Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty the Bill Handle
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio f.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Bill Handle here on a Tuesday morning, June tenth.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Some of the stories we're looking at, well, Robert Kennedy
dismissed the entire panel of vaccine advisors that guides the
CDC on the vaccine schedule and required coverage of immunization.
Why not sure, even though he promised he wouldn't do it.
Go figure that one out. And then we're also, oh,
(00:36):
in Austria, ten people been killed in a school shooting,
including the shooter. So we don't know. We don't have
much more information on that right now. They're looking at
a former student of the school. Time for Rich to morrow,
Our tech guy. Rich is seen every day on KTLA TV.
(00:57):
Every Saturday. He's here eleven am to two on the
rich on Tech Show and Instagram at rich on Tech website,
rich on Tech dot tv. Rich at some point, you're
going to be changing your name to rich on Tech
you're legal?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Well I think that. Yeah, a lot of people sort
of know me by that name anyway, But I like
my real name too, so we'll stick to both for now.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Okay, fair enough, de bureau. Why not?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
All right, A couple things that I want to talk about,
and that is you attended Apple's event, and we really
don't know much about it. We don't know enough about
it in advance because they're pretty good about hiding what
they're going to talk about, aren't they.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, they're pretty good about it. There are some rumors,
but yeah, this is their Worldwide Developers Conference that it's
happening this week, and I was there yesterday for the
main keynote, which is where they kind of give you
all the updates on the software that's coming soon. Would
you like me to talk about the iPhone first? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I said what everybody has and that's what I have.
I still want all how to work it?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah, go ahead, Yeah, I mean, this is a big
part of Apple's business, the largest part of Apple's business,
and they are number one. They're changing sort of the
naming convention of all of their software. So instead of
iOS nineteen coming out in the fall, it is going
to be called iOS twenty six. Similar to the way
that the car company is named cars. You know, the
(02:24):
current model year is named the next year. So that's
what's going to happen. Just to make it easier for
people to understand. Okay, I'm running iOS twenty six. That's
from the year twenty twenty sticks and don't forget the
software comes out initially in September, but then new features
trickle out throughout the year. So I think it's smart
that they put the next year. So that's number one
(02:44):
now in iOS, the big feature. So of course everyone's
going all in on AI right now. Apple has had
some setbacks with AI. They're not where they wanted to be.
They're trying to come up with this smarter serie that
can look into your email and your messages and your photos.
That's not happening. They said. That's basically delayed for up
to another year, which is pretty wild given the advancements
(03:08):
we've seen from Chat, SHEVT and Gemini. So what do
we get on the iPhone? We get a whole new
look and feel called Liquid Glass. I went hands on
with it yesterday in a demo and it looks cool.
It looks different, think translucent, much more bubbly, almost like
water on glass. Everything looks like a pane of glass,
so a lot more sea through stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And hold on a minute, I'm a little confused.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Here are you talking about the not the body of
the phone. You're talking about the screen or the entire body.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Yeah, so it's a screen. But it's interesting that you
say that because if you think about the iPhone, what
is it at a tar? It's just a slab of glass.
And so I think they're really playing upon that idea
that this thing can become anything. And now everything is
sort of a sheet of glass on top of the glass.
So your log screen when you slide it up, it's
sort of like sea through notifications, see through your apt icons,
(04:02):
see through menus, see through. So some people are saying
it's too see through. It might get annoying, but again,
this is a whole new look and feel. Apple says
it's the first the biggest redesign about a decade when
it comes to actual new features, and it's sort of
light on the new features. I mean, there's little improvements
here and there, but I think people will be most
impressed or most happy with the new call features. It's
(04:25):
going to screen for scam call. So if someone calls
you that you don't know, it's going to ask them, hey,
why are you calling, and it's going to put that
information on your screen. And then it's going to ring
your phone with that information. It'll be like, hey, it's
Sandy from the furniture company. We're outside trying to deliver
your couch. Okay, you pick up the phone. You let
them in. Same thing with your messages. And also they
(04:46):
have whole thesist, which means if you're on with an
airline or your utility company, it here's that whole music.
It will say, hey, do you want us to hold
for you? And then we'll ring your phone when someone
picks up.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Oh, that's kind of neat. I know, is that work?
I mean thatt Worth eleven or twelve hundred dollars?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I don't know, but is anything? And how much is
this puppy? By the way, this doe Well.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So at WWDC they do not show off the new phones.
In fact, there was no new hardware whatsoever at this
year's event. It was all software based. Some might say
it was a little underwhelming, given, like I said earlier,
all of the strides we've seen with Gemini and with
Chat GBT and Apple really had almost nothing to say
(05:29):
about AI in this presentation. Of course, Apple continues to
build their AI, which they call Apple Intelligence, but again,
this is really focused on sort of the features of
the software. I'm trying to think of some other things
that people might like in this new iOS. You know,
messages is going to get backgrounds which people might like.
