Speaker 1: coming up at five point twenty and wake Up Call
Speaker 1: went out and about to take a look at some
Speaker 1: pieces of Hollywood history and guess what they could be yours.

Speaker 1: so geeking out seeing all these really cool things that
Speaker 1: are going to be auctioned off. I got to see
Speaker 1: props from some of my favorite movies. We're going to
Speaker 1: tell you all about it, including Ghostbusters and Superman and
Speaker 1: Back to the Future and Star Wars. Really cool stuff
Speaker 1: that it's going up for auction. Not auction starts today.
Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. LA has taken
Speaker 1: a step toward keeping its homeless program spending exclusively at
Speaker 1: City Hall.
Speaker 6: The city Council's unanimous vote ask city staff to figure

Speaker 6: Recent audits have blasted LASA over its accounting practices and

Speaker 6: Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes is told county supervisors that
Speaker 1: state law is stopping ICE from being told about people
Speaker 1: being released from prison. Barnes says there were more than
Speaker 1: seven hundred ICE detainees requests last year, and some of
Speaker 1: the inmates ended up back on the streets committing crimes
Speaker 1: because of the law.
Speaker 8: The man from Mexico was arrested in the San La
Speaker 8: campastronic and possession of Meathan fata mean presenting a false
Speaker 8: idea to police on August twenty seven. He was re
Speaker 8: arrested again in San Ua Campistroana October twenty eighth for
Speaker 8: assault with a deadly weapon.
Speaker 1: Barnes said during his annual report on immigration enforcement that
Speaker 1: his department will not impede federal law enforcement officials from
Speaker 1: carrying out their responsibilities. Immigrant advocates have criticized the OC
Speaker 1: Sheriff's department for coordinating with ice at a higher rate
Speaker 1: than other counties. A Republican assemblyman from the Inland Empire
Speaker 1: says his bill to ban transgender athletes from competing in

Speaker 1: the way they used to be.
Speaker 9: Corona assembly Member Bill A. Saley's proposed legislation is due
Speaker 9: to be heard in the state Assembly on April first.
Speaker 9: He told kfi's John Cobel. Yes, before the law was
Speaker 9: changed ten years ago, boys and men did not compete
Speaker 9: against girls and women.
Speaker 3: There's an opportunity to have a real conversation here whether
Speaker 3: we have a co ed team, or we have a
Speaker 3: third category, or you know, give them some private facilities
Speaker 3: that they can use to change out in.
Speaker 9: The hearing will mark the first public debate on the
Speaker 9: issue since Governor Newsom said having trans athletes and girls'
Speaker 9: sports is unfair.
Speaker 1: Deborah Mark Ki five News. Let's say good morning now
Speaker 1: to ABC's John Cohen. John, the Trump administration has admitted
Speaker 1: that the editor in chief of the Atlantic was included
Speaker 1: on a group chat about upcoming attacks on the Hoothy Rebels.
Speaker 1: They are downplaying it, but you're saying this is this
Speaker 1: really is a big deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a very big deal, and particularly
Speaker 3: it's a big deal for the families of the sailors
Speaker 3: and pilots that were involved in this operation. Look, military
Speaker 3: operations and intelligence operations are dangerous, and the person who
Speaker 3: are involved in the conduct of these operations put themselves
Speaker 3: at risk into in service to this country, and we
Speaker 3: owe it to the families and spouses to safeguard the
Speaker 3: information that can provide advanced warning of this operation. So,
Speaker 3: in this case, sensitive information regarding these planning efforts or
Speaker 3: was communicated amongst Cabinet officials on a commercial application, a
Speaker 3: commercial application that has been targeted for compromise by foreign
Speaker 3: intelligence services, and a commercial application that works on a
Speaker 3: cell phone, which quite frankly are easily compromised by foreign
Speaker 3: intelligence services. So we owe it to these personnel not
Speaker 3: to or to safeguard this information. So that means you
Speaker 3: don't discuss details of these observations in a bar, a restaurant,
Speaker 3: in front of your Alexa, on your cell phone, by
Speaker 3: text or via commercial apps. You do it over secured
Speaker 3: communication channels which the government maintains.
Speaker 1: So the question I have for you, John, is about
Speaker 1: those secured communications. So what other options do they have
Speaker 1: because we've heard that this signal app is used and
Speaker 1: was approved to be used, and was used by the
Speaker 1: previous administration too, to communicate.
