Yeah, 4 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 2: as you heard Neil, the water is falling from the sky. 5 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 3: That's no surprise. 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 2: You can look out and we all can be amateur 7 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 2: meteorologists if you like, at this point, because we all 8 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: can see exactly what's going on. And it's a mess 9 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: out there. Oh it's a mess. If you can stay home, 10 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 2: stay home. This is one of those perfect days and 11 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: evenings to just weekends at this point, to just stay inside, 12 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: hunkered down. You know, this region of southern California can't 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 2: handle rain. I was on the freeway. Mistake, I was driving. Mistake, 14 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: Stay home, safer at home. 15 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 3: People. Yeah, just they can't. They cannot drive. 16 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: They they're struggling to remember the basic of rules. So 17 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: it's not a pretty site out there. But we need 18 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 2: the rain, and we say that all the time, but 19 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: we do. 20 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: We do. 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: And of course there are areas that don't want the 22 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: rain right now. Those are those burned scar areas in Altadena, 23 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: Pasadena and the Palisades and throughout Malibu as well, and 24 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: luckily as of now, there's not much to report. There 25 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: have been mud slides in the mountains. The evacuation warnings 26 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: are still in effect as the rain is ongoing, but 27 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: the flash flood warnings have ended in La County. But 28 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,559 Speaker 2: mudslides and rock slides are still absolutely a major concern. 29 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: So I'm looking at Channel five KTLA right now and 30 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 2: there's a mud and debris flow in Oak Glen that 31 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: they're showing from a little bit earlier that you know, 32 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: you get. 33 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: Caught in one of those things. Don't try and cross 34 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 3: this with your car. You don't have the car. 35 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: You think you can move your car across this, It's 36 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: not gonna work. Today's not the day to try and 37 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: figure out how powerful your tires are or how much 38 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: water your vehicle can sustain. 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: Don't do it. Don't do it. Just stay home. 40 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 2: South Pasadena has sinkhole warnings, so the roads are also 41 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 2: opening up. You want to be wary of that as well. 42 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: It's raining. It's raining, and this is one of the 43 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: major storms, if not the biggest storm thus far. 44 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: I believe this year, this late autumn. 45 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 2: Storm going into the winter months and I imagine there's 46 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: more to come. This is an atmospheric river and with 47 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 2: that it brings a lot of rain, and rain is 48 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: in the forecast until about Tuesday, so this is something 49 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: you need to get used to. Trees are falling onto cars. 50 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,839 Speaker 2: I'm looking at Channel two. There's a tree that fell 51 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: on to a car, and Van Eye is a tree 52 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: that fell onto a car in Culver City. There are 53 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: trees falling all over the place. Don't park beneath trees. 54 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: There's flooding on the seven ten freeway in Long Beach. 55 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: There's just it. It is what it is, unfortunately, and 56 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: we'll keep you up to date on all things weather 57 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: related as we continue to track this storm as it 58 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: moves across southern California. One way in which we're affected 59 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: right here in the studio, and I don't know if 60 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: it's because of the rain, but I think it's highly 61 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: convenient that the elevators aren't working. And I was told 62 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: they will go down, but you cannot ride them up, 63 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: which then for me translates to don't ride them at all, 64 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: because if only one direction is working, it's probably not 65 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: the best idea to try and test your fate. So 66 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: all of us have been taking to the stairwells and 67 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: we've had some funny little stories about that. I posted 68 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: some information, some funny little quips about the stairwell adventures 69 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: on my Instagram at tiff hobbs On here, so you 70 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: can check that out and see I got to the 71 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: top of a stairwell and something happened. You're going to 72 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: have to go to my Instagram to see at tiff 73 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: hobbs On here.

They are saying that 175 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 2: this information was cherry picked out of context in an 176 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: effort to make President Trump look bad. But Democrats on 177 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 2: the House Oversight Committee released three emails initially where Epstein 178 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: mentioned President Trump. So these emails are causing a lot 179 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: of interest and a lot of head scratching. No one 180 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 2: really knows what to make of them just yet, but 181 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: they are floating out there, and i'm will continue to 182 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 2: be a high source of interest in conversation for the weeks, 183 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: if not months to come.

