00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:05.480
You're listening to Wake Up Call with
Jennifer Jones Lee on demand from KA five

2
00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:09.880
a m. Six forty. Good
morning everyone, Monday, June fifth.

3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.039
Stocks are flat. I know we're
not actively trading in a pre market trading.

4
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.640
Stocks are flat. Everything seems seems
kind of flat. We had a

5
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.440
nice Saturday around the south Land.
I think saw some sun for the first

6
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:24.160
time in a while in the morning, and then Sunday Marine Layer was back.

7
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.199
That happens today is June the fifth. By the way, nineteen sixty

8
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.399
eight, Robert F. Kennedy was
shot and killed at the Ambassador Hotel here

9
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.799
in Los Angeles. That hotel no
longer exists. Also today, I was

10
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:42.320
looking up hound Dog. Elvis Presley
launched hound Dog today on the Milton Burrows

11
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.359
Show, and I don't know why
that struck me, as like I hadn't

12
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.479
thought about Milton Burrow in a long
time. I don't think anybody has,

13
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.359
except for my fourteen year old daughter
who's fascinated with him for some reason.

14
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.159
So I can't just describe. We're
gonna check everything we have. I was

15
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:57.759
just looking through the stack for a
handle on the news at six o'clock,

16
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.359
and we have a full stack of
news to get into, so let's start

17
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:04.079
with some headlines and then we'll get
into some of our wake up call interviews.

18
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.599
Labor disruptions continue today and are effectively
shutting down the ports of LA and

19
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.200
Long Beach. Now combine, those
two ports handle about forty percent of the

20
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:21.000
maritime loads in and out for the
United States. Oakland is also being disrupted

21
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.200
right now, as well as a
couple of other smaller ports. LA unified

22
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.120
schools are extending the school year and
restoring a three week winter break. Been

23
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.799
reporting that over the weekend and just
in time for the summer travel and driving

24
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:38.359
season. Crude oil prices are soaring
this morning because Saudi Arabia says it will

25
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:44.439
cut production of an extra one million
barrels per day starting in July. That's

26
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:49.519
going to be the lowest production daily
level in several years. Today is the

27
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.319
day when the federal government would have
defaulted on its debts and not pay the

28
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.280
bills. ABC's Karen Travers will join
us in just a few minutes lie from

29
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.719
Capitol Hill to discuss winners and loos
from the Fiscal Responsibility Act. Let's start

30
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.480
with some of the stories coming out
of the KFY twenty four hour newsroom and

31
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.080
of course, as always, we
lead local. As the WGA enters its

32
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:13.319
thirty fifth day of striking, the
Director's Guild of America has reached a tentative

33
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.759
deal with Hollywood Studios. The three
year agreement was made Saturday between the DGA,

34
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:23.080
Hollywood Studios, and major streaming companies. The directors say they wanted global

35
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.800
streaming residual payments based on subscribers watching
content. They also wanted wage increases and

36
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:36.719
an agreement on artificial intelligence usage.
Contract negotiations between the WGA and the studios

37
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:43.039
start again on Wednesday. Some residents
and actins say they're against the proposed construction

38
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.879
of a lithium storage facility near their
town. They say the battery farm would

39
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.840
be the largest in the world,
imposes a danger to the residents of acting

40
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.960
in Agua Dulci. They'll be all
located on the east side of our town,

41
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:58.199
near the Vincent See substation. Ruthie
Brock heads up a task force aimed

42
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.639
at stopping the project. She led
her alley of about two hundred on Saturday.

43
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.039
She says the batteries would provide backup
power to the grind and we'll receive

44
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.960
none of that power, yet we're
being asked to shoulder all the burden.

45
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.159
Rock says. The battery farms have
been known to spark fires and release toxic

46
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.599
chemicals in the air and in the
water table. Steve Gregory, King of

47
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:19.120
Fins, rescuers say they have not
found any survivors from an unresponsive plane that

48
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.319
flew over the country's capital and crashed. US officials say a military fighter jet

49
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.199
scrambled to respond to the small plane
and caused a loud sonic boom yesterday heard

50
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.319
across the DC metro area. It's
unknown why the plane crashed or how many

51
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:36.960
people were inside. The FAA says
the plane took off from Tennessee and was

52
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.599
headed for Long Island. Researchers that
you see San Diego say they've uncovered a

53
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:45.960
groundbreaking process that accounts for up to
twelve percent of the oxygen on Earth.

54
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.560
Here's the science. He part you
see San Diego researchers combined cutting edge microscopy

55
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.960
techniques and genetic tools to uncover how
a proton pump enzyme promotes photosynthesis and several

56
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.919
species of phytoplankton. Huh. Here's
the cool part. Take ten deep breath.

57
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.280
Researchers say one of those breasts was
made possible by tiny cells in the

58
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:10.000
ocean carrying out minute chemical reactions for
millions of years, shaping the trajectory of

59
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.120
life on Earth. This could improve
biotechnical approaches to photosynthesis, carbon sequestration,

60
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.959
and biodiesel production. Corbin Carson kf
I News on the line with this ABC's

61
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.120
White House correspondent Karen traversed. Okay, first the House did it, then

62
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.920
the Senate did it, and then
President Biden got hands on the Fiscal Responsibility

63
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.399
Act. The country's going to pay
its bills after all. Good morning,

64
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.319
Karen, Yeah, good morning.
Today would have been the x state June

65
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.879
fifth, where the Treasury Department said
they would not have been able to pay

66
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:41.439
their bills unless the Congress and the
presidents and to law legislation to raise the

67
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.839
debt limit. That did happen.
The President signed it over the weekend,

68
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.639
no great fanfare, didn't bring in
reporters to do it, but they did

69
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.199
release a video about it, So
that's it. The debt limit now is

70
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:56.720
suspended through January first, twenty twenty
five, which means we will not be

71
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.839
talking about this during the presidential election
year, which is a good thing.

