<v Speaker 3>The agency's new force is expected to launch by twenty

30

00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.840

00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited.

38
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Ahead on wake Up Call, five oh five Catholic Cardinals

39
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 3>have begun this sacred process of selecting a new pope

40
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 3>after the death of Pope Francis on April twenty first.

41
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 3>Black Smoke rose from the sixteen Chapel on Wednesday, signaling

42
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 3>there's been no decision yet. We'll check in with ABC's

<v Speaker 3>library Columbia University will have all the details on what

60
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.479
<v Speaker 3>happened next. Let's get started with some of the stories

61
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 3>coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Police

62
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.439
<v Speaker 3>in Santa Anna say they're looking for two students they

63
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 3>believe were involved in a stabbing at a school in

64
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 3>where a fourteen year old boy was killed. Three students

65
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 3>were stabbed during a fine and classes were let out

66
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 3>at Sant Annea High School yesterday. Officer Natalie Garcia says

67
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 3>they've been checking videos of the attack posted on social media.

68
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 4>Our investiators are still trying to assess the situation, interview victims, witnesses,

69
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:31.479
<v Speaker 4>maybe gather some surveillance.

70
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.879
<v Speaker 3>Regarding the incidents, pollice say it's very likely it's gang related.

71
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 3>The CEO of Mattel says that one hundred and forty

72
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 3>five percent tariffs on China will likely affect the cost

73
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 3>of toys here in the US.

74
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 5>CEO Inan Christ tells CNBC the toymaker is looking to

75
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 5>reduce its reliance on Chinese manufacturing and look to other sources,

76
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 5>but that may not be enough in the short term.

77
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 6>Where unnecessary, we would be taking a pricing action in.

78
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 5>The US, Christ says Mattel currently sourcesrouts from a combination

79
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 5>of owned factories and third party vendors in seven other countries.

80
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 5>He says China represents less than twenty percent of US imports,

81
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 5>and that's expected to be reduced to fifteen percent by

82
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 5>next year and less than ten percent by twenty twenty seven.

<v Speaker 5>Tammy trihellok f I News.

84
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 3>The search for a new pope is officially underway at

85
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 3>the Vatican. Cardinals are now in seclusion as the world

86
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 3>watches for that white smoke and a historic decision. ABC's

87
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 3>Brian Clark joins us with the latest on what's happening

88
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 3>behind closed doors. Brian, did I say you were in

89
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 3>Rome earlier?

90
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 2>Did you hear me say that.

91
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.639
<v Speaker 7>I didn't hear you say, Okay, I did, gotcha. I

92
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 7>wish I just think you're free.

93
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>You have free flights of Rome, is what I just did. Well,

94
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 2>good morning. Can you walk us through what's happening right

95
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 2>now inside the conclave?

96
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 8>So right now it is a very important part of

97
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.480
<v Speaker 8>the day, and it is all of the cardinals having lunch.

98
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 8>They're on their break between the two sessions. There's a

99
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 8>morning session and an afternoon session. They took two votes

100
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 8>in the morning session they did not agree or did

101
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 8>not elect a pope, so they burn the ballots from

102
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 8>those two votes with the black smoke. And there were

103
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 8>not as many people as we saw yesterday in Saint

104
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 8>Peter's Square, but there were a few thousand and they

105
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.160
<v Speaker 8>reacted the excitement of seeing the smoke, but then kind

106
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 8>of the disappointment of realizing it was not turning white

107
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 8>and that there's no pope yet. So what they're going

108
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.199
<v Speaker 8>to do now. They'll come back in a little less

109
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 8>than two hours and they'll hold two more votes in

110
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 8>the conclave session. If the first vote produce as a pope,

111
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.920
<v Speaker 8>they'll burn the white smoke right away to let the

112
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 8>world know that there is a pope, and then we'll

113
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.360
<v Speaker 8>all wait about an hour until we see this new

114
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 8>pope emerge and we learn who it is and we

115
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.399
<v Speaker 8>learn what his name is going to be.

116
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 7>But we've got another session this afternoon to come.

117
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 3>All right, So we saw the black smoke yesterday, So

118
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 3>what does that tell us about how that first round

119
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 3>of voting went.

120
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 7>It tells us that it kind of went as expected.

121
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 8>We don't know anything about who got how many votes,

122
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.240
<v Speaker 8>how close do they come to becoming pope, and then

123
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 8>as the play out, who's gaining momentum, who's losing momentum.

124
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:05.639
<v Speaker 7>All of this is secrets, so we don't know.

125
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 8>There are dribs and drabs that come out largely in

126
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 8>Italian media, but a lot of that is just you know,

127
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 8>how credible is that? We don't know because everybody has

128
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.000
<v Speaker 8>taken this oath of secrecy. What we do know is

129
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 8>that there are more cardinals voting this year one hundred

130
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 8>and thirty three than there were in twenty thirteen, the

131
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 8>last time there was a conclave, So it's going to

132
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 8>take longer. You need two thirds, so you need eighty

133
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 8>nine votes to be to select a pope. So we're

134
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 8>on the road to eighty nine for somebody, but we

135
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.279
<v Speaker 8>don't know who, and that's what the waiting part is

136
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 8>right now. Now, what we do know about that process

137
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 8>that yesterday it was the black smoke, and same with

138
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 8>this morning. Twelve years ago the conclave that led to

139
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.759
<v Speaker 8>Pope Francis. He was chosen on the fifth ballot, and

140
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.560
<v Speaker 8>that's what's coming up this afternoon. Twenty years ago, the

141
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 8>conclave that Ledipope Benedict, he was on the fourth ballot,

142
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.079
<v Speaker 8>also coming up later today. So we are certainly heading

143
00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.920
<v Speaker 8>into the window that could result in the pope.

