But I am sad 6 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:46.320 today because I just found out that it's National Pancake Day. I didn't plan 7 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.399 for it, so I have vote me on not pancakes. That doesn't mean 8 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:54.399 you couldn't make pancakes for breakfast. You probably still have time. Also, 9 00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:00.320 I'm very excited today because I woke up with a text message saying, hey, 10 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.600 you won, And it wasn't from a scammer. It was from a 11 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:08.079 person that I'm involved with a with a football pool four. So I won 12 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.519 my football pool for the week. And I can tell you that I've been 13 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:19.400 playing this football pool for like more than twenty years and one year I finished 14 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.799 dead. Last one year I finished first in the group and we had like 15 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.120 fifty people and I have not won a single week of this football pool for 16 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:34.079 probably six years. So I was like whoa. I mean it's you know, 17 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.359 one hundred and eighty dollars. But I'm still in the I'm still in 18 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.079 the hole because it's like eighty five dollars a year and I have one for 19 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.840 like five or six years. But hey, that's two tanks of gas. 20 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.000 That's a that's a good score. Well, except with gas prices right now, 21 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.120 it might be just one and a half. Yeah, you're right, 22 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.760 yeah, up again, gas prices up again. I think it's six thirteen 23 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.680 a gallon in La County. Gotta love it. Here's what's a head on? 24 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.680 Wake up call? Right? Writers Guild members could get a look at 25 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.719 the tentative deal reached between the union and Hollywood Studios today. If WGA leaders 26 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.159 accept the terms of the deal, they could call for an end to the 27 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:15.120 strike today, and that would allow the writers to get back to work before 28 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.639 the contract is actually voted on and ratified. President Biden will join picket lines 29 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.800 today in Michigan as UAW workers continue to strike for fewer work days, more 30 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:29.840 pay, and pensions against the Big three automakers. A sixteenth bus full of 31 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.800 migrants has arrived in Los Angeles from Texas. The group included both adults and 32 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.840 children, mostly from Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador, and Honduras. The Coalition 33 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:45.199 for Human Immigrant Rights in La says some on the bus hadn't eaten for several 34 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.240 days. At six oh five, we've got handle on the news. Former 35 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.280 President Trump says, maybe a government shutdown is just what we need, but 36 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.080 that's going to play well on Capitol Hill. Let's start with some of the 37 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.759 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Actors in Hollywood say 38 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.479 they will remain on picket lines as the Writers Union works to finalize a tentative 39 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.919 deal with studios. Writers are expected to vote on a deal reached with major 40 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.319 studio heads, and unless it gets the majority of approval, it won't be 41 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.000 official. Actor Mario Ponce says most actors are highly underpaid and hopes the writers 42 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.919 deal puts something in motion for actors. We would definitely get law bought in 43 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.080 this game. So many times, so many for me to say. The 44 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.560 Writers Guild says the new deal will go to the Council for approval and then 45 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.120 to its members for a vote. Writers have been on strike since May, 46 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.240 and we're joined by the actors. In July. Chris Adler KFI News SAG 47 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.400 after members could possibly hit the picket lines against ten major video game companies. 48 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.919 Vote results announced last night show more than ninety eight percent of the nearly thirty 49 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.800 five thousand members who cast ballots voted in favor of authorizing a strike. The 50 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.639 guild's last strike against gaming companies was in late twenty sixteen. It lasted for 51 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.960 about six months. Negotiations resumed today. If no agreement has reached over the 52 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:10.039 next few days, a strike could follow. A flight instructor and a student 53 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.800 have been critically injured in a small plane crash in San Pedro. So I 54 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.160 ran to the plane. I was able to open it up the windows. 55 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.879 She was responsive. I was in the female. The male wasn't bringing at 56 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.720 all. This man was the first person to go to the plane after it 57 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.040 made a hard landing on a soccer field yesterday. Within minutes, there was 58 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.839 five other people here where they're able to help me take a wind off the 59 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.480 female. We were able to get her on the ground. The mail was 60 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.639 sitting in there. We left him there because the paramics were coming, so 61 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.800 they removed him. Some fuel leaked on the ground, but there was no 62 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.879 fire. No one else was injured. The NTSB and FAA are investigating the 63 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:50.759 crash. Sales of Travis Kelsey football jerseys have exploded. Guess why because he 64 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:55.600 was spotted with Taylor Swift at the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Bears. 65 00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:00.160 Swift was seen Sunday watching the game from Kelsey Suite with his mom, and 66 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:01.879 then less than twenty four hours later, he was listed as one of the 67 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:08.360 top five selling NFL players with a four hundred percent increase in Jersey sales. 