Did you feel it, Cono, I see that your 13 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.439 eyes got really big. Yeah. It was about three miles from my house. 14 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.079 The episode. Oh so you got a pretty good jolt. Oh yeah, 15 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:12.359 definitely a generalin rush. Yeah. Did it last very long? No, 16 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.560 but it was not like a roller. It was like like a house. 17 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.799 Yeah. It was loud and yeah, it was a good reminder if 18 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:25.200 we have earthquakes You guys should have seen Cono's face. Right when I said 19 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.400 it. His eyes got like the biggest, biggest saucers. Yeah, it 20 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.239 was sorry. It was the saddest thing. My three year old. It 21 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:37.480 was her first earthquake, so her pupils were so dilated of fear that you 22 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.239 couldn't even see the brown of her eyes. Oh, it was so sad. 23 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.120 She'll get used to it well, hopefully. Yeah. We live in 24 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.840 southern California. Chargers got a new coach, Jim Harbaugh, coming back to 25 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:53.879 the Bolts Max nine planes could be flying soon. We're gonna dig a little 26 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.959 deeper into that. And surprise, it's raining. I woke up this morning. 27 00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:59.640 I was like, wait a second, the rain was supposed to be 28 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.799 gone. But the good news is it's supposed to end and we have a 29 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.640 beautiful weekend on the way. Here's what's ahead on wake up call. As 30 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.800 I just mentioned, a little shaky in the Southland. A four point two 31 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.879 earthquake rattled sam Bernardino last night, shortly before eight, not far from a 32 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.039 quake that hit the area less than three weeks ago. The US Geological Survey 33 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:21.360 says it was felt in La and Orange Counties, centered two miles from Sam 34 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.560 Bernardino about three miles from Cono's house. A lawmaker in California has asked the 35 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.560 DEA to make the so called zombie drug a controlled substance. Amazing that it 36 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:34.599 isn't already, He says, the designation of the drug that goes by the 37 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:39.000 street named Trank would give police power to make arrests and restrict the drugs trafficking. 38 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.879 He stresses that more needs to be done to get Trank off the streets 39 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.240 you think. John Stewart is returning to the Daily Show. He'll be hosting 40 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.479 Monday nights through the twenty twenty four elections, starting next month. The Daily 41 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.560 Show's been using guest hosts as it continues to look for a permanent replacement for 42 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.479 Trevor Noah he retired in twenty twenty two. Stuart left the show in twenty 43 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.719 fifteen at six oh five. It's handle on the news, Alabama has been 44 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.199 given the ok to try something new with an execution. Let's get started with 45 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.560 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Investigators 46 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.800 in San Bernardino still working to identify the six people killed in the high desert 47 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:22.080 near Adalanto. Five of the bodies were found along a dirt road Tuesday night, 48 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.199 near cars or in cars. The sixth was discovered yesterday morning. A 49 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.800 retired FBI agent says the level of violence speaks to a broader criminal network, 50 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.639 possibly drug or cartel related. He says it appears they were shot and set 51 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.840 on fire. One of the two cars found with the bodies in it had 52 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.120 its windows blown out. LAPD Chief mor says twenty twenty three was a much 53 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.879 safer year for the city than the year before. Morsays there were three hundred 54 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.280 and twenty seven homicides last year. That's down seventeen percent from the year before. 55 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.960 The Chief gave his final year in crime report yesterday alongside mere baths, 56 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.280 So it was much more work to be done, and I'm proud of the 57 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.599 measure will results that has been achieved, but I also recognized that the perception 58 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.960 of safety remains a concern across this great city. More says violent crime went 59 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.879 down significantly, but property crime remains a problem. Moore retires next month. 60 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.319 A mayor Bass said she's proud of Moore's accomplishment. Coming in as mayor, 61 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:16.439 I was very clear that my number one job was keeping Angelinos safe at LAPD 62 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:21.240 headquarters. Steve Gregor king if I News Hollywood Burbank Airport is about to break 63 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:27.720 round on construction of a new passenger terminal. Officials say the replacement terminal will 64 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.639 have fourteen gates and will resolve some long standing safety and accessibility issues with the 65 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:38.959 current terminal. The project is known as Elevate bur or Burbank. State and 66 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.240 local government officials, airport authority commissioners, and airport staff are going to be 67 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.680 in Burbank this morning for the groundbreaking ceremony. I was just there yesterday. 68 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.759 I love that airport. Alaska Airlines says it plans to get some of its 69 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:56.399 Boeing seven thirty seven Max nine planes back in the air following rigorous inspections. 70 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:01.079 ABC's Andy Field says United Airlines Max nine should return to scheduled service starting Sunday. 71 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:06.199 The FAA releasing instructions for all airlines to ensure their Max nine planes are 72 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.199 safe as well, the agency telling Boeing it cannot expand that model's production rate 73 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.800 while it continues its safety investigation. The planes are grounded for inspections when a 74 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:21.240 door plug fell off in Alaska flight in air last month. The FAA says 75 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.120 this must never happen again. We're going to be talking to ABC's Sam Sweeney 76 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:30.040 more about this, coming up in about fifteen minutes. NASA remembers those who 77 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:35.000 lost their lives in their quest to explore space. The annual Day of Remembrance 78 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:41.040 ceremony is happening today at the Kennedy Space Center. NASA will commemorate the crews 79 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.759 of Apollo one and space shuttles Challenger and Columbia. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson says, 80 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.879 while it's a solemn day, we should be forever thankful that those fallen 81 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:55.920 heroes shared their spirit of exploration with NASA, our country, and the world. 