WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:07.679 You're listening to a wake up call on demand from kf I Am six forty. 2 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:18.760 Here's Jason Middleton.

No, 4 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:29.359 okay, just me and ten million other people. I guess okay, cool. 5 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:32.759 Hey, Look, nobody knows if it's going to be a thing. 6 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:38.439 Meta has a track record of seeing something and then copying something, so we'll 7 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.439 see all this goes. We have an interview later this hour with Mike Dubuski 8 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:46.520 from babysit to talk about threads and the competition for Twitter. Twitter's approach being 9 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.240 rather than bigger, stronger, faster, going with slower, weaker, smaller. 10 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:56.399 We'll see. We have a few other headlines before we get into some 11 00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.920 local news out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. Holiday gun violence 12 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.799 has totals. This morning, a new report shows there were at least seventeen 13 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.079 mass shootings across the US during the Fourth of July holiday. The Gun Violence 14 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.879 Archives says the shootings took place between Friday night and into yesterday morning. The 15 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:19.480 shootings shootings led to eighteen deaths and more than one hundred injuries, and spending 16 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.000 on political advertising for the twenty twenty four elections is already double, already double 17 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:29.000 what it was in twenty twenty. Ad Impact reports that more than four hundred 18 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.840 and fifty three million dollars have been spent so far on next year's election. 19 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.599 At this point in twenty twenty, the spend was two hundred and twenty two 20 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:44.000 million dollars. That's amazing. Someone strapped a baby into a carrier and then 21 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:49.719 strapped that carrier onto the roof. It's a baby doll into a carrier onto 22 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.159 a roof of a Tesla and then drove her out a mall parking lot in 23 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.079 New Jersey. Nine one was flooded with calls. The apparent motive was to 24 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:01.519 create a viral video for YouTube. We're getting dumber. Let's start with some 25 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.159 of the stories coming out of kf I twenty four hour news room and internal 26 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.759 affairs investigation will look into the actions of two La County Sheriff's deputies as they 27 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.319 arrested a man and woman in Lancaster. Sheriff Luna said he saw body worn 28 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.639 footage from the deputies and a cell phone recording showing a woman pepper spray then 29 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.400 tackled to the pavement. No one likes to see that. I don't think 30 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.879 anybody ever wants to see any force being applied in any manner, especially from 31 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.199 somebody in uniform, and I said yesterday. On June twenty fourth, deputies 32 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.439 were sent to the Windco grocery store after an employee called nine one one to 33 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.919 report a security guard had been assaulted. Luna said when deputies arrived, they 34 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.840 saw men and woman matching the description, and as they tried to detain them, 35 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.240 they resisted arrest. Luna called the recording disturbing. Steve Gregory Tanka Fine 36 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.120 News. A fifty thousand dollar reward is being offered for information leading to the 37 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.960 arrest of a fatal hit and run driver in Wilmington. Richard Smith says he 38 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.080 watched his best friend die Monday night. How can you live with that on 39 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:57.319 your conscience? You destroyed a whole bunch of people's lives by taking this one 40 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.960 individual away. How could you possibly not own up to it. Smith says 41 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.599 his friend was lighting fireworks when a woman and a Ford explorer hit him and 42 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.719 sped away. The Department of Justice has appealed a court's decision to restrict some 43 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:14.800 federal officials and agencies from communicating with social media companies. A Trump appointed judge 44 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:19.840 issued a sweeping order this week barring talks between the two. Lawsuits claimed the 45 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:25.159 Biden administration colluded with social media companies to regulate information about the pandemic and elections. 46 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.400 An attorney for former President Trump has retired ahead of his potential disbarment over 47 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:36.080 Trump's attempts to overturn the results of the twenty twenty election. Lynn Wood says 48 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.560 his retirement was not on his timing, but the Georgia State Bar agreed not 49 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:45.719 to pursue disciplinary proceedings against him if he did. The agreement declares Wood cannot 50 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:51.280 practice law in any state and he cannot apply for readmission. California Republican Congresswoman 51 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.599 Michelle Steele is pushing a bill to make school's disclose use of personal ratings in 52 00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:02.199 college admissions. Fellow Republican Congresswoman Young Kim says supports eight Steals initiative because a 53 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.560 student's race and background should not be more important than their merits. We've found 54 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:15.680 that without the racial discrimination in admissions, California public universities had more racially diverse 55 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:20.839 Susan bodies. Kim said yesterday the US Supreme Court's decision last week to end 56 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:26.279 affirmative action is a win for students nationwide. Five people have been hurt in 57 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.519 a shooting at an apartment complex in Florida. A woman who lives in the 58 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.639 complex says it's a scary world and she cannot believe it happened right outside her 59 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.920 door. A couple of guys like thrill of them was running from around a 60 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.279 corner