<v Speaker 4>But I still think the first season of Handmaid's Tale

24
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 4>was probably the best.

25
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 3>So it was just so creepy.

00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 4>It's yeah scary, yeah, yeah, and at some point you're like, June,

27
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 4>how many times can you avoid being killed?

28
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 5>And why do you keep going back? Well, she's going back.

29
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 4>Because of her daughter. I know her daughter, Hannah's still there.

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.719
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, So if you've seen Handmaid's Tale, don't tell me.

35
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 4>He goes, oh, somebody left a mask. I think it

36
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 4>was Mark Ronner. Oh, but I was.

<v Speaker 4>the little strip mall where I was wearing masks and

42
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 4>they were wearing them outside.

51
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 4>know how you spent your Memorial Day. But since we worked,

52
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 4>there was no barbecuing and that kind of stuff. Yesterday

53
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 4>I was in a patriotic move mood and so I

54
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 4>watched Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick.

55
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh fun.

56
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:45.240
<v Speaker 5>I love those movies.

57
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was fun to watch it, and it was

58
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 4>amazing to watch them. You know, forty years later, it's

59
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 4>the first one forty years ago or thirty years ago,

60
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 4>I can't remember.

61
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 3>I know numbers.

62
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 4>They're still great. They're still great. Anyway, here's what's ahead

<v Speaker 4>on wake up call. Welcome back to your short work week.

64
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.360

65
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 4>by police following a chase and a standoff that ended

66
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 4>in Woodland Hills. The woman has had surgery after she

67
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 4>was taken into custody late yesterday morning. Three more of

68
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 4>the escaped inmates in New Orleans have been recaptured, one

69
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 4>in Louisiana, the two others in Texas. That leaves two

70
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 4>remaining inmates on the loose. Two students from La County

71
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.599

<v Speaker 4>and Sydney Tran from l Rancho Charter School in Anaheim.

76
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 4>Go kids. Some much needed aid is getting into Gaza

77
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 4>things to a US backed relief organization, but Hamas is

78
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 4>warning Palestinians not to take it. ABC Strodana Miller joins

79
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.879
<v Speaker 4>us to explain that. Coming up in just a couple

80
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 4>of minutes. The tariff roller coaster continues. ABC's Karen Travers

81
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 4>has the latest on the proclamation from President Trump that

82
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.680
<v Speaker 4>has stock futures soaring this morning. That's at five thirty five.

83
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.560
<v Speaker 4>Where have all the great perks gone? Remember all the

84
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 4>credit card companies used to have them? Everybody used to

85
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 4>have them. Kfi's Rory O'Neil on why companies are eighty

86
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 4>six ing them and why?

87
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 5>Oh I said, on why and why that's a double way.

88
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 5>We'll figure it out.

89
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 4>No tax on tips part of President Trump's Big Beautiful bill,

90
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 4>which is headed over to the Senate. Does Joel Larsgard

91
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 4>think that's a good idea and why millionaires are renting

92
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 4>instead of buying these days.

93
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 5>That's coming up at the top of the hour.

94
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 4>Let's get started with some of the stories coming out

95
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 4>of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A woman shot

96
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 4>by police after a chase and a standoff in Woodland

97
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 4>Hills is in critical condition. LAPD Detective Megan Aguilar says

98
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 4>officers first contacted the woman in Van Eys yesterday morning

99
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 4>when shots were reported.

100
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 7>They were able to get a little bit of information

101
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 7>from her, but during that engagement she produced a handgun,

102
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 7>pointed it at herself, and got back in the van.

103
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 4>She then led lease into a neighborhood in Woodland Hills

104
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 4>where there was another standoff. At one point she got

105
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 4>onto the roof of the van and was holding a

106
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.920
<v Speaker 4>gun to her head. She was shot by police when

107
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 4>she jumped off and ran over to a porch of

108
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.279
<v Speaker 4>a home. A man's been arrested in connection with the

109
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 4>shootings of a fourteen year old boy and two adults

110
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 4>in the Shoreline Village area of Long Beach will Last say.

111
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 4>The boy was shot in the leg Sunday night, a

112
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 4>man and a woman were both shot in the upper body.

113
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Officers say there'd been an argument between a large group

114
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 4>of people near a boat. The guy arrested is the

115
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 4>owner of the boat. Looks like we're going to have

116
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:34.879
<v Speaker 4>a hot summer in California.

117
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.120
<v Speaker 8>Noah predicts that much of California will experience higher than

118
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 8>normal temperatures this summer. For June through August, there's a

119
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 8>fifty to sixty percent chance of warmer weather in northern

120
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.600
<v Speaker 8>and eastern California, and a forty to fifty percent chance

121
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker 8>along the southern coast. Summer solstice starts on June twentieth,

122
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.439
<v Speaker 8>marking the first day of summer. Dinakodiak KFI News.

123
00:05:55.240 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 4>Let's check in now with ABC's Giordana Millerana. So much

124
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 4>needed aid is getting into Gaza, but not everyone's happy

125
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:04.040
<v Speaker 4>about that.

126
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 5>So what is going on?

127
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.480
<v Speaker 9>Well, we're seeing now for more than a week, aid

128
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.879
<v Speaker 9>trucks finally roll into the Gaza strip. Not enough, it

129
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 9>has to be said over and over again. I mean

130
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:21.399
<v Speaker 9>the average now for the last week since aid was

131
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.040
<v Speaker 9>allowed back in and the Israeli Prime Minister lifted that ban,

132
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 9>we've seen about one hundred trucks go in per day.

133
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 9>That's really a drop in the bucket, right. Gaza's need

134
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.399
<v Speaker 9>somewhere around five to six hundred trucks of aid. That's

135
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.240
<v Speaker 9>what we saw during the ceasefire. So this is way

136
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 9>under what they need. And we're still hearing the Israeli

137
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:50.079
<v Speaker 9>Prime Minister talk about the new Israeli American system that's

138
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.319
<v Speaker 9>supposed to ramp up and begin in the next several

139
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 9>days to deliver aid directly to the people of Gaza

140
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.680
<v Speaker 9>through several different distribution centers that will be set up

141
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 9>secured by the Israeli Army American private companies there to

142
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 9>distribute the aid directly to gossens. It's an effort really

143
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 9>to undercut Hamas's control of aid then, and by that

144
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 9>we can its grip on the Gaza strip. But having

145
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 9>said all that, this system, which was really supposed to

146
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.959
<v Speaker 9>open yesterday according to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, it is

147
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 9>not up and running yet. The site there appears to

148
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.319
<v Speaker 9>be opened, but there's no trucks going in. We're not

149
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.879
<v Speaker 9>seeing gozens come to get aid. In fact, we are

150
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.639
<v Speaker 9>seeing Hamas tell goosens not to go there. They're trying

151
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 9>to spread propaganda saying that the distribution centers are a

152
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 9>plot by Israel to spy on gossens, et cetera, et cetera.

