The 31 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.560 sheriffs in Sheriff's Deputies in King's County went to a 32 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.959 house in Hanford for a welfare check and they found 33 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.040 the woman dead with a gunshot wound. They believe that 34 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.239 twenty three year old Jonathan Maldonado Cruz of Hanford left 35 00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.239 the home earlier that day at about one in the 36 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.840 morning with his two kids after allegedly killing their mother. 37 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:54.680 So they're looking for three year old Aria Maldonado and 38 00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:59.680 two year old Alena Maldonado.

Even though this happened in Hanford, the 44 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.360 assumption is that this guy may be headed to Mexico, 45 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:23.960 which is why it's such a big deal here in 46 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.240 southern California. 47 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.680 Harvey Weinstein is begging a judge in Manhattan today to 48 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.439 put him on trial earlier than planned.

Nice to meet you guys, Listen. 121 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.720 I was there on Tuesday and Wednesday when the fires 122 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.399 broke out to visit some friends I don't live in 123 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.079 LA have them for twenty five years, but it's you know, 124 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.879 my upbringing, so I wanted to donate a million dollars. 125 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.040 Actually what I found was people are been really generous 126 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.759 with clothing, but the big problem is, you know obviously 127 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.639 how that's the most expensive piece, and then food. So 128 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.680 I'm actually donating four and a half million dollars. But 129 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.199 the Dream Center I found out about from iHeartRadio and 130 00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.480 I went and did my homework and they're doing such 131 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.800 an amazing job reaching the people that need it most. 132 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.560 So if people go to Dreamcenter dot org and want 133 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.439 to donate, I'll match your dollars.

And then I 142 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.000 lost my own home years and years ago, so I 143 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:41.639 know what it feels like, and so I have three 144 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.000 tools that I give people to help their kids and 145 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.079 themselves get through the emotion of it as well. That 146 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.480 we're not charging for anything, obviously, it's all just. 147 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.759 A gift when people. I mean, there's eleven million people 148 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.319 in La County, and several thousands of them have been 149 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.519 impacted by these fires. There's still another ten and a 150 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.439 half million who are not necessarily impacted but feel the 151 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.120 emotional toll of this. Perhaps could you talk about how 152 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:13.120 how important it is for recording and you talk all that, 153 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.920 how important is it for you to be involved in 154 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:18.000 the recovery effort? 155 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.079 Well that's you know a few years ago when I 156 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.240 lost my own home, I had three children, and you know, 157 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:24.839 we got out with the clothes on our back, and 158 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.160 you know, obviously you feel grief and anger and frustration 159 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.480 and all those pieces because everything I had in those days. 160 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.039 I'm old enough when your pictures were just your pictures. 161 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.759 They weren't on the web or anywhere else. But I 162 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.960 you know, I had to discipline my disappointment, right, I 163 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.200 had to show my kids that, look, you know, we 164 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.960 lost things, we didn't lose each other. Things are replaceable. 165 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:45.360 And so as a result of that, I also worked 166 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.679 on different tools and so I built. I'm sure you're 167 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:50.919 familiar to acupuncture of five thousand year old you know, 168 00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.679 healing process. There's something called energy tapping. Well, you can 169 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.559 tap without needles in those same locations. There's three hundred 170 00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.679 scientific studies and it will wipe out fear or in trauma. 171 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.919 And so I built an application, and uh, we've had 172 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.240 twenty seven million people use it, and so we know 173 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.240 one point two million people, for example, have done this 174 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.879 nine minute tapping and reduce their grief by forty two percent, 175 00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.200 give you an example. So I'm providing a year of 176 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.559 that for free as well. And there's a company I 177 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.519 don't have a portion of. It's called Newcolm that I 178 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.120 use every night that calms your nervous system so you 179 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.559 can sleep. I use it just to calm myself down, 180 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:25.399 has something to get you going in the morning.

The White House has confirmed omb 267 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:57.519 did pull the memo today in a two sentence notice 268 00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.559 to its agencies and departments, but said that the underlying 269 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:04.000 executive order targeting federal spending in areas like diversity, equity 270 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.919 and inclusion, and climate change are still in place. 271 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.240 The Monday evening. 272 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.279 Order from the White House Office of Management and Budget 273 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:14.799 did spark some uncertainty over some of the financial lifeline 274 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:18.240 that exists for states and schools and organizations that rely 275 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.120 on a lot of money, trillions of dollars of money 276 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:24.200 from Washington. So the White House was kind of scrambling 277 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.919 to explain what would and wouldn't be subject to this 278 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:28.399 pause in funding. 279 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:34.440 Well, Rihanna has shown up downtown La rare court appearance 280 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.960 at the trial of her partner, father of her children, 281 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:39.240 Asap Rocky. 282 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.240 She appeared this. 283 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:47.279 Morning, sat in that criminal courthouse there next to Rocky's 284 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:51.200 mother and sister. He has been standing trial on felony 285 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:54.639 charges that he fired a handgun at a former friend. 286 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.200 Rocky's attorneys had said before the trial began last week 287 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.360 that Rihanna could appear in the audience to support him, 288 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:06.000 but it was unlikely that he might be too protective 289 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.879 of her and their family to want her present. I 290 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.519 guess they needed the court needed to know for security 291 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.080 purposes of how many bailiffs to have on hand something 292 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:14.360 like that. 293 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.000 This also became a question for the jurors, which was, 294 00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.240 first of all, do you know who this is pointing 295 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.320 to the defendant Asap Rocky, And do you know who 296 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.120 he has had made babies with? Do you know Rihanna 297 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.000 and a lot more people knew Rihanna than they did 298 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.440 asap Rockett Rockets, but they all said that their opinion 299 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.960 of her or their knowledge of her probably wouldn't sway 300 00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:35.600 their decision one way or the other. 301 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:40.679 Asap Rocky's legal name is Rakim Athelson Mayers. He could 302 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.879 get twenty four years in prison if he's convicted of 303 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:47.960 these two felonyc counts of assault with a semi automatic firearm. 304 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:51.360 He kind of snubbed his nose at the plea deal 305 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.679 decided to roll the dice in trial. He and Rihanna, 306 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.960 they're thirty six years old. They have two sons together, 307 00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:03.480 a two year old and a one year old. 308 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:06.399 No I was going to say their names, but they're 309 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.559 the children, Riza, I don't I don't know. 310 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:10.840 I'm just gonna screw it up. 311 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.879 So that's the two year old and then one year 312 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:15.720 old little girl named riot Rose. 313 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:17.600 It's a fun name. 314 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.519 So yesterday asap Relly. 315 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:30.039 Was testifying, they both so the A SAP is the 316 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.960 crew that they came out of. They all came from 317 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.559 the same high school.

He was on the verge of talking about what 322 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:51.360 actually happened. They had been in a close relationship. They 323 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.559 had been friends, but that that kind of fell apart 324 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:57.600 when Asap Rocky started getting famous, and he said the 325 00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:00.320 relationship was strained for years. It was getting worse in 326 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.799 the previous days, but he was still furious when Rocky 327 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.279 allegedly pulled a gun on him after a fight that 328 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:09.200 began the moment they met up at the w Hotel 329 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:09.840 in Hollywood. 330 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:13.879 Aceprelly testified, I told him to use it because mentally 331 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:18.360 I couldn't believe it, he said, as acep Rocky stared 332 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.200 at him intently from the defense table.
