It's Wednesday, December sixth, nineteen days till Christmas. I'm 11 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.519 Amy King. Thanks for getting your day started with us today. I am 12 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:22.280 so worried right now that it's going to be one of those days because I 13 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.079 was getting ready doing kind of last minute prep for the show, and producer 14 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.560 Anne and I were talking about why we are both singing All by Myself by 15 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.439 Celine Dion, and it's because George Nori was playing it during Coast to coast 16 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.480 if. Apparently that's one of those earworm songs. So I'm singing that and 17 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.599 getting my oatmeal ready and I go to put it in the microwave and dumped 18 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.560 it all over the place. So it's a mess in the kitchen, so 19 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.359 be careful if you go into the kitchen. I tried to clean it up, 20 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.000 but I was like, I gotta go and start the show. So 21 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.439 and did you know that spilled oatmeal that has not been microwaved looked very much 22 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.840 like vomit. It's not a pretty figure. So let's just hope that today 23 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:07.879 doesn't go down that road. Is that going to You're here, I'm here, 24 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.159 We're all here getting our day started, and it's someday and it's almost 25 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:15.240 Christmas. Here's what's ahead on wake up call. The California High Speed Rail 26 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.599 Project's going to be getting more than three billion dollars in federal money to continue 27 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.840 construction in the Central Valley.

The Washington Post Gun Violence Database says shootings 32 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.039 in Dallas and Vancouver, Washington last weekend pushed the number of people killed to 33 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.599 just under two hundred, not counting the shooters. Stephen Colbert is taking some 34 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:57.439 more time off after suffering a ruptured appendix over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Reruns will air instead at six oh five. 37 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.400 It's handle on the news. President Biden says he's not sure he'd be 38 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:14.520 running for reelection if it weren't for Donald Trump. Let's get started with some 39 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.039 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Actors have 40 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.319 approved the contract that ended the one hundred and eighteen day SAG after strike against 41 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.400 the major studios. Seventy eight percent of members voted for it. ABC's Jason 42 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.879 Nathanson says while it is a clear majority, it's not as overwhelming as the 43 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:37.120 ninety nine percent approval rate when the Writers Guild voted on their contract. Turnout 44 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.120 from the actors didn't exactly pack the House thirty eight percent of sag After members 45 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.719 ended up voting, But the union is in celebration mode, declaring in their 46 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.080 statement that the deal includes more than a billion dollars in new compensation and benefits. 47 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.159 Sag after A president, Fran Drescher, says the union has never been 48 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.759 more powerful. Redondo Union High School has closed its campus following back to back 49 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.919 arrests of two students who took loaded guns to school. The school was put 50 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:06.400 on lockdown yesterday morning after police were called on reports that another student was on 51 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.680 campus with a gun. This freshman says the student was reportedly trying to trade 52 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.399 weapons with other students. I'm praying for everybody safety and you know, just 53 00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:20.040 hoping this can like stop ready. Police say they will be taking safety measures 54 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.759 while the school is closed, including a K nine weapons and explosive sweep of 55 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.639 the campus. The school is expected to reopen tomorrow, and police say there's 56 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.360 no evidence of a planned attack. Chris Adler kf I News the fourth Republican 57 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:38.079 presidential debate for the twenty twenty four elections being held at the University of Alabama 58 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:43.040 in Tuscaloosa.

Entrepreneur Viveke 62 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.360 Ramaswami will also be on stage tonight. Other Republican candidates have either dropped out 63 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.600 or didn't get enough poll numbers to make the debate, which Trump has chosen 64 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.560 to skip. The co founder of the Moody Blues and Wings has passed away. 65 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.439 Denny Lane died this week after a battle with lung disease. He helped 66 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.480 form Moody Blues in nineteen sixty four and then joined Paul McCartney informing Wings in 67 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.319 nineteen seventy one. He played with Wings for a decade on hits like Band 68 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:25.240 on the Run and Jet. He was seventy nine. Okay, now, 69 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.000 let's check in with ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem, and Jordana before we start 70 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.160 talking today, I want to I was thinking last night that we talked to 71 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:36.199 Jordana Miller an awful lot, and I think it's important to hear what's going 72 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.920 on in Israel, because as the news cycle starts to change, I think 73 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:45.160 we shift our focus to other things. And Israel just had its own nine 74 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.680 to eleven, and I don't want to shift the change away just jet. 75 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:55.639 So that's right, that's the way they talked to yourself. Well, I 76 00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:00.240 appreciate that. You know. Statistically, I think someone actually crunched the numbers 77 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.000 here in Israel, not surprising, and I think, like, statistically, 78 