He's gonna tell us about a Marrow Lago worker who has 62 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:16.160 flipped his testimony about what happened in the classified documents case against former President Trump. 63 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.920 Hey, good morning. So we're talking about Yusel Tavares, the iam 64 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:27.240 man at Marrow Lago who was the first known instance of a witness who testified 65 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:31.319 one way and then, under pressure from prosecutors, changed their story to avoid 66 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:38.040 prosecution and has agreed to testify against the former president. This is what led 67 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:44.600 to the superseding indictment issued against the former president in late July. Yusel Tavares, 68 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.639 according to our sources in March, gave testimony to the grand jury that 69 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:53.439 wasn't really the full true story, and when presented with that and a target 70 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:58.519 letter by prosecutors, he flipped. He's not the first person to tell things 71 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.399 to the grand jury that would be helpful to the prosecutors, but he is 72 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:06.360 the first known witness to change his story and to align himself with prosecutors under 73 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:13.199 threat that he too would face charges Steven. So, here's my question. 74 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:19.120 When there's pressure from prosecutors, is that testimony then still credible or could they 75 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.639 later come back and say, Hey, I was being pressured, I was 76 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:26.120 threatened like this, and so that's why I flipped. It is something that 77 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:30.959 defense attorneys without fail will point out, and the jury has to weigh the 78 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:38.040 credibility of any witness, but it definitely it tends to help prosecutors in the 79 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:44.160 main that witnesses say one thing before grand jury and then change their story. 80 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:48.600 They oftentimes have either their own testimony or maybe some documentary evidence to back it 81 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:53.120 up. The prosecutors must have had some reason to believe that he was lying. 82 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.560 Okay, so do we know what he was saying and what he is 83 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.439 now saying, or is that still all kind of under wraps. Well, 84 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.879 you think you can infer from what our sources are telling us that in June 85 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:10.079 Tavares received a target letter from the Special Council warning him that he was likely 86 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:14.319 to be charged with perjury for making false statements to investigators, and before the 87 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.319 grand jury in March, and then in June he comes forward to say, 88 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.600 I was approached by the body man and the maintenance man, and they told 89 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.160 me that the boss wanted the server deleted with the footage, the boxes being 90 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.000 moved around mar Lago to hide them from the attorney be when the Justice Department 91 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.639 came calling. And so you can infer in that whatever he said before the 92 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.480 grand jury was the opposite of that, and so or at least lying by 93 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:43.639 omission or in some way not telling the story that was true. And now 94 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:49.399 prosecutors are going to use him at trial to try to prove that former President 95 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:54.920 Donald Trump engaged an obstruction of justice in cooking up a scheme to have that 96 00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:01.399 footage deleted to avoid prosecutors getting their hands on it. Okay, and as 97 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.839 the result of the flip there could be more charges. Well, no, 98 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.120 I think so the charges have already been brought as a result of the flips. 99 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.920 What's new here is the fact that we've learned about it. Wasn't surprised 100 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.040 when I heard this story last night. I said, well, of course 101 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.399 Tavares has provided helpful testimony, otherwise they wouldn't been able to hand up that 102 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.920 superseding indictment in July. But the story is what was behind it, because 103 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.120 what we did not know until yesterday was that Tavares was offering different testimony earlier 104 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.080 in the year. And now you understand why they did it in two waves, 105 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.240 because in the intervening time between the first indictment and the second indictment, 106 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.679 they put pressure on this witness. He turned and that is the first known 107 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.960 instance of such a thing happening against Donald Trump. All Right, Stephen Portnoy, 108 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.120 thank you so much for the enlightenment this morning. Let's get back to 109 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.000 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. 