153
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.680
<v Speaker 9>And they're telling people not to go to these distribution centers.

154
00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 9>But so far, even the first one that was supposed

155
00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:03.560
<v Speaker 9>to as I said, open yesterday in southern Gaza, it's

156
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.680
<v Speaker 9>still not up and running.

157
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 4>Okay, And there Jordana's saying don't go to these senders.

158
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.040
<v Speaker 4>Are they threatening the Palestinians or are they just saying, oh,

159
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.600
<v Speaker 4>it's you know, oh that it's not really aid, so

160
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:19.480
<v Speaker 4>just stay away.

161
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.839
<v Speaker 9>No, there was an implied threat in one of the

162
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 9>statements from the Hamas Ministry of Interior saying that they

163
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.959
<v Speaker 9>will be you know, people who go will be quote

164
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 9>unquote dealt with. So there appears to be threats that

165
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:42.159
<v Speaker 9>Hamas is Uh is leveling against people who go to

166
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:46.039
<v Speaker 9>these distribution centers, which, of course, you know, we have

167
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:52.440
<v Speaker 9>to remember. You know, we call out the intense air

168
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.279
<v Speaker 9>raids and the air bombing campaigns by the Israelis that

169
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 9>kill far too many civilians. We know it's a problem,

170
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.879
<v Speaker 9>it's been going on throughout the war. We also need

171
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.440
<v Speaker 9>to call out Hamas in times like this when they

172
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.600
<v Speaker 9>claim and we know people are hungry and starving across

173
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 9>the Gaza strip, and they're willfully and intentionally trying to

174
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 9>you know, prevent people from going to get aid to

175
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.360
<v Speaker 9>get food. And that's a problem.

176
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's an impossible situation for the Palestinian people.

177
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 5>It's just it's so tragic.

178
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 6>It is.

179
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, go ahead, No.

180
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 9>It is terrible. I mean they always seem to pay,

181
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.759
<v Speaker 9>you know, the heaviest price the Palestinians.

182
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, abcster Donna Miller, thanks so much for the information.

183
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 4>We'll keep an eye on it and hope more aid

184
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.559
<v Speaker 4>gets in. Tucks in, all right, take care, I know,

185
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:44.559
<v Speaker 4>let's get back to some of the stories coming out

186
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 4>of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Investigators have arrested

187
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.120
<v Speaker 4>more of the jail inmates who escaped in New.

188
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 10>Orleans, finding two in Texas yesterday and one in Baton Rouge.

189
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.879
<v Speaker 10>Eight of the ten inmates who escaped May sixteenth, they're

190
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.120
<v Speaker 10>now back in custody. Many have faced murder charges and

191
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:01.960
<v Speaker 10>were labeled high risk offenders.

192
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.720
<v Speaker 4>ABC's Andrew Dimbert says the men crawled through a hole

193
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:10.240
<v Speaker 4>behind a toilet earlier this month, reportedly using electric hair

194
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.759
<v Speaker 4>trimers to cut through the cell wall. At least nine

195
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.399
<v Speaker 4>people have been arrested for helping them. A US German

196
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 4>citizen has been charged with trying to bomb an embassy

197
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 4>building in Israel. He was arrested in New York on Sunday.

198
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:27.039
<v Speaker 4>ABC Stephani Ramos says Joseph Neumayer had been in Tel

199
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 4>Aviv before that.

200
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.039
<v Speaker 6>Authority say Newmeyer arrived in Israel in April.

201
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:32.159
<v Speaker 5>He was deported to the.

202
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.720
<v Speaker 2>US and arrested by the FBI at JFK Airport this weekend.

203
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 4>He's charged with attempting to destroy the US embassy by

204
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.840
<v Speaker 4>means of fire or explosive. He's facing up to twenty

205
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.799
<v Speaker 4>years in prison if convicted. Nearly thirty people have been

206
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.480
<v Speaker 4>hurt by a mini van that plowed into crowds of

207
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 4>soccer fans celebrating in Liverpool, England. Witnesses say the driver

208
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 4>spread through the crowd lining the parade route, but Assistant

209
00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:01.080
<v Speaker 4>Chief Constable Jenny Simms with my Merseyside Police says they're

210
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.600
<v Speaker 4>not treating it as terrorism.

211
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:06.200
<v Speaker 1>You believe this to be an isolated incident and we

212
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 1>are not currently looking for anyone else in relation to it.

213
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:14.000
<v Speaker 4>Things escalator when the crowd started smashing the minivan's windows.

214
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.960
<v Speaker 4>The driver hit the gas again, hitting more parade goers.

215
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:20.159
<v Speaker 4>He is now in police custody. A boat captain in

216
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:25.240
<v Speaker 4>Florida has been sentenced for shooting and poisoning dolphins. Zachary

217
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.200
<v Speaker 4>Barfield ran a charter fishing boat out of Panama City.

218
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.919
<v Speaker 4>Prosecutors say shot at least five dolphins with a shotgun

219
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.080
<v Speaker 4>and fed poisoned bait to many more between twenty twenty

220
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.240
<v Speaker 4>two and twenty twenty three because he was angry the

221
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.840
<v Speaker 4>dolphins were stealing fish from his clients. At least one

222
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:46.279
<v Speaker 4>dolphin was killed, others became sick. Barfield was sentenced last

223
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:47.879
<v Speaker 4>week to a month in jail in a fifty one

224
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:52.120
<v Speaker 4>thousand dollars fine. Not nearly enough. Can I just say that,

225
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.039
<v Speaker 4>not nearly enough? Oh my gosh, that's so infuriating. President

226
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.440
<v Speaker 4>Trump and House Speaker Johnson are urging the Senate to

227
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.840
<v Speaker 4>make minimal changes to the the One Big Beautiful Bill Act,

228
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 4>which was recently passed in the House. The goal is

229
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 4>to get the bill signed into law by the fourth

230
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:10.080
<v Speaker 4>of July. Some Republican senators are pushing back. They say

231
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:13.840
<v Speaker 4>the bill increases the deficit and lacks serious spending cuts.

232
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:15.080
<v Speaker 5>A hearing is.

233
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.799
<v Speaker 4>Set for Thursday over a federal judge's order that temporarily

234
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.759
<v Speaker 4>blocked the Trump administration's ban on international students enrolling in

235
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 4>Harvard ABC Selina Wang says the government is threatening to

236
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:29.039
<v Speaker 4>take three billion dollars in grants away from Harvard Harvard

237
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 4>and give them to trade schools instead.

238
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 6>The White House claims Harvard has become a hotbed of

239
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 6>anti American, anti Semitic, pro terrorist agitators, allegations.

240
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:38.960
<v Speaker 5>Harvard denies.

