Immigration and Customs enforcement arrested the group from Tajikistan 17 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:34.680 who crossed the US Mexico border illegally last year. They were initially cleared to 18 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.319 come into the country after being vetted. Federal officials are now in the process 19 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.719 of deporting them. The US Board of Regents will meet to discuss the appointment 20 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:48.920 of a new UCLA chancellor. Chancellor Gene Block, who will retire on June 21 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.480 thirty first, has come to a rather controversial end to his career at UCLA 22 00:01:55.519 --> 00:02:00.400 after several weeks of violence, hundreds of arrests and allegations of anti sematism tied 23 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.959 to campus protests against the Israel Hamas War. Joey Chestnut's been banned from the 24 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:12.599 annual July fourth Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog eating Contest. The sixteen time winner 25 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.479 of the contest won't be allowed to participate this year because of a deal he 26 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.639 signed with vegan food brand Impossible Foods.

At six five, 34 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.319 it's Handle on the news. Four years later, the city of la 35 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.560 has voted to end COVID vaccine requirements for workers. Let's get started with some 36 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.000 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Authorities in 37 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:07.159 three cities, including Los Angeles, have arrested eight people with suspected ties to 38 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.919 ISIS. ABC's Aaron Katirsky says the group came across the southern border illegally. 39 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.400 Individuals from the former Soviet Republic of Tajikistan came to the US since the end 40 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:21.000 of last year. They were vetted at the time. Arrests were also made 41 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:25.599 in New York and Philadelphia. Several people have attacked a Ralph's worker in Encino 42 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.199 who stopped a woman from shoplifting. The worker says he caught the young woman 43 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.400 trying to walk out with bags full of groceries, and hours later she came 44 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.759 back to the store with two men. Footage shows one of those men throwing 45 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.919 a punch at the worker, and the employee says at one point a shopping 46 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:43.479 cart was shoved into him. He says the group assaulted him and then took 47 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.000 off. Laped responded to the attack Monday afternoon, but no injuries were reported. 48 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:52.439 Police say they're still looking for those involved. Ralphs has not yet responded 49 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:57.639 to requests for comment. Chris Adler KFI News A Riverside County Sheriff's deputy has 50 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.240 shot and killed a woman in Corona. The Sheriff's department says the shooting yesterday 51 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.479 happened as the woman was assaulting the deputy and a guy with her fought the 52 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:11.439 deputy and tried to take the officer's gun. Witnesses helped detain the guy until 53 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.439 other officers in paramedics arrived. The woman shot died at the hospital. The 54 00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:19.319 guy was arrested on suspicion of murder, attempted murder of a peace officer, 55 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:26.560 mayhem, and resisting an officer with violence. The COVID nineteen vaccine mandate for 56 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.040 La City employees has ended. More than a year after the city's COVID emergency 57 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.120 declaration expired, the city council has voted to no longer require vaccinations as a 58 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:39.920 condition of employment. Former LAPD sergeant Enginein Badard, who was fired after twenty 59 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.319 four years for refusing to get the JAB, said yesterday she's still working to 60 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.800 get her job back. I am not here to blame you for the chaos 61 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.839 employees have endured over the last three years, but I am here to ask 62 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:54.399 that you used your authority to end this ridiculous mandate. The city implemented the 63 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.639 vaccine mandate in the fall of twenty twenty one. In downtown La Michael Monks 64 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:03.199 KFI News, police and city officials are noticing new burglary trends in the San 65 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:09.800 Gabriel and Crescenta Valleys. Much more sophisticated criminals are using Wi Fi jammers to 66 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.879 basically bypass any type of security system that you may have to make it so 67 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:17.800 that it's not any alerts that doesn't go through cameras can capture them. Director 68 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:24.040 of Administrative Services for La Kenyada flint Ridge, a Robo Parsigian, says when 69 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.360 the Wi Fi jammers work, residents don't even get notified that they've been robbed. 70 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.839 The city's recommending homeowners update firewalls and firmware for their home security devices, 71 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.120 and install glass detectors on doors, which can also send alerts to phones. 72 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:42.240 In response to the high tech home burglaries, more deputies are patrolling both visibly 73 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.240 and undercover. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Steven Portnoy. 74 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:51.480 Good morning, Stephen, Well, good morning to you. So Hunter Biden 75 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:56.040 guilty on all three counts. Can you tell us a little bit about the 76 00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.680 specifics of what he was found guilty of. Well, he was found guilty 77 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.560 of knowingly lying on a background check form about his drug use when he bought 78 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.480 a cult revolver in twenty eighteen. Two of the three counts are related to 79 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.199 that. He was also found guilty of using drugs while he had possession of 80 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.240 that gun, which is a third count. So in total, the charges 81 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.600 carry a maximum sentence of twenty five years in prison, but legal experts say 82 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.839 that would be unlikely given the lack of any prior convictions and the fact that 83 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:28.519 it's a non violent offense. And so what are the other options for him, 84 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.560 like he could get fined, is that one of the options. Sure, 85 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.439 fine, probation. I mean, look, it'll be entirely up to 86 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:39.279 Judge Mary Ellen no Reika whenever she decides to set the sentencing. She did 87 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:44.759 not set a sentencing date yesterday. And you know, the prosecutors will make 88 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.319 their recommendation, the defense will have a chance to respond, and the judge 89 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:53.680 will make a sentence. Okay, and the jurors are already talking. This 90 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:58.480 has been really remarkable. The jurors emerged from the courthouse yesterday and essentially dove 91 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.959 for the cameras, some of them willing to identify themselves, others refusing to, 92 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:08.680 but otherwise sharing