  Speaker 2: a bike e bike and rode into Central Park. But
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: police have surveillance video of him and are hoping to
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: catch him quickly.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish spoke publicly yesterday about what they
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: saw on the video. Let's hear more from Jessica Tish.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Many people pasted the suspect, but he appeared to wait
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: for his intended target. The suspect fled first on foot,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: then on an e bike, and was last seen in
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Central Park. We will not rest until we identify and
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: apprehend the shooter in this case.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: So investigators say, well, go ahead.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Now, I was just gonna say, I don't think they're
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: gonna find that guy, because that guy is not meant
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: to be found. He's that was clearly a targeted hit, right.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, silence, silence.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well, all a motive is not clear. They
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: do believe that Thompson, of course was targeted, as you mentioned. Yeah,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: like you said, there was a silencer on the gun.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: In fact, he even cleared the gun. So the police
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: are and investigators are saying, this guy is actually a professional,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: so he knows what he's doing. N YPD Chief of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Detectives Joe Kenney says three shellcasings, three live rounds, and
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: a cell phone were found at the scene. The words UH, denied, defend,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and depose were reportedly etched in the shell case scens
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: discovered by detectives on the scene. I believe Lauren reached
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: out to law enforcement. Yes, deny, I defend, depose. So
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the bullet, well, we're not saying that he wrote it. Whatever,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: we're saying is that detectives have discovered or reportedly discovered
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: that shellcasings at the scene had those deny, defend and
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: deposed words etched into them. So let's hear more from
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: NYPD Chief Detective Joe Kenney on what they found on
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the scene and in the video.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: This does not appear to be a random act of violence.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: We're sinking information from the public to help it dentify
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: the shooter. We're working through that cell phone. Obviously, we'll
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: be processing it forensically, and as far as words being exchanged,
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: we do not have audio of the incident. We only
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: have the regular video. He ignores numerous other pedestrians, approaches
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: the victim from behind and shoots him in the back.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: The shooter then walks toward the victim and continues to shoot.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: It appears that the gun malfunctions as he clears the
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: jam and begins to fire.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Very slow on now so so so the shelle casing said, denied,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: defend the polls and just like the news report said,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I read the gun jams and he kept shooting.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, he.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Was able to clear the jam and keep shooting.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, so he shot four times, four times? Right, I
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: heard the man got hit.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so, Kenny says. The video showed, of course
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that the mask suspect was dressed in dark clothed and
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: a distinctive gray backpack, so of course you know they're
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: looking for him, of the and of course the victim,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: fifty year old Thompson, he was shot multiple times and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: later pronounced dead at a hospital. He was in town
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: for an investor conference and a ten thousand dollars reward
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: is already being offered to find the suspect and look
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: for you know, in terms of helping find the suspect,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: very very.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Scary if you look at that man. Man absolutely, if
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you look at the video, there was a woman standing
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: right next to the guy that got shot where you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: if he missed, he she could have got hit. But
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you could tell it was a target a hit because
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: he didn't. He was he had one one intention and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: he was out the.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: Way he walked down. He wasn't going to miss like
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: he he saw the woman and it was a person
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: in the car. You saw that that there was a
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: black chock on. They were like about to pull out
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: and then they stopped.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the fact that he took off on a
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: on a on a city bike.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They said it wasn't a city bike. They said it
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: was an e bike. They said if it was a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: city bike, they would be able to follow where it went.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But they said it was an e bike, not a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: city bike.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Like I said earlier, I don't I don't think
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: they're gonna find that guy, because that guy meant to
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: be found.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: I reached out this morning just to check if they
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: had any leads or anything like that, and nothing that
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: they would give me.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: What did the fourth couch shell case? How many showcas
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: you find? You said they found three?
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: Three?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, because because I thought I read that he
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: got the what was the name Brian Thompson got hitting
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: the chest for a time, That's what I thought I read.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that would have been I was go ahead,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: I thought it was a leg shot shot and one
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: other shot.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Two in the back and one of the leg I
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: thought they said and the bullets said that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I didn't hear that part that I defended.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That came out this morning.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: ABC is reporting. I think New York Poch reported it too,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: but I couldn't confirm that either.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I pose, so you know that should I
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know give detectives. I guess some
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: lead in terms of, you know, maybe a motive.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And that's very scary, like you said, because it was
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: six forty five during rush hour, people like the city's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: packed it at six forty five, seven o'clock, so very scary.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And what I'm hearing too is that that meeting actually continued.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: That meeting went on that you know, those other members
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: of that board could pretty much not to say, stepped
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: over him, but they that meeting continued.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: I think they didn't know, though, because in one of
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: the articles I read for the New York Posts, they
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: basically said that during the meeting, people started getting alerts
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: and they were like freaking out, and one guy had
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: to stop and say, okay, guys, we're dealing with a
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: medical emergency. And people stopped to call their families. I
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: think they found out in real time as we did.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Well question, how could they find that in real time?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: They still had to walk in the building, they see
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: all of the police cars did, but they didn't know.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: I not have known who it was, because at first
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: we got the report that someone was shot. It wasn't
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: until like thirty forty five minutes later here in the building.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: I got an alert from CBSPOS.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: That said who it was. It was one of the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: dudes in a truck that fell out the truck that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: they thought he got shot, because that was the first thing.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: They sent, the picture of a garbage truck, like one
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of those loading trucks, and they said somebody got shot.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: So that was the first report, and then it came
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: out later that it was somebody else. So they probably,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: like you said, they probably found out in real time.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I know one thing, what's the point of watching that
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: video too? Like I got you're not a detective, Like
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I have no reason to want to see that video.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I kept seeing that video pop up. I'm like, why
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: would I watch this?
