WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.879 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.880 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI hand KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange 3 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:21.879 County. It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. 4 00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:36.159 Good morning, Happy home Day. It's five o'clock on your wake up call 5 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:42.280 for Wednesday, January tenth. I'm Amy King. Thanks for getting your day 6 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:48.280 started today. I was watching the news. Everybody's freaking out because of the 7 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:54.520 weather kind of across the US. But there have been tornadoes, snow, 8 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.880 rain, wind. But as the as the people are sitting there doing their 9 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.640 stand ups, the report going there's snow in Iowa. I'm like, it's 10 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.400 January. Of course there's snow in Iowa. And the rain and the wind. 11 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:12.200 It's a normal thing. The tornado's not so good. Some tornadoes hit 12 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:17.760 down in the South, I think in the Panhandle of Florida. God, 13 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:19.640 they do a lot of damage. And we've got to speaking of damage, 14 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.920 we could have some damage coming. We got some strong, strong, gusty 15 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:29.200 winds coming thirty to forty miles an hour expected to blow today, gusting sixty 16 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:34.400 to seventy miles per hour. So what the umbrella is down. Put away 17 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.280 the pool furniture, Otherwise it could be gone. Here's what's ahead on wake 18 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.519 up call. The LA County District Attorney's Office has decided not to file fel 19 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:49.519 any domestic violence charges against former Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias. He's accused of getting 20 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.519 into a violent confrontation with a woman believed to be his wife outside an LAFC 21 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.920 soccer match in September. The case has been sent to the La City Attorney's 22 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:04.120 Office, which now consider misdemeanor charges. Nearly seven hundred flights have been canceled 23 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.159 already today as storms batter the US. We're just talking about that. At 24 00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.439 least four people have been killed as severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, damaging winds, 25 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.319 and baseball sized hail move across the US. Ever seen baseball sized hail. 26 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:23.879 It's the size of a baseball, crazy and it's like they're repelting you. 27 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.919 I've seen people just running for cover. The biggest I've ever seen is about 28 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:36.120 probably pingpong size, but it still hurts. A Napa Valley winery has turned 29 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:45.360 to AI with its robot samlier called Robovino. Mario Kennetti Winery owner Maria Resnicosa 30 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:50.560 says the winery has seen the thirty percent increase in foot traffic since robo Vino 31 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:55.479 started assisting customers with tastings. Critics say there's no way a robot can replicate 32 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.960 a human's expertise with wine, and says it is just a passing fact. 33 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.599 We shall see at six o five its handle on the news. The World 34 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:07.879 Economic Forum says we're at risk of a global catastrophe within the next ten years. 35 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.639 Not a great way to start today. Bill's going to dig into that. 36 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.680 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 37 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.879 four hour newsroom. Boeing's CEO has used the word mistake when talking about the 38 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:23.400 Alaska Airlines flight that had to make an emergency landing after a door plug blew 39 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:29.319 out. Dave Calhoun says they're going to approach the situation with complete transparency every 40 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.120 step of the way. Gonna work with the NTSB, who is investigating the 41 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.439 accident itsself, to find out what the leak cause is. Calhoun says all 42 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.280 seven thirty seven Max nine planes with door plugs are grounded until the FAA inspects 43 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.919 them. The flight from Portland to Ontario on Friday, was carrying one hundred 44 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.000 and seventy seven people when part of the plane detached. Nobody was killed and 45 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:58.719 nobody was seriously hurt. Thieves in California could soon pay a higher price for 46 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.840 retail theft only mean James Ramos has introduced a bill that would have thieves with 47 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.240 at least two prior theft convictions facing up to three years in jail for retail 48 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:12.080 theft. California law currently does not assess prior convictions when classifying theft of up 49 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.280 to nine hundred and fifty dollars as a misdemeanor. The bill would need to 50 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.879 be approved by the legislature, governor, and then voters to become law. 51 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:24.800 Ramo says shoplifting and smash and grabs are endangering customers and store employees. Blake 52 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.959 Trolly k if I News. Two men have been charged with sexual assault in 53 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.839 separate cases out of Culver City and Long Beach, Ella County. DA George 54 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.519 Gascone says one man broke into a home in Culver City last month and allegedly 55 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:39.399 raped a twelve year old girl while her parents were in the house. Because 56 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.120 the victim was told that there was a man with a gun outside and that 57 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.480 her family would be killed if she reported. The family was unaware of what 58 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.360 was going on. Under the victims letter, the second man allegedly impersonated a 59 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:56.759 police officer in Long Beach and sexually assaulted a woman in his car in late 60 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:02.199 December. Relise say both men have criminal histories and there are likely other victims. 61 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.720 I'm super excited about this one. It should always be not that one. 62 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.839 Ok Okay, I am super excited about this one, as it should 63 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.519 always be the foundlings of the future. This is the way, This is 64 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:20.360 the way, This is the way. Here's something that's on the way. 65 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:25.199 A new Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu, will be the first 66 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.720 big screen film in the Star Wars universe since twenty nineteens The Rise of Skywalker. 