(05:50):
There's live translation, which if you do speak with someone
in a different language, it will have live translation on
both your phone calls, on your I message and also
your FaceTime calls. So that was really an interesting demo
where someone was speaking a different language on FaceTime and
in real time you share you see the translation of
(06:11):
what they're saying on screen, which was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
All right, take a break.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
We'll come back because I have a few other things,
some iPad news and the Nintendo's switch to which you tried,
and we'll get a review there. This is KFI. It
is a Tuesday morning, June tenth. Back we go more
with Richard Moreau, kfi's tech guy, also the KTLA tech
guy I've seen every day on TV at KTLA.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Rich moving on the iPad.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Now, I happen to have an iPad, I have my phone,
I have my iPad, and I really don't use a
computer that much, even though I'm looking at one now
in the morning. I do tell me what's new about
the iPad and do I get one another one?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Well, this is the beauty of it. You actually don't
need a new iPad. And Apple has done something that
people have been talking about for years, something Steve Jobs
did not want to do, and that is to turn
the iPad into sort of a desktop computer. How are
they doing it, Well, they're adding Windows, so not the software.
But now, if you've ever used an iPad, which many
(07:18):
people have, you know that you open an app and
then you go to the other app, and then you
go back to that app, and then you go to
that app. Well, now with Windows, each app is in
its own window, just like a Windows computer, where you
can minimize, you can resize, you can float, you can
have multiple windows on the screen. And there's also support
for a new mouse pointer and a new menu bar.
(07:39):
And so basically they have now given people the option
of do you want to use our laptops, our Mac desktops,
or do you want to use an iPad that can
do a lot of the same things that you can
do on a desktop computer. That's coming soon in the
new software called iPad OS twenty six, and I.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Just put it on my existing iPad. It's just software update.
Or I have to buy a new one.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah it's gonna work. Yeah, it's gonna work on you know,
pretty much the whole range of iPads, from the Mini
to the Pro, obviously depending on the model number. You know,
how old these things are. I imagine it takes a
lot of horsepower to run this software, because yesterday when
I was getting a demo of it, you know, they
had the latest, greatest iPad, and you know, it was
not slow, but it definitely takes much more horsepower than
(08:25):
what they've been doing in the past. So I think
you'll need a modern iPad to do that. But I
think for a lot of people that have been sort
of riding this line of do I want an iPad
that can do fun stuff like watch Netflix? Or do
I on a computer that can do important stuff like
check my email? Now you have the best of both
worlds built into one device that can do it all
pretty much. And it's touchscreen, which is nice.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
All right. The Nintendo switch to let's talk about that.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Now. I'm not a big gaming person, but it is well,
obviously it's a multi trillion dollar business and my daughter
is into it big time.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
So you tried it, tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, I mean, I've got a review unit from Nintendo.
It's brand new. It's the first kind of update in
eight years from Nintendo, the first new device, fully new device,
and everything has improved. So it's bigger, the screen looks better,
the controllers have this new magnetic mechanism that helps them
snap into place much easier than the old way. The games.
(09:26):
Oh my gosh, Bill, it used to be if you
had a family of kids that were trying to share
games on the Nintendo Switch, it was a pain. Now
Nintendo has taken that customer feedback. They have made changing
games and swapping games with friends and families playing the
same game so much easier, which I think is probably
one of the best new features. And then they've given
kids the ability to chat with their friends inside the games.
(09:50):
So I think Nintendo realized that a lot of kids
are already playing this way. They're playing on their computer
with FaceTime next to them with their friends, or they're
on Twitch live streaming with their So now on the
switch built in is a microphone. You press a button
and next thing you know, you can chat with your
friends while you're playing the game, like voice chat with
your friends, and optionally you can add a camera. Now,
(10:13):
this is expensive. It's four hundred and fifty dollars for
the console. It's five hundred dollars if you get the
new Mario Kart racing game. I do not expect any
price drops before the holidays, and when it comes to
easy to get a hit or missed if you if
you put your mind to it, you'll probably be able
to get one of these. But I don't think it's
as easy as walking into a store right now just yet.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Okay, so when you say five hundred dollars for the
Mario package, that's not five hundred dollars additional. It's just
incremental from what four fifty to five hundred.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yes? Except the game. If you bought it by itself games,
you're running now about eighty dollars, so you're paying only
fifty more dollars instead of eighty more dollars. So if
you're going to play the Mario Kart game, you probably
want to go with the bundle because if you sit
there and say, oh, just buy the game later, well,
now you're spending an extra thirty dollars. And by the way,
eighty dollars games. I mean this is this is a
(11:07):
pretty big kind of jump in price increase for the
Nintendo Switch games, which used to be you know, anywhere
from forty to sixty dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, let me ask you a question rich about the
entire industry gaming and apps and of course new technology.
