WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:15.560 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:27.719 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. Good 4 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.920 morning. It's five o'clock, straight up. This is your wake up call 5 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.679 for Wednesday, May first. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Good 6 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:40.200 morning. I'm Amy King. So glad you're choosing to start your day with 7 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.000 us. I know handle makes fun of me when I say this, but 8 00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:47.679 oh boy, we've got a lot going on and things got a little out 9 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.759 of control overnight. You know, we've got protests going, protests going pretty 10 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.840 much coast to coast, So let's get started. Here's what's a head on 11 00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.000 wake up call. Police in riot gear are on the campus of UCLA as 12 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:04.879 Palestinian protesters and counter protesters clash. The two sides got into it late last 13 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:11.519 night when counter protesters went into the pro Palestinian encampment. UCLA had warned students 14 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.719 earlier in the day that the gathering was unlawful and students could be disciplined. 15 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.640 We've got Blake trolley on scene. We'll be checking in with him in just 16 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.560 a minute. Police in New York have gone on to the campus of Columbia 17 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:29.920 University to clear out the building taken over by pro Palestinian protesters. The NYPD 18 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.959 went in after university officials finally asked for help. Officers took more than two 19 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.719 hundred protesters away in buses and also cleared out the encampment. USC officials are 20 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:45.280 investigating the discovery of a swastika drawn on the outskirts of campus. USC President 21 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.640 Carol Folt responded, saying she condemns any anti Semitic symbols or any form of 22 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:55.159 hate speech against anyone. We're going to be checking in with ABC's Peter Shara 23 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.480 Lambus to get the view from inside the Trump trial courtroom. That's in about 24 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.000 five minutes. Rich Damiro's coming up at five point twenty. He's tested out 25 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:06.519 that new Starlink satellite system. You know they've been launching all those satellites. 26 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.240 He says. There's an app also that you must download before you go on 27 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.840 your next vacation. And the Dodgers game last night was delayed by bees of 28 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:22.680 all things. Let's get started with kfi's Blake Trolley. He's on the campus 29 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.680 of UCLA. Blake, give us the latest on what's going on, because 30 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.319 it was not a quiet night. No, it was not a quiet night. 31 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.719 And all of this violence started at about eleven pm last night, when, 32 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:38.120 as you mentioned their Amy counter protesters started dismantling the barrier from the pro 33 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:44.199 Palestinian camp. We saw fireworks fired at the line of those plywood those plywood 34 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.680 boards that were put up by the Pro Palestinian supporters to form a barricade around 35 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:53.960 their tent encampment, and fights broke out. Many of these fights were sporadic. 36 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:58.400 We saw people throwing punches, we saw bear spray, pepper spray being 37 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.680 deployed, and a lot of it was very random. Police as of right 38 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:08.439 now have formed a pretty healthy barrier between the protesters and the counter protesters. 39 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:15.039 Law enforcement agencies that we've counted at this point are three. You've got the 40 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.240 LAPD, which has arrived on campus to help with campus PD. The CHP 41 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.000 has also been called in. So you see officers in both khaki and black 42 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.560 forming this barricade, which includes officers in REI gear and fences that they have 43 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.759 set up. And just in the last ten minutes, Amy more than twenty 44 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:38.080 at least more than twenty LA County Sheriff's vehicles have arrived here on campus. 45 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:44.680 Okay, well that could be an interesting development because I've been watching some of 46 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:51.719 the video from overnight and you've been watching it. Are they just sporadic like 47 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.639 you said, they sporadically break out like the two sides are apart, and 48 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.960 then they just do they start yelling at each other first and then go at 49 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.000 each other. What are they doing? It looked like to me from the 50 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.680 video that I was able to interpret from eleven PM last night, was that 51 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:11.680 again counter protesters rushed to the line started dismantling the boards. I saw at 52 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:16.000 least one firework fired at those boards. So this was fire towards the pro 53 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.040 Palestinian camp and then out in the lawn, if you will, that would 54 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:26.399 essentially separate the two camps. That's where we started seeing those sporadic fights. 55 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.199 Now, this morning, about three forty four AM, I saw a fight 56 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.639 almost break out, and I would imagine that's how a lot of this violence 57 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.639 broke break you know broke out, is that it starts with a lot of 58 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:43.879 yelling and I saw one instance already this morning. It's being here almost turn 59 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.839 into a fight. It was a lot of yelling back and forth, arguing 60 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:53.600 about the conflict in the Middle East right now, and that specific instance did 61 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.959 not become a fight. But I believe that's I'm guessing that's how you know, 62 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.000 all of this started. I did speak to one student I want to 63 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.600 go to this amy. He said he got off work about midnight, showed 64 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:09.480 up to campus, and here's what he saw through his eyes. What did 65 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.639 you see? I mean, as far as like violence went. I know, 66 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.560 there were some pretty violent clashes we're hearing. What did you witness when 67 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.879 you got onto campus? I just witnessed a bunch of students rushing towards the 68 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:26.800 barricades where the Palestinian students were at and they were just taking you know, 69 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.199 wood out, and they were throwing pepper spray, throwing water bottles. I 70 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.519 heard that they were throwing fireworks as well. So I don't know, you 71 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.439 didn't see that. You just saw the pepper spray and the water bottles. 