<v Speaker 3>that we're really special and they should push us out

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 3>to even more peoples, and then the message grows and uh,

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. At some point we make money off

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 3>of this, but right now it's just for you know vibes.

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Eight hundred two two two five two two two is

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>a telephone number one eight hundred two two two five

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>two two two. Well, there is a battle going on

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>right now in San Francisco that I am loving. It

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 1>reminds me of what you'd see on some of those

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>trashy reality shows on Bravo.

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh, which you have consumed many of.

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, yes, I'm a big fan of those programs.

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>In fact, when we did the Morning Show, I would

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>come home from work tired and wanting a nab, but

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Bravo would have a marathon going on of Below Deck

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>or one of the others, and I would just get

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>sucked right in and I'd spend my day watching it.

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>But what's going on right now in San Francisco is

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that longtime Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi has decided to call it quits.

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>After being elected as the congresswoman from San Francisco following

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the death of Salim Burton, and then working your way

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>up through the food chain to become Speaker of the House,

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 1>and then sticking around after the Republicans took the majority

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and she was no longer Speaker of the House, in fact,

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>she was no longer in leadership at all. She was

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>just a rank and file Democrat who I guess they

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>would go to as an older sage for advice when

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>they needed it. But Nancy Pelosi has been in the

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Congress for decades and is now leaving. And one of

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the things that politicians like to do is they like

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>to pick their success. You don't like to have some

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>random person take over your seat after you leave, because

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>you spent all of this time with your staff, with

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:15.639
<v Speaker 1>your constituents, with the businesses and unions and different entities

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>in your district that rely on you to deliver for them.

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>So you want to make sure that everyone's in good hands.

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>And what happened with Nancy Pelosi was she stuck around

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 1>so long that people stopped being polite who were waiting

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>in line to take over for her. And one of

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>them who stopped being polite was Scott Wiener. Scott Wiener

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>was the state senator from San Francisco who developed, let's say,

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>a national profile, mostly through negative attention on Fox News

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and other conservative outlets, but he did develop a national

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>profile file and because there's so many Democratic politicians in

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco, he was worried that if he didn't act first,

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>that someone else would be able to outorganize him and

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>eat his lunch and then win the election to replace

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi. So he decided, no one's going to get

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>ahead of me. I'm going to start before everyone else,

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and I don't care if it upsets her. So what

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>he decided to do was start raising money, opening up

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>campaign accounts, and announcing that he was going to run

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>for Congress before she announced that she was retiring. So,

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>from her point of view, he crossed her. He was

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>embarrassing her. He was not treating her with the respect

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>that she deserves, frankly, and because of that, she now

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 1>has it in for him. At one point in time,

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:13.359
<v Speaker 1>her daughter wanted to replace her, and he started so early,

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and he started building up such a war chest, and

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 1>he started collecting so many endorsements that the daughter wouldn't

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>be able to beat him. So not only did he

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>upstage Nancy Pelosi by announcing that he was running before

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>she said she was calling it quits, he made it

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>so that her daughter, who's now running for state Senate,

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>couldn't replace her. So that pissed her off squared So

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 1>she needed a candidate to run against him, So she

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 1>picked Connie Chan off the Board of Supervisors, who was

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>decidedly not ready for prime time. So what you now

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.679
<v Speaker 1>have is you now have a race between Wiener and Chan.

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>And because Chan is remedial, Nancy Pelosi has to do

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>all the heavy lifting. She had to put together the

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>staff for her, she has to put together the fundraisers

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>for her, She has to make sure that she's taking

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the right positions on the right issues. She is the

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.239
<v Speaker 1>warm body Connie Chan, but it's Pelosi and her team

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.160
<v Speaker 1>that's calling the shots. Well, everyone in San Francisco is

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>aware of this, including Scott Wiener, so he put together

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>some AI chatbot to make fun of her because she

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have anything original in her own head, it's all

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi's words coming out of her mouth. Well, Nancy

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:49.599
<v Speaker 1>Pelosi didn't like that AI chatbot, so she said that

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that chatbot is sexist and it's making fun of Connie

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>for being Chinese. Now what her being Chinese has to

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 1>do with the chat bot, I don't know. But if

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>she's called Scott Wiener sexist and racist, that's what you know.

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.679
<v Speaker 1>The temperatures getting high in that race.

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 3>We love everybody for more on the now aborted Connie

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Chan AI chat bot scheme. In the race to replace Pelosi,

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 3>here is kron four.