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:11.480 it's as if we had fifteen nine elevens for the population, given how many 79 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:16.959 people were killed in Israel's population, So imagine on you know, nine to 80 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:24.120 eleven if we lost forty five thousand people instead of three thousands or nearly two 81 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:29.399 thousands. You know, it is a country that's still traumatized, and you 82 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.920 know, I think one of the headlines today is the mounting evidence of sexual 83 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:42.360 systematic sexual assaults that AMAS carried out on October seventh, the widespread rate that 84 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.399 was carried out. You know, there are now there were a handful of 85 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:53.879 survivors who were simply too traumatized, and they don't they're not really talking about 86 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:58.480 what they saw. But there are forensic experts and others that are collecting and 87 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.399 documenting the evidence, and they say, you know, the bodies that they 88 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.959 found, women and girls, many of them, you know, naked from 89 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:13.800 the waist down, those signs of sexual assault, even pools of sperm, 90 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.279 boken, pelvic phones, you know, mutilated genitalia. These are things that 91 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:25.800 are so difficult to talk about and report on, but they are part of 92 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:32.759 the horror and the savagery of Hamas's attack on October seventh, and you know, 93 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:43.600 women were assaulted sexually. And now today we're hearing the first reports from 94 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.959 those who are examining the hostages that came out of captivity last week. There 95 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:54.920 were over one hundred and there were you know, over there were a lot 96 00:07:54.920 --> 00:08:00.279 of women and children that came out and at least ten of them, and 97 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.560 in the group are not just women, but men. Were sexual assaults that 98 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:09.360 had signed them sexual assaults. And this I'm sure only the beginning of what 99 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.879 we're going to hear about, and it is why Israel is so concerned about 100 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.519 the women that are still in captivity. There's twenty of them, five female 101 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:26.439 soldiers and fifteen civilians. And weren't those the original releases that were planned were 102 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.480 to get all of the women and children out and then when that fell apart, 103 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.559 it just kind of left them high and dry. So are there any 104 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.840 negotiations going on now or is it still that Amasa has walked away and they're 105 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:46.799 saying we're not negotiating until the war ends. Well, I think publicly Hamasas 106 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.960 were not negotiating until the war ends. But we understand the contacts with the 107 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:58.480 mediators Cutter in Egypt and the United States are ongoing for any at the moment 108 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.919 that maybe Hamas will change the mind. But you know, the Israeli Prime 109 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:07.679 Minister believes that, you know, the closer Hamas you know, reaches, 110 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:16.279 the closer Israel gets to defeating Hamas or possibly even just killing the Akassinoar or 111 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.919 the top of months leaders, maybe they will change their mind and negotiate and 112 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.480 release the rest of the captives. There's one hundred and thirty eight, eight 113 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:35.159 of them are Americans, and you know the hostages that were that were kept 114 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.720 for over seven weeks. You know, they describe all kinds of abuse, 115 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.720 emotional, physical abuse, and even with the children. Some children were burned, 116 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.799 you know, kind of like cattle. In case they tried to escape, 117 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.200 they'd be able to you know, be identified. You know, they 118 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.639 were putting children in solitary confinement. There was a woman who had three year 119 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.399 old twins. They took one of the twins away for like weeks and then 120 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:07.000 brought her back miraculously. I mean, these are horror stories. And obviously 121 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:13.519 the staged Hamas videos by see you later. It was great hosting you you 122 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.679 know those yeah fall flat. Okay, So that will hope that the talks 123 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.000 continue, even if it's not publicly talking. But we want to talk just 124 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:28.159 briefly too about that. Israel's troops have now entered Gaz's second largest city. 125 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.679 So where is that in. What's the latest on the fighting there? Yeah, 126 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:37.480 so Israel has entered the city of Communists. It sits in the southwest 127 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:43.320 part of the Gaza Strip. It is a Hamas stronghold. Military analysts expect 128 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.039 it'll take the Ausralia Army a couple of weeks at least maybe three, maybe 129 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:56.039 four weeks to really significantly damage hamasa's military capabilities there. There are tunnels, 130 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.080 it's believed Hamas's leaders are there, possibly some of the hostages as well. 131 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:09.399 And Israel moved on Communists a little quicker than many of us expected perhaps because 132 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.840 you know, there this cannot be an open ended war and still have American 133 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.080 support, so you know, as will maybe speeding up its war plans. 