A public safety committee has voted down a new proposal 10 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.040 to criminalize homeless camps in California. The bill would have made it a crime 11 00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.519 for a person to sit, lie, sleep, or camp within five hundred 12 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:21.040 feet of a school or other sensitive areas. Seven jurors have been seated in 13 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.959 former President Trump's hush money trial. Dozens of jurors have been dismissed, mostly 14 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.519 because they said they couldn't be impartial in deciding whether Trump falsified documents when he 15 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:36.400 paid off porn actress Stormy Daniels in twenty sixteen, we're going to be talking 16 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:45.079 with ABC's Peter Harlambuss in New York. He was in the courtroom yesterday and 17 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.560 we'll be in the courtroom, i think for the duration of the trial. 18 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:49.680 So we're going to talk to him in just a couple of minutes. I'm 19 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.400 kind of excited to hear, you know, like what it's like in the 20 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.519 courtroom, how it's going so far, what's the vibe, so stick around. 21 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.040 That's in just about five minutes. Zero also says you can get a 22 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.840 deal on a self driving car, and the iPhone has been unseated as the 23 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.240 number one phone in the land. We're going to be talking to him at 24 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.039 five twenty. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. A 25 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.520 Boeing whistleblower says, all the seven eighty sevens should be grounded. Bill's going 26 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.520 to tell you why. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out 27 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.520 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A home invasion in Newport Beach that 28 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.240 ended with one robber's suicide was not a random robbery. It is targeted. 29 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.639 Newport Beach Police Sergeant Steve Oberon says two men barged in, but the homeowner 30 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.000 shot one of the men multiple times, and the other guy ran right back 31 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.680 out of the house. When he was ultimately contacted by the police, he 32 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.439 already had a gunshot wound to his head that was self inflicted. The guy 33 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.000 who was shot was also found outside laying in the street. Oberon says he's 34 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.280 expected to live. He says a man, two women, and a juvenile 35 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.319 who were inside the home during the invasion yesterday were not hurt. In Newport 36 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.960 Beach, Corbin Carson KFI news, woman Dan's body has been found inside a 37 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:06.520 garbage can in Sunland. Police recalled yesterday by people who live in the area. 38 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.639 They'd complained about an unsettling smell coming from the trash can. There are 39 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:16.080 reports the woman's body was sealed inside a snowboarding bag. Some renters in La 40 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:21.479 County may get their rent reduced if landlords don't fix code violations. The new 41 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.199 all starts in six months. It requires all rental units and unincorporated parts of 42 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.439 the county to be inspected once every four years, or when a complaint is 43 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.759 filed. The Board of supervisors unanimous vote yesterday allows for tenants to put rent 44 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:36.680 money into a county ESCRO account, with holding it from the landlord if violations 45 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.960 aren't fixed in a timely manner. Supervisor Holly Mitchell says strengthening the law was 46 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:46.159 overdue. Every county resident deserves to live in a habitable space. The enhanced 47 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:51.560 inspection program will be paid for by landlord fees eighty six bucks per unit per 48 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:57.599 year. Michael Monks KFI News. Iran's president has warned that the tiniest invasion 49 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.759 by Israel and retaliation for an attack on it Israel would result in what it 50 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.840 calls a massive and harsh response. Iran fired hundreds of missiles and drones at 51 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.800 Israel over the weekend in response to an apparent Israeli strike on Iran's embassy compound 52 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.800 in Syria this month that killed to twelve people, including two Iranian generals. 53 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.240 Israel has said it would respond, but has not said when or how. 54 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:27.759 The Super Bowl champion football player Travis Kelce is entering a new phase of his 55 00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.800 career and it doesn't have anything to do with Taylor Swift. Prime Video has 56 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.720 announced that he's going to host a new game show called All You Are You 57 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:40.000 Smarter than a Celebrity? It's going to be streaming on Prime Video. It's 58 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.680 being billed as a spin off of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? 