WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:07.480 You're listening to wake Up Call on demand from KFI AM six forty KFI and 2 00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:14.439 KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time for your morning wake 3 00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:26.640 up call. Here's Amy King. Hello. Hello, I'm answering the wake 4 00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.640 up call. Get it all right, it's five o'clock, straight up. 5 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:36.399 This is your wake up call for Thursday, January eighteenth. I'm Amy King. 6 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.640 Thanks for getting your day started with you with us today. I've got 7 00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:45.079 my coffee, hope you have yours. I think I'm gonna need it today. 8 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.840 Got another storm brewing, although it doesn't sound like it's going to be 9 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.200 a big one, but we do have some rain coming on coming in for 10 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.600 the weekend. That looks like chance rain Saturday Sunday. Best chance for rain 11 00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.280 is Monday. But good news as we need it, and the other good 12 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.040 news is that it's just rain. I was talking to some friends up in 13 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:10.200 Portland yesterday and literally they can't leave their homes because there's just a sheet of 14 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:14.719 ice covering kind of everything because they had freezing rain. So when the rain's 15 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.480 really cold, it freezes when it hits, so it weighs down trees, 16 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.920 breaks branches, all kinds of things. Like that, and my friend Debbie 17 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.879 said she walked out onto her front porch and about bit it because the whole 18 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.719 thing is just a sheet of ice. So lots of people working from home, 19 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.840 kids not in school. I'll take some rain in southern California. It's 20 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.400 not so bad. Here's what's ahead on wake up call. Governor Newsom has 21 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.239 broken with his party and he says he'll veto a bill that bans tackle football 22 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.000 for kids under twelve. The bill has been making its way through the state 23 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.400 legislature, but with the veto threat, it's essentially dead. Newsom SA's parents 24 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.000 should have the freedom to decide which sports are most appropriate for their kids. 25 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.599 The US has launched another round of air strikes against Iranian backed Hoothi rebels who've 26 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.439 been attacked king ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden for weeks. 27 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.719 US officials say the Navy used Tomahawk missiles to target fourteen Hoothy missile launchers. 28 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:14.759 Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has been detained in Germany after he arrived there on a 29 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.199 flight from la He was held for about three hours, apparently for not declaring 30 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.960 a luxury watch he was wearing. The terminator Star says he's selling the watch 31 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.479 at a charity auction in Austria. He apparently had to pay thirty eight thousand 32 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.919 dollars including taxes and penalties before he was released at six oh five. It's 33 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:36.319 handle on the news. Texas is refusing to comply with the federal government at 34 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.240 the border. Hmm, that's going to set up an interesting showdown. Let's 35 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.039 get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 36 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.840 newsroom. A teenager in Riverside County's been arrested for allegedly taking a loaded gun 37 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.400 to school. A Sheriff's deputy assigned to Paris High School was notified yesterday about 38 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.639 a teenager with a gun on campus. Officials say the boy was taken into 39 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.159 custody and a search turned up a loaded firearm were made towards students or staff. 40 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.000 The OC Sheriff is asking for help to identify additional women who may have 41 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.599 been attacked by a guide tied to for sexual assault. A case in Stanton 42 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.680 was able to be tied by OC Sheriff's investigator Austin Jones to an older case 43 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.960 in the same city, which then led to cases in La and Long Beach 44 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:22.280 twenty eighteen was the earliest case I could find. Jones says Sieveya was arrested 45 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.520 last week for the alleged sexual assaults that date all the way up to last 46 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:30.000 November. We have charges of kidnapping with the intent to commit sexual assault, 47 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.560 forced oral population. We have a charge of raid, and there's also charges 48 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.599 of assault with the Dudley weapon. He says, any info reported could help 49 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.560 keep the alleged attacker off the street. In Orange County, Corbin Carson k 50 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.199 if I knew Yally City Council is working to improve the city's response to a 51 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:50.240 toxic algae bloom that has sickened or killed more than one thousand marine animals along 52 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.520 the coast of southern California. The toxic algae largely affects sea lions and dolphins. 53 00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:00.159 The city's motion focuses on providing resources to the marine mammal caress. I'm 54 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.080 a center in San Pedro so it can respond to future algae blooms. Former 55 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.360 President Trump followed a day in court in New York with a rally in Portsmouth, 56 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:14.199 New Hampshire. He told supporters the defamation case against him in New York 57 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.480 and his multiple indictments are just political attacks. Every time the radical left, 58 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:24.879 Democrats, Marxists, communists, and fascists indict me, I considered a great 59 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.639 badge of honored. You know, I've been indicted more than al Capone. 60 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.000 Trump urged voters yesterday to support him by a wide margin, so the other 61 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:38.839 side can't cheat. New Hampshire's primary is Tuesday, January twenty third. Let's 62 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:44.800 say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen, Congressional leaders met yesterday. 63 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.040 So what did they talk about and did they accomplish anything? Well, 64 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:53.839 I can tell you what they talked about. They accomplish anything. We'll figure 65 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.959 that out over the next couple of days, maybe weeks, but no. 66 00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.360 Leaders came out of the meeting with the President at the White House and called 67 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.319 it productive and positive. So, you know, a nice little spin on 68 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:08.319 it from both sides, Republicans and Democrats, and the White House had said 69 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.000 going into the meeting it was about Ukraine. The President brought them all down 70 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.160 to the White House to talk about Ukraine, to stress the urgency of getting 71 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.879 aids Ukraine approved and to talk about what is at stake now. The group 72 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.319 that was there, I mean these were the leaders from both parties, Democrats, 73 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:28.120 Republicans from the House and Senate, but also the top members on the 74 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.519 Armed Services Committee, the Foreign Affairs Committee, and the Intelligence committees. These 75 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.319 are people that understand the stakes in Ukraine. Certainly, these are not the 76 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:41.720 folks that are negotiating any border changes. Those members were not included in yesterday's 77 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.519 meeting, and that was pretty notable that that's the sticking point right now, 78 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:50.199 getting some