Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call
with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
KFI had KOSTHD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Good morning. It's five o'clock straight up. This is your
wake up call for Friday, August twenty ninth. The last
wake up call of August twenty twenty five September is here.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
When did that happen?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Well, it's going to happen in two days, will Yeah,
it's crazy right. Hey, wanted to say thank you to
our friends at Coachella Valley Coffee Company. Cliff sent us
some coffee. Just got it, can't wait to try it,
and a really cool orange orange is my favorite color.
(01:02):
And orange coffee mug too. Yeah, you can go see.
This is an orange one and I have another. This
is a different one, but I got another orange one
to add to my collection.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I would have done about my high school.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
We were orange and white.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah. I love that small batch artisanal coffee.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah that just sounds young, I know, right, Get.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
To support local people. I love that. Thanks Cliff. Here's
what's ahead on this Friday wake up call la Ken
Sheriff's deputies have arrested the twenty year old man suspected
of shooting and killing a thirteen year old boy at
a gas station in Pico Rivera. Andres Chavez was arrested
in Pico Rivera last night and booked on murder charges,
(01:43):
just hours after Sheriff Luna identified Chavez as the man
they were looking for and asked for the public's help
in finding him. Ice Is carried out another raid at
the same home depot in the Westlake District where illegal
immigrants were rounded up three weeks ago. Eight people were
taken into cut to the including three that law enforcement
said had extensive rap sheets. Citing safety concerns, The superintendent
(02:07):
of the Beverly Hills School District has put a pause
on the plan to fly the Israeli flag at all
school campuses for one month every year. The Board of
Education just as week approved the plan to honor Holocaust
victims and the October seventh attacks. Some criticized the move,
saying it appeared to favor just one religion. Okay, so
coming up in just a couple of minutes. Futurist futurist
(02:30):
Kevin Sirelli is going to join us to tell us
about what jobs they're probably going to be safe, and
what jobs are going away thanks to our buddy AI,
and how we get ready as AI takes over more
of our daily lives. I mean, it's like really starting
to get concerning. You're hearing about, Oh, we're saving money
because we're replacing this whole department with AI because it
(02:53):
can do the work. So and the other thing is,
I gotta ask them about this. You can't trust. It's
wrong all the time, and you're really going to put
your financial systems in the hands of AI when it
doesn't get everything right yet. Also, we're going to do
a little window shopping with the host of Home on
KFI are very own, Dean Sharp. He's going to join
(03:15):
us before the bottom of the hour. I'm all shook up.
Austin Butler is back on the big screen. ABC's Willgans
is going to tell us about that, and on the stream,
who done it with two of my favorite actors in
a retirement community. I don't know if it's a comedy
or not. We'll find out from Will. That's coming up
(03:36):
before the end of the show. Also, do you know
the best time to hit the road. If you're headed
out of town for the Labor Day holiday weekend, we'll
tell you specifically when the best time is. That's coming
up on wake up call. Let's get started with some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. Eight people have been detained in an immigration
rate outside of home depot in the Westlake District. The
(03:56):
Department of Homeland Security confirms the raid yesterday. Agents were
seeing using tear gas during the enforcement action. A video
shows unmarked vans driving in the area and then agents
quickly jumping out. It was the third immigration raid in
the same area in the past few months. First one
happened in June, the last one about three weeks ago.
DHS says three of the people arrested have extensive rap sheets.
(04:20):
The White House says ICE is stepping up immigration enforcement
and so called sanctuary cities.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
President Trump's borders are Tom Holman specifically to California's ring.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Let me start that one over again. Sorry about that, my.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
President Trump's borders are Tom Holmans specifically mentioned La, Chicago,
New York, Portland, and Seattle as targets. He says sanctuary
status doesn't mean anything to the president's immigration policies. All
these sanctuaries, cities that refuse to work with lies where
we know public safety threats are being released every day
into this country, especially those cities.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
We're going to address that.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Holman has been critical of la Mayor Bass and Governor Newsome.
He says the president could do a better job at
keeping Californian safe. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
News bro out to you by sitting sleep. Thieves have
again targeted Woodlawn Celestial Gardens Cemetery in Compton. The owner
says about a dozen headstones were stolen recently and several
dozen more were damaged or moved. The owner, Celestina Bishop,
says more than one hundred headstones were stolen from the
property about a year and a half ago too. She
(05:20):
says the thieves are probably stealing them for the bronze
and copper on them. Bishop says it costs about three
thousand dollars and more to replace the headstones, and the
cemetery just doesn't have the money to do it. The
California High Speed Rail authorities announced a plan to speed
up the process of laying the first tracks on the
state's troubled infrastructure project. The board has approved a process
(05:42):
that invites bids from US manufacturers to buy the track
materials and other requirements systems components. The authority says the
process will result in track being laid in twenty twenty six.
Wasn't it supposed to be done by now?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And a lot cheaper.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
California is making a big play to bring productions home.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
California is rolling out its first round of expanded film
and TV tax credits, awarding two hundred and fifty six
million dollars to twenty two productions, including Apple TV's The
Studio and a new Larry David series for HBO.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Kfi's Heather Brooker says. The California Film Commission says the
incentives are projected to spark one point one billion dollars
in economic activity and create thousands of jobs. We'd like
to say good morning now too, futurist Kevin Sirelli. Kevin,
It's Labor Day weekend, so let's talk about labor as
it is now and how it's rapidly changing because of
(06:37):
a I.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, you know, I've got some good news, right, We're
heading into it, hopefully for most folks. With the three
day weekend and a four day work week. There's a
new study out and companies actually looked at how effective
a four day work week overall would be and they
found the surprise of knowing that people were eighteen percent happier.
(06:59):
It cut stress levels by twenty six percent. But here's
the thing that actually jumps out of me. It boosted
the company profits. So for some companies, they're making this permanent.
But the reason we've we've heard about four day work
weeks for a while and several decades, it's always sort
of been in humming in the background. But the reason
I think this is really getting steam right now is twofold.
(07:21):
One artificial intelligence is making for employees to be able
to be more effective, and two, companies need a reason
to get their employees back in the office full time.
And if they're able to kind of use some leverage
with a four day work week, you know, that might
get people's attention.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah. So, Kevin, when they talk about a four day
work week, do they mean a thirty two hour four
day work week or ten hour days.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well, it's a little bit of both, and so it
really depends on the industry. That's a great question though,
and it really depends on the industry, because I think
what you're seeing, especially in certain industries, is well, it
doesn't matter if I'm at the officer at home. You know,
in the email world that we live in, you're always
on the go, you're always responding. But then they also
looked at another study looked at super workers, and so
(08:07):
I don't know if if you and your friends talk
like this, but you're they you know, I think some
have said out AI helps me cheat at this or
cheat at that, and that's really the wrong way to
look at it, because it's actually making employees more effective,
and they're calling these employees super workers. The new star
employees aren't necessarily faster, they're smarter with using artificial intelligence.
(08:28):
They're automating some of the tedious tasks that are focusing
allowing them rather to focus more on strategy. So industries
that are leading into AI are seeing three x revenue
growth and top talent is actually getting a lot more salaries.
So if someone's calling you out for using AI, you're
using AI wrong. But if someone is wondering how you're
(08:49):
getting stuff done so fast and it's still in your voice,
then you're.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Using it right, Okay, And Kevin, what kind of industries
are we talking about that You're saying there's like they're
three times more productive.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, if you look at some of the more creative industries,
if you look at some of the more consulting based industries,
But then if you look at manufacturing specifically with robotics,
you're starting to notice that humans are having to oversee robots.
So I remember a couple of years ago, I got
a tour of a plant in Arizona that was making
semiconductor ships, and I was amazed because I was watching
(09:22):
all of these engineers oversee these robots that were designing
these chips in a secure facility underground. Flash forward to
last week and the Wall Street journals reporting that there's
a seven billion dollar Georgia planet where seven hundred and
fifty robots are doing the heavy lifting. But they're not
necessarily replacing human jobs. Humans are having to still oversee
the robots. Meanwhile, on the entry level job front, the
(09:46):
college kids are cashing in for those who specialize in
artificial intelligence. These AI startups are throwing like two hundred
thousand dollars salaries at them. It's wild.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Okay, So now I have a question for you about
AI specifically because we know that they're doing these menial
tasks and all this stuff. And I we keep talking
with our tech guy about how AI is wrong so much?
