WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:04.200 Hey, it's Jennifer Jones Lee. You're listening to KFI, a M six 2 00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:10.759 forty wake up call on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You are halfway to 3 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:17.000 the weekend already. Here's Jennifer Jones Lee with your Wednesday morning wake up call. 4 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:29.280 Rats. So I start out this morning's broadcast. So I'm in the 5 00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:33.920 parking garage. And from the parking garage you take an elevator up to the 6 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.799 building. Okay, well, I forgot something in my car, so I 7 00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.079 had to go back to my car, and then I come back get the 8 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:47.679 elevator and I go upstairs. And as I'm walking across kind of the little 9 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:59.119 courtyard area, I guess rats. They're fine and they don't scare me like 10 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:06.120 bunnies. But nobody wants to see rats in the four o'clock hour, you 11 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:11.000 know, I'm just saying, creep me out. And you guys, literally 12 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.640 it's like, I don't even know, fifty steps or something like that, 13 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.840 and I took it as though I was under attack. So there was a 14 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:25.200 scurry from the rats, but there was also a scurry from me. And 15 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:26.959 then I go to like, you have to use your badge to get into 16 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.640 the building. Then I'm kind of freaked out. So it was like two 17 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.719 badge passes, like oh finally, okay, there we go. And then 18 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.480 I ran in the building as though somehow I had just taken cover. I 19 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:45.519 was under attack anyway, I guess you just don't expect that. Let's put 20 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.239 it that way. I hope you're having a great morning and that you are 21 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.239 not attacked by rats, which I wasn't. They were far away. Just 22 00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:00.120 nobody wants to see him that early. I good morning, I'm jet for 23 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.040 Jones Lee. This is your wake up call. Some of the stories we're 24 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.840 watching in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Did you hear about this? 25 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.319 Last night? At least three people have been arrested after a pride protest outside 26 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:15.479 a school board meeting for Glendale School District. Flying the flag in OC has 27 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.800 dominated a motion to allow only country, state, and federal flags to fly 28 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.879 on government buildings. Now, I am going to give you what I think 29 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:34.000 could be the reason for the highlighting of pride, whatever it happens to be 30 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:38.039 target having it in their stores, flags, you know, education in schools 31 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.919 or something. I'm wondering if there is one single thing that's behind it, 32 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.800 we'll talk about that and Dolly, as though I couldn't love you more, 33 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:53.199 Dolly Parton is now donating free books to millions of kids across California. We're 34 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.000 gonna talk with ABC's Inez Delakutera in just a few minutes about that major damn 35 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:02.360 collapse in southern Ukraine. So you've got Ukraine blaming Russia, Russia blaming Ukraine. 36 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:07.319 Who cares whose fault it is? We have a broken dam that is 37 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:13.280 not only flooding villages and endangering crops, but it's threatening the drinking water on 38 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.080 both sides. So whoever did it just screwed themselves as well. So we'll 39 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.800 get into that with her in just a few minutes, but let's start with 40 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.240 some of these stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. At 41 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.560 least three people have been arrested following pride protests outside of a school board meeting 42 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.199 for Glendale School District. Punches were thrown and police with riot gear were called 43 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:36.199 in to break up the fight. Last night, the school board was set 44 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.879 to vote on a measure recognizing June as Pride month. Now, this parent 45 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:45.280 says the tension only hurts the students. I think when the conversation turns violent, 46 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:52.599 school board members resign teachers, schools fail. It is true police had 47 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:58.879 to divide the LGBTQ supporters and the protesters. Members of conservative groups say California's 48 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.280 curriculum on GBTQ issues violates their rights as parents. The LA School Board has 49 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:10.639 approved a resolution to allow schools to acknowledge Pride Month and the LGBTQ community. 50 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:15.639 The motion also encourages schools to celebrate the contributions of the LGBTQ community. Board 51 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:20.920 member Nick Melvoine says reading books about different types of families to kids doesn't expose 52 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:26.079 children. Instead, it teaches them about life and about how some kids have 53 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.480 two dads like my niece and nephew, who in my brother and his husband 54 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.040 have the best parents imaginable. The board unanimously passed the motion yesterday, saying 55 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:39.600 it fully endorses the resolution and wants all students to feel safe in LA. 56 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:44.439 Chris Adler Kai News flying the Pride flag in OC has dominated a motion to 57 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.519 allow only country, state, and federal flags to fly on government buildings. 