So happy you're starting your 8 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.920 day with us. I've got my coffee. I think I 9 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.479 might need an extra dose. Our producer and needs extra 10 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.920 extra coffee. Was up all night with her sick puppy. 11 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.200 I hate when that happens too. You like plan for 12 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.000 a good night's sleep and then something funky happens and 13 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.920 you're like, okay, well sleep's not happening, sort of like 14 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:55.280 the earthquake on Monday. I just went laid down having 15 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.240 a nice nap and then boom. 16 00:00:58.640 --> 00:00:59.200 But that's okay. 17 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.399 We adjust, right, It's all good and it's going to 18 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.400 be a great day, and we're happy that you're here. 19 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.640 So let's get started. Here's what's ahead on wake up call. 20 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.159 Speaking of earthquakes, this year is the most seismically active 21 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:16.599 year in Sokeal since nineteen ninety eight. Cal Tech seismologist 22 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:20.400 Lucy Jones says we've had thirteen four point zero magnitude 23 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.719 or larger quakes, including the four point four that rumbled 24 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.920 near Highland Park and Pasadena. The quake was along the 25 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.640 Puente Hills thrust fault system, which Jones says has the 26 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.959 potential to cause major damage. US officials are on high 27 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.920 alert for a potential Iranian attack on Israel. Iran has 28 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.799 refused to back down on its promise to retaliate for 29 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.879 the death of a Hamas leader in Tehran. Efforts to 30 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.719 reach a ceasefire and Gaza are intensifying as formal negotiations 31 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.480 are expected to resume this week. We're going to be 32 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.159 getting the latest from the Middle East with ABC's Jeordana 33 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.879 Miller in less than five minutes. A federal judge has 34 00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:01.599 ordered UCLA to ensure equal campus access to its Jewish students. 35 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.640 The ruling yesterday comes after three Jewish students sued the 36 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.719 school in June, claiming it enabled pro Palestinian protesters to 37 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.840 block them from certain parts of campus. The lawsuit said 38 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.680 UCLA helped enforce a jew exclusion zone. 39 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.680 We're going to be talking tech with the host of 40 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.520 Rich on Tech a little bit later this morning. 41 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.919 Rich Dumuroes up in Mountain View for the unveiling of 42 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.800 Google's new tech, which means more AI at the tip 43 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.159 of your fingers. That's at five point twenty, and then 44 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.759 Amy's on it. I'm getting spaced out. I'll let you 45 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.039 know if I think you should too, that's coming up 46 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:35.879 at the bottom of the hour. And then if you 47 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.000 don't think that there's anything you can learn from your cats, well, 48 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.080 a professor at Washington University in Saint Louis, a pretty 49 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.560 prestigious university, would beg to differ. We'll find out more 50 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.240 about the science of cats coming up before the top 51 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.319 of the hour. Can't wait to talk to him. At 52 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.599 six oh five, it's handle on the news. President Biden 53 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.000 has awarded one hundred and fifty million dollars to fight cancer. 54 00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.199 It's part of his Moonshot program. Let's get started with 55 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.520 some of the stories out of the KFI twenty four 56 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.080 hour newsroom. A gun registered to an infamous cop killer 57 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.879 has allegedly been used by two men from South America 58 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:09.960 who were charged with robbing a man of a million 59 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.280 dollar watch in Beverly Hills. 60 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.479 The gun was registered to Christopher Dorner. 61 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.120 We are still investigating how the gun came into their possession. 62 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.599 Assistant US attorney Jenna mac cabe tells KTLA they're also 63 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.840 trying to figure out how long the men have been 64 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:24.879 in the US and what are the robberies they may 65 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.919 have carried out. Last week, a man was having lunch 66 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.639 with his wife and daughters at the Beverly Wilshire when 67 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.360 his watch was taken at gunpoint. Officials say that gun 68 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.599 belonging to Dorner was found Saturday during a raid at 69 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:41.120 an Airbnb where the alleged robbers were staying. Dorner killed 70 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:45.120 four people in twenty thirteen, including two police officers. He 71 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.479 died during a standoff with police in Big Bear. Nine 72 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.400 people have been arrested after pro Palestinian protesters blocked traffic 73 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.240 on the southbound four H five in West La demanding 74 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:57.520 a cease firing Gaza. 75 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.439 Some of the protesters identify the Jews and near the 76 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.240 Venice Boulevard off ramp with megaphones, causing gridlock in both directions. 