A ski patroller who was caught in an 93 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: avalanche at Mammoth Mountain has died. Another ski patroller was 94 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: seriously hurt on Friday. The resort says the two were 95 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 2: doing avalanche mitigation on Lincoln Mountain before the ski area 96 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 2: opened that morning. The resort had been closed a couple 97 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 2: of days earlier because of avalanche concerns, and Mammoth Mountain 98 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: got more than five feet of snow during last weeks. 99 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: At miss Spheric River, where President Trump met with Ukrainian 100 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: President Zelensky over the weekend for a new round of 101 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: talks aimed at ending Russia's war with Ukraine. ABC Stephen 102 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: Portnoy joins us with the latest. Good morning, Stephen, Hey. 103 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 6: Good morning to you. 104 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: So what do we know about what was actually discussed 105 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 2: between President Trump and President Zelensky? 106 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 6: During their meeting, well, they talked about the twenty point 107 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 6: piece plan that Vlodimir Zelensky brought with him, which he 108 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 6: says there's ninety percent agreement on now and when it 109 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 6: comes to the key aspects of it. For Zelensky, the 110 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 6: most important part is the security guarantee that he's hoping 111 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 6: that the US and the Europeans provide to his country 112 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 6: for decades to come. According to Zelensky, the US has 113 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 6: committed one hundred percent to a fifteen year security guarantee. 114 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 6: Zelensky told reporters today he would love it if it 115 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 6: were thirty or forty or maybe even fifty years, so 116 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 6: we'll see. 117 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 5: He says. 118 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 6: The Europeans are almost on board with that, and more 119 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 6: talks have to take place. Security guarantees would mean that 120 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 6: the United States and europe are prepared to intervene militarily 121 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 6: on Ukraine's behalf to prevent a further Russian incursion. How 122 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 6: does Moscow feel about that? I mean, one of the 123 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 6: pretexts for the invasion was the idea that NATO was 124 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 6: getting too close to the Russian sphere of influence and 125 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 6: is putin prepared to allow for NATO troops in Ukraine. 126 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 6: Is that what that would mean is that we're talking 127 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 6: about that's not clear. Also, territory eastern Ukraine, that's what 128 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 6: Putin has said. He wants at least, if not all, 129 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 6: of Ukraine to expand his domination to you know, he 130 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 6: describes as reunifying Russian speaking people in eastern Ukraine with 131 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 6: their brethren on the other side of the border. And 132 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 6: also he wants a land bridge to Crimea. He wants 133 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 6: the Zeppa rich A power plant, he wants minerals, there 134 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 6: are lots of things he wants. Zelenski's proposal is to 135 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 6: turn Donetsk into a demilitarized zone. Is Putin on board 136 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 6: for that? That's not clear. The President said yesterday that 137 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 6: an agreement would be too strong a word to say 138 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 6: that agreement has been reached on territory, since I would say, 139 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 6: not agreed, but we're getting closer to an agreement on that. 140 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,119 Speaker 2: So how significant is it that Trump's claim he's already 141 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: spoken with Vladimir Putin and says he plans to speak 142 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: with him again. What does that sort of signal diplomatically? 143 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 6: Well, look, I mean both sides are talking or you know, 144 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 6: all sides are talking about progress, you've got the Russian 145 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 6: saying that the president is correct when he says that 146 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 6: piece is significantly closer. 147 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 5: Now. 148 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 6: Yesterday, the President spent two hours on the phone with 149 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 6: Vladimir Putin, describing it as an excellent phone call ahead 150 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 6: of his meeting yesterday with Zelensky. And there's Zelenski's expectation 151 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 6: that the President's going to get back on the phone 152 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 6: with Putin today to kind of sort of inch this 153 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 6: further along. But the President yesterday is optimistic, as he sounded, 154 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 6: also was not fully committed to the idea that this 155 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 6: is a done deal. In fact, he said that's not 156 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 6: the case, that this is not a one day process. 157 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: It's very complicated stuff. So from Ukraine's perspective, just at 158 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: this point, what are their biggest concerns as these talks continue. 159 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 6: Ukraine most needs and wants security guarantees, and that's an ask, 160 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 6: a significant ask of the United States and the European partners. Essentially, 161 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 6: it's not quite the mutual defense pledge of the NATO treaty, 162 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 6: but in theory it's pretty close.