59 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.319 That actually could be kind of entertaining. Now, let's say good morning to 60 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.480 ABC's Peter Haralumbas. Oh. I was going to say it right, Peter, 61 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.639 how do you pronounce your last name? Para a Lumbus? Story better 62 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.240 at all? Par A Lumbus? I was close, sort of. It's 63 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.160 all good. This is our first time talking to you, so I'm super 64 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:09.160 excited to talk to you because you are in the courtroom in Lower Manhattan where 65 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:15.360 they are working on jury selection in former President Trump's trials. So can you 66 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.319 tell us before we kind of dig into it, like what's the vibe of 67 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:24.720 the courtroom, how does it feel, and how are people reacting. It's 68 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.600 sparsely populated, intense. So at the moment, for the actual trial, 69 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:35.079 there should be about sixty reporters in the actual room, one per news outlet 70 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.839 from anywhere in the world. But for jury selection, given the fact that 71 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.720 they're using kind of the gallery the audience space in the courtroom for jurors, 72 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.959 it's down to just six of us reporters. We're all kind of working as 73 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.879 a pool. So it's when Trump enders and exits, he makes eigeh contact 74 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:56.959 with us. When Trump is looking at the jurors, he's only like ten 75 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.519 feet away from them. It led to a somewhat tense confrontation. Yet yesterday, 76 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.279 at one point the judge had to reprimand Trump and his lawyers. Trump 77 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.319 allegedly was muttering an earshot of the jury, and the judge kind of shot 78 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.279 back saying, quote, I will not have any jury intimidation in this courtroom. 79 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.319 And this is all coming after prosecutors trying to hold Trump in contempt of 80 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.800 court for a bunch for three different violation of the cases limited gag orders. 81 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:25.959 So it's been a tense courtroom. There's a little bit of curiosity and that 82 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.560 these jurys don't really know what they're walking into. But it is high stakes, 83 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.720 okay. And you mentioned that they didn't know what they're walking into. 84 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.800 So when when they first came in, they they were not told ahead of 85 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:44.120 time that this was for former President Trump's trial. Yeah, I mean they 86 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.759 might be able to deduce it given the fact that when they arrived in the 87 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.759 morning, there was a you know, a horde of cameras and press around 88 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.079 the courthouse. But when they got their jury summons in the last month, 89 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.120 it doesn't say on it you've been selected for you know, United you know 90 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.800 the people of New York be Donald Trump. And even when they arrived in 91 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.279 the courthouse on Monday morning, so about two hundred jurors, for example, 92 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:08.600 arrived in this courthouse, they didn't necessarily know if they were going to be 93 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.560 on the Trump case or any of the other cases that were happening in that 94 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.480 courthouse the same day. I mean, it's so much so that one of 95 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.800 the jurors and the case herself, and she's a nurse who works she's an 96 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.000 on college nurse who works at a major hospital in New York. She said, 97 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.879 quote, I didn't know that I was walking into this. When she 98 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.079 was questioned by lawyers, it was a total and utter surprise to her. 99 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.720 Yeah, okay, So, and we had heard that it was potentially going 100 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:40.639 to take weeks to see to jury, but yesterday they picked seven. Yeah. 101 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.759 I think that came as a shock to a lot of people. I 102 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.040 mean we were told as well, you know, this serious election process could 103 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.519 take as long as two weeks. It's kind of an unprecedented challenge of finding 104 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:54.439 people who don't have strong thoughts on the former president. But from this original 105 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.040 pool of ninety six people, they were able to whittle it down yesterday. 106 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.959 I mean, I think it's also important to note that, you know, 107 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.160 while the lawyers in this case have an unlimited number of strikes for cause, 108 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.279 so that's removing a juror for a justified reason. For example, they had 109 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.720 a bad social media post, or they said something that they said something very 110 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.639 judgmental the former president that suggests they couldn't be fair. They only have about 111 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.079 a dozen strikes for whatever reason, so they kind of have to use those 112 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.680 sparingly and strategically. So one push came to show yesterday and the lawyers and 113 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.120 the prosecutors used their strikes. They got these seven drawers that this is more 114 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.480 than half of the actual jury that's going to judge the former president, and 115 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.919 it includes the foreman, who's an Irish American salesman who lives on the Upper 116 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.600 East Side of New York, Okay. And how how does he get picked 117 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:45.399 to be the foreman already before the whole jury's picked, just by nature of 118 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:46.879 the fact that he was the very first jur or. He's during number one, 119 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.759 So kind of just luck of the draw. Oh okay, gotcha. 