It's beautiful, but it's already dried out. Here's what we're 17 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:33.640 following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Israel hasn't commented on it officially, 18 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.439 but the US Israel has started pumping seawater into the network of tunnels in 19 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.560 the Gaza strip used by Hamas. Family members of the hostages have said that 20 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.359 they fear their loved ones might be in the tunnels and could be killed if 21 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:51.200 they're flooded. We're going to be talking to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem more 22 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.439 about this than just a minute. A man accused of spray painting Nazi symbols 23 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.599 on a synagogue and other public and private property in Glendale and Burbank has been 24 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.079 charged with vandalism and ten counts of hate crimes. The thirty two year old 25 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.840 man was charged yesterday, faces up to twenty years in prison if convicted. 26 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:13.840 Taylor Swift turns thirty four today and to celebrate with her fans, her airs 27 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.199 to her movie that's made more than one hundred and fifty million dollars at the 28 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:23.240 box office, is available for streaming on Prime Video at six oho five. 29 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.240 It's handle on the news the world has a new climate deal, but does 30 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.759 it hold water. We'll take a closer look. Let's get started with some 31 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.599 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news from at least 32 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:38.000 five people have been hurt in a crash between an Amtrak train and a semi 33 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.319 truck Inventura County. They were taken to the hospital last night with minor to 34 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:46.360 moderate injuries. The collision on State Route ONE'T eighteen at Sand Canyon Road caused 35 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:52.879 a temporary suspension of the train service. A man has been fatally stabbed on 36 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:57.039 a Metro train in South la. The man was on the E line yesterday 37 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.719 afternoon when he was stabbed several times. Say he was able to drive himself 38 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:06.000 home after the attack. Someone at the home called for help. The man 39 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.639 then died at the hospital. LAPD Chief Moore says he's disappointed at the city 40 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.800 controller's mischaracterization of the department's Air Support division. Moore says the cost of the 41 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.879 department's seventeen helicopters is not an isolated expense, but a strategic investment. Be 42 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:28.280 crystal clear well sees Plaice Department helicopter patrols provide invaluable protection to police officers and 43 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.840 residents alike. City Controller Kenneth Mahea released a report Monday claiming sixty one percent 44 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.919 of the department's helicopter fleet is used for non emergencies, with an annual average 45 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.960 cost of forty seven million, and the airships fly mostly over communities of color. 46 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:45.319 Moore says he's reviewing the report with his Air Support Command staff Steve Gregor. 47 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.039 Ka Fineos, Tesla is recalling more than two million of its cars to 48 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.599 fix a defective system that's supposed to make sure drivers are paying attention while using 49 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.560 autopilot. The recall covers nearly all of the vehicles Teslas sold in the US 50 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:04.120 since it activated autopilot in late twenty fifteen. It follows a two year investigation 51 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:10.520 by US auto safety regulators into a series of crashes that happened while the autopilot 52 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:15.720 system was in use. Emmy winning actor Andre Brower has died. He was 53 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.360 best known for his roles on the series Homicide, Life on the Street and 54 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.240 Brooklyn Nine to nine. Hey, Captain, something's going on with this heist. 55 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.399 You tell us everything you know, and we'll tell you everything we know. 56 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.800 Jokes on you, We don't know anything. Well, good dab Brower's 57 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:36.639 publicist confirmed he died Monday following a brief illness, but didn't give any details. 58 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.160 Brower's survived by his wife and three sons. He was sixty one and 59 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.720 I loved him in Frequency with Dennis Quaid. You remember that movie. He 60 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.120 was so good in that. It's five oh six on your wake up call. 61 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:54.240 Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, 62 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:59.000 the UN has passed a resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian cease fire. But 63 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:05.439 does Israel have any obligation to abide by that They don't. Israel does not 64 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:12.000 because that is a non binding a resolution passed by you in General Assembly, 65 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:19.079 and so it really doesn't have any legal restraints that Israel has to has to 66 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:27.959 abide by. It is a symbolic resolution. It does show that some world 67 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:33.439 leaders are increasingly worried about the number of civilian casualties in the Gods of Strip 68 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:40.600 and the humanitarian situation there, which is dire. Yesterday, because Israel open 69 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.800 to second crossing, over two hundred trucks of eight got into the Gods of 70 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.480 Strip. But this is really just a drop in the bucket. The rains, 71 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:53.680 rainy season has started, and there are people you know, wet and 72 00:05:54.279 --> 00:06:00.680 living in tents, and you know, the UN is continually warning about the 73 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:08.000 fear of disease spreading and hunger. So you know, there's it's easy to 74 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:14.120 understand why so many in the world would call for humanitarians use