If you're old enough, you 12 00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.920 remember Reaganomics. If you're not, we'll give you context. I thought I 13 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.079 had a dad joke there, but none of my dad joke has been working 14 00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:06.239 this week, so I'm just gonna stick to the news. Let's do a 15 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.000 few headlines, and then we'll get into what's coming out of the KFI newsroom. 16 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:12.719 The United States is analytic today another five hundred million dollar weapons package for 17 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:18.640 Ukraine.

Beaches and parks in the US have 34 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.039 been closed and flights have been delayed or canceled because of the smoke. Well 35 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.680 more on that too this hour. Residents in fourteen states have been told to 36 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.439 stay inside or where in ninety five masks if they have to go outside. 37 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.080 A brush fire in Riverside County has burned about fifty five acres and has spread 38 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.840 to homes and cars. CalFire ordered evacuations for people living near Santa Rosa Mine 39 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:52.840 Road in Paris yesterday. The fire is five percent surrounded. Plumes of thick 40 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:57.280 flack smoke can be seen for miles when the fire first started yesterday afternoon, 41 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.960 and estimated one point seven million people could start losing medical benefits this weekend during 42 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:07.199 a national purge and California we're projecting on the low end at thirteen percent disenrollment 43 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.400 rate.

Leo Romero says the annual income eligibility purge was paused during the 48 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.199 pandemic.

In La Corbin Carson k if I News, 50 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.840 at least fifty sea lions have died in La County in one week from a 51 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.080 severe toxic algal bloom. Marine Mammal Care Center CEO John Warner says the toxic 52 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.919 bloom that has killed hundreds of sea lions could last another several weeks. Blooms 53 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.840 are still in a high concentration off the southern California coast, coming more into 54 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.800 La County. The fears that it's going to get even worse for Orange County 55 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.520 San Diego County. Warner says his facility is at capacity treating more than sixty 56 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.280 six sea lions. A section of beach in Venice has been designated for six 57 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.120 sea lions to rest, and the La School District has expanded a marine care 58 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:15.800 center it owns to increase local treatment capacity. Some cities in SoCal are among 59 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:20.439 the recipients of federal grant dollars for transportation related projects. Transportation Secretary Pete boodh 60 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:25.800 Jedge says federal grant money was awarded to a high speed rail project in San 61 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.720 Bernardino, a pedestrian bridge in South La and a bus rail connector in Anaheim. 62 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.040 Summer in big cities, summer in rural communities, many are in tribal 63 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:39.800 lands. Every community has different needs. A total of two point one billion 64 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.319 dollars was awarded to more than one hundred and fifty projects in all fifty states. 65 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.800 Boodha Jedge said yesterday seventy percent of all the grant money went to low 66 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.759 income or underserved communities. And on the line, we have ABCS in z 67 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:56.800 delicatea to talk with us about the Vatican envoy who is in Moscow. Good 68 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:02.079 morning in z that's right, So we're talking about Cardinal Matteo Zupis, who 69 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:09.000 was someone who's had prior experience of participating in the church's peace initiatives. He 70 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:14.199 was involved in Mozambique, in Guatemala, he also helped negotiate as he's fired 71 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.160 in Burundi. So he is now in Moscow. He arrived on Tuesday. 72 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.920 Unclear what he will actually be doing. They haven't released any kind of detailed 73 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.439 schedule. We know that he so prior to going to Russia, he did 74 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:30.160 meet with the Ukrainian President Lensky in Keith. He didn't make a stop to 75 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.920 Ukraine prior to going to Russia. So there are questions as to whether he 76 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:39.360 might decide to or try to meet with political figures in Russia as well. 77 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.959 Whether he might decide to meet with the Russian President Putin. Unclear whether Putin 78 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.240 would agree to that, whether Putin would even have time. He's obviously got 79 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:51.120 a lot on his plate right now with the Wagner rebellion and the aftermath of 80 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.959 all of that. And there's speculation that Zuppie might meet with the head of 81 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:01.560 the Russian Orthodox Church. They are are obviously very powerful, They're very close 82 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:06.000 to the Kremlin. They actually have voiced support for the war in Ukraine. 83 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.399 Um and and but but there's a there's there's a speculation that Zupie might try 84 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.360 to start there. Has Cardinal Zuppie been to Moscow before on missions like this 85 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:20.560 before? What's his diplomatic pedigree? Yeah, so his asking whether he's actually 86 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.720 been to Russia before, I'm not quite clear on, but I do know 87 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:30.000 he is a veteran of the Catholic Church's kind of peace missions and initiatives. 