3:12
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. California's attorney general has
3:15

3:33
Speaker 5: meet today with Paramount officials to discuss the settlement, but
3:36

Speaker 5: in bad faith by leaking details of a meeting held Friday.
3:42
Speaker 1: The New York Times reported Paramount was accused of not
3:45
Speaker 1: only leaking the alleged substance of settlement discussions, but of
3:49
Speaker 1: misrepresenting the talks. One person has been killed, another severely burned,

Speaker 1: a third person was hurt, and a home has been
3:57
Speaker 1: destroyed in a house explosion in twenty nine Palms. Three
4:00
Speaker 1: people and a dog were inside at the time of

Speaker 1: the explosion Friday night. Several marines from a nearby base
4:07
Speaker 1: were among the first to respond. After they heard the explosion,
4:10
Speaker 1: They pulled people from the rubble. They were able to
4:13
Speaker 1: save the dog. Governor Newsom assigned the so called Stop
4:17
Speaker 1: Nick Shirley Act. It was included in a list of
4:20
Speaker 1: measures signed over the weekend. Democrats have described AB twenty
4:24
Speaker 1: six twenty four as a way to protect the privacy
4:27
Speaker 1: of immigration support service providers. Critics say it stomps on
4:31
Speaker 1: free speech and freedom of the press. Shirley is an
4:34
Speaker 1: independent journalist who reports or whose reports have uncovered fraud
4:39
Speaker 1: by groups getting taxpayer money. Republicans and others who opposed
4:43
Speaker 1: the new law will be holding a rally in Sacramento
4:45
Speaker 1: this week. Complaints have been filed against a state official
4:49

Speaker 3: Allegedly that's so adult of you.
5:09
Speaker 6: Did you hear about this has a small well?

Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant Day in LA with the eight to twenty
5:41
Speaker 1: four date, representing the numbers that Bryant wore during his
5:44
Speaker 1: twenty season career with the Lakers. I wanted to ask
5:48
Speaker 1: mister Coleschreiber about the concert that you attended last night
5:52
Speaker 1: at the Hollywood Bowl.
5:53
Speaker 7: Well, it was.
5:54
Speaker 4: It was for Venezuela earthquake relief. It was also Gustavo
5:58
Speaker 4: Dudomel's last fight concert with the La Phil completely final.
6:03
Speaker 4: Now he's moving on to New York. Amazing stars, most
6:07
Speaker 4: of whom I'd never heard of from Venezuela. Amazing performances.
6:10
Speaker 4: But then at the very end he says, well, I've
6:13
Speaker 4: got a little I've got a little surprise for you,
6:15
Speaker 4: and sitting there just in the middle of it all
6:18
Speaker 4: starts singing is Chris Martin from a Coldplay And it
6:21
Speaker 4: was amazing, amazing.
6:23
Speaker 1: So you didn't know about Chris Martin. I knew about
6:26
Speaker 1: Chris Martin the head of the show. Yeah, so that
6:29
Speaker 1: I think that's cool. And you know what, the traffic
6:33
Speaker 1: around the Bowl is a pain, But if you haven't
6:37
Speaker 1: been to the Bowl, or if you haven't been lately,
6:40
Speaker 1: it has the most pristine sound and it's such an
6:44
Speaker 1: amazing venue. I mean, just totally everything is worth it
6:48
Speaker 1: because the venue was so spectacular and.
6:50
Speaker 4: You can bring in your food and a bottle of wine,
6:52
Speaker 4: have a little picnic. It's a treasure. It is the
6:55
Speaker 4: La Treasure.
6:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. Okay, now we're ready to talk to you.
7:00
Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan. Good morning, mister Ryan. Hi, Hi there,
7:05
Speaker 1: Happy Monday. So this is a sad way to start
7:09
Speaker 1: the week, but important to get an update. So there's
7:11
Speaker 1: this nineteen year old Carmelo Anthony. He's been convicted of murder.
7:16
Speaker 1: A seventeen year old was killed. He asked for a
7:20
Speaker 1: new trial, and the judge originally said, you know, I'll
7:23
Speaker 1: hear arguments about whether to grant that new trial. So yes,
7:27
Speaker 1: tell us what all happened.
