We're 12 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:53.920 not gonna be election certified until December third. But there 13 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.359 are some winners and there are some losers, and we're 14 00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:58.280 going to get to that as we move through wake 15 00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.479 Up Call and hopefully get you some good entertaining things 16 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.879 and just think, no more election ads.

Here's what's ahead on wake up Call. 20 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.319 Donald Trump has been elected the forty seventh president of 21 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.040 the United States and will become just the second president 22 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.359 in US history to serve non consecutive terms. The Senate 23 00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.799 has flipped. Republicans have picked up a couple of seats. 24 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.799 Votes for the House are still being counted. It appears 25 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.359 the Democrats could take back control of that chamber, but 26 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:42.000 again still too early to say. Proposition thirty six, which 27 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.680 will toughend penalties for repeat thieves, smash and grab robbers, 28 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.840 and drug offenses, is passing with seventy percent support from voters. 29 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.760 Election results, again in California, won't be certified until December third. 30 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.319 The markets are reacting to the presidential election. Dow futures 31 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.879 have jumped more than twelve hundred points three percent, NASDAK 32 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.519 futures are up nearly two percent, and S and P 33 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.520 futures are up two point two percent. Let's get started 34 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.159 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI 35 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.719 twenty four hour newsroom. Former President Trump has one Wisconsin 36 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.879 and the two hundred and seventy electoral votes needed to 37 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.280 win the presidential race. The Associated Press declared Trump the 38 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.680 winner early this morning, with two hundred and seventy seven 39 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.520 Electoral College votes to Vice President Harris's two hundred and 40 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.840 twenty four. Trump appeared before a crowd of supporters overnight 41 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.080 in Florida this is. 42 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:35.280 A magnificent victory for the American people that will allow 43 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.000 us to make America great again. 44 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.360 Trump called it the greatest political movement of all time 45 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.439 and vowed to keep his campaign promises. The economy and 46 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.400 immigration were his biggest issues. Vice President Harris did not 47 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.840 speak to supporters at her Alma monitor in Washington, d C. 48 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.280 As previously planned. 49 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.240 You won't hear from the Vice President tonight. 50 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.319 Has campaign co chair Cedric Richmond addressed the crowd last night, 51 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.360 saying there were still votes to count. 52 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.080 We still have states that have not been called yet. 53 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.159 We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that 54 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.919 every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken. 55 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.159 Some supporters were in tears as they left the event. 56 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.479 Richmond says Harris will be back at Howard University to 57 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.400 speak today. Nathan Hackman has defeated George Gascon in the 58 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.360 race for La County District Attorney. 59 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.719 More than five hundred people showed up here at Hawkman's 60 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.360 watch party in Beverly Hills. His son spoke first, followed 61 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.439 by his wife, then brother who introduced him. 62 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.520 Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to bring up what I 63 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.240 know will be the next district attorney of Los Angeles County. 64 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.759 Let's hear it from my brother, Nathan Hackman. 65 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.400 The crowd Tuesday night was filled with a lot of 66 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:56.360 current former prosecutors from the DA's office, along with first responders, donors, volunteers, 67 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.520 and victims of crime. In Beverly Hill, Steve Gregory, King 68 00:03:59.560 --> 00:03:59.759 of I. 69 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.560 Knew Akman got more than sixty one percent of the vote. 70 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.520 Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff is one election to the US Senate. 71 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.840 He meet former Dodgers player Steve Garvey. With more than 72 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.000 fifty seven percent of the vote, shift will fill the 73 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.720 Senate seat long held by the late Senator Dianne Feinstein. 74 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.759 Republicans have taken control of the US Senate. The unexpected 75 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.759 battleground state of Nebraska pushed Republicans over the top. Late yesterday, 76 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.800 Democratic efforts to hold on to their Senate majorities slipped 77 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.480 further out of reach when Democratic Senator Shared Brown in 78 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:36.680 Ohio lost his re election race to Republican Bernie Moreno earlier, 79 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.319 Republicans picked up a seat in West Virginia. Let's say 80 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.120 good morning to ABC's Mike Debuski and Mike. I have 81 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.759 to tell you and tell wake up call listeners that 82 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.199 ABC sends out their availability for what ABC reporters are 83 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.439 going to be available to us, and then I sometimes 84 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.040 I sketch out some questions because I have an idea 85 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.079 what I'm going to ask you. And and here's what 86 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:05.160 I wrote, Mike, is in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, arguably the 87 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.079 most important state in the election. How are things shaping up? 88 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.040 I wrote that before I went to bed last night. 