Another busy day, another 11 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.039 blustery day. You know where I live. I didn't get 12 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.759 to the really strong wins yesterday afternoon. I got them 13 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:56.479 over the weekend, but man, they're blowing hard and we 14 00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:00.439 got more coming today. We've got more updates on election 15 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.600 results as they kind of trickle in. Of course, they're 16 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.719 still counting ballots. What's ahead as the country gets ready 17 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.159 for a new president, how the markets are reacting. We're 18 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.519 going to cover all of that, but here's what's ahead 19 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.159 on wake Up Call. A fast moving brush fire in 20 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.439 Ventura County has prompted evacuations and burned several homes as 21 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.120 many as fifty the fire fueled by strong Santa Ana wins, 22 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.920 started yesterday off the one to eighteen in More Park 23 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.920 quickly grew to more than fourteen thousand acres. Several people 24 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.519 have been injured and were taken to the hospitals. Santa 25 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.879 Ana wins are expected to blow at least through this 26 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.239 evening and in the Inland Empire until tomorrow morning. Backers 27 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.239 of La Counties Measure A that would replace a one 28 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.719 quarter cent sales tax with a permanent half cent sales 29 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.920 tax to pay for homelessness programs, have declared victory. As 30 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.480 of yesterday afternoon, Measure A was passing with almost fifty 31 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.239 six percent of the vote. That's a marchin of about 32 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.280 three hundred thousand votes. A million ballots are still left 33 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.719 to be counted in La County. Minnesota Governor Tim Walls 34 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.040 has thanked Vice President Harris for letting him be her 35 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.519 running mate. After Harris's concession speech yesterday. Walls says that 36 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.800 while the outcome is not what they wanted, he's grateful 37 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:11.879 to the millions of Americans who stood up for their 38 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:17.199 greatest ideals, decency, compassion, and love of their neighbor. So 39 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.879 Harris did do her concession speech yesterday at her alma mater. 40 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.479 Alma Mater? Did I say that right? I thought it 41 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.520 was really good. So we're going to actually play parts 42 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.680 of it for you in a minute. You know, I 43 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.879 mean tough pill to swallow when you think you might 44 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:34.759 be the next president and then find out it's not 45 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.520 going to happen. So I think she did a nice 46 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.639 job with that. Let's get started with some of the 47 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.039 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 48 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.879 A wind driven brush fire and Ventura County that has 49 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.240 destroyed dozens of homes has burned more than fourteen thousand 50 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.080 acres in less than twenty four hours. Ventura County Fire 51 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.159 Captain Trevor Johnson says the fire started yesterday in Moore 52 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.800 Park and burned into came Rio and Somas, where mandatory 53 00:02:58.840 --> 00:02:59.960 evacuations were ordered. 54 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.240 Resources that arrived on seen and initially were faced with 55 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.520 a tough firefight. Cruise immediately went into structure protection, property conservation, 56 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.120 any type of suppression, and immediate life safety. 57 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.000 The fire was pushed by the strong Santa Anna Wins 58 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.120 authorities inventor account. He said several people were hurt and 59 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.000 taken to area hospitals. Schools in the area are closed 60 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.360 today and tomorrow. Some homeowners and camer rio did not 61 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.719 leave when they were told to. 62 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:27.960 Something told me they just wanted to wait until the 63 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.240 last minute. Others said they didn't really have any place 64 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.879 to go. But as I drove yesterday through the streets 65 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.960 of this upscale neighborhood along Alta sagoona court, I saw 66 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.439 people packing their cars and coordinating with each other. 67 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:39.479 Are you evacuating? 68 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:40.280 We have. 69 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:42.479 I just came to pick up a few things. Do 70 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.520 you have a place to go? Kill yet? 71 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.240 My son's place, that's Ray. 72 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:46.479 He says. 73 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.360 In the forty years he's lived here, he's never seen 74 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.560 anything like it. And like others I spoke with, Ray says, 75 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.080 the fire came up so fast they had no time 76 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.680 to initially pack anything in Camio. 77 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:57.960 Steve Gregory King. 78 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.319 If I knew ballots are still being to decide which 79 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.479 party we'll control the US House. Republicans have two hundred 80 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.319 six seats to the Democrat's one hundred and ninety one seats. 