So much 14 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.640 fun to watch. We're getting our Olympic update from Paris 15 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.519 with ABC's Ennez de la Catera. That's coming up at 16 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.719 five twenty. Don't want to miss it. She's got some 17 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.239 great fun insights from Paris. Here's what's ahead on wake 18 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.200 Up Call. Two fires burning in the Inland Empire are growing. 19 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.120 A fire in Iguanga has burned more than forty nine 20 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.760 hundred acres now there are evacuation warnings up in the areas. 21 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.200 The fire burns in steep rugged terrain. Another fire has 22 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.200 broken out and is threatening homes in Apple Valley. That 23 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.879 fire started yesterday afternoon and has been fanned by winds. 24 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.560 It's zero percent surrounded. Hamasa's top political leader has been 25 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.280 killed in an airstrike in Tehran, Iran. The assassination of 26 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.159 Ismail Hanaya increases the risk of the conflict in the 27 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:08.039 Middle East escalating to an all out war. Iran's supreme 28 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:13.000 leader has vowed revenge against Israel, and I was in 29 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:17.000 Iran to attend the inauguration of the country's new president. 30 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.479 The FED is meeting today and could signal that it's 31 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.199 ready to lower interest rates for the first time in 32 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.039 four years. Inflation has been falling steadily, closer to the 33 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.199 fed's two percent target, and the job market has cooled, 34 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.560 with the jobless rate up about a half percent this year. 35 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.719 The rate cut could come at the fed's September meeting 36 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.400 at six oh five. It's handle on the news. The 37 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.039 director of the controversial Project twenty twenty five has stepped down. 38 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.479 Bill's going to tell you why. Let's get started with 39 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.400 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 40 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.199 four hour newsroom. LA County has weighed its options following 41 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.879 an executive order to remove homeless camps. 42 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.319 The Board of Supervisors talked about the issue for several 43 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.800 hours with homeless agencies, the Sheriff's Department, and County staff. 44 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:00.520 Supervisor. 45 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.520 Hilde Sally says it remains clear to her LA County 46 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.919 won't be able to arrest its way out of homelessness. 47 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:10.039 Our jails should never be used as an alternative for housing. 48 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.199 We've said that for many, many years on this board. 49 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.120 Instead, county leaders have said they will engage all eighty 50 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.240 eight cities on adopting uniform policy on homeless camps so 51 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.599 communities aren't left fighting with each other on what to 52 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.159 do in downtown La. 53 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.000 Michael Monks KFI. 54 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.319 News I Guaranteed Basic income program in LA that offered 55 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.879 one thousand dollars a month for a year to low 56 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.439 income families has been called a success by the city. 57 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.960 Participant Ashley Davis says it was life changing for her 58 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:37.800 and her son. 59 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.360 Times where I probably didn't know where the extra money 60 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.280 would come from, or if I had an emergency that 61 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.560 income helped me. I wasn't stressed about it like I 62 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:48.560 probably usually would be. 63 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.039 Two City Council members have pledged an additional two million 64 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.719 dollars to kickstart a second round of the program. In 65 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.400 the first year, thirty two hundred families were chosen out 66 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:01.000 of more than fifty thousand applicants. More than a half 67 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.240 dozen smash and grab robbers who hit stores across southern 68 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.599 California have been sentenced to years in prison. 69 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.520 Yeate We're given anywhere from one year to more than 70 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.719 ten year prison terms. Attorney General Rob Bonta says the 71 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.240 group stole more than one point five million dollars in 72 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.360 items from high end retailers in La County, Orange County, 73 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:18.480 and Riverside County. 74 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.879 It appears that the stolen goods were divided among those involved. 75 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.000 Five of the members are part of a viral mob 76 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.600 that ransacked the nord Strums at the Westfield to Penga 77 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.319 Mall and Canoga Park. A ninth person who took part 78 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.399 in the thefts last year is awaiting sentencing. Downtown La 79 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:36.079 Blake Trolly k if I News el. 80 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.600 Hamber police say somebody's been putting fake parking tickets on 81 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.879 cars around town. The tickets have a QR code on them, 82 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.240 and if it's scanned it leads to a malicious website 83 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.399 that officials say may end up with somebody having malware 84 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.439 downloaded onto their devices. The al Hamber Police Department says 85 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.120 the fake parking tickets don't look anything like the real 86 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.839 ones the city uses. Well, what a treat for us. 87 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.920 We get to talk to Rich d'murro early this morning. 