WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:17.719 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI at kost HD two Los Angeles and Orange County 3 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:34.280 and a nickname you as Amy Kay. Good morning, It's five o'clock. 4 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:39.679 This is your wake up call for Tuesday, July sixteenth. We're live everywhere 5 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.719 on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Amy King, and I am happy you're gritting. 6 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:49.359 Your day started with us today got my coffee at my kind bar, 7 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:56.880 but being kind was a good way to start my day. So if you're 8 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:03.799 a bargain hunter, Amazon Prime Days have a it's today and tomorrow. I 9 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.400 have never gotten a good day from Amazon Prime Days. I tried. I 10 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.560 think they do it on Cyber Monday. But I'm going to check it out 11 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.200 and see because you're supposed to be able to save a lot. But maybe 12 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.840 I'm just looking for the wrong things. So Amazon Prime, if you're looking 13 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.719 for something from Amazon, maybe today is a good day to check it out 14 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.079 to you. Watch the convention last night, opening night of the Republican National 15 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:34.959 Convention. Pretty interesting. I'm fascinated by all things politics, both sides of 16 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:41.079 the of the ale, and I'll be watching the DNC with anticipation as well. 17 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.560 But I thought it was really interesting. Last night former President Trump showed 18 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.959 up. Wow, what a reception, you know. I mean, the 19 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.959 guy just got shot so ione to try to assassinate the former president and he 20 00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:57.920 was still at the convention. Didn't talk last night. He's expected to give 21 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.879 his speech Onday night. But I thought it was really interesting. Jd Vance 22 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.599 picked his VP probably one of the best kept secrets at a time when everything 23 00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:13.919 leaks. So I think that he found out like twenty minutes before he came 24 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.840 to the convention center that he was going to be the official pick, true 25 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:23.719 Trumpian style. I mean, making it a TV show, would we expect 26 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.599 anything else? I don't think so. And I do think it's fun because 27 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.400 everybody dresses up from the different states as they nominate and say we support him 28 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.520 and all that stuff. Lots of fun hats. My favorite, I think 29 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.360 there was two favorites. There was this red, white, and blue cowboy 30 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.560 hat. It had to have been Texas. They had Trump written across it 31 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.199 with rhyin stones and I always like a little bling, so I thought that 32 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.240 was one of my favorites. And then my other one was it was a 33 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.560 lady and she had her hat had Donkey ears on it and it says Trump 34 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.360 kicks ass. Get it. Okay, anyway, we're gonna be talking more 35 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.439 about that. But here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. Former President Trump, 36 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.800 as I just mentioned, has chosen Ohio Senator JD. Vance as his 37 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.159 running mate. Vance was once a fierce critic of Trump's but has since become 38 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.639 a strong ally. Vance is the first millennial to join a major party ticket. 39 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.759 He's half the age of former President Trump. We're going to get the 40 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.759 latest from the convention and what's ahead tonight with ABC's Jim Ryan. In just 41 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:23.400 a couple of minutes. Governor Newsom has signed into law a bill that bans 42 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.759 any school from requiring parents to be notified if a student changes their pronouns or 43 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.120 starts identifying as a different gender at school. Fire crew has been gaining ground 44 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.840 on the largest wildfire burning in the state. The fire in Santa Barbara County 45 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.719 that started almost two weeks ago is now thirty eight percent surrounded. The acreage 46 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:44.439 burned is holding at thirty eight four hundred and thirty acres, and with more 47 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.240 and more people encountering wildlife, sometimes even in their own backyards. We're going 48 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:52.840 to be talking with the author of Mountain Lions are our neighbors about some things 49 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:54.560 you should know to stay safe. That's coming up at the bottom of the 50 00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.000 hour at six oh five. It's handle on the news if your time is 51 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.039 off, or maybe your throat is off, but if your time is off, 52 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.240 you can blame it on climate change. Bill's going to make sense of 53 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.719 that at the top of next hour. Let's get started with some of the 54 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.319 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A congressional investigation has 55 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:18.199 been opened into how the Secret Service may have failed leading up to the assassination 56 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:25.680 attempt on former President Trump. ABC's Christine Corey Dero says the two House committees 57 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.120 are requesting more information on the shooting in Pennsylvania Saturday that killed one person and 58 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.800 hurt three, including the former president. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced 59 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:39.399 US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle will testify before the committee next Monday. The 60 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.240 Committee on Homeland Security is also asking how the shooter was able to access the 61 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.519 rooftop within range of former President Trump. House Speaker Mike Johnson's officials from Homeland 62 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.399 Security and the FBI will also be called to speak before Congress about what happened. 63 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:57.519 President Biden says he shouldn't have used the word bullseye when referring to how 64 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.800 his campaign should treat former President Trump. He said that was a mistake. 