Speaker 3: That's yeah, I heard that as well, and it's a
Speaker 3: little bit misleading. The use of commercial applications like Signal
Speaker 3: are allowed by some agencies under certain situations. Signal is
Speaker 3: an encrypted application, which is good for you or me,
Speaker 3: or the members of the public, journalists, private sector companies
Speaker 3: to use because they don't, unlike the government, maintain a
Speaker 3: massive communications infrastructure that provides for secured communications. You know,
Speaker 3: I used to be the under Secretary of Intelligence for
Speaker 3: the Department of Homeland Security. When I traveled on official
Speaker 3: travel or on vacation, I was you know, I carried
Speaker 3: with me secured communications device. If there was a very
Speaker 3: sensitive issue, like the planning of a counter terrorism operation,
Speaker 3: I would leave vacation and go to a secure facility.
Speaker 3: Their secure facilities all around the country, all over the
Speaker 3: world that government officials can go to. So while signal
Speaker 3: may be appropriate for some limited usage by government personnel,
Speaker 3: it certainly is not appropriate to be used to discuss
Speaker 3: sensitive operational information, which is why the Department of Defense
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three, the Chief Information Officers forbid the
Speaker 3: utilization on government on phones and computers of signal in
Speaker 3: order to be used to convey sensitive, unclassified and classified information.
Speaker 3: So there are communication capabilities that are maintained by the government,
Speaker 3: that are secured, that are especially established to safeguard this
Speaker 3: type of information. And that's the only those are the
Speaker 3: only capabilities that should be used to convey this type
Speaker 3: of information.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then just another question, So I don't think
Speaker 1: this isn't the first time this kind of thing has
Speaker 1: probably happened. Why do they why do they use it
Speaker 1: if they really shouldn't.
Speaker 3: Be Well, that's a really good question. And I think
Speaker 3: as members of Congress and others are asking questions, that'll
Speaker 3: be one of the questions they ask. There are several
Speaker 3: theories that folks have promoted ease of use, distrust of
Speaker 3: the government bureaucracy, you know, the concerns that their private
Speaker 3: conversations would be would be listened to by other government
Speaker 3: personnel and leak to the media, or it provides an
Speaker 3: opportunity to bypath data retention policies that control how government
Speaker 3: records are maintained. So that'll be one of the questions
Speaker 3: The other big question that's going to be asked is,
Speaker 3: you know, putting aside a moment the appropriateness of using
Speaker 3: a commercial application. The other question that's going to be
Speaker 3: asked is how the heck did a journalist get added
Speaker 3: to a signal group. Those people who know who you
Speaker 3: signal know that that requires a very deliberate process. You
Speaker 3: can't sneak into a signal group. You have to you know,
Speaker 3: people that are participating on it have to specifically be
Speaker 3: added by the administrator of the group. So someone added
Speaker 3: and provided access to these highly sensitive communications to a
Speaker 3: journalist who quite frankly exercised good restraint by limiting the
Speaker 3: information that he had access to because he was on
Speaker 3: this group and he didn't publish all of it.
Speaker 1: And in this case, it's sort of like they leaked
Speaker 1: at themselves, whether they meant to or not.
Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, right, you know, we always talk about
Speaker 3: we always talk about the concern about, you know, something
Speaker 3: practice could lead to an unauthorized disclosure. We don't have.
Speaker 3: This isn't hypothetical.
Speaker 7: This happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they use this commercial channel, they use it in
Speaker 3: a way that they provided access to a member of
Speaker 3: the media. The member of the media was able to
Speaker 3: publish portions of what he saw, so the information was
Speaker 3: in fact compromised.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. ABC's John Cohen, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: your information and insight. We certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Good talking to you, all right, take care.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Amtrak is warning
Speaker 1: customers about a confirmed case of measles on a passenger
Speaker 1: train from New York City to Washington, d C.
Speaker 10: The person with measles was on the Amtrak Northeast Regional
Speaker 10: train southbound last Wednesday. Amtrak says it is reaching out
Speaker 10: to all passengers on that impacted train to alert them
Speaker 10: of their possible exposure.
Speaker 5: Yeay if I.

Speaker 1: entered last year ye over problems with its seven thirty
Speaker 1: seven Max jets, including two deadly crashes. ABC's Alex Stone
Speaker 1: says Boeing wants to withdraw the guilty plea agreement with
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice.
Speaker 2: The agreement blamed Boeing for misleading the FAA before the
Speaker 2: crashes killed three hundred and fifty six people, but Boeing
Speaker 2: is now seeking more lenient treatment from President Trump's administration.
Speaker 1: Those two crashes happened in Indonesia in twenty eighteen and
Speaker 1: Ethiopia in twenty nineteen. Vice President Van says he'll be
Speaker 1: going with Second Lady Usha Vance when she travels to
Speaker 1: Greenland on Friday. The Vice President posted a video on
Speaker 1: x yesterday about his plans.
Speaker 11: Speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate the security
Speaker 11: of the people of Greenland because we think it's important
Speaker 11: to protecting the security of the entire world.
