85
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,560

86
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles. Property owners say rent caps and the

87
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,120

Speaker 5: hurt LA's goals of having more housing units in the

89
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 5: years ahead. Michael Monks KFI News.

90

91
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,120

100

Speaker 1: has been operating on surface streets around LA for about

107
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: a year. The company says it has done extensive testing

108
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: on freeways that took some time to make sure that

109
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: everything's right. Uh yeah, I still am taken my first Weymo.

110
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,360

Speaker 1: zone is slowing you down in South LA. It's on

112
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: the one oh five. Good morning, will Cole Schreiber, Good morning.

113
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got up lanes taken away in the process

114
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: of being reopened.

115
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: The cones getting picked up here.

116
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: It's the westbound side of the one oh five, right

117
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: around CRANCHHAF two lanes.

118
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: We're supposed to be completely open about a half.

119
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: An hour ago, but it's taking a little while for

120
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: them to pick that up, and there's some delay. Six

121
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 2: oh five northbound at Spring Street, we've got a trailer

122
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: hitch in the roadway, big metal steel trailer hitch that

123
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: apparently people are hitting, so be careful there. Sixty westbound

124
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: at Hacienda that is a little bit of a problem

125
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: in terms of a crash clearing and sixty west pound

126
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: at Azusa. This may be one and the same an

127
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 2: accident there and things are a little bit slow on

128
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: the westbound side. Otherwise things are moving well, so buckle

129
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: up and drive carefully. From with Southern California's most accurate

130
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: traffic report.

131
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: So I'm Will Cole Schreiber. Buckle up, I like it.

132
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Steven Portnoy. So, Steven,

133
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: it's officially over forty three days of a shutdown. Bring

134
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: us up to speed on what happened yesterday.

135
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 7: Well, the House voted two twenty two in favor two

136
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 7: oh nine against on a bill that reopens the government.

137
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 7: Six House Democrats crossed.

138
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 8: The aisle to vote yes, two.

139
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 7: House Republicans voted no, and President Trump signed the bill

140
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 7: intol on the ten o'clock Eastern time hour last night. So,

141
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 7: federal workers who've been furloughed or expected back at their

142
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 7: duty posts and stations and desks and all across the

143
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 7: federal government, and you know, paychecks will start going out

144
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 7: in short order. According to reports, the FAA employees the

145
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 7: air traffic controllers could be made whole partially in the

146
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 7: next couple of days with seventy percent of their back pay,

147
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 7: and then thirty percent more in the next paycheck. So

148
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 7: the effort is to get that money out the door

149
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 7: as soon as possible. The CBO Congressional Budget Office estimates

150
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 7: that the total cost of the shutdown to the US

151
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 7: economy could be eleven billion dollars for the longest shutdown

152
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 7: in the modern era.

153
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: Okay, how do they determine that that dollar figure?

154
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 7: Oh, I don't know. I'm not an economist. I'm just

155
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 7: reporting their findings. Yeah, but you know, I think what

156
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 7: they're doing is they're looking at the fact that for

157
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 7: many weeks, the federal government, which would normally be pumping

158
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 7: out output into the economy not been And there are

159
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 7: other broader effects. I mean, here's a tangible example. There's well,

160
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 7: it's at least reports. The word is that the Bureau

161
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 7: of Labor Statistics may not ever release the October jobs

162
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 7: report because the people who were responsible for that were furloughed,

163
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 7: and we may never know. It may sort of be

164
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 7: a black hole for economic forecasters as to where we

165
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 7: were in the month of October twenty twenty five with

166
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 7: respect to the job market.

167
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: Okay, so then you get all into the conspiracy thing

168
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: because the economy's kind of been softening. Maybe Trump didn't

169
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: want to have those numbers come out. Ah, I know,

170
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: I know that's just being conspiracy. So and SNAP benefits

171
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: are going to be paid under this spending plan through

172
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: next September, and they have been cut off or partially paid.

173
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: So do we know when those are expected to start

174
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: rolling out.

175
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know the specifics, but I do know

176
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 7: that now that the Appropriations Bill has been signed, any

177
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 7: of the back and forth of this question about partial

178
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 7: benefits and the core and all this, that's all moot.

179
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 7: The money is now there, and it really shouldn't be

180
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 7: much of a problem. The you know issue with respect

181
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 7: to you know, fully funding the SNAP benefits and the

182
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 7: entire Department of Agriculture which provides them, that's taken care

183
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 7: of now through the end of the fiscal year. Few

184
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 7: areas of the federal government are now addressed in that respect.

