Speaker 1: Okay, so we got a Nintendo switch to I bet
Speaker 1: a lot of parents are well. I bet a lot
Speaker 1: of kids are excited. Their parents are ready to fork
Speaker 1: over some cash. So let's talk about it because it's
Speaker 1: it's sort of a long awaited release.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this has been eight years in the making since
Speaker 5: the original one came out. And yeah, tonight tonight, so
Speaker 5: it's interesting it actually launches.
Speaker 3: And I'm really bad at this stuff.
Speaker 5: But it's midnight Thursday, which is actually like nine pm
Speaker 5: tonight Pacific. So retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, they are
Speaker 5: going to have this tonight game stop Target, And yes
Speaker 5: it does launch at midnight, but I think that's on
Speaker 5: the East Coast, so that's apparently nine pm here. Four
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty dollars for the console. Five hundred dollars
Speaker 5: if you want the bundle. That is what the experts
Speaker 5: are saying to get because the games are pricey on
Speaker 5: this anywhere from seventy to ninety dollars.
Speaker 3: Of course, it's going to be improved.
Speaker 5: It's got a bigger screen, it's got better resolution, better
Speaker 5: frame rate, faster magnetic attaching controllers.
Speaker 3: So there's a lot to like here.
Speaker 5: It's going to be kind of a big deal for
Speaker 5: gamers because this is a long time coming.
Speaker 1: Like you said, Okay, you mentioned bigger screen. Don't you
Speaker 1: play it on just a TV?
Speaker 5: Well, the thing about the switch that's kind of unique
Speaker 5: is that it works as both the portable.
Speaker 3: Gaming system and it can connect to your TV.
Speaker 5: And that's kind of the magic that Nintendo invented a
Speaker 5: couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: So that's what's pretty cool about this.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I heard that they're already sold out. All
Speaker 1: the pre orders are sold out, So can you get one?
Speaker 3: Good question.
Speaker 5: Pre Orders are sold out, but that does not mean
Speaker 5: that the stores will not have them tonight. The pre
Speaker 5: order people will get them, but they're going to of course,
Speaker 5: like any other event that I've been to in the
Speaker 5: you know, many years I've been covering this. The stores
Speaker 5: want people there in person, so they will have you know,
Speaker 5: it might be limited. We don't know, you know, we
Speaker 5: don't know what the stock is on this. It could
Speaker 5: be that everyone that goes tonight gets one. We just
Speaker 5: don't know until it happens, so we will find out
Speaker 5: soon enough.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 5: Pre orders, yes, have sold out instantly pretty much every time,
Speaker 5: but there will be some stock tonight for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, but that's part of the fun of it. When
Speaker 1: it's something that's so much anticipated like this, is going
Speaker 1: and getting in line and seeing if you can get one,
Speaker 1: and yeah.
Speaker 3: Except it could be pretty stressful. I think, I know,
Speaker 3: I know some.
Speaker 5: People that really want one of these tonight, and it's
Speaker 5: you know, it's very strategic. Where do I go, What
Speaker 5: time do I get there? How long am I going
Speaker 5: to wait in line? When do they tell you that
Speaker 5: there's nothing. Some of these places they're using raffles, which
Speaker 5: means even if you're this first person in line, you
Speaker 5: still may not get it because the thirtieth person might
Speaker 5: win the raffle. So it just sort of depends.
Speaker 1: I don't like that raffle idea personally me either.
Speaker 3: Me either.
Speaker 1: I'm like, if you're going to get there early in
Speaker 1: camp out, you should be first in line.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think the last time I camped out for one
Speaker 5: of these things was the PlayStation two, which goes to
Speaker 5: show you how long I've been doing this.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's move on and talk about It's called
Speaker 1: Wise's New light Bulb Camera. So it's a tricky little gadget.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they're going to sell a gazillion of these.
Speaker 5: It's so brilliant. Think about this, a light bulb that
Speaker 5: screws into a socket, but at the end there is
Speaker 5: a small security camera on it. So now anywhere you
Speaker 5: have a light bulb socket, you can install a camera
Speaker 5: without wires, without solar, without batteries. And the thing about
Speaker 5: this amy is that people buy these things like crazy
Speaker 5: on Amazon. They usually cost about thirty bucks, but they
Speaker 5: come from these really off brands that nobody knows, you know,
Speaker 5: who's making these things, and how good the security is.
Speaker 5: This is a major company and for what's this price,
Speaker 5: fifty dollars.
