44
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 2>in a mobile shooting range fire during a mandatory training exercise.

45
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>The suit alleges negligence and seeks to stop the use

46
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 2>of mobile ranges to prevent future tragedies.

47
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 3>The body of twenty.

48
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.800

00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>a crime involved. The San Bernardino Corners Office is investigating.

52
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 2>UCSB has extended condolences and is offering support to the

53
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 2>campus community. A spring heat wave is building in Socaw,

00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.280

64
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.479

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>newly released photos show the bruises, drugs, and fear as

66
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>federal prosecutors reveal disturbing images supporting Cassie Ventura's abuse claims

<v Speaker 2>against Sean Diddy Comb's we're going to have the latest

68
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 2>from the courtroom. And a five point thirty five is

69
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 2>a recession on the horizon. Experts say there's a thirty

70
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 2>to fifty percent chance the US economy could take a

71
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 2>downturn this year, and we're going to tell you what

<v Speaker 2>Then at six ZHO five it's handle on the news.

78
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>We're going to talk about the first aid trucks that

79
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 2>are entering God after nearly three months of Israel's blockade.

80
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's get started with some of the stories coming out

81
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 2>of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A college student

82
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 2>missing in Big Bear has been found dead.

83
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 5>The Sanda Bernardino County Sheriff's Office says the body of

84
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 5>twenty two year old Tanner Prentice was located in the

85
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 5>water near Pine Nott Marina yesterday morning. The UC Santa

86
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 5>Barbara student had been at Big Bear with a group

87
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 5>of friends. He was last seen alive just after midnight

88
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 5>on Saturday. They had all been staying at a cabin,

89
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 5>but Prentice didn't return that night. Investigators say they don't

90
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 5>suspect foul play. Prentis's LinkedIn page says he expected to

91
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 5>graduate from UCSB next year. Michael Monks KFI News. The

92
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 5>news is brought to you by American Vision Windows.

93
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Investigators say the man who set off a bomb outside

94
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 2>of a reproductive center in Palm Springs may have shot

95
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>test videos. Twenty five year old Guy Bartkiss died in

96
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 2>the explosion Saturday. Investigators say he posted videos on YouTube

97
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 2>months ago showing various homemade explosives. One of them shows

98
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 2>a large explosion in a desert area. The YouTube account

99
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 2>linked with the videos has been deactivated with the videos

100
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>and they can no longer be found online. Former FBI

101
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 2>official Robin Drake told KTLA he thinks this incident could

102
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 2>lead to the start of a new area of investigation

103
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 2>for the FBI.

104
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 6>This is really going to be, I think a new

105
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.759
<v Speaker 6>data point for the FBI to start creating profiles and

106
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 6>doing some deep research on this, because you know, if

107
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 6>you have one, there's potentially others.

108
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 2>The FBI says bart Kiss, who was killed, and they

109
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 2>believe he is the one who set the explosion and

110
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 2>he is anti pro life. All right, right, Let's take

111
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 2>a quick look at your traffic with a crash on

112
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>the sixth, so five and Wittier.

113
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we've got some problems on the six and you know,

114
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 4>I think they give you the wrong teas there or

115
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.040
<v Speaker 4>didn't you know what maybe that was from yesterday. Let's

116
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 4>talk about something different. How about the five in the

117
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.279
<v Speaker 4>Commerce area. It's going to be the five southbound right

118
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 4>around Garfield. Two vehicles, one of them is overturned. It's

119
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.319
<v Speaker 4>all in the right lane, and traffic stopped all the

120
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:59.040
<v Speaker 4>way back from Washington as a result. It's tough there.

121
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 4>We've already got some backup in the Inland Empire as well.

122
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 4>Two fifteen northbound at Martin Luther King. That's a car

123
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 4>fire that got things backed up to the sixties. They

124
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 4>worked to clean up that mess. And on the four

125
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 4>oh five, I missed this one just barely, thankful, least

126
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 4>southbound side of the four h five down there by

127
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 4>a Ventura Boulevard. A crash in lanes, and traffic quickly

128
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 4>stopped all the way back from the oneh one. Really

129
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 4>slow there as you try to head towards the Subpulvita Pass.

130
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.160
<v Speaker 4>With Southern California's most accurate traffic reports, I'm wi Cole Schreiber.

131
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, will all right.

132
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.920
<v Speaker 2>On Monday, President Trump held separate calls with Russian President

133
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski, aiming to end

134
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.560
<v Speaker 2>what he calls the bloodbath in Ukraine. Heyfi, White House

135
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>correspondent John Decker is here to help us break down

136
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.160
<v Speaker 2>the significance of these calls.

137
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.319
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, John, Hey, good morning to you, Heather.

138
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 7>Well.

139
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 8>They were significant, and this was just the third phone

140
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 8>conversation that President Trump has had with President Putin since

141
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.759
<v Speaker 8>he took office for his second term. It was a

142
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 8>two hour plus conversation. We got that from both the

143
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 8>Kremlin and the White House. The President very optimistic, but

144
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.120
<v Speaker 8>the fact of the matter is, nothing's really changed. Two

145
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 8>and a half months ago, Ukraine agreed to a thirty

146
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.519
<v Speaker 8>day ceasefire, that was a proposal put on the table

147
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 8>by the US. But two and a half months later,

148
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 8>Russia has still not agreed to that thirty day ceasefire.

149
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.519
<v Speaker 8>And even after that call that President Trump had with

150
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.040
<v Speaker 8>President Putin yesterday, they're no closer to getting Russia to

151
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 8>agree to that thirty day cease fire.

152
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 2>So Trump's call reportedly lasted over two hours and was

153
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 2>described as quote very informative. So do we have any sense,

154
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 2>any nuggets of information about what was actually discussed in

155
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 2>that two hour phone.

