Demonstrators carried flags and banners through the streets 50 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.719 of LA and boil heights yesterday to protest President Trump's 51 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.319 crackdown on illegal immigration. A woman from Lakewood is expected 52 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.400 to plead guilty today to falsely claiming her property was 53 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.599 damaged in the Pacific Palisades wildfire, even though she doesn't 54 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.639 own property in the area. Prosecutors say Hashittia Robertson got 55 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.120 about two twenty five thousand dollars in FEMA benefits fraudulently. 56 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.599 She could get up to thirty years in federal prison. 57 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:10.159 A federal judge has blocked deportations of suspected Venezuelan gang 58 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.800 members under the Alien Enemies Act. The judge, who was 59 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.599 appointed by President Trump during his first term, says Trendey 60 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.039 or Rogwell gang members are not invading the country as 61 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.240 the Trump administration has argued.

An employee at 75 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.280 all Of Middle School in Baldwin Park has been arrested 76 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.400 after a twelve hour standoff on campus. The school was 77 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.400 evacuated yesterday because of what was said to be a 78 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.480 disturbance in the main office. This parent says it was 79 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.279 believed to be a teacher who had posted something disturbing 80 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:20.560 on social media. 81 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:25.120 Totally out of character.

They used flash bang grenades, 84 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.800 a battering ram and teargas. The woman was arrested at 85 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.920 about nine thirty last night and taken to a hospital. 86 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.199 Not clear why she was holed up in the office. 87 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.600 News brought to you by Simper solaris a review of 88 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.279 LA's proposed budget as council members questioning how the city 89 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:49.920 spends money on the homeless. 90 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.199 Some members of the city council's budget committee have asked 91 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.759 what is the city's role in fighting homelessness now that 92 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.959 the county is leaving the LA Homeless Services Authority. City 93 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.959 administrator Man'zebo says the city is all r over extended 94 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.199 and maybe doesn't need to be. 95 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.040 We do not have anywhere close to the resources that 96 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.439 the county has to address this problem. 97 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:08.800 We have a fraction of a fraction. 98 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.000 At least one member of the committee has said, technically, 99 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.040 most homeless programs fall under the purview of the county. 100 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.040 The city spends around three hundred million dollars each year 101 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.879 on homelessness. Michael Monks KFI. 102 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.480 News Congress has taken a step to overturn California's plan 103 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.680 to ban gas powered cars by twenty thirty five. The 104 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.120 House passed a resolution yesterday by California Republican Congressman Kevin 105 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:30.959 Kylie to. 106 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.680 Stop a single individual, Gavin Newsom, from dictating what tens 107 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.680 of millions of Californians and other Americans are allowed to drive. 108 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.800 The resolution would cancel special permission from the federal government 109 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:47.000 that allows California to implement the ban. Kevinor Newsom says 110 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.519 he will keep defending clean air for all Californians.

I've got another set back 118 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.439 for President Trump in his efforts to get Trendy or 119 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.879 Rugwa gang members out of the US. What happened? 120 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.319 That's exactly right. This is really the first ruling of 121 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.720 its kind where we've seen a federal judge find that 122 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.120 the Trump's application of the Alien Enemies Act to remove 123 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.399 members of trend de Aragua from the United States is unlawful. 124 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.240 We've heard a lot about this law over the last 125 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.399 two months, and certainly we've seen other judges block this law. 126 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.439 From being used to deport people, but ultimately those were 127 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.600 all done in emergency scenarios, and no judge has really 128 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.800 looked at this big question of whether or not Trump 129 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.000 can say trend de Ragua is a foreign nation invading 130 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.399 the United States as justification to remove them under this 131 00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.879 centuries old law. Just yesterday we saw Points Yet of 132 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.839 Texas reach a conclusion on that saying that Trump provided 133 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.519 no evidence and can't claim the group is actually invading 134 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.000 the United States. Yet another setback for the president's immigration agenda. 135 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.319 Okay, and what did the judge say in making this ruling? 136 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.160 So the judges didn't really want to look into this 137 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.720 question of whether or not Trendarragua can be considered a 138 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.079 hybrid criminal state, as Trump alleges, but in terms of 139 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.920 whether or not the Trump administration was able to provide 140 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.879 any evidence. He said that, yes, trend Aarragua is doing 141 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.759 harm to the United States citizens, but the Trump administration 142 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.160 isn't providing any evidence to prove that they're engaging in 143 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.000 an invasion or predator predatory incursion of the United States. 