68 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:13.040 It happened as rumors swirl of a possible romance between the two. It is 69 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.040 five zero six on your wake up call. Time to say good morning to 70 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:21.959 ABC's national correspondent Stephen portnoy So. Stephen, despite what appears to be from 71 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:28.120 pictures we've seen from prosecutors a mountain of evidence, Senator Bob Menendez or Melendez 72 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:33.000 is defiant and says he's not stepping down and expects to be exonerated. Bob 73 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.800 Menendez says he's going to remain New Jersey Senior Senator. He's not answering whether 74 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:42.959 he's going to run for reelection next year, but already faces a primary challenger 75 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.199 in the form of a Democratic House member from New Jersey Andy Kim and increasing 76 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.800 calls for his resignation. Last night, a former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi added 77 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:55.720 her name to the list of top Democrats who are saying that Menendez should step 78 00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:00.800 down. So far muted calls from Senate Democrats. Just a handful of Menendez's 79 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.879 colleagues and the Upper Chamber have said that he should step down. Menendez said 80 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:09.040 yesterday that he is going to be exonerated, and the prosecutors make mistakes, 81 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:14.040 and he knows that because a few years ago he beat a rap. The 82 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:20.560 Justice Department refused to retry a case, a separate case completely unrelated to the 83 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:29.480 charges now that he was engaged in a bribery scheme and a jury did not 84 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.879 return an unanimous verdict, and the Justice Department ultimately dismissed those charges. So 85 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:38.399 Menendez is going to beat this rap too. But he has not offered a 86 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.839 full explanation to the public for what is alleged in the indictment, which he 87 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.759 says is written in the most salacious possible way and essentially mischaracterizes the facts. 88 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.399 But here's what the indictment says. The indictment says that Bob Menendez and his 89 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:58.360 younger wife, Nadine, worked with friends Egyptian businessmen and other businessmen in New 90 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.959 Jersey to do their bidding in Washington so that they would be enriched by these 91 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:09.839 benefactors to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, gold bars, 92 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.000 Mercedes Benz mortgage payments. The only explanation we heard for about any of 93 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:19.519 this yesterday from Menendez was related to the cash that investigators pulled out of the 94 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:25.879 house dollars worth right right, Yeah, some of it sewed into embroidered jackets 95 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.759 that the Senator now, he said yesterday, that is a son of Cuban 96 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:36.399 refugees. He knows the risk of government confiscation, and so to keep cash 97 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:43.079 on hands for emergencies, he has over the years withdrawn thousands of dollars from 98 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:47.160 his own personal savings accounts. But the indictment says that some of this cash 99 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:53.720 happens to have the fingerprints and DNA of his alleged benefactors in the bribery scheme, 100 00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:01.120 and also no explanation for the gold bars. The acusations in the indictment 101 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:09.519 are that Menendez applied pressure on administration officials in the executive branch and on state 102 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.560 prosecutors in New Jersey on behalf of the people who are giving him all this 103 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.920 money, and those are the official acts that prosecutors will allege Menendez did. 104 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.720 Now, Menendez is going to argue that all the things he did were in 105 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.800 keeping with his constitutional role and responsibility as a US senator. It would be 106 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.839 a very interesting defense in front of a jury. Yeah, and he not 107 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.440 only defended his position with Egypt, but he went on to talk about all 108 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.120 the other good things that he's done in office. As I get back to 109 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.679 it, dude, get back to it, because he was wandering off of 110 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.200 that. So what's next for him, Well, ultimately he'll have to answer 111 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.440 to these charges, but the immediate question is whether his Democratic colleagues in the 112 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:52.159 Senate will join the calls for his ouster and whether there'll be any kind of 113 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.320 motion to expel Bob Menendez. And that can happen. But look, there 114 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.879 are two separate storms Menendez. There's the legal one that he's going to try 115 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.960 to mount a defense against and may well survive. I mean, you know, 116 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.919 it looked he was able to avoid an unanimous verdict in the last round, 117 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.480 and there have been various appeals court cases, and even a Supreme Court 118 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:24.720 case that limits prosecutor's ability to bring corruption and bribery counts against sitting officeholders. 119 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.639 And then there's the political aspect of it, which is a much harder challenge 120 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.759 I think from Menendez to convince New Jersey ands to send him back for another 121 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.159 six year term. In the midst of all, this gonna be fun to 122 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.120 watch. Thanks Stephen Portnoy for your time this morning. I appreciate it. 123 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.480 Be Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 124 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.200 four hour newsroom. People on Maui are finally being allowed to return to their 125 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.399 property following deadly wildfires last month. Johnny officials have set up a system to 126 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.159 allow some residents and property owners to survey damage. Yesterday, two dozen parcels 127 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.000 in North Lahina were opened and the first group of people were escorted in for 128 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.440 a specific time period. People were encouraged to wear protective gear and were asked 129 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.279 not to sift through the ashes for fear of stirring up toxic dust. The 130 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.399 movie is part of the county's re entrying rebuilding program. Officials say two thousand 131 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.600 homes and buildings were destroyed and at least ninety seven people were killed. Steve 132 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:20.960 Gregory camef I News a debate has been set between Governor Newsom and Florida Governor 133 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.120 Ronda Santis. Even though Newsome has repeatedly said he is not running for president, 134 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.200 His face to face showdown with De Santis has been debated for some time. 135 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.159 Newsom spokesperson saying we've agreed to the debate provided there is no cheering section, 136 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.919 no hype videos. We want a real debate, not a circus. 