I was amazed when we were talking 20 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:28.879 to Jim Ryan yesterday. I was talking about how many 21 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.280 millions of people put off doing their taxes until the 22 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.599 last second. Of course, we have that six month extension 23 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.640 in La County. But as I mentioned, I at least 24 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.040 got mine done. I don't know how the damage is, 25 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:42.879 but I at least got them done so that it's 26 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:44.400 off my plate and I don't have to worry about 27 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.959 it for the next six months. Got a lot happening 28 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.640 on wake up call today, so let's get right to it. 29 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.719 Here's what's ahead. LA twenty eight has confirmed more sites 30 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.920 for the twenty twenty eight Summer Games. Dodger Stadium is 31 00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.799 going to host baseball events. I mean, come on, where 32 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.640 else which you host those? Boxing is going to be 33 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.280 at the Peacock Theater. Incrypto dot Com Arena. Long Beach 34 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:10.199 will host eleven events, including beach volleyball, water polo, and 35 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:14.719 coastal rowing. Squash makes its Olympic debut. It'll be held 36 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:20.439 at the Universal Studios Lot. The LA Board of Supervisors. 37 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.319 The County Board of Supervisors has given initial approval to 38 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.080 a nearly forty eight billion dollar budget proposal for the 39 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.280 twenty five twenty six fiscal year. The recommended spending plan 40 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.280 includes three percent cuts to some departments and the elimination 41 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.400 of more than three hundred vacant positions, but no layoffs. 42 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.840 A federal judge says she will order sworn testimony by 43 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:46.439 Trump administration officials to determine if the administration complied with 44 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.960 her orders to facilitate the return of Ki Abrego Garcia, 45 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.319 he was mistakenly caught up in an ice sweep and 46 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.199 deported to El Salvador. We'll get the latest on this 47 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.639 one with ABC Stephen Portnoy. That's coming up at the 48 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.919 bottom of the hour at five point fifty. As properties 49 00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.599 are cleared and people in Altadena get down to the 50 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.759 business of rebuilding their homes and their lives, the Dodgers 51 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.479 Foundation has quietly pitched in to help bring Little League 52 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.960 back to the city. We're gonna be talking to somebody 53 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.000 about that at again at five point fifty. Amy's on it, 54 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.599 and this week I'm on a movie that was a 55 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.439 hit at the box office, but when compared to the original, 56 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.400 this one was really a miss for me. That's coming 57 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.840 up at five twenty. Let's get started with some of 58 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.319 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 59 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.639 La County's budget challenges may be affecting some government programs. 60 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.879 The proposed budget for the new fiscal year is one 61 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.639 point three billion dollars less than the current one. In 62 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.240 County CEO Fecia Davenport tells the Board of Supervisors that's 63 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.560 just the beginning of the problems we are facing. 64 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:53.719 Mounting budgetary pressures that, taken together, have the potential to 65 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.360 seriously destabilize the county's budget. 66 00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.319 She says two billion dollars in wildfire recovery cost and 67 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.120 a four bill billion dollar sex abuse settlement will hurt 68 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:05.400 for years to come. No layoffs are planned, but Davenport 69 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.199 says some programs could have fewer resources. Michael Monks KFI News. 70 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.719 New is brought to you by American Vision Windows. Speaking 71 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.240 of sex abuse and assault. Former Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauers 72 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.399 asking for more than three hundred thousand dollars in a 73 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.519 default judgment against a woman who accused him of sexual assault. 74 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.279 He says she breached the terms of an agreement they 75 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.680 reached in twenty twenty three to settle their lawsuits. Bowers 76 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.879 complaint contends Lindsey Hill falsely stated twenty two times, mostly 77 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.600 on social media, that she got money from him as 78 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.000 part of the deal. Nearly a third of all fires 79 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.399 in LA in the past six years have involved homeless people. 80 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.879 That is, according to a new memo from interim Los 81 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.000 Angeles Fire Department chief Ronnie Viennaweva The LAFD Commission was 82 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.759 supposed to discuss the memo on Tuesday, but it is 83 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.720 now delaying the discussion to next month. The memo also 84 00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.879 says that in the past decade, trash fires were rubbish 85 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.720 have increased by four hundred and seventy five percent. LIFD 86 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.319 data shows close to half of all trash fires also 87 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.279 involve homeless people. I'm Daniel Martindale. 88 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:15.040 Shocking. I think we already all knew this interesting that 89 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:16.839 officials are finally acknowledging it. 90 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:17.680 Yeah. 91 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.160 TV memorabilia lovers are in for a treat next month. 92 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.480 You can bid on things from some of TV's most 93 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.800 iconic moments, including the body suit worn by Linda Carter 94 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.079 as Wonder Woman, the original barstools and bar front door 95 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.360 from Cheers, and the living room sofas from Roseanne and 96 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:37.160 Fraser Julian's auctions as.