72
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.319
When the President gave remarks Friday night
and talked about the bipartisan nature of this

73
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:08.199
and also said, you know,
not everybody got everything they wanted in Washington,

74
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:12.079
but the American people got what they
needed. He said, we averted

75
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.800
an economic crisis and an economic collapse. Let's talk about the politics about this

76
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.959
for a second, because you said
right there that they released a video.

77
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.639
This should have been a bit of
a victory lap. According to some media

78
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.800
reports, it is not having a
reporter scrum, something this White House seems

79
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.240
to be using as a policy.
I think for this, well, first

80
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.680
of all, the President delivered remarks
Friday night in the Oval Office, so

81
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:40.680
significant to do it like that,
and that was his first Oval office addressed,

82
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:45.000
and I think they wanted to show
the magnitude of this legislation and averting

83
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.439
this type of crisis. But in
terms of a victory lap, I think

84
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.759
it was notable last week that the
White House was going to great lane to

85
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:55.480
not take a victory lap. We
were all trying to get them to weigh

86
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.759
in on that. I asked the
Budget Director last week if the President felt

87
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.639
he came out ahead and negotiations and
she said, you don't know. The

88
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.120
American people won in the negotiations,
and when you start talking about Republicans and

89
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.000
Democrats winning, then you've already lost. Now that was before the vote,

90
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:15.680
and I think there was certainly a
very careful effort to not disrupt any fragile

91
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.279
vote counting. If the President was
seemed to be spiking a football ahead of

92
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.199
the vote, you might end up
having more Republicans, and maybe there some

93
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:26.399
Democrats say forget it, we're out, because everybody the tone would have changed.

94
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.920
But even afterwards that didn't change.
From the President. There was no

95
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.959
I won this. I got McCarthy. In fact, he went to IoT

96
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:40.199
very notable length to talk about the
relationship that he and McCarthy had, that

97
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.839
his team had with McCarthy's team.
The thing we don't hear a lot in

98
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.480
Washington talking about how they got along, how straightforward, honest, and respectful

99
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:53.279
both sides were. The President said, both sides operated in good faith and

100
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.360
kept their word. It seems like
a temporary reprieve when it comes to partisan

101
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.360
politics. Any other what are you
watching for this summer? Any political potholes

102
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.839
that we might want to keep an
eye on as we go into the summer

103
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:09.560
months. Yeah, I think the
next big thing, big big thing is

104
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.759
the government funding bills. Now,
Congress has to do that by September thirtieth.

105
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.120
We will be talking about it in
September because most likely they will not

106
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.839
do it by September thirty if they
never do it anymore. September thirtieth is

107
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:26.480
like these vague deadlines these days.
That's the fiscal year. But they'll punt

108
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.920
it short term thing and get it
till December, and then we'll be talking

109
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.959
about it again in December and whether
or not they can avoid a government shutdown.

110
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.439
I mean, I'm predicting all of
this, but I feel like this

111
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.319
is how we will likely play out. And this will be the next big

112
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.600
test then of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker
and keeping his Republican caucus together. It

113
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.920
will be a test of this bipartisan
feeling that we had after last week and

114
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:53.480
the President's relationship with McCarthy, because
that's the next really significant thing that Congress

115
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.639
would have to do. A lot
of things the White House would like them

116
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.279
to do, and Congress will do, but that's the big one. Right

117
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.160
on maybecs, White House Correspondent Karen
travers. Always a pleasure to speak with

118
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.920
you. Hope we can do it
again soon. Have a great day.

119
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.759
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks Karen.
Let's get back to some of those stories

120
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.240
coming out of the KFI at twenty
four hour newsroom. Governor Newsom and Attorney

121
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.959
General Banta are investigating a private jet
that landed in Sacramento with sixteen migrants on

122
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.279
board. Officials say the migrants were
deceived into getting on the plane's Saturday after

123
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.480
crossing the border into Texas. Bonta
says he thinks the plane came from Florida.

124
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.079
We think that because there's documents that
were given to the migrants to sign

125
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.519
with the name of the state of
Florida on it. It's there their voluntary

126
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.639
transportation program. Banta says it's the
same program used when migrants came to Martha's

127
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.320
Vineyard in September twenty twenty two.
Banta says the migrants are receiving legal aid

128
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.159
services. Another drugs and weapons bust
in San Bernardino. A San Bernardino Police

129
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.919
Department traffic stop led to a search
of a car that allegedly turned up two

130
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.960
pounds of meth and some ammunition.
SPD's Marijuana Enforcement team also searched home connected

131
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.600
to the traffic stop that resulted in
the seizure of more than a kilo of

132
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:09.159
coke, eleven pounds of marijuana,
and multiple weapons. A team for Burbank

133
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.399
is attempting to become the youngest player
to qualify for the US Open at Hillcrest

134
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.879
Country Club. Thirteen year old Jadensung
has earned one of the last two spots

135
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.440
in the thirty six whole qualifier by
shooting an even par seventy two at a

136
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.120
qualifier last month in Brentwood. The
seventh grader at Thomas Starr King Middle School

137
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.879
could break the record set by a
fourteen year old who broke the record in

138
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.600
twenty twelve. The Hillcrest final qualifier
is one of ten hell today in the

