He talked about 11 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.280 his decision to not run from the Oval Office last night, following weeks of 12 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.560 pressure from his allies concerned about his mental fitness and whether he could defeat Donald 13 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.719 Trump in November. We're gonna find out more about what he said and what 14 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.519 he didn't say with ABC's Karen Travers. In just a couple of minutes, 15 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.359 a man's been stabbed leaving a metro station in North Hollywood.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has chastised the 25 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:20.000 protesters outside as he gave a speech to Congress inside the capitol yesterday. Let's 26 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.919 get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 27 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.400 newsroom. The man who broke into the home of La Mayor Bass has pleaded 28 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.840 no contest. He was given a suspended sentence yesterday in order to get mandatory 29 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:37.159 drug abuse and mental health treatmental be on two years probation. Ephraim Hunter was 30 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.960 arrested in April for breaking into the Getty House in Hancock Park. Bass and 31 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.719 her family were home at the time, but no one was hurt. Anaheim 32 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:50.039 has approved Orange County's first veterans cemetery. The two hundred and thirty eight acre 33 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.599 plot also includes a desperately needed public cemetery that could open right as the county 34 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.039 runs out of burial spots in twenty twenty seven. As for veterans, this 35 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.560 is the least that we can do. Annahei. Mayor Ashley Aikins says it's 36 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.840 an honor to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have given so 37 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:10.000 much to our country.

The cemeteries approved Tuesday also 39 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:22.960 reserved plots for firefighters and police officers in Anaheim. KORbin Carson KFI News Mister 40 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:31.000 Speaker, the Prime Minister of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been greeted with 41 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.280 applause before speaking to a joint meeting of Congress. He thanked the US for 42 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.280 its assistance in fighting against TAMAS and pushed back on the notion that Israeli forces 43 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:47.159 are intentionally putting civilians in Gaza in harm's way. Every civilian death is a 44 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:54.800 tragedy for Hamas. It's a strategy. They actually want Palestinian civilians to die. 45 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.280 Netanyah, who says Israeli forces are heroes who should be commended, not 46 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.599 condemned. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the Prime Minister's speech to Congress was 47 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:12.800 the worst presentation ever given by a foreign dignitary. She skipped the meeting yesterday 48 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.639 to attend a live listening session with families of hostages held by Hamas and those 49 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.680 killed in the war. Roughly half of the House and Senate Democrats did not 50 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:26.399 attend the address. Thousands of people gathered outside the capital to protest the war. 51 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.839 Today, Israel's Prime Minister will be meeting with President Biden at the White 52 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:36.040 House, and then we'll also be meeting with the likely Democratic presidential candidate, 53 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:43.360 Vice President Kamala Harris. Time to check in with ABC's Karen Travers at the 54 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.439 White House. So, Karen, the President spoke about leaving the right race 55 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.399 for president from the Oval Office last night. What did he say about wise 56 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.560 leaving. The President said that in recent weeks it was clear that he needed 57 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.120 to unite his party. He said, I revered this office, but I 58 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.600 love my country more and that nothing can come in the way of saving democracy, 59 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.040 and he said that includes personal ambition. So he decided the best way 60 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.759 forward is to pass the torch to a new generation, that that was the 61 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.839 best way to unite the nation. He'd never explicitly said he did not think 62 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.079 he could win the race. In fact, he said he thought his record 63 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.279 as president, his leadership around the world, and he said his vision for 64 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:28.680 amer America's future all merited a second term in office. But he implicitly seemed 65 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.240 to be acknowledging and conceding that there was a recognition he was not likely to 66 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.720 win the race, or that the Democratic Party was ready to move on from 67 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.000 him. He said, it's the honor of his life to serve as president, 68 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.480 but in defensive democracy, I think it's more important than any title. 69 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.439 I think. It was also notable to hear the President say there's a time 70 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.319 and place for long years of experience in public life. There's also a time 71 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:56.480 and place for new voices, fresh voices, yes, younger voices and he 72 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.079 said that time and place is now. But I think we've talked about this. 73 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.199 How back in twenty twenty, when he was running for the White House, 74 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.279 he said he viewed himself as a bridge candidate, not anything more, 75 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:11.000 but there was another generation of leaders standing behind him who were the future of 76 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:15.399 the country. Really looking at himself as a transitional president. That changed, 77 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.920 of course, when he decided to run for reelection. Now he is saying 78 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.920 he's ready to pass the torch. But you know, depending on what happens 79 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:25.759 in November, there could be many who say he should have done this a 80 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.439 year or so ago in order to pave the way for that next generation. 