65 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.399 I didn't say crosshairs. I've been bulls I then focus on it, focus 66 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:10.199 on what he's doing, Biden said during an interview with NBC's Leicester Holt yesterday. 67 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:15.519 The threat to democracy is real, and he still wants to put the 68 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:21.199 focus squarely on Trump's record and rhetoric. Heading into November, CDC data shows 69 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:28.000 California has very high coronavirus levels in its wastewater for the first time since last 70 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:33.199 winter. The rate of positive COVID tests in California has almost reached last summer's 71 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:39.079 peak, with a thirteen percent positive rate for reported tests ending July eighth. 72 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.839 That's compared to four point eight percent a month earlier. Coronavirus levels in wastewater 73 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:50.600 have also increased significantly around La County. Let's say good morning to ABC's Jim 74 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:57.560 Ryan so Jim. Shortly after the Republican National Committee or Convention, delegates voted 75 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:03.000 to make former President Trump, the Republican nominee for president. JD. Vance, 76 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.439 was named as the vice presidential pick. Yeah, you have about them. 77 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:11.399 Almost at the same time that that vote was taking place, that vote 78 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.519 of the delegates as to who should be the nominee, no surprise, it 79 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.720 was Donald Trumpet. Around that same time, Trump was on his personal social 80 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:25.240 media platform truth Social, announcing that JD. Vance, the Ohio senator first 81 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:30.040 term senator, had been named as his running mate. He had picked him. 82 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.519 He gave Vance only about twenty minutes to notice that that was going to 83 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.879 happen, so Vance himself an hour beforehand didn't know who was going to be 84 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:42.160 the VP pick. Yeah. It was pretty interesting because I was watching the 85 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.600 shows as I do a lot, and you know, we were getting word. 86 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.399 They're like, oh, Rubio got the call, he's out. Oh 87 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.879 Bergram got the call, he's out. And then there was still that speculation 88 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.360 because it was a really well kept secret. I mean, those guys were 89 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.759 the top three, I think, but still we didn't know. And with 90 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.160 Trump, you never know when he might throw in a wild card, right, 91 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.120 Yeah, And I think he likes that, he likes having the suspense, 92 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.360 and that's kind of what this week is about I mean the in terms 93 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.439 of who would be the nominee and whether the platform would be approved of. 94 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.720 This stuff is all a foregone conclusion. So this was the one bit of 95 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:25.399 suspense to come out of this weekend. In fact, Trump didn't have to 96 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.639 name his running mate this week at all. He was sort of hinting last 97 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:30.920 week that he would, and in fact, yeah, here he is on 98 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.519 day one, not only naming JD. Van Says his running mate, but 99 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.800 then also making an appearance at night one of the convention. There he was. 100 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:45.839 He came into the hall, waved the thousands of adoring Republican fans, 101 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:47.839 and had a bandage on his ear, and then he sat down and listened 102 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.680 to the rest of the evening speeches. He didn't say anything tonight to be 103 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:57.279 maybe back to listen again, but may not say anything at all until Thursday, 104 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.720 when he formally accepts the nomination. Were you in the hall? Are 105 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.480 you outside the home? I was outside last night, out running around getting 106 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.160 reaction to things, talking to delegates about stuff. Okay, so since you 107 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.920 were talking to people, what's the kind of word about the vice presidential pick? 108 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.600 Interesting? Before the pick was made, I was asking folks and those 109 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:24.279 names were constantly coming up Bergham, Rubio and Vance. And afterward then I 110 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.360 talked to some of the folks delegates about their thoughts. Some people thought it 111 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.919 was a great choice. Others said they really didn't know much about JD. 112 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.480 Vance and were waiting withholding judgment on him. And one guy I talked with 113 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:43.279 a Wyoming delegate, he had a Ukraine pin on his jacket right, and 114 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.679 I said, have you heard to the vpach pick's gonna be? And he 115 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.679 said Nolan. I said it was Jdie Vance and he's he said, that's 116 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.639 a terrible choice, and like, what do you mean? And he was 117 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.960 very forthfied about that. He said the Advance is opposed to funding for Ukraine 118 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.360 in its fight against Russia. He accused Vance of being a part of the 119 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.279 extreme wing of the Republican Party. And what's more, that he doesn't have 120 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.159 enough experience as a thirty nine year old first term senator to be vice president. 121 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:18.360 So that does not in my opinion, that doesn't hold water because Obama 122 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.080 was the first term senator too. Well, that's true. Yeah, And 123 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.240 you know, so I think that the time in office is one thing. 124 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.720 The age of the guy if he makes it to the vice president. See, 125 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:35.000 he'll be the youngest elected advice president since Richard Nixon in nineteen fifty two. 126 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.240 And we know how that all turned out. Yeah, that was a 127 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.519 long career. I had a political career that lasted twenty years or so. 128 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:50.000 He'll also be the first vice president with facial hair since the vice president under 129 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.679 Herbert Hoover. Oh see, interesting little things that we looked to you for. 130 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.919 So, Jim, are we getting a sense of why Trump picked Vance? 