Speaker 1: Is Commons followed President Trump's repeated statements that the US
Speaker 1: should own and control the semi autonomous Danish territory. Officials
Speaker 1: in Greenland and Denmark have denounced the visit. An executive
Speaker 1: order from as and Trump would stop the federal government
Speaker 1: from using paper checks.
Speaker 12: The order, assigned Tuesday would block the Treasury Department from
Speaker 12: issuing checks for benefits, tax refunds, vendor payments, and intragovernmental
Speaker 12: payments effective September thirtieth. At that time, the federal government
Speaker 12: would be required to switch to electronic transfer methods like
Speaker 12: direct deposit and prepaid card accounts.
Speaker 1: Kfi's Tammy Truchio says, according to the order, paper checks
Speaker 1: impose unnecessary costs, delays, risks of fraud, theft, and inefficiencies.
Speaker 1: It is time for world champion Dodger Baseball where just
Speaker 1: one day away from the home opener this season. Tomorrow,

Speaker 1: Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noem will tour the prison in

Speaker 1: it's Handle on the News with our friend Chris Merril
Speaker 1: filling in today. Mike Walls has claimed responsibility for that
Speaker 1: Signal check group lead to a journalist. We'll find out
Speaker 1: more about that, but right now, let's say good morning
Speaker 1: to our host of Rich on Tech KTLA's tech reporter
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro.
Speaker 11: Morning, Rich, Hey, good morning to you.
Speaker 8: Amy.
Speaker 1: We're not going to dive into what happened with Signal
Speaker 1: because you're our tech guy, because we heard you talking
Speaker 1: with it about Chris with Chris Merril yesterday about how
Speaker 1: we've all added the wrong people onto chats, so it
Speaker 1: can happen, but it's also a pretty serious thing.
Speaker 11: Well yeah, I mean I'm not a government official, so
Speaker 11: my chat is like, yeah, I'll see you in ten minutes,
Speaker 11: not hey, we're bombing this place in ten minutes.
Speaker 1: But we've all sent that one that like you sent
Speaker 1: it like would you just leave me alone? I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that went to the wrong person.
Speaker 11: Oh always, and I get it and look and Signal
Speaker 11: is a very secure app. I understand a lot of
Speaker 11: people use it, a lot of executives use it anyone
Speaker 11: that wants to remain private because it is very much
Speaker 11: encrypted and it doesn't collect a lot of information. So
Speaker 11: I understand all that part, but also, yeah, this is
Speaker 11: a human mistake and there's some things to unpack here
Speaker 11: as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting as we dive into this, well, I'm going
Speaker 1: to share something that we just found out from John
Speaker 1: going with ABC that he was saying, you need to
Speaker 1: get to secure places, and he goes, there's secure places,
Speaker 1: like secure facilities all over the country. It's not as
Speaker 1: it's not as easy to get to as your phone.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, you knew there were locations all over
Speaker 1: the place.
Speaker 11: Oh, I'm sure there are there's you know, I mean,
Speaker 11: but look, at the end of the day, again, we're
Speaker 11: all human and we take you know, these paths of
Speaker 11: least resistance and we and we're so used to texting
Speaker 11: and these are all new people and you know, new positions,
Speaker 11: and I'm not defending them, but it's like, you know,
Speaker 11: they've got to follow the rules that that are established
Speaker 11: and if that's not using signal, then they got to
Speaker 11: figure that out.
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, speaking of following rules, the rule for TikTok
Speaker 1: is you got to sell or you're going to be banned.
Speaker 1: That was pushed back. But is that back on the
Speaker 1: table or the deadlines approaching? What's going on with TikTok?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've forgot about this. April fifth is that deadline?
Speaker 11: It's already here, already. I can't believe it. It's like
Speaker 11: we've been talking about this for I'm not kidding over
Speaker 11: four years now, how many years it's been, It's been
Speaker 11: many years. And so TikTok has faced an uncertain future
Speaker 11: here in the US. The current thing is that it
Speaker 11: needs to be sold to a non Chinese owner or
Speaker 11: risk being banned. Is that happening? Has there been any
Speaker 11: progress whatsoever?
Speaker 1: Not? Really.
Speaker 11: We've seen a couple of companies like Oracle have some interest.