120 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.360 And you know you were saying that there was a there's an oncology nurse, 121 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.679 and then the about the foreman. I thought we weren't supposed to know anything 122 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.960 about who the jurors were, but apparently that's not the case. We just 123 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.919 don't know their names. Yeah, so they're anonymous in that we're not supposed 124 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.159 to know their names. But I mean, based on the questionnaire that they 125 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.399 had to fill out, we know a good amount about them. And they've 126 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.399 been questioned by the lawyers in this case about the throw to the former president. 127 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.200 So we have details down to the fact that you know, the foreman 128 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.000 is an Irish American salesman. It was an Irish American salesman. Excuse me. 129 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.240 We have this nurse from the Upper East Side. We have two corporate 130 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.080 lawyers, one of which said he wasn't super familiar with the allegations against Trump, 131 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.320 another one who said he liked Trump some of Trump's policies, but didn't 132 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.600 judgement as a person. We have an IT consultant who said that he kind 133 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.840 of finds it interesting and fascinating that Trump sets people off, calling the former 134 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.879 president fascinating and mysterious. We have a teacher who likes the way that Trump 135 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.799 speaks his mind, and we have a software engineer who only graduated college a 136 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.639 few years ago. So it's a real cross section of New York. Though. 137 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:56.960 You know, at the end of the day, well will not and 138 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.679 should not be reporting their actual days. Yeah, okay, So once they 139 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.679 get all they're going to have eighteen because they need twelve and then six alternates, 140 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:11.360 right, yeah, so we yes, okay, and there's no court 141 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.279 today, but you're back in court tomorrow. And then once they do get 142 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:22.559 that seated, how soon will the trial actually start? So Judge Murshawn, 143 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.159 who's overseeing the case, is aiming to hear opening statements on Monday. We're 144 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.759 going to have two more days of court this week, Thursday and Friday. 145 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:35.000 Each of those days we expect to have another fresh ninety six potential jurors. 146 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.159 So theoretically, if we got seven from the first batch, it's fully possible 147 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.840 that from those two more batches we're able to get to the total of eighteen 148 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.159 twelve actual jurors and six ultimates. Okay, and then the trial. But 149 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.200 didn't just the trial start the next day, or do they set a trial 150 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.480 date for like a couple days out it would have it would pick up. 151 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.080 So if we get it, for example, the full eighteen on Friday, 152 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.320 we'd start. They'd hear opening statements on Monday, though the judges kind of 153 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.919 signal to the jurors that is possibility. We don't make that on time, 154 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.240 so we'll have to see. Thursday and Priory will kind of be critical days 155 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.399 for the lawyers in this case. Okay, Well, good to see that 156 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:16.039 progress has been made and you're going to be in the courtroom for the whole 157 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.720 trial, right, I'll be there every day. Perfect. Well, I 158 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.320 hope we get to talk to you again, Peter. It was a pleasure 159 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.559 talking to you for the first time. Thanks for the information. Yeah, 160 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.559 thanks so much for having me. Looking forward to it. Take care. 161 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.759 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 162 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:37.720 hour newsroom. The legislative Public Safety committees voted down a proposal to criminalize homeless 163 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.399 camps. Republican State Minority Leader Brian Jones says he was disappointed in the vote. 164 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.519 You can solve it, you can move in a positive digression. We're 165 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.279 to keep working on The bill would have made it a crime for a person 166 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.559 to sit, lie, sleep, or camp within five hundred feet of a 167 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:56.000 school or other sensitive areas. Jones said it would have helped compassionately clear camps 168 00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.799 and connect people with services. Oh Ja Sims, longtime lawyer in Las Vegas, 169 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.480 says the former NFL star and accused killer was chilling on the couch with 170 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.840 a beer just two weeks before he died. Simpson's family attributed the death April 171 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:16.279 tenth to prostate cancer. The attorney who is the executor of Simpson's estate has 172 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.080 said oj would be cremated and that the family has not planned any public memorial. 