and they were like, Oh, I'm shot, I'm shot. And 61 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.639 the guy he had blood all over, she says. A group of people 62 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.680 in the courtyard were confronted by a second group last night before guns started firing, 63 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.360 and no arrests were made. A new survey shows millennials maybe the biggest 64 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.560 liars. Millennials are apparently the worst offenders when it comes to lying on social 65 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.560 media and in the workplace. A new survey from online casino play Star looked 66 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.759 at more than thirteen hundred people to ask them how much they lie. Thirteen 67 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.560 percent of millennials said they lie at least once a day. On the other 68 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:08.920 hand, only two percent of Baby boomers admitted the same, and five percent 69 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.040 of both Gen X and Gen z. Some of the biggest areas of deception 70 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.160 include fabricating something on a resume and lying on social media to impress others. 71 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.399 Mark Ronner, KFI News.

Like 96 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.920 I said, the South Carolina version, ABC White House correspondent Carren Travers is 97 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.240 with us right now. Good morning, Karen, Hey, good morning. 98 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:51.399 President Biden's going to head to South Carolina today to tout that infrastructure. What 99 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:57.240 are his investments in South Carolina? What's the interest? Yeah, So Bidenomics 100 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.839 is this new phrase that the administration is really pushed with. All the President 101 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.759 talk about this last week in Chicago and now today at South Carolina. It's 102 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:09.680 really his economic agenda and how it's benefiting Americans. Today, he's going to 103 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:15.439 be announcing that companies have committed over five hundred billion dollars in private sector manufacturing 104 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.920 and clean energy investments in the US since he came into office, and the 105 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:25.120 White House is highlighting this, and the President highlighting this one particular company, 106 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:30.800 Encha's Energy, a solar tech company that is going to invest sixty million dollars 107 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:35.120 and create eighteen hundred jobs nationwide, including six hundred in South Carolina in clean 108 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:40.120 energy manufacturing. And the White House says that this company is part of a 109 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:46.800 growing list nationwide that's mobilized by funding and investment from one of the President's signature 110 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.439 pieces of legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act. So this is all meant to 111 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:57.279 show, look what the legislation we sign that's very big, kind of broad 112 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.600 you know, it's hard for people to see right away some of the handible 113 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.480 impacts of these pieces of legislation, the Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act. 114 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.759 They want to get him out on the road saying here's where that money 115 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.920 is going. And so that's what he's going to do today and try to 116 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.399 highlight here's where the investment is happening. It's happening in this community, it's 117 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:22.199 creating jobs, it's coming nationwide. Also, look for the President to go 118 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:28.199 after some of the South Carolina members of Congress Republicans who voted against these pieces 119 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.000 of legislation and now are seeing investments in their districts, in their communities. 120 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.799 The President's going to say, you know, if it were for up to 121 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.679 them, this money would not be coming back to their states. The interesting 122 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:45.320 of Senator Lindsey Graham remains unscathed after this visit as well. We've had about 123 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:50.240 two Sunday cycles of news shows and how is bidonomics playing out in the real 124 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.720 world so far? Yeah, And that's the thing. I think the fact 125 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.440 that they have to do this shows that, you know, when you look 126 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:05.279 at how Americans are paving and understanding some of the legislation it's not registering yet 127 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.480 and they get that, and that's why this type of event. You're going 128 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.879 to see a lot more like this over the next couple of months. The 129 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.200 President is not doing campaign rallies, He is not hitting the trail in a 130 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.919 traditional sense as an incumbent. That's normal. We didn't see President Obama do 131 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:26.200 that until twenty twelve for his reelection, so he's not behind schedule right now. 132 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.600 But the White House has to figure out a way for him to get 133 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.720 out a reelection message without launching the full blown reelection. And it's going to 134 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.720 be events like this because they look at polls and see people don't know what 135 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.399 we have done, and they want them to know that as we have deeper 136 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.720 into the campaign season. Right. Thanks a lot for that. That's actually 137 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.240 really great context. I was looking at some gallup polling from Reagan in the 138 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.080 Reaganomics era and it's similar to what we're seeing this time around too. So 139 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.960 what's past is prologue. It seems ABC's aren travers. Thank you so much. 140 00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.840 I would great say carriage covers the White House, all things politics on 141 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.399 Capitol Hill, and so happy to have her as much as we can. 142 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.720 According to that gallup poll. I did look up his lowest rating. Reagan's 143 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.200 lowest was thirty five percent, and that was in nineteen eighty three, before 144 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.720 