88 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:36.720 So again, he participated in Muslim initiatives Guatemala, He did help broker a 89 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.720 cease fire in Burundi, and this is just the latest effort. Yeah, 90 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.720 this is someone who was tapped specifically by Pope Francis. We should just want 91 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.199 to Zupie has been so he has voice support for the Ukrainian people. Uh. 92 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.399 He has also called for peace in Ukraine, but he has stopped short 93 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:58.399 of actually calling out the Russian president or just calling out Russia by name. 94 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:03.600 And that's the same criticism that Pope Francis has actually faced. There are those 95 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.800 who feel that Pope Princess should be doing more to call out Putin and call 96 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.439 out Russia by name for starting a war in Ukraine. But the Vatican has 97 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.360 traditionally taken kind of a different approach. They typically do not take sides in 98 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:23.160 conflicts, and they prefer to engage in diplomacy, kind of quiet diplomacy behind 99 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.240 the scene. So I think if anything concrete comes out of this mission, 100 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.240 you know, it'll be happening behind the scenes. Who probably won't hear about 101 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.600 it right away. We should point out this as just the latest kind of 102 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.040 effort to try and negotiate peace here. We saw the Chinese recently trying to 103 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.920 do the same thing with China sending an envoye both to Ukraine and Russia, 104 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.519 and not much came out of that. So I think low expectations for this 105 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.000 mission, but still a big deal that the Vatican is sending someone. And 106 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.680 as we don't have the clearest line, but I think I could get one 107 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.199 more question in and you've covered a lot of context there, so thank you 108 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.519 for that. I want to circle back real quick on the Russian Orthodox Church 109 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.600 angle. If they are in support of the war in Ukraine or against Ukraine. 110 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.160 Is that part of the soft diplomacy you're talking about, or is it 111 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.720 typical for these for envoys to meet with leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church on 112 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.519 trips like this. Well, yeah, I think it's it's a little bit 113 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:20.759 of both. I will say the Russian Orthodox Church has been a huge point 114 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.000 of debate in Ukraine. So when I was in Ukraine back in November, 115 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:31.639 there were all these stories of Ukrainian official security officials raiding Russian Orthodox monasteries and 116 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.799 churches, and Ukrainian officials accusing members of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine and 117 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.799 essentially spying for Russia, of spying on everyday Ukrainian citizens and then reporting back 118 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.480 sending that information back to the Church in Moscow. Again, because the Russian 119 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:52.039 Orthodox Church is so closely aligned with the Kremlin, and we've seen Ukrainians kind 120 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.679 of breaking away from the Church in you know, just another active defiance. 121 00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:01.600 They're standing up to Russia and really create it, mean it was already created, 122 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:07.600 but really kind of investing and turning more towards the Ukrainian Church. Thank 123 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.600 you so much for the context this morning, and I hope we can speak 124 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:16.600 again soon. Thank you. Let's ABC News correspondent and as Delicatera, she's 125 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.840 in Paris. We had a kind of a cloudy line there, but it's 126 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.720 an important visit for sure. Let's get back to some of these stories coming 127 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.279 out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. Community relations manager Emelda Padilla 128 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.240 will join the La City Council in August.

Alca Roz says she's ready to be the community's champion in La. 133 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.440 People living in Orange say they have been without hot water for almost a 134 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.879 month because of gas leak repairs. Over two hundred residents at the LaVita Monterey 135 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.159 Condominiums have had to find alternatives to cooking and bathe while the gas has been 136 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.960 shut off. This renter says there's no communication or sense of urgency from management. 137 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.639 They have three or four guys to walk here for eight hours. I 138 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.399 don't think they don't have enough time to do what they said one month. 139 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.000 It's going to take about six months to finish it. The homeowners Association said 140 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.559 yesterday. Gas has been off since June second, and there's no solid date 141 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.919 on when people will have the gas turned back on.

Rabb by doctor Danny Schiff with the Jewish Federation 157 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.039 of Greater Pittsburgh says the Jewish faith does not rule out using the death penalty. 158 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:43.159 The death penalty should be a possibility for those particular moments when society is 159 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:48.240 confronted with an example of ultimate evil. He says that it should only be 160 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:54.399 used when the strictest of guidelines and not with any frequency.

