Planning work has begun in LA to get volunteers and to address traffic 21 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.680 for the twenty twenty eight Olympics. LA needs tens of thousands of volunteers to 22 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.560 help with all kinds of things when the games arrive four years from now. 23 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.560 City Councilman Tracy Park, who cheers the city's Olympics committee, says LA needs 24 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:56.120 to be ready a moment when Los Angeles will be hosting the entire world. 25 00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.560 We want to showcase the very best of what our city has to offer, 26 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.400 and that begins with preparation.

Michael Monks KFI News Nearly two 29 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.520 dozen people have had to be rescued from the Increditcoaster at Disney's California Adventure in 30 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.759 Anaheim. The ride broke down yesterday, leaving passengers stuck on the track. 31 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.280 They were given umbrellas to help deal with the heat as they waited to be 32 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:35.319 freed. Disneyland employees wore safety harnesses as they helped people get off the ride. 33 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.120 More triple digit temperatures are expected this week, with some areas in the 34 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.840 high Desert getting as hot as one hundred and ten degrees by next weekend. 35 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.919 The National Weather Service says that San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys will see highs 36 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.479 in the nineties all week. The Santa Clarita Valley and Valencia will hit one 37 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.240 hundred and two degrees Wednesday and Thursday, and excessive heat warning will be in 38 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.120 effect in parts of La County from eleven am Tomorrow to at least five am 39 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:07.520 next Monday. California has been ranked the most eco friendly state in the US 40 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:13.360 a study by the nonprofit organization Smile Hub show's California is the number one place 41 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.280 for environmental protection. In twenty twenty four, business manager Louke Powers says they 42 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:23.639 used several key metrics things such as energy efficiency scores, industrial toxins per square 43 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:30.199 mile, climate change vulnerability, share of state land designated for parts of wildlife, 44 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:36.520 number of conservation programs, green buildings per capita. The states ranked to 45 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:43.199 the worst are West Virginia, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Family members say racing 46 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:49.120 legend John Force is showing signs of improvement after a fiery crash at the National 47 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.759 Hot Rot Association Virginia Nationals. His car hit the retaining wall and caught fire 48 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.520 last week. Seventy five year old Force has been in the hospital since the 49 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.599 crash. Family members he's being treated for traumatic brain injury and that he's been 50 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.800 able to respond with slight movements when asked to open his eyes, squeeze the 51 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:13.479 hand of care providers, and move his extremities. A judge in New Mexico 52 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.399 has rejected Alec Baldwin's latest attempt to have the involuntary manslaughter charges against him tossed 53 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:24.800 out. Baldwin's lawyers had asked the judge to dismiss the case because they say 54 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:30.920 the gun that killed cinematographer Helena Hutchins in twenty twenty one was damaged during forensic 55 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.759 testing at an FBI lab. Prosecutors argued the damage does not deprive Baldwin of 56 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:41.480 a fair trial. The judge Friday found Baldwin and his team offered no evidence 57 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:47.519 beyond speculation and conjecture that the unaltered gun could have exonerated the actor. COVID 58 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.759 cases are on the rise across the United States, just as people are starting 59 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:58.000 to get ready for the fourth of July. Maybc's Jim Ryan joins us Hi 60 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.920 Jim, Hello, good morning. Joins us live from Dallas with details on 61 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.959 how this will affect your travel plans. Good morning, Jim, Good morning 62 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.639 Heather. Yeah, you'd better be ready for it, because in forty four 63 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:11.480 states around the country, according to the CDC, there's been an uptick in 64 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:16.759 COVID cases and it's a sort of unusual variant. It's called flirt fl irt 65 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.720 capital FL lowercase I capital RT. It's based on the technical names of the 66 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.160 two mutations, the FL and the RT mutation. Somebody stuck an eye in 67 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.879 the middle and there you have flirt. Well, that's the strain. These 68 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.240 are sub variants of omoicron. And the good thing about that, Heather, 69 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:38.759 is that because there are subvariants of that strain we already knew about. The 70 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.839 current vaccines are effective against it, so too is pax slovit. If you 71 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:47.079 happen to get COVID, you should be protected. You should the pack sloat 72 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.800 is going to help it to get through your system faster, all right. 73 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:58.279 So I read here that the government is not going to be tracking COVID stats 74 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.800 as intensely as they have been in the past. So how is that going 75 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.399 to affect everything? Well, it's harder to get a firm clear picture of 76 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.800 what's happening out there in the landscape. But yeah, since twenty twenty one 77 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:15.439 twenty two, the hospitals have not been required to report their COVID cases. 