Gascone says Hunter was injured by the glass and left bloodstains 47 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:45.120 throughout the home. The DA says Hunter targeted the Mayor's home. Hunter made 48 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:52.159 his first court appearance yesterday.

Anaheim's Mike Lister says his 51 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.840 city got more than three million dollars to clear about one hundred people along the 52 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:10.520 ninety one freeway. You've got people in medias, You've got people alongside ramps, 53 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.919 places where nobody should be from their own safety. He says.

Dozens of pro Palestinian protesters have barricaded 58 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:43.079 themselves inside two buildings at cal Poly University Humble in northern California. They joined 59 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.399 demonstrators at colleges across the country who have set up camps, occupied buildings, 60 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:51.360 and ignored demands to leave. More than one hundred pro Palestinian demonstrators at Columbia 61 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:57.759 University were arrested last week. Dozens more have been arrested at other campuses since 62 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.639 then. Many are facing charges of trespa or disorderly conduct.

America hears you we will be there for you. Schumer says 70 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.399 the bill is one of the most consequential measures Congress has passed in years to 71 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:43.240 protect America's security and its future. It also forces TikTok's China based parent company 72 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:47.959 to sell the app or face being banned from US devices and networks. It's 73 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.199 five oh seven on your wake up call. Let's say good morning now to 74 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:57.920 ABC's Peter Haralambus, who's got the proverbial front row seat to the Trump hush 75 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.240 money trial in New York. Good morning, Peter, Thanks for having me. 76 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.199 Hey, thanks for making time to come and stop by and talk to 77 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.800 us today. I know that we were trying to talk to you yesterday had 78 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:11.120 some technical issues, so we wanted to be sure to talk to you today 79 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.279 since you're one of the reporters in the courtroom. How many reporters are in 80 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.720 the courtroom now, there's about sixty of us in there. We're locked in 81 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.680 there for the entire proceedings and we're allowed to leave. We're not allowed to 82 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:26.839 eat, we're not allowed to drink or talk. So it's a front row 83 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.079 of seat and there's certainly a lot to see, especially after yesterday. Okay, 84 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.120 so tell us what happened yesterday. So it began with a very heated 85 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.399 hearing about whether or not to hold Donald Trump in criminal contempt for violating the 86 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:45.439 limited gag order in the case on at least ten separate occasions. Occasions prosecutors 87 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.519 at this point want to find Trump ten thousand dollars and they want the judge 88 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.800 to warn Trump that if he does it again, he could be put into 89 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:56.079 jail. Now that's actually a serious concern at this point. According to sources 90 00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:00.600 familiar with the matter, there have been meetings here in New York about logistics 91 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.199 here with the Secret Service, about putting Trump in a temporary confinement sell at 92 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.839 the courthouse, or even sending him to rikers. So this is a legitimate 93 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:12.120 concern for the former president. He could face fines, future penalties can include 94 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.240 jail time, and for his lawyers, it's really creating an issue. The 95 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.839 judge even lashing out against one of his lawyers in court yesterday, telling him, 96 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.639 quote, you're losing all credibility in this court. When the lawyer at 97 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.040 that point attempted to argue that the gag order violations weren't wilful and that they 98 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.279 were just political speech. Oh okay, But then ultimately the judge didn't make 99 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:40.839 a decision on the gag order or anything in that thread yesterday before I testimony 100 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:45.000 resumed. Yeah, that's right, So the judge reserved decisions. So we're 101 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.839 kind of on standby, waiting for a decision at any moment really about whether 102 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.519 or not the former president will be held in contempt. In addition, we 103 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:58.680 expect prosecutors will likely tack on two additional contempt charges that essentially Trump. They 104 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.040 alleged that Trump violated the gag order in the hallway on Monday where he attacked 105 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.439 Michael Cohen. He also did an interview with one of our affiliates where he 106 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:11.360 attacked Michael Cohen again yesterday morning before court. So we expect that fine possibly 107 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.759 to inch up to about twelve thousand dollars, and then we'll just have to 108 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.040 see. Trump has compared himself to a modern day Nelson Mandela when it comes 109 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.240 to this gag order, So we'll just have to see whether or not he 110 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.040 decides to tempt fade again and possibly violate the gag order and see what the 111 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.839 judge does. So, Peter, I have a question, I'm not sure 112 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:33.519 if you know, but on a gag order like this, is it common 113 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:39.200 to be only imposed on one side and not both. You know, that's 114 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.759 one thing that makes the Trump gag order unique here in the civil in this 115 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.960 criminal case, because if you look at this pass batgag orders, for example, 116 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.480 the one in Washington, DC and the one in the civil fard case 117 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.600 in New York that was technically for all the parties in the case, this 118 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.759 gag order is slightly unique and that it's only applying to Trump. But I 119 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.559 mean, functionally speaking, Trump's really the only person who's at risk of violating 120 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:05.399 this thing something that he's you know, and if you look back to his 121 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.320 civil fraud case last fall, Trump violated the gag order on two separate occasions. 