Speaker 1: Also, I was watching I was watching Katla yesterday and

Speaker 1: they were talking about all the rain that we've had

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 1: and they were talking that there may be a super

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: bloom again this year because we had a bunch of

20
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: rain and then we didn't have any and now we've

21
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: had some more and that may have made conditions ripe

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: for a super bloom head. You've seen one of them.

23
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: They are spectacular. Okay, we got a lot to get to,

24
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: so let's get to it. Here's what's ahead on wake

25
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: Up Call? Oh did I say good morning? Did I

26
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: say I'm Amy King? Did I say We're love? Everywhere?

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: On the iHeartRadio app? Okay, all the boxes are now checked.

28
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: Let's go. Our nation is back, bigger, better, and stronger

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: than ever before. That was the opening line of President

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,639
Speaker 1: Trump's State of the Union address and the opening salvo

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: of a nearly two hour speech. US White House correspondent

32
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: John Decker was in the room, and it's going to

33
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: give us his thoughts and reactions from last night's record

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: long address. Former LA Fire Chief Kristin Crowley has sued

35
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: the city over being fired by Mayor Bass as chief

36
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: in the aftermath of the Palisades fire. Crowley accuses Bass

37
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: of orchestrating a campaign of retaliation and trying to make

38
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: her the scapegoat for how the deadly fires were handled.

39
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: Jackie is back on the nest. The bald eagle has

40
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: laid an egg in the nest high above Big Bear Lake.

41
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Jackie in shadow had two eggs in January, but they

42
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: were attacked and taken by ravens. Jackie could still lay

43
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: more eggs, but for now we have one and the

44
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: countdown for a thirty to thirty five day incubation begins.

45
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: As we've mentioned several times, our dear Sandy Steers died

46
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: before this latest egg arrived, but I'm guessing she'd be

47
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: very happy to see this latest development now. Before Sandy

48
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: passed away, she was working to preserve of Jackie in

49
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Shadows Habitat by trying to stop a development that she

50
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: says came way too close to the nest of our

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: favorite bald eagles. So we're gonna let you know what

52
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: it is and how you can help Sandy's dreams come true.

53
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: We'll be talking with Jenny Vossard with friends of Big

54
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: Bear Valley before the top of the hour. The host

55
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: of Rich on Tech on KFI, Rich Demiro, is going

56
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: to join us at five twenty. Is someone checking you

57
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: out on their smart glasses? There's a way you can tell. Also,

58
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: new Samsung devices are about to drop, and there's a

59
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: new app that can tell you if there's going to

60
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: be a beautiful sunset. Kind of cool right, Amy's on it.

61
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: That's coming up at the bottom of the hour. Finally,

62
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: an Academy Award nominated movie that I really like. Sing

63
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: it out with Me I've got you stumped, don't I

64
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: will have no idea. Let's get s hate in the

65
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: Oscar nominees for it, I know, but I found one

66
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: that I really really like. I'll tell you about it.

67
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of the stories coming out

68
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. President Trump has

69
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: given the longest State of the Union addresses in modern history.

70
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: In his one hour, forty seven minute speech, he declared

71
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: the economy is stronger than many believe ahead of November's

72
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: midterm election. Members of Congress, the state of our Union

73
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: is strong, he says, Prices across the board are coming down.

74
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: The Democratic response was given by Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger,

75
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: who said Trump gave no real solutions to the country's

76
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: challenges in his speech. The President did what he always does.

77
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: He lied, he scapegoaded, and he distracted. She says Trump

78
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: is actively making things worse in general by not offering solutions.

79
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: Three of the skiers caught in last week's deadly avalanche

80
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: near Lake Tahoe saved the lives of three others who survived.

81
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: The new report from the Sierra Avalanche Center says the

82
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: three who were not buried were able to dig out

83
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: the three others. Nine people died in the avalanche. Families

84
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: of the six mothers who were among those killed said

85
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: the skiers were experience and well equipped with avalanche safety. Here,

86
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: six people have been struck by an suv that veered

87
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: off the roadway and onto a sidewalk, then slammed into

88
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: a tree in downtown La. The victims were standing on

89
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: a sidewalk in front of Martha's Flowers at eighth and

90
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: San Julian Streets near the Fashion District when they were

91
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: struck shortly before noon. Two of are said to be

92
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: in serious condition. The La City Councils decided to make

93
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: a pilot program permanent.

94
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 5: The Unarmed Crisis Response Program diverts emergency calls related to

95
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 5: mental health crises away from the LAPD to specialized clinicians.

