But Rich knows how to find him, and he's going to tell 14 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:17.000 you how to. That's coming up in about twenty minutes. Last night, 15 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:22.840 day two of the Republican National Convention. As you know, I'm obsessed with 16 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.480 these things. Love watching him, love watching the speeches, and I got 17 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.640 to say that I was switching between the channels and Fox was just bad blah 18 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.760 blah blah blah blah, talk talk talk, talk talk, and I was 19 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.239 like, I want to hear the speakers. It's the convention. So then 20 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.840 I was just I had it on CNN most of the evening because CNN was 21 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.959 actually playing most of them, and I thought it was really interesting. I 22 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.239 think the speakers were really interesting. Last night. The theme was make America 23 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:56.359 Safe Again, but maybe it should have been Team of Rivals because they had 24 00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.719 all these people who had run against Trump, Ted Cruz, the Vake, 25 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:08.159 Ramaswami, Marco Rubio, Ron de Santis, Nikki Hayley. They were all 26 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:14.120 on stage throwing their support behind Trump last night. And you know who else 27 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:19.560 was on stage? Sarah Huckabee Standers. She was his press secretary. I 28 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.280 was so impressed with her. She's the mayor or the mayor, she's the 29 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:27.039 governor of Arkansas now, but I just think she was amazing. So if 30 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.280 you want to go back and watch any of the speeches, I highly recommend 31 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.439 Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Wouldn't she be a great first woman president? HM? 32 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.960 Anyway, here's what's ahead on wake up Call SpaceX? Oh my gosh, 33 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.800 I just did a Biden. Anyway, here's what the head on wake up 34 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.599 calls. SpaceX is headed to the lone Star state. Elon Musk has announced 35 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.680 that he's going to move SpaceX headquarters from California to Texas. He says the 36 00:02:54.759 --> 00:03:00.000 reason is the law just signed by Governor Newsom that banned school from telling parents 37 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:05.479 if their child starts using different pronouns in class. Musk set on X that 38 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:09.840 he warned Newsome that laws like this would force families and companies to leave California 39 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:15.919 to protect their children. Iran has denied it's been plotting to kill former President 40 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.360 Trump. US officials say they got intel weeks before the attempted assassination of Trump 41 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:25.120 on Saturday. The warning prompted increased security around the former president as he campaigned 42 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.360 across the country. The Trump team was apparently made aware of the threat. 43 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:36.520 The La Angels are going to be getting nearly three million dollars in a settlement 44 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.240 with the city of Anaheim. A two year long fight was resolved on Monday. 45 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.800 In exchange for the money, the city can build a fire station on 46 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.719 Angels property. An earlier deal that was canceled would have allowed for construction of 47 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:52.439 a new stadium with homes, hotels, shops, and restaurants surrounding it. 48 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.479 At six oh five, it's handle on the news. The temperature is still 49 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.319 up there. A guy with a knife has been shot and killed outside the 50 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.360 RNC. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI 51 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.520 twenty four hour newsroom. Some former foes of former President Trump have called for 52 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:13.400 unity at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Former Ambassador Nikki Hayley told delegates 53 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.480 last night Trump has her strong endorsement. I haven't always agreed with President Trump, 54 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:25.600 but we agree more often than we disagree. She says America would be 55 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.839 worse off with President Biden and Vice President Harris. Texas Senator Ted Cruz, 56 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:35.439 Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and Florida Governor DeSantis also supported Trump. DeSantis said 57 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:40.839 the US cannot afford four more years of a weekend at Bernie's presidency. I 58 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:47.319 am alarmed that the current president of the United States lacks the capability to discharge 59 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.600 the duties of his office. Trump's VP pick JD. Vans is said to 60 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:56.879 speak at the Convention. Tonight. Police in Milwaukee say a twenty one year 61 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.839 old man who was carrying a concealed gun near the perimeter of the Republican National 62 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.959 Convention has been arrested the Department. In US Capitol Police say the man did 63 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.600 not have a legal concealed carry permit and was walking around wearing a ski mask 64 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:15.879 and a tactical backpack. LA has contracted a private security company to patrol Wilmington. 65 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:23.199 We have these security services available from basically eight am until midnight or two 66 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:28.800 am most days, seven days a week. LA City Councilvan Tim McCosker says 67 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.560 security along Avalon Boulevard is crucial to make sure residents, businesses, and visitors 68 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:38.160 feel safe. The city has contracted peak security for two years using money from 69 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:44.240 mccosker's office and the state. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers. 70 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.600 Karen, President Biden was back on the campaign trail yesterday. He said 71 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.720 politics have become too heated, and then he went on the attack. Yeah, 72 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.600 you know, it's an interesting line they're trying to straddle here. He's 73 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:59.759 back on the campaign trail in battleground Nevada yesterday and again today, Yesterday, 74 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.600 he courting black voters at the NAACP convention. Today he is trying to win 75 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:10.199 over Latino voters. And the President acknowledged the assassination attempt on former President Donald 76 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.800 Trump, saying he was grateful that he wasn't seriously injured. And he once 77 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.319 again repeated his call for the temperature to come down in this country, but 78 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:23.879 he did not hold back on the criticism of his political rival. He said, 79 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.160 just because you lower the temperature, that you must lower the temperature, 80 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.879 doesn't mean we should stop telling the truth of who you are, what you've 81 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.560 done, and what you'll do. He was going after him for COVID policies 82 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.839 from four years ago, for his tax cuts. He was talking about the 83 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:45.959 former president's efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act Obamacare, and even was talking 84 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.720 about something that Donald Trump had said last month during their debate when he used 85 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:54.879 that phrase black jobs. The President to this group the NAACP convention said, 86 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.319 I know what a black job is. It's the vice president of the United 87 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.639 States. While the crowd, of course that lots of cheers for that, 88 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.519 and he really put a spotlight on his vice president Kamala Harris and how great 89 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.480 she has been for him. Interestingly, he later came back to it. 90 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.639 He credited this group for putting him and Harris into the White House, and 91 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.800 he said she's not only a great vice president, she could be president in 92 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:23.360 the United States. That caught our ear, caught a lot of people's ears, 93 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.920 just given all of this still swirling speculation about what he may or may 94 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.240 not do and the calls for him to step aside and put her at the 95 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.720 top of the Was that an offhand comment or was that abrupt? It was 96 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:39.199 an offhand comment, but just kind of an interesting one. Obviously, he's 97 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:44.360 talking about her qualifications and touting her and her record and what she's done. 98 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.560 But you know, we're all just kind of looking for all tea leaves and 99 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.519 little clues in everything he's saying these days. Yeah, no kidding. And 100 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:58.319 so he went to the NAACP and then he's going to a Latino rally today 101 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:03.600 and specifically probably because his numbers are really taking a dive there in also those 102 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:09.879 categories softening numbers absolutely in two very critical groups that were so important to him 103 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.800 back in twenty twenty. As I said, you know, he said yesterday 104 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.720 that this was a group black voters that really won him the White House, 105 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:22.120 and any softening of that support, even if it's still very high in general, 106 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.399 a softening could mean a difference in some critical states. Nevada, of 107 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.040 course, is a battleground state. So the President's out there trying to see 108 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.559 what they can do to close the gap out there. But this is a 109 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.720 critical time for the president when you have the RNC getting such a spotlight right 110 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.799 now, so much attention on the Republican side, and especially in the wake 111 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.639 of the assassination attempt on the president former president over the weekend. Well, 112 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.799 he's got a busy week ahead for him, all right. Karen Travers, 113 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.200 thank you so much for the information, for checking in. We'll talk to 114 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.360 you again soon. Have a great day, all right, you too. 115 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.240 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 116 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.759 hour newsroom. La Mayor Bass has vetoed and item on police reform. The 117 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.639 move may knock from the November ballot and attempt to allow the LAPD chief to 118 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.200 directly fire officers, along with other reforms to disciplinary action. The city council 119 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.480 approved the ballot measure earlier this month. Bass said the current proposal lacks clear 120 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.799 guidance and could be bogged down in bureaucracy. She wants to work out a 121 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.679 different plan. It's too late to change any language for a ballot measure this 122 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.360 year, so the city Council would have to override the veto with ten votes. 123 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.600 Council members are on a long break this month and don't meet again until 124 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.279 July thirtieth.

The LAPD says that's when they were shot at. 128 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.360 The guy who allegedly did it was arrested. Police in Fullerton say a 129 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:58.480 man who charged officers with a knife and box cutter wanted suicide by cop. 130 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.080 Fullerton police officer Ryan O'Neil says four officers fired when Lorenzo Hills charged. The 131 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.200 cell phone was registered to mister Hills, the same cell phone used to make 132 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.879 the nine to one one call that initiated the police response. That nine to 133 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.639 one one caller last month asked for multiple officers to respond, you know, 134 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.679 I don't want to know how to hurt anybody where he's there here, he's 135 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.840 been like certain people would be married. Police say a fifth officer fired a 136 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:28.000 less than lethal sponge gun when the armed man charged in fuller ten Corbin Carson 137 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:33.759 kf I News. A new payroll system in LA has led to inaccurate paychecks 138 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.679 for hundreds of city workers. City council and Tim McCosker says, there have 139 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.679 been some issues, but the new system is better, but that does not 140 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.240 it does not feel like it too. At least four hundred folks in LAPD 141 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.679 who are civilians working their tails off and who for other reasons we've been talking 142 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.399 about being such a critical part of our city. The error has impacted about 143 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.840 four hundred police dispatchers. Mcosker says the kinks should be worked out after a 144 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:03.679 couple more pay cycles to camp at eleven sites in the Angelus National Forest may 145 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.120 jump by as much as three hundred percent. Critics say many won't be able 146 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.000 to afford to camp if rates jump from five dollars to twenty dollars a day 147 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.519 for a campsite. Forest officials say about eighty percent of camp site fees are 148 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:22.279 used to maintain and improve facilities. The Forest Service proposed the increased fees earlier 149 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.000 this month. If approved, they take effects sometime next year. The US 150 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.440 is sending more military aid to Ukraine. The latest package is worth around two 151 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:35.600 hundred twenty five million dollars.