122 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.080 And according to sources who spoke with ABC News ahead of the trial, 123 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.279 this was a legitimate concern among Trump's lawyers that Trump might go off the rails, 124 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.840 go speak to cameras and unintentionally violate the gag order or do something that 125 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.600 hurts his own case. And it seems like we're seeing that play out in 126 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.679 real time, where you know, after opening statements on Monday, Trump exited 127 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.919 the hall, exited the courtroom, went into the hallway, and subsequently, 128 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.639 according to prosecutors violated the gag order yet again, imperiling his own position and 129 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.600 putting his lawyers in a difficult place as well. Well. And when you 130 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.399 and I talked yesterday, when we were having those technical issues, you had 131 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.480 said that Trump is having to just sit there and let his lawyers do all 132 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.720 the talking. And it's like it seems like he just has to sit there 133 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.600 and not say anything for so long that as soon as he leaves the courtroom 134 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.600 he's just got to explode. I know. I mean yesterday, despite having 135 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.679 four hours of proceed in this case, Trump only said two words in that 136 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.679 courtroom, and that was a good morning when he entered the courtroom to the 137 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.240 judge. So Trump has to sit there, he has to let his lawyers 138 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.399 do the talking. Yesterday, this was actually someone fastening. Trump walked into 139 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.519 the courtroom clutching a large stack of papers. Basically from what I could see 140 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:24.480 from my seat in the courtroom, they appeared to be news clippings and screenshots 141 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.399 of social media posts where whenever Trump's lawyers were at a sidebar, leaving Trump 142 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.000 alone at the council table, Trump occupied his time by flipping through the news 143 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.519 clippings. You could see when his lawyers came back, Trump would pass them 144 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.919 around, pointing out certain lines. He mused them as a little prop in 145 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.720 the hallway when he left after the proceedings ended. But it seems as though 146 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.200 he's occupying his time. He's not falling asleep. He's attentive. And during 147 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.559 the testimony of David Pecker, which resumed yesterday, Donald Trump was fully locked 148 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.720 in, shaking his head at times responding or just fully staring at Pecker as 149 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.639 he tell some of these salacious allegations. Okay, so we're off today, 150 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.159 Peter, and then do we know who's going to testify tomorrow? Is David 151 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.799 Pecker Dunn or is he going to continue? David Pecker will pick up on 152 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.159 Thursday morning at nine thirty. Pecker's testimony. He's the first witness in this 153 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.360 case. He's the narrator basically for all these allegations. And yesterday he brought 154 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.840 jurors into a secret meeting in twenty fifteen where they hatched this scheme to catch 155 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.919 and kill negative stories. He's testified of about two of the hush moneytaymans, 156 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.159 once to a Trump Tower doorman who alleged the Trump had a child out of 157 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.320 wedlock that was a false story, and then the second one a alleged affair 158 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:41.679 with Karen McDougal. On Thursday. We expect him to really get into the 159 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.480 true hardest testimony, the Stormy Daniels payoff, which led really to the thirty 160 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.799 four criminal counts in this case. Okay, so get into the juice tomorrow, 161 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.320 all right, Peter Harlambus, thank you. I said your name wrong 162 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.559 again, but I'll get it right eventually. No worries at all. Thank 163 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:00.000 you so much for having me. Thank you so much for your time time 164 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.600 today and all that great information. Have fun not eating and not drinking and 165 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.159 not talking in the courtroom. Coo, Well, all right, let's get 166 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.159 back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 167 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:16.039 The California Hospital Association has sued Anthem Blue Cross, claiming the insurance company 168 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:22.080 is violating safety laws. Patients are remaining in the hospital waiting for insurance company 169 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.480 authorizations and approvals. How can we stop the delay tactics and how can we 170 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:35.919 ultimately require compliance with California's laws? Association president and CEO Carmela Coyles's Anthem is 171 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:41.879 not meeting legal obligations to arrange for timely access to care for its members. 172 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.919 That means patients are backing up in the emergency department who are waiting for that 173 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.679 bed otherwise available in the hospital, and most important, it means that patients 174 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.320 are unable to get the level of care they need. She says they're suing 175 00:12:54.399 --> 00:13:00.120 because patients are suffering. A dust advisories in effect for most of Riverside County 176 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:05.120 the South Coast air Quality Management Districts as strong winds could cause elevated particle pollution 177 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.080 that could result in air quality levels that are unhealthy for sensitive groups. Officials 178 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.279 suggest staying inside with doors and windows closed. The advisory will be in effect 179 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:20.039 until Friday night. Caltrans may be adding bike lanes along Topanga Canyon Boulevard from 180 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.799 the one eighteen Freeway to Mulholland Drive. The proposal is still in the very 181 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.440 early stages, and if approved, the project wouldn't start until twenty twenty eight. 182 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.759 Caltrans spokesman Eric Manivad says the bike lanes would provide a safe option for 183 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.720 people who may not want to drive in the area as part of our active 184 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:39.000 transportation plan, and it's also part of LA's mobility plan, which identifies to 185 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.919 pang Can Boulevard as a as a location for bike lanes. The project would 186 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.200 add bicycle turn signals, new crosswalks, and bicycle signage. People against the 187 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.720 projects say they're worried it would only create traffic jams and distract drivers. Chris 188 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:56.039 Adler KFI News. The FTC is banning non compete agreements that stop people from 189 00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:01.200 working for competitors or starting a new competing big business when leaving a job. 190 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.120 It says about eighteen percent of the workforce in the US, or thirty million 191 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.039 people, is under such agreements. The new rule would force companies to let 192 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:15.320 current and past employees know the agreements won't be enforced. Some business groups are 193 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.840 expected to take legal action to block the rule from going into effect. Ah 194 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.639 I've been the victim of a non compete before. They're no fun. The 195 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.960 Dodgers take on the Nationals this afternoon in Washington, with first pitch going out 196 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.480 at three forty five.