58 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.480 It's certainly not the right decision. At the beginning of Pride Month, Supervisor 59 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:56.800 Katrina Fully says The word indivisible in the Pledge of Allegiance is supposed to mean 60 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.560 the country is united. This Pride flag is a representation of that, especially 61 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.319 right now at a time in our community. Supervisor Don Wagner characterized the word 62 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:11.879 indivisible a bit differently. The word is not division, The word is not 63 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.480 pick a favorite group and let a government fly a flag. The motion passed 64 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.360 three to two yesterday to only allow county, state and federal flags in Orange 65 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.439 County. Corbin Carson k if I News and in just a second, I 66 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:29.720 want to talk about what I think might be the reason that Pride Month in 67 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.920 LGBTQ issues all of a sudden are coming up, like why didn't this happen 68 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.600 last year? Why didn't this happen years before? I think there might be 69 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:46.439 one thing that sort of highlighted or escalated the controversy, which whatever, I 70 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.240 don't get it, but I just think that there's one thing to get involved 71 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.480 with. Nick Paliachuini saved me here for a second. And by the way, 72 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:59.439 I'm sorry that I disappointed you this month. Robonta right, he's got 73 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.439 stuff to say, but so do you. So I apologize for apologize. 74 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.839 I'm just giving you a bad time because you're the girl from reading California who's 75 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.240 at home on the range and a home on the far. You're the one 76 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.639 terrified of rabbits and rodents. No, they can go away. I'll take 77 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.720 my donkeys and the lama and the horses all day long. I'll even go 78 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.519 in the barn where I know the rats are, but they stay away from 79 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.000 me. I feel like because they know that I'm I have issues with them. 80 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.240 I got you so, yes, I would have. Here's my issue. 81 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.000 If there was a rodent flag, it would not fly at my truth. 82 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.759 Yes, God bless America and as de la Kuta, good morning to 83 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.959 you. Can you give us first an update on the situation with that damn 84 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.600 break in Ukraine? How bad is it when it comes to the people who 85 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.600 live in the surrounding areas? Good morning, yeah, I mean really a 86 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:56.639 dramatic rupture there of the Kakova damn. This is Ukraine's the largest reservoir that 87 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.079 was damaged yesterday. It's unclear just what happened and then who is to blame. 88 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.000 Russian officials are pointing the finger at Ukraine, and Ukraine says it was 89 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:10.160 Russian showing that caused the dam to break, so unclear who is actually responsible, 90 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.480 but it is a very dramatic situation. We're seeing tariffying images of water 91 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.680 kind of continuing to rise, and we know at least sixteen thousand people are 92 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:25.879 without homes right now. Sixteen thousand homes have been damaged. Ukrainian President Lens 93 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.319 keep saying tens of thousands are also without drinking water, and there are some 94 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.279 people missing. According to Ukrainian officials, at least seven people are currently unaccounted 95 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.800 for, and the fear is that the damage will continue to rise and that 96 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.199 these numbers will continue to rise. As the number of missing who will continue 97 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.600 to rise, the number of damage homes will continue to rise. We are 98 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.560 expecting the water to continue rising. It's really a dramatic situation and also worrying 99 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.680 in the sense that there's a there's a feeling, I think in Ukraine right 100 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.199 now that if the Russians, if it is the Russians that are behind this, 101 00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.920 because this is the damage in a Russian occupied area, so there's a 102 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.959 feeling it could have been Ukrainian shelling, but if it is the Russians that 103 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:07.000 are behind this, there's a feeling that the Russians are kind of escalating the 104 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:13.040 war here and really going after civilians in kind of maybe more unconventional ways, 105 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.720 And so I know there's renewed concerns when it comes to the Zapparisian nuclear power 106 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.879 plant as well. How to fear that the Russians could go after that message 107 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.439 And I know that this all happened on the day that there were allegations that 108 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.759 Ukraine was going to start it's counteroffensive against Russia. So it kind of makes 109 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.080 sense that if you know, Russia wanted to play hardball, it would do 110 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.240 its attack first. The other thing that I'm curious about though, is this 111 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.720 in no way, no matter who is responsible for it is good for them 112 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.679 because it damaged the water supply for both sides. Having said that, you're 113 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.080 screwing your own people when it comes to drinking water. If in fact you're 114 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.840 the one who did this, well that's right now, that's absolutely right. 115 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:56.399 It's not just the people that are in accounted for. It's not just the 116 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.919 destroyed homes. It's also, like you say, the drinking water, it's 117 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.759 also crops that are being damaged. And we know Ukraine is the world's uh, 118 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.759 you know, bread basket. Um, we talked a lot about that. 119 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.679 So yeah, it's this is this is hurting me the civilian population again, 120 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.960 you know, this was a region that was annexed, or Russia claims 121 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.200 to have annexed. It's not being fully controlled by Russia. Um, but 122 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:26.080 so there are you know, likely pro Russian residents living there who are who 123 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.720 are going to be hurt by this as well. When it comes to now 124 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.600 the fight between the two sides. Have we seen an escalation by either side 125 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.240 following this attack, you know, like in other words, it's been ramped 126 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.559 up because they're angry about what happened in the Dam. Yeah, and I 127 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.679 think we're gonna we're gonna continue. We're likely going to see an escalation going 128 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.080 forward. I think both sides. It's a very tense situation in Ukraine right 129 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.159 now because, like you say, there's this uh counter offensive that's set to 130 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.080 start any day now according to what Ukrainian officials have said, and and we 131 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.519 know the Russians have been using for this counter offensive, So I think, 132 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.440 you know, it's a time situation we're seeing. Yeah, a lot of 133 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.720 back and forth here. We saw drone attacks recently on Russia that was also 134 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.320 unusual kind of a turning point in the war. Ukraine is now going to 135 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.679 be getting fighter jets from the West. That's also going to be as something 136 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.600 to keep an eye on. So lots of new developments here in Ukraine, 137 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.120 and I think you know, sadly we're going to be in for a lot 138 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.639 of back and forth this summer. I think you're right. And as thank 139 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.360 you so much for your time this morning and for explaining what's the latest. 