Yes, hi there, So we are deep in the UN General Assembly meetings. I just did a story about Zelenski addressing the UN General's Assembly, and of course President Biden made his address to the group yesterday. Tell us about it. Yeah, you know, they had a kind of spiller message at these
certain things that President Zelenski was echoing. The President had said earlier in the day, one thing before we get to the Ukraine part of it. The President, you know, again tough words with China, but saying that the US wants to manage competition responsibly with China so it doesn't tip into comflict. But again that message from the G twenty summit earlier this month, talking about China and developed countries and trying to give them better lending options for their infrastructure
and climate change projects. But on Ukraine, very very harsh words for Russia, the President saying that Russia believes the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalize Ukraine without consequence. He said, if we allow Ukraine to be carved up, is the independence of any nation secure? He says, no. Essentially, if it happens there and Russia is allowed to succeed, then what is next? Which country is the next one to be overtaken by Russia?
And Zelinsky has had a similar message that you know, if it's happening here, it could happen to anybody. It could be turned on you, and that's why the global community needs to continue to stand with Ukraine and offer support. I think that they've got a point there, you know. I mean, it's yeah, and the way that Putin's acting, he's just not backing down at all and doubling down and making deals with the devil, and so it's kind of scary. So what did Biden maybe not talk about?
You know, it was a very wide ranging speed, So I think they hit on everything that the administration had teased ahead of time, preview ahead of time, kind of went through a laundry list of all the partnerships that the United States has entered into in the last two and a half years under his presidency. You know, big scene for the White House going into this was again reminding allies partners that under his presidency, Joe Biden will say that America
is taking a leadership role on the world stage. China still signal that shift from the Trump administration, where the the Trump administration got out of international agreements and shifted away from some of the traditional alliances. They say they're doing things differently. Whether that means they're solving the problems that they say they're solving,
you know, remains to be seen. But it's certainly a big scene for the President when he travels overseas and when he speaks of a world leader gathering like the UN. Okay, now, today, President Biden has another meeting. It's not in front of a big group. It's a one on one with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Net and Yahoo. But that's happening in New York and not at the White House. Correct, Yes, it is happening in
New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Some critics are saying it's a snub, you know, by not offering Net Yahoo the Oval Office photo op and the meeting at the White House and all the customary droppings that come with that. The President had met with the Israeli president earlier in the summer. But you know, Biden has been critical of Net and Yahoo and his government and calling it the most extreme he's seen in Israel in his time
in politics. So it's not surprising perhaps that he's not doing the White House meeting. But they are still having this conversation this morning, Okay, and then and then President Biden's heading back to the White House where he is going to meet with Zelenski tomorrow. Correct, and that's tomorrow. Yeah, Zelenski will be at the White House tomorrow and then up on Capitol Hill for meetings.
Not clear yet what that looks like up on Capitol Hill. Kevin McCarthy, the House Speaker, had indicated he might not be meeting with him one on one, It might be in more of a group setting, but they will. He will be up there to lobby lawmakers from the House and Senate, Republican and Democrats for funding for Ukraine. All right, Karen Travis, thank you so much forgiving us the scoop on the un Have a great day. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty

Nobody's ever introduced me like that. I like that sounds nice. Really, Yeah, you deserve a great introduction. I love it. Okay, I'm gonna require it. Next week. You're gonna go. God, that sucked, okay, Rich. iOS seventeen is out. That means there's new goodies. Tell us about what
they got. Yeah. So Apple dropped a whole bunch of software updates, and if you own more than one Apple product, you might have spent some time this week updating them. If you haven't done it already, I'd recommend you don't have to wait. I mean, some people don't like change. There are some changes, but there are a lot of them are under the hood, so you'll notice them slowly but surely. But let me tell you about a couple of them. iOS seventeen. Number one thing you're going to
notice is this new feature called contact Poster. So when you call someone, you show up on their iPhone in a big picture with your name, and you can customize what this looks like to other people on their iPhone. So the first thing you want to do is go into your contacts and just edit
your contact card. And you might want to update your photo because if you have an old picture in there for yourself, like my wife called me and it was all like just you know, really weird looking because it was just like so old school, like the picture was tiny and now it's on this big screen. So use a new picture. Oh, I just looked at mine. I have a picture from the Galapagos that was like five years ago.
