WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:04.759 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 2 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:05.679 six forty. 3 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.759 KFI AM six forty Bill Handle here on a taco Tuesday, 4 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:16.239 October twenty nine, next Tuesday, the election, and we're not 5 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:16.839 gonna call it. 6 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:18.920 No one's gonna call it the nine of the election 7 00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.160 unless it is a complete landslide, which it won't be. 8 00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.359 So it's gonna go on for days, maybe a couple 9 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:29.960 of weeks before we actually know now talking about the election. 10 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.439 And a couple of things have happened in the world 11 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.679 of newspapers. Two major newspapers, one the La Times, the 12 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:42.119 other one the Washington Post. La Times owned owned by 13 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:47.079 a gentleman, a doctor who became insanely wealthy, Patrick Soon Shong, 14 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.960 and the Washington Post owned by Jeff Bezos. And both 15 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.119 of those papers were gonna come out and endorse Kamala 16 00:00:55.119 --> 00:01:01.479 Harris like papers do, and wording to the editorial board. 17 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:07.400 It was Bezos and Patrick Schuen Shong that said, nope, 18 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.840 there will not be an editorial, there will be no endorsement. 19 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.120 And it took everybody on the editorial board for just 20 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.359 a loop on both papers because they're both saying that 21 00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:25.159 The Times and the Post were just about to publish that, 22 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.760 and it went to the owners for a final approval 23 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.719 and the owner said, nope, you're not going to publish. 24 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:32.400 And all of a sudden, I mean, this is a 25 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:37.040 week before the election and people are reeling. So there 26 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.879 is an op ed piece by a former member of 27 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.280 the La Times editorial board and it was printed in 28 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:44.159 the Atlantic because it wasn't going to be printed in 29 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.079 The Times. And immediately started questioning and a lot of 30 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.000 people started questioning, why do you say no to an 31 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.959 endorsement that the board already has voted on. I mean, 32 00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:58.680 the owners, of course have the right to say no, 33 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:03.000 but usually there's a firewall where the editorial department is 34 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:08.560 separate from the news department and the owners leave it alone. Well, 35 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.639 it didn't happen in this case, and the editorial board 36 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.599 was ignored. The owners overrode the editorial board. And I'll 37 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.960 tell you it happens. For example, in the case of 38 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.439 the Post, two hundred thousand people cancel their subscription. Have 39 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:27.800 no idea how many subscriptions were canceled with the La Times. 40 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:32.800 That hasn't been released yet. Now does a newspaper always 41 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:37.680 endorse not always? Matter of fact, the Times stopped endorsing 42 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.280 for twenty years, actually more than that, right up until 43 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.520 from nineteen seventy two to two thousand and eight. So 44 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:50.080 add that one up all of those decades. Why because 45 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.319 people were a little upset in Los Angeles that the 46 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.479 LA Times endorsed Richard Nixon in nineteen seventy two, sort 47 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.520 of in the middle of Watergate, and so the Times 48 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.759 pulled back, and then in two thousand and eight they 49 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.960 came back and said, well, we're back to endorsing it. 50 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.080 We're gonna endorse this relatively little known guy by the 51 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.439 name of Barack Obama. So in this op ed piece 52 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:23.000 that this writer wrote arguing why endorsements are so important now, 53 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.039 Bezos and Soon Shong said, endorsements from papers do nothing. 54 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.479 They don't move the needle. When it comes to presidential elections. 55 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.360 No one votes for president because the paper has endorsed 56 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:42.840 that particular candidate. And that's not the argument. Oh. The 57 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:47.759 other thing is that Shun Shong said that he had 58 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.400 asked the editorial board to write an analysis of all 59 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.080 the positive and negative policies by each candidate, and the 60 00:03:54.120 --> 00:04:00.199 board didn't do that. And the writer said, oh, yes, 61 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.120 we didn't do that that's just an utter lie that 62 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:11.120 was said by shun. So here's the argument for editorials, 63 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.680 and this one made a lot of sense because I 64 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.840 believe it too. Who cares what a paper? Do you 65 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.800 pay attention to what a paper says an endorsement? I don't. 66 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:26.680 But here is the argument why they're so important. The 67 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:31.279 analysis here, the analogy is endorsements and editorials are a 68 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.759 lot like a lawyer's closing argument to a jury after 69 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:40.199 a long trial, where you have exhibits, you have witnesses, 70 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:46.079 and what the lawyers do is simply remind. They remind 71 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:52.160 the jurors of everything they've seen in chronological order and 72 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.360 to put it all together, and then you vote. You 73 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.079 the jurors vote same thing with the editorial board when 74 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.120 they make an endorsement. This is the argument, is that, 75 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:07.399 look at all of the issues, look at all of 76 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.600 the evidence that has been presented in this campaign. We're 77 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.040 going to put it all together for you, and we 78 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.639 are then going to make a choice as to an endorsement. 