241
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.759
<v Speaker 4>Nearly seven thousand international students attend Harvard. The first locally

242
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.279
<v Speaker 4>born giant pandas in Hong Kong finally have names. They

243
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:51.639
<v Speaker 4>are Jia and Day Day. I'm not even sure if

244
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm pronouncing this right. The cubs had been affectionately known

245
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 4>as Elder Sister and Little Brother. They were born in August,

246
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:00.279
<v Speaker 4>and the names were announced today in a ceremony theme

247
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.159
<v Speaker 4>park where they live. Their parents and two other giant

248
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:06.519
<v Speaker 4>pandas that arrived from mainland China last year are also there.

249
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:10.759
<v Speaker 4>The names were winning suggestions from residents in a naming contest.

250
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.879
<v Speaker 4>Jiazia and Day Day Day Day, They're what I can remember. Yeah,

260
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.000
<v Speaker 4>seventy year old man has been killed in a crash

261
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:49.200
<v Speaker 4>with an LAPD SUV and Sun Valley. The crash happened

262
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.159
<v Speaker 4>shortly before two yesterday afternoon on Sataqoi Street.

263
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.960
<v Speaker 5>The man died at the scene. Two officers were hurt.

264
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.519
<v Speaker 5>Their injuries are not said to be life threatening. The

265
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.519
<v Speaker 5>Palm Springs fertility clinic that got targeted in a car

266
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.600
<v Speaker 5>bombing is set to reopen at a temporary location today.

267
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.639
<v Speaker 5>It's going to be across the street. The clinic on

268
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:09.440
<v Speaker 5>North Indian Canyon Drive was severely damaged in the bombing

269
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:11.720
<v Speaker 5>May seventeenth. The bomber was killed.

270
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.879
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers' first baseman, Freddie Freeman, and his wife Chelsea, have

271
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.879
<v Speaker 4>made a one million dollar donation to Children's Hospital of

272
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.879
<v Speaker 4>Orange County why Well.

273
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:21.879
<v Speaker 5>Last year, the.

274
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:25.919
<v Speaker 4>Hospital treated Freeman's son Maximus, after he developed a severe

275
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:31.039
<v Speaker 4>case of gian Barret syndrome. He has since recovered. Let's

276
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.960
<v Speaker 4>say good morning now to kfi's Rory O'Neill.

277
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.440
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Rory, we all love the perks.

278
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.600
<v Speaker 4>We like the cash back on our Costco cards, miles

279
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.000
<v Speaker 4>with our credit cards, access to airport lounges, and free

280
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.159
<v Speaker 4>Uber rides with American Express Gold card.

281
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:47.320
<v Speaker 5>But the goodies seemed to be going away. What in

282
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:48.120
<v Speaker 5>the heck is going on?

283
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this essentially is happening because a lot of the

284
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:54.799
<v Speaker 2>companies that provide the goodie, whether it's that airport lounge

285
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.120
<v Speaker 2>or that hotel or that rental car company, some of

286
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>them are looking at what might be a dodgy summer

287
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.799
<v Speaker 2>for domestic travel, and the concern is they might start

288
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.159
<v Speaker 2>to roll back on some of those sweet, sweet premiums.

289
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.639
<v Speaker 2>And you know, some of the experts who look at

290
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 2>the credit card space say, you know, if you are

291
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.519
<v Speaker 2>hoarding these points or you've got to if you've built

292
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 2>up pretty strong balances of points or miles, this may

293
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.120
<v Speaker 2>be the time to cash in. The concern is, if

294
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:24.759
<v Speaker 2>you have sixty thousand miles, it's a fifty thousand miles

295
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 2>for a free airline ticket. Well maybe they're going to

296
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.720
<v Speaker 2>up it to one hundred thousand miles and you just

297
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.720
<v Speaker 2>missed the boat or the airplan, I guess in that case.

298
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:36.559
<v Speaker 2>So they're suggesting that you don't hoard points and make

299
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:40.039
<v Speaker 2>sure that you're using a card that gives you rewards

300
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.399
<v Speaker 2>that you actually want to use. You know, sometimes our

301
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>travel patterns change, we fall in love with another kind

302
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 2>of a hotel chain or airline or whatever it may be.

303
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.279
<v Speaker 2>So make sure that if you are using a card

304
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.080
<v Speaker 2>with perks, that you actually have a perk you want.

305
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.159
<v Speaker 2>And the last thing, which is paramount over everything, make

306
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 2>sure you pay the card in full every month.

307
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.240
<v Speaker 3>Otherwise this deal does not help you out.

308
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.840
<v Speaker 5>Because you're paying more to get the perks.

309
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Right, These twenty three percent interest rates pretty much on

310
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.639
<v Speaker 2>average these days for credit cards really just helped the banks.

311
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.600
<v Speaker 2>And you're much better off putting that money on the

312
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:21.360
<v Speaker 2>credit card balance or paying it off entirely and paying

313
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:22.720
<v Speaker 2>for the perk separately, of.

314
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.639
<v Speaker 4>Course, and that's information our very own Joel Larsgard can

315
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.320
<v Speaker 4>get behind. We're going to be talking to him more

316
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.360
<v Speaker 4>about some other fun credit things a little bit later

317
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 4>this hour. So you mentioned the mileage plans and not

318
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.240
<v Speaker 4>to hoard them, and I know that I do kind

319
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:41.200
<v Speaker 4>of hoard my Alaska Airlines miles. But I've noticed then

320
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 4>that they they'll come out and they'll go.

321
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:46.519
<v Speaker 5>Hey, we've made these great new changes right to.

322
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:48.559
<v Speaker 4>The mileage plans, and you got to be careful because

323
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.360
<v Speaker 4>those great new changes generally aren't. I know that Southwest

324
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.039
<v Speaker 4>made changes a couple of years ago to theirs. They

325
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.200
<v Speaker 4>used to have, like you fly eight times and then

326
00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:58.000
<v Speaker 4>you get a free ride.

327
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:02.840
<v Speaker 2>That's gone well, right, and then look at what's Alaska

328
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.240
<v Speaker 2>and what's the future of that airline and mergers and

329
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:07.440
<v Speaker 2>who just got bought and who's on top, and so

330
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.720
<v Speaker 2>now what's happening to all this That also adds to

331
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:14.720
<v Speaker 2>some of the confusion. And look, Southwest is changing again.

332
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Today is the last day you can buy a ticket

333
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.960
<v Speaker 2>on Southwest and still get two free bags to fly.

334
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:23.039
<v Speaker 3>That policy started, That policy.

335
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Ends tomorrow, and then they're going to introduce this basic fare,

336
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:32.720
<v Speaker 2>which not to be not to denigrate Spirit Airlines, but

337
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.319
<v Speaker 2>essentially they're selling a spirit kind of ticket. It comes

338
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>with nothing and you board the plane last. That's how

339
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:42.519
<v Speaker 2>cheap this fair is going to be from Southwest. And

340
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:45.000
<v Speaker 2>if that's what you're interested in, good luck to you.

