WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:05.799 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:13.960 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and kost in HD two Los Angeles and Orange 3 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:36.079 County, and you as Amy Kay. Good morning. It's five o'clock. 4 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.759 This is your wake up call for Monday, July eighth. I'm Amy King. 5 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.920 Thanks for getting your day started with us today. It's going to be 6 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.920 a good week. I can feel it. Maybe it's because I'm well rested 7 00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.799 after a week off. Got to spend the fourth of July and Oregon with 8 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.280 my mom. Her birthday was also last week. And I gotta tell you, 9 00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.000 fourth of July in Oregon is a lot quieter than here. I remember 10 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.680 being here a couple of years ago, and then I was listening to Mo 11 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.079 Kelly talking about how you know, it sounds like a war zone on the 12 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:19.920 fourth of July, and in Oregon it's just like, hey, Mom, 13 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:25.920 did you see that? We had a few fireworks going off, but nothing 14 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.159 compared to here. It was nice, quiet, great to visit, great 15 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.439 to be with my mom and got to see a bunch of friends. I 16 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.560 hope that if you took any time off over the Fourth of July you got 17 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.680 to have a similar relaxing time. I will tell you the one hitch in 18 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.400 my giddy up is that I broke my toe. So I'm going into a 19 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.920 room that I've been in five hundred thousand times during my life because my mom 20 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.920 has lived in the house where she is for well since I was like thirteen, 21 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.640 and she I got bug bites and I'm like, Mom, where's that 22 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.239 little stick that takes the itch away from the bugs? She goes, Oh, 23 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.599 it's in the medicine cabinet. It's right up there on the left hand 24 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.159 side. So I go jamming back into her room and crash right into a 25 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.560 chair that's sitting in her room. Broke my toe. Okay. Thanks to 26 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.439 Heather Brooker who filled in last week. Anne is off this week. Michelle 27 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.639 is with us. Kano of course is here. Nick is here with traffic. 28 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.599 We've got you covered, going to get your day started. So let's 29 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.599 get to it. Here's what's ahead on wake up call. At least four 30 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.639 House Democrats have reportedly called for President Biden to step aside. The call came 31 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:34.360 during a private call with Minority leader Hakim Jeffreys yesterday. Virginia Senator Mark Warner 32 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.120 said to be organizing a similar effort in the US Senate. We'll be talking 33 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.280 with ABC's Steve Roberts more about this coming up at the bottom of the hour. 34 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.159 A fire in Santa Barbara County's grown to nearly nineteen thousand acres and is 35 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.199 eight percent surrounded. Evacuation orders have been expanded as fire crews work to protect 36 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.159 the community of Woodstock, which is in the path of the fire. The 37 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.120 fire's burned within a mile of Michael Jackson's Old Neverland ranch in Los Alivos. 38 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.360 Palmdale hit one hundred and fourteen degrees. Lancaster hit one fifteen. The National 39 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.960 Weather Services temperatures could get even hotter by midweek, when the heat wave is 40 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:13.240 expected to peak, and Hurricane Barrel has made landfall in Texas at as a 41 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.400 Category one storm. ABC's Gym Rian's going to give us the latest from Texas 42 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.919 in less than five minutes at six o five. It's handle on the news. 43 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.879 Boeing is pleading guilty to fraud in the Max crashes to avoid a trial. 44 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.840 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 45 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.360 four hour newsroom. The National Weather Service says there won't be any relief from 46 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:35.919 the excessive heat, at least for the next few days. Forecasters stay temperatures 47 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.479 in southern California are expected to stay in the triple digits for most of the 48 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.520 week, which means there's a high risk of fires. Meteorologist Brian Adams says 49 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.879 the heat's being caused by a slow moving high pressure system. Now, when 50 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.800 we get these really strong areas of high pressure you may refer to them here, 51 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.879 that refer to as heat zone. When we get those, definitely really 52 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:55.439 furch to see some of those, you know, one hundred to one hundred 53 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:59.800 and five, even some areas approaching one hundred and ten in the Immann Empire. 54 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.240 Heays temperatures will probably be at their highest from Tuesday through Thursday. The 55 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:09.560 Laped says three kids kidnapped by their mother had been left with another family member. 56 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.000 Detectives at seventy seventh Division said they'd been looking for the three siblings after 57 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.600 it was reported their mother, Timberly White, had abducted them. Police say 58 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.959 she does not have custodial rights to the children. The kids, ages six, 59 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.680 twelve, and fourteen, were last seen Saturday morning in the two thousand 60 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.120 block of Florence Avenue in South LA. Police say on Sunday morning, the 61 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.759 kids were dropped off with a relative. Investigators say the mother is still wanted 62 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.120 for abducting the kids, though they say they're not sure where she took off 63 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:36.920 to. A local community activist says White plans to surrender to police. Steve 64 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:42.439 Gregory ka Fine News, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee is asking 65 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.759 for an interview with President Biden's doctor. ABC's Perry Russom says it comes less 66 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.399 than two weeks after the presidential debate that raised questions about Biden's mental acuity. 67 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:56.759 In a letter to President Biden's doctor, Republican Congressman James Comer writes the committee 68 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:01.519 is concerned doctor Kevin O'Connor's medical assessments have been influenced by ledged financial ties with 69 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.759 the Biden family. Biden's campaign and the White House have blamed his poor debate 70 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.680 performance on all of his foreign travel and a cold. They say he just 71 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.959 had a bad night. We're going to find more about the request and whether 72 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.079 it has any teeth with ABC. Stephen Portnoyd a little bit later this hour, 73 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.839 Let's say a good morning to Nick Poliochini, who's going to take a 74 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:25.160 first look at your morning commute with some slowing out in Moreno Valley on the 75 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:30.639 two fifteen. Good morning, Amy, Good to have you home again, 76 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:31.600 and it's going to be a busy one for folks that are making any north 77 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.600 on right now from before you Caalyptus passed them of the sixty heading toward uc 78 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.879 Are, definitely a rough go for your driver's thing.