7:29
Speaker 5: Hell, the judge decided there would be no new trial.
7:32
Speaker 5: In other words, Carmelo Anthony is going to stay in jail,
7:35
Speaker 5: stay in prison. He's been sentenced to thirty five years
7:38
Speaker 5: for killing Austin Metcalf had attract me to high school
7:41
Speaker 5: track me last year. Both of them were seventeen at
7:44
Speaker 5: the time. Anthony was tried as an adult, convicted and
7:47
Speaker 5: sentenced to thirty five years. His attorneys asked for a
7:50
Speaker 5: new trial based on lots of things, including comments that
7:54
Speaker 5: the judge in that case made after the trial was over.
7:58
Speaker 5: They also said that there were there were pieces of
8:01
Speaker 5: the story withheld from the jury that that defense team
8:05
Speaker 5: wanted to have heard. So, yes, the judge, a judge,
8:08
Speaker 5: not the same judge who heard the original trial, but
8:10
Speaker 5: a different judge has decided there would be no new trial.
8:13
Speaker 5: That judge, by the way, in the initial trial, Judge
8:16
Speaker 5: John Roach Junior, has been recused from hearing any future
8:20
Speaker 5: proceedings related to this case.
8:22
Speaker 1: The original judge or the judge who just said okay,
8:26
Speaker 1: and what did he say after the trial.
8:29
Speaker 5: He felt, alike the prosecution had done its job. Well,
8:35
Speaker 5: the insinuation there was that he was siding with the prosecution,
8:38
Speaker 5: that he showed a bias in connection with this case.
8:41
Speaker 5: You know, he denied that, but at the same time,
8:45
Speaker 5: that's what the defense was saying. So that was part
8:47
Speaker 5: of the grounds for their demand for a new trial
8:50
Speaker 5: and for the recusal of Judge John Roach Junior. Well,
8:53
Speaker 5: they were successful in winning, you know, the recusal of
8:57
Speaker 5: the judge. They were not successful in getting a new trial.
9:00
Speaker 5: There will be an appeal, though Carmelo Anthony's attorneys already
9:03
Speaker 5: had planned on appealing this case to a higher court,
9:06
Speaker 5: so it won't be held at the same court the
9:09
Speaker 5: same court level, It'll be held at the appeals court level.
9:13
Speaker 1: Okay. And then so to go back. So this kid,
9:16
Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony was he went into a track meet, into
9:24
Speaker 1: the tent where the athletes were right and the argument
9:28
Speaker 1: was that they asked him to leave. He had no
9:31
Speaker 1: business being there in the first place. He wasn't on
9:33
Speaker 1: the team or anything like that, and they asked him
9:35
Speaker 1: to leave. They say they asked him to leave like
9:37
Speaker 1: ten times. And then when Austin Metcalf somehow laid hands
9:42
Speaker 1: on him whatever that was, then that's when Carmelo Anthony
9:46
Speaker 1: stabbed him to death.
9:48
Speaker 5: Correct. Yeah, that's kind of the long and short of
9:50
Speaker 5: the whole confrontation that led to the Austin Metcalf's death.
9:54
Speaker 5: I think Carmelo Anthony's arrest the one component that was
9:59
Speaker 5: thrown into this during trial. Carmel Anthony is black. The
10:02
Speaker 5: suspect here, the defendant that the victim here, Austin Metcalf,
10:06
Speaker 5: was white, and so there was that racial component, which
10:09
Speaker 5: led to a lot of protests outside the courthouse. Claims
10:12
Speaker 5: that Carmel Anthony's claims of self defense went unheard. And
10:18
Speaker 5: you know, on the other side, Austin Metcalf's supporters were
10:21
Speaker 5: outside the courthouse as well, saying that he was the
10:24
Speaker 5: victim of a crime regardless of the race of the
10:26
Speaker 5: person who did it. So yeah, I suspect that's going
10:29
Speaker 5: to follow this case right up to the appeals court level.
10:31
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll be watching it. It's such just sad all
10:34
Speaker 1: the way around.