big changes to border policy to unlock Republican support for Ukraine AID. 79 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:56.360 That was not the White House plan yesterday to have this be a border negotiation, 80 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.639 but no surprise, it was a big part of the conversation based on 81 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.600 what lawmakers said afterwards, and that's because House Speaker Mike Johnson made it very 82 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:10.560 clear for Republicans that's still the deal breaker. Even a minority leader, Mitch 83 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.800 McConnell, was saying, you know, we still are insisting that this is 84 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.399 a big part of it. So do they accomplish anything, Well, they 85 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:21.079 said that there's progress. The President afterwards said he was cleansed with how negotiations 86 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:26.360 are going, but in terms of a deal yet to unlock that Ukraine AID 87 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.160 and reaching a deal on border security that hasn't happened yet. I think it's 88 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.879 interesting that they're doing this. I mean, I understand they want to hammer 89 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:40.959 the point home that Ukraine needs attention, but with the Republicans and the Republican 90 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.920 leadership saying it's got to have border security tied to it, it kind of 91 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.519 wasn't even on the table yesterday. It seems like, what's the point of 92 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.439 it. They're not going to change their mind on that. It was a 93 00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.279 lot of the questioning at the White House briefing yesterday of why is the President 94 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.519 doing this? If you know what the sticking point is right now, you 95 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:08.160 know, why is he bringing them here to have this conversation about Ukraine when 96 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:12.560 Mitch McDonald has said he understood, he fully supports aid to Ukraine, even 97 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.920 how Speaker Mike Johnson has said, they want to get aid to Ukraine, 98 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.920 but it's how you do it, and that is not something that the President's 99 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.360 been involved in. He's not part of the border negotiations. It's taking place 100 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.240 in the Senate. Now. The other interesting part of this is that, 101 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.639 as I just said, it's taking place in the Senate. Bipart is in 102 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:33.240 border negotiations. House members Republicans have made it clear they're not just going to 103 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.680 take whatever agreed to in the Senate and say great, we're going to not 104 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.560 pass this because they haven't been involved in this and they want something that's far 105 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.040 more conservative. But senators Republicans who are involved in this say like they're just 106 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.759 going to have to deal because that's just how Washington is working right now. 107 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:53.639 There's divided governments and it can't just be what the Republicans in the House want 108 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.079 to get done. Yeah, and I thought Chuck Chumer, the Majority leader, 109 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.199 yesterday came out and he said that he said, if we pass thing, 110 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.879 it's going to have to be bipartisan. We can't do it any other 111 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.600 way. And also it was hopeful on his party said, I think we 112 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.920 have about a fifty percent chance of passing something, which he said is the 113 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.199 is the most positive he's been in a while, which is decent. I 114 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.839 guess we like those odds fifty you see at this point, I guess it's 115 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.639 a decent chance, you know, and think for the president. Afterwards, 116 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.959 the White House said, you know, one thing that the President really impressed 117 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.360 on them is that they got to do this quickly. You know, they 118 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.639 were trying to do this before the end of the year. The White House 119 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.519 was saying, you know, the White House, the Administration would run out 120 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.519 of funding to give equipment supplies aid to Ukraine. At the end of twenty 121 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.720 twenty three. That came and went and there was no new funding from Congress. 122 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.120 The US has sent the last aid package of security assistance that they can 123 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.559 to Ukraine and they don't have the ability to send more until Congress approves more 124 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.960 funding. Okay, So now I have a question for you, technical question, 125 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.360 just to make sure because it's so convoluted. Okay, So the government 126 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.720 it runs out of money on Friday, But did they pass that continuing resolution? 127 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.279 And is that one hundred and six billion dollars part of that or is 128 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.480 that a whole different ballgame. I'll start with the second one. It's not 129 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.559 part of it. It's a whole different ball game. Those are completely different 130 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.879 negotiations. That's separate than backing up. The Senate is expected to pass the 131 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:26.120 continuing Resolution today and get it maybe kind of fast tracked it yesterday and get 132 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.759 it over to the House today and then the House would take it up as 133 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.759 quickly as possible. They have until midnight tomorrow night into Saturday. But we 134 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.200 haven't some bad weather coming tomorrow, I mean bad for us, like maybe 135 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.120 two inches of snow in DC. But that's going to cause some issues. 136 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.159 So the sense is the House might want to get this done today so lawmakers 137 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.559 can get out of town tonight or at least earlier tomorrow. Two inches of 138 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.200 snow come on, that's not something we have, like one snowplow in all 139 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.320 of DC. We had four inches of snow the other day and my street 140 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.679 never got plowed. So it just doesn't happen. Okay, well, we'll 141 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.679 be watching. Thank you for clearing that up again. It's there's so many 142 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.559 little pieces and cogs and all of that stuff, and we so appreciate that 143 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.039 you're there to help us sort it out. Thank you. All right, 144 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.360 Thanks Karen, we'll talk to you soon. Let's get back to some of 145 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.960 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. La City Fire 146 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:22.159 is actively preparing for earthquakes in southern California. Thirty years after the deadly six 147 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.080 point seven magnitude earthquake hit Northridge, firefighters are training for the next big one. 148 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.919 Captain Eric Scott says that includes using canines for live rescues and heavy machinery 149 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.759 first responders didn't have in nineteen ninety four. They will break and breach, 150 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.080 meaning that they're going to cut apart all that concrete. They're gonna make holes 151 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.039 to be able to effect a rescue. That's the first thing. Firefighters held 152 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.559 rescue demonstrations yesterday using camera scopes with a three sixty view that can squeeze into 153 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.799 tight spaces to see if anyone's trapped. LA City Fire says it's crucial for 154 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.399 community members to get themselves prepared. Chris Adler KFI News, a man from 155 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:03.120 Santa Monica who used his cryptocurrency Cash Extente exchange business to illegally launder millions of 156 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.840 dollars, has been sentenced to four months in federal prison. He'll