173 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.840 The United Nations is appealing for two point eight billion dollars to provide more 174 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:31.440 aid to three million Palestinians in Gaza. The UN says tackling a looming famine 175 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.679 in the war torn region requires not only food, but sanitation, water, 176 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.840 and health facilities. The head of the UN Humanitarian Office for Gaza and the 177 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:45.919 West Bank said yesterday massive operations are required to restore services and meet minimum standards, 178 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.679 and says it can't be done during military operations. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome 179 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:56.799 Powell is indicating interest rates are likely not going to be cut next month. 180 00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.799 He spoke yesterday at an economics forum in Washington, DCA. We've said at 181 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.639 the FOMC that will need greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward two percent 182 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.440 before the appropriate to ease policy. Interest rates have remained at their highest level 183 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:15.039 in more than two decades since last July. Some economists had expected the Central 184 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.039 Bank to cut its key rate at its June meeting. Three adults and a 185 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:24.039 miner have been arrested in connection with robberies at nearly four dozens seven eleven stores 186 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.679 around La County over a four month period. Authority say they've stolen a quarter 187 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.600 million dollars in merchandise during that time. The four were arrested after they were 188 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.480 allegedly seen jumping over a counter and stealing California lottery scratchers. A second House 189 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:43.519 Republican says he'll support an effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson. Kentucky Republican Thomas 190 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.759 Massey called on Johnson to resign. He and a small group of Republicans are 191 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.200 upset with Johnson over how he has handled foreign aid for Ukraine and other US 192 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.600 allies. Workers have installed the first girder that will support the span of a 193 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.200 wildlife crossing over the one on one Freeway near Hills. When completed in late 194 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:07.000 twenty twenty five or early twenty twenty six, the crossing will provide safe passage 195 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.200 for mountain lions and other animals between the Santa Monica Mountains and the larger and 196 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.440 genetically diverse area to the north. We actually got to talk with Beth Pratt 197 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.279 with the National Wildlife Federation yesterday morning. In case you missed it, you 198 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.399 can always go back and listen to a wake up call on the iHeartRadio app. 199 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.679 Really interesting interview and can't wait for the lions have to have a place 200 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.960 to cross. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. Half 201 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.799 the missiles launched at Israel were apparently duds, and the US took out most 202 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.000 of the rest of them. Let's say good morning now to the host of 203 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:45.000 Rich on Tech on KFI and KTLA's tech reporter, Rich Demiro. Good morning, 204 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:46.720 Rich, Hey, good morning to you. Amy. So Apple can 205 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:52.200 no longer say we're number one, we're number one? Yeah, Well, 206 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.039 you know, look there's still a very good company, but there's kind of 207 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.600 you know, when you think about like sports teams, these are the two 208 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.919 big teams. Right, You've got Apple, You've got Samsung, and they're 209 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.080 always competing for who has the larger market share. And the good news is 210 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.399 smartphone sales in general are up. Samsung, though, reclaimed the top position 211 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:15.159 in the first quarter of this year. Anne is cheering in the other room. 212 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.320 They shipped sixty over sixty million phones, and then when it came to 213 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.399 Apple, they shipped fifty million phones. So when you look at their market 214 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.879 share, this is worldwide. Now you would probably think it's a lot more 215 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:33.200 than this, but Samsung about twenty percent and Apple about seventeen percent. If 216 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.279 you live in LA, you probably think Apple is like a ninety percent market 217 