21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,480

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,880

29
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,360

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 5: be here early, that's understandable. And then Trey Alexander is

32

33
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 4: Year's Eve? I did.

34
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 8: I hung out with some friends, but I was in

00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,320

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 5: like when you got to get up early, you got

38
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 5: to go to bed early. Otherwise I think we'd all

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 5: be hurt in this morning, for sure. I've learned my

40
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 5: lesson when when I was younger, I used to think, Ah,

41
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 5: I could do it.

42
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 4: I can stay up late, But not so much anymore.

43
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,600

Speaker 5: the year ahead.

71

73
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 5: Is there anything you're finally ready to say yes to

74

Speaker 5: involved in the show today and hear from you later on. Then,

77
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 5: at six oh five, a deadly fire at a New

78
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 5: Year's party in the Swiss ski resort of Cran's, Montana

79
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 5: left dozens of people dead and about one hundred people injured.

80
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 5: We're going to tell you what investigators think may have

81
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 5: started that fire. So Cal, as you've heard, is in

82
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 5: the middle of a powerful rainstorm right now, with steady

83
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 5: downpours already causing flooding in some areas and creating dangerous

84
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 5: conditions on the roads and hillsides. Joining us now is

85
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 5: Andrew Rourke with the National Weather Service.

86
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: Good morning, Andrew, Good morning, and Happy New Year to you.

87
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 4: Happy New Year to you as well.

88
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 9: Well.

89
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 5: It's turning out to be a very wet New Year's Day.

90
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: We knew this was coming. What are you seeing right

91
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 5: now in terms of rainfall totals in which parts of

92
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 5: SoCal are getting hit the hardest.

93
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 6: The storm is too much, affecting the entire areas. I

94
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 6: think California right now, areas flatter air areas of the

95
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 6: coasts and valleys have received about half inch to three

96
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 6: quarters of an inch so far, with more on the way.

97
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 6: Areas near the foothills, which unfortunately does include Pasadena, we

98
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 6: have received three quarters of an inch to an inch

99
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 6: so far, and the usual higher amounts also occurring in

100
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 6: the mountains. Lots of minor nuisance flooding on the roads

101
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 6: out there. We have flood advisories covering most of La

102
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 6: County right now, just for those of flood underpasses and

103
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 6: pleasured roadways, and the weeks in the hills might be

104
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 6: a little bit bubbling too.

105
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 5: So what would you say are some of the biggest

106
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 5: concerns at this point? Is it flooding or mudslides, debris flow?

107
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 5: What are the biggest areas of concern?

108
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 6: Really, the biggest area concerns all the poor people of

109
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 6: the parade. The storm is actually behaving fairly well. The

110
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 6: rainfall rates are below the critical threshold. So all this

111
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 6: being right now is producing the urban flooding, the roadway flooding,

112
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 6: which is the biggest concern because drivers just need to

113
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 6: respect those wet roads and slow a little bit down,

114
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 6: give themselves for following distances.

115
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I actually decided not to take the freeway into

116
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 5: work today because last week during the storms, I hydroplane

117
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 5: just a little bit and it made me very nervous.

118
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 5: So I was like, you know what, I'm going to

119
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 5: take surface streets to work this morning. If you have

120
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 5: to be out and about, just go slow. And what

121
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 5: are some other tips for people who can be safe

122
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 5: on the roads If they have to be out and

123
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 5: about today.

124
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 6: They have to be those you know, speed is the

125
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 6: big thing, and you know, just be aware of all

126
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 6: the people around you because it might not be your

127
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 6: bad driving, it could be somebody else's. And whatever you do,

128
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 6: do not try to go across flooded you know, deeply

129
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 6: flooded roadways, because it just does not take that much

130
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 6: water to float a car aways. I saw last week

131
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 6: in the Anlow Valley.

132
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: See that's good advice.

133
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 5: I always tell my daughter, who is twelve and already

134
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 5: asking about driving someday.

135
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 4: I always tell her, Listen.

136
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 5: You could be the best driver in the world, but

137
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 5: you've got to be aware of everybody around you.

138
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 4: You know, you never know what who else is out there.