140 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.360 I appreciate it. Thank you, see you later, ABC's and as de 141 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:39.919 la kutera. What a freaking mess. That's your quote for the morning. 142 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.399 By the way, what a freaking mess. More than one hundred La City 143 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.840 firefighters have been working to put out a two story fire in Lincoln Heights. 144 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.879 Officials say the fire escalated to a major emergency as the fire spread to a 145 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.759 building that was home to an event planning business. Firefighters responded to the thirteen 146 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.840 five hundred square foot building just for one thirty this morning. The La Kenny 147 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.480 DA's office is quitting Twitter. The District Attorney's office has announced it will no 148 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.960 longer post news or other content on Twitter, citing unchecked vitriol on the social 149 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.039 media platform. A statement released yesterday, says comments made on the DA's office 150 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.679 Twitter page have the potential to harm members of the community, and that the 151 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.559 rise in criticism of marginalized communities, false information, and other issues on Twitter 152 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.039 has left the office with no other choice. The DA's office says it will 153 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.879 continue to post on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn. Amy King KF 154 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:39.120 I knew. Okay, So here is my guests as to why things have 155 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:45.240 gotten so controversial when it comes to LGBTQ. So this is Pride Month, 156 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.879 and the one thing that I started thinking was, Okay, why this year 157 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.480 as opposed to any other year, Why is everybody freaking out this year? 158 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.679 So a couple of things. I think that when you're bringing a different curriculum 159 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.279 into schools, no matter what it is, you are going to have parents 160 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:07.000 who are upset. But I can't help but wonder if bud Light is not 161 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:16.000 slightly responsible in the sense of it brought to light a transgender actress, Dylan 162 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:22.080 mulvaney and bringing her into the spotlight. Bud Light has had whoa a lot 163 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:28.320 of backlash from that, But last year this wasn't an issue. Any year 164 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.559 before we've had Pride months. It wasn't an issue, but they put this 165 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.559 ad out there, all of a sudden, people get upset, and now 166 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:41.919 it's like they're taking sides almost right. And so I find what I find 167 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.519 so interesting about this is what I'm saying, is this bud Light ad, 168 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:52.480 which I'm sure had the intentions of being inclusive, right and promoting diversity and 169 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.639 that kind of thing. They had every good intention. But then when you 170 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.320 have protests of something like that, sometimes anything that has you know, best 171 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.320 intentions or whatever best laid plans, then you have protests that make it almost 172 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.639 bad and divisive and whatever. It's just I have no good answer for this, 173 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.840 but I'm just wondering if that's not why so many people are so touchy 174 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:20.200 right now about that, if it was in fact this bud Light add that 175 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.919 started all this controversy, and I feel like Hasan has made people take sides, 176 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.720 and so now anything that comes up that is not what you believe in, 177 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:35.240 you have to protest it. I don't understand that. I'm not that 178 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.919 guy. I'm not a protester. My thing has always been you do you. 179 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.919 I don't know how I would feel if I was a parent. I 180 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:43.679 guess I'm not so I'm not gonna, you know, weigh in on that. 181 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.399 I have no idea. But when it comes to everything else with the 182 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:54.399 commercial whatever, who cares with Pride Month? You don't like it, Okay, 183 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.480 don't celebrate it. But I the way that I just feel is just 184 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:05.720 what tired of the drama and the controversy and the divisiveness. Yet we all 185 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.559 just get along. Restaurant owners in La are a step closer to playing music 186 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:15.240 at their outdoor dining areas. The City Council committee approved updates to its elf 187 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:20.320 fresco rules. It also allows alcohol purchases at the outdoor spaces. Music is 188 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.399 allowed as long as people can still talk over it. Any violations would be 189 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.320 enforced by the LAPD. The vote advances the proposal to the full Council for 190 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.080 consideration in the future. We're gonna talk with CNBC's Jane Wells in just a 191 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:39.360 second about ports, Starbucks and the surprising booming economy of a place that's extremely 192 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.120 near and dear to my heart. So that's all coming up. But in 193 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.600 the meantime, the man who has freaking connections and got to try the Apple 194 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:52.360 thirty five hundred dollars VR headset it's Kafis Tech reporter Rich Demero. You can 195 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.440 hear them Rich on Tech eleven to two on Saturday's Rich good morning, Good 196 00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.559 morning to Jennifer. I'm so jealous. How was it? It is incredible. 