I stayed up 10 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:45.719 a little later than normal, but I go to bed 11 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.479 stupid early, but a little later to the normal because 12 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:53.880 of the longest speech ever. I'm sort of a junkie 13 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:59.520 about these things. I love watching politicians blo VI eight. 14 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.759 It's just amazing, and it's both sides of the aisle. 15 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.400 They just they talk and do they really say stuff. 16 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.959 And I handles in the other room right now and 17 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.799 I hear him talking about it, and he was like, 18 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.280 he's just making stuff up. I'm like, Trump's like an absolutist. 19 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.920 He just says it's the greatest ever, it's the worst ever. 20 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.040 I mean, he's an absolutist. There's no middle ground with 21 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.599 this guy. But you know he does know how to entertain. 22 00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:28.799 I mean I was sitting there watching it, going, Yep, 23 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:30.120 he's he's a showman. 24 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:31.159 He puts on a show. 25 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.200 He announced that a kid whose late father was an 26 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.760 la keunty sheriff's deputy was just accepted to West Point. 27 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.239 During the speech, there were a lot of little moments 28 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:42.640 like that. Yeah, he made it. 29 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.879 That adorable young man, the thirteen year old who's survived 30 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.319 brain cancer is now officially a Secret Service agent. I mean, 31 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.239 and had the Secret Service director come and give him 32 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.959 his badge. Or in the rowdy congressman, we had that too, 33 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.480 Al Green got kicked out. Yeah, and you know what, 34 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:03.760 one of my first takeaways at the very beginning of 35 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.000 it was, for. 36 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:06.079 Goodness sake, JD. 37 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.840 Vance, button your suit coat. He's standing up there waiting 38 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.120 for the president to come in and he just looks 39 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:14.120 a little bit sloppy. 40 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.520 Shovel to JD. Come on. Of course. 41 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.120 The other big news still watching the new Eagles. We 42 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.159 have chick number one and chick number two. They don't 43 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.639 have names yet. There's gonna be a naming contest. Shannon 44 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:26.520 Farren asked me about that yesterday. She's like, how do 45 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:27.120 they name them? 46 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.080 Well, they have a contest, but it's too early. 47 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:31.680 Football one and Fuzzball too. 48 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.759 Fuzzball one, Fuzzball too. They're adorable. You can watch them. 49 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.759 KFI AM six forty dot com slash big Bear. I 50 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:40.159 know we're all obsessed with it. 51 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.000 Love it. Here's what's ahead on wake up Call. 52 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.639 Of course, President Trump has wowed half the crowd, the 53 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.680 Republican side of the crowd in his first address to 54 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.840 a joint session of Congress. During his current turn, he 55 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.919 said he has launched the most sweeping border crackdown in 56 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.919 American history, and the number of border crossings is at 57 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.960 its lowest level ever. We're gonna dig deeper into that 58 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.039 with kfi's White House correspondent John Decker. That's coming up 59 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.879 in just a couple of minutes. The La City Council's 60 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:11.039 rejected former fire chief Kristin Crowley's appeal of her firing 61 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.039 by Mayor Karen Bass before the thirteen to two vote yesterday. 62 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.039 Crowley refuted Bass's claims that she sent a thousand firefighters 63 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.400 home right before the fires broke out. She said that 64 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.039 one hundred fire engines, trucks and ambulance sat broken down 65 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.919 because of limited funding, staffing, and resources. Ukraine's President Zelenski 66 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.439 says his very public spat with President Trump at the 67 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.840 White House was regrettable. In a post on X, he 68 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.599 said he's ready to work under Trump's strong leadership to 69 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.520 get a lasting piece and said none of us wants 70 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.319 an endless war. We're going to be talking to ABC's 71 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.919 Patrick reevil Moore about that before the top of the hour. 72 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.599 We're also talking with rich de Muro. There's a new iPad, 73 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:55.199 a new EV made by Sony and Honda. Interesting matchup. 