We're gonna check in with ABC's Jim 45 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.400 Ryan get the latest on that. Let's get started with 46 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.599 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 47 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.800 four hour newsroom. A man has been arrested in Victorville 48 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.280 for allegedly leading sheriff's deputies on a chase during which 49 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:59.159 one deputy was killed. Deputy Hector Kuavos Junior died yesterday 50 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:03.039 when his patrol vehicle slammed into another car and basically 51 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.400 was torn in half. Sheriff Shannondikas hiss Gwaves had been 52 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:07.599 a deputy for six years. 53 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.240 Hector is the type of law enforcement officer that we 54 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:16.680 all want to be. He was a grand and great 55 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.879 protector and a great. 56 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.240 Father, Bekas says.

A metal 59 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.759 recycling business next to a high school in Watts has 60 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.000 been ordered to shut down. 61 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.680 On Monday, a judge ordered S and W Atlas Iron 62 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.800 and Metal Company to stop receiving and processing new metals. 63 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.759 The business is accused of polluting the adjacent Jordan High 64 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.000 School and the surrounding neighborhood. The Los Angeles Unified School 65 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.199 Districts says students have been exposed to sharp metal projectiles, 66 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.319 debris and metallic dust, and other objects launched from or 67 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.479 omitting from the property. 68 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.400 Kfi's Daniel Martindale says the high school was also affected 69 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.800 by an explosion at the facility last summer. The owners 70 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.800 of the recycling business are facing felony charges. Crime stats 71 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.759 in LA are trending in a better direction. 72 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.520 The stats presented by the mayor and LAPD show a 73 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.800 decrease in violent crimes just about across the board. LAPD 74 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.360 Chief Jim McDonald says the city saw two hundred and 75 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.360 fifty five fewer murders in twenty twenty four compared to 76 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.920 the year before. That's a fourteen percent decrease and as 77 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.639 partly thanks to targeted enforcement and community led intervention programs. 78 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.920 Robberies stayed about the same, but everything else, including burglaries, rape, 79 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.279 and car theft saw decline. Michael Monks KFI News. 80 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:41.720 Sony is suing USC over videos on Instagram and TikTok 81 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:46.240 that promote the school's sports teams. Kfi's Tammy Trujillo says 82 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.800 Sony claims more than one hundred and seventy songs in 83 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.680 the videos were used without permission, thus violating Sony's copyright 84 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.160 on those songs. The laws it was filed in New 85 00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.439 York Federal cord and says USC never licensed the songs 86 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:02.480 by Michael Jackson, Britney spe and ac DC. USC says 87 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.480 it respects the intellectual property rights of others and will 88 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.120 respond in court. While we're waiting for Stephen, we're having 89 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.680 a connection issue. Will ask me about this rock. And 90 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:14.879 I got to tell you yesterday I got a package 91 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.120 sitting on my desk and it weighs. It weighs like 92 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.040 twenty pounds. It's a very special rock. It's a kindness rock. 93 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:22.839 And now I have to put you on hold with 94 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.639 that thought because now we do have Steven Portnoy. So 95 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.560 I'm going to tell you about my rock. It's actually 96 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:34.000 very cool. ABC. Stephen Portnoy, Good morning. Trump lawyers went 97 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.720 before a judge who ordered the administration to stop deporting 98 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.519 illegal immigrants. What's the latest on this. 99 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.800 The latest is the judge has questions that were not 100 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:50.439 answered yesterday by the Trump administration's attorney. And the Trump 101 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.600 administration lawyer said, well, because of operational issues and national 102 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.879 security concerns and diplomatic concerns, your honor, I'm not able 103 00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.879 to answer your questions. And the judge said, wow, is 104 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:06.279 it classified? And the attorney said, well, because we deal 105 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.079 with classified material all the time in this courthouse. So 106 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.560 let's go down to the skiff, or you can bring 107 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.839 it to my office. But I have these questions, the 108 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:19.079 judge said, And the Justice Department's lawyer said, well, hamaa haamana. 