197 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.240 This is something that is completely different, completely new, and yeah, 198 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.279 there's been other VR headsets on the market, but Apple of course took this 199 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:16.120 idea and really ran with it. I watched Avatar in three D. I 200 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:22.120 facetimed with someone in a virtual space. I meditated in the middle of nowhere. 201 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.639 I had a bear like literally and a dinosaur up to my face. 202 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.960 I mean, it's incredible. Okay, so I've done Oculus before. Tell 203 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.559 me how it differs for anybody who have tried like the VR because I thought 204 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.120 Oculus was amazing. I mean I did some I think I did a tour 205 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.679 of Lake Tahoe. Yeah, that's what I did, and it was amazing 206 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.000 and it was beautiful and it really made you feel like it was there. 207 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.759 How did Apple up its game compared to other ones that are out there. 208 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.240 I think the biggest difference is that when you put it on, I was 209 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.039 in the same room that I was in. So when you put on an 210 00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.440 Oculus you're instantly transported somewhere else. And when you put this on, you're 211 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.159 just in your living room and you can see everything around you. And then 212 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:08.559 you start putting windows in front of you that are sort of semi transparent or 213 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.480 you can, you know, just arrange them anywhere you want, so you're 214 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.679 in your space. And then, Jennifer, this is the best part. 215 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.840 There's a little dial on the top. You can dial out reality, so 216 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.639 if you want to get rid of the space around you, you just sort 217 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.240 of dial it down. And then the other cool thing is, let's say 218 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.720 you're watching a movie and you know someone comes into the room to say something 219 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:33.080 to you. The device uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to recognize that that's 220 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.559 a person and they will actually sort of break through whatever you're watching, so 221 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.559 you can see their face on your screen. Oh okay, that is very 222 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.480 cool. Okay, And you can walk around. I mean it's really easy. 223 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:45.600 Like I was just walking around the room I was in. I could 224 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.240 see my feet, I could see my hands. I mean, it really 225 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:53.080 did feel like an extension of reality, but with a virtual world placed on 226 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.559 top of it. Okay, so when you were talking about the room itself, 227 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.879 was it almost heightened in the way that you could see things. Did 228 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.799 it make it make things clearer? I guess, or or maybe a little 229 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:10.799 more I don't amplified. No. I think that's what was so interesting about 230 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.599 it is that it looks just like the room I was in, except you 231 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:18.160 can start placing digital like a giant TV screen in front of you, or 232 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:21.240 you can have a FaceTime floating in front of you, or you can be 233 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:25.400 looking at your pictures and swiping through them. That's the other thing they really 234 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.759 nailed here, Jennifer, is the gestures. So there's no almost no learning 235 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.000 curve whatsoever. You know those movies where you kind of swipe through things, 236 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.079 you know on these virtual screens. Yeah, that's kind of what you do. 237 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.079 You just pinch your fingers together, you swipe something to the left, 238 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.480 you swipe it to the right, you move it around. There's no controllers. 239 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:47.920 There's so many sensors and cameras on this thing. It's just amazing that 240 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:51.759 you can look down at your own hands and feet and see them, and 241 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.400 you can just as easily look at a giant computer screen and work on it. 242 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:59.440 Okay, here's my issue with it. The price tag only cow I 243 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.039 don't care how great it is. I think few of us probably have thirty 244 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.000 five hundred bucks sitting around. No, absolutely so, I mean I've already 245 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:08.720 done the math. I'm saving up one hundred and thirty three dollars a week 246 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:12.960 for the next twenty nine weeks so i can purchase this when it comes out 247 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.799 in January. We don't know when this is going to arrive, but yes, 248 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:21.480 the price is very expensive. I am not recommending that anyone purchase this. 249 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.400 This is a very early product. I think it's for early adopters. 250 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:29.200 I think it's for developers. I think there's also going to be hundreds of 251 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.720 new businesses that are built upon this new technology, just like the iPhone app 252 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.440 store made a lot of millionaires saying things going to happen when someone comes up 253 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.720 with an app for this new device as well. So if you're interested in 254 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:44.279 the whole new business, maybe that's something you want to purchase as an investment. 255 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.319 But you know, look, the reality is this is something that's new. 256 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.279 It's going to be expensive. Yes, the price will come down over 257 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.759 time, but at the forefront, at the outset, it's going to be 258 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.839 very very pricey for just a select few to be able to get Okay, 259 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.640 let's talk about other things that Apple has introduced new features to iOS. I 260 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.200 get a little like, oh no, anytime that you have to update your 261 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:07.279 phone, Yes, that's great, and yes you usually have new things and 262 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.079 it gets rid of bugs or whatever, but it also usually screws me up, 263 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.519 like I have to learn something new again. Yeah. Usually it changes 264 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.759 a couple of key things. Yea, now where is that now? Right? 