Hey, it's Jennifer Jones Lee. You're listening to kf I AM six forty
wake Up Call on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You are halfway to the
weekend already. Here's Jennifer Jones Lee with your Wednesday morning wake up call.
It's a windshield wiper kind of morning again. Everything was fine. That's a
little misty and then eagle rock. That's my sound effect for rain, just
in case you are wondering. It's also probably my sound effect for a lot
of other things because I can't do it. Why can guys do sound effects
or make car noises? Or you guys can make like monster noises or even
like gun noises where girls are like Tyler, I'm looking at you, I'm
asking you this question. I feel like your gun is going to be a
lot more powerful than mine. Are we about to have a sound off right
now? I'm pretty sure. Give me a gun sound guy first, be
way better. I can't compete with that. Hers was more like Star Wars
and mine was more like shotguns. So I think we actually have to determine
which kind of sound effect we're doing to make it a fair game. What's
your sound for rain? Oh? That's wind, all right, You're no
wind is more like so you just gotta channel it. You just gotta know.
This might be the stupidest start to wake up call. I'm digging this
ever in seven years. Hi, everybody, I'm glad you're here to witness
it. I'm Jennifer Jones Lee. That's the wind bag Tyler. Hey,
everybody, Kno is here also this morning, training on this show for the
shout out. Can I have a I'm gonna take issue with you in a
little bit. Do you know why? Tyler? You're taking a shoe with
me? Yeah? I know what? Okay something No, I'm not even
gonna give him my heads up why. But also his mother listens to the
show, and I want to tell her, High, your son seems awesome
except for one thing. I'll tell you what that is in a few minutes.
Maybe there's a reason behind it. Some of the stories we're watching in
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom this morning, the La County Sheriff's Department says
two men have been arrested in connection with a string of armed robberies in Lancaster.
Negotiators on Capitol Hill are meeting again to try and hammer out a deal
to raise the country's debt ceiling. Eighty nine thousand jeep grand cherokeys are being
recalled because of a problem with the steering column. Also, remember Boris Johnson,
the man with the see his hair in the UK, Well, the
former British Prime minister. Remember he was in trouble, they called it party
Gate when he's telling everybody, you know, lockdown during COVID and then he's
whooping it up with his buddies. Well, now he's in trouble again for
again breaking his own government's pandemic lockdown rules. I feel like it's problematic when
you put rules into place and then you break your own rules, like it's
a practice what you preach kind of issue there. So we'll get into that
in just a few minutes, but let's start with some of these stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Mystery may have been solved.
The La County Sheriff's Department says two men have been arrested in connection with a
string of armed robberies in Lancaster. Two store clerks at two separate locations were
shot during a couple of the robberies this month. La County Sheriff's Detective Benjamin
case Bolt says the men cased out locations they may have thought were easy targets.
One was a gas station and the other one was a liquor store,
so they're generally targeted. They've been hit a gas station's, liquor stores at
smoke shops. Police said yesterday they're still searching for others who may have been
involved in over twenty robberies this past month. Chris Adler KFIE News. California
Attorney General Rob Bonta has announced a settlement with Walmart over allegations the company sold
illegal weapons like brass knuckles to people across the state. Walmart will have to
pay five hundred grand and won't be allowed to sell brass knuckles on its website.
Sixty percent were sold directly by the retail giant by Walmart itself, and
the rest of the other forty percent were sold by third parties through their e
commerce site. Banta said yesterday more than two hundred fifty brass knuckles were illegally
sold to people in California through that website. Then we're said County DA's office.