Still as it you know it, probably it's going to improve,
But right now it's wrong a lot, and I catch
it all the time and I barely use it. So
(10:14):
are we ready to turn things over to an intelligence
that isn't always that intelligent? No?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And that's a great question. But let's I would ask
you why is the AI wrong so much? Because it's
drawing on the internet. So the source data set, which
we are all accustomed to knowing, don't trust everything you
see online, or don't trust everything you see on the internet.
We were taught that, right, I remember as a kid.
You know you can't trust everything on Wikipedia, for example.
It's not as you know, trust it as the encyclopedia
(10:44):
and whatnot. Well, AI is the data sets are the
lll M models, they're called they're they're drawing from, uh,
from the internet and so and so the source material
is bulletproof and fact checked, then the source set that
they draw from going to be wrong. So that's a
great question, a great call out.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Okay, and so AI takes an enormous amount of power.
What if we don't have the power to supply it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Well. And that's the other thing is that it's just
because you can't see it doesn't mean that the data
sets aren't trawling on electricity. And so these data centers
that are popping up all over the country, I would
argue that this is infrastructure for the future, and so
if you don't have the data centers, you can't do it.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Not all data centers are created equally. I think that
whoever named the term data center did a poor job
calling it data center because in many ways has nothing
to do with what that conjures up with big data
and social media. But really it's more accustomed to refineries
and or some of the electrical power plants. But this
(11:48):
water systems, sewage systems. I mean, this is connectivity infrastructure,
and connectivity infrastructure is going to be vital, especially for
economies advancing into the future, planning for the future. And
I'm not talking about one hundred years now. I'm saying
if you don't have a data center to be able
to leverage artificial intelligence usage, your community is going to
be left behind.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay, So, and the takeaway I'm getting from our conversation
Kevin is if you haven't leaned in yet, it's time
to lean in to AI and learn it because it
can help you get a job, probably a good paying
job as we move forward.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
With all this.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yes, and I have to say that unfortunately I have
a hard out and so I apologize, but I have to.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Hop Okay, thank you, Kevin Sorelli. All right, bye, He's
a man in demand today.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
People are like, what is AI was the future? Here's
my other takeaway. He said that that four day work
week thing, well, next week is a four day work
week for most of us, So eighteen percent of us
are going to be a lot happier. Oh yeah, or
we're going to be eighteen percent happier, one of the two.
But I think that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
For those of us who do have to work, might
be a little richer because of time and a half.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah yeah, uh, what's that? We don't get that here?
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Israel
says the bodies of two hostages have been returned by
Hamas as the military begins its offensive in Gaza City.
The Israeli military has suspended its midday pauses in fighting
(13:20):
that had allowed the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza City,
saying the city is now a dangerous combat zone. Of
the two hundred and fifty one people taken hostage in
October of twenty twenty three, about fifty are still in Gaza,
but only twenty are believed to be alive. The Kremlin
says it's still interested in pursuing peace talks with Ukraine
despite carrying out one of its largest overnight strikes on Kiev.
(13:43):
Ukrainian officials say the attack yesterday killed at least fifteen people,
including four children, in a strike on the capital city
that President Zelenski said was Moscow's answer to diplomatic efforts
to end the war. The families of the four students
murdered by Brian Koberger Idaho have asked a judge not
to release the crime scene photos. They say it would
(14:05):
only victimize them further. The city attorney in Moscow, Ataaho,
says the photos and videos fall under the public records law.
It's now up to a judge to decide. Coburger was
sentenced to life in prison. For the murders. The gun
used during the lynching of fourteen year old Emmett Till
in Mississippi in the nineteen fifties is now on display
for the public to see.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
The Mississippi Department of Archives in History has unveiled the
forty five caliber pistol and its holder. It happened during
a news conference yesterday, which was the seventieth anniversary of
Till's murder. The gun belonged to John William J. W. Minlum, who,
alongside Roy Bryant, abducted Till from his great uncle's home
on August twenty eighth, nineteen fifty five. The white men
(14:45):
tortured and killed Till after the teenager was falsely accused
of whistling at a white woman in a grocery store
in Mississippi. Deborah mark Kff I News.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Have you watched that movie about Mmett Till. It's so
it's just tragic, but I mean, it's a beautifully done movie,
and if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend
that from the Torran's Police Department is on the road
to reform. California Attorney General Rob Bonta released an enforceable
agreement agreement that stems from something that happened four years
(15:15):
ago when two officers painted swastikas on an impounded car.
The five year agreement is aimed at improving the department's
policies and practices, as well as improving accountability. Nineteen Democratic
governors have criticized the Trump administration's plans to deploy National
Guard troops in big cities. In a joint statement yesterday,
the governor's called the efforts an alarming abuse of power.
(15:37):
They claim President Trump is cut funding for law enforcement
and undermined the authority of governors instead of addressing crime.
Ariana Grande is going on tour for the first time
since twenty nineteen. The Eternal Sunshine Tour starts in Oakland
in June of next year. Her tour includes twenty two shows,
including LA Fans have until September seventh to sign up
(16:00):
for ticket pre sales at six oh five. Is handle
all the News? The governor says he's cracking down on crime.
Bill's gonna tell you about that right now. Let's say
good morning to the host of Home on KFI. It's
our very own Dean Sharp morning.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Dean, good morning, Amy.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Let's do a little window shopping. Okay, okay, so you're
gonna be talking about windows this weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
We are. We're going to be talking doors and windows.
I do. I try and get a door and windows
show in every year just because it's just such a
critical part of the house that we dedicate an entire show.
So Sunday I'll be in studio actually with Chris Perez
from American Vision Windows, and he and I are going
to be talking shop the entire time. It's going to
(16:46):
be a great show. And if you don't know enough
about windows, which most homeowners don't, especially if you're in
you know, thinking about like oh yeah, I think we
should replace some, then you should tune in because we're
going to deep dive in to all of the big
decisions that have to be made regarding windows.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I know that my home needs it's windows replaced desperately,
but I don't own the home I'm living in, so
they're not getting replaced.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know what, I find very convenient rocks. Rocks are
a really good way for renters to get their windows replaced.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Nice Dean gonna be funny all of a sudden, and
you know, murders are down and robberies are down, but
there's a huge increase in the number of shattered windows
and homes around Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Thanks Dean, Thanks Dean.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Hey before I want to dive into windows just a
bit more, but I also want to mention the doors
thing and get your take on it, because what I've
noticed just recently I've got friends remodeling homes and building
homes and stuff, is the doors are so cool now,
like they just used to be a front door, but
now it's like the doors almost a work of art.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, front doors have you know, I think
we're kind of in the golden age of doors and
windows architecturally for homes right now. I gotta say, just
because we've really opened ourselves up here in the States.
And I say that because in Europe this has been
a thing for quite a while, and we trail behind
(18:16):
them architecturally when it comes to these features. But we
really have opened ourselves up to all sorts of coolness
when it comes to doors and windows. Yeah, and front doors,
I mean they're a completely different ballgame than even just
fifteen twenty years ago. Now. The big thing which I
love is the single oversized door as opposed to the
(18:41):
double door, because I don't know if you've heard me
say this before, but I have issues with the double
front entry doors just because they make promises they don't
keep the architecturally speaking.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
And the only thing they're good for is getting a couchin.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Well.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah, that's the thing is that most people have a
relatively small entry way right or not a hugeach entryway,
and it's all balanced right so that you've got a
chandelier hanging in your entryway, and it's all centered on
the entryway, centered on those double doors and that whole experience.
But and that would be fine if both of those
doors opened when you walked in, and you walked in
(19:15):
in the middle of your entryway, all aligned with all
of that stuff. But no, no, that one door never opened.
It it opens twice. It opens when you move in
and when you move out, or it maybe when you
get a new refrigerator. Otherwise, what it promises, it doesn't
pay off on because you end up going in the
entryway far left or far right, and it's just not
(19:37):
the same experience. So when replacing those doors, I almost
inevitably always not always, but most of the time, we'll
advise our clients, Hey, let's go for a big, centered
entry door and maybe some sidelights on each side instead
of the double door. And I've never had a client
(19:58):
come back and say, you know what wrong move? No, no, no,
I absolutely love it. And by oversized door, I mean
we can go now forty two inch wide doors, or
if you do a pivot door, we can go up
to five feet wide as an entry door. Just awesome,
awesome stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I think I just saw one of those in a movie.
