You grab your teeth falling up. No, but I've 9 00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:00.000 had that dream before. And then remember that what was that movie with Julie 10 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:06.000 Roberts that the Obama's produced? It was, Oh, shoot, what's it 11 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:11.200 called? It came out like last year. One of the characters, Julia 12 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.079 Roberts kid, all his teeth fell out. It was right after the computers 13 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.040 went out, right before the nuclear war. Leave the World Behind. Ah, 14 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.680 that one got that. It was an awful movie. All right, 15 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.519 let's not start the day on that note. It's going to be a fabulous 16 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.680 day. We're excited for it. Here's what's a head on wakeup call? 17 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:36.120 A new wildfire has forced families out of their homes in Ventura County. A 18 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.840 fire burning near Highway thirty three in Los Padres National Force quickly grew to two 19 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:46.040 hundred and fifty acres yesterday and forced residents of Apache Canyon to evacuate their homes. 20 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.879 It's one of ten fires that started in the state yesterday. The largest 21 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.680 fire burning in California in Santa Barbara County. It's more than thirty eight thousand 22 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.799 acres ninety percent surround it. Former President Trump's going to move his campaign rallies 23 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.959 indoors. The Washington Poe says the Secret Service told Trump's campaign to stop holding 24 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.120 large outdoor rallies and other outdoor events with big crowds following the assassination attempt on 25 00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:10.199 him earlier this month, We're going to be talking more about the Secret Service, 26 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.680 the resignation of the director, and how the Secret Service moves forward with 27 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:20.919 a former special agent for the Secret Service, Don the Holli. Salt Lake 28 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.080 City's been awarded the twenty thirty four Olympic Games. Salt Lake, which last 29 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.800 hosted the Winter Games in two thousand and two, was the only city in 30 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.520 the running. Following the International Olympic Committee, fast tracking the decision last year 31 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.479 and awarding the Olympics to the US. Okay, lots more coming up on 32 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.400 wake up Call. Rich DeMuro is coming up before the bottom of the hour. 33 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.840 Apple may be getting into the foldable phone market. Amy's on it. 34 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.039 I'm on a really spacey show that could just make your head spin just a 35 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.120 little bit. And then we have a special guest coming into the studio a 36 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.360 little later this hour. She's petite, she's adorable, and she wears a 37 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.719 tuxedo. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the twenty 38 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.280 four hour newsroom. President Biden will address the nation tonight about his decision to 39 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.400 drop out of the race for president. Biden posted on x saying he'll speak 40 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:14.479 at five pm on what lies ahead and how he plans to finish the job 41 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.800 for the American people. He returned to the White House yesterday for the first 42 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.479 time since he tested positive for COVID last week. Former President Trump is invention 43 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:27.039 is going to start holding rallies indoors, following a request from the Secret Service. 44 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:31.159 Officials reportedly told Trump's campaign to stop holding those large outdoor rallies with big 45 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:38.360 crowds. Following the assassination attempt. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle resigned yesterday after 46 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.759 growing pressures over her mishandling of the rally. In Pennsylvania, LAPD chief Dominic 47 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.639 Choice's street takeovers have become more common and more dangerous, Joi told the Police 48 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:52.280 Commission. Despite having four task forces, they just don't have the resources to 49 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.879 be everywhere at once. A lot of these vehicles are stolen now and then 50 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:59.000 they leave them there or they burn them. So we're looking at that angle 51 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.280 too to see if there's a particular area group that's doing that. Choi says, 52 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.680 given the recent murder of a teenage bystander and the looting of a store, 53 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.960 getting a handle on this is more critical than ever, and the chief 54 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.960 says it's becoming more difficult to track down possible locations in advance. Steve Gregory 55 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:19.439 Kaphie News a hydro thermal explosion at Yellowstone National Park ascent visitors running for safety. 56 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:25.240 ABC's Alex Stone says it happened at the Biscuit Basin yesterday, sending a 57 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.000 huge cloud of steam and chunks of earth into the air and then debris all 58 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:33.000 over a boardwalk. Nobody was injured. Geologists are now investigating, saying hydrothermal 59 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:39.959 explosions are caused when magma rises towards the surface. The basin is closed for 60 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:45.480 now while geologists look into it. The US Geological Survey says these kinds of 61 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:50.319 events are relatively common in Yellowstone. A similar explosion was reported in the Norris 62 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:57.279 Geyser Basin in April. It's five seven on your Wednesday morning wake up call. 63 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:01.959 Let's say good morning now to ABC News's Law Law Enforcement contributor Don Mahalik. 64 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.839 Don was a special agent with the US Secret Service back from back in 65 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:11.639 nineteen ninety eight. He was promoted then to senior special Agent in twenty fifteen, 66 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.279 and then was appointed as a Regional Training Coordinator for the Northeast Region. 