67 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.040 Jon Favreau, who created the Mandalorian series for Disney Plus, is set 68 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:40.639 to direct the movie. Production is set to start later this year. Can't 69 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:45.560 wait Love the Mandalorian. Let's say good morning now to ABC's White House correspondent 70 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.040 Karen Travers. Karen, I think what we can say is what we have 71 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:56.199 here is a failure to communicate. Secretary. Yeah, and so many questions. 72 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.759 Yeah, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has a serious health issue, and 73 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.399 no one, including the White House knew about it until yesterday. Well, 74 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.639 they knew about it before, but we didn't even know what it was until 75 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:10.720 yesterday. So tell us what it is and why we're just finding out now. 76 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.439 Yeah, the same Secretary of Rydustin has prostate cancer, and his recent 77 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.720 hospitalization, which was kept sacred for days, we now know is due to 78 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:25.519 a urinary tracts infection and intestinal complication following what his doctors called a minimally invasive 79 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:30.079 surgery to treat and cure his cancer. He was initially went into the hospital 80 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:34.160 back in December. He was diagnosed in early December with prostate cancer. He 81 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:40.439 underwent general anesthesia for a procedure on December twenty second, and recovered uneventfually, 82 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.920 according to his doctors. He returned home the next morning, but then on 83 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.639 January first, he was readmitted to the hospital because of complications nausea and pain 84 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.959 in his stomach, hip, and leg, and the doctors say that that 85 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:57.240 revealed a urinary tract infection. The next day, January second, further evaluation 86 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.920 revealed abdominal fluid collections and then he was treated with a non surgical drain placement, 87 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.240 so he had still hospitalized, and the White House, as we now 88 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:11.279 know, didn't know until last Thursday that he was in the hospital, So 89 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.720 it took several days after he had gone into the complications for the White House 90 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.680 to be informed. We learned yesterday that they didn't know until yesterday, five 91 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.879 days later, that he was being treated for prostate cancer. So five days 92 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.120 went by from the time the President was informed Wood Austin was in the hospital 93 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.879 before he was told that his Defense secretary has prostate cancer. A lot of 94 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:38.879 questions at the White House yesterday about the process here the timeline of who was 95 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:44.079 informed and how. John Kirby said bluntly that this was not optimal. As 96 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.439 he put it, this is not the way it's supposed to happen. The 97 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:51.040 President understands that, okay, So, like you said, not optimal. 98 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.079 There are so many things that went wrong here. So going all the way 99 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.680 back to the first surgery when he was put up in general anesthesia, isn't 100 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.000 there something that he should have to tell somebody? I know, like, 101 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.240 if the president goes under anesthesia, he has to sign over power to the 102 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:13.519 Vice President and Lloyd Austin is in the line of succession, yes, yes, 103 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.079 and even just the chain of command of delegating that down to the next 104 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.319 person and deputy at the Pentagon. Should something happen, you know, if 105 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.680 you are called to the situation room while you are under general anesthesia, should 106 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.319 there be a tack here. There's so many scenarios of if you know, 107 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.480 the phone rings, then you are needed, but the White House doesn't know 108 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:37.039 that you are getting a procedure done it while to read and you are incapacitated 109 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.159 at that point because you are under general anesthesia. There are a lot of 110 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.000 problems there. And you know, we had all those questions yesterday, the 111 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:48.200 Pentagon Press Corps asking all those questions yesterday. They are not getting into, 112 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.720 you know, the answers of how it will be fixed yet because they say 113 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.759 there is a review underway. The Pentagon is going over its procedure and process 114 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.240 to make sure to see how this could have happened and to prevent it from 115 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.759 happening again. The White House has now ordered a review of Cabinet protocols for 116 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:11.840 delegating authority. So if there is any situation where an agency or department anticipates 117 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.559 delegating authority because a Cabinet secretary is unable to do their duties. The White 118 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.120 House needs to know about that. And you know, the question I think 119 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.240 yesterday was like, but shouldn't have already have been in place? And would 120 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:30.399 the something violated in this process? Like did they do something that violated what 121 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.519 was already on paper? The White House would not say that yesterday. You 122 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.279 know, the question I asked, which was just on a basic human level, 123 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.480 is when the President was told last Thursday afternoon that Wood Austin was in 124 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.240 the hospital, didn't he ask why? And did the Pentagon not tell the 125 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.720 White House why? Because how do they not know why until Tuesday? Exactly? 126 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.480 There's just, like you said, there's just so many things that went 127 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.080 wrong with this, and hopefully they'll get it straightened out, because I mean, 128 00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:01.960 luckily nothing super serious happened, and I'm so happy to hear that he's 129 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.440 expected to make a full recovery and all of that. But wow, that 130 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:11.320 just puts us in a bad place. Yeah, all right, Karen Travers, 131 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.519 thank you so much for the information, and you keep asking those questions. 