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 4>Controversy continues tonight in the race to replace Nancy Pelosi

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 4>in California's eleventh district. This after State Senator Scott Wiener

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 4>launched an AI chatbot of his opponent San Francisco Supervisor

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 4>Connie Chan and that tops the news at ten. Welcome everyone,

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm Katherine Heenan.

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 3>So now even the political billboards are nothing but advertising AI.

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, Katherine Heenan no relation to Bobby

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the Breen.

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 4>Senator Wiener has since taken the bot down. He's apologized,

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 4>but Supervisor Chance says too little, too late. Crown Force

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 4>Lindsay Ford has the story.

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Washington, just say what you really want to say? F

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 3>you Wiener?

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 5>Did you ready for us?

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Boy? Remember that interview we played that she gave.

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>That was just crash and burn.

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 3>She's a special one.

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 6>A political fight over artificial intelligence is now playing a

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 6>major role in the race to replace Nancy Pelosi in Congress.

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 6>State Senator Scott Wiener is removing an AI chatbot.

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 3>That see this is the problem all the people that

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 3>were messaging the AI chatbot didn't want to ask her

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 3>about blocking housing in her district. They wanted to ask

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 3>about her race and her accent. So I guess that's

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.559
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, and so this is a strange story.

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:03.440
<v Speaker 1>What's weird here is they're very different on subjects at

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the local level, particularly on the subject of housing. But

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>should either one of them get elected to Congress, they're

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>going to have virtually the entire an identical voting record

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 1>because they're going to be voting on subjects like abortion

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.839
<v Speaker 1>and budgets and whether or not we go to war,

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>all of those things. And I don't see any daylight

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>between the two of them.

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:36.679
<v Speaker 6>Targeted his opponent, San Francisco's Supervisor, Connie Chan, but on

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 6>Saturday in San Francisco's Mission District at Supervisor Chans campaign,

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 6>Chan says the damage has already been done.

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 7>Not just how I reacted personally or our campaign team,

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 7>is how people reacted in San Francisco should actually give

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 7>us a lot of hope about San Francisco.

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, someone wowed way too loud for a Connie Chan

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 3>rally at her little office in the Mission.

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you saw it, but Pelosi's daughter

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>was one of the people who was sitting in there.

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh really.

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 6>State Senator Scott Wiener's campaign created the website Connie Chan

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 6>dot Ai, a parody chatbot designed to criticize San Francisco

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 6>Supervisor Connie Chan's record on housing, public transit, and other

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 6>issues in a joint.

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:34.719
<v Speaker 3>Someone just had to be creative, didn't they.

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 6>Statement attributed to Nancy Pelosi.

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 3>Although it is very San Francisco. If you drive around

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Los Angeles, all you will see is billboards for PI

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Lawyers in English and Spanish. If you driver walk around

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 3>the city of San Francisco, every billboard is for some

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 3>other AI company you've never heard of. So Scott Wiener

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 3>wanted to add it to the mix with Connie Chan

0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 3>dot Ai.

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised that Nancy Pelosi knows what AI is, because remember,

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I think we played an interview of Jim Clyburn where

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the subject of chat GPT came up and he had

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>no clue what they were talking about.

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if she knows, but the daughter probably

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 3>gave her a primer.

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.679
<v Speaker 6>He several members of Congress, San Francisco supervisors, and local

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 6>Democratic clubs. The group said women have spent generations fighting

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 6>to have our voices heard in the halls of power.

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 6>We should not have to now fight against artificial intelligence

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 6>putting words in our mouths.

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 3>I am confused about how creating the chatbot is sexist

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 3>and racist.

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, But to me, this is like Iran

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>going and going to war with Iraq. I'm just rooting

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:53.560
<v Speaker 1>for casualties.

0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.839
<v Speaker 8>We believe a woman, a woman of colors, boy matter.

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.839
<v Speaker 3>And we believe that they're so inspired.

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 7>Communities from Chinatown, from the most marginalized, can be leaders

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 7>of our city.

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 6>Saturday morning, a Crown for producer got this video of

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:21.959
<v Speaker 6>a billboard in the Richmond neighbor.

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Wha, whoa, whoa, whoa. Do you see what it said

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:24.319
<v Speaker 1>on that billboard?

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, let me let me freeze frame it on the

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 3>billboard for a second.

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 7>Can be leaders of our city.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so the billboard in question, Let's do nothing together.