Then at six five its 249 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 2: handle on the news, President Trump met with Ukraine President Zelenski, 250 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: and Trump says they quote may be very close to 251 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 2: a deal. We're gonna have details on that meeting. But first, 252 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 2: post holiday travel could be a challenge this week as 253 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: snow and rain move across large parts of the country. 254 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 2: For what travelers should expect and where delays are most 255 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 2: likely were joined by NBC News National correspondent Rory O'Neil. 256 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, all right, So, where are the 257 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 2: biggest weather trouble spots for travelers right now? 258 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 10: Well, right now it's in the Midwest, and it's moving 259 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 10: toward the northeast. We're seeing increasing problems in upstate New York, 260 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 10: at least for now, but we're expecting as this severe 261 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 10: cold front makes its way to the east. Places like 262 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 10: New York and Boston will soon really feel the impact, 263 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 10: but we saw a rough weekend in places like Chicago, Minnesota. 264 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 10: I think right now the power outages across some of 265 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 10: these states, especially in Wisconsin, are significant. We've got one 266 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 10: hundred thousand people without power in Michigan, forty six thousand 267 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 10: without power in Texas, twenty five thousand in the dark 268 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 10: in New York. And again, this is goinciding with some 269 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 10: significant temperature changes. Some places will actually see a high 270 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 10: temperature today that is fifty degrees five oh, fifty degrees 271 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 10: below what it was yesterday. 272 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: That's crazy, what a wild decrease, you know. I'm originally 273 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: from Oklahoma, and my friends there said that it was 274 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: in the thirties one day and then the next day 275 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: it was eighty five, you know, And so that's pretty 276 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: typical for Oklahoma. It does change like quite a bit 277 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: and quite drastically. But to see it's like happening all 278 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: over the country is unusual. Let's talk about which areas 279 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: are going to be more affected in terms of like 280 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: airports or roadways. Who's going to see the most significant delays? 281 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 10: Well, look, that's the thing with these tight airline networks 282 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 10: that really have no flexibility in them at all. Even 283 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,239 Speaker 10: a thousand flights that were delayed and canceled in Chicago yesterday. 284 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 10: You know they're trying to improve some of that, but 285 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 10: this has impacts across the system. Even right now, the 286 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 10: flight Aware numbers show you've got ninety eight flight delays 287 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 10: at LAX as a result of these storms that are 288 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 10: hitting the Midwest and the Great Lake States. 289 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 5: What is it? 290 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 10: Total cancelations at LAX are ten? Ninety eight flights have 291 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 10: been delayed. Those numbers are only going to go up 292 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 10: if you are traveling. The advice again make sure you 293 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 10: have your airlines app downloaded on your phone and make 294 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 10: sure the notifications are turned on for that, because you 295 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 10: want to be alerted to any changes the airlines may 296 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 10: announce to your flight. 297 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: Now, you mentioned LAX here, and I know that we've 298 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 2: been reporting that in the next few days we're going 299 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 2: to get another storm here in LA. Is it going 300 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: to mostly affect southern California or will it have a 301 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: ripple effect and just sort of further compound the travel 302 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 2: issues throughout the week. 303 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 10: Well, it's supposed to affect the whole West coast, although 304 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 10: southern California will be getting the brunt of it. So 305 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 10: while it may be an intro two up in Oregon 306 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 10: and Washington State, or like three or four inches, perhaps 307 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 10: more locally in La in the area. So once again, 308 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 10: just where it doesn't need to fall. But that's what's 309 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 10: in the cards right now. 310 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: You know, we just had this massive storm move through 311 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 2: over Christmas, and now it looks like it's going to 312 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 2: hit us again on New Year's Day. If people have plans, 313 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: should they just cancel them at this point? Just stop home? 314 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 5: All right? 315 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 10: Well, look, first of all, listen to your local officials. 316 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 10: If they're asking you to stay off the streets, that's 317 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 10: not a bad idea. But yeah, I would try to 318 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 10: minimize travel, keep things local. You know what's in the neighborhood, 319 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 10: what's on main street. Don't necessarily think of driving an hour, 320 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 10: hour and a half on New Year's Eve to go somewhere. 321 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 10: See what you can do local? 322 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 2: Oh man, all right, well, I'm going to have to 323 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: cancel I think maybe my New Year's Eve dinner plans. 324 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 2: Although it's not that far away.

