are in direct response to Hooti attacksagainst ships in the Red Sea. Biden
said in a statement. The attacksendangered US personnel as well as its partners,
(01:36):
along with threatening the freedom of navigation. The attacks hit over a dozen
Hoothy targets in Yemen, including radarsystems and drones storage. We're going to
find out the latest and the possiblerepercussions from what the US and the UK
have done with ABC's Shannon Crawford.That's coming up in just about five minutes.
A California congressman has introduced a federalbill that would require insurance companies to
(01:59):
provide coverage for natural disasters. Thiscomes after State Farm and All State announced
last year that they would stop writingnew policies in California because of rising business
costs and the increasing risk of wildfires. At six ZHO five, it's handle

judge told Trump lawyer to control hisclient. Sure, Bill's gonna have a
lot to say about that. Let'sget started with some of the stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hournewsroom. Hunter Biden has bleeded it not
guilty in downtown La to federal taxcharges. Biden was released on terms that
include he does not drink, dodrugs, or have a gun. He'll
have to submit to random drug testingand attend therapy. Prosecutors say Biden shows
(02:43):
not to pay one point four milliondollars in federal taxes from twenty sixteen to
twenty nineteen. Prosecutors further alleged youspent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle
rather than pay his tax bills.Biden entered the courthouse quietly yesterday. He
used a garage and not offering commentto reporters before or after the hearing in

downtown La. Blake Trolley k ifI News passengers on the Alaska Airlines flight
where the door plug blew out havesued Boeing, saying the experience caused them
economic, physical and emotional pain.The door plug detached last week, causing
the cabin to depressurize at about sixteenthousand feet up. The lawsuit comes as
(03:25):
the FAA investigates whether Boeing failed tomake sure its products adhere to federal safety
regulations. It says the emergency shouldhave never happened. Hundreds of flights have
been canceled or delayed because of Boeing'sseven thirty seven Max nine planes being grounded.
The airline has given a full refundto all one hundred and seventy seven
passengers on board that flight. Italso provided a fifteen hundred dollars cash payment
(03:49):
to each passenger to cover any otherexpenses, and says it'll be offering twenty
four to seven access to mental healthresources and counseling. Cyprus has voted to

I News Google has cut several hundredjobs across the country as it continues to
push for efficiency. The layoffs willimpact hardware and central engineering teams and some
people working on the Google Assistant product. A year ago, Google cut its
work offorce by twelve thousand, orroughly six percent of its full time staff.
(04:56):
Other big tech companies have also beencutting costs and staff. Recently,
ESPN has returned dozens of Emmys anddisciplined some employees who submitted fake names to
get trophies for on air personalities whowere not eligible to receive them. ESPN
said in a statement the apparent frauddate dates back to nineteen ninety seven,
(05:18):
been going on for a little while. The National Academy of Television, Arts
and Sciences, which administers the Emmys, says it discovered the fraud and that
led to an investigation. Oh,speaking of the Emmys, I didn't even
realize this. They've snuck up onus. They're happening on Monday. I'll
be watching. I told you I'ma sucker for award shows. It's five
(05:38):
seven on your wake up call.Let's say good morning now to ABC's State
Department correspondent Shannon Crawford. So,Shannon, the US is finally fighting back.
Good morning. Well, that's right. After weeks of warning that hoo,
the attacks in the Red Sea wouldhave severe consequences, the US and
the UK made good on those promises, launching a stunning blue of Tomahawk cruise
(06:00):
missiles in the pre dawn hours froman American submarine and Navy warships, with
fighter jets backing the whole operation,ultimately hitting over sixty targets at sixteen locations.
It's one of the broadest strikes inrecent memory. Okay, and you
said sixty different targets. Were theyall concentrated in like one area or kind
of all over Yemen? We areseeing most of the targets were in western
(06:25):
part of the country. That's wherethe hookies have been launching attacks on commercial
vessels in the Red Sea. Theysay they're doing it in solidarity with the
Palestinians and that they're hitting ships withconnections to Israel, but in reality,
many of these ships have no connectionsto Israel or only ten risk ties.
Okay, and a lot of themare cargo ships, isn't that correct?
(06:46):
That's right fifty About fifteen percent ofthe world's trade goes through the Red Sea
and the surrounding waterways. It wasstarting to have a significant impact on the
ability to move goods and oil.Ships had to diverge round Africa instead of
going through the more direct route,and really was adding costs to an already
shaky global economy. How much longerdoes it take to go around the tip
(07:13):
of Africa? It takes about tendays added to these already sometimes very long
journeys because much of the trade isgoing to East Asia, so these are
weeks or months of travel that isalready happening, so adding those days,
and of course other threats come withthat diverted route. So really shipping companies
(07:35):
were finding there was no good option. Yeah, okay, so we launched
the attacks the US and the UK. What kind of damage was done?
Do we know or is it tooearly to make that assessment? Damage assessments
are ongoing now that we've paid daylighthours and Yemen. US officials are confident,
however, that they have significantly degradedhooty capabilities. They should have a
(07:59):
better picture soon as to how successfulthey've been. But the hookies are very
mobile. Many of their projectiles canbe launched off the back of pickup trucks.
So officials say they would not besurprised that all if the Hoopies do
respond, they have held on tosome firepower or remains to be seen as
how significant that response will be.Yeah, and I heard that the Hooties
are coming back and saying that theyare going to respond because we attacked them.
(08:26):
That's right, And they have beensaying, you know, it is
important a note of course, thatthere have been more than two dozens the
attacks on commercial vessels, and wesaw this week they openly admitted to targeting
a US ship, so you knowthis is not for nothing. And then
also the Hoopies are they have sayingthey are going to come back, they
are going to strike back. Theymade that promise, and you know it's
(08:48):
something that official thing and shipping companiesare taking very seriously. Shifts have been
worn against transitting through the Red Seaover the next couple of days. The
message here is going to get worsebefore it's better. That's what I was
just going to ask you. Sois this going to encourage the ships to
start going through the Red Sea again, or is it going to like say
no, let's keep going around.You know, the ultimate hope is that
(09:11):
this will take the wind out ofHohofy sails. Really, the US was
under major pressure to act after issuingso many warnings, especially at the beginning
of the year, to came outwith fourteen partners, to say, you
know, hey, enough is enough. And if they didn't, you know,
strike back, there would be somekind of you know, there'd be
a question over American credibility. Butalso, you know, the concern here
(09:33):
underlying all of this has been escalatingtensions in the Middle East, and there
is a fear that this could openup a more regional conflict, spreading you
know what we're already seeing in theIsraelian moss War. Okay, and Shannon,
this is the President has said thatthis was in direct response to the
attacks on the ships in the RedSea. Doesn't have anything to do theoretically
(09:56):
with all the attacks on the basesthat have happened, like there's more than
seventy five of them around the region, that's right, But there is one
commonality in that is Iran. Iranis a backer of you know, so
many of these militia groups in theMiddle East, hes Beulahamas and of course
(10:16):
the Hoosis. So there is akind of an access of resistance or that's
how Hoopies see it that they aretaking part in. So yes, but
while US forces work quick to storyback against those militia groups in Syria and
Iraq, the hoopies have been akind of a different story because of you
know, really the de facto governmentof the emin right now. So it's
(10:39):
a little bit of apples or justcomparison in the eyes of the US.
Okay, and the attacks happen,I mean less than twenty four hours ago.
But do we have any kind ofidea or are is there any kind
of rumbling as about when they mightexpect the Hooties to respond if they do
well. It's something that US officialsare going to be watching very closely through
(11:01):
today. You know, it's likelythat the hoopies have not really finalized their
plans on what they intend to do. And what's also an added challenge we're
dealing with the hoopies is there avery unpredictable group while you know, others
might have a more consistent pattern thehoopies are really you know, only become
organized as such we've seen in thepast couple of years. So it's definitely
(11:26):
something that they're going to have tobe US forces and others in the region
are going to have to be agileand see what happens. Okay, and
we will be watching Shannon so much. Appreciate all the information Shannon Crawford.