67 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:21.560 He's responsible for training Secret Service personnel in the Northeast region. Don, I 68 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:26.720 think you know what you're speaking about. So you're the perfect person for us 69 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.480 to talk to today. After the big grilling by lawmakers and not answering a 70 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.920 lot of questions about the failures of July thirteenth, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle 71 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:41.120 has resigned. So tell us what happened, and then what's going to happen 72 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:46.040 next, well, it's good to be with you. And from what my 73 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:51.399 understanding is the pressure, the mounting pressure both from elected officials and others, 74 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:58.120 the calls for her resignation. I think the director uestelfishly decided that she was 75 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.800 becoming a distraction to the Secret Service, because let's not forget what this is 76 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.879 about right now is the men and women of the Secret Service in their mission. 77 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.759 So she was clearly becoming a distraction. The focus needs to be on 78 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.959 the MENI moment of the Secret Service. They've got a tremendous mission. They've 79 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.879 got the DNC coming up, they're picking up Jade Vance's family, they're increasing 80 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.439 VP Harris's detail, They're going to pick up her running mate. There's a 81 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:25.079 whole campaign still to run. There's a lot going on, and the last 82 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.240 thing you want to be as a leader is taking away from that focus. 83 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:32.079 And I think she saw that that was becoming a problem, and she unselfishly 84 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.800 said, Okay, I'm going to tap out. So that way it takes 85 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:39.920 me out of the picture and I'm not the subject of conversation. The Secret 86 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.680 Service becomes a subject of the conversation. So I think as a leader, 87 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.720 she made the right move. Okay, good, and do you think, 88 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:53.120 well, you're saying that she did it, so it's not distracting a lot 89 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:58.600 of people are saying that she did it because she wasn't running the agency that 90 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.360 well. From your experience, did you see her as a good leader. 91 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:06.240 I don't think there was any question about her capability and confidence to be the 92 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.800 director. She's been the director for three and a half the year she was 93 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:15.160 handpicked by President Biden, and I think President Biden had been around the Secret 94 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.879 Service long enough to know who would be effective and who wouldn't be effective, 95 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:23.279 and who he was comfortable with. Because let's not forget the Secret Service director 96 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:27.759 is a presidential appointed position. It's not a Senate confirmed position. So the 97 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.839 president has unilateral authority to appoint who they want to be the Secret Service director. 98 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.000 So you know, up until she resigned, she retained the confidence of 99 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.279 both Secretary of Majorcus and the President. And from my understanding, it was 100 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:46.519 her decision to resign. It was not a request from the White House or 101 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.839 a request from Homeland Security. So based on what I understand, it was 102 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.720 her call. She saw she was a distraction, she decided to go, 103 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.920 had nothing to do with her she was running the agency, or her confidence 104 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.519 so then done? How how were so many mistakes made on July thirteenth, 105 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.319 or were not that many mistakes made? And we just don't realize how things 106 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.800 are normally run. So some of this has to go to understanding how the 107 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.920 Secret Service does protection. When the Secret Service gets out to sites, they 108 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.439 work with their local and state counterparts to set up a security plan. They 109 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:28.199 generally set up three rings of protection entering, middle ring and an adding enterring. 110 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.800 Think of the stage area, middle ring, think of the checkpoints, 111 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.399 adderings, think of parking lots, buildings, et cetera. Which is where 112 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.559 this building apparently was. They staff those parts of the security plan with different 113 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.639 personnel, typically secre Service personnel and the interring Secret Service and maybe some local 114 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.200 personnel. And the middle ring and the adding Typically they staff with local law 115 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.320 enforcement support because the Secret Service that's finite resources, and during a campaign they 116 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.960 could be in eight states and twelve sites and have to staff and secure all 117 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:05.320 of those sites, rely heavily on local law enforcement from reporting. The mistakes 118 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:11.279 started when this individuals identified and by local law enforcement, and they instead of 119 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.759 interacting with him and mitigating the threat, which is what the Secret Service does. 120 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.799 They mitigate threats, they eliminate threats. One of the mitigation measures is 121 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.200 if you see something suspicious, go to it, identify it, and figure 122 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.200 out what's going on. It did in my entire career. So in this 123 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.000 case, instead of going to the problem, interviewing the problem, figuring out 124 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.960 what the problem was when it was in a parking lot, they chose to 125 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.440 surveil the problem for too long, lost sight of the problem, and then 126 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.440 they called the team to go investigate it. And the team they called to 127 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.799 