88 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.240 It's the host of Rich on Tech on KFI and 89 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:11.040 KTLA Tech reporter Rich Jamiro. Rich, thanks for switching your 90 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.079 schedule up so we can get our Olympic updates this week. 91 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.399 Absolutely, I don't want to get in between those athletes 92 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:18.439 and their gold medals. 93 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.399 Oh no, who would? Isn't it fun? Are you watching 94 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:21.720 it all? 95 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.000 We've been watching a little bit. We've got the Peacock 96 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.399 service so we can watch you know, on demand, which 97 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:28.279 is kind of fun. 98 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:30.720 Except you know what, I have an issue with the 99 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.519 Peacock service because it's so hard to navigate that thing. 100 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.040 Oh yeah, yeah it is. 101 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.839 I want a list of what's coming up. I don't 102 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.040 want all the little icons that you have to search 103 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.600 around to find. It's really confusing to me. 104 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.439 Yeah, we found the same thing, So I feel like 105 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.839 the Olympics is always confusing, except when it was just 106 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:50.879 linear on TV, it just played, you know. 107 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.000 Yeah, but it's fun to be able to kind of 108 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:54.639 dip into some of the things that you might not 109 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:55.560 normally see too. 110 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.720 So yeah, like breakdancing or what was the thing? Yeah, 111 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:00.879 whatever I watched, it was like the new thing. 112 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.040 I haven't seen the break dancing yet. I watched a 113 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:04.360 little skateboarding the other day. 114 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:06.000 Yeah, see it's fun. 115 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:06.360 Yep. 116 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:12.759 Okay, So you have to tell us about California putting 117 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.759 car titles on the blockchain, and I would love to 118 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:17.000 know what that even means. 119 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.040 Yeah, no, it sounds really I mean, this is actually 120 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.600 pretty groundbreaking. So they're digitizing forty two million car titles 121 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.600 putting them on the blockchain. And if you're familiar with 122 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.839 the blockchain, this is basically like the foundation of bitcoin. 123 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.319 So the blockchain is sort of this like ledger online, 124 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.399 a ledger of record that anyone can see, anyone can verify. 125 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.720 And so the point of all of this is that 126 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.079 if you want to transfer your title, it's immediate and 127 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.279 you know, it might take two minutes versus going to 128 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.959 the DMV. There's less fraud because anyone can verify who 129 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.879 owns this title, and it's not a piece of paper anymore. 130 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:55.759 So you know that little pink slip that you get 131 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:57.800 that's your title. You got to remember where you put it. 132 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.360 You know. Now you could literally just have this on 133 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.839 an app and transfer it to someone. It's not going 134 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.839 to happen overnight. Still got a while before this actually 135 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.279 is going to be you know, consumer facing. But California 136 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.560 took the first step of digitizing those titles, and then 137 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.920 sometime next year we'll be able to actually access them 138 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.560 and claim them and use them. 139 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:23.319 Okay, So you know me by now, I'm always skeptical 140 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.560 of technology, and so you said it's going to be safer, 141 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:29.439 but doesn't it kind of open the door, Like what 142 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.319 if there's some big hack and somebody starts taking your titles? 143 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.920 Yeah? See, I actually trust this more than anything else 144 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.279 because it's on the blockchain, and the blockchain, I mean, 145 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.680 it's it's very complicated, but the blockchain is just basically 146 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.720 an open ledger that anyone can verify, so it's verified 147 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.680 by a network of computers. Like think about this. The 148 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.120 DMV has a server somewhere that stores information, right and 149 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.879 in this case, it's really just paperwork, So there's really 150 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.399 you have to go for a backup whatever. So by 151 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.360 the blockchain being you know, publicly available and publicly verifiable, 152 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.920 it means that this is kind of taking this into 153 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.319 the future. And I actually think it's safer than just 154 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:10.279 one system sitting in a basement somewhere storing all this information. 155 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:13.120 Now it's stored on the blockchain, which I think is 156 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.639 a huge move actually by California. 157 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.120 Okay, and it's not available right away, but be watching 158 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:18.439 for it. 159 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.319 Yeah. I think that this is a move for other 160 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:23.759 states to look at as well, to see how governments 161 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.480 can incorporate this new advanced technology into their systems to 162 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.279 make things more efficient for residents. 