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:42.199
<v Speaker 3>Connie Chan dot ai got vandalized and it says Scott

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Wiener is a white devil. Connie Chan for Congress, but

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 3>white is misspelled, and Congress is misspelled. White is spelled

0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 3>w i te and Congress is spelled c n g RSS.

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 3>How did they spell Wiener correctly, but not white. It's

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 3>a very good question. This is why you gotta watch

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 3>the video. If you can't watch it live right now,

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.199
<v Speaker 3>it's on demand at Johnny Don't Like dot Com.

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 6>Saturday morning, a Kronfor producer got this video of a

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:26.439
<v Speaker 6>billboard in the Richmond neighborhood advertising the chatbotten I.

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Am here for Scott Wiener being called a white devil.

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 3>The ab La Blanco.

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 6>Tine was also vandalized with a message reading, quote Scott

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 6>Wiener is a white devil. Oh boy, Connie chan for

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:53.199
<v Speaker 6>Congress end quote. Kronford did reach out to Senator Scott

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 6>Wiener's campaign on Saturday, but did not hear back in

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 6>time for our deadline.

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Well wait a minute, what is the white have that

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 1>going on that's so important where he couldn't return the call.

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he's authoring new legislation that will make it even

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 3>harder to criminally charge somebody for knowingly giving them AIDS,

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.200
<v Speaker 3>which is a thing he actually did.

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 6>Friday, Wiener said he had apologized to those who were

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 6>offended by the AI chatbot and that his campaign was

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 6>taking down the website.

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so who got fired over this one?

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but it sounds like it wasn't a

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 1>fun weekend over at the Diablos Place.

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 6>Statement from Senator Wiener Reid's I heard from many people

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 6>who loved the idea, and I appreciate their support, but

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 6>many others were offended, and I apologize for causing that offense.

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 8>He made the right decision to take the site down,

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 8>but what happened there is that it should not re

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 8>raise what actually happened that the first place that he

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 8>actually put it up, it was offensive, sexist and racist, and.

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 3>It I'm still not sure how, but Okay, she is

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 3>an awful candidate, and I hate saying that because I

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 3>do not want him to win, but this woman is

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 3>remedial from top to bottom. Yeah, I mean, but thinking

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 3>of this, if Pelosi doesn't step in and endorse Connie Chan,

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 3>it would have been Scott Weener versus the DSA guy.

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna screw up his name, Sykart Chakwabody.

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even gonna try.

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 3>I didn't think you would.

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 8>It was a poor judgment and poor character and unbecoming

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 8>of a congressional.

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 6>Candidate reporting in San Francis.

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 1>That's the Dons right there.

0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh, yeah.

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:45.800
<v Speaker 9>For me.

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 3>So there you go. The controversy over the Connie chan

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 3>dot AI chat bot that apparently was very racist and

0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 3>sexist that somebody decided to vandalize the billboard calling Scott

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Wainer a white devil.

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, up until now they've been going after him for

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 1>being Jewish. Oh my, remember that they chased him down

0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 1>at the transgendered parade.

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 3>So far, the general election campaign hasn't been going very

0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 3>well for Wiener.

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>How is it racist to have an AI chat bot

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 1>that says no to everything as Connie Chan, But it's

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.640
<v Speaker 1>not racist to vandalize a billboard saying Scott Wiener is

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a white devil. Connie Chan for Congress.

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 3>My guess is, if you really wanted to like understand

0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.760
<v Speaker 3>why someone would say it's racist, it's if you ask

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 3>the chatbot a racist question, how does it respond? But again,

0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't understand. This is a We're entering a weird

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 3>new territory in political mudslinging.

0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I wonder why she's not going after him for decriminalizing

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:11.800
<v Speaker 1>given someone aids.

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Knowingly, maybe she supports that position.

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.919
<v Speaker 3>He also is the godfather of decriminalizing prostitution in the

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.120
<v Speaker 3>state of California, which is why you have street walkers

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 3>on capstreet Boy.

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.240
<v Speaker 1>He's just full of great ideas, isn't he?

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 3>And he wants to go to Congress.

<v Speaker 2>Who can small right here?

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.000

0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 3>hundred and seventeen subscribers, and when we get to five thousand,

0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:40.000
<v Speaker 3>we have to go do a show from the Tijuana River.

0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 1>That sounds lovely.

0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 3>You would like to make sure we do that. Tell

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:53.320

<v Speaker 1>Whosh, whoa whoa Las Breese's Tortoise number two. Yes, I

<v Speaker 3>I knew exactly where you were gone with that the

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:18.720
<v Speaker 3>second I heard it.