The Senate has passed a ninety five billion 200 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.519 dollar bill that includes a mandate to force TikTok's China based parent company to sell 201 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.639 the social media platform or be banned in the US. It's expected to face 202 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:58.440 legal challenges and could disrupt the lives of content creators who rely on the short 203 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.720 form video app for income. Five kids have been heard after crashing a car 204 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:07.120 into a cinderblock wall in Boyle Heights. The boys are twelve to fourteen years 205 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.080 old. The crash happened during a police chase last night. The driver fourteen 206 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:13.639 years old. Some of the boys were trapped in the crash car and had 207 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.279 to be cut out of it. All were taken to the hospital. Amazon 208 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.000 has canceled drone delivery in California. It says it's closing Prime Air delivery in 209 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.679 the state so it can expand the service in other areas of the country. 210 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.919 There's no word on whether Prime Air will return to California in the future. 211 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.639 At six so five, it's handled on the news. A guy pulled over 212 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.279 for DUI has been arrested in connection with the shooting of an La County Sheriff's 213 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.440 motorcycle deputy. Let's say good morning now to ABC's text specialist. It's Mike 214 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.919 Dubuski. Good morning, Mike, morning Amy. How are you good? 215 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.320 Hey? I just mentioned that the Senate passed that foreign aid bill. It 216 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.480 also includes a requirement for TikTok to sell. Yeah, that's correct. So 217 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.759 President Biden has committed to signing this legislation. Of course, it is bundled 218 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:03.799 along side other foreign aid to places like Ukraine and Israel. This bill did 219 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:08.679 pass the Senate seventy nine to eighteen. And when President Biden signs this bill, 220 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.799 which we expect to happen as soon as today, it is TikTok on 221 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:17.559 the clock and the party will stop for Byte Dance, which is their Chinese 222 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:22.120 parent company, if they don't divest from TikTok. Now, they have about 223 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.080 nine months in order to do that, to cut a deal with an American 224 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.799 company or a group of investors if at that time a deal is germinating but 225 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.519 it's not quite done, while the President can tack on an additional three months, 226 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.159 so they have up to a year in order to sell this very popular 227 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:41.080 social media app. Does it have to be sold to a US company. 228 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.679 That's correct, that's the idea here a group of investors, and that brings 229 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.519 up another concern here is that there's only a couple companies out there who are 230 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.639 likely to be able to afford TikTok. Yeah, what's it. We don't 231 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.159 know specifically for the app itself, but byte Dance, which is the parent 232 00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.000 company, is valued at about two hundred and twenty five bill billion dollars and 233 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.920 TikTok is sort of its flagship product at least here in the US. It 234 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:10.200 boasts one hundred and seventy million monthly active users. A bunch of businesses rely 235 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.680 on it as well. So this is expected to be a very, very 236 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.559 big deal and that will one take a lot of time in order to organize, 237 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:22.880 and again will probably be only reserved for the largest companies in the world, 238 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.960 people like Meta and Google. And you can imagine if any of those 239 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.119 companies step forward expressing interest in acquiring TikTok, well that's going to attract the 240 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.759 attention of antitrust regulators as well. But even before any of that happens, 241 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:41.319 we expect TikTok to mount a legal challenge, probably on First Amendment grounds. 242 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:48.200 Essentially saying that taking away TikTok is removing a crucial platform for speech for Americans. 243 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.119 And there's a chance that a federal court could rule that this legislation is 244 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.519 unconstitutional, which would send everybody back to the drawing board. And if it's 245 00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:03.880 owned by a Chinese group, do they have standing in US courts? Well, 246 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.400 I mean this would be from TikTok's perspective, presumably, and they have 247 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.519 American offices and lawyers who could do this. TikTok itself, interestingly enough, 248 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.079 is headquartered in Singapore, not in China. The Byte Dance, of course, 249 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:19.319 is headquartered in China, which goes back to the concern that lawmakers have 250 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.839 raised here is that you know, China could come knocking on Byteedance's door and 251 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:29.480 say, hey, you know, share this information with us about this American 252 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.400 user. There are reasons to be skeptical of some of these concerns, though, 253 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.440 amy one being that if you're a Chinese spy or a dissident and you 254 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.200 know you're communicating via TikTok DM, well you're not a very good spy. 255 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.960 And also the other concern that lawmakers have raised is the potential for TikTok to 256 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:51.759 be used for propaganda, which many experts have sort of raised their eyebrows about 257 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:57.000 