Speaker 1: thous of people and their pets out there. And right now,
Speaker 1: I have cats because I don't know how you guys are,
Speaker 1: but I have an apartment, so it's just not fair
Speaker 1: for me to try to have a dog right now,
Speaker 1: because I know myself well enough that I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: very good at taking him out on walks. And it
Speaker 1: made me really want dogs. And there was lots of
Speaker 1: teeny tiny dogs and big old dogs. We'll tell you
Speaker 1: about it, but it was a fabulous day. And before

Speaker 1: on fundraising and all that stuff coming up in just
Speaker 1: a little bit. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call.
Speaker 1: A soccer coach has been questioned about the disappearance and
Speaker 1: death of a thirteen year old boy from the San
Speaker 1: Fernando Valley. Police and court records show the coach has
Speaker 1: also been arrested on an unrelated actual assault charge.
Speaker 4: From last year.
Speaker 1: The boy's body was found in a ditch in a
Speaker 1: wooded area off a road in Oxnard.
Speaker 4: Last week.

Speaker 1: Beach Wow, I'm a klempt On a Monday morning, A
Speaker 1: wayward whale that had been swimming around Long Beach Harbor and.
Speaker 4: Captivated crowds has died.
Speaker 1: Experts say the whale had appeared to be healthy, it
Speaker 1: just wouldn't leave the harbor, but it was discovered dead yesterday.
Speaker 1: Necropsy will be done to try to figure out why
Speaker 1: the winky mail Minky whale died.
Speaker 4: It's going to be one of those kind of mornings.
Speaker 4: Just so you know.
Speaker 1: President Trump says he is not backing down on tariffs
Speaker 1: unless countries even out their trade with the US. On
Speaker 1: board Air Force one yesterday, Trump said he doesn't want
Speaker 1: global markets to fall and wasn't worried about the massive
Speaker 1: sell off on Wall Street last week. He said, in
Speaker 1: his words, sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something. Also,
Speaker 1: a head on Wake Up Call kfi's White House correspondent
Speaker 1: John Decker, who's on, who's calling the White House as
Speaker 1: tariffs take hold. We're going to talk to him a
Speaker 1: little bit later. A judge says, bring him back. ABC's
Speaker 1: Stephen Portnoy's going to tell us about the deported Salvadoran
Speaker 1: who the White House admits was mistakenly swept up at
Speaker 1: an Ice raid and sent to prison, an Ilshalvador.
Speaker 4: And you may have seen him.
Speaker 1: The adorable dog buzzing around in a mini cyber truck
Speaker 1: while Swaggy is in hot water for a stunt on
Speaker 1: baseball's opening day at Dodger Stadium. Let's start with some
Speaker 1: of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
Speaker 1: hour newsroom.
Speaker 4: The family of a thirteen.
Speaker 1: Year old boy from the valley found dead and Oxnard
Speaker 1: says the coach the team went to visit before he
Speaker 1: died has been arrested on a separate sexual assault charge.
Speaker 1: That case is from February of last year. The boy's
Speaker 1: mom says her son had gone to the coach's house
Speaker 1: in Lancaster to help paint the team's soccer jerseys, but
Speaker 1: never made it home. His body was found last week
Speaker 1: in a ditch off a road in a wooded area.
Speaker 1: Several women and kids have been hurt by a minivan
Speaker 1: that plowed into a crowd in downtown Laka. If i's
Speaker 1: Daniel Martindale says it happened yesterday near Santee Alley in
Speaker 1: the Fashion District.
Speaker 5: Video from a witness shows a damaged minivan stopped on
Speaker 5: a sidewalk under a collapsed patio. The six adults and
Speaker 5: three children who were injured are in fair condition. Seven
Speaker 5: of the nine victims were taken to hospitals for treatment.
Speaker 1: Investigators they're trying to figure out what led up to
Speaker 1: the crash. At least a dozen current and former UCLA
Speaker 1: students are among three hundred in the US who have
Speaker 1: had their visas revoked by the FEDS.
Speaker 6: So far, more than three dozen students across the UC campuses,
Speaker 6: including Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, San Diego, and UCLA have all
Speaker 6: been affected. At least six students at Stanford have also
Speaker 6: lost their visas. Official say students were notified after routine
Speaker 6: federal database checks. The government has not explained the terminations,
Speaker 6: but the actions occur following several high profile cases of
Speaker 6: pro Palestinian scholars being detained by the federal government. Andrew
Speaker 6: Caravella KFI News.
Speaker 1: School say they're offering legal aid for international students submit
Speaker 1: growing uncertainty. The World Series winning LA Dodgers are visiting
Speaker 1: the White House today. They're doing it while the team
Speaker 1: is in DC for a three game series against the
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals. Shortstop Mookie Betts stild reporters Friday he'd be
Speaker 1: joining the team today after he decided not to join
Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox on a visit in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: during Trump's first term. The Dodgers last visited the White
Speaker 1: House as World Series champions in twenty twenty one. You
Speaker 1: can catch all the Dodger games on our sister station,
Speaker 1: klac AM five seventy. Let's say good morning now to
Speaker 1: ABC's Geordana Miller. Geordana, Israel continues its assault in Gaza.
Speaker 1: What's the latest in the southern city of Rafa.
Speaker 7: Well, we saw Israel put out new evacuation orders last
Speaker 7: night for central Gaza, and that was after Hamas claimed
Speaker 7: a strike on southern Israel that included ten rockets. Five
Speaker 7: were shot down, five landed in open areas.
Speaker 8: There were a few people with.
Speaker 7: Mild injuries and some buildings and cars damaged, but nothing major.
Speaker 7: But it does show that Hamas still has capabilities to
Speaker 7: strike up to twenty miles twenty five miles from its border.
Speaker 7: Those were long range rockets that were fired, and so
Speaker 7: the back and forth is continuing. We're going to see
Speaker 7: the Israeli Prime Minister meet face to face with President
Speaker 7: Trump today in Washington, a kind of ad hoc meeting,
Speaker 7: if you will, that was planned really at the last minute.