89 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.680 Yeah, well, they've shaped up in the sense that Pennsylvania 90 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.639 has been called for Donald Trump. This is, you know, 91 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.399 a state that went for Joe Biden by a darrow 92 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.360 margin about four and a half percent in twenty twenty, 93 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.040 and it obviously went for Donald Trump in twenty sixteen. 94 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.279 In both twenty sixteen and this time around seen as 95 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.120 kind of the critical state here with nineteen electoral votes. 96 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.639 This was not exactly the states that put Donald Trump 97 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.040 over that two hundred and seventy electoral vote number that 98 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.399 we were looking for. That was Wisconsin really kind of 99 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.680 late into the night early morning hours for SCR on 100 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.879 the East coast. But yeah, Pennsylvania, you know, kind of 101 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.519 was one of the key factors here and a key 102 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.600 part of the blue wall that Democrats really needed to 103 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.959 win that, you know, three state series of Pennsylvania, mission 104 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:04.959 and Wisconsin. Given our latest tallies here, ABC News is 105 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.199 projecting that Donald Trump is going to win Pennsylvania, as 106 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.439 I said, going to win Wisconsin, and we don't have 107 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.759 a projection for Michigan yet, but there's certainly a lot 108 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:13.519 of red there as well. 109 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.279 Okay, and Mike, they they got these votes counted pretty quickly. 110 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:19.879 I know that we had talked earlier about we might 111 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.399 not know for days, maybe not for a week, but 112 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.160 everything seemed to run pretty smoothly yesterday. 113 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.120 Yeah, I mean we knew the Pennsylvania results. I mean 114 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.000 we were up late, of course, but we would have 115 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.279 been anyway. But you know, it did not take the 116 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.480 days long period of time that you know, some were indicating. 117 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.560 The local elections officials say that they put a lot 118 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.680 of work into making sure that the process went a 119 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.040 lot more smoothly this time around. Obviously, four years ago, 120 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.600 we were waiting five days for an election result out 121 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.560 of Pennsylvania. The Saturday after Election Day, in fact, was 122 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.800 when we learned that Pennsylvania went for Joe Biden. Certainly 123 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.319 not the case this time around. We had a result 124 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.639 in the morning, but it was was certainly not into 125 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:06.399 the you know Wednesday midday or even Thursday that some 126 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.240 were predicting. You know, part of that might be the 127 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.920 fact that elections officials kind of short up made sure 128 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.000 that the machines were running properly, they had more machines, 129 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.720 that they had better tabulation systems to make sure that 130 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.120 this process went quickly. Part of this might also be 131 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.279 the fact that this is a pretty decisive win for 132 00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.519 Donald Trump. I would say, I'm right here in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. 133 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:29.639 It is a crucial sort of suburb of Philadelphia. Obviously 134 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.519 that is a Democratic stronghold. But here in Bucks County, 135 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.360 this is you know, the first time we've seen this 136 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:39.160 particular county turn red since nineteen eighty eight. You have 137 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.839 to go back to the nineteen eighty eight George hw 138 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.639 Bush and Michael Dukaka's election to final last time that 139 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.279 Bucks County voted red. But you know, in interviewing elections, 140 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:50.800 it has been very very close, you know, by a 141 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:55.040 margin of just a few percentage points if if that so, Yeah, 142 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.079 it is, you know, multiple factors left to be sort 143 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.720 of uncovered this morning and figuring figuring out exactly you know, 144 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.199 how certain sections voted, and you know, certainly some votes 145 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.000 left to be counted, but you know, news projecting that 146 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.120 Donald Trump is one Pennsylvania and pretty decisively. 147 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.519 Okay, and Mike, you just mentioned what I was going 148 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.720 to ask you about, whether it's too early to tell 149 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:19.079 kind of what made the difference and what you know 150 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:22.920 caused that. We know that the more urban and some 151 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.879 of the suburban areas tend to vote more democratic, the 152 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:32.279 more rural areas tend to go more Republican. But what 153 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:33.039 was the shift? 