seeking reelection, and that's when Reaganomics was rolling out. So maybe there is 145 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.039 a bit of a playbook being played out here by the Biden administration as well. 146 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.240 So let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 147 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.279 twenty four hour news room. The Attorney General's annual Use of Force Report shows 148 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:31.279 officers in California shot more Hispanics than any other ethnicity last year. The report 149 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.519 also shows there were five hundred ninety seven uses of force where there was a 150 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.360 severe injury or death, and seventy five percent of those originated as a traffic 151 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:43.320 or pedestrian stop. Numbers show there were more than thirteen hundred gun related encounters 152 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.080 overall in twenty twenty two. Eighty three percent of those officers involved were not 153 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.639 injured, seventeen were, and four officers died. Almost half of those shootings 154 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.279 happened during a call for service, and sixteen percent happened while the crime was 155 00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:01.320 in progress or when officers were investigating suspicious circumstances. Steve Gregory, Cafe News 156 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.240 The Huntington Beach Police Department is looking for three men they say robbed a jewelry 157 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.480 store in Bella Tera. The district's Jessica Kuchila says businesses can help by making 158 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:15.879 sure they have working surveillance cameras. We definitely encourage anyone to call us if 159 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:22.720 they see anyone acting suspiciously around their business or hanging around in the parking lot. 160 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.559 Police say the thieves used hammers to smash into display cases Monday and took 161 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.480 off in a black car with an unknown amount of jewelry. LA City Council 162 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.840 member Tracy Park says she's concerned the annual homeless count does not track homeless people 163 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.759 moving between cities. Parks says the West side of LA has seen the largest 164 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:45.679 jump in homelessness. Other communities are moving populations, and we are absorbing the 165 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.639 brunt of it. On the West side of Los Angeles, Parks District, 166 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.039 which includes Beverly Hills and Culver City, has had an increase of more than 167 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.240 two thousand homeless people. Jet Blue has ended its alliance with American Airlines in 168 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.080 an attempt to save its plan to partner with Spirit Lines. The move announced 169 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.360 by Jet Blue yesterday, follows the judge's order and warning it was in danger 170 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.360 of becoming a monopoly. The airline has been hit with multiple lawsuits, including 171 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.919 from the DOJ, which says the merger with Spirit would violate US antitrust laws. 172 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.480 Now, Jet Blue says there won't be any immediate changes for already booked 173 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.799 flights, in case you were looking at your wallet or your digital wallet. 174 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:26.159 Singer and actor Dominic Fike has revealed he was high on drugs while filming HBO's 175 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.360 Euphoria. Fike, who plays Elliott, says he struggled with addiction issues for 176 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.639 years and being on a show mainly about drugs was hard. He says he 177 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.960 was so messed up he almost got fired and was given an onset sober coach, 178 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.879 which he says did not work. He says he's sober now though, 179 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:46.600 and excited to start filming this next season. Private sector jobs did surge by 180 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.240 four hundred and ninety seven thousand last month. That's well ahead, I think. 181 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.440 I said two twenty two the expectation was two hundred and sixty seven thousand, 182 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:58.399 so about an eighty five to eighty eight percent beat on expectations, and 183 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:03.600 weeks to just two hundred and twenty in this month coming up in July two, 184 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.480 so that's probably going to beat those expectations. We'll see leisure in hospitality 185 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.480 led those hires. Two hundred and thirty two thousand people alone were hired in 186 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.320 that sector. Construction added ninety seven thousand jobs last month, and trade transportation 187 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:22.559 utilities another ninety thousand was added there. The unexpected jump in payrolls does show 188 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.399 a very strong labor market. Also shows that wage increases are at the very 189 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.480 least still on a slight increase. And that's despite the Fed doing its thing 190 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.200 with the interest rates, which we're probably going to get at least two more 191 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.559 hikes, and this Job's report is going to do nothing to slow them down. 192 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.600 ABC Tech correspondent and analyst Mike Dubuski is on the line. A brand 193 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.240 new social media app arrived last night, at least according to my feeds, 194 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.279 and it comes from Meta slash Facebook. Good morning, Mike, Good morning. 195 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.840 Yeah. Meta kind of jumped the gun a little bit here. It 196 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.440 seems they were planning to release this new app called Threads, which is their 197 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.159 Twitter competitor. They were planning to do it today at ten a m. 198 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.440 Eastern but as you mentioned, Jason, a lot of people got on last 199 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.799 night. It feels like they kind of just opened the floodgates. The excitement 200 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.720 level, the hype for this got to be too much that they were like, 201 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.399 come on in, and a lot of people jumped over last night in 202 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.759 the evening time here on the East coast. And it's an interesting sort of 203 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.440 proposition. If you've been on Twitter, this will feel very familiar. It's 204 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:26.000 short character limited posts. It's arranged in a feed. There's an algorithm that 205 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:30.200 presents you things that it thinks you will like. You can go follow people, 206 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.440 they can follow you, you can like, comment, reshare. It's 207 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.840 a lot like Twitter, and that's very intentional on Meta's party. Absolutely. 