As an investigation into the weapon started in twenty eighteen, Negotiators on Capitol
Hill are meeting again to try and somehow hammer out a deal to raise the
country's debt ceiling. ABC's Terry Moran says lawmaker and the White House of week
left to avoid defaults instead of signs that a negotiation is reaching some kind of
conclusion. In these critical final days, officials here are blasting speaker. They
asked Kevin McCarthy, accusing him of basically talking out of both sides of his
mouth. Republicans want to cut federal spending. President Biden and Democrats want to
raise the debt limit without conditions. Now the White House House offered to free
spending instead of cutting it. The Treasury Department says government risks running out of
cash to pay its bills as soon as June first. An extortion continues to
climb in LA. In twenty fifteen, the LAPD said there were two hundred
and six reports of extortion. Last year, it was four hundred and fifty
six, the highest on record. Officials say extortion of all kinds is happening,
including financial bribes, protection money, and sexually explicit content. Police say
the number is probably higher because some people are afraid or ashamed to report the
crime, and more than seventy percent of those swindled our men. So far
this year there are two hundred and six reports, the most from receipt of
followed by University Park, Hollywood, Korea Town in Downtown La Steve Gregory k
if I News. You know, typically if you get in trouble for something
and it causes you maybe to resign, you might not do that thing again,
right, Well, that doesn't seem to be the case when it comes
to former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. And as Dala Kuta, welcome back.
So why is he in trouble again? Hey, good morning yet So
former British prem Minister Boris Johnson has once again been referred to police for possibly
breaking his own lockdown rule during the COVID and eighteen pandemic. So you'll remember
he actually had to resign, like you just mentioned, over a similar allegations.
So what came to be known as party Date, and that was evidence
that had come to light showing Johnson hosted parties while the rest of the country
was on lockdown. In this case, it was the Times newspaper that first
reported the new developments. They're saying there are diaries that exist that were cast
by staff who have been working with the former Prime Minister, and that those
diaries show that some of Johnson's friends had made visits during the pandemic to both
his country home and his Downing Street residence. It's interesting here that the information
apparently was discovered while Johnson was preparing his testimony as part of the upcoming inquiry
into all of their There's a public inquiry being conducted into the country's handling of
the pandemic, and the Cabinet Office is confirming that has now passed all of
this information to the police. They're saying in line with obligations in the Civil
Service Code. And we did hear from both London Metropolitan Police and the Tames
Valley Police, which is the force that covers the area near the Prime Minister's
country residence. So both are saying both the London Metropolitan Police and the Tags
Valley Police say they are assessing the information. Okay, I'm curious going back
to the diaries that his staff kept. Were they keeping it as a like
this was their job they were supposed to say who was coming and going from
the place, or were they writing this down as sort of evidence to be
used against him later. So this is all according to the Times newspapers.
So my understanding that these are diaries that were kept saying like you know,
who's coming, who's going, okay, and so with the official documents showing
who who was in the residents, both at down the streets and the country
residence. Okay, So it doesn't look like anybody was trying to do a
gotcha on him. It doesn't appear that way. Again at the Times,
you know, we haven't seen the diaries, and this is all according to
the Times of London. So we'll have to see where you know, I'm
sure when they conduct this public inquiry or we'll get more information when it comes
to these diaries specifically. But my understanding as of now is that these are
diaries showing that the comings and goings of people at the residence. Yeah okay.
So has Boris Johnson said anything about this? We have heard from him
his office or from his office rather, so his office is calling the allegations
yet another politically motivated stitched up um. But again, this is the second
time he's been referred to police. He's already been fined for hosting these types
of gatherings during lockdown, and we also heard from his office that Shahnson maintains
that the events were lawful and that there were they were not breaches of any
COVID regulations. So um, you know, we'll see what he has to
say. We are going to be probably hearing from him directly. He's expected
to be testify at some point during this public inquiry into the country's handling of
the COVID nineteen pandemics. We'll see how he responds to all of this at
that time. But as now, yeah, his his art, you know,
the way he's responding is to say that the events were lawful, um,
and that this is all politically motivated. All right. I look forward
to hearing more from him when he does speak on this and as things.
As always, I'll talk to you again soon. Thank you, see you
later, ABC's and as de la Kuta. I don't you know, I
have no skin in the game when it comes to Boris Johnson. I don't
really whatever one way or the other other than come on, you and I
both have weighed in on his hair in our minds. It reminds me.
His hair reminds me of Betty White. My puppy, Bah. It's kind
of all over the place, right. But the thing that I find so
funny about any politician, I don't care if you're right, left, center,
to the moon, whatever you are. Everything they do they think is
law. Everything is lawful. I did not know that was unlawful. I
did not know I was under a microscope. Really, are you new to
politics? Really? You weren't trying to get away with anything? Really?
