00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:08.160
You're listening to Wake Up Call on
demand from kf I AM six forty K

2
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:19.679
five and kost H T two,
Los Angeles, Orange County. Now,

3
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:35.520
Daddy, Aby King, it's five
o'clock. This is your wake up call

4
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.079
for Monday, September eighteenth. Good
morning, I'm Amy King. Well,

5
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.960
we're gonna be talking Dodgers today.
We're gonna be talking about voting today.

6
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.600
It's a very important day. We're
gonna talk about gas prices. Oh my

7
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.560
god, the gas station of my
neighborhood I've filled up on Friday. It

8
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:58.399
jumped like thirty cents from Thursday to
Friday. And then when I was driving

9
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:03.320
in this morning, I saw it
had jumped another thirty cents a gallon.

10
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.799
So I know the average prices is
not up that much, but at my

11
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.200
gas station in the last like four
days, it's gone up sixty cents a

12
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:17.640
gallon. We've also got cheeseburgers to
talk about today, Khan. I was

13
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.480
excited about that National Cheeseburger Day.
Love cheeseburgers. So we're gonna have some

14
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:23.920
fun. But we've also got some
serious stuff, so let's get into it.

15
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.599
Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. A two hundred and fifty thousand

16
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:33.439
dollar reward has been offered for information
leading to the person who ambushed and killed

17
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.359
in La County Sheriff's deputy in Palmdale. It happened Saturday in front of the

18
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.719
Palmdale sheriff station. United Auto Workers
President Sean Fain says there hasn't been much

19
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:48.239
project progress in talks with the Big
three automakers. The strike is entering its

20
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.120
fourth day. He says the fight
is about the CEOs making millions off the

21
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.840
backs of low paid workers. Vowing
to pressure and backlash. Drew Barrymore has

22
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.120
decided not to start up her daytime
talk show again, at least not for

23
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.120
now. She says the show will
not return until the writer's strike ends.

24
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.199
Writers are expected to sit down with
the studios for a new round of talks

25
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.439
this week. Let's get started with
some of the stories coming out of the

26
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.879
Kfight twenty four hour newsroom. The
price of regular gas in La County has

27
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.199
shot up almost fourteen cents in one
day. That was yesterday. It's up

28
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.400
another five cents on average today.
The average is now five ninety two a

29
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.919
gallon in La County. That's the
highest since October of last year. The

30
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.639
average in Orange County up almost seventeen
cents a gallon yesterday, it's at five

31
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.879
ninety one. In the Inland Empire, the average is five seventy seven.

32
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.840
The Auto Club is blaming high oil
costs. The national average ah another reason

33
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.000
to love California. The national average
is three dollars in eighty nine cents a

34
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.599
gallon. A lawmaker from Irvine has
advanced a bill to the governor intended to

35
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.400
help law enforcement fight online sales of
fentinel. The measure, pushed by Assemblywoman

36
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.080
Katty Petri Norris, requires social media
companies to keep data that's associated with the

37
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.680
sale and distribution of illegal drugs,
including fentyl. Currently, many platforms allow

38
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.000
users to erase chats, but if
signed by the governor, the new law

39
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.360
would require social media companies to post
policies that that info could be shared with

40
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:23.680
law enforcement, and requires companies to
keep data associated with accounts suspended for drug

41
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:29.560
activity for ninety days. Corbin Carson
k if I news Drew Barrymore is not

42
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.080
restarting her talk show during the writers
strike after all. She made the announcement

43
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:37.319
yesterday following days of criticism for planning
to go ahead with the show. Barrymore

44
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.280
also apologize to anyone she hurts.
She now says the show will restart when

45
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.560
the strike is over. Members of
the Biden administration have been sent to Detroit

46
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:53.840
to support talks between the Big three
automakers and striking workers. The union members

47
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.719
walked off the job last week demanding
better pay and benefits. ABC says there

48
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.560
were meetings with Ford and GM over
the weekend and there will be a meeting

49
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:10.080
with Statlantis today. Ford is laid
off six hundred workers at its assembly plant

50
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:15.400
in Wayne, Michigan, as the
United Auto Workers strike continues. General Motors

51
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.399
is putting two thousand people out of
work as it pauses production at its Fairfax

52
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:24.240
assembly plant in Kansas. The UAW
says the automakers are putting the squeeze on

53
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:29.199
the union to settle for less by
laying off people who are not on strike.