10:36
Speaker 5: It is both sides agree that. You know, there's a
10:38
Speaker 5: tragedy for the kid who died in tragedy for the
10:41
Speaker 5: kid now who's in prison.
10:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, for most of his life. So okay, ABC's Jim Ryan,
10:46
Speaker 1: thanks so much for the information. We appreciate it as always. Yeah,
10:49
Speaker 1: let's get back to some of the stories coming out
10:50
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Iran is moving
10:53
Speaker 1: closer to charging some ships for passage related services in
10:57
Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormones. A parliament Entry Commission has approved
11:01
Speaker 1: part of a proposed law that would impose fees on
11:05
Speaker 1: ships from countries permitted to use the strait. Iran says
11:10
Speaker 1: the charges would cover services including maritime safety, environmental protection,
11:14
Speaker 1: insurance and fueling. The measure still has to move through
11:18
Speaker 1: Iran's legislative process. The Trump administration will soon outline what
11:23
Speaker 1: it is expected to be a new strategy to put
11:25
Speaker 1: more economic pressure on Iran. ABC's Olivia Rubins says President
11:30
Speaker 1: Trump has threatened economic d day.
11:32
Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett says the US will impose the
11:36
Speaker 2: toughest sanctions in history, a move, he says, when combined
11:40
Speaker 2: with the naval blockade, will be enough to collapse the regime,
11:44
Speaker 2: and they're calling on every country to join in here.
11:47
Speaker 1: Iran has warned that countries supporting new US economic measures
11:51
Speaker 1: against Tehran would be committing what it calls an act
11:55
Speaker 1: of war. Iran's currency has hit a record low as
11:58
Speaker 1: the US gets ready to announce the new saying they
12:00
Speaker 1: would add further pressure on an economy already battered by
12:04
Speaker 1: previous sanctions and the US Navy blockade of Iranian ships
12:07
Speaker 1: and ports in the Strait of Hormuz. The real real
12:12
Speaker 1: dropped to two point zero two million to the US
12:15
Speaker 1: dollar as trading opened on informal currency markets. Today, Iron's
12:19
Speaker 1: official central bank rate stood at around one point five
12:23
Speaker 1: million real to the dollar. The informal rate is what
12:26
Speaker 1: most Iranians pay. Closing arguments are expected to begin in
12:30
Speaker 1: Massachusetts and the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, who's charged
12:34
Speaker 1: with killing her three young children in twenty twenty three.
12:37
Speaker 1: Her lawyers argue she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at
12:41
Speaker 1: the time of the killings. Legal analyst BERNARDA. Vialona says
12:46
Speaker 1: the prosecution has timing on its side because when her
12:49
Speaker 1: husband had left the house to go to the CBS
12:52
Speaker 1: and to pick up the food, there was about fifty
12:54
Speaker 1: four minutes where Lindsay was inside of that home. She
12:58
Speaker 1: also says the defense has strong evidence because there's a
13:01
Speaker 1: documented history of Lindsey Clancy trying to get mental health help.
13:09
Speaker 1: Mental health help. Texas Governor Greg Abbott says AI data
13:13
Speaker 1: centers need to do more to win over communities where
13:16
Speaker 1: they want to build. Abbot says the rapid expansion has
13:19
Speaker 1: fueled concerns about electricity costs, water use, and projects being
13:23
Speaker 1: built near neighborhoods.
13:24
Speaker 8: They had not been working in collaboration with the state,
13:27
Speaker 8: They've not been working in collaboration with local governments, and
13:30
Speaker 8: so they basically dug their own grave for the problem
13:33
Speaker 8: that's been calls for them, and that's why they got
13:35
Speaker 8: the backlash they deserve.
13:36
Speaker 1: Texas has paused new projects while the state reviews whether
13:39
Speaker 1: data centers are meeting new requirements, including providing their own power.