investigate it was the team that was supposed to be monitoring the building that he 128 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:52.759 ended up on top of. So they got called away to go investigate it, 129 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:58.120 and it was amongst a communication loop solely within the local law enforcement loop. 130 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.080 From my understanding, service didn't get visibility that there was a problem until 131 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.080 almost it was too late. Oh wow, Okay, So it just sounds 132 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:13.200 like they maybe need to improve their communication strategy, like, you know, 133 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.639 if this happens, then this happens, like maybe they didn't know because local 134 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.919 law enforcement aren't used to dealing with the kinds of threats that the Secret Service, 135 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.960 and that's part of the problem is whenever you're going out and working with 136 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.799 local law enforcement, and they do a tremendous job, but there is a 137 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.639 mission in mindset. There's a mission and mindset difference between what the Seper Service 138 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.519 protection mission is and what local law enforcement does. And also around the country, 139 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.759 you know, different agencies have different capabilities. You know, LAPD has 140 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.600 tremendously different capabilities than the police department out by Yosemite, so it's a you 141 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:52.879 know, so it's a totally different capability. You also have to assess when 142 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.320 you go at it, which is why in some of these areas like Butler, 143 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.840 Pennsylvania, the local agencies, because they're small, they have to pull 144 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.159 in resources from surrounding community, state police, etc. So the Secret Service 145 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.399 owns a security plan, no doubt about that. What the Secret Service probably 146 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:13.000 needs to do moving forward now is ensure that they're leveraging the right assets in 147 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.639 the right places to mitigate the threats for the security plan, and that the 148 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:22.639 instructions for how to do that are clearly understood by everybody, and that the 149 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:28.279 communication loops between the local law enforcement and all the stakeholders working that event site. 150 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.440 It's clear and everybody's speaking the same language. So that way, if 151 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.399 somebody says there's a problem, everybody understands what that problem was, which is, 152 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:39.759 from what I understand, part of the issue here was that the local 153 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.039 folks said we have a problem, or we have a suspicious person, but 154 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.399 there was no clarification on exactly what that was. And I think Cheadle said 155 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:54.600 when she was being questioned by Congress that she said it was a suspicious person, 156 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.440 it wasn't designated as a threat. So it sounds like it's like a 157 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:05.039 Samana take problem that it's getting the terminology the same. I wish the director 158 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:11.360 handled that question better because there is a distinction between a threat and a suspicious 159 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.039 person. Well, if you go to these political events, there's all kinds 160 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:18.320 of suspicious people. People show up dressed in alantash outfits, people show up 161 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.919 carrying all kinds of unique things. So the mitigation method for that is for 162 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.399 a secret service agent or the local law enforcement to approach that individual of those 163 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.679 individuals and identify them and determine what are you doing, what's your intent, 164 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.759 you know, and do all that so that way we know we can determine 165 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.320 are you a threat or are you just you know, here to enjoy the 166 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:46.720 event and you're a little you know, you're a little lackey. So as 167 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.240 it happened, you get all kinds of people. Yeah. Yeah, so 168 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.679 you know, so like that is the piece that didn't happen here. And 169 00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:03.080 a threat is a demonstrative, you know, somebody who is taking demonstrative steps 170 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.720 or doing something where they're where they're putting the life of the protect thee, 171 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.360 the life and safety of the protectee or the participants people at the rally in 172 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.799 jeopardy. So there's a difference. Somebody showing up, you know, dressed 173 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:22.200 out landishly carrying something silly. They're not a threat to the protector. They're 174 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.000 suspicious, but they're not a threat to the protector or the participants. Somebody 175 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.360 carrying a range find or in a backpack and then you open the backpack and 176 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.279 you see who's got a rifle. That's a threat. So there's a difference. 177 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:39.080 Yeah. Well it sounds like don everybody learned a pretty hard lesson, 178 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.159 but hopefully it's going to help keep everybody safe as we move forward, as 179 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.399 more adjustments are made. Yeah, and I just want to you know, 180 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:54.000 listen, the Secret Service has had a historical success rate concerning what it does. 181 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.120 The last time a former president had an assassination attempt was Teddy Roosevelt, 182 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.679 so you know, and the last time the sitting president had an assassination attempt 183 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:09.000 was Reagan. And there's a whole bunch of assassination attempts that have taken place 184 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.039 amongst the decades, and nobody knows about that has not been reported that the 185 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.000 Secret Service, with its partners had mitigated, including the assassination plot against President 186 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.519 Biden ount in Denver where the FBI went and raided the house two or three 187 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:26.480 days before President Biden arrived in Colorado. So there's a lot of work that 188 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.679 goes into us. There's a lot of successes that go into this, and 189 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.759 the Secret Service is one of a few agencies in the federal government where when 190 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.960 they make a mistake, they admit it and they try to work their tail 191 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.399 off to close that gap. We saw that after the French Jumper incidents. 