Following the Pacific 26 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.239 Palisades fire, The city of La assued a group of 27 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.920 property owners for driving up prices following the wildfires in January. 28 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.640 The group is accused of price gouging to the tune 29 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.840 of sixty two million dollars. The La City County City 30 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:02.680 Attorney's office says they're also accused of violating short term 31 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.200 rental laws.

But we're talking to our 40 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.199 White House correspondent John Decker about the Vance's visiting Greenland. 41 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.680 That's coming up in just a couple of minutes. Also 42 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.759 a new show that takes a look behind the curtains 43 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.120 in Hollywood and an AI robot goes rogue. What could 44 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.719 possibly go wrong? We're going to find out with ABC's 45 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.680 Will Gans. That's coming up at about five point fifty, 46 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.840 So lots of head on wake up call. Let's get 47 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:54.439 right into it and get started with some of the 48 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.039 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 49 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.199 Her Mosa Beach has banned all camping in public areas. 50 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.680 Mayor Dean Francois say is a Supreme Court decision last 51 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.680 year has empowered the city to better regulate homeless camps. 52 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.199 He says the ordinance adopted by the city council this 53 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:15.080 week allows for more enforcement options to help keep the 54 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.639 city safe and sanitary. La Mayor Bass has rushed to 55 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.280 a federal court hearing after a judge blasted Or for 56 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:22.960 not showing up. 57 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.280 Hearing was over the court mandated audit of the city's 58 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.639 homeless spending and the LA Homeless Services Authority. Judge David 59 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.159 Carter says he was upset the mayor wasn't there, but 60 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.759 she showed up after that. Tongue lashing LASSA CEO Belisia 61 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.479 Adams Kellum was a no show out of town, which 62 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.000 the judge called unacceptable. The judge said poor oversight and 63 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.960 bad accounting has dogged homeless programs for years and something 64 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.599 needs to change. Carter says he plans to hold another 65 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.039 hearing on the matter next month. Michael Monks KFI. 66 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.080 News healthcare providers in Koreatown and Northridge have agreed to 67 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.439 pay over sixty two million dollars to settle claims they 68 00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:01.759 submitted false diagnoses to get higher Medicare advantage payments. Sole 69 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.680 Medical Group and Renaissance Imaging will pay for their role 70 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.039 in the scheme. Settlement stems from a whistleblower case where 71 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.120 a former worker exposed the fraud. The government claims that 72 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.080 between twenty fifteen and twenty twenty one, Sole Medical Group 73 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:19.800 submitted fake diagnosis for spinal conditions patients did not have. 74 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.079 La Metro's board of directors says it wants more women 75 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.439 working on the transit agency's construction projects. Board member and 76 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.720 La County Supervisor Lindsay Horvaz says Metro should do whatever 77 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.079 it can to increase what it calls its equity and 78 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:35.879 hiring goals. 79 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.560 We do have some latitude and even maybe I would 80 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.920 say an obligation as a public agency to combat what 81 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.360 the court referred to as private prejudice. 82 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.319 Horvaz says women who might want to work in construction 83 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:52.720 face challenges like childcare opportunities. Metro's staff is expected to 84 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.720 report on its updated efforts by the end of the year. 85 00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.519 Let's say good morning too, kfi's White House correspondent John 86 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.759 deck Er. Look at that, John, I got your intro 87 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:03.560 right this time. 88 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.079 Well, you typically get it right. Amy. Good to be 89 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:08.759 with you this morning. How are you doing today? 90 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.000 Doing great? It's a great day. We're basking in the 91 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.680 glow of a Dodgers' home opening win. 92 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.800 So that's all that three and oh good start, good 93 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.439 start to the season for the Dodgers. 94 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.120 Okay, So the Vances are headed to Greenland today. First 95 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.399 it was Usha JD's wife, but then the Vice President 96 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.160 decided he was going to go to Why did that change? 97 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:31.560 Do we know? 98 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.959 Well, it has a lot to do with the way 99 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.560 the visit was perceived by the people of Greenland and 100 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.199 the Prime Minister of Greenland. And now that the Vice 101 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.920 President is leading this delegation, which also includes the National 102 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:52.920 Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and President Trump's Energy secretary. They 103 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.240 will only make one stop. They're going to visit the 104 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.639 one and only US military base in Greenland. It's on 105 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:07.680 the northeastern coast of Greenland. And then after they make 106 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.199 that visit, they're coming back. It's a day trip. In fact, 107 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.480 within the past hour amy that plane with the Vice 108 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.079 President and the delegation left Andrews Air Force Base. It's 109 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.079 a five and a half hour flight. So after that flight, 110 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.079 after the visit, they come back to the US and 111 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.040 they arrive back in Washington late tonight. 