109 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.759 And so the judge has demanded something in writing from 110 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:26.160 the Justice Department by noon Eastern time today. This has 111 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.360 to do, of course, with the president's invocation of the 112 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.000 Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight, which says, at 113 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.279 a time of war or invasion by a foreign country, 114 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.360 the United States can deport nationals of that country without 115 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.920 due process, swiftly deport them. This dates back to seventeen 116 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.839 ninety eight. It's only been invoked three times. War of 117 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.199 eighteen twelve world War one, world War two, not since 118 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.839 until now. President Trump argues that the Venezuelan gang trend 119 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.399 de Arragua poses a national security threat to the United States, 120 00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.560 that its members are the worst of the worst, bad 121 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:03.279 own break, as he called them the other day, described 122 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.920 as rapists and other criminals. Now, the reason this is 123 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.680 in court is because the ACLU and migrant writes advocates 124 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.879 say that some people have been swept up in this, 125 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.360 that some people who may have gang tattoos are not 126 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.000 actually members of the gang, and they should have the 127 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.680 right to demonstrate that in court. And the judge who 128 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:22.680 was presented with this last weekend said, you know what, 129 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:24.959 you might have a point. Let's bring those planes back 130 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.360 and let's dig into this deeper. He didn't make a 131 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.040 final ruling, but he did say that this should be 132 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:34.279 put on ice, to use a phrase, And the White 133 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:40.680 House basically said, well, all right, you know, sorry, your honor, 134 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.959 the planes have already left us airspace and they landed, 135 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:45.959 and in the words of the President of El Salvador, 136 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:51.240 oopsie too late. And the judge is not happy, and 137 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:55.839 he wants to know why his verbal directive was not regarded, 138 00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:01.160 not followed, and the Justice Department's attorney said, well, again, 139 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.120 your honor, there are diplomatic concerns. Is a fast moving case, 140 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.600 and you know, the executive and all this, and it 141 00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.199 really gets the question of whether this administration believes that 142 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.920 the court's have anything to say about all this, and 143 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.000 there seems to be a disconnect on that point. 144 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.120 Okay, And we understand, Stephen. Things got a little heated 145 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.399 yesterday too, I mean understandably if they're not answering the 146 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:21.839 questions that the judge is posing. 147 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.000 I would describe it as tense, okay, where the judge, 148 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.800 you know, really tried to get the Justice Department's lawyer 149 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.799 to explain the actual rationale, the legal rationale for why 150 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.720 the administration's taking the position that it is pointing out 151 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:37.799 that you know, there is and I don't want to 152 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.120 get too deep into this, but this idea that you know, 153 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.120 doesn't matter whether the planes have already crossed US airspace. 154 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:44.919 The judge doesn't seem to think. So he says he 155 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.399 has equitable powers that don't stop at the water's edge, 156 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:51.840 and that the attorney should know that. And the lawyer said, well, yes, 157 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.080 but and so there's a lot of that. Let's see 158 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.320 how it plays out today. 159 00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.000 Okay, So the deadline is noon Eastern for the judge. 160 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.240 Just a lawyer Justice Department lawyers to answer the judge. 161 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:06.000 We'll see if they. 162 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.679 Do that's right, and then we'll see what the next 163 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.440 steps are. But the administration is appealing this beyond that. 164 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.960 So this is a lengthy process that'll probably play out 165 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.960 over the next several months, but certainly a tense hearing yesterday, 166 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:17.919 and the judge is not happy. 167 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:21.000 Okay, ABC. Stephen Portnoy, thank you so much, appreciate it. 168 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.960 As always be time to tell you about the rock. 169 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:27.279 So I get a package in the mail. It's sitting 170 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.639 on my desk yesterday and I'm like, oh, it's always 171 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:31.600 fun to get a package, right, as long as it's 172 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.639 not ticking right. Well, the thing weighs like five pounds. 173 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.120 I'm like, what is this and who is it from? 174 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:42.519 So I open it up cautiously and it's this rock 175 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.480 and it has a picture of Winnie the Pooh and 176 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:49.559 Tigger on it that has been painted on it. And 177 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.759 it's from Robert known as mister Amazing. It's even signed 178 00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:57.639 by mister Amazing. He said. He I enclosed a painted 179 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.480 rock of Tigger and Pooh. It's titled today My new 180 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:04.759 Favorite Day. And Robert is an early riser listens to 181 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.799 Wake Up Call, which we always appreciate. He says, it's 182 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.039 his time of the morning for a little peace and quiet, 183 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.000 to listen to KFI, have a little caffeine, and occasionally 184 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.879 occasionally do some painting.

