This is your wake up Call for Tuesday, July second. 4 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.839 I'm Heather Brooker in for Amy King. Good morning everyone. We're so 5 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.679 glad you're here with us today and is here to help us along, and 6 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.960 Kono is here as well, and we have some great stories planned for you 7 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.520 today as in depth interviews. So let's just get right to it, Shally, 8 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.520 here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. A blockbuster decision by the Supreme 9 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:46.439 Court is raising questions about what happens next for former President Donald Trump. We'll 10 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.640 dive into what this means for his criminal cases. And a new bill aims 11 00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.640 to fight deep fake porn. We'll talk about what that is and how it 12 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.119 could affect you. The Safe Plan is back in business. We'll talk about 13 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.399 what that means for your student debt and what it doesn't mean as well. 14 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.040 Then at six ZHO five, it's handle on the news. Israel has new 15 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:12.920 evacuation orders for southern Gaza. We'll talk about why that means hospital patients are 16 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:17.840 now being transferred. But let's start with some of the stories coming out of 17 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:22.040 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. La has made it a whole lot cheaper 18 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.799 to be a street vendor. The city to criminalize street vending several years ago, 19 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.040 but a permit was hundreds of dollars. City council Woman Nippia Ramin says 20 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.879 that was too much, but the financial costs alone were still enough to prevent 21 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.000 vendors from operating legally, and that changes today, which is really exciting. 22 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.400 The city council on Friday voted to lower the permit fee from five hundred and 23 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.480 forty one dollars to just twenty seven dollars and fifty one cent. Supporter said 24 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.640 the change would bring illegal vendors quote out of the shadows and into the formal 25 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.840 local economy in downtown La. Michael Monks KFI News. Excessive heat warnings have 26 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.239 been issued for parts of La County as the temperatures continue to soar. A 27 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:04.400 warning for the five and fourteen freeway corridors, the western San Gabriel Mountains, 28 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.560 the Analope Valley Foothills, and the Antelope Valley begins at eleven o'clock today and 29 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.879 continues through six o'clock next Monday. The National Weather Service says temperatures in the 30 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.199 warning area could reach as high as one hundred and fifteen degrees. An excessive 31 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.400 heat warning for the Santa Clarita Valley, the Santa Monica Mountains, Recreational Area, 32 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.560 Calabasas, the San Fernando Valley, and the eastern San Gabriel Mountains will 33 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:35.039 take effect tomorrow. Lakewood could lose its Equestrian Center because it's saddled with six 34 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:40.639 million dollars in repairs unless it becomes financially stable. Horse border Alexa Roddel says 35 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.960 the eighty year old center has until the end of next month to reduce its 36 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.319 size or more than one hundred horses could become homeless, or if somebody could 37 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.639 come in and take over running the equestrian center to release the city from doing 38 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.960 so and also provide funding necessary to me those capital improvements. Rodell says many 39 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.159 horse owners would have to consider euthanasia because there are not many buyers for horses, 40 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.719 which already have no place to go. The city council gave the center 41 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.879 until the end of next month to find a solution. Airbnb is cracking down 42 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.400 on parties in their rentals ahead of fourth of July. The vacation rental company 43 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.439 says three hundred million guests arrivals are expected this year for the holidays. The 44 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.840 company says if guests break the no party rules, they're subject to suspension or 45 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.360 removal from Airbnb. Neighbors of the rental properties can call a twenty four hour 46 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.919 neighborhood Support line to report disturbances. A second ballot initiative to reform Prop forty 47 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.599 seven is said to be voted on this week in the California legislature. The 48 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.960 measure will compete with another measure that would overturn Prop forty seven. Former Assemblyman 49 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:52.439 Mike Gatto says he doesn't think voters will support the latest move out of the 50 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:57.400 legislature. Sometimes I think Sacramento thinks that voters are stupid. But the reality 51 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.439 is that people are watching this. They're watching this very closely, Gotto says. 52 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:06.199 Other Gotto and others say the new measure doesn't do enough to address crime. 53 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:12.479 Supporters say it will fight fentanyl and retail crime without going back to draconian 54 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.480 policies in the past. The Supreme Court's ruling that former President Donald Trump is 55 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:21.800 presumptively immune from criminal prosecution for official acts is likely to have a big ripple 56 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:29.160 effect on each of the former presidents for criminal cases. ABC's Peter Haralamboos joins 57 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.319 US Live from New York with more. Good morning, Peter, Good morning, 58 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.079 Thanks for having me. All right, So, what will likely be 59 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:42.000 the first impact that we see after the decision on Trump's criminal cases? Yeah, 60 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.079 we've surprisingly already seen the first impact last night here in New York, 61 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.279 former President Donald Trump moved to overturn his conviction in his New York criminal case. 62 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.920 His lawyers are arguing here that the jury in the case saw evidence that 63 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.720 should have been limited by this idea of presidential immunity, and because of that 64 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.639 which has already been done, the conviction itself can't stand. It's also likely 65 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.600 that we see the former president moveford laid down in his Florida case, and 66 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:13.240 of course we might see a fundamental reshaping of that case in d C now 67 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.800 that the former president lawyers have this decision from the Supreme Court really limiting what 68 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.759 cannon can't be prosecuted. Yeah, that was one of my next questions is 69 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.800 how is this going to affect those cases in Florida and Georgia. Yeah, 70 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.199 so I think we're most likely to see the immediate impact in DC, but 71 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.079 in Georgia and Florida, the real long term implact is kind of endless delays. 