13:43
Speaker 1: President Trump, who's a strong supporter of data centers, calls
13:47
Speaker 1: the move a mistake, and the Justice Department is throwing
13:49
Speaker 1: at support behind Elon Musk's XAI and its legal fight
13:54
Speaker 1: against a Minnesota law banning AI tools that can digitally
13:57
Speaker 1: remove a person's clothing. The DOJ has filed a statement
14:01
Speaker 1: arguing the law goes beyond federal restrictions and warning that
14:05
Speaker 1: differing state regulations could slow AI development. Minnesota says the
14:11
Speaker 1: law is needed to combat non consensual, sexually explicit deep fakes.
14:16
Speaker 1: A federal judge is considering x i AI's request to
14:21
Speaker 1: block the law while its lawsuit moves forward. Hey, the
14:24
Speaker 1: Dodgers swept the Pirates with a four to nothing win
14:27
Speaker 1: yesterday at Dodgers Stadium. Oh my gosh, I can't even
14:29
Speaker 1: imagine sitting in those stands when it's one hundred degrees.
14:32
Speaker 1: We were there Friday night. It was a fun, one
14:35
Speaker 1: beautiful night at Cheves Ravine, your official home for Dodger
14:38
Speaker 1: Baseball is AM five to seventy LA Sports tomorrow afternoon.
14:42
Speaker 1: You're back to back world champion Dodgers take on the
14:45
Speaker 1: Braves in Atlanta. First pitch goes out just after four.
14:48
Speaker 1: Listen on AM five to seventy LA Sports and stream
14:50
Speaker 1: it on the iHeartRadio app live from the gallpin Ford
14:53
Speaker 1: Broadcast booth. Sheriff's investigators are looking for two masked men
14:58
Speaker 1: who robbed two seven to eleven at gunpoint in Rosemead
15:02
Speaker 1: within about thirty minutes of each other early this morning.
15:04
Speaker 1: The first happened at the seven eleven on Garvey Avenue
15:07
Speaker 1: just after midnight. The next happened just before twelve thirty
15:10
Speaker 1: at the seven eleven on San Gabriel Boulevard. They got
15:13
Speaker 1: away with a cash tray from a register and at
15:15
Speaker 1: least one of the robberies. A man's been arrested for
15:18
Speaker 1: allegedly kidnapping his ex girlfriend from a home in Santa Clarita,
15:22
Speaker 1: then leading deputies on a short car chase with her
15:25
Speaker 1: in the vehicle. The woman was able to call police
15:28
Speaker 1: late Saturday night to report that her ex was assaulting her.
15:31
Speaker 1: She called again, still in the car, a short time later.
15:34
Speaker 1: Sheriff's deputies were able to catch up with the vehicle
15:36
Speaker 1: and arrested the man. The woman has minor injuries. Actress
15:40
Speaker 1: Shelley Fabraids has died. Her career spanned five decades, including
15:45
Speaker 1: iconic roles as the Coach's wife on Coach Loved That
15:49
Speaker 1: Show and The Daughter and The Donna Reed Show. She
15:51
Speaker 1: also starred in three films with Elvis Presley during her lifetime.
15:55
Speaker 1: She died Saturday in Los Angeles, surrounded by loved ones,
15:58
Speaker 1: including her husband mashe star Mike Farrell. Shelley Fabrice was
16:03
Speaker 1: eighty two. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Shannon Kingston. So, Shannon,
16:09
Speaker 1: Canada and the US seemed to have a trade deal,
16:12
Speaker 1: but that fell apart Friday night.
16:15
Speaker 9: That's right, in the eleventh hour. It was a stunning
16:17
Speaker 9: turn of events because President Trump said multiple times that
16:20
Speaker 9: he expected a deal was in the offering, but it
16:22
Speaker 9: was not to be. Both sides walked away from the table.
16:25
Speaker 9: So now we are seeing the US and post fifty
16:27
Speaker 9: percent tariffs on some twenty billion dollars worth of Canadian goods,
16:31
Speaker 9: and Canada is promising to follow suit with their own
16:35
Speaker 9: set of retaliatory penalties starting on September eighth.
16:40
Speaker 1: Okay, so what kinds of goods are going to be
16:43
Speaker 1: affected here?
16:45
Speaker 9: Well, from the US side, we really are seeing a
16:47
Speaker 9: wide swath that critics say is seemingly organized at random.
