You're listening to a wake up call on demand from kf I AM six forty
KFI and kost HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time for
your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. This is your wake up
call for Thursday, September seventh, Lucky Number seventh. I'm Amy King.
Good morning. Thanks for waking up with us this morning. Here's what's ahead
on wake up call. A forty eight year old former Orange County girls basketball
coach has been sentenced to one hundred and fifty years to life in prison for
sexually assaulting six of his players over a span of several years. Carlos Warez
coached for club basketball teams as well as at Major Day Aliso, Niguel,
Tustin, and Costa Mesa High schools. Federal prosecutors planned to indict Hunter Biden
by September twenty ninth on gun charges. The President's son had a plea agreement
that would have kept him out of jail, but that fell apart in July.
The Dodgers Julio Urius has been benched by Major League Baseball after he was
arrested on domestic abuse charges. He faced similar allegations in twenty nineteen. That
case ended with deferred prosecution and domestic violence counseling. Let's get started with some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Air pollution
experts have testified people are suffering from bloody noses, nausea, and asthma attacks
in recent months, tied to a foul smell coming from a landfill in Castaic.
At a meeting of the South Coast Air Quality Management District, experts said
the amount of noxious gases being released from the Chiquita Canyon landfill has been increasing.
The AQMD voted to order the landfill to make improvements to try to stop
the stink. It also can keep operating as long as it meets forty different
conditions required for improvements. Three men have been charged with the murder and robbery
of a man at a scenic turnout on the Angelus Crest Highway in Pasadena.
The La County District Attorney's office says the man was shot several times in July
after he and a female passenger were robbed. The Pasadena Police Department previously said
they thought the killing was connected to the murders of two other people in a
car in Rancho Palace, forties. An admitted thief is facing two decades in
federal prison for robbing eight gas stations around La County. Samir Green says that
one gas station, he pointed a baby gun at a clerk and demanded money.
The clerk, who thought the gun was real, gave Green seven hundred
dollars. US attorneys Kieran McAvoy says Green also admitted in a plea deal yesterday
to robbing gas stations in Whittier, Pomona, and Culver City. He further
admitted to the April fifteenth cardjacking of the owner of a twenty cordwhile armed with
a baby gun, and Green has been in federal custody since April eighteenth.
Green is facing up to twenty years in prison. His sentencing is set for
November. Blake Trolley k if I Knews. Dozens of business owners in West
Hollywood have signed a letter asking the city to hold off on future minimum wage
increases. The city has the highest minimum wage in the country at just over
nineteen dollars an hour. People living in the city say they're still struggling despite
the increases. Some business owners say they might have to shut down if the
wage increases continue. A second group of officers is suing LAPD and the city
over the release of photos to an anti police website. The officers say they
feel the release of their department headshots put them in a state of constant stress,
which they didn't have prior to the negligent and reckless photo release. The
photos were sent to the website in March is part of a public records lawsuit,
but the undercover identities were not redacted by the LAPD. The undercover officers,
current and retired, were assigned to the Major Crimes Division, the ATFS
Gun Violence Reduction Task Force, the Games of Narcotics Division, and Human Trafficking,
all of which are high risk assignments requiring undercover identities. Steve Gregory k
if I knew Mexico has ended its federal ban on abortion. The Supreme Court
decision yesterday requires the Federal Public Health Service to offer the procedure to anyone who
asks for it, but the Court's decision leaves in place a patchwork of varying
state restrictions. Three sailors whose boat was attacked by chart sharks while they traveled
to Australia have been rescued. They were able to send a distress signal earlier
this week EMI speaking absolutely side they lost. It enabled the rescue Coordination center
to identify the precise location. Joe Zella with the Australian Maritime Safety Authority says
when the rescuers got to the sailors in the Coral Sea, they found both
holes of the boat had been damaged by sharks. He says all three men
aboard are healthy and were obviously very happy to be rescued. Let's say good
morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, this was kind of a surprise.
