Pleasure being with you. 4 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.640 We'll talk about whether or not you are now living 5 00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:12.400 in a Fire's on his new maps have been released. 6 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.839 It's coming up here after an update on the news 7 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.519 with Amy King and about a quarter after first. The 8 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.519 big news is that the Trump officials are facing some 9 00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:27.199 backlash and Democrats are jumping on it after it's revealed 10 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.559 that the plans to attack the Hooti rebels in Yemen. 11 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:37.799 We're being discussed via an unsecured chat app. KTLA had 12 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:38.600 that story. 13 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.640 Secret war plans revealed in a group chat involving the 14 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.640 nation's top security officials and a journalist who is added 15 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.679 to the conversation by mistake. Tonight, President Trump. 16 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:52.719 Says, I still don't know how you get added by mistake. 17 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.399 I'm having real difficulty understanding this. I mean, we've all 18 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.479 butt dialed somebody, but we don't but add to a 19 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.679 group chat. I have enough trouble trying to figure out 20 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:05.519 how to add someone to a group chat. I can't 21 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:07.239 imagine accidentally doing it. 22 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.760 He knows nothing about the incident, and Secretary of Defense 23 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.040 Pete Hegseth is denying the allegations. 24 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.200 Well, the Trump administration confirms the text threat quote appears 25 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:19.200 to be legitimate. 26 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.840 Sandra Mitchell live in the KTLA News Center with details. 27 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.439 Cendra, Yeah, the messages appear to be authentic. That is 28 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.680 the word from the White House National Security Council spokesperson tonight. Now, 29 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.000 if it is true, it would be a stunning breach 30 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:38.280 of national security. Still, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is adamant. 31 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.120 He says, nothing confidential. 32 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.120 Was shared, all right, So what do we know? Officially? 33 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.000 The reporter says, I was added to the chat. The 34 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.519 Department of Defense says, yep, it's legit. Sec death. What 35 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.040 does he say? 36 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.560 As the US launched attacks on whot rebels in Yemen, 37 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.000 A journalist says he knew exactly what was unfolding. He 38 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.480 already told us this because he was mistakenly included in 39 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.199 a group chat by Mike Walls, President Trump's National security advisor, 40 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.960 with top officials sharing details of the war plan. 41 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.879 He was texting war plans. He was texting attack plans, 42 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.400 when targets were going to be targeted, how they were 43 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.479 going to be targeted. Who was at the targets when 44 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:26.439 the next sequence of attacks were happening. 45 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.800 Appearing on CNN tonight, the editor of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, 46 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.199 detailed how he mistakenly was included in an encrypted messaging 47 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.000 app with Vice President jd Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, 48 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.960 and fifteen other top officials talking about military strikes in Yemen. 49 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.639 So they accidentally added a journalist, and it just happened 50 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.919 to be accidentally one of the one of the top journalists. 51 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.520 It wasn't like they got somebody from the Poughkeepsie Weekly. 52 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.199 I didn't know what it was or or who it was. 53 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:02.400 I thought it was a hoax. 54 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.000 I thought somebody was trying to entrap me. 55 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.080 It was not a hoax. Back on March fifteenth, two 56 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.919 hours after Goldberg apparently got the tax the bombing began. 57 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.439 Nobody was texting war plans. 58 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:16.840 And that's all I have to say about that. 59 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.680 With some Democrats now furious over the current security breach 60 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.719 and calling for an immediate hearing on the matter, hag 61 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:28.000 Seth denied the allegation and attacked Goldberg's credibility. 62 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:34.960 They deceitful and highly discredited so called journalists who's made 63 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.240 a profession of peddling hoax his time and time again. 64 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.879 Christident Trump also criticizing the. 65 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.039 But how does that change the situation? Listen to what 66 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:46.639 HEGs has said. 67 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.360 Now, remember it's been confirmed by the Department of Defense, 68 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.599 if you're unfamiliar, The Secretary of Defense is over the 69 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.599 Department of Defense. So his department confirms, yes, this was 70 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.599 the check, Yes he was added to it. And then 71 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.919 Hegxith's response is, well the journalist is I don't like him. 72 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:17.040 They deceitful and highly discredited so called journalist who's made 73 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.360 a profession of pedaling hoaxes time and time again. 