341
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.000
<v Speaker 2>But the Southwest is even going to start assigned seating,

342
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.319
<v Speaker 2>but that's not until fall. The big one to remember

343
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.880
<v Speaker 2>is that the free bag policy. You can buy the

344
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.599
<v Speaker 2>tickets through today and then that's it.

345
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:58.559
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I gotta say I like Southwest, but my friend

346
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Debbie and I were just talking about this year. She goes,

347
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I'm gonna find anymore because they're going

348
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.920
<v Speaker 4>to the super cheap like the not having the assigned

349
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.559
<v Speaker 4>seats has always been, you know, it is what it is,

350
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:11.440
<v Speaker 4>kind of going to the bargain basement.

351
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:13.960
<v Speaker 5>Airlines is just like stop you guys.

352
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.519
<v Speaker 3>Well it's a race to the bottom, right You're like, yeah,

353
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:18.440
<v Speaker 3>do I have this card? And why do I have that?

354
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.559
<v Speaker 2>And maybe you want to start flying, you know, maybe

355
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 2>you want another airline with more of the perks and

356
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.119
<v Speaker 2>you start flying with them. At the same time, some

357
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Southwest credit card users or elite people will be able

358
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.200
<v Speaker 2>to have the free bag, so again, sort of manage

359
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:36.160
<v Speaker 2>these things more carefully, because look, these credit card companies.

360
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:37.799
<v Speaker 3>Are not loyal to you, so why are we loyal

361
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:38.480
<v Speaker 3>to them? Right?

362
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.279
<v Speaker 2>So if it means hopping around and finding the best

363
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.519
<v Speaker 2>deal for you, go do it, because they're not going

364
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:44.759
<v Speaker 2>to do.

365
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.400
<v Speaker 3>It for you. They don't really reward your loyalty at

366
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:48.720
<v Speaker 3>the end.

367
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Rory, is there anywhere that you know of that

368
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:54.319
<v Speaker 4>people can find kind of the perks that are still

369
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:55.000
<v Speaker 4>being offered?

370
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:56.480
<v Speaker 5>Or do you just have to search them out?

371
00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:57.039
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

372
00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:59.599
<v Speaker 2>I always like to refer to the Points Guy website.

373
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 2>They dot com. They always seem to follow what's next,

374
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:06.799
<v Speaker 2>and they're really good on those maximizing points and doing

375
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:07.680
<v Speaker 2>the crazy stuff.

376
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:09.039
<v Speaker 3>But look, I'm more for it.

377
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Can I just get an upgrade as I fly from

378
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Detroit to Kansas City? I don't need the I get

379
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.519
<v Speaker 2>to fly in the sky apartment of Cutter Airlines?

380
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:20.799
<v Speaker 3>No, No, I just want the little perks. I don't

381
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:21.680
<v Speaker 3>need the big ones.

382
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.079
<v Speaker 2>And I'm six ft six so anything I can get

383
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to gets me a lot more leg room. That's the

384
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:27.799
<v Speaker 2>that's the benefit. All snatch up.

385
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.319
<v Speaker 4>Okay, forget that, I just forgot everything you said because

386
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:32.440
<v Speaker 4>you said sky apartment on Cutter Airlines.

387
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:32.920
<v Speaker 5>I want that.

388
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's it's got a shower and it's got yeah,

<v Speaker 2>I mean it's for thirty dollars.

390
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:41.720
<v Speaker 3>I think I add a zero, but yeah, really yeah,

391
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.680
<v Speaker 3>it's something crazy like that.

392
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:43.039
<v Speaker 5>Okay.

393
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, on that note, welcome back to Radio Amy.

403
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.680
<v Speaker 4>since nineteen seventy seven in California, ninety nine percent of

404

428
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:32.440

444
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:23.079

<v Speaker 4>celebrating the city's Premier League championship. Forty five people were hurt,

454
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:57.200
<v Speaker 4>including at least four children. Four of the victims, including

455
00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:59.599
<v Speaker 4>a child, were trapped under the van, and firefighters had

456
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.359
<v Speaker 4>to lift the van off to free them. A fifty

457
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.519
<v Speaker 4>three year old man's been arrested. Police say they believe

458
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.359
<v Speaker 4>he acted alone and this is not being investigated as

459
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.440
<v Speaker 4>an act of terror. Noah has predicted a hotter than

460
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:14.319
<v Speaker 4>normal summer for California from June through August. Forecasters say

461
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:17.519
<v Speaker 4>there's a fifty to sixty percent chance of warmer than

462
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:20.960
<v Speaker 4>normal weather for northern and eastern California, and a forty

463
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:23.279
<v Speaker 4>to fifty percent chance it'll be hotter than normal in

464
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.680
<v Speaker 4>southern California. The first day of summer is June twentieth.

465
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.079
<v Speaker 4>At six oh five, it's handle on the news.

466
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:32.039
<v Speaker 5>Bill is back.

467
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:34.279
<v Speaker 4>I bet you he's going to have a thing or

468
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:36.440
<v Speaker 4>two to say, and he's probably really depress because Cosco

469
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:40.359
<v Speaker 4>was closed yesterday. Let's say good morning now to ABC's

470
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:43.440
<v Speaker 4>Karen Travers. So, Karen, I don't know if you remember

471
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:47.400
<v Speaker 4>these old the old ads. They were EF Hutton ads,

472
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:50.519
<v Speaker 4>and they said, when EF Hutton talks, people listen. So

473
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:53.759
<v Speaker 4>now it's kind of like when President Trump talks, the

474
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:54.880
<v Speaker 4>stock markets listen.

475
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:58.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, I mean, and we'll see what the reaction

476
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:02.519
<v Speaker 6>is today. There was some relief that there wasn't going

477
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:05.039
<v Speaker 6>to be at the end of this week a fifty

478
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:08.480
<v Speaker 6>percent tariff on the EU, but the threat is still

479
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.079
<v Speaker 6>out there. The President has said that this is a

480
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:15.599
<v Speaker 6>pause until July ninth, so negotiations can take place. But

481
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.759
<v Speaker 6>you know, we've heard this booker from the President before,

482
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:23.000
<v Speaker 6>where there's a significant tariff that threatens and then you know,

483
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:25.519
<v Speaker 6>in some amount of time he backs off of it

484
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:28.839
<v Speaker 6>to talk about negotiations. And this one was a forty

485
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:30.519
<v Speaker 6>eight hour threat. So it was kind of like, oh,

486
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.000
<v Speaker 6>we're getting threats, blink, and you missed it because it

487
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:35.559
<v Speaker 6>was a holiday weekend. But we'll see that what the

488
00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:38.839
<v Speaker 6>Wall Street reaction is today, and we'll also see where

489
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:39.720
<v Speaker 6>the negotiations go.

