Speaker 1: for a little bit and Rich Jimuro has been playing
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 4: We'll get his take on it.
Speaker 1: Also, new features coming to an iPhone near you.
Speaker 4: These could be fun.
Speaker 1: And we're also going to ask Rich if he can
Speaker 1: help you, like me, if you got locked out of.

Speaker 1: He's going to join us at five point fifty oh
Speaker 1: and Amy's on it. And this one is really out
Speaker 1: of left field. It's got everyone in it before they
Speaker 1: were anyone that's coming up at the bottom of the hour,
Speaker 1: let's get started with some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. On day five
Speaker 1: of the anti ice protests in La Mayor Bass declared
Speaker 1: a local emergency and issued a one night curfew for
Speaker 1: a one square mile area of downtown. She announced the
Speaker 1: curfew yesterday following days of widespread vandalism and criminal behavior.
Speaker 5: Hundreds of officers from police and sheriff departments from across
Speaker 5: the region and state are working alongside LAPD through a
Speaker 5: unified command structure.
Speaker 1: The curfew was set for eight last night through six
Speaker 1: this morning. A lot of people were still on the
Speaker 1: streets more than an hour after the curfew started. Mayor
Speaker 1: Bass is set to talk with law enforcement today about
Speaker 1: possibly extending the curfew for several more days. A man
Speaker 1: and a woman have been interested in La for allegedly
Speaker 1: vandalizing the Hall of Justice downtown by painting explicit graffiti
Speaker 1: on the headquarters of La County Sheriff's Department and the
Speaker 1: DA's office. Deputies say they saw the man using a
Speaker 1: paint roller on Monday to tag a roughly eighteen by
Speaker 1: twelve foot section of the building. They say he had
Speaker 1: buckets of paint and a ten foot extension poll. The
Speaker 1: woman allegedly acted as a lookout and was caught on
Speaker 1: video recording the vandalism. California Democratic Congressman Lou Correa has
Speaker 1: spoken out against ICE agents in Orange County following raids
Speaker 1: in Santa Anna.
Speaker 6: We are all part of the American fag rig part
Speaker 6: of the American community undocumented, like documented, we all work
Speaker 6: hard to push California to be the fourth largest economy
Speaker 6: in the world.
Speaker 1: He urged people to go back or go to work
Speaker 1: in school, but said be careful. ICE had operations in
Speaker 1: downtown Santa Anna Monday that led to protests.
Speaker 4: The city of.
Speaker 1: Santa Anna says his police officers will not assist federal
Speaker 1: law enforcement with immigration enforcement efforts, and Governor Newsom says
Speaker 1: ICE agents are indiscriminately doing mass deportations, not focusing on
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. As the administration had said it would. In
Speaker 1: an address last night, Newsom condemned how Ice is handling
Speaker 1: the raids. He says President Trump commandeered National Guard members
Speaker 1: and in flamed a combustible situation.
Speaker 4: Wednesday morning, wake up call.
Speaker 1: Time to say good morning to ABC's Giordana Miller, because
Speaker 1: along with the protests, there's lots of other things going
Speaker 1: on around the world and we want to keep you
Speaker 1: up to date on those as well, So Giordana. As
Speaker 1: the war rages on in the Gaza Strip, more countries
Speaker 1: are kind of joining the chorus against Israel's efforts to
Speaker 1: eradicate Hamas.
Speaker 7: What's the latest, Well, the latest is that the UK, Canada,
Speaker 7: Australia and New Zealand have slapped sanctions on two of
Speaker 7: Israel's democratically elected lawmakers, two far right leaders that Bethelo
Speaker 7: Smotrich he's the Finance minister, and Itamar ben Zverer he's
Speaker 7: the Minister of National Security. The UK saying this is done.
Speaker 7: They've made this, took this move because of their incitement
Speaker 7: against Palestinians, their calls to empty the Goza Strip. And
Speaker 7: you know, we know that these countries, the UK and
Speaker 7: others have been weighing possible retaliation against these far right lawmakers,
Speaker 7: and now they've done it. I have to say, even
Speaker 7: though there are a lot of divisions here in Israel
Speaker 7: and many who oppose ben Vere and Smotrich, I think
Speaker 7: really across the political spectrum there is a sense that
Speaker 7: the UK and Canada and others have overstepped in this move.