110 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.960 Porter Ranch residents have protested a planned expansion of the Aliso Kenyon natural gas storage 111 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.240 facility. The protest yesterday comes almost eight years after the largest ghastly Kennuis history 112 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.639 that displaced about ten thousand residents. Hard to believe that was eight years ago. 113 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.960 Many of them weren't even told about the league until they started having medical 114 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.080 issues. Following plans to initially shut the facility down, the California Public Utilities 115 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:24.360 Commission has agreed to the Southern California Gas Company's request to expand the facility and 116 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.440 store more natural gas. The La City Council is set to consider a four 117 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:33.919 year contract with the union representing LAPD officers, detectives, and lieutenants. The 118 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:39.200 deal includes raises, increased healthcare benefits, and patrol incentives. The agreement was 119 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.559 approved by a mayor Bass earlier this month. City officials say the deal could 120 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.120 cost taxpayers about three hundred eighty four million dollars over the next four years. 121 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.519 The Mayor's offices. LAPD staffing has gone down by more than a thousand officers 122 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.559 since twenty twenty. Felony chargers are expected in Riverside County against a twenty one 123 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.320 year old man suspected of multiple armed operies in Moreno Valley and Cabazon.

A school bus carring dozens of 126 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:16.960 elementary school students in Ohio has collided with a minivan that crossed the center median 127 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:22.000 ABC's Alex Perez says the bus driver tried to avoid the oncoming car yesterday, 128 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.639 but the bus went off the right side of the road and flipped over. 129 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.279 One student was ejected from the bus, dying at the scene. Twenty three 130 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.919 other children taken to the hospital, one of them in serious condition. Yesterday 131 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.039 was the first day of school. Ohio, like most states, does not 132 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:43.600 require seat belts on school buses. Former President Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows 133 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.559 has asked a federal judge to block his arrest over election interference charges. In 134 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:52.759 Georgia. The deadline to surrender for all nineteen defendants is Friday. Meadows has 135 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.279 asked Fulton County DA Fannie Willis for one more business day so the federal court 136 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.840 can hold its hearing set from Monday first. Willis says she's not granting any 137 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:09.440 extensions. Performances for four Legged Friends have been happening in Orange County. It's 138 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.639 almost showtime. Hayden Ducie only started learning to play the violin just two years 139 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:20.960 ago, but the twelve year old is already putting on concerts playing for a 140 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:26.320 very special audience. Hayden is one of the volunteer musicians who perform at the 141 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.559 San Clementi Dana Point Animal Shelter. Volunteer and Pet Project Foundation board member Nancy 142 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.759 Coortz says, the special performances have a special name. We came up with 143 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:46.399 Wolfgang Puccini spelled woofgnng and Puccini poohi ni. Nancy says the concerts are a 144 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:52.200 way to engage the community while helping soothe shelter animals. Hayden says, these 145 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.639 concerts are a really cool idea show us that they really care about all the 146 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.799 animals.

We were going to record it 153 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.279 and show it to you. But she was reading so quiet. She was 154 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.799 just this cute little girl reading to the puppies. Right now, let's say 155 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:39.440 good morning to KTLA tech reporter Rich Demiro, also host of Rich on Tech 156 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.080 here on KFI. Good morning Rich, Hey, good morning to Amy. 157 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:48.960 So should I flip for the foldable phones or not? Well, that's a 158 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.840 great question. So I've been using three of them in the past month. 159 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.200 The first was the Samsung Flip five. This is kind of like the entry 160 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.759 level easiest. It literally looks like Samsung phone that just kind of folds in 161 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.360 half. Then I was testing out the Samsung Fold five, which is kind 162 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.919 of like a tablet that folds in half into a phone. And now I've 163 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.519 been testing the Google Fold, which looks like a passport that opens up into 164 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.480 a phone. They all have their pros and cons, but I've been really 165 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:24.000 trying to figure out why someone needs a foldable phone. And I understand the 166 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.480 appeal, like you get this big, giant screen that you can use sort 167 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.360 of like a tablet in your pocket at all times, but you also have 168 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.480 a regular phone. But this means that they're heavier, they're bulkier and do 169 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.200 you always need a giant screen at all times? I don't know about you, 170 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.360 but you know, maybe I open this thing up once or twice a 171 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.720 day at the most to do something on the big screen. But these companies 172 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.279 are really pushing these things, and I think in the future, when they 173 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.919 get thinner, when they get lighter, when they get sleeker, they will 174 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:56.799 be a thing. Right now, if you want one, I think it's 175 