Speaker 11: We've seen a couple of investor groups pop up here
Speaker 11: and there, but nothing solid. So with that in mind,
Speaker 11: TikTok has been ramping up a massive ad campaign. I
Speaker 11: was watching TV the other day and I was like, wait,
Speaker 11: what is this an ad for TikTok?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 11: And it was so you know, it was so heartfelt
Speaker 11: and warm and it made me want to scroll all
Speaker 11: day long until my eyes fall out. But they're saying,
Speaker 11: look where a kind, gentle social media service, and you
Speaker 11: should keep us here in the US.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've seen those ads too, And TikTok is not really
Speaker 1: interested in selling either, is it.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 11: I mean, the Chinese company that owns it does not
Speaker 11: want to sell it because A it's a cash cow
Speaker 11: and B there's a lot of secret sauce in that
Speaker 11: algorithm and they don't want to give that up.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, well we'll be watching and it'll be interesting
Speaker 1: to see because it was supposed to go into effect
Speaker 1: earlier and then Trump pushed it back.
Speaker 11: Right, And this doesn't seem like it's the most pressing
Speaker 11: issue in America right now, But hey, what do I
Speaker 11: know exactly?
Speaker 1: Well, you do know that we can get some stuff
Speaker 1: on sale on Amazon right now?
Speaker 11: Well, I didn't actually know this. I didn't even know
Speaker 11: there was a spring sale until I was doing some
Speaker 11: research yesterday and I was like, wait, why are these
Speaker 11: people posting? Why am I getting so many emails about
Speaker 11: Amazon discounts? And sure enough, this is Amazon Amazon's big
Speaker 11: Spring sale. It's running through March thirty first, kind of
Speaker 11: a mini Prime day, so they're not calling this a
Speaker 11: Prime day. You know you typically they do two of
Speaker 11: those a year, but I think these sales must do
Speaker 11: pretty well for Amazon. So what happens is all these
Speaker 11: manufacturers discount stuff. Why I started getting the email. So
Speaker 11: if you're looking for something, if there's something in your
Speaker 11: shopping car, maybe your wish list, maybe you're saved for later,
Speaker 11: now is the time to check for discounts. A couple
Speaker 11: of notables AirPods pro down to one hundred and seventy bucks,
Speaker 11: Apple Watch the latest model down to two ninety nine,
Speaker 11: the latest Google Pixel smartphone seven forty nine, the Ring
Speaker 11: indoor cam forty bucks, and the crowd favorite, the Brother
Speaker 11: laser printer, which I personally had for about ten years
Speaker 11: ninety nine bucks.
Speaker 1: Oh so some good deals when they do these sales,
Speaker 1: do I mean do they They don't take usually a
Speaker 1: ton off, but there are some like I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're lost leaders, but they usually pick a few.
Speaker 11: Well, it's every company. So basically, you know, like the
Speaker 11: the companies sort of go through and say like hey,
Speaker 11: you know, like we'll discount this stuff. And so Amazon
Speaker 11: just says, hey, we're having this big day, and then
Speaker 11: it's up to the companies to sort of like discount
Speaker 11: their products because most of the stuffs sold on Amazon
Speaker 11: now is like third part. But I went through my
Speaker 11: saved stuff and sure enough, there's a lot of stuff
Speaker 11: on there on sales. So definitely take a look at
Speaker 11: your cart or your wish list or you know, if
Speaker 11: you need something like a battery, portable battery or something,
Speaker 11: you know, this is the time to get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What's interesting to me on this rich is that
Speaker 1: there aren't like traditional ads saying hey, we're doing a sale.
Speaker 1: It's all, but you're finding out about it because of
Speaker 1: social media, like because everybody's talking about it.
Speaker 11: Well that's because of affiliate marketing. So basically Amazon's not
Speaker 11: you know, they're advertising in certain ways, probably online, but
Speaker 11: you know, the real benefit here is to affiliates who
Speaker 11: basically share a link to Amazon stuff and they get
Speaker 11: a little cut.
Speaker 4: So that's why you see.
Speaker 11: So many of those articles from every publication out there
Speaker 11: that says ten items I can't live without on Amazon
Speaker 11: because they are doing affiliate sales and they make a
Speaker 11: small cut, okay for absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 1: Yeah really, no kidding. For more great tech information, you
Speaker 1: can listen to rich Demiro right here from eleven to
Speaker 1: two on Saturday on KFI. You can also see him

Speaker 1: website rich on Tech dot tv. He posts all the
Speaker 1: stuff that he talks about there so you can get

Speaker 1: because you guys have assembled an amazing array of movie
Speaker 1: props that I have to tell you, I'm totally geeking
Speaker 1: out just looking around the room and.
Speaker 5: You know, right behind me, Hello Superman.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that is one of the star lots in the sale.
Speaker 14: This auction is something that we do twice a year
Speaker 14: in the US and once over in the UK, and
Speaker 14: it's really our ten pole project. It's where we put
Speaker 14: out some of the absolute best material that has surfaced
Speaker 14: through the year.
Speaker 4: Okay, so this costume.