Right now, let's say good 101 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:52.199 morning too. ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, I remember the 102 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:56.199 first time that I really heard about autism. It was 103 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.360 super rare, like I'd never even heard of it. And 104 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.639 there was a sho I oh about a child who 105 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.120 had this disease and a mother who worked with him 106 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.160 every single day and was somehow able to break through 107 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.879 to him. It was a docudrama. And I mean, this 108 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.759 is when when I was a young child, and it's 109 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.560 called Sunrise, a miracle of love. Story had a happy ending, 110 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.120 right sure, But that was when it was super rare. 111 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.279 But now almost everybody I know knows somebody or has 112 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:26.199 a kid who has. 113 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.000 It right right, or has I have a close close 114 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.639 relatives a relative who has autism and was diagnosed in 115 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.160 the nineteen sixties, back when practically nobody knew about it, 116 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.600 And back then the thinking was that about one in 117 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.079 ten thousand kids had autism. They had the know any 118 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:49.720 social behavior or the closed off personality, no eye contact, 119 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.040 you know, these sorts of things that we associate now 120 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.439 with autism. One in ten thousand. But the thinking now 121 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.399 is that the number is probably closer to one in 122 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.839 thirty one, one thousand, but thirty one. The centered sort 123 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.720 of disease Control and Prevention released those statistics yesterday, just 124 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.800 five years ago. In twenty twenty, the number was one 125 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.839 in thirty six. Now it we're one thirty one. Now, 126 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.120 certainly does that mean that there there's this much greater 127 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.319 prevalence of autism or is it better diagnosis, recognition of 128 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.639 the illness and of the of the of this disorder. 129 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:24.600 Probably a little bit of. 130 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:30.079 Each, Okay, but we still don't The thing about this 131 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.720 one is we still don't know what causes it. 132 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.600 Yeah, yeah, it's a mystery. There is thinking that there 133 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.480 may be an environmental component, but certainly that there's a 134 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:44.519 genetic component and so yeah, and the thing is, you 135 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.000 can't do a blood test for it. You can't do 136 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.000 it DNA testing something like that to determine whether your 137 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:53.120 child has autism or it's just not like that. It's 138 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.959 a matter of observation. And physicians, as good as they 139 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.240 are at their jobs, still there there's objectivity there that 140 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.439 they put into it. They put their own frame over 141 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.519 this diagnosis that they're making. So you know, it's it's 142 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:11.120 really a tough and mysterious kind of thing for science 143 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:11.759 to figure out. 144 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.120 Interesting if you said that it's up to the doctors 145 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.920 to really watch it and diagnose it, because there's no 146 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:22.120 medical markers or something which could lead to misdiagnosis too. 147 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.639 I mean, maybe your kid just is kind of scatter 148 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.600 brained or you know, doesn't like people. 149 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:32.200 Right, right, And so there may be and so people 150 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.559 who are on that spectrum or on that range of 151 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.720 disorders may be diagnosed with something else, or some people 152 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.559 with something else might be diagnosed as being on the 153 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.360 autism spectrum, and that too has complicated this entire process. 154 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.679 Robert F. Kennedy, Junior, the Health and Human Services Secretary, 155 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.120 has said that he wants to get to the bottom 156 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.399 of it by September. 157 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.840 That's kind of that's a very ambitious goal since people 158 00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.960 have been working on it and watching it for years 159 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:00.840 and years and watching it get worse and worse, and 160 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.960 we still, like you just said, we don't know what's 161 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:07.559 causing it or don't have even markers, you know, medical 162 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.360 conditions for it. 163 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.960 So he's looking May June, July August said five months. 164 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.720 You know, they've been working on trying to figure this 165 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.000 out for the last five decades. So we'll see if 166 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.799 a RFKN company can come up with something. 167 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.240 Yeah, all right, rather ambitious goal. And before we go, 168 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.960 just the one I mentioned, Sunrise is the one that 169 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.159 really brought my mind to awareness of this. But I 170 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.440 think the one that really kind of hit the mainstream, 171 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.600 or made it hit mainstream was rain Man. 172 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:41.600 Sure, yes, and the relative I have his behavior is 173 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.440 very much like that. But he's almost seventy years old, now, married, happy, 174 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:51.279 employed and doing great. So this is not a sentence 175 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:55.600 of a life of gloom. People with this disorder, depending 176 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.879 upon the severity, can be quite happy. 177 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.480 All right. ABC's Jim Ryan, thanks so much for the information. 178 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:04.200 We'll talk again in September and see if RFK actually 179 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:05.799 finds what is causing it. 180 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.240 Fingers crossed. Everybody wants to know. 181 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.320 I know, right, all right, Thanks Jim. Let's get back 182 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:12.759 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 183 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.080 twenty four hour newsroom. A person has been taken into 184 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.600 custody in connection with a shooting at a high school 185 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:22.879 in Dallas.