144 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.800 Under that law, the Alien Enemies Act in order to 145 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.519 invoke it, like we've seen during both World wars or 146 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.839 the War of eighteen twelve. There needs to be another 147 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.160 country actively invading or kind of trying to enter the 148 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.920 United States territory. In this case, trend Arragua, while it 149 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.720 might be doing harm in the United States, isn't invading 150 00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.439 it in the proper sense of the terms. 151 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.319 Okay, So then this leads to this question because I 152 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.079 thought it Maybe I could be wrong on this, it's 153 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:08.279 very likely, but I thought that another court had ruled 154 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.279 that they and I thought it was a higher court 155 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.240 that said, yes, you can use the Alien Enemies Act. 156 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:17.720 You know, it's tricky because there's kind of this patchwork 157 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.959 of cases throughout the country. You're exactly right if you 158 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.120 rewind through. Last month, the Supreme Court came out with 159 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:26.560 a ruling saying that from could go forward with the 160 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.000 Alien Enemies Act and so far as he gave these 161 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.440 non citizens notice that they're actually being deported and enough 162 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.399 time to kind of go to a court and raise 163 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:38.200 concerns about that. Ultimately, after that decision, we saw a 164 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.840 series of rulings around the United States. It's kind of 165 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.600 trying to define what exactly that meant. What the Supreme 166 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.879 Court meant when said, for example, you should have a 167 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.600 reasonable amount of time to challenge this ruling. And this 168 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:51.559 was one of these cases, this one out of the 169 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.799 Southern District of Texas. There was one in New York, 170 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.799 there was one in Colorado, where where basically the Supreme 171 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.799 Court throughout that original case clarified with the what the 172 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.320 what the procedure is and suggested that going forward, if 173 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.679 you want to challenge these deportations, you should file it 174 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:12.279 in the districts other than Washington DC and file what's 175 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.399 called the habeas petition. So basically this is an extension 176 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:17.279 in a way of that Supreme Court ruling, and that 177 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.200 the Supreme Court basically forced all these plaintiffs to go 178 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.600 back to stage one, and that's what they're doing here. 179 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:24.639 And now these cases are expected to go through the 180 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.320 appeals court and probably we'll reach the Supreme Court all 181 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:27.799 over again. 182 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:32.000 So I mean, thank you for explaining that, because you know, 183 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.240 you think that once it hits the Supreme Court, the 184 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.679 issue becomes settled. But because it sounds like they're kind 185 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:42.080 of ruling on technicalities as opposed to a full on 186 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.879 broad ruling, that's the way that they can kind of 187 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.639 reconfigure and try again. 188 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.600 That's exactly right. So the Supreme Court when it came 189 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.120 to that conclusion, didn't actually look at this legal question 190 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.080 of whether or not Trump properly invoked the Alien Enemties Act. 191 00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.039 There was a technicality in a way. They said, this 192 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.440 lawsuit shouldn't be going forward in Washington, d c. To 193 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.639 be filed in Texas, and it shouldn't be filed it 194 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.799 should be filed as what's called the habeas petition. So 195 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.120 you know, this was kind of what the Supreme Court 196 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.279 asked for in a way. They said, come back to 197 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.960 me when it's refiled, and we'll see this thing go 198 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.000 through the appeals court all over again. Here as we 199 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.279 try to see whether or not this is actually way 200 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.799 for the Trump administration to speed up deportations or what's 201 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.480 seeming more likely and that you know, this is becoming 202 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.720 more of a hassle than the Trump administration expected. There 203 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.080 are more illegal challenges in place after what they thought 204 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.679 would be a fast way to speed up the deportation process. 205 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.960 Yeah, okay, ABC's Peter hi Alambos, thank you so much 206 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.039 for helping sort that out. As with everything, it's so 207 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.120 complicated and we kind of need to get into the 208 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.600 weeds to make sense of it, so we appreciate it. 209 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:47.919 My pleasure. Thanks so much for having me. 210 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:49.360 All right, let's get back to some of the stories 211 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.080 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. President 212 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.559 Trump is threatened to sanction anyone who buys irany and oil. 213 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.360 The warning came after Oman announced that talks between the 214 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.360 US and Iran that we're supposed to happen in Rome 215 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:04.559 tomorrow had been postponed. Oman said it was for logistical reasons. 216 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:08.000 Trump said any country that does business with Iran will 217 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:12.360 not be doing business with the US. China is Iran's leader, 218 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:17.480 a leading importer of oil. Vice President Vance says that 219 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.440 Mike Walls is not being fired from his role as 220 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:21.960 National Security Advisor. 