Still going for your drive 91 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.800 on the two fifteen southbound, leaving the split with the fifteen, and seeing 92 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.560 those delays continuing as you make it way almost down toward Palm So then California 93 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.639 is only the airborne traffic reports. I'm Nick Poli o'keaney. Thank you, 94 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.879 Nick, it's five six on your wake up call. Let's say good morning 95 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.000 to ABC's Jim Ryan. Well, Jim, we're Bacon and Kelly. But 96 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.480 I'd much rather have this than what Texas is now dealing with. Yeah, 97 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:41.439 they're not baking around the Houston area right now. They're dealing with the winds 98 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.720 and the flooding, the possibility the heavy rain that Hurricane Barrel has brought. 99 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:50.040 He came ashore about three hours around Matagorda Bay and yeah, day eighty miles 100 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.639 per hour. It was a Category one hurricane. It'll weaken over the next 101 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:59.120 couple of hours and then move to the north and east eventually by Thursday. 102 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.319 They'll be feel some of the rain from this all the way up in Michigan, 103 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:08.519 Michigan. Yeah, this storm has some legs. Now. This storm 104 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:13.360 started a couple seems like weeks ago, right about till Yeah, a little 105 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.319 over a week ago. Was born off the coast of Africa and kind of 106 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:21.800 wandered around out there. But it exploded into a Category five storm within just 107 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.000 a period of twenty four to thirty six hours or so. That makes it 108 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:32.040 the earliest category five storm in the calendar ever. So it's very unusual. 109 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.160 I mean, we have storms like this, tropical storms and hurricanes in early 110 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:42.439 July, but for this one to blast up into category five status in June, 111 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.160 late June, that was the earliest that's ever happened. Didn't we have 112 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.000 one last year, Jim, or maybe it was a year before that. 113 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.720 It was just a storm kind of churning and all of a sudden, it 114 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:56.560 too exploded, but it hit Mexico kind of. It was like a surprise 115 00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.879 attack exactly. And we've seen that happen and these storms and climatologists have warned 116 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.240 about this that we're going to see more powerful and faster growing storms as these 117 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.680 warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico, and is the climate continues to change 118 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:16.399 for whatever reason. Okay, and we're getting word that about a million people 119 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.399 are without power now as they're just getting updates because the storm has now made 120 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.879 landfall. What other things are they expecting. I'm obviously rain and winds, 121 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.279 but do we know how much? Yeah, Well, and flooding is going 122 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.440 to be a real possibility. They're seeing some of that now around the Houston 123 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.320 area. A lot of flooding happening there. Tornadoes again are being spun off 124 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.639 by this tornado warnings that have happened. We don't have any reports of damage 125 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.039 or injuries from that, but there are a lot of side effects that come 126 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.039 from a storm like this the last well beyond the storm itself, and certainly 127 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.679 we're going to see that in Texas. It just reminds me of the movie 128 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.600 that's coming out, Twisters, in like two weeks. I think it's July 129 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.519 nineteenth that it comes out, and it was watching a trailer for it last 130 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.559 night, going, we don't need a movie about this. We've seen more 131 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.799 Twisters this year, and we've seen it so in such a long time. 132 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.000 I don't think I want to go into the theaters to watch it. But 133 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:13.559 that's just me so barrel, barrel, Barrel, it's such a weird name. 134 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:18.279 So it's going to go down to probably a tropical storm, tropical depression, 135 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.919 but it's still expected to dump a ton of rain as it makes its 136 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.840 way through the midsection or is it also not expected to do much after it 137 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.879 leaves Texas? Well? No, it's still going to have some effect. 138 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.720 You know, how much effect is really hard to say, but yeah, 139 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.360 and it's a fairly tight storm. It's not really spread out very far, 140 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.080 and it's moving fairly quickly. Twelve can ask you about that. Yeah, 141 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.320 and so as it moves across. But I'm just surprised that the track is 142 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.200 that this thing is going to take for the next several days as it goes 143 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.799 up through Arkansas and then I've been into the Ohio Valley and the expectation from 144 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.240 the National Hurricane Center showing that it'll be a subtropical depression by the time it 145 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.960 reaches Michigan. But yeah, they will still feel some effect from this, 146 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.440 you know what, a thousand miles away in Michigan, Okay, and you're 147 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.600 in Dallas, are you guys getting rained to It's raining here a little bit, 148 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.159 and that's maybe some effect from that from the far outer bands of this, 149 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.440 or some ripple effect from Beryl, and we'll see some of that, 150 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.320 but main leads to the east. If here the southeast and east Texas that 151 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.840 will see the biggest impact from this. Okay, And with a very active 152 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:31.440 