490
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:39.960
<v Speaker 4>Now.

491
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.640
<v Speaker 6>Between here and July ninth, the president's trade representative was

492
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.200
<v Speaker 6>meeting with his European counterpart on the phone, yesterday. The

493
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:49.960
<v Speaker 6>Commerce Secretary also had a conversation. The President spoke with

494
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:53.960
<v Speaker 6>the EU Commission leader Ursul Evanderland on Sunday, and that's

495
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:57.240
<v Speaker 6>what prompted the delay until July ninth. So the President

496
00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:59.480
<v Speaker 6>was also out last week if there was anything the

497
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.559
<v Speaker 6>E could do to avoid these tariffs, and he said,

498
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.519
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. We're going to see what happens. So

499
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:09.519
<v Speaker 6>you know, stay tuned for what this will look like

500
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:12.920
<v Speaker 6>now in terms of negotiations and how hard ball the

501
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:14.440
<v Speaker 6>president plays in the coming weeks.

502
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and Karen, when he did that forty eight hour

503
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.880
<v Speaker 4>panic button, that was because I believe and correct me

504
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:25.160
<v Speaker 4>if I'm wrong. Didn't he say we're going to put

505
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.400
<v Speaker 4>the tariffs on because negotiations aren't going anywhere.

506
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:33.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, exactly, you know, and it was to spark a

507
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.359
<v Speaker 6>progress in the negotiations and our shore Vanderlaine had said

508
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.720
<v Speaker 6>that Europe is ready now to advance talk swiftly and decisively.

509
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:43.400
<v Speaker 6>The President said, we'll rapidly get together and see if

510
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:45.640
<v Speaker 6>we can work things out. So, you know, you light

511
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.480
<v Speaker 6>a fire by threatening such a sweeping tariff like that,

512
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.559
<v Speaker 6>and maybe the conversations can move forward. But you know,

513
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.799
<v Speaker 6>remember too, we're also in this ninety day pause at

514
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:58.599
<v Speaker 6>this point. On the other big round of terrifts, the

515
00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:02.079
<v Speaker 6>President had announced early April, then a week later had

516
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:05.680
<v Speaker 6>put on pause so they can negotiate trade deals. Besides

517
00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:08.799
<v Speaker 6>the UK, there hasn't been an announcement at this point

518
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.079
<v Speaker 6>of another trade deal. There was talk about progress with

519
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:15.559
<v Speaker 6>one with India, maybe South Korea, Japan or Vietnam, but

520
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.519
<v Speaker 6>we haven't heard that yet and we'll about halfway through

521
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:19.599
<v Speaker 6>that ninety day period.

522
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:21.799
<v Speaker 5>I swear I need a flow chart to keep track

523
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.160
<v Speaker 5>of all of this stuff. ABC's Karen Travis, you have

524
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:25.799
<v Speaker 5>many documents that you do.

525
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.400
<v Speaker 4>ABC's Karen Travers. Thanks so much for the update. Appreciate it.

526
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:33.160
<v Speaker 5>Have a great day, all right, you too. Yeah, my

527
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:35.799
<v Speaker 5>head is just spinning on the what's on, what's off?

528
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:39.519
<v Speaker 4>How much? How what's pausing? Wait, that's paused, But we're

529
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:40.480
<v Speaker 4>still going to do this one.

530
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

531
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.200
<v Speaker 4>I would imagine people with much bigger brains are keeping

532
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.039
<v Speaker 4>track of this. Speaking of people with bigger brains, let's

533
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:49.839
<v Speaker 4>check in with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe.

534
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:52.000
<v Speaker 5>Get in your business now, Courtney.

535
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.920
<v Speaker 4>We were just talking about the tariffs and how the

536
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:58.680
<v Speaker 4>President saying, hey, we're putting a pause on those until July.

537
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 4>Is is promising to start the stock market out in

538
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.839
<v Speaker 4>a positive light this morning, Yes, no doubt about it.

539
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:10.720
<v Speaker 7>Anytime that there's any sort of we're going to delay things,

540
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:13.720
<v Speaker 7>we're going to move it forward or it's not going

541
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:16.640
<v Speaker 7>to happen, and we end up seeing the markets higher.

542
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:20.599
<v Speaker 7>Good morning, by the way, Happy Tuesday. So traders are

543
00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:23.440
<v Speaker 7>back in the office today and we're seeing things popping higher.

544
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:25.799
<v Speaker 7>Looking at the Dow right now, it's up five hundred

545
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:27.839
<v Speaker 7>and four points. But it was a much different story

546
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:32.920
<v Speaker 7>on Friday because the major benchmarks saw major losses because

547
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.079
<v Speaker 7>Wall Street was rattled by threats to impose aggressive tariffs

548
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:37.200
<v Speaker 7>on Apple and also.

549
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:37.880
<v Speaker 5>The European Union.

550
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:40.839
<v Speaker 7>But it seems the European Union is now back at

551
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:43.319
<v Speaker 7>the table accelerating these trade talks too.

552
00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:45.839
<v Speaker 5>The Dow fell two hundred and fifty six points the

553
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:46.279
<v Speaker 5>other day.

554
00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:50.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm okady and so Trump backed off his trade tariffs

555
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:52.880
<v Speaker 4>against the EU. But has he said anything more about

556
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:54.559
<v Speaker 4>the Apple tariffs.

557
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:59.759
<v Speaker 7>No, and Apple's been undergoing some significant issues of late.

558
00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:05.400
<v Speaker 7>It actually was reported that he used to be Tim

559
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:08.440
<v Speaker 7>Cook used to be one of President Trump's favorites but

560
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:12.519
<v Speaker 7>President Trump asked a bunch of CEOs and said, hey.

561
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:14.000
<v Speaker 5>Do you want to come with me on my trip

562
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:18.359
<v Speaker 5>to the Middle East? And he said no. So it

563
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.680
<v Speaker 5>ends up being a little bit of a hit lately.

564
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:25.240
<v Speaker 7>And I mean, we have this demand, they want, this

565
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:29.400
<v Speaker 7>demand for Apple to make iPhones in the US, but

566
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:32.279
<v Speaker 7>it's going to be quite difficult for them. I mean,

567
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.960
<v Speaker 7>some estimates have it that it's going to cost about

568
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:38.240
<v Speaker 7>thirty five hundred dollars of an iPhone, is right, because

569
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:39.599
<v Speaker 7>labor are.

570
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:42.480
<v Speaker 4>Like a minimum of thirty dollars no hour probably to

571
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:45.200
<v Speaker 4>make it in the US where across the you know

572
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.039
<v Speaker 4>wherever it's being made now mainly in China, right yet,

573
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:49.359
<v Speaker 4>but it's a dollar.

