WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:05.440 You're listening to Wake Up Call with Jennifer Jones Lee on demand from kf I 2 00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:11.039 AM six forty. Good morning everyone, five am. This is your wake 3 00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:16.120 up call. It's Friday. Lots of pictures floating around the socials of coffee 4 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:20.519 this morning. I don't know why. Oh, it's National Donut Day as 5 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:23.960 well. I was watching. Yeah, we don't have any in the newsroom 6 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.519 just yet, but I've been watching the East Coast broadcast, the morning broadcasts, 7 00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:31.399 and they're all like chomping on donuts on TV, which is frankly not 8 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:36.520 okay. I mean, enjoy your donut. Sure, let the red light 9 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.840 go off first. Anyway, it is National Donut Day. We'll have more 10 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.439 on that later this hour. I'm sure. Friday, June second, I'm 11 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:49.359 in today and Monday for Jennifer Jones Lee. So, Miss Jennifer is celebrating 12 00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:56.600 an academic anniversary of some note this weekend. It's a high school graduation reunion. 13 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.240 Is it a reunion? It's a thirty year reunion. Thirty okay, 14 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.560 see, I wasn't going to drop the year. I was gonna just thirty 15 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.560 years. Thank you, Tyler. Almost as old as me. Math on 16 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:14.040 the radio all so she hit the rodeo a few weeks ago. Now she's 17 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:19.200 going back up for a high school reunion of some well, Tyler did the 18 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.280 math force right there. We have a big show, so let's get to 19 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.959 it. Here are for you quick headlines before we get into the interviews for 20 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.040 your wake up call. Last night, the Senate did pass a bill that 21 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.280 suspends the nation's debt ceiling for two years. Potential default on paying the government's 22 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.879 bills has been avoided. The vote was sixty three to thirty six, with 23 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.239 the bill now heading to President Biden's desk. We're gonna have more than just 24 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.879 a few minutes from Capitol Hill and from ABC's Karen Travers on this one. 25 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.280 In Long Beach yesterday morning, a stranger grabbed a twelve year old girl as 26 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.799 she walked to school. It happened around eight thirty am near Washington Middle School. 27 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.239 The girl managed to escape the man who wrapped his arms around her. 28 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:06.439 Long Beach PD is searching for the suspect and has increased bike and foot patrols 29 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.840 in the area for this morning and for the foreseeable. I would imagine Florida 30 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:17.439 eighth grader Dev Shaw is the winner of the twenty twenty three Scripts National Spelling 31 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.080 b I remember when this was not such a huge deal, and then I 32 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.080 think ESPN picked it up, and yeah, and then and that made it 33 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.319 a deal. And then and then every newsperson anywhere had to start learning how 34 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.400 to spell better because we had to report on it. The teenager did correctly 35 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:40.000 spell this word sam a file. She or de dev Shaw, won the 36 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:46.639 ninety fifth annual competition a fifty thousand dollars grand prize, which is cool, 37 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:52.560 okay. Sam a file is an organism that prefers or thrives in sandy soils 38 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:58.240 or areas. I probably would not have spelled this one, right, I 39 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.919 don't know. I don't I don't know my Latin enough to know the root 40 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.560 word of sand, so I imagine that has something to do with this. 41 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:09.479 But it's psammo phi l e samo file. So congratulations to Devshaw, a 42 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:15.439 Florida eighth grader who is getting her at their name read all over the nation 43 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:21.000 this morning and gets a check for fifty thousand dollars as promised in just a 44 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.319 few minutes. Today's two inch headline is America's credit has almost full faith after 45 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:30.360 the fiscal responsibility Act past the Senate heads to the President's desk for a signature. 46 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.840 President Biden is expected to speak on national television later today. ABC's Karen 47 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.240 Travers is going to be on the line from Capitol Hill. Let's start with 48 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.080 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Two 49 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.960 people, including a fourteen year old, have been hurt in a shooting in 50 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:49.000 LA's mid city area. The LAPD says the shooting yesterday happened near Guthrie Avenue 51 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.560 and Corning Street. Officials say the teen boy and a thirty year old man 52 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:57.759 were taken to the hospital. No arrests are made. A man charged with 53 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.159 starting a wildfire and the tribuco Can area of Orange County has been found not 54 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.680 guilty. Prosecutors had alleged Forest Clark started the fire in twenty eighteen when he 55 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:11.840 set a neighbor's cabin on fire. Clark was convicted yesterday of making criminal threats. 56 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.199 The fire burned more than twenty three thousand acres and destroyed at twenty four 57 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.120 buildings. The Orange County Register says Demand's cabin was the only one of fourteen 58 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:26.360 left standing on the line with US as ABC's White House correspondent carried Travers. 59 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.639 The Senate got the bill from the House on Wednesday night. The Fiscal Responsibility 60 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.759 Act got through the Senior Chamber pretty fast. Good morning, Karen, Good 61 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.800 morning. Yesterday we talked about maybe at least three Senators who had some sort 62 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.920 of objection to the Fiscal Responsibility Act as it landed in the Senate. Seems 63 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.639 like they showed some restraint and got this thing through. What happened with that? 64 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.279 Yeah, they did. Yeah, they had about three hours of debate. 