A special council was just appointed a couple of weeks ago, and now it's
been announced that federal prosecu tutors will likely seek a granjury indictment of President Biden's
son Hunter, to the extent that it's a surprise we have. Essentially prosecutors
are closing in on Hunter Biden with respect to one charge, and that is
related to his purchase of a pistol in twenty eighteen at a time that he
admits he was a drug user. On the form before you buy a handgun,
you have to certify that you are not a drug user or addicted to
drugs. Hunter Biden signed the form. He ticked the box no. He
acknowledges it was a lie. And this was all part of a plea agreement
that hunter Biden thought he had with prosecutors earlier this summer, where he would
plead guilty to two tax related misdemeanors for failing to pay his taxes in twenty
seventeen and twenty eighteen, and in exchange, prosecutors would set aside or defer
the felony gun possession charge. But when that deal started to unravel an open
court in late July, when the judge siding over the matter started asking questions
about the scope of the immunity that prosecutors were going to grant and what it
all covered and what it didn't and what hunter Biden's understanding of the deal was,
it all fell apart, and in the intervening weeks a couple of things
have happened. One, prosecutors have stated in writing that they believe that they're
at impass with the defense team. And two, David Weiss, who is
the US attorney in Delaware who's been overseeing this matter for the last five years,
got authority from the Attorney General here in Washington to become a special counsel,
which gives him a bit more autonomy on a day to day basis within
the Justice Department, particularly when it comes to charging decisions. So yesterday's court
filing, Why yesterday and what does it all mean? Well, if prosecutors
are going to go to trial on at least that felony gun possession charge,
and I say at least for a reason, they have to comply with the
terms of the Speedy Trial Act, which had certain deadlines, and one of
those deadlines for the felony gun possession charge happens to be the end of September,
the end of this month, and so the prosecutors have put both parties
and the judge on notice that they're going to proceed with that fell in the
possession charge. In order to do so, they need to get an indictment.
They say they're going to do it, and they're going to beat the
deadline, which is the end of the month. So that's all we know
at the moment. The bigger question is what else might be out there.
And at that plea agreement hearing earlier this year as part of the reason it
unraveled. The judge asked the prosecutors a very pointed question, are they interested
in pursuing other matters? Are they investigating Hunter Biden for whatever work he did
for overseas piece over the last ten years as possible violations of the Foreign Agents
Registration Act FARA? And when the prosecutor said yes to that question, it
really put Hunter Biden in his defense attorneys on their heels because he thought that
they with this plea agreement, they were done and there wouldn't be anything else
that they'd go after him. That's exactly right. He thought he was tying
up all the loose ends. At the end of five years, the investigation
was completely over, that he was essentially going to be cleared of any possible
wrongdoing. And when the prosecutors said, no, we're still investigating, well,
then it all came apart. So the two sides were impass because Hunter
Biden and his defense attorneys insist that not only did he not break the law
and that in those other respects, but that they thought they had a deal.
It was in writing, they had the Probation Office sign off, and
they want that agreement enforced now on the prosecution by the court. I think
it's unlikely, given the fact that the judge herself looked at the deal and
said she didn't understand it and at the two sides didn't agree on what it
all meant, how could it possibly be enforceable. So we'll see what happens
next. But the deadline that was revealed yesterday in court papers as the end
of the month. The prosecutors say they're gonna beat it and they're gonna bring
that one fell at a gun possession charge at least, okay. And then
so when the deal fell apart, he did plead not guilty. So does
that still go forward or is this is it separate or is it still the
same case. Well, he pleaded not guilty to the two tax related misdemeanors.
Okay, And so I think you know, all we know at the
moment is the prosecutor say they're going to move forward on that text sorry,
on that gun charge. It's confusing, yes, yes it is, and
so so. But but what we have to wait for is is really see
what happens next, because we have prosecutors might they might move on a charge
just to put a placeholder down, And as we know, there are things
called superseding indictments where they can amend the charges at new charges. And remember,
in the last several weeks, David Weiss has gotten approval to become a
special counsel. What's he going to do with that authority? We didn't know
the answer yet. Okay, so we're gonna be watching for September twenty nine.
I'm sure we're going to be talking to you on that day. Thank
you so much for your time, Stephen, appreciate it. Let's get back
to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom.
