We're going to talk more 27 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.360 about that in just a few minutes with an ABC correspondent. Let's start with 28 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.960 some of the stories coming out of the KFY twenty four hour news room. 29 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.120 The La County Sheriff's Department says it's trying to figure out why an employee killed 30 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.319 two residents of a care home facility in Diamond Bar. Jepanties were called to 31 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.120 the scene on Sapphire Canyon Road, and when they arrived, they say they 32 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.919 found two elderly women dead in the same room. Sources with knowledge that the 33 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.680 story say a caretaker called nine one one Saturday morning and may have admitted to 34 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:37.319 killing the women. Some reports said the women had been shot, but sources 35 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.680 say the two were bound, possibly gagged, and then suffocated with bags over 36 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.680 their heads. Sheriff's investigators would not confirm the report, but did say they 37 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:49.280 arrested John Chun Lee, a night shift nurse. Investigators say the homes occupied 38 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.879 by Korean Alzheimer patients. Steve Gregory k if I News. A mother in 39 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.319 Adalanto has been arrested on suspicion of murdering and torturing her seven month old. 40 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.599 The San Bernardino County's Department says deputies responded Saturday morning. They say they found 41 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.680 a baby with trauma consistent with child abuse and not breathing. The infant was 42 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.919 taken to the hospital, where doctors pronounced the seven month old dead. Twenty 43 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.840 dogs rescued from China's meat trade are expected to arrive in LA to find their 44 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:21.599 forever homes. The rescued dogs include sixteen Golden Retrievers, two Corgies, one 45 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.000 poodle, and one malamute. The rescue was a team effort between different animal 46 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:30.199 advocacy groups, including the SPCA. International. Advocates say many of the dogs 47 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:35.560 rescued in China are pets who are stolen and then shipped off to slaughterhouses. 48 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.639 Once they fly into Lax Tuesday, the dogs will be sent to new homes 49 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:44.439 throughout the US. Chris Adler KFI News, the person accused of shooting and 50 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.719 killing five people and hurting seventeen others at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs is 51 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:53.080 expected to plead guilty. The alleged shooter could get a life sentence in prison. 52 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.879 Family members and survivors are expected to speak at the hearing. The accused 53 00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.680 shooter, who is non binary and uses they and then prone, has been 54 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.439 arrested over a year before the attack for threatening their grandparents and vowing to become 55 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.439 the next mass killer. Now, in a couple of minutes, we are 56 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.319 going to actually let's talk to ABC Shannon Crawford. Right now, we have 57 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.599 a compelling story over the weekend that happened the first topic of the day today. 58 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.759 Actually it's the rebellion from Russian mercenaries against the Kremlin and Moscow. The 59 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:24.000 short lived threat over the weekend is having a ton of fallout around the world 60 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.360 today. It was the topic of the Sunday yacht shows for sure, ABC. 61 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.720 Shannon Crawford, welcome to Wake Up Call, Thank you very much, 62 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.319 And yes, officials are still trying to make heads or tails of what happened 63 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:39.680 over the weekend. Really a whirlwind forty eight hours that saw Vladimi and Putin 64 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:44.120 faced his first real threat to his grasp on power in Russia in his over 65 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:48.720 two decades of rule. And what is Secretary of Staint Anthony blinkoln and other 66 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:53.360 world leaders taking about this. I mean, I just said that the real 67 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:57.480 cracks apparently in the Kremlin. But it's been kind of like tight information coming 68 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.800 out of both sides right now, that's right. There still a lot of 69 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:05.279 mystery to this. We don't We haven't seen Vladimir Putin since the apparent true 70 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:10.399 steal was made with even he progoes him. He's a leader of the Wagner 71 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.399 group that private army you mentioned and from the US side. From the Western 72 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.600 side, they've been very muted. One. They are very careful. They 73 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.439 don't want to appear to be weighing in on either side, supporting either side, 74 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:25.079 because you know, both the Wagner Group and the Kremlin are seen as 75 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:29.759 bad actors by the US, but they also want to encourage Ukraine, push 76 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.560 Ukraine to do what they can while so many of these mercenary troops are away 77 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.680 from their posts to make progress in their counter offensive, which is now in 78 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.040 its third week, and we know whether they're able to do that. There 79 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.279 have been some initial signs that yes, they are, especially in the bach 80 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.120 Moot region, they've been able to capitalize on this. But there's also an 81 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:53.600 underlying concern that Vladimir Putin, as we faced this really unprecedented circumstance, that 82 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.959 he could lash out, that he could take dramatic steps that so far he 83 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.639 has been you know, has restrained himself from doing in Ukraine or elsewhere. 84 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:09.120 So Shannon wasn't the leader of the Wagner Group or is or was a crony 85 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.439 of Vladimir Putin. So is that adding to some of the mystery as to 86 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.439 why this may have transpired. That's right, he was a longtime ally of 87 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.959 Vladimir Putin, who's called Putin Chef because he, you know, would make 88 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.160 anything happen for him, he would dish it up. But basically what his 89 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:30.240 issue was with the Kremlin's top military brass, that's Progosion took issue with how 90 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.800 they were running things in Ukraine. Specifically, he said that, you know, 91 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.360 his men were really his mercenaries, were being thrown into the meat grinder. 