82 00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:01.720 Let's say good morning now to ABC's Geordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, 83 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:09.480 a new Seaspire maybe in the works. You know, from the media reports, 84 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.720 it would seem the New Seasfires in the works. But here on the 85 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.519 ground in Jerusalem and in the region, it doesn't look that way. We're 86 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:23.560 getting all kinds of signs that the sides are still very far apart. Hamas 87 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:30.319 even sending word to mediators last night, messages that ran on Israeli primetime news 88 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:35.560 that they have hardened their position. They don't want to discuss any release of 89 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:41.120 hostages until the end of the war, which they've said before, but now 90 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:47.319 they want their leadership intact their rule over the Gaza Strip maintained, every Israeli 91 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:53.959 soldier out of every inch of the Gaza Strip. You know, these are 92 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:59.240 non starters from the Israeli point of view, and it tells us that Hamas 93 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.639 feels like they have the stronger hand right now. They are down, you 94 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:08.360 know, keeping those hostages in tunnels deep underground, and there's fear fighting going 95 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:15.240 on in southern Gaza still and apparently they're they're waiting it out. Yeah, 96 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.399 it's interesting when you were saying that and you said that Hamas is feeling strong, 97 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:23.279 and my initial reaction when you're saying that that they're digging in their heels 98 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.040 and saying that, it's like, wow, it sounds like they're kind of 99 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.279 getting desperate to me and you know way better than me. I'm just that 100 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:34.240 was my initial take on it. So right, they are actually Hamas thinks 101 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:40.319 they're in a position of strength because there's so much pressure here by the families 102 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:46.720 of the hostages that it appears Seymour and Hamas are waiting for Israel to stop 103 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.959 the military operation, the war in southern Gaza, to call it off and 104 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.160 then say, okay, we've stopped fighting, let's discuss the hostage release, 105 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.480 let's discuss it now, and that it's not going to happen. I believe 106 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.319 in that. But that's what Hamas is banking on. Every day they wait. 107 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.560 They think that the government comes under more pressure, they might cave. 108 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.079 It's each side is waiting for the other to cave. Newel Nataniel thinks that 109 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:16.759 if scenewar can hear the tanks rolling above him, he'll start to get really 110 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.720 panicked and maybe he'll cave. So we're in a you know, we're in 111 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.279 a waiting period, I think, and not so close to a deal. 112 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.279 Yeah, And as those talks sort of continue, the fighting continues. And 113 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.559 we're just getting word today too that like a dozen people were killed in a 114 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.960 strike in a shelter in Gaza. Have you heard anything about that one? 115 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.879 Absolutely I have, because it was initially, you know, initially the head 116 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.759 of the UN Palestinian Refugee Agency implied that it was Israel, saying that tank 117 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:54.759 fired hit the UN building where there are thousands of gossins. Sheltering at least 118 00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:00.279 twelve dead fifteen others we hear in critical condition. But as it turns out, 119 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.200 after Israel looked at all of its operational information and did a review, 120 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.840 the Israeli Army said last night, no, we did not, We weren't. 121 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.559 We didn't fire tanks on that un position, we didn't hit it with 122 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.679 any air strikes. And Israel said, this is likely a case of errant 123 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:26.799 Hamas rocket fire or errant Hamas RPG fire and not the Israeli Army. So 124 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:33.080 you know, this is what happens in war, and there's always mistakes that 125 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.519 Hamas makes and rockets that don't make it to southern Israel. And then just 126 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.879 in this war, we're finally we're seeing it because of the intensity of the 127 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.000 war and the length of the war. But in all the other conflicts I 128 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.919 can tell you that I reported on, there were also always cases of rockets 129 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:54.519 that didn't make it into Israly territory. And I think Israel has some street 130 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.279 cred on this one because when they do make mistakes, they mess up to 131 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.000 them. They're like, oh my gosh, yes we did do that, 132 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.080 And that's happened a couple of times so I would tend to believe them when 133 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.159 they're like, that's right, now, this wasn't us. And there have 134 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.519 I remember from our conversations a month or two ago, where there have been 135 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.799 some Hamas rockets that didn't quite hit their target and landed and killed civilians the 136 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.279 right, I mean, the greatest, the biggest example was that hospital that 137 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.600 was hit in the very early days of the war. You know that immediately 138 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.960 everyone assumed it was Israel, but it was a Aaron Tomas rocket. Yeah, 139 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.879 okay. So and again, while this all goes on, we know 140 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.159 that Africa went to the UN Court of Justice and they're demanding a ceasefire, 141 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.519 along with a bunch of other people. But they went to the Court of 142 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:45.399 Justice to do to make their case. When are we expecting a decision on 143 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:50.039 that? Well, Israel is bracing itself for that decision, which is supposed 144 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:58.159 to come down tomorrow Friday at one o'clock local time in the Hague. That's 145 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:03.600 two o'clock Israeli time, even o'clock seven am Eastern, and everyone's going to 146 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:09.159 be watching this ruling. It is a very important ruling. They've been asked 147 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:16.679 to put in a provisional injunction, in other words, imposing calling on Israel 148 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:24.480 to hold its fire and imposing a cease fire to prevent the claims of genocide, 149 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.480 which, by the way, Israel in the United States and many people 150 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.840 call a bogus charge in any case. But the court will rule whether it 151 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.679 can put a provisional injunction to stop the war, and if it does, 152 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.279 it's a serious it's a serious case because then it will likely go to the 153 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:48.080 UN Security Council and Israel will be looking for the United States to veto it. 154 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:54.240 But the court could actually say something in between nothing and that order. 