00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:08.640
You're listening to wake Up Call on
demand from kf I AM six forty KFI

2
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:15.160
hand KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time for your

3
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:27.679
morning wake up call. Here's Amy
King. This is your wake up call

4
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.839
for Wednesday, August ninth. Good
morning, I'm Amy King. I dig

5
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:36.799
that music always gets me going.
Have you ever thought that you were prepared

6
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.960
for the day and then at the
very last second you remember that you forgot

7
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.479
something. Yeah, I just did
that. We were about ready to go

8
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.920
on the air, and I was
like, I don't have my headphones.

9
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.159
And if you know anything about radio, and even if you don't, I'll

10
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.359
tell you you have to wear headphones
or you can't hear what's going on aside

11
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.320
from your own voice, So you
can't hear like I couldn't hear you Kono.

12
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.119
Yeah, headphones are a big prior. I know I wouldn't be able

13
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.319
to hear Anne handle Wayne, anybody
wouldn't be able to hear my sound bites.

14
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.400
So I'm a little winded, but
I'm centered. I got my coffee,

15
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.920
glad you're breck. Thank you.
My oatmeal is stewing. I'll be

16
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.599
eating that soon. And here's what's
ahead on the wake up call. More

17
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.359
than eleven thousand la City workers are
expected to return to their jobs today,

18
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.959
a day after staging a twenty four
hour strike over contract talks that delayed trash

19
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:32.400
pickups, snarled traffic at Laxton caused
some of their service disruptions around the city.

20
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.760
Voters in Ohio have voted down an
issue that would have required a sixty

21
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:42.560
percent majority to pass constitutional amendments in
the state. Preduliminary results show fifty seven

22
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:47.719
percent of voters were against it.
There is a Megamillion's jackpot winner, but

23
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.760
it's not you unless you're listening in
Florida. Someone in Florida has the winning

24
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.000
ticket, worth one point five eight
billion dollars. It's the third largest jackpot

25
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.599
in US history. Let's get started
with some of the story is coming out

26
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.959
of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. As I mentioned, thousands of city

27
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.599
workers in la have wrapped up a
one day strike demanding a fair labor contract.

28
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.919
More than eleven thousand members with SCIU
Local seven twenty one hit the streets,

29
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.000
rallying from lax to city hall.
This worker says LA's in the middle

30
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.039
of a labor movement and It's time
for the city to step up and make

31
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.759
a real offer. We tired the
hassle and you know, playing around with

32
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.759
our money in our livelihood, because
we deserved this day for the promises a

33
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.639
contract, and they're just playing with
us. Garbage went uncollected and city pools

34
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.159
were shut down yesterday as crowds marched
in solidarity. Mayor Bass says the city

35
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:43.800
is willing to bargain in good faith. Chris Adler KFI News. La County

36
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:50.360
supervisors have approved an ordinance requiring more
protections for hotel workers in unincorporated areas.

37
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:55.800
The ordinance approved yesterday caps the square
footage attendance can clean before the hotels have

38
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.439
to start paying them double time.
Supervisor Lindsay Horvat says it also requires hotels

39
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.840
to give room attendance panic buttons.
Hotel workers play an important part in the

40
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:10.319
success of our county's tourism industry,
and therefore we must ensure that hotels protect

41
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.479
and honor the work which those employees
perform. The rules don't go into effect

42
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.280
just yet. The ordinance does need
another vote and then the rules can go

43
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:24.039
into effect. An eyewitnessed to that
mid air collision of two firefighting helicopters in

44
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:29.080
Riverside County, says he's still processing
what he saw. Terrence says he was

45
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.400
driving his eighteen wheeler westbound on the
ten just before the Morongo Casino when he

46
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.080
noticed all of the aircraft dropping water
and retarded on a brush fire in Cabazon.

47
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.280
But moments later, he says he
saw a small helicopter come up under

48
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.000
a larger helicopter. I was waiting
for it to pull up. I thought

49
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.599
it was leaving on a pull up
or swing out, and I'm watching it.

50
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.599
I'm thinking in my headlight, I
think they're going to hit. That's

51
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.240
when the bell four oh seven and
the skycrane collided, and that's when Terrence

52
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.479
says he couldn't believe what he'd seen. The bell went into a tailspan in

53
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.960
Jess just dropped. I saw it
hit the mountain. I saw the ball

54
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:02.639
of fire and then the black smoke. He says, that's the first time

55
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.680
you'd ever witnessed anything like that.
A few minutes later, he pulled over,

56
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.960
and I'd just had to get out
the trucking kind of gather my senses

57
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:14.120
of what I just watched. Happened
pretty sure. I just watch somebody die.