144
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 3>So how are cardinals like typically influenced in their voting

145
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.319
<v Speaker 3>decision process, because I imagine that it's a little bit like

146
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, running for a school president, where people are

147
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 3>kind of going around and saying vote for me, vote

148
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.319
<v Speaker 3>for me, vote for me. But it's not really like

149
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 3>that isn't.

150
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 8>No, it's not, it's it's looked down upon to openly campaign.

151
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 7>Yes, exactly.

152
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 8>So I think there are ways that they make it

153
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.399
<v Speaker 8>known that what they would do if they were elected,

154
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 8>some of the favorite some of the front runners. And

155
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.879
<v Speaker 8>what's going to be the question and what could determine

156
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 8>the pope is what do the car What does the

157
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.399
<v Speaker 8>College of Cardinals want in the next pope. Do they

158
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 8>want to pope from Italy, which we haven't had in

159
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 8>almost fifty years. Do they want to pope maybe from

160
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 8>Asia or Africa for the first time. Do they want

161
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 8>one from the United States for the first time ever?

162
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.480
<v Speaker 8>Is it going to be an older pope because that

163
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 8>would certainly dictate how long the next papacy will be.

164
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.160
<v Speaker 8>So all of those things factor in, and then where

165
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.079
<v Speaker 8>do they want to go after Pope Francis? Do they

166
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.319
<v Speaker 8>want to pope that is going to get can you

167
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 8>the path he set the church on? Do they want

168
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 8>a pope that's going to do things differently? So those

169
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 8>are all of the factors that go into play as

170
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 8>far as politicking goes while, like we said, it's not

171
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.279
<v Speaker 8>done openly. This is some of the sessions before the

172
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 8>actual conclave began, when the cardinals all gathered in Rome.

173
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 8>That's where those messages are given about what their vision

174
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:23.319
<v Speaker 8>for the church would be.

175
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.199
<v Speaker 3>Any actual names of those front runners being mentioned that

176
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, people are kind of keeping an eye on.

177
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.240
<v Speaker 8>Well, the name that everybody likes just because it's a

178
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker 8>fun name to say is Cardinal Pizza Bala from Italy

179
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:44.720
<v Speaker 8>because it's Pizza Balaz exactly. So we don't know, you know,

180
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:49.000
<v Speaker 8>there's cardinals from the Philippines, there's cardinals from a few

181
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.679
<v Speaker 8>from Italy with Parolin as well from Italy. But we

182
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.320
<v Speaker 8>also do know is that the pope will change, will

183
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.120
<v Speaker 8>select his name as pope, and that will be interesting

184
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.799
<v Speaker 8>what name does he select.

185
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 7>So all of these.

186
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 8>Things are things we're going to learn, hopefully today, but

187
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.080
<v Speaker 8>certainly over the next few days.

188
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think you are right.

189
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 3>I think sometime maybe today, if not tomorrow, we might

190
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 3>see that white smoke coming out, because I think I

191
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.320
<v Speaker 3>saw that the average days that it takes for them

192
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.919
<v Speaker 3>to select the pope is maybe around two or three days.

193
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 2>So we're on day two now and we I know

194
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:25.799
<v Speaker 2>the world is watching.

195
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.919
<v Speaker 3>So Brian, thank you so much for your time and

196
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 3>enjoy your Pope watch today.

197
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:31.039
<v Speaker 7>Thank you.

198
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.440

221
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Speaker 3>Attorney General Rob Bonta says the loss of funding hurts California.

222
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.279

223

00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.799
<v Speaker 3>allegations that have led to his suspension are not true.

228
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.080
<v Speaker 3>He and two other officials have been suspended over alleged

229
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:19.519

275

<v Speaker 2>A federal judge has ruled.

276
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.679
<v Speaker 3>That deporting non citizens to Libya or Saudi Arabia without

277
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.799
<v Speaker 3>due process would violate an existing court order. This comes

278
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.840
<v Speaker 3>after reports that Trump administration was preparing such removals using

279
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.919

280
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Peter harr Lamboos, who's been following this developing.

281
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Storty, good morning, Good morning, Thanks for having me.

282
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.159
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's talk about what exactly did the judge

283
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.200
<v Speaker 3>rule and how does it impact the administration's reported deportation plans.

284
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 11>So this federal judges at Boston came to the conclusion

285
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.200
<v Speaker 11>that any of these proposed deportation plans, this idea of

286
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 11>taking a bunch of people who aren't actually from Libya

287
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 11>who are detained in the United States and immigration proceedings

288
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.840
<v Speaker 11>and flying them to that country. It's kind of like

289
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 11>similar to how the United States outsourced detention to El Salvador,

290
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.639
<v Speaker 11>would violate his court order because those people didn't have

291
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 11>enough time to actually raise concerns about their safety of

292
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.879
<v Speaker 11>being moved to that country. Now, this order came even

293
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.039
<v Speaker 11>before we got any kind of confirmation that the United

294
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.360
<v Speaker 11>States was carrying out this plan. Sources close to the

295
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.080
<v Speaker 11>matter told ABC that the White House has been considering

296
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.519
<v Speaker 11>this idea of sending migrants to Libya as early as

297
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:53.159
<v Speaker 11>this week. But we don't even know if this order

298
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:55.639
<v Speaker 11>actually he is going to apply to something, or or

299
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:58.039
<v Speaker 11>if this plan was actually going to be taken. A

300
00:14:58.039 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 11>lot of this was made on an assumption that these

301
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.600
<v Speaker 11>flights could already be ongoing, that this might be needed

302
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:06.039
<v Speaker 11>on an emergency basis. So we'll learn more about that

303
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.440
<v Speaker 11>over the coming week, But for now, this federal judge

304
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:10.320
<v Speaker 11>is pumping the brakes on the idea that the Trump

305
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:13.600
<v Speaker 11>administration can send a bunch of migrants to war torn Libya.