Speaker 3: That's not bad.
Speaker 5: And you can connect up to five of them, so
Speaker 5: you can actually have additional light bulbs that are seventeen
Speaker 5: dollars each, and then if the camera sees motion, it'll
Speaker 5: turn on all the light bulbs. So it's a really
Speaker 5: smart little system without a lot of wiring.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then does it also it's got the cameras
Speaker 1: on it, so then do you see what's going on
Speaker 1: on your phone? Kind of like a ring.
Speaker 3: Camera exactly, so you can see on your phone.
Speaker 5: You can use the app or it can also record locally,
Speaker 5: so if you don't want to pay any subscription fees,
Speaker 5: it can record onto a memory card built into the device,
Speaker 5: or I guess you put it into the device. The
Speaker 5: only problem with that is we know amy that if
Speaker 5: someone stole the camera, they would also steal the memory card.
Speaker 5: So that's why they sell the cloud backup option, which
Speaker 5: you know is three dollars a month if you want
Speaker 5: your clips to go to the cloud, So if someone
Speaker 5: stole the camera, at least you would still have the
Speaker 5: clip in the cloud.
Speaker 1: Okay, And it's sold by Wyswyze.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're pretty well known.
Speaker 5: They've had a couple of little security issues in the past,
Speaker 5: but they've really polished those up. So I have no
Speaker 5: problem suggesting that this is a recommendation of a good camera.
Speaker 3: I have to test it out, but seems like a
Speaker 3: really good solution.
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect. Then Photoshop, which we all know what that is,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know it wasn't available on Android, but
Speaker 1: now it's going to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Photoshop launched a version of their mobile app on the
Speaker 5: iPhone a couple months ago, and everyone was like, wait,
Speaker 5: what about Android? What about Android? And now guess you
Speaker 5: can get it on Android. It's a beta version of
Speaker 5: the app, so not every feature is there, but it
Speaker 5: brings a lot of those like Photoshop features people love
Speaker 5: to Android phones, like layering, masking, you can select little objects,
Speaker 5: you can sort of get blemishes off of people or whatever,
Speaker 5: you know, erase something from a picture. And of course
Speaker 5: everyone is all about these AI features, So Firefly is
Speaker 5: their version of AI. They have a generative fill feature,
Speaker 5: which means, let's say you take a picture in front
Speaker 5: of a mountain background, you'd rather be in front of
Speaker 5: an ocean.
Speaker 3: You can literally.
Speaker 5: Erase the mountains and added ocean. So it's free right now.
Speaker 5: You can get on Android and it will be free
Speaker 5: during the beta period and most of the features are
Speaker 5: I guess many of the features will remain free, but.
Speaker 3: At some point they will introduce some paid features to okay.
Speaker 1: And then you've got a new voice to text app
Speaker 1: for iPhone users, which what do you need that? Because
Speaker 1: I do the voice to text on my iPhone all
Speaker 1: the time and I don't have a specific app for it.
Speaker 5: And are you correcting what it does all the time,
Speaker 5: like I am, Well, yes, it's horrible.
Speaker 3: I mean it's really bad.
Speaker 1: It's bad, but it's not as bad as my typing.
Speaker 5: No, and it's a little bit faster, and yes, to
Speaker 5: Apple's credit, it has gotten better. But if you try this,
Speaker 5: it is called whisper flow WISPR. I will put the
Speaker 5: link on my website rich on tech dot tv because
Speaker 5: people are just searching and find different things. But there
Speaker 5: is an official app. I'm not kidding, Amy. This is
Speaker 5: single handedly the best app I've ever downloaded on the iPhone.
Speaker 3: Really, it is so good. I'm telling you.
Speaker 5: It gets the punctuation right, it gets the proper nouns right.
Speaker 5: If you say spult a boulevard, it will get it.
Speaker 5: Or if you say lasienga like I used to say
Speaker 5: it before I moved to California, it'll get that right.
Speaker 3: But this is really cool.
Speaker 5: It's free to use for the basic features, and I'm
Speaker 5: not kidding it is it is so perfect because it
Speaker 5: does use AI.
Speaker 3: So there's a little quirk.
Speaker 5: About how you have to activate it every time, which
Speaker 5: is kind of annoying, but it does work and it's
Speaker 5: just tried it out see if you like it.
Speaker 3: It's it's really really cool.
Speaker 1: Okay, whisper flow without.