77 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:07.719 This Jewish protester says there's a genocide happening in Gaza 78 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.680 and they needed to get the Democrats attention. 79 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.599 Unfortunately, it takes disruptions to sometimes get people to remember 80 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.720 what's happening, especially when that is happening overseas. 81 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.519 Protesters are calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to end 82 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.720 all support for Israel, including supplying the country with weapons. 83 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.639 CHP says those arrested yesterday morning will likely face misdemeanor 84 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.879 charges once the city attorney takes over. Chris Sadler k 85 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:31.720 i I News. 86 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.720 Vice President Harris's running mate, Governor Tim Wallas, has made 87 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.439 his first solo campaign appearance since being named to the 88 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:41.480 Democratic ticket. Well spoke to a union convention in la yesterday, 89 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.839 saying his Republican opponents are not looking out for union workers. 90 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.439 The only thing those two guys knows about working people 91 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:49.560 is how to work to take advantage of them. 92 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:50.879 That's what they know about it. 93 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.480 Well, so the convention. When unions are strong, America is strong. 94 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.759 Time to say good morning to ABC's Geordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, 95 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.680 with the situation kind of near a boiling point in 96 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.439 the Middle East, Iran is showing no signs of backing 97 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.959 off its threat to attack Israel in retaliation for the 98 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:11.720 killing of a Hamas political leader in Tehran. 99 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:13.800 Can you give as the latest on this situation? 100 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:16.399 Absolutely. 101 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:17.120 It's true. 102 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:22.839 The Iranians continue to threaten that they will strike Israel directly, 103 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:27.319 and we're just not sure if it'll come, you know, alone, 104 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.800 or with Habalah, one of their proxies, who also has 105 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.079 a settle a score to settle with Israel, after Israel 106 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.439 claimed the assassination of a top Hasbala commander two weeks 107 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:43.480 ago in Beirut, just hours before the killing of the 108 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:48.600 Hamas leader on Iranian soil in Tehran. But there is 109 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.240 a little glimmer of hope here, and that is that 110 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.360 Iran has not struck yet. And we're now it's now Wednesday, 111 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.959 were on the eve a very important Gazza seatfire talks 112 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.000 that are going to happen tomorrow in Doha, led by 113 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.959 the United States by CIA chief Bill Burns, and that 114 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:13.759 appears to have put a Ran and has Balah on pause, 115 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:18.759 their plans to strike on pause. It looks like they 116 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.439 both want to see what happens if there's progress made. Remember, 117 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.199 Hasbala has said in the past that as soon as 118 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.839 there is a Gaza seatfire, it will stop firing on 119 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:34.600 northern Israel. That won't solve all the problems between Israel 120 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:40.800 and Husbala, but it will help obviously bring down the 121 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.480 tensions and the violence and may rein in even Hsbala's 122 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:51.120 reprisal strike. So those talks happening tomorrow. The Israelis, the Americans, 123 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:56.199 the Egyptians, and the Qataris are showing up. Hamas has 124 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.480 given mixed messages about whether it will send a representative 125 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.319 or not. But I want to underscore that progress can 126 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:07.360 still be made in Doha without Hamas at the table 127 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:12.560 because Egypt and Cutter are representing. They are mediators for 128 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.680 Hamas and they can pass to Hamas bridging proposals or 129 00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:23.240 creative solutions for Hamas to weigh in on, you know, 130 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.879 at a later time. So there's still it's still an 131 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.399 important meeting tomorrow, and if progress can be made, that 132 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:36.480 will you know, really lower the risk here of a 133 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.480 major significance strike from Iran Hsbalah, that could, you know, 134 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.399 and that will minimize the risk of also you know, 135 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:49.000 igniting a regional war. So a lot the stakes are 136 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:49.879 high tomorrow. 