Speaker 7: It was born out of a phone call that the
Speaker 7: Prime Minister had with Trump from Hungary to talk about
Speaker 7: the tariffs. Right amid all the countries, Israel has a
Speaker 7: seventeen percent tariff according to the White House, and so
Speaker 7: Nitanie is coming to talk about that, and of course
Speaker 7: to talk about Gaza, the stalled ceasefire talks ran and
Speaker 7: even Turkey's new role in Syria. So a lot on
Speaker 7: the agenda, and I think what comes out of this
Speaker 7: meeting with Natanielle, specifically in regards to tariffs, may set
Speaker 7: the tone for other foreign leaders who we know have
Speaker 7: been calling the White House and who want to try
Speaker 7: to negotiate with the President.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've been talking and it's going to be an
Speaker 1: interesting at least few weeks to see how the world
Speaker 1: reacts to those tariffs. You mentioned that Turkey's got a
Speaker 1: new rule in Syria.
Speaker 7: What's that, Well, Turkey, according to the Israelis, Turkey has
Speaker 7: been in Syria. On the ground, we're you know, looking
Speaker 7: at various military sites that either were once part of
Speaker 7: the Syrian regime under Bashah Assad or were part of
Speaker 7: the Russia of Russia's military build up in Syria, for example,
Speaker 7: the T four base, and apparent you know, israel Is
Speaker 7: uninterested in Turkey setting up any kind of military forces
Speaker 7: in Syria. And we saw the Israelis carry out very
Speaker 7: aggressive bombing campaigns across Syria in the last week, including
Speaker 7: at that T four base, and then officials coming out
Speaker 7: and saying this was a message to Turkey not to
Speaker 7: get involved in Syria, right, not to align itself with
Speaker 7: the new leader of Syria, which the Israelis say is
Speaker 7: just an Islamist you know, in a tie and a suit.
Speaker 7: But nobody who is really willing to accept Israel's presence
Speaker 7: in the region, right, So it puts the United States
Speaker 7: in a difficult position because Turkey, of course is part
Speaker 7: of NATO, and Turkey has often flirted between the West
Speaker 7: and the Russia Iranian access. So this is a new development,
Speaker 7: and certainly the Prime Minister is going to ask for
Speaker 7: Trump's help in preventing Turkey from any kind of presence
Speaker 7: in Syria.
Speaker 1: Okay, And then last week we got word that Hamas
Speaker 1: had said it was ready to release all the hostages
Speaker 1: as long as that Israel would leave the strip.
Speaker 4: Has Israel responded to that offering.
Speaker 7: Well, it's essentially kind of a false proposal. Even though
Speaker 7: Hamas said, yes, you know, we'll give you all the
Speaker 7: we'll give you everyone every you know, all of the
Speaker 7: hostages back. There's twenty four that are alive and over
Speaker 7: thirty bodies. Hamas is unwilling to step aside and relinquish
Speaker 7: control of the Gaza Strip. And so it's not enough
Speaker 7: to say we'll give you all the hostages back, and
Speaker 7: if you just leave the strip and just leave us
Speaker 7: alone in the Gaza Strip, now we can just declare
Speaker 7: the war over.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 7: I mean, Israel and the United States and much of
Speaker 7: the West has a serious interest in making sure that
Speaker 7: Hamas does not retain control of the Gaza Strip. And so,
Speaker 7: you know, it's kind of like putting a deal on
Speaker 7: the table that you know that the person in front
Speaker 7: of you is going to reject just for the sake
Speaker 7: of saying, hey, we're putting you know, it's like putting
Speaker 7: one piece of the pie on the table, right, Okay.
Speaker 4: So that wasn't any major night or anything like that.
Speaker 8: No, it's not a real no.
Speaker 4: Okay. And are they still talking or is it everything
Speaker 4: just stalled?
Speaker 7: Well, things are stalled, and I think you know, this
Speaker 7: meeting that Nataniel is going to have with Trump could
Speaker 7: get things moving. Again, right, Witkoff is going to be
Speaker 7: at the meeting. Steve Witkoff, the Midie stamvoy, and Ron Dermer,
Speaker 7: the Israeli who's really now heading the negotiating team, he'll
Speaker 7: be He's flying to Washington as well. So we a
Speaker 7: some movement on that. It's clear the President wants another deal,
Speaker 7: and I think the Israelis want to get out anyone
Speaker 7: they can that's still alive before a larger operation because
Speaker 7: they know the Israelis know the MOSS is not going
Speaker 7: to turn over every hostage. It's the only card they have, right,
Speaker 7: so they're trying to optimize how many people they can
Speaker 7: get out now before they have to go in. And unfortunately,
Speaker 7: you know the hostages that may be left there, it's
Speaker 7: Russian roulette. Who will survive?
Speaker 1: All right, ABC's Jerdona Miller. Thanks for bringing us up
Speaker 1: to date.
Speaker 4: We'll be talking to you soon, Tuxon.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Talk
Speaker 1: of a recession is heating up as Trump administration tariffs
Speaker 1: take effect. JP Morgan is now raising the odds of
Speaker 1: a recession this year to sixty percent. Former Treasury Secretary
Speaker 1: Larry Summers's inflation is going up because tariffs are making
Speaker 1: prices higher.
Speaker 9: Loss to the economy is like if all oil price
Speaker 9: is doubled. Ever seen anything like this before?
Speaker 1: He says, this gives people less spending power. British carmaker
Speaker 1: Jaguar land Rover is suspending shipments to the US because
Speaker 1: of the tariffs. Other carmakers in Europe say they may
Speaker 1: do the same. Former Jaguar land Rover worker Richard Shuttleworth
Speaker 1: says a lot of their trade is with the US.