with regards to previous foreign influence campaigns on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, 258 00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:02.920 maybe not as influential as you know, they really could have been. 259 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:06.359 So that has caused some to maybe be a little bit skeptical of some of 260 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.839 the concerns that lawmakers have raised. In addition, there's no evidence that these 261 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:14.200 lawmakers have put forward that either of those things is happening. Interesting except that 262 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:19.039 yesterday FBI Director Christopher Ray said, yes, TikTok is a threat because of 263 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:23.519 that misinformation element. And what's That's another part of it as well, of 264 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.319 course, is that you know, this is a social platform that is very 265 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.839 popular among young people, and you know, you can get on there and 266 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.960 say a whole variety of different things that are not true if you so choose 267 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.720 to do that, and you could potentially go viral for that. Now, 268 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:42.559 TikTok has content moderation guidelines in place, But in addition to that, it's 269 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:48.119 just, you know, kind of a separate issue than the foreign influence idea. 270 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.920 The foreign influence idea has to do with propaganda and rallying people around you 271 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.839 know, a pro China narrative. That's kind of hard to do, you 272 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.880 know, given how difficult it is for any campaign to gain action on social 273 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.079 media. And you know, if you look back to the Russian influence campaign 274 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.559 ahead of the twenty sixteen election, that was mainly aimed at kind of dividing 275 00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:12.480 people, at pushing people apart, not rallying them behind a common cause. 276 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:18.039 So you know, again there is certainly the potential for misinformation on TikTok. 277 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.839 Will it come in the form of Chinese propaganda? We have not really seen 278 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.079 any evidence come forward yet. So these are certainly plausible concerns, they're just 279 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.960 not they're not, you know, evidence to base yet they're hypothetical. Okay, 280 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:34.119 So the clock is tiktoking for TikTok to sell, and you need somebody 281 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:38.319 with a lot of money, maybe Elon Muskill buy it. I mean, 282 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.880 like, given Tesla's most recent earnings report, which we got to look at 283 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.240 last night from Tesla, he might not be able to afford it either. 284 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.880 What was the earnings report? So this was their quarter one earnings. This 285 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:55.759 was a highly anticipated call and it was real bad amy. Profits were down 286 00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:00.000 for Tesla fifty five percent year on year, revenues were down nine percent, 287 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:06.680 and Musk blamed these kind of negative numbers on conflicts in the Red Sea, 288 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.240 an attack at its Berlin factory that resulted in an arson case, as well 289 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.880 as the rise of hybrid vehicles. And this all of course comes amid slowing 290 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:21.319 demand for electric vehicles generally, which has caused Tesla over the last year to 291 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:25.240 slash prices, perhaps contributing to some of these numbers that we're seeing. These 292 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.920 are new lows for the company. The company hasn't seen negative numbers like this 293 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:33.720 in about six years. Though it's worth mentioning they still made a billion dollars 294 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.160 worth of net profits and they are now again the largest EV company in the 295 00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:41.839 world, reclaiming that title from a Chinese firm called byd. I'm wondering, 296 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:48.359 Mike, if the sales are down because the number of people who want Tesla's 297 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.839 and want to buy electric cars is kind of topped out. That is potentially 298 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:57.640 the truth there amy this. The logic the analysts will tell you is that 299 00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:03.039 the EV sector is undergoing a pretty major shift right now. We're moving away 300 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.079 from the early adopters, the people who have high tolerance for frustrations with charging 301 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:12.200 and public charging infrastructure, the extra cost outlay at the beginning for buying an 302 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:17.960 electric vehicle, the premium that they command over traditional gas cars. That sector 303 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:21.799 of the market now have already bought their evs right So now the EV sector 304 00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:26.000 has to gain the attention of mainstream consumers who have a lower tolerance for all 305 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:30.160 that sort of thing. So that is a challenge that is facing every EV 306 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.799 company right now, as well as Tesla. Tesla is in a particularly fraught 307 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:40.279 moment right now because traditional automakers have now spun up pretty competitive electric vehicles. 308 00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:45.319 Both Hyundai and Kia, BMW, General Motors forward, they all have cars 309 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.359 that compete pretty competitively with Tesla products. Do they cost a lot less? 310 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.640 It depends on what we're talking about here. Given that Tesla has slashed prices, 311 00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:57.359 they are pretty cheap now, I mean at least comparatively speaking. And 312 00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:02.799 elon Musk yesterday and now that some cheaper models are in the pipeline, these 313 00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:06.000 could be replacements for the Model three in the model why really, they're bread 314 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:10.599 and butter products and they will run on next gen architecture, which we supposedly 315 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:14.599 will get a look at on August eighth, which is when Tesla will unveil 316 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:19.400 the cyber Cab, which is the robotaxi that kind of underpins their next phase. 