WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:05.759 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:16.280 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:29.120 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. It's 4 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:33.439 five o'clock. This is your wake up call for Tuesday, May twenty eight. 5 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:39.119 We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Good morning, I'm Amy King. 6 00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.119 I know feels like Monday, but it's Tuesday, which means we're one 7 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:48.159 day closer to the weekend. See another reason to get up and get going 8 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:53.880 this morning. Here's what's ahead on today's wake up call. Another metro bus 9 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:59.359 driver has been attacked. A possibly homeless woman lunged at the driver on a 10 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:03.759 bus in down town, LA yesterday, grabbed the driver's glasses, broke them, 11 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:08.400 and scratched the driver's face. No arrests have been made. Israeli strikes 12 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:14.400 on Rafa have killed at least sixteen people in southern Gaza. The latest strike 13 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.760 happened in the same area where Israel targeted what it said was a Hamas compound 14 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.760 Sunday night. That strike ignited a fire in a camp for Palestinians and killed 15 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:29.400 at least forty five people. Israel has called that one a tragic mistake. 16 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.040 Handle's going to have more on this on Handle on the News, which comes 17 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:37.640 up right after wake up call. An aggressive shark has bumped a surfer off 18 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.000 his board, prompting the closure of waters along a two mile stretch of beach 19 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:46.480 near the T Street Beach in San Clemente. Another person says he saw something 20 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.239 dark in the water swimming toward him. No one was hurt. Google's got 21 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.400 a new AI feature rolled out a few weeks ago, and it's offering some 22 00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.879 rather unusual advice to users, including telling someone to add glue woo to tomato 23 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:07.159 sauce to help cheese stick to pizza better. We're gonna find out about some 24 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.960 other suggestions offered by the AI with ABC's Mike Debuski in just a couple of 25 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.400 minutes. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI 26 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.240 twenty four hour newsroom. Academic workers at UCLA and UC Davis are going on 27 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.120 strike today. The union members voted more than a week ago to authorize the 28 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:29.360 strike because it says the UC system has infringed on free speech rights of pro 29 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:34.840 Palestinian protesters and mishandled how it dealt with the protests on campuses. Workers at 30 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.120 u See Santa Cruz went on strike last week. Pro Palestinian protesters have spent 31 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:45.439 part of the Memorial Day holiday demonstrating in downtown LA. They walked from LA 32 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.879 near a street in La near City Hall to a nearby on ramp to the 33 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.120 one on one Freeway yesterday afternoon that caused some northbound freeway lanes to be closed 34 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:58.719 for a time. The group then continued onto City Hall. A guy with 35 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:02.759 a gun has stolen a French bulldog from a couple in Montebello. Maria Felix 36 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.439 says she and her husband were walking their dog, Jennifer Sunday night when a 37 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.520 man got out of a car and demanded the husband's rolex and the two year 38 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.879 old pup. Wherever you are, please return us to us. We're good 39 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.319 parents, We're good. We will. He love her so much, we 40 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:23.560 wanted to come back home. The couple tells Katie La they don't have kids, 41 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.360 so Jennifer is all they have. Jennifer is a spotted brown French bulldog 42 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.599 that weighs about twenty five pounds. The robber was in a silver Kia Optima 43 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:37.520 that had no back bumper. A man who attacked former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's 44 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:42.479 husband with a hammer in San Francisco is said to be re sentenced today because 45 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.000 of a court error. The judge who sentenced David to Pop earlier this month 46 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.159 to thirty years in prison says she made a mistake by not giving him a 47 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.039 chance to speak in court. De Pop broke into the Pelosi's home two years 48 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:58.599 ago. He was caught on police body camera video hitting Paul Pelosi with a 49 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:03.439 hammer. To Pop will be re sentenced today. US Cellular customers are about 50 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:09.039 to become T Mobile customers if this deal goes through. T Mobile has announced 51 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.879 a deal to acquire almost all of US Cellular in a four billion dollar deal 52 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:18.319 that will include taking on US Cellular's debt. Fallen soldiers have been remembered at 53 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:23.839 the Nixon Presidential Library in Your Belinda. The event included a flyover with old 54 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:28.519 warplanes, a prayer, and a keynote speech by a veteran wounded in combat. 55 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.839 Joe Lopez with the Richard Nixon Foundation says he was happy to see many 56 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.399 kids and attendance. They get to see people in uniform. They get to 57 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:40.240 hear from veterans who've served our country, They get to see planes fly over 58 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.639 and people dressed in red, white and blue. More than five hundred people 59 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.519 attended yesterday's service. The crowd was treated to a patriotic performance by the Huntington 60 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:53.199 Beach Concert Band after the initial ceremony and your Belinda Blake trolley k if I 61 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:58.759 News, let's say good morning now to ABC's Mike Debuski. Mike, Google 62 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.120 has rolled out it's a I overview. It's been a few weeks. How's 63 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:08.160 it going rocky? In some cases literally amy, because this is an AI 64 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:13.319 generated uh sort of feature that Google has been integrating into its search function. 