131 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:07.159 Because Vance a staunch never Trumper changed his tune. But why would Trump 132 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.799 choose that? For an hour? Well, I think part of it is 133 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:16.200 his youth. You know, if Donald Trump expects the MAGA movement to continue 134 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:22.080 after he's gone, then he needs a young person to pick up the flag 135 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.759 and carry it forward, and that could be JD. Vances at only thirty 136 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.440 nine years old. So he may be the face of that wing of the 137 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.639 Republican Party after Trump has gone. He also likes Trump, says he likes 138 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:41.600 his educational pedigree is Yale diploma. He likes the military service that Vance has 139 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.399 under his belt. So you know, I think that's really what he saw 140 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.240 in it. But you're right, I mean, look at Marco Rubio. 141 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.200 He was up there. He was a potential VP running mate for him, 142 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.360 and he was very harsh in his criticism of Trump back in twenty sixteen, 143 00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:00.919 saying during one debate that if Trump hadn't inherited bunch of money, he would 144 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:05.000 have been selling watches on a street corner in Manhattan. That was his line, 145 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.559 you know. But they kissed, they made up, Lion Ted Cruz, 146 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.960 they eventually kissed and made up. Now Cruise is a big supporter of 147 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.440 Donald Trump. So, I mean, it all makes you wonder, Amy 148 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.960 are what's the real thing? Do they actually hate each other? Is that 149 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.320 the real part? Do they actually love each other? Is that real? 150 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.120 Are the friendships real or is it all just you know, people using each 151 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.080 other as stepping stones to get ahead? Well, and another thing or another 152 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:37.399 reason that I've heard that Trump picked Vance was because of hillbilly elegy. I 153 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.679 mean Vance's upbringing in Appalachia and that kind of stuff. He came from nothing. 154 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:46.240 He had drug abuse, he had a physical abuse, he had broken 155 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.919 family, and he still was able to fight through that made you know, 156 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:56.960 made a successful life for himself. And so they talk about how he was 157 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.960 the forgotten man, and that was a big thing for Trump, Say, 158 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.960 the forgotten Man's not going to be forgotten anymore. Yeah, he could be 159 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:09.720 that poor trail. He is the personification of the person that the Trump is 160 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.840 going after in terms of winning votes. Is the sort of quote forgotten person, 161 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.919 the guy who lived a poor upbringing and managed to pull himself up by 162 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:20.799 his bootstrap. So yeah, I think that's part of it. I think 163 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.080 Vance had a lot to offer. And what's more, Trump seems to like 164 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.480 him. Donald Trump Junior likes the guy, and he convinced his dad to 165 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.759 go ahead and consider him at least. Yeah. Okay, so looking around 166 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:37.080 the convention floor, I found my favorite hat. Have you seen any favorite 167 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.679 favorite garb? Giant elephant hat? Yesterday? Which was kind of interesting. 168 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:43.600 What was the one you saw? It was somebody wearing what looked like a 169 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.399 cowboy hat that had Donkey ears on it and it said Trump kicks ass. 170 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:50.879 Huh get it? Democrats? Oh yeah, yeah, okay, I get 171 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:56.840 that. Okay. I always like watching because some of them are really cute 172 00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.080 and fun and some of them just look really stupid. Well, I like 173 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.519 the old traditional you know, the styrofoam skimmer with a bite taken out of 174 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.320 it. That's always the good convention. Head where and what's on tap for 175 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:13.879 today today? The theme yesterday was keep America or make America wealthy again. 176 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:16.759 Today it's make America safe again. That is kind of the theme. Every 177 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:22.600 day has a different theme associated with it. We're going to hear a long 178 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.480 list of speakers. Again, it's only one formal session that happens this evening, 179 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:33.159 but yeah, US Republican Senator David mccortt Senate candidate David McCormick is going 180 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.799 to be one of the speakers there. So you know, these are the 181 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.159 reason people speak at these events is they are considered rising stars within the party. 182 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.879 That's why you had Christy Noam, the South Dakota governor, who had 183 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:50.159 a lot of airtime yesterday. And so that I think it gives you a 184 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.679 peek into what the party considers to be its future, and that would be 185 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.480 David McCormick at least in this instance. Okay, and we'll be watching and 186 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:01.559 then in a few weeks we'll be watching the Demoocredit National Convention. I'm fascinated 187 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.360 by these. I hope the weather is better there. It's been miserable here 188 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.559 raining or just hot and muggy, hot, muggy, rainy, hot, 189 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.679 mugg It's sort of the cycle, and you get to be outside for part 190 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.600 of it, good luck most of it. I've sweated through my shirt three 191 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.799 times in the last day. All right, ABC's Jim Ryan, thanks again. 