All the news channels, everybody will Cole Schreiper does not care.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I said, I mean, I'm glad for them, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I'm happy for him. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's weird
because they live their lives so publicly. I mean, it
makes sense that we would be talking about it. But
they posted those photos yesterday. The picture has got twenty
seven million lights. Oh, she has just a couple of fans.
I guess apparently the engagement happened two weeks ago. They
(02:03):
let it out when they wanted to let it out.
Like everything, Taylor is so good at like planning stuff
and scheming things. I mean, she's just great at it.
She's absolutely great at it. That dress that she was wearing,
the little black and white striped Ralph Lauren, sold out
in minutes, sure, minutes after they announcement, And I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Chiefs fans are just like, Okay, that's fine, nothing goes
wrong with the season.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Though I know somebody's like, why did they announce it now?
He needs to get his head in the game. Blah
blah blah. And did you know that USA Today even
has a Taylor Swift reporter, Brian West. That's his beat. Okay, Yeah,
if you have anything to say about it, we'd love
to hear. I mean, like, do you want to hear
more about it? We can talk more about it. We
(02:49):
can talk about it all hour long if you want to.
But if you want to talk about it, or wish
them well, or tell them go to hell, you know,
whatever you want to do, hit us up on the top.
It's on the iHeartRadio app and on the screen on
the upper right hand corner there's a little microphone and
we'd love to hear what you have to say one
way or the other. Just if you're going to be
a hater, don't be too mean about it, you know how.
(03:12):
I like niceness.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Nice, nice.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
All right, here's what's ahead on wake up Call. Police
are still looking for at least three people involved in
a shooting at a strip mall in South LA. Four
men and a woman were shot in the Vermont Noles
area yesterday afternoon. One of them is in critical condition.
The shooters took off in cars. Homicides are down in
LA this year, but shootings involving police officers are up.
(03:36):
LAPD Chief McDonnell says homicides dropped nearly twenty eight percent
compared to this time last year, but police shootings have
jumped from nineteen last year to thirty so far this year.
The chief blames the rise on a growing number of
suspects who are confronting officers and have guns. Apple plans
to unveil its new iPhone seventeen and a new lineup
(03:56):
of Apple Watches. The launch is going to be held
on September ninth, the company says on the website to
on the invite to media rather that it will be
awe dropping. The event's going to be live streamed, and
KTLA's tech reporter Rich Damia's going to join us give
us a little sneak peek at that. And speaking of sneaking,
(04:17):
is Facebook sneaking into your Facebook photos? Hmm? Ritual also
give us an update on that. That's coming up at
five twenty. Those who forget are destined to repeat the past.
You've probably heard that at some point. Well, there's a
new online photo video exhibit that aims to make sure
you don't forget about what happened to hundreds of thousands
of people sent to Japanese internment camps here in the US.
(04:40):
Really interesting, fascinating stuff that's coming up at five point fifty.
Amy's on it. An actor who just can't stay out
of the er, and that's a really good thing. We'll
tell you about that at the bottom of the hour.
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. LA Mayor Bas
says that shooting at a strip mall in South La
has disrupted the piece but will not be tolerated. Five
(05:01):
people were shot yesterday afternoon. The LAPD says it could
have been gang related. Bass says the LAPD will step
up its presence in South LA.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
I'm confident though, that we will find the perpetrators of
this crime and hold them accountable.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
She says.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Community violins interventionists are working to de escalate community tensions.
The missing seven month old boy from Riverside County may
have been killed up to nine days before he was
reported kidnapped in Yukaipa.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
That's according to court documents released on Tuesday, when Emmanuel
Hero's mother and father were formally charged with murder and
filing a false police report. The Heroes appeared in court
without representation after previously having an attorney speaking on their behalf.
Last weekend, Janke Harrow was seen helping authorities search for
the boys remains, which have still not been found. Rebecca
(05:50):
Harrow is sticking with her story, still claiming the baby
was kidnapped outside of a sporting good store. Mark Mayfield
Kofi News.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
The Riverside County DA and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's
Department are expected to release information about the case later
this morning. Fourteen people have been arrested as part of
an alleged retail theft crime ring targeting dozens of home depots.
LA County DA Nathan Hockman says law enforcement agencies across
southern California helped to execute Operation kill Switch.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Because there is no more daylight between the different counties.
That daylight is gone. There's no more daylight in law
enforcement efforts. That's gone, and there's certainly no daylight in
District Attorney's offices prosecution efforts that has gone as well.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
The alleged thieves stole more than ten million dollars worth
of goods from seventy one home depot stores. Those items
were then resold online.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But I can see is lost dollar and has lived away.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It's inside because.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It was never mine.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
How About twenty seven million people have liked the post
on Instagram announcing the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
Swift wrote on the post yesterday, your English teacher and
your Jim teacher are getting married. They don't get that. Yes,
but I'm not a swiftie, so that makes sense. Wedding
planner Tracy French says, everybody's going to be watching what
(07:19):
the pop star wears and what songs will play at
the wedding.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
You know, people love a love story and so everybody's excited,
I think, to see these two get married.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
She says. The wedding choices will set trends for other brides.
You think. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen.
President Trump, who's been pushing for interest rate cuts, has
fired Federal Reserve Board of Governor's member Lisa Cook. But
Lisa Cook says she's not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
She says she's not going because she says the President
doesn't have the power to fire her. The law does
say the president can fire a FED Board governor for cause.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Congress never defined that term.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And now the question is, all right, Justices of the
Supreme Court, is this legal or not. It's going to
take some time to get that far. But the reason
this is likely to wind up before the Supreme Court
is because the Court said in an order in May
of this year that while the president may have the
power to remove members of the National Labor Relations Board,
the Consumer Product Safety Commission, or other federal agencies that
(08:22):
sort of exert executive power.
Speaker 9 (08:25):
The FED is different.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
The Court didn't explain exactly what it meant by the
difference there, but in a single sentence, the Supreme Court
said in May, the Federal Reserve is uniquely structured, that
it's a quasi private entity that follows in the distinct
historical tradition of the First and Second Banks of the
United States, which obviously, I mean you remember from sophomore
year US history. But the whole point is that this
(08:50):
is going to be something for the Supreme Court to decide.
The allegation, of course, is that Lisa Cook committed mortgage
fraud by signing two closing documents in the summer of
twenty twenty one on two separate properties, one in Michigan,
the other in Georgia, which, according to the Trump administration,
she filed as primary residences. Both can't be primary residences.
(09:12):
So the question is did she commit mortgage fraud. That's
not been proven in court. In fact, she's not charged
with a crime. It's just been sort of leveled an
allegation aired publicly by the head of the Federal Housing
Finance Administration, which is led by a man in Bill Poulty,
who is a longtime Trump loyalist, and he's been leveling
allegations of mortgage fraud. The President was asked yesterday whether
(09:33):
he has essentially henchmen and his own administration going digging
for dirt on his political opponents or people he'd like
to pressure. The President said, no, it's all public. You
could be doing the digging too. I don't know that
mortgage applications are public. Certainly the government regulator would have
access to it, but that suggests that they went on
a fishing expedition. You can look up deeds of trust,
(09:53):
but I don't know that it would necessarily contain the
information that the government is now putting public. So lots
of questions here, but ultimately this will have to be
settled in court.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Okay, I have so many more questions, and you don't
have the time, so we'll have to catch up on
it another day. But thanks for helping us figure this
one out. It's just interesting these things that keep coming up.