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.200 more of like the fun of it and the difference, you know, like 176 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.080 you have a different device than a lot of other people out there. Okay, 177 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:09.879 so for the folding phones, now they do they all have that flat 178 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.159 screen then when they open up, well, it's interesting. The Samsungs are 179 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.600 a little bit more advanced than the Google Phone. The Samsung's open and fold 180 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.080 flat. They have no gap in the middle. The Google phone doesn't have 181 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.240 a gap in the middle, but it doesn't completely open flat, which is 182 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.759 kind of weird. Like it opens up like maybe like one or two degrees 183 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.200 off the like you can't fully push it down like you want to, but 184 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.039 you're going to break the screen if you do that, and that's like a 185 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.279 thousand dollar break, right. Oh yeah, that's gonna be an expensive break. 186 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.960 Now, It's interesting because Samsung is really trying to get people to do 187 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:46.279 these things to switch over. So not only are they giving you a lot 188 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.159 of money towards this phone, like up to one thousand dollars to switch, 189 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:56.840 but they're also giving you one free screen protector replacement and then one discounted screen 190 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.600 repair. I think the screen repair is like about two hundred dollars or two 191 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.960 hundred and fifty bucks depending on the phone. Okay, waiting repairs and protectors. 192 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:13.360 That suggests to me that they're breaking a lot. Well, these definitely 193 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.759 do break more than a standard phone. But here's the deal. People crack 194 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.799 a standard phone screen all the time. This is just different because you're opening 195 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.240 and closing it, so there's much more of a chance for the screen, 196 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.840 you know, something to get caught in there. You have a you know, 197 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.279 I don't know why you'd have a nickel in your pocket these days, 198 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.840 but if you did and it got caught between the screen and it smash things 199 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.759 up, who knows, you know. I think I think at the end 200 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.879 of the day, they're just trying to reassure people like, look, you 201 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.600 know, you get this thing, You're gonna have two years where you can 202 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.120 get it fixed for cheaper free. And you know, look, a lot 203 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.159 of people go into the Apple store to get their iPhone screen replaced, so 204 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.600 it's kind of like the same thing. Do they have a shorter lifespan or 205 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.120 do they know yet? Are they supposed to be equal to a regular phone? 206 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.200 Yeah, that's the thing we don't know yet because it's these kind of 207 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.639 These are pretty new. I mean, Samsung has been in these for four 208 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.320 years, by the way, and they rate them for about three hundred thousand 209 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.360 folds, which if you do the math, it's a lot of folds per 210 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.559 day. And you know, it's one of those things where you're on the 211 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.279 cutting edge. There may be a problem, there may be an issue, 212 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.840 but overall, you know, they're selling I think they sold ten million of 213 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:23.240 these last year, so you know they're they're growing ever slow so slowly. 214 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.639 Okay, but her right now, you were just saying, maybe want to 215 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.679 hold off until they improve them a little bit more. Well, I think 216 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.000 that they're at a good place this year. All three models are at a 217 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:34.679 really good place. But you have to understand the compromise is if you go 218 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.440 to my website rich on tech dot tv, I write about all that stuff 219 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.759 with the fold and the flip. You know, you just have to know 220 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:42.840 what you're getting. But if you want to be on the cutting edge, 221 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.960 like I've been carrying one of these things for a month now, and it's 222 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.399 really fun because you always have this big screen with you. But at the 223 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:53.759 same time, it's always have big screen with you. Yeah, it's just 224 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.360 it's it's just not like you have this small phone in your pocket like these 225 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.000 are heavier. They're a little bit bulk heere. Okay, so iPhones coming 226 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.440 out with their new phone and that's when we get rid of the lightning jack 227 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.920 and go to the USBC, which is more universal, right, yes, 228 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:18.599 okay, so this yep, And what's what's the cool thing that they're including 229 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.759 with the new USBC. Well, you know, it's a slow tech newsday 230 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:27.799 when I'm talking about the braided cable on the iPhone. But here's the deal. 231 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:32.559 A lot of people'll be we'll be using USBC for the first time when 232 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:37.839 the iPhone fifteen comes out next month. USBC is currently what they use for 233 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.519 one end of the cable that plugs into the charger, but now it will 234 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.559 be the other end of the cable that plugs into the phone. So it's 235 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:49.559 kind of like a universal charger cable, data cable, whatever you want to 236 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.799 call it. That has been used on Android phones for many years. Now 237 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.319 it's coming to the iPhone, which will make it a lot easier to pack 238 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.839 for vacations and trips and travel because you only need to pack one cable. 