Yes. 19 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.920 President Trump says he will place a two hundred percent 20 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.719 tariff on European wine and champagne two hundred percent. 21 00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.399 A lot of people are to be pissed off about this. 22 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.320 In a post on truth Social Trump said it would 23 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.599 be in response to a fifty percent tariff on whiskey. 24 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.640 Implemented by the EU. President said the union was created 25 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.439 for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the US. 26 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.319 We had heard about the Kentucky whiskey and the whiskey 27 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:21.200 and the bourbon makers being hurt by the Canadian situation 28 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.239 and elsewhere, but not, I mean, and. 29 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:26.840 You're dealing with different people here. 30 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.040 You're going to piss off the wine people to make 31 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:30.239 the whiskey people happy. 32 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:32.079 That's a dangerous. 33 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.280 Game, Beautiful, who do you want to piss off more? 34 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.560 Who you want to piss off more? The whiskey drinkers 35 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:41.359 or the wine drinkers. I've seen angry wine drinkers. And 36 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.239 that is a dangerous road to. 37 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:47.000 Ho This volatility that we've seen, as you mentioned, has 38 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.079 driven Wall Street numbers into the red. The Dow is 39 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.959 down another five hundred and thirty points right now. S 40 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.680 and P five hundred is down seventy. The Nasdaq is 41 00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.799 down more than three hundred points. And this again, it's 42 00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:04.120 not because wine and champagne or whiskey, or even steel 43 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.920 and aluminum are the things that are driving this. 44 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.360 It's the uncertainty. It's the volatility. 45 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.000 And Trump had said obviously, he said in the day 46 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.639 one prices we're going to go down. That didn't happen, 47 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.879 And then he said in an interview back on Sunday, 48 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.960 I believe it was that there will be some short 49 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.479 term things we have to go through before those prices 50 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.800 come down. It's that volatility that's driving all of this uncertainty, 51 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.800 that uncertainty the way that is coming out. 52 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:36.319 Yeah, but it's the terrorists that are driving the volatility, right, 53 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.199 It's ridiculous numbers like two hundred percent. 54 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.240 Well, and it's it's the well, what's going to happen tomorrow. 55 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.360 We don't know what's going to happen six months from now. 56 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.560 We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. Scott Bessen 57 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.759 is the new Treasury Secretary. He said, yeah, it is 58 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.080 a little crazy right now, but he's not worried about 59 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:52.919 the volatility. 60 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.479 What we're focused on is the We're focused on the 61 00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.319 real economy. Can we create an environment where there are 62 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.319 long term games in the market and long term games 63 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:07.680 for the American people. I'm not concerned about a little 64 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.080 bit of volatility over three weeks. 65 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.680 Right over three weeks, but like to your point, we 66 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.080 don't know if this is going to be three. 67 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.240 Weeks or three years. 68 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.960 Right now, France is the top wine exporter to the 69 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:22.560 US of about two and a half billion dollars worth. 70 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.960 Italy comes in a very close second at two point 71 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.840 three billion, and for both of those, wine is among 72 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:33.159 the top goods that they send here to the United States. 73 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:38.240 The French Trade Minister, Laurent Saint Martine said that Trump 74 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.800 is escalating the trade war he has chosen to start, 75 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.759 and that his country would fight back. Olof Gil is 76 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.280 a spokesperson for the EU Commission and said the US 77 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.560 needs to immediately revoke the steel and aluminum tariffs that 78 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.479 were imposed yesterday. He says they bring nothing but lose 79 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.039 lose outcomes, and we want to focus on win win outcomes. 80 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.000 This is his plan. This is exactly. 81 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:05.360 This, This tariff war, trade war thing is going exactly 82 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.840 the way Trump wanted it to because he has said 83 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.039 over and over again that we're the ones getting screwed. 84 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:12.599 Now. 85 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.399 Nobody likes the temporary We hope it's temporary pain that 86 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.920 will be inflicted. But remember there have been a lot 87 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.639 of these threats of tariffs that have then been pulled 88 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.040 off the table because whoever the other country is has 89 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.480 come forward and said okay, let's work this out. We 90 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.759 got to figure this out, and that's how he negotiates 91 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.959 with a giant freaking hammer. 