74 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.039 And there's also a new way to keep your private 75 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.360 information from being splashed all over the Internet. And now 76 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.319 that the Academy Award's over, I can go back to 77 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.319 binge watching TV shows. If you haven't watched this one yet, 78 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.240 you are missing out. I'm going to tell you about 79 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:11.759 it at the bottom of the hour. You know, it's 80 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.719 just like another day in paradise. Let's get started with 81 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.279 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 82 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.720 four our newsroom. President Trump has praised the new administration. 83 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.560 During his speech to a joint session of Congress, he 84 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:26.279 called the last six weeks successful. In his address last night, 85 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.720 trum Trump singled out changes made to the federal workforce 86 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.639 and changes in the US military. 87 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.519 Our country will be worked no longer. 88 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.839 The President's speech got off to a rough start when 89 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.639 Democrats grumbled at his comments and held up signs in disagreement. 90 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:48.079 Texas Congressman Al Green was removed from the chamber for 91 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:52.120 waving his cane and shouting at Trump. And evacuation warning 92 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.399 has been issued for people in Sierra Madre as this 93 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.959 storm moves in. This woman says she doesn't want to 94 00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.160 repeat of what happened during the last storm. 95 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.199 Everything that came down from the mountain Twig's branches from 96 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.959 the fire had clogged the canal and has started to overflow. 97 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.839 The warning starts this morning and will be in effect 98 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.279 through Friday morning. The impacted areas border the Angelus National Forest, 99 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.240 and the La County Board of Supervisors is backing an 100 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.480 Assembly bill that calls for a pause in mortgage payments 101 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.480 for people affected by the wildfires who were having financial troubles. 102 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.360 Assembly Bill two thirty eight, introduced by Pasadena Democratic Assemblyman 103 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:34.199 John Arabadian, would allow borrowers affected by the fires in 104 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.560 January to ask for a deferral of monthly mortgage payments 105 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.040 fro up to three hundred and sixty days. During that time, 106 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.160 borrowers would not be assessed late fees, penalties, or additional interest, 107 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.360 and foreclosure proceedings would be prohibited. Let's say good morning 108 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.680 now to kfi's White House correspondent John Decker, who was 109 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:55.839 in the room last night. As I mentioned, President Trump 110 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.439 wowed half the crowd in the chamber. 111 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.160 Morning, John, Yeah, it was half the crowd. Good morning 112 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.759 to you. Amy. That's typical. That's not atypical. That's typical 113 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.720 in this divided time that we are in right now, 114 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:15.439 and you have Democrats sitting on their hands, Republicans applauding 115 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.759 wildly for a Republican president, and just the opposite when 116 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.000 it's a Democratic president who's in the White House. So 117 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:26.040 not a surprise there. I'm always surprised when they're disruptions 118 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.199 during this speech, and we saw that last night. Representative 119 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.399 Al Green, he's a Democratic congressman who represents a district 120 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.399 in Houston, Texas. He was ultimately escorted out of the 121 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.439 chamber for disrupting President Trump's speech last night. And then 122 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.439 on substance, we heard the President double down on the 123 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.839 policy that he's going forward with, and that's the trade 124 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.120 tariff's policy and acknowledge that there could be some short 125 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.600 term pain that Americans feel as a result of this 126 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:53.879 trade tariff's policy. 127 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.759 Okay, John, I want to go back to the sort 128 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.199 of the division thing, because you know, I watched these 129 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.040 things and I just think you all just need to 130 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.240 grow up. I mean, and I get it, it happens. 131 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.920 You're absolutely right. When it's a Democrat standing at the podium, 132 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.040 the Republicans are very quiet, and when there's a Republican 133 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.759 at the podium, the Democrats are very quiet. Although as 134 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.360 you mentioned, there was a lot of especially early on, 135 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:21.720 there was a lot of jeering and shouting that we 136 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:25.199 could hear, and then it just was the signs being 137 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.560 held up, which was like, I was like, it was 138 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.800 so childish. 