139
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:39.919
US and Canada of the US Open
begins June fifteenth. Many of California's beaches

140
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.960
could disappear because of climate change.
A new report from the US Geological Survey

141
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.360
says between twenty five and seventy percent
of the state's beaches could be eroded by

142
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.840
the year twenty one hundred. The
report also says up to two thirds of

143
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.600
California's coastline could be lost by twenty
one hundred as well. Consumers in the

144
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:03.240
US could see prices hikes again the
summer in stores, online, and at

145
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.720
the pump. ABC's Andrew Dinburt says
Saudi Arabian announced it's significantly cutting the amount

146
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.120
of crude oil it contributes to the
global economy each day. Meanwhile, a

147
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.840
labor dispute could drive up prices for
other goods. Some terminals at the ports

148
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.120
of Long Beach and Los Angeles were
effectively shut down after contract talks seemed to

149
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.279
have broken down between the ports and
the union representing dock workers. Dinburt says

150
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.080
the oil regulations going to effect next
month, and he says shipments from clothes

151
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.960
to furniture and cars could be impacted
by the port disruption, So that sticky

152
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.840
inflation we've seen for the last eighteen
months or so seems to be sticking around

153
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.200
through the summer. Heavy rains,
flooding and landslides in Haiti have killed at

154
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.720
least fifteen people, while officials search
for eight others. Officials say nearly thirteen

155
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.679
thousand, four hundred people were forced
to leave as water cover hundreds of homes

156
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:52.399
around the country. Haiti's Civil Protection
Agency says more than seven thousand families reported

157
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.799
damage over the weekend. Officials are
assessing the damage to homes and crops.

158
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:01.039
A Florida businessman says his family was
on the crashed plane that caused chaos in

159
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.320
Washington, DC. The plane sparked
panic yesterday after it violated restricted airspace and

160
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.600
forced the military to scramble f sixteens
at supersonic speeds, and that caused a

161
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.000
sonic boom that led to phone calls
to police and news desks and lots of

162
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.399
coverage this morning as well. Senator
Joe Mansion is not saying if he is

163
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.559
planning on a third party presidential run. Speaking on Fox News yesterday, the

164
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:28.039
West Virginia Democrat did say that people
want to be governed from the middle rather

165
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.200
than from the far left or the
far right. And your friendly neighborhood Spider

166
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.080
Man is back on top of the
box office. Spider Man Across the Spider

167
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.679
Verse earned one hundred and twenty and
a half million dollars in its first weekend

168
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.840
in theaters across the US and Canada. The latest installment in the Spidy franchise

169
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.879
scored the second biggest opening since the
Super Mario Brothers movie and coming up in

170
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.480
a little bit, we're going to
talk about what's happening with a canine flu.

171
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.279
But first right now on the line. In a few hours, Apple

172
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.080
is going to begin its annual Developers
Conference, and the rumors have Apple finally

173
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.240
launching its ARVR headset. ABC's Mike
dubuskies online with us to discuss Apple and

174
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.480
what we can expected. Morning sir, Good morning. Yeah, So this

175
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.600
is WWDC. It's their Worldwide Developer
Conference where they bring in developers from around

176
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.600
the tech space to show off their
latest wares. And you know we are

177
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:24.759
going to get a look at some
softwares. iOS seventeen is expected to be

178
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.159
announced today, which is going to
underpin the next iPhone. We're going to

179
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.759
get a sort of bigger MacBook Air, we're thinking, but as you alluded

180
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.600
to there, Jason, yes,
we're gonna get their long awaited VR headset.

181
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.639
We're pretty sure today is the day. They originally thought they were going

182
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.600
to launch this thing in twenty twenty, but obviously it has been pushed back

183
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.039
and back many times. But today
it seems like it's going to be the

184
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:46.960
day, and that's going to be
a big deal for Apple. It's a

185
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.000
new product category for them. We're
expecting to be a big deal for the

186
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:54.360
VR space as well. Yeah,
no doubt, and we can unpack some

187
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.440
of this, but it seems like
as a new product line when one of

188
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.720
your fans is the CEO, like
Tim Cook, seems to be of this

189
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.279
because he sees it as long term
survival of the company. Do you think

190
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.480
this is getting significant coverage or I
mean hype? I guess are going to

191
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.480
go into another hype cycle around this, I you know, that is the

192
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.240
question. Right, Like, if
you take a look at the VR space

193
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.720
in twenty twenty three, it's a
far cry from what it was even two

194
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:22.879
years ago. Right. Meta kind
of kicked off this most recent hype cycle

195
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:28.039
in twenty twenty one. They've renamed
themselves from Facebook. They said everyone's going

196
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.320
to exist in this Metaverse VR sort
of world. Microsoft also invested in Active

197
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.039
Vision Blizzard, you know, for
almost seventy billion dollars. There was all

198
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.759
this money flying around, but in
the years since it has kind of stagnated.

199
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.799
Meta has not sold as many of
its VR headsets as it thought it

200
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.480
was going too. Microsoft and Disney, the parent company of ABC News,

201
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.360
have walked back their Metaverse plans.
Another interesting status that last year, in

202
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.200
the first five months of twenty twenty
two, metaverse startups raised just under three

203
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.639
billion dollars in VC funding. This
year over that same period as about six

204
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.679
hundred and sixty four billion, So
not as much hype around VR in the

205
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.440
metaverse as it once was. Right, So, there's a way to look

206
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.519
at this as like Apple showing up
really late to the party here. But

207
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.919
also, when Apple jumps into a
segment, they kind of legitimize it in

208
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:22.039
some ways, right Apple. You
know, smart watches and such existed before

209
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.480
the Apple Watch, but people started
thinking about them in different ways after Apple

210
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.399
got into that market. Right.
That became a fashion statement in some ways.