58
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.639
That tanage shook me up. Two
CalFire employees and a contract pilot died

59
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.480
that Sunday afternoon. Terrence says he
reached out and told his story to the

60
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:27.720
NTSB. Steve Gregory ca if I
knows. Cases of westyle virus have been

61
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:32.720
confirmed in San Bernardino. The infections
mark the first local human cases in the

62
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.839
county of this year. The virus
is transmitted through the bite of an infected

63
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:42.639
mosquito. The CDC says about one
in five infected people will develop symptoms like

64
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.720
a fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, rash, or diarrhea.

65
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:53.279
The owner of a cemetery in Carson
have abandoned the property, leaving people unable

66
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:59.040
to visit grave sites of loved ones. The gates of Lincoln Memorial Park Cemetery

67
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.680
have been closed since last month when
the owners stopped paying for the properties licenses.

68
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:09.480
The Cemetery and Funeral Bureau says the
city or county will likely take over

69
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:14.199
and assign a temporary manager. Officials
say it's one of the oldest cemeteries in

70
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.600
the US. The soldiers from the
Civil War buried there. It's five zero

71
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.519
six on your wake up call,
let's say good morning now to ABC's Jay

72
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.000
O'Brien. Jay, ghost guns were
front and center for the Supreme Court.

73
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:32.160
What did they rule and what does
it do? So this all ties back

74
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:38.120
to that regulation that you heard President
buying and called for a while back,

75
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.839
which says that he wants ghost guns
to have serial numbers and background checks from

76
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.879
people who buy them in things of
that nature. So that all gets instituted

77
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.360
that rule by the ATF in twenty
twenty two, and then gun manufacturers and

78
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:57.040
gun rights groups sue and a several
judge in Texas agrees with what they have

79
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.639
to say, and the judge in
Texas eventually says, okay, but the

80
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.800
parts of a gun are not a
gun, And so that case gets sent

81
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.680
all the way through the appeals court
process, it goes all the way to

82
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.199
the Supreme Court on an emergency basis, and the government says, okay,

83
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.680
while this broader case plays out,
can we still enforce the rule. All

84
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.439
of that is a long explanation to
stay with the Supreme Court yesterday did and

85
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:23.279
said, yes, Government, you
can enforce this rule requiring these regulations around

86
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:27.160
ghost guns while this broader lawsuit of
whether or not the government can't even have

87
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.040
this rule plays out. Okay,
so the issue isn't settled, but until

88
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:38.160
it is, the rules will be
enforced exactly until it is. If you

89
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.040
buy a ghost gun, that part
of a ghost gun, because a ghost

90
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.600
gun is various parts of a firearm
that are purchased, sent through the mail,

91
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.879
and assembled at home. Those parts
have to have serial numbers, they

92
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.120
have to have background checks for you
to buy them. Just like if you

93
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.240
were to walk into a gun store
and buyer a firearm, A lot of

94
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.399
the regulations around that would now apply
to ghost guns. Now, the argument

95
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.040
again is that the parts of a
gun are not a gun. That's the

96
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.480
argument that the gun manufacturers did.
But the government has said, look,

97
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:11.000
these are being used to assemble real
guns. They started statistics saying about nineteen

98
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.639
thousand had been recovered from crime scenes
across the country in twenty twenty one.

99
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.279
So they say this is a real
problem that needs to be addressed. And

100
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.439
while the debate rages us whether or
not the government can have this rule,

101
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.560
they can still enforce it while that
case plays out. Okay, and you

102
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:31.319
mentioned the nineteen thousand. That's a
huge increase in the number of ghost guns

103
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.360
from just a couple of years before. So it's not a little issue.

104
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:39.879
I mean, it's becoming a bigger
and bigger issue. No one having this

105
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:46.319
regulation is a centerpiece of the president's
gun violence policy. This is one of

106
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.519
the biggest swings he took, and
so if he were to lose at the

107
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.319
Supreme Court and not be able to
enforce this, that would be a significant

108
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.560
blow to the administration. So what
happens next is this goes to the appeals

109
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.399
court, the broader case does the
Supreme Court, The Appeals Court hears it,

110
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.160
and once it comes to from the
Appeals Court, no matter what the

111
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.680
decision is, you can expect either
side here to appeal to the Supreme Court.