92 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.959 Russian President Vladimir Putin says he agrees with that ceasefire 93 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.199 plan they came up with in Saudi Arabia. When it 94 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.720 came to the US diplomats and their Ukrainian counterparts. 95 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.240 Of it, he said, they agree with it in principle. 96 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.600 It was during a press briefing today that Putin said 97 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.279 the proposal needs to lead to an enduring peace and 98 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.720 should remove the root causes of this crisis. That's all 99 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.879 grade a Bologney. 100 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:00.560 All right? 101 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.199 Was that Putin? No I was going to say, he 102 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.160 sounds different. 103 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.920 US officials did travel to Moscow today to discuss a 104 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:15.560 possible ceasefire with Russian officials. This after Ukraine said earlier 105 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.160 that it would agree to the US backed thirty day 106 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.560 ceasefire if Russia did as well. So it looks like 107 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.639 Putin's saying, no, I want to talk to my American counterparts. E. 108 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:26.160 I want some things here. 109 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.720 I want to get the good end of this deal, 110 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.000 and right now it's not there. 111 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.639 Senate is now the body that has to determine whether 112 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.879 or not there's going to be a government shutdown starting 113 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:42.319 tomorrow night. Senate Democrats led by Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer 114 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.879 made a speech on the floor of the Senate yesterday 115 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.480 and said there will be no deal and he doesn't 116 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.480 think any Democrats will support the plan that was put 117 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.959 forward by the Republican controlled House, although when you look 118 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.199 at it, there's a lot of the original Biden Harris 119 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.360 spending plan for this year that exists in this six 120 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:07.240 month continuing resolution. Majority Leader John Thune said, this is 121 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.759 Chuck Schumer's it's his deal now, and he's the one 122 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.199 who's going to blow this if they can't pass it. 123 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.720 Thanks to the Democrat leader's decision to abandon the fiscal 124 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.480 year twenty twenty five appropriations process, the continuing resolution we 125 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.160 have before us is the best option we have to 126 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.839 fund the government for the balance of this year. And so, 127 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:31.040 mister President's time for the Democrat leader to acknowledge that 128 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.079 it's his decisions that put us here and urge his 129 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.480 colleagues to accept the situation and vote to fund the 130 00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.560 government rather than to let it shut down. 131 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:41.959 At midnight on Friday. 132 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:47.680 Fallout from the federal agency layoffs continue a federal judge 133 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.079 today ordered President Trump's administration to reinstate thousands, maybe tens 134 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.319 of thousands of probationary workers who are let go in 135 00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:01.639 the firings across multiple agencies last month. The judge directed 136 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.360 the agencies to report back within seven days with a 137 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:09.879 list of probationary employees and an explanation of how the 138 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.839 department compiled with his order or complied excuse me with 139 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.319 his order to each person and compiled their lists. I 140 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:23.639 should say so this affects the VA, Agriculture, Interior, and 141 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.920 number of government agencies. There are an estimated two hundred 142 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:34.040 thousand probationary workers across federal agencies. So not just entry 143 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.680 level workers, but people who have been promoted.

They say these allegations are not true, they're atlandish. 172 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.679 In fact, Kimberly was blown away when she heard these allegations. 173 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:34.000 The discovery of a thirty two year old man happened 174 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.240 in the middle of February when Waterbury, Connecticut police officers, 175 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.399 along with personnel from the fire department, responded to report 176 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.240 of an active fire at a home at about a 177 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.879 quarter to nine that night. The fire was quickly put 178 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.960 out by a couple of authorities and two occupants found 179 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.879 inside at the home. The first person identified was Kimberly Sullivan, 180 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.679 owner of the property. She's fifty six. The second person 181 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.159 a thirty two year old man later determined to be 182 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:03.960 Sullivan's step son, now the police chief, Fernando Spagnola. 