Speaker 7: That's been the reaction here since these are democratically elected leaders,
Speaker 7: and some saying it really sends the wrong message right
Speaker 7: now during a war and a war that is ongoing
Speaker 7: against a terrorist group like Hamas. So you know, that's
Speaker 7: been the reaction here.
Speaker 4: And Jordana are the sorry the sanctions are they expected to.
Speaker 1: Put a sort of a strangling a stranglehold on Israel
Speaker 1: or kind of what would be the effect?
Speaker 7: Well, well, I mean for these two far right ministers,
Speaker 7: they basically if they had any assets in the UK, Canada,
Speaker 7: Australia or New Zealand, they would be frozen. I don't
Speaker 7: think they have any assets in those countries, but what
Speaker 7: it does mean is that they will not be able
Speaker 7: to travel to those countries while these sanctions are in place.
Speaker 7: And that is a penalty. I mean, that is a restriction,
Speaker 7: a serious diplomatic restriction. For example, for Betzl's Motrich, who
Speaker 7: is the finance minister, that he couldn't travel to the UK.
Speaker 7: You know, that's that's a serious limitation for him. So
Speaker 7: you know, we're going to have to We know that
Speaker 7: the Foreign Minister Gi dons Er said yesterday in a
Speaker 7: press conference, and he's going to hold a cabinet meeting
Speaker 7: with the Prime Minister and they're going to decide on
Speaker 7: steps how they're going to respond to this. We'll have
Speaker 7: to wait and see what they what they decide to do.
Speaker 1: Okay, And is there any indication that like more company
Speaker 1: or more countries are going to kind of jump on
Speaker 1: this bandwagon.
Speaker 7: Well, I think this opens the door for other countries
Speaker 7: to certainly think about it, right, I mean, you know,
Speaker 7: I Tamar Ben Gvier and Bethelsmotrich are very controversial figures.
Speaker 7: Even under for example, the Biden administration, there was essentially
Speaker 7: a de facto ban on those two leaders. The administration
Speaker 7: didn't talk directly to them, they were not invited to
Speaker 7: Washington because they are known as very vocal opponents of
Speaker 7: the two state solution. I mean, they even deny that
Speaker 7: the Palestinians are people, right, and they have said, you know,
Speaker 7: basically they've supported ideas of displacing most of the Gozzens,
Speaker 7: you know, having them move out of the Gaza Strip
Speaker 7: and resettling the Gaza Strip. All of this really in
Speaker 7: stark contrast too for now the positions of Europe and
Speaker 7: in the United States. Even there there's some places where
Speaker 7: even that is in contrast to the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we'll see what happens and whether whether these
Speaker 1: sanctions have any teeth, so to speak. Jordanah Miller in Jerusalem,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for the information.
Speaker 4: As always, we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 7: Thanks, Amy, talk Sonya.

Speaker 1: I got myself locked out yesterday. I was trying to
Speaker 1: do the thing where you change of passwords because of
Speaker 1: the security breach, and I was trying to be good and.
Speaker 4: I locked myself out on your.
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning wake up call and It's Wednesday, which means
Speaker 1: we get to talk to rich Demiro KTLA's tech guy.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to him in just a second.
Speaker 1: Lots of great things to talk to him about this morning.
Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: For a fifth straight day, protesters marched around downtown LA
Speaker 1: protesting ice raids. Police issued a dispersal order outside the
Speaker 1: Metropolitan Detention Center yesterday afternoon and surrounded those who refused
Speaker 1: to leave. More than two hundred people were arrested yesterday,
Speaker 1: more than sixty of them for blocking the one to

Speaker 1: against President Trump's claim that things are out of control.
Speaker 1: Bass says the protests are limited to a few blocks
Speaker 1: of downtown LA and that local, county and state police
Speaker 1: can handle the situation without federal assistance. She added, the
Speaker 1: violence and damage done by protesters, though, is unacceptable.
Speaker 4: So I'm shaking.
Speaker 1: Along the coast of southern California, a three point four
Speaker 1: quake rattled nine miles west of Manhattan Beach at twelve
Speaker 1: fifteen yesterday afternoon. US geological survey says shaking was felt
Speaker 1: across the La basin from the South Bay to West La.
Speaker 1: I didn't feel that one. It was a little far
Speaker 1: away from me though. Let's say good morning now to
Speaker 1: the host of Rich on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's
Speaker 1: tech reporter Rich DeMuro.