be on 157 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:11.840 supervised release for two years after that. The US Attorney's Office says from twenty 158 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.759 seventeen to twenty one, the man operated a company offering non regulated crypto exchange 159 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:22.480 services through kiosks around southern California. The Feds say he took steps to conceal 160 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.720 the large transactions from the government. GOP US Senate candidate and Major League Baseball 161 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.360 legend Steve Garvey says what he learned on the Diamond prepared him to be California's 162 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.799 next US senator. BIP teams and played for great players and managers, won 163 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:43.360 world championships, and learned how to work with people. And I think that's 164 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.159 so important that we just don't see that I by our elected officials. The 165 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.759 former Dodger toured homeless camps in Sacramento yesterday, saying we need to know where 166 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.840 all the money for the homeless is going. Garvey is running for the seat 167 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.320 held by the late Diane Feinstein. He says too many politicians are more concerned 168 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:03.559 about running for the next job than doing the one they were elected for. 169 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.440 California starts voting by mail in a few weeks for the March fifth primary. 170 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.360 The US has carried out a new retaliatory strike against Huthi targets in Yemen. 171 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:16.320 The Pentagon says the air strike destroyed missiles that were posing a threat to ships 172 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.399 in the Red Sea. It's the fourth time the US military has targeted the 173 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:26.600 Huthis in less than a week. ABC's m Wins says the strike happened hours 174 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.960 after the Pentagon said a Huthi drone attacked a US cargo ship about seventy miles 175 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.039 off the coast of Yemen. The Huthis say the attacks will stop when Israel 176 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:41.240 stops its offensive in Gaza. Pakistan's air force has launched retaliatory strikes in Iran. 177 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.000 Pakistan's foreign affairs spokesperson says the strikes were in response to Iran's attack on 178 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:52.559 Pakistani soil Tuesday that killed two children. Pakistan undertook a series of highly coordinated 179 00:12:52.000 --> 00:13:01.960 and specifically targeted precision military strikes against terrorist hideouts and Sista Ano Blushistan province Offan. 180 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.679 The strikes early this morning killed at least nine people and further raised tensions 181 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.440 between the two countries. They also raised the threat of violence spreading in the 182 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.159 Middle East. The Tustin Animal Shelter has relaxed some of its rules in hopes 183 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.759 of getting more pets adopted. That's always a good thing. Since the pandemic, 184 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:24.039 Orange County Animal Care has required people to view pets online and then make 185 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.960 an appointment. If they wanted to meet a potential pet in person, you 186 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.799 could just walk in well. The relaxed rules will once again allow people to 187 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.879 walk through the kennels anytime without an appointment seven days a week. Former Meta 188 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.519 Chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg will be leaving the company's board of directors. She 189 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.840 posted on Facebook yesterday that she will not be seeking reelection to the post in 190 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.799 May. Sandberg joined Facebook now Meta back in two thousand and eight after spending 191 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.600 seven years at Google. California is one of twelve states offering the iris's new 192 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.559 direct file. It's different from the current free file program because it's open to 193 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.879 taxpayer of all incomes. The test program allows taxpayers to submit federal returns for 194 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:09.399 free starting January twenty ninth, and then redirects them to a site on how 195 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.480 to file state returns At six o five. It's handle on the news. 196 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.480 You might want to think twice before going out for oyster appetizers. Bill will 197 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.039 tell you why. But right now, let's say good morning too, the 198 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.840 host of Rich on Tech right here on KFI KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro, 199 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.039 Good morning, Rich, Good morning to you. Amy. Okay, so 200 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:35.200 you have a new piece of tech gear that you say could be life changing 201 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.279 in the entertainment world. Yeah, well I don't have it just yet. 202 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:45.000 I wish I had one, But you've seen it one of the one of 203 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.759 the chosen few to get to go to Apple's headquarters and check out this new 204 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:54.799 Apple Vision Pro. This was my second time trying it out. And this 205 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.240 too, right, what's that You saw it at CES two? Right? 206 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.200 No? Apple, Well, I saw a lot of these similar devices, 207 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.879 but this is you know, Apple doesn't go to CES. They're too good 208 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.720 for that. Come on, they do their own thing. And so you 209 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.639 know they've been inviting some media into take a second look, or maybe a 210 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.759 third look or a fourth look, depending on who you are at this Vision 211 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.960 Pro headset. This is launching pre orders tomorrow morning, goes on sale for 212 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.639 thirty five hundred dollars. Available next week or sorry, in two weeks, 213 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.600 I should say February. Second. And you know it's this headset that is 214 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:37.240 a VRAR headset, and they are positioning it as a spatial computer. But 215 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.840 I will tell you my big takeaway from this is that this is an entertainment 216 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.720 device. It is really incredible. I watched movies in three D, I 217 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:50.080 looked at pictures in three D, videos in three D, and I took 218 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.559 a part in f one car. So there's like learning capabilities in this thing. 219 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.279 It's really really cool. I just think it's a very tough sell for 220 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:02.039 the average person to spend four thousand dollars including tax on something that is completely 221 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.960 unproven and more expensive than a computer. Yeah, okay, So I want 222 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.639 to talk a little bit more about what it does, because you said, 223 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.519 like you watched a movie on it. So do you put the headset on 224 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:17.559 and you don't need a movie screen or are you watching it and it turns 225 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:21.519 the movie that you're watching on a screen into three D? Yeah? So 226 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:25.519 basically, it's a headset that is fully enclosed, okay, and there's two 227 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:29.159 little like screens inside. Each one is like the equivalent of a four K 228 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.240 TV screen, but you know, they're really close up to your eye, 229 00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:34.960 and so your eyes kind of merge them together and giving you this three D 230 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:41.320 spatial effect, which means you can look all around and everything is you know, 231 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.480 made make belief. Now, you can also see the world around you. 232 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.639 That's the augmented reality part. So it's a little complicated because you can 233 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:52.559 either see stuff superimposed on the world around you, or you can completely shut 234 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.039 