185
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 7: Military construction, the Veterans Affairs Department, the entire Legislative branch,

186
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 7: so that means Congressional staff won't have to worry about

187
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 7: their paychecks. If Heaven help us, we wind up in

188
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 7: another government shutdown at the end of January that would

189
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 7: be described properly as a partial shutdown, because certain areas

190
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 7: of the government will have now been funded for the

191
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 7: fiscal year, and you know, it's it's now on Congress

192
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 7: to do the rest of its job, which is funding

193
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 7: the rest of the government before the next deadline.

194
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: And it's not that far away, so we might be

195
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: talking about this very same thing. And just you know,

196
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: right after the new year, the furloughed people that would

197
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: like it was like a sinsident, like seven hundred thousand

198
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: people who were off the job up during the shutdown,

199
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: some crazy high number like that.

200
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that was the reporting. I mean, you know,

201
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 7: you had so many people who were reporting to work

202
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 7: without paychecks, whether they were in law enforcement or you know,

203
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 7: obviously we've spent a lot of time talking about air

204
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 7: traffic controllers, but you know, I've seen park rangers on

205
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 7: the job at national parks, and you've got a feel

206
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 7: for these people who are showing up to work every

207
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 7: day expecting that they'll get their bi weekly paychecks, and

208
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 7: for six weeks they didn't come. You know, people had

209
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 7: to max out their credit cards or at least put

210
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 7: money on those credit cards, or maybe ask for help,

211
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 7: maybe go to food banks. It's really an unfortunate circumstance,

212
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 7: and it's a good thing. It's over.

213
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: Absolutely. And then one other thing before I let you go.

214
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: Once the House got back into session, they did us

215
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: swearing in for somebody who's been waiting for a while

216
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: to officially be sworn in as a Congresswoman.

217
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 7: Adelie Agrihalva, the Democrat of Arizona, succeeding her father, was

218
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 7: kept essentially at bay for seven weeks after the special

219
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 7: election that saw her coming to Washington, and just yesterday

220
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 7: was she sworn in. First action after giving her speech

221
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 7: was signing the discharge petition that will force a vote

222
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 7: on the bill that would order the release of the

223
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 7: Epstein files. That bill is now going to be put

224
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 7: up for vote next week, Speaker Johnson swallowing the bitter pill.

225
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 7: What you need to know, though, is that even if

226
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 7: it passes the House, which it probably will, there's no

227
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 7: guarantee it's going to be put on the floor of

228
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 7: the Senate. Oh and by the way, the president would

229
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 7: have to sign it. Oh gee, White House has been

230
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 7: so interested in this not happening that yesterday they called

231
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 7: Lauren Bobert of Colorado to the Situation Room to try

232
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 7: to convince her to take her name off the discharge petition.

233
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: She refused to do that.

234
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: All right, ABC, Stephen Portnoy, I have a feeling we'll

235
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: be talking about that in the near future too. Thank you,

236
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: you bet. Let's get back to some of the stories

237
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Newly

238
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: released emails show sex offender Jeffrey Epstein reportedly or repeatedly

239
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: discussed President Trump with his co conspirator Gallaine Maxwell, ABC's

240
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: Mary Bruce's The emails were released by Democrats on the

241
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee.

242
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 9: In at twenty eleven exchange, with his co conspirator Glenn Maxwell,

243
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 9: Epstein writing the quote dog that hasn't barked is Trump,

244
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 9: adding one of his victims spent hours with Trump at

245
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 9: Epstein's home.

246
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: Republicans in the White House say the person mentioned was

247
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: Virginia Giuffrey, who once worked at Trump's spot mar A Lago.

248
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: She said she never saw Trump do anything inappropriate. President

249
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: Trump has urged Israel to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

250
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: in a corruption case. He's facing charges of fraud, breach

251
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: of trust, and taking bribes ABC's Ian panels As. Trump

252
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: sent a letter to Israeli President Isaac Hertzog yesterday, calling

253
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,599
Speaker 1: the case a political, unjustified prosecution.

254
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 4: The statement president Herzogg responding that he holds President Trump

255
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 4: in the highest regard, but that anyone seeking a pardon

256
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 4: has to submit a formal request.

257
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: Trump also mentioned the pardon during a speech at Israel's

258
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: Knesset last month, when the ceasefire with Hamas was announced.

259
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: Paris is commemorating the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks

260
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: that killed one hundred and thirty two people and injured

261
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: one hundreds. Gosh, that was ten years ago. Already crazy.