hurricane season expected by forecasters, any other storms brewing right now that we know 153 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:37.360 of, not right now, and looking at the National Hurricane Center map of 154 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.519 the whole hemisphere, Beryl is the only thing out there, which is a 155 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.480 little surprising because sometimes you see two or three little areas of concern or disturbances 156 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.919 out there. Right now, Beryl is it? Well, that's good news. 157 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.200 Yeah, all right, Jim Ryan, thank you so much for your 158 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.320 time and information. Stay dry all see you. Let's get back. Let's 159 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.799 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 160 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.759 new Room. Nearly six dozen teenagers have been detained and cited in connection with 161 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.320 what deputies have called a major disturbance at am All in Carson, Eli. 162 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.519 Kounty Sheriff's deputies were called to the South Bay Pavilion on Saturday evening, where 163 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:18.360 about two hundred teenagers had gathered. Officials say some set off illegal fireworks inside 164 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.279 a store at the mall, and someone else started a fire inside in a 165 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.960 trash can. Backup was called when the crowd failed to disperse. Some parents 166 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:31.720 and relatives of the kids say law enforcement had an excessive presence. The mayor 167 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.639 put out a statement yesterday commending the Sheriff's Department for their quick action. The 168 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:41.039 Justice Department says Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge tied 169 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:46.600 to two deadly seven thirty seven MAX crashes. ABC's Andrew Dimbert says the company 170 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.200 would also pay two hundred and forty four million dollars in fines as part of 171 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.000 a deal, which still needs to be approved by a judge. Boeing is 172 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.919 accused of misleading regulators. Relatives of those killed in the twenty eighteen and twenty 173 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.879 nineteen crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia are asking a judge to reject the plea deal. 174 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.480 Federal prosecutors said in May that Boeing violated a twenty twenty one settlement that 175 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:13.080 shield it from prosecution. Officials in Ukraine say Russian missiles have hit a children's 176 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.759 hospital in Kiev and killed at least three people in other parts of the country's 177 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.480 capital. They say. Another attack today in central Ukraine killed at least ten. 178 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.440 Ukrainian President Zelensky says Russia targeted five cities with more than forty different types 179 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:33.399 of missiles. Chapman University students have partnered with the Irvine Ranch Conservancy for a 180 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:39.279 climate change research projects. Gold Chapman University Associate Professor Gregory Goldsmith says is to 181 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:46.159 strengthen conservation efforts to understand what native plant species are most likely to be resilient 182 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:54.320 to increasing temperatures in order to help us better manage and restore the native ecosystems 183 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.080 in our backyards. Students measured twelve different plant species to determine the thermal tolerance 184 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:03.159 of their leaves. The results will be presented at a national ecological conference in 185 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:09.039 August in Irvine. Corbin Carson KFI News Riverside Congressman Mark Takano is one of 186 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.720 four senior Democrats calling for President Biden to withdraw from the twenty twenty four presidential 187 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:20.879 campaign. Takano joined New York Representative Jerry Nadler, Washington's Adam Smith, and 188 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.840 New York's Joseph Morrell and calling for Biden a step aside. It happened during 189 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.879 a meeting with Minority leader Hakim Jeffries yesterday. A heat wave continues to grip 190 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.720 the Western United States, temperatures at one hundred and nineteen in Reading. Yesterday. 191 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.440 Phoenix had a record high of or actually a record high low of ninety 192 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.200 two degrees, only got down to ninety two overnight. It was one hundred 193 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.200 and eighteen for a high in Las Vegas, Portland, San Diego, Boise, 194 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.720 Idaho, and other cities are still under excessive heat warnings. At least 195 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.200 six people have been injured in the first day of the Running of the Bulls 196 00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.240 in Pamplona. One of the people hurt is a fifty four year old from 197 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.679 New York. A man from Spain was gored by a bull. I do 198 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.759 not understand what drives people to do that. At six oh five is handled 199 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.480 on the news. A few dozen teens were detained after letting out fireworks inside 200 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.720 them All and Carson over the weekend. Let's say good morning now to ABC's 201 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.759 Jordana Miller. Good morning, Jordana. We've talked about this so many times 202 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:26.000 before, but today there may actually be new hope for a ceasefire, God 203 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.240 willing, as we say, I know, every time we discuss the ceasefire 204 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:35.360 we say that, But now it appears it appears there's some new hope because 205 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:43.240 Hamas has said that they have dropped their demand for a declaration to an you 206 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.279 know that the war will definitively end. They wanted Israel to say that in 207 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.799 the beginning of this deal, before even the hostages were released, and now 208 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.840 they're backing off of that and dropping that. That doesn't mean they don't want 209 00:14:54.879 --> 00:15:00.039 an end to the war. They do, but they're not asking for a 210 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:05.840 promise in the beginning. And so now as their meeting today, well already 211 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.799 is real sensive delegation on today and the team reported back you know, with 212 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.759 describing it as a positive meeting. Today, these Reelis have sent another delegation 213 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:22.399 to Cairo to talk with Egyptian officials. Remember, there are lots of issues 214 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.480 that the Egyptians are you know, they have a border with Gaza, so 215 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.399 control in a you know, after a seafire over the eight mile border between 216 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.639 Egypt and gaza's critical. It includes the roper border crossing. All of that 217 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:41.759 controlled right now by the Israeli Army and both stocks are supposed to set the 218 