74 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.519 All right, even even taking what Hexith says and assuming 75 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:32.319 that's true, why was a deceitful and discredited so called 76 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.839 journalist who pedals hoaxes added to your war plans group chat? 77 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.439 And well, those weren't war plans. I've seen the report. 78 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:47.920 There's receipts, it's screenshots of the of the chat. It's 79 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.920 not as though it's up for dispute. His own his 80 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.040 own department said, yeah, that's legit. Yep, that was the chat. 81 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.800 So what is Hexith saying here? Hexyth, a former television 82 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.959 news guy, should know just because you yell at the 83 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.720 messenger doesn't mean the messenger was wrong or that the 84 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.800 message was errant. So this feels a lot like feels 85 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.959 a lot like when my daughter's cat finds itself stuck 86 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.279 in a paper bag and just starts freaking out. It 87 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.680 doesn't know where the opening is. It just starts swatting 88 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:23.439 at the inside of the paper bag. I'm gonna get 89 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.879 out of here somehow. In other words, he's throwing haymakers 90 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:32.439 and they're not really landing. He's just throwing haymakers. Because 91 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.720 the narrative when you start talking with your coworkers, and 92 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.160 you'll talk to some coworkers that are hard left, you'll 93 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.959 talk to friends that might be far right, you'll talk 94 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:41.959 to people that are in the middle, and you're discussing 95 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:43.560 this and you're saying, I can't believe they did this. 96 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.560 And someone's gonna say that journalist is trash. Pete Hegsith 97 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.079 says he's discredited, he pedals hoaxes, and you go, where's 98 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:55.160 the lie. Even if you don't like the journalist, even 99 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.240 if this journalist was full of trash before. 100 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.680 Even if this wasn't a journalist, if. 101 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:06.000 They somehow accidentally added your plumber to the group chat, 102 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:11.319 and the plumber took screenshots of the group chat. You 103 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.439 can't come out and say this is a terrible plumber. 104 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.160 My sink is still leaking after he was there. It 105 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.079 doesn't change the content of the group chat, and it 106 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.160 doesn't change the fact that their screenshots to show. 107 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:22.480 Yep, he was in it. 108 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.639 It also doesn't change the fact that the Department of 109 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:31.160 Defense acknowledged Yep, it's legit. So while you continue swinging 110 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.639 at the inside of that paper bag, you're not getting 111 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:34.839 any closer to finding your way out. 112 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.399 President Trump also criticizing The Atlantic and denied knowledge of 113 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.160 the attacks and said the attack on the Hooties was successful, and. 114 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.879 Again, attacking the Atlantic doesn't change the fact that there 115 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:47.560 are receipts. 116 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.000 I don't know anything about it. I'm not a big 117 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.439 fan of The Atlantic. To me, it's a magazine that's 118 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.680 going out of business. I think it's not much of 119 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.959 a magazine. But I know nothing about it. The attack 120 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.079 was very effective. I can tell you that I don't 121 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.000 know anything about it. 122 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.000 All Right, Again, we're attacking the Atlantic. We're saying they're 123 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:09.439 a trash organization. We're saying that this journalist is terrible. If, 124 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:14.199 in fact, The Atlantic is a bad news publication. If 125 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.040 this journalist is so bad at his job and is 126 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:21.279 discredited and is not someone anyone should listen to, why 127 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.959 was he added to the group chat? Oh, but it 128 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:30.120 was an accident. Why is he even in your contact list? 129 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.199 How does he end up on the signal app with 130 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.480 everybody else? The Vice President, the Secretary of Defense, the 131 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:42.319 National Security Advisor, and random guy who we all hate. 132 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.680 It's strange I have a group chat with a bunch 133 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:46.079 of guys. 134 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.240 We do. I'm gonna get geeky here for a minute. 135 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.560 We do every year we do a trip to Las 136 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.199 Vegas and we have this fantasy football draft and get together. 