262
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: The attacks in twenty fifteen included shootings at cafes, explosions

263
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: at a stadium, and a massacre at the Batklan concert hall.

264
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: The ceremonies today will include tributes led by President Emmanuel

265
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: Macron and Paris Mayor and Hidalgo. At each attack site,

266
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: a new memorial garden will be unveiled, and the Eiffel

267
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: Tower will be lit in French colors. The US Mint

268
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: has made its final penny. The last one cent coins

269
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: were produced yesterday at the Mint in Philadelphia at a

270
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: cost of nearly four cents each.

271
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 6: The final pennies minted will be auctioned off and not

272
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 6: go into circulation.

273
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: Now. Some are wondering if the.

274
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 6: Five cent nickel, which costs fourteen cents to make, could also.

275
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: Be in jeopardy. ABC's Andrew Fujii says the Treasury Department

276
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: expects to say fifty six million dollars a year on

277
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: materials by not making pennies. Retailers have complained that the

278
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: phase out was abrupt and came with no guidance from

279
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 1: the government. There are still three hundred billion pennies in

280
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: circulation and they are considered legal tender. The parties before

281
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: and after the IDEs are going away.

282
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 10: Wedding planners say cocktail hours and receptions bookending wedding ceremonies

283
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 10: dropped in part because of the pandemic, but it's become

284
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 10: less popular since then. Recent data says reception free weddings

285
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 10: have gone up two hundred percent over the last year.

286
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 10: The historic Levena Inn and Palace Verita's got so many

287
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 10: requests for paired down weddings. It created a ceremony only

288
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 10: package this year. Some say it makes the vows the

289
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 10: centerpiece of the occasion, but others say it frees them

290
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 10: from the stress of planning the big to dos, including

291
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 10: the cost of wedding cakes, videographers and more. It also

292
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 10: lets them limit the number of guests to just the

293
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 10: people they actually care about. Michael Krozier kf I.

294
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: News flight reductions will remain at six percent at forty

295
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: May your airports and will not increase to eight percent

296
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: today is planned. The FAA says it's because more air

297
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: traffic controllers are coming back to work now that the

298
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: government's shutdown has officially ended. The six percent restriction will

299
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: stay in place while officials assess whether the air traffic

300
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: system can safely return to normal operations. Hopefully they'll be

301
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: back on track by Thanksgiving. They have two weeks. A

302
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: new report from the National Association of Walter says the

303
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: age of first time home buyers has climbed to an

304
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: all time high. Forty years is now the average age.

305
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: The number of first time home buyers has also dropped

306
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: to a record low of twenty one percent in twenty

307
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: twenty five. Skyrocketing home prices and mortgage rates are to blame.

308
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: The home buyer's crisis is prompted the White House to

309
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: propose a new fifty year mortgage, which would lower your payments,

310
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: but you know you'd be paying for a lifetime. The

311
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: La City Council has passed a resolution officially opposing the

312
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,360

00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: Union Station the Dodger Dodger Stadium would reduce traffic at

316
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,640

317
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,440

Speaker 8: the course of the last few weeks, we'll get back

329
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:58,520

Speaker 1: get back to things like celebrating your thirtieth anniversary as

332
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: a White House correspondent. Holy cow, John, that's a long time.

333
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 8: It's a long time. Yeah, when you think about I've

334
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 8: covered every president since Bill Clinton in his first term.

335
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 8: I've traveled the world with these presidents. I've worked with

336
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 8: seventeen White House Press secretaries, and for me, it never

337
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 8: gets old.

338
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 7: I love what I do.

339
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 8: You know, presidents and press secretaries tell me I'm good

340
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 8: at what I do. I got a really nice congratulatory

341
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 8: note from President Trump. I even got one from both

342
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 8: President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama. So I

343
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 8: couldn't be happier about that. And you know, I'm humbled

344
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 8: by the fact that, you know, I'm going to be

345
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 8: celebrating this thirtieth year milestone to night at the Swedish

346
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 8: Embassy right here in Washington.

347
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: D C.

348
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: Why why is it at the Swedish Embassy?

349
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I've developed very close friendships over the years,

350
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 8: and one of those friendships, one of my good friends

351
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 8: is the Swedish ambassador, and he wanted to host this

352
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 8: event and that's exactly what he's going to be doing.

353
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 8: So about two hundred guests will be attending this event. Friends, family,

354
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 8: my wife, colleagues, other ambassadors. It's going to be a

355
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 8: great event. This evening very cool.