54
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.439
Two public universities in California have come
out on top. UCLA has tied

55
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.959
with UC Berkeley for the number one
spot and the top public schools and the

56
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:43.759
twenty twenty four US News and World
Report Best Colleges in America list. UCLA

57
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.959
and UC Berkeley also tied for number
fifteen in the overall rankings of universities in

58
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.959
the nation. Among the factors considered
in the survey where academic reputation, cost

59
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.120
of attendance, and return on investment. Nearly a third of the Westwood University

60
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:02.959
students our first generation college students Andy
Wells KFI News. Investigators with the La

61
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:08.040
County Sheriff's Department are trying to find
those responsible for the deadly shooting of an

62
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:12.720
on duty deputy in Palmdale. Sheriff
Luna says the best clue so far might

63
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.839
be grainy surveillance video showing a car
pulling up alongside a patrol suv at the

64
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.959
intersection of Sierra Highway in Avenue Q. The vehicles described as a two thousand

65
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:28.680
six to two twelve Toyota Corolla,
dark gray in color. Luna said yesterday

66
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.560
he wants anyone with any type of
video or recollection of being in the area

67
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.560
to come forward. On Saturday night, Deputy Ryan clincken Bremer was sitting in

68
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.160
the suv as he was approached trump
behind and shot in the head. And

69
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.600
these suspects and I'm going to continuously
refer to them as cowards because that's what

70
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.800
they are cowards to attack a deputy
sheriff and uniform in a black and white

71
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.600
who's just sitting there at a red
light about to go out and serve our

72
00:05:54.680 --> 00:06:00.920
community. That is absolutely one hundred
percent unacceptable. A bystander saw Clintin Brumer

73
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.240
slumped over the steering wheel. They
ran over to the Palmdale station across the

74
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:08.879
street and reported the attack. Clinkin
Brumer was taken to the Antelope Valley Medical

75
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:14.600
Center, where he was pronounced Dad. Deputy Broomer was thirty years old and

76
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.720
an eight year veteran of our Sheriff's
department. He worked the majority of his

77
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:24.959
tenures serving this Palmdale community. Clintin
Brumer was also a field training deputy.

78
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.360
His family was slown by helicopter from
their homes in Santa Clarita to the hospital

79
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.920
in Lancaster Saturday night. A few
hours later, Sheriff Luna announced that Clintin

80
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:38.399
Brumer had passed away. Clinton Brumer's
death isn't just a blow to the department,

81
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.879
but also the cities of Palmdale and
Lancaster. Lauren Bettencourt's the Mayor of

82
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:47.839
Palmdale. We stand together to mourn
and pay tribute to Deputy Ryan Clintin Brumer,

83
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.600
or Clink as we affectionately call him
here at the station, who made

84
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.759
the ultimate sacrifice in the line of
duty. We have profound sorrow regarding this

85
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.839
unacceptable, an unprovoked attack, and
emotions are running high. Let me be

86
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:11.399
crystal clear, this was an act
of murder. This individual or individuals our

87
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.680
spineless criminals, and our community will
join together to bring them to Jestin County

88
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.600
Supervisor Katherine Barger announced yesterday a reward
of one hundred thousand dollars. It was

89
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:25.279
matched by the City of Palmdale,
with another fifty thousand contributed by the primary

90
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.120
union representing deputies, for a total
of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars,

91
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:33.199
with more expected. Deputy Clinkin Bremer
was a third generation member of law enforcement.

92
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:39.480
His father and grandfather were also La
County Sheriff's deputies, and just four

93
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:44.959
days before he was shot, Ryan
Clinkinbroomer had just proposed to his girlfriend for

94
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.600
a wake up call. I'm Steve
Gregory KFI News. You know Steve had

95
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:55.480
some really powerful posts over the weekend
on Instagram and Facebook of the procession for

96
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.560
the deputy if you get a chance
to go check out Steve Gregory, or

97
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:05.680
you also go to the KFI Instagram
page because it's up there too. Let's

98
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:07.360
get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour

99
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:13.079
newsroom. A spokesman for Iran's Foreign
ministry says a prisoner swap with the US

100
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:18.199
is happening. Announced on State TV
that six billion dollars in Iranian oil money,

101
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.079
once frozen in South Korea has been
transferred to Cutter. ABC's Justin Finch

102
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.920
says that's a key part of the
deal to swap five Iranian prisoners in the

103
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.319
US for five Americans held in Iran. They had the sin of Intelligence Committee

104
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.159
Mark Warner expressing concern about what Iran
may do with that six billion dollars.