You can follow her at s kCrawford ABC to keep up on all the
latest. Thanks so much, Annon, Thank you. Let's get back to
some of the stories coming out ofthe KFI twenty four hour news room.
(11:50):
The average price for a gallon ofregular guys in La County has dropped to
its lowest level in eleven months.The average is four dollars sixty five cents.
It's down two cents from me yesterday, ten cents down in the last
week. It hasn't been this cheap, if you can call it that,
since last February. Orange County's averagealso dropped to four fifty five Inventor County
(12:11):
gases averaging four seventy one a gallonfor regular unleaded. A California assembly member
is introduced a bill to restrict theuse of facial recognition technology in the state
AB eight fourteen, which simply requireslaw enforcement to have additional evidence before they
can proceed with the search, arrestor affidavit for a warrant when they are
(12:33):
using facial recognition software. Assembly memberPhil Ting says it's critical for California to
set up safeguards. Do you preventmistake and arrests or inappropriate tracking when using
the tool. A piece of technologyrevealed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas will help deaf people play videogames. Audio radar allows the hearing impaired
(12:54):
to play popular audiocentric games like Callof Duty, Roadblocks in Fortnite. Any
espen on how many hearing impaired gamersthere are out there, I could say
millions. For facts. That's TimMurphy, the inventor and CEO. Murphy
says audio radar puts six led lightsaround a TV or monitor. So when
these lights are flashing let's say onthe top of your TV for example,
(13:15):
that means there's gunshots or footsteps ortanks rolling directly in front of you.
Now those lights are flashing on thebottom of the screen just like a radar.
Those sounds are now behind you notonly behind you, but you can
see it. They're behind you tothe right or behind you to the left.
Murphy came up with the idea intwenty sixteen. He used to be
a radar tech in the Navy.He says they're working now on a system
(13:37):
to alert deaf people when someone's atthe door or when a smoke alarm or
carbon monoxide alarm is activated at theCEES in Las Vegas. Steve Gregor,
y King of High News. Pasadenais a great place to visit es according
to The New York Times, whichput out its list of fifty two places
to go in twenty twenty four.The Time says the city, known for
the Tournament of Roses, Parade andthe Rose Bowl, has plenty to see.
(14:00):
The nearby San Gabriel Mountains provide apicturesque view on a clear day.
The Norton Simon Museum, which Ilove, is a must visit, as
well as the Pasadena Playhouse, theAntique mal and of course, there's plenty
of dining options like Barsheloo. Accordingto the Times, the number one place
to go this year is the Pathof Totality, which follows the total solar
eclipse across America. In April,a second avalanche has come down in Lake
(14:26):
Tahoe, near where an avalanche killeda man on Wednesday at Palisades Tahoe,
which used to be Squaw Valley.It wasn't familiar with what that ski resort
was, but now we know.Ski patrol searched the area yesterday with dogs,
probes and beacons and says no onewas hurt in the avalanche. The
area is expecting another foot of snowas a new storm moves in. Avalanche
(14:48):
danger was high yesterday, it's beendowngraded to moderate for today. Israel says
the war in Gaza is not intendedto destroy the Palestinian people, and Israeli
lawyer made the argument today in theInternational Court of Justice in the Hague.
South Africa has accused Israel of committinggenocide in Gaza in its war against Hamas.
(15:09):
NASA will roll out a supersonic planefrom a hangar in Palmdale today.
There's going to be a test flightof the new aircraft later this year.
NASA said. In a couple ofyears, the X fifty nine is going
to soar over a half dozen citiesin California so it can get public feedback.
NASA says it will ask the publicto let them know if the sonic
(15:30):
boom sounds more like a thump.Have you ever heard of sonic boom?
I don't know if I ever?Have you have cono? I have been
to a couple of air shows atMarch Air Force Base and they get up
there, they set off all thecar alarms in the parking lot, which
is awesome. Does it sound likea thump? It's a really hard I
kind of. It's very hard toexplain, but it's really cool to be
(15:50):
there for it. Okay, Well, I can't wait for the X fifty
nine to fly at six oh five. It's handle on the news. The
US and the UK finally fought backagainst all the HOOTI attacks on she in
the Red Seed. Let's say goodmorning now to iHeart aviation analyst Jay Ratleft.
Good morning, Jay Pleasing, Goodmorning. So it's been a week
since the so called plug blew outon an Alaska Airlines flight from Portland to
(16:14):
Ontario. The FAA says it's investigatingBoeing. What are they looking for,
Well, they're looking to see justhow widespread this situation is. And keep
in mind this happened on a BoeingMax seven thirty seven, their nine hundred
series aircraft, and so it's justa small part of the seven thirty seven
Max family. But it was atthe end of December, I think it
(16:36):
was a twenty eighth or twenty ninthBoeing came out with an alert to airlines
that had all of the seven thirtyseven Max aircraft around the world and told
them to be aware of loose ormissing bolts. Now, this wasn't the
same part of the aircraft that wehad the situation in last weekend. This
was different parts of the airplane.So we've had in the last three weeks
(16:59):
Boeing admitting that they have aircraft leavingtheir production facility being entered into commercial service
around the world that really I don'twant to say aren't flight ready, because
that would suggest that there's an elementof danger here. But anytime that you've
got airplanes that don't have what wecall untorked hardware or where things haven't been
properly secured, it's to me anobvious situation of a production line that's getting
(17:22):
in a hurry trying to do everythingthat they can to dispatch airplanes. More
interested in speed than they are insafety, which is weird. I mean,
like Boeing used to be kind ofknown for its meticulous safety record.
But is that that's kind of fallingby the wayside. Apparently, yeah,
it is, but I'll tell youit really off the tracks with the Boeing
(17:47):
Max situation a number of years ago, were for sure a memory about that
because the Max had just been releasedand it had just started flying and then
we had I think it was twocrashes, right, yeah. And what
happened was that Boeing had totally readdesigned this aircraft, and the aircraft the
way it was, they had tomove the engines slightly and it affected the
(18:07):
airflow over the aircraft so that whenit was flying, there was this tendency
for the nose of the aircraft tonose up just a bit. Now in
flight, if it noses up toomuch, it disrupts the airflow over the
wings and it could create a stall, and a stall is very bad in
aviation. So the thought is thatthey would develop this software system that would
cause the aircraft nose to come downjust a bit. If the program detected
(18:32):
that the nose was going up onthe aircraft, it was an automatic system.
It is called the MCAST system,and it was new. So what
happened was they put it on thisairplane and it malfunctioned, and it malfunctioned
to the point that it took controlof the airplane away from the pilots for
ten seconds as it tried to correctit, and then it would give pilots
(18:53):
control back for five seconds. Andwhat happened was we had two crashes where
pilots were fighting this new INCAST system, and here was the kicker. Boeing
told the pilots nothing about it,so they didn't know what they were fighting.
When American airline pilots went to Boeingengineers saying why didn't you tell us,
they said, well, we didn'twant to inundate you with a lot
(19:15):
of needless information. It wasn't eventhe checklist in their cockpit. So Boeing
for a number of years has hadissues with that system. They've since corrected
it, but it was obvious fora number of years they were hiding information
from pilots from airlines as well asthe FAA inspectors. They were fined quite
a bit of money for that,and they promised to turn things around,
(19:37):
but here we are again just afew years later, where they're back to
producing airplanes that aren't really ready tofly. And the bottom line is Airbus,
which is the European aircraft manufacturer.They're kicking Boeing's butt right now.