Speaker 14: Here, this is a genuine Christopher Reeves Superman outfit that
Speaker 14: he wore in Superman three, which was the one that
Speaker 14: also had Richard Pryor in it. Oh right, right, And
Speaker 14: this is actually evil Superman's if you recall in the film,
Speaker 14: there's a sequence where Superman he starts drinking and he
Speaker 14: actually turns evil, and to represent that in the film,
Speaker 14: they change his costume out of his core primary colors
Speaker 14: that we always see in the very bright blue, red,
Speaker 14: and yellow into this much darker, sort of less saturated
Speaker 14: version of the outfit. So it's wonderful and its completeness
Speaker 14: because you do have the entire ensemble head to tell
Speaker 14: You've got the boots, you've got the belt, you've got
Speaker 14: the cape with the big s.
Speaker 4: On the back. All of it is labeled.
Speaker 14: Maybe the inside there's little fabric identifying tags that are
Speaker 14: from the costume house that made the outfit in the UK,
Speaker 14: which is a famous costumer called Burmans and Nathan's that
Speaker 14: say in a little typescript font Christopher Reeves Superman three.
Speaker 1: And is that How do you check for authenticity because
Speaker 1: I mean, anybody could make a knockoff of this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's a very good question.
Speaker 14: It's actually especially pertinent with Superman costumes because fraudulent examples
Speaker 14: are a real problem with those. You know, it really
Speaker 14: comes down to our expertise. So we've been doing this
Speaker 14: a long long time. PROPST was founded in nineteen ninety
Speaker 14: eight in the UK. We've had the US office here
Speaker 14: since two thousand and seven. We have encountered a lot
Speaker 14: of examples of different props and costumes in the past,
Speaker 14: both good and bad. And with the Superman costumes, the
Speaker 14: fabric is actually a very specific thick weave that they
Speaker 14: made specifically for the films. It's not just like an
Speaker 14: athletic spandex that you.
Speaker 4: Would go out and buy. It's literally something that they made.
Speaker 14: You won't see that fabric anywhere else except on a
Speaker 14: genuine Superman costume. And we've been able to compare, for example,
Speaker 14: this example to versions that came directly out of the
Speaker 14: studio archive, the Warner Brothers studio archive, and you know,
Speaker 14: all the little tells, all the witness marks are exactly
Speaker 14: consistent between them. So we are one hundred percent confident
Speaker 14: that this is a genuine example. It does come with
Speaker 14: the prop Store Certificate of Authenticity, which gives buyers a
Speaker 14: lifetime guarantee, a money back guarantee, so that if there
Speaker 14: ever is a problem with that piece or any other piece,
Speaker 14: they can come back to us and we'll.
Speaker 4: Make it right.
Speaker 1: Let's go, because there's so much to look at and
Speaker 1: so much to see. Share with us a few of
Speaker 1: the other big ticket items that are going to be
Speaker 1: auctioned off.
Speaker 14: Sure, yeah, there's a couple of wonderful Star Wars pieces
Speaker 14: this auction.
Speaker 4: So we could see just in the.
Speaker 1: Camber to the Star Wars piece right now, I remember
Speaker 1: this so well. So this is from the final scene
Speaker 1: of the original Star Wars A New Hope exactly.
Speaker 4: I mean, this piece is just unforgettable.
Speaker 14: This is the ceremonial metal that was bestowed upon Mark
Speaker 14: Hamill by Kerrie Fisher in the final scene of the movie.
Speaker 14: It's actually the very last thing you see on screen
Speaker 14: before they fade out and go to George Lucas's director's
Speaker 14: title card.
Speaker 4: And this is one of only two that they had
Speaker 4: for the film. So there was this one, there was
Speaker 4: one other.
Speaker 14: That Harrison Ford wore, and it has been with the
Speaker 14: family of a prop man for almost fifty years, someone
Speaker 14: who worked on the original Star Wars film, and.
Speaker 4: It's coming to light for the very first time.
Speaker 5: So that's what I was.
Speaker 4: This is really special.
Speaker 5: Where do you acquire these items?
Speaker 1: Coming up? Brandon's going to tell us where they get them,
Speaker 1: who buys them, where you can see them, where you
Speaker 1: can watch and participate, and how you could even get
Speaker 1: one for yourself. Right now, it's time to get in
Speaker 1: your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahogue mourning, Courtney, good morning,
Speaker 1: we got a deal in discount. Dollar Tree sold its business.
Speaker 7: Yes, it is official Dollar Tree checking out a Family
Speaker 7: Dollar selling the struggling business for about a billion dollars.
Speaker 7: Now the buyer is a group of private equity firms,
Speaker 7: but the price tag is steep.
Speaker 5: It's a big discount.
Speaker 7: Actually to the nearly nine billion dollars that paid for
Speaker 7: Family Dollar back in twenty fifteen. So look at that
Speaker 7: eight billion dollars less Dollar Tree.