192 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:18.480 We'll be talking to you later this week more about the convention. Thanks 193 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:24.279 hemmy. The UC Board of Regents says protests on campus are allowed, but 194 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.279 encampments are not. In a statement issued yesterday, the board said, you 195 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.600 see, campuses need to consistently follow the rules of enforcement. The policy was 196 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:39.600 announced months after pro Palestinian protesters set up camps, blocked students' access to campus, 197 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:45.120 sprayed graffiti, and damaged campus buildings and walkways. Special counsel Jack Smith 198 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:50.279 says he will appeal a Florida federal judge's dismissal of the classified documents case against 199 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:56.240 former President Trump. Judge Eileen Cannon throughout the case yesterday, saying Smith's appointment 200 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.559 as a special prosecutor violated the Constitution. Gonna be talking more about this and 201 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:07.000 what's possibly next with ABC's Peter Harlem Boosts in about half hour. Visitors to 202 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.720 the California State Fair will be able to reach new highs. Visitors can now 203 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.759 legally smoke pot at the Fair and Sacramento for the very first time, fifteen 204 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:22.440 dispensaries are offering products from across California in a cannabis consumption lounge. It's for 205 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.840 people twenty one and up. It's fenced off and is away from rides and 206 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.320 exhibits. The lounge will be open every day of the fair through July twenty 207 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.799 eighth at six oh five. Handle on the news. Elon Musks is he's 208 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:37.200 donating millions and millions of dollars every month to a new pro Trump superpack. 209 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.879 Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. So Jordana, 210 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:50.840 Israel carried out a pretty significant air strike. Says they got a top dog, 211 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:58.960 but Hamasa's maybe not right. Israel carried out a major airstrike on Saturday 212 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:07.840 in the Israeli declared humanitarian zone of Almasi. They said they targeted Mohammed Deaf, 213 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.480 who is Hamas's military leader, the number two leader in the rank, 214 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:17.360 just right behind Ya Jesinoir, who's the political leader of Hamas. In the 215 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:22.879 Godza strip, the Israeli armies says it's still unclear if he is dead, 216 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:29.039 though they do believe they killed his deputy, Rafa Saloma. In the process 217 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:33.919 of that airstrike, which was very heavy. At least ninety people were killed 218 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:41.240 Gosins and it looks like dozens of them were women and children, civilians, 219 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:47.679 Okay, and so that just seems like a lot, Like we hear about 220 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.559 three or four killed at a time, but to hear ninety, that's a 221 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:56.279 lot at one time. But they're saying that that's where the guy was and 222 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.519 they need to take these guys out. So it's a risk assessing. Yeah, 223 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.640 I mean, is Israel defending Yeah, Israel's defending the strike. First 224 00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:08.680 of all, they were hiding in a kind of shed in this humanitarian zone 225 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:15.599 surrounded it was shrouded with lots of trees, et cetera. But so it 226 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:22.319 wasn't the exact impact site was not or the exact target was not among civilians. 227 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:29.680 But these you know, when you're dropping five hundred pound bombs, then 228 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.079 you know the impact site will go out for a half mile around, and 229 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:41.200 that's what ended up killing the civilians. And you know, unfortunately we've seen 230 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.960 this before. This is kind of common. Sadly, Yeah, and Nathan 231 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:55.200 Yahoo is thinking that his these kind of things are going to soften soften Hamas 232 00:17:55.200 --> 00:18:02.039 positions to the deal. That he right, I mean, he says this 233 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:07.839 is the kind of attack that will weaken Hamas and bring them to the table. 234 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.480 Now, if Mohammad Deaf, the number two Hamas leader, was killed, 235 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:18.839 that may be true, because then it would put Sinowar's influence within Hamas. 236 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:23.559 It would it would definitely weaken his position. And remember Hamas is split 237 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.160 between the leaders who are in Doha Cutter and those that are in the Gaza 238 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:30.400 Strip. But again, we don't know if Death has been killed, and 239 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:37.000 there's certainly some who argue these kind of strikes will only harden Hamasa's position. 240 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.160 Initially we heard Hamas say we're going to stop the talks. Then we heard 241 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.759 no, they're still going to stay in the talks. But I think it's 242 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:51.039 too soon to know if they're actually going to change some of their positions or 243 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.720 not. It's only been a few days, and you know, the Israeli 244 00:18:53.839 --> 00:19:00.240 army, you know, probably take them another day or two to fit figure 245 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.880 out if Death is actually dead, and then we may see the impact of 246 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.559 that, but you know, the argument that it may weakend Hamas and bring 247 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.920 them to the table. You know, some are questioning that right and speaking 248 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:17.559 of the table, the cease fire talks are still continuing or are they paused 249 00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.960 for right now? They are still Yeah, they are still ongoing. There's 250 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.160 been no breakdown in the talks. Having said that, the head of the 251 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:29.960 Mossad, David Farnea, was meant to go to Cutter this week and we 252 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:37.240 haven't heard when exactly he's leaving for that visit to continue talks. You remember, 253 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.319 this is a three phase deal and you know they're trying to hammer out 254 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:47.480 the details that would give us six weeks of a pause in fighting