81 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.480 And it was a huge shift because just last week when he was talking with 82 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.240 I believe it was Lester Hold, he said, you said you were a 83 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.240 bridge candidate, but now you're running. And he said, that's because the 84 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.720 job's not done and I got to do it. I'm the one to do 85 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.680 it. So he was not finished. He was animant about that that he 86 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.600 still had things to do. The job wasn't finished. Now, he did 87 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.040 say he still has work to do. He said, he has six months 88 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:55.920 left on the job, and there are a lot of things he wants to 89 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.839 accomplish. That's different though, that's you know what I'm going to do, 90 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.959 serving out my lamb duck presidency. But again, he really did say last 91 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:08.519 night that he believes he still should deserve another four years, but also recognizing 92 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.480 that there are people in the Democratic Party and the country who don't agree with 93 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.360 that, so that you know, this is an inflection point, as he 94 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.319 said that this moment will determine the fate of our nation and the world for 95 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.680 decades to come. So, you know, Democrats saying it was the patriotic 96 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:27.360 decision, it was doing his duty for the country, and a very selfless 97 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.399 but difficult decision for the president to make. Yeah, and a very carefully 98 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.680 crafted speech. And you know, because we I think we all know at 99 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.680 this point he didn't want to step down. No, I mean, I 100 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:41.199 think he wants to stay in. He could have made that clear last night, 101 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.040 but there was a political reality facing him. I also think it was 102 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.519 notable the White House yesterday said he did not make this decision because of his 103 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.319 health. He did not make this decision because he doesn't think he can serve 104 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:57.319 another four years in office, or didn't think that he could continue this campaign 105 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.160 and He never got into that last night. He never acknowledged you know, 106 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.319 what had been swirling for the last several weeks since the debate, the democratic 107 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:11.600 concern and handwringing over his ability to serve another four years and what that meant 108 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.839 about his mental fitness and mental acuity. That wasn't talked about it all last 109 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.480 night in his remarks, which isn't surprising. I mean, I was thinking 110 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.720 about it because there was a lot of people saying he didn't even acknowledge that, 111 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.199 And I'm like, how would you acknowledge that? Because she I just 112 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.759 can't handle ready to go? Yeah, So, I mean I give him 113 00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:37.000 kind of a pass on that, although I think we all know that this 114 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.679 was not his ultimate goal. He doesn't want to do this, and it's 115 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.360 kind of having to do it. Yeah. So what happens now is a 116 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.600 business as usual at the White House while Harris goes out to make her case 117 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.840 for why she should be president, or she'll be out there on the campaign 118 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.240 trail, you know, very aggressively, I think, you know, the 119 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.559 spending the bulk of her time on the campaign trail. The President continues the 120 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.840 work of the president, and today he is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 121 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.240 Netanyahu today here at the White House. That's a very critical meeting. One 122 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.399 of the big things the President laid out last night was his work tried to 123 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.679 reach a ceasefire in Gaza and bring home the hostages. And then Vice President 124 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.080 Harris is also going to meet with them. Are they going to meet separately 125 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.000 or together? They're going to have a separate meeting. She is traveling today 126 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.679 and then comes back and meets with Netanya, who separately later this afternoon. 127 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.200 Okay, Karen Travis, thank you so much for the information. We'll talk 128 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.240 to you soon. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 129 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.679 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Excessive heat warnings or advisories are in place 130 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.519 for many areas in La County, and more triple digit temperatures are likely in 131 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.759 the Antelope Valley. The National Weather Service says there's a slight chance of showers 132 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.480 and thunderstorms across interior parts of the area through this evening. A heat advisory 133 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.480 has been issued for the Inland Empire till ten tonight. Excessive heat warnings are 134 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.919 in effect until tomorrow for the Coachella Valley, with temperatures expected to hit one 135 00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.639 sixteen, but the weekend should be cooler. Children La County are getting educated 136 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.440 on excessive heat. The Board of Supervisors instructed the Department of Health the partner 137 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.080 with other agencies to develop a curriculum to present to students in pre K through 138 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.440 high. School Supervisor Hilda Sali says because children spend so much time outside, 139 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.240 they could face more danger from excessive heat. That makes children more vulnerable to 140 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.600 heat illness and it can have serious effects on their health and well being. 141 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.320 The board also asked for a heat alert warning system to be distributed to schools 142 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:30.200 and childcare facilities, along with instructions on how to react in downtown La Michael 143 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:35.240 monks KFI News. Nine more former students at Rosemead High School are suing the 144 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.879 Elmonte School District over allegations of sexual abuse. Attorney Michael Correo says the high 145 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.639 school has a history of being a safe haven for child sex predators. They 146 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.759 teach their teachers and their administrators not to report child abasts within thirty six hours, 147 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:54.159 but instead to investigate themselves and then only if they absolutely have to report 148 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.480 it. That's not the law. The lawsuit filed Tuesday, names five male 149 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.240 employees as perpetrators and accuses the district of knowing the men were a danger to 150 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.320 students. Three other former students filed a separate lawsuit in May, alleging decades 151 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.399 of sexual abuse. Scammers posing his reps for a software company have ripped off 152 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.159 a man in Burbank. The scammers pretended to work for McAfee.