137 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.759 ABC's Lionel Moisey says the two will meet November thirtieth. The debate will be 138 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:48.159 ninety minutes long and moderated by Sean Hannity on Fox News. De Santis's campaign 139 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.600 says whether Newsome or Biden is the Democrat nominee in twenty twenty four, they 140 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.600 both offer the same failed, dangerous ideology for America. The mountain towns of 141 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.879 Crestline, Angelus and Forest Falls are getting new heavy equipment to help recover from 142 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.559 natural disasters. Stay lawmakers have given San Bernardino County two and a half million 143 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.679 dollars, which county officials say will be used to buy four large front end 144 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:18.080 loaders amid size loader four industrial snowblowers. The equipment will help with debris removal 145 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.919 after snowstorms, floods, mudslides, and earthquakes. All of the equipment will 146 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.279 be stored close enough to be deployed at a moment's notice. As many as 147 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.320 four million workers could lose pay if the government shuts down. Willie Joe Price 148 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.159 has worked in the cafeteria the Library of Congress for forty two years and says 149 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.879 there are lots of people just like her who are going to suffer living paycheck 150 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.799 to paycheck and can't afford to do anything, you know, and then the 151 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.240 government's shut down, and like I say, the government will go back and 152 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.320 they're gonna get paid. We're not going to get anything. Price says she's 153 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.480 concerned she will fall behind on her bills. The federal government is set to 154 00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.200 shut down October first if lawmakers don't reach a deal. This week, the 155 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:07.600 UCLA Blood and Platelet Center started accepting blood donations from gay and bisexual men, 156 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.159 previously restricted by federal guidelines. Campus blood recruiter Tom King says it's a big 157 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.960 moment for the gay community. People felt it wasn't just, but you can 158 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.720 make a difference and I think people's voices helped to make a difference, and 159 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:24.360 I've said to other people now there's other issues within the LGBTQ plus community that 160 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.799 still need our attention. King says, every person donating, we'll be individually 161 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:37.879 screamed, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. The actor who played doctor Donald 162 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:43.720 Millard or Duckie Oh maybe it's Mallard on the TV show NCIS has died. 163 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.840 David McCallum was also known for his work on The Man from Uncle in the 164 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.519 nineteen sixties. CBS announced yesterday McCallum was surrounded by family when he died of 165 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:56.720 natural causes at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He was ninety. Okay, so 166 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.799 I don't know about you, but now with the writers strike appearing to be 167 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.759 over, or at least very close to it, I'm very happy because Dancing 168 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.200 with the Stars is going on. So if you'll remember, they announced the 169 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:13.320 cast and I was pleasantly surprised because they actually had some stars on Dancing with 170 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.279 the Stars, including Oscar winner Mira Sorvino and How I Met Your Mother actor 171 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:24.799 Alison Hannigan, also VEEP star Matt Walsh. And then they said, wait 172 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.639 a second, we're not sure if this is going to go on because of 173 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.840 the strike, because there was worried that some of the people who were participating, 174 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.600 even though it wasn't scripted, that they were maybe strike busting or something 175 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:43.320 like that. In fact, Matt Walsh from VEEP, who's one of the 176 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.840 dancers, said I'm going to put a pause on this and said in solidarity 177 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.919 with the unions, I'm not going to perform. But now ABC is confirmed 178 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.159 that it's all a go again. Dancing with the Stars will debut as originally 179 00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.279 planned tonight at eight and I haven't watched the show for years, but I 180 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:05.000 might tonight. It would be fun. I'm so glad the writer's strike is 181 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.039 almost over. Of course, then the sag after video game strike might start 182 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.879 and the other sag stripers still continuing. Never a dull moment. In La 183 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.840 gas prices are up for the twentieth time in twenty two days in La County, 184 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.080 up to six fifteen a gallon. That's seventy four cents higher than the 185 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.279 last or in the last twenty two days. Orange County prices are also up 186 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.000 to six eleven a gallon. It's five ninety eight in the IE at six 187 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.039 oh five is handle on the news about fifty thousand eviction notices had been filed 188 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.879 since COVID renters protections ended in LA. Right now, let's say good morning 189 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.799 to ABC's Karen Travers. Check it in with the President, who's about to 190 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.639 