fire. Israel 75 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.639 and the United States don't agree with that position because it would leave Hamas in 76 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:24.519 a very good position to essentially just wait it out and you know, rebuild, 77 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:30.360 rearm and renew their attacks against Israel, and Israel's unwilling to allow that 78 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:35.600 to happen. The war is raging right now all across the Gaza Strip, 79 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.720 the largest battles in the south in hanunis a Hamas stronghold, but even in 80 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:47.040 the north, in one neighborhood near Gaza City, nine Israeli soldiers were killed 81 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.800 in an ambush late yesterday, which goes to show you that, you know, 82 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:56.399 Hamas is still a fight even in large areas that are large are by 83 00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.639 and large controlled by the Israeli army. So there's still you know, as 84 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:05.480 the Events Minister says almost on a nightly basis, it's a difficult war and 85 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:13.079 there's still difficult days ahead, weeks, if not months, okay, And 86 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.720 the Health ministry is saying that about eighteen thousand Palestinians have been killed. Do 87 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:24.120 we know if those numbers are accurate? They are numbers that are given by 88 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:30.680 the Hamas run health Ministry. We won't really know if they're accurate until after 89 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.879 the war. But it's a huge number, and even if it's off by 90 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:42.879 a few thousand, it's still an enormous number. And the percentage of civilians, 91 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:48.040 women, children are estimated to be about sixty percent of those numbers, 92 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:55.639 so somewhere around eight thousand, and that's an incredibly high number, record breaking 93 00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:00.399 really for a war that has only been you know, we're in now the 94 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.639 what are we in the eleventh week? So but this is part of you 95 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.879 know, this is part of war. Every war has collateral damage, but 96 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:22.240 it's also it is exacerbated by Hamas's strategy of embedding itself around civilians, and 97 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:28.800 that just cannot be overlooked the impact of that. It immeasurably creates so much 98 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:35.080 more danger for Gaza's ordinary Gazas. Yeah, and you mentioned that a second 99 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.200 crossing had opened. I know, we didn't talk to you yesterday, but 100 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.559 we heard from you because we had some news stories from you. But where 101 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.120 is that crossing and the two hundred that got in yesterday, is that supposed 102 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.279 to happen or expected to happen kind of every day or was that a one 103 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:58.200 time influx? Right? So, the Caramchalam crossing is situated in southern Gaza, 104 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.519 where southern Gaza and is all meat, and it opened yesterday. We 105 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:09.080 just got the numbers from the Israeli authority that runs that crossing. Almost two 106 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.799 hundred trucks of eight got in yesterday. We expect at least that many today. 107 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:20.080 The hope was that this crossing could get up to speed and check two 108 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.080 hundred trucks a day, while the other crossing, the Nisana crossing, could 109 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.759 also check about two hundred trucks a day, so really the levels of eight 110 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.279 could come up to four hundred, that is the goal. Yesterday we saw 111 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.000 only two hundred went in, so we're going to keep our eyes on that. 112 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.879 It's good news because obviously the people of Gaza are in They are in 113 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.840 desperate need of everything, more food, more powdable water, more medicine, 114 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.000 sleeping bags, tents, et cetera. So remember, once it gets in, 115 00:09:54.799 --> 00:10:00.120 then there are other challenges. The UN has to distribute the aid and 116 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:07.000 that means traveling through areas that are now part of the war zone. So 117 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.919 you know, you solve one issue by getting more aiden, and there's still 118 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.399 another issue to solve. Yeah, and then real quick before we let you 119 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.639 go, we're hearing this morning that Israel has begun flooding those tunnels. Are 120 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:22.519 you hearing that? So the Israeli Army won't comment on that story. They 121 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.279 won't say anything about it. It was supported by American media and it was 122 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.039 based on US officials having been briefed by Israelis. But the army is not 123 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.039 commenting on that story. You know, the Israeli the head of the Israeli 124 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.320 Army, Herzelo Levey, said last week it's a good idea. You know, 125 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.000 there's a lot of ways to destroy the tunnels, so clearly it's one 126 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:52.919 of the options. But the EREL won't say officially if it's underway. Okay, 127 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.159 and so just in case you haven't heard about it yet, Basically, 128 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.759 what they're doing is they're pumping or the plan would be if they do in 129 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.840 fact do this, the plan would be to pump seawater in from the Mediterranean 130 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:11.559 and into those tunnels that are underneath Gaza. That's right, that's right. 