139 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.040 Well, it is childish. And also it's important to remember 140 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.519 you don't have to be there. If you don't like 141 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.360 the president, you don't like his policies, you can skip 142 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.920 the speech. And some Democrats did just that. They said, 143 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.519 I'm not showing up to this address to a joint 144 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.800 session of Congress, but if you're going to go, you know, 145 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.800 I think it's important I do to be respectful. And 146 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.079 that goes for when Joe Biden was in office and 147 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.759 Marjorie Taylor Green shouted out things at him. I thought 148 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.319 that was disrespectful. I thought what you saw last night 149 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.959 also was disrespectful to President Trump. 150 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.920 Yeah, and didn't it start like we used to be 151 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.160 so well behaved, But I think it started. It was 152 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.279 the first time I remember that happening. Was during a 153 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:18.560 speech that President Obama gave and somebody yelled out, liar. 154 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.480 That was the first time I remember that winning. 155 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:22.759 Yeah. 156 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.560 I was a Republican congressman from South Carolina named Joe Wilson. 157 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.600 He's still in Congress, and when the President was talking 158 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:34.679 specifically about the Affordable Care Act and referencing it, Joe 159 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:38.200 Wilson yelled out, you lie, which was shocking. I'd never 160 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.000 seen that. And I've been in the chamber more times 161 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.440 than Trump Vance and Speaker Johnson combined, and I had 162 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.480 never seen anything like that before. 163 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.159 Yeah. I wish that, Like I said, I wish they 164 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:50.879 would just grow up. So you were in the. 165 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.960 Room and got to be I would love to like 166 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.799 what's the vibe of it? I mean, like we talked about, 167 00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.559 half of the room is in raucous applause. The other 168 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.600 half is mad, what's it like in the room. 169 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.679 Well, I think that for members there's an electricity associated 170 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.639 with this speech. Members who've been there for many times 171 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.200 and freshman members of the House and the Senate as well, 172 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:17.159 just to be there to hear, you know, that announcement 173 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.080 as mister Speaker, the President of the United States, and 174 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:23.159 see the President go down that center aisle. You have 175 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.639 members that are very excited about that, wanting to have 176 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.080 a few words with the President, take a selfie something, 177 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:34.799 grab his hand for a handshake. That has always been 178 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.279 the case Democrat or a Republican, and that was the 179 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.440 case last night. This was the first time President Trump 180 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.879 was delivering this type of speech in five years since 181 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.960 his first term in the White House. And you know, 182 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:50.279 I think that as it relates to how he said 183 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.000 it and what he said really ticked off a lot 184 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.240 of the things that you would hear at a Trump 185 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.639 campaign rally in terms of the policies that he is 186 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.519 pursuing and will be for suing now that he's back 187 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:02.279 in the White House. 188 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.799 Yeah, I just like I said earlier, I'm just a 189 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.399 junkie for these kinds of things. And I know that 190 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:13.240 they always they single out and recognize certain people. But 191 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.480 I think Trump had a different flare about it because 192 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.279 he is such a showman, like for example, with the kid, 193 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:25.320 adorable young man who has brain cancer and he is 194 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.360 now a Secret Service agent. And I thought that that 195 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.120 was sweet, you know. I mean, it was more than 196 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.639 just acknowledging somebody. It was kind of taking it to 197 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.240 the next level. And I think he did a good 198 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:35.759 job with that. 199 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.919 I do too. I do think those are nice moments. 200 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.879 In some cases, they're memorable moments. I can think over 201 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:48.120 the years when a president calls reference to someone who's 202 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:51.720 done something special or someone deserving. 203 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:52.159 Of a tribute. 