Police say it was most likely cyanide poisoning. Weird, right, 183 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.200 let's say good morning now to the host of Rich on Tech Saturdays. 184 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.399 Right here on KFI ktlised tech reporter Rich Demiro. Rich, I need your 185 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.559 help because it's Amazon Prime Day, and as I've told wake Up Call, 186 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.759 I don't think I've ever found a really good deal on Prime. But you 187 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.679 know where they are. Well, yeah, there's a couple places you can 188 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.679 look. First off, you can go to Amazon dot com slash Prime Day 189 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.240 that's going to have specialized deals, kind of personalized for you, mixed in 190 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:33.159 with some of the stuff that they're promoting. We're seeing pretty decent deals this 191 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.519 year on electronics. Those are the biggest discounts. Clothing, next biggest discounts 192 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.480 home and furniture, computers kind of not the best discounts this year nine percent 193 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.240 versus eight percent last year. Another place you can look amy if you want, 194 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.320 is Amazon dot Com slash Buy Again. So here you're going to see 195 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.080 all of this stuff that you've already purchased on Amazon. You know, these 196 00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:00.840 are like the routine things. You know, maybe you just need them again 197 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.080 and you want them at a better price. So that's going to be a 198 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.519 good place. And the other place I like to look. I don't know 199 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.039 about you, but I save a lot of stuff in my Amazon cart that 200 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.879 I want to buy. It's like aspirational. I want to get it, 201 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.679 but I don't, and so I just leave it lingering in the bottom of 202 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.960 my cart. I check to see if any of those items were on sale, 203 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.039 and sure enough, yesterday I did place in order a pretty decent order 204 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.440 for a lot of stuff, because so many of the things I've been watching 205 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.960 did actually go on sale. And I'm looking again today and I'm seeing even 206 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.519 more stuff on sale than I saw yesterday. So I think the deals are 207 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.759 there this year. Okay. And when you say biggest discounts, when you 208 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:41.799 were talking about clothes and electronics, what kind of discounts are we talking about? 209 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.200 Is it fifteen percent? Is it forty percent? Electronics? We're looking 210 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.799 at about twenty two percent versus fourteen last year. This is according to Adobe 211 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:52.919 Analytics, by the way, clothing twenty percent versus twelve percent, and that 212 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.279 is pretty much in line. Let me see if I can see what my 213 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:03.080 shirt was. I buy this dress that I like here, and let's see 214 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.600 how much of a discount it was. Yeah, twenty percent. There you 215 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.919 go. So it's spot on. The other places to look if you're just 216 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.360 looking to spend money, like if you just want ideas, there's websites like 217 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.320 slick Deals, deal News. Those are two good websites. And then Camel 218 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.879 Camel Camel, which I believe we've talked about before. They keep a list 219 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.960 of popular products and top price drops. So if you're just looking for like 220 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.039 something that's really you know, the price majorly came down, you can check 221 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.600 there as well. So if you don't need anything, just you know, 222 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.279 close up your computer and you just saved a lot of money. I know. 223 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:41.919 Well that's what I usually do when I go and I look around on 224 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.639 Prime, I'm like, would do I really need any of this? And 225 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.080 like I just did the buy again and I don't. None of the stuff 226 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.200 that I buy is on Well one thing that I don't need is on Prime 227 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.039 deal. So but I you know what, there is actually one deal that 228 00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.360 Nick Paul Jochini just sent me this morning. Yeah. I don't know if 229 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:03.519 you've seen this one, but it's the Gab phone, which is normally which 230 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.119 is a kid phone, so it doesn't have and I think you didn't your 231 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.519 kids use it or something. There's there's a couple of brands. There's Gab, 232 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.160 there's Bark, so these are two competing phones. Okay, so there 233 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.440 it's but it's a phone that doesn't have social media on that kind of stuff. 234 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.640 It's just a phone, so maybe a good starter phone for a kid. 235 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.559 And normally it's one hundred and ninety nine dollars, but on Prime Day 236 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.079 it's thirty nine to ninety nine. Oh wow, there you go. Now, 237 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.880 before I would get that I would check. I would take so that 238 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:37.079 Camel Camel Camel website. You take the URL, you pop it in there. 239 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.119 So I'm taking the gab phone. And right now it's saying that is 240 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:48.440 the best price. The cheapest price before that was let's see lowest. Yeah, 241 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.920 it was about one hundred and about one hundred dollars, so this is 242 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:56.559 still way cheaper than before. So that's definitely the best price they've offered this 243 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.440 phone at okay. And I also saw that there was a pretty good deal 244 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.160 on some Apple AirPods. Have you seen that one? Yeah, the AirPods. 