574
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:50.160
<v Speaker 5>Too, yeah.

575
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:50.599
<v Speaker 12>Yeah.

576
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:53.720
<v Speaker 7>And also they say they don't have the engineering know

577
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:56.160
<v Speaker 7>how here in the United States compared to their So

578
00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:00.160
<v Speaker 7>there's that's a big difference. So the demand and this

579
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:04.519
<v Speaker 7>real big challenge to the company and the supply chain

580
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:07.079
<v Speaker 7>has been concentrated in China for years and to be

581
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:09.759
<v Speaker 7>able to move a supply chain in any sort of

582
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:12.759
<v Speaker 7>way for any sort of company is going to be

583
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:16.440
<v Speaker 7>quite difficult because they have the suppliers, they have the manufacturing,

584
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:19.200
<v Speaker 7>they have the engineering, know how they are not as

585
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:19.680
<v Speaker 7>much here.

586
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.559
<v Speaker 4>Tariffs are hitting another retailer. We were talking about tariffs earlier,

587
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:26.279
<v Speaker 4>but this time it's Claire's.

588
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:30.839
<v Speaker 7>Yes, the tween accessory store that my daughter absolutely loves.

589
00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:34.599
<v Speaker 7>So they're consulting with some financial advisors on way to

590
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:38.599
<v Speaker 7>shore up their finances. The mall staple is confronting higher

591
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:42.640
<v Speaker 7>import costs. Obviously the deteriorating outlook for consumer spending. People

592
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:45.799
<v Speaker 7>are a little more worried holding onto their wallets. But

593
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:49.240
<v Speaker 7>the company heavily depends on China to source its merchandise,

594
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:52.519
<v Speaker 7>and it's merchandise not so expensive so tweens can afford it.

595
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:56.160
<v Speaker 7>But Claire's has more than twenty seven hundred locations across

596
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.799
<v Speaker 7>seventeen countries, and I haven't stepped foot in one in

597
00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:03.880
<v Speaker 7>about twelve years, well except for my st Okay and

598
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:07.440
<v Speaker 7>really Quick. McDonald's is calling it a rap on its

599
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:08.240
<v Speaker 7>new beverage.

600
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:09.079
<v Speaker 13>Yeah.

601
00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:11.880
<v Speaker 7>Well it's a beverage brand and it's called Cosmics, and

602
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.359
<v Speaker 7>it opened up in a bunch of locations, not many,

603
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.200
<v Speaker 7>but they wanted this experimental spinoff two years ago to

604
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:21.960
<v Speaker 7>compete with the soda chain Swig. Many people have seen this.

605
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker 7>They're not as popular on the East Coast, but you

606
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.119
<v Speaker 7>see it on Real Housewives.

607
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:28.920
<v Speaker 5>I've never seen Salt Lake City.

608
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:33.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's this dirty soda trend where people take soda

609
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:35.200
<v Speaker 7>and then they add milk.

610
00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:38.400
<v Speaker 5>To it or different syrups. It's a little it seems

611
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:40.480
<v Speaker 5>a little much. I don't know. I couldn't do it.

612
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:45.160
<v Speaker 7>But this chain had specialty lemonades and teas, blended beverages,

613
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:46.119
<v Speaker 7>iced coffees.

614
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:49.240
<v Speaker 5>Was the store so thetaurant front.

615
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:52.400
<v Speaker 7>Yes, it was a store about and they only had

616
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:54.279
<v Speaker 7>a couple of them, not many of them, because they

617
00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:56.640
<v Speaker 7>wanted to see if this pilot would take off. But

618
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.680
<v Speaker 7>now they say they're going to take lessons from cosmics

619
00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:02.359
<v Speaker 7>this brand and then applied to their own restaurant. So

620
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.160
<v Speaker 7>try to bring these specialized coffees into McDonald's. Okay, So

621
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:08.839
<v Speaker 7>wasn't so successful. I don't think we're missing much on

622
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:11.599
<v Speaker 7>that one. At thirty so doesnomic think?

623
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:12.079
<v Speaker 5>All right?

624
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:14.799
<v Speaker 4>Getting in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney don Hojo as

625
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:17.319
<v Speaker 4>we do every day, and we'll talk to you again

626
00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:20.440
<v Speaker 4>tomorrow at five point forty. Definitely see you later, all right,

627
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.079
<v Speaker 4>Thanks Cortney. Let's get back to some of the stories

628
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:25.000
<v Speaker 4>coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The

629
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:28.079
<v Speaker 4>city of La has fallen well short of state mandated

630
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:30.880
<v Speaker 4>housing goals, and new report shows there were seventeen thousand

631
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.160
<v Speaker 4>housing units built in twenty twenty four. That's just thirty

632
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.920
<v Speaker 4>percent of what state regulators are requiring. State law requires

633
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:40.240
<v Speaker 4>LA to build four hundred and fifty six thousand new

634
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:43.880
<v Speaker 4>housing units each year between twenty twenty one and twenty

635
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:46.960
<v Speaker 4>twenty nine. Roughly one hundred eighty five thousand of those

636
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:50.480
<v Speaker 4>must be affordable housing units. A person's been hurt in

637
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:52.720
<v Speaker 4>a car to car shooting and Compton. The driver was

638
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:56.200
<v Speaker 4>on the seven ten freeway yesterday afternoon when he was

639
00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:59.440
<v Speaker 4>reportedly hitting the leg. LA Kenny Sheriff's deputy say the

640
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:01.319
<v Speaker 4>man got off off the freeway and pulled into a

641
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:04.240
<v Speaker 4>gas station at a laundro Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue to

642
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:05.000
<v Speaker 4>ask for help.

643
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:08.240
<v Speaker 5>He was taken to the hospital. No word on why

644
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:09.960
<v Speaker 5>shots might have been fired.

645
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:12.759
<v Speaker 4>The Assemblies passed a bill making it illegal for state

646
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.839
<v Speaker 4>lawmakers to sign non disclosure agreements when handling taxpayer money

647
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:17.920
<v Speaker 4>or creating laws.

648
00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:21.720
<v Speaker 8>The bill prevents lawmakers from keeping information secret, with penalties

649
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:26.079
<v Speaker 8>potentially including misdemeanors or felonies enforced by local district attorneys.

650
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:28.440
<v Speaker 5>The bill will now be considered by the state Senate.

651
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:32.880
<v Speaker 4>Dinacodiac kf I news A dozen illegal immigrants have been

652
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:35.599
<v Speaker 4>picked up in Long Beach after getting a ride up

653
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:39.079
<v Speaker 4>from Mexico on a pleasure boat. The group was arrested

654
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:42.279
<v Speaker 4>early yesterday morning. Customs and Border Patrol officials say they

655
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:44.799
<v Speaker 4>spotted the group traveling up the coast from Mexico to

656
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:48.400
<v Speaker 4>Long Beach, all twelve our Mexican citizens. A series of

657
00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:51.119
<v Speaker 4>small earthquakes has rumbled off the coast of northern California.