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 10>All business owners will take extra precautions. Tony Shen is

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.679
<v Speaker 10>live in Imperial Beach and Tony the thief caused a

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:27.640
<v Speaker 10>lot of damage.

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:33.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, Christina, we're not talking about hundreds of

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 5>dollars in damage. We are talking about thousands of dollars

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 5>in damage. And as you're about to see, the burglar

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.359

0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 11>It's actually my wife's dream of owning a small, littld

0:21:58.000 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 11>mom and pop shop.

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.640
<v Speaker 5>Like most new businesses, it can be a financial struggle

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:05.360
<v Speaker 5>just to make ends.

0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Meet, especially nowadays. It's just very very tough.

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:11.679
<v Speaker 11>You know, everything's so expensive, and then we have to

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:13.880
<v Speaker 11>be here one hundred and ten percent over time.

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 3>There's the sound.

0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Apparently someone was hungry.

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 5>And around three o'clock Wednesday morning, things got really tough.

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:28.040
<v Speaker 5>That's when a burglar smashed the front door with a crowbar.

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 5>The suspect headed directly to the cash register and yanked

0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:33.679
<v Speaker 5>it from the front counter.

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.600
<v Speaker 3>That's not very nice, No it's not.

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 1>And I bet you there was nothing in there, but

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:44.800
<v Speaker 1>they left thousands and thousands of dollars in damage.

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:48.480
<v Speaker 5>Before calmly walking away with it all. Within about thirty seconds,

0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 5>Andy got an alert on his phone which woke came up.

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 5>He couldn't believe his eyes.

0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 2>And I'm just looking at it like and shot, Like

0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 2>am I dreaming? Or you know? This is a nice

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:04.240
<v Speaker 2>what's going on? And just watching our dreams just get shattered?

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:09.960
<v Speaker 5>Andy says he felt helpless. All he could do was

0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:13.719
<v Speaker 5>call the Sheriff's office. Deputies arrived with guns drawn and

0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 5>a canine ready to react.

0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:18.679
<v Speaker 3>Many hours later, it was three in the morning, and

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:20.600
<v Speaker 3>now it is very obviously daylight.

0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 1>What are they gonna do? Shoot the coke machine?

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 5>They searched the shot, but the burglar was already gone.

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, if we want to really silence the Francis

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Gills who want to defund and get rid of police

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:41.600
<v Speaker 3>in prisons, what have you. Our current system of policing

0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:44.400
<v Speaker 3>needs to be a little more effective at their jobs.

0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:50.359
<v Speaker 5>And all that was left was thousands of dollars in damage.

0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:54.160
<v Speaker 2>It was fifteen dollars just the glass, and they install

0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 2>for the door for the.

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 5>Door at another four thousand dollars for the cash register

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 5>and damage to the point of sale system.

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 3>Four thousand dollars. Holy cow.

0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:08.920
<v Speaker 1>And they haven't said if there was anything in that

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 1>cash register, but my guess is no.

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:15.080
<v Speaker 3>This is why so many restaurants, even though people don't

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:18.879
<v Speaker 3>want them to go to, we only accept credit cards.

0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Having a cash or even the ability to take cash

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:25.359
<v Speaker 3>is a liability. Also, if you're just doing it with

0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:28.360
<v Speaker 3>credit cards, that point of sale system costs you way

0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:29.920
<v Speaker 3>less because you just need an iPad.

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:33.959
<v Speaker 1>And frequently what they'll do is they'll just open up

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the cash register with the money all gone, so you

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:39.560
<v Speaker 1>can see that there's nothing in there.

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:45.399
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember the famous barbecue joint in Oakland that

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 3>got burglarized and someone went to steal the cash register.

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:52.480
<v Speaker 3>And they don't keep any money in the cash register,

0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:55.360
<v Speaker 3>but they do put a job application in there.

0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:58.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I don't think they found that funny though.

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:02.160
<v Speaker 5>Plus a three hundred dollars in cash.

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 3>It has completely changed your life.

0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Heartbroken.

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, for now, this is what they're using as a

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:09.240
<v Speaker 5>cash register.

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 3>That's so sad.

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh God, they're going to get hit again.

0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:16.399
<v Speaker 5>Until they can get a new one. Andy says he

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.560
<v Speaker 5>and his wife aren't letting this crime stop them from

0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 5>working hard to keep this business afloat.

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:24.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, those tortas do look excellente.

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 1>It is making me hungry.