112 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.920 Okay, so I was going to ask you, So they're 113 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.759 going to the Space Force Bace. Are they going to 114 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.199 be met by anyone in Greenland? Or are they just 115 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.600 going and they'll be met by US military people and 116 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:38.240 tour the base. 117 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.639 Yeah, it's US military officials. It's not an official visit. 118 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.680 I don't think you're going to see a welcome at 119 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.480 the airport by Greenland's prime minister. They really haven't taken 120 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.920 kindly to some of the things that President Trump has said, 121 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.319 his desire to have Greenland a part of US territory. 122 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:59.120 Greenland's prime minister is not interested in that. Denmark's Prime minister. 123 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:04.480 Denmark essentially owns Greenland. It's a territory of Denmark. They're 124 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.120 not interested in selling Greenland. And you may not know this, 125 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.079 but I'll remind you the US once had seventeen seventeen 126 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.600 military installations on the island of Greenland. That was during 127 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.199 the height of World War Two and also during the 128 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.199 Cold War. But the US has withdrawn all of those 129 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.839 military installations. And perhaps maybe that's the endgame for a 130 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:30.800 for President Trump to establish more US military installations on 131 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.319 that island, because. 132 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:36.439 Yeah, we've talked before about what could the endgame be 133 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:38.800 because he comes in he says, hey, we're taking over Greenland. 134 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.800 We need it. But like, can he take over Greenland? 135 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.319 Who's going to let him take it? I mean, we're 136 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.519 not going to invade it with the military, are we? 137 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:49.279 I Mean, there's so many questions. 138 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.240 Can imagine that in the sense that Denmark is a 139 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.920 NATO ally And I can't think of any instance in 140 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.120 which a NATO ally essentially took over territory from another 141 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.199 NATO ally. This is I think, you know one of 142 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:08.560 those instances where do I think that Greenland will become 143 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.600 a US territory within the next four years of the 144 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.959 Trump administration. No, I don't, But is it possible to 145 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.920 see more US military installations established on that island? Absolutely, 146 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:21.160 and I think Greenland would be. 147 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:22.160 Open to that. 148 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:27.000 That is something that is a doable thing for President 149 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:31.040 Trump and for the Vice president making this visit today. 150 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.840 And you know, it's not like there's this big clamor 151 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.879 in Washington, d C. For the US to have Greenland 152 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.240 as part of US territory. 153 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:42.759 And I'm going to ask you a question that I 154 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.559 don't know if you have an answer to, but I'll 155 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:45.159 ask anyway. 156 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:46.360 I'll try my best. 157 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:51.000 Okay, when we go onto a place like Greenland, where 158 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:52.960 you said we used to have seventeen bases, we have one. 159 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.840 Now if we go in and we put a base in, 160 00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.320 do we pay them to be able to be there 161 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.960 or is it sort of a you know, hey will 162 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.639 help protect you if you let us put up a 163 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:04.080 base here. 164 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.840 Well, let's talk about where the United States has military basis. 165 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.960 So you know, we have a several US military basis 166 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.360 on the island of Japan, for instance, And yes, the 167 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:23.360 US provides compensation to Japan for having those military bases 168 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.159 in Japan. The same thing would apply to military installations 169 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:32.399 that could potentially be established in Greenland. And as it 170 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:36.440 relates to the other reason why President Trump desires Greenland, 171 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:40.720 and that's its natural mineral resources. We'll see if some 172 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:44.639 sort of deal comes out ultimately of these visits that 173 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.440 we're seeing being made by US officials. You know, a 174 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.200 few months ago it was Donald J. Trump Junior who 175 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.720 visited Greenland said it was just a tourist visit. But 176 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:56.480 I think the message was made loud and clear that 177 00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.519 he was representing his father, who of course has spoken 178 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:04.519 quite often, including during his address to Congress, of making 179 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.399 Greenland a part of US territory. 180 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.559 Okay, cafi's White House correspondent, John Decker, thanks as always 181 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.120 for the information. We'll talk again soon. 182 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:13.919 Thanks Amy Bright, take care. 183 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:15.919 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 184 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.000 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A powerful earthquake 185 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.039 has hit Thailand and mean Mar. 186 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:24.799 The US Geological Survey says the magnitude seven point seven 187 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.679 quake hit around midday local time near Mandalay in central 188 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.919 me and Mar. It was followed by a powerful aftershock. 189 00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.600 There's been no word yet of damage in Mandalay. But 190 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.759 some six hundred miles to the south. The earthquake had 191 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.159 buildings swaying in the city of Bangkok, where panic residents 192 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.879 were rushing out into the streets. 193 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.000 Kafi's Michael Kassner says video posted on social media shows 194 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.960 the collapse of a high rise under construction in Bangkok. 