Lassa's new CEO, Gid O'Neil tells the La County Board
of Supervisors workers at the agency aren't sure what's next
for them. She says the county's decision to pull hundreds
of millions of dollars in funding has created uncertainty for
the staff.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
There's a lot of anxiety from the employees at LASA.
They're very worried, you know, as I'm sure the county
and city folks are. Employees worried about all of this
financial crisis.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
The county has decided to create its own homeless department
after audits revealed poor accounting and financial oversight at LASA.
Officials have said it's likely loss of workers end up
employed by that new department. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
The world's wealthy are already snapping up luxury accommodations ahead
of the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympic Games in La.
The games are still three years away, but the rich
have been making reservations. The most luxurious rentals, offered by
a company called lux JB, go for three hundred thousand
dollars a month. The least expensive leases for about twenty
(05:16):
five thousand a month, at least through that company and
they're already being reserved. Let's say good morning now to
kfi's White House correspondent John Decker. So, John, you were
with the President in the Oval yesterday when he had
his big announcement. He teased it early and was very
secretive about it, but we quickly found out that Space
(05:39):
Command is moving to Huntsville, Alabama.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
Yeah, from Colorado. If you had me on your show
yesterday around this time, a lot of speculation what it
was going to be about the big announcement, I would
have told you that it was going to be about this.
So that's a word to the wise book me and
you'll get some scoops like some other stations did yesterday.
In any case, the President announcing this big decision with
(06:03):
the entire Republican congressional delegation from Alabama on hand. Obviously,
the Colorado congressional delegation not pleased by this. In fact,
they put out a joint statement criticizing this decision. But
the presidents saying this will create a significant number of
jobs in Alabama. It will lead to four hundred and
twenty six million dollars in cost savings for two tax payers.
(06:27):
And I asked the President about whether or not, this
provides a strategic advantage for the United States, and he
explained why, as did Defense Secretary Pete Hagsat And what
did they say, Well, they both explained that because of
the fact that Huntsville is also home to a significant
amount of NASA personnel, there will be some advantages by
(06:51):
having Space Command based in Huntsville, Alabama. They certainly are
a community that is used to being in the spotlight
as it relates to space issues. And you know, for
those reasons, I think that the personnel that will be
coming to Alabama to be a part of US Space
Command will certainly benefit by being in a place that
(07:14):
is used to this type of work.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Okay, and this was how long has it been in Colorado?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
You know, well since the Biden administration, so for a
few years. So there will be an opportunity for those
that are working for Space Command in Colorado Springs to
move essentially, you know, halfway across the country to Huntsville,
Alabama for jobs that will be waiting for them there. Otherwise,
(07:42):
you know that there will be an opportunity for others
to participate and contribute to a very important aspect of
US defense policy.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Okay, And then after he made his big announcement about that,
of course, he opened it up to reporters for questions
as he always does, and somebody asked him about the
rumors that he had died over the weekend.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
Yeah. I don't think the President liked that question, to
be quite honest. I was just literally three feet away
from the president when he was asked that question. You know,
he called it fake news, and it was indeed fake news.
You know, the President had not had a public appearance
literally in one week since that very long cabinet meeting
that he had the week prior, but he you know,
(08:26):
went out golfing this past weekend during the Labor Day weekend.
He just hadn't had any major public events. And I
can recall lots of times when that happened during the
administration of President Joe Biden. The days would go by
sometimes in which we would not even see President Joe Biden.
So I guess people want to see and here from
(08:49):
President Donald Trump every day and that's led that led,
of course to some of those rumors.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, I think because you know, they're used to seeing him.
Like you said, you'd go for long stretches with under
the Biden administration where you wouldn't see the president, but
Trump's seems to always be in front of the cameras.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
So when he.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Goes and goes golfing and stuff on the weekend, do
reporters like, do you go with him or is that
private time for him?
Speaker 8 (09:12):
Well, if you are in the pool, and I've been
in the pool, you know it's a rotation. I've been
in the pool a few times this administration and many
times in his first administration. On those weekends when he
goes golfing and we go out to the Trump National
Golf Club, which is in northern Virginia. We drive out
there in a motorcade, and then while the president golf's
(09:33):
we're not following him around for all eighteen holes. We're
stuck in the tennis clubhouse and we just wait for
him to finish his round of golf before we head
back to the White House. So that's what pool duty,
as it's known, is like. When you're out there when
the president wants to go golfing on the weekends.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Sounds like a lot of fun. John, Hey, I know
you got to run. I know you got to run.
What's on tap for the president today?
Speaker 8 (09:59):
The President in his meeting with his counterpart from Poland,
Poland's new president, that will be in just a few hours.
The President will welcome him to the Oval Office. We'll
have a bilateral meeting, a working lunch in the cabinet
room as well, and certainly the war in Ukraine will
be a top issue on the agenda during that meeting.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
All right, White House correspondent for kfive, John Decker, thank you.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
As always, We'll talk to you again soon.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A federal appeals
court has ruled President Trump cannot use in eighteenth century
wartime law to speed up the deportations of people accused
of being Venezuelan gang members. The three judge panel of
the Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with immigrant
rights groups that Trump improperly invoked the Alien Enemies Act
(10:46):
of seventeen ninety eight against Trende Aragua. In March, the
administration deported people designated as gang members to a notorious
prison in El Salvador. The case is likely to end
up before the Supreme Court. China has staged a massive
military prede to mark the eightieth anniversary of the end
(11:08):
of World War II. Russian President Putin and North Korean
leader Kim Jong un attended. President Trump says he doesn't
see it as a challenge to the US.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
China needs us much more than we need them.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
No, I don't see that at all now.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
And I had actually a very good meeting with President
putt In a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
We'll see if anything comes out of it.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Trump later posted about China on social media, saying, please
give my warmest reguards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong
Un as you conspire against the United States of America.
Putin and Indian Prime Minister Motiary in China for an
economic meeting with the country's president. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
has approved sending up to six hundred military lawyers to
(11:49):
the Justice Department to serve as temporary immigration judges. He
says the military will begin sending groups of one hundred
and fifty attorneys to the Justice Department as soon as
it is practical, and that the military services should have
the first round of people identified by next week. The
House Oversight Committee started its investigation into the Epstein files
(12:10):
as members get back to work following their summer recess.
Speaker Mike Johnson's President Trump supports the House led investigation.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
This is full participation of the administration and the White House.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
The President has the same desire so long as we're
protecting the innocents.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
The Oversight Committee met with a number of women yesterday
who detailed abuse by Jeffrey Epstein as they that they
endured as minors. The Secret Services Counter Sniper Team is
reportedly facing chronic understaffing.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
A new report from the Department of Homeland Security Inspector
General has found that the team is staffed seventy three
percent below the level necessary to meet mission requirements. The
report also said that failing to appropriately staff the team
can limit the Secret Service's ability to protect the country's
most senior leaders. This comes more than a year after
an assassination attempt on President Trump's life at a rally
(13:02):
in Butler, Pennsylvania. Depor Mark K Fine news.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Modern dating has gone to the dogs, or maybe actually
to the green ogres.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Ugly, well, you are angill, lie, you are ugly.
Speaker 10 (13:14):
Shreking is when you date a person you're not attracted to,
thinking that ugly person will be appreciative and treat you better.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Experts. A.
Speaker 10 (13:21):
Dating is part of public conversation more now because of
social media and shreking maybe a new term, but it's
not new to think someone you lower your standards for
will treat you better. When you date down and looks
and you're still treated badly, that's called getting shreked.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Experts E.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
People who've been shreked shouldn't just go back to dating
only hot people, but look for people with character, values
and emotional availability, regardless of how hot or hideous the
package is. Michael Krozier kf I News.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Where does crow find these shreking? I love that? I mean,
actually I hate it. You know, you know what it happens.
It happens.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
The so called ketamine queens expected to change her not
guilty plead to guilty today on charge she sold Matthew
Perry the ketamine that killed him. Jasvin Sanga is facing
five federal charges. She's the fifth and final person charged