112
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:13.040
So there's a very high likelihood that
this broader case lands on the steps

113
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.920
of the Supreme Court, not just
the emergency part of it. Okay,

114
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.720
And is there any kind of a
timeline you set now it goes back to

115
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.800
a lower court and they'll fight it
out. Do we know when that case

116
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.639
gets started or is that just sort
of in limbo right now? Yeah,

117
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.720
they hear arguments on it in September. Again, how long it takes to

118
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.320
them the rule is still very much
unclear. This is a pretty complex case.

119
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:39.080
And then of course that after that
happens, it's expected to either side

120
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.720
is expected to appeal to the Supreme
Court. It's going to be up to

121
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.320
the Supreme Court whether or not they
want to take it. And this is

122
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.240
a court that you really don't know
where they're going to go with this stuff

123
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.480
because they granted this emergency order.
But in the past, this is a

124
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.080
court controlled by conservative justices that have
gutted other gun laws in the past.

125
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.240
New York's gun law is a good
example. So very much unclear where we

126
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.039
go from there. Okay, so
you mentioned the justices in the makeup of

127
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.879
the Supreme Court. Any surprises in
how the justices voted because you had to.

128
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.320
It was a five four ruling,
so you had to get a couple

129
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.399
of conservatives to side with you.
Yeah, you knew where I was going

130
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.639
with this. So there are the
Chief Justice John Roberts, who's a conservative.

131
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.360
He sided with the three liberals to
put this over the goal line.

132
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.279
But the other person who's side at
the three liberals is Amy Coney Barrett,

133
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.960
who's a Trump appointed justice. She
sided with the liberals on the court as

134
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:35.480
well to again grant this emergency order
that lets the government enforce this rule while

135
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:41.039
the broader case plays out. The
other four conservative justices Kavanaugh, Thomas,

136
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.240
etc. They opposed this. Nobody
gave their reasoning, which is pretty common

137
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.840
when it's this emergency kind of petition. They don't write it out in the

138
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.639
whole opinion like we're used to seeing. But if this case does land on

139
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.159
their doorstep, they will have the
opportunity to write their whole opinions and we'll

140
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.519
see what they think of this law
from a legal perspective. Okay, So

141
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.840
for now, the rules are back
in place while they fight it out in

142
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.799
the lower courts, and we'll be
watching. Thanks so much for your time,

143
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:11.879
Jay, appreciate your insight into what
happened in the Supreme Court yesterday.

144
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.080
Thank you. All right, let's
get back to some of the stories coming

145
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.919
out of the KFI twenty four hour
news room. A Mega Millions lottery tickets

146
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.919
sold in Florida has hit a nearly
one point six billion dollar jackpot. The

147
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.639
cash payout option would be in estimated
seven hundred eighty three million dollars, not

148
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:30.039
too shabby. Tickets matching five of
the six winning numbers worth a million dollars

149
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.840
or more were sold in Texas,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Florida, North

150
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.080
Carolina, and Central California. Nothing
in southern California. The last time anyone

151
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:43.279
won the Mega Millions top prize was
April eighteenth. Judges in la and San

152
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.960
Diego have ordered two US Navy sailors
accused of spying for China to remain in

153
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:54.080
jail as their court cases begin.
The active duty sailors appeared in court yesterday.

154
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.720
Both judges found the men are flight
risks and dangerous to the community for

155
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.960
allegedly selling military secrets to China.
In one case, a defense lawyer says

156
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.399
his client thought he was dealing with
in investment operative and not an agent of

157
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:11.440
China. The judge hearing the case
against former President Trump in Washington, DC's

158
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.720
ordered lawyers from both sides to meet
in court Friday to talk about proposed restrictions

159
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:20.039
on what Trump can and cannot publicly
disclose. Trump has promised to talk about

160
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.440
the criminal charges he faces over efforts
to overturn the twenty twenty election. Federal

161
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:30.559
prosecutors want him borrowed from revealing certain
evidence gathered in the Special Council's investigation.

