You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. It's five o'clock. This is your wake up call for Friday, April nineteenth. I'm Amy King. We made it through the work. I've said this before. I always think it's so silly when people say that, or I've always traditionally thought that, But now that I work like Monday through Friday, like
most normal people, I get it very excited on Friday morning. So thanks for getting your days arded. Oh my goodness, we have so much going on. It just you know, there's never a dull moment, So I appreciate you taking the time to listen and you know, find out what's going on in the world while you were sleeping. Very importantly, it's Sylvester the Cat Day. With all the cred going on, I think we need a
little comedy relief. And speaking of comedy relief, so Nick Pella Jochini was on IG yesterday and came across a post that I have to share with you. So he sends this to me and he's like, oh my god, you have to see this. So it's a picture of a big kind of red hen, just a big chicken, and it's got the mountains with the snow in the background, and it's from half Doughnut Jess, and she says,
oh, this is out in pair Blossom. As many of you know, an important part of my routine involves having the radio on most of the day. She says, she's a crazy animal person. She names her chickens after people in her life. Sometimes it's someone she knows, sometimes it's a character from a show. Sometimes it's a TV or radio person. So she says she has a six year old rooster named Wayne Resnik. She had one named Bill, but apparently it had some behavior issues or something. So Bill
is living somebody somewhere else. And she said the real purpose of this post, though, was to introduce one of my newest hens, Amy King, you made it. I'm a chicken. So if someone goes, hey, are you a chicken? I can go yeah. Anyway, here's what's ahead on wake up Call back to more serious stuff. Israel has launched a retality toury strike against Iran. US officials confirm missiles have struck a number of locations,
including near an air base linked to Iran's nuclear program. The International Atomic Energy Agency says it can confirm that none of the sites sustained any damage. We're gonna be talking with ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem to get the latest on this developing story. A third group of jurors is said to be questioned in Donald Trump's hush money case. Lawyers are looking for alternates now that the jury of twelve has been seated. We're going to be talking with ABC's Peter Hara
Lumbus in just a couple of minutes. He's in the courtroom, so can't wait to hear his perspective. There's sabotage at the Sacramento Airport. It stopped air traffic for about ten hours yesterday. We're also going to be catching up with ABC's Jason Nathanson. Taylor Swift's new album has dropped. We're going to find out what's new on the stream and in theaters as well. And I think one of the things that he's going to tell us about is pretty spooky
and scary. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A US official says Israel has carried out a military strike inside Iran in response to a barrage of missiles and drones fired at Israel over the weekend. ABC's Tom Soufi Burridge says has played it down on State TV. It's saying that nuclear facilities in that area are completely untouched.
They're showing scenes of normalcy in the city of Isfahan this morning. And the other crucial point is that the Raili government of just not owning this strike whatsoever. A second US official says the US was given advanced notice yesterday of an intended Israeli strike, but didn't endorse the response. President Biden told Israel's Prime minister that he should consider Iran's strike a win since it was mostly unsuccessful.
A key member of Israel's war cabinet had pushed for a swift response. Secretary of State Antony Blincoln was asked about the reported strike while meeting with G seven ministers in Italy. I'm not going to speak to what's been reported, other than to say that the United States has not been involved in any offensive operations. The United States, along with our partners will continue to work for de
escalation. He also condemned Iran's attack against Israel last weekend. Speaker Mike Johnson has set of House votes on at Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan and a separate bill for the border. His actions defy the conservative wing of his party and could lead them to call for him to be ousted as speaker. Funding for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan they're expected or the votes are expected to happen tomorrow. More than nine hundred thousand Californians are supporting a measure that would help
fight homelessness, drug addiction, and retail theft. The measure would reform Prop. Forty seven, which was passed in twenty fourteen to reduce low level drug and theft convictions. President of the National Diversity Coalition, Faith Bautista says she spoke with one man who shut down his business because of vandalism. He's spending money on security guards after security guards. By the time he always has no
more money. You guys are hurting the economy. The measure will make it to the November ballot with the goal of holding repeat drug and theft defenders accountable and giving drug addicts a choice between jail time and treatment. Chris Adler KFI News, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office is at and T fiber line have been
cut, causing an internet outage at Sacramento International Airport. Looked like it was a very deliberate act and intentional act from their alerted Sheriff's office and airport personnel. So we went out there and took a look, began the investigation. Since then, we've actually involved the FBI. First reports of the phone and internet outages came in about one thirty yesterday morning. Service wasn't restored for ten
hours. Delta and Southwest had to delay flights. None were actually canceled than departures resumed at around eleven forty. None of the safest cities in California are in La County. A recent report from Safewise says the safest cities in California are Rancho, Santa Margarita, Aliso Viejo, Your Belinda, Laguna Miguel, and Mission Viejo. The rankings are based on FBI data. It's five oh
eight on your wake up call. Let's say good morning now to Peter Haralambus with ABC and we're excited to talk to Peter again this week because Peter is going to be in the courtroom today for President or former President Trump's jury selection. And as with anything that has to do with former President Trump, there is never a dull moment hump here at all moment for sure. We now have twelve jurors seeing in this the store trial against the former president, but
it didn't happen without a few speed bumps yesterday. The morning began with actually losing two of the jurors that got seated on Monday. One of them expressed concerns about her information becoming public and also the fact that she couldn't be fair and impartial. Another one potentially was arrested in the nineteen nineties for tearing down
political posters in Westchester, New York. They were promptly dismissed by both parties, but that left it down to five jurors, though we ultimately we're able to see an additional eight, leading us to the twelve total to hear the case and one alternate. The goal for today is to get five more alternate jurors so we could have opening statements in this case as early as Monday.