It was the News, not new, brand new, but it
was like a zach Efron movie and he was some
guy in Hollywood and he had a massive door and
it was like that, just a huge, huge door and
the woman couldn't push it open. It was kind of funny,
but it was It was the first time I'd seen
(20:36):
something that big, but it was very impressive.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yeah, sometimes we called them douchebag doors just because just
because of the clients who specifically order them. But I
think they're cool nonetheless.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
All right, so we're going to talk about doors, and
we're going to talk about windows and all the different
kinds of windows and all of that stuff all week
and long on Home with Dean Sharpest Labor Day weekend,
and it's from six to eight on Saturday morning and
then nine to noon on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
And Sunday is the day you're going to have the
guests in.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, Sunday, Chris Perez from American Vision Windows. They're celebrating
their twenty five year rebirth yet again, they've been so successful,
such a great company, and so we'll have them in
talking about doors and windows with MOI Awesome Soft.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
So you can also follow Dean at home with Dean.
Thank you, Dean Sharp, have a wonderful Labor Day.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Weekend, you too, Amy all right.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Governor Newsom has announced an expansion of a state program
that'll send more police to La the Ie, San Diego
and a couple other places. He says this is different
than what President Trump is doing by sending in the military,
which he says scares people.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
The idea that the military can be out there in
every street corner in the United States of America, that
people that don't look like me, the black and brown
community quite literally feeling like they're racially profiled, scared to death.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
The crime Suppression teams are made up of CHP officers
who work with local police departments in high crime areas.
The Governor says the program has been successful in San Bernardino, Bakersfield,
and Oakland. Officials and activists in Orange County have announced
to first of its kind fund to help illegal immigrant families.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
The Liberty Fund is made up of both public and
private dollars to provide legal representation for people navigating the
immigration court system. The Orange County Register reports the fund
will also be used for things like hotlines for reporting
immigration activities and know your Rights education programs. Orange County
Supervisor Vincent Sarmiento tells the Register the fund will also
(22:37):
work proactively to help families not yet impacted by federal
immigration enforcement. Deborah mark Koffie News a.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Driver who led La Kenny Sheriff's deputies and CHP officers
on a wild, high speed chase has gotten away that
didn't happen that often. The driver was wanted for reckless dui.
He took off during an attempted traffic stop last night.
The driver eventually crashed, ran away from the scene, then
got into another car. That driver also took off at
(23:05):
high speeds, turning off their headlights and going through red lights.
In Inglewood. Police and media helicopters had to pull off
the pursuit after they got into lax airspace, and the
CDC is ending its long running ads that helped scores
of Americans quit smoking. What's called the Tips from Former
Smokers campaign started thirteen years ago. It'll go off the
(23:26):
air at the end of September because of funding cuts.
The campaign has featured people telling their stories about the
negative impact smoking has had on their lives while urging
others to get help quitting. Data shows the campaign led
to millions attempting to quit, while more than a million
people actually did. Okay, you want to know what is
the best time to travel this Labor Day? According to
(23:49):
Triple A, the best time to leave to avoid the
worst traffic is today before noon. I know, we'll keep
saying now now, but today before noon, or if you're
waiting until tomorrow, the best time to leave is between
six and ten am, So don't wait till the afternoon,
it's gonna get nasty, and then all the way back
because you got to come home the way back. The
(24:10):
best times to travel are Sunday before eleven am or
Monday before ten am. I know will want you to
leave now, but those are these are according to Triple A,
So again, If you're getting out of town today, just
leave before noon and tomorrow between six and ten am
best times to go. Here's what's coming out of the
(24:32):
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The White House Borders Are
says immigration actions will be ramped up in sanctuary cities,
including La. Tom Holman did not give specifics of the plan.
ICE has been doing ICE enforcement in La since early June.
Israel has declared Gaz's largest city a dangerous combat zone.
Israel's military has suspended its midday pauses in fighting to
(24:53):
allow food and aid to get into the city. It
also says it has recovered the bodies of two hostages
and vowed that in their military offensive, they'll find and
return more of them. More than fifteen million people are
expected to travel through airports over the Labor Day weekend.
We just talked about the roads, but here's what's up
in the airports. The weekend started yesterday goes through Wednesday.
(25:16):
For air travel, The busiest travel day is expected to
be tomorrow. TSA says this is going to be the
busiest Labor Day travel period on record, with eight and
a half percent more people traveling this year than last.
Here's more stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. The twenty year old suspected of killing a
thirteen year old boy at a gas station and Pico
(25:36):
Rivera has been caught. The Only County Sheriff's department says
Andres Chavez was arrested in Pico Rivera yesterday and booked
on murder charges. He allegedly shot the boy multiple times
late Saturday as the boy waited for his mom to
get off work.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
The mother witnessed everything I just described.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Sheriff Robert Luna had just asked for the public's help
in finding Chavez. A state appeals court has upheld the
conviction of a man for the bludgeoning deaths of his
then estranged wife's two teenage nephews inside the boys' home
in Arcadia. The Yanshie is serving two consecutive life prison
terms without the possibility of parole. Eight people have been
(26:19):
caught in an immigration raid outside a home depot in
LA's Westlake District.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
The Department of Homeland Security confirms the raid took place
on Thursday. A video shows unmarked vans driving in the area,
then agents quickly jumping out and taking people into custody.
Immigration agents were also seen using tear gas during the raid.
This is the third immigration raid in the same area
in the past few months. The DHS says three of
the people who are arrested yesterday have extensive rap sheets.

The Trump administrations investigating the California Environmental Protection Agency. The
investigation includes the California Air Resources Board over alleged unfair
job practices against people based on race, color, sex, or
cry of origin. The DOJ says it's going to look
into any discrimination actions which would violate the Civil Rights Act.
Cal EPA has been criticized by the DOJ for using
(27:10):
protected characteristics in hiring to advance what it calls racial equity.
The Beverly Hills School superintendent has blocked plans to fly
the Israeli flag during Jewish American Heritage Month. Despite a
school board vote in favor of it.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Superintendent Alex Turness overruled the decision, citing safety concerns and
a policy allowing urgent action to prevent disruptions. The resolution,
meant to combat anti Semitism and honor Jewish achievements, drew
debate over whether flying the flag's signaled support for Israel's
government and its war in Gaza.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Okay if, Heather Brooker says. Sureness also said no flags
will be displayed on Beverly Hills District campuses other than
the US flag and the flag of the State of California.
Swapping out real grass for drought resistant landscaping just got
more economical. The Metropolitan Water District is rap its rebate
from three dollars to seven dollars per square foot for
(28:04):
some businesses, schools, and other institutions the agencies at Lease.
Goldman says it's been a successful program so far.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
Since the rebate was launched, more than two hundred and
thirty million square feet of grass has been removed through
our program. That is eight square miles of grass, an
area larger than Griffith Park.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
The Water District says removing grass in favor of more
sustainable landscaping helps the agency's effort to conserve water and
flight a fight climate change. Time to get in your
business now with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho Courtney, if you want
to be one of those to jump on the Taylor
Travis bandwagon, how much is it costing these days to
(28:44):
throw a wedding.
Speaker 11 (28:46):
Well, Fall wedding season is definitely the busiest time of
the year to tie the nod.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I have to put this in perspective.
Speaker 11 (28:51):
More than forty percent of weddings are between September and November.
My wallet definitely sees that as a guest at some
of these events, but to the not. The average cost
of a ceremony and a reception in the US thirty
three thousand dollars. By the way, the average cost of
a wedding in LA close to forty five thousand dollars.
But New York listened to this one seventy five thousand dollars.
(29:13):
So I'm telling my daughter average somewhere else, anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Honey, we're going to North Carolina when you get married exactly. Well,
you're never getting married.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
You're never getting married.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Oh, you're going to be one of those momsh okay.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
I keep saying she's going to go to college in
my backyard. One day of college of the backyard in Pelham,
New York.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
We've got a cybersecurity breach at a credit reporting agency.
Speaker 11 (29:39):
Yeah, TransUnion. They said that hackers access a personal information
of more than four million customers. So they said the
data stored on a third party application was compromised. They
insist that no credit information was accessed, but they didn't
reveal what kind of personal data was hacked. Definitely check
into that. Definitely give a cull to TransUnion. Company says
(30:00):
it is working with law enforcement on that.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Okay. Chick and Chain's opening up more stores around the country.
Speaker 11 (30:06):
Yes, raising canes. The restaurant specializes in chicken fingers. It
has a goal of a thousand locations by the end
of the year. So the company's telling Fox Business it
has a focus on connection, connecting with college communities, so
they're opening up a lot of stores in near major universities.