162
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:35.159
A former Chapman University professor and ex
lawyer for former President Trump, wants his

163
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.879
disbarment hearings put on pause. John
Eastman's lawyer claims Eastman was called an unnamed

164
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:45.000
co conspirator and Trump's latest indictment not
an unindicted co conspirator. The motion filed

165
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.200
Friday, claims that omission could mean
Eastman will soon be indicted and therefore disbarment

166
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.120
hearing set for later this month can
wait. Eastman defended his theory to overturn

167
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.240
the twenty twenty election results because of
voter fraud in recent interviews with Tom Klingenstein.

168
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.679
In each of the swing states,
the number of ballots that are provably

169
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:05.080
illegal or circumstantially illegal exceeds the margin
in each of those sis. He says

170
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.440
that plus similar irregularities in other swing
states resulted in thousands of mail in and

171
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:15.159
absentee ballots being counted with weak signature
verification. As for claims, these are

172
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.879
just conspiracy theories. Trying to stop
an illegal election is not a coup,

173
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.720
but trying to a thwart a coup, but the fact that that true narrative

174
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.679
is being censored and shut down so
that the false narrative can prevail because I

175
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.759
think part of the existential threat.
Multiple state recounts in Supreme Court lawsuits have

176
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:37.320
all debunked those claims. Corbin Carson
kf I News. Okay, if you

177
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.600
heard of the movie Sound of Freedom. It has been sort of a surprise

178
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.879
box office success. It's over one
hundred million dollars now, and somebody wants

179
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.279
you to see it. The organization, co founded by In and Out Burger's

180
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:58.480
owner and president, is hosting free
screenings of the Sound of Freedom. The

181
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.440
free screening is at seven tonight at
these theaters at the AMC Montebello in Montebello,

182

Freedom. I've heard the movie is
really great, supposed to be based on

188
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:37.200
a true story. Haven't seen it
yet. It starts Jim Kavazol and always

189
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.840
really love him. Right now,
it's time for tech Talk with KTLA tech

190
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:46.120
reporter Rich DeMuro and the host of
Rich on Tech right here on KFI.

191
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.840
Rich starting off with some welcome news. Lift may stop the surge. Yeah,

192
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.279
and anyone who's been to the Taylor
Swift concert in the last couple of

193
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.279
days probably has experienced that surge pricing, or any time you leave somewhere where

194
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.200
there's a lot of people. It's
not fun because you check the price before

195
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.720
you go and it totally changes.
But Lifts says they don't like it,

196
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.840
which is surprising because drivers love it. They make a lot more money when

197
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:15.679
it's surge pricing. Uber does it
as well. They sort of invented the

198
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.559
genre of surge pricing, but Lift
says they want to get rid of it.

199
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.600
They have enough drivers to do it, and they think that it would

200
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.960
be a differentiator over Uber if they
can say, look, our prices kind

201
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.840
of stay the same all the time, so you can trust us and know

202
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.399
that you can go somewhere and take
a lift and say, I almost said

203
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.480
Uber, and you could take lift
back knowing that you're not going to be

204
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.159
surged on the way home. That
might bump me over to Lift you know,

205
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.879
I took Lift exclusively for about three
years, and I recently switched back

206
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.080
to Uber. And you know,
I switched to Lift because I thought that

207
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.159
they kind of treated drivers a little
bit differently. Drivers were a little bit

208
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.279
more you know, interested in the
company, like they kind of stuck to

209
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.080
them, and you know, drive
taking both, I really don't know if

210
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.960
there's a huge difference. I think
that's the problem here. They need a

211
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.799
differentiator because these two brands are almost
interchangeable. Do we know what the markets

212
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.639
market share is like the split between
them. That's a good question. I

213
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.960
don't have that information in front of
me, but I can tell you how

214
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.120
many riders if I can figure out
how many writers Uber had versus Lift.

215
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:28.759
So Lift had in the last quarter
looked about two million riders, so you

216
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.320
know, Uber probably more than that. I'm guessing. I was just curious

217
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.960
because I I don't really even think
of Lift except when I see their little

218
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:41.759
signs in the windows. Well let's
be okay. So according to some notes,

219
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.240
I have Uber about seventy percent,
Lift about thirty percent. And here's

220
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.639
the thing. I think a lot
of people, depending on the credit card

221
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.320
they have, the you know,
the perks they get choose one versus the

222
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.960
other. Like I know that,
for instance, the Chase visas have a

223
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.720
deal with Lift while the American Expresses
have a deal with Uber, and so

224
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.320
that makes a big difference. Obviously, it's habit, and I think just

225
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.720
you know, what people have been
using over the time, and you know,

226
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.080
I think price comparison is a little
bit to do with it. I

227
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.279
think some people will compare the prices
of both and go with what's cheaper.