306
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.759
<v Speaker 3>So what prompted this motion from the migrants legal team.

307
00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:20.840
<v Speaker 11>It was a little bit of news report and it

308
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.720
<v Speaker 11>was a little bit of first hand accounts from their clients.

309
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.360
<v Speaker 11>It was a little bit of speculation. They cited media

310
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:29.000
<v Speaker 11>reports from the New York Times and from Reuters. They

311
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:32.480
<v Speaker 11>cited that some of their clients were apparently receiving notice

312
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 11>suggesting they might be sent to Libya, And there was

313
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.360
<v Speaker 11>also a concern that there might actually already have been

314
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:40.799
<v Speaker 11>an aircraft in the air flying from Texas to Libya.

315
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.200
<v Speaker 11>There was flight radar information that's publicly available showing a

316
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.720
<v Speaker 11>flight moving that could have been one of these flights,

317
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 11>and all that kind of led to this panic that

318
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:50.639
<v Speaker 11>perhaps already one of these flights was already in the

319
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:53.919
<v Speaker 11>air and emergency relief was necessary. The federal judge in

320
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:57.200
<v Speaker 11>Boston didn't inquire if the flight actually contained migrants, but

321
00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:58.840
<v Speaker 11>he kind of just put it on the record if

322
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:00.960
<v Speaker 11>that flight did contain, my mind, migrants, that would be

323
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.000
<v Speaker 11>a violation of a court order and that it could

324
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.120
<v Speaker 11>lead to a sticky situation for the Trump administration.

325
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:09.159
<v Speaker 3>So has the Trump administration or immigration officials responded to

326
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:10.200
<v Speaker 3>the ruling so far.

327
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:14.759
<v Speaker 11>At this point, we've heard some criticism from top officials

328
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.039
<v Speaker 11>in the White House calling it's basically a judicial coup.

329
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 11>But when asked about this idea of something migrants to Libya,

330
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.720
<v Speaker 11>pretty much everyone in the federal government was pretty tight

331
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:24.919
<v Speaker 11>lift about it. The President declined to comment when asked

332
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.279
<v Speaker 11>about in the Oval Office, the Department of homeod Security

333
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.440
<v Speaker 11>Secretary declined to comment on the matter. Depentagon declined to

334
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.440
<v Speaker 11>comment on the matter. It seems like to the extended

335
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.720
<v Speaker 11>of this policy was close to being enacted. It was

336
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:37.080
<v Speaker 11>a very close hold.

337
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Are Libya and Saudi Arabia considered particularly dangerous destinations for deportation?

338
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.519
<v Speaker 11>Well, if we just focus on Libya for a second, yes,

339
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:49.080
<v Speaker 11>I mean that Libya is a country that the State

340
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:51.200
<v Speaker 11>Department says you should not travel to, is its rust

341
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:53.799
<v Speaker 11>and a country that's kind of been in turmoil since

342
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.240
<v Speaker 11>twenty eleven with the fallible Markadafi. At this point, we're

343
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.159
<v Speaker 11>talking about a country that has two different governments at

344
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:01.919
<v Speaker 11>this point, there's one base out of Tripoli. There's one

345
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.680
<v Speaker 11>base out of Benghazi that's basically run by a warlord.

346
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.440
<v Speaker 11>For what it's worth, both of these governments distanced themselves

347
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 11>from this plan and said that they wouldn't be housing

348
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:10.039
<v Speaker 11>a us to porgies.

349
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.000
<v Speaker 12>But at the end of the day, it would be a.

350
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.920
<v Speaker 11>Kind of shocking proposal to send migrants to Libya. If anything,

351
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.799
<v Speaker 11>into deterrent this idea that if you're in the country illegally,

352
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:20.960
<v Speaker 11>that you could get picked up one day and then

353
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.559
<v Speaker 11>very quickly send to a country like Libya wouldout any

354
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.079
<v Speaker 11>contact with your lawyers or your family. That's a pretty

355
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:28.079
<v Speaker 11>scary concept and could have a deterrent effect.

356
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.440
<v Speaker 3>And this is you know something I think a lot

357
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.640
<v Speaker 3>of people want to know. Is this gonna this ruling

358
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.359
<v Speaker 3>set a broader legal precedent for future immigration enforcement?

359
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:40.599
<v Speaker 12>I mean, for now, it does. I think it pumps

360
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:42.599
<v Speaker 12>the break on this idea of sending any kind of

361
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:45.519
<v Speaker 12>nonsense into a country that isn't the actual home country.

362
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:50.720
<v Speaker 12>It's this original lawsuit in Boston began accident party people

363
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 12>to l selvid Or. That was really the impetus of

364
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.480
<v Speaker 12>all this. But this judge in Boston is now indicated

365
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:58.839
<v Speaker 12>that he's ruling a plant kind of across the board.

366
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:03.160
<v Speaker 12>You want to send them silent for you, Olivia, Pa

367
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:08.319
<v Speaker 12>How lets you take friends about their stasty? You know

368
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:13.039
<v Speaker 12>the law allows for that, but we said to this country,

369
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:14.759
<v Speaker 12>you should have enough time to be able to say, hey,

370
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:21.240
<v Speaker 12>I might get persecuted here, or history here, or rise

371
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:22.079
<v Speaker 12>judges following.

372
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.079
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Peter, thank you so much for your time, very insightful,

373
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.920
<v Speaker 3>and hopefully we will we'll continue to follow up on

374
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:31.319
<v Speaker 3>this story as it develops.

375
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:33.799
<v Speaker 12>Thanks much for having me.

376
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Thank you all right, Let's get back to some of

377
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:38.200
<v Speaker 3>the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

378
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:42.039
<v Speaker 3>A bipartisan group of California lawmakers has urged congressional action

379
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.279
<v Speaker 3>to protect the head Start program from federal budget cuts.