317 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.279 They say, where they're going to transition away from being a traditional car 318 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.759 maker into a company that operates a fleet of robotaxis. Of course, there 319 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.680 are a lot of question marks around that as well. And interestingly enough, 320 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:37.240 given those announcements, Tesla shares were actually up after all these negative numbers yesterday. 321 00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.160 Okay, and we are of course out of time, but I want 322 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:42.559 to ask you really quick about the Rabbit launch party that you went to last 323 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.720 night. What's Rabbit? So, Rabbit's a new company, It's an AI 324 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:49.599 company that's making a new piece of hardware. It's a little orange device that 325 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:55.599 is kind of the latest in an emerging genre of AI powered device, artificial 326 00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:59.279 intelligence making its way out of the software world and into the hardware world. 327 00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:02.839 The idea behind this device is that it will cut down the amount of steps 328 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:07.079 it takes to do something on your phone. So instead of opening your phone, 329 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.319 unlocking it, trying not to get substracted by TikTok or Twitter, and 330 00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:12.359 then opening Uber and calling a car this thing, you can just pull it 331 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.640 out, speak into it say, hey, call me an uber to JFK 332 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.640 Airport and it will organize that for you. And so it's like next generation 333 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.880 series sort of. It's kind of like very advanced SERI and it's got a 334 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:27.039 camera and it you know, does a whole host of other things as well, 335 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:30.119 food delivery and it will check stocks and you know, take pictures and 336 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:36.079 you know, identify things for you. But it is it's I would say, 337 00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:38.079 it's very interesting looking. It's bright orange. It's designed by a company 338 00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:41.799 named Teenage Engineering, which has a sort of retro futurism kind of vibe to 339 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.279 it. They unveiled it at the TWA Hotel here in New York City last 340 00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.720 night, which is this sort of very sixties inspired, fancy, you know, 341 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.599 glitzy hotel. It was cool. They had a DeLorean like it was. 342 00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:56.240 It was a lot of fun. But yeah, the big question, 343 00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:59.559 of course, is does this thing actually work in the real world. And 344 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:02.240 I spoke to some early adopters and they say, they're going to give me 345 00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:04.640 a callback next week to see how this thing operates in the real world. 346 00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:08.480 Is it available to the public now or is it still kind of being test 347 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:11.279 run. It is available to the public, you can go buy one. 348 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.920 Of course, this first batch was for the people who first plucked out two 349 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.960 hundred dollars, which is what it costs when it was first unveiled at Cees 350 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.000 earlier this year. But you can go to their website and buy one. 351 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.240 As I said, they're about two hundred dollars, which comes in far below 352 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.000 other AI powered devices that we've seen crop up, namely the Humane AI pin, 353 00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.799 which got a lot of attention in recent weeks. This is a wearable 354 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.359 device that kind of does some of the same stuff, but it doesn't have 355 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.200 a screen and you have pin it to yourself. A lot of people didn't 356 00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:42.480 really like this thing. They said, the AI systems don't work, they 357 00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:47.160 go wrong, the pin over heats, and it's uncomfortable to wear. That, 358 00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:49.720 of course, is seven hundred dollars plus the cost of a phone plan. 359 00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.960 This thing coming in a lot cheaper than that, so perhaps people will 360 00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.880 have a you know, be a little bit more accepting of things if stuff 361 00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:03.359 goes wrong way, it just feels like something, not someone, something is 362 00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.240 watching you all the time. I don't like that as well, you know 363 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.440 that I think might just be part and parcel of living in twenty twenty four. 364 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.599 That's sure, that's the way it is. Okay, Mike Dubuski, 365 00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:21.440 thank you so much for pitch inch hitting hitting well whatever it is, no 366 00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:22.799 problem, happy to do it. Thanks. We'll talk to you soon. 367 00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.559 Y take care of me. Bye. The man who allegedly smashed a glass 368 00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.880 door and broke into La Mayor Bass's house has been charged with burglary and vandalism. 369 00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:36.359 DA George Gascone says twenty nine year old f from Hunter knew it was 370 00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:40.559 the Mayor's house and specifically targeted her. He's facing more than thirteen years in 371 00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:44.920 prison if convicted. Property crime in LA is down more than four percent this 372 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.880 year compared to last, but interim Police chief dominic choices, robberies and burglaries 373 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:53.160 are up. The numbers were presented at yesterday's Board of Police Commissioners meeting. 