26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: to get to today, so let's get right to it.

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. The fatal shooting

28
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: of Alex Pretty by a US Border Patrol agent in

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 2: Minneapolis was the second federal killing in the city this month.

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: Federal officials and video evidence conflict over whether Preddy was

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: armed when he was shot. In State leaders have won

32
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: a court order to preserve evidence as protests continue. A

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,640

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: Anaheim early Sunday morning. It happened just after midnight on

35
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: North Lemon Street near the ninety one freeway. When is

00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: cars off the road and sending four others to the hospital.

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: More than ten thousand flights within the US into or

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: out of US have been canceled as much of the

40
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: eastern portion of the country is battered by winter storm.

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: We'll want more details on that throughout the morning. Here's

42
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: what's title on wake Up. Contents are high in Minneapolis

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: after a Federal Border Patrol agent fatally shot a Minneapolis

00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: man five point twenty. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: pledging to vote against a major government funding bill. We'll

46
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: have details on that. And a new poll shows public

47
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: confidence in US immigration and customs enforcement is slipping. We'll

48
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: tell you where voters stand. And a massive Arctic blast

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: is finally loosening its grip just a bit. We'll have

50
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: details on what's happening with that big storm making its

51
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: way across the country. Our talk back question today, I

52
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: want to hear from you since Amy is off for

53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,200

Speaker 2: treat herself to some breakfast or brunch, but I don't

Speaker 2: know if she's gonna do that.

61
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,680

00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: Where do you go?

70
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: Then at six oh five, it's Handle on the news.

71
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: Hundreds of protesters made their way to downtown LA last

72
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: night to denounce the shooting of Alex Pretty by federal

73
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: agents in Minneapolis. We're gonna tell you what their message

74
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: was to the federal government. All right, there is heightened

75
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: tension this morning in Minneapolis after the Border patrol agents

76
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: shot and killed thirty seven year old va I see

77
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: you nurse Alex Pretty. ABC News has reviewed and verified

78
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: new video of the shooting, showing the encounter that began

79
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: minutes earlier than first reported. Joining US now is ABC's

80
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: Peter Haral Lamboos with more details.

81
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: Good morning, Peter, Good morning, Thanks for having me.

82
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: All right, so what do the videos show about how

83
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: this encounter actually began?

84
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, So, in total, we've reviewed at this point six

85
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 6: different videos showing this encounter, and overall, they paint a

86
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 6: starkly different picture than what DHS and federal authorities originally

87
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 6: said took place here. If you look at all these videos,

88
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 6: at no point do you see Preddy ever draw his

89
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 6: gun or even appear to gopher the gun if anything.

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 6: At one point he's pinted the floor by five different agents,

91
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 6: and you can clearly see one of these agents disarm

92
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 6: him remove the gun from his person just a second

93
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,559
Speaker 6: before the first shot was fired. According to an audio

94
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 6: analysis conducted of those videos, in total, ten shots were

95
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 6: fired in less than five seconds. Preddie was announced dead

96
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 6: at the scene.

97
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: Now, you know, I was here on Saturday morning at

98
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: KFI covering this when it was first coming out, you know,

99
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: and when news breaks like this, there's a lot of

100
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: initial information that we're getting. Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong.

101
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 2: And when there's some time to go back and actually

102
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: investigate and take a closer look and see what was

103
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: actually happening, more details start to come out. So, I know,

104
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: initially they said a couple of shots were fired, that

105
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: he was you know, the government came out and said

106
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: they were brandishing a weapon. I believe Christy Nomes said that.

107
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: But how clear is it in the video that pretty

108
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: was holding a phone and not a weapon.

109
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, at this point, the fact that he was holding

110
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 6: a phone the entire time, for at least three minutes

111
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 6: before the first shot was fired is abundantly clear. You

112
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 6: can see him in video about at about eight fifty

113
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 6: eight am that morning holding up his phone towards officers

114
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 6: as if he's recording them while they're conducting a nearby arrest.

115
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 6: And then the altercation escalates. You can see a Border

116
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 6: patrol officer basically push a woman towards him, and then

117
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 6: he tries to intervene in this encounter, he appears to

118
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 6: raise his hand to kind of get between him and

119
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 6: the woman in this Border patrol officer, and that's when

120
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 6: he's pinned at the ground and with a matter of seconds,

121
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 6: that's when.