192 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:46.919 We saw that after the Reagan assassination. So you know, I'm positively and 193 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:52.360 confident that moving forward they will take the steps necessary to mitigate this risk, 194 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.519 to close these gaps and make sure that the American people and all their protectees 195 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:01.360 feel safe moving forward as the campaign progresses. I think that's the perfect way 196 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:07.840 to end our conversation. Don Mahallick, ABC News Law Enforcement contributor, thank 197 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.000 you so much for your time and your information. I feel better now. 198 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.679 Thanks for having me in LA. All right, Take care. President Biden 199 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.120 says he'll address the nation tonight from the Oval Office. It's expected to happen 200 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:26.039 at five o'clock hour time. It'll be his first on camera appearance aside from 201 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.120 moving between his vehicle and the plane, since he dropped out of the twenty 202 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.279 twenty four presidential race on Sunday. Earlier this week, Biden told his campaign 203 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.600 workers that dropping out was the right thing to do. Protesters have staged a 204 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.159 sit in at the Capitol ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nettanna, Who's address 205 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.279 to Congress this afternoon. Several arrests were made yesterday. Hundreds of protesters wore 206 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.639 red shirts that said not in our Name, enchanted, Let Gaza Live, 207 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.240 before being taken away by Capitol police. Tennis player Coco Goff has been named 208 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:02.039 the female flag bearer for Team USA at the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris. 209 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.759 Lebron James was named the male flag bearer earlier this week. And get this, 210 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.080 Snoop Dogg has been chosen to be one of the last Olympic torch bearers 211 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.279 leading up to opening ceremonies. Can't wait to see that. At six ZHO 212 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:22.919 five, It's handle on the news. The fighting could cease soon. There's 213 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.639 talk that there's new hope for a ceasefire between Israel and Humas. Let's say 214 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:32.039 good morning now to the host of Rich on Tech on KFI KTLA's tech reporter 215 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:36.799 Rich Demuros. So, Rich, looks like Apple might be getting into the 216 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.960 foldable phone game. Search sounds that way. Good morning to you. This 217 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.720 is from a exclusive report from the Information. They say that Apple is working 218 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:51.960 on a foldable iPhone with a potential release date as early as twenty twenty six, 219 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.320 so we still have some time. The device is going to look like 220 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:59.399 a clamshell, so it's kind of similar to what Samsung is doing with their 221 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.320 z flip smartphone. By the way, they've been making that for oh about 222 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.319 four years now, five years, so Apple a little behind here. But 223 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:10.480 the main thing they want to get rid of is that crease in the center 224 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:12.279 of the screen. Apple likes to do things a little bit better, and 225 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.640 so that's what they're trying to get rid of before they come out with this 226 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.839 apparently. And the Samsung still has the crease in the middle of the screen. 227 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.160 It's not very visible. I mean, it's one of those things that 228 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:23.720 people make a big deal out of, but when you're using the phone day 229 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.279 to day, you don't really notice it. It's not that big of a 230 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.839 deal. So, yes, it's still there, but it's I think it's 231 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.920 minimized over the years. And has Apple been working on this for as long 232 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:38.200 as Samsung has and it's just been not ready for prime time or are they 233 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.279 just really late to the game to get started with it. No, I 234 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.880 think we've heard reports about Apple working on a foldable phone for many years now. 235 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:48.519 So it's just one of these things where Apple is working on a lot 236 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.759 of stuff. They don't bring stuff to market unless they believe that the quality 237 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.880 is there and the market is there and the timing is there. So I 238 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.920 think we'll see. Nobody really is kind of like, you know, seeking 239 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:04.039 a foldable phone, Like nobody says, oh I need this because it can 240 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:08.000 do this. But I think a foldable iPhone would do pretty well because it's 241 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.759 a smaller form factor. People do like that. So I'm looking at my 242 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:17.400 iPhone right now, So if it folded in half, is it so it 243 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.480 basically would it be that or would it be a larger phone or do we 244 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.880 know yet? No, it'd basically be the size of your phone, except 245 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.799 probably a little narrower, and it would just fold from the top to the 246 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:29.680 bottom, so you'd be able to I mean, the neat thing about the 247 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.559 foldable form factor