Speaker 1: Disney celebrating big anniversaries this weekend at its annual d
Speaker 1: twenty three. Pixar's first feature film, Toy Story, is celebrating
Speaker 1: its thirtieth anniversary. Miss Piggy is hosting a retrospective as
Speaker 1: the Muppets turned seventy, and Marvel is celebrating fifty years

Speaker 1: The convention starts tomorrow, and we're affected by that because
Speaker 1: our very own Nick Poliochini has ditched work to go
Speaker 1: hang out at D twenty three. Time to say good
Speaker 1: morning to our terror and crime analyst, it's ABC's Brad Garrett.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Brad, Good morning, namy okay, So is nothing
Speaker 3: sacred Taylors.
Speaker 1: We have had to cancel her concerts in Vienna after
Speaker 1: two people were arrested for plotting a terror attack. And
Speaker 1: we're just hearing that from the Interior Minister that they're
Speaker 1: saying the attacks were going to be carried out today
Speaker 1: or tomorrow.
Speaker 8: So you've got a nineteen year old, a seventeen year old,
Speaker 8: and they also mentioned a fifteen year old now then
Speaker 8: and seventeen year old. I think you're in custody. The
Speaker 8: fifteen year old they've interviewed, but it's not in custody
Speaker 8: according to A what they found and B what the
Speaker 8: nineteen year.
Speaker 4: Old has told police.
Speaker 8: According to the police is that yes, there were explosives.
Speaker 4: In the house and he said the plan was the
Speaker 4: following that they were going.
Speaker 8: To set off explosives outside the venue. So in other words,
Speaker 8: as concert goers, and we're talking three concerts, sixty five
Speaker 8: thousand plus per concert, that's like two hundred thousand people. Now,
Speaker 8: obviously you could only pull this off once, but that's
Speaker 8: a lot of people. Amy, So if you set up
Speaker 8: explosives and then they said they were going to stab
Speaker 8: as many people as they could on top of that,
Speaker 8: the scary thing about this scenario is they might be
Speaker 8: able to have pulled this off just for the obvious
Speaker 8: that they're not inside the venue or trying to get
Speaker 8: inside the venue. Ice is inspired according to the nineteen
Speaker 8: year old. I think the police believe that that is
Speaker 8: the case based on what they've released, and you know,
Speaker 8: another plot foiled. But you know, the big concern is
Speaker 8: how many other versions of this are lurking out there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so do we know it's probably it's probably
Speaker 1: too early, But do we know how they found these guys?
Speaker 8: You know, in an earlier release by the police, they
Speaker 8: made some comment that they were aware of the nineteen
Speaker 8: year old. So that translates from me amy into either
Speaker 8: somebody tipped them off about hey, you need to take
Speaker 8: a look at this kid, or they picked them up
Speaker 8: online because typically isis will recruit kids like this online
Speaker 8: and so maybe they got on to that at some point.
Speaker 1: Okay, and so we've got three people that we know of,
Speaker 1: and they're not saying whether anymore were possibly involved, but
Speaker 1: they did cancel three shows.
Speaker 8: They're apparently still looking into other accomplices that they haven't
Speaker 8: defined that. But my sense would be the combination of
Speaker 8: a what they were about to do or attempt to do,
Speaker 8: and the idea that they don't have maybe everybody corralled
Speaker 8: that is involved in this. I think the concert venue,
Speaker 8: out of an abundance of caution, canceled.
Speaker 4: The three shows, which my guess was the right thing
Speaker 4: to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the concert organizers, it's just flashing on the
Speaker 1: ap that the organizers saying it stands behind canceling the shows,
Speaker 1: because you know, just to make sure that people are
Speaker 1: saying and you mentioned the other thing that I think
Speaker 1: was really interesting is that they weren't going to try
Speaker 1: to get in to the stadium. And one thing about
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift shows is that people hang out outside the stadium,
Speaker 1: and they were expecting like ten or fifteen thousand people
Speaker 1: outside the stadium each night just to be there even
Speaker 1: though they couldn't get in, right.
Speaker 8: So that's what I'm saying, that the numbers are potentially
Speaker 8: people being harmed. I mean, even if you couldn't get
Speaker 8: into the stabbing part of it much just setting off,
Speaker 8: if you set off multiple explosives with the number of
Speaker 8: compressed people outside these venues, I mean, it's a pretty
Speaker 8: horrifying thought.