221 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.600 I think the media wants to frame this as a firing. 222 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:27.399 Donald Trump has fired a lot of people. He doesn't 223 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.200 give them senate confirmed appointments afterwards. What he thinks is 224 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.360 that Mike Waltz is going to better serve the administration, 225 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:34.840 most importantly the American people in that role, and I 226 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:36.200 have an agree with him. 227 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.679 Vance told Fox News the decision for Walls to leave 228 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.720 his position is in fact a promotion, as President Trump 229 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:46.159 is nominated to become him to become the US Ambassador 230 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.159 to the United Nations, Walts is likely to face grilling 231 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:53.120 about mistakingly adding a reporter to a signal group chat 232 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:57.120 during Senate confirmation hearings. Reports of sexual assaults in the 233 00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.480 US military are down. 234 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.600 A new Pentagon reports says the number of sexual assaults 235 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.120 reported across the military fell by nearly four percent last year, 236 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.840 and there was a significant drop in the Army. It's 237 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.039 the second year in a row with a decrease that 238 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.799 reverses a trend that's played the Defense Department for more 239 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:15.480 than a decade. Defense officials say while the decline is 240 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.159 a good sign, the numbers of reported assaults are still 241 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.039 too high. Deborah mark koff I News. 242 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.399 A ship carrying aid to Gaze has been attacked by 243 00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:27.600 drones off the coast of Malta. The humanitarian group Freedom 244 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:31.000 Flotilla Coalition says there was a fire on board, but 245 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.759 it was controlled. A nearby tugboat responded to a distress call. 246 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:40.279 No injuries were reported. Apple CEO Tim Cook says President 247 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.480 Trump's tariffs could cost the company almost a billion dollars 248 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.679 in just the second quarter. 249 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.240 During a Thursday earnings call, Cook said he was not 250 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.759 able to estimate the impact of tariffs precisely, but assuming 251 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.399 things do not change, it would add an additional nine 252 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.120 hundred million dollars to costs. 253 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.840 Kfi's Mark Mayfield says most apple products are made in China, 254 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.039 which is facing the h high US tariffs. Almost half 255 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.240 of Americans say they believe the government is hiding information 256 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:06.720 about UFOs. 257 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.360 A News Nation poll found forty four percent of those 258 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.519 surveyed believe UFO informations being hidden, while twenty eight percent disagree. 259 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:17.039 The poll found young Americans are particularly suspicious, with forty 260 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.440 nine percent of Gen Z respondents and forty eight percent 261 00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.720 of millennials believing in government UFO secrecy, compared to just 262 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.840 thirty four percent of Baby boomers. The findings come after 263 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:30.679 congressional hearings and Pentagon reports acknowledged unexplained encounters by military personnel. 264 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.440 Mark Ronner KFI News. 265 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:35.480 Tonight the Dodgers taken on the Braves in Atlanta.

My 271 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.480 house in Hollywood that had been overrun by squatters has 272 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.240 been reduced to rubble. The house on Wiltern Avenue has 273 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.399 burned down. The fire yesterday was the fourth fire at 274 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.360 the property in about two weeks. Neighbors had been complaining 275 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.559 about drugs, a constant flow of squatters, public nudity, and 276 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.039 fires in the vacant home. Sean Colmes is confirmed he 277 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.480 rejected a last minute plea deal ahead of his sex 278 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.440 trafficking trials that to start next week. Not much as 279 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.720 known about the deal, except that it would have included 280 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.440 a lighter sentence in exchange for a guilty plea. The 281 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.879 rapper and music mogul is facing charges of abusing and 282 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:33.080 coercing women for years. Jury selection is set to start Monday. 283 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.120 To avoid what organizers say would be a logistical nightmare, 284 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.679 the twenty twenty sixth LA Marathon has been rescheduled to 285 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.840 avoid a conflict with the Academy Awards. Both were supposed 286 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.960 to happen on the same day, March fifteenth, next year. 287 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.960 The oscars will still be held on the fifteenth. A 288 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:53.759 new date for the marathon will be announced soon. Let's 289 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:57.000 say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers at the 290 00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:00.320 White House. Karen, you gotta pay attention to keep up 291 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.600 with trump ks. Things down change fast. Just when you 292 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.120 thought Michael Waltz was leaving the administration, it looks like 293 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.919 he will be sticking around, but in a different role. 294 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:11.120 Yeah. 295 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.600 I mean, we were pretty careful yesterday as we reported that, 296 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.320 you know, he was likely leaving his post as National 297 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.480 