I've been watching 29 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.480 my shows because you know, I like to watch all 30 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.200 of the shows because I'm a junkie about political just 31 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.239 like you know, knowing what's going on. CNN is giddy 32 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:52.480 about Tim Walls. Fox is appalled, and both Harrison Walls 33 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.239 are on the attack. It is going to be a wild, 34 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.400 wild ride. Here's what's a head on wakeup call. As 35 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:00.840 I just mentioned, Kamala Harrison, her just announced running mate 36 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:02.920 Tim Wallas, have hit the ground running with a campaign 37 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.359 rally in Pennsylvania.

Democratic Representative Corey Bush has lost her primary. 41 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.319 She's been a vocal critic of the Israeli government and 42 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.360 its response to the Hamas terrorist attacks. On October seventh, 43 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.919 she was beaten by Israeli group backed Saint Louis County 44 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.840 Prosecutor Wesley Bell in the primary yesterday.

The motion would set up designated protest areas 48 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.719 outside places like mosques and synagogues, and also community centers 49 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.120 that would still allow for people to come and go 50 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.800 to those locations. The motion now heads to the Council's 51 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.159 Public Safety Committee for consideration.

The quake 64 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.560 was located near Bakersfield. It lasted for about thirty seconds 65 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:41.840 last night. This guy in Ventura says he was in 66 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:43.120 bed when he felt the shaking. 67 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.879 I heard the dogs neck door making some noise, and 68 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.000 then I got the text from the USCS or whoever. 69 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.360 And then about two seconds later we felt the earth 70 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:55.000 start to move. 71 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.680 Apparently the earthquake was felt as far away as Riverside, 72 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.560 so Kono.

The money comes from Councilman 77 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.680 Kevin Dalleyon's district office.

They've also hit cultural monuments statues. 82 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:37.199 And plaques, leading to costly repairs and replacements in downtown La. 83 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:39.160 Michael Monks KFI News. 84 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.839 A man has stabbed and killed a coyote that got 85 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.720 into his home and seeing a semi valley, and attacked 86 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.759 his small dog.

A slight cooling tra is hitting 91 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.600 southern California following a heat wave that brought heat advisories 92 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.600 and excessive heat warnings to the Southland.

