We'll be talking to Gary at the 30 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.439 bottom of the hour. Protesters are being kept away from 31 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.040 the United Center, but they're causing problems around the perimeter. 32 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.040 ABC's Jim Ryan is also in Chicago. We're going to 33 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.840 talk to him at five twenty and as the Democrats 34 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.760 gather to celebrate the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris 35 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.719 for president, former President Trump is criss crossing the country. 36 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.079 He'll we'll check in with ABC's Stephen Portnoy about that 37 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.439 in just a couple of minutes. Two eighteen year olds 38 00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.199 have been charged with murder and other accounts in the 39 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:16.319 shooting death a former General Hospital actor. Johnny Wackter, the 40 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.159 one who allegedly fired the shot that killed Wacktor in 41 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.599 downtown la is also facing a special circumstance allegation that 42 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.599 could land him in jail for the rest of his life. 43 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.800 Two other men arrested are facing lesser charges. US intelligence 44 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:33.199 officials say they are confident Iran was responsible for the 45 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.280 hack of Donald Trump's presidential campaign. It's the first time 46 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.400 the FBI and other agencies have assigned blame for the attack. 47 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.960 Officials say Iran is also behind attempts to hack Vice 48 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:48.560 President Harris's presidential campaign. Coming up before the top of 49 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.520 the hour, Joel Larsgard, he's the host of How to 50 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.599 Money right here on KFI, is going to share a 51 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.759 rather alarming trend that more people are investing more in 52 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.680 sports betting and lessen. Therefore, one case doesn't surprise me, 53 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.280 but I can see where that's just a little bit alarming. 54 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.120 Of course, the first night of the Democratic National Convention 55 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.120 at six oh five, it's handle on the news. You 56 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:11.680 can't com bet. Bill's going to have a lot to 57 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.360 say about that. Let's get started with some of the 58 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:21.879 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 59 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.759 That's the crowd saying thank you, Joe as President, Biden 60 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.080 was given a minutes long ovation as he walked on 61 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.360 to stage at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. During 62 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.080 his address last night, Biden talked up unions and the 63 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.280 creation of clean energy jobs. 64 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.560 Tighten hundreds of thousands of jobs and clean energy for 65 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.719 American workers, including to the IBW installing five hundred thousand, 66 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.800 five hundred thousand Chardon stations all across Americay. 67 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.639 Biden says he has five months left on the job 68 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.360 as president and he plans to finish what he started. 69 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.039 La Mayor Bass used her time at the convention to 70 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.319 talk about Vice President Harris's meant to young people. 71 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.520 Being willing to fight fiercely for. 72 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:11.000 Every child, and trust me, Kamala has done that her 73 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:12.159 entire life. 74 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.759 Best commended Harris for her record of helping foster youth 75 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.600 and reforming the juvenile justice system. Long Beach has started 76 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.160 clearing out homeless camps in parks around the city. 77 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.040 CRU's completely cleared out gun by her park and immediately 78 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.079 put up a chain link fence to keep the homeless 79 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.399 from going back. This woman who was kicked out of 80 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.680 the park says she's been there for three months and 81 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:32.639 has nowhere to go. 82 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.160 I'm okay with it because I shouldn't have been there 83 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.199 in the first place. But peel hopeful. I guess maybe 84 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.839 that's what we need, you know, to happen. 85 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.120 Governor Gavin yusubmissioned an executive order in July for homeless 86 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.399 camps to be cleared out on state property, and has 87 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.279 threatened to withhold funding if cities don't follow suit. 88 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.759 Chris Adler KFI News. 89 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.600 Let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen portnoy So Stephen, 90 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.600 as the Democrats gather in Chicago. Former President Trump has 91 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.720 been a his week campaigning in swing states. 