We're super excited. 10 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.280 We're connecting to the International Space Station. 11 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:48.240 Actually we're already. 12 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.719 Connected by zoom to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, 13 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.159 and we're going to be talking to our friend Nick Haig. 14 00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:58.719 You may remember him. We've talked to him several times. 15 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.719 He is a Space Force guardian and a NASA astronaut 16 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.840 and it's Colonel Nick Haig who is up on the 17 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.359 International Space Station and we've got to talk to him 18 00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.920 several times as he was doing his training and leading 19 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.319 up to it and learning about. 20 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:13.840 The space station. 21 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.159 And we get to talk to him live from space 22 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.719 at the bottom of the hour. Very exciting. So let's 23 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.159 get going with everything going on, because there's a lot 24 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.920 going on. So here's what's ahead on wake up Call. 25 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.359 The Dodgers plan to pay tribute to legendary pitcher Fernando 26 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.120 Valenzuela before Game one of the World Series. It starts 27 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.359 Friday night at Dodgers Stadium. Valenzuela died yesterday at the 28 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.120 age of sixty three. La Metro will be unveiling a 29 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.840 new pilot program designed to keep writers safer at bus 30 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.560 and train stations. Officials are going to show off the 31 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:54.719 system at Union Station. It detects concealed weapons. It comes 32 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.719 a day after a man was stabbed at a Metro 33 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.000 station in downtown La The technology is only being tested 34 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.560 it out at Union Station for now. The La Times 35 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:07.200 has decided not to endorse a presidential candidate for the 36 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.960 first time since two thousand and four. The paper's owner 37 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.360 didn't say why. The Trump campaign says the La Times 38 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.039 decision is a humiliating blow to Vice President Harris. You know, 39 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.080 I watched her interview on NBC because with less than 40 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:24.479 two weeks away, everybody's out there just crisscrossing the key 41 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.240 battleground states and trying to earn those last votes. And 42 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.439 Harris did a couple of interviews today. One was on NBC, 43 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.439 and so I thought, I'm going to watch that because 44 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.280 we're still, you know, wanting to know more about her 45 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.400 and who she is and what kind of president she 46 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.520 might be. They played four minutes. Really at five twenty, 47 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.520 we're going to be talking with KTLA tech reporter Rich 48 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.240 DeMuro about a new tool that can take control of 49 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:51.840 your computer. 50 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:53.360 Okay, that scares me. 51 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.120 Also, Google is taking steps to protect you from scams. 52 00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.599 We've got Jim Ryan coming up in just a couple 53 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.280 of minutes. Next time you hail a taxi, you might 54 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.000 have to look up. And speaking of looking up, if 55 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.159 you look way up and out of this world, you 56 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.960 may catch a glimpse of the International Space Station. And 57 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.479 as I mentioned, our friend's Base Force Guardian Colonel Nick 58 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.639 Hague is up there. We're going to be talking with 59 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:18.000 him live from the space station. Coming up at the 60 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:19.759 bottom of the hour at six oh five, it's handle 61 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.960 on the news. McDonald's is not loving this. An E 62 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.400 Coli outbreak in ten states tied to quarter pounders. Let's 63 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:28.919 get started with some of the stories coming out of 64 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.840 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Legendary Dodgers pitcher Fernando 65 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:35.919 Valenzuela has died at a hospital in La. The team 66 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.080 made the announcement yesterday on X just days before the 67 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.080 Dodgers play in the World Series. Baseball Commissioner Rob manfred 68 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:47.000 says Valenzuela will be honored during the series at Dodgers Stadium. 69 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:50.599 The cause of Valenzuela's death was not released. The Mexican 70 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.240 pitcher won the National League Psy Young Award and Rookie 71 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.280 of the Year in nineteen eighty one when he helped 72 00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:00.000 the Dodgers win the World Series and inspired Fernando Mania. 73 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.120 I can't believe it. 74 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.919 It is the most puzzling, wonderful, rewarding thing I think 75 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.400 we've seen in baseball in many, many years. 76 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.800 That's announcer Vince Scully. Valenzuela left his job on the 77 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.079 Dodgers Spanish language TV broadcast last month without explanation, and 78 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.680 was reported to have been in the hospital earlier this month. 79 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.560 Fernando Valenzuela was sixty three. Ironically, a mural of Fernando 80 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.240 Valenzuela is going up in Boyle Heights. The muralist, Robert Vargas, 81 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.199 started painting the Fernando Mania Forever mural just yesterday and 82 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.920 said he hopes to complete it by November first, which 83 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.519 would have been Valenzuela's birthday. Vargas also painted the sho 84 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.519 hey Otani mural on the side of the Mianco Hotel 85 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.560 in Little Tokyo, LA County. DA George Gascon says he'll 86 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.519 have an announcement soon on a possible re sentencing of 87 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.480 the Menendez brothers. Their lawyers have been pushing for a 88 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.600 re sentencing based on what they say is new evidence 89 00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.480 supporting their brother's claims of sexual and physical abuse by 90 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.480 their father. Gascone says his office has been working on 91 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.319 a response to the defense arguments. 