72 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.879 So the Florida case and the Floyd case, Trump's lawyers have already argued 73 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:45.399 that the former president should be immune from prosecution because they argue the former president 74 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:53.480 classified those secret documents as personal while he was still in office. Judge Eileen 75 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.480 Cannon, who overceived that case, hasn't made a ruling on the matter, 76 00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.720 but it's now likely to set some hearings or more seriously considered. And while 77 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.639 the experts I've spoken to you suggest that that argument might not necessarily succeed in 78 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.920 dismissing the case, will certainly result in delays. The same kind of impact 79 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.120 will likely be seen in Georgia, of course, delays once the case gets 80 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.120 handed back to Judge Scott McAfee. And it's also possible we see a real 81 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.720 slimming down of the Georgia case because the former president can argue that a lot 82 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:25.839 of the conduct alleged there were actually official acts that should be protected by this 83 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.240 idea of presidential immunity. So I know we talked a little bit about you 84 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.399 the more immediate impact on the election interference case. I also understand that Trump 85 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:42.759 is and his team have asked for the sentencing to be pushed back for next 86 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.439 week. And is that I'm assuming is a direct result of what's happened with 87 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.879 the Supreme Court. Yeah, that's one hundred percent right. So, given 88 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:57.199 the Supreme Court's landmark ruling yesterday, Trump's team filed that letter last night asking 89 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.680 to kind of toss that conviction. And because they're now raising this new argument 90 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.199 directly related to the Supreme Court, they don't think that July eleventh sentencing should 91 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:10.519 really stay and stick at that current date. It's four days ahead of the 92 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.199 RNC, so there are already some issues about the timing of it, and 93 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.920 the Supreme Court decision has really given them an opening to push that sentencing and 94 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.279 get a further delay. We'll likely get a response from prosecutors sometime today, 95 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.959 and the decision is in now in the hands of Judge Hwan Merschan, who 96 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.279 will likely have to make a pretty quick decision given how close we now are 97 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:38.879 to that sentencing. So what happens next is his legal team right now scrambling 98 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.480 to see what they can get removed in terms of any charges or cases or 99 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.120 anything like that. His I'm sure his team is working over time to get 100 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:51.160 a lot of that removed as much as possible. Yeah, I think you're 101 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.839 one hundred percent right about his team working overtime. At this point, it's 102 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.759 basically a feeding frenzy. With the Supreme Court decision, it basically has an 103 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.839 apt implication on every single one of these cases. The most immediate one is 104 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.199 New York given how close the sentencing is, while the Florida and Georgia cases 105 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.040 are kind of long term delayed already. I would expect that the next area 106 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.000 we're going to see some focuses this DC case over the next months. Just 107 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.759 Tanya Chukkin's going to have to make a decision about what can and can't stand 108 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.360 in the indictment, and it's possible that Jack Smith team considers refiling a new 109 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.040 indictments kind of slim down the case, make it more likely to withstand the 110 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.679 scrutiny of the Supreme Court decision. I would expect the flurry of activity in 111 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.120 that case after it's kind of been frozen for the last six months. Yes, 112 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.759 well, it looks like we're going to have I think we're going to 113 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.480 be covering this almost daily now, just to see all the new developments that 114 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.120 are coming out over the next several months. So, Peter, thank you 115 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.919 so much. I appreciate your time. Thanks so much for having me. 116 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.399 All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 117 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.320 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Closing arguments have started in Orange County in the 118 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:03.080 trial over a gay Jewish man murdered in Lake Forest, brutally murdered and buried 119 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.600 within an hour and a half. Prosecuter Jennifer Walker says Sam Woodward stabb Blaze 120 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.320 Bernstein twenty eight times in twenty eighteen because Bernstein was gay, he already had 121 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:15.200 his bags and he thought he was going to get away with it. Defense 122 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.080 attorney Ken Morrison says this is not a hate crime. It's about Woodward's social 123 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:24.799 isolation and autism, like millions of adolescents privately struggling with his own sexuality. 124 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.039 First degree murder could mean life in prison, while voluntary manslaughter means Woodward could 125 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:33.440 get out someday at OC Superior Court. Corbin Carson kf I News and excessive 126 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.639 heat warning has been issued for Riverside County because of triple digit temperatures. The 127 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:43.039 heat warning is in effect until at least nine o'clock for Palm Springs, Coachella, 128 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.759 Palm Desert, Lakina Cathedral City, banning Desert Hot Springs, and Indio. 129 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.679 Temperatures in those area are expected to range from one hundred and fifteen to 130 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.480 one hundred and twenty two degrees. The La City Council's Energy Committee is looking 131 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:03.120 into whether to ban synthetic turf. Emotion says materials used to produce it are 132 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.879 harmful to the environment. Sean Garritty, the former chairman of the Synthetic Turf 133 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:13.440 Council, says artificial grass has benefits. Synthetic turf very importantly provides more equitable 134 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.279 access to recreation space across communities of all income levels. There's less upkeep, 135 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:24.080 lower maintenance costs, and it provides a safe, consistent playing surface. California 136 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.639 has allowed cities to ban synthetic turf since last year. Two cities have done 137 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.279 so so far. A fifty thousand dollars reward has been offered to help the 138 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.360 Laped solve the fatal shooting of a man in Boil Heights. The shooting happened 139 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:41.039 