Here's what's ahead on wake up Call. Another day, 16 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.120 another stabbing on a metro bus. The guy was stabbed in the leg on 17 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.359 a bus in Lindwood yesterday morning. It happened near Long Beach Boulevard and Norton 18 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:49.120 Avenue. One person has been arrested. Former President Trump's criminal hush money trial 19 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.799 has ended for the week now that both sides have rested their cases. The 20 00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.640 judge says he'll get final instructions to the prosecution and defense by the end of 21 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.439 the day. Tomorrow. We'll be talking with ABC's Peter Haralambus, who's been 22 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.400 in the courtroom to see it all unfold in just a couple of minutes. 23 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.560 There's a high price to pay to be part of the middle class in California. 24 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.919 To be considered middle class in the state, you need to make between 25 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:17.360 sixty one and one hundred eighty three thousand dollars. Go Banking rates shows that's 26 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.280 a big increase from twenty twenty two, when the middle class was made up 27 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.080 of people who earned forty to one hundred twenty three thousand dollars. Also coming 28 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.479 up later this hour, we've got our tech guru Rich Demiro. He's going 29 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.360 to be talking all things AI. Also, Amy's on it. What am 30 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.479 I on? I'm on the couch. I'll tell you what I'm watching. 31 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.599 At six oh five, it's handled on the news. Investigators have launched an 32 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.960 investigation into Matthew Perry's death, specifically where'd he get all that ketamine that killed 33 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.199 him. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI 34 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.879 twenty four hour newsroom. A man is recovering from being stabbed in the leg 35 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.560 on a metro bus in Lynnwood. Monica Cassius lives in the area. She 36 00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.400 says buses in La County have been sketchy for years, but crime is worse 37 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.599 than ever. They doing drugs in there and the bus drivers can't do anything. 38 00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.599 They you know, my mom got here one day even with the person 39 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.039 there, and it's it's dangerous, like people are trying to go to work. 40 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.400 Ellie Kenny Sheriff's deputies responded to the stabbing just before eleven thirty yesterday morning, 41 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.520 where they quickly detained the attacker who had run off. Mayor Bass said 42 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:23.360 last week she is pushing to get police on metro buses and trains. Lawyers 43 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.159 have sued Orange County, claiming voting centers violate the election code by using the 44 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.599 Internet. There are two provisions in the California Elections Code that conflict with one 45 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:38.520 another. Lex Rex Institute President Alexander Hobberbusch says election code explicitly says no part 46 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.599 of the election system can be Internet connected. We're not alleging any kind of 47 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.039 election fraud. We're not even alleging any kind of irregularity or failure to comply 48 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:52.240 with California state law. This is strictly a statutory challenge. LC Registrar has 49 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.919 said state law allows poll books to be Internet connected, but no part of 50 00:03:54.919 --> 00:04:00.000 the vote counting process is connected. A hearing is set for August in order 51 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.439 Orange County Corbin Carson KFI News. Amsterdam style cannabis cafes are one step closer 52 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:09.240 to becoming a reality in California. The State Assembly passed to bill on Monday 53 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:14.280 that would allow weed clubs to make and sell non cannabis food and non alcoholic 54 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.920 drinks. This is a bill that supports our legal small businesses that just want 55 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:24.319 to diversify their businesses and do the right thing. San Francisco Assemblyman Matt Haney 56 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:29.279 says his bill would create a level playing field for the legal cannabis industry that's 57 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.079 being forced to compete with the black market. It would also allow the cafes 58 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.360 to host live music and other performances. The bills now headed to the state 59 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:41.199 Senate. Several cities in California have ranked as the top one hundred places to 60 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.560 live in the US. The US News and World Report study looked at things 61 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.199 like quality of education, air quality, and crime rates. San Francisco was 62 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:54.519 the top ranked city in California came in at number twenty two. Santa Barbara 63 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.319 and San Diego are the only two cities in southern California to make the top 64 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:03.480 one hundreds to live in the US. Naples, Florida, let's say no 65 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:09.759 good morning now to ABC's Peter Harrelumbos Suh is in the court room for the 66 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:15.040 Trump trial in Manhattan. Peter, on the twenty first day they rested, 67 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.360 but before they did tell us what happened. Yeah, after twenty days in 68 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.720 court, Donald Trump is finally at the point in which he could take a 69 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.079 few days off. Ahead of these closing statements, the defense only called two 70 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.519 witnesses. The paral legal named Daniel Sitco, and Bob Costello, a former 71 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:38.319 legal advisor to Michael Cohen. Costello testified that Michael Cohen told him that Donald 72 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:42.040 Trump was involved in the hush money payment, that he was completely unaware of 73 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.959 it ahead of the twenty sixteen election, though con admitted earlier in his testimony 74 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:50.040 that he lied to Costello about that. Other than Costello and Sitco, the 75 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:55.480 defense called no further witnesses. They didn't call Donald Trump, despite the fact 76 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:59.240 that Trump is sent on multiple occasions he'd like to testify, resting their case 77 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:03.120 only about forty minutes into court yesterday. After that, the lawyers came back 78 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.720 in the afternoon to hash out parts of the jury instructions. Those are kind 79 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.319 of the instructions the judge will give the jury on the law and the evidence 80 