Speaker 1: They're all going to be a lot of jobs lost
Speaker 1: if they don't get it sorted. The US carmaker says
Speaker 1: its paws on shipments will stay in place for a
Speaker 1: month while it assesses the effects of a twenty five
Speaker 1: percent tariff. Rising rivers and flooding have worsened across the
Speaker 1: South and Midwest, threatening communities already damaged by days of
Speaker 1: rain and storms that have killed at least eighteen people
Speaker 1: from Texas to Ohio. Utilities have been scrambling to shut
Speaker 1: power and gas off, and cities have been giving out
Speaker 1: sandbags to protect homes and businesses. Forecasters warned that flooding
Speaker 1: could go on for days, especially in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama.
Speaker 1: Ukraine is planning to send a delegation to Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Next week for talks on a new draft of a
Speaker 1: proposed mineral deal with the US. Talks installed earlier this
Speaker 1: year after a contentious oval awful oval office meeting between
Speaker 1: Presidents Trump and Zelenski in February, the two US Senators
Speaker 1: from New York, Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, are calling
Speaker 1: on the Trump administration to keep all staffing for the
Speaker 1: World Trade Center Health Program.
Speaker 9: They are messing around with this program, this sacred, vital program,
Speaker 9: and we say enough.
Speaker 1: There are reports that employees in the program got notices
Speaker 1: on Friday saying they could lose their jobs. The program
Speaker 1: provides health services to nine to eleven first responders and
Speaker 1: survivors who are sick with nine to eleven related illnesses.
Speaker 1: The head of the World Trade Center Health Program has
Speaker 1: been let go, but Long Island Republican Congressman Andrew Garbarino
Speaker 1: says doctor John Hower was re hired last week. A
Speaker 1: new study shows having a strong willed mindset can increase
Speaker 1: your life expectancy.
Speaker 4: Ooh, I'm going to live forever.
Speaker 1: Research by Parens shows having a touch of tenacity or
Speaker 1: even stubbornness, can actually be an asset to help you
Speaker 1: live longer. The study says stubbornness doesn't necessarily mean refusing
Speaker 1: to change, but rather it can mean being resilient in
Speaker 1: the long term. Hundreds of La County Sheriff's deputies have
Speaker 1: boycotted the annual Baker to Vegas Challenge cup relay. They
Speaker 1: say it's in protest to what they call the wrongful
Speaker 1: conviction of fellow deputy Trevor Kirk. Kirk was found guilty
Speaker 1: in February of using excessive force on a woman who
Speaker 1: was robbing a grocery store in Lancaster. Stock futures not
Speaker 1: looking good as we head into the trading week, following
Speaker 1: the worst two days on Wall Street since the pandemic.
Speaker 1: The markets have been tumbling over concerns that President Trump
Speaker 1: has ignited a global trade war with his new tariffs.
Speaker 1: Friend's national championship in college basketball will be decided tonight
Speaker 1: in San Antonio, when the Florida Gators take on Houston
Speaker 1: in the women's NCAA final. Ukont dominated South Carolina eighty
Speaker 1: two fifty nine last night to win the women's championship title.
Speaker 1: At six oh five, it's Handled on the news, and
Speaker 1: Handle is back from Italy. Can't wait to find out
Speaker 1: all those things that he hasn't been telling you over
Speaker 1: the last three weeks.
Speaker 4: Let's say good.
Speaker 1: Morning now to ABC's White House correspond not ABC's kfi's
Speaker 1: white House correspondent, John Decker. You know, John, I did
Speaker 1: it like for a week without calling you ABC's correspondent,
Speaker 1: So got to give me a little credit.
Speaker 4: But I will warn you.
Speaker 9: My bold habits die hard, die hard.
Speaker 2: And I'm going to fall back on.
Speaker 1: I'm going to fall back on that. My mouth is
Speaker 1: not working today. I don't know why. Maybe it's because
Speaker 1: I exercised yesterday and my brain's like going, what you
Speaker 1: don't exercise? So anyway, let's get down to business. So
Speaker 1: we had a terrible two days on the stock market.
Speaker 1: We did, Yeah, lots of people talking about recession and
Speaker 1: are we expecting another dive today?
Speaker 9: Well, stock futures Adalla stock futures point to that, and
Speaker 9: other financial markets around the world also point to that.
Speaker 9: Whether you're looking at indices from China, from other indices
Speaker 9: in Asia or also in Europe or London, We'll have
Speaker 9: to wait and see. As you point out down days
Speaker 9: as it relates to the US financial markets both Thursday
Speaker 9: and Friday, on paper at least six trillion dollars in
Speaker 9: losses just over those two days. But the President, Amy,
Speaker 9: he does not show any signs of backing down related
Speaker 9: to his trade tariffs policy. He believes that it's in
Speaker 9: the good long term interest of the United States.
Speaker 2: He believes it will lead to a.
Speaker 9: Return of manufacturing jobs to the United States. Wall Street
Speaker 9: obviously does not look at it that in the same manner.
Speaker 9: But the President, you know, today he'll be talking about
Speaker 9: trade terriffs with a foreign counterpart, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Speaker 9: Netanyahu at the White House. They'll be a joint press
Speaker 9: conference this afternoon. Amy, Typically they just talk about security,
Speaker 9: but this particular visit, they're also talking about trade.
Speaker 1: Okay, And apparently Netanyaho isn't the only one who's coming
Speaker 1: knock in.
Speaker 9: Who are you referring to specifically when you say that, Well.
Speaker 1: That Trump yesterday was saying that, and some of his
Speaker 1: advisors too are saying that they've gotten calls from like
Speaker 1: fifty countries about the tariffs.
Speaker 9: Oh yes, yeah, I've heard that number. I've always skeptical
Speaker 9: or cynical when I hear list this perfect round number
Speaker 9: of fifty. You know, it's not forty nine, it's not
Speaker 9: thirty five, it's not thirty six, it's fifty. But in
Speaker 9: any case, that's what certain advisors to the president are
Speaker 9: saying as it relates to the Israeli Prime minister. Seventeen
Speaker 9: percent tariffs. That's what Israel is now facing as it
Speaker 9: relates to President Trump's trade tariffs policy. But so far,
Speaker 9: despite all of those outreach conversations that, according to the
Speaker 9: White House, have been going on, there has been no reversal,
Speaker 9: no downgrade as it relates to the trade tariff the
Speaker 9: numbers that the President has put out there for each
Speaker 9: individual country.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then when it comes to Israel, right before
Speaker 1: the tariffs went into effect, I know that Israel had said, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll drop all our tariffs. But now they're still facing
Speaker 1: seventeen percent. And didn't Trump say we want you guys
Speaker 1: to drop your tariffs and then will drop our tariffs.