239 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.200 But Apple, I think they're doing something a little bit nice. They're making 240 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.960 the cable longer. It is braided, so it has this nice like fabric 241 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:12.079 braiding on the outside, and the rumor mill says that it will match the 242 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.680 color of the phone you get. Okay, so that sounds ridiculous, but 243 00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:19.799 I will tell you I had the rose Gold phone which got stole loop so 244 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.119 I don't have it anymore. But when I got that, I got a 245 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:27.359 rose gold case and I got a rose gold chord for it. So yeah, 246 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.200 okay, ridiculous, But I was all matchy matchy, and I loved 247 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.759 it. I hear you, And I just posted on my Instagram. The 248 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.200 other day I was in Walmart, much to my wife's chagrine, she does 249 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.680 not like Walmart, but we were in there and I was like ready to 250 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.480 tweet about how I thought it was funny that they're selling a sparkly charging cable 251 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.160 and pink or whatever purple, and she was like, oh my gosh, 252 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.440 I need a new cable, and she literally bought it, and I was 253 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.039 cracking up, and I posted this to my Instagram stories and every person wrote 254 00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.880 me back and was like, yeah, Rich, we like our cables a 255 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:02.319 lot of women, and they're like, we like our cables to be you 256 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:03.839 know, the same color or fun or sparkly. And I was like, 257 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.279 all right, you know, there's just some things in this world I don't 258 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.359 understand, and that's one of them. Okay, Well, I'm glad that 259 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.519 they're going to have MATCHI MATCHI cables because it apparently to me and many other 260 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:17.960 women, it's a very important thing. There you go. KTLA Tech reporter 261 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.920 Rich Demiro, host of rich on Tech right here on KFI Saturdays from eleven 262 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:26.599 to two. Love your show, by the way, and you can follow 263 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.279 Rich on Instagram at rich on Tech. His website is rich on Tech dot 264 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.279 tv. Thanks Rich, All right, have a great day. All right, 265 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:34.559 let's get back to a couple of the stories coming out of the KFI 266 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.720 twenty four hour newsroom. The Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers has released 267 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:44.200 a statement with its offer to striking Hollywood writers. It's been met with resistance 268 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.079 and skepticism from union leaders. They've promised a more detailed description today on the 269 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:53.039 state of negotiations. The union representing three hundred forty thousand UPS workers says it's 270 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:57.640 members have approved a tentative five year contract deal that avertsus strike. The teamsters 271 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:02.519 say eighty six percent of the it's cast were in favor of ratifying the contract. 272 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:04.799 The union says that was the highest vote for a contract in the history 273 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:10.799 of the teamsters at UPS. The deal was reached days before an August first 274 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:15.440 deadline, and the La City Council has approved plans for public safety upgrades at 275 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:21.400 the Hollywood Sign. One calls for putting a permanent fence around or a long 276 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:26.480 Mulholland Highway to stop drivers from stopping near the sign. They would also install 277 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.480 a traffic roundabout in the area. Now, the City Bureau of Engineering has 278 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.599 a few months to find a way to pay for the updates. When we 279 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.200 come back, we're gonna be talking to Jane Wells. It's time for Biz 280 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:38.519 Buzz and the Buzzes. If you want to buy a home, you need 281 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.839 to make a lot of money. The Justice Department says a witness in the 282 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:48.960 federal prosecution of Donald Trump over classified documents has retracted prior falls testimony after switching 283 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:55.319 lawyers, and provided new information implicating the former president. India could become only 284 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.680 the fourth nation to ever land a spacecraft on the Moon. It's scheduled to 285 00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:02.079 touch down today and if it does, it would become the first space moduled 286 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:07.279 land on the lunar South Pole. Remember the Russian spacecraft Luna would have beat 287 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:08.839 India to the South Pole, but wound up crashing into the Moon. Over 288 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.920 the weekend. At six o five, it's handled on the news, the 289 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:18.519 first two of nineteen defendants in the election interference case in Georgia have surrendered. 