Chatsworth resident Bruce Breslaw says his rate has 74 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.280 gone way up in the current proposal is not a 75 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:01.759 good deal. 76 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.680 We need a law bringing these regulated insurers back into 77 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.719 our marketplace for premiums that are reasonable. 78 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.599 Breslau joined Consumer watch Dog outside La City Hall yesterday 79 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.360 as State Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara hosted a virtual public 80 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.560 forum inside in downtown La. 81 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.480 Michael Monks KFI News, the. 82 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.680 Home insurance isn't the only tough one car insurance. I 83 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.839 just paid mine. It was up like twenty percent from 84 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:31.000 the last six month insurance policy. The Federal Reserve is 85 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.959 expected to issue its first rate cut since March of 86 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.920 twenty twenty. ABC's Elizabeth Shulsey says, an interest rate cut, 87 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.879 we'll make taking out a loan cheaper for businesses and consumers. 88 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.199 What this really symbolizes is the beginning of a series 89 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.319 of interest rate cuts. So over the next year two years, 90 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.079 the fat is going to bring rates back down. 91 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.240 The federal funds rate currently stands between five and a 92 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:57.920 quarter and five and a half percent. 93 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:06.920 Small You need somebody there. 94 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.079 The singer and songwriter who co wrote hits like Best 95 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.959 of My Love, New Kid in Town, and Smoke Gets 96 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:18.240 in Your Eyes and also helped define the southern California 97 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:23.800 Country Rocks in the mid nineteen seventies has died.

Let's 100 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:37.000 say good morning now to ABC's Geor Donna Miller in Jerusalem. 101 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:43.120 George Donna, hundreds of pagers simultaneously exploded in Lebanon in 102 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.000 Syria yesterday. 103 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.319 It sounds like something out of a James Bond movie. 104 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:47.519 So tell us what happened? 105 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:55.439 Absolutely. It has just stunned Hasbola and the Lebanese people. 106 00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:01.600 Israel has not claimed this attack that potentially targeted the 107 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:06.319 pagers of Husbala members and simultaneously sent a message that 108 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.199 detonated these pagers, turning them into little bombs that you know, 109 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:18.399 caused serious damage injuries to thousands of Elebenies and in 110 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:22.759 some cases killed. Twelve are dead. Most of those are 111 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:28.120 Husbala members supporters, but there are dozens of civilians that 112 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.360 were injured and at least two children that were killed. 113 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.000 Israel not claiming this attack, as we've said, but sources 114 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:40.160 telling you DC News Israel was behind this strike. And 115 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.160 one of the most fascinating parts of the story is 116 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:50.680 when exactly with Israel able to implant these explodes, these 117 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:56.680 explosives inside individual beepers, three more than three thousand of 118 00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:01.439 them that were then distributed to Hasbala fighters. It took 119 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:06.279 a lot of obviously intel informants. It was a large 120 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.199 operation in front mole um understands six months of. 121 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.839 Planning, six months of planning, and it's three thousand pagers 122 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:18.240 and so why do they have pagers and not phones? Right? 123 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:22.800 That's an important point. Hasbolla at the beginning of this war, 124 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:28.399 Hsbula's leader, Hasan no Thrala told his numbers of the 125 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.079 of the Iranian backed militia to get rid of their 126 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.560 cell phones because they are so vulnerable to really surveillance. Right, 127 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.360 there's locators, they can try to hack the phones and 128 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:43.399 get data and learn about Husbala's plans. And so a 129 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.920 kind of alternative communications system just for the terror group 130 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:53.560 was initiated, and it was through pagers, very rudimentary, right, 131 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.879 only SMS, and it's in a closed network if you will, 132 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:04.160 and you know, and and Israel somehow managed obviously to 133 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:09.399 penetrate that system and find out the type of pages 134 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.399 that were being used when there were going to be 135 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.399 an updated version coming through, and they either were the 136 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:21.920 front company that manufactured these beepers or they intercepted the 137 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:26.040 supply chain and again somehow put in small amounts of 138 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.199 very very potent explosives and then they detonated them. It 139 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.159 appears through a message that was sent at the same 140 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:35.799 time to all of these pagers. 141 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:36.960 Amazing. 142 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.279 It's sort of like that the bombing in Tehran that 143 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.720 took out that one the leader, the militant leader that 144 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.120 it had been planned for such a long time, and 145 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.639 it was like they were lying in wait, just waiting 146 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.240 for the perfect moment to execute it. 147 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.919 So you're speaking of the right, the explosion that killed 148 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.840 if Mohania, thehead of Hamas. Yeah, in one of the 149 00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:01.679 one of the guest residences of the regime when you visiting. Absolutely, 150 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.440 that was an operation that you know, again Israel has 151 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.080 not claimed it, but we know that Israel was behind it, 152 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:14.240 and they were able to find out that the explosive 153 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.919 had been brought into that residence months before, but they 154 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.279 were able to find out where exactly he was sleeping 155 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.360 and apparently move it around and then detonate it remotely. 156 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.840 Yeah, amazing. So thank you so much, Jordanna for the information. 157 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.759 You're welcome. I was just going to say that Hazbola 158 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.000 has vowed to retaliate very strongly, and now in Israel 159 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.159 we're again in a kind of waiting game to see 160 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:40.039 what's next. 161 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.720 And we will be watching. Thanks so much, Jordana, appreciate 162 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.519 the information.