356
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: Okay, So let's talk about thirty years. What are some

357
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: of your maybe one or two of your most memorable moments, because,

358
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: like you said, you've dealt with all these presidents, traveled

359
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: the world, been through scandals and successes and failures. What

360
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: are a couple that really stick out in your mind?

361
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 8: Well, Amy, you know, I could go year by year,

362
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 8: but that will take us too long. But certainly in

363
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 8: the Clinton years, the Monica Lewinsky scandal, being at the

364
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 8: White House when that broke, and the impeachment of Bill Clinton.

365
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 8: I've been in the House Chamber for thirty data Union addresses.

366
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 8: They're never old for me. They're like my Super Bowl

367
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 8: when those happen. Of course, the Persian Gulf War, the

368
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 8: war in Iraq and Afghanistan under George W. Bush, the

369
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 8: historic it and see an election of Barack Obama. I

370
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 8: traveled to Cuba with Barack Obama that historic trip. I

371
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 8: traveled to Singapore when President Trump met for the first

372
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 8: time with Kim Jong Un. I travel with President Biden

373
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 8: to Geneva when he met with President Putin. Most recently,

374
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 8: I was with President Trump in Alaska when he met

375
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 8: with President Putin. There have been so many memorable moments

376
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 8: and memorable trips that are a part of American history

377
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 8: that I've reported on and witnessed. And to me, that's

378
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 8: a great privilege a.

379
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: Witness to history. Nice I would put that on my tombstone,

380
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: not that we're hoping there you go. Okay, So was

381
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: there a worst moment?

382
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 8: I'm going to tell you a moment that well, nine

383
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 8: to eleven. First of all, you know, being there on

384
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 8: nine to eleven, I mean that that is a sering

385
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 8: memory for me. That is, you know, I think the

386
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 8: worst moment in our in our you know, our our memories,

387
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 8: our country's history that we can certainly recall, you know,

388
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 8: not being around for some of the events of the

389
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 8: nineteen sixties assassinations that took place then. But so nine

390
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 8: to eleven certainly sticks out. A funny moment I will

391
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 8: tell you was in two thousand and eight when I

392
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 8: was bit by President George W. Bush's Scottish Terryer Barney.

393
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 8: He bit me on the finger, and that actually made

394
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 8: national news.

395
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 11: At the time.

396
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 8: Give you a sense about how the world has changed

397
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 8: so much. That was a funny moment. Missus Bush was

398
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 8: so apologetic, and President Bush said to me at the

399
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 8: Christmas party about a month later, but it was good

400
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 8: for ratings. It was pretty funny, pretty funny moment, and

401
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 8: I had a good laugh about it when it happened,

402
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 8: of course. And still you know, you can actually see

403
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 8: that moment as it happens amy on YouTube. It went

404
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 8: viral at the time. So that was a pretty funny

405
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 8: moment that happened. Wow, my gosh, more than fifteen years ago.

406
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So Biden's dogs aren't the only dogs that were

407
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: biting people.

408
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 8: There are other presidents dogs that were that. It's a misues,

409
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 8: that's right. Yeah.

410
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: So here's a question for you, because you've been asking

411
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: questions at the President and talking to, you know, people

412
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: in the White House for all these years. How do

413
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: you manage to stay in the good graces of the

414
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: most powerful man in the world and still ask the

415
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: tough questions.

416
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 8: Well, I think you can do so, you know, just

417
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 8: by being fair, having integrity, being honest, and still asking

418
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 8: tough questions. You know that we live in America. We

419
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 8: have a free press, and I think every president recognizes that.

420
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 8: And so for that reason, you know, I think that

421
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 8: it makes me feel proud to know that I received

422
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 8: a congratulatory letter that praised me and my reporting coming

423
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 8: from President Trump, and I received similar types of letters

424
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 8: coming from his polar opposite, you know, and that's Barack Obama.

425
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 8: So I know I'm doing something right if I'm receiving

426
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 8: praise from each of those presidents that represent opposite extremes

427
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 8: on the political spectrum. The key is is just to

428
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 8: be fair and honest and decent with the people that

429
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 8: you cover.

430
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: Okay, and you sent a picture or your scheduler sent

431
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: a picture of the letter that's framed, and of course

432
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: it's a gold frame. Did you frame it in gold

433
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: or did you get it that way from the White House?

434
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 8: That's a great question. Amy. No one's asked me that

435
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 8: I chose that frame. I chose the way it looks.