Okay? President Biden is set to deliver a speech on gun violence in the
US to mark the anniverse three of the school shooting in Uvaldi, Texas.
That's where nineteen kids and two teachers were killed. The shooting happened a year
ago. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre says the entire community of Uvaldi
is still mourning. They are in the President's prayers. A criminal investigation over
the police response to the shooting at rob Elementary is ongoing. We're gonna take
you two Texas this morning, with ABC's Jim Ryan coming up at five fifty.
The LAPD's new robot dog comes with a set of oversight rules. The
police department will have to report quarterly to the La City Council. On the
use of the robot dog. The city council will have the power to suspend
the robot if the department uses it outside the agreed terms. People, including
this man, showed up to yesterday city council meeting to call on council members
to reject the donated robot. If the police department wants a pet, they
can get a hamster. The robot was given to the LAPD by the La
Police Foundation. It costs more than two hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars in
La Blake trolley k if I News, that guy just cussed while talking about
getting a here. That's a first. Officials have arrested that guy that was
wanted in connection with the kidnapping of a woman while she was trying to board
a bus in East La. We started talking about this about eight thirty yesterday
morning. The La County Sheriff's Department said yesterday the woman was boarding a transit
bus on East third Street when she was confronted by the guy. Video shows
the man pointing a handgun at the driver Monday before forcing the woman into a
nearby car. The LASD says the man was arrested hours after the reported kidnapping
for driving under the influence. Now, what I don't see in this is
probably exactly what you're thinking, was the woman kidnapped him? Where's the woman?
Okay, we are going to dig deeper into that story. And the
La Archdiocese has criticized the Dodgers for backtracking and renewing their invitation to Pride Night
to a group of activists who dress and drag as nuns. So the archdiocese
says honoring the group makes light of the sincere and holy locations of women in
the church. The Dodgers had uninvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence because of pressure
from conservative Catholic groups, but then they apologize to the sisters and reinvited them
because of complaints from the LGBTQ plus and civil rights groups. A state board
has declared two La County juvenile halls unsuitable to house young people. It's ordered
the county to relocate the detainees out of the facility within sixty days. Multiple
inspection failures led to the decision. The board says there was no alternative other
than to make the declaration. National Weather Service says Typhoon Mawir has hit Guam
as a Category four storm. ABC's Andrea Fujie says that means high winds,
heavy rains, and dangerous storm surge. Ahead of the storm, the governor
issuing a mandatory evacuation of low lying areas, telling residents to seek shelter.
President Biden approving an emergency declaration as the military moved planes and ships away from
the island, and the Coastguards occured boats. Officials say they prepared for considerable
damage, and a woman trapped in a manhole in oc has been rescued.
The fire Department's battalion Chief Chad Gremmel says firefighters were in the area for a
different call yesterday when they found out the woman was stuck in the sewer.
They used a pulley system to get her out. Kf i's Rich Demero you
can hear him on Saturdays here on KFI from eleven to two Talk in tech.
Rich, good morning to you. Let's talk a little peloton before I'm
gonna be honest there, I'm going to venture to say at least a couple
of us will be honest about the fact that we might share our Netflix passwords,
just saying, but I think everybody on the show shares it with somebody,
and so we're gonna want to talk Netflix news, but let's start with
Peloton and why Peloton? What is now out there for everybody? Yeah,
and they're putting a good spin on this, but I think this could be
the beginning of the end. Wondered that. I wondered that it's like the
Jump the Shark moment. Oh. Absolutely, this is a huge Basically,
they are positioning it as we are giving people workouts for free, but what
they're really doing is charging their actual users double now, and so this is
a big, big change. Basically, users who are paying twelve ninety nine
a month to use the app. We are not talking about the bike here.
These are app users who use like a third party treadmill or a third
party bike. These are people like myself, my wife, a lot of
other people who use the app to do their workouts and used to pay twelve
ninety nine a month. Now it's going to be twenty four dollars a month
of that same service. And of course they've added some other tiers to make
it seem like there are alternatives, But if you're already using it in this
way, there's not you're banning charge double. So it's a big change.