be carrying a picket sign. Yeah. The President, well, we don't 191 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.679 know that. The White House would not say that specifically. Yesterday there were 192 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:52.120 questions about it, but the Whitehouse says that he wants to be the most 193 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.720 pro union president in history, and today he's going to show a supportant person 194 00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:00.519 to UAW autoworkers who are on strike in Michigan. This is the storic move 195 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.120 by the president because it thought to be the first time that a sitting president 196 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:09.919 has joined a picket line. Yesterday, he was asked if he specifically supports 197 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.960 the demands that the UAW is asking for the forty percent pay raise, the 198 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:18.279 thirty two hour work week, and better benefits. And the President wouldn't get 199 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.240 into that specifically, you know, and the White House is also doing the 200 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.919 same thing, not a numbers, not talking about the negotiations exactly, but 201 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.720 he said that the auto workers gave up an incredible amount. In his words, 202 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.720 when the auto industry was sailing, and that now they should reap the 203 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.240 benefits of a turnaround in the industry. He said, you know, look 204 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:43.000 at the executive compensation, the salaries for executives, the growth in the industry. 205 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.840 They should get some of the benefit of that. You know, a 206 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:50.159 lot of semantics yesterday with the White House of does he side with the workers 207 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.279 now? Is he taking their side in this dispute with the auto companies? 208 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.720 And Karine Jean Pierre would only say he is standing with the workers, and 209 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:00.600 everybody said, well, yes, we know that because you're finally going to 210 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.320 be there with them today. But in terms of you know, putting a 211 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.679 thumb on the scale, what does this all mean? She just kept saying, 212 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.120 he wants to show his support for the UAW. Okay, so he's 213 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:17.360 showing a support for the U A WU. Is he going to meet with 214 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.440 the heads of the big three automakers or anybody with them, or is he 215 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:26.679 only going for the workers today. I asked that question yesterday because we know 216 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.240 he had head conversations. Yes, there you go, ask them, you 217 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.600 shall receive. He had talked to auto executives earlier this month, before he 218 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.879 had traveled to India a couple of weeks ago, but we have not heard 219 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:42.799 of any new conversations, at least since the strike had started. That the 220 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:48.360 president has not engaged with the auto executives. I asked if they had invited 221 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.039 him to a meeting today or is he going to talk to them. Corene 222 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.679 would not say if there was an invitation from the Auto executives any of the 223 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.799 companies, or if the President would have any engagement with them today. Something 224 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.720 we're keeping an eye on to see whether or not there's a phone call with 225 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:04.799 anybody from one of those companies. Well, he's going to be in town, 226 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.880 I mean it might as well. Yeah, all right, thank you 227 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:12.200 so much. Does be on camera thing with the workers and does a phone 228 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.160 call with the executive, So we'll see, stay tuned. I want him 229 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.920 to carry a picket signed personally. I don't think it's probably gonna happen, 230 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.680 but that's okay. Thank you so much for your time here, and we'll 231 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.960 talk to you again soon. I have a great day, Thanks you too. 232 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:27.559 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 233 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:33.599 four hour news room. Orange County has suspended advanced sales of burial plots until 234 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.559 a new county cemetery opens for the first time in more than one hundred twenty 235 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.640 five years, so that will have enough space to help out neat families up 236 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:44.079 until the point that our new cemetery is open. OH ce Cemetery District GM 237 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:48.559 Tim Deutsch says the county six hundred forty remaining spaces would run out by twenty 238 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.200 twenty five, at least a year before the new cemetery is complete, unless 239 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.240 they also expand. There's a road or two within the cemetery grounds that we're 240 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.559 going to be able to convert it to more space that will provide us another, 241 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.559 you know, four to five hundred spaces. He says. The new 242 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.119 eighty eight or cemetery in Gypsum Canyon will be next to the first veteran cemetery 243 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.519 for Orange County in Orange County, Corbin Carson KFI News Governor Newsom assigned a 244 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:17.680 bill to ban school boards from rejecting textbooks based on teachings about people from different 245 00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:22.319 racial backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Newsom says the law passed 246 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.920 yesterday takes effect immediately, and simmons California's role as the true freedom state. 247 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:33.599 California labor organizations have voiced their displeasure over Governor Newsom's veto of a bill that 248 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:40.440 would require people to be inside autonomous vehicles for at least the next five years. 