Wow as early as Monday. Okay, so when we talked earlier this week, because you were in the courtroom then and you're in the courtroom now, you had said that it was really kind of tense. So what's the vibe now. It was stressful. I mean, there were some moments that were
remarkable to watch. On one hand, the former president had to sit there so in face as jurors offered different reviews of his presidency, one juror saying that she didn't like the way Trump behaves in public, his personality, describing in us not her cup of tea. Other jurors praised him for the work she did, for example, managing an ice skating rink in Central Park,
or as entrepreneurial spirit, as another entrepreneur perspective juror said. But at the end of the day the jurors were seated, the president was largely mum on the actual jurors, complying with the limited gag order in the case. He's been the man a few words. Yesterday he only made one speech in the hallway, compared to his normal half dozen remarks that he might give over the course of the day. Yeah, a man of few words. That's not
what you normally associate with former President Trump. So one of the things that he did say when he came out of the hallway was that the courtroom is dismal and depressing, and he said it was cold. Did you find it to be cold? Very fair of the former president. It is freezing in that courtroom. It was like forty to fifty degrees yesterday in New York. They didn't turn on the heating. The judge explained that if they turn on
the heating or heating or become unbearably warm. So the former president's lawyers, even at the formerly asked the judge, so please turn on the heat. As he was exiting the courtroom before the lunch break, Trump told me I was one of the poor reporters. Is it cold enough in here? He remarks to us. So to President Trump's point, it was pretty frigid in that courtroom all day. I will tell you that that criticism was pretty fair. And hopefully they turn on the heating today. Okay, well maybe you
should bring a jacket just in case. Okay, So that's Peter Haralambuos. Thank you so much. It's going to be interesting to follow this because Peter is in the courtroom today, and he's going to be in the courtroom through the whole trial, so I'm looking forward to checking in with him and getting updates. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour news room. Governor Newsom and state lawmakers have announced nearly two hundred million dollars in new state funds to help move people out of homeless camps and into housing. People. I've had it. They're fed up. I've had it. I've fed up. I know the mayors and the city administrators are fed up as well. People want to see these tents and encampments remove, but they want to see them removed in a compassion and thoughtful way.
The governor also says they'll take new steps to increase oversight of state homelessness funding to make sure the money is spent the way it's intended. And LAPD officer has been arrested for allegedly tampering with evidence and stealing items during traffic and pedestrian stops. The arrest follows a complaint last year that two LAPED officers searched a person's car without consent. Official say investigators discovered a pattern of officers intentionally not
turning on their body cameras and failing to properly note traffic stops. LA could pay fifteen million dollars to save one hundred and six affordable housing units in Chinatown. The owner of the Hillside Villa in Chinatown refused to sell the building to the city after a thirty year agreement to keep affordable units expired. Some tenants saw their rent triple and now owe back rent. At today's city council meeting, an offer of fifteen million dollars to the owner could be approved to require
affordability for another fifteen years. The owner can also collect back rent with interest. Councilman Unsses Hernandez says she's working with the tenants. As a city, it is in our interest to preserve every unit of affordable housing that we have and to protect vulnerable tenants from being displaced from their homes. Hernandez also wants the city to pay for the back rent, but right now that's not part
of the deal. Michael Monks KFI News. A new poll from Harvard has found fewer than one in ten young Americans think the US is headed in the right direction. That's about nine percent fifty eight percent of voters between eighteen and twenty nine years old say the nation is generally going the wrong way. More than half say they planned to vote for President Biden in the November election.