72 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:40.120 See the pepper spray, yeah, and the bottles, But can you describe 73 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.839 the pepper spray, describe the water bottles for it? Yeah, it was 74 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:47.959 just just multiple water bottles and just people you know, getting into like close 75 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:54.360 range and just hitting people violently and just making people like like nothing, as 76 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.639 if they were just public number one enemy. And like I said, it's 77 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.480 just sad seeing it over all, and I wish our school could come to 78 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.800 a conclusion we've heard, and that conclusion could come soon here Amy. You 79 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:12.600 know, as this protest has grown more violent, this encampment was declared unlawful, 80 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.600 and I heard you mentioned that students have been threatened with discipline, and 81 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.480 people who are not students who are taking part in this encampment have also been 82 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.560 threatened, but not just with discipline through the school, but discipline through the 83 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:28.480 legal system, as the school has said that those people, people who are 84 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.399 not part of the university but that are taking part in this encampment could be 85 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:36.120 charged criminally. Okay, And just one last question, Blake, you said 86 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.759 the people who are not students. We've been hearing that the students are saying 87 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.240 the counter protesters that showed up last night are really not students. Do we 88 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.680 know that or not? The only thing I can say is that I believe 89 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.920 I was interviewing some counter protesters earlier this morning, and I had asked one 90 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.800 of them argue a student here, and he said no comment. He wouldn't 91 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.160 answer the question. So that could very well support the narrative. But that 92 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.319 said, I would have to you know, interview a lot more and really 93 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.279 vet them out to see, you know, who's a student who's not. 94 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.160 But when I got here on the ground, I did walk towards some counter 95 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.319 protesters who would not answer whether or not they were students. Okay, so 96 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:23.000 LAPD's on scene, CHP is on scene, and now an additional contingent of 97 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.360 La County Sheriff's deputies have arrived. We're going to watch this one closely and 98 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.959 check in with you in just a few minutes. Thank you, Blake trolling. 99 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.560 All right, thank you, Amy, And now let's turn our attention 100 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:38.399 to New York and say good morning to ABC's Peter sharl lamboos. Good morning, 101 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.480 Peter, good morning, thanks for having me. Well, thanks for 102 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:47.160 coming on. We've got a day off in court. But right out of 103 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.480 the gate, let's talk about yesterday the judge ruled in the Trump hush money 104 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.759 trial that Donald Trump had violated a gag order. What did he do? 105 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.839 Yeah, So the judge finally came down with this ruling about whether not Donald 106 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.040 Trump violated the Gag Order, finding that on nine separate occasions, Donald Trump 107 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.800 blatantly violated disorder. He find Trump nine thousand dollars, and he warned Trump 108 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.040 that any future violations of the order could land him in prison. Now that's 109 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.319 a possibility we've seen discussed by Secret Service officials here in New York, according 110 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.399 to sources familiar with matter, how exactly a short term confinement of the former 111 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.839 president would work. And we also have a separate here in tomorrow on Thursday 112 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.439 morning, where Judgementshawan will consider four additional alleged violations of the Gag Order the 113 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.879 Trump made prosecutors only want to find in this instance, they warned that they 114 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.080 think Trump might actually be angling for prison. I think it's important to note 115 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.440 that in the past Trump has compared himself to a modern day Nelson Mandela when 116 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.039 it comes to the SKAG Order. So we'll really have to see over the 117 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:50.120 coming weeks and days how Donald Trump adjusts his tone, adjusts his tone if 118 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.279 he avoids violating the Skag Order, or if he get again does it and 119 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.360 risks actual prison time. So we'll just have to wait and see. We 120 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.720 did see that he did pull down some of the posts that he got in 121 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.039 trouble for yesterday. So maybe he Yeah, that's right, he's heeding the 122 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.759 judges warning. Yeah, so he did follow that part of the order. 123 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.960 He took down the post by two fifteen pm. That's when he was ordered 124 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.039 to do it by yesterday. He is until Friday close of business to pay 125 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.320 the actual fines themselves, and then we'll see what the judge does tomorrow. 