65 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:53.079 They voted on eleven amendments before final passage. All of the amendments failed, 66 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.720 but they moved it really quickly. I mean, there was certainly a 67 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.519 sense that maybe they could get it done yesterday, more likely going to still 68 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.040 into Friday. But all of a sudden, it was like on the fast 69 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.480 track, and they got it done late last night. But it ended up 70 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:10.759 being sixty three to thirty six vote, forty six Democrats on board, seventeen 71 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.680 Republicans supporting the bill. But you know, you did have a majority of 72 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.079 Senate Republicans voting against it. Some were pushing for more defense spending. Lindsay 73 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.879 Graham said, the people who negotiated this I wouldn't let them buy me a 74 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.600 car. And it's kind of notable because remember we probably talked about this a 75 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.879 couple weeks ago, how hands off Mitch McConnell was in the negotiating process, 76 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.639 saying, this is up to Kevin McCarthy, the House Speaker, and President 77 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.720 Biden to work out the deal. The Senate Republicans, they're in the majority, 78 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.079 excuse me, minority, they were on the sidelines of all of this, 79 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.639 So it was sort of interesting to see some of them complaining pretty loudly 80 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.920 yesterday about the legislation. Maybe somebody should let send it to Graham. Know, 81 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.160 a lot of people buy cars online. They did themselves, that is 82 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.000 true. This is okay, Father right, Father left. Both were grousing 83 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:02.399 about this deal on Wednesday evening to Thursday. Is this as close to bipartisanship 84 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.519 as we've seen in a while. The math seems to bear that out, 85 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:11.199 But I'm not sure what you see absolutely in this day and age. Absolutely 86 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.759 it is, And you know, the White House is touting that, saying, 87 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:16.600 you know, this was, first of all, like the best everybody 88 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.639 could do given the divided government. The message we keep hearing from the White 89 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.959 House from Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader from Kevin McCarthy is that no 90 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.120 one gets everything they want in a negotiation, and nobody got everything they wanted 91 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.240 here. But this was what we could get to given the state of play, 92 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.879 and I think that's notable. It's sort of a managing of expectations now 93 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:41.000 that this is all done. But you're right, this is probably the most 94 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:46.519 bipartisan you could do given the high stakes, given the deep kind of consternation 95 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.120 for many on the different flanks, the right and the left, about this 96 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.279 bill. But they got it done, and they got it done was a 97 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.639 couple of days despair. So the President Y wants to sign it as quickly 98 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.560 as possible, likely will be today, but it's only June's second and it's 99 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.839 got until June tenth. That's good, right, exactly. Talk about brinksmanship. 100 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:09.120 Wow, this wasn't even as close as twenty eleven. But yeah, 101 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.959 but you mentioned right there that the president had to remind everybody that nobody gets 102 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.600 everything they want in a negotiation, and to have that come back up is 103 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.720 kind of like speaks to the tenor of politics right now. Biden is expected, 104 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.920 I believe to speak tonight. Is that still gone. Yes, a 105 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:29.319 rare overoffice address from the President tonight. He said he wants to talk about 106 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:33.439 averting a desault and also the bipartisan agreement, so like what's in the legislation. 107 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:38.839 He's going to deliver remarks tonight then from the White House. And Okay, 108 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.240 that's pretty much the upper end of that expectation. I've got about thirty 109 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.600 seconds left. It's National Donut Day. Do you guys get donuts in your 110 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.199 press room in DC? I just had to ask, why did I think 111 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:54.279 we did it yesterday at the Bureau. I saw a picture of it. 112 00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:58.560 Maybe we jumped the gun a little bit because everybody was empty about the vote 113 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.519 and those a little overworked. But I missed it because of being over at 114 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.439 the White House. So he'd like to I guess I should go out today 115 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.600 and pick up some flour. Team here just wondering. Karen, It's always 116 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.800 good to talk with you. Thank you so much for your time this week, 117 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.079 and I hope you can have some time off this weekend. Thank you 118 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:20.240 have a great weekend. ABC's Karen Travers going to have a nice weekend. 119 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.759 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 120 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.879 hour news room. Hotel workers in LA and Orange Counties say they are getting 121 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.240 ready for a strike if demands for higher wages are ignored. Co president of 122 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.120 the union Kurt Peterson says workers would be willing to strike as long as it 123 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.440 takes to get what they need. We're talking about, you know, dozens 124 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:43.879 of hotels in southern California, Los Angeles and Orange County, everything from the 125 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:50.039 Weston bonnamentor downtown to the JW marryat La Live. Peterson says workers will vote 126 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.440 next week on whether to authorize a strike. If approved, it would be 127 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.960 the largest hotel worker strike in the US in fifty years. He says workers 128 00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.039 are asking for a forty to fifty sent pay raise and free healthcare for their 129 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.159 families. Keep in mind, the World Cup and the Olympics are coming to 130 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.679 southern California and relatively soon. A woman in Irvine is facing multiple animal cruelty 131 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:16.000 charges for using construction grade masking tape to wrap shut the snouts of several dogs. 132 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.399 Dogs need to pant to be able to cool their bodies down. Irvine 133 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.080 Police Sergeant Carey Davies says the woman admitted to taping up the dogs to prevent 134 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.879 them from barking and nipping at other dogs. It can be very dangerous, 135 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:30.639 especially when the weather heats up and they're not able to breathe properly. A 136 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.360 bet determined the dogs were otherwise okay. She is looking at three felony counts 137 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.000 of animal cruelty, and that's one count for each dog that had their mouth 138 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.480 tape shut. The woman was arrested Saturday, signed the dogs over to the 139 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.480 city, and bailed out in Orange County. Corbin Carson kof I News. 140 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.000 People using the diabetes and weight loss drug ozempic say it's helping to curb their 141 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:56.000 addictive behaviors. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health published a study recently showing 142 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:01.080 how semaglutide, the generic name for ozempic, reduces alcohol drinking in rodents. 143 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.879 They say it could influence interest in alcohol because the drug effects the gut and 144 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.279 the brain. A man who allegedly try to steal more than a thousand dollars 145 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.840 worth of legos has been arrested in Upland. We reported this yesterday morning. 146 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.679 Police say the man tried to swipe the bricks Wednesday from a target at the 147 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.120 Colony's crossroads. Police say someone saw him loading the legos into a shopping cart. 148 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.120 Police say the man is being investigated for similar crimes in other cities. 149 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.960 A murder trial could be postponed again in the hit and run crash that killed 150 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.559 two brothers in a crosswalk in Westlake Village. The boy's mom says says it's 151 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.919 been almost three years since the Grossman Burne Foundation co founder killed her sons. 152 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.240 It would certainly be easier to forgive if the person ask for forgiveness or says 153 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.600 I'm sorry. I am required to eventually forgive because of my faith, but 154 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.399 the lack of responsibility is making it much much harder. Defense lawyers have challenged 155 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.679 claims the driver was doing eighty miles an hour and even suggested another car hit 156 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.480 the ways. They say the crash was a tragic accident, not murder. 157 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.159 Okay. The main jobs report is going to land later this hour, and 158 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.519 it should show an increase in hiring across the country. The monthly payroll report 159 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.200 from the Labor Department comes out this morning, projected to show a hiring increase 160 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.919 of about one hundred and ninety thousand jobs last month. Economists also expect the 161 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.120 report to show a slight bump in the unemployment rate to three point five percent. 162 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.519 It's now been a month since the Writer's Guild of America strikes started, 163 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.759 and it shows no signs of reaching a conclusion. Hollywood screenwriters called a strike 164 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:37.720 for the first time in fifteen years after negotiations stalled over increased pay for some 165 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:43.360 eleven thousand, five hundred union members. Artificial intelligence concerns are also on that 166 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.200 list of issues, among others. President Biden is joking about the fall he 167 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.480 took yesterday during the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony. Biden staffers say the president 168 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.279 tripped on a sandbag that was holding up a teleprompter on the stage in Colorado 169 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.799 Springs. After returning to Washington, DC, Biden joked with reporters in one 170 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.480 of those chopper talks that he got sandbagged while walking across the stage. Hey, 171 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.759 you got to own it, right when the video's floating around, you 172 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:15.399 have to own it. Former President Trump is taking aim at President Biden and 173 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.960 rond Santists in the Fox News town hall. Trump fielded questions in Iowa last 174 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.440 night at a town hall hosted by Fox News. Sean Hannity and told the 175 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.120 crowd he's not only attacking to Stantists because he's in second place in the GOP 176 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.120 polls and he thinks he'll be third or fourth before too long. And by 177 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:37.960 he I'm pretty sure that the President was talking about Rond Santists. So let's 178 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.720 look at a couple of more stories from the KFY twenty four hour news room. 179 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.639 Officials say people who use Venmo, PayPal and cash app should deposit their 180 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.360 money as soon as possible, rather than letting it sit in their app accounts. 181 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.120 The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says the money may not be safe during a 182 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.639 crisis. Money stored in Venmo or other similar apps may not be protected by 183 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:03.360 the FDIC since they are not traditional bank accounts. Apple Cash can be insured 184 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.960 through Green Dot Bank, but requires a user to verify their identity to get 185 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.080 deposit insurance. Of course, Apple Cash and the rollover Savy's account came out 186 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.000 last month. That is from through Goldman Sacks. I gotta check and make 187 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.039 sure that that's verified. I'll have that for you later this hour. Police 188 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.039 in West Palm Beach, Florida, are stepping up security efforts for the first 189 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.320 weekend of Pride month. The city is celebrating its fourth annual Pride on the 190 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:33.679 Block event from the Westbalm Basis weekend. Enjoy yourself. We're going to make 191 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.320 sure we do everything we possibly can to make this a safe event for you. 192 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.080 Police Chief Frank Adderley says officers responded to a threat last year. Officials 193 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.480 say police in uniform and undercover will be at the event, as well as 194 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.879 hiring EMTs from the Fire Department. We have our own Pride stories coming up 195 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.240 later this morning on KFI. Blake Trolley will be out reporting live. A 196 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.360 man has been arrested in Laguna de guel for allegedly duping investors and using their 197 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.039 money to his lavish lifestyle. Amalu Diallo, who's from Senegal, is accused 198 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.200 of telling investors he was one of the wealthiest men in Africa. Prosecutors say 199 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:13.000 Diallo used two Newport Beach based businesses to get people to invest in bogus business 200 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.679 opportunities, then use their money on himself. During Diallo's arrest yesterday, investigators 201 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.720 took a range Rover, Ferrari and Rolls Royce from his home. Investigators say 202 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.360 Dialu stole one point eight million dollars from at least eleven people. Blake Trolley 203 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.519 Kafy News. Well, the Senate has passed that debt limit bill. We 204 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.799 just talked with ABC's Karen Travers about the sixty bote threshold having been achieved. 