204 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.480 And to me, here's the thing that always troubles me. 205 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:59.159 Amy I look over when the president's referencing some of 206 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:03.559 those people that are great Americans in the first Lady's box, 207 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:05.399 and you have to say they're great Americans. You know, 208 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.320 whether you're a Republican and Democrat, independent, And I look 209 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:12.120 over to the Democratic side of the House of Representatives 210 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:15.080 and I see members not applauding a little boy who 211 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.639 recovered from cancer. I mean, I don't get that. You know, 212 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.480 It's just it's not a partisan thing. You can certainly 213 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:25.679 applaud and it's not showing that you're supportive of President Trump. 214 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.039 You're supportive of that little boy and the fight that 215 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.799 he's been undergoing for so many years. So that's a 216 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:32.720 head scratcher to me. 217 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:33.080 Amy. 218 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.919 Yeah, and John Decker, You're gonna be talking with Bill 219 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:37.600 Handle a little bit later, so I know you're going 220 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.080 to dive even deeper into this during the Handle show. 221 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.080 So thanks for sharing your experience. 222 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:47.279 Like I said, I'm always fascinated by the way that 223 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.679 politics plays out in front of our eyes and appreciate 224 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:51.360 your insights. 225 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:55.159 Thanks again, Thanks again, Amy, have a great day. Talk 226 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:55.720 to you real soon. 227 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:57.559 All right, let's get back to some of the stories 228 00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.759 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Former 229 00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:02.960 la fire chief Kristin Crowley has lost her appeal to 230 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:03.759 be reinstated. 231 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.120 The city council voted down Crowley's appeal by a vote 232 00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.720 of thirteen to two, but the ousted chief did get 233 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.480 the chance to speak her peace. She says Mayor Bass, 234 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:14.360 who fired her last month, has spread misinformation about the 235 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.279 circumstances surrounding her removal. 236 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.360 I did not refuse to conduct an after action report, 237 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.279 and let me be clear, this is a false accusation. 238 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.480 Crowley says her department has been underfunded and understaffed, and 239 00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.120 that it would have been better for the city to 240 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.120 partner with the state. In its after action report in 241 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.240 downtown La Michael Monks KFI News. 242 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.360 Target's CEO is warned that price increases could be coming 243 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.399 in the next few days because of President Trump's tariffs 244 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.440 son goods from Mexico. Brian Cornell told CNBC that Target 245 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:49.000 relies heavily on Mexican produce during the winter. He said 246 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.240 the twenty five percent tariffs may force Target to increase 247 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.559 prices on things like avocados, bananas, and strawberries. 248 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.840 I'm having a banana this morning. I didn't know we 249 00:12:58.879 --> 00:12:59.960 got bananas from Mexico. 250 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:04.240 A divide yep, Nope, I didn't know that A divided 251 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.000 Supreme Court has ruled in favor of San Francisco in 252 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.320 a case involving the EPA's attempts to limit untreated sewage overflows. 253 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.159 ABC Stephen Portnoy says the five to four decision curbs 254 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.840 the EPA's efforts to control water pollution when heavy rains 255 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:21.039 cause sewage systems to spill over. 256 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.519 The city of San Francisco, which empties its discharge into 257 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.840 the Pacific Ocean, argued the EPA exceeded its authority under 258 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.200 the Clean Water Act. Conservative Justice Samuel Alito wrote the 259 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.399 majority opinion ruling in the city's favor. 260 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.840 Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the descent in which the 261 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:42.320 court's three liberals joined. Israel has rejected the adoption of 262 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.080 an Egyptian plan for the future of the Gaza Strip 263 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.279 during an emergency summit. The plan is an alternative to 264 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:53.000 the Trump administration's proposal for the mass displacement of Palestinians. 