WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:04.400 Hey, if I am six forty, you're listening to Wake Up Call on 2 00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:10.919 demand on the iHeartRadio app. It's time for your morning wake up call. 3 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:23.679 Here's Jason Middleton. Good morning everybody. It's Monday. Trying to gin up 4 00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:29.280 some energy this Monday. I don't know what it is, man. Usually 5 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.159 Monday is just like another day, but for some reason just can't seem to 6 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:37.759 get into a gear this morning. Hope you're doing better than that for sure. 7 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.520 Hey it's Monday. It's July twenty fourth. By the way, we 8 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.479 have a lot of good segments coming up, so maybe that'll pull me out 9 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:49.600 of this rut. We're gonna look at the Women's World Cup. Emmett till 10 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:57.759 memorial will be unveiled today, I guess or dedicated and could a third party 11 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:03.040 get traction politically speaking and covering these for since ross perone the nineties. So 12 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:08.719 we're going to get some fresh perspective from Steve roberts on that. We have 13 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.879 lots of local news too, so let's just go ahead and get into it. 14 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.079 Ups and the Teamsters Union are heading back to the bargaining table this week. 15 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:22.719 Contract negotiations we'll resume tomorrow and are aimed at averting a strike three hundred 16 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.239 and forty thousand UPS workers, and I saw this morning on CNBC at UPS 17 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:33.680 basically ships about six percent of the nation's GDP every day, not small. 18 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.120 Republican presidential hopeful Chris Christie is blasting Florida Governor and GOP primary opponent Ron De 19 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:45.280 Santis for not taking responsibility for a new slavery curriculum that was enacted this week 20 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.200 in the Sunshine State. Israel's parliament is meeting right now for a vote on 21 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.159 a controversial overhaul of the judicial system. It's being pushed by Prime Minister of 22 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.680 Benjamin ja who was just released from the hospital today, also after being fitted 23 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.920 with a pacemaker over the week. Let's start with some more stories coming out 24 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.640 of the KFY twenty four hour news room. That's where we lead local. 25 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.919 Another LA County SHARE's deputy is being accused of excessive force. Emmett Brock's a 26 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.439 school teacher and Wittier and says on February tenth, he noticed the deputy beading 27 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.960 a black woman at a traffic stop. Brock's attorney, Thomas Beck, says 28 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.879 his client then flipped off the deputy Soon after the deputy followed his client into 29 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.439 a seven to eleven HARKing lot, where, in less than twenty seconds to 30 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:28.039 the deputy through Brock to the ground. That deputy's report says he stopped Brock 31 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.520 for an illegal placement of an air freshener, and that Brock bit the deputy 32 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.520 and that's why the force escalated. Brock, who identifies his transgender, says 33 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.319 it was retaliation for flipping off the deputy. The department says it's investigating Steve 34 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.360 Gregory. Kaf I News Special counsel Jack Smith's office has contacted Georgia Governor Brian 35 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:50.400 Kemp over the investigation to former President Trump and efforts to overturn the twenty twenty 36 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.639 election. Last week, Trump said he received a letter from Smith in forming 37 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.360 him he is a target of a January sixth grand jury investigation. A DA 38 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.080 in Georgia has been investigated since early twenty twenty one whether Trump and his allies 39 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:07.919 broke any state laws. Bit of a respite from the high temperatures today, 40 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.120 but the heat is staying on in southern California. Temperatures expected to be in 41 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.280 the nineties and one hundreds most of this week, especially in the valleys. 42 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.800 Forecasters are also calling for a possible chance of thunderstorms, and that made my 43 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.520 voice crack. In the mountains and high desert, a firefighter has been hurt 44 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:30.639 putting out a large outdoor fire that spread to a forty foot trailer in Pacoima. 45 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.120 The LAFD says the firefighter has burned to an extremity and was taken to 46 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.439 the hospital in fair condition. The fire last night was out in just over 47 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.080 thirty minutes. A woman in Montana has been killed in an apparent encounter with 48 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:49.199 a bear on a trail west of Yellowstone National Park. The body of forty 49 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.919 seven year old Amy Adamson was found Saturday. Rangers say there were grizzly bear 50 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:59.800 tracks nearby. Adamson's parents tells ABC they worried about their daughter hiking alone. 51 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.639 She had a lot of information, but my wife told her said, well, 52 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:08.759 how worried we were and and everything, and she told us, well, 53 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.800 if something happens to me on that trail, I'm doing what I love 54 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.399 to do, they say. Adamson was working in Yellowstone for the summer. 