WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:08.679 You're listening to wake Up Call on demand from KFI AM six forty KFI and 2 00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:15.640 KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time for your morning wake 3 00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:28.120 up call. Here's Amy King. Good morning. This is your wake up 4 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:33.320 call for Wednesday, October eighteenth. It's five o'clock, straight up. I'm 5 00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.640 Amy King. Thanks for waking up with us this morning. So much going 6 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:40.840 on, you know, it's feeling a lot more like summer than two weeks 7 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:45.679 before Halloween. We even have heat advisories in effect for the ie Later today 8 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.920 and tomorrow, temperatures are going to be up near one hundred again. You 9 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.960 know, it makes shopping hard. I went to them all over the weekend 10 00:00:54.679 --> 00:01:00.520 just to do a little Lookie lou stuff and they have all the fun wetters 11 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.120 and coats and all that stuff out and it made me sweat literally looking at 12 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.640 them, so I forget trying them on. But we have cooler weather on 13 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:14.319 the way. Not to worry. Lots going on today. Here's what's a 14 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.840 head on wake up call. Prime Minister Netanyahu says Israel is doing everything it 15 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.920 can to keep civilians safe and says it will continue to encourage people to leave 16 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.640 Gaza city. His comments came following a meeting with President Biden, who is 17 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:33.519 now in Israel. Biden says the US will continue to have Israel's back. 18 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.519 We're going to be talking with ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem at five point fifty. 19 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.239 She's got lots of details for US on that bombing at the hospital that 20 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:47.959 Israel says was not done by Israel. Israel's saying they're doing everything they can 21 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.040 to avoid citizens and it was not their bomb that caused that devastation. A 22 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.840 second vote for Speaker the House is expected this morning. Jim Jordan failed to 23 00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.439 get the two seventeen needed to be elected in a first vote on the House 24 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.079 floor yesterday. He came up seventeen votes short, but says he's not dropping 25 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:09.400 out of the race. Dodgers President of baseball Operations Andrew Friedman says the loss 26 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:15.080 to Arizona in the playoffs was an organizational failure, but he says there will 27 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.800 not be staffing changes. Dave Roberts will return for his ninth years the Dodgers 28 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.919 manager in the spring. At six oh five, it's handled on the news. 29 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.639 President Biden will no longer be meeting with Palestinian and Egyptian leaders because of 30 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.520 that explosion at the hospital. Bill's going to be talking about that. Let's 31 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.199 start with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 32 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.719 As I just mentioned, President Biden has met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, 33 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:46.240 who in Israel. President Joe, I want to thank you for coming 34 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.400 here today, Biden told Netanyah, who he is saddened by the explosion at 35 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.800 the hospital in Gaza yesterday that reportedly killed hundreds of people, but he did 36 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.680 not blame Israel. Based on what I've seen, it appears as though it 37 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.039 was done by the other team. The Israeli militaries blamed a misfired rocket from 38 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.719 the Palestinian Islamic she Had group Hamas blames Israel. Wheresident Biden was supposed to 39 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:12.000 also meet with Arab leaders in Jordan during the trip, but that meeting has 40 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.280 been canceled because of the explosion at the hospital. The Israeli military says it 41 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.319 was not firing in the area where the hospital explosion happened. There was no 42 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.400 idea fire by land, sea or air that hit the hospital, where Admiral 43 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:30.560 Daniel Hagari says Israeli radar confirmed a rocket barrage fired by the Palestinian militant group 44 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.120 Islamic. She had from a nearby cemetery at the time of the explosion. 45 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:42.879 Analysis of our aerial footage confirms that there was no direct hit to the hospital 46 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:49.800 itself. The only location damage is outside the hospital in the parking lot. 47 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.159 He said if it had been an Israeli missile, there would be damage to 48 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:59.000 the building and a crater in the ground. He also accused Hamas of inflating 49 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:04.039 the number of casualties. Islami Shihad has dismissed Israel's claims, accusing Israel of 50 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:10.719 trying hard to evade responsibility. Four people have been killed in a multi car 51 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.680 crash in Malibu. It happened around eight thirty last night on pch near Canyon 52 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.720 Carbon Canyon Road. Two other people were taken to the hospital, and La 53 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:23.560 County Fire captain said speed may have been a factor in the crash. A 54 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:30.879 new law in California limits how much landlords can charge for security deposits. Landlords 55 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.279 could previously require up to three months rent plus the first month's rent, but 56 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:41.120 under the new law, security deposits can't be any larger than one month's rent. 57 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.879 It takes effect on July first of next year. Let's say good morning 58 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.360 now to ABC's Stephen portnoy Steven. We didn't get a chance to talk about 59 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.000 Jim Jordan yesterday, so we get to catch up today. But he's not 60 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.759 speaker yet. He's not speaker yet, and it feels like the latest installment 61 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.600 of a soap opera or a real on the show. Look, so he 62 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:08.000 had twenty Republican defectors yesterday, and the question this morning is whether that list 63 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.839 will shrink or grow. The next vote is set for about three hours from 64 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.000 now, so right in the middle of a handle on the news, So 65 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.040 keep tuned and we'll see what happens. I mean. Look, the fact 66 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:23.519 is that as of yesterday, Jim Jordan was sixteen votes short of the speakership, 67 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.959 and the one you wonder whether over night he was able to somehow turn 68 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.920 sixteen votes around. There's no indication this morning that he has. The only 69 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.040 question is how much longer will he be up for the role. And he 70 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.720 said yesterday to us that he intends to keep voting until a speaker is elected. 