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:48.480 stage for larger wider talks on Wednesday in Doha, and the CIA chief Bill 219 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.960 Burns is expected to be part of those talks with also Qutar officials. There's 220 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:58.399 a lot of momentum and discussions. There's still a lot of details that have 221 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.759 to be hitted out, the timeline of the Israeli army's redeployment, who Israel 222 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:10.960 is from its Palestinian jails in order to get out the hostages. You know, 223 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:17.600 the big question is really is Hamas's leader, Israel's leader, finally ready 224 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:23.000 to down their arms and stop this war? You know, it's still on 225 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.360 the answer to that question is still unclear, even though we have a renewed 226 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:33.080 interest in the discussions themselves, negotiations. For example, last night, the 227 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.559 Israeli Prime Minister put out a list of demands that Israel has and some of 228 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:42.600 them are new demands that Hamas has good in the past. So many people 229 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:47.919 asking what exactly is Nataniel doing by putting this on the table, and by 230 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.120 the way, by doing it publicly. Is this another way to try to 231 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.960 create favor with his base, with his far right partners. Remember, there 232 00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:00.159 is a conflict of interest here for nataniel If this ceasefire goes through, it's 233 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.759 likely the far right elements of his government will pull out of the government and 234 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:08.599 Antoniell's government will fall. And even if some of the opposition parties save him 235 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:12.799 for the sake of a ceasfire deal, they will quickly turn their backs and 236 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:18.519 put through a no confidence vote. So a seafire also means that Antonielle is 237 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.359 likely out of power. So that is one of the problems with Natanielle's leadership 238 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.640 in this war. Many people, you know, just don't trust him. 239 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:29.799 So we're going to have to wait and see, even though it looks like 240 00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:34.160 we have you know, renewed and robust talks right now. Okay and Jordana, 241 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:41.880 are there any indications of why Hamas might have dropped that one demand about 242 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:48.400 promising that all operations would cease it. Is it because they maybe feel like 243 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.920 they're losing ground so they really need to stop it, or do we have 244 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:59.839 any indications on that. Well, I think that's a really good question. 245 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:04.599 And you know, there's some new reporting from the Associated Press today from intercepted 246 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:14.240 messages between Hama's leaders that suggest Israel's raugh operation and the destruction there, and 247 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:22.680 really Israel's easy access to areas where Hamas has regrouped has made the leadership there 248 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.640 think that you know, there the skills have tipped in Israel's favor on the 249 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:33.920 battlefield. Remember, Israel now controls all the border into the Gods of Strips. 250 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:40.039 That means there's no entry as long as you are there, there's no 251 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:45.160 way for Hamas to bring in arms and regroup and rebuild. Right. So 252 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.920 for Israel it was and we you know, we said this despite the controversy 253 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.200 of the raf operation and the concern for there, and thank god, in 254 00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.960 the end there were not thousands and thousands of things killed in the rough operation, 255 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:04.359 right, They did evacuate and most of them safely. There were hundreds 256 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:08.480 killed, but it did not fit the fear that the White House had. 257 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:15.000 Israel always said it was a strategic interest to take the eight mile Gaza border 258 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:21.240 between Egypt and Gaza because that's where all the arms came in. That allowed 259 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:26.000 Hamas to build up its military capability. So it may be that Hamas realized, 260 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:26.880 you know, what are we going to do? They're going to in 261 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:32.839 the sense starve us out in a war. Now it's clear that on the 262 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:38.279 battlefield, I do think Hamas is now at a disadvantage and that may have 263 00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:45.880 contributed to their their position softening their position. Yeah. Interesting because of just 264 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:51.160 a couple of weeks ago when we were talking about seeing communications between Hamas leaders 265 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.400 saying hey, we've got Israel right where we want them, that it might 266 00:19:53.480 --> 00:20:00.880 have turned around that quickly, right, right, rather quickly exactly. I 267 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.720 mean in this sense, we have to say that Natanielle, though he spins 268 00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.559 a lot and sometimes he's wrong and sometimes he's lying right, it's our job 269 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.960 to kind of figure out when in this case he turned out to be right. 270 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.400 On the rough operation. It was a key turning point in the war 271 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.880 and it was a key strategic interest and Israel in the end did need to 272 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:29.920 go to Rafa. And we will be watching for talks later this week in 273 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.319 Doha and hope that they can come up with a will. All right, 274 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:36.319 Jordana Miller in Jerusalem, Thank you so much for your time and information. 275 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.160 Okay, texting, take care. An alleged hit and run driver and garden 276 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.480 Groves crashed into two adults on bicycles and three children being pulled in bike trailers. 