290 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.440 We'll take a look at who's turning themselves. In next five fifty we'll be 291 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.279 talking with five dot COM's Nathaniel Raikitch about what to expect at the first Republican 292 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.200 presidential debate. It's tonight, but right now, let's say good morning to 293 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:37.799 CNBC special correspondent Jane Wells. Jane, this storm has done a number on 294 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.039 farmers, which I'm guessing is not going to be great news. When it 295 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.559 comes to prices and supplies later, well, it may end up being an 296 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:49.519 issue amy, because two thirds of our winter vegetables come from the Imperial Valley, 297 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.359 which kind of dodged a bullet with Hillary. It was supposed to be, 298 00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:57.480 you know, really wallop the farmland out in that part of the world. 299 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:03.960 They did get a bit of rain and really some whipping winds the farmers 300 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:08.039 down there. That's where I spent most of Monday, Sunday and Monday covering 301 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:14.799 the storm social media. I'm sorry I saw you on social media. Oh 302 00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:19.119 yes, I happened to be on Interstate eight as this huge boulder came crashing 303 00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:23.200 down and we barely got past it before HP closed. It was you know, 304 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:26.839 the wind was more interesting to me than the rain. It was just 305 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.640 so sustained and intense. But we talked to these farmers out there who managed 306 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.599 to get out what they had in the ground, which is a lot of 307 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:38.880 alfalfa and corn stuff that they sell to the dairy industry, and get that 308 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.079 bailed up quickly. I mean, they were hiring people right and left, 309 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.279 doing double cruise, all kinds of overtime. Now, the question is they're 310 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:49.319 supposed to be planting those winter vegetables now, getting the seed in the ground, 311 00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.680 and they are going to have to wait and see if the ground dries 312 00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:56.359 out, how quickly it dries out. Some farmers are like, hey, 313 00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.160 minimal damage is not that big a deal. Others are saying, we you 314 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.200 know, everything has to go perfect now. We can't have any more of 315 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:07.240 this kind of weather going on or they're going to miss their contracts. I 316 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:10.240 mean, they they're on a very strict schedule. Most of the farmers down 317 00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:15.480 the Coachella Valley farmers got hit really hard because they the way the land is, 318 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.400 the ground is up there and slopes. They didn't have quite as much 319 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.480 drainage, so it was not great, but it could have been a lot 320 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:29.559 worse. So they they were harvesting ahead of the storm so it was ready, 321 00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:33.160 or they did they kind of take it a little before it was ready, 322 00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:36.680 just to make sure they got it, got it both. I mean, 323 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:40.640 whatever they had in the ground they were they were pulling out. Now 324 00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.000 it had to go. There were some crops that we saw. The one 325 00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.480 guy was trying to grow a jalapeno pepper crop down there for the first time 326 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.920 because there's such a pepper shortage. He ironically, this farmer alex Jack, 327 00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:57.680 last Friday before the storm was having to put sprinklers on these pepper plants to 328 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:02.200 get them keep them cool because it was like one hundred and fifteen degrees down 329 00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:06.119 there. Knowing that there was going to be this deluge of rain and wind 330 00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:10.640 that might just mow his pepper plants down. They did. Okay, he 331 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:12.160 lost a few, but he's going to be okay. But most of the 332 00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:15.960 stuff in the ground was alfalfa and other kinds of feed, and they just 333 00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:19.279 got it out bailed. They had it under tarps to try and protect it. 334 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.759 Some tarps work better than others. But now goes in, you know, 335 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.720 spinach and broccoli and artist chokes and all the sorts of things that Americans 336 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:32.640 eat during the winter. And the hope is that the ground dries out and 337 00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:34.319 it's going to be okay and then you can keep to their schedule. Well, 338 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.079 it's see me back to like one hundred degrees again for the rest of 339 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.160 this week, so maybe that'll dry it out quickly. So I'm curious as 340 00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:48.359 to whether our region is being relied on more heavily because