A third marine is in 235 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.039 critical condition following the accident yesterday morning. They are among 236 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.919 more than ten thousand active duty troops deployed to the 237 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:25.080 border as part of President Trump's Border protection mission.

During a court hearing 241 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.240 last week. The attorney, who's representing twenty family members says 242 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:44.080 the entire DA's office owes the family in apology. Thirteen 243 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:48.320 percent more people viewed the season two premiere of The 244 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.240 Last of Us. I'm one of Them, then watched the 245 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.840 show's first episode. The new season dropped on Sunday. Five 246 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:57.720 point three million people have watched it. The show's already 247 00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:01.879 been renewed for a third season. New episodes are available 248 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.279 on Sunday nights. 249 00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:11.600 Aamie's on It Damie's on it, Aami's on it, Damie's 250 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:12.000 on it. 251 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.639 What am I on? Well, I'm on the stream. I'm 252 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:21.240 on movies, TV shows, documentaries, you name it. Part of 253 00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.799 the reason is because there's so much content out there, 254 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:25.360 it's hard to make a decision on what you're going 255 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.960 to invest your time in. So I take recommendations from 256 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.480 people and then I give it recommendations to you and 257 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.799 either get you hooked up with a really great show 258 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.480 or maybe save you a couple of hours if it's 259 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.240 not a great show. Okay, So what I'm on this 260 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:52.399 week is Disney's Moufasa hit at the box office huge, 261 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.679 so and I didn't go see it. I waited until 262 00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.559 it came out on the stream. That's the beauty. If 263 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.200 you don't want to sit in a movie theater, it's 264 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.519 eventually going to come out. So now it's on Disney Plus. 265 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:07.320 It's the story of how Mufasa from The Lion King 266 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.960 becomes king and how Scar, his brother, comes to be 267 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:16.600 and also becomes an outcast. Okay, so this is again 268 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.440 a live action movie. Both are CG. But I'm going 269 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.159 to tell you that the CG animation in The Lion King, 270 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:27.799 which was the quote live action of the Lion King 271 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:29.759 animated movie that came out a couple of years ago 272 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:33.440 is better for some reason, I don't know. I don't 273 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:36.279 know what they're doing differently. But in The Lion King, 274 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:40.120 the original live action movie, which of course is cg, 275 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.879 it was more realistic, like I believed it more. I 276 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.879 don't know why. I mean, it's still amazing, but it's 277 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.679 less believable. And then the music from The Lion King, 278 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:53.840 like you've got Circle of Life. It's going in the 279 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:58.039 background right now. The music in The Lion King is amazing. 280 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:01.919 The songs are powerful, they're memorable. The animated Lion King 281 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:03.720 is one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. 282 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:08.279 It was just spectacular. The music for the original animated 283 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.840 movie was composed by Elton John with Tim Rice. The 284 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:17.960 score was composed by Hans zimmer And in collaboration with 285 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.759 the South African composer Libo m So. In Mufasa, Lynn 286 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.440 Manuel Miranda did several of the songs and he's awesome, right, 287 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:33.519 But the songs in Mufassa are just nothing, nothing compared 288 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.799 to The Lion King. In my humble opinion, the story 289 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:41.399 is good, it's clever, it's more charming, you know, in 290 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.799 the original. The music, as I mentioned, is far superior 291 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.559 in The Lion King as opposed to Mufasa. I get 292 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:49.639 that there would be a desire to capitalize on the 293 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:51.399 success of The Lion King, but if you're going to 294 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:56.600 do it, do it better. Mufasa doesn't have any memorable songs. 295 00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.960 Of course, the Lion King songs are fun, catchy, memorable. 296 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.599 We heard Houkuna Matata that Cono played as we were 297 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:08.000 getting into this segment. The animation is amazing, but again, 298 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.519 it's not as good or believable as in The Lion King. 299 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:13.200 So whether you watch it or don't, watch it as 300 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:17.079 a standalone, it's an interesting movie. It's an interesting story, 301 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:20.160 and I always love stories that tell backstories to figure 302 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.559 out why people are the way they are. But when 303 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.480 you compare the songs, the animation, the story to the 304 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.799 actual Lion King, it just falls short. I love Disney. 