Speaker 1: Yes, So, Brett, is therea I mean, you look into
Speaker 1: these kinds of things. Is there anything that we can
Speaker 1: do to make targets less vulnerable? And are we expecting
Speaker 1: to see more of these kinds of things?
Speaker 8: Well, think about it this way, Amy, is that if
Speaker 8: the target And I'm not convinced that Taylor Swift was
Speaker 8: the target at all, But Taylor Swift is a well
Speaker 8: known person, just like former President Trump is.
Speaker 4: A well known person or fill in.
Speaker 8: The blank, well known politician, actor, whatever it might be
Speaker 8: that they what they because they have such high name recognition.
Speaker 8: There are attractive targets because if you think the following,
Speaker 8: if you're trying to make a statement, it's through you know,
Speaker 8: that's alluded thinking of isis? Or you're somebody maybe like
Speaker 8: the shooter in Butler Pennsylvania that we don't really.
Speaker 4: Know much about. Is that driven by.
Speaker 8: Fame in name recognition in other words, I want attention.
Speaker 8: I'm going to guess that shooter in particular was driven
Speaker 8: by that, and maybe even these kids in Austria.
Speaker 4: I mean, let's let's face it, you're going to be really.
Speaker 8: Famous now, not in a good way, but that's what
Speaker 8: fame drive a lot of these mass shootings or mass attacks.
Speaker 8: And I'm sure I think in some former fashion is
Speaker 8: going to play into both this and the Butler Pennsylvania shooting.
Speaker 1: Well, what I think is interesting is that you mentioned
Speaker 1: that the fame of being that person, you know, being
Speaker 1: the next John Hinckley junior or something. But with ICES
Speaker 1: recruiting them, do they push that and say, hey, this
Speaker 1: would be good for you, because ICES has a whole
Speaker 1: different agenda, you know. I mean, and I don't see
Speaker 1: how that furthers isis.
Speaker 8: Cause well it's certainly it certainly furthers their cause because
Speaker 8: you're doing it in their name. Now, they're not going
Speaker 8: they may be going there in their own nineteen year
Speaker 8: old's head for fame, but ICES is going to convince
Speaker 8: them that this is the only way we can cleanse
Speaker 8: the earth of all these infidels and that in the
Speaker 8: important part of this scenario amy is that it makes
Speaker 8: them feel important. I mean, let's face it, if you're
Speaker 8: an ISIS recruiter, you're not going to target you know,
Speaker 8: somebody that's about to go to Harvard and you know
Speaker 8: and is on a bunch does a bunch of positive
Speaker 8: things every day because they're going to go, you're crazy.
Speaker 8: They're going to target lonely, isolated and angry kids and
Speaker 8: that's who they look for, and unfortunately we now have
Speaker 8: a lot of them because of the Internet.
Speaker 3: Okay, anything we can do.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you just like, is it gonna see
Speaker 1: something say something or are we just kind of going
Speaker 1: to have to deal with.
Speaker 3: This kind of thing.
Speaker 8: It's well, we're albably going to have to deal with
Speaker 8: it because the threat level is like astronomical. Most of
Speaker 8: the stuff you and I don't hear about, but it's
Speaker 8: out there. I mean, law enforcement comes across this stuff
Speaker 8: every day. Most of it they wash out that the
Speaker 8: folks are just you know, saying inappropriate things.
Speaker 4: But you have to figure that out.
Speaker 8: And you know how the Austrians got onto this kid,
Speaker 8: this nineteen year old they said they were already aware
Speaker 8: of him. You know, did they intercept his some of
Speaker 8: his chats with the ISIS. Maybe maybe somebody tipped them off.
Speaker 8: But I mean, you know, law enforcement can't keep up
Speaker 8: with all the stuff that's online. I mean you're talking
Speaker 8: like millions of people that are saying inappropriate things online.
Speaker 8: A vast, vast majority of them are just saying things.
Speaker 4: They're just talkers.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but if those few that that's say, you know,
Speaker 8: we're going to run with the ball and commit this act.
Speaker 4: You know, that's the ones you want to stop. But
Speaker 4: you know, can we stop all of them? Well, well,
Speaker 4: obviously sometimes we don't.