228
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.600
But I'm not sure that's a huge, huge growth area for these companies.

229
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.000
Yeah, do we have a timeline
for when they might make this final decision.

230
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:26.159
It seems like they want to do
it pretty quickly because I think the

231
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.559
pandemic is sort of wearing off,
and I think, you know, they

232
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.320
said it was down. The share
of rides affected by surge pricing was down

233
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:40.080
thirty five percent from the first quarter, So you're talking that's a pretty sizeable

234
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.519
drop, And it seems like they
can get this eliminated pretty quickly. But

235
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.240
I don't know. The drivers might
not like it because they of course make

236
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.799
more money. Well, we'll have
to wait and see. So Google is

237
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.799
making Android phones more like the iPhone. Yeah, this is This is a

238
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.600
big thing because you know, obviously
here in the US, I message is

239
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:06.200
king. It is the number you
know, maybe not the number one way,

240
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:11.200
but it is the way that people
communicate over text, and so there's

241
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.839
a lot of benefits to it.
It's very private. You could send big

242
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.400
video files and big pictures and high
resolution and people think of Android, you

243
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:22.759
know, when you get that green
bubble, it doesn't work as well.

244
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:27.599
Now, Google has been making strides
between Android to Android phones with something called

245
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:33.440
RCS, which is pretty much,
very very similar to I Message except for

246
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.720
Androids. And so now they announced
that number one, this is going to

247
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.160
be unable to buy default for all
users. So this was something that you

248
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.359
previously had to turn on, which
is kind of a pain. And now

249
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:48.200
it's going to be end to end
encrypted, and so that means that it's

250
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.319
just as secure as I Message,
which means nobody else, not even Google

251
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.880
themselves or your cell phone company,
would be able to read your texts.

252
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.440
So why is this all important?
Well, this is all great, but

253
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.839
here's a thing. This only matters
if you're going Android to Android, iPhone

254
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.000
to iPhone. What we truly need
here in the US is a way for

255
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.400
these two systems to work across iPhone
and Android, and I'll be honest,

256
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:17.000
it's Apple that's holding that up.
They do not want to. RCS standard

257
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:21.240
is the standard that is across the
world. Apple has so far not implemented

258
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:23.759
it in its iPhone. Why not
because they know if they do a cross

259
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:29.160
messaging solution that works really well,
people would be more apt to drop the

260
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.400
iPhone and maybe check out Android.
And traditionally Apple kind of doesn't like to

261
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.440
play in the sandbox with others.
Oh you, how do you? Oh

262
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.599
wow, maybe you should be a
tech reporter because I'm glad that you know

263
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:45.119
that, just you know, from
yeah, casually observing. So absolutely,

264
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.920
one hundred percent. Apple likes to
do their own thing. And the reason

265
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.720
why it works is because Apple's been
very very successful in making their own proprietary

266
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.119
stuff and having lots of customers to
use it, and so far it's not

267
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:02.359
been a problem, whereas other companies
like Samsung and Google are very much working

268
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:07.440
on open source standards or at least
open standards that work across all devices across

269
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.039
a variety of manufacturers. Okay,
so this is good news if you already

270
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.279
have an Android, but if you
are just working on regular communication between the

271
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.240
two doesn't really make a difference.
Yeah, we're still waiting for that.

272
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.119
That will be a big turning point. Okay, I'm excited about this thing

273
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.000
because I just saw that there.
LG is coming out with a wireless TV.

274
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.960
Yeah, which is nice, but
when you hear the price, you

275
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:36.279
might put your card back in your
pocket. Ninety seven inch OLED TV.

276
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.920
This is called zero Connect technology.
So this is a TV we first saw

277
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:45.920
at CS earlier this year. It's
a signature Old M which means and LG

278
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.640
is known for having the best o
led TVs in the world, so these

279
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:55.440
are really really nice ninety seven inch
TV. This is going to cost a

280
00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:00.759
whopping thirty thousand dollars. Okay,
never mind. So here's how it works.