126 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.759 The last time we had a hearing on this criminal contempt issue, the judge 127 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.600 got very heated at Trump's lawyers, saying they'd lost all credibility. We'll see 128 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.440 tomorrow the judge schedule the significantly shorter hearing. Testimony is set to resume it 129 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.919 excuse me, at ten am here in New York. Okay, So we 130 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.759 got the gag thing, the gag thing, the gag order out of the 131 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:45.000 way. Who was on the stand yesterday, And did we get any really 132 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:50.240 interesting information? Yeah, I guess yesterday was a surprisingly consequential day in terms 133 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.559 of testimony. We began with Michael Cohen's banker, who detailed that Cohen kind 134 00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:00.240 of evaded some reviews in order to speed up making that hush money he pave 135 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.679 into Stormy Daniels. We heard from two custodial witnesses. These are people who 136 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.600 have to come into court to verify that evidence is authentic because Donald Trump's lawyers 137 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:13.360 were refusing to stipulate the certain things. But through these witnesses, the jurors 138 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.120 actually got to watch videos of Trump in twenty sixteen making campaign speeches saying that 139 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.039 all the people who are coming out, the women who are alledging things against 140 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.759 him, are wrong, that they're just trying to hurt his campaign, and 141 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.080 that that's actually cost him the election. That's going towards the fear that prosecutors 142 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:33.639 say motivated to crimes. And last we heard from Stormy daniels lawyer who detailed 143 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:39.519 that Michael Cohen essentially tried to delay the payment for Stormy Daniels until after the 144 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.360 election. What was notable though, with all of yesterday's testimony was that Donald 145 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.679 Trump had company in court for the first time. His son Eric Trump showed 146 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.519 up in court for the entire day. That was the first time we saw 147 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.519 a Trump family member in court for the former president. So when they show 148 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.720 up, they're not sitting at the at the table with him. Are they 149 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.440 just in the gallery? Yeah, they're just sitting at So Eric sat along 150 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.600 with a few other folks, for example, an RNC official, the Attorney 151 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.399 General, and Texts also showed up. They sat in the first row of 152 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.720 the gallery. What was interesting, though, was at the start of the 153 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:16.840 proceedings, I could see Eric leaning over the barrier that separates the actual gallery 154 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.679 for the public from the well where the lawyers sit, leaning over to huddle 155 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.120 with his father and talk. Right before the proceedings began, I could see 156 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.360 Eric Trump pat his father on the back as Donald Trump walks back to council 157 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:33.120 table, just minutes before the proceedings actually began. Though, by the end 158 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.320 of the day, Donald Trump kind of looked exhausted. He seemed focused on 159 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.360 the matter at hand, railing against the case in the hallway, paying a 160 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.240 little less attention to Eric than he did at the start of the day. 161 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:48.840 Okay, so one question before I let you go. Before Trump went into 162 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.440 court yesterday, he said he was headed into the ice box, and as 163 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:58.080 you and I have discussed, it was super super cold in the courtroom, 164 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.440 and I heard a commentator make fun of him for complaining about the cold, 165 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.960 but you said it actually was pretty frigid in there. Is it warming up 166 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.960 at all. So interestingly enough, a few reporters are actually bringing in thermometers 167 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:15.679 into the courtroom to test this claim. So in this at the start of 168 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.799 the day, it was cold, I will I will tell you. I 169 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.399 will say that. I mean I was wearing a wool suit blazer and I 170 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.919 was still a bit frigid. I think the temperature clocks in around seventy degrees 171 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.080 with fifty one percent relative humidity, if you want that information. But by 172 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:35.360 the end of the day, the entire courtroom was relatively toasty, essentially from 173 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.840 having all those people in the courtroom without air conditioning. The courtroom had gotten 174 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.200 close to eighty degrees by the afternoon. So Donald Trump's complaint in terms of 175 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.279 this courtroom being freezing cold is fair in the morning, not accurate at night. 176 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.799 Trump has suggested that they're not turning on the heat to mess with him. 177 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.600 I think it's important to note that the judge has said that the reason 178 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.720 they're not turning on the heat is because the heat control in this very old 179 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.960 court house it's kind of uncontrollable, and they'd rather it be cold than ninety 180 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.360 degrees in everyone's sweating, So you know, there is a reason behind this, 181 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.480 but it's Donald Trump's favorite complaints about this trial. It appears, of 182 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.440 course, Okay, I think it's hysterical that people are bringing thermometers in with 183 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:18.159 them. Peter, thank you so much for the time and the information, 184 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.519 and we look forward to hearing more as this trial goes on. Thanks again, 185 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.080 have a good one. All right, Let's get back to some of 186 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.480 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man in 187 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:31.279 Orange County has been convicted of killing four men in a plot to take over 188 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.639 a two million dollars a year heroin Operation role. Flores took extreme pleasure in 189 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.399 tearing out these murders for a couple thousand dollars. One kind of the Eight. 190 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.679 Spokeswoman kivererly Ed says three bodies were found in front of a high school 191 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.879 in a burning car, shot stabbed, mouse stuff taped, their hands bound. 192 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.840 The last moments of their lives were absolutely agonizing. She says, Flores 193 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.559 and others had ties to the Sinaloa cartel and wanted to send a message. 