79 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:25.879 But that's our choice, not your choice. An endorsement is 80 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.240 not a call. For example, let's say I endorse a 81 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:34.279 candidate and in this election, i am I'm not endorsing, 82 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.839 I'm non endorsing. I am voting against Trump. I'm not 83 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.319 voting for Kamala Harrison. It has happened so many times 84 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.920 because in the last I don't know how many races, 85 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.839 when's the last time you actually voted for a candidate. 86 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.839 We've now come in the world of national politics where 87 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:54.680 you simply vote against. And that's my case. Now. I 88 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.079 gave you all the reasons why over the past several months, 89 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.879 and in the end, the process says, here is who 90 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.759 I'm not going to vote for. However, it's up to you. 91 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.439 I'm adamant about telling you, please, don't pay attention to me. 92 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.759 Just look at me for my reasons. And it's like 93 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.240 sitting down at a cocktail party. You're sitting down at 94 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.120 dinner or having a coffee clatch or clutch, whatever they 95 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.879 call it, and you're saying, here are the reasons, and 96 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.040 you put it all together. That's why editorials are so important. 97 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:31.360 And editorials also The Times, even though it didn't endorse 98 00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.560 a specific presidential candidate the la time, because I read 99 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.480 it every day, The Times had no problem down ticket, 100 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:44.360 not at all. Assembly people judges, they endorse, they enjoy 101 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:48.800 Senate races. It's just the presidential this time around didn't endorse, 102 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:55.079 so bezos is and shouldn't shung are practicing I always 103 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.759 mispronounce everybody's name. Are saying, Nope, nope, nope, we just 104 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.879 don't want to endorse. And it's too bad because paper 105 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:07.519 should endorse. They should endorse, and explain why that's my feeling, 106 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.160 all right, Neil, stop looking at me that way. You 107 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:15.279 know that you shake your head, and you know I'm 108 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.199 not trying to convince you to do or say anything. 109 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.199 No the thought, Yes I am. It's a different world. 110 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.560 It's gotten very heated, and I think in some of 111 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:31.519 these cases it's gotten too much to the point where 112 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.040 it's hard to trust any media whatsoever. 113 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.199 And that's to go back with something a little different. 114 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.759 But that is and that is the problem, because when 115 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.040 I see an endorsement by a major news outlet, and 116 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.959 here the reasons why the endorsement, and it's well thought out. 117 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.240 No one makes any crazy claims. They lay it out 118 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.560 and that I look at because I actually pay attention 119 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:56.279 to the LA Times a lot more than I pay 120 00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:00.000 attention to info Wars. I pay attention to the New 121 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.040 New York Times a lot more than I pay attention 122 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:07.240 to Fox and that's why I'd love to see the endorsement, 123 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.800 and why from a legitimate source in my opinion, where 124 00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:15.000 they're not going crazy with the politics of politics. All right, 125 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:20.279 Next Tuesday, it's election day and we are going to vote. 126 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.839 I'll tell you one thing. I don't get involved in 127 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.240 your voting, except I get really angry when you don't vote. 128 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:31.480 I mean, this is our fundamental franchise. We are a 129 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.600 government of the people, by the people, and if you 130 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.879 don't vote, you have no business saying anything about politics. 