245 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:08.319 So there's a they're really pushing the air pods quite heavily because you know, 246 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.680 these are like a very simple purchase for people. So let's see what 247 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.640 we've got here. We've got the third generation AirPods, which are sort of 248 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.240 like the newest Those are one hundred and nineteen dollars usually one sixty nine. 249 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.839 And then the standard ones. Ooh, I'm not seeing those anymore. They 250 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.559 might have sold out, but those were a good price too. But if 251 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:33.599 you want headphones earbuds, like this is definitely the day to get them. 252 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:37.079 I would say check out the Nothing buds if you're on Android. The Nothing 253 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.000 but Nothing ear are really good and they're on sale. You can get the 254 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.400 basic ones for eighty dollars and you can get the higher end ones that are 255 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.920 typically one fifty for one to twenty and I've been testing those and they are 256 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.359 excellent, excellent, excellent for the price. Yeah, I might have to 257 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.200 check out the Apple iPods because when I got my new phone, I got 258 00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:03.440 those the Beats whatever, and I'm not that impressed with them personal thing company. 259 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.079 So it's all going to the same it's all going to Tim Cook's pocket. 260 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:07.799 So you're good, Okay, no matter what. That's good to know. 261 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:14.920 Okay. AT and T just had a big old hack and U can 262 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.480 you tell us a little bit about that and is it something that we need 263 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:19.839 to worry about, because it didn't seem like it shared your information. It 264 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:23.799 was just kind of tracking calls, correct, So I don't you know, 265 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.039 it just it just goes to show that there's a lot of information out there 266 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:32.359 just continuing to, you know, put our information on the web, on 267 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:36.720 the dark web. This one, thankfully did not get out. So the 268 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:38.839 hackers got the information, they have not released it. I'm not sure if 269 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.839 that's because they're waiting until they figure out if they can get some money from 270 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.319 AT and T or what. But also the data they got is not that 271 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.680 great. I mean, it does have call and text records for like almost 272 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.440 all AT and T cellular customers, so someone would be able to see, 273 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:57.400 for instance, like who you called if this information got out, But otherwise 274 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:02.039 there's no like personal inform, no so security numbers, no dates of birth. 275 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:03.720 By the way, that was all released a couple of months ago with 276 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.880 the other AT and T hack, so it doesn't even matter. It's all 277 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.720 out there anyway. So the only thing is I think it's interesting if you're 278 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.279 curious if your information is out there with this AT and T if it if 279 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.480 it was breached, you can go to at T dot com slash event, 280 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.000 slash lander and that will tell you if your account was in this compromise, 281 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:26.119 which I don't think is that bad, but you know, it's just a 282 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.039 matter of time until it is again. Yeah, and does will that track 283 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.880 whether it was compromised the time before? No one No. For that one. 284 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.839 You have to go to have I Been poned dot com? So have 285 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:42.119 I been pw n ed dot com? You type in your email address and 286 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:47.160 it will tell you if your information's out there. Yes, mine was, 287 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:51.160 and uh, thank you AT and T for putting all my information out there 288 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.359 on the dark web. Okay, I need to check that one out. 289 00:20:53.400 --> 00:21:03.119 Okay, we've got a new Apple IOEA system that's coming out. Yes, 290 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.920 public beta of iOS eighteen is now available. So if you want all the 291 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.559 latest, greatest fun features on your iPhone, you can download this. But 292 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.920 before you do that, I do not recommend it because Okay, this is 293 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.839 beta software. This is not the final software that's coming out in the fall, 294 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:25.359 usually September. But you would get support for better messaging between iPhone and 295 00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:27.799 Android. That's a big one. But that's coming anyway, right, All 296 00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.680 this stuff is coming anyway. It's just if you want to be like me 297 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.200 and on the cutting edge and like try this stuff out. You're literally a 298 00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:40.240 tester, a software tester for Apple, a free software tester. So if 299 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:45.039 you have a secondary device, or you're just really enthusiastic about trying this stuff 300 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.839 out and you understand the ramifications, which, by the way, if you 301 00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.680 install this on your phone, there's no easy way of going back to the 302 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:55.039 regular software without erasing your phone. Okay, and you're saying maybe hold off 303 00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:56.200 on it, and why are there just too many bugs in it? Or 304 00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.839 what? There may be bugs, there may not be. You may have 305 00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:03.240 a fine experience. It's just I don't think for the average person this is 306 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.160 something that you want to put on your phone because you, again, you 307 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:08.599 are a tester, if you're tech savvy, if you are cutting edge, 308 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.359 if you understand your way around all this stuff, fine, go ahead and 309 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.400 do it. I have friends that do it. Of course, I've installed 310 00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.160 it on a test device. I may put it on my regular device. 