Hope you had a great weekend too. 28 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.560 Let's get started. We got a lot going on. Here's 29 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.519 what's ahead. On wake up Call, La Metro begins screening 30 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:24.519 passengers for concealed weapons at the Green Lines Norwalk station. 31 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.920 Officials will be assessing the technology for the next year 32 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.200 across key stations to see if it can be an 33 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.519 effective tool. It's the latest move by the agency to 34 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:40.920 address rising violence on Metro buses and trains. Such sections 35 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.640 of PCH that had been closed on Saturday reopened. The 36 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.480 roadway was shut down because of mudslides, leaving residents and 37 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:49.599 pass holders no way to get into the fire zone 38 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.840 area between Topanga Canyon Boulevard and Carbon Beach Terrace. A 39 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.439 new national poll shows a lot of Americans not happy 40 00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.200 with President Trump's first one hundred days in office. The 41 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.560 Pole Show's fifty five percent of Americans disapprove of how 42 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.280 Trump has handled the presidency. We're gonna dig into those 43 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.920 numbers more with ABC's Stephen Portnoy. 44 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:09.759 That's coming up at the bottom of the hour. 45 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.800 Another weekend, another car rams into a festival. This one 46 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.199 leaves at least eleven people dead in Canada. ABC's Jim 47 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.080 Ryan's going to join us at five point twenty. We're 48 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.800 gonna see if there's anything that can be done to 49 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.960 stop these kinds of attacks. And if you're looking for 50 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.479 hope and inspiration and true love, I might have. 51 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:29.840 The perfect movie for you. 52 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.319 We're going to talk with the producer and director of 53 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:38.400 Abby's List, a documentary, yes, not documentary, a dogumentary. It's 54 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:40.800 in theaters this weekend. We're gonna find out all about it. 55 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.879 That's coming up at about five point fifty. Let's get 56 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:45.400 started with some of the stories coming out of the 57 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.280 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Thousands of La County workers 58 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.280 are planning to walk off the job tonight, and. 59 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.199 The strike could potentially disrupt key services. SEIU Local seven 60 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.879 twenty one, representing fifty five thousand frontline employees, says the 61 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:03.479 walkout is over on labor practices, wage stagnation, and excessive outsourcing. 62 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.840 County officials warn't possible delays in healthcare, social services, and 63 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.080 public works through Wednesday evening. Union leaders accused the county 64 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.439 of spending billions on contractors while ignoring worker pay and 65 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.319 staffing shortages. Heatherbrooker KFI news. 66 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.560 La County Supervisor Catherine Barger is set to visit a 67 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.960 property in Alta, Dina where crews are about to start 68 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.199 rebuilding a home destroyed by the Eton fire. The woman 69 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:30.120 who owns the home, Margot Stuber, had debris cleared Firmer 70 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.639 property by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Governor Newsom 71 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.599 says wildfire resources in California are safe, even though the 72 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.800 states facing major financial issues. He says California has nearly 73 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.120 doubled its investments in CalFire over the past few years 74 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:46.000 in state of. 75 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.360 The art technologies it relates to access the tools that 76 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:54.159 the Pentagon provides the tools that private contractors like Lockeed provide. 77 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.639 Still, Newsom says there is a tough road ahead with 78 00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:01.639 lower revenue, higher unemployment, and rising costs. Santa Monica could 79 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.319 soon be letting people sip a drink while strolling down 80 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:06.560 the Third Street promenade. 81 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.639 Pantamonica City leaders have approved plans for an entertainment zone 82 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.080 where public drinking would be allowed every day from eight 83 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.000 am to two am between Wilshore and Arizona. Drinkers would 84 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.120 need to wear wristbands, be twenty one or older, and 85 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.800 use plastic cups. Some residents and leaders raise security concerns, 86 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.680 but supporters say it's a smart way to bring visitors back. 87 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.920 A final vote is expected in May, with a possible 88 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.959 rollout in June. Brigida, Degastino, Okay. 89 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.639 If I news California's my Shake app has been downloaded 90 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.000 more than four million times. Governor Newsom says the app 91 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.839 gives people life saving seconds before an earthquake hits. His 92 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.000 office says since its inception, the app has sent out 93 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.040 more than five million alerts for nearly one hundred and 94 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.079 seventy quakes. The state's encouraging people to use the free 95 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.360 app and to follow the cal Oes Earthquake Readiness Guide 96 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.240 and up for that last one. Yeah, that hit down 97 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.519 in San Diego County. We got the pre worn for 98 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:57.639 the shaking eighty seconds. 