and during 255 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:52.079 those six weeks a discussion about a permanent end to the war and about thirty 256 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:56.000 two hostages that would come out, though it has to be said not all 257 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.640 of those would be alive, some would be bodies, and then Israel in 258 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.880 return would free uh, you know, at a rate of three or five 259 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:10.599 to one tell jailed Palestinians. Okay, so the talks are still really you 260 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.640 know the really yeah, it's still going. But it comes down to two 261 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.680 people really who have to make a decision that would really move us forward towards 262 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.799 a ceasefire in the end of the war. And that's the Israeli Prime Minister 263 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.839 Benjamin Antanielle and the leader of Hamas Jah Cassinoir. And until those two men 264 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.400 are ready to move forward, we're going to be in this kind of holding 265 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:34.960 spot, back and forth, back and forth without any real decisions. So 266 00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:40.680 right now, you know, we're in another one of those shuttles between negotiators 267 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:47.160 and and really with no definitive position in sight. Okay, and we'll continue 268 00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.920 to watch. You know, last week we were very hopeful, but now 269 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:56.400 we just nothing, yeah, nothing big to report on the breakthrough, so 270 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.200 we unfortunately not all right, Jordana Olli, thank you so much for your 271 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.440 time and information this morning. Appreciate it. We'll talk saying all right, 272 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:07.880 take care. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 273 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.440 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A woman in Long Beach has pleaded not guilty 274 00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:15.720 to shoplifting more than thirty times from the same store the Long Beach City Prosecutor's 275 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:21.160 offices. Florence Miller swiped about six thousand dollars worth of stuff from TJ Max 276 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.680 over a period of nine months. The most recent theft was in June. 277 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:30.160 Prosecutor Say Miller was on probation for misdemeanor theft during five of the alleged crimes. 278 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.960 A person's been detained in connection with a fatal workplace shooting in an industry. 279 00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.759 A man working at the business was killed yesterday morning. The ely Kenis 280 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:42.880 Sheriff's Department says the person detained is a former employee at that location. A 281 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.079 judge has ordered Santa Anna to remove the words taxpayers and parents from a ballot 282 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.200 measure to let non citizens vote. The judge ruled paying taxes and parenting a 283 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.400 child is irrelevant to the question should non citizens be allowed to vote. Lawyer 284 00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:02.000 James Lacy says the council was trying to rig the elee with misleading language because 285 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:04.640 who wouldn't agree that taxpayers and parents should be allowed to vote. It didn't 286 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:08.480 informed voters that if they voted in favor of the initiative, they'd also be 287 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:12.759 voting in favor of non citizens, wool worked, taxpayers, and who didn't 288 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:17.400 have children. The judge last week ordered the change before ballots are sent out 289 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:21.119 next month. Santa Anna declined to comment in Santa Anna, Corbin, Carson 290 00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.720 camp I News Representative Nancy Pelosi and other Bay Area leaders have commemorated the completion 291 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:33.599 of the Golden gate Bridge suicide deterrent system, known as the NET. This 292 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:38.000 is an iconic bridge in the world, just source of pride to us, 293 00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:44.000 but it has been a source of pain to families and we want that to 294 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:48.759 stop. It must stop, and it will stop. The NET was completed 295 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.559 earlier this year. The Golden gate Bridge Highway and Transportation Districts is even with 296 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.920 the NET under construction. In twenty twenty three, the number of suicides on 297 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.799 the bridge decreased by more than half. Okay, everybody has a bad night, 298 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:07.839 right, but this takes it to a whole new level. Yes, 299 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:30.240 read bus, yeahpool, the night lot of was Yeah, Sorry, I 300 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:36.599 was. Country singer Ingrid Andres. She's taking a lot of heat for her 301 00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:41.759 performance last night at the National Anthem before the twenty twenty four home run derby 302 00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.960 in Arlington, Texas. She's already trending, of course, on social media. 303 00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:51.279 A lot of people are calling it the worst National Anthem performance in American 304 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.759 history. I think Roseanne Barr must be breathing a bit of a sigh of 305 00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.839 relief. This morning, the FBI has completed in search of the home of 306 00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:03.519 the man who tried to assassinate former President Trump. That bureau says several suspicious 307 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.559 devices were found inside the home of the shooter, who lived with his family. 