71 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.879 Well, we'll see about that and we'll see how longer much longer his 72 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.879 colleagues give him some runway. He said that there ought not to be a 73 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:53.439 deal with Democrats, and the suggestion there is that perhaps some Republicans are interested 74 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.160 in a deal with the Democrats. The top House Democratic King Jeffreys came to 75 00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.480 cameras yesterday afternoon and said that Republicans have proven that they can't govern the House 76 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.079 by themselves and that the only way forward to dig the House out of the 77 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.519 morass is some sort of bipartisan agreement. Well, what does that mean? 78 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:15.199 What might that entail? Jeffries wasn't elaborating, but one suggestion has been to 79 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:21.199 temporarily give the caretaker who's holding the gabble speaker pro temporary Patrick McHenry, more 80 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:26.639 authority to at least for a period of time, allow the House to take 81 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.279 up business, pass bills, appropriations, measures that might avoid a government shutdown 82 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.199 in a month. The aid package it's coming from the White House to fund 83 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:38.959 the effort in Israel as well as the effort in Ukraine. Perhaps more money 84 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:43.399 for border security as well as support for Taiwan. But if they did that. 85 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.959 When I was watching Hakeem Jeffries over the weekend and he was talking about 86 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.639 something similar because on the face, on the surface, that sounds like a 87 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:54.480 great idea, right well, but I mean look, I mean it's not 88 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:59.319 a great idea. To Jim Jeffries and his fellow hardline Republicans. The idea 89 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.480 is that this is their moment and this is their opportunity to assert their power. 90 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:08.959 The problem is they've been unable to do it, and the hard line 91 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:15.560 objectors here the ones who are refusing to support Jim Jordan include Colorado Congressman Ken 92 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.399 Buck, who told us yesterday that the reason he wouldn't support support Jim Jordan 93 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:23.600 is because Jim Jordan refuses to acknowledge that Joe Biden was the duly elected president. 94 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.879 There's no turning that around. I mean, he's pretty much drawn a 95 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.199 line in the sand. There are Republicans from places like Long Island, New 96 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:36.399 York who yesterday cast votes in protest against Jordan for Lee Zelden, a former 97 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.319 member of Congress from New York. They say that they're objecting because Jim Jordan 98 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.639 refuses to give an inch on the idea that the state and local tax deduction 99 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.240 should be reinstated that was taken out of the law when Paul Ryan and Donald 100 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:56.079 Trump worked together to initiate tax reforms, and people who hail from places like 101 00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:01.600 southern California and in the New York area who pay high property taxes are missing 102 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.319 the opportunity to deduct the money that they pay in local taxes from their income. 103 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.800 And those hardline Republicans want that back. And they said that because Jim 104 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.759 Jordan wouldn't promise it. Well, he's not going to earn their support either. 105 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:20.519 So the question is how much more how many more Republicans today in the 106 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.480 vote in about three hours will side with Jordan or how many more we'll side 107 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.839 against him. We don't know at this point. Nobody does. I would 108 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.920 love to be a fly on the wall as he goes behind closed doors and 109 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:35.080 tries to convince these people that they should vote for him. I just think 110 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.440 it would be fascinating. Well, the strategy, it's interesting because the strategy 111 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.200 has been to try to apply public pressure, you know, because Jim Jordan 112 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.919 is the magic candidate, he is the one who enjoys the support of former 113 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.440 President Trump. Well, so far it's been ineffective. And I think because 114 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.240 in part the country in the world is focused on what's going on in the 115 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.600 Middle East that whatever political traction he was hoping to get among the conservative base 116 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.320 has been diluted by the other, perhaps much more important news. Okay, 117 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.159 well we've got another vote this morning. We'll keep you posted as more develops. 118 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.960 Thank you again for your time and insight. Have a wonderful day, 119 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.320 Stephen Portnoy. You bet. Let's get back to some of the stories coming 120 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.080 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Four alleged smash and grab robbers 121 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:24.240 have been arrested in la The LAPD Organized Retail Crime Task Force announced yesterday detectives 122 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.440 served search warrants at two homes, which led them to two others. Officials 123 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.600 say they discovered one stolen weapon, thousands of dollars in cash, smash and 124 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:39.600 grab tools, and several stolen items. LAPD Assistant Chief Alfred Librada has spoken 125 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.320 out about allegations he was stalking his ex girlfriend. Lebroda's ex girlfriend filed a 126 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:50.320 police report last month alleging Lebrata was tracking her location by placing Apple air tags 127 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.759 in her car. Lebroda says he was never being investigated for actual stalking, 128 00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:00.279 but was placed on administrative leave last month following the allegation. Before any investigation 129 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.120 was completed. Chief more recklessly took significant actions inconsistent with my due process. 