81 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.000 So far, two hundred and eighteen are needed for the majority. 82 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.479 More than three dozen races have yet to be called. 83 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:20.279 Republicans have won control of the Senate. President elect Trumps 84 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:24.079 spent the day after his election taking congratulatory phone calls 85 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.279 from world leaders and also from President Biden, who invited 86 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.600 Trump to a meeting in the Oval Office to prepare 87 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.639 for the transition of power. A Trump spokesman says the 88 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.959 President elect looks forward to the meeting. American Idol winner 89 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.560 and Coachella Valley native Abby Carter love Her is lighting 90 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.439 the forty five foot tree at this year's Palm Springs 91 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.319 Aerial Tramway tree Lighting ceremony. The tree has over four 92 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.959 thousand led lights. Carter will be joined by the Palm 93 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.279 Springs High School Choir and String Quartet, which will be 94 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:58.199 playing uh holiday music at the event. Last next month. 95 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.399 Next month, still still early November, not quite tree lighting 96 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:07.399 time yet. Yesterday, Vice President Harris gave her concession speech 97 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.879 after losing the election. On Tuesday, she was at her 98 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:17.000 alma mater at Howard University, and as I mentioned, I 99 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.560 think this has got to be a really tough time, right, 100 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:22.720 Like you see how excited some people are, how devastated 101 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.279 other people are. And for her, you know that carrot 102 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.120 is dangled and then it's taken away. So she did 103 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.120 do her concession speech, and I think she did a 104 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:34.959 really good job, so I wanted to play parts of 105 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.839 it for you. First of all, she talks about how 106 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.439 obviously this is not what they were hoping for. 107 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.000 The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, 108 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.639 not what we fought for, not what we voted for. 109 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:55.959 But hear me when I say, hear me when I say, 110 00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:06.800 the light of America's promise will always burn bright as 111 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:12.240 long as we never give up, and as long as 112 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:23.120 we keep fighting. To my beloved Doug and our family, 113 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:30.480 I love you so very much. To President Biden and 114 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.279 Doctor Biden, thank you for your faith and support. 115 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.800 To Governor Walls. 116 00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.240 And the Walls family. I know your service to our 117 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:45.319 nation will continue, okay. 118 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.199 And then she went on to talk a little bit 119 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.439 about the campaign that she ran and how proud she 120 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:51.279 is of it. 121 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:55.120 Over the one hundred and seven days of this campaign, 122 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:02.639 we have been intentional about building commune unity and building coalitions, 123 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.199 bringing people together from every walk of life and background, 124 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:15.279 united by love of country, with enthusiasm and joy in 125 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:23.319 our fight for America's future. And we did it with 126 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.519 the knowledge that we all have so much more in 127 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.879 common than what separates us. 128 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:31.399 Now. 129 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.839 I know folks are feeling and experiencing a range of 130 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:42.120 emotions right now. I get it, But we must accept 131 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.959 the results of this election. Earlier today, I spoke with 132 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:51.000 President elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I 133 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.040 also told him that we will help him and his 134 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:59.199 team with their transition and that we will engage in 135 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.319 a peaceful transfer of power. 136 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.360 And then she went on to talk more about how 137 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.199 that's going to play out. 138 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:15.279 A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we 139 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.399 lose an election, we accept the results. That principle, as 140 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.279 much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny, 141 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:31.519 and anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it. 142 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:39.080 At the same time, in our nation, we owe loyalty 143 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.200 not to a president or a party, but to the 144 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:53.320 Constitution of the United States, and loyalty to our conscience 145 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:59.200 and to our God. My allegiance to all three is 146 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:00.480 why I am. 147 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:01.480 Here to say. 148 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:08.159 While I concede this election, I do not concede the 149 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.519 fight that fueled this campaign. 