131 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:20.080 The satellite shops show huge tubes going from the Mediterranean in northern Gaza through to 132 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:26.080 what you know look like areas where there are tunnels near the Alshati refugee camp. 133 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.879 And the idea would be to put the seatwater seawater through the tunnels to 134 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.639 flush out militants, so to speak, kill Hamas terraces who are hiding in 135 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.320 the tunnels and destroy their there any of their weapons that are there. The 136 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:48.240 one hundred and thirty five hostages are not believed to be in northern in northern 137 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.559 Gaza. They are believed to be held in southern Gaza. And that's one 138 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.320 of the reasons that in Israel is doing this. The north is a better 139 00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.679 place to start. Okay, well, we'll definitely be watching that one because 140 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.279 that could lead to some major developments. Jordanah Miller, thank you so much, 141 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.480 as always for your information. We appreciate it. Thank you. Talk 142 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.320 all right, talk soon. Let's get back to some of the stories coming 143 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.840 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A family in Rancho Cucamonga has 144 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:16.600 been held at gunpoint during a home invasion robbery. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's 145 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:22.000 Departments's two men broke into the home early yesterday. Neighbors till KTLA they heard 146 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.799 about it when they woke up. All I've heard is that, yeah, 147 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.559 that they were held at gunpoint, that they were tied up, and that 148 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.240 the brother or the sign was hitting the head. Deputies were going door to 149 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:37.519 door searching for security video and other evidence. The robbers allegedly took off up 150 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.799 a horse trail. A guy on parole from a life sentence for armed robbery 151 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.919 has been sentenced to nearly fifteen years in prison for another armed robbery. Federal 152 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.120 prosecutors say in twenty twenty two, Greg James and an accomplice ambushed an armored 153 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.639 truck driver near a Bank of America in Harbor City. They say the driver 154 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.759 was shot and James got away with about one hundred and forty five thousand dollars 155 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.039 in cash. It was a rest a short time later and has been in 156 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:07.799 custody since his arrest. Ukraine's president says Russia has again targeted Kiev. It 157 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:13.960 was ballistic missiles. President Zelenski said during a meeting with Norway's Prime minister that 158 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:20.639 several buildings were damaged by Russia and targets civilian civilians, infrastructure, no military 159 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.799 infrastructure. He says more than fifty people were hurt. Air defenses in Kiev 160 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.639 were activated for the second time this week as explosions were heard at about three 161 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.879 in the morning. The mayor says debris from the intercepted missiles fell on the 162 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.279 city. Speaking of the city of la we know that there's lots and lots 163 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.240 of good restaurants. Well, here are a couple more to watch. Because 164 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.200 the Michelin Guide to Restaurants for twenty twenty four isn't coming out for a few 165 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:52.320 months, but they apparently tease restaurants that might be included in it this year, 166 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.799 and three of the seven additions to the Michelin Guide are in Los Angeles, 167 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.879 so that could mean that one of these or all of these restaurants would 168 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.519 either get a star or could be noted as like a new up and coming 169 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.200 restaurant. So one of them is Hibbi in Korea Town. It opened in 170 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.080 a strip mall with a focus on Japanese cuisine, but it has really changed 171 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:24.240 into a fine dining scene so the transformed Hibbi is a more modern Japanese Korean 172 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.240 restaurant with intricate dishes like blue fin with winter truffle vinaigrette and puffed rice, 173 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:37.960 Parmesan laced dry aged short rib guioza, and bincho tan grilled abaloni. I 174 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.679 can't even say it, but I bet it's good. And then there's also 175 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.919 Baru, which is a modern Korean restaurant. It's in the arts district, 176 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.440 recently named an La Times one oh one list Awardi, and it has a 177 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:56.159 tasting menu including nicely seared hulky dough I don't even know how it's how you 178 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.000 say scallop but in a pool of watercress with cubed seaweed jelly, and puffed 179 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:07.600 rice. And then there's Olivia in Koreatown, which is vegetarian. The pizzas 180 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:13.080 at Olivia apparently very popular, but they also have Mexican and Korean influences on 181 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:20.200 their menu, with things like fried squash blossoms filled with macadamia ricotta and pepita 182 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.679 sauce, and also a fried oyster mushroom with goju. Chang might have to 183 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:31.000 recommend that one to our very own and very vocal Vegan Deborah Mark. The 184 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:37.399 Department of Education has launched an investigation into ethnic discrimination on six college campuses, 185 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.159 including UCLA, U See, San Diego, and Stanford. The DOE is 186 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:46.240 looking into alleged violations of Title six, which prohibits discrimination based on race or 187 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:52.519 national origin. The LAPD has completed its more than three month investigation and a 188 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.559 former Dodgers pitcher, Julio Urius, and turned its findings over to the DA's 189 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:02.600 office. The LA District Attorney will now side whether to charge Urius with felony 190 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:07.039 domestic violence. Federal reserve rate cuts could come as soon as June. That's 191 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.080 according to the latest CNBC FED survey. More than half of the thirty five 192 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:17.440 experts asked built in a survey said that they expect a rate cut by June. 193 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.080 