It beat the Meg two Shocker at six oh five. 19 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.280 It's handling the news. Mike Pants has not ruled out being a witness in 20 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.159 a Trump trial. Let's start with some of the stories coming out of the 21 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.319 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As I just mentioned, two firefighting helicopters have 22 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.840 collided midair in Riverside County, killing three men aboard one of the helicopters, 23 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:56.640 which included one CalFire Division chief, one calf Air captain, and one contract 24 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.719 pilot. Calfire's David Fulcher says they were fathers, husbands, and friends. 25 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.359 The men were observing and coordinating air drop operations last night during the wildfire near 26 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.879 Kabazon when the collision happened. The other helicopter, with two people on board, 27 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.199 had a hard landing, but they are all safe. One person has 28 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:20.319 been killed and a deputy involved. Shooting in Carson had happened just after two 29 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.960 this morning at a gas station on South Central Avenue. We're still waiting for 30 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.599 details on what led up to that. Shooting. A judge has ordered an 31 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.080 LAPD detective to get a psych exam. Danielle Tumbleson says she was harassed over 32 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.759 the way she dressed as a female detective. She worked at Operation Valley Bureau 33 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.919 Homicide and says her supervisor told her her outfit was not proper business attired. 34 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.800 Her attorney says the department is a wholly dysfunctional and hostile work environment. The 35 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:49.039 demeans, belittles and discriminates against female homicide detectives, and Tumbleson continues to suffer 36 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.919 humiliation, embarrassment, anxiety, mental anguish, and emotional distress. City attorneys 37 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.280 saying none of the actions was adversed to Tumblson's career and that she was not 38 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.439 accused of any misconduct and she was never disciplined. Steve Gregory King of Fine 39 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.319 News. Former President Trump has been given until the end of today to respond 40 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.039 to a request for a protective order by Special counsel Jack Smith. ABC's Justin 41 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.520 Finch says the request was triggered by a post on social media where Trump said 42 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.039 if you go after me, I'm coming after you. In his request, 43 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:24.439 Smith argues Trump could use his social media to disclose evidence or even intimidate witnesses. 44 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.439 Trump said he will ask the judge in his alleged election fraud case to 45 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.639 step aside on what he calls very powerful grounds. He says there's no way 46 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.159 he can get a fair trial unless he gets a different judge. The Attorney 47 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.599 General's office in Texas has appealed a ruling that would have relaxed the state's abortion 48 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.680 ban. A judge Friday temporarily blocked the band for women who have dangerous pregnancy 49 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.319 complications. Russia has fired a barrage of missiles and drones across parts of Ukraine. 50 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:59.280 Russia had promised to retaliate for a Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian tanker 51 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.159 in the blacks seen near Crime Crimea late Friday. There was also another drone 52 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:09.319 attack on Moscow yesterday, forcing one of the city's airports to temporarily closed. 53 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:14.520 The US has sent four navy ships to the Aleutian Islands in response to Russian 54 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:20.240 and Chinese ships sailing near Alaska. ABC's Aikeajashki says there were almost a dozen 55 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:26.360 ships. Officials say those foreign ships were on patrol and international waters conducting a 56 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:30.399 joint naval exercise. US officials, saying the military had been expecting this Chinese 57 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:35.759 Russian patrol for several weeks. US Northern Command said yesterday the foreign patrol stayed 58 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:42.319 in international waters. A Superlauto Plus lottery ticket where eighty two million dollars has 59 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.680 been sold in a high desert. The ticket from Saturday's drawing was sold at 60 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.720 Spring Valley Market in Victorville. Five other tickets matched five numbers but missed the 61 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.560 megan number. They're each worth more than thirteen thousand, So those winning numbers 62 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:59.639 attention, Victorville seventeen nineteen twenty three, thirty one, thirty three and the 63 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.879 megan number was fourteen. No one got all six numbers in last night's powerball 64 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:08.439 drawing, so that jackpot actually was Saturday night's Powerball drawing. So that jack 65 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.759 pot for the next drawing on Wednesday will be worth one hundred forty five million 66 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.920 dollars, and tomorrow night's Mega Millions jackpot is worth a whopping one hundred and 67 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:23.079 fifty five billion. It's time for us to check in now with ABC's Steve 68 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:27.360 Portnoy. Well, never a dull moment, Steve. We've got lots going 69 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:32.519 on Following the arraignment last week of former President Trump, and now we have 70 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.959 people starting to weigh in on plans and all kinds of fun things. So 71 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:43.360 