208 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.879 So, if real estate is about location, social media apps are about timing. 209 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.639 Do you think that maybe Meta pushed this out a little bit early, 210 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.080 not just last night, but I mean just overall. Do you think it 211 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.559 was already baking it and then decided to pull it out of the oven? 212 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.519 Yeah, so Meta's been working on this for a while. Rumors indicated that 213 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.279 we were going to get this sort of mid July, and now we're talking 214 00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.720 here on the sixth, and Yeah, it seems like they may be pushed 215 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.639 this ahead a couple of weeks, and that gets back to this sort of 216 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.399 direct target at Twitter that meta has here Adam Missi, who is the head 217 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.759 of Instagram. That's the team that would kind of put Threads together. It 218 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.559 is its own app, but it's very closely linked to Instagram. He said 219 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:22.799 that recent volatility and unpredictability at Twitter under Elon Musk's leadership provided an opening for 220 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.200 them to put this product out. So they were like, if you don't 221 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.320 like Twitter, here is basically Twitter again, but it's not run by Elon 222 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.039 Musk. That's their pitch. Yeah, kind of hoping to see Blue Sky 223 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.399 come out a little bit quicker than it was. I've been beta testing that 224 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.799 for a couple of months. Now, are you on threads yet? I 225 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.200 am on Threads? Yes. I poured it over my Instagram account last night 226 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.080 when I got back from dinner. And I will say that's kind of the 227 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.600 argument here for on the user end of things when it comes to Threads, 228 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.360 right, is that because it's so closely linked to your Instagram account when you 229 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.559 first sign up and I'm sure you saw this when you did, Jason, 230 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:00.840 there's a screen that says, hey, do you to follow everyone that you 231 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.720 follow on Instagram? And then you just click yes and then your feed populates. 232 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.519 Right. So it's very easy to make that jump. And you can 233 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:12.879 imagine all of the people who follow you on Instagram are making that similar discussion. 234 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:17.720 So it's not like you're starting from zero when you sign up on threads. 235 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:22.440 Your following is there and your followers are there as well. When you 236 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.720 have a blue sky, when you have a mastadon, you kind of got 237 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:29.559 to rebuild that. You have to go looking for those communities to build your 238 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.480 following and to go follow people that you think are interesting. That doesn't seem 239 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:34.919 to be the case here. It seems to be a lot less, a 240 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.519 lot less friction getting onto Threads. I've only got you for thirty more seconds. 241 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.279 So Meta is a copy paste kind of a thing. Do you think 242 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.879 this threads is going to stick around? It didn't necessarily work as well with 243 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.919 Snapchat at first, but now it does. That's very true, and I 244 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.039 think you know Instagram Reels is another good example of them copying a feature from 245 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.360 a popular new app and then integrating into their own service. This I think 246 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:03.080 is a significant moment for Meta because It has been a long time since the 247 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.279 general populace has been really excited about something from them. Right, we talked 248 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.640 about Instagram Stories is a copy of Snapchat Stories. People use it. It's 249 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.839 popular, but I don't know if excitement is the right word to describe that. 250 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.039 Same deal with Instagram Reels. It's popular, but I don't know if 251 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.960 people love it. This is something that people are kind of rooting for. 252 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.960 It seems like the conversations that I've seen happen on threads on Blue Sky, 253 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.440 on some of these Twitter alternatives. They don't like what's going on on Twitter, 254 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.079 they don't like some of the recent decision making that Elon Musk has instituted 255 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:38.119 on that platform. Now with Threads Meta, you know, seemingly what a 256 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.480 reversal of fortune, fortunes for them. They are kind of the hot new 257 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:47.640 thing. There's something that people want to succeed. So whether that will remain 258 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.799 right, we're just in the first day of this, I think that remains 259 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.759 to be seen, but it's certainly an interesting reversal of fortunes for Matta. 