Speaker 3: Morning Rich, Good morning Amy.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I changed my password like you told me
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 4: Because of that security breach. Now I'm locked out of
Speaker 4: Facebook at.
Speaker 1: Least they Oh, so here's what happened. I changed it
Speaker 1: on my computer and it says, okay, you've updated your password.
Speaker 4: Way to go.
Speaker 1: Then when I went to go to the app, it said, oh,
Speaker 1: you need to do an authentication and it says go
Speaker 1: to authentication app and enter a six digit code. I
Speaker 1: don't have an authentication app, so then I downloaded that.
Speaker 1: But then it said here, type in a code and
Speaker 1: then it wouldn't accept it, and so I'm locked out.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you got to link that. You got to You
Speaker 10: can't just get the code without linking up the app.
Speaker 10: So on that page it should say somewhere try another way.
Speaker 10: So if you are not, if you did you ever
Speaker 10: set up the authentication app? No, okay, So if you
Speaker 10: didn't set that up, then that means they can text
Speaker 10: you a code. So typically the authentication app is the
Speaker 10: most secure way to log into Facebook.
Speaker 3: That's why they pushed that. But typically you can also.
Speaker 10: Find a little link somewhere that says try another way,
Speaker 10: and it will text you a code or it will
Speaker 10: send a code to your email. So that's what you
Speaker 10: have to look at on or look for on your
Speaker 10: iPhone or whatever phone you're using to log into this app. So,
Speaker 10: but the good news is you still have access on
Speaker 10: your computer. So you could go in on your computer
Speaker 10: and set up the authentication app if that doesn't work,
Speaker 10: and then go to your phone and log in. So
Speaker 10: the good news is you have your password and you're
Speaker 10: not hacked. Okay, so kudos for that.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to do the try another way, need
Speaker 1: another option.
Speaker 4: It says to go to account.
Speaker 1: Recovery, and then it says it could take days and
Speaker 1: to submit a photo ID.
Speaker 3: Don't do that part.
Speaker 10: If you're still if you're still logged in on your computer,
Speaker 10: that means you have access to this account. So I
Speaker 10: would log out fully on the phone and then try
Speaker 10: logging back in and see if that helps. But there
Speaker 10: should be another option to send you a text with
Speaker 10: that phone number code or I guess a code to
Speaker 10: your phone number. That's why mine works at least.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't want to make it all about me,
Speaker 1: but that was a new thing where it was like
Speaker 1: authentication app, what's that?
Speaker 4: And how come on? I have to do that? And
Speaker 4: I was just trying to do the responsible thing, change
Speaker 4: the password.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's frustrating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, let's talk about the stuff that you want
Speaker 1: to talk about, and one of those things is speaking
Speaker 1: of iPhones.
Speaker 4: There's new features coming to the iPhone.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So new generation of iPhone software is going to
Speaker 10: be now named by the year. So the next version
Speaker 10: is going to be called iOS twenty six and I
Speaker 10: got to go hands on with it yesterday. It's very clear,
Speaker 10: very transparent, very sort of glassy. They're calling it liquid glass,
Speaker 10: and the best way to describe it is just everything
Speaker 10: is like clear. So it's totally different looking and that's
Speaker 10: going to come out in the fall. Right now, developers
Speaker 10: are playing with it and then the public can try
Speaker 10: public beta in July.
Speaker 3: But new features include.
Speaker 10: A lot of features for the phone app, so the
Speaker 10: complete redesign, and I know people go nuts over the
Speaker 10: redesign because it changes everything. But your phone app is
Speaker 10: now going to combine your recens your voicemails, and your
Speaker 10: your favorites all on one screen. People are going to
Speaker 10: either love or hate that calls. I don't know, it's
Speaker 10: it's you know, it's one of those things that has
Speaker 10: to grow on you. So we'll see. I'm undetermined on
Speaker 10: that one's yet.
Speaker 3: Call screening.
Speaker 10: So if you get an unknown caller, they basically have
Speaker 10: to say why they're calling, and that will put a
Speaker 10: text on your screen that says, hey, this is Jim
Speaker 10: from the furniture company. They want to deliver your couch.
Speaker 10: And then you can pick up your phones. That's number two.
