Speaker 1: stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room.
Speaker 1: Police in Santa Monica say a man suspected of shooting
Speaker 1: a coworker at Santa Monica College killed himself during a
Speaker 1: standoff in Hawthorn. Swat trucks pinned the guy's car on
Speaker 1: Aviation Boulevard yesterday. Officers say he shot himself. The man
Speaker 1: was wanted in connection with the shooting of a custodian
Speaker 1: at the college on Monday night. This student at Santa
Speaker 1: Monica College says, the whole thing is unnerving. What kind
Speaker 1: of person were they employing.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of jarring knowing that somebody capable
Speaker 2: of that is.
Speaker 1: Was on campus. Billy say the man had a history
Speaker 1: of arrests, including attempted murder in twenty eleven, an assault
Speaker 1: with a deadly weapon involving a weapon involving a firearm.
Speaker 1: Rather in twenty nineteen, the son of a photojournalist murdered
Speaker 1: near Mount Baldy in the San Gabriel Mountains as doing

Speaker 5: You could feel that Parisians had an uplifted morale, a
Speaker 5: great sense of what their city could accomplish.
Speaker 4: When twenty twenty eight rolls around, La will join Paris
Speaker 4: in another distinction along with London as the only cities
Speaker 4: to host the Games three times.
Speaker 6: In downtown La. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: The National Retail Federation says holiday sales are expected to
Speaker 1: set a new record this year. The federation says sales
Speaker 1: could rise as much as three and a half percent
Speaker 1: over last year, hitting about nine hundred and eighty billion dollars.
Speaker 1: Analysts say last month's interest rate cut could have helped
Speaker 1: lead to the higher expected holiday spending. We're waiting on
Speaker 1: Giordana Miller to connect with us from Israel. We know
Speaker 1: there's some delays sometimes because well she's calling from halfway
Speaker 1: around the country world. Oh wait, she is there. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's there, she is. Good morning, Jordana. The Biden administration
Speaker 1: has a new warning for Israel as it's continuing to
Speaker 1: try to root out Hamas in Gaza. What's at stake here, Well, the.
Speaker 7: You know, the supply of weapons and military aid for
Speaker 7: Israel is at stake. It's a pretty severe step that
Speaker 7: the United States has taken. We can assume it comes
Speaker 7: after this essions that the Americans had with the Israelis,
Speaker 7: except they didn't see any real changes on the ground,
Speaker 7: and so they put their demands into a letter with
Speaker 7: the looming threat of a weapons embargo if Israel doesn't
Speaker 7: improve the situation and get more humanitarian aid into Gaza,
Speaker 7: and the Americans have given Israel about thirty days to
Speaker 7: make a real change. You know, if we look at
Speaker 7: what's happening in the Gaza Strip and especially in northern Gaza,
Speaker 7: there has been a significant drop and aid getting in
Speaker 7: and there's you know, many many reasons for that. The
Speaker 7: Israelis aren't entirely to blame, but they do control the
Speaker 7: crossings that go into Gaza. The crossings have been closed
Speaker 7: for seven or eight of the of just the days
Speaker 7: of this month because of various Jewish holidays, the anniversary
Speaker 7: of October seventh, and even if even if AID came in,
Speaker 7: there was still a major problem with distributing the aid,
Speaker 7: the UN groups actually getting it into the hands of
Speaker 7: people that need it. And if you look specifically just
Speaker 7: at Northern Gaza, it's been a disaster over the last
Speaker 7: few weeks because Israel essentially relaunched a ground incursion into
Speaker 7: north parts of northern Gaza and it's almost you know,
Speaker 7: impossible to get AID in when there's major combat going
Speaker 7: on and it will focus has really been on the north.
Speaker 7: So there's been a lot of complaints from UN groups
Speaker 7: that they haven't been able to get in enough trucks.
Speaker 7: There hasn't been safe passage for the trucks to get
Speaker 7: to people who need aid, and the United States basically
Speaker 7: said we're fed up with this. You know, you need
Speaker 7: to make major changes or you know, you might we're
Speaker 7: not going to be able to supply you as military
Speaker 7: aid because we'll be in you know, in contravention of
Speaker 7: American law.
Speaker 1: Right, So Jordana. If the US stopped giving pretty much
Speaker 1: full support to Israe, what's at stake? I mean, can
Speaker 1: Israel got alone or do they? Can they not fight
Speaker 1: the war without the funding from the US.
Speaker 7: I mean, Israel would be able to fight for a
Speaker 7: little while, but not not for the long game. You know,
Speaker 7: they are dependent on American military aid, and Israel no
Speaker 7: position right now to put any of that aid at risk. Right,
Speaker 7: I mean, just look at what's happening in the region.