Speaker 1: They bought it for nine and they sold it for
Speaker 1: one or one.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah.
Speaker 7: Family Dollar has definitely struggled to grow over the past
Speaker 7: couple of years. Low income shoppers have been under pressure
Speaker 7: high inflation and interest rates. Now, when you think of
Speaker 7: Dollar Tree versus Family Dollar, Dollar Tree is mostly in
Speaker 7: the suburbs. They cater to middle income households, kids who
Speaker 7: people who want crafts, party supplies. That's who they're looking toward. Okay,
Speaker 7: Family Dollar, however, are people who want more essentials they
Speaker 7: go there. It's concentrated mostly in urban areas, so it
Speaker 7: hasn't been as successful. So that's one of the reasons
Speaker 7: why Dollar Tree said, you know what, Originally we had
Speaker 7: a plan of becoming this big, big company just covering
Speaker 7: all aspects of the discount space, and it didn't quite
Speaker 7: work out that way. Because Dollar Tree has excuse me,
Speaker 7: family dollar. There's so many dollars.
Speaker 4: I have to.
Speaker 7: Say a family dollar has.
Speaker 5: Been struggling so much.
Speaker 1: Okay, are they going to close yes.
Speaker 7: A couple of the stores. Well, they're most likely going
Speaker 7: to be relabeled again. Private Equity didn't say what they're
Speaker 7: going to do with the business, but Dollar Tree is
Speaker 7: actually going to be closing some businesses. So they're looking
Speaker 7: to boost their business. They're going to shut down a
Speaker 7: bunch of underperforming stores. They're going to expand a lot
Speaker 7: of the products that they have, and they're going to
Speaker 7: have more pricey items, things that cost as much as
Speaker 7: seventy eight dollars. That's what they're looking at. So Dollar
Speaker 7: Tree as a whole is making some changes. Private Equity
Speaker 7: probably has to take a good assessment of the business
Speaker 7: and then make the changes that they need to make,
Speaker 7: most likely closing some of the stores though.
Speaker 1: Okay. Under Armour is scoring big.
Speaker 7: Why, Yes, they're stepping up and locking in a deal
Speaker 7: with the NFL to be the official provider of footwear
Speaker 7: and gloves. Under Armour had a previous licensing agreement with
Speaker 7: the NFL that ended in twenty twenty because at the time,
Speaker 7: they were undergoing a restructuring and a cost cutting push.
Speaker 7: So the company has rebounded a lot since then. One
Speaker 7: of the reasons is founder Kevin Plank. He came back
Speaker 7: as CEO about a year ago to lead this turnaround
Speaker 7: for the company. But financial terms of the deal with
Speaker 7: the NFL wasn't disclosed.
Speaker 1: Okay, you said footwear, but not shoes like y sock shoes, shoes, shoes.
Speaker 1: I didn't know under Armour had shoes.
Speaker 7: Okay, And they're going to be able with this deal
Speaker 7: to be able to label the shoes too, so where
Speaker 7: instead of just being able to wear it and being
Speaker 7: being allowed on the field, they're going to be allowed
Speaker 7: to label it.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then really quick because we're almost out of time.
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about the Kroger and Albertson's.
Speaker 1: The deal is off, but the fight isn't.
Speaker 7: Yes, the dispute continues to heat up. A Kroger is
Speaker 7: fighting back against a lawsuit brought on by Albertson's over
Speaker 7: their failed merger. Albertson claims that Kroger didn't do enough
Speaker 7: to win the regulatory approval for the deal. That twenty
Speaker 7: five billion dollar deal now Kroger is accusing Albertsons of
Speaker 7: trying to extract billions of dollars with these baseless claims
Speaker 7: that Kroger tried to undermine the tie up. So Albertsons
Speaker 7: is now responding to the suit saying that Kroger's just
Speaker 7: trying to avoid paying all the money that it owes them.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's getting in your business today with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much. We'll do it again tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Yes see you later.
Speaker 1: Ride share drivers will rally in front of La City Hall,
Speaker 1: also in San Francisco and San Diego. The rallies are
Speaker 1: happening ahead of a mediation session for settlement discussions over
Speaker 1: a lawsuit in which drivers claim they've been robbed of
Speaker 1: tens of billions of dollars in wages. Vice President Vance
Speaker 1: is going to make the trip to Greenland with his
Speaker 1: wife and other US officials. Usha Vance was set to
Speaker 1: headline or head up the delegation, but Vance sent out
Speaker 1: a video tweet saying he's going to join her. He
Speaker 1: didn't want her to have all the fun. President Trump
Speaker 1: says he wants to take control of Greenland. Officials in
Speaker 1: Greenland say the delegation was not invited. The summer movie
Speaker 1: season is just around the corner. Fans say they are
Speaker 1: most excited to see dinosaurs. Jurassic World Rebirth tops the
Speaker 1: list of most anticipated releases, according to a Fandango survey.