137 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.120 We hang out at the pool, we go get some drinks, 138 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.199 We talk about everybody's football teams and how bad they are, 139 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.759 and then throughout the year we converse often about sports, 140 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.560 sometimes about life, about my buddy's third marriage since since 141 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.279 the league got together, and how he's a serial womanizer, 142 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.920 another dude who's an absolute drunkard and continues to post 143 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:17.199 pictures and we simultaneously try to counsel him and egg 144 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.079 him on because we're dudes and that's what we do. 145 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.319 We had a guy that left the group. He was mad, 146 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.600 he was bitter at the rest of the group. Do 147 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.240 you know what we all did? We deleted his contact 148 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.360 info because we didn't like him anymore. How is it 149 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.600 you have a guy that is discredited, you claim as 150 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.360 a so called journalist, a hoax peddler, who works for 151 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.960 a terrible news organization, one that's failing going down the tubes, 152 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.320 won't be in business much longer, and yet he's still 153 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.919 so readily available in your contact list that he could 154 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:54.279 accidentally be added to the war chat? Is there anyone 155 00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:01.120 else being accidentally invited into these chats? Do we accidentally 156 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:06.720 invite Elon Musk into our classified information chats? Are we 157 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:12.519 accidentally inviting Vladimir Putin into our our chats? Who else 158 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:19.240 is being accidentally invited into our unsecure classified information group texts? 159 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:25.279 There are so many questions that this unforced error is 160 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:27.919 going to be significantly detrimental. Someone is going to lose 161 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.519 their job, you mark my word. Somebody's going to lose 162 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.080 their job over this, And I'm going to guess that's 163 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:38.679 the security advisor Waltz. Michael Waltz. I think he's probably 164 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:40.919 gonna lose his job. Because he's the one that accidentally 165 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.759 added the journalist to the unsecure group chat. And then 166 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.320 of course the Democrats are going to hammer on after 167 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:51.799 everything you talked about with Hillary Clinton's emails on an 168 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.559 or on a private server, how could you let this 169 00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.279 happen on a chat service that we don't run. There 170 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.759 are so many questions that are going to continue to 171 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.639 be asked about this. Just mark my words on that, 172 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.120 all right. Didn't want to talk fire for just a moment. 173 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:10.559 You heard the Conway's promo that some of the firefighters 174 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.799 are showing high levels of lead and mercury, the ones 175 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.399 that fought the Eating and the Palisades fires, which makes 176 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:16.840 you wonder how they got that. 177 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.360 What's where did it come from? They were breathing into smoke. 178 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.919 The smoke obviously had levels of lead and mercury in it, 179 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:27.559 and it makes you wonder what contained it that burned 180 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.440 and then what's the word a rated that I guess 181 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.879 not aerrated, vaporized it and then put it into the smoke. 182 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.279 But we are seeing calfires come out and they said 183 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:39.840 fire risk is. 184 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.759 Higher in far more areas than. 185 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.159 What we have said in the past. KTLA was reporting 186 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:47.240 on the new fire map. 187 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.200 Well two minutes after wild fires ravage our region, cal 188 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.360 Fire has released updated fire maps for southern California. This 189 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.720 marks the first time they have been updated in more 190 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.399 than a decade. The maps are compiled by the State 191 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:03.399 Forestry and Fire Protection Department and designate three levels of 192 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.519 fire hazards, moderate, high, and very high. This is based 193 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.759 on variables like vegetation, terrain, and recent burn history. Updated 194 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.320 maps for fifteen counties in central California were released two 195 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.519 weeks ago, and more than one point two million acres 196 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.799 were added into the hazard zones. 