131 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.879 It's that simple, all right. So what's going to happen 132 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.120 next Tuesday. Well, we're not gonna have a president next 133 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.000 Tuesday elected. I'll tell you that. Here's what absolutely going 134 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.600 to happen. No matter who wins, Donald Trump's going to 135 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:57.360 claim the election was rigged. If he loses, it was rigged, 136 00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:01.840 he goes to the courts. And even beyond that, if 137 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.240 he wins, it was still rigged because remember he won 138 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.919 in twenty sixteen. But the election was rigged. You know why, 139 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:14.879 because Hillary Clinton got more She got more votes across 140 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:17.720 the country, she got more popular votes, even though she 141 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.440 lost the electoral college. We've talked about that a lot. 142 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:25.320 And so if Trump doesn't win the popular vote and 143 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.840 the electoral vote, it is rigged, even if he becomes president, 144 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.480 like it will happened last time around. So that is 145 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:34.120 going to happen. First of all, we're not going to 146 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:39.399 know who wins unless it is a blow out landslide, 147 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.399 which is not going to happen because you have three 148 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.799 states Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, all battleground states, very slow at 149 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:51.039 counting for various reasons. Some jurisdictions they can't even start 150 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:56.240 counting early ballots until the election day when everything is counted, 151 00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:00.080 and so some have to be hand counted because there 152 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:05.240 will be enough. They'll be so close that some laws 153 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.200 kick in where you have to recount. I mean, there's 154 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.720 a whole bunch of reasons. Now, he claimed, and this 155 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.200 is Donald Trump. He claimed that in twenty sixteen he 156 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.480 was robbed of the popular vote. Okay, he was robbed. 157 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.799 He has already charged. And this is what the Republicans 158 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.639 have said, and particularly him, that the only way the 159 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.120 Democrats are going to win is if they rig the vote. 160 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.000 It is impossible for Donald Trump to lose in a 161 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:40.919 free democratic election. By definition, the only free election that 162 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.960 it can occur in this country is if he wins. 163 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.639 And the unfortunate part. Now, as crazy as that sounds 164 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:50.600 to me, and it does, I mean, it's just it's 165 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:55.759 kind of insane. The majority of Republicans believe that in 166 00:10:55.799 --> 00:11:01.519 this country. I'm talking about regular smart people. I'm talking 167 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.039 about people who I talk to, who have great jobs, 168 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.960 who have a great education, who are rational. And I've asked, 169 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:15.120 was the election rigged when he lost? Absolutely? If he 170 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.200 loses again, is it because there'll be a rigged election. Absolutely, 171 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.000 there's no way we have a free election without the 172 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:29.519 Republicans winning. And so if Trump loses, here come the courts. 173 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:32.480 It's certainly not over on election day. This is what 174 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:35.120 his campaign manager said earlier this year. It's not over 175 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:40.240 on election day. It's over on inauguration day, and the 176 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:45.440 fight is going to continue. Four years ago, when Biden won, 177 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:49.279 there were all kinds of legal challenges the Republicans or 178 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.600 he asked the Republican state legislatures to overturn the results, 179 00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:59.120 demanded that Mike Pence refuse to certify the electoral votes, 180 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.799 which of course he had no legal ability to do that, 181 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.960 and then it culminated into the really angry Trump supporters 182 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:15.279 there in Washington invading the Capitol. And so what happens. 183 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.399 What are the possible outcomes. Well, let's say there is 184 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:21.559 a tie, which it can't happen two seventy to two 185 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:27.159 seventy electoral College. Then it kicks over the House of Representatives, 186 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:31.919 and there every state has one vote. California has the 187 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.480 same as Rhode Island, California with forty million people Rhode 188 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.080 Island with I think eighteen people living in the state 189 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:44.679 at any given time, same vote. And since there is 190 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.240 a Republican majority by a factor of four and still 191 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:53.799 will be on election on election night, Trump gets the election. 192 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.799 If it were a Democratic majority, it would be a 193 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.120 Democrat that gets the election. We'll say that's happened once. 194 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:06.919 By the way, it was Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr 195 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.120 who were fighting for it, and Thomas Jefferson clearly won. 196 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:14.960 Here's the other thing that's been going on around the 197 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:20.120 country the Republican state legislatures, of which there are many 198 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.679 rampant Republicans who were just as angry at the ripoff 199 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.480 when Biden won, because those clearly a stolen election, have 200 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.600 changed the rules and now it is far easier for 201 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:42.679 the election officials to question, to examine, to re examine 202 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:49.919 the vote. They have become, frankly law enforcement officials, because 203 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:53.879 think of this. Election officials their job is to count. 