16:51
Speaker 9: We're seeing plywood impacted, hockey sticks, tongue depressors, some agricultural goods,
16:57
Speaker 9: Christmas ornaments, some liquor imports US name, So there really
17:01
Speaker 9: is just a random kind of grab bag here. And
17:04
Speaker 9: on the Canadian side, officials there have not come out
17:08
Speaker 9: and stipulated exactly what is going to be affected, but
17:11
Speaker 9: they have hinted that they're going to have to protect
17:14
Speaker 9: some key industries. So we're looking at agriculture, dairy appliances,
17:20
Speaker 9: certain kinds of equipment, paper, electronics. So really ended the day,
17:24
Speaker 9: this is.
17:24
Speaker 1: Sweeping, okay, And Shannon, is it I mean there's a
17:28
Speaker 1: lot of things on the list. Is it everything that
17:30
Speaker 1: we trade with them? Or is it like this one
17:33
Speaker 1: but not that one, on this one but not that one.
17:36
Speaker 9: Well, the trade relationship between the countries is worth hundreds
17:40
Speaker 9: of billions of dollars. So this specific round of tariffs
17:43
Speaker 9: from the US, these import taxes are expected to hit
17:46
Speaker 9: about five percent of what Canada ships to the US
17:49
Speaker 9: every year. You know, on the Canadian side, we're not
17:52
Speaker 9: quite sure yet because they're still coming out with their policies.
17:55
Speaker 9: But the thing to keep in mind is that this
17:57
Speaker 9: is far from the only set of tariffs that are
18:00
Speaker 9: in effect right now. We're already seeing their ben tariffs
18:03
Speaker 9: on a Canadian steel, other key imports here really both
18:06
Speaker 9: sides of the border. So the fear is at the
18:09
Speaker 9: end of the day, this is just going to wind
18:11
Speaker 9: up coming out in the form of higher price tags
18:15
Speaker 9: that consumers are paying, contributing to the affordability crisis.
18:19
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, then. Also expected to happen today is
18:23
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary Scott Besson is supposed to hold a press
18:28
Speaker 1: conference to tell us what economic d Day for a
18:32
Speaker 1: realm actually means.
18:34
Speaker 9: That's right, because the President came out with that threat
18:37
Speaker 9: last week, but he did not sipulate any new economic
18:40
Speaker 9: penalties for Iran, so we're expecting to hear at least
18:43
Speaker 9: what the first steps might be there later today. We
18:47
Speaker 9: know Iran is suffering. They're under a lot of economic pressure.
18:50
Speaker 9: Their currency hit an all time low today, but Iran
18:54
Speaker 9: historically has been very good at withstanding economic pressure from
18:58
Speaker 9: the West. They've been under heavy, heavy sanction for years now.
19:02
Speaker 9: So unless the US is willing to do something drastic,
19:05
Speaker 9: perhaps go after Iran's top trading partner, China in a
19:08
Speaker 9: more fulsome way, it is still an open question whether
19:13
Speaker 9: anything can move the needle.
19:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean, just because we say China don't
19:19
Speaker 1: do business with Iran, what makes China have to listen
19:23
Speaker 1: to us?
19:24
Speaker 9: That's right. There are some secondary sanctions that do target
19:27
Speaker 9: Chinese and Hong Kong based entities, but every time the
19:30
Speaker 9: US has rolled out secondary sanctions, China comes up with
19:33
Speaker 9: their own measures. And the difference here is, of course,
19:37
Speaker 9: is that China is a massive economy that's integrated in
19:40
Speaker 9: all different kinds of sectors. So when there are those
19:43
Speaker 9: retaliatory measures, there are concern that there will be more
19:47
Speaker 9: widespread economic impacts that are felt. So it's something that
19:51
Speaker 9: the Trump administration has been very careful to try to avoid,
19:55
Speaker 9: at least up until right now.
19:56
Speaker 1: Okay, ABC, Shannon Kingston, thanks so much for the info.
19:59
Speaker 1: We appreciate ate it.
20:01

Speaker 3: the Federal Reserve chair Kevin Warsh He's going to speak
26:02
Speaker 3: on Friday. This is their annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
26:07
Speaker 3: This is an event. It takes on added significance because
26:10
Speaker 3: of these concerns over ballooning budget deficits and persistent inflations.
