WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:04.160 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call 2 00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:08.599 with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:15.039 KFI and KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County. 4 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:21.879 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. 5 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.000 Good morning. It's five o'clock. Time to get your day started. 6 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.560 This is your wake up call for Wednesday, October second. 7 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.759 I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 8 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.280 As I say on many mornings, gosh, we got a 9 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.159 lot to get to today, but gosh, we got a 10 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.880 lot to get to today. So I'm glad you're here 11 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.039 and getting your day started with us. Did you watch 12 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.439 the debate? As you have heard me say before, I'm 13 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.759 a junkie these kinds of things. I love to watch 14 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:08.040 these things. And even though it widely is accepted that 15 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.439 the vice presidential debate doesn't have that much of an impact, 16 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.159 because there are so few I want to see and 17 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.439 I want to hear, and I think that my takeaway 18 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.480 from the debate last night, we'll get into it more, 19 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.159 was that it was mostly civil, which was a nice change. 20 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.400 It was incredibly informative, which was good. I think that 21 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.719 Walls looked like a deer in the headlights at the start, 22 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:35.640 but then I think he kind of caught his stride 23 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.439 and I think he had some good points, and I 24 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.920 thought it was very interesting between Tim Walls and JD. 25 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:42.599 Van said, they go, you know, I kind of agree 26 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.000 with you on that. You know, I kind of agree 27 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.879 with you on that, but then they, you know, veer 28 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.920 back off and to make their points. I think Vance 29 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.439 came across as cool and calm and had lots of 30 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:58.120 information and fact checked the fact checkers, which I thought 31 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.840 was a very interesting point. And I can't even remember 32 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:03.000 what he was talking about. But they said, do you 33 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.120 have any evidence of that? He said, actually I do, 34 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.319 and it's from this department, and we'll put it up 35 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.879 on X. And after the debate they put the report 36 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.400 up on X. It had to do with housing, but 37 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.319 it was super interesting, and like I said, I think 38 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.919 that it was civil and that was nice to see. 39 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.000 Here's what's ahead. On wake up Call. A red flag 40 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.280 warning for high fire danger is in effect for the 41 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.360 western San Gabriel Mountains the five and fourteen freeway corridors. 42 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.360 The National Weather Services to expect highes up to one 43 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.800 hundred and six degrees and win gusts up to thirty 44 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.800 five miles per hour, along with low humidity. Those factors 45 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.599 mean any fire could quickly become a major wildfire. Iran 46 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.319 has warned Israel against responding to its missile attack. In 47 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.280 a post on X, the Iranian mission to the UN 48 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.439 said if Israel responds, a crushing response will follow. We're 49 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.719 going to check in with ABC's Jerdonna Miller get the 50 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:57.719 latest from Israel, and also I'm looking forward to talking 51 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.000 to her and unfortunately hearing her person perspective on what 52 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.400 happened because she had to go into a bomb shelter yesterday. 53 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.599 I Ammy nominated actor John Amos has died. His rep 54 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.400 says he died of natural causes. In August. Amos starred 55 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.919 as the older Kunta Kinte in Roots. He also had 56 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.319 roles on the Mary Tyler Moore show, West Wing, Good Times, 57 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.719 and of course Coming to America. His son says Amos 58 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.520 was a man with the kindest heart, with many fans 59 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.520 considering him their TV father. John Amos was eighty four. 60 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:30.960 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out 61 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.680 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Democratic Governor Tim 62 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.680 Walls and Republican Senator J. D. Vance have met for 63 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.280 the first and only vice presidential debate this election cycle. 64 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.520 They were civil toward each other, as I mentioned, for 65 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.919 most of the debate, even though they disagreed on a 66 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.240 lot of issues, one of them is democracy. Vance says 67 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.520 censorship is a threat to democracy. 68 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.120 It's big technology companies silencing their fellow citizens, and it's 69 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.400 Kamala Harris saying that rather than debate and persuade her 70 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.199 fellow Americans, she'd liked sensor people who engage in misinformation. 71 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.520 Walls says people hear what a president says, and what 72 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.520 Trump said after the twenty twenty election has caused current 73 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:09.840 divisiveness to. 74 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.599 Deny what happened on January sixth, the first time in 75 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.000 American history that a president or anyone tried to overturn 76 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.879 a fair election and the peaceful transfer of power. And 77 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.959 here we are four years later in the same boat. 78 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.600 It's not clear what effect the debate might have on 79 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.920 the November election. Senior elections analyst at five point thirty 80 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.160 eight Jeffrey Skelley says the race between Vice President Harris 81 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.519 and former President Trump is very close. 