twenty twenty three. The man accused of shooting and killing
a thirteen year old boy to gas station and Pico

Rivere has been charged with murder. The charge against Andres
Chavez includes the special circumstance allegation of murder while lying
in wait. The DA's office is going to decide later
whether to go after the death penalty. The Corporation for
Public Broadcasting is getting the Television Academy Governor's Award. The

the Creative Arts Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater in
downtown LA at six oh five. Its handle on the news,

Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
On Tech on ko Fie. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Morning, Rich, Good morning to you.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Amy. Okay, so I've had this happen before where your
phone starts to get glitchy and slow and doesn't do
everything because the storage is getting too full.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
But you have an app that can help us with that.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yes, and this is literally one of the most popular questions.
People email me and they say, Rich is there an
app that can help clean up my phone? And on
the iPhone. I'll be honest, there's not an easy way
to do this when it comes to your overall phone.
But when it comes to your pictures and your videos,
there is a great app that I've discovered. It's called
(15:39):
Clever Cleaner. Do not go to the app store and
just search that, because I'm telling you everyone's like Rich
It's this app costs money. It's only free for a week.
You got to go to my website, Rich on tech
dot tv, go to the direct link. That way, you
don't get a scammy app. This one is completely free.
There are no ads, there's not even the option for
an app purchase, so it's almost too good to be true.
(16:01):
But basically, once you use this app, it will scan
your camera roll find the similar photos. It will find
what they call the heavies, which are the biggest files, screenshots, duplicates.
You can get rid of all of these things in seconds,
free up space not only on your phone, but also
if you're using iCloud, it'll then mirror those changes in
(16:21):
I Cloud free up your space. There might even save
you some money.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Okay, I think I'm doing that. This afternoon because I
know I got a lot of it.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And I know it's eating, or save it for Saturday night.
It's always fun to just you know, clean up your
phone on a Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Because you're saying that I have no social life. Thanks
a lot rich to Mirror.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I thought we were friends, okay, because me, you know,
I like to spend my Saturday night doing nothing.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Okay, let's talk.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
About And this has got to be a huge concern
for parents, and that is that their kids are getting
into AI and God knows what they're doing with it.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Oh my gosh. This is like, you know, like Google
was a problem back in the day, imagine AI, which
purports to be your friend and your confident on and
everything else in between. And so I'm sure you've reported
on the teen suicide in California. The parents are suing
chat GBT because the teen had many many interactions with
(17:18):
chatchubt over months. CHATCHBT did not flag any of those
conversations or get an expert involved or even tell the parents.
And so now they're changing their tune, rolling out new
safeguards over the next couple of months, and in the
next month specifically, I think parents are going to be
most interested in the fact that they will introduce parental
controls that let you link accounts with your kid, set
(17:40):
rules on what chatchubt can do with your kids, and
get notifications if the system the texts that your child
is in distress. Not going to be perfect. There's still
going to be you know, things that slip through the cracks.
But this is probably much better than what's happening right now.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Yeah, that sounds like a very cool thing.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Okay, am on Prime, which is still a great deal,
but they're taking away a really cool benefit, you.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Know, and it's interesting. A lot of people didn't even
know they had this benefit, but if you did, you
are very bummed right now because basically Amazon had this
deal where and I've talked about it like before, so
people that listened to me might have started and used this.
But basically you were able to share your Amazon Prime
with pretty much anyone you wanted to. So if amy,
(18:29):
if I said, if you said, oh I don't want
to pay for Amazon Prime, said here, I'll invite you
to my account, you would get your own account with
your own shipping, and it's all free and I'm paying
the monthly fee. So for the yearly fee. But now
they're ending that program. It's called the Prime Invitee program
that's ending on October first, and basically Amazon now says, nah,
(18:50):
you can't share your Prime benefits with someone that doesn't
live with you, some random person across the country that
you're splitting the fee with or whatever. And so now
it's only people inside your house. And by the way,
not even teenagers. Has to be one adult that you
live with, and then up to four kids teams have
to get their own account, which is you know, it's
a discounted account. But I'll be honest, I had like
(19:13):
two of my family members email me yesterday. They're like,
wait a second, am I losing my free Amazon Prime
through you. I'm like, wait a second, how long have
I been paying for your Amazon Prime. It's time for
you to get your own account. Not even my kids.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That's funny, Okay, So as your adults buy a lot
before October first, because then you're going to be cut off.
And the other question I had for you about that
is can I still use my account like to ship
to someone else's house?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Though yes, that was a big question. People are like,
wait a second, I can't send gifts anymore. You can
do whatever you want. But basically, if you wanted, let's
say you still wanted to share your account with someone,
they would have to physically log into your account, use
your card, you know all these like use your full
account because they can no longer have their own separate
account to just somehow magically. You know, you pay the fee,
(19:59):
they all the benefits. That's that's all. The free ride
is over us. I say, okay, uh that.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Good to know. Good to know. And then I wanted
to ask you this really quick.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Before we left yesterday, we talked to Mike Debuski with
ABC about sort of the techie aspects of that Wizard
of Oz show at the Sphere.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
But he hadn't seen it, and you just did.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And I want to get your You're not your techie necessarily,
but your just your take on it.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
It's wild. I mean it really is. So it don't
come for the movie storyline, Like if you're you're expecting to, like,
you know, watch Wizard of Oz and like understand the storyline,
which is fine, but we all know that this is
all about the experience. This is a giant dome. The
movie has been completely reimagined in a new way with
(20:47):
AI like you probably explained, but the physical plus the
giant screen. So we're talking the seats, rumble, the wind,
the audio. It snows in there, there's flying monkeys, there's
that fall from the sky, there's fire. I mean, it's
pretty wild, and the audience is a part of it,
and they're hooting and hollering and it was just so fun.
(21:10):
It's expensive, don't get me wrong, but it is a
completely new way to experience a movie that's so old.
You're like, wow, they came up with a whole brand
new way to experience this. How cool is that?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
See?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And that's a completely different take than the critics are
saying it's an abomination and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
So oh, critics, schmidticks, I know what they're talking about.
Yatched them and they sat there were they never even
smiled the whole time. Give me a break. We were
the regular people were loving this so much. It was
just wild. Now again, if you're a purist, you're a critic,
you're one of those people that goes in rotten tomatoes
and gives poop poos to everything, don't go see it.
But if you just want to have a good time
(21:49):
in Las Vegas. It's fun and you can afford it.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
All right, there you go. I love that that you
actually saw it, because I do the same thing. I go, oh,
maybe I won't see that the critics hated it, which
usually means I'm gonna like it.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
So yeah, like I critics have no bearing on my
life whatsoever. Like I'm sorry, but like I like the
Adam Sandler you know the uh oh, it's the last
one he just came out with that. I watched it
Happy Gilmore too, And yeah, like critics hated that. They
hate everything. It's their job to hate it, Okay.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Never a hater.