137 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.600 And you mentioned Jordana that you know, we've gone for 138 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.639 a couple of weeks and Iran hasn't struck, and so 139 00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.160 that could be a good sign. 140 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:00.920 Our people getting. 141 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:04.800 More anxious and worried as each day goes by, or 142 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:09.480 are they maybe starting to really feel like maybe an 143 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:10.680 attack isn't imminent. 144 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.360 I have to be honest, it's a roller coaster, and 145 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:21.360 you know, all Israelis are on it, and there can 146 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.879 be a day or two where everyone is quite anxious 147 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:29.680 and you know, getting there, you know, making sure everything's 148 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:34.000 in place in their safe rooms or bomb shelters when 149 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:38.879 you know we're told to go there. And then there 150 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.720 are days when it feels like today where okay, we can, 151 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:47.240 we can you know, relax a little bit because it's 152 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.759 almost certain nothing will happen in the next forty eight hours. 153 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.480 And for those forty eight hours, you know, we can 154 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.919 forget about this imminent strike. 155 00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:58.320 You know. 156 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:00.840 The danger, of course, is that if there is not 157 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.679 progress made in Doha. It's crazy to say, but true, 158 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.480 that by the weekend it could be back in a 159 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.080 situation where we feel like, you know, there's a looming 160 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.720 strike and we're all on you know, on hold, waiting 161 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.840 for instructions to go into skit rooms or bomb shelters. 162 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:23.559 And entered into the US has really increased its presence 163 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:27.360 in the Middle East. Lots of ships and carriers and 164 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.360 jets and that kind of stuff heading up to that area. 165 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.679 Is that having or do people in Israel feel like 166 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.039 that's having an effect on Maybe that why Iran's kind 167 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:41.120 of put its plans on pause, or at least maybe 168 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.480 hasn't paused them, but isn't doing anything right now. 169 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.000 I do think that Israeli. First all, they're comforted and 170 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:53.120 reassured by the fact that the American President, President Biden, 171 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:58.799 has been so faithful in word and deed. Aside from 172 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:04.279 you know, one dispute over munitions delivery. You know, there 173 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:10.720 are several significant military assets in the region. The USS 174 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.519 Abraham Lincoln, you know, is going to get here faster 175 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.799 than expected. President Biden and the Pentagon announced that, you know, 176 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.840 a missile guided submarine is in the region. The location 177 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:27.440 is usually top secret. So these are efforts by President 178 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:31.360 Biden to both deter Iran and Husbola, which appear to 179 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:36.080 have worked to some extent, and messages that the United 180 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.960 States will help defend Israel. It's in the end, Aaron 181 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.879 launches a major aerial attack like it did back in April. 182 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.120 Okay, all right, so for now, we've got talks coming tomorrow. 183 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:49.879 Is it tomorrow that they are happening. 184 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.519 That's right, Okay, that's right tomorrow in. 185 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.919 Cutter okay, and we'll be watching and hope for the best. 186 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.879 Thank you so much, Jordana Miller. Appreciate your input and 187 00:10:58.879 --> 00:10:59.960 your insight as Ahoway. 188 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.440 Yes, thanks so much. Tuckson. 189 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.679 All right, let's get back to some of the stories 190 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:06.960 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Fewer 191 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:12.279 kindergarteners are getting vaccinated, according to the CDC, AAMC Research 192 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:17.200 and Action Institute Executive director doctor Atoole Grover says a 193 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.840 two percent drop may not seem like a lot, but 194 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.679 that is three quarters of a million children who are 195 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.960 at increased risk of getting things like measles. 196 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.279 Now, measles we thought we had eradicated twenty four years ago, 197 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:31.879 but now in the last couple of years, we've seen 198 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.159 pockets spring up, largely in areas where there are more 199 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.360 than a handful of unvaccinated people. 200 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.000 Children born during the pandemic are slightly behind on their vaccinations. 201 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.559 Children attending public schools in California must have vaccines for polio, 202 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:49.600 hepatitis B, measles, MOMPS, rebella, chicken pox, and DETAP, which 203 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:54.120 is diphtheria, tetanus and protessis before they go to kindergarten. 