June thirteenth, near Washington Boulevard and Grande Vista Avenue. Noah Martinez died at 140 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.000 the scene. The reward is for information leading to the identity, arrest, 141 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:52.000 and prosecution of the persons responsible. The TSA warrants passengers who are set to 142 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.960 travel by air this week to be prepared for longer wait times and crowded airports 143 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.039 as they prepare to screen a record number of passengers. ABC's Trevor Alt is 144 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:07.159 at the Newark Airport with more on this record setting travel season. This comes 145 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.039 on the heels of weeks of what's already been record setting travel, as we 146 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.399 are just now getting into the busiest stretch so far. And TSA says it's 147 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.360 expecting to screen twenty eight million people for the fourth of July window. That's 148 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.759 from this past Friday through next Monday, July eighth. That's a five and 149 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:26.840 a half percent increase from last year. This comes on the heels of weeks 150 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.399 of what's already been record setting travel, as we are just now getting into 151 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.600 the busiest stretch so far. The TSA says it's expecting to screen twenty eight 152 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:39.039 million people for the fourth of July window. That's from this past Friday through 153 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.360 next Monday, July eighth. That's a five and a half percent increase from 154 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:48.120 last year. Hurricane Burrow has strengthened into a Category five hurricane as it moves 155 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.440 through the windward islands across the Caribbean. The National Weather Service says the storm 156 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.600 has wins up to one hundred and sixty miles per hour and is moving northwest 157 00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.080 at about twenty miles an hour. Forecaster say Burrell is expected to remain extremely 158 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:07.039 dangerous, with hurricane conditions possible in Jamaica tomorrow. At Israeli, airstrike has 159 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.919 killed at least nine people in the southern Gaza city of Conunis. The overnight 160 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.360 strike hit a home near the European Hospital, which is inside the zone Israel 161 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.279 said should be evacuated. The UN Agency for Palestinian Refugee says about two hundred 162 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.320 and fifty thousand people are in the evacuation zone. The La City Council is 163 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:30.639 expected to consider a proposal to modernize and expand the downtown convention Center in preparation 164 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.279 for the twenty twenty eight Olympics. Council members will vote on whether to spend 165 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.399 up to fifty four point four million dollars for pre construction work on the facility, 166 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:43.480 and the California National Guard has seized an estimated seven million pills containing fentanyl 167 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.200 in just the first six months of the year. And President Biden has warned 168 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:52.320 that the new Supreme Court ruling granting President's broad immunity for prosecution would make an 169 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.399 unchecked Republican Donald Trump more emboldened to do whatever he wants if he regains the 170 00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.080 White House in November than at six five. I have it's handle on the 171 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.000 news. After yesterday Supreme Court ruling, Donald Trump is now pushing to have 172 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.080 his sentencing set aside in this hush money case. We'll talk about what his 173 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.600 lawyers are doing to try to make that happen right now. And new survey 174 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.159 has found that Americans are spending too much on their monthly phone bill. Joel 175 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.759 Larsgard joins us now to talk about ways you can save Good morning, Joel, 176 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.120 Good morning, Heather. I am really excited to talk with you because, 177 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.039 to be fair, I mean to be honest, finance is my weak 178 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.879 spot in life. So anything related to saving money, I want to soak 179 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.200 it all in, all right, that's what I'm here for. Okay, 180 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.240 excellent, all right, So let's talk about this new survey that's come out. 181 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.320 Let's talk about overspending on our cell phone bills. How much are we 182 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.799 overspending? So I do this all the time, right, I'm always thinking 183 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.960 about money and helping people figure out their money. And I was shocked to 184 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.480 see just how much people are spending on their cell phone bill. Whistle Out, 185 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.679 which is this website that really helps document the bestell phone plans, the 186 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:05.240 cheapest cell phone plans, and the best Internet all that kind of stuff, 187 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:11.720 they found that the average American currently spends a shocking stat one hundred and fifty 188 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:15.759 seven dollars a month on their cell phone plan if they're with one of the 189 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:22.840 major carriers. And they've basically talked about how inflation and rising costs of self 190 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:28.200 service has caused people to not be able to afford their cell phone bill. 191 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.320 And from where I'm sitting over here, I've seen the opposite thing happen when 192 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.600 it comes to cell phone service. I've seen people get more for less, 193 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.480 and so I'm shocked. And the only way that this makes sense is if 194 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.240 you're staying with one of the major carriers, and a lot of people are 195 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.279 learning they're going to some of these smaller carriers that what are known as m 196 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.279 v and o's Mobile Virtual network operators, and so these smaller cell phone companies 197 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.759 they operate on the towers of the big guys. It's not like it's inferior 198 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.960 service. You're still getting Verizon or T Mobile service, but you're just paying 199 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.159 a whole lot less. And so yeah, if you're paying, if you're 200 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.840 if you're paying anywhere north of one hundred bucks a month, you could stand 201 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.039 to save a substantial amount of money every single month in perpetuity. Okay, 202 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.720 I'm embarrassed to say I am one of those people. Okay, but I 203 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.840 obviously help. Okay, good, I see we have like we have the 204 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.279 unlimited plan, and you know, I feel, like you said, there 205 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.519 is sort of a stigma with the smaller cell phone companies where I'm like, 206 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.720 am I going to get as good of a service because I am with one 207 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:31.200 of the bigger companies. So that's something I definitely want to check into. 208 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.080 