156
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 8>Call, Well, some nuggets. I was in the Oval office

157
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 8>late in the afternoon yesterday. I asked the President some

158
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:56.040
<v Speaker 8>question in regards to his conversation with President Putin, And

159
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 8>you know what the President said was he thought that

160
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 8>this was positive in the sense that what Russia has

161
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 8>agreed to is to continue conversations with Ukraine, but not

162
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 8>at the leadership level. You're not going to see a

163
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 8>face to face meeting at this stage between President Putin

164
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.120
<v Speaker 8>and President Zelenski. The President mentioned the idea of increasing

165
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.600
<v Speaker 8>trade if a peace deal is reached between Russia and Ukraine.

166
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:23.720
<v Speaker 8>That with that is trade between Russia and the US.

167
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.120
<v Speaker 8>But you know, look, I can't think of one product

168
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 8>from Russia that Americans desire. I mean, there's it's not

169
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 8>like it's a huge market that the US desires to

170
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.919
<v Speaker 8>increase trade. Russia would certainly could use a lot. Their

171
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.720
<v Speaker 8>economies been devastated by sanctions placed upon them, and there's

172
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 8>the threat of more sanctions being placed upon the Russian government,

173
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:49.000
<v Speaker 8>not only from the US, but from Europe as well.

174
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.440
<v Speaker 2>The only thing I could think of immediately was vodka, obviously,

175
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:53.879
<v Speaker 2>but that feels very stereotype.

176
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:57.200
<v Speaker 8>We got Russian.

177
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.159
<v Speaker 2>Vactor you want a stereotype. Let's talk about what Trup mentioned.

178
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>He mentioned that the Vatican might host negotiations.

179
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 3>What is that about.

180
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Is there any historical precedent there for the Vatican playing

181
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 2>this kind of role.

182
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think that Pope Leo, the newly installed pope,

183
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.840
<v Speaker 8>you know, realizes that this particular war is at a

184
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 8>stalemate three years on and no movement in terms of

185
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.799
<v Speaker 8>moving to peace, and he's offered his good offices to

186
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:29.279
<v Speaker 8>try to reach or at least get on a pathway

187
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 8>to peace. And the President taking up Pope Leo on

188
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.919
<v Speaker 8>that particular offer, but there's nothing firm. There's no meeting

189
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.799
<v Speaker 8>that is on the schedule in the course of the

190
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 8>next few days, the next few weeks taking place at

191
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.960
<v Speaker 8>the Vatican involving Ukraine and Russia. Will have to see,

192
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.440
<v Speaker 8>you know, whether or not that actually gains any traction.

193
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 3>So at this point, it seems like there really was no.

194
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Major movement towards any sort of resolution, which is what

195
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I think everyone was sort of hoping for.

196
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 8>Is that right? That is right, and that's unfortunate. You know,

197
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.000
<v Speaker 8>it's been frustrating for the president. He's expressed that frustration.

198
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.679
<v Speaker 8>I heard it yesterday from the White House Press Secretary

199
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 8>Caroline Levitt, you know, talking about the president's frustration that

200
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 8>he's had in terms of trying to end this war,

201
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.759
<v Speaker 8>get on a pathway to peace. But even after a

202
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 8>two hour plus conversation yesterday, it just doesn't sound like

203
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 8>we're any closer to bringing an end to that war.

204
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:33.679
<v Speaker 8>And those attacks by Russia on civilian areas, drone attacks

205
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:38.039
<v Speaker 8>on civilian areas in Ukraine, they continue, even after the

206
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.279
<v Speaker 8>President had this conversation with President Putin.

207
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, we'll continue to keep a close eye on

208
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.200
<v Speaker 2>this story, John, thank you so much for your time.

209
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:47.600
<v Speaker 8>Thanks a lot, Heather, have a great day.

210
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:48.080
<v Speaker 9>Bye bye.

211
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.039
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get back to some of the stories

212
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.759
<v Speaker 2>coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Former

213
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:55.039
<v Speaker 2>President Biden's office says the eighty two year old and

214
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:59.240
<v Speaker 2>his family are continuing to review cancer treatment options. ABC's

215
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Avery Harper says there are reasons for the timeline of

216
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Biden's diagnosis.

217
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:05.399
<v Speaker 3>Healthcare is individualized.

218
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.919
<v Speaker 10>It's based on a person's health, their personal risk factors,

219
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:11.840
<v Speaker 10>family history, and presidents are just the same, and there's

220
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 10>also no standard for what a president divulges about their

221
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:16.840
<v Speaker 10>medical evaluations.

222
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.639
<v Speaker 2>She also says there's no standards in terms of what

223
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 2>tests a president gets during a physical exam. The federal

224
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.559
<v Speaker 2>government has settled a lawsuit filed by the family of

225
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Ashley Babbitt, the woman from San Diego who was shot

226
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>and killed by a policeman during the riot at the

227
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.200
<v Speaker 2>US Capitol on January sixth. ABC Stephen Portnoy says the

228
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 2>settlement is opposed by the head of the Capitol Police.

229
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.320
<v Speaker 5>Chief, Tom Manger, notes that more than four years ago,

230
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.240
<v Speaker 5>the Justice Department cleared the officer who fired the deadly

231
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:45.960
<v Speaker 5>shot that killed Ashley Babbitt.

232
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Tom Angers says the roughly five million dollar government payment

233
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 2>sends a bad message to law enforcement nationwide. Millions of

234
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 2>people in several states are on the lookout for tornadoes

235
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.679
<v Speaker 2>and dangerous storms yet again today. Meteorologist Ginger z says

236
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 2>they're the same areas hit over the weekend parts.

237
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Of western Tennessee and western Kentucky, Northern.