tell us what's the latest. Well, the latest is an order that the 72 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.199 prosecution is seeking a protective order that would prevent the former president from speaking publicly 73 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.839 about the case. The reason that the prosecutors want it is they say that 74 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:58.439 the former presidents want to make public statements about witnesses and evidence, and in 75 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.240 particular, they are that the former president would try to use a social media 76 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:05.639 post to intimidate witnesses. And they pointed to something that he posted on Friday, 77 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:10.120 something if you come for me, I'll come for you, And they 78 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.839 actually mentioned that in their filing to the court as they asked for this protective 79 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.399 order. The judge has given the Trump lawyers until five pm Eastern time today 80 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.279 to respond. We imagine that they will put in their response what the Trump 81 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:25.879 campaign said in response to this, which is that what the former president was 82 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.800 doing was the essence of political speech. He was talking about his rivals for 83 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.439 the Republican nomination and he said to them, if you come for him, 84 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:38.759 well he's going to come for you. Well, we'll see how the judge 85 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.160 Judge Tanya Chukin rules on this as it happens, the former president has been 86 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.439 saying on his social media platforms that he believes that the judge should recuse herself 87 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.959 and that the trial should be moved outside of the city, outside of Washington, 88 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.800 DC, because he believes that neither the judge nor the venue would be 89 00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:00.399 fair to him. Legal experts say that Trump has not yet established a bates 90 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.639 for his requests this, particularly when it comes to the politics or the people 91 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:09.079 of the city. And that's not enough. That if you first have to 92 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:14.480 try to impanel twelve jurors and a couple of alternates, and after you've exhausted 93 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.959 that attempt, and you can't determine that there would be a dozen people who 94 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.399 could demonstrate their their willingness to hear the evidence and be fair, well, 95 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:25.639 then it would be appropriate to ask for a change of venue. But they 96 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.839 point out that no January sixth defendant who's made the same argument has had any 97 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.680 success with it. And what are the chances of the judge recusing herself, 98 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.839 Well, that's also believed to be unlikely. Look, you can't ask a 99 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.720 judge to recuse herself and expect that she will just because she has issued a 100 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.319 couple of rulings that you happen to disagree with, and those rulings might include 101 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.480 the tough sentences that she's issued in some January six cases, and the fact 102 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:55.240 that she ruled against the former president in an unrelated civil case to the extent 103 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.879 it's unrelated, it was because it had to do with his papers in the 104 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:03.160 House January sixth committee whether the House Committee had the right to access those papers. 105 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.160 And what she said was that the presidents are not kings and Trump is 106 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:11.279 not president. Well, just because she's issued unfavorable rulings about you, doesn't 107 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.120 mean that you have demonstrated the kind of bias that would be necessary for a 108 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:22.439 judge in the normal course to recuse herself. Okay, Now, yesterday I 109 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.879 was watching Trump's attorney, John Laura, was talking about that he is free 110 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.279 to say what he wants under the First Amendment, and as you just mentioned, 111 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.559 that it's politically protected speech. And as a general rule, I think 112 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.519 we all know that politicians lie all the time, right, I Mean, 113 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.519 there's some truth there, but they lie all the time on both sides. 114 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:50.200 So what makes this different if Trump was lying when it comes to the prosecution's 115 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.080 argument that he was engaged in a corrupt scheme. It's not just what he 116 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.159 was saying publicly, Okay. The argument that the prosecution will make is that 117 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.879 the former president and his con spiritors worked to have people fill out forms that 118 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.519 they attested the things that weren't true, and they sent those forms to Washington, 119 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.000 DC with the express intent of having the proper forms rejected in an effort 120 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.919 to defraud the country, and in particular to see to it that the will 121 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.960 of the people, as certified by the governors of the States was set aside, 122 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.159 and instead the papers submitted by the activists who supported the former president should 123 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.759 be accepted. And that's the corrupt scheme the prosecutors are intent on proving. 124 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.159 Okay, great Steve Portnoys, thank you so much. I loved how you 125 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.159 give us good insight on this because it's a lot to muddle through, you 126 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.960 bet. Thanks, have a great day. Let's get back to some of 127 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.279 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