265 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.720 Israel says the Arab leader's reconstruction plan for Gaza is 266 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:02.200 entrenched in perspectives that are no longer relevant. Post October seventh, 267 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.840 health officials in Texas have opened vaccination clinics to help 268 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.399 stop a measle's outbreak from spreading further. As if yesterday, 269 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:12.360 one hundred and fifty nine people were positive for the 270 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:16.440 highly contagious illness. Twenty two were in the hospital. Last week, 271 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.840 an unvaccinated child died from the flu. Houston Health Commissioner 272 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.759 doctor David Purse says the suffering is not necessary since 273 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.679 a vaccine has been available for decades. 274 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.399 Up to twenty percent of people are ill are going 275 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.360 to get sick enough that they require hospitalization. 276 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:32.559 Well, the other eighty percent are going to still be 277 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:36.279 really sick. High fever, body aches, feeling miserable in bed. 278 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.639 Measles has an incubation period of twelve days to three weeks, 279 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.039 meaning someone can have it long before symptoms show and 280 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.039 they can infect others without knowing it. The La City 281 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.799 Councils voted thirteen to two to not reinstate fired fire 282 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.960 Chief Kristin Crowley to her position. The former chief says 283 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.559 she will remain with the department in a different role. 284 00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.679 Wall Street has taken up pounding as tariffs against Mexico, Canada, 285 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:03.759 and and China take effect. All three countries announced tariffs 286 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:06.559 would be imposed on the US in response. At the 287 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:09.120 closing bell, the Dow was down six hundred and seventy 288 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:11.200 points yesterday. We're going to be finding out what we're 289 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.799 expecting for today when we get in your business with 290 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:15.279 Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho. 291 00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.000 That's coming up at five point forty. 292 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.600 Lebron James has become the first player in NBA history 293 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.559 to score fifty thousand combined points in the regular season 294 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:27.360 and postseason. He hit the milestone with a three pointer 295 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.919 in the opening minutes of last night's win against the 296 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:34.720 New Orleans Pelicans. This is James's twenty second season with 297 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:37.960 the NBA. Let's say good morning now to the host 298 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:40.960 of rich On Tech KTLAS tech reporter Rich Jimmuro. 299 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.960 Good morning, Rich, Hey, good morning to you. Amy. 300 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.440 Okay, so we got some new things that we want 301 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.399 to share. First of all, I'm I'm actually kind of 302 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.000 jazzed about this one. New iPads from Apple, and I'm 303 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.159 jazzed about it because you said there's more memory in it. 304 00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:59.159 Yeah, So a couple of new iPads. 305 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.639 We've got two, so the iPad AIR and then of 306 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:05.440 course the iPad I call it the standard one. So 307 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.559 with the iPad AIR, the main thing is that's the 308 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.679 expensive one. It's not the pro. But they're getting a 309 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:14.080 better chip, which means it has support for Apple Intelligence. Now, 310 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:16.200 this one starts at six hundred dollars for the eleven 311 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:20.159 inch model. Thirteen inch model is eight hundred twelve. 312 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:20.919 Yeah. 313 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:22.799 No, this is for like, you know, people who want 314 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.320 like a really high end iPad. I'll be honest, most 315 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.279 of the people that are asking me about an iPad 316 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:29.919 they want the other one, which is the eleventh generation, 317 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.080 and this one has a pretty standard chip inside, so 318 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.679 it's not going to support the Apple Intelligence. But it 319 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.960 starts at three hundred and fifty dollars. And the cool 320 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.440 thing about this one is that it now has double 321 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:43.399 the storage at the same price. So if you bought 322 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:45.799 this a couple of days ago, you'd pay three fifty 323 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.720 for sixty four gigs. Now you pay three fifty for 324 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:50.960 one hundred and twenty eight and you're getting a better processor. 325 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.840 I'm amazed that the iPads that I've had had things 326 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.559 like sixteen gigs and that kind of stuff. They just 327 00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.799 didn't have a lot of memory, when the phones have 328 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.759 you know, a half a terabyte. 329 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:05.680 Yeah, and here's the deal with the iPad. Nobody is 330 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.599 actively like I mean, yes, people want an iPad, they 331 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.119 go get one. But most of the time with the iPads, 332 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.319 people aren't tracking the new models. They just go into 333 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.000 the store when they need a new one. And by 334 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.519 the way, these things last forever, so it's not like 335 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:20.559 you're buying these things every couple of years. This might 336 00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:22.359 be a six year cycle on these things. 