92 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.319 So over the last couple of months he's become more and more vocal with 93 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.800 that kind of criticism. So this was a kind of a long festering disagreement 94 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.839 that really just bumped up, and the US officials said it one side, 95 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:55.000 It wasn't surprising because they've been tracking this, this conflict, this you know, 96 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.879 war of words so far. But I don't think anybody really expected it 97 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.040 to escalate just as rapidly as it did. Yeah, and rapidly. He 98 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:08.120 moved quickly to the Wagner group moved quickly towards Moscow. I mean apparently that's 99 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.439 they'd stopped just short of about one hundred and twenty miles short of Moscow, 100 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.439 right, yes, exactly, and actually Moscow and military Moscow's military vehicles were 101 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.720 about sixty miles away, So it shows you how close we came to calamity 102 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.439 from those Progosians fighters. Yes, and he claimed to have twenty five thousand 103 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.000 men marching, so those aren't exactly verified numbers, but it just shows you 104 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.800 how truly otherworldly this is. So we're speaking with ABC Shannon Crawford about this 105 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:40.920 weekends would be rebellion in Russia. You mentioned they're the war of words that's 106 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:45.279 been going on. Some of the analysis since this weekend has been that Putin 107 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:46.959 has a bunch of yes people around him, and so he doesn't get to 108 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.600 hear the truth very often when it comes to what's happening on the ground. 109 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.519 Is this playing out at all in the war and on the ground in Ukraine, 110 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.319 That's right. I think US officials have become increasingly convinced that, you 111 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.519 know, Putin really does live in a bubble. He's not seeing the just 112 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.560 the circumstances that his fighters are facing, or the circumstances that his people are 113 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.600 facing, you know, on the streets of Russia. As you know, 114 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:16.399 sanctions and other other measures to counter Putin's aggression that really started to take effect. 115 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.199 But you know, there's still at it juries out on whether that you 116 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.240 know, the popularity switch, whether there will be any kind of you know, 117 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.839 any kind of uprising or just prevailing discontent among the Russian people. So 118 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:33.000 this really was a flashpoint when we did see Provostion kind you know, turn 119 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.960 his forces towards Moscow. But what Putin does going forward is going to be 120 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.720 very telling, you know. So far, as I said, we haven't 121 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.879 seen him in the aftermath, and you know, even his secretary of Defense 122 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:50.799 was touring what Russian media said was Ukrainian battlefield. That was unclear where exactly 123 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.759 he was when that footage was was captured. But there's been a you know, 124 00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.120 very muted response from Moscow. And I think in a way, you 125 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.360 know, dad could be telling because you know, Putin is not out there, 126 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.240 He's not you know, kind of making his case for why he is 127 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:11.559 still in control of Russia. It's something to track is whether he does ultimately 128 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.679 lash out against his military top brass and now Putin is someone who doesn't like 129 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.039 to make decisions under pressure. He doesn't want to appear reactionary. So this 130 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.080 is something that we could have to keep a close tab on for really the 131 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.200 week's end, maybe even months ahead, as the fallout from this will continue 132 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.600 to percolate. I think that's an excellent point you make about the muted response 133 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.840 from the Kremlin. I mean, if you if you were a blog poster 134 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.159 and it was anti Putin, you could wind up in the Gulag pretty quick 135 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.919 or disappeared, and that doesn't seem to be happening on this one. And 136 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.240 to just to reiterate the point, we do not know yet where you have 137 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:50.720 getting progosion of progosion is right now, right, that's right. He is 138 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.159 believed to be reported to be in Belarus. But I just want to emphasize 139 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.120 that Belarus isn't exactly you know, a safe place for him if he is 140 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.919 trying to you know, flee control of the Kremlin, flee any repercussions from 141 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:07.559 this, because really Belarus has become an extension of Russia. It's President Lukashenko. 142 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.240 He is, you know, as as much of a yes man as 143 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.240 it comes way, you know, in regards to Vladimir Putin, so he 144 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.759 will definitely take directions. Now, even though this truce had appeared that the 145 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.080 messaging at least around it was that, you know, these two mooring factors 146 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.720 were ready to move on or you know that they're ready to put this attempt 147 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.679 to coup behind them. But right now there's still a case against Progosion open 148 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.519 in Russia's judicial system that has not been closed. So you know, we're 149 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.879 still we're still waiting, and I'm wondering where this fallout is all going to 150 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.159 go because I don't think Progosion is out of the woods in any sense of 151 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.480 the term there So he could definitely still you know, face some very serious 152 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.559 repercussions. He could get out of this with his life, but it seems 153 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.440 that you know, of all analysts are in agreeans that his political future is 154 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.279 probably dead in Russia. I see anything official today from the State Department on 155 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.879 the itinerary or agenda as far as announcements or briefings, Well, there's nothing 156 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.759 official here. Secretary of b Lincoln has been you know, traveling the world. 157 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:11.799 He was in China, he was in London. He's been dialed into 158 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.600 this. We heard from him over the weekend. So right now there's nothing 159 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.519 official. We will have a briefing where hopefully we'll get some more questions at 160 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.200 least be able to take the temperature of where the US is on this and 161 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.480 really to see if you know, they do think that Ukraine can continue to 162 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.320 make some gains in this chaos, or whether Russia might you know, lash 163 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.120 out, whether there might be any new threats now. So far in Washington, 164 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.320 they've been very clear they do not see any reason to change the posture 165 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.159 towards the nuclear threat or anything else right now.