55 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.160 She quit her job teaching English eight years ago to backpack around the US and 56 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:25.800 write a book. Greece carried out its biggest ever evacuation on the island of 57 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.519 Roads, where wildfires raised for a sixth day. Around nineteen thousand people, 58 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.959 mostly tourists, were asked to leave their hotels and their homes. We have 59 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.560 Tom Rivers on the line, ABC News correspondent. Good morning, Tom, 60 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.959 Hey, Good morning Jason. So it sounds like the Women's World Cup got 61 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.399 off to a pretty great start. Let's start with the American match versus Vietnam 62 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.000 as expected or a little bit less scoring than expected. No, well maybe, 63 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:54.519 yeah. You know, we don't expect too much from some of these 64 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.680 Asian teams, but they'll really surprise you. So I think three and ll 65 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.800 is a fine, fine way to start. And course we're still in that 66 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.720 early stage where you know we're gonna have a few more games, and it 67 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.000 looks like, yes, we will progress to the knockout stage where things get 68 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.360 really, really, really interesting. But as far as our group goes, 69 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.720 we've got what the Netherlands on Thursday, that's going to be interesting than on 70 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.680 August. First, we've got Portugal, so two teams that are that are 71 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.160 said to be much better than Vietnam. We'll see what shakes out but again, 72 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.199 we have a new team, really very very young squad going for the 73 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.720 three peat and the fingers crossed. The more more, I guess, the 74 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.240 games we can get under our belts, the better and more seasoned. Now, 75 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.040 being Americans, of course, we hear the word three peat and we 76 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.120 automatically get kind of excited, but it is that. Yeah, is the 77 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.120 three peat realistic this time around? You know? Why not? Because you 78 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.800 know the field is larger this time around, and uh, you know, 79 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.480 once you get to the knockout stage, all bets are off. Anything can 80 00:05:55.519 --> 00:06:00.519 happen on any given given match. But yeah, it's I'd have to go 81 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.519 down and check with the book. He's here, but they would be in 82 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.800 for a very good shot, along with about four or five other teams. 83 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.839 Tom is in London, by the way, he's joining us from London. 84 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:15.000 So you mentioned the Netherlands are coming up next. Why what should we be 85 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.800 expecting on that match because it sounds like there might be a little more defensive 86 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.199 effort on both sides. Yeah, exactly. I think you hit it on 87 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.480 the head there, So I think we're gonna have on paper, it should 88 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:30.360 be a very very close contest, maybe a goal either side and it should 89 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:35.279 be enjoyable. The difficulty here, and probably the difficulty you're having, is, 90 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.439 you know, do you stay up in the middle of the night or 91 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.399 do you wait for the morning and then hope nobody tops you on the shoulder 92 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:45.959 and says what the score is? Right? If you record it? So's 93 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.279 it's one of those deals, right, And don't check your push notifications on 94 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.120 your phone when you wait chet that kind of thing. Keep every's exactly exactly. 95 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.800 How's the popularity doing for this this year's World Cup this time around? 96 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:00.800 I mean, I think that everything was up last time. Is it still 97 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.920 up? It's it's it's doing okay. And you know, I don't think 98 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.720 it has anything to do with the game, et cetera. It just has 99 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:14.279 to mean the difficulty of getting to either Australia or New Zealand. Um, 100 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.319 you know, for many people it's it's much easier when they hold the game, 101 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.959 say in the US or in Europe. So yeah, it's it's more 102 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:24.720 difficult to get down there. But be that as it may. The sport 103 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.759 is growing by leaps and bounds on the women's side, and h you know, 104 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:30.720 good luck to them all right, Um I guess, I guess I 105 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:35.199 should just ask one more time. It seems like the World Cup, the 106 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:40.920 finances around it this time seem to be very well elevated. Is it more 107 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.079 towards parity when it comes to the Men's World Cup? I think it's it 108 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.759 was certainly hitting in that direction. Um, you know, and look at 109 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.399 look at other sports. How many years and years decades it took, for 110 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:56.360 for instance, at Wimbledon for the women to catch up with uh with the 111 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.279 prize money to sit the man. So it's not something you can snap your 112 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.480 fingers. And sponsorship is another piece of the pie and it will catch up, 113 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.319 but we're not quite there yet. All right, Tom Rivers, thanks 114 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.720 so much for your time this morning. Enjoyed London. Take here maybe see 115 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.600 news correspondent Tom Rivers. There three nil was the first match for the Americans 116 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.319 versus Vietnam and nevlandso is up next on Thursday of this week. So watch 117 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.560 those push notifications on your phone too. If you get the iHeartRadio app, 118 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.240 you can you know, loppt in opt out every day. Let's get back 119 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.639 to some of the stories coming out of the kf I twenty four hour newsroom 120 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.519 when you woke up this morning. Elon Musk unveiled Twitter's new logo, It's 121 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.120 X tweets, he says will now be called X's. Elon Musk changed Twitter's 122 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:46.240 logo, replacing its signature bluebird with a stylized X. CEO Linda Yaccarino said 123 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.919 it's part of an overhaul to create an aipowered global marketplace, including payments, 124 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.080 video and messaging. So good luck on that. Let's not forget Twitter was 125 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.759 never really a great business to begin with, so Elon Musk bought it basically 126 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.080 to be noticed, and we continue to notice. We'll see if he can 127 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.279 make money on it. Though, the Deputy commander of the UN Command says 128 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.320 conversations have started with North Korea about the American soldier who ran across the border 129 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.639 from South Korea. That process has started, but Andrew Harrison. General Andrew 130 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:24.919 Harrison did not give details of the talks because of the very delicate nature of 131 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:30.320 these negotiations. Private Travis King was being returned to Texas last week to face 132 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:35.919 military discipline when officials say he joined a tour group and ran into North Korea. 