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:29.960
<v Speaker 5>He has this message for the heartless thief.

0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 11>Hopefully they think about it next time, because they did shattered,

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 11>especially my wife's dream.

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:38.800
<v Speaker 6>Now.

0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:41.919
<v Speaker 5>Andy believes that the burglar may have actually come into

0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:45.639
<v Speaker 5>his business prior to the burglary, posing as a customer

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:47.200
<v Speaker 5>to check things out.

0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:51.200
<v Speaker 3>He was casing the joint while eating at Tarta apparently.

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 5>So if you have any information about this case, call

0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:59.200
<v Speaker 5>crime stoppers. We're putting live in Imperial Beach. I'm Tony's chen.

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 5>Christina will send them back.

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 10>To you, all right, Tony, thank you so much for

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:03.960
<v Speaker 10>that report.

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:09.719
<v Speaker 3>So there you go. A restaurant burglary an Imperial Beach,

0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:14.520
<v Speaker 3>shattered the glass, stole the cash register. Did they actually

0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 3>get anything, No, but they caused so much damage.

0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:24.359
<v Speaker 1>And wrecked this couple's life, at least for the time being.

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 3>I love the fact that three plus hours later the

0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Sheriff's department comes with the canine guns drawn, like, come on,

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:35.680
<v Speaker 3>why even show up.

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:42.680
<v Speaker 1>We've got this covered. We're here. So that's what's going on.

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:47.200
<v Speaker 1>In Imperial Beach in Los Angeles County in southern California,

0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:53.360
<v Speaker 1>there have been Verizon outages all over the place because of.

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Vandalism, because people think that they're stealing copper wire and

0:26:58.640 --> 0:27:01.639
<v Speaker 3>it's just fiber optic cable that is not worth what

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:05.040
<v Speaker 3>copper's worth. But it knocked out cell service for the

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 3>entire valley. If you're on Verizon. For more, here's a

0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:13.040
<v Speaker 3>report from KTLA five.

0:27:14.960 --> 0:27:19.680
<v Speaker 6>Rising customers across a large swath of southern California outraged

0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 6>over service outages today.

0:27:21.640 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 7>The cause vandals.

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:25.920
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, The company says that somebody cut several fiber lines

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:29.080
<v Speaker 12>and that damage impacted wireless and internet service.

0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 3>You know, I currently have AT and T installing fiber

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 3>in my neighborhood, and this is one of the reasons

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 3>I have decided to stick with Starlink because I know

0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:42.679
<v Speaker 3>that just because they're putting fiber in the ground doesn't

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:45.720
<v Speaker 3>mean that the Internet will work when some jackass goes

0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 3>to cut the cable.

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, this is so unbelievably disruptive for so many people

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 1>because post COVID, I would imagine more people work from

0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 1>home now than ever before. I would imagine that a

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of students are now taking classes entirely online, more

0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 1>so than ever before. And if the Internet goes out

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:10.639
<v Speaker 1>in these neighborhoods, suddenly you have people who can't work,

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:13.760
<v Speaker 1>they can't go to school, they can't fulfill any of

0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:14.960
<v Speaker 1>their obligations.

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:15.880
<v Speaker 11>This is.

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:22.719
<v Speaker 12>Unbelievably disruptive throughout the San Fernando Valley and beyond. Lindsay

0:28:22.760 --> 0:28:25.520
<v Speaker 12>Penya joining us live in Studio City tonight. She's got

0:28:25.520 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 12>more on that, Lindsay.

0:28:28.800 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, Hi there, Rick and Karen. So last update from

0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:34.439
<v Speaker 13>Verizon is that repairs are underway and they hope to

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 13>have service completely restored within the next couple of hours. Meanwhile,

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 13>this outage is just one of many we've seen recently

0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 13>connected to vandalism, soos it's what Verizon customers all over

0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:51.560
<v Speaker 13>parts of Los Angeles and southern California started seeing on

0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 13>their phone Sunday morning, all.

0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 9>Of a sudden, I couldn't call out, Nobody could call me.

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 14>Kind of feels like you're naked.

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 1>You know what, that's a new spin.

0:29:03.800 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 3>It kind of feels like you're naked.

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 14>Okay, We've gotten so used to phones being a part

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 14>of our life, so it just kind of felt like

0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:16.000
<v Speaker 14>you walk up the house, love hants on or something.

0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:25.400
<v Speaker 1>All Right, I don't want to cast any aspersions on him,

0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>but can you imagine what's in his search history?