134 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.120 And it is complicated. This part of the war is complicated by the fact 135 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:31.960 that there are one point eight million gossms just to the east of Conunists, 136 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.480 a little to the south and a little to the north, and that you 137 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:41.320 know, Israel says it's working with precision and caution and dropping leaflets and has 138 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:48.120 an interactive map online to you know, notify civilians where it's coming, et 139 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.600 cetera, et cetera. Having said all that, it's hard to move around 140 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.799 the godless strips when you're terrified they're going to get killed in the process, 141 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.720 right, you know, so you know, and are these true safe zones 142 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:05.039 where there's no fighting. No, they're really defined as safer zones. So 143 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.519 no, we're bound to see the civilian casualty number five. Okay, Well, 144 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.120 we will be watching and we will be sharing your reports because, like 145 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.679 I said, I think it's important that we keep our focus on this and 146 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.960 what's going on. Thanks so much, Jordana Miller, Thanks, thank you. 147 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.559 Talk to you soon. Let's get back to some of the stories coming 148 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.399 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. LA County Sheriff Luna has reviewed 149 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.759 his first year in office. The sheriff says he's met or exceeded most of 150 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.600 his goals, including the reduction of in custody uses of force. We've reduced 151 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.440 force in the jail over the last year by thirty one percent, Luna said 152 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.960 yesterday. He's also targeted so called deputy clicks, but still has some work 153 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.399 to do. There has been a challenge here with a very small percentage of 154 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.799 our employees with deputy gain. The shriff says he's also worked on improving relationships 155 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.039 with all the county supervisors, and he says it seems to be working. 156 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.039 His department's budget just got a boost. Steve Gregory k if I knows La 157 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.360 City Council's approved emotion to ban rodeos in the city. Councilman Bob blumenfeld Field 158 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:09.559 says the restriction is aimed at preventing animals from being tortured. This is not 159 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:15.559 about the cultural issues this is and it's not about horse riding. It's about 160 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.840 stopping animal cruelty. The city council voted unanimously yesterday in favor of amending city 161 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.559 law to define and prohibit rodeos as well as harmful rodeo related practices. The 162 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.720 Council says there will be some exemptions for certain cultural and traditional events. The 163 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.919 Air Force has identified the eight service members killed when an Ausprey military aircraft crashed 164 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.159 off the coast of Japan. One of those killed last week was thirty four 165 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:45.559 year old pilot and flight Commander Major Luke Unrath from Riverside. The remains of 166 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.279 just six of the service members have been found. So far, three have 167 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.080 been recovered. The Air Force says the two lost crew members were unlikely to 168 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:58.000 have survived, and the search for their remains continues. House Speaker Mike Johnson 169 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.120 says Republicans are blurring footage from the January sixth attack at the Capitol before releasing 170 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.440 into the public because they don't want people retaliated against and charged with crimes. 171 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.559 Johnson, who was involved in efforts to overturn the results of the twenty twenty 172 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.840 elections, says people should do their own research into the insurrection. He says 173 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:22.039 he's releasing the footage to counter the January sixth Committee's presentation of the riot Hollywood 174 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.320 actors have voted to ratify their new three year contract, putting the one hundred 175 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.399 and eighteen day strike to bed. Voting ended last night. Seventy eight percent 176 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.919 of sag after members voted in favor of the contract that includes AI protections and 177 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.360 a seven percent increase in minimum pay in the first year. A second student 178 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.399 at Redondo Union High School has been arrested for bringing a loaded gun onto campus. 179 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.639 The fifteen year old was arrested yesterday police who are going to be searching 180 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.440 the school today to make sure there are no other weapons at the school. 181 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.960 Classes are canceled today. Researchers say today's earthquakes may actually be after shocks from 182 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.200 quakes that hid in the nineteenth century. Researchers with the U. S US 183 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:05.480 Geological Survey Seismic Or say seismic activity can be traced back to before there were 184 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:11.080 seismographs, and suggested that understanding quakes from the eighteen hundreds will help us prepare 185 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:13.759 for large earthquakes to come. At six o five Tandle on the News, 186 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.320 Republican lawmakers walked out of a meeting over aid for Israel and Ukraine after things 187 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.600 became heated yesterday. Right Now let's say good morning to the host of Rich 188 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:28.600 on Tech on KFI and KTLA tech reporter Rich DeMuro. Rich, we're playing 189 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.919 chicken this morning. Good morning to you, Amy. How are you? 190 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:35.320 I'm great, but I want to find out about this chicken. You're doing 191 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:41.080 a segment on this on KTLA. I am yes, and the chicken puns 192 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.159 are a plenty. So this is a startup out of Austin, Texas named 193 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:50.480 coop Coop and they are creating a smart chicken coop. So it's basically a 194 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:56.519 backyard chicken coop, you