:53.440 Our journey in Mexico has taken us from north to south, 264 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:57.279 from sunsets on the Baja California Peninsula to sunrises on 265 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.799 the Caribbean. We have produced more than in more than 266 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:03.559 fifty locations in twenty five states. With this renewed commitment, 267 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.799 we look forward to deepening our partnership even more. The 268 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:11.799 business opportunities there are all over the place, and you 269 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:13.960 think about this, just if all you did was look 270 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:21.720 at the number of potential streaming customers in Mexico. A 271 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.000 lot of them, just like we hear in the United States, 272 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.679 maintained several subscriptions at a time. They said Netflix is 273 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:31.879 among the three most popular streaming platforms among Mexican people, 274 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:35.360 is the second most used video on demand application, with 275 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:38.120 a market share about twenty one percent. So they're pouring 276 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.559 a lot of money into that market. 277 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:49.799 And then James Bond, this is a shakeup. 278 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:55.679 They're saying, they could stir the film industry, get it shaken, stirred. 279 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.679 Amazon MGM announced that the studio has taken the creative 280 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.440 rain of the Double O seven franchise from the family 281 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:05.839 that controlled it for a long time. Michael Wilson and 282 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:08.559 Barbara Brockley said they were going to be stepping back, 283 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:13.240 so Amazon MGM, Wilson, Brockley they formed a new joint 284 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:17.640 venture in which they all co own the intellectual property rights, 285 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.240 but it's Amazon that's going to have creative control on this. 286 00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:23.799 They didn't explain how much this is a few hundred 287 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.440 million dollars, but they said it's expected to close sometime 288 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:33.119 over the next year. Amazon bought MGM for six billion 289 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.000 in change a few years ago. They said it's significantly 290 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:39.200 motivated by the acquisition of one of the movies most 291 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:42.960 beloved and long time franchises. Of course, No Time to 292 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:47.480 Die was the last James Bond. There's a question now 293 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.119 about what they're going to do with this. Do they 294 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:52.440 turn this into sort of the Star Wars, I mean 295 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.519 a huge franchise like this, Think think Star Wars, I 296 00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:57.960 think Marvel movies. 297 00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:58.400 Whatever. 298 00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:00.960 There's a lot of off shoots that you can do 299 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.960 that have never really been done with James Bond. Yeah, 300 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.160 the character's been in dozens, if not a couple one 301 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.599 hundred different stories in book form, movie forum, et cetera. 302 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:16.920 But they've never done the beginning of James Bond, the 303 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.480 life story of this guy. How did he become the 304 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.839 world's most handsome secret agent? 305 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.119 And what about the other people that he works with? 306 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:28.000 Are there backstories to these other characters that are involved 307 00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:30.599 that that could have some sort of spin off on 308 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:36.400 all of them? What Joe Russo though Marvel Cinematic Universe 309 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:41.279 co director guy he did Avengers Endgame, he says, don't 310 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:47.039 Cinematic Universe James Bond stick with just James Bond movies. 311 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:52.680 Don't get into those other character discussions and offshoot movies. 312 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:58.599 All right, changing gears significantly in the next segment, something 313 00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:02.240 happened yesterday that I talked about at the beginning of 314 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:06.279 the show yesterday, and this was the turnover of the 315 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:12.079 bodies of Israeli hostages by Hamas. Two of those were 316 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:16.119 of babies, when was nine months old, when was four 317 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:21.200 years old, and then their mother. The problem, according to 318 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:26.799 Israel is that body was not their mother. And Benjamin 319 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:31.720 Netanyaho has basically said, in echoing Trump, all hell is 320 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.480 going to break loose. 321 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.559 The story out of Israel got gruesome. 322 00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:45.799 That place has been absolutely showered in blood for year decade. 323 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:50.440 I mean it is a hard place to be. The 324 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.000 ceasefire that we've seen between Israel and Hamas has at 325 00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:57.359 the very least resulted in some hostages being released. 