Here in New York, they're opening up one right across
from Columbia and Barnard College. But Santa Fe Springs by
(30:29):
the Way is getting a location. I think that's a good,
good choice.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
We've got one down the street and there's always Lyne,
always exactly, always delicious. Okay. More people are going to
be running away from Nike, yeah, Pink so they want
to or not.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
Unfortunately, they're laying off about one percent of their corporate employees. Now,
I was trying to do the calculations based on how
many workers they have, and it comes out to about
seven hundred and eighty employees. So the brand has been
working on a turnaround. They've had a number of missteps
in recent years, so they said this move is hopefully
(31:05):
that will set themselves.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Up to win. Okay, and Pepsi is taking a bigger
sip out of the energy drink market.
Speaker 11 (31:12):
Yeah, they're boosting their steak in energy drink maker Celsius.
As part of the deal, Celsius will acquire Pepsi's Rockstar
energy brand. Celsius has definitely grown a lot over the
past couple of years. It started back in two thousand
and four, but it's really popular because of its vitamin
infused drinks that help burn calories. But Pepsi has definitely
(31:34):
been shaking up its portfolio of products. There's been such
a focus now on healthier, less processed food, so Pepsi's
taking a look at the landscape and trying to shake things.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Up a bit. But careful when you shake things up,
because you know what happens when you shake episoda and
then open it. Okay, exactly, all right, we got it. Well, yeah,
we could say that.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Remember New Coke back in.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
The day, when you try to shake up things too much.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yes, we're going to shake things up on Monday and
you won't be here. No. Oh, So have a wonderful
long date, a long holiday weekend, and we'll catch again
on Tuesday and get in your business with Bloomberg Courtny Donaho. Yes,
I'll see you later, all right, have a good one.
Governor Newsom's putting special CHP teams in place to crack
down on crime and sittings, including Los Angeles. The crime
(32:17):
suppression teams will target high crime neighborhoods, focusing on repeat
offenders and illegal guns and drugs. Orange County has launched
a first of its kind effort to support illegal immigrant families.
The Immigrant and Refugee Liberty Fund will be paid for
with one and a half million dollars in public and
private money, and we'll fund legal representation, emergency hotlines, and
(32:40):
know your Rights programs. A twenty one year old man
from Riverside County's pleaded guilty to aiming a laser pointer
at an LAPD helicopter flying over the anti ice protests
in downtown LA. The man's facing up to five years
in prison when he's sentenced in December. Let's say good
morning now to ABC's multi platform entertainment reporter Will Gans
(33:01):
Morning Will.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
Hey, good morning, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Thank you, Hey, Will. I'm all shook up because I
get it. Austin Butler's back.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yes, and he is. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
I mean if he went from all shook up as Elvis.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
He's like completely put through the ringer, bruised, battered, whatever
the taking shaken up.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
To the m degree is in this new movie.
Speaker 12 (33:24):
It's it's called cot Stealing and it's from director Darren Aronofsky,
who did Black Swan and a lot of other Oscar
type of films, but this is more of like die Hard.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
On steroids.
Speaker 12 (33:40):
So Austin Butler is playing a down on his luck
former baseball player who's now like a bartender in New
York City, and he agrees to watch his neighbor's cat
while his neighbor is away, and sure enough, these thugs
come looking for his neighbor and they see that Austin
Butler has his cat, and he gets all mixed up
in all kinds of terrible things.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
So it's an action.
Speaker 12 (34:02):
Packed, brutal, violent, you know, adventure through New York City
as he's trying to figure out what his neighbor has
gotten himself into and now what he's gotten himself into.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
Zoe Kravitz is in it as well. She plays his girlfriend.
Uh and it is.
Speaker 12 (34:18):
I mean, if if if you like the die hard
sort of bloody, action packed movie, you could see this
on the big screen this weekend. But if you are
a little squeamish when it comes to blood and fighting,
maybe take maybe skip it.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Oh, kinochy, it sounds like when you first started to
say he's a former baseball player who's now a bartender.
I'm like, it's sort of the dark side of cheers.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Yeah, yees, exactly, exactly. Yeah. Regina King is in it too.
The supporting cast is amazing.
Speaker 12 (34:48):
It's yeah, and if you do go see it, it
takes maybe like twenty minutes or so to really like
pick up some steam.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
But it's it's yeah, it's it's violent.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Okay, we'll put that extra asterisk asterisk on that one. Okay,
I'm so interested to hear about this one. If you're
going to start something on the stream. Got two of
my favorite actors, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, and it's
a who done it in a retirement community exactly.
Speaker 12 (35:19):
So this is like murder she wrote, meets only murders
in the building, and it is very British, it's very beautiful.
It's wonderfully acted, to the credit of your two faves,
Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan. So this is a group
of senior citizens who are living in a very posh
retirement community and they are trying to solve a cold
(35:41):
case when a murder happens in their own retirement community,
so then they of course pivot to.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
Try and solve that. And it is where the first.
Speaker 12 (35:51):
Movie I was talking about cot Stealing is bloody and
action packs.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
This is more intellectual.
Speaker 12 (35:56):
It's more of a Sherlock Holmes approach to solving a crime.
And it is streaming on Netflix, and it's a movie,
although I could totally see them maybe making this into
a franchise with the same characters coming back to solve,
you know, other crimes in the future. It's a delight
and if you're into a sort of intellectual who done it?
(36:17):
This is a great one to watch on Netflix this weekend.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Okay, and then I just saw a trailer for this one.
I haven't watched it, but I saw the trailer and
I went, oh, how come I haven't watched this series
because it looks kind of interesting, But it's almost rap.
It's about wrapping up.
Speaker 12 (36:31):
Yes, So the Summer I Turned Pretty it's you might
have seen it on your TikTok seat your Twitter feed.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
This is one where.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
Everybody's like, are you team Conrad or Team Jeremiah. So
it's sort of like the twenty twenty five version maybe
of Dawson's Creek or something like that. And it's based
on a book series that was very, very popular, and
there's a lot of Taylor Swift music.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
And the soundtrack.
Speaker 12 (36:53):
But it's about a girl who vacations to the same
beach house every summer and there's a love triangle between
her and these two brothers. And there are only three
episodes left in the entire series, so if you wanted
to catch up, you could start season one this weekend,
maybe watch season two next weekend, and then season three,
which is the final season, will wrap up in three weeks.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
So it's a very easy watch. It's you know, it's.
Speaker 12 (37:18):
Got high drama and high stakes and beautiful people and
beautiful music. So The Summer I Turned Pretty is the
Internet subsession and it could be yours too if you
wanted to get into it.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
And starting this weekend.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Okay, ABC's multi platinum, multi platinum, I like that better
than platform. I like it too.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Feel free to help. Yeah, okay, thank you very much
that from.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Now on, ABC's multiplatinum Entertainment reporter will.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Give thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Have a great weekend, Thanks you too.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. People in Encino
and Lake Balboa say they're getting fed up with all
the fires in the Supulvita Basin. In the past year
and a half, more than seven hundred fires have been reported.
Most are connected with homeless camps, with an estimated two
to three hundred people living in the basin. The Encino
Neighborhood Council will talked about the issue during a public
(38:09):
safety meeting yesterday. A lot of residents voice concerns about
a fire possibly spreading into their neighborhoods. The TORRNS Police
Department has agreed to make some changes after a review
by the California Department of Justice. Attorney General Rob Bonta
says the enforceable agreement is in response to a series
of racist and bigoted actions.
Speaker 13 (38:28):
That will provide for accountability, that will help eliminate bias,
that will make sure that there's data that is driving policies,
that there's oversight, that there's community engagement and more community policing,
that there's honoring of civil rights and constitution rights of
the community.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
More than a dozen Torrents police officers participated in the
exchange of racist and homophobic text messages. A pair of
officers were also caught spray painting a swastika on a
car they had impounded. Cases of flea born typhus are
on the rise in La County. The Department of Public
Health is in investigating recent outbreaks in Central La and
Santa Monica. Last year, there were a record one hundred
(39:06):
and eighty seven cases of fleaborn typhus. This year, there
have already been one hundred and six fleaborne typhus cases
in the county have been increasing gradually since the year
twenty ten. Infections usually peak in the late summer and fall.
Fear is growing of an AI bubble burst.
Speaker 14 (39:22):
A new reports is ninety five percent of companies investing
in artificial intelligence have yet to see any financial returns. Overall,
the stock market is up more than down, but tech
stocks in particular have been falling in recent weeks, leading
many to compared to the beginning of the dot com
bubble bursts in two thousand, where investors dumped businesses that
looked good on paper but turned into a huge liability.
