A man has 75 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.240 been attacked in Inglewood in what police say appears to 76 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:57.240 be a hate crime. 77 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.840 Police say the racially motivated attack happened on Tuesday morning. 78 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.080 The victim was ambushed and repeatedly punched in the face 79 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.039 and in the back of his head before he fell 80 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.000 to the ground. Detectives say the suspect was shutting an 81 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.479 expletive about Mexicans during the attack. 82 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.840 Jfis Mark Mayfield says the injured man was left with 83 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.120 facial fractures and a cut on one eye.

A new cost 85 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.240 of Living study shows more than one in three households 86 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.000 in California cannot afford a decent standard of living. The 87 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.839 United Ways of California's Real Cost Measure study shows that 88 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.879 to meet basic needs, families need to earn the equivalent 89 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:41.439 of three full time minimum wage incomes. In the last decade, 90 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.800 the Real Cost Measure analysis has found the overall percentage 91 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.680 of California households unable to meet basic needs has remained 92 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:52.399 stagnant despite the amount of wealth generated in the state. 93 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.120 Let's say good morning now to kfi's White House correspondent 94 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.480 John Decker. John, you got to be with the president 95 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.199 on his one one hundredth day in office. 96 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.560 Took a trip on Air Force one. Tell us about it. 97 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.360 Yeah, that's right. A long day. Yesterday the President traveled 98 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.720 out to Warren, Michigan. That's McComb County. It's a county 99 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.360 that he won in November. He lost it four years 100 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.480 earlier to Joe Biden. But he wanted to celebrate his 101 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:22.240 one hundredth day in office in Michigan and tell the 102 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:26.079 accomplishments that his administration has had amy during the course 103 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.079 of the past one hundred days. He spoke for about 104 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.160 an hour and twenty minutes, showed a lot of energy 105 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.680 and the people that showed up really early to be 106 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.120 at that campaign rally. I spoke with a lot of them, 107 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.160 and they were so pleased and happy to be there 108 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.560 for this particular event. And the President's keeping it going. 109 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.439 He is going to have a cabinet meeting today. He'll 110 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.720 also meet with some corporate executives, perhaps announced some more 111 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:55.560 investments that those corporate executives our companies will make here 112 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.199 in the US. So the pace is continuing at a 113 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.680 dizzying pace in the this week that marks his one 114 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:02.920 hundredth day in office. 115 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.160 Okay, you mentioned that you talked to a bunch of 116 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.720 the people who were at that rally. Did you get 117 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:10.720 a chance to ask them how they I know they're 118 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.560 excited to be there and be part of it. How 119 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.240 they felt about some of the policies, the tariffs, that 120 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:15.720 kind of stuff. 121 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:16.560 Do they agree with them? 122 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.399 Well, you know, this is anecdotal. You know, keep in mind, 123 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.759 I didn't do a poll, but everyone that I spoke 124 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:25.480 to and I did it. 125 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:26.079 Ask about that. 126 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.040 Because of concerns about a slowdown in the economy and 127 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.600 increase in inflation as a result of the president's tariff's policy. 128 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.480 They believe that in the long term, the president has 129 00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:41.720 their back, that the President has America's long term interests 130 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.639 at heart when he takes on these policies, even though 131 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.720 there could be as the President has acknowledged, some short 132 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.079 term pain associated with some of the price increases that 133 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.079 we will likely see as a result of those tariffs 134 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.480 on so many products coming into the US. Yeah. 135 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.199 And when you're at those rallies, I mean you said 136 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.639 that people were excited. I mean, what does the vibe like. 137 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.240 I have only been to one and it was a 138 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:12.240 long time ago. Oh and it's a pretty electric experience, 139 00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.199 isn't it. 140 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.079 It really is. You know, I've been to so many 141 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.199 of them over the years, you know, going back to 142 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.399 twenty fifteen, and while here we are ten years later, 143 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.360 they're still going on and still going strong. I think 144 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.120 that for some individuals it's an event. And you know, 145 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.480 the people that are there are essentially like minded. They're 146 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.879 wearing their mega hats, mega shirts, and they're just very 147 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.000 happy that President Trump is back in office. You know, 148 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:44.800 they're individuals, some of whom maybe their parents were Reagan Democrats, 149 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.560 but they are, you know, for President Trump and his policies. 150 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:52.000 And that shows you how that part of the country anyway, 151 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.920 Amy is changing a bit, you know, it's changing from 152 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.920 their outlook in terms of who they want as their leadership, 153 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.040 not only in the White House, but also for statewide 154 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:04.040 offices as well. 155 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:09.519 Okay, and then on the plane, did you get a 156 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.439 chance to talk to the president? Did you do any 157 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.439 kind of a gaggle like he does so much so often. 158 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.680 Yeah, I was disappointed, Amy, he didn't come back to 159 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.600 the press cabin, either going out to Michigan or coming back. 160 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.040 That was a disappointment. I was certainly counting on that. 161 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:27.759 But I'll tell you a funny story. I was going 162 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.199 through you have to go through securities, you can imagine, 163 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.600 for Air Force one. And right behind me was doctor Oz, 164 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.320 who was on this trip. And I saw doctor Oz 165 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.320 and you may recall a few years ago he ran 166 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.159 for the US Senate in Pennsylvania. He lost to John Fetterman. Well, 167 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.799 I forgot that and I called him senator. 168 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.440 He got a kick out of it. I think he's 169 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:50.240 a little embarrassed. 170 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.519 I wasn't intentional, obviously, you know, when I mistakenly called 171 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.159 him senator.