150 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.320 Crowd like that one, and then she had a message 151 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:17.600 for the kids. 152 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.639 The important thing is, don't ever give up. Don't ever 153 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.960 give up don't ever stop trying to make the world 154 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:28.519 a better place. 155 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:30.480 You have power. 156 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:36.360 You have power, and don't you ever listen when anyone 157 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:40.600 tells you something is impossible because it has never been 158 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:52.879 done before. You have the capacity to do extraordinary good 159 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:54.200 in the world. 160 00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:00.399 And then she closed with an old adage that she 161 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.399 referred back to, and I thought she was going to 162 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.200 say something about its darkest before the dawn. Feels like 163 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.919 it might have been Star sort of a playoff of that. 164 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.919 But I really liked what she had to say. 165 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:11.159 Here. 166 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:16.360 Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. 167 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.000 I know many people feel like we are entering a 168 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:27.399 dark time, but for the benefit of us all I 169 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.960 hope that is not the case. But here's the thing, America, 170 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.799 if it is, let us fill the sky with the 171 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.600 light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of. 172 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:44.200 Stars, the light. 173 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:53.200 The light of optimism, of faith, of truth and service. 174 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:01.679 Ain't you. 175 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:12.159 And made that work guide us, even in the face 176 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:21.200 of setbacks, toward the extraordinary promise of the United States 177 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:22.159 of America. 178 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.559 And there you have it. Got that again. I just 179 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.960 think that was very well done. Let's get back to 180 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:33.879 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 181 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.039 four hour newsroom. A measure in Santa Anna to allow 182 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.480 non US citizens to vote appears to have been voted down. 183 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.120 Critics say the measure would have added about sixty thousand 184 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.720 people to the city's voter roles. 185 00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:48.279 We did it not by vilifying illegals, but by elevating 186 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.279 the right to vote as the crown jewel of citizenship. 187 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.799 Lawyer activist James Lacey says they got a lot of 188 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:55.559 support from naturalized citizens. 189 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.240 I don't think that those naturalized citizens wanted to give 190 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:00.919 up their precious right to vote or dilute it to 191 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.320 give it over to illegals that don't take a test 192 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:05.679 and that don't pledge an allegiance to the United States. 193 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.279 Supporters say non citizens should be able to vote because 194 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:11.039 they pay taxes and raise children in the city in 195 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.159 Santa Ana. Corbin Carson kf I. 196 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.840 News The dal rose fifteen hundred points yesterday, the day 197 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.639 after election Day, as investors cheered former President Trump's return 198 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.759 to the White House, ABC's Alexis Christopherosa's investors are betting 199 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.639 Trump's policies will benefit them. 200 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.879 He was always really seen as the more friendly candidate 201 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:31.120 to corporate America. 202 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.279 He wants to lower the corporate tax rate we know 203 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.279 down to fifteen percent from its current twenty one percent. 204 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:40.399 She says investors also welcome deregulation.

As a Category 207 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:53.440 three storm. Forecasters say Raphael could cause life threatening storm surges, winds, 208 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.360 and flash floods in western parts of the island country. 209 00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.279 The storm previously knocked out power and dumped rain on 210 00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:03.000 the Cayman Island and Jamaica. Another hurricane hit Cuba just 211 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.639 two weeks ago, killing at least six people in the 212 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:08.120 eastern part of the island.

County CEO Fijia Davenport says 216 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.200 the two hundred million dollar acquisition makes sense because the 217 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.600 current building on Temple Street is too costly for a 218 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:23.600 seismic retrofit. 219 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:27.720 It makes sense from a safety perspective, from an efficiency perspective, 220 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:32.639 from a budgetary perspective, and also from a service delivery perspective. 221 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.960 Supervisor Janis Hahn was the only vote against the purchase plan. 222 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.879 She argues the building name for her late supervisor father 223 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.240 is an anchor of Downtown Civic Center in downtown La. 224 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.679 Michael Monks KFI News win gus up to sixty to 225 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.159 seventy miles per hour still expected through the day is 226 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.320 dangerous Santa Ana winds blow through the Southland.