99 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.600 Yeah, Yeah, it was good. It was good. It's five 100 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:02.680 seven on your Monday morning wake up call. 101 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.680 Time to say good morning to kfi's White House correspondent 102 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:13.319 John Decker. Morning, John, Are peace talks continuing with Russia 103 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.839 and the US and Ukraine? 104 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:17.759 Because President Trump's getting a little fed up. 105 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.000 He is, He's getting frustrated, and with good reason, and 106 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.959 the reason being is because two months ago the US 107 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.279 put a peace proposal on the table. It was a 108 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:32.000 thirty day ceasefire peace proposal. It was accepted immediately by Ukraine. 109 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.000 It has not been accepted by Russia. Now Russia said 110 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.600 that today, just within the past few hours, that it 111 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:41.560 will have a three day unilateralist ceasefire as it relates 112 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.439 to the war in Ukraine. But that's not what the 113 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:45.879 President's proposal calls for. And I think that's the reason 114 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.720 why the President has threatened more sanctions on Russia and 115 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.399 has said maybe that Putin is stringing him along in 116 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.199 terms of what it is that he's saying publicly and 117 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.959 what we see that he's doing attacking civilian areas in Ukraine. 118 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.600 Okay, And so you mentioned that two months ago we 119 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:08.160 had put up this or the administration had put up 120 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.399 that thirty day seas fire. Has any progress and that 121 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.600 been made, I know you just mentioned that. I think 122 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.079 May sixth, seventh and eighth is when they said that 123 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.959 they're going to do a ceasefire. But did they say 124 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:23.199 is that a precursor to accepting a longer cease fire? 125 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.639 Is that because conclave starts on May seventh, I mean, 126 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:27.319 did they say. 127 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.519 Why, No, they didn't haven't said why. I think they 128 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.160 recognized the frustration that the President has indicated over the 129 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.560 course of the past few weeks. Also, the President has 130 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:42.800 threatened to impose what's called secondary sanctions on Russia, maybe 131 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:47.399 going and targeting its oil sector. That oil really funds 132 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.360 everything as it relates to the war. So that would 133 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.720 be a very skiff sanction that the US and its 134 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.399 allies could impose upon Russia. 135 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.680 And kind of interesting because it so far, I mean, 136 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.160 from just you know, looking at bird's eye view, it 137 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:05.959 seems like Trump has actually been siding more with Russia, 138 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.480 you know, like saying, you know, Russia is going to 139 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.879 get a lot of what it wanted, Ukraine is not 140 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.040 going to get a lot of what it wanted, So 141 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.240 that that putin seems to be sort of hedging his 142 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:20.600 bets or not making any moves, seems a little surprising. 143 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.519 Yeah, you raised a really good point, Amy, and you know, 144 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.240 I think that's one of the reasons that you haven't 145 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.680 seen any movement by Russia. Russia sees that, you know, 146 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.519 as it relates to public statements made by President Trump, 147 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.160 it seems as if he's agreeing to some of the 148 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.319 things that Russia has been putting out there, and from 149 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.879 the Russian perspective, they probably feel, what's the purpose in 150 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.519 offering up any concessions if we don't have to if 151 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.199 the president buys into the point of view that we're 152 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.879 publicly presenting out there. So you look, you know, I 153 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.720 think the President is facing a lot of pressure. He's 154 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.759 facing pressure from European alliing that with the Prime Minister 155 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.920 of Norway. Just last he met with European leaders while 156 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.600 he was in Italy for the funeral of Pope Francis, 157 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.959 and they were putting a full court press on the 158 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:08.879 president as well. 159 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:10.120 So we'll see. 160 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.120 I think this is an important week, and the President 161 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.839 last week said I'll give Russia a week's time to 162 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.959 come to some sort of movement getting to peace, and 163 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.040 we'll see if this is that critical week that the 164 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:22.600 President has been pushing for. 165 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:27.079 John does Trump actually have any power in this? Does 166 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:28.319 he have any leverage? 167 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.200 That's a good question, you know, I think he has 168 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:36.440 less leverage on this situation than he does concerning you know, 169 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.039 the war in the Middle East. That being said, you know, 170 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.919 the President also has spoken about the strong relationship that 171 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.799 he has with Russian President Vladimir Putin, So perhaps you 172 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.799 know he can use that strong relationship to convince Putin 173 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.039 to at the very least agree to this thirty day 174 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.120 ceasefire proposal that Ukraine's already agreed to, and then work 175 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.639 towards a permanent peace once that thirty day ceasefire is 176 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:02.320 put in place. 