Progoshan led his 190 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.639 men the Wagner Group, into Russia, but stopped short of reading Moscow. 191 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.919 This needs to be a fluid situation. We'll have more on that all morning. 192 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.919 At five thirty ish, we're going to talk with Jack Gold. He's 193 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:45.320 a Silicon Valley and tech sector analyst. We're gonna talk about five G and 194 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.679 we're gonna talk about some consumer tech trends. Jack was on my show in 195 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.600 Silicon Valley for years and we've asked him to come back and join us for 196 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.519 this. And right now I think we're going to go ahead and we do 197 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.200 we have we don't have anybody yet. Okay, good, I'm saving this 198 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.480 one then, because we're are going to talk about connectivity rolling out. That 199 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.799 was an embargoed story. Where have more on and in just a few minutes 200 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.759 after some you know, some more headlines out of the KFI twenty four hour 201 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.600 newsroom. People traveling during their summer vacation have experienced another roadblock in the sky. 202 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.279 The FA last night forced to issue a temporary ground stop for all planes 203 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:22.000 in and out of Washington, DC area airports because of equipment problems as an 204 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.000 air traffic control facility. ABC's Derek Dennis says the groundstop lifted after a few 205 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:31.399 hours. He says the disruptions come days after a government audit found critical US 206 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.559 air traffic controller facilities face serious staffing shortages. Shouldn't be news to anybody. 207 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.919 The audit says the FAA lacks of plan to address them as well. Right 208 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.600 now, let's welcome in ABC's faith to boube. The Biden administration is going 209 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:48.320 to be rolling out and highlighting this week internet infrastructure projects. Faith. Welcome 210 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.120 to wake up call. Hey, thank you so much, Jason. Let's 211 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.879 talk about Wi Fi for the masses. Sounds like a win win. What's 212 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.759 going to be rolled out? Yeah, so, no, this is really 213 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.000 prising. But you know, according to the SCC, there are currently eight 214 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.639 point five million locations in the US that don't have internet access. That's about 215 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.879 seven percent of the country that doesn't have internet connectivity. And so the Biden 216 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.159 administration is trying to make what they're calling a once in a generation investment. 217 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.679 They're comparing this to what FDR did back in the nineteen thirties. You remember 218 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.240 that was the Rural Electrification Act, which provided electricity to almost every home in 219 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:31.200 the US. And so the Biden administration really is focusing on expanding access and 220 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:37.679 giving access in terms of Internet connectivity to everyone across the country, including US 221 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.360 territories. They say, we've reached a point where this has become a necessity. 222 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:45.720 Its Internet access is no longer a luxury. In order to go about 223 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.200 your daily life, you need some sort of Internet connectivity. And so with 224 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.200 this announcement Leader on this morning, we expect we expect to hear President Biden 225 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:58.840 and the Vice President announced those forty billion dollars towards this project. This is 226 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.080 money that will come from the bike parts in infrastructure law. This was the 227 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.720 law passed in twenty twenty one. And you know, as part of this, 228 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.879 what we're hearing so far is that the states will learn today how much 229 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:12.440 money do we get for the project and when that money will come. At 230 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:18.159 this point, administration state, including DC and Puerto Rico, they should expect 231 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.840 at least one hundred million dollars to begin with, and then the four US 232 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.360 territories will receive a minimum of twenty five million dollars each. And then of 233 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.399 course more will be added as the figure out would challenge us the space. 