105
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.480
He wants more details on the constraints
being placed on that money. The Biden

106
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:45.360
administration has said it'll make sure the
money only goes toward humanitarian causes, not

107
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.720
Iran's nuclear program. It's not clear
how the US would do that. A

108
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:54.039
man from Willowbrook is looking it up
to twenty years in federal prison for robbing

109
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.799
three banks over a span of six
days in twenty nineteen. He's doing court

110
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.200
this afternoon. Ricky Lewis did guilty
last year to three counts of bank robbery

111
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.120
and one count of attempt at bank
robbery. Prosecutors say he threatened to shoot

112
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:11.039
bank tellers and got away with just
over four thousand dollars. A child is

113
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.919
suing the Claremont School District, claiming
the district and school officials failed to protect

114
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.960
him from other students who bullied and
attacked him on campus this last spring,

115
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.679
forcing his mom to pull him out
of school for his protection. The lawsuit,

116
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.399
filed on his behalf by his mother, alleged's assault and battery, dangerous

117
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:35.600
conditions at L Robel Intermediate School,
negligent supervision, and negligent hiring, training

118
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.919
and retention. The plaintiffs seeks unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages. The lawsuit claims

119
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:48.720
L Roble School also has an ongoing
issue issue with students fighting. A pilot

120
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.960
based in Van Nuys or at Van
Nuys Airport, has been killed at an

121
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:58.080
air racing event in Reno. Two
planes collided after they landed. The other

122
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.039
pilot was also killed. Yesterday.
She'll say there were no civilian injuries and

123
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.360
that they were in the process of
gathering and confirming more details about what led

124
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.120
to the crash. President Biden is
in New York for the UN General Assembly.

125
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:16.279
ABC's Derek Wallace's tens of thousands of
climate activists are also in Manhattan,

126
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.759
calling on Biden to end the use
of fossil fuel, calling attention to the

127
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.799
climate emergency that no doubt many of
the world leaders here for the UN General

128
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:30.639
Assembly are also finally focused on today
he's actually getting to work, not just

129
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:35.320
holding high level meetings, but also
holding re election fundraisers. Tickets for tonight's

130
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:41.039
Broadway for Biden fundraiser are going for
as much as seventy five hundred dollars.

131
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.200
We're gonna be talking with ABC's Karen
Travers in just a couple of minutes to

132
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:50.039
find out what else is on the
agenda for President Biden. Texas Attorney General

133
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.120
Ken Paxton has been acquitted on all
counts at his impeachment trial. State senators

134
00:10:54.159 --> 00:11:00.240
voted Friday on sixteen articles of impeachment. A conviction on any one of them

135
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.720
would have led to an automatic removal
from office. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick says

136
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.480
millions of taxpayer dollars were wasted on
the impeachment effort in the next regular session.

137
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.720
We should amend the constitution. Well, the issue of impeachment is currently

138
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.159
written that allowed this flawed process to
happen. Paxton was accused of abusing the

139
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.320
power of his office to help a
political donor. He is still facing charges

140
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.320
of securities fraud. Okay, so
in case you're just still laying in bed,

141
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.639
check your feet, do you have
socks on? I gotta tell you

142
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:37.840
why you shouldn't do that anymore.
So, apparently research have found a researchers

143
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.039
have found that wearing socks to bed
is worse than sleeping in a toilet.

144
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.919
They did a poll of more than
a thousand people. About eighteen percent of

145
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:52.519
people wear socks to bed. No
no, it sounds suffocating. No no,

146
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.120
no, Well, on a cold
night, which we don't get cold

147
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.840
winter's nights here. But when I
used to live in Oregon and you go

148
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.759
to bed and it's really chilly,
I would put on a good pair of

149
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.960
socks and then it kick them off
once my feet warmed up. But seventy

150
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.080
percent of the people who wear socks
to bed don't change into a clean pair

151
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:18.960
and them apparently that's that's the problem, because some socks when they tested them

152
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:24.279
and checked them for bugs and bacteria
and all that stuff, found that half

153
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:31.879
of them had something called pseudo moons
aragenosa. It's a type of bacteria that

154
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.600
causes infections the mattress next door.
Researchers also discovered that some socks were dirtier

155
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:45.720
than uncleaned TV remotes and dirtier than
toilets. So if you are going to

156
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:50.080
wear socks to bed, the recommendation
is to put on a clean pair of

157
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:56.039
socks. Just so you know.
Uh, did you know that? The

158
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.639
La Dodgers just clinched their tenth National
League West tie in eleven years? Check

159
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.440
this out, Nick oh for four
tonight, swing on a groundball to second

160
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.720
base, bets to Freeman. The
Dodgers win it, six to two.

161
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.799
The Dodgers decade of dominance continues.
They're the best in the West for the

162
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.679
tenth time in the past to eleven
years. Yep, the Dodgers are the

163
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:26.399
champions of the National League Western Division
again. They beat the Mariners tonight six

164
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:33.639
to two. The champs and the
best of the West again. That means

165
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.600
the Dodgers are headed to the playoffs, but not for like three more weeks.

166
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.799
So they still have games to play. You can listen to every game

167
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.840
on AM five seventy l A Sports
and an HD on the iHeartRadio app.

168
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.000
The keyword is A five seventy l
A Sports. The next home game is

169
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.200
tonight at Dodgers Stadium, and then
of course we have Blue Tober coming up,

170
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.879
and we'll keep you posted about that. Can't wait, boys in Blue.