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.959 in the case. Now, everyone is set to return on the Tuesday after 81 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.240 Memorial Day for a lengthy day of summations. Okay, And so when the 82 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:24.920 jury the judge is talking about the jury instructions, do the two sides have 83 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:28.399 any say in that or is it just the judge says, here's what's going 84 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:32.160 to happen. Or did the lawyers fight about that too? So the judge 85 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.879 will The judge has full discretion to instruct the jury however he'd like, but 86 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:41.240 he held a conference yesterday to at least hear both sides out. They both 87 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:45.439 made some requests. For example, the prosecution wanted it to make one of 88 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.600 the judge to tell the jury that Donald Trump can still be found guilty for 89 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.839 false fine business records, even if Trump never personally handled the records himself, 90 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:58.720 just getting to motion essentially the creation of those falsified business records. Defense lawyers 91 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.560 wanted the judge to say, but hush money is not inherently illegal. The 92 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.959 judge didn't seem in client to grant that request. Ultimately, it seems like 93 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:11.040 Mersham's going to stick pretty close to the standard legal instructions, telling the parties 94 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.319 he wants to make this as simple as possible for the jury in the case. 95 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.720 Kind of interesting with the request to say, hey, hush money isn't 96 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:24.160 necessarily illegal because it's not, and the judge wouldn't go along with that. 97 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.720 Yeah, defense lawyers have been making this argument since the early days of the 98 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.399 trial. Basically, there's nothing illegal with a non disclosure AGREEP, but essentially 99 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:39.199 paying for silence through a legal agreement, and defense lawyers have suggested that prosecutors 100 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.600 aren't being necessarily very sincere when they call it hush money, because it adds 101 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.319 a negative connotation, makes it sound illegal, when in reality, there's nothing 102 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.879 illegal about it. The judge, however, didn't really want to get into 103 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.759 it. The prosecution argued that if that instruction was included, the judge would 104 00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:00.000 be basically making the defense's argument for them. So we'll see. The judges 105 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.879 said that he'd like to finalize those jury instructions by Thursday. Okay, And 106 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.720 Peter, what's the feeling in the courtroom? Like, does everything kind of 107 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:16.319 chill? Except for I know we had some issues with Costello and the judge, 108 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.600 but like, are people are they feeling anxious or just tired of it? 109 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.279 Or do you kind of get any sense of that? You know generally 110 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.800 and it's hard to save for sure for everyone. It seems like there's been 111 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.440 a bit of exhaustion over the last few weeks. I think the case got 112 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:39.240 rapidly as very major witnesses quickly, so since Stormy Daniels. Really it was 113 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.879 kind of NonStop in terms of some of these witnesses with Michael Cohen and Stormy 114 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.879 Daniels spending multiple days on the witness stand. It seems like it was a 115 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.639 lot o a way for the jury to kind of absorb. It seems as 116 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:54.759 though this six day break is something that's helpful, especially because the deliberations and 117 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.519 the summations are going to be intense next week. We think the summations are 118 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.759 going to take multiple hours as long as the entire day. The jury might 119 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:07.200 even have to stay late, and the deliberations will be unprecedented. We will 120 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.799 really have no warning when a verdict comes back. Within a matter of minutes, 121 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.360 it could go from you just deliberations to Donald Trump, the former United 122 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.440 States president current Republican nominee, being convicted of federal crime. So I think 123 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:28.440 this break is very welcome ahead ahead of next week as opposed to getting everything 124 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.440 done and start like because you said it's going to take several hours. So 125 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.039 is it expected that the closing arguments will be contained to one day or do 126 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:41.240 we know? The judge has said it's possible it rolls over to another day, 127 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.399 which means that we're looking at what six hours of summations over the course 128 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:50.159 of one day. I think Judge Mascham's strong preference is to do it all 129 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.039 in one day. He really doesn't like breaking uptimations. That's what he told 130 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.120 the jury yesterday, even if it means pushing past four point thirty, making 131 00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.519 the jury stay till five or six o'clock at the evening, Okay, and 132 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:05.240 then hopefully they would start deliberating. Then maybe on Wednesday. Yeah, I 133 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.039 think Wednesday's a good guest. They normally don't sit on Wednesdays. But it 134 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:15.039 seems like, given the nature of all this summations go rapidly into deliberations, 135 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.480 the judge is going to make the request that they come in on their day 136 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.080 off to begin deliberating. Okay, perfect, Well, speaking of days off, 137 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.639 you get a couple of days off now, don't you. Oh I'm 138 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.960 very excited. I got to review some transcripts. But the nice long Memorial 139 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.639 Day weekend is something I'm very grateful for. Yeah. Well, you've been 140 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.720 sitting in a courtroom for a very very long time, and we appreciate all 141 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.480 the information that you've given us, Peter, and we look forward to talking 142 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.360 to you next week and see what happens then always my pleasure. All right, 143 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.519 takes your weekend, you too. Let's get back to some of the 144 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.399 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Dozens of pro Palestinian 145 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:54.840 protesters have rallied outside the CSU Chancellor's office in Long Beach, demanding the school 146 00:10:54.039 --> 00:11:00.320 boycott Israel. Those protesters marched from Lincoln Park down Ocean Boulevard into the office 147 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.679 of the chancellor, where a meeting was in session. Cal State Fullerton student 148 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.879 Amy Parker says students are in the CSU system and know where the money's going, 149 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:09.759 and we are here to oppose that and get the CSU system to disclose 150 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:16.279 its investments and divest those investments. Protesters say they want CSU officials to sever 151 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.320 relationships with Boeing, raytheon An, Lockheed Martin because they believe the companies are 152 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.799 supporting Israel's attack on Gaza. About ten of the twenty three CSU campuses were 153 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:31.000 represented at yesterday's rally. Chris Adler KFI News.