Speaker 7: The war in Gaza is not over. They're still fighting
Speaker 7: in northern Gaza. The war in Lebanon, the undeclared war
Speaker 7: against Obala, has just started. Right. Israel has a ground
Speaker 7: incursion into southern Lebanon. They're bombing Beirut and north of Beyrout.
Speaker 7: They've made significant gains against Hasbala in the last six weeks.
Speaker 7: But let's not you know, we cannot we can't overstate
Speaker 7: that Hasbala still has thousands of thousands of mid, short
Speaker 7: and long range missiles, some of them precision guided. Right,
Speaker 7: you can't take out Habala's whole arsenal in four or
Speaker 7: six weeks. Right, there were one hundred thousands was the
Speaker 7: last estimate at least, so that fighting is going to
Speaker 7: go on for some time. And then look then if
Speaker 7: we zoom out, we're waiting for Israel to strike Iran
Speaker 7: after Iran fired one hundred and eighty ballistic missiles on Israel.
Speaker 7: And that is even if Israel sticks to the military
Speaker 7: targets and doesn't touch the oil fields or the nuclear site,
Speaker 7: still Israel's going to hit Ran with a significant attack
Speaker 7: and that's going to likely draw another reprisal from Iran. Right,
Speaker 7: so there's a lot of a lot of theaters in
Speaker 7: which Israel is fighting and it can't put any of it,
Speaker 7: any military aid from the US at risk. So you
Speaker 7: know we're going to see, you know, we're going to
Speaker 7: see Israel make some changes. It looks like try to
Speaker 7: really boost aid in. There's only about fifty or sixty
Speaker 7: or seventy trucks that have gone in on average this month,
Speaker 7: and that's you know, that's a fifty percent drop or more.
Speaker 7: You know, there should be about two hundred trucks going
Speaker 7: in and again fewer even fewer getting into northern Gaza.
Speaker 7: So you know, we're gonna have to watch and see
Speaker 7: what the Israelis do. But they are taking this seriously.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then also on the other end, like you said,
Speaker 1: even if or when Israel does increase the aid and
Speaker 1: start sending more trucks in, there's no guarantee that the
Speaker 1: palaestin name people get it.
Speaker 7: Right. Well, that's an issue that you know, the UN
Speaker 7: has to also deal with the World Food Program, the
Speaker 7: World Health Organization, the NGOs that are under the UN
Speaker 7: or US umbrella. Those organizations have to distribute the aid
Speaker 7: and that is complicated because not only because of Israeli
Speaker 7: combat in northern Gaza now, but there's a lot of
Speaker 7: lawlessness in the area because the police used to be
Speaker 7: part of Hamas and Israel's targeted and taking the police out.
Speaker 7: So Hamas is there. Hamas is stealing some of the aid.
Speaker 7: I mean, that's clear. Yeah, they're they're they're they're stockpiling
Speaker 7: it in their tunnels. They're selling it at you know,
Speaker 7: exorbitant prices to normal gobsins, so you know, dealing and
Speaker 7: there's a big bully on the streets. I mean, who
Speaker 7: who's you know, the UN has to deal with, you know,
Speaker 7: Hamas as well as they try to navigate this. So
Speaker 7: it's a complicated picture and it's been a persistent problem
Speaker 7: distributing the aid, So we're going to have to just
Speaker 7: see what Israel does and hopefully the UN also will
Speaker 7: work more closely with Israel.
Speaker 1: All right, Jordana Miller, thank you so much for the information.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it as always. Okay, texting a Let's get
Speaker 1: back to some of the stories coming out of the
Speaker 1: KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Lawyers for Shawn Combs have
Speaker 1: asked a judge in New York to force prosecutors to
Speaker 1: disclose the names of his accusers in his sex trafficking case.
Speaker 1: The lawyer said Combs needs to know in order to
Speaker 1: prepare for his trial, which is said to start May fifth.
Speaker 1: Combs remains in jail, having been denied bail twice, with
Speaker 1: a third request pending. Judges so far have concluded he's
Speaker 1: a danger to the community. The Orange County DA says
Speaker 1: a candidate who's on the ballot for Fullerton City Council

Speaker 2: under penalty of perjury that he witnessed the thirty required
Speaker 2: signatures for him to be eligible.

Speaker 8: to qualify for the ballot, when in fact he did
Speaker 8: none of those things.
Speaker 2: It says if Markowitz is elected, taxpayers would be forced
Speaker 2: to pay up to seven hundred thousand dollars for a
Speaker 2: special election for an eligible candidate. Markowitz was charged yesterday

Speaker 1: eight if it passes. Supporters say about a quarter of

Speaker 1: the idea could spiral into unforeseen consequences. A judge in

Speaker 1: legal deadline. The rulings or wins for Democrats, liberal voting
Speaker 1: rights groups, and legal experts, who have raised concerns that
Speaker 1: allies of former President Trump could refuse to certify the results.