Michael Kasner KFFI news. 391 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: A new DOJ filing says the man from Virginia who 392 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 2: confessed to placing pipe bombs outside DNC and RNC headquarters 393 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: on January sixth, twenty twenty one, repeatedly cited conspiracy theories 394 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 2: about the twenty twenty election.

He denied the attack 399 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 2: was directed to Congress or tied to the election certification. 400 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 2: California has dropped its lawsuit over four billion dollars in 401 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 2: federal funding pulled from the state's high speed rail project. 402 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 2: The Trump administration called the project unworkable, while Governor k 403 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 2: Newsome labeled the move political. State officials now say they'll 404 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 2: pursue other funding to finish the rail line. A ski 405 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 2: patroller injured in an avalanche at Mammoth Mountain has died. 406 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 2: Cole Murphy was hurt during avalanche mitigation work on Friday. 407 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 2: Resort officials say another patroller is recovering and the investigation 408 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 2: into the slide is ongoing.

Harry's attorney denies the claims, 412 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 2: and Lionsgate is also named in the suit. Then at 413 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: six oh five, it's handled on the news. Two helicopters 414 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 2: crashed in mid air, leaving one person dead. We're going 415 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 2: to tell you where it happened and what may have 416 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: led to the crash. As twenty twenty six gets underway, 417 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 2: history is casting a long shadow over Washington. In nearly 418 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 2: every modern midterm election, the president's party has lost ground 419 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 2: in Congress, and with Republicans holding the House by just 420 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 2: three seats, the stakes couldn't be higher. Here to break 421 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 2: it all down for us, as ABC News political analyst 422 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 2: Steve Roberts, good morning, Steve, Well. 423 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 5: Good morning, and you know President Trump has said repeatedly, 424 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 5: it makes no sense that this historic trend is so powerful. 425 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 5: Twenty as you point out, twenty of the last twenty 426 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 5: two midterm elections the out party is one seats. The 427 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 5: only exceptions were nineteen ninety eight after Republican ill fated 428 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 5: attempt to impeach Bill Clinton in two thousand and two 429 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 5: in the aftermath of the nine to eleven tragedy. But 430 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 5: the President's wrong about this. It does make sense think 431 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 5: about this, and Trump himself is actually a very good 432 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 5: example of why this trend is so powerful. He, like 433 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 5: Ronald Reagan Barack Obama, is similarly magnetic and powerful political candidates. 434 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 5: They bring in a lot of marginal voters who don't 435 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 5: pay attention to politics, don't listen to the news, don't 436 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 5: watch CNN, but were magnetized and attracted by Trump's personality. 437 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 5: He was very shrewded going on Joe Rogan and podcasts 438 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 5: that reach those voters and using TikTok and other social 439 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 5: media platforms. But it's not as if those voters are 440 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 5: going to vote for Democrats next November. They're not going 441 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 5: to vote at all, and so it's a very different 442 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 5: election in the off year elections and presidents as magnetic 443 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 5: as Trump and Reagan suffer more because they brought in 444 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 5: so many less motivated voters. And secondly, all presidents, all 445 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 5: presidents make promises they cannot keep. This is part of 446 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 5: Joe Biden's problem, right, I mean, he took over and 447 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 5: said he was going to abilitate the economy. He failed 448 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 5: to do that, and people took it out on Kamala Harris. Well, 449 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 5: Trump is facing a similar problem. He promised on day one, 450 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 5: he said repeatedly on day one, I'm going to bring 451 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 5: down prices. Well, that was a ridiculous promise to begin with. 452 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 5: It was an impossible one to keep. But if you 453 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 5: look at the numbers, there's a growing disappointment gap, a 454 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 5: disillusionment gap. Trump got forty nine percent of the vote 455 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 5: a year ago, but today only about thirty five percent 456 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 5: of Americans have confidences in handling the economy. That's the 457 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 5: disappointment gap. That's what happens to all presidents. They can't 458 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 5: keep all the promises they make. And so it's actually 459 