130 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.879 Lebrada says he was in a serious relationship with a woman for more than six 131 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.559 years, and despite reports, she was never under his chain of command. 132 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:20.080 His attorney says litigation is possible. Chris Adler KFI News new legislation prompted by 133 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.440 a corrupt Angel Stadium sale deal would protect the value of public land and its 134 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:30.720 affordable housing requirements. State Senator Tom Umberg says one new law allows the state 135 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.559 to reject any sale of public land that is below market value. I do 136 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:39.240 think this is good policy statewide, but in the bill's journey through the legislature, 137 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.399 it was paired way back by their legislators to apply only to Orange County. 138 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.559 Umberg says. The second law, signed by the governor last week, 139 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:52.480 would require public hearings if a public land sale tries to skirt affordable housing requirements. 140 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.320 The failed attempt to sell Angel Stadium caused a former mayor to plead guilty 141 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.120 last month to corruption charges. A former teacher in Long Beach has been sentenced 142 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.759 to eighty years to life in prison for sex related charges involving two former students. 143 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.919 The judge yesterday said prosecutors had offered the man a plea deal that carried 144 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.679 a twenty four year sentence. She initially thought might be too high, but 145 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.960 she realized during the trial it just wasn't enough. The judge called the man 146 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.799 a predator and disputed his insistence that he was a beloved teacher who had been 147 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.440 wrongly accused. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has warned that it's solely matter 148 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.600 of time before asylum seekers are going to be sleeping on the streets. He 149 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.960 said the city is averaging four thousand new immigrants a week and says it's a 150 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.399 constant battle to find new shelter space for them. Adams has once again called 151 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.399 for federal money to help with the migrant crisis. He just added a new 152 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.879 policy that limits the time migrant families can spend in shelters to sixty days. 153 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:56.080 He also says the city is complying with vacate orders of three migrant shelters because 154 00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:01.639 of safety concerns. On a lighter note, the satene let me start over. 155 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.960 On a lighter note, the Staten Island Railway in New York is getting 156 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.120 some new train cars for the first time since nineteen seventy three. The five 157 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.600 cars will have larger doors, displays with service updates, more accessible seating, 158 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.039 and security cameras. They should be in service by the end of next year 159 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.200 nineteen seventy three. So like, what is that fifty years now that they 160 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.039 haven't had new railcars. Hey, this could leave a little bit of a 161 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.840 bad taste in your mouth. So Reesis has this contest and Reese's Peanut butter 162 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:39.919 Cups are my favorite. It's on the two cup package of Reese's Peanut butter 163 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.480 cups. There is a promotion. It says you could win twenty five thousand 164 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.679 dollars and then in smaller print, it says see details inside. The problem 165 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.200 is to see the details that there's no purchase necessary in order to enter the 166 00:12:54.279 --> 00:13:01.039 contest. You have to buy the peanut butter cups so you can open the 167 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.919 package and see it. So apparently Reese's maybe in trouble. There's watchdog groups 168 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.919 checking this out, and the guy behind the watchdog group, Edward Dwarski, 169 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.799 who's a consumer advocate, says you never have to pay to play. All 170 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:22.000 these packages should be recalled. So I'm thinking if Reesi's has to recall those 171 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:28.440 peanut buttercups. They could donate them to me, just an idea. President 172 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.799 Biden's in Israel. He's met with Prime Minister Netan Yahoo. He was also 173 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.200 supposed to go to Jordan to meet with Egyptian and Palestinian leaders, but that 174 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.240 meeting was canceled after a hospital in the Gaza Strip was bombed killing hundreds of 175 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:45.919 people. Israel says they didn't do it, but Palestinian misfired rockets hit the 176 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:52.200 hospital instead. A man's been charged with felony vehicular manslaughter after he allegedly intentionally 177 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.600 drove his car into a group of pedestrians in Long Beach. A prosecutor says 178 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:00.200 the guy's an uber driver and had a passenger with him when he plowed into 179 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.960 the group's Saturday night. The man has pleaded not guilty. A Chick fil 180 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.320 A has agreed to a settlement in a class action lawsuit that will mean some 181 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.919 customers are going to get a share of millions of dollars in cash and gift 182 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.080 cards. The lawsuit claimed the company offered free or low cost delivery fees, 183 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:22.519 but then increase the prices of the food items for those orders currently to cover 184 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.039 the cost at six five. It's handled on the news. The explosion at 185 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:31.240 the hospital in Gaza Strip that I just told you about has sparked protests all 186 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.960 over the place. Right now, let's say good morning too, KTLA tech 187 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.000 reporter and host of Rich on Tech. Right here on KFI, it's Rich 188 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:45.080 Demiro. Rich good morning, tell us about Apple's new pencil. Yeah, 189 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.279 so a lot of people are expecting a new set of iPads yesterday, but 190 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.159 instead Apple came out with a new Apple pencil. This is a downer. 