234 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:37.240 I appreciate the Biden administration given that that callback to FDR. I didn't personally 235 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.200 remember that Bill Handel may have anyway. Will wi FI is essential, of 236 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.159 course to the national economy moving forward? Is or it has been for a 237 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.399 while. Is the Biden administration making this part of a piece as part of 238 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.720 a larger program or rollout from the Infrastructure Act? Yeah, so this is 239 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.200 part of a three week tour that the Biden administration is going to go on. 240 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:02.000 We're talking the President himself and other administration officials will be on the road. 241 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.599 They're calling the Investing in America. They're going to spend the tour in 242 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.160 different communities across the country. They will be discussing infrastructure. They will be 243 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:14.640 discussing what they have done with infrastructure, but also what needs to be done 244 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.079 moving forward. And of course, a lot of the money will be coming 245 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.440 from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, but some of it will also come from the 246 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:23.000 American Rescue Plan and they will be highlighting a lot of that in the coming 247 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:29.359 weeks. Thank you so much for this update. When exactly does it roll 248 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:30.559 out? They're going to make the announcement this morning, you said, but 249 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:37.000 you know when. Yeah, So the announcement starts this morning. We're expecting 250 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.759 the news conference at the White House at eleven forty five Eastern time. But 251 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.680 in terms of the project as a whole, it begins as soon as possible. 252 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.839 But the final plans for each of these states who will have to be 253 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.839 approved, the target date right now is Springs twenty twenty five. Thank you 254 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.319 so much for this update, Faith, good to have you with us. 255 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.440 Hope we've been speak again soon. Yeah, thank you so much. BBC's 256 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.640 Faith of oube reminding us that Wi FI is important for the economy. We've 257 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.119 known that for a while, but now we're actually going to get some infrastructure 258 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.960 from the Infrastructure Act that passed a couple of years ago. The Biden administration 259 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.680 is on a tear this week. Apparently it's going to be it's going to 260 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.319 be a press forward announcement heavy week from the administration. Let's get some more 261 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:21.920 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. At least one person has been 262 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.240 killed and several others have been hurt in a ten car crash on the ten 263 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:29.359 in Upland, San Bernardino County Fire says the crash happened last night. The 264 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.200 HP says four or five cars were on the westbound side of the freeway when 265 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:40.039 one flipped onto the eastbound lanes. Fire officials say many drivers needed to pulled 266 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.799 out of their cars. Three cops in San Antonio, Texas have been charged 267 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.960 with murder following the shooting death of a woman who appeared to have a mental 268 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.519 health crisis Friday night. The woman spoke to police and then ran into her 269 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:53.039 apartment, then apparently threatened the officers with a hammer when they tried to force 270 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.960 their way into the apartment. The officers originally were responding to a call that 271 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.640 the woman was allegedly cutting the wires to the fire alarm of the complex. 272 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.079 When the police officers gained entry to the women's apartment, she approached them with 273 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.759 the hammer, and that's when the officers opened fire on her. San Antonio 274 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.400 police have released the body camera footage to the public. The police chief says 275 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.680 that the officer's actions were not consistent with the department's policy and training.

Officials say her body was listed as a Jane Doe until DNA identified 279 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:33.799 her earlier this spring. Officials say the woman was never reported missing. Police 280 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:37.480 said family members last had contact with her sometime during May of nineteen eighty one. 281 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:44.240 Anyone with information has been acted contact Redondo Beach Police. Cyber attacks on 282 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.839 US hospitals are on the rise, adding a layer of financial pressure onto an 283 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.319 industry that is still struggling to recover from the pandemic. Health facilities have been 284 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.759 hit with two hundred and sixty six at digital incursions, those who affected thirty 285 00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:02.240 six million people just this year and are on track to be more widespread than 286 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:07.599 twenty twenty two attacks. That's according to an advisor for American Hospital Association. 287 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.839 Cyber Raids on hospitals more than tripled in the past five years and have become 288 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.359 more sophisticated.

Lincoln says the Kremlin went from expecting an easy takeover 300 00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:11.240 in Ukraine sixteen months ago to having to defend Moscow against the Wagner Group over 301 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.759 the weekend. A new national poll shows the Republican Party is divided over former 302 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.920 President of Trump's candidacy in twenty twenty four. According to the NBC News poll, 303 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:23.359 Trump is expanding his lead over the GOP primary field, including Florida Governor 304 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:29.480 Ronda Stantis, but the survey finds half of all likely Republican voters say they 305 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:34.160 would consider another candidate.

