I totally blame it on Deborah Mark. 21 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:27.760 I traveled around the world. I don't think I got 22 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:29.400 it from the plane. I think I got it from Deborah. 23 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.959 It's a tough one to call. It is tough to 24 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:33.280 talk about she's a mess right now. 25 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:34.040 But you also did. 26 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.400 Travel, and have you ever done this where you know 27 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.920 how you just feel a little punky and like it's 28 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.120 almost like you have extra gravity when you're walking around 29 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.439 you Today everything feels a little heavy and like, you know, 30 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.799 you just don't have that spring in your step.

And I was in bed 33 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.040 by seven thirty and I get up at two thirty, 34 00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.920 So that's that's that would have been seven hours right, good? Yeah, Yeah. 35 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.319 Then I woke up at nine thirty, and I woke 36 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.000 up at ten thirty, of course. Then I woke up 37 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.840 at eleven thirty, of course.

I hate when that happens. 41 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.159 Like I was, like, I was so excited because I 42 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.639 got to bed early.

ABC NEWSS Governor 47 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.919 Newsom's changed a hearing scheduled for June thirteenth from a 48 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.560 clemency to a parole board hearing, which could speed up 49 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.479 the process for release. If a parole board recommends release, 50 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.800 the governor still needs to approve it for the Brothers. 51 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.479 Community leaders have called for the creation of a two 52 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.080 hundred million dollar fund to help fire survivors now to 53 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.599 Dina stay in their community. At a rally yesterday, officials 54 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.400 said they need the state's help to keep real estate 55 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.199 speculators from swooping in and forcing longtime residents out. A 56 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:56.840 report shows almost of the ninety four properties sold since 57 00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.840 the fire in January, almost half have been bought by 58 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.560 corporate investors. Russia and Ukraine are scheduled to sit down 59 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.039 for face to face meetings for the first time in 60 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.919 three years to talk about ending the three year old war. 61 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.520 President Putin and President Zelensky are not there for it. 62 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.639 The two countries meeting in Turkey will be represented by 63 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.560 lower levered level delegations.

It could be dangerous. 69 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.879 ABC's Jim Ryan is going to join us in just 70 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:38.719 a couple of minutes to tell us about the challenge 71 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.000 that has gone viral around the US.

That's at 76 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.479 the bottom of the hour, and then Saturday Night Live 77 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.520 wraps up its fiftieth season. Paul Rudd is cringe worthy. 78 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.840 We'll find out if that's a good thing.