380
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.640

381
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 4>concern overcuts that could eliminate the program. Head Start receives

382
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.240
<v Speaker 4>one and a half billion dollars annually in California, supporting

383

<v Speaker 7>What is it all about?

<v Speaker 14>Fan Fast Nights is the ultimate immersive fan experience, and

441
00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.720

<v Speaker 14>middle of these iconic worlds and allows them to explore

444

<v Speaker 14>it and also celebrate one another through community activations as

445
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 14>well as overall engagement throughout the event.

446
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Is it one fandom per night or are they all

447
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:14.880
<v Speaker 3>in the same night.

448
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:16.960
<v Speaker 14>One of the best parts about FanFest Nights is that

449
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.400

<v Speaker 14>to take it all in, soak it all up and

452
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.519
<v Speaker 14>enjoy all the experiences every single night of the event.

453
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:29.839
<v Speaker 3>So right now, where are we and what experience are

454
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:31.039
<v Speaker 3>we getting a sneak preview of?

455
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.279
<v Speaker 14>So right now we're getting a sneak peak of Star

456
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.640
<v Speaker 14>Trek Red Alert, which is one of our immersive walkthrough attractions.

457
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.880
<v Speaker 14>And this one is fun because it's a story based

458
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:42.000
<v Speaker 14>pulse attraction, meaning that we're able to really dive into

459
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:44.599
<v Speaker 14>the iconic environments like the Shuttle Bay where we are now,

460
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:47.799
<v Speaker 14>the Sick Bay Engineer Rooms, ultimately leading to the bridge

461
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:50.599
<v Speaker 14>of the Enterprise d And by being a story based

462
00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.880
<v Speaker 14>pulse attraction, we're able to really take in the characters,

463
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:56.000
<v Speaker 14>be able to develop the story, and be able to

464
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:58.759
<v Speaker 14>experience these environments in a way that we haven't allowed

465
00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:01.480
<v Speaker 14>our guests to as much previously. As part of seasonal

466
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:03.359
<v Speaker 14>events here at Universal Students Hollywood, some.

467
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Of these areas have been described as in world experiences.

468
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:06.680
<v Speaker 3>What does that mean?

469
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:10.079
<v Speaker 14>So an in world experience to us here at FanFest

470
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.920
<v Speaker 14>Nights is the ultimate immersive experience meeting that we're really

471
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.599
<v Speaker 14>able to bring our guests and, as mentioned, drop them

472
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.240
<v Speaker 14>into the middle of the action, whether it be here

473
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.599
<v Speaker 14>at Star Trek at our other event activations as well,

474
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.000
<v Speaker 14>really being able to allow them to experience these brands,

475
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:28.680
<v Speaker 14>experience these franchises, experience these genres in an exciting way.

476
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:31.799
<v Speaker 3>Now, tell me why did Universal want to do something

477
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:33.319
<v Speaker 3>like this? Like, you guys didn't have to add all

478
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:35.519
<v Speaker 3>this extra work for yourselves.

479
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Why did you guys want to do this.

480
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:39.319
<v Speaker 14>The fans certainly wanted to experience more, and we wanted

481
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:41.200
<v Speaker 14>to certainly give them more. So that was at the

482
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:44.160
<v Speaker 14>core of fan Fest Nights, and we had two foundational

483
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:47.680
<v Speaker 14>goals as part of developing this event, fan first and authentic.

484
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:49.920
<v Speaker 14>Fan first, meeting that we wanted to service the fans

485
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:53.240
<v Speaker 14>who have such fandom for these genres, and authentic in

486
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:57.119
<v Speaker 14>delivering a uniquely universal perspective to these brands in a

487
00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 14>way that we can bring them to life, building on

488
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:01.960
<v Speaker 14>some of the legacy of events like Halloween, Hortnits and

489
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:04.400
<v Speaker 14>other things that we've done here at Universal Studios, Hollywood.

490
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.799
<v Speaker 3>Now, how can you make sure that this is something

491
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:09.680
<v Speaker 3>the fans are going to like? What kind of research

492
00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:12.640
<v Speaker 3>you do? Are you talking to fans? Are you saying like, hey,

493
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:14.559
<v Speaker 3>what do you guys want to see? What goes into

494
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.480
<v Speaker 3>the decision making for the properties that you picked for this.

495
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:20.519
<v Speaker 14>We did a lot of research in developing the lineup

496
00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:23.119
<v Speaker 14>and the content for this first year of fan Fast Nights,

497
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:25.559
<v Speaker 14>and we're really excited about the mix of the different

498
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:28.880
<v Speaker 14>genres of sci fi, fantasy, gaming, and anime and speaking

499
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.839
<v Speaker 14>about the fans and the authenticity, specifically with Star Trek

500
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:34.559
<v Speaker 14>Reht Alert. We were really excited to partner with Paramounts

501
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:37.200
<v Speaker 14>and the Star Trek franchise team to bring this experience

502
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.319
<v Speaker 14>to life. They were collaborators and creative partners of ours

503
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:43.039
<v Speaker 14>from the very beginning and developing the concept all the

504
00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:44.160
<v Speaker 14>way through final execution.

505
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Aside from ticket sales, What is going to be the

506
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.480
<v Speaker 3>biggest indicator for you that this.

507
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:50.279
<v Speaker 15>Was a success.

508
00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:53.319
<v Speaker 14>One of the most amazing things about developing these style

509
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.160
<v Speaker 14>of events is being able to stand in these attractions, standards,

510
00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:59.319
<v Speaker 14>experiences and just watch the reaction, watch the reaction of

511
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.400
<v Speaker 14>guests coming out them, engaging with them, and also with

512
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:05.359
<v Speaker 14>fan Fest nights, celebrating one another through areas like our

513
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:08.240
<v Speaker 14>block party, where we're celebrating the fans and the fandoms

514
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:12.559
<v Speaker 14>through cosplay, celebrations, trivia contests, really being able to soak

515
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:14.640
<v Speaker 14>up the energy of the event each and every night.