96
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 5: In a vote yesterday, the council approved a motion introduced

97
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 5: by members Unices Hernandez and Bob Bloomenfield in January directing

98
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 5: city staff to establish a centralized dispatch system that aims

99
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 5: to improve response to emergency calls by sending out appropriate teams.

100
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 5: Deborah mark Koffi News.

101
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now at five seven to two.

102
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: Kfi's White House correspondent John Decker. John has been in

103
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: the room for thirty consecutive years for these State of

104
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: the Union addresses, So a lot of people saw an

105
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: incredibly long speech last night.

106
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 6: What's your takeaway, right, Well, my takeaway I always have

107
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 6: one moment that sticks with me for a State of

108
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 6: Union address, being in there for thirty years, and.

109
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 4: Last night's moment was a moment that had nothing at

110
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 4: all to do with politics. It was when the President

111
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 4: welcomed into the House chamber those members of the men's

112
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 4: hockey team that just won the gold medal. That was

113
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 4: a special moment. That was a unifying moment, you know,

114
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 4: where you had Republicans and Democrats both standing and applauding

115
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: this incredible success of those men during the Olympics and

116
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 4: their athletic heroism. And to me, that was a special moment.

117
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: And then in terms of politics, it was just an

118
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: interesting moment when the President walked down the aisle the

119
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 4: very beginning of the speech and greeted the members of

120
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: the US Supreme Court who showed up to attend this

121
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 4: particular State of Union address, And I could sense the

122
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 4: coolness when the President shook hands with both Chief Justice

123
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 4: John Roberts as well as Associate Justice Amy Cony Barrett.

124
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: And of course that cool greeting was because they voted

125
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: against his tariffs, basically struck down the tariff saying that

126
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: they were illegal.

127
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: That's exactly right, Amy. Three of the four justices that

128
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,119
Speaker 4: showed up to attend last night's Date of the Union

129
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: address voted against the President on his tariffs policy, and

130
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: the one justice who was there who voted to affirm it,

131
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: he ended up writing a dissent because he was in

132
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 4: the minority, was Brett Kavanaugh, and the President had a

133
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: warm greeting for him. So that was a very interesting moment.

134
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 4: And of course, you know, these types of State of

135
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: the Uni addresses these days have become so divisive for

136
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 4: the most part. You know, we saw two Democratic House

137
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: members essentially going back and forth with the President, heckling

138
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: him essentially during the course of the speech. That's Representative

139
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: to Leave from Michigan and Representative elin Omar from Minnesota.

140
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: And that one that came out when Trump was talking

141
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: about the fraud, the Somali fraud in Minnesota.

142
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it came out actually at different points. You know

143
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 4: that heckling that I'm referencing continued throughout the President's speech,

144
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 4: you know, and it was interesting to me that the

145
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: House Speaker didn't have them escorted out of the House

146
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 4: Chamber in the same way that Congressman Al Green of

147
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: Texas was escorted out of the House Chamber within the

148
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 4: first two minutes of the President's speech. That's because he

149
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: brought a sign onto the House floor. Signs are prohibited

150
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 4: under House rules from being brought onto the floor of

151
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: the House Chamber.

152
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: Okay, And those are the ones who showed up. There

153
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: were about I don't know seventy Democrats who didn't go.

154
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: Was was that glaring or did they just did it

155
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: not really get noticed because the crowd was big.

156
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: I have to tell you, you can't notice it because

157
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: there are so many members. There's four hundred and thirty

158
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 4: five members of the House of Representatives, one hundred members

159
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 4: of the Senate, and you know they actually have to,

160
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: you know, you know, work hard to put all those

161
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: people in. It's the House chamber. But you're putting two

162
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: bodies in one chamber, so you didn't really notice it

163
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: all that much. And you saw that as far as

164
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 4: the galleries are concerned. That's where I sit. I sit

165
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: in what's called the Radio TV gallery, about twenty feet

166
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 4: to the right of where the First Lady sits. The

167
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: galleries were packed last night, as.

168
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: Always, as always, and you've got plenty more people to

169
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: talk to this morning, so we're going to let you go.

170
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: Kfi's White House correspondent John Decker, thanks so much, love

171
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: to have you in the room.

172
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 4: Thanks a lot. Amy always appreciate it. I have a

173
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 4: great day, Bye bye, right you too.

174
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: I thought, overall, really like just watching it. I didn't

175
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: feel like the speech lasted a minute or an hour

176
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: and forty seven minutes. I don't know how you felt

177
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: about it, but I think that it was. It was

178
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: mostly inspirational. And you know, they have the special guests

179
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 1: that they bring out, and both sides do it. I

180
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: think Trump knows how to do it well. I know.

181
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: I think he knows how to put on a show.