Speaker 3: The h exactly.
Speaker 1: Okay. That is all the great tech advice from our
Speaker 1: tech guy, rich Demiro. You can hear him every weekend
Speaker 1: on a show called rich on Tech right here on
Speaker 1: KFI Saturdays. It's from eleven to two. Of course, you
Speaker 1: can see him. We love seeing you on KTL. You
Speaker 1: can follow him on Instagram at rich on Tech and
Speaker 1: everything that we've talked about here and what he talks
Speaker 1: about on KTLA, you can find all that information on
Speaker 1: his website, rich on Tech dot TV. Thanks so much,
Speaker 1: Rich Dmiro.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me Amy. Have a great day.
Speaker 1: You two the man accused of killing a Baldwin Park
Speaker 1: police officer and another man has been charged with two
Speaker 1: counts of murder, among other charges. The charges against Eduardo
Speaker 1: Medina Buruman include special circumstance ALEX allegations, and for that
Speaker 1: he could get the death penalty if he's convicted. A
Speaker 1: man who led police on a car chase along with
Speaker 1: three passengers, including two kids, have been hurt when the
Speaker 1: chase ended with a crash in Inglewood. The chase started
Speaker 1: in Culver City around ten am yesterday. The man police
Speaker 1: were chasing as one and for several felonies, including robbery
Speaker 1: and carjacking. X is back up and running following a crash.
Speaker 1: A down detector website says it got thousands of reports
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon that X was down and content wasn't loading
Speaker 1: on personal or major news and information sites. There have
Speaker 1: been several X outages. X hasn't said what led to
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 13: Amie's on it.
Speaker 12: Aamie's on it, AMI's on Itami's on it?
Speaker 1: What am I on? I'm on the stream. There's so
Speaker 1: much to watch, how do you know what to watch?
Speaker 1: And uh I hopefully I can help you out, maybe
Speaker 1: steer you towards the really good things, maybe steer you
Speaker 1: away from things that are just a waste of your time.
Speaker 1: This one a long time coming. It's The Handmaid's Tale Hulu.
Speaker 1: The six seasons are all now completely out. The series
Speaker 1: finale has dropped. That dropped last week, and I went
Speaker 1: ahead and watched it. And I have been a big
Speaker 1: fan of Handmaid's Tale. I'll tell you. I read the
Speaker 1: book and hated it, but then I watched the movie
Speaker 1: or the series and loved it. Weird, right, I watched
Speaker 1: the final episodes. I'm not going to tell you what happens.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you even any hints, just
Speaker 1: to say that I think they wrapped it up, but
Speaker 1: I was disappointed. That's all I'm going to say about that. Now.
Speaker 1: What I'm going to go back and say is this
Speaker 1: series started in twenty seventeen, and that was a long
Speaker 1: time ago. So I thought I need to go back
Speaker 1: and watch the very first episodes, and I'm glad I did.
Speaker 1: There was a lot that's happened since then. There's a
Speaker 1: lot that I had forgotten, and I felt like the
Speaker 1: last couple of seasons of Handmaid's Tale, while compelling, we're
Speaker 1: missing something, so going back, it was kind of fun
Speaker 1: to revisit it, and it was the creepy horror factor
Speaker 1: that was missing, like when it first came out that
Speaker 1: the situation that these women were put in is so
Speaker 1: like otherworldly and unlikely and chilling and scary. I just
Speaker 1: think the first season was absolutely the best, and then
Speaker 1: once June gets out of Gilead, I think it lost
Speaker 1: some of its edge. So the story is always interesting
Speaker 1: and I always wanted to watch the next one, but
Speaker 1: it just became more and more unlikely, and the more
Speaker 1: opportunities that June escaped death when you know, any of
Speaker 1: the other Handmaids probably would have been wiped out. She
Speaker 1: made it through, but of course she's the star of
Speaker 1: the movie anyway. The last episode does bring the series
Speaker 1: to a close, but like I said, I struggle with
Speaker 1: it a little bit because it didn't close out the
Speaker 1: way that I think it should. I do think that
Speaker 1: they took Margaret Atwood's book and added five more books basically,
Speaker 1: which was an amazing feat. So kudos to the writers
Speaker 1: and the actors. Elizabeth Moss of course fantastic as Handmaid
Speaker 1: offered June Osborne my favorite, though Commander Lawrence Bradley Whitfield
Speaker 1: is fantastic, and so is a Serena Joy who is
Speaker 1: Ivonne Strahovsky. Both of them are so good at being
Speaker 1: bad and then they show you a little good but
Speaker 1: then you go, oh, I can root for them, and
Speaker 1: then they're so bad and they do such a good
Speaker 1: job of that. And then of course also Lydia aunt
Speaker 1: Lydia played by Anne Dowd. She is so fantastic. So
Speaker 1: there's some great performances in this. If you haven't watched
Speaker 1: the whole series, go do it. If you haven't watched
Speaker 1: any of it, go watch it. It's great. And like
Speaker 1: I said, I think that the first season was absolutely
Speaker 1: the best because it's the most chilling, creepy of them all.