260 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.680 I think Mike, thanks for coming on with this Morning. Always a pleasure 261 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.720 YouTube. Speaking with ABC Tech, We're spondent and analyst Mike Dubuskie. Right, 262 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.880 there a couple of things about this, just in case you're interested in 263 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.119 porting over, like he said, and you're right. He's right, there's 264 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.960 not much excitement around it. It's more like a relief. You can sign 265 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:12.880 up with your Instagram account, keep your user name, That's what I did. 266 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.440 It's really easy to follow all of your Instagram connections, and people who 267 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.799 are already verified on Instagram get to keep those blue checks, which is one 268 00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.000 of the differentiating marks from Twitter as well. Threats are going to have the 269 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:30.599 same content moderation policies and infrastructure as Instagram, which means equals stability, and 270 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.640 the app will eventually connect to other social media sites like Mastodon, which is 271 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:38.519 also a competitor of course to Twitter during this diaspora. And I think the 272 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.119 last thing about Twitter is the only aspect of Twitter that has not been addressed 273 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.640 by a competitor yet, is that most journalists used to use Twitter as an 274 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:49.960 assignment desk, and that's not been ported it over to anybody else just yet. 275 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:52.920 Maybe Blue Sky is the one who steps into that. Let's get some 276 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.039 more news coming from the KFI twenty four Hour news room, California Republican Congresswoman 277 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:02.720 Michelle Steele says she's pushing for legis for schools to disclose use of personal ratings 278 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.400 in admissions. A version of the bill was introduced in twenty twenty two, 279 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:10.920 but it was never voted on. Congresswoman Young Kim says she's supporting Steele's efforts 280 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:15.359 after the US Supreme Court ruled last week to end affirmative action. This decision 281 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.839 is a win for all Americans, but especially those hard working as students, 282 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:27.319 especially from the minority backgrounds, under privilege, or underrepresented communities. Kim said 283 00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:32.400 yesterday. A person's race and backgrounds should not matter more than their merits and 284 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:36.680 character. Chris Adler ka FI News. A brush fire in the hills west 285 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.160 of Temecula has burned more than seven and a half acres and threatened homes. 286 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:45.400 Riverside County Fire officials ordered evacuations yesterday for fifteen homes in the area of Sandia 287 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:51.160 Creek and Elprado. As of last night, the fire was contained. A 288 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:53.519 fifty thousand dollar reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest in a 289 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:57.839 fatal hit and run in Wilmington. One arian was allegedly lighting fireworks in the 290 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:03.440 middle of Free Street when a speeding suv slammed into him. Friend and roommate 291 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.039 Richard Smith says the car sped up, aimed at his friend and intentionally hit 292 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.400 him, and he flew one hundred and twenty feet and as a car was 293 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.279 pulling out a food for less, he ended up under the car. He 294 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.200 didn't get hit twice, the only guy hit once. Police say the suv 295 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:21.279 that crashed into Aryan Monday night as a two thousand and eight Forward Explorer, 296 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:26.880 and the driver is described as a Hispanic female Chris Adler. KFI News officials 297 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.640 say the man accused of killing five people and injuring four others in Philadelphia told 298 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.480 police he went on the shooting spree to clean up the neighborhood. Thea Larry 299 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.359 Krasner says they will do justice in court with this case. We'll be facing 300 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:42.720 multiple counts of murder and we'll also be facing multiple counts of aggravators assault as 301 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:48.200 a first greefelony weapons charges, among others. Krasner says the man who was 302 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.039 in court yesterday posted disturbing messages on social media before the attack Monday and had 303 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.559 a previous gun conviction years ago. Krasner says resources have been provided to the 304 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:02.119 community to help people cope with the tragedy. Some soft economic data as well, 305 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:03.759 from the peak season of home sales. This time, we had a 306 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:07.359 strong jobs report. Now we see mortgage rates last week hit their highest level 307 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.920 since the end of May, which in turn is pushing down, you know, 308 00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.680 new mortgage applications. Total mortgage volume down four and a half percent compared 309 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.400 to the week before. That's according to Mortgage Bankers Association. Demand is now 310 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.759 at its lowest level in a month. Right now, on Wake Up Called, 311 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:29.279 Israel withdrew its forces from the Janine refugee camp just after midnight, ending 312 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.839 the largest military operation there in years. ABC's Geordana Miller is with us to 313 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:40.319 help us unpack this morning's news. Good morning. That's right. After really 314 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:45.599 almost eighteen months of escalating violence, the Israeli army decided to go into the 315 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:51.839 Janine refugee camp and carry out what it called the counter terrorism operation. It 316 00:21:51.960 --> 00:22:02.079 lasted forty eight hours. They found thousands of ammunition, rifles explode, even 317 00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:07.279 bags and bags of cash, and even some hidden in the local mosque there. 