The ten major apps that have come out in the
last two three years, for example, where the creators have
become literally billionaires.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Have any of them gotten their driver's license?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yet?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It's funny you say that. I interviewed remember that that
app watch Duty that everyone was using or in the fires? Yes, okay,
so it was given everyone like the updates and like
you know where the fires were. I interviewed the creator
of that app yesterday and he walks into the room.
I said, he's this young kid, and I was like,
I would have thought you were like ten times older
(11:58):
than you are right now. I don't know why. I
just thought, like fire app, you know, you had all this,
you know, you were like an old school like firefighter
or something. And no, the guy is just like a
startup kid. He is like a young guy and he's like, well,
thank you, but yes, a lot of these people and
I interviewed a student that wrote an app yesterday. I mean,
you know, look, the beauty of writing an app is
that anyone can do it. If you learn how to
(12:20):
do it, you can write an app. And yes, there
have been many people that have been made millionaires from
just coming up with a good idea and selling it,
which I still love. I love that idea that people
can't do that.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
All right, Rich, Well, catch a Saturday here eleven am
to two pm KTLA every day Instagram at rich On
Tech website, rich ontech Dot TV. Catch over the weekend,
rich and then of course next week right.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Here, have a good day you too, all right?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Now, coming up an article that was written by a
sociologist in the New York Times, and she went to
a county in eastern Kentucky, very conservative county to see
how the support for Donald Trump was. When the people
(13:05):
in this county are going to be the most affected
by the cuts, does it change the support? Interestingly enough,
I'll share that story with you when we come back.
Handle here and the Morning crew on a Tuesday morning, June.
The tenth couple of stories that we are following. First
of all, Robert Kennedy Junior dismissed the entire panel of
(13:29):
vaccine advisors that guide the CDC in terms of scheduling
vaccines and required coverage, just after he promised he wouldn't
do it during his confirmation hearings.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Just straight out of course, why not?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And at this one, Harvard University has a sort of
a kind of win. The State Department has ordered diplomatic
polks around the world to resume processing Harvard University student
in exchange visitor visas. The courts court came down and
said you can't. You can't deny visas student visas right
now temporarily, So.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's a win.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I want to share with you an article that was
written in the New York Times. Why this woman, Arley
Russell Hofschild. She's a sociologist and spent seven years in
eastern Kentucky getting to know the people for her book
Stolen Pride. Now, let me give you a little bit
of stats about the fifth Congressional District. In the twenty
(14:33):
twenty four election, eighty one percent of Kentucky's fifth Congressional district,
which happens to be the whitest and the third poorest
district in the United States, voted for Donald Trump. No
surprise there. I mean eighty one percent. Now, this area
once was full of Democrats. It was a Democratic bastion,
(14:55):
New Deal Democrats, Franklin Roosevelt's Democratic Party Democrats, where you
had a very poor, poor part of this entire world,
for example of the Tennessee Valley Authority didn't have this
whole area didn't have electricity until the thirties when Roosevelt
put this in and once full of these Democrats, the
(15:18):
region has suffered incredible losses. And during World War one
and two, this was the coal region of the US,
and this was black gold that was dug out of
the mountains and it fed industrial America. Then the coal
mines closed, the drug crisis kept in. The Democrats who
(15:39):
came into power did their utmost to kill coal and
succeeded for the most part, because well, coal is that
bad for the environment. It's the worst fuel you can burn.
And look at the climate change, look at climate change.
It's bad stuff except for the people who mine it.
(16:01):
In Kentucky any way, it used to be that I
don't know how many hundreds of thousands or in the
millions mine coal, and I think now the number of
people who actually mining coal are under seventy five thousand
in the entire state. And so what President Trump did,
then Candidate Trump is come to this area. And this
(16:22):
is the part that is absolutely chilling to me. And
I had a very rough time with this statement. Trump
talked about stolen pride, and he said, with the fall
of coal and American manufacturing, you lost your pride. Others
stole it from you, just like they stole the twenty
(16:43):
twenty election. And these people who stole the election still
want more. They want your guns, they want your families,
they want your way of life.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
And I'll take.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Revenge on them on the pet eating immigrants, uppitty women,
spying international students, idole government workers, and the institutions behind them.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
The university is, the mainstream press, the judiciary, the deep state.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Now I don't know whether she is quoting Trump and
its extrapolation of what he has said, but I have
heard bits and pieces of all of that, and frankly,
I've got to tell you this philosophy, and it's a
(17:29):
populist philosophy where not only am I on your side,
as any leader said, but being on your side is
I and you have to be against them. They are
destroying you. I'm your savior. They want to take away
your rights, they want to ruin your life, and they
(17:49):
have been look at the problems you have, it's their fault.