191 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.240 Uh yeah, I mean, look, it's cheaper. It's seventy nine dollars. 192 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.039 It's USB C, so that means it works with all the kind of 193 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.759 the popular charging that we have nowadays. And you know, the basic thing 194 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.720 that it does not do is pressure sensitivity. So if you're using this Apple 195 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.600 pencil for sketching or artwork, it's probably not the best for you. There's 196 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.759 also some other little quirks, like you can attach it magnetically to the iPad, 197 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.200 but unlike the other Apple pencils, it will not charge if it's on 198 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.720 the magnetic side, so you have to actually plug it in. So now 199 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.320 there's three Apple pencils to choose from. You've got the existing one for ninety 200 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.600 nine dollars, you've got this new cheaper one for seventy nine, and you've 201 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.879 got the high end, top of the line model for one twenty nine. 202 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.559 My advice, these pencils are very complicated. I know it's funny to say 203 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.639 that, but if you're buying an Apple pencil, it's probably best to go 204 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.519 to the Apple store to see which one is right for your iPad and do 205 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.559 you have a preference. Do you use it? I rarely use an Apple 206 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.519 pencil, maybe to highlight stuff, highlight text, but that's about it. 207 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.120 So my kids use them. They like them. But I will tell you 208 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.679 you over Christmas when all the cousins got them, it was very confusing because 209 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.600 they did not get the right models for their iPad and there was crying, 210 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:10.519 and there was you know, it was a it was a big issue. 211 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.639 So just be sure the one that you're getting works with your iPad. The 212 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:18.960 Joys of Technology, kids crying. I got a bad pad. Sol at 213 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.320 any sharpen it it sounds, you know, the thing that you mentioned about 214 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.320 that doesn't have the pressure sensitivity. I thought that that was one of the 215 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.279 really cool things about it when they showed pictures about how you could draw and 216 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.039 create stuff. But otherwise you're just drawing stick figures because you don't you can't 217 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.120 do shit. Yeah, anything, right, And this has gotten so complicated 218 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.759 that Apple actually has a a matrix on their website that explains the first generation, 219 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.159 the second generation, and the USBC and all the different features. And 220 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.159 there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seventy nine 221 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.600 about ten or eleven features on this that are explained. I mean, it's 222 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:55.000 pretty wild to think that a pencil would be as complicated. But you know, 223 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:57.919 Apple has a lot of products to their credit, they support their products 224 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:02.000 for a very long time, and so some of their products are older, 225 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.519 they don't have the latest features built in that support you know that these pencils 226 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.799 want to support. So there's a lot of choices out there. Okay, 227 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:14.000 so here's another switch over to Google for a second. They have a new 228 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:18.039 accessibility feature. I think I would like this one. Yeah, they've got 229 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.319 a couple new accessibility features. The first I think is really interesting. I 230 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.720 wish they did this for all phones. But they have this new Magnifier app 231 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.480 and so if you have a pixel phone, you can download this magnifier app. 232 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.480 It's really really interesting. They did it in association with the National Federation 233 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.720 of the Blind, and so you can kind of take a picture of something 234 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.599 in live time and zoom in really close it will it will enhance the image. 235 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.920 So that's really useful. But again it's only for the pixel devices. 236 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.119 I wish they would have come out that for all devices, but they didn't. 237 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.880 The other thing, they now have wheelchair accessible information on Google mapps. 238 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.599 They were collecting this a couple of years back. They would ask me when 239 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.000 I left a business, hey, was this business wheelchair accessible? So millions 240 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.240 of people have submitted the info. Now Google feels like they have enough to 241 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:07.160 actually show that. And then they've got this other feature which will allow businesses 242 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.720 to identify as disabled owned. So if you see that little, you know, 243 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.640 icon on a business, maybe you want to frequent them more often or 244 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:19.920 give them business because you know of that disability for the owner. Okay, 245 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.559 And of course my mind immediately goes to okay. So Google has the maps 246 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:30.119 and they now know where disability friendly or eighty A compliant places are. So 247 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.000 you know those nasty people who go out and just try to find they don't 248 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.160 have disabilities, but they go and try to find the businesses that aren't ADYA 249 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.359 friendly and sue them. Amy, you've been working this business way too long. 250 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.640 I know. That's immediately where my mind wents. I know, it's 251 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.319 you're so right though. It's such a I mean, yes, there are 252 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.880 all these lawsuits that happen because people, you know, they go to a 253 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:53.599 business and they say, hey, you're not compliant. And it's not even 254 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:57.960 about defending the business. They just literally want that cash settlement of you know, 255 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.960 eight, ten, fifty thousand bucks whatever it is because they spotted this. 256 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:07.000 So I agree that is kind of a dark side to this whole thing. 