of what's going on 341 00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:56.880 Ukraine, or are those two separate harvests. They're separate. I mean the 342 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:03.200 vegetables. Ukraine is most lee wheat and that comes out of that part of 343 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.799 the world, the Imperial Valley. For the interesting, A lot of it 344 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.599 goes to Saudi Arabian other parts of the world, not just California dairy industry 345 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.319 or whatever. But it's not It is a little bit of to use an 346 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:19.440 actor, apples and oranges. No, okay, well that's good. So 347 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:22.960 if you're looking to buy a house, good luck, because you've got to 348 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.759 make a ton of money to do it. Do it. Yeah, the 349 00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:32.319 California Association of Realtors, I actually was a little surprised at the median home 350 00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:37.279 price isn't higher, even though it is very high. The median home price 351 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:42.400 right now in California is eight hundred and thirty thousand dollars, and you have 352 00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:48.599 to make a minimum income of two hundred and eight thousand dollars to qualify for 353 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:53.359 a mortgage. And only sixteen percent of the people in California can afford that 354 00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:59.000 medium home price with that kind of and have that kind of salary. Sixteen 355 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:03.119 percent. Back in twenty twelve, it was fifty six percent of people could 356 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.359 afford a meeting the medium price of a home. So we have really housing, 357 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.920 as we all know, has become unaffordable in California. But it's really 358 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:18.200 bad. The condo prices again are more affordable. They have actually come down 359 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.519 a little bit since a year ago. Twenty five percent of us can afford 360 00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:25.160 the media and a condo, which is six hundred and forty thousand dollars. 361 00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:27.759 You have to make about one hundred and sixty thousand dollars a minimum to afford 362 00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:33.319 that. So you can factor that into your into your checkbook, and you 363 00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.160 and your I just don't know, you know, I have kids. I 364 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.720 have a daughter who's in her thirties, has makes a great living as a 365 00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.799 lawyer, and she wonders if she'll ever be able to buy a house where 366 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.000 she wants. You know, it depends on where you want to be. 367 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.359 Like if you want to live in or Sanfordino County, which is the most 368 00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:55.200 affordable county down here, the medium hoe price there is four hundred and fifty 369 00:26:55.200 --> 00:27:00.200 seven thousand dollars and find inncome would be one hundred and fourteen. Oh, 370 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:02.839 only one hundred fourteen, But then you have to drive two hours to get 371 00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:07.839 into town. For your job. Yeah, unless you're going to work out 372 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:08.960 there, and maybe you're not gonna make a one hundred and fourteen thousand out 373 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.559 there. In LA, the median price is seven hundred and ninety thousand, 374 00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:15.079 and you got to make almost two hundred thousand for that. And in Orange 375 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:19.799 County, which is the most expensive down here, one point two five million 376 00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:26.279 is the median price. That means half the homes are worth more than that 377 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:29.960 and half the homes are worth less one point two five million. You need 378 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:37.559 a median qualifying income of three hundred and thirteen thousand and two hundred dollars gets 379 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.160 them not buying in Orange County. No, Oh, my gosh, I 380 00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.240 didn't realize it was and I didn't realize there was that much of a disparity 381 00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:48.519 between LA and Orange County County. That's a huge number. That is uh, 382 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:53.599 that's almost yeah, that's almost thirty That's more than thirty percent more to 383 00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:57.759 live in Orange County than it is in LA. That's that's crazy. Yeah. 384 00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:00.039 And then when the prices are that high too, you know, you 385 00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.240 want to hit that threshold of having twenty percent down so you don't have to 386 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.559 pay the what's that insurance last. Yeah, hold on, hold on, 387 00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:12.680 I'm back. You know that the insurance you have to pay if you don't 388 00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:18.400 put twenty percent down, that also raises that threshold because if you, you 389 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.400 know, if you if you're buying a million dollar house, the chances of 390 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:25.559 you having enough to put down twenty percent might be a little bit lower as 391 00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:29.480 well. Well, that's and now we've got interest rates close to seven percent 392 00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:33.519 on mortgages. You know, the twenty percent down you don't. There are 393 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.119 more depending on what your income is. You can get a mortgage for ten 394 00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.240 percent. You can get a mortgage for like five percent down. But that's 395 00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.599 