out the outside world and just sit there and watch, you know, a 235 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.639 movie on a giant screen in three D and it really wasn't oppressive. It's 236 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.640 very clear, it's snappy. If the operating system is familiar, you control 237 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.920 everything just with your fingers by like moving them, pinching them. Kind of 238 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:14.880 very minority reports ish. So Apple's done their homework and they've done a really 239 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.559 good job, and this is an incredibly transformative device. Again, it's just 240 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:26.799 very expensive but a super fun toy. I want to sit there. I 241 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.599 was like, I could just sit here every day for an hour and just 242 00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.880 sit inside this thing and watch movies, watch YouTube, whatever. And I 243 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.440 was trying to justify it. I'm like, well, TV is expensive, 244 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:38.079 but not this expensive. And this is, by the way, for one 245 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.359 person at a time. Yeah, that's the other thing. You can't share 246 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.319 it with anybody else. It's very isolating. Yeah, exactly, you got 247 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.400 to one head in there at a time, and I'm sure the family would 248 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.039 be fighting over who gets to be in there, especially if you have teenage 249 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:59.640 kids. Okay, so speaking of isolating apples, apples poor I Watch is 250 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.279 isolate because they're pulling it off store shelves. Again, Well, this is 251 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.039 where it gets so complicated. So it's the Apple Watch series nine and the 252 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.759 Ultra two. They have this blood oxygen technology that is in a patent dispute 253 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:17.880 with this Irvine based company Massimo. And you know, it's back and forth, 254 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:19.640 back and forth, back and forth. Apple will not let down on 255 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.519 this thing. They won't settle. And so now again, starting today, 256 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.960 it is banned from sale in the US. This is the Ultra nine and 257 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.599 the Ultra two. But really it's only banned for that one feature. So 258 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.160 what Apple is going to do is still ship the same watch, just it's 259 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:38.440 going to have a software. The software is different, and the software keeps 260 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.799 you from using the blood oxygen sensor. So if you try to, if 261 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.799 you buy one of these watches today, they're still available at the stores. 262 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.160 If you buy one today, if you open up the blood Oxygen app, 263 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.559 it will say the blood Oxygen app is no longer available. Learn more in 264 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.559 the health app. If you have an existing Apple Watch, apparently you're not 265 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:02.160 impacted, and so the only applies to new sales. At this point, 266 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.319 the dispute is ongoing. Apple is trying to do their best to keep these 267 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:11.039 watches, which are very popular, on sale, but also satisfy the requirements 268 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.640 of this band until they settle somehow. Okay, and you said Apple is 269 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.039 basically not backing down, doesn't want to settle, but so massimode, do 270 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:22.559 they just want to pay out? Do we know? You know, I 271 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.799 think that the company actually has pretty reasonable intentions. They truly feel that Apple 272 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:33.640 stole or somehow took this technology from them. Apple apparently hired all whole bunch 273 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.839 of their workers and engineers, and so there's more to the story than just 274 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.680 Apple came out with a very similar feature to what they make. But again, 275 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.240 you know, that's for the courts to decide, not me, okay, 276 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:49.359 And in the meantime, does Apple have several watches, several different models, 277 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.240 just like they do with the phones, like you can you can still 278 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.960 get like an iPhone twelve, But well, it's interesting usually with Apple, 279 00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.119 they with the iPhones, yes, they will sell different versions. With this, 280 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:06.359 they're only actually actively selling those two main models and then the Apple Watch 281 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:11.000 SE so you can get third party you know that the earlier models through like 282 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.400 a Verizon or an AT and T or a best Buy, but Apple officially 283 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:18.319 through their website only sells the Ultra to the Series nine and the Apple Watch 284 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.640 SE. Of course, you can get the other models through any other third 285 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.920 party website. That still sell them. Okay, and then let's talk about 286 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:33.359 going incognito. Yeah, so apparently going incognito is not as private as many 287 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.920 people believed, and so okay, so first of all, what is it? 288 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.359 Yeah, so incognito is a feature that was made popular on the Chrome 289 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:47.079 web browser that you can open up a window that is called an incognito window. 290 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:48.839 And basically, most people were led to believe that this does not save 291 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:53.240 your browsing history and anything you do inside that window. As soon as you 292 00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:57.200 close it, no one can see that. Well, it turns out the 293 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:03.160 way this actually works is that your computer does not keep a record of what 294 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.480 you're doing, but the websites can still see who you are, and they 295 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:10.480 can still track you, and they can still crosstrack you, and they can 296 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:15.799 and even Google knows what you're doing on these other websites. And so this 297 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:18.519 comes as a surprise to many people, and of course Google is settling a 298 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.640 lawsuit related to it, and now they're going to change the wording. It 299 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.000 looks like when you open up an incognito browser, it will say, look, 300 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.480 you know, the stuff you do here can still be seen by other 301 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.359 people. It's just not saved to your computer, and so you just have 302 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:40.119 to be very careful with privacy related things, because you know, not everything 303 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:41.720 nothing you do on the web is truly private. Let's say that way. 304 00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.680 I would add one thing, amy, if you're going to use incognito mode, 305 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.920 I would toggle on the setting that says block third party cookies. That 306 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:55.559 will definitely help some of your activity become less tracked across various websites. Okay, 307 00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.480 but I'm going to go off of your last comment that just assume if 308 00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:02.559 you're on the Internet, it's not private pretty much. I mean, it's 309 00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:06.160 really really tough to remain private on the Internet. I mean, there are 310 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:07.799 ways, but it's tricky. All right. Well, I'm gonna let you 311 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.960 go, so you can go find yourself in an Apple Vision Pro and go 312 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.799 play with it for a while. We I will never leave. If I 313 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.119 buy one, you will never see me again. All right. Well, 314 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:21.279 then I hope you don't buy one, because we want to talk to you 315 00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.720 again