Italy's foreign ministers is the US told G seven foreign ministers that Israel has warned it was going to carry out a drone strike on Iran, and it did. US officials confirm missiles have struck a number of locations inside Iran, including near an airbase, which is linked to Iran's nuclear program. Border patrol agents have seized more than five million dollars in drugs in San Diego over just the last two weeks. Agents say they found fifty two people carrying fourteen hundred pounds
of drugs between April first and April fourteenth. Taylor Swift's new album has dropped. The Tortured Poets Department features sixteen tracks, including the first Signal, a single, Fortnite featuring Post Malone. Swift has also released a short clip of her new video for Fortnite, which will debut tonight at five o'clock hour time. Merch for The Tortured Poets Department is available at Taylorswift dot com and is reportedly selling out Taylor Swift is so good at market at six h five.
It's handled on the news, and you can bet he's going to have a thing or two to say about Israel's retaliatory airstrike. Can we say good morning to Jordana? We can. We've got Jordana Miller on the phone with us. She is in Jerusalem, and we hadn't planned to talk to her today, but I think it's appropriate that we do talk to you today because,
oh boy, a whole lot happened overnight. That's right, according to US officials and even Israeli officials in the United States who have confirmed Israel carried out its retaliatory strike against Iran overnight, hitting a military base in central Iran near the city of Isfahan. That is a well known city because it's also home to some of Iran's nuclear facilities. Israel knows this part of Iran very well.
In fact, it has carried out carried out other drone attacks there in you know, different times over the last few years during the Shadow War. So this, you know, was we could say, a quote unquote easy target for Israel. The drones were likely launched either from Iranian soil with the help of either opposition groups or kur Kurdish allies, or the drones could have come from Azerbaijan, a nearby ally of Israel's that borders are on. We
don't know the real extent of the damage. It appears to be limited damage. Some the Iranians are claiming nothing was damaged and they shot down the drones. It does appear, though, that both sides are really laying low. I mean, Israel has not claimed the attack publicly. The Prime Minister hasn't
said anything, Defence Minister, the head of the army. It's as if it never happened, which is very typical of the way Israel operates during its shadow war against Iran, and Iran is playing down the attack, not blaming Israel directly, and even some Iranian officials saying they won't retaliate. We retaliate, even though they'd threatened that even the quote unquote tiniest of attacks, and this was a pretty tiny attack would be met with a fierce response. It
doesn't look like Iran wants to test the United States again. And that coalition that, to its surprise, came together in a very short period to defend Israel and really humiliated Iran in the first attack, despite what Iran says, you know, just a few rockets made it through out of over nearly three hundred and fifty. So right now it appears maybe the arch enemies has retreated to the shadow war again. Maybe this is the end of this chapter.
It looks like that's the case. Do you think, shor Dana, I mean, it sounds just listening to you describe what happened that it was almost like Israel was firing a warning shot, like saying, hey, guys, we can get to you. If they fired and hit near a nuclear facility, they could have hit it if they wanted. Well, right, clearly, that's part of the message. Remember in this city, it's not where they actually hit an airbase out right near East Behan, it's not far from
where the nuclear facility is. They didn't Israel did not target the nuclear facility. But clearly the message was we can get through your air defense systems. We didn't need to shoot. We didn't need to I mean the messages. We didn't need to shoot hundreds to get two or three in. We shot two or three or five in and we got them in. So you know, your air defense systems are not so great. Be careful. It's not the right time for us to go to war. But know, you know,
we can, we can get to you. And Israel's you know, they've they've carried out a lot of attacks on Iranian soil. They just don't always make the headlines. Yeah, I mean Iran, you know, Israel a few years ago, under the nose of Iran, Israel in Tehran airlifted thousands and thousands of documents out of a warehouse in Tehran that detailed Israel,
detailed Iron's atomic weapons program. Right, there was no no direct attack on Israel then, I mean, Iran clearly took advantage of the war in Gaza where it thought Israel was weak for various reasons, and launched that attack. Found out it was wrong, and you know, Aaron got a little bit of a little flap back, and hopefully that'll be it for now. Obviously,
the United States and the White House very relieved. They were working the back channels on this with Israel and the region, sending messages to Iran that you know, you know well, you know, and to not make a huge retaliatory strike, and asking Isral to show restraint, which in the end, after days of deliberations, they did. Okay, Well, if they're going back in their corners, I hope they are, and this kind of de escalates it. Maybe they accomplished what they needed to We sure hope.