is that it does give you some interesting options when it comes 248 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.039 to taking pictures. So most of your pictures are actually taken even if they're 249 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.319 selfies, with the best cameras on the phone, because you can take them 250 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.200 with that phone closed, and that means your cameras on the outside are really 251 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.720 the best cameras, and so it's kind of tough to explain, but yeah, 252 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.920 you'd be able to take all of your pictures with the best cameras instead 253 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.960 of having that selfie camera which is not as good, and then the main 254 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.839 cameras on the back, which are the best. Okay, but we're gonna 255 00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.279 have to wait a little while longer because you said twenty twenty six, right, 256 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.039 Yeah, we'll set a date to talk about this in twenty twenty six 257 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.559 and we'll revisit perfect. I love that. Okay, now let's talk about 258 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:14.400 companies and something called personalized pricing. Yeah, I thought this was pretty interesting. 259 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.960 The FTC is asking eight companies to give some information on what they call 260 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:25.559 surveillance pricing. So these eight companies basically use personal data, AI and algorithms 261 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.160 to set different prices for different people. And this is a major area of 262 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:34.160 concern with the Internet because when you log onto something, it may have a 263 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:38.759 completely different price than I have. Now in reality, do we see this 264 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.880 a ton? I'm not sure because I don't know what you're paying for things. 265 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:47.039 I think some places like Amazon, people talk about prices changing all the 266 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:52.200 time. People talk about prices changing with travel depending on what country you're logging 267 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.319 in from. So I do think that this is interesting that they're looking into 268 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.519 it. It's something that I've often wondered about and I would like some more 269 00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:02.200 light on it, especially as someone who is shopping for a hotel room right 270 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:03.839 now. You know, I've shopped for the past three a's and the prices 271 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.240 have been different pretty much every single day. Well, just the name of 272 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.160 its surveillance pricing sounds bad. Yeah, it's kind of loaded that they call 273 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.319 it that. I mean, I don't think these companies that are selling this 274 00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.400 these services, I don't think they call it surveillance pricing, but that's what 275 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.880 the FTC is calling it. Kind of a loaded way. But by the 276 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.920 way, the companies include MasterCard, Revionis, Bloom, Reach, JP, 277 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:33.079 Morgan Chase, Task Software, pros Accenture, and McKinsey and Company. So 278 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.799 those are some pretty big names in there as well. And I just think 279 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:41.200 it sounds like it could lead to things like discrimination, Like yes, absolutely, 280 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.960 I mean, it just sounds like it's so wrong on so many levels 281 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:48.640 on both sides. So if you have maybe a lower income, you might 282 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.279 pay one price, you have a higher income, they might charge you more. 283 00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:53.440 There's a lot of ways that this can go. And as we know, 284 00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:59.480 there are so many points of data out there about us, especially on 285 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:03.599 our web brows and just in general with these data companies, that this is 286 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.079 probably a pretty good business. I'm looking at Revionix and they've got some pretty 287 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.000 big customers as their customers. So yeah, okay, you can find out 288 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.599 more about this and what we've just talked about, and we're gonna I believe 289 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.839 you're talking air tags on your KTLA segment this morning, and are you going 290 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:25.240 to talk about that this weekend as well? Absolutely, air tags and both 291 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:30.480 for iPhone and Android. Perfect. And you can listen to Rich on Tech 292 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.160 right here on KFI Saturday from eleven to two.

Thank you, 296 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:51.000 Rich all right, Thanks Amy. All right, let's get back to some 297 00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:52.519 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. A new 298 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.000 ethics commission could be created for La County. To make such a commission part 299 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.920 of the county Charter is a piece of a larger government reform measure. In 300 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.240 the meantime, the Board of Supervisors has asked for a report next month on 301 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.400 how to create an ethics commission now. Supervisor Catherine Barger says there's no need 302 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.319 to wait till November. This is a step in the right direction in showing 303 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.240 the voters that we can get important things done with a sense of urgency. 304 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.279 And ownership. The commission would ensure compliance on conduct, contracts, lobbying, 305 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:23.720 and other issues in downtown La. Michael monks KFI News. He is brought 306 00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:29.559 to you by Semper Solaris. Transportation Secretary Pete bootaj Edge says the department is 307 00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:34.039 investigating Delta to see why the airline is still struggling since last week's crowd strike 308 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.720 outage. He says the department has received over three thousand complaints people being on 309 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:42.559 hold for hours and hours trying to get a new flight, people having to 310 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:48.839 sleep on airport floors, even accounts of unaccompanied miners being stranded in airport. 