65 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.560 And the idea here is that it's going to present you with an AI generated 66 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.720 answer to your question, as opposed to a page of blue links that you 67 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.079 would traditionally see that maybe link out to websites that could answer your question. 68 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.720 Google just wants to provide you with unanswer. But so I said, it's 69 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.279 been a rocky rollout. In fact, in one case, a person reported 70 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:40.000 that they saw that an AI overview told them to eat rocks, which you 71 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.759 know is not correct. Don't eat rocks. That's what a question was. 72 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.439 The question was is it healthy to eat rocks? And the AI generated answer 73 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:53.959 said yes, but only small ones, and regardless, don't eat rocks. 74 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.759 That's bad. You know, is a nice story right here. It's another 75 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.439 story you might be able to get by. But maybe that's not reck mended. 76 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.439 Okay, either way, It sort of underscores the challenge that Google faces 77 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.399 here, which is that a lot of these generative AI tools hallucinate, they 78 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.680 get things wrong, and the rock question is just one of many answers that 79 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.399 this AI overviews feature has gotten wrong. Another one that got a lot of 80 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.480 attention online in the last few weeks is that a person asked Google, hey, 81 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.399 how do I get the cheese to stick to my pizza if I'm making 82 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:29.360 pizza at home? And the AI generated response said, you can add glue 83 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:34.120 to your tomato sauce. And it was sourcing that answer from a Reddit comment 84 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.720 from more than ten years ago, which in context was clearly a joke, 85 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:43.759 but the AI system took as fact as a real human generated suggestion. Okay, 86 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.879 again, I feels like we shouldn't have to, you know, say 87 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:47.399 this, but like, don't eat glue either, don't eat rock. State 88 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.639 glue. Yeah, it seems to be hung up on that. Okay. 89 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:57.639 So just to as a refresher for what AI does is it takes everything that's 90 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:02.079 on the Internet and searches out answers that are already there or for information that's 91 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.639 already there. It doesn't come up with the information, right, that's right. 92 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:13.360 So Google is kind of sourcing this information from various websites around the Internet. 93 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.600 We don't know specifically what goes into training this model, but we do 94 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.079 know that it's a lot of human generated writing. They you know, that 95 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.839 could be you know, a Reddit comment, it could be a Facebook comment, 96 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:28.000 but it could also be like academic papers and news articles and that type 97 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:32.680 of thing. It really scans the whole web and using kind of context clues 98 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:38.519 and using its understanding of what you're searching for, it provides you with an 99 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.040 answer to your question, as opposed to a bunch of different options that could 100 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.000 answer your question. The problem there, of course, is that occasionally that 101 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.720 answer is wrong, right, and confidently wrong. Google is presenting this to 102 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.680 you as if it is a real hardened fact, as if you know, 103 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.879 you would be traditionally googling something and trusting the answer when in fact, this 104 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.759 technology you know, remains pretty imperfect, but they're kind of it's come fround 105 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:05.240 the internet. It kind of doesn't fact check itself, or it's very difficult 106 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.600 to write. As we said, it's kind of you know, hard for 107 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.079 this system to discern between what's a joke and what is you know, a 108 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.879 real fact, and it also struggles with other things, right, it has 109 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.120 you know that there was another problem that someone raised where it asked, hey, 110 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.439 what has the value of the US dollar been over the past twenty years 111 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.600 or how is it fluctuated? And it got that question horribly wrong, right, 112 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.160 It said that the US dollar has you know, collapsed in value, 113 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:35.120 when in fact it has gone up slightly. And the idea here is that 114 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.360 it's actually kind of bad at math, right, like that Gemini is you 115 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:43.320 know, kind of their large language model struggles with sort of basic math calculations, 116 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.200 so any questions around that might be more likely to be wrong or more 117 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:52.120 likely to be hallucinatory. In addition to that, it's very difficult to distinguish 118 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.000 between you know, people who have the same name, right, So there 119 00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.360 you know, are people who share their names with presidents who are also famous, 120 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.120 or people who share their names with actors and and you know, Gemini 121 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.159 is difficult, you know, has trouble discerning you know, who's the real 122 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.480 you know, Woodrow Wilson, for example, and that can provide some difficult 123 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.720 responses. But again, these are just problems that all AI companies face. 124 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.639 It seems like Google's getting a lot of heat for this because they have put 125 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.919 it into a tool technology product that a lot of people use, which is 126 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:28.080 of course Google Search. So was it maybe that Google rolled it out before 127 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.480 it was ready for prime time? It seems that way. But you could 128 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:37.039 also make the argument that all artificial artificially generated you know, responses and chatbots 129 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.919 