78 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.720 The hospitalizations, even deaths are not being reported in the same way that they 79 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:25.040 were before. But CDC came up with a pretty ingenious way of figuring out 80 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:29.439 what's happening out there. They have scientists out there testing the waste water of 81 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:35.000 various communities, including Los Angeles, and looking for traces of the virus, 82 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.319 and they're finding it, and that's how they get a decent picture of what's 83 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:46.279 happening in any given community. So even without the hospital reporting or the individual 84 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.319 tracking of COVID cases. We have a pretty good idea of what's happening out 85 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:56.519 there, all right, So are they still saying that masking is effective as 86 00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.560 it was against these previous viruses, Well, they're not saying it isn't, 87 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.639 you know. So, and I still see a lot of people in stores 88 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.079 and out there in public who are wearing masks and apparently feeling that it does 89 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:13.639 help to protect them. And in a place like you know, California, 90 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:18.360 Nevada, Washington state places and Texas where the epidemic status shows that the case 91 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.759 number is growing, it's probably a good idea if you're not feeling well to 92 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.279 go ahead and put on a mask. At least you're protecting the people around 93 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.720 you. And so, yeah, I think that that's still the assumption that, 94 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.079 yeah, the was it as effective as people thought it might be. 95 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.920 Maybe maybe not? Does it work at all? Probably? Now, you 96 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.920 know, this is something I really wanted to talk about today because I just 97 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:43.920 found out that my daughter went to when she was at summer camp, two 98 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.680 of her counselors got COVID. So it's definitely still something that's happening. It's 99 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:56.120 definitely still present in our communities. Let's talk about you mentioned paxlovid. Should 100 00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:00.360 people be visiting their doctors to get a check on their vaccine STATF is like, 101 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.399 what can we do other than masking to prepare ourselves here, Well, 102 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.800 yeah, yeah, get vaccinated, especially if you're over sixty five, And 103 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.240 in fact, if you're over sixty five, you have access to a combination 104 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.240 COVID slash flu vaccine. It's effective against both of those things, and people 105 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.560 sixty five and upper are recommended to get that particular vaccine. So yeah, 106 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.439 that's still the best way to protect yourself. If you don't have a COVID 107 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.680 card and your wallet like a lot of people did to show that they've been 108 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.799 vaccinated, Yeah, you can check with your doctor who did the vaccinations, 109 00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.279 or the pharmacy where you went in and got the shots to see exactly what 110 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.399 your shot record looks like. Now, let's talk about some of the effects 111 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.799 of this particular COVID variant. What else do we know about its impact on 112 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.159 people who are catching this one. It looks very much like you did previous 113 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.720 versions from what I'm reading here that the people you feel like you have a 114 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.399 cold, you get some body aches and cough, sniffles, the same sort 115 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:00.320 of thing that you would feel with the COVID before, which, by the 116 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.000 way, also looks a lot like the flu, right sore. Getting this 117 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.600 dual vaccination against those two is going to help to ensure that one or the 118 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.159 other, whether you have flu or COVID, you should be protected. So 119 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.840 yeah, and don't hesitate to get to your doctor if you're feeling like you 120 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.720 might be coming down with this coming down with COVID. The only place in 121 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.720 the whole country, and there are forty four states according to the CDC, 122 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:28.399 that are seeing increases likely increases in COVID cases based on the wastewater treatment they're 123 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:35.559 testing. Only Hawaii is showing a likely decline in COVID cases. Most of 124 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.200 the rest of the places, California, Florida, up the East coast, 125 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.000 they're all showing increases. Oh no, don't say that. You know, 126 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:48.679 everyone's going to be packing their bags and heading to Hawaii now like they wouldn't 127 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.559 anyway. Right, that's true, that's true. It is one of my 128 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.919 favorite spots to travel. Well, thank you so much, Jim, I 129 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.279 appreciate your time. Seeah, all right, let's get back to some of 130 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.720 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man with 131 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.440 a bow and arrow has been shot by venture A County Sheriff's deputies in Thousand 132 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.360 Oaks. The Sheriff's office says two deputies may contact with the suspicious pedestrian yesterday. 133 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.080 They say the man was also holding a knife and approach deputies in a 134 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.840 threatening way. They say the man. They say the shooting happened when the 135 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.919 man ignored commands to drop the weapon and continue to act in an aggressive way. 136 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.240 The man was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Former Trump advisor 137 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.440 Steve Bannon is scheduled to report to federal prison in Connecticut to begin serving a 138 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.360 four month sentence. Bannon was convicted of a felony in twenty twenty two for 139 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.600 failing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the January sixth attack on the Capitol. 