Speaker 3: Well we got them this time, though, and so that's good.
Speaker 4: We did. Absolutely, it's a great catch.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: Brad Garrett, thank you so much for the information. It's
Speaker 1: ABC News Crime and Terrorism Analyst. You can follow Brad
Speaker 1: at Brad Investigates.

Speaker 3: Right now, boujeour.
Speaker 9: Love my intro music.
Speaker 3: So Inez.
Speaker 1: The women's basketball team, much like the men's team, is
Speaker 1: getting closer to.
Speaker 3: Going for goals.
Speaker 9: That's right, yeah, So, I mean as the Olympics are
Speaker 9: beginning to wind down, we are also getting into the
Speaker 9: most interesting phase four team sports. So the women's basketball
Speaker 9: team easily defeating Nigeria yesterday in the quarterfinals, and they
Speaker 9: are now going to the semi finals. They'll be up
Speaker 9: against Australia. And on the men's side a team USA
Speaker 9: winning against Brazil a couple of days ago, and they
Speaker 9: will now be playing Serbia. That's happening tonight. They are
Speaker 9: favored to win against Serbiabia does have Nikola but but
Speaker 9: Serbia does have Nikola Jokic, who is an incredible player,
Speaker 9: three time MVP. So I still think it will be
Speaker 9: an interesting game.
Speaker 1: I hope it will be because as we were discussing,
Speaker 1: they've been such blowouts. Did they won by like forty
Speaker 1: points the other night or something crazy? Might not have
Speaker 1: been that much.
Speaker 9: Don't fare so fair to the other team?
Speaker 1: I know, right, So the fastest man in the world
Speaker 1: has another race.
Speaker 3: How did he do that?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: Yet?
Speaker 9: No, Lyles, that's the fastest man in the world. After
Speaker 9: he won the one hundred meter race, he won the
Speaker 9: gold in that. He is now going to be competing
Speaker 9: today in the two hundred meter final, so that we're
Speaker 9: hoping he gets his second Olympic gold medal today. It
Speaker 9: will't He finished second in the two hundred meter semi
Speaker 9: finals yesterday, but the same thing happened with the one
Speaker 9: hundred meter race where he finished second in the semi
Speaker 9: final but then ended up winning the gold. So we're
Speaker 9: hoping for a repeat of that, and yeah, see.
Speaker 3: The gas for the finals.
Speaker 9: Right exactly, that's what we're hoping in. So many of
Speaker 9: these races have been so exciting with these last minute,
Speaker 9: you know surges, especially from tm USA. I feel like
Speaker 9: we've seen that a lot in recent days with TMSA
Speaker 9: runners just sprinting at the very last minute and taking medals.
Speaker 9: So yeah, we'll see you should be a good one,
Speaker 9: you know what.
Speaker 3: I think it's been interesting.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed this, and if you
Speaker 1: guys have noticed this, but when you watch the sprint,
Speaker 1: and man, it's over in like two seconds, But when
Speaker 1: you watch them sprinting, if they're ahead and it's a preliminary,
Speaker 1: it almost looks like they slow down a little bit
Speaker 1: right toward the end, like they're like, oh, hey, I
Speaker 1: got it, and you're like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: Don't let off the gas?
Speaker 1: And then you go, Okay, they're running fifty times faster
Speaker 1: than I ever could anyway. But I just think it's
Speaker 1: interesting to watch the dynamic of it.
Speaker 9: But yeah, and all the strategy that goes into it too.
Speaker 9: I thought, you know, watching the Cole Hawker race the
Speaker 9: other day where he was a total long shot, the
Speaker 9: strategy that goes into it about you know, finding an
Speaker 9: opening on the inside on the outside of the track,
Speaker 9: I thought was really interesting as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought I missed this, but apparently breakdancing is
Speaker 1: still coming up.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that is starting at tomorrow. We're calling it breaking.
Speaker 9: It's basically breakdancing, but they're calling it breaking for the Olympics.
Speaker 9: It starts tomorrow. It's going to be a two day
Speaker 9: competition breaking athletes. They're known as bee boys and bee girls,
Speaker 9: and there will be bee boys and be girls from
Speaker 9: more than a dozen countries, so places like China, France,
Speaker 9: the US of course. On Temusay, you've got Victor Montalvo,
Speaker 9: nicknamed bee boy Victor, who's been called the Michael Jordan
Speaker 9: of breaking, and he is expected to meddle.