139
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 5: How much more rain are we expecting before this system

140
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 5: moves out of our area?

141
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 6: Well, the good news is moving out of the area. Wise,

142
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 6: it's going to be about a little bit before noon,

143
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 6: so we should do our conditions. The actual football game

144
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 6: should be fairly dry, but we're going to look for

145
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 6: another half inch to three quarters of an inch falling

146
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 6: during the rest of the morning.

147
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 5: Okay, so we mentioned the people in the recent burn areas,

148
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 5: what should they be watching for right now and when

149
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 5: should they consider leaving or calling.

150
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: For hope.

151
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 6: They should leave if, for instance, any emergency official tells

152
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 6: them to leave, we will coordinate them instantly with urgency

153
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 6: officials if we see something threatening. There is a ten

154
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 6: percent chance of a thunderstorm today. So on the off

155
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 6: chance that ten percent chance with thunderstorm comes true, and

156
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 6: then that thunderstorm goes over a burn area, which you

157
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 6: know when they're now we're talking pretty low probability, that

158
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 6: could cause them more serious to reflow. So people near

159
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 6: those of refailar areas, if they hear the police or

160
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 6: law enforcement telling telling them to move to evacuate them,

161
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 6: that's what they got to do without hesitation.

162
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 5: Now, thunderstorms are pretty rare in southern California. I grew

163
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 5: up in Oklahoma, so I'm very familiar with thunderstorms and

164
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 5: instantly can tell the difference whenever we've got, you know,

165
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 5: just a rainstorm versus a thunderstorm. Are are we getting

166
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 5: a thunderstorm today? Do you think that's the high probability?

167
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 6: No, there's only a ten percent chance and definitely not

168
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 6: Oklahoma monsters. Thunderstorms where ours are. Ours are a lot lower,

169
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 6: a lot shorter duration, and curtainly a lot less severe.

170
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 6: But they do, they do happen, and sometimes they don't

171
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 6: even produce. Uh. You know, we called the thunderstorm that

172
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 6: they can produce like water spouts. We've got a we've

173
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 6: got a couple of cells out there that might producing

174
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 6: water spouts over the waters. But the biggest threat really

175
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 6: is the heavy rain. You know, they will produce heavy rain.

176
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 6: And with the local burn areas and all the all

177
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 6: the water are in the ground, that's where we have

178
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 6: to worry. That's where they have to watch. Fortunately, like

179
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 6: I said, only ten percent chance with understorm today. So

180
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 6: we're not we're not. We're watching it, but we're not,

181
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 6: you know, we're not really dreading it now.

182
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 5: I know earlier this week we had some pretty intense

183
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 5: winds in our area. What is the wind doing today?

184
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 5: Is it behaving?

185
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 6: The wind is behaving. It's not behaving in La ex

186
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 6: for the pilots, they have to fly in the wrong way.

187
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 6: But other than that, disgusting tender went out. Power gusts nothing,

188
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 6: nothing too bad. Maybe a little gust here in the mountain.

189
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 6: So people driving their Hope high file week high profile

190
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 6: vehicles across the Grapevine, just keep their hands on the

191

286
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 5: facing the City of La and La County in twenty

287
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,120

Speaker 5: shaping LA's future.

289
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 4: Hi, Michael Monks, Good morning to you, Heather Brooker.

290
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 5: What are the biggest issues that the city and the

291
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 5: county are facing right now?

292
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 8: Honestly, it's nothing but issues, it really is. I watch

293
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 8: these meetings and while there is a lot of typical

294
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 8: civic you know bs, They honor this or that person,

295
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 8: they do proclamations, they name street corners for people that

296
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 8: matter to a certain neighborhood, They do all of that stuff.

297
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 8: But as far as the mounting issues facing the city,

298
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 8: I don't detect a lot of urgency in dealing with them.