140 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.480 Last week, the Supreme Court denied Bannon's request to remain free while he 141 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:50.639 appeals that conviction. ABC's Mike Tbuski says Bannon considers himself a quote political prisoner 142 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.320 and says his sentence will only make his influence grow. Bannon also says he 143 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.840 expects a landslide win for Republicans in November. A record breaking number of people 144 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.559 are expected to travel for the Fourth of July this year. Triple A predicts 145 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.759 nearly seventy one million people will travel about fifty miles or more during the holiday 146 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:15.480 travel period, which runs June twenty ninth through July seventh. Triple A says 147 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:20.720 more Americans are taking extended Fourth of July trips this summer thanks to the flexibility 148 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.840 of remote work. Over sixty million people are expected to travel by car, 149 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.519 nearly three million more than last year, and airports could see a record breaking 150 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:35.440 number of travelers as well, with around five point seventy five million people predicted 151 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.120 to fly. Triple A says this is the first year the travel period was 152 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:45.840 extended to include two weekends. The cost of insurance is going up in California. 153 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:52.120 Brian Clark says that's unwelcome news for many California insurance customers. California is 154 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.320 dealing with an insurance crisis in State Department of Insurance spokesperson Michael Seller says there 155 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.559 are not enough options, particularly if you're in a that has any kind of 156 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:05.759 wildfire risk, and some options are getting more expensive. State far and insures 157 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.960 one in five homes in California had recently raised rates by nearly twenty percent, 158 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.559 and now wants to increase rates by another thirty percent. State regulators say the 159 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:20.960 request is raising concerns about State farm's financial health. Brian Clark ABC News a 160 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.559 man has been stabbed at another may have broken a bone during a fight involving 161 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.799 about twenty men near the Santa Monica Pier. Five men were arrested for the 162 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.360 fight Saturday afternoon. People in the city say they're concerned with all the violence 163 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.639 lately in Santa Monica. This woman, who lives near Venice the Venice border, 164 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.919 tells Ktlaight she sees attacks all the time. You can have as much 165 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.759 enforcement as possible, but you know, the cops can't do anything until something 166 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.360 happens, right, But what we'd like I'd like to see happen is to 167 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.879 have something preemptively happen, which has help people who are sick. The mayor 168 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.759 has asked for emergency funds, more police and state assistance. He says the 169 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.200 city council rejected his proposal last week to take millions from the city's budget to 170 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.759 use for emergency security this summer. A San Fernando Valley, man suspected of 171 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:15.919 using hidden internet marketplaces to sell hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fentanyl laced 172 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:20.320 pills and cocaine to buyers nationwide, is expected to plead guilty today. A 173 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.720 sixty one year old man and his three dogs had to be airlifted from a 174 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.960 remote location near Mount Luken's and the San Gabriel Mountains. He apparently became dehydrated 175 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:35.159 and lost his cell phone connection while hiking. Temperatures will continue to rise across 176 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:41.200 southern California this week, reaching as high as one hundred and ten degrees in 177 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.279 the High Desert by next weekend, then at six oh five its handle. 178 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.879 On the news, Governor Newsom has signed the twenty twenty four state budget, 179 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.519 a cut about sixteen billion dollars in spending. We'll talk about why Newsom thinks 180 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:58.440 this is more fiscally responsible right now. President Biden met with his team of 181 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:03.519 advisor and his family over the weekend to discuss the fallout after his disappointing showing 182 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.320 at the presidential debate last week. ABC's Molly Nagel joins us live from the 183 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.759 White House with details. Good morning, Hey, good morning, Heather. 184 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.879 Yes, the President was spent part of his weekend at Camp David with his 185 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.000 family. This was part of a pre scheduled gathering there. The White House 186 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.720 has been trying to really push back on the suggestion that this was an emergency 187 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.879 session or something to you know, really assess the fallout of that debate performance. 188 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.720 They say that this was something that was pre planned. The family's taking 189 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.879 a photo together. So they've really tried to push back and tamp down any 190 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.039 suggestion that this was an emergency huddle after that shaky debate performance. But you 191 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:46.200 know, it remains the fact that that is the story that continues over the 192 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.399 weekend, people continuing to talk about what happened on Thursday night. You know, 193 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.080 the Biden campaign and the President say that they are staying in this race. 194 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.559 His family is also defending him. We saw Joe Biden on the cover 195 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.240 of Vogue this month. She says that they will not let those now twenty 196 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.120 minutes to find four years that he of the time that he has been president, 197 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.399 and that they will continue to fight. But they have a big challenge 198 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.679 ahead of them. They need to now convince voters that, you know, 199 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.759 any concerns that they had about his age before the debate that may have been 200 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.639 reinforced when they saw him on that debate stage, we're just a bad night, 201 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.240 and that he is up to the job and he can effectively execute the 