171
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.919
Good job right now, say good
morning to ABC's Karen Travers. Thanks

172
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.840
for patiently waiting, Karen. We've
got President Biden in the Big Apple.

173
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.759
What's he up to this week?
Yeah, he's got fundraisers today, that's

174
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.159
the big focus. He is a
quiet day until this evening when he has

175
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.200
a big round of fundraisers for his
reelection campaign, including a big one on

176
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.840
Broadway with some of the biggest stars
in theater. Then tomorrow he gets down

177
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:26.240
to business at the UN with his
speech to the UN General Assembly and meetings

178
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.840
on the sidelines of that annual gathering
of world leaders, with the Prime Minister

179
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:35.360
of Israel, the President of Brazil, the UN Secretary General, and the

180
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.120
leaders of five Central Asian countries.
The White House says his speech will echo

181
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.320
a similar theme that we've heard from
him before at the UN about advancing a

182
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.759
vision of US leadership built on working
with allies, working with partners to solve

183
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.120
global problems. He's also, of
course, we're going to be talking about

184
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.879
continued support for the war in Ukraine. It's going to be a big issue

185
00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:58.919
that world leaders will be addressing.
And then later this week he'll act,

186
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.519
we welcome to the White House the
Ukrainian President of Vladimore's Zelinsky, and they'll

187
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:09.320
be talking about that continued assistance.
And Zolenski is also going to address the

188
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.559
General Assembly, isn't he or yeah, yeah, he is in New York

189
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.960
and then comes down to Washington,
and you know, I think it's a

190
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.720
big week obviously, but probably the
biggest part of his week for Zelinski is

191
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.240
going up to Capitol Hill, where
he's going to meet with Republicans and Democrats

192
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.919
in both the House and Senate.
And that's important because the administration has asked

193
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.519
for twenty four billion dollars in Ukraine
funding, and right now there is a

194
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.759
loud group of some Republicans in the
House who has said no, they will

195
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.120
not approve that funding. The White
House last week that they felt confident that

196
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.159
there is enough bipartisan support to get
that funding through. But when asked if

197
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.120
the President can assure Zelinsky in their
White House meeting that that money will be

198
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.759
there, that the US continuous support, he said that the President doesn't make

199
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.200
his foreign policy based on assurances,
but that the US will continue to give

200
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:02.879
its continued support to Ukraine. Well, they need our help. So ABC's

201
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:03.960
Karen Travis, thank you so much
for your time. She's on a tight

202
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.639
schedule. We'll get a let her
go. Thanks Karen, thank you.

203
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.120
Let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four

204
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.480
hour newsroom. The Riverside County DA's
office is getting more than two million dollars

205
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.360
from the Board of State and Community
Corrections to fight smash and grab robberies.

206
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:25.879
Prosecutors say this kind of crime is
a serious problem that impacts every single consumer

207
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.960
and retailer in Southern California. A
dune buggy accident outside Las Vegas has left

208
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:37.159
a teenage firefighter in training from Southern
California with severe burns over most of her

209
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.480
body. Seventeen year old America salmarn
is an explorer with the Pasadena Fire Department.

210
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.919
Those around her say what she needs
most now is support from the community.

211
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.879
She still hopes to serve one day. State police in Pennsylvania say nine

212
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.200
teenagers who escaped from a detention center
in Morgantown have been captured. The teens

213
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.799
got away during a riot last night. Four of the night were caught less

214
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.720
than three miles away. The detention
center is about fifteen miles away from where

215
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:10.640
an escaped inmate was caught last week, and that guy the murderer who got

216
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:12.400
away and then was on the loose
for a couple of weeks. The federal

217
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:18.799
government is trying to get back twenty
one billion dollars in mistake in Social Security

218
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.880
payments. ABC's Rhiannon Alley says much
of that money went to low income and

219
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:29.759
disabled beneficiaries. A former Postal Service
employee in Florida perceived about nine hundred dollars

220
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.240
a month since two thousand and one. The Social Security once more than one

221
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.640
hundred and twenty thousand dollars back because
of a mistake on their end. One

222
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:45.039
woman claims are actually a former police
officer. A former police officer shot on

223
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.839
duty in twenty eighteen says he and
his wife got a letter demanding they returned

224
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.519
thirty thousand dollars, and his appeal
was denied. The Social Security Administration says

225
00:17:53.680 --> 00:18:00.000
staffing and resource constraints have challenged its
service delivery, but its payment accuracy rates

226
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:06.799
remain high. Here's something kind of
cool that's going on at the beach I

227
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.480
wanted to share with you. You
know, a lot of garbage ends up

228
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:15.240
in the water, and Newport Beach
is doing something about it. So they

229
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:23.599
have introduced plans to put a trash
collecting water wheel into a stream, and

230
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.799
apparently it's supposed to sort of filter
the water. It looks kind of like

231
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:33.559
a like a paddle boat wheel if
I'm looking at the picture right, and

232
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:40.119
it's supposed to like scoop up the
trash that flows down from communities upstream along

233
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:44.160
the San Diego Creek and the Santa
Anna Delhi Channel before it gets into the

234
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:48.279
Bay and the Harbor and ultimately in
the ocean. It's the West coasts first

235
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:53.720
such trash collecting water wheel, and
it's apparently it's kind of a low tech,

236
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.519
high tech thing, so it doesn't
take a ton, but it does

237
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.240
cost a lot of money. The
project is five half million dollars. The

238
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:06.559
city council has agreed to foot three
point nine million dollars for construction of it.