205 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:41.240 The bill is past. President Biden says both parties demonstrated America pays its bills 206 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.639 and meets its obligations. He added that he'll sign the bill into law as 207 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.759 soon as possible. He also said no one gets everything they want in the 208 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:52.600 negotiation. Biden's signature averts a debt default ahead of the so called xtate, 209 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.480 which was basically Monday. All right, good morning everybody, twenty one minutes 210 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.799 after five o'clock. This is your wake up call, right now, let's 211 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.679 walk. Come in ABC analyst and law enforcement reporter Luke Barr. We've all 212 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.879 seen the porch pirate videos before from doorbell security, Luke, things like rain 213 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.080 cameras. But something went down with allegations from the FTC and Amazon. Can 214 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.759 you catch us up on what happened? Yeah, So thanks for having those 215 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.480 ring security cameras. You know, there's an expensive security camera that people can 216 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.039 hook up in their houses or on their doors, will not fully secure for 217 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:30.159 years. According to the FTC, the Video doorbell company allegedly gave every employee 218 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:35.879 full access to every customer video before twenty seventeen and failed perpetch bugs in their 219 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.440 system which allowed hackers to access cameras and scare consumers. The FTC says in 220 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:45.879 a federal complaint files here in DC so, Luke, you mentioned there that 221 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:52.240 the employees internally had access or unauthorized or immoral access to videos created by consumers, 222 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.279 But there's also a cyber attack opportunity in coming from outside too. Did 223 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:04.279 ft FTC address that they sure did so. Basically, the company also allegedly 224 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:10.840 systematically failed to control two types of cyber attacks and failed to patch those system 225 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:18.000 vulnerabilities before January twenty twenty. DFTC says because Ring allegedly did not take appropriate 226 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:23.519 security measures despite knowing about the problems, the attacks quote continued to succeed through 227 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:29.120 December of twenty nineteen. And of course then you saw those media reports even 228 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.399 going into early in the pandemic of Ring doorbells getting excuse me, ring cameras 229 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.440 in the house getting hacked. So those videos of people getting talked to by 230 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:42.159 hackers in their houses while they're watching TV while they're sleeping. Really scary stuff, 231 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.480 Yeah, it really is. Does this set a new standard? Does 232 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.879 I know Amazon did not admit to any wrongdoing necessarily, but is this going 233 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:57.679 to set a standard within the security camera category for consumers or has that already 234 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:03.120 been set? Well? The company says they disagree with some of the FTC 235 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.759 finings. They didn't go into sort of what they disagree with. They did, 236 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:11.720 however, pay a fine to the FTC amost six million dollars, and 237 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:18.480 they say that the issues are promptly addressed years ago and the focus sort of 238 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:25.039 remains for Ring on delivering products in the features that customers love. But it's 239 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.559 important to note that, you know, some of these issues happened before twenty 240 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:32.960 seventeen, or sort of that access and unauthorized access happened before twenty seventeen, 241 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.960 and Ring was purchased by Amazon in twenty eighteen, and ever since then they 242 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.000 sort of started to clean up their their their act a little bit. Yeah, 243 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:42.759 you're right, and boy, as a culture, we sure have matured 244 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:47.799 over the last five years when it comes to video access and files that just 245 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.960 drifted around on servers. You mentioned that they bought Ring back in April of 246 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:57.680 twenty eighteen, if I remember correctly. Amazon also bought I Robot just last 247 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:03.079 year, actually in twenty twenty two, late summer twenty twenty two. Is 248 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.240 Amazon on the hook or are they just the two witch headline here because they 249 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.319 are the big dog with market cap and presence in the consumer space when it 250 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:15.200 comes to this, well, I think certainly, because they're sort of the 251 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.240 big dog, they draw a lot more scrutiny, right, They're a lot 252 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.160 bigger, they have a lot more you know, visibility for consumers, right, 253 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.400 And really, when you think about home video systems, the first thing 254 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.160 you sort of think about is ring. Not many people know, of course 255 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.920 it's owned by Amazon, So I think that sort of led to FTC's a 256 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:38.119 sort of inquiry about this, and then obviously the subsequent complate and then you 257 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.839 know, when you looked at sort of the hacking of it all right, 258 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.519 the ability for hackers to get into their sort of systems, and you know, 259 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:49.480 the FTCs at at one point hackers were in the system for up to 260 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.880 a month and some consumer systems up to a month. So you know, 261 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:57.119 when those complaints that are started coming in to the FTC, they sort of 262 00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:03.480 started to investigate and look into these and then ultimately we had this week was 263 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.000 a complaint filably federal court by the FCC. I guess I have one more 264 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.279 question for you on this one. We're speaking speaking with ABC's legal analyst and 265 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.480 security analyst Luke Barr, the FTC Commissioner. After this came out this week, 266 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:17.880 he said in a statement that this is a very clear, clear signature 267 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.000 other tech signal to other tech companies that collect data. Do you think writ 268 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.160 large this has any impact on the collection of data and the security of data 269 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.200 or is this just part of the piece. Well, I think that it 270 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:37.160 certainly sends a message. As the FTC Commissioner said too. You know all 271 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.680 companies that don't secure their systems right and they make their their devices vulnerable. 