155 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.320 The Court could say, Hey, we're calling on Israel to put in you 156 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.799 know, to allow in two hundred more trucks of eight to day. We're 157 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.559 calling on Israel to allow gosins in the south to go north. We're calling 158 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.120 in on Israel to sin out their troops or they may do something in a 159 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:16.919 grayer area to protect Palestinian lives instead of calling for the war to actually, 160 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.200 you know, pause. So everyone's going to be watching. And then Israel's 161 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:28.720 Prime minister is holding several meetings today to prepare for different responses. Okay, 162 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.000 and then my other question regarding that is if the UN Court of Justice comes 163 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.799 out and says, hey, you got to do a cease fire? Is 164 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.279 there anything binding does Israel? I? Mean? What would the repercussions be 165 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:46.759 if Israel says nope, We're continuing our efforts. So the ruling is legally 166 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:54.120 binding but not enforceable. So that's why the court would then go to the 167 00:12:54.240 --> 00:13:00.600 UN Security Council, which is both binding and enforceable. Right, and that's 168 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:05.039 so so the more the most crucial ruling would really come from the OUN Security 169 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.639 Council, but they're unit would likely use its veto, so it's but it 170 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:16.000 still would be you know, it still would be an important ruling because it 171 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.440 would go it would you know, pave a pathway to go to the UN 172 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.879 Security Council. Okay, so it's it is a critical ruling, Okay, 173 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:28.759 so we'll be watching for that tomorrow morning. Okay, all right, right 174 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.399 An Jordana Miller, thank you so much for your insight and information. Uh. 175 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.240 You always give us the best information and we appreciate it because a lot 176 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.000 of times it's hard to get good information. So thank you, thanks so 177 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.440 much. All Right, we'll talk to you soon. Let's get back to 178 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.559 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Amtrak 179 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:52.240 and Metrolink service between Orange and San Diego Counties has been suspended again after another 180 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:58.200 landslide in San Clementy. Our entire slope is unstable and we're going to continue 181 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.159 to deal with hillside risk if we don't figure out like an overall solution to 182 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:09.039 the instability of the slope. Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley says more slides could 183 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:15.080 happen. It's just a sandy soil hillside and it's not there's enough bed rock 184 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:20.600 in the hillside to make sure that it stays secure. The landslide late yesterday 185 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:26.320 covered the tracks with boulder and debris. It's not clear when service between Irvine 186 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.799 and Oceanside will be restored. Neighbors say they're fed up with wild parties hosted 187 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.000 by squatters at a home in Beverly Hills. People living in the area have 188 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.200 called the police several times since last October when the squatters allegedly took over. 189 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.440 Franz Solomon owns the property next door and says her tenants have had to suffer 190 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:46.919 through the late night parties and they have a pitbull that sometimes ends up wandering 191 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.279 into the streets. There are children in this neighborhood. There are children and 192 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.120 grandchildren. Lapd says the home has been abandoned for months and when the police 193 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.440 respond to the nuisance calls, the people inside are able to show proof of 194 00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:01.320 residency. Police said in a statement yesterday the lender will have to go through 195 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.000 a formal eviction process to get the tenants out. Chris Adler KFI News. 196 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.120 Delta's been named the top airline in twenty twenty three by The Wall Street Journal. 197 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.200 It's the airline's third consecutive win on the annual list. Alaska is the 198 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.039 runner up, not including the Boeing seven thirty seven Max nine grounding. This 199 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.720 month, Allegiant Air jumped to number three, south West ranked fourth, and 200 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.519 Jet Blue came in last. The list ranks airlines by on time arrivals, 201 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:33.080 cancelations, delays, baggage handling, and complaints. Getting home insurance in California 202 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.559 going to be even tougher now that the Hartford has announced it will no longer 203 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.440 offer new homeowners policies starting next month. Existing policies will be renewed. Seven 204 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.759 of the top twelve insurers in California have stopped offering new policies. Many have 205 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.399 said it's because of state regulations and the risk of wildfires. Former President Trump's 206 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.879 defamation trial resumes today in New York. He's expected to be there, not 207 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.399 sure if he's going to testify. The trial was delayed because of concerns at 208 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:03.279 a juror one of Trump's lawyers had been exposed to COVID. This trial is 209 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.240 to determine how much money author Ejen Carol will get, if any, after 210 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.639 Trump was found liable of defaming her. Carol is asking for ten million dollars. 211 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.360 The Los Angeles Chargers have a new coach. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, 212 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:19.360 fresh off a National Championship win, is headed back to the NFL. He 213 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.480 coached the forty nine Ers from twenty eleven to twenty fourteen. Harbaugh was also 214 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.039 a quarterback for the Chargers in the nineties. At six oh five, It's 215 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.879 handled on the news. The Supreme Court says border agents can take down razor 216 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:36.120 wire along the Texas border with Mexico, but Texas isn't giving up the fight 217 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.720 just yet. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Transportation Unit correspondent Sam Sweeney. 