26:15
Speaker 3: I don't want to bore anybody too much, but this
26:17
Speaker 3: is why you've been seeing the yields, the bond yields
26:20
Speaker 3: surging higher and higher. And it matters because you know
26:23
Speaker 3: your mortgage is based on that. And then Ai bell
26:27

26:36
Speaker 3: to be a wicked week.
26:37
Speaker 1: Up wilst ump be right. So John, I have a
26:39
Speaker 1: question for you because you sent your headlines over and
26:41
Speaker 1: it says it's a risk off start to a busy week,
26:44
Speaker 1: and I thought it was a typo. I was like,
26:45
Speaker 1: what is he trying to say? But you meant risk off?
26:47
Speaker 1: What's risk off?
26:49
Speaker 3: Risk off means nobody wants to buy stocks or so
26:53
Speaker 3: called risky assets like stocks, so they put their money
26:57
Speaker 3: in things like you know, safe havens gold. Gold this
27:01
Speaker 3: morning is four thousand, six hundred and sixty three dollars announced,
27:04
Speaker 3: So that's up fifty nine dollars an ounce. That's what Sorry,
27:08
Speaker 3: I tend to get jargoned.
27:10
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's totally okay.
27:11
Speaker 3: I'll loosen up by Friday.
27:12
Speaker 1: No, it's fine. You know what, We're going to be
27:14
Speaker 1: all set with all these technical terms soon. It's always
27:17
Speaker 1: good to learn something new, so we appreciate that. Okay.
27:20
Speaker 1: Walmart is introducing a new line of women's clothing and
27:23
Speaker 1: it's cheap, and is that a surprise?
27:25
Speaker 3: No, No, it's not really. It's called scenarios. So most
27:29
Speaker 3: of the items is going to cost less than twenty
27:31
Speaker 3: five bucks. Last week, Walmart, which you know amy is
27:34
Speaker 3: the world's largest retailer, they reported their weakest quarterly sales
27:38
Speaker 3: growth in about six years, and they look at the
27:41
Speaker 3: fashion category as possibly helping them regain some of the
27:45
Speaker 3: ground that they've lost to Amazon dot Com. So it
27:50
Speaker 3: reminds me of the story when I was in the
27:52
Speaker 3: Amp years ago with my young daughter and they had
27:55
Speaker 3: clothing on sale there. Oh, I'll get a sweat at
28:00
Speaker 3: the She turns to me. She was like six of
28:02
Speaker 3: the times, because so it's come to that, daddy, you're
28:05
Speaker 3: buying your clothes at the amp.
28:07
Speaker 1: But anyway, okay, okay, So I want to ask you
28:11
Speaker 1: about this one. Casino operators can make a lot of money,
28:14
Speaker 1: but one of the things they're doing now is trying
28:16
Speaker 1: to look less like casinos. What is going on there?
28:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you've been in casinos. It's like there
28:23
Speaker 3: are no windows, you don't know what time it is,
28:25
Speaker 3: and that's I love that. So yeah, right, new developments
28:30
Speaker 3: emphasizing outdoor spaces and amenities. So the older gaming holes
28:34
Speaker 3: remodeling to add natural light, upscale restaurants, and things like
28:39
Speaker 3: bowling out bowling at the casino. The new options designed
28:42
Speaker 3: to get rid of the traditional dark and smoky reputations.
28:46
Speaker 3: All this happening because gen zers are more likely to
28:49
Speaker 3: gamble than their gen X parents and baby boom or grandparents.
28:53
Speaker 3: But you know what, they're less likely to do so
28:55
Speaker 3: at physical casinos. They can do it online from their
28:59
Speaker 3: living room couch. So some changes coming to casinos to
29:02
Speaker 3: get the younger folk through the front door.
29:05
Speaker 7: Amy.
29:06
Speaker 1: I love when I go to a casino that I
29:08
Speaker 1: have no idea what time it is, whether it's day
29:11
Speaker 1: or night, and I'll stay up till six or seven
29:13
Speaker 1: in the morning because you don't even know it's light outside.