Thank you, Steven Portinoy.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
You bet.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Tariffs on India
have increased to fifty percent effective today. The President had
threatened to double the tariffs because India is still buying
oil from Russia. The US and India have not yet
reached a trade deal. Vice President JD Vance told Meet
the Press that the US was applying aggressive economic leverage
(10:37):
on India to make it harder for Russia to fuel
its economy by selling its oil. A US tariff exemption
for small stuff is about to end.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
Low value imports are losing their duty free status in
the US this week as part of President Trump's agenda
for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods. A
widely used customs exemption for an international shipment's worth eight
hundred dollars or less said to end starting Friday. Purchases
that previously entered the US without needing to clear customs
will be subject to the origin country's tariff rate, which
(11:09):
can range from ten percent to fifty percent.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Deborah Mark kf I News. The US Attorney's Office in
the District of Columbia has arrested eight people in connection
with a drug trafficking organization that has links to California.
ABC's Michelle Fransen says they've been selling PCP and fentanel.
US attorney for Washington d C. Janine Piro, says officers
found a fentanyl pill press along with cocaine and cocaine
(11:34):
base crack. She says the drug ring sourced its narcotics
in Baltimore and Los Angeles. The Israeli military says its
recent strike on a hospital in Gaza that killed twenty
people was targeting what was believed to be a hamas
surveillance camera. Witnesses and health officials say the strike killed
a cameraman from the Reuters news agency who was doing
(11:56):
a live TV shot. Several journalists were also killed. Denmark's
foreign minister says he wants to talk to the top
US diplomat in the country after getting a report that
people connected to President Trump have been trying to influence
people in Greenland. Danish broadcaster dr says at least three
Americans have been putting together lists of people in Greenland
(12:19):
who are friendly to the US and could help influence
local politics. Both Denmark and Greenland have said Greenland is
not for sale, despite President Trump's interest in taking control
of the territory. Wild fires in Europe are setting new records.
ABC's and As de la Caaterra says fires have burned
about two and a half million acres across the European
Union this year.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
This summer, fires were reported everywhere from France, Spain, Portugal, Grease,
the Balkans and Turkey.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Fire season is expected to last for another month. She
says that's the biggest area recorded since tracking fires first
started in two thousand and six. Disney is suing Dish
Network over several new packages offered by Sling.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
TV, the internet TV service. Sling recently introduced passes that
let customers pay for a week, weekend, or even a
single day of live TV. Disney's now suing Dish Network,
which owns Slang, claiming that violates Disney's programming distribution agreements.
Slang customers are currently able to watch Disney and ESPN
programming through monthly subscription plans, and Disney claims any shorter
(13:21):
subscription violates the agreement between it and Dish Network. Mark
Ronner KFI News.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You could have hair in your toothpaste on purpose.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Give me a head with hair.
Speaker 11 (13:34):
Beautiful hair scientists say a protein found in hair, skin,
and wool has been found to prepare damage to teeth
and stop the early stages of decay. Keratin is often
used in shampoos to prepare damaged hair, but mixed with saliva,
it produces a protective coating like enamel. Fluoride is currently
used in water and toothpaste to slow enamel erosion, but
keraten stops erosion completely and can even heal micro cracks
(13:57):
and small defects. Researchers say the hair toothpaste could ready
for the public and a couple of years. They're using
sheep's wool right now, but in the future people could
extract the carratin from their own hair. Michael Krozier, k
if I us.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Hair between your teeth and yeah, that's interesting. That's really interesting.
We were asking what you have to think to say
about the big Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey engagement and if
you would like to weigh in, hit us up on
the on the talk back on the iHeartRadio app. It's
a microphone in the upper right hand corner. Love to
(14:34):
hear what you have to say.
Speaker 12 (14:38):
Good morning, Amy and crew. This is John in North Carolina,
Oak Mills specifically, and I guess it's good that Taylor's
gonna make him an honest man.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, gonna make him an honest man.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
Was he dishonest?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I don't know. I don't know. I do think it's
fascinating how fascinated people are by this, although we haven't
gotten a lot of talkback, so maybe maybe you guys
are already over it. But guess what it's.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Going to be.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I would imagine a huge lead up to the wedding
and we're going to tell you all about it, and
then we're going to be.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
Sick of it.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh, we're happy for him. Authorities are expected to reveal
more information today in the case of the seven month
old Immanuel Harrow, whose mother reported that he'd been kidnapped
from a Big five parking lot in Yukaipa. His parents
now formally charged with murder. The Riverside County DA and
San Bernardino Sheriff are holding a joint news conference today
(15:39):
to give updates on the case. The LA City Councils
called on Port of Los Angeles police officers to join
community members in documenting federal immigration enforcement activity in the
Harbor area. According to Councilman Tim Scott mccosker's motion, the
goal is to ensure accountability and protect the rights of residents,
workers and community members. Cracker Bear is bowing to a
(16:01):
huge blowback and now says it's gonna go back to
its old logo. Cracker Barrel unveiled its new logo last
week that did not have the image of the founder.
Along with that Cracker Barrel on it. People accuse the
iconic comfort food chain of going woke, and it's stock plummeted.
Cracker Barrel announced yesterday our new logo is going away
(16:21):
and our old timer will remain. Speaking of old timers,
a six five is handle on the news. Just kidding, kidding,
but I'm sure that Bill's going to be very excited
about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. So we'll hear what
he has to say about that. Right now, though, let's
say good morning to the host of Rich on Tech
(16:42):
on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro. Rich, we
got a new Apple phone coming.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Out, Yes, we do, Apple sort of one up by
Travis and Kell and Keayler. They announced their event at
the exact same time Apple Park, September ninth, ten am.
That is when we are going to see the new
iPhone seventeen models, so we're expecting the standard iPhone seventeen,
(17:09):
iPhone seventeen Pro Promax, but there's also expected to be
this brand new thin phone they're calling the iPhone seventeen Air,
so be on the lookout for that. That's expected to
replace the Plus model of the phone. And then of
course we're getting a whole bunch of new Apple watches,
and the new software for the rest of us will
be launching. If you're not getting a new phone, iOS
(17:30):
twenty six and all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Okay, And with Apple, they keep everything under wraps, so
you really you don't know what is going to be
on this phone yet, or do they give you a little,
a little something to dangle in front of you.
Speaker 9 (17:46):
No, they give you one thing, the invite to the event,
which is AWE It's called AWE Inspiring this year. So
we'll see, we'll see what that means. I think it's
aw drop.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Hold on, I guess AWE dropping now yeah, oh.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
You know it's AWE dropping. Okay, yeah, aw dropping. I
got to look at my invite. Yeah a special Oh
you didn't get the invite? Well, you know, I feel
like they send more and more invites every year. It
used to be like very exclusive, and now I don't
feel as special, I'll be honest, because they invite people.
They invite a lot of people at this point. So yeah, anyway,
so we'll see what happens there. People of course dissect
(18:23):
the the graphic on the invite to try to figure
out what they mean or what they're doing, and who
knows what it means? This year it looks like a
infrared Apple.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh okay, well, well know on September ninth, let's go
from Apple over to Google and Google trans Yah.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
So I actually thought this was pretty cool. So a
lot of people with two major upgrades in Google Translate.
Number one new live translation feature, so you can do
back and forth real time conversations in seventy languages. If
you've ever used a translate app, usually it is like
a walkie talkie. You talk, you wait for it to translate.
(19:00):
The other person talks, wait for it to translate. Now
it is real time and it's back and forth. You
can see the translation on the screen as you're talking,
and you can interrupt it. And so that's available right
now iPhone and Android, really really cool tap Live Translate,
And then of course they say They also upgraded it
so it works in noisy places, so if you're out
on the streets or in an airport, whatever, it'll still work.
(19:23):
That's the other thing that's really neat. Yes, that is
just to me. That's like I'm telling you. The live
translation capabilities of AI are changing the way people communicate
in this world because now on the Google Phone, the
new Pixels, you can literally talk to someone in another
language and they will hear you talking in their language
in your voice. So if you spoke Spanish, I could
(19:45):
literally speak to you and it would sound like I'm
speaking Spanish. So that's another feature.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Would you have an accent?