Speaker 1: How do they judge that, I just like the difficulty
Speaker 1: of the moves or how cool they look, or do
Speaker 1: we have any idea?
Speaker 3: I guess we'll find out when we watch it.
Speaker 9: But I have no idea. I know I've been wondering
Speaker 9: about myself. I will be going tomorrow. It's happening tomorrow morning,
Speaker 9: so I'm gonna try and go and I will report back.
Speaker 3: Okay, good, you're on assignment for KFI. I love that.
Speaker 3: What else is that chapter? Today?
Speaker 1: So today?
Speaker 9: Yeah, the men's basketball is going to be the big one.

Speaker 9: the women's fifteen hundred semifinals, We've got the men's one
Speaker 9: hundred meter hurdles, women's four hundred meters hurdles, we've got
Speaker 9: the women's water polo semifinals, will be up against Australia.
Speaker 9: So yeah, but I think the big, the big focus
Speaker 9: will be track and field once again. And I will
Speaker 9: say we also did just learn who are flag bearers
Speaker 9: were going to be for the closing ceremony. They are
Speaker 9: Katie Lidecki and Nick Mead.
Speaker 3: Who's Nick Mead? Nick Mead? Nick me who's that?
Speaker 9: Nick Mead? Who is a rower?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Okay rower?
Speaker 9: He won the gold medal in the in the men's
Speaker 9: four awesome.
Speaker 1: Well, Katie definitely makes sense. But I'm Nick great. Maybe
Speaker 1: we'll find out who he is on closing ceremony night
Speaker 1: and and metal count before we go.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so we're still leading, very exciting. We are still
Speaker 9: leading in the gold medal tally. We now have twenty
Speaker 9: seven gold medals, still ahead of China with twenty five,
Speaker 9: and for its a total number of medals, we are
Speaker 9: at ninety four. I think you might actually be at
Speaker 9: ninety five next if we just want to broad.
Speaker 4: But yeah, we're doing great.
Speaker 9: We're still very much leading in that as well.
Speaker 3: Love it.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we'll send you out on your assignment and
Speaker 1: then we'll look forward to hearing from you tomorrow morning,
Speaker 1: same time, same place. Thank you so much, Inez.

Speaker 1: have to be shut off too. Having a baby in
Speaker 1: California costs more than most states in the US. A
Speaker 1: recent study from wallet hub says the hospital cost of
Speaker 1: conventional and C section deliveries are higher in California than
Speaker 1: in thirty other states. California ranked twenty seventh for family
Speaker 1: friendliness and twenty third for baby friendliness. How do you
Speaker 1: rank twenty third for baby friendliness?
Speaker 3: That's sad? At six oh five.
Speaker 1: It is handled on the news. Today is the one
Speaker 1: year anniversary of the fire on Maui that almost destroyed
Speaker 1: lahina I.
Speaker 3: Point fifty.
Speaker 1: What if you could talk to the animals, or at
Speaker 1: least maybe know what they're thinking. Well, ABC's Jim Ryan
Speaker 1: says Ai may be able to help us do just that.
Speaker 1: All right, how does this sound. It's a beautiful summer night.
Speaker 1: You're on a rooftop in downtown Los Angeles, sitting in
Speaker 1: an Adirondack chair with a lovely beverage, and you're about
Speaker 1: to watch a movie under the stars. We went out
Speaker 1: and about this week and caught up with the West
Speaker 1: Coast regional director of the Rooftop Cinema Club. It's Bradford Fullerton.
Speaker 1: Bradford tell us what is the Rooftop Cinema Club.
Speaker 11: Rooftop Cinema Club is a new approach to open air cinema.
Speaker 11: We are taking some of your favorite films and some
Speaker 11: new films that you've yet to discover and putting them
Speaker 11: in a beautiful location. Traditional movie houses are wonderful, but
Speaker 11: they're meant to be a sensory deprivation tank. We make
Speaker 11: the venue part of the experience. Our brand is social cinema,
Speaker 11: which means we want people to enjoy movies that they've
Speaker 11: had funds with their friends once before, maybe they come
Speaker 11: back and re experience it or share it with a
Speaker 11: family member who's visiting in town. To do that, we
Speaker 11: have these fancy headphones right here, okay, which allows me
Speaker 11: to hey, did you see that part? This is great
Speaker 11: without bothering the neighbors. And you can chitchat with your
Speaker 11: friends as need be without getting from the people next
Speaker 11: to you.