239
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:08.519
The wheels system should be up and
running, but not for a little

240
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:15.960
bit longer until December of twenty twenty
four. And this is kind of I

241
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.480
didn't realize this much garbage gets into
the bay, but officials estimate Upper Newport

242
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:26.000
Bay gets between one hundred and five
hundred tons of debris washed into it every

243
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:33.079
year. It is National voter Registration
today. Are you registered to vote?

244
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.599
It only takes thirty seconds to register. You can either register or check to

245
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.960
make sure that your registration is up
to date, Like if you've moved or

246
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.119
changed your name or anything like that, you need to go update it.

247
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.599
But since it's National Voter Registration Day, maybe a good time to do it.

248
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:53.680
You can go and register or check
your registration at LA vote dot gov.

249
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.799
AT's la vote dot gov. Right
now, let's say good morning to

250
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:03.279
ABC's political analyst Steve Roberts. Steve
how Speaker Kevin McCarthy, of course,

251
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.599
has started an impeachment inquiry into President
Biden. What does this really mean?

252
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:15.200
Well, what it means is this
politics. This is not law or legality.

253
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.640
The Republicans know that they don't have
the votes to impeach Joe Biden.

254
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:22.960
They probably don't even have those votes
in the House where they one, the

255
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:27.799
Democratic controlled center. But that's not
the point. The point here is politics.

256
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:33.640
The point is to do two things
in one is to distract attention from

257
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:40.400
Donald Trump's political legal problems ninety one
criminal charges in four different cases. But

258
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:45.079
in a larger sense, it's designed
to sort of spread the idea well to

259
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.160
voters, well, they all do
it. All politicians are corrupt. Of

260
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:55.640
this false equivalency that Trump might be
corrupt, but Biden's corrupt too. And

261
00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:00.440
the goal here is not to convert
Biden supporters to Trumps supporters. That's not

262
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:04.240
going to happen. The goal here
is to discourage Biden supporters. And let's

263
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:08.680
be honest, Biden already has a
lot of problems even with Democrats. They're

264
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:15.400
not particularly enthusiastic are excited about it. And if you can discourage your opponent's

265
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.880
supporters, if you get them to
not talk to their neighbors, they don't

266
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:25.160
give money, and most importantly,
they might not vote, might rain that

267
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:27.279
day, or the kid's babysitter might
not show up, or they got to

268
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:33.799
do an extra turn at work,
and if you can get people to stay

269
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:38.759
home or to vote for a third
party, you accomplished something very important.

270
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:47.160
And that's exactly what happened in two
sixteen. Donald Trump's incessant campaign against Crooked

271
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:52.640
Hillary helped discourage a certain number of
Democrats people forgetting and in sixteen, six

272
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:57.279
percent of American voters voted for a
third party that included a lot of Sandwich

273
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:02.759
supporters, a lot of Democrats like
and that was the key difference in the

274
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:07.160
key states of Wisconsin and Michigan that
where Trump eat out his victory. And

275
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:11.720
four years later, instead of six
percent of Americans voting third party, fewer

276
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:18.759
than two percent voted. So there's
a very clear strategy here. Trump is

277
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:23.640
following the same playbook he did in
two sixteen. Instead of attacking Crooked Hillary,

278
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:32.799
he's attacking Crooked Joe, but doing
that through Kevin McCarthy. Absolutely.

279
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:37.319
I mean, Trump has been one
of the leading proponents of impeachment. But

280
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:42.000
this is all part of the same
study that they're all linked together. McCarthy

281
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:49.880
is doing this largely out of pressure
from conservatives who and there's another factor here.

282
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:55.599
I mean, it's important you know, elections have consequences. And it's

283
00:22:55.640 --> 00:23:00.279
true that the Republicans only control the
House by a handful of poses. They

284
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:06.000
can't pass any legislation that's going to
become law because it would be immediately be

285
00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:10.720
buried in the Democratic Senate. But
even if you control the House by one

286
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:14.720
or two votes, that means you
control every committee. That means you have

287
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:19.200
subpoena power, that means you can
search bank records. That means you can

288
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:26.279
hold hearings and ask questions and someone
witnesses, and so Republicans, by initiating

289
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:32.200
this inquiry enhance their power to go
after Biden's bank records. And again,

290
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:36.799
this has nothing to do with ever
impeaching Joe Biden has nothing to do.