183 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.440 Fire investigators quickly realized that there was a room in 184 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.960 the house that appeared to have locks on it from 185 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.080 the exterior portion of the house. They began to speak 186 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.200 to the male victim, who disclosed that he was being 187 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.440 held captive in the house for an extended period of time, 188 00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.639 approximately twenty years. It was worse than the conditions of 189 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.559 a jail cell. So there's a lot of physical therapy 190 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.759 that'll have to go through, there's a lot of healing 191 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.919 that'll have to go through. Mentally, it appears that it 192 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:40.120 was a very controlling situation going on regarding the victim's 193 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:45.759 conditions whereabouts, his connection with other family members other people 194 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.200 in the community, other friends. 195 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.519 He had said to the ambulance crew, I set the 196 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.840 fire upstairs because I wanted my freedom. 197 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.480 He was eleven years old when this captivity began. 198 00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.879 They said that there was starvation, severe neglect, inhumane treatment. 199 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:03.919 The thirty two year old was found to have been 200 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.799 in a severely emaciated condition and hadn't received medical or 201 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:10.679 dental care over the time of his captivity. 202 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.519 You know, we mentioned this when the turbine story broke, 203 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:14.320 you brought it up. 204 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.399 I believe a couple of weeks ago. 205 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.519 Of how many homes are there like this when it 206 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.559 comes to not knowing your neighbors, Like, how many homes 207 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.840 where there's like a horrific thing going on nobody even 208 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.360 knows about like this. 209 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.759 For more than twenty years, she kept this. 210 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:37.000 Kid and now man captive, beating him water from the toilet. 211 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.840 My goodness, I mean, how many homes are like this? 212 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:44.919 That's awful and at the hands of a woman. It's 213 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:46.000 just always so shocking. 214 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.440 There's always more, that's the thing. Yeah, there's always, as 215 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:50.679 the rule, there's always more. 216 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.279 Have you heard about this show on Netflix? It's gotten 217 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.399 a lot of us. It's called adolescence no, okay. Here 218 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:00.960 is the premise. It's a couple and they have a 219 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.799 teenage son and he's accused of murdering a classmate and 220 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:07.879 all the things that go along with that is being 221 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.399 a parent, right, it's your worst one of your worst 222 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:13.519 nightmares of that your kid gets into some real trouble, 223 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.080 you know, and where did we go wrong? And we 224 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.399 thought we had a good kid, all the things. Each episode, 225 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.960 it's a four part Netflix drama. Each episode was filmed 226 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.120 in a single continuous shot. Now you remember when we 227 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:27.919 watch I believe it was the finale of the Bear 228 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:31.919 one season that was one continuous shot and the intensity 229 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.879 that that brings alone, and then you add on all 230 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.120 the intensity that comes on with this, and they say, 231 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:39.679 it's freaking insane. 232 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:42.440 Each four part. 233 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.200 Each part of this four part drama filmed in a 234 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:49.039 single continuous shot. It launched today. It's a young boy 235 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:53.360 accused of stabbing a classmate. It's a new actor, Owen Cooper, 236 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.720 who plays a teenager. They said while filming, the camera 237 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:00.960 was handed between operators like a relay race and carried 238 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.480 by the fast moving crew as they followed the actors 239 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.480 in and out of buildings. 240 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:10.240 Wow, yeah, how do you rehearse that I have no 241 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.519 way do the whole scene. 242 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.399 You have to do the whole thing. Yeah. 243 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:17.879 One of the actors says, it's like a Zen like 244 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.840 style of acting that you get the same spontaneity and 245 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.240 energy that you get from a live performance. 246 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.600 So maybe there are no hurt. Maybe it's just go 247 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.639 do it well now you But I mean that's. 248 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:32.840 I don't know. 249 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.639 I have no idea. You're in the industry. I am not. 250 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.080 But that would be pretty intense a I don't know 251 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.799 if that would find man. That almost be too it 252 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:49.480 would be almost uh too much of the anxiety watching that. 253 00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:53.200 I think we'll find out. All the reviews say it 254 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:54.440 is a must sy show. 255 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.159 We have new locks that will open with just the 256 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.399 wave of your hand, and that old cute little rumba 257 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:03.639 that's stuck under the coffee table and has been there 258 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.000 for nine months. The maker of rumba is suggesting they 259 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.559 may not have a future. 