202 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.799 office of the presidency. So what do you think was the biggest question that 203 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.440 they had on their minds this weekend when they were meeting. Do you think 204 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:33.360 they really were saying should we continue? Or do you think the conversation was 205 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:39.159 more about how should we continue? Well, even the day after the debate, 206 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.440 we saw the president back out in public. We saw him in North 207 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.559 Carolina holding a rally in front of a crowd of supporters, and he made 208 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.799 it clear then that he was going to stand this race. He said he 209 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:52.480 may not debate like he used to, may not walk this moves as he 210 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.440 used to do, or talkis moves as he used to, but he's always 211 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.000 going to stay. When he gets knocked down, you get back up and 212 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:03.360 fight. And we're seeing thesempaign actually run an ad based off of that exact 213 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.120 sentiment already, so kind of tells you how quickly they're trying to get ahead 214 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.360 of this and try and change the trajectory. So I don't think that the 215 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:17.960 conversation this weekend necessarily was about what should we do? I think it was 216 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.320 probably more forward looking into how do we move forward. They have made it 217 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.639 clear that they intend to stay in this race. They point to twenty twenty 218 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:30.320 when he was a candidate and really kind of counted out after some really slow 219 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.919 starts at the beginning of the primary process. This is obviously a very different 220 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.440 situation. But their argument is that we've seen Joe Biden get knocked down and 221 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:42.720 be counted out and kind of forgotten about before, and he has come back 222 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.879 and won the presidency and he can do it again. But the question remains 223 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.240 is can they undo any damage that might have come from this debate performance. 224 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:56.679 You know, it's funny I saw trending on x people were saying that Joe 225 00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.039 Biden's team should use that speech that he made the next day as part of 226 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.359 their ad campaign moving forward, and then it looks like maybe they saw that 227 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:08.400 and did you know, right after the debate there was a lot of analysts 228 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:12.559 who are saying that Democrats had come forward, Democratic leaders had come forward in 229 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:18.160 the party and saying he should step aside. Have any of those people changed 230 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.000 their tunes? Are we hearing anybody now who was a detractor then saying now, 231 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.799 okay, let's see where this goes. So I think, you know, 232 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.119 in the immediate aftermath, you heard a lot of people talking on background, 233 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.480 talking, you know, maybe privately, expressing concerns about this. But 234 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.640 so far, when it comes to elected officials in the Democratic Party, they 235 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.880 are staying in lockstep with the president. We saw a lot of his supporters 236 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.960 out on the Sunday shows this weekend defending him, saying that they are supportive 237 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.920 of him and what he chooses to do is so if he's staying in the 238 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.640 race. There behind him, we Foundancy Pelosi, James Clyburn, Chris Coons, 239 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.839 all of these folks coming out there to really signal their support for the 240 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.880 president and continued support for him. The closest we saw to some acknowledging that, 241 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:04.480 you know, there are discussions ongoing with Congressman Jamie Raskin who said, 242 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:10.160 quote, there are very honest and serious and rigorous conversations taking place at every 243 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.440 level of our party. So it's clearly not the same thing as saying, 244 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:17.079 yes, we think the president should step down and is not up to the 245 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:21.680 task here. But it does show that you know, there are conversations that 246 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:26.079 are ongoing, but so far Democrats are staying in lockstep and they are trying 247 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.640 to keep the support strong for the presumptive nominee. And what kinds of things 248 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:33.400 do you think we're going to see him doing over the next several weeks and 249 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.519 months to win back any voters who maybe you know, we're on the fence, 250 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.920 or maybe change their mind a little bit after that performance. Yeah, 251 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.200 well, I think the Buyden campaign has to take a stock of their strategy 252 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.039 and how to maybe change it or strengthen it going forward when it comes to 253 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.640 trying to accomplish just that. So one thing that this White House has been 254 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:59.160 criticized for that we haven't seen them do as other administrations have is they haven't 255 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:03.839 done as many interviews. They haven't done as many press conferences as us Biden's 256 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.240 predecessors have done at this point in their presidency. So we could see them 257 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.920 trying to get him out more in interview settings or in front of the media 258 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.079 to try and reinforce that he can take questions, that he is up to 259 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.759 the task and can and can you know, work off the coffin off the 260 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.160 fly. The other thing that you need for a successful campaign is you need 261 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.599 money and you need voter support, and one way to see that is through 262 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.680 pulling. So you have to imagine here that the campaign and the president are 263 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.119 