133 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.080 Barbinhimer has lived up to expectations. At the box office. Barbie had 134 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.159 one hundred and fifty five million dollars in ticket sales over the weekend. It 135 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.200 was the biggest opening of the year and broke the first weekend record for a 136 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.240 film directed by a woman. Oppenheimer took in more than eighty million dollars. 137 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:58.679 That was director Christopher Nolan's biggest non Batman debut. The second full week of 138 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.480 a strike by America's actors and writers begins today, with the talent apparently no 139 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.519 closer to reaching an agreement with the film studios. The video streaming revolution has 140 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.440 pumped tens of billions of dollars into Hollywood in recent years, as old studios 141 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:18.399 and new tech firms compete for subscribers. But creatives complained that these streamers short 142 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.240 change them by offering a smaller share in their show's success than was typical in 143 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.080 the cable television era. It's a new era, with filming at a standstill. 144 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.320 The stars seem to have leverage over the suits so far, but their 145 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.200 position is weaker than it looks. The streamers no longer rely on America. 146 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:39.320 Netflix makes two thirds of its shows abroad, where production, of course continues. 147 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.080 Gaps in the schedule are less obvious now that people watch on demand and 148 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.519 the studios, which were already trying to cut their costs, may even welcome 149 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.639 an opportunity to cancel some projects. And we have spoken with some Writers Guild 150 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:56.240 types on this show about just that dynamic. A top psychiatrist in Arkansas has 151 00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:00.679 been accused of falsely imprisoning patients. At least twenty six former patients say they 152 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:05.279 were held against their will for days and sometimes weeks. Doctor Bryant Hyatt is 153 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.279 being investigated by state and federal authorities. They're also looking into allegations of Medicaid 154 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:15.799 fraud. Some people staying in a makeshift RV park in Silmar say they're not 155 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.799 leaving. A judge last week ordered everybody off the property, including the homeowner, 156 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.799 by this past weekend. This neighbor tells NBC for It's bitter Suite. 157 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.600 The bad part is this The people that have to live to have to move. 158 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.320 Some of them may not have places to go. That's the sad part, 159 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.480 that's the hard part. Most people renting RVs at the home have accepted 160 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.480 housing services. About two dozen RVs are on the property. The city cut 161 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:41.360 to power last week, signing fire hazards and other violations. A new California 162 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.840 law will require officers to tell drivers why they're being pulled over, and that's 163 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:50.519 before questioning. It begins next year. But there's another effort underway right now. 164 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:56.440 The State Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board wants to expand the data police 165 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.799 are required to report. Home prices are reaching record high and at least thirty 166 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.559 four California zip codes, most are in the central and southern part of the 167 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.960 state, twelve in LA and Orange County and six in Fresno County. And 168 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.480 Twitter was rebranded overnight. The iconic bird logo is it icon The iconic bird 169 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:20.360 logo is gone and its place is an x now. Owner Elon Musk says 170 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.679 the idea is to embody the imperfections in us, all that make us unique. 171 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.639 So much commentary I could throw at that one right now, but we're 172 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.320 going to hold on to that one right now because we have at the bottom 173 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.080 of the air, we have third party politics. Right now, we have 174 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.000 real party politics. With ABC's Karen Travers, Karen is on the line with 175 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.000 an update from Washington, DC Capitol Hill Civil Rights on the President's agenda today. 176 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.559 Good morning, Karen, Yeah, the President's on Tuesday's going to sign 177 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:50.440 a proclamation establishing the Emmett Kill National Monument in Illinois and Mississippi. Tuesday, 178 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.799 marsh what would have been killed eighty second birthday. He, of course, 179 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.879 was a black teenager from Chicago. He was abducted, tortured, and killed 180 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:03.639 back in nineteen five after he was accused of whistling at a white woman in 181 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.200 Mississippi. The White House says that this new monument is going to protect places 182 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.159 that tell the story of Till's too short life. He was only fourteen and 183 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.159 he was killed, and his racially motivated murder, also the unjust acquittal of 184 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:22.279 his murderers, and the activism of his mother who really pushed to bring attention 185 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.519 to his case and others and sparked such a big movement in the civil rights 186 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.480 movement. So this monument is going to have three different sites in two states, 187 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.639 one in the south side of Chicago where people gathered to mourn his death, 188 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.399 another in Mississippi at the site where his body was pulled from the river 189 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.600 there, and the third at the courthouse where his murderers were tried by a 190 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.480 jury and acquitted. So Tomorrow would have been Emmett Till's eighty second birthday. 