About seventy percent say that it could happen by July. They also say 194 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.799 the odds of a recession are at about forty one percent. That's down eight 195 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.639 points from the last survey in October at six oh five. It's handle on 196 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.879 the news. Inflation seems to be in check, but the cost of rent, 197 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:36.679 going out to eat, and car insurance remains stubbornly high. Right Now 198 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:40.519 let's say good morning to KTLA tech reporter and the host of Rich on Tech 199 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:45.120 right here on KFI, Rich Demiro, Good morning, Rich, Good morning 200 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.840 to you. Amy. So we should be playing a funeral dirge for E 201 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.320 three. Yeah, this is kind of sad. This was a big event 202 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.000 that happened every June in Los Angeles. I have attended many times E three 203 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:02.759 Electronic Entertainment Expo focused on the new latest video games. It's been happening since 204 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:07.440 nineteen ninety five and it is officially dead. Last couple of years have been 205 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.119 kind of rough. It's either been online, it's either been postponed or canceled. 206 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.160 And now this year they're saying, you know what, no more so 207 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:18.400 is it because there's no interest or they did? They say why, it's 208 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:23.559 just the changing landscape of everything. So it started with some of these companies 209 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.960 dropping out, like Nintendo would do their own thing, like a direct to 210 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.119 consumer kind of event, and then Sony said we're done with the whole event. 211 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:37.880 Xbox, Microsoft, they kind of stuck in there, but you know, 212 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.599 it just became a place where not everything was all in one place, 213 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.079 and of course that's not really fun for the people that attend so it's just 214 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.039 kind of it kind of broke apart basically. So it's sort of like Comicicon 215 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.440 was last year, where there were no actors or anything. So it just 216 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.519 didn't it didn't have the oomph that it used to have. Yes, but 217 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.759 I think Comicon didn't have the actors because of the strike. And this is 218 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.200 kind of more of a major shift in the industry where Sony saying, you 219 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.200 know what, we could put on a better event all by ourselves. We 220 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.240 don't have to share the headlines than anyone else. And by the way, 221 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.240 it costs us a whole lot less to do it on our own, and 222 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.160 that's kind of what we're doing. But I think the pressure here is on 223 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.920 these other major events because people are wondering after the pandemic, do we need 224 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:23.359 in person events like a cees, like all these little events that I go 225 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.720 to, do we need those? And I think that's a big challenge in 226 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:32.359 the industry right now. Yeah, okay, iPhone is getting a new little 227 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:37.240 feature which might have come in handy when my iPhone got stolen. Yes, 228 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.000 this is huge. This is actually kudos to my pal over at Wall Street 229 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.559 Journal, Joanna Stern. This was based on good old fashioned reporting. They 230 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.640 basically said, hey, we noticed that a lot of people are getting their 231 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:53.079 iPhones stolen by thieves watching them put in their passcode, so they knew the 232 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.079 pass code to the phone, and then they'd steal that person's phone. So 233 00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.079 once they stole that phone, they could basically unlock anything on that device. 234 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:07.359 And here's the clincher here, when you use face ID on your iPhone, 235 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.680 if face ID doesn't work, it defaults back to the passcode. And that's 236 00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.720 a problem because that means someone with your passcode can get into all of your 237 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.759 different accounts and people would have money stolen. So now Apple is going to 238 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:25.119 introduce this feature. We're basically if you're not at home or at work or 239 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.480 a trusted location and you try to like reset the password on this phone, 240 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.720 it's not going to work, or it's going to give you a major delay 241 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.200 of at least an hour. So that means if a thief gets your phone, 242 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.640 gets your passcode, takes it to their their layer, you know, 243 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.079 their underground layer, and tries to steal it, it's going to say sorry, 244 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:44.920 you can't do anything right now. Good. That makes me happy. 245 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.160 I was lucky when when my phone got stolen. They didn't get into it. 246 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.359 I think I saw it up on one of those trading sites like two 247 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.240 hours later, but they never got into it and got anything. So that's 248 00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:57.880 good, all right, well good good goods. But this is coming out 249 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:02.160 in a new update to iOS. We just got one yesterday, but there's 250 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:03.119 gonna this is going to be the next one. Oh the next one. 251 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.319 So it's not yet available, but yeah, okay exactly, and then we 252 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.079 are ridding out of time as we always too rich. But you took a 253 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.160 ride in the Tesla of the Sea. Tell us just quickly about that, 254 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.200 and then where we can go watch you super super cool. It's called the 255 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.839 Arc One. This is a boat that's being built right here in Los Angeles. 