The Furby is supporting a fresh new look and 333 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.920 it's ready to hit store shelves. The toy gained international popularity because if it's 334 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.759 adorable appearance and ability to communicate and learn, capturing the hearts of millions. 335 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.400 Toymaker Hasbro says that more than forty million Furbies were sold worldwide back in its 336 00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.920 heyday. The toy is also known as the first successful attempt to produce and 337 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.440 sell it domestically aimed robot. The revival of Ferby marks the twenty fifth anniversary 338 00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:07.519 of the toy. Hasbro says it wanted to ignite the same excitement for this 339 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:12.319 new generation of kids by harnessing Ferby's power of nostalgia while giving Jen Alpha everything 340 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:18.039 they crave. Andrew Caravella k if I News. An Amber alert has been 341 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.640 issued for a woman and a two month old girl in Lancaster. This HP 342 00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:25.680 issued the alert for La San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, San Diego and 343 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:29.880 Imperial Counties. The HP says a man who was armed and dangerous took the 344 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:33.880 woman and baby in a silver two thousand and seven buick with a license plate 345 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.160 ending in X nine four. The woman was last seen yesterday wearing a red 346 00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:44.240 and black dress, pink Schwartz and black Puma shirt. Senate Majority Leader Chuck 347 00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:48.359 Schumer has called for more safety measures for ebikes to prevent fire sparked by lithium 348 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.920 batteries. He announced twenty five million dollars in emergency funding yesterday for New York 349 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.480 City that will go towards bike charging stations. No federal regulation for church batteries. 350 00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:03.000 It's allowed cheap, faulty China made batteries to come into our country. 351 00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:08.400 Fire officials in New York City say lithium batteries have caused hundreds of fires over 352 00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:11.880 the last four years. Before we check our first traffic for the morning and 353 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.160 wake up call, there was something that came across the wire yesterday that just 354 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.359 it sounded like a wake up call kind of story, especially after the last 355 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:26.440 six minutes. Cornhole, better known as a backyard and tailgate game, as 356 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.680 attempting to go global. The American Cornhole League, Yeah, there's an American 357 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.279 Cornhole League. It started in twenty fifteen, has seen its prize money more 358 00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.880 than double every two years. In twenty nineteen, the cash prizes were at 359 00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.319 one million bucks. And two years later it's at three point three million, 360 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.039 and this year it's at eight million dollars in prize money. Now, the 361 00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:52.039 ACL, the American Cornhole League, has existing media deals with ESPN and CBS 362 00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.119 and, according to an analyst, more than twenty five sorry, two hundred 363 00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.880 and fifty thousand players across fifteen countries, and it's even had its own cheating 364 00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.000 scandal. Dig this. With billions of dollars being pumped into the sporting industry, 365 00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.960 Bloomberg News is looking at which game might be the next to explode, 366 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:14.799 and that encords includes cornhole. The ACL used revenue. ACL's revenue comes primarily 367 00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:18.640 from four avenue sponsorship, media rights, technology, and licensing. We'll have 368 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.960 to have a little bit more on the gambling scandal that sears Cornhole. Jason, 369 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.000 there's one right outside of our studios. Have you seen it. I've 370 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.400 seen it. I have not seen it used though, And it's got the 371 00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:33.799 it's got this like the the elevated thing spandex board. Yeah, it's like 372 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.119 like I'd tough to describe. It's like the same material that you used to 373 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:40.000 use as a book cover when you went to school. Oh okay, yes, 374 00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:44.720 you know it's like that stretchy spandex material. Yeah, I'm not playing 375 00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:47.559 cornhole with that. I need a solid wood board. The wood, Yeah, 376 00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:49.119 the plywood board. Right on? Do you dobble? Do you play 377 00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:52.359 corn hoole? Sometimes when I storm out of the studio where my audio doesn't 378 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:55.599 work, I go outside and play cornhole just to blow some steam. And 379 00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:57.599 then I come back in and everything's cool. So what's your preference? Do 380 00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:02.720 you prefer the springy I definitely like the I like the plywood style for sure. 381 00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:03.759 Old school. You know, I'm right there with you. You don't 382 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:06.400 want to do the Maybe we should make a team, all right, that 383 00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:08.759 sounds good. There's a there's a red board and and a blue board out 384 00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:11.519 front, and it's right in front of the Disney headquarters. Maybe we can 385 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:17.039 get oh there we all like physically outside, Yeah, it's physically outside outside 386 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:18.640 of our studios. There, it's right above the parking structure. And so 387 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.079 yeah, we can go out see if we can get Bob Iger to look 388 00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:25.119 down out of his quarter office window and come play with us. Start our 389 00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.920 eight million dollars, yeah, additions, start our own scandal when it comes 390 00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:33.000 to there you go. Jack Gold is a tech sector analyst. He's been 391 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.240 covering Silicon Valley for a long long time and talk about consumer trends, hiring 392 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:38.799 and firing and where things are going. So let's jump in, Jack. 393 00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:45.480 Chat GPT is going to be migrated into the voice slash infotainment systems for Mercedes 394 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.640 Benz vehicles. Um, is this a tip of the spear kind of situation 395 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:53.160 with chat GPT? We already had voice