257 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.720 Yeah, okay, So on a lighter side for taxpayers, this could 258 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:18.720 be a new convenience. Yeah. So the IRS is going to test what's 259 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.880 called direct file, and you know, there's probably two sides to this. 260 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.279 Some people might think this is really convenient because you're directly filing with the IRS. 261 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.680 Some people think, no, no, no, I don't want the 262 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.880 IRS to have any more control over my taxes. But California will be one 263 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.480 of the thirteen states that's involved in this pilot in twenty twenty four, where 264 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.480 basically, if you have a simple tax filing. You'll be able to use 265 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:48.799 a mobile friendly questionnaire that will just basically ask you questions about your taxes and 266 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.000 tell you I guess how much you owe and help you file. So this 267 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:57.839 is very basic. Again, W two's people on Social Security on employment interest 268 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:03.480 of less than fifteen hundred, earned income tax credit, child tax credit, 269 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.960 standard deduction, student loan, and educator expensives. Those are the only things 270 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.559 that will be supported. So if you don't fall into that category, you're 271 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.839 not gonna be able to do this. But you might be wondering, Amy, 272 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:18.960 how is the direct file different from the IRS Free file program, which 273 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.079 has been around for a long time. The big difference is that there's no 274 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.200 income limit here, but this is directly with the IRS, whereas the free 275 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:32.079 file program is through a third party like TurboTax okay. And is this for 276 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:36.559 both state and federal taxes or just your federal taxes? Good question, That 277 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:41.799 is very complicated to me. So it says California has decided to work with 278 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.680 the IRS to integrate their state taxes into the direct File pilot program, But 279 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:52.160 it sounds like you'll still have to go to a California separate site to file 280 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.920 those taxes like it's it's really Look, this is government. It is complicated. 281 00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.839 Like I'm reading this over and over and I still don't understand exactly what 282 00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:02.920 the trying to say, Like they need someone like me to just come through 283 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:04.880 and write this press release that says, hey, coming out in twenty twenty 284 00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.519 four, you'll be able to file your taxes directly with the government through a 285 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:12.240 questionnaire instead of the way that they Even the headline is like ten times longer 286 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:17.839 than any headline I've ever seen. Okay, and it's available next filing season 287 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.960 or is it the twenty twenty four filing season, which would be in twenty 288 00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:23.759 twenty five. So I think it says twenty twenty four tax seasons. So 289 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.720 this year we will be filing what twenty twenty three taxes? Uh huh, 290 00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:33.799 so it'll be for twenty twenty four taxes. So why even tell us about 291 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:36.640 it now if we can't do it for two years? Okay, because it's 292 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.759 government, it takes it's a long runway. They don't even know what they're 293 00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.319 doing with this program yet. They're like they're still figuring it out, but 294 00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:44.359 they're like, let's just put this out there and tell people are going to 295 00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.559 do it. Isn't this going to be neat in ten years? Okay, 296 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.039 Rich Demiro, thank you so much. You can check out rich Demiro on 297 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:55.359 KTLA.

President Biden says it appears the deadly explosion at a hospital 302 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.319 in Gaza was not the work of Israeli forces. He's in Israel. He's 303 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.240 met with Prime Minister Natanyahu. Hundreds are believed to have been killed in the 304 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:27.319 air strike yesterday. Israel says it was a misfired rocket from Islamic she had 305 00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:32.240 fired from inside the Gaza strip. In about fifteen minutes, we're going to 306 00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:34.920 be talking to ABC's Jordana Miller in Israel. So if you have to duck 307 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.880 away to grab breakfast or get dressed, be sure come back. We're going 308 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.359 to be talking to her again in about fifteen minutes. A second vote for 309 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.279 Speaker the House is expected this morning. Jim Jordan failed to get the two 310 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.920 to seventeen needed to be elected in a first vote on the House floor yesterday. 311 00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:53.920 He came up seventeen votes short, but says he is not dropping out 312 00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:59.599 of the race. Twenty Republicans did not vote for him. Dodgers President of 313 00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:06.079 Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman says he is still voting for Dave Roberts. Roberts is 314 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.680 going to return for his ninth year as the Dodgers manager in the spring. 