82 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.879 It is looking like a race that could potentially be 83 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:40.560 decided by one state. 84 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.560 There's always a tipping point stage, whether it's a close 85 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.639 election or a landslide. Historically, vice presidential debates haven't had 86 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.399 a huge impact on the presidential race, but Skelley said 87 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.160 last night's matchup could have an outsized impact because the 88 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.240 race is so close. Ellie County health officials are warning 89 00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.639 people not to get away from the heat by going 90 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.439 to certain in beaches. They say high bacteria levels at 91 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:07.240 nine area beaches exceed health standards. Those beaches include Venice Beach, 92 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.759 Marina del Rey, Paradise Cove, San Pedro, Santa Monica Pier, 93 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.240 to Panga Canyon Beach in Malibu, and the Manhattan Beach Pier. 94 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.800 The Department of Public Houses people should not swim, surf, 95 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.480 or play in the water in those areas. Let's say 96 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:26.839 good morning now to ABC's Jordanah Miller in Jerusalem. Iran 97 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.279 has launched at least one hundred and eighty missiles into Israel. 98 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.120 They were launched into several areas of the country, including 99 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.759 where you were. So before we talk more about it, 100 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.279 I want to talk to you about what you had 101 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.600 to do when the sirens rang out yesterday. 102 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.560 It was pretty scary. Though I do have to say 103 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:52.839 we had about a two hour warning from the government 104 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.399 and the army that the United States had picked up 105 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.279 warning signs that Iran was going to launch something. So 106 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.439 we were told two hours before to get our you know, 107 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.279 to be prepared, to go into the safe room, to 108 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.439 have it ready, to stay in there, and we were 109 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.519 told it was going to be an extensive strike and 110 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.199 we might have to spend some time in there. It 111 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.680 wouldn't be the normal go in and leave ten minutes later, 112 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:19.920 and we had to stay in there and wait for 113 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.399 a notice from the army to leave. So, you know, 114 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.920 I think we people were kind of in their head 115 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.000 prepared a little bit. Two hours doesn't sound like a 116 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.639 lot of time, but in wartime that's a lot. So 117 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.879 on my phone at about seven forty five it started 118 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:45.480 to sirens went off from my phone and the Israeli 119 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:50.720 Army's new alert system, and I took my one and 120 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.279 a half year old, who is just about to fall asleep, 121 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.279 and my four year old and the nanny. We all 122 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.160 went into a safe room that has been you know, 123 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.600 stocked and prepared really for most of this war, and 124 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.000 we just stayed in there, you know, Thank God, for 125 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:11.079 the iPad turned up those cartoons, you know, drained out 126 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.519 the sirens from outside, and it drained out the explosions 127 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.600 of the interceptions. I mean, you know, I heard, we 128 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:25.040 heard I would say, fifteen or twenty interceptions and they 129 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.879 were pretty you know, they were pretty loud. And that's 130 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.120 more than I heard the last strike back in April. 131 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.360 In April, I heard maybe five. So you know, this 132 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:41.759 strike there were fewer launches. Right last time, Aron struck 133 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.839 with three hundred and fifty, three hundred and thirty cruise missiles, 134 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:50.360 drones and ballistic missiles. This time it was about two hundred, 135 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:54.199 but they were all ballistic missiles with you know, a shorter, 136 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.839 shorter launch to target time right there about, which is 137 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.600 about twelve minutes, and there were several waves of those, 138 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:08.759 and they're more powerful. So you know, actually this strike 139 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.079 was a more intense strike than the one in April 140 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:17.000 in terms of you know, deaths. There was one Palestinian 141 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.639 killed in Jericho from what looks like a direct hit 142 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:25.160 from either a rocket, a missal, or from shrapnel. That 143 00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:29.560 was a great tragedy on the Israeli side. There were 144 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.440 several people injured from shrapnel, but no one killed, no 145 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:38.639 soldiers and no civilians. People really listened to the orders, 146 00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.720 and Angel of course knew Aroma was going to target 147 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.919 certain military bases and those were evacuated, so nobody was 148 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.759 killed there. The Army said there was some damage to 149 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:55.720 a few military bases, but nothing that would impair operations 150 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:02.080 and nothing that you know, knocked out systems. They were 151 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:06.720 what they're calling, you know, there was administrative building hit 152 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:10.759 in one base. It does look like the missile of 153 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.960 this time hit. Last time they only hit one base 154 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.240 in the outskirts, the air base in the south, but 155 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.159 this time it looks like they did. The missiles did 156 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.200 manage to hit a few of the bases in the 157 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:27.919 north and one in the center. Again they say not 158 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.440 not major damage, but some limited damage. 