291
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:40.839
Is really easy to bring in criminal
charges against Hunter Biden. What it has

292
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:48.160
to do is blemishing Joe Biden's reputation
and discouraging Democrats who are already discouraged by

293
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:56.599
Biden's age and lack of energy and
dynamism. And this is the strategy.

294
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.599
Throw as much money at the wall
as you possibly can and hope some of

295
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.640
it sticks. Okay, So Steve, I have a question for you though,

296
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:07.440
because you know the Democrats are saying
that there's there's nothing there. Like

297
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.519
you, you said that it's really
not about going after President Biden, it's

298
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.799
about discouraging voters. But the Republicans
say they have a lot of smoke and

299
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:21.559
that those bank records that they're subpoenaing
could prove that Biden received money from foreign

300
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:26.000
governments or something like that. That
you're saying that there's just no way that

301
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:29.920
they're going to do that, that
that stuff isn't there. I don't know

302
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.440
what's it. I don't know what's
in those bank records. I can tell

303
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:40.279
you that so far they haven't come
close to proving any kind of connection.

304
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.240
Look, we all know that Hunter
Biden's a sleas ball. We all know

305
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.440
that Hunter Biden engaged in all sorts
of shady business deals. We know that

306
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:55.839
he tried to sell the appearance of
influence with his father. We know that

307
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:59.799
no one's going to make Hunter Biden
the Chamber of Commerce Man of the Year

308
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:07.759
as honorable business person. That's all
true. But whether Biden Joe Biden himself

309
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:15.200
directly profited from his son's dealings has
yet. There's just no smoking gun there.

310
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.759
And I'm quoting Ken Buck. He's
one of the most conservative Republicans in

311
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:25.920
the House said that on TV over
the weekend. But you can say that

312
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:33.759
Joe Biden used questionable judgment and maybe
continues to use questionable judgment in terms of

313
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.119
how he dealt with his son.
After all, Joe Biden did say my

314
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:41.160
son has done nothing wrong, and
that's not true. His son was ready

315
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.319
to plead guilty to gun charges and
tax charges. He's been indicted on those

316
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:49.720
gun charges. He's likely to be
indicted on those tax charges because the original

317
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:56.079
key deal fell through last summer.
This is not about making Hunter Biden into

318
00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.079
some honorable figure. He's not.
And Joe Biden, you know, to

319
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:06.240
some extent, you could argue that
this is certainly understandable. Everybody understands that

320
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:11.359
Joe Biden's wife and small childs were
killed many years ago. Hunter Biden and

321
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.880
Joe and his brother Boe Biden was
the surviving small boys who had added the

322
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:22.200
injured in this wreck. Boe Biden
was Joe Biden's favorite son, and he

323
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.880
died of brain cancer at forty six. He was the golden boy. He

324
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:30.599
was the one who's supposed to succeed
Joe Biden politics. The surviving son Hunter

325
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:36.319
has battled with addiction and has been
a troublesome figure for years, and Biden

326
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:44.799
is clearly obsessed on this subject.
And we know from reporting that when anybody

327
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:48.920
tries to introduce the question of Hunter
Biden saying maybe we should distance the White

328
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:53.039
House from him, maybe you should
be more careful in your dealings with him,

329
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.200
Biden snaps at them and won't hear
it. This is a father and

330
00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:00.680
a son and whose battled addiction.
It's a deep personal and emotional question.

331
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:06.720
So there's no doubt that Joe Biden
is guilty of many things, but whether

332
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:12.759
he directly personally profited from Hunter's shady
business dealings as yet to be proven.

333
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.039
So I guess we're just going to
have to wait and see. And even

334
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:21.839
if they did, I'm playing the
hypothetical game. Even if they said,

335
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.680
yep, there's a clear line this
was compromised, he accepted payments, he

336
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.160
still wouldn't get convicted in the Senate, would he? I don't think he'd

337
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:36.079
be convicted in the Senate. But
again, here's what I'm saying. The

338
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:41.279
bottom line here is that this is
essentially a political process, not a legal

339
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:48.039
process, And would that kind of
information be very useful to Republicans a year

340
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:53.680
from now, would that be spread
over every campaign advertisement day? Put out

341
00:27:53.799 --> 00:28:00.240
yes, and the slogan will become
Joe Biden confused and corrupt. That's a

342
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:06.039
pretty damaging combination and it could be
very serious problems for Biden politically, not

343
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:12.079
legally. Yeah, okay, and
don't forget it's voter registration day, it

344
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.839
actually is. Steve Roberts, thank
you so much for your time and your

345
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.319
insight this morning. I appreciated a
ton any time. Sorry, Let's get

346
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.839
back to some of the stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

347
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:27.240
About six billion dollars in Iranian assets
unfrozen by South Korea now in cutter

348
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:32.000
The release is part of a plan
swap for five Americans held in Iran.