It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro. 252 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.559 Morning Rich, Hey, good morning shoe Amy. 253 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:30.200 Okay, so I just. 254 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.120 Sent you this note last night late because I was 255 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.320 hunting around for something that I'm looking for for a 256 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.240 Christmas present, and I was like, is this the best 257 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:40.639 price that I'm going to get? Because I'm doing my 258 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.320 planning for shopping now even though Christmas was three months away, 259 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:45.480 and I thought, wouldn't it be cool if there was 260 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.440 a way that I could know when these things go 261 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.679 on sale so you could buy them and you know, 262 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.159 save a couple hundred bucks. 263 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:55.720 Yeah, so there is some places, Yes, well there's there's 264 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:56.039 a couple. 265 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:57.759 It's not as good as it used to be because 266 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:01.039 you know, prices are so dynamic nowadays that it's tough 267 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:02.840 to track them all. But the thing that I use, 268 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.200 I like the most is called PayPal Honey drop List. 269 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:11.000 So drop list is basically Honey is like a yead. 270 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.279 It's your chrome or your browser. It's an extension and 271 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:16.480 it helps you, you know, pops up and it tells you, hey, 272 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:19.399 this price might be better or whatever saves you money. Puts 273 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.039 coupon codes in there. But the Ney thing is you 274 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.600 can anything that you add to your Amazon shopping list 275 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.840 or anything from a variety of websites. It will track 276 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:31.600 the prices on those items and it will alert you 277 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.120 when they drop. And so I get one of these 278 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.039 like emails every day because I have so many things 279 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:40.480 in my Amazon save the list. But yeah, it's great, 280 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:42.519 and so that's the one I use the most. Called again, 281 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.240 it's called Honey, and it's called drop list. So when 282 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.519 you install the extension, you have to like agree to 283 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:50.960 this little drop list thing, but it's pretty good. The 284 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.759 other one that's good if you're just tracking Amazon stuff 285 00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.679 is Camel Camel Camel. You can put a URL of 286 00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.399 an Amazon item in there and then you can say, 287 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:02.879 you know, send me an alert when this price drops 288 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.679 or if it price drops by one hundred dollars or 289 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.320 ten percent or whatever. And then finally, the other one 290 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:12.519 is Google Shopping. It's not as fully functional because a 291 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.200 lot of this is like pay for play, it's like 292 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.840 sponsored stuff, but you can you can find a lot 293 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.399 of pricing information in there as well, and I like 294 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.759 how they highlight stuff that's actually on sale and like 295 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:24.840 various categories like with big discounts. 296 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:26.840 Okay, well, I think I think that's going to be 297 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.480 good for a lot of wake up call listeners because again, 298 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:32.159 we're going to be spending money and holidays are just 299 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:33.840 around the corner. So talking to a friend yesterday and 300 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.960 she said, holy, holy crap, it's almost October, so you 301 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:38.600 know if they're going to be here before you know it, 302 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:40.879 and maybe time to start looking at how you can 303 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:42.000 save now. 304 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:44.440 The other one, by the way, Yahoo's Shopping. They have 305 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.279 a price tracker as well. I know Yahoo is a 306 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.279 brand of Yesteryear, but they still do have some decent products, 307 00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:54.360 and the price tracker inside Yacht Who's Shopping is a 308 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:55.960 decent way to do it as well. I don't personally 309 00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.720 use it, but I know that I've talked to experts 310 00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:59.200 shopping experts that do like it. 311 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:00.759 Okay, cool, Thank you so much. 312 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:07.319 Okay, you tried snapchats new augmented reality glasses is this 313 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:08.319 kind of is this. 314 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:12.440 It all like Apple Vision or or what is? What 315 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:12.880 are these? 316 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.839 Somewhat? So they made a lot of fun of Apple. 317 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.720 Yesterday they had their uh, Snap had their big partner 318 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.319 summit yesterday in Santa Monica, So it was there all day, 319 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:23.759 and you know, it's where they brag a lot about 320 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:25.880 how many people use Snapchat and how they're using it 321 00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.119 and all this stuff. But they knocked Apple a lot, 322 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.319 which I find really interesting because I'm sure the iPhone 323 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.920 user base is like their biggest in sall, so they 324 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.039 got to be very careful here. But they made a 325 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.319 lot of fun of the fact that Apple Vision pro 326 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.559 is so big and bulky and expensive and it clouds 327 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:44.880 out your world. Like their whole thing is, let's connect 328 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.839 in the real world, right right. So these new snap spectacles, 329 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.319 this is actually their fifth generation. They look like sunglasses 330 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.039 but big and bulky, kind of like street glasses kind of, yeah, 331 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:57.640 except even bigger and bulkier. 