516
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Now you mentioned cosplay, can people dress up?

517
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.960
<v Speaker 14>Costplay is one of the foundational aspects of fan Fest nights,

518
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:23.039
<v Speaker 14>So being able to celebrate the fans and celebrate their

519
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.079
<v Speaker 14>affinity for these genres through cosplay as well as just

520
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:29.279
<v Speaker 14>the community aspect of being together throughout.

<v Speaker 2>It was a blast.

528
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:46.759
<v Speaker 3>I went with my family and we loved all of

529
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:51.079
<v Speaker 3>the walkthrough experiences. We enjoyed Star Trek. I'm not a

530
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:53.119
<v Speaker 3>big Dungeons and Dragons fan, but I know a lot

531
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.000
<v Speaker 3>of people are. But honestly, it's just a fun time

532
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:58.039
<v Speaker 3>being in the park at night. Will have you ever

533
00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:59.720
<v Speaker 3>been to Universal Studios Hollywood?

534
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:01.359
<v Speaker 7>Not for like twenty years?

535
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, twenty years. It's spent a little it's

536
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:05.960
<v Speaker 2>been a minute. Oh wow.

537
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:08.559
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, and we were just talking about Will and

538
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:10.079
<v Speaker 3>I were just talking about how much we both love

539
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Star Trek.

540
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so this is your sign to go.

541
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, this is a go and check out because they

00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.720
<v Speaker 3>have recreated the bridge from the Enterprise and it's just

543
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:21.559
<v Speaker 3>such a cool thing. So definitely check that out. All right,

544
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.400
<v Speaker 3>now it's time to get up in your business.

545
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:25.160
<v Speaker 2>We have Courtney.

546
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yay, I did it. I was like, I'm going

547
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:29.720
<v Speaker 3>to say it today. Get and Amy's gonna kill me

548
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:31.319
<v Speaker 3>and be like, what have you done to with my

549
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:32.960
<v Speaker 3>with my Bloomberg segment?

550
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:35.519
<v Speaker 2>You want to get up all in my business, Get

551
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:39.119
<v Speaker 2>up all in the business. Good morning, Courtney, Good morning.

552
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:41.279
<v Speaker 16>All right, we have a lot going on here today.

553
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:43.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so it looks like a lot of high schoolers

554
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:47.039
<v Speaker 3>are being offered jobs that top seventy thousand dollars.

555
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:48.559
<v Speaker 2>What and how can I get one?

556
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:49.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

557
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:53.000
<v Speaker 16>That is a huge because there's a shortage of skill

558
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:55.319
<v Speaker 16>trades workers. I know a lot of times when I'm

559
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 16>trying to call for a plumber, there's a huge wait.

560
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:01.920
<v Speaker 16>But companies have been increasingly reaching out to high schoolers

561
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:05.920
<v Speaker 16>who are studying welding, electrical work, and also plumbing. Businesses

562
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:09.559
<v Speaker 16>are looking as baby boomers retire, plus they need workers

563
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:12.759
<v Speaker 16>who are more comfortable with some of the emerging technologies

564
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:15.440
<v Speaker 16>that go along with these professions. According to The Wall

565
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:17.880
<v Speaker 16>Street Journal, some high schoolers are being offered jobs that

566
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:20.720
<v Speaker 16>pay as much as seventy thousand dollars and in five

567
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:24.079
<v Speaker 16>years some are making six figures. But the demand for

568
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:26.599
<v Speaker 16>all these workers has even led to a resurgence of

569
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.279
<v Speaker 16>shop classes in some school districts around the country.

570
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, Okay, well, I think that's great.

571
00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I think it's important for kids to learn a skill

572
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:36.240
<v Speaker 3>like that, and I also think.

573
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:40.440
<v Speaker 16>It's great to give people and children an alternative as

574
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:42.799
<v Speaker 16>opposed to saying, all right, well you have to go

575
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:47.079
<v Speaker 16>to college. There's so many different jobs that are lucrative

576
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:50.119
<v Speaker 16>that can support a family. You just don't always have

577
00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:52.519
<v Speaker 16>to look in what some people say are the traditional

578
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:55.400
<v Speaker 16>way to move forwards. So it's great to look in

579
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:58.759
<v Speaker 16>these different sorts of ways, like in these trades.

580
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:01.240
<v Speaker 2>You know what's funny. This is a little side note here.

581
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:04.160
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm convinced our phones are listening to us,

582
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:06.720
<v Speaker 3>because all of a sudden, in the past few days,

583
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:10.839
<v Speaker 3>the Bloomberg TikTok channel has been showing up on my phone.

584
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's never happened before. We'll see, and now.

585
00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:18.960
<v Speaker 16>Everybody should go to the Bloomberg TikTok channel. There you go.

586
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:21.799
<v Speaker 2>It's great, Bloomberg. We've got a lot.

587
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:24.680
<v Speaker 16>Of great business news, so definitely head over our way

588
00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:26.400
<v Speaker 16>and see some of the stuff that we have in

589
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:27.559
<v Speaker 16>some of our great reporting.

590
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:29.960
<v Speaker 3>All right, speaking of that, let's talk about Ford. They're

591
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:32.960
<v Speaker 3>raising the price for a number of their models.

592
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:33.920
<v Speaker 2>So this is funny.

593
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:37.720
<v Speaker 16>Last week Ford CEO Jim Farley said the Automaker they

594
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:39.920
<v Speaker 16>were going to hold off on hiking prices until they

595
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:43.880
<v Speaker 16>see how rivals react to tariffs. So that ended quite quickly.