337 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.920 Okay, all right, so here's something else that's new. Sony 338 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:28.000 and Honda have teamed up. 339 00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:31.279 Yeah, this is the Have you heard of this car, 340 00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:33.839 the afila Ev. I have never new? 341 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.759 Okay, well it's their new joint venture. I mean Sony Entertainment, right, 342 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.240 Honda definitely knows cars. So they have teamed up for 343 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:46.599 this new afila Ev and it's on display at Westfield 344 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:48.559 Century City, so they've got a little pop up shop 345 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.000 there for the next six months. I headed over there 346 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:52.720 to check it out. Now, I've seen this car kind 347 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:54.960 of percolating at all the different tech events for the past, 348 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:55.960 you know, a couple of years. 349 00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:57.559 But this is not a concept. 350 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:01.359 This is actually going to be hitting California roads by 351 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.680 twenty twenty six. So they're going to deliver these cars. 352 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:08.519 And it's an it's expensive, it's ninety thousand dollars, but 353 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:11.839 you know, it's very entertainment focused. 354 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:12.200 Amy. 355 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:16.319 It's got this giant screen inside, three screens inside, one 356 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:19.160 huge screen across the whole dashboard, two screens in the 357 00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.200 back for the passengers, and every app you can imagine, 358 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:23.400 so everything from like. 359 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.200 Spotify to Audible to movie apps. 360 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.640 I mean, your passengers can watch the same movie while 361 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.359 you're driving, and they can play PlayStation. So your PlayStation 362 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:34.799 at home works with this car. 363 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.039 I'm always nervous about big screens in front of a 364 00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:39.880 driver's face. 365 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.599 Good call, and I would one hundred percent understand that. 366 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.680 But as you and I know, if you look around LA, 367 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.480 every single driver is has their phone in front of 368 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.160 them at every minute of the way, which, by the way, 369 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:53.119 don't do that please. 370 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:54.960 But this is safe. 371 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:57.880 Yeah, this is safe because it's got polarizing glass. So 372 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:01.240 it's got this neat feature on theshboard where when the 373 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.240 car is in motion, all of a sudden, the screen polarizes, 374 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.200 which means if you've ever looked at one of those 375 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:09.440 privacy screens on an iPhone, from the angle, you can't 376 00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:09.880 see it. 377 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.559 Oh that's cool. That's cool. And I'm looking at a 378 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.039 picture of it right now. I think a lot of 379 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.200 eds are not that cool looking. This one is pretty 380 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:17.720 cool looking. 381 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.599 I mean, look, this is two really nice companies that 382 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.160 know their stuff and they came up with a really 383 00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.920 good looking car. I think it's expensive, so it's not 384 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:29.880 gonna appeal to everyone, but three hundred miles on the 385 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.880 charge deliveries next year in California, two hundred dollars refundable deposit. 386 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.960 I mean, I really think this is a very nice 387 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.039 looking car, and it's got a lot of fun features 388 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.640 for the techi like myself. And it's got a lot 389 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.400 of sensors, so talk about self driving down the line. 390 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.720 This has got forty sensors in it, so it's gonna 391 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.119 be able to do a lot on its own. Let's 392 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:50.640 put it that way. 393 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.279 Yeah, and the steering wheel looks like a what do 394 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:54.440 you call it in an airplane? 395 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:56.319 An airplane throttle? You don't call it a sta. 396 00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:58.680 Like a yoke or whatever. Yeah, it's like the half 397 00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:00.000 steering wheel. It's like cut in half. 398 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:00.960 Yeah. Okay. 399 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:01.599 Here. 400 00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:03.200 So I didn't get to drive it because no one's 401 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:05.720