197 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.159 All right, and a total of three and a half 198 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:31.399 million acres statewide. Now here's where this gets interesting. According 199 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.279 to Orange County Register, new fire hazard zones appear to 200 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.320 leave out at least half of the neighborhoods that were 201 00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:42.320 burned during the Eton fire. So you have people that 202 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.919 live in areas that were decimated by fire, and cal 203 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.519 Fire has not added those neighborhoods to any sort of 204 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:53.200 even moderate risk area. The State Forestry and Fire Protection 205 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:57.279 Department compiled the maps. They indicate where the probability of 206 00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:59.240 the fire is the greatest over the next thirty to 207 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:03.279 fifty years, and then with that you have to consider 208 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:09.159 the different potential implications for rebuilding and some of the 209 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.600 homes and businesses that are rebuilding are We're going to have. 210 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.200 New building codes. 211 00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:21.039 Because of the new hazards that would extend the hazard map, 212 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:24.639 extends some of the susceptible areas a little bit further. 213 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:25.320 Into the communities. 214 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.600 And again when you talk about the new building codes, 215 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:30.759 I think there need to be some changes. Some changes 216 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.320 have been entered into the new building codes, including some 217 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.080 of the fire or what is it, the ember resistant vents, 218 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:40.720 that sort of thing. You have to wonder about some 219 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:44.559 of the building materials again talking back on the firefighters 220 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:46.679 that inhaled lead and mercury. 221 00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:47.759 Will there be. 222 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.279 Will there be codes that address materials that are being 223 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.039 used to make sure that they don't have any of 224 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.200 those happiness metals that are a part of those But 225 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.159 I have to wonder how much this is going going 226 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:05.639 to delay some of the rebuilding efforts, how much additional 227 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:08.320 cost this may put on some of the additional building efforts. 228 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.679 In Altadena, hazard maps released at least fourteen years ago, 229 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.759 designated just three to six blocks along the northern edge 230 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.000 of the neighborhoods is being a very high fire severity zone, 231 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.480 and the previous map on I had a very small 232 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.360 strip along the foothills in the bottom of the mountains. 233 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.720 They've extended those a bit further, but as we know, 234 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.840 the fire moved further into Altadena than even what these. 235 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.639 Maps had projected in the past. 236 00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:38.879 If we were to equate this to a different natural threat. 237 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.360 You know that when you buy a house, you have 238 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:45.200 to determine whether or not it's in a flood zone. 239 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.759 Some areas are high, you know, high flood risk areas. 240 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.840 Others are not high flood risk areas. So imagine if 241 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.559 you have a home that's in a moderate flood risk area, 242 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.320 and and so you have to have certain codes, you 243 00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.360 have to have certain sealants along the foundation of your home, 244 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.480 whatever that might be. And then all of a sudden, 245 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:08.440 you have this massive flood that comes through and it 246 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:10.759 decimates a home, and it creates all kinds of havoc 247 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:12.720 and you have to be evacuated. And then they come 248 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.559 out with a new flood risk map and they go, yeah, 249 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.559 but this home that was just just deemed to be 250 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.159 a flood loss that's not really in a dangerous area. 251 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:27.279 Imagine if after Katrina evaluators went through New Orleans and 252 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.639 they said, well, this whole ninth Ward that was underwater, 253 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.840 that's not really a high risk area. We would say, 254 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.799 we're still draining. How do you say it's not a 255 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.919 high risk area. We're still draining the water from the flood. 256 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.320 In the same way we're saying, how do you say 257 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.759 this is not a high risk area. We're still shoveling ashes. 258 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:51.279 How is this not high fire risk? I'm still sifting 259 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.600 through the remains of what used to be my house, 260 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:55.559 and you're telling me there isn't a high fire risk. 261 00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:00.360 There is a high fire risk. And so some people 262 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:01.679 are saying swinging a miss. 263 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:08.080 Things are continuing to move very rapidly in this fire 264 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:11.320 hose of chaos that is the current administration. Whether it's 265 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.000 bombings and Yemen, leaks about bombings in Yemen on unsecured chats, 266 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.320 or its arguments with the court system. 267 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:21.200 There's just so much happening. 