326 00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:58.960 Yesterday was. 327 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:04.359 Very sad chapter in that because four dead hostages. The 328 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:11.440 bodies of those four hostages were released, but it didn't 329 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:16.400 go as planned. Talked yesterday about how Hamas was parading 330 00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:20.640 these flag draped not flag draped, a cloth, black cloth 331 00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:28.079 draped coffins that were apparently locked, and when they were 332 00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:30.920 finally handed over to the Red Cross, the Red Cross 333 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.920 hands them over to the Israeli Defense Forces. The IDF 334 00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:39.720 then does forensic tests, autopsy basically on the remains of 335 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:46.279 those four people. Two of them were Aril and Kafir Bibas, 336 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:49.960 the youngest of the hostages that were taken back on 337 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.559 October seventh of twenty twenty three, and Hamas had said 338 00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:57.039 that they died in an Israeli air strike. Now we've 339 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:00.640 talked with ABC's Jordana Miller. She filed this report from Jerusalem. 340 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.920 Terris and Gaza murdered quote with their bare hands, nine 341 00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.519 month old fear Bibus and his four year old brother Aril. 342 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:13.000 Those are the gruesome results from Israel's National forensic institute 343 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:16.160 that identified and did autopsies on the bodies of the 344 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:20.559 young Israeli hostages. It's another painful blow for the Bebas 345 00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:25.319 family and Israeli's at large after Hamas failed on Thursday 346 00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.440 to return the body of the children's mother, Shiri, handing 347 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.319 over instead the body of a Gazen woman Jordana Miller, 348 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:35.000 ABC News Jerusalem. 349 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:38.440 So it's hard to figure out what is true, what 350 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:42.079 is not true, what's going on back there. Benjamin Etna 351 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.359 who recorded a speech to the Israeli people and said, 352 00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.839 may God avenge their blood and we will also have 353 00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:53.480 our vengeance. Now, a lot of people in Israel if 354 00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:57.640 those allegations are true, that these kids were literally killed 355 00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:02.000 by Hamas, not by an Israeli strike. If that is 356 00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:07.680 not the body of Shiri Bibas, their mother, people want 357 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.319 Hamas wiped off the face of the earth. 358 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:11.759 Enough. 359 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:16.720 Toylie Bennett, a former Prime minister, said that the treatment 360 00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:19.799 of that family, the Bebas family, shows the majority of 361 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:25.039 Gozen's want to murder all of the Israelis, and for 362 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.720 some of the people who live in Israel, they have said, 363 00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:31.559 this is exactly why we need to not stop this war. 364 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.559 They don't like the ceasefire. Now. 365 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.039 The ceasefire itself is supposed to end early in March, 366 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:39.480 and when that happens, at least the way it's gone 367 00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:42.599 in the past, is Israel picks up right where they 368 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:51.200 left off and blows up things and breaks things. Buzzel 369 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:55.079 Schmotrich is a far right finance minister in Israel and 370 00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:58.559 said the only solution is the destruction of Hamas and 371 00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:03.200 this must not be postponed. There are voices that are 372 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.799 calling for calm that the fate of the family. The 373 00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:10.720 Bebas family exemplified why they need to extend the ceasefire 374 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.640 to bring home the seventy hostages that are still there 375 00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:20.559 and in some cases dead. Hamas said in a statement 376 00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:24.599 it's investigating the claims that that wasn't Shiri Bibas's body 377 00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:29.480 and said that they may have mistakenly confused her body 378 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:32.720 for that of a dead Palestinian woman in the aftermath 379 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.759 of the bombing that they said took place late in 380 00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:39.839 twenty twenty three. That they've been sitting on these bodies 381 00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:44.680 literally for well over a year before they return them. 382 00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:47.799 Nobody has been able to verify the accounts of either 383 00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:51.079 side of them of either side here, whether in fact 384 00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:54.319 it was a mistaken Palestinian woman, if it was a 385 00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:56.839 game that was being played by Hamas, if this was 386 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.359 something that Israel is saying simply to stoke up anger, whatever, 387 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.240 We just there's really no way to independently verify that. 388 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:08.079 While that was going on, three buses exploded near Tel Aviv, 389 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:11.519 and what Israeli police said was a suspected coordinated terror attack. 390 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:16.039 The buses where the bombs exploded were empty. They were 391 00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:19.559 in separate parking lots about five hundred yards away from 392 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:23.240 each other. No injuries reported from the explosions. 393 00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:23.599 They said. 394 00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:27.599 Another bomb is also found undetonated on a fourth bus. 395 00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:32.000 The explosive devices, they said, resembled bombs that Israeli police 396 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.799 have seen throughout the West Bank. One person has been arrested, 397 00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:37.200 but they haven't given a whole lot of other details. 398 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:39.160 There was a note on one of the bombs that 399 00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:45.240 said revenge revenge against the tul Karm camp, referring to 400 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:47.880 one of the Israeli operations in the West Bank last week. 401 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:51.839