29:15
Speaker 7: I love it.
29:16
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like working here, I know exactly,
29:18
Speaker 1: all right, Bloomberg's John Tucker getting in your business. We
29:21
Speaker 1: do it every weekday morning. Thanks John, We'll talk to
29:23
Speaker 1: you soon.
29:23
Speaker 3: We'll see you, all right.
29:25
Speaker 1: Utility crews are still working to get all the lights
29:27
Speaker 1: back on in Long Beach. The outage initially left about
29:31
Speaker 1: twenty six thousand customers without electricity at about six forty
29:34
Speaker 1: last night. That number was cut nearly in half by
29:37
Speaker 1: early this morning, and more residents should get the power
29:40
Speaker 1: back on soon, so Cal Edison's Cruise have located the
29:44
Speaker 1: problem and are making repairs, hoping to have all the
29:46
Speaker 1: power back on by about eight am. Two thirteen year
29:49
Speaker 1: olds have been arrested after their parents turned them in
29:53
Speaker 1: over a man being assaulted while in a jacuzie at
29:56
Speaker 1: an apartment complex in San Bernardino. Police say one of
29:59
Speaker 1: the teens kick the man in the head, the other
30:02
Speaker 1: stole his phone. The man suffered a concussion. The teenagers
30:05
Speaker 1: are facing felony charges. Spider Man Brand New Day still
30:09
Speaker 1: the most popular movie in the US for the fourth
30:11
Speaker 1: straight week. It took in another thirty nine million dollars
30:14
Speaker 1: over the weekend, beating out the opening of Insidious out
30:18
Speaker 1: of the further in ourn twenty five million. The Odyssey
30:22
Speaker 1: came in third with just under twenty million dollars. Let's
30:25
Speaker 1: say good morning now to ABC's Peter haral Lumbus. Peter,
30:29
Speaker 1: the on again, off again White House Ballroom project is
30:32
Speaker 1: on again for now, So what is the latest.
30:37
Speaker 7: That's right for now? What we saw on Friday was
30:40
Speaker 7: Chief Justice John Roberts issuing in a issuing an administrative
30:44
Speaker 7: stay of that lower court ruling that blocked the construction
30:47
Speaker 7: of the ballroom. He didn't include a rationale for his
30:50
Speaker 7: decision or explain why the High Court needs more time,
30:53
Speaker 7: but he did effectively give the Trump administration the green
30:55
Speaker 7: light to continue with this project. The Trump administration was
30:59
Speaker 7: facing down a deadline of Friday at midnight to halt
31:02
Speaker 7: this construction if the Supreme Court didn't step in. It
31:05
Speaker 7: seems as though the Supreme Court itself hasn't made a
31:07
Speaker 7: full decision yet, but wanted to give the Trump administration
31:10
Speaker 7: more time as they weighed their options and basically prevent
31:13
Speaker 7: that deadline from kicking in.
31:15
Speaker 1: Okay, so the administrative stay. Do we know how long
31:20
Speaker 1: that is, I mean, or how long it could.
31:22
Speaker 7: Be or is it it's kind of indefinite a way
31:27
Speaker 7: the Supreme Court can take as long as they like.
31:28
Speaker 7: I don't think they're going to take more than a
31:30
Speaker 7: few weeks to issue a ruling on the merits. But
31:33
Speaker 7: it buzz suggests how this is going to work out,
31:36
Speaker 7: and that ultimately, if you look at the majority of
31:39
Speaker 7: the Supreme Court how they viewed the issues of presidential authority,
31:43
Speaker 7: it seems as though they're going to stick with this
31:45
Speaker 7: ruling longer term, though we'll have to see their rational
31:48
Speaker 7: in the future. It's going to be really also interesting
31:50
Speaker 7: to see if this comes down to a question of
31:52
Speaker 7: executive authority, which would be interesting considering the number of
31:56
Speaker 7: major cases on their docket in the upcoming year about
31:58
Speaker 7: the scope of the president of or if it will
32:01
Speaker 7: be more of a technicality like ruling on the question
32:03
Speaker 7: of legal standing. The Trump administration has really leaned into
32:06
Speaker 7: this argument so that the group that sued over this,
32:08
Speaker 7: the National Trust for Historic Preservation, doesn't have the legal authority,
32:12
Speaker 7: the legal right to sue. It's possible the Supreme Court
32:15
Speaker 7: just kicks the issue aside with that argument. It's also
32:18
Speaker 7: possible they weigh in more so on the merits. We
32:20
Speaker 7: really have to see. It's possible we get a decision
32:22
Speaker 7: sometime in the next few weeks, which really explains why
32:26
Speaker 7: they reached this conclusion.