318 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:14.240 They were able to arrest about three dozen militants and question about one hundred 319 00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:19.759 others. But at the end of this operation twelve Palestinians killed. Israel says 320 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:26.680 they were all combatants, but no activists in the camp. Say a handful 321 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:33.480 of those killed were indeed civilians, a few young teenagers, one Israeli soldier 322 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.839 was killed. And really massive destruction left behind in one section of this refugee 323 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:44.279 camp. I mean they tore up streets, bulldozed them and damaged you know, 324 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:49.839 dozens of buildings and cars, cut power lines and water lines, and 325 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:55.680 of course the internet is not working in those areas either. So the Palestinian 326 00:22:55.759 --> 00:23:02.799 civilians who are not involved with militant activity coming back really finding um, you 327 00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:06.559 know that their neighborhood, their streets, their homes you know, have been 328 00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.880 you know, extreme severely damaged. Jordana, thank you for that. Can 329 00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.279 for more context around the situation on the ground, Can you tell us what 330 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:21.640 Janine refugee camp looked like ten days ago before this happened. Well, the 331 00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:27.160 Janine refugee camp is located in the disputed West Bank in the northern section uh 332 00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:34.200 It is home to eighteen thousand Palestinians. It is you know, been around 333 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:42.000 since nineteen forty eight, since the It's a long history of Palestinian militancy, 334 00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:51.039 going back most recently just twenty years ago during the Palestininea Uprising. It was 335 00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:57.559 one of the most explosive areas. But you know, the terrible part of 336 00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:03.079 these kind of operations is that you know, there's you know, hundreds of 337 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:08.039 militant oparate in the in the camp, but they're eighteen thousand, you know, 338 00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:15.480 innocent civilians who live there, and it is part of the militant strategy 339 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.039 to live among civilians, and they end up paying a huge price, really 340 00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:25.759 an unfair price. Jordanna, thank you for that too. Any new expectations 341 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:30.480 so far coming out of this, either on the Israeli side or Palestinian expectations, 342 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.480 Well, I think this question is, you know, will this actually 343 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:41.720 be an operation that you know will be effective in any way, meaning will 344 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:47.000 it create some deterrence? Will it break then nearly eighteen months of violence we've 345 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.960 seen, uh, you know, this is already on record set to be 346 00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:56.039 the deadliest year in twenty years, right, almost thirty Israeli civilians killed, 347 00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:03.039 over one hundred and sixty Palestinians in you know, these nightly or daytime Israeli 348 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.920 military raids, you know, will will there be you know, finally an 349 00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:11.920 end to this wave. And the other question is whether we're going to see 350 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:17.000 more of these raids. Maybe the Israeli army now is going to stop the 351 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:21.480 nightly raids and go in maybe once a month for you know, one or 352 00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:26.440 two or three days and try to clear out. And the other part of 353 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:30.799 this equation is the Palestinian authority are they going to take up a proposal that 354 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:37.640 was put on the table by the Biden administration to really retrain their Palastinian police 355 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:42.000 and get them in to do job. Jordana, We're having a little bit 356 00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:45.079 of difficulty, but I think I could get one more question in um you 357 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:49.559 mentioned there the deadliest year in twenty years. Why do you think this happened 358 00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.480 now? Or there was there any indication on either side that things are going 359 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:57.240 to tick up deadly violence for the first time in twenty years? Why now? 360 00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:04.079 Well, this two day read was kind of the climax of eighteen months 361 00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:11.559 of intensifying violence, and it started under the previous government, which was not 362 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.680 a far right government by any means. It was, you know, a 363 00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:21.160 diverse coalition of right and left, including an Arab Islamist party, and it 364 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:25.440 was then that the violence first began. And I think there's a lot of 365 00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:30.400 factors why. I mean, on the Palestinian side, you know, there's 366 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:37.400 deep frustration and apathy. They've lost faith in the Palestinian authority and the leadership 367 00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:44.200 of Palestinian President Mahmoudabas, who they believe is corrupt and weak and even a 368 00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:49.799 partner of Israel and policies that they disagree with, and he has done very 369 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:56.200 little to move forward on the goal of an independent Palestinian state, and so 370 00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:03.359 there's been a turn to militancy among young Palestinians. On the other side, 371 00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:08.720 the Israeli government, you know, whether it was even the previous government there 372 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:15.079 there there's also resistance there and about really restarting a peace process, a meaningful 373 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:22.599 peace process, and that's because much of the public also has lost faith, 374 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.279 i think, in a real peace process. And before that, it was 375 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.400 years and years of a government under Natanniall that didn't want a peace process, 376 00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:36.720 and certainly the current government is not interested in a peace a peace process at 377 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:41.519 all, and even you know, in any kind of full dial Jordanna, 378 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:47.480 thank you so much for joining us. We'll talk again soon. Thanks so 379 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:52.079 much. Now, ABC's Jordonna Miller, they're joining us from Jerusalem. A 380 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:55.519 little bit of a body connection, but very important information coming out of the 381 00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:57.240 region this morning. Let's get back to a few of the stories coming out 382 00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:02.279 of the camp by twenty four hour news room before we progress towards Brad Garrett 383 00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:04.680 later. At this hour, police and Huntington Beach are looking for three smash 384 00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:08.640 and grab robbers who hit a jewelry store in Bellata. The men allegedly broke 385 00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:12.799 into the store in broad daylight and used hammers to break through display cases. 