this week and next week. And then of course, you can always 316 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:29.359 listen to KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro and host of Rich on Tech right here 317 00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:33.640 on KFI Saturdays from eleven to two. You can also follow Rich do you 318 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.160 have some fun videos of the vision pro Are they letting you take pictures of 319 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.200 it yet? Yeah? I got I got myself in a picture, so 320 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:41.960 you can comment on what you think. How dumb I look at it? 321 00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.519 Oh? I love it? Okay. So that's on Instagram at rich on 322 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.839 tech and his website is rich on tech dot tv. Thanks so much, 323 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.720 Rich all right, thanks Amy. All right, let's get back to some 324 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.960 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Governor Newsom 325 00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.559 says he's going to veto a bill that would ban kids under twelve from playing 326 00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:03.319 tackle footballs. He is deeply concerned about the health and safety of young athletes, 327 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.559 but an outright ban isn't the answer. He says. Youth football should 328 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.400 be safe while encouraging parents have the freedom to decide which sports are most appropriate 329 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.599 for their kids. Now. That bill has been making its way through the 330 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.880 state legislature, but with the governor threatening to veto, it's essentially dead. 331 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:25.319 Pasadena and La County are offering money for tips to stop copper wire theft. 332 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:30.079 Twenty thousand dollars in reward money has been made available to combat the rising issue. 333 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.920 Pasadena's had six and a half miles of copper wires stolen in the last 334 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:37.160 year. Police Chief Jean Harris says six arrests have been made, but it 335 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.519 just keeps on proliferating. I think the word has gotten out and it is 336 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.000 our job to kind of put a stop to that and we will take care 337 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.400 of that. Pasadenas had to repair three hundred and sixty street lights and two 338 00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:51.160 traffic signals because of the thefts. The repairs have cost the city more than 339 00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:56.880 fifty thousand dollars in Pasadena Blake Trolley kaf I news Immigration has divided California Democrats. 340 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.680 According to a new UC Berkeley poll, it shows just over half of 341 00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.680 Democratic voters say the border is secure, thirty percent say it is not. 342 00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:08.440 They're also split on the question of whether illegal immigrants create a burden for the 343 00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:12.920 country. Republicans a lot more unified, with eighty percent saying the border is 344 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:18.359 not secure compared to eight percent who say it is. Governor Newsom has broken 345 00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.640 with his party says he will veto a bill that bans tackle football for kids 346 00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:23.880 under twelve. The bill's been making its way through the legislature, but with 347 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:29.240 the veto threat, it's essentially dead Newsom says parents should have the freedom to 348 00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:33.400 decide which sports are most appropriate for their children. The US has launched another 349 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.880 round of air strikes against Iranian BacT Houthi rebels who've been attacking ships in the 350 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.799 Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. US officials say the Navy used Tomahawk missiles 351 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.160 to target fourteen hoy missile launchers. The strikes came just hours after the US 352 00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:53.680 said that it would be designating the Houthis once again as an official terrorist group. 353 00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:00.079 Open AI bans the apps, but people are still searching the apps in 354 00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:06.400 the new chat GPT store for girlfriends. In the US. Data dot ai 355 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:11.279 shows seven of the thirty AI chatbots app chatbot apps downloaded last year from the 356 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:18.119 Apple or Google store were related to AI friends, girlfriends, or companions. 357 00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.920 Gonness Dad. At five point fifty, we're going to get the latest on 358 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:26.559 two of the royals being out of commission for a little bit. Right now, 359 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:32.119 let's say good morning to ABC's crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett. Good 360 00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:34.279 morning, Brad. It sounds like Washington, DC's kind of like California. 361 00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:41.799 People are leaving in droves, and maybe not for the same reasons, but 362 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:45.960 clearly it's become an issue here. Amy. There was a recent article on 363 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:52.839 the Wall Street Journal. We talked about a number of restaurant owners packing up 364 00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.680 and moving to Maryland or Virginia, and mainly because I mean, if you 365 00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:02.559 look at you know, the homicide rate, the national average is six point 366 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:07.400 three per hundred thousand. In the District of Columbia, it's forty per hundred 367 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.559 thousand, oh like, so five times higher than the normal, the national 368 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:17.079 average exactly. I mean, I have to take you to l Salvador and 369 00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:22.240 Honduras to come up with potentially a higher homicide rate than that. So you 370 00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.720 start with that, then you overlay that with almost a thousand and I'm saying 371 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:34.400 a thousand carjackings in DC last year, of which they've only sold maybe one 372 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:40.319 hundred and seventy of them. And so you know, I mean, it 373 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.759 erode your tax base. I mean, I'm actually concerned about the DC in 374 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:52.000 that regard. Homicides had become an unbelievable problem. When I first came to 375 00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.200 DEC in nineteen ninety, it was a lot higher than it is now, 376 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.599 and we figured out a way to get it down. You know, some 377 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.480 of the units that I worked with back then are still there, some of 378 00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.599 them aren't. And it's a combination. When you look at crime, it's 379 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:12.880 all driven by, you know, the following where is it concentrated, Where 380 00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:18.880 are the offenders concentrated? Who do you have in those communities? You know, 381 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.519 a place like Los Angeles obviously is so diverse. You know, who 382 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.160 do you have that can work in certain neighborhoods? For the violence is going 383 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.160 on From a language relationship standpoint, I mean, it gets complicated, but 384 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:36.599 you have to have dedicated units like gang units, gun units, repeat offender 385 00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.279 units, and they all have to work together, and so they're all in 386 00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.880 the same sheet of music. Then you have to have the prosecutor and the 387 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:52.400 courts you know, also at least with the same drum beat. And that's 388 00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.400 what gets out of whack between the city council here who make the laws. 389 00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.440 Now Congress could overrule them, but they make the laws. You know, 390 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.480 they've liberated stuff in recent years that some people believe it's coming back to bite 391 00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:11.599 us, liberalizing bail laws, et cetera. Didn't They also reduce penalties for 392 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:18.160 carjacking recently, well they did in the past. But the thing about carjackings 393 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:25.400 is that it's a federal crime also, so which you know, the DC 394 00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:30.880 Council can't control. That's you know, that's federal. It's being prosecuted federally. 