(39:42):
Experts say the insane valuations of AI may cause a
sharp downturn as investment pulls back, but AI is so
embedded in our lives now that it's not going away.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
When did that happen?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Well, it's going to happen in two days, will Yeah,
it's crazy right. Hey, wanted to say thank you to
our friends at Coachella Valley Coffee Company. Cliff sent us
some coffee. Just got it, can't wait to try it,
and a really cool orange orange is my favorite color.
(01:02):
And orange coffee mug too. Yeah, you can go see.
This is an orange one and I have another. This
is a different one, but I got another orange one
to add to my collection.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I would have done about my high school.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
We were orange and white.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah. I love that small batch artisanal coffee.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah that just sounds young, I know, right, Get.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
To support local people. I love that. Thanks Cliff. Here's
what's ahead on this Friday wake up call la Ken
Sheriff's deputies have arrested the twenty year old man suspected
of shooting and killing a thirteen year old boy at
a gas station in Pico Rivera. Andres Chavez was arrested
in Pico Rivera last night and booked on murder charges,
(01:43):
just hours after Sheriff Luna identified Chavez as the man
they were looking for and asked for the public's help
in finding him. Ice Is carried out another raid at
the same home depot in the Westlake District where illegal
immigrants were rounded up three weeks ago. Eight people were
taken into cut to the including three that law enforcement
said had extensive rap sheets. Citing safety concerns, The superintendent
(02:07):
of the Beverly Hills School District has put a pause
on the plan to fly the Israeli flag at all
school campuses for one month every year. The Board of
Education just as week approved the plan to honor Holocaust
victims and the October seventh attacks. Some criticized the move,
saying it appeared to favor just one religion. Okay, so
coming up in just a couple of minutes. Futurist futurist
(02:30):
Kevin Sirelli is going to join us to tell us
about what jobs they're probably going to be safe, and
what jobs are going away thanks to our buddy AI,
and how we get ready as AI takes over more
of our daily lives. I mean, it's like really starting
to get concerning. You're hearing about, Oh, we're saving money
because we're replacing this whole department with AI because it
(02:53):
can do the work. So and the other thing is,
I gotta ask them about this. You can't trust. It's
wrong all the time, and you're really going to put
your financial systems in the hands of AI when it
doesn't get everything right yet. Also, we're going to do
a little window shopping with the host of Home on
KFI are very own, Dean Sharp. He's going to join
(03:15):
us before the bottom of the hour. I'm all shook up.
Austin Butler is back on the big screen. ABC's Willgans
is going to tell us about that, and on the stream,
who done it with two of my favorite actors in
a retirement community. I don't know if it's a comedy
or not. We'll find out from Will. That's coming up
(03:36):
before the end of the show. Also, do you know
the best time to hit the road. If you're headed
out of town for the Labor Day holiday weekend, we'll
tell you specifically when the best time is. That's coming
up on wake up call. Let's get started with some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. Eight people have been detained in an immigration
rate outside of home depot in the Westlake District. The
(03:56):
Department of Homeland Security confirms the raid yesterday. Agents were
seeing using tear gas during the enforcement action. A video
shows unmarked vans driving in the area and then agents
quickly jumping out. It was the third immigration raid in
the same area in the past few months. First one
happened in June, the last one about three weeks ago.
DHS says three of the people arrested have extensive rap sheets.
(04:20):
The White House says ICE is stepping up immigration enforcement
and so called sanctuary cities.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
President Trump's borders are Tom Holman specifically to California's ring.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Let me start that one over again. Sorry about that, my.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
President Trump's borders are Tom Holmans specifically mentioned La, Chicago,
New York, Portland, and Seattle as targets. He says sanctuary
status doesn't mean anything to the president's immigration policies. All
these sanctuaries, cities that refuse to work with lies where
we know public safety threats are being released every day
into this country, especially those cities.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
We're going to address that.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Holman has been critical of la Mayor Bass and Governor Newsome.
He says the president could do a better job at
keeping Californian safe. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
News bro out to you by sitting sleep. Thieves have
again targeted Woodlawn Celestial Gardens Cemetery in Compton. The owner
says about a dozen headstones were stolen recently and several
dozen more were damaged or moved. The owner, Celestina Bishop,
says more than one hundred headstones were stolen from the
property about a year and a half ago too. She
(05:20):
says the thieves are probably stealing them for the bronze
and copper on them. Bishop says it costs about three
thousand dollars and more to replace the headstones, and the
cemetery just doesn't have the money to do it. The
California High Speed Rail authorities announced a plan to speed
up the process of laying the first tracks on the
state's troubled infrastructure project. The board has approved a process
(05:42):
that invites bids from US manufacturers to buy the track
materials and other requirements systems components. The authority says the
process will result in track being laid in twenty twenty six.
Wasn't it supposed to be done by now?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And a lot cheaper.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
California is making a big play to bring productions home.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
California is rolling out its first round of expanded film
and TV tax credits, awarding two hundred and fifty six
million dollars to twenty two productions, including Apple TV's The
Studio and a new Larry David series for HBO.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Kfi's Heather Brooker says. The California Film Commission says the
incentives are projected to spark one point one billion dollars
in economic activity and create thousands of jobs. We'd like
to say good morning now too, futurist Kevin Sirelli. Kevin,
It's Labor Day weekend, so let's talk about labor as
it is now and how it's rapidly changing because of
(06:37):
a I.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, you know, I've got some good news, right, We're
heading into it, hopefully for most folks. With the three
day weekend and a four day work week. There's a
new study out and companies actually looked at how effective
a four day work week overall would be and they
found the surprise of knowing that people were eighteen percent happier.
(06:59):
It cut stress levels by twenty six percent. But here's
the thing that actually jumps out of me. It boosted
the company profits. So for some companies, they're making this permanent.
But the reason we've we've heard about four day work
weeks for a while and several decades, it's always sort
of been in humming in the background. But the reason
I think this is really getting steam right now is twofold.
(07:21):
One artificial intelligence is making for employees to be able
to be more effective, and two, companies need a reason
to get their employees back in the office full time.
And if they're able to kind of use some leverage
with a four day work week, you know, that might
get people's attention.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah. So, Kevin, when they talk about a four day
work week, do they mean a thirty two hour four
day work week or ten hour days.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well, it's a little bit of both, and so it
really depends on the industry. That's a great question though,
and it really depends on the industry, because I think
what you're seeing, especially in certain industries, is well, it
doesn't matter if I'm at the officer at home. You know,
in the email world that we live in, you're always
on the go, you're always responding. But then they also
looked at another study looked at super workers, and so
(08:07):
I don't know if if you and your friends talk
like this, but you're they you know, I think some
have said out AI helps me cheat at this or
cheat at that, and that's really the wrong way to
look at it, because it's actually making employees more effective,
and they're calling these employees super workers. The new star
employees aren't necessarily faster, they're smarter with using artificial intelligence.
(08:28):
They're automating some of the tedious tasks that are focusing
allowing them rather to focus more on strategy. So industries
that are leading into AI are seeing three x revenue
growth and top talent is actually getting a lot more salaries.
So if someone's calling you out for using AI, you're
using AI wrong. But if someone is wondering how you're
(08:49):
getting stuff done so fast and it's still in your voice,
then you're.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Using it right, Okay, And Kevin, what kind of industries
are we talking about that You're saying there's like they're
three times more productive.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, if you look at some of the more creative industries,
if you look at some of the more consulting based industries,
But then if you look at manufacturing specifically with robotics,
you're starting to notice that humans are having to oversee robots.
So I remember a couple of years ago, I got
a tour of a plant in Arizona that was making
semiconductor ships, and I was amazed because I was watching
(09:22):
all of these engineers oversee these robots that were designing
these chips in a secure facility underground. Flash forward to
last week and the Wall Street journals reporting that there's
a seven billion dollar Georgia planet where seven hundred and
fifty robots are doing the heavy lifting. But they're not
necessarily replacing human jobs. Humans are having to still oversee
the robots. Meanwhile, on the entry level job front, the
(09:46):
college kids are cashing in for those who specialize in
artificial intelligence. These AI startups are throwing like two hundred
thousand dollars salaries at them. It's wild.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Okay, So now I have a question for you about
AI specifically because we know that they're doing these menial
tasks and all this stuff. And I we keep talking
with our tech guy about how AI is wrong so much?