I mean, they're producing and sellingmore airplanes than Boeing, and Boeing's try
to keep up, and they're doingthat by trying to rush the production and
(20:00):
and that's why we're seeing the problemswe are. Wow, it's just so
scary. So it and since thishappened, and thankfully nobody was hurt,
but since this happened, United andAlaska say they did find on their planes
some bolts that were loosened and soand some that weren't. Yeah, some
that just were barely put on byhand. You could tell that they had
(20:22):
just started to threat them so theycould use the automated torquing system to tighten
them down. And those were neverdone. And some of the mechanics from
some of the airlines involved around theworld have sent me pictures. It's unbelievable
that that could be considered done.Nobody would see it and it would go
on. And the issue with Boeingis a number of years ago, they
(20:45):
got rid of a lot of theirinspectors. They started having their employees to
self check their own work. Now, some Boeing whistleblowers came out saying,
look, this is horrible because thatextra set of eyes would catch a lot
of problems that took place. Nowthat they've removed that, it's kind of
like, you know, you're inhigh school, you grade your own test.
Okay, thank you very much.We've got an A plus here.
(21:07):
But the production schedule is so rushedright now, and that so much pressure.
We're being told on the Boeing employeesthat it's a matter of schedule as
king, we've got to get theairplane out. And you're right. Boeing
used to be the industry world leaderin safety. They were the top of
the wrong but right now it almostseems as those safety is an afterthought.
(21:27):
And of course the CEO for Boeingis promising to be transparent, blah blah
blah. It's obvious that they didn'tlearn their lesson from just a few years
ago. They're still stuck on tryingto rush planes through production, and that's
one of the reasons right now we'reseeing a lot more airlines say look,
I'm going to buy my future airplanesfrom air Bus instead of going with an
(21:48):
American made product because we simply can'ttrust now that those airplanes are going to
be safe to fly. And notonly safe, this airplane that came out
from Boeing for last airline was inservice for ten weeks, so there's a
problem. And now you have totake all of those out of service for
like a week to inspect them.Well, for Alaska Airlines, that's twenty
percent of their fleet, So it'sa really becomes an issue where even if
(22:11):
it's not dangerous, which this couldhave been, it's an inconvenience and it
affects your bottom line. And whenthat confidence starts to erode, it affects
the decision makers for airlines and rightfullyso to go with the product that they
can better trust. Yeah, andit's like in an effort to compete Boeing
and shooting themselves in the foot.You mentioned the cancelations, Alaska has grounded
(22:33):
its Max nine fleet until at leastthis weekend so they can expect the planes.
And that's one hundred and fifty flightsa day, it is, and
that's just in friends selling those flights. It is, and you know,
thankfully this wasn't a month ago whenwe were dealing with a lot of you
know, soon to be holiday travelers. But it's still not convenient because we're
still seeing a lot of people thatare wanting to fly. I think United
(22:53):
has seventy two of these, butit's only about eight percent of their fleet,
so they're able to absorb this alittle bit easier than Alaska Airlines.
But the real key is, andkind of the question lingering in a lot
of people's minds. Are Okay,we had that issue at the end of
December where they said look for boltsloose in this part. We are now
finding loose bolts in this part.Are there other parts of the aircraft that
(23:15):
we're soon to find out that aren'tproperly secured that are going to start giving
us some problems? All right,Well, we will be watching and hopefully
this is going to lead to somechanges in some fixes. So thank you
so much for your information and expertise. Jay Ratliff appreciated a ton, Always
my pleasure. Thank you. Allright, Hey, this Sunday morning at
(23:36):
ten you can catch the action ofthe AFC Wildcard game between the Pittsburgh Steelers
and the Buffalo Bills on your radioHome of the NFL AM five seventy LA
Sports presented in part by Rotolo Chevrolet. See what the fun is all about
at Rotlo Chevrolet. Six crew membersof board a Navy helicopter that crashed into
the San Diego Bay have been rescuedfrom the water. Navy officials say the
(23:57):
MH sixty are our Seahawk helicopter wentdown last night during a training mission.
Happened around six forty near Naval Amphibiousbased Coronado. President Biden says the US
and UK strikes against Houthi rebels inYemen are in direct response to Hoothy attacks
against ships in the Red Sea.There have been twenty seven attacks. Biden
(24:18):
says the attacks by the US andUK were done with the support of Australia,
Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands. Officials say the attacks hit over
a dozen Hoothy targets in Yemen,including radar systems and drone storage. A
couple of Friends' scripts are being auctionedoff. The scripts from the one with
Ross's Wedding Part one and Part twowere supposed to have been destroyed after the
(24:41):
episodes were filmed in a suburb ofLondon so that the ending wouldn't be leaked.
But apparently a studio worker found thescripts in a dumpster, pulled them
out and put them in a drawer. The scripts are expected to be offered
up for between seven hundred and sixtyand one thousand dollars. Seems like they
would go for much much more thanthat. Hey, Hertz was all in
(25:02):
for the electric cars, but nowit's going to sell off a bunch of
them. I'll tell you about thatat five point fifty. What's new in
the theaters this weekend and the criticshave their say. On Sunday night,
we're going to be talking with ourentertainment guru, ABC's Jason Nathanson. But
right now it's time to talk aboutyour dream home. So let's say good
morning to the host of Home onKFI, the House Whisper. It's Dean
(25:23):
Sharp. Hey, Amy, howyou doing. I am fabulous. You
know We've talked several times about how, even though I'm not doing projects on
a home right now because I'm renting, I love listening to your show because
you kind of explain things. SoI'm super excited about what you're talking about
this weekend, and that is aboutbuilding your dream home. Yeah, even
(25:48):
though I got to admit it's notthe most exciting facet of building your dream
home that we'll be talking about thisweekend, but but it's super important,
and you know, I should justsay we're starting something a little different this
year. We're going to approach someof our topics a little differently this year.
Okay, Building your dream is aseries that I'm starting this weekend.
(26:11):
I don't know exactly how long it'sgoing to last us, and we'll have
a few interruptions along the way,but we're going to attempt to take the
process of building a dream home fromstep one to the end throughout the course
of this year, for however longit takes us. So we're kind of
doing, you know, a littlemasterclass on how to move through the process
(26:32):
of building a dream home this weekend. Step one so exciting. Yeah,
No, fact, finding your propertyprofile is basically what it comes down to.
And when I throw that out therefor exactly exactly, well, you
know it's this, Before you playthe game, you got to know the
rules. Nobody lives in the middleof nowhere, anymore. There's no more
(26:55):
unclaimed frontier where it's little house onthe prairie and you're like, well,
this looks like a good spot tobuild the family home. Everybody, every
house, everywhere, every square footof buildable property anywhere in this country falls
under some kind of governing jurisdiction.And to make the most of your money,
your time, your efforts, beforeyou even start to get serious about
(27:21):
design, a good conscientious homeowner shouldsub do their homework and pull up all
of the regulations, limitations, theprofile, the history of their home,
their property. I don't know.It doesn't matter whether it's just an empty
lot that's ready to build a brandnew home or whether you're remodeling. There's
(27:42):
a ton of stuff to learn aboutyour home before you even get started.
Because and this is what's critical.I don't want to limit anybody's ability to
dream or to build the home thatthey want. But I've seen so many
people waste time with all sorts ofdesigns and investments into architects and contractors,
(28:06):
only to find out when they getto the city that somebody there is wagging
their head saying you can't do that, you can't do that in this city.
And if the city decides you can'tdo it, there's not a lot
you can do about it, orcan you appeal it. If you go,
oh, I want to do this, design in the city goes no.
Yeah, you know, people talkabout that all the time. And
I've been involved in a couple ofappeals. One we actually moved forward,
(28:27):
with the other not. But byand large, these are hard and fast
rules. So an appeal has tohave a very very strong case that something's
being interpreted wrong or something like that. So generally speaking, no, when
the city says no, this isthe way it's got to be, then
guess what. This is the wayit has to be. And I know
(28:48):
that sets kind of a bummer constrainton some projects, but I always say
this as a designer, constraints catalyzeour creativity, right, And so we
got to we just need to knowwhere's the envelope, you know, what
are the boundaries that we're working in, and then we can, if we
work hard enough, come up withsomething that works really, really well.