92 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.279 Ten days ago. I said I would make a decision 93 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.439 within ten days or so. I planned to have a 94 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:09.360 decision by the end. 95 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:09.879 Of this week. 96 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:12.600 Lyle and Eric Mendez were sentenced to life in prison 97 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.800 for the murder of their parents in nineteen eighty nine. 98 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.800 OC supervisor Andrew Doe has resigned and will forfeit two 99 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.480 properties and more than two point four million dollars as 100 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.120 part of a bribery plea deal. 101 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.439 The scheme essentially functioned like Robin Hood in reverse. 102 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.879 US attorney Martinez Trada says Doe stole COVID relief money 103 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.079 meant to feed the poor and gave it to himself. 104 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.240 Mister Doe publicly touted the meals program as a benefit 105 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.319 to his constituents. He was featured in video saying that 106 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.040 the organization was providing twenty seven hundred meals per week 107 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:42.720 to the needy. 108 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:44.720 That was not true, he said yesterday. 109 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.160 Up the nine point three million dollars dough directed to 110 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.360 a nonprofit, just a bit more than one point three 111 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.279 million dollars actually went to feeding seniors at the Federal 112 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.120 Courthouse in Orange County, cor Ben Carson k if I knew. 113 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:56.879 I just want to let you know that you might 114 00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.720 have heard the buzzers in the background. Nick gave us 115 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.319 a heads up yesterday that they were going to be 116 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.079 testing fire alarms in his building. I hope it doesn't 117 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.839 drive you crazy this morning, Nick, look up in the sky. 118 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:09.560 It's a bird. 119 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.839 It's a plane. It's a taxi. Let's say good morning 120 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.399 to ABC's Jim Ryan. Good morning, Jim. 121 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.680 Yeah, air taxis they're coming. They cleared for takeoff. Essentially, 122 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.560 the FAA has taken the next logistical step in this 123 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.600 whole thing. Amy I've been I'm on page sixty four 124 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.560 of the eight hundred and eighty page document the FAA 125 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:36.959 released this week the rules regulations how this will compare 126 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:42.720 these air taxis to previous aircrafts. So the issuance of 127 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.399 this document really opens the floodgates to the companies that 128 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:50.399 have been designing and building and hope to produce these 129 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.199 small aircraft in the next few years they'd be used. Essentially, 130 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.879 let's say you wanted to get from t Mecula to 131 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.519 lax Well in a few years from now. You'll pull 132 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.120 out your phone and you'll have an app, something like 133 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.319 the uber app or the lift app. You'll punch that 134 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.120 and you can hail a ride on an air taxi. 135 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.000 A small tilt rotor aircraft will fly out to your 136 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.560 location wherever that might be, or a designated landing zone. 137 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.480 You'll climb on board, flying over to lax There you. 138 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:23.360 Go wow, but it doesn't sound or maybe it will 139 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.720 eventually like drop down onto the street in front of 140 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.399 your house or like more designated you're going to have 141 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:30.600 to go to a landing space. 142 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.800 That's a great question that the FAA is looking at that, 143 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:35.879 and it's at least in the beginning, is going to 144 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:40.560 designate locations sort of like you know helipads. But again, 145 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.439 I mean you've seen helicopters land in unusual locations, and 146 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.079 technically this aircraft could do the same thing and probably 147 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.759 fit into a smaller space because these aircraft generally are 148 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.759 smaller than a standard helicopter. And so yeah, I mean, 149 00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.160 initially you probably would go to a designated unlike or 150 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.680 go to that designated spot. You'll be picked up and 151 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.680 then taken over to the airport and presumably have easy 152 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.879 access into the field if you're cleared through security before 153 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:11.360 you get on. 154 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.000 Okay, and do we know how many people the taxis 155 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:15.399 are going to. 156 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.480 Carry depends on the company that's building it and what 157 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.399 they've designed into it. Most of these carry three passengers 158 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.079 with a pilot, maybe four to six passengers. They'll be 159 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.000 fairly small. And if you remember, if you've seen the 160 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.080 V twenty two Osprey, the tilt rotor aircraft that the 161 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.440 Marines have adopted, built by Bell Helicopter Textron, this is 162 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.279 much like that, except much much smaller and infinitely quieter 163 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.279 than any helicopter or airplane flying right now. 164 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.240 And what about luggage. If you're going to lax and 165 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:49.840 it only fits three people. 166 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.840 There you go. I mean, they've got to design this 167 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.919 thing with those things in mind with the luggage capabilities, 168 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.200 they're weight requirements. I was just now looking at some 169 00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:01.240 of the weight requirements the car or the potential payload 170 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.960 that these things could carry depending upon their size. So 171 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.360 I mean the FAA, this eight hundred and eighty page 172 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.440 document lays out a lot of that stuff. Of course, 173 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:14.440 much of it refers to other FAA documents related to training, 174 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.679 for example, so you know, at the point where it 175 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.840 says pilot training, Yes, pilots will be trained initially by 176 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.679 the company that manufactured the aircraft, and then it says, 177 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.960 see the helicopter pilot provisions of far whatever it is. 178 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.600 You know, yeah, okay, and do we have any idea 179 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:33.200 like how much it's going to cost. 180 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.679 You mean, I mean the aircraft themselves are going to 181 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.279 be you know, these are these are million dollar aircraft, 182 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.200 But in terms of how much it might cost you 183 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.600 to book the thing, I don't think they've gotten that 184 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.600 far ahead yet. I mean, they've been busy dealing with 185 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:51.200 the FAA and dealing with the engineering of these these 186 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.799 but I mean, I'm told that it'll be similar to 187 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:59.200 the cost of a an Uber Black. So let's say 188 00:09:59.200 --> 00:09:59.840 you wanted to fly. 189 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.000 From really to LaGuardia. 