299
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 8: And this is a city that is facing financial catastrophe,

300
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 8: and the same is true for the county, which I

301
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 8: guess we'll get to. But the city itself is in

302
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 8: financial trouble in a variety of ways, and they keep

303
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 8: making decisions that a lot of analysts would say are

304
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 8: not going to remedy. They tend to treat the symptoms

305
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 8: and not the disease itself. So let's just start with

306
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 8: the fact that last year, when they created this year's budget,

307
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 8: this is a fiscal year we're talking about. So, just

308
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 8: to be technical really quick, the fiscal year starts on

309
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 8: July the first for most governments, so they start preparing

310
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 8: a budget in the spring. Now, back in the spring,

311
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 8: when the mayor presents her proposed budget before the council

312
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 8: makes it changes, it's like, well, we've got about a

313
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 8: billion dollar shortfall and we've got sixteen hundred employees who

314
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 8: are going to be laid off. The council work through

315
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 8: its budget, they managed to save all those jobs. They

316
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 8: move some people around, they put them into different departments,

317
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 8: they move some money around. Everybody's job was saved, but

318
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 8: the financial picture in this current fiscal year has not

319
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 8: improved at all. So what's going to happen in the

320
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 8: spring is the mayor will present a budget and I

321
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 8: don't expect it's going to be very healthy. And so

322
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 8: what will happen to those people whose jobs were saved

323
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 8: last time? Will they be saved this time? Not sure?

324
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 4: Did it just sort of get pushed on down the

325
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 4: road a little bit?

326
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 8: Maybe it seemed that, Look, we've seen people lose their

327
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 8: jobs before, we've seen it in this industry, and it's

328
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 8: tough to see. But it also didn't feel at the

329
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 8: time that there were real long term alternatives provided to

330
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 8: keep those people employed. It was basically, as you suggested,

331
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,239
Speaker 8: we're going to keep these people in this job for now.

332
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 5: So a lot of like band aid type solutions can

333
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 5: go quick fixes for now and not addressing, as you said,

334
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 5: the underlying issues and have nobody has any long term

335
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 5: plans here?

336
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 4: Are you seeing the same thing for La County?

337
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 8: The budget in La County is very, very challenged right now.

338
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 8: They are dealing with this massive sex abuse settlement four

339
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 8: point eight billion dollars total, thousands of claims over decades

340
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 8: against employees of La County that were settled in mass

341
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 8: and two different settlements. The problem with this is they're

342
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 8: not writing a five billion dollar check. They're going to

343
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 8: be paying this off for the next thirty or so years.

344
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 8: They think they'll be paying this off into the twenty fifties,

345
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 8: so this is going to be impacting their budget for

346
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 8: a very long time. And by the way, the woman

347
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 8: who explained to them the financial catastrophe that this lawsuit

348
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 8: brings has also sued the city and as excuse me,

349
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 8: the county that would be County CEO Fijia Davenport, who

350
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 8: is in a position that is appointed. You're appointed the

351
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 8: CEO to kind of be a city manager type person.

352
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 8: You manage the departments, you report to the Board of Supervisors.

353
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 8: But voters in La County last year decided that we

354
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 8: would want an elected county CEO, and Fisha. Davenport said

355
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 8: that that was basically offensive to her, the way that

356
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 8: the language was worded, and she settled for two million dollars. So,

357
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 8: so here she is warning the county about its dangerous

358
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 8: financial situation and then cashing in on it herself, claiming

359
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 8: to be disparaged again. So money is flying out the

360
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 8: window at La County because of those legal settlements. And

361
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 8: of course both the city and the county will be

362
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 8: dealing with the remnants of the wildfires, of the cleanup

363
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 8: that's still involved in the wildfire. That there's just not

364
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 8: a lot of light at the end of the tunnel

365
00:17:59,080 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 8: for either government.

366
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 4: And you know, some of the big issues.

367
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 5: If you ask the average person who lives in La

368
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 5: County or the City of La what their concerns are,

369
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 5: they say public safety, they say homelessness, they say infrastructure.

370
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: None of those things can properly be addressed without a

371
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 5: budget and without the money and the resources to properly

372
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 5: handle those things. So that's why I'm so glad you

373
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 5: brought that up and we're talking about this because the

374
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 5: budget is truly, I think, the biggest crisis in the

375
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 5: biggest situation facing the city and the county in the

376
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 5: coming year. So Michael Monks, I know you stay on

471
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 5: Them so how would you say this is going to

472
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 5: reshape the competitive landscape between streamers and traditional.