A judge has temporarily blocked a Chino Valley School District policy making staff tell parents
if their kid identifies as trans of transgender, or suicidal. Chino Valley School
District lawyer Tony DeMarco says the policy only applies to students who make official name
and gender changes to access facility. Of these are sports that are segregated by
sex. Fifty six percent reported to previous suicide, yet professional educators are allowed
to tell parents stop. Deputy ag Delbert Tran says school board comments make the
intent of the policy clear. Said the purpose of the policy was quote to
put a stop to transgenderous A. G rob Bonsa says the judges ruling yesterday
upholds LGBTQ right by immediately halting the board's forced outing policy. San Bernardino Superior
Court Judge Tom Garza also brought up school board comments that these students were under
a delusion or suffering from a mental illness, and before ruling, he said,
I don't know what the purpose of this policy is. I don't know
why this policy came up to single out this class of individuals. Court resumes
next month at San Bernardino Superior Court. Corbin Carson Ko Fight News. Only
four of more than one hundred thirty five business owners in Monterey Park who applied
for a federal SBA disaster loan have been approved. Loan applications were open to
any business owner who claimed a hardship following that mass shooting in January that killed
eleven people. Disaster loans are usually only available to those who lost business in
events like a fire or flood, but local lawmakers lobbied the SBA for help
on this one. The Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services has started
handing out drink safety test kits that can detect illegal substances in beverages. Mayor
Rex Richardson says the city is taking proactive steps to prevent drink spiking. The
kits are available to bars, restaurants, and community based organizations. A number
of Californians say they're dealing with huge increases on car insurance American Property Casualty Insurance
Associations. Bob Passmore says inflation is to blame. When the class of everything
that turns past war is going up, then there's only one potential. There's
only one result that it can happen, is that autominteranceperience are going to go
up too. Passmore claims every car insurer in California is losing money, so
they need to rates. LA resident Angela Gould says she has a perfect driving
record, but her premium just went up nearly thirty percent. I don't really
know what the solution is going to be, but somebody's going to have to
step in and do something. The Department of Insurances all rate increases have to
be justified by state law and that they thoroughly review applications to make sure drivers
only pay what's required. California's Insurance Commissioner has recently approved a billion dollars in
rate increases. San Francisco is looking for ways to save the city's historic Fisherman's
Wharf, which has attracted tourists for generations. Officials say the pandemic arise in
crime, homelessness, and empty storefronts have caused the area to lose its luster
and money too. Local developers have proposed adding an event space, a seafood
oriented food hall, interactive phishing trade exhibits, and a small fish processing facility
to try to revamp the area. They say they're shifting focus from maintaining a
tourist attraction to preserving the wharf's legacy. A man has been killed in a
shootout with SWAT officers in rialto after police say he deliberately crashed into a Chino
motorcycle officer who was trying to pull him over. Former President Trump is on
track to sweep all the delegates at delegates at next year's Republican Convention in California.
Latest bowls suggest he continues to hold a commanding lead over Florida Governoronda Santis
and the pack of other candidates. Are you ready for some football? The
NFL kicks off? It's twenty twenty three season tonight with the Super Bowl champion
Chiefs hosting the Detroit Lions in Kansas City at six oh five. It's handled
on the news Hunter Biden could be facing a federal indictment. We'll dig into
that, but right now, let's say good morning to ABC's crime and terrorism
expert Brad Garrett, the guy who gets in the bad guy's heads. Good
morning, Good morning. The man hunt for an escaped murder in Pennsylvania continues.
Danello Cavalcante escaped a week ago from the Chester County Prison, which is
west of Philadelphia, and Brad, we seem to be so how fascinated when
bad guys break out of jail? What's our attraction? So it's the thrill,
it's the excitement, it's the intrigue, it's the danger. I mean,
amy, think about it this way. If you're watching some crime drama
on the streaming service, they always hook you with the intrigue of somebody about
to be killed, about escaping in a car chase. Prison escapes with the
same profile. Obviously, it's a daring thing to break out of Princeton.
It's dangerous, but it's also exciting. How did he do it, How
did he get out? Where is he going to go when we get caught?