238
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.279
<v Speaker 8>Mississippi, too Lake, Huntsville, or Tupelo, Mississippi.

239
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:11.240
<v Speaker 7>Memphis included.

240
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>More than a dozen people were killed in tornadoes and

241
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:18.200
<v Speaker 2>storms from the Heartland to the south. CBS News CEO

242
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Wendy McMahon says she's quitting.

243
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.799
<v Speaker 7>It's the latest fallout at the network as its parent

244
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:25.960
<v Speaker 7>company considers settling a lawsuit with President Trump over a

245
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.039
<v Speaker 7>sixty Minutes interview. McMahon said in an email to staff,

246
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:31.240
<v Speaker 7>it's become clear she and the company don't agree on

247
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 7>the path forward. McMahon has made clear she opposes settling

248
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.840
<v Speaker 7>with Trump, just like former sixty Minutes executive producer Bill Owens,

249
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.120
<v Speaker 7>who resigned last month. Trump is potentially in settlement talks

250
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 7>with Paramount Global over his lawsuit claiming sixty Minutes edited

270
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 2>is kind of the official kickoff of summer, right, Well,

271
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:42.840
<v Speaker 2>do you feel like it is too?

272
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, that's when things start, you know, they start

273
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:46.240

274
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:46.960
<v Speaker 11>The apartment go over.

275
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, we all kind of mentally check out. Also,

276
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.440
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be like one thousand degrees in LA today,

277
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.919
<v Speaker 2>so we all are kind of ready. I think maybe

278
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.360
<v Speaker 2>in that summer mindset.

279
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:56.519
<v Speaker 12>Yep, yep.

280
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get back to some news, shall we.

281
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:01.799
<v Speaker 2>Here's some of the stories we're following in the KFI

282
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hour newsroom. A business owner and commerce was

283
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.919
<v Speaker 2>conducting a private sale and he was fatally shot a

284
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.919
<v Speaker 2>man connected to the buyer. Authorities are investigating the incident

285
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and have not released any identities of people involved. The

286
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.360
<v Speaker 2>cal State Fullerton freshman tragically drowned at Lake Havasu during

287
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:22.879
<v Speaker 2>an outing with his fraternity. The Sigma Pi fraternity released

288
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 2>a statement that said eighteen year old Simon Daniel drown

289
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:28.600
<v Speaker 2>while swimming with friends. Authorities are investigating the incident, and

290
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the university has extended condolences. Noodles and Company plans to

291
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.120
<v Speaker 2>close up to twenty one restaurants this year, citing rising

292
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:40.720
<v Speaker 2>food and marketing costs. Despite this, that, Shane has seen

293
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.799
<v Speaker 2>a four point four increase in the same store sales

294
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:47.639
<v Speaker 2>and recently introduced a revamped menu to hopefully attract more customers.

295
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Then at six oh five, it's Handle on the news.

296
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 2>The Trump administration has agrees to pay has agreed to

297
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:55.440
<v Speaker 2>pay just under five million dollars to settle a wrongful

298
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:59.320
<v Speaker 2>death lawsuit that Ashley Babbitt's family filed over her shooting.

299
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:02.519
<v Speaker 2>We're going to tell you more about that right now,

300
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's say good morning for the first time to well

301
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.000
<v Speaker 2>not for the first time. For the first time, the

302
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 2>public is seeing the graphic evidence behind the federal government's

303
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.320
<v Speaker 2>case against music mogul Sean Diddy Coombs. ABC's Peter Harlamboos,

304
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:19.320
<v Speaker 2>who has been following the case closely, is joining us now.

305
00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:22.399
<v Speaker 11>Good morning, Peter, Good morning, Thanks so much for having me.

306
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 2>All Right, So, the release of these photos marks a

307
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:29.240
<v Speaker 2>turning point in the public's view of this case. I

308
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.879
<v Speaker 2>know you've been following this very closely. What has stood

309
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.360
<v Speaker 2>out most to you about the evidence that they've unveiled.

310
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.080
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, we've heard all about

311
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:41.200
<v Speaker 11>these allegations interred at four days of testimony last week,

312
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:44.360
<v Speaker 11>but seeing the photos as something else, we're finally getting

313
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:47.679
<v Speaker 11>these pieces of evidence put into the public record, prosecuted

314
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.360
<v Speaker 11>releasing them yesterday. In addition, to a video showing Comb's

315
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.440
<v Speaker 11>assaulting Ventura at a hotel. In these videos, you can

316
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.679
<v Speaker 11>see what she described across her graphic testimony, the bruises,

317
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.600
<v Speaker 11>the gases that she's said she endured at the hands

318
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:04.840
<v Speaker 11>of Combs, the effort she went to conceal them using

319
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.080
<v Speaker 11>makeup when she had to go to a red carpet premiere,

320
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.960
<v Speaker 11>for example, and even some of the materials that prosecutors

321
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.039
<v Speaker 11>say they seized from combs to hotel room when they

322
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.120
<v Speaker 11>rated it last year. They found nine thousand dollars in cash,

323
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.000
<v Speaker 11>drugs that tasted positive for ketamine and MDMA, and tons

324
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.879
<v Speaker 11>and tons of bottles of baby oil, which Ventura testified

325
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.919
<v Speaker 11>were kind of key to these these sex parties that

326
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:26.679
<v Speaker 11>are kind of at the center of the case called

327
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.240
<v Speaker 11>freak offs. Really, it's one thing to see to hear

328
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.759
<v Speaker 11>about them in testimony. It's another thing to see these

329
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:35.200
<v Speaker 11>photos that the jury has been examining at this point

330
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:35.679
<v Speaker 11>for days.