194 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.600 In twenty fifteen, so recorded themselves laughing as they shot the fourth man and 195 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.559 watched him bleed to death. Flores was convicted Monday. Sentencing is set for 196 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.080 July in Orange County. Corbin Carson KFI News. Massive rallies are planned for 197 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:13.080 today in Hollywood, Downtown, LA, and Boyle Heights to mark International Workers 198 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.679 Day, also known as May Day. One of the biggest will start at 199 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:20.799 two o'clock this afternoon at Sunset Boulevard Boulevard and Gower Street, with a march 200 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.440 after that. Another demonstration is planned for four point thirty at MacArthur Park. 201 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.919 After that, demonstrator's plan too marched to the USC campus to support the pro 202 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:35.240 Palestinian encampment there. It wasn't a rain delay, but a bee delay in 203 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.279 the desert. The Dodgers Arizona Diamondbacks game was delayed by almost two hours last 204 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.399 night because a swarm of bees settled in on the top of the protective netting 205 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.120 behind home plate. It took about an hour for a bee keeper to get 206 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.960 there. He was scissor lifted up to the swarm. He safely removed the 207 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.399 bees and then pumped his fists to the cheering crowd as he was lowered back 208 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.480 to the field. The game was delayed for nearly nine minutes ninety minutes because 209 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.840 of the bees, and then the players were given another thirty minutes to loosen 210 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.960 back up before the first pitch was thrown. Pro Palestinian protesters and pro Israel 211 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.799 protesters have been getting in fistfights, shoving, kicking, and using sticks to 212 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.840 beat each other up through the night on the campus of UCLA. LAPD, 213 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.639 the CHP, and now the La County Sheriff's Department are on site. On 214 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.600 the other side of the country, police and right Gear cleared out a building 215 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:30.320 taken over by protesters and also cleared an encampment at Columbia University. More than 216 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.440 two hundred people were taken away in buses. Eighteen people have been taken to 217 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:39.960 hospitals after an LA Metro train and a USC bus collided near campus in Exhibition 218 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.600 or Exposition Park. It happened just before noon yesterday. Two bus passengers have 219 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.080 serious injuries. A rare white orca has been spotted off the coast of Orange 220 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.879 County. Whale watchers say the white calf is part of a pod of killer 221 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.399 whales seen near Newport Beach. The whales migrating up from Mexico appear to be 222 00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:02.600 the same pod that spent months dining in Sokow Water's last spring instead of continuing 223 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:04.960 on north to Alaska for the summer. At six o five its handle on 224 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.960 the news, Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in the Middle East to pull 225 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.360 the or put the full court press on Hamas to accept a ceasefire deal. 226 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.919 Right now, let's say good morning to the host of Rich on tech here 227 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:22.639 on KFI KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro. Rich, cars are spying you. 228 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:27.320 Good morning. Cars are spying on us, and then they're also giving that 229 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:33.000 information away. Yeah, I thought this was pretty interesting. Over at the 230 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.080 LA Sorry New York Times, they talk about how only five out of fourteen 231 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:44.679 automakers require police to obtain a warrant before they turn over a car's location data. 232 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.559 That's really interesting to me because all of these modern cars have the you 233 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.639 know, the insides to kind of track where we're going, and of course 234 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.320 the cellular networks to send that information out and people sort of agree to this 235 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.360 in the terms and conditions when they start their car for the first time and 236 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.759 never realize. So let me go over the automakers automakers that require a warrant 237 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:11.079 before sharing location data with police. General Motors, Honda Ford, Tesla, 238 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:18.680 and Stilantis, and then automakers that do that share location without a judge's approval, 239 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.119 so no subpoena here, Toyota, Nissan, subru Volkswagen, BMW, 240 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.839 Mazda, Mercedes, and Kia, and they can return retain this information for 241 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:36.000 as long as fifteen years, so they can technically they could follow you around. 242 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:41.240 Well technically like if anything happens that involves your car and police say hey, 243 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.480 we need that info, a lot of these automakers just hand it over 244 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.000 without you even knowing, and that's, you know, kind of a big 245 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.000 deal for privacy. I think, yeah, I think, well, I 246 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:55.000 mean it's it's sort of a double edged sword because you think about it, 247 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:59.119 like if police say I need this information because we've got a guy who's kidnapped 248 00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:02.039 a person, and you know, we've got to find them before he kills 249 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:07.720 somebody, you'll just feel like, okay in that sense, okay to hand 250 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.920 it over. But just knowing that they will hand it over any old time, 251 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.240 or could hand it over any old time, is a little unsettling. 252 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.279 Yeah, And I think that's what we saw with Ring because you know, 253 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.759 the video doorbell company, they were handing over stuff you know, sometimes it 254 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.200 was a warrant, sometimes there wasn't. And now you know, they've kind 255 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.440 of tightened their procedure to say there's going to you know, you need a 256 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.960 warrant. But in the situations you're talking about where someone's life is at stake 257 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.759 or it is a you know, dire situation, of course they will hand 258 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.720 over that information immediately without a request. But you know, obviously there's always 259 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:47.359 a gray area here. You know, various people think different things about this 260 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:48.920 stuff. Yeah, okay, so it's better to know it, yeah, 261 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.039 absolutely, though you can't really do anything about it, at least, you 262 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:57.559 know, don't don't drive your car. Okay. So we've been seeing and 263 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:03.279 hearing about SpaceX all those Starlink satellites and they want to create this whole network 264 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.680 and you tried it out because they has a network actually works really well. 265 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:12.519 