256 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:26.119 It's an all electric speedboat. I went down to Long Beach, took 257 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.039 it for a spin, drove it, steered it, whatever you call it 258 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.279 for boats, and it was impressive. It's really really neat. It's very 259 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:34.960 expensive right now. But this company is a startup. They are like Tesla. 260 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.000 They are going to try to make cheaper, more affordable, mass market 261 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.160 versions. I will be on Ktla in just a few minutes to show you 262 00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.279 what this boat looks like. It is seriously cool. I wanted one, 263 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.079 but you know the price. Yeah, well there's that all right. Well 264 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.880 that sounds really fun. And we already know that they have duffies, but 265 00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:53.759 those are just for tool and a long. So this is a speedboat. 266 00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:56.599 Yeah, this is not a duffy. This is like, this is a 267 00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.400 serious boat, like, yeah, that you would want as always. Thank 268 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.240 you so much, rick A, Rick, I you know, I'm so 269 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:10.200 bad with names. Rich On Tech.

I swear we all do it. 275 00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:32.039 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 276 00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:36.640 four hour newsroom. LA County's district attorney says recent hate crimes against Jewish people 277 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.720 point to us disturbing rise in anti semitism, and Das charged one man was 278 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:45.000 spraying anti Semitic graffiti on a temple, a church, and an apartment complex 279 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.079 in Burbank. Another man that's been charged with attacking an elderly Jewish couple in 280 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.119 Beverly Hills over the weekend. Our nation is facing a crisis of hate crime 281 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.839 and this case is our symptom sold out. Da Gascone says. The man 282 00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:02.039 in the couple attacks suffered a laceration to his head. The alleged attacker is 283 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:06.920 facing life in prison like trolli kea Fye news Welly Kenny Sheriff's investigators are trying 284 00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:10.599 to find a missing thirteen year old mom and her two week old baby. 285 00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:14.599 They were last seen Sunday in South LA. Deputy say the teen mom might 286 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:18.359 have been headed to the East LA area. She's five' three with black 287 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.039 hair and brown eyes. She also has a tattoo of cursive writing on her 288 00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:26.319 face. The baby is black and Hispanic, about ten pounds nineteen inches long, 289 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.680 black hair, brown eyes. Marvel's Studios has revealed a black Panther animated 290 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:37.160 series is in the work. Marvel executive Brad Winderbaum tease the project during an 291 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.880 event to promote another series. He says, Eyes of Wakanda will tell the 292 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:47.640 story of warriors who have traveled across the world to retrieve vibranium artifacts from Wakanda. 293 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.519 The studio is reportedly working on several series set in Wakanda Wakanda Forever. 294 00:22:53.440 --> 00:23:00.319 The UN General Assembly has demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. The General 295 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:04.240 Assembly got a two thirds majority yesterday and passed the resolution. Two amendments to 296 00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:08.680 the ceasefire proposed by the US and Austria both failed. The US says it 297 00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.200 doesn't support a full on ceasefire, but does support a pause in fighting. 298 00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:17.559 A man accused of spray painting Nazi symbols on a synagogue and other public and 299 00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.799 private property in Glendale and Burbank has been charged with vandalism and ten counts of 300 00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.319 hate crimes.

Taylor Swift is thirty four years old 302 00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.799 today and to celebrate her birthday with her fans. Her Era's Tour movie that's 303 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:36.720 made more than one hundred and fifty million dollars at the box office, is 304 00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:41.640 now available for streaming on Prime Video at six oh five. It's handle on 305 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.519 the news. You could soon have your car help keep you from driving Drunk. 306 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.680 Bill will tell you all about that. At five point fifty, we're 307 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.160 gonna be talking with ABC Stephen Portnoy about what's next in the impeachment inquiry into 308 00:23:52.200 --> 00:24:00.799 President Biden and when we could see that next step Amy's audience, Sami's on 309 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:07.599 this, Aami's on its on it? What am I on? I'm on 310 00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:12.759 streaming movies, TV series, documentaries, new stuff, old stuff, stuff 311 00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:18.839 you might have missed. And I was telling you that there's so much out 312 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.000 there, like you just don't know what to pick, and how do you 313 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:23.920 choose because there's good stuff out there and there's some not so good stuff out 314 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:27.319 there. And so I take recommendations from friends and then hopefully I can also 315 00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:33.359 check them out for you and make a recommendation for you as well. And 316 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.920 I got this recommendation from my friend an our traffic guy, Nick Poli Jochini. 