249 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:45.519 It's extremely disappointing the governor chose state corporations over working people and the will 250 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.680 of California voters. The Teamsters Peter Finn says the union's going to be doubling 251 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:55.559 down on its efforts to put guardrails on the use of a v autonomous vehicle 252 00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.160 technology. Newsom's offices the bill is not necessary and says sting law provides enough 253 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:07.319 authority over autonomous vehicles. A former Riverside County Sheriff's correctional deputy has pleaded not 254 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.799 guilty to a pair of felony drug charges. The Riverside County Day's Office says 255 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:18.400 Jorge Osagara Rocha was caught with more than a hundred pounds of fentanyl and a 256 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.680 gun when he was pulled over September seventeenth. He could get up to ten 257 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.680 years in prison if he's convicted. Another bus carrying migrants from Texas has arrived 258 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:33.359 in La. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights confirmed yesterday's arrival on X formerly 259 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.839 known as Twitter, saying the group included twenty three adults and fifteen kids from 260 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:41.440 Columbia, Ecuador, Honduras, and Venezuela. It's the sixteenth bus load of 261 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.559 migrants to arrive since June. The La City Council approved motion earlier the summer 262 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:52.759 to formally establish La as a sanctuary city. A Fizer plant in North Carolina 263 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.599 damaged by a tornado has restarted production. The plant's roofs were ripped open and 264 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:02.200 pallets of medicine were strewn around in July when the tornado touched down. Weiser 265 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:06.880 says getting a majority of manufacturing lines at the facility back up and running is 266 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:11.640 a proud achievement. Well, skeeters have achieved something. They are bugging us 267 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.799 right into fall. And if you're wondering if it seems like there are more 268 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:26.039 skeeters this year, there are. And the little bugs are called eighties. 269 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.880 I believe where did I put the little pronunciation of it? But they're the 270 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.640 ankle biters. There's the skeeters are out and they're biting your ankles. I 271 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:40.960 personally been pretty lucky, but I haven't been near like wet lands areas or 272 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:42.680 near the beach or anything like that. But you might want to keep the 273 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:48.039 calumine lotion handy because bug people are saying, because of all the rains we 274 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.519 had, including Tropical Storm Hillary or what was left of her, it's like 275 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.880 perfect environment for not only the bugs, but also critters to be out and 276 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.400 about. So you might have seen more critters wandering around. And then La 277 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:07.680 landed first on Orkand's Top fifty mosquito cities this year. Yeah, we're number 278 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.880 one, and the ankle biting mosquito has been I've heard people talking about it 279 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:17.240 more and more, and apparently it's here to stay. The good news is 280 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.119 in all of this is that all of this really wet weather was unusual. 281 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.200 So some experts are saying that this is sort of a singular year and we 282 00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:30.039 should be back to normal Skeeter levels next year. We'll see. Right now, 283 00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.279 let's say good morning to La Kenny Sheriff's Captain Bill Moulder. The reason 284 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.119 we wanted to talk with Captain Moulder is because of a new pilot program that's 285 00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.680 been launched in West Hollywood. It's an app. It's called safe Stop. 286 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.519 So please tell us what it is and how it's going to be used. 287 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:52.799 Safe Stop is a program an app wherein when somebody, a driver who has 288 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.880 the app is pulled over by law enforcement. In this case it will be 289 00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:02.920 in West Hollywood with our West Hollywood Epic deputies, that they could engage the 290 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:08.200 app and then have a two way video conversation with the deputy before the deputy 291 00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:12.799 makes an approach. So it's a tool for us in law enforcement to why 292 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:18.440 seeing, for us to promote a safer and more effective stop, and also 293 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.920 for the driver to allay any concerns about being stopped. Everybody always has concerns 294 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:27.039 when they're being you know, pulled over. Okay, so let's walk this 295 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:30.039 through it. I'm driving along and I'm speeding, not that I would ever 296 00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:36.880 do that, and you pull me over. So as I'm sitting there in 297 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:40.599 my car, how do I know that I can talk to you before you 298 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:45.160 approach the car. So how the system is set up is that it if 299 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.880 you have the app, then we'll have the app too. So if you 300 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.200 press the button on the app, it calls for the officer for the deputy, 301 00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:59.680 then it will ring in the deputy's patrol vehicle and then they could you 302 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:04.119 know, the call, have a video little quick video conference if you will, 303 00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.359 with the driver, and then make the approach only. And again it's 304 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:14.160 optional. If it's you know, the situation allows for that to occur, 305 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:18.319 then we can do that, okay. So it's basically like face timing or 306 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.920 even like a video walkie talkie because it's going to connect you directly with the 307 00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.599 with the deputy who pulled you over. It will connect, yeah, connect 308 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:33.400 directly. The technology is such that it will recognize the same the same r 309 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:41.720 app in the deputy's police vehicle within like twenty or so feet, so it 310 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.359 will do a direct connecting. Yes, it's exactly like a FaceTime or video 311 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.559 call. Okay. And so we know that it's a stressful thing when you 312 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:52.440 get pulled over, mainly because you already know that you did something wrong and 313 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.559 you just got busted for it. But it's a stressful