191 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.519 I'm just want to just pull that out again because eighty second birthday. You're 192 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.720 right, he was so young when he was murdered, only fourteen years old. 193 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.159 What else is on the president's agenda for this week? Yeah, so 194 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.480 the President has no public events today at the White House, will have a 195 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.320 briefing with Karine John Pierre later today, and then later this week he's going 196 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:13.200 to get a briefing and deliver remarks on extreme heat and climate change. That's 197 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.919 going to be on Thursday. That's obviously a very big topic for millions of 198 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.720 Americans right now who are facing this just unrelenting heat wave. The temperatures are 199 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:24.519 just astonishing in so many parts of the country. I know you guys are 200 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.559 dealing with heat too. And that's Natalie Thursday, So that'll be a pretty 201 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:33.000 i think notable event. He's also welcoming to the White House on Thursday the 202 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.960 Prime Minister of Italy. They're going to be talking about Ukraine, North Africa, 203 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:41.159 China, as well as other global economic issues. Those are two big 204 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.960 highlights for the week. On Friday, then he travels up to Maine to 205 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.840 continue that push on by dynamics that we've been talking about now for a couple 206 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.279 of weeks. No specifics yet and if he has any major announcements, but 207 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:56.080 this is just another speech for the president talking about his economic agenda, and 208 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.480 then for the president heading to the beach for the weekend. Okay, all 209 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.039 right, is you going to Delaware to go to the beach? Yeah, 210 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.200 Rehoba's Delaware for the president after that event in Maine. But so kind of 211 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.720 the lighter start early on in the week and then things get pick up busy 212 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.960 Thursday and Friday at the end of the week. Hey, Karen, real 213 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.879 quick, has anything come up with the situation in North Korea with the soldier 214 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.600 There is there any buzz on the hill about that? Or are there things? 215 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.200 Just what? Everybody's just watching State Department, you know. I think 216 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.440 there's still a lot of questions, but no new information yet from the administration. 217 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:37.080 There was some news I guess over the weekend that there were conversations between 218 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.639 the UN with North Korea, but in terms of the administration, there's no 219 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.039 big update that we've received in the last couple of days. I suspect that 220 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.960 will be another big hot topic at the briefing today. I did notice one 221 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.399 other thing, just to circle back to civil rights. It says that on 222 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.799 Thursday, the President is going to deliver remarks at the Truman Civil Rights Symposium 223 00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.039 and at the National Archives in DC. Is there a re the Civil rights 224 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:04.240 is hopping this week on the agenda? I mean, was there any a 225 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.840 memorial memorial? And then of course the Truman thing. Yeah, I don't 226 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.879 know if that was just the coincidence of the scheduling. We don't have any 227 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.679 more details from the White House on that. And you know, as we 228 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.919 have mentioned earlier, the proclamation for Emmon Hill is time to his birthday, 229 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.600 which was this week, and I think that conference for the Truman Civil Rights 230 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.480 Symposium just happens to be this week, but we could check into that. 231 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.159 Okay, great, Thank you so much for your time this morning. Karen, 232 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.360 have a great day. ABC News correspondent Karen Traversed there, she's the 233 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.399 White House and Capitol Hill correspondent for ABC. Let's get some more of the 234 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.080 news coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Tumeculus School Board 235 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:47.360 has approved the elementary school curriculum and had been fighting over with Governor Newsom. 236 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.799 The board voted for nil Friday after a meeting that ran almost until midnight. 237 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:56.159 The board president said the district risks a lawsuit if it did not adopt a 238 00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.600 curriculum before school starts next month, and a compromise, board members agreed to 239 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.640 postpone one of the fourth grade lessons so it could be reviewed further. Some 240 00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:10.039 board members had concerns about whether the lesson was appropriate for fourth graders. UPS 241 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:15.799 drivers say high temperatures across the state are causing heat exhaustion for some employees without 242 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.160 air conditioning. More than three hundred thousand workers have threatened and open ended strike 243 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:22.759 if demands for higher pay, benefits, and ac and delivery trucks are not 244 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.759 met. The team stairs Victor Monaro says there have been reports of drivers even 245 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:32.200 dying because of the heat. Several have reported going to the hospital because the 246 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:36.279 heat exhaustion. Minaro says it's usually twenty to thirty degrees hotter in the back 247 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:40.440 of the trucks. It's obvious that this has the only way to address it 248 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.759 is with air conditioning. UPS says it's headed back to the negotiating table this 249 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.079 week. Chris Adler KFI News, a LA County Sheriff's Search and rescue canine 250 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:53.799 has had to be airlifted out of the mountains above Monrovia because it became overheated 251 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.480 while searching for a missing hiker. The dog had been working with teams in 252 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:02.480 the mountains yesterday trying to find Colin Walker. He was last seen on July 253 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.440 fifteenth near a trailhead in Monrovia. A man from Redondo Beach has been arrested 254 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.240 on suspicion of attempted murder for allegedly hurting a man during a car to car 255 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:17.920 shooting in Long Beach. Leon Shillingford was also booked for a parole violation. 