They're 232 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 2: it's own, They're their own unique beast. And I don't 233 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: know if Weimo is ready to tame that just yet, 234 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: especially when you take into account the mini mistakes WEIMO 235 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: makes on surface streets and then to put that on 236 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 2: freeways and during inclement weather like we're having today or 237 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: even the best of weather, skepticism, skepticism, and in the past, 238 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: Waimo's have typically avoided highways, and now weimo's saying, after 239 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: years of testing, years, I don't see that testing as 240 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: necessarily being successful. 241 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 3: But they do, which. 242 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 2: Includes public highways with employees driving on closed courses and 243 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 2: in virtual simulations. WEIMO says, it's ready, it's ready to 244 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: start offering those highway trips to you. And again it 245 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 2: starts tonight at seven, so you have an hour and 246 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 2: a half to get out there and hail away, mow 247 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 2: and make sure all of your affairs are in order 248 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: if you do, because I just skepticism.

What is an atmospheric river is what it's called. 275 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: And I always picture literally a river above my head, 276 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: and I don't think that's what it's supposed to look like. 277 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 2: But I'm no meteorologists, although I play one on radio. 278 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 3: To peg A canyon is still closed. 279 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 2: Naples Lane and Long Beach flooded and it's still draining, 280 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: draining slowly.

Storm Watch 287 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Our elevators don't work. And while we 288 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: can't necessarily point the finger at the rain necessarily, but 289 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 2: we can surmise that maybe the weather has something to 290 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: do with it. And at any rate, we all have 291 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 2: been forced to take the stairs. Horrible first world problems. Now. 292 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 2: I posted on my Instagram at tiff hobbs On here 293 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: my own exploits with stair travel today up to the 294 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 2: studio floor and thankfully Kayla was there to rescue me. 295 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 2: And you'll see the video if you If you do 296 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: go on my instagram at tif hobbs On here as 297 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 2: to why I actually needed rescue. So I'll still give 298 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 2: you some time to check that out. Maybe after six 299 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what happened. I'll give you some time 300 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: to go and see for yourself on Instagram at tif 301 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 2: hobbs On here. 302 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 3: If you're a renter in LA. 303 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 2: You know, it's one of the most expensive places to rent. 304 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: I think next to New York, maybe Seattle, maybe Hawaii. 305 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 2: Rent in LA is extremely high and one of the 306 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 2: things that keeps rent high is that annually there are 307 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: rental hikes. There are rent hikes where legally rent is 308 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 2: not supposed to go up past a certain percentage, but 309 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: it does happen, and often it happens illegally to tenants 310 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: who don't know their rights, don't know that these things 311 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: aren't supposed to happen and what they can fight against. 312 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: But in this case, LA has decided that they are 313 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: going to, through the city council, reform rent control for 314 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 2: what amounts to the first time in forty entire years. 315 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 3: Here's what's happening. 316 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 2: Under these new reforms, which were approved by the majority 317 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: of LA City Council members, rental hikes would be capped 318 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 2: at four percent four percent. That means it cannot be 319 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: a ten percent hike. Do the math there. It has 320 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: to stay at four percent or below. And that's even 321 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 2: if inflation in the overall economy runs higher. So even 322 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 2: if the economy is doing poorly, even if prices are 323 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 2: spiking everywhere else. LA City Council has decided that renters 324 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 2: within LA will not see annual rental increases beyond four 325 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: percent now. It took more than two years of discussion 326 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 2: and debate amongst LA City Council, but on Wednesday, they 327 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 2: voted to significantly lower those annual rent increases in most 328 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 2: of the city's apartments. LA's current rent control rules, because 329 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 2: there are rent control rules, guarantee that landlords have the 330 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 2: right to raise rents at least three percent every year. 331 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 2: At least three percent every year, increases can go as 332 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 2: high as ten percent in some apartments during periods of inflation. 333 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 2: If you've ever been a renter, you know that when 334 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 2: it's time to renew your lease, if you stay, you're 335 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 2: faced with the possibility that your rent may increase. Sometimes 336 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: you're lucky it's practically pennies on the dollar, and at 337 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 2: other times you see significant increases that don't seem to 338 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 2: match with what you expected. I'm a renter, no shame 339 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 2: in that for me. Enjoy renting. I love my place, 340 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 2: and last rental increase or last resigning of my lease, 341 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 2: my rent was raised about one hundred dollars. 342 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 3: If I were to just round it up. 343 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 2: Now for me, I can absorb that increase, But what 344 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: of those people who are on fixed incomes or are 345 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 2: perhaps not necessarily able to pay for something like that. 346 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,959 Speaker 2: And people will say, well, just move. It ain't that easy. 347 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: It ain't that easy, especially if you've been there for 348 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: a while. But now LA will cap that rental increase 349 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: at four percent. 350 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 3: No more. 351 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: Will it be at least three percent, up to ten 352 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: percent and sometimes higher. No, landlords will not be able 353 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 2: to go past four percent. Now there is an additional 354 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 2: two percent increase for landlords who cover utilities, and the 355 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 2: exact rate each year would be equal to about ninety 356 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 2: percent of the change in the region's consumer price index, 357 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 2: which measures economic inflation. Nidia Raman, who's chair of the 358 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 2: City Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee, said we need. 359 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 3: To make a change to this formula. 360 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 2: She went on to say that extraordinary rent increases are 361 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 2: driving people out of the city, and of course landlords 362 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 2: are none too pleased with this. They're saying, what about us, 363 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: Will there be assistance? Will there be subsidies for these changes? 364 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 2: And landlord groups are clamoring together to try and figure 365 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 2: out how to mitigate skyrocketing insurance premiums, steeper maintenance costs. 366 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 2: All of those things included are leading to a lot 367 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 2: of dissent between renters and these landlord groups. But as 368 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 2: of right now, this rent control applies and it will 369 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 2: go into effectiate I. 370 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 3: Think it's immediately here. 371 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 2: So if you're a renter and you plan to stay, 372 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 2: you plan to renew, that's good news on the forefront 373 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 2: for you. It's capped at four percent, no longer can 374 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: it exceed four percent up to ten percent. When we 375 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: come back, we are going to talk about this lawsuit 376 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: against United Airlines. People are suing because they say they're 377 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 2: purchasing window seats and not getting window seats, that it's 378 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 2: all a scam. This could be an our Scammer's gonna 379 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: scam segment, but it's not. We're going to talk about 380 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 2: everything involved in this lawsuit and why if you buy 381 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 2: a window seat you need to make sure it's actually 382 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: a window seat.