She paid to have the fake purchase of child porn removed 159 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.480 from her bank history.

Russian and Chinese military jets 168 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.879 and bombers that got too close for comfort have been detected, tracked, and 169 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.639 intercepted by US and Canadian forces off Alaska in what's known as the Alaska Air 170 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:39.200 Defense Identification Zone. It happened shortly before President Biden's Oval Office address last night. 171 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.039 NORAD says the planes did not actually enter US airspace and went on to 172 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:48.240 say that the planes were not seen as a threat. The man who broke 173 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.519 into La Mayor Bass's home has pleaded no contest to felony vandalism charges and was 174 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.360 sentenced to two years probation. Twenty nine year old Ephrem Hunter must also pay 175 00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.559 fifteen thousand dollars restitution and get drug mental health treatment. Mayor Bass and her 176 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.799 family were at home at the time of the break break in in Hancock Park 177 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.159 in April, but no one was hurt. The La Zoo has broken its 178 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:16.200 own record with seventeen California condor chicks hatched during this year's breeding season. The 179 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.000 final chick hatched last month. The zoo says it's doing well. Each of 180 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.879 the birds could eventually be released back into the wild. In nineteen eighty three, 181 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:28.519 only twenty two California condors were left on earth. There are now five 182 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.000 hundred and sixty. More than half of them are flying free in California, 183 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.360 Arizona, and Mexico. At six oh five, is handle on the news 184 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.600 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress through thousands of protesters who took down and 185 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.399 burned American flags and sprayed graffiti on monuments, including things like Hamas is coming. 186 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.840 Let's say good morning now to ABC Crime and Terror analyst Brad Garrett. 187 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.399 Heybrad morning, Amy. Hey, It's going to be two weeks on Saturday 188 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.120 since an attempt which was made on former is it in Trump's life? We're 189 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.159 finding out more and more about the shooting. But are we finding more out 190 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:09.000 about the shooter? Well, only a little bit apparently did a Google search 191 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:16.960 of the distance between the shooter of President Kennedy back in sixty two or sixty 192 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:22.720 three. He bought ammunition the day of the shooting. But the thing I 193 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:28.240 find most interesting is what he had on his phone. And it wasn't anything 194 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.639 incriminating, but he had pictures of President Biden, former President Trump, FBI 195 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:39.960 Director Ray, Attorney General Garland, and the Princess of Wale, Kate Middleton. 196 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.960 Now what that tells me is, and obviously that's a diverse group of 197 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:50.360 people, is this wasn't probably about former President Trump. This was about fame, 198 00:14:52.480 --> 00:15:00.279 which is a common characteristic of mass shooters that they want attention and they 199 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:05.799 want it to be as glorious as they can be. And obviously killing any 200 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.240 of these people I just mentioned would get you a lot of attention. Now 201 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:15.720 you'll probably be dead, which is the case here, but apparently that doesn't 202 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:22.279 matter to them. You know, you mentioned that he also had pictures of 203 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:28.039 Kate Middleton, which just that just went ooh, that's like with Reagan's attempt 204 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:33.679 assassin. He was wasn't he obsessed with Jody Foster? Yes, and he 205 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:39.080 was just trying to get to draw attention to himself, basically thinking in his 206 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:46.960 deluded mind that that would have some positive impact on Jody Foster. Yeah. 207 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:54.200 So, Brad, if we can't learn what a shooter's motives are beyond like 208 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.720 you're saying, the kind of the signals are showing that maybe he just he 209 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:02.200 wanted the fame, what can be done to better protect people for the future. 210 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.480 So we just have to have advanced indicators. Now, some people would 211 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:14.200 argue that they had advanced indicators at the rally and they had missed opportunities, 212 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:19.320 which may end up being true. We'll just have to see. But if 213 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:25.679 you're talking about like prior to an actual event happening, you have to have 214 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.919 two things. One, you have to have the information. So in other 215 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:37.480 words, postings on the internet, texting messages, correct snapchat fill in the 216 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.159 blank. He did use apparently some encrypted apps, the director Ray said yesterday 217 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:47.399 they're still working on so don't see where that goes. But the short answer 218 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:52.360 is without information, I could rattle off about a dozen characteristics of this kid 219 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.759 that fit almost every mass shooting, but it's not helpful because you and I 220 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:02.600 probably know people that are isolating, they're depressed, low self esteem, hate, 221 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.759 the world, but they don't go out and harm anybody. So it's 222 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:11.039 good to know, but it's not helpful in getting in front of the next 223 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:17.000 mass shooter. And so it's A the information, but it's B excuse me, 224 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.319 or actually three things. B it's telling somebody in law enforcement, and 225 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.160 C this law enforcement actually doing something about it. So knowing that some people, 226 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:30.599 like you said, not everybody turns into a mass shooter. There's a 227 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.119 lot of people who are depressed, hate the world, disenfranchise or whatever. 