218 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.960 Sam, you know it's serious when you end up on Capitol Hill, 219 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:52.039 tell us what's going on with Boeing. J Calhoun requested meetings with senators on 220 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.679 Capitol Hill. This is a CEO who is on damage control and he's facing 221 00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.159 tough questions from these senators who are going to call for public hearings in the 222 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:06.720 wake of this disaster for Boeing. But we've learned overnight that the FAA has 223 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:10.240 now come up with a plan that is from Boeing and signed off by the 224 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:14.480 FAA that will allow these planes to get back into the air. Alaska Airline 225 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.680 says their seven thirty seven Max nine will be back in the air by tomorrow, 226 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.839 and United Airlines says that their Max nines will be back in the air 227 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.000 by Sunday. So certainly good news for airlines there. Yeah, and I 228 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.920 saw that with Alaska, and I've had some friends talk to me about saying, 229 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:32.599 oh, I don't know if I'm going to fly Alaska, And I 230 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:37.359 was thinking now is probably the best time to fly Alaska because they had to 231 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:42.920 probably go through these planes, you know, from nose to tail and really 232 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:48.519 make sure that everything's as it should be. Yeah, they are checking these 233 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.440 planes They're not taking any chances, and the FAA even said, look, 234 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.240 speed is not going to determine when these planes get back in the air. 235 00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:00.079 It's all based on safety. And the essay has their inspectors in rent in 236 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:06.359 Washington looking over the equality you know, assurance issues that they now assume that 237 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.000 caused this problem. You know, this is a brand new airplane that just 238 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.119 started flying in November. Maintenance workers at Alaska hadn't even looked at this part 239 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:17.200 of the plane. It wouldn't normally be looked at until it went through a 240 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.680 heavy maintenance check in roughly two to three years. The airlines also have their 241 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:26.640 own auditors at Boeing and today at Renton, Washington, where the seven thirty 242 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.759 seven Max is produced, they are shutting down all operations and they're having a 243 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.400 day where employees can meet with executives and the safety teams to go over you 244 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.279 know, quality assurance practices to make sure that this type of issue stops, 245 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.920 no corners are being cut, and that these planes that are leaving the factory 246 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.799 or space okay. And then what are the things is Boeing do doing. 247 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.400 I know that you mentioned that the CEO, Dave Calhoun, you know was 248 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:56.519 in Washington, d C. Yesterday. But what kinds of things has Boeing 249 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.200 done or will they be doing to try to repair this reputation that has I've 250 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.279 really taken a tough hit because not only the door popped off, but then 251 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:06.960 they had a wheel fall off, and they had a seven forty seven had 252 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:10.640 to turn back. I mean, they've had several several issues come up in 253 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.079 just the last couple of weeks. Yeah, this is going to be tough. 254 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.319 Boeing has to earn the trust of the American public and their customers back. 255 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.759 And you know, we've heard an earnings call this week that airlines are 256 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:25.839 having second thoughts about placing more orders with boone. You think about it, 257 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.200 if your entire company is based on these planes, you know, you look 258 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.680 at the airlines and maybe huge orders from Boeing and they get them, and 259 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.720 then a year or two in they have to ground them and cancel all these 260 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.119 flights and they're losing millions of dollars. Do you want to put that risk 261 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:41.160 there or do you want to say, hm, maybe we should take a 262 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.759 look at Airbus or another company and we can you know, have a little 263 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.000 bit more assurance that our operation is going to be smooth, and that's what 264 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:52.319 they're looking at. You know, United hasn't canceled or none of the airlines 265 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.559 have canceled their orders yet, but they are certainly coming up with contingency plans 266 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.279 in the case that they do look elsewhere. Okay, but the good news 267 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.720 in this is the FA has its guidelines on how to check them, and 268 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:08.640 Alaska is saying they're pretty much wrapping up their safety checks and their planes are 269 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.519 going to be flying again very soon. That's the good news, all right, 270 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.319 Sam Sweeney, thank you so much. If you'd like to follow Sam, 271 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:22.480 you can follow him at Sweeney SWEE n E Y ABC. Thanks again 272 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.000 for taking the time. Thanks Amy Sia. All right, let's get back 273 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:27.720 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 274 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:33.559 Four point two magnitude earthquake has jolted San Bernardino County and our very own KNO. 275 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.160 The US Geological surveyces the quake last night was less than two miles away 276 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.000 from the city center a depth of almost ten miles. Many people in the 277 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.640 Inland Empire said it was a strong, short quake. People as far away 278 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:51.599 as San Diego reported feeling the earthquake. Family members of a man fatally hit 279 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:55.839 by an LAPD car say they want the officer to face charges. Family of 280 00:20:55.920 --> 00:21:00.000 Luisa Spinosa's file a claim against LA. Attorney Michael Correo says the officer's lights 281 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.799 and sirens were on when she hit Espinosa, even though she was not responding 282 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:08.319 to an emergency. Furthermore, career alleges the officer was speeding. This officer 283 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:12.480 needs to be held accountable for her actions. Espinosa was jaywalking when he was 284 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:17.480 hit last month. He died at a hospital. The DIA's office said yesterday 285 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:21.680 that the case is under review. Blake Trolly k if I News. The 286 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:26.640 Supreme Court has ruled Alabama can execute a death row inmate with nitrogen gas. 287 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:32.839 ABC's Steve Osinsami says it'll be the first attempt to use a new execution method 288 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.039 since lethal injection was introduced in nineteen eighty two. Issue is that states are 289 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:42.240 having trouble getting the medications they need to perform lethal injections. Both Oklahoma and 290 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:48.640 Mississippi are allowing the use of nitrogen, but neither have tried again. Alabama 291 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:52.880 claims the nitrogen will be humane, but critics call it cruel and experimental. 