331
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:38.360
<v Speaker 2>So the list of some of the items that we're

332
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.480
<v Speaker 2>seeing you just mentioned there, ketamine, the baby oil, in

333
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:46.320
<v Speaker 2>large amounts of cash. How are prosecutors using these elements

334
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.679
<v Speaker 2>to tie in the larger trafficking and racketeering charges?

335
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.799
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I think they're slowly trying to piece this all together.

336
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.480
<v Speaker 11>I think, if anything, they used those pieces of evidence

337
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:59.679
<v Speaker 11>to kind of establish the credibility of their star witness.

338
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.360
<v Speaker 11>During the first few days of testimony, they really focused

339
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:05.119
<v Speaker 11>on that twenty sixteen assault at a hotel that was

340
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.200
<v Speaker 11>captured on video. If anything, that's kind of like the

341
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:09.720
<v Speaker 11>anchor of this case for the prosecutor. It's kind of

342
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:15.440
<v Speaker 11>showing on camera Ventura, excuse me, Combs beating Ventura, something

343
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.799
<v Speaker 11>that they really have no defense to other than saying

344
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.000
<v Speaker 11>that while that might be domestic violence, it isn't rocketeering

345
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.960
<v Speaker 11>or sex trafficking. I think as we see this case progressed,

346
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.440
<v Speaker 11>I think we'll see more and more of this evidence

347
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.400
<v Speaker 11>to corrobreak the story that this wasn't a one off thing,

348
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.839
<v Speaker 11>this was a pattern of conduct, that this was an

349
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.359
<v Speaker 11>enterprise that prosecutors say was criminal.

350
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Now I know, you know, we have all as the

351
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.319
<v Speaker 2>general public scene for years, their red carpet photos, these

352
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:46.519
<v Speaker 2>forward facing photos that they put out in their public

353
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.680
<v Speaker 2>life together that seemingly indicated there was nothing going on

354
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.279
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes. We would have no idea. But now

355
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.640
<v Speaker 2>we're really peeling back the layers and getting to see

356
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.680
<v Speaker 2>what was going on. Do you think that these visuals

357
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.759
<v Speaker 2>are going to impact the jury as well as public

358
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:04.240
<v Speaker 2>opinion in this case?

359
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I think for the jury, I think there are

360
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:13.119
<v Speaker 11>times really effective, especially when the prosecutors are contrasting the

361
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.440
<v Speaker 11>private photos of Ventura, the ones she took of herself

362
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:20.920
<v Speaker 11>documenting the bruising, documenting the gashes, and they contrast them

363
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 11>to the red carpet images that were used to seeing.

364
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:25.960
<v Speaker 11>And you can see in these photos the prosecutors ventured

365
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 11>into evidence the efforts to which Ventura was going to

366
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:32.920
<v Speaker 11>conceal this bruising, these injuries, the makeup she was using

367
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.440
<v Speaker 11>to hide black eyes, to hide bruising, but she was

368
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.599
<v Speaker 11>wearing on the red carpet long dresses that concealed bruises

369
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.240
<v Speaker 11>on her legs. You know, at the end of the day,

370
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:43.759
<v Speaker 11>we're used to seeing these celebrities in the context of

371
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 11>these high profile red carpets, and it's interesting and if anything,

372
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:51.200
<v Speaker 11>very compelling for this jury to see those images with

373
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.799
<v Speaker 11>the new context of what was being done to conceal

374
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.839
<v Speaker 11>all of this violence that Ventura alleges was done upon her.

375
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.200
<v Speaker 11>I think that clearly came across during the testimony last

376
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.200
<v Speaker 11>week and now we're just beginning to see it as

377
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:04.039
<v Speaker 11>members of the public.

378
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, so quickly looking ahead, what's the next step

379
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.799
<v Speaker 2>in the prosecution's case and what kind of defense is

380
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Combs's team, you know, likely looking to mount in response

381
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:15.799
<v Speaker 2>to this evidence.

382
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:19.319
<v Speaker 11>So at this point, the prosecution has five more weeks

383
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:21.680
<v Speaker 11>of testimony. We're going to hear from more victims, but

384
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.440
<v Speaker 11>this week, I think we're expecting to hear from some

385
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.720
<v Speaker 11>people closer to Venturre, including your mother, who could be

386
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:30.759
<v Speaker 11>called as early as today. We're also expecting to hear

387
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.400
<v Speaker 11>from another male escort today who's going to be called

388
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.759
<v Speaker 11>this morning as witness. You know, this is a long case.

389
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.640
<v Speaker 11>They have plenty of time to prove the idea of

390
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.079
<v Speaker 11>this criminal enterprise, and at this point we're expecting to

391
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.839
<v Speaker 11>see the end of the case revert, hopefully by July fourth.

392
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of people also, too, are curious

393
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:51.599
<v Speaker 2>to find out if any other celebrity names are mentioned

394
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:53.200
<v Speaker 2>in this case, so I know a lot of people

395
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.559
<v Speaker 2>will be watching closely for that as well. Peter, thank

396
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:58.920
<v Speaker 2>you so much for your time, and we'll touch base soon.

397
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:01.400
<v Speaker 11>Thanks for for having me all.

409
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:37.519
<v Speaker 13>about potential gas price increases, with some experts noting a

410
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 13>current ten cent rise per gallon. The proposed changes seek

411
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.640
<v Speaker 13>a thirty percent reduction in transportation emissions, but may lead

412
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:48.440
<v Speaker 13>to higher costs for oil refineries and consumers. Critics argue

413
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.359
<v Speaker 13>CARB did not communicate the financial impacts clearly. CARB has

<v Speaker 2>you're most looking forward to this summer.

470
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:51.079
<v Speaker 3>You go into the beach, are you're going to go

471

<v Speaker 3>to the pool?

472
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Are you going to just be netflixing and chilling inside

<v Speaker 2>to try to stay cool.