the big thing, and that's where I think a lot of people who are 396 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:45.880 buying their houses are depending on their parents to help them or something, you 397 00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.200 know, if their parents even can help them. I just I don't see 398 00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:53.400 it as being sustainable. When interest rates went up, housing prizes were supposed 399 00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.920 to come down, and that really hasn't happened. Well, cross our fingers 400 00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:03.039 that maybe it does happen eventually. I'm not gonna hold my breath for it. 401 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:04.160 Yeah no, I wouldn't either, all right, Jane Wells, thank 402 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:07.480 you so much for your time. I'm glad you've made it home safely and 403 00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.599 and we're able to escape the Big Boulder. Yeah, thank you, Amy. 404 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.920 All right, you can find out the latest from Jane on Substack at 405 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:19.920 Jane Wells dot substack dot com. And I wanted to mention really quickly. 406 00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:25.720 I said at the opening of this segment that India was planning to touch down 407 00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:30.279 on the Moon. It has. The spacecraft has landed near the Moon's south 408 00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:34.319 pole, becoming the fourth country to touch down on the lunar surface. The 409 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:38.400 Elsa Gundo All Stars are still in it. They beat the team from Smithfield 410 00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:44.240 Road Island nine to three in the elimination bracket yesterday. They play again today 411 00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.240 against Nolansville, Tennessee. The games at four on ESPN and on Fubo. 412 00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.759 We're just minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, you're going 413 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.440 to keep getting your packages from ups. Three hundred forty thousand teamsters workers have 414 00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.839 approved a new contract. Right now, let's say good morning to five thirty 415 00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:06.680 eight dot COM's senior elections analyst Nathaniel Rak. Nathaniel, the first debate is 416 00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:11.839 tonight. Who standing center stage and how'd they get there? Yeah? Ronda 417 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.039 Santis and Vivek Ramaswamy are the two candidates who are going to be in the 418 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:19.559 middle of the stage, And the podiums were arranged based on polling, which 419 00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:23.480 is also part of how the candidates qualified for the debate. So in order 420 00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:26.880 to be on the stage at all, you had to reach at least one 421 00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.920 percent in a series of polls that the RNC had kind of set criteria for. 422 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.359 But the candidates with kind of the highest polling numbers are in the middle. 423 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.640 Of course, Donald Trump is polling at the absolute highest in the entire 424 00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.200 race, but he is gipping the debate. Yeah, so with Trump not 425 00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:42.759 there, what are we expecting to see? Are they going to go after 426 00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:45.759 Trump? Are they going to go after Biden? Are they going to go 427 00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.240 after each other? Or do we just have to kind of wait and see. 428 00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:51.559 Yeah, well, I think all of the above, right, you 429 00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:55.160 know, I think Trump is obviously the front runner in the race, so 430 00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:57.880 they have a lot of incentive to try to tear him down. Of course, 431 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:03.039 that's something that they haven't necessarily shown much interest in doing with regard to 432 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:04.720 like his indictments, for example, It's a turkey thing to attack Trump, 433 00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:08.000 who remains so popular within the party. But I do think having him not 434 00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:12.079 be there makes it a little bit easier because maybe, you know, there's 435 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.039 not the risk that Trump will kind of lash out at you, and maybe 436 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.519 there is strength in numbers in terms of if all the candidates attack Trump a 437 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.319 little bit, he won't single any one of them out, you know, 438 00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:25.920 on social media later on or something like that. But then otherwise, yeah, 439 00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:30.359 I would expect people to maybe attack of the Ramaswami who has been rising 440 00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.079 in the poll, and also run to Santas who is still barely in second 441 00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:40.200 place. Do it, Does it debate this early matter that much? Or 442 00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:42.599 is it too early in the race, or is like, what's the significance 443 00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:48.960 of having a fifteen months before the election? Yeah, it's it's pretty early 444 00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:52.000 for sure. I mean obviously, you know, bear in mighty fifteen months 445 00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:55.880 before the general election, but people will be voting in Iowa in less than 446 00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:59.720 six months, so it's not that early with regard to the primary. But 447 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:01.240 obviously they're going to be more debates. You know, a candidate who has 448 00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:05.519 a bad performance you know today, might have a better performance later on. 449 00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.839 So it's not probably not make or break, but you know, we'll obviously 450 00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:12.640 we'll still be watching. You know, it's you know, if you maybe 451 00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:15.960 have a bad performance today and you lose five or ten percentage points in the 452 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:17.720 in the polls, you know, that's ground you have to make up later. 