know, wireframe kind of doghouse for chickens, but 195 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.919 it has cameras in it, and those cameras have AI features so that can 196 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:06.039 detect predators when the eggs are laid, all kinds of things. You can 197 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:10.360 watch the chickens from your phone. It opens and closes the doors so they 198 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.919 can roost that night. I mean, it's really pretty wild. The startup 199 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:19.000 is from a guy who previously created a startup he sold that would do on 200 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:23.080 demand smartphone repairs, so like basically they would come to your house to do 201 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:27.559 iPhone repairs, like an uber of smartphone repairs. Okay, and one of 202 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.600 my I know, one of my good friends of her ears just perked up 203 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.360 because she's got chickens in her backyard. She's not here in LA, but 204 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:41.120 is chicken cooping common in the Los Angeles area. Well, that's the whole 205 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.159 point of this startup is they want to make anyone a backyard farmer. And 206 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:51.039 they believe that with the right equipment and the right tools and the right technology 207 00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:55.480 don't make this process much easier, and people will kind of grow to love 208 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:59.679 the idea of having you know, fresh eggs and also the you know, 209 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.000 hanyon ship of these chickens in their backyard be more connected to nature. I 210 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.960 interviewed someone in Los Angeles that you know, raises these things the old fashioned 211 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.319 way here in town, and he loves it. He he has nine hens 212 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:17.039 and just loves hanging out with them and feeding them and everything that comes with 213 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.839 it. And of course the lessons for his kids about nature. I love 214 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.000 that. And so that they're having an app. Is there a price tag 215 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:27.640 for it? Yeah? The coop is about twenty five hundred dollars plus Yeah, 216 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.519 plus a monthly monitoring fee. This is serious, but you know you're 217 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:34.240 gonna get free eggs for life, basically, and I did, Amy, 218 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:38.000 I did try a farm fresh egg for the very first time in my life. 219 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:44.200 I was a little hesitant, and I will say it was absolutely delicious. 220 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.680 You're worried about a farm fresh egg. I don't know. I'm Why 221 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.279 would I be concerned about a fresh egg? I don't know, but I 222 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.359 was. And city boy, yep, exactly. I've never gotten my eggs 223 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.480 anywhere except the grocery store, and so it seemed weird to get it out 224 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:03.559 of a chicken. Okay, well, that actually sounds kind of cool. 225 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.920 So it's cool. It's like I was tempted, Amy, I'm tempted to 226 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:10.359 get this, I really am. And I thought my wife would be totally 227 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.240 against it. And she's like, that looks really cool. Would you get 228 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:14.799 that? I was like, oh my gosh, I thought you'd say no. 229 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:17.319 But I at the end of the day, I don't know if I 230 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:19.279 want to have this. Well, I would tell you my friend who has 231 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:23.119 chickens. She is like the people you're describing. She loves them. She 232 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:27.000 loves plays with them, The dogs chase them, they do their thing. 233 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.799 She loves it. Yeah, I could I see the appeal. Let's put 234 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:37.119 it that way. Okay, Uh, talk to us about Beeper bringing I 235 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.680 Message to Android. Okay, this is pretty much the biggest story in the 236 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.640 tech world right now. It is wild A company, a startup named Beeper 237 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:49.480 has come up with an Android app that pretty much brings I message to Android. 238 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:52.920 What does that mean? Different than what we talked about a couple of 239 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.400 weeks ago. It's the same company, Okay, but now they came up 240 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.559 with a new app called Beeper Mini, and it's a lot easier, it's 241 00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:02.720 a lot simpler, and it only does I message. The other one did 242 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.839 everything you know, your LinkedIn your Twitter messages. It was like an all 243 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:11.880 in one message app. This is they reverse engineered how Apple's I message works. 244 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.119 And so the thing is, it works exactly the way I message does. 245 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.519 Like you send a message to an iPhone from an Android, it looks 246 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.440 just like an I message, It acts just like an I message. They're 247 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.799 not doing anything sneaky or nefarious. They're literally just interfacing the way Apple does. 248 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.880 But of course, amy as you might expect, Apple probably doesn't like 249 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:37.160 this. But from what I understand, all the technical capabilities, they're not 250 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:40.359 really doing anything differently than what Apple's doing. So it would be really tough 251 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.960 for them to shut this down, and so this is like in the tech 252 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.759 world, we're just kind of watching this like, wow, this company is 253 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:51.240 really like they're like, this is David versus Goliath, right, Yeah, 254 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:52.960 they are charging two dollars a month for this though, So and I tried 255 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.200 it and it's it really does work as advertised, okay, And you can 256 00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.119 find