So I took a Hawaiian airline's flight to Honolulu. They are the pretty much 266 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:18.039 the first major carrier to outfit their planes with Starlink, and it works as 267 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:22.440 advertised. You get on the plane, the connection is immediate, it's free, 268 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.640 there's no signing process. They've made it very very easy for customers to 269 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.079 get on board and just get on Wi Fi. And the Wi Fi is 270 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:36.960 amy really good, Like it's like basically it feels like an extension of the 271 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:38.640 Wi Fi at your house. So anything you could do at your home, 272 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:45.039 whether that is you know, stream Netflix. I tried to peloton streaming workout 273 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.000 even though I didn't have my bike with me. You did a peloton workout 274 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.880 without working out? Well, yeah, I just wanted to see just for 275 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.319 just for fun. Why not, right, you know, you never know 276 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.160 in the future, maybe get in the back in that little galley and you 277 00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:02.599 know, do a workout. I tried uploading and downloading large files like I'm 278 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:06.319 talking about a gigabyte each and I'm not kidding. I was able to download 279 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:10.440 an entire movie before takeoff. But here's the thing, there's no need with 280 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:12.119 this sort of system to plan ahead. You know, every time we go 281 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:15.440 on a plane you have to think about, oh, let me download stuff 282 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:19.599 or beholden to the inflight entertainment system. This is now a whole new realm 283 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:23.759 of like no, you pretty much can work as you do on the ground 284 00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.680 up in the air, and it was amazing. Okay, and there are 285 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:32.359 plans I'm guessing for other airlines to join on or is just is this sort 286 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.119 of a test run. No, this is not a test run for Hawaiian. 287 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.599 They're they're involved in this. The other airlines, we haven't really seen 288 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:41.920 a huge you know, push for this, but you know they all have 289 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:48.880 Wi Fi. It's just really slow. But Delta apparently is maybe testing this. 290 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.920 Okay, so we'll be watching. But if you're flying Hawaiian you can 291 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.000 watch. You could do a virtual workout without ever moving. Yes, they 292 00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:03.480 do ban like voice calls, video call and obscene you know website good. 293 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:08.000 I hope they never allow phone calls on airplanes. And then if you are 294 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:12.880 going on vacation, you say, there is an app that you absolutely must 295 00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:18.160 get. Yeah, so I love these apps that are sort of like an 296 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.839 audio tour guide because yes, of course, having a human leading you around 297 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.279 is always the best way to explore a new place, right, But not 298 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.960 everyone can afford that. Not everyone has time for that. Maybe you just 299 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.839 have a couple hours between a meeting or something when you're in a new city. 300 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.920 So this is called Shaka Guide Sahaka Shaka you know is based in Hawaii, 301 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.000 so it's kind of like hang loose with us. They've been doing this 302 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.240 for eight years over in Hawaii. So this is a an app that turns 303 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.839 your smartphone into an audio guided GPS tour. So you fire up the tour 304 00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:52.799 on your phone, you drive around and it will, you know, tell 305 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.359 you about the places that you're passing. They also have some walking tours. 306 00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:02.359 But the big news is that they've ex banded into the mainland as they call 307 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.440 the US here right when you're over there, So now they've got national parks 308 00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:10.920 and also scenic drives here in the US. So bottom line is Shaka Guide 309 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:14.880 is great. Check it out. Tour start at ten dollars. But at 310 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.119 the same time, there are some other apps as well. I'm going to 311 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.519 link them up on my website that I've used that I also like. But 312 00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:22.880 I just think in general, if you're going to a place, do some 313 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:27.200 sort of guided tour because it really does help you understand that place and you 314 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.359 come back with like this great new knowledge. I love that, Okay, 315 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:36.880 And it's called Shaka Shaka. Got more great tech talk. You can listen 316 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:44.119 to Rich right here on KFI eleven to two on Saturdays. It's called Rich 317 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:48.559 on Tech. Very inventive name. Huh, thank you. I think Amy, 318 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.319 I think you should do the voice for one of these guides. Okay, 319 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:53.839 I mean you know you already do don't you do waves already? I 320 00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:56.680 do? I do do ways so I can get you places. I just 321 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:02.480 can't tell you anything about it. Maybe they should add that feature. Interesting. 322 00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:04.160 I like it. Hey. You can follow Rich on Instagram at rich 323 00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:07.519 on Tech, his website rich on tech dot tv. Thank you, Rich 324 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:12.960 Demiro all right BYEBTE. Fights have broken out between protesters and counter protesters when 325 00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:18.400 a group wearing black with white masks broke through walls around the pro Palestinian encampment 326 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:23.920 outside Royce Hall on UCLA's campus overnight. Pepper spray bear spray sticks were all 327 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:30.640 used as the two sides clashed. LAPD, the CHP and LA Kenny Sheriff's 328 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.519 Deputies are now on scene. A high speed chase through downtown LA has left 329 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:38.039 a trail of destructions. Officers started chasing the suv with up to five people 330 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:42.279 inside yesterday afternoon. During the chase, the driver drove the wrong way down 331 00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:48.480 one way streets and sideswiped several cars as he tried to squeeze through rush hour 332 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.559 traffic. The chase ended when the suv crashed into another car. People inside 333 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:56.680 the suv tried to run off. At least two have been arrested. California's 334 00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.119 population has grown by over sixty seven thousand. The State Department of Find and 335 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.960 says last year was the first year California's population has grown since the pandemic. 