and that type of thing are a little too soon to market, right chack 130 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:46.679 GPT gets things wrong. Perplexity AI gets things wrong. Many of these tools 131 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.799 get things wrong, and that is a problem that the AI industry continues to 132 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.000 struggle with as it moves forward. That these things hallucinate, they still get 133 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.000 things wrong. But you know, you go back two years now to when 134 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.159 Open launched chat GPT. That really lit a fire under Google, which had 135 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.919 been working on a lot of the same technology but hadn't made a public facing, 136 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.120 kind of consumer ready product yet. And many point to that moment when 137 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.440 chat GPT hit the market, as when Google said, hey, we got 138 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.759 to get our own tools out there. We can't, you know, have 139 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.000 our lunch eaten by this upstart open AI company. And that, I think 140 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.720 is why you're seeing now Google start to integrate this into its various products, 141 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:30.840 because of course it stretches itself, you know, across a whole much wider 142 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.679 industry than open ai does. But again, you know, it comes with 143 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.000 some risk, which is you know, now rearing its head with this AI 144 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.519 overviews feature. So use it, but use your common sense as well. 145 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.039 If it tells you to eat rocks, maybe take a second look. Always 146 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.320 double check, right, I mean the one with the rocks, you know, 147 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.159 yeah, And you know you might say, hey, that's common sense. 148 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.559 I would know how to discern between that, but you know, you 149 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.840 might not know when to discern between you know, the date a certain president 150 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.919 took office, which you know, the system has also gotten wrong, so 151 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.399 that these subtler ones that are maybe less flashy than you know, putting glue 152 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.919 on pizza are kind of the more insidious ones. But that is that is 153 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.480 that is the way of the world, and it's also worth mentioning Amy that 154 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.399 this is a feature that you can turn off. You can go into the 155 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.480 settings of Google Search and just toggle off AI overviews, but it is on 156 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.039 by default. Okay, good to know. ABC's Mike Debuski, thank you 157 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.240 so much for letting you know how these ais are. Still I love the 158 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.360 term hallucinating. Yes, absolutely, I'm now hungry for pizza as well. 159 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.440 So yeah, just go address that, keep the glue away from it, 160 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.240 right, Thank you, Yank. Bye. All right, let's get back 161 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.759 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 162 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:45.759 Special Olympics Southern California is launching its law Enforcement Tortu run this morning. San 163 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:50.240 Diego Assistant Chief Bernie Cologne, who has been involved with Special Olympics for two 164 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.600 decades, says law enforcement and athletes will make up the relay team that will 165 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.879 get started at the Chula Vista Police Department. Helps them build confidence and it 166 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.120 helps them build friendships, teamwork how that they otherwise wouldn't have. The flame 167 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.559 will be carried over one thousand miles in the next two weeks. The Torch 168 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.360 run ends at cal State Long Beach, where the cauldron will be lit for 169 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.519 the special Olympics opening ceremonies. June eighth, an elected member of a water 170 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.480 district in Ventura County has been since to thirty days in jail for stealing water. 171 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.919 Investigators say from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty one, Daniel Nauman used bypasses 172 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.840 on two commercial pumps to divert water into his own crops before the water flowed 173 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.759 through meters used to calculate usage and billing. Nowman, who owns Nowmon Family 174 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.480 Farms and Auxnard, had been a member of the United Water Conservation District and 175 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.440 an alternate board member of the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency. Prosecutors say, 176 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.000 now'm install about thirty thousand dollars worth of water, which he's finally paid back, 177 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.919 and he'll begin his jail sentence on June seventeenth. Steve Gregory, King 178 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.039 of fineows Some LA City Council members say they want clearer guidance on which non 179 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.360 government flags can be flown on buildings like city Hall. The council is set 180 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.919 to vote to allow the Pride flag to fly during June. Council President Paul 181 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.480 Krekorian says it should clear any legal challenges. My preference would be to have 182 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.720 a proper ordinance that allows that complies with the Constitution and the law. The 183 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:20.600 council is also requesting guidance for future flag raising decisions, like what flags can 184 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.200 be flown during the Olympics in twenty twenty eight. Current city ordinance only allows 185 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.840 government and pow flags to be flown on city property. A black bear named 186 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.360 Oreo has found his way into a home in Monrovia. The bear was caught 187 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.360 on video over the weekend leaving the house with a box full of of all 188 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:43.159 things oreos in his mouth. Oreo has been spotted all over the neighborhood, 189 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.399 recently roaming backyards looking for food and taking a dip in swimming pools. Prosecutors 190 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:54.559 and defense are set to deliver closing arguments to the jury in former President Trump's 191 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.120 hush money trial. It's each side's last chance to score points with the jury 192 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:03.000 