Speaker 1: Time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho.
Speaker 1: Courtney Wells Fargo finally escaped the federal reserves cap on
Speaker 1: its assets. On its assets? What does that mean?
Speaker 13: So here's what happened good morning in this report a
Speaker 13: sponsored by Total Wine and more so, the federers ave
Speaker 13: put limits on Wells Fargo's size to penalize the bank
Speaker 13: for a number of misdeeds, which included employees opening millions
Speaker 13: of unauthorized customer accounts. So what happened is the Federalserve
Speaker 13: restricted the bank's size for more than seven years. But
Speaker 13: this closes the door on nearly a decade of scandals
Speaker 13: for the lender. It also allows Wells Fargo to pursue
Speaker 13: growth again because Wells Fargo has spent years cleaning.
Speaker 1: Up this whole big mess.
Speaker 13: But the move by the Fed now and this unprecedented punishment,
Speaker 13: this never happened before, but it restricted the bank's ability
Speaker 13: to grow. It also restricted their ability to compete with
Speaker 13: its financial peers. So right now investors are pretty excited
Speaker 13: about it that they're going to be back, they're going
Speaker 13: to be competitive, and Wells Fargo shares are hire in
Speaker 13: the pre market.
Speaker 1: A Courtney the scandal was it Wells Fargo that was
Speaker 1: creating accounts for people?
Speaker 13: Yes, they were opening millions of unauthorized customer accounts, but
Speaker 13: that wasn't the only thing. What was happening is they
Speaker 13: were getting a ton of pressure from bank management a
Speaker 13: lot of the employees to be able to speed up
Speaker 13: their growth. And at the time, back many years ago,
Speaker 13: I mean Wells Fargo was the third biggest bank in
Speaker 13: the country, and now they ended up bringing in a
Speaker 13: new CEO. He was named to the top job in
Speaker 13: twenty nineteen, and it pretty much was his whole entire job,
Speaker 13: Charlie Sharf, to fix all of these problems that happened.
Speaker 13: But I mean, in twenty sixteen, regulators found that Wells
Speaker 13: Fargo the staff there opened as many as three and
Speaker 13: a half million accounts without customer's knowledge so that they
Speaker 13: can meet these aggressive sales targets. So they wanted to
Speaker 13: rapidly expand, but that was not the way to be
Speaker 13: able to do it. Through fraud, identity, theft, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: We'll see if they do it right this time. Okay,
Speaker 1: Exactly a lot of people bought pelotons during the pandemic
Speaker 1: because there was nothing to do and nowhere to go.
Speaker 1: And now people want to get rid of them, and
Speaker 1: now they can. Yeah, well take those pants.
Speaker 13: Hanging on your unused peloton and you could sell now
Speaker 13: your bike. They're in the process of launching a new
Speaker 13: platform so folks can sell their use bikes, treadmills, another
Speaker 13: peloton equipment right now. Really, the way to be able
Speaker 13: to do it is through Facebook Marketplace. That's how I
Speaker 13: ended up getting my peloton. This is called Peloton repowered,
Speaker 13: so it gives them part of the deal, which also
Speaker 13: helps them, so it's not a deal on the side
Speaker 13: without Peloton being involved. It's only available in a few
Speaker 13: cities right now, but there are plans to expand nationwide.
Speaker 13: There's also an option to have the equipment delivered to you,
Speaker 13: and I could tell you I would have enjoyed that
Speaker 13: option instead of moving that heavy peloton myself up to
Speaker 13: a second floor, second floor place.
Speaker 1: So yeah, not good. Okay, So if you want used peloton,
Speaker 1: you can sell it and you can buy it used.
Speaker 1: Now that's exact. And I would imagine that a lot
Speaker 1: of those used units are very gently used, as they
Speaker 1: call it.