308 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.079 The man was shot and killed moments after he shot Trump and three others 309 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.559 at a rally on Saturday. Two point seven million more children around the world 310 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:21.599 are under vaccinated compared to before the pandemic in twenty nineteen. The World Health 311 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.960 Organization says over the last five years, measles outbreaks have hit one hundred three 312 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.240 countries and says low vaccination rates are a major factor. The Natural History of 313 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:36.319 Museum in la is going green. Green dinosaur that is the only dinosaur ever 314 00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:41.000 found that has green bones is going on display at the museum. The dino, 315 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.119 named Natalie, was a long necked, long tailed herbivore who lived during 316 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.359 the late Jurassic period. Her bones were discovered in Utah in two thousand and 317 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.240 seven. At six oh five, a handle on the news a judge has 318 00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:56.759 dismissed the classified document's case against former President Trump. At that night might not 319 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:02.480 be the end of the story. Let's say good to the regional executive director 320 00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:07.680 of the California Wildlife Federation, the leader of Save La Cougar's campaign, and 321 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.519 the author of Mountain Lions Are Our Neighbors. It's Beth Pratt. Good morning, 322 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:14.960 Beth, good morning. Thanks for having me, well, thanks for 323 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.599 making time to come on. I wanted to talk to you today because you're 324 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.960 a wildlife expert. And last week we had the story of the guy who 325 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:27.799 was doing this marathon bucket list run and he got to almost the end of 326 00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:30.920 the race. I don't know if he was racing for a time, but 327 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:37.079 he got like to the end and he literally ran into a bear in Yosemite 328 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:41.319 National Park. The bear kind of swiped at him and then was charging at 329 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:44.440 him, and you know, I mean, like, what do you do 330 00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.240 in that situation? And I was like, there are so many more encounters 331 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.039 with wildlife these days. I think we need to know because your responses to 332 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:56.680 different animals need to be different exactly. You know, for me, it's 333 00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.839 becoming familiar. Wildlife are our neighbors that they always have been, they will 334 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:06.000 continue to be, and especially as we again continue to build more and more 335 00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:11.200 and exist more and more in their habitat encounters are going to increase now ninety 336 00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.200 nine point nine percent of encounters with wildlife, and fine for everybody, but 337 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.200 you do these examples like the one in the assembite that recently happened. I 338 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:23.119 think it's important to note the bear I think had some food actually some garbage 339 00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:27.400 which somebody had unfortunately let it get, which is an unnatural food source for 340 00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:30.720 it. And so my guess is for the bear. Of course I can't 341 00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:34.720 get into the bear's head and was not there, but was you know, 342 00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:40.960 seeing that this runner was a threat to a boop of its food source and 343 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.160 it was probably saying get out of here, this is mine, you know. 344 00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:47.039 I think it's also important to note that, you know, running is 345 00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:52.960 something that can be risky behavior, especially around large predators. So you know, 346 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:57.960 attacks are still really rare, there is in Yosemite. They're almost you 347 00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:02.920 know, non existent. They do happen here and there, and there's never 348 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.960 been, at least in recent history, a fatality of a bear attack in 349 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.200 the park. But you know, you are in their home, especially in 350 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.519 a place like Yosemite, and if you know, if a bear is on 351 00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.599 a food source, that's something they're going to try to defend, right Okay, 352 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.599 So, so, Beth, if you do have an encounter with a 353 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.359 bear, because a lot of people are out hiking in the woods and that 354 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.680 kind of stuff in a long trail, right, if you happen upon a 355 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.920 bear, I mean, it's unlikely that you're going to run into a bear 356 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:36.000 like that guy did, because most of us don't do fifteen mile runs. 357 00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:41.160 But if you do, what what do you do? Yeah, you know, 358 00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.480 it really does depend on the bear of the situation. But in Yosemite 359 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.880 we only have one species of bear, the grizzly bear was hunted to extinctionion 360 00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:53.440 here, so we do have the black bear. And if you know, 361 00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:59.680 for black bears, and you know, I know that the definitive view is, 362 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.920 you know, to play dead. But again, it really does depend 363 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:08.200 on the bear and what's happening. Right, So with black bears, you 364 00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:12.200 really want to look as large as possible. You want to you know, 365 00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:18.160 don't run, right, you know, really do stop and hold your ground, 366 00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:22.079 don't climb a tree. Black bears trees and stuff. Yeah, yeah, 367 00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.880 I mean they are you know, yeah, they're much more skilled at 368 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.240 playing trees. They can also run faster than us. You know, I 369 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.680 know that it probably does take a lot of self control not to just dash. 370 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:38.400 And also if you're if you know, if you are actually attacked, 371 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:42.079 right, if if like with distances of the runner, if the black bear 372 00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:45.480 actually starts swiping, you don't play dead, right, That's I think what 373 00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:49.279 we've all been taught, and that that's not appropriate in this situation. You 374 00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:53.599 do want to escape and you know, try to fight back if if, 375 00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:56.400 if you can. But you know, the best thing you can do, 376 00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:03.480 especially is you just try to assess the situation. If if it's not a 377 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.480 situation where like this runner, you were swiped and actually attacked. If you 378 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.119 know, is the bear with cubs, is the bear eating Are you in 379 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.319 a situation that you know may up the potential for contract like conflict. Those 380 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.720 are two factors