What's going on in his own head to hopefully help him not get caught?
All of these things people are drawn to. I mean, it was
a lead story on GMA this morning, a prison break. Okay, so
that gives you an idea the audience attraction. Well, and this guy is
I mean super bad guy. Right shot and killed his girlfriend in front of
her children, and then got away while he was being transferred from one prison
to another. Right or before that happened, but they were talking. There
was talk about him like scaling a wall like Spider Man or something when he
was trying to get out. So what he did. In May of this
year, in the same prison, a guy escaped exactly the same way.
The only difference is I think he went up the same wall. Did that
catwalk up the wall and through some razor wire and then ends up in a
prison yard and then eventually escapes from there. The May guy was caught by
a guy in the tower, sees him, calls it out, and within
ten minutes they catch him. This guy wasn't spotted for who knows what reason.
He had an hour head start until they had count. An hour later,
they realized he was gone. But the problem in all of these prison
escaped with a few that have plans beyond once they get out, who's going
to help me? Is they don't have any help. They don't have any
money, they don't have any means, and so they go on and run.
You know, this is a typical location of a prison in the US
that's in the middle of nowhere, so wooded area. I think there are
a number of probably summer homes where people go. So in other words,
the point being, there will be homes someone lives in that he could break
into. He's been seeing with a backpack of their clothing, so he's gotten
into somebody's house. Well, and did you hear about the one guy that
he the guy came home and heard noises in his house and flipped on a
light switch on and off. And then apparently the escaped man flipped a light
switch on and off like to say, dude, I'm in your house.
That's freaky. Well, and that's also very dairy. It sort of goes
right with the profile of somebody that would do something like this. I mean,
this the whole idea you're willing to risk everything, and in his case,
I mean, you know, he got sentenced to life. He's wanted
for a murder in Brazil. I mean, this guy's got literally nothing to
lose. So if you got to kill me, kill me. But I'm
going to get out of here and see how far i can get. So
it doesn't surprise me. He got into a light switch challenge with the owner
of the house. Yeah, okay, so he's been out on the loose
for like a week. He's still in the area. They're saying that he's
within about three miles of the prison. So, like you said, he
doesn't have a plan to get out. So how are they ultimately going to
catch him, Because obviously you have to eat, you have to sleep,
and those two things tend to get you caught. Let's say he's broken into
a house and no one has shown up yet, and the police don't obviously
know he's there. There might be a limited food in the house, or
he may see feel that a neighbor may have spotted him or something like that,
and so he moves. When he moves to find food or shelter or
try to steal a car, he's now touched society basically, His picture obviously
is all over the board in this part of Pennsylvania, and that's what gets
you caught. Movement, food, shelter, get you caught. And my
guess is that's what eventually we'll get him caught. So as much as we
would like it to happen right now, it's sort of it's a waiting game.
To wait for him to make mistakes, that's it, or get a
lucky tip. Yeah. In other words, somebody has a summer home,
they are, you know, pulling their driveway, they see a window open,
lights are on, and they call the police something like that, and
he gets caught. All right. Well, so we'll we'll be watching for
it, no doubt, all right, And I'm just glad that it didn't
happen here. Brad Garrett, thank you so much for your time and insight
this morning. I appreciate it a ton. You're welcome, take care of
Amy. You two talk to you soon. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man in
Long Beach has been arrested in connection with a series of car fires around the
city. Police arrested one person in connection with five separate fires along Seaside Way
where cars were torched and parking structures. Long Beach Fire Chief Dennis Buchanan says
tips from the community helped investigators make the arrest. This investigation is ongoing for
details will be limited to not compromise the integrity of this investigation. Police say
the man was booked yesterday on suspicion of arson and possession of a concealed dirk
or dagger. Officials are investigating whether others were involved. Chris Adler KFI News.
Federal prosecutors say they're planning to ask a grand jury to indict President Biden's
son Hunter by the end of the month. Court documents appeared to show allegations
related to a gun possession possession charge in which he was accused of having a
gun while being a drug user. US Attorney for Delaware, David Weiss,
referred to seeking an indictment before September twenty ninth in a status report required by
the judge. Lee is now a hurricane. It's in the Mid Atlantic,
heading west northwest and gaining strength. Lee is expected to reach major hurricane status
by Saturday, with winds up to one hundred and fifty miles per hour.