154 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:38.519 What made yeah? I mean, look, so Pennsylvania is basically 155 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.200 a big square if you think about it in your mind, 156 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.039 and there's kind of two Democratic strongholds on either side 157 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.919 of the state. That's Philadelphia in the east, in Pittsburgh 158 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.080 in the west, and of course they're sort of surrounding 159 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.440 suburban areas. In the middle of the state, it's relatively rural. 160 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.320 That's where Harrisburg is the state capital, and those have 161 00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:59.799 traditionally been deep red counties, whereas you know, democrats strategy 162 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.159 had been to just drive up turnout in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh 163 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.759 and the surrounding suburbs and surrounding counties there. Clearly that 164 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.799 didn't happen at least to the degree that Democrats were 165 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:15.759 expecting and Republicans ultimately ended up kind of taking Pennsylvania. 166 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:19.080 It is a relatively you know, close race. I'm not 167 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:23.120 going to say it's you know, certainly you know, not 168 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.399 a blowout, no, no, a couple of points here, but 169 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.519 even still, you know, you know, this is enough for 170 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.399 ABC News to call a matter of you know, several 171 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:36.159 hundred thousand votes here, or actually I should say just 172 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:40.240 under two hundred thousand votes. So yeah, it's a pretty 173 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.600 you know, decisive win for Republicans, and you see that 174 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.000 kind of reflected down the ballot as well. We've had 175 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.720 a pretty high profile Senate race take place here in 176 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:51.360 Pennsylvania between Dave McCormick, or Republican former hedge fund manager, 177 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:55.600 and Bob Casey, the incumbent Democratic senator who's represented Pennsylvania 178 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.919 as a Democrat since two thousand and six. Right now, 179 00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.720 we haven't called the race yet, but it's a matter 180 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.240 of percentage point and Dave McCormick is in the lead. 181 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.600 It's also reflected in several kind of closed house races 182 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:06.000 as well. 183 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.519 And did you get a chance yesterday while you were 184 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.360 cruising around Bucks County to talk to any of the voters. 185 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.840 Yeah, I did. And you know, we have some exit 186 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.399 polling ABC News has put out there about sort of 187 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.879 national sentiment and what things that voters had in mind 188 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.200 when they were voting. The big issues this election cycle. 189 00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:28.759 One of them democracy protecting democracy was at the top 190 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.720 of this exit poll. Next to that was the economy. 191 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.759 Then a little further down the list was abortion and immigration. 192 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.799 And Amy, I have to tell you that absolutely showed 193 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:40.440 up on the ground here in Pennsylvania. JD. Vance held 194 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.080 an event at the Newtown Athletic Clubs about ten minutes 195 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.600 from where I'm sitting right now, and talking to Trump voters. 196 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.759 Going into that event, they were saying that, Hey, I'm 197 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.120 voting on the election, right, or excuse me, I'm voting 198 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:55.039 on the economy. I'm concerned about wages, I'm concerned about inflation, 199 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:58.919 I'm concerned about the Biden administration's economic policies. And you know, 200 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.879 clearly that was an to sway voters here in Pennsylvania 201 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.480 and here in Bucks County.

I was there talking to voters who are 206 00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:17.159 walking into that event. Amy. I couldn't find a single 207 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.559 person who did not list abortion and women's rights issues 208 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.840 at the top of the issues that mattered to them. 209 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:24.320 This election cycle. 210 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.120 Interesting, all right.

The LAPD says it's investigating several Jewish 238 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:46.679 owned businesses being vandalized in the Pico Robertson neighborhood. Officers 239 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:49.919 responded to calls of potential hate crimes on Pico Boulevard 240 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.000 yesterday morning. Belisse A businesses were vandalized with graffiti and 241 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.720 possible bullet holes.

Wildfire risk will be elevated through tomorrow. 251 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.840 Former President Trump will be President Trump again. He's got 252 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:36.720 two hundred and seventy seven electoral votes so far. Several 253 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:39.679 states are still counting votes. Vice President Harris has two 254 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.120 twenty four. Trump is leading with the so called Blue 255 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:47.559 Wall states. He won Georgia, also Pennsylvania, which was considered 256 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.080 a key state to win the White House. Challenger Isibal 257 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:55.200 Harado appears headed to victory over incumbent Kevin dally On 258 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:57.919 for the District fourteen seat on the La City Council. 259 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.279 Incumbent Heather hot holds a twenty five point lead over 260 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.799 Grace You to hold on to her tenth district seat, 261 00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:12.600 and former Assemblyman a dream of oh Gosh Azarian has 262 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.559 a seventeen point lead over Gillian Burgos.