We're gonna talk to tech Good morning, Rich. 172 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.519 Do we have Rich? Sorry? Rich? We do we have you? 173 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.279 Now? I'm right here. Hello, Hello. I don't know if 174 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.000 you could hear me, but I just introduced you as the as the tech 175 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.279 man. So oh, I like that. Let's let's dive into because let's 176 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.960 do a little bit of hardhere first, in some software, if we could 177 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:07.440 please your review of Amazon's new Firemax eleven tablet. Amazon does not have a 178 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.600 great track record with hardware. How does Firemax eleven come in. Well, 179 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:13.879 it's their best tablet yet, let's put it that way. This is a 180 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.120 nice they've got, like the best design they've had, premium aluminum on this 181 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.519 thing, eleven inch screen, it's got a keyboard in Stylus available, and 182 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.639 the price is pretty good. Two hundred and thirty dollars for the base tablet, 183 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.440 which is very expensive compared to previous Amazon tablets, but you're getting a 184 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.879 much better design. It's also their fastest tablet. They've got a fingerprint reader 185 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.600 on this thing for the first time, sixty four gigabytes of storage plus a 186 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.320 memory card slot, which is rare these days. The cameras look good. 187 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.480 But Jason, the problem is the software. Oh now, okay, I 188 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.600 like I said, the hardware, okay, sounds like the hardware they've got 189 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.240 right this time. What is missing with the software this time? Well, 190 00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:01.000 you know, their fire Os tablet system is just really bad. It pushes 191 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.360 all Amazon products, which is fine if you only want to use this as 192 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:09.720 a kindle, as a prime video viewing device, as an audible listening device, 193 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.960 it's fine. Web surfing it's okay. But there are no Google apps 194 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.960 preinstalled on this tablet, which is otherwise really good. So if they had 195 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.960 Gmail, if it had YouTube, if it had Chrome, if it had 196 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.720 Maps, I would give this thing high praises. Now some people might argue 197 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.759 Rich, you can just sideload and install Google Play on your own. Well, 198 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.679 the tech novice is not going to know how to do that very easily, 199 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.879 and so I can't say that this is great just because that's an availability. 200 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.519 And yes, if you're a tech nerd, you might be able to 201 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.440 do that, but on it's the way it's packaged is just not very good 202 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:48.159 and it's very expensive when you think about what you're getting for that price. 203 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.679 So wait for this thing to go on sale if you want it. If 204 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.639 you're just using it to watch movies on a plane, it's fine. Will 205 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.200 it show up on Prime Day? Think that's what I'm wondering now. Historically 206 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.720 the new product that Amazon comes out with, they don't discount very much. 207 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.960 But I bet you they already know what the pre orders are on this device, 208 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.759 so if they're seeing pre orders down, they'll probably discount it a little 209 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.240 bit. But yes, Prime Days right around the corner. Definitely wait for 210 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.720 that to see if this price is any less than two thirty. Yeah, 211 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.200 you're right, they can move quick to market when it comes to reduced for 212 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:22.000 quick sale kind of a bin. Yeah. Insta three sixty taking on GoPro. 213 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.360 You and I've covered GoPro for a while. What's the take here with 214 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.279 Insta three sixty. Yeah, you know GoPros. I mean, let's be 215 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.240 honest, they serve a purpose, They've gotten kind of stale over the years. 216 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.120 It's an action cam, right, so all these other companies are trying 217 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.799 to figure out, well, how do we make action cams more interesting? 218 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:41.600 And I think this insta three sixty go three, which I haven't personally tested, 219 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.639 but some of the early reviews are out. It looks really cool. 220 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:50.720 So it's kind of like a tiny GoPro style action camera, but it has 221 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.000 a magnet on it, so you can actually just like magnetize this thing to 222 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.600 like your shirt and wear it like that. Plus there's a whole bunch of 223 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.799 accessories. But the cool thing is it has this little tiny how that it 224 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.159 pops into. So the camera pops into this housing that has a big screen 225 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:07.919 that is either wireless, so you can kind of put the camera somewhere and 226 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.679 see what the camera sees on this wireless screen, or you can pop this 227 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.759 little camera into the wireless screen and then you can flip the screen up and 228 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.360 you can see kind of a big, wide display of what you're camera seeing. 229 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.279 So really, bottom line, very helpful for helping you get a lot 230 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.799 of different shots with this camera, which if you're using an action cam, 231 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.200 you know you're getting low on the ground, you're getting high you're putting it 232 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.240 on a car hood whatever under four hundred dollars for this thing. Of course 233 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.960 that doesn't include accessories. Okay, all right, well you've anticipated my follow 234 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:41.279 up, which was use case, and you nailed that one. You also 235 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.279 held fire on an Amazon Prime follow up and it says, or I've read 236 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.000 and I need you to explain for us, please Prime Days back. Of 237 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:53.200 course I saw it yesterday in a trailer for a matinee movie. Actually, 238 00:16:53.279 --> 00:17:00.440 well, wow, yeah movie. What was I seeing yesterday? Nor feelings? 