177 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:02.879 Okay. 178 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.519 You mentioned that he met with some leaders when he 179 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:11.120 was overseas for the Pope's funeral. Did he meet with 180 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.320 Selensky on Saturday? 181 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.399 He did an iconic photograph. 182 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:16.240 You could google it. 183 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.759 You can see a one on one meeting in the 184 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:23.240 Vatican with President Zelensky and also meeting with leaders like 185 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:27.679 here Starmer, the uk Prime Minister, French President Emmanuel Macron, 186 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.240 and they huddled together, and that they've been putting a 187 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.240 lot of pressure the president. Also last Thursday here at 188 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.000 the White House meeting with the Secretary General of the 189 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:41.320 United Nation of NATO Mark Ruda. All of those individuals 190 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.240 putting a lot of pressure on the President to put 191 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.360 the pressure on Russia. So you can get to the 192 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.159 point where you're moving towards peace. 193 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:49.639 Okay, and we'll see what happens next. 194 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.159 Kfi's White House correspondent John Decker, Thanks so much for 195 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:53.480 the insight and information. 196 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.679 As always, Thanks Amy Bright, talk to you soon. 197 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.600 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 198 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.240 of the KFI twenty four hour news. Murder chargers have 199 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.679 been filed in Vancouver, Canada against a man who allegedly 200 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.200 drove into a crowd at a Filipino heritage festival. 201 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.039 There are now eleven confirmed fatalities. 202 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.399 Interim police Chief Steve Ray says dozens more people were 203 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:15.480 hurt on Saturday night. 204 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.120 This woman says the crash was shocking. 205 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.159 We had initially assumed that it was like a food 206 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.399 truck that had fallen over. That's how loud it was, 207 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:24.559 and then we heard screams. 208 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.000 Following investigators say they have ruled out terrorism. They say 209 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.120 the man driving has a history of mental health issues. 210 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.679 The retrial of Karen Reid continues this week in Boston. 211 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.000 Legal analyst Brian Buckmeyer says the former economics professors accused 212 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.759 of killing her boyfriend in twenty twenty two by backing 213 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.600 her SUV into him and leaving him to die in 214 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:45.320 a snowstorm. 215 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.279 We're all expecting for a former officer now, Michael Proctor. 216 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.759 He was the lead investigator in the case to testify, 217 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.440 as well as an officer he worked with. 218 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.080 He says the defense is arguing the trial is a 219 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:58.840 conspiracy and all of the officers are involved. The US 220 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.120 and Iran are set to hold an round of nuclear 221 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.559 talks following a weekend meeting in Jordan. The White House 222 00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:08.480 says those talks were positive and productive. President Trump's Special 223 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.759 Envoy Steve Whitcoff and Iran's foreign minister led the two delegations, 224 00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:15.679 with the discussions lasting about four hours. The next meeting 225 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.360 is schedule to take place May third. 226 00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:18.840 More than one hundred. 227 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.799 People have been arrested at an illegal nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 228 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:27.200 The DEA says illegal immigrants and active duty service members 229 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.159 were detained. Many of the illegal immigrants were turned over 230 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.799 to ICE. The Army Criminal Investigation Divisions looking into the 231 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.000 involvement of about a dozen US service members who again 232 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:40.399 were taken into custody. A legal analyst says the Supreme 233 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:44.120 Court decision giving presidents immunity could be argued for A 234 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:49.159 judge in Milwaukee arrested by the FBI. Judge Hannah Dugan 235 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.440 is accused of allowing an illegal immigrant from Mexico to 236 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.720 leave through a back door of her court, so ICE 237 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.480 agents couldn't arrest him. Editor of Scotis Blog and former 238 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.279 Justice Department spokesperson Sarah Iger says the judge could put 239 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.440 that new judicial ruling to the test. 240 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.919 No court has found that judges are immune from criminal prosecution, 241 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.279 but that Trump immunity decision could be very relevant here. 242 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.559 Judge Dugan could face up to six years in prison 243 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.360 for her actions. A new poll shows President Trump has 244 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.080 the lowest one hundred day job approval rating of any 245 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:26.039 president in the past eighty years. The ABC News Washington 246 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.200 Post IPSOS poll shows just thirty nine percent of Americans 247 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.919 say the approve of what he's done so far. Gary 248 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:36.639 Langer with Langer Research Association Associates, who produced the polls 249 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:38.960 as fifty five percent of people disapprove. 250 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.120 It beats the record low at one hundred days set 251 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.399 by Donald Trump in twenty seventeen. 