Yeah, so you may want to update that because when you call someone else's phone now, that picture will be shown and it may be really tiny or it'll just be stretched out on their screen, so it'll look really weird. Okay. So this also goes into another feature called name drop. Now you can take two iPhones, hold them next to each other or you know, front or top to top, and you can exchange phone numbers with someone. And this is really really handy because you know, it's kind of like
a business card, except you don't need that anymore. You know what that is, That's what you used to do with a black Berry. Yeah, yeah, Bump, remember that was what it was. There was like an app called Bump as well. So yeah, I remember thinking this is the coolest thing ever. And then Blackberries went out of existence. Yeah, everything old is new again, you know. Yeah. I like that one.
That's cool. Another handy feature is called check in. This is really good if you're let's say you're leaving a bar and your friend says, hey, text me when you get home, and you forget to text them, of course, and they're like, all right, well, I guess I'll figure out what happened in the morning. And so this this will actually you check
in before you leave. You say, okay, I want to text my friend when I leave, and it will automatically follow your journey, and when you get home, it'll text your friends say, uh, they got there safely. If that doesn't happen, it will initiate a whole set of things where it can show where you are on a map. It will you know. It's just it's a really nice safety feature. Oh okay, I like that one. And this is the new I Is this an auto update?
Uh no, it'll you'll see it in your settings if you go in your software update in settings, it'll say other options at the bottom. Upgrade to iOS seventeen. Because Apple has made it so that you don't necessarily have to update to the latest, they will still give you security updates even if you don't do the new the new major updates. Oh okay, oh look it's it's available. Upgrade just one more, Let's do two more features. FaceTime
reactions. You can like do like a thumbs up and FaceTime and it'll send like a thumbs up bubble. Or you can do a piece sign. It'll do balloons. Two piece signs will do confetti. There's also a new standby mode, so if you turn your phone when it's charging on its side, it'll have like a photo display or a calendar whatever you want on there. And then finally, when you want to crop a photo, now you can just zoom in on it and you'll see a little crop button in the upper
right hand corner. You can now tap that to crop the photo. It's a feature I know that Samsung has had for years, and so you know, just give a little shout out to them. But now it's on the iPhone. Apples catching up. Okay, that's cool. Those look like fun and things that I can actually use Yes, I think so. So Google has a version of chat GPT that can help make your life easier when it
comes to searching for stuff. Huh. Yeah. So the big thing about chat GBT is that it's not connected to the Internet and so when you ask it stuff, it may not know the you know, the right answer,
that's if it's current. So Google there there's their AI is called bard b A R D. So if you want to try it out, go to Bard dot Google dot com and yeah, you can search all the stuff that you would do on chat GBT, but it also is connected to the Internet, so you can say like who won the game last night or whatever. But the new feature they have is it can actually go into your Gmail and use that as a source, not just your Gmail but also your documents stored
on Google Drive. So what does that mean. Well, you can analyze your Gmail so you can say things like, hey, Bard, you know, give me the updates that I need to know about my kids school this week, like what's happening or what's the name of the school play? Or you know, what did my boss what my favorite Amy? I said, Hey, can you analyze all the emails between me and my wife and give me the sentiment of our discussions, and it totally went through every email and
exactly explained our relationship. I thought that was really wild. And what did it say? That things are good or needing? It said that things are good so we should stay together, which I thought was good. Thank you AI. But I sent the whole thing to my wife. I'm not kidding. It was like five paragraphs of analysis from like you know, day one, and I said, overall, the sentiment of emails is overwhelmingly positive and loving. You clearly cared deeply about each other, and your emails reflect that.