Speaker 1: guy accused of threatening female workers in North Carolina is
Speaker 1: speaking out. We'll let you know what he's saying. Right now,
Speaker 1: let's say good morning too. The host of Rich on
Speaker 1: Tech on KFI KTLI tech reporter Rich DeMuro, Good.
Speaker 6: Morning, Rich, Good morning to you. Amy.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we have new things that aren't so great
Speaker 1: because they ignore old problems. Apple's new iPad Mini is out.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a great way of putting it. So the
Speaker 10: iPad Mini, a lot of people like it because it's
Speaker 10: nice and small. This is the new seventh generation, and
Speaker 10: so of course they put a new processor in much faster,
Speaker 10: a seventeen pro ready for Apple Intelligence.
Speaker 6: Whenever that comes out in the next two weeks or so.
Speaker 6: Let's see what else. Screen size day the same.
Speaker 10: Oh, they also made it faster with the Wi Fi.
Speaker 10: If your router supports that, it's four hundred and ninety
Speaker 10: nine dollars. They increase the storage by double, so it's
Speaker 10: one hundred and twenty eight gigs, so you can actually
Speaker 10: store some stuff on here. But the one thing they
Speaker 10: did not change on this little tiny iPad is the screen,
Speaker 10: and that is the biggest issue. So I bought this
Speaker 10: a couple of years ago and I returned it within
Speaker 10: two days because if you're looking at the iPhone all day,
Speaker 10: it's a really clear screen, and if you look at
Speaker 10: this iPad many it is not clear.
Speaker 6: It looks like an old school iPhone. So they didn't
Speaker 6: fix that.
Speaker 1: So it just needs like a higher resolution.
Speaker 10: Yes exactly, and so without that, I can't recommend this.
Speaker 10: I have to see this in person, but I'm really
Speaker 10: confused as to why Apple did not change that. Yeah,
Speaker 10: because it's literally keeping me from getting this thing, because
Speaker 10: I want a tiny iPad that I can use as
Speaker 10: you know, books and magazines and videos on the plane.
Speaker 6: But this is not it. For five hundred bucks. They
Speaker 6: needed to fix that, you know what.
Speaker 1: The other thing that I think is a problem with
Speaker 1: the iPad compared like because the kindle you can read
Speaker 1: and it doesn't get all glary on you, so you
Speaker 1: can read it outdoors and in different lights. The iPad
Speaker 1: has that, I don't know, the reflection on it or something.
Speaker 1: You don't see it as well you can, and you
Speaker 1: can't adjust the screen to make it like good for
Speaker 1: book reading.
Speaker 10: Yeah, one hundred percent. And I think that that's a
Speaker 10: huge miss with Apple because the technology exists. There's actually
Speaker 10: another tablet I tested called next Paper from TCL, and
Speaker 10: that's what it does. It switches from the standard screen
Speaker 10: you watch like a movie on to a more Kindle
Speaker 10: like screen.
Speaker 6: It's not perfect, and you know, but it is.
Speaker 10: It is that technology exists, and so personally, for that reason,
Speaker 10: I'm still using on the plane my phone and then
Speaker 10: a regular old kindle because I still think that's the
Speaker 10: most distraction freeway of reading and also easy on the eye,
Speaker 10: especially us. You know, ninety nine percent of people are
Speaker 10: on their screens all day, so nice to get a
Speaker 10: break from that.
Speaker 1: Okay, except that you know you're supposed to turn off
Speaker 1: technology before you go to sleep, but now you're saying
Speaker 1: that YouTube can actually help you go to sleep.
Speaker 10: Yeah, the irony of this, I'm now, I will admit
Speaker 10: I'm pretty much one of those people who like checks
Speaker 10: their phone right before they go to sleep, and for
Speaker 10: better or for worse, because if you see an email
Speaker 10: that needs something, you think about it all night long,
Speaker 10: so I can't recommend that. But this is a new
Speaker 10: feature on YouTube. They have added a sleep timer, so
Speaker 10: if you can't get enough of YouTube all day long,
Speaker 10: you can now.
Speaker 6: Fall asleep to YouTube.
Speaker 10: This used to be a premium feature, so you had
Speaker 10: to pay for a premium account to get this. Now
Speaker 10: it is available to everyone, and they have a bunch
Speaker 10: of other little improvements too to the app.
Speaker 6: But I thought that was pretty funny. But here's a deal.
Speaker 10: My kids everything is YouTube to them, so when they
Speaker 10: listen to music or news or anything, it is all
Speaker 10: just YouTube is their first search, so it's they don't
Speaker 10: go to the traditional channels. It's really interesting, so I
Speaker 10: think this is aimed towards people like them.
Speaker 1: Well, can't you just put the sleep timer on the
Speaker 1: television television?
Speaker 6: The kids don't want to watch television. They're on their
Speaker 6: phones and.