Vice 95 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.279 President Harris says Minnesota Governor Tim Walls will be ready 96 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.800 on day one. Harris introduced Walls as her running mate 97 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.920 for the twenty fourteen or twenty twenty four presidential election 98 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.040 at a rally in Philadelphia yesterday. 99 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.639 Coach Walls and I may hail from different corners of 100 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.920 our great country, but our values are the same, and 101 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:37.439 we both believe in lifting people up, not knocking them. 102 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:41.240 Down Walls is a former high school teacher, a high 103 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.160 school football coach, National Guard member, and a six term 104 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.600 member of Congress. A survey says seventy one percent of 105 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.439 Americans don't know yet who he is. A State assembly 106 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.720 member from the San Fernando Valleys joined with elected officials, celebrities, 107 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.120 and child health advocates to push for the passage of 108 00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.519 the California School Food Safety Act. 109 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.240 Anthetic food dies which are the target of this bill 110 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.920 six synthetic food dice can cause harm to children that 111 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.800 they can cause hyperactivity and other neurobehavioral problems in our children. 112 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.279 Assembly Member Jesse Gabriel says that includes red dye forty. 113 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.360 The legislation would not ban specific foods or products, but 114 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.959 rather would encourage companies to make minor changes to products 115 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.959 sold in California, which could encourage other states to make 116 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.680 similar changes. The bill faces a vote in the Senate 117 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.920 Appropriations Committee next week. Okay, we got Rich, So let's 118 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:33.879 say good morning now to the host of Rich on 119 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.920 Tech on KFI KTLA tech reporter Rich DeMuro, who we're 120 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.560 talking to a little bit early today because we've got 121 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.240 Anez with Olympic updates every day. So We'll be back 122 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.000 to the normal time with Rich next week, but we 123 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.279 get to talk to you early this week. So Rich 124 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.600 tell us about Google's new streaming device. I'm just finally 125 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.480 figuring out how to use my fire device, so I 126 00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:57.079 need a new one. 127 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.560 Now, well, you don't need a new one necessarily, but 128 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.399 I think that this actually competes better with what Roku has, 129 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.759 what Apple TV has, and what Firestick has. It's one 130 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.720 hundred dollars. It's a Google TV streamer, and basically Google 131 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.319 has been all in on Chrome Cast for a long time, 132 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.040 but now they're you know, this is a set top box, 133 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.480 and so I think that it addresses a lot of 134 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.720 the issues that people had it. It has much more 135 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.600 power than the last device that came out with. It's 136 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.000 got four K It's got eight hundred free live TV channels. 137 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:29.720 So I was actually checking some of these out the 138 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.360 other day. I mean, you can watch a lot of 139 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.879 stuff for free, and of course it has AI built in. 140 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:37.160 That's to be determined. I need to see how good 141 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.920 that is. But Google has some pretty good AI for saying, hey, 142 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:42.519 I want to watch a movie like this or with 143 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.439 this person, or you know, family comedy, whatever. But this 144 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.720 This will arrive on September twenty fourth. 145 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.519 And do we know how much is going to cost? 146 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:51.959 One hundred bucks? 147 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:56.160 And you said it's got four hundred live TV channels. 148 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.680 Eight hundred lives, eight hundred Yeah, so is. 149 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.920 It going to have like local like I can watch 150 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.639 Channel four and seven with it? 151 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:05.079 I don't know what those channels are? 152 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.920 Oh, okay, can I watch KTLA channel five on that? 153 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.120 No, I've heard of that one. You know what. That's 154 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:11.720 a good question. 155 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.439 I don't know, actually, because I don't think we're on 156 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.040 I you know, I got to look at that, because 157 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.199 I do know you have access to a lot of 158 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.000 those like you know. 159 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.199 Streaming only news stations. 160 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.160 It's just a lot of stuff, Like they have channels 161 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.319 dedicated to I was just flipping through. It's like they 162 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.480 have channels that just like show like you know, food 163 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.959 channels and you know, travel stuff. But that's the biggest 164 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.799 growing area is all these free channels that people don't 165 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.039 want to pay for streaming services. Yeah, so Roku's got them, 166 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.000 you know, fire TV's got them, and now Google has 167 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:40.320 them too. 168 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:40.799 Yeah. 169 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:45.120 I'll be interested to see because like my my firestick 170 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.879 or whatever, it has some channels, but It's like you 171 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:49.720 can watch the news in Chicago and I'm like, I 172 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.480 don't really care about the news in Chicago exactly. 173 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.320 It's very hit or miss, but I think people find stuff. 174 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.440 But yes, for for KTLA specifically, I don't know if 175 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.360 we have a Google TV app just yet, but I 176 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.720 know we're on Roku, Apple TV and the other one Firestick. 177 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.759 Okay, so that's coming out September twenty fourth, and then 178 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.120 let's move on shall we know? 179 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:11.759 We know that. 180 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:14.000 Is it. 181 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.480 Google's in a lot of trouble because they say that 182 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.120 they're operating as a monopoly forcing people to use their 183 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.679 search engines. But now Apple has something brewing with bing. 184 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.200 Well. I thought this was pretty interesting. 185 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.799 So we heard yesterday that, you know, the judge, federal 186 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.960 judge ruled that Google does run an illegal monopoly when 187 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.240 it comes to search. And the main issue is that 188 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.200 Google pays billions of dollars to companies like Samsung and 189 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.919 Apple and many others so that when you open up 190 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.720 that smartphone and go to the web browser, what comes 191 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.120 up Google by to fall right, And so Google pays 192 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:49.720 a lot of money these companies to do that. And 193 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.879 this judge said, you know what, that's really stifling the competition. 194 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.279 We don't think that Google's a bad search engine. They 195 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.720 actually think it's a really good search engine. He mentioned that. 196 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.000 He said the problem is for advertise because there's no competition. Basically, 197 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.080 all these advertisers have to use Google Search for those 198 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.240 little text links up at the top of the results, 199 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.639 and Google can charge as much as they want because 200 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.960 there's no one else that you're gonna go to anyway. 201 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.879 That's just also set it up Amy where inside this 202 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:21.120 judge's report there was a mention where Apple I guess 203 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.639 Microsoft came to Apple and said, hey, we'll put bing 204 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.360 on the iPhone as a default, and Apple said there 205 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.360 is no price that Microsoft could ever offer us to 206 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:34.080 get us to do that, because clearly they don't like 207 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:35.360 bing very much. 208 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.480 Okay, so I guess we're not seeing that change coming. 