So we're not compromising quality, then necessarily we're just going to be saving a 209 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.159 little money exactly exactly, And so I want people to look into. You 210 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.840 can go to a website like whistleout dot com, or you can there's We've 211 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.279 got some articles on our website how to money dot com on which cell phone 212 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.600 services? Which of these less expensive cell phone services are going to be the 213 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.240 best for you. But I'll name a few real quick. I really like 214 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.320 Mint Mobile and I'm on the fifteen dollars a month plan. You get five 215 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:02.440 gigs of Internet, you get unlimited talking text, and it's runs on t 216 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:06.639 mobiles towers. And then there's another one that's just on my radar. US 217 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:08.600 Mobile is becoming one of the biggest NB and os out there. And so 218 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.080 if you're like, sorry, Joel, five gigs isn't enough for me, 219 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:17.039 I need the unlimited plan. Well, US Mobile has an unlimited plan for 220 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:21.879 seventeen dollars and fifty cents a month, and so you prepay for the year. 221 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:23.759 You're not in a contract, but you do prepay. But when you 222 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.840 prepay for the year, that's when the savings roll in. So instead of 223 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.039 going month to month, the idea is just to pay for your cell phone 224 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:34.200 and one big, one big chunk, and then you have unlimited data. 225 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.919 You've got some hotspot, you've got unlimited talking text of course as well. 226 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.240 And so those are a couple of my favorites, but there are more out 227 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.360 there. There's there's Visible, which runs on Verizon's backbone and you get unlimited 228 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.159 for twenty five dollars a month with them. There's a lot that you can 229 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.519 look into. But especially this is one of those things where my favorite thing 230 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:57.039 to do is make one choice that's a little different and save money every single 231 00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:02.320 month from here on out. It's not like it's this thing, and especially 232 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.319 when it means that you're not really trading off very much because again, like 233 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.279 we said, the service pretty great on these things. Yeah, I think 234 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.920 it might be just the fear of something new or change. But I want 235 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.799 to Ryan remind everybody quickly. If you didn't have time to grab a pin, 236 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.160 you can listen to this back on the iHeartRadio app and our podcast when 237 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.880 it's up later today. Make all those notes, write everything down. Those 238 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:26.279 are great suggestions for different cell phone company options. Are I want to switch 239 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.599 gears just a little bit before we have to let you go. So a 240 00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.440 federal appeals appeals court says it will allow a key part of President Biden's student 241 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:40.440 loan relief plan to resume as the legal challenges against it unfold. So that 242 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.359 means we have the Save Plan is our only option right now. If you're 243 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.000 looking to pay down those student loans, what can you tell us about the 244 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.359 Save Plan? Sure? So, the Safe Plan has been after student loan 245 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.960 forgiveness was shut down by the Supreme Court, and the Save Plan has been 246 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:02.400 like all the eggs in this basket to try to help student loan borrowers reduce 247 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:07.079 their payments and see loan forgiveness on a shorter timeline. And the Safe Plan 248 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:14.720 is incredibly generous and ultimately will allow a whole lot of folks, especially lower 249 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.359 income folks or folks with bigger families and they don't make a ton of money, 250 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.319 will allow them to see a much greatly diminished monthly bill for their student 251 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.079 loans. Or a lot of people, millions of people are going to see 252 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.759 a monthly bill of zero and that. And still even if you're paying zero 253 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.240 dollars a month forward your student loans, you might find that you're able to 254 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:38.599 bach forgiveness within ten years. But this has been in the courts because a 255 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.799 bunch of states said, you know what, we don't love this plan, 256 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.039 and we actually don't think the President has the authority, the President and the 257 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.720 Department of Education to implement the plan as constituted, and so that's what's going 258 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.839 on. There was one ruling last week and then there was another ruling on 259 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.880 Sunday, and so the Safe Plan has kind of been in this legal limbo. 260 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:03.119 Is how it's going to shake out in the coming weeks and months is 261 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.920 anybody's guest, But at least for right now, the Safe Plan is going 262 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:10.759 to move forward. In particular, you're going to see those reduced payments because 263 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.160 and that's the thing it's been on this kind of slow rollout timeline and the 264 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:21.799 low the payments they essentially reduced payments because of the new discretionary income rules. 265 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.039 Those were going to take place starting this month, and it looked like that 266 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:27.759 might not happen. But now it is going to happen. We are going 267 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:30.519 to see reduce payments, which is going to be a relief for a whole 268 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.119 lot of people. It's definitely was a relief for me. I got in 269 00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:40.039 and got my student loans paid for, so I was like, WHOA done 270 00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:42.960 with that? So we'll definitely be keeping an eye on the progress there with 271 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:48.119 the same plan and any other movements made there with them with President Biden's plan. 272 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.279 So it feels like it's been a bit of a seesaw, and I 273 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.839 know that people biting their nails. What's going to happen? Is this going 274 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:57.119 to stay put? For me? And I do think the Safe Plan in 275 00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:02.799 some form or fashion is going to stick around. The full forgiveness after ten 276 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:04.880 years, is that gonna Is that thing going to hang around? I don't 277 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:08.400 know. That might be the biggest challenge that's in place against the Safe Plan, 278 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.119 But at least for now, your payments are going to go down and 279 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.079 