311 00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.279 But I think you it's not for the average person to say, oh, 312 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.119 let me just do a public beta on my phone. I don't think that's 313 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.359 a very good idea. Okay, So basically what you're saying to me is 314 00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.240 stay away from that one, Amy. And wait, yeah, I think 315 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.839 the real one's coming out September twentieth around there, So why don't we that's 316 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:34.880 just a rumor. But I mean, yeah, I think you can. 317 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.680 Wait. You've gone this long, Amy, Well, and I'm not very 318 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.079 tech savvy, so okay, awesome, sas, And you're going to have 319 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.440 lots more to say about all of this stuff plus anything tech. Oh, 320 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.119 but you won't be talking about Prime because it'll be done, but you'll have 321 00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.920 new stuff to talk about this weekend because you can listen to kfi's Tech Reporter, 322 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:57.400 the host of Rich on Tech Saturdays from eleven to two right here on 323 00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:02.839 CAFI. You can also follow Rick on Instagram rich on Tech. His website 324 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:07.559 is richon Tech dot tv. Rich Thank you so much, thanks for having 325 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.440 me. All Right, I'm gonna go check out a couple of those Prime 326 00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:14.720 deals. All right, talk to you soon. Anaheim has agreed to pay 327 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.599 two point seventy five million dollars to the Angels because of a stadium deal linked 328 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:23.440 to fraud allegations. This does not impact any essential city services. Anaheim Mayor 329 00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:29.160 Asthley Aiken says settling the Angel's five million dollar claim allows both parties to move 330 00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:33.359 on. This will be a credit against money that normally would go to our 331 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.720 enterprise zone for our convention and Sports and Entertainment department. She says. The 332 00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:41.000 city gets permissioned to build a fire station on land leased by the Angels to 333 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.839 serve the rapidly growing area. The three hundred and twenty million dollar deal collapsed 334 00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.240 because of a former mayor who pleaded guilty to fraud charges. That were partly 335 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.079 associated with the deal. In Anaheim, Corbin Carson KFI News a proposed ballot 336 00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.839 measure that would allow police chief to fire officers if needed could be pulled from 337 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:02.039 the November ballot. Mayor Bass vetoed it. She said if it passed, 338 00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:07.759 the proposal could create bureaucratic confusion. Now, if the Council doesn't override the 339 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:10.799 veto, voters will not be allowed to vote on the issue. In November, 340 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:15.480 NASA says a big boom in the sky over New York was a small 341 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:19.039 meteor flying thirty eight thousand miles an hour. You expect to see a meteor 342 00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:23.039 at night, not during the day, so this was a rare daylight fireball. 343 00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:30.319 Bill Cook with NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office said yesterday's meteor passed over the Statue 344 00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:34.880 of Liberty before disintegrating above New Jersey. People say the boom shook buildings throughout 345 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.519 the five boroughs. Bet it was kind of cool to see. Scary too, 346 00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:42.720 though. California is coming up short on chargers. One hundred and twenty 347 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.680 nine thousand new charging stations will need to be built every year between now and 348 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.359 twenty thirty to meet Governor Newsom's mandate that seventy percent of all new cars sold 349 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:57.079 by that year will need to be zero emissions. A Stanford professor who's written 350 00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:03.359 a brief on California's ev charge policy says that goal is noble but unrealistic. 351 00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:08.440 President Biden is looking to make changes to the Supreme Court. He wants legislation 352 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:14.839 to establish term limits for justices and a code of ethics. The Congress currently 353 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.480 has no control or authority over the High Court, and justices are appointed for 354 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.519 life. The President would need Congressional approval to make the changes. The Washington 355 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:29.720 Post says Biden's also considering pushing for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for 356 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.680 presidents. Shohei Otani has become the first Dodger in nearly three decades to hit 357 00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.279 a home run in the All Star Game. The Dodgers star hit a three 358 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.559 run dinger in the third last night in Arlington, Texas, but the American 359 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.079 leaguer still went on to beat the National League five to three. Mike Piazza 360 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.400 was the last Dodger to hit a home runner home run in the All Star 361 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.359 Game. That was in nineteen ninety six at six Zho five, It's handle 362 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.799 on the news. Low income renders renters in LA are getting a helping hand 363 00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:02.279 to stay in their homes. We're gonna head to Milwaukee for the latest on 364 00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:06.559 the RNC convention, What happened last night and what's on tap for tonight with 365 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:15.880 ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Amy's on it, Aami's on it, AMI's on Itami's 366 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:21.960 on it. What am I on? I'm on the stream, I'm on 367 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:26.400 movies, TV shows, documentaries. I'm really enjoying documentaries these days, sometimes 368 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:30.759 in books, sometimes going to the movie theater. But there's so much content 369 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.680 out there, how do you know what to choose? So I take recommendations 370 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:38.720 from my friends and family, and then I also like to share my recommendations 371 00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:44.000 with you, so hopefully save you some time, keep you away from the 372 00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:48.920 bad stuff, and maybe tune you into the good stuff. So on Monday, 373 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:52.880 of course, the former President Trump announced that jd Vance was going to 374 00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.759 be as vice presidential running mate, and I was like, okay, so 375 