281
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.680
You put the TV, you hang
it anywhere. Now there is a

282
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.960
plug, which I find comical about
all this. So it's a wireless TV,

283
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.240
but you still have to plug it
in obviously. But you put this

284
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:14.039
little box anywhere in your living room, so you can put it in the

285
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:15.759
corner, you can put it in
a closet whatever you want, and then

286
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:21.400
you can put all your cable box
and stuff there and then it wirelessly transmits

287
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:26.160
the video and audio to the screen
at a pretty high quality four K one

288
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.200
hundred and twenty hurts, which is
very high end. And so that means

289
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:30.519
that you know, you don't have
cables hanging off the back of the TV,

290
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.680
and you don't need to you know, put him through the back of

291
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.519
the wall whatever. But again you
still need to plug this thing in.

292
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:40.160
Well that sort of defeats the purpose. But I was excited about it because

293
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.440
I just recently I'd be very proud
of me rich, because tech is not

294
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:48.680
my thing. I got a bigger
TV and mounted it on the wall yourself.

295
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.920
Well I had help? Oh okay, well, like I mean like

296
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.960
professional or did you like actually help
hang it? Oh? I helped hang

297
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:57.720
it. Oh very good. I
love that. My brother came over.

298
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:02.720
We got the we got that swinging
arm so it can swing out into the

299
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.039
room and stuff and it hasn't fallen
yet. Yes, that's I did this

300
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:10.200
in my now. The TV I
installed was only like a thirty two inch

301
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:12.319
or something. I started small.
It was for like an office. But

302
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.559
I was so I mean, I'm
sure you had the same experience where you

303
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.039
probably woke up in the morning and
you check the TV to make sure it

304
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.599
was still on the wall. Oh, I still check it because I didn't

305
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.720
do a thirty two Rich, I
did a fifty five inch TV. Nice.

306
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:29.000
Well, once you get it in
the stud you know, once it's

307
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.880
drilled in there, it's like it's
pretty much like. I was impressed that

308
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.680
I was able to do this.
But yes, I've had other ones professionally

309
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.720
hung and it is a nice feeling
if you could do it yourself. But

310
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.359
the beauty and congratulations for doing it. The beauty of this wireless TV.

311
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.000
I know it's expensive, it will
be coming down in price and wireless TVs

312
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:51.000
will be a thing in the future, which will be nice for all of

313
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:55.759
us. Absolutely, thank you so
much, Rich, appreciate all your information.

314
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:59.240
And I'm gonna wait till the prices
come down just a little bit,

315
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:03.599
all right, trapping me amy?
Okay, that's uh KTLA's tech reporter Rich

316
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.319
DeMuro, host of Rich on Tech
here on KFI Saturdays from eleven to two.

317
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.839
You can follow Rich on Instagram at
rich on Tech. His website is

318
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.240
rich on tech dot. TV has
come into the economy because of her concerts,

319
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.519
you know, and before she does
she do anything wrong, I mean,

320
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.279
she's giving her truck drivers all this
one hundred thousand dollars easion they're going

321
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.839
on or whatever it is, and
her millions being spent for her backup dancers

322
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.960
and the crew. She's sharing the
wealth. Does she do well? I

323
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.480
wouldn't want to be her boyfriend because
I wouldn't want to date her. No,

324
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:40.960
No, but she's amazing, absolutely
absolutely so. Jane Wells, thank

325
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:42.640
you so much for your time this
morning. A If you want to check

326
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:48.519
out Jane Wells, she has a
substack, it's Jane Wells dot substack dot

327
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.200
com and we'll talk to you next
week. Great, all right, take

328
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:52.720
care, all right, thank you. Let's say good morning now to a

329
00:22:52.839 --> 00:23:00.000
VC's Mike Debuski. Cadillac is unveiling
a brand new electric escalade MIC that may

330
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.960
not be able to leave New York
City. Yeah, that's right, Amy.

331
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.200
So Cadillac, yes, as you
mentioned, is unveiling it's brand new,

332
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:11.720
an all electric version of the Escalade
here in Manhattan later today, in

333
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.839
just about an hour or so,
I'm going to head down there. And

334
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.759
this is an escalade and if you
know what that means, you mean,

335
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.319
it means it's big, it's full
of luxury, appointments and features, and

336
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:27.319
it's kind of brash. It stands
out from a styling perspective. And the

337
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:32.000
all electric version, again, it
hasn't debuted yet, but we can kind

338
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.839
of make some assumptions based on GM's
strategy with electric vehicles in the past.