keeping a close eye on how those two things are trending. Now in the 264 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.599 immediate aftermath of the debate, our big donors pulling back, our polls showing 265 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.119 that there's deficit, that it makes it hard for him to make up back 266 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.640 ground. You know, time will tell with this, but the buying campaign 267 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.759 right now is really working an overdrive to try and stop stem the bleeding from 268 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:53.599 the debate stage and move forward in a way that helps to put the president 269 00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.839 on stronger footing. Well, it certainly will be interesting to watch over the 270 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.839 coming weeks and months. So thank you so much. Mo Nagel live from 271 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.799 the White House. Thank you. All right, let's get back to some 272 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.599 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Two women 273 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:14.160 in their fifties are suing the LA school district over alleged sexual abuse that they 274 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:19.200 suffered in the nineteen eighties. The teacher say they did, pardon me, 275 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:26.559 The teachers they say did. In twenty twelve, Don Moore was profiled on 276 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.519 America's Most Wanted while he was a fugitive. He was sentenced in nineteen ninety 277 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:36.039 one to fourteen years in prison for abusing several girls. The News. Lawsuit 278 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:40.359 claims the women were threatened with punishment if they spoke up about the alleged abuses, 279 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:45.039 and that they didn't fully realize until twenty twenty three the psychological damage they 280 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:51.519 suffered. Police in Riverside say an active shooter called an active shooter call at 281 00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:55.440 the Mission inn was a false alarm. They say a TikTok video and a 282 00:20:55.480 --> 00:21:00.839 mistaken reservation call led to the report. Yesterday. They say there was no 283 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:06.920 threat at the historic hotel. NASA and Boeing have again extended the first star 284 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.279 Liner crew mission, but have not set a new target date for returning the 285 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:15.920 two astronauts to Earth. NASA's commercial crew manager, Steven Stitch says they're not 286 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:21.359 stranded on the International Space Station. Our plan is to continue to return them 287 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:26.119 on Starliner and return them home when at the right time. NASA and Boeing 288 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.240 say the delay for testing is to gather more data about the spacecraft's performance, 289 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:34.279 in particular its thruster systems. The Starliner launch June fifth, and it was 290 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:40.359 supposed to be in space for nine days. Twenty passengers are safe today after 291 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:44.759 being rescued from a roller coaster at the Disneyland California Adventure Park in Anaheim. 292 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:48.920 It happened on the Incredit coaster and passengers were given umbrellas to protect themselves from 293 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.680 the sun. More than one hundred horses are in danger of being displaced, 294 00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:57.279 including some that are too old to be moved, and we need to be 295 00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:00.759 euthanized. After the city of Lake wid announced it could no longer afford to 296 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:06.279 run their questrian center. The city says it plans to remove the equestrian center 297 00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:11.960 and replace it with pickleball courts. An alleged robber has been killed in a 298 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:17.519 crash while being chased by the man robbed at a gas station in LA's West 299 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:22.319 Adams neighborhood and at six ZHO five its handle on the news. President Biden's 300 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:27.400 family is encouraging him to stay in the race despite a disappointing debate last Thursday. 301 00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:30.839 We'll talk about what the president plans to do next. And at five 302 00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:34.559 point fifty, the Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether former President Trump 303 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:40.440 has broad presidential immunity that would shield him from criminal prosecution. Will tell you 304 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:44.880 how this could have far reaching impact. And the first round of the Wimbledon 305 00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.559 Championship is happening in London. ABC's Tom Rivers joins US Live from London to 306 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:53.720 talk about how several injuries are causing problems for tennis's biggest stars. Good morning 307 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:59.359 Tom, Good morning Heather. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Everybody wants to 308 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:03.000 have a good send off for Andy Murray, two time winner out here. 309 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.920 He certainly is cre out favorite, the first British winner since on the men's 310 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:14.279 side since Fred Perry. But he says basically he wants to play this tournament, 311 00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:18.079 even though he had assist removed from his spine about ten days ago. 312 00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.480 He says it's feeling better, some problems with nerves in his right leg, 313 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.599 but he says he wants to be in the singles tomorrow. We'll have to 314 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.880 wait and see. S I think of briefing tonight on that. If not, 315 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.640 he could possibly play doubles with his brother Jamie starting on Thursday. Also, 316 00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:40.559 we have a Novak Djokovic, of course, he had a injury to 317 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:45.960 his right knee at the French Open and of course, rehabilitation, and he 318 00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:49.279 says it feels painless. He's been practicing, so he's expected to start tomorrow 319 00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:55.640 as well. So I understand this is your thirty seventy year covering Wimbledon. 