228 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:40.000 I mean, knowing that, is there a way to diffuse a potential mass 229 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.160 shooter aside from making the world this happy, happy, joy joy place, 230 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:47.200 which we know we can't well, I mean, if you have enough information 231 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.640 like you and California have red flag laws. I don't know about Pennsylvania to 232 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.920 have to look, they had a red flag law and they had information that 233 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.960 he was going to go harm himself or others, they could temporarily cease fire 234 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.559 arms. Could that have slowed him down? Maybe? Excuse me. The 235 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:08.160 problem with mass shooters, Amy is that it's all you know. They work 236 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:14.240 on these things for weeks and months at a time, and he's been thinking 237 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:17.200 about this for a long time. I'm going to assume, and so even 238 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:19.000 if you seized his weapons, would he figure out a way to get another 239 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.920 one? Maybe? Well? And then what's interesting too is, like you 240 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.559 said, he's been thinking about this for quite a while, and I'm not 241 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:33.039 sure how how much in advance they announced the rally, But was it an 242 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.559 opportunistic thing, like he's been obsessing about it and he goes, oh, 243 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.440 wow, look the former President's going to be right there in a couple of 244 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:45.359 weeks, right. I think there's no doubt that's the case. That obviously 245 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.920 the other targets are potential targets that I mentioned were not convenient. And I 246 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:56.720 think just if you would have switched things around and said the President Biden was 247 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:03.359 having a rally, in particular an outside rally in or near Pittsburgh, that 248 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:10.480 that's where he would have been in July and not in Butler County, Pennsylvania, 249 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:15.799 where President Trump was. So seeing from what you've seen and what you 250 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.599 know of this, because I'm sure that you've been watching it very closely, 251 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.759 in your opinion, Brad, could anything have really been done to stop the 252 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.640 shooter before he got to the rooftop one hundred and fifty yards from the president 253 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.279 or is it just this okay? I think so okay, I mean, 254 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:34.079 and I'm not pointing fingers because I'm not inside this investigation like I used to 255 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:38.640 be. But there's too much time between. It looks like to me, 256 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:44.720 where civilians seeing with a weapon on the roof, where local law enforcement seeing 257 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:49.960 with a weapon on the roof, and before the Secret Service actually take him 258 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:55.759 out, which is after basically he's fired eight shots. Yeah, and it's 259 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.440 only by the grace of God he didn't kill former President Trump. It's, 260 00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.000 you know, probably because he was rushed because the officer. One officer did 261 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.359 climb up on the roof, he pointed the weapon at him and then apparently 262 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:10.400 swings around and then starts shooting, knowing he's probably at a time, which 263 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:15.200 was true. So I think there's missed opportunities there. I'd like to know 264 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:22.440 more. When they labeled him a suspicious person an hour before the event started, 265 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.599 like at five o'clock, what does that mean? Why did they label 266 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:33.000 him suspicious? They didn't label him a threat according to the Secret Service director. 267 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.119 Now, there's always going to be odd people show up at these events. 268 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:42.119 It's just the reality of events, and there'd be a lot of people 269 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:47.279 you might want to keep an eye on, but you're not going to devote 270 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:52.519 four officers to follow him around because the acts strange. So is it something 271 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.279 like that? And maybe or maybe not, he had this folded stock AR 272 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.720 fifteen, which probably would have fit in the backpack. Did he have that 273 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.960 them or did he go back and get it? My guess is he didn't 274 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.799 have it, then he either stashed it or it was in this vehicle. 