But the reality is a lot of those 315 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.519 jobs and those big websites lead nowhere and so here 316 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.720 it actually leads to jobs that you could get. 317 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:24.000 Very cool Bandana dot com. Okay, well we've got chat GPT, 318 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.639 and there's co pilot and now Meta's got its own 319 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:28.840 AI app. 320 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:31.960 I find this a little ironic because you know, we 321 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:36.080 understand that AI is a huge competition right now, right 322 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:40.120 every company Chat GBT is the clear leader, Google, Gemini, 323 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.240 you've got Microsoft with Copilot, You've got Claude, you've got 324 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.559 deep Seak out of China. Meta has their own Meta AI, 325 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:51.360 which they've built into all of their apps. You've probably 326 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.240 seen it, you know, when you're on Instagram or whatever. 327 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.279 But now they made a standalone AI app so that 328 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.440 you can access this even faster. And so it's just 329 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.399 called Meta AI and you can download it from the 330 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.039 App Store or from Google Play and. 331 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:06.279 It's the same thing as CHATCHBT. 332 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:10.079 You can talk and generate images or get web results. 333 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:14.559 But I find this interesting because so many people when 334 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.720 Meta built this into their apps were like, rich, how 335 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:21.279 do I turn this off? So now it's like, maybe 336 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.279 you know what, Amy, I'm gonna be positive here. Maybe 337 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.039 they'll give us the option to turn it off in 338 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.279 the apps. Now that we have a standalone app, so 339 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.039 if you want this, you can go get it, but 340 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:32.119 you can turn it off in like Instagram and Facebook. 341 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.200 I'm hoping for that, okay. 342 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.680 But well, I like your optimism yeah. 343 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:43.000 Also, well, then tell me about this AI podcast tool 344 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:44.200 that Google has. 345 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.640 Okay, have you heard of this, this notebook LM. 346 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:51.680 No and it okay, yeah, just tell because it sounds 347 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:53.240 like you're just taking all the work. 348 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:53.519 Out of work. 349 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:56.559 No, no, no, this is this is not this is 350 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.559 not replacing you. So this is uh, this is basically 351 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:05.200 notebook LM is Google's sort of smart notebook tools. Started 352 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:07.200 out as an experiment. It's been around for a while, 353 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.559 but you basically feed in information. So let's say you're 354 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:13.200 going on let's say you're a student, right and you're 355 00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.839 taking a class. All your class notes you just dump 356 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.240 into this notebook, right, and you can ask questions about 357 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:22.319 those notes, just like you would AI. But it's programmed 358 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.240 only on the information that you feed it. But it 359 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.839 takes it a level further. You can generate a podcast 360 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.319 based on your information that you've uploaded, so these two 361 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:34.599 podcasts hosts will talk about your information. 362 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:37.440 It's really cool. It's sort of gone viral. 363 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.680 It's very popular among students and anyone who's studying stuff, 364 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:44.240 and you can use it for pretty much anything. So 365 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.079 for me personally, when I get all my reviewers, guides 366 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.559 and things like that, for the products I test, I'll 367 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.079 dump it into this notebook, and then these two people 368 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:55.319 will talk about it and it's like you're listening to 369 00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:59.039 someone talk about the product, all the features of the product. 370 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:01.799 Okay, then here here's my question, because you and I 371 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:04.720 have talked about this a couple of times. How sometimes 372 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:10.200 AI is wrong? So have you found that? Or is 373 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:14.000 it because it's only using your notes? It's what your 374 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:15.480 truth is, see what. 375 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.440 I'm saying exactly, So that that is the idea. The 376 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.720 idea is that it's not going outside of the information 377 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.680 that you feed it. So if you feed it your journal, 378 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:26.240 it would just talk about. 379 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:31.920 Your journal is really boring? How I doubt it, But 380 00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:32.440 that's the thing. 381 00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:35.160 So that's and of course all AI can hallucinate, It 382 00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.519 can always make mistakes, but that's the whole idea of 383 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:39.799 this is that you know that this is rooted in 384 00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:43.880 your information, so technically it should be more factual. Now 385 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:45.920 here's a super easy way to do this. If you 386 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.799 don't want to go into notebook LM, just go to Gemini. 387 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:51.559 Google's Gemini, you know, you can go to their AI, 388 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.240 upload a file any like PDF or whatever, and just 389 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:58.759 wait for it to say generate audio overview and then 390 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:02.160 it will generate that podcast asked right from their AI tool. 391 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.880 And so it's really fun, like once you try this, 392 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:06.960 you kind of get hooked on it. It's really really 393 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.640 fun to hear these people talk about your information. 394 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:11.480 Okay, and you're going to dig into this a little 395 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:13.680 bit more at your segment on KTLA this morning. 396 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.039 Right, Yeah, that's coming up in just a few minutes, 397 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:17.119 or you can get the link on my. 398 00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:19.400 Website rich on tech dot tv. I'll put it there. 399 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.079 This is just such a cool little tool to kind 400 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:24.000 of have experiment with AI a little bit. 401 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:24.559