So all right, Jerdana, thank you so much for the time and the information and the update from Jerusalem this morning. Have a great weekend you too. All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A body has been found inside a stolen U Haul truck in LA's mid City area. A person yesterday reported something of foul smelling from the truck was at the intersection of Apple Street and Redondo Boulevard.
Officers and a U Haul employee then found the body wrapped in a tarp in the back of the truck. Blood was also found inside. The truck had been stolen about a week ago. The attorney in charge of OJ Simpson's estate says he's willing to work on a settlement with the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown. In nineteen ninety seven, Simpson was found liable for the deaths of Goldman and Brown. In order to pay thirty three and a half
million dollars. Malcolm Laverne says he's been Simpson's attorney for fifteen years and had told the media he was going to work to make sure the Goldman's never received a penny from the estate. But now he's done a one to eighty. The attorney hat now has come off all right, and the executor hat has come on two different roles. So I have to get used to that learning curve. I've never been to the executive of an estate, Laverne told TMC.
Simpson lived off of two pensions and Social Security and then he made under four hundred thousand a year. Steve Gregory kay if I News. Two planes have come close to colliding at Reagan National Airport in Washington, d C. A Jet Blue flight was cleared for takeoff yesterday, while a Southwest plane was cleared across the runway. At the same time. Air traffic controllers frantically radioed each plane to stop. We were cleared to cross from way four. Yikes,
could you hear that panic? The two planes stopped about four hundred feet apart. That's just crazy. You're used to them, you know, speaking very calmly and Coolly.

who break the law in California appears to be headed to the ballot. Supporters say they've turned in nine hundred thousand signatures to get the measure to overturn parts of Prop forty seven in California on the November ballot. That's more than double the number needed. Pro Palestinian groups have marched across the USC campus in protest of USC's decision to cancel its valedictorian's commencement speech. USC said it was done
because of safety concerns over anti Semitic posts on social media. Care has started a petition urging USC to reverse its decision. It's got thirty eight thousand signatures so far. The Clippers Kawhi Leonard has been named as one of twelve players on the US US Olympic men's basketball team. Leonard is from Riverside. He played for San Diego State and is now, of course, an LA Clipper. He's one of five first time Olympians on the team who will play in
Paris this summer. At six ZH five, it's handle on the news. Israel has retaliated against Iran's strike over the weekend. He's gonna have a lot to say about that. At I P. Fifty we're gonna be talking with Jason Nathanson to find out if Taylor Swift fans are actually losing their minds. And if you're looking for a good scare, Abigail is here. But right now, Dean Sharp is here, the house whisper and host of Home on KFI. Dean, let's go to the garage. Sounds good, sounds good,
Amy gets where every man wants to be. Right, Uh, well, you know, give me the thumbs up on that one. All right, fine, any you know you know the garage it has traditionally, I guess, been the domain of men either out there getting stuff done or escaping from the rest of them. You're saying that they need to get away from their crazy wives. Oh I'm saying. I'm not saying they need to. I'm not saying they need to, and I'm not even buying into the idea
that it's a man's domain. In fact, I would argue these days, honestly with DIY. You know what, the DIY, the entire DIY industry, the numbers are are skewed female these days by about fifty five to forty five percent. And so I guess you could say that maybe it's time for the garage to become a you know, an official, full fledged she shed. I do like a good garage. You would be you would be very excited if you saw my garage. I think, why is that? Because
it is so organized? Oh, I have room for two cars. I've got a whole wall of things in tubs, and and I painted the garage before I moved in. My mom said, you'll never You'll never regret painting your garage walls. Oh well she was right about that, And I am impressed. Two cars you know here are The number is just so everybody knows. Twenty five percent of homeowners never use their garage for parking. Thirty three percent, on top of that, can only fit one car inside. And
I always say the other two percent are liars. So there you go. But I believe you. I have seen people actually fit two cars in a so called two car garage. The problem is not the organizational status. It's just that most garages that are called two car garages. They're about eighteen feet
wide older houses garages or eighteen feet wide, which always baffles me. I think they were actually came up with those dimensions when we were driving like five foot wide Model A's, But an eighteen foot wide garage is a real challenge to get two cars in at the same time. So kudos to anybody who is so organized that they can do it. Okay, what's some other stuff that we need to know about our garage that you're going to be sharing with
us this weekend. Well, we're going to dive all the way into all the things that you can do with a garage, right we're talking. Garage is a great flex space in my opinion, it's three hundred and fifty to four hundred square feet of with tons of potential that an area you can move into if you don't want it to just be a place for your car, that it can become a recording studio, the game room, the kids room, a storage area, media room, an ADU that's hugely important to so
many people these days. It's a space that actually literally can become attributable square footage to your house. It's not right now, by the way, if anybody wonders, the square footage of your house does not count for the garage square footage, but if you make it an accessory dwelling unit with the city, then it will become part of the square footage of the house. So
there are so many things that the garage can be. We're going to get into it, but there are definite things that you need to know about the garage. For instance, technically, until you make it something like an ADU, the garage is outside outside, meaning that that's how the code treats the
garage. A lot of people don't realize this that, for instance, there's no problem putting HVAC or heating or cooling into a garage, but it can't be sharing the system that the rest of your house is running off on because the separate system. Well, yes, because a duct that runs, let's say, out of your attic HVAC unit into the garage makes a big old hole in the firewall separation that is technically the outside wall of the house.