159 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.120 Okay. Seems to be sort of a best outcome for 160 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.799 a very terrifying situation. Jordanah Miller, I know that you 161 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.720 are a woman in demand. Today we're going to let 162 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:40.960 you go, but thank you for the information. We're glad 163 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:48.120 you're safe, and we look forward to our next conversation. Okay. 164 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.639 Jordana is you know she's in Jerusalem, and I thought 165 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.480 it was kind of important because it it doesn't hit 166 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.960 home for us, and it's hitting home for her and 167 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.600 like hearing that she's down in a bomb shelter with 168 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:04.720 their kids. I mean, that's powerful and like I said, 169 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:08.440 best outcome. But it'll be interesting to see what happens 170 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:12.240 next because even though Iran is saying, oh, don't retaliate, 171 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:18.480 Israel's known for retaliating and they're not going to sit 172 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.559 back and just let this all happen to them. So 173 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:23.919 we will be watching. Also coming up at the bottom 174 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:27.200 of the hour, my edition of Amy's on It this week. 175 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.279 It's what I'm on is something that is incredibly relevant 176 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.840 to what we were just talking about, and I think 177 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.399 it's it's a must watch. We'll tell you about that again. 178 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:37.200 That's coming up at the bottom of the hour. Let's 179 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.720 get back to some of the stories coming out of 180 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.440 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The nearly forty four 181 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.679 thousand acre fire in the San Bernardino Mountains continues to 182 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.720 threaten Angelus Oaks and Seven Lakes.

And they even had some 269 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:54.679 tech there. They had that I don't know if you 270 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.799 saw it, the GOVI Smart House which with. 271 00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:58.399 All the lights of the haunted House. 272 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.480 Yes.

King. Go check it out. 278 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.000 Yeah, I want to see the faces behind the voices. 279 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:22.879 I know, right. 280 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:27.240 I came up to Rich and really came your biggest fan, 281 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:29.039 and he was like, oh my god, who is this. 282 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.039 I'm like, I get this all the time. Here would 283 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.000 you like an autograph? No, I'm just kidding. It was 284 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:36.399 so great to run into you guys. That was so fun. 285 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:39.360 It was fun. And you know what, something that happened 286 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.519 at that event leads me to the first thing I 287 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.240 wanted to ask you about, and that is the new 288 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.279 SOS that shows up on your iPhone because out there 289 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.120 I didn't have any service and I was like, what's 290 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:49.919 this SOS? It's on my What is that. 291 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:52.480 Yeah, so Apple changed this. 292 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.759 It might have been with the last iOS update, but 293 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.240 that's basically instead of having no signal, they're letting you know. 294 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.320 It's very confusing, I will admit, but they're letting you 295 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:04.240 know that even though you don't have a signal, your 296 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:06.399 phone would still be able to dial nine one one. 297 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:07.919 So that's what that means on your phone. 298 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:10.080 So if you see SOS, that means that if you 299 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:12.240 tried to make a regular phone call, it wouldn't go through, 300 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:14.840 but if you tried to call nine one one it would. 301 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.559 And then there's another icon. If you see a little 302 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:21.320 satellite next to the next to the SOS, that means 303 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.399 that your phone, if you have an iPhone fourteen, fifteen 304 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.759 or sixteen, can actually use satellites to both call for 305 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.399 help and also text message folks as well. 306 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.240 Oh okay, that's good to know. Yeah, good to know. Okay, 307 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.840 the Verizon outage. I was talking to my friend Amy 308 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:39.840 and she said, I couldn't. I couldn't call anybody, I 309 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.279 couldn't text anybody. I couldn't I didn't know where I 310 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.320 was going because I didn't have my maps feature because 311 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.960 her Verizon service. She was one of hundreds of thousands 312 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.519 of people who didn't have it yesterday. 313 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.320 Yeah, this is pretty wild. This was actually Monday that 314 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:53.360 it was out for day. 315 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:53.879 That's what I meant. 316 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:57.279 Yeah, I know, we forget, but this happened to me 317 00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:58.840 as well. And I'm not kidding. I was out and 318 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.720 about all day long and my phone just did not work. 319 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:03.080 I couldn't believe it. I was like, wait, what is 320 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.960 going on here? I've never seen an outage linger for 321 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:09.359 this long. It was from about seven am until maybe 322 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.920 about three pm it started coming back online. Many people 323 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.119 across the nation. We don't know the number of people, 324 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.759 but it was definitely a lot. Verizon has not said 325 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.160 anything about it. They have not said a word. The 326 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.039 last time they tweeted about it was on Monday. They said, 327 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:28.240 we have fully restored today's network disruption service has returned. 