292 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.880 Kenneth Smith is scheduled to die tonight for the murder for higher killing of a 293 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:02.119 woman in nineteen eighty eight. Saw this come out just yesterday. I think 294 00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:07.759 it's another example big brothers striking again. California lawmakers are looking at a plan 295 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:15.359 to require governors be put on vehicles, and we're talking about speed governors, 296 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.640 so you put the pedal to the medal and it's only going to go so 297 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.200 fast. A bill is making its way through the state legislature that would require 298 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:29.519 the governors to be installed on all new vehicles, and the result of it 299 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.759 would be basically that a car couldn't go faster than eighty if there was a 300 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:38.480 seventy mile per hour zone, and that's on new cars. And Ann and 301 00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:42.240 I started talking about this yesterday because I was just like going, you know, 302 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.640 I mean, you shouldn't go more than ten miles per hour, but 303 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.440 darn it if I need to. You know, I don't think that the 304 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:51.880 government should be restricting me. And the other thing, you'd start thinking about 305 00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:55.880 the practical result of this. So this would be on all new vehicles, 306 00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.279 so they'd have to have sensors on them and they'd have to be tied to 307 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:06.759 every single speed sign in the state. So think about the infrastructure that would 308 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:11.519 have to go into that to replace every single speed sign in the state to 309 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.839 make sure that the cars would be, you know, talking to the speed 310 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.359 signs and then restricting your how fast you could go. I just think this 311 00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:26.680 is another case of huge overreach. It does have initial support from lawmakers, 312 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.079 so I think we should be watching this one. This is just ugh, 313 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:36.640 it's just infuriating, and I don't think Sammy Hagar would like it either. 314 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:44.319 Cono got it, okay. Amtrak and Metrolink service has been suspended between Irvine 315 00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:48.640 and Ocean Side because of a landslide in San Clementy that covered the tracks with 316 00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:52.839 mud and debris and boulders as well. Buses were used to get passengers around 317 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.920 the slide. A pedestrian bridge above the tracks is also closed because officials say 318 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:02.680 the hillside is unstable. It's not clear when the tracks will reopen. A 319 00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:06.960 lawmaker in California has asked the DEEA to make the so called zombie drug a 320 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:10.960 controlled substance. He says the designation of the drugs that goes by the street 321 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.599 name trank because it has horse tranquilizer in it would give police the power to 322 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:19.960 make arrests and restrict the drugs trafficking. The lawmaker stresses more needs to be 323 00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.759 done to get it off the streets. John Stuart coming back to the Daily 324 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:27.839 Show. He'll be hosting Monday nights through the twenty twenty four elections, starting 325 00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:34.039 next month. The Daily Show's been using guest hosts since it lost permanent host 326 00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:38.519 Trevor Noah in twenty twenty two. Stuart left the show in twenty fifteen. 327 00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:44.000 At six oh five, Tandle on the news forget everything you've heard because crime 328 00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:48.480 is down in LA. At five point fifty, Tom Rivers has something salty 329 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.240 for tea lovers. But right now, let's say good morning to ABC's crime 330 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:59.960 and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett. Brad, Now, they're coming after our digital 331 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.319 money. It's not digital money, but they're coming after our Venmo and our 332 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.440 and our cash app and our Zell. What's going on? So think about 333 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:14.319 it this way that everyone that you just mentioned, among some others are tied 334 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:18.480 to banks typically like Zell for example, is tied to my Wells Fargo accounts. 335 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:25.000 So it's supposed to be safe exactly, and so, and I think, 336 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.400 let's start with I think by and large it is safe. Okay, 337 00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:34.599 However, it's also an attractive target. And the reason why is because hundreds 338 00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:40.160 of millions of US on a given day use one of these apps. I 339 00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:45.519 mean, the FTC said that two point six billion dollars was stolen from US 340 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.039 through fraud off these apps. Now, so how do you how do they 341 00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:53.680 go about this? What typically happens is the following that they send out a 342 00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:59.880 text message representing either one of the app companies, let's say Zel, PayPal, 343 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.960 et cetera, and saying there's a complication or a potential fraud issue with 344 00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:10.519 your account and we'll be contacting you shortly. So then someone calls and then 345 00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:15.119 they represent either the bank or the app, uh, you know, Zell, 346 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.279 et cetera. And so what happens is they say there's an issue, 347 00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:21.839 we want to correct it, and so they you know, they smooth talk 348 00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:26.160 you for a period of time, and they either already have your account number 349 00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.559 because they've they've gotten it through a breach previously, or they talk you into 350 00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:36.480 whatever reason in authenticating your account to give them your account number, which I 351 00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:41.200 can't imagine anyone doing. But apparently it happens. But the real key here 352 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:47.279 maybe is that they need two factor authentication to actually get into your bank account. 353 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:51.039 Like you know, when you make a PayPal payment, for example, 354 00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:56.359 they send you to your phone a six digit code and then you put it 355 00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:59.960 in and then you know it goes through and you've paid for whatever life goes 356 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.440 on. They can convince them, apparently some people that to test this out 357 00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:08.039 to see if they can figure out they being Zell et cetera, that there's 358 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.880 fraud occurring, that they want you to go onto your account, get the 359 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:18.119 two factor authentication, give it to them like them right, yes, okay, 360 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.079 right, And so again I can't imagine this happening, but apparently it 361 00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.680 happens thousands of times. Two points. You give a billion dollars worth the 362 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.799 times, there is no doubt and so they get it. They go into 363 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:33.640 your account and they wipe your account so they can get it all out of 364 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:38.440 them. So you can see, if you are persistent and you have a 365 00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:45.079 good story that you're going to find. You know, maybe older folks, 366 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.279 folks that you know aren't really thinking about you know, is this real? 367 00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.720 Is it not real? Or folks that are in a hurry. Apparently they 368 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.400 end up targeting the young folks. Young adults that are in a hurry, 369 00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.559 you