While they are indulging one set of students, they're infringing on 158 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:56.919 thousands and thousands of other students, faculty, staff, and Davis residents that 159 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.279 have the right to be on that public university.

Israel has recalled its ambassadors from Norway and Ireland for 166 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:37.039 recognizing a Palestinian state. Spain later announced it too, supports the statehood for 167 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.080 Palestinians. Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris called it an historic, an important day 168 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.360 for Ireland and for Palestine, so oft for hope and encouragement to the people 169 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:52.960 of Palestine at one of their darkest hours. Israel's foreign minister said yesterday Ireland 170 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.200 and Norway intend to send a message to the Palestinians and the whole world that 171 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.960 terrorism pays. He made the comment before Spain announced its recognition of Palestinian statehood. 172 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.519 Officials in Mexico say temperatures are so hot howler monkeys are falling out of 173 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.799 trees and dying. Wildlife specialists say at least eighty three monkeys have been found 174 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.080 dead in the Gulf Coast state of Tabasco. Others were rescued by people who 175 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.600 took them to local vets. By May ninth, at least nine cities in 176 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.360 Mexico had set temperature records. One city hit one hundred and seventeen degrees Poor 177 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.200 monkeys. Dozens have been arrested Following a week long operation to combat crime in 178 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:37.200 the IE, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department did probation and parole checks in 179 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.919 Apple Valley, Victorville, Hesperia, Adelanto, and San Bernardino and targeted those 180 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.480 prohibited from owning weapons and also known gang members. More than twenty weapons were 181 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:52.080 seized, including ghost guns, and fifty one people were arrested. A town 182 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.799 of about two thousand has been devastated by tornadoes that have ripped through town homes 183 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.559 or leveled. Cars and trees are scattered around and Authlorady say several people have 184 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.879 been killed in Greenville, Iowa, southwest of Des Moines. An eleven year 185 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:11.240 old girl is about to become the youngest person to ever graduate from Irvine Valley 186 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.960 College. Athena Elling will graduate with an associate's degree in Liberal Arts with a 187 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:22.159 GPA above three point five. She takes the youngest graduate title away from her 188 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.879 brother, who graduated from Irvine Valley College last year at the age of twelve. 189 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.559 Talk about an overachiever. Wow at six oh five, It's handle on 190 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.039 the news. Humanitarian eight has been moved off the pier the US built off 191 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.000 the coast of the Gaza Strip. But the Pentagon is saying none of that 192 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:43.320 is being delivered to Palestinians who so desperately need it. Let's say good morning 193 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.200 now to KTLA's tech guy and the host of Rich on Tech on KFI. 194 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.399 It's Rich Demiro. Rich. It's all about the AI this week? Oh 195 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.840 yeah, it's all about the AI. I was in Seattle for Microsoft events. 196 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:03.519 They had a couple events that I attended one being something called Build, 197 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.919 which is like their big developers conference, and it was actually kind of cool. 198 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:13.519 Surprise. Sam Altman of open Ai was on stage to chat and kind 199 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.360 of interesting among the controversy. I don't know if you've heard about this controversy 200 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:22.600 with the Scarlett Johansson similar sounding voice on sat GPT. Yeah, so he 201 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.200 didn't address that, but he did say that we are in a time that 202 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.000 is revolutionary. He likened it to the birth of sort of like mobile or 203 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.799 just the Internet in general, and he said, look, this is a 204 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.360 time when if you're a developer, you can really take advantage of these new 205 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:43.799 AI tools and build something that's transformative, disruptive and also just incredible for people. 206 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:50.639 Okay, So and then they did they unveil some new products. Yeah, 207 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.000 so they unveiled a new new products, but also a new class of 208 00:15:54.080 --> 00:16:00.519 products. So the new class of computers are called Copilot plus PCs. So 209 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.759 these have AI baked into the architecture. So they have a special chip called 210 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.440 an NPU. Gets kind of nerdy, but that's neural processing unit that is 211 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:14.519 a chip that is dedicated to processing AI tasks. And so these computers have 212 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.759 a certain baseline of specs. It's got to have sixteen gigabytes of memory, 213 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.600 they have to have two hundred and fifty six gigabytes of storage plus this NPU. 214 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:27.720 That's also a certain level of quality. And so they have that which 215 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.879 people can now go to like a Best Buy and say, Okay, I 216 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.000 want one of these new Copilot Plus PCs because they're kind of engineered for the 217 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.759 next level of Windows. Right. But they also