sued her. Ammani Ellis alleges Cardi B assaulted her in
(24:35):
Beverly Hills back in twenty eighteen, but the rapper has
always denied it.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
This time around, I'm gonna be nice.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
The next person to try to do a fervo list
lawsuit against me. I'm going to counter soon and I'm
gonna make you pay.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
During the lunch break, she threw a marker at a
man who shouted questions about whether she's pregnant and who
the father is. She called the questions disrespectful. Members of
Congress from California are pushing for a ban on mid
decade changes to voting districts. Republican Congressman Kevin Kylie wants
a vote on his bill to prevent mid decade redistricting.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
I have introduced House Resolution for eight eight nine to
protect the congressional map drawn by California's Citizens Commission and
to preserve the map of every state until the next census.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Kylie says the bill has bipartisan support and will prevent
chaotic redistricting from breaking out across the country. A man
from Alabama has been charged with making a series of
threats against a Catholic church in Silverado Canyon, Orange County
Sheriff's department says he had body armor, AMMO, brass knuckles
and knives in his car when he's arrested Thursday, a
day after two students were shot and killed at a
(25:44):
Catholic school in Minneapolis. Sheriff's officials say this guy had
emailed threats to Saint Michael's Abbey and then turned up
in person and made more threats.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
They say. A priest at the church reported the threats.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
A study by UC Berkeley shows communities around California can
reduce damage caused by wildfires by doing two things, some
hardening and creating defensible space. Home hardening means enhancing fire
resistance by using fire resistant materials and ember blocking vents.
Defensive space involves clearing nearby brush and vegetation that could
ignite Firefighters in one county in northern California have a
(26:20):
new tool to help fight wildfires. The Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District has bought six big containers called helopods
to hold water. Head of the district's helicopter program, Captain
Matt Depolo says they'll be a big time saver when
fighting fires.
Speaker 11 (26:35):
There's a lot of areas in our department where ten
or fifteen minute flight time from the fire to the
water means that twenty minute turnaround in between drops of water.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
One helopod can hold more than thirty seven hundred gallons
of water. Get all those tools in the tool chests,
we need them. Time to get in your business with
Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Morning, Courtney, good morning.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, I was just mentioning yesterday that now that Labor
Day is over, I can focus on Halloween.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
But you're gonna just skip right over that and go
to Christmas.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
You know what, New York City schools aren't even back yet,
so I'm gonna talk about Santa anyway. According to Price
waterhouse Coopers, spending this holiday season is expected to decline
due to rising prices and tariffs. Consumers expect to cut
their spending by about five percent compared to last year.
But keep this in mind, this would be the first
(27:29):
notable drop since the pandemic hit in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Also, retail sales have relatively.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Held up this year, but economists have expressed some caution
on signs of weakness in the job market. Look at
those jobs numbers so we had recently, and by the way,
coming up this Friday, we do have the big government jobs.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Report for August.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Okay, Lululemon is stealing a play from Nike's playbook.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yes, they're partnering with athletes to promote the brand. They're
betting on this roster to help pull the brand out
of a sales rut which it's been in for some time.
Tennis star Francis Tiafo wore Lululemon at the US Open.
Golfer Max Homa he sports the brand's gear on the
PGA Tour. They also signed Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton
(28:12):
as a brand ambassador. But they're trying to do something
because competition has been a lot tougher lately. We got
upstarts like Alo Yoga, and it's also trying to balance
tariff costs and maintain its bottom line.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Well, that's what I was going to say.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Lululemon also probably losing money because people are saying, Hey,
if I'm going to spend money, am I going to
spend it on my yoga pants or yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
You know, and they're expensive exactly.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
And as a result, because of this sales slowdown that
we've been seeing, the stock has fallen about fifty percent
this year.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yikes, okay. Target is being targeted by whom.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yes, the American Federation of Teachers, and they were seeing
a boycott against the retailer's decision to end some of
its diversity programs. But of course, back to school season
one of the busiest shopping periods for all of the retailers,
and it is a crucial time for Target. Which is
looking to reignite growth that's been falling behind rivals such
as Walmart. But Target is among several large companies that
(29:10):
have scaled back their diversity initiatives recently, and their stock
has dropped about thirty percent this year. Another one that's
taken a hit.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Okay, I think they've taken a double hit too, because
they kind of took a lot of heat for doing
the Dei stuff, and then they took another hit for
stopping the Dei stuff.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Exactly. You hit the nail right on the head. Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Back to school, as you mentioned, Macy's is a good
place for back to school.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yes, And Macy's this morning saying shoppers are still spending
despite all the concerns about inflation and tariffs. The department
store boosting its financial forecast for the year. That's sending
shaeres soaring in early trading. But the retailer has been
working on a turnaround. They're targeting some of their stores
that have had the most potential with upgrades. They're having
(29:58):
more staff in the stores. They are also improving their
displays too. But they're also closing about one hundred and
fifty under performing locations through next year.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Girls, gotta have your closes. Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Shares of Google's parent company are soaring. How come yeah,
escored a major win. Google will have to share some
of its.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Search data with competitors, but but a federal judge ruled
will not have to sell its popular Chrome web browser.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Oh right or yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
One of the most monumental court decisions affecting the tech
sector in more than a quarter century. So we are
seeing shares of Google parent Alphabet jumping. That's giving a
lift overall to stocks this morning. S and P futures
they're up twenty two points. However, Dow futures they are
lowered down one hundred and five. But yesterday Wall Street
started the new trading month on a down note. We
(30:47):
had rough factory activity numbers shrinking in August. For six month,
the Dow fell two hundred and forty nine points.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
All right, getting in your business like we do every
day with Bloomberg's Courtney donahoe. We'll do it again tomorrow,
Thanks Courtney, see you later, all right. Tow truck driver
from South LA is facing federal charges after allegedly interfering
with an immigration arrest in downtown LA. Prosecutors say Bobby