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 3>In case anyone ever wonders why I choose the KTLI

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 3>rap or the Fox eleven rap because every station did

0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 3>this story yesterday, Why would I choose this one? It

0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:49.360
<v Speaker 3>was for that guy and that very strange comment about

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:53.360
<v Speaker 3>how not having cell service is like dropping your pants.

0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe it.

0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 13>Company alerting customers on its app and social media.

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Wait, they can't read the social media, the internets.

0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:08.600
<v Speaker 1>You want to communicate with them, you better send a carrier.

0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:12.360
<v Speaker 13>Pigeon that the outage was due to multiple fiber cuts,

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:16.280
<v Speaker 13>and confirming to KTLA that those cuts were related to vandalism.

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 3>And when they say vandalism, they mean people stealing copper wire.

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 3>And the thing is people might steal fiber optic cable

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 3>thinking that it's copper wire. Regardless, this is so unbelievably destructive,

0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:35.360
<v Speaker 3>and LA seems to have zero answer for what to

0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:37.640
<v Speaker 3>do about it, because we don't want to go after

0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 3>the people stealing it, and we don't want to go

0:30:39.880 --> 0:30:42.760
<v Speaker 3>after the junkers and the smelters that are buying it.

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:45.640
<v Speaker 1>And let's be honest, it's a bunch of crackheads who

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 1>are looking to make money for drugs.

0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes it's that. Sometimes at this point, it's very organized

0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:53.520
<v Speaker 3>as to what's going on.

0:30:54.160 --> 0:30:57.040
<v Speaker 13>A statement reading in part quote. These are not simple

0:30:57.080 --> 0:31:01.320
<v Speaker 13>property crimes. They are dangerous disruptions that vital lifelines for

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 13>our first responders and public safety officials who rely on

0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:06.160
<v Speaker 13>constant connectivity.

0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 14>I'm not surprised because I guess there's been a nationwide

0:31:09.680 --> 0:31:14.120
<v Speaker 14>theft of fiber optics cables and just copper cables in general,

0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 14>so makes sense.

0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 3>They were just trying to see if they get them

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:18.600
<v Speaker 3>to say naked one more time.

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised he didn't.

0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:22.960
<v Speaker 13>Just a few days ago, Spectrum reported some of its

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 13>fiber lines in Los Angeles were intentionally cut.

0:31:26.000 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, now I really made the right decision in shutting

0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:33.160
<v Speaker 3>off Spectrum, which I kept having reliability issues, and that's

0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 3>why now I'm on starlink. And I don't know if

0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:38.680
<v Speaker 3>that happened to do with cables getting cut or just

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 3>Spectrum being Spectrum, but I got to have my internet work.

0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 13>In criminal attack causing an outage for customers in several

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:47.440
<v Speaker 13>parts of the city.

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Co oh gosh. And then especially if you don't know

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:54.960
<v Speaker 3>what's going on and you're just doing that blank stare

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:57.240
<v Speaker 3>that we've all had to do at the modem after

0:31:57.280 --> 0:31:59.520
<v Speaker 3>you've unplugged it and plugged it back in for the

0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:03.080
<v Speaker 3>fifteen time and waiting for all the lights to turn on,

0:32:03.280 --> 0:32:05.680
<v Speaker 3>and then they don't, and all of a sudden, you've

0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 3>wasted half of your Sunday and you don't know what

0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:08.880
<v Speaker 3>to do with yourself.

0:32:10.560 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 13>Company saying these types of attacks are on the rise.

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 13>Quote the broader telecommunications industry experience fifteen five hundred and

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:21.920
<v Speaker 13>forty attacks between June twenty twenty four and June twenty

0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 13>twenty five, affecting more than nine point five million customers

0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 13>across the country.

0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:33.400
<v Speaker 3>That is, this is a bad number. This is why

0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 3>do we live like this? Other places don't have these problems. No, no,

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:43.280
<v Speaker 3>just here in the insane asylum.

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:45.040
<v Speaker 13>Spectrum says they filed a police report and are offering

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 13>a reward for information leading to an arrest. They also

0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 13>point out that their fiber optic cable doesn't contain copper,

0:32:51.760 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 13>a prime target for thieves when it comes to vandalism

0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:58.800
<v Speaker 13>related outages. Customers say they're simply frustrated. This just really

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 13>sucks because when you need it, you don't have it.

0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:03.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, she's got a real throaty voice.

0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, well, at least she still has her cigarettes.