It's a really really big change for this company. It goes into effect on
Tuesday, December fifth. The good news is if you want to work out
for free, they do offer some new free classes and a free tier.
But there's a lot of options for that out there. Okay, So should
I say thank you to you then? Since you're the one paying for it
and I'm the one who might just tap into it to try and get it
for free? Are we talking Netflix? So that's I think from pellets on
two Netflix there's I don't know, yah, don't I'm sharing. I was
gonna say, I think my dad is sharing his Netflix passwords. To be
perfectly honest, everybody is sharing their Netflix passwords, and now Netflix is going
to crack down on us. How in the world are they going to catch
us? I guess that is what I want to know. Netflix is a
napster of video sharing. I mean, everyone shares with a friend because there
was no there's no repercussions. It doesn't matter. It never mattered in the
past. You paid your bill, you feel like, well, if I'm
paying this and someone else can log in, it doesn't really you know,
it doesn't hurt me as long as I can still watch my content. The
only time I had a problem is when I tried to log in and my
sister across the country was also watching something that said, sorry, you're logged
in too many places. Said hold on, I'm paying for that. I
should be logged. I get priority anyway. So now the new password crackdown
is happening, you're going to get an email from Netflix if you haven't already.
I got mine yesterday that says, hey, just a reminder. If
anyone's watching your account outside of your house, they can start to pay eight
bucks a month, or you can pay eight bucks a month for them if
you don't transfer them to their own account. That's the deal. Now,
if you're on the cheapest accounts, like under fifteen dollars a month, you
don't have that option. So they now here's the thing, Jennifer. They
haven't said what they're gonna do if they're going to force people to pay,
if they're going to cut off their access, Like, we just don't know
what the repercussions are just yet. But I think Netflix is tiptoeing into this
world. Okay, And how do they know? So are they looking at
what like IP addresses or how do they do it? Is that it okay?
Well, okay, So I got an email last night when maybe I
didn't realize I was sharing. Maybe someone has my account. I might need
to change my password. Oh no, but it said here's someone that just
logged into your account from this device in this place, and I was like,
oh no, but this was the best part. It said, we
have now solidified where your household is anyone outside this and this household was not
my household, So that's going to be interesting. I logged in this morning
to see what it would do if it would like kick me off on my
side. It didn't. But this is really tricky because Netflix is kind of
they know that there's one hundred million people out there sharing passwords, so they
know one hundred million times eight bucks a month, there's a lot of money
for them. Sure, absolutely, they don't want to alienate their you know,
they don't want people just to cancel and say never mind, I'll go
somewhere else. Well. The other thing that I kind of look at is
if you're a parent. So what if you're a parent and I don't know,
maybe your kid is what I don't know, eighteen nineteen and they've moved
out, Yeah, exactly, So they're in college, they've moved out of
the house. Whatever. The family is still paying for it technically, so
isn't it for that family? I mean that person is still part of your
household. I mean, if you want to split hairs about it, I
guess, well, look, I think they're going to be you know,
I think they're going to be applying some sort of intelligence to this, some
sort of out rhythm that is not just cut and dry, right. I
think it's going to be a little bit of you know, there's gonna be
some room for movement here. I don't know what that room is. I
don't think Netflix is going to tell people that, But there is some sort
of magic sauce here, because if you go to a hotel in a different
city for a week, they're gonna let you watch your stuff there. Now,
it may be that if it notices you're using way too much on these
different accounts, or they're always streaming at the same time, that could be
a part of the algorithm. So, you know, Jen, there's a
lot they could do here. We'll see, all right. And finally,
the Apple keynote is happening. When is it happening and what do you think
it's going to come out this time around? Oh, this is June fifth,
so it's now that was announced before, but they just sent out invitations
to journalists like myself. Biggest it's always so exciting to get an invitation right
right anything as an adult, So that doesn't come through E fight June fifth,
WWDC. The big, big rumor here is that they are going to
unveil their new VR AAR headset, which is expected to cost thousands of dollars
jennifery. But also this is when we get to see the new software updates
for the iPhone, for the Mac computers, for the iPads, for the
watch. But the big, the big play here is this new headset.