insights into what happened. One juror who we spoke with 93 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.240 said that initially the vote on Monday, when the jury first got the case, 94 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.120 was six to six. That the jury was split down the middle, 95 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.680 six in favor of conviction, six leaning toward acquittal. But by the end 96 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:24.439 of the third hour of deliberations late yesterday morning, the jurors who were skeptical 97 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.839 of convicting Hunter Biden came around. They were convinced, and largely were told 98 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.720 by jurors it was because of the text messages that around the time he's buying 99 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.439 the gun, he's text messaging his dealer or talking about a dealer named Muki. 100 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.519 And they just couldn't believe and didn't find it credible that Hunter Biden, 101 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.279 after years of using drugs, was suddenly clean and not an addict and didn't 102 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.519 believe himself to be an addict when he bought the gun. So they convicted 103 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:55.879 him, okay. And then when he was the verdicts were announced, what 104 00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:00.480 was his reaction, Well, at first he appeared to be stone faced, 105 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.959 and then he seemed to acknowledge and take it in that he was being found 106 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:09.720 guilty. He turned to his legal team and embraced them. He looked back 107 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.399 at his mother, the First Lady, and his wife who was sitting there, 108 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.040 and emerged from the courthouse holding Jill Biden's hand, holding his wife Melissa's 109 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.439 hand, and in the end of the day yesterday, the President of the 110 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.839 United States set aside affairs of state and flew to Wilmington, Delaware, and 111 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.879 gave his son a hug. The President issued a statement saying he stands by 112 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.000 his son and also respects the jury's verdict. Last week, in an ABC 113 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.360 News interview, the President told David mure that he has ruled out a pardon 114 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.480 of Hunter. And remember this is just one of the two cases being brought 115 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.840 by the Special Council. The other case will be heard in your neck of 116 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:52.919 the woods in Los Angeles later this year. And this could be a case 117 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.159 that could be very embarrassing to Hunter Biden and to his family because it involves 118 00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.080 the allegation that for years he failed to pay his federal income taxes on time 119 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.120 and instead, you know, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on drugs and 120 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:11.000 escorts and cars and clothes, all while evading the IRS. So he's going 121 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.039 to be a facing trial for that in September, if that doesn't get pushed 122 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.320 back again. But he's he's now paid those taxes, right, that's right, 123 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.320 But he still has to pay the piper, right, and he has 124 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.480 to own up to the fact that for years he did not pay his taxes 125 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.320 on time. Okay, all right, I know that you are a man 126 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.759 in demand today with the verdicts coming in and coming in so quickly, so 127 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.759 we're going to let you go. Thank you so much for the insight, 128 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.639 Stephen Portnoy, appreciate it, you bet, all right, let's get back 129 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.240 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 130 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.159 La may spend more than a million bucks to rent new offices downtown for city 131 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.559 workers. The city's housing department has four hundred employees who've been working at home 132 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.399 since a previous lease had another building expired at the end of February. Now, 133 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.799 the city is lo looking to spend one point three million dollars for rent, 134 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.960 parking, and improvements for a one year sublease from Nordstrom at seven hundred 135 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.919 South Flower Street, near the Block Shopping Center. The city Council's Government Operations 136 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:15.120 Committee approved the proposal at yesterday's meeting. The rent is five hundred and thirty 137 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.840 seven thousand dollars for twelve months, and one hundred and thirty parking spaces is 138 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:24.320 another half million dollars for the year in downtown La Michael Monks KFI News LAPD 139 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.159 gang officers have shot and killed a guy with a gun in Pacoima. The 140 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.159 officers had stopped a black BMW last night, when they say the front passenger 141 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.399 got out and ran. The shooting happened during the chase. Police say a 142 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.840 gun was recovered at the scene. No officers were hurt. A chiropractor in 143 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.759 Valencia has been arrested for allegedly hiding a small camera in a restroom in his 144 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.039 office. The camera was discovered by an employee about a month ago. It 145 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:56.039 was taped inside a cabinet facing the toilet. Nicholas vander Hay was arrested last 146 00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.200 week. He was booked on a fellon account of possession of obscene mattered depicting 147 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.919 a minor and a misdemeanor count of photographing a person in a restaurant. Actually, 148 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.159 a restroom restaurant would be a totally different thing. Sonic booms have been 149 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.279 rattling Santa Barbara County residents and wildlife as SpaceX keeps up with its busy launch 150 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.480 schedule from Vandenberg Space Force Space. There is currently no plan to deal with 151 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.840 the matter, and more rocket launches are scheduled through this year and beyond, 152 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.519 including one scheduled for tomorrow night. The Navy plans to do a final cleanup 153 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.720 of the massive World War two blimp hanger in Tustin that was destroyed by fire. 154 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.879 The Navy promised another twenty seven million dollars to complete a commitment to reimburse 155 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.480 the eighty eight million dollars test and spent to clean up after a fire that 156 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:45.360 started in November. Tustin Mayor Austin Lombard says the final cleanup includes removing tons 157 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.919 of debris and eight needs to come in and clean that up, deconstruct the 158 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.639 rest of the hangar, and decide what to do with four seventeen story columns. 159 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.240 There is a sentiment in the community that they could be part of a 160 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.559 future memorial, which I think is nice. But if they're not structurally sound, 161 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.399 those columns will have to come down. The Navy's year long clean up 162 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.320 project could start this summer in Orange County.