132 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.519 We'd love to see it with you calm resotely all right, take care 133 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.399 a great day, thanks too. Let's get back to some of the stories 134 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.360 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. A high surf advisory 135 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.120 has been issued for La County beaches, the Malibu Coast, and Catalina and 136 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.399 Santa Barbara Islands. Officials say waves up to nine feet are possible. They 137 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.240 say dangerous rip currents and some minor coastal flooding also likely. They've warned people 138 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.200 to stay out of the water. The advisory is in effect from three to 139 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.559 day until noon tomorrow. Too cold to be in the water anyway. A 140 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.960 winter storm is moving into northern California. It's expected to pack a lot of 141 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.600 snow, so we're expecting major travel impacts, delays, chain controls, and 142 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:56.159 even potentially some road closures just given how heavy those snow rates are expected to 143 00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.960 be. Meteorologist Craig Shoemaker says ten to fourteen inches of snow are possible in 144 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.039 cities like Truckee. In South Lake Tahoe, conditions should improve on Thursday. 145 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.000 The system is a quick moover and it should dry out Thursday, but they'll 146 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.360 have there'll be a lot of snow removal that'll be needed after the storm. 147 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.279 Freezing cold temperatures are expected to settle in in northern California you see Irvine. 148 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:22.600 Researchers say hiring more staff is not enough to overcome a continuing quality of care 149 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.840 disparity for dementia patients in nursing homes. The study called for specialized training for 150 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.120 staff to be prepared for the wide ranging needs of dementia and Alzheimer's patients, 151 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.360 who make up almost half of nursing homes. Professor Dana Muchemel says high staff 152 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.519 turnover is also an issue. If every day you have a different staff person 153 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.720 coming into your womb for a person with dementia, it's very difficult to deal 154 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:48.080 with this and they tend to get agitated. They might be behavioral problems. 155 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.240 She says, more staff is important, but so always responding to a patient 156 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.360 who can't communicate well, or bathe, dress, or eat on their own. 157 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.159 In Orange County, Corbin Carson k if I need a couple hundred illegal 158 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.759 immigrants per day have been sleeping at the San Diego airport. If San Diego 159 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.879 tries to find places for them to stay, the migrants are staying two to 160 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.080 three days at a time and are getting food and medical attention from a couple 161 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.440 nonprofit groups. Seventy thousand migrants have been dropped off in San Diego since the 162 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.840 current surge started in September. About three thousand have arrived just this week. 163 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.080 McDonald's is bringing back the double Big Mac. That's four all beef patties, 164 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:28.039 not two special Sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and assesame 165 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.480 seed button. The Double Big Mac was first introduced in twenty twenty. It'll 166 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.679 return in two weeks. The price of the burger will vary based on individual 167 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:43.159 restaurants. Four all beef patties, that's crazy. Tonight, the Clippers take 168 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.320 on the Toronto Raptors at Crypto dot com, with tip off at seven thirty 169 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:52.919 on your home of Clippers Baseball not baseball.

House Republicans 177 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.159 are getting ready to hold the president's son Hunter in contempt of Congress for defying 178 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.039 a subpoena to appear for a closed door deposition. The committees leading the impeachment 179 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.840 inquiry into President biden Or scheduled to vote today on bringing the contempt resolution for 180 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:45.120 a full House vote. Plans to send astronauts to the Moon have been delayed. 181 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.320 NASA announced yesterday that the Artemis two mission with a crew on board, 182 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.679 which is set for November, is being pushed back to September of twenty twenty 183 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.720 five. Then Artemis three, the mission to have astronauts walk on the Moon, 184 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.279 has been pushed back to September of twenty twenty five. Six at six 185 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.159 oh five, it's handle on the news. California's state controller must really hate 186 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.080 people and make a lot of money. She wants to go after the Dodgers 187 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.200 New Stars show. Hey Otani we'll take a look at that. Right now, 188 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.600 let's say good morning to the host of Rich on Tech on KFI and 189 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:20.879 KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro coming to us from Sin City and CEES, and 190 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.919 good morning to you, Amy. I think most of Sin City is still 191 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:28.159 asleep at this hour, but not you. Not you, because you're excited 192 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:33.799 because it's Tech Central in Las Vegas right now for CEES. That's right, 193 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.240 this is CS twenty twenty four. It is back in a big way. 194 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.440 One hundred and thirty thousand people from over forty countries are expected to be here 195 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:46.120 this week, and it shows the show floor is pact. There's a lot 196 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.080 of people and a lot of stuff to see. Okay, so Rich you 197 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:54.720 said one hundred and thirty thousand people are they are there just like people like 198 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.559 me there? Or is it all people like you, like tech people, 199 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.000 tech reporters, that kind of thing. Well, there's a whole different you 200 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.559 know, they cross the whole spectrum. So you've got journalists, then you've 201 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.600 got companies that are trying to show off their stuff to both journalists but also 202 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.159 investors, but also people like Best Buy that come in and say, oh, 203 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.240 that's a cool accessory. Let me stock it in my store. So 204 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.600 there's a whole range of people. It is not open to the public, 205 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.960 so you can't just come here. Although I keep pressing cees to say, 206 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.639 hey, you can make gobs more money by just opening up one day of 207 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.399 this show to the public, letting them in charging a ticket price, But 208 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.960 so far they have not done that, and they don't really need to because 209 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.320 there's just so many people in this tech industry from around the world that come 210 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.799 here to meet, greet, and of course there's lots of parties and events 211 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:45.399 and it's just a whole tech circus here. Oh yeah, huge parties. 