277 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.519 One adult and two kids were in critical condition yesterday. The cyclists were 278 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.519 riding on Hester Street at Twin Tree Lane when they were hit. The driver 279 00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:56.880 took off, but a witness followed the guy until police could catch up too 280 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:00.640 and arrest him. Three men charged with the murder of a woman in Newport 281 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.480 Beach during an attempted robbery at Fashion Island or Doing Court. The woman from 282 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.880 New Zealand was hit by the alleged robbers car last week as they tried to 283 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.200 leave them all they led police on a chase into La County, where they 284 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:17.400 were arrested. The men were charged Friday with murder, including a special circumstance 285 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:22.119 allegation of murder during the commission of a robbery and a sentencing enhancement of killing 286 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.359 a person over sixty five. The Orange County DA's office will decide later whether 287 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.519 to ask for the death penalty. California Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff says President Biden 288 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.480 and former President Trump should both take cognitive tests. I think, frankly a 289 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:41.039 test would show Donald Trump as serious illness of one kind or another. Schiff 290 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:44.599 is defended President Biden and says the choice is up to him whether to drop 291 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.720 out of the presidential race. Shift told NBCs Meet the Press, President Biden's 292 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.640 debate performance rightfully raised questions among Americans as to whether he has the vigor to 293 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:59.000 defeat Trump in November. This summer's political conventions in Milwaukee and in Chicago are 294 00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:03.960 expected to draw both protests and security threats. The Secret Service will be supervising 295 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:08.559 security for both conventions. The Secret Service agent overseeing security for the Democratic National 296 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.680 Convention says, it's serious stuff. We're not only here to ensure the safety 297 00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.559 of the attendees of the convention, but there's almost two point seven million residents 298 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.960 of the city of Chicago that live and work here every day. Police in 299 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.240 Chicago say they plan to put hundreds of officers on bicycles for crowd control. 300 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:32.400 Entrepreneurs in California have been invited to pitch their product to Walmart and Sam's Club. 301 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:36.839 Walmart is accepting applications for its eleventh annual Open Call event for small business 302 00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:41.200 owners and entrepreneurs across the country.

The company has provided thousands of business owners 305 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:53.400 the chance to become a Walmart supplier since twenty fourteen. Entrepreneurs who get a 306 00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:57.160 Golden Ticket will get to sit down with Walmart and or Sam's Club merchants. 307 00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:03.759 Applications are open until July fifteenth.

Despicable Me four took in a whole lot 319 00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:57.000 of money over the holiday weekend. It was estimated at like one hundred and 320 00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:00.720 twenty three. Now it's up to one hundred and forty eight million dollars for 321 00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:03.240 the holiday weekend. Inside Out two, in its third week of release, 322 00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.039 finished in second place with thirty million dollars. It's not doing too shabby either, 323 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.799 A quiet place. Day one was third at six so five A tenel 324 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.640 on the news, the high temperatures turned deadly in Death Valley over the weekend. 325 00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:18.839 At five point fifty, We're going to be talking with ABC Stephen Portnoy 326 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.720 about why some Republican lawmakers want to talk with or get notes from President Biden's 327 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:29.559 doctor. But speaking of President Biden, let's say good morning to ABC's Steve 328 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.799 Roberts. Steve, President Biden is under even more scrutiny from members of his 329 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.720 own party, who are suddenly aware that the president may be having some cognitive 330 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:42.200 difficulties. What's the latest, Yeah, it's not all that sudden. I 331 00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:48.440 mean, the doubts have been growing, and they think there are four reasons 332 00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.240 why Democrats are increasingly calling for Biden to step aside. One is not just 333 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.839 as they doubt that he can win, but they doubt that they can win 334 00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.960 either. I mean, there are marginal Democrats, and this includes several Keys 335 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:06.160 is right there in California where Democrats are worried that if Biden stays at the 336 00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:10.119 top of the ticket, he's going to drag down these Democrats and that they're 337 00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:12.160 going to lose the House as well as the White House. Secondly, I 338 00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:17.240 think that there's growing feeling even if Biden would have win, is he really 339 00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:22.640 capable of governing for four years given the feebleness we saw on display during the 340 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.799 debate. But there's a third factor here. Since last week, I think 341 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.720 there's a growing number of Democrats who feel deceived, who feel that the White 342 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.839 House was not straight with them, That the White House, Biden, his 343 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:41.000 family, his coret inner group of advisers had to have known that the man 344 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:47.119 they put out there in that debate was in decline and had to know that 345 00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:52.279 he was increasingly feeble. And they feel deceived. And it was Biden himself 346 00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.279 Amy who said this election was critically important. Biden himself has said democracy is 347 00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.279 on the ballot and there they go, hiding from their own party, let 348 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:06.039 alone the voters, who he really is. Yeah. What was interesting to 349 00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:07.759 me, Steve, is that, you know, Biden came out and said, 350 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:10.720 Hey, I want to do this debate, debate, and I want 351 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:14.000 to do it early. And you're like, okay, go, But if 352 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:21.240 he is aware and his team is aware that there are issues, why push 353 00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:26.160 for that so hard, so early. It's a very good question. And 354 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:29.640 that's one of the questions a lot of Democrats, a growing number of Democrats 355 00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:36.319 are asking. You know, the whole Biden's strategy was, let's remind people 356 00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:44.960 of who Donald Trump is. Let's make sure people are remember all the things 357 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.480 they didn't like about Donald Trump's presidency, all the chaos, all the craziness. 358 00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:56.440 So they taunted Trump into this debate on the theory that the more people 359 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:02.640 saw Trump, the better off they would be. But the net result is 360 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:07.559 that their strategy was turned completely on its head and instead of the debate focusing 361 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:12.079 attention on Trump, which is what their goal was, the debate focused attention 362 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:18.039 on Biden, and it had exactly exactly the opposite effect of what they intended. 