So you guys know, I think we mentioned 20 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.840 Amy is in Paris. Have you guys seen they're having 21 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.439 massive hail storms in Paris golf ball sized hail. It's 22 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.640 been like deadly storm. So I hope she's okay. I 23 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.159 hope that she's still enjoying herself and walking around with 24 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.680 her croissant and having a good time where we're thinking 25 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.439 about you, Amy and we can't wait till you come back. 26 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.879 All right, let's get started before before I get too 27 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.040 off track, Let's get to some of the stories without 28 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.640 working on Here's what's ahead. On wake Up Call, we 29 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:39.760 have an update on the shooting at Spartan College. It 30 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.560 happened last Friday. Officials say doctor Kemisha Clark was a 31 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.560 dean at the school when she was shot and killed 32 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.680 in her office. A receptionist was also hurt. The suspected shooter, 33 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.200 Jesse Figueroa, was a recently hired campus security guard. He 34 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:57.480 was arrested in charge with murder and other felonies. Five 35 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.159 people are under arrest after a deadly smuggling attempt off 36 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.519 San Diego's coast. A capsized boat left three confirmed dead, 37 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.039 including two children from India. Two men face smuggling charges. 38 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.199 There will not be a triple crown winner this year. 39 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:15.840 Kentucky Derby Champs Sovereignty is skipping the Preakness. Some experts 40 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.599 say the race should be pushed back to give horses 41 00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.599 more recovery time. Head on wake up call. At five five, 42 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.120 diplomatic sparks flew at the White House this week when 43 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.840 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney firmly told President Trump that 44 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.879 Canada is not for sale. We're going to dive into 45 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.680 the implications there. And if five twenty, big changes are 46 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.039 shaking up the tech world. Amazon is pushing back on Apple, 47 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.199 Samsung is reinventing how we pay each other in Google's 48 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.039 new Pixel may just be the best phone deal of 49 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.000 the year. We're going to talk to Rich on tech. 50 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.039 And at five point thirty five, the new Marvel movie 51 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.159 Thunderbolts already has a new title. We're going to tell 52 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.159 you what it is and why some say this is 53 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.800 the best Marvel movie in a long time. And if 54 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.520 I point fifty, imagine waking up in a home designed 55 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.560 by Disney Imagineers, the crystal clear lagoon just steps away. Well, 56 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.199 we're going to tell you all about Cotino and how 57 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.840 you could enjoy some magic with modern living. Then a 58 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.199 six oh five, it's handled on the news. Four former 59 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.000 employees of Smokey Robinson and his wife have accused him 60 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.000 of sexual assault on multiple occasions. We'll talk about the 61 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.039 case and what this means for the eighty five year 62 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.639 old singer. Let's get started with some of the stories 63 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.120 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Five 64 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.599 people have been arrested in connection with a deadly smuggling 65 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.639 attempt off the coast of San Diego. The US Attorney's 66 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.840 Office says three migrants died and a fourth is presumed 67 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.960 dead after a pangaboat capsized near Del Mar. A ten 68 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.719 year old girl and a fourteen year old boy from 69 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.719 India were among the victims. Their parents are in the hospital. 70 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.520 Two Mexican nationals have been charged with human smuggling and 71 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.680 three others have been arrested for driving eight migrants from 72 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.840 the scene. A fight over elephants at the La Zoo 73 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.120 made his way to the City council budget committee. 74 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.599 Keeltelman Bob Bloomenfield says, the La Zoo you can't just 75 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.639 ship its last two old elephants off to Tulsa without 76 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.439 authorization from him and his colleagues. 77 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.039 This is a decision that the council must be part of. 78 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.120 Zoo Director Denise Verrett was before the Council's Budget Committee 79 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.360 part of the budget process when the fight over Billy 80 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.319 and Tina came up. Bloomfield says it might be cheaper 81 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.920 to put them in a different sanctuary. Arrett says she 82 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.360 would not promise she would not send the elephants to 83 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.759 Oklahoma before Council has an opportunity to act. Michael Monks 84 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:27.720 KFI News. 85 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.160 Joining me now is ABC's Karen Travers. Good Morning, Karen, 86 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.480 Good morning. All right, let's start with the obvious here. 87 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.879 What's prompting President Trump to again suggest Canada should become 88 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.879 the fifty first state? And how serious is he really 89 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:41.399 about this? 90 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.040 I mean, he's just interested in this, and you know, 91 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.480 it's sort of a thing where when the President gets 92 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.160 an idea in his head, he's just not letting it go. Before, 93 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.360 it was like a trolling thing about Prime Minister Justin 94 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.560 Trudeau because they had a tense relationship. He liked to 95 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.480 call him Governor Trudeau, and there was a sense that 96 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.480 there might be a chance of a reset of the 97 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.680 US Canada relationship, or at least his relationship with the 98 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.480 leader of Canada. With the election of Prime Minister Mark Kearney. 