436
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 8: I just felt, you know, how fitting to have gold

437
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 8: because who else do you associate with colden? President Donald Trump?

438
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 8: So great question, and I gather you like the frame

439
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 8: that I chose.

440
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: It's beautiful and you know, kind of cool to have

441
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: a framed letter from the President of the United States

442
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: and also from the former presidents of the United States.

443
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: Can'fi's White House correspondent John Decker, thanks so much. Congratulations

444
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,359

Speaker 8: Oh thanks so much, Amy, I appreciate it. Well, I'll

446
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 8: talk to you real soon, all right.

447
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: The La City Council has approved a plan to address

448
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: a projected two hundred and sixty three million dollar budget

449
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: deficit in the first three months of the fiscal It

450
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: was caused by unexpected spending in several city departments. According

451
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: to officials, the city will spend over fourteen million dollars

452
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: to cover immediate expenses, and then has also identified one

453
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine million dollars in possible actions that

454
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: will reduce over overspending revenue for the quarter. Good news

455
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: is up eighty million dollars over projections. The mother of

456
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: a missing nine year old girl from Santa Barbara County

457
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: has appeared in court in a case unrelated to her

458
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: daughter melodies disappearance. ABC's Matt Gutman says Ashley Buzzard is

459
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: accused of holding a man hostage in her home.

460
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 5: It was at Buzzard's home last week trying to help

461
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 5: her search for the girl when the mother became visibly distressed.

462
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 5: After sharing information, she appeared to regret disclosing.

463
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: The guy claims a box cutter was used, and despite

464
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: asking Buzzard to let him go, she wouldn't. Buzzard has

465
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: pleaded not guilty. State officials say they planned to revoke

466
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:59,560

Speaker 1: were legally allowed to be in the US. The announcement

469
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 1: follows criticism from the Trump administration about California and other

470
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: states granting licenses to illegal immigrants. The practice came to

471
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: light in August when the driver of a tractor trailer

472
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: made an illegal U turn in Florida and caused a

473
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: crash that killed three people. MSNBC's officially changing its name

474
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: this weekend.

475
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 11: The news network will be known as MS Now. It's

476
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 11: all part of the corporate divorce from NBC News. NBC

477
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 11: Universal's parent company, Comcast, spun most of its cable networks

478
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 11: off into a new company. The network's lineup remains the same,

479
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 11: but it has built a new studio and hired a

480
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 11: new reporting staff to make up for losing its partnership

481
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 11: with NBC.

482
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: Deborah mark Koffi News. Some Starbucks baristas are putting down

483
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: the coffee and hidden picket lines today. The strike coincides

484
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: with Starbucks Red Cup date, it's one of its busy

485
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: siest days of the holiday season. The workers' union accuses

486
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: the coffee giant of refusing to fairly negotiate and has

487
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: rejected its latest proposal. Starbucks says it already offers competitive

488
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: pay and benefits and is ready to negotiate if the

489
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: union returns to the table. The Starbucks that are affected

490
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: or the unionized Starbucks, so it affects about five hundred

491
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: of their stores. Residents who live in areas burned by

492
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: wildfires have been told to be ready to leave as

493
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: a stom moves into southern California. The National Weather Service

494
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: says heavy periods of rain over the next few days

495
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: could bring flooding and debris flows. A half inch of

496
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: rain per hours expected at times. LA City Council's voted

497
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: to update the Rent Stabilization Ordinance with a new formula

498
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: that allows landlords to raise rents by up to four percent.

499
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: It also removes additional charges for electricity and gas. These

500
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: are the most substantive changes to rent policies in more

501
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: than four decades. The last pennies have been minted in

502
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: the US. The Philadelphia Mint made the very last pennies. Yesterday,

503
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: President Trump ordered the Mint to stop producing pennies, which

504
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: now cost almost four cents to make. In seventeen ninety three,

505
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: a penny could buy you a biscuit, a candle, or

506
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: a piece of candy. Billions of pennies are still in

507
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: circulation and will remain legal tender. Okay, we got you know.

508
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: I love Christmas and I've already been talking about it.

509
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: The countdown is on. It's like forty two days now.

510
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: Not everybody is quite as excited about as me.

511
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: Hi, No, no, no, no, not Christmas.

512
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: Amy, you go back to talking about Disney Man. We

513
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: still Thanksgiving, but not everybody agrees. Others say, go ahead, Hi.

514
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 8: Amy, you're right, it's not too early to talk about Christmas.