Speaker 13: As I said, there's a lot of Pelotons sitting there
Speaker 13: with clothes.
Speaker 1: It's a coat rack instead. Yeah, okay, Hey, is it
Speaker 1: going to be a gentle day on Wall Street or
Speaker 1: we're in for a rocky roam.
Speaker 13: Well, here's what happened yesterday. Stocks finished the day higher.
Speaker 13: Data show the labor market is still holding up. We
Speaker 13: got a report on job openings the unexpectedly in April
Speaker 13: that lifted the major benchmarks in the dowrows two hundred
Speaker 13: fourteen points.
Speaker 1: Now, this morning.
Speaker 13: Earlier we were building on that momentum, but then we
Speaker 13: got a big miss on another piece of key data
Speaker 13: in the whole entire employment picture. Leaning up to the
Speaker 13: big jobs report this Friday, so eighty p said, hiring
Speaker 13: private payrolls cool to the slowest pace in two years.
Speaker 13: Private sector payrolls increased by thirty seven thousand last month.
Speaker 13: That's not a lot. I mean, it missed so many
Speaker 13: expectations of economists. So it looks like the strong start
Speaker 13: for the year for hiring is definitely losing steam. And
Speaker 13: that's why we're seeing a bit of pressure on the
Speaker 13: markets right now. We're a little changed across the board,
Speaker 13: but as I said, we were higher for Muslim morning.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we'll keep an eye on it. That's getting
Speaker 1: in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho. Thanks, we'll do
Speaker 1: it again tomorrow. See you later, all right, have a
Speaker 1: good one. Former legal bigwig Tom Girardi has been send
Speaker 1: to more than seven years in federal prison for stealing
Speaker 1: more than fifteen million bucks from his clients in a
Speaker 1: long running Ponzi scheming. Has to surrender to authorities. July sevenventeenth,
Speaker 1: Trump Administration's pulled nearly seven seventy million dollars in environmental
Speaker 1: justice grants for southern California. MET has agreed to a
Speaker 1: twenty year partnership to use nuclear power for its technology
Speaker 1: and AI projects. It'll reportedly create one thousand jobs and
Speaker 1: generate more than thirteen million dollars in annual tax revenue.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's law enforcement reporter
Speaker 1: Luke Barr. And Luke, I know we only have a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes with you because we had some technical
Speaker 1: issues this morning, and this story we could talk about
Speaker 1: all hours for about an hour. But tell us about
Speaker 1: the illegal immigrant who allegedly send a letter threatening to
Speaker 1: assassinate President Trump. But things are not as they seem.
Speaker 14: Things are not as they seem. So well, this guy,
Speaker 14: according to DHS, two weeks ago, sent a threatening letter
Speaker 14: to the President of United States, which obviously is a
Speaker 14: big deal, but it might kind of be all a
Speaker 14: ruse because, according to local authorities in Wisconsin, the letter
Speaker 14: that was sent on behalf of, or purporting to be from,
Speaker 14: this guy named Ramon Morales Res, who was in the
Speaker 14: country illegally, was actually the victim of this crime. So basically,
Speaker 14: what had happened, according to court documents, is that Morales
Speaker 14: Rays was the victim of a robbery last year. The
Speaker 14: guy gets arrested who allegedly robbed him, and he's in jail.
Speaker 14: Somehow the guy who robbed him finds out that he's
Speaker 14: illegally in the country and says, his hell of a
Speaker 14: plan is to get Morales out of the country so
Speaker 14: that he doesn't have to testify against him. And how
Speaker 14: does he allegedly do that by writing a letter threatening
Speaker 14: the president of the United States. Ice picks him up
Speaker 14: and now he's going through the deportation process.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I mean, like awfully brilliant plan if
Speaker 1: it would have worked, right. So the guy's in jail
Speaker 1: right now, waiting for his trial or is he.
Speaker 3: Out, No, he's in jail waiting for his trial.
Speaker 14: And the kind of kicker to all this is that
Speaker 14: Morales Reys was supposed to testify against this guy on
Speaker 14: July sixteenth. And so this is all kind of laid
Speaker 14: out in this court document, which has text of recordings
Speaker 14: that were made on jailhouse phones. Were basically this guy
Speaker 14: who's in prison and who allegedly victimized Morales Reyes was
Speaker 14: laying this all out for everybody to hear, including jail staff.