311 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.519 Yeah, that doesn't sound fun at all. Boothajedge says over six thousand flights 312 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.720 have been canceled since Friday, Hundreds of flights were canceled yesterday and more than 313 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.799 a half million passengers have been impacted. And dozens of buildings in downtown San 314 00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:06.079 Diego have been covered with massive ads for comic con. Lord of the Rings, 315 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:10.160 The Walking Dead, Star Trek, and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are 316 00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.960 among those being promoted, but officials say some of the building wraps are illegal. 317 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:17.559 Fines range from one to ten thousand dollars a day, so some say 318 00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:22.119 the value of advertising outweighs the risk. The cost for many of the giant 319 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.960 ads is more than one hundred thousand dollars. The head of the Pennsylvania State 320 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.759 Police says two local officers in the buildings where the assassin opened fire and former 321 00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.960 President Trump from the roof, left their post to go search for the shooter. 322 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:38.200 It's one of a multitude of security failures that have come to light since 323 00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:42.720 the shooting on July thirteenth. What went wrong and pressure from lawmakers prompted the 324 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:48.440 director of the Secret Service to resign. Yesterday, two thousand migrants from dozens 325 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:52.480 of countries have set out by foot from a city in southern Mexico in an 326 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.839 effort to get to the US border before the November election. Several say they're 327 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:02.359 worried that a former President Trump is elected, he'll follow through on a promise 328 00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:06.720 to close the border. Time to slow your role. In Anaheim's speed limits 329 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:08.839 are being lowered by five miles per hour on one hundred and fifty nine roads 330 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:12.160 around the city, A handful will be lowered by ten miles per hour, 331 00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:18.640 and a portion of Manchester Avenue near Disneyland is being lowered from forty to twenty 332 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.279 five miles per hour. A city study shows most people driving on those streets 333 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.119 are already going slower than the speed limit. The city's just making it official. 334 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.319 New speed signs could go up as early as next week. We're just 335 00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.039 minutes away from handle. On the news this morning, Elon Musk pledged forty 336 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:38.400 five million dollars a month to former President Trump's campaign. But he's walking that 337 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.920 back right now. Oh and as I mentioned at five point fifty, that 338 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:53.480 special visitor stopping by, she's Unflappableamy on it, dais on this Day's on 339 00:24:53.640 --> 00:25:00.279 it, Damie's on it? What am I? I'm streaming shows? There's 340 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.759 so much out there? How do you know what to watch? Well? 341 00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:08.880 I take a lot of recommendations from friends. Sometimes I just sit and Peru's 342 00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:14.200 stuff. And a lot of times my friends steer me in the right direction. 343 00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:18.319 So hopefully I can steer you in the right direction and get you to 344 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.880 see some of the really good shows or maybe even avoid some of the not 345 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:27.920 so great shows. This week, I'm on a show called Outer Range. 346 00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:33.319 It's on Prime Video. There are two seasons. It stars Josh Brolin. 347 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:40.599 It's described as an American science fiction neo Western TV series. I know sounds 348 00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:45.279 weird, right, Well it is. Josh Brolin is a rancher named Royal 349 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:51.039 Abbott who makes an other worldly discovery on the western edge of his property. 350 00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:55.720 So basically, a hole opens up on his property. But it's not just 351 00:25:55.799 --> 00:26:02.640 an ordinary hole. It literally it swallows people up and it's spits others out. 352 00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:08.079 And how that all happens is really still a mystery. And I've watched 353 00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:15.559 both seasons. The show is slow, it's very strange. It has this 354 00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:19.400 really ominous feeling about it, like you're always waiting for something to happen. 355 00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:26.240 The characters are odd, they're not that likable, and it seems like everybody 356 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:29.759 in the show is a mess. There are families who are feuding, we 357 00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:33.359 don't really know why, and after the first full season we still really don't 358 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:40.079 know why. And then there's this aspect of time travel that obviously, well 359 00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.039 not maybe not obviously, but now obviously because I'm going to tell you it 360 00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:47.400 has to do with that hole. And you're left with this feeling of what 361 00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:53.200 in the actual hell just happened enough that you keep watching and go onto the 362 00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:57.359 next episode to see if you get any answers. So the show kind of 363 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:03.000 reminds me of I don't know, if you want to nbsa's NBC's Librea, 364 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:10.839 where sinkholes opened up and people then get transported back from modern time to ten 365 00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:14.920 thousand beach c they literally fall into a hole. Well, the stories are 366 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:22.799 different, but there are some similarities between Outer Range and Librea. Again, 367 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:27.839 you leave scratching your head a little bit. And Librea was canceled after three 368 00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:33.839 seasons, and I just found out actually that Outer Range has been canceled after 369 00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.160 two seasons. So Prime Video is not making a third season, which is 370 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.839 super frustrating because at the end of