320 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.079 Wimbledon. I keep saying with a t, I don't mean to do that 321 00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.759 Wimbledon. Yeah, I don't know why that comes out. I do that, 322 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:04.039 I say Wimbledon, Wimbledon. What are some of the changes you've noticed 323 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:08.119 over the years. Well, I guess the big ones would be, you 324 00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.440 know, we were always looking at the sky and we still do that. 325 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:15.640 It's overcast, but it looks like we're gonna get a pretty good day in 326 00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:18.599 today. But in the old days, we didn't have the roof on first 327 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.160 of all, Center court and then number one court, but we certainly do 328 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.880 these days. So we get to cover some tennis each and every day. 329 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.039 There were some days where just total total rainouts sent Over the years, too, 330 00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:34.720 we've seen more signed of the times, more barriers put up just to 331 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:38.599 be able to drive just about up to every gate. Can't do that anymore, 332 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:41.839 So, yeah, life is changed in that regard out here as well. 333 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:47.839 I just read a few moments ago that there were some pro Palestinian protesters 334 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:52.480 outside Wimbledon. Have you heard anything about that? There? There could be 335 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.839 I'm right by fourteen here, right next to center court, and no, 336 00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:02.559 I have no knowledge of that, but to think coming on in I certainly 337 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:08.279 saw some protesters with placards as I walked down to a gate eighteen, but 338 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:12.480 they weren't doing anything at that time. So maybe that that was the group 339 00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:17.680 getting together just about three four hours ago. So there is a lot. 340 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.359 I guess we're kind of waiting to see with these injuries and whether or not, 341 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:25.319 you know, the biggest players, the biggest stars that we're everyone's kind 342 00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:27.880 of looking forward to playing. When will they actually have to decide whether or 343 00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:32.160 not they're going to take the court. Well, it looks like yeah, 344 00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:36.319 like Novo says he's been feeling good, he's going to be going to be 345 00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:41.079 starting his campaign tomorrow. We're expecting a briefing tron this evening here in London 346 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.359 on Andy's status. So we'll get to wait, you know, maybe a 347 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.640 few more hours. Fingers crossed. He can do the single, so he 348 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.839 can't at least maybe he can do the doubles. And he liked to say 349 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:59.240 goodbye this time and he also wants to play the Olympics in Paris towards the 350 00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.759 end of this month now and then hang up his racket. He says, 351 00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:06.160 he really doesn't want to carry on and do the US Open. Thirty seven 352 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:11.400 years of age and literally a laundry list of injuries and surgeries over the years. 353 00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:15.160 You know, one thing. The other thing is interesting to me is 354 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.920 the amount of celebrities that has taken an interest in Wimbledon and tennis, and 355 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:25.400 specifically over the years. Have you seen any big stars or heard of any 356 00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:30.440 big stars that are going to be there in the green stands watching? Gosh? 357 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.640 You know every year they pop up you kind of go, oh, 358 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.640 I didn't know they were into tennis this year? I think the interesting thing. 359 00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:44.720 The patron for Wimbledon is Princess Kate Middleton, and of course she showed 360 00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:51.039 up on the balcony for the trooping of the color, so you know what, 361 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:53.559 if she could do that, maybe, just maybe she'll show up maybe 362 00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:59.359 for the finals this year in the Royal box. There's something certainly everybody here 363 00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:03.319 is going to be looking. Yeah, that would certainly be a nice surprise. 364 00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.559 Well, thank you so much. We'll be watching to see if they 365 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.079 decide to play, and who wins. In all the excitement from Wimbledon, 366 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.279 Thank you so much, Tom, you got her all right, Let's get 367 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.720 back to some of those stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 368 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:26.720 Boeing has announced plans to buy Spirit Aerosystems for four point seven billion dollars 369 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.880 in an all stock deal. Spirit manufactures key parts for Boeing planes. Boeing 370 00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:37.079 previously owned Spirit, and the aerospace company says bringing the supplier back into the 371 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:44.119 Boeing fold would improve playing quality and safety. Former director of the National Institute 372 00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:48.440 of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, doctor Anthony Fauci, appeared on ABC this week 373 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.759 to talk about his nearly four decades as director of the National Institute. Doctor 374 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:59.440 Fauci says he resisted pressure to resign during the COVID pandemic because he felt he 375 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:04.039 needed to fight disinformation about the virus. I was afraid that despite the pressures 376 00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:08.119 in all the somewhat unusual things that were going on, if I did walk 377 00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:12.039 away from it, there would be very little opportunity to get the correct, 378 00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:18.759 potentially life saving information to the American public. Doctor Fauci has a new book 379 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:23.079 out called On Call a Doctor's Journey in Public Service. A judge in New 380 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:29.920 Mexico has rejected Alec Baldwin's latest attempt to have the involuntary manslaughter charges against him 381 00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:34.079 tossed out. Baldwin's lawyers had asked the judge to dismiss the case because they 382 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:40.240 say the gun that killed cinematographer Helena Hutchins in twenty twenty one was damaged during 383 00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:45.160 forensic testing at an FBI lab. Prosecutors argued the damage does not deprive Baldwin 384 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:49.559 of a fair trial. The judge Friday found Baldwin and his team offered no 385 00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:56.119 evidence beyond speculation and conjecture that the unaltered gun could have exonerated the actor. 