Speaker 14: And in fact, he was informed that his plan worked
Speaker 14: when he was interviewed by Milwaukee Police Department detectives about
Speaker 14: this case. You know, because when authorities interviewed Morales Res,
Speaker 14: they asked him, is there anybody that has it out
Speaker 14: against you? And he said, yes, this guy who allegedly
Speaker 14: robbed him. And so that's kind of what got the
Speaker 14: ball rolling on this case.
Speaker 1: Okay, and I know you have to go. Are they
Speaker 1: trying to keep him here? Now? See?
Speaker 14: Well, DHS has told us that the investigation of the
Speaker 14: strata is ongoing. They realized that he was determined to
Speaker 14: be in the country illegally and he's a criminal record.
Speaker 14: He will remain in custody, in ice custody, but it
Speaker 14: remains to be seen if he's going to meet that
Speaker 14: July sixteenth deadline, which is the day for this guy
Speaker 14: his trial may be seen, if he'll be in the
Speaker 14: country or.
Speaker 3: Not, or even if he'll be allowed to testify. Okay,
Speaker 3: I think they're got to sort that out during immigration court.
Speaker 1: And other than that, does Ramon Morales Rayas have a
Speaker 1: criminal record?
Speaker 3: He does.
Speaker 14: DHS says that he was in and out of the
Speaker 14: country at least nine times between nineteen ninety eight and
Speaker 14: two thousand and five.
Speaker 3: After that kind of becomes.
Speaker 14: Hazy where he was, but obviously he was in the
Speaker 14: country when he got picked up by Ice and is
Speaker 14: a convicted criminal.
Speaker 1: Accordantize crazy Okay. ABC's law enforcement reporter Luke Barr would
Speaker 1: love to talk more about this, but thanks for getting
Speaker 1: us up to date on it. What a crazy story.
Speaker 8: Crazy story.
Speaker 14: Talk to you guys later.
Speaker 1: I take care. So he doesn't want the guy to
Speaker 1: testify against him, so he fakes an assassination letter against
Speaker 1: President Trump so he'll get deported. That'll get you in trouble,
Speaker 1: which it looks like it's gonna work. Yeah, And like
Speaker 1: initially I'm thinking, well, then should they should? He should
Speaker 1: testify and then he should get a pass because of that.
Speaker 1: But if he has a criminal record before that becomes
Speaker 1: a little more sketchy. Yeah, all right, let's get back
Speaker 1: to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
Speaker 1: twenty four hour news room. A woman from Canyon Country
Speaker 1: is expected to plead guilty to forty six charges tied
Speaker 1: to a crime tourism. Ring. Prosecutors say Anna Maria Ariagatta
Speaker 1: and her boyfriend dispatched thieves from southern South America to shoplift,
Speaker 1: burglarize homes and businesses, and steal credit cards to the
Speaker 1: tune of about five and a half million dollars over
Speaker 1: six years between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty four. The
Speaker 1: indictment says Aria Gatta and her boyfriend, whose trial is
Speaker 1: scheduled for August, ordered associates who stole credit cards to
Speaker 1: immediately go to stores like Target, buy a home depot
Speaker 1: and maxim out by purchasing electronics, gift cards, designer purses,
Speaker 1: and other high end luxury goods. And they did that
Speaker 1: quickly before the cards that were stolen could be canceled.
Speaker 1: News brought to you by Seller's Advantage. A mental health
Speaker 1: support hotline could face big cuts as the state continues
Speaker 1: to trim its twelve billion dollar budget deficit. Funding for
Speaker 1: the free twenty four hour non emergency mental health support
Speaker 1: lines been cut from fifteen million to five million dollars.
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom says is actually an increase because the peer
Speaker 1: run warm line wasn't in his original budget. The Education
Speaker 1: Department will not be garnishing the social security of student
Speaker 1: loan borrowers who are in default.
Speaker 7: And Education Department spokespersons as borrowers who have defaulted on
Speaker 7: their student loans will no longer be at risk of
Speaker 7: having their Social Security benefits garnished. The government last month
Speaker 7: restarted collections for the millions of people in default on
Speaker 7: their federal student loans, and estimated four hundred and fifty
Speaker 7: two thousand people aged sixty two and older had student
Speaker 7: loans in default, according to a report from the Consumer
Speaker 7: Financial Protection Bureau. Advocates encourage the Trump administration to go
Speaker 7: further to provide relief for the roughly five point three
Speaker 7: million borrowers in default. Mark Ronner KFI.