658
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:54.279
<v Speaker 4>The US Geological Services A four point one magnitude quake

659
00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:58.400
<v Speaker 4>hit at one seventeen a m. Yesterday, with the largest

660
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:00.720
<v Speaker 4>of the quakes a four point five or a few

661
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:03.640
<v Speaker 4>seconds later. At least four more quakes rattled the area

662
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:07.839
<v Speaker 4>through the early morning. W NBA superstar Caitlin Clark is

663
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.039
<v Speaker 4>going to be out of action for at least two weeks.

664
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:13.039
<v Speaker 4>The Indiana Fever says she has a left quad strain.

665
00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:15.200
<v Speaker 4>This will be the first time Clark has been out

666
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:18.200
<v Speaker 4>of action since starting her w NBA career. She played

667
00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:22.039
<v Speaker 4>every game in her rookie season last year. Let's say

668
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.319
<v Speaker 4>good morning now to the host of How to Money

669
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:27.519
<v Speaker 4>on KFI every Sunday. It's Joel Larsgard.

670
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:29.759
<v Speaker 14>Morning, Joel, Morning Amy.

671
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:35.519
<v Speaker 4>We have been talking about the Big Beautiful Bill that

672
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:40.240
<v Speaker 4>includes no taxes on tips, and so we wanted to

673
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:42.480
<v Speaker 4>dig into that a little bit and find out one

674
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:43.880
<v Speaker 4>if you think that's a good idea, and then talk

675
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:46.759
<v Speaker 4>about tipping in general, because it's really well, it ticks

676
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:47.119
<v Speaker 4>me off.

677
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:50.960
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, the Big Beautiful Bill, there's still like, you know,

678
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:53.440
<v Speaker 14>how's it going to shake out, And there's a lot

679
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:56.279
<v Speaker 14>of stuff in it to kind of parse through, and

680
00:33:57.000 --> 00:34:00.319
<v Speaker 14>it's going to impact all of our personal finances based

681
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:03.200
<v Speaker 14>on you know, how things actually shake out in the end.

682
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:05.200
<v Speaker 14>And the note tax on tips is one of the

683
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:08.519
<v Speaker 14>most interesting things to me. And it was a proposal

684
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:10.840
<v Speaker 14>that seemed like it was kind of a by the

685
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:13.440
<v Speaker 14>seat of the pants, you know, spur of the moment

686
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:17.320
<v Speaker 14>sort of thought from President Trump on the when he

687
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:20.559
<v Speaker 14>was campaigning. And then you remember, if if you remember correctly,

688
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:24.199
<v Speaker 14>the Kamala Harris campaign said yeah, they're like, yeah, we

689
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:25.840
<v Speaker 14>think it is a great idea too. So it's like

690
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:29.239
<v Speaker 14>a political as a political tool, it makes sense, right,

691
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:33.360
<v Speaker 14>you're catering to a certain voter class. As a actual

692
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:37.199
<v Speaker 14>policy being implemented, I think there's a whole bunch of

693
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:41.000
<v Speaker 14>opportunity to really like swing and miss, and so I

694
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:43.880
<v Speaker 14>don't love the idea of saying, hey, this is a

695
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:47.239
<v Speaker 14>particular way you earn your income, and because of that,

696
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:50.000
<v Speaker 14>we're going to we're not going to make you pay

697
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:53.440
<v Speaker 14>taxes on this particular kind of income. Same think about

698
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.039
<v Speaker 14>somebody who's like a landscaper or something like that, and

699
00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:59.920
<v Speaker 14>maybe they earn a similar amount of money per hour

700
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:03.280
<v Speaker 14>or but their income is going to be taxed at

701
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:06.920
<v Speaker 14>regular ordinary income tax rates, unlike somebody who's let's say,

702
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:08.920
<v Speaker 14>working in the service industry. And so I think it

703
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:13.119
<v Speaker 14>will incentivize people to consider different jobs. And I think

704
00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:18.079
<v Speaker 14>it will also incentivize different businesses to maybe pay their

705
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:20.960
<v Speaker 14>employees less and try to rely on tips more and

706
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:22.719
<v Speaker 14>talk about, hey, this is actually going to help your

707
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:25.079
<v Speaker 14>tax bill in the end. It's also interesting because a

708
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:27.199
<v Speaker 14>lot of the people in some of these industries who

709
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:29.880
<v Speaker 14>rely on tips in a lot of ways, well, they're

710
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.920
<v Speaker 14>not paying much in taxes on those tips anyway.

711
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:36.400
<v Speaker 5>So I get because because they're cash, so they're not

712
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:37.039
<v Speaker 5>claiming them.

713
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:39.920
<v Speaker 14>All well that and also because they don't make enough

714
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:43.199
<v Speaker 14>money maybe over the standard deduction to say that there's

715
00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:46.440
<v Speaker 14>a meaningful tax levied against the income that they're making

716
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:48.840
<v Speaker 14>from tips. And of course cash tips are supposed to

717
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:51.320
<v Speaker 14>be reported to the IRS, but we all know that

718
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:52.360
<v Speaker 14>doesn't happen all the time.

719
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:58.360
<v Speaker 4>And then with the servers, they're traditionally not paid very well,

720
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:01.599
<v Speaker 4>like have really low base salaries, right, you rely on

721
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:05.559
<v Speaker 4>the tips, whereas a gardener may have a higher hourly

722
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:08.320
<v Speaker 4>rate but not get the tips.

723
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:09.199
<v Speaker 3>Right.

724
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:11.119
<v Speaker 14>And but the thing is, at the end of the day,

725
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:13.719
<v Speaker 14>their income could be roughly the same and one person

726
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:17.800
<v Speaker 14>pays less tax because of just the classification of their income.

727
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:20.159
<v Speaker 14>The other thing I think this is going to do,

728
00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:22.440
<v Speaker 14>and we've seen you alluded to this at the very beginning.