we'll see what happens next. All right, thank you so much, Joel. 280 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.279 You guys can listen to how to Money on Sundays right here on KFI 281 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.880 and then of course anywhere you listen on the iHeartRadio app, just tune into 282 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.000 how to Money. Thanks Joel, Thanks Heather. All Right, let's get 283 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:27.920 back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 284 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.079 The Lakewood Equestrian Center could shut down unless someone can rein in expenses and 285 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.079 raise six billion dollars for repairs. There's nowhere else that we can go. 286 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.319 Horse Border Alexa Rodell says if the city tears down the eighty year old Equestrian 287 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.440 Center, more than one hundred horses would be homeless. That really opens a 288 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.960 really sad conversation about what those owners would decide to do, whether or not 289 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.400 they would be able to rehome their horses or their horses would have to be 290 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.720 humanly euthanized. She just as people who grew up at the center and now 291 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.359 take their grandkids for writing lessons and to the petting zoo. But the city 292 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.759 says it's been losing money for years. The city council gave the center until 293 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:06.599 the end of next month to come up with a plan. In Lakewood, 294 00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:11.599 Corbin Carson KFI News, the LA City Council is expected to set up a 295 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:17.359 twenty five thousand dollars reward for information on the theft of eleven metal plaques ripped 296 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:21.359 from Woodland Hills Walk of Hearts, which honors teachers. The plaques were most 297 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:25.640 likely stolen by someone to sell them for scrap metal, and a judge has 298 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:30.640 sentenced a group of Antifa counter protesters to prison. The eleven defendants are heading 299 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:34.359 to prison for the counter protest to the so called Patriot march in Pacific Beach 300 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:40.599 in twenty twenty one, just days after the January sixth Capital Riot. And 301 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:45.839 an excessive heat warning has been issued for Riverside County because of triple digit temperatures. 302 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.880 We'll be keeping an eye on that throughout the week. Then at six 303 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.079 zh five, it's handle on the news. Airbnb will enforce an initiative to 304 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.359 limit disruptive parties on holiday weekends. Where to talk about what that means. 305 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.200 For the fourth of July and a FI P fifty, we are going to 306 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.920 dive into the take It Down law that aims to fight deep fake and revenge 307 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.039 porn. For now, let's get back to some of the stories coming out 308 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:12.599 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Prosecutors in Orange County have called for 309 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:17.359 a first degree murder conviction in the trial of a man charged with killing a 310 00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:22.400 gay Jewish man in Lake Forest. Prosecutor Jennifer Walker said during closing arguments that 311 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:29.960 Sam Woodward stabbed Blaze Berenstein twenty eight times in twenty eighteen because he was gay. 312 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:36.279 To dig a grave in that terrain and bury and clean up and murder 313 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:40.400 someone in an hour and a half, that is not something happened, and 314 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.640 I need to figure it out. That is determined. The defense has called 315 00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:48.599 for the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter, claiming the killing was motivated motivated by 316 00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:55.200 sexual confusion, social isolation, and autism diagnosis. The jury could get the 317 00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:59.319 case today or as soon as closing arguments wrap up in the nearly three month 318 00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:03.240 long trial. The US Supreme Court says former President Donald Trump is entitled to 319 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:08.279 some immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken overturn results of the twenty twenty election, 320 00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.319 but send the case back to the trial court to sort out which charges 321 00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:18.440 can stand. ABC Steven Portnoy joins US Live from Washington to talk about what 322 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.279 that means. Good morning, Stephen, Oh, good morning to you. 323 00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.559 So a lot of people are confused about why the Supreme Court's ruling means that 324 00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.759 now the lower courts will have to sort of sort all of this out. 325 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:32.079 Can you explain that a little bit more sure? I mean, the reason 326 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:34.920 is because the Supreme Court decided he didn't want to. It's as simple as 327 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:40.319 that. So now it goes back to the lower court and Judge Tanya Chutkin 328 00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:45.559 is going to have to figure out with some guidance from the Supreme Court's opinion 329 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.680 how to make this decision, what is official, what is unofficial? And 330 00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:56.559 the overarching principle that the Supreme Court put down in its opinion by Chief Justice 331 00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:03.440 Roberts is whether the Official Act touch on the powers and responsibilities and authorities of 332 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:08.079 the Executive branch, the branch itself, the Presidency itself, not Donald Trump 333 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:14.200 as a person, but what he does as an emblem of the presidency and 334 00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:18.799 the powers that he has. Now, the question becomes, what of the 335 00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:25.079 conversations that Donald Trump had with Mike Pence, the Vice president, with state 336 00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:29.680 officials in Georgia and other places. Was he acting as the head of the 337 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.119 executive branch to see to it that the laws are faithfully executed, or was 338 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.519 he acting as a candidate to advance his own personal interests to hold power. 