474
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:57.599
<v Speaker 3>It's all welcome. We want to hear from you.

475
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:00.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get to some of the stories coming

476
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:06.440
<v Speaker 2>out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. With forecasts

477
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:09.680
<v Speaker 2>showing a thirty to fifty percent chance of the US

478
00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:13.440
<v Speaker 2>economy could slide into recession this year, many Americans are

479
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.359
<v Speaker 2>understandably a little bit anxious. And now while we can't

480
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:19.319
<v Speaker 2>control economic trends, we can control how we respond to them.

481
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:22.519
<v Speaker 2>ABC's Jim Ryan is here with more about what this

482
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:24.119
<v Speaker 2>means for everyday consumers.

483
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Jim, Good morning, Heather.

484
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:28.759
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, anxiety is one thing, but then channeling that anxiety

485
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:33.720
<v Speaker 14>into something positive, trying to prepare for nothing inevitable, then

486
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:36.480
<v Speaker 14>at least the possible that is an inflation, you know,

487
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:41.319
<v Speaker 14>job laws and skyrotting prices and whatnot. So yeah, they

488
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:46.519
<v Speaker 14>Investipedia wallet hub financial advisors are urging people to set

489
00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:49.160
<v Speaker 14>some money aside. It's that simple, making sure that you

490
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:53.359
<v Speaker 14>have an emergency fund. Very few Americans actually have that,

491
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:56.759
<v Speaker 14>according to surveys, and the average family needs something like

492
00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:59.440
<v Speaker 14>thirty five thousand dollars to go for six months that

493
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:04.400
<v Speaker 14>include housing, transportation, food, those sorts of costs, much less

494
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:06.319
<v Speaker 14>having something aside for emergencies.

495
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Heather, all right, So for people who may already feel

496
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 2>financially stretched, Hello, I'm raising my hand over here. Yeah,

497
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.240
<v Speaker 2>what is the first and most sort of realistic step

498
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:17.440
<v Speaker 2>that we can take to prepare well?

499
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:21.240
<v Speaker 14>Making some sort of automatic payment every week? Right, So

500
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:23.680
<v Speaker 14>you set up an account first of all, maybe a

501
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:27.160
<v Speaker 14>high yield savings account away from your current bank, right,

502
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:29.400
<v Speaker 14>so that when you open the app for your bank,

503
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.319
<v Speaker 14>you're not seeing your regular checking, then your savings account,

504
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:33.240
<v Speaker 14>then your credit card.

505
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:35.200
<v Speaker 12>It makes it that much.

506
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:38.559
<v Speaker 14>Easier to transfer from one into the other, into Rob

507
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:39.519
<v Speaker 14>Peter to pay Paul.

508
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:39.759
<v Speaker 15>Right.

509
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:41.440
<v Speaker 14>So if you set it off into an account and

510
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.720
<v Speaker 14>set up some kind of automatic payment every week into

511
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:45.599
<v Speaker 14>that account.

512
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:46.279
<v Speaker 12>It'll start to grow.

513
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:49.480
<v Speaker 14>Then when an emergency does come along and you leave

514
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:52.160
<v Speaker 14>it alone, unless there is an emergency, then it'll be there.

515
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:54.920
<v Speaker 14>It'll be there waiting for you. And yeah, every week

516
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:56.319
<v Speaker 14>it gets a little larger.

517
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.240
<v Speaker 2>So you often hear the term rainy day funds, which

518
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 2>is such a fun little term there. What exactly constitutes

519
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:06.839
<v Speaker 2>like a rainy day fund and how much should someone

520
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:09.680
<v Speaker 2>be ideally trying to save and what counts as a

521
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:10.640
<v Speaker 2>true emergency.

522
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:14.240
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, that's a great question. And it's all based and

523
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:17.480
<v Speaker 14>you can find nerd wallet, for example, has an online

524
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:20.839
<v Speaker 14>calculator to figure out what you should be setting aside.

525
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:22.880
<v Speaker 14>And it's not based on your income, it has nothing

526
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.960
<v Speaker 14>to do with that. It's on how much you spend, right,

527
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:30.000
<v Speaker 14>So your rent or mortgage, your utility, payments, the debts,

528
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:32.480
<v Speaker 14>the grocery expenses, that sort of thing. Figure that all out,

529
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:35.519
<v Speaker 14>extend that out for you know, three four or five

530
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:38.279
<v Speaker 14>six months, and you've come up with an amount that

531
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.440
<v Speaker 14>you should be setting aside or should have in reserve,

532
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:45.680
<v Speaker 14>just in case the unknown happens. You know, if a

533
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.000
<v Speaker 14>recession does come, if you lose your job suddenly you're

534
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:51.880
<v Speaker 14>having to pay more for groceries. At least you'll have

535
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:54.759
<v Speaker 14>something in reserve. By the way, just having a little

536
00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:58.240
<v Speaker 14>bit in reserve. A psychologist say that if you have

537
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:02.039
<v Speaker 14>two thousand dollars set aside in a savings account, your

538
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:05.359
<v Speaker 14>sense of financial well being, the way you feel about

539
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 14>your finances goes up twenty one percent. Right, So, even

540
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:12.039
<v Speaker 14>with that small amount in there, I imagine what having

541
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.079
<v Speaker 14>four or five six, maybe ten thousand or the thirty

542
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:19.319
<v Speaker 14>five thousand recommended by financial planners for an average family,

543
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:22.039
<v Speaker 14>how much easier it's going to make your life feel

544
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:22.599
<v Speaker 14>At least?

545
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Are there any common mistakes that people make when they

546
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:28.200
<v Speaker 2>think of recession is coming?