195 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:52.440 Rescue workers say the rubble at the construction site is 196 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:55.879 still too unstable for them to try to find people 197 00:10:55.960 --> 00:11:01.200 missing and maybe trapped underneath. Thai Defense says three people 198 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.399 were killed, ninety so far are missing seven point seven. Wow, 199 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.559 that's a big one. The Environmental Protection Agency is setting 200 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:12.200 up a portal to allow polluters to request exemptions from 201 00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:16.279 Clean Air Act rules. The legislation allows President Trump to 202 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:21.159 exempt polluters from complying with regulations if he deems the 203 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:25.240 rules are based on technology that doesn't yet exist. The 204 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.279 EPA posted this week that it's set up an email 205 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:32.559 that allows companies to more easily request those exemptions. There's 206 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:37.159 an exodus of Democrats in California State Assembly from x. 207 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.360 California State Assembly Speaker Robert Revis and fifty seven other 208 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.879 Democratic members have announced no more official state account communications 209 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.600 on X. Revas's office says it's one of the largest 210 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.519 exits of elected officials. In his final post there, Revis 211 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:53.000 said hate speeches everywhere on X, the company has no accountability, 212 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.639 there's a flood of misinformation from fake accounts, and he 213 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.879 doesn't think taxpayer resources should go to X. Citing owner 214 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:02.440 Elon musk Vivis said democracy depends on impartial information, not 215 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.279 the shifting whims of one billionaire. Mark Ronner KFI News. 216 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:09.159 The San Jose City Council's approved a program allowing the 217 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.360 city's fire department to charge for emergency medical services starting 218 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.279 in January. Patients will be built four hundred twenty seven 219 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.159 dollars for treatment, though uninsured residents may qualify for reduced 220 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.799 fees or a waiver through a compassionate billing program. San 221 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.240 Jose joins twenty three other cities in California, including San 222 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:31.720 Francisco and Napa, that charge first responder fees. King Charles 223 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.639 has canceled his public appearances for today after a trip 224 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:39.279 to the hospital. Charles was briefly hospitalized because of side 225 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:42.639 effects from his cancer treatment. He was diagnosed last year 226 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.879 and has been undergoing a treatment for a while now. 227 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.440 Buckingham Palace says Charles spent a short time under hospital 228 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:56.080 observation yesterday afternoon, but has returned home.

We need you help to hit 284 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:45.519 our goal. Thank you. The city of Hermosa Beach has 285 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.879 banned camping in all public areas. City council made the 286 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.639 decision this week, saying it's about keeping the city a 287 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:55.240 safe and sanitary environment for all. It's the latest city 288 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:58.120 in southern California to band camping in all public spaces 289 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:02.279 to combat homelessness. As La Metro Board of Directors are 290 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.799 moving forward with a plan to get more women into 291 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.879 construction jobs in a unanimous vote. The board has instructed 292 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.519 its staff to expand initiatives to help women and meet 293 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.879 equity and hiring goals as the city prepares for global 294 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.200 events like the Olympics, Super Bowl, and Soccer World Championships, 295 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.120 along with other big projects. A federal judge is ordered 296 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.360 Trump administration officials to keep messages sent on the Signal 297 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.879 app that were accidentally shared with a journalist. Judge James 298 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:35.080 Bosberg ruled that the agencies must preserve the texts related 299 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.480 to the attack on Yemen, and advocacy group sued, claiming 300 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:43.399 Department secretaries and intelligence chiefs ignored federal records laws by 301 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:47.200 using the auto delete features on the app. Let's say 302 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:52.559 good morning now to ABC's White House reporter Mollie Nagel. Mollie, 303 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.960 New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik was going to be the 304 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.919 ambassador to the UN, but that's off the table. What happened? 305 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:04.720 Yeah, yesterday, President Trump pulling a Stephonics nomination to serve 306 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.720 as you an ambassador. He pointed to the very narrow 307 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.440 majority that Republicans hold in the House. He says they 308 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:14.319 need every House Republican seat and with a tight majority. Quote, 309 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.200 I don't want to take a chance on anyone else 310 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:20.079 running for Aleasa's seat, so really pointing to the votes 311 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:22.359 there and that they'll need every vote they can get 312 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:25.720 to pass his legislative priorities through the Congress. 313 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.799 Yeah. I think when he first started nominating people, people 314 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.839 were like, oh, you're cutting the Republican majority. Ope, you're 315 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:37.640 cutting the Republican majority. So, I mean it almost makes sense. 316 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.240 It's just too bad that she kind of had to 317 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:43.160 step down from her leadership position and go through the 318 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:45.400 process that before he kind of went, yeah, that's not 319 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:46.200 such a great idea. 320 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.799 Yeah, you know, you're exactly right. This tighte majority in 321 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.720 the House not a new reality for the administration or 322 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.799 Republicans because they knew as he continued to pull these 323 00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.000 members and he didn't pull that many, but it shows 324 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.799 just how tight the margins were to begin with, that 325 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.359 there were those big concerns. And you do have two 326 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.200 special elections coming up in Florida as a result of 327 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:12.799 Donald Trump's nominations, including one to fill National Security Advisor 328 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:16.079 Mike Waltz's seat. You know, both of those races are 329 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:21.440 favored for Republicans, but in those districts are you know, districts. 