275 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:12.240 But he was outside the perimeter anyway. He was outside the perimeter. But 276 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:18.920 he also, though, was at a place on this building where other people 277 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:23.680 could have a line of sight of President Trump. And so you asked to 278 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:30.519 ask the question, you know, why wasn't there another sniper on the roof 279 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:36.160 of those buildings in and where he was? I mean, I'm second guessing 280 00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:41.480 here, but the point being, did they have enough manpower? And I'm 281 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.799 directing that more specifically not at the Secret Service, but the Sinney County and 282 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:52.240 state officers who these events would never happen if they didn't help, because they 283 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:55.400 couldn't pull them off. And they do a lot of this perimeter stuff you 284 00:21:55.400 --> 00:22:00.400 and I are talking about. And did they have enough people? I don't 285 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.119 know they may have and they may not have. That's going to be part 286 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:08.519 of this investigation. Well, hopefully they'll learn and course correct and keep these 287 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:14.720 people safe in the future. The protectees. Yeah, I mean, I'll 288 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:18.200 just say as a final note, it's a dicey thing at these events, 289 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.480 particularly if they're outside. You have so many moving parts. And I'm not 290 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.880 saying that Secret Service did this correctly because I don't think they did. But 291 00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:30.559 I have some empathy because things can change so quickly on you and then you're 292 00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:34.359 you're behind, You're behind, and once you're behind in an event like this, 293 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.839 it can be fatal. All right, Brad Garrett, ABC News Crime 294 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.279 and Terrorism Analyst, Always appreciate your time and your inside. Thank you, 295 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.279 Take care, Amy, all right, tart too soon. The La Kenny 296 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:49.359 Sheriff's Department says it's hoping a twenty thousand dollars reward will help find the killer 297 00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:53.160 of a young marine in Bellflowers. Investigators say they have no idea why Peter 298 00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.960 Troontalo was the target of an attack. Mister Stalla was assaulted by at least 299 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.000 two males. Mister Installa was left lying in the middle of the street. 300 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:06.839 I was struck by a passing vehicle. Lieutenant Patricia Thomas says Tuontala was found 301 00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:10.279 Tuesday, May twenty eighth, just after two am at the intersection of Virginia 302 00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:14.000 Avenue and Artisa Boulevard. Trintala's wife, Jerina says they were married for eleven 303 00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:17.920 years. Our son is without a father now. I think it is just 304 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.079 painful to bear. Steve Gregory kay if I News. A bill before the 305 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:27.640 California legislature would hold banks accountable for not protecting their senior customers from scammers. 306 00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:33.880 If passed, the bill would require banks to implement a trusted financial contact program 307 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.559 for customer sixty five and up, and if something suspicious happened, it would 308 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:41.960 pause transactions of more than five thousand dollars for three days. Another hearing on 309 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.480 the bill is scheduled for next month. A rare dolphin has been spotted off 310 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:49.400 the coast of Orange County. The ghostly looking dolphin was seen swimming in a 311 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:53.359 pod with other dolphins earlier this week in Dana Point. Experts say they think 312 00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:59.599 the dolphins appearance is due to a rare loss of skin pigmentation. Israeli Prime 313 00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:03.519 Minister Benjamin NATANYAHUO is said to make a long awaited White House visit to meet 314 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:08.960 with President Biden and then with likely Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. The 315 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.559 meetings come as pressure mounts to end the war with Hamas and get those hostages 316 00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:18.680 released. Police are investigating the delivery of two letters containing a white powdery substance 317 00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:25.640 to Democratic Congresswoman Norma Torres's district office in Ontario. Tores calls the letters an 318 00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:30.319 attack on her office. Torres and her staff sheltered in place while a hazmat 319 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:34.480 team investigated the letters. A new study shows online gambling is a good bet 320 00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:38.480 for the state, but a poor bet for the gambler. Researchers at u 321 00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:45.720 SEE San Diego say the legalization of online gambling increases tax revenues but also increases 322 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:51.799 irresponsible behavior, especially for low income consumers. The study shows only four percent 323 00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:56.480 actually make money in their online bets. Ninety six percent lose their money. 