And I am going to rescue you from them. And
them being the government, the deep state, them being the
international students, the institutions, the universities, the mainstream press, is
(18:11):
part of taking away your freedom, your life.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
That judiciary.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Look at the judges that rule against the Trump administration,
the death threats that come to them, the non acceptance that, Okay,
the justices I don't agree with, but that's the American
justice system.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
And you hear that when people lose.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I disagree with what the jury said, I disagree with
what the justice said.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
But this is America and that's how this works. You
don't hear that.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And I'll tell you when I looked at this, and
I am not accusing Donald Trump of being an anti Semite.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
He is not.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
He's the farthest thing from an anti I'll tell you
that right now. But when I read this, and I
look at this, and then I'm going to go in
and talk about why he is so successful in Kentucky,
where they're going to get nailed the most of anybody
else in the country with the cuts, and they're still
supporting him. And I'll explain why. But I'll tell you
(19:19):
what really struck me. And if it wasn't from Donald Trump,
if it were anybody else other than Donald Trump, who,
as I said, is not anti Semitic at all, when
he said, you lost your pride, others stole it from you,
just as they stole the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
But they want more.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
They want your guns, they want your families, they want
your way of life. I'll take revenge on them.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I will. I will stop.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
These institutions from ruining your life, the universities, the mainstream press,
the judiciary, the deep state. There's only one group of
people left out. This is what my grandparents heard in
the twenties in Europe. And again, I want to make
(20:11):
it crystal clear that I'm not accusing Donald Trump of
any kind of anti Jewish sentiment.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
He's the other way.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
But if you're reading about this and you happen to
be a Jew and you read this in a.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Vacuum, my god, that's scary.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
All right, I'm want to take a break and come
back and then dive into the politics of this.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
How is it possible that the people.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Of Kentucky's fifth district, who voted eighty one percent for
Donald Trump and are going to be nailed the worst in.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
The country by the cuts that are coming.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Are not only still in favor of the Trump presidency,
but more so than ever. And I guess I understand it.
Certainly this author is starting to understand it. I'll come
back and finish this one up. Bill handle last segment
of the show on a Tuesday morning, which means I
(21:10):
will be taking phone calls right after the show a
few minutes afterwards for marginal legal advice.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
This is what I do off the air every Tuesday
and Thursday.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
And you can call and ask me a question or
two and I'll give you an answer or too. And
the number is eight seven seven five to zero eleven
fifty eight seven seven five to zero eleven fifty. Now
I want to finish up talking about this article that
was written by this sociologist who spent seven.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Years getting to know people in Eastern Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Specifically the fifth congressional district in Eastern Kentucky, eighty one
percent voted for Donald Trump, no surprise, and it's the
whitest and third poorest district in the country. And how
is it possible that number one, they've voted for Donald Trump. Well,
that's easy because he was able to capture their Actually,
(22:10):
I want him to say, inability to hear what the
Democrats had to say. It's the Democrats didn't listen to them.
The Democratic Party does not reach into this part of
Kentucky or other parts of the South, even though program
wise it does.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's really interesting stuff, it really is.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
So we're now into the first months of the second
term and the story that Trump gives of loss of shame,
of blame, of retribution, which is part and parcel of
how he got elected because he told people in the
South saying they don't care about you Democrats, which by
the way, I think has validity.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
They're ignoring who you are.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
They think illegal migrants are more important than you are.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And you can, let me tell you something. There's an
argument there, and it's a good one.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
But here is what the problem is, if you want
to call it a problem.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
These people.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
These folks are going to lose the most under the
Trump program. Tariffs are going to rise, prices they don't
have the money to pay additional prices.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
They're poor. Budget cuts are going to hit them the hardest.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Meals on wheels, heating cost assistance, black lung screening, all cut,
all cut. More than forty percent of the people in
the district rely on Medicaid for medical care. Well, look
at the big beautiful bill that's going to cut benefits
(23:55):
and they still vote for President Trump and go, how
is that possible? First of all, the angry tone, the
talking about scum and how the judges are horrible, and
how everybody's getting in the way. Who is getting in
the way of his agenda? Oh, that's how he talks.
People know he talks that way. I wouldn't talk that way.
(24:16):
I don't like it, but I'm glad I voted for him.
And as far as this is the one that really
floors me, as far as the likely cuts to medicate,
snap food stamps, meals on wheels, what's being heard is
we know to how to take a little pain.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
We're Appalachians.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
People may have to suffer now to help make America
great later. We know we're going to pay more prices,
but we also know America will be great again. And
I guess a good majority are prepared to lose their
jobs and have their kids suffer. I don't get it.
(24:57):
I don't understand that. I really don't. I agree that
the Democrats, the Democratic Party has lost it completely and
didn't connect with these people at all. But really, all right,
I'm sure we'll do more of that throughout the next days, weeks, months.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I'm out of here. Just a quick word about tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
And that is we start again five am with Will
and Amy wake up call, Neil and I come aboard,
and then there's of course Cono and and are here,
and I'm taking phone calls for Handle on the Law
off the air starting in just the moment or two.