211
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:31.200
So, you know, there's a
couple different ways to think about this.

212
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.159
I think it's it's going to be
a high stakes moment for Apple at

213
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.519
the very least. Okay, that
that makes sense, And you're right.

214
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:39.519
Apple's corporate culture seems to be hurry
up and wait. But you're right,

215
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.840
it legitimizes things when it launches a
product within a space. Now, one

216
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.840
of the ways to look at this
too is we just reported last week.

217
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.279
I think you and I may have
discussed it on the air if not on

218
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:56.360
email. One point one trillion dollars
through the app store last year for Apple,

219
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:58.360
So when they create an ecosystem,
it's kind of a big deal.

220
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.759
But consumer adoption of this what we
anticipate to be a headset from Apple.

221
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.039
The price point there's three thousand bucks. Yeah, yeah, that's what we're

222
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.039
expecting. That's a lot of money. Yeah, there's no way around that.

223
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.240
I mean, this is basically so
today's launch is basically for developers to

224
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.919
get them hyped up so they'll start
building stuff, right, And that is

225
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.720
a big part of this, Right, they're launching this at their developer conference.

226
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.960
It's not an iPhone event, it's
not a VR event. This is

227
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.679
the thing where developers sit there and
think, here's how my app is going

228
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.320
to work with this platform. Right, and Apple's never been in the VR

229
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.159
space before. We don't know what
their take on VR is going to look

230
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.840
like. Are you going to put
this thing on and is it going to

231
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.480
be a grid of apps. We
just don't know until I believe ten am

232
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.720
your time today what their expectation of
that is going to be. But I

233
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.679
think it's going to be sort of
bought and sold on what those apps look

234
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.279
like specifically the third party apps,
right, you know, does an email

235
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.799
client just exist as sort of a
floating box in front of you in VR?

236
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.960
That seems like sort of a waste
of this three thousand and taller piece

237
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.440
of technology. Maybe it's a different
experience. I think we're just gonna have

238
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.519
to wait and see. And the
big question is going to be how quickly

239
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.360
developers are able to get on board
and whether they even want to, whether

240
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.519
they see a future in this space. So, yeah, that's going to

241
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.200
be a big part of it.
You have to think that with Apple's install

242
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.879
base that they have at least enough
audience to get developers thinking about this.

243
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.759
How does Meta position itself with its
headset and what can differentiate? How can

244
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.960
Apple differentiate? Right? So Meta
has two headsets right now, right last

245
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.000
week and potentially an attempt to get
ahead of this announcement from Apple. This

246
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.519
week, they announced a new Quest
headset, the Quest three, which is

247
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.080
their entry level device. It's five
hundred dollars. They're keeping the Quest two

248
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:44.600
around at a lower price point.
So they have sort of like lower end

249
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.519
devices that work well that have passed
through and you know, some of the

250
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.919
features that people in the VR space
really appreciate and like, and they've really

251
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:56.759
focused these devices. People seem to
like them. They also have the Quest

252
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.559
Pro, which is launched at fifteen
hundred dollars. It was intended to be

253
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.200
this sort of future of work device, but they haven't sold nearly as many

254
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.480
as they thought they were going to, and recently knocked the price down to

255
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.759
a thousand dollars. I think three
thousand dollars is sort of an open question.

256
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.400
There are headsets that exist in the
sort of high range. Valve is

257
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:19.960
one of them that offers like a
super high premium headset, but they're very

258
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.960
specific devices, and I think the
positioning of this is ultimately going to,

259
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.519
you know, be something that Apple
reveals today hopefully, you know, is

260
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.839
this going to be an enterprise device? Is this going to be something that

261
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.519
people use for work and video calls, or is this going to be a

262
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.119
gaming thing? Is this going to
be something that they're pitching as like a

263
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:41.039
replacement for a Mac or an iPhone. We just don't know yet, but

264
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.839
yeah, it's an open question,
one that I'm really curious about. Yeah,

265
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.680
me too, And I know,
well you and I are contributing to

266
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.359
the hype cycle right now talked about
this, but do you well, go

267
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.960
ahead, Well, I'm just gonna
say, you know, we are contributing

268
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:53.640
to it. But this hype cycle
has been going on for so long.

269
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.440
They started development of this thing in
twenty fifteen, right, that's the rumors

270
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:02.799
about this for a long time,
and obviously the pandemic delayed it somewhat.

271
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:04.759
But when you compare that to the
iPhone, when Steve Jobs got up and

272
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.160
launched that piece of technology, I
think it's safe to say changed the world

273
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.640
in a lot of ways. He
said he had been looking forward to that

274
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.279
day for two and a half years. The iPhone took two and a half

275
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:18.119
years to develop. This took eight. Like that. That's an interesting thing

276
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.480
to put in context, you know, and you know leadership changes in the

277
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.200
pandemic play into that, but you
know, this is something that they've been

278
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:27.240
focused on for a while. There's
also been dissent within Apple about the success

279
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:32.720
of this device. People walking away
from projects or being fired from certain teams

280
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.279
because they didn't believe in the success
of this. That's something we haven't heard

281
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.400
about an applet product, and we
haven't heard leak out of Apple in a

282
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.799
very long time. Yeah, that's
true. If ever really yeah, so

283
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.400
if I mean, especially if you
go back to Steve's days, I haven't

284
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.720
covered a WWDC in a while.
Are we going to get anything else today

285
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.000
other than the ARBR headset that we
want to keep an eye on. Yes,

286
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.640
And I think we are probably going
to get the VR headset at the

287
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.799
end of this presentation, because there's
some questions about whether it's going to launch

288
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.359
soon or whether this is just going
to be like a preview for later launch

289
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.240
in the fall. Maybe, But
we are going to get other stuff today.