256 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:22.119 The shooting happened Saturday night on Santa fe Avenue near Willow Street. Again, 257 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:27.599 Bye Bye Birdie. Twitter owner Elon Musk has rebranded the social network site as 258 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.319 X. It's the latest major shift since Musk took over the platform. He 259 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:37.599 posted this morning, goodbye Twitter. We will never forget you heart emoji welcome 260 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.839 X. You have a lot to live up to, so does the CEO. 261 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.960 Man, what a job she walked into there with that one. A 262 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.039 couple of more business stories this morning to get us going before we go back 263 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:53.200 to some international news. Treasury gals have edged lower this morning. Look fed 264 00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:57.480 Chairman Jerome pal and his colleagues are pretty much locked in to raising interest rates 265 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:03.240 by a quarter percentage point. That meeting starts tomorrow and goes into Wednesday, 266 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:06.839 when they will make the announcement. Rising hopes of a soft landing for the 267 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:11.279 US economy hinge on the federal reserves willingness to tolerate inflation markedly higher than it 268 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.519 would prefer. It's supposed to get to two percent. We're just about at 269 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:19.440 three point nine percent right now, and everybody anticipates not just this interest rate 270 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.279 hike but another one in September. And it's going to be hard to get 271 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.720 enough demand compression without a recession to get that price pressure out of the system. 272 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:32.079 That's according to an analyst from JP morgan Chase. Speaking of JP morgan 273 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:37.359 Chase, Wall streeters say they'd most like to work for JP Morgan CEO Jamie 274 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.640 Diamond. That's according to a Market Live Pulse survey, nearly three and five 275 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.440 of the almost six hundred respond it's picked Diamond as their preferred boss among the 276 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:51.759 heads of the big six US banks. Here's why Jamie Diamond has lorded over 277 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.119 JP Morgan Chase for more than seventeen years and during that time he has quadrupled 278 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.279 the stock price, and of course he is rather captivate, and the legions 279 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:04.920 of candid comments continue to come out of him. Some zingers on the economy 280 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:12.160 his nascent run for the presidency as well, so eyes on Jamie Diamond seemed 281 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:18.799 to never leave Jamie Diamond. Internationally speaking, Russia has accused Ukraine of launching 282 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.720 a drone attack on Moscow, during which one of the drones fell near the 283 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:27.920 Defense Ministry's main headquarters. Russian authorities say another Ukrainian drone attack early today hit 284 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:33.000 an ammunition depot in Crimea. At the same time, Russian forces struck port 285 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:38.319 infrastructure in southern Ukraine with exploding drones for workers were hurt and a grain hangar 286 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:44.319 and other depots were destroyed. Investors are watching to see if the fed derails 287 00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:48.480 the markets bull run amid a massive week for earnings, including Tech Bellweather's Microsoft, 288 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.640 Meta and Alphabet, It's Tech Week, and It's earnings Week. The 289 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:57.079 danger is that this resilient labor market is pushing policymakers to signal further tightening beyond 290 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:02.559 this week's expected rate hike, jeoparding Wall streets profit forecast. If the fed 291 00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.079 fields compelled to re accelerate heights. It could end up being the policy mistake 292 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:11.400 that everyone was looking for. That's from a US strategist at ned Davis Research. 293 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.599 Could a third party, politically speaking, get traction. I'm gonna go 294 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.720 with yes. We'll see what. Steve says. The prop industry is working 295 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.519 to support striking actors and writers. On Saturday, several prop houses held a 296 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.200 yard sale in North Hollywood, with the proceeds going to Struggling Writers Guild of 297 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:30.920 America and SAG after members. Police are investigating after a man was found shot 298 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:37.200 to death off Angele's Crest Highway in Pasadena. Investigators believe the thirty two year 299 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.000 old was a victim of a robbery gone wrong. On Saturday, two hikers 300 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.480 are hospitalized in serious condition after being rescued from a remote section of the Bell 301 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.720 Canyon area. Bell Canyon is in the west San Fernando Valley between West Hills 302 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:53.839 and Simi Valley. The women were hoisted to safety on Saturday afternoon. Coming 303 00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:59.039 up at five fifty, ABC's Jim Ryan and the dispute over a floating border 304 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:02.519 barrier on the Rio Grande River in South Texas. But right now we have 305 00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:06.079 ABC's Steve Roberts on the line to join us on Wake Up Call to talk 306 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:10.599 about the third party options and third party politics. Good morning, Steve, 307 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.680 Hi Jason, and you know you're right the possibility of a third party is 308 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:21.279 very real for at least three reasons. One, voters are unhappy with the 309 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:25.839 two choices of Biden and Trump. You look at the national polling this morning, 310 00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.359 their favorable ratings are both stuck at just about the same level, at 311 00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:36.559 about way below fifty percent. So the public mood is there. And then 312 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:40.759 you have a group called No Labels which is organizing around the country. They 313 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:45.640 