Still as it you know it, probably it's going to improve,
But right now it's wrong a lot, and I catch
it all the time and I barely use it. So
(10:14):
are we ready to turn things over to an intelligence
that isn't always that intelligent? No?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And that's a great question. But let's I would ask
you why is the AI wrong so much? Because it's
drawing on the internet. So the source data set, which
we are all accustomed to knowing, don't trust everything you
see online, or don't trust everything you see on the internet.
We were taught that, right, I remember as a kid.
You know you can't trust everything on Wikipedia, for example.
It's not as you know, trust it as the encyclopedia
(10:44):
and whatnot. Well, AI is the data sets are the
lll M models, they're called they're they're drawing from, uh,
from the internet and so and so the source material
is bulletproof and fact checked, then the source set that
they draw from going to be wrong. So that's a
great question, a great call out.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Okay, and so AI takes an enormous amount of power.
What if we don't have the power to supply it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Well. And that's the other thing is that it's just
because you can't see it doesn't mean that the data
sets aren't trawling on electricity. And so these data centers
that are popping up all over the country, I would
argue that this is infrastructure for the future, and so
if you don't have the data centers, you can't do it.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Not all data centers are created equally. I think that
whoever named the term data center did a poor job
calling it data center because in many ways has nothing
to do with what that conjures up with big data
and social media. But really it's more accustomed to refineries
and or some of the electrical power plants. But this
(11:48):
water systems, sewage systems. I mean, this is connectivity infrastructure,
and connectivity infrastructure is going to be vital, especially for
economies advancing into the future, planning for the future. And
I'm not talking about one hundred years now. I'm saying
if you don't have a data center to be able
to leverage artificial intelligence usage, your community is going to
be left behind.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay, So, and the takeaway I'm getting from our conversation
Kevin is if you haven't leaned in yet, it's time
to lean in to AI and learn it because it
can help you get a job, probably a good paying
job as we move forward.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
With all this.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yes, and I have to say that unfortunately I have
a hard out and so I apologize, but I have to.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Hop Okay, thank you, Kevin Sorelli. All right, bye, He's
a man in demand today.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
People are like, what is AI was the future? Here's
my other takeaway. He said that that four day work
week thing, well, next week is a four day work
week for most of us, So eighteen percent of us
are going to be a lot happier. Oh yeah, or
we're going to be eighteen percent happier, one of the two.
But I think that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
For those of us who do have to work, might
be a little richer because of time and a half.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah yeah, uh, what's that? We don't get that here?
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Israel
says the bodies of two hostages have been returned by
Hamas as the military begins its offensive in Gaza City.
The Israeli military has suspended its midday pauses in fighting
(13:20):
that had allowed the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza City,
saying the city is now a dangerous combat zone. Of
the two hundred and fifty one people taken hostage in
October of twenty twenty three, about fifty are still in Gaza,
but only twenty are believed to be alive. The Kremlin
says it's still interested in pursuing peace talks with Ukraine
despite carrying out one of its largest overnight strikes on Kiev.
(13:43):
Ukrainian officials say the attack yesterday killed at least fifteen people,
including four children, in a strike on the capital city
that President Zelenski said was Moscow's answer to diplomatic efforts
to end the war. The families of the four students
murdered by Brian Koberger Idaho have asked a judge not
to release the crime scene photos. They say it would
(14:05):
only victimize them further. The city attorney in Moscow, Ataaho,
says the photos and videos fall under the public records law.
It's now up to a judge to decide. Coburger was
sentenced to life in prison. For the murders. The gun
used during the lynching of fourteen year old Emmett Till
in Mississippi in the nineteen fifties is now on display
for the public to see.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
The Mississippi Department of Archives in History has unveiled the
forty five caliber pistol and its holder. It happened during
a news conference yesterday, which was the seventieth anniversary of
Till's murder. The gun belonged to John William J. W. Minlum, who,
alongside Roy Bryant, abducted Till from his great uncle's home
on August twenty eighth, nineteen fifty five. The white men
(14:45):
tortured and killed Till after the teenager was falsely accused
of whistling at a white woman in a grocery store
in Mississippi. Deborah mark Kff I News.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Have you watched that movie about Mmett Till. It's so
it's just tragic, but I mean, it's a beautifully done movie,
and if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend
that from the Torran's Police Department is on the road
to reform. California Attorney General Rob Bonta released an enforceable
agreement agreement that stems from something that happened four years
(15:15):
ago when two officers painted swastikas on an impounded car.
The five year agreement is aimed at improving the department's
policies and practices, as well as improving accountability. Nineteen Democratic
governors have criticized the Trump administration's plans to deploy National
Guard troops in big cities. In a joint statement yesterday,
the governor's called the efforts an alarming abuse of power.
(15:37):
They claim President Trump is cut funding for law enforcement
and undermined the authority of governors instead of addressing crime.
Ariana Grande is going on tour for the first time
since twenty nineteen. The Eternal Sunshine Tour starts in Oakland
in June of next year. Her tour includes twenty two shows,
including LA Fans have until September seventh to sign up
(16:00):
for ticket pre sales at six oh five. Is handle
all the News? The governor says he's cracking down on crime.
Bill's gonna tell you about that right now. Let's say
good morning to the host of Home on KFI. It's
our very own Dean Sharp morning.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Dean, good morning, Amy.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Let's do a little window shopping. Okay, okay, so you're
gonna be talking about windows this weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
We are. We're going to be talking doors and windows.
I do. I try and get a door and windows
show in every year just because it's just such a
critical part of the house that we dedicate an entire show.
So Sunday I'll be in studio actually with Chris Perez
from American Vision Windows, and he and I are going
to be talking shop the entire time. It's going to
(16:46):
be a great show. And if you don't know enough
about windows, which most homeowners don't, especially if you're in
you know, thinking about like oh yeah, I think we
should replace some, then you should tune in because we're
going to deep dive in to all of the big
decisions that have to be made regarding windows.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I know that my home needs it's windows replaced desperately,
but I don't own the home I'm living in, so
they're not getting replaced.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know what, I find very convenient rocks. Rocks are
a really good way for renters to get their windows replaced.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Nice Dean gonna be funny all of a sudden, and
you know, murders are down and robberies are down, but
there's a huge increase in the number of shattered windows
and homes around Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Thanks Dean, Thanks Dean.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Hey before I want to dive into windows just a
bit more, but I also want to mention the doors
thing and get your take on it, because what I've
noticed just recently I've got friends remodeling homes and building
homes and stuff, is the doors are so cool now,
like they just used to be a front door, but
now it's like the doors almost a work of art.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, front doors have you know, I think
we're kind of in the golden age of doors and
windows architecturally for homes right now. I gotta say, just
because we've really opened ourselves up here in the States.
And I say that because in Europe this has been
a thing for quite a while, and we trail behind
(18:16):
them architecturally when it comes to these features. But we
really have opened ourselves up to all sorts of coolness
when it comes to doors and windows. Yeah, and front doors,
I mean they're a completely different ballgame than even just
fifteen twenty years ago. Now. The big thing which I
love is the single oversized door as opposed to the
(18:41):
double door, because I don't know if you've heard me
say this before, but I have issues with the double
front entry doors just because they make promises they don't
keep the architecturally speaking.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
And the only thing they're good for is getting a couchin.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Well.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah, that's the thing is that most people have a
relatively small entry way right or not a hugeach entryway,
and it's all balanced right so that you've got a
chandelier hanging in your entryway, and it's all centered on
the entryway, centered on those double doors and that whole experience.
But and that would be fine if both of those
doors opened when you walked in, and you walked in
(19:15):
in the middle of your entryway, all aligned with all
of that stuff. But no, no, that one door never opened.
It it opens twice. It opens when you move in
and when you move out, or it maybe when you
get a new refrigerator. Otherwise, what it promises, it doesn't
pay off on because you end up going in the
entryway far left or far right, and it's just not
(19:37):
the same experience. So when replacing those doors, I almost
inevitably always not always, but most of the time, we'll
advise our clients, Hey, let's go for a big, centered
entry door and maybe some sidelights on each side instead
of the double door. And I've never had a client
(19:58):
come back and say, you know what wrong move? No, no, no,
I absolutely love it. And by oversized door, I mean
we can go now forty two inch wide doors, or
if you do a pivot door, we can go up
to five feet wide as an entry door. Just awesome,
awesome stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I think I just saw one of those in a movie.