182
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: Whether you agree with him or not, I think he

183
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: put on a good show last night. Let's get back

184
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,480

Speaker 1: through the middle of the day into the afternoon. Authorities

209
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,120

Speaker 1: seen on video at Nancy Guthrie's front door appeared to

211
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: visit our house a day before she was kidnapped. ABC's

212
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Katirski says it could be the individual they think

00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: took her on February first.

214
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,559

215
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 7: this month, but there's a different image of him without

216
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 7: the backpack.

217
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: I thirty say it suggests it is possible the kidnapping

218
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: was planned in advance, or that maybe the individual had

219
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: cased the house. House Democrats are accusing the Department of

220
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,079

225
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,400

226
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,319

229
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: Spirit Airlines is planning to cut its fleet and some

230
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: of its flights to emerge from bankruptcy as early as

231
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,440

232
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: court yesterday focuses on high demand travel periods and roots,

233
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: as well as expanding premium class seats to survive. Spirit

234
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: has reached an agreement in principle with its creditors for

235
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: the plan. Spirits already reduced some of its airbus fleet

236
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: and furloughed pilots and flight attendants to cut costs. The

237
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: Louver has a new leader after the former director resigned.

238
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: He stepped down yesterday, months after Crown jewels were stolen

239
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: from the museum in Paris. The new director is art

240
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: historian Christophe Lerebau, a veteran museum director. In the last

241
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: year alone, the museum has had that high profile robbery

242
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: from the Apollo Gallery, water leaks near the Mona Lisa

243
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: that damaged priceless books, and staff walkouts over poor working conditions.

244
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: There's also a suspected ticket fraud operation link to the

245
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: museum that investigators say may have cost the loof million dollars.

246
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: Because Australian ban in Excess is among seventeen nominees for

253
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: Phil Collins, Shakira New Edition and Luther Vandross. Okay, you

254
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: know why that was a very Australian heavy story. Why

255
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: because our editor Brian is Australian. Oh yeah, I see

256
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: how it goes. I love in Excess, I might Okay,

257
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: fun fact, we get these from producer Michelle and I

258
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: just love this one that I saw yesterday. In the

259
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties, the CIA launched Operation Acoustic Kitty. It was

260
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: with an effort to train cats to become spies.

261
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: Are you kidding?

262
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: I can't even train my cat to do potty in

263
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: the right place exactly by implanting microphones in their ears

264
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: and radio transmitters at the base of their skulls. The

265
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: hope was to train the cats to sit near foreign

266
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: officials so they could capture private conversations. Well, the operation

267
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: came to a halt quickly when they realized that cats

268
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: really aren't trainable and just do whatever the heck they want.

269
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: I love. Americans in Mexico are no longer being urged

270
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: to shelter in place. A warning was issued following the

271
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: death of the cartel leader known as Elmentcho that sparked violence.

272
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: The US Department of State said public transportation and businesses

273
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: are continuing to return to normal in Mexico. The Department

274
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: added that flight schedules returned to normal in Guadalajara and

275
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: extra flights are being planned for Porta Varta. The La

276
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: City Council's approved a four hundred and seventy three thousand,

277
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars annual salary for Fire chief him It's

278
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: about eighteen thousand dollars more than former chief Kristen Crowley made,

279
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: who mayorbet fired in the wake of the Palisades fire

280
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: and is now suing the city of La a convicted

Speaker 1: in jail and twelve months probation four posting video of

283
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: himself pouring alcohol into a hawk's mouth. Twenty five year

284
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: old Caesar Das allegedly released the hawk before wildlife officials

285
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: could intervene. The hawks condition is not known. Let's say

286
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: good morning now to the host of Rich on Tech

287
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro. Rich, we

288
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: got so much to talk about today. Let's start with

289
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: Samsung's releasing new products today.

290
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,239
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm here in San Francisco for what they call Unpacked,

291
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: and this is where the company is going to unveil

292
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: its new Galaxy S twenty six lineup. That's typically three phones,

293
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: including the top of the line Ultra. And the biggest

294
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: feature that they've been promoting so far is this privacy screen,

295
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: which basically somehow shields your information from prying eye.

296
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: So it's going to be.

297
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 2: Very interesting to see how that's received, how that works.

298
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: So that's the big thing we're looking at. Otherwise, obviously

299
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: they're pushing AI. Obviously the cameras should be better. We'll

300
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 2: see what happens with some of the other features on

301
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: the phone, but we're here in San Francisco for that.

302
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: That'll happen at ten am this morning.

303
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: Okay. And as far as better cameras, Samsung already has

304
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: like just superior cameras. How much better can they get

305
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: this point, well.

