Speaker 1: what some people are doing to keep their teslas safe
Speaker 1: as more people are being targeted over Elon Musk's involvement
Speaker 1: with DOGE. ABC's Jim Ryan's going to tell us about
Speaker 1: that in just a couple of minutes. Tariffs seem to
Speaker 1: be changing well almost daily. Kfi's White House correspondent John

Speaker 1: Smokey Robinson's coming to the Serrito Center for the Performing
Speaker 1: Arts this weekend on Friday. And guess what. We have
Speaker 1: a pair of dikets for you that's coming up all
Speaker 1: during wake up call. Hope you'll stick around for it.
Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom of the Menendez
Speaker 1: brothers is in the hospital in critical condition. Relatives are
Speaker 1: blaming La County DA Nathan Hawkman. Eighty five year old
Speaker 1: Terry Berlt's daughter, posted on social media over the weekend
Speaker 1: about her mom being found unresponsive.
Speaker 3: This is a hard video for me to make.
Speaker 4: I need to share with you that she was taken
Speaker 4: to the hospital by ambulance early this morning.
Speaker 1: The elder Baralt is the sister of Jose Menendez, who
Speaker 1: was murdered along with his wife back in nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 1: The family says Terry Berralt got sick after prosecutors showed
Speaker 1: graphic photos of the Menendez bodies without warning during a
Speaker 1: court hearing on Friday. The resentencing hearing for Eric and
Speaker 1: Lao Menendez is set for Thursday and Friday. A man's
Speaker 1: been killed in a shooting outside the Long Beach Grand
Speaker 1: Prix racecourse. This guy, who lives nearby says he heard
Speaker 1: the commotion late Sunday, Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 5: This place is really near the turn eight of the
Speaker 5: Grand Prix, so there's a lot of police and fire
Speaker 5: and everything already prepositioned in the area. So when I
Speaker 5: looked out, the police were starting to run around already,
Speaker 5: and again I wasn't quite sure what what had happened,
Speaker 5: but some of them had their guns drawn.
Speaker 1: The man killed had been shot multiple times. Police say
Speaker 1: they believe he had been in an argument with the shooter.
Speaker 1: And lines at dm V office is expected to start
Speaker 1: getting longer as people apply for real ID. ABC sphill
Speaker 1: lipeof says starting on May seventh, anyone flying out of

Speaker 6: only fifty six percent of driver's license were real IDs.
Speaker 1: Starting today, ten DMV offices in southern California are going
Speaker 1: to open an hour earlier every day of the week
Speaker 1: except Wednesday through June twenty seventh. Of course, you can
Speaker 1: still use a passport. Let's say, good morning now to
Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan, So Jim. Tesla remains embroiled in controversy
Speaker 1: because of Elon Musk's involvement with DOGE. Are people still
Speaker 1: buying them?
Speaker 3: Well, we are.
Speaker 7: In fact, Tesla is still the best selling electric vehicle
Speaker 7: in the United States, but it's dominance has fallen somewhat.
Speaker 7: I think the number is forty four percent of evs
Speaker 7: are Tesla's those sold in this country, but that's down
Speaker 7: by nearly ten percent from just a year ago. What
Speaker 7: has happened in the last year, Well, of course Elon
Speaker 7: Musk has become close friends with President Trump. He was
Speaker 7: named head of DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, which
Speaker 7: fired thousands and thousands of federal workers, and suddenly Tesla's
Speaker 7: although Tesla has nothing to do with it except that
Speaker 7: it's CEO is Elon Musk. Tesla's have been the target
Speaker 7: of protests, the target of vandalism, and the target of controversy,
Speaker 7: and now the resale value has drop dropped off a cliff.
Speaker 7: There's something like eighteen thousand vehicles listed on one sale
Speaker 7: site alone, and you can go online to Etsy and
Speaker 7: purchase stickers that express your either disdain or support for Elon.
Speaker 7: Musk on the same page on Etsy, where you can
Speaker 7: buy a bumper sticker that says I bought this before
Speaker 7: Elon went crazy, you can buy a sticker that says
Speaker 7: still driving Tesla, still team Elon. So yeah, the market
Speaker 7: is still very much active in terms of expressing yourself.
Speaker 1: I would be concerned about the if I was a
Speaker 1: Tesla owner putting a sticker saying still driving Tesla supporting Elon,
Speaker 1: because I think that just attracts the crazies.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm sure, I think you're right, and that's why
Speaker 7: a lot of Tesla drivers are going the opposite direction.