First responders found the baby early yesterday morning after they got 137 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.080 a call that she wasn't breathing. The girl was being taken care of by 138 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.960 a babysitter. Apparently her mother was out of state. The infants four and 139 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.360 one year old siblings were also home at the time. They're now in protective 140 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.399 custody.

Initial reports indicated that they were in the 145 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.399 process of doing some type of a fueling operation or had just completed a fueling 146 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:03.440 operation.

Now, let's 172 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.960 say good Morning to ABC's Tom Rivers. Tom, A peace summit was held 173 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.320 over the weekend. Uh, who was who was there and what they talk 174 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.679 about? Yeah? Who was there? About forty representatives from various countries China, 175 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.080 India, some European countries, etc. Um. Absence Uh from the 176 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.480 from the meeting was Russian. They were not invited. So if it's like 177 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.639 a workplace mediation between management and labor, if you can't get them around the 178 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.159 table, at least you shuttle between them. But if the mediator says no, 179 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.519 I'm only speaking to management, this isn't going to go very far down 180 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.919 the road. But that's kind of where we are. They agreed to hopefully 181 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:39.399 hold another meeting U. The Ukrainian side says that some progress was made, 182 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:45.159 progress being made in their eyes, and that they got to basically say that 183 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.720 they want the Russian troops to leave and they want the territory now occupied by 184 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.200 Russia to be turned back to them. Um. But other than that, 185 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:58.279 um, you know, it was pretty expensive flying into Jetta for a basically 186 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.679 not a very fruitful result. So did they talk with the other nations like, 187 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.159 hey, let's figure out a way to end the conflict, or did 188 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.559 they just or did Ukraine just come in and say, hey, we want 189 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.519 Russia to leave. That's a kind of the ladder. In fact, Moscow's 190 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.679 come forward. They were they were obviously watching what was coming out of this, 191 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.039 and they say, if the object of the exercise was to kind of 192 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.600 persuade the southern hemisphere countries that kind of back Russia these days, Um, 193 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:33.080 there's that was a total failure. Uh So, no, it wasn't a 194 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.080 cheerleading meeting for the West. Uh And you know case in point, Look 195 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:43.159 what's happening to Niger right now, that part of the Western Africa is leaning 196 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.000 more and more countries falling all the time into the quote unquote influence of of 197 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.679 of Moscow. So yes, this administration is not doing a very good job 198 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.480 and influencing people and uh, you know, getting people on board. So 199 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.679 you said that more and more people are turned to like Russia and China. 200 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:07.000 But they were at least at the table. So is it significant that they 201 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.639 that most of the company countries went to the meeting. Well, yeah, 202 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.600 I guess so. I mean China has said in the past obviously they would 203 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.320 be willing to you know, be a mediator as well. They were certainly 204 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.399 at these talks um Saudi Arabia, you know, more and more they're looking 205 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:30.120 toward toward Moscow and thinking there are different ways of dealing with the world and 206 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:35.679 not having uh petro dollars as the monopoly currency trading oil around the planet. 207 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.000 So you know, they're they're kind of neutral as well. So it's not 208 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.519 you know, one way traffic where you know, Washington says this is what 209 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.360 we want world. It's not. It's not nineteen fifty five. We live 210 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.159 in the world we live in right now, which is multipolar and and becoming 211 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.360 ever more so each and every day. Okay, and now Ukraine is saying 212 00:15:54.360 --> 00:16:00.200 the talks were productive, but like with what's going on with Ukraine sort of 213 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:08.240 making having attacks in Russia at least the drone attacks. Are they getting any 214 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:12.919 you know, handslapping for that from the other countries, well, tacitly, 215 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:15.240 yes, I mean, the US says, look, we we we give 216 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:21.519 you these weapons are not to be used against targets on Russian soil, but 217 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.879 of course they have been. Um case in point, we had the recent 218 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:33.480 attack against a Russian TANKERU and of course retribution was very very swift. Missiles 219 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:38.279 and drones from the Russian side hitting western Ukraine over the weekend. So yes, 220 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.480 they we're kind of looking at, you know, a counter offensive that 221 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:48.120 