It was a banner, Cupola, Coppola. 442 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 2: It was like a foreign one because I was going 443 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 2: out of the country, like CheapTickets dot com. 444 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 3: You are ready, Hey, it's I'm not.

Passengers have filed a 451 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 2: class action lawsuit against both airlines again United in Delta, 452 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 2: after they say some of the seats on Boeing seven 453 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 2: thirty seven, seven fifty seven and Airbus A three twenty 454 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: one planes that were labeled as window seats had no 455 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 2: actual windows, a detail they claim was not disclosed during booking. Now, 456 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 2: the attorney Carter Greenbaum, who's representing the plaintiffs against United 457 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 2: and Delta. Toyed Toyd told Reuters that United's position was 458 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 2: contrary to the reasonable expectations of countless passengers who unknowingly 459 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 2: paid extra money for windowless window seats. Consumers deserve better 460 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: than empty promises, and United's word games sasy sasy well. Also, 461 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 2: there's a filing that came in on Monday and Sat 462 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 2: Francisco Federal Court, and United argued that it never contractually 463 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 2: guaranteed that window seats would in fact provide a window view, 464 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 2: and that despite labeling them as such on booking screens 465 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 2: and boarding passes, the word window identifies the position of 466 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 2: the seat, i e. Next To the wall of the 467 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: main body of the aircraft and does not necessarily mean 468 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 2: that you'll have an exterior window view. The dirty dirtiness 469 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: of United and Delta in this case. They say book 470 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: a window seat, it means you're sitting against the wall. 471 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 2: Sounds like wording that is intentionally confusing, intentionally misleading, But 472 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 2: that's their counter suit. They're alleging they never promised a view. 473 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 2: Even though a window doesn't promise a view, it's by 474 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 2: definition a gateway to a view. 475 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 3: But that's not what they're saying. You're paying for. 476 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 2: You're paying for being next to the wall of the 477 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: main body of the aircraft, and you're lucky if that 478 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 2: lines up with an actual view outside. Now, these these 479 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 2: passengers who are suing are are definitely suing for quite 480 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 2: a bit of money, and the lawsuits seek millions in 481 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 2: damages on behalf of over one million passengers per airline. 482 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 2: That's United and Delta, So these are multiple millions that 483 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 2: they're seeking for one million over one million passengers, which 484 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: will amount to like three dollars per person when the 485 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 2: lawsuit actually shakes down, but hopefully, hey, it's worth it. 486 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 2: When I book a windows seat, I want a window seat. 487 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 2: I don't want someone playing games. I also don't want 488 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 2: to come into contact with someone who is telling me 489 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: that their eye color is natural, but in fact it 490 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: was purchased through a surgery, and that this is now 491 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 2: a very easy and logical way to not only change 492 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 2: your appearance. 493 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 3: But to dupe people.