336 00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:10.039 More than thirty nine million people now live in California. I wonder there's no 337 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.000 room to move. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. 338 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.519 A judge has held Donald Trump in contempt of court, but says he thinks 339 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.039 that might not go far enough. Bill's gonna have the latest on that. 340 00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:23.440 At five point fifty. The weather keeps heating up, which means wildfire risk 341 00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:26.440 is going up. We'll tell you what you can do now to keep your 342 00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:32.359 home safe this summer. Kfi's Blake trolley is at UCLA, where as I 343 00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:36.480 just mentioned, fights have been breaking out all night between pro Palestinian protesters and 344 00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:40.200 counter protesters. Blake, what's the latest, Well, well, I can 345 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.160 tell you right now, Amy, is that tensions have really cooled here, 346 00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:48.279 and I think that's largely due to the large law enforcement presence that has embarked 347 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:53.039 on UCLA's campus. As we talked about at five am. Prior to about 348 00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:57.599 five am, the only two agencies that were here assisting with university police were 349 00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:03.200 the CHP and LA that was a large presence in its own and then, 350 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:06.119 as we mentioned at the top of the hour, at about five am, 351 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:11.559 a large contingent of La County Sheriff's vehicles made their way onto UCLA's campus. 352 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:17.319 This was well over twenty sheriffs vehicles. They have Sence Park, they are 353 00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:22.960 staged on campus and police who initially showed up in riot gear at this point 354 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.920 have removed some of that riot gear. They are standing in the barrier that 355 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:32.119 they set up between the pro Palestinian encampment and the rest of UCLA's campus. 356 00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.680 So they got here. It was very intense when they got here. As 357 00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:41.119 you mentioned, fights had broken out, firefighters or fireworks were set off towards 358 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:47.759 the pro Palestinian encampment. Counter protesters ran towards that encampment tried to dismantle it, 359 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:51.480 and as we mentioned, this led to fights. This led to bear 360 00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:55.359 spray going off, a lot of just kind of short brawls where you saw 361 00:25:55.400 --> 00:26:00.599 people hitting each other, knocking each other over, and this happened for a 362 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:06.119 couple of hours reportedly before police were able to respond. There was some security 363 00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:10.160 on campus, but we're told they were overwhelmed by this and they really just 364 00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:15.440 had to stand back and let this let this take place. And believe you 365 00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:19.799 said that there was a couple hours between when police got there and when the 366 00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:26.279 fight started. That's because, if I'm not mistaken, UCLA has to ask 367 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:30.039 police to come on to campus. Yeah, UCLA has to make that request. 368 00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:34.200 So we're looking into why there was that wait time to get more officers 369 00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:40.359 here, because what we're seeing right now is that it is effective. These 370 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:45.680 officers came in, they set up this barrier between initially the protesters and the 371 00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.039 counter protesters. I believe this is probably because it's now five point thirty in 372 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.680 the morning. All of this started about eleven o'clock last night. I've seen 373 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:57.039 a lot of those counter protesters clear off of campus. They've been walking by 374 00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:02.279 my news truck. I'm seeing exit the campus now. One thing I do 375 00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:07.200 want to point out as well, on the pro Palestinian side, and keep 376 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:10.480 in mind, they are staying intense. When I arrived here about three point 377 00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:14.680 thirty this morning, they were chanting. You could hear them chanting. Those 378 00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.559 chants have grown quieter, so I would assume that they have made their way 379 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.920 into their tents and are probably sleeping at this point after a pretty long night. 380 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:27.119 Yeah. So, and I was watching video earlier from the scene and 381 00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:32.240 was surprised at how many people were still up and moving around at like four 382 00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:33.839 o'clock in the morning. But you're saying that now people are saying, all 383 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.839 right, that's enough, let's go to bed. Yeah, that's the vibe 384 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.920 right now. It really feels like boiling water was kind of taken down to 385 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:45.839 a lukewarm point. But I would imagine that things are going to heat up 386 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.000 again as the day progresses. But that said, this time, law enforcement 387 00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:56.400 is here, multiple agencies here helping with UC police, and they have set 388 00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.000 up a large barrier between the two. Okay, And as we talked to 389 00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:04.440 about earlier, this all started when a group kind of went after the Pro 390 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:10.720 Palestinian encampment and started kicking down their makeshift walls and that kind of thing. 