really never happened. And about the only thing the Ukrainians can do is dou 222 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:53.519 diversionary things like the odd drone attack against maybe an airport or a moscow or 223 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:57.679 a target like like an oil tanker. But as far as winning the war 224 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.600 on the line in eastern Ukraine, that is not happening. Okay, So 225 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.279 the summit is over. Russia wasn't there. They said it was a waste 226 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.359 of time. Ukraine says it was great or productive. So is there anything 227 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:15.759 that is there a next step? You said that they talked about having another 228 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.880 meeting, but is there anything set? Nothing sets, No, But we 229 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:23.400 had a similar meeting in June in Denmark, So yes, unless they expand 230 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:30.160 this thing. And you think back living through the Vietnam War, thinking back 231 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:36.079 to the Paris peace talks, very very fraught with difficulties and very very lengthy, 232 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:40.960 but eventually, through shuttle diplomacy, they eventually got teams from the US 233 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.319 and Vietnam to sit staring at each other on the same table. Unless you 234 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.799 get to that point, absolutely zero zero's going to happen as far as peaks, 235 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.400 peace talks go with Ukraine and Russia. Okay, Tom Rivers, thank 236 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.039 you so much for you're inside. Appreciated a ton. Take care. I 237 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.720 have a great day. Now let's get back to some of the stories coming 238 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.720 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man and woman in their 239 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:07.240 twenties have been arrested for a fatal car to car shooting in Irvine. A 240 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.480 nineteen year old was shot Thursday afternoon while in the passenger seat over Mercedes Benz. 241 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:14.799 Police say a white Honda Civic pulled up next to the Mercedes. A 242 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:18.880 guy got out and fired, hitting the team several times. The arrests were 243 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.559 made on Friday. News brought to you by sun Lux. A teenager has 244 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.519 been arrested for a deadly family disturbance in Culver City. Police recalled late Saturday 245 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.440 night and found a person had been killed. The relationship between that person and 246 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:36.759 the team wasn't released. The final Minneapolis police officer convicted in state court in 247 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.759 the death of George Floyd is about to be sentenced. Former officer To Tao 248 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.799 was found guilty of aiding and abetting unintentional second degree murder and aiding and abetting 249 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:51.200 second degree manslaughter. He's already serving a three and a half year sentence on 250 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:56.200 a federal civil rights charge. Moving can help your brain. Cherylyn Jackson, 251 00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.960 with a Kansas State University extension, says moving your body is critical. Helps 252 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.559 improve the blood flow to the brain. That's really a key thing. Helps 253 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:10.599 reduce inflammation. It helps to improve your cognitive health, meaning you can think 254 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:15.920 more clearly, problem solved. She says physical activity reduces the production of stress 255 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.880 hormones, increases the release of feel good hormones, and helps us sleep better. 256 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:25.160 Jackson says that movement doesn't have to be strenuous to get the benefits. 257 00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:27.759 Just getting out of your chair and walking around every half hour can work wonders 258 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:32.599 for your brain. I'm only laughing because I'm thinking of myself yesterday I didn't 259 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.480 get out of my chair and walk around every half hour in any stretch. 260 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:40.720 Speaking of moving, how are people moving around to get to Taylor's Swift's show. 261 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:47.160 Well, they're not moving much on metro because maybe now we get bad. 262 00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.920 You know what you said. There there's a seventy thousand capacity at Sofi 263 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:55.799 Stadium, just five thousand, actually less than five thousand took Metro on the 264 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.200 first night of the show, despite all the extra trains, the buses, 265 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.119 the shuttles, and the urging from officials barking about one hundred bucks at so 266 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:10.160 far higher in areas around that so in other areas of the country that stops 267 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:14.599 in Atlanta to Philadelphia. Social media has been buzzing about how the Swifties have 268 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.720 been taking over the public transit tour routes. Fans have been posting about finding 269 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:23.680 new friends on their way and catching pictures of all the costume crowds and all 270 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:30.000 that stuff, And in some cities ridership tripled. So Metro in anticipation of 271 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:34.039 that same thing in increased capacity on show nights by thirty three percent, extended 272 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:38.960 service past midnight, and added two free shuttle routes from Major Station to Sofi 273 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.519 Stadium. But then again it just didn't materialize. Right now, they say 274 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:48.759 they're gonna they're going to keep adding that extra service and extend service hours for 275 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:55.799 her remaining shows. She's got shows tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday, so 276 00:20:55.839 --> 00:21:00.920 Swiftymania continues. A federal judge is given former press in Trump until the end 277 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.200 of the day to respond to Special Counsel Jack Smith's motion for a protective order. 