came out with two of 218 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:42.799 their own computers, which are the Surface Laptops and the Surface Pro and you 219 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.720 know, if you know what a surface is, it's kind of like their 220 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.440 tablet slash laptop. And they looked really good, really really nice. Computers 221 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.840 started one thousand bucks their available June eighteenth. Okay, and so those are 222 00:16:53.879 --> 00:17:00.600 separate from the copilots. Yeah, well it built into that. Yeah, 223 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.119 so those are considered. So there's like a class of PCs. Like imagine 224 00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:07.920 you've got like a MacBook, right, and now you've got a Copilot Plus 225 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.000 PC. It's kind of like a branding something. You go to a store 226 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:12.519 that you're like, they're like, do you want a MacBook? Do you 227 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.160 want a Chromebook? You're like, no, I want a Copilot Plus PC. 228 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.839 Like, oh, you want like the best Windows computer that's going to 229 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:23.160 handle the AI tasks that you know, we expect to be able to run 230 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.079 on these things now. Amy. The other thing they introduced, which was 231 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:33.200 probably the one of the most interesting features, is called Recall. And this 232 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.640 is a feature that is now going to be inside these new Windows eleven computers 233 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.079 that remembers everything that you do on your computer. So it almost takes a 234 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:47.240 screen recording of your entire day on your computer. And the idea is that 235 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:52.319 it uses AI to help you find any thing that you looked at on your 236 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.079 computer, even if you can only remember the color of the web page or 237 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.839 one picture or anything, and you can just type it in and it will 238 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:02.920 help you find that. Again, I think this is going to make us 239 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:07.400 all a lot dumber, No, seriously, because you're not using your brain 240 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.920 anymore. You're relying on the computer then more and more to do it, 241 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.759 so your brain doesn't have to exercise. Well, see, I liken it 242 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.920 to an address book. So back in the day, we all knew everyone's 243 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.720 phone number, and that took a lot of brain power, and nowadays, 244 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:23.960 of course, we don't know anyone's phone number, which I think you should 245 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:29.839 know at least a couple, you know, But our brains have been freed 246 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.160 up to take on bigger tasks, and I think that is a very positive 247 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.039 way of looking at all of this. But AI is the same thing because 248 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.799 obviously students and learners and everyone is using AI these days for so many tasks. 249 00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:48.480 Theoretically, that frees up our brain to think about the bigger tasks and 250 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.839 issues in this world and maybe bigger problem solving and let this AI stuff do 251 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:57.160 like the smaller menial tasks. Okay, I like your optimism. Okay. 252 00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:04.359 So Microsoft is also partnering with the Con Academy to give teachers an AI learning 253 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:11.880 tool. I think this is absolutely on incredible. Selcon also up on stage 254 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.759 at Build yesterday. I didn't know much about con Academy. I knew it 255 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:21.119 was a free way to learn. It's like a nonprofit that he started a 256 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.160 couple, you know, many years ago. But now they are giving away 257 00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.960 a free AI tool to teacher that is kind of like a chat GBT, 258 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:32.279 but just for teachers. So it can it can help them plan their lessons, 259 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.759 It can give them ideas and how to teach in the classroom. It 260 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:38.319 can rewrite quizzes for them, like let's say they want to rewrite a quiz 261 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:44.000 for a different grade. It's just an amazing tool for teachers to use, 262 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:45.920 and they say it's going to save a teacher about five hours a week. 263 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.000 This is something that used to cost money, but Microsoft has now teamed up 264 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.759 and donated their computing services and now they're going to give it away to every 265 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:59.279 single teacher in the US for free K through twelve. It's called con Migo. 266 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:06.000 You know CON's friend Amigo. But Amy, I'm really impressed with this. 267 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:10.319 I think if you're a teacher, you should absolutely check this free benefit 268 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.319 out because I think it's really going to save teachers time. And they're of 269 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:18.599 course stressed out these days. Absolutely, So is it something that they'll get 270 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.759 through the schools or they go directly to Microsoft to get it. It looks 271 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.720 like, well it used to be through the schools, but now because it's 272 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:30.119 free, it looks like you can sign up directly. So I say check 273 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.920 it out. And now there's different levels, like students can also sign up 274 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.720 for this and stuff, but that is still all kind of like different. 275 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:41.440 This one thing is the teacher aspect of it. So I was just reading 276 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.640 through all the materials on it, and it's like, I want to become 277 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.359 a teacher now. I'm like, this is incredible, Like I want to 278 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:51.079 make quizzes and come up with ideas on how to teach in the classroom because 279 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:53.599 it just seems like it's such a forward way of thinking here. Yeah, 280 00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:57.599 and we know that teachers work really hard and they work long hours and stuff. 281 00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.000 They get summers off, but they work long hours and they work really 282 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:02.960 hard. So this maybe I'll give them a little bit of a break. 283 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.319 I like it. Yeah, And the stress of that job is not easy. 284 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.880 You know, you're the future of this world. Rest upon your shoulders, 285 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:14.799 all right, rich Demiro, thank you so much for the information. 