know, are tech driven. I got to get to a meeting and 370 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.799 I get to get online, and they get these calls and they you know, 371 00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.839 they're thinking, well, I pay so many different people with my Venmo 372 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.599 account and I can't have it down or can but it's in a pain. 373 00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:19.119 And so what happens is that they sort of bite on the roots and that's 374 00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.559 all they need. You know, you could work off of percentages if you're 375 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.119 the bad guy, and that happens with all sorts of scams. It's all 376 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.400 about volume and if they can get X number of us to bite. I 377 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.119 mean, you know, if you can get billions of dollars doing it, 378 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.799 why wouldn't you if that's what you're inclined to do. Yeah, and it's 379 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.759 so crazy because they're actually getting your help to steal your money. Well, 380 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:48.359 I mean that happens in a legitimate settings too. Let's let's be it just 381 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.519 happens. But yeah, smooth talking folks and folks that don't think through. 382 00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.640 You know, my advice is if you get a text message saying there of 383 00:28:55.720 --> 00:29:00.160 the bank or Zell, delete it, don't even deal with it. If 384 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:03.759 they call you know, there's nothing wrong with your account, saying I'm not 385 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.359 talking to you, you're a fraud. Hang up, and then call Bank 386 00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.839 of America, Wells Fargo, whomever it might be, and say, did 387 00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:17.359 you discontact me because of issues with my Zell account? And the bread the 388 00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:19.839 other thing with that that I was just going to ask you about that. 389 00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:25.920 When you call your bank, but call a published number to your bank, 390 00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:27.759 don't call a number that they give you their Oh, you could reach out 391 00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:32.440 to us at this number, don't call that number. Call go to the 392 00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:37.039 website or go to your bank statement or whatever and find the actual real number. 393 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:40.440 Well that's right. In fact, if they send you an email, 394 00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:45.039 for example, or even in a text message where they say Bank of America, 395 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:49.599 and they may give a legitimate address for let's say a location for Bank 396 00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:55.640 of America, the phone number won't match the bank. It'll be to somebody 397 00:29:55.680 --> 00:30:00.200 impersonating the bank when you call it. So but people bite on that wore 398 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.880 They get an email that you know, with a letterhead in the email that 399 00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:08.119 looks very much like let's say, Bank of America's logo yep, and then 400 00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:12.240 adding a level of legitimacy, like, well, that's that's got to be 401 00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.319 them, that's their little flag or whatever it might be that they use, 402 00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:19.279 and of course it's not them at all, and now they've got you. 403 00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:26.039 Yeah, and I just in the last week have getten received like three different 404 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.279 notifications from what looks like PayPal, and I actually think it was PayPal because 405 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:34.799 somebody's requesting money. Yeah, and then and then PayPal catches it, and 406 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.000 then they go, oh, we canceled the request. You don't need to 407 00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:41.359 take any action, and you can go in and look, and they actually 408 00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:44.519 do request the money and then PayPal cancels it. So they're catching it. 409 00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.359 But it's just scary because like what if they don't catch it and then you've 410 00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:52.480 got nine taken out? Well, that's that's exactly right. And you know, 411 00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:56.640 and this occurs in other arenas obviously. Every day, people sending you 412 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.960 to surveys on things like, you know, the water in Los Angeles. 413 00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:06.000 You know, we're doing a study on the water, and you know, 414 00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:10.839 it's a way to get malware on your computer and then steal all your credentials. 415 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:14.000 I mean, it's just it's almost like you don't. You don't have 416 00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:17.359 time to work. You have to monitor your computer and phone all day long 417 00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:18.960 to make sure you don't get scammed. I know. Okay, So just 418 00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:23.880 a couple other quick tips on ways to protect yourself. Okay. So the 419 00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:29.480 key is, like I said, anything in a text message, absolutely delete, 420 00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.720 okay, phone calls, emails, and you know, and you think 421 00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:37.680 in your own mind, okay, well I used zel last week that went 422 00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:40.920 through. It's to you know, the guy who cuts my lawn, whomever 423 00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:44.319 it might be. And you have to stop and think about, well, 424 00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:48.160 how could there be a discrepancy because I know about all the payments you think. 425 00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:51.319 You have to think skeptically. That you got to you got to train 426 00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:56.839 yourself to think skeptically. And then, as I mentioned earlier, don't deal 427 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.599 with folks over the phone, don't deal with folks with text messages, and 428 00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:02.880 then turn around and call the bank or just ignore it saying this is just 429 00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:07.079 absolutely blowney and go on with your life. I mean that's what I do. 430 00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:09.920 I just delete all of it and keep going because I know it's it's 431 00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:13.599 not true. Yeah, I do that too. I go through and I 432 00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:15.920 delete stuff and then I go I hope that wasn't real, you know, 433 00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.559 Well, if it's real, If it's real, though, I mean, 434 00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.759 they'll actually you'll figure out a way. There'll be a more legitimate way, 435 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.039 and it'll be a number that you know, it'll be somebody at the bank, 436 00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:29.640 you've talked, it'll be all those things that click into it's real. 437 00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:34.720 Okay. So the takeaway is just be careful, be alert, and you 438 00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:37.039 have to be more cynical because there's bad guys out there trying to take your 439 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:43.279 money every day, at every angle. Unfortunately. Yeah, and thanks to 440 00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.240 you, Brad, hopefully some people are not going to get scammed because we 441 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:47.960 know what to look for. Now. Appreciate your We can only hope, 442 00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:51.279 we can only hope. So you got it. Thank you so much, 443 00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:53.039 Brad. Talk to you soon. Let's get back to some of the stories. 