Speaker 9 (19:51):
The other thing that yes, you have the accent and everything.
It's just like we got to demo that. Okay, not
right now, but I'll set it up next hit.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, that'd be.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
And then the other thing is they let you practice languages.
So just like dual Lingo, you can now practice your
language inside the Google Translate app. This is for Spanish
and French.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
That would have been very handy for me because the
French people when I was in France laughed at me
a lot because my friends is really bad. Okay, they
take Briden that so Facebook is spying on you a
little bit or either that or it really likes your pictures.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
Yeah, or they could be we don't know, you know,
not for everyone, but a lot of people. I did
point out this feature on the Facebook settings, which is
basically called camera role Sharing Suggestions. There are two settings.
One is less nefarious than the other. One just basically
suggests pictures while you're scrolling through your feed and says, hey,
you should post this. The other one actually uploads those
(20:51):
pictures from your camera role your private pictures to Google
to a meta's cloud, analyzes them, remixes them, and says, hey,
you should share this cool ne AI picture we made
for you. That is like, uh huh, No one wants that.
So anyway, you can go into the Facebook app settings
look for camera role Sharing Suggestions. There are two toggles.
(21:12):
A lot of people reporting on my Instagram where I
posted directions at rich on Tech that's one or both
of the toggles were turned on mine.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I actually I did this. I followed your instructions because
I saw your post on it and one of mine
was on, so I turned it off.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Yeah me too. So some people said that I guess
Facebook was asking them like in their feed, like, hey,
turn these on and they forgot doing it. They forgot
to like they forgot that they did it.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
So anyway, just check those settings, okay, And then here's
something to check out. Chuck's Arcade.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Yes, this is super super cool. I mean chuck e
Cheese brand to me, like, it's just so near and
dear to my heart. I loved going there as a kid.
I was fascinated. I loved playing there. The pizza, the cake,
I mean everything. So now they've got a spin off
called Chuck's Arcade. The first location is open in the
West Coast at the Braham Mall. I went there and
(22:06):
it's a basically an arcade, so no pizza, there's no restaurant.
It's just an arcade with snacks and candy. And it's
a mix of old games and new games and of
course clockade that is the big draw. Now. Apparently kids
love these claw games and so that's the big thing there.
They have retro merchandise. It's just fun. This is the
tenth location. Definitely, if you're in the area, check it out.
(22:28):
It's kind of a fun, you know, not a birthday
party place. It's just well maybe they host them there.
I don't know. But it's just a place to go
and play arcade games.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
It's just an arcade, just an arcade.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
But they have old new they have like, you know,
a lot of stuff there. Like it's not as big
as a standard Tucky Cheese, but they're building these inside
malls near the food courts and it's just another place
that you know, kids of all ages can go. You're
gonna be an adult here and go by yourself.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
What's your favorite game?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (22:54):
Oh, I like, I mean, I'm old school. I like
ski Ball and misspac Man.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Oh god, years, I love it.
Speaker 9 (23:02):
Okay, they have it there. And I also I like
that basketball game too, one where you throw the basketball sin.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I'd like it better if I was better at it.
But anyway, you can listen to rich and hear all
the great things he has to say about Tech on
rich on Tech every Saturday from eleven to two right
here on KFI. You can watch him on KTLA. And
this is your the Chuck's Arcade. You can see that
story this week.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
Right yeah, right now, okay, right not at this time,
ohone over there, it actually is.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Rich on Tech is on KTLA right now. You can
watch him on KTLA follow him on Instagram at rich

ca if I twenty four hour news room. At least
five people have been shot at a strip mall in
South LA. It happened yesterday around two thirty near Manchester
and Figaroa in the Vermont Knowles area. Four men and
(25:10):
a woman between the ages of nineteen and forty five
were shot. One is in critical condition. La Mayor Bass
says the LAPD is going to increase the police presence
in South LA and is calling on all neighbors, residents
and young people to be more peaceful and to come
together and support each other. Schools in the Beverly Hills
(25:31):
District will be flying the flag of Israel for one
month every year. The school board voted in favor of
the proposal three to two at last night's meeting. It's
part of a resolution to combat anti Semitism that makes
this Holocaust education lessons on Jewish history and remembrance of
the October seventh attacks on Israel. President Trump has wished
(25:53):
Taylor Swift and Travis celt Thee a lot of luck,
as he put it. When asked about news of the
Power couples engagement at the White House yesterday, Trump said,
Kelsey is a great player and Swift is a terrific person.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Aamy's on it, Damie's on Aami's on Itami's on it.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
What am I on? Well? I am on the stream.
And whether it's a movie or a documentary or a
TV series, I like to watch them and let you
know if I think you should watch them too, or
maybe you want to save yourself some time. So I'm investing.
I'm investing in you. And sometimes there have and there
(26:40):
have been some shows that I have struggled through, but
I watched it. I said, I've got to get through
it so I can hopefully give you an accurate recommendation
or non recommendation, as the case may be. This one
is called The Pit. It's on HBO Max. It dropped.
I think the finale dropped in April. It's been around
for a little while well, and I don't know why,
(27:02):
but I kept saying hearing good things about it. But
then I just wasn't that interested in watching it. I'm like, oh,
that's another er, And so I finally sat down and
watched it. It's got one season, and it's a nice
long one fifteen episodes. You know how a lot of
those shows are now like eight close episodes, so it's
almost like old school TV. But you can watch it
(27:22):
all at once. In binge it you if you like to.
And I love a good bingch. So Noah Wiley stars
and he must love medical dramas because you'll remember him
as doctor John Carter, what a cutie in Er, But
this one he's all grown up and he runs the er.
They call the er the Pit. Doctor Michael Rabinovich is Robbie.
(27:43):
That's Noah Wiley. He's the senior emergency attending physician at
Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center and his staff is under is overworked.
The whole er is understaffed. He's dealing with residents and
medical students and interns and this entire sy and I
thought this was another interesting twist. It's almost like twenty four.
(28:03):
The entire season is one day in the er, so
each episode is a different hour the day we drop
in on the pit is the anniversary of a really
bad day for Robbie, as they call him, but we
don't know exactly what that is, of course, in the
first episode, and we get glimpses of it as the
season progresses. The show, I think has a really raw
(28:25):
feel to it. It's like Stark, it's not dressed up.
It feels more real, so there's less grandstanding and more doctoring.
And then the other thing that kind of stood out
to me is that there's almost no music, although in
like episode four, I went, oh, there is a little
tiny bit, but it's more just the sounds of the
er and I thought that that was sort of an
interesting take on it. Noah Wiley is amazing, Like you
(28:49):
feel how much he cares as a doctor, and he
has this quiet style of leadership and he can be,
you know, aggressive when he needs to be, but he's
kind and he's support of his staff. This series is
so engaging. It's just really great. There are some instances
of Hollywood inserting itself into social issues, as Hollywood is
(29:10):
wont to do, but they're not really rammed down your
throat like they are in some shows Grace Anatomy, but
it's not done gratuitously, and they do introduce some personal relationships,
but they really focus a lot on the actual events
in the er. And I will tell you it's not
a network show, so it is more graphic than a
(29:31):
network show like Bloody. Yeah, Bloody, and more graphic. You
see more bodies and a lot of them. But I
guess it's not really gratuitous. It's done very well actually,
and it's nominated for thirteen Emmys, including Outstanding Drama and
Lead Actor for Noah Wiley. It is powerful, it is emotional.