515
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 8: I think you should talk about start talking about Easter

516
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 8: twenty six.

517
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: Okay, So I am a one holiday at a time person,

518
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: and I think there's a little gray area when it

519
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: comes to Thanksgiving. But in Florida, at Tindel Air Force Base,

520
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: which is just outside of Panama City, apparently some of

521
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: the people who live on base had started putting up

522
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: Christmas decorations early. They didn't wait until after Thanksgiving like

523
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: you're supposed to. And they got a letter from the

524
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: base and it said, all right, slow your role, guys.

525
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: And they said it's one holiday at a time, and

526
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: they basically ordered them to take their decorations down. Yeah.

527
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: They said all holiday decorations should be reflective of their

528
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: respective months and not displayed any sooner than thirty days

529
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: before the given holiday. If you currently have Yule tied

530
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: decor outside your home, please remove it and re install

531
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: it in accordance with your community guidelines. They say they're

532
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: just enforcing community standards, not a DoD policy or I

533
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: guess Department of War policy. But it is apparently common

534
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: practice across rental communities to keep neat, consistent, and enjoyable

535
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: and vires for all residents. I think that might have

536
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: been a little bit extreme because if they should have

537
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: told them beforehand, because you think hours and hours of

538
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: time and breaking your back and falling off ladders to

539
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 1: make sure that your holiday decorations look fabulous, right, your

540
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: things intense? Yes, Anyway, I am a one holiday at

541
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: a time, So decorations don't go up until after Thanksgiving,

542
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: and no Easter doesn't go up before Christmas. Here's what's

543
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news from

544
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: President Trump assigned a bill to reopen the government. The

545
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: bill was passed by the House late yesterday. Even some

546
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: Democrats voted to end the shutdown. After the vote, Speaker

547
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: Johnson blamed the historically long shutdown on Democratic leaders, saying

548
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: they use the American people as pawns.

549
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 4: The Democrat shutdown is finally over thanks to House and

550
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: Senate Republicans who stood together to get the job done.

551
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: The bill was passed by a vote of two twenty

552
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: two to two oh nine. President Trump then signed it

553
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: at the Oval Office last night. For the thousands of

554
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: airline passengers have had to deal with flight cancelations and delays,

555
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: and end to the government's shutdown couldn't come soon enough.

556
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: ABC's Gio Benita says more than nine hundred flights were

557
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: canceled yesterday and more than seventeen hundred were delayed.

558
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 12: Airlines say it could be several more days before they

559
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 12: are fully operational, but for the first time in two weeks,

560
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 12: nearly every air traffic control center in the country was

561
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 12: properly staffed.

562
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: The FAA says flight cuts will stay at six percent

563
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: instead of going to ten percent this weekend. The opening

564
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: ceremony for the twenty twenty eight Summer Games in LA

565
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: will be held July fourteenth at SOFI Stadium and the

566
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Coliseums. You can put it on your calendar.

567
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: The full schedule for games was released yesterday. The twenty

568
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: twenty eight Olympics will start with track and field events

569
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: and then end was swimming. That's a reverse from the

570
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four Games. Flag football makes its Olympic debut

571
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: on July fifteenth. Lacrosse is returning to the Olympics for

572
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: the first time since nineteen oh eight. It'll take place

573
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: in the second week of the Games. Another beloved cartoon

574
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: character that has entered the public domain is getting grizzly.

575
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: This time it's Betty Boop. The nineteen thirties girl who's

576
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 3: being turned into a gruesome villain by vm I Worldwide,

577
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 3: Your Mine and Monday. The creators have given their upcoming

578
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 3: film the ominous title Boop, and they're calling it a

579
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: true testament to feminism as well as a wildly violent,

580
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 3: ridiculously fun ride. Other characters who've been put into horror

581
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 3: movies since entering the public domain include Winnie the Pooh,

582
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: Mickey Mouse, and Popeye, Mark Ronner, Kfi Newsoo, Peter, that's just.

583
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: Wrong time to get in your business. Now with Bloomberg's

584
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: Denise Pellegrini. Good morning Denise, Yeah, good morning Amy.

585
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 13: You were talking about Christmas and how you like it

586
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 13: so much. My stepmom out there in California keeps the

587
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 13: tree and all the ornaments up all year long. Comes spring,

588
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 13: she just covers them up with pieces of cloth and

589
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 13: then she takes the cloth.