317 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.160 He said he have you watched Spirited? And I was like, no, 318 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.359 I don't even think I've heard of that, So I thought I better 319 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.960 check it out. So Spirited is on Apple TV. It's a full length 320 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.119 movie, not a series, just a movie, and it's a Christmas show 321 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:57.920 and it is It was released last year, and I have this vague recollection 322 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.200 of hearing about it but then never really heard like how it was and all 323 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:04.279 of that stuff. So I thought, I'm going to go check it out. 324 00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:08.640 Last year or last week I told you about Candy Cane Lane, and 325 00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:11.079 as much as I wanted to like it, I hated it. So as 326 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:18.519 much as I hated Candy Canlane, I loved Spirited. The movie takes a 327 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.680 look at a Christmas Carol, but from a different perspective. It's from the 328 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:30.279 perspective of the ghosts who live in a musical afterlife. It sounds a little 329 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.960 weird, but so and they say right at the outset that they do supernatural 330 00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:38.039 simulations to try to redeem lost souls, you know, like empathizer Scrooge in 331 00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:42.720 a Christmas Carol. But it's set in modern times. It stars Will Ferrell, 332 00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.000 Ryan Reynolds, Octavia Spencer, and then there's someone else that you're going 333 00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:49.240 to recognize, but I don't want to tell you who it is because you'll 334 00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:52.000 know it when you hear it. You don't see the person, but you 335 00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.000 hear them. So the story is set in the present, but it's also 336 00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.119 in the past. It's also a little bit in the future, and Will 337 00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:03.680 Ferrell is the ghost of Christmas Present and he's got his heart set on redeeming 338 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:08.720 one soul. So I said, it's a musical. So the characters do 339 00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:15.359 break into song quite a bit, and the music is really solid. The 340 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.759 songs are catchy, they're fun, they're toe tappers, and one of they're 341 00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.720 actually a couple of them are already sticking on my head. My favorite song 342 00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:25.680 in the movie, and I'm just going to tell you the name is Good 343 00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:27.759 Afternoon. I can't tell you any more about it because that would spoil it. 344 00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:30.279 But when you hear it, you're going to understand why I love it. 345 00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:33.519 And who knew that Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds could sing. I mean, 346 00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:37.720 they're not, like, I don't know, they're no Taylor Swift, 347 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:42.359 but they seriously give solid performances and it's really fun to watch. The story 348 00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:47.279 unfolds nicely. It's well thought out. All the pieces come together. The 349 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:51.119 story arc is really strong and entertaining. And if you haven't seen this one 350 00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:55.759 or maybe even heard about it, I say please do watch it. The 351 00:26:55.960 --> 00:27:00.559 Christmas classic. I don't know, maybe, but it even could be a 352 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:04.519 musical, Like I was watching going this could be on stage. The music 353 00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.920 I thought was like I said, it was really good. So if you 354 00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:12.480 want to get into a merry Christmas move watch Spirited and then let me know 355 00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:15.240 what you think. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 356 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:21.200 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Israeli Defense forces have begun targeting the 357 00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:25.839 tunnel system used by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Israel flooding the vast labyrinth 358 00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.559 of tunnels under Gaza where Hamas leaders are believed to be hiding. According to 359 00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:33.200 US officials, the IDEF isn't commenting about the safety of the one hundred and 360 00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.759 thirty five remaining hostages, including Americans, who may remain in those tunnels. 361 00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.119 ABC's James Longman in Tel Aviv says it's not known for sure where the hostages 362 00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.240 are. Some family members say they fear their loved ones might be in the 363 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:49.200 tunnels and could be killed by the flooding. Israeli forces say Hamas has used 364 00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:55.279 the tunnels to move around the battlefield and to store rockets and ammunition. Israel's 365 00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:59.640 media says at least seven Israeli soldiers have been killed in an ambush in Gaza 366 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.839 City, Israeli ground troops have been fighting Hamas militants in and around the city. 367 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:08.240 Zara has pulled ad photos that appeared to reference Israel's war against Tamas. 368 00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:15.039 The photos for a line of jackets included what the company called unfinished sculptures in 369 00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.440 a sculptor's studio, but it was met with backlash when some people argued the 370 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:23.920 mannequins resembled someone holding a corpse. The company apologized, saying the campaign was 371 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:30.240 conceived in July and then photographed in September. The Israel Hamas war began in 372 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:34.599 October. Nine people have been caught in a prostitution sting in Pomona. Police 373 00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:41.640 say the operation yesterday targeted sex purchasers and human trafficking in the area near East 374 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.599 Holt Avenue and Indian Hill Boulevard. Police say they take a proactive approach to 375 00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:52.920 fighting human trafficking. In twenty twenty two, Pomona police rescued eleventeens and several 376 00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:57.759 adults. The ex director of an outclosed Los Angeles anti poverty agency, who 377 00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:02.799 was also a well known fundraiser for former President Obama, has been since to 378 00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:06.920 six months in prison and six months of home detention for embezzling money from the 379 00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:11.759 nonprofit organization. Howard Slingerland was also ordered pay more than seven hundred and fifty 380 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.480 thousand dollars in fines and restitution, and performed two hundred hours of community service. 