547
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:32.680
<v Speaker 14>Not using that emergency fund as an emergency fund, dipping

548
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:35.039
<v Speaker 14>into it and you know it's more convenient, I'm just

549
00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:36.839
<v Speaker 14>gonna do that. I'll use some of the money in

550
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:39.319
<v Speaker 14>there instead of my usual checking account or debit card

551
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:42.599
<v Speaker 14>or something. That's a big mistake that you see here,

552
00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:46.279
<v Speaker 14>and you know it's as if a recession is coming.

553
00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:48.720
<v Speaker 14>You want to make sure that that's something that hasn't

554
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.400
<v Speaker 14>been touched at least as far as withdrawals are concerned.

555
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:54.119
<v Speaker 3>All right, So it's not my coffee fund, it's not

556
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.119
<v Speaker 3>my shopping fund.

557
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I need to leave it, leave it alone, got it,

558
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:00.160
<v Speaker 2>all right, Jim, thank you so much for sure your

559
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.039
<v Speaker 2>time today to Heather. All right, now it is time

560
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:05.680
<v Speaker 2>to get in your business. Get up in your business

561
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:07.400
<v Speaker 2>with the Bloomberg's Courtney dot Jo.

562
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.400
<v Speaker 5>Good morning, Courtney, Good morning.

563
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:12.319
<v Speaker 9>I still laugh about every single morning.

564
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:15.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure people listening are like, why business? These people

565
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:16.279
<v Speaker 3>are wild.

566
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:18.839
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's jump right into We got a lot

567
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:21.240
<v Speaker 2>of fun things to talk about today. Sprite is dropping

568
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:22.759
<v Speaker 2>a new flavor drink.

569
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.440
<v Speaker 9>For the summer exactly, and I'm here to fill the

570
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:29.559
<v Speaker 9>tea this morning. And that's your first clue, Oh folks,

571
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:32.880
<v Speaker 9>a Coca Cola noticed a viral trend of people steeping

572
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:36.480
<v Speaker 9>tea bags in ice cold Sprite, so after several rounds

573
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:39.720
<v Speaker 9>of consumer testing to fine tune that formula. Sprite is

574
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:42.960
<v Speaker 9>now rolling out its own version called Sprite plus Tea,

575
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:45.839
<v Speaker 9>so the drink is hitting store shelves this week. Sprit

576
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:48.240
<v Speaker 9>plus Tea will be available for a limited time until

577
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.839
<v Speaker 9>October in regular and also zero sugar version, so be

578
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:53.960
<v Speaker 9>on the lookout for that. If you really like a

579
00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:56.200
<v Speaker 9>little bit of vice tea and a little Sprit combined.

580
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:59.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna say no, thank you. That does not sound very.

581
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.319
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I'm taking a hard path on it to eliminate.

582
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:05.559
<v Speaker 9>I'd be like, Okay, I'm.

583
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.799
<v Speaker 2>With you if that's what you're into, but I don't

584
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:08.759
<v Speaker 2>think it's brite and tea.

585
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:11.240
<v Speaker 3>That's not for me. Not for me, all right. If

586
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:12.519
<v Speaker 3>you're flying, no, I agree.

587
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:16.440
<v Speaker 2>If you're flying to several cities, this summer lift is

588
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:21.440
<v Speaker 2>bringing back cheaper shared trips from the airport yay. Yeah.

589
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:24.559
<v Speaker 9>So they're piloting the program in eight cities, including La

590
00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:30.240
<v Speaker 9>so good news for you guys. Also Boston, San Francisco, Austin, Chicago, Denver, Vegas,

591
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.200
<v Speaker 9>New Orleans. So here's how it works. A passenger at

592
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.279
<v Speaker 9>those airports going in a similar direction, they're going to

593
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:38.880
<v Speaker 9>be all picked up in the same car. So people

594
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:40.880
<v Speaker 9>taking these shared trips could see as much as the

595
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:44.000
<v Speaker 9>twenty percent discount compared to a regular lift, and we're

596
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:46.799
<v Speaker 9>all looking to save a little money in this environment.

597
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:51.200
<v Speaker 9>But keep in mind that Lift actually discontinued share drives

598
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:53.680
<v Speaker 9>two years ago. They said it took too many people

599
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:56.400
<v Speaker 9>way out of their way, so they said, we're not

600
00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:58.720
<v Speaker 9>going to do it. But I guess people are looking

601
00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:01.000
<v Speaker 9>for it again, especially as they try to save money.

602
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 2>And people are looking to save a little bit of

603
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:05.440
<v Speaker 2>money at home depots, So what's going on there.

604
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:08.799
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, so there's a couple of things going on at

605
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:12.559
<v Speaker 9>home depot, So economic turbulence has definitely been squeezing spending

606
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:15.920
<v Speaker 9>recently at home depot. Sales for the home improvement retailer

607
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:18.160
<v Speaker 9>came in lower than what Wall Street expected in the

608
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:21.279
<v Speaker 9>latest quarter. Customers are telling them that the interest rate

609
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 9>environment remains a big consideration and a lot of people

610
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:28.599
<v Speaker 9>are deferring these large home improvement projects for now. But

611
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:32.519
<v Speaker 9>Home People Management says consumer habits remain steady and that

612
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.440
<v Speaker 9>allowed the company to maintain their financial guidance for the year. Plus.

613
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:39.799
<v Speaker 9>It's a little more positive on tariffs than other retailers.

614
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:44.279
<v Speaker 9>Looking right at your Walmart they've been defersifying their supply chain,

615
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:46.559
<v Speaker 9>and that's going to help Home Depot generally keep a

616
00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:48.839
<v Speaker 9>lid on price hikes, which is good news if you

617
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:50.680
<v Speaker 9>need to go in and you need to fix something

618
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:53.400
<v Speaker 9>on your house. But it's very different than what Walmart

619
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:55.640
<v Speaker 9>said last week, where they sent out a warning that

620
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 9>price hikes are going to be ahead, especially some of

621
00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:59.440
<v Speaker 9>them coming within this month.