590
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: Okay, but around September. Okay, Hey, we were talking about movies,

591
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 1: and obviously these movies are ones that I'm not going

592
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: to go see. Slasher movies about Betty Boop and Winning

593
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: the Poop. But let's talk about Disney and its profits.

594
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, your listener wants you to talk less about the

595
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 13: holidays and more about Disney. Right, So here we go,

596
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 13: Disney blaming film studio expenses for weaker than expected results,

597
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 13: saying expenses tied to the theatrical release of Zootopia two and

598
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 13: Avatar Fire and Ash will cut earnings by four hundred

599
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 13: million bucks amy in the first quarter. Disney predicting, though

600
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 13: growth will intensify in the second half of the year,

601
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 13: investors aren't buying it today.

602
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: That stock is lower in the early going. Hey, when

603
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: that happens to Disney. NBC is launching a cable sports channel.

604
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: Guess they want to get in the sports game.

605
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 13: NBCSN will carry sports including NBA games, Premier League Soccer,

606
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 13: and also sports talk programming some Major League Baseball games

607
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 13: as well. NBC Universal hoping like you are indicating that

608
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 13: NBCSN can be offered in slimmed down on bundles through

609
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 13: pay TV distributors, and they'll have another way to make

610
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 13: money off all their sports content.

611
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: Alway's got to make more money. FanDuel is going to

612
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: debut Prediction Market. What's about that?

613
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, so it wants to rival Calshi And they're doing

614
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 13: this because they're facing a lot of competition now and

615
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 13: This move will theoretically allow FanDuel to open up in

616
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 13: states where traditional sports betting is illegal, including California. They'll

617
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 13: be introducing new mobile app, FanDuel Predicts, you can bet

618
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 13: on the outcome of sports and economic indicators as well.

619
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 13: Sports betting Futures will only be available in the states

620
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 13: where traditional online sports gambling is illegal, as FanDuel tries

621
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 13: to fend off other competitors like Calshi and Polymarket.

622
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: Okay, and then let's talk snacks, because I always like

623
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: a good snack and my favorite is Cheetos except for

624
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: the orange fingers that are left behind.

625
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 13: Yeah, and so I've got something to tell you about.

626
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 13: Pepsi is introducing what it's called naked versions of its

627
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 13: popular snacks, no artificial dye, so it won't make your

628
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 13: fingers turn orange, and it's all part of its push

629
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 13: to boost healthier options.

630
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: Amy.

631
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 13: They claim that these snacks without the artificial dye taste

632
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 13: exactly the same as the other ones.

633
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: So we're all making finger Yeah.

634
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, you just don't have to lick the orange off

635
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 13: your fingers, but you'll still want to lick your fingers

636
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 13: because you know.

637
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: That's part of the fun of it. Although they do

638
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: have the white cheddar Cheetos that don't stain your fingers.

639
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: They're pretty good. That one gets all over your clothes, though,

640
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: I know it looks like you have bad dandruff, right,

641
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: And then Trader joe what's up with Traders cornbread crisps? Okay?

642
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: So this is that sweet and savory snack.

643
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 4: You know.

644
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 13: They take the corn bread, they cut it up, they

645
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 13: bake it, they put some rock salt on it or whatever.

646
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 13: It's kind of a huge buzz on the internet this year.

647
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 13: It's not new at all. They have it every year

648
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 13: at this time, but it's sort of like the McRib

649
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 13: of Trader Joe's, which.

650
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,320

652
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 13: So that's how these companies get us. You know, they

653
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 13: make us wait all year long and then they give what,

654
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 13: you know, give us what we want for a couple

655
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 13: weeks to make us happy.

Speaker 1: are also now driving on freeways in the Bay area

679
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: and Phoenix, tw just minutes away from Handle. On the news,

680
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: the Dems have released some emails about Jeffrey Epstein talking

681
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: about President Trump. The White House says there's nothing to

682
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: see here. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Crime

683
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: and Terror analyst Brad Garrett. So, Brad, first was NBA.

684
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: Now it's the major leagues. What is up with these

685
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: sports betting scandals?

686
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 14: So let's go back to twenty eighteen for a couple

687
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 14: of seconds. Saving the Supreme Court authorized the case to

688
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 14: allow sports betting of the State Law thirty eight Some

689
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 14: odd states have now approved authorized sports betting, and as

690
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 14: a result, it's obviously a big cash cow for the states. Now,

691
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 14: the problem, of course, is that it is to really

692
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 14: increase the number of people that are involved in sports betting.