204 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:57.559 A new booster for COVID nineteen is expected by the 205 00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.919 end of August or early September. Thirty eight year old 206 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.240 cold case has been solved by investigators with the La 207 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:05.440 County Sheriff's Department. 208 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.720 The unrelated death of a man in twenty nineteen got 209 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.919 the ball rolling. February twenty first, nineteen eighty six, nineteen 210 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:12.559 year old Kathy Small took off with the guy in 211 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.120 Murietta wasn't seen again until the next day. In February 212 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.200 twenty second, at about seven o'clock in the morning, South 213 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.720 Pasadena Police Department received a call for service of a 214 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.279 woman lying in the street. Lieutenant Patty Thomas says the 215 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.399 case went cold, but that dead man found in South 216 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.639 Pasadena would lead investigators to seventy year old Williamstuff, who's 217 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.039 already serving a life sentence for the murders of twelve 218 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.919 people in the eighties and nineties. At Sheriff's Headquarter, Steve 219 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:35.840 Gregor king, if. 220 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.080 I knows tropical Storm Ernesto is moving along the Outer Caribbean, 221 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.360 Meteorologist Melissa Griffin says, it's building up as it moves 222 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.840 through the islands. We have a hurricane watch and effect 223 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.879 for the US and British Virgin Islands at a tropical 224 00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.720 storm morning is an effect for Puerto Rico. Ernesto could 225 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.759 hit Bermuda this weekend as a Category two or even 226 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:58.000 Category three storm. The US East Coast could feel Ernesto's 227 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:02.840 impax's high surf and strong rip currents to early next week. 228 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.159 And doctor Dre and Jimmy Iovine have teamed up to 229 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.440 open a high school in the city of Inglewood. The 230 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:10.679 district has been forced to close schools in the area 231 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.279 because of a lack of funding, so Dre and Iovene 232 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:17.480 say the school's interdisciplinary curriculum will train students to be 233 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:22.360 innovative and entrepreneurial young leaders. They also say that they 234 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.039 will be investing in state of the art technology for 235 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.960 the new school. It should be opened by next summer 236 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.960 on the campus of Krozier Middle School, which is scheduled 237 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.000 to close at about the same time. Six neighborhoods in 238 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.639 la will be receiving a total of five point four 239 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:40.799 million dollars to improve their communities under a pilot program 240 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.879 that gives residents the chance to help pick which projects 241 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:47.159 will be done. Residents submitted more than a thousand ideas 242 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:51.200 to improve our lead a Pacoima, Wilmington, Harbor City, skid Row, 243 00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:55.519 South Los Angeles, Baldwin Village, and Westlake. Governor Newsom has 244 00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.639 announced the seizure of more than two million illegal cannabis 245 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:02.960 packages marked with the US Universal symbol of legal cannabis 246 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.879 in California. His office announced yesterday that much of the 247 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.720 packaging resembled popular food and candy brands that could appeal 248 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:12.559 to kids, like Twinkies and Sweet Tarts. Officials say the 249 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:15.360 sting operation was done recently in the La Toy District. 250 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.600 Two great tastes, but will they taste great together? We're 251 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:23.320 not talking about Reese's Peanut buttercups, but Oreo and Coca Cola. 252 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:28.600 The companies have announced Oreo Coca Cola cookies with a 253 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:32.519 coke inspired design and taste, along with red edible glitter. 254 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.840 And then there's also a Coca Cola Oreo Zero sugar 255 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:41.039 soda that tastes like classic coke with hints of Oreo. 256 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.480 There's also going to be a frozen version of it 257 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:47.159 available at seven eleven and McDonald's if it was April first, 258 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:48.639 I was thinking I would be thinking it was an 259 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:51.000 April first joke, but I might have to try. That's 260 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.600 just weird enough, might be good. At six oh five, 261 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:55.559 it's Handle on the news. Does it feel like there 262 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.279 have been a lot of earthquakes this year? Well, that's 263 00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.799 because there have been and more are likely on the way. 264 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.000 All right, now, let's say good morning to the host 265 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:05.159 of Rich on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter 266 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.279 Rich Demiro. Rich is calling in this morning from Mountain 267 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.559 View because there's a big Google event today. 