212 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.759 I've been to CES before and yeah, it's like comic Con for tech people. 213 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:50.919 Yeah, and it's fun. It's you know, you've got a whole 214 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.480 bunch of like minded people in one place that all meet once a year. 215 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.879 So not only do you get to see all your friends, but you get 216 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.799 to meet the people that you talk about. So all these companies like cover 217 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.159 throughout the year, you actually get to meet with the people behind those companies 218 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.440 if you hadn't seen them in person before. So u Plus you get to 219 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.399 see new stuff that's going to come out over the scope of the next year, 220 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.600 potentially never sometimes with a lot of this conceptual stuff. But no matter 221 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:17.840 what, you get to see the trends. You get to see what's happening, 222 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:19.519 and I always have a pretty good time. I would imagine that you 223 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.559 do. Now, one company that's not actually there is getting some of the 224 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:29.360 biggest buzzz I know. Isn't this wild? Leave it to Apple to release 225 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.080 the press release on the first day of CEES, saying, hey, by 226 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.919 the way, Apple Vision pro our new reality headset is going to launch in 227 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.080 the US on February second. Three orders are going to open. I think 228 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.360 this is next Friday, January nineteenth. This is their thirty five hundred dollars 229 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.919 headset. It's going to cost an extra one hundred dollars to one hundred and 230 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.919 fifty dollars if you need prescription glasses. But it's like having a four K 231 00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:57.200 TV on each I and yes, I've had this thing on my head. 232 00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:00.279 It is incredible. Thirty five hundred dollars. It's going to be a tough 233 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:04.200 sell for the average person, but this probably will change the industry once again 234 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:10.079 towards more augmented reality and virtual reality. Okay, so you said you've had 235 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.480 the thing on your head, and it's spectacular. So what does it look 236 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.200 like? I mean, is it does it look like real or does it 237 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:19.920 look animated like some other VR sets or give us give us a little let's 238 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.000 put it this way. Apple tricked me. So they put this thing on 239 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.559 my head, and I thought it was clear glass because I just saw the 240 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.039 room that I was sitting in. And then all of a sudden, it 241 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.200 started writing three D words in the middle of the living room that they were 242 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.839 just floating in mid air, and I said, oh, that's what you 243 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.240 just did. So the cameras are that clear where I literally thought I was 244 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.200 just sitting in the same room I was in, but it was actually being 245 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.000 projected onto my eyes through cameras on the front of this thing. It's actually 246 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.839 there's no see through lens on this even though it looks like you can see 247 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.319 the person's eyes that are inside of it, it's completely closed off. And 248 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.599 you know, they've got lots of cameras, lots of my for phones on 249 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.480 this thing, lots of sensors use your hands to control it, which is 250 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.160 different from a lot of the other ones. It's done really well. Again, 251 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.799 it's very expensive, but this is just the beginning. Hopefully they can 252 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:12.440 figure out a way to get the developers on board, get the apps that 253 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:17.200 we want to do, get the entertainment, and cheaper versions will follow. 254 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.799 Okay, yeah, I just I've put VR sets on and they are pretty 255 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.279 cool, like you play a little game. We went to the Some Dinos 256 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.079 Alive exhibit and we were throwing bones to velociraptors and I was like, this 257 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:37.119 is so cool. I would imagine that that is very very rudimentary compared to 258 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.880 what you're seeing now. It's about twenty five thousand times that. So for 259 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:44.960 this one, this demo, they had a dinosaur come out of the wall 260 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.359 that I was able to get up out of my seat, step up and 261 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:51.680 pet the dinosaur. Now, obviously I couldn't feel it, but it was 262 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.920 that real where it felt like it was right there in front of me coming 263 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.279 out of the wall. I mean, it's really quite incredible. I assume 264 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.559 that you'll be able to test these out in this store, you know, 265 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.559 but they are going to be in all the Apple stores at least to purchase. 266 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.920 I assume they're going to have some sort of demo, and I think 267 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.240 there's going to be a pretty long line for that. Yeah, and when 268 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:12.759 are they going to be available? So February second, they are launching in 269 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:18.079 the stores. People can order them site on scene January nineteenth. Okay, 270 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.279 so let's talk about some of the other really cool things you've seen as you've 271 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.559 perused the conference floor. Yeah. So one thing that's just getting you know, 272 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.720 this is kind of like epitomizes cees. You don't really need it, 273 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.079 but it's here. It's one hundred and thirty seven inch unfolding TV. What 274 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.960 this is from a company named c Seed. I don't know what this is 275 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:42.160 all about, but basically it's a giant TV. You put it in your 276 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:47.079 house and they said, you know, this is for like super super ultra 277 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.799 rich people that have like a penthouse that have windows that they don't want to 278 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:55.480 block with the TV and so it folds up so you get less coverage there. 