596
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:46.839
<v Speaker 16>Ford said yesterday that they're going to boost prices on

597
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:49.079
<v Speaker 16>models and builds in Mexico by as much as two

598
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.119
<v Speaker 16>thousand dollars. So we're talking the Maverick Small pick up,

599
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.200
<v Speaker 16>the Bronco Sport, and the electric Mustang Mokei. So Ford says, yes,

600
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.559
<v Speaker 16>we are raising prices on these models. It's a combination

601
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:03.359
<v Speaker 16>of they say, of these typical midyear pricing adjustments, but

602
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:06.519
<v Speaker 16>also the impact of tariffs. But keep in mind, vehicles

603
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:09.519
<v Speaker 16>are currently an inventory will not be affected. So I

604
00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:12.279
<v Speaker 16>think what they're saying is, hey, get in here and

605
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.160
<v Speaker 16>start buying stuff now because the prices are going to

606
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:16.000
<v Speaker 16>be going up later.

607
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and this is some sad news.

608
00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Krispy Kreme is pausing the expansion of its partnership with McDonald's.

609
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

610
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:24.559
<v Speaker 16>Well, the two companies were planning a nationwide rollout of

611
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:27.279
<v Speaker 16>Krispy Creme donuts by the end of next year. I

612
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:31.799
<v Speaker 16>know it's saying my local McDonald's is my son loves McDonald's,

613
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:34.799
<v Speaker 16>but McDonald's was hoping to bring in more diners for

614
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:38.160
<v Speaker 16>breakfast and also get more snackers to come in throughout

615
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.039
<v Speaker 16>the day by offering the sugar retreats. So the companies

616
00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:43.720
<v Speaker 16>rolled out the donuts in more than two thousand locations.

617
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:46.480
<v Speaker 16>But here's the problem. They notice that demands start to

618
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:50.079
<v Speaker 16>drop off after the initial launch. So Krispy Kreme says,

619
00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:52.960
<v Speaker 16>this hiatus is going to allow both sides, both them

620
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:55.880
<v Speaker 16>and McDonald's to refine their marketing and keep people coming

621
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:56.960
<v Speaker 16>back for more donuts.

622
00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, I do like a good donut every now

623
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:00.599
<v Speaker 2>and then.

624
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:05.960
<v Speaker 16>Love, I'm a dunking sort of girl, so.

625
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, okay, well all right, So the FED wrapped

626
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:11.839
<v Speaker 3>up its policy meeting yesterday. Looks like the Central Bank

627
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 3>is on hold when it comes to rates.

628
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:14.960
<v Speaker 2>What is that about?

629
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.440
<v Speaker 16>Yes, so, feder Reserve chair j Pal says he's in

630
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:20.160
<v Speaker 16>no hurry to adjust interest rates.

631
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:21.039
<v Speaker 2>He's going to keep it.

632
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:24.319
<v Speaker 16>He's going to keep it the same. Unsurprisingly, yesterday the

633
00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:27.640
<v Speaker 16>Central Bank voted unanimously to keep the benchmark rate in

634
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:29.480
<v Speaker 16>a range of four and a quarter to four and

635
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.640
<v Speaker 16>a half percent, where it's been since December. So the

636
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:35.200
<v Speaker 16>trade policies that we've been seeing from President Trump that's

637
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:37.960
<v Speaker 16>unleashed a big wave of uncertainty across the economy. And

638
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:39.960
<v Speaker 16>the President has been coming out there and saying, you

639
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.119
<v Speaker 16>need to cut rates, j Pal, but j Pell says,

640
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:46.359
<v Speaker 16>no way. The Fed says they are comfortable with keeping

641
00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:50.480
<v Speaker 16>rates unchanged, with unemployment still load, demand to still steady

642
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:53.279
<v Speaker 16>until they have a better understanding of where the economy

643
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:55.039
<v Speaker 16>is headed right now, because you look at some of

644
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:58.079
<v Speaker 16>the economic numbers, they're coming in aok So if he

645
00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:00.960
<v Speaker 16>comes in and moves a little bit early to cut rates,

646
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:03.839
<v Speaker 16>that will probably end up being a problem. So yesterday

647
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:05.720
<v Speaker 16>the Dow rose two hundred and eighty five points with

648
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 16>Powell saying the economy is holding up. And this morning

649
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:10.640
<v Speaker 16>we're looking at a rally head on Wall Street because

650
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:13.559
<v Speaker 16>the President says we reached a trade deal with the UK.

651
00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:16.359
<v Speaker 16>Dow futures up one hundred and fifty five points right now.

652
00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, thank you so much.

653
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:20.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to start looking for those seventy thousand dollar

654
00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:22.640
<v Speaker 3>jobs for my future high schooler.

655
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:26.160
<v Speaker 16>Exactly. I'm sending my kids out there too to do that.

656
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:28.599
<v Speaker 2>There you go, Thank you, Corney. We'll talk to you tomorrow.

657
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:29.480
<v Speaker 16>Let's see you later.

658
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:31.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, Let's get back to some of the stories

659
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:33.480
<v Speaker 3>coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The

660
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Golden Globes have announced a new category for next year.