239 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.120 I was seeing no hard feelings? Oh nice? Oh you know. 240 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:04.519 Funny story about that movie. My wife texts me, She's like, hey, 241 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.519 do you mind if I go see this? I'm like, really, 242 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.680 come on, Jennifer Lawrence is in this movie. I'm you're not seeing it 243 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.079 by yourself? Like I am going with you anyway. It was a romp, 244 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.319 as they say, yeah, Prime Day. Some of these deals, 245 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.279 though, are going to be invitation only, right, And I didn't understand 246 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.319 that. What's that take? Yeah? So some of these big deals, 247 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.400 they've got like a TV for one hundred dollars. They've got a watch, 248 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:33.359 they've got headphones, noise canceling headphones, and a couple other little things that 249 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.880 they think are going to really be popular. Of course that TV. So 250 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.519 this time around, they are having you go on the website and you have 251 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:44.799 to reserve or ask for an invitation, and so once you put in your 252 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.160 information for an invitation, they may send you an email with another invitation with 253 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:53.240 a link to buy the actual device. So it sounds very confusing. That's 254 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.680 because it is. We don't know if that everyone that gets the invitation to 255 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.440 buy will actually be able to buy it, or if just a upset of 256 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.759 people will get the invitation. It's very very confusing. But the reality is, 257 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.480 if you want some of these big, you know, doorbuster products, 258 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.880 they're trying something different this year. So go on Amazon, Amazon dot com 259 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:17.119 slash Prime Day and look at some of these invite only deals and if you 260 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.359 want any, if you're interested, you can click you know, request and 261 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:23.640 invite and you may get an invitation to buy a product, which is very 262 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.599 odd. Yeah, that is it's is that a new wrinkle? I mean, 263 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:32.359 because I don't remember anyway. Okay, yeah, okay, I've never 264 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.519 done this before. Okay, the last one I wanted to ask you about 265 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:38.039 intrigue me and I saved it for last because it's to me, like what 266 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.519 tech should do, and that's an emotional connection with a physical experience. And 267 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.319 the app is called voice Map. Can you unpack that one for us? 268 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.279 Oh, Jason, this is such a cool app to have. We discovered 269 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.240 it my wife and I were in Austin, Texas, and we were kind 270 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.799 of trying to figure out something to do for the day and she's like, 271 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.200 oh, my friend went to New Orleans and just did this weird, like, 272 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.920 you know, a GPS audio tour from her phone. I was like, 273 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.960 what, that's not weird, that's awesome. Yeah, So we downloaded 274 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.119 this app called voice Map, and we searched Austin. Sure enough, they 275 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.160 had one. It was a couple of bucks. I think it was like 276 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:15.720 six or seven dollars for the GPS tour and it basically you start at a 277 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:21.240 location and you just follow a map and your phone triggers the audio kind of 278 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:25.039 snippets when you get to the GPS area of the next stop on the map, 279 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.839 and so it's just like basically following a tour, but the tour guide 280 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:33.240 is in your ear and it's recorded, and it's it's really cool. We 281 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.839 had we spent a couple of hours. We never got bored and it was 282 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:38.680 so much fun. And by the way, on my website rich on tech 283 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:42.519 dot tv, I've got like a share code and you can actually get your 284 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:47.079 first one for free, so definitely take advantage of that. And definitely I 285 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.920 was going to go do a downtown tour this weekend for the Art Deco buildings 286 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.640 in LA and we had to push it because of a prior engagement that wasn't 287 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:56.960 on the calendar. But I'm going to use this when I go out by 288 00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.559 myself. It's called voice Map. By the way, it's a cool new 289 00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:00.960 app which likes it. I think that I'm gonna love it, Honestly, 290 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.519 I do think it's like the epitome of what tech should do. Right. 291 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.400 It's like, oh absolutely, And there's a whole bunch for Los Angeles, 292 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.200 So if you want to start right here at home, but just remember when 293 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.400 you're in a different city and you're looking for something to do, this is 294 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.519 such a great thing, Like don't forget about it because it's such a great 295 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.480 way to connect with the city. And also you just feel smart, like 296 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.559 you learn stuff and you're like, oh, like you may not remember everything, 297 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.640 but you'll feel like you really connected with that place. Rich. You 298 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.720 mentioned Rich on tech dot TV. What are some of the other places people 299 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:32.920 can find you find me on social media? I am at rich on tech 300 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.400 on Instagram. And if you haven't checked out my video that's going viral right 301 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:41.720 now of the foldable TV. Jason. Yeah, this thing is. It's 302 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:44.720 just incredible. It keeps just getting more and more views. I think it's 303 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.680 up to like almost a million views. And it's something that I shot. 304 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:51.960 This is the weird thing about going viral. I shot that like three weeks 305 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:56.599 ago and people just started noticing it like three days ago. Well, good 306 00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.039 on that. We'll check it out.

