The moment.

I walked outside this morning and there was like missed. Oh yeah, it wasn't really drizzled. It was just this light, light, light mist. And I was like, that makes me think of Johnny Maths. Isn't that who it is?

I thought London, the city of London, but yeah, Johnny Athestu.

Okay, when I was in London it was sunny and warm, so I don't have a good reference.

That mist is making for a messy drive in some spots. So I'll have that coming up.

All right, thank you, thank you. Will Colech there. Hey, guess who's back in the nest. Sonny came back yesterday. First she was hovering over the nest, of course, talking about the big bear eagles.

Yeah, quite a bit of it.

Actually, looking at the Caltrans cameras, it's hard to see even the lights of the traffic there. On I fifteen's you hit southbound through the cohone Pass, a little bit of slowing. It's slower than usual at this time of day, but probably because of that fog, So just factor that into your drive. Also, quite a bit of slowing on the northbound side of the five. This is going to be in the downy Norwalk area between the six oh five and slows and that's Caltrans roadwork that is being picked up.

It's overdue.

It's supposed to be picked up at around five, but now it's going to go a little overtime there, so expect some slowing again northbound five six oh five up to Slawson and on the northbound seventy one at Valley Boulevard, we've got a pickup truck that went over the side as well. CHP is there on the side dealing with that with Southern California's most accurate traffic reports.

I will Cole Schreiber, thank you.

Will.

Well's going to keep us up to date as the morning goes on, make sure you can get where you're going. As you mentioned, the road's a little bit soggy, and I was a little bit worried about it. It was a little bit slippy, yeah, but not bad because it wasn't like rain rain, right, although yesterday we had rain in the valley. Oh we had rain at my house too. We had and thunder, the thunder and lightning. Was I'm so.

All right, looks like we have Rich dmiro Yay on the line because we got a lot to talk about.

Good morning, Rich, Hey, good morning to you Amy.

Okay, so we got a Nintendo switch to I bet a lot of parents are well. I bet a lot of kids are excited. Their parents are ready to fork over some cash. So let's talk about it because it's it's sort of a long awaited release.

Yeah, this has been eight years in the making since the original one came out. And yeah, tonight tonight, so it's interesting it actually launches.

And I'm really bad at this stuff.

But it's midnight Thursday, which is actually like nine pm tonight Pacific. So retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, they are going to have this tonight game stop Target, And yes it does launch at midnight, but I think that's on the East Coast, so that's apparently nine pm here. Four hundred and fifty dollars for the console. Five hundred dollars if you want the bundle. That is what the experts are saying to get because the games are pricey on this anywhere from seventy to ninety dollars.

Of course, it's going to be improved.

It's got a bigger screen, it's got better resolution, better frame rate, faster magnetic attaching controllers.

So there's a lot to like here.

It's going to be kind of a big deal for gamers because this is a long time coming.

Like you said, Okay, you mentioned bigger screen. Don't you play it on just a TV?

Well, the thing about the switch that's kind of unique is that it works as both the portable.

Gaming system and it can connect to your TV.

And that's kind of the magic that Nintendo invented a couple of years ago.

So that's what's pretty cool about this.

Okay, So I heard that they're already sold out. All the pre orders are sold out, So can you get one?

Good question.

Pre Orders are sold out, but that does not mean that the stores will not have them tonight. The pre order people will get them, but they're going to of course, like any other event that I've been to in the you know, many years I've been covering this. The stores want people there in person, so they will have you know, it might be limited. We don't know, you know, we don't know what the stock is on this. It could

Of course.

Pre orders, yes, have sold out instantly pretty much every time, but there will be some stock tonight for sure.

Okay, but that's part of the fun of it. When it's something that's so much anticipated like this, is going and getting in line and seeing if you can get one, and yeah.

Except it could be pretty stressful. I think, I know, I know some.

People that really want one of these tonight, and it's you know, it's very strategic. Where do I go, What time do I get there? How long am I going to wait in line? When do they tell you that there's nothing. Some of these places they're using raffles, which means even if you're this first person in line, you still may not get it because the thirtieth person might win the raffle. So it just sort of depends.

I don't like that raffle idea personally me either.

Me either.

I'm like, if you're going to get there early in camp out, you should be first in line.

Yeah.

I think the last time I camped out for one of these things was the PlayStation two, which goes to show you how long I've been doing this.