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:43.600 share, right, but it's so that's worldwide though, right, yeah, 218 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.360 that's worldwide La. I don't have the numbers for LA, but I feel 219 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.480 like it's much higher in LA where a very iPhone centric town, which is 220 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.440 probably why Anne is clapping back there. But the reality is, look, 221 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.919 smartphone sales are up, which is good news. And you know, the 222 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.600 Samsung being on top versus Apple being on top, they kind of flip flop 223 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.559 at this point because Apple puts out their phones in the last quarter, so 224 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:08.519 of course they have a lot of sales. And then Samsung puts their phones 225 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.360 out in the first quarter, so they have a lot of sales. Okay, 226 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.639 And I mean they both have. It just depends on what if your 227 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:21.240 team Samsung or team Apple. But because the like the people I know who 228 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:25.080 use Android phones, they don't want anything to do with Apple, and it's 229 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:29.879 kind of the opposite for the Apple people. Is there a clear winner in 230 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.159 your mind you're the tech guy, No, there is not. In fact, 231 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.919 I think that they both do very different things very well. Apple has 232 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.559 this amazing ecosystem, but you know, it's all made by one company and 233 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.960 it's all dictated by what they want you to do, whereas Android has a 234 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:51.919 much wider variety of products and services from various companies and you get to decide 235 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.039 what you want to do. So people like that control. They want Android. 236 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:56.919 They like that kind of lean back and I don't have to think about 237 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.039 much go with iPhone. It's all, you know, it's a personal thing. 238 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.400 I think that the messaging situation has made it very cloudy, and I 239 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:10.759 think it later this year when Apple finally adopts the standard that will make pictures 240 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.680 and videos go across iPhone and Android easily, we're going to have less issues 241 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:22.640 and arguments about iPhone versus Android. Yeah, Android has better pick better cameras. 242 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:27.920 Right, Well, look, you know it's all a look, it 243 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.839 all depends. I think the video on the iPhone is almost professional quality. 244 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.640 I think that the camera on the iPhone is almost like point and shoot and 245 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.000 you have to think about it. But on Samsung, you know, you 246 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:44.039 do get a lot more flexibility and on the pixel the pictures are just incredible. 247 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.000 So it really just there's so many options. I think it's a good 248 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:52.079 thing. Yeah, okay, so self driving cars, let's talk about those 249 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.319 because maybe you get a bargain on one now. Yeah, it's kind of 250 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.640 interesting. So Tesla, you know, they've been touting this self driving for 251 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:02.039 years, right, and that if you buy it out right, it's about 252 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:06.319 twelve thousand dollars as a software upgrade, and if you wanted to buy it 253 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:11.279 monthly, it was two hundred dollars. But now they have slashed the price 254 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.720 and it's just ninety nine dollars a month for their full self driving, which 255 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.559 they call supervised, which means this is not an autonomous car. It doesn't 256 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.759 think for itself, but it can drive you around. So I've been testing 257 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.400 this out for the past week, and I will tell you it's incredible. 258 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:30.880 It's amazing. It's also really scary because sometimes it makes decisions that you're just 259 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.640 like what. And also, you know what it's like to drive in Los 260 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.359 Angeles. You can program all the software you want, but when someone cuts 261 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.960 you off or someone doesn't want to let you in, the car gets confused 262 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.480 and it's like, wait a second, what's happening here. It also might 263 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.960 go through a red light. It might also turn when it shouldn't. It's 264 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:52.720 really cool, but it's not one hundred percent there just yet. Okay, 265 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.319 so have you run a red light so far? We actually did that when 266 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.759 we were shooting our story for KTLA today. It just it it couldn't you 267 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.599 know how people go through the yellow light here because you can never get through 268 00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:06.000 right, so they just go at the end. Well, the car won't 269 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.160 do that, so it waited three cycles of the red light to change, 270 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:12.160 and then finally, I guess it got frustrated. It just started going when 271 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.599 the red light. When the light changed from green to red, and I 272 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:19.599 said, wait a second, what, so you have to watch this software. 