Speaker 3: So there's some sort my understanding.
Speaker 9: You know, that's that's the word of reciprocal. You know,
Speaker 9: that's what that word means. But the President has not
Speaker 9: done that. Interesting that you mentioned that, Amy, because over
Speaker 9: the weekend, a big advisor to President Trump, that's Elon Musk,
Speaker 9: he put out there on social media. Wouldn't it be
Speaker 9: great to just have no trade tariffs in place for
Speaker 9: both the US and the European Union, so there would
Speaker 9: be essentially a free trade agreement between the EU in
Speaker 9: the US. But there's no sign of the President taking
Speaker 9: up Elon Musk on that piece of advice.
Speaker 1: And I wonder if the whole free trade thing could
Speaker 1: actually happen, because, like you know, Trump says he loves
Speaker 1: to use tariffs to try to, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: muscle other countries and stuff. So what's the likelihood that
Speaker 1: we would just say, Okay, guys, we're going to just trade.
Speaker 1: There's no tariffs anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I don't think that there's likelihood of that, because what
Speaker 9: the President wants is he wants to improve the trade
Speaker 9: and balance that exists right now with the US and
Speaker 9: most of the rest of the world. The US has
Speaker 9: a trade surplus as it relates to certain countries, and
Speaker 9: believe it or not, with Great Britain, with Australia, but
Speaker 9: not with many countries, and zones around the world, not
Speaker 9: with China, not with the European Union, and the President
Speaker 9: believes that because of that trade and balance that exists,
Speaker 9: the only way to get to the point where there
Speaker 9: potentially could be a trade surplus that the US has
Speaker 9: is through this trade tariff's policy. So I think he's
Speaker 9: sticking with it despite the fact that financial markets do
Speaker 9: not like it. And you have some I guess you
Speaker 9: can call them titans of Wall Street weighing in Jamie Diamond,
Speaker 9: who heads up City Group. In addition to that Bill Ackman,
Speaker 9: who runs a huge hedge fund and was a huge
Speaker 9: backer of President Trump, both urging the President to put
Speaker 9: on pause this tariff's policy. But again the President, despite
Speaker 9: that advice coming from some of those Wall Street advisors,
Speaker 9: the President sticking with it.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay if I's White House correspondent John Decker, thanks
Speaker 1: for the info.
Speaker 9: Thanks Amy, bybye, all right, talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: Friends and family have been mourning the deaths of four
Speaker 1: young people killed in a crash in Santa Anna. A
Speaker 1: vigil was held last night. This girl says the teens
Speaker 1: were fun to hang out with.
Speaker 4: They were always there first, and like we're always there
Speaker 4: for each other and like I wish I could have
Speaker 4: spent more time with them, like before they left.
Speaker 1: Thanks. Police say the eighteen year old driver was apparently
Speaker 1: speeding late Saturday night, missed a turn and smashed into
Speaker 1: a tree. News brought to you by Simper Solaris. Scientists
Speaker 1: at UC Riverside say they've found that pregnant women who
Speaker 1: vape menthol flavored e cigarettes run a higher risk of
Speaker 1: affecting their baby's development. Researcher chap Non Etamadi tells KFI
Speaker 1: menthol in the blood of pregnant women can stunt the
Speaker 1: cell growth of their embryo, and that can be deadly.
Speaker 5: It can cause the disk off the cells, so that's
Speaker 5: why the m real grew smaller, because the cells will die.
Speaker 1: The researchers say the use of esigs by pregnant women
Speaker 1: should be discouraged until the effects on their embryos of
Speaker 1: flavor chemicals like menthol are fully understood. Uncle Sam won't
Speaker 1: be paying for anti obesity drugs anytime soon. ABC's Rena
Speaker 1: roy says the Trump administration's Center for Medicare and Medicaid
Speaker 1: Services has chosen not to finalize a rule proposed by
Speaker 1: the Biden administration to cover the cost of the drugs.
Speaker 3: Miscoverage could have helped many people.
Speaker 6: With about one hundred and fifty million Americans enrolled in
Speaker 6: Medicaid Medicare, millions.
Speaker 3: Of them have been diagnosed with obesity.
Speaker 1: She says those drugs can cost more than one thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a month. The baseball thrown for the final out
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four World Series has sold at
Speaker 1: auction for four hundred and fourteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: Wall swung out for a strikeout was thrown by pitcher
Speaker 5: Walker Bueller to catcher Will Smith last October thirty, sealing
Speaker 5: the world title for the Dodgers over the New York Yankees.
Speaker 5: It was auctioned by Smith and his wife Kara through
Speaker 5: their Catching Hope Foundation in partnership with the Bueller Family
Speaker 5: Foundation and the Dodgers Organization.
Speaker 1: Kafi's Daniel Martindale says the money will support wildfire relief
Speaker 1: efforts in La Good News, a car full of mostly
Speaker 1: teenagers has crashed into a tree in Santa Anna, killing
Speaker 1: four of the six people in it. Santa Ana police
Speaker 1: say the car was speeding when it crashed late Saturday night.
Speaker 1: Three of the people got thrown from the car. Two
Speaker 1: are in the hospital, one is in critical condition. Police
Speaker 1: say they believe that drugs or alcohol could have been
Speaker 1: a factor. Three hundred international student visas have been terminated
Speaker 1: by the Trump administration. UCLA Chancellor Chancellor Julio Frank says
Speaker 1: the decision impacts at least a half dozen current and
Speaker 1: a half dozen former UCLA students. The federal government hasn't
Speaker 1: said why the visas were terminated. The baseball thrown for
Speaker 1: the final out of the twenty twenty four World Series
Speaker 1: has been sold at auction four hundred and fourteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: The ball was thrown by pitcher Walker Bueller to catcher
Speaker 1: Will Smith on October thirtieth. The proceeds from the auction
Speaker 1: are going to go to LA wildfire relief. We're just
Speaker 1: minutes away from Handle on the news this morning. Handle
Speaker 1: is back. Thousands turned out in La to protest the
Speaker 1: president's policies. Handle's going to talk about that and so
Speaker 1: much more. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's
Speaker 1: Stephen Portnoy.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Stephen.