306
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

307
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: I think the big trend we're seeing here is a

308
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 2: lot of the hardware is sort of staying the same

309
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: with these makers, but they just keep upping the ante

310
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: with software features and AI.

311
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: And we know that Apple is kind of lagging in

312
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 3: that area.

313
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: But I will say I use an iPhone in an

314
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: Android and you know, photos.

315
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: Are good across the board.

316
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: I think video is still slightly better on iPhone, So

317
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: we'll see if Samsung can improve that this year.

318
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: Okay. So one of the things that are I've seen

319
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: more and more people have are those smart glasses. They

320
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: look like ray bands, but they got all kinds of

321
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: stuff in them, and there's you know, I mean, like

322
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: somebody could be spying on you wearing them and you

323
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: don't even know. They could be filming you and you

324
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: wouldn't even know.

325
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: Yes, And I wear them, I mean so, and mine

326
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: are black on black, so you really can't tell that

327
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 2: they are cameras in there. And I often think about

328
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: this if I walk into a restaroom, like, wait a second,

329
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 2: I've got cameras on my face right now, hold on.

330
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, Zuckerberg walked into court in LA with

331
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 2: them and the judge said, hey, what are you doing there?

332
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: No, So, I mean, look, this is the thing.

333
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: I think that people are pretty aware of these glasses

334
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 2: and the fact that they're everywhere. But this developer created

335
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: an app called Nearby Glasses that will alert you if

336
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: someone nearby is wearing the meta ray bands and so

337
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: basically the app scans for bluetooth signals that these things

338
00:18:55,119 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 2: broadcast and basically send you a notification if it finds them. Look,

339
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I think this is

340
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: interesting to like covert recordings. If you're in a public place,

341
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: you pretty much see these things everywhere. But it's kind

342
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 2: of interesting if you're you know, in a private room

343
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: or sitting somewhere in a bar or whatever, and you

344
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: get this notification, you're like, Okay, just be aware someone

345
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: around me has these glasses on it. It's not foolproof,

346
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: but it's there, and I think.

347
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: It's very interesting that You're like, people are aware that

348
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: people are wearing these, and I think you and others

349
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: who are much more technologically knowledgeable than me probably do

350
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: realize that It's never even crossed my mind. So I

351
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: think I need this app that people might be wearing medaglasses.

352
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: I like, I've never even thought about it. So now

353
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to be funny.

354
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 2: I look at every single person's glasses, especially if they're chunky.

355
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: You know, I'm like, okay, let me see, Okay, do

356
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: they have a camera? Okay, I'm just you know, I don't.

357
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 2: I have not come across someone doing something nefarious with them.

358
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: But of course there's millions of people in this world.

359
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: Lots of people are and to be used for that.

360
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: This app is only for Android, by the way, just fyi.

361
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: Okay, And then I love this idea because who doesn't

362
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: love a beautiful sunset? But how do you know if

363
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: it's going to be a beautiful sunset or how do

364
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: you know if there's going to be a rainbow? Well,

365
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: now there's an app for that.

366
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: There is, and this app is called acme weather, very

367
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: generic name, which I think is a kind of fun.

368
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: And this is the creators of an app called Dark Sky,

369
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: which people loved. Apple bought that app and built it

370
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: into their weather app. So it's been years and now

371
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: these people that created that said, you know what, let's

372
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 2: try weather one more time. So they've got a couple

373
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 2: of new ideas in here. Number one community forecast, so

374
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 2: you can say what's happening near you. And alerts are

375
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: a big part of this app, so you can get

376
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: alerts for lightning, severe weather, rain and fun alerts like

377
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: you mentioned when it's going to be a rainbow in

378
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: your area, or let's see what's the other one. It's

379
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: the rainbows and oh, a great sunset as well. So

380
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: the downside of this app is that it's a two

381
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: week free trial and then it's twenty five dollars per year,

382
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: so you're not getting this one for free. And they

383
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: also give you weather predictions, which is like a instead

384
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: of just showing you one trend of like what the

385
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: weather's going to be, they show you a variation on

386
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: the top and the bottom of what the temperature and

387
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: rain and all that stuff.

388
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: So it's just a really different way of approaching weather.

389
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: And because you can crowdsource it a little bit, sort

390
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: of like the ways for weather.

391
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 3: Yes, that's exactly right. Okay. I meant to say that,

392
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 3: thank you, okay.

393
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: And then you've got some cool gadgets that you've been

394
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: talking about on KTLA and we have almost no time,

395
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 1: but don't want to hit on a couple of them.

396
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: One is a wallet sized tracker. What's that.