268 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.519 Hey, good morning to you. Amy. Well, actually today's the 269 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:19.159 cleanup day for the Google event. They did announce everything yesterday, 270 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.360 so I do have details on all the new Pixel 271 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.120 phones which they did launch. Let's see one, two, three, 272 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:29.639 four new models. And the interesting thing here, Amy, we've 273 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.600 talked about phones for so many years. This was the 274 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:36.080 first time that the hardware took a backseat to the 275 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:40.840 software because Google is all about AI with these new phones. So, yeah, 276 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:43.360 the camera is better, they're more durable, they might charge 277 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.000 a little faster. The cameras are a little better, but 278 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.480 it's all about what you can do on these devices 279 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.360 with AI, and that's really what they focused on. A 280 00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:54.559 new weather app that gives you, like AI generated weather reports, 281 00:15:55.679 --> 00:16:00.360 better panoramic pictures, remember those thanks to AI bill to 282 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:02.720 edit your photos. I mean the way that they showed 283 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:06.159 people editing pictures on their smartphone. I'm telling you we 284 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:11.080 can no longer believe anything. These phones also record your 285 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.759 phone calls and give you notes when you're done. So 286 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.440 the idea is, if you're driving, the plumber calls you says, 287 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:18.840 you know, here's the order number whatever, you don't have 288 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.559 to take notes anymore. It will send you that afterwards. 289 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.240 And if you ever get stuck or stranded, they now 290 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.720 have satellite sos, so you can text for emergency help 291 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:30.960 even if you don't have cellular service, something that Apple 292 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:34.279 introduced with the iPhone fourteen. Samsung is still the last 293 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:35.440 holdout on that feature. 294 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.159 Okay, but I want to go back to the recording 295 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.559 the phone calls thing, because I think that that sounds 296 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.639 like a really great thing. Like if you call your 297 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:45.720 doctor and then you're like, what did the doctor tell 298 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.240 me and all that and you don't remember it, I 299 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.159 think that's that's going to be super helpful. But it 300 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:53.200 also is concerning because they're recording your phone calls. 301 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.919 Yes, but we have to understand, just like with the 302 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.159 oreos you mentioned, in the future, there's going to be 303 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:04.079 an Oreo flavor of everything. In the future, AI will 304 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:08.039 be taking over everything and people will be wearing tendons 305 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.160 that record their entire lives. Everything on their phone will 306 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.480 be summarized. And so Google did take precautions to say 307 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.680 that this is all happening on your device and so 308 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.240 nothing is sent to the cloud whatsoever. And I think 309 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:24.599 that also you have to activate it. It will tell 310 00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.640 both parties, Hey, this call is being recorded for call 311 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:31.440 notes through Google. And I cannot wait for this feature 312 00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:34.880 because I will find it very helpful. Incidentally, Apple is 313 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.480 doing the same exact thing. So again when we see 314 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.319 two major companies doing something similar, we know that it's 315 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:43.400 a trend and we just have to, you know, roll 316 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:43.640 with it. 317 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:46.519 I guess, yeah, well, and like I have the memory 318 00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:48.000 of a nat so I think that it could be 319 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.400 very useful to me to remember. 320 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.079 I can't wait for this. I can't. It's going to 321 00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:55.440 be so useful for all the times when my wife 322 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:57.319 tells me to do stuff and then she hangs up 323 00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.240 and I go. Now, wait a second, what was I 324 00:17:59.279 --> 00:17:59.839 supposed to do? 325 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:03.000 I love it? 326 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.839 Okay, So then let's move on to oh, are the 327 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:08.559 phones available? 328 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:09.559 Now, that's what I want to ask. 329 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:15.480 Phones available August twenty second. For some very very confusing amy, 330 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.920 some of the phones are in stores in August twenty second. 331 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.640 Some are in stores in September. Prices start at eight 332 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:24.680 hundred dollars. The interesting thing that Google did here this year, 333 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.000 by the way, is that you can get so there's 334 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.000 a little baby phone, then there's two prophones in the middle. 