Okay, so let's move on and talk about It's called Wise's New light Bulb Camera. So it's a tricky little gadget.

Yeah, I think they're going to sell a gazillion of these. It's so brilliant. Think about this, a light bulb that screws into a socket, but at the end there is a small security camera on it. So now anywhere you have a light bulb socket, you can install a camera without wires, without solar, without batteries. And the thing about this amy is that people buy these things like crazy

That's not bad.

And you can connect up to five of them, so you can actually have additional light bulbs that are seventeen dollars each, and then if the camera sees motion, it'll turn on all the light bulbs. So it's a really smart little system without a lot of wiring.

Okay, and then does it also it's got the cameras on it, so then do you see what's going on on your phone? Kind of like a ring.

Camera exactly, so you can see on your phone.

You can use the app or it can also record locally, so if you don't want to pay any subscription fees, it can record onto a memory card built into the device, or I guess you put it into the device. The only problem with that is we know amy that if someone stole the camera, they would also steal the memory card.

Okay, And it's sold by Wyswyze.

Yeah, and they're pretty well known.

They've had a couple of little security issues in the past, but they've really polished those up. So I have no problem suggesting that this is a recommendation of a good camera.

I have to test it out, but seems like a really good solution.

Okay, perfect. Then Photoshop, which we all know what that is, but I didn't know it wasn't available on Android, but now it's going to be.

Yeah.

Photoshop launched a version of their mobile app on the iPhone a couple months ago, and everyone was like, wait, what about Android? What about Android? And now guess you can get it on Android. It's a beta version of the app, so not every feature is there, but it brings a lot of those like Photoshop features people love to Android phones, like layering, masking, you can select little objects, you can sort of get blemishes off of people or whatever,

You can literally.

Erase the mountains and added ocean. So it's free right now. You can get on Android and it will be free during the beta period and most of the features are I guess many of the features will remain free, but.

At some point they will introduce some paid features to okay.

And then you've got a new voice to text app for iPhone users, which what do you need that? Because I do the voice to text on my iPhone all the time and I don't have a specific app for it.

And are you correcting what it does all the time, like I am, Well, yes, it's horrible.

I mean it's really bad.

It's bad, but it's not as bad as my typing.

No, and it's a little bit faster, and yes, to Apple's credit, it has gotten better. But if you try this, it is called whisper flow WISPR. I will put the link on my website rich on tech dot tv because people are just searching and find different things. But there is an official app. I'm not kidding, Amy. This is single handedly the best app I've ever downloaded on the iPhone.

Really, it is so good. I'm telling you.

It gets the punctuation right, it gets the proper nouns right. If you say spult a boulevard, it will get it. Or if you say lasienga like I used to say it before I moved to California, it'll get that right.

But this is really cool.

It's free to use for the basic features, and I'm not kidding it is it is so perfect because it does use AI.

So there's a little quirk.

About how you have to activate it every time, which is kind of annoying, but it does work and it's just tried it out see if you like it.

It's it's really really cool.

Okay, whisper flow without.

The h exactly.

Okay. That is all the great tech advice from our tech guy, rich Demiro. You can hear him every weekend on a show called rich on Tech right here on KFI Saturdays. It's from eleven to two. Of course, you can see him. We love seeing you on KTL. You can follow him on Instagram at rich on Tech and everything that we've talked about here and what he talks about on KTLA, you can find all that information on his website, rich on Tech dot TV. Thanks so much, Rich Dmiro.

Thanks for having me Amy. Have a great day.

And uh I hopefully I can help you out, maybe steer you towards the really good things, maybe steer you away from things that are just a waste of your time. This one a long time coming. It's The Handmaid's Tale Hulu. The six seasons are all now completely out. The series finale has dropped. That dropped last week, and I went ahead and watched it. And I have been a big

So here's what happened good morning in this report a sponsored by Total Wine and more so, the federers ave put limits on Wells Fargo's size to penalize the bank for a number of misdeeds, which included employees opening millions of unauthorized customer accounts. So what happened is the Federalserve restricted the bank's size for more than seven years. But this closes the door on nearly a decade of scandals

Up this whole big mess.

But the move by the Fed now and this unprecedented punishment, this never happened before, but it restricted the bank's ability to grow. It also restricted their ability to compete with its financial peers. So right now investors are pretty excited about it that they're going to be back, they're going to be competitive, and Wells Fargo shares are hire in the pre market.