453 00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:22.640 So so you'd rather not. Yeah, Traditionally do the debates move the 454 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:29.720 needle that much? Traditionally not that much. You know, basically the things 455 00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:31.759 that can happen in the race are you know, you can shoot yourself in 456 00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:37.000 the foot right debate probably won't help you that much. The kind of one 457 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:43.319 exception is if you are a lesser known candidate, So maybe the Promiswamy would 458 00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.240 fall into this category. Even though he's rising in the polls nationally, he's 459 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:51.400 still only in like the high single digits, I believe, But you know, 460 00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:54.519 there are still like a majority of Republicans who don't have an opinion of 461 00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:58.559 him yet they just don't know enough about him perform one. And so if 462 00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:01.680 he has a strong performance today, obviously this is a national audience that could 463 00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:06.319 you know, maybe make more Republicans say they're considering voting for him. But 464 00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:07.279 then on the foot side, yes, you know, think about like brit 465 00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:12.440 Carry a few years ago when he couldn't remember the three cabinet departments that he 466 00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.079 would eliminate as president. That basically sunk his campaign because it showed that he 467 00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:19.960 wasn't ready for prime time. Yeah, and as far as national exposure, 468 00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.759 I can't even name all eight of the people who are up on stage tonight, 469 00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:25.319 and I usually picked pretty close attention. But there's a couple on the 470 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:30.319 end that I don't know who they are yet. Yeah, exactly. So 471 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:35.319 the candidates with the lowest name recognition who are on the stage are North Dakota 472 00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:39.640 Governor Doug Bergom and our former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson. So I think they 473 00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:43.440 might have the most of games in the debate if they can put on a 474 00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:46.599 good performance. I guess we'll have to wait and see. And it's going 475 00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:49.839 to be the first How many debates are they going to do? Do we 476 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:53.319 know? No, they haven't announced, but so far there's so they're doing 477 00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:57.440 one obviously today, They're doing one in September and one in October, so 478 00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:59.880 it's kind of weak they heap up that pace. We might be looking at 479 00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:01.680 one for months until the primary is over, Okay, and then real quick, 480 00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:05.000 five thirty eight is going to be watching the debate, of course, 481 00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:09.880 and then immediately after do you start polling to see how everybody did? Yeah, 482 00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:15.079 exactly. So we've partnered with EPSOS and the Washington Post and we are 483 00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:19.760 going to go into the field of this, you know, eight pm Pacific 484 00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.880 tonight, right when the debate ends, and then we'll be polling throughout the 485 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:24.760 night, and then we'll have result of that poll in the morning. Floyer 486 00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:29.599 of the seed in almost in real time, whether the debate did move the 487 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:31.000 needle? Okay, And we can see the results at five thirty eight dot 488 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:35.840 com. Yes, absolutely, they should be up by midday on Thursday. 489 00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:39.639 Can't wait. Thanks so much, Nathaniel Rackage for your expertise about the debates 490 00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:44.239 coming up tonight. Some of the stories coming up out of the KFI twenty 491 00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:47.519 four hour newsroom. Officials in Ventura County say a body pulled from the ocean 492 00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:52.519 had puncture injuries. The man was found Saturday in the water off Point Magoo, 493 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:58.760 the Ventura County Sheriff's offices. The death is considered suspicious. Former USC 494 00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:04.239 running back Reggie Bush is expected to announce a defamation lawsuit against the NCUBLEA alleging 495 00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:07.920 he received improper benefits. His lawyers say the lawsuits based on the NCUBALEA issuing 496 00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:14.360 a statement in twenty twenty one saying it would not consider restoring Bush's collegiate records 497 00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:19.039 because of his prior involvement in a pay for play arrangement. An NCUBAA investigation 498 00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:22.599 found Bush, his mother, and stepfather accepted thousands of dollars in cash and 499 00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:28.280 free housing from a would be marketer while Bush was playing for usc beginning in 500 00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:32.480 December twenty of two thousand four. Officials in Mexico say the use of roadside 501 00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:37.079 bombs by drug cartels is on the rise.