729
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:24.639
<v Speaker 14>People are already kind of frustrated with tipping culture in

730
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:27.360
<v Speaker 14>the United States. And I'm not I'm not like a

731
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:29.440
<v Speaker 14>Europhile or anything like that. I don't want I don't

732
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:31.639
<v Speaker 14>want to necessarily turn into Europe. But that's one of

733
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:36.239
<v Speaker 14>my favorite things about about Europe is that the servers

734
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:40.159
<v Speaker 14>and workers in restaurants and they get paid just a

735
00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:43.280
<v Speaker 14>regular wage that they agree to work for and then

736
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.639
<v Speaker 14>tips are off the table. And I like that just

737
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:49.280
<v Speaker 14>as a as a consumer, as a customer, and I

738
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.880
<v Speaker 14>think more this is actually going to incentivize tipping culture

739
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:55.920
<v Speaker 14>to go off the rails even more, and so I

740
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:58.599
<v Speaker 14>think there's just a hole. It reminds me of even

741
00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:01.119
<v Speaker 14>just with the tariffs, And I'm saying, well, with tariffs,

742
00:37:01.239 --> 00:37:04.119
<v Speaker 14>this is going to incentivize, like on the hardware and

743
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:05.880
<v Speaker 14>on the goods, we're going to pay a tariff on

744
00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:07.880
<v Speaker 14>that stuff. Well what if instead companies can get you

745
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:10.840
<v Speaker 14>to pay a subscription and charge you less for the

746
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:13.320
<v Speaker 14>actual device ahead of time, and so we're already in

747
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:15.920
<v Speaker 14>this amped up subscription economy. Well, tariffs are going to

748
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.920
<v Speaker 14>increase that the same thing is true, I think of

749
00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:20.480
<v Speaker 14>no taxes on tips. If this goes through in the

750
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:23.960
<v Speaker 14>final big beautiful Bill as it's being called, then it's

751
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:28.440
<v Speaker 14>only going to incentivize tipping culture to tilt heavier in

752
00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:30.800
<v Speaker 14>that direction, and we as consumers are going to be

753
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:32.840
<v Speaker 14>even more frustrated. Well, when are we supposed to tip?

754
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:33.679
<v Speaker 3>How do we know?

755
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:37.360
<v Speaker 14>And is the company like pulling a fast one on me?

756
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:41.079
<v Speaker 14>Increasing like you know, higher suggested tip amounts and I'm

757
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:43.440
<v Speaker 14>actually paying less for the good because I'm tipping more.

758
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:45.800
<v Speaker 14>It's going to just make things even more difficult, I

759
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:47.159
<v Speaker 14>think for consumers to parse, and.

760
00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:49.559
<v Speaker 4>I will tell you in Europe it is frustrating because

761
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:52.159
<v Speaker 4>Americans are used to tipping and they're like, yeah, you

762
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:54.280
<v Speaker 4>don't have to, but there is sort of this should

763
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:57.039
<v Speaker 4>we and there when we were googling it because we

764
00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:59.519
<v Speaker 4>were just over in Paris in London and they were like, well,

765
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.360
<v Speaker 4>if you want tip, you know, like a pound or

766
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:02.559
<v Speaker 4>two in London is good.

767
00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:05.719
<v Speaker 5>We're like, on how much of a bill you know,

768
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:06.880
<v Speaker 5>like you really don't know.

769
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:09.800
<v Speaker 4>It's very It's turned into a very ambiguous thing, even

770
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:15.559
<v Speaker 4>though tipping isn't necessarily expected, whereas here it's absolutely expected.

771
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:17.480
<v Speaker 5>And I think that the tipping rate is getting a

772
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:18.239
<v Speaker 5>little out of control.

773
00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:20.239
<v Speaker 14>Well I was I was ordering a pizza the other

774
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:22.159
<v Speaker 14>night and I ordered it and I was gonna go

775
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:24.360
<v Speaker 14>pick it up, no delivery or anything, and there was

776
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:26.840
<v Speaker 14>a suggested twenty or twenty five percent tip, and I'm like,

777
00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:29.119
<v Speaker 14>this is this was not what it used to be.

778
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:32.199
<v Speaker 14>Like Like when I'm more than okay to tip my

779
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:34.360
<v Speaker 14>server twenty twenty five percent, when I'm going on to

780
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:36.920
<v Speaker 14>eat and they're waiting with you to get service right,

781
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.119
<v Speaker 14>but then when you order it the counter and then

782
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:41.199
<v Speaker 14>you come pick up your stuff, or you order something

783
00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:43.119
<v Speaker 14>and you go pick it up yourself. The fact that

784
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:45.360
<v Speaker 14>there are these really high suggested tips, this is just

785
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:48.559
<v Speaker 14>this just blurs the lines even more. And I think

786
00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:51.239
<v Speaker 14>you as a consumer, as an individual, need to have

787
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:53.199
<v Speaker 14>an idea of what you're willing to tip and what

788
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:54.960
<v Speaker 14>you're willing to tip. For If I go out and

789
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:56.559
<v Speaker 14>get a coffee and they handcraft it for me, I'm

790
00:38:56.599 --> 00:38:58.360
<v Speaker 14>willing to tip a buck or a beer saying like that.

791
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:00.639
<v Speaker 14>But you just have to kind of know ahead of time, Hey,

792
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:02.199
<v Speaker 14>how much am I going to tip on this pizza

793
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:04.920
<v Speaker 14>where I'm paying a lot for the pizza and then

794
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:07.960
<v Speaker 14>I'm not necessarily tipping somewhere they're not serving me.

795
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:09.400
<v Speaker 3>So do I tip?

796
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:09.760
<v Speaker 14>How much?

797
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:10.199
<v Speaker 3>Do I tip?

798
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:12.199
<v Speaker 14>And I think you have to have an idea ahead

799
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:13.599
<v Speaker 14>of time what you're willing to tip so you don't

800
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:16.360
<v Speaker 14>feel guilted into tipping more than you expected in the moment.

801
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:18.800
<v Speaker 5>And that's the thing that really ticks me off about it.

802
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:21.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how you feel about it, but that

803
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:24.280
<v Speaker 4>they show you the screen, and they know that it's

804
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:26.880
<v Speaker 4>a tipping screen. And if you go to custom and

805
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:29.840
<v Speaker 4>do a zero and even some of them go and

806
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:31.800
<v Speaker 4>here's the place to leave a tip. I'm like, how

807
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:35.159
<v Speaker 4>dare you say that to me? I mean, it's just infuriating.

808
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.440
<v Speaker 4>It's the world doesn't do anything for me at all,

809
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:41.480
<v Speaker 4>except like, well, like a Dodger statum, and I love

810
00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:43.880
<v Speaker 4>Dodger statium. But when they open a beer can for

811
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:45.320
<v Speaker 4>me and then they say, here, do you want to

812
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 4>do an eighteen percent tip?

813
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:49.400
<v Speaker 14>I'm like, no, right on the on the fourteen dollars beer,

814
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:51.039
<v Speaker 14>now eighteen dollar beer?

815
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh hateen?

816
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:55.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, sorry, I underestimated, don't get me started. Joel Lard's Guard.

<v Speaker 4>we were talking about bringing meat up to room temperature.

00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:34.280
<v Speaker 4>under the collar. And that's how I am on tipping.

831
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:38.519
<v Speaker 4>I'm so over tipping. And I don't mind tipping for

832