209 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.240 This is I'm this is an important one because if 210 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.840 you're having an emergency, you're probably not thinking straight and 211 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.080 you need to access those magic three numbers as quickly 212 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.840 and easily as possible. And it's you know, you have 213 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.519 to do certain things on your phone to get to 214 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.600 the dialer to do the nine to one one. 215 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.639 Yeah, and so I was this kind of was. 216 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.440 You know, it's it's very appropriate today after last night's earthquake. 217 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:06.600 But if you ever need help fast, yes, you can 218 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.200 always dial nine one one, of course, but like you said, 219 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.720 sometimes you want to do this faster, right, and so 220 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:13.080 every phone and. 221 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:15.000 Watch actually has a shortcut. 222 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.320 And for most yes, so most of the phones, you 223 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.720 can just press your side button like the power button, 224 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.759 five times fast and that will automatically dial nine one one. Now, 225 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.519 if you turn it off in the settings, you can 226 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.360 go into the settings and you know, make. 227 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:29.399 Sure you have that turned on. 228 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.360 But I thought that was really interesting because you know, 229 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.039 it could make you know, a change, if it could 230 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:36.600 be the difference in life and death if you get 231 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:40.480 that number dialed faster. If you have a smart watch, 232 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:43.639 Apple Watch, Google Pixel Watch, or Samsung Watch, same thing 233 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.519 on Apple Watch, you press and hold the side button 234 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:49.480 the flat one, Just press and hold that. That'll bring 235 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.799 you to the nine one one screen Google Pixel and 236 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.679 the Samsung you can press the button five times fast 237 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.279 and you can also ask the voice assistant Siri and 238 00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:00.519 Google can dial nine one one Alexa cannot. I've got 239 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.320 all the instructions on the website so you can review them. 240 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.879 Familiarize yourself with them before you ever need this. 241 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.440 Okay, And you're talking more about this on this one 242 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:09.480 on KTLA this morning. 243 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.440 Right, Yes I am, and I'll show you how to 244 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:12.120 do all that stuff. 245 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:14.519 Okay, very cool, that's very cool. I know that when 246 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.519 I try to turn the phone off, it says, hey, 247 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:18.440 do you want to dial nine to one one? 248 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.039 I'm like no, that's. 249 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.200 How people discover it, like ninety percent of the time, 250 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.200 or you're trying to take a screenshot or something and 251 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:25.960 you're like, wait, no, don't dial. 252 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.679 Okay, all right. Always good to know how to dial 253 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.039 nine one. Seems like it's an intuitive thing, but on 254 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.399 smartphones it's kind of not. And one more thing, oh no, 255 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.279 two more things. Gosh, we have so much to talk about. 256 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:40.799 Costco's changing things up a little bit. Now you have 257 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:42.679 to scan your membership card to get in. 258 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:44.679 Yeah. I thought this was pretty interesting. 259 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.840 Over the weekend went to Costco and first time I've 260 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.080 ever seen this, But you have to scan your membership card. 261 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.240 They've got like an iPad set up with a little scanner, 262 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:55.559 and I guess they are verifying you are who you 263 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.799 say you are and making sure that you are you 264 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.320 have a valid membership to go in, and so when 265 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.519 you scan it, I guess your picture pops up on 266 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.360 the iPad, they verify it's you, and you can walk in. 267 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:10.720 So this has obviously created a ripple effect across southern California, 268 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:14.080 as I posted this to my Twitter and Facebook, and 269 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.840 people are reporting that there's many many stores in our 270 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.440 area have now implemented this procedure. It makes sense because 271 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:21.960 they're supposed to be a member to go into Costco. 272 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.480 But I guess a lot of people are going in 273 00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:27.240 with expired or inactive membership cards or just trying to 274 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:28.320 use someone else's. 275 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.039 Okay, the using someone else's I get, but the expired 276 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.159 one wouldn't make a difference because you couldn't check out 277 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:34.200 with an expired card. 278 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:37.039 Oh and my favorite is when they're just like, oh, 279 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.440 we just added your membership to the total. You just 280 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.120 spent like three hundred bucks, yere, and we just added 281 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.000 another like fifty or sixty whatever it is. 282 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:48.639 You're like, no, okay, So something new at Costco. Okay. 283 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.960 And then lastly, we're going to be probably inundated with 284 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.679 political texts. I'm getting them all ready. Is there any 285 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:55.399 way to stop those? 286 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.440 Really, really tricky. So the you know, look, there are 287 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.039 so many lists out there. We're all getting these messages 288 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.360 that are texts that are unwanted and spam. If it's 289 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:10.440 a legitimate sender, it should respond to what's called stop. 290 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.320 So if you've got a legitimate text from someone, you 291 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:15.519 can type in stop if it's from a business or 292 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.639 political and they would stop that. But after that it 293 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.600 gets pretty tricky because many of these are just political lists. 294 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:25.080 And also, by the way, if you're on the do 295 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.919 not Call list, that does not apply to political calls 296 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:32.039 and texts, So you're kind of like basically at the 297 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.879 mercy of deleting these things, ignoring them, or if you 298 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:38.480 think it's legitimate, then you can try texting stop and 299 00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:39.639 see if that works. 300 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.639 So I think the takeaway from that is you're going 301 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:45.279 to be getting a lot of political texts, and. 302 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:46.600 You're gonna be getting a lot. 303 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.639 I mean, look, you can forward them to like spam spam, 304 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.000 but I don't really think that that works, to be honest, 305 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.360 And also it's not going to help you. 306 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.840 It's just gonna maybe these. 307 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.919 People text from so many different numbers, I don't think 308 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.279 it's always the same every time, so it's just it's like, 309 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.679 you know, you get set up unknown texts going to 310 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.519 that unknown folder, but then sometimes your other texts going there. 311 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.120 So I think we're all just like this is a problem, right, 312 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:10.360 the bottom line. 313 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:12.159 All right, and we're stuck with it, and we've got 314 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:14.399 three months to the election, so I would expect it 315 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:16.759 to ramp up. Rich Demiro, thank you so much for 316 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:19.360 your time today. As always, we'll talk to you next 317 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:22.840 week again at five twenty.