The numbers eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty
eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty no breaks,
(25:43):
no weather, no traffic, no commercials, no patients, So we
go through them pretty quickly. This is oh and Gary
and Shannon are upt next. You don't want to miss that.

You're listening to KFI AM six forty the Bill Handle
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio f.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Bill Handle here on a Tuesday morning, June tenth.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Some of the stories we're looking at, well, Robert Kennedy
dismissed the entire panel of vaccine advisors that guides the
CDC on the vaccine schedule and required coverage of immunization.
Why not sure, even though he promised he wouldn't do it.
Go figure that one out. And then we're also, oh,
(00:36):
in Austria, ten people been killed in a school shooting,
including the shooter. So we don't know. We don't have
much more information on that right now. They're looking at
a former student of the school. Time for Rich to morrow,
Our tech guy. Rich is seen every day on KTLA TV.
(00:57):
Every Saturday. He's here eleven am to two on the
rich on Tech Show and Instagram at rich on Tech website,
rich on Tech dot tv. Rich at some point, you're
going to be changing your name to rich on Tech
you're legal?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Well I think that. Yeah, a lot of people sort
of know me by that name anyway, But I like
my real name too, so we'll stick to both for now.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Okay, fair enough, de bureau. Why not?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
All right, A couple things that I want to talk about,
and that is you attended Apple's event, and we really
don't know much about it. We don't know enough about
it in advance because they're pretty good about hiding what
they're going to talk about, aren't they.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, they're pretty good about it. There are some rumors,
but yeah, this is their Worldwide Developers Conference that it's
happening this week, and I was there yesterday for the
main keynote, which is where they kind of give you
all the updates on the software that's coming soon. Would
you like me to talk about the iPhone first? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I said what everybody has and that's what I have.
I still want all how to work it?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah, go ahead, Yeah, I mean, this is a big
part of Apple's business, the largest part of Apple's business,
and they are number one. They're changing sort of the
naming convention of all of their software. So instead of
iOS nineteen coming out in the fall, it is going
to be called iOS twenty six. Similar to the way
that the car company is named cars. You know, the
(02:24):
current model year is named the next year. So that's
what's going to happen. Just to make it easier for
people to understand. Okay, I'm running iOS twenty six. That's
from the year twenty twenty sticks and don't forget the
software comes out initially in September, but then new features
trickle out throughout the year. So I think it's smart
that they put the next year. So that's number one
(02:44):
now in iOS, the big feature. So of course everyone's
going all in on AI right now. Apple has had
some setbacks with AI. They're not where they wanted to be.
They're trying to come up with this smarter serie that
can look into your email and your messages and your photos.
That's not happening. They said. That's basically delayed for up
to another year, which is pretty wild given the advancements
(03:08):
we've seen from Chat, SHEVT and Gemini. So what do
we get on the iPhone? We get a whole new
look and feel called Liquid Glass. I went hands on
with it yesterday in a demo and it looks cool.
It looks different, think translucent, much more bubbly, almost like
water on glass. Everything looks like a pane of glass,
so a lot more sea through stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And hold on a minute, I'm a little confused.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Here are you talking about the not the body of
the phone. You're talking about the screen or the entire body.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Yeah, so it's a screen. But it's interesting that you
say that because if you think about the iPhone, what
is it at a tar? It's just a slab of glass.
And so I think they're really playing upon that idea
that this thing can become anything. And now everything is
sort of a sheet of glass on top of the glass.
So your log screen when you slide it up, it's
sort of like sea through notifications, see through your apt icons,
(04:02):
see through menus, see through. So some people are saying
it's too see through. It might get annoying, but again,
this is a whole new look and feel. Apple says
it's the first the biggest redesign about a decade when
it comes to actual new features, and it's sort of
light on the new features. I mean, there's little improvements
here and there, but I think people will be most
impressed or most happy with the new call features. It's
(04:25):
going to screen for scam call. So if someone calls
you that you don't know, it's going to ask them, hey,
why are you calling, and it's going to put that
information on your screen. And then it's going to ring
your phone with that information. It'll be like, hey, it's
Sandy from the furniture company. We're outside trying to deliver
your couch. Okay, you pick up the phone. You let
them in. Same thing with your messages. And also they
(04:46):
have whole thesist, which means if you're on with an
airline or your utility company, it here's that whole music.
It will say, hey, do you want us to hold
for you? And then we'll ring your phone when someone
picks up.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Oh, that's kind of neat. I know, is that work?
I mean thatt Worth eleven or twelve hundred dollars?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I don't know, but is anything? And how much is
this puppy? By the way, this doe Well.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So at WWDC they do not show off the new phones.
In fact, there was no new hardware whatsoever at this
year's event. It was all software based. Some might say
it was a little underwhelming, given, like I said earlier,
all of the strides we've seen with Gemini and with
Chat GBT and Apple really had almost nothing to say
(05:29):
about AI in this presentation. Of course, Apple continues to
build their AI, which they call Apple Intelligence, but again,
this is really focused on sort of the features of
the software. I'm trying to think of some other things
that people might like in this new iOS. You know,
messages is going to get backgrounds which people might like.