279 00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.000 And is it like the it's one hundred Is it like the foldable phone 280 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.680 where the screen goes is you know no, er, no, not really 281 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:08.119 because this this is actually it looks like four separate screens that just could sort 282 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.200 of accordion fold inwards. It happens in ninety seconds. It's one hundred and 283 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:18.039 fifty thousand dollars and is uh you know, yeah, this is not something 284 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.319 we're buying anytime soon. But again, it's just one of those things that's 285 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.160 on my Instagram atverage on tech. You just have to see it and say, 286 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.000 Okay, now I know that exists in our world. Okay, what 287 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.200 else, let's see what else did I see? Oh? This was actually 288 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.319 really cool. You know this idea of like home health checkups doing all this 289 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.000 stuff that you know, you go to the doctor, they take two readings 290 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.319 and you're like, oh, I have to drive all the way over here 291 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.680 for that. Yeah. So we're getting more into telehealth and Whippings has this 292 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.799 new thing called Demo, which feels like a very futuristic device. It's a 293 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:53.880 four and one device that combines a thermometer, heart reading so ECG, blood 294 00:20:53.880 --> 00:21:00.559 oxygen readings, and a stethoscope. So the idea here is it can not 295 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.200 only measure all this stuff temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen, your lung 296 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.079 and heart sounds, but you can save all this stuff to the app and 297 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.319 if you do, like a telehealth appointment with your doctor, you can say 298 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.279 all right, now put the doethoscope here or here or here or here and 299 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.200 I can see the readings from that over the internet. I mean, it's 300 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.839 pretty cool. It's gonna be two hundred and fifty dollars. Obviously, if 301 00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:26.400 you have some sort of chronic illness or asthma or something where you're constantly taking 302 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.400 these types of readings, this is a really useful device and could be really 303 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.720 fun for hypochondriacs too. Yeah, you know all this stuff. Just just 304 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.119 google, just google anything, and you're gonna die. That's the main thing. 305 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.920 You know that, all right? And then away from CES, you 306 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.759 went and saw the sphere and I would love to hear about that, because 307 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.720 it just every time I see it, I'm just amazed. Looking at it 308 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:53.000 from the outside. Yes, we've all seen the outside. It's the world's 309 00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:57.279 largest spherical structure, five hundred and sixteen feet wide, three hundred and sixty 310 00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:03.599 six feet tall, five hundred and eighty thousand little led bulbs on the outside 311 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.680 that they program into all kinds of fund images and videos. But when you're 312 00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:14.200 inside sixteen by sixteen k screen, it is it's a dome kind of effect 313 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.960 and it is just wild. Let me put it this way. The video 314 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.480 that they have to shoot there like to shoot the movies for this thing. 315 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:27.519 Your iPhone could record four point seven seconds of that, so it is very 316 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.799 high quality. It's quite impressive. Now, I didn't get to watch an 317 00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:34.200 actual movie on it yesterday. I'm doing that later this week. But the 318 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.720 entire experience, I can tell you if you come to Vegas, you have 319 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.720 to do it because it starts in the lobby, you talk to robots and 320 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.319 it just continues. It's quite quite incredible. Okay, Well, Rich, 321 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.880 I'm gonna let you loose because I think you got a lot more exploring to 322 00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.480 do, and then you can give us the latest. And I want to 323 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.359 find out next week from you what your favorite thing was that you found at 324 00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.920 CES. I will come up with the list. Hey, great, thank 325 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:06.000 you so much. Of course, you can watch Rich on KTLA all the 326 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:10.279 time. You can also hear him weekends here on KFI. It's Rich on 327 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.359 Tech. Thanks so much. Rich, Thanks Amy. Have a great day, 328 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:15.799 all right you too. Let's get back to some of the stories coming 329 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.599 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. People who live in Orange County 330 00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:23.519 are trying to stop the Irvine Company from building hundreds of homes in a wildlife 331 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:27.240 corridor. The Irvine Company is planning to build more than eleven hundred homes on 332 00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:30.839 four hundred acres of land in the city of Orange, where many different animals 333 00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:34.880 live. Joel Robinson, with a No Orange Heights campaign, says the project 334 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:40.000 would prevent the animals from using Irvine Park and Peters Canyon, so it would 335 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:45.480 block their access or completely eradicate their ability to find food, shelter, and 336 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.079 all of that.

It dropped back down 346 00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:41.079 when the SEC chairman posted a tweet clarifying the account had been compromised. Nearly 347 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.720 seven hundred flights have already been canceled today as deadly storms batter the US. 348 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.880 At least four people have been killed as severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, damaging winds, 349 00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:53.720 and baseball sized hail move across the US, and not great news for 350 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:57.839 people across much of the US because another storm system is about to move through. 351 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.359 A judge in l Las Vegas has set bail at seven hundred and fifty 352 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:06.200 thousand dollars for the man charged in the nineteen ninety six murder of rapper Tupac 353 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:11.480 Shakur.