Speaker 7: They're taking the badges, the Tesla badges off their vehicles
Speaker 7: and leaving it look looking like a plane car or
Speaker 7: replacing the Tesla badge with other things. You can get
Speaker 7: the Audi rings, those linked rings, put those on your car,
Speaker 7: make it look like an Audi. Yeah yeah you can.
Speaker 7: Or or Toyota.
Speaker 8: You can.
Speaker 7: You can make it look like a Toyota by putting
Speaker 7: Toyota badges on it. You can purchase those online. There's
Speaker 7: no mistaking a cyber truck though, right, I did disguise
Speaker 7: and ad something else, and so that's where these stickers
Speaker 7: are coming in. I saw a cyber truck the other
Speaker 7: day with a sticker it said Elon Musk and then
Speaker 7: that the name was in a circle and it was
Speaker 7: crossed out, expressing that Tesla driver's disdain for Elon Musk
Speaker 7: while still driving a Tesla.
Speaker 1: You know, I a friend of mine was asking me,
Speaker 1: it was about a month ago, and she's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm going to do about this Tesla
Speaker 1: because she has one. And I was like, what do
Speaker 1: you mean, what are you going to do about your Tesla?
Speaker 1: And she goes, well, people, you know, people are upset
Speaker 1: about it. And I was like, you got to be crazy.
Speaker 1: So to see this unfold is more people become I
Speaker 1: rate and attack the owners of the tesla. Yeah, as
Speaker 1: opposed to just you know, voicing their concerns or dismay
Speaker 1: with the owner of tesla. It's just kind of crazy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the quandary that a lot of people find
Speaker 7: themselves in they're driving Tesla's and in many cases these
Speaker 7: people are are liberals who bought a Tesla because it's
Speaker 7: for the environment ostensibly, right, you don't have to put
Speaker 7: gas in it, and so it's a cleaner vehicle, and
Speaker 7: so that's why they bought it. And now suddenly fellow
Speaker 7: liberals are attacking their cars or vandalizing the vehicles or
Speaker 7: at least holding demonstrations against Tesla because of Elon Musk. So,
Speaker 7: I mean, it's a confusing time.
Speaker 1: For sure, attacking their own not so smart seriously anyway, Well, and.
Speaker 7: At the same time, beyond the protest demonstrations even vandalism, Yeah,
Speaker 7: you're finding that the resale value of Tesla's has absolutely plunged,
Speaker 7: and you're finding that they're flooding the market, the resale
Speaker 7: market with Tesla's because people are trying to get rid
Speaker 7: of them, presumably partly because of Elon Musk.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a public opinion is one thing, but dollars out there,
Speaker 7: that's a different matter.
Speaker 1: Okay, and Jim. Lawmakers are apparently getting involved. Are is
Speaker 1: it only Republicans or is it democratic? Lawmakers also looking
Speaker 1: to crack down on vandalism and destruction, well.
Speaker 3: A little of each.
Speaker 7: In New York State, specifically, a state senator there has
Speaker 7: introduced legislation which would add quote suppression or promotion of
Speaker 7: a political ideology for damaging private property would increase the
Speaker 7: penalty for doing that. So if you vandalize something just
Speaker 7: because you're being ornery, that's one thing. But if you
Speaker 7: vandalize it in the name of making a political statement,
Speaker 7: that would increase the penalty under this particular provision. But
Speaker 7: at the same time, in the same New York State Assembly,
Speaker 7: the other lawmakers are supporting a plan to divest state
Speaker 7: pension funds from Tesla, right, and blocking new Tesla dealerships
Speaker 7: from being set up in parts of New York. So
Speaker 7: you're seeing both sides playing out in the New York
Speaker 7: State Assembly. The supporters of Tesla and opponents of Tesla
Speaker 7: are making their views known.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm guessing that Elon Musk sits back every once
Speaker 1: in a while and thinks, Wow, I got a lot
Speaker 1: more than I bargained for with this good thing.
Speaker 7: He's super rich, right, he kind of maybe knew what
Speaker 7: he was getting into. He's been the face of Tesla's
Speaker 7: SpaceX and Twitter and now x ever since it all started,
Speaker 7: and so there could be one part of him saying
Speaker 7: I love this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well there's that all right, ABC's Jim Ryan, Thank
Speaker 1: you so much. Appreciate it by Amy. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get back to some of the stories coming out of

Speaker 1: schedule and ahead of summer. Let's say good morning now
Speaker 1: to kfi's White House correspondent John Decker. Good morning, John, Hey,
Speaker 1: good morning.
Speaker 6: How are you doing today?
Speaker 1: Amy doing good, trying to keep track of the ever
Speaker 1: changing tariff situation. And there's another new development. What is it?