272 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:47.000 It certainly puts them on notice that, look, these things can happen. 273 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:52.519 Protecting consumers is important and so allowing for consumers to be safe, especially when 274 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:57.839 it's like you know, the the access is so personal right in your in 275 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:03.200 your bedroom, talking to your kids, right Like, I think it puts 276 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.759 these companies are noticed that that hey, pactor systems make sure things are up 277 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.279 to snuff and uh and and you know we won't investigate you. Yeah. 278 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.039 I mean we talked about the porch pirate videos at the top, because we've 279 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:18.160 all seen those rerun on television news and whatnot or on our social media feeds. 280 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.680 But there was an add on cameras you could just post up anywhere in 281 00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.200 your house. And I think one of the allegations was that a male employee 282 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:27.640 was looking at females in the restroom or in their bathroom, are getting ready 283 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:33.480 for work in the mornings. I mean that that's intensely private stuff. Well, 284 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.000 that's exactly right. And and in fact, the ftc alleges that not 285 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:44.440 only were were were the stickup cameras targeted the most. Virtually none of the 286 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.319 doorbell cameras were even looked at by one employee at least of the company. 287 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.480 So and you know, it just sort of shows how what what broad access? 288 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.960 Right, there's that there's an adage that one bad apple right in the 289 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.160 company. Uh, you know, you could have nine hundred and nine good 290 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:06.240 employees and then you know with unfettered access or you know, unauthorized to authorized 291 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.200 actis to all the sort of consumer video. But them, of course, 292 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:12.680 is that won that apple that you know puts things, uh, you know, 293 00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:15.559 into into perspective for all the people. Yeah, you're right. It's 294 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.559 a reminder that our data lives need to be protected just like our physical lives. 295 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:25.359 Totally. ABC analyst and law enforcement reporter Luke Barr Luke always a pleasure. 296 00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:27.440 Thank you so much for joining us this morning.

CNN says in the audio recording, Trump acknowledgist holding onto a 340 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.920 classified document regarding a potential attack on Iran, and that he would like to 341 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:52.400 share the information, but is aware of limitations with declassifying records. News is 342 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:55.519 brought to you by American Vision Windows. At fifty, we're going to close 343 00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:57.440 the Wake Up Called with ABC's Jim Ryan. This morning's topic, Jim is 344 00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:03.240 here to talk about Hurricanes season. It officially kicked off yesterday. Right now 345 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.119 on Wake Up Call is kfi's very own Dean Sharp. Dean is not only 346 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.799 the House Whisper. He's also the host of that show. He's a killer 347 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.160 website over at house Whisperer dot design and if you on the Graham, his 348 00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:19.079 handle is at home with Dean. National Pollinator Week starts June nineteenth. I 349 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.720 think I think we should preview that, don't you, Dean? Uh, 350 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.559 you know what it's news to me, So yeah, let's bring breaking stuff 351 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.000 all over the place with these dates and anniversaries. Dean, um, thank 352 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.519 you for joining us. First of all, as always a pleasure. Second 353 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.759 of all, our bees. Cool bees are the coolest and that's what I 354 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.359 think too. I like beet shirts. Why why are you bringing up how 355 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:44.799 why is the House Whisperer bringing up bees this week with us? Well, 356 00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:48.720 okay, so it's not by the weekend, but I am bringing them up 357 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.359 because it's relevant. They've been in the news. We've had some attacks that 358 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.640 are kind of high profile, some bee incidents in the last couple of weeks. 359 00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:02.240 I am a beekeeper, you know, so you know, novice beekeeper, 360 00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:06.880 amateur beekeeper. So I'm sitting here, I've got about forty thousand young 361 00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:11.640 ladies just you know, probably twenty five feet away from my studio here whoah, 362 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.799 Yeah, that's you know, that's just a typical hive quantity and a 363 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:21.960 hive. But the point is this, Uh, it has relevance to our 364 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:27.119 homes because this time of year, people find unwelcome bees in their yards. 365 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:33.359 And I don't just mean the honey bees bopping around on the flowers. I'm 366 00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.640 talking about you could wake up and find a whole massive bees moving across your 367 00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:41.680 yard unexpectedly, a cloud of bees. You could find a large clump of 368 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.720 bees hanging from a wall or a tree or a fence. And given the 369 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:52.960 high profile incidents that happened what in Encino this last week and before that in 370 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:57.440 Pasadena, I just want to make sure that everybody's getting the straight scoop on 371 00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:02.359 this because we've worked very very very hard in Southern California. A lot of 372 00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:06.599 people have worked very very hard to get bees back in their rightful place here. 373 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:10.440 A lot of folks worked very hard to get backyard beekeeping as a part 374 00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:15.160 of Southern California culture again, which it is in many many municipalities. Now, 375 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:19.079 what we don't want to do is kind of embrace the hype of certain 376 00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:26.759 I would say, loosely responsible headlines and get so afraid that if you're going 377 00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.759 to walk outside and if there are a couple of bees around, that we're 378 00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:34.119 going to go ahead and get back on a track that we were a quarter 379 00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:44.000 century ago, which is destroying every miscellaneous a colony that there is out there. 