the season, like I said, you're 371 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.200 left scratching your head, you don't have any answers. You want to know 372 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:49.599 what happens next, and we're never gonna get those answers. So can I 373 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:56.759 recommend watching it? If you like weird sci fi kind of stories, then 374 00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.960 yeah, it's interesting, but I wouldn't put it at the top of my 375 00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:07.279 priority list. The one cool thing that I learned that I did not know 376 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.400 when I was listening to the show, and it was because I was like 377 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:14.960 doing housework and stuff as I'm watching it. And I went, you know, 378 00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:19.000 Josh Brolan's voice sounds so familiar. So I looked it up and I 379 00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.680 went, oh, my god, that's Thanos. I didn't know that. 380 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.559 I know, ConA is looking at me like you idiot. I didn't know 381 00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:30.319 that Josh Brolin was Thanos. So that's what I learned from watching two seasons 382 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:34.039 of Outer Range. That's what I'm on this week. Let's get back to 383 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:37.039 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Four 384 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.799 men from La County have been arrested on federal charges of committing armed robberies of 385 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:47.920 mostly seven eleven stores in South LA during a nearly two month long crime spree. 386 00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.119 The indictment, unsealed yesterday, charges the men with conspiracy to interfere with 387 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.680 commerce by robbery and interference with commerce by robbery, known as a Federal Hobbes 388 00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:02.680 Act crime. Good to know those technical technical terms. News brought to you 389 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:06.599 by Samprasillaris. A day old girl has been found dead at a house in 390 00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:11.720 Woodland Hills. Her death is being investigated as a homicide. There are reports 391 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.119 a bleeding woman who appeared to have recently given birth, turned up in an 392 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.920 emergency room last night. She was escorted to the home and that's when the 393 00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:23.279 baby was found. San Clemente is considering a sales tax bump to pay for 394 00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:27.880 a yearly sand replenishment program to fight coastal erosion. About sixty thousand tons of 395 00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:32.160 sand will start being delivered to North Beach next week, which San Clementy City 396 00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:34.240 Manager Andy Halls has will cost about two million dollars. This is our first 397 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.039 phase. Some of the beaches that we all want to be more like, 398 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.400 whether that's Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, they're in phases twelve or thirteen. 399 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:45.279 Mayor Victor Carbral says asking voters to raise taxes could help. If we're going 400 00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.160 to continue to be a beach community, we're going to have to put Sam 401 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.559 there. Councilman Chris Duncan disagrees. I can't strap them with the responsibility to 402 00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.720 pay for a project that the state, frankly should be paying for. The 403 00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:59.359 council will consider a sales tax increase next month. In Orange County, Corbin 404 00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:22.400 Carson ca I News She's amazing. Selene Dionne hasn't performed since twenty nineteen, 405 00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:27.160 but she'll be performing Friday. At the opening ceremony of the twenty twenty four 406 00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:33.039 Summer Olympics in Paris. As you'll recall, Selene left the stage after being 407 00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:37.599 diagnosed with something called stiff Person's syndrome. She was forced to cancel all of 408 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.960 her tour dates because of the disease. So I am, for one thrilled 409 00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:45.960 that we'll get to hear Celene sing again. And Nick Poliochini, thank you 410 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:52.000 for sending me the picture of Fanos. That's the Josh Brolin side eye Thanos. 411 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:55.359 Yeah. I love it. Now that I look at it, I'm 412 00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:56.519 like, oh, yeah, that's Josh Brolin. I swear I had no 413 00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:02.079 said. It's like it's this browline and everything all right, okay. A 414 00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:04.480 fifteen year old girl missing from her home in Monterey Park for more than a 415 00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:08.400 week has been found and is safe. Alice and Chow went for a bike 416 00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:12.480 ride to go see her aunt in San Gabriel on July sixteenth, but never 417 00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:17.680 showed up. Billy says she was found and she's safe, but didn't provide 418 00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:22.160 any more details on where she's been. Former President Trump will host Israeli Prime 419 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:26.240 Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mara A Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump announced 420 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:32.359 on Truth So Social the two are going to meet tomorrow. Netanyahoo delivers an 421 00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:37.200 address to a joint meeting of Congress in DC this afternoon. At least thirty 422 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:41.039 Democrats, including Vice President Harris, will not attend. Are you ready for 423 00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:47.319 some more football? The executive director of the NFL Players Association says a union 424 00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:52.079 has had high level discussions with the league about adding an eighteenth regular season game 425 00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:56.720 to the schedule. The twenty twenty four NFL season starts September fifth, with 426 00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:02.839 the Super Bowl champion Chiefs hosting Baltimore. We're just minutes away from Handle. 