Speaker 6: Well, the new new development happened on Friday, but there
Speaker 6: was more news that came out over the weekend. The
Speaker 6: new development being there exemptions applied for electronics coming out
Speaker 6: of China. That meant no tariffs on products like laptop
Speaker 6: computers and smartphones and flat screens. That sounds like good
Speaker 6: news for consumers wishing to purchase those products. Obviously good
Speaker 6: news for companies that are importing those products. But over
Speaker 6: the weekend we learned that these tariff exemptions, according to
Speaker 6: the President, are just temporary and that more tariffs will
Speaker 6: be forthcoming as it relates to the chips that power
Speaker 6: those products. Also, not every member of the administration, Amy
Speaker 6: is speaking from the same talking points. You have Scott Bessen,
Speaker 6: the Treasury Secretary saying one thing about tariffs, the Commerce Secretary,
Speaker 6: Howard Lutnik saying something else, and all of that just
Speaker 6: creates a lot of confuse, a lot of uncertainty for
Speaker 6: financial markets. And financial markets, as you know, Amy, they
Speaker 6: hate uncertainty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And in spite of that, the now futures and
Speaker 1: all the stock indexes, their futures are up right now.
Speaker 1: But I think it's interesting to watch. It's fascinating to
Speaker 1: watch because it reminds me of our old news director.
Speaker 1: And I always would say, I just do what Chris
Speaker 1: tells me to do the last thing he said, because
Speaker 1: it was always changing, you know, there was always little
Speaker 1: tweaks and changes. But with what Trump is doing, they're
Speaker 1: massive changes and they come quickly. So how do you
Speaker 1: keep up?
Speaker 6: Well, how do you keep up? That's a great question.
Speaker 6: And the President indicating there could be more teriffs ahead.
Speaker 6: We already know about the tariffs on farm built automobiles. Well,
Speaker 6: there could be tariffs according to the President as well
Speaker 6: on pharmaceuticals. The President would like to bring pharmaceutical manufacturing
Speaker 6: back to the States. So much of that happened outside
Speaker 6: the US, and so that's a long term goal of
Speaker 6: the President. But pharmaceuticals could be the next product that
Speaker 6: are the subject to tariffs announced by the administration. And
Speaker 6: as you know, we saw a trade war taking place
Speaker 6: in real time last week with China. Tariffs now on
Speaker 6: Chinese products with the exception of those electronics products one
Speaker 6: hundred and forty five percent. And there's a similar large
Speaker 6: tariff one hundred and twenty five percent on US goods
Speaker 6: that are exported to China. So we'll see if there's
Speaker 6: a tamping down of that trade war that happens during
Speaker 6: the course of this week.
Speaker 1: Okay, and I know you got to run. So one
Speaker 1: last question. Is there any movement any talks between the
Speaker 1: China and US or is it still just sort of
Speaker 1: radio silent there?
Speaker 6: No, there is not. The President says he's always open
Speaker 6: to speaking with President Shei of China, but there's no meeting,
Speaker 6: no call that is announced between the US and China
Speaker 6: anytime soon. Certainly nothing between the president, President Schaump and
Speaker 6: President she anytime soon.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll be watching it and paying attention because,
Speaker 1: like we just talked about, it changes sometimes by the minute.
Speaker 1: We appreciate your input. Thank you so much, Cafi White
Speaker 1: House correspondent John Decker. We'll talk to you soon. All right,

Speaker 1: You? OKAY i? Digress scott let's jump right. In we've
Speaker 1: been watching the stocks, obviously speaking of roller, coasters it's
Speaker 1: been a wild. Ride and after The president announced that
Speaker 1: pause on tariffs for computers and phones and, chips it
Speaker 1: looks like the stock market's reacting favorably to.
Speaker 3: That, yeah, well we're expecting some new sales data out this.
Speaker 3: Week This, wednesday we're going to get some new retail sales.
Speaker 3: Data and we expect now that they got a boost
Speaker 3: in the month Of march last month with an especially
Speaker 3: strong boost and auto sales and, largely do say many,
Speaker 3: analysts that's because the buyers were expecting these new tariffs
Speaker 3: and for prices to start to go.
Speaker 1: Higher, okay so just the threat of the tariffs sent
Speaker 1: people rushing to go buy big ticket, items which our
Speaker 1: money Guid Joel larsgaard, said don't. Do but it sounds
Speaker 1: like everybody did, it.
Speaker 3: Especially auto sales did very. Well, well we'll get the
Speaker 3: final word On.
Speaker 1: Wednesday, okay we'll be watching for. That a test of
Speaker 1: The trump administration's ability to challenge big. Tech there's an
Speaker 1: anti trust lawsuit against meta platforms that gets underweight. Today
Speaker 1: what's that.