(29:52):
I found myself tearing up quite a few times. You
get invested in it, and if you get invested, that's
good news because season two drops in January, so there
is a season two coming. Season one. The whole thing
is out. It's called The Pit on HBO Max. I'm
on it. I think you should be two. Now let's
get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho. Good morning, Courtey,
(30:14):
good morning, Happy Wednesday. Thank you. Okay, So it wouldn't
be business and it wouldn't be today if we didn't
talk about Travis and Taylor.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
So exactly, there's even a business angle, can you believe?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Well, that's what We just had the Mayor pro tem
of u Kaipa said they're going to cash in on this,
and I think he's right because Travis Kelsey has already
got a deal in the works.
Speaker 6 (30:37):
Exactly, and you would think it'd be a little bit
busy after revealing the engagement, so he put a ring
on it. So he's now announcing that he's partnering with
American Eagle on a special limited edition collaboration with his
True Colors lifestyle brand. So I guess it's perfect timing though.
For American Eagle, they're the Big Winner Winter Winner Chicken Dinner.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
For those guys.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
The collection will have two drops, one today and the
second coming up on September twenty fourth. But you're mentioning,
I mean this is going to be huge for the
wedding industry. I mean, as they make decisions on everything clothing,
floral arrangements, whatever, people are going to jump all over
that the dress that she wore yesterday, that Ralph Lauren
dress that's already sold out.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
It crashed a website too. Isn't that just crazy? Okay,
Lego has record sales.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
Yeah, the toymaker rated in five point four billion dollars
in revenue in the first half of the year.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
To put it in perspective, that's higher than rivals.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
Mattelan has bro So there's been a lot of uncertainty
over tariffs, but Lego still says sales rose by double
digits in the US in the first six months of
the year. They did say that the best seller's best
selling sets so far this year are the Lego City
and the Technic sets. I have a lot of them
sitting around in my house, and the Lego Botanicals were
really hot around the holidays like Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.
(32:00):
Botanicals flowers, Yeah, the flowers. I actually have a set
that I'm in the middle of building. I ended up
getting one from somebody at I know, but it's it's
it's cute. So my daughter and I that's our little
project that we do on the weekends when we have
a little bit of time.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
We're building.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I'm not surprised by that really, because I'm fascinated that
Lego is appealing to so many adults now, where it
used to be just kids. But now I know even
kids who have grown up still play with Legos. Yeah,
they still go back. It's actually a bit. I have
to say, it's a it's a bit relaxing and I get.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
To talk to my daughter about it and something common
that we can do together. So it's it's a fun
it's a fun little activity for the two of us. Okay,
here's on shopping shopping.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
So here's something that's not so fun. Pink slips are
being handed out at a supermarket chain.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Yeah, Kroger laying off nearly a thousand corporate employees of
the companies looking to cut costs. Yeah, they had that
failed deal remember with Albertson's Kroger's proposed act position of
Albertson's that was blocked by the government back in December.
Just to remind people, the company also says that it's
ending projects that weren't really helping its core retail business.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Well that's probably a good decision then, right, we're watching
because we're watching in Nvidia today.
Speaker 6 (33:18):
Yes, so they report earnings after the bell. They are
the biggest beneficiary of after it, after the closing bell,
after the closse So yeah, so this afternoon and it
was a I mean, it's just reaped the benefits from AI.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Their earnings are going to be closely watched for read into.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Spending on AI. But this is the big kicker here.
The report could have major implications for the broader market
because in Nvidia is the world's most valuable company. It
has a more than eight percent waiting in the S
and P five hundred, meaning the stock really has the
power to swing the entire market based.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
On whatever their results are.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
So a lot of people are really saying, all right,
let's see what's going to happen. And that's why we're
looking at stock Indick's futures this morning that are pretty quiet.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
They're a little changed right now. Okay, getting in your
business like we do every day with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe.
Talk to you tomorrow, See you later, all right, thanks Courtney.
The La City Council's asked to increase the city's homelessness
legal representation budget by five million dollars. The La Times
reports that city Attorney Heidi Fieldstein Soto is asking the
(34:24):
city to increase the contract from nine hundred thousand to
five point nine million dollars. The city's been sued by
a nonprofit over allegations the city hasn't done what it
promised to end homelessness.

Reserve Board governor Lisa Cook has challenged her firing by
President Trump. Her attorney says the president has no authority
to remove her from her job. The Dodgers kick off
their twenty twenty sixth season at home against the Arizona
Diamondbacks on March twenty sixth. Major League Baseball released its
preliminary schedule yesterday. It's going to be the earliest traditional
opening day in Major League history. We're just a couple
(34:58):
minutes away from handle on the news this morning. Right now, though,
let's say good morning to the creator of the Age
of Incarceration, LA based photojournalist Morgan Lieberman. Good morning, Morgan,
Good morning.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
I'm great. I would love for you to tell us
about your new project, The Age of Incarceration. Can you
explain what it is a little bit?
Speaker 8 (35:23):
Definitely.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:24):
So a few years ago, I was reflecting on my
Jewish identity and how I grew up with so much
awareness and grief associated with the Holocaust, And around this
time I recognized that I had a huge lack of
education about what was happening on American soil. Simultaneously with
the Japanese American community, specifically on the West Coast, and
(35:48):
it became this never ending onion of layers upon layers
of an overwhelming amount of injustice that is really deeply
underrepresented in a race from the history books and the
media a landscape. So what I felt was an often
invisible topic was on how mass incarceration affected one hundred
(36:09):
and twenty five thousand Japanese American citizens and people of
Japanese descent in America. And I wanted to explore how
the specific kind of trauma impacted the rest of their lives.
So I began documenting and interviewing Japanese American incarceration camp survivors.
(36:29):
And this all started out of exploring my own Jewish
identity and finding this bridge with this community.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Okay, So, and you started documenting it, taking photos and videos,
and then you've put it all together, and that's where
we end up with the age of incarceration. So it's
it's not only pictures, but then it's video with audio
of the interviews and that kind of thing. Or is
it completely visual?
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Yeah, So it's it's multi components. It's portraits of the
survivors in their own homes and as well as that,
there's video interviews because I felt like hearing their voices
is so humanizing and I feel that I'm very empathy
driven in all of my journalistic endeavors. Also documenting their
(37:21):
personal archives that have never been published before that I
was stopped to think, Oh, these aren't even in any museums,
but they're just sitting, you know, in their garage. And
to see them at a young age in these pictures
and to watch them grow up in these the three
year process being incorporated in these you know, American born
(37:43):
concentration camps, I felt was really really powerful for the narrative.
And then I also went to three different in former
incarceration sites across the West in Wyoming, Arizona, and California,
and that included post in Man's in Our and Heart Mountains,
and I actually I documented and interviewed nine different survivors
(38:07):
that yeah, we're in camps across the West as well
as Arkansas, so yeah, it's very all encompassing. There's also
an eleven page essay that I wrote alongside Tommy co Nimura,
who was my editor. W She was fantastic to work with,
and this is the first time that I was really
challenging myself as a writer, because that kind of context
(38:30):
is so important that you can't always gain in the interviews.
So there's so many details and so much context that
you can learn from from the essay as well.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
And Morgan, what do you hope people will take away
from this?
Speaker 8 (38:44):
Well, a lot of things, but I hope that you know,
people are reflecting on the fact that this didn't happen
that long ago, and what's happening right now is the
Alien Enemies Act was pretty much brought back by the
Trump administration and that was enacted by FDR and this
is allowing, yeah, immigrants to be deported and there's really
(39:07):
no constituencial rights are happening right now with these arrests,
and that people are disappearing off the streets, and this
is a direct mirroring to what was happening in the forties.
So I really hope that people are paying attention to
what's happening right now, you're staying informed, and that you
read this feature and you realize that it is very
(39:29):
close to home, especially for everyone driving right now that
grew up in LA or lives in LA, that you
have to know that this history is around us. It's
just maybe not that obvious.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Okay, and where can we go and see this?