Speaker 3: Okay. So there's no big speakers here.
Speaker 1: You get the sound from the movie on the headphone.
Speaker 1: So it's like a silent disco, but it's a silent cinema.
Speaker 10: It is that.
Speaker 11: And we also do silent discos once a month.
Speaker 3: Oh okay. And you can get all the information about
Speaker 3: the Rooftop Cinema Club.
Speaker 11: Where rooftops inclub dot com. We're on all the major
Speaker 11: social media channels, has all of our programming coming up,
Speaker 11: both weekly, ongoing and special one offs that we do.
Speaker 1: Okay, And the doors open about an hour before. And
Speaker 1: one of the cool things about this is you have
Speaker 1: games set out because you said it's a social right,
Speaker 1: so that's what she said. Twisted party game I saw
Speaker 1: Cards against Humanity all right behind you. Oh yeah, you
Speaker 1: can play that with people you don't know, well exactly.
Speaker 3: It's a nasty fun game.
Speaker 1: Okay, So let's go over and take a look at
Speaker 1: your seats, because you know, it's different than a movie
Speaker 1: theater too, because in a movie theater you have little chairs,
Speaker 1: and here at the rooftop Cinema Club, we've got these
Speaker 1: great adirondecks.
Speaker 3: We have individual seats and we're gonna cozy up.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: There's also love seats, seats for two.
Speaker 3: And you can hang out here.
Speaker 1: And you have a beautiful big screen on the side
Speaker 1: of the building.
Speaker 3: We have a breeze blowing.
Speaker 1: People are coming in and as soon as it gets dark,
Speaker 1: the movie starts.
Speaker 11: The magic starts.
Speaker 3: All right, So what kind of movies are there? Do
Speaker 3: you play here at ropops?
Speaker 11: We do a variety right now, we're doing familiar recent
Speaker 11: classics like such as everything from Mean Girls, La La Land,
Speaker 11: Oh my God, La.
Speaker 1: La Land in Downtown La on the rooftop that would
Speaker 1: be so cool.
Speaker 11: Could not pick a perfect date? Every time I raise
Speaker 11: hands like who's on a date?
Speaker 12: Here?
Speaker 3: Like oh, you did well, you did well.
Speaker 11: This is going to go well for you yea lallaland
Speaker 11: White Chicks sells out pretty much every time we play it,
Speaker 11: and with good reason.
Speaker 4: It's great.
Speaker 11: So we do a little something for everything. We want
Speaker 11: to bring in dates, but we also want to bring
Speaker 11: in groups of friends and again families visiting in town
Speaker 11: looking for a fun thing to do with their college kids.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's so cool.
Speaker 1: And then along with the lovely seats and the sound.
Speaker 3: Experience, there's beverages and some food. What kind of food
Speaker 3: and beverages do we have?
Speaker 11: Yeah, we have a variety of refined ballpark snacks. We
Speaker 11: call it hot dogs, nachos, things like that. And our
Speaker 11: bar partner here, Hilo, serves a variety of delicious adult
Speaker 11: beverages as well.
Speaker 3: Okay, And when do you do the shows? It is
Speaker 3: it just for the summer?
Speaker 11: You do it now? We are year round actually now
Speaker 11: during the summer obviously, as soon as the sun goes
Speaker 11: down we are starting to play movies. But we've extended
Speaker 11: our season now where in the winter months we bring
Speaker 11: in these awesome heaters and we do a thing called
Speaker 11: fireside Cinema.
Speaker 4: So fun.
Speaker 11: You get this beautiful, warm heater and you get to
Speaker 11: cozy up under a blanket and watch a romantic movie
Speaker 11: like The Notebook while you're here with your special someone
Speaker 11: or just friends.
Speaker 1: Oh I am never watching The Notebook again. I would
Speaker 1: That's an ugly crime movie.
Speaker 4: I I understand.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I feel bad talking to the folks afterwards.
Speaker 3: I just get out the tissues. I'm like, It's okay, okay.