99 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.040 He came to the White House yesterday. We had talked 100 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:14.639 to White House officials and said, you know, is he 101 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.519 going to bring up the fifty first state thing? And 102 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.439 they said probably because he's just this is something he 103 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.399 is interested in. How serious is he? You get a 104 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.920 little bit of a shrug reaction from people, But it 105 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:29.120 came up yesterday. Mark Carney said very firmly that you know, 106 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.639 there are places in real estates that are not for sale. 107 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.240 He was trying to appeal to the President's development mentality. 108 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.199 He said, Buckingham Palace, the place we're sitting in right now, 109 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.879 referred to the Oval Office, not for sale. And he 110 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.120 said over the months that he traveled as a candidate 111 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.040 in Canada, he heard from the owners of Canada that 112 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.560 Canada is also not for sale and won't be ever well. 113 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.040 The President's response to that numerous times was never say never, 114 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.600 never say never, smiling kind of joking issues. They had 115 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.399 these moments back and forth, but it was very clear 116 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.040 neither side is going to give this one up. Mark 117 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.920 Kearney is not budging. Of course, Canada is not budging. 118 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.480 And the President kind of kept needling him on this 119 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:09.720 over the course of their meeting. 120 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.600 All right, So the President is also refusing to lift 121 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.600 these tariffs of up to twenty five percent on Canadian goods. 122 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.839 So how are those tariffs affecting Canada's economy at this point? 123 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.720 Yeah, and that's the more significant issue in terms of 124 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.680 actual substance. There is a twenty five percent tariff on 125 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.839 many Canadian goods, the ten percent tariff on Canadian oil imports, 126 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.160 the twenty five percent tariff on cars autoparts stealing aluminum. 127 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.199 It is, you know, impacting Canadian the Canadian economy. Down's 128 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:39.639 not going to have an impact here. I mean, we're 129 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.959 hearing this from automakers about their concerns about what this 130 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.759 is going to do. We're hearing about this in border 131 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.319 towns along the US Canada border on the US side 132 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.240 of it, about how this is impacting them. So there 133 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:55.319 were questions yesterday about what Carnee could say or do 134 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.959 to get the President to lift the tariffs. He said nothing, 135 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.120 not a thing. This is just the way it is 136 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.759 right now, but indicated that maybe broadly speaking, they could 137 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.879 have conversations about trade and tariffs as they renegotiate the 138 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.560 US Mexico Canada Free Trade Agreement over the next year 139 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.360 and a half. It's due for a renegotiation in twenty 140 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.319 twenty six. It's an important piece of this. There is 141 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.319 a free trade agreement that he as president in his 142 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.800 first term, negotiated, signed with great fanfare. But these tariffs 143 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.240 he's put in place now have thrown that trade agreement 144 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:28.959 into disarray. 145 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:33.120 Now all of the political theater aside. You know, whether 146 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.439 Trump's intentions are true to make this fifty first state 147 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.839 or not. What is really at stake here for both 148 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.720 countries if these tensions continue to escalate, especially with so 149 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.000 much trade and security cooperation a place. 150 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.079 Yeah, yeah, that's a big question that I think is 151 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.439 not known yet as it plays out. Canada is one 152 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.199 of our top trading partners obviously, and also a big 153 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.000 partner on security. 154 00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:58.879 Issues as well. 155 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.680 And that was the question came up yesterday and both 156 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.759 leaders were pledging cooperation. The president was asked what concessions 157 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.639 he wants to see from Canada, and he said, friendship. 158 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:11.040 He just wants to see friendship and good cooperation. 159 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.360 Oh, he just wants to be friends. That sounds so nice. 160 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:18.079 Friend as he puts massive terariffs on our neighbors to. 161 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:24.000 The north exactly, that's what all good friendships start with asolutely. Well, 162 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.160 we'll be interested to see how this continues to play out. 163 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.160 Thank you so much, Karen, have a great rest of your. 164 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:29.279 Day, you too. 165 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:29.759 Thank you. 166 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:31.600 All right, let's get back to some of the stories 167 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.000 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Amazon's 168 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:40.679 Zookes that's zox is issuing a software recall for two 169 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.960 hundred and seventy of its robotaxis after a crash in 170 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.600 Las Vegas last month. According to the National Highway Traffic 171 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:52.240 Safety Administration report, the recall surrounds a defect with a 172 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.679 defect with the vehicle's automated driving system that could cause 173 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.919 it to inaccurately predict the movement of another car and 174 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.600 increase the quote risk of a crash. Recall follows an 175 00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:06.320 incident where an occupied to Zouke's robotaxi collided with a 176 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.480 passenger vehicle. A new survey shows many people are having 177 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:11.879 fewer kids these days. 178 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.360 A lot of pearents in the US are rethinking the 179 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.200 number of children they can afford due to rising costs 180 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.960 associated with raising children. According to a recent lending Tree survey, 181 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.320 seventy seven percent of respondents said raising children has been 182 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.840 more expensive than they expected, and forty six percent of 183 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.679 parents with young kids said they have fewer due to 184 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.759 financial constraints. Lending tre says the cost of raising a 185 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.919 child is nearly three hundred thousand dollars.