265 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.200 Right? But a couple of new features. I really like number one 266 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.839 contact posters. You can now customize the way you look when you call someone 267 00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:30.079 else, so what shows on their screen instead of just your phone number will 268 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.920 be like your picture or whatever you want to put on there. Another feature 269 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.759 that's really cool is this bump feature. So basically, instead of exchanging phone 270 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.039 numbers with someone by typing into their phone or whatever, you just take two 271 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.920 iPhones or an iPhone and Apple Watch. You move them close to each other 272 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:48.160 and you can exchange contact information, which is really handy. Yeah, and 273 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.240 then there's this check in feature, Jennifer, which is good for safety. 274 00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.480 So before you leave a bar or a restaurant or anywhere, you can check 275 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:59.519 in with a friend and when you get home or to whatever location you decide 276 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:03.480 is safe. Your phone will automatically notify them if you don't reach that destination 277 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:08.440 in a reasonable amount of time, your contact will get more information about you, 278 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:11.359 like where you last were, the route you took, if you have 279 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.119 any battery left on your phone, things like that. Okay that actually I 280 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.000 wish that I did have that update when I went to my class reunion, 281 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:21.960 because we all sat there all weekend and it was like, Okay, I'm 282 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:23.720 gonna call you, so you have my contact information, or hey, put 283 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.440 your number in my phone, or then a lot of times, you know, 284 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.119 after we'd be at the bars or something. You know, we're putting 285 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.599 everybody in ubers. Everybody's got their thing. But it was literally, okay, 286 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.759 text me when you get home. Then if I didn't hear from somebody, 287 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:38.200 I'm texting them like, hey, did you make it home? Yeah? 288 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.000 Because they always forget you always look, we've all done this. You 289 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.680 forget to text when you get home because you're so tired you just want to 290 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.440 go. Yes, that's exactly. And that's one of my girlfriends. I'm 291 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.359 texting her like four times and she goes, oh, literally she goes, 292 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:53.279 I passed out, and I go, that's why I was like nervous about 293 00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:59.240 you of course though. Anyway, Rich You're amazing. I love you and 294 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:03.119 I will talk to you in the future. Jennifer, I'm gonna miss you 295 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:07.039 so much. This has been fantastic. You have been amazing for the last 296 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.680 couple of years. I'm gonna miss you. I love you more. And 297 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.319 thanks for everything that you did here on wake up Call. You did a 298 00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:15.480 great job. Oh my gosh, I couldn't have done it without you. 299 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.480 You're part of the team. Love you. Thanks, Jennifer. I'll talk 300 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:23.680 to you soon. Bye, Riche, Bye Ktla is Rich tomorrow And if 301 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:30.319 you're going wait what check out my social media. I can't do it on 302 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:37.759 the air right now. I can't because I cry, so I can't Jennifer 303 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:44.680 Jones Radio on Instagram and you can catch me Jennifer Jones Radio on Facebook. 304 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.559 We're gonna leave it at that. At least three people were arrested last night 305 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:53.039 following pride protests outside a school board meeting for Glendale School District. I got 306 00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.200 an alert on my phone breaking news. I'm at dinner last night, and 307 00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.640 I'm like, what in the world, out of date called a shelter in 308 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:07.720 place for the school board meeting. What is going on? Can we not 309 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.200 be civil? Can we not be civilized? People apparently not flying the Pride 310 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.759 flag. ANOC has dominated a motion to allow only county, state, and 311 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.640 federal flags to fly on government buildings. And God bless you, Dolly Parton. 312 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:25.079 She is donating more free books to millions of kids across California. CNBC 313 00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.799 is Jane Wells. You can follow her on social media at Jane Wells. 314 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.440 It's ports, Starbucks in the booming economy. Oh my, Jane, good 315 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.279 morning, good morning. Dolly Parton is a living saint. Oh she is. 316 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:41.000 She is a national treas No, she is a worldwide treasure. She 317 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.839 is. She is Saint Dolly. If I could be somebody in my life, 318 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.680 two people, I would be Jane Wells or Dolly Parton. Oh my 319 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.480 gosh, well there you go. I would be jj L and just jj 320 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.000 L. Oh Man, you're the best. Jane. Can we talk about 321 00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.400 the ports? What were you doing at the ports this week? Well, 322 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:02.200 it's not at the port right now, all the way up and down the 323 00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:06.880 coast because these dock workers have now been working without a new contract for almost 324 00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:11.880 a year and negotiations. I guess I stalled because they've started to raise the 325 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.319 temperature and with some potential work slowdowns. It's hard to tell. The unions 326 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:19.680 not talking, but the management side, which are the shipper and terminal operators, 327 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:25.400 are blaming dock workers for not showing up for work sometimes or red tagging 328 00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:30.920 equipment unnecessarily so to take it out for maintenance and slow operations down boat this 329 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.920 morning, the port of Oakland may remain closed. There are reports up there 330 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.000 that a crane operator was found dead. So Oakland already shut down Friday when 331 00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.160 enough dock workers didn't show up, and it may remain closed today. CNBC 332 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:48.319 is reporting that rail shipments from Denver to ports of Los Angeles on Union Pacific 333 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.599 have been halted so that shippers can start finding other ports to send them to 334 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.559 rather than here. I mean, we've got there's forty five commercial ships on 335 00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.319 their way to LA right now, and that I'll get here in the next 336 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:04.319 two weeks. A lot of them have holiday goods already back to school. 