324 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.039 At six ZHO five, it's handled on the news. We've got some fires 325 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.000 burning here, but there's a massive wildfire tearing through our neighbor to the north 326 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:07.319 in Oregon. At five point fifty, we're going to be talking with ABC 327 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:12.799 Stephen Portnoy about what we learned from Benjamin Nettan Yahoo's addressed to Congress and who 328 00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:18.599 didn't show up for the speech. Hi Bobby, Hi, She's so cool. 329 00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:25.079 A Waco call is out and about. This week at the Hollywood Bowl, 330 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.160 one of the best places, in my humble opinion, on the planet 331 00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:33.519 to see a concert, things are looking distinctly pink this weekend because Barbie is 332 00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.640 coming to the Hollywood Bowl this Saturday night. We caught up with the producer 333 00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:42.279 and conductor of this one of a kind performance, Macey Schmidt. Good morning 334 00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:47.920 Ma, Good morning Amy. So tell us what is this Barbie experience at 335 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.039 the Hollywood Bowl. Absolutely so, this Barbie experience at the Hollywood Bowl. 336 00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:55.200 Barbie the movie in concert. Many of you in LA who have seen shows 337 00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:59.039 at the Hollywood Bowl their live score film concert events. The experience is that 338 00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:02.319 the film plays on a big giant screen, actually at the Bowl, many 339 00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:06.400 giant screens, while an orchestra plays the music live. But what's different about 340 00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:11.480 ours not only that the orchestra is my all women orchestra, the Cinfignetta, 341 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.359 that we really are taking kind of the creative to the next level. So 342 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.880 when you step into the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday night. You are in Barbieland 343 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.759 we've left the real world at the door. Oh and the the amount of 344 00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.519 creative that we've kind of put into making the audience feel like they are in 345 00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:29.039 Barbieland, like we were truly spending a night. If if you lived in 346 00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:30.839 Barbieland and you wanted to go have a night out of the symphony, you 347 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.440 would go see the Barbie land Sinfignetta and they wouldn't be playing Molta. They 348 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.920 would be playing Dua Lipa and Lizzo and all of the artists of Barbieland. 349 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:44.119 Okay, so there's going to be decorations. There's there's some very special stage 350 00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:48.240 creative that I will say is the film not common for live score events at 351 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:52.519 the Bowl. There's a stage creative that is designed to be Barbieland. The 352 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.759 all women musicians are costumed, They have a lot of they have a lot 353 00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.599 of interaction with the film. That's also not common for the kinds of live 354 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.039 score events where all of women on stage are Barbie and they really interplay with 355 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.000 the action of what's going on in the film. There will be some audience 356 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:10.799 interaction things, and I will say for those of you coming. I really 357 00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:12.559 recommend sticking around towards the end of the till the end of the credits, 358 00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:17.279 because there may or may not be a barbieland fireworks spectacular. But who can 359 00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:18.759 say? Okay. So it's sort of like when you go see a movie 360 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.440 these days where they have the little clips at the end that you need to 361 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.039 stay through the credit. It's the same kind of idea. Uh huh. 362 00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:30.039 Okay. So you said that it's an all female and it's called a cinfignette. 363 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.480 It's the orchestra's called the Sinfignetta for this special performance, the Barbie Land 364 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.640 Sinfignette. Okay, and it's an all women and almost entirely women of color 365 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.599 orchestra. Awesome and how unusual is it to have an all woman orchestra? 366 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.920 Extremely unusual. I actually founded the Cinfignetta. The first one, the Broadway 367 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.599 Sinfignetta in New York. I found it in twenty twenty, and as the 368 00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:53.400 Sinfignetta gained attraction, we started launching them around the world. We have a 369 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.720 Hollywood Sinfignetta based in La A Broadway, Somethingetta based in New York, a 370 00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.240 few others around the world. But for the special event they're coming together as 371 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.960 the co branded Barbie Land since Finetta. I love this. Okay, So 372 00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.119 when you come into the Bowl and if you've been to the Bowl, and 373 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.160 if you haven't been to the Bull, you guys, it's time. If 374 00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:14.200 you haven't been to the Bull, it's time. Tell us what makes the 375 00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:19.119 experience at the Hollywood Bowl such an amazing amazing I mean, the Hollywood Bowl 376 00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:25.279 is just I mean, iconic is almost too overused of a word for when 377 00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:27.559 the Hollywood Bowl is. I was just at the Hollywood Bull this past Saturday. 