Speaker 10: Then you've got whole assists. So you call an airline,
Speaker 10: you call your utility company, you get that hold music
Speaker 10: iPhone will say hey, do you want us to hold
Speaker 10: for you, and then we'll call you back when the
Speaker 10: person picks up. And then messages, you know, all those messages.
Speaker 10: I'm sure you've gotten these, like hey, we've got a
Speaker 10: great job for you. It's pays five hundred dollars a
Speaker 10: day with you doing absolutely nothing work from home, and
Speaker 10: those messages will now be screened into an unknown senders
Speaker 10: category so they don't clutter your regular inbox.
Speaker 4: Oh I liked that.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I have a question about the hold assist.
Speaker 1: So it's saying that it will call you back when
Speaker 1: somebody like at an American Airlines picks up after you've
Speaker 1: been on hold, right, But they can do it quick
Speaker 1: enough that the person at American Airlines isn't going to say, oh,
Speaker 1: there's nobody there and hang up.
Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly. So that's a good, great question. So what
Speaker 10: it's doing is actually it's not hanging up the phone.
Speaker 10: It's just listening for the hold music to end and
Speaker 10: then that person picking up. And as soon as the
Speaker 10: person picks up, they go, hey, hold on, I'm gonna
Speaker 10: go grab the person that's supposed to.
Speaker 4: Talk to you.
Speaker 3: Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Speaker 10: And I think, you know, because it's iPhone and everyone's
Speaker 10: going to know about this feature, the customer service reps
Speaker 10: will soon get hipped to it and they'll wait. And
Speaker 10: this has been a feature that's been on Android for
Speaker 10: like five years now, so it's not like it's a
Speaker 10: completely new concept. And yes, I've used it before, and
Speaker 10: the agent typically waits for you to get back on
Speaker 10: the phone.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: So and then I want to ask you about this
Speaker 1: liquid glass thing because you're saying that the apps, So
Speaker 1: the apps are transparent or the phone is transparent.
Speaker 10: Well, the design language is now transparent. So think you know,
Speaker 10: your your control center, your apt icons, like everything can
Speaker 10: be clear basically, So it's you know, you don't have
Speaker 10: to have it that way, but that's like the default.
Speaker 4: Oh so it could just.
Speaker 1: Be like like it could be a white just like
Speaker 1: an overlay that looks like like a frosted glass or something.
Speaker 10: Yes, like everything looks glassy. Like when you lift up
Speaker 10: the lock screen now it looks like you're lifting up
Speaker 10: a pane of glass, like almost like opening a window.
Speaker 3: So I mean it's just like it.
Speaker 10: They just they took this design language of glass and
Speaker 10: put it throughout everything, even the at icons, like they
Speaker 10: all look like stained glass, you know, like all the
Speaker 10: little like features of the app icons. So I mean, look,
Speaker 10: is this groundbreaking? Like, oh my gosh, I can't believe
Speaker 10: Apple did this. No, but it's different and people are
Speaker 10: going to see it, and it's the biggest redesign in
Speaker 10: ten years. So people are going to see it and say, Okay,
Speaker 10: I either like this or I don't like it. But
Speaker 10: the app developers, this is why they show them this
Speaker 10: at WWDC. They now have to go in and rewrite
Speaker 10: their whole app to kind of work with this new
Speaker 10: design language.
Speaker 4: Okay, and that's that's going to be available win later
Speaker 4: this summer.
Speaker 10: Usually September, so there's a public beta that people can
Speaker 10: play with in July. I don't recommend you putting that
Speaker 10: on your main phone. So for the average person, September
Speaker 10: when the new iPhones launched, they typically launched the new software,
Speaker 10: which will be called pop Quiz. What was it called.
Speaker 4: It's called iOS twenty six.
Speaker 3: That's right. I love it here listening.
Speaker 1: Yes, because now they're going to do it by the
Speaker 1: year instead of buy a random number.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, which is you know makes sense?
Speaker 1: I guess okay, And we are out of time, And
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about the Nintendo Switch, so
Speaker 1: we'll have to talk about it later. But thumbs up,
Speaker 1: thumbs down, love it, hate it? Oh still undercide.
Speaker 3: I'll just give you one line. I like it.
Speaker 10: It's already the best selling switch for three point five
Speaker 10: million units in four days.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: So yeah, people like it. My kids like it.
Speaker 1: And Nintendo must like it too, because they just made
Speaker 1: a whole boatload of cash.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so they've been doing that for thirty years now.