661
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:39.079
<v Speaker 3>Ceremony honoring the best in TV and film will now

662
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:42.799
<v Speaker 3>include an award for Best Podcast. Organizers say they want

663
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:45.440
<v Speaker 3>to honor its heritage categories while making room for new

664
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.160
<v Speaker 3>voices and formats. Twenty five podcasts will qualify, with six

665
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:52.880
<v Speaker 3>making the final list of nominees for the award. Eligibility

666
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.319
<v Speaker 3>requirements will be announced in the coming weeks. Former Lakers

667
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:59.480
<v Speaker 3>star Byron Scott is facing a lawsuit accusing him of

668
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.200
<v Speaker 3>sexualist builting a fifteen year old girl at Campbell Hall

669
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:06.720
<v Speaker 3>School in nineteen eighty seven. The girl alleges the incident

670
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:10.319
<v Speaker 3>occurred in a janitor's closet during a team event. Scott,

671
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:12.559
<v Speaker 3>who was twenty six at the time, denies any wrongdoing,

672
00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:16.319
<v Speaker 3>claiming he believed she was over eighteen. Southern California Edison

673
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:19.839
<v Speaker 3>has dismantled and removed a decade's old transmission tower from

674
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 3>Eaton Canyon for forensic testing. The tower has been inactive

675
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:26.200
<v Speaker 3>for over fifty years and is under investigation on the

676
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:30.960
<v Speaker 3>potential ignite ignition point for January's deadly eaten fire. Investigators

677
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:34.079
<v Speaker 3>aim to determine if the tower's re engineering contributed to

678
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.599
<v Speaker 3>the blaze. And tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated

679
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:41.599
<v Speaker 3>sharply after a terrorist attack in India administered Kashmir killed

680
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:45.759
<v Speaker 3>twenty six tourists, mostly Hindus. India responded with airstrikes on

681
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.240
<v Speaker 3>alleged militant sites in Pakistan. And we're just minutes away

682
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:51.759
<v Speaker 3>from handle on the news this morning. Russia is hosting

683
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:54.359
<v Speaker 3>world leaders for the eightieth anniversary of the defeat of

684
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:56.839
<v Speaker 3>Nazi Germany in World War Two. We're going to tell

685
00:32:56.920 --> 00:32:59.119
<v Speaker 3>you all about their victory day and what it means

686
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:01.359
<v Speaker 3>for the US. Yes, right now, I want to shine

687
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:04.400
<v Speaker 3>a light on some people making a powerful difference after

688
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:08.400
<v Speaker 3>the January wildfires. We're turning up the volume, so to speak,

689
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:11.079
<v Speaker 3>on a story that has hit all the right notes.

690
00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Man, I love a good pun.

691
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:16.160
<v Speaker 3>We're joined by Brandon j the founder of Altadina Musicians

692
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:20.079
<v Speaker 3>and the Instrumental Giving app. It's a grassroots organization that

693
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:23.960
<v Speaker 3>not only amplifies local talent, but is putting real instruments

694
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:26.720
<v Speaker 3>back into the hands of people who lost them during

695
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:30.039
<v Speaker 3>the January wildfires. Brandon, tell me how did this all begin?

696
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:33.599
<v Speaker 15>So my wife and I are music composition names Gwendolyn Sandford,

697
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:37.000
<v Speaker 15>most notably re scored Orange is the New Black, and

698
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:41.200
<v Speaker 15>we lived there dun for thirteen years in our home

699
00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:45.160
<v Speaker 15>and studio burned in the fire. About a week afterwards,

700
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:48.519
<v Speaker 15>we were both playing a show and people came and

701
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:52.000
<v Speaker 15>started bringing us instruments and did a lot of them

702
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.039
<v Speaker 15>were exact names that we lost in the fire, which

703
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:55.960
<v Speaker 15>gave me the idea to like just do that on

704
00:33:56.039 --> 00:33:59.599
<v Speaker 15>a big scale and ask people that had extra instruments

705
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:03.359
<v Speaker 15>to connect with people that lost theirs. And the special

706
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:08.559
<v Speaker 15>thing about instruments are the stories behind them and how

707
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:11.239
<v Speaker 15>they're passed down from generation to generation, or they're used

708
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:15.159
<v Speaker 15>on particular recordings, or someone saved up bought a guitar

709
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:19.079
<v Speaker 15>when they were young, and so I've found it it's

710
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:21.679
<v Speaker 15>really healing in the process for the people that are

711
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 15>donating to meet the musicians that lost stuff. So that's

712
00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:29.639
<v Speaker 15>the legacy of the instrument is carried on with the

713
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:33.079
<v Speaker 15>person getting it, and the person that lost something gets

714
00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:36.519
<v Speaker 15>the story behind what they're getting so they can mourn

715
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:41.079
<v Speaker 15>what they lost, but it's replaced by something that already

716
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:43.639
<v Speaker 15>has a story to it and you can continue that.

717
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:46.480
<v Speaker 2>And what has the response been like from the community.

718
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:50.880
<v Speaker 15>It's extraordinary. The you know, I grew up in Los

719
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:54.079
<v Speaker 15>Angeles and so I've been playing music since I was nine.

720
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:56.800
<v Speaker 15>Both my parents are musicians, so I've been in the

721
00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:59.800
<v Speaker 15>Los Angeles music scene for most of my life. And

722
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.719
<v Speaker 15>incredible tight knit community and far reaching. And the devastation

723
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:08.840
<v Speaker 15>of these particular wildfires is so broad because so many

724
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:13.119
<v Speaker 15>people are affected and all walks of life have you know,

725
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:18.320
<v Speaker 15>it's it's just incredible the connections that people have made

726
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:22.960
<v Speaker 15>with each other in the community when they reach out

727
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:28.760
<v Speaker 15>and like help each other, and it's been it's been incredible.

728
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:31.960
<v Speaker 3>How many instruments have you had donated and then how

729
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:33.519
<v Speaker 3>many have you passed out so far?

730
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.239
<v Speaker 15>It's hard to tell because the numbers are there's like

731
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:43.719
<v Speaker 15>skyrocketing every day, but well over four hundred and bounting

732
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:49.159
<v Speaker 15>we just about a week ago. Mister Holland's Opus Foundation

733
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:54.360
<v Speaker 15>wonderful organization that provides instruments to schools when they need them.