278 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:08.400 Barbie is now a member of the billion dollar club. It crossed the 279 00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:12.839 billion dollars mark globally and was number one at the box office in the US 280 00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:18.680 again this weekend. It's a third straight week. I also wanted to mention 281 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.839 you just heard that it's Purple Heart Day, and of course we salute you 282 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.000 service members and thank you for your service. At six oh five, it's 283 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.240 handled on the news. Thousands of LA City workers are planning to walk off 284 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.480 the job. Dig into that, but right now, let's say good morning 285 00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:37.240 to ABC's Tom Rivers. So, Tom Trump is facing like seventy eight criminal 286 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:42.200 charges. I'm sorry, Steve Roberts, my bad there, Steve. Steve 287 00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:47.519 Trump is facing seventy eight criminal charges, expecting more, probably in Georgia. 288 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:52.119 Yet he's doubling down like the indictments are a badge of honor, so houses 289 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.000 affecting him politically. Well, I'm glad, yeah, because the fact is 290 00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:00.319 that I think these indictments and these legal issues are more are important politically than 291 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:04.119 they are legally. Gaming. First of all, it's entirely possible that none 292 00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:08.359 of these cases will actually come to trial before the election. Trump is a 293 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:12.359 master at delay, he always has been. But you can't delay the election. 294 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:15.839 No matter what Trump says to judges the jury, you can't delay the 295 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:22.000 election. It's going to happen in fifteen months. And in terms of the 296 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:27.319 primaries, I do think that these indictments have actually helped Trump. Let's remember 297 00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:33.680 that the core of his whole political identity from the very beginning, has been 298 00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.559 the notion of grievance. It's been the notion of victimhood. He said to 299 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:44.680 his course supporters over and over, the deep swamp, the deep state, 300 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.279 the swamp, the East Coast elites, the West Coast elites for that matter, 301 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.759 Los Angeles and Hollywood as well as these they look down on you. 302 00:22:53.000 --> 00:23:00.759 And it's been a very effective and mobilizing argument for his supporters. And now 303 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.440 he gets to say, see, I told you, I told you what 304 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.680 happened, and it's happening again. They're out to get me, They're out 305 00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:12.880 to get you. The poles all show that is in the Republican primary among 306 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:19.240 the primary voters of Rada Santis has actually increased, but amy very different situation 307 00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:26.279 in terms of a general election, and there these legal documents are play a 308 00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:32.319 very important political role because it's not a question of whether he violated it some 309 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.799 difficult federal statute to interpret. As lawyers keep saying, well, his free 310 00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:44.039 speech rights entitles him to say anything he wants legally, that's true. Politically, 311 00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.400 it's very different when people you know, he has every right to say 312 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.119 the election was ricked. He has every right to say that the prosecutor, 313 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:57.039 Jack Smith is deranged. But politically, when voters hear that, do they 314 00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:00.400 say, wait, is that the guy I really want as president? Is 315 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:07.640 that the guy who's judgment and stability and character is what I want? It's 316 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:12.519 a very different lens. It's a very different framework from did he commit a 317 00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:18.960 legal crime whether he committed a political crime. And that's why in many ways 318 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.319 this is more important as a political fight than I was the legal fight. 319 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:27.079 Yeah, I think you're right. Like when he ran in twenty sixteen and 320 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:33.079 everybody was like, what he's just been crazy in saying what all these outlandish 321 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:34.960 things? But it worked and everybody was like, like you said, fired 322 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:37.599 up and it got people fired up saying we need change, We're going to 323 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.599 do it, and he'll he's going to railroad, everybody, and get it 324 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.319 done. And then once he became president, I think a lot of people 325 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.599 were like, okay, you won now tone it down and just get stuff 326 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.000 done. And I think a lot of supporters were turned off by that, 327 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.920 some supporters and also, let's remember it's fascinating, Amy, I mean, 328 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:02.519 you dig into the statistics here. Two thousand and sixteen, six percent, 329 00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:08.119 six percent, that's seven point eight million voters voted for third party candidates. 