before deliberation begin. The arguments are expected to last all day. Former heavyweight 193 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:09.720 champion Mike Tyson is reportedly doing great after experiencing a medical emergency on a flight 194 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.679 from Miami to lax. Officials say paramedics boarded the plane on Sunday to take 195 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.039 Tyson off. The flight Once it landed at Lax passengers had to wait almost 196 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.320 a half an hour then to get off the plane. Tyson rep says Tyson 197 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.919 had an ulcer flare up, but he is doing good now. A young 198 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.720 mountain lion has been spotted roaming through a neighborhood in Thousand Oaks. Surveillance video 199 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.519 at one home shows it chasing a housecat a few days ago. The neighborhood 200 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:39.200 is near Los Padres Trail, a wildlife preserve. At six oh five, 201 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.120 It's handle on the news, Toyota says it's done with the Olympics. Bill's 202 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.559 going to tell you why. Right now. Let's say good morning to the 203 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.480 host of How to Money on KFI, Joel Larsgard. Joel, I'm a 204 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.879 big football fan, but you're saying I should find a new sport you and 205 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.200 Kno. He was already giving me crap about this this morning because I'm going 206 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.159 to tell people to watch less football, and man, this is an American 207 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.639 tradition on an important you know, coming off an important holiday weekend, and 208 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.039 I know football is not coming around till the fall. But we've talked about 209 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.960 just how streaming it seemed like it was going to solve all these problems for 210 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.840 us, and it seemed like it was going to reduce the bill and then 211 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.600 it's just done the opposite overtime, and now a lot of us are like 212 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.159 pining for the days of a simple, you know, cable subscription. Will 213 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:33.240 The Guardian ran the numbers, and because every all these little streaming companies like 214 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.639 with Netflix and and now where there's Peacock and there's Prime Football on Thursday nights 215 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.519 because of because there's like a couple of football games here and there, and 216 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.799 if you're an extreme football addict and you have to watch it all, you're 217 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:48.639 going to pay more than sixteen hundred dollars over the course of the year to 218 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.360 sign up for every single one of those streamers so that you can watch all 219 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.519 the football you want. That's just so much money, and it's really I 220 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.799 think hopefully only the extreme football addicts that are going to partake. But it's 221 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:00.679 just it just is a sign of the times, and it shows just how 222 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.879 much it's going to cost you to keep up with your favorite teams and your 223 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.799 favorite sports these days. So do you really think football is not going to 224 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.120 be on CBS and Fox anymore? But not all of them? Right, 225 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.679 think about the Peacock game. A ton of people signed up to watch the 226 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.039 Dolphins and the Chiefs, and you know that was that was like a really 227 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.279 big event. I even signed up to watch that. But the number show 228 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.879 that seventy one percent of people kept that subscription after the fact. So we're 229 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.799 not great at canceling the subscriptions after we've watched the game we want to see. 230 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.039 So I think it's okay if like and again you're right, Yeah, 231 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.200 CBS is going to have a lot of the games. If you're not a 232 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:38.639 diehard addict, they don't have to see all the games and can watch this 233 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:42.720 stuff via the antenna. That's, you know, which is like an underutilized 234 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.120 thing these days. Put up in an antenna, you can catch a lot 235 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.480 of games over the air, But there are some games that you won't be 236 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.000 able to watch that in that way, right the Prime Thursday night games for 237 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.840 example, but Netflix games on Christmas, there's going to be a few games 238 00:16:55.879 --> 00:17:00.480 streaming, specifically on Peacocky. There are these These games have become frag minted 239 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.720 across a wide variety of streaming services and some yes are going to be available 240 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.519 just via your antenna. In fact, a lot of them, but not 241 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.799 all of them. That's right. The prime games are on Thursday nights, 242 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.160 then they're not on regular TV. Nope, nope. So yeah, it 243 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.319 depends. Like and maybe you're like, cool, maybe I'm just not going 244 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.000 to watch on Thursdays. I'll be an NFL on Sunday's kind of person, 245 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.000 which is great. I'm not hating on NFL. It's a fun sport. 246 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.079 But I also just think you have to be careful and think how much money 247 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:32.039 am I spending to watch all of the games, and just kind of make 248 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:34.640 sure you I always put calendar reminders when I sign up for a streaming service. 249 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:38.759 I'm like, okay, cool, I need to cancel by June eighteenth 250 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:41.480 or something like that. So I put it on June sixteenth on my calendar, 251 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.519 reminding me to cancel before I get hit with another bill. Yeah, 252 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.720 and speaking of that, because I've done that before, do it like you 253 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.599 did a couple of days before, not just the day before, because I 254 00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.039 think I did it and then they ended up charging me on the day that 255 00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.880 I thought I could renew or cancel it. So do it a couple of 256 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:04.240 days before at least. YEP, I mean, you can't put the genie 257 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.799 back in the bottle, and I think a lot of us wish we could, 258 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.240 because streaming is just it really is getting out of control. It's hard 259 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:12.400 to manage so many people. I mean when you look at the numbers. 