So there is a twenty minute firewall separation between the garage space and the rest of your house, which is why for those of you who have older garages unfinished garages where the studs are exposed, you know, and there's no ceiling, dry wall or anything like that. That's why the wall that the garage shares with the house is actually plastered. I mean it's stucco. There's smooth stucco against that wall. They didn't do the rest of the walls because those
don't matter. But that shared wall is a fire wall between the garage and the house because the garage is a place where you know, there could be noxious fumes and there's paint, and there's chemicals and the chance of fire out there. Do not want that spread easily into the house. So we are not supposed to be making penetrations in between that wall and the rest of the house. So it's technically outside. Oh what did you do, Amy, No, I didn't do anything deep. I wouldn't break the rules. So
that's the door in between the garage and the house. It has to be a heavy, solid core twenty minute door, just it just as heavy as the front door to the house. It can't be a hollow core door. It can't be a typical door like got to be. It can't be like a bedroom door. It can't be. It can't be like a hollow bedroom door, and ideally it should have. In most municipalities it's required to have a self closing hinge. And that's all because of that fire separation, because
the code really sees the garage as an outside space. Okay, and we're going to talk garages, and we didn't get to get to this one, which I think is one of the big things. And instead the garage is is like it's bigger than your front door. It's the first thing that people see, and so many are so ugly, but there's some things you can
do to make them look really cool. Oh yeah, for sure, if you have a garage forward house or your garage faces the street, chances are architecturally speaking, obviously not in reality, but architecturally speaking, the garage door is more important than the front door as far as the presentation to curb appeal. So don't skimp on the garage door because it's important. Ye. One of the fabulous tips that you will get when you listen to Dean Sharp on
Home with Dean Sharp here on KFI this weekend. You're on six to eight on Saturday, nine to noon on Sunday. They can follow you at Home with Dean, So many ways to find you, and I can't wait to hear you. Always make seemingly mundane things very interesting. You know what, We've all got to deal with them, So I try to do my best. Hey, and on Sunday, ye don't forget to give me a call right in the middle of wiggle Waggle Walk. We'll put you on the air
and we'll get some last minute wagglers in there. That would be great. I will call you from the wiggle waggle Walk on Sunday. Sounds good, Thanks Dean, Thanks Dane. Israel has launched a retaliatory strike against Iran. Flight tracking website flight Radar twenty four says flights were diverted over Iranian airspace zones entered it. Israel had vowed to respond to an Iranian attack earlier this week. Secretary of State Blinken says the US was not involved in any offensive operations.