349
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:34.359
The deal also includes the release of
five Iranians in prison in the US.

350
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:40.400
A spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry said
the swap is happening today. The UN

351
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:44.960
has revised its death toll from the
flooding in Libya. Officials now say at

352
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.519
least thirty nine hundred and fifty eight
people have been killed. Last week,

353
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.079
they put them number at more than
eleven thousand. The revised report also says

354
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.839
more than nine thousand people are still
missing. The military says it's searching for

355
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:00.839
an F thirty five fighter jet that
went down near Charleston, South Carolina.

356
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:07.039
Officials say the pilot ejected safely yesterday
after a misshap a mishap involving the jet.

357
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.079
The pilot's in stable condition. The
plane's last known position was near Lake

358
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.799
Moultrie and Lake Marian. Actor Russell
Brand has denied allegations of sexual assault by

359
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:22.000
four women. He says every encounter
was consensual. The women spoke anonymously in

360
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.400
a documentary produced by several British media
outlets. Some were portrayed by actors.

361
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.119
I was pushing him away, pushing
him away as though I ended up having

362
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.440
to punch him really hard in his
stomach to get him off, and I

363
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.319
was crying and he said, oh, I only want to see him a

364
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:40.279
scar or run anyway. One woman
claims she was sixteen when she was assaulted.

365
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.160
Brand married pop star Katy Perry in
twenty ten. The marriage lasted just

366
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:48.200
over a year. In twenty thirteen, Perry told Vogue she knew the real

367
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.039
truth about her ex husband and that
she was keeping that locked in her safe

368
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.279
for a rainy day. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen

369
00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:02.559
Portnoy. Stephen, former President Trump
had a lot to say and didn't say

370
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:07.000
a lot on Meet the Press yesterday
wide ranging interview that ered yesterday, taped

371
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.519
earlier at Bedminster, the President's golf
Club, and the new moderator Meet the

372
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:14.119
Press, Kristen Welker asked the former
president about a number of things, but

373
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:18.079
what I found most interesting where with
prospective two separate cases that he faces,

374
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:22.119
the one in Florida, the Marlago
classified documents case, and the January sixth

375
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.039
case here in Washington. In the
mar Lago case, the former president said

376
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:33.200
he's prepared to testify against essentially someone
who's likely to be one of the prosecution

377
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.000
star witnesses, and that's going to
be the IT team man at mar Lago

378
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:41.319
who will testify. He's right,
well, the one who eventually decided to

379
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.319
testify against former President, that's right, who previously had indicated that this did

380
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:49.039
not happen, but later came out
and said that the former president directed his

381
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.440
maintenance man to corner the I team
man in a closet at marl Lago and

382
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:57.279
say the boss wants the video footage
of boxes being moved around mar Lago destroyed.

383
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:00.039
Now. Former President Trump says,
simply not true, and that he's

384
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.880
prepared to testify to that effect.
And he also makes the point that he

385
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.079
did after being subpoena turnover the video
evidence, which he says he could have

386
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:12.160
fought. There's I don't know if
that's a very strong argument, but look,

387
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:15.880
that's one case. The other case
is here in Washington, DC,

388
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.119
in the January sixth case, where
the former president was defiant when he talked

389
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.720
about testifying in Florida, and he
was willing to say that this particular element

390
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.400
that has been alleged it is not
true. In the January sixth case,

391
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:29.880
when Kristin Walker tried to ask the
former president what he did on that day

392
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.920
he was, he clammed up.
He said, I'm not going to tell

393
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:33.559
you. Why should I tell you. I don't want to talk about it.

394
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.279
I'll talk about it when it's appropriate. Yeah. I watched it and

395
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:40.799
he said that several times. He's
like, I'm not going to tell you

396
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:44.680
that. Yeah, And it makes
you wonder why why did he Why was

397
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.880
he so willing to answer other questions
but not that particular question, and it's

398
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:53.000
a very I found that very interesting. Yeah, and so Special Counsel Jack

399
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:59.680
Smith also wants to restrict Trump from
talking about some of the from the twenty

400
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:04.240
twenty election interference case. Right,
So that's the January sixth case here in

401
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:07.960
Washington, DC. The prosecutors in
the last couple of weeks have sought a

402
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:10.720
gag order that was sealed until Friday. So the news broke on Friday that

403
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:15.799
the former president is the subject of
a request from prosecutors for a narrow what

404
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:21.160
the prosecutors are calling a narrow gag
order on the former president's speech when it

405
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:23.799
comes to things he might say about
witnesses or parties to the case, including

406
00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:28.759
the court personnel, the judge,
even the citizens of Washington, DC.