391 00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.319 And yeah, group that's been described as like fifty guys in White Mass ran 392 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.759 towards that barrier that the pro Palestinians had set up. They start removing that 393 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.880 barrier and that's when the violence between the two groups are reps interesting. Okay, 394 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:27.240 and so and you said you've seen a lot of them leaving campus, 395 00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:30.519 so we don't know for sure who is and who isn't, but it doesn't 396 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:34.839 appear that they are students. Well, as we said. You know, 397 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.279 you were saying earlier today that some students are claiming that these counter protesters are 398 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.759 not students. The only group of counter protesters I spoke with, And unfortunately, 399 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.880 now because so many have cleared out, it's going to be harder to 400 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:52.880 get a hold of them or to talk to them. Because these counter protesters 401 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.079 have of largely left, it's hard to get these interviews going again. But 402 00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.480 the first group I tried to speak with right when I got on scene today 403 00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:04.920 would not answer that question. Okay, and so things seem calm now, 404 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:10.240 which is good news. And you're going to be hanging out there to see 405 00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:12.440 if they start heating up again. Yeah, we are going to be here 406 00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:17.400 on scene all morning. I know my colleague will be here also to watch 407 00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:21.359 things as it progresses this afternoon. So okay, if I will be on 408 00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:23.119 scene all day here at UCLA, Blake Trilli, thank you so much, 409 00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:26.799 we'll talk to you again, and not a very long time away from now. 410 00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:30.119 All right, Amy, thank you. Okay, let's get back to 411 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:32.720 some of the other stories coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. 412 00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:36.920 As you know, we just talked with Blake at UCLA. But UCLA isn't 413 00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:45.119 the only place with problems. Arrest and I charged with Dozens of pro Palestinian 414 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:49.680 protesters who took over a building at Columbia University have been arrested and let out 415 00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:55.559 in zip tie handcuffs. The university had asked for help late last night, 416 00:29:55.640 --> 00:30:00.359 and police in riot gear moved in secure. No one else life in the 417 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:06.119 building. The blood is not empty. The only thing that's left is to 418 00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:10.079 tense at their property, and that will all be cleared off by the school. 419 00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:14.279 School officials say they had no choice when they learned Hamilton Hall had been 420 00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:18.519 occupied, vandalized and blockaded. Officers used a ladder to climb through a second 421 00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.559 floor window. One student said it felt more like an escalation than a de 422 00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:27.440 escalation. Police have been asked to stand down at a pro Palestinian protest at 423 00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:33.200 UC Irvine. The pro Palestinian group claims police had been blocking student protesters from 424 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.279 getting water and taking bathroom breaks, similar to the blockade and Gaza. Student 425 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.480 Sarah Khalil says their tuition should not go to support genocide. You're demanding our 426 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.680 university's divests from weapon manufacturers that they are investing in, such as Boeing, 427 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:51.240 Lockheed, Martin Blackrock. Irvine Mayor Fara Khan asked law enforcement on Monday to 428 00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:55.440 stand down, and police officers did not appear to be present yesterday. Concess, 429 00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:59.920 you won't tolerate any violations of student rights to peacefully protest at UC Irvine. 430 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.799 Corbin Carson kf I News. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is meeting with 431 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.799 Israeli leaders to push for a cease fire deal between Israel and Hamas. He 432 00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.920 says the time is now for an agreement that would free hostages and pause the 433 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.440 nearly seven months of war. Blinken has told the families of hostages held in 434 00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.640 Gaza that Hamas also needs to say yes to the deal. Former President Trump 435 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.519 plans to use his day off from court in New York to rally voters in 436 00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.599 Michigan and Wisconsin. Trump has complained about having to sit in court for the 437 00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:29.920 hush money trial, which he says is a scam instead of being at campaign 438 00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.759 events. Trump was found in contempt of court yesterday and threatened with jail time 439 00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:40.200 for violating a gag order. In the case So Long Surcharges. A new 440 00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:45.720 state law makes restaurant surcharges illegal the Attorney General's offices. The law banning so 441 00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:51.599 called junk fees will also apply to the food industry, so starting July first, 442 00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:56.440 all service fees have to be included in menu prices instead of, you 443 00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:59.720 know, showing up on your bill where you don't know there's a charge until 444 00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.440 you get at the bill. Some restaurants say they're worried this could drive people 445 00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:07.599 away and force them to cut worker wages. The junk feeban also applies to 446 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:13.279 concert tickets and hotel rooms. I think that's fabulous. At least one person 447 00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.599 has been hurt in fights that broke out between pro Palestinian protesters and counter protesters 448 00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:22.039 who tried to take down take down in campment walls overnight on the campus of 449 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:27.000 UCLA. There's been shoving and kicking and beating with sticks. Bear and pepper 450 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.039 spray was used. Some fireworks were set off. The clashes came after UCLA 451 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:36.200 told protesters their camp is unlawful and people who don't leave could face disciplinary action. 452 00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:42.359 Drivers in California are paying more at the gas pumps than drivers in any 453 00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.920 other state. Triple A says the average price for a gallon of gas in 454 00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:50.640 California is five point thirty nine a gallon. Triple A says nationally, it's 455 00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:55.720 holding steady at three sixty five a gallon. Several newspaper outlets have sued Microsoft 456 00:32:55.839 --> 00:33:04.119 and open Ai for copyright infringement. Eight newspapers claim open ai has used millions 457 00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:09.000 of their articles without permission to train their AI programs. They say programs like 458 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:15.920 Chat, GPT, and Copilot have incorrectly attributed false reports to the newspapers, 459 00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:21.480 which they say tarnishes their reputation and spreads disinformation. We're just minutes away from 460 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.200 Handle on the news this morning. A lot of business businesses have been going 461 00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:30.960 cashless, but