Robert. 198 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.399 You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI 199 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.480 AM six forty. 200 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.559 We're going to switch things up a little bit because 201 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:12.360 live from Tokyo. We have a klac AM five seventies 202 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.840 David Ves. Good morning, David. 203 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.759 Well, good evening, Amy, Because it is the night over here. 204 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.000 We are a day ahead, as you know, and it's 205 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.480 the bottom of the eighth inning and the Dodgers are 206 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.000 beating the Cubs right now, three to one on opening 207 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:34.480 nights for Major League Baseball, and shoh Otani collected his 208 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:38.480 first hit of the season, thrilling this crowd fifty five 209 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.480 thousand plus sell out here at the Tokyo Dome. 210 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.600 So tell us what's the vibe, David, What does it 211 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.559 feel like? Because we know what it feels like in 212 00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:52.559 baseball in America. But is it the same here or 213 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:53.279 is it different? 214 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:54.840 Oh? 215 00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:00.559 Completely different, Amy, It's surreal. They're Japanese baseball san fifty 216 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:04.279 five thousand plus packed in here are the most polite 217 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.240 crowd you will ever find. It was, you know, they 218 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.759 just sit in silence until something happens. It's a big 219 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.080 contrast from what we're used to. Just hit it right now, 220 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.720 for the Cubs got hit by a pitch by a 221 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.799 fastball from Blake Tryin and with one out in the 222 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.200 bottom of the eighth inning, that's the reaction you heard, 223 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.440 but yeah, usually as you could hear, there's fifty five 224 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:31.000 thousand people in a dome and they are completely silent. 225 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.559 So it's not what I expect you. 226 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:38.200 It's got to be a nice change because the fans. 227 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.600 I always like to say that we're nice and respectful, 228 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:42.840 but in reality, a lot of times we're not. 229 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.120 Yeah, for sure, I mean you're not going to see 230 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:50.360 any fights inside the Tokyo Dome. I can guarantee that 231 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:54.120 by the Japanese fans here. But there are so many 232 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.799 people from La Amy that have found a way to 233 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.799 get a thicket here. They started to flood the street 234 00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:04.120 with Tokyo. I noticed the last forty hours. So there's 235 00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:08.279 a lot of Dodger fans here. And they're not only 236 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.720 Dodgers fans from la but the Dodgers' goal when they 237 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:17.120 signed Otani and also Yoshiyamamoto who started tonight to paint 238 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:21.960 Tokyo blue. That's their words, and they have succeeded. The 239 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:27.120 Dodgers are a international brand and Tokyo is the Dodgers. 240 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:28.840 Dodgers are Tokyo's team. 241 00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.240 I love it just gives me a little chills And 242 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.759 tell us, David Messe, what how do the players feel 243 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.799 about the reception that they're getting in Tokyo. 244 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.960 No, they're loving it. They you know, they get recognized 245 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.759 more on the streets of Tokyo than they do sometimes 246 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:46.639 in La I've noticed. So they're loving the reception they're getting. 247 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.440 They they have felt the passion of the fans, and 248 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:55.639 obviously they've witnessed for themselves just how popular Sho hey 249 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:57.879 Otani is in his native country. 250 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.000 Oh yeah, gosh I bet so. So what's your favorite 251 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:02.039 thing about Japan so far? 252 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.960 The people. I love the people. They make this country. 253 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.600 You could talk about the food, you could talk about 254 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:13.559 the planliness, but it's the respect for their country and 255 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:17.399 for their fellow man that really has impressed me here. 256 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.039 I love that. Davids, I know you're super busy. You 257 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:21.759 got to get down onto the field and go talk 258 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.840 to players because the game is almost over. Hopefully we're 259 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.519 going to have a w for the Dodgers. Thank you 260 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.320 so much for calling us from the Tokyo Dome. Appreciate it, 261 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:31.120 my pleasure. 