407
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:34.400
And the filing cites many things that
the former president's been saying on social media

408
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:38.960
and his propensity to say things,
and the possibility that violence another unto where

409
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:43.799
things could happen as a result of
things the president says. So this is

410
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:49.240
just a request. The fact that
it's being made formally is important because if

411
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:52.599
the request is made and ultimately the
order comes, it'll be very interesting to

412
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:55.480
see how former president Trump is willing
to comply, and if he's not,

413
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:58.599
then what happens. Well, that's
what I was just going to ask you.

414
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.160
If if a judge did say,
okay, yeah, you can talk

415
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:06.519
about this and he does anyway,
as Trump is want to do, what

416
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.759
happens. Well, I don't know, but in the normal course of business,

417
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:14.640
if you violate the order of a
you know, sitting federal district court

418
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:16.480
judge, you could expect to have
to answer for it. Yeah, and

419
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:21.440
you know, the potential for you
know, contempt of court is is a

420
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:23.799
real one. And uh, you
know, sometimes it can be dealt with

421
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:27.000
with a with a fine, but
in other cases, you know, judges

422
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.759
are empowered to throw people in the
lockup for violating their orders. Yeah,

423
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:34.440
okay, I'm going totally off topic
because you're you're a correspondent. How did

424
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.920
you think Kristin did yesterday? Oh, Christin and I have been friends for

425
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.559
years. I think she's a wonderful
person, and I think she did a

426
00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:43.920
fine job yesterday, and I really
liked at the end of the program how

427
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:46.720
she paid tribute to Martha Rowntree,
the first moderator of Meet the Press,

428
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:52.160
who originated the show on radio in
nineteen forty five and moved it to television

429
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.440
in forty seven, and Meet the
Press as a proud tradition of being the

430
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:59.519
oldest and longest running program and broadcasting. And I'm very excited to see it

431
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:02.400
in Kristin because if it's Sunday,
it's Meet the Press, right of course,

432
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:05.680
you know, I work across the
street, so we have a fine

433
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:07.320
show too. By the way,
I watch your show too. It's part

434
00:34:07.320 --> 00:34:10.840
of my Seriously, it's part of
my Sunday morning routine is I tape them

435
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:14.880
all and then I go back and
watch them all have my coffee on Sunday

436
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:16.760
mornings. That's great. Thank you
so much, Steve, appreciate your time

437
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:21.440
today. Let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI

438
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:25.360
newsroom. Ellen Kennty, Sheriff Luna
says his investigators are looking for a two

439
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:30.480
thousand and six to two twelve dark
gray Toyota Corolla that may be connected with

440
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:36.360
the deadly ambush of a deputy Saturday
evening in Palmdale. Check your cameras,

441
00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:40.440
check your cameras. That could be
the missing link to the information that we

442
00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:45.159
need. Deputy Ryan Clintin Bremer was
shot in the back of the head as

443
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:49.119
he sat in his patrol SUV during
a red light at the intersection of Sierra

444
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:52.440
Highway and Avenue Q. Clintin Bremer
was an eight year veteran of the department.

445
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:57.559
A two hundred fifty thousand dollar reward
has been offered to catch those involved,

446
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.119
and we are we're hearing channel for
is saying that we may have or

447
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:07.400
they may have a suspect in custody. We are waiting to confirm that,

448
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:12.719
but hopefully that's the case. But
we'll keep you posted on that. Dozens

449
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.239
of bills are waiting for a yes
or a no from Governor Newsome. The

450
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:20.079
bills have been passed by the legislature
and are waiting for the governor's signature.

451
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:24.800
CSU East Bay Professor doctor Michael Schweltz
says one of the bills would require companies

452
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:28.960
in California they make more than a
billion dollars a year to disclose what they're

453
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.920
pumping into the air. This does
get at the tech industry, but it

454
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:37.480
also gets at the healthcare industry as
well, So we really want to target

455
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:43.320
those big emitters. When thinking about
greenhouse gas emissions. Governor Newsom says he's

456
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:49.159
going to sign that one. Jessica
Machel Fresh of the International Cannabis Bar Association

457
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:53.559
says another bill would allow cannabis cafes
in California. Change is that now they're

458
00:35:53.599 --> 00:36:00.159
also going to be able to sell
and offer non infused averages and food.

459
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:05.599
They're potentially going to be able to
have a band or other entertainment in the

460
00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:09.599
space. Several gun and gun violence
bills are also waiting for the governor's signature,

461
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:15.559
along with a bill that would give
unemployment benefits to striking workers, one

462
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:20.000
that would require school buses to have
zero emissions by thirty five, and another

463
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:24.119
that would allow automated cameras to bust
people for speeding. The governor has until

464
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:30.599
October fourteenth to sign or reject each
bill. Speaking of cannabis cafes and the