286 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.920 Of course, you can hear all the great tech information and advice, and 287 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:22.200 I'm guessing you'll still be talking AI this weekend. We've got Rich on Tech. 288 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.720 It's Saturdays from eleven to two right here on KFI. You can also 289 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.400 follow Rich on Instagram, Rich on Tech, his website, rich on Tech 290 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.319 dot tv, and of course your new streaming show where do we Find that 291 00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.839 again? Saturdays at eleven am or Sundays at eleven am. Well, Saturdays 292 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:44.599 an Tonday. I know it's right during the radio show KTLA Plus app Okay, 293 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:45.599 great, thank you, Rich Demiro, talk to you next week. 294 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:52.079 Okay, bye, bye bye. Investigators are looking into how Friends actor Matthew 295 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.759 Perry got the ketamine that killed him seven months ago. The LAPD, d 296 00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.359 EA and US Postal Service are working together to find the source of the drug. 297 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:04.839 Contributing factors to Perry's death were listed as drowning, coronary artery disease, 298 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:10.160 and the effects of a drug commonly used to treat opioid use. He was 299 00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.839 found unresponsive in a hot tub. Sean Combs, also known as Ditty, 300 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.400 is accused of sexual assault in a new lawsuit filed by former model Christy Crystal 301 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.039 McKinney. She says she was sexually assaulted by Combs in two thousand and three 302 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:27.720 in New York City after he gave her laced pot to smoke. McKinney's allegations 303 00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:33.680 come after security video was released last week showing Combs attacking his ex girlfriend Cassie 304 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.640 Ventura in twenty sixteen, and after his homes were raided in connection with a 305 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:42.559 human trafficking investigation. Some proposed changes to ELA's city charter are moving forward. 306 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:47.400 The at Hawk Committee on City Governance spent five hours hearing from city departments about 307 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:49.599 ideas to put before the voters. Most of the ones accepted on Monday were 308 00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:55.519 simple technical changes. Bigger issues like allowing more density in downtown construction projects, 309 00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:59.359 as proposed by Vince Pertoni of the Planning Department, were deferred. Los Angeles 310 00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:03.519 is a clobe with a to have a recognizeabole skyline. The building density issue 311 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.640 and others like whether the city should move to a two year budget cycle could 312 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.359 be heard again at a later date, but not before the ballot measure is 313 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:15.640 finalized in early July. Michael Monks KFI News. The ups driver who was 314 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:19.920 shot and killed in his truck in Irvine last week was shot fourteen times. 315 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:26.519 Police have arrested his childhood friend, forty six year old Ron Fontanosa. He's 316 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.079 charged with murder and could face the death penalty if convicted. Gas prices in 317 00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:34.039 California slowly going down as we head into the summer driving season. Triple A 318 00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:40.000 says weak domestic demand and oil costs have led to prices dropping about ten cents 319 00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.319 a gallon from a week ago and about thirty cents less than a month ago. 320 00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:48.440 In California gases averaging five twenty a gallon. Experts are predicting the downward 321 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:53.599 trajectory will continue into the summer. The Wallace Annenberg Wildlife Crossing project over the 322 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.359 one to one Freeway in Agora Hills is ahead of schedule. Crews have installed 323 00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:03.039 the last of the steel beam across the freeway and it's been done about three 324 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:04.880 weeks early. So the crane that lifted him into place is now going to 325 00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:10.839 be removed from the center median, and overnight freeway closures will end after tonight. 326 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:12.599 At six oh five, it's handle on the news. Another day, 327 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:15.839 another attack on Metro, this time a guy was stabbed on a bus in 328 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.240 Lynnwood. At five point fifty, we're going to be talking with ABC's Stephen 329 00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:26.640 Portnoy about how pro Palestinian protesters have moved from college campuses to Capitol Hill. 330 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:33.640 But right now, Aami's on it, Dami's on it, AMI's on it, 331 00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:41.519 Damie's on it. What am I on? I'm on the stream lots 332 00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.599 and lots of shows. In fact, there are several that I have in 333 00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.000 the queue that I want to tell you about, but I'm kind of waiting. 334 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.359 Some of the series haven't finished yet, so I kind of want to 335 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.920 wait until all of the episodes have dropped to make a final determination. I 336 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.000 started watching one that I thought was going to be really good and it's not 337 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.279 so great. But anyway, I've got a lot of them lined up. 338 00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.920 But dear gentle readers, right now, I'm going to tell you that I 339 00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:11.720 am hooked on Bridgerton again. So season three, if Shonda Rhime's saga about 340 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:17.920 society life in London in the eighteen hundreds is out, and it continues the 341 00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:22.640 stories of the characters in season one and two and then focuses on existing characters, 342 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.519 is their stories kind of blossomed? So the people who were at center 343 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.759 stage for season one are pretty much gone season two. They kind of make 344 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.000 an appearance in season three, but they're really not the focal point of it. 345 00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:41.839 So what is Bridgerton. It's a story about the societal pressures, especially 346 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.599 for young women. I'm finding a husband, but it's a lot more than 347 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:49.400 that. The creator is Chris van Dusen. He says it is a period 348 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:53.079 piece because it's said in the eighteen hundreds. He says it's a little more 349 00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:56.200 traditional, a little more conservative. But then I'm going to say it also 350 00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.319 pushes the envelope of polite society and gets a little bit racy at times. 