(29:10):
But we don't want to waste ourdesign time and our design money working on
something that just is a pipe dreamin terms of this property in this city,
in this county, in this location. Okay, So here's a question
for you, because so basically you'resaying, you got to do your homework
before you really get started with yourproject. Do you do it or do
you have your designer do it,or your architect do it, or your
(29:33):
contractor do it? Who does thehomework? Well, most of the time
you're not going to have your contractordo it because a contractor, if if
we're building our dream in the properorder, comes along later down the road,
we're not right there right now.Now. Some people have a friend
who's a contractor who has experience,and they're going to do it as a
favor for them. That's, youknow, fine, But generally speaking,
(29:56):
for most people, the contractor issomebody who comes down the road. The
question is are you going to doit? Are you going to have your
architect or your design to do it? And that is really a question of
who do you want to pay totake the time to do all this.
So my encouragement this weekend, I'mgoing to be laying out the list of
things to be look for, theprofiling things that we want to find out,
(30:19):
the information that we want to findout about the property and The fact
of the matter is that a homeownercan save themselves a lot of money if
they just want to, you know, kind of hunker down, do their
own homework, make a visit tothe city, talk to the right people,
find out what they need to findout, and then present that to
your designer and say, okay,here's the profile of our property. Here's
(30:42):
what we already know. Designers loveit when you do that because we have
all the information we need right atthe outset. Right, and then you're
not wasting your time either. Okay, So I just give us a couple
of the things that we might notthink of that are things that come into
play that you have to consider.Well, okay, so you know,
(31:03):
right at the top of the list, and a lot of people don't know
that that their their property has aattract a parcel and a lot number on
it on the tax assessors map.That's super easy. Yeah, it's not
exciting at all, it's not andyet it is literally step one. Nothing
moves forward without that right and andin most municipalities in California you can find
(31:26):
that out online. The county hastax assessor maps online. You enter your
address, you get your parcel number, dad that kind of stuff. The
second question is who is actually incharge? You know in Los Angeles too,
exactly in Los Angeles it gets alittle uh foggy sometimes because we don't
know is this LA County? Isit LA City? Is it a local
(31:48):
city with their own building department?Got to find out who's in charge the
zoning designation. I'm shocked sometimes thatmore owners don't understand what their zone designation
for their property is. That saysan entire It says a huge amount about
what you can and can't do.And by zoning, I mean are you
(32:08):
zoned residential? What we call Rone? Is it R A, which
is residential slash agricultural. That's myproperty here. It's not an agricultural property.
It's not, you know, afarm. But we are ra So
some folks in our neighborhood have largeenough piece of property they can keep horses.
Not me. I don't have thenecessary square footage on my property,
(32:30):
but I have enough square footage tokeep chickens and technically one goat, one
goat. How do I know that? No, we don't. We don't
have a goat chickens because we wouldlike to have two goats. If we
had a goat, we'd like tohave two goats so they keep each other
coming. But we have chickens,Yeah, we have chickens. So but
the point is there's a there's asquare footage cut off the size of the
(32:53):
lot. If we were, youknow, a few hundred feet larger our
lot, then we would step upto the next level and be able to
have a different set of animals hereon the property like some of my neighbors
do. And if we are alittle bit smaller, we couldn't even do
the chickens. And that's the kindof information and profiling that I'm talking about
(33:14):
for your property. Know your zoning, know what that means in your city,
what's allowed, what's not allowed.We want to get a list as
best as possible of all the rulesthat we're going to have to work within,
and then we start designing within thoserules and not wasting time. I
love it. Here's a couple othersthat I'm looking at on your list that
I know you're going to be goinginto a lot more detail this weekend.
(33:36):
But things to think about, likehow tall can your house be? Heighth
limits, how much square footage canyou put on your lot? Are there
noise ordinances in your neighborhood and parkingallowances. How many spaces do you have
to have? And that's just likea couple of the what twenty thirty different
things that you need to look at. So I know you're going to dig
deeper into it, and you sayit might not be that interesting, but
(33:59):
I've find it fascinating and I betyour listeners will too. And you can
hear Dean Sharp this weekend. It'sHome with Dean Sharp on KFI six to
eight am Saturday, nine to noonon Sunday. You can also follow him

back to some of the stories comingout of the KFI twenty four news from
the Biden administration is about to cancelstudent loan debt for borrowers who took out
smaller loans and are still struggling topay it off a decade later. You're
paying it for ten years. It'senough. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says the
Education Department will start automatically discharging debtsnext month for people who qualify and are

enrolled in an income driven repayment planrolled out last year. For those who
have borrowed the twelve thousand or lessafter ten years, they would be receiving
loan forgiveness. Nearly seven million borrowersare enrolled in the Save Replayment repayment program.

near where an avalanche killed a manon Wednesday. SKI patrol searched the area
with dogs, probes and beacons yesterdayand said no one was hurt in the
avalanche. The areas expecting another footof snow as a new storm moves in.
(36:13):
Avalanche danger was in the high category, it's now going to be moderate
today. Israel says the war inGaza is not intended to destroy the Palestinian
people, and Israeli lawyer made thatargument today in the International Court of Justice
in the Hague, where Israel isdefending itself against accusations of genocide by South
Africa in its Wargans Tomas, Abipartisan bill introduced in the House would allow
(36:36):
commercial pilots to make reports about UFOsidings to the Federal government. The bill
was put up after military officials testifiedabout unidentified objects out maneuvering jets. The
legislation would also allow air traffic controllersto make reports A president or former President
Trump wasn't supposed to talk and closingarguments for his civil fraud trial yesterday,
(36:59):
but he was able to get ina few words and was going to check
in on that. Right now.Let's say good morning to ABC's entertainment guru,
Jason Nathan's and Jason, let's getmean Yeah. Sure, we got
the Mean Girls coming out this weekend. Mean Girls is out this weekend,
the musical version of the original twothousand and four movie, which then went
(37:22):
on to become a Broadway musical.So this is the screen version of that,
And this is like the Color Purplething. It came out as a
movie, then went to Broadway,became a musical, and now it's a
musical movie exactly. But there wasa lot more time between the Color Purple
and when it came out in thetheaters and then went to Broadway and then
became a musical. This is,you know, two thousand and four,
(37:45):
Yes that's twenty years ago, butI think Mean Girls is one of those
films that is still on people's minds. They still watch it, they still
quote it, they still love it. And you know, it feels a
little soon. So when you're goinginto your like, okay, you're already
you got your guard up a littlebit, You're like, impress me do
something better than the original. Didmake this better in some way, and
(38:07):
unfortunately it just I'd rather go watchthe original film, Okay, not that
this is bad. And the youknow, the performances are good. And
you have Angery Rice, who playsthe Katie Herron role, which was made
famous by Lindsay Loewen, her firstkind of adult role. Remember, she
had been in Parent Trap and FreakyFriday and a couple of kids movies before
(38:28):
that, but this is the firstrole that really kind of broke her out
and she was fantastic in that,and the rest of the cast was so
good, and the cast here isgood. Reginia, the Regina George role,
is played by Renee Rapp, whois an up and coming actress and
also a great singer. The songs, to me don't really add a whole
lot to this, normally they don't. Anyway. I'm not a huge musical
(38:52):
fan, but I do like thegenre and like it on this stage.
That's where I like. The musicalis better. Yeah, and that's where
I think this probably should have stayed. I think people who went and saw
the Broadway version loved that as well. It did very, very well.
It was very successful. But thisyou're just going to compare it to the
(39:14):
original, and I would say theoriginal is still fresh enough. It doesn't
feel like an old movie at allor dated it anyway, you know,
kind of just watch the original thatit's going to do well this weekend.