Speaker 1: I just watching YouTube on their screens. They're not watching
Speaker 1: it on TV.
Speaker 10: Well sometimes on TV. But my point is it's, you know,
Speaker 10: we're in a whole new world where it's like, you know,
Speaker 10: the first thing you might do when you get to
Speaker 10: a hotel room is turn on the TV. Kids, you know,
Speaker 10: not like we did that with our kids once. They
Speaker 10: couldn't believe it. Like they're like, wait, stuff just plays
Speaker 10: all day long, like on this TV. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 10: Disney Channel just like literally just plays stuff one after another.
Speaker 10: They were like so entranced.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: Okay, us, speaking of new technology, we might not have
Speaker 1: to share business cards anymore. I always liked business cards,
Speaker 1: but I get that they're obsolete.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 10: I still think business cards are the easiest way to
Speaker 10: share when you're out and about, because I'm at a
Speaker 10: lot of conferences and I've tried the digital cards and
Speaker 10: it's really tricky because it's just this anyway. Instagram of
Speaker 10: course putting their take on the digital business card, and
Speaker 10: you can access this on your account right now. If
Speaker 10: you go to your profile and then you hit share profile,
Speaker 10: you'll see this new little fancy business cards show up.
Speaker 10: It's like two sided, it's got a QR code on
Speaker 10: the back, It's got your picture on the front along
Speaker 10: with your little bio. And the idea is that you
Speaker 10: can either share this to someone via text, whatever, or
Speaker 10: they can scan the QR code on the back. You
Speaker 10: can also share it to your story on Instagram. I
Speaker 10: don't know why you'd need to do that. I did it,
Speaker 10: but just to test it.
Speaker 6: But it's there, okay.
Speaker 1: And is it just to share your Instagram information or
Speaker 1: is it to share your your phone number and your
Speaker 1: email address and that kind of stuff too.
Speaker 10: As far as I can tell, there's no way to
Speaker 10: put that information on there, which yeah, I mean you
Speaker 10: could you let's see, Yeah, I don't see anywhere to
Speaker 10: put my phone number email. You can put it in
Speaker 10: your bio, I guess, but that'd be kind of weird
Speaker 10: because everyone on Instagram wants to see it, so don't
Speaker 10: think you want to do that. I like popol popl.
Speaker 10: If you want a proper digital business card, I think
Speaker 10: that's the best one out there.
Speaker 6: Popl Okay.
Speaker 1: And for to be fans, you might be getting some money.
Speaker 6: Yes, thanks for the heads up on this one. I guess.
Speaker 10: Maybe you've got the email, but we get there's so
Speaker 10: many class action lawsuits. People don't know if they're like
Speaker 10: real or not. But yes, this one is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I sent you that email saying yes that I
Speaker 1: might be eligible for money.
Speaker 10: Twenty million dollars. This is the irony of this two
Speaker 10: b is free. It's completely free. And now they've got
Speaker 10: to pay twenty million dollars because they collected people's information
Speaker 10: and allegedly gave it out to third parties without their consent.
Speaker 10: So if you use Tube between June twenty third, twenty
Speaker 10: twenty one and August twenty sixth, twenty twenty four, you
Speaker 10: can get an equal share of this settlement fund.
Speaker 6: So go to the website. Let's see what is it?
Speaker 6: Video Streaming Settlement dot com?
Speaker 1: What if I am sure if I used it?
Speaker 10: Well, if you got the email you used it, you
Speaker 10: must have signed up at some point, because you know
Speaker 10: they send these emails out to everyone on the list.
Speaker 10: So I did not get one, which is interesting because
Speaker 10: I thought I had a two B account, but maybe
Speaker 10: I didn't sell.
Speaker 6: Lets it pay more techy than you, more to B
Speaker 6: than may.
Speaker 1: I know more to be? Okay, one last question for you.
Speaker 1: We were out doing some video stuff yesterday and.
Speaker 6: No you get around. It's amazing. I love it anyway.
Speaker 1: Okay, So on the camera on my iPhone and it's
Speaker 1: a sixteen?
Speaker 6: Yes, sis, Nancy?
Speaker 1: Is it a s No, it's a fifteen. Sorry, it's
Speaker 1: a fifteen. There is a way to pause your video,
Speaker 1: but my camera doesn't have it. Do I just need
Speaker 1: to do an update.
Speaker 10: Yes, you got update. So they added this in iOS eighteen.
Speaker 10: This is a feature that I've wanted forever, been on
Speaker 10: Android forever, now it's on iPhone. You can pause video
Speaker 10: in the middle, so not when you're watching, but when
Speaker 10: you're recording video. So if you want to, instead of
Speaker 10: having seventy five clips, you can have one long video
Speaker 10: of your kid playing baseball or basketball or whatever and
Speaker 10: pause in between the shots.