Speaker 8 (39:44):
Yeah, so you can read Age of Incarceration on long
lead dot com and it's an award winning journalism studio
that's dedicated to the telling long formed stories and once
again long lead dot com. You can also google age
of and first rate than long Lead. And yeah, thank
you so much for having me and for helping me
(40:05):
spread the word.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Photo journalist Morgan Lieberman, a creator of the Age of Incarceration,
Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to getting to
see more of it. I've kind of took a peek
at it, but I want to see the rest of it.
And it's Age of Incarceration at on long lead dot com.
Thanks Morgan, thank you, and we'll leave you with this.
(40:27):
What I mentioned before, those who forget the past are
destined to repeat it. I think it's interesting she's saying
like there's there's not a lot of record of those camps.
I know somebody whose grandparents had been relocated to one
of the camps. It's amazing and tragic. This is KFI

the engagement heard around the world is the big story
Taylor and Travis getting hitched. I was talking to producer
and we were like, she said, I didn't even include
(01:25):
it in handle on the news. I said, I know,
but like everybody's talking about it. It's just it's crazy.
All the news channels, everybody will Cole Schreiper does not care.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
I said, I mean, I'm glad for them, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I'm happy for him. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's weird
because they live their lives so publicly. I mean, it
makes sense that we would be talking about it. But
they posted those photos yesterday. The picture has got twenty
seven million lights. Oh, she has just a couple of fans.
I guess apparently the engagement happened two weeks ago. They
(02:03):
let it out when they wanted to let it out.
Like everything, Taylor is so good at like planning stuff
and scheming things. I mean, she's just great at it.
She's absolutely great at it. That dress that she was wearing,
the little black and white striped Ralph Lauren, sold out
in minutes, sure, minutes after they announcement, And I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Chiefs fans are just like, Okay, that's fine, nothing goes
wrong with the season.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Though I know somebody's like, why did they announce it now?
He needs to get his head in the game. Blah
blah blah. And did you know that USA Today even
has a Taylor Swift reporter, Brian West. That's his beat. Okay, Yeah,
if you have anything to say about it, we'd love
to hear. I mean, like, do you want to hear
more about it? We can talk more about it. We
(02:49):
can talk about it all hour long if you want to.
But if you want to talk about it, or wish
them well, or tell them go to hell, you know,
whatever you want to do, hit us up on the top.
It's on the iHeartRadio app and on the screen on
the upper right hand corner there's a little microphone and
we'd love to hear what you have to say one
way or the other. Just if you're going to be
a hater, don't be too mean about it, you know how.
(03:12):
I like niceness.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Nice, nice.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
All right, here's what's ahead on wake up Call. Police
are still looking for at least three people involved in
a shooting at a strip mall in South LA. Four
men and a woman were shot in the Vermont Noles
area yesterday afternoon. One of them is in critical condition.
The shooters took off in cars. Homicides are down in
LA this year, but shootings involving police officers are up.
(03:36):
LAPD Chief McDonnell says homicides dropped nearly twenty eight percent
compared to this time last year, but police shootings have
jumped from nineteen last year to thirty so far this year.
The chief blames the rise on a growing number of
suspects who are confronting officers and have guns. Apple plans
to unveil its new iPhone seventeen and a new lineup
(03:56):
of Apple Watches. The launch is going to be held
on September ninth, the company says on the website to
on the invite to media rather that it will be
awe dropping. The event's going to be live streamed, and
KTLA's tech reporter Rich Damia's going to join us give
us a little sneak peek at that. And speaking of sneaking,
(04:17):
is Facebook sneaking into your Facebook photos? Hmm? Ritual also
give us an update on that. That's coming up at
five twenty. Those who forget are destined to repeat the past.
You've probably heard that at some point. Well, there's a
new online photo video exhibit that aims to make sure
you don't forget about what happened to hundreds of thousands
of people sent to Japanese internment camps here in the US.
(04:40):
Really interesting, fascinating stuff that's coming up at five point fifty.
Amy's on it. An actor who just can't stay out
of the er, and that's a really good thing. We'll
tell you about that at the bottom of the hour.
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. LA Mayor Bas
says that shooting at a strip mall in South La
has disrupted the piece but will not be tolerated. Five
(05:01):
people were shot yesterday afternoon. The LAPD says it could
have been gang related. Bass says the LAPD will step
up its presence in South LA.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
I'm confident though, that we will find the perpetrators of
this crime and hold them accountable.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
She says.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Community violins interventionists are working to de escalate community tensions.
The missing seven month old boy from Riverside County may
have been killed up to nine days before he was
reported kidnapped in Yukaipa.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
That's according to court documents released on Tuesday, when Emmanuel
Hero's mother and father were formally charged with murder and
filing a false police report. The Heroes appeared in court
without representation after previously having an attorney speaking on their behalf.
Last weekend, Janke Harrow was seen helping authorities search for
the boys remains, which have still not been found. Rebecca
(05:50):
Harrow is sticking with her story, still claiming the baby
was kidnapped outside of a sporting good store. Mark Mayfield
Kofi News.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
The Riverside County DA and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's
Department are expected to release information about the case later
this morning. Fourteen people have been arrested as part of
an alleged retail theft crime ring targeting dozens of home depots.
LA County DA Nathan Hockman says law enforcement agencies across
southern California helped to execute Operation kill Switch.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Because there is no more daylight between the different counties.
That daylight is gone. There's no more daylight in law
enforcement efforts. That's gone, and there's certainly no daylight in
District Attorney's offices prosecution efforts that has gone as well.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
The alleged thieves stole more than ten million dollars worth
of goods from seventy one home depot stores. Those items
were then resold online.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But I can see is lost dollar and has lived away.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It's inside because.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It was never mine.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
How About twenty seven million people have liked the post
on Instagram announcing the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
Swift wrote on the post yesterday, your English teacher and
your Jim teacher are getting married. They don't get that. Yes,
but I'm not a swiftie, so that makes sense. Wedding
planner Tracy French says, everybody's going to be watching what
(07:19):
the pop star wears and what songs will play at
the wedding.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
You know, people love a love story and so everybody's excited,
I think, to see these two get married.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
She says. The wedding choices will set trends for other brides.
You think. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen.
President Trump, who's been pushing for interest rate cuts, has
fired Federal Reserve Board of Governor's member Lisa Cook. But
Lisa Cook says she's not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
She says she's not going because she says the President
doesn't have the power to fire her. The law does
say the president can fire a FED Board governor for cause.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Congress never defined that term.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And now the question is, all right, Justices of the
Supreme Court, is this legal or not. It's going to
take some time to get that far. But the reason
this is likely to wind up before the Supreme Court
is because the Court said in an order in May
of this year that while the president may have the
power to remove members of the National Labor Relations Board,
the Consumer Product Safety Commission, or other federal agencies that
(08:22):
sort of exert executive power.
Speaker 9 (08:25):
The FED is different.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
The Court didn't explain exactly what it meant by the
difference there, but in a single sentence, the Supreme Court
said in May, the Federal Reserve is uniquely structured, that
it's a quasi private entity that follows in the distinct
historical tradition of the First and Second Banks of the
United States, which obviously, I mean you remember from sophomore
year US history. But the whole point is that this
(08:50):
is going to be something for the Supreme Court to decide.
The allegation, of course, is that Lisa Cook committed mortgage
fraud by signing two closing documents in the summer of
twenty twenty one on two separate properties, one in Michigan,
the other in Georgia, which, according to the Trump administration,
she filed as primary residences. Both can't be primary residences.