204 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:59.440 That's it. Nothing else count, and if there is an 205 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:03.080 allegation of fraud, if they discover something wrong, they turn 206 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:08.039 it over to law enforcement. Law enforcement deals with fraud 207 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.440 and rigging of the votes, which is a federal crime. 208 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.279 And the way the laws have been rewritten, it is 209 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:22.159 now up to election officials to not only count and certify, 210 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:28.960 but also investigate and overturn votes if they deem that 211 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:36.000 there has been fraudulent voting. And that's the problem they are. 212 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.600 On January sixth, Trump told his followers, if you don't 213 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.399 fight like hell, you won't have a country anymore. This one, 214 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:45.279 it's gonna this is getting even better or worse. Last 215 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:49.159 month in Wisconsin, he said at a rally, if I 216 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:53.360 don't win, migrants will walk into your kitchen, they will 217 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:58.159 cut your throat. We will not have a country anymore. 218 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:04.799 And so the thought of just the litigation going on, 219 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:06.519 I mean, that's sort of a given. I mean, it's 220 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:10.559 getting worse and worse, and as are elections are becoming 221 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:15.440 safer and safer. They're being attacked more and more. For example, 222 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.080 you've got what was a sixty minute piece talking about 223 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.639 I think election Arizona. They have put up the hard wire, 224 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:31.639 hard fences, concertina wire around the election, the nuts, polling 225 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:39.159 place of the ballot, counting buildings Detroit, bulletproof glass in 226 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:45.240 the buildings, Snipers on roofs. This is for counting facilities. 227 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.639 This is to count the votes. And they have snipers 228 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:55.639 on the roof and so it's very depressing, very depressing. 229 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.440 So we're gonna follow, We're gonna see you wins. No 230 00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.279 idea who's gonna win, by the way, none whatsoever. But 231 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:02.879 I know we're going to have the lawsuits of plenty 232 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:04.679 over one hundred, by the way, have already been filed 233 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.440 before the election. Over one hundred lawsuits have been filed 234 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:13.840 to invalidate rules and mail in balloting and when they're 235 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.720 counted and errors are they serious? 236 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:17.080 Errors? 237 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:19.240 Are they not? I mean, this goes on and on 238 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:24.080 all right. Mike Dubuski, who is the ABC News Technology reporter, Mike, 239 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:25.879 thank you so much for taking the time to talk 240 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:31.000 to us. Big doings in the world of Apple their 241 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:34.399 AI is arriving, and I tried to go on Siri 242 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:37.559 today and it was not good. It's going to be 243 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.480 easier for me, isn't it. Well, that's what they say. 244 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.519 So Apple Intelligence is Apple's branding for their take on 245 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.200 the generative artificial intelligence craze. We first got to look 246 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.000 at how they were thinking about this technology all the 247 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:55.120 way back in June at WWDC, their Worldwide Developer Conference. 248 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.799 They made some big promises there, among them a much 249 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:01.080 more intelligent version of Siri that you can talk to 250 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:04.119 just like we're talking now, kind of more natural language, 251 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.960 free flowing conversations. It's gonna be able to do a 252 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.400 lot more as well. In addition to that, they made 253 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:13.359 some big promises around partnerships with open Ai, promising to 254 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:17.799 bring chat GPT into Apple software as well. For things 255 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.440 that their own artificial intelligence can't handle, they're going to 256 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.480 hand it off to chat GPT. Those were just a 257 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.359 few of the announcements they made back in June. Now 258 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.799 we're starting to see the realization of some of those promises. 259 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.759 In a new software update this week to iPhones, iPads, 260 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.640 and Mac computers. You're going to be able to play 261 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.599 around with some Apple intelligence stuff, and what that means 262 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.480 is basically two things. There's a new photo editing tool 263 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.680 where you can go into your photos and basically highlight 264 00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.680 anything that you don't want to be there, and using 265 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:54.200 artificial intelligence, Apple will be able to delete that thing 266 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:57.079 and fill in the background behind it. Is a feature 267 00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.519 that we've seen on other smartphones in the past. Google 268 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.359 pixel as a feature called the Magic Eraser, which has 269 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:05.160 been around for a few years now. Now iPhone users 270 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:07.519 will be able to play around with that technology as well. 271 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.079 And Notifications is the other big AI announcement with regard 272 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:13.400 to their software this week. That's going to be able 273 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.559 to look at your texts, look at your emails, and 274 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.680 summarize them in notification form, so you can get a quick, 275 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.240 at a glance look of what someone wants to tell 276 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:23.759 you without scrolling through a long, boring email. 