351 00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:07.000 Van Dusen says it does push boundaries and challenges the idea of what a period 352 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.119 piece can really be. It's a story about friendship, it's a story about 353 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:15.880 love, it's a story about betrayal, secrets, disappointment, and hope. 354 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:21.279 And it's got several different storylines that all kind of are intertwined. And I 355 00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:25.519 will tell you one of the things that I love about Bridgerton is one it's 356 00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:29.920 not political. Because Shonda Rhime's with Gray's Anatomy, I think she's just jumped 357 00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.920 the shark on it. It's so political and it's just I'm ready for that 358 00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.519 to be over. But this one, there's like there's just no politics in 359 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:40.079 it. And the other thing that I think is really great is they have 360 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:48.440 these relationships where race doesn't matter. It's kind of like what the world should 361 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.319 be like. You know that we're kind of color blind and everybody's kind of 362 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:59.400 on an equal playing field and there's not one group that is marginalized and is 363 00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.559 a victim or anything like that, at least in this show. And I 364 00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:06.680 really like that it's more like I think that we should be like it. 365 00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.440 Do you like the people and it's the content of the character, not the 366 00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:12.920 color of their skin. So I love that she's done that with this. 367 00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:18.599 I think the costumes are amazing. The characters have some cool depth. Queen 368 00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.759 Charlotte's hair alone is a show stopper, like it's like three feet tall sometimes 369 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.920 and it's different like on every show. And I love Queen Charlotte's character. 370 00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:32.960 I think it's funny, it's engaging, and each episode really leaves you waiting 371 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.200 for the next one. This season is half over. They drop the first 372 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.240 half of the season and then we have to wait till June thirteenth for the 373 00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:44.359 second half. But I'm going to say, don't wait. I would just 374 00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:48.680 go and watch it now because it is just really great and I don't even 375 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.599 want to tell you any of the storyline storyline, Just go watch it because 376 00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:56.880 it's really a fun ride and it's Bridgerton. It's on Netflix. Oh and 377 00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.799 I forgot to mention the music. Oh my gosh, the music you heard 378 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.480 Cono play and intro. So it takes contemporary songs set to classical music. 379 00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:10.839 So there's something very familiar about it, but the songs are just the soundtrack 380 00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:14.119 is amazing. I love it. So it's Bridgerton on Netflix. You won't 381 00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:17.240 be alone when you watch it because it's the number one stream show on Netflix, 382 00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:21.000 more than forty five million views this week. I say you should get 383 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:23.119 on it too. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 384 00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:27.559 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man on probation who is suspected of 385 00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:33.279 stabbing two German tourists and injuring a third person in Santa Monica has been charged 386 00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:37.119 with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon. The Aally Kenny DA's office 387 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:40.000 says the man, who was out on parole, was arrested Sunday night, 388 00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:44.759 shortly after the stabbings that happened near a parking structure on Fourth Street. He's 389 00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:49.319 said to be arranged today. An ex LAPD detective convicted of killing her ex 390 00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:53.799 boyfriend's wife in nineteen eighty six has been stopped from getting parole. Hearing for 391 00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:57.480 Stephanie Lazarus on Monday included a number of people who spoke in favor of her 392 00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:02.119 release and just as many against it. In April, the governor requested the 393 00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:06.920 State Parole Board review Lazarus's eligibility, and yesterday morning, the board announced it 394 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:10.559 was going to have an additional hearing to figure out why a panel last fall 395 00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:15.839 determined Lazarus was eligible for parole. The board said in its decision that concerns 396 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:18.119 from the governor, paired with testimony from the family of the woman Lazarus killed, 397 00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:22.559 it wanted extra time to look at all the evidence before making a final 398 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.680 decision. Steve Gregor k finows eight Assembly members have rejected a floor vote on 399 00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:32.640 a bill that would remove sanctuary state protections for child predators. This bill is 400 00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:36.279 dead for the year, but you can guarantee that I will be bringing it 401 00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:40.559 back next year when we come back in session. Assemblyman Bill as Sale from 402 00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:44.039 the IE says he tried to force a vote on his bill yesterday because it 403 00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:48.039 was not given a committee hearing. The motion to vote failed with fourteen votes 404 00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.920 in favor thirty six against. The California Supreme Court will hear arguments for and 405 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:57.599 against the state's Proposition twenty two, which designates gig workers like uber and lift 406 00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:03.440 drivers as independent cons It was passed by voters in twenty twenty. Industry experts 407 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:08.200 say that if the court reverses PROP twenty two, ride share prices could double. 408 00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:15.160 New court documents say a federal judge claimed investigators had strong evidence former President 409 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:19.680 Trump committed crimes in his Classified Documents case months before he was charged. Judge 410 00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:25.279 Beryl Howell says more documents were discovered at Mara a Lago after the FBI searched 411 00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:29.240 the property in twenty twenty two. Owl says no excuse was given on how 412 00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:33.599 Trump could have missed the documents in his bedroom. New photos were also revealed 413 00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.759 of Trump aid Walt Nada moving boxes. Tonight, the Dodgers take on the 414 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:42.480 Arizona Diamondbacks, with the first pitch going out at seven o'clock.