It's going to top the box officeand they're looking at I think thirty million
dollars for the extended holiday weekend.Okay, And if you don't want to
head out to the theaters this weekend, we have new streaming on Hulu called
(39:37):
Self Reliance. What's that? Yeah? This is a movie from Jake Johnson,
who you might remember from New Girl. He wrote and directed and stars
in this. This is his directorialfilm directorial debut. He plays a guy
who can win a million dollars ifhe survives for thirty days on a dark
web reality show in which he's beinghunted, and he figures out a loophole
(40:00):
in which that he can if he'swith somebody the whole time, they can't
kill him. So he has tobe with somebody, has to find somebody
to stay with him the whole time. So it's kind of his quest to
find somebody who will stay with him. You know, his family doesn't believe
that he's actually telling the truth,and the whole thing it devolves into it's
a dark comedy, and it devolvesinto it gets darker and darker, and
(40:22):
the whole time you're wondering, isthis real? Is this actually happening?
And he plays a lot with that. I like the way that he does
play with that. Anna Kendrick alsoco stars. Yeah, and she's great
and just about everything. I wantedthis to be a little sharper, a
little funnier, to make it kindof an instant classic, because I really
do love the premise. And whenI talked to Jake Johnson, he said
(40:44):
he based it off a Japanese gameshow in the late nineteen nineties where a
guy was stuck in an apartment withnothing. He was naked. This actually
aired on Japanese television. He wasnaked and stuck in an apartment. He
couldn't leave, and he didn't haveanything food, he had no clothes,
he had no you know, nothingin the apartment, and he had to
win little prizes by there were Ithinks like newspaper cutouts and coupons and things.
(41:09):
He had to win prizes. Solike at one point he won a
bag of rice and he was soexcited, and then he had nothing to
cook the rice in. And soJake Johnson kind of took that premise and
expanded it into this, and Ithink it's, you know, a very
interesting meditation on the loneliness we facetoday, the isolation that we faced today,
(41:30):
and other kind of social stuff.So I like the areas he explores.
It's not quite there, but Idid enjoy it. Okay. So
whether you're staying home or going tothe theaters, you have options this weekend.
Thank you so much, Jason Nathanson. If you want to follow Jason,
go to at ABC News. Jason, have a great weekend, you
(41:52):

Let's get back to some of thestories coming out of the KFI twenty four
our newsroom. US and British militarieshave joined forces in a massive retaliatory strike
against Iranian back Houthi rebels in Yemen. Retired US Marine Colonel Steve Ganyard says
they don't want to just go afterindividual launchers and drone sites. They want
(42:12):
to be able to take out allof the Houthy military capabilities of disrupting commercial
shipping in the Red Sea. Ganyardsays that's why they took out more than
a dozen larger targets where Hooty weaponscould be stored in Yemen. The Houti
say at least five people were killed. President Biden says the strikes yesterday were
to show the US and its allieswill not tolerate the group's ceaseless attacks on

realize this. They've snuck up onus. They're happening on Monday. I'll
be watching. I told you I'ma sucker for award shows. It's five
(05:38):
seven on your wake up call.Let's say good morning now to ABC's State
Department correspondent Shannon Crawford. So,Shannon, the US is finally fighting back.
Good morning. Well, that's right. After weeks of warning that hoo,
the attacks in the Red Sea wouldhave severe consequences, the US and
the UK made good on those promises, launching a stunning blue of Tomahawk cruise
(06:00):
missiles in the pre dawn hours froman American submarine and Navy warships, with
fighter jets backing the whole operation,ultimately hitting over sixty targets at sixteen locations.
It's one of the broadest strikes inrecent memory. Okay, and you
said sixty different targets. Were theyall concentrated in like one area or kind
of all over Yemen? We areseeing most of the targets were in western
(06:25):
part of the country. That's wherethe hookies have been launching attacks on commercial
vessels in the Red Sea. Theysay they're doing it in solidarity with the
Palestinians and that they're hitting ships withconnections to Israel, but in reality,
many of these ships have no connectionsto Israel or only ten risk ties.
Okay, and a lot of themare cargo ships, isn't that correct?
(06:46):
That's right fifty About fifteen percent ofthe world's trade goes through the Red Sea
and the surrounding waterways. It wasstarting to have a significant impact on the
ability to move goods and oil.Ships had to diverge round Africa instead of
going through the more direct route,and really was adding costs to an already
shaky global economy. How much longerdoes it take to go around the tip
(07:13):
of Africa? It takes about tendays added to these already sometimes very long
journeys because much of the trade isgoing to East Asia, so these are
weeks or months of travel that isalready happening, so adding those days,
and of course other threats come withthat diverted route. So really shipping companies
(07:35):
were finding there was no good option. Yeah, okay, so we launched
the attacks the US and the UK. What kind of damage was done?
Do we know or is it tooearly to make that assessment? Damage assessments
are ongoing now that we've paid daylighthours and Yemen. US officials are confident,
however, that they have significantly degradedhooty capabilities. They should have a
(07:59):
better picture soon as to how successfulthey've been. But the hookies are very
mobile. Many of their projectiles canbe launched off the back of pickup trucks.
So officials say they would not besurprised that all if the Hoopies do
respond, they have held on tosome firepower or remains to be seen as
how significant that response will be.Yeah, and I heard that the Hooties
are coming back and saying that theyare going to respond because we attacked them.
(08:26):
That's right, And they have beensaying, you know, it is
important a note of course, thatthere have been more than two dozens the
attacks on commercial vessels, and wesaw this week they openly admitted to targeting
a US ship, so you knowthis is not for nothing. And then
also the Hoopies are they have sayingthey are going to come back, they
are going to strike back. Theymade that promise, and you know it's
(08:48):
something that official thing and shipping companiesare taking very seriously. Shifts have been
worn against transitting through the Red Seaover the next couple of days. The
message here is going to get worsebefore it's better. That's what I was
just going to ask you. Sois this going to encourage the ships to
start going through the Red Sea again, or is it going to like say
no, let's keep going around.You know, the ultimate hope is that
(09:11):
this will take the wind out ofHohofy sails. Really, the US was
under major pressure to act after issuingso many warnings, especially at the beginning
of the year, to came outwith fourteen partners, to say, you
know, hey, enough is enough. And if they didn't, you know,
strike back, there would be somekind of you know, there'd be
a question over American credibility. Butalso, you know, the concern here
(09:33):
underlying all of this has been escalatingtensions in the Middle East, and there
is a fear that this could openup a more regional conflict, spreading you
know what we're already seeing in theIsraelian moss War. Okay, and Shannon,
this is the President has said thatthis was in direct response to the
attacks on the ships in the RedSea. Doesn't have anything to do theoretically
(09:56):
with all the attacks on the basesthat have happened, like there's more than
seventy five of them around the region, that's right, But there is one
commonality in that is Iran. Iranis a backer of you know, so
many of these militia groups in theMiddle East, hes Beulahamas and of course
(10:16):
the Hoosis. So there is akind of an access of resistance or that's
how Hoopies see it that they aretaking part in. So yes, but
while US forces work quick to storyback against those militia groups in Syria and
Iraq, the hoopies have been akind of a different story because of you
know, really the de facto governmentof the emin right now. So it's
(10:39):
a little bit of apples or justcomparison in the eyes of the US.
Okay, and the attacks happen,I mean less than twenty four hours ago.
But do we have any kind ofidea or are is there any kind
of rumbling as about when they mightexpect the Hooties to respond if they do
well. It's something that US officialsare going to be watching very closely through
(11:01):
today. You know, it's likelythat the hoopies have not really finalized their
plans on what they intend to do. And what's also an added challenge we're
dealing with the hoopies is there avery unpredictable group while you know, others
might have a more consistent pattern thehoopies are really you know, only become
organized as such we've seen in thepast couple of years. So it's definitely
(11:26):
something that they're going to have tobe US forces and others in the region
are going to have to be agileand see what happens. Okay, and
we will be watching Shannon so much. Appreciate all the information Shannon Crawford.