Speaker 10: They're pretty good at.
Speaker 4: It, all right.
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro the host of of rich on Tech right
Speaker 1: here on KFI every Saturday from eleven to two. Of course,
Speaker 1: you can watch them on KTLA, follow him on Instagram

Speaker 3: Thank you, Rich, thank you. Amy love it.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to play with that new thing, except
Speaker 1: I do not like the idea of meshing all of
Speaker 1: the recents and the phone calls and the messages. But
Speaker 1: maybe it'll be great when we come back. Amy's on It,
Speaker 1: And this one is way out of left field. It's

Speaker 1: how this came out about. I was walking through the
Speaker 1: hallways yesterday and one of my coworkers had a shirt
Speaker 1: on that said stay Golden pony Boy, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what the heck is that? And I just thought it
Speaker 1: was an interesting shirt. It's just a black shirt with
Speaker 1: yellow lettering. And he's like, haven't you watched The Outsiders?
Speaker 1: That's like the key line from the Outsiders, And I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I never did watch The Outsiders.
Speaker 1: I mean it's an old, old movie. ConA, did you
Speaker 1: watch it? It's kind of a guy movie, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen The Outsiders. Okay, it's very good.
Speaker 4: Well, so I thought, well I should watch this.
Speaker 1: And it has everybody in it before they were anybody,
Speaker 1: Matt Dylan, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Ralph Macchio or Macchio,
Speaker 1: Patrick Swayzeye see, Thomas Howell, Rob Low, Diane Lane. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, she was just a baby in it. Leif
Speaker 1: Garrett's even in there, although I didn't spot him. A
Speaker 1: couple of the Coppolas are in there. Francis Coppola directed it,
Speaker 1: and then so you know, nepotism is alive and well,
Speaker 1: a couple of Coppolas are in there. The theme song
Speaker 1: was done by Stevie Wonder. So it's a coming of
Speaker 1: age crime drama and it was released in nineteen eighty three,
Speaker 1: and at the very beginning of it, all of the
Speaker 1: kids look like kind of younger versions of the Tea
Speaker 1: Birds from Greece. So it's set in the fifties and
Speaker 1: the cool old cars and all of that stuff, complete
Speaker 1: with the scene from a drive in movie. So there's
Speaker 1: the Sosias, and there's the Greasers, and the Greasers are
Speaker 1: from the wrong side of the track, and then there's
Speaker 1: the Sosias, who are obviously the wealthier kids. The Greasers
Speaker 1: or you know, kids with broken homes, but they've got
Speaker 1: each other. So it's really about and Chip and then
Speaker 1: and you know, trying to grow up and the coming
Speaker 1: of age thing. They're young men trying to figure things
Speaker 1: out and making some bad choices along the way. Of
Speaker 1: course they're kind of thugs and that kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: but then they've got little glimmers of hope for the future.
Speaker 1: And I gotta be honest, Cono, you said it was good.
Speaker 1: I thought it was awful. I mean, the movie itself
Speaker 1: was just not good. The acting is bad, the story
Speaker 1: is bad, the score is bad. Remember last week we
Speaker 1: were talking about how much music can make a movie.
Speaker 1: The score just I guess it sounded like something out
Speaker 1: of the eighties, which it was, but the guys are
Speaker 1: so adorable and so young, and for that reason alone,
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it again it's an old movie,
Speaker 1: and I had never seen it, I would say go
Speaker 1: watch it because it is. It is fun to see
Speaker 1: like Tom Cruise and Matt Dillon and they're so young.
Speaker 1: And then I was looking it up because see, Thomas
Speaker 1: Howell hasn't done much lately, but you know, you recognize
Speaker 1: him immediately, and he's like fifty eight years old now.
Speaker 1: So it's just fun. So it's The Outsiders. It's on
Speaker 1: Prime Video. It's also on other streams that you have
Speaker 1: to rent it. It's three seventy nine or something like that.
Speaker 1: But I thought it was fun and definitely worth it.
Speaker 4: Thanks for hanging with us. We're having technical issues.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's not we having technical issues, it's me pushing
Speaker 1: buttons the wrong way today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's going.
Speaker 1: To be one of those days. And I thought it
Speaker 1: was going to be such a great day. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm still happy to have you here. We got handle
Speaker 1: on the news coming up in just a few minutes.