397
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: Yes, I've got this in my wallet. It's the Key

398
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 3: Smart smart Card, and I.

399
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: Love it because it's a credit card sized tracker, kind

400
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 2: of like an air tag, but you can slide it

401
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 2: into your wallet or you can put it in your

402
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 2: passport holder and it's rechargeable, so I love that. It

403
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: is just fantastic if you want something to track that's

404
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: not as big as an air tags. So that's the

405
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: Key Smart smart Card. I also have a Wi Fi hotspot.

406
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 2: It's called the Cemo Solace Edge five G. You turn

407
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,959
Speaker 2: this thing on and it gives you Internet in one

408
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 2: hundred and forty different countries, which I love. You can

409
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: use it to connect a bunch of devices and you can.

410
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: Use that around the world. I also have a.

411
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 2: Power bank, which I love, and a snap on wallet

412

Speaker 1: Hope she's breathing easier soon. Mayor bass Is hit back

430
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: at former LA Fire chief Kristin Crowley, who's suing the

431
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: city over her removal by Bass in the aftermath of

432
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: the Palisades fire. Crowley, who is still with the department

433
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: as an assistant chief, accuses Bass of orchestrating a campaign

434
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: of retaliation. Her lawsuit lays blamed for the fire at

435
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: the feet of the mayor and city leaders, saying they

436
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: failed to properly fund the department. But one of Bass's

437
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: advisers says the suit has no merit because Crowley was

438
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: removed over her failure to pre deploy on the day

439
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: the fire started, among other things. News brought to you

440
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: by American Vision. Windows officials say the LA School District

441
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: has above average participation and performance in Advanced Placement classes.

442
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: David Coleman is CEO of the College Board, which designs

443
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: the SAT and AP exams, and says seventy percent of

444
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: students in the district are taking the classes are.

445
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 2: Out pacing the national out of fifty seven percent.

446
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: He says a number of students in AP has grown

447
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: by thirty seven percent since twenty twenty one.

448
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: In too many schools, for too many students, AP remains

449
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: a class for other kids.

450
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 4: Not them.

451
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: Coleman says LA is redefining who has a seat at

452
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: the Advanced Placement table because taking a single AP course

453
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: can change a student's trajectory. The US Department of Justice

454
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: has sued the University of California.

455
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 5: Suit alleges the university fostered a hostile work environment against

456
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 5: Jewish and Israeli faculty and staff at UCLA in violation

457
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 5: of federal law. According to the complaint filed in LA

458
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 5: Federal Court yesterday, acts of anti Semitism permeated UCLA following

459
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 5: the hamas Led massacre in twenty twenty three. The suit

460
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 5: alleges the university engaged in a pattern or practice of

461
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 5: discrimination in violation of civil rights law against Jewish and

462
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 5: Israeli employees by failing to prevent and correct discriminatory and

463
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 5: harassing conduct. Deborah mark KOFFI, US.

464
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 1: Our nation is back, bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

465
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: That was the opening line of President Trump's State of

466
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: the Union, in which he touted closing the border, bringing

467
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: down inflation a big, dropping gas prices, lowest interest rates

468
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: in four years, lower record low murder rates, and rising

469
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: wages for workers. He also announced the goalie for Team

470
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: USA men's hockey would be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

471
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: That was a cool moment. The Lacity councils permanently enshrined

472
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: its unarmed crisis response model, in which clinical specialists instead

473
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: of police officers, respond to certain police calls. City officials

474
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: say the pilot program has been a success and can

475
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: save the city millions in future lawsuits that can arise

476
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: after police shootings. If you like to drive, the Riverside

477
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: Transit Agencies looking to hire dozens of drivers to operate

478
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: its fleet of buses that serve routes in western Riverside County.

479
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: The agencies holding a hiring event next month, and Hemmet

480
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: to conduct on the spot interviews with applicants paid more

481
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: than twenty six bucks an hour. It is uh six

482
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: oh five is the time that handle on the news

483
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: gets underway, and I would imagine the handle will have

484
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: a thing or two to say about the state of

485
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: the Union address. So you don't want to miss that.

486
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: Here's something else I don't think you want to miss.

487
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 4: Oh.

488
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: I forgot to put the music in Amy's on it.

489
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 3: Oh.

490
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: So it's because I was so excited about this movie.

491
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: As I've told you, I have been watching movies that

492
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 1: are nominated because we have the Actor Awards coming up

493
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: and we are SAG Actor after members and so we

494
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: get to vote on them. So I've watched several of

495
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: the movies that are nominated for Actor Awards and also

496
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: for Academy Awards and Golden globes and all of that stuff.