Speaker 1: And even on a summer night does get a little chilly,
Speaker 1: and you're.
Speaker 3: Prepared for that too.
Speaker 11: We do warn people please bring blankets, but if you forget,
Speaker 11: we do have very comfortable collectible keepsakes blankets just for
Speaker 11: fourteen dollars behind the box office.
Speaker 3: I love that. And again, where do we find information
Speaker 3: about this experience?
Speaker 11: Again, best chance, best sumption is gonna be Rooftop Cinema
Speaker 11: Club dot com. But again we're on ig all the
Speaker 11: regular social medias, but check it out. We have a
Speaker 11: full list of calendars and all of our special events

Speaker 1: I would love for you to go and check out
Speaker 1: my Instagram. I'm going to be posting the interviews so
Speaker 1: you can see what it looks.

Speaker 1: on our headphones and we sat in our Adirondack chairs
Speaker 1: and we get to watch Legally Blonde, So that was fun.
Speaker 1: And they have some newer run movies and then of
Speaker 1: course some classic movies and stuff. But fun for friends,

Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Governor Newsom says
Speaker 1: more Californians are making the switch to electric vehicles, exciting news.
Speaker 10: In California, we continue to outface the rest of the nation.
Speaker 4: We have no peers.
Speaker 1: We're doing that with clean cars, Plugin highbreds, electric vehicles
Speaker 1: as well as hydrogen vehicles. The stage just saw one
Speaker 1: of its best quarters for zero emission vehicle sales, with
Speaker 1: more than one hundred eighteen thousand sold. The governor says
Speaker 1: that's one in four car sales in the state. Newsom
Speaker 1: says his goal is to have all new cars sold
Speaker 1: in California be electric vehicles or evs by twenty thirty five.
Speaker 1: The California Attorney General's office has declined to file criminal
Speaker 1: charges against former La County Supervisor Sheila Cule for alleged
Speaker 1: political corruption. The AG's office yesterday cited a lack of evidence.
Speaker 1: Prosecutors also declined to file charges against Patty Giggins, who's
Speaker 1: the director of the nonprofit Peace Over Violence. Keule was
Speaker 1: accused of helping her or helping to steer a series
Speaker 1: of no bid Metro contracts to the nonprofit while she
Speaker 1: served on Metro's board of directors. The investigation started two
Speaker 1: years ago. The family of an eighteen year old fatally
Speaker 1: shot by an undercover LAPED officer in South La says
Speaker 1: he did nothing wrong.

Speaker 13: Ramirez mother says her son was visiting the area from
Speaker 13: northern California to see the beaches when he was shot.
Speaker 3: He didn't know where he was, He was just having
Speaker 3: a good time.
Speaker 13: She says her son was killed when he got out
Speaker 13: of a car to ask why he and his friends
Speaker 13: were being followed. Ramirez family alleges the undercover officer and
Speaker 13: an unmarked car made no indication he was in fact
Speaker 13: an officer. The LAPED said last month officer saw people
Speaker 13: in the car and sche masks, possibly in a dispute
Speaker 13: with another driver in on La Blake Trolly kf I News.
Speaker 1: The two NASA astronauts sent to the International Space Station
Speaker 1: aboard Boeing's star Liner may have to stay up there
Speaker 1: until next year. NASA says it is still possible that
Speaker 1: Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams can return aboard the Starliner
Speaker 1: next month, but the chances are growing that the two
Speaker 1: test pilots are going to have to catch a ride
Speaker 1: with SpaceX. That wouldn't happen until February of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Engineers have been trying to find a fix for leaks
Speaker 1: and thruster problems with the star Liner, and I think
Speaker 1: we mentioned this yesterday. You know, we've been talking to
Speaker 1: NASA astronaut Colonel Nick Haig. He's going up, or was
Speaker 1: supposed to go up on a mission later this month
Speaker 1: to the International Space Station for the next six months.
Speaker 3: We don't know what's going on with that now.
Speaker 1: Is that going to be delayed or are they still
Speaker 1: going to have astronauts coming and going. Not quite sure,
Speaker 1: but we were supposed to talk to Colonel Haig this morning.
Speaker 1: He had to reschedule, so hopefully we'll get him back
Speaker 1: on to tell us what's going on very very soon.