337 00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:10.880 Sure, And the problem is Jennifer, that all this is happening as West 338 00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.759 Coast ports have continued to see cargo volumes drop because shippers are kind of sick 339 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.920 of it, and they've been rerouting stuff to the East Coast or other other 340 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:25.079 ways up you know, up through the Panama Canal to Houston, although the 341 00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:30.480 Panama Canal has lower water levels right now because of drought and potentially Elmno and 342 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:33.079 so they're limiting how heavy the ships are that can go through there. All 343 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.799 of this meaning it's going to be more difficult perhaps for shippers to get their 344 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:42.640 goods to you, the consumer, and those delays may cost you money. 345 00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:48.319 Okay, no, wait, seriously, you said that holiday merchandise is coming 346 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.240 in already. It is starting now certainly back to school, as you know, 347 00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:56.200 they get that stuff in early, and maybe they were even trying to 348 00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:00.119 get it in earlier this year as they did last year, because last year 349 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.160 we were still not sure if the dock workers were going to go on strike 350 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.680 or be locked out, and we're still in that situation right now. I 351 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.880 do think that's one reason why doc workers have continued to work for the most 352 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:17.279 part over the last eleven months, is because it's a lose lose for everyone 353 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:22.799 if the West Coast continues to lose shipping traffic here and cargo goes to other 354 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.519 ports. Okay, I have to talk to you about at this point, 355 00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:33.880 let's fire you cow P. I don't know that's what it just said on 356 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.839 the sheet, so I just read it. So so sorry. So I 357 00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.880 was in UM. I was in Chowchilla yesterday. How about that? UM 358 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.200 doing a story for my substack. Well Street Generals do substack dot com. 359 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:51.200 And you know, dairy farmers are under all kinds of rules and regulations. 360 00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:55.440 You got a Impreviere quality blah blah blah. So they have twenty nine dairy 361 00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:57.680 farms are now using a system, a drip system from Netafim, which is 362 00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:06.960 an Israel based irrigation company, where they take the urine runoff from all their 363 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:10.559 thousands of cows which collects in a pond, and they mix it in the 364 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:15.720 right amount with fresh water and they have an underground irrigation system. They're using 365 00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:21.839 twenty percent less water, getting thirty percent more yield on corn and some of 366 00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:26.960 the other products they're using. And it's a really really nutrient rich mix. 367 00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:33.200 Cow urine has a lot of nitrogen in it, and so they don't have 368 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.759 to buy a fertilizer, you know, I mean they got they're using what 369 00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.839 they got and it's the nice closed loop where the cows are over here and 370 00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.640 there. PA is used to help raise the corn that later goes back to 371 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:49.279 feed the cows over there. And it's a nice it's an expensive it's expensive 372 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:53.599 to do this. It's about three to five thousand dollars an anchor to acre 373 00:26:53.680 --> 00:27:00.559 to install this. But because it's agriculture shot, taxpayers are subsidized, of 374 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.359 course, about two thirds of that. So yeah, you can get grants 375 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.160 to put it in. Okay, fascinating, it's a fascinating product to I 376 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.720 hope it takes off, Okay, real quickly. Starbucks, Starbucks, all 377 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.400 right, Rich Demarro gets to try on Apple VR headsets I get to I 378 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.240 went to Kettleman City yesterday and had the new Starbucks Oliato, this oil and 379 00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:22.200 fused coffee which we talked about on the air, and I put some on 380 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.480 the air in my own coffee olive oil. I liked it. It's gotten 381 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:33.640 it's gotten mixed reviews. Yeah, I had the espresso, the shaken Ice 382 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.960 espresso, which has like toffee nut in it too. I think cover any 383 00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:42.440 olive oil ess very seeing. I will say, though, the olive oil 384 00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.599 starts to collect at the top after a while, like salad dressing and you 385 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.319 have to shake it up again to keep it going. I thought it was 386 00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:55.000 really good. Starbucks says it's one of their most exciting new launches according to 387 00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:59.000 brand Awareness. That doesn't mean sales, that just means we've all heard about 388 00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:03.039 it. They're expanding it this week to almost all Starbucks across the country. 389 00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.599 Okay, that's amazing. And then did you was it the one that's next 390 00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:11.240 to the Chevron right there by Bravo Farms? Yeah? Yeah, I've driven 391 00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.880 five five way too much lately, and I stopped at Bravo Farms for the 392 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:21.039 cheese. Oh really, Oh good store. I was wondering if I should 393 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:22.960 go on there. You should. It's got nuts and cheese and whatever. 