Deborah mark Koffive News. 188 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:47.480 Four former housekeepers are suing motown singer Smokey Robinson for 189 00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:51.039 at least fifty million dollars. Attorney John Harris says the 190 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:55.240 women were subjected to rape and sexual assault at Robin's 191 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:59.559 home in Robinson's home in Chatsworth, Las Vegas, and Bell Canyon. 192 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.000 These courageous for women have collectively decided to come forward 193 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:08.039 and share their experiences of being sexually assaulted by mister 194 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.440 Smokey Robinson and stand up for their rights as well 195 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:12.759 as the rights of other women. 196 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.360 The lawsuit alleges that Robinson forced himself on the women 197 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.399 multiple times, generally while his wife, Francis, was out of 198 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.600 the home. Robinson's wife is also named in the lawsuit 199 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.720 for allegedly contributing to a hostile work environment. San Diego 200 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.480 Senator Brian Jones says gas could jump above eight dollars 201 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.200 a gallon in California if the state doesn't change its 202 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:35.440 refinery policies. 203 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.279 There are two refineries that have announced their closing. Phillip 204 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.200 sixty six is going to close by the end of 205 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.759 this year, and Valero has said they're going to close 206 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.120 theirs by April of next year. Those two refineries, just 207 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.919 those two alone make up twenty percent of California's refinery capacity. 208 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.879 The Senator calling on the governor in state lawmakers to 209 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.000 change the refining policies in California ahead of the announced closures, 210 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.679 which cover twenty percent of the capacity in the state. 211 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.039 The Supreme Court has ruled President Trump's ban on transgender 212 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.360 members of the military can take effect for now. ABC 213 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:12.120 Stephen Portnoy says the decision yesterday sets aside a lower 214 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.919 court decision that blocked the ban from taking effect. 215 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.679 It means the military can begin discharging transgender service members 216 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.559 while the case plays out. The Trump administration argues that 217 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.000 his owned substantial deference when it comes to how it 218 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:24.960 runs the military. 219 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.919 The court's three liberal justices say they would have left 220 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.759 the order in place.

ABC's Alex Stone says 223 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.679 forty eight year old Jimmy Wayne was arrested on Monday. 224 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.840 Law enforcement sources to ABC News they believe his act 225 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.240 was intentional, but why is not clear. 226 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:52.960 It's not evident he was targeting Anniston, but Wayne did 227 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.840 post about Aniston on social media, saying he loves her 228 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.000 and that unnamed forces were keeping them apart, especiallyzed LAPD 229 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.559 Unit is investigating. Wayne is currently being held for felony vandalism. 230 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.720 Starting today, travelers must present a real ID or another 231 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.240 tsa approved form of ID to board domestic flights and 232 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.799 access certain federal facilities. Real IDs are marked with a 233 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.639 star and require proof of identity, social Security number, and residency. 234 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.879 Without one, passengers may face delays and additional screenings at airports. 235 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:27.720 A man has been sent to fifteen years to life 236 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:31.399 for helping murder celebrity hairdresser Fabio sem and Tilly, a 237 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.879 plot to prosecutor say was masterminded by the victim's wife, 238 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.519 Christopher Austen, testifying against her, and a second accomplice, both 239 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.720 now facing life sentences. A Chicago homeowner says he moved 240 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:47.440 in with alleged squatters after discovering them living in his property. 241 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.799 The police couldn't remove the couple citing civil law, so 242 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:55.919 marco Velaskeez decided to stay overnight himself. Eventually negotiated with 243 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.639 a couple and pay them forty three hundred bucks to leave. 244 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.159 Pretty smart. Might as well just get out of the 245 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.440 money and say get out of here. At six so 246 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:06.320 five and handle on the news, America's top brass is 247 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:08.639 meeting with leaders in China to talk trade. We're going 248 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.279 to tell you why they're meeting in Switzerland and why 249 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.519 some are calling this an icebreaker meeting. But first we're 250 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.559 going to talk about AI power, shortcuts in Windows, to 251 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.840 tap to pay tricks on your Samsung. We're going to 252 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.360 break down the latest gadgets and updates that can make 253 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.240 your life easier, maybe even save you some money. Joining 254 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.360 us to explain what's worth your time and what is 255 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.559 just high Biscayfvice tech guy rich Toimuro from rich on Tech, 256 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:33.399 Good morning. 