that can happen. But you know, try try to be 381 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:23.720 aware, look large, and just be always aware of your surroundings. You 382 00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:29.200 know, you know, the defendantive view is do not run right, And 383 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:30.960 that's why I think with this trail runner, and I'm somebody who runs on 384 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.359 trails, so I get it, it is an activity you want to undertake, 385 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:37.640 but that does just put you a little you know, at some extra 386 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.200 risk, Okay, And is it the same with mountain lions? Like your 387 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.000 reaction is that I know you're not supposed to run when you see a mountain 388 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.440 lion exactly. You know, for for most of these presator species, running 389 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.160 is a trigger. You know, it makes you know you appear like prey 390 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.000 or or is a trigger for a lot of these animals. So yeah, 391 00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:02.200 it's the same thing from mountlines, same thing you want to appear very large. 392 00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:06.279 Now, mount lions and bears behave very differently. So that's why you 393 00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:10.160 know, I say my book When Mount Lions and Neighbors the Reasons, it's 394 00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:15.319 titled that these are our neighbors much like our human neighbors. Right, we 395 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.960 learn their different behaviors and we have you know, types of neighbors that are 396 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:22.119 easier to get along with, or we know what their triggers are. It's 397 00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:26.440 the same with animals. I feel like education goes a long way. For 398 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.920 mount lions. Learning about their behavior can help you assess them. You know, 399 00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:37.400 when you see people who do have encounters, usually the behaviors misinterpreted. 400 00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.079 Like you hear about mount lions stalking you. If you're seeing a mount lion 401 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.640 who is considering you, he's not stalking you. He's probably looking at you 402 00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:49.319 as I'm trying to assess if you're a threat to me. Mount lions are 403 00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:53.759 stealth predators, and if you know a mount lions, if you see a 404 00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.119 mount lion, it is likely he is not in hunt mode. He is 405 00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:03.839 more assessing the situation because wouldn't see him, You wouldn't see him, you 406 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.519 wouldn't know what They are called ghost cats. They have been among us, 407 00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.039 and I always say it's more likely a mountain side and sees you than you 408 00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.279 see them. But yeah, just know when you're in a mount lion country 409 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.359 and if you see one, you want to pack. You appear as big 410 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:21.839 as possible. If you have a pack, pick it up. You know, 411 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.480 look threatening. Keep the mounta line in your sight line, but don't 412 00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:30.200 look at directly in the eye. And we've you know, tried to leave 413 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.920 the situation is as quickly as possible, But do not run. If a 414 00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:40.799 mountline does, in the very rare instance, try to attack you, and 415 00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:45.920 a mountline charging is not attacking. There was that famous viral video of a 416 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:51.240 runner of some years ago where the mountlon kept running up to it and stopping. 417 00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:55.920 That's actually a mountain lion saying get out of here. That Mount Lion 418 00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:59.400 was not attacking. So but if a mountlon does, you know, in 419 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:01.839 the very rare and since you know, start attacking you, which would you 420 00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:06.400 know, be leaping on you and doing something fight back? Yeah, that 421 00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:09.000 is absolutely what you want to do. Okay, Well, that's good to 422 00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:13.640 know that it's very rare. And even though it is rare, when these 423 00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:16.000 kinds of things happen, you know, the tackles on the back of your 424 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:17.799 neck go up and I'll go, oh my god, what would I do 425 00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:22.559 if that happened to me? So good information. Don't run and try to 426 00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:28.519 make yourself look big, don't look them in the eyes, and be aware 427 00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:31.000 of your surroundings. Hopefully that will avoid the encounter in the first place. 428 00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:35.440 I think that's the biggest thing. Be aware of your surroundings. You're going 429 00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:37.839 to behave very differently and take you know, obviously, if you're walking down 430 00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:44.200 you know, sunset in Los Angeles, you know your surroundings are a little 431 00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:46.359 different than being in Yosemite, where you know, running down sunset is not 432 00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:50.799 as risky as you know doing a trail run in Yosemite. But again I 433 00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:52.880 always like to stress this. You know, take the little time to learn 434 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:57.559 about your wildlife neighbors, what does this behavior from what coyote mean? And 435 00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.920 then you're better able to do the right thing. And just know, I 436 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:06.079 always like to stress this again. Ninety nine point nine percent of wildlife encounters 437 00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:10.599 and fine in California with what we have forty million people in the state and 438 00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:15.880 over one hundred years there have been about two dozen attacks. That risk is 439 00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:21.359 so low. I mean that's almost nothing you can Yeah, you compare that 440 00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:25.960 with we lose four thousand people a year in this state to our roads, 441 00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:30.279 right, so you're way more risky getting in your car. So it's never 442 00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:34.559 zero risk, but it is so low risk and it is possible to live 443 00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.400 with our wild neighbors. What a fine note to end this interview on Bethratt. 444 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.440 Pratt, thank you so much for your time and your information today. 445 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.759 Stay safe out on those trails.