Vegas will help deaf people play videogames. Audio radar allows the hearing impaired
(12:54):
to play popular audiocentric games like Callof Duty, Roadblocks in Fortnite. Any
espen on how many hearing impaired gamersthere are out there, I could say
millions. For facts. That's TimMurphy, the inventor and CEO. Murphy
says audio radar puts six led lightsaround a TV or monitor. So when
these lights are flashing let's say onthe top of your TV for example,
(13:15):
that means there's gunshots or footsteps ortanks rolling directly in front of you.
Now those lights are flashing on thebottom of the screen just like a radar.
Those sounds are now behind you notonly behind you, but you can
see it. They're behind you tothe right or behind you to the left.
Murphy came up with the idea intwenty sixteen. He used to be
a radar tech in the Navy.He says they're working now on a system
(13:37):
to alert deaf people when someone's atthe door or when a smoke alarm or
carbon monoxide alarm is activated at theCEES in Las Vegas. Steve Gregor,

kind of. It's very hard toexplain, but it's really cool to be
(15:50):
there for it. Okay, Well, I can't wait for the X fifty
nine to fly at six oh five. It's handle on the news. The
US and the UK finally fought backagainst all the HOOTI attacks on she in
the Red Seed. Let's say goodmorning now to iHeart aviation analyst Jay Ratleft.
Good morning, Jay Pleasing, Goodmorning. So it's been a week
since the so called plug blew outon an Alaska Airlines flight from Portland to
(16:14):
Ontario. The FAA says it's investigatingBoeing. What are they looking for,
Well, they're looking to see justhow widespread this situation is. And keep
in mind this happened on a BoeingMax seven thirty seven, their nine hundred
series aircraft, and so it's justa small part of the seven thirty seven
Max family. But it was atthe end of December, I think it
(16:36):
was a twenty eighth or twenty ninthBoeing came out with an alert to airlines
that had all of the seven thirtyseven Max aircraft around the world and told
them to be aware of loose ormissing bolts. Now, this wasn't the
same part of the aircraft that wehad the situation in last weekend. This
was different parts of the airplane.So we've had in the last three weeks
(16:59):
Boeing admitting that they have aircraft leavingtheir production facility being entered into commercial service
around the world that really I don'twant to say aren't flight ready, because
that would suggest that there's an elementof danger here. But anytime that you've
got airplanes that don't have what wecall untorked hardware or where things haven't been
properly secured, it's to me anobvious situation of a production line that's getting
(17:22):
in a hurry trying to do everythingthat they can to dispatch airplanes. More
interested in speed than they are insafety, which is weird. I mean,
like Boeing used to be kind ofknown for its meticulous safety record.
But is that that's kind of fallingby the wayside. Apparently, yeah,
it is, but I'll tell youit really off the tracks with the Boeing
(17:47):
Max situation a number of years ago, were for sure a memory about that
because the Max had just been releasedand it had just started flying and then
we had I think it was twocrashes, right, yeah. And what
happened was that Boeing had totally readdesigned this aircraft, and the aircraft the
way it was, they had tomove the engines slightly and it affected the
(18:07):
airflow over the aircraft so that whenit was flying, there was this tendency
for the nose of the aircraft tonose up just a bit. Now in
flight, if it noses up toomuch, it disrupts the airflow over the
wings and it could create a stall, and a stall is very bad in
aviation. So the thought is thatthey would develop this software system that would
cause the aircraft nose to come downjust a bit. If the program detected
(18:32):
that the nose was going up onthe aircraft, it was an automatic system.
It is called the MCAST system,and it was new. So what
happened was they put it on thisairplane and it malfunctioned, and it malfunctioned
to the point that it took controlof the airplane away from the pilots for
ten seconds as it tried to correctit, and then it would give pilots
(18:53):
control back for five seconds. Andwhat happened was we had two crashes where
pilots were fighting this new INCAST system, and here was the kicker. Boeing
told the pilots nothing about it,so they didn't know what they were fighting.
When American airline pilots went to Boeingengineers saying why didn't you tell us,
they said, well, we didn'twant to inundate you with a lot
(19:15):
of needless information. It wasn't eventhe checklist in their cockpit. So Boeing
for a number of years has hadissues with that system. They've since corrected
it, but it was obvious fora number of years they were hiding information
from pilots from airlines as well asthe FAA inspectors. They were fined quite
a bit of money for that,and they promised to turn things around,
(19:37):
but here we are again just afew years later, where they're back to
producing airplanes that aren't really ready tofly. And the bottom line is Airbus,
which is the European aircraft manufacturer.They're kicking Boeing's butt right now.
I mean, they're producing and sellingmore airplanes than Boeing, and Boeing's try
to keep up, and they're doingthat by trying to rush the production and
(20:00):
and that's why we're seeing the problemswe are. Wow, it's just so
scary. So it and since thishappened, and thankfully nobody was hurt,
but since this happened, United andAlaska say they did find on their planes
some bolts that were loosened and soand some that weren't. Yeah, some
that just were barely put on byhand. You could tell that they had
(20:22):
just started to threat them so theycould use the automated torquing system to tighten
them down. And those were neverdone. And some of the mechanics from
some of the airlines involved around theworld have sent me pictures. It's unbelievable
that that could be considered done.Nobody would see it and it would go
on. And the issue with Boeingis a number of years ago, they
(20:45):
got rid of a lot of theirinspectors. They started having their employees to
self check their own work. Now, some Boeing whistleblowers came out saying,
look, this is horrible because thatextra set of eyes would catch a lot
of problems that took place. Nowthat they've removed that, it's kind of
like, you know, you're inhigh school, you grade your own test.
Okay, thank you very much.We've got an A plus here.
(21:07):
But the production schedule is so rushedright now, and that so much pressure.
We're being told on the Boeing employeesthat it's a matter of schedule as
king, we've got to get theairplane out. And you're right. Boeing
used to be the industry world leaderin safety. They were the top of
the wrong but right now it almostseems as those safety is an afterthought.
(21:27):
And of course the CEO for Boeingis promising to be transparent, blah blah
blah. It's obvious that they didn'tlearn their lesson from just a few years
ago. They're still stuck on tryingto rush planes through production, and that's
one of the reasons right now we'reseeing a lot more airlines say look,
I'm going to buy my future airplanesfrom air Bus instead of going with an
(21:48):
American made product because we simply can'ttrust now that those airplanes are going to
be safe to fly. And notonly safe, this airplane that came out
from Boeing for last airline was inservice for ten weeks, so there's a
problem. And now you have totake all of those out of service for
like a week to inspect them.Well, for Alaska Airlines, that's twenty
percent of their fleet, So it'sa really becomes an issue where even if
(22:11):
it's not dangerous, which this couldhave been, it's an inconvenience and it
affects your bottom line. And whenthat confidence starts to erode, it affects
the decision makers for airlines and rightfullyso to go with the product that they
can better trust. Yeah, andit's like in an effort to compete Boeing
and shooting themselves in the foot.You mentioned the cancelations, Alaska has grounded
(22:33):
its Max nine fleet until at leastthis weekend so they can expect the planes.
And that's one hundred and fifty flightsa day, it is, and
that's just in friends selling those flights. It is, and you know,
thankfully this wasn't a month ago whenwe were dealing with a lot of you
know, soon to be holiday travelers. But it's still not convenient because we're
still seeing a lot of people thatare wanting to fly. I think United
(22:53):
has seventy two of these, butit's only about eight percent of their fleet,
so they're able to absorb this alittle bit easier than Alaska Airlines.