Speaker 1: So we have a guy from Maryland who was deported
Speaker 1: and sent to an El Salvador in prison, but what
Speaker 1: happened on Friday that might change that.
Speaker 10: Well, I'm not sure that anything's starily going to change that,
Speaker 10: but let's talk about what happened on Friday. We're talking
Speaker 10: about the man Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He was from Al Salvador,
Speaker 10: came to this country some years ago, applied for asylum,
Speaker 10: and the immigration court at the time in twenty eighteen said, well,
Speaker 10: you know, they say you remember of MS thirteen.
Speaker 3: He denies it. We're not going to grant.
Speaker 10: You asylum, but because you say that you were subject
Speaker 10: to violence in El Salvador from another gang barrio eighteen,
Speaker 10: we will protect you from deportation to your home country.
Speaker 10: We will withhold you from removal. And that was six
Speaker 10: years ago. So the man has gotten married to an
Speaker 10: American citizen, he's had children all this and apparently he's
Speaker 10: not been in any trouble, no crimes alleged, but he's
Speaker 10: got swept off the streets last month and was sent
Speaker 10: to El Salvador, his native country, where the immigration court
Speaker 10: said he wouldn't be sent. The federal government's position is, oops,
Speaker 10: we made a mistake. It's an administrative error, but too bad,
Speaker 10: too sad, too late. Nothing can be done because he's
Speaker 10: now in the custody of the El Salvador and authorities
Speaker 10: in the prison where we sent him, and there's nothing
Speaker 10: we can do. The judge in this case in Maryland
Speaker 10: has viewed this as an utterly lawless situation, demanding answers
Speaker 10: from the government is to how this happened and why well.
Speaker 10: The administration has been loath to provide that information. And
Speaker 10: in fact, on Friday in the district court in Maryland,
Speaker 10: you had an attorney Erez Ruveny is his name, trying
Speaker 10: to represent the US government before the court.
Speaker 3: He said, quote, your.
Speaker 10: Honor, my answer to a lot of these questions is
Speaker 10: going to be frustrating, and I'm also frustrated that I
Speaker 10: have no answers for you on a lot of these
Speaker 10: questions about why this man was taken into custody and
Speaker 10: why he was sent off, and why the government's position
Speaker 10: now is that he can't be brought back.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 10: In response to that argument, on behalf of the US government,
Speaker 10: the Justice Department has sidelined this man put him on
Speaker 10: administrative leave, alleging that he has failed to zealously advocate
Speaker 10: for his client, and not just him, but also his
Speaker 10: supervisor in the Justice Department has been put on leave
Speaker 10: for failure to supervise a subordinate And now the question becomes,
Speaker 10: what now, What of kilmar Abrego Garcia and people who
Speaker 10: may be similarly situated. We're not talking about the alleged
Speaker 10: Venezuelan gang members, the alleged members of Trende Arragua, who
Speaker 10: the administrations say are the worst of the worst, who
Speaker 10: were never on the streets, but were in detention in
Speaker 10: US facilities and were sent by the US government to
Speaker 10: l Salvador and are now imprisoned there. If you caught
Speaker 10: sixty minutes last night, you saw the story of the
Speaker 10: young makeup artist who was, according to nobody involved and
Speaker 10: nobody but the federal government involved in Trende Aragua. And
Speaker 10: they've offered no evidence publicly to back up the argument
Speaker 10: except that, well, he had these tattoos and there was
Speaker 10: a crown, and apparently he was involved in beauty pageants
Speaker 10: and that's why he had the crown tattoo. Suffice it
Speaker 10: to say, the government's position is, we don't have to
Speaker 10: answer these questions, and how dare the judges ask there's
Speaker 10: a midnight deadline tonight that the judge in Maryland has
Speaker 10: set for the return of this kilmar Abrego Garcia. The
Speaker 10: federal government has gone to court in Richmond, Virginia, the
Speaker 10: appeals court above the district court, to say that the
Speaker 10: judge has no right to require this and there's no
Speaker 10: way we can comply because this man is now in
Speaker 10: the custody of a foreign government.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is I just beg so many questions
Speaker 1: and Stephen like, why couldn't they bring him back? I mean,
Speaker 1: they can go in and they can go hey, l Salvador,
Speaker 1: we gave you all these prisoners.
Speaker 4: We need this one back.
Speaker 3: The position of the government is we can't and we won't.
Speaker 4: Okay. And then here's another question. So he may have Oh.
Speaker 10: And by the way, oh yeah, why would we is
Speaker 10: part of the argument because yeah, isn't this a gang member?
Speaker 3: Well he says he's not.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was just going to ask you,
Speaker 1: is because he says he's not. Pam Bondy was saying
Speaker 1: that she there was ice interviews. They're saying he was
Speaker 1: involved with them as since thirteen. But like you said,
Speaker 1: if he was given that protection from deportation and he
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten in trouble, for six years, Like, how far
Speaker 1: back do they go? Maybe he saw the light got
Speaker 1: out of the gang.
Speaker 3: Well, if he was ever involved in it.