330 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:25.039 But there's been some concern about Waltz's race, in particular 331 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:28.519 the Republicans running to replace him. There's some have race 332 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:32.559 concerns about his fundraising and campaigning compared to his Democratic opponent. 333 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.680 So something that Republicans are likely keeping a very close 334 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:38.599 eye on. And the reality is with Stephonic's seat, if 335 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:40.680 she were to be confirmed, it could have been left 336 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:43.079 vacant for quite some time, which could have posed a 337 00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:45.680 real problem for Mike Johnson as he tries to pass 338 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.359 this agenda through the House and onto the Senate. 339 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.279 Okay, and so with that now off the table, do 340 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.160 we know, has there been any hints or indications of 341 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.880 who may be named as the UN ambassador? 342 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:00.519 You know? 343 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.079 Interestingly, President Trump did not name who he would want 344 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:10.160 to be you an ambassador after pulling stephanics nomination. You know, 345 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:12.480 he says there are others who can do a good 346 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.319 job at the United Nations, but he doesn't say who 347 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:16.319 exactly that would be. 348 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:18.400 Okay, So we're gonna have to wait and stay on that. 349 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:21.559 And then as far as she goes, she stepped down 350 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:26.400 from a leadership position to Yeah, so what happens to 351 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.480 her next I'm imagining that's been filled already or did 352 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.039 that did that stay open for a while? 353 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:34.400 Yeah, No, this is this is going to be something 354 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:35.960 interesting to kind of watch play out. We have a 355 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.799 little bit of a leadership snafu here. Stefana gave up 356 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.680 that leadership position as part of this nomination, but both 357 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.559 President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson said that she 358 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.839 will be part of leadership, but not exactly clear what 359 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.279 role she's going to have because she was replaced to 360 00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:54.079 the House Republican Conference Chair is currently Representative Lisa McLean 361 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.880 from Michigan. Sources familiar with the mattertell ABC that McLean 362 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.720 doesn't plan on resigning from her roles, so it's not 363 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.680 clear where Stephanic will land in all this. They could 364 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.400 create a new position for her, but nothing has been 365 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:07.599 formally decided yet. 366 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.119 Yeah, and I would imagine that this, like you just said, 367 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.559 McLean is like, uh no, I'm not stepping down because 368 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.640 they obviously want to get assigned to more powerful positions 369 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.400 within Congress as they navigate being a Congress member. So 370 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.200 maybe maybe they'll come to fisticuffs. Is that what they 371 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:26.559 call it. 372 00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:30.720 Yeah, we'll have to see how this plays out. You know, 373 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:35.039 they could following Democrats footsteps and create a new position, 374 00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:37.640 you know, perhaps assistant to the speaker or something like that. 375 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.000 But it's hard to know yet just what exactly is 376 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.640 going to happen here, because I don't think people were 377 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:45.920 necessarily expecting this to happen before yesterday. 378 00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:48.519 Yeah, okay, ABC's Molly Nagel. Hopefully we'll talk to you 379 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.480 again soon when we find out what's coming next for 380 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:53.799 Miss Stephonic. 381 00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:56.839 That's great, Thank you, thank. 382 00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:01.160 You so much. Records on preparations and the response to 383 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:04.000 the fire in Pacific Palisades in January have yet to 384 00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:06.400 be made public. The La Times says the fire Department, 385 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:09.720 the mayor, and the representatives have not have yet to 386 00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:13.200 provide answers to some basic questions, and the fire department 387 00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:16.839 has denied dozens of public records requests from journalists and 388 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.279 others related to its handling of the fire, including nine 389 00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:24.119 to one one calls, dispatch logs, and internal communications about 390 00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:28.039 preparations for the extreme winds. People in the Palisades have 391 00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:33.240 criticized the lack of transparency. A toddler in Riverside diagnosed 392 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:35.559 with measles that we told you about earlier this week 393 00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.759 doesn't have it. The two year old's mom took her 394 00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:41.480 to the hospital after she became sick and developed a rash. 395 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.440 She was diagnosed with measles, but then a test from 396 00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:47.480 Riverside County Public Health turned up negative for the virus. 397 00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:51.680 The cause of the child's symptoms remain undetermined. The mom 398 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:55.039 says the little girl is vaccinated. The bodies of Gene 399 00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:59.920 Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, remain unclaimed more than 400 00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:01.279 a month after their deaths. 401 00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:03.720