Speaker 1: We may have a deal with China. President Trump has
Speaker 1: announced it. We'll get your details on that. Let's say
Speaker 1: good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim, if you
Speaker 1: want a little boom boom this Fourth of July, it's
Speaker 1: going to cost you.
Speaker 8: It is, yeah, more than it did last year, and
Speaker 8: part of the reason tariffs naturally. The American Pyrotechnics Association
Speaker 8: is pleading with the Trump administration to drop the tariff
Speaker 8: on important fireworks. Did you know the fireworks you buy
Speaker 8: from the neighborhood stand, from the corner stand, on the
Speaker 8: soda from our side of the road down the country,
Speaker 8: nineteen nine percent of those are made in China.
Speaker 4: Yikes.
Speaker 8: If you go to a big show like the ones
Speaker 8: that are encouraged in California, at least the big displays,
Speaker 8: ninety percent of those come from China. So you can
Speaker 8: see that, I mean, if you've got a Originally, the
Speaker 8: tariff was one hundred and forty five percent on imported fireworks.
Speaker 8: That now has been dropped to thirty percent, and the
Speaker 8: pyrotechnics dealers and distributors are urging the administration to drop
Speaker 8: it all together, just at least in the short term,
Speaker 8: to get through the fourth of July.
Speaker 4: Is there any chance that that's actually going to happen.
Speaker 8: I think it might. I mean, I'm seeing right now
Speaker 8: that Trump is saying that there may have been some
Speaker 8: break in the in the whole China tariff situation overall.
Speaker 8: I mean, the two sides have been meeting in London
Speaker 8: for a couple of days.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He said that the US is going to get magnets
Speaker 1: in rare earth minerals from China and if that includes gunpowder, oh,
Speaker 1: and that tariffs on Chinese goods are going to go
Speaker 1: to fifty five percent. And then in return, Trump says
Speaker 1: the US is going to provide China what was agreed to,
Speaker 1: including allowing Chinese students to go to American colleges and
Speaker 1: universities where they can light up fireworks.
Speaker 4: Yes, they can for the fourth of July.
Speaker 1: Although you can't do it here in La anyway because
Speaker 1: it's against the law.
Speaker 8: Yeah, can you do it in the county. Let's see
Speaker 8: statutes there in La. Safe insane fireworks can be sold
Speaker 8: by licensed retailers from June twenty eighth to July sixth.
Speaker 8: Then California boil that's not very much time can be
Speaker 8: used by the public. No, they get certain limitations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, all fireworks are illegal in unincorporated areas of
Speaker 1: La County, including safe insane. La County Fire enforces the
Speaker 1: ban zero tolerance for illegal fireworks. But you know what,
Speaker 1: if you've ever been in LA for the Fourth of July, yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds like a war zone.
Speaker 4: I mean it is crazy. It's crazy. Somehow everybody he
Speaker 4: has them, even though nobody sells them here.
Speaker 8: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you're in an area where they're not illegal,
Speaker 1: they're going to cost you more, they are.
Speaker 8: Right, probably maybe thirty percent more because that's what the
Speaker 8: tariff has been dropped down to. And so the pyrotech
Speaker 8: there are several trade organizations representing the dealers and the
Speaker 8: distributors and the display companies, and they're all kind of
Speaker 8: hoping that these tariffs go away to keep prices from
Speaker 8: going up to it. Naturally, they're going to be higher
Speaker 8: because of transportation, because of labor costs, because of materials.
Speaker 8: The tariffs were just adding on to that, and some
Speaker 8: small communities were having to say, you know what, I
Speaker 8: think we're going to skip our fireworks show this year,
Speaker 8: well and.
Speaker 1: More doing drone shows too. I know at Dodger Stadium
Speaker 1: this Friday night they're doing a drones show instead of
Speaker 1: their normal fireworks show.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Interesting, huh it is.
Speaker 8: And last year I was on a fifth story balcony
Speaker 8: looking at on the fourth of July fireworks out there
Speaker 8: on the left, fireworks to the north fireworks and then
Speaker 8: a big drone show right ahead of there.
Speaker 3: Was beautiful.
Speaker 8: It was really something talk about safe insane.
Speaker 1: Right right, right right, So we will see what's lighting
Speaker 1: up the sky this fourth of July. ABC's Jim Ryan,