190 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:02.639 That's not bad. 191 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:04.480 Yeah, I'm not sure what the uber, but I guess 192 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.480 that's top of the line uber, right, that may be 193 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.840 a limousine or something, so it be similar to the 194 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:13.840 price of renting a limousine from midtown Manhattan out to LaGuardia. 195 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.799 Okay, and I miss this if you mentioned it. 196 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.200 Do we have any idea when they might actually have 197 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:22.200 something to roll out? 198 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.159 Well, this is really the first government stell. I mean, 199 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:29.919 this is a comprehensive set of rules implemented by the FAA. 200 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.200 So with this in hand, those designers, those companies that 201 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.440 have been working on these things have a blueprint now, 202 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.320 at least a regulatory blueprint to go on. And so 203 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.159 I had to expect these things within the the next 204 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.919 couple of years. But they're already under development. They're flying 205 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.200 at least in a test bed capacity. I've been looking 206 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.919 at videos from the various companies that make them, and 207 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:50.879 they're very cool. 208 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.840 And do we know where they might first try to 209 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:56.799 roll them out? I'm thinking of like if they put 210 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.080 it into a city like I would think that like 211 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.679 Dallas would be a better choice than San Francisco, just 212 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:03.519 because it's flat. 213 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.159 Yeah, that's a good idea. I mean, because it's flat. 214 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.559 That's a good point there. In visibility and the visual 215 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.840 requirements of these things are something to take into account. Yeah, 216 00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:19.120 maybe someplace like a Dallas Fort Worth, maybe someplace. You know, 217 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:23.679 maybe it'll be John Wayne and carrying passengers from somewhere 218 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.600 in a less congested area than LA. But you know, 219 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.320 it's going to be baby steps essentially, but they're gonna 220 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:30.960 be baby steps taken fairly quickly. 221 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:31.200 Now. 222 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.519 I just can't help but think of the Jetsons.

So Claude, 314 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.240 which is the AI that I love to use. It's 315 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.480 really good. It's chat gbt's biggest competitor. They have announced 316 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.879 a feature where it can now control desktop applications through 317 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.080 a new computer use API. So this is in beta, 318 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:32.559 but you can program if you're smart and you know 319 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:35.519 what you're doing. You can program the AI to control 320 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:39.320 your mouse, type on your keyboard, click things. It can 321 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:42.679 browse the web. It can interact with any website or application. 322 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.759 But yeah, this is pretty wild to me because if 323 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.480 you are smart and you're sort of a programmer. Of 324 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:51.799 course right now, later on anyone't be able to do this. 325 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.559 You can literally make this AI do things on your 326 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:58.039 computer that is just wild to me. 327 00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:59.679 So the example they give is like. 328 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.679 Booking a flight, or you know, there's just so many 329 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.519 things that you can think of that you might let 330 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.200 this thing do. But want it's out in the public, 331 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:08.519 people will see what they do with it. 332 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:13.200 Okay, So basically you tell it what to do and 333 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:14.200 then it just does it. 334 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.880 Like you'll say, computer, please book me a flight. 335 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:19.880 Yeah, and that's so the idea here is that this 336 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:21.799 is in beta. They don't know what people are going 337 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.000 to do with this, and so they're just gonna let 338 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:26.440 this out into the world and see, obviously there are 339 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.119 some safeguards that they told people. They said, look, you know, 340 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.240 we won't do social media postings, we won't interact with 341 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.880 government websites, we won't access sensitive data on your computer 342 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.119 unless you give us permission. 343 00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.559 But given that, you know exactly. 344 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:44.559 But again, this is a test to see what people 345 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.000 do with this, because their reasoning is that in the 346 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.079 future there's gonna be a lot more of this, so 347 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:51.920 we'd rather have this in a controlled, safer method of 348 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:55.160 use before everyone in the world has access to this 349 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.880 and they use it for you know, obviously evil purposes. 350 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:00.599 Okay, what if you have a shopaholic a and it 351 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.720 just starts ordering stuff off Amazon for you. 352 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:06.319 Yeah, I mean, look, the possibilities are endless with this 353 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.000 kind of thing, and that's the beauty of putting this 354 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.279 out into the world is that we will see what 355 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.079 people do with it. You might run a small business 356 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.160 and there's just one little simple thing you do every 357 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.519 single morning that you can now automate. Or you may 358 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.279 have a work at home job and now you can 359 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:22.799 do something else where it downloads a file every morning, 360 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:25.039 and it summarizes it for you.