It was the News, not new, brand new, but it
was like a zach Efron movie and he was some
guy in Hollywood and he had a massive door and
it was like that, just a huge, huge door and
the woman couldn't push it open. It was kind of funny,
but it was It was the first time I'd seen
(20:36):
something that big, but it was very impressive.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yeah, sometimes we called them douchebag doors just because just
because of the clients who specifically order them. But I
think they're cool nonetheless.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
All right, so we're going to talk about doors, and
we're going to talk about windows and all the different
kinds of windows and all of that stuff all week
and long on Home with Dean Sharpest Labor Day weekend,
and it's from six to eight on Saturday morning and
then nine to noon on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
And Sunday is the day you're going to have the
guests in.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, Sunday, Chris Perez from American Vision Windows. They're celebrating
their twenty five year rebirth yet again, they've been so successful,
such a great company, and so we'll have them in
talking about doors and windows with MOI Awesome Soft.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
So you can also follow Dean at home with Dean.
Thank you, Dean Sharp, have a wonderful Labor Day.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Weekend, you too, Amy all right.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Governor Newsom has announced an expansion of a state program
that'll send more police to La the Ie, San Diego
and a couple other places. He says this is different
than what President Trump is doing by sending in the military,
which he says scares people.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
The idea that the military can be out there in
every street corner in the United States of America, that
people that don't look like me, the black and brown
community quite literally feeling like they're racially profiled, scared to death.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
The crime Suppression teams are made up of CHP officers
who work with local police departments in high crime areas.
The Governor says the program has been successful in San Bernardino, Bakersfield,
and Oakland. Officials and activists in Orange County have announced
to first of its kind fund to help illegal immigrant families.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
The Liberty Fund is made up of both public and
private dollars to provide legal representation for people navigating the
immigration court system. The Orange County Register reports the fund
will also be used for things like hotlines for reporting
immigration activities and know your Rights education programs. Orange County
Supervisor Vincent Sarmiento tells the Register the fund will also
(22:37):
work proactively to help families not yet impacted by federal
immigration enforcement. Deborah mark Koffie News a.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Driver who led La Kenny Sheriff's deputies and CHP officers
on a wild, high speed chase has gotten away that
didn't happen that often. The driver was wanted for reckless dui.
He took off during an attempted traffic stop last night.
The driver eventually crashed, ran away from the scene, then
got into another car. That driver also took off at
(23:05):
high speeds, turning off their headlights and going through red lights.
In Inglewood. Police and media helicopters had to pull off
the pursuit after they got into lax airspace, and the
CDC is ending its long running ads that helped scores
of Americans quit smoking. What's called the Tips from Former
Smokers campaign started thirteen years ago. It'll go off the
(23:26):
air at the end of September because of funding cuts.
The campaign has featured people telling their stories about the
negative impact smoking has had on their lives while urging
others to get help quitting. Data shows the campaign led
to millions attempting to quit, while more than a million
people actually did. Okay, you want to know what is
the best time to travel this Labor Day? According to
(23:49):
Triple A, the best time to leave to avoid the
worst traffic is today before noon. I know, we'll keep
saying now now, but today before noon, or if you're
waiting until tomorrow, the best time to leave is between
six and ten am, So don't wait till the afternoon,
it's gonna get nasty, and then all the way back
because you got to come home the way back. The
(24:10):
best times to travel are Sunday before eleven am or
Monday before ten am. I know will want you to
leave now, but those are these are according to Triple A,
So again, If you're getting out of town today, just
leave before noon and tomorrow between six and ten am
best times to go. Here's what's coming out of the
(24:32):
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The White House Borders Are
says immigration actions will be ramped up in sanctuary cities,
including La. Tom Holman did not give specifics of the plan.
ICE has been doing ICE enforcement in La since early June.
Israel has declared Gaz's largest city a dangerous combat zone.
Israel's military has suspended its midday pauses in fighting to
(24:53):
allow food and aid to get into the city. It
also says it has recovered the bodies of two hostages
and vowed that in their military offensive, they'll find and
return more of them. More than fifteen million people are
expected to travel through airports over the Labor Day weekend.
We just talked about the roads, but here's what's up
in the airports. The weekend started yesterday goes through Wednesday.
(25:16):
For air travel, The busiest travel day is expected to
be tomorrow. TSA says this is going to be the
busiest Labor Day travel period on record, with eight and
a half percent more people traveling this year than last.
Here's more stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. The twenty year old suspected of killing a
thirteen year old boy at a gas station and Pico
(25:36):
Rivera has been caught. The Only County Sheriff's department says
Andres Chavez was arrested in Pico Rivera yesterday and booked
on murder charges. He allegedly shot the boy multiple times
late Saturday as the boy waited for his mom to
get off work.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
The mother witnessed everything I just described.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Sheriff Robert Luna had just asked for the public's help
in finding Chavez. A state appeals court has upheld the
conviction of a man for the bludgeoning deaths of his
then estranged wife's two teenage nephews inside the boys' home
in Arcadia. The Yanshie is serving two consecutive life prison
terms without the possibility of parole. Eight people have been
(26:19):
caught in an immigration raid outside a home depot in
LA's Westlake District.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
The Department of Homeland Security confirms the raid took place
on Thursday. A video shows unmarked vans driving in the area,
then agents quickly jumping out and taking people into custody.
Immigration agents were also seen using tear gas during the raid.
This is the third immigration raid in the same area
in the past few months. The DHS says three of
the people who are arrested yesterday have extensive rap sheets.
(26:45):
Daniel Martindale Caffie News.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
The Trump administrations investigating the California Environmental Protection Agency. The
investigation includes the California Air Resources Board over alleged unfair
job practices against people based on race, color, sex, or
cry of origin. The DOJ says it's going to look
into any discrimination actions which would violate the Civil Rights Act.
Cal EPA has been criticized by the DOJ for using
(27:10):
protected characteristics in hiring to advance what it calls racial equity.
The Beverly Hills School superintendent has blocked plans to fly
the Israeli flag during Jewish American Heritage Month. Despite a
school board vote in favor of it.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Superintendent Alex Turness overruled the decision, citing safety concerns and
a policy allowing urgent action to prevent disruptions. The resolution,
meant to combat anti Semitism and honor Jewish achievements, drew
debate over whether flying the flag's signaled support for Israel's
government and its war in Gaza.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Okay if, Heather Brooker says. Sureness also said no flags
will be displayed on Beverly Hills District campuses other than
the US flag and the flag of the State of California.
Swapping out real grass for drought resistant landscaping just got
more economical. The Metropolitan Water District is rap its rebate
from three dollars to seven dollars per square foot for
(28:04):
some businesses, schools, and other institutions the agencies at Lease.
Goldman says it's been a successful program so far.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
Since the rebate was launched, more than two hundred and
thirty million square feet of grass has been removed through
our program. That is eight square miles of grass, an
area larger than Griffith Park.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
The Water District says removing grass in favor of more
sustainable landscaping helps the agency's effort to conserve water and
flight a fight climate change. Time to get in your
business now with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho Courtney, if you want
to be one of those to jump on the Taylor
Travis bandwagon, how much is it costing these days to
(28:44):
throw a wedding.
Speaker 11 (28:46):
Well, Fall wedding season is definitely the busiest time of
the year to tie the nod.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I have to put this in perspective.
Speaker 11 (28:51):
More than forty percent of weddings are between September and November.
My wallet definitely sees that as a guest at some
of these events, but to the not. The average cost
of a ceremony and a reception in the US thirty
three thousand dollars. By the way, the average cost of
a wedding in LA close to forty five thousand dollars.
But New York listened to this one seventy five thousand dollars.
(29:13):
So I'm telling my daughter average somewhere else, anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Honey, we're going to North Carolina when you get married exactly. Well,
you're never getting married.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
You're never getting married.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Oh, you're going to be one of those momsh okay.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
I keep saying she's going to go to college in
my backyard. One day of college of the backyard in Pelham,
New York.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
We've got a cybersecurity breach at a credit reporting agency.
Speaker 11 (29:39):
Yeah, TransUnion. They said that hackers access a personal information
of more than four million customers. So they said the
data stored on a third party application was compromised. They
insist that no credit information was accessed, but they didn't
reveal what kind of personal data was hacked. Definitely check
into that. Definitely give a cull to TransUnion. Company says
(30:00):
it is working with law enforcement on that.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Okay. Chick and Chain's opening up more stores around the country.
Speaker 11 (30:06):
Yes, raising canes. The restaurant specializes in chicken fingers. It
has a goal of a thousand locations by the end
of the year. So the company's telling Fox Business it
has a focus on connection, connecting with college communities, so
they're opening up a lot of stores in near major universities.