497
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: And I really haven't liked any of the movies, and

498
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: like not really liked any of the movies, so I

499
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: didn't expect to like this one either, but I was

500
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: dead wrong. It's Songs Sung Blue. It's available on Peacock.

501
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: It's based on a true story. It stars Hugh Jackman

502
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: as Mike, who's a Neil Neil Diamond interpreter as he

503
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: calls it. Kate Hudson is in it as Claire. She's

504
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: a Patsy Klein impersonator. And they play struggling musicians in Wisconsin.

505
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: What struggling musicians is kind of a an understatement, and

506
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: you know they're super struggling, can't make the bills, all

507
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: that stuff, but they just love to sing. And Mike

508
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: says at one point, I just want to entertain. So

509
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 1: they decide they're going to do that. They team up,

510
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: they go after their dreams, and it is so fun

511
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: to watch as they weave their way around Wisconsin playing

512
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: different shows and that kind of stuff, and the movie

513
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: just makes you smile. Like I was sitting there and

514
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: at one point I was sitting on the couch watching

515
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: the movie and I was like, oh, my God, my

516
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: face hurts because I'm smiling, and how often does that

517
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: happen in a movie anymore? So it's not a big

518
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: production movie. It feels very homey. It feels like the Midwest,

519
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: and that's probably because it closely is based on the

520
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: real story of Mike and Claire Sardina, based on a

521
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: real story. I looked it up afterwards and a lot

522
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: of the stuff that happened in the movie also happened

523
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: to them in real life. So I will tell you

524
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: too that it's not just about smiling. There is pain,

525
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: and there is loss, and there is sadness. And both

526
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: Jackman and Hudson are great. They both sing. It's not

527
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: dubbed voices, which again is really fun to see real talent.

528
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: It's touching, it's fun, it's funny, it's tragic. It makes

529
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: you laugh, it makes you cry, like seriously, both of

530
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: those things. And there's no gratuita sex. Every other word

531
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: isn't the F word. It's just refreshing. And I loved it.

532
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: I didn't expect you. I thought it was gonna be

533
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: kind of sappy and that kind of stuff. Loved it.

534
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: So it's probably not gonna win any Awards. But if

535
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: you want to feel good about going to the movies again,

536
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: watch songs Sung Blue. It's on Peacock and that is

537
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: what I'm on.

538
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

539
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna go and get depressed because I think

540
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: I gotta watch Hamnet. I've heard it's very good but

541
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: hard to watch. That's my next watch. All right, Time

542
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: to get in your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pelgriney. Good morning, Denise,

543
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: Good morning Amy. You got me thinking about all those

544
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: tribute bands. Some of them are so good and the

545
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: way they make us feel. I was thinking about Forever

546
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: in blue Jeans. Oh yeah, yeah. If you haven't watched

547
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: this movie, seriously, song sound Blue, it's great.

548
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 9: I will put it on my list.

549
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Bill Gates.

550
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's reportedly apologizing Amy for his ties to the

551
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 9: late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now Wall Street Journal says

552
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 9: he has admitted he made mistakes. He said so in

553
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 9: a town meeting at his philanthropic group. He says he

554
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 9: met with Epstein starting in twenty eleven and continued meeting

555
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 9: with him even after his then wife Melinda Gates expressed

556
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 9: concerns In twenty thirteen. Gates also apparently admitting his association

557
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 9: with Epstein gave Epstein's own reputation of boost and the

558
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 9: Microsoft co founder also says he had two affairs with

559
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 9: Russian women that Epstein later discovered. He says that didn't

560
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 9: involve Epstein victims. He says he did nothing elicit. He

561
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 9: spent time with Epstein and Germany, France, New York, and Washington,

562
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 9: but never stayed overnight and never visited Epstein's island.

563
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: Okay, we were just talking about movies because Songs on

564
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: Blue was only in theaters for a while. Now it's

565
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: on Peacock. But there's a lot of people that aren't

566
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: going to the movies, and now AMC is facing the

567
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: repercussions of that. And that's the.

568
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 9: Word from Sean Goodman, he's chief financial officer of AMC's

569
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 9: entertainment holdings, telling investors there's an opportunity to keep closing

570
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 9: underperforming theaters. That's kind of thing investors like to hear.

571
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 9: But communities do not, and movie fans do not, and

572
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 9: neither do those who make movies. The movie theater chain

573
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 9: does have the option to renew or terminate about eighty

574
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 9: five leases this year. That's about ten percent of locations.