Fulton County, 422 00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:25.839 DA has taken a step towards keeping her job. Fannie Willis is handling the 423 00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:30.480 election interference case against former President Trumpey's She's won her primary election in Georgia. 424 00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:34.039 She'll face off against Republican Courtney Kramer in the fall. The judge overseeing the 425 00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:38.720 Trump case, Scott McAfee, is also projected to win his race. The 426 00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:45.440 California Senate has approved reparation proposals that include creating an agency to help black families 427 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:52.039 research their ancestry and determine if they're eligible for restitution. Lawmakers also passed bills 428 00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.720 to, among other things, create a fund to compensate black families for property 429 00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.440 the government seized using eminent domain. The proposal now head to the state Assembly. 430 00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.359 We're just minutes away from a handle on the news. Want to buy 431 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:06.640 a house, Well, it's going to cost you. The state wide medium 432 00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:09.240 price for a house has topped nine hundred thousand dollars in California for the first 433 00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:15.079 time. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. So, 434 00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:19.359 Stephen, the pro Palestinian protests have made their way from college campuses right 435 00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.039 onto Capitol Hill, and I'm sure they'll continue today as Secretary of State b. 436 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:28.799 Lincoln is before a couple of House committees, and yesterday some protesters tried 437 00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.799 to interrupt his testimony for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. But that's not out 438 00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:35.759 of the ordinary here, and you see it from time to time, protesters 439 00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:38.480 trying to stand up and demonstrate swiftly escorted out from the hearing room, and 440 00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:44.400 as scheduled, a handful of people arrested. Again, not out of the 441 00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:49.240 ordinary. And yet you know, it becomes a bit of a flashpoint because 442 00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.519 you know, it's a bit into chorus, and so people stand up and 443 00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.880 scream loudly that Blincoln is war criminal, and off they go. Yeah. 444 00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:00.079 I think it's just amazing how people have just kind of, like you said, 445 00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:07.640 the quorum, everybody's just lost all sense of society and good behavior and 446 00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:09.519 that kind of stuff because they just need to yell. I guess, well, 447 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:13.640 look, it's not out of the historical norm. I mean, it's 448 00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.960 certainly something we've seen in the past. You can go back to the Vietnam 449 00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:20.880 era. But I think that this is and the Iraq War era, So 450 00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.519 it's really very much in keeping with a pattern. But I think, you 451 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:28.960 know, you could draw a line between the activities of protesters and the activities 452 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.400 and members of Congress. That's a separate matter. Yeah, Okay. So 453 00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:36.640 when Anthony Blinkn was able to speak, what did he talk about yesterday? 454 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:38.359 Well, look, the headline from the hearing from my perspective, was the 455 00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:45.480 continued criticism of the International Criminal Court for its chief prosecutor this week calling for 456 00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:52.759 the arrests of Benjamin et Yahoo and the Defense Minister you have Gallant in addition 457 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:58.640 to the arrests of Hamas leadership, the idea that there's some degree of equivalence 458 00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:02.720 between the ISRAE leaders and the Hamas leaders, which has led to bipartisan condemnation 459 00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:07.039 here in Washington, and yesterday the Secretary of State called it shameful. Now 460 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:13.559 the big question is will Congress now act to pass sanctions against the International Criminal 461 00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:17.400 Court, an organization stood up about a quarter century ago to sort of be 462 00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:22.119 a standing war crimes tribunal. Now, the United States has never recognized the 463 00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:25.920 jurisdiction of the ICC, and in fact, in the early days of its 464 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.480 creation, about twenty five years ago, the United States Congress passed a law 465 00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:35.199 that said that if the ICC were to think that it might prosecute an American 466 00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:39.039 service member for alleged war crimes, the President of the United States is authorized 467 00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:44.559 to use force, if necessary, to go in and get that service member 468 00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:49.559 out of any kind of custody. So the idea is that the United States 469 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:54.559 does not recognize the jurisdiction of this international tribunal because we have our own system 470 00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:59.519 of military justice here in the United States that we take extremely seriously, and 471 00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:05.159 we're not our authority to some court that has no accountability to the American people. 472 00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:09.480 The idea that Benjamin net Yaho might be subject to prosecution by this court 473 00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:14.000 has run a foul of leaders of both parties here in Washington. The President 474 00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:16.280 this week is called it outrageous. Yesterday I mentioned blinking, called it shameful, 475 00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.079 and he signaled that the United States government might be open, that is, 476 00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:24.119 the administration might be open to sanctions against the ICC, which is something 477 00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:28.760 that Republican leaders are talking about here in Washington. So we'll see how it 478 00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.639 all plays out. One other thing to mention yep, and that is that 479 00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:37.480 despite the criticism that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has leveled at net yahou, 480 00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:44.119 the idea that he's an obstacle piece, that he there ought to be new 481 00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:49.679 elections in Israel. Yesterday, Chuck