has formed off the coast of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula.
(31:37):
It's expected to strengthen in the next twenty four hours.
The tropical storm warning has been issued for parts of
southwestern Mexico and the peninsula. Let's say good morning now
two the American Gaming Association's President and CEO, Bill Miller.
Speaker 12 (31:51):
Good morning Bill, Good morning Amy. How are you today?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Doing great?
Speaker 8 (31:55):
So?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
The NFL season kicks off tomorrow, the Eagles hosting the
Dallas Cowboys, and there's a lot of people who are
going to be making bets on these on these games.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
What are we talking about as far as betting?
Speaker 11 (32:10):
Well, first, thanks for having me on this morning, and
it is really exciting. Anytime the NFL season starts is
a great thing for us in the in the gaming space.
What we're seeing is in research that we released earlier
this week shows that about thirty billion dollars will be
wagered this year legally on sports in the US, and
(32:35):
that's up about eight and a half percent from last year.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
And do your.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Studies or analyses show why they're expecting a jump of
that much, Well, a great question.
Speaker 11 (32:50):
You know, the sports betting is regulated at state level. Unfortunately,
right now in California there is no legal sports betting,
but we're hopeful.
Speaker 12 (33:00):
That it gets there at some point in the near future.
Speaker 11 (33:03):
But I would say that the most important reason that
the continued growth is people want.
Speaker 12 (33:09):
To have fun. They're sports fans.
Speaker 11 (33:10):
They've seen now we've been we've had legal sports betting
in America other than Nevada only for about seven years.
And people who gravitated it because gravitated towards it because
it's a fun way to enhance that sports fans experience.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Yeah, it is. It is a lot of fun when
you know you've got a little a little.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Skin in the game and are when you're talking about
the sports betting, is it the traditional like you know
who's going to win the Eagles or the Cowboys or
is it also all kinds of different bets or.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Do you track that?
Speaker 11 (33:44):
We do track that, And what we are seeing is
that you know the sports better. You know, certainly you
know the traditional dynamic of you know who which team
is going to cover a particular spread is still the
kind of one of the baseline bets, and then the
over under a total number of points scored. But then
what people have really started to gravitate towards is you know,
(34:07):
how is a particular player going to do? How is
a quarterback going to how many? How many touchdowns is
it going to throw? Is there you know a kicker?
Is it going to make more or less field goals?
And so we are starting to see more interesting bets
that are based around one the team overall performance. But
also Americans love their stars too, and they love the
(34:29):
stars in the sports, and so we're starting to see
more of those.
Speaker 12 (34:32):
Bets, and that is that does account for.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Some of the growth, and Bill is it some of
those are like individuals because I know that my friend's
in a fantasy league, so she's always watching all of
her individual players. But now you can make a bet
just like say I love this player and so I
want to make a bet on them, when you don't
have to do the whole fantasy league.
Speaker 12 (34:51):
That's that's correct.
Speaker 11 (34:52):
Obviously, it has to be in a jurisdiction that has
that has those legal bets. But most of the legal
you know, almost all of the legal jurisdictions do have
bets that you can make on particular players and those
sorts of things, and so it might be, you know,
is a particular quarterback going to throw for more or
less than two hundred and seventy yards and things like that,
(35:13):
and so it's been, you know, a really exciting development
as we continue to further mainstream sports betting. And I
think that you know, obviously the American public they love
sports and they love betting on sports.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yes, yes they do. And sometimes people take it a
little too far. So we should probably mention that September
is Responsible Gaming Education months.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
So what's that about, Well, thank you for bringing that up.
Speaker 11 (35:40):
It's so so important our operators take responsibility very very seriously.
We're licensed operators, and those licenses are it could be
at risk if we don't behave in a way that
we intend to and so our operators this allowed Responsible
Gaming Education Month allows us to continue to demonstrate that
(36:02):
responsibility to the public that we serve and ensure that
the betters importantly understand their responsibility, and part of that
is to make sure that they're having fun. There's no
way that there are very very few people in America
that can make a living or a second job as
a sports betting sharp, and so people should remember this
(36:25):
is about fun. It's not a second job, and that
if you think about what does that mean, it's have
a game plan, it's have a budget, stick to the budget,
make sure that what you're doing, you understand that this
is fun and that at the end of the day,
you want to know your odds. You want to know
that if you're actually going to bet on a parlay
(36:47):
that involves two, three, or four things, that all four
of those things have to happen in order to get paid,
that you're betting reasonable and small amounts on something like that.
So Responsible Gaming Education Month gives us an opportunity to,
you know, make sure that people understand that our industry
wants people to bet responsibly, wants people to have fun,
(37:11):
and to the degree that people ever have problems. And
there's always a small number of people that have problems
with with gaming or other things that you know that
they one connect with have a gameplan dot org and
if they actually have a problem that they go to
one eight hundred gambler to get assistance.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
Okay, and for more information, what's that website again?
Speaker 11 (37:33):
Well, have a gameplan dot org or one eight hundred gambler.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
All right, that's the American Gaming Association President and CEO
Bill Miller.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Thanks so much, Thank.
Speaker 12 (37:43):
You so much for having me.