260 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.160 We've talked about this before, but people are spending hundreds of dollars more a 261 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:19.200 month than they think when it comes to recurring streaming bills and recurring subscriptions. 262 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:26.240 It's kind of become the modern version of a plague. Okay, so mind 263 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.400 your stream less dangerous to your health, but your financial health, okay. 264 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.960 And speaking of money, people are investing a lot of money in getting a 265 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:38.720 college degree, and you're saying that it might not be worth it. So 266 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.960 this is something that's there takes a lot of nuance to really get to the 267 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:48.640 heart of this topic, but especially in today's economy and what's happening with the 268 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.359 value of higher education going it just I mean, it's pretty clear to most 269 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:55.880 people, as we've seen articles written in the New York Times, not just 270 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.720 six figures to go to school and get a degree, but six figures for 271 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.319 one year at some of these fancier schools like Vanderbilt. Insane. So think 272 00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.519 about that that's like, if there's no scholarships and no financial aid or whatever, 273 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:08.200 you're talking about four hundred grand at the end of the day. And 274 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.759 granted that's just a few schools, but the price of higher education when you 275 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:17.799 look at kind of like an inflation map over the past twenty years, it's 276 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:22.319 healthcare costs and it's higher education that have just essentially ballooned in price. And 277 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:27.720 so it deserves a double take to see whether or not education and higher education 278 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.279 still makes sense in the way that we've talked about it for so many years, 279 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.599 that it's this path to higher income and it's path to a better job 280 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.400 and a better life. And there is still some truth to that, but 281 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.599 you have to pick apart the details and you have to be wise in your 282 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.599 approach to getting that higher education or you might find yourself on in the much 283 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:51.880 larger group now that doesn't experience college as accountable to the next great thing. 284 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.440 So there were some new stats. Thirty percent of college grants are not going 285 00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:00.400 to earn enough to offset the price of their higher education. That's a big 286 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.960 chunck of people. It's almost a third of people who over their working lifetime. 287 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.839 Like we've heard the generic stat that people who graduate with a college degree 288 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.079 typically earn about a million dollars more over their life. But so much depends 289 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.680 on what you study, on how much debt you take on, like, 290 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:21.200 for instance, engineering, computer science, nursing degrees. Those degrees in particular 291 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:26.720 offer the best return on your investment, but then other majors come with a 292 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.799 little bit of a financial advantage, and the other majors that you get are 293 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.759 actually going to make you worse off over the long haul. And what are 294 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.960 some of those? Oh, I mean, I think there's some like literature 295 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.960 degrees that you could get, Like there's there's just a bunch of you have 296 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.640 to be like, Okay, what is it that's going to actually what kind 297 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.119 of job am I going to get with this degree? There? And it 298 00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:48.839 doesn't mean that like, hey, guess what amy I don't know do you 299 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.359 have? Like I don't have engineering skills. That doesn't if someone said you 300 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.799 should go to college to get an engineering degree because that's going to pay off, 301 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.000 well, not for me, because like it doesn't jive with my personality 302 00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.920 with the kind of skills that I have inherently, So you have to think 303 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.079 about that, and you just don't want to try to shoehorn yourself into doing 304 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.039 work that doesn't make sense for you. But you also want to at least 305 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:11.319 look at this list and think, well, okay, then does college make 306 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.839 sense for me or is there a better way? And I talked recently with 307 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.559 somebody about apprenticeships, and sadly we're not great at that in this country, 308 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.920 although we're better in California than in some other states. But this is another 309 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.440 approach I think people should consider taking. Is there like an apprentice route I 310 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.480 can take so I can avoid at least some of the worst parts of college, 311 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.519 which is the student loan debt and getting a degree that might or might 312 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.519 not pay off. And at minimum, even if you're looking at one of 313 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.720 those degrees that might not pay off as well, you've got to keep your 314 00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:41.799 debt to a minimum, like you have to. You have to really think 315 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:47.240 about the price tag if you're going to get a four year degree that doesn't 316 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:51.559 come with the same the same accolades and the same potential, the earning potential 317 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:52.720 at the end of the day as well. And the other thing too, 318 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.319 it's graduate degrees. Be really careful going back to school to get a graduate 319 00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.480 degree. I sound like fifty percent of those don't pay off. Is Codo 320 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.759 getting one? He already has his? Oh okay, yeah, yeah. 321 