have not committed themselves yet to running a third party an independent candidacy, but 314 00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:49.359 they're doing the spade work that's necessary to make it possible by getting on ballots 315 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:55.839 around the country, getting enough signatures to create a ballot space for them. 316 00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.799 And so the you know, there's a real possibility that a third party could 317 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:04.440 emerge. And I can tell you Jason that prospects as Democrats petrified. I 318 00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.680 bet Steve, let's let's stay here for a second with No Labels, because 319 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:12.759 a third party that doesn't even have a platform yet is already getting some traction 320 00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:18.319 as well. So that's a very dissatisfied electorate. It sounds like, yeah, 321 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:21.960 and that they don't really own their platform is we're not the other guys. 322 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.000 I mean, that's the basic platform, right. But also also they 323 00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.920 you know, little labels been around for a while, and they started primarily 324 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:38.799 as a legislative concept. And if you're talking about a legislature of a moderate 325 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:48.160 centrist group that builds coalitions, that serves as negotiators and bridge builders, makes 326 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:56.039 a lot of sense in a legislative situation, and and and centrists from both 327 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.400 parties were very helpful, for instance, in passing the infrastruct your bill, 328 00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:04.400 they were very helpful in passing the debt limit bill. In a legislative context, 329 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:11.200 they can be very valuable politics. Electoral politics is very different. They 330 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:15.359 can only be spoilers. No third party has ever come close to winning the 331 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.480 presidency and none ever will under the American system ever, so all they can 332 00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.480 do is tilt the election one way or another to somebody else. And look, 333 00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:29.599 we have at least three recent examples of that. In twenty and sixteen, 334 00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.079 people forget this, Donald Trump only won forty six point one percent of 335 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.240 the vote. How did you win the presidency because six percent of Americans voted 336 00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:41.480 for a third party. Many of them were former Bernie Sanders people. They 337 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:48.240 were disillusion liberal Democrats, folks who didn't like Hillary Clinton's just enough defections so 338 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.599 that Trump squeaked by in the three states that decided the election, Pennsylvania, 339 00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.920 Michigan, and Wisconsin. Four years later, the percentage of Americans who go 340 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:02.599 to third party dropped from six percent Jason to under two percent, and the 341 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.480 vast majority of those voters went back to the Democratic Party. What's the lesson? 342 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.559 Lesson is Donald Trump has a floor, but he also has a ceiling. 343 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:15.720 He won somewhere between forty six and forty seven percent of the vote. 344 00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:21.680 Both times, when the opposition is fragmented, as it was in sixteen, 345 00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:25.160 he can win. When it's unified, as it was in twenty, he 346 00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:29.720 lost. And that's why the third party is so threatening the Democrats because it's 347 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:36.319 it's it's threatening to reprise the sixteen scenario and not the twenty scenario. Right 348 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:40.640 right, right, right, So so third parties often are performative, not 349 00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:45.759 necessarily substantive. It sounds like no labels might actually have enough traction to tip 350 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:52.119 things you mentioned Senator Joe Mansion from West Virginia is basically a Democratic name only 351 00:25:52.200 --> 00:26:00.599 right now is that enough name recognition for no Labels to continue its momentum? 352 00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.559 Probably? Now you mentioned Mansion, he is as he say, he's a 353 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:08.519 he's a he's a Democrat when you say a name only. But he that 354 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:14.079 name is pretty important because he provides the margins of the Democrats to control the 355 00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:18.519 US Senate. Um. But he is a renegade. He represents a very 356 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:23.559 conservative Republican state. He loves the limelight, he loves the talk. Uh, 357 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.160 and he is. He appeared at it No Labels event just a few 358 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:30.720 weeks ago in New Hampshire. He has refused over and over again to rule 359 00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:36.880 out a third party run. But the I think in this year, the 360 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.519 personality of them, whoever heads the ticket, is less important than the mere 361 00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:47.920 fact that they say we're not Trump and we're not Biden. Um and uh, 362 00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:52.799 look, people forget Jay said how narrowly divided this country is. Think 363 00:26:52.839 --> 00:27:00.400 about this a couple of statistics. In three three years ago, if forty 364 00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.960 four thousand votes, a tiny fraction of one percent of Americans, right, 365 00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:10.240 forty four thousand votes had shifted in three states, Arizona, Georgia, and 366 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.400 Wisconsin. From Biden to Trump, the electoral college would have been tied forty 367 00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:21.559 four thousand votes. If you look at two thousand, George Bush won the 368 00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:26.400 presidency because he won Florida by five hundred and thirty seven votes. Ralph Nader, 369 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:33.279 the independent liberal renegade that year, won ninety seven thousand votes in Florida. 370 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:38.599 If one percent one percent of Nader's voters in Florida had voted for Algor, 371 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:45.599 he would have been president. So you know, voters have to understand 372 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:49.279 our listeners have to understand that we're not talking about major shifts. We're talking 373 00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:55.319 about marginal shifts that can make a huge impact. And that's why third parties 374 00:27:55.400 --> 00:28:02.240 matter. They only have to. I saw one study just recently published. 