State regulators gave Waimo 181 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:35.240 permission to operate its driverless ride haling service in a sixty three square mile area 182 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:41.000 stretching from Santa Monica and Venice to downtown LA. A former USC linebackers agreed 183 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.879 to plead guilty to felony mail fraud for plotting to fraudulently get more than a 184 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:52.120 million dollars in COVID nineteen unemployment benefits. Abdul Malik McLain was charged with multiple 185 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:58.360 counts of mail fraud and aggravated identity theft in twenty twenty one. In twenty 186 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.399 twenty, during the pandemic, Kila Day organized and helped a group of USC 187 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:09.360 teammates file phony claims for unemployment benefits. Classy, Irvine has been ranked the 188 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.840 third best city in the US to raise a family. The wallet hub survey 189 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.720 looked at forty five key metrics of one hundred and eighty cities. Fremont is 190 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.080 number one on the list based on things for overall wealth, health, and 191 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.639 access to activities at six oh five. It's handling the news HMAS has responded 192 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:33.320 to as ceasefire plan for Gaza. Apparently they've made some changes. Right now, 193 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.879 Let's say good morning to the host of Rich on Tech on KFI. 194 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.799 It's Rich Demiro, fresh off a trip to Cooper Tino. Good morning, 195 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:45.440 Rich, Hey there, good morning, Yes, I'm back you're back and 196 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:50.840 where were you? Just so everybody knows. Apple had their big event this 197 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.600 week called Worldwide Developers Conference, so that the keynote was on Monday yesterday. 198 00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.559 Obviously a lot of sessions and developer sessions and things like that and back now. 199 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.559 So at the Worldwide Developers Conference, I know, they make a lot 200 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.159 of announcements which we're going to talk about. But then you said they have 201 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.039 sessions, So they have like software developers come and it's a big conference and 202 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.879 they all get together in pow wow and plan and stuff. Yeah. So 203 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.919 I mean the main keynote kicks off the entire conference that is geared towards you 204 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.919 know, consumers and also investors and just the general public. Developers are in 205 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:30.519 the audience obviously, but the rest of the week are all these sessions where 206 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.720 if you want to create an app for the iPhone, that's where you go 207 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.799 because you want to learn about the key features and tools that Apple creates that 208 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.279 can help you make a great app and help you, you know, get 209 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.879 your app on the iPhone and also use the features that take advantage of different 210 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.320 sensors and you know, health Kit and all these different things that Apple has 211 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.440 built. Oh, Okay, so it's a working conference, not only a 212 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.399 conference to tell us about all the cool new things that Apple is unveiling, 213 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.159 like Apple Intelligence. It's not artificial intelligence, it's Apple Intelligence. No, 214 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:10.279 only Apple could rename an entire genre of technology from AI to Apple Intelligence. 215 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.080 It took me a little bit to get that. But Apple's doing this kind 216 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.519 of differently. So they're doing it in three different ways. Number One, 217 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.000 on your device, so the iPhone fifteen pro and up will be able to 218 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.159 take advantage of their on device, you know, kind of their own version 219 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.519 of chat GBT built in, And so when you ask Siri things, it 220 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.080 will look in your email, will look in your text messages, it will 221 00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:33.320 look in your photo library, and you can get really good answers theoretically about 222 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.720 the stuff that is already on your phone. Then if it needs a little 223 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.480 bit more computing power, Apple has built these private servers that will do the 224 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.559 same thing. And as soon as they use it for their AI Apple Intelligence 225 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.279 to get your answer, they will delete all the data. So let's say 226 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.759 you need to like look through your email in a big way, they might 227 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.240 put all those emails on the server for a second, look through them, 228 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.320 come up with the answer and then delete all that information. And then finally, 229 00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:00.360 if they can't come up with an answer those two ways, they might 230 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.960 say, hey, this might be a better answer for chat GBT. Would 231 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.559 you like us to hand your question off to chat GBT. And they're also 232 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.559 doing that in a very private way as well. So three different flavors of 233 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:17.559 AI on the new iPhones coming soon, wow and will all will all of 234 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:22.519 them work together, play in the sandbox together or are they separate functions? 235 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.400 The first two are sort of together. They're very seamless. The third they're 236 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.640 very clear about making sure anything that is sent to chat GBT you are clear. 237 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.720 So if you get a document a PDF and you say, hey, 238 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.200 can you tell me the key you know, items out of this document, 239 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.400 it will say, yeah, that's something that chat GBT can do pretty well. 240 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.680 Would you like us to send that document over there to analyze? And 241 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.960 they will do that in a very private way. They made a separate deal 242 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.839 with chat gbt to you know, make this data, hand it over privately. 