No idea if this is going to be something we get to try, or
if it's even going to be announced, But they have invited a lot of
journalists from the VR community, which gives you okay, all right, well
I can't wait to hear once you go, you know, we'll try and
have you back on right away obviously, So let's see, June fifth would
be a Monday, so you'd be on with handle Tuesday. Right, Oh,
there will be plenty to talk about the whole week, Jennifer, I
this is like, this is huge. This is Apple's first new product since
the Apple Watch. So this is like, you know, you're talking eight
nine years now. I love it. And Riches there he got invited.
I didn't get an invite. If you need a field producer, you just
call me. I'm your girl. Perfect. All, okay, what's going
on eleven to two on Saturday, Rich on Tech? Here on KFI.
Any ideas what's going on this week? You know what we're going to talk
about that whole idea of teens and social media, how the Surgeon General came
out and said, you know what, we think this is kind of bad.
So I've got a great guest to talk about that, and of course
we'll break down the Netflix stuff, any you know, anything that's happening during
the week. I kind of keep a little note and I said, all
right, we got to talk about that for a little bit longer. I
get three hours, Jen, Believe me, I'm always at the end.
I'm like, wait, three hours is done. Oh That's how that's how
I feel with wake up call one hour? Are you freaking kidding me.
There's a stack. Like literally, here's my stack of papers that I never
get to. Right, that's me. I have a stack every week right
here. Oh yeah, there's I hear yours too. It's like it's you're
my what do you call it? My brother from another mother? That's you.
Fee you later, rich, have a great day. Fee you later.
And by the way, Amy Kings says, so much for love thy
neighbor. I want to squeeze this in. An annual survey of homeowners and
renters in the US has found nearly a quarter of Americans dislike at least one
of their neighbors. Forty eight percent say it's because they're unfriendly or rude,
thirty one percent say they make too much noise in twenty nine percent say the
neighbors too nosy. The lending tree services. Millennials and gen Zers think it's
more important than neighbors religious and or political beliefs match their own than Gen xers
and baby boomers. Twenty five percent have gotten into a physical or verbal fight
within neighbor, and twenty four percent of either called police or sued. The
survey says about one in five people dislike the neighbors so much they move Amy
King KFI News. Just for all my neighbors who actually are no listen in
the mornings. I love you all, Cupcake, Stephanie, Phil Noreene,
Norma, C Squirk, C Square, Chuck Shelley, I love my Little
Street, Jose and Jose Jr. Love you all. Jimmy Carter's grandson says
the former president is in good spirits three months after entering hospice care. A
man who led police on a chase through several cities in oc has been arrested.
Police and Garden Groves say the chase started in their city last night when
the guy was approached for suspected dui and took off. And such a sad
story out of Utah. A two year old boy was shot in the head
by a stray bullet. He's okay, but he apparently was playing outside at
the daycare center when a bullet was fired from a pellet gun or maybe an
air gun in a field across the street from the daycare and hit the little
boy. Oh, let's say good morning now to CNBC's Jane Wells. Hi
Jane, I've missed you, big hug. I missed you too. Oh,
I'm so glad little boys. Okay, jeez, what our kids just
playing at his daycare and then that happens. But yeah, I'm glad he's
in stable condition. I don't see anything that looks grave or anything for him.