it at Beeper Yeah, Beeper Mini, that's what it's called. Okay. 257 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.359 And then before we run and I hate that we run out of time 258 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.079 so quickly. We can now watch Jimmy Stewart reading a new bedtime story or 259 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.799 listen to him reading a bedtime story. I know you have some experience with 260 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:14.920 you know, voiceover work and all that stuff, so I thought this was 261 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.319 a good one for you. But you know, Jimmy Stewart has not been 262 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:21.640 around for a while, and everyone knows his voice and of course his likeness 263 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:26.160 from It's a Wonderful Life, Well he has uh they've used AI to recreate 264 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.519 his voice with his family's permission, and he's now reading a bedtime story and 265 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.759 of course it's in that warm Jimmy Stewart voice. And I listened to the 266 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:38.240 intro to this and I literally got chills because it's so realistic and it's so 267 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.279 wild to think that this person is no longer in our world, but there 268 00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:47.319 is new content from this person and this is just the beginning amy with all 269 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.799 this AI stuff. And I know you probably have some strong feelings on that, 270 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:55.599 but it is it is pretty wild that this is a thing. Yeah, 271 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:57.039 And is the story available? I mean, can you go find it 272 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:02.640 now or is it ending release? It's through this app called Calm. I 273 00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:03.519 don't know if you've heard of that, but you know, it's like that 274 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.119 relaxation app. So it's a sleep story. You know, they have a 275 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:10.559 bunch of them, and a lot of celebrities read these things. But you 276 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.640 know, to have a celebrity that's passed read a story that's new is pretty 277 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:18.119 unique. Wow, so cool. So it's one of the things that like 278 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:23.000 I'm excited about AI but then also still trependacious about the whole thing. Yeah, 279 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.279 I mean, you know, yeah, it's pretty wild. I mean, 280 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.440 you could regular people can recreate their own voices to say forever at this 281 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.559 point, I mean, it's pretty wild. Yeah. Okay, rich Demiro, 282 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:36.640 thank you so much for your information. Of course you can hear rich 283 00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.400 on rich on Tech here on KFI Saturdays from eleven to two. He's got 284 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.759 all the good things and it is so good at explaining it to so my 285 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.640 head doesn't hurt, which I appreciate a lot. Also, you can follow 286 00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:52.039 Rich on Instagram at rich on tech is website, rich on tech Dot TV. 287 00:21:52.279 --> 00:22:06.279 Thanks Rich, Thanks Amy Amy It What am I on? I'm on 288 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:12.119 all things streaming movies, books, documentaries, TV shows, series and the 289 00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:17.359 reason I'm on it is because there's so much content out there you just don't 290 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:21.880 even it's hard to choose what to watch. Sometimes it's new stuff, sometimes 291 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:26.240 it's old stuff that you missed. This time it's something new. It's Candy 292 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.480 Cane Lane just in time for the holidays. It's the new movie with Eddie 293 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:36.960 Murphy. You can see it on Prime Video. It also stars Tracy Ellis 294 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.799 from Blackish. So Eddie Murphy's character lives in a neighborhood that goes all out 295 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:48.240 for Christmas. Sound interesting so far, And this year Eddie Murphy really wants 296 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.000 to win, and for reasons you learn very early on in the movie. 297 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.319 He needs to win the neighborhood's annual Christmas home decorating contest. So you add 298 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.559 in a little magic, and he finds himself face to face with a mischievous 299 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:06.079 little Elf that can give him the goods to do it. Of course, 300 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:07.880 there's a hitch, there's a price to pay if he doesn't live up to 301 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.680 the conditions. And I had really high hopes for this movie. I thought 302 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:18.839 it would be just a fun, cool Christmas movie. It's cute at times. 303 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.160 Overall it's forgettable. And I'm very sad to say that because I love 304 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.839 all things Christmas, and I love Christmas movies, and I'm waiting for the 305 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:30.240 next great Elf movie or something like that. But I'm glad it was streaming 306 00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:34.160 as opposed to one that I would have paid for in the theater. Eddie's 307 00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:38.440 great. He's always fun to watch, but I don't find myself cheering him 308 00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:41.359 on in this movie, and I don't really care what happens. Although it's 309 00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:45.640 a Christmas movie, so you kind of know how it's going to end, 310 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.359 I can. I'm just gonna guess that this one won't be a holiday classic. 311 00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.160 It may not even be available on streaming after the Christmas season. It 312 00:23:53.240 --> 00:24:00.799 was just kind of forgettable. Some fun special effects, just not great. 313 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:06.920 So Candy Cane Lane if you don't have anything else to do, or maybe 314 00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:10.640 you just need a little distraction. Okay, it's some prime video, but 315 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:14.480 it's not a must watch for me at all. Let's get back to some 316 00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:17.799 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Faculty members 317 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.519 at cal State la are set to hold their one day strike in a fight 318 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:23.200 for a new contract. The strike's been going on all week at different cal 319 00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:32.119 State campuses, including at there'll be at cal State Sacramento tomorrow. The FBI 320 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:37.200 says some scammers in Romania have been busted for skimming ATMs in southern California. 