Speaker 1: Most are franchise movies. The Fantastic Four, First Steps, Mission Impossible,
Speaker 1: The Final Reckoning, Superman, Thunderbolts, and From the World of
Speaker 1: John Wick. Ballerina round out the top five. We're gonna
Speaker 1: tell you more about some cool movie stuff in just
Speaker 1: one second. In fact, let's talk about it now. Wake
Speaker 1: Up Call went out and about to the Peterson Automotive
Speaker 1: Museum for a sneak peek at the prop stores auction
Speaker 1: of some amazing movie props and from some of your
Speaker 1: favorite superhero and sci fi shows, including Top Gun. We're
Speaker 1: talking to the COO, Brandon Allinger. There are more than
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred items being off off over the next couple
Speaker 1: of days. So, Brandon, where do you get all these
Speaker 1: pieces of Hollywood history?
Speaker 14: Yeah, they come from all over the place, and so
Speaker 14: in some cases things are coming out of film studios
Speaker 14: or production companies directly. In other instances, they're coming from
Speaker 14: people who worked on the movies, which.
Speaker 4: Is the situation with this Luke Skywalker Medal.
Speaker 14: You know, at this time in the nineteen sixties, seventies
Speaker 14: and eighties, people weren't necessarily tracking and saving these things
Speaker 14: in the same way they are today. The golden was
Speaker 14: to make the movie, not necessarily to save the props.
Speaker 14: So things like this they did get thrown away. They
Speaker 14: were given to people, and you know that's why some
Speaker 14: of these are out there today.
Speaker 1: Okay, we've got another cool one for you too. Then
Speaker 1: we have spanglers. Yes, yes, so fit from the original Ghostbus.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 14: So, I'm a big Ghostbuster fan. I love seeing this
Speaker 14: costume here. You know, this is a jumpsuit that was
Speaker 14: worn in the second film. You can see the arm
Speaker 14: patch here. Ye, it's got the ghost holding up the
Speaker 14: two fingers. That's the design from the second movie. The
Speaker 14: belt is his from the first movie, and the boots
Speaker 14: are also his from the first movie, and they're actually
Speaker 14: marked inside HR for hald Ramis. I think this is
Speaker 14: the only belt that I've ever seen in a private collection,
Speaker 14: So that's a really special piece. And then in addition
Speaker 14: to the costume over here in the showcase, this is
Speaker 14: one of the absolute highlights of the sale. This is
Speaker 14: a hero functional electronic ghost trap prop, so it's a
Speaker 14: special effects version. You can see the nineteen eighties remote
Speaker 14: control there that actually drives the whole unit. If we
Speaker 14: power it up, the doors open and close, the lights
Speaker 14: on the top work, the little red light at the backflashes,
Speaker 14: the whole thing comes to life, and it is made
Speaker 14: out of metal. It's just a beautiful example of a
Speaker 14: hero prop, something intended to be using close up.
Speaker 4: In the film.
Speaker 5: Okay, so what's that going to go for?
Speaker 14: The estimate on this one, you can see here on
Speaker 14: the card. Pre sale estimate is one hundred and fifty
Speaker 14: to three hundred thousand. Well, so we don't know exactly
Speaker 14: what it's going to sell for. You know, that's going
Speaker 14: to be determined by the bidders on the day. I
Speaker 14: can tell you there's been a lot of questions on
Speaker 14: this one, a lot of inquiries.
Speaker 4: We'll we'll see tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: So you've got the big ticket items, you've got some
Speaker 1: smaller things. So maybe if I don't have an extra
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars or other things, technically I could bid on absolutely.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, we try to have something for everyone.
Speaker 14: So there's gonna be items, especially on days two and three,
Speaker 14: starting as low as maybe three or four hundred dollars.
Speaker 14: So really the prices run the full spectrum. Day one
Speaker 14: tends to be more of the higher end, more expensive
Speaker 14: items like the ghost trap, like the Spangler costume.
Speaker 4: But on days two and three you're going to see
Speaker 4: some great.
Speaker 14: Pieces which are also all from the making of people's
Speaker 14: favorite films and shows, just you know, small or less
Speaker 14: recognizable pieces that are at much more accessible price.
Speaker 5: Who baited on these kinds of things.