A Courtney the scandal was it Wells Fargo that was creating accounts for people?

Yes, they were opening millions of unauthorized customer accounts, but that wasn't the only thing. What was happening is they were getting a ton of pressure from bank management a lot of the employees to be able to speed up their growth. And at the time, back many years ago, I mean Wells Fargo was the third biggest bank in the country, and now they ended up bringing in a

We'll see if they do it right this time. Okay, Exactly a lot of people bought pelotons during the pandemic because there was nothing to do and nowhere to go. And now people want to get rid of them, and now they can. Yeah, well take those pants.

Hanging on your unused peloton and you could sell now your bike. They're in the process of launching a new platform so folks can sell their use bikes, treadmills, another peloton equipment right now. Really, the way to be able to do it is through Facebook Marketplace. That's how I ended up getting my peloton. This is called Peloton repowered, so it gives them part of the deal, which also helps them, so it's not a deal on the side

So yeah, not good. Okay, So if you want used peloton, you can sell it and you can buy it used. Now that's exact. And I would imagine that a lot of those used units are very gently used, as they call it.

As I said, there's a lot of Pelotons sitting there with clothes.

It's a coat rack instead. Yeah, okay, Hey, is it going to be a gentle day on Wall Street or we're in for a rocky roam.

Well, here's what happened yesterday. Stocks finished the day higher. Data show the labor market is still holding up. We got a report on job openings the unexpectedly in April that lifted the major benchmarks in the dowrows two hundred fourteen points.

Now, this morning.

Earlier we were building on that momentum, but then we got a big miss on another piece of key data in the whole entire employment picture. Leaning up to the big jobs report this Friday, so eighty p said, hiring private payrolls cool to the slowest pace in two years. Private sector payrolls increased by thirty seven thousand last month. That's not a lot. I mean, it missed so many expectations of economists. So it looks like the strong start

Okay, well, we'll keep an eye on it. That's getting in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho. Thanks, we'll do it again tomorrow. See you later, all right, have a good one. Former legal bigwig Tom Girardi has been send to more than seven years in federal prison for stealing more than fifteen million bucks from his clients in a

Things are not as they seem. So well, this guy, according to DHS, two weeks ago, sent a threatening letter to the President of United States, which obviously is a big deal, but it might kind of be all a ruse because, according to local authorities in Wisconsin, the letter that was sent on behalf of, or purporting to be from, this guy named Ramon Morales Res, who was in the

Oh my god, I mean, like awfully brilliant plan if it would have worked, right. So the guy's in jail right now, waiting for his trial or is he.

Out, No, he's in jail waiting for his trial.

And the kind of kicker to all this is that Morales Reys was supposed to testify against this guy on July sixteenth. And so this is all kind of laid out in this court document, which has text of recordings that were made on jailhouse phones. Were basically this guy who's in prison and who allegedly victimized Morales Reyes was laying this all out for everybody to hear, including jail staff.

Okay, and I know you have to go. Are they trying to keep him here? Now? See?

Well, DHS has told us that the investigation of the strata is ongoing. They realized that he was determined to be in the country illegally and he's a criminal record. He will remain in custody, in ice custody, but it remains to be seen if he's going to meet that July sixteenth deadline, which is the day for this guy his trial may be seen, if he'll be in the country or.

Not, or even if he'll be allowed to testify. Okay, I think they're got to sort that out during immigration court.

And other than that, does Ramon Morales Rayas have a criminal record?

He does.

DHS says that he was in and out of the country at least nine times between nineteen ninety eight and two thousand and five.

After that kind of becomes.

Hazy where he was, but obviously he was in the country when he got picked up by Ice and is a convicted criminal.

Accordantize crazy Okay. ABC's law enforcement reporter Luke Barr would love to talk more about this, but thanks for getting us up to date on it. What a crazy story.

Crazy story.

Talk to you guys later.

I take care. So he doesn't want the guy to testify against him, so he fakes an assassination letter against President Trump so he'll get deported. That'll get you in trouble, which it looks like it's gonna work. Yeah, And like initially I'm thinking, well, then should they should? He should testify and then he should get a pass because of that. But if he has a criminal record before that becomes a little more sketchy. Yeah, all right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