The FAA is investigating a near miss on a runway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport outside Washington, d C. It happened yesterday morning when a plane crossed the runway as another one was just starting its takeoff. The plane's southwest flight and the other was a Jet Blue. We're about three to four hundred feet from each other. The San Francisco Zoo says it's getting giant pandas from China. The zoo says it is going to renovate an existing enclosure to make
room for the pandas. The San Diego Zoo is also expected to get pandas from China. We're just minutes away from Handle on the news, and as I mentioned, Israel has launched a retaliatory strike. Bill's gonna weigh in on that right now. Let's say good morning to ABC's entertainment guru Jason Nathanson. Jason, we have to start with Taylor Swift because one of our editors,
Carla, says her daughter Ashley, has lost her mind. Yes, the text messages were going fast and furious back and forth last night at nine pm when this dropped, and then honestly, I went to sleep. I missed the drop of the double album. Oh no, So I listened to the first album the whole way through, and then two. There's two. It's
a double it's a double album, thirty one songs. Yeah, so we got the first sixteen at nine I listened to that most of the way through and then kind of fell asleep listening to it just to kind of get a sense of what it was. I'm not a music critic, so I'm not going to give my opinion on it, but I wanted to hear what was going on. And you know, it's a breakup album she and if you've been following her love life, you know who she's broken up with over the
past couple of years. And these there are some vicious songs in there, and you know, some pointed lyrics, as one can expect from Taylor Swift. And I know a lot of people are very, very excited. Our own Alex Stone was texting me breathlessly going over all the lyrics and his favorite songs. The ABC News department in the LA Bureau is big Swift fans, so there's a lot of conversation back and forth all about that. So I
bet you people are gonna be dissecting and discussing these lyrics all weekend. And we'll see what happens with the numbers. But we should get a sense at some point later today or maybe tomorrow of what those first day streams were like
and whether or not they broke records. And then She's got her Her video is coming out tonight at five, the video for the first song, Fortnite, the first single, although I don't really understand in this day and age, especially when you drop an album all at once and it's streaming everywhere. You have all the songs, so the point of a single doesn't really make sense to me. I know they're gonna push it to radio and that kind of thing, but the point of a single unless you release it before the
album comes out. I don't understand the point of a single when the albums are aready out. But that said, Fortnite is the first single. We'll get a video for that at like you mentioned, at five. And people are going to be watching Coachella very heavily this weekend, Taylor Swiss fans included, because there are all kinds of rumors and buzz that they think she showed
up last weekend with boyfriend Travis Kelce. She was in the audience. She is very good friends with many of the people performing, including Lena del Rey, who you might remember. She brought up Lona Delray on stage at the Grammys when she won this past time. A lot of people are really expecting Taylor to pop up on that stage with Lona del Rey. It was Billie Eilish. I think last week we'll see she's great friends with Sabrina Carpenter,
who's been opening on her tour. Sabrina is also playing this weekend, so a lot of people are expecting and hoping and disappointed if we don't see her at Coachella, which, by the way, you can stream all of Coachella on YouTube. Oh nice. Okay, yeah, So speaking of watching things on screens, let's get to the real purpose of this phone called Abigail. A horror movie. It's out this weekend. A horror movie with a lot of comedy in it, which I really appreciated because I'm not a horror movie
fan. I'm not especially the really like serious horror movies like The First Omen, which just came out recently, which people liked. I didn't get tensity, but not my cup of tea. Abigail is one of those movies that is so much fun to see in the theaters because it is it is funny. It is you know, people just explode and there's blood everywhere danced.
Dan Stevens is one of the stars, said that they filmed this in Ireland, and they basically drained Ireland of all of its fake blood because they used so much of it. Okay, and the basic premises they a bunch of bad guys kidnap a twelve year old girl who is the daughter of a very powerful guy. They're hoping to get a fifty million dollar ransom. They take her to a house, but what they don't realize is that she's actually a tween vampire, a tween ballerina vampire, and she starts to go nuts and
kill everybody. So it's basically it's one of those stories. A bunch of people locked in the house and they got to figure out what to do again. A lot of fun, a lot of fun in the theater, a lot of people screaming and laughing and clapping and doing those kinds of things. Out of ten, I give this one an eight point three. A lot of fun, okay. And then Superman has a movie, except it's not Superman. It's just Henry Cavill, Yes, the guy who plays Superman.
Henry Cavill in Guy Ritchie's new movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which is based on a book which is based on actual true history of Winston Churchill's recently declassified notes and stuff from World War Two. This stuff came out in twenty
sixteen, so we didn't know. This was the start of basically and off the books Black Ops thing during World War Two, where a bunch of guys who were you know, some of them were prisoners, some of the people that they couldn't really officially give them this operation too, but they needed to get it done and they helped get the Americans the Allies across the Atlantic by screwing up the German U boats. That was their goal, that was their
mission. And so this kind of tells this story fascinating history, including one of the military officials who was in charge of this, a guy named Ian Fleming, who became the author of James Bond and a lot of James Bond has its roots in this actual mission itself, which you'll see when you watch the movie. So the story behind it, which was based on a book, fascinating the movie itself. Okay, maybe not if this were done perfectly.
I mean the story I just told you was pretty fascinating. That's like Oscar Worthy stuff. This is it's guy Ritchie. So there are a lot of people getting killed in very interesting ways. It's actually a little slow at times, but the story itself is absolutely fascinating. So I give that a six point nine out of ten. Okay, and with that we are out of time.