375 00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:06.920 It said if with Joe managin ticket won three percent of the vote, that's 376 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:11.160 all three percent of the vote, they would tip the election from Biden to 377 00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:15.599 Trump. So that's how close it is. That's insane. I'm kind of 378 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.640 a political junkie, Steve, and I'm going back to Lake. I'm thinking 379 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:23.400 about Ross Perrow had a pretty heavy impact in ninety two, and then I 380 00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.519 go back to nineteen eighty. I'm thinking about John Anderson as well. Do 381 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:33.359 third party runs usually favor one party or another that's established. Gee, that's 382 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.319 a good question, and I think the answer is they've gone back and forth. 383 00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:41.759 I'm glad you mentioned Ross Perow. Look, he won nineteen percent of 384 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.799 the vote. People forget how popular he was. He won nineteen percent of 385 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:51.000 the vote the first time he ran, dropped to eight percent to second time. 386 00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.759 But Bill Clinton was elected president with only forty three percent of the vote. 387 00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:59.920 I mentioned that Donald Trump won with forty six percent, but that was 388 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.799 lot more than Bill clan God, but that you know that year George Bors 389 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:10.240 only got thirty seven percent. So over the years it's swung back and forth. 390 00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.839 But I think it's if you look at the figures and you look at 391 00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:18.240 the nature of American politics this year, there's no doubt in my mind and 392 00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:22.400 the mind of anybody who studied as closely that a third party would hurt the 393 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:27.799 Democrats more. And because it's you know, you look at the difference between 394 00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:33.839 sixteen and twenty, about two thirds of the Democrat of the voters who vote 395 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.599 a third party at sixteen when they if they chose a major party four years 396 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.680 later they voted for Biden. There's a Noble Wall Street Journal poll that came 397 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:48.000 out recently and they and about twelve percent of Americans said they were really unhappy 398 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:55.119 with the choices of Biden or Trump. But of those if they were asked 399 00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.799 to pick somebody, they were forced to pick somebody, they weren't much more 400 00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:04.640 favorable Biden. This year. All the evidence we have indicates that a third 401 00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:08.400 party would be much more damaging to the Democrats. All right, thank you 402 00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:12.960 for summarizing that for Steve. Always a pleasure I love getting the week started 403 00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:18.440 off with a Steve Roberts conversation. Thanks a lot for your time anytime, 404 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:21.920 Jasent. Thanks ABC News political analysts. Right there, Steve Roberts. A 405 00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:26.400 couple of quick stories before we go to break. Doctors. Okay, doctors 406 00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.559 are having to tell people not to eat or drink borax, the laundry detergent 407 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.400 that's also used to kill ants and cockroaches. People on TikTok have falsely suggested 408 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:40.799 that adding a pinch of borax to their water could reduce inflammation and ease joint 409 00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:45.559 pain. One toxicology expert says borax can cause stomach irritation and potentially result in 410 00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:52.160 blue green vomit or diarrhea. If ingested over time, it can cause anemia 411 00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.079 and seizures. She says. Soaking in borax, as some videos also suggest, 412 00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.839 could cause rashes that make the skin appear as bright pink as a boiled 413 00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:07.759 lobster and start to fall off. Used to be car manuals came and told 414 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.240 you how to fix a carburetor. Now it comes with a page that that 415 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:15.799 says, don't drink the battery acid. We're getting dumber. A week long 416 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:19.759 wildfire on the Greek island of Rods has forced more evacuations. About nineteen thousand 417 00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:23.519 people, mostly tourists, were moved in buses and boats over the weekend out 418 00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:27.119 of the path of the fire that reached several coastal areas from nearby mountains. 419 00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:33.480 Evacuations were also ordered overnight on the western island of Corfu. Three major fires 420 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.880 are also burning in other parts of the country. UPS and the Teamsters union 421 00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.000 are heading back to the bargaining table this week. Contract negotiations that will resume 422 00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:48.039 tomorrow are aimed at averting a strike by three hundred and forty thousand UPS workers. 423 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.839 Republican presidential hopeful Chris Christie is blasting Florida Governor and GOP primary opponent Rod 424 00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:59.400 distantus We're not taking responsibility for a new slavery curriculum that was enacted this week 425 00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:02.400 in the Sunshine State. Israel's parliament is meeting today for a vote on a 426 00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:07.240 controversial overhaul of the judicial system pushed by Prime Minister Benjamin net And Yahoo Nat 427 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:12.559 And Yahoo was just released from the hospital today after being fitted with a pacemaker 428 00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:15.160 over the weekend. It is five fifty two on your wake up call and 429 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.599 we have ABC's Jim Ryan on the line. The US Department of Justice has 430 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.319 informed the State of Texas that it intends to file a lawsuit. Good morning, 431 00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:25.799 Jim. Yeah. Two o'clock this afternoon is the deadline, Jason that 432 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.359 unless the State of Texas has pulled these buoys out of the Rio Grand, 433 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:36.240 these four foot high obstructions essentially that have been put out there for a thousand 434 00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.480 foot string of them in the Rio Grand that border between the US Mexico, 435 00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:45.880 that the federal government will file suit. The reasoning here the section ten of 436 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:50.960 