How cute is that? I know? So now I gotta do it my boss and see, like what I don't know if I'm ready for that one. Just don't share with your boss what it finds out. Yeah, exactly. Okay. Amazon has a new version of just walk about for clothes. Yeah, this is just walk out. So have you okay? So have you been to one of those Amazon stores where you just walk out or no? Like, no, we haven't. Okay, so you're aware of it, right, yes? Okay? So they have that in their grocery
stores in the LA area. There's a bunch of them. We're basically you just pick stuff off the shelves and you walk out. And that's using cameras, machine learning, artificial intelligence, all this stuff to figure out that you picked up a soup, which soup you picked up, and you know you didn't put it back on the shelf, and you walked out of the store
with it and they charge you afterwards. Okay, so that does not really work for clothing because you know, people try on clothes, you know, those things need to be in a box, they need to have a label. And so they basically came up with new RFID technology. RFID is a radio frequency tag, so they put a special tag on clothing and now you can just walk out with the clothes you want after trying them on. They
tried this out up in Seattle at two different arenas. They said, of course people buy more, people use it, they love it, and it's just frictionless so you don't really have to think about checking out at a cashier. You just walk out. Okay, so that's going to be really interesting when someone tries to smash and grab well, Amy, I know, isn't it sad that we live in la and this is how we think because now it's just like, oh, smashing grabs are cool because we'll just charge you
for that. It's going to reduce the store shrinkage, right, Oh my gosh, I mean it's so wild. I mean, in retail, shrinkage is everything. I mean, I've worked in retail, and of course, you know, people walk out with stuff all the time. Now, let's be honest with this. You have to have a card on file. Obviously it can't just you know, but I mean, it's just it's kind of
interesting. Yeah. Okay, So before we go, I have to share a tech thing that you probably already know, but it's something that somebody somebody sent to me and I just got such a kick out of it. So if you go to Google and search dog, okay, and then you'll see a picture of a dog and a little paw comes up in the upper upper left hand corner. I see it, oh, right hand corner. Right, Oh, mine's on the left. Weird time. Okay, Well, anyway, touch the touch the paw, yeah, and it goes. And
you can do it with cat too. So if you search cat and then you love it, you hit the paw and then a cat doog comes up and goes marrow. Oh now my entire cursor. Anywhere I tap as it, it puts a paw print. Oh it's not just when you so the first time I guess is to activate it. Now I've Paul prints all over my screen. This is really funny, and you've actually taught me something. So Amy, I know there's a lot of Easter eggs on Google. You
can actually my son loves finding these things. I don't think he's found this one. I love this. Okay, good so, and it's great for pet owners. Yes it is. I swear. I've shared it with everybody and we just laugh and laugh because it's ridiculous. But okay, next stop it. Oh and then it cleans it off. Oh my gosh, that's funny. Little muddy paw prints alive your screen. Thank you so much. Rich Jamiro the KTLA's tech reporter and also a host of Rich on Tech right
here on KFI. You can listen to him Saturdays from eleven am to two pm with all the tech stuff you need to know, and you can also follow Rich on Instagram at rich on Tech. His website is rich on Tech dot TV. Thanks again, Rich, talk to you next week. Have a great day. All right, right now, it's time for the biz buzz z. Jane, Are you singing? I am. I just think Eric Losardo made that little ditty and it just cracks me up every time I hear. Good morning, Amy King, Good morning, and welcome our CNBC
special correspondent, Jane. Well, so, Jane, we got lots to talk about today, and we're going to start out with the Fed and interest rates. Are they going up again? Well? Probably not. The FED is meeting today and they could raise rates that they could also cut them, but most people think they're going to keep them where they are right now. The important thing is we want to hear what Sherman Powell has to say afterwards in a news conference about the future and whether you know rates could go up
again or is inflation coming down enough to stop him from raising rates? And for the Fed, even though inflation is still above the fed's goal of two percent right now, inflation is running about three point seven percent. The problem is we know we're seeing a lot of inflation and gas prices back up over six dollars a gallon in southern California. Oil is over ninety dollars a barrel
as the Saudiast cut production. And even though we talked about this last time, gas prices, energy prices are left out of the monthly inflation numbers because they move up and down too much. Well, the cost of gas goes into the prices of a lot of things which are in that monthly data, because say the washing machine you buy is more expensive because transforming it costs more.