321 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.599 Officials here say agents in Romania went to eighty four locations and arrested forty eight 322 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.960 people and seized eleven vehicles along with a million dollars worth of various currencies. 323 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:51.079 During the three year investigation, the FBI said it also seized eight thousand stolen 324 00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:55.319 credit card numbers that belonged to US citizens and at least a million in cash 325 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:59.279 and cryptocurrency. The people arrested in Romania are said to be working for the 326 00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.319 Riviera My, a gang based out of Cancun, Mexico, and had been 327 00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:06.880 part of a global skimming operation Steve Gregory, King of News News brought to 328 00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:11.240 you by American Vision Windows. Redondo Union High School has closed its campus for 329 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.039 the day following arrests of two students caught with loaded guns on two different days. 330 00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.119 This freshman says, school officials have been very quiet about what happened, 331 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.079 so for I note that this was the second attempt. Someone came onto campus 332 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:27.960 with a firearm, and I guess they were trading firearms with another student. 333 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.240 Police arrested the first student Monday, the second student yesterday morning after the student 334 00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.119 ran away. Police say the school is going to reopen tomorrow following a K 335 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:42.319 nine Weapons and explosives sweep of the campus. An annual report on the health 336 00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:48.119 of Kids in Orange County shows progress in health insurance access and a reduction in 337 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.880 child poverty, but it also poses some other concerns. Officials say for the 338 00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.359 past three years, the reports focused on effects of the pandemic, but the 339 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:02.200 next step is to access the longer term impacts and underlying inequities that were exposed. 340 00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:06.079 They say. The report raised issues related to declining English and math skills, 341 00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:11.799 rising suicide and depression rates, and school non attendance. The owners of 342 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:17.160 a funeral home in Colorado accused of abusing corpses, laundering money, and foregoing 343 00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:21.960 or forging documents, have appeared in court for the first time. Investigators discovered 344 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.400 one hundred and ninety bodies stacked up in October. Some of them had death 345 00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:30.039 dates as far back as twenty nineteen. Family members were falsely told their loved 346 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:36.960 ones were cremated and given materials that were not human ashes. Relatives who knew 347 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.680 or feared their loved ones were among the abandoned bodies. Watched in person yesterday 348 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.759 as the funeral homeowners stood in front of a judge at the hearing. Police 349 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.000 in Texas have arrested a man in connection with a series of murders in two 350 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.680 cities. Bear County Sheriff hobbi Ar Salazars's two bodies were found yesterday at a 351 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.359 home in San Antonio, ridged inside a very small room and it's a pretty 352 00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:00.200 goods the cime seine in. The police say the killer then headed seventy five 353 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.759 miles north to Austin, where he shot and killed four people and wounded three 354 00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:10.519 others, including two police officers. Austin's interim police chief says it's not clear 355 00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:14.759 how all of this is connected. The killings happened at several different homes. 356 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.839 The LA Kings have tied the NHL record for the most consecutive wins on the 357 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:23.079 road to start a season. The Kings beat Columbus four to three in overtime 358 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:27.079 last night. That's ten straight wins for the Kings. They'll go for win 359 00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:33.119 number eleven and try to stay undefeated tomorrow night in Montreal. Tonight, the 360 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:37.960 Clippers take on the Denver Nuggets at Crypto dot Com Arena, with tip off 361 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.599 at six o'clock.

Hollywood actors have voted to ratify 363 00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:51.720 their new three year contract. Voting ended last night. Seventy eight percent of 364 00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:55.759 SAG after members voted in favor of the contract that includes AI protections and a 365 00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:59.440 seven percent increase in minimum pay for the first year. The one hundred and 366 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.599 eighteen long strike was the longest labor fight in Hollywood history. A second student 367 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.759 at Redando Union High School has been arrested for bringing a loaded gun onto campus. 