378 00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:32.240 I'm supporting another show, and I was just taking it in. It's 379 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:37.440 it's like there's a majesty, like a majesticness to the Bull, arch the 380 00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:42.000 hills, the scope of how big the crowd is, and I just there's 381 00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:45.400 nothing like seeing a show, let alone a film concert in the Bowl. 382 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:49.759 It really to be on the one year anniversary of this film World premiering this 383 00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:53.000 show at the Bowl is a dream. I love that. And one of 384 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.960 the things that I think is so special about the Bull too, is the 385 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.920 sound is so and I don't know this is an untechnical term, but it's 386 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:04.440 pristine. It's pristide, it is world class perfect. No matter where you're 387 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.480 sitting, it's just like, how did you do that? Like you go 388 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.559 to a concert and sometimes this sounds not that great, but at the Bowl 389 00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:15.519 it's perfect. I mean, it's really something special because in every single department, 390 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:19.440 in every single category putting together this show has not just been in I've 391 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:22.599 done other film concerts where it's just you show the film, you bring the 392 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.759 music, and orchestra plays it down, and that's really it. The scope 393 00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.559 of creative and multi department coordination required for the show is more kin to a 394 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:36.160 Broadway musical than your average live score ahead. The number of departments doing creative 395 00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:37.880 on this at the Bowl, every single one of them is just world class 396 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:42.519 and at what all comes together. And there's still tickets available. There are 397 00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:45.720 some tickets available at Hollywood Ball dot com. And again, even if there's 398 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.240 only a few tickets available or which we don't know the number right now, 399 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.440 but even if there's not the seats in the front row available, every seat, 400 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:59.240 every seat OFFFIC good seat is amazing. And any special surprises plan, 401 00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:02.160 there are some special rises plan. One of them that's not not too much 402 00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:03.640 of a surprise that I can share is if you come a little bit early. 403 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.240 Yeah, there's a lot happening on the concourse at the Bowl that is 404 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:11.039 going to be very exciting for fans. We have concourse activations. We're actually 405 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:15.920 going to be showcasing a mini museum right over there, actually of the original 406 00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:21.880 costumes from the film that the actors wore. Yep. We'll have glenbots and 407 00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:23.880 photo ops, life sized doll boxes, all kinds of fun things you can 408 00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:29.559 do, really special exclusive merch and dolls to this show. And so you 409 00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.680 know, I recommend getting you a little bit early to experience the concourse at 410 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:34.519 barbieland before we go in for the show. Okay. And the showtime is 411 00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:38.599 at eight o'clock PM. The doors and concourse open at six pm. Okay. 412 00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:41.000 And to get tickets, where do they go? They go to Hollywood 413 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:45.400 Bowl dot com.

Here's what we're following. In the KFI twenty four hour news 421 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.200 from former President Trump is once again called President Biden the worst president in history, 422 00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:22.079 is comments at a rally in North Carolina a few hours before Biden spoke 423 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.839 from the Oval Office about his decision to not run for reelection. He claimed 424 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:33.519 the Democratic Party pushed Biden out, something he called undemocratic. Cybersecurity firm Crowd 425 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.359 strikes as it plans to improve software testing following the faulty software update that caused 426 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:42.000 a global outage affecting airlines, banks, hospitals, and other businesses last Friday. 427 00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:47.759 Delta finally has resolved its issues and is still catching up to get its 428 00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:52.400 passengers to their destinations. The NBA is rejected a one point eight billion dollar 429 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:57.160 per year offer from Warner Brothers to keep basketball on TNT and has instead signed 430 00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:02.119 its eleven year media rights d ill with Disney, NBC and Amazon Prime Video. 431 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:07.279 Warner Brothers says it'll fight it. We're just minutes away from a handle 432 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:09.119 on the news. This morning, President Biden explained to the nation why he's 433 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:15.960 not running for reelection without really explaining why. Let's say good morning to ABC's 434 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:21.559 Stephen Portnoy Steven. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nannaho delivered a speech to Senators and 435 00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:25.359 House members. What were some of the notable moments and how was he received? 436 00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.440 Well, he was warmly received. I mean like you had roughly half 437 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:34.039 of the House Democrats and a number of Senate Democrats who did not attend, 438 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:37.920 but those who were in the hall in the House Chamber gave Nityahu a standing 439 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:42.519 ovation. Throughout there were some lines where some Democrats sat on their hands while 440 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.359 Republicans left to their feet and applauded, but all the whole it was a 441 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:49.720 warm welcome. No disruptions, although Capitol police reported that a few people in 442 00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.519 the galleries were taken out, didn't up end the speech in any way. 443 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.880 The Israeli Prime Minister pointed up to the gallery where he brought with him multi 444 00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:02.640 ethnic heroes of the Israeli Defense Force, freed hostage families of hostages still being 445 00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:09.960 held by Hamas. He thanked American lawmakers for their support urged for American materiel 446 