00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:02.799 I kind of know who that is, but not really And I like to 376 00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:06.640 find out about as much as you can about who these politicians are. And 377 00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:14.759 Jade Vance actually has a pretty interesting story he wrote Hillbilly Elegy, which is 378 00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:15.759 kind of how he grew to fame, and so I thought, oh, 379 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:19.200 I should probably read the book, because you know, he started with nothing 380 00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:22.720 and then kind of was is a self made guy, and they're saying, 381 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.920 you know, he's really he embodies the American dream because he came from nothing 382 00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:33.359 and really made something great of himself. So I thought, well, I 383 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:34.759 should go and read the book, and so I googled it and I went, 384 00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.079 a, ha, even better, it's on Netflix, which I didn't 385 00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:45.880 even remember. But Ron Howard did the movie called Hillbilly Elegy and it stars 386 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.880 Amy Adams and Glenn Close, and it's about JD. Vance's life in Littletown, 387 00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:55.200 Ohio. He had a mother who was a drug addict, the woman 388 00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:59.200 he called Mamma, who ended up really shaping his life and being the person 389 00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:03.480 who gave him kind of the drive to do better and be better was also 390 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.359 obviously a big part of the movie. At first, the movie feels a 391 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.960 little bit contrived. I don't know, it was just weird. It like 392 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:12.519 I didn't dive in right away and go, oh, this is going to 393 00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.319 be a good movie, but stick with it because it's very interesting. The 394 00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:22.799 story is solid, and it's mostly heartbreaking, and it makes me so sad 395 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:25.720 to know that anyone has to grow up in this kind of environment. But 396 00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.599 again, because I will tell you it was awful the way that JD. 397 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:33.759 Vance, even if it's half true, it was awful how he grew up. 398 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:38.359 But it's also hopeful and it shows you that if you do have a 399 00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:41.519 good role model or a parental model, or maybe it's going to be a 400 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:47.480 teacher for you or your kid or something, maybe you just need that one 401 00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:52.640 person to help get you back on track so you can move on and live 402 00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.039 the American dream as it looks like JD Vance is doing now. Amy Adams 403 00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.359 is awful in this movie, but in a really good way. I mean, 404 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.599 like you hate her because you're just like, what this woman is. 405 00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:08.680 She's just tortured. She's because she plays his mom. So she's a drug 406 00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:14.400 addict and she's mean and she's nasty, and she does such a good job 407 00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:19.640 with this. Glenn Close is almost unrecognizable again, which is really good because 408 00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:26.799 you're not thinking, oh, there's Glenn Close, who's playing mamma in this 409 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:30.440 In this movie, you think it's Jad's mamma. I mean, she just 410 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:34.599 did an amazing job. So you know how the story ends. But the 411 00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:40.240 journey is what I think you're going to watch, whether you're Republican or Democrat, 412 00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:44.519 or think that this was a good pick for Trump or not a good 413 00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:48.839 pick for Trump, which you know, there's a lot of information coming in 414 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:53.119 on both sides. But the movie itself and the story itself really really interesting. 415 00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.200 If you want to know what shape the man who's running for a vice 416 00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.559 president of the United States, this is a great movie to watch. It's 417 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:04.920 called Hillbilly Elegy. It's on Netflix. Let's get back to some of the 418 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:11.680 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom speaking of presidential campaigns. 419 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:17.119 For the sake of our nation, we have to go with Donald Trump. 420 00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:22.160 Nikki Haley has made an appearance at the Republican National Convention to endorse former President 421 00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:26.000 Trump. She was met with some cheers and some booze last night. She 422 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.880 told the convention her message is simple, you don't have to agree with Trump 423 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:37.079 one hundred percent of the time to vote for Haley acknowledged the challenges of another 424 00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:41.200 Trump presidency, but argue that the alternative would be really bad for the country. 425 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.319 She says, no president can fix all are of problems alone, and 426 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.599 says it's up to the people to put a side differences and focus on what 427 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:55.839 unites us. Five Ohio police officers in Wisconsin for the Republican National Convention have 428 00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:59.200 shot and killed a man who had a knife and was in a fight near 429 00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.640 the convention. The Columbus Police Department and officials in Milwaukee say the fight was 430 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:08.160 unrelated to the convention. Thousands of officers from all over the US are in 431 00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:14.400 Milwaukee to offer extra security this week, including more than sixty from California. 432 00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.240 Six men are accused of stealing more than three hundred guns from stores across southern 433 00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.839 California. Federal prosecutors say the guns are being sold on the black market and 434 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.640 turning up during unrelated criminal investigations. The guys are accused of stealing the guns 435 00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:30.759 from nine stores since October. Denise Gertz, who owned Chaparl Coin and gut 436 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.880 and Marietta, says the forty three guns stolen from her store were uninsured. 437 00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:40.000 I'm going to take all our gun sales profits for the next year to recover 438 00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:42.799 from what they took from us. The guys were charged yesterday. They're most 439 00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:48.519 recently accused of stealing more than eighty guns from a store in Orange Blake Trolly 440 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.279 ky if I News. The search is underway for a humpback whale entangled in 441 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.880 a net. A photographer captured footage of the thirty to thirty five foot whale 442 00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.880 with a thick rope wrapped around its tail over the weekend off Palasberty's estates. 