374 00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:59.559 Property crimes down four point one percent, violent crimes up seven percent. The 375 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:04.119 Court will hear arguments today that we'll determine when doctors can provide abortions during medical 376 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:08.839 emergencies in states that have passed abortion bans since Roe versus Wade was overturned. 377 00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:12.440 It's a challenge to a law in Idaho. One of the fourteen states that 378 00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:17.839 now bound most abortions. At six oh five, it's handle on the news 379 00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:19.920 that break in at Mayor Bass's house, as I mentioned, not a random 380 00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:23.079 act. Please say the mayor was targeted. At five point fifty, we're 381 00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:29.000 going to be talking with a sexual assault Prevention and Response victim's advocate for the 382 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.759 Department of Defense. It is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. Right now, 383 00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:38.240 let's say good morning to thirteen Times James Beard Award winning food journalist and 384 00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:44.400 food reporter Steve Dolinski with Pizza City Fest LA. Good morning, Steve. 385 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.119 So we hear that there's going to be a whole heck of a lot of 386 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:52.640 pizza in LA this weekend. So and I'm just hearing about this and went, 387 00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:55.960 oh my god, we got to talk to this guy. So tell 388 00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:02.319 us what pizza Pizza Cityfest LA is. Yeah, this is the second year 389 00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:06.599 we're doing the event. We had a great sellout last year. Pizza City 390 00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:10.279 Fest started in Chicago, where I'm based. I'm a food reporter there. 391 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:14.160 I've been there for thirty years, but I've really been into pizza the last 392 00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:15.960 eight years. I wrote a couple of books about it. I have a 393 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:21.200 podcast about it. Have a tour business in Chicago, and we started the 394 00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:25.400 Pizza Fest because we wanted to bring together the best, the brightest, the 395 00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:30.799 coolest, the most interesting pizza places in one region and really highlight them for 396 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.599 the public, but also teach people about pizza, about things like crust and 397 00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:41.880 crumb and undercarriage, different styles of pizza, Neapolitan versus Detroit, versus Sicilian 398 00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.839 versus Roman. And so I've been visiting LA the last several years and I 399 00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:52.000 realized since the pandemic, there has been this wave of amazing pizzas here that 400 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.039 people used to say, oh, LA doesn't have great pizza. You can't 401 00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:59.680 say that anymore. From Santa Barbara to San Diego, where I curated this 402 00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.240 from, and you know, into the Ie out to Corona, I've found 403 00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:07.279 forty of the best pizza places, I think, in the region. And 404 00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.240 so we've got twenty pizzeris each day at LA live on the event deck with 405 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:18.640 ten ovens, so they're baking these pizzas live. We've also got educational panels 406 00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.680 and demos and seminars, and then a nice component of this event is we 407 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.559 always donate back to the communities we're in, so We've given a ten thousand 408 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.279 dollars donation to see CAP, which is Careers through Culinary Arts programs, helping 409 00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:36.039 high school students get jobs in the culinary industry. So I think it's a 410 00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:37.799 win win for everybody. I love that. Okay, now, Steve, 411 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:41.680 if I heard you right, you said you hand picked these pizzas, so 412 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:47.640 you've tried them all? Yes, I have, Wow, have the best 413 00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:52.799 job ever. Well several trips to curate this, because honestly, I want 414 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.200 this to reflect my taste. I think you know, as a food reporter 415 00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.720 who's been doing this for thirty years, I just because you've been business for 416 00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:04.200 forty years doesn't give you an automatic shoe in to this event. Just because 417 00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:08.079 you're the most popular person on Facebook doesn't mean you get an invite. You 418 00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:11.400 know, we we invite all these places, we pay them to be there, 419 00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:15.440 and so it is a very highly curated event. I love that. 420 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:19.039 Now you're from Chicago, and I love my I love me a good deep 421 00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.119 dish. So is there Do you have a favorite kind of pizza yourself? 422 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:30.759 I like a really thin, artisan style pizza, kind of an East Coast 423 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.759 thin that has kind of a pronounced heel around the edge a very dark, 424 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:40.000 burnished brown crust, typically fermented for two to three days to really build flavor. 