363 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.240 Yeah, okay, and you're saying that this week. This week is 364 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.599 really critical for Biden to get out there show that he is up to task. 365 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:32.200 What's he What's he got on the agenda for this week. Well, 366 00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:37.759 he's got a lot of critical moments. He's got the summit meeting with European 367 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.440 leaders, he's got he's promised to do a press conference, he's got a 368 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.599 number of campaign events. Honestly, Amy, I just don't think it's possible 369 00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:52.200 for him to reverse this slide. People can't unsee what they saw in the 370 00:27:52.359 --> 00:28:00.359 debate, and I just think the call for his removal is going to is 371 00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.720 going to increase. But that doesn't mean he's necessarily going to step aside, 372 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:08.119 because let's you remember, this is an extremely proud and stubborn man who his 373 00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:12.559 whole life, over a fifty year career in the Senate, his whole goal 374 00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:17.440 has been to be president. This is not a man who's going to leave 375 00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:21.559 easily. And it's also a man who believes his own mythology. He believes 376 00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:26.039 that he has an extra degree of resilience and tenacity. He's a man who's 377 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:33.079 bounced back from political and personal setbacks, and he believes in himself totally. 378 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.240 You don't get to be president without having that incredible strong sense of yourself. 379 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.440 So he's not going to leave easily. I'll tell you that. Yeah, 380 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.240 and he told you're calling. George. Stefanopolosaid, I watched that interview, 381 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:52.039 and I will tell you that interview did not I don't know he's the fears 382 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:57.200 or the worries. I think he came across as very I don't know hesitant. 383 00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:02.160 Has listened to me being hesitant now, but I'm also not the ruler 384 00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:03.880 of the free world. But you know, I mean it didn't help. 385 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.920 I don't think I think that he thought if he goes and does the interview 386 00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.599 with Stephanopoulos, it's going to help him. But I don't think it repaired 387 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.119 that the damage that was done at all. That's my opinion. I don't 388 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:19.240 think so either. I don't think so either, and partly because he was 389 00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:22.920 also clearly in denial. Just take one example, he said during that interview, 390 00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:26.279 the election is a toss up. It's not a toss up. New 391 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.799 York Times has comp ahead by six points. It's not a toss up. 392 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.640 All right, ABC, Steve Roberts, thank you so much for the information. 393 00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:36.480 Of course, we will be watching anytime. Amy all right, take 394 00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:38.119 care. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 395 00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:42.440 twenty four hour newsroom. A wildfire in Santa Barbara County has burned nearly nineteen 396 00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:47.160 thousand acres in just a couple of days. Evacuation orders have been issued for 397 00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:52.759 an area that includes Michael Jackson's Neverland Branch in Los Alevos. The fire was 398 00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:56.720 reported Friday afternoon. It's only eight percent surrounded. About a thousand firefighters are 399 00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.799 working to put it out. A wildf fire near Litele Creek in the San 400 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:07.119 Bernardino National Forest Service Area has led to evacuation orders for the Mount Baldy Ski 401 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:11.519 Resort, and parts of the Pacific Crest Trail are now closed from Lytle Creek 402 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.440 to Mount Baldy, along with additional trails below Mount Baldy. The fire started 403 00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:19.119 yesterday morning. It's burned about one hundred acres in steep terrain. Fire officials 404 00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:23.079 say there are no evacuation orders or warnings for the community of Mount Baldy, 405 00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:27.240 which is about five miles south of the resort. Death Valley could record the 406 00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:32.599 highest record temperature on Earth before this heat wave is over. It was one 407 00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:36.240 hundred and twenty eight on Saturday. Forecasters say it could hit one hundred and 408 00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:38.400 thirty in Death Valley in the next few days. If that happens, it 409 00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:44.640 would reportedly set the record for the hottest temperature ever reliably measured on Earth. 410 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.440 Olympic flags are headed to La City Hall, but some things need to be 411 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.200 moved first. The city Council voted to allocate half a million dollars to move 412 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.880 a display from the Mayor's office to the La Convention Center. Gifts to the 413 00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:57.720 city have long been on display and the mayors suite on the third floor of 414 00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:02.880 City Hall. They'll make way for flags celebrating the twenty twenty eight Olympic Games 415 00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:06.640 coming here in four years. Mayor Bass is expected to attend the twenty twenty 416 00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:10.240 four Games in Paris, where Olympic flags will be presented to her and the 417 00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:12.839 city of La. Those flags will fly near her office and eventually in the 418 00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:18.480 city Council chambers in downtown La. Michael Monks KFI News a couple of weeks 419 00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.200 ago, if you were listening to Wake Up Call, that you know that 420 00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.759 I got to talk to Curtis Stone, who is the co founder of Gwen 421 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:32.200 Restaurant and was recently named one of the best places in the whole wide world 422 00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:36.079 to get a steak. And I got to go and talk to Curtis and 423 00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:40.799 he cooked a steak for me and it was phenomenal. But so over the 424 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.599 holiday, I got together with my family and my little baby brother who's much 425 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.480 bigger than me. My little baby brother was going to cook the steaks over 426 00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.200 at mom's house, and so I said, if you're going to cook steaks, 427 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.039 you have to watch this video that I did with Curtis Stone first, 428 00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:57.720 because he's going to tell you how to cook the states. He had some 429 00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:04.279 really interest seeing little tips and tricks in there, and you know what, 430 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:07.559 it paid off like it was the best steak my brother has ever cooked. 