330 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:14.359 Many of them were Liberals who had supported Bernie Sanders, were disillusioned with Hillary 331 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:21.559 Clinton, disillusion with the Democratic Party, and that those third party voters really 332 00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:26.880 were the difference in those handful of key states Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania that 333 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.759 gave Trump the election. Four years later, Amy, the percentage of Americans 334 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:37.480 who voted third party dropped from six percent to under two percent. That's five 335 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:42.400 million votes, and that was one of the key differences, because voters who 336 00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:45.400 thought, well, Trump will never win, or I hate Hillary Clinton, 337 00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:51.559 or Trump's not so bad, they saw what he did over four years. 338 00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:55.799 Now, these is not huge swings. I mean, the people who are 339 00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:59.440 loyal to Trump remained loyal to Trump. I don't think hardly any of them 340 00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:03.119 have been shaped and if anything, they've been solidified in their enthusiasm and their 341 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.799 loyalty. But they're not going to decide the election. The election is going 342 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.759 to be decided by a relatively small group of swing voters in a relatively handful 343 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.400 of states. And by the way, that does not include California, you 344 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:19.200 know, And it doesn't include New York, and it doesn't include Alabama. 345 00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:26.000 You know. There are most states in this country are pretty much red or 346 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.480 blue from the beginning, but those swing states, the midwestern states of Pennsylvania, 347 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:37.039 Michigan, wisconsint You add in perhaps Nevada and Arizona, Georgia, maybe 348 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:41.119 North Carolina, maybe Florida, but it's still a handful of state. And 349 00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:47.880 that's why I say that politically, people make a very different judgment than they 350 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:53.640 do legally. And it's an open question whether Trump violated the law. It's 351 00:26:53.680 --> 00:27:00.920 going to be hard for the prosecutors to approve that his actions constituted a crime, 352 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:03.720 But politically it's a very different lens. And in the end, you 353 00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:11.160 know, I think it's actually healthier for the American political system if the final 354 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:18.079 definitive verdict on Donald Trump is rendered by voters not by judges or by juries. 355 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:23.519 And that's the way the system's designed to work. And so Steve the 356 00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:29.680 prosecutors, you're talking about the how politically it helps them. Prosecutors are pushing 357 00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:36.480 for a speedy trial. Trump Trump is and his lawyers are pushing for the 358 00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:42.160 trials not to happen until after the election. So in the scenario that it 359 00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:47.359 happens after the election, Trump gets elected, we're all speculating, of course 360 00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:51.680 right now, and then he gets convicted, could he literally be president in 361 00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:56.119 prison? You know, this is totally uncharted legal territory. It's crazy, 362 00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.079 you know, I mean, you know that there have been a number of 363 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.599 stories recently saying, well, you know, former presidents are current and former 364 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:08.359 presidents are entitled to a Secret Service protection. How do you put someone in 365 00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:14.119 jail if they're guarded by the Secret Service? That would not be service agents? 366 00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:18.759 Want right, Yeah, exactly. But you know, one of the 367 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:25.799 key questions is if and when these trials are put off? So after the 368 00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:30.839 election, Now, what happens if Trump is reelected, Well, it's totally 369 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:37.119 plausible that he could then direct his Justice Department to drop the federal charges against 370 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.400 him. Of these three cases that have been brought so far. Two of 371 00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.279 them are federal, the one that we just saw in Washington and the one 372 00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:49.359 we saw about classified documents in Florida a few weeks ago. But the case 373 00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:55.440 of the Stormy Daniel's hush money that was brought in New York, and whatever 374 00:28:55.559 --> 00:29:00.519 case that might be brought in Georgia charging him with fraud over his attempts to 375 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:06.240 overturn the election in Georgia, those are state cases, and so it's entirely 376 00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:10.319 possible that you know, he does even as president, and even as the 377 00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:15.400 person who controls the Justice Department, he would not have the ability to dismiss 378 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:23.440 state charges against him. And these are totally unchartered and legal waters about could 379 00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:27.839 of sitting president face a trial, Well, probably wouldn't face a federal trial, 380 00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:32.079 but maybe he could face a local trial. No one knows how this 381 00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:37.160 would play out. But what we do know is that no matter how successful 382 00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:42.200 he is at postponing the legal cases, he can't postpone the election. And 383 00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:45.519 that day of reckoning is coming. All right, Steve Roberts, thank you 384 00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:48.119 so much. We'll be along for the ride. It's going to be a 385 00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:52.400 bumpy one. I meantime, I can help you out, Amy. I 386 00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.160 always a pleasure talking to you. You got it, you too. Three 387 00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.960 people have been killed when two firefighting helicopters crashed fighting a fire in Riverside County. 