386 00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:03.279 Hurricane Burrell is headed towards the Southeastern Caribbean. The category three storm is expected 387 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.079 to make landfall in the Windward islands this morning. Hurricane warnings are in effect 388 00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:14.160 for Barbados, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Tobago and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. 389 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:19.440 The National Hurricane Center in Miami says Burrell is forecast to have life threatening 390 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:25.079 winds and storm surge. Government officials have pleaded with people to take shelter. 391 00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.640 A Palestinian health officials says Israel has released fifty five Palestinians detained in Gaza, 392 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:37.759 including the director of the territory's main hospital. One of the leaders was detained 393 00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:42.599 in November when Israeli forces raided Shifa Hospital. He is accused of is He's 394 00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:51.240 accused Israeli authorities of mistreating Palestinian detainees. Israel accuses militants of sheltering in hospitals 395 00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:56.759 and using them for military purposes. Hospitals can lose their protection under international law 396 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.720 if that's the case. Planning work has begun in LA to give volunteers and 397 00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:06.880 to handle traffic for the twenty twenty eight Olympics. LA needs tens of thousands 398 00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:10.160 of volunteers to help with all kinds of things when the games arrive four years 399 00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:12.720 from now. City Councilman Tracy Park, who cheers the city's Olympics committee, 400 00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:18.160 says LA needs to be ready a moment when Los Angeles will be hosting the 401 00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:22.960 entire world. We want to showcase the very best of what our city has 402 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.359 to offer, and that begins with preparation. The City Council on Friday instructed 403 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:32.240 various departments to develop and present plans on recruiting volunteers and how they'll manage all 404 00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:37.119 the traffic on the roads and public transit in downtown La. Michael Monks KFI 405 00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.519 news Governor Newsom has signed California's twenty twenty four budget. It includes about sixteen 406 00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:47.039 billion dollars in spending cuts to help close the state's forty seven billion dollar deficit. 407 00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:51.519 Newsom signed it Saturday. He says it's a responsible budget that prepares for 408 00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:56.240 the future while investing in foundational programs that benefit millions of Californians every day. 409 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:02.279 Part of the budget includes taking billions from this reserve Rainy Day Fund over the 410 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:07.680 next two fiscal years. A study shows California ranked second in the US for 411 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:12.200 having the least road rage. California was second only behind Rhode Island for courteous 412 00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:18.039 driving, with point eight gun related road rage incidents per one hundred thousand people. 413 00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:23.240 A judge in New Mexico has rejected al Baldwin's latest attempt to have the 414 00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:30.279 involuntary manslaughter charges against him tossed out, and family members say racing legend John 415 00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:34.279 Force is showing signs of improvement since a fiery crash at the National hot Rod 416 00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:40.720 Association Virginia Nationals. We're just minutes away from handle. On the news this 417 00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:45.319 morning, humanitarian workers have started moving tons of aid that has been piling up 418 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.200 off the coast of Gaza. We'll talk about why this is an important step 419 00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:55.039 in the war between Israel and Hamas. Right now, let's get back to 420 00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.480 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A 421 00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:01.359 man with a bow and arrow has been shot by Venturre County Sheriff's deputies in 422 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:07.680 Thousand Oaks. The Sheriff's office says two deputies make contact with a suspicious pedestrian 423 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.599 yesterday. They say the man was also holding a knife and approach deputies in 424 00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:15.880 a threatening way. They say the shooting happened when the man ignored commands to 425 00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:19.799 drop the weapon and continue to act in an aggressive way. The man was 426 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:24.079 taken to the hospital in critical condition. Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon is scheduled 427 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:29.440 to report to federal prison in Connecticut to begin serving a four month sentence. 428 00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:32.759 Bannon was convicted of a felony in twenty twenty two for failing to cooperate with 429 00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:37.200 a congressional investigation into the January sixth attack on the Capitol. Last week, 430 00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:42.680 the Supreme Court denied Bannon's request to remain free while he appeals that conviction. 431 00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:49.319 ABC's Mike Debuski says Bannon considers himself a political prisoner and says his sentence will 432 00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:53.519 only make his influence grow. Bannon also says he expects a landslide win four 433 00:32:53.519 --> 00:33:00.519 Republicans in November. Right now, the Supreme Court is expected to you issue 434 00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:06.400 a highly anticipated ruling on presidential immunity. ABC's Stephen Portnoy joins US Life from 435 00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:08.720 Washington with more. Good morning, Stephen, Hey, good morning to you. 436 00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:13.480 All Right, So, what exactly is the Supreme Court ruling on today? 