Forecasters say it could become the first Category five storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.
Did Jornou has released its most divisive pizza yet. The Pineapple Pickle Pizza
promised to be the most controversial pizza on the market, featuring a hand tossed
crust and garlic sauce, with a half topped with pineapple and the other with
pickles. The company offered a limited number of pizzas online for free, but
they were gone within just a couple hours. Did Jorneau hasn't said if more
will be produced or if the Pineapple Pickle Pizza will ever hit grocery store shelves.
Well, the spell has been cast. Halloween Time is back at the
Disneyland Resort and now k if I wants to give you a chance to get
in on the celebration. This is so cool. Halloween Magic is returning to
both Snee California Adventure Park and Disneyland Park with Fiendish Family Fund. It'll be
a real treat now through October thirty. First, keep listening to KFI and
a wake up call for your chance to win a four pack of one day
one park tickets. Right now, What am I on I'm on streaming stuff,
movies, TV shows, documentaries, sometimes network, but of course with
the actors and writers strikes, there's not going to be a whole lot of
network stuff coming up. So we're going to focus on streaming. This week,
I'm going to focus on Dope Sick at the recommendation of our very own
Kno, because like my whole thing is, there's so much content out there,
you don't know what to watch, and how do you pick what to
watch? And I will tell you there's something I'm watching right now, then
I'll probably tell you about next week. With them, I just want to
save your time. But uh, but last week we were talking about the
show called pain Killer, which stars Matthew Brodrick, and it's about the whole
opioid epidemic and the Sackler family and and Kono said, hey, if you
watched Dope Sick, which is also about the opioid epidemic, And so I
immediately went got on my couch and watched it. So it's based on real
stories of Americans who have suffered during the opioid epidemic. Stars Michael Keaton,
who is a small town doctor in a rural area in Coal Country, which
was really heavily hit by the opioid epidemic. It's on Hulu and the whole
series is out. It's like six or seven episodes. So the premise is
that MS Cotton is a drug and it's patented and it's about to expire,
and so the Sackler family that runs Perdue Pharma is freaking out because twenty five
percent of its sales are at stake, So they want to come up with
a long term pain medication that the company says is not addictive, and it's
being pushed by farmer reps as this safe, miracle drug. So the story
I think is really well acted. Like I liked it a lot better than
Painkiller. I think Painkiller seemed more sensationalized. This one was too, and
to a certain extent, but I think this one was more real. And
with Michael Keaton at the helm, I just think he was fabulous. But
it bounces back and forth between the small town that's affected as people start to
get on the OxyContin, and then also the investigators and prosecutors and how they
start making the connection that oxy was being marketed as something that it wasn't.
It portrays, it's portrayed as that they need to get these doctors to push
the drugs on their patients at pretty much any cost. And that was a
common theme between Dopsic and Painkiller, but I think that this one was done
more realistically. It was more like it's all a big party, and you
know that the reps are just stupid people who are devoid of any ethics or
anything like this. This the rep in this guy and it's Oh, I
don't know the actor's name, but he was in He was in the Marvel
movies. He was in Guardians of the Galaxy three and he was the gold
guy. I can't remember the actor's name, but anyway, the Sackler,
the guy who plays Sackler is portrayed as desperate to make more money and it's
all about the money, so like Painkiller, and he is just a nasty,
nasty guy. And the sad part about this is that drugs can be
life saving, but that's not how this is portrayed. And if this is
how everything really went down, like the Sackler family really is evil, like
they are portrayed that way, and whether that's an accurate depiction because they say
it's fictionalized, if it's real, they deserve a lot more than the billions
of dollars in fines that they got, because nobody is serving any time for
this, but they got slapped with a huge amount of fines. But it
also portrays the doctors as kind of lemmings who don't listen to their patients,
and it disregards that doctors can be very adept at prescribing drugs on a short
term basis than getting off of before they become addictive. And so but it
had to have happened in some regard because this thing got so out of control
and probably and still is an issue. So I think that this was a
really really good show, And like I said, it's six or seven episodes
and you really want to find out what happens even though you know what happens,
which I'm always fascinated by these shows that you know what the outcome is,
but you can't wait to see how they get there. So Dope Stick
on Hulu. Highly recommend it. And then just a quick mention on a
completely different kind of show, Virgin River season six five. The next season
a Virgin River, which is like a Hallmark movie, but the whole series
that comes out today. Can't wait to watch that. It's sort of a
nice little escapism. And then The Little Mermaid, the live action just came
out on Disney Plus, so it's now included. You don't have to rent
it. It's included on your Disney Plus. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Fire Department
in New York has added forty three names to the World Trade Center Memorial Wall.