622
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:01.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, Courtney, thank you so much. I don't know

623
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.039
<v Speaker 2>if I'll be here tomorrow. I mean, I'll be here

624
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:06.599
<v Speaker 2>on this earth, I believe, but I don't know if.

625
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:09.680
<v Speaker 3>I will be here at wake up Paul. But we hope.

626
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, I need that dark. I made that dark.

627
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Sorry about that, but Amy, maybe back tomorrow is what

628
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I was getting at. So thank you so much for

629
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:18.960
<v Speaker 2>your time.

630
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:22.400
<v Speaker 9>Definitely we'll see it soon no matter what.

631
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:25.160
<v Speaker 3>All right, bye bye, Let's get back man. I made

632
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:27.200
<v Speaker 3>that dark. Wow, real yet dark.

633
00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:30.480
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna get back to a couple of stories coming

634
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:32.759
<v Speaker 2>out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A woman

635
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:35.319
<v Speaker 2>whose embryos were being stored at the Ivy of clinic

636
00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:39.720
<v Speaker 2>in Palm Springs targeted and explosions say they are grateful

637
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:43.000
<v Speaker 2>to the firefighters who save them. This woman told kat

638
00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Lay she had egg stored at the clinic since March.

639
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.000
<v Speaker 2>My embryo is already a little fighter because she's she's

640
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:50.400
<v Speaker 2>the only embryo that made it.

641
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:52.160
<v Speaker 13>She survived this incident.

642
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:55.960
<v Speaker 2>She says, her embryo transfer is on schedule at a

643
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.640
<v Speaker 2>different clinic. The historic US Courthouse on Spring Street and

644
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Downtow in LA was built in the nineteen thirties, and

645
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:05.640
<v Speaker 2>it's now up for an expedited sale by the federal government.

646
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:10.079
<v Speaker 2>The General Services Administration aims to offload under used properties,

647
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and this fourteen story landmark is among them. While no

648
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.920
<v Speaker 2>official price is listed, estimates suggested could fetch around sixty

649
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:19.279
<v Speaker 2>million dollars.

650
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.799
<v Speaker 3>Wowser, will how'd you like to buy a building downtown?

651

<v Speaker 2>the best time to view the Milky Way is tonight

680

706
00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:59.719
<v Speaker 2>the show must go on. Let's get back some of

707
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:01.559
<v Speaker 2>the store. He's coming out of the KFI twenty four

708
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:05.880
<v Speaker 2>hour newsroom. There's a new study on sleep, and ABC's

709
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Sherry Preston says snoozing is not good.

710
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:11.800
<v Speaker 3>It's a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports.

711
00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:15.119
<v Speaker 2>Quotes researchers who say the minutes just before waking are

712
00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:18.239
<v Speaker 2>the most important phase of sleep, when rapid eye movements

713
00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:19.039
<v Speaker 2>are at their peak.

714
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:20.519
<v Speaker 3>Snoozing interrupts that.

715
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.519
<v Speaker 2>She says the best advice is to get set your

716
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:28.280
<v Speaker 2>alarm for the latest possible time and then commit to

717
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:30.559
<v Speaker 2>getting out of bed the first time it goes off.

718
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah right, I'm never doing it. Joel, are you here?

719
00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:36.119
<v Speaker 3>Do we have Joel?

720
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.960
<v Speaker 12>I'm here, I'm here, big, Good morning, Good morning, Heather.

721
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:43.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, So I kind of threw a little story

722
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:45.800
<v Speaker 2>at you last minute, and I want to get to

723
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:48.280
<v Speaker 2>that quickly before we run out of time.

724
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:51.000
<v Speaker 3>I saw this on my TikTok on my social media.

725
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:55.360
<v Speaker 2>The Trump bill, the budget bill is allowing for something

726
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:57.440
<v Speaker 2>called a MAGA account.

727
00:35:57.920 --> 00:35:59.400
<v Speaker 3>What is that all about?

728
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:02.440
<v Speaker 6>Okay, so this is really interesting and it's still just

729
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:04.639
<v Speaker 6>a proposal, so it's a vaporware, so we don't know

730
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:07.199
<v Speaker 6>if this is actually going to become a part.

731
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.679
<v Speaker 12>Of this so called big beautiful bill.

732
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:13.800
<v Speaker 6>But essentially, this is a proposal that's been made by

733
00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:16.679
<v Speaker 6>both Republicans and Democrats in the past, and it's an

734
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:21.039
<v Speaker 6>attempt to help youngsters save and invest for their future.

735
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:24.360
<v Speaker 6>So this MAGA account, it's somewhere between. It's kind of

736
00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:26.440
<v Speaker 6>like a hybrid of a five to twenty nine and

737
00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:30.000
<v Speaker 6>a four to one K where the government essentially invests

738
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:33.039
<v Speaker 6>one thousand dollars for kids who are born.

739
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:34.199
<v Speaker 12>Over the next few years.

740
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:37.159
<v Speaker 6>And which is part of what I don't like about

741
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:39.199
<v Speaker 6>this is that this proposal is likely only going to

742
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:41.800
<v Speaker 6>be around for a few years until its sunsets. So

743
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:43.400
<v Speaker 6>if we're gonna if we think this is a good thing,

744
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:44.719
<v Speaker 6>let's keep it around for a long time. And if

745
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.079
<v Speaker 6>we don't, let's not do it at all. But yeah,

746
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:49.599
<v Speaker 6>this is a really interesting idea, and again it's been

747
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.920
<v Speaker 6>a bipartisan proposal at different times to say, hey, for

748
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:55.639
<v Speaker 6>to allow the next generation to start building wealth through

749
00:36:55.679 --> 00:36:59.039
<v Speaker 6>the future, let's start investing in them and allowing them

750
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:01.599
<v Speaker 6>to take part in stuff bock market gains from the

751
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:02.480
<v Speaker 6>minute that they're born.