427 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.599 On the news this morning, former President Trump is fighting to keep Kamala Harris's 428 00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:14.519 hands off Biden's ninety one million dollars in campaign cash. We have some special 429 00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.519 guests in the studio this morning. And it's not every day that I get 430 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:21.960 to say, oh gosh, there's a penguin in the studio, But this 431 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:24.000 morning I get to say, oh my god, there's a penguin in the 432 00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:29.440 studio. Penny, the penguin from SeaWorld is here this morning. And also 433 00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:35.599 with Penny is Curator of Rescue Jenny Smith. Jenny thank you for bringing Penny 434 00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:37.079 in along with el Obrian, who we're going to be talking to in just 435 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:42.440 a minute. What are you guys making the rounds for this week. Well, 436 00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:46.680 we're here to celebrate National zoo Keeper Week and we're also celebrating sixty years 437 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:53.200 since SeaWorld open. Sixty years sixty years since we started our rescuing rehabilitation program. 438 00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:58.720 We've rescued over forty two thousand animals, and so it's a great time 439 00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.920 to celebrate the people that take care of all of the animals at SeaWorld and 440 00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:07.000 all of the amazing conservation, education, inspiration work that we do every single 441 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:13.319 day. Absolutely how many people are working at SeaWorld doing the rescue operations on 442 00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.799 a given day. On a given day, there's about eleven people. But 443 00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:21.319 it just depends on the case. Every single case is different. For example, 444 00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:25.119 if we have a dolphin that we rescue and we are rehabilitating, it'll 445 00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:30.960 take a lot of care, So twenty four hour care, right, And 446 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.880 what other I know that dolphins are one and we hear about the sea lions 447 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:37.759 a lot. What other animals are you rescuing and rehabilitating? So we rescue 448 00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:45.680 California Sea lions, northern elephant, seals, sea turtles, seabirds, Guadaloupe 449 00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:51.839 fur seals which are threatened species. So there's many different species that we rescue 450 00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:57.680 off the coastline of San Diego. And what about penguins like Penny? Do 451 00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:01.960 you rescue many penguins or that's they're in a different area, they're found a 452 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:07.079 little more a little further south. So we do not rescue penguins like Penny. 453 00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:10.679 But we have many penguins at SeaWorld that I can have. I'll explain 454 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:17.480 all about them. L O'Brien is a zoological specialist at SeaWorld, and I'll 455 00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.119 tell us about Penny. She's so cute. Yes, she's pretty cute. 456 00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:27.360 She also knows it. So she is a twenty year old Magellanic penguin. 457 00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:32.400 Magellanic penguins are one of the four species of temperate penguins, so they don't 458 00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:37.320 live down in Antarctica when they're really really cold, crazy parts of the world. 459 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.079 They live off the coast of South America, so Argentina and Chile is 460 00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:45.639 pretty common for these guys. We went to Africa and we saw penguins in 461 00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:49.199 Africa. Africa. Pee were in Africa, but they Oh my gosh, 462 00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:52.360 they're so adorable. And Penny is twenty years old. How long do these 463 00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:57.079 penguins usually live? So typically we say wildlife span is about ten to fifteen 464 00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:01.119 years. But when they live here with us and they have no predators and 465 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:05.559 unlimited food and free healthcare, they can live a lot longer than that. 466 00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.719 So she We often get birds into their twenties and late twenties, even to 467 00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:14.519 their early thirties. And our penguins mate for life. Is that true? 468 00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:21.440 So we say they're like monogamish. They tend to have one partner at one 469 00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:23.599 time. Oh okay, So she does have a boyfriend. His name is 470 00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:28.679 Pete. They're very cute together. They've been together for a number of years. 471 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.159 I love it. How many penguins do you have at Saworld? So 472 00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:36.199 we take care of over three hundred penguins at Penguin Encounter. We have eight 473 00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:39.159 different species of penguins that live with us at SeaWorld. Two of them are 474 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:44.559 temperate species, so our magellanics and our Humboldt species. Okay, and do 475 00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.639 they all hang out together or do you have to keep the different species separated. 476 00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:51.280 We have a mixed species exhibit in our Antarctic exhibit. So if you 477 00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:54.360 go inside Penguin encounter, there's six different Antarctic species of penguins that live all 478 00:35:54.440 --> 00:36:00.199 together, and then our two temperate species live outside, just single species. 479 00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:05.400 Okay. And so by going to SeaWorld, are you helping the rescue and 480 00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:09.000 rehabilitation efforts? Yes, every single visit helps their wild counterparts, and then 481 00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:14.480 you get to meet some really amazing creatures just like Penny here. Absolutely. 482 00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:17.719 And if you haven't been to SeaWorld for a while, it's a beautiful summer, 483 00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:22.039 maybe you should just head on down. And when can we go to 484 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:23.920 SeaWorld? We're open every day, right, Yeah, three hundred and sixty 485 00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:28.880 five days a year, so you can see us whenever you feel like it. 486 00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:31.079 We're gonna be there and you can come meet all of our animals. 487 00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:34.639 Okay, and what are some of the other animals? Again, I haven't 488 00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:37.119 been to SeaWorld for a few years now, and now I'm like going, 489 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:38.960 Oh my god, I love the penguins. I gotta go back.