260 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:16.480 What I love the rumba. I call mine Helen because 261 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.320 she runs into things. 262 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:23.080 I don't think that's true. You don't, it's a true story. 263 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.879 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 264 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:30.120 AM six forty A Wave. 265 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.840 That unlocks a video and the future of Rumba In doubt, 266 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:35.279 we turned to Mark Saltzman. 267 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:38.200 The machines are getting smarter. 268 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:43.799 This is tech Talk, brought to you by Skynet. 269 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:49.440 Pretty crazy, Mark, but anchor the maker of just about 270 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.519 everything technology. I think I have a bunch of their 271 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.600 their rechargeable batteries and yeah, they're power banks. 272 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:55.960 Power banks. 273 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:56.559 Yeah. 274 00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.519 They've announced through their u fie. Is that you say it? 275 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.879 That's how you say it. It's euf y, That's how 276 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:04.600 it's pronounced. Here. 277 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.039 They have a bunch of smart home products and they 278 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:10.080 have a lock that uses your palm. 279 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:11.519 I don't know if I like this. 280 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:14.639 It's meant to be more secure. They sent it to 281 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.360 me to play around with. It's pretty wild. So it's 282 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:21.759 called the UFI Familock S three Max and it's a 283 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.960 video door lock, so it's also a video door bell camera. 284 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:26.840 But we'll get to that in a second. 285 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.360 But yeah, the unique feature is that it uses palm 286 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:35.000 vein scanning technology. So it's an infrared light IR light 287 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.840 that illuminates the palm when you wave it over the sensor. 288 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:42.279 It looks at the blood flow in your palm and 289 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:46.440 in the veins. And it is a unique identifier. It's 290 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.799 what we call biometrics technology. It's not unlike using your 291 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.960 face to unlock your iPhone or a fingerprint or something. 292 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.360 It is another way to securely identify you. 293 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.559 The company claims it's ninety nine point nine nine nine 294 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.879 nine nine percent accurate and you can program up to 295 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.000 fifty palm prints. So your family, your friends, whoever you 296 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.240 want access to your home. So the idea is that 297 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.159 you don't need a mechanical key. It uses either keypad. 298 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.840 But even more convenient is holding up your hand. 299 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:17.759 It's this is going to sound macab. 300 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:20.679 Can I know what you're going to say? 301 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:25.200 Cut somebody's hand off, and don't you kill them? So 302 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:29.000 if someone killed you to get into your home, yeah, 303 00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:31.320 I think it's looking for blood in the veins. 304 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:32.279 And if I don't. 305 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.279 Know how, I don't know how fast how fast you 306 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.039 need to hold the hand up after it's severed for it. 307 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:40.759 It's a really it's a macob question. 308 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:46.120 Yes, had a low red cell blood count. 309 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:48.840 My thinking is if somebody wants to get in your house, 310 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.600 they're going to get in your house. I feel like 311 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:56.600 one way or another, so it does work. It's pretty wild. Yeah, 312 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.519 I was a latchkey kid when I was younger. I 313 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.399 had like a mechanical key on a shoe string around 314 00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:02.279 my neck, Like. 315 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:03.000 That's old school. 316 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.960 So this also works with Alexa or Google. You can 317 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.519 use your voice to lock or unlock the door when 318 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.119 you're inside. And it does have an integrated two K camera, 319 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.400 so that's to see deliveries for example. And on the 320 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.440 inside of the door is the screen as well. There's 321 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.400 an app, but there's a screen that will show you 322 00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:23.279 who's at your door. Yeah, so it's going to be 323 00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:26.440 coming in April. It's going to be three ninety nine, 324 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.359 and there's a seventy dollars off code at the website 325 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:31.839 at ufi dot com. 326 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:33.799 So yeah, kind of neat. I've been kicking the tires 327 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:34.000 on that. 328 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:36.920 Everybody. I know a lot of people who have room bus. 329 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:39.279 I don't know everybody who uses them on a regular 330 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.039 basis because there is some upkeep involved. 