277 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.359 All right, I use a lot of Siri and it 278 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.119 doesn't really do very good job. I use it on 279 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.839 the phone, I use it on the air here and eh, 280 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:34.839 you know, and I have the traditional series. A matter 281 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.119 of fact, I'm going to try something right now, Okay, Siri? 282 00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:43.319 Who is Mike Dubuski. 283 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:48.359 Oh, Michael John March nineteen eighty two, America, former professional 284 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.200 baseball outfielder, first baseman, and shortstop. 285 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:54.599 So when did you stop playing baseball? Well? 286 00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:57.519 See, here's the thing. Theory got that pretty wrong. I 287 00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:02.000 couldn't even tell you how to play baseball nrtually. So yeah, 288 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.680 that's the thing with Siri is that it's often looked 289 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:08.480 at as the perennial also ran of the voice assistant world. 290 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.119 It's been usurped by Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa in terms 291 00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:14.880 of what it can do. In addition things like that, 292 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.359 like we just demonstrated, it doesn't really understand you very well. 293 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.240 It kind of makes mistakes like that pretty frequently, and 294 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.480 when it can answer a question, it just kicks you 295 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:25.599 over to the web saying like hey, I'll look that 296 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:26.279 up on the web. 297 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.160 For yeah, and it didn't work. So what you're saying, 298 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:34.720 hopefully is that once this Apple AI kicks in, and 299 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:37.480 by the way, I'm going to get another phone. I'm 300 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.880 just it's what is it, the new Blasto five thousand, 301 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:44.319 whatever the hell the new phone is that I'm getting it. 302 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.440 I'm assuming it will have Apple AI. And if I 303 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:51.920 were to ask that same question again next time we talk, 304 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.200 I'll have an idea of who you are, and maybe 305 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.079 you'll be paying football instead of baseball. 306 00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:01.440 Well a couple of asterisks is there. So Apple Intelligence 307 00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:04.480 is only available on certain phones. So depending on what 308 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.319 phone you upgrade to, you may or may not have 309 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.400 access to Apple Intelligence. And this has been a criticism 310 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:13.559 of Apple over the last few weeks. Here, the iPhone sixteen, 311 00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.680 the latest iPhone, all of them across the range are 312 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.759 going to be able to support Apple Intelligence. Only the 313 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.359 iPhone fifteen Pro models are going to be able to 314 00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:26.759 support Apple Intelligence. That's the nicer phones from last year. 315 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:29.799 Anything else, you're kind of out of luck. That's because 316 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.039 the chips, the processors that run in these phones, they 317 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.720 are built to sustain artificial intelligence and AI like this 318 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.880 generative AI requires a lot of computing power, so they're 319 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.960 really limiting the rollout of this technology. What's more, the 320 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.359 smarter SERI isn't available right now. In fact, when the 321 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:51.359 iPhone sixteen launched last month, there was no AI in 322 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:54.599 it really at all in terms of Apple Intelligence, and 323 00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:57.039 that was a criticism of Apple. They're all over the 324 00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:59.519 marketing is Apple Intelligence. You can get the new iPhone 325 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:03.039 sixteen with Apple Intelligence, but up until this week, you 326 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:07.759 really couldn't access any Apple intelligence, and the Apple Intelligence 327 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.519 stuff you can access this week is kind of small fry. 328 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.079 It's a photo editing feature that we've seen in other phones, 329 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:16.359 and it's like a notification summary the bigger stuff, the 330 00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:19.920 smarter serie, the chatch Ept integration that's coming in the 331 00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.839 next few months, and that delay is certainly getting the 332 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:24.880 attention of some smartphone providers. 