Aami's on it, Damie's on this, as 363 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:03.240 on it, Damie's on it. What am I on? I'm on lots 364 00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.480 and lots of streaming shows. There's so much content out there, It's like, 365 00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:08.559 how do you know what to watch? And a lot of times I 366 00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:15.160 take recommendations from friends or co workers, and so that's what I'm hoping to 367 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.640 do for you, is give you my recommendation and some of the good things 368 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:21.200 and maybe some of the things that you just might want to pass up on 369 00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:26.480 because there's a lot out there. So today I'm on Opposites. We're going 370 00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:30.839 to look at two different shows, one Leave the World Behind and two Christopher 371 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.759 Robin. I know they sound like opposites right out of the get go, 372 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:38.119 and they are. So I was doing my traditional diving down a rabbit hole, 373 00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:41.000 and when I start watching things, then that leads me to other things 374 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:47.599 as I'm binging shows over the weekend, and we had talked to Jason Nathanson 375 00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.440 about Leave the World Behind, and so I wanted to take a look at 376 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.119 it because he didn't really give a lot of details about it, which to 377 00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.680 me is usually a good thing because you know, you don't want to give 378 00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.880 away the whole plot. But I will tell you that the movies on Netflix. 379 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.920 It starts Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawk, Mahersha Ali, and Kevin Bacon's 380 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.200 in a part of it, So I'm like, okay, star studed cast, 381 00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.720 isn't this great? And Julia Roberts and her family live in New York 382 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:17.920 City and within the first five minutes they establish that it's really crappy in the 383 00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:21.039 city. They want to get away from it all, and so Julia Roberts's 384 00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:25.799 character rents an airbnb for her and her husband and her family for the weekend 385 00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:27.720 so they can have this getaway. And it all starts out great, but 386 00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:36.640 very quickly turns very creepy. The movie itself doesn't move fast. It's a 387 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:41.839 very slow moving, non action packed movie, but a lot of little creepy 388 00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.480 things start happening, like computers start working and cell service isn't working, and 389 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:51.279 then the Internet goes down and the TVs aren't working, and then animals start 390 00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:53.400 acting strange and this all happens pretty early on, and you're like, what 391 00:27:53.799 --> 00:28:00.759 is going on? Is it cyber attack? Is it an em? I 392 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.759 mean, like what is going on? And so you kind of through the 393 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.160 movie or watching to see what's going on. And as the family settles in, 394 00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:11.920 a father and daughter who claimed that they own the home that the Julia 395 00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:18.079 Robertson her family are renting show up and then that unfolds the whole different set 396 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:23.240 of circumstances and the movie feels like get Out. You remember that movie, 397 00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:30.160 really creepy movie didn't really necessarily move that fast, but you just had this 398 00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:37.880 foreboding sense of negati negativism. It had that same vibe. And what I 399 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.240 hated about it is there's no hope, there's no redemption. The characters aren't 400 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:44.599 really likable. And I love Julia Roberts. She does a good job playing 401 00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:48.680 an unlikable character, and the movie kind of leaves you feeling empty and unsettled. 402 00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:52.039 And maybe that's the intention of it, but I mean, so it 403 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.240 was interesting to watch, probably not going to go down on my list of 404 00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:57.240 favorites, and if you want to feel good about the world, this is 405 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:03.119 not the movie to watch. On the flips. There's Christopher Robin stirring Ewan 406 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.880 McGregor and I don't know how in the world I miss that. So it's 407 00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:11.480 a live action when of Disney's live actions, but it doesn't follow a storyline 408 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:17.680 of like Little Mermaid follows the animated storyline pretty closely. This is Ewan McGregor 409 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:22.359 as Christopher Robin, and he's all grown up. He's left Pooh behind and 410 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:27.000 the one hundred acre would so it's a rather slow paced movie, but it's 411 00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.359 kind of like Hook, Like Christopher Robbin has grown up and remember when Peter 412 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:36.000 Pan had grown up and forgotten never never Land and all that stuff. But 413 00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:41.839 Christopher Robin gets reinduced to his child reintroduced to his childhood friend Winnie the Pooh. 414 00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.880 And then there's also e Or and Piglet, and they've done the animation 415 00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:52.039 like remember Ted the movie with the stuffed animal with the really foul mouth. 416 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:53.799 Well it's like that, except you know, it's winning the poos, So 417 00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:59.559 he's adorable and cute and huggable and the animation or however, they do that 418 00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:03.559 is it's so amazing that I'm just transfixed with it the whole movie and thinking, 419 00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.720 Oh, with AI, they're going to have those kind of animals like 420 00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:11.480 that come to life in the next five years. But anyway, the story 421 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:17.319 is very sweet, the message is hopeful. Ewan McGregor of course has some 422 00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:19.759 sort of a revelation and remembers what it was like to be a kid when 423 00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:23.319 he was Christopher Robin the child in the Hundred Acre Wood. Like I said, 424 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:26.759 the animation is spectacular, and of course his Tigger in it, and 425 00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:30.200 Tigger is my absolute favorite, and he is so cute in this movie. 