(09:12):
So the question is did she commit mortgage fraud. That's
not been proven in court. In fact, she's not charged
with a crime. It's just been sort of leveled an
allegation aired publicly by the head of the Federal Housing
Finance Administration, which is led by a man in Bill Poulty,
who is a longtime Trump loyalist, and he's been leveling
allegations of mortgage fraud. The President was asked yesterday whether
(09:33):
he has essentially henchmen and his own administration going digging
for dirt on his political opponents or people he'd like
to pressure. The President said, no, it's all public. You
could be doing the digging too. I don't know that
mortgage applications are public. Certainly the government regulator would have
access to it, but that suggests that they went on
a fishing expedition. You can look up deeds of trust,
(09:53):
but I don't know that it would necessarily contain the
information that the government is now putting public. So lots
of questions here, but ultimately this will have to be
settled in court.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Okay, I have so many more questions, and you don't
have the time, so we'll have to catch up on
it another day. But thanks for helping us figure this
one out. It's just interesting these things that keep coming up.
Thank you, Steven Portinoy.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
You bet.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Tariffs on India
have increased to fifty percent effective today. The President had
threatened to double the tariffs because India is still buying
oil from Russia. The US and India have not yet
reached a trade deal. Vice President JD Vance told Meet
the Press that the US was applying aggressive economic leverage
(10:37):
on India to make it harder for Russia to fuel
its economy by selling its oil. A US tariff exemption
for small stuff is about to end.
Speaker 10 (10:46):
Low value imports are losing their duty free status in
the US this week as part of President Trump's agenda
for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods. A
widely used customs exemption for an international shipment's worth eight
hundred dollars or less said to end starting Friday. Purchases
that previously entered the US without needing to clear customs
will be subject to the origin country's tariff rate, which
(11:09):
can range from ten percent to fifty percent.
Speaker 1 (11:13):

You could have hair in your toothpaste on purpose.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Give me a head with hair.
Speaker 11 (13:34):
Beautiful hair scientists say a protein found in hair, skin,
and wool has been found to prepare damage to teeth
and stop the early stages of decay. Keratin is often
used in shampoos to prepare damaged hair, but mixed with saliva,
it produces a protective coating like enamel. Fluoride is currently
used in water and toothpaste to slow enamel erosion, but
keraten stops erosion completely and can even heal micro cracks
(13:57):
and small defects. Researchers say the hair toothpaste could ready
for the public and a couple of years. They're using
sheep's wool right now, but in the future people could
extract the carratin from their own hair. Michael Krozier, k
if I us.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Hair between your teeth and yeah, that's interesting. That's really interesting.
We were asking what you have to think to say
about the big Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey engagement and if
you would like to weigh in, hit us up on
the on the talk back on the iHeartRadio app. It's
a microphone in the upper right hand corner. Love to
(14:34):
hear what you have to say.
Speaker 12 (14:38):
Good morning, Amy and crew. This is John in North Carolina,
Oak Mills specifically, and I guess it's good that Taylor's
gonna make him an honest man.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, gonna make him an honest man.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
Was he dishonest?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I don't know. I don't know. I do think it's
fascinating how fascinated people are by this, although we haven't
gotten a lot of talkback, so maybe maybe you guys
are already over it. But guess what it's.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Going to be.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I would imagine a huge lead up to the wedding
and we're going to tell you all about it, and
then we're going to be.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
Sick of it.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh, we're happy for him. Authorities are expected to reveal
more information today in the case of the seven month
old Immanuel Harrow, whose mother reported that he'd been kidnapped
from a Big five parking lot in Yukaipa. His parents
now formally charged with murder. The Riverside County DA and
San Bernardino Sheriff are holding a joint news conference today
(15:39):
to give updates on the case. The LA City Councils
called on Port of Los Angeles police officers to join
community members in documenting federal immigration enforcement activity in the
Harbor area. According to Councilman Tim Scott mccosker's motion, the
goal is to ensure accountability and protect the rights of residents,
workers and community members. Cracker Bear is bowing to a
(16:01):
huge blowback and now says it's gonna go back to
its old logo. Cracker Barrel unveiled its new logo last
week that did not have the image of the founder.
Along with that Cracker Barrel on it. People accuse the
iconic comfort food chain of going woke, and it's stock plummeted.
Cracker Barrel announced yesterday our new logo is going away
(16:21):
and our old timer will remain. Speaking of old timers,
a six five is handle on the news. Just kidding, kidding,
but I'm sure that Bill's going to be very excited
about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. So we'll hear what
he has to say about that. Right now, though, let's
say good morning to the host of Rich on Tech
(16:42):
on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro. Rich, we
got a new Apple phone coming.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Out, Yes, we do, Apple sort of one up by
Travis and Kell and Keayler. They announced their event at
the exact same time Apple Park, September ninth, ten am.
That is when we are going to see the new
iPhone seventeen models, so we're expecting the standard iPhone seventeen,
(17:09):
iPhone seventeen Pro Promax, but there's also expected to be
this brand new thin phone they're calling the iPhone seventeen Air,
so be on the lookout for that. That's expected to
replace the Plus model of the phone. And then of
course we're getting a whole bunch of new Apple watches,
and the new software for the rest of us will
be launching. If you're not getting a new phone, iOS
(17:30):
twenty six and all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Okay, And with Apple, they keep everything under wraps, so
you really you don't know what is going to be
on this phone yet, or do they give you a little,
a little something to dangle in front of you.
Speaker 9 (17:46):
No, they give you one thing, the invite to the event,
which is AWE It's called AWE Inspiring this year. So
we'll see, we'll see what that means. I think it's
aw drop.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Hold on, I guess AWE dropping now yeah, oh.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
You know it's AWE dropping. Okay, yeah, aw dropping. I
got to look at my invite. Yeah a special Oh
you didn't get the invite? Well, you know, I feel
like they send more and more invites every year. It
used to be like very exclusive, and now I don't
feel as special, I'll be honest, because they invite people.
They invite a lot of people at this point. So yeah, anyway,
so we'll see what happens there. People of course dissect
(18:23):
the the graphic on the invite to try to figure
out what they mean or what they're doing, and who
knows what it means? This year it looks like a
infrared Apple.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh okay, well, well know on September ninth, let's go
from Apple over to Google and Google trans Yah.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
So I actually thought this was pretty cool. So a
lot of people with two major upgrades in Google Translate.
Number one new live translation feature, so you can do
back and forth real time conversations in seventy languages. If
you've ever used a translate app, usually it is like
a walkie talkie. You talk, you wait for it to translate.
(19:00):
The other person talks, wait for it to translate. Now
it is real time and it's back and forth. You
can see the translation on the screen as you're talking,
and you can interrupt it. And so that's available right
now iPhone and Android, really really cool tap Live Translate,
And then of course they say They also upgraded it
so it works in noisy places, so if you're out
on the streets or in an airport, whatever, it'll still work.
(19:23):
That's the other thing that's really neat. Yes, that is
just to me. That's like I'm telling you. The live
translation capabilities of AI are changing the way people communicate
in this world because now on the Google Phone, the
new Pixels, you can literally talk to someone in another
language and they will hear you talking in their language
in your voice. So if you spoke Spanish, I could
(19:45):
literally speak to you and it would sound like I'm
speaking Spanish. So that's another feature.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Would you have an accent?
Speaker 9 (19:51):
The other thing that yes, you have the accent and everything.
It's just like we got to demo that. Okay, not
right now, but I'll set it up next hit.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, that'd be.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
And then the other thing is they let you practice languages.
So just like dual Lingo, you can now practice your
language inside the Google Translate app. This is for Spanish
and French.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
That would have been very handy for me because the
French people when I was in France laughed at me
a lot because my friends is really bad. Okay, they
take Briden that so Facebook is spying on you a
little bit or either that or it really likes your pictures.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
Yeah, or they could be we don't know, you know,
not for everyone, but a lot of people. I did
point out this feature on the Facebook settings, which is
basically called camera role Sharing Suggestions. There are two settings.