388 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:04.200 Our own Steve Gregory's out in Riverside County. We'll be hearing from him 389 00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:08.920 not too far from now. President Biden is headed out west this week. 390 00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:15.640 Firstop is Arizona, followed by visits to New Mexico and Utah. Simone Biles 391 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.640 is back, so happy to see this. The Olympic champion made her return 392 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.720 to competitive gymnastics in the US Classic in Illinois. She competed in four events 393 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:26.559 and landed the highest score of the night. The last time she competed was 394 00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.400 in twenty twenty one, when she left the Olympics. We're just minutes away 395 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.359 from Handle. On the news this morning. More speed humps are going in 396 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.119 around LA. We'll tell you about that. But right now, let's say 397 00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:41.000 good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim, we're saying goodbye to the way 398 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:45.680 we've traditionally said goodbye. Why funerals are going away productional funerals, right, 399 00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:49.160 casket funerals. But we're not talking about her moral service. Those who are 400 00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:55.160 still fairly popular even if you don't have the traditional funeral with the casket and 401 00:30:55.240 --> 00:31:00.759 the grave side of the burial. California, the typical burial the average barrel, 402 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.839 according to the National Funeral Directors Association, is seventy two hundred dollars. 403 00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:10.640 Cremation in California costs about six thousand, little over six thousand, So you're 404 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:14.640 saving twelve hundred dollars by doing cremation instead of a burial, and the cost 405 00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:18.960 is a part of it. The Funeral Directors Association says that in twenty fifteen, 406 00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:29.400 cremation outpaced the traditional burial, and the numbers have continued to divide. 407 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:34.119 I mean, so in twenty twenty you had fifty six percent of memorial services 408 00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:38.319 being by cremation and only thirty nine percent were by burial, and that number 409 00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:45.119 is continuing to decline, the funeral number. And do we know aside from 410 00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.119 the cost of it, which you know that's twelve hundred dollars, which is 411 00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.160 significant, but it's not outrageous. Aside from the costs, what are some 412 00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.920 other factors that are playing into why people are not doing traditional funerals? Well, 413 00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.559 The Funeral Directors Association and the Kaiser Foundation and got together and they find 414 00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:06.680 that fewer people, fewer Americans are involved in church. And it used to 415 00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:10.119 be that you were buried, you were born and baptized to you lived your 416 00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:14.720 life in a church, then you were buried at that church or in that 417 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:19.880 church. That's just not happening because fewer people are involved in religious organizations. 418 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:23.160 And so, yeah, the Kaiser Foundation said that's one reason. Also that 419 00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:29.079 people are changing their tradition, their end of life tradition, away from traditional 420 00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:32.440 funerals. And are more people who like just doing like a wake or a 421 00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.599 party exactly. Yeah, they're a celebration of life or some sort of memorial 422 00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.079 service. Things have gotten smaller as well. You used to have funerals with 423 00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.680 hundreds of people showing up. Now you'd be surprised to find only a couple 424 00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:51.799 of dozen at a memorial service like this. The other part is this people 425 00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:55.680 are moving away from cremation now. Also, every cremation puts about five hundred 426 00:32:55.759 --> 00:33:00.599 pounds of carbon dioxide into the into the atmosphere. Five pounds even if you're 427 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:05.759 a fairly small person, but you're talking about the the energy expended to do 428 00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:12.599 that process. There's something called aquamation amy. This is the body is placed 429 00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.920 into a tank. The tank is filled with liquid and it stays there for 430 00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:22.359 some hours that it's heated, and then the result is sort of just a 431 00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:25.160 liquid that then is put down the drain and goes back into the sources and 432 00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:31.279 it's sterile water. Essentially. Some people are choose looking people. Yeah, 433 00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:35.839 kind of boiling them down, that's what you're doing. Have you heard of 434 00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.279 the I've heard of composting. Yes. I thought that idea was kind of 435 00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:42.839 interesting because it kind of it's it's like the cremation. It goes it's the 436 00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.319 ashes to ashes, dust to dust, but it's like putting you back in 437 00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:50.400 and making you part of mother Earth again, right, And and that's something 438 00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:52.640 that people are committed to. And the cost of that, the cost of 439 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:59.279 this human composting is about what you'd pay for a traditional casket funeral, So 440 00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:02.359 there's out of cost savings there. But I think there's a conscience that people 441 00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:06.759 have that they're trying to save the environment. They're trying to do something other 442 00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:13.079 than taking up space in a cemetery or sending hundreds of pounds of pollutants into 443 00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:15.400 the sky. You've heard of the other one too, where they turn you 444 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:23.639 into a gem a gym. Yeah, there's something where they like it's not 445 00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:27.840 a diamond, but they do some sort of a heat process and then what 446 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.519 comes out of you is what you turn into some sort of a sparkly jewel. 