  Speaker 1: the day's biggest stories. Stay with me. President Trump wants
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: visitors to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: think twice before they walk inside. The President has signed
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: an executive order directing the National Park Service to place
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: temporary warning signs outside the museum. Those signs will tell
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: visitors the exhibits contain inaccurate information and encourage them to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: read a White House report released on July fourth, Trump
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: argues the Smithsonian no longer represents American history as a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: shared story. Instead, he says it focuses too much on
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: social justice and portrays America too negatively on true social
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Trump wrote, the museum spends too much time talking about
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: how horrible the country is in slavery. This is the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: second time Trump has targeted the museum. Back in March,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: signed another executive order directing Vice President j. D. Vance
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to work with Congress to cut funding for exhibits the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: administration says undermine American values. That order specifically mentioned the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: National Museum of African American History and Culture. The Congressional
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Black Caucus called the effort an attempt to rewrite history,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: saying black history is American history. The Smithsonian decline to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: comment on the latest order. The museum system includes about
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: two dozen museums that attract roughly seventeen million visitors every year,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and there's a new development in the Nolan Xavier Wells investigation,
• 2:42

• 2:45
  Speaker 1: made on July fourth, after the boat connected to Nolan's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: disappearance began having trouble on the water. The original recording
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: released by Mississippi officials was difficult to hear, so Janetta Brantley,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: founder of Audio Done Wright, enhanced the recording using traditional
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: audio tools. Brentley says she was trying to isolate the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: voices in the background when she heard something that shook her.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: She later released part of the enhanced audio and encouraged
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: people to compare it with the original recording and decide
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: for themselves what they hear.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: And so I'm gonna let the audio play. Read my
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: transcription if you want a reference, but don't allow it
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to determine what you hear. I want you to listen first,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: listen again, compare it with the original recording, and then
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: judge it with your own ears.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Hey, we're the West tip of Born and our goage
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: stocked work and we're going We're thinking, can y'all please?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Can we ever?
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: I never should look the fuck up David Ford.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Of The recording has since spread across social media and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: has been discussed by several outlets, including Nancy Grace. So far,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: investigators have not commented on the en Hands audio or
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: whether it changes anything in the case. And finally, a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles judge has ruled that singer David whose real
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: name is David Burke, will stand trial and the killing
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of fourteen year old Celeste Rivus Hernandez. The judge ruled
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: prosecutors presented enough evidence to move forward with the case.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Burke now faces charges of murder, continuous sexual abuse of
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a child under the age of fourteen, an unlawful mutilization
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of human remains. He has pled not guilty and remains
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: jailed without bail. Prosecutors say Celeste disappeared after Burke sent
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: an uber to pick her up at his Hollywood home
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: on April twenty third, twenty twenty. Investigators say her last
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: text read girlypop, I'm almost there. Open your door if
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you're home. Her phone went silent after that. Prosecutors alleged
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Burke stabbed Celeste after she threatened to expose their relationship,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: fearing it would destroy his rising music career. During the hearing,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: prosecutors present at DNA evidence. They say Link's blood found
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: in Burke's garage to Celeste They also introduced records showing
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Burke purchased chainsaws and other items after her disappearance. Her
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: dismembered remains were later found inside a Tesla registered to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Burke after the vehicle was impounded. Prosecutors also alleged Burke
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: met Celeste when she was eleven years old and began
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: sexually abusing her when she was thirteen.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: It followed the timeline of the interactions between Celeste Reves
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Fernandez when she started as a twelve year old, then
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: a thirteen year old, then a fourteen year old who
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: never got to see her fifteenth birthday because in the
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: intervening time where she had these interactions with mister Burke,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: he engaged in this sexual conduct with a.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Thirteen year old repeatedly, over and over again.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: This came out in text messages that we're presented in
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: videos and photographs that were presented to the judge that
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: showed the sexual activity.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hutchman says prosecutors are
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: still deciding whether to seek the death penalty, meaning Burke
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: is eligible for capital punishment if they ultimately pursue it
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and he's convicted.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: The one additional consideration is that mister Burke now is
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: eligible for death penalty. The death penalty. The considerations are
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: now being waged. Part of that consideration will be any
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: submission that the defense wants to submit to the District
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Attorney's office. It is something that we will consider on
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: whether or not we will seek the death penalty.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: The defense argues there is no evidence Burke intended to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: kill Celeste. Burke is scheduled to be arraigned on August
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: thirty first. As with all criminal defendants, he is presumed
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: innocent until proven guilty. That's your front page. I Mimi Brown.