328 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.079 If you're still having issues, we recommend restarting your phone. 329 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:34.680 We apologize for any inconvenience. But they have not given 330 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:36.480 an answer as to why this happened. They have not 331 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:39.039 given an explanation, and people are wondering, you know, do 332 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:39.839 I get a credit? 333 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:41.759 Like what happened here? I want to know, And a. 334 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.799 Lot of people switch services too, According to the stories 335 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:45.599 that people sent me. 336 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:48.799 Really just from being out of service for a few 337 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:50.720 hours because we're so connected to everything. 338 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.359 Yeah, it's probably like the last straw, and you know, 339 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:56.400 if they needed a reason to do it. But from 340 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.200 my experience, my wife had she doesn't have Verizon, so 341 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.920 she was fine. I had Mint Mobile on the test line, 342 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.039 that was fine, but my standard Verizon plan was definitely 343 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:07.039 impacted the whole day. 344 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:09.960 Well, and I do think it's interesting, and of course 345 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.359 this affects you because you're the tech guy. But like, 346 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.000 we just freak out if we don't have our phones 347 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.400 for like an hour or two. When before we had 348 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:20.039 cell phones, we would be kind of off the grid 349 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:23.119 for hours and days and nobody worried about it, but 350 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:24.920 now we just feel like we have to have that 351 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:26.599 with us all the time. 352 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:29.359 Well, I think the other difference is that people don't 353 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:31.599 have landlines. A lot of people rely on these, so 354 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:34.519 if you were you know, look, if you have someone 355 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:36.720 like an elderly person at home and they only have 356 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:39.720 a Verizon phone and that's it to not be able 357 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:41.400 to get in touch with them for hours on end, 358 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:44.079 that's a problem. And some people, you know, due to costs, 359 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:46.319 they may not have Wi Fi at home either, because 360 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:49.480 you know that's expensive. They just use their phone for everything. 361 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.720 So you know, we've come to this point where we 362 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.359 rely on these things so much and for everything. And 363 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.880 by the way, Amy, a lot of people are switching 364 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.720 to that home service that gives you in over the 365 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.599 cell phone line. So it's like the more we rely 366 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.200 on these wireless networks, the bigger these outages impact us. 367 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.200 Well, it'd be interesting too to see if Ryson ever 368 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:13.680 tells tells its customers what the heck happened? I mean, 369 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.920 was it a hack? Did somebody unplug something? I mean, like, 370 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.119 what what happened? 371 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:20.680 It will probably end up being a software update that 372 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:22.839 they pushed something through, but I think they're going to 373 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.720 have to tell us just because they are regulated by 374 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.319 the FCC, and you know there are people there that 375 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:28.720 want to know. 376 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:31.079 The SCC did say they were aware of it. 377 00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:35.759 Okay, So moving over to another high tech thing. Competition's 378 00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:36.799 heating up for AI. 379 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:39.240 Yeah, this is interesting. 380 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.519 So you know, these search engines are going through a 381 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.720 major transformation. You know, Google Search for many years was 382 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.000 all the same. You typed in something, it gave you 383 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.079 a link, you clicked the first one. If that didn't work, 384 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.279 you clicked the second one. But these these new generative 385 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.319 AI kind of searches do away with all of that, 386 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.519 and people have gotten a taste of it through chat GBT. 387 00:19:57.640 --> 00:19:59.400 They just type in, hey, give me ten of the 388 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.680 best you know destinations for hiking in the US, and 389 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:05.599 you don't need to look at twenty different websites. It 390 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:07.759 just gives you a list and it gives you the research. 391 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:10.759 So that's a problem for Google and all these other 392 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.720 companies because they relied on the search advertising. So I 393 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.200 tell you all that because Bing is now doing their 394 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.400 generative search, they're slowly stepping into this amy because they 395 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:24.839 don't want to ruin everything all at once. And so 396 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:27.880 Bing now has generative search, which means when you get 397 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.200 into BANG, if you use that for your search engine, 398 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.039 you can type something in and it will say do 399 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:35.720 a deep search, and it will give you kind of 400 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:37.400 like I call it a book report. You know, it 401 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.480