the Rivers and Harbors Act Riverson Harbors Act prohibits the creation of any obstruction to 437 00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:54.519 the navigable capacity of waters of the US that would include the Rio grand So 438 00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.000 that would be the basis for the lawsuit. State of Texas and Governor Greg 439 00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:02.000 Abbott have given noe to Asian that they intend to remove that barrier from the 440 00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:05.839 river. How long have those buoyes been there? About a week and a 441 00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:07.920 half, two weeks or so. They've been talking about it for some time, 442 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:13.599 and we saw concepts about a month ago, and then finally the actual 443 00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:17.839 buoies were put out there. These are big four foot bright orange plastic spheres 444 00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:22.240 that are joined together and then tethered to the bottom of the Rio grand by 445 00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.519 mesh netting, so you can't swim under them, try to crawl over them, 446 00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:30.920 and they just roll forward and so they're almost impossible to get through. 447 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:35.279 Does Mexico have anything to say about this is the Rio Grande? Yes, 448 00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:39.400 Mexico. The Mexican Foreign Ministers says the buoys risk violating the Water Treaty of 449 00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:45.960 nineteen forty four. The country of Mexico will send some observers up to the 450 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:47.960 Rio grand in the coming days to take a look at this to see if 451 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:53.599 there is a broader problem in treaties with Mexico. So yeah, there's at 452 00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:57.440 least on the face of it, the problem that Mexico has with this too. 453 00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.799 Okay, what part of the river are talking at? Are we talking 454 00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:06.000 to al Paso Ties side over towards Corpus Christie's side? Well, somewhere between 455 00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:09.719 those two passes, down along the sort of the southern bend of the Rio 456 00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:13.760 Grand. It's only a thousand feet of this stuff. But I think that 457 00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:16.559 Governor Abbott sees it as a trial kind of a pilot program, and if 458 00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:21.079 it works there, then he would like to see it extended even beyond that. 459 00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.079 But I mean, the whole border between Texas and Mexico is twelve hundred 460 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:28.039 miles, all of it separated by the Royal Grand So there would be a 461 00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:31.159 monumental task to try to put this across that up and down that whole twelve 462 00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:36.639 thousand miles stretch. So this pilot program is getting attention from the Feds. 463 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:37.920 Obviously today at two o'clock, as you said, there's going to be a 464 00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:44.280 lawsuit filed. How is Governor Greg Abbott prepping his people for this lawsuit? 465 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:47.599 Well, he's sumbing his nose at the lawsuit and the federal government says, 466 00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:52.599 we'll see you in court. He sees this as a broader battle between Austin, 467 00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:57.480 the State of Texas and Washington, the by administration, which he says 468 00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:01.519 hasn't done enough to secure the border since Title forty two came into a factor. 469 00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:07.599 Since it was repealed and replaced with Title eight in May, the number 470 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:10.440 of people trying to come into the country illegally has declined dramatically. That's also 471 00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:15.559 a function that the weather too, it's extremely hot. Um. But Abbott 472 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.760 says that, you know, he's not as concerned with migrant family he's trying 473 00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:22.159 to come into the border, come into the country illegally, as he is 474 00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:28.239 about guns and weapons, you know, and drugs and money. So that's 475 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:30.599 been sort of his focus in this whole thing. Has there been any mention 476 00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:36.000 of a plan B Let's say, if there's if there's a temporary restraining order 477 00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:38.800 upheld by the court today or issued by the court today, as Governor Abbott 478 00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:42.960 going to as he said, if he's going to follow it, he was 479 00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:46.039 going to he's going to respect it. Well, yeah, I suspect that 480 00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:49.760 he would. I don't think that he could. He's going to violate the 481 00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.320 law if that if that's what a judge rules in this case. But he 482 00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:55.239 does say that he plans to carry it all the way to the Supreme Court. 483 00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:00.639 So as if there is a tr put into place, I suspect that 484 00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.039 it would be that he the barriers would stay in place as long as the 485 00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:07.320 appeals for going on, and Abbott says the appeals will go all the way 486 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:09.480 at the top. All right, ABC's Jim Ryan there from Texas. Thanks 487 00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:13.599 a lot for your time this morning, Jim. Absolutely, let's get back 488 00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:15.400 to some of the stories coming out of the KFY twenty four hour newsroom before 489 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:20.639 we get to handle on the news. Another LA County sheriff's deputy is under 490 00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:24.639 investigation for allegedly using excessive force. An attorney says his client, who identifies 491 00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:29.960 as transgender, was thrown to the pavement during a traffic stop February the tenth 492 00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:34.800 and Wittier. The attorney says his client flipped off the deputy while the deputy 493 00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.559 was berating a black woman at an unrelated traffic stop, and that's why the 494 00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.960 deputy followed his client and attacked him. This is the third use of force 495 00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:46.280 accusation against deputies within the past four weeks. Human remains have been found in 496 00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:51.719 three suitcases seen floating in the water in Delray Beach, Florida. Investigators say 497 00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:55.239 they believe the remains belonged to one woman they've sent They've been sent to a 498 00:36:55.280 --> 00:37:01.239 medical examiner to be identified.