380 00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:45.359 That is not the way to go. Now, there's going to be 381 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:49.559 a lot more bee activity this spring, especially because we're in a super bloom. 382 00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:52.960 We've had a wet, long winter, We've had a mild spring. 383 00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:57.440 The flowers are loving it, and so are the bees. But with that, 384 00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:04.079 they're gonna be some incidents of the africanized more aggressive bees, you know, 385 00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:08.200 getting on people's nerves. Okay, that's fair. Now, sometimes depending 386 00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:11.799 on circumstances at homes, I understand that artificial turf should be installed in some 387 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.640 places. I get that meadows are also pitched as things. What are something 388 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.319 if you have a meadow, if you're wildflowers, if you're doing that California 389 00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:22.000 poppy thing, and you have that super bloom. What are some typical things 390 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.759 that might come up for homeowners when it comes to bees, and how should 391 00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.240 we prep for it? Because I'm listening hard here, Well, you know 392 00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:30.680 what really nothing, I mean, you're just gonna you know, you're gonna 393 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:34.079 have bees. Bees on wildflowers. That's what they are. They're a keystone 394 00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:40.240 species. Without them, we lose easily, almost instantly, a third of 395 00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:45.359 our food supply. And so they're out there doing their job. They're interested 396 00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.400 in the flowers, not you. That's the most important thing that everybody needs 397 00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:55.119 to realize that bees. Yes, people get stung by a bee, you 398 00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:59.759 know, every day, you know, somewhere. But bees are not on 399 00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:04.039 the attack. They really really are not. When bees get aggressive, all 400 00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:08.599 they are doing is defending their own colony and their own interest in that sense. 401 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.640 So I just want everybody to realize that, and a lot of things 402 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:17.480 get to you know, pushed in these stories like man attacked by a swarm 403 00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:22.039 of bees. Actually, that's just patently or technically untrue. A swarm everybody 404 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:29.359 should know, Yeah, in beekeeping parlance is a very very specific biological thing. 405 00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:33.200 It is not simply a word that we use to describe a group of 406 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:38.920 bees. A swarm, and we're talking about twenty thousand plus bees. Is 407 00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:45.279 a colony that has divided, that's multiplying, and half of that colony has 408 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:52.240 now left its safe home and is out there unprotected, looking for a new 409 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.839 home. Because they are doing that, you may see a massive cloud of 410 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:02.160 bees move across your property temporarily just for a few minutes. They are not 411 00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.279 interested in you. Swarms do not attack people. Now, if you find 412 00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:10.640 yourself standing in the middle of one, just stand still, walk away calmly. 413 00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:12.160 If you start swatting at them, yeah, and you might get some 414 00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:17.319 reactions. But I have actually stood in a cloud swarm before. I've had 415 00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:21.759 bees literally bouncing off my chest, in my shoulders, not a single sting. 416 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:25.880 And the reason is they have other things on their mind. All they 417 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:29.920 want to do is find a new home. That's a swarm. What people 418 00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:36.319 see in the news is what we call a little attack party, which is 419 00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:42.039 when a hive sends out a small group of bees to defend the hive from 420 00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:48.519 a perceived threat. Now European honey bees, the attack parties are about men. 421 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.480 Maybe you have to maybe four to six bees at the most. It's 422 00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:57.880 that's it. The Africanized aggressive Africanized colonies, that's the problem. When they 423 00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:02.880 get disturbed, you could send out fifty two, one hundred bees and that's 424 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:06.480 what we saw an Encino is what we saw in Pasadena the week before. 425 00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:10.440 These are incredibly rare. I just want to remind everybody the reason they're in 426 00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:14.759 the news is because they're amazingly rare. That's why their news worthy. Because 427 00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.759 they're rare, you don't have to panic about it. You knew I was 428 00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:19.640 going to nerd out on the nomenclature there, but I was going to go 429 00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:25.400 with clatch or huddle of bees. You nailed it thirty seconds. When you 430 00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:27.880 see these colonies or you have them near your house, who should you call 431 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:32.240 and why? Well, okay, so there's two different things. As quickly 432 00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:37.039 as I can say, if you see bees moving in and out of a 433 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:41.319 strange area or structure, like maybe the corner of your roof or something like 434 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.279 that, then you've actually got a hive that's forming. Okay, that's a 435 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:49.920 home that's forming where it shouldn't be. You should call a bee removal service, 436 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.319 not a pesticide company, not a pest control company. You want to 437 00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:59.319 call a removal service because a humane one, one that's interested in rehoming those 438 00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:01.319 bees. But also they're going to clear them out. They're going to take 439 00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:05.599 away all of the hive, all of the honey, so that you don't 440 00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:10.039 have further structural problems with an unattended bees wax and honey in your walls. 441 00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:15.000 However, if it's just a clump of bees outside somewhere, hanging on a 442 00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:20.119 tree, hanging on a wall, do nothing. In about twenty four to 443 00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:22.480 forty eight hours, they will be gone. That is that swarm that I 444 00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:27.039 was talking about. There's a new queen in the middle there. That's swarm. 445 00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:30.799 They're looking for a home. They're only temporarily parked in your yard. 446 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.720 Fascinating stuff, it really is. Dean. Thank you so much for the 447 00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:36.279 time every week. I love talking with you on Friday. Thank you so 448 00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:39.160 much. Love it, buddy, Take care. That's Kfi's house, whisper 449 00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:43.160 Dean Sharp And if you're not following him on the Graham, go ahead. 