243 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.680 And Apple made a big deal about that because AI, you know, 244 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.119 all the information you feed into it. It's generally training the AI with your 245 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:07.039 information and data to make it better. And then I'm wondering if as Apple 246 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:12.400 Intelligence develops, as chat GPT has developed over the last year or two, 247 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:18.920 if they'll stop referring as much to chat GPT because Apple Intelligence will have caught 248 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:23.799 up. Yeah, I think that's that's an interesting thought and something that could 249 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:29.359 happen. I think that it depends. It depends. You know, everyone 250 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.319 has always thought that Apple's going to get in the search engine game, you 251 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:34.440 know, take over Google, make its own search on the iPhone. It 252 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.279 still has yet to do that. It's got a lot of information, but 253 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:42.119 it hasn't completely gone and done its own things. So they could do that, 254 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:47.200 but I think right now they're focusing on just making their products really intelligent 255 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.400 and smart. So when you're looking for that document or you say, hey, 256 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:52.920 when's my flight tomorrow? Or hey, you know, what are the 257 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.880 three things my boss told me I need to answer this week, you know 258 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.279 questions, it'll give you all those answers really easily and private manner. Okay. 259 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.920 And then I have a question about photo Library because I run into this 260 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.240 a lot because I'm probably like you guys, I have like five thousand pictures 261 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:15.400 on my phone, and you said that you can that the AI will help 262 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:19.640 with answer questions about photos. Will it help find photos or will it say 263 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:22.880 hey when was I at Disneyland? No, it could do. I mean, 264 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:27.079 it's it's pretty incredible actually, So you can say something as specific as 265 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:36.400 find the photo of me taking a dive into that lake in Utah, and 266 00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:40.240 it will literally bring you to the moment in that video where you dive into 267 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.960 the lake in Utah. And so, yeah, it's coming up with this 268 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:47.720 index of everything that's on your phone. I mean, you know, we 269 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.440 saw some demos yesterday. It's quite incredible. You know, it's not gonna 270 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:53.799 be perfect at the beginning, but it is. The idea that they have 271 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:59.160 is pretty far reaching. Okay, So then my question is, because I 272 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.680 do have the fifteen so I can get it on that, do I have 273 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.759 to download an app? Or is it just going to be there? You 274 00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.759 have to have the fifteen Pro that is the one with the three cameras on 275 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:12.559 the back, So if you have that fifteen Pro or fifteen Promax, those 276 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:17.119 will be the first phones to get these features. Apple is being a little 277 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:21.880 coy about when these AI features will come out. So iOS eighteen, which 278 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:23.559 is, you know, the new version of the software that's going to launch 279 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:27.519 right now, developers are playing with that. Then it's going to launch as 280 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:32.039 a public beta next month in July, and then there will be the final 281 00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:36.400 release in the fall, usually with the coordination of the iPhone. But they 282 00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.440 haven't said if the intelligence features are going to launch on the first day. 283 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:42.400 They kind of won't nail down that date just yet because a lot of this 284 00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.920 stuff is still being worked out. So, but your phone will be among 285 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.880 the first. The iPhone fifteen Pro models plus the iPhone sixteen models will be 286 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:53.160 among the first to get access to all these smart features. Okay, So 287 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.319 if you have a thirteen or fourteen year out of luck and you have to 288 00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:59.960 get a new phone, if you want to play with Apple Intelligence. Yeah, 289 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:00.720 which, by the way, I mean think about it. What does 290 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.359 Apple want to do the most? They want to sell hardware and software, 291 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.440 and that's going to sell a lot of phones. People want AI, they 292 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:14.000 want they have that AIV okay, aib okay. So you mentioned the iOS 293 00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:15.599 eighteen and some of the new things that are coming out. What are some 294 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.640 of the new toys and tricks that are going to be with that? Sure? 295 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.640 Sure, very kind of a nice upgrade. You're going to be able 296 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.480 to place icons. Basically, this upgrade is all about customizing your phone. 297 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.559 You can place icons anywhere you want on your screen. You can colorize them, 298 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.400 make them any color you want. You can have multiple control center panels, 299 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.759 so if you want to control your home stuff, if you want to 300 00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:40.400 control your audio, so you can swipe through that sort of control center. 