in our cars. So so let's 396 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.319 back up a little bit. Everyone wants to jump on the hype bandwagon, 397 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.960 right yeah, And if you're you're a high end carl like Mercedes, you 398 00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:06.440 want to be on a hype bag bandwagon early. So some of that is 399 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.799 what's going on here. The other issue, of course, is that how 400 00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:14.920 do you make chat GPT work in your car. It's not like they're going 401 00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.359 to load it into the car. They're not going to build a cloud data 402 00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.640 center under the hood, and so's there's going to be some local processing, 403 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.440 but mostly it's going to be about connectivity and connecting up to the cloud and 404 00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:29.680 being able to interact that way. So you'll give it some voice commands from 405 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.480 the car, it'll go up to the cloud do a lot of processing up 406 00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:36.079 there. And then come back down. So you've got to have a car 407 00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:40.400 that's well connected. And Mercedes, again high end car are going to be 408 00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:44.319 well connected, they're going to have five G capability built in. Fair enough, 409 00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:45.480 Jack, I don't have you for very long, So let's pivot. 410 00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:51.720 Some of the things that you've been analyzing for years is a consumer security around 411 00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:55.000 tech. And you mentioned five G in a previous part of an answer when 412 00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:59.279 we were just talking, Is there anything going on with consumer security? Five 413 00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:02.640 growled out things that we need to be updated on that we haven't been covering 414 00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:07.039 at least adequately in news. Yeah. Look, there's a lot of issues 415 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:11.319 around consumer security. Most of it has to do, frankly, with the 416 00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:17.200 fact that we're really really bad as consumers and sharing information that we shouldn't be. 417 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.839 And once people learn a lot about you, it's really easy for them 418 00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:26.160 to know bad guys, bad actors to come in and say, hey, 419 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:30.039 you know, I'm your bank giving your bank account information. By the way, 420 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.400 getting rolling back to the chat GPT thing, AI is going to help 421 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.359 bad actors attack you. That's part of the issue. The other part of 422 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:45.400 the issue is that AI in essence could help us with consumers security. By 423 00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.640 understanding what the bad actors are doing out there, and you know, through 424 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:53.640 a service I don't know, maybe from Microsoft, Google, whomever, pick 425 00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:57.920 your favorite, you know, your cable provider or something, could be very 426 00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:03.519 proactive at looking at what's coming in to us and saying, you know, 427 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.359 you really shouldn't click on that, you really shouldn't respond to that, you 428 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.480 really shouldn't take that seriously because that could be a risky situation. So, 429 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.359 yeah, there's a lot going on in security, a lot going on behind 430 00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:21.160 the scenes at your bank, for instance, banks are spending huge amounts of 431 00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:23.119 money in aim where I'm pivoting back to AI. I apologize for that, 432 00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:30.200 but it's becoming both a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. 433 00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.599 Right as far as five G goes, one of the advantages to five 434 00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:38.240 G once it really is getting deployed and it's it's pretty well deployed at least 435 00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:45.640 most of the major areas that we go, but it remains a really fast, 436 00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:48.640 low latency connection. And so what it can do is it can actually 437 00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:53.279 get you information very quickly if if you're being attacked, you know, with 438 00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:56.079 five G you can go off into the cloud and the cloud can tell you 439 00:30:56.079 --> 00:31:00.880 within microseconds or milliseconds. That hey, that's that's a thing. So five 440 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:04.960 G from a security perspective actually brings a lot of stuff that we couldn't necessarily 441 00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:11.720 get with slower networks that are had more latency, that meaning you know, 442 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:15.079 it could take seconds or minutes before you get information back. All right, 443 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:17.960 I'm going to use AIS a jumping off from my last question with you. 444 00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:18.680 Since you pivot it, I'm going to do it too. I'm going to 445 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:23.519 pivot back. So the brains, a lot of the brains behind AI came 446 00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:29.400 from Nvidia and Vidio just hit one trillion dollar market cap level. It gives 447 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:32.400 and takes a little bit, but around one trillion dollars. Let's talk about 448 00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:37.519 the Chips Act. Let's talk about computer chips, super chips and being able 449 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.039 to apply them to the Chips Act. What are you seeing? How's that 450 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:42.359 playing out? I mean, the Chips Act is supposed to be able to 451 00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:48.680 protect our supply chain here in the US. Right the whole point of the 452 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:55.480 Chips Act was to give companies incentive to come back to manufacturing in the US. 453 00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.720 Right now, probably eighty plus percent of chips that we get for everything, 454 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:04.759 you know, from consumer devices up through smart devices, up through Nvidia 455 00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:08.359 devices for ai come from TSMC, which is in China. In Taiwan. 