257 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.480 Hey, good morning to you, Heather. Thanks for that great intro. 258 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.120 Oh you're welcome. It's so nice to talk with you. 259 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.480 This is one of my favorite segments. Yeah, let's talk 260 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:45.879 about Windows. They just got a lot smarter with AI. 261 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.799 So how exactly does this new feature work and could 262 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.120 it change how we interact with our devices? 263 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:54.320 Yeah, I think it's actually quite interesting. Windows has been 264 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.519 going through a major evolution. Obviously, Microsoft one of the 265 00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:01.000 biggest investors in open AI, so they've been building a 266 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:06.480 lot of the AI features into Windows software through Copilot, 267 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.080 which is, you know, their sort of version of Chatchy 268 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.159 BT and so you know, things have been changing. But 269 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:13.919 one of the things that they're adding, which I thought 270 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.600 was really cool, is this idea of AI to change 271 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.399 the settings on your computer. How many times have you 272 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.159 looked at your mouse and you're like, I wish that 273 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.840 mouse cursor was bigger, or I wish that my screen 274 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.480 would turn off after four minutes and not one minute, 275 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.360 or I want my screen, you know, my keyboard, you know, 276 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.080 I want a different a German keyboard. 277 00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:32.399 Whatever. 278 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.519 Now you can literally just go into the settings and 279 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.679 ask for what you want to change. The AI will 280 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.799 figure out what you're trying to say and it will 281 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.159 do it for you. That's a big shift in how 282 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:45.440 we work with our computers. 283 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:49.679 Ooh, that sounds fun. I mean definitely the mouse size. Sometimes, 284 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.240 especially here when we're kind of following our stories, it's 285 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.200 like where where's my cursor? Where to to go? Plus 286 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.919 I'm getting old, so it's hard for me to see things, 287 00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:59.440 so that would. 288 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:03.360 Be also I find I find sometimes, you know, making 289 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.720 the zoom a little bit better is a little bit 290 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.600 bigger is better. But the other thing is that you know, 291 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:10.360 you may find settings that you didn't even know you 292 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:12.960 could do, Like maybe you just didn't even Hey, where's 293 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:13.879 my emoji keyboard? 294 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:14.960 You know, and it brings that up. 295 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.639 So it's like, it's just the idea of like, to me, 296 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:22.440 AI is really opening up this idea of natural language computing, 297 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.320 Like we just ask what we want to do, and 298 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.600 it helps us do that. And I think we're going 299 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:29.519 to see that with all of our devices over time. 300 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.720 I love that. All right. So Amazon is finally letting 301 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:37.240 users make in app purchases on iPhones, and to be honest, 302 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.120 I thought we could already do that. What is what 303 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.039 am I missing here? I thought, when I go on 304 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.120 my Amazon, I can make app purchases. 305 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.120 Okay, Well, this is a this is a big shift 306 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:48.399 in the way that Apple does business. Because we had 307 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.879 a court say, hey, you have to let consumers and developers, 308 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:57.559 you know, lead consumers to third party payment methods on 309 00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.720 the iPhone. So right now, on the iPhone, basically, if 310 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.759 you make any sort of purchase, you know, and I'm 311 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.919 not talking the Amazon app where you're making like a 312 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:05.919 purchase of something that you're shipping to your house. I'm 313 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:10.519 talking the Kindle app. Specifically, you couldn't buy an ebook 314 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:14.360 from the Kindle app for many years because Amazon would 315 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.279 have to give a thirty percent cut to Apple for 316 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.080 all those ebooks, and of course they're not going to 317 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:20.519 do that because that's just a lot of money they're 318 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:23.360 going to waste. And so now with this court ruling 319 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:26.600 that says you have to offer alternative payment links and 320 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:29.759 iOS apps, all these major developers have been updating their 321 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.159 apps to be easier where you can subscribe. Now in 322 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.080 the app, you can get alternative payment solutions. You can 323 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.200 be led to a website that lets you pay outside 324 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.120 the app. And so Amazon has updated their app immediately 325 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.200 and now you can actually purchase an ebook through that app. 326 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.000 It's not going to it's kind of weird to that 327 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:50.600 leads you to the