443 00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:06.839 A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration team is now trying to locate the whale. 444 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:10.799 Captain Christian Bats of Harbor Breeze Cruises says the whale could die if they can't 445 00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:15.279 find it and get the rope off its tail. Okay, yesterday we told 446 00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:22.799 you about what is being called the worst national anthem ever, Oh the of 447 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:36.160 the that's Ingrid Andres And she sang that before the Major League Baseball home run 448 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:42.480 derby derby earlier this week. So she's just been skewered for this performance, 449 00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:46.039 rightfully so. And she put out a post on social media to own up 450 00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:49.920 to it. She said, I'm not going to be Eschue. She said 451 00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.279 I was drunk last night. She says, I'm checking myself into a facility 452 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:57.799 to get the help I need. That was not me. She apologizes to 453 00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:01.440 Major League Baseball, all the fans, and the country that she loves so 454 00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:07.519 much for that rendition. She says, I'll let you know how rehab is. 455 00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:12.160 I hear it's super fun. That's the definite pr spin what that she's 456 00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:17.000 going into rehab. Yes, everybody has a soft spot for addiction, and 457 00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.519 you know, well but maybe, I mean maybe, but I just feel 458 00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.319 like I have friends who went to rehab from Nashville. They did say it 459 00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:31.240 was fun. But I'm glad she's going to do it, so good for 460 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:37.200 her. We'll see. She was obviously not in her right mind when she 461 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:42.440 sang that song. More illegal immigrants are crossing into the US in San Diego 462 00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.640 than anywhere else in the US. The numbers have dropped more than twenty percent 463 00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:50.000 in the last month, but twenty five thousand people still cross the border in 464 00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:54.000 San Diego in June. Illegal immigrants are now being dropped off directly at nonprofits 465 00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:59.000 like Catholic charities. A mom and dad in Apple Valley have been arrested for 466 00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:02.759 allegedly posing their one year old to fentanel. The baby was taken to the 467 00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:07.799 hospital on Monday after the exposure but has since been released. The parents are 468 00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:13.760 facing charges of child cruelty. Gen z is using TikTok for health advice. 469 00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:20.000 A Zing Coach poll shows fifty six percent of gen z ars look to TikTok 470 00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:23.639 for wellness, diet and fitness advice. Over a third say they used the 471 00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:29.199 app as their main form of health advice. Four and tens say they turn 472 00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:31.920 to TikTok because it's free. Twenty two percent say it's because it's quick. 473 00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:36.840 We're just minutes away from handle. On the news this morning, it's not 474 00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:39.800 all koumba Yat the RNC, Matt Gates and Kevin McCarthy apparently got into it 475 00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:44.000 a bit yesterday. Bill's going to tell you all about that. Speaking of 476 00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:49.000 the RNC, let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy's. Stephen, last 477 00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:53.280 night was make America Safe Again themed. Lots of speakers, What was the 478 00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:58.159 message, how'd they do well? Look? I think the key takeaway is 479 00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:01.880 that it was basically rival tonight. Certainly make America Safe Again was the theme, 480 00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:06.239 and you heard the powerful and painful testimony of people who have lost their 481 00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:12.280 loved ones to crime, drug addiction. But setting that on the table, 482 00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:16.199 You also had the speeches from people who ran against Donald Trump in twenty sixteen 483 00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:21.599 and twenty twenty four who came to this convention to hail their party's nominee Ted 484 00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:27.559 Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, and the headline grabbing Nicki Haley's speech 485 00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:32.039 months ago on the stump, Nicki Haley called Donald Trump unhinged, toxic, 486 00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:37.480 said chaos follows him wherever he goes, but here in Milwaukee last night, 487 00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:40.519 Haley said that another term of Biden and Harris would be worse. So she 488 00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:45.079 said, for the sake of our nation, we have to go with Donald 489 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:49.840 Trump. She argued to fellow Republicans who voted for her, you don't have 490 00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.360 to agree with Trump one hundred percent of the time to vote for him. 491 00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:55.400 And she said she's here because, quote, we have a country to save. 492 00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:04.480 It reminded me the lineup for last night of Doris current Goodwin's book Team 493 00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:10.159 of Rivals about Abraham Lincoln and how he brought all people who ran against him 494 00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:15.800 and put him on his cabinet. And that's been also sort of a you 495 00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:17.639 know, I remember from the earliest days of the Trump presidency. That's kind 496 00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:21.480 of sort of how he wanted it. He liked the idea of people working 497 00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:28.920 for him engaging in amongst themselves a battle of you know, debates, and 498 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:31.920 it was leaks and recriminations and it was a bit messy, but Trump liked 499 00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:35.679 presiding over it. This is a bit different, I think, in the 500 00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:39.280 sense that you know, what he's done is he's brought to this convention those 501 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:45.119 who are willing to demonstrate their loyalty, fealty, allegiance to him. There 502 00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:47.679 are plenty of Republicans who were not in the hall. Think of it, 503 00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:55.119 Chris Christie, met Romney, the bushes. I mean, these are