315 00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:14.839 Friedman said the lost Arizona in the playoffs was an organizational failure, but there 316 00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:18.039 will be no staffing changes. At six oh five, it's handle on the 317 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.119 news. Alec Baldwin could be facing charges again tied to the shooting on the 318 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.799 set of the movie Rust. Prosecutors say they have new evidence right now. 319 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:34.079 It's time. Amie's on it, Damie's on it. Aami's on it, 320 00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:41.759 Damie's on it. So what am I on? I'm streaming on streaming movies, 321 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:47.400 TV series, documentaries, broadcast TV shows. One of the things that 322 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:51.680 I love about streaming is that you can go back and revisit things from the 323 00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:56.720 past, Like I'm watching an old series right now that came out like twelve 324 00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:59.640 years ago. I'm probably gonna be telling you about it in the next couple 325 00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:03.559 of weeks because it's really a good one. So it's not always brand new 326 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.920 stuff, and it might be things that you missed or just haven't seen for 327 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:11.160 a while. And after seeing all of the Sanderson sisters at the Ogie Boogie 328 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:15.799 Bash at Disney California Adventure over the weekend, it reminded me that I hadn't 329 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.440 seen hocus Pocus in years. Thought it would be good to revisit it. 330 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:30.079 Chart so creepy, but I love I love that song. It's the thirtieth 331 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:34.160 anniversary of hocus Pocus, and there aren't a lot of fun Halloween movies out 332 00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:37.680 there. I mean, there's, you know, Charlie Brown Halloween, but 333 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:40.359 there are a lot of scary ones. So if you don't like the super 334 00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.440 scary, like me, this is a good one for the family. Of 335 00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:48.039 course. It stars Bette Midler, Katheen, Jimmie and Sarah Jessica Parker, 336 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.640 who was singing that little spooky song. It's campy, it's fun, it's 337 00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.519 not high tech. It's really funny because there's the Banks, the cat, 338 00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.640 who's the black cat that's in the in the movie and it's a puppet. 339 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:04.799 You can tell it's like really bad and you think about how it would be 340 00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:10.640 today if they did it with all the CGI animation that they have. But 341 00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.119 like I said, it's campy, it's fun. It's a great thing if 342 00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.559 for an adult to just kind of chill out and watch for a while. 343 00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:26.640 There were some I teared up twice during the movie. Cono, you're laughing 344 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.240 at me? You tear up for because I tear up at everything. I 345 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.079 mean, I think it was when Binks almost died or something like that. 346 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:37.920 But again, it's a fun little movie. It's a nice way to spend 347 00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:41.319 an hour and a half leading up to Halloween if you like to celebrate as 348 00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.920 you lead up to it, like I do. And then there's hocus Pocus 349 00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:48.400 too, which came out I think just last year. I have to watch 350 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.319 that one still, but hocus Pocus, and it's on of course Disney. 351 00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:57.240 Plus let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 352 00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:03.440 four hour newsroom. A former doctor from Palmdale has admitted to illegally selling prescription 353 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.839 drugs across the country. Rafael Maliki and illegally sold pills, including Norco's and 354 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.720 oxy cotone pills during online telehealth sessions from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty one. 355 00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:18.920 US Attorney spokesman Kieren McAvoy says Malikian also worked with two co conspirators who provided 356 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:23.000 him with fake names, addresses, dates of birth, and then he used 357 00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:30.000 he issued these prescriptions. Accordingly, those co conspirators would then sell the drugs 358 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.000 on the black market. Leakian will be sentenced next year. Blake Trolley k 359 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.680 if I News. A security guard has been shot while sitting in his car 360 00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:41.680 in Laguna Hills, Orange County. Sheriff's deputies responded to reports of gunshots in 361 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.480 a neighborhood yesterday. The guard was taken to the hospital and into surgery. 362 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.640 Deputies arrested someone a short time later. It's not clear why the guard was 363 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.119 shot. Deputy said the guard was in a car that clearly showed the name 364 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.920 of the security company on it. President Biden is no longer going to Jordan 365 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:03.200 following his trip to Israel. Arrived in Israel today and had initially planned to 366 00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.559 meet with Arab leaders in Aman, but the White House confirmed that he's going 367 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.720 to postpone that travel. Biden said yesterday he is outraged and deeply saddened by 368 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.160 an explosion at a hospital in Gaza that killed hundreds of people. He says 369 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:22.319 the US stands unequivocally for the protection of civilians. A couple from the Bay 370 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.359 Area is looking for family members believed to have been captured by Hamas in Israel. 371 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:32.079 Berkeley resident Yayiel Needham says her sister in law texted her during the attacks 372 00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:37.240 on October seventh, she could actually see the terrorists running around the kibbuts for 373 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.759 she was staying and going house by house and she was really really scared. 374 00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:47.000 Edam says they haven't heard from her in laws since she says she knows Hamas 375 00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:51.319 is holding them hostage. The Israeli military says they've identified all the bodies in 376 00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:56.200 and around the kibbutz, and the two are not among them. Gas prices 377 00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.240 have dropped again in southern California. Prices are down sixty one cents over the 378 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:04.799 last nineteen days to five seventy a gallon. Orange County prices have also dropped 379 00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:10.359 again to five point fifty two a gallon. Gas dropped in the Inland Empire 380 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:15.599 to five fifty six Donald Trump's lawyers are filing an appeal following a federal judge's 381 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.440 decision to issue a gag order against him. The partial gag order, issued 382 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:26.839 on Monday prohibits Trump from publicly targeting witnesses, prosecutors, and court staff who 383 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.960 are involved in the criminal case, alleging he tried to reverse election results. 