381 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:21.160 In his plea agreement, he admitted to spending thousands on personal expenses, 382 00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:26.119 including his property taxes, family dinners of family members, tutoring, and home 383 00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:30.839 computers and software. The thirteen year old mom and her two week old we 384 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.920 just told you about that we're missing from South LA have been found. The 385 00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:40.720 mom and baby had last been seen on Sunday. Officials say that the two 386 00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:44.599 were critically missing. The Lakeni Sheriff's Department says thanks to the public, the 387 00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:48.799 media and deputies, the thirteen year old and the baby have been located. 388 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.920 No other details were given, lad they're back home. House Republicans have passed 389 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:57.319 a resolution to authorize a vote on whether to launch a formal impeachment investigation into 390 00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:02.359 President Biden. House could vote on whether to move forward with the increy into 391 00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:07.000 whether the president benefited from foreign business dealings with his son as early as today. 392 00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:10.720 In fact, we're waiting to hear from Stephen Portnoy with ABC. He's 393 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:12.240 going to tell us a little bit more about this, dig into it, 394 00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:17.519 a little bit that's coming up in just a minute. The LAPD has completed 395 00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:23.079 it's more than three month investigation into former Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias and turned its 396 00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:29.319 finding over to the DA's office. The LA County District Attorney will now decide 397 00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.839 whether to charge Urius with felony domestic violence. We're just minutes away from a 398 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.480 handle on the news this morning, the New World has a new climate deal, 399 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:42.960 but does it hold water? Hey, do you know that Sears closed 400 00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:48.240 all across the country, Well, guess what they're back. Hundreds of stores 401 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:53.559 closed in twenty eighteen, But two months ago the Sears in Burbank kind of 402 00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:59.599 quietly turned its lights back on and opened up. There's only like twelve Seers 403 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:03.960 stores. And don't really know if they're trying to reopen a bunch of stores 404 00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:10.920 or what, but it's open and there's appliances and mattresses and all kinds of 405 00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:12.039 stuff in the series. I haven't been in it yet, but I think 406 00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:15.359 I might go check it out. I know that remember Ken Moore impliances were 407 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:21.160 the kind of industry standard craftsmen tools still are, and then All State Insurance 408 00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:25.160 kind of got it started at Sears too, So who knows. Maybe they're 409 00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:29.640 back. Baby, are you ready to talk to Stephen? We're not ready 410 00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:30.799 to talk to Stephen. Okay, fine, let's get back to some of 411 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.480 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Then a member 412 00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:40.799 of the La County Sheriff's Department says the new sheriff has formed a hit squad. 413 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:45.319 Lieutenant John O'Donnell says Sheriff Luna and Luna's command staff targeted him for supporting 414 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:49.200 previous Shriff Alex Vanuava's reelection campaign. O'Donnell says a month before the election in 415 00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:52.640 twenty twenty two, he was being transferred from the East LA station to the 416 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.960 Narcotics Bureau, but after Luna won the election, the promotion was rescinded without 417 00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:02.359 explanation. O'Donnell has file the lawsuit with claims of whistleblow or retaliation, discrimination 418 00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:07.400 and harassment, and says others who supported Via Nueva have also been targets. 419 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.319 The department says it cannot comment on pending litigation. Steve Gregory Kaya finans, 420 00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:17.079 Okay, now we have Stephen Portnoy with ABC National News correspondent Steven the House 421 00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:22.559 Republicans could be voting as soon as today on whether to launch a formal impeachment 422 00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:27.039 inquiry into President Biden. We expect they will. We expect this is going 423 00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.279 to pass on a party line vote later today to authorize the impeachment inquiry. 424 00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:34.279 That's really been underway for a few months, but this vote formalizes it and 425 00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.880 it gives more oomph to the investigation when the House has to go to court 426 00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:45.559 to compel production of documents or testimony that they say they're being stonewall or steymied 427 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:49.440 in their attempts to get things, for example, such as emails that were 428 00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.519 sent or received, or believed to have been sent and received by Joe Biden 429 00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:58.119 at the time he was vice president from twenty nine to twenty seventeen under pseudonyms. 