Security Advisor, not necessarily getting fired from the administration, because 298 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.200 then later in the afternoon, the President announced that he 299 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.799 was moving him out of that position, but nominating him 300 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.480 to serve as US Ambassador to the United Nations. Now 301 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:34.840 important to note that that position needs Senate confirmation, so 302 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:36.960 he'll have to have a hearing up on Capitol Hill, 303 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.120 and you can imagine he is going to get a 304 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:42.480 lot of tough questions, likely from both parties, about the 305 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.960 signal chat that he started, that message chat where they 306 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.559 were talking about sensitive details about military strikes in Yemen, 307 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.840 and when Waltz of course mistakenly inadvertently added a reporter 308 00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.759 to the chat. That will come up, So it is 309 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.679 not necessarily a guarantee that he moved into that new job, 310 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:02.559 but he is out as National Security Advisor, and the 311 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.360 White House is downplaying this as a firing or demotion. 312 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.000 The Vice President said yesterday on Fox that President Trump 313 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.720 has fired a lot of people he doesn't then give 314 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.639 them Senate confirmed appointments afterwards. 315 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.240 Well, and I think that that is a valid point, 316 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.480 because when Trump wants someone gone, they're gone. So he 317 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.159 must still like say, yeah, I mean, we can only 318 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.039 surmise what he's saying, but it sounds like, you know what, 319 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.759 this one's too big to just ignore. So we got 320 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.000 to do something. But I still believe in you, So 321 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.360 let's find another spot for you. 322 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.600 Yeah, I mean, And now it's putting it on Congress 323 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.720 the Senate to approve it. So we'll see how that 324 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.320 moves forward and whether or not Walt wants to go 325 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.480 forward with the Senate confirmation hearing too, because again, it 326 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.320 could be pretty messy and he could get a lot 327 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:53.200 of tough questions. He hasn't really since the signal chat erupted. 328 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:55.759 Reporters have asked him questions and tried to and ask 329 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:59.480 the President questions, but he hasn't really faced the grilling 330 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:03.440 about how that all went down and his handling of 331 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:04.640 sensitive information. 332 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:08.319 Yeah, okay, And as I mentioned, you got to pay 333 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.839 attention to keep up. And it apparently that applies to 334 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.480 people who work very closely with the president too, because 335 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.759 it seems like Trump makes a decision and then the 336 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:19.400 people around him find out about it. 337 00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:20.920 Yeah. 338 00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.359 So Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, is now going 339 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:27.039 to serve as the interim National Security Advisor. He is 340 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.279 the first person to do that simultaneously, those two jobs 341 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.200 since Henry Kissinger did it in the Nixon administration. And yesterday, 342 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.119 when the President posted this on social media, the State 343 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.759 Department briefing was happening, so reporters were interrupting the briefing 344 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.759 and telling Rubo's spokesperson that this was just announced and 345 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.400 it was pretty clear that she had not known this 346 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.680 was coming, and said, well, this is the miracle of 347 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.519 modern technology and social media. She said it was an 348 00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:58.039 exciting moment in the briefing and that Rubio has worn 349 00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.480 several hats from day one. He's adding another hat to 350 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:02.480 his portfolio. 351 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.799 Yeah, okay, And do we know when those confirmation hearings 352 00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:06.279 will happen? 353 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:08.279 No, nothing yet. 354 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.759 Okay, Well we'll keep you posted. ABC's Karen Travers at 355 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:13.680 the White House. Thank you so much. Have a great weekend, 356 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.720 all right you too. The proposed gondola to Dodger Stadium 357 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:21.759 may have hit a snag. Metro approved an environmental impact report, 358 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.119 but a state appeals court just rejected that decision this week, 359 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.440 saying that Metro needs to wait for a revised report 360 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:31.680 to be completed. If the plans ultimately are approved, the 361 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:35.519 project could still run into construction delays because Olympic Baseball 362 00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.200 is going to be played at Dodger Stadium during the 363 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.160 twenty twenty eight Summer Games. LA's proposed budget cuts could 364 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.519 eliminate a program that helps illegal immigrants find work. 365 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.200 Garbassi's proposal includes the closure of the city's Day Laborer Program. 366 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.640 Manager Herado Rubl Kampas says the day Laborer program operates 367 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.200 seven centers around LA to connect immigrants with temporary employment. 368 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.960 These are mainly individuals that do not have right to 369 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.200 work and are often taken advantage of. 370 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.559 The program received more than a million dollars in funding 371 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.519 last year.