290
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.880
iOS seventeen early On, which is
the software that's going to underpin the

291
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:15.599
next generation iPhone. A couple interesting
little tools here. A Personal Voice tool

292
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.279
is expected, where you can create
a synthetic version of your voice with just

293
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.000
fifteen minutes of talking to it,
which is kind of interesting. Also,

294
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.480
if you turn your phone sideways when
it's locked, it can become sort of

295
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.279
a smart home device. So little
things like that that sort of ease of

296
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.799
use updates to the way you use
your iPhone, which is going to matter

297
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:36.839
to a lot of the people who
use iPhones, which is a lot of

298
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.680
people. And we're also probably going
to get a larger version of the MacBook

299
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:44.400
Air, a fifteen inch version of
the MacBook Air. The thirteen inch version

300
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.960
already exists. It's gonna, you
know, pretty much be what we expect

301
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.400
a MacBook Air to be in twenty
twenty three, which means M two processor,

302
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:56.279
really nice screen, that new sort
of more squared off design that they've

303
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.359
been employing. And Apple has actually
been working on a bunch of reef freshed

304
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.480
max as well, although we don't
expect to see these today, um,

305
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.079
but we you know, down the
line, we are probably going to get

306
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.759
a refreshed iMac with a newer processor, and then refreshed thirteen inch MacBook Pro,

307
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.359
which has kind of been sort of
the odd duck of the mack line.

308
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.519
But um, they are working on
their computers as well. We talk

309
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:22.759
a lot about the VR headset,
but I think the Mac and sort of

310
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.680
the updates to their iOS is kind
of going to be the thing that people

311
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.279
see most of and interact with most
of them. I'm with you on that

312
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:33.240
one. I think the fifteen inch
Air is a significant upgrade, not just

313
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.319
not just with the screen size but
also with the processors that that the M

314
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.160
two is a really, really well
reviewed chip, as was the M one.

315
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.799
I mean it's Apple's internally developed processor. They control the whole widget.

316
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.440
Now. Um, it's it's just
been like kind of the gold standard in

317
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.839
terms of reviews when we were talking
about sort of entry level laptops. But

318
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.519
you know, still a very expensive
device at that I know, but I'm

319
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:57.279
going to get in line for that
one. I'm not going to get in

320
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.160
line for the headset, not at
three not a three grand man. I

321
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.880
mean, the book is going to
be what about twelve hundred if you trick

322
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.119
it out right. I think the
base uh like thirteen inch starts at a

323
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.160
thousand dollars. It's the cheapest way
into an Apple computer, I believe,

324
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:17.160
outside of the yeah, outside of
the Mac Minium. But yeah, so

325
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.000
we're expecting maybe you know, tack
on a couple hundred dollars. Twelve hundred

326
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.039
dollars I think is safe to assume. But you get a really nice processor.

327
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.359
It runs you know, your phone's
apps, it runs iPad apps,

328
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.000
it's really fast. Um, just
just a really nice user experience. Not

329
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.119
gonna, you know, set the
world on fire. I don't think that's

330
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.720
like it's going to be a completely
unexpected device or something that you know,

331
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:37.920
does something that we're not used to
it doing. But it's going to just

332
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.720
work really well and work with your
other suite of Apple problem because I hope

333
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:47.440
you buy because because that one that
lands you between an iPad pro and between

334
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:48.960
a MacBook Pro. It's right right
middle, and I think that that could

335
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.880
be your workhorse kind of laptop if
you're into that, right, and it

336
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.680
does put the sort of thirteen inch
MacBook Pro that exists now that has the

337
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.640
M two in a weird slot,
right, it's got the older sort of

338
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.680
design mine, it's got the you
know, not as nice screen, like

339
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.000
what is that thing for? Right? That's kind of like with the existence

340
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.440
of these bigger, sort of like
targeted it's like lower end computers. It's

341
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:14.240
like, I don't know why they're
keeping that that computer around, but you

342
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:15.240
know, we'll see. I don't
know about what their plans are for the

343
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:19.960
thirteen ch MacBook pros. The larger
MacBook Pros are very nice computers, more

344
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.720
computing power than I need. But
you know the people who use them are

345
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.119
really excited about that. Oh yeah, I love mine. I have to

346
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.240
admit I do love mine. So
yeah, anyway, Mike it's always a

347
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:32.480
pleasure to nerd out with you.
Thank you so much for your time this

348
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.079
morning. It's always really it's a
good time, of course. Yeah,

349
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:40.039
I appreciate it. Take care of
it. Enjoy ww DC. That's ABC's

350
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:45.200
Mike Tobuski. Ukraine's ambassador to the
US is not giving an exact timetable,

351
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.680
but she does say a counter offensive
against Russia will happen soon. The ambassador

352
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:53.799
told CBS's Face a Nation yesterday that
Ukrainian President Zelenski will not make an official

353
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:59.039
announcement when it occurs. The Miami
Heat put together a strong fourth quarter on

354
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:02.599
the way to a one eleven to
one oh eight victory over the Nuggets at

355
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:06.960
Ball Arena in Denver. Miami outscored
Denver thirty six to twenty five in the

356
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.160
last quarter to even the NBA foundals
at one game apiece. And it turns

357
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.000
out that bam Adebaio remembered that he
is bam Audebaio. The Barbie movie is

358
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.920
causing a pink emergency. Director Gretti
Girwerg says to create that creating Barbie Land

359
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:25.559
caused an international shortage of the signature
pink. So out of luck if you

360
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:27.160
were looking for that one for the
summertime. At five fifty, we're gonna

361
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:30.240
close our wake up call with ABC's
Jim Ryan. There's a dog flu breakout.