But the real key is, andkind of the question lingering in a lot
of people's minds. Are Okay,we had that issue at the end of
December where they said look for boltsloose in this part. We are now
finding loose bolts in this part.Are there other parts of the aircraft that
(23:15):
we're soon to find out that aren'tproperly secured that are going to start giving
us some problems? All right,Well, we will be watching and hopefully
this is going to lead to somechanges in some fixes. So thank you
so much for your information and expertise. Jay Ratliff appreciated a ton, Always
my pleasure. Thank you. Allright, Hey, this Sunday morning at
(23:36):
ten you can catch the action ofthe AFC Wildcard game between the Pittsburgh Steelers
and the Buffalo Bills on your radioHome of the NFL AM five seventy LA
Sports presented in part by Rotolo Chevrolet. See what the fun is all about
at Rotlo Chevrolet. Six crew membersof board a Navy helicopter that crashed into
the San Diego Bay have been rescuedfrom the water. Navy officials say the

MH sixty are our Seahawk helicopter wentdown last night during a training mission.
Happened around six forty near Naval Amphibiousbased Coronado. President Biden says the US
and UK strikes against Houthi rebels inYemen are in direct response to Hoothy attacks
against ships in the Red Sea.There have been twenty seven attacks. Biden
(24:18):
says the attacks by the US andUK were done with the support of Australia,
Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands. Officials say the attacks hit over
a dozen Hoothy targets in Yemen,including radar systems and drone storage. A
couple of Friends' scripts are being auctionedoff. The scripts from the one with
Ross's Wedding Part one and Part twowere supposed to have been destroyed after the
(24:41):
episodes were filmed in a suburb ofLondon so that the ending wouldn't be leaked.
But apparently a studio worker found thescripts in a dumpster, pulled them
out and put them in a drawer. The scripts are expected to be offered
up for between seven hundred and sixtyand one thousand dollars. Seems like they
would go for much much more thanthat. Hey, Hertz was all in
(25:02):
for the electric cars, but nowit's going to sell off a bunch of
them. I'll tell you about thatat five point fifty. What's new in
the theaters this weekend and the criticshave their say. On Sunday night,
we're going to be talking with ourentertainment guru, ABC's Jason Nathanson. But
right now it's time to talk aboutyour dream home. So let's say good
morning to the host of Home onKFI, the House Whisper. It's Dean
(25:23):
Sharp. Hey, Amy, howyou doing. I am fabulous. You
know We've talked several times about how, even though I'm not doing projects on
a home right now because I'm renting, I love listening to your show because
you kind of explain things. SoI'm super excited about what you're talking about
this weekend, and that is aboutbuilding your dream home. Yeah, even
(25:48):
though I got to admit it's notthe most exciting facet of building your dream
home that we'll be talking about thisweekend, but but it's super important,
and you know, I should justsay we're starting something a little different this
year. We're going to approach someof our topics a little differently this year.
Okay, Building your dream is aseries that I'm starting this weekend.
(26:11):
I don't know exactly how long it'sgoing to last us, and we'll have
a few interruptions along the way,but we're going to attempt to take the
process of building a dream home fromstep one to the end throughout the course
of this year, for however longit takes us. So we're kind of
doing, you know, a littlemasterclass on how to move through the process
(26:32):
of building a dream home this weekend. Step one so exciting. Yeah,
No, fact, finding your propertyprofile is basically what it comes down to.
And when I throw that out therefor exactly exactly, well, you
know it's this, Before you playthe game, you got to know the
rules. Nobody lives in the middleof nowhere, anymore. There's no more
(26:55):
unclaimed frontier where it's little house onthe prairie and you're like, well,
this looks like a good spot tobuild the family home. Everybody, every
house, everywhere, every square footof buildable property anywhere in this country falls
under some kind of governing jurisdiction.And to make the most of your money,
your time, your efforts, beforeyou even start to get serious about
(27:21):
design, a good conscientious homeowner shouldsub do their homework and pull up all
of the regulations, limitations, theprofile, the history of their home,
their property. I don't know.It doesn't matter whether it's just an empty
lot that's ready to build a brandnew home or whether you're remodeling. There's
(27:42):
a ton of stuff to learn aboutyour home before you even get started.
Because and this is what's critical.I don't want to limit anybody's ability to
dream or to build the home thatthey want. But I've seen so many
people waste time with all sorts ofdesigns and investments into architects and contractors,
(28:06):
only to find out when they getto the city that somebody there is wagging
their head saying you can't do that, you can't do that in this city.
And if the city decides you can'tdo it, there's not a lot
you can do about it, orcan you appeal it. If you go,
oh, I want to do this, design in the city goes no.
Yeah, you know, people talkabout that all the time. And
I've been involved in a couple ofappeals. One we actually moved forward,
(28:27):
with the other not. But byand large, these are hard and fast
rules. So an appeal has tohave a very very strong case that something's
being interpreted wrong or something like that. So generally speaking, no, when
the city says no, this isthe way it's got to be, then
guess what. This is the wayit has to be. And I know
(28:48):
that sets kind of a bummer constrainton some projects, but I always say
this as a designer, constraints catalyzeour creativity, right, And so we
got to we just need to knowwhere's the envelope, you know, what
are the boundaries that we're working in, and then we can, if we
work hard enough, come up withsomething that works really, really well.
(29:10):
But we don't want to waste ourdesign time and our design money working on
something that just is a pipe dreamin terms of this property in this city,
in this county, in this location. Okay, So here's a question
for you, because so basically you'resaying, you got to do your homework
before you really get started with yourproject. Do you do it or do
you have your designer do it,or your architect do it, or your
(29:33):
contractor do it? Who does thehomework? Well, most of the time
you're not going to have your contractordo it because a contractor, if if
we're building our dream in the properorder, comes along later down the road,
we're not right there right now.Now. Some people have a friend
who's a contractor who has experience,and they're going to do it as a
favor for them. That's, youknow, fine, But generally speaking,
(29:56):
for most people, the contractor issomebody who comes down the road. The
question is are you going to doit? Are you going to have your
architect or your design to do it? And that is really a question of
who do you want to pay totake the time to do all this.
So my encouragement this weekend, I'mgoing to be laying out the list of
things to be look for, theprofiling things that we want to find out,
(30:19):
the information that we want to findout about the property and The fact
of the matter is that a homeownercan save themselves a lot of money if
they just want to, you know, kind of hunker down, do their
own homework, make a visit tothe city, talk to the right people,
find out what they need to findout, and then present that to
your designer and say, okay,here's the profile of our property. Here's
(30:42):
what we already know. Designers loveit when you do that because we have
all the information we need right atthe outset. Right, and then you're
not wasting your time either. Okay, So I just give us a couple
of the things that we might notthink of that are things that come into
play that you have to consider.Well, okay, so you know,
(31:03):
right at the top of the list, and a lot of people don't know
that that their their property has aattract a parcel and a lot number on
it on the tax assessors map.That's super easy. Yeah, it's not
exciting at all, it's not andyet it is literally step one. Nothing
moves forward without that right and andin most municipalities in California you can find
(31:26):
that out online. The county hastax assessor maps online. You enter your
address, you get your parcel number, dad that kind of stuff. The
second question is who is actually incharge? You know in Los Angeles too,
exactly in Los Angeles it gets alittle uh foggy sometimes because we don't
know is this LA County? Isit LA City? Is it a local
(31:48):
city with their own building department?Got to find out who's in charge the
zoning designation. I'm shocked sometimes thatmore owners don't understand what their zone designation
for their property is. That saysan entire It says a huge amount about
what you can and can't do.And by zoning, I mean are you
(32:08):
zoned residential? What we call Rone? Is it R A, which
is residential slash agricultural. That's myproperty here. It's not an agricultural property.
It's not, you know, afarm. But we are ra So
some folks in our neighborhood have largeenough piece of property they can keep horses.