There 329 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.519 have been at least thirty eight after shocks that rumbled 330 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.120 the Lamont In Great Vine areas. The largest after shock 331 00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:02.360 was a four point five hunting in Beach City Council 332 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:07.080 is considering an ordinance that challenges the newly signed California 333 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.639 law that bars public schools from requiring teachers to notify 334 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.679 families if a student starts identifying as a different gender. 335 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:18.399 Mayor gra C. Vandermark says he wants to make Huntington 336 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.759 Beach the first parents right to no city. The mayor 337 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:25.200 says the Fourteenth Amendment is on her side. Got to 338 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:28.159 get my hers and hymns straight, saying it gives us 339 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:31.360 the constitutional right to parent our children. The city of 340 00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.799 Long Beach is considering a plan to allow people to 341 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.080 smoke marijuana at public events. Long Beach City Council talked 342 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:39.600 about the plan yesterday. It would allow businesses to get 343 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.840 temporary permits to sell pot and let people smoke it 344 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.559 or eat it at public events. At six o five, 345 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:47.799 It's handle on the news. NASA says it needs more 346 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:49.279 time to come up with a plan to get two 347 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.440 of its astronauts back to Earth. They're stuck on the 348 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.840 space station because of issues with the Boeing Starliner.

We now have twenty 355 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:16.039 four gold medals. 356 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:20.759 Nice. And then so China's still in second, that's. 357 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:23.279 Right, Ta has twenty two. We're still leading also in 358 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.279 the total medal counts with eighty six. China has sixty. 359 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:29.359 But yeah, we're doing great so a few days ago though, 360 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.000 so we still have a lot of events to get through, 361 00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:33.440 but certainly some welcome news. 362 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:33.720 Yeah. 363 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.480 And the US women's soccer team is powering its way 364 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:40.039 toward an Olympic gold medal, that's right. 365 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.720 Yeah, So they had an incredible game yesterday.

They went into extra time 367 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.759 and it was Sophia Smith that gave the Americans the 368 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:54.200 goal they needed to advance. So they did defeat Germany 369 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.000 one to nothing, and they will be facing Brazil in 370 00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:58.720 the final on Saturday. 371 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:01.079 And what's a vibe at thisccer games? Is it like 372 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.119 as electric as you know other soccer matches. 373 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:08.000 Yeah, I famally haven't been to the soccer games yet, 374 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:09.839 but they are, I mean from what I've seen the 375 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.079 pictures yeah, there are so many team say fans who 376 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.799 are there cheering people on and and the women's team. 377 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.839 I think they just have a really committed fan base. 378 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.200 So we'll see how they do on Saturday, but we 379 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.720 are expecting that to be a big one certainly want 380 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.279 to watch. You've also got basketball, the team sports actually, 381 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.799 you know, are finally they've been ongoing. They had to 382 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.200 get through all their different rounds and all the different games, 383 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.839 but we're now in the final stretch. So we do 384 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.359 have basketball also who they have the men's team. They 385 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.279 won against Brazil yesterday and they are favored to win 386 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.160 the goal, so they are advancing. We'll see how they do, 387 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.799 but certainly may be shocked if they didn't win the goal. 388 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:49.440 They have such an incredible line up. They're on the 389 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:50.559 men's basketball. 390 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:53.039 Team well, and they're just demolishing their competition, aren't they. 391 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:56.359 That's right. Yeah, I mean, you've got I feel like 392 00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.000 it's unfair for the other teams. You've got Lebron James 393 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:02.359 and Stuff Curry and Kevin Duras and they're all teaming 394 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:05.720 up for the Olympics, so it's yeah, it's always unfair 395 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.200 for the other teams. But but yeah, They're absolutely crushing it. 396 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:11.680 And I saw that Steph Curry's taking a little time 397 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:13.960 out from basketball to go watch gymnastics. He was in 398 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.599 the crowd the other night watching watching some own viles. 399 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.880 We talked about American beauty Colley. She's pretty. Gabby Thomas yesterday, 400 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:24.519 how'd she do in her two hundred meters? 401 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:28.200