395 00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:36.200 The problem obviously is that a huge chunk of that one thousand number I 396 00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:44.920 said are juveniles and young teenagers, so which can be more complicated to prosecute 397 00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:49.359 federally because they don't have the facilities for federal folks. But now they're finally 398 00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:55.759 talking about that some of these super violent carjackers they need to prosecute them as 399 00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:59.599 adults, which I think most people agree with. But you know, it's 400 00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:04.359 a pen some one that will swing back to a better side. But it's 401 00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:07.759 going to take a while, but it's certainly going to take a coordinated effort, 402 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:12.039 of which at this point I don't see what would it take. When 403 00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.240 you say a coordinated effort, like, what would it take to really focus 404 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:21.599 on getting these numbers down. You'd have to get the DC police, which 405 00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:26.440 I think at this point have their own morale problems. They're down hundreds of 406 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:30.559 officers, so they're having a retention problem, they're having a recruitment problem. 407 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.480 So you start with that, and how do you remedy that that's tricky. 408 00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.519 You know, the number of people who want to be cops detectives' agents today 409 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.119 are less than they were years ago. And that's not DC only, that's 410 00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:49.079 like everywhere. Well, I'm sure it's an issue in California. Yeah, 411 00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:55.880 it. I mean, it's just because people see what happened after George Floyd. 412 00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:59.640 They have their own reality or perception of what that is or is not 413 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:06.240 as far as law enforcement and how law enforcement was treated after that occurred, 414 00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:11.799 and it sours people. And I think many people believe that the system will 415 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.920 hang you out to dry if you get involved in a shooting or some you 416 00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:19.759 know, legitimate action where because the reality is, if you're a street cop 417 00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:23.400 in some place like La or La County or even here in d C, 418 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:30.480 you know you're going to have to pull your gun with maybe not regularity, 419 00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.920 but you're gonna have to You're gonna have to have tense situations with people that 420 00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:38.599 may result in somebody getting shot. And I mean that's just part of this 421 00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:45.079 job. But you know, getting people to say, well that's okay, 422 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.960 but then I'm going to get prosecuted. You know, it's not okay now, 423 00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:53.079 granted, I mean George Floyd's probably a bad example, and that that's 424 00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:59.839 just sort of a no brainer about who gets prosecuted there. Shootings, you 425 00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:03.799 know, can kind of go when you look at them one way or the 426 00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:08.279 other. But many times they're they're correct. The police didn't really have a 427 00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:12.839 choice, and so yeah, that's part of the part of the problem. 428 00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:18.720 But all I'm suggesting is you do have to have this coordinated effort. It 429 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:25.200 has to you know, fit your demographics. Yours, you d or LA 430 00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:29.200 are clearly different than what we have in Washington, d C. Yes, 431 00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:33.359 but it does sound a lot like San Francisco, where there's just rampant crime. 432 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.359 Businesses are leaving, they're boarded up because it's so bad, and it's 433 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.279 just become this cesspool because the crime rate has just gotten so crazy out of 434 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:47.680 control. Yeah. Yeah, And I'm only going to suggest that if you 435 00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:51.599 let it go too far, you're going to have trouble bringing it back. 436 00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:56.039 I mean, to your point, A number of experts have suggested that San 437 00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.119 Francisco is probably maybe gone too far. I hope not. It's a great 438 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:06.720 place, but it's a big concern. So what can be done now to 439 00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:12.759 start reversing the trend? Brad. So every city, and obviously we're talking 440 00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.680 about DC in particular, yep is you have to look at, for example, 441 00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:22.680 when I was working homicides here, you know, a large chunk of 442 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.680 the homicides occurred in a certain part of town, and it's just the reality. 443 00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:30.599 The same thing will be true in LA And so you have to figure 444 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:36.599 out through intelligence, through sources, through whatever means, through the FEDS of 445 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:42.599 who you're actually looking for another is looking for, not saying you can charge 446 00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:45.680 them at this point, but clearly are the primary suspects and X number of 447 00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:50.799 homicides, x number of car jackings, and you have to have a unit, 448 00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:54.680 which DC used to call I'm going to still call it that a repeat 449 00:32:54.720 --> 00:33:02.480 offender unit that basically can go after people who repetitively commit violent crime, our 450 00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:08.440 street crime, and just work it until you get a decent case against them, 451 00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:12.480 because you're going to get one if you work it, because they're going 452 00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:19.240 to keep committing violent crime. There's things like that. So the overlay is 453 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.599 you get all these units to work together, you get the prosecutors they're willing 454 00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:27.480 to prosecute them, and the judges that are willing to sentence them. That 455 00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:30.960 all has to come into play, and it looks like to me at least 456 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:36.279 in DC that's out of whack. Yeah, lots of spokes on the wheel 457 00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:38.119 and a lot of things have to kind of fall into place. But hopefully 458 00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:42.720 DC will get exact together. I think, you know, in southern California 459 00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:45.680 they're trying, they're cracking down on retail thereafts, they're doing some stuff because 460 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:50.039 it has gotten out of control here too. So hopefully we'll see the trend 461 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:52.279 rivers where you are as well. Brad Garrett, thank you so much for 462 00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:55.519 your time and your insight.