Thanks a lot for your time. It's morning, Rich. 309 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.559 Always a pleasure, and hopefully we talk again soon, maybe this weekend. 310 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:08.799 Thanks, Jason. Was a movie? Good do I see it? 311 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.720 Look? I was gonna lie and say I saw an Asteroid City again and 312 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.079 I saw it was good. I'd see it. Okay, Sure it's not 313 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:17.759 eighties raunchy. If you're worried about that, it's not. It's not eighties 314 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:19.880 raunchy, like bachelor party kind of stuff. But it's it's pretty funny, 315 00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.319 it's pretty I'm not taking my kids. I'm not worried. Okay, all 316 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.720 right, thanks rich all right, all right. A fire in San Bernardino 317 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.119 County has burned about ninety acres and is ten percent surrounded. The fire in 318 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:34.759 mentone, near Yucaipa, is near the San Bernardino National Forest. Cal Fire 319 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:38.519 says there's a full ground in air response to put the fire out, and 320 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:44.000 the La City Council was approved of motion to streamline Mayor Basses Directive for developing 321 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:48.240 Affordable and Supportive Housing. The motion, unanimously voted on yesterday, permanently exampts 322 00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:53.279 one percent of affordable housing proposals from the city's long review process. Officials say 323 00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:57.319 since Bass signed the directive, it has cut approval time for housing projects from 324 00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:03.160 an average of six months two thirty seven days. California is a step closer 325 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.720 to sealing the new budget deal. Governor Newsom signed a placeholder bill yesterday after 326 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:11.680 reaching an agreement with lawmakers Monday night. Voting will continue today on bills related 327 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:17.799 to the state's second largest spending plan ever, three hundred and ten billion dollars. 328 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.759 The push to boost juror pay in California is also moving forward to build 329 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.480 and expand. A pilot program is now making its way through the Senate. 330 00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:29.200 San Francisco started it last spring, paying one hundred dollars a day. That's 331 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:34.359 up from the fifteen dollars per diem. A record five million Californians are heading 332 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:37.279 out of town for the Fourth of July. That is, if they can 333 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.400 catch a flight that isn't delayed. That's a five percent jump from last year. 334 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.400 While most are going to hit the road, the number of people flying 335 00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:48.799 is expected to be the highest in twenty years. Coming up at towards the 336 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:52.200 top of the hour, the GOP nominees are gathering at the gate as they 337 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:57.480 say the presidential nomination full field sixth like it's like the sixth race at Santa 338 00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:00.640 and need it. We're gonna unpack the state of affairs for the Republican race 339 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.720 with Jeffrey Skilly. He's an elections analyst at five thirty eight dot com. 340 00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.119 Right now on wake Up Call, we have ABC News correspondent Faith of Boo 341 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:12.680 bay Is with his talk economics slash Politics slash Policy. Welcome in Faith, 342 00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.519 Thank you for joining us, so happy to join you, and thanks for 343 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.400 having me. Yeah, so the White House is branding this as bidonomics. 344 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.720 Let's just start there. Is this a rollout of policy or is this an 345 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.559 assessment of policy? Well, so the interesting thing is, you know, 346 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.839 this is going to be a three week branding session. Really we don't expect 347 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:34.759 any new major policy announcement, but the President will make the point that his 348 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:38.440 plans are working, his policies are working, and it's full steam ahead. 349 00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:44.039 As some of the major infrastructure projects that he's gotten behind or underway across the 350 00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.039 country. Well, the president has a big hurdle to overcome here. This 351 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:55.960 administration has a disconnect between the accomplishments they're highlighting versus how people actually feel everyday. 352 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:59.319 Americans feel that, you know, inflation is too high, their rent 353 00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.559 is too high, prices are too high, the cost of living is too 354 00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:07.000 high. But the President and the White House or touting how unemployment is really 355 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.839 low, the millions of jobs they've created since they've been in office. The 356 00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.319 major legislation that the President has been able to push Congress to pass, the 357 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.440 bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act, Chips and Science Act, and 358 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:26.039 so they're going to basically use this Bidonomics as a messaging platform where they're going 359 00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.640 to talk about the economy and how they plan to invest in America through these 360 00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:34.039 accomplishments that he's already had legislatively. And so we'll see whether any of that 361 00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.480 helps him moving forward. I know, we have to let you go in 362 00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.440 thirty seconds. Bidonomics sounds a lot like Reagonomics. Do you think that was 363 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.000 on purpose? Well, they're saying that it's the opposite. Bidonomics is the 364 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.119 opposite of Reaganomics. They are saying, you know, while Reagonomics was deep 365 00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:53.480 on a trickle down, the trickle down effect, they want this to be 366 00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:56.519 middle out, bottom up. We've heard the President talk about this over and 367 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:02.920 over again. They're calling this investing in a America. And so their philosophy 368 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:04.799 is to grow the economy focusing on the middle class. They say, or 369 00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:08.759 economics was the opposite of focused on the wealthy. And so we'll see how 370 00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:12.759 if that actually helps them in terms of support from the American people. Faith, 371 00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:15.359 thank you very much for your time and for giving us some context. 