Speaker 6: So update to iOS eighteen to get that and it
Speaker 6: will show up.
Speaker 1: Now here's my dumb quest. I'm so not tech. You
Speaker 1: guys know that already. Where do I update it? I
Speaker 1: thought I had automatic updates on and I don't see
Speaker 1: that i'd need an update.
Speaker 10: I don't believe it will do an automatic update to
Speaker 10: the next iOS. So when you go into general and
Speaker 10: I had this question yesterday, there are two software updates
Speaker 10: now from now on. The big software update is down
Speaker 10: at the bottom of the screen, and then the standard
Speaker 10: software update is in the middle of the screen as typical.
Speaker 10: So if you want to do the big update, which
Speaker 10: is eighteen, go to settings there and then General Software Update,
Speaker 10: and down at the bottom it will say iOS eighteen
Speaker 10: available and do I.
Speaker 1: Want iOS eighteen? Do we all want it?
Speaker 6: We do?
Speaker 10: If you want the pause, Amy, we've got to make decisions.
Speaker 10: If you want the pause, you got to go with
Speaker 10: iOS eighteen.
Speaker 1: Well there's other updates too, right, but it's still right now.
Speaker 6: Oh there's a lot. Yes, there's a lot of updates.
Speaker 10: I mean it's going to change every You're going to
Speaker 10: ruin your whole day if you do it right now,
Speaker 10: because you're going to be playing on your phone all day.
Speaker 1: I promise I won't do it right now. Rich Demiro

Speaker 1: Vice President Harris says she's going to win the election
Speaker 1: that is now less than three weeks away. In a
Speaker 1: radio town hall with the Breakfast Club host Charlemagne the God,
Speaker 1: Harris says it's going to be a tight race, but
Speaker 1: she'll win. Harris is doing her first sit down interview
Speaker 1: with Fox News ever this afternoon at three. Some healthcare
Speaker 1: workers in California are getting a pay raise starting today.
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom signed a law last year that will gradually
Speaker 1: raise wages for the lowest paid healthcare workers to twenty
Speaker 1: five bucks an hour. The pay increase was delayed several
Speaker 1: months because of state budget issues. The Dodgers are sending
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller to the mound tonight for Game three of
Speaker 1: the National League Championship Series at City Field in New York.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers and Mets series is tied at one game apiece.
Speaker 1: First pitch goes out at five oh eight, at five
Speaker 1: point fifty. Remember mister Rogers always said that when something
Speaker 1: bad happens, you look for the helpers. Well, ABC's Jim
Speaker 1: Ryan says, also look for the scammers. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: about that, Amy.
Speaker 5: It's on, It's on it.
Speaker 1: What am I on? H I'm on the stream. Lots
Speaker 1: of movies, lots of documentaries, lots of TV shows. So
Speaker 1: much to watch. How do you know what to watch?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 1: I take recommendations from friends, and sometimes I give recommendations
Speaker 1: like right, now I'm going to so and hopefully it'll
Speaker 1: steer you in the right direction to either go and
Speaker 1: binge a really great show or pass on a show
Speaker 1: that's not so hot. This show is Bad Monkey. The
Speaker 1: name denotes bad, but I think it's pretty good. It's
Speaker 1: on Apple TV. Plus the full series is out now.
Speaker 1: The finale just dropped last week, so you can watch
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Now. You know the Apple does it
Speaker 1: where they release the first two and then they do
Speaker 1: it one by one, So if you've waited, now you
Speaker 1: can see the whole series. This is a pretty fun show.
Speaker 1: I should have known that I was gonna like it
Speaker 1: because it's from ted Lasso. Co creator Bill Lawrence said,
Speaker 1: it's not at all like ted Lasso. It's adapted from
Speaker 1: a best selling novel called Bad Monkey. Vince Vaughn is
Speaker 1: in it. He plays detective Andrew Yancey. He lives in
Speaker 1: the Florida Keys, and he was a detective but apparently
Speaker 1: he screwed up pretty bad and so he got canned
Speaker 1: and now he's like a health inspector and that's kind
Speaker 1: of funny in and of itself. And then he finds
Speaker 1: this severed arm. This happens early on in the first episode,
Speaker 1: so I'm not giving anything away, but he is determined
Speaker 1: then to solve the mystery of this severed arm and
Speaker 1: maybe get his job back. Meredith Hegner, who I was like,
Speaker 1: how do I know how? How do I know her?
Speaker 1: How do I know her? She also comes from the
Speaker 1: Hallmark universe. But she's great. She's Eve Stripling. She's a
Speaker 1: gal who comes from nothing. She finds her basically her
Speaker 1: golden ticket, and then she becomes somebody who at the
Speaker 1: surface looks like this lovely, adorable sweet and you quickly
Speaker 1: find out that's not her. But what a fun character
Speaker 1: to play. That's Eve Strippling. And then Zach Bramf, isn't it.