(05:50):
There's live translation, which if you do speak with someone
in a different language, it will have live translation on
both your phone calls, on your I message and also
your FaceTime calls. So that was really an interesting demo
where someone was speaking a different language on FaceTime and
in real time you share you see the translation of
(06:11):
what they're saying on screen, which was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
All right, take a break.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
We'll come back because I have a few other things,
some iPad news and the Nintendo's switch to which you tried,
and we'll get a review there. This is KFI. It
is a Tuesday morning, June tenth. Back we go more
with Richard Moreau, kfi's tech guy, also the KTLA tech
guy I've seen every day on TV at KTLA.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Rich moving on the iPad.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Now, I happen to have an iPad, I have my phone,
I have my iPad, and I really don't use a
computer that much, even though I'm looking at one now
in the morning. I do tell me what's new about
the iPad and do I get one another one?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Well, this is the beauty of it. You actually don't
need a new iPad. And Apple has done something that
people have been talking about for years, something Steve Jobs
did not want to do, and that is to turn
the iPad into sort of a desktop computer. How are
they doing it, Well, they're adding Windows, so not the software.
But now, if you've ever used an iPad, which many
(07:18):
people have, you know that you open an app and
then you go to the other app, and then you
go back to that app, and then you go to
that app. Well, now with Windows, each app is in
its own window, just like a Windows computer, where you
can minimize, you can resize, you can float, you can
have multiple windows on the screen. And there's also support
for a new mouse pointer and a new menu bar.
(07:39):
And so basically they have now given people the option
of do you want to use our laptops, our Mac desktops,
or do you want to use an iPad that can
do a lot of the same things that you can
do on a desktop computer. That's coming soon in the
new software called iPad OS twenty six, and I.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Just put it on my existing iPad. It's just software update.
Or I have to buy a new one.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah it's gonna work. Yeah, it's gonna work on you know,
pretty much the whole range of iPads, from the Mini
to the Pro, obviously depending on the model number. You know,
how old these things are. I imagine it takes a
lot of horsepower to run this software, because yesterday when
I was getting a demo of it, you know, they
had the latest, greatest iPad, and you know, it was
not slow, but it definitely takes much more horsepower than
(08:25):
what they've been doing in the past. So I think
you'll need a modern iPad to do that. But I
think for a lot of people that have been sort
of riding this line of do I want an iPad
that can do fun stuff like watch Netflix? Or do
I on a computer that can do important stuff like
check my email? Now you have the best of both
worlds built into one device that can do it all
pretty much. And it's touchscreen, which is nice.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
All right. The Nintendo switch to let's talk about that.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Now. I'm not a big gaming person, but it is well,
obviously it's a multi trillion dollar business and my daughter
is into it big time.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
So you tried it, tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, I mean, I've got a review unit from Nintendo.
It's brand new. It's the first kind of update in
eight years from Nintendo, the first new device, fully new device,
and everything has improved. So it's bigger, the screen looks better,
the controllers have this new magnetic mechanism that helps them
snap into place much easier than the old way. The games.
(09:26):
Oh my gosh, Bill, it used to be if you
had a family of kids that were trying to share
games on the Nintendo Switch, it was a pain. Now
Nintendo has taken that customer feedback. They have made changing
games and swapping games with friends and families playing the
same game so much easier, which I think is probably
one of the best new features. And then they've given
kids the ability to chat with their friends inside the games.
(09:50):
So I think Nintendo realized that a lot of kids
are already playing this way. They're playing on their computer
with FaceTime next to them with their friends, or they're
on Twitch live streaming with their So now on the
switch built in is a microphone. You press a button
and next thing you know, you can chat with your
friends while you're playing the game, like voice chat with
your friends, and optionally you can add a camera. Now,
(10:13):
this is expensive. It's four hundred and fifty dollars for
the console. It's five hundred dollars if you get the
new Mario Kart racing game. I do not expect any
price drops before the holidays, and when it comes to
easy to get a hit or missed if you if
you put your mind to it, you'll probably be able
to get one of these. But I don't think it's
as easy as walking into a store right now just yet.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Okay, so when you say five hundred dollars for the
Mario package, that's not five hundred dollars additional. It's just
incremental from what four fifty to five hundred.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yes? Except the game. If you bought it by itself games,
you're running now about eighty dollars, so you're paying only
fifty more dollars instead of eighty more dollars. So if
you're going to play the Mario Kart game, you probably
want to go with the bundle because if you sit
there and say, oh, just buy the game later, well,
now you're spending an extra thirty dollars. And by the way,
eighty dollars games. I mean this is this is a
(11:07):
pretty big kind of jump in price increase for the
Nintendo Switch games, which used to be you know, anywhere
from forty to sixty dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, let me ask you a question rich about the
entire industry gaming and apps and of course new technology.