372 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.720 Thank you. ABC News correspondent Faith Abooba joins us right there, let's get 373 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:22.519 back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 374 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:27.839 NASA's JPL says it hopes to make your PDF more secure. Data scientist 375 00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:32.720 Tim Allison says he's part of a team that compiled more than eight million PDF 376 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:37.240 files to help researchers and others try to find malicious code or other weaknesses embedded 377 00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:41.799 in those pdf gool has had a number of vulnerabilities or identified a number of 378 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:47.559 vulnerabilities and font file parsers and others that lead to major problems with malware. 379 00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:49.440 Now for those of us not up to speed with all the computer techie stuff, 380 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.519 Allison says, the idea is to research as many files as possible to 381 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.359 root out anything that could be used later to hack into computer systems, a 382 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.160 sort of way to create a vaccine against certain type of cyberattacks. Sources the 383 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.640 JPL gathered and the batch up data that we published will help the people building 384 00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:11.200 the software tools that read your files make better decisions and make them less vulnerable. 385 00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:15.400 To Steve Gregory camf Ie News, a state lawmaker from Newport Beach, 386 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:21.119 has called for an audit of state oversight licensing and treatment being provided at sober 387 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:26.160 living homes. Assemblywoman Diane Dixon says bad actors are taking advantage of people seeking 388 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.680 help. The state is really not, in my opinion, adequately monitoring and 389 00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.559 regulating the usage of these homes. Let's find out how we can make them 390 00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:38.119 more effective and get people well, that's the bottom line. Dixon says. 391 00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:42.559 Groups are often buying homes in residential neighborhoods, advertising care they don't provide, 392 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:48.079 and accepting patients all before getting a license. Plus, she says cities don't 393 00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.920 have the power to enforce state regulations. The most famous canal in the world 394 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.359 is drying up. The Panama Canal Authority says record droughts have lowered the water 395 00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:00.960 level, forcing them to reduce the number of ships passing between the Atlantic and 396 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.839 Pacific Oceans. Officials say droughts like the current one used to happen once every 397 00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.519 five years, but now it's every three years. Restrictions were supposed to begin 398 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.279 last Sunday that would reduce the cargo a ship can carry by forty percent, 399 00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.920 but instead they reduced the number of ships passing through the canal each day from 400 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.720 about thirty five to about thirty one. The forty percent cargo reduction is still 401 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.240 supposed to eventually happen, and some ships are already doing it, but all 402 00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.519 of this means shipping costs will be going up. Michael Krozer KFI News, 403 00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:32.240 an LA County fire captain has been awarded four hundred and fifty thousand dollars for 404 00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:37.039 facing retaliation after he called out a supervisor for illegal discrimination. Captain Michael Cash 405 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.119 was removed from his position after he accused his supervisor of giving a pass to 406 00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.960 a female recruit who failed the academy over three males who also failed but were 407 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:51.319 not given a pass. Cash's attorney said yesterday that Cash will likely be awarded 408 00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:55.240 additional fees and costs that could bring the total to more than one million dollars. 409 00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:59.559 A woman who threw an explosive cocktail into a Bank of America branch in 410 00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.680 Torrents has been sentenced to prison. The woman pleaded guilty in March to possession 411 00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.240 of a firearm and destructive device. Torrens native Nancy Gray says even though the 412 00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.839 woman tried to burn down the bank, stuff like this usually doesn't happen in 413 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.920 the South Bay. Some crazy behavior to go off on to somebody that crazy 414 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:21.480 regarding a little argument that they've had. The Department of Justice says in twenty 415 00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.480 twenty one, the woman threatened to blow up the bank because she was told 416 00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:27.720 to wait in line. She was sentenced to two years in federal prison yesterday. 