All right, let's get back to some of the 465 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.839 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The protesters who shut 466 00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:12.639 down the Bay Bridge calling for a ceasefire in the Israel Hamas war have asked 467 00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:17.079 San Francisco's DA to drop the charges. They say the charges against them from 468 00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:22.360 the November incident are egregious, but they doubled down on their mission so that 469 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:27.800 no business happens as usual during a genocide and during the death and destruction of 470 00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.960 a whole people and a population. The group faces six months in prison if 471 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:36.840 convicted on the five charges against them that include false imprisonment. The protesters say 472 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:39.599 they're being held to a different standard than other protesters around the country. They'll 473 00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:44.840 be in court again next month. Alt right hate group hackers have been blamed 474 00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:50.280 for flooding uc irvine chat rooms with gory content that included mutilated corpses. The 475 00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:53.639 reaction to this has been understandably pretty severe. You see Irvine Student online Community 476 00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:59.280 coordinator Elena Kim says the bloody videos and images included animals and children. I've 477 00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:02.119 heard reports of studtudents who were reportedly hospitalized as a result of excessive vomiting, 478 00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:07.559 panic attacks, traumatic responses. Kim says three thousand students were impacted during the 479 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:10.760 attack last week that lasted for four days. She says the group responsible wants 480 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.360 attention so will not be named publicly. A student was able to build a 481 00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:20.320 bot that automatically deleted the hacker profiles at UC Irvine. Corbin Carson kf I 482 00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:24.840 News NBA player Josh Giddy will not face criminal charges over an alleged relationship with 483 00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:30.440 an underage girl Newport Beach Police say they completed their investigation into the accusations against 484 00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:36.119 the twenty one year old player, who is playing with the Oklahoma City Thunder, 485 00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:40.000 and found no corroborating evidence. The department says it is committed to ensuring 486 00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:44.920 accurate information is passed onto the public while also making sure the rights of all 487 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:51.000 those involved are upheld. The In and Out Burger has been named one of 488 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.599 the best places to work in a study by Glassdoor. The local Burger change 489 00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:59.800 a chain rather ranked sixth on Glassdoor's twenty twenty four best places to work. 490 00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.719 In and Out employees say pay, benefits, and flexibility make the company a 491 00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:08.400 great employer. In and Out ranked higher than Google, Microsoft, and Apple. 492 00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:15.639 Business business consulting firm Bain and Company was number one and probably pays a 493 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:20.159 little bit better. Kevinor Newsom will be in Orange County today to give an 494 00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:23.239 update on efforts to end homelessness. He says more than fourteen thousand affordable homes 495 00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:28.039 are being built in California, and that's just through the Homekey program. Last 496 00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:31.159 month, five more communities got money to convert former hotels, motels, and 497 00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:37.159 office space into housing. Former Meta chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg is going to 498 00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:40.320 be leaving the company's board of directors, she posted on Facebook yesterday. She 499 00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:45.960 will not be seeking reelection to the post in May. Sandberg joined Facebook now 500 00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:51.360 Meta back in two thousand and eight after spending seven years at Google. California 501 00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:55.400 is one of twelve states offering the IRS's new direct file program. It's different 502 00:36:55.400 --> 00:37:00.519 from the current freele free file program because it is open to taxpayers of all 503 00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:05.920 incomes. The IRS plans to eventually put the program in place nationwide. For 504 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.880 now, it's in California and eleven other states, and will allow taxpayers to 505 00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:15.559 submit federal returns for free starting on January twenty ninth. We're just minutes away 506 00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:19.159 from handle on the news this morning. Hope you'll stick around for it. 507 00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:22.599 Governor Newsom has broken with his party. He says he'll kill a bill that 508 00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:28.039 would tackle football in California for kids under twelve. Actually wouldn't tackle football. 509 00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:30.679 It would ban tackle football in California for kids under twelve. Right now, 510 00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:37.280 let's say good morning to ABC's Tom Rivers in London. Tom, a couple 511 00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:39.960 of Royals are going to be out of commission for a bit. Yeah, 512 00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:43.760 this was kind of a shocker, you know, they say you wait for 513 00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:45.760 buses and never come and then two come along, one behind the other, 514 00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:51.400 and that's kW of it played out. Yesterday got the word first that Kate, 515 00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:57.360 Princess of Wales actually had an operation on Tuesday. All they're saying it 516 00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:02.400 was abdominal surgery. But she's going to be at the hospital at the London 517 00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:07.440 Clinic for about ten days to fourteen days, so something pretty serious. And 518 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.320 then when she gets out she's going to recoup that home for about two to 519 00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:15.440 three months. So we called over to the palace, Kensington Palace today and 520 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:21.679 they said, you know, she's doing well. Prince William was visiting her 521 00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:27.159 in hospital about two three hours ago and as they say as well very importantly 522 00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:32.880 it is not not cancerous, so a lengthy recovery but fingers crossed everything fine 523 00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:37.800 for her. And then about an hour and a half after disclosure yesterday, 524 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:43.480 find out that the King Charles is going to be going in for a procedure 525 00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:49.920 that's the word they're using for an enlarged prostate next week. So yeah, 526 00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:55.440 two big medical stories on the royal front here and King I know that Charles 527 00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:59.280 said, or the spokesperson said, oh, you know, this is a 528 00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:02.920 really common thing, so they're downplaying that as well. Yeah, you know 529 00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:07.360 they're downplaying that. In fact, you know, we're kind of used to 530 00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:12.079 the first story with Kate with the palace, not disclosing a whole lot, 531 00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:15.800 keeping a pretty broad stroke. But Charles told his people get it out there, 532 00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:20.760 because he said, look, a lot of guys over fifty have problems 533 00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:23.840 with enlarged prostate. Get it out there, he says, to tell them 534 00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:29.000 that I'm going in for something and if they have any symptoms, people should 535 00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:30.840 go. The guys should go out there and get checked out. So a 536 00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:35.000 very different approach from him. Well, yeah, and actually I think that 537 00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:39.039 is a good thing. And after having the big C myself, colon cancer, 538 00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:42.960 I mean that's my mission now, is like you guys, get out 539 00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:45.800 there and get checked because it can help you. It can save your life. 540 00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.400 It can you know, stop the like for the prostate. For him, 541 00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:53.360 it can probably stop it from becoming something worse. Yeah, you're absolutely 542 00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:55.920 right. So yes, I'm kind of a different approach. You know, 543 00:39:55.960 --> 00:40:00.119 back in the old days here and covering this for decades, you know, 544 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:04.239 the Royals kept this kind of information very close to their chest thing back to 545 00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:08.960 the times, the various hospital engagements will say Prince Philip, but now kind 546 00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:12.679 of a change. And as we saw with the case with Charles, now 547 00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:15.519 if it's something that he says can help others, yeah, let's put that 548 00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:20.079 information out there. It can't hurt me, but it certainly can help others. 