163 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:34.519 Okay, if you're feeling a little lonely, you can get 164 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:37.200 a friend for ninety nine dollars. 165 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:42.320 Yeah, this is so wild. You have to watch the video. 166 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:47.720 This is a new AI powered necklace called Friend. And 167 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:49.799 I don't know if this thing's a joke or real 168 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.000 or what, but it's ninety nine bucks. It's going to 169 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.240 ship next year. It literally just sits around your neck 170 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:59.679 listening to everything that's happening around you, and it sends 171 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.559 you to messages so you can talk to it. You 172 00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.919 can be like, wow, that was a great you know 173 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.480 thing I just watched in the Olympics and it'll be like, yeah, 174 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.039 don't you love skateboarders, Like it'll text you that. Yeah. 175 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.279 This is so wild. It was created by a twenty 176 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:17.759 one year old Avi Schiffman, and basically they said that 177 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:23.559 they wanted to cure loneliness and it's so wild. You 178 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:28.320 have to watch this this like this video they put 179 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.639 on there on their website, this Friend video. It's just it. Yeah, 180 00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:36.519 well it's actually the website is interesting because they they 181 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.679 bought the website friend dot com for like apparently like 182 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.200 a lot of money, like eighteen million dollars or something crazy, 183 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.639 So you can just go to friend dot com.

The LA Police Protective Lea 248 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.720 says the portion of the encounter seen on video is misleading, 249 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:50.360 lax context, and is being exploited by some for political reasons. 250 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:55.000 The man's family is suing. Eighty two suspected copper wire 251 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.600 thieves have been arrested after a massive raid in downtown La. 252 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.000 The LAPD says two one thousand pounds of stolen copper 253 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.399 wire was recovered. Copper wire theft has cost the city 254 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.320 tens of millions of dollars in repairs in recent years. 255 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.840 The City of La is giving restaurant owners more time 256 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.919 to apply for the city's Alfresco dining Program permit. Today 257 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.879 was supposed to be the last day for owners to 258 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.759 apply for the permits to be allowed to permanently offer 259 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.919 outdoor dining on sidewalks and streets and other spaces, but 260 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.919 Mayorbaths announced yesterday the new deadline is December thirty, first, 261 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:29.919 at six oh five. It's handle on the news. The 262 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.759 acting head of the Secret Service kept it simple. He says, 263 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.279 secret Service screwed up. Right now, let's say good morning 264 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:43.360 to Inez de la Katera in Ferry Bojouriness. 265 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:48.440 Oh sure, we did it, we did it. 266 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.519 We did it. Yeah, okay, and we got it. And 267 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:57.519 we're talking about the women's gymnastics team and you were 268 00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:59.840 there for it. You got to see it in person. 269 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.600 I did it was absolutely amazing. I did have to 270 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.759 leave halfway through, sadly I had live shots to get too, 271 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:10.399 but I did catch the first half, so I got 272 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:14.240 to see vaults and uneven bars and it was absolutely 273 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:18.360 electric in there. It was BacT with kid flags everywhere 274 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.879 anywhere you looked. And when they walked out, you know, 275 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:23.080 into the room at the start of the competition, the 276 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:26.279 crowd went absolutely wild. So you know, it was really 277 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.679 fun to see that the crowd going even crazier, of 278 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.960 course than they actually won the gold. So yeah, really 279 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.879 a fun vibe here in Paris for the women's all 280 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.039 around final in gymnastics. 281 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:40.759 So cool and the best part of all of that. Okay, 282 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:42.480 the best part is the gold, but the second best 283 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.240 part is there so much more gymnastics to come. We're 284 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.080 not done with gymnastics yet. 285 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:48.559 That's right. 286 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.639 Yeah, We've got a lot, a lot more to look 287 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.559 forward to. So the men, of course, just won the 288 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.679 bronze tm USA, the women winning the gold. We now 289 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.559 have the individual competitions to look ahead to. So this is, 290 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.320 you know, individual athletes coming face to face. The men's 291 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.240 happening tonight for the all around. The women's will be 292 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.639 I believe it's tomorrow, and that one's going to be 293 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.279 especially interesting to watch because you've got Simon Biles up 294 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.200 against Sony Lee's so they are two all around champions, 295 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.000 both coming face to face, both from from tm USA, 296 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.320 so that's the first time that's happened. Another one to 297 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.600 watch during that competition will be Rebecca and Rade, the 298 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.240 Brazilian who is a total star as well, and she's 299 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.799 the only one who really has a chance of challenging 300 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.240 Simoon here who is favored to win the gold. So 301 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.200 that's going to be an interesting matchup. It will be 302 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.720 interesting to see how they challenge each other. 