368 00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.880 The fifteen year old was arrested yesterday. Police are going to be searching 369 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.160 the school today to make sure there are no other weapons. Classes are canceled 370 00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:19.440 for today. The La City councils moving forward in its efforts to ban rodeos 371 00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:26.319 in the city, claiming they are inherently cruel to animals. Ban would stop 372 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.920 harmful practices, techniques and devices, or rodeo related events. There would be 373 00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:36.960 exemptions for some cultural and traditional activities. We're just minutes away from handle on 374 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.759 the news this morning, seven million, twenty three and meters users have had 375 00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:44.559 their information compromised in a hack. We'll tell you about that right now. 376 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.400 Let's say good morning to the President and CEO of the Inland Valley Humane Society 377 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:53.880 and SPCA, Nicole Bresciani. Good morning, Nicole, Good morning. Wanted 378 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:57.000 to have you on this morning, Nicole, because we've got a big problem 379 00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:02.559 in our shelters. They're full, yes, yes, and we feel it 380 00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:07.000 every day. So tell us about what's going on at animal shelters, not 381 00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.519 only in the Inland Empire, but also across the country. Yeah. I 382 00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.039 mean, we've just hit this perfect storm where we came out of COVID and 383 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:19.559 there were you know, diversion of veterinary supplies, span neuter was not considered 384 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:25.480 essential, and so you have this population explosion. We're seeing an increase in 385 00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:30.400 kit popultters, an increase in intake overall, a decrease in our transport to 386 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.279 our adoption partners because they're also full. So the pipeline is stuck. And 387 00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:38.079 when you have pets sitting in a shelter for longer, you know, we're 388 00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:42.759 averaging a length of stay of thirty five days per animal, and the national 389 00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:47.359 average was at twenty. There's no doubt that the shelters are full and we're 390 00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:49.920 feeling it. Okay, I want to back up for a second because I'm 391 00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.039 just hearing about this for the first time. When actually, when I read 392 00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:59.079 the article about about what you guys are dealing with during the pandemic, spaying 393 00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:03.920 and neutering was considered non essential. And that's like one of the first things 394 00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.279 that happened before you adopt is you get the spade and neutered pets. So 395 00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.799 the explosion stops. But that stopped during the pandemic, correct, So there 396 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.480 were shelters that were still doing minimal amounts, but you were supposed to divert 397 00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:21.000 your veterinary supplies towards human medicine, which is understandable. But the problem is 398 00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:25.279 is that now we have this backlog and so people were shelters were adopting out 399 00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:29.440 animals during the pandemic on waivers, which is still what some of them are 400 00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.319 doing because either they don't have a veterinary team or they don't have the capacity 401 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.240 and they have a backlog. So it's just created this dynamic where we're seeing 402 00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.759 more animals and maybe we aren't at pre pandemic levels, but the quantity of 403 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.440 the animals coming in in a very short amount of time is putting a lot 404 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.920 of strain on shelter systems. Okay, and then I'm going to go down 405 00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.880 that road that nobody wants to go down. When the shelters are full and 406 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:56.319 over full, you guys are forced into making some really crappy decisions. So 407 00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:00.039 yeah, and you know there are some shelters that have to make decisions based 408 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.240 on space. What we do is that we make decisions based on public safety 409 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:11.559 and behavior issues or illness. So but if we have capacity issues, then 410 00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.559 a dog or a cat that maybe we have given time to so much time 411 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.079 and now we have to say, okay, that particular pet is in decline 412 00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.519 in the kennel. We're not seeing positive outcomes through the foster system or through 413 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.599 behavior enrichment, and now, yeah, you have to make a difficult decision 414 00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:30.880 because now you have to worry about spread of disease. And so it's a 415 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.279 multifaceted issue that we're dealing with. And so nobody wants to go to work 416 00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.400 every day and have to decide on dogs and cats to euthanize. That's not 417 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.920 something that we get into this profession to do. But it's a side effect 418 00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.079 of overpopulation. And so you know, we're so focused and I know the 419 00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:51.160 article focused a lot on the euthanasia issue, but that's not helping the shelters 420 00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:53.319 because the public trust is saying, well, don't take your animal to the 421 00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:56.559 shelter because they're just going to kill it, and that's a horrible position to 422 00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.400 put the shelters in. The reality is that we're doing so much more for 423 00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:04.880 each and every animal that comes into our care. And if all of us 424 00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.680 were just uthanizing for space, I wouldn't have just adopted out a dog that 425 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.720 had been in our care for over two hundred days. That's not happening. 426 00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:15.319 We're spending a lot of time we're not euthanizing healthy, adoptable animals, but 427 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:19.960 we are having to make difficult decisions on dogs that maybe we would have wanted 428 00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:22.680 to try to give even more time, but we just can't do it if 429 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.519 we're not seeing that improvement. Yep, Okay, well, I think you 430 00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:29.400 guys are all heroes. So, like I said, I just brought it 431 00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:34.359 up because it's that really awful reality that you are forced into. Like you 432 00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:38.160 said, you just you don't have the capacity for this. But how can 433 00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:43.359 how can we make things better? Well, I think we need to focus 434 00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:46.000 on what's the issue in a community, and let's be neighborly and let's try 435 00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:49.759 to help the people that we see that are struggling. You know, the 436 00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.359 cost of food, pet food is an issue. When we adopt out animals 437 00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:55.759 at our shelter, they're fixed, they have everything, they have post care 438 00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:00.640 for veterinary care. We also send them home with their starter food, so 439 00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:02.319 there's things that we can do. We have a pet pantry at our shelter. 