301 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.319 Hidden apps this is a big one. You can require a passcode to unlock 302 00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.920 apps. You can also put apps in a hidden folder that nobody can see 303 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:49.799 when they look at your phone, which is pretty cool. They have a 304 00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:53.680 dedicated passwords app, so it'll keep track of all of your passwords now on 305 00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:59.799 your iPhone. And there's a neat feature where you can send your messages over 306 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.680 satellite. So if you don't have Wi Fi or cellular, your text messages, 307 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.440 your I messages, they will default to satellite, which basically means you 308 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.839 are now in touch anywhere you can go, pretty much in the US and 309 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.279 sometimes out of the US as well. And finally, OURCS messaging support. 310 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:22.400 This means that you can finally send full resolution or at least high resolution pictures 311 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.799 and videos between iPhones and androids. That is going to be a huge, 312 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.200 huge, wind. That is going to be cool because my Android friends cannot 313 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:34.480 send me cool videos. No they look horrible, Yes they do. They're 314 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:40.359 little, teeny tiny and pixelated. So is does it get rid of the 315 00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:42.319 blue green messaging thing? Or is that still going to be a thing? 316 00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:45.359 Oh? Come on, this is Apple, Come on, still going to 317 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:51.319 be of course, they need to delineate their products, which are far superior 318 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.799 to everyone else's, And so yes, it will be. And I'm saying 319 00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:59.119 that sarcastically. It will be green blue, but a lot of the issues 320 00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:02.440 that you have with the green blue are all going away, which to me 321 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.519 is a big, big win. Absolutely. And then so now you get 322 00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:08.200 us all excited about all these new features and now we just get to wait 323 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:11.680 because they're not available yet. Yeah, there will be a public beta next 324 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:17.759 month that is for the very adventurous because it could break key functionality on your 325 00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:21.559 phone, so I don't recommend that most people download that. But yeah, 326 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:23.599 you'll be hearing a lot about these features as all the tech folks like myself 327 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:26.680 start to play with them and show them off and all that stuff. But 328 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.240 in the fall you'll be able to access all this stuff. And I bet 329 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.599 for you a tech guy, it's like being a kid in a candy store. 330 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:37.559 Oh, just to be up at Apple and to see the work that 331 00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.960 goes into this and to actually talk with their executives and learn more about these 332 00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:47.640 features. Like kind of from a technical standpoint, it's really really fascinating how 333 00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:49.359 much thought they put into this stuff. Yeah, well, we appreciate you 334 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.160 sharing it with us, and you've got lots more to share coming up this 335 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.880 weekend.

A former General Hospital actor Johnny Wector, will gather in 341 00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.279 downtown LA nearly three weeks after he was shot confronting a group trying to steal 342 00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.160 the catalytic converter from his car. The group is calling on the city to 343 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.720 find the person who shot and killed the actor. They're also offering a twenty 344 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.799 five thousand dollars reward. Eight people with suspected ties to ISIS have been arrested 345 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:37.359 in Los Angeles and several other cities. Immigrations and Customs enforcement arrested the group 346 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.880 from Tajikistan who crossed the US Mexico border illegally last year. They were initially 347 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:47.039 cleared to enter the country after they were vetted by authorities. Federal officials are 348 00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:49.960 now in the process of deporting them. San Francisco has followed the lead of 349 00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:56.440 West Hollywood and Sacramento in declaring itself a sanctuary city for transgender people. The 350 00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.400 resolution declaring San Francisco a Safe Place for those who you are also gender non 351 00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:06.880 conforming, intersex, and two spirit was approved yesterday at five point fifty. 352 00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:11.799 We're gonna be talking with Brett Feldman with usc Street Medicine. They're doing something 353 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:18.079 new and innovative that may actually help helmless people who have severe mental illness. 354 00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.519 Going to be really interested, looking forward to that conversation. Amie's on it, 355 00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:30.079 AMI's on it, Aami's on it, Aamie's on it? What am 356 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:34.079 I on? I'm on the stream, movies, books, sometimes even theater. 357 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.559 But with everything out there, how do you know what to watch? 358 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.200 So I take a lot of recommendations for friends, and I do a little 359 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.480 digging myself and hopefully, hopefully can give you some good recommendations on what to 360 00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.480 spend your time on when you're streaming or watching things and maybe even save you 361 00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:53.720 sometime if it's really bad. This one is not really bad. Uh I 362 00:25:53.799 --> 00:26:00.119 watched The gent A Gentleman in Moscow. What was the name of that Michael 363 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.920 Jackson song Stranger in Moscow? Okay, well, he was sort of a 364 00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.240 stranger in Moscow, but anyway, it's A Gentleman in Moscow. It's on 365 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:12.880 Paramount Plus. The show is based on a novel from twenty sixteen called A 366 00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:18.839 Gentleman in Moscow. This one is starring Ewan McGregor Love Him. He plays 367 00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:26.079 Count Alexander Rostoff and the show, which is again a streaming series, is 368 00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:33.160 set in