425 00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:44.400 And that kind of pizza does exist. I mean you'll find it. 426 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:49.079 I think there's a great East Coast pie in mar Vista in a church parking 427 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:55.440 lot on Fridays. Only love that called Petra Malay and he does two styles 428 00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:57.160 of pizza there, a Sicilian and a thin that I like that in a 429 00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:03.200 lot. Okay, So people go to Pizza City fest La. They're gonna 430 00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.400 there's twenty a day and you just go around and just grab slices wherever you 431 00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.319 go. Are they sample sizes so you can try more exactly? Yeah, 432 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:18.319 nobody can eat twenty slices of pizza Humber. You are, well, it's 433 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.519 tricky. It's none of these are gluten free, just by the way. 434 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:23.759 Yeah, so they're gonna they're gonna be cut a little bit smaller. Yeah, 435 00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.680 sample sizes. You're gonna walk around, you'll just you'll see the menu. 436 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:33.039 Each place has one menu item. So the way I've curated it, 437 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.920 since we have twenty, we'll have ten bee for pork, ten without and 438 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.279 one of those withouts will be a plain cheese slice. Because I feel like 439 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.079 you gotta have one cheese slice at every event because you cannot hide behind anything 440 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:49.400 there. It's just the cheese and the crust. So that's you'll have whatever 441 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:53.200 you want, as much as you want. It's unlimited. It's unlimited drinks 442 00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:56.279 too. Most food events you go to you pay a lot of extra and 443 00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.079 drinks. We just have one price includes every thing, all the drinks, 444 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:05.519 all the food, unlimited, plus some side dishes like rown In from the 445 00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:08.880 Millrose district is doing a great teeser salad, a place called Shins Pizzas doing 446 00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:13.160 a n arancini, and then we're gonna have desserts as well. Places like 447 00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:17.279 Kinrose Creamery in Pasadena and Laid Cookies in Culver City will have sweets. So 448 00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:23.519 everything's included. I love it. And tickets are still available, Yeah, 449 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:29.000 definitely. We've got general mission Saturday and Sunday that's from one pm to five 450 00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:34.359 pm. But then there's a slightly more expensive VIP ticket that gives you the 451 00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.400 entire run of this place from noon to one. So there's only about three 452 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:42.160 hundred people that will be there from noon to one to have the place themselves, 453 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.440 but it is one to five as general mission tickets are one twenty five 454 00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:51.839 and then the VIP is two hundred, but again one twenty five includes everything. 455 00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:53.279 You will not need to spend anything else unless you want to buy a 456 00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:58.559 merch you know, a t shirt from your favorite pizzeria. I love that. 457 00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:01.039 And it's happening this weekend at and where can people go to get tickets? 458 00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:08.480 Steve, yep, Pizzacityfest dot com.

He had no business having a 469 00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:51.640 firearm in his possession with his criminal history. Duran was pulled over in San 470 00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:55.440 Diego County for suspected drunk driving.

The Department of Transportation is rolling out new 474 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:13.599 rules for airlines. ABC's Jim Ryan says they'll have to compensate passengers whose trips 475 00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:16.679 are disrupted by delays or lost luggage. The GOOT is setting an industry wide 476 00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:22.440 standard for what constitutes a significant flight delay at three hours for domestic flight, 477 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:27.519 six hours for international travel. Before now, the airlines themselves created the guideline. 478 00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:30.519 Under the new rules, passengers whose flights are delayed, we'll get an 479 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:35.679 automatic HAGO free cash refund. The same goes for lost or delayed baggage. 480 00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.039 The Senate has passed a ninety five billion dollar bill that includes a mandate to 481 00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:45.519 force TikTok's China based parent company to sell the social media platform or be banned 482 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:50.159 in the US. San Francisco State Senator Scott Wiener is once again trying to 483 00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:52.960 pass a bill to allow the regulated use of psychedelics. The new version is 484 00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:59.079 in direct response to Governor Gavin Newsoen's veto of a similar proposal last year. 485 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:02.639 He is one of Money Magazine's fifty Best places to live in the US. 486 00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:07.880 Money says it picked towns that have thriving economies, affordability, diversity, and 487 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:12.639 an exceptional quality of life. We're just minutes from a handle on the news 488 00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:16.239 this morning that plan to shoot and kill mule deer or taking over Catalina Island 489 00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:21.039 has been shot down by the La County Board of Supervisors.

So Jordan, real quick, we 494 00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:43.519 started talking about this because my friend Debbie was in town over the weekend and 495 00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:47.360 you and I started chatting and you were telling us about a meeting that you 496 00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:57.239 recently had with Myra gian who is the sister of Private Vanessa Gean at Fort 497 00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:00.599 Hood in Texas. You'll remember a couple of years ago she went missing, 498 00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:02.360 they couldn't find her, and then she turned up dead. It turns out 499 00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:07.679 she had been sexually assaulted and sexually harassed, and so it just kind of 500 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:12.239 got us talking about what it is you do. And so, first of 501 00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:15.599 all, real quick, tell us what you do for the Department of Defense. 502 00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:21.440 So I am a victim advocate for sexual assault on sexual harassment victims, 503 00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:25.400 and so I am there to help provide resources, whether that be mental health 504 00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:30.079 resources.