262 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:32.679 Amy, Okay, go. 263 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.799 Dodgers, Okay, we have just that was so fun. We 264 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.720 wanted to talk to David Vesa. We didn't know if 265 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:39.480 it was going to happen because you know, he's in 266 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.600 Japan and the Dodgers are playing and he's got a 267 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.399 job to do. But we appreciate that we also have 268 00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:47.759 ABC S Jordana Miller in Jerusalem who has a job 269 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:49.960 to do, and that is to tell us what is 270 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.759 going on. We thought a ceasefire was in place, thought 271 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.440 it was holding, and then yesterday that all changed. 272 00:14:55.960 --> 00:15:01.480 That's right, can the seasfire is now finished, it's shattered. 273 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.759 The Israeli Prime Minister decided overnight to launch a surprise 274 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:12.200 aerial strike on Gaza, very intense strikes from the north 275 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:17.879 to the center to southern Gaza, hitting Hamas leaders, hitting 276 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:25.840 a weapon depots, hitting alleged training centers, and really trying 277 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.720 to set Hamas back. 278 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:30.480 Because the Israelis had. 279 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:34.960 Said that Hamas was trying to regroup and possibly try 280 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.519 to relaunch strikes or an attack on Israel. The Prime 281 00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:43.720 Minister and a statement said that Hamas was refusing to 282 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.440 release hostages, that Hamas had rejected US offers to extend 283 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.960 the ceasefire, and that was the reason that the Israeli 284 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:57.039 Army has gone back to a very intense military operation. 285 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.639 Right now, it's only an aerial operation just a short 286 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.840 while ago we got noticed that there's another wave of 287 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:10.639 strikes now underway in Gaza. More than four hundred people 288 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:16.080 have been killed. And the question is whether Hamas will 289 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:21.159 actually come back to the negotiating table and this pressure tactic, 290 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.200 military pressure will work or not. 291 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.360 Okay, and Jordana, you said it was a surprise attack 292 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.919 and they hit areas. Were they able to find areas 293 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:32.600 during the ground assault that they said here this is 294 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.240 that and now when if we do go back in, 295 00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:36.600 we know where to target. 296 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:37.120 Well. 297 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:40.919 I think part of the reason that this was actually 298 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:46.440 such a well kept secret was because if Hamas knew 299 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.480 that the Israelis were going to strike certain spots in 300 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:53.600 the Gaza Strip, they might move the hostages. Right, there's 301 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:58.399 still fifty eight hostages, twenty four considered alive or hoped 302 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.440 estimated to be alive. So Israel more or less knows 303 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:06.720 where they're being held, given the testimony of hostages who 304 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.279 came out of the Goza Strip during this the ceasefire, 305 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:15.920 so you know, Israel hit certain areas that it felt 306 00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:19.920 were you know, unconnected to the hostages. But of course 307 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.519 the families here are gutted and angry and fear that 308 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:27.279 these operations will endanger the lives of their loved ones. 309 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:31.720 Yeah, it's just it's such a horrible, it's horrible and 310 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.000 in every way, but something has to give and maybe 311 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:38.400 this is what Israel hopes. We'll make hamas you know, 312 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.240 cave on this. So we will watch it and appreciate 313 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.160 your information. Jardana Miller, thanks for hanging on for us, 314 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:46.880 and we'll talk to you soon. 315 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:48.400 Thanks so much, Amy uk soon. 316 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:48.960 Thank you. 317 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.599 You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI 318 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:53.680 AM six forty. 319 00:17:53.880 --> 00:18:06.319 Let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan, homecoming nine 320 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:11.880 months in the making. Jim Ryan, how is it going 321 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:12.880 the return trip? 322 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:18.880 It's going the right on schedule, right to plan. Butch 323 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:23.400 Wilmore and Sonny Williams are aboard that SpaceX Dragon spacecraft 324 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.799 at this moment. They undocked early early this morning, several 325 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:31.039 hours ago, six hours ago now and began the trip 326 00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:33.799 back to the back to Earth. You know what they're 327 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.400 doing at this very moment, Amy, what you think that 328 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:39.000 the running experiments. They're looking out the window, they're checking 329 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:42.839 things out, maybe taking pictures. Now they're sleeping, sleeping, they're asleep, 330 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:43.400 that's right. 