One is less nefarious than the other. One just basically
suggests pictures while you're scrolling through your feed and says, hey,
you should post this. The other one actually uploads those
(20:51):
pictures from your camera role your private pictures to Google
to a meta's cloud, analyzes them, remixes them, and says, hey,
you should share this cool ne AI picture we made
for you. That is like, uh huh, No one wants that.
So anyway, you can go into the Facebook app settings
look for camera role Sharing Suggestions. There are two toggles.
(21:12):
A lot of people reporting on my Instagram where I
posted directions at rich on Tech that's one or both
of the toggles were turned on mine.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I actually I did this. I followed your instructions because
I saw your post on it and one of mine
was on, so I turned it off.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Yeah me too. So some people said that I guess
Facebook was asking them like in their feed, like, hey,
turn these on and they forgot doing it. They forgot
to like they forgot that they did it.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
So anyway, just check those settings, okay, And then here's
something to check out. Chuck's Arcade.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Yes, this is super super cool. I mean chuck e
Cheese brand to me, like, it's just so near and
dear to my heart. I loved going there as a kid.
I was fascinated. I loved playing there. The pizza, the cake,
I mean everything. So now they've got a spin off
called Chuck's Arcade. The first location is open in the
West Coast at the Braham Mall. I went there and
(22:06):
it's a basically an arcade, so no pizza, there's no restaurant.
It's just an arcade with snacks and candy. And it's
a mix of old games and new games and of
course clockade that is the big draw. Now. Apparently kids
love these claw games and so that's the big thing there.
They have retro merchandise. It's just fun. This is the
tenth location. Definitely, if you're in the area, check it out.
(22:28):
It's kind of a fun, you know, not a birthday
party place. It's just well maybe they host them there.
I don't know. But it's just a place to go
and play arcade games.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
It's just an arcade, just an arcade.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
But they have old new they have like, you know,
a lot of stuff there. Like it's not as big
as a standard Tucky Cheese, but they're building these inside
malls near the food courts and it's just another place
that you know, kids of all ages can go. You're
gonna be an adult here and go by yourself.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
What's your favorite game?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (22:54):
Oh, I like, I mean, I'm old school. I like
ski Ball and misspac Man.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Oh god, years, I love it.
Speaker 9 (23:02):
Okay, they have it there. And I also I like
that basketball game too, one where you throw the basketball sin.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I'd like it better if I was better at it.
But anyway, you can listen to rich and hear all
the great things he has to say about Tech on
rich on Tech every Saturday from eleven to two right
here on KFI. You can watch him on KTLA. And
this is your the Chuck's Arcade. You can see that

Speaker 8 (24:28):
Good morning, Amy, Chris Vinnible, mayor pro tem.
Speaker 9 (24:31):
From Type of California.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
Hi, Chris, My hat's off to the mister and missus Swift.
They do amazing marketing.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
Yeah, all they do is just make more money.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I know there.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Hope you have a great day.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Thanks Chris, Mayor pro tem of you Kaipa. Yeah, got
some big names listening to a wake up call. I
think he has a good point. They're gonna make a
mint off of this. Here's what we're following in the
ca if I twenty four hour news room. At least
five people have been shot at a strip mall in
South LA. It happened yesterday around two thirty near Manchester
and Figaroa in the Vermont Knowles area. Four men and
(25:10):
a woman between the ages of nineteen and forty five
were shot. One is in critical condition. La Mayor Bass
says the LAPD is going to increase the police presence
in South LA and is calling on all neighbors, residents
and young people to be more peaceful and to come
together and support each other. Schools in the Beverly Hills
(25:31):
District will be flying the flag of Israel for one
month every year. The school board voted in favor of
the proposal three to two at last night's meeting. It's
part of a resolution to combat anti Semitism that makes
this Holocaust education lessons on Jewish history and remembrance of
the October seventh attacks on Israel. President Trump has wished
(25:53):
Taylor Swift and Travis celt Thee a lot of luck,
as he put it. When asked about news of the
Power couples engagement at the White House yesterday, Trump said,
Kelsey is a great player and Swift is a terrific person.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Aamy's on it, Damie's on Aami's on Itami's on it.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
What am I on? Well? I am on the stream.
And whether it's a movie or a documentary or a
TV series, I like to watch them and let you
know if I think you should watch them too, or
maybe you want to save yourself some time. So I'm investing.
I'm investing in you. And sometimes there have and there
(26:40):
have been some shows that I have struggled through, but
I watched it. I said, I've got to get through
it so I can hopefully give you an accurate recommendation
or non recommendation, as the case may be. This one
is called The Pit. It's on HBO Max. It dropped.
I think the finale dropped in April. It's been around
for a little while well, and I don't know why,
(27:02):
but I kept saying hearing good things about it. But
then I just wasn't that interested in watching it. I'm like, oh,
that's another er, And so I finally sat down and
watched it. It's got one season, and it's a nice
long one fifteen episodes. You know how a lot of
those shows are now like eight close episodes, so it's
almost like old school TV. But you can watch it
(27:22):
all at once. In binge it you if you like to.
And I love a good bingch. So Noah Wiley stars
and he must love medical dramas because you'll remember him
as doctor John Carter, what a cutie in Er, But
this one he's all grown up and he runs the er.
They call the er the Pit. Doctor Michael Rabinovich is Robbie.
(27:43):
That's Noah Wiley. He's the senior emergency attending physician at
Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center and his staff is under is overworked.
The whole er is understaffed. He's dealing with residents and
medical students and interns and this entire sy and I
thought this was another interesting twist. It's almost like twenty four.
(28:03):
The entire season is one day in the er, so
each episode is a different hour the day we drop
in on the pit is the anniversary of a really
bad day for Robbie, as they call him, but we
don't know exactly what that is, of course, in the
first episode, and we get glimpses of it as the
season progresses. The show, I think has a really raw
(28:25):
feel to it. It's like Stark, it's not dressed up.
It feels more real, so there's less grandstanding and more doctoring.
And then the other thing that kind of stood out
to me is that there's almost no music, although in
like episode four, I went, oh, there is a little
tiny bit, but it's more just the sounds of the
er and I thought that that was sort of an
interesting take on it. Noah Wiley is amazing, Like you
(28:49):
feel how much he cares as a doctor, and he
has this quiet style of leadership and he can be,
you know, aggressive when he needs to be, but he's
kind and he's support of his staff. This series is
so engaging. It's just really great. There are some instances
of Hollywood inserting itself into social issues, as Hollywood is
(29:10):
wont to do, but they're not really rammed down your
throat like they are in some shows Grace Anatomy, but
it's not done gratuitously, and they do introduce some personal relationships,
but they really focus a lot on the actual events
in the er. And I will tell you it's not
a network show, so it is more graphic than a
(29:31):
network show like Bloody. Yeah, Bloody, and more graphic. You
see more bodies and a lot of them. But I
guess it's not really gratuitous. It's done very well actually,
and it's nominated for thirteen Emmys, including Outstanding Drama and
Lead Actor for Noah Wiley. It is powerful, it is emotional.
(29:52):
I found myself tearing up quite a few times. You
get invested in it, and if you get invested, that's
good news because season two drops in January, so there
is a season two coming. Season one. The whole thing
is out. It's called The Pit on HBO Max. I'm
on it. I think you should be two. Now let's
get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho. Good morning, Courtey,
(30:14):
good morning, Happy Wednesday. Thank you. Okay, So it wouldn't
be business and it wouldn't be today if we didn't
talk about Travis and Taylor.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
So exactly, there's even a business angle, can you believe?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Well, that's what We just had the Mayor pro tem
of u Kaipa said they're going to cash in on this,
and I think he's right because Travis Kelsey has already
got a deal in the works.