time for the officers 314 00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:02.480 too. How does this help the officers and make sure that they are safe 315 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:07.960 as well? So the officer the deputy too. It's very helpful to first 316 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:12.000 engage the individual via the video call to determine how many people are in the 317 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:19.359 car and the demeanor of the driver and all that is traffic stops are one 318 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:26.799 of the most dangerous situations for law enforcement, and so any tool that we 319 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:32.559 can try out or add to make it safer for us and for the community 320 00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:37.119 to we serve the better, the better the outcomes I think will be with 321 00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:40.599 those stops. Yeah, and I love this idea because, again going back 322 00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:44.079 to just my experience, I know that when I get pulled over, I 323 00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.039 just start like, my heart starts pounding, and I'm like again, usually 324 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:51.079 I know that I've done something wrong, but sometimes you get pulled over and 325 00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:52.119 you don't, and so you're kind of freaking out. So I think that 326 00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:56.240 would be really helpful that you connect to the call and the officers. They're 327 00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:57.079 going, hey, I'm going to come up to the car. Take a 328 00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.519 deep breath. I'm going to be right there. So you've already established the 329 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:04.920 communication exactly. The authors could introduce themselves. You know, I'm Deputy Moulder. 330 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.160 I stopped because you were speeding. I know amy number speed, but 331 00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.200 in this case, you did it, so we're gonna come up and just 332 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.279 chat with you about that. So I think it's real good on both ends 333 00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:22.599 to allay any fears about or concerns regarding running the traffic stop. How do 334 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:25.000 they find the safe Stop app? Is it just in the app store? 335 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:26.440 So yeah, I think if an the app store, you can go on 336 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:33.079 and put it in safe Stop vehicle stop and search for it downloaded. It's 337 00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.799 pretty simple. There's just a little bit of information have to put in. 338 00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:38.599 I think the type of card you have, you know, the make and 339 00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:42.599 model, and and that's it and you're ready to go. So if you 340 00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:48.039 are stopped, and again it's a pilot program is going now, Yeah, 341 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:52.480 yes, we've just ramped it up and we've just started it, so okay 342 00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.319 stopping app, so we appreciate your coverage. That will kind of get the 343 00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:59.359 message out there and people can download the app. Sounds like a really cool 344 00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:03.759 program. So hopefully it'll help everybody be safer and don't speed in the first 345 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.640 place, and you won't get pulled over right exactly, you know, obey 346 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.519 those traffic laws. You won't. But in the case that something happens, 347 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:18.359 you do this can be I think certainly help making the initial contract. Thanks 348 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.960 so much, Captain Molder. Again, it's an app called safe Stop and 349 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:27.119 it's being pilot programmed in West Hollywood right now. So if you're going to 350 00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.000 be in the area, driving through the area, maybe download the app. 351 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.200 I wouldn't say go and then speed and try to get pulled over to see 352 00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.359 if it works. But I think it's it's kind of a cool thing and 353 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.680 hopefully it'll, you know, calm everyone down a little bit more as those 354 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.559 are very very stressful times. I would say that from my personal experience. 355 00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.799 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 356 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:52.960 hour newsroom. A single engine plane has crashed on a soccer field in Wilmington's 357 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.319 injuring two people. The planes builled fuel onto field of Dreams, but Lle 358 00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:00.359 City Fire Captain Adam Van Gerpin says, fortunately there was no fire, there 359 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:04.039 was significant damage to the aircraft and one of those patients did have to be 360 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:08.440 execated by our firefighters. LA City Councilman Tim McCosker says hundreds of kids were 361 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.880 on the field just twenty four hours before the crash yesterday. We have a 362 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:17.519 butane storage facility that's a short distance away. The accident, though tragic, 363 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:19.359 could have been much more tragic, he says. The FEDS are now investigating 364 00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:22.880 the crash of the plane, which took off from Torrents in Wilmington. Corbin 365 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:29.440 Carson k if I News Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson has fallen short of qualifying 366 00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:33.480 for the second Republican debate. The Republican National Committee says to qualify, candidates 367 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:40.000 need a unique donor threshold, a minimum polling requirement, and signed pledges that 368 00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:44.920 include supporting the party's eventual nominee. The seven candidates who were at the first 369 00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:48.319 debate last month. We'll be back on stage tomorrow at the Reagan National Library 370 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:56.200 in Simi Valley. Okay, So if you're wondering what the actors and writers 371 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.839 are striking about, I'm thinking that maybe the broadcasters should be in on this 372 00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:04.319 strike. In the Philippines, there's the GMA network. So it's not our 373 00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.480 Good Morning America, it's the GMA network. In the Philippines, they have 374 00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:18.759 introduced the country's first artificial intelligence generated sportscaster, actually sportscasters. They premiered on 375 00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.599 Sunday, so two days ago. And what are they Well, their names 376 00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:30.359 are Maya and Marco. They're generated by artificial intelligence using image generation, text 377 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:37.559 to speech AI, voice synthesis and generation, and deep learning face animated technology. 