LA Metro says it's new Tap to Exit pilot program 462 00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:55.760 is working. Officials say since it started requiring people to use their Metro cards 463 00:34:55.760 --> 00:35:00.679 to tap out to leave the North Hollywood Metro rail station in late May, 464 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:05.639 crime is down more than forty percent. Officials say they're looking at expanding the 465 00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:09.280 program. Former Early Kenny Sheriff Jim McDonald is reportedly on the shortlist of candidates 466 00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:15.960 to become LAPD's next chief. After the initial round of interviews, ten candidates 467 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:20.679 are still in the running, including McDonald. Former chief Michael Moore retired in 468 00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:23.320 February. We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning, the 469 00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:29.239 author of the critically acclaimed Hillbilly Elegies may become the new vice president. Right 470 00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:34.280 now, let's say good morning to ABC's Peter Harrolumbus. Peter, good morning, 471 00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:37.199 Good morning Amy, Thanks for having me, Thanks for coming on. 472 00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:45.639 So a federal judge dismissed former President Trump's classified documents case. But I want 473 00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:51.480 to find out from you what exactly happened because the judge didn't rule that Trump 474 00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:57.199 didn't do anything wrong. Yeah, that's right. So Judge Cannon didn't really 475 00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:00.880 make this ruling dismissing the entire case on the of the case, on the 476 00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:05.239 merits of it, anything about the alleged retention of classified documents or the alleged 477 00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:09.239 obstruction of justice. Instead, it really focused on the authority of the Special 478 00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:14.119 Council who brought the case. Jack Smith, and really a stunning decision from 479 00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:19.800 Judge Eileen Cannon Trump's on a motion Trump's lawyers made back in February. Cannon 480 00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:25.280 dismissed the entire case because she found that Special Council Jack Smith wasn't constitutionally appointed 481 00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:30.000 or funded, and she ultimately found that his appointment was unconstitutional, and that 482 00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:35.519 alone was enough to dismiss the entire case. We've already heard back from Special 483 00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:38.599 Council Jack Smith's team. They planned to appeal this ruling, but this really 484 00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.440 delays the case. It could take months, even years, and the appeal 485 00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:45.760 could go all the way back up to the Supreme Court. Oh, I 486 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:46.760 was going to ask you that, Okay, So I went to back up 487 00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:52.079 because the judge ruler was unconstitutional? How is it unconstitutional? Can you unpack 488 00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:57.440 that for us a little bit? Sure? So, Judge Cannon's decision really 489 00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:01.199 focused on the appointment's clause as part of the compitution that focuses on who has 490 00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:07.119 the authority to appoint an officer of the government. So Special Council jack Smith 491 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.440 was a private citizen when he was appointed to be Special Counsel. He was 492 00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:16.519 appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland. According to Cannon, Smith should have been 493 00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:22.840 appointed by the President and confirmed by Congress, and because that wasn't done, 494 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:27.599 Cannon thought he didn't really have the authority to carry out this prosecution. Uh 495 00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:30.400 huh, Okay, so it's really he Trump got off on a technicality on 496 00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:36.199 this one. Yeah. It wasn't anything about the allegations in the case. 497 00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:39.519 It was this technicality about whether or not Special Council Jack Smith had the authority 498 00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:43.760 to proceed. And a lot of people thought that this was kind of a 499 00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:46.039 long shot argument that's been rejected time and time again in the past, but 500 00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:50.280 it wasn't rejected this time with Judge Cannon, who saw it as enough of 501 00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:54.480 a legal argument to toss this entire case. Okay, And in the past, 502 00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:59.960 then you said that other cases have gone differently. So in other insight, 503 00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:07.199 special counsels have been appointed and they have also not gone through what technically 504 00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:10.960 would be the appropriate process. Yeah, so that's right. So if we 505 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.360 look back to other special councils like Robert Mueller, for example, Robert hur 506 00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:22.079 who looked into President Biden's a ledged retention of classified documents, these are people 507 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:25.559 who faced similar challenges in terms of their authority to carry out their prosecutions. 508 00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:30.400 In the case of Mueller, for example, we saw that attempt thrown out 509 00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:36.719 on two separate occasions. With David Weiss, the Special Council who is looking 510 00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:40.199 into Hunter Biden, the same argument has failed. So it kind of took 511 00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:44.920 everyone by surprise yesterday when this case was thrown out, given the fact that 512 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:49.519 these challenges to kind of a standard practice for the last two decades, you 513 00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:52.639 know, ended up with a successful results for Trump's team. Okay, so 514 00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:55.840 it looks like an appeal is next and then we'll watch what happens after that. 515 00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:00.920 That's exactly right, all right, Peter howl Booth, thank you so 516 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.840 much for your information and helping us kind of unpack it, because I know 517 00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:07.119 it's always a little confusing. We don't know exactly what the ruling means, 518 00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:09.639 so appreciate it. Yes, that's really my questions. All right, we'll 519 00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:15.119 talk to you again soon.