335 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.039 Then there's a foldable phone. The two pro phones in 336 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:35.319 the middle of the lineup. You can choose if you 337 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:37.920 want a smaller version or a larger version. They both 338 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.799 have the same specs, so you can choose, like, I 339 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:42.880 want a small phone, but I want the pro features, 340 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.160 which is please more companies, please do that? 341 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:46.880 Okay? 342 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.640 Perfect, All right, Now let's move on, because two point 343 00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:54.480 seven billion data records have been hacked, and I'm guessing. 344 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:55.759 That's all of us. 345 00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:59.440 Yes, apparently if we can search this, which I'm sure 346 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:01.480 someone will, but up a website where you can search 347 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.240 for your info, you know, so you can see if 348 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.680 your info is in this hack. Yes, we're probably in there. 349 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:08.640 I already got an email yesterday that said I was 350 00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:14.640 in It names, social security numbers, physical addresses. Apparently the 351 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:17.880 address that it lists for people is old, like it 352 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:19.839 may be an old address that you lived at, so 353 00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:23.240 this could be older data, but your social doesn't really change. 354 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:25.759 So now that this data is out there on the 355 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.599 dark web, well actually it's just out there in general 356 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:31.799 now at this point, because they leaked it to everyone. 357 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.359 It's tough. It puts us in a tough position because 358 00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:36.839 we have the AT and T data from last couple 359 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.680 months ago mixed with this data, mixed with everything else. 360 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.559 There's no more sacred data about us. It's all floating 361 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.920 around online. So what do we do it. It's a 362 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.640 tricky question because people are probably paying to get their 363 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.039 information taken down from those you know, people finder sites, 364 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:54.799 but this is completely different. This is like on the 365 00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:58.480 dark Web, which means they don't play by the rules, 366 00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.799 So your information is out there. The best I can 367 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.039 say is Google is going to have this feature called 368 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.720 Dark Web Monitoring available to everyone for free. You can 369 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:09.759 sign up for that. That will only tell you that 370 00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.640 your infos out there, though maybe freeze your credit report 371 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.759 is the best you can do here and just. 372 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.720 Leave it frozen until you want to apply for a 373 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:24.319 credit card or some other financial assistance. 374 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:27.680 Yeah, apparently, from what I'm told from my radio callers, 375 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:31.480 it's very easy to freeze and unfreeze it, like if 376 00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:34.599 you're needing to open up something. The other thing you 377 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.839 should do is remain very critical of any email because 378 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.799 what happens is the scammers now use this data to 379 00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:43.599 send you emails, and so they may send you something 380 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:45.759 that has your personal information in it and you think 381 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.720 it's real, but it's totally bogus, and they're just trying 382 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:50.640 to get you to trick you into doing something. 383 00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:54.400 Yeah, you know, I'm so leery of any emails I got. 384 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:58.359 I got something from AT and T, which is my provider, 385 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.279 and it said, hey, I'm the business account guy and 386 00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:02.759 we want to go over and we can save you 387 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:04.400 a bunch of money and that kind of stuff. 388 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:06.880 I'm like, is that real? I don't know. 389 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:10.000 Yeah, I agree. I'm the same way with anything, Like 390 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:12.240 I got an AT and T text yesterday and they said, oh, 391 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:14.519 we need to upgrade your equipment and I was like, 392 00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:18.920 what equipment? And yes, I have AT and T. But 393 00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:21.119 same thing My mom sent me a text the other 394 00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:22.839 day and she said is this real? And it was 395 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.440 about a you know, fraudulent alert for her bank, and 396 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:28.599 I said, well, do you use this bank? She said yeah. 397 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:30.319 I said, well, I think it looks fake. And it 398 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:32.799 turns out it was real. And the phone number that 399 00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:35.200 was in the text was not the typical number that 400 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:37.079 you would call in the back of the ATM card. 401 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:39.880