362
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:34.599
We're gonna unpack that, and because
Jennifer would probably do that story for

363
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:38.400
sure. Right now, we have
ABC political Analysteve Roberts on the line.

364
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:44.160
Former President Trump has some competition for
the GOP presidential nomination. We're gonna unpack

365
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:48.519
that right now. Or does he
have that? Would you say that he's

366
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.599
in a scrum so far with the
GOP presidential Well, look, you've got

367
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.960
two people jumping into the race this
week, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie

368
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:02.119
former Vice President Mike Pence. They
are in the race because they're making a

369
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:07.559
bet. They're making a bet that
the nomination is worth something, that Donald

370
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.440
Trump is not invulnerable and Joe Biden
is not invulnerable, and they're right on

371
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.599
both counts. Right now, it
looks like Trump, of course, is

372
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.000
leading the polls strongly. But they're
making a bet here, which is that

373
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:21.839
Trump's legal problems are only going to
get worse, that he's going to be

374
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:26.680
indicted from this handling of classified documents. He could be indicted in Georgia for

375
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:33.400
trying to manipulate the electoral count there
in twenty twenty. So they're thinking that,

376
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.400
you know, if we've got to
get in now, that if Trump

377
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.960
is wounded, we got to be
ready to step into that breach. And

378
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:42.759
that's the gamble they're both making this
week. I know, I have to

379
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.480
let you go. Prevailing thinking is
that Trump has control of the Republican base,

380
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:53.039
which candidate can peel off some base
as it exists right now. Well,

381
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:57.599
it's up in the air. You
know. Right now you've got to

382
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:03.160
say Trump's a favorite, but if
he's weaker, you've got Governor de Santis

383
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.400
of Florida out there saying, look, it's time for new generation of leadership.

384
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:11.079
Ronda Santras is thirty two years younger
than Trump. Everybody focuses on Biden's

385
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.079
age, but people don't focus on
Trump's age. He's only four years younger

386
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.319
than Biden. And we know throughout
our history that argument of a new generation,

387
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:22.920
whether it was Jack Kennedy, Bill
Clinton, Barack Obama, it's a

388
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:30.640
very powerful idea. And Ronda Santis
has got that argument, and so he's

389
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:34.160
got to be the favorite. If
Trump stumbles but these these other Republicans are

390
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:38.279
in there because they think Trump can't
win, and because they think Biden is

391
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:42.680
vulnerable. And after Biden fell off
the stage at the Air Force Academy last

392
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:48.599
week and only reinforce the feelings in
the Republican ranks that Biden is beatable.

393
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.960
But Trump might not necessarily be the
guy to do that. That's why they're

394
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.359
looking at some other options. I
appreciate your takes. Do you thank you

395
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.160
for your time? That maybec's political
analy Steve Robberts. Let's get back to

396
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.720
some of the stories coming out of
the KFI at twenty four hour newsroom.

397
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.279
A man who jumped off a cliff
and into a river in Mount Baldy has

398
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:11.640
been killed. The La County Sheriff's
Department says the thirty thirty three year old

399
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.839
was hiking with a friend when he
jumped about fifteen feet deep off Barrett Started

400
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.839
road. The man's friend found him
downstream and called nine to one one yesterday.

401
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:23.400
The friend and forced officials performed CPR
until firefighters arrived, but he did

402
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:27.680
not survive. LA ranks at the
top of the list for highest number of

403
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:33.440
dog attacks against US postal workers over
fifty three hundred employees were attacked by dogs

404
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:38.759
while delivering mail last year. The
Postal Services Natashi Gargan says, even with

405
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:44.319
the best intentions, some dog owners
don't properly secure their pets. Sometimes they

406
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:48.519
get aggressive and they make their way
out the front door, they make their

407
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.720
way out the gate, and that
has caused some serious injuries to many of

408
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.880
our terrier Scurgan says customers can help
mail workers by keeping dogs inside the house

409
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:03.200
or behind defence and away from wines
during delivery times. Chris Adler Ka Fine

410
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.359
News. President Biden has signed the
debt ceiling Agreement into law, averting a

411
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.880
default by the Treasury Department's deadline of
today. ABC's Elizabeth Schultz says the newly

412
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:17.240
agreed upon rules go into effect,
including student loan payments. This three year

413
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:22.119
pause that's been in place during the
pandemic on federal student loan payments will now

414
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:26.119
formally and at the end of August. Schultz says as many as forty five

415
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.119
million borrowers are going to have to
start paying back those loans this summer.