378 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:42.279 So they're sportscasters, and they're going to bring the news on NCUBA season 379 00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:48.319 ninety nine, as well as updates on local and international sports station stories that 380 00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:56.039 feature Filipino athletes and GMA integrated News, says the big wigs say. It 381 00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.359 aligns with our mission to serve all communities within the nation and promote inclusivity in 382 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:07.759 our reporting. Yeah, inclusive of everybody except humanity. Maya and Marco the 383 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:15.880 first AI generated sportscasters. I'm scared right now. Let's say good morning to 384 00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:22.640 ABC's tech reporter Mike Dobusky. Good morning, Mike. We've been talking AI 385 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.480 all morning, and Microsoft has big news on AI as well. Yeah, 386 00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.279 that's right, Amy. So they're bringing a big update to Windows eleven, 387 00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:36.759 their flagship computer operating system, today and the big sort of update is Copilot, 388 00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:41.559 which is this AI system AI tool that they've cooked up that is baked 389 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.599 directly into this operating system. Now, if you rewind a couple of months, 390 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.160 you might remember Microsoft added some AI functionality to Being, which is as 391 00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:53.759 search Engine. Was a really big story in the tech world. It kind 392 00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:57.440 of got people to rethink how we search for things online. It provided some 393 00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:02.359 really interesting and help full answers and solutions to some people, and then it 394 00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:07.160 provided some occasionally very wrong and very strange answers to other people. But Microsoft 395 00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.279 says in the months since then, it has sort of refined this technology, 396 00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.000 put some guardrails on it, and now it's baking it directly into Windows, 397 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.200 which is a very popular brand, very popular product for them. It's on 398 00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:21.359 a lot of computers, a lot of PC's, and a lot of enterprise 399 00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:26.519 systems as well. So that the idea here is that you can press a 400 00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:32.240 small shortcut command control C. It will launch a sidebar in your computer and 401 00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:34.519 you can have a conversation with this. There's a little text box. You 402 00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:38.319 can ask this AI questions, you can give it simple commands, and it 403 00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:44.920 will respond to you in what Microsoft says is very human sounding, naturalistic language. 404 00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:48.279 Of course, the caveat here is that you know, these things still 405 00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.799 do get things wrong occasionally. It might be very convenient, but that that 406 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:55.759 is the risk that you run for that level of convenience. Okay, So 407 00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.599 it sounds like what Microsoft is doing is just what I was mentioning about chat 408 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:04.559 GPT, that it can hear and speak spoken words and you can opt into 409 00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:10.720 voice conversations with it, so that functionality has been baked into being. It's 410 00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:14.920 sort of unclear you know how that's going to show up in the actual operating 411 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:19.039 system in Windows, but you're right. Yes, yesterday Open Ai had this 412 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:23.319 very big announcement some big updates coming to Chat GPT, which interestingly enough, 413 00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:30.440 is built on the same large Language model GPT four as BING and Microsoft's sort 414 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.640 of AI efforts. So this is all really one thing that we're talking about 415 00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.400 here. Microsoft kind of gives it its own flavor, maybe put some different 416 00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:41.920 sort of rules around it, but essentially the core engine here is the same. 417 00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:48.079 And yeah, the voice capability through chat GPT, you have five different 418 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.079 voices that you can choose from. You can speak to chat EPT and it 419 00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:55.119 will talk back to you. That was a really interesting thing. Interestingly enough, 420 00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:59.599 they also had a sort of image capabilities integrated into that system as well 421 00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:02.480 yesterday as part of Open Aiyes announcement. Be interesting to see that make the 422 00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:07.720 leap over to Microsoft systems. We haven't really seen that yet, but it 423 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:09.000 could be coming down the line. I think we're just gonna have to wait 424 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:13.240 and see. Have you had a chance to use it yet or is it 425 00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:15.359 just because it's being unveiled today. You haven't seen it yet. I have 426 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:20.759 not. I mean we we saw sort of them demonstrate this last week at 427 00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:23.359 their event here in New York City where they also showed off some hardware products. 428 00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:27.640 But yeah, no, it's just this morning it got announced and I 429 00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:30.119 have not updated it on my computer yet, and not to reveal too much 430 00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:34.400 about the systems here at ABC News Radio, but we still do use Windows 431 00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.559 ten, at least on the computer that I'm talking to you on now, 432 00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:39.799 so you know, there is some updates that need to be done. It 433 00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:44.119 is a free update, and you don't have to opt in, right if 434 00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:47.359 you don't really want, you know, to interface with this new system. 435 00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:52.160 If you're uncomfortable with AI, you can remain on sort of the existing version 436 00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.599 of Windows eleven. Other security updates will come sort of later on. That's 437 00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.000 kind of how Microsoft likes to stagger. It's it's you know, system updates. 