456 00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:14.079 Basically, now you know, God forbid China should attack Taiwan. You know 457 00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:19.240 that gets shut down overnight of your supply goes away, or another case, 458 00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.480 I mean Taiwan is in an earthquake zone. What if they have a massive 459 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.480 earthquake, what if something actually does happen. What we want to do, 460 00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:29.920 and what the government has decided to do is to say, let's diverse five 461 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:32.519 supply. Let's bring some of that back to the US as much as we 462 00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:37.480 can. And by the way, even Taiwan, even TSMC in Taiwan is 463 00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:42.240 investing in the US because they want to diversify supply. And the Europeans are 464 00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.079 doing the same thing. They've just signed a deal with Intel to invest in 465 00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:51.440 Germany. There's some stuff that's going into Poland France is looking at more diversity. 466 00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:54.400 So chips act, to my way of thinking, is a really good 467 00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:59.119 way for the government. It's expensive, I get it, but it's a 468 00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:02.759 really good way for the government to incentivize much more production coming back to the 469 00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:12.480 US so that we don't necessarily have to reply rely exclusively on offshore sourcing of 470 00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:15.839 chips. That's fascinating stuff. That wow, that's great context too, a 471 00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:21.799 macroeconomic consumer wise. Always a pleasure of Jack. Thank you for joining us. 472 00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:24.000 I appreciate that we've been speaking with Jack Gold, President principal analysts at 473 00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:28.039 Jay Gold Associates. Once again, Jack, thanks a lot, You're very 474 00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:31.759 welcome. We spoke with Faith Abube a little bit earlier this hour about the 475 00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:38.759 bide administration rolling out five G access to more rural areas as well as territories 476 00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:40.799 of the United States as well. That's going to be happening a lot this 477 00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:45.279 week. So that right there was Jack Gold. He's a tech sector analyst 478 00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:47.680 and he's the founder and president of Gold and Associates. It's based in Boston. 479 00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:52.720 You can find him online at jagold Associates dot com. Right now, 480 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:54.960 let's pivot one more time since I'm over using that word. This morning, 481 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:59.880 ABC's Jim Ryan is here to talk about vaping and East cigarette usage. Welcome, 482 00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:01.039 Jim. Hope you had a good weekend. Hey Jason, you had 483 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:05.720 not bad hot around here, of course, but look at some of these 484 00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:08.800 figures. It's really surprising, I think shocking to the Centers for Disease controller 485 00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:13.719 Prevention, which has been looking at this for several years actually and has been 486 00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:17.519 working with health officials around the country or try to drive down the incidents of 487 00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:22.079 vaping. Well, apparently the opposite has happened. Sales of e cigarettes have 488 00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:27.920 gone up nearly fifty percent over the past three years now. They've went from 489 00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:32.000 fifteen and a half million units that is vape cartridges vade pens in January twenty 490 00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:37.320 twenty two about twenty three million in December, just this past December. So 491 00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:42.119 the numbers are continuing to rise in this country and abroad. So is okay 492 00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.360 we saw the spike during the COVID lockdown, I assume, and have we 493 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:49.679 seen any tapering at all? I mean still a balloon? Well, the 494 00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:52.760 hope is and in some early indications suggest that in the last six months since 495 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.079 the beginning of this year, the numbers may have started to moderate, maybe 496 00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:01.400 even have gone back down somewhat. Will will know in a few months towards 497 00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:05.320 the end of this year what the what twenty twenty three has held. But 498 00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:08.800 I think that the health officials, public health officials have been shocked to see 499 00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:13.920 that this dramatic increase has happened in the two years leading up to this year. 500 00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:16.840 Is menthol a thing? I remember when I was growing up, my 501 00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:22.079 grandparents smoked menthols as if it were like a side hustle. And I'm wondering 502 00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:24.360 if menthol is still a thing with EVA, with vaping and these cigarettes. 503 00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:29.480 Yes, menthol and other flavors that are put into some of these products are 504 00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:34.960 still a major draw for customers, new customers and those existing customers. You 505 00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:38.880 know, Ostensibly people use vaping to try to get off of actual cigarettes, 506 00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:45.000 but in some cases, according to health officials, they simply replace one with 507 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:49.800 the other. And there are threats or potential health risks associated with vaping that 508 00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:52.159 we still don't know yet. So yeah, yeah, it's it's it's the 509 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:58.239 mental as the flavors. It's the accessibility, it's the affordability really, I 510 00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:01.440 mean, as the cost of actual cigarettes, actual tobacco products continues to rise, 511 00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:09.039 the e cigarettes remain suddenly an economical alternative. Is the healthcare cost of 512 00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:14.239 vaping and e cigarettes? Any mentioned? Get any mentioned in the CDC report? 513 00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:15.440 Or is that something that's going to come a little bit later, But 514 00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:20.639 that'll come later, and it doesn't talk specifically about those health costs, but 515 00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:24.119 it does talk about another side effect of this than that is you see a 516 00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:30.679 lot more calls, a dramatic increased doubling of calls actually to the National Poison 517 00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:34.880 Data System, which is the control centers that are located around the country. 518 00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:40.239 Seven reports because of potential poisonings by e cigarettes. Nine in ten of those 519 00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:45.480 cases, Jason involved children under five years old, So clearly kids are getting 520 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:51.360 ahold of these products. They are either inhaling or ingesting the vape liquid and 521 00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.920 ending up in the hospital. Becaust Ooh that sounds brutal. Yeah, Okay, 522 00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:57.719 Well, first of all, thank you for that update on this, 523 00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:00.559 Jim, And as long as I have you and being the reporter that you 524 00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:01.960 are, can I ask you about the heat dome that's still over Texas. 