416
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:34.400
The Federal student aid website says interest
will also start again, but the rate

417
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:41.359
will stay the same. Yellow Yellowstone
National Park rangers are warning visitors again to

418
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:44.799
stay away from the wildlife. The
tourist was find more than a thousand dollars

419
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:49.079
last week and pleaded guilty to intentionally
disturbing a newborn bison calf who had to

420
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:55.480
be euthanized last month. Animal expert
Jeff Corran says wild animals are unpredictable,

421
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:57.839
so if people should just leave them
alone. If you're getting in the way,

422
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:02.759
not only you get injured, could
the animal get injured or in trouble,

423
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.880
but you're actually impeding or hurting their
chances for survival. Artificials say visitors

424
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:14.160
actions have led to the endangerment of
people and wildlife. The group representing shippers

425
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:18.079
say operations at some marine terminals at
the ports of la and Long Beach have

426
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.079
been shut down following actions from the
union representing doc workers. Ports were disrupted

427
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:26.559
on Friday. It's unclear ports will
be disrupted today. Looks like that is

428
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.319
happening. The two parties have been
negotiating an agreement which would cover more than

429
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:34.200
twenty two thousand workers at twenty nine
West Coast ports. There are a previous

430
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:37.519
agreement expired in July of twenty twenty
two. The union says it's committed to

431
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:42.000
bargaining a fair and equitable contract.
We're going to wrap it up with ABC's

432
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:45.640
Jim Ryan. Today's topic is a
flu that is threatening dogs around the country.

433
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:49.240
Good morning, Jim, Good morning. And there are a few states

434
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:53.160
that are more susceptible than others.
There's a site actually called dog flu dot

435
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:57.039
com Jason, and it shows that
since two thousand and seven, California,

436
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:00.160
Texas, Florida, New York.
The big states are the ones that have

437
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.920
been dealing with this more than smaller
states. This canine flu that originated with

438
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.720
horses, one strain of it did. The other one originated in birds.

439
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:12.960
So you have these two strains now
that are infecting dogs. The center's that

440
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.640
is these control and prevention, the
one for the human for human people beings

441
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.559
is watching this on the off chance
that at some point in the future one

442
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.799
of these flues might mutate itself.
We've seen that happen with COVID, that

443
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:32.599
it made mutate such that it could
infect humans. So far that has not

444
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:34.920
happened, but it's certainly something to
watch out for. In the meantime,

445
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:38.960
keep an eye in your dog for
symptoms of canine flu. Yeah, and

446
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:41.640
what are those symptoms, Jim,
I mean, I understand that there's an

447
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:47.119
appetite aspect to it, any others
appetite also a lot of what you're going

448
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:49.400
to see in human flu, you
know, watery eyes and a cough,

449
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:53.680
fatigue, those sorts of things that
affect human beings when they have the flu.

450
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:56.880
Same thing with influenza in your dog. I have a family member who

451
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:00.799
happens to be a vet here in
LA I asked to her about this last

452
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.440
night. She said, the last
time they saw something like this was in

453
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:07.759
July of twenty twenty one. Do
you have any indication if we're prepared for

454
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:12.680
if something like accelerates with the contraction
of canine flu, I mean, do

455
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:17.799
we have enough you know, vaccinations? Well, yeah, I mean the

456
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:21.160
vets again are handling that sort of
thing. But there are little outbreaks going

457
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:25.960
on around the country right now.
The City Annimal Welfare Shelter in Oklahoma City

458
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.839
has had to close down for the
second time since March because of this kind

459
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.240
of infection that's floating around with dogs. It's highly infectious. It's something that

460
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:38.599
if you have your dog in a
kennel setting or in doggy daycare or even

461
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:45.680
at the dog park that your dog
could come into contact with this. So

462
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:51.599
in the same way that isolating yourself
from other people will help to prevent you

463
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:56.400
getting the flu, same with dogs. And so yeah, social distancing if

464
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:57.759
you will, to try to prevent
the speed of this. But yeah,

465
00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:03.359
there are almost all outbreaks going on
somewhere in North Carolina, Oklahoma right now.

466
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:06.440
A couple of states have never had
a problem with it at all.

467
00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:10.920
North Dakota, Nebraska, they don't
have an issue with this. That seems

468
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:14.119
interesting. You mentioned I'm going to
circle back before I have to let you

469
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:15.880
go to the top. You mentioned
a website right there. Can we revisit

470
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.079
that so people can look up their
own data. Sure, dog flu dot

471
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:22.920
com. Okay, dog flu dot
com and it'll show the outbreak map.

472
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:30.400
It has frequently asked questions and ways
that you can help to protect your dog.

473
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:32.559
All right, Jim Ryan, thank
you so much for your time this

474
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:36.880
morning. Take care. ABC Senior
reporter, Jim Ryan. I did ask

475
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:40.359
my sister in law, who was
a veterinarian here in LA. She used

476
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:42.799
to be a vent for a couple
of horse tracks in the area as well,

477
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:47.039
and she says that the biggest problem
we face now is a shortage of

478
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:52.720
vaccinations due to manufacturing supply chain issues
at her particular hospital, which is in

479
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:56.200
Burbank. We have enough for puppies
to start their series of two flu vaccinations

480
00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:00.279
and to continue annual vaccinations for adult
dogs who have obviously gotten the vacs,

481
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:07.039
but they are not able to give
adult dogs a start on that vax because

482
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.920
of the low volume and inventory that
they have, and she says hopefully the

483
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:14.480
producers will be able to get it
together soon and get back out there.

484
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:19.279
Most boarding facilities and groomers are requiring
those vaccinations these days, so checkout dog

485
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:22.160
flu dot com and you'll get some
more information there as well. Let's get

486
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:23.839
back to some of the stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

487
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:27.920
Investigators have called the death of a
man near a bus stop in downtown

488
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.880
LA suspicious. Officials say the man's
body was found on the ground near the

489
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:36.319
Civic Center Grand Park metro station last
night. They say a bus was seen

490
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:38.160
park next to the man, but
he was never on the bus. They

491
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:43.160
are waiting for a corner report to
determine if he suffered from some kind of

492
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:46.759
energy injury. Wallet hub has ranked
the ten best places for young people to

493
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:52.920
start their careers, and it skipped
over LA New York and DC wallet Hubs

494
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:57.759
twenty twenty three best and worst list
compared availability of jobs, income, and

495
00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:00.519
cost of living in one hundred and
eighty two six across the US. It

496
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:06.839
says is the best place for young
people to start their post graduate ready Atlanta.