752
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, I know that some of the questions that people

753
00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:09.599
<v Speaker 2>had about it were like, they can't access it till

754
00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:13.039
<v Speaker 2>they're twenty five or thirty. There's a lot of questionable

755
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:14.920
<v Speaker 2>things about it. So I want to encourage people to

756
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:19.440
<v Speaker 2>do their research on this, you know, before before anything

757
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:20.079
<v Speaker 2>moves forward.

758
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.239
<v Speaker 6>And from what I could tell by the way, it

759
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.480
<v Speaker 6>looks like they're going to have access to the funds

760
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:26.920
<v Speaker 6>at age eighteen and then they need to be spent

761
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:29.800
<v Speaker 6>down by age thirty one. So it's essentially to say, hey,

762
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:32.159
<v Speaker 6>we'll stick a thousand bucks in and your parents can

763
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:34.039
<v Speaker 6>even add more to it, and it's a way for

764
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:36.639
<v Speaker 6>you to say, I don't know, maybe have actually some

765
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.760
<v Speaker 6>money to buy a home when you turn when you're

766
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:42.400
<v Speaker 6>in your early twenties, or to start a business or

767
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:45.679
<v Speaker 6>something like that. So the kind of idea behind it,

768
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:47.360
<v Speaker 6>the concept I think makes a lot of sense.

769
00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:48.320
<v Speaker 12>The details.

770
00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:50.559
<v Speaker 6>The devil's going to be in the details, and then

771
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:53.199
<v Speaker 6>in particular that detail of how long this account is

772
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:55.440
<v Speaker 6>actually in action, Because if it's really only to help

773
00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:58.239
<v Speaker 6>kids that are born over the next few years and

774
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:00.800
<v Speaker 6>then it goes away, then and I don't think it

775
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:01.360
<v Speaker 6>will have done.

776
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Its job and really quickly before we have to go.

777
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:08.119
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about millennials cutting back on their expenses because

778
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:09.480
<v Speaker 2>of the economic anxiety.

779
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:13.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, okay, so this is something The Wall Street Journal

780
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:16.000
<v Speaker 6>had an article about this, and I think people are seeing,

781
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:19.639
<v Speaker 6>you know, tariffs and higher predictions of recession. And there's

782
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.840
<v Speaker 6>something about kind of the perpetually online nature of our

783
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:26.239
<v Speaker 6>society too, and just the fact that people are are

784
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:30.239
<v Speaker 6>saying they're seeing they're being exposed more to economic uncertainty

785
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:32.679
<v Speaker 6>in the reality that we're not sure where things are headed.

786
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:35.199
<v Speaker 6>The truth is there's always some of that. And even

787
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:38.719
<v Speaker 6>when there's when it feels like things are smooth sailing,

788
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:42.119
<v Speaker 6>things pop out of nowhere, like COVID for instance, where

789
00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:43.639
<v Speaker 6>you're like, oh, it seems like the economy is doing

790
00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:46.239
<v Speaker 6>well and then boom, COVID drops on us and it

791
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:49.039
<v Speaker 6>sends our economy and supply chains into a tailspin. So

792
00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:51.039
<v Speaker 6>even the thing, even if there are things that are

793
00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:53.960
<v Speaker 6>not on our radar coming up, there's always something that's

794
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:57.079
<v Speaker 6>at risk to our collective economic.

795
00:38:56.800 --> 00:38:58.559
<v Speaker 12>Future into our individual economic futures.

796
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:01.440
<v Speaker 6>But people are saying, Hey, I'm anxious, and what I'm

797
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:03.840
<v Speaker 6>doing because of that is I'm pulling back on my spending,

798
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:07.440
<v Speaker 6>and I think that can make sense, right. I'm all

799
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:10.320
<v Speaker 6>for frugality, but I also don't want people to let

800
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:13.239
<v Speaker 6>fear drive their lives, and so I want people to

801
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:15.960
<v Speaker 6>be careful about saying, hey, I'm anxious, so I'm gonna

802
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:18.440
<v Speaker 6>hoard money and not spend as I normally would. I

803
00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:21.239
<v Speaker 6>think there are times to cut back significantly, for sure,

804
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:24.480
<v Speaker 6>but I just want people to be prepared, which means

805
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:25.960
<v Speaker 6>having a basic emergency fund.

806
00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:28.280
<v Speaker 12>I say you need to have at least three thou

807
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:29.480
<v Speaker 12>forty five dollars.

808
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:31.639
<v Speaker 6>That's the baseline amount I want people to have in

809
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:34.559
<v Speaker 6>their savings account that can help you weather most emergencies

810
00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:34.880
<v Speaker 6>that are.

811
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:35.480
<v Speaker 12>Going to come along.

812
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:39.079
<v Speaker 6>And beyond that, yeah, be saving more, but also don't

813
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:42.119
<v Speaker 6>let fear and uncertainty drive your decision making.

814
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:43.519
<v Speaker 3>That is such great advice.

815
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Everyone listen to How to Money on Sundays from noon

816

<v Speaker 3>I just want to make sure I got it right.

819
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:51.119
<v Speaker 3>That's it awesome, Thank you, Joel.

830
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:20.639
<v Speaker 16>summer I like to sit in the air conditioning because

831
00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:21.239
<v Speaker 16>it's hot.

832
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:22.480
<v Speaker 3>That's true.

833
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:25.440