333 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:29.480 Of course. All right, Mike, thank you much. We'll talk again, 334 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:31.440 and thanks for taking the time, so, of course, take 335 00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:34.880 it all right, Mike Dubuski, ABC News Tech reporter out 336 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:40.400 of New York. All Right, Dodgers Yankees. There's not just 337 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:44.599 a battle for the World Series. There's also the battle 338 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.799 of the brands. How much is the brand of the 339 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:53.279 Yankees and the Dodgers worth? Right now, the Yankees are 340 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.720 the highest value team in Major League Baseball valuation of 341 00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:01.559 seven point six billion dollars. The brand itself is valued 342 00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:05.440 at one point two billion. Dodgers are the runner up, 343 00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.720 their second in the league five point five billion valuation, 344 00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:13.160 and the brand is worth one point one billion. And 345 00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:19.319 why are the Yankees such a top brand in Major 346 00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:22.640 League Baseball? Well, they've won the World Series. More than 347 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:26.079 any other team. I think they have a twenty seven 348 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.440 World Series and the next up is eleven. They had 349 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:35.200 Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Ty Cobb. Does Ty Copp play 350 00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:40.000 for the Yankees? I think he did, I don't remember anyway, 351 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:43.880 So there is a history. And then you know, look 352 00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:48.920 at Jay Z's baseball cap. The Yankees have partnered with Gucci, 353 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:55.440 and Hollywood loves the Yankees, even though the Dodgers are 354 00:22:55.480 --> 00:23:00.279 the LA town are the local team here in Los Angeles. 355 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.079 And here's something I didn't know, by the way, that 356 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.599 the Yankees' logo was that N and Y that are 357 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:14.079 interlocking came from Tiffany's in eighteen seventy seven. Tiffany's actually 358 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:21.319 created the Yankees' logo. Interesting little side story. And according 359 00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:24.799 to Jim Andrews, who's a sports marketing professor at Northwest Journey, 360 00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:29.839 the Yankees have this status where they transcended baseball, and 361 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:31.720 a lot of that is true. I mean, you know, 362 00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:36.279 Babe Ruth, these players transcend baseball. Show Hey Otani certainly 363 00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:39.680 in Japan, and he's beyond baseball, and a few of 364 00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:46.200 the stars are, and there's more so on the Yankees team. 365 00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:49.640 So there's a reason for that. The Yankees are just 366 00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:53.039 the Yankees, although the Dodgers second place, and they're moving 367 00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:58.960 up pretty quickly. Right now in terms of internationalization, the 368 00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:02.480 Dodgers are beating the Yankees. Now. The total number of 369 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:07.119 social media followers, well again, you've got the Dodgers at 370 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.119 thirteen million, you have the Yankees at seventeen and a 371 00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:15.519 half million. However, however, LA fans engage with the team 372 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:20.680 more on social media, the most likes, shares, repost comments, 373 00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:24.559 video views more than any other team in Major League Baseball, 374 00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:28.720 So that helps. And a history of the Dodgers, it's 375 00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:35.400 one of the great rivalries of baseball. The bigger the brand, 376 00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:38.680 the more merchandise you're selling, according to the professor, the 377 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.839 more money you're making. That makes sense. So in twenty 378 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.240 twenty three, the Yankees generated six hundred and seventy nine 379 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:50.880 million dollars, second place Dodgers five hundred and forty nine 380 00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:52.480 million dollars. 381 00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:55.319 And I think a lot of it also has to 382 00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.519 do with where the Yankees play for New York, of course, 383 00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:02.559 the Dodger play for Los Angeles, and what are the 384 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:05.920 two biggest media markets in the United. 385 00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:13.359 States by a long shot New York, LA. So I've 386 00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:18.039 always found it fascinating in terms of the brands and 387 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:20.160 who is worth more. And a lot of it has 388 00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:23.400 to do with the recognition, not even so much how 389 00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:27.319 good a team is, because the Yankees have had miserable years, 390 00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:34.839 but they're still the Yankees, and they're just revered as 391 00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:38.039 baseball the most valuable team out there, by the way, 392 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.000 And I think this is correct, and I'll ask Siri this, 393 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:47.920 and that's Manchester United, the soccer team out of Great Britain, 394 00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:52.440 or at least it was the most valuable sports property 395 00:25:52.640 --> 00:26:00.200 on the planet. Hey, sirih what is the most most 396 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:12.000 valuable sports team in the world the Dallas Cowboys. Del 397 00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:16.000 that's wrong. It even contradicts the story. We did this 398 00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:20.400 story with Mike Dubuski about Siri and Ai and how 399 00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:27.160 crappy it is Manchester United most valuable team in the world, 400 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:30.759 but the brand wars between the Dodgers and the Yankees. 401 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.759