384 00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:37.799 Trump called the gag order unconstitutional. When we come back again, we're going 385 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:44.400 to be talking with ABC's Geordana Millers. So don't go anywhere I've ran across 386 00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:48.240 this because we know that a lot of people are leaving California. Just too 387 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.039 many taxes, too much pollution, too much crime, too much homeless. 388 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:59.119 So where do you go? So when you're making the it seems kind of 389 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.319 an easy decision that you would just go to a neighboring state, So like 390 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:10.039 Utah and in Washington, which isn't neighboring but it's right next totory. Even 391 00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:15.079 Oregon, which is neighboring, might be logical. But there was a guy 392 00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:21.240 who did a little survey of where to go. He based things on like 393 00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:26.279 state economies, demographics, health, climate, politics, and then he graded 394 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.559 the states for their costs, their wellness, their jobs, their fund, 395 00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:36.319 their culture and safety. And what he came up with as an exit card 396 00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:41.279 or an exit report card for California is that the top state to move to 397 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:48.799 would be New Hampshire. That's a long way away. I don't know it 398 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:51.960 was in the OC Register if you want to check it out. In New 399 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:59.240 Hampshire expensive probably, but maybe less expensive than California. Cost you a fortune 400 00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:02.759 to get there though. Oh and it's darned cold in the winter. I 401 00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.160 don't see where that's a logical thing. Like again, neighboring state makes sense 402 00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.680 because at least the climate's sort of the same. But President Biden's in Israel. 403 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:15.839 He's met with Prime Minister net Yahoo. He was supposed to go to 404 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:19.319 Jordan to meet with Egyptian and Palestinian leaders, but that meeting was canceled after 405 00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:25.559 a hospital in the Gaza Strip was bombed. Israel says they are not responsible 406 00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:30.039 for that bombing, but says that Palestinian misfired rocket was the one that hit 407 00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:34.640 the hospital. Alec Baldwin may once again be facing charges in connection with the 408 00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:38.000 shooting death of a cinematographer on the set of the movie Rest in New Mexico. 409 00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:42.319 Charges were dismissed five months ago, but prosecutors say there are new facts 410 00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:45.920 in the case. Chick fil A has agreed to a settlement and a class 411 00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.759 action lawsuit that could mean you're going to get a share of millions of dollars 412 00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:53.920 in cash or gift cards. The lawsuit claimed the company offered free or low 413 00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:57.839 cost delivery fees, but then increased the prices of the food items on those 414 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:03.559 orders. We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning, Jim 415 00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:07.240 Jordan didn't get it done. Yesterday, twenty Republicans voted for someone other than 416 00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.880 him. Bill's going to be talking about the next vote for Speaker of the 417 00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.079 House. That's just a couple hours away. Right now, let's say good 418 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:19.200 morning to ABC's Jordana Miller. She is in Jerusalem, Jordana, as a 419 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:25.200 ground invasion looms, The President is in Israel, and an air strike has 420 00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:29.400 hit a hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds. Lots going on on the ground 421 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:36.519 there. Absolutely, First, it's important to say that the evidence is growing 422 00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:44.559 here in Israel, not from official channel, but backing Israel's official physition on 423 00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:51.519 what happened outside the Baptist hospital in the Gaza Strip. There's at least one 424 00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:56.839 civilian who filmed a barrage of rocket fire from Gaza, with seconds later showing 425 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:02.480 an explosion nearby. Israel really very prominent news channel here, Channel twelve, 426 00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:10.720 whose own cameras stationed nearby, also caught that barrage and the close by explosion, 427 00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:16.440 and this has been central to Israel's argument about what happened. They say 428 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:22.599 they even heard Palestinian Islamic jihad militants talking about the launch of a barrage of 429 00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:30.039 rockets from a cemetery close to the hospital, and one of those rockets did 430 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:36.160 not make it out, misfired, fell short and hit a parking lot near 431 00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:38.920 the hospital. The actual hospital itself was not hit, but there were many 432 00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:45.079 people gathered, even taking shelter in the parking lot and nearby, and the 433 00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:51.039 Palestinian authority says now over four hundred people killed there. But the Israeli Army 434 00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:53.559 has said it was not their missile, they weren't operating in the area, 435 00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:58.480 and that their missiles also are so much more powerful that there would have been 436 00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:05.599 evidence of damage which was not there, and that there and that there are 437 00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:10.799 missiles again create craters, no crater traces there, so you know it appears 438 00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:19.000 that this was propaganda, misinformation or a way to evade any kind of responsibility 439 00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.720 by Hamas, the militant group, the terrorist group and their allies has Bulah, 440 00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:29.400 who spread the news like wildfire in the minutes after the attack. The 441 00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:34.599 international you know, news organizations also you know are you know, have a 442 00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.079 role to play in what happened last night. Some of them, like the 443 00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:43.359 DBC, even the New York Times initially misreporting, not waiting to hear the 444 00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:47.799 facts, and that you know, only fueled more anger across the region. 