438 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:04.119 But eventually you have to update because they'll stop doing the updates to the 439 00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:07.279 older versions like that, which I still think seven was like one of the 440 00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:09.759 best versions. Yes, I agree. Yeah, No, Windows you know 441 00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:15.079 does occasionally sunset or need to sunset. It's sort of existing systems, and 442 00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:16.640 a lot of this just comes back to the fact that they need to keep 443 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:22.559 their security systems current, right the scammers and hackers out there. Their systems 444 00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:27.720 evolve in much the same way that the sort of consumer facing technology evolves. 445 00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:30.200 That means that, you know, it's always important to sort of update your 446 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.920 systems, make sure that your devices are on the latest technology, the latest 447 00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:38.559 stable version of the operating system that is available, and you know that really 448 00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:44.319 does protect you against sort of the evolving cyber threats out there. But again, 449 00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:46.799 you know, this is sort of meant to be a sort of digital 450 00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:52.079 assistant from Microsoft's perspective. That ostensibly means that it won't be in your life, 451 00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:55.279 you know, in an unavoidable way. It'll kind of just be there 452 00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:59.920 on the side. Though. It is worth mentioning amy this technology is cophigh 453 00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:04.400 as they call it is coming to more than just the Windows eleven operating system. 454 00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:06.920 It's going to show up in Edge, which is their web browser. 455 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.360 It's going to show up an outlook, even Microsoft Paint, which is an 456 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:13.000 app that we have not heard Microsoft talk about in a very long time. 457 00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:16.599 He's getting some AI functionality as well. I love him draw me a Picasso. 458 00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:20.480 Right, Well, it's kind of like a little image generator sort of 459 00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:25.320 idea photos also getting some AI capabilities, the ability to blur background stow years 460 00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:29.119 younger. Yeah, well, you know, I mean one day, I 461 00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:32.199 think. But the idea is that, you know, this is sort of, 462 00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:36.920 you know, a technology that Microsoft sees as the future. It's these 463 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:40.199 is unavoidable. I think. Really where Microsoft's head at head is at here 464 00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:45.639 is enterprise technology. They announced that Cope Cope Copilot is coming to Microsoft three 465 00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:51.639 sixty five, which is there sort of like business focused technology, and you 466 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:54.480 know that's going to give you know, people who you know subscribe to this 467 00:34:54.559 --> 00:35:00.400 technology the ability to summarize documents using AI. They can draft emails. They 468 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:04.760 had this really interesting demo where the AI was able to go into your calendar 469 00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:08.280 and your emails and then draft a text message for you, which is kind 470 00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:13.079 of interesting. You can see a variety of different applications there. That particular 471 00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:15.719 version, the enterprise version, is going to be available in November starting at 472 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:20.719 thirty bucks a month. As I mentioned, the sort of more consumer facing 473 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:24.079 version of Windows eleven with the Copilot installed, that's available for download today. 474 00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:28.360 Yeah, and then AI is going to go in and it's going to check 475 00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:30.440 my calendar and go, oh, you have an appointment, and it's going 476 00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:31.760 to send out a text message and it's not going to tell me I'm gonna 477 00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:37.199 still miss my appointment. Well, you know, in the demo, you 478 00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:39.639 do look at the text before it gets sent. They don't actually, you 479 00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:43.480 know, do any of the sending you. There's still sort of an approval 480 00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:45.719 process, but you know you can see down the line, you know, 481 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.360 in an effort to make things more convenient, that could be a thing that 482 00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:52.159 happens. But as of right now, all text messages or all sort of 483 00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:57.679 digital assistants really do defer to the user. You see this with things like 484 00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:00.679 Sirie, things with Alexa, there is like an approval process. They don't 485 00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:05.199 they won't go out and buy something for you. They won't send you a 486 00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:08.159 text. But you know it could happen. It could happen, but I 487 00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:12.679 would just say they try to bake it in. You're just scar I know 488 00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.599 that it's supposed to be this cool thing. I still am very leary of 489 00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:19.800 it, and I know I'm probably time. I don't think you're alone. 490 00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.280 I think many people are still trying to kind of get their heads around this 491 00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:25.199 AI technology. A lot of people are making the argument that we don't really 492 00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:29.719 need this, right, search engines work just fine. Yeah, but you 493 00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:31.440 know, again, the tech world is at this state of flux right now, 494 00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:35.280 where you know, we're not buying computers every year, we're not buying 495 00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:38.119 new phones every year. The ones we have kind of work, and we're 496 00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:44.079 revaluating our relationship with social media and you know, cryptocurrencies and all these other 497 00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:46.880 metaverse technologies. The tech world kind of needs a hit. It seems like 498 00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:51.239 this year they really want AI to be that hit.