The ten major apps that have come out in the
last two three years, for example, where the creators have
become literally billionaires.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Have any of them gotten their driver's license?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yet?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It's funny you say that. I interviewed remember that that
app watch Duty that everyone was using or in the fires? Yes, okay,
so it was given everyone like the updates and like
you know where the fires were. I interviewed the creator
of that app yesterday and he walks into the room.
I said, he's this young kid, and I was like,
I would have thought you were like ten times older
(11:58):
than you are right now. I don't know why. I
just thought, like fire app, you know, you had all this,
you know, you were like an old school like firefighter
or something. And no, the guy is just like a
startup kid. He is like a young guy and he's like, well,
thank you, but yes, a lot of these people and
I interviewed a student that wrote an app yesterday. I mean,
you know, look, the beauty of writing an app is
that anyone can do it. If you learn how to
(12:20):
do it, you can write an app. And yes, there
have been many people that have been made millionaires from
just coming up with a good idea and selling it,
which I still love. I love that idea that people
can't do that.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
All right, Rich, Well, catch a Saturday here eleven am
to two pm KTLA every day Instagram at rich On
Tech website, rich ontech Dot TV. Catch over the weekend,
rich and then of course next week right.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Here, have a good day you too, all right?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Now, coming up an article that was written by a
sociologist in the New York Times, and she went to
a county in eastern Kentucky, very conservative county to see
how the support for Donald Trump was. When the people
(13:05):
in this county are going to be the most affected
by the cuts, does it change the support? Interestingly enough,
I'll share that story with you when we come back.
Handle here and the Morning crew on a Tuesday morning, June.
The tenth couple of stories that we are following. First
of all, Robert Kennedy Junior dismissed the entire panel of
(13:29):
vaccine advisors that guide the CDC in terms of scheduling
vaccines and required coverage, just after he promised he wouldn't
do it during his confirmation hearings.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Just straight out of course, why not?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And at this one, Harvard University has a sort of
a kind of win. The State Department has ordered diplomatic
polks around the world to resume processing Harvard University student
in exchange visitor visas. The courts court came down and
said you can't. You can't deny visas student visas right
now temporarily, So.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's a win.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I want to share with you an article that was
written in the New York Times. Why this woman, Arley
Russell Hofschild. She's a sociologist and spent seven years in
eastern Kentucky getting to know the people for her book
Stolen Pride. Now, let me give you a little bit
of stats about the fifth Congressional District. In the twenty
(14:33):
twenty four election, eighty one percent of Kentucky's fifth Congressional district,
which happens to be the whitest and the third poorest
district in the United States, voted for Donald Trump. No
surprise there. I mean eighty one percent. Now, this area
once was full of Democrats. It was a Democratic bastion,
(14:55):
New Deal Democrats, Franklin Roosevelt's Democratic Party Democrats, where you
had a very poor, poor part of this entire world,
for example of the Tennessee Valley Authority didn't have this
whole area didn't have electricity until the thirties when Roosevelt
put this in and once full of these Democrats, the
(15:18):
region has suffered incredible losses. And during World War one
and two, this was the coal region of the US,
and this was black gold that was dug out of
the mountains and it fed industrial America. Then the coal
mines closed, the drug crisis kept in. The Democrats who
(15:39):
came into power did their utmost to kill coal and
succeeded for the most part, because well, coal is that
bad for the environment. It's the worst fuel you can burn.
And look at the climate change, look at climate change.
It's bad stuff except for the people who mine it.
(16:01):
In Kentucky any way, it used to be that I
don't know how many hundreds of thousands or in the
millions mine coal, and I think now the number of
people who actually mining coal are under seventy five thousand
in the entire state. And so what President Trump did,
then Candidate Trump is come to this area. And this
(16:22):
is the part that is absolutely chilling to me. And
I had a very rough time with this statement. Trump
talked about stolen pride, and he said, with the fall
of coal and American manufacturing, you lost your pride. Others
stole it from you, just like they stole the twenty
(16:43):
twenty election. And these people who stole the election still
want more. They want your guns, they want your families,
they want your way of life.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
And I'll take.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Revenge on them on the pet eating immigrants, uppitty women,
spying international students, idole government workers, and the institutions behind them.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
The university is, the mainstream press, the judiciary, the deep state.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Now I don't know whether she is quoting Trump and
its extrapolation of what he has said, but I have
heard bits and pieces of all of that, and frankly,
I've got to tell you this philosophy, and it's a
(17:29):
populist philosophy where not only am I on your side,
as any leader said, but being on your side is
I and you have to be against them. They are
destroying you. I'm your savior. They want to take away
your rights, they want to ruin your life, and they
(17:49):
have been look at the problems you have, it's their fault.