339
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:40.519
We expect this to run on GM's
ultium battery technology, which is their branding

340
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:45.359
for their modular electric vehicle architecture.
Essentially, they can make small versions of

341
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.160
this platform to underpin entry level electric
vehicles like the Chevy Equinox and the Chevy

342
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.279
Blazer. If you saw Barbie,
there's a Chevy Blazer in that movie,

343
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.799
and it could also underpin bigger things
like this escalade, the three hundred thousand

344
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:03.759
dollars Cadillac limousine called the Celeste,
and the GMC Hummer EV. GMC resurrected

345
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.079
the Hummer name a few years ago, and that truck, amy I think

346
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:12.200
is actually kind of the closest analog
we have to this new electric escalade.

347
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:18.240
The thing about the Hummer EV it
runs on an eight hundred volt charging architecture,

348
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.799
which is a very big battery.
That means we are expecting this thing

349
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:26.440
to have a pretty big range.
North of four hundred miles possibly, and

350
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.839
that does come at a cost though. Nine thousand pounds is how much the

351
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.079
Hummer EV ways you can imagine with
this Cadillac and all its luxury features and

352
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.480
appointments and that sort of thing,
it's going to come in somewhere around there.

353
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.680
And a fun fact, just to
kind of New York City local history

354
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.920
fact, the Brooklyn Bridge which connects
Brooklyn to Lower Manhattan where this truck is

355
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:49.759
being unveiled. The max weight limit
per car on that bridge three tons six

356
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.480
thousand pounds. So technically speaking,
if you live in Brooklyn and you work

357
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.559
in Lower Manhattan, you can't take
an escalade over the Brooklyn Bridge. It

358
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.680
doesn't work. Nobody has a car
in New York anyway. Well, you'd

359
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.759
be surprised, I would say,
as a cyclist there are more people with

360
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.000
cars than you would expect. But
yeah, no, you're right, and

361
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.119
to be fair to g and there
are other bridges in other ways to get

362
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.440
into work. But I think it
does kind of underscore something that we're learning

363
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:18.640
about this new kind of Cambrian explosion
of evs for manufacturers is that these things

364
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.480
are pretty heavy. We're trying to
figure out exactly how these things fit into

365
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.759
our lives. One of those things
is is the weight, and that affects

366
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.119
things like efficiency. It also affects
things like our infrastructure, our roads.

367
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.799
These things are pretty heavy. You
know what else it affects is the tires,

368
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.759
because they're so heavy. You can't
just go buy a seventy five or

369
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.759
hundred dollars tire. I have a
friend who had who has a Tesla,

370
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.319
and he was like, oh,
yeah, I've just spent eight hundred dollars

371
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.119
a tire or something crazy. I
don't remember the exact amount, but the

372
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.240
tires are really expensive because you need
like industrial strength tires because those batteries weigh

373
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.799
them down so much. Absolutely.
I think that's that's one of the costs

374
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.480
that we're going to have to take
into consideration as we make this transition over

375
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.839
to electric power. Another one I
think that is interesting to talk about is

376
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.680
efficiency. We kind of just maybe
think of electric vehicles as like, oh,

377
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:10.319
they're electric, they're good for the
environment, they're efficient. You know,

378
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:12.680
they go so and so amount of
range, and that's enough. But

379
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:17.720
if you think about the size of
the battery versus how far you can go,

380
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:21.759
well, this is an eight hundred
volt battery that goes we're thinking four

381
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.759
hundred miles, maybe a little bit
more. That's maybe not as much as

382
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:27.440
it could go if it wasn't so
heavy. If this thing was lighter,

383
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:32.559
it would not have as much stuff
to propel, and therefore it could be

384
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.000
be a little bit more efficient on
range. Again, another one of those

385
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:41.200
considerations as we make this huge shift
and propulsion in the automotive world, how

386
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:44.599
long does it take to charge that
monster battery? Again, we don't know

387
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:48.000
specifically, but you know, electric
vehicle batteries they're not like gas tanks.