268 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:24.000 And the latest arguments with the court system go back 269 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:27.720 to a judge and the judge says, nope, the block 270 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:29.200 remains in place. 271 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:33.000 This morning, another two hundred Venezuela nationals arrived in the 272 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:37.360 capital of Caracas after being deported by the Trump administration. Today, 273 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:40.000 three judges on an appeals panel in DC are set 274 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:43.000 to hear the controversial case of three previous planeloads of 275 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.039 Venezuela and migrants who were deported and they ended up 276 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:49.279 in a notorious prison in Elsalvador. The Trump administration is 277 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:52.080 now looking to reverse a federal judge's order trying to 278 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.600 halt deportations. This morning, Judge James Bosburg ruled the Venezuelan 279 00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:59.759 migrants deserve to have a court hearing before their deportations 280 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.519 to determine whether or not they belong to the violent 281 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.480 gang trend de ragua. Mister President, do you think you 282 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.480 have the authority the power to round up people, to 283 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:10.919 port them, and then you're under no obligation to a 284 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:12.919 court to show the evidence against them. 285 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:14.799 Well, that's what the law says, and that's what our 286 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:16.440 country needs the administration. 287 00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:19.039 So the slippery slope on this, of course, is that 288 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:24.440 by simply declaring anyone a terrorists, you can deport them 289 00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:26.879 if there is no due process, if there is no 290 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:31.039 recourse by the accused, then are we in fact a 291 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:31.840 nation of laws? 292 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:33.279 Do we have individual rights? 293 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:35.960 If all it takes is an accusation by someone in 294 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.559 authority to say you're a bad person. I can do 295 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:41.879 whatever I want to you because I have the authority 296 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.480 to do so. Do you have any rights? And I 297 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:47.360 know what you're thinking to think, well, that'll never happen 298 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.799 to me. And I get what you're saying, But at 299 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:54.639 what point? At what point do we draw the line? 300 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:55.159 Right? 301 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:58.480 What happens when you actually have to show evidence they well, 302 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:00.759 they're not US citizen? Well don't we have to have 303 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.159 due process where they could appeal the fact that you 304 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.559 say they're not here legally. We already know that we are. 305 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.119 We're detaining people who do have permanent residency simply because 306 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.200 the administration says, well that person's a terrorists, we're going 307 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:17.279 to revoke their visas. So is anybody safe is the 308 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:20.240 big question? And a judge says you. 309 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:22.519 Can't do it that way, went ahead with the deportations 310 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.039 despite the judges ruling to turn the planes carrying them around. 311 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:29.279 Boseburg warn there will be consequences if he decides his 312 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.960 order was deliberately disobeyed. President Trump ramping up attacks on Boseburg, 313 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:38.640 demanding heaping impeached or disbarred, and Trump's borders are defiant. 314 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:42.559 We're going to keep targeting the worst of the worst, 315 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.000 which we've been doing since day one in deporting from 316 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:47.599 the United States through the various flaws on the books. 317 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:50.400 They are targeting the worst of the worst. At least 318 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.000 they tell us that these people are the worst of 319 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.799 the worst. There's no evidence though. See, this is the issue. 320 00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.480 Because we also are getting stories of people like this 321 00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:59.200 couple in Orange County. If you didn't hear about this 322 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:01.160 as a couple of Orange County, been here thirty five years, 323 00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:05.759 raised their kids, have been paying taxes, and they're deported. 324 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:10.799 No criminal background, no criminal history by all accounts. Their 325 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.000 only crime is the misdemeanor of not having documents in 326 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:17.039 this country. They pay their taxes better than most Americans do. 327 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.680 But they're being deported. Are they the worst of the worst? 328 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:20.960 Right? 329 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.640 So you go, well, they broke the law, and you're 330 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:28.480 absolutely right, they broke the law they did. Is that 331 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:34.359 the priority? In other words, I heard I heard the 332 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.599 promo that John Cobbolt has coming up for a show today, 333 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.880 and he's right. If all of a sudden, HP designs 334 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:43.240 they're going to start enforcing speeding and you've been speeding 335 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:44.640 and they haven't pulled you over in the past, Well, 336 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:46.759 today's the day that they enforce it. It's just the 337 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:49.240 way it is. And he's one hundred percent correct on that. 338 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.240 But let's let's dive a little bit deeper. 