The world's wealthy are already snapping up luxury accommodations ahead
of the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympic Games in La.
The games are still three years away, but the rich
have been making reservations. The most luxurious rentals, offered by
a company called lux JB, go for three hundred thousand
dollars a month. The least expensive leases for about twenty
(05:16):
five thousand a month, at least through that company and
they're already being reserved. Let's say good morning now to
kfi's White House correspondent John Decker. So, John, you were
with the President in the Oval yesterday when he had
his big announcement. He teased it early and was very
secretive about it, but we quickly found out that Space
(05:39):
Command is moving to Huntsville, Alabama.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
Yeah, from Colorado. If you had me on your show
yesterday around this time, a lot of speculation what it
was going to be about the big announcement, I would
have told you that it was going to be about this.
So that's a word to the wise book me and
you'll get some scoops like some other stations did yesterday.
In any case, the President announcing this big decision with
(06:03):
the entire Republican congressional delegation from Alabama on hand. Obviously,
the Colorado congressional delegation not pleased by this. In fact,
they put out a joint statement criticizing this decision. But
the presidents saying this will create a significant number of
jobs in Alabama. It will lead to four hundred and
twenty six million dollars in cost savings for two tax payers.
(06:27):
And I asked the President about whether or not, this
provides a strategic advantage for the United States, and he
explained why, as did Defense Secretary Pete Hagsat And what
did they say, Well, they both explained that because of
the fact that Huntsville is also home to a significant
amount of NASA personnel, there will be some advantages by
(06:51):
having Space Command based in Huntsville, Alabama. They certainly are
a community that is used to being in the spotlight
as it relates to space issues. And you know, for
those reasons, I think that the personnel that will be
coming to Alabama to be a part of US Space
Command will certainly benefit by being in a place that
(07:14):
is used to this type of work.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Okay, and this was how long has it been in Colorado?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
You know, well since the Biden administration, so for a
few years. So there will be an opportunity for those
that are working for Space Command in Colorado Springs to
move essentially, you know, halfway across the country to Huntsville,
Alabama for jobs that will be waiting for them there. Otherwise,
(07:42):
you know that there will be an opportunity for others
to participate and contribute to a very important aspect of
US defense policy.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Okay, And then after he made his big announcement about that,
of course, he opened it up to reporters for questions
as he always does, and somebody asked him about the
rumors that he had died over the weekend.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
Yeah. I don't think the President liked that question, to
be quite honest. I was just literally three feet away
from the president when he was asked that question. You know,
he called it fake news, and it was indeed fake news.
You know, the President had not had a public appearance
literally in one week since that very long cabinet meeting
that he had the week prior, but he you know,
(08:26):
went out golfing this past weekend during the Labor Day weekend.
He just hadn't had any major public events. And I
can recall lots of times when that happened during the
administration of President Joe Biden. The days would go by
sometimes in which we would not even see President Joe Biden.
So I guess people want to see and here from
(08:49):
President Donald Trump every day and that's led that led,
of course to some of those rumors.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, I think because you know, they're used to seeing him.
Like you said, you'd go for long stretches with under
the Biden administration where you wouldn't see the president, but
Trump's seems to always be in front of the cameras.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
So when he.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Goes and goes golfing and stuff on the weekend, do
reporters like, do you go with him or is that
private time for him?
Speaker 8 (09:12):
Well, if you are in the pool, and I've been
in the pool, you know it's a rotation. I've been
in the pool a few times this administration and many
times in his first administration. On those weekends when he
goes golfing and we go out to the Trump National
Golf Club, which is in northern Virginia. We drive out
there in a motorcade, and then while the president golf's
(09:33):
we're not following him around for all eighteen holes. We're
stuck in the tennis clubhouse and we just wait for
him to finish his round of golf before we head
back to the White House. So that's what pool duty,
as it's known, is like. When you're out there when
the president wants to go golfing on the weekends.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Sounds like a lot of fun. John, Hey, I know
you got to run. I know you got to run.
What's on tap for the president today?
Speaker 8 (09:59):
The President in his meeting with his counterpart from Poland,
Poland's new president, that will be in just a few hours.
The President will welcome him to the Oval Office. We'll
have a bilateral meeting, a working lunch in the cabinet
room as well, and certainly the war in Ukraine will
be a top issue on the agenda during that meeting.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
All right, White House correspondent for kfive, John Decker, thank you.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
As always, We'll talk to you again soon.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A federal appeals
court has ruled President Trump cannot use in eighteenth century
wartime law to speed up the deportations of people accused
of being Venezuelan gang members. The three judge panel of