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.319 And the truth there's a lot of them don't pay off in the way you'd 322 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.359 hope, and especially when you talk about the time and the money that you 323 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.640 pour into it. And some people just assume education equals good equals more money, 324 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.000 and there can be truth to that, but there's also it's not an 325 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.880 unfailing equation. Sometimes you have to run the numbers ahead of time to make 326 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.559 sure that it's going to for you. And I've always said, I don't 327 00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:29.559 think everybody needs to go to college. I don't think everybody should go to 328 00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:33.319 college. It's just like home ownership. We've made it sound like it's the 329 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:34.519 end of all, be all, it's the bee's knees, and that everybody 330 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.960 in the United States of America needs to do these two things. And there's 331 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:41.079 a lot of truth for a lot of people, but it's also certainly not 332 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.160 true in so many cases. And you have to think about both things long 333 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.400 and hard before you pounce. Okay, Joel Larsgard such good money advice, 334 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.599 as always, and you can hear lots more of that when you listen to 335 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.039 how to Money with Joel lars Guard coming up this Sunday from noon to two. 336 00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:57.720 You can also follow Joel at how to Money Joel, Thank you, 337 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:02.000 Joel Larsgard. Thanks Amy, all right, take care. A family in 338 00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:04.640 Montabello is pleading for the safe return of its French bulldog. The dog, 339 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:08.440 named Jennifer, was stolen at gunpoint during a walk late Sunday night. The 340 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:14.720 dog's owners, Rolux, watch, cash and iPhone were also taken. The 341 00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:18.759 LAPD will hold a ceremony this morning to honor the two hundred thirty nine LAPD 342 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.359 officers who've died in the line of duty since the department was established in eighteen 343 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:27.279 sixty nine. The memorial service will be held at LAPD headquarters. It'll feature 344 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:32.359 police honors, a role call of the fallen, a riderless horse, and 345 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.440 the missing man, helicopter flyover. It all starts at nine at six Pozho 346 00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:38.920 five. It's handle on the news. A two mile stretch of beach in 347 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:44.240 San Clemente has been closed at least the water because of what may be an 348 00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:49.039 aggressive juvenile great white sharket not attack. Well, he kind of went after 349 00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:52.440 somebody, but nobody was hurt. At five point fifty. As I mentioned, 350 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.000 ABC's Jim Ryan is in Texas. We're going to be talking to him, 351 00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.480 but right now we're going to talk to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. So, 352 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:06.519 Stephen. Over the weekend, former President Trump showed up at the Libertarian convention 353 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:12.440 and which was kind of a surprise. Yeah, I mean, look, 354 00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:17.519 a bit of a long shot, a bit. What he did was he 355 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.119 took the stage at the Libertarian convention here in Washington, and he appealed to 356 00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:25.039 the delegates to the convention for their votes or their support. He really was 357 00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:26.400 asking for their nomination. He didn't get that. I'm not sure he's going 358 00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:32.240 to get many other votes either. But look, the Libertarian Party had its 359 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:37.000 convention here with about nine hundred delegates deciding who the nominee of the Libertarian Party 360 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:41.039 should be. They decided on a men named Chase Oliver who is from Georgia. 361 00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.279 He had run for Senate there in twenty twenty and got about two percent 362 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.759 of the vote. Never served in government before, but has been a long 363 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.440 time Libertarian Party activist. And so that's what those hundreds of people who attended 364 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.720 these conventions do. They give it to the guy they know, and Trump 365 00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.759 got booed, Why, well, libertarian, they're all about small government, 366 00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.720 they're all about individual rights and freedoms. And there is a liberal streak that 367 00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:10.480 now runs through today's libertarian party. And so they opposed the man who proudly 368 00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:14.279 appointed three justices to the Supreme Court who have made it harder for women to 369 00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:18.240 get abortions, for example. They opposed the man who saw an increase in 370 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:23.079 the national debt during his presidency. Libertarians believe in small government, tax cuts 371 00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:27.720 and lower government spending. Trump saw it the other way. So in the 372 00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:33.680 end, Trump got booed, and he sped through some of his remarks. 373 00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:36.359 At other points he seemed to be enjoying mixing it up with the crowd. 374 00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:40.599 But he did not receive the nomination. Yeah, and I think that the 375 00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:45.200 interesting thing that comes out of all of this. After being booed and heckled, 376 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.400 he said, well, if I wanted it, I could have gotten 377 00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:51.599 the nomination. Well, there are lots of things, Trump says, What 378 00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:53.240 can I say to that? Okay, Well, let's move on, because 379 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:59.240 that was this weekend and today we're back in New York and Trump's expected to 380 00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:03.519 head toward the court room anytime. Now, we've got closing arguments on tap, 381 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.599 so closing arguments at the end of five weeks of testimony. The jury 382 00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:12.640 had off all last week and today the summations. The defense goes first, 383 00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:17.720 then the prosecution. And the question is that Trump is raising is why the 384 00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:22.400 