The firefighters died of illnesses related to their rescue and recovery efforts on September
eleventh and a ground zero, and they embodied what it means to be a
member of the FDNY. Chief John Hodgen says this is the second largest group
of names added to the wall since it was created in twenty eleven. He
says the number of firefighters lost to nine to eleven related illnesses more than two
decades later, is almost as many as those who died on nine to eleven.
The State Assembly has passed a bill that would make California the third state
to decriminalized psychedelic drugs for personal use. A broader version of the bill obviously
passed the state Senate, and the final versions expected to pass next week.
The measure will then go to Governor Newsom for a final approval. He has
to sign it. If he does, Californians twenty one and up would be
allowed to ingest, possess, cultivate, or transport small amounts of psychedelic drugs
like hallucinogenic mushrooms. Two people who owned garment industry businesses in South LA have
been charged in an alleged wage theft case. It was filed by a new
unit in the DA's office that will specialize in businesses in which workers are being
underpaid. The business owners had agreed in twenty eighteen to pay settlements to former
workers for underpaying them. President Biden's on his way to the G twenty summit
in India. He set to fly out of Joint Base Andrews this afternoon.
After the summit, Biden is scheduled to visit Vietnam. White House Press Secretary
Karine Jean Pierre says Biden tested negative for COVID again yesterday. First Lady Jill
Biden tested positive earlier this week. The Biden administration is canceled the remaining seven
oil and gas leases in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge The administration has also proposed
stronger protections against development on thirteen million acres in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska.
Bruce Springsteen and E Street Ban have postponed all performances for this month,
starting with tonight's show in New York. Springsteen is being treated for symptoms of
peptic ulcer disease. That doesn't sound fun, and medical advisers urged him to
cancel the shows. His statement yesterday said he is sad to have to postpone,
but they'll be back. He also thanked fans for their understanding and support.
Have you ever gotten one of those texts that says, oh, hey,
it's your bank. You need to call us right now because there's something
screwy with your account, or we're closing your account, or you won't have
access to your account until you contact us. Well, the Federal Trade Commission
recently revealed that the most reported text message scam is bank impersonations. They apparently
have jumped to twenty times the number reported in twenty nineteen in just last year,
so lots more are going out there because obviously the bad guys are figuring
out that they can get money. Consumers have reported losses of more than three
hundred and thirty million dollars in text message scams in twenty twenty two. So
the FTC says, there's a couple of things you should do, so I'm
just going to let you know what they are. One that text message scammers
make you feel like you have to do something right now or you're going to
lose your money, So they say don't make any money moves under pressure.
So if you get anything that says, oh, call us now, or
your bank's going to be cut off or you're not gonna have access to your
accounts, that's a warning sign for you. If you get a text message
that you're not expecting, also be wary of that, especially if it looks
like it might be from your bank. And then don't click on the links
the links from any unsolicited message. If you do get a message, maybe
go on to the website where your bank account is and reach out to their
customers service people there or call your banks to find out if it's a legitimate
message. Also, just as you don't click on a link that's texted by
someone you don't know, don't click on or dial a phone number that you
get in a text so even again when i'd say call your bank, don't
use the phone number that you get in the text message. Go actually to
the bank's website or call, you know, go to the directory or something
and find what your bank's phone number is, and don't call the number that's
texted to you. And if you do fall victim, there are a couple
of things you should do. One, tell your bank about it, to
report the scam to local law enforcement, and three file a complaint with the
FTC. And I hope you don't get scammed, because it is scary.