431 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:12.720 So if you want to get some great tips on how to make a fabulous 432 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.319 steak, even if you're cooking at your home, if you're not at Gwen 433 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.519 Restaurant, go to at amy K King. And of course I invite you 434 00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:24.079 to follow me on Instagram, but it's at amy K King, so Amykayking, 435 00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:30.279 and it's Curtis Stone and he was delightful and the steak was delicious. 436 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:35.200 Two deputies have been hurt in a crash during a police chase. The deputies 437 00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:38.680 were chasing suspected street racers in Long Beach early yesterday morning when their patrol car 438 00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:42.839 crashed into a tree. One of the deputies had to be cut out of 439 00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.920 the wreckage. Both were taken to the hospital. One has been released. 440 00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:50.400 Amul In Carson had to close Saturday night after hundreds of teens gathered and caused 441 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:52.359 a bit of a ruckus. Police say a trash can was lit on fire. 442 00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:58.319 Illegal fireworks were set off inside the South Bay Pavilion Mall. Dozens of 443 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:05.400 teens were detained after they refuse to comply with dispersal orders. John Sena Sena 444 00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:08.000 is it Sana or Asena? That's a Sena, That's a Sena. John 445 00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:14.519 Cena is retiring from the WWE. The sixteen time world champion wrestler, made 446 00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:20.440 the surprise announcement Saturday at the WWE event in Toronto. The wrestler turned actors 447 00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:23.559 been appearing in more comedy and action films, including Hulu's hit show The Bear. 448 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:28.759 I just saw him on it like last Weekend. Sa Sena says he'll 449 00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:31.880 still be involved with wrestling when Monday Night Raw moves to Netflix in January. 450 00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:37.440 Let's say Good morning now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, the fallout from 451 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:45.559 the debate continues in Biden's own party. Let's get started. Oh what, 452 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:46.599 That's not what I'm going to talk to you about. I just talked to 453 00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:52.039 somebody else about that. Now we're going to talk about from the Republicans. 454 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:59.279 But they are also calling for some things to happen after Biden's debate performance. 455 00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:02.160 Yeah, I mean, look, and Republicans are trying to get a little 456 00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:05.519 piece of this. I think that it's a bit of a gambit on their 457 00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:07.440 part. They want to hear from the president's physician, doctor Kevin O'Connor. 458 00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:12.079 They want to bring him in for for an interview with part of the predicate 459 00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:15.800 for it is in their investigation of the president's family business. James Biden, 460 00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:22.239 the president's brother, invoked doctor Kevin O'Connor because he sought some strategic advice in 461 00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.760 a business plan having to do with a hospital company back in twenty eighteen. 462 00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:30.239 And whether doctor O'Connor recommended something or other, whether he was part of the 463 00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:34.000 business plan, I don't know. And that's what Republicans want to get up. 464 00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:37.159 But they also want to ask questions about the president's neurological condition. I'd 465 00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:39.960 be very surprised if the White House permits the president's doctor to go up to 466 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.159 Capitol Hill to take questions from the opposing party, which is why I call 467 00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.360 it a little bit of a gambit on Republican's part. Yeah, I mean, 468 00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:52.519 do they have subpoena power over a over the president's doctor. They can 469 00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:58.920 issue a subpoena. The President would likely invoke executive privilege to block the enforcement 470 00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:00.920 of that subpoena. And it's we're in the same logjam that we've been in 471 00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:05.519 with every other attempt by the House Republicans to try to get a senior administration 472 00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:09.079 official to come and I don't see it resolving here. But we can widen 473 00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:13.440 out and talk about the Democrats because I think that's really the driving force of 474 00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:16.079 the news this week as the President meets with the NATO allies as a news 475 00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:21.800 conference on Thursday, more House Democrats. Maybe we'll see some senators too. 476 00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.840 So far, none have come forward to say that the President should remove himself 477 00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:29.119 from the top of the ticket. Right, And we were talking with Steve 478 00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:32.800 Roberts a little bit ago about some of the issues that are coming up and 479 00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:39.119 that includes there was that phone call yesterday with Hakeem Jeffries and some key Democrats 480 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:44.679 and apparently and one of them's from California that are saying, you know what, 481 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:47.000 it's time for Biden to go. Well, that's right. The four 482 00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:52.719 Democrats who are the leaders of their party on key committees include Jerry Nadler from 483 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:58.440 the Judiciary Committee, Adam Smith of Armed Services, You've got Mark Decano, 484 00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:05.039 and Joe Morell, joining five other Democrats who publicly said that the president should 485 00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:07.719 remove himself from the top of the ticket. Now, look, that's less 486 00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.880 than ten all told. Of more than two hundred Democrats in the House, 487 00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.800 and many are publicly expressing their support for the president. Yesterday, he was 488 00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:21.440 in Philadelphia saying that he's in it and sticking in it, and he attended 489 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:25.199 a church and the pastor said that everyone should essentially should get behind Joe Biden, 490 00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:31.519 because you know, people in their nineties are just as sharp. The 491 00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:36.639 President of the United States has all eyes on him, and this week he'll 492 00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.119 have the NATO leaders here. He'll have a news conference on Thursday, the 493 00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:45.440 key opportunity for everyone to watch the president stand for questions and we'll see how 494 00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:50.760 it all plays out, and so far him being in the spotlight following the 495 00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:57.719 debate hasn't been that great of a showing. Like I watched the interview with 496 00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:01.320 George Stefanopolois as we were talking about earlier, and it wasn't great. I 497 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:07.880 mean, he said he had congenital little defects, and I'm one to say 498 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:09.480 that I stumble all over myself. But I'm also not the leader of the 499 00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:14.199 free world right and if you were, you'd be held to a higher standard 500 00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:16.719 and I probably would be impeached immediately. Well, look, the key question 501 00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:22.599 for voters is you know it's binary at the moment, and that's what Democrats 502 00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:25.280 are worried about. The answer the President gave to the final question that George 503 00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:30.880 Dephanopolis asked. He's been ringing in Democrats' ears all weekend. Well, if 504 00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:32.800 you stay in the race and Trump was elected and everything you've warned about democracy 505 00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:37.559 comes to pass, how will you feel, mister president George asked. The 506 00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:39.199 President said, I'll feel as long as I gave it my all and did 507 00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:42.559 a good job as I know how to do. That's what this is about. 