444 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:55.480 All right, take care, Let's get back to some of the stories 445 00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:59.400 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Jurors have to decide if 446 00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:04.200 second degree murder or voluntary manslaughters appropriate for a man charged with shooting a six 447 00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:07.839 year old boy in Orange. Both lawyers used Marcus the Reza's video confession to 448 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.039 shooting Aiden Laos in twenty twenty one because the boy's mom flipped him off. 449 00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:15.200 Senior Deputy da Dan Feldman says the guy admitted intent and implied malice. This 450 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:19.880 is a trained gun owner who brought his gun to deal with what he thought 451 00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:23.240 the threat was a woman's finger. But Senior Public Defender Randall Bethune said yesterday, 452 00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:27.720 Areez repeatedly tells police he doesn't know why shot the gun, so no 453 00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:31.559 malice or intent. There is no evidence whatsoever that misteries knew the child was 454 00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:35.599 in car. The difference is twenty five or forty years to life in prison 455 00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:38.000 at the OC Superior Court. Corbin Carson k if I News. At least 456 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:40.839 twelve people have been killed in a strike on a crowded shelter in Gaza. 457 00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:46.119 Dozens of people were hurt. The United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees did not 458 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:52.920 directly blame Israel. The Israeli military says it has ruled out that the strike 459 00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.839 was carried out by its aircraft or artillery, but they're still investigating. It 460 00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:02.039 says the building might have been hit by a hamas. Russian media says investigators 461 00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:07.920 have found the flight recorders of a Russian military transport plane that crashed in a 462 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:12.599 border region near Ukraine, killing all seventy four people on board. Russia claims 463 00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:19.039 Ukrainian missiles shot down the plane yesterday, which was carrying sixty five Ukrainian prisoners 464 00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:23.719 of war. Ukraine's president has demanded an international investigation. Apple has rolled out 465 00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:28.840 at update to its operating system, and users are being urged to turn it 466 00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:34.199 on immediately. The update includes a feature called Stolen Device Protection. It makes 467 00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:37.440 it harder for thieves to access key functions and settings. This way, they 468 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:42.440 can't lock people out of their Apple accounts, delete their photos, or empty 469 00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:47.159 their bank accounts. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate the deaths 470 00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:52.400 of six people found in and around two cars in a remote desert area. 471 00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:57.000 They were found near El Mirage Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Authorities aren't saying 472 00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:00.119 what killed them, but video shows and suv riddled with bullets. Three of 473 00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:05.840 the bodies also appear to have been burned. Former President Trump's defamation trial resumes 474 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:09.119 in New York. It was delayed because of concerns adjuror and one of Trump's 475 00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:14.320 lawyers had been exposed to COVID. This trial is to determine how much money 476 00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:17.159 author E. Gen Carrol will get if any after Trump was found liable of 477 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:22.599 defaming her. Carol wants ten million dollars. The LA Chargers have a new 478 00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:28.679 coach. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, fresh off his National Championship win, is 479 00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:31.920 headed back to the NFL. Harbaugh coached the forty nine Ers from twenty eleven 480 00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:36.079 to twenty fourteen. He also used to play for the Chargers. He was 481 00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:39.159 the team's quarterback in the nineties. We're just minutes away from Handle. On 482 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:44.280 the news this morning, President Trump is picking up lots of endorsement, but 483 00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:50.280 Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republican leaders are not among them. Right 484 00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:53.400 now, let's say good morning to ABC's Tom Rivers. So next time you 485 00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:58.159 ought to a spot of tea, will the server say to you, would 486 00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:04.280 you like salt with that? Exactly? What a controversy? And Britz and 487 00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:08.000 the Yanks here in London are having fun with this. What's the seed of 488 00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:15.280 this rhetorical dispute? A chemistry professor by the name of Michelle Frankel at the 489 00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:22.280 Brinnmar College went into the origins of humans consuming tea going back to China, 490 00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:25.639 going back a thousand years basically and going into a level that you and I 491 00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:32.000 can only contemplate. And she said that a little bit of salt is the 492 00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:37.199 kicker, which makes tea better. And of course what in the front of 493 00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:43.360 the Brits. Basically her contention, exactly, her contention is the sodium ions 494 00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:49.159 in salt block the bitter receptors in our mouths. And she says, it's 495 00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:51.920 not enough to even taste, but you put a little bit in there, 496 00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:55.679 and the Brits are aghast. They're saying, you're you're out to lunch. 497 00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:00.320 So it's kind of had. It's gone up to the level of the loma. 498 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:07.320 See the US Embassy put out a tweet yesterday saying basically, in this 499 00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:12.840 particular battle, uh, the US is not have an official position, but 500 00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:15.559 adding adding salt to the wound. They said that the best way to make 501 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:19.840 tea, of course, was is to put it in the microwave. And 502 00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:23.760 again the hair exactly, the hair back on the back of the necks of 503 00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:27.239 Brits who say no, no, no, no, no no, you 504 00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.360 make you you boil water, you put it in a kettle and then you 505 00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:35.559 pour the tea into a mug and then you add the milk. So they're 506 00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:38.440 uh yeah, they're they're they're having fun with this thing, and it's going 507 00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:44.079 back and forth. Even the Cabinet uh at ten Downing Street has kind of 508 00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:45.880 put its its weight into this, saying no, no, no, no, 509 00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:49.960 no, microwave is out, kettle is the only way to go. 510 00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:53.880 So uh this this is a good twenty four hour fun little back and forth 511 00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:59.639 between the US and the UK, and with everything going on in the world, 512 00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:02.119 I'm okay with a little bit of fun. So if you think about 513 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:07.159 the salt thing, right, you said that they're