nineteen twenty two in a post revolutionary Russia. So Count Rostov is 369 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.079 stripped of his title and of his money, so he's kind of like almost 370 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:42.039 royalty, right. They strip him of all that after the war, and 371 00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:47.799 they don't put him in jail, but instead they put him on house arrest 372 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.559 and he's basically sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life. Not 373 00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:56.079 at a house, but at a ritzy hotel in Moscow, so that's where 374 00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.079 he has to live out the rest of his life. He's a prisoner in 375 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:04.559 a really opulent world because it's a really nice hotel that and the world is 376 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:11.359 changing around him, but it's sort of like time stands still inside the hotel 377 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.799 and the Communists are taking hold and continuing to change his way of life. 378 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:22.279 Ewan McGregor is fantastic in this show. You like him immediately, and then 379 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.960 you like him even more as the series progresses, because you know, as 380 00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.480 good stories do, there's character arcs, and there's conflict and that kind of 381 00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:33.799 stuff, and Ewan McGregor's just fantastic. He finds and loses love. He 382 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:38.799 befriends a young girl whose family is staying at the hotel, and that little 383 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:42.400 girl ends up impacting him for the rest of his life. He's, as 384 00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:48.440 I mentioned, he's staunchly civilized in a world that's becoming more and more uncivilized. 385 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:55.240 He creates alliances, he finds enemies, and it's kind of a relaxing 386 00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:57.880 ride. It's not an edge of your seat kind of show, but it's 387 00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:03.599 intriguing and it keeps you engaged episode after episode, and there's only eight episodes, 388 00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:08.319 and it's a beautifully shot series, so visually it's very nice to watch. 389 00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:14.160 The story spans more than thirty years, but the show is just one 390 00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:18.880 season. It was released weekly, but now all of the series has dropped. 391 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:21.480 The finale is out, so you can watch it as you go, 392 00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:23.240 or you can do like I do and binge the thing. Of course, 393 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.279 I was forced to watch it weekly because they were doing it one time a 394 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:32.039 week, and that drives me crazy. But it's called a gentleman in Moscow. 395 00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:33.400 I am on it, and I think you should get on it too. 396 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.759 It's really really a good show. And then, like I said, 397 00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:40.160 you and McGregor is just fantastic. Let's get back to some of the stories 398 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:44.160 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Southern California, Edison is 399 00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:48.960 using drones and helicopters to prevent wildfires. The drones and helicopters will be hovering 400 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.559 over high risk fire areas throughout multiple counties looking for faulty equipment that could start 401 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.359 fires. I see eas Reggie Kumar says the drones will have to comply with 402 00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:03.079 the state's privacy policy. Southern California, as also has strict confidentiality policies and 403 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:08.319 complies with all SAA policies, regulations and restricted air spaces. See says the 404 00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:12.480 drones will take about thirty minutes to an hour to complete inspections. Drones will 405 00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:15.640 be used through the end of fire season this fall, and shooting them down 406 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:21.359 is illegal. Chris Adler K Fine News. A judge in LA has approved 407 00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:25.720 a tentative one hundred thousand dollars settlement for the four year old son of an 408 00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.279 Almonte police officer who was killed in a shooting in twenty twenty two. Two 409 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.119 officers had responded to a reported stabbing at a motel when they were fatally shot. 410 00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:40.400 The judge approved a similar settlement on Friday on behalf of the boys eleven 411 00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:45.240 year old sister. The San Bernardino County sheriff is urging state lawmakers to cancel 412 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:49.400 so called poison pill amendments to public safety bills. The expected amendments would nullify 413 00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:53.920 several retail theft bills. If voters pass a measure to repeal Prop forty seven, 414 00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:59.359 Sheriff Shannondika says both the measure and bills would help police. He says 415 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.119 it's not just organized retail theft affecting his county, but also simple shopliftings. 416 00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.759 These persons may receive a citation. For instance, the problem is is a 417 00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:10.559 right back out in the streets, and we hear from our retailers that the 418 00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:15.000 same people are coming in within hours. Democratic lawmakers say the amendments are being 419 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.000 added because there would be conflicts with both sets of laws passing Bloke Trolli kaf 420 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:25.200 I news. Lawmakers in California are rethinking a plan to charge digital companies for 421 00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:29.319 using news content. The plan was to get Google, Facebook, and others 422 00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:33.920 to pay news outlets based on the impressions that they got, but that plan 423 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.480 is being scrapped. A new plan being considered would charge a fee based on 424 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:42.640 how many journalists a news outlet employees. Google and other big tech companies have 425 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:48.359 said that they would stop providing news content to users in California if the original 426 00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:56.720 plan became law. Animal shelters in la are adjusting some policies after a staff 427 