Progressive 232 00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:11.720 challenger Isabel Herrado appears likely to unsee District fourteen LA 233 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:15.720 City Councilman Kevin da Leone. She's leading by fifty six 234 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.559 to forty four percent margin as of yesterday afternoon. Arado 235 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.120 says she decided to run on the eve of her 236 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.960 thirty third birthday, when a tape was leaked of Dallyon 237 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:29.360 and other city officials making racist remarks about another city 238 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:34.159 council member's son. Governor Newsom says the state will work 239 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.720 with President elect Trump, but added California will stand with 240 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.039 states across the US to defend the Constitution and defend 241 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.360 the rule of law. The Southern California Republican Congressman darryl 242 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.759 Isa says Trump's decisive win was a clear mandate from 243 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.399 voters to rebuild the economy, restore national defense, and enforce 244 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:57.600 the border. Let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, 245 00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:02.720 with the election of President elect Trump, Special Council Jack 246 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:04.879 Smith has some work to do when it comes to 247 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:06.440 Donald Trump. So what's happening. 248 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.000 Yeah, this is an open question, and we are in 249 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:14.639 uncharted waters, unprecedented circumstance. We're talking about a man who's 250 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:19.200 under indictment in two separate federal criminal matters, both of 251 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.799 which are still two different degrees pending in the federal courts. 252 00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:27.639 And then there are two state court matters, the one 253 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.000 in Georgia, the racketeering case there, and then there's the 254 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.799 New York hush money case where Trump has already been 255 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.159 convicted by a jury. All of it now complicated by 256 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.679 the fact that Donald Trump has won the election and 257 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.080 we'll be president of the United States on January twentieth, 258 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:44.200 the next year. So right now, within the Biden Justice Department, 259 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.240 there are high level conversations about how to wind down 260 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:52.600 quickly the two federal cases against Trump. There's the federal 261 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.559 election interference case here in Washington, d c. And then 262 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:59.480 there's the classified documents case in Florida. It's not clear 263 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.480 how this is going to proceed, but there is a 264 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:05.639 recognition and acknowledgment within the Justice Department that it cannot 265 00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:09.559 proceed with the prosecutions while Donald Trump is president because 266 00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:11.720 of the long standing policy that state dates back to 267 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.480 the Nixon era, that the Justice Department acknowledges the constitutional 268 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.000 responsibilities of a president are so important that they can't 269 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.720 be interfered with by a criminal prosecution. So what happens 270 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.960 next not sure, but it seems as though Jack Smith 271 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:27.919 is going to figure out some sort of way to 272 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:31.639 get these two cases dismissed. The cleanest way to do it, 273 00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:34.440 and this is entirely my speculation, and no one else 274 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:35.480 is suggesting this but me. 275 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.399 Okay, but the easiest thing to. 276 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:39.840 Do would be for Joe Biden to grant Donald Trump 277 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:43.320 a pardon to prevent Trump from having to fire Jack 278 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.639 Smith prevent Trump from having to parton himself. 279 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:47.399 Now, will he do it? I don't know. 280 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.720 Totally speculation and entirely theoretical, but it would be the 281 00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:53.360 cleanest way to wipe this late clean. 282 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:59.799 Okay, I have a question about the pardon thing. Can 283 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.240 President elect Trump pardoned himself when he gets back into 284 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.000 office or is that that's still that uncharted territory. It's 285 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:07.880 never happened, right. 286 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:10.839 Well, it's it's listen, it's never happened before. But the 287 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:14.400 understanding is that he probably could because there's no way 288 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.000 to challenge a pardon. The part the pardon powers plenary 289 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.319 in the Constitution, which means it's beyond any kind of 290 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:23.440 question or challenge and so and entirely within the powers 291 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.279 of the presidency. So uh, you know, but to prevent 292 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:31.599 that breaking of a norm, again, theory and speculation entirely 293 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.119 on my part, just to kind of game it out. 294 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.039 Sure Biden could pardon Trump to prevent Trump from having 295 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:38.920 to pardon himself. 