Speaker 10: In fact, remember that the long story this man involves
Speaker 10: his parents had a restaurant in l Salvador. According to
Speaker 10: the filing, he claims he was a victim of violence
Speaker 10: from the Barrio eighteen gang because of the involvement of
Speaker 10: the restaurant. I guess it was some sort of I
Speaker 10: don't know, protection racket. You can think of any kind
Speaker 10: of organized crime situation in El Salvador. And so he
Speaker 10: fled that country to come to this one, and I
Speaker 10: don't believe he did it legally. There's always a question about, well,
Speaker 10: did did he come to the country legally? There are
Speaker 10: a lot of these cases involved people who showed up
Speaker 10: at the border, in some cases with an appointment to
Speaker 10: claim asylum, but the asylum officer looked at them and said,
Speaker 10: up those that's a tattoo. We're gonna put you in
Speaker 10: the lock up while we hear your case. And because
Speaker 10: they made a determination based on how a person looks,
Speaker 10: or maybe what they a picture they saw on social
Speaker 10: media flashing a gang sign, or what they perceived to
Speaker 10: be a gang sign no real opportunity for a presentation
Speaker 10: of evidence other than the tattoo and the picture, and
Speaker 10: they say, up, that's it.
Speaker 3: In the case of this man of Brago Garcia.
Speaker 10: It was based on the testimony of a confidential inform Well,
Speaker 10: who is that person?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 10: And how trustworthy? Well, he's been trusted before. Trust who
Speaker 10: trust why? And the only argument from the administration is
Speaker 10: trust me, trust Trump and trust these people? How dare
Speaker 10: you question them? Well, traditionally in this country we have
Speaker 10: the ability to confront our accusers and that this evidence
Speaker 10: that the government has the burden of proof to prove
Speaker 10: that these people are telling the truth. In the case
Speaker 10: of this man, the only court, the immigration court that
Speaker 10: he stood before, said that he had something of a point.
Speaker 10: And yet he's wound up in prison in Al Salvador
Speaker 10: country where he's never been accused of committing a crime,
Speaker 10: sent there by this country who has not accused him
Speaker 10: of committing a crime either.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we have the midnight deadline tonight to see
Speaker 1: what happens.
Speaker 10: Next, and it becomes the increasing conflict between the executive
Speaker 10: and judicial branches over how much power the president has
Speaker 10: to pull people off the street.
Speaker 3: Now are they citizens of this country? No.
Speaker 10: But what the ACLU argues is if the president can
Speaker 10: invoke a wartime authority, as he did in the case
Speaker 10: of the Venezuela and alleged Venezuelan.
Speaker 3: Gang members, well then at what point is there any
Speaker 3: kind of check on the president's power.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing this is a battle that's going to continue
Speaker 1: for a long time.
Speaker 4: ABC.
Speaker 1: Stephen Portnoy, thank you so much for the information. As always,
Speaker 1: you help, you know, feel back the onion and give
Speaker 1: us the details that we don't always get.
Speaker 4: We appreciate it. You've bet all right.
Speaker 1: Time to get in your business now with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho, Courtney,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the markets.
Speaker 4: What the heck.
Speaker 8: It's day, so I know it's exhausting pretty much.
Speaker 7: Good morning.
Speaker 8: Investors are sending pretty much a queer message to Washington
Speaker 8: that the trade war is threatening to set up a recession.
Speaker 8: We have seen stocks recover a bit from deeper losses.
Speaker 8: We had JP Morgan CEO Jamie Diamond coming in weighing
Speaker 8: out weighing on tariffs, and in a letter to shareholders
Speaker 8: he said he is concerned, warning that the tariffs are
Speaker 8: likely to push up prices in the short term and
Speaker 8: risk a longer term damage to the economy. So he said,
Speaker 8: the quicker the issue of tariffs has resolved, the better,
Speaker 8: so the hope for resolution helping stocks come off earlier lose.
Speaker 8: But also traders have increased their expectations of the Fetter
Speaker 8: Reserve cutting interest rates this year, and they're looking at
Speaker 8: about five quarter point moves, So the pace of the
Speaker 8: selloff slowing down a bit. Taking look at DOWN futures,
Speaker 8: we're not down to south more than a thousand points
Speaker 8: like we were earlier. Today, we're only down eight hundred
Speaker 8: and forty Taking a look at S ANDP futures, that's
Speaker 8: down two point three percent. But stocks wrapping up Friday
Speaker 8: session had the worst two day plunge since the height
Speaker 8: of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. So we're expecting another down day at some point.
Speaker 1: According to people start saying, hey, now's the time for
Speaker 1: bargains and start buying stuff back.
Speaker 8: Yes, there are some people who are out there saying,
Speaker 8: all right, it's time to jump in. We've seen a
Speaker 8: pullback in the certain stocks that they are looking at. However,
Speaker 8: a lot of investors are saying a lot of the
Speaker 8: pros are saying there's to be a lot of volatility
Speaker 8: coming ahead, and you really have to hold onto your
Speaker 8: hats with that one thing that I would always advise,
Speaker 8: and especially in a time like this, like what we
Speaker 8: saw in the financial crisis and what we saw in
Speaker 8: the pandemic, now is the time to talk to your
Speaker 8: financial advisor, look at what your goals are coming up
Speaker 8: for the future, and then do an assessment. Because you
Speaker 8: can hear all these people rattling on all day on
Speaker 8: financial stations or giving their opinions in different news broadcasts,
Speaker 8: but your investments are personal to you, and that's why
Speaker 8: you need to be able to talk to your financial
Speaker 8: advisor to make sure that your goals are in line
Speaker 8: with what you have in your portfolio in your four
Speaker 8: to one k right now. So that is super important
Speaker 8: to think about. Okay, don't go with the crowd. Don't
Speaker 8: go with the crowd.
Speaker 4: Okay, make personal decisions. That's always good advice.
Speaker 1: Small business owners are reacting to the tariffs.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so, I mean, marks have wiped out trillions of
Speaker 8: dollars in market and market value, But there are millions
Speaker 8: of small businesses that sell through Amazon, Walmart, Facebook, and
Speaker 8: they don't have the market power. They don't have the
Speaker 8: profit margins to absorb all of these shocks when it
Speaker 8: comes to tariffs. So a lot of these small businesses,
Speaker 8: actually they provide about sixty percent of all products sold
Speaker 8: on Amazon, and it takes years to shift production to
Speaker 8: other factories. So that's why we're seeing more business owners
Speaker 8: starting to raise prices. And for consumers, you have to
Speaker 8: think about this. The average household is going to lose
Speaker 8: an estimated thirty eight hundred dollars in purchasing power as
Speaker 8: a result of the tariffs announced this year. That's coming
Speaker 8: from the budget lavint Yale.