450 00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.960 It's at home with Dean of course KFI am six forty dot com if you 451 00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:49.880 want to find him there. Just a few minutes ago, the job's report 452 00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:54.640 came in and it came in way hotter than expected. Employers added three hundred 453 00:32:54.640 --> 00:33:00.160 and thirty nine thousand jobs in May. That's the latest sign that this booming 454 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:02.880 labor market could help keep the country from slipping into a recession. I'm on 455 00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:07.160 the fence with that one. We all expected one hundred and ninety thousand jobs. 456 00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:09.559 We got three hundred and thirty nine thousand. Now, the unemployment rate 457 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:13.839 did rise to three point seven percent last month. That's up from three point 458 00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.240 four percent. That's not as bad as it may sound. That just means 459 00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:21.720 that there are more people looking for work. The labor participation rate is up. 460 00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:23.799 Last night, the Senate passed a bill that would suspend the nation's debt 461 00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:29.519 ceiling for two years. Potential default on paying the government's bills has been avoided. 462 00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:32.240 The vote was sixty three to thirty six, with the bill now headed 463 00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:37.440 to President Biden's desk. And the head of Twitter's trust and Safety team is 464 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:44.319 resigning. Ella Irwin oversaw content moderation for the social media platform until yesterday, 465 00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:47.480 when she told Reuters that she had stepped down and declined to give an answer 466 00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:53.079 as to why it is five fifty one On your wake Up Call. We're 467 00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:57.000 going to wrap up today's wake Up Call with ABC's Jim Ryan. We're gonna 468 00:33:57.000 --> 00:34:00.640 talk about the hurricane season, those storms that roll into the US on the 469 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:04.279 East and Gulf coast, but the ripples those go across the country. Good 470 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.359 morning, Jim, They really do, Jason. Even here in land lockdowll 471 00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:12.159 Is, Fort Worth, we occasionally get tropical storm for US winds and heavy 472 00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.880 heavy rain coming from those storms that come ashore way down in Houston or Corpus 473 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:21.239 Christi, or or far far away from Texas, even in Louisiana. So 474 00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:23.679 yeah, it's something that the millions of people have to be concerned about, 475 00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:27.039 have to be watching, even if they don't live right along the coast. 476 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.920 Jason. So, Jim, what are the expectations coming into I think that 477 00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:36.960 if I remember correctly tomorrow we start yesterday, we reported that hurricane season began 478 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:39.280 June June first, right, So what are we expecting. Yes, well, 479 00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:44.840 the expectation from noise that we'll have as many as seventeen total named storms 480 00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:46.880 this year, which is pretty average. It's fairly typical, at least for 481 00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:51.239 the last few years. The number has gone up pretty dramatically in the last 482 00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:53.880 few decades. Used to be that if you heard twelve to seventeen total name 483 00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:58.480 storms, that'd be kind of a freak out factor. Five to nine could 484 00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:02.800 become hurricanes, and as many as one to four could become major hurricanes. 485 00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:07.679 Those are the ones with winds of one hundred eleven miles per hour or more. 486 00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:10.960 And in fact, on this second day of hurricane season twenty twenty three 487 00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:16.000 Atlantic hurricane season, we have had two tropical depressions. One popped up yesterday 488 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:20.760 in the Gulf, the other one popped up there today in the Gulf of 489 00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.159 Mexico. It's not expected that either of these is going to grow into anything 490 00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:29.119 like a hurricane, but that's how these storms start. They start as tropical 491 00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:34.000 depressions out there, or tropical waves or disturbances, and eventually could grow into 492 00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:37.719 hurricanes. So these two are just going to putter out and not do anything. 493 00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.440 But it's a reminder that people need to be aware. I get you. 494 00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:44.199 And then here on the West coast, we're thinking about the marine layer 495 00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:47.239 and you've already got tropical depressions or something close to a tropical depression coming in. 496 00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:52.000 On June the second Jim, the National Hurricane Center apparently has some new 497 00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:55.559 products. Now this surprised me. What are these new products that are supposed 498 00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:59.400 to help people in danger zone? Well, they callum products. I mean 499 00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:05.320 it's Tropical Weather Outlook graphic is something that no Way issues all the time. 500 00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:10.320 It gives you some warning, a five day warning the tropical weather it might 501 00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:15.679 be coming. Well that's been expanded now, it's been refined somewhat, and 502 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:20.440 now that that forecast will go out seven days. So people who live along 503 00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:23.840 the coast or live out there and the Florida Keys, they can watch this 504 00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:28.639 and know in plenty of time, a week's time that they need to heed 505 00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:31.840 the warnings. Or if you live in Los Angeles and you're planning on going 506 00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:35.960 out to Orlando, you know, for a vacation or something, you can 507 00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:38.519 watch that and you know that that way you won't lose a week of your 508 00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:42.400 vacation time if it looks like there's going to be a hurricane there, change 509 00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:45.519 your plans. Very good call right there. And if I remember, Jim, 510 00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:47.280 are you based out of Texas? I know you travel the country in 511 00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:51.639 the world, but you're based in DFW, right, correct. So how 512 00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:53.639 long have you been dealing with these hurricane seasons and how does your family cope 513 00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:58.039 with them? Well, I mean I've been covering them since nineteen eighty nine. 514 00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:00.559 The first one was Hurricane Gilbert down on the Texas coast, and there 515 00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.480 have been thirty since then that I've covered. But yeah, I mean, 516 00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:07.960 it's just a matter of being ready for the torrential rain that can come with 517 00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:12.239 these storms if they turn into tropical depressions and had inland, and very often 518 00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:15.960 they do. Like these storms that come through at New Orleans, We'll do 519 00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:20.559 a lot of damage there, but then they weaken down to tropical depressions. 