426 00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.839 So you know, if you want to curl up and watch a happy and 427 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.880 a feel good movie, that's going to make you smile just a little bit. 428 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.319 Christopher Robin. So those are the opposites for Amy's on it this week. 429 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.160 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 430 00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:48.720 four hour newsroom. La County DA's office has declined to file felony charges against 431 00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:53.119 Dodger's pitcher Julio Urias for his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence. Orius was 432 00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:56.880 placed on administratively eve in September after he allegedly got into a fight with his 433 00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:02.440 wife outside BMO Stadium and pushed her against defence, pulled her by the hair 434 00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:06.000 or shoulders. He hasn't been with the Dodgers since. His case will now 435 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:11.079 go to the City Attorney's office for possible misdemeanor charges. The La County DA 436 00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:15.519 had said that the evidence just didn't warrant charging him with a felony. Investigators 437 00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:21.079 in Riverside are trying to identify the last of eight women murdered thirty one years 438 00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:23.839 ago by the so called Happy Face Killer. The tragedy of it all, 439 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:29.319 not knowing if possibly she was a mom. Riverside County Sheriff's investigator Amy Contrera 440 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.519 says Keith Jesperson picked up the woman near Victorville, not knowing why she was 441 00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.920 there, why she was hitch hiking. Riverside County DA Mike Kestron says the 442 00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:40.960 woman's about twenty to thirty years old, with shaggy blonde hair, about five 443 00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:44.119 foot six, one hundred and forty five pounds, and had two small dots 444 00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:48.480 tattooed on her right thumb. In every case murder case cold cases, we 445 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.359 never stopped just percent is serving multiple life sentences. Corbin Carson kf I News. 446 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:56.759 A woman at Massachusetts accused of trying to poison her husband has denied any 447 00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:02.640 wrongdoing. Did not try to poison my husband, Roxanne du Set says her 448 00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:07.319 husband probably just had a stroke. They have no sayings at the hospital. 449 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:09.720 Everything was negative. Well, the report was negative. Paul Ducet was only 450 00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:15.279 tested for opioids, cocaine, and alcohol. Police say they found texts between 451 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:21.920 Roxanne and someone she thought was soap opera star thorsten Ka talking about collecting life 452 00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:25.640 insurance. They say one text said she was making soup with a special potion. 453 00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:31.680 The second Wednesday of January is National Take the Stairs Day. The American 454 00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:37.680 Lung Association says the walking holiday should encourage folks to skip the elevator while staying 455 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:43.039 fit. Health officials say stair climbing supports lung health, blood circulation, and 456 00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.920 prevents the risk of stroke. Always a good idea to take the stairs. 457 00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:51.000 Try to do it whenever I can skip that elevator. I want to tell 458 00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:52.680 you about something. I don't know if you've been to a museum recently, 459 00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:58.599 but I just recently started going to museums around LA. One of my favorites 460 00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:05.400 is the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, and right now LA museums are doing 461 00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:08.680 free museum days for parts of and a couple of them have already passed, 462 00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:15.359 like at Norton Simon that was last weekend, but there's free admission to museums 463 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:21.359 around LA this month. The Holocaust Museum is free this weekend, next weekend 464 00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:25.759 and the weekend after that.

Desconzo Gardens, which again 467 00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:40.720 you might recall we went out there for Enchanted, which was fabulous for the 468 00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:45.960 holidays. That's free this weekend, and it is so so beautiful, and 469 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:49.200 it's supposed to be sunny, so I think it might be a nice nice 470 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:51.640 You might want to bundle up because it's not gonna be super warm, but 471 00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:55.160 maybe head out to Desconzo Gardens and just wander around. And also the La 472 00:33:55.319 --> 00:34:00.920 Arboretum and Botanic Garden, which was another place where we went out and saw 473 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:07.359 a fabulous night LightScape show for the holidays, that is also free.

Riverside 486 00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:08.519 County Lawmaker Bill as Sale is introducing a bill that would stop undocumented residents in 487 00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:14.840 California from getting access to taxpayer funded health insurance. He says it's unconscionable to 488 00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:21.000 spend billions of taxpayer dollars to give universal healthcare to illegal immigrants when citizens can't 489 00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:24.280 even afford their own healthcare. The next major phase of moving the retired Space 490 00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:30.760 Shuttle Endeavor into launch position at the California Science Center starts today.

The rocket 493 00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:45.679 motors for the shuttle are already upright, and then the shuttle itself will be 494 00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.199 moved next. We're just minutes away from handling the news this morning. We 495 00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.000 now know that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has prostate cancer. What we don't know 496 00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:55.639 is why it took so long for Austin to share that information with the White 497 00:35:55.679 --> 00:36:02.400 House. Let's say good morning now to ABC's senior elections analyst Jeffrey Scaley. 498 00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:07.159 Good morning, Jeffrey, Hey, good morning, Thanks for having me so 499 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.679 anytime. Right now, it looks like President Biden and former President Trump are 500 00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:14.920 going to be the two who face off in the race for the White House. 501 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:19.719 But we're going to play a little game of what if and let it 502 00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:23.000 tell us, Jeffrey, what do you see happening if a major party drops 503 00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:28.679 candidate drops out of the race. Yes, I mean, look, it's 504 00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:32.159 on a lot of people's minds because President Biden is eighty one and former President 505 00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:36.559 Trump is seventy seven, and you know, they were already the oldest presidents 506 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:44.239 elected when they won in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty, so, you know, 507 00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:47.159 so it's a concern that shows up in polling people especially I think Biden 508 00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.400 is too old to be a president, and many think Trump is too old 509 00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:52.760 to president. So something could happen to health crisis, what have you. 510 00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:55.719 So, in terms of what happens if one of them drops out, a 511 00:36:55.760 --> 00:37:00.199 lot depends on the timing. For Republicans, you know, Trump were to 512 00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:04.239 something happened to him tomorrow and he had to drop out of the race. 513 00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:07.800 You know, you have Ron DeSantis Nikki Haley, two notable, well funded 514 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:10.679 candidates running for president. I think even though it'd be a shock, I 515 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:16.159 think the primary would probably proceed a pace somewhat like we're used to on the 516 00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:21.280 Democratic side, though President Biden doesn't really have any major competition. I mean, 517 00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:23.920 Dean Phillips and Mary and Williamson are running against him. But Biden is 518 00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:29.159 you know, basically a lock to win renomination unless something happens to him. 519 00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:35.559 So you know that that that creates more of an issue for Democrats. Okay, 520 00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:40.119 and put on along with Trump, which is unlikely that he would drop 521 00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:44.360 out of the race because of health, but could because of health issues. 