92 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.079 What's his message so far? 93 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.519 Well, his message is one you've heard before. I mean, 94 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:11.920 the idea is that Kamala Harris would wreck the economy. Yesterday, 95 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.319 he was in York, Pennsylvania, called his opponent comrade Kamala 96 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.759 says that she cares more about putting him in prison 97 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.399 than putting murderers and robbers in prison. He said that 98 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:27.360 her father was a Marxist professor, and was he I'm 99 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.480 not positioned to answer that question. I can only tell 100 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.399 you what Trump is saying. What I can say is 101 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:37.920 that Trump today will appear in Detroit, Michigan. He's going 102 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.240 to be tomorrow in North Carolina, and then Thursday and 103 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.920 Friday he's going to be in Arizona. And the whole 104 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.800 idea here is that he's counterprogramming in swing states where 105 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:51.480 local television and radio will cover his remarks and offer 106 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:58.800 additional arguments ahead of the Democrats taking the stage in 107 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.480 Chicago yesterday. 108 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.240 The part of the speech that I watched wherever he 109 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:09.360 was yesterday, he seemed more subdued than he does at 110 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.879 a lot of his rallies, but still managed to get 111 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:16.480 those digs in. Is that part of the plan now? 112 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:17.040 Well? 113 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:18.680 I mean, if it may be the fact that he 114 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:22.279 was speaking to a smaller audience these Yesterday's event, and 115 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:23.560 I don't know if all of them will be staged 116 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.480 the same way, but yesterday's event was inside a manufacturing facility, 117 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.639 and so it was a relatively small crowd of people 118 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.279 who could fit inside that space. And it was not 119 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.560 the kind of large scale rallies where tens of thousands 120 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.959 of people show up or waiting online all day to 121 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.600 be there and all this This was more of an 122 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.439 intimate retail stop, akin to the kind of stops that 123 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.319 Donald Trump did when he was president. I remember criss 124 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:50.399 crossing the country covering Trump as he would appear inside, 125 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.480 you know, plants and other kinds of manufacturing facilities and 126 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.639 speak to smaller crowds. And so maybe that's why he 127 00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.959 appeared to be a bit more understated than when he 128 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.439 is speaking before a crowd of tens of thousands of people. 129 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.600 Okay, and is it normal, Steven, I can't remember. Is 130 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.759 it normal to be out campaigning during the opposition parties convention? 131 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.199 And to the extent that anything is conal or normal anymore? 132 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.680 I know, right, I mean, I remember back in twenty twelve. 133 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.720 This is probably the last time that you had a 134 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.839 dynamic similar to this in a normal year, because in 135 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.600 twenty sixteen it was a wide open race and it 136 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.480 was Trump and Trump broke convention. I don't remember exactly 137 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.800 what he did while Hillary Clinton was having his hurt 138 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:37.279 convention in twenty two thousand and eight, sorry, twenty sixteen. 139 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:38.879 It was a very late lest. 140 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.639 Time and gets mixed in together right right. 141 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.439 The bottom line is I remember in twenty twelve being 142 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.000 with Mitt Romney in New Hampshire where he had nothing going. 143 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.079 I stayed at a country a little bed and breakfast 144 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.120 near Dartmouth, and we had nothing to do all week 145 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.120 because Mitt Romney had a down week. Well, I will 146 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.160 say this, Joe Biden, during the Republic convention, traveled to 147 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.120 Las Vegas in Vakey State and spoke before the NDAACP 148 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:10.439 convention and then got COVID and probably would have had 149 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:14.000 other events planned for the week, counterprogramming the RNC, but 150 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:15.480 for the fact that he had to race back to 151 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:19.040 the White House to or I guess it was Rehobeth Beach, Delaware, 152 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.600 wherever he went. He had no more events because he 153 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.959 was recovering. So I think that Trump is, you know, 154 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.680 the old days of going down and allowing the other 155 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:31.720 party to have their week uninterrupted. Those days are over plus. 156 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.000 I mean, look, look what a compressed timetable this is. 157 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.080 There's not a lot of time for Trump to now 158 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.480 make a new argument against a new candidate, and so 159 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:40.360 he's doing that now. 160 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.360 Yeah, he said he'd spent like over one hundred million 161 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.960 dollars in his campaign against Biden, and then now it's 162 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.399 switched and they have to regroup and start over. So 163 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.240 we'll be watching as they do it. Steven Portnoy, thanks 164 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:51.440 as always for the information. 165 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:52.080 Appreciate it. 166 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:52.799 You're bet all right. 167 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.519 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 168 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.840 of the CAFI twenty four hour newsroom.