Speaker 1: Police have shot a man who was waving a gun
Speaker 1: around on a Metro station platform in Long Beach. Another
Speaker 1: man has been arrested and is facing attempted murder charges
Speaker 1: after he allegedly attacked a woman yesterday at a Metro

Speaker 1: several times, pushed her onto the tracks, and dragged her
Speaker 1: out onto the two ten freeway. Republican Vice presidential candidate JD.
Speaker 1: Vance has accused his Democratic VP opponent Tim Walls of
Speaker 1: abandoning his unit in the National Guard just before it
Speaker 1: was deployed to Iraq. Vance also accused Walls of falsely
Speaker 1: claiming that he carried an AR fifteen in war when
Speaker 1: he actually didn't see any combat. Walls served in the
Speaker 1: National Guard for twenty four years. Vance is a former
Speaker 1: Marine and served as a combat correspondent during the Iraq War.
Speaker 1: A European Climate agency says Earth's thirteen month streak of
Speaker 1: record global heat has come to an end. Temperatures in
Speaker 1: July were not higher than the previous record high months.
Speaker 1: The agency's temperatures are cooling down just.
Speaker 3: A little bit. As El Nino ebbs.
Speaker 1: Just minutes away from Handle on the news this morning,
Speaker 1: Costco is cracking down on non members trying to get
Speaker 1: those Costco membership benefits. You can bet Bill Handle's gonna
Speaker 1: have a little bit to say about that. But right now,
Speaker 1: let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan and Jim
Speaker 1: the big question is it was actually kind of posed
Speaker 1: and acted out by up.
Speaker 3: It's like, do you know what your dog is thinking?
Speaker 14: That is burn?
Speaker 13: You've never seen one up close, but this is burn.
Speaker 4: May I take your burd back to camp as my prisoner.
Speaker 1: I love Doug, so jim a, I may help us
Speaker 1: understand what our dogs are thinking.
Speaker 14: Yes, it's nothing at all like that movie, but yeah,
Speaker 14: but the movie's fun. Maybe, if not what the dogs
Speaker 14: thinking are saying at least how it's feeling. Oh okay,
Speaker 14: you've heard of way too back to maybe. It's a
Speaker 14: speech representation model and algorithm, right, and they've had this
Speaker 14: around for some time, and it can tell us things
Speaker 14: about people. You feed someone's voice into it. It can tell
Speaker 14: the gender, the race, the nationality, can tell all sorts
Speaker 14: of things. Of course, other voice recognition tools can be
Speaker 14: used to translate into other languages, etc. Right, I mean
Speaker 14: I had the phone app here I was in Japan
Speaker 14: a couple of years ago, was able to talk to
Speaker 14: the driver, tell jokes and he was able to talk
Speaker 14: back and had this sole conversation with the phone because
Speaker 14: of the voice recognition this algorithm. Somebody got the bright idea, Amy,
Speaker 14: They said, what if we put maybe just goofing around.
Speaker 14: It could have been after a couple of beers or something.
Speaker 14: Somebody said, let's put dog barks in here and see
Speaker 14: what happens, and it turned into a big research project.
Speaker 14: So the University of Michigan, working with a Mexican research institute,
Speaker 14: put dog barks into Way Too Vactu to see what
Speaker 14: we could learn about the dogs, and the algorithm came
Speaker 14: back about seventy percent accurate as to the dog's gender,
Speaker 14: the dog's breed, and the mood of the dog. How
Speaker 14: do we know that because the seventy four dogs that
Speaker 14: were tested were in different situations. So somebody bangs on
Speaker 14: a door and the dog's barking is recording, you know
Speaker 14: how dogs react to that. Or somebody comes and pretends
Speaker 14: to attack the owner. The dog responds to that aggressively.
Speaker 14: Where somebody walks in and starts scratching it behind the
Speaker 14: ears and telling a good boy, or playing with a ball,
Speaker 14: and happy, happy barking comes out of the dog. Well
Speaker 14: the Way Too Vectu. The algorithm was able to discern
Speaker 14: those various states of the dog's mind, the happiness or
Speaker 14: the sadness, the anger, the aggression, and parse it out
Speaker 14: that way in about seventy percent of the time.
Speaker 3: Okay, so here's my question, yeap, So what.