It's just an opportunity for them to kind of get some 506 00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:39.599 healing and process through what's happened to them. And we're finding out more and 507 00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:46.840 more that you know, this sexual abuse and harassment happens across all sectors of 508 00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:51.039 society. This is not a bash on the military. I mean, you're 509 00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:53.440 in the military and you're fighting for victims and you love being or you were 510 00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:58.159 in the military you just recently got out. I think it shows that there 511 00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:01.400 are bad apples kind of in every bit business and industry. So we know 512 00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:06.440 that sexual assault is everywhere, How is the military different when it comes to 513 00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:12.679 investigating and punishing these crimes? So I will say the investigation important portion is 514 00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:16.039 kind of out of my out of my lane. Really, My my role 515 00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:21.719 is really just the victim care. You know. I would love to believe 516 00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:24.119 that we are, you know, a step ahead of how we deal with 517 00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:28.519 our victims. But the actual investigation process is kind of out of my lane. 518 00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:31.920 But what I deal with is the aftercare. So we we walk them 519 00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:37.400 through. If there's an understricted report and it gets you know, God forbid, 520 00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:38.800 it gets all the way to a court martial, we walk into that 521 00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:46.039 process. So and you're and you're there. You're there to help them navigate 522 00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:51.280 things and heal after they yeah, being a victim, yes, okay, 523 00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:53.960 And and I've been through several investigations, so we kind of get to help 524 00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:59.079 them navigate through what that, what that looks like? Okay, So as 525 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:05.719 they then go to the criminal process or the investigative process, you're not doing 526 00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:07.800 that, but you're kind of holding their hand as they go through it. 527 00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:13.280 No. No, there's a team of wonderful people in the Air Force on 528 00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:15.920 my end that are in charge of that and take care of all that part. 529 00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:21.000 My part is to kind of walk them through the investigation. I can 530 00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:24.119 go into court with them, I can essentially I am their advocate for in 531 00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:28.000 their voice that they need to be if they don't have a voice, or 532 00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.360 if they need someone to help speak up on their behalf. See, this 533 00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:32.079 is why it's important that we're talking to you, because I think there's you 534 00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:36.679 know, like obviously I don't know anything about it. I think that we 535 00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:40.280 don't know exactly what happens, how people can heal, and that there are 536 00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:45.559 resources out there. And you work with victims every day, and as we 537 00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:47.400 were talking, you can get calls at any hour of the day because you 538 00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:51.920 know, this is not on a nine to five. What is your message 539 00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:58.559 to somebody who may be getting sexually harassed or is a victim of sexual violence. 540 00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:02.360 I would just urge them to try and find a way to reach out 541 00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:07.480 how they can. So if they're affiliated with the military, they can obviously 542 00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:09.679 reach out to us. If they're not affilated with the military, find someone 543 00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:14.679 that can reach out to. There are crisis centers all over the US. 544 00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:19.320 There's several actually in your guys' local area. There's a family crisis center that 545 00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:23.400 they can reach out to that I found in that area. If they are 546 00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:28.159 victims of those crimes, they can reach out to. It's called dood Self 547 00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:31.920 Safe Helpline as well, and that is an anonymous place. It's a wonderful 548 00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:36.519 tool because not only is there a website that's really easy to use, but 549 00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:39.159 they're also on call. Just like I'm on call twenty four seven, they 550 00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:43.559 also have members who are on call twenty four seven, so they can reach 551 00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.920 out anonymously or not anonymously. They can text, they can go to the 552 00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:51.079 website. They actually have an application you can download as well, which is 553 00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:55.039 really handy, and you can actually text somebody twenty four seven a day if 554 00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:59.440 they need help. Right, And as you and I were talking, we 555 00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:07.480 were talking about Vanessa gian and you mentioned that there was a Netflix documentary about 556 00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:10.760 her. I went and watched it. It's pretty powerful. It's amazing. 557 00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:14.599 Yeah, and you got to an amazing family. Yeah, you got to 558 00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:17.440 meet her sister, and that was pretty inspirational for you. I did. 559 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:22.280 Yeah, she's she's a wonderful human being. She what her family has gone 560 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:28.079 through and what they have done to I guess heal through the process of losing 561 00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:32.199 their sister. They really did. They created a whole new way of how 562 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:39.679 the DoD investigates these crimes because now sexual harassment is punishable under the u CMJ, 563 00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:44.760 which is huge for us because it wasn't before. The result was always 564 00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:47.760 it is the uniform qude of Military justice. So it is essentially how all 565 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:52.679 military members and the d D, how we are, what we are held 566 00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:58.159 to, the standard we're held to in the legal words. So sexualssault was 567 00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:00.719 always covered from the u CMJ, but sexual harrassment was not. So this 568 00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:07.920 was a huge step I think in and making it safer for victims to come 569 00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:12.000 forward and being safe is what it's all about, and then also bringing awareness 570 00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:16.719 to it. So I'm wearing my Teal Tuesday shirt even though it's not Tuesday, 571 00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:21.280 it's Wednesday. But there's one more Teal Tuesday this month. And what's 572 00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:27.320 Teal Tuesday? It is just so Teal is the color of our ribbon for 573 00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:31.800 special sault survivors, and so we celebrate April is Sexual Salt Awareness Month, 574 00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:37.800 and so every April we do a bunch of fundraisers to help prevent and spread 575 00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:42.079 awareness of these terrible things. But Teal is our color. So every teal 576 00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:45.719 every Tuesday, we were a teal to help Rims on our cause and what 577 00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:50.159 we're doing. And I think bringing this more out into the light is so 578 00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.039 so important. Jordan Bailey, thank you so much for taking time to talk 579 00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:55.840 to us today. I am so happy to be here. Thank you for 580 00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:59.719 having me.

But 582 00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:04.639 it's so fun to see her because I've known her since she was like this 583 00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:07.639 tall, and now she's all grown up and helping people and I love that. 584 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:09.840 Thanks Jordan.