575
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 9: Attendance fell last quarter, as you were hinting at AMC,

576
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 9: though says for the year it performed better than the

577
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 9: domestic box office in general. Okay, here's something that's kind

578
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 9: of good. Mortgage rates are dropping, yeah, coming down. The

579
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 9: contract rate on the thirty year fixed rate mortgage amy

580
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 9: down to six point h nine percent and if you

581
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 9: take out a five year adjustable five point two three percent.

582
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 9: Both are the lowest in September twenty twenty two, according

583
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 9: to the Mortgage Bankers Association, which says it seemed a

584
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 9: wave of refinancing, but mysteriously not a rush of buyers

585
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 9: trying to grab those lower rates, at least not for now. Okay,

586
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 9: And we always seem to end with food. McDonald's has

587
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 9: something big. Yes, they're getting ready to unveil their heaviest

588
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 9: burger ever here in the US. It might have that

589
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 9: kind of impact on people too. It's the biggest in

590
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 9: terms of calories, almost one thousand and sixty calories as

591
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 9: serving for the Big Arch. You know, when you think

592
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 9: about it, that's almost as much as two Big Macs,

593
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 9: which would be one one hundred sixty calories. This Big

594
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 9: Arch burger will start appearing on US menus next Tuesday.

595
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 9: They unveiled them overseas Canada. A bunch of European countries

596
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 9: tested them there. Apparently they were very popular there. This archburger,

597
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 9: the big archburger, I should say, has like three pieces

598
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 9: of cheese on it, two burgers, and of course all

599
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 9: the fixings. USA Today says, if you look at what

600
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 9: they're charging overseas, it's going to cost you ten or

601
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 9: eleven bucks that to pick one up.

602
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: Aby, all right, getting in your business like we do

603
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: every day with Bloomberg's Denise Pelagrene, and we'll talk to

604
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. Thanks to California's highest paid state workers will

605
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: soon be making even more. The state's latest payroll data

606
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: shows the top ten highest paid investment officers and executives

607
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: at the California Public Employees Retirement System and the California

608
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: State Teachers Retirement System collectively took home fifteen million dollars

609
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. That's nearly double with the public

610
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: pension systems we're giving their highest paid workers just seven

611
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: year years ago, the US Justice Department issued the University

612
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: of California claiming it created a hostile work environment for

613
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: Jewish and Israeli faculty and staff at UCLA. UCLA responded

614
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: by pointing to several steps it has taken to combat

615
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: anti Semitism. The County Board of Supervisors has given preliminary

616
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: approval to an ordinance expanding the list of unincorporated areas

617
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: where RVs and other large vehicles would be barred from

618
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: parking on county streets. There will be exemptions for construction, maintenance,

619
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: or other service vehicles. Let's say good morning now to

620
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: Jenny Voiceard with friends of Big Bear Valley. Good morning, Jenny.

621
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 10: Good morning.

622
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So we have so much to get to with you.

623
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: First of all, we've told our wake up Crew listeners

624
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: that we lost Sandy Steers and that was tragic and

625
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: we're so sorry for your loss. We've gotten so many

626
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,719
Speaker 1: nice emails and calls and dms from people who love

627
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: Sandy as much as we did, so we're so sorry

628
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: to hear about that.

629
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 10: Thank you so much for your kind words. It has

630
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 10: been very difficult. She was loved by her team and

631
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 10: as you say, by many others, and we too have

632
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 10: gotten just so many wonderful kind notes and messages and comments,

633
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 10: and it has been very uplifting during this time.

634
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and she's she was always just like

635
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: willing to come on at a moment's notice and talk

636
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: to us about you know, her passion project Jackie in Shadow,

637
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: and we so appreciated that and what just a gentle soul.

638
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: So we miss her already. And I'm sorry that she

639
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: didn't get to see because that Jackie is back on

640
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 1: the nest.

641
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 10: Yes, I think that was the only hard thing of

642
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 10: the day yesterday, was not being able to talk to

643
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 10: talk to Sandy about the I guess. Yeah, But however,

644
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 10: she was with us and very excited. I am sure

645
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,280
Speaker 10: to see that Jackie did in fact lainey yesterday around

646
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 10: to forty cam time.

647
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so this would be the second clutch of eggs Jenny,

648
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: and there's there's a chance she'll laice some more. They

649
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: usually come about two or three days apart.

650
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 10: Yes, potentially, we will look to see as she does

651
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 10: what is called delayed incubation, so that means she'll stand

652
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 10: to the side or hover over or Jackie in Shadow

653
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 10: may leave the egg you know, kind of open to

654
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 10: the air for a few minutes about the day and

655
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 10: so that's what we'll watch to see and they do

656
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 10: that so if they have multiple eggs, that they hatch

657
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 10: closer together and that the chicks are closer in size.