0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:12.040
<v Speaker 13>Now again. Verizon says that it expects to have service

0:33:12.120 --> 0:33:15.080
<v Speaker 13>restored within the next couple of hours. It's telling customers

0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 13>to go to its website.

0:33:16.400 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 3>They can't go to the website.

0:33:20.680 --> 0:33:22.320
<v Speaker 1>You think they're just trying to play a.

0:33:22.320 --> 0:33:26.800
<v Speaker 13>Joke to check the status of service in their area.

0:33:26.880 --> 0:33:29.120
<v Speaker 13>We're reporting live here in Studio City, Lindsay Benye knat

0:33:29.120 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 13>tell a five News Rick kareem back to you.

0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm telling you right now, unless we can figure out

0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 3>how to really knock this off, the damage to our

0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:41.680
<v Speaker 3>infrastructure is getting so massive on a daily basis, where

0:33:41.680 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 3>you're having so many of these things happening, and it

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:47.960
<v Speaker 3>is knocking out very expensive operations to put high speed

0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:51.520
<v Speaker 3>internet throughout the entire state, let alone the country. If

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:53.520
<v Speaker 3>we can't figure out a way to knock this down,

0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 3>it's time to invest in SpaceX because everyone's going to

0:33:57.080 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 3>get starlink.

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:03.640
<v Speaker 1>It's the John Phillips Show. If you'd like to watch

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:06.120

0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:11.560
<v Speaker 1>It really helps us out a lot. We're just shy

0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:14.240
<v Speaker 1>of three hundred. Let's get it over three hundred before

0:34:14.239 --> 0:34:17.520
<v Speaker 1>we sign off at three. All right, there are new

0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 1>e bike laws that are now in effect in San Diego.

0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:24.120
<v Speaker 3>And this is as tough as you can get on

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:28.000
<v Speaker 3>e bike laws in a local municipality. You can ban

0:34:28.200 --> 0:34:33.000
<v Speaker 3>them for kids under twelve. Great state law says you

0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:38.480
<v Speaker 3>cannot go any further than that. So thanks Gavin for more.

0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 3>Here is CBS eight And the new.

0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 15>Law was passed by the city council in June. A

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:45.920
<v Speaker 15>city leaders wanting to give parents some times to get

0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 15>used to this new law to teach their kids about it.

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:49.880
<v Speaker 3>And if you bought your an eleven year old and

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:53.640
<v Speaker 3>e bike, you should be going to family services.

0:34:55.760 --> 0:34:58.440
<v Speaker 15>The biggest change is that you're now going to have

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:00.839
<v Speaker 15>to be at least twelve years old to ride an

0:35:00.840 --> 0:35:01.239
<v Speaker 15>e bike.

0:35:01.600 --> 0:35:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Mind you, most of the little bastards out there are

0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:06.960
<v Speaker 3>between twelve and seventeen causing all the destruction.

0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 5>It's no secret that e bike safety has become a

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:16.160
<v Speaker 5>growing concern in neighborhoods across our city, with young children

0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:19.400
<v Speaker 5>doing wheelies on busy streets and it's demanded our action.

0:35:19.920 --> 0:35:23.160
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes they call themselves the bumper boys, where they film

0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:25.320
<v Speaker 3>themselves crashing into people.

0:35:26.360 --> 0:35:29.320
<v Speaker 1>What is it that parents are doing that's so important

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:32.720
<v Speaker 1>where they're willing to buy their kids an e bike

0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 1>where they know their kid might kill themselves and someone

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 1>else just to get them out of their hair.

0:35:39.480 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Rules, Well, if they don't do that, they might have

0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 3>to actually talk to them.

0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:47.600
<v Speaker 15>It's for e bikes in San Diego will take effect Thursday.

0:35:47.760 --> 0:35:50.640
<v Speaker 15>All e bike riders must be at least twelve years old.

0:35:50.880 --> 0:35:53.120
<v Speaker 15>To run a Class three e bike, one of the

0:35:53.160 --> 0:35:55.400
<v Speaker 15>faster ones, you have to be at least sixteen.

0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:59.120
<v Speaker 3>Our goal is safety, and the question is who's actually

0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:00.239
<v Speaker 3>going to enforce that?

0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:05.759
<v Speaker 1>How would you like to be the cops? And you

0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:08.279
<v Speaker 1>have people who live in the community who are going

0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:10.960
<v Speaker 1>nuts over these things because they're getting run over right

0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:14.839
<v Speaker 1>and left. And you don't know how old a kid is.