273 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.279 You have to have your hands on the wheel or near the wheel. 274 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.920 When it works, it's great, but it's not like one hundred percent where 275 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.279 you can just lean back, and I think that's even more stressful. Yeah, 276 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.440 can you override it or is it in control? Yeah, it is 277 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.079 in control, but you can override it at any time. But here's the 278 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.160 thing. You're in an in between stakes. So if you've ever been in 279 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:44.079 the backseat of a taxi, are you sitting there like hovering over the steering 280 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:45.880 wheel or like wondering what kind of turn this person's going to make? I 281 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.960 mean, yeah, sometimes, but there's nothing you can do with this. 282 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:55.200 You're literally sitting there supervising every single move this car makes. That is way 283 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.680 more stressful than just driving yourself. So until this gets to a level of 284 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:02.759 full autonomy where it's like, no, you are absolutely free to just read 285 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.599 a book in your car, it's more stressful to have this software enabled than 286 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:10.400 it's not. Okay, all right, so maybe hold off on that for 287 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.000 now. But and then just going back to the price thing for a second. 288 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.240 You said you can buy a software update. So if I have a 289 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:21.640 Tesla, which I don't, but my friend Luisa has one. She could 290 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:26.039 buy the software update for the existing car that she has. Yeah, right 291 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:27.160 in the app, you can do it. It's about ten seconds, so 292 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.720 ninety nine bucks. So I think the reason why I'm talking about this because 293 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.680 a lot of people are going to try it now because of that new price 294 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.640 tag, and they're also offering a thirty day free trial to a lot of 295 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:40.640 customers, so many many people are going to try this. Just be aware, 296 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.599 this is not an autonomous car. You need to be very cognizant of 297 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.160 what this car is doing and be ready to take over and also monitor the 298 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.599 moves that it's making. Okay, all right, sounds a little bit scary, 299 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.680 And that's your segment today on KTLA if people want to check it out. 300 00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.519 Yep, watch you run a red light? Yeah yeah, yeah, 301 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.839 okay. And of course we've run out of time and didn't get to voice 302 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:11.079 notes dot com and how ai is helping us remember things. But those are 303 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.319 things you're probably going to be talking about this weekend on your show, right, 304 00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:15.720 yes, Or you can just go to my website rich on tech dot 305 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.440 tv.

All right, Thanks Amy. All right, let's get back 312 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.680 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 313 00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:48.960 Despite the sun, beaches and excellent tacos, a new UCLA survey says living 314 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.279 in la is kind of a downer. The UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs 315 00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:56.960 Quality of Life Index shows the high cost of living is a top concern for 316 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:03.240 residents. Renters are feeling pessimistic about their futures, and residents say homelessness in 317 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.519 their neighborhoods has gotten worse in the last year. Convicted former La City councilman 318 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:12.240 Jose Wezar has won four more months of freedom. A judge yesterday granted the 319 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:17.279 delay for Wezar to start serving a thirteen year prison term for accepting bribes from 320 00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:19.759 developers and cheating on his taxes. He was supposed to start a sentence at 321 00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:23.720 the end of this month. Papers filed in federal court Monday asked for a 322 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:30.920 surrender date of August thirtieth, based on undisclosed medical reasons and officials in Ukraine 323 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:34.279 and say three Russian missiles have slammed into a downtown area in northern Ukraine, 324 00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.400 hitting an eight story apartment building, killing at least eleven people. The government 325 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.359 says at least twenty two were hurt in the attack. This morning. The 326 00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:47.200 Dodgers take on the Nationals this afternoon.

Probably not this or really quick. You know, 354 00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.039 it's okay. So tell us, Isabelle, what we're going to be 355 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.839 seeing because Disney on Ice is coming to both Ontario and Long Beach, So 356 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.880 tell us about the new show.