00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.279 member was mauled by a dog last month. Officials say the city is getting 428 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:03.839 rid of a so called red list for animals that need immediate adoption because they're 429 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:08.839 in danger of being euthanized and will replace it with a needs rescue list for 430 00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:14.240 animals who are not only at risk of being euthanized, but are also might 431 00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:18.119 be suffering. Rescue groups will still be able to take animals on the euthanasia 432 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:25.079 list. Oh goodie. More places where you can get advertising. United Airlines 433 00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:30.279 customers are going to soon see ads specifically targeted to them on their seat back 434 00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:34.319 screen. The airline has announced its selling ads using customer data, which will 435 00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:41.200 create personalized advertising. The Chicago based carrier has ad deals with brands like Norwegian 436 00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:47.039 Cruise Line, Macy's, and Chase. That'll be interesting. So I guess 437 00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:48.440 it's going to be like Facebook, but on the back of your seat on 438 00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:55.319 an airline. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says mediators are going to continue 439 00:31:55.319 --> 00:32:00.880 to try to close this deal. After Hamas asked for changes to a ceasefire 440 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:04.599 plan for now, Blincoln said the war in Gaza will go on because of 441 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.400 the numerous changes proposed by Hamas. He said some of them are workable, 442 00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:13.880 some are not. Inflation numbers are just out. The consumer price Index has 443 00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.720 shown a slight slowdown in the rate of inflation. It's at three point three 444 00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:22.640 percent year over year. That's down slightly from last month. Could be assigned 445 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:27.559 inflation as slowing after increasing at a three point four percent year over year rate 446 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.279 for the last couple of months. The LA City Council today is expected to 447 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:36.519 designate the house that once belonged to Marilyn Monroe in Brentwood as an historic cultural 448 00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:40.160 monument. Efforts have been going on for months after the property owners got a 449 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:45.359 permit to demolish it to expand their current home, which is adjacent to the 450 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:49.319 property. We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning. What 451 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:53.839 does Chikida have to do with a terrorist organization in Columbia? Bill's going to 452 00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:59.039 tell you right now. Let's say good morning to the director and co founder 453 00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:04.599 of usc ST Medicine, Brett Feldman. Good morning, Brett, Good morning. 454 00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:08.759 So I saw this story and was very intrigued and wanted to talk to 455 00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:15.599 you because you are doing something pretty new and innovative that may actually provide some 456 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:21.839 more long term help to homeless people in LA who are suffering from mental illness. 457 00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:25.960 Can you tell us about the program that you're now doing. Sure, 458 00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:32.119 yes, we do street Medicine, which is the idea that people experiencing unsheltered 459 00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:37.400 homelessness can access healthcare the way the rest of us do. And so we 460 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:42.440 go to them in a very assertive way to deliver care under the bridges and 461 00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:47.279 the river beds, behind the dumpster wherever they are, with love and also 462 00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:51.839 the same quality that you'd expect in a brick and mortar clinic. Okay, 463 00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:53.519 And so you go and seek them out, they don't come to you, 464 00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:58.640 Yes, that's right. Okay. And how many people are on Do you 465 00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:02.319 have a team of people is it just you and one other person? Oh? 466 00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:07.079 Yeah, We we have a team that's made up well, we have 467 00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:13.840 five full time teams that go out every day. Each team has either a 468 00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:20.519 doctor or a physician assistant, a nurse practitioner who can actually not just prescribe 469 00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:23.840 medications, but dispense them while we're on the street with the people. A 470 00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:30.320 nurse, two community health workers who are people with lived experience and homelessness to 471 00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:34.360 act as our street guide to make sure we don't lose people and and track 472 00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:37.360 them as they, you know, move around the city. And we have 473 00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:43.840 social workers, a psychiatrist, an HIV specialist, and care coordinators. Okay. 474 00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.440 So then once you've treated somebody. If I'm hearing it correctly, because 475 00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:50.760 you probably out there with your iPads and stuff, you can you take their 476 00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.519 information down and then you know, when you run into them again, you 477 00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:57.239 can say, oh, we treated you for this last month, or how 478 00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:00.280 are you doing with you know what we you were dealing with? Then? 479 00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:06.440 Is that correct? Yeah? So the kind of optics of it are We 480 00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:12.920 don't use a mobile van because we want to be able to suspend our reality 481 00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:16.039 and meet them in their reality where they feel most comfortable in their environment. 482 00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:22.360 So we have pickup trucks and backpacks and go out on foot and see them 483 00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:29.440 where they live. We sign them up as patients of USC just like any 484 00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:32.880 other patient, so in their medical record you would never know that the visit 485 00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.000 was done under a bridge. And we also know that healthcare is more than 486 00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.599 an office, is it, even if that office is under the bridge, 487 00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:45.519 So we bring them other things that they can't access, such as medications. 