saying to put salt in, 514 00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:12.880 but just like a few granules, because you don't want to actually taste 515 00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:15.800 it, right, No, you don't want to if you have a sore 516 00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:17.320 throat and your gargle with salt water. No no, no, we're not 517 00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.559 talking about that. We're talking about just so much that you can't even taste 518 00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:25.039 it. So she may have something there, or you might just say, 519 00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:29.679 you know, this doesn't taste any different, but but it is what it 520 00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.360 is. She's come out with a book. Guess what, she'd probably sell 521 00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:37.400 a few copies based upon this h doing and froing, if you will. 522 00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.719 So think about the thought process behind there. Okay, so I got to 523 00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:46.400 spark a controversy. I got to get people's attention and do something really weird 524 00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:50.519 so I can sell books. I think she might have done it. I 525 00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:53.760 think she's yeah, she's she's ticked all the boxes and good luck to her. 526 00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.960 Yeah. So here's another thing that I thought about when I when I 527 00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.079 got that you were going to be talking about this, I was like, 528 00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:05.079 so, salt is actually a flavor enhancer. Our Fork reporter Neil Sevager talks 529 00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:09.639 about this all the time. How like pepper changes the taste, salt enhances 530 00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:15.639 the flavor. And so if you like tea and you did drop in just 531 00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:20.880 a shmidge of salt, maybe it enhances the flavor of tea. I think 532 00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:23.119 maybe you're gonna have to try it next time you have a cup of tea. 533 00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:28.599 Just try it, and we can circle back next time we chitch you 534 00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:30.480 out and find out how how it does for you and how it does for 535 00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:34.920 me. I guess I can try. But I'm sort of like in camp 536 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.599 ted Lasso on this. I think it tastes like, you know, a 537 00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:40.239 wet paper bag. Well, I'm still. I'm still. I drink tons 538 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:45.719 of coffee here. I drink maybe a cup of tea maybe once a month, 539 00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:47.639 not very often. But I they're really they look at me because they 540 00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:52.039 think I'm a barbarian because when I have tea, I just have black tea 541 00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:55.719 and they go without milk. Yeah, oh my god, Tom, what 542 00:39:55.760 --> 00:40:00.679 are you doing? What planet are you f Oh yeah, exactly exactly. 543 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:05.119 I love that. Well. I hope that you don't get ridiculed too much, 544 00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:07.920 and please do try the sault in the tea because I want to. 545 00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:12.519 I want to find out your take on it. All right, thank you 546 00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:15.880 so much for your time and for lightening our load this morning. A bit. 547 00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:17.719 There you go. You take care. Let's get back to some of 548 00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:22.039 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. I love the 549 00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:25.159 tea talk. A man wanted for allegedly killing three people in Harbor City and 550 00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:30.199 San Pedro in September and injuring a one year old has been arrested. Two 551 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:32.280 of the people killed were in a car when they were shot, the other 552 00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:37.440 was at a party. Charges are expected to be announced today. The Lakt 553 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:39.800 Sheriff's Department is looking for more people who may have been sexually assaulted by a 554 00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:45.800 man on parole in Lancaster. Registered sex offender allegedly lured women off of social 555 00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:50.000 media and assaulted them in a vacant home. Sergeant Joseph Mesa says the department 556 00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.599 has received at least four reports of assault and the man has been arrested for 557 00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:58.199 two. Anyone with information please call crime Stoppers at one eight hundred two two 558 00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:04.320 two eight four seven seven or email specially Victors Bureau at LSD dot org. 559 00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:07.920 Mesa says the accusers and the other two reports that came in late last year 560 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:09.880 have not come forward. A photo of the man can be seen on our 561 00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:16.639 website at KFIAM six forty dot com slash suspect Chris Adler KFI News love hearing 562 00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:21.840 stories like this. Imagine how life changing this could be. Doctors at Boston's 563 00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:27.559 mass General Hospital have helped deaf children here. They've used gene therapy to restore 564 00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:31.719 hearing in five of six children in an experimental trial. Several US, Chinese, 565 00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:37.079 and European researchers have seen promising results in treating genetic forms of deafness. 566 00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:43.199 ABC's Andy Field says the kids have a rare genetic defect in a gene. 567 00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:47.000 Within weeks, the kids who were born deaf started to hear. The oldest 568 00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:52.519 was able to speak. Mass Jen says one point five billion people in the 569 00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:58.679 world have some form of hearing loss. I bet that number or more have 570 00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:01.960 some form of sleep loss or not getting enough sleep. But guess who's not 571 00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:07.199 one of them? Rob Lowe. So Rob low is fifty nine years old 572 00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:12.199 and you see him all over the place. Still he looks fantastic, like 573 00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:16.280 ageless, right, So either he's got good genes or has cracked the code, 574 00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:20.320 or has a good plastic surgeon one of the two or three. I 575 00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:24.360 guess that was three. But he says that part of his secret to staying 576 00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:28.519 young, staying in shape is getting lots and lots of sleep. He says 577 00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:31.920 he gets an embarrassing amount of sleep. He says, it's not twelve hours 578 00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:35.519 a day, but if there were ever twelve hours to be had, he 579 00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:39.159 would take it. And apparently he's a napper too, because he says in 580 00:42:39.199 --> 00:42:46.440 his suv the seats recline all the way so he can just catch a knap 581 00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:50.840 there. He says, put on a little mask, put on his headphones, 582 00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:54.559 and he is good to go, so seems to be working and you're 583 00:42:54.559 --> 00:43:00.079 gonna be able to see him again in the next season of Netflix's com Unstable, 584 00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:05.440 It's Really Fun. Season two is coming out this fall. He plays 585 00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:08.920 a tech billionaire who is Yeah, he's a little unstable. Very fun to 586 00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:15.480 watch, though makes me sleepy. This is KFI and KOST HD two Los 587 00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:19.880 Angeles, Orange County.