The Archdiocese says the 268 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.240 mass who's open to the public on a first come, 269 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.399 first serve basis, and there's also a public viewing area 270 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.320 on the cathedral plaza. Let's say good morning to the 271 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.360 host of rich on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech 272 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.240 reporter Rich de Muro. Good morning, Rich. 273 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:50.759 Hey, good morning to you Amy. 274 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.559 Okay, so it looks like Elon Musk's gamble on Trump 275 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.559 pays off. Trump called him a super genius last night. 276 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.919 Yeah, he did. And just in general, when you take 277 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:04.039 a look at the tech industry when it comes to Trump, 278 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.320 they may not like him, but they probably do like 279 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.000 his policies. So when we look at the tech industry, 280 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.440 much of it supported Kamala Harris. Employees of Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, 281 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.679 Microsoft all donated millions of dollars to the Harris campaign. 282 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.679 Not so much to Trump, but his policies. When it 283 00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:28.240 comes to crypto, he supports it. When it comes to 284 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:32.960 AI regulation, Trump obviously lighter touch on that, wants more 285 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.519 innovation there. And when it comes to mergers and acquisitions, 286 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:39.440 Trump is much more likely. A Trump administration much more 287 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.919 likely to give more green lights, which is something that's 288 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:47.080 been very, very tough. We've seen several major failures in 289 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:51.159 mergers in recent years due to the FTC when it 290 00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.919 comes to tech company, so it'll be interesting to see. 291 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.759 But Musk, obviously one of the biggest supporters of Trump, 292 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.000 bought X, used X as his platform to support Trump, 293 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.000 and it paid off because now it looks like Elon 294 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:09.360 Musk is gonna be part of this new organization, the 295 00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.600 Department of Government Efficiency DOGE, which, of course, if you 296 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:16.559 know is a is a cryptocurrency kind of meme coin 297 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.799 out there. Yeah, exactly, I mean. 298 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.080 I invested in that. It's worth about two cents. 299 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.360 I was going to say, so hopefully the Department of 300 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:27.440 Government Efficiency will be better than that, because that kind 301 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.320 of turned out to be a joke. But yeah, we 302 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.480 saw Trump or sorry, Elon Musk tweeted. I mean he 303 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:35.519 was obviously at the event last night. Like you said, 304 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.279 Trump called him a super genius, and then he tweeted 305 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:42.639 Musk Elon Musk tweeted a picture of himself carrying the 306 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:46.039 kitchen sink, the one from the Twitter merger, and he said, 307 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.360 you know, imagine this, I let that sink in. I 308 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.559 think that's what he said. Okay, get it. 309 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:54.720 Yeah, I got it. I got it. I got it. 310 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:59.519 And then the former president's election or is it a 311 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.240 re election and now apparently is voting well for bitcoin. 312 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:08.200 Yeah, because here's the deal. So bitcoin has been generally 313 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.119 up over the past year. I think it's been up 314 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:14.799 about fifteen percent overall. But obviously Trump winning. Trump has 315 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.440 been sort of a supporter. No one really knows what 316 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:19.559 to do with bitcoin at this point in kind of 317 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:22.640 the government scheme of things, but Trump, when it comes 318 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.119 to government officials, has definitely been much more supportive of 319 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.759 cryptocurrency than anyone else out there, and so obviously people 320 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.000 that are in bitcoin, bitcoin believers think that this will 321 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.799 be a good thing for the cryptocurrency and digital currency 322 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:39.119 in general. Of course, we don't know what Trump will 323 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:41.319 do with this or how he'll take it, but we 324 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:46.880 feel like the regulations will probably be more in bitcoin's favor. 325 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.680 Right with a Trump as president. So seventy five k, right, 326 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.640 It reached a seventy five K high overnight. In general, 327 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.519 Bitcoin is just trending really well this morning. So we're 328 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:00.720 at seventy three thousand and six one hundred and ninety 329 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:05.480 two per coin, which is up seven percent just today alone. 330 00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:07.720 So people are bullish on this. 331 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:13.839 Okay, So let's move off to stuff other than the election. 332 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:15.279 Oh, is there anything? 