So if oil prices stay high, and we've seen that effect continue into the price of a lot of things, aflation will go back up and the FED may probably start to raise rates again to cool down the economy. Great in Gas prices in southern California are up again today, up another four cents for La County to six o seven a gallon. It's it's still below the record we had in October last year, where you know, with six forty nine I think was the average, but you know, we were seeing it
over seven dollars from places. But it's it, you know, That's the one thing I think California's in particular notice more than anything else, is what happens with gas. You can go up, like you said, four cents, and we're like, oh, you know which in a gallon of gas four cents ten gallons you know whatever. You're talking like a buck overall more if you have twenty gat whatever. Well, but it's also fifty cents a gallon more than it was a week ago. So I mean it's shooting up
fast. Well, yes, yes it is. And it's going to cost you about the price of a latte more to fill up your tank, which is, if you put in that perspective, it's not that big a deal. But for some reason, we just go bananas when we see it go up. It's like, oh my god. Okay, well, companies, let's talk about going green. There's a lot of companies talking about it,
but are they walking the walk? No? Heky next subject. There's this whole thing in the Wall Street Journal that and there's a big climate conference in the UN this week, and Governor Newsom is going to sign this bill which will make large companies report their greenhouse gas emissues. All these companies are big, Oh, we're gonna be green, We're gonna be carbon neutral, mining
companies, airlines, oil companies. They're finding out, oh wait, we're not going to meet those goals in time and amy one reason they said they thought they could do it is they're going to buy these carbon offsets or carbon credits. You know, I use this much carbon, so I'm going to
buy a credit from somebody who doesn't use as much. Well, that markets turned out to be murky and a bunch of bologny, and so now all these companies are like hum, maybe we can't depend on that to be neutral, which I think it's fake way to be neutral anyhow, Right, Okay, so Instacart, it's a good day to have instacart stock. Well, it was yesterday. We'll see what happens you years instacart, I never have I use it. It was huge during the pandemic, and then when people
started going to the store restaurants again, it went down. So it hasn't been a very good market for IPOs on the stock market this year. But Instacart went public yesterday. It started at thirty dollars, shot up to forty two, ended the day down at thirty four. So still up. I'll see what happens to it the rest of the week. It's down a little pre market, but it's still above its IPO price. And this really is
a test over whether more companies want to go public again. It's just investors haven't been willing to go nuts over these new companies because interest rates her up and you know, the higher inflation. So it's one to watch it. It had a very good Day's gonna wait and see what happens. I guess what. Birkenstock is going public soons, So there you go. Wekes. I used to when I lived in Oregon. It was the thing. And I just saw Birkenstocks in Nordstrom the other day. They've gone totally mainstream.
They have they thank women of course for their success, and yeah, they're going to be going public too. So I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what the growth is for Birkenstocks, except I do not like wearing heels anymore since the pandemic. I haven't either. I totally wear flats, tennis shoes, flip flops. I'm done with heels, all right. Jane Wells, thank you so much for your time this morning, and
hopefully we will check in with you again very soon. But you can find out the latest from Jane any old time on substack at Jane Wells dot substack dot com. Thanks Jane. By Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour News Froom. Governor Newsom is set to address the United Nations Climate Ambition Summit in New York.

Danny Masterson's wife has filed for divorce following the actor's thirty year prison sentence for rape. ABC's Jason Nathanson says ju Phillips cited irreconcilable differences in court documents filed Monday. She's asking for custody of their nine year old daughter and spousal support, and she wants

Phillips stood by Masterson during the rapecase and wrote a letter to the judge in support of her husband's character before he was sentenced. Her attorney says her daughter remains her priority. LA police say there's no evidence
to suggest the deaths of two models in downtown La are related. The women were found dead in their apartments last week, within a couple of days of each other. They lived about three miles apart. One of the deaths has been listed as a homicide. The estimated jackpot for the next Megamillions lottery drawing is up to two hundred five million. One tickets sold in Kentucky matched five numbers last night, but was missing the mega number. That ticket is worth
a million dollars. The next drawing is Friday, and the Powerball jackpot is worth more than a half billion dollars. For tonight's drawing, there hasn't been a jackpot winner since July win. Someone in California won that Whopper one point zero eight billion. Tonight's drawing is worth an estimated six hundred seventy eight million dollars. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Good morning, Jim. So the Marines found they're missing multimillion dollars jet but there
are a lot of questions about it. Yeah, and we may or may not get many answers the military. I mean, you're dealing with a state of the art weapons system that crashes in the woods. Is it likely we're going to learn a lot of details. Probably not if it were a commercial or a civilian aircraft, maybe, but not in this case. But suffice it to say that the plane has been found, or what's left of it.
I've seen an aerial image of the wooded area in South Carolina where it went down, and there's just not much left to that plane, some broken trees and stuff scattered around. It appears to have simply disintegrated when it crashed. How fast do those things fly? Very fast? I mean they can go, you know, hit the speed of sound. And it covered that seventy miles or so from the point the pilot ejected until it crashed. It covered that in about six minutes time. So it was hall and when it
headed up that after the pilot went out. Okay, so here's my question, which you just said. We're probably not going to get answers too. But the military is saying that the pilot before he ejected, put the autopilot on. So why did it crash six minutes later? Why didn't it just keep going? Yeah? Well, at the same time, you know that that means that the pilot had time to think about that to saying, you know, I'm gonna go ahead and set the autopilot here, turned that thing
on. It's kind of okay, our conditioning is off, okay, and then fire the ejector this. You know, you think about an injection in the constituation because it means that the plane is about to crash and unless that pilot ejects, he or she is going to be killed in the crash. So that makes more sense. Yeah, So you would think that's the situation that you wouldn't have much time to do anything like like set the autopilot.