430 00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:00.880 Now, why would a man use a pseudon him if he's the vice 431 00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:02.200 president of the United States, Well, because he doesn't want to get emails 432 00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:07.119 from you or me or anybody else if his email addresses circulating out there on 433 00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:12.200 the internet. And so you see this often at at high levels of corporations 434 00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:16.440 at the CEO level or government agencies. They'll have the principle with a sort 435 00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:20.319 of a fake email address or an email address that the average member of the 436 00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:24.400 public can't access. So the Republicans say, the White House, the National 437 00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:30.599 Archives has been dragging its feet in getting that information to the committee. So 438 00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:34.920 to bolster the efforts to enforce a subpoena, they're going to take this vote 439 00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:37.680 today to formalize the process. So it just like you said, it just 440 00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:44.559 gives them a little more oomph or kind of the law behind them, because 441 00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:46.720 up until then they can say, nah, you don't have anything formal, 442 00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:52.440 so we don't have to give it to you. The dynamic has essentially it's 443 00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:57.880 a face off between two coequal branches of government, and within this inter branch 444 00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:02.680 conflict, each branch is going to do all it can to protect its equities 445 00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:07.559 and say you can't have it because it's mine, and you don't have the 446 00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:10.760 power to compel it, because we don't have to listen to you, because 447 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:16.519 the separation of powers provides that you can't reach in too deep into what we're 448 00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:22.280 up to. Well, that's fair, but what the courts have said over 449 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:27.719 the decades is that when the House of Representatives is conducting an impeachment inquiry or 450 00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:31.079 working toward impeaching a president or any other official. The House is at the 451 00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:35.480 as the lawyers put, at the apex of its power, that it's seeking 452 00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:40.920 to invoke its constitutional power and of a grave matter. And when it's seeking 453 00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:45.800 to do that, the court should give deference to that branch in the inter 454 00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:52.199 branch conflict. So Congress, you win, President you lose. And that's 455 00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:57.320 what the House is working toward today. Okay. And does it appear from 456 00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:00.719 what you've seen that all the Republicans are on board because they only have a 457 00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:07.519 three vote cushion. Well, look, some moderates who have not been convinced 458 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:10.880 by their colleagues that the president has done anything that's worthy of impeachment are nevertheless 459 00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:15.119 going to vote for this inquiry resolution today because they are able to point to 460 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:20.880 what they see as obstruction. And the idea is that, well, all 461 00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:22.159 right, you know, we would have tried playing nice, and now we 462 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:27.079 got to play a bit more hardball, okay, And then if they do 463 00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:35.400 pass they launched this, then what happens, Well, then you'll see hearings 464 00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:42.079 and other efforts to try to really narrow this investigation and try to produce evidence 465 00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:46.320 that will be compelling. So far, the Democrats would tell you the Republicans 466 00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:52.400 have not produced compelling evidence that's worthy of the drafting and passing of articles of 467 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.559 impeachment, triggering a trial in the Senate that might ultimately end in Joe Biden's 468 00:35:55.559 --> 00:36:00.079 ouster and Kamala Harris becoming President of the United States. There's been a lot 469 00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.719 of innuendo, a lot of suggestion that over this time he was vice president, 470 00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:09.559 Joe Biden may have met with or had conversations with some of Hunter and 471 00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:15.159 James Biden's clients, but the testimony so far has been that it was a 472 00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:19.000 bunch of hey, how you doing, how's the weather, and not anything 473 00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:23.440 substantive that would mean that Joe Biden's vice president took any direct actions on behalf 474 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:29.599 of the government to advance the interests of James and Hunter Biden's paying clients. 475 00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:34.239 Okay, but this is also so the inquiry. They're going to do the 476 00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.840 hearings just so we get the process straight. And if after all the hearings 477 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:42.960 they go okay, let's file articles of impeachment, then the House has to 478 00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:46.440 vote and get a majority to do that yes, okay, and then after 479 00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:50.760 that it would go to the Senate. And then do you just need a 480 00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:53.920 simple majority, You need the two thirds if you really wanted to oust him. 481 00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:59.039 Well remember, and I think we were getting a few steps ahead of 482 00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:00.400 ourselves, but if it were to go to a trial in the Senate, 483 00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:06.000 it would require a two thirds vote to convict a sitting president or any other 484 00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:09.679 official and then ounced that man from office. When when Donald Trump was impeached 485 00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:14.239 the second time, there were fifty seven votes that he was guilty, but 486 00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:17.239 it wasn't enough. You needed sixty seven votes. And so you know, 487 00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:22.639 yesterday Chuck Schumer was asked in a news conference whether if the House does approve 488 00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:27.920 articles of impeachment, whether the House whether the Senate might dispense with those charges 489 00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:30.239 and not conduct a trial. Schumer was not willing to engage in that. 490 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:36.960 But when you know, this was in when when Donald Trump was in peach, 491 00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:40.400 not once but twice, that question rose, and the suggestion was that 492 00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:45.760 the trial should proceed and hear all the evidence and then move to its conclusion. 493 00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:50.039 It's sort of an unanswered question. We haven't had a circumstance where the 494 00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:53.400 House of Representatives has impeached to sitting president, and the Senate has rejected those 495 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:58.800 charges and refused to hold a trial.