Speaker 1: Okay, And like you mentioned, these are the small businesses,
Speaker 1: because I also was just watching the news shows yesterday
Speaker 1: and heard Kia, which is obviously a huge company, is saying,
Speaker 1: you know what, or maybe it was Honday, it was here,
Speaker 1: maybe it was Honday. They said, you know what, we
Speaker 1: think we can hold off on passing these prices along
Speaker 1: for about two months. But the small businesses don't have
Speaker 1: that luxury.
Speaker 8: No, and Ford and jeep maker Stilantis, they also they
Speaker 8: make chrystlers too. They're coming out and saying we're going
Speaker 8: to give discounts coming up. We're going to give the
Speaker 8: same discount as we give our employees. But again, they're
Speaker 8: big companies. They can handle something like that. But some
Speaker 8: small business owner who has a product developed in a
Speaker 8: foreign country, that's going to be really hard on them,
Speaker 8: and they have to figure out a way to be
Speaker 8: able to make it make a living pretty much.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we will be watching them, and we
Speaker 1: will talk to you and find out what happens in
Speaker 1: the stock market today. When we talk to you first
Speaker 1: thing tomorrow morning, it's Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe in your business.
Speaker 8: Thanks Cortney, and definitely hang in there, everybody, Okay.
Speaker 1: At least nine people have been hurt when a mini
Speaker 1: van drove into a crowd in downtown LA. The LAPD
Speaker 1: says all nine were in fair condition after the crash.
Speaker 1: Three of them were under eighteen. The crash happen and
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon near Santy Alley in the Fashion District. Please
Speaker 1: still investigating what led to the accident. It's the get
Speaker 1: everyone's been trying to get. Fox Premieres TMZ presents the
Speaker 1: Menendez Brothers The Prison Interview tonight. TMZ says the show
Speaker 1: will include conversations with Lyle and Eric Menendez from prison,
Speaker 1: as well as family members, their lawyer, and the detective
Speaker 1: who cracked the case. Tennis legend and now part owner
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers, Billy Jean King, will add another first
Speaker 1: to her list of accomplishments today when she becomes the
Speaker 1: first woman to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk
Speaker 1: of Fame in the Sports Entertainment category. Fellow Dodgers owner
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson will be on hand at the ceremony on
Speaker 1: Hollywood Boulevard. We're just minutes away from Handle. On the
Speaker 1: news this morning, Bill Handle returns Thousands turned out in
Speaker 1: LA to protest the president's policies. I'm sure that Bill's
Speaker 1: going to have a thing or two to say about that.
Speaker 1: Right now, let's say good morning to good morning.
Speaker 2: Hey, Hey, good morning guys.
Speaker 4: Good morning.
Speaker 1: Okay, So Swegerman, you and your dog Swagy have more
Speaker 1: than three million followers on ig on Instagram, So undoubtedly
Speaker 1: a lot of people already know about Swaggy. But tell
Speaker 1: us about you and Swaggy and what you guys have
Speaker 1: been doing all around southern California.
Speaker 2: You know, so right now, like we're just like our
Speaker 2: journey just basically started. You know, we've been doing the
Speaker 2: Internet for over ten years, but these last three months
Speaker 2: we found a passion where basically we're just trying to
Speaker 2: unite people to love each other, spread positivity, you know,
Speaker 2: because we're now we're living in a world where people
Speaker 2: are not happy, people are sad, people are going through stuff,
Speaker 2: people are trying to fight, argue, and you know, me,
Speaker 2: I'm not like too much involved in politics, but like
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to make everyone love each other and
Speaker 2: you know, spread positivity and just like make people smile, laugh,
Speaker 2: And that's what we've been doing these last three months.
Speaker 2: And okay, so like these last three weeks has been
Speaker 2: going to like insane, I don't know, okay.
Speaker 1: But tell us for people who are not familiar with
Speaker 1: you on Instagram what you and Swaggy specifically are doing.
Speaker 2: So basically we are the I'm pretty sure you guys
Speaker 2: probably send it on the internet with the guy that
Speaker 2: drives in the little toy car for seven year olds
Speaker 2: and is a husky and a guy with a mask
Speaker 2: with a flag, a Mexican flag, an American flag, Canadian flag.
Speaker 2: So we fly different types of flags and we just
Speaker 2: go to different places around the United States. And right
Speaker 2: now we've been doing California and he's just been going
Speaker 2: to different cities. Okay, go in love and making people smile.
Speaker 1: And you do make people smile if you watch the videos,
Speaker 1: I mean, people get you know, they get a kick
Speaker 1: out of seeing a little Swaggy and you driving around
Speaker 1: in the little cyber truck.
Speaker 4: It's adorable.
Speaker 1: But you had kind of a rough time on opening
Speaker 1: day at Dodger Stadium when you did that happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know sometimes you know, like you know, you
Speaker 2: could be very positive, you could like wake up every
Speaker 2: day like Okay, I'm gonna be happy. But some days,
Speaker 2: you know, there's times that it could be good days,
Speaker 2: bad days, and you know, fortunately that day was not
Speaker 2: the day. And you know, we're just going there to
Speaker 2: make everyone happy, made people smile. You know, we grew
Speaker 2: up here in Los Angeles and you know we're a
Speaker 2: big fan of the Dodgers, and you know, one of
Speaker 2: my dreams was to be to do first pitch for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, but unfortunately we got banned at the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Say what did you do, Swagerman that you man that
Speaker 1: you got banned?
Speaker 2: So basic. So basically we just took a little toy
Speaker 2: car made for kids. Children like any seven year old
Speaker 2: could drive it. It drives five miles power. And once
Speaker 2: we arrived in the scene on the parking lot, we
Speaker 2: got basically followed chase. It was like a little mini
Speaker 2: police chase. I guess and you know, yes, and they
Speaker 2: basically stopped us, and you know, like, I feel like
Speaker 2: it was kind of like very unfair because they said
Speaker 2: that I was kicked out before, but I've never been there,
Speaker 2: and I actually just got some information from other people
Speaker 2: telling me that there's another person that's driving in a
Speaker 2: little seven year old car as well with a dog.