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 5: totally understand the Well, in the offiere elections, the president's 460 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 5: party lose the seats, and that's the most likely outcome 461 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 5: next year. 462 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 2: So we are truly going to see history repeating itself 463 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: in the next it's put possibly repeating itself in the 464 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 2: next year. So how much of this comes out to, 465 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 2: you know, voter turnout, you know, especially when, like you said, 466 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 2: like a sort of polarizing figure like President Trump is 467 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 2: no longer going to be the main focus of the 468 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 2: ticket to people. Is it going to come down to turnout? 469 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 5: Sure, you're absolutely right about that, you know. And the 470 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 5: other factor here is that the outparty tends to be 471 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 5: more motivated than the in party. The in party has 472 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 5: had success, they can get a little self satisfied, a 473 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 5: little complacent. The out party always has an extra element 474 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 5: of determination. And you're right to point pinpoint, like that 475 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 5: question of turnout again, this is not really a question 476 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 5: of convincing the folks on the other side to change 477 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 5: their votes. That's not the key dynamic. The key dynamic 478 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 5: is can you maximize the turnout of the people who 479 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:20,479 Speaker 5: already agree with you? And being the out party using 480 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 5: Donald Trump as sort of the all purpose demon is 481 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 5: the Democratic plan. And you saw it just last month 482 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 5: and the gubinatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey. The 483 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 5: Democrats were much more motivated the Democrats and the variety 484 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 5: of elections have outperformed Kamala Harris by thirteen fourteen percent. Well, 485 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 5: that's turnout, that's not that's not the result of MAGA 486 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 5: voters suddenly turning into Liberals. That's a question of turnout. 487 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 5: You saw it in California in the referendum on redistrict 488 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 5: The sense of urgency on the part of the Democrats 489 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 5: and Governor Newsom was much greater than the other side 490 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 5: and it wasn't even a close contest. So yes, turnout 491 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 5: is absolutely critical. 492 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 2: So we're already seeing recent a wave, if you will, 493 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 2: of House retirements. What does that tell you about how 494 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 2: confident or maybe nervous Republicans are feeling good? 495 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 5: Point, it's up to twenty six Republicans in the House 496 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 5: and decided not to run for reelection, and it could 497 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 5: be even more because in a state like California, for instances, 498 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 5: everybody knows. As districts get redistricted, some Republicans are facing 499 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 5: having to run against each other in primaries. Other are 500 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 5: facing much tougher districts than they did before. Even those 501 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 5: who are in reasonably good shape might have to appeal 502 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 5: to new voters who are new to their district. It's 503 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 5: just a very upsetting process for a lot of members. 504 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 5: But even though the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, 505 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 5: talks confidently about keeping control of the House, the fact 506 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 5: that so many Republicans are not running again is absolute 507 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 5: evidence that inside the Republican Party, inside the Caucus, in 508 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 5: their private conversations, they all know that the historic odds 509 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 5: are very very much against them. And the fact is 510 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 5: that life in Congress for a lot of members is 511 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 5: very unhappy these days, but as really unhappy if you're 512 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 5: in the minority. And so when you see so many 513 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 5: members saying I'm not going to run again, that's the 514 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 5: tip off of what they're really thinking, what their polls 515 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 5: are showing privately, and they're betting that they're about to 516 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 5: be in the minority next year, and that they're going 517 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 5: to take this chance to think about a new career. 518 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 2: All right, Steve Roberts, this has been a really fascinating analysis, 519 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 2: and I know a lot of political junkies will be 520 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 2: watching to gauge whether history is about to repeat itself 521 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 2: again this year.