Speaker 14: Just fans, people that love movies. You know, our clientele
Speaker 14: comes from all different kinds of backgrounds. And look, we
Speaker 14: have people that work in the entertainment industry, we have
Speaker 14: high net worth individuals. We also have just very you know,
Speaker 14: regular people who love films, who are from all walks
Speaker 14: of life, from all over the country. You know, international buyers,
Speaker 14: people buying from Europe, people buying from Asia, people buying
Speaker 14: from all corners of the globe. And just the common
Speaker 14: trend that we see is they're passionate about it. They
Speaker 14: love the movie, they love the show. They want a
Speaker 14: little piece of it they can put in their office
Speaker 14: or put in their home. Theater and you know that's
Speaker 14: what we're providing here.
Speaker 1: Okay, So the auction starts today Wednesday, goes through Friday,
Speaker 1: and if people want to come see it, they'd have
Speaker 1: to come see it today because it's items will be
Speaker 1: all display today.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so day one Wednesday is live with in person bidding,
Speaker 14: meaning you can show up here at the Petersautomoti Museum
Speaker 14: and bid in the room. You can also bid online
Speaker 14: or buy a telephone. Days two and three Thursday Friday,
Speaker 14: they are online and buy phone only, so there's no
Speaker 14: in person element to those.
Speaker 4: Just at our website propstore dot com.
Speaker 5: Okay, so propstore dot com.
Speaker 1: That's where you can go and you can register and
Speaker 1: get all set up and then you can dip in
Speaker 1: and out when you see different things. And are there
Speaker 1: lists of the different items here?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a full online catalog.
Speaker 14: It's about thirteen hundred lots in total. You can search it,
Speaker 14: you can filter it, you can put in your favorite
Speaker 14: movie title and see what we have from it. You'll
Speaker 14: have a comprehensive photo gallery of all the different lots.
Speaker 14: You'll have a written description tells you exactly what the
Speaker 14: piece is. So there's a lot there. If you're a fan,
Speaker 14: there's a lot there to digest and dive into.
Speaker 5: Okay, being a total fangirl. Before we go, I go
Speaker 5: to show.
Speaker 1: You one more thing, Danny Zuko's jacket from Grease.
Speaker 4: Come on, this is a big one. Yeah.
Speaker 14: This is maybe the only Grease jacket that has come
Speaker 14: to auction in several decades. This actually sold for the
Speaker 14: first time in a Christie's auction back in nineteen ninety five,
Speaker 14: so we're thirty years past that now, and this is
Speaker 14: specifically you know, a lot of people are surprised that
Speaker 14: it's not leather, right, And the story is in the
Speaker 14: film there's a famous dance number, the Grease Lightning sequence,
Speaker 14: and if you go watch the film again, you'll see
Speaker 14: it's this much shiny or sort of nylon like jacket
Speaker 14: that he's wearing in that specific number.
Speaker 4: So he did have right.
Speaker 14: He had a leather version of the t Verge jacket
Speaker 14: as well, but this non leather version was used specifically
Speaker 14: for that sequence. He also wore it or possibly won't
Speaker 14: exactly like it at the film premiere. So the photo
Speaker 14: down there, that's Travolta and Olivin John at the premiere
Speaker 14: of the movie and he's wearing this jacket.
Speaker 1: There are so many cool things to see and so
Speaker 1: if you want to see them, need to come down
Speaker 1: today to.

Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
Speaker 1: four hour newsroom. A new lawsuit against the LEDWP by
Speaker 1: residents of Pacific Palisades sites evidence of the Santa Inez
Speaker 1: Reservoir being empty at the time of the Palisades fire.
Speaker 1: Lead attorney Roger Bailey told kfi's John Cobalt yesterday the
Speaker 1: reservoir was built in the late nineteen sixties specifically for
Speaker 1: firefighting purposes.
Speaker 15: With it empty, we had not only the water and
Speaker 15: the hydrants, and we had no ability for those helicopters
Speaker 15: to go draw water either out of Saninez or Chautauqua.
Speaker 15: You're basically both hands tied behind your back.
Speaker 1: Bailey said. The suit also highlights the fact the LEDWP
Speaker 1: had not de energized the Palisades power grid during the
Speaker 1: first hours of the wildfire. In January, LA may be
Speaker 1: asking voters whether more firehouses are needed around the city.
Speaker 6: Next year's ballot could include a bond measure or even
Speaker 6: a sales tax to support the construction of firehouses. Counciloman
Speaker 6: Tracy Park says there's not been a firehouse added to
Speaker 6: the Palisades in decades.
Speaker 7: Simply put, we need a twenty first century fire department
Speaker 7: that can tackle twenty first century problems.
Speaker 6: The city council voted to have city staff start to
Speaker 6: evaluate how many firehouses they may need, what the cost
Speaker 6: might be, and what the best way to pay for
Speaker 6: it all would be. After that, they'll decide on whether
Speaker 6: to go to voters for the funding. Michael Monks KFI News.

Speaker 1: but hundreds of thousands. A flight from la to China