Speaker 3: Very closely watched case, here of, course the tech giant
Speaker 3: still Was facebook when The Trump White house first filed
Speaker 3: this lawsuit back in twenty, twenty During trump's first. Term
Speaker 3: The Federal Trade commission alleges in the Lawsuit metas maintained a,
Speaker 3: monopoly and that lawsuit could end up Forcing meta to
Speaker 3: sell Off instagram And.
Speaker 1: WhatsApp WHAT i wonder what the likelihood of that? Is
Speaker 1: some smart, sucker we'll see.
Speaker 3: That, YEAH a lot of people want to know what
Speaker 3: this is going to shake, out because it'll impact a
Speaker 3: lot of other tech companies most.
Speaker 1: Likely kind of interesting, too because Now Mark zuckerberg And
Speaker 1: trump are kind of buddy. Buddy they're, like, Oh i'm
Speaker 1: still sing.
Speaker 3: You are they really buddy? Buddy, WELL i guess, said, well.
Speaker 1: On the surface they are. Anyway, yeah, Yeah, okay looks
Speaker 1: Like intel is close to selling off its stake in programmable. Chips.
Speaker 3: Yeah this is a big move For, intel the chip.
Speaker 3: Maker they're going to sell out their programmable chips Unit
Speaker 3: altera to a private equity, Firm Silver Lake. Management intel
Speaker 3: has been struggling, lately so they've been spinning off some
Speaker 3: of their businesses and. Assets intel Bought eltera back in
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen for about oh a cool seventeen billion. Dollars.
Speaker 1: Yikes, Okay So, scott when something like that, Happens intel's
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit and they decide to. Sell is
Speaker 1: does that generally bode well for their stocks or does
Speaker 1: it make them go? Down or what does it traditionally?
Speaker 3: Do it would depend on the company and the kind
Speaker 3: of business that you're. In so and the timing is.
Speaker 3: Everything SO i suppose this news probably is helping, Them
Speaker 3: BUT i haven't checked The intel. Stock i'll get to
Speaker 3: get that to. Tomorrow we could check into, it.
Speaker 1: Okay and AS i, mentioned the markets looking decent as
Speaker 1: we start the work week In.

Speaker 1: DMVs are opening early starting today in Southern. California bill's
Speaker 1: going to tell you. Why right, now let's say good
Speaker 1: morning to the head of The Dead Sea Scrolls unit
Speaker 1: at The israel And tick with. Authority it's Doctor Joel.
Speaker 1: Uziel good, morning, doctor.
Speaker 8: Good, morning good. Morning thank you so.
Speaker 1: Much for calling. Us we understand you're calling us From
Speaker 1: israel this.
Speaker 8: Morning, yeah that's, right it's not morning for. Me it's late. Afternoon.
Speaker 1: Perfect, well it sounds like you're right next. Door so
Speaker 1: The Dead sea scroll exhibit is happening now at The
Speaker 1: Reagan Presidential. LIBRARY i got to go and check it.
Speaker 1: Out was really. Interesting so if you haven't, been now
Speaker 1: is the time to. Go if you've already, been you
Speaker 1: might want to go again because the scrolls of The
Speaker 1: Ten commandments are now on. Display tell us about The
Speaker 1: Dead Sea, scrolls The Ten commandments and why we get
Speaker 1: to see.
Speaker 8: Them that's exactly. Right now is the time to, go
Speaker 8: even if you've been there, Already because The Dead Sea
Speaker 8: Squirrells exhibition is at The reagan for nine. Months every
Speaker 8: three months we switch out the scrolls with a new
Speaker 8: set of scrolls that we bring over because The Dead Sea,
Speaker 8: scrolls which are a unique set of documents that date
Speaker 8: back two thousand years to the period Of Second temple,
Speaker 8: Period judaism and the period of the rise of Early,
Speaker 8: christianity and they were preserved in the dry desert. Climate
Speaker 8: but in order to conserve, them we only display them
Speaker 8: for three months and then they come back To israel
Speaker 8: to our storerooms and rest for five. Years, however this
Speaker 8: week we put a special scroll on display and it's
Speaker 8: only going to be there for two, weeks and that's
Speaker 8: The Ten Commandment. Scroll, Now i'll just say The Dead
Speaker 8: Sea scrolls on the whole include the earliest copies of
Speaker 8: The Hebrew, bible The Old, testament that have been found to,
Speaker 8: date and they date back some two thousand. Years The
Speaker 8: Ten Commandment scroll is the earliest copy of The Ten
Speaker 8: commandments that we, have which in includes all the. Commandments
Speaker 8: and what's interesting is that The Hebrew bible actually presents
Speaker 8: the tent demandments, twice one time in the book of
Speaker 8: That exodus and one time in The Bookoon's. Deuteronomy and
Speaker 8: this version of the Tense amendments actually is a sort
Speaker 8: of combination of the, two bringing some aspects from each
Speaker 8: because they're not exactly the. Same And i'll just give one.