Speaker 14: What's it good for?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Well, first of all, it tells us about the capabilities
Speaker 14: of algorithms like this the AI speech recognition, and where
Speaker 14: it could go in the future. But it also, let's say,
Speaker 14: your puppy is, you know, moping around kind of whining
Speaker 14: and whimpering and barking and not feeling so good. You
Speaker 14: take the vet. Maybe fifteen years from now, your vet
Speaker 14: will have a microphone at a laptop there in the
Speaker 14: exam room. Dog barks or whimpers and he looks at
Speaker 14: the screen, he or she and it says, oh, Papa,
Speaker 14: you gotta tell me ache.
Speaker 3: Oh really?
Speaker 1: So that I mean, so that would be, that would be,
Speaker 1: that would be helpful because like I know that with
Speaker 1: my cat, I've had her in the vet a few times.
Speaker 1: She's having something like some allergy issues and we don't
Speaker 1: know what's causing it. We don't know is she having
Speaker 1: like anxiety so she's just like chewing and looking her
Speaker 1: fur or is she like does she have pain or
Speaker 1: is it itching or what's going on with her?
Speaker 3: And she can't tell us obviously.
Speaker 14: No no, certainly, not specifically, but you can tell something's
Speaker 14: wrong right in terms of the mewing and whatnot. And
Speaker 14: so this technology may tell us sometime in the future
Speaker 14: about the cat's state of mind. Won't tell specifically I've got,
Speaker 14: you know, something stuck in my throat or a thorn
Speaker 14: in my paw, but might at least tell us something's
Speaker 14: wrong and instead of misinterpreting that is just happy mouthing
Speaker 14: or purring.
Speaker 1: Okay, rescue cat, Well, I rescue because Jennifer Jonesley, who
Speaker 1: used to host the show, she left and she couldn't
Speaker 1: take the cat, and so it's she rehomed to me,
Speaker 1: which I love.
Speaker 3: Shelby's wonderful. Okay. Have they tried it on cats?
Speaker 14: Don't think so? Okay, and you expect that's next.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Have you heard if maybe they're working with like higher
Speaker 1: intelligence animals like dolphins, gorillas.
Speaker 3: That kind of thing.
Speaker 14: Yep, Yeah, that may be the way that they go
Speaker 14: with this. They'll try to figure out those creatures. Those
Speaker 14: sea mammals seem to have pretty high intelligence, and their
Speaker 14: communication may be more than just I'm not feeling well
Speaker 14: or somebody's at the door. They may be communicating with
Speaker 14: each other and we could be able to discern that somehow,
Speaker 14: someday maybe.
Speaker 3: We're on the verge of the planet of the apes too.
Speaker 3: Don't say that, you never know, Jim, You never know.
Speaker 14: Get your paws off me, you damn dirty ape squirrel.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll talk to you soon, Jim. Thank you
Speaker 3: so much.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Austria's Interior minister
Speaker 1: says a tragedy has been prevented with the arrests of
Speaker 1: two young men allegedly plotting a terror attack at a
Speaker 1: Taylor's Swift concert in Vienna. Three sold out shows this
Speaker 1: week were canceled yesterday because of the threat. ABC's Maggie
Speaker 1: Ruley says European investigators got a tip from American intelligence
Speaker 1: who detected suspicious activity last month.
Speaker 15: Our team posted a statement saying, with confirmation from government
Speaker 15: officials of a planned terrorist attack, we have no choice
Speaker 15: but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone's safety now.
Speaker 15: This decision came down just hours after officials say they
Speaker 15: arrested two suspects.
Speaker 1: Austrian security officials say the nineteen and seventeen year olds
Speaker 1: arrested plan to use knives and homemade explosives to attack
Speaker 1: people out side the concert venue. One official says a
Speaker 1: seventeen year old started working at the stadium a few
Speaker 1: days ago. Americans are racking a debt at a record pace.
Speaker 1: Wallet hub says total household debt has now reached over
Speaker 1: seventeen trillion dollars. The debt is mostly being driven by
Speaker 1: soaring costs for food, housing, and auto loans. Wallet Hub
Speaker 1: says Boston, North Las Vegas, and Madison, Wisconsin are the
Speaker 1: cities where Americans are adding the most debt. The Tournament
Speaker 1: of Roses in Pasadena has expanded its pool for Rose