Speaker 6 (30:37):
Exactly, and you would think it'd be a little bit
busy after revealing the engagement, so he put a ring
on it. So he's now announcing that he's partnering with
American Eagle on a special limited edition collaboration with his
True Colors lifestyle brand. So I guess it's perfect timing though.
For American Eagle, they're the Big Winner Winter Winner Chicken Dinner.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
For those guys.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
The collection will have two drops, one today and the
second coming up on September twenty fourth. But you're mentioning,
I mean this is going to be huge for the
wedding industry. I mean, as they make decisions on everything clothing,
floral arrangements, whatever, people are going to jump all over
that the dress that she wore yesterday, that Ralph Lauren
dress that's already sold out.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
It crashed a website too. Isn't that just crazy? Okay,
Lego has record sales.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
Yeah, the toymaker rated in five point four billion dollars
in revenue in the first half of the year.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
To put it in perspective, that's higher than rivals.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
Mattelan has bro So there's been a lot of uncertainty
over tariffs, but Lego still says sales rose by double
digits in the US in the first six months of
the year. They did say that the best seller's best
selling sets so far this year are the Lego City
and the Technic sets. I have a lot of them
sitting around in my house, and the Lego Botanicals were
really hot around the holidays like Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.
(32:00):
Botanicals flowers, Yeah, the flowers. I actually have a set
that I'm in the middle of building. I ended up
getting one from somebody at I know, but it's it's
it's cute. So my daughter and I that's our little
project that we do on the weekends when we have
a little bit of time.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
We're building.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I'm not surprised by that really, because I'm fascinated that
Lego is appealing to so many adults now, where it
used to be just kids. But now I know even
kids who have grown up still play with Legos. Yeah,
they still go back. It's actually a bit. I have
to say, it's a it's a bit relaxing and I get.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
To talk to my daughter about it and something common
that we can do together. So it's it's a fun
it's a fun little activity for the two of us. Okay,
here's on shopping shopping.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
So here's something that's not so fun. Pink slips are
being handed out at a supermarket chain.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Yeah, Kroger laying off nearly a thousand corporate employees of
the companies looking to cut costs. Yeah, they had that
failed deal remember with Albertson's Kroger's proposed act position of
Albertson's that was blocked by the government back in December.
Just to remind people, the company also says that it's
ending projects that weren't really helping its core retail business.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Well that's probably a good decision then, right, we're watching
because we're watching in Nvidia today.
Speaker 6 (33:18):
Yes, so they report earnings after the bell. They are
the biggest beneficiary of after it, after the closing bell,
after the closse So yeah, so this afternoon and it
was a I mean, it's just reaped the benefits from AI.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Their earnings are going to be closely watched for read into.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Spending on AI. But this is the big kicker here.
The report could have major implications for the broader market
because in Nvidia is the world's most valuable company. It
has a more than eight percent waiting in the S
and P five hundred, meaning the stock really has the
power to swing the entire market based.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
On whatever their results are.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
So a lot of people are really saying, all right,
let's see what's going to happen. And that's why we're
looking at stock Indick's futures this morning that are pretty quiet.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
They're a little changed right now. Okay, getting in your
business like we do every day with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe.
Talk to you tomorrow, See you later, all right, thanks Courtney.
The La City Council's asked to increase the city's homelessness
legal representation budget by five million dollars. The La Times
reports that city Attorney Heidi Fieldstein Soto is asking the
(34:24):

a nonprofit over allegations the city hasn't done what it
promised to end homelessness.

Reserve Board governor Lisa Cook has challenged her firing by
President Trump. Her attorney says the president has no authority
to remove her from her job. The Dodgers kick off
their twenty twenty sixth season at home against the Arizona
Diamondbacks on March twenty sixth. Major League Baseball released its
preliminary schedule yesterday. It's going to be the earliest traditional
opening day in Major League history. We're just a couple
(34:58):
minutes away from handle on the news this morning. Right now, though,
let's say good morning to the creator of the Age
of Incarceration, LA based photojournalist Morgan Lieberman. Good morning, Morgan,
Good morning.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
I'm great. I would love for you to tell us
about your new project, The Age of Incarceration. Can you
explain what it is a little bit?
Speaker 8 (35:23):
Definitely.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:24):
So a few years ago, I was reflecting on my
Jewish identity and how I grew up with so much
awareness and grief associated with the Holocaust, And around this
time I recognized that I had a huge lack of
education about what was happening on American soil. Simultaneously with
the Japanese American community, specifically on the West Coast, and
(35:48):
it became this never ending onion of layers upon layers
of an overwhelming amount of injustice that is really deeply
underrepresented in a race from the history books and the
media a landscape. So what I felt was an often
invisible topic was on how mass incarceration affected one hundred
(36:09):
and twenty five thousand Japanese American citizens and people of
Japanese descent in America. And I wanted to explore how
the specific kind of trauma impacted the rest of their lives.
So I began documenting and interviewing Japanese American incarceration camp survivors.
(36:29):
And this all started out of exploring my own Jewish
identity and finding this bridge with this community.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Okay, So, and you started documenting it, taking photos and videos,
and then you've put it all together, and that's where
we end up with the age of incarceration. So it's
it's not only pictures, but then it's video with audio
of the interviews and that kind of thing. Or is
it completely visual?
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Yeah, So it's it's multi components. It's portraits of the
survivors in their own homes and as well as that,
there's video interviews because I felt like hearing their voices
is so humanizing and I feel that I'm very empathy
driven in all of my journalistic endeavors. Also documenting their
(37:21):
personal archives that have never been published before that I
was stopped to think, Oh, these aren't even in any museums,
but they're just sitting, you know, in their garage. And
to see them at a young age in these pictures
and to watch them grow up in these the three
year process being incorporated in these you know, American born
(37:43):
concentration camps, I felt was really really powerful for the narrative.
And then I also went to three different in former
incarceration sites across the West in Wyoming, Arizona, and California,
and that included post in Man's in Our and Heart Mountains,
and I actually I documented and interviewed nine different survivors
(38:07):
that yeah, we're in camps across the West as well
as Arkansas, so yeah, it's very all encompassing. There's also
an eleven page essay that I wrote alongside Tommy co Nimura,
who was my editor. W She was fantastic to work with,
and this is the first time that I was really
challenging myself as a writer, because that kind of context
(38:30):
is so important that you can't always gain in the interviews.
So there's so many details and so much context that
you can learn from from the essay as well.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
And Morgan, what do you hope people will take away
from this?
Speaker 8 (38:44):
Well, a lot of things, but I hope that you know,
people are reflecting on the fact that this didn't happen
that long ago, and what's happening right now is the
Alien Enemies Act was pretty much brought back by the
Trump administration and that was enacted by FDR and this
is allowing, yeah, immigrants to be deported and there's really
(39:07):
no constituencial rights are happening right now with these arrests,
and that people are disappearing off the streets, and this
is a direct mirroring to what was happening in the forties.
So I really hope that people are paying attention to
what's happening right now, you're staying informed, and that you
read this feature and you realize that it is very
(39:29):
close to home, especially for everyone driving right now that
grew up in LA or lives in LA, that you
have to know that this history is around us. It's
just maybe not that obvious.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Okay, and where can we go and see this?

Thanks Morgan, thank you, and we'll leave you with this.
(40:27):
What I mentioned before, those who forget the past are
destined to repeat it. I think it's interesting she's saying
like there's there's not a lot of record of those camps.
I know somebody whose grandparents had been relocated to one
of the camps. It's amazing and tragic. This is KFI