Schumer signaled his openness to hosting net Yahoo 482 00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:53.239 in an address to a joint meeting of the Congress. The wins continue to 483 00:35:53.280 --> 00:36:00.239 shift here, and with the ICC move the fierce blowback, you might even 484 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:04.519 see a bipartisan invitation to then Yahoo to speak to Congress. Wow. Okay. 485 00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:09.480 And then the other thing that I believe Blinkn talked about was the State 486 00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:15.440 Department says Israel is trying to get humanitarian aid into Gaza because there's been a 487 00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:19.480 lot of talk that Israel's just not letting it in. Well, look, 488 00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.079 I mean, the United States has been leaning on Israel to do more, 489 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.760 and the ideas is Israel doing more. And I guess if Blincoln said that, 490 00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:30.519 then that's his perspective. Obviously, the protesters feel differently. I think 491 00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:36.480 ultimately one of the bigger questions from a policy standpoint is will the United States 492 00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:39.320 try to exert additional pressure on Israel? Will to be any further withholding of 493 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:43.440 weapons. I don't know. Will the Israelis go into Rafa, I don't 494 00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:46.559 know. Will the United States stand in the way of this new push by 495 00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:52.360 some European countries Spain and Ireland and Norway, I understand, who want the 496 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:59.440 United Nations to recognize Palestine as a freestanding member state. The United States repeatedly 497 00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:04.119 in the way of that. And why Because if it were to be that 498 00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:08.880 Palestine were a free standing member state, Israel be violating the UN Charter ostensibly 499 00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:14.239 and engaging in war against a fellow UN member state, as opposed to, 500 00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:20.000 you know, engaging in self defense against a non state actors such as Hamas. 501 00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:25.920 And this is a difficult political question, a geopolitical question which has seen 502 00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:30.639 in the United States consistently standing with Israel. It's also a possible pressure point 503 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:36.199 for the US Israel relationship, a possible point of leverage for the Biden administration. 504 00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:38.760 Yeah, and when you just brought up a really interesting point too. 505 00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:44.800 If Palestine became a member state and Israel was a member state, and they 506 00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:47.599 were fighting against each other, and the UN is obligated to stand behind the 507 00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:52.079 UN state member state, who would they side with well, that's I mean, 508 00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:55.280 look, ultimately, you know, the UN was created in the post 509 00:37:55.280 --> 00:38:00.360 World War era to kind of sort of mediate flick between countries, and the 510 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.679 charter suggests that, you know, one country should not go to war with 511 00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.719 another or invade another. It hasn't stopped Russia, for example, from invading 512 00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:15.039 its neighboring country Ukraine. So it's a complicated situation. What we talk about 513 00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:22.119 international law is if it's anything other than gentlemen's agreements between powerful gentlemen. It's 514 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.199 not and there are sanctions that could be brought to bear, but at the 515 00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:28.840 end of the day, the international community doesn't exactly have its own army. 516 00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:36.760 So it would be a complicating factor in a tense and precarious political situation. 517 00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.960 And you will continue to help us uncomplicated, and we appreciate that. Thank 518 00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:43.239 you, Stephen Portnoy, I appreciate it. You bet. All right, 519 00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:45.400 let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 520 00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:47.800 hour newsroom. A Metro writer's recovering from being stabbed in the leg on a 521 00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:51.559 bus in Lynnwood. The man was stabbed as the bus came to a stop 522 00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:53.920 on Long Beach Boulevard and Norton Street, where the attacker ran off but was 523 00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:59.239 quickly detained. Monica Cassius as a local and says crime in La County in 524 00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:02.840 general is out of control. It's very dangerous day and night. There's a 525 00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:07.199 lot of things that shouldn't be going on. I've seemed the bad, the 526 00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:09.039 good, and this is the worse. The man was stabbed just before eleven 527 00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:13.440 thirty yesterday morning, and it's still unclear what may have provoked the attack, 528 00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:16.559 if anything at all. Mayor Bass said last week the Metro isn't safe and 529 00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:21.920 is pushing for police to board buses and trains. Chris Adler kf I News. 530 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:27.480 Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has pleaded not guilty to nine felony 531 00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:30.159 charges in Arizona, stemming from his role in an effort to overturn the state's 532 00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:34.800 twenty twenty election results. He called into his arraignment late, saying he got 533 00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:37.239 the time wrong, eventually being cut off by the jodge as he started giving 534 00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:45.199 his views on the case. I loofe and a complete embarrassment. ABC's Alex 535 00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:49.639 Stone says the judge ordered Juliani to turn himself in in Arizona and set bond 536 00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:53.039 at ten thousand dollars. Ten others, including former Arizona Republican Party chair Kelly 537 00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:58.280 Ward, also pleaded not guilty to conspiracy, forgery and fraud charges. And 538 00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:01.880 the USS Carl Vinson has into the Port of la for Fleetweek. It marks 539 00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:07.199 the first visit to the port by a Nibbitts Class aircraft carrier in thirteen years. 540 00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:12.440 They're so big. The Nimitts class includes ten nuclear powered carriers with the 541 00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:15.039 US Navy. The ship is docked at Cabrio Beach. It offers views from 542 00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:20.280 the angels Gate Lighthouse to the Outer Harbor Dock, where the ship will remain 543 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:24.199 through Memorial Day. Fleetweek is held every year to celebrate USC services and service 544 00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:29.239 members. It officially kicks off this afternoon.