city officials in LA say not so fast. Let's say good 462 00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:37.400 morning now to National Fire Protection Association Wildlife Division Director Michel Steinberg. Good morning, 463 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:43.000 Michelle. Wildfire Preparedness Day is coming up on Saturday. Wildfire season in 464 00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:46.000 California, Well, it's kind of much pretty much year round as the weather 465 00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:52.480 heats up. What is the goal for the National Fire Protection Association for Wildlife 466 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:59.279 Preparedness Day? Right, so, thank you. Wildfire Community Preparedness Day is 467 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.400 the first Saturday in May every year, and our goal is to help people 468 00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:07.640 become aware of what they can do, get together with their neighbors and friends, 469 00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:12.880 and do an activity on the day that helps build community and reduce wildfire 470 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:15.599 risk at the same time. I like the idea of getting together with friends 471 00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:19.760 not only working on protecting your house, but then kind of coming up with 472 00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.639 the plan with the neighborhood and said, hey, if wildfare comes through, 473 00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:27.679 let's all work together. That's right, and it works beautifully because when we 474 00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.559 see fire inter communities, it is going to affect the whole community. It 475 00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:34.840 isn't going to choose out one home to burn, and so it really makes 476 00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:39.159 sense for people to get together as a group and look at those adjacent properties 477 00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:43.400 on where they can do the work to maybe break up the potential for fire 478 00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:45.800 spread. Okay, so let's get down to it. What specifically are some 479 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.480 of the things that people should be doing to protect their homes. Right, 480 00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:53.119 So, we always recommend people start from the home and work their way out 481 00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:57.599 into the landscape so they can take a walk around the home. Make sure 482 00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:00.159 their gutters are clear of any debris. Make sure sure on a deck or 483 00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:06.239 a porch that there isn't anything that could catch ambers, like rattan matts and 484 00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:09.159 things like that. When there's high fire danger, think about where you would 485 00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:15.000 put those patio cushions or other furniture if you had a red flag warning. 486 00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:19.719 Working out into the landscape, make sure there's nothing within about five feet of 487 00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:25.159 your foundation or any attachments that would catch embers. So if you are using 488 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:30.679 some flammable malt or something like that to break that kind of thing out, 489 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:34.039 make sure there's no projects kind of leaning up against the house. And then 490 00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.360 moving into the landscape, thinking about just keeping it lean and green, if 491 00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:43.800 you can, removing any maybe shrubs that didn't make it over the last season, 492 00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:47.159 making sure things are well watered if you have grass, keeping that mode, 493 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.760 and if you're getting into more projects, thinking about some landscaping using rock 494 00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:57.519 or gravel, using hard scaping that could break up the path to a fire. 495 00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:00.760 Okay, and Michelle, you mentioned ambers, and I remember from some 496 00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:06.079 of the recent wildfires that even when the flames aren't close to the house. 497 00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:12.760 When the winds are blowing, those embers can travel a long way away. 498 00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:16.280 That's right. We've seen with these fire conditions with a lot of wind that 499 00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:22.599 embers can travel from the flaming front over a mile, and so that really 500 00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.679 worries people about when that ember lands near or on your home. You don't 501 00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:30.960 want to give it a bid to be able to start igniting. So again, 502 00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:37.159 keeping rooflines and gutters clear of any debris, making sure that the envelope, 503 00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:39.719 you know, the siding and your windows are in good shape, that 504 00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:44.360 nothing can get in there, and then not getting anything really close to your 505 00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:46.960 house that could burnt, catch fire and burn. And as close to your 506 00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:52.199 house is that what you guys consider the home ignition zone. That's exactly right. 507 00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:57.239 So that home ignition zone is your home and everything around it within about 508 00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:00.079 one hundred feet. But again we want people to focused on that close to 509 00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:05.079 the home, within that first five feet is the most critical place. Okay, 510 00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:10.679 And then does wildlife preparedness also include escape plans and acuvation In evacuation plans, 511 00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:16.079 you know, wildfire preparedness can include evacuation planning and escape planning, and 512 00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:21.639 that again is a great thing to work with your neighbors about We know communities 513 00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:24.199 that have done sort of telephone trees to contact each other, make sure they're 514 00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:30.679 helping anybody who might have a disability or otherwise have trouble leaving their home in 515 00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:35.280 a short notice, and just knowing what kind of warning you might be getting, 516 00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:38.199 knowing who your local authorities are, who might order evacuation.

I fear that we're going to 534 00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:59.480 continue in this same downward spiral with dollars being spent without measurable outcomes. Rodriguez 535 00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:01.679 has a new city department would be better to keep track of money and progress. 536 00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:05.960 It would report to the city Council and the Mayor's office.

Hut says she 541 00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:30.440 has no plans to target cash only business businesses. Cash is king, like, 542 00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:34.719 what are we saying? Our Federal Reserve says in God we trust. 543 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:38.440 That's who I trust, not the banking system. The motion is set to 544 00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:43.599 head to the Trade, Travel and Tourism Committee in June before the entire city 545 00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:47.159 Council could vote on it.