508 00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:46.039 Well, the Democrats, that's not what this is about. It's not 509 00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:50.639 about how good a job the president did and whether he gave it as all. 510 00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:55.159 It's about beating Donald Trump and preventing all the things they worry about from 511 00:37:55.280 --> 00:38:00.039 coming to pass. And that disconnect there, if there is a disconnect, 512 00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:06.239 is what is I think prompting some Democrats who had been reticent to speak out 513 00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:08.679 to come forward because they're hearing about it from their own constituents too. Now. 514 00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:12.679 The White House and the campaign might say it's all a media invention, 515 00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:16.119 I think a lot of voters hear that and they think, no, it's 516 00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:21.159 a agree, it's not a cheap well right, it's and it's the idea 517 00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.079 that it's just a whole bunch of thought leaders here in Washington, d C. 518 00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:28.320 Trying to score some points and get us, you know, get a 519 00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:31.360 scalp. Right. Yeah. But to voters out there who are really truly 520 00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:36.199 weighing it, they wonder whether this man really has what it takes to be 521 00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:38.440 president the United States and whether he's proven to the country. But he is 522 00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:43.199 the right guy. If there is another outcome that can be pursued, and 523 00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:45.360 we will be watching to see what happens. Thank you, Stephen Portnoy, 524 00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:49.480 appreciate all the information. YEA, all right, take care. Let's get 525 00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:52.519 back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 526 00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:57.119 The LAPD says three kids abducted by their mother on Saturday morning have been 527 00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:00.199 safely returned to a relative in South la. The kids are six, twelve, 528 00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:04.000 and fourteen. Police say the mother, Timberly White, does not have 529 00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:07.039 custody of the children. The kids were dropped off yesterday morning, and White 530 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:12.440 is still wanted by police. A local community activist says White is planning to 531 00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:16.880 surrender to police. Hurricane Beryl has made landfall in Texas. Coming off the 532 00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:22.199 Yuca ten Peninsula. Tropical storm Barrel began to gather power from the warm waters 533 00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:24.480 of the Gulf of Mexico, so that when it finally made landfall this morning 534 00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:29.280 near Matagorda Bay, Texas, it was a Category one hurricane with winds of 535 00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:34.159 eighty miles per hour. ABC's Jim Ryan says Beryl is moving northeast and is 536 00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:38.360 expected to dump rain on at least ten states through Thursday. Israel is defending 537 00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:43.280 its actions in the city of Rafa in southern Gaza, which is in ruins. 538 00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:46.039 ABC's Matt Gutman says Israeli defense forces have been trying to root out Hamas 539 00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:50.719 fighters there for more than two months now. The scale of the destruction here 540 00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:54.480 and what used to be the street is absolutely breathtaking. Every single house is 541 00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:58.920 destroyed. All that you see is a little alley way carved in the rubble. 542 00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:02.280 All that's left this twisted rebar, concrete and household goods. He says 543 00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:07.559 an estimated one point three million Palestinians have been forced to leave Southern cousin. 544 00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:10.920 Closing arguments are set to begin this morning in the federal bribery trial of New 545 00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:17.079 Jersey Democratic sener Senator Bob Menendez. ABC's Lindsay Tuckman says Menendez has said he 546 00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:22.679 expects the jury to find him not guilty. He expects his attorneys will produce 547 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:27.840 a powerful and convincing summation and at the prosecution he believes has failed to prove 548 00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:31.599 every aspect of this case beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutor sa Menendez and his 549 00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:37.280 wife accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from three businessmen in exchange for 550 00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:42.360 Menendez using his position to benefit Egypt's government. Okay, did you see that 551 00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:47.360 Danny Trejo got into a fight at the Sunland Tahunga Fourth of July parade. 552 00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.559 This guy, he just cracks me up. I mean, and I don't 553 00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:55.000 think this is probably a laughing matter. But he's now speaking out about what 554 00:40:55.239 --> 00:41:00.079 happened. So he got into a fight with someone in the crowd after someone 555 00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:04.320 threw a water balloon at the car he was riding in. It was a 556 00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:09.679 classic car, so trey Hoo has told KTTV that someone yelled that the balloon 557 00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:13.840 was filled with acids, so that could have been really bad. Right then, 558 00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:16.559 he said he was hit with another balloon, which prompted him to confront 559 00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:22.599 the guy who threw it. Trey Ho, who's eighty years old, stumbled 560 00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:25.199 off a curb fell into the street during the fight. He wasn't seriously hurt, 561 00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:30.559 but a friend of his was ended up bloodied and bruised. But apparently 562 00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:37.119 everybody's going to be okay, but Danny Treyho getting into some action. Can't 563 00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:39.440 we all just get along. I'm glad he's okay, and I'm glad that 564 00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:45.039 there was an acid in the balloon. This is KFI and kost HD two 565 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:50.199 Los Angeles, Orange County.