Speaker 1: You might know him from Scrubs or maybe T mobile commercials.
Speaker 1: He plays a doctor gets involved in some dirty business.
Speaker 1: There are some twists, and there are turns, and there's
Speaker 1: some prizes, and when you put Vince Vaughan into the
Speaker 1: middle of all of it, it's pretty funny and it's
Speaker 1: a good ride. If you're a Vince Vaughn fan, you're
Speaker 1: gonna love his character Yancey. And then you add in
Speaker 1: a little island dark magic and some really interesting side characters.
Speaker 1: And you've got a really compelling show keeps you coming
Speaker 1: back for more. What I don't know after watching the
Speaker 1: finale even is whether there's more story to tell. There
Speaker 1: may be, but it hasn't been renewed yet, at least
Speaker 1: the last time I checked, it hadn't been renewed, so
Speaker 1: I don't know. But even if it's not, If this
Speaker 1: is a one season thing, it's great. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. Like I said, it's not like ted Lasso,
Speaker 1: but it's it's shot in a way that sort of
Speaker 1: is reminiscent of that. But it's a little bit darker
Speaker 1: but also very funny. So again, it's called Bad Monkey.
Speaker 1: It's on Apple TV. Plus. I'm on it. I think
Speaker 1: you should be too. Let's get back to some of
Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: Members of Eric and Lyle Menendez's family are set to
Speaker 1: hold a news conference in LA in support of the brothers,

Speaker 4: support for any federal attempt to block the grocery giant's merger.
Speaker 4: Councilman Tracy Park says the twenty five billion dollar d
Speaker 4: yel would eliminate competition, raise prices, and possibly cost jobs.
Speaker 1: As you all know, our grocery stores really are community anchors.
Speaker 11: They serve countless families, seniors, and residents, and they provide
Speaker 11: pathways into good, middle class jobs.

Speaker 1: gave him a timeline. They've got thirty days to do it.
Speaker 1: After twenty years at the Oakland Zoo, Osh the elephant
Speaker 1: is headed to his new home at a sanctuary in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: He'll be reunited with his mate, Donna, who was moved
Speaker 1: to the same sanctuary last year.
Speaker 12: We looked at a lot of opportunities could we bring
Speaker 12: elephants back to Oakland, but really at the end of
Speaker 12: the day said he could move to the Elephant Sanctuary
Speaker 12: as well, be there close to Donna, but with other
Speaker 12: African elephants as well.
Speaker 1: Zoo CEO Nick de Hagia says the move also brings
Speaker 1: to an end the zoo's seventy five year old elephant exhibit.
Speaker 1: Some zoo visitors say they're okay with that.
Speaker 5: I'm sad, but no, he has worked to a sanctuary
Speaker 5: where there's other elephants and he could be in a
Speaker 5: hurt situation makes me happy.
Speaker 1: Ash weighs fifteen thousand pounds. He's going to be made
Speaker 1: making the forty hour journey journey to Tennessee in an
Speaker 1: air conditioned trailer. He'll then be free to rome in
Speaker 1: his three thousand acre new home. The Oakland Zoo is
Speaker 1: the forty first zoo in the US to close its
Speaker 1: elephant exhibit. A person wanted for shooting a worker at
Speaker 1: Santa Monica College is dead. Police from several agencies surrounded
Speaker 1: the person in a car on Aviation Boulevard yesterday afternoon
Speaker 1: at Hawthorne. A gunshot was heard. The person was found
Speaker 1: dead inside Santa Monica Police Chief Johnny Adams says the
Speaker 1: shooting was workplace violence, not a random act. The Pentagon
Speaker 1: says more than eight hundred military personnel have had their
Speaker 1: service records upgraded to honorable discharges after previously being kicked
Speaker 1: out of the military under its former don't Ask, Don't
Speaker 1: Tell policy. The Pentagon estimates about thirteen thousand, five hundred
Speaker 1: service members in total were affected by the policy. Parts
Speaker 1: of the US are going to be feeling more like
Speaker 1: its winter rather than fall. Over sixty million people are
Speaker 1: under some type of breeze or frost alerts. It's like
Speaker 1: seventy five or eighty here all the way from the
Speaker 1: plains to the East coast. More cold air is making
Speaker 1: its way south from Canada. That could have millions seeing
Speaker 1: their coldest day since spring. Temperatures in Chicago may not
Speaker 1: top fifty today. We're just minutes away from Handle. On
Speaker 1: the news, the Menendez brothers are back in the spotlight
Speaker 1: as family from around the US converges on LA. Right now,
Speaker 1: let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. So Jim
Speaker 1: mister Rogers always says in a disaster, look for the helpers,
Speaker 1: and the helpers have come out in droves. But now
Speaker 1: Hurricane Helene and Milton survivors need to look out for
Speaker 1: the scammers.