You get that message, you go, oh no, I'm going to be
cut off. I have to do something. Don't. Let's say good morning
to ABC White House correspondent Karen Travers. Karen, the president's people said he
was going to wear a mask for ten days after first Lady Jill tested positive,
but apparently kind of missed the memo yesterday. Yeah, you know,
he had it on yesterday when he came into an event with union dockworkers and
port executives. But you know, again, it seemed a little briskly about
it. He walked in, he had masked, he took it off,
he said, let me explain to the press. I've been tested again today.
I'm clear across the board, but they keep telling me, because it
has to be ten days or something, I gotta keep wearing it. But
don't tell him I didn't have it on when I walked in, trying to
make the points that he was following a protocol out on his way into the
room. But you know, it didn't seem really eager to embrace mask wearing
again, And you know, maybe that kind of fits with what many people
around the country would be feeling. Too keen a while since he's worn a
mask consistently. We think it was about a year when we went back and
look at some video. But he has to based on the CDC guidance.
The White House was said they're following the CDC guidance to mask up for ten
days since that close contact with the first lady who tested positive on Monday.
But you know, he has been a little inconsistent with wearing it, coming
into a room, not wearing it during a speech, not wearing it when
he was very close to that Vietnam veteran the other day giving him a medal.
And I asked yesterday if that was an oversight, was a mistake was
he supposed to put it back on the White House wouldn't call it that,
but emphasize that you know he is doing it trying to follow the CDC guidance,
is us they can well. And when that kind of stuff happens,
it kind of puts Carinjon Pierre in a tough spot because she has to say,
of course, we're doing everything we can, and then everybody's going,
uh, didn't you just watch this? He literally didn't have the mask on
and he was right behind the Medal of Honor recipient right like breathing in his
face there yesterday, And you know, they had said that when he was
at a close distance that he would be masked. And he's gonna be going
into G twenty sun at tonight traveling to India, a very well trip to
get there. But he'll have meetings tomorrow evening in India and then all day
Saturday, and he'll be around a lot of people and he'll be in close
contact with people. So I asked, if you know there'll be any changes
to his behavior, like should we expect for him over these next couple of
days, And they said he'll be masked during these next few days while he's
traveling, and that he'll be tested regularly and working in consulication with his doctor
monitoring symptoms. But you know, I think it's something that you might not
be thrilled a valve because the values one on one face to face diplomacy.
But it's gonna look a little different for him. Yeah, okay. And
and in the meantime, you just mentioned he tested negative again yesterday or last
night. So he's going on the plane today to G twenty. And then
how the Jill's okay, yeah, but what House said, she's feeling fine
yesterday. But the president will test again today. Everybody will that's getting on
air Force one. And that actually would have happened even if the firstly he
had not tested positive. All they do that for every trip. Anybody getting
on Air Force one. Okay, Karen. Travelers say, oh, are
you going? Do you get to travel with him? I am not,
I am not. My two colleagues are already there though we got two people
on the ground. I think they'd landed by now. They actually might not
be there yet. It's that long of a trip to get there. Well,
the good news for us is when we still get to talk to you
while they're over there exactly, all right, thanks so much. All right,
thanks Karen. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of

pushed by an assemblyman from Fullerton allows counties to share data to stop an increase
in homeless deaths. Just in Orange County this last month, we had forty
seven deaths on the street. Assembly Woman Sharing Quarksdilla says, the one hundred
thirty thousand people on the street in California are dying twenty years younger than everyone
else. We may not be solving homelessness. We may be dying our way
out of this. She says. Sharing data between healthcare, law enforcement,
and other agencies will help spot trends, whether it's increases in some type of
viruses, cold exposure getting people into shelters. The governor this month signed the
bill into law in Fullerton. Corbin Carson Kofy News. A judge in Georgia

Well, Lancaster County Sheriff's office did a little digging and they listened to
the nine one one call said I'm on Highway seventy seven going north. Somebody
is on the wrong side of the road and almost ran me off of the