331 00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:46.480 They want to get one last one, last nap in space, 332 00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:49.359 which I hear sleeping in space is like the best 333 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:50.119 thing ever. 334 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:54.480 I can imagine. Just yeah, But so that's what's going 335 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:58.359 on right now. But they'll wake up here before too long. 336 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:04.559 There was a rocket firing here just after they undocked 337 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:06.559 from the space station. There'll be another one in a 338 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:09.039 few hours to get them down into a lower orbit, 339 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.720 and then they'll hit the opera atmosphere doing many, many 340 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.480 times the speed of sound. They'll be slowed and then 341 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.480 dropped down on parachutes into the Gulf they just off 342 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.160 of Florida, and they'll be picked up there in the 343 00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:22.079 oceanics afternoon. 344 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.839 What do we know what time they're supposed touch down 345 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:26.440 splash down? 346 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.119 Fifty seven Eastern time? Five to fifty seven Eastern time, Yes, okay, 347 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:35.119 so there be four three, Yeah, so'd be watching for 348 00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.119 that to fifty seven this afternoon. 349 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:42.119 Absolutely. So when they get home, obviously they get picked 350 00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.759 up and then they immediately go where. 351 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.160 Well they go into they're brought back to Houston to 352 00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:53.079 the Johnson Space Center and they'll be in quarantine for 353 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:56.160 for a while. These two are not kids. Williams and 354 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.160 Whitmore are right around sixty years old, each of them, 355 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:01.960 and so so you know, they've been doing two hours 356 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.359 of exercise every day aboard the ISS. That's what all 357 00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:09.519 the astronauts, cosmonauts and other folks working on the ISS do. 358 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:11.480 They spend a couple of hours that they trying to 359 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:14.880 keep themselves in some kind of shape. But they'll go 360 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.839 through weeks, maybe months of rehab and physical therapy is 361 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:21.400 to get used to gravity again. I mean, they've been 362 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.079 in weightlessness for nine months, and so I mean, if 363 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:27.240 you've ever seen, if you've seen pictures of these two 364 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.119 they're aboard the ISS, Sunny Williams's hair is all over 365 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.599 the place, this huge mane of hair because it's weightless 366 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.759 and it's just kind of floating around there. Imagine that 367 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:39.799 their bodies are going through the same thing. My understanding, 368 00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:42.119 and I just read this recently, is that their vision 369 00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:44.880 could be a problem. That's part of what NASA is 370 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.279 studying with all of this is the long term effects 371 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:50.559 of being in space on your vision because your eye, 372 00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:54.759 your eyeball is under pressure from the inside, right, and 373 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:57.440 so in weightlessness and without that pressure, it's kind of 374 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:00.640 pushing against nothing and that changes the shape of your eye. 375 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.759 Is it permanent. Certainly, Williamson and Whitmore are hoping it isn't, 376 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:07.359 but you know, we'll see what happens well. 377 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:08.920 And it would be tough if if all of a 378 00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:11.279 sudden your vision started to go bad while you were 379 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.759 up there. It's not like you can just go to 380 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:13.400 an eye doctor. 381 00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.359 No, no, and you just hope that it's a it's 382 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.559 a small enough variation that maybe the readers that you 383 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.960 brought with you will work okay. But so that's one 384 00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:27.200 thing that's that's going to be studied with this. So 385 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:32.400 beyond besides doing experiments up there that companies and NASA 386 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.920 and others are, universities have them doing their their own 387 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:41.200 bodies are a laboratory as well. Right they're being monitored, 388 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.319 they're breathing their food, everything is being monitored. All of 389 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.839 that research being put to use for future missions people 390 00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:52.079 going to the Moon or going to Mars or going beyond. 391 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:55.799 They'll take what they learned from from Butch Wilmore and 392 00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:57.079 Sunny Williams. 393 00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:59.079 It'll be interesting to see too, because I know you 394 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:01.680 said they go into corequarantine. And hopefully we'll get to 395 00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:03.559 ask Colonel Haig about this when we talk to him 396 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.240 again at Colonel Haigue is of course coming back bringing 397 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:10.599 them back to Earth. They're in quarantine. I wonder if 398 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:14.640 that's because they haven't been exposed to anything for a 399 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.720 long period of time. And you know how if you're 400 00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:20.440 not exposed to germs, you become more susceptible to germs. 401 00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:22.960