693
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 14: Now that's you know, that can be driven because the

694
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 14: availability you could have an app on your phone Fantasy

695
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 14: Football League, I think draws a lot of people that

696
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 14: maybe were somewhat passive about sports now more active because

697
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 14: they can you know, build their virtual teams and you

698
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 14: know and have fun with other people, family, friends, etc.

699
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 14: So the point being is that gambling is now more

700
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 14: much more in our face. But you've got the reality

701
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 14: of two things. One, mainly why we're talking this morning

702
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 14: is because of professional athletes that are willing to basically

703
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 14: throw a game for lack of a better terms, underperform, overperform,

704
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 14: go out staining an injury, go out of a game,

705
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 14: change the way they pitch, all sorts of things to

706
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 14: basically control the outcome of the game based on how

707
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 14: people have bet. And that's what all these recent federal

708
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 14: indictments are alleging. The other side of this, obviously that's

709
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 14: not part of this, but it is part of the story,

710
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 14: is the number of people that are now addicted to gambling.

711
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 14: And the people who treat folks for gambling addiction, they

712
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 14: say they're just off the charts for clients.

713
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: Well, that yeah, when you make it that easy. I mean,

714
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: like imagine living in Las Vegas at a casino, and

715
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of what it is. It is just right

716
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: there you can get to at anytime.

717
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 14: I mean, one therapist stated that he had a client

718
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 14: or as a client, that that's in the shower, that's

719
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 14: why they're making breakfast, that BET's on their way to work.

720
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 14: I mean, just because to your point, you can if

721
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 14: you've got your phone in front of you, you can

722
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 14: do it. And people that are prone or you don't

723
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 14: have some predisposition, whether it need be genetics or otherwise,

724
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 14: to become addicted to stuff. I mean, this is just

725
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 14: like fire for them. So there's that whole side of

726
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 14: the story too. Which but you know why professional athletes,

727
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 14: some of them that have made you know, over one

728
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 14: hundred million dollars in their career playing in whatever professional sport,

729
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 14: would then get involved in rigged poker games as these

730
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 14: indictments allege or commit what we just talked about, you know,

731
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 14: rigging games by you know, telling people I'm going to underperform,

732
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 14: so bet that way through prop bets.

733
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is kind of interesting to think about it.

734
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, I mean, these professional athletes, the good ones,

735
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: can make millions of dollars a year and they would

736
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: literally throw that a way for people who are going

737
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: to win a fifty thousand dollars bet or something like that.

738
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: But it's nothing new. I mean, they've got Pete Rose,

739
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: of course, you've got the White Sox and shoeless Joe

740
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: Jackson over the years. It's just now it's more prevalent.

741
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: So is there anything that can be done about it.

742
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 14: Well, I don't know. I mean one aspect is, according

743
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 14: to these indictments, one way they have caught some folks

744
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 14: is that the sports betting apparatus keep crack of betting obviously,

745
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 14: and they can look for anomalies. Anomalies mean, you know, unusual. Well,

746
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 14: let's say that you played for the Lakers and there's

747
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 14: a lot of betting on you to underperform at particular games.

748
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 14: That would be an anomaly, and so they can dig

749
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 14: deeper into that and then figure out maybe, again, according

750
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 14: to these indictments, that the players are on purpose under

751
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 14: or overperforming. Tell some people have gotten caught. So that's

752
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 14: an apparatus, But you know, how much of that can

753
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 14: they catch? How sophisticated are the players that are maybe

754
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 14: predisposed to be involved in this type of behavior. I mean,

755
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 14: it's I don't do I see it going away? The answers, No,

756
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 14: it's just too pervasive in society for people to want

757
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 14: to bet, and you're going to have a percentage of athletes, unfortunately,

758
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 14: that are willing to push those limits.

759
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 8: Now you can look.

760
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 14: At the personality profile of maybe players that are more

761
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 14: predisposed to do this. You know that the studies would

762
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 14: suggest that, you know, they're arrogant, they lack empathy, they're

763
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 14: sort of antisocial and their baseline thinking and they're just

764
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 14: like getting over on people and they see a way

765
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 14: of making a lot more money on the side that

766
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 14: nobody knows about. So does that drive some of this?

767
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 14: I think probably it does.

768
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 1: All right, Well, so good to note not going away,

769
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: and I am just glad that I am not on

770
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: these wedding sites because I think it could be very dangerous.

771
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: ABC's Crime and Terry analyst Brad Garrett, Thanks so much

772
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: for the info. We'll talk to you.