Modern dating has gone to the dogs, or maybe actually
to the green ogres.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Ugly, well, you are angill, lie, you are ugly.
Speaker 10 (13:14):
Shreking is when you date a person you're not attracted to,
thinking that ugly person will be appreciative and treat you better.

Experts. A.
Speaker 10 (13:21):
Dating is part of public conversation more now because of
social media and shreking maybe a new term, but it's
not new to think someone you lower your standards for
will treat you better. When you date down and looks
and you're still treated badly, that's called getting shreked.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Experts E.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
People who've been shreked shouldn't just go back to dating
only hot people, but look for people with character, values
and emotional availability, regardless of how hot or hideous the

Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
On Tech on ko Fie. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Morning, Rich, Good morning to you.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Amy. Okay, so I've had this happen before where your
phone starts to get glitchy and slow and doesn't do
everything because the storage is getting too full.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
But you have an app that can help us with that.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yes, and this is literally one of the most popular questions.
People email me and they say, Rich is there an
app that can help clean up my phone? And on
the iPhone. I'll be honest, there's not an easy way
to do this when it comes to your overall phone.
But when it comes to your pictures and your videos,
there is a great app that I've discovered. It's called
(15:39):
Clever Cleaner. Do not go to the app store and
just search that, because I'm telling you everyone's like Rich
It's this app costs money. It's only free for a week.
You got to go to my website, Rich on tech
dot tv, go to the direct link. That way, you
don't get a scammy app. This one is completely free.
There are no ads, there's not even the option for
an app purchase, so it's almost too good to be true.
(16:01):
But basically, once you use this app, it will scan
your camera roll find the similar photos. It will find
what they call the heavies, which are the biggest files, screenshots, duplicates.
You can get rid of all of these things in seconds,
free up space not only on your phone, but also
if you're using iCloud, it'll then mirror those changes in
(16:21):
I Cloud free up your space. There might even save
you some money.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Okay, I think I'm doing that. This afternoon because I
know I got a lot of it.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And I know it's eating, or save it for Saturday night.
It's always fun to just you know, clean up your
phone on a Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Because you're saying that I have no social life. Thanks
a lot rich to Mirror.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I thought we were friends, okay, because me, you know,
I like to spend my Saturday night doing nothing.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Okay, let's talk.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
About And this has got to be a huge concern
for parents, and that is that their kids are getting
into AI and God knows what they're doing with it.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Oh my gosh. This is like, you know, like Google
was a problem back in the day, imagine AI, which
purports to be your friend and your confident on and
everything else in between. And so I'm sure you've reported
on the teen suicide in California. The parents are suing
chat GBT because the teen had many many interactions with
(17:18):
chatchubt over months. CHATCHBT did not flag any of those
conversations or get an expert involved or even tell the parents.
And so now they're changing their tune, rolling out new
safeguards over the next couple of months, and in the
next month specifically, I think parents are going to be
most interested in the fact that they will introduce parental
controls that let you link accounts with your kid, set
(17:40):
rules on what chatchubt can do with your kids, and
get notifications if the system the texts that your child
is in distress. Not going to be perfect. There's still
going to be you know, things that slip through the cracks.
But this is probably much better than what's happening right now.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Yeah, that sounds like a very cool thing.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Okay, am on Prime, which is still a great deal,
but they're taking away a really cool benefit, you.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Know, and it's interesting. A lot of people didn't even
know they had this benefit, but if you did, you
are very bummed right now because basically Amazon had this
deal where and I've talked about it like before, so
people that listened to me might have started and used this.
But basically you were able to share your Amazon Prime
with pretty much anyone you wanted to. So if amy,
(18:29):
if I said, if you said, oh I don't want
to pay for Amazon Prime, said here, I'll invite you
to my account, you would get your own account with
your own shipping, and it's all free and I'm paying
the monthly fee. So for the yearly fee. But now
they're ending that program. It's called the Prime Invitee program
that's ending on October first, and basically Amazon now says, nah,
(18:50):
you can't share your Prime benefits with someone that doesn't
live with you, some random person across the country that
you're splitting the fee with or whatever. And so now
it's only people inside your house. And by the way,
not even teenagers. Has to be one adult that you
live with, and then up to four kids teams have
to get their own account, which is you know, it's
a discounted account. But I'll be honest, I had like
(19:13):
two of my family members email me yesterday. They're like,
wait a second, am I losing my free Amazon Prime
through you. I'm like, wait a second, how long have
I been paying for your Amazon Prime. It's time for
you to get your own account. Not even my kids.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That's funny, Okay, So as your adults buy a lot
before October first, because then you're going to be cut off.
And the other question I had for you about that
is can I still use my account like to ship
to someone else's house?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Though yes, that was a big question. People are like,
wait a second, I can't send gifts anymore. You can
do whatever you want. But basically, if you wanted, let's
say you still wanted to share your account with someone,
they would have to physically log into your account, use
your card, you know all these like use your full
account because they can no longer have their own separate
account to just somehow magically. You know, you pay the fee,
(19:59):
they all the benefits. That's that's all. The free ride
is over us. I say, okay, uh that.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Good to know. Good to know. And then I wanted
to ask you this really quick.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Before we left yesterday, we talked to Mike Debuski with
ABC about sort of the techie aspects of that Wizard
of Oz show at the Sphere.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
But he hadn't seen it, and you just did.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And I want to get your You're not your techie necessarily,
but your just your take on it.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
It's wild. I mean it really is. So it don't
come for the movie storyline, Like if you're you're expecting to, like,
you know, watch Wizard of Oz and like understand the storyline,
which is fine, but we all know that this is
all about the experience. This is a giant dome. The
movie has been completely reimagined in a new way with
(20:47):
AI like you probably explained, but the physical plus the
giant screen. So we're talking the seats, rumble, the wind,
the audio. It snows in there, there's flying monkeys, there's
that fall from the sky, there's fire. I mean, it's
pretty wild, and the audience is a part of it,
and they're hooting and hollering and it was just so fun.
(21:10):
It's expensive, don't get me wrong, but it is a
completely new way to experience a movie that's so old.
You're like, wow, they came up with a whole brand
new way to experience this. How cool is that?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
See?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And that's a completely different take than the critics are
saying it's an abomination and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
So oh, critics, schmidticks, I know what they're talking about.
Yatched them and they sat there were they never even
smiled the whole time. Give me a break. We were
the regular people were loving this so much. It was
just wild. Now again, if you're a purist, you're a critic,
you're one of those people that goes in rotten tomatoes
and gives poop poos to everything, don't go see it.
But if you just want to have a good time
(21:49):
in Las Vegas. It's fun and you can afford it.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
All right, there you go. I love that that you
actually saw it, because I do the same thing. I go, oh,
maybe I won't see that the critics hated it, which
usually means I'm gonna like it.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
So yeah, like I critics have no bearing on my
life whatsoever. Like I'm sorry, but like I like the
Adam Sandler you know the uh oh, it's the last
one he just came out with that. I watched it
Happy Gilmore too, And yeah, like critics hated that. They
hate everything. It's their job to hate it, Okay.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Never a hater.