488 00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:52.760 We draw labs in the field, do ultrasounds. Everything is done outside on 489 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:54.920 the street where that's the only way we know for sure that they'll be able 490 00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:59.440 to get it okay. And one of the things that you guys now are 491 00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.199 doing is there. As we know, there are a lot of people on 492 00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:07.559 the streets who have pretty severe mental illness, and one of the ways to 493 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:13.519 treat that is with medications. But taking a daily bill for someone who's a 494 00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.280 pill who's living on the street can be challenging, and so you guys have 495 00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:22.199 come up with a workaround that seems to be really working. Yeah, So 496 00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:29.280 we know that about thirty percent of people who are unsheltered experience a severe mental 497 00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:37.400 illness, and in like really kind of a mean twist, the people who 498 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:42.679 are most severe mental illness are least likely to be able to access our very 499 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:49.559 complicated system. And so we know that we can't wait for beds because beds 500 00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:53.239 aren't opening up quick enough, and so we've made the decision that rather than 501 00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:58.039 wait and allow people to suffer on the street, we would just begin treatment 502 00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:05.119 where they are. We started years ago doing this with the pills, but 503 00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:08.960 when you live outside, especially with severe mental illness, pills get lost and 504 00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:15.840 stolen, degraded by the elements, all kinds of things happened to them. 505 00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:21.239 So in the last few years they came out with long acting injectable antipsychotics. 506 00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:27.400 So we will begin with a few days of oral pills to make sure that 507 00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:32.199 they tolerate it well. And we actually do what's called direct observed therapies who 508 00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:37.559 will come out every day and actually give them the pill and then switch them 509 00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:42.159 to these long acting injectibles where we give one injection. It can last one 510 00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:46.119 month or three months. It's never lost or stolen or degraded. We give 511 00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:51.880 it to them and it's in there. And we've just seen really tremendous results 512 00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:55.440 with it. People are able to get organized enough to complete housing paperwork, 513 00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:04.280 seek employment, and and it's really been astonishing to watch. And so it's 514 00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:09.360 actually helping people get off the street because they're able to function. Yes, 515 00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:15.239 yep, because when when you're scared, things like hostess, you know, 516 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:21.000 even just things like about they meet me at your encampment. All you have 517 00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:23.639 to do is not leave on Tuesday. I'll come see you, But they 518 00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:29.840 don't remember when Tuesday is. Then they're out and about doing things or even 519 00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:32.760 like giving me things that that we need to get them into housing, like 520 00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:39.719 remembering maybe their Social Security number, going to the DMV to get their ID 521 00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:45.079 so that we can complete their housing paperwork. None of these things might have 522 00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:49.519 been possible before that that's pretty amazing, and especially like you said, I 523 00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:53.760 didn't realize that you had the some of the injectibles in available that last up 524 00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:58.199 to three months. And then, as you were saying, once you have 525 00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:01.840 them and you're treating them, then you follow along, so you're not like 526 00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:06.360 you don't run into somebody that you're not familiar with and maybe give them a 527 00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:10.559 double dose or something like that because you're tracking everything. Yes, they've become 528 00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:15.199 patients of ours, just like you and I have have a doctor that followed 529 00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:20.280 us. Okay, really interesting stuff.

Let's get back 541 00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:07.360 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 542 00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:13.360 Eight people from Tajikistan have been arrested in the US for having suspected ties to 543 00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:17.320 ISIS. ICE officials say the arrests happen in New York, Philadelphia and in 544 00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:22.920 Los Angeles. They say there was no active terror plot. The Feds were 545 00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:27.440 reportedly tipped off through a wiretap after the eight crossed the border. They're all 546 00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:31.039 facing immigration charges, but there's not enough evidence for terrorism charges, apparently. 547 00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:37.239 A new report says the Department of Homeland Security lacks the technology and coordination for 548 00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:40.719 screening asylum seekers coming into the US. The Inspector General report found that quote 549 00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:45.760 until the Department addresses these challenges, it will quote remain at risk of admitting 550 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:52.199 dangerous persons into the country. ABC's j o'brien's's US Citizenship and Immigration Services, 551 00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:59.159 which vets asylum seekers, says it does biographic and other screenings. Amazon's hit 552 00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:04.119 series The Boys is set to end with its fifth season.

The series takes place in a world where a superhero corporation 555 00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:17.039 runs the world and follows a group of humans whose lives have been ruined by 556 00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:24.000 heroes.