394 00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.480 And can we finally talk about Redding, the place that is near and dear 395 00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.720 to my heart, where I will be spending a lot of time. Okay. 396 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:34.519 During the gold Rush, did you know that Redding was called poverty flats 397 00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:38.119 because it did. Yes, my grandpa told me that. Well, it's 398 00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:44.240 not poverty flats now. The Milken Institute said last year, Redding's economic climate 399 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.000 is the fourth best among US small towns on the Retard country. It made 400 00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.519 a huge leap from sixty three to number four. Only California town in the 401 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:57.200 top ten. It's got a diverse economy. Wages are going up now, 402 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:02.000 crime is going up, you know, take care of yourself. There's yeah, 403 00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:04.559 there's a it's a definitely a different vibe up there than when I was 404 00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:07.960 growing up. I was like, Hey, it's a little sketchier in some 405 00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:14.359 places. I will say, yes, but it's affordable and diverse economy, 406 00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:18.839 and it is booming Jennifer, and um, it's going to be even boomier 407 00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:25.240 shortly, Jane. I love you, you know, Jennifer. To know 408 00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.559 you is to love you. Oh my god, I love you. I 409 00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:32.160 love you too. You're gonna make me cry, all right, Jane. 410 00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:34.880 I wish I could give you a big hug. We will see each other 411 00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.119 again soon, absolutely. First off, this business is way too small. 412 00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:41.960 That's all I'm saying. We will see each other. Jane. You're amazing. 413 00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:45.400 I appreciate the opportunity to work with you all these years, and I 414 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:49.640 just adore you. Uh Okay, I'm gonna go now. Okay, me 415 00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:52.680 too, Bye, Jane, love you, Bye, see you later. 416 00:29:53.759 --> 00:30:00.279 CNBC is Jane Wells again. I will I will on the air talk about 417 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.279 it tomorrow in the meantime. And I'm not trying to get you to like, 418 00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:08.079 I'm not trying to clickbait you, but Jennifer Jones Radio on Instagram and 419 00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:12.759 Facebook, you can get a sneak peek there. Jim Ryan, good morning 420 00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:17.359 to you. This is something that we were asking our listeners to text to 421 00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:21.000 Congress, you know, text AM to five to eight eight six. I've 422 00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:25.319 heard it on every AM station from literally the southern part of the state to 423 00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:29.079 the northern part of the state. Why is it that we are having to 424 00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:33.880 debate AM radio being kept in cars and why are automakers saying we don't want 425 00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.799 to do it anymore? Well, money, obviously, Yeah, that's whatever 426 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.519 about right right, the automakers see that. You know, we're transitioning to 427 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.039 electric cars. Now, electric cars don't run on engines that start with one 428 00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.240 click of a battery that starts your starter and gets the engine going then shuts 429 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.440 itself off. No, electric cars run on batteries that are on all the 430 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.519 time, big huge batteries that fill up the back of your car or the 431 00:30:55.559 --> 00:31:00.880 mid section or the front and interfere with the signal from for AM radio. 432 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.240 So it's almost like driving through a tunnel or driving past a broadcast tower. 433 00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:08.119 You know you've done that before and you hear the static come in and then 434 00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.519 maybe you hear different voices that you hear that the interference and then it clears 435 00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:15.880 up as soon as you drive past. Well, that's what the ev makers 436 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.960 are saying is the problem with AM radio. So they'd like to leave AM 437 00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:25.319 radio out of new cars and trucks. Ford last year said, you know 438 00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:27.359 what, we're gonna put out the Ford F one fifty pickup trucks, still 439 00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.119 one of the most popular vehicles in the in the world, right, and 440 00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:36.000 they said we're gonna leave out the AM radios and started doing that. There 441 00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:38.440 was such pressure and backlash that they said, okay, fine, I mean 442 00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:42.440 the hardware is already in those trucks. Let's just push out the software updates 443 00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:48.039 and you'll have AM radio. What so, Yeah, doesn't that say that 444 00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:52.200 maybe it's not a technical or a physical problem, but not a hardware issue, 445 00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.240 but atware issue, which should be easy enough to fix. I realized 446 00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:59.359 that the battery issue. They say that the batteries in the cars, I 447 00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:02.759 guess can interfere with the AM signal, which still kind of doesn't make sense 448 00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:07.240 to me in the sense that the AM signal goes way further than the FM 449 00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.720 signal. So wouldn't you think that it was the FM signal that would first 450 00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:14.920 be impacted by the battery? Maybe not? Not really, No, I 451 00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:17.079 mean they have different properties, right, FM you can hear as you're going 452 00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:22.720 through a tunnel. AM not so much. There's just different technology from wavelengths 453 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:27.799 and different impacts from something like a big battery. So yeah, I mean, 454 00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:31.599 technically I suppose it holds water. But in terms of solving that issue, 455 00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:36.559 it seems to have already been done, either shielding the cabling or shielding 456 00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:39.480 the radio itself against magnetic interference from a big battery. But anyway, that 457 00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:45.920 the long and short here is that the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act is 458 00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:49.839 now working its way through Congress. There was a subcommittee here and yesterday and 459 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.559 a radio station owner. He has a small group of radio stations. He 460 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:59.160 testified, as did somebody from FEMA, and then someone from the auto industry 461 00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.519 to make the case. But it seems as though there's pretty broad bipartisan support, 462 00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:08.119 at least among this subcommittee for keeping AM radio and from people as diverse 463 00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:15.839 as you know, the Democrat Ed Marquis of Massachusetts and then conservative Republican Ted 464 00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:19.799 Crews of Texas. Yeah, so it seems to have united these folks. 