417 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:33.759 Chris Adler KFI News. Defense attorneys for the man accused of killing four 418 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.440 University of Idaho students day they want the state to hand over materials from the 419 00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:42.200 indictment. Brian Coburger's defense argued in court yesterday for access to cell phone data, 420 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:48.000 analysts, claims about his car and the training schedules for police officers involved 421 00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:51.319 in the investigation. They see it could be important in their case. After 422 00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:55.799 prosecutors announced they will seek the death penalty against Coburger, and the judges expected 423 00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:59.240 to rule on that later today. We talked a little bit just a minute 424 00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:03.279 ago with Faith Faith a Boo Bay about bonomics. Some more business news and 425 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.359 economic news. The Federal Reserve is set to release the results of its annual 426 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.920 bank stress tests later today. That follows the recent banking crisis triggered by Silicon 427 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:17.440 Valley Bank. Despite the regional bank failures, experts anticipate the twenty three lenders 428 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:22.359 being tested will show capital in excess of regulatory minimums. That's securing their buybacks 429 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:26.920 and dividends as well. Also, trade wars work both ways, and to 430 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.319 fight over high tech computer chips between China and the US continues apace. The 431 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:36.640 US is weighing new curbs on AI chip exports to China, marking the latest 432 00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:41.119 fight in the battle over silicon. Leasing of cloud services to Chinese AI companies 433 00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:45.160 may also be restricted, as well as other restraints on US investment in China. 434 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.599 Now, this news is pushing chip stocks down on Wall Street, and 435 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:53.119 we're looking at a lower open this morning as well. Severe weather is disrupting 436 00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:56.400 air travel ahead of the fourth of July, coming on the heels of yesterday's 437 00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.519 issues. More than sixteen hundred flights have all already been delayed or canceled so 438 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.039 far today. I'm sure we'll have more on this for the rest of this 439 00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:08.599 morning. Former President Trump claims he did nothing wrong discussing what prosecutors say were 440 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:12.920 classified documents with his staff and others after he left office. This may come 441 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:17.880 up in just a moment as well. And Airbnb is giving guests the chance 442 00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:22.319 to stay in a real life Malibu Barbie dreamhouse. I heard that the studio 443 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:27.079 bought all of the pink paint available for the Barbie movie. The company announced 444 00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:32.599 it will be giving away two one night's stays inside the Dreamhouse next month to 445 00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.680 celebrate the release of the movie, which personally I'm still kind of excited about. 446 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:38.200 I think it's going to be a commentary on feminism in the modern age. 447 00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:41.920 But we shall see fifty on your wake up call. And we have 448 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:45.119 Jeffrey Skelly on the line. He's at five thirty eight dot com. He's 449 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:49.799 a senior elections analyst and he unpacks polling data as his main hustle. Welcome 450 00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:56.400 in, Hey, thank you for having me. Absolutely Okay, So I 451 00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.839 want to I really want to jump to the imaginary debates stage that I have 452 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:03.480 in my head for the GOP candidates. But let's start with the most recent 453 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:06.119 one to join the race, and that's Will Heard. What is the HAPs 454 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:11.279 there? Yeah, so, so former Congressman Heard is from Texas. He 455 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.839 represented a border district or you know along the US Mexico border. Um, 456 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:22.039 he's a former CIA agent or a former formerly worked for the CIA on me, 457 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:27.519 just be clear, and is African American, and I think he's trying. 458 00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:33.039 He has a lot of you know, narrative selling points as a candidate, 459 00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:37.839 but he is positioned in himself certainly as a critic of former President Trump, 460 00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:42.279 and so he's joined sort of a group of either sort of outright Trump 461 00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:48.480 critics or sort of Trump skeptics that now there's about about five candidates who i'd 462 00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.279 say roughly fall into that group, including former Vice President Pennce maybe as a 463 00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:57.400 Trump skeptic type. And you know, they're just they're fighting over arguably a 464 00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:01.319 minority as a Republican prime electorate, and it's sort of tough to see a 465 00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:05.920 path for them, but they are here. They are running, and I 466 00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:07.359 think for her, and it would be really great for him if he could 467 00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:13.559 get on at bait stage and and get just some more notoriety, because that's 468 00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:15.960 a big problem for him. As you know, very few people know who 469 00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.440 he is sure so far. Absolutely, But let me reintroduce you real quick. 