386 00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:19.160 The departments Jessica Kucia says businesses can help prevent break ins by reporting suspicious activity. 387 00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:23.160 Please call the police department and inform us. We'll go out there and 388 00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:27.240 check to see why they're in that area. Police say the men took off 389 00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:32.680 in a black car Monday with an unknown amount of jewelry. Anyone with information 390 00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:37.160 is urged to call Huntington Beach PD. Chris Adler Ka FI News Climate activist 391 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.759 Greta Tunberg has been charged with disobeying law enforcement over a protest in Sweden. 392 00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:45.839 Prosecutors say the group stop traffic in the oil terminal of a port last month, 393 00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:49.200 and Tunberg refused to comply with orders. They say the crime is typically 394 00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.920 punishable with fines. Tunberg will face trial at the end of this month. 395 00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:59.279 Scientists say Earth's average temperature yesterday remained at an unofficial record highs that the day 396 00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:07.480 before. The University of Maine's Climate Now reanalyzer sorry shows the average global temperature 397 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.400 was sixty two point nine degrees fahre kneit. As Wayne Resnick pointed out yesterday, 398 00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:12.720 though that's kind of a fishing number, because you know, half of 399 00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.960 the world is in winter right now, but still six or two point nine 400 00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:19.880 is a new hottest day ever. Over the long holiday weekend, there were 401 00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:25.480 eighteen mass shootings across America, according to report out this morning, seventeen and 402 00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.400 eighteen deaths, more than one hundred injured. ABC's Brad Garrett is with us 403 00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:32.920 to talk about the news and also to discuss gun policy and politics. Welcome 404 00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:37.000 back, Brad, Thank you, thank you so. Seventeen mass shootings, 405 00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:41.000 according to a report over the holiday weekend to celebrate the Declaration of Independence signing 406 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.400 not a great look for America. Zeitgeist, where are we well? Of 407 00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:49.000 course not. You know, if you look at all Jason, of the 408 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:53.880 different angles of how you you know, you sort of go at gun violence. 409 00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:57.920 You know, we've had endless discussions about guns, get controlled, banning, 410 00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:02.599 a R fifteen, all of these things. They're really not going to 411 00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:07.400 get us anywhere because we're just not ready as a society to actually address this 412 00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:15.359 and as a huge component to this problem. But if we can't change people 413 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:19.319 at least it across the board generally speaking, then when else can you look 414 00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:23.519 at? And the other component of this is mental health. And I'm not 415 00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:30.160 suggesting mental health of people that are schizophrenic or like severely mentally ill. I'm 416 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:36.200 talking about behavioral stuff like hopelessness, despair, isolation, self loathing, self 417 00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:41.519 harm, depression, It goes on and on that there are studies that would 418 00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:47.480 support that if you start to identify some of those behaviors and others of kids 419 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:52.880 actually an elementary school and start to work with them and I'm not again talking 420 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.960 about putting them into therapy, but teachers are aware, social workers at the 421 00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:03.599 school are aware to identify and help these kids become better functioning, less angry, 422 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:08.240 etc. That if that consistently has followed through through elementary school, middle 423 00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:15.000 school, high school, and then even community programs like mobile mental health units 424 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:22.319 that LA probably has, but maybe even in an expanded version that the study 425 00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:26.160 support that it can reduce crime rate overall, and it certainly can address and 426 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:33.200 reduce gun violent type crime. So, Brad seems like the politics after these 427 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:36.880 things, everybody comes out. There's also the thoughts and prayers aspect of it, 428 00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:38.759 and then there's some that say from electron that things need to be done. 429 00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:45.839 Are you seeing anything different coming out of the July fourth Holidays? No. 430 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:51.920 I mean it's interesting because the Governor of New Jersey, Philip Murphy, 431 00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.559 has basically done a study and he's pulled together a bunch of experts in this 432 00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.680 particular arena that you and I are talking about, and he's come up with 433 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:07.680 some of the things that that you and I are discussing, and I think 434 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.880 he's going to attempt to implement those. Are there cities, Jason that are 435 00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:15.759 due some version of this? I think so. But a less than a 436 00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:21.480 third of the school systems basically have any mechanisms to address, nor have they 437 00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:28.079 really adequately educated teachers and administrators what to look for and in sort of common 438 00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:31.920 sense ways to approach helping kids, right. I know you've been analyzing this 439 00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:36.200 and covering this, and this is your expertise. I know that politics is 440 00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:39.000 not necessarily your expertise. I'm wondering, just in a very macro kind of 441 00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:44.640 way, does this conversation, this