Here in New York, they're opening up one right across
from Columbia and Barnard College. But Santa Fe Springs by
(30:29):
the Way is getting a location. I think that's a good,
good choice.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
We've got one down the street and there's always Lyne,
always exactly, always delicious. Okay. More people are going to
be running away from Nike, yeah, Pink so they want
to or not.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
Unfortunately, they're laying off about one percent of their corporate employees. Now,
I was trying to do the calculations based on how
many workers they have, and it comes out to about
seven hundred and eighty employees. So the brand has been
working on a turnaround. They've had a number of missteps
in recent years, so they said this move is hopefully
(31:05):
that will set themselves.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Up to win. Okay, and Pepsi is taking a bigger
sip out of the energy drink market.
Speaker 11 (31:12):
Yeah, they're boosting their steak in energy drink maker Celsius.
As part of the deal, Celsius will acquire Pepsi's Rockstar
energy brand. Celsius has definitely grown a lot over the
past couple of years. It started back in two thousand
and four, but it's really popular because of its vitamin
infused drinks that help burn calories. But Pepsi has definitely
(31:34):
been shaking up its portfolio of products. There's been such
a focus now on healthier, less processed food, so Pepsi's
taking a look at the landscape and trying to shake things.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Up a bit. But careful when you shake things up,
because you know what happens when you shake episoda and
then open it. Okay, exactly, all right, we got it. Well, yeah,
we could say that.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Remember New Coke back in.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
The day, when you try to shake up things too much.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yes, we're going to shake things up on Monday and
you won't be here. No. Oh, So have a wonderful
long date, a long holiday weekend, and we'll catch again
on Tuesday and get in your business with Bloomberg Courtny Donaho. Yes,
I'll see you later, all right, have a good one.
Governor Newsom's putting special CHP teams in place to crack
down on crime and sittings, including Los Angeles. The crime
(32:17):
suppression teams will target high crime neighborhoods, focusing on repeat
offenders and illegal guns and drugs. Orange County has launched
a first of its kind effort to support illegal immigrant families.
The Immigrant and Refugee Liberty Fund will be paid for
with one and a half million dollars in public and
private money, and we'll fund legal representation, emergency hotlines, and
(32:40):
know your Rights programs. A twenty one year old man
from Riverside County's pleaded guilty to aiming a laser pointer
at an LAPD helicopter flying over the anti ice protests
in downtown LA. The man's facing up to five years
in prison when he's sentenced in December. Let's say good
morning now to ABC's multi platform entertainment reporter Will Gans
(33:01):
Morning Will.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
Hey, good morning, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Thank you, Hey, Will. I'm all shook up because I
get it. Austin Butler's back.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yes, and he is. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
I mean if he went from all shook up as Elvis.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
He's like completely put through the ringer, bruised, battered, whatever
the taking shaken up.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
To the m degree is in this new movie.
Speaker 12 (33:24):
It's it's called cot Stealing and it's from director Darren Aronofsky,
who did Black Swan and a lot of other Oscar
type of films, but this is more of like die Hard.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
On steroids.
Speaker 12 (33:40):
So Austin Butler is playing a down on his luck
former baseball player who's now like a bartender in New
York City, and he agrees to watch his neighbor's cat
while his neighbor is away, and sure enough, these thugs
come looking for his neighbor and they see that Austin
Butler has his cat, and he gets all mixed up
in all kinds of terrible things.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
So it's an action.
Speaker 12 (34:02):
Packed, brutal, violent, you know, adventure through New York City
as he's trying to figure out what his neighbor has
gotten himself into and now what he's gotten himself into.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
Zoe Kravitz is in it as well. She plays his girlfriend.
Uh and it is.
Speaker 12 (34:18):
I mean, if if if you like the die hard
sort of bloody, action packed movie, you could see this
on the big screen this weekend. But if you are
a little squeamish when it comes to blood and fighting,
maybe take maybe skip it.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Oh, kinochy, it sounds like when you first started to
say he's a former baseball player who's now a bartender.
I'm like, it's sort of the dark side of cheers.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Yeah, yees, exactly, exactly. Yeah. Regina King is in it too.
The supporting cast is amazing.
Speaker 12 (34:48):
It's yeah, and if you do go see it, it
takes maybe like twenty minutes or so to really like
pick up some steam.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
But it's it's yeah, it's it's violent.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Okay, we'll put that extra asterisk asterisk on that one. Okay,
I'm so interested to hear about this one. If you're
going to start something on the stream. Got two of
my favorite actors, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, and it's
a who done it in a retirement community exactly.
Speaker 12 (35:19):
So this is like murder she wrote, meets only murders
in the building, and it is very British, it's very beautiful.
It's wonderfully acted, to the credit of your two faves,
Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan. So this is a group
of senior citizens who are living in a very posh
retirement community and they are trying to solve a cold
(35:41):
case when a murder happens in their own retirement community,
so then they of course pivot to.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
Try and solve that. And it is where the first.
Speaker 12 (35:51):
Movie I was talking about cot Stealing is bloody and
action packs.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
This is more intellectual.
Speaker 12 (35:56):
It's more of a Sherlock Holmes approach to solving a crime.
And it is streaming on Netflix, and it's a movie,
although I could totally see them maybe making this into
a franchise with the same characters coming back to solve,
you know, other crimes in the future. It's a delight
and if you're into a sort of intellectual who done it?
(36:17):
This is a great one to watch on Netflix this weekend.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Okay, and then I just saw a trailer for this one.
I haven't watched it, but I saw the trailer and
I went, oh, how come I haven't watched this series
because it looks kind of interesting, But it's almost rap.
It's about wrapping up.
Speaker 12 (36:31):
Yes, So the Summer I Turned Pretty it's you might
have seen it on your TikTok seat your Twitter feed.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
This is one where.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
Everybody's like, are you team Conrad or Team Jeremiah. So
it's sort of like the twenty twenty five version maybe
of Dawson's Creek or something like that. And it's based
on a book series that was very, very popular, and
there's a lot of Taylor Swift music.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
And the soundtrack.
Speaker 12 (36:53):
But it's about a girl who vacations to the same
beach house every summer and there's a love triangle between
her and these two brothers. And there are only three
episodes left in the entire series, so if you wanted
to catch up, you could start season one this weekend,
maybe watch season two next weekend, and then season three,
which is the final season, will wrap up in three weeks.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
So it's a very easy watch. It's you know, it's.
Speaker 12 (37:18):
Got high drama and high stakes and beautiful people and
beautiful music. So The Summer I Turned Pretty is the
Internet subsession and it could be yours too if you
wanted to get into it.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
And starting this weekend.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Okay, ABC's multi platinum, multi platinum, I like that better

Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. People in Encino
and Lake Balboa say they're getting fed up with all
the fires in the Supulvita Basin. In the past year
and a half, more than seven hundred fires have been reported.
Most are connected with homeless camps, with an estimated two
to three hundred people living in the basin. The Encino
Neighborhood Council will talked about the issue during a public
(38:09):
safety meeting yesterday. A lot of residents voice concerns about
a fire possibly spreading into their neighborhoods. The TORRNS Police
Department has agreed to make some changes after a review
by the California Department of Justice. Attorney General Rob Bonta
says the enforceable agreement is in response to a series
of racist and bigoted actions.
Speaker 13 (38:28):
That will provide for accountability, that will help eliminate bias,
that will make sure that there's data that is driving policies,
that there's oversight, that there's community engagement and more community policing,
that there's honoring of civil rights and constitution rights of
the community.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
More than a dozen Torrents police officers participated in the
exchange of racist and homophobic text messages. A pair of
officers were also caught spray painting a swastika on a
car they had impounded. Cases of flea born typhus are
on the rise in La County. The Department of Public
Health is in investigating recent outbreaks in Central La and
Santa Monica. Last year, there were a record one hundred
(39:06):
and eighty seven cases of fleaborn typhus. This year, there
have already been one hundred and six fleaborne typhus cases
in the county have been increasing gradually since the year
twenty ten. Infections usually peak in the late summer and fall.
Fear is growing of an AI bubble burst.
Speaker 14 (39:22):
A new reports is ninety five percent of companies investing
in artificial intelligence have yet to see any financial returns. Overall,
the stock market is up more than down, but tech
stocks in particular have been falling in recent weeks, leading
many to compared to the beginning of the dot com
bubble bursts in two thousand, where investors dumped businesses that
looked good on paper but turned into a huge liability.
(39:42):
Experts say the insane valuations of AI may cause a
sharp downturn as investment pulls back, but AI is so
embedded in our lives now that it's not going away.