Speaker 3: Right the helpers and they're hurters. If you will, you've
Speaker 3: probably seen that image. I mean it's just awful. I
Speaker 3: mean what these people are going through. The little girl
Speaker 3: holding her poppy and she's just traumatized. She's been through
Speaker 3: Hurricane Helene and she's finally getting rescued. She's got a
Speaker 3: life vest on, and that she's in a boat and
Speaker 3: just heartbreaking in who wouldn't want to help out that
Speaker 3: little girl. The problem is that the puppy, the boat
Speaker 3: of life as the little girl. None of it's real.
Speaker 3: It's all AI generated that particular image. It's been spreading
Speaker 3: across social media like crazy. Yeah, totally cooked, I mean,
Speaker 3: made out a whole cloth on by artificial intelligence. There
Speaker 3: are other images. The picture of Cinderella's Castle at Disney
Speaker 3: World flooded, you know, these floodwaters inundating Disney World in
Speaker 3: Florida by Hurricane Milton. That wasn't real either. Picture of
Speaker 3: President Trump trumping through waist high waters after he visited
Speaker 3: Georgia not real.
Speaker 1: Well, no, Trump's not going to do that.
Speaker 3: Well it was you know, and who knows why that
Speaker 3: was put out there. I assume it was a supporter
Speaker 3: of Donald Trump. But his clothes are dry, even though
Speaker 3: he's standing in waist high water. His clothes are dry.
Speaker 3: The person with him has a weird ball cap on,
Speaker 3: and Trump's hand has only two fingers. I think you
Speaker 3: got to look carefully at these images to see if
Speaker 3: there were And by the way, you can go to
Speaker 3: Google Images, do a search and see if any of
Speaker 3: this is a real fake. Current might be something from
Speaker 3: somewhere else in the world. Some of the hurricane video
Speaker 3: that was being posted was from years ago in the Philippines.
Speaker 1: There was something that I saw one of the last
Speaker 1: hurricanes where they showed the destruction at Disney World again
Speaker 1: this think, and I was like, oh my gosh, that's horrible.
Speaker 1: And then Nick Pauli o'channe goes, nah, that's from some
Speaker 1: old abandoned amusement park somewhere else from years ago. And
Speaker 1: it might be the same one that you're referring to.
Speaker 1: But you've got to be careful with that.
Speaker 3: Well you do that one. By the way, the Disney
Speaker 3: picture was if not created by then, at least amplified
Speaker 3: and put out there on social media by Russian state media.
Speaker 3: So what end who knows knows why they would do that. Well,
Speaker 3: part of it maybe this, you know, anything to undermine
Speaker 3: the country, right and to create division, because if people
Speaker 3: see these images, they see the little girl with the
Speaker 3: poppy in her arms, and or they see Disney World
Speaker 3: flooded out there, you know, and then they find out
Speaker 3: those images are fake, Suddenly you get very jaded. You
Speaker 3: don't want to help out.
Speaker 6: You say, forget it.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to donate. I'm giving them money away
Speaker 3: to nobody or to scammers.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: That's part of it, I think, is to sew this
Speaker 3: doubt and then sew division.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're talking about the AI images that are
Speaker 1: showing up on social media. Are those just making the
Speaker 1: rounds or are people trying to raise money off of them?
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, some of them apparently are being used for
Speaker 3: fundraising efforts, but not legitimate fundraising, you know. The yeah, right,
Speaker 3: FEMA's not going to put out images like that and
Speaker 3: try to raise money because that's not what FEMA does.
Speaker 3: And if you get an email from FEMA or a
Speaker 3: text saying please donate to FEMA so that we can
Speaker 3: help out storm victims, it's fake because that's not what
Speaker 3: they do. So let's say, of your own volition, you
Speaker 3: go online, you want to donate the Red Cross. That's
Speaker 3: a rapidable organization, right, So you jump on to American
Speaker 3: red Cross dot com and find a place there to
Speaker 3: make a donation. You send off fifty bucks. Well, your
Speaker 3: fifty bucks is gone because that's not even the real website.
Speaker 3: It's Redcross dot org. Right, You just have to do
Speaker 3: a little research, be a little vigilant, be slightly skeptical,
Speaker 3: but you know, try not to give into the inclination
Speaker 3: just and not help at all.
Speaker 1: Right, And you mentioned that like FEMA wouldn't reach out
Speaker 1: and try to get you to donate. Are there other
Speaker 1: like red flags to watch for?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, with any kind of scam, if you get
Speaker 3: an email or attached to you know, see where it's
Speaker 3: coming from. First of all, don't click anything inside there.