734
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:57.800
<v Speaker 15>They like buy them like new instruments and you know,

735
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:01.559
<v Speaker 15>get them sorted out they took care of like all

736
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:05.480
<v Speaker 15>the schools that were ready for them, because there's about

737
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:09.320
<v Speaker 15>six schools that burned and just in Altadena, and so

738
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:11.599
<v Speaker 15>they were taking care of them. They also did an

739
00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:15.119
<v Speaker 15>instrument drive and were collecting instruments from other people that

740
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:17.719
<v Speaker 15>were supposed to go to fire victims, and they had

741
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:21.400
<v Speaker 15>to give up their extra storage space where everything was,

742
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:25.119
<v Speaker 15>and so we got in contact with them and we

743
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:27.719
<v Speaker 15>said we'll take everything because we have the infrastructure to

744
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:31.639
<v Speaker 15>get it to individuals. So just about three days ago

745
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:34.960
<v Speaker 15>we took we're just cataloging everything to see how much

746
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:37.440
<v Speaker 15>it is because it was so much. It was like

747
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.559
<v Speaker 15>over eighty five guitars and like a whole room full

748
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:43.559
<v Speaker 15>of classical instruments somewhere in the neighborhood of like like

749
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:44.679
<v Speaker 15>six hundred instruments.

750
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:45.119
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

751
00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:48.360
<v Speaker 15>So right now we're like cleaning them with We have

752
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:52.920
<v Speaker 15>about forty volunteers that are just coming people that we

753
00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:56.320
<v Speaker 15>got instruments too, and they're like running over there like

754
00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:00.360
<v Speaker 15>testing out blareets and cleaning things off. And we also

755
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:05.440
<v Speaker 15>connected with Bertrans Music in Pasadena very early on because

756
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:09.760
<v Speaker 15>it's important for people to know that like there's instruments

757
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:12.079
<v Speaker 15>that need servicing if they've been sitting around for a

758
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.320
<v Speaker 15>long time and we don't want to put instruments in

759
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:16.079
<v Speaker 15>people's hands that need work.

760
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I think that's great.

761
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:20.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean it sounds like people are This is something

762
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:22.800
<v Speaker 3>that people are truly passionate about and they really want

763
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:23.039
<v Speaker 3>to help.

764
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:25.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, when it comes to your instruments.

765
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:27.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, my daughter plays the trombone, and I know

766
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:29.639
<v Speaker 3>she loves it and she enjoys it, and it's very

767
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:31.920
<v Speaker 3>special to her because it's the first instrument she really.

768
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Learned how to play.

769
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:36.280
<v Speaker 3>And I know that even in some you know, even

770
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:38.800
<v Speaker 3>if it seems like such a small thing to give

771
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:42.280
<v Speaker 3>someone an instrument to start over, in that way, it

772
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.039
<v Speaker 3>means so much to the person who's playing, because music

773
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:49.039
<v Speaker 3>is therapy and it can be very healing in many ways.

774
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:51.239
<v Speaker 3>So I think it's wonderful what you're doing. Can you

775
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:54.400
<v Speaker 3>tell everybody how they can help? If you still need instruments,

776
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:56.960
<v Speaker 3>are you still taking them? How can people help and

777
00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:58.079
<v Speaker 3>support what you're doing?

778
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:02.000

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:27.440
<v Speaker 3>back to some of the stories coming out of the

788
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:30.760
<v Speaker 3>KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Traffic has slowed at the

789
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:33.519
<v Speaker 3>Port of La and the La City Council has voted

790
00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:36.880
<v Speaker 3>to have a direct report on the situation. Councilman Tim

791
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:40.800
<v Speaker 3>McCusker says, if the president's tariff policy continues, jobs in

792
00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:42.480
<v Speaker 3>the area will be impacted.

793
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:47.519
<v Speaker 17>We have local thirteen longshore persons on the on the

794
00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:51.159
<v Speaker 17>front lines. We have fewer clerks, we have fewer for persons,

795
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:54.239
<v Speaker 17>we have fewer truck drivers, we have fewer mechanics.

796
00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:59.760
<v Speaker 3>McCusker says. Soon there will also be fewer items on shelves.

797
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.760
<v Speaker 3>The port's executive director has been summoned to a council

798
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:05.719
<v Speaker 3>committee meeting to talk more about the impacts of the tariffs.

799
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:08.320
<v Speaker 3>The news is brought to you by Thorson Motor Center.

800
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:12.440
<v Speaker 3>A high pressure system will start cranking up temperatures across

801
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:16.719
<v Speaker 3>much of our area today and continuing into Mother's Day weekend. Basically,

802
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:19.679
<v Speaker 3>it's going to be hot. The National Weather Service says

803
00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:23.159
<v Speaker 3>the heat is expected to peak on Friday and Saturday,

804
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:26.920
<v Speaker 3>when temperatures in the valleys will push about one hundred degrees.

805
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:29.920
<v Speaker 3>So enjoy this cool weather while you can, but they

806
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:33.800
<v Speaker 3>are expected to drop off starting on Sunday. And singer

807
00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:36.880
<v Speaker 3>Avril Levine has stepped in to help a beloved Los

808
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Angeles skates shop to.

809
00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Skate the busy.

810
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:45.440
<v Speaker 7>Dye.

811
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:48.840
<v Speaker 2>It's called Palace Skates.

812
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:51.639
<v Speaker 3>She's going to help them rebuild after it was destroyed

813
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:55.000
<v Speaker 3>by the Palisades Fire. Levine says she was moved by

814
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:57.280
<v Speaker 3>the shop's role in the community for the past twenty

815
00:39:57.280 --> 00:39:59.760
<v Speaker 3>five years and is rallying support to help restore it.

816
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.440
<v Speaker 3>The singer's biggest hit you just heard there was called

817
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:05.119
<v Speaker 3>Skater Boy, so she says she feels a connection to

818
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:08.320
<v Speaker 3>the store. The effort aims to bring back a space

819
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:12.119
<v Speaker 3>cherished by so many local skaters and artists.

820
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

821
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:16.519