00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:15.480 to be more hastily sent to Israel. He vowed that he would not rest 447 00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:20.359 until all Israeli hostages are returned, until Israel achieves total victory. He said 448 00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:24.559 that Hamas monsters entered his country last October seventh. They raped women, they 449 00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:28.799 beheaded men, they burnt babies alive, he said. And he had a 450 00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:32.160 key message for Americans who have taken to the streets. He said these protesters 451 00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:37.319 should be ashamed of themselves. He called them Iran's useful idiots. And here's 452 00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:40.319 a memorable quote. He said, some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming 453 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:45.279 gaze for Gaza, they may as well hold up signs saying chickens for KFC. 454 00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:49.440 Well, Rashida Talib, the Democrat from Michigan, held up a sign 455 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:54.559 that read simply criminal. She attended the speech. A house floor staffer asked 456 00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:59.440 her to put the sign down, and she did. That's why I didn't 457 00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:02.279 see it again. I saw when she put it up, but I couldn't 458 00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:06.279 read it, and so I was looking for it for kind of the rest 459 00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:09.159 of the speech and didn't see it again. Well that's right, okay, 460 00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:15.719 pretty powerful speech and he seemed he was trying to fight back against the allegations 461 00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:21.400 of war crimes and that kind of thing. Did you do you think there 462 00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:24.559 was a receptive audience. Do you think he made any difference. Well, 463 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:30.119 I think in the House chamber certainly the people who were standing and applauding liked 464 00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:34.480 what they heard. Ultimately, he was blasting the International Criminal Court in this 465 00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:38.199 idea that there's any kind of equivalence between the way that he has prosecuted the 466 00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:44.599 war against Thomas and the way Hamas conducts itself. He said that if food 467 00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:47.000 is in not getting to Palestinians, it's not because Israelism providing, it's because 468 00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:51.559 this is Hamas is stealing it. Now, look, you have international aid 469 00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:57.920 workers who say that the picture is different, that there are unnecessary security hassles 470 00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:00.480 that have been put in place by the Israeli forces, that you know, 471 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:08.239 there aren't as many deliveries as the need would would call for, that you 472 00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:12.440 know, things along those lines, and that the people are looting because they're 473 00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:16.159 desperate. And you know Netna, who is trying to make the argument that 474 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:20.239 he's doing more than any than in America would do if it were in the 475 00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.519 same position. If you had an enemy right on our borders. So I 476 00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:28.000 think what's interesting is, as Netna, who was speaking, you had a 477 00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:37.119 large and times violent demonstration outside the capital with desecration of Columbus Circle here in 478 00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:38.519 Washington, d C. Which is just in front of Union Station, the 479 00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:44.480 main Amtrak station in town. And you had a replica of the Liberty Bell 480 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:52.360 desecrated, painting graffiti in favor of Hamas, Hamas is coming and Israel, 481 00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:57.159 some of the scrawls on the statue of Christopher Columbus, which the National Park 482 00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:00.840 Service has been working this morning to clean. Any of those people get arrested 483 00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:05.360 or is it just that it's a big crowd and they kind of go eh, 484 00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:07.119 I'm sure there were some arrests. I don't have those details. Okay. 485 00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:10.960 Who was not there? Stephen Well, a number of key lawmakers. 486 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:15.079 I mean, look, Nancy Pelosi skipped the speech, Alexandro Kazu Cortez skipped 487 00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:21.840 the speech. Patty Murray, the president pro temporary of the Senator who would 488 00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:24.360 otherwise be instead of the vice president, was not there. The vice president 489 00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:29.519 was not there. She was in Indianapolis yesterday speaking to a sorority group. 490 00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:35.440 JD Vance, the Ohio senator was also not fair the Republican vice presidential nominee. 491 00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:39.039 He also, interestingly enough, was in Indiana campaigning for the Trump Vance 492 00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:43.719 ticket. Okay, Stephen Portnoy, thank you so much, you bet. 493 00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:45.159 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 494 00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:51.519 hour newsroom. NORAD has intercepted four Russian and Chinese military planes off the coast 495 00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:57.920 of Alaska. ABC's Luis Martinez says the bombers did not enter US air space 496 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:00.719 yesterday because they were flying through an area that stretches one hundred and fifty miles 497 00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:05.559 from the coast of Alaska. Aircraft are required to identify themselves when they fly 498 00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:07.960 through that area, which triggers intercepts if they do not. It was the 499 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:14.920 first time Chinese military aircraft have been intercepted off Alaska.