But crazy stories. Sometimes we are crazy people. We are. Oh,
let's talk about consumer spending, which is down. Is this going to
help us when it comes to inflation? It is because if people don't spend
as much, then prices start to come down. And Axios has this story
out that says that even though the retails spending data out last week suggested that
we're barely slowing down, another group started looking at services, not just goods,
because the government looks at things you're physically buy. And when it comes
to services, are spending on things like airfare is down thirty four percent from
year ago, spending on hotels is down thirty one percent. And as the
earnings have been coming out from different companies this week, even when it comes
to goods, you are seeing people are spending less. Lows had a good
earnings report, but that's because they cut expenses, you know. Disporting goods
had a good earnings report, but that's because they had a huge reduction and
taxes due to a tax benefit. So the good news about this is that
should maybe have a soft landing for us instead of a hard recession. If
we're actually cutting back and then prices down with an employ it comes down,
all right. Well, anything that's not a you know, a hard I
guess landing is good. Will take it. I want to ask you when
it comes to consumer spending. There was a story that came out this morning
about Target, and it's something that I noticed at Target that so Target was
trying to be I think anyway, it looked like what it was trying to
do was be more inclusive. And it's got this whole big section as you
walk into a lot of the stores in the clothing department, that's a whole
pride section. But Target says now it's removing certain items from its stores and
making other changes to its LGBTQ merchandise ahead a Pride month. I guess there
was backlash from customers because it had something that they're calling a tuck friendly line
of swimsuits, which I guess would be for like for trans women, right,
I guess. But the thing that I've looked at this when I walked
in and I thought, on one hand, that's great. You know,
I'm all about inclusivity. I think that's awesome. But there was also a
part of me that felt like, this feels slightly like pandering. I don't
know why. In particular. Well, you know, it all started with
bud Light, and then you had the Dodgers, and now it's Target.
People are companies or entities are trying to figure out how to approach Pride Month
without alienating certain customers. And in Targets case, I don't know if they've
done this before and just now it's getting noticed. But Target says it's moving
some of that merchandise from the front of the store to the back of the
store, especially in certain Southern outlets, because if they claim the out of
concern for the safety of their employees. Now, I don't know if any
threats to Target other than I don't know, maybe some people are angry,
like what is that doing there? I don't need my kid to see this,
But that is their strategy. And I don't know if it's going to
be another pr disaster like it was for the Dodgers or for bud Light.
But yeah, if these tuch swim suits in particular where women who are transitioning
but are still keeping their original you know parts can tuck them so they look
a little bit smoother down there. But there are also some kids books that
have apparently been in the stores. So Target's goal, I don't know,
is to thread this needle, which seems to be impossible right now. As
for whether it effects its share price, it was down over three percent yesterday,
which is not good, and it's down a little bit pre market today.
I have no idea how idy that has to do with this you know
and the other thing that I hadn't seen the part about them moving this you
know section to the back of the store. But then I also feel like,
okay, first of all, if they're trying to protect their employees,
the employees are in the store, so wherever that those items are, I
would feel like it doesn't really matter. But the other thing is, then
might the LGBTQ plus community be upset that those items have been moved to the
back of the store, as though like, oh, we don't want anybody
to see them or something like that. I just I agree with you that
they are not threading this needle at all. I don't have the solution,
but this one just feels way off. Yeah, I think a lot of
Again going back to blood Light, a lot of companies thought, hey,
if everybody what, we're here for everybody. We're here for everybody. But
then also a lot of their customers like, you don't seem to be here
for me, and I like Eugen, I don't know what the solution is.
But between a bud Light and the Dodgers and now Target, it's been
a rough month for exclusive marketing. How is the House of Mouse politically or
polarizing? I guess you could say politically, Well, it's interesting because there
is an Axios Again, does this thing with the I don't know if it's
a field pole every year on the most liked brands, and then they divide
it by Republicans versus Democrats to find out the most polarizing brands, and Walt
Disney is now the fifth most polarizing brand in America according to this survey,
behind number one the Trump Organization, two Fox, three Hobby Lobby, and
four FTX, the disgraced crypto currency firms that Disney's number five behind that,
and the reason it is because of this war it's gotten into with the governor
of Florida and whether who's who's ever side you take. Republicans have a far
more negative view of Disney than they did a year ago. A few of
the Democrats do as well, but not nearly as much as Republicans. And
it's it's interesting because they say, you know, there are polarizing brands like
Chick fil A because it's very promote Christian values, doesn't promote same sex marriage,
that sort of thing. But they have a track work if they haven't
changed. That's how Chick fil A's always been. But Disney didn't have a
track record for speaking out on issue. He's like this, and so that's
why they jumped up so high in the most polarizing poll I found. I
found that very interesting. Other jumbliss behind Disney are Fiser, Facebook, TikTok,
Twitter, and at number ten Chick fil A. To have Disney in
that group I find very interested me too. And finally, just because again
I'm doing a lot of asking for a friend this morning, so on sharing
my Netflix password, I was just asking for a friend and somebody who might
return a lot of stuff. I'm asking again asking for a friend. How
retailers might clamp down on her. My friend, Well, yeah, tell
your friend whose initials are jj L that returns can returns can our big profit
drain. I mean, if you yet free return to free to you,
but they're not free the company, but they can cost as much as twenty
seven dollars for one hundred dollars return. And so as as people may be
stopping, they're spending a little bit to boost profits. Some retailers are saying,
no, you can't return, or it's going to cost you more to
return, or some are saying like, if you agree not to return,
we'll give you a discount. And some companies I think we've talked about before.