339 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.759 Those are some of the arguments that will be made, and the decision will 340 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.319 first rest with Judge Chuckkin. But I can promise you that Donald Trump's attorneys, 341 00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.799 if they find that her ruling is unfavorable, will appeal it to the 342 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.519 d C. Circuit Court and ultimately to the Supreme Court. So this is 343 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.559 nowhere near over yet. Yeah, it looks like it's going to be a 344 00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.640 long road ahead. And let's talk about the vote that was split by the 345 00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:04.640 Supreme Court sixty three. What were the dissenters saying about this ruling. They 346 00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:10.119 had some pretty strong opinions. The liberal justices wrote in their dissent that what 347 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:14.119 the majority has done is they've transformed the office of the presidency, turning the 348 00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:17.759 person who holds that office into a king above the law, who can, 349 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:22.759 among other things, order the assassination of arrival, organize a coup, give 350 00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.839 out a pardon for a bribe. Chief Justice John Roberts says that all of 351 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.599 that is overblown, that what his opinion does is nowhere near that. But 352 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:37.720 instead it grants the sitting president absolute immunity for the conversations that he has within 353 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.960 his own executive branch, within his own White House, and with his subordinates 354 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:48.079 who run the agencies, and beyond that conveys the presumption of immunity for all 355 00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.359 his other official acts as president, a presumption which can be overcome if the 356 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.839 prosecutors have a good enough case. You know. The term King Trump and 357 00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:03.599 King Biden was trending for a little while yesterday over on X And it's been 358 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.960 interesting seeing how people are interpreting what has actually happened here. I've been trying 359 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:12.440 to explain it to my seventy eight almost eighty year old mother, and she 360 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:17.400 wants to know if Trump won, because he's been touting that this is a 361 00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.400 big win for him. Did he really win in this situation? Oh? 362 00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.960 Yes, yesterday was a big win for Donald Trump. The court found in 363 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.599 his favor, and in fact, the court went further than Trump's arguments, 364 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:32.599 his lawyer's arguments even even asked by granting that absolute immunity, which now covers 365 00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:37.000 any conversation, any action that the president might undertake within the executive branch. 366 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:40.359 Essentially, what the court says is, because the three branches of government are 367 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:45.920 separate, there are certain things that the executive branch should be able to do 368 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:52.599 that the Congress can't legislate against and that the courts can't dive into. And 369 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.359 that is something new, We've never seen it before. All Right, So 370 00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:02.279 what happens next for mister Trump. What's the next move? Well, among 371 00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:04.839 other things, they're now challenging his conviction in New York because of the argument 372 00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:10.400 that the Supreme Court opinion also touches on evidence as it relates to his official 373 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:12.440 acts of trying to say that, for example, the tweets that he put 374 00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:17.079 out about Michael Cohen having to do with the hush money payments and Michael Cohen 375 00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:19.039 and while he was president, should never been shown to the jury because those 376 00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:23.079 were official statements of the president. Well, that might not carry the day, 377 00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:26.720 but it's an argument they're making now to try to prevent Donald Trump from 378 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.319 being sentenced a week from Thursday in New York. We'll see how that plays 379 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.640 out. It's a whole lot of spaghetti. It's going to be thrown up 380 00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.480 at the wall. The first issue in the January sixth case goes back to 381 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.640 Judge Chutkin to begin to hear arguments from both sides over what is official, 382 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.160 what is unofficial, What should come out of the indictment, what can survive? 383 00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:47.240 Again, that will be healed, possibly all the way up to the 384 00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:51.480 Supreme Court and down in Georgia and Florida. You have two other cases going 385 00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:55.240 where similar arguments will surely be made. I like that There's going to be 386 00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:57.319 a lot of spaghetti thrown up against the wall. So we'll see what sticks. 387 00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.200 Thank you so much, Stephen, all right, let's get back to 388 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.599 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A 389 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.799 new poll has found seventy two percent of Americans say President Biden should not run 390 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:14.240 for reelection. More than one thousand people were surveyed by CBS News and you 391 00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:19.000 gov following last week's presidential debate. Forty six percent of Democrats said Biden should 392 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:23.559 not run again. The poll found Biden did outpace former President Trump when it 393 00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:29.480 came to telling the truth. Last Thursday, city leaders in Stillwater, Minnesota, 394 00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:33.640 have announced their postponing their annual July fourth fireworks celebration because of rising water 395 00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:38.200 levels in the Saint Croix River. This local says he understands the decision, 396 00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:42.200 but is still disappointed, sad. It's really disappointing that, you know, 397 00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:47.240 Mother nature is not cooperating with us this year. The mayor says the show 398 00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:49.960 isn't canceled, it will just be moved to another day. The park where 399 00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:55.319 the celebration was supposed to be held Thursday has flooded following record breaking rain. 400 00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.640 A soccer star is being investigated by the Union of European Foots Associations over a 401 00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:07.759 potentially offensive gesture made during the championship game. The organization says it appointed a 402 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:12.920 disciplinary inspector to look at whether England starred Jude Bellingham violated rules of basic conduct 403 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:15.960 in Sunday's game when he appeared to make a gesture with his hand towards his 404 00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:22.359 crotch. England went on to win against Slovakia. If Bellingham is charged in 405 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:26.920 a disciplinary case, he risks being suspended for the quarter finals Saturday against Switzerland. 