32:27
Speaker 1: Okay, and then even if they say no, you didn't
32:30
Speaker 1: have the authority to do that doesn't mean that the
32:32
Speaker 1: project is dead. It just means that the Trump well
32:35
Speaker 1: Trump would have to go to Congress to get it approved.
32:40
Speaker 7: That's exactly right. I mean, the one way to resolve
32:43
Speaker 7: this entire lawsuit, and this has been a legal battle
32:45
Speaker 7: that's been going on for multiple months now is to
32:48
Speaker 7: just go to the Congress, which has a Republican majority
32:51
Speaker 7: in both houses, and say we would like approval for this.
32:54
Speaker 7: They don't even need to get money for it, because
32:55
Speaker 7: the Trump administration has insisted that this is going to
32:57
Speaker 7: be paid for with private dollars or corporate dollars. But
33:01
Speaker 7: the Trump administration is thus far not really made an
33:03
Speaker 7: effort to get that kind of approval, and ultimately there
33:06
Speaker 7: are still these concerns about if taxpayer dollars are going
33:09
Speaker 7: to be used on this project. The presidents still insist
33:11
Speaker 7: this is all privately funded, that he is paying for it.
33:14
Speaker 7: In reality, we know that hundreds of millions of dollars
33:17
Speaker 7: their Secret Service funding have been diverted to security measures
33:20
Speaker 7: at the White House, potentially opening up the door for
33:23
Speaker 7: for hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to be spent
33:25
Speaker 7: on this project.
33:26
Speaker 1: Okay, because not only is it the ballroom above's there's
33:30
Speaker 1: the bunker below, which is where the Secret Service money
33:32
Speaker 1: would be. It would technically be.
33:35
Speaker 7: That's right, and a drone port on the roof. As
33:38
Speaker 7: the President has come around to calling this project, he
33:40
Speaker 7: likes to call this a military center rather than a ballroom.
33:43
Speaker 7: Considering all of those security measures.
33:45
Speaker 1: It's a military center where they throw big parties.
33:49
Speaker 7: Yes, and they can seat a nine thousand square foot
33:53
Speaker 7: entertainment space that's also a military seer.
33:55
Speaker 1: Yeh okay. ABC's Peter Harlan Moose, thanks so much for
33:59
Speaker 1: the information we preached, Jada, Thank you. Let's get back
34:02
Speaker 1: to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
34:04
Speaker 1: twenty four hour newsroom. California Attorney General Rob Bontes reportedly
34:09
Speaker 1: canceled a planned meeting with Paramount's guidance to discuss a
34:12
Speaker 1: possible settlement or resolution about the proposed merger with Warner
34:17
Speaker 1: Brothers discovery the meeting was supposed to happen today. The
34:20
Speaker 1: New York Times says a statement from Bond's office accused
34:24
Speaker 1: Paramount of acting in bad faith by leaking details of
34:27
Speaker 1: the meeting. The mergers on hold because of a lawsuit
34:30
Speaker 1: by California and eleven other states. A fifty percent tariff
34:34
Speaker 1: on twenty billion dollars worth of Canadian products is now
34:37
Speaker 1: in effect after trade talks collapsed over the weekend. ABC's
34:41
Speaker 1: Stephen Portnoy says the Canadians walked away.
34:43
Speaker 7: What's really striking here was the rhetoric that came from Ottawa.
34:47
Speaker 11: Mark Karney, the Canadian Prime Minister, told reporters this country
34:50
Speaker 11: had been attacked.
34:51
Speaker 7: He said he will fight back.