658
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 1: Okay, well I'm looking at the Big Bear Bald Ego

659
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: cam right now. Jackie just stood up, so I'm looking

660
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: at the egg so precious, I'm so happy. Okay. So

661
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: the reason that we actually were planning to talk today

662
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: is also very important. It's something that Sandy had been

663
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: working on for quite a while before she passed away,

664
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: and that was that she was opposing a development that

665
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: was going to go up in Big Bear and tell

666
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,479
Speaker 1: us a little bit about Moon Camp and what's going

667
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: on with it and why we need your help.

668
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 10: Yes, thank you. Sandy was fighting it for almost twenty

669
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 10: five years. In fact, this development was what originally became

670
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 10: what formed Friends of Big Bear Valley. And so it

671
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 10: is a strip of shoreline that is about less than

672
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 10: a mile from the nest, and it is wear bald

673
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 10: eagles and before Jackie in Shadow, Ricky and Lucy would

674
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 10: perch and forage for food. And it is also where

675
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 10: there is a rare and endangered plant species that is

676
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 10: found nowhere else in the world. And so Sandy has

677
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 10: been working to conserve and preserve this strip of shoreline

678
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 10: from a luxury housing development and marina slips that is

679
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 10: felt set to be built. And Friends of Big Bear

680
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 10: Valley was able to stop the project in twenty twenty

681
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 10: two through the courts, but they appealed and got things

682
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 10: started and it was approved again in September.

683
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: Okay, so what can people do or what are you

684
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: trying to do? Now?

685
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 10: We have created a site called Savemooncamp dot org and

686
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 10: before Sandy passed away, she was able to negotiate a

687
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 10: limited purchase agreement so that the San Bernardino Mountains Land

688
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 10: Trust is working to purchase the land for permanent conservation. Now,

689
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 10: we only have until the end of July to raise

690
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 10: the money to do so, and it's ten million dollars,

691
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 10: which is a lot. And we have a special website

692
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 10: called Savemoon Camp dot org that you can go and donate.

693
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 10: And if it looks like we're not going to meet

694
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 10: the deadline, then we will take the funds that we

695
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 10: have raised and put it towards a financing option, because

696
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 10: failure is not an option. We believe that Jackie and

697
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 10: Shadow would likely leave the area and it would be

698
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 10: harder for them to raise chicks if it were to

699
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 10: go through.

700
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you can raise the money, you can

701
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: buy the land and it would be permanently a conservatorship,

702
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: so it wouldn't be developed and it would be saved.

703
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 4: Correct.

704
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So you've got until July, so not

705
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: a lot of time. But I was thinking a lot

706
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: of people have called and asked what can we do

707
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: to say thank you to Sandy? How can we honor her?

708
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 10: That would be a great way to do it. M

709
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 10: are We are doing this in continuing Sandy's work and

710
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 10: doing this in her name and carrying the torch for her.

711
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 10: This was a top priority in something she believed to

712
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 10: her core. And if you would like to help, you

713
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 10: can go to save Moon Camp Dot.

714
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: All right, Jenny Voice Sard. Thank you so much friends

715
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,479
Speaker 1: of Big Bear Valley. You guys do such great work. Again,

716
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: we are so sorry for the loss of Sandy. Oh

717
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you. I know that you had

718
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: said that you were going to wait until the weather's

719
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: a little warmer. But there will be some sort of

720
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: a celebration of life for Sandy in the future.

721
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 3: Oh.

722
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:23,479
Speaker 10: Yes, we will plan a public outdoor celebration of life.

723
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,959
Speaker 10: And so we just want to ensure that several feet

724
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 10: of snow won't be dumped on folks that are trying

725
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 10: to come. So we'll have to wait a little bit

726
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 10: until late spring until we can rely on the weather

727
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 10: a little bit more, but we will definitely let everybody

728
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 10: know when that's going to be.

729
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: Okay, great, Thank you so much, Jenny, And again we're

730
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: super excited because Jackie's got a new egg and we'll

731
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: be watching the big bear bald eagle cam with eagle

732
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: eyed for the next month until hopefully one of the

733
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: at least one of the egglet's hatches. Thanks again, Jed.

734
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 10: Well, thank you so much. Appreciate you.

735
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: All right, take care, we'll talk to you soon. I

736
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: love that we have another egg. You know, nature is

737
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: amazing and it'll be interesting to see if Jackie lays

738
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: another egg. She was just messing around with some fluff,

739
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: like I said, she just stood up a little bit

740
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: ago and I got to see the egg and it's

741
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: just fun to watch, fun to watch. With that, our

742
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: time is done. What do you know about that. We're

743
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: over the hump Wednesday, but we'll be back first thing