465 00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.759 I was going to say, whoever thought those two guys would agree on anything 466 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:25.599 politics? You know what they say makes strange, bad fellow, it really 467 00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:29.039 does. Jim, thank you so much. I'll talk to you soon, 468 00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:31.960 see you later. ABC's Jim Ryan. Yeah, when do you everything? 469 00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:37.880 Marky and Crews were buddies. I wonder if afterwards they were like, Hey, 470 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:44.079 I want to go grab a beer. We can unite over this. 471 00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:52.759 What if? What if AM radio becomes like the United Nations of partisan politics. 472 00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:58.039 It's the one thing that we can all gather and agree on for the 473 00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:05.039 greater good of society. I know I can't believe it either, But what 474 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.880 a beautiful pipe dream, wouldn't it be nice? Let's get back to some 475 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:12.159 of these stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Police and 476 00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.199 Virginia say the nineteen year old who's accused of killing two people and hurting five 477 00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:21.719 outside of graduation ceremony may have known some of the people hurt. Intram Police 478 00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:25.000 Chief Rick Edwards says the alleged shooter is in custody. People should have felt 479 00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:30.639 safe at graduations. It's just incredibly tragic that someone decided to bring a gun 480 00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:37.480 to this incident and rain terror on our community. Investigators are trying to determine 481 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.559 a motive. Police say at least twelve others were hurt or treated for anxiety 482 00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:47.639 because of the mayhem yesterday. I can absolutely see that happening. Can you 483 00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:55.320 imagine. Lawmakers in Sacramento have suggested a constitutional amendment to pass a previously failed 484 00:34:55.320 --> 00:35:00.519 proposed fental law, Alexandra's Law. It's called would War convicted funtal dealers. 485 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:06.440 If they continue dealing and someone is killed, they could be charged with murder. 486 00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:09.960 Assemblyman Joe Patterson said yesterday, lawmakers will continue pushing for the law, 487 00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:14.920 and we're going to bring it back every single year until we have leaders that 488 00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:20.360 have courage to hold people accountable that are poisoning our residence in our community. 489 00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:24.519 The legislature will have to first approve the amendment before it gets on the ballot. 490 00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:34.920 You come on, just what I've got to get myself to you, 491 00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:51.280 just like you've done thing and my heart. Dolly parton National Treasure Worldwide Jewel 492 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:57.559 is donating more free books to millions of kids across California. This is all 493 00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:01.400 part of her Imagination Library. It's been setting books to kids across the country. 494 00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:06.960 But this program is already active in thirty counties in California. A bill 495 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:10.599 signed by Governor knew Some last October helped to expand Parton's project to cover the 496 00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:15.360 state's fifty eight counties by twenty twenty eight. The free books are mailed directly 497 00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:21.400 to the child's home at no cost to their family. And here's the best 498 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:24.840 part. You get to register online. And what I like about this is 499 00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:30.119 that if you are maybe a low income family, maybe your child doesn't have 500 00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:35.480 access to a lot of the things that maybe kids who have more money or 501 00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:39.079 their families have more money do. You can just register online, so nobody 502 00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:45.119 knows. Nobody knows that you got a free book, nobody knows that you're 503 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:51.280 in a bad financial situation. All that happens is your kid gets a book. 504 00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:57.599 Parton's Library has now donated more than two hundred million books to date. 505 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.840 Hey remember that time that we talked about that surfer who was attacking people while 506 00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:07.840 he was drunk and naked. Michet walks in on that one. There's this 507 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:13.440 surfer who has gone to jail for attacking people while he was naked and drunk 508 00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:19.280 in an area that's home to Indonesia's deeply conservative Muslim community. I laugh, 509 00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:24.079 because what could go wrong? This guy is getting deported to Australia. Officials 510 00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:30.079 say he agreed to apologize and pay compensation. He was arrested in April when 511 00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:35.199 cops accused him of going on a drunken rampage. An immigration official says the 512 00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:39.920 surfer walked free yesterday with clothes on. So catweather from KFI. We do 513 00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:43.920 have some mist and drizzle out there this morning. Was it raining, Michelle? 514 00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.320 When you came in? It was so I let the dogs out this 515 00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:51.360 morning and Betty comes in and she's wet, And then I walked outside and 516 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:53.199 it had I mean, it was more than just mister drizzle. It was 517 00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:57.920 definitely slick out there on the roads. But anyway, so you can expect 518 00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:01.079 that today temperatures are going to be in the mid sixties to the low seventies 519 00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:05.719 again, and it looks like we'll have partly cloudy conditions in the afternoon. 520 00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:08.079 And that's basically your forecast for the rest of the work week, we lead 521 00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:13.239 local live from the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom.