470 00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.240 We're speaking with Jeffrey Skelvey. He's senior elections analyst at five thirty eight 471 00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.559 dot com. Great turner phrase, you just use, Trump skeptic. How 472 00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:29.880 is that playing out for candidates? Are they Well, let's let's face it, 473 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.319 Former president Trump is in the news a lot. Is it good polling 474 00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:37.599 wise to mention him and be a skeptic? Well, I mean, you 475 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:43.039 certainly will get coverage by being critical of Trump, because look, the Republican 476 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:50.279 Party following Trump's presidency is certainly a party that would be described as pro Trump, 477 00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:53.960 whether that means the individual or sort of the policies or the the the 478 00:32:54.160 --> 00:33:00.880 approach, the sort of conservative populist approach, you know, however you wanted 479 00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:05.920 to define that, I think it's clearly more pro Trump than not. So. 480 00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:07.799 So when you have people who are openly critical of Trump, or at 481 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:13.279 least critical of him to some extent um, that does get attention. I 482 00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:16.680 think the problem for these candidates, though, is that Republican primary voters pretty 483 00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:21.839 clearly want someone who is at least someone like Trump. I mean, there's 484 00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:24.640 a reason rod to Santis is in second in the low twenties in our national 485 00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:29.359 primary poll, and Trump's just slightly above fifties, so they roughly are getting 486 00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:34.039 three fourths the vote, and you have polls that show, um, you 487 00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.720 know, there was a CBS News You Go poll recently that I thought kind 488 00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:39.519 of spelled it out nicely, which was if Trump can't be, can't be 489 00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:45.599 the Republican nominee asking of Republican primary voters, what would you like someone like, 490 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:49.400 someone similar to Trump or someone not similar to Trump? And three fourths 491 00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.799 said similar. So I think that sort of spells it out and why it's 492 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:55.640 going to be really difficult for this group making a case for some a different 493 00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.519 sort of Republican party to really break through. Okay, that's a fair point. 494 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:04.359 So if it's in politics, it seems like see the ball hit the 495 00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:07.640 ball, and the ball coming is the primary voter, and there's a lot 496 00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:10.440 of candidates that are trying to take a slice, as as the prep says, 497 00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:14.639 take a slice out of the pie when it comes to taking some of 498 00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:20.559 Trump's advantage. Um, you mentioned a few there, but I mean DeSantis 499 00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:23.039 comes up obviously, but Tim Scott comes up a little bit too. Um. 500 00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:28.360 So how are they positioning themselves or is it too early really to tell? 501 00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:34.320 Well, I do think that that Senator Tim Scott is very interesting because 502 00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:37.360 he has high favorables, at least among the people who know him. At 503 00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:40.719 this point, he's still not that well known, and there is some early 504 00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:45.840 evidence that you know his position and say, polls in Iowa has been improving 505 00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.440 because people are beginning to get to know him. He's been spending his campaign, 506 00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:53.880 the surrogates have been spending a lot of time and money on Iowa. 507 00:34:54.760 --> 00:35:00.320 So to me, Scott is someone who has largely avoided being critical of Trump, 508 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:06.639 but is maybe trying to project a sort of a more happy warrior version 509 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:13.400 of Republican politics, as in the sort of the Trump age. I could 510 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:17.760 see his potential as a candidate, and so the numbers sort of back up 511 00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:24.199 that maybe he has that that opportunity I see. Okay, So last question 512 00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:29.039 I guess would be this imaginary debate stage, are we expecting more candidates to 513 00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:30.760 jump into the race or is it kind of a hurry up and wait situation 514 00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:37.199 when it comes to the former president Trump headlines and indictments At this point, 515 00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:42.559 there aren't a lot of other names. I mean, I think one of 516 00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.360 the names that's been that's been floating out there is Virginia Governor Glenn Young Can. 517 00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:51.400 I remain skeptical that he will actually run, but it does seem like 518 00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:57.119 his either him or people around him, if at least kept the door ajar 519 00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:02.360 for a late entry this year. Um if if the opportunity arose. And 520 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:06.639 you know, I will say this. You look at Chris Christie, who 521 00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:10.000 is you know, running again here And there's an argument that Chris Christie, 522 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.760 who was first elected as New Jersey governor two thousand and nine, shouldn't have 523 00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:19.880 just taken his shot in the twenty twelve Republican presidential primary. Of course, 524 00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.440 no one knows the future, no one knows how things are going to pan 525 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:27.760 out. But sometimes you're just you know, you're you're you're politically hot. 526 00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:30.800 People want to talk about you, they want you to be somebody. And 527 00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:36.840 if the primary field is such that, uh, there are there are some 528 00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:40.039 some donors and leaders and others who are looking around saying we need someone else. 529 00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:44.360 You know, you can strike while the iron is hot. And you 530 00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.360 know, arguably Christie didn't do that before the twenty twelve primary, and then 531 00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:51.599 when he ran in twenty sixteen, it was sort of passed at that point. 532 00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:52.760 Yeah, no doubt. I mean, it does seems like a snoo 533 00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:55.280 as you lose situation with Chris Christie, although he does get a lot of 534 00:36:55.280 --> 00:37:00.960 coverage because he is so vocal about coming out against Trump, at least when 535 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:05.119 he's on some of the television news networks as well.