252 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.679 He gets criticism on many issues, but perhaps his prime 253 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.559 challenge is economic discontent. 254 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.279 Tomorrow is Trump's one hundredth day in office. The Vatican 255 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:55.679 has announced the conclave to elect a successor to Pope 256 00:12:55.679 --> 00:13:01.600 Francis will begin Wednesday, March not March May close. Friend 257 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.360 of Pope Francis father James Martin says there are nine 258 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.840 days of morning before the gathering, but there are some 259 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:11.879 preliminary talks before the official conclave happens inside the Sistine Chapel. 260 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.000 They are starting now already with what's called general congregations, 261 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.240 where they're discussing in general what they want in the 262 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:18.960 next pope without campaigning. 263 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:23.440 More than thirteen thousand people filed into the Saint Mary 264 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:28.000 Major Basilica yesterday to view Francis's tomb, with several more 265 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.679 several thousand more waiting outside. When we come back, another 266 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.480 cars plowed into a crowd. ABC's Jim Ryan's going to 267 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.519 join us on why these attacks are increasing and what's 268 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:38.639 being done to prevent them. 269 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.039 That's coming out next. 270 00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.720 You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI 271 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:44.799 AM six forty. 272 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.519 Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 273 00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:49.840 Three men have been arrested in connection with a deadly 274 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:54.039 home invasion in Woodland Hills, Willy say. The three broke 275 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:57.120 into the home early Saturday morning, held the forty seven 276 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.360 year old homeowner captive, and beat him up. He died 277 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.240 of a head injury. At the scene. All three are 278 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.799 facing murder charges and are being held on two million 279 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:10.159 dollars bail. A major power outages hit Spain and Portugal, 280 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:15.320 including in those countries capitals. Parts of France apparently also affected. 281 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:19.120 The outage has halted trains and flights and left traffic 282 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:23.799 signals dark all over the country. First time nominees Chubby Checker, 283 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.559 Joe Cocker and Bad Company will be inducted into the 284 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.519 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a class that also 285 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:32.399 includes pop star Cindy Lauper, the hip hop Pioneers, Outcast, 286 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:37.039 the rock duo White Stripes, and grunge masters Sound Garden. 287 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:40.240 Some nominees that didn't get in this year Mariah Carey, 288 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.240 Fish and Billie Idol. At six oh five's handle on 289 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.000 the news, Russia's response to a Trump Zelensky meeting at 290 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.679 the Vatican, A barrage of drone strikes. Let's say good 291 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.120 morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. 292 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:52.679 Jim. 293 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.519 Another horrific crash this weekend where a person driving a 294 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.720 car plows into a crowd at a gathering or festival 295 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:00.519 or celebration. 296 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:02.360 What's the latest on this, Well. 297 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.080 Yes, eleven people we know have died. One person is 298 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:08.159 in constandy. The victims there ranged in age from five 299 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:13.600 to sixty five years old of Filipino Street celebration in Vancouver. 300 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:17.840 The suspects he's been identified as Kai g Adam Lowe. 301 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.120 The police have not said anything about his ethnicity or 302 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.279 his origin, where he came from, whether it was a 303 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:29.000 Native Canadian. But the police don't think this was an 304 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.840 act of terrorism. They believe that this man, this suspect, 305 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.600 had a mental health issue or some sort of crisis 306 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:38.559 unrelated to terrorism that convinced him that he needed to 307 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:42.200 drive his suv down this street filled with people, killing 308 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:43.919 eleven and injuring dozens. 309 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:49.519 We're seeing these more and more often, it seems, Jim, 310 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.960 I mean, especially if this guy has mental health issues. 311 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.720 I mean, there are these copycat kind of crimes. 312 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.440 Sure, we're not just in this country. Germany seems to 313 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:01.639 have a lot of these incidents, and there it may 314 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:06.399 be copycats here, perhaps the same situation. People see if 315 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:10.159 they've got you know, this intent in mind, they see 316 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.080 that it works in one place and they might try 317 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.000 it somewhere else. We saw it in Charlottesville, Virginia. We 318 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.799 saw it January first, in New Orleans. We saw somebody 319 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.519 you know, do the same thing at the parade, a 320 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.480 holiday parade in Kenosha, Wisconsin. So it does happen. I 321 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.279 think it was Waukesh actually wakesh Howers constant where that happened. 322 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.039 But you know, it does happen, and it seems to 323 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:35.879 be happening more that vehicles are being used as weapons. 