At Amazon, they'll just say, oh, just keep it, not
worth it. But Amazon is starting to charge like a dollar if you go
to a UPS store as opposed to a Whole Foods which they own, or
at Coals and some company. This is the story. So let me ask
you this. This is in the Wall Street turn Sixty nine percent of shoppers
say they would stop shopping at retailers who charge for returns. At forty nine
percent said they would pay more for free returns there more upfront. Would you
stop shopping at it? Say it was a Zappos versus a Target versus a
you know what coals online? Would you stop shopping at one of them if
the returns weren't free? No? Absolutely not. I keep there you go,
then there you go. There's your answer right there. So they know
they can get away with it, and we've got so used to it.
But maybe they'll start to charge us a little bit return. I mean my

week. I let your friend know I love her. Okay, sounds good,
Thank you. I will oh email her right now. Bye, Jane.
Now A great day by attorneys for a nineteen year old killer who escaped
custody twice a vouled emotion to recuse the Orange County DA's office from prosecuting him.
They cite news releases and public comments saying the man is extremely dangerous and
violent. Excuser was indicted last year for possession of a deadly weapon by a
prisoner. He was previously convicted of stabbing his mom to death in twenty seventeen.
When he was thirteen years old. He is also convicted of attacking three
correctional officers in twenty twenty one, that's while he was in custody. And
don't forget, Netflix has started to put an end to password sharing in the
US. The company is sending out these lovely emails to subscribers saying each Netflix
account is supposed to be used by only one household. Jim Ryan, good
morning to you, live from Texas where it has been one year since that
teenager carried out that shooting at rob Elementary School in Uvaldi, Texas. I
still can't believe, Jim, it's been a year. It feels still honestly,
it feels fresh still. Well, yes, I mean that day started
out normally. I was in Dallas and we got word of this mass shooting.
The number it's just got worse and worse. Two dead, three dead,
four eventually went up to fifteen sixteen, and and I was headed down
to Yuvaldi to pretty long drive from Dallas four or work down to San Antonio
and then out to Yuvaldi. But yeah, it's it's been a year,
a year of recovery in that community, of a year of controversy regarding the
response, the police response to that shooting, and the investigation. After investigation,
those are still going on, some of them are, at least,
and we still don't know what the final upshot of that is going to be.
There could be criminal charges, least according to the head of their tax's
Department of Public Safety. He believes that the malfeasance or the incompetence that might
have been displayed that day could have been actually criminal negligence and there could be
charges. He says, I think that there are a lot of people across
the country, probably around the world who would agree with him, just based
on the granted, those of us who are judging it are playing Monday morning
quarterback. We have no idea how they were trained or what they actually went
through. We don't know any of the details. But if you just look
at what is on the surface and the headlines and things like that, in
the timeline honestly that went down that day, you can't help but be judgmental
and think that the police could have done more to help save those kids.
Well, yeah, I think you're right, and you and I not in
law enforcement, do look at it that way. But yeah, some within
law enforcement as well. Yeah, absolutely are shaping their response plans and their
SWAT training based on what happened that day, and I toward not doing what
happened at Yuvaldi. So yeah, I think you're right. The Monday morning
quarterbacking is going on all of the place, and probably rightfully. So.
You know, one thing that I did find that was a little bit interesting
today, maybe you know the answer to this. Uvaldi is not holding a
big public memorial today. And I thought that was part of me thought that
was strange, and then the other part of me again thought, wait,
don't judge it. I don't know what's been going on in Uvaldi all along.