525 00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:06.639 It is still over Texas. We had two more fatalities over the weekend out 526 00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:09.159 in deep West Texas, the Big Bend area of the state. You know, 527 00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.000 if you think about the map of the state, it starts out there, 528 00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:15.679 it'll pass so kind of curves down and then comes back up again. 529 00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:19.360 That's the Big Bend area. Mountainous, very rugged. There were two people 530 00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.360 who died a fourteen year old boy and his stepfather who died out in the 531 00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.719 heat this past weekend. Wow. Okay, Jim, thanks for this and 532 00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.760 thanks for updating us, and well I'm sure we'll catch up later this week 533 00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:31.920 too. Thanks Jason. ABC's Jim Ryan there giving us a little bit of 534 00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:37.480 an update on the CDC results from its most recent research coming out of the 535 00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:40.519 pandemic about East cigarettes and vaping, and of course the heat dome that has 536 00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:45.199 been extended into Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, parts of Oklahoma as well. 537 00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:49.639 Today, let's get some of the other stories coming out of the KFI twenty 538 00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.199 four hour newsroom before we go to handle on the news. A wind advisory 539 00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:57.519 is an effect for parts of Riverside County. It starts tonight until five am 540 00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:00.960 tomorrow. The National Weather Service as wins from fifth teen to twenty five miles 541 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:04.840 an hour and gust up to forty five miles per hour are expected in the 542 00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:08.239 Riverside County Mountains, Coachella Valley, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Palm Desert, 543 00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:13.840 Laquinta, and Brego Springs. Officials are urging people to be careful when 544 00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:17.159 driving, and an update on the would be Russian rebellion over the weekend. 545 00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:22.800 A mercenary organization in Russia with thousands of fighters has marched away from the front 546 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:25.519 lines in Ukraine over the weekend into Russia. ABC's Ian Pannell spoke to a 547 00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:30.440 senior aide to Ukraine's President Zelenski, who says, this is a turning point 548 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:34.760 in the war. Given what we're seeing happening in Russia. Do you believe 549 00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:39.280 we're now at the beginning of the end of the war in Ukraine? He 550 00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:44.719 says, without a doubt, it's the beginning of the end. Pannell says, 551 00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:49.599 the group led by Yevgeni Progoshan almost got to Moscow Saturday, officials say. 552 00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:53.760 Russia's President Vladimir Putin and Emir of Qatar discussed the recent events in Russia 553 00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:59.559 during a phone call this morning Pole's show. The majority of Americans are against 554 00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:02.679 the courts handling of abortion rights and the court itself. A year after the 555 00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:07.679 Supreme Court overturned rov Wade, six and ten voters think ending federal protection for 556 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:10.920 abortion was wrong. A new NBC poll found eighty percent of women between eighteen 557 00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:15.559 and forty nine disapproved. You know, the people most affected also sixty percent 558 00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:19.320 of independence and a third of Republicans. More than half of men surveyed also 559 00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.320 disagree with the decision, and a Quinnipiac University poll finds just thirty percent of 560 00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.800 registered voters approved of the nation's highest court, an all time low, and 561 00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:30.320 nearly seven and ten think the courts mainly motivated by politics. Mark Ronner KFI 562 00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:35.480 News a couple of quick business headlines too this morning. Traders are finally conceding 563 00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:38.760 that the fit is laser focused on inflation, less worried about the rates. 564 00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:43.800 The interest rate hikes breaking the economy. Almost half of market participants in a 565 00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:46.840 Bloomberg survey expect at least two more rate hikes this year. That's a remarkable 566 00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:51.800 shift for a market that was pricing in cuts in twenty twenty three as recently 567 00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:53.719 as this month. Not on this program or on my weekend show. By 568 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:58.760 the way, a soft landing for the economy does appear elusive, but the 569 00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:00.920 US could be stuck in a pre recession limbo for the rest of this year, 570 00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:06.440 which means the American consumer is pushing This would be softer landing out of 571 00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:08.880 the picture, and a short, shallow recession could be moving into the picture 572 00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:14.559 early next year. Stock futures right now little change. This morning, Wall 573 00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:16.519 Street is looking to see if the market rally can find some momentum in the 574 00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:21.199 final week of June. Dal Jones right now is down twelve points and the 575 00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:25.280 SMP is basically flat, and so is the NASDAC. Jiffy Lube is fixing 576 00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:30.079 up ice cream trucks for free this summer. The car repair company and Good 577 00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:34.199 Humor teamed up to provide maintenance services to any ice cream truck or van at 578 00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:37.320 participating stores. Good Humor is also hosting ice cream socials at some of Jeffy 579 00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:44.760 Lube's locations. Unfortunately, no socials are scheduled here in California. Prince William 580 00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:47.559 is tackling the long term homeless crisis in the UK. He created a five 581 00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:51.840 year project to make sure people always have a roof over their heads. The 582 00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:54.840 Heir to the Throne is announcing details of the program this week. His initiative 583 00:40:54.840 --> 00:41:00.280 comes as rising rents and a shortage of affordable housing push more people went to 584 00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:05.159 homelessness amid the biggest decline in living standards since World War Two.