522 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:49.199 He also has his legal issues, but that's nobody really thinks that that would 523 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:54.239 stop him, right right. Look with the legal issues, you know, 524 00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:58.559 look, Trump could be convicted of something, but it's extremely unlikely that he 525 00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:02.559 would be in jail before the election. And even then if that were to 526 00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:07.079 somehow happen, he could still run for president. There is president for that. 527 00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:12.559 Socialist candidate Eugene Debs in nineteen twenty ran for president from jail, So 528 00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:16.119 you know that that in and of itself would not would not keep him from 529 00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:19.880 running. Okay, Now, on the Democrats side, like you said, 530 00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:24.119 there is no heir apparent there. I mean, the other option is Kamala 531 00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:30.840 Harris, which her ratings are lower than Biden's ratings. There's Governor Newsom's name 532 00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:36.440 has been bandied about, but still playing the one what if game. If 533 00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:39.760 President Biden said I'm not running or something happened and he wasn't able to run, 534 00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:44.480 could we even get those other people on the ballot before the election? 535 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:49.840 Right? So, look, Kamala Harris is vice president, is sort of 536 00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:54.480 a clear alternative for Democrats if some sort of crisis with Biden popped up, 537 00:38:54.880 --> 00:39:00.639 right, So she'd be sort of a safe harbor in a time of uncertainty 538 00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:04.440 on the nomination front. But I think a lot does depend on, you 539 00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:07.840 know, how how soon does something like that happen, Because you're exactly right, 540 00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:13.519 the primary finally filing deadline so to get your name on the ballot has 541 00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:16.920 now passed in more than half of states, and very quickly you will have 542 00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:22.840 very few states left. And also with our nomination process, in terms of 543 00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:28.079 allocating delegates through election results, by mid March, both parties will have allocated 544 00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:31.079 more than half, which means you can't win a majority if you're if you're 545 00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:34.920 another candidate on the ballot. So you know, you could try to run 546 00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:38.719 as a writing candidate, but it gets very hard to do it via the 547 00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:45.119 ballot quickly, and so a lot would come down to what do delegates on 548 00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:47.400 the Democratic side who are allocated to Joe Biden, what do they do? 549 00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.119 And so that you know, in large part a lot of them would be 550 00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:55.039 free agents headed into the Democrat National Convention. And so you know, if 551 00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:59.840 something happened in April or May, you could imagine a scenario where if there 552 00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:05.000 are concerns about Kamala Harris as the presidential nominee, that you could have someone 553 00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:10.559 like a Newsom or someone else trying to run a campaign that is very unfamiliar 554 00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:14.440 with us today because this is the way our primary system works now, but 555 00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:16.599 one that in the past would have been quite normal, which is reaching out 556 00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:20.880 to delegates trying to get them to support you when it actually comes to a 557 00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:23.719 vote on the floor of the convention. Yeah. Well, and I know 558 00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:28.559 that we're just playing the what if game, but as we're seeing kind of 559 00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:30.920 anything can happen, and we'll be watching for the next ten months because I 560 00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:36.840 think it's going to be really interesting whatever happens. Yes, I think twenty 561 00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:39.480 twenty four is going to be very interesting one way or the other, and 562 00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:44.239 probably especially for you, Jeffrey, because you're a senior elections analyst, so 563 00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:46.400 this is right in your wheelhouse. So I hope we get to talk to 564 00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:52.599 you lots more as we make our way through the election season. Sounds great, 565 00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:53.639 all right, so much, Thanks so much. Let's get back to 566 00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:55.760 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. The 567 00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:01.039 Pentagon has confirmed SEP Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was admitted to the ICU because 568 00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:07.480 of complications from treatment for prostate cancer.

Pentagon spokesman Major General Patrick Ryder 570 00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:17.559 says the White House and the Pentagon didn't learn the medical details until Tuesday morning 571 00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:21.719 while Austin was still at Walter Reed Medical Center, and do not have any 572 00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:24.119 information to provide in terms of when he might be released from the hospital, 573 00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:28.920 but will be sure to keep you updated and until then we will continue to 574 00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:32.320 release daily status updates on his condition. The White House has ordered a review 575 00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:38.039 of Cabinet protocols for delegating authority. A seventy one year old man who spent 576 00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:43.159 forty years in federal prison for robbing for banks has been arrested in Sun Valley 577 00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:46.760 for bank robbery. The LAPD says Edward Bell walked into a bank on Vineland 578 00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:51.320 Avenue with a gun last month, grabbed an employee and forced the worker to 579 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:54.920 restricted access door. Police say he threatened to shoot the employee if he wasn't 580 00:41:54.960 --> 00:42:02.320 allowed in. He got away with more than sixty thousand dollars.