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: All right? Well, people are watching it to see if
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: they can identify them or if there's any clue that
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: they can see what it was. That's how people identify
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: people watching that and they.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Sick and we love violence as a society.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: I watched it because I just needed to know as
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: a reporter, and I ain't trying to identify nobody.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: All right, Well that is front page news. I know
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we went over time, Morgan, sorry about that, No.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: No worries, but we'll talk more at seven am, about

  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning Envy, Charlemagne, Lauren, Hey, y'all, Okay,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: so yeah, let's get into it president elect Trump, while
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: he is asking to have his criminal election interference case
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: in Georgia thrown out. Trump's two federal cases have already
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: been tossed, and he's attempting to do the same with
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: his hush money case in New York. The president elect
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: is accused of attempting to overturn the twenty twenty election
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: results in Georgia, and a court filing, lawyer Steve Sadow
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: said the case should be thrown out before Trump is
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: inaugurated in January. Meanwhile, the President elect is scheduled to
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: sit down for his first network interview in BC's Meet
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the Press that will happen on Sunday. The network says

• 8:02
  Speaker 2: be taped on Friday and then air Sunday morning. Clips
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: of the interview will be released prior to the show.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Welker interviewed Trump for NBC News in September of twenty
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: twenty three, which ended up being his only network sit
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: down during the twenty four presidential campaign. How In other
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: political news, President elect Trump's embattled pick for Defense Secretary
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: was on Capitol Hill yesterday. Pete Hegseth. He met with
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: senators who will decide whether or not to confirm him.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Let's hear Hegseth make his plea.
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: Make sure that we're putting the war fighters first. That's
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: what Donald Trump asked me to do. Your job is
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: to bring a war fighting ethos back to the pentagonal.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: Your job is to make sure that it's lethality.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Lethality, lethality.
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: Everything else is gone. Everything else that distracts from that
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: shouldn't be happening. That's the message I'm hearing from senators
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: in that advising content process. It's been a wonderful process.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Now, despite a report that he could re placed, as
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: you mentioned yesterday, Charlemagne by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Hegseth
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: said he is not withdrawing his name from consideration. He
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: is embroiled in multiple misconduct allegations, and The Washington Post
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: reports that Hegseth will in fact visit Trump today at
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: his mar Largo estate in Florida, so we will keep
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: you posted on that. This comes as Congressional Republicans are
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: setting their sites on President Biden's head of Citizenship and
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Immigration Services, blaming her for the surge of the legal
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: immigrants over the past four years. He says, excuse me.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: California Congressman Tom mcclintick says the agency has bent the
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: rules to allow as many people into the country as possible.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Let's hear more from California Congressman Tom mcclintick.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: For the first day of Biden's presidency, USCIS adopted policies
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: that transformed temporary programs into de facto permanent residency programs.
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: For example, temporary status for victims of a hurricane in
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: Honduras that occurred twenty years ago. This is illegal chain
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: my grain on steroids, all made possible by an agency
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: willing to contort and ignore the law.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: So he went on to say that nearly eight million
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: immigrants illegal immigrants rather have been allowed to stay in
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the country while they await a hearing, and that has
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: overwhelmed social service agencies and hospitals. Director er Jadeo shot
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: back at the hearing, saying her agency acted with integrity
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: and migrants have fueled the economy instead of actually, you know,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: taken from it any thoughts on that.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: In the next say, everybody needs to enjoy the holiday season.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Everybody needs to enjoy the holiday season, enjoy these enjoyed
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: these last little bits of normalcy that we have before before.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: You ain't never you ain't never lied. Let me tell
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: you it's crazy because it seems like California is not
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: going to is going to go ahead and skip that
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: whole enjoyment of the holiday and they're getting down to
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: business because California Attorney General. The last story came out
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: of California. This story is also out of California. California
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Attorney Attorney General Rob Bonta. He's telling state institutions and
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: their staff not to participate in anticipated deportations in under
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: the upcoming Trump administration. But also saying that they must
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: comply with the law. He went on to say his
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: office provided a print guidance about what is expected. Let's
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: hear more from California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: In response to the incoming Trump administration's threats of mass deportations.
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: I want to affirm that California's immigrant community has a
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: support of my office and they're families by outlining steps
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: they can take to ensure they are not using state
• 11:32
  Speaker 9: or local resources to support immigration enforcement.
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: He spoke at a public library in San Francisco, saying
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the law prohibits using state funds, resources, or employees at
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: state and local institutions to aid in immigration enforcement activities.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: So all that round up, all that mass deportation it
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: has to be done on a federal level, is essentially
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: what's happening in California now. President elect Trump has warned that,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: of course, the crackdown on illegal immigration, including mass deportations,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: is coming, So get ready.