That's all coming up 81 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.639 with ABC's Wielgans at the top of the right before 82 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.759 the top of the hour, right around five fifty, let's 83 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.199 get started with some of the stories coming out of 84 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.159 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. LA County has purchased 85 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.439 and wiped clean around one hundred and eighty three million 86 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.160 dollars in residence medical debt. 87 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.680 The county decided last year that it would buy medical 88 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.279 debt cheaply and forgive it. They say it would stop 89 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.600 residents from falling prey to aggressive debt collectors. Supervisor Jennis 90 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.319 Hahn says the clean slate is clean. It won't be 91 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.879 classified as income, it won't be tax and doesn't have 92 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:35.720 to be paid back. 93 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:41.480 And most importantly, this debt relief comes with no strings attached. 94 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.399 One hundred and thirty four thousand low income residents will 95 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.399 receive notice of the debt wipeout. County residents oh more 96 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:51.279 than two billion dollars in medical debt. Michael Monks KFI News. 97 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.600 The state Assembly has passed to bill that makes it 98 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.839 a felony in California to buy a sixteen or seventeen 99 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.279 year old for sex. Several demic We're against the provision 100 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.399 in AB three seven nine, but Assembly Member Carl Demyo 101 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.040 says public pressure forced them to cave. The bill now 102 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:12.000 heads to the state Senate. Seventeen family members of Joaquin 103 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.800 El Chapo Guzman's son have been given protection in the US. 104 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.519 The family crossed into the US at the O Tai 105 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:22.199 Mesa Port of entry. Recently, El Chapo's son a video, 106 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.759 replaced his father as the head of the Sineloa cartel 107 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:25.920 before he was captured. 108 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.720 This is definitely a very unique situation. 109 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.959 You know, the son who's in prison. I'll talk, but 110 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:31.199 you need to protect my family. 111 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.000 Attorney Caesar Luna says Guzman is changing his plea and 112 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.800 will likely testify against other cartel leaders, which is why 113 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:39.879 his family needed to get out of Mexico. They are 114 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.279 currently in protective custody. A judge in La has denied 115 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.680 a request for a restraining order to keep La Zoo 116 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.680 officials from moving two elephants to Tulsa, Oklahoma. A man 117 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.120 who lives in La had filed for the order, and 118 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.240 an emergency hearing was held yesterday. The man's lawyer, Melissa Lerner, 119 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.680 says the judge's ruling was largely on the basis that 120 00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.959 the issue should be taken up with the city council 121 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:00.759 and the mayor. 122 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:06.279 And frankly, the judge encouraged the public to reach out 123 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.959 to their city council members and to mayribas to tell 124 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.639 them that this is unconscionable and unacceptable. 125 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:14.600 The director of the La Zoo has said Billy and 126 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.560 Tina will be moved as soon as they're ready. Activists 127 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.000 don't want them to go to the zoo in Oklahoma. 128 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:22.759 They say it's not good enough. They say that they 129 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:27.000 would be better off at a sanctuary in Tennessee. Let's 130 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.800 now check in with ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, we 131 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.319 got another TikTok challenge, and this one's not like the 132 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.759 ice bucket challenge. This one is potentially pretty dangerous. 133 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:41.160 Yes, there's nothing positive about this one at all. Nobody 134 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.000 knows where it started. Nobody knows when it started or 135 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.079 who's responsible for it. But all over the country, kids 136 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.079 have been putting metal objects into the USB ports of 137 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.319 their laptops. Chromebooks are the ones that so many school 138 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.240 districts are using now issuing to their kids, and that's 139 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.639 why this is called the chrome book challenge. 140 00:06:58.680 --> 00:06:58.959 Jamie. 141 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.639 Yeah, and once you shove a metal object in there, 142 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:09.959 there's a spark Lithian Yeah, spark fire smoke. Schools evacuated, 143 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.959 you know, and the fire department shows up. Well, yeah, 144 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.680 the kid and very often these kids are posting video 145 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.759 of themselves doing this. This is sort of the point 146 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:19.120 of the whole thing to get a little bit of 147 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.680 Internet fame. Well, they're also finding themselves in some cases 148 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.639 facing serious criminal charges. Thirteen year old girl on Long 149 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.199 Beach thirteen was arrested last week after she apparently took 150 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.120 part in this. She's a middle schooler at Lidsey Academy 151 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.319 and it's accused now of setting her laptop on fire. 152 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.600 Well, this is wrong on so many friends because one, 153 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.680 it's not their top, it's not their own property, that's 154 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.480 school property, right that the chromebooks are issued to the students. Yeah, 155 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:53.399 so one, you're destroying somebody else's property. And then the 156 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.560 chromebooks have lithium batteries in them, don't they right, Okay, 157 00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.959 so that makes a whole other issue very difficult. 158 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.199 This is why you can't carry a lithium ion battery 159 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.160 and your checked luggage because if that thing catches fire 160 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:10.240 in the cargo hold of a plane, there are serious problems, 161 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.199 hard to fight very smoky, toxic smoke from this thing. 162 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.959 And yeah, you're looking at your laptop doing the same thing. 163 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.759 So yeah, there are our health consequences potentially, then the 164 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.759 danger of having a fire sitting there. You know, there's 165 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.120 nothing good about this one. 166 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.480 Yeah, and so you said that the thirteen year old 167 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:32.559 in Long Beach, I do remember we mentioned that. So 168 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.120 do you think they're going to actually charge her? Are 169 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.000 they trying to scare her? Do we know yet? 170 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.600 I think she might face some charge. I mean they're 171 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.480 juvenile charges, but it is it's serious. 172 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:43.200 You know. 173 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:47.240 And the damage in that case out there at Long 174 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.759 Beach was isolated to the chromebook itself. But the parents, 175 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.679 at the very least they're gonna have to pay for 176 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.320 the chromebook that was destroyed. And you're finding this all 177 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.759 over the country. The damage for this is it's the 178 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.720 responsibility to the parents, whether it's the laptop, the desk, 179 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.159 the floor, they you know, the fire department coming out. 180 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.639 So this is not just a trivial thing. And kids 181 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:09.279 need to know that. 182 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.080 How widespread is this? I know it's gone viral, but 183 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:12.399 I mean. 184 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:17.759 I've heard cases in California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, Connecticut. They 185 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:20.639 had a rash of them, like like fifteen of them 186 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.240 in just a couple of weeks time. So it's not 187 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.320 just one part of the country.