policy discussion, create an avenue for another 442 00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:50.119 platform, a third party even to put forth some solutions. You mentioned mental 443 00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:54.279 health right there. I'm not familiar with any concrete solutions to that. No, 444 00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:00.599 And I guess the problem, Jason, is that it does have an 445 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:06.880 immediate effect. I mean, you're really talking about investing resources as early as 446 00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:15.200 elementary school to get people better functioning so that they become less angry, less 447 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:22.279 violent adults. And how do you measure that And how do you convince politicians 448 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:29.160 of today that this could really help down the road when they're really, at 449 00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:32.759 the end of the day interested in what can get them around the corner instead 450 00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:37.599 of down the road. And so that's a problem. I don't know about 451 00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:39.359 third parties. I mean, the reality is you have to have the money 452 00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:43.519 to do this, and you have to have the will of the people in 453 00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:47.680 your jurisdiction because a lot of this will boil down the fence can help money 454 00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:53.759 wise, grants, whatever it might be. But it's like everything else, 455 00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:57.920 it's all local. Right when it comes to the stuff I talk about, 456 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:02.279 it's really all local, and that's who the folks that would have to jump 457 00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:07.199 in and when they'd have to have the financial and professional support to do these 458 00:34:07.239 --> 00:34:14.920 things. And again it's I think a bit of an uphill battle with politicians 459 00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.159 for reasons we discussed. Yeah, I agree, it's an uphill battle. 460 00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:22.719 Looks like to an horizon point that's way far off. But you're right, 461 00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.440 acting locally, at least there's something that can be done and seen there and 462 00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:30.119 been able to analyze them, maybe a proof of concept that they can emanate 463 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:34.000 into a more regional or even national kind of scale. I hope have you 464 00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:37.320 seen anything along those lines. Can you think of a specific example with a 465 00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:40.760 city or a county that may have implemented something that might be worth repeating? 466 00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.360 No, I mean there are cities and counties that have a version of what 467 00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:53.199 we're talking about. You know. Governor Murphy references those in the study he 468 00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:59.639 did, and I think his goal is to implement some of these policies in 469 00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:05.400 the of New Jersey and so it'll be interesting to see where that goes. 470 00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:09.039 Again, let me go back to it's so difficult, Jason to measure these 471 00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:14.199 things, how effective really are they because you're really talking about human behavior. 472 00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:17.320 Just because you offer all these things doesn't mean that there's going to be some 473 00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:23.559 people that are going to go south violently at some point. But to better 474 00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:30.800 identify and in particular to better identify them on the street and do follow ups 475 00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:34.239 with them, because that's what we really miss in a lot of these mass 476 00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:38.679 shooters is there's no follow up when you have initial conversations with kids or young 477 00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:45.159 adults. Big issue. ABC's Crime and Terrorism Analyst Brad Garrett, thanks so 478 00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:46.639 much for your time this morning. Brad much appreciated it. As always, 479 00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:51.679 You're welcome, take care of Jason. Thank you. Let's get back to 480 00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:53.280 some of the stories coming out of the KFI at twenty four hour News Room 481 00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:58.079 before we roll into Handle on the News with Wayne Resnick. A new report 482 00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:02.639 shows spending related to La Mayor Ass's Inside Safe program to house homeless people has 483 00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:07.320 reached nearly forty million dollars. The money has been spent on hotel rooms, 484 00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:12.079 keeping the La Grand Hotel open for another year. Service providers over time to 485 00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:16.039 LAPD officers and reimbursing the city's Department of Transportation. A new report shows police 486 00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:21.679 in California shot more Hispanics last year than any other ethnicity. The State Attorney 487 00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:25.280 General's Annual Use of Force Report shows that of the six hundred and twelve civilians 488 00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:30.199 involved in an officer's use of force, forty eight percent were Hispanic, twenty 489 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:34.320 five percent were white, and nineteen percent were black. The report also shows 490 00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:37.920 that of the five hundred and ninety seven situations where a gun was used and 491 00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:42.440 resulted in serious injury or death, seventy five percent happened during a traffic or 492 00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:46.920 pedestrian stop. And a study has found a high BMI does not necessarily mean 493 00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:52.400 a higher risk of death. Researchers say their work published yesterday shows that BMI 494 00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:55.360 by itself is a poor indicator of health issues. The study, which looked 495 00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:59.599 at BMI and the risk of death in more than five hundred and fifty thousand 496 00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:05.559 people, compared equal BMIs with different waste circumferences and found that I was looking 497 00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.519 down and found that waste circumference is actually a better factor to determine health. 498 00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:14.920 Last month, the American Medical Association adopted a policy advising doctors to consider other 499 00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:20.840 things like fat distribution, genetics, waste circumference, and muscle mass.