406 00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:30.839 Sassive heat warnings have been issued for parts of Elli County as the temperatures 407 00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:36.799 continue to soar. Warning for the five and fourteen Freeway corridors, the western 408 00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:40.880 San Gabriel Mountains, the Annalope Valley Foothills, and the Antelope Valley begins at 409 00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:45.079 eleven o'clock this morning and continues through six o'clock next Monday. The National Weather 410 00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:48.480 Service says temperatures in the warning area could reach as high as one hundred and 411 00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.640 fifteen degrees. An excessive heat warning for the Santa Clarita Valley, the Santa 412 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:57.400 Monica Mountains Recreational Area, Calabasas, the San Fernando Valley, and the eastern 413 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:03.720 San Gabriel Mountains will take effect tomorrow. The La City Council is set to 414 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:07.920 consider a settlement with people forced out of their homes in South La by the 415 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:14.279 LAPD's botched detonation of illegal fireworks. That explosion three years ago damaged thirty five 416 00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:18.279 properties. The people impacted have been living in a hotel downtown. They said 417 00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:23.240 yesterday. They're uncertain about ever returning to their homes and are concerned about possibly 418 00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:29.799 getting evicted from their temporary housing. The settlement being considered today would cover ninety 419 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.400 percent of those at the hotel. Closing arguments will resume today in the trial 420 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:38.000 of the man charged with the hate crime fatal stabbing of a former gay classmate 421 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:42.839 in Footlan Foothills Ranch. Millions of travelers are out and about ahead of the 422 00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:47.640 fourth of July holiday. The TSA says it expects to screen over thirty million 423 00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:52.640 passengers through July eighth. And an Israeli airstrike has killed nine people in the 424 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.960 southern Gaza city of Conunis. The overnight strike hit home near the European Hospital, 425 00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:02.039 which is inside the zone Israel said should be evacuated. Then we're just 426 00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:06.519 minutes away from handle on the news this morning. Adjustable rate mortgage holders are 427 00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:08.920 about to get hit hard with higher monthly payments. We'll talk about what you 428 00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:14.319 can do to help ease the blow. The US Senate Commerce Committee is taking 429 00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:18.000 on the Take It Down Bill. Maybe sees. Jim Ryan joins US Live 430 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.200 to talk about the bill and what it means. Good morning, Jim. 431 00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.319 First, take it Down. It's actually an acronym. Believe it or not. 432 00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.920 To see, I'm gonna tell you what it means, tools to address 433 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:36.000 known exploitation by immobilizing technological deep fakes on websites and networks. Take it Down. 434 00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:38.759 That's a mouthful. Yeah, that's the Take It Down Act. Ed. 435 00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:44.480 Yes, Ranking Member Ted Cruz is a sponsor, so to is Ammy 436 00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:47.880 Klobachar, the Democrat from Minnesota. In fact, the committee that's looking at 437 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:52.759 this is evenly split, seven Democrats, seven Republicans, all co sponsors of 438 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.640 this legislation. A rare bit of bipartisanship in a place where you don't expect 439 00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.160 to see that happen very much. But yes, this this is intended to 440 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:06.440 target specifically, not just deep fake porn, but revenge porn, stuff that's 441 00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:10.000 posted online to get back at somebody. All right, so who is going 442 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.039 to be monitoring these videos well, you know, and overseeing making sure they 443 00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:20.480 actually are being taken off social media. That's a great point. Nobody's really 444 00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:22.920 sure who's going to do that, Heather, But that's the tough part of 445 00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:24.839 the job. And in fact, in many of the cases, one case 446 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:32.160 that Cruise was highlighting one seventeen year old whose picture was modified or whose images 447 00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:37.640 were put out there to make it look as though she was nude pictures posted 448 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:42.039 online. She didn't didn't realize it was out there at all until the police 449 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.400 came to her and said, hey, we received this from somebody on the 450 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:47.119 outside, and is this you? And she said, that's my face, 451 00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:52.039 that's not my body, and so yeah, who's going to be the one 452 00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.880 responsible for doing this? Well, there have to be a whole infrastructure to 453 00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:00.519 monitor websites. Of course, it's up you know, the social media supposed 454 00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:05.799 to be doing this itself, and so you know, may be left to 455 00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:10.000 is it the fox guarding the handhouse? Maybe maybe not, but certainly this 456 00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:15.720 bill is intended to address the whole picture. So let's talk about what exactly. 457 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.599 In case there's people who may not know what deep fake porn actually is, 458 00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:22.559 can you talk a little bit about what that means. And also you 459 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:27.960 mentioned I believe AI generated porn and that are they similar the same thing? 460 00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:35.279 Deep fake porn is created by artificial intelligence. So whereas the photoshop Adobe photoshop, 461 00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.680 which was invented, by the way, in nineteen eighty eight, it's 462 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:42.880 been around that long to modify digital photos, you know, to take that 463 00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:46.119 frown off your face or take the furrow out of your brow, it's pretty 464 00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:52.440 rudimentary stuff. Well, the artificial intelligence components are like photoshop, but they're 465 00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.359 light years ahead of it. And there are apps that you can get on 466 00:33:55.400 --> 00:34:00.240 your phone, dozens of them out there. I suppose that can take your 467 00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:07.039 face heather and superimposed it onto a body in video form, and whether that's 468 00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:14.079 somebody else's body or what it could be the artificial intelligence representation of what you 469 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:19.599 look like wearing different clothes or wearing no clothes. And you can imagine the 470 00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.920 terror of going online or something and seeing a video or an image of yourself 471 00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:28.400 in a compromising situation that you had nothing to do with. So that's what 472 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:31.800 this is intended to address. What it would do was require social media platforms 473 00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:37.280 to take down images like that. Within forty eight hours of their being posted. 474 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:43.840 So yeah, I think it's kind of a matter of AI itself as 475 00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:47.960 a tool of social media watching itself to ensure this doesn't get posted. This 476 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:52.840 type of content that gets created and post online can be absolutely devastating in someone's 477 00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:57.719 life, and it affects you know, men, women, I'm sure kids 478 00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:01.760 as well. So this is something that's really important. What are the ramifications? 