437 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:19.680 Well, the question that was asked is whether a president enjoys official an 438 00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:23.519 absolute immunity for official acts he undertakes as president. Now, exactly how the 439 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:29.759 Court's going to rule? Well, if we knew that, we wouldn't have 440 00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:32.720 to wait. But we don't know, and we don't know whether the Court, 441 00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:37.440 for example, is going to draw a line at official acts and say 442 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:42.319 that all official acts are a move from prosecution, or whether there is a 443 00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:46.480 test, some sort of line in the middle where the lower courts are going 444 00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:52.599 to have to weigh certain equities and certain factors in certain circumstances. We don't 445 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:54.799 know. We'll have a better sense of it, we hope in less than 446 00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:59.880 an hour and a half. We understand that this case is tied to January 447 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:06.319 six election interference case involving President Trump, where he faces four criminal charges. 448 00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:08.719 What can you tell us about that? What can I tell you about the 449 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:14.480 January sixth case? Yes, well, the January sixth case involves the allegation 450 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:21.639 that Donald Trump conspired with aids and allies to try to overturn the election results, 451 00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:27.360 ending in the riot at the Capitol. Now he denies that. But 452 00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:31.760 the question is how many of those acts he undertook as president were official, 453 00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:38.679 how many were private? And could the court draw a dividing line and say 454 00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:43.480 that there's a way for the January sixth case against Trump to go forward focused 455 00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:49.559 squarely on the private acts things he did to advance his own personal interests rather 456 00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:53.840 than the powers he had as president to advance the interests of the country. 457 00:34:54.639 --> 00:35:00.360 Now, if the court order issues a complicated ruling today, that could result 458 00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:07.280 and protracted back and forth further appeals, kicking out the start of this trial. 459 00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:12.840 Certainly past the election. We'll have to see. Now, I understand 460 00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:17.119 that this is a really pivotal moment here in our nation's history in terms of 461 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:22.920 you know whatever they come out and say, what is this going to mean 462 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:28.840 then for future presidents moving forward, or you know, the highest leader in 463 00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:30.920 our land, what will this mean for that role? Well, you're exactly 464 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:34.199 right to note it that way. I mean, look, Neil Gorsich, 465 00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:37.760 the Conservative justice, said it at the oral argument. They're writing a rule 466 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.800 for the ages. This isn't just about Donald Trump. It's about all future 467 00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:45.880 men and women who will be president of the United States and all future prosecutions 468 00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:51.119 into their official acts. Let's see what the court rules now. For his 469 00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:55.039 part, Trump's team is arguing that without immunity, the presidents won't be free 470 00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:59.559 to make the right decisions. But what is the Justice Department saying on their 471 00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:01.920 side? Well, the Justice Department argues that there is no such thing, 472 00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:07.000 that the founders never envisioned such a thing. Trump's attorneys also say that they 473 00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.519 acknowledge that there might be some circumstances where a president might commit a crime and 474 00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:17.000 should be prosecuted, but it has to happen after the Congress impeaches and removes 475 00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:21.000 convicts him at a Senate trial. That's one of the things they stipulate, 476 00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:22.920 by the way, because if you read the text of the Constitution, it 477 00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:29.039 says that a former president can be prosecuted. But the way they read it 478 00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:34.360 is it only can happen after impeachment and conviction at a senate trial. I 479 00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:37.719 think too much has been made to the simplicity of their argument when you get 480 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.199 into the nuance of the details. They actually say that there is no such 481 00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:47.199 thing as absolute immunity if Congress first acts to impeach and convict remove a president. 482 00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.360 So if they rule that he has immunity, do you think this will 483 00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.800 have an impact on his campaign moving forward? Well, that's hard to know. 484 00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:01.039 I mean, we really it's hard to judge. There so many variables 485 00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:07.960 in the campaign. I mean, you could argue that I might that the 486 00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:12.400 cake is practically baked. Americans have a fixed view of Donald Trump one way 487 00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:16.760 or the other. They either really like him or they really don't. Well, 488 00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:20.719 this is certainly, as we've talked about, going to be a very 489 00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:23.199 important decision, and all eyes will be watching the Supreme Court today. So, 490 00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:25.400 Steven, thank you. So much for your time. You back, 491 00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:30.760 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 492 00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:35.760 hour news room. More triple digit temperatures are expected this week, with some 493 00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.760 areas in the high Desert getting as hot as one hundred and ten degrees by 494 00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:44.719 next weekend. The National Weather Service says the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys 495 00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:49.079 will see highs in the nineties all week. The Santa Flarina Valley and Valencia 496 00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.880 will hit one hundred and two degrees Wednesday and Thursday, and excessive heat warning 497 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:57.159 will be in effect in parts of La County from eleven am tomorrow to at 498 00:37:57.239 --> 00:38:00.599 least five am next Monday. They are well trained, they're hardworking, and 499 00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:05.000 they're disciplined.