339 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:52.440 Then. 340 00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:55.599 Suppose that you are driving with a group of cars 341 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:57.599 and we know how this happens. You end up in clusters, right, 342 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:00.680 or if this were racing with French and tight pants, 343 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.000 we would call this the peloton. So let's say that 344 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:05.759 you are in this peloton and you're you're going down 345 00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:10.440 the freeway and everybody's doing eighty and then somebody in 346 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.839 a lifted f two fifty comes flying by you. Somehow 347 00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:15.640 I don't know who's flying on the on the freeways, 348 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:17.279 but somehow they found a pocket and they. 349 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:19.640 Go flying by you. So you're driving with a bunch 350 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:19.960 of people. 351 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.920 Let's say there's six seven of you that are going eighty, 352 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.039 and this truck goes flying by, and you go, that 353 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:28.640 car that truck is easily doing ninety or ninety five, 354 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:33.079 and then you see Punch and John pull out and 355 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.160 they hit their lights and you go, they're gonna get 356 00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:40.000 that sucker, but they don't. They pull you over and 357 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:43.200 they give you a ticket, and you say, wait a minute, am. 358 00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:44.000 I the bigger threat? 359 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.599 Because I just watched this guy on in F two 360 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.079 fifty doing ninety five that just passed me? And I 361 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:50.079 know you saw him because I saw him past you 362 00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:52.759 before you pulled out and then and then stop me. 363 00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.240 And the officer goes, yeah, but you broke the law. 364 00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.759 The officer is one hundred percent correct, You did break 365 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.400 the law. Law you do deserve that ticket. Is that 366 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.319 the priority that we want our law enforcement working on? 367 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:09.400 Or do we want law enforcement working harder on the 368 00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:11.880 guy who is a bigger law breaker driving a vehicle 369 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:13.440 that is much larger than yours, that. 370 00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:14.799 Can do far more damage. 371 00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:19.359 And where we also have to be careful is just 372 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:21.480 because we know one guy is driving an F two 373 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:25.519 fifty at ninety five miles an hour doesn't mean that 374 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.279 everybody driving a pickup is violating the law. And this 375 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.039 is where the judge says there has to be due process. 376 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:36.599 If you say someone is a member of a gang 377 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:41.200 that you've deemed a terrorist organization, doesn't that person have 378 00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:43.880 the right to show up and say no, I'm not 379 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:48.519 And isn't the onus i'm the accuser to provide the 380 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.920 evidence that, yes, that person is a threat to national security, 381 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:54.559 in the same way that if you pull me over 382 00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:57.920 and I'm driving my pickup truck and you give me 383 00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:00.079 a ticket because I have a pickup truck. Therefore, or 384 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.440 I must be somebody who speeds and creates havoc, don't 385 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:06.599 I have the right to appeal that and say, show 386 00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:09.440 me the radar, show me the evidence that you caught 387 00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:14.480 me speeding. This is what's at issue, And instead what 388 00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:18.880 we hear is the judge is a bad person. I 389 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:21.359 don't know that we're actually making things safer this way. 390 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:25.400 Yesterday I was talking with you about this, twenty three 391 00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:27.240 and Me filing for bankruptcy. 392 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:29.519 Maybe you remember the story ABC seven was reporting on 393 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:30.720 aenetic testing company. 394 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.920 Twenty three and Me has now filed for Chapter eleven 395 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.440 bankruptcy protection. The firm, valued at fifty million dollars, is 396 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.799 pushing for a buyout. So far, the board has rejected 397 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:43.759 all offers, now saying a court supervised sale is the 398 00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:47.480 best path forward. Twenty three and Me will continue operations 399 00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:50.319 during this process. This, of course, comes just one day 400 00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:53.839 after California Attorney General Rob Bonte issued a consumer alert 401 00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:57.720