473
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 4: STUDIOS i think.

474
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 13: The fear is that this merger is going to see

475
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 13: a greater consolidation in the industry in terms, of you,

476
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 13: know what movies are getting made and, into in terms

477
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 13: of who's buying and who's. Selling one of the interesting

478
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 13: things as part of this is That netflix has been

479
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 13: the biggest buyer films AND tv shows from outside, studios

480
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 13: And Warner brothers had been one of the biggest. Sellers

481
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 13: so with them working, TOGETHER i think the fear is

482
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 13: that it won't be as easy to GET tv shows

483
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 13: or films and movies, sold and it's just taking a

484
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 13: studio system out of the, industry or at least merging

485
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 13: in the mental, one which is always a concern for

486
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 13: the creative.

487
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 5: Industry i'm glad you brought up the creative side of,

488
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 5: things BECAUSE i think a lot of the concern or

489
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 5: pushback about this merger is coming from the creative. Side

490
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 5: how would you say that this merger could affect the

491
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 5: content strategy and. CREATIVITY i think.

492
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 13: There'll be a difficult player to compete against if this

493
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 13: merger goes, through Having Warner brothers And netflix. Combined you,

494
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 13: know you have a really strong studio, system you have

495
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 13: some of the top streaming, shows and you have one

496
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 13: of the top streamers out there With, netflix.

497
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 5: And what are you hearing from creators about this? Merger

498
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 5: are they in support of?

499
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 13: IT i think it's still so early in the process

500
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 13: that people are still trying to figure out how they

501
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 13: feel about. This and one thing to be, sure you,

502
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 13: know the deal With netflix isn't a done deal by

503
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 13: any means at this. Point they still have several months

504
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 13: of regulatory approval and processes to go. Through and then

505
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 13: there's also the competing bid from From, Paramount so we'll see,

506
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 13: whether you, Know paramount steps in and ups their. Offer

507
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 13: But i'd say that the initial reactions have just been

508
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 13: concerned at even more consolidation in an industry that's, already you,

509
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 13: know feels so.

510
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 5: SQUEEZED i thought it was interesting the other day that

511
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 5: we saw That David zaslov Gave Ted sarandos And Greg

512
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 5: peters a tour of The Warner brothers. LOT i don't

513
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 5: know if that was aimed to be just a strong

514
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 5: showing of, support but did you happen to see that

515
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 5: photo and that, Tour.

516
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 13: YEAH i definitely think it was a strong showing being the.

517
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 13: KEYWORD i think it was meant to convey to the,

518
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 13: public and you, know perhaps To paramount that, is this

519
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 13: is the deal that they want to. Happen this is

520
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 13: the merger they want to go, through and they're so

521
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 13: sure about it that they're already talking you, know who

522
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 13: knows what they're talking, about but it seems like they're

523
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 13: already talking about how to combine the two. Operations but,

524
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 13: YEAH i think that that was mostly to send a

525
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 13: message to the public Into.

526
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 5: Paramount it definitely seemed that. Way who ultimately do you

527
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 5: think will be affected by a merger of this.

528
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 13: Side it is very early, on so we wouldn't begin to,

529
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 13: see you, know what might happen for several months. Now

530
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 13: BUT i, think you, know the big concern is about job,

531
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 13: loss both with the merger of the two companies and

532
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 13: for the, CONSUMER i think the concern is whether or

533
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 13: not streaming prices would go up with the combination OF

534
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 13: Hbo max and With.

535
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 5: Netflix and what about the other big players in, Town, Disney, Apple,

536
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 5: Amazon what is going to happen to them if this

537
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 5: merger goes. Through are they?

538
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 13: WORRIED i, mean it definitely has an effect on, yeah

539
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 13: on both their streaming and their studio, side because then

540
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 13: you get kind of a mega conglomerate with, them With

541
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 13: netflix and With Warner Brothers, discovery and that's a, hard

542
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 13: a hard merger to compete.

543
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 5: With, WELL i, know as you've, said we have quite

544
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 5: a long way to go before all of this is

545
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 5: a done. DEAL a lot of hurdles to pass, here