324 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.759 And politically it's got to be you know how lawmakers 325 00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.480 love to just pounce on things. It's got to be 326 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.279 a little bit challenging for them because they can't say, oh, 327 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:46.279 it's guns that are bad. 328 00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:47.840 I mean, you can't say all cars are bad. 329 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:51.440 No, you're right, So what do we do about it? 330 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.519 I mean maybe there is legislation, not sure, but within 331 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.120 the and in some of these cases it was a 332 00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:59.960 rental car that was used. There was a rental car 333 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.279 New Orleans that that man used to drive down Bourbon 334 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:05.759 Street and kill fourteen. I think it was. It was 335 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.039 a rented cyber truck that was part there in Las 336 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.440 Vegas and blown up. So the rental car industry is 337 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:16.160 looking at strengthening its procedures, making it more difficult to 338 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.720 rent a car without a background check. But this is 339 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.440 fascinating to me geo fencing, and they use this on 340 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:27.839 golf court, golf carts in golf courses. Right, So the 341 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:32.880 GPS tracker is on the vehicle, and there's an alarm 342 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.359 that goes off if you drive this golf cart into 343 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:39.240 a sensitive area or off the the golf cart path. 344 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.960 Why not use that same kind of technology in a vehicle. Right, 345 00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.359 Almost every car has GPS, and certainly every year more 346 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:50.319 of them do. So certain areas of a community could 347 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:54.119 be blocked off, essentially a virtual barricade that keeps people 348 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:57.319 from driving down Bourbon Street, for example, or driving down 349 00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:02.440 that street in Charlottesville. Kill switch, Yeah, kill switch. And 350 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.559 even if it's your own car, your own vehicle, if 351 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:08.240 it's GPS equipped and the law enforcement has blocked off 352 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.319 an area, then and you start to turn onto that street, 353 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.319 either an alarm goes off, a buzzer, or the car 354 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:16.960 is simply shut down. 355 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:19.920 But it will right, Well, I would think that the 356 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.920 alarm or buzzer probably wouldn't if it's somebody's hell bent 357 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:24.799 on plowing into a crowd. 358 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.279 Right, I know that's true. And even with the golf carts, 359 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:31.279 if somebody's drunk and they're headed for the eighteenth. 360 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:32.680 Hole and not that that ever happens. 361 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:33.359 That's right. 362 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.759 No, people don't get wrong. But yeah, the buzzer, the 363 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:38.480 alarm on the golf cart isn't going to keep that 364 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.519 person from doing that. But if there is a kill switch, 365 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.319 if the if the if the golf cart itself recognize 366 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:46.519 it it's going into an area it shouldn't, it could 367 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:50.519 shut itself off. If a car is headed onto Canal 368 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:52.559 Street and over onto Bourbon Street, where there's a crowd 369 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.000 of people, the car could shut itself off. You know. 370 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.160 It's that's that maybe the future of preventing this kind 371 00:18:58.160 --> 00:18:58.400 of thing. 372 00:18:58.720 --> 00:18:59.759 Yeah, and then we know it. 373 00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:05.319 In New Orleans, which you referenced, their barriers were supposed 374 00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:07.240 to have been put in place, but they weren't there 375 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:09.680 yet ahead of Super Bowl and that kind of stuff. 376 00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.240 So are more cities going to start doing that? I 377 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:15.880 think they have them on the promenade, like the Third 378 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.680 Street promenade. There's ballards there so you can't drive down. 379 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:23.200 There, right, right, Physical barriers like that, and community planners 380 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.880 are looking at doing things like that. Redesigned urban areas 381 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:31.480 that protect the pedestrians from vehicles, you know, curbs that 382 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:35.880 are higher or more boulevards with separation down the middle 383 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:39.640 of them to prevent cars from doing committing mayhem. We've 384 00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:41.519 seen that happen in New York City, people driving out 385 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:44.279 of the crew onto the sidewalk and mowing people down. 386 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:51.160 So urban redesign technology like GPS tracking or geo fencing, 387 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.680 and then intelligence on the part of police is tracking 388 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.839 groups on social media to see who might be planning 389 00:19:58.880 --> 00:19:59.400 something like this. 390 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.559 Yeah, that we have to do this. But ABC's Jim Ryan, 391 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:04.680 thanks so much for the info. Thanks, you have a 392 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:08.440 good day. The Menendez brothers have filed court papers asking 393 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:11.599 a judge to remove La County DA Nathan Hawkman from 394 00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.799 their resentencing hearing. Attorney Mark garrigo says Hawkman should be 395 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:19.480 disqualified because of a conflict of interest. Garrigos claims Hawkman 396 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.920 has admitted to the conflict and has even helped organize 397 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.400 protests against the resentencing. A hearing on the motion is 398 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.359 scheduled for next month. A new bill in California aims 399 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:33.240 to create innovative insurance options to protect people from climate 400 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.920 related risks. If passed, a new program would pay for 401 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.240