We're going to have details of that 570 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 2: report well. As New Year's twenty twenty six approaches, New 571 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 2: Orleans is stepping up security in the French Quarter, with 572 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 2: hundreds of National Guard troops joining local and federal law enforcement. 573 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 2: For more on what's happening now and how officials are 574 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 2: trying to prevent a repeat of what happened last year, 575 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 2: we're joined by ABC News is Jim Ryan. Good Morning, Jim, 576 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 2: Morning Heather. 577 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 12: First, the background yet was January first of this year, 578 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 12: the very beginning of the earth. Little after midnight. What 579 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 12: a guy drove a pickup drug down Bourbon Street, killed 580 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 12: fourteen people injured more than fifty others before he was 581 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 12: shot and killed by police. The FBI declared it almost 582 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 12: immediately a terrorist attack. Their new ballards were brought in, 583 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 12: traffic barricades to keep people from doing that again, new 584 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 12: policies in place to ensure that more officers are patrolling 585 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 12: that part of the city. But now comes this deployment 586 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 12: three hundred and fifty National Guard troops who have arrived 587 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 12: in New Orleans. They'll be there through New Years, they'll 588 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 12: be there through the All State Sugar Bowl, and they'll 589 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 12: be there through Marti Gross. So this is almost a 590 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 12: two month deployment. 591 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 2: Heather, So, how much of this security plan is directly 592 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 2: shaped by what happened as you mentioned on New Year's 593 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 2: Day of twenty twenty five, Well. 594 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 12: I suspect that it had that not happen, there wouldn't 595 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 12: be this deployment at all. Now, earlier this month, we 596 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 12: had National Guard troops and ICE agents taking part in 597 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 12: something called Catahula Crunch, this immigration effort there in Southeast Louisiana. 598 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 12: This is different, But I suspect again that the National 599 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 12: Guard might not have been there at all if we 600 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 12: hadn't had that terror attack on January first this year. 601 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 2: So are there any specific threats then that authorities are 602 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 2: focused on As these large crowds return to the French Quarter. 603 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 2: I mean, that's such a large gathering place. 604 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:53,479 Speaker 5: It is. 605 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's you know, do you think of the French Quarter, 606 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 12: But also areas around the French Quarter and over by 607 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 12: the river, and it is a large area. And three 608 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,959 Speaker 12: hundred and fifty National Guard troops are being sent in 609 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 12: to augment the local police, not replace them. Certainly in 610 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 12: a lot of places, a lot of communities where this 611 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 12: has happened, I think that local leaders, especially Democrats, if 612 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 12: they're in charge of the city, see this is kind 613 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 12: of a partisan move on the part of President Trump 614 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 12: or his supporters like Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry. Not so 615 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,959 Speaker 12: in Orleans. The Democratic mayor like there Helena Moreno, says 616 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 12: she welcomes the deployment of three hundred and fifty National 617 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 12: Guard troops because it enhances not just the safety, but 618 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 12: the sense of safety and the community that depends so 619 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 12: heavily on tourism, really relies on perception as much as 620 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 12: actual numbers. You know, the crime rate according to the 621 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 12: police chief has been falling for the last several months. 622 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 12: But you know, people aren't going to go there if 623 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 12: they don't feel safe. 624 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 2: Heather, Now, that's a great point. You know, the people 625 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 2: wanting to feel safe, you know, whether or not they 626 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 2: actually are is a you know, a lot going on 627 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 2: behind the scenes. I'm sure to make that happen. So 628 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 2: how are city leaders balancing making that visible security presence 629 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 2: with still keeping the celebrations welcoming for tourists. 630 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 12: Yeah, and it's interesting. I know that in some communities 631 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 12: national Guard troops who've been sent in working with local 632 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 12: police that they don't wear uniforms, they're not wearing camouflage, 633 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 12: they're not armed. They're wearing in some cases, you know, 634 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 12: polo shirts and khakis. That won't be the case in 635 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 12: New Orleans. They are in full uniform and they are armed. 636 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 12: So you're right, it's a fine line to walk to 637 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 12: feel safe, but also not to constantly be looking Hey, 638 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 12: what's that guy doing with a rifle over there? Why 639 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,280 Speaker 12: are there troops standing around out here on Bourbon Street 640 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 12: or you know, So, you're right, it's a fine balance 641 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 12: that they have to strike. 642 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 2: Now is did I read that the governor of Louisiana 643 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 2: is actually in support of this and is welcoming them. 644 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 12: Well, yeah, I mean he does the deployment. It's a 645 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 12: National Guards situ like this, it's the governor who deploys 646 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 12: the troops. The federal government peace for it. But Jeff 647 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,760 Speaker 12: Landry is a staunchly conservative Republican and I think maybe 648 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 12: he saw this as a way to poke the democratic 649 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 12: mayor in the eye by sending these troops in there. 650 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 12: But no, she says, bring them on. This is great. 651 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 12: But they've also reached this not consensus, but sort of 652 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 12: a sense of cooperation.