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're saying, why did they say that they
Speaker 1: removed you from the parking lot at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2: But they basically they basically said, uh, from from our
Speaker 2: footage is that the security guard, the main person in
Speaker 2: charge of the property, he said that the reason why
Speaker 2: they decide to ban me from the Dodger Stadium is
Speaker 2: because I was not complying with the officer, and the
Speaker 2: officer was asking for my driver license and I was
Speaker 2: telling them that why do you want my driver license?
Speaker 2: And why am I being detained? I'm not doing anything wrong.
Speaker 2: If you have a reason for then I will give
Speaker 2: you my driver license. But unfortunately he just kept asking
Speaker 2: for my driver license. And all the fans were there
Speaker 2: and they were actually agreeing with me because they were saying, hey,
Speaker 2: is he free to go or is he being detained?
Speaker 2: And the officer just kept like trying to like ask
Speaker 2: for my driver license and I know my law.
Speaker 1: They didn't arrest you, they but they told you you
Speaker 1: had to leave, and so we.
Speaker 4: Saw the video.
Speaker 2: Actually, I actually I actually tried to leave and I
Speaker 2: told the officer, hey, officer, actually, like, can I just
Speaker 2: go to my car because our car was down the street.
Speaker 2: And I told her, hey, can we just leave? It's fine,
Speaker 2: I'll just leave, It's all good. But unfortunately they weren't
Speaker 2: letting me leave and they were just giving me a
Speaker 2: hard time. And they were telling me, hey, you know,
Speaker 2: I could impound your car because this is an unregistered car,
Speaker 2: so technically I could impound your car. And I was like,
Speaker 2: why would you guys impound this car. It's a seven
Speaker 2: year old car. Are you going to go to a
Speaker 2: seven year old and impound their car too?
Speaker 1: Okay, So Swigerman, let's let's just get real for one second.
Speaker 4: If the reality is it's adorable.
Speaker 1: You're driving around in the little cyber truck with your dog,
Speaker 1: who is a beautiful, beautiful dog. Is there concern though
Speaker 1: that you know that that could be dangerous because I
Speaker 1: drive around in Dodger in the Dodgers parking lot with
Speaker 1: my car and it's it's a sketchy parking lot.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, people coming and.
Speaker 1: Going and everything's not marked really great, Like, aren't you
Speaker 1: concerned maybe or maybe they're concerned that you could get
Speaker 1: hurt by a car that doesn't see you because you
Speaker 1: were in a little tiny car.
Speaker 2: So you know, like you know, you know, so you know,
Speaker 2: before we go to these places, you know, we always
Speaker 2: study and look at the places where we go to,
Speaker 2: and you know, nfortunately, we went in a time where
Speaker 2: there was a lot of pagestrians just walking and you know,
Speaker 2: usually where I was at was it was not as
Speaker 2: crazy as people think it was. I mean, it wasn't
Speaker 2: crazy at all. It was just pagestians just walking. And
Speaker 2: you know, I'm driving in a little car with two
Speaker 2: big flags, a Dodger's flag and a Mexican flag, and
Speaker 2: it's like twelve feet so you know, anyone could see
Speaker 2: a flag from far away. Because it stands out. But
Speaker 2: I would never put my dog in danger. I would
Speaker 2: never do that because I take her my dog and
Speaker 2: I love my dog.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Swegerman, is have you reached out to the Dodgers?
Speaker 1: Is there any chance you can get your lifelong band
Speaker 1: lifted or is that.
Speaker 2: Just still to be honest, like it just like you know,
Speaker 2: the video it went super viral on TikTok. You know,
Speaker 2: we have like almost seven eight million followers on TikTok,
Speaker 2: I believe, and you know, the video went viral, probably
Speaker 2: got like maybe over thirty million views. But unfortunately, like
Speaker 2: you know, we have not gotten no response from the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: You know, people have been saying, hey, we can help
Speaker 2: you get on bend, but you know, I just like
Speaker 2: I actually want to be able to attend the Dodgers
Speaker 2: stadium because, like you know, it doesn't feel the same
Speaker 2: watching the Dodgers in TV or at a somewhere, you know,
Speaker 2: it kind of hurts. And they didn't even give me
Speaker 2: a tamline. They just told me, hey, if you ever
Speaker 2: come back here, you will be arrested. And he told
Speaker 2: all the security guards that if I come back, I'll
Speaker 2: be arrested and I guess you know, it's just like
Speaker 2: the final days. But you know, you know, I'm in
Speaker 2: that stage in life where hey, if I'm not wanted,
Speaker 2: it is what it is. It's part of life. Not
Speaker 2: everywhere you go people are not going to want you there.
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm still going to be a Dodgers
Speaker 2: fan and I'm still going to support them, and I
Speaker 2: do not want anything bad like the Billy to goat
Speaker 2: what happened. I'm not sure you know the story about
Speaker 2: the Billy to goat? No, how about that story?
Speaker 4: No, I don't.
Speaker 1: But but just to stay on the Dodger story. Who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe there will be a meeting in the minds
Speaker 1: and they can get that lifted or something.
Speaker 2: But and you can you actually get me on ban
Speaker 2: from the Dodger.
Speaker 1: Stadeck and I I'll ask my people.
Speaker 4: We'll see what we can do.
Speaker 1: Swaggerman, thank you so much for coming on and explaining
Speaker 1: your side of the story. And please give that Swaggy
Speaker 1: a big hug because that is one beautiful dog. And
Speaker 1: be safe out there. What's your ig and TikTok? So
Speaker 1: people can follow you if they want.
Speaker 2: You guys could just start s w a g R

Speaker 2: Wolf Dog on Google. You'll find them. I want to
Speaker 2: say thank you so much and it's very awesome talking