Amazon website still, so it's not 328 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:53.320 a perfect system. But at the same time, this has 329 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.639 been a major shift in the way developers can offer 330 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.240 consumers better and different payment methods on the I Phone 331 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.319 outside of the app store, and we're seeing Spotify update 332 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.400 their app, We're seeing Patreon update their app. Pretty much 333 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.559 every major app maker is getting on board because it 334 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:12.200 saves them about thirty percent off the top. 335 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.680 Okay, well, that's going to be really handy. That's going 336 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.799 to be really helpful. Okay, let's talk about Samsung. Their 337 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.160 new tap to transfer payment features sounds a little too easy, 338 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.319 but is this sort of the future of peer to 339 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:24.119 peer payments. 340 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:28.160 I just thought this was super cool because you know 341 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.519 the idea that you you know right now when you 342 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:32.680 like the other day I had to pay someone. I 343 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:34.039 was like, do you have Venmo? And he's like sure, 344 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:36.079 He's like, I'd rather use Zel. I'm like, okay, well 345 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:37.920 I don't really want to use Zel. Can we use Venmo? 346 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:39.640 And then he has to transfer the money to his 347 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:41.720 bank account. So it was like this whole thing. Whenever 348 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:43.759 it comes to paying someone, you have to figure out, 349 00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:47.160 like which payment app do they use? Right, Well, Samsung 350 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:51.240 is now letting you literally tap someone's debit card right 351 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:54.160 to your phone, so you can just tap their card 352 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.839 to your phone and transfer the money. So if you're like, hey, 353 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.839 you know you owe me thirty bucks for dinner, I don't. Yeah, 354 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.160 just literally tap your debit card to my phone and 355 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.160 the thirty dollars will transfer to me. So I thought 356 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:06.920 that was pretty cool. 357 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.680 It's like to pay the store. When we check out, 358 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:10.960 we do the tap to check. 359 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.480 Out exactly, except imagine your phone is now like the 360 00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.240 cash registered checkout thing. So I just thought it was 361 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:20.319 kind of thing, a neat thing. Now Apple has introduced 362 00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:23.440 a similar feature. I'm not sure that many people use it, 363 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.279 but it requires it's not just your regular card that 364 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:28.680 give to tap your two iPhones together and you can 365 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.880 exchange cash. I have not used that feature, so I'm 366 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:32.799 not exactly sure how it works, but I know they 367 00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:35.480 did advertise something at one of their events about that. 368 00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:37.880 I'm not sure how widely that's used. But this is 369 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:39.680 kind of cool because it's just your debit card. You're like, hey, 370 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:40.519 tap your card. 371 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:43.119 Tap your card. That's so cool. Okay, really quickly, before 372 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.160 we let you go. You just reviewed the Pixel nine 373 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.400 A for KTLA. What makes this phone a standout? 374 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:52.279 I mean really the price four hundred and ninety nine dollars. 375 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:54.720 It's got everything you need. It's got a great design, 376 00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:58.200 it's got great AI, it's got an excellent camera, seven 377 00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:02.359 years of software support, so there's really nothing inside this phone. 378 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.519 Like if you just want a value phone, this is 379 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:06.799 going to be a fantastic device for the next five 380 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:10.039 to seven years. And the only downside I found is 381 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:13.680 that a lot of the premium phones now have satellite connectivity. 382 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:15.119 So if you're in the middle of nowhere and you 383 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:17.039 need to dial nine one one, you can do that 384 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:20.039 over satellite, or at least call for help over satellite. 385 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:22.799 This phone does not have that feature, which is one 386 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:25.720 sort of downside. But otherwise, if you can live with that, 387 00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:28.200 this is a great device for five hundred bucks. 388 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:29.920 I just don't know if I'm ever ready to give 389 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.000 up my iPhone. I know that's terrible, but I. 390 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.839 Know that one say, I know this is Android. So 391 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:37.480 but the iPhone has the iPhone sixteen E, which is 392 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:39.400 six hundred dollars, and it's also a great value. 393 00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:41.519 All right, good to know, all right, everybody, listen to 394 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.240 Rich on Tech every Saturday from eleven to two on KFI. 395 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.440 You can see him every day on KTLA and follow 396 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:49.680 him on Instagram at rich on Tech, and of course 397 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.160 go to his website rich on Tech dot tv.