332 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.599 So just imagine like with big like big side. It's big. 333 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:05.119 Everything rims, everything is just big, the frames, but that's 334 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:08.200 because there are tiny little screens inside the lenses and 335 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.200 a battery and cameras, and so when you put these 336 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.200 things on, you're actually seeing an augmented reality view of 337 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:16.680 the world. And so you can overlay, like you look 338 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.039 at your hands and the menu pops up, you can 339 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.160 throw things, you can I mean, I did this really 340 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:24.039 cool art installation yesterday where you know, you look at 341 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:26.240 this world spinning in front of you, and then you 342 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:28.880 kind of reach out and pinch and like push the 343 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:29.960 asteroids away. 344 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.279 I mean it was really really cool. 345 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:36.039 Okay, but it's a very basic kind of technology right now, 346 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.319 and it's not for everyone. It's just for developers to 347 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.440 come up with apps. But it seems like it's got 348 00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:42.039 a lot of potential and you can see the world 349 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:43.920 around you. I think that's what the big thing here is. 350 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:47.000 Like I played basketball yesterday. Sadly I didn't make in 351 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.319 any of my shots, which was really sad on camera, 352 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:52.720 but but nobody did in my group, so I didn't 353 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.759 feel so bad. But yeah, So the whole idea is 354 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:58.519 that you can augment reality on top of your world. 355 00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:02.400 Okay, so are those available? Are they still always out? 356 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.759 No, they're available now. Developers can get them ninety nine 357 00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:07.960 dollars a month. You have to minimum a year, so 358 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.079 they're actually you're kind of like actually renting. 359 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:12.880 Them so for a year. 360 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.680 Yeah, so they really want people to come up with 361 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.359 like applications for these so it's not really about like 362 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:20.640 the average person just yet. 363 00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:21.599 Okaybe next year. 364 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:25.319 Okay, tell us about the Instagram changes because it was 365 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:29.160 a big thing yesterday when they announced, oh, teen accounts 366 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:30.240 are being changed. 367 00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:33.079 Yeah, this is actually quite a big deal. 368 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.960 I think this is actually a great move by Instagram 369 00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.480 because you know, there's so many teens that are dealing 370 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:42.880 with you know, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, low self esteem, cyberbullying, 371 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:47.119 addiction to these apps, just general distraction if they're not addicted. 372 00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:52.240 But anyway, so starting yesterday, teens under sixteen, by default, 373 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:54.880 their accounts will be private. They'll only be able to 374 00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:59.160 message folks or people that they follow. Instagram will limit 375 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.799 sensitive content by default, so no videos of fights or 376 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:06.559 cosmetic procedures. You can't be tagged by anyone unless they're 377 00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:10.720 your follower. AI will detect and hide like bullying comments, 378 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.599 any harmful comments. You'll get a reminder to stop using 379 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.279 the app after sixty minutes, and at night it will 380 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:19.480 go into sleep mode from ten pm to seven am, 381 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.119 so you don't get notifications and then parents have to 382 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:24.559 approve changes. And I know what you're gonna ask, Amy, Well, 383 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:27.799 can't kids just lie about their age? Instagram has a 384 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:30.440 whole bunch of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 385 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.079 eight ways that they are going to try to verify 386 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.400 kids' ages, including using AI, so they're ahead of it. 387 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:38.319 They know who we are. 388 00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:41.839 Oh yeah, they know they're not They're not stupid. And 389 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.039 believe me, kids have been lying about their age on 390 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.240 Instagram forever. Instagram knew that. It's just they didn't care, 391 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.279 and now they're caring more, which I do think is 392 00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:50.160 a good a good thing. 393 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:52.480 So, Richie, here's my question about that. 394 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:55.359 Did the didn't they do it on their own or 395 00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:59.160 did they do it preemptively because somebody's gonna stop some 396 00:20:59.240 --> 00:20:59.920 regulations on it? 397 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.519 Well, you're talking about the US government, which you know, 398 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:06.279 have we seen any major regulations against tech companies ever? 399 00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:07.519 Not really, So. 400 00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.079 This is probably preemptive because they don't want regulations from 401 00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.880