305 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.920 I'm a huge Disney fan, as you know, but I 306 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.759 think they could have done better. And that's what I 307 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:39.640 have to say about Mufasa. I'm on it, I was 308 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:42.200 on it. It's up to you. Really, I don't have 309 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:46.000 a strong recommendation on this I was disappointed. All right, 310 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.839 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 311 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.359 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The LA County 312 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:54.160 Board of Supervisors has approved emotion to restore funding for 313 00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:59.359 Transitional Age, Youth and Key homelessness prevention programs. That's a mouthful, 314 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.599 allowing weeks of back and forth. Supervisors are looking into 315 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.240 other ways to keep those programs running. In a report 316 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.160 presented earlier this month, the CEO suggested cuts to some 317 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.720 programs in the twenty twenty five twenty six Homeless Initiative 318 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:18.720 funding recommendations, which generated some backlash. The motion reinstates five 319 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:21.200 point six million dollars in funding to program for people 320 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.839 between the ages of sixteen and twenty five who are 321 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:28.319 at a higher risk of becoming homeless. A city in 322 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:32.400 northern California will soon have a safe sleeping site San 323 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.319 Jose mayor Matt Mayon says homeless people will be able 324 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.920 to stay in tents, have access to bathrooms, get three 325 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.319 meals a day, and receive city services. 326 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:42.319 Say here will be short. 327 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:47.039 Our goal is to stabilize folks, assess their needs, connect 328 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:50.400 them to case management, and help them move on to 329 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:51.960 a longer term setting. 330 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.200 Within thirty days. 331 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:55.960 Mayor Man says the site will be fenced and have 332 00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.359 around the clock security. It cost a million dollars to build, 333 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:01.920 it's going to cost two million dollars a year to operate. 334 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:05.400 Critics are questioning its effectiveness in helping those trying to 335 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:09.680 actually get off the street. An investigation report shows Gene 336 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:14.200 Hackman's wife had searched the Internet for flu like symptoms 337 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:18.240 and breathing techniques in the days before she died. She 338 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:21.599 died of hantavirus at the couple's home in New Mexico. 339 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:25.599 The rodent born disease can have flu like and respiratory 340 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.200 distress symptoms. Gene Hackman died about a week after his 341 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.920 wife of heart disease and complications from Alzheimer's.

At this time, the average price in California 351 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.839 is for eighty seven, and I zoom in on La 352 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.480 County for eighty six. On average in La County, you 353 00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:14.640 can look to the ladies for signs of recession. 354 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:16.559 Trends on social media could be a sign that an 355 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.599 economic downturn is coming or even. 356 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:19.759 Already here for the US. 357 00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:23.440 Recession blonde has been seen on TikTok and other places recently, 358 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:25.759 where you let your natural, darker roots grow out on 359 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:28.720 your hair to save money on touchups. A recession hair 360 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.119 trend was also seen after the financial crisis in two 361 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:33.400 thousand and eight, as women saved money and hair salons 362 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:36.559 suffered from cancelations.

So Gail King and who else 374 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.400 went up? Lauren Sanchez Lauren Sanchez Bezos's fiance, and Katy 375 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:15.240 Perry went up a couple of days ago, and like 376 00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.880 I said, amazing that they got to go. How lucky 377 00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:22.319 are they? That's wonderful. But my final thoughts are that 378 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.839 they keep insisting that this is this was an historic 379 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.759 thing that happened, is just still ticking me off. 380 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:30.480 Uh. 381 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.079 There was a lot of justifying being done. I was 382 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.160 watching TV shows yesterday, lots of justifying. Oh for those 383 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:39.799 who say that this wasn't an important mission, they just 384 00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:43.680 don't know. That means they're getting a massive back that 385 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:47.160 they are even addressing. It means that people are freaking out. 386 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:50.160 So it's not just me stuff in arms. People are 387 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.279 talking about it. Yeah, So here's what I wish. I 388 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:53.880 wish they would just say, you know what, you guys, 389 00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:57.279 this was an amazing opportunity. It was a great ride. 390 00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:59.640 Wish everybody could do it can't because it costs, you know, 391 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.359 millions of dollars dollars and just stop talking about the 392 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:08.000 historical significance. They were like, oh, what we did is 393 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:12.640 going to advance the space program. Well, here's what it was. 394 00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.400 It was a publicity stunt. Katy Perry announced her song 395 00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.839 list for her new tour on it, and good on her, 396 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:21.200 because think about next time you go to a Katy 397 00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.720 Perry show. I love Katy Perry. When you go to 398 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.079 her next show, she's going to have herself on the 399 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.640 JumboTron floating around in space. Sure, and the crowd's going 400 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:35.960 to go wild amazing, but let's let's be real. It 401 00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.480