440 00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:05.519 You know, you leave what you can, you take what you need. 441 00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:07.720 We don't ask, we don't monitor it. So I think if we 442 00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:10.680 look at the fact that shelters are supposed to be a resource center. We 443 00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:16.000 want to help our community members, but we didn't create the population explosion. 444 00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:20.799 It's happening in our communities and it's just ending up that the shelters are taking 445 00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:23.480 the heat for it. The reality is that you know, if you can 446 00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:27.599 adopt, if you can foster, if you can volunteer, if you can 447 00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.759 donate, all of those things are so important. Okay, So and it's 448 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.559 not just adoption, So that's good to know too. If you if you 449 00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.680 can take one temporarily in foster them, or make a donation, or like 450 00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.160 you said, just volunteer and come down and take dogs for walks during the 451 00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:45.319 day. Absolutely, we run vacations if you want to take a dog out 452 00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:47.559 for the day and hang out with it at you know, your your local 453 00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:51.400 park, or take it to Low's or home depot. We have people do 454 00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:52.880 that all the time. It's great, great for the dog, great for 455 00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:58.119 you, a doggie dacation. That's so adoring. Okay, but let's let's 456 00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:02.240 let us not be remiss talking about adopting. And I know that the holidays 457 00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:07.279 are sometimes a good time something to think about. So if you're what do 458 00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:10.480 you say if you're in the market possibly thinking about adopting. What's your message 459 00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:15.480 to people? So I would say do your research, and you know, 460 00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:17.360 don't just say hey, i'd like that cute puppy in the window, because 461 00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:21.400 that cute puppy grows up to be you know, one hundred pounds German shepherd. 462 00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.760 And so find a dog or a cat that works for your lifestyle. 463 00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:28.920 And you know, we're running free adoptions right now. We have our Mark 464 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:31.880 after Dark with our Happy the Hour on Wednesday, December thirteenth from six to 465 00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:37.239 eight pm. I love that the adoptions are free. We're running a veterans 466 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:44.199 event to focus on resources and adoptions on Saturday, December sixteenth for our veterans, 467 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:49.199 and so we're doing a lot of free adoptions. So if there's no 468 00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:52.039 reason to spend money on a pet this holiday season, if you're really in 469 00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:54.320 the market for a pet, okay, and they bring lots of love and 470 00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:59.079 life into your home. I have two cats, and I just I can't 471 00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.360 imagine not having a pet in the house. So thank you so much, 472 00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:06.119 Nicole. We hope you know that lots of animals get adopted and some foster 473 00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.639 people step up and they volunteer. We got to get these We got to 474 00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:13.840 make space for these animals. Absolutely, thank you so much for your time 475 00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:15.679 today, Amy, all right, you got it. Thanks again, Nicole. 476 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:17.320 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 477 00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:22.960 four our newsroom. We're just getting news that TV pioneer Norman Lear has died. 478 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:29.280 He was one hundred one. WOW. Trial has started in Riverside County 479 00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:31.719 for a man who claims he heard voices threatening him when he killed two people 480 00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:36.239 at a movie theater in Corona. The man reported hearing voices coming from the 481 00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.360 rows in front of him where the two people were sitting. He says the 482 00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:43.159 voices he heard were saying, We're coming to get you guys. The man 483 00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:45.639 then went to his car to get a gun, and while the credits were 484 00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:47.719 rolling, he shot the teens in the back of the head. The man 485 00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:52.639 initially pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder from the shooting in twenty twenty 486 00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:55.960 one, but then withdrew those please and is now testifying in an insanity trial. 487 00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:00.480 Chris Adler kaf FIE News, the former pilot kee of trying to cut 488 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:05.599 the engines on a Horizon Air flight, has been indicted in Oregon on eighty 489 00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:09.440 four charges of endangerment. He's no longer charged with attempted murder. Lawyers for 490 00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:15.760 Joseph Emerson say they welcome the grand jury's decision. They say attempted murder charges 491 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:19.840 weren't appropriate because Emerson never intended to hurt anyone or put anyone at risk. 492 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:23.320 They say he thought he was in a dream after taking psychedelic mushrooms and staying 493 00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:30.000 awake for more than forty hours.