Speaker 3: But if it's coming from FEMA dot com or if
Speaker 3: the Federal Emergency Management Agency is a federal government agency,
Speaker 3: it would be dot gov first of all. I mean
Speaker 3: that's a tip off that this is fake, the of
Speaker 3: where it's coming from, because you really can't rely on Well,
Speaker 3: it's got the female logo there, it's got the logo
Speaker 3: on their email.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean anything anymore, No, it really doesn't.
Speaker 3: That stuff's easy to fake. It's troubling and you know,
Speaker 3: disheartening to see how this is working against people who
Speaker 3: have good intentions.
Speaker 1: Well, so with everything else, caveat mtur right, let the
Speaker 1: buyer or the donator in this case, beware watch out
Speaker 1: because they do need our helpt Oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. And you know the problem with all of
Speaker 3: this is that you get exhausted, right, first of all
Speaker 3: trying to backtrack and figure out if something is real,
Speaker 3: and then believing.
Speaker 6: That it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Jim Ryan, thank you so much for the information.
Speaker 1: As always, you're helping us not get scammed.
Speaker 6: I like that.
Speaker 3: That's all I can see.
Speaker 1: All right, I have a good day, see Amy. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hiring is to
Speaker 1: but applications are up. At the Los Angeles Police Department,
Speaker 1: officials told the Police Commission hiring is down eight percent
Speaker 1: in the last two years, mainly because of bottlenecks on
Speaker 1: background checks, but the number of people applying to become
Speaker 1: police officers is up by fifty three percent. There are
Speaker 1: currently just under eighty eight hundred LAPD officers. Ella County
Speaker 1: health officials say two more cases of dengay fever have
Speaker 1: been confirmed in the Baldwin Park area. They say the
Speaker 1: cases in Panorama City and Elmonte do not appear to
Speaker 1: be related to a cluster of three other cases that
Speaker 1: were found in the Baldwin Park area earlier this year.
Speaker 1: Officials say none of the local patients had any history
Speaker 1: of travel to areas where dengay is endemic. One more
Speaker 1: person has died in the multi state listeria outbreak link
Speaker 1: to Deli meets Connecticut. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal says he
Speaker 1: hopes the Agriculture Department's internal investigation will produce some answers.
Speaker 5: Not only the failings with respect to inspection of the
Speaker 5: boor's heads, but also more broadly, whether the United States
Speaker 5: Department Agriculture inspectors are doing the job.
Speaker 1: Federal health authorities say the number of people who have
Speaker 1: died from the outbreak is at least ten.
Speaker 11: Those seeds were flown around the moon.
Speaker 1: Wait, let me start that over again. In elementary school
Speaker 1: in Lake Forest is planted a Sequoia tree using seeds
Speaker 1: that were flown around the Moon. Now it's Chris's turn.
Speaker 11: Those seeds were flown around the Moon twice on NASA's
Speaker 11: Artemis one mission in twenty twenty two. Santiago's The Magnet
Speaker 11: School Parents, Stacy Aguest says the Moon tree will open
Speaker 11: up a world of science to the students.
Speaker 13: The montry will be the centerpiece for a future Moon
Speaker 13: garden and that will be student inspired and a place
Speaker 13: where students can learn about applied physics and also have
Speaker 13: an outdoor learning classroom.
Speaker 11: NASA says it's not clear whether space traveling seeds have
Speaker 11: any impact on tree growth, but it's still far out.
Speaker 11: Chris Adler, kaya FI.
Speaker 1: News moontree, love It Hey. The Dodgers take on the
Speaker 1: Mets tonight at Cityfield in New York. It's Game three
Speaker 1: of the National League Championship Series. The first pitch goes
Speaker 1: out at five eight and like me, if you had

Speaker 1: powered by Zenchi Sushi, Fast, fresh and easy Hey, wanted
Speaker 1: to say one other thing before we leave you. If
Speaker 1: you were watching the game the other night, when you know,
Speaker 1: the Mets beat the Dodgers, and you see Mary Hart
Speaker 1: like at every game because she's right there behind home plate,
Speaker 1: and you might have noticed that there were these two
Speaker 1: people wearing neon yellowish green tops standing in the row
Speaker 1: behind Mary Heart with these creepy smiles on their faces.
Speaker 1: And it was just weird, right, And there's pictures of
Speaker 1: it online if you want to go and search creepy
Speaker 1: smiling people. And I was like, what is that? Well,
Speaker 1: apparently it's a like a gorilla marketing for a new
Speaker 1: horror movie called Smile two, which I didn't even know
Speaker 1: there was Smile one, but they have shown up at
Speaker 1: other places for the first movie, and so they're thinking
Speaker 1: that that's what this was again, that it's gorilla marketing
Speaker 1: for Smile Too. And the sequel premieres later this week.
Speaker 1: Who knows if we'll see them again, but I will
Speaker 1: be watching behind home Plate tonight when the Dodgers and