303 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:36.559 Yeah, okay, and as now I have a question for you, 304 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:38.240 since you were there and you got to see it 305 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.639 and feel it and all of that. Are the other 306 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.679 teams having fun or are they just like going, oh God, 307 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:48.200 here comes the US. I mean, what what what does 308 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:49.279 that feel like to say it? 309 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.720 So, I love fan base that was there as well, 310 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.840 and they were they were very loud. They were maybe 311 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:56.559 you know, there were fewer of them, but they were 312 00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.919 certainly very loud. The Brazilians you knew where the Brazilian 313 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.360 fans were, and they're very, very good as well, So 314 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:02.960 I think they were having fun. They had a bit 315 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.559 of a scary moment where one of their as one 316 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.320 of their gymnasts, injured herself during warm ups and she 317 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:13.360 actually saw that black guy she yeah. 318 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.679 Off the uneven bars and like they were doing something 319 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.440 and she was in the background and you went, oh 320 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.200 my god, she just yep, and it happens. 321 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.080 Yeah, she split her eyebrow open. Yeah yeah, but she 322 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.919 powered through, you know, and they still did well. They 323 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.720 I mean, it was exciting for them. They won the 324 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.320 bronze here and this was the first time they've ever medled. 325 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:34.399 They typically finished last in competitions, so it was really 326 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:37.559 a historic night for them as well, and Italy getting 327 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.519 their first podium since nineteen twenty eight. They got the silver, 328 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.440 so they did well and then you know, I mean everyone, 329 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.720 it's crazy to go. I had never been to a 330 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.120 competition like this, and that they're competing on all the 331 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.759 different you know, rotations at the same time, so you've 332 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.960 got you know, Brazil was on uneven bars, you know, 333 00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.519 say their poor routine, while someone else was doing the beams, 334 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.639 so there's so much going on all at once, and yeah, 335 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:03.279 it's really fun. 336 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:05.759 I think one of the most amazing things is when 337 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.640 ever the crowd's going wild when somebody comes off the 338 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.400 uneven parallel bars or or they finish a floor routine 339 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:15.119 and everybody goes crazy, and then there's somebody up there 340 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.519 on a four inch beam doing backflips. I'm like, how 341 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.599 do you tune out everything to stay on that beach? 342 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:27.480 It's amazing, exactly, exactly, No, it's really incredible, and as 343 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:29.680 a viewer you're not really sure where to look, but 344 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.200 it was, it was. It was really cool, continuous say, 345 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:35.119 you know, this is their big redemption after the Tokyo Olympics, 346 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:37.200 where they won silver. They had been favored to win 347 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:39.079 the gold. They won silver, which is still amazing, but 348 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:41.839 they had their site set on gold, so they had 349 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.920 called this their redemption Tour and they certainly didn't disappoint. 350 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:48.519 Their floor routines were amazing. All three of them had 351 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.799 very dynamic, stunning routines. Someone Biles pulling off her move 352 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.400 Toning Lee did something that was, you know, even more 353 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.960 complicated than than the routine she she did for qualification. 354 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:01.839 So she really outdid herself. 355 00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:03.160 It was so fun to watch, and I have it 356 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:05.559 recorded so I can watch it again and again. Okay, 357 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:09.000 a little bit of a shocker. Our flag bearer Coco 358 00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:10.519 Golf is out. 359 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:13.440 I know, such a bummer. I'm a big Cocoa golf band, 360 00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:16.319 so I was a bit bummed. Yet she so she 361 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:18.119 was one of our flag bearers that were high hopes 362 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.960 for her. She was eliminated from the women's single portion 363 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:24.279 of the of the Games. She was defeated in the 364 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:27.039 third round by Donna Beckich of Croatia, and she kind 365 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:28.519 of lost her cool. At one point she had a 366 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:32.200 lengthy argument with the umpire over a call. She was 367 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.640 clearly getting more and more frustrated she was in tears 368 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:36.279 by the end of it, and she later said she 369 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.000 feels she always has to advocate for herself on the 370 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:42.799 tennis court, so you know, that was a disappointment.