520 00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:24.000 Then they might park themselves over Tennessee and sit there and rain themselves out for 521 00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:29.599 days or even weeks and cause horrific flooding. Flooding is the major threat from 522 00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:35.840 hurricanes every time. And there is a new a flood inundation map that it's 523 00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:38.559 going to be released this year, and that will show you the greatest flood 524 00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:42.840 risk that's going on. Well, I lived in Houston for sixteen or seven 525 00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:45.679 years and then Corpus Christie and everything like, and so flood map makes a 526 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:50.320 ton of sense in the Bayou City. Sure, you've been covering, as 527 00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:53.360 you said, you've covered thirty storms, seventeen expected this year for name storms. 528 00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:59.199 How does that rank as far as a yearly supply. It's pretty typical. 529 00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:01.239 It's pretty typical at least these days. I mean a couple of decades 530 00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:07.480 ago that would be very high. But the forecast now is fairly average for 531 00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:12.599 the last few years, with twelve to seventeen total name storms and as many 532 00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:16.199 as one before major hurricanes somewhere in between. We could get five to name 533 00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:21.199 five to nine hurricanes. Then that's you know, we've already had a couple 534 00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:27.000 of tropical depressions. On this second day of hurricane season, they're just gonna, 535 00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:30.440 you know, peter out there in the Gulf of Mexico toward Florida. 536 00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:34.360 ABC's Jim Ryan based in DFW, thank you so much for your time and 537 00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:37.519 for sharing some contacts there with your expertise and covering these storms. Jim. 538 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:39.880 Thanks Jay. Absolutely. Let's crank out a couple more stories before we get 539 00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:44.880 to Bill Handle on the news. Let's check on a proposed reduction of corrections 540 00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:49.320 officers at a state mental hospital in Highland, and it's causing concerns for local 541 00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:52.679 law enforcement. Same Bernardino County Sheriff Shannondika says the patent hospital sits next to 542 00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:57.679 a densely populated neighborhood with an elementary school and the Yamava casino, and the 543 00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.880 sheriff says on July third, the state wants to reduce the number officers from 544 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:04.639 seventy one to forty four and replace them with technology. So losing the security 545 00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:07.880 officers on the perimeter is one of the concerns I have just for the overall 546 00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.079 safety the community, Dicas says, people who are unfit for trial or in 547 00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:15.199 the hospital, along with murderers and rapists. Dicas, politicians, and casino 548 00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:19.599 owners have all sent letters to the state. Steve Gregory knafin cal State Fullerton 549 00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:22.400 police say parents are being targeted in a new scam for cash. Three cases 550 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:27.159 of attempted scams have been reported in the last week where people tried to trick 551 00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:30.880 parents into sending cash to bail their kids out of jail. Student Tristan Zelden 552 00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:35.239 says his peers it should stay vigilant around campus. Yeah, there's the people 553 00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:38.280 who would go around campus and promoting different things or wanting you to sign petitions 554 00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:42.400 and stuff like that. I see it clear to that just because I don't 555 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:45.960 know those people don't they could be genuine, they could not be. Campus 556 00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.559 police say the scammers have done their homework and the department is still investigating how 557 00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:53.519 the parents numbers were retrieved. Polices. Police say officers will never call asking 558 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:59.400 for money canines can keep their jobs in California for now. A bill in 559 00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:01.599 the state of that would have banned the use of the police dogs has been 560 00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:07.440 put into the so called inactive file. Assembly Member Corey Jackson says the bill 561 00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:10.840 did not have enough support. Police officers argued against it because they say dogs 562 00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:16.880 help de escalate situations and prevent more serious violence or deaths. Now, more 563 00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:22.280 Americans plan to spend more this summer at topcashback dot Com survey shows fifty six 564 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:25.280 percent of those polled will be dolling out more cash this summer than in twenty 565 00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:29.599 twenty two. Forty eight percent say they'll be spending their money on trips, 566 00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:31.760 Forty six percent will spend it on clothes, happy hours, barbecues, and 567 00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:36.400 other social activities. About a third or planning to do home improvement. Of 568 00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:38.719 those traveling, thirty seven percent say they'll spend a thousand dollars or more. 569 00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:43.079 About a third will travel over the Fourth of July holiday, twenty five percent 570 00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:45.800 over Labor Day. The survey also shows forty one percent plan to start their 571 00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:52.400 holiday shopping in the summer. Fourteen percent already have. Amy King KFI news 572 00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:57.119 Okay Nicola Yokich posted his ninth triple double of the postseason last night, as 573 00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.559 the Nuggets defeated the Heat one oh four to ninety three. That was Game 574 00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:04.920 one of the NBA Finals. The two time MVP Yokich finished with twenty seven 575 00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:07.719 points, ten rebounds, and fourteen assists in his NBA Finals debut, and 576 00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:14.360 Jamal Murray poured in twenty six as well. They led it by many as 577 00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:17.719 twenty four in that win in Game one. I know, I'm just keeping 578 00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:21.280 an eye on it because the Lakers aren't in it, the Warriors aren't in 579 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:23.159 it, and I still want to see if the Nuggets can win their first 580 00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:27.360 NBA Finals channel. I think it's great. I think it's great.