479 00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:06.960 What will they be if the videos or images that are created aren't taken 480 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:09.920 down? Is there sort of are there finds being proposed with this bill? 481 00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:13.880 Like, what is the ramification here? Well, it will be Yeah, 482 00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:17.360 that's part of what this whole process is about, is determining what exactly should 483 00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:22.400 be the penalty for not taking things like this down. Well, it'd be 484 00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:23.559 a slap on the wrist, will be there? Will it be penalty, 485 00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:28.920 you know, financial finds? What will be the upshot of that. This 486 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.679 committee has just started its hearings now and has been hearing from people who have 487 00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:36.280 been victimized by this this. You know, there are twenty states around the 488 00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:43.159 country that have some laws against revenge point example, or against deep fake porn. 489 00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:46.239 This takes the whole issue, federalizes it, put it on puts it 490 00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:52.960 under one umbrella and covers both deep fake porn and revenge porn, which is 491 00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:55.679 a slightly different thing in a lot of cases. You know, in a 492 00:35:55.960 --> 00:36:00.480 relationship, somebody takes pictures of somebody else, their partner, they're having a 493 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:02.719 great time, et cetera, they have a nasty breakup, and then the 494 00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:07.599 partner who took the pictures post those pictures as revenge. This would be covered 495 00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:10.880 by that as well, then so called revenge porn that involves actual images. 496 00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:15.920 I know that they have listed here that it has to be removed within forty 497 00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:22.079 eight hours, but I can tell you after seeing videos go viral in a 498 00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:24.280 matter of you know, just a couple of hours, that seems like an 499 00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:29.599 awfully lengthy amount of time for any type of you know, deep fake or 500 00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:32.199 anything to be left online. Well, it really does. And once it's 501 00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:37.199 out there, it's out there forever essentially, And so that's what this is 502 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:38.480 intended to do, to catch it. Yeah, forty eight hours is a 503 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:43.679 long window, but at least it is a window, and the supporters of 504 00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:45.199 this bills say that as it is right now, in a lot of places 505 00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:47.960 there is no window. Well, this is a really important issue. And 506 00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:51.920 I'm so glad that at least somebody is talking about it, and hopefully since 507 00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:54.639 they're working together, this one might might see some forward. You can't help 508 00:36:54.679 --> 00:37:00.559 but cheer for it, right knowing that who's against this, who's compt Yeah. 509 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:04.559 Well, even the cruise was interviewed about this. Ted cruz wat was 510 00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.239 about this and said that so far they haven't heard from any of the social 511 00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:13.480 media platforms in complaint. They they haven't come out against this, so we'll 512 00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:15.639 see if you know, maybe they can get on board. Wonderful. Well, 513 00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:17.800 thank you so much, Jim. We appreciate your time today. Thanks 514 00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:20.880 Heather. All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out 515 00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:24.599 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Closing arguments have started an Orange County 516 00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:30.000 in the trial over a gay Jewish man murdered in Lake Forest. He was 517 00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:34.840 brutally murdered and buried within an hour and a half. Prosecutor Jennifer Walker says 518 00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:39.360 Sam Woodward stabb Blaze Bernstein twenty eight times in twenty eighteen because Bernstein was gay. 519 00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:43.440 He already had his bags and he thought he was going to get away 520 00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:45.559 with it. Defense attorney Ken Morrison says This is not a hate crime. 521 00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:52.400 It's about Woodward social isolation and autism, like millions of adolescents privately struggling with 522 00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:55.280 his own sexuality. First degree murder could mean life in prison, while voluntary 523 00:37:55.320 --> 00:38:00.559 manslaughter means Woodward could get out someday. At OC Superior cour Corbin Carson camp 524 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:05.760 I News, a bear has been wandering around in Chatsworth. It was spotted 525 00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:09.519 in an industrial area near Desto Avenue and Lasson Street last night. This morning, 526 00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:14.000 apparently it was hanging out in a tree. We're still looking at that 527 00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:17.239 excessive heat warning it has been issued for Riverside County because of triple digit temperatures. 528 00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:21.440 The heat warning is in effect until at least nine o'clock for Palm Springs, 529 00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:25.000 Coachella, Palm Desert, Lakina Cathedral City, Banning Desert, Hot Springs, 530 00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:29.719 and India.

The La City Council's Energy 532 00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:38.840 Committee is looking into whether to ban synthetic turf. Emotions says materials used to 533 00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:43.800 produce it are harmful to the environment. Shaun Garrity, the former chairman of 534 00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:49.480 the Synthetic Turf Council says artificial grass has benefits. Synthetic turf very importantly provides 535 00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:53.639 more equitable access to recreation space across communities of all income levels. There's less 536 00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:58.639 upkeep, lower maintenance costs, and it provides a safe, consistent playing surface. 537 00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:02.239 California has allowed cities to ban synthetic turf since last year, and two 538 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:07.719 cities have done so so far.

The reward is for information leading to the identity, 542 00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:24.159 arrest, and prosecution of the persons responsible. Three of the four people killed 543 00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:29.960 in a high speed crash in Upland have been identified as teenagers. San Bernardino 544 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.320 County Sheriff's deputies tried to stop a driver suspected of DUI last week, but 545 00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:37.440 the driver sped off. They collided with another car and a poll at Mountain 546 00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:43.920 Avenue and West sixteenth Street. The black Hyundai police were after was completely destroyed. 547 00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:47.840 The TSA Warren's passengers who are set to travel by air this week to 548 00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:52.039 be prepared for longer wait times and crowded airports as they prepare to screen a 549 00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:57.840 record number of passengers. This comes on the heels of weeks of what's already 550 00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:00.920 been record setting travel as we are just now getting into the busiest stretch so 551 00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:06.639 far.

That's from this past Friday through next Monday, July eighth. 553 00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:15.159 That's a five and a half percent increase from last year. All right, 554 00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:17.280 So we are going to keep an eye on that hurricane throughout the rest 555 00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:21.920 of the morning, as well as that heat advisory and heat warning that's happening 556 00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:24.199 in our area.