Not me. I don't have thenecessary square footage on my property,
(32:30):
but I have enough square footage tokeep chickens and technically one goat, one
goat. How do I know that? No, we don't. We don't
have a goat chickens because we wouldlike to have two goats. If we
had a goat, we'd like tohave two goats so they keep each other
coming. But we have chickens,Yeah, we have chickens. So but
the point is there's a there's asquare footage cut off the size of the
(32:53):
lot. If we were, youknow, a few hundred feet larger our
lot, then we would step upto the next level and be able to
have a different set of animals hereon the property like some of my neighbors
do. And if we are alittle bit smaller, we couldn't even do
the chickens. And that's the kindof information and profiling that I'm talking about
(33:14):
for your property. Know your zoning, know what that means in your city,
what's allowed, what's not allowed.We want to get a list as
best as possible of all the rulesthat we're going to have to work within,
and then we start designing within thoserules and not wasting time. I
love it. Here's a couple othersthat I'm looking at on your list that
I know you're going to be goinginto a lot more detail this weekend.
(33:36):
But things to think about, likehow tall can your house be? Heighth
limits, how much square footage canyou put on your lot? Are there
noise ordinances in your neighborhood and parkingallowances. How many spaces do you have
to have? And that's just likea couple of the what twenty thirty different
things that you need to look at. So I know you're going to dig
deeper into it, and you sayit might not be that interesting, but
(33:59):
I've find it fascinating and I betyour listeners will too. And you can
hear Dean Sharp this weekend. It'sHome with Dean Sharp on KFI six to
eight am Saturday, nine to noonon Sunday. You can also follow him
on Instagram at Home with Dean.Thanks Dean, Thanks Amy. We're going
to do our best to keep itfun and informative. That's that you always
(34:20):
do, you always do. Thanksso much. All right, let's get
back to some of the stories comingout of the KFI twenty four news from
the Biden administration is about to cancelstudent loan debt for borrowers who took out
smaller loans and are still struggling topay it off a decade later. You're
paying it for ten years. It'senough. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says the
Education Department will start automatically discharging debtsnext month for people who qualify and are
(34:44):
enrolled in an income driven repayment planrolled out last year. For those who
have borrowed the twelve thousand or lessafter ten years, they would be receiving
loan forgiveness. Nearly seven million borrowersare enrolled in the Save Replayment repayment program.
More than forty people in San Diegowho eight oysters from Mexico have been

near where an avalanche killed a manon Wednesday. SKI patrol searched the area
with dogs, probes and beacons yesterdayand said no one was hurt in the
avalanche. The areas expecting another footof snow as a new storm moves in.
(36:13):
Avalanche danger was in the high category, it's now going to be moderate

Trump wasn't supposed to talk and closingarguments for his civil fraud trial yesterday,
(36:59):
but he was able to get ina few words and was going to check
in on that. Right now.Let's say good morning to ABC's entertainment guru,
Jason Nathan's and Jason, let's getmean Yeah. Sure, we got
the Mean Girls coming out this weekend. Mean Girls is out this weekend,
the musical version of the original twothousand and four movie, which then went
(37:22):
on to become a Broadway musical.So this is the screen version of that,
And this is like the Color Purplething. It came out as a
movie, then went to Broadway,became a musical, and now it's a
musical movie exactly. But there wasa lot more time between the Color Purple
and when it came out in thetheaters and then went to Broadway and then
became a musical. This is,you know, two thousand and four,
(37:45):
Yes that's twenty years ago, butI think Mean Girls is one of those
films that is still on people's minds. They still watch it, they still
quote it, they still love it. And you know, it feels a
little soon. So when you're goinginto your like, okay, you're already
you got your guard up a littlebit, You're like, impress me do
something better than the original. Didmake this better in some way, and
(38:07):
unfortunately it just I'd rather go watchthe original film, Okay, not that
this is bad. And the youknow, the performances are good. And
you have Angery Rice, who playsthe Katie Herron role, which was made
famous by Lindsay Loewen, her firstkind of adult role. Remember, she
had been in Parent Trap and FreakyFriday and a couple of kids movies before
(38:28):
that, but this is the firstrole that really kind of broke her out
and she was fantastic in that,and the rest of the cast was so
good, and the cast here isgood. Reginia, the Regina George role,
is played by Renee Rapp, whois an up and coming actress and
also a great singer. The songs, to me don't really add a whole
lot to this, normally they don't. Anyway. I'm not a huge musical
(38:52):
fan, but I do like thegenre and like it on this stage.
That's where I like. The musicalis better. Yeah, and that's where
I think this probably should have stayed. I think people who went and saw
the Broadway version loved that as well. It did very, very well.
It was very successful. But thisyou're just going to compare it to the
(39:14):
original, and I would say theoriginal is still fresh enough. It doesn't
feel like an old movie at allor dated it anyway, you know,
kind of just watch the original thatit's going to do well this weekend.
It's going to top the box officeand they're looking at I think thirty million
dollars for the extended holiday weekend.Okay, And if you don't want to
head out to the theaters this weekend, we have new streaming on Hulu called
(39:37):
Self Reliance. What's that? Yeah? This is a movie from Jake Johnson,
who you might remember from New Girl. He wrote and directed and stars
in this. This is his directorialfilm directorial debut. He plays a guy
who can win a million dollars ifhe survives for thirty days on a dark
web reality show in which he's beinghunted, and he figures out a loophole
(40:00):
in which that he can if he'swith somebody the whole time, they can't
kill him. So he has tobe with somebody, has to find somebody
to stay with him the whole time. So it's kind of his quest to
find somebody who will stay with him. You know, his family doesn't believe
that he's actually telling the truth,and the whole thing it devolves into it's
a dark comedy, and it devolvesinto it gets darker and darker, and
(40:22):
the whole time you're wondering, isthis real? Is this actually happening?
And he plays a lot with that. I like the way that he does
play with that. Anna Kendrick alsoco stars. Yeah, and she's great
and just about everything. I wantedthis to be a little sharper, a
little funnier, to make it kindof an instant classic, because I really
do love the premise. And whenI talked to Jake Johnson, he said
(40:44):
he based it off a Japanese gameshow in the late nineteen nineties where a
guy was stuck in an apartment withnothing. He was naked. This actually
aired on Japanese television. He wasnaked and stuck in an apartment. He
couldn't leave, and he didn't haveanything food, he had no clothes,
he had no you know, nothingin the apartment, and he had to
win little prizes by there were Ithinks like newspaper cutouts and coupons and things.
(41:09):
He had to win prizes. Solike at one point he won a
bag of rice and he was soexcited, and then he had nothing to
cook the rice in. And soJake Johnson kind of took that premise and
expanded it into this, and Ithink it's, you know, a very
interesting meditation on the loneliness we facetoday, the isolation that we faced today,
(41:30):
and other kind of social stuff.So I like the areas he explores.
It's not quite there, but Idid enjoy it. Okay. So
whether you're staying home or going tothe theaters, you have options this weekend.
Thank you so much, Jason Nathanson. If you want to follow Jason,
go to at ABC News. Jason, have a great weekend, you
(41:52):
too. Take care. All right, here are some of the stories.
Let's get back to some of thestories coming out of the KFI twenty four
our newsroom. US and British militarieshave joined forces in a massive retaliatory strike
against Iranian back Houthi rebels in Yemen. Retired US Marine Colonel Steve Ganyard says
they don't want to just go afterindividual launchers and drone sites. They want
(42:12):
to be able to take out allof the Houthy military capabilities of disrupting commercial
shipping in the Red Sea. Ganyardsays that's why they took out more than
a dozen larger targets where Hooty weaponscould be stored in Yemen. The Houti
say at least five people were killed. President Biden says the strikes yesterday were
to show the US and its allieswill not tolerate the group's ceaseless attacks on
(42:35):
the Red Sea. Protesters have gatheredin front of the White House to condemn
the US for its strikes in Yemen. Crowds could be heard last night chanting
hands off Yemen. Now. Somewarned there's a real danger of triggering a
regional war in the Middle East.Fruit Striped gum has been discontinued. The
gum in the colorful pack with thezebra on front. It was one of
my favorites as a kid, hasbeen around since nineteen sixty nine. The