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, some kids look like they're eighteen by the

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:21.680
<v Speaker 1>time they're fourteen, and some kids when I was eighteen,

0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I still looked like I was twelve.

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:27.520
<v Speaker 3>You didn't have the facial hair. People would still think

0:36:27.560 --> 0:36:28.320
<v Speaker 3>you're underage.

0:36:29.400 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 11>Education and protecting our kids, it's not about writing tickets.

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:36.600
<v Speaker 3>The popularity of e bikes has continued to increase over

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:39.920
<v Speaker 3>the past few years, and we get it. They're fun,

0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:48.520
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, so's cocaine. Doesn't mean it's a good idea.

0:36:48.680 --> 0:36:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Safety is more important than having fun.

0:36:51.400 --> 0:36:54.000
<v Speaker 15>Passengers are not allowed on e bikes unless the bike

0:36:54.040 --> 0:36:58.160
<v Speaker 15>has a permanent manufacturer installed second seat. Kids are also

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:00.799
<v Speaker 15>required to wear a helmet. Law comes at a.

0:37:00.760 --> 0:37:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Time, and this is another thing that really needs to

0:37:04.120 --> 0:37:06.560
<v Speaker 3>be more discussed because the injuries of these things are

0:37:06.600 --> 0:37:10.200
<v Speaker 3>getting so gruesome. Children's hospitals have seen a massive spike

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:14.239
<v Speaker 3>in er visits because of this. The standard helmet that

0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 3>you buy for like a regular Shwin bicycle is not

0:37:18.280 --> 0:37:20.160
<v Speaker 3>going to do a damn thing when you get into

0:37:20.200 --> 0:37:22.799
<v Speaker 3>an accident. At thirty forty to fifty miles an hour,

0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:26.880
<v Speaker 3>you need to mandate motorcycle helmets. Of course, most of

0:37:26.920 --> 0:37:29.280
<v Speaker 3>these dumbasses aren't even riding regular helmets.

0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:33.600
<v Speaker 15>And when Rady Children's Hospital says it sees a growing

0:37:33.680 --> 0:37:37.840
<v Speaker 15>number of kids suffering serious traumatic injuries from e bike crashes.

0:37:38.160 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 9>Last year, we had two hundred and sixty two e

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:44.520
<v Speaker 9>bike injuries elevated to the trauma level. There's many, many

0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:47.719
<v Speaker 9>more that went to our emergency room. And then this year,

0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:50.360
<v Speaker 9>up until May, we've already had ninety six.

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:51.360
<v Speaker 15>Flri lynn is an injury.

0:37:51.400 --> 0:37:56.200
<v Speaker 1>It's growing, Yeah, because if you're going fifty miles an hour,

0:37:56.560 --> 0:38:00.319
<v Speaker 1>you are more akin to a motorcycle than you are

0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:02.280
<v Speaker 1>to an actual normal bike.

0:38:03.239 --> 0:38:06.840
<v Speaker 15>Reprevention manager at Rady's, she says eighty seven percent of

0:38:06.920 --> 0:38:10.800
<v Speaker 15>patients are boys, usually between the ages of nine and thirteen.

0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:12.680
<v Speaker 5>She says speed is.

0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:13.480
<v Speaker 15>A big issue.

0:38:13.600 --> 0:38:17.600
<v Speaker 9>We see a lot of jaws being broken because they

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:20.160
<v Speaker 9>hit their faces, and then a lot of TBI is

0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:21.560
<v Speaker 9>because they're not wearing the right helmet.

0:38:21.760 --> 0:38:22.240
<v Speaker 5>She warns.

0:38:22.239 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 15>Social media may also be feeled.

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 3>See, we don't even need youth football anymore. All the

0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:28.719
<v Speaker 3>kids are going to get brain dead just from this.

0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, how many videos have they shown in this report

0:38:33.239 --> 0:38:37.440
<v Speaker 1>of them on freeways or city streets, not in bike lanes.

0:38:38.239 --> 0:38:41.759
<v Speaker 15>Yepling risky e bike behavior among kids.

0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:45.040
<v Speaker 9>I do think there's a huge social media aspect to this.

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:49.640
<v Speaker 9>There you do it, you get lots of bikes, you

0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:53.040
<v Speaker 9>get lots of attention, and that's what kids, that's what

0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:56.560
<v Speaker 9>student young people crave. They crave that respect and attention.

0:38:58.560 --> 0:38:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Right I should.

0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:02.359
<v Speaker 1>That's going to do it for us today. If you're