388
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.240
I think that's maybe not the greatest
comparison because when you fill up a gas

389
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:53.559
tank, it's linear, right,
you know, you go from empty to

390
00:26:53.599 --> 00:27:00.119
full and then you move on.
With batteries, it takes like longer to

391
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.519
fill up the edges of the tank, if you will. In other words,

392
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.480
it's much faster to charge your car
from ten or twenty percent charge up

393
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.119
to eighty percent charge than it is
to charge it from eighty percent to one

394
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.559
hundred percent charge. So there's that
middle section that is kind of where you

395
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.160
get the vast majority of your charging
done. At the top end. You

396
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.720
know, some of the most sophisticated
evs on the market can do that ten

397
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.200
to twenty to eighty percent charge in
something like twenty to twenty five minutes,

398
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:30.559
which is very good. It's still
longer than it would take you to fill

399
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:32.880
up at a gas tank, but
you know, even still like that,

400
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:36.079
time has come down pretty significantly in
recent years, and you can expect it

401
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.440
to get better in the years to
come. But again, it's just one

402
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.640
of the many different ways that we're
changing our relationship to the car as we

403
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.400
make this transition. Yeah, and
with the with the batteries being so heavy

404
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:51.559
and you are they working on technology
to make them lighter. Now, that's

405
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.720
that's another kind of interesting question.
We haven't really seen a lightweight EV out

406
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:02.240
there, with one exception. So
there's a fish automaker called Caterum, and

407
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:04.960
they're a niche automaker. They make
very small sports cars, kind of lightweight

408
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.759
weight, track focused vehicles, and
they're they're kind of neat looking. They

409
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:11.640
look like they're straight out of the
nineteen sixties and they have like, you

410
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:15.880
know, roundel numbers on them and
they look like stripes and all this kind

411
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:18.160
of stuff. It's very interesting from
a you know, car guy perspective to

412
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:23.640
look at that company recently showed off
a lightweight EV. It's just a concept

413
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.480
car, it's just a prototype at
this point, but that's kind of the

414
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:32.319
first time we've seen an automaker,
albeit a small one, really experiment with

415
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:36.319
sort of the lighter end of EV
propulsion. And you know, again,

416
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.119
I just think it's a really interesting
time to be into cars because on the

417
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:44.200
one hand, you know, the
automakers that you are putting out gas powered

418
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:48.200
cars now, they're kind of the
last generation of gas powered cars, given

419
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.799
how long it takes to develop new
vehicles, so their runout specials we're seeing,

420
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.559
you know, on the other end
of GM's you know, Cadillac portfolio,

421
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.440
there's the Escalade V, which is
a six hundred and eighty two power

422
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.200
supercharged V eight, you know,
full size suv, this huge, kind

423
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.480
of crazy muscle truck of an suv
that is not particularly great on guests,

424
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.799
and it's very loud, and it's
very fast and all this, you know,

425
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:12.079
kind of exciting stuff. But on
the other side, we're making this

426
00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:18.039
huge transition over to an entirely new
form of propulsion. So yeah, it's

427
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:21.279
really just interesting to see what people
are doing with it again. Lightweight is

428
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:25.160
I think going to be one of
the next big conversations we have, you

429
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:26.519
know as we do this. Okay, two quick questions because I know we

430
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.759
got to run. Uh. You
said that this new ev, the new

431
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:33.720
escalator is going to be nine thousand
pounds. What's a normal car? Wait,

432
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:38.000
depends on what we're talking about.
I don't have the gas powered escalate

433
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.920
in front of me. But you
know, again this is just to be

434
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.359
fair to general motors. There are
plenty of cars that don't that are not

435
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.440
technically able to cross the Brooklyn Bridge
with its three son weight limit. But

436
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.759
we're talking like full size trucks and
pickup trucks and SUVs and that sort of

437
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:57.079
thing. Nine thousand pounds is very
heavy, right, That's on the top

438
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:00.680
end of kind of what we've seen
in the past. Mostly, you know,

439
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.039
if you're talking about your your Toyota
Camrays, you know, your your

440
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:07.599
Honda Chords, maybe your Honda Pilots
trucks, that sort of thing. We're

441
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.519
talking you know, two tons,
you know, four thousand pounds if not

442
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.799
a little bit more than that.
So you know, just as a point

443
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:17.440
of comparison, But again, you
know, I don't want to directly compare

444
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:19.519
like a camera to an escalade,
because it's kind of a different thing,

445
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:22.799
but you know it just as a
point of sort of reference there. Okay,

446
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.920
cool, Well, you I know
you gotta run because you gotta go

447
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:30.640
and see that brand new sparkly car. So have fun at the unveiling and