331 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.920 Quick question, if you're murdered, does your room bus still work? 332 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:47.400 Oh? 333 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:50.039 If you're Helen is still going to do her job. 334 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.480 She puts the she puts hell in hell. You can't 335 00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:57.880 spell hella without hell, yes, So yeah, the roombus and 336 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:02.160 other floor vacuuming robots are ill popular, but the company 337 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:05.759 I Robot may not be around. It's funny they ironically 338 00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:08.359 announced a half a dozen new models this week, but 339 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:12.519 they in the same breath told investors yesterday that it 340 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:16.319 has and I quote, substantial doubt about it or our 341 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:19.400 ability to continue. The company is in trouble. What happened 342 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.079 was a year ago Amazon was going to buy them. 343 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.839 It was a one point seven billion dollar acquisition that 344 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.079 was called off by Amazon because of regulatory hurdles, mostly 345 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:34.079 out of Europe. That's not unusual. The EU has very 346 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:38.319 strict regulatory compliance rules and all that. So I don't 347 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.920 know what the issues were with privacy and all that, 348 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.759 or it was maybe deemed monopoly. But what has happened 349 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.880 since is that there are these brands that have come 350 00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:53.200 out of nowhere, seemingly that are giving comparable performance in 351 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.440 a robotic vacuum and mop combo in one as low 352 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:59.000 as ninety dollars, Like, how do you compete with that? 353 00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:01.720 So if you go to on you'll find brands, some 354 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:06.319 you'll recognize, some you won't. Dream Robo Rock, Shark Shark 355 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:08.119 you probably know, like Shark Ninja. 356 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:09.960 UFI is another one. 357 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.319 The same company as the video door bell lock with 358 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.200 the palm scanning and you can now get comparable quality. 359 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:17.599 So even though the company has a half dozen new 360 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:20.680 models that they're they're also just catching up with light 361 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:25.000 ar sensing instead of other technologies to navigate around your home. 362 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.400 Light R is more efficient. It's it can clean your 363 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:31.480 home better in a shorter amount of time. By learning 364 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:33.839 your home. You probably know that there's an app that 365 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.200 will show you a map of your floor that you 366 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.680 can name, like that's my kitchen, that's my family room, 367 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.160 and then you can tell the smart speaker or the 368 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.480 app clean in front of my stove. Things like that 369 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.880 get very specific. So yeah, so eye robots got to 370 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.079 catch up. But who knows, I'd be worried about buying 371 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:52.440 an eye robot just because you don't know if the 372 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:54.599 company's going to be around. But they did announce some 373 00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:57.440 new they're in they're in debt, they're still paying off 374 00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:57.799 a two. 375 00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:58.960 Hundred million dollar bridge loan. 376 00:19:59.039 --> 00:19:59.400 Wow. 377 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:00.839 Yeah, not not looking good. 378 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.880 Well, And if if I robot goes under, then whatever 379 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.240 Isaac Asimov books are, they're not going to be true anymore. 380 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:12.119 Right, Yeah, yeah, right, you know they were the ogs 381 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:16.039 Rooumbot back in two thousand and two. Right, it's not 382 00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:18.000 the same I Robot as asim of the same name 383 00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.039 for sure. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't know if I 384 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:24.160 should even acknowledge that. Yes, it was a good movie 385 00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:25.119 with Will Smith though. 386 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:26.680 It was a great mind love. 387 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:29.759 I like that movie. I was kind of underrated. But yeah, no, Ruba, 388 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:30.640 they're the ogs. 389 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.079 I Robot came out in two thousand and two, in 390 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:35.680 September of twenty two. But so it's a shame if 391 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:39.160 they go under because they kickstarted this whole robot fact 392 00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:40.680 thing that Kats like to sit on. 393 00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.039 Yeah, we like to watch Kat. I don't think they 394 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:46.319 like it, but we like to watch them sit on it. 395 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:48.920 Mark, thank you and to you. 396 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:50.119 Talk to you next week. 397 00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:53.359 You bet Mark Saltzman follow Mark on x m arc 398 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.559 under marked My dark humor was funny. 399 00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:01.039 He's just got a higher level of humor acuity. 400 00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:05.599 Well, we set the bar high, set it real high. 401 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:09.200