447 00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:35.199 Oh nice. I like the composting one better. Yeah, yeah, 448 00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:37.480 but I can see where the scattered, Like I have some friends who've had 449 00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:40.400 the cremation done. Where you go and you want to scatter the ashes, 450 00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:43.880 whether it's legal to do it where you do it or not, but you 451 00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.119 know, like somebody went and they put their ashes out to sea because they 452 00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:51.199 love the water, that's true, or doing something kind of a hybrid. 453 00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:54.239 When my parents died, they died ten years apart, but their ashes now 454 00:34:54.679 --> 00:35:00.360 are in the same niche at the columbarium of the local Catholic church in Texas 455 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:05.000 and suburban Dallas. That's what they wanted and that's what they had done. 456 00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:08.000 Okay, Well interesting. You know what else is I think is going to 457 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:15.000 be interesting is that the funeral funeral home industry is a huge industry, and 458 00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:21.199 I wonder how that's going to affect them because with less and less people doing 459 00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:23.639 this right, well, and what's more the funeral home. It used to 460 00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:28.559 be kind of a family business and it would be handed down from one generation 461 00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:32.119 to the next. But now corporations have taken over and they're running most of 462 00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:37.440 the funeral homes in the country and essentially setting the prices too. And and 463 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:43.079 you know, the funeral home that can adapt can buy this purchase you purchase 464 00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:47.639 the material for either a cremation or this aquamation equipment. They're doing that to 465 00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:52.599 try to keep up with these changing trends. Okay, Jim Ryan, thank 466 00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:58.639 you so much for your time. I want to say goodbye the regular way. 467 00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:00.639 Although I like the idea of the I'm posting not against it. Tyler, 468 00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.760 would you like to be composted? I would consider it. Yeah, 469 00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:07.599 it seems like a natural thing to do. I think the gem thing is 470 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:09.880 cool too. Make it like an heirloom. Yeah, and then you wear 471 00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:13.519 it here. This was my mom. Yeah. Like one cool, one 472 00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:15.400 really cool thing that my mom had done was my grandfather owned a lot of 473 00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:20.440 gold, but it was like really like gaudy jewelry that nobody wears anymore, 474 00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:24.239 So she had it melted down and all of his grandkids got to choose what 475 00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:27.719 they wanted. Their piece of jewelry to be so I have a ring, 476 00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:30.559 my sister has a necklace. I think that's a really cool idea too. 477 00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:34.679 I like that. Hey, we're marking an anniversary. It was actually yesterday, 478 00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.880 but I wanted to mention it today because it's it changed the world, 479 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:44.519 you know, and with it's The seventy eighth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima 480 00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:49.719 was August sixth. It happened in nineteen forty five, and early in the 481 00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:52.400 morning August six, nineteen forty five, a US Air Force B twenty nine, 482 00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:57.920 the Anola Gay, took off from its base near Guam and headed to 483 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:04.760 Hiroshima. It had a nine seven hundred pound top secret bomb named Little Boy. 484 00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:09.920 It was dropped that morning about eight fifteen, and in a blinding flash 485 00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:14.800 and with temperatures as hot as the sun, the bomb detonated, destroying a 486 00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:20.559 five mile radius, killing an estimated eighty thousand people instantly. Tens of thousands 487 00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:24.280 more later died of radiation sickness and injuries, and toward the end of his 488 00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:29.079 life, the pilot of the Enola Gay said, I know we did the 489 00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:32.119 right thing. When I knew we'd be doing what I thought, Yes We're 490 00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:35.239 going to kill a lot of people, but by God, we're going to 491 00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:42.079 save a lot of lives. It's really sobering, but I guess it's good. 492 00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:45.440 It brought an end to the war and hopefully, hopefully we learned a 493 00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:47.239 lesson and won't do that again. Okay, one real quick thing on a 494 00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:51.039 very happy note. You've heard that there's no such thing as a free meal. 495 00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:54.079 That might not be the case.