497
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:08.960
It also named cities in Florida,
South Carolina, Utah, Texas,

498
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:13.720
Pennsylvania, and Minnesota another workplace.
When don't ask me to come into the

499
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:17.000
office more often or all quit.
That's the view of more than half of

500
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:22.640
the sixteen hundred professional and retail investors
surveyed by Bloomberg. They prefer a hybrid

501
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:28.160
arrangement, while only about twenty percent
favor working from the office. Now,

502
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.000
that sets finance workers up for a
battle of remote working with Wall Street types

503
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:35.559
who've been pushing for a return to
the office. You probably saw JP Morgan

504
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:42.319
had ended arrangements for remote work,
asking its managing directors in April to come

505
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:45.440
back in full time. Fans are
saying see you down the road to the

506
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:50.200
star of one of the all time
great car Chase movies, actor Barry Newman

507
00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:52.039
became sort of a household name in
the seventies when he started in the legal

508
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.519
drama Petric Shelley. He was nominated
for an Emmy for it in nineteen seventy

509
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:05.359
five, but he was best known
for Vanishing Point Occupation Driver, transporting a

510
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:09.880
Supercharge Dodge Challenger from Gender to San
Francisco. The nineteen seventy one movie became

511
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:15.320
an existential and highly influential cult classic. Newman's wife told The Hollywood Reporter he

512
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.719
died of natural causes at a hospital
in New York. He was ninety two.

513
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:22.039
Mark Ronner KFI News. Hundreds of
workers at Dodger Stadium could go on

514
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:25.440
strike next month if a contract is
not negotiated by the end of the month.

515
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:30.559
The union representing the workers say more
than eighty people protested outside the ballpark

516
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:35.639
Saturday. The union says the workers
are asking for a wage raise and added

517
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:39.599
healthcare benefits. Union officials say they've
been negotiating with the Dodgers since November over

518
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:45.440
a contract that expired in January.
The union represents around five hundred workers,

519
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:49.480
and the two groups are expected to
talk again later this week. The US

520
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:52.840
Military has released a video of what
it calls an unsafe maneuver in the Taiwan

521
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:58.480
Strait by China. Officials say one
of China's navy ships cut sharply across the

522
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:01.239
path of a US destroyer Saturday,
forcing the ship to slow down to avoid

523
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:05.840
a crash. The maneuver was happening
while the US and Canada were conducting what

524
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:09.719
they call freedom of navigation transit.
China claims the strait is part of its

525
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:14.840
exclusive zone, while the US says
the waters are international. And reportedly,

526
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:17.519
those two ships, those two huge
ships, came within one hundred and fifty

527
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:21.440
yards of each other. The next
time you go to the drive through for

528
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:23.400
lunch, double check and make sure
you didn't get an extra side of coke.

529
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:28.639
A worker for Sonic Drive In has
been arrested by police in New Mexico.

530
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.280
His bag of cocaine allegedly ended up
in the hot dog of a female

531
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:35.480
customer, and the woman noticed that
the drugs were there when she took a

532
00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:38.400
bite of her hot dog. Police
say that security videos shows the fast food

533
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:43.679
worker frantically looking for something that he
lost. The worker admitted to authorities that

534
00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:45.840
the coke belonged to him and he
bought it from someone in the parking lot

535
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:50.079
of the Sonic. The customer who
discovered the drugs and her food, when

536
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:53.280
interviewed by local media, clearly indicated
that the incident was an unhappy meal.

537
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:58.760
Andrew Caravella KFI News, Well,
Spider Man Across the Spider Verse has made

538
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:01.519
one hundred and twenty point five million
dollars this weekend to lead all films at

539
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:07.199
the North American box office. My
name smiles Morally, I'm Brooken's one and

540
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.880
only Spider and things are going great. I'm going to be adding to that

541
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:16.679
total later today or tomorrow. Industry
estimate say Sony's Spidy sequel scored the second

542
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:21.559
biggest opening this year, behind the
Super Mario Brothers movie, which made one

543
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:24.400
hundred and forty six million in its
first weekend. The first Spider Verse movie

544
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:29.280
opened in twenty eighteen to just thirty
five and a half million dollars. It

545
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:31.639
went on to win an Oscar though
for Best Animated Feature, which kind of

546
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:37.000
ups the game when it comes to
you know what's going to happen when you

547
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:42.079
get the version two, Version three, couple more before we get to the

548
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:44.840
top of the hour and handle on
the news. A driver on the ninety

549
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:47.760
one Freeway has been seen on video
standing straight out of the driver's side window

550
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:52.079
as it drives down the road in
Corona. The man who was standing up

551
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:55.079
with his arms stretched out was wearing
a green shirt, dark pants, and

552
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:59.360
a red bandanna as he stood on
the ledge of the open window yesterday.

553
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:01.639
Unclear if anyone was in the car
with him or how he was able to

554
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:07.519
steer or keep the car moving.
Southern California weather, Do not try this

557
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:17.800

beach areas of LA and OC. Tonight,

558
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:22.760
mostly cloudy again and the chance of
rain stays at twenty percent. Overnight

559
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:25.159
lows in the fifties. Tomorrow,
the chance of rain dissipates and the high