But that's what this pilot did. The only thing the Marine Corps has characterized this as is as a is a mishap in terms of the ejection of the pilot. Why the pilot ejected a mishap. They wouldn't say it was a mechanical malfunction. They won't say it was something else, just that it was a mishap that forced the pilot to eject. Pilot walks down under a parachute into a residential neighborhood and Charleston treated at a hospital and released now and undoubtedly
will sit down with investigators today. As the debris gathered up there in South Carolina. Here's another question, then, why didn't the wingman stay with the jet? Why didn't You're the second person who's mentioned wingman. I haven't seen anything about a wingman who was flying alongside this one. So they go up on their own. I thought they always had more than one going with them. No, no, Nosari, they can they you know, but it's
possible, and I simply haven't seen it. But I've seen nothing about a second aircraft involved here, okay, And they f thirty five is a stealth jet. So and they were saying, oh, well, we couldn't find it. So, but does that have to do with the stealth or because for whatever reason, the transponder wasn't working both, you know both and the altitude too. But you're right, the transponder wasn't set the pilot either, you know, it was either it was either turned off or had malfunctioned,
maybe didn't have electricity or something. But it's the transponder that communicates with radar systems so that the radar screens light up when this plane is is there within range. But the plane was maybe flying at a thousand feet when the pilot ejected, so it might not have gone much above that by the time it crashed, which would have put it below most radar sets, and also the transponder issues, so I think that kind of explains why it was lost.
Yeah, for a fly over a thousand feets, pretty cool for this instance, not so great. Okay, one O, one other question I'm curious about. So the Marines grounded everybody for like two days, so they're gonna start flying again today technically, right. I tried to back that up, and that appears to be correct that today is the day they'd get back in the air. This is the third incident involving the Marines here in the last in the last month May twenty four, or rather, I'm sorry, August
twenty fourth, a Marine Corps F eighteen hornet crashed at San Diego. Pilot was killed, and then shortly after that a Marine Corps osprey crashed and three people were killed. So you know they've had some issues there. So the Marines say, let's let's pause this for a couple of days and take a look. I would think maybe it would warrant a little more than a couple of days. That's just my thought. Well, it worked fast and so all right, Well, luckily the pilot's okay in this one, so that's
good. And the plane came down in an unpopulated area, so nobody was hurt on the ground. That's even better, all right, Jim Ryan, thank you so much for your time this morning. Thanks. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A jury in Riverside has convicted an ex con of fatally shooting his aunt and seriously wounding an acquaintance during a disputed a family banquet. The jury took a
day to deliberate yesterday. The shooting happened in twenty eighteen at an Elks lodge. Abraham Bonilla was found guilty of attempted murder, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and other crimes. He'll be sentenced in December. Black Lives Matter LA says it wants LAPD chief More fired. The group's co founder, Molina Abdullah says the department is corrupt and murderous. We know that there have been LAPD officers who were convicted of raping police cadets, and this is
all under Michael Moore's watch. So Michael Moore must go the buck. Stops with him. The group packed the LA Police Commission meeting yesterday, demanding future meetings we moved to days and times that are more accessible to the public. The LAPD has not responded to kifi's request for comment. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahoo and President Bidener said to meet in New York today. It'll be their first meeting since Netnyaho took office as leader of his country's far right government late last year. A few research polls says most Americans are not confident in the country's political system. Only four percent think it's working extremely or very well. Nearly two thirds have little or no confidence in politics. The poll also shows a favorable view of government is at an all time low. Close to sixty
percent say the federal government doesn't do much for the people. Hey, if you're looking for a little side hustle for the season, maybe you want to make a little extra money for the holidays. Amazon is adding sixteen thousand workers to which warehouses in southern California at ahead of the holidays. It's part of a seasonal seasonal push to fill two hundred and fifty thousand jobs across the US.
The average starting pay for new employees is twenty dollars and fifty cents an hour, but in some areas base wages could be as high as twenty eight bucks. Kind of cool, right, Oh, and when you're talking about seasonal spending, we're being more cautious with our spending. US consumers are cutting back on spending. You know, prices are high and going higher, and
gas prices six h seven a gallon in La County. But a new report says the vast majority of adults have reduced spending over the past six months and planned to continue cutting back as we head into the holidays. So that could be interesting for retailers who really rely on the holiday season to get in or get out of the red for the year. This is KFI and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