445 00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:52.640 The Palestinians, you know, in the West Bank coming out to protest. 446 00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:57.039 We saw protests in front of the us UH, the Israeli embassy in Amman, 447 00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:01.480 Jordan, and then even the President b itinerary taking a hit because then 448 00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:07.000 even before we knew exactly what happened, that Palestinians canceled, the Jordanians canceled, 449 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:12.159 and the Egyptians canceled. And now President Biden has been here all day, 450 00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:16.000 but you will not end up seeing some of America's important Arab regional allies 451 00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:21.320 here and they were meant to discuss things that will only help the gods and 452 00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:23.800 people like how are we going to get aid in to the Godza strip. 453 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:28.440 How are we going to you know, mark off areas where the Israelis won't 454 00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:32.239 bomb. Those conversations will still happen, likely on the phone. But you 455 00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:37.760 know, in the end, an important part of the President's diplomatic visit here 456 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:45.280 also a casualty of Hamas's you know, propaganda campaign and they're misinformation campaign. 457 00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:51.480 And is there any indication that those the meetings might be back on or you 458 00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.119 know, that they might say, okay, yes, let's do them, 459 00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:58.880 or is it they're just off the table. Now they're off the table. 460 00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:05.519 The face to face meeting are off the table. So the President, it's 461 00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:10.079 clear that he'll I'm sure he will conduct phone conversations with counterparts, you know, 462 00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:15.320 all those in all those places. The Sector of State, Anthony Blincoln's 463 00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:20.000 already spoken to the Palestinian president and sent his condolences over what happened. But 464 00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:24.199 we can see the US position is lining up with Israel, and you know, 465 00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:30.199 on the side of facts. Really the President saying right after he arrives 466 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:34.559 here that from the evidence he's seen he has seen, it appears that quote 467 00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:39.159 unquote the other team a reference to Kamas and its militants was responsible for that 468 00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:45.400 last. And by the way, I've been here fifteen years covering lots of 469 00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:51.679 different rounds of violence between Israel and Hamas, and in every round there are 470 00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:57.800 always dozens of rockets that fall short and hit inside Palestinian territory. This is 471 00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:02.840 not some weird theory is all coming up with. It is a persistent fact 472 00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.239 of the conflict that tons of you know, tons of rockets never make it. 473 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:14.599 This time around over six thousand were shot, and Israel believes hundreds fell 474 00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:19.400 short already just in this conflict. Is is it because they're just not high 475 00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:24.599 tech weapons and so they just missing because they're right, because they're right. 476 00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:30.639 They're homemade rockets, they're you know, they're not precision guided missiles. The 477 00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:37.559 rocket launchers themselves are you know, makeshift. You know, these are low 478 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:43.239 tech, uh, you know weapons. Even though they can kill people, 479 00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:49.599 they are not you know, sophisticated weapons. And at times, you know, 480 00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.440 in the barrage of ten or twenty rockets, there will be some that 481 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:54.760 just will fall short. They don't make it all the way. Yeah, 482 00:36:54.760 --> 00:37:00.039 And I've heard some of the spokespeople talking about from Israel saying we do not 483 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:06.119 target hospitals, and then it sounds like they're like, we don't want to 484 00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:10.800 because I think they understand they have an uphill battle to get people not on 485 00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:15.800 their side necessarily, but not to protest and not to lash out at them 486 00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:17.760 for targeting civilians. They're like, that's not how we do business. We 487 00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:23.159 never have, so why would we do that now, right? I mean, 488 00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:28.400 what we see from what happened last night is that you know, the 489 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:37.239 Palestinian Street and some of these militant groups, they have effectively over years demonized 490 00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:43.360 the Israeli defense forces, the army, the Israeli army as you know. 491 00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:46.519 I mean, you can go on and see the propaganda. They kill children. 492 00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:51.119 They don't, this is what they say they do. They you know, 493 00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:57.079 they kill innocent women. Right, So there's a certain amount of base 494 00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:04.880 bias. You know that the Arab world sees about the Israly army, and 495 00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:08.320 so it's a short it's a short step from that to the is Eraly army 496 00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:12.880 bomb to hotel at bombed to hospital, right, you know, or it 497 00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:15.679 could be a bomb a hotel or a wedding hall. I mean, it's 498 00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:22.039 it's nothing, you know, it doesn't stretch the imagination because the Palestinians cause 499 00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:27.880 the extreme elements of it have been able to demonize the army. Israel has 500 00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:34.280 always said that it doesn't target it doesn't target hospitals or hotels that it you 501 00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:38.239 know that it plays by the rules of international law even when it comes to 502 00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:44.320 war. Tensions definitely escalating, and it'll be interesting to see if they calm 503 00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:49.760 down anymore as more evidence comes out and as you mentioned, if they see 504 00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:52.360 the evidence, if they believe it, because the tensions are running so over 505 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:57.199 right.