from Alabama has been charged with making a series of
threats against a Catholic church in Silverado Canyon, Orange County
Sheriff's department says he had body armor, AMMO, brass knuckles

A study by UC Berkeley shows communities around California can
reduce damage caused by wildfires by doing two things, some
hardening and creating defensible space. Home hardening means enhancing fire
resistance by using fire resistant materials and ember blocking vents.
Defensive space involves clearing nearby brush and vegetation that could
ignite Firefighters in one county in northern California have a
(26:20):
new tool to help fight wildfires. The Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District has bought six big containers called helopods
to hold water. Head of the district's helicopter program, Captain
Matt Depolo says they'll be a big time saver when
fighting fires.
Speaker 11 (26:35):
There's a lot of areas in our department where ten
or fifteen minute flight time from the fire to the
water means that twenty minute turnaround in between drops of water.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
One helopod can hold more than thirty seven hundred gallons
of water. Get all those tools in the tool chests,
we need them. Time to get in your business with
Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Morning, Courtney, good morning.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, I was just mentioning yesterday that now that Labor
Day is over, I can focus on Halloween.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
But you're gonna just skip right over that and go
to Christmas.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
You know what, New York City schools aren't even back yet,
so I'm gonna talk about Santa anyway. According to Price
waterhouse Coopers, spending this holiday season is expected to decline
due to rising prices and tariffs. Consumers expect to cut
their spending by about five percent compared to last year.
But keep this in mind, this would be the first
(27:29):
notable drop since the pandemic hit in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Also, retail sales have relatively.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Held up this year, but economists have expressed some caution
on signs of weakness in the job market. Look at
those jobs numbers so we had recently, and by the way,
coming up this Friday, we do have the big government jobs.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Report for August.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Okay, Lululemon is stealing a play from Nike's playbook.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yes, they're partnering with athletes to promote the brand. They're
betting on this roster to help pull the brand out
of a sales rut which it's been in for some time.
Tennis star Francis Tiafo wore Lululemon at the US Open.
Golfer Max Homa he sports the brand's gear on the
PGA Tour. They also signed Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton
(28:12):
as a brand ambassador. But they're trying to do something
because competition has been a lot tougher lately. We got
upstarts like Alo Yoga, and it's also trying to balance
tariff costs and maintain its bottom line.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Well, that's what I was going to say.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Lululemon also probably losing money because people are saying, Hey,
if I'm going to spend money, am I going to
spend it on my yoga pants or yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
You know, and they're expensive exactly.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
And as a result, because of this sales slowdown that
we've been seeing, the stock has fallen about fifty percent
this year.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yikes, okay. Target is being targeted by whom.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yes, the American Federation of Teachers, and they were seeing
a boycott against the retailer's decision to end some of
its diversity programs. But of course, back to school season
one of the busiest shopping periods for all of the retailers,
and it is a crucial time for Target. Which is
looking to reignite growth that's been falling behind rivals such
as Walmart. But Target is among several large companies that
(29:10):
have scaled back their diversity initiatives recently, and their stock
has dropped about thirty percent this year. Another one that's
taken a hit.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Okay, I think they've taken a double hit too, because
they kind of took a lot of heat for doing
the Dei stuff, and then they took another hit for
stopping the Dei stuff.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Exactly. You hit the nail right on the head. Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Back to school, as you mentioned, Macy's is a good
place for back to school.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yes, And Macy's this morning saying shoppers are still spending
despite all the concerns about inflation and tariffs. The department
store boosting its financial forecast for the year. That's sending
shaeres soaring in early trading. But the retailer has been
working on a turnaround. They're targeting some of their stores
that have had the most potential with upgrades. They're having
(29:58):
more staff in the stores. They are also improving their
displays too. But they're also closing about one hundred and
fifty under performing locations through next year.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Girls, gotta have your closes. Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Shares of Google's parent company are soaring. How come yeah,