333 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:22.039 Well, yes, because the world still moves on. Amazon has 334 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.240 drones and it has approval to fly them, but not 335 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:26.960 here yet in Arizona. 336 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:29.759 What's going on with that Arizona? So they got approval 337 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.720 for their new drone, the MK thirty. This is their 338 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.240 delivery drone which they're going to launch in Arizona, and 339 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.480 so it's smaller, quieter than previous models. Apparently people didn't 340 00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:41.039 like how loud the other one was. It can fly 341 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.119 in light rain, it's got double the range of earlier versions, 342 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:48.240 and the FAA gave it approval for deliveries that are 343 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.759 beyond the visual line of sight. So a lot of 344 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:52.599 these drones they have to have someone kind of controlling 345 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.759 it and seeing where it goes. That's no longer necessary. 346 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:59.440 So this is going to start in Tolsten, Arizona. 347 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:00.839 Is that a little town. 348 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.400 I'm guessing I've never heard of it me either, but 349 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:06.920 it's near Phoenix, so there's a warehouse out there. You know. 350 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:09.599 Amazon doesn't typically build their warehouses in the middle of 351 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.720 big cities because obviously that's very expensive, so they put 352 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.799 them just outside, like here in La it's like mostly 353 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.680 in San Bernardino area. So yeah, we'll see. I mean, look, 354 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.720 this is something that I'll never forget watching sixty Minutes. 355 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:23.680 I think it was ten years ago at this point 356 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:27.000 where Jeff Bezos went on and showed off this drone 357 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.680 exclusively to sixty Minutes and said, this is the future 358 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.319 of delivery. And by the way, it's been ten years 359 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:35.400 and it is not been an easy road because turns 360 00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:38.599 out putting people in trucks on streets is much easier 361 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.599 and faster, and we all know how efficient Amazon delivery 362 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.680 is already. 363 00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:47.440 Yeah. I just think if drones start hitting the skies, 364 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.519 I mean, imagine how many there's going to be just 365 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:50.960 buzzing around all the time. 366 00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.000 Yeah, it just it doesn't seem like it could be 367 00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:57.759 a very efficient way of delivering things like in theory. Yes, okay, 368 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:00.599 you're delivering like a package to someone's house, passing all 369 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.960 the traffic. But in reality, they are doing so many 370 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.640 deliveries on a daily basis. How in the world can 371 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:08.599 you have this many drones? And by the way, these 372 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.319 drones probably can't hold more than one or two deliveries 373 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.279 of it, right. 374 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:13.880 So they're going back and forth and back and forth. 375 00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:16.000 And like if Amazon has a warehouse, like you said, 376 00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.640 out in the Inland Empire, they have to go back 377 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:20.200 and forth and back and forth all the time. 378 00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:22.359 Yeah, but you know, this is not the only company 379 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:24.559 that's trying to do this. You've got Walmart that's trying it. 380 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:27.920 You've got Alphabet, you know Google's parent company. They've got 381 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.480 something called Wing that's trying it. You've got ups that's 382 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.079 trying it. I mean, everyone wants to try to see 383 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:35.640 if we can have a more efficient delivery method. But 384 00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:37.519 I think this is going to be a very long 385 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:40.359 road because it just it doesn't make a lot of 386 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:45.039 sense in maybe in urban places, but especially I don't know, 387 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:47.359 we'll see what happens. I mean, there's some smart people 388 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.559 working on this, but it's taken ten years. 389 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:51.799 Arizona's kind of cutting edge on this kind of stuff. 390 00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:53.839 I remember when I was there years ago and they 391 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:57.359 were already they had robocars buzzing around when nobody else did. 392 00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:00.880 Yeah, Arizona is very favorable to this kind of So 393 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.000 it is California, actually, I mean they've been. California has 394 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:06.319 actually been pretty favorable to the self driving car situation. 395 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.079 You see it here, you see it there in Nevada 396 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:13.079 as well, so we'll see this stuff is progressing. 397 00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:15.839 Yeah, I don't think I've seen a self driving car 398 00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:17.880 in California yet. 399 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:19.599 In La the way most they're everywhere. 400 00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:20.680 I've never seen one. 401 00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.759