prosecution should go last, And the answer is that in the United States, 385 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:27.000 the prosecution has the burden of proof and therefore they have the privilege to present 386 00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:34.039 their arguments last to the jury. The jury already heard from twenty two witnesses, 387 00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:40.160 Trump not among them, but among them importantly David Pecker, the former 388 00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:42.720 owner of the National Inquirer, Stormy Daniels, the woman who was paid one 389 00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:48.359 hundred and thirty thousand dollars, Michael Cohen, the man who arranged the payments, 390 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:53.319 and said that it was all done to advance Trump's electoral prospects in twenty 391 00:26:53.440 --> 00:27:02.680 twenty sixteen. Rather, the prosecution theory is that what Trump did was hide 392 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:07.720 the true nature of the payments to avoid any kind of scrutiny that he was 393 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:11.720 trying to suppress the story about Stormy Daniels in the lead up to the twenty 394 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:18.079 sixteen campaign, because he, according to Michael Cohen, knew that it would 395 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.279 have been damaging for Trump. Now, the defense is that Trump did nothing 396 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:32.000 illegal here. You can't violate the law by paying a lawyer to affect a 397 00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:37.119 payment of a non disclosure agreement. And at the end of the day, 398 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.240 it was just simply how it was accounted for, and that the New York 399 00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:47.000 prosecutors have sort of amalgamated this case with a faulty legal theory. And those 400 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.599 are all probably things that the defense is going to argue to the jury. 401 00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:56.160 The jurors include among them two attorneys, and you have to wonder how this 402 00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.519 is all going to play out. I imagine that summations could be done by 403 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:04.240 today. This case could go to the jury for deliberations tomorrow. Going to 404 00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.559 be interesting. We'll be watching, Steven Portnoy. Thank you for the information. 405 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.599 You bet all right, Let's get back to some of the stories coming 406 00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:15.079 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

Holly Mitchell says 411 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:34.920 it's a win win for street vendors and traditional businesses. This will allow them 412 00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:41.240 to operate safely and minimize disruption to brick and mortar businesses and other community stakeholders. 413 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:44.279 The new program covers the entire county except for the cities of Long Beach, 414 00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:48.359 Pasadena and Vernon in downtown La. Michael Monks KFI News. The Papua 415 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:55.079 New Guinea government has asked for international assistants following the deadly landslide. Officials say 416 00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.599 more than two thousand people are thought to have been buried alive when the side 417 00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:03.119 of a mountain tumbled down. For Locals are still digging for survivors with spades, 418 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.759 sticks, anything they can find, even their bare hands. ABC's James 419 00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.880 Longman says the first heavy machinery arrived yesterday, but the recovery operation is dangerous 420 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.680 the rain still unstable. Rescuers can only move so fast. So far, 421 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:21.839 they've found the bodies of just five victims. The un hasn't changed its estimated 422 00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:23.839 death toll of six hundred and seventy, but says as time goes on, 423 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:30.559 the number will remain fluid. It says the body is ready to offer assistance. 424 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.200 Hawaiian Electric says the County of Maui is to blame for the deadly wildfire 425 00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:37.960 in Lahina, and in countersuit filed Friday, the utility says county officials failed 426 00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:41.799 to maintain proper brush clearance and bungled the fire response, causing the deaths of 427 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.519 one hundred and one people in damage totaling five billion. Soon after the fires 428 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:49.160 last August, the County of Maui filed a lawsuit against Hawaiian Electric, claiming 429 00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:53.680 its rotten power poles and neglected infrastructure caused the fires. Hundreds of lawsuits have 430 00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:57.119 been filed against the state's largest power supplier, and though no official cause of 431 00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:02.680 the fire has been revealed, some reports just down power lines ignited dry brush. 432 00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:07.880 Steve GREGORTAAFI News. Walmart has ended its partnership with Capital One, which 433 00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.400 has been the exclusive issuer of store credit cards since twenty nineteen. Last year, 434 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.720 Walmart sued Capital One, saying it was taking too long to process payments 435 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:21.200 and to mail replacement cards. A federal judge ruled in March that Walmart could 436 00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:26.279 terminate the deal. ABC's Daria Albinger says anyone with a Walmart rewards card can 437 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.440 continue to use it and earn rewards unless you get notified of a change. 438 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.480 Capital One reported last week there's about eight and a half billion dollars in loans 439 00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:40.480 in the existing Walmart credit portfolio.