549 00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.519 Yeah, okay, And so I want to go back to Kate for 550 00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:28.280 a minute. So we don't know because they're not saying anything beyond abdominal surgery. 551 00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:34.199 So are there people they're prognosticating about what they think it could be. 552 00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:37.639 I mean, like I immediately do it could be a hysterectomy, but that 553 00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:44.440 wouldn't keep me in the hospital for two weeks exactly exactly. You're hearing it 554 00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:51.159 in every newsroom and you're hearing it over every garden fence. Hysterectomy is one 555 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.320 of the one of the words being uttered here. But we don't know. 556 00:40:54.360 --> 00:41:00.719 But you're absolutely right. If you're a normal person, you go in hysterectomy, 557 00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:04.800 you're not probably going to be in for two weeks unless there are complications. 558 00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:08.960 So yeah, who knows, But if I guess eventually you probably will 559 00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:13.840 get a leak, but at this stage we're none the wiser. Okay, 560 00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:17.480 and the royals both announced that they will not be doing public appearances for the 561 00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:22.199 for a while, and I think Kate said it might be till Easter before 562 00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.679 she goes back and starts doing public appearances. Yeah, you kind of comb 563 00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:30.360 to the calendar after her her time at home, which could take three months. 564 00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:36.559 You're looking at, you know, post Easter time. So she's going 565 00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:39.760 to be out of the lineup. Charles will probably be coming back much much 566 00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:44.400 quicker, but he'll be out for who knows fill in the blank a week 567 00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:50.360 or two. And William he visited, as I say Kate earlier today, 568 00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:55.000 he's kind of running the kids to school and doing domestic y kind of stuff. 569 00:41:55.599 --> 00:42:00.960 So the lineup is pretty thin on the ground. So Princess Anne, 570 00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:06.639 she's taken over some of the royal engagements, royal duties. Edward and Sophie, 571 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:10.039 uh, they're coming out of the dugout, they're doing some they're doing 572 00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:14.320 some swinging to the plate too, So yeah, kind of a different, 573 00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:19.199 different royal complexion over here, as I say, for the next few weeks, 574 00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:21.800 maybe in the next few months, and real quickly, I mean I 575 00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:23.519 know it's a it's a much bigger thing over there, although we do have 576 00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:28.400 this weird fascination with the royals, but like, how many public appearances do 577 00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:31.559 they do typically in a week? Are they out every single day doing they 578 00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:36.239 basically they are every day. You get to the end of the year and 579 00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:40.119 then they actually have they have it down to the to the specific numbers. 580 00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:45.320 So yeah, it can be down to literally, you know, some days 581 00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:49.119 you haven't multiple engagements, other days you skip. But it's usually, you 582 00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:52.440 know, if you're senior royal, expect to do something every day. So 583 00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:55.199 in the list, it's usually about their hundred sixty five engagements for the year, 584 00:42:55.400 --> 00:43:00.159 that kind of thing, everything from opening libraries to open you know, 585 00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:05.679 maybe a remodeled train station, all those kinds of things. But yeah, 586 00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:07.920 they're out and about. Okay, well they're not going to be out and 587 00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:10.800 about for a little while, Tom Rivers, thank you so much for your 588 00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:14.679 information. And then you have to call us immediately when we find out what 589 00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:19.400 the surgery is for. I shall do that, okay, thank you so 590 00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:21.320 much. Have a good bank care. All right, let's get back to 591 00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:23.400 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four Hour newsroom and ex 592 00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:28.639 Cohn, who allegedly shot and killed his ex girlfriend's poppy during an argument in 593 00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:32.280 downtown LA has pleaded not guilty to charges of animal cruelty and criminal threats. 594 00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:37.719 David Sumlin was arrested Monday. He's also charged in a criminal complaint filed in 595 00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:42.599 federal court in LA with being a felon in possession of ammunition. Several people 596 00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:47.239 in Pasadena have gotten sick from eating oysters, so we're investigating this as potentially 597 00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:52.440 being the neuro virus. Pasadena's Lisa Juderien says there've been at least six cases 598 00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:55.079 in the last few days. She says they are linked to several restaurants, 599 00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:59.840 although the city isn't naming them. Pasadena's cases com as. Health officials in 600 00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:05.800 La County recently said they're investigating more than twenty five oyster related illnesses. Three 601 00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:09.000 people in Portland, Oregon, have been killed by a power line when it 602 00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:13.880 fell on a car during an ice storm. Please say they believe the people 603 00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:16.880 were electrocuted yesterday when they got out of the vehicle. A baby in the 604 00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:22.159 car was hurt. Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon were under warnings for as much 605 00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:27.440 of as an inch of ice. The National Weather Service had freezing rain could 606 00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:30.639 possibly return to the region today and tomorrow. As I mentioned earlier, I 607 00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:35.760 got some friends there and they say it was nasty and just super slick. 608 00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:39.039 Just everything's covered in a sheet of ice. Researchers have found the oldest black 609 00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:44.880 hole ever observed using the James web Space telescope. The team made the announcement 610 00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:47.800 yesterday, saying the discovery is thought to be over twelve billion years old. 611 00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:53.159 Researchers say it has changed what they initially believed about black hole development, calling 612 00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:59.519 their findings a giant leap forward. Still makes my head explode. Hey, 613 00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:02.639 if you're going to Las Vegas, you should know about this new law that's 614 00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:08.559 passed. It was passed by Clark County's Board of Commissioners unanimously. So you 615 00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:13.760 know how the Las Vegas Strip has those pedestrian bridges so you don't have to 616 00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:16.239 cross the strip on the street level and you can just go up and down 617 00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:22.480 and around. So they've passed a new law went into effect yesterday that bans 618 00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:29.199 people from stopping, standing or engaging in activity that causes another person to stop, 619 00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:31.880 like stopping to take a picture. Along the pedestrian bridge. You're not 620 00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:37.119 allowed to do that. Also, you can't stop people from moving on the 621 00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:43.159 escalators or the stairways, and apparently they say it's just to keep the flow 622 00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:47.280 of pedestrian traffic movie moving. If you get caught and in trouble for it, 623 00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:52.079 a thousand dollars fine is on the line or even up to six months 624 00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:57.800 in prison. So next time you go to Vegas, keep it moving, 625 00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:02.559 folks.