people 504 00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:59.480 who are of the Republican Party, of I would say of old, but 505 00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.360 it was really just a few years ago. And what's the most striking observation 506 00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:07.639 to me I've covered several of these is you probably would have guessed so much 507 00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:12.719 of these things are staged in a way that is formulaic. There are the 508 00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.440 speeches, they are the videos, there's the music for the house band. 509 00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:17.519 There are the delegates on the floor with the tags around their necks. I 510 00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:23.400 mean, this quadrennial event has been going on in this country for one hundred 511 00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:29.960 and seventy years, something like that. But what's different here is the fact 512 00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:35.519 that the party itself has so rapidly changed and unremarkable encapsulation of this was on 513 00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:38.840 Monday in the role Call of the States. The Republican leader in the United 514 00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:44.079 States Senate is a man named Mitch McConnell, and he represented the Commonwealth of 515 00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:47.159 Kentucky. As he said that his state's votes would go to Donald Trump. 516 00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:52.320 As soon as that visage of McConnell flashed up on the screen, enormous booze 517 00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:58.519 filled the hall. The delegates of the Republican Party to their national convention booing 518 00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:01.400 their party's leader in the United Slime State Senate. What a demonstration of how 519 00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:07.400 much this party has changed. Yeah, well it has changed, for sure, 520 00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:10.679 and who knows for the better for the worse. I guess we'll find 521 00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:15.760 out. But the other thing I thought was really interesting earlier this week was 522 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:17.719 that they was on the first night that they had the head of the Teamsters. 523 00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:22.960 Well that's also true. I mean, look, and it was really 524 00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:27.840 that was a very interesting diyamic. Donald Trump has his own electoral ambition, 525 00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:31.480 you know, reasons for rationale for putting a labor leader on the stage, 526 00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:37.800 I don't know. To what extent the Republican Party leadership or Trump himself reviewed 527 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:40.559 the text of that speech, because it wound up being a fierce defense of 528 00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:49.320 organized labor and collective bargaining rights, a slam at corporatism and particular companies Amazon 529 00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:54.039 lift Uber were specifically invoked. It was an incredible speech to hear at a 530 00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:58.440 Republican convention, and you have to wonder whether it'll there's any kind of through 531 00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:01.880 line to the polses that this present would put forward. And not with respect 532 00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:07.239 to you how he speaks and what he says, but what about the National 533 00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.440 Labor Relations Board under Donald Trump? Is it really going to issue favorable rulings 534 00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:16.440 towards organized labor? Or would a Trump NLRB seek to undermine the rights of 535 00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:22.440 organized labor. That is something that Democrats are going to talk about, surely 536 00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:25.079 at their convention in a month. But between now and then, you have 537 00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:32.000 this really interesting programming here where it's not what you'd expect, and that makes 538 00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:37.199 it very interesting. I think it's been fascinating and I can't wait to watch 539 00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:42.000 the Democratic National Convention, but I do think it's been very interesting so far. 540 00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:47.039 So what are we going to see tonight? Tonight, James Dave Advance, 541 00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:52.079 who turns forty two weeks from Friday, still unknown to most of America, 542 00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:54.639 makes something of a national debut. Now, if you've read Hillbilly Elogy, 543 00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:59.280 or you maybe have seen the movie we just talked about jd Vance Hunt, 544 00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:01.920 Well, if you've seen jd. Vance on cable news, then you 545 00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:05.639 know who he is. But most Americans haven't done any of those things. 546 00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:07.719 And so this is a debut for him. He'll make his case for Donald 547 00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:12.559 Trump's reelection and for his own ascension to the second highest office in the land. 548 00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:17.480 So is there any indication that his message might be a kinder, gentler 549 00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:22.000 kind of thing, like because Trump said after what happened over the weekend of 550 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.199 the assassination attempt, he ripped up his speech and wrote a different one that's 551 00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:29.199 more about unity. Do we know if Advance is leaning toward following that or 552 00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:34.119 do we have any indication? I have no idea. Okay, and there'll 553 00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.800 be really look, Democrat said that, I'm beyond perfectly honest because few days 554 00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:39.559 ago, not even he knew he was going to be the nominee. So 555 00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:43.800 let's see what he has to offer. Yeah, I will say this the 556 00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:49.960 Democrats are already trying to paint a JD Van with a certain bush by point 557 00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:52.400 what he said in an Evyes's interview you in februarm On this week, George 558 00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:57.960 Stephanopolo, this was asked, what if you were vice president on January sixth 559 00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:00.079 of twenty twenty one, would you have done what wanted you to do by 560 00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:06.320 setting aside the electoral votes from Pennsylvania? And he said yes vand said, 561 00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:08.320 if I had been vice president, I would have told the states like Pennsylvania, 562 00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:13.079 Georgia and so many others that we needed to have multiple slates of electors. 563 00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:16.360 That idea of multiple slates of electors has resulted in criminal charges in some 564 00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:21.760 of these states, and so Democrats are pointing that out. Yes, okay, 565 00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:24.719 well it's gonna like like we've been talking about it. It's interesting to 566 00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:29.679 watch, and I'll be watching tonight.