We're just minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, 456 00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:56.519 this is kind of robocopy. China's military has rolled out rifle toting robot 457 00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:01.680 dogs. That's scary. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. 458 00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:07.319 Speaking of scary, you guys cannot catch a break with his weather. Yeah, 459 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:09.640 and not just here Amy, but all over the region from here. 460 00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:15.359 Although in New York State, twenty two people died over the Memorial Day weekend 461 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:20.599 in tornadoes that hit Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kentucky. And then 462 00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:24.400 of course you've got the heat and of course the things that come with those 463 00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:30.279 those thunderstorms, including lightning. It's thought that lightning killed or rancher in Colorado, 464 00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:35.000 along with thirty four of his cows and also thought to have sparked a 465 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:39.440 wildfire that's now burning into Mexico. So really it's a widespread issue this springtime, 466 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:45.920 Amy, Yeah, and can it's been going on for weeks now, 467 00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:51.480 it has, and in fact, this has been the most active springtime for 468 00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:55.160 severe weather in thirteen years, at least thirteen hundred and thirty six severe storm 469 00:32:55.200 --> 00:33:00.440 reports from Texas to New York Friday through Monday, and it's continuing at this 470 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:06.759 moment. More severe thunder storms moved down from the northwest right along the Texas 471 00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:10.920 Oklahoma line within the last couple of hours came here into the Dallas Fort Worth 472 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:15.960 area. We have six hundred and seventy seven thousand power outages at this moment. 473 00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:21.000 These storms are continuing to move to the southeast and bring a thread of 474 00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:24.519 new tornadoes down in East Texas. Okay, and you guys are kind of 475 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:28.920 getting a double whammy too because you've got these storms. But it's hot down 476 00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:31.279 there, isn't it. Yeah, it has been hot. It was pushing 477 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:37.240 one hundred degrees yesterday, a hot, very humid. The heat is part 478 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.880 of the issue here, but I mean everything else kind of is factoring into 479 00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:44.960 this too. The hailstones, the size of baseballs that came down over the 480 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.960 weekend. It's just been really tough a few days, really tough month. 481 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.759 Actually, where was that hail that's big ideo is Yeah, around the Denton 482 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:59.519 area, west or rather east of the area where the tornado came into Valley 483 00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:04.839 View on Saturday and killed so many people. So yeah, it's the hailstones. 484 00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:07.680 It's the In fact, this morning we had a straight line went of 485 00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:13.920 seventy seven miles per hour at DFW Airport. That's hurricane strength. Yeah. 486 00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:19.239 I think God's mad at the Midwest. In the South, so are the 487 00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:25.000 I'm just shocked at how many severe weather events are happening all at once. 488 00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:29.760 Normally, you get you get a tornado, it moves out, there's sunny 489 00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:31.440 skies, you do the cleanup, and off you go. But it's just 490 00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:36.199 like been day after day after day. Where are the storms headed to next? 491 00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.639 Yes, it's just relentless. I mean, just as they start picking 492 00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:43.920 up in Valley Ue where seven people died in the tornado on Saturday, here 493 00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.960 comes a new batch of storms. And right now the ones that came through 494 00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:52.599 Dallas for Worth have moved to the southeast. But there is another big line 495 00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:58.199 of storms coming down from Witchdolf Falls Taxes and down from the Oklahoma border and 496 00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:00.880 approaching Dallas for so, yeah, some of the same areas that got it 497 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:05.400 over the weekend are going to get it again within the next couple of hours. 498 00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:08.199 Looks like the stuff that came through on Saturday in Dallas Fort Worth now 499 00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:13.159 has moved east off the east coast. But you know there's still stuff around 500 00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:16.239 up in you know, the Minneapolis area and in the central part of Kansas 501 00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:20.719 Kay, And you mentioned Dallas Fort Worth. But it seems like when the 502 00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:25.920 tornadoes hit, they tend to hit in small towns or around them. Have 503 00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:31.280 any of the population center has been hit pretty heavily, well, not lately. 504 00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:35.559 We had one that touchdown in Dallas a few years ago, a tornado 505 00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:38.159 that dropped down to the northwest part of the city and tore up a lot 506 00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:40.679 of property. Nobody was killed in that one, but people were hurt. 507 00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:45.119 But you're right, it's just luck of the draw that it doesn't strike a 508 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:50.800 more populated area. And there was a tornado that hit Waco, Texas in 509 00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:54.079 about nineteen fifty seven and just destroyed the place. So yeah, you're lucky. 510 00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:57.760 I mean, it's just it's luck of the draw. We've got eight 511 00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:01.280 million people living in Dallas Fort Worth and luckily these storms, at least the 512 00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:07.840 ones that hit over the weekend stayed kind of the northwest. Okay, well, 513 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.920 we'll hope that they move out soon so you guys can enjoy the what's 514 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:15.400 left of the spring. It's been beautiful here. Yeah, you're lucky. 515 00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:17.840 Yeah, it's cann't count yourself like it could have been. You know, 516 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.599 wildfire's out there. We had that wildfire that was started and it's still burning 517 00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.519 into Mexico in the Lincoln National Forest. Probably sparked by a lightning strike. 518 00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:30.639 Yeah, that's the other thing that lightning does. That to the northwest a 519 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.360 lot, yep, lots and lots. But we'll hope for a calmer weather 520 00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:38.000 pattern heading your direction. Thanks Amy.

Employers want to introduce 535 00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:45.239 machines because people are too difficult. Democratic State Senator Lola Smallwood Quavis says that's 536 00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:50.320 led to a need for regulations for self checkout, which is responsible for sixteen 537 00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:54.599 times more theft than a cashier, About six ten billion dollars is lost, 538 00:37:54.920 --> 00:38:00.360 and it's becoming a place where workers have been threatened. Critics say those regulations 539 00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:06.400 are unnecessary because retailers have already started implementing similar changes. The bill passed the 540 00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:09.599 Senate last week and is now in the Assembly.