And I am going to rescue you from them. And
them being the government, the deep state, them being the
international students, the institutions, the universities, the mainstream press, is
(18:11):
part of taking away your freedom, your life.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
That judiciary.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Look at the judges that rule against the Trump administration,
the death threats that come to them, the non acceptance that, Okay,
the justices I don't agree with, but that's the American
justice system.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
And you hear that when people lose.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I disagree with what the jury said, I disagree with
what the justice said.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
But this is America and that's how this works. You
don't hear that.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And I'll tell you when I looked at this, and
I am not accusing Donald Trump of being an anti Semite.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
He is not.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
He's the farthest thing from an anti I'll tell you
that right now. But when I read this, and I
look at this, and then I'm going to go in
and talk about why he is so successful in Kentucky,
where they're going to get nailed the most of anybody
else in the country with the cuts, and they're still
supporting him. And I'll explain why. But I'll tell you
(19:19):
what really struck me. And if it wasn't from Donald Trump,
if it were anybody else other than Donald Trump, who,
as I said, is not anti Semitic at all, when
he said, you lost your pride, others stole it from you,
just as they stole the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
But they want more.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
They want your guns, they want your families, they want
your way of life. I'll take revenge on them.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I will. I will stop.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
These institutions from ruining your life, the universities, the mainstream press,
the judiciary, the deep state. There's only one group of
people left out. This is what my grandparents heard in
the twenties in Europe. And again, I want to make
(20:11):
it crystal clear that I'm not accusing Donald Trump of
any kind of anti Jewish sentiment.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
He's the other way.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
But if you're reading about this and you happen to
be a Jew and you read this in a.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Vacuum, my god, that's scary.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
All right, I'm want to take a break and come
back and then dive into the politics of this.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
How is it possible that the people.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Of Kentucky's fifth district, who voted eighty one percent for
Donald Trump and are going to be nailed the worst in.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
The country by the cuts that are coming.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Are not only still in favor of the Trump presidency,
but more so than ever. And I guess I understand it.
Certainly this author is starting to understand it. I'll come
back and finish this one up. Bill handle last segment
of the show on a Tuesday morning, which means I
(21:10):
will be taking phone calls right after the show a
few minutes afterwards for marginal legal advice.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
This is what I do off the air every Tuesday
and Thursday.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
And you can call and ask me a question or
two and I'll give you an answer or too. And
the number is eight seven seven five to zero eleven
fifty eight seven seven five to zero eleven fifty. Now
I want to finish up talking about this article that
was written by this sociologist who spent seven.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Years getting to know people in Eastern Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Specifically the fifth congressional district in Eastern Kentucky, eighty one
percent voted for Donald Trump, no surprise, and it's the
whitest and third poorest district in the country. And how
is it possible that number one, they've voted for Donald Trump. Well,
that's easy because he was able to capture their Actually,
(22:10):
I want him to say, inability to hear what the
Democrats had to say. It's the Democrats didn't listen to them.
The Democratic Party does not reach into this part of
Kentucky or other parts of the South, even though program
wise it does.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's really interesting stuff, it really is.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
So we're now into the first months of the second
term and the story that Trump gives of loss of shame,
of blame, of retribution, which is part and parcel of
how he got elected because he told people in the
South saying they don't care about you Democrats, which by
the way, I think has validity.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
They're ignoring who you are.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
They think illegal migrants are more important than you are.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And you can, let me tell you something. There's an
argument there, and it's a good one.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
But here is what the problem is, if you want
to call it a problem.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
These people.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
These folks are going to lose the most under the
Trump program. Tariffs are going to rise, prices they don't
have the money to pay additional prices.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
They're poor. Budget cuts are going to hit them the hardest.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Meals on wheels, heating cost assistance, black lung screening, all cut,
all cut. More than forty percent of the people in
the district rely on Medicaid for medical care. Well, look
at the big beautiful bill that's going to cut benefits
(23:55):
and they still vote for President Trump and go, how
is that possible? First of all, the angry tone, the
talking about scum and how the judges are horrible, and
how everybody's getting in the way. Who is getting in
the way of his agenda? Oh, that's how he talks.
People know he talks that way. I wouldn't talk that way.
(24:16):
I don't like it, but I'm glad I voted for him.
And as far as this is the one that really
floors me, as far as the likely cuts to medicate,
snap food stamps, meals on wheels, what's being heard is
we know to how to take a little pain.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
We're Appalachians.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
People may have to suffer now to help make America
great later. We know we're going to pay more prices,
but we also know America will be great again. And
I guess a good majority are prepared to lose their
jobs and have their kids suffer. I don't get it.
(24:57):
I don't understand that. I really don't. I agree that
the Democrats, the Democratic Party has lost it completely and
didn't connect with these people at all. But really, all right,
I'm sure we'll do more of that throughout the next days, weeks, months.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I'm out of here. Just a quick word about tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
And that is we start again five am with Will