Maybe they don't want to draw any more attention than already as on that
city. Yeah, that's probably part of it. There will be a vigil,
a public vigial hell tonight at five, but it's primarily for the people
there in Yuvaldi, for family members and victims and the relatives and friends of
those who died. That the mayor has asked that people not come in from
the outside, that they please stay where they are, stay in their own
in their own homes or their own towns, and remember the events commemorate the
shooting in their own way privately there, so that this can be a private
commemoration for the families and the friends. But you're right. I mean,
I think about the Oklahoma City bombing in the year after that, there was
a huge yeah event there in the clause of the president showed up that day.
Yeah. So each community I think deals with and this is a fairly
small I mean, a year ago, had you heard of your Valley,
Texas? No? No, not a clip had to look it up and
even see like where it was, Yeah, exactly hometown of Matthew McConaughey.
He was born there, but beyond that, nobody had ever heard of it.
And honestly, I was like, hey, look at that. Who
knew that he was born there? That kind of thing. But the one
one other thing that I think is kind of has um. I don't know
how to even say, how to put this where it doesn't sound awful,
But the motive, I guess we're still kind of trying to figure out the
shooter's motives. There's a huge part of me that my give a you know,
flying fig factor is out the window anymore because I don't even want to
think about the shooter. I don't care why they did what they did.
And I hope that the focus is just on those kids and those two teachers
that died that day, and that no more anything, spotlight, any anything
is given to that shooter. Well true, you know, and I think
that buying large people are doing that. They are remembering the victims and the
kid, you know, the nineteen kids, two teachers who died there.
But you know, there are corners also that are saying, look, what
was in this kid's mind? I bet you don't even remember his name,
do you, Jen No, And I'm glad, honestly, I'm glad I
don't I And I think too that the motive at the time, and I
agree that we need to know just maybe that information would then help us to
prevent others, you know, from doing something like that. But at the
same time, I don't care, you know what, you went and killed
little kids. I don't care what your reason was. That's just wrong,
but it's and you're right, there is no logical explanation for or motivation for
doing that at all, but picking into the mind of this person to see
what went wrong, what what was what was going through your head at this
moment? Why would you do something like this and then try to catch others
who are in the same situation, other kids eighteen years old, you'd gone
to rob elementary school and to ferret out other instances of people who have a
similar profile. At least, you know, the metal State profile could help
to prevent this in the future. But you're right, I mean, the
focus has to stay on the victims and while that's the same time trying to
keep this from happening again. Absolutely, you guys are airing a one hour
special on ABC yes tonight, Yes, and yeah, Michelle Franzen is hosting
that. And it's taken a lot of work, taken a year worth of
examination. ABC News has had a presence there in your valley for the whole
time. We opened up an office in your valley. Wow, producers reporters
have been cycling through um and you know, and has really become a part
of the community there. Good for you guys, Thank you, Jim,
I appreciate it. Er all right, see you later. ABC's Jim Ryan
Tyler said the same thing. He you know, popped in my er and
was like, Wow, I can't believe it's been a year. It just
it doesn't it just feels fresh. And maybe that's because of the reason that
you can't wrap your head around killing nineteen fourth graders and two teachers. Or
maybe it's the fact that we still don't understand the police procedures that were put
into place that day. I mean, from you know, again from my
layman, just looking at it from the outside, What the hell? Why
didn't you guys rush in there? How could you wait? But I I
try not to judge. I try, although in my head, what the
hell is probably a whole lot more animated, shall we say? There's a
dad in northern California killed by a car while trying to cross an intersection.
But wait, there's more. He was trying to help some ducklings cross an
intersection. Copsy a teenager was driving last week when he hit Casey Rivera as
he was trying to save the little baby ducks. Diane Myerson, who lives
in Rockland that's outside Sacramento just a little bit, says she's heartbroken for the
man's family. Terrible and I can't imagine. I can't imagine their loss.
Sad, She says. Rivera was doing something nice and ended up dying for
it. Police say the driver stayed at the scene of the crash and was
not arrested. All right, So Kono was in training with Tyler this morning.