296 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.599 That's an interesting theory step. Im portanite the classified documents 297 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.480 case just as a refresher. That was the one that 298 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.960 it was thrown out, but then Jack Smith basically refiled it. 299 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:54.519 He revised it. 300 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.400 Well, no, no, no, So what we're talking about in 301 00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.880 the classified Documents case was a judge who said that 302 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:04.720 jack Smith was improperly appointed because she subscribed to the 303 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:09.359 constitutional view advanced by conservative legal theorists that had failed 304 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:13.599 repeatedly several other attempts. But Judge Cannon signed on to 305 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:15.799 it and dismissed the case the idea that Jack Smith 306 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.559 was not confirmed by the Senate and so therefore he 307 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.680 didn't have the power to bring an indictment. Well, there 308 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:24.160 had been other special counselors who have brought indictments and 309 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.519 they have never The challenge on that basis has never succeeded, 310 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.680 and so the Justice Department was appealing her ruling to 311 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.319 get that case back on track. And let me put 312 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:35.799 it this way, if Trump had not won the election, 313 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:37.720 I think it's very likely that the Eleventh Circuit would 314 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.240 have overturned Judge Cannon's opinion and sent that case back 315 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:43.880 to the district court. Whether it be in Judge Cannon's 316 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:46.640 court room or not is another question. Because Smith seemed 317 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:51.160 to be so aggrieved by Judge Cannon's repeated rulings against 318 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.279 him that he was probably going to see about getting 319 00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:55.599 the case taken out of her courtroom. All that seems 320 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:58.160 to be moot now though, And the question is, what 321 00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:01.160 is the actual mechanism for having these case is dismissed? 322 00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:02.240 It's not clear. 323 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:07.079 Okay, wasn't there one though where he did. I'm getting 324 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:09.519 them confused because there's so many. It wasn't there one 325 00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:13.720 where he did. Because of the immunity part that the 326 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.480 Supreme Court said, yeah, he has an immunity for official dubates. 327 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:20.799 That's in d C, where the Supreme Court has ruled 328 00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:24.240 that a president is entitled to the presumption of immunity 329 00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:26.680 for his official acts, if not absolute immunity, and that 330 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.559 is still pending. Judge Tanya Chukin here in Washington, d C. 331 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:35.400 Was set to decide whether certain aspects of the superseding 332 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:38.599 indictment needed to be removed or not, and that itself 333 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.160 would have been appealed, although after the Supreme Court necessary. 334 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:42.920 So all of that, again is going to be moot 335 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.480 because jack Smith has no choice but to let this 336 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.519 all go. Whether he's going to do it in an 337 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:51.200 emotion to dismiss and maybe I don't know. Is there 338 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.119 such a thing as dismissing with prejudice? I don't know, 339 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:55.640 and that's the idea that it couldn't be revised or revived. 340 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.839 Suffice it to say, the legal casesgainst Trump, certainly at 341 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.799 the federal level, are off the table because statutal limitations 342 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:06.960 would run out if the cases are dismissed, and the 343 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:10.559 only question then would be, again theoretically and only hypothetically, 344 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.519 whether Joe Biden would pardon Trump or Trump my pardon himself. 345 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.319 Long story short. His election means that Donald Trump will 346 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:21.160 not be prosecuted by the federal. 347 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:27.000 Government again in uncharted territory. Interesting stuff, all right. Thank 348 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:29.960 you for helping us sort that out, Stephen. Like I said, 349 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.279 there's so many to try to keep them straight, and 350 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:36.119 my little brain is challenging. That's why we have you her. 351 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:39.319 You got it all right, Thank you so much, Stephen. Okay, 352 00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:42.440 parts of La and Ventura Counties remain under a red 353 00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.400 flag warning for extreme fire damager because of the high winds. 354 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:49.319 Gusts reaching sixty seventy, maybe even eighty miles per hour 355 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.720 yesterday could continue through this evening. It's possible there could 356 00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.039 be some isolated gusts of up to one hundred miles 357 00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:58.559 per hour in the San Gabriels. The warning again in 358 00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:02.839 effect until tonight, and it extends through tomorrow morning for 359 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.480 the ie. A judge in California has rejected an appeal 360 00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:09.759 by the man convicted of murdering rapper Nipsey Hustle. This 361 00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:12.839 comes nearly two years after Eric Holder Junior went to a 362 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:14.920 trial for the killing. The decision means he'll stay in 363 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.640 prison to serve out his sixty year sentence.