Speaker 8: Example for, example the commandment to keep The. Sabbath different
Speaker 8: reasons for keeping The sabbath are given into two different
Speaker 8: versions In exodus And. Deuteronomy, yeah so one says that
Speaker 8: the reason for keeping The sabbath is Because god created
Speaker 8: the world in six days and on the seventh day he.
Speaker 8: Rested and the other reason is for the exodus for
Speaker 8: The jews Leaving egypt after their slavery. There and this
Speaker 8: version actually brings both reasons for keeping The. Sabbaths and
Speaker 8: so it's a very unique, document and scholars believe it
Speaker 8: was probably used to read The Ten commandments in a
Speaker 8: public let's say display or reading in front of the.
Speaker 1: Community, wow That i'd never heard that there was that
Speaker 1: there was two like that tell us because you're, speaking
Speaker 1: you're talking about a two thousand year old. DOCUMENT i,
Speaker 1: mean when we go To, WASHINGTON. Dc you can see
Speaker 1: the you can see The. Constitution it's only a couple
Speaker 1: hundred years, old and it's very faded and very. Fragile
Speaker 1: SO i, mean how are these even?
Speaker 8: Together, well the amazing thing is that the very very
Speaker 8: dry climate of The judean desert actually helped preserve the
Speaker 8: documents that are written on, leather and so they survived
Speaker 8: two thousand years in the, desert and in their initial
Speaker 8: discovery they actually learned true did it correctly because the
Speaker 8: knowledge for conservation wasn't, there and so some damage was
Speaker 8: caused in the early years of their. Discovery but over
Speaker 8: the past thirty five, years The Israel Antiquities authority has
Speaker 8: been using the strictest methods of, conservation which include keeping
Speaker 8: them at very strict temperatures and humidity and also limiting
Speaker 8: their exposure to. Light and in this way they're actually quite,
Speaker 8: visible and so you can actually see the actual document
Speaker 8: and if you Read, hebrew you can actually read, it
Speaker 8: which is amazing because it's the same script that is
Speaker 8: still being used to this day in Modern. Israel and
Speaker 8: if you have some difficulty seeing, it we actually we
Speaker 8: actually have the display next to the actual scroll has
Speaker 8: an infrared image of, it which uses infrared photographics technology
Speaker 8: to make the text much much. Clearer that is so.
Speaker 1: Cool AND i did go to The Reagan, library and
Speaker 1: LIKE i, said we talked about it on our out
Speaker 1: and about, segment if you'll, remember and it was interesting
Speaker 1: that everything is very very low. Light AND i remember
Speaker 1: that from when we went To, washington D. C, Too
Speaker 1: like they had the First american flag and it's displayed
Speaker 1: in very low lights because the light really denigrates the
Speaker 1: quality of the.
Speaker 8: Document, yes that's exactly. It in order to make sure
Speaker 8: we don't let the documents. Fade the lighting is very very,
Speaker 8: low but it's still enough that everything is very clear and,
Speaker 8: visible and so you can really see everything. Firsthand and
Speaker 8: again this is a unique opportunity because the scroll will
Speaker 8: be there just for two weeks and then it's coming
Speaker 8: back home and it won't be back in THE us
Speaker 8: for a very long.
Speaker 1: Time all, Right Doctor Joe, uzield head of The Dead
Speaker 1: Sea Scrolls unit at The Israel Antiquities, authority thank you
Speaker 1: so much for the. Information this is just just. Fascinating
Speaker 1: so it's going to be the next two weeks and
Speaker 1: it's at The Reagan, library and you can go To
Speaker 1: reaganlibrary dot com and get your tickets BECAUSE i would
Speaker 1: imagine it's going to be. Crowded thank, you Doctor, Joe.
Speaker 8: Thank, You thank you so. Much take.
Speaker 1: Care oh that was a little familiar of me to
Speaker 1: call him Doctor, joe AND i think that's. Okay we
Speaker 1: got to know.
Speaker 10: Him.
Speaker 1: Amazing, yeah that is so. Cool if you haven't been
Speaker 1: seriously again the next two weeks and then The swirls
Speaker 1: are going to be there for the next few, months

Speaker 1: probably once in a. Lifetime. Yeah tens of thousands of