That's why they call it Mickey's Search Party. So 366 00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:45.799 and we hear that this this show is not only on the I Spin, 367 00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:49.880 it's up in the air a little bit too. It is. It is 368 00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.799 super cool to see because not only do we have World Classic you're seating, 369 00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:59.839 but we also have acrobats and we have aerialists. So it is such a 370 00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:04.640 super super fun Okay, and you're one of the stars of this show. 371 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:08.119 So where are we going to see you as a belle? So I'm one 372 00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:11.440 of the live hosts of the show, so I will just be on the 373 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.000 ice. I'll also be in the audience, which is cool. It's quite 374 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.880 a bit of audience interaction in our show, so you never know, you 375 00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.559 just might be picked to help out with sitting tingerbell for yourself. And we 376 00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.680 are live micd so you'll get to actually hear speaking to you live and you 377 00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.839 know, maybe singing too a little bit. Oh that'll be fun. Okay, 378 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.680 So I didn't realize you were the host of the show. Look at 379 00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.319 you go. That's that's really great. And how long have you been with 380 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:42.759 with Disney on ice? I've been with Disney since twenty eighteen. I joined 381 00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:48.559 actually when Nickey Search Party was first created, So it's got such a special 382 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:53.559 place in my heart. Okay, and I'm guessing that you've been skating for 383 00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:57.839 most of your life. I have been since I was four years old, 384 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:03.720 So quell entire and what makes skating with Disney on ice so much more magical 385 00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:08.759 than any other skating I would say? I mean, when I was younger, 386 00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:11.440 I went to go see some of the Disney and I shows with my 387 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.880 family, and so ever since then, I pretty much knew that I wanted 388 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:19.480 to be a performer. I wanted to get to be involved in the Disney 389 00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:23.880 shows. I mean, there's just something about them. They're so magical, 390 00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:29.079 and I mean the people that come to see our shows are just filled with 391 00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:33.599 so much awe and magic themselves. And getting to look into the audience and 392 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.400 see kids dressed up as their favorite Disney characters and singing along to their favorite 393 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.960 songs is really so special And you just can't mask that anywhere else. That 394 00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:45.559 is true. And you know, I'm a new viewer of Coco. I'm 395 00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.759 a huge Disney fan, but I hadn't seen Coco until really recently, and 396 00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:51.880 I'm like, oh, now I get what the hype place about. That 397 00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:53.680 was a great movie. I think it's going to be fun to see that 398 00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:57.839 on ice as well. And as you mentioned, seven different shows, so 399 00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:03.640 a ton of different Disney characters that you'll get to see skating and flying around. 400 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:08.200 Yes, not to mention eleven different acrobatic elements as well. So things 401 00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:14.759 from you mentioned the Coco such a great movie, And in our Coco segment 402 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.079 of our show, we have these featured sway poles where performers climb up these 403 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:23.160 very tall poles, they stop themselves in and then they get to lean over 404 00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:26.480 the audience. They bend back and forth on these poles and they have these 405 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.960 amazing Coco skirts on and they're flowing over the audience. It's really amazing. 406 00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:33.240 You just got to be there to see it, okay, And so if 407 00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.200 I have to be there to see it, where are we going to? 408 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:40.920 Where is it?

Let's get back to some 424 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.279 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Anaheim 425 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:47.279 Dine not the Anaheim Disney Council. Speaking of Disney, the Anaheim City Council 426 00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:53.400 has approved Disneylands nearly two billion dollar expansion project Disney would have to spend tens 427 00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:57.759 of millions of dollars on street improvements, affordable housing, and other infrastructure in 428 00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:02.279 the city. The vote fallow hellowed an eight hour meeting yesterday. A second 429 00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:04.960 council vote for the final approval of Disney's plan is required in May. A 430 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.839 bill to ban homeless camps in certain areas across California has been shot down by 431 00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:12.680 the State Senate's Public Safety Committee. Under the bill, camps within five hundred 432 00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:17.960 feet of schools, transit stops, and parks would be banned. Law enforcement 433 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:21.519 would be required to give a three day heads up on sweeps and provide information 434 00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:26.119 on homeless services. State Senator Brian Jones says the bill might get another chance 435 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:29.920 at life. Taking the bill straight to the floor is certainly an option. 436 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:33.720 I will work with Senator Blakespeare and some of the other co authors over the 437 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.480 next couple of days and weeks. The bill's critics say the new laws would 438 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:42.640 criminalize homelessness and not help house more people.