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Oh right or yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
One of the most monumental court decisions affecting the tech
sector in more than a quarter century. So we are
seeing shares of Google parent Alphabet jumping. That's giving a
lift overall to stocks this morning. S and P futures
they're up twenty two points. However, Dow futures they are
lowered down one hundred and five. But yesterday Wall Street
started the new trading month on a down note. We
(30:47):
had rough factory activity numbers shrinking in August. For six month,
the Dow fell two hundred and forty nine points.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
All right, getting in your business like we do every
day with Bloomberg's Courtney donahoe. We'll do it again tomorrow,
Thanks Courtney, see you later, all right. Tow truck driver
from South LA is facing federal charges after allegedly interfering

two the American Gaming Association's President and CEO, Bill Miller.
Speaker 12 (31:51):
Good morning Bill, Good morning Amy. How are you today?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Doing great?
Speaker 8 (31:55):
So?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
The NFL season kicks off tomorrow, the Eagles hosting the
Dallas Cowboys, and there's a lot of people who are
going to be making bets on these on these games.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
What are we talking about as far as betting?
Speaker 11 (32:10):
Well, first, thanks for having me on this morning, and
it is really exciting. Anytime the NFL season starts is
a great thing for us in the in the gaming space.
What we're seeing is in research that we released earlier
this week shows that about thirty billion dollars will be
wagered this year legally on sports in the US, and
(32:35):
that's up about eight and a half percent from last year.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
And do your.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Studies or analyses show why they're expecting a jump of
that much, Well, a great question.
Speaker 11 (32:50):
You know, the sports betting is regulated at state level. Unfortunately,
right now in California there is no legal sports betting,
but we're hopeful.
Speaker 12 (33:00):
That it gets there at some point in the near future.
Speaker 11 (33:03):
But I would say that the most important reason that
the continued growth is people want.
Speaker 12 (33:09):
To have fun. They're sports fans.
Speaker 11 (33:10):
They've seen now we've been we've had legal sports betting
in America other than Nevada only for about seven years.
And people who gravitated it because gravitated towards it because
it's a fun way to enhance that sports fans experience.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Yeah, it is. It is a lot of fun when
you know you've got a little a little.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Skin in the game and are when you're talking about
the sports betting, is it the traditional like you know
who's going to win the Eagles or the Cowboys or
is it also all kinds of different bets or.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Do you track that?
Speaker 11 (33:44):
We do track that, And what we are seeing is
that you know the sports better. You know, certainly you
know the traditional dynamic of you know who which team
is going to cover a particular spread is still the
kind of one of the baseline bets, and then the
over under a total number of points scored. But then
what people have really started to gravitate towards is you know,
(34:07):
how is a particular player going to do? How is
a quarterback going to how many? How many touchdowns is
it going to throw? Is there you know a kicker?
Is it going to make more or less field goals?
And so we are starting to see more interesting bets
that are based around one the team overall performance. But
also Americans love their stars too, and they love the
(34:29):
stars in the sports, and so we're starting to see
more of those.
Speaker 12 (34:32):
Bets, and that is that does account for.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Some of the growth, and Bill is it some of
those are like individuals because I know that my friend's
in a fantasy league, so she's always watching all of
her individual players. But now you can make a bet
just like say I love this player and so I
want to make a bet on them, when you don't
have to do the whole fantasy league.
Speaker 12 (34:51):
That's that's correct.
Speaker 11 (34:52):
Obviously, it has to be in a jurisdiction that has
that has those legal bets. But most of the legal
you know, almost all of the legal jurisdictions do have
bets that you can make on particular players and those
sorts of things, and so it might be, you know,
is a particular quarterback going to throw for more or
less than two hundred and seventy yards and things like that,
(35:13):
and so it's been, you know, a really exciting development
as we continue to further mainstream sports betting. And I
think that you know, obviously the American public they love
sports and they love betting on sports.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yes, yes they do. And sometimes people take it a
little too far. So we should probably mention that September
is Responsible Gaming Education months.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
So what's that about, Well, thank you for bringing that up.
Speaker 11 (35:40):
It's so so important our operators take responsibility very very seriously.
We're licensed operators, and those licenses are it could be
at risk if we don't behave in a way that
we intend to and so our operators this allowed Responsible
Gaming Education Month allows us to continue to demonstrate that
(36:02):
responsibility to the public that we serve and ensure that
the betters importantly understand their responsibility, and part of that
is to make sure that they're having fun. There's no
way that there are very very few people in America
that can make a living or a second job as
a sports betting sharp, and so people should remember this
(36:25):
is about fun. It's not a second job, and that
if you think about what does that mean, it's have
a game plan, it's have a budget, stick to the budget,
make sure that what you're doing, you understand that this
is fun and that at the end of the day,
you want to know your odds. You want to know
that if you're actually going to bet on a parlay
(36:47):
that involves two, three, or four things, that all four
of those things have to happen in order to get paid,
that you're betting reasonable and small amounts on something like that.
So Responsible Gaming Education Month gives us an opportunity to,
you know, make sure that people understand that our industry
wants people to bet responsibly, wants people to have fun,
(37:11):
and to the degree that people ever have problems. And
there's always a small number of people that have problems
with with gaming or other things that you know that
they one connect with have a gameplan dot org and
if they actually have a problem that they go to
one eight hundred gambler to get assistance.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
Okay, and for more information, what's that website again?

Well, have a gameplan dot org or one eight hundred gambler.