On Monday, the 257 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.840 opening day of the Democratic National Convention, several thousand people 258 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:58.000 pro Palestinian demonstrators gathered in Union Park. They had music, 259 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:02.360 they had chanting and speeches, and then made their way 260 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.480 toward the United Center, the site of the DNC. This 261 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.879 ally was permitted, the city had issue a permit. The 262 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.919 police were involved in this, in the planning and the 263 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.440 execution of the protest. In the march, it was peaceful. 264 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.360 There was a small group about four protesters who splintered 265 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.399 off and made their way toward the United Center. Finished 266 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.559 to get through a perimeter fence an outer perimeter fence 267 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.840 before they were taken into custody. The police didn't use 268 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.159 tear gas or batons anything like that, but they just 269 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.440 did arrest these four people. Put the fence back up 270 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.600 and went on their way, So that one minor, a 271 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.080 little tick from thousands of people who were there at. 272 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.240 Union Park, the group was larger than four, though from 273 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.679 what I was watching on video, it's just that they 274 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:50.080 arrested those four. 275 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.320 I think they were about a dozen involved. Initially six 276 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:57.000 moved maybe taken into custody, and then four eventually who 277 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:57.840 were going to be charged. 278 00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.559 Yeah, the police chief said, I don't know what they 279 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:01.399 were thinking they were going to do when they got through. 280 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:05.120 If they've got this wall of police on the inside. 281 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:06.360 Yeah. Absolutely. 282 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.440 And you know, I think like anything else, like the 283 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.399 convention itself, it's an attempt to draw attention, right, That's 284 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.919 why the convention is held and in primetime television viewing 285 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.000 and the speeches, the prime the important speeches are given 286 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.799 during that period, and demonstrators also are looking for attention, 287 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.159 and doing something like breaching the outer fence knowing that 288 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:28.559 they're not going to get into the building is a 289 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:29.200 way to do that. 290 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:29.919 Yeah. 291 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.200 And so for the most part, they're so far, protesters 292 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.120 are playing nice. Are they expected to have the same 293 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.039 amount of protesters throughout the week or was yesterday sort 294 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:42.039 of the big hurrah? 295 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.679 Well, you know, they've been talk of something like thirty 296 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:49.279 thousand protests, not at all, somewhere between a few thousand 297 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:54.200 and a lot, right, So this evening there is another 298 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:58.240 protest that's been talked about. It is not permitted. It's 299 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.120 going to be outside the Israeli Consolate, is what we're told. 300 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:07.559 And organization with the ominous slogan make it great like 301 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.320 sixty eight is talking about its protests there and the 302 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.600 group called Behind Enemy Lines is planning that protest. 303 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:15.399 That's a nice name. 304 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:17.440 Yeah, that's going to be something to watch. 305 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.080 Clearly a reference back to nineteen sixty at the Democratic 306 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:22.559 National Convention that turned violent here in Chicago. 307 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.159 Why did the sixty eight convention turn violent? 308 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.840 It was about the any war protests. 309 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:30.399 Because that was Vietnam at the time, right. 310 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:35.000 Sure, exactly, And it was the conversation inside, it was 311 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.639 a conversation outside protests and demonstrations people did actually get 312 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.559 into the building in nineteen sixty eight. This year it's 313 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:47.360 more about American involvement in the Israel and Hamas conflict 314 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:51.720 in Gaza, right, So you know that's why there there 315 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.399 is even a specter of possible violence and large scale demonstrations. 316 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:57.600 You know, I covered the nineteen ninety six convention here 317 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.200 in Chicago, the Democratic National Convention. There was no big 318 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:06.720 demonstration or presence of protesters, and it was peaceful and 319 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:07.319 ended fine. 320 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:08.799 This year it's different, okay. 321 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:09.920 And we've heard that. 322 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.480 Some pro Israel demonstrators had applied for permits to protest, 323 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:16.680 but they didn't get them. 324 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:22.039 Well, there were pro Israel protesters yesterday at the pro 325 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.880 Palatine demonstration. A group of about a dozen people with 326 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.680 Israeli flags marched into Union Park. They were you know, 327 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.920 kind of escorted by police and by these volunteer quote 328 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.759 peacekeepers who are walking around amid these crowds to make 329 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:40.480 sure that people are you know, separated. They can yell 330 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.079 at each other, do what they want, but they have 331 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:43.759 to keep it peaceful and not get physical. 332 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:45.960 Then it didn't get physical at the park yesterday. 333 00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:49.200 So yeah, that mean even without a permit, people are 334 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:50.640 still expressing their views. 335 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:51.039 Okay. 336 00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:53.640 And then Jim, because you're there, do you are you 337 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.920 outside the whole time? Are you inside too? 338 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.839 I think my assignment is outside. 339 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:02.599 Okay, So then what is the what's the feeling, what's 340 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:05.160 the vibe or does it feel like a tinder box 341 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:06.519 that's waiting to blow up. 342 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:07.680 Does it feel more chill? 343 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:13.359 Yeah, you know it's Sunday. Downtown was pretty chill yesterday. 344 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:16.920 Maybe a little more tension. I suppose some of the 345 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.559 folks had these smoke grenades that they were waving around, 346 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:21.400 you know, they pulled them, they would light them and 347 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:24.559 wave around. That kind of adds a little tension, I 348 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.920 think in itself. So you know, we'll just have to see. 349 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.039 We've got three more days of this, and certainly the 350 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:33.079 police are hoping that it does stay peaceful, more like 351 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:35.160 nineteen ninety six than nineteen sixty eight. 352 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:36.839 Yeah.

That's amazing. 360 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:55.880 And I would think that, you know that with cooler temperatures, 361 00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.599 maybe cooler heads will prevail. 362 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:00.400 I think people get testy when it gets hot and 363 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:01.559 see whenny. 364 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:01.880 Yeah, they do. 365 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.279 I think you're right, or at least it seems that way. 366 00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:08.160 I think that's only anecdotal. That crime goes up and 367 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.759 heat waves and you know that sort of thing. But no, 368 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.839 it's the weather.