122
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 4: He is shot.

123
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 6: So you know, at no point you see the gun,

124
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 6: and at every point is quite clear from these videos

125
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 6: that he's just holding his phone up to record the encounter.

126
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: Now, what stands out about the moment that an officer

127
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: appears to take Preddy's gun and how sure are we

128
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 2: that that is actually Preddy's gun and not another gun.

129
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a great question because a lot of these

130
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 6: original videos were kind of blurry, so it's hard to

131
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 6: say at first, you know, is that exactly the gun

132
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 6: that we saw photos of from the President Trump and

133
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 6: from the Department of Home Land Security. But in addition

134
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 6: to those videos being clearer now where you can actually

135
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 6: see from multiple angles, this officer kind of walked, you know,

136
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 6: leaving this scrum with the gun. Just minutes later, you

137
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 6: can see that same officer returned to the other officers

138
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 6: at this point pretty is dead and you can hear

139
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 6: that officers say I got the gun. I got the gun,

140
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 6: just you know, a few minutes after he was originally

141
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 6: seen disarming Preddy.

142
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: So what does the video timeline compare with the federal

143
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: account of the events.

144
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, so it appears the shooting actually took place around

145
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 6: nine oh one, a few minutes earlier than anticipated. But

146
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 6: the real big thing is it really times contradicts federal

147
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 6: claims about what took place here. Federal authority said that

148
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 6: he brandished his weapon, that he attacked officers, that he withdrew,

149
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 6: that he deholstered his weapon, But at really no points

150
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 6: in the video do you see any of those claims

151
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 6: to materialize. It appears to be a case of someone

152
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 6: who is trying to record police officers and someone who's

153
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 6: trying to get in the way. After a Border patrol

154
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 6: officer shoved in nearby woman when things truly escalated, and

155
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 6: he appears to have been shot at least five times.

156
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: Now when I watched you know, a lot of people

157
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: have seen the initial video, which by the way, you

158
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: can find on our website KFI AM six forty dot

00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: com as well as our social media. When I first

160
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: saw the video, you know, most people have seen just

161
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: those clips, you know, a minute or so where the

162
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: actual shooting happens, but there's a few minutes that happened

163
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: before that as well, where he's in the street waving

164
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: cars on and it doesn't appear to be that he's

165
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: agitating anyone in that moment. Either. Have you reviewed those

166
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: videos or that portion of the video.

167
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's exactly right, in those three minutes before the

168
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 6: shooting took place, and no point does he appear to

169
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 6: be agitating officers from a distance. He appears to be

170
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 6: recording these officers. At one point you can see officers

171
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 6: kind of push him, approach him with pepper spray, but

172
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 6: you know, he continues to record from a distance. At

173
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 6: one point you even see him directing traffic as two

174
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 6: other individuals appear to have some kind of verbal exchange

175
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 6: with officers. In all, it seems like the Border Patrol

176
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 6: officer actually was the one who approached Preddy. He was

177
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 6: the one who initially shoved a woman into pretty, then

178
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 6: shoved Preddy himself, and then tried to shove a third woman,

179
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 6: all of that leading Preddi to try to intervene, and

180
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 6: at that point when he gets pulled to the so

181
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 6: you know, he doesn't show at any point in those

182
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 6: three minute signs of aggressiveness, any indication that he might

183
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 6: be trying to go for his weapon. It is very

184
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 6: clear in these videos that he's just holding up his phone.

185
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: All right, Peter, thank you so much for this further clarification.

186
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: We appreciate your time this morning.

187
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: Thank you.

188
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's get back to some of the stories

189
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Governor

190
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,239
Speaker 2: Newsom says he has nothing to do with the misuse

191
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: of homeless funds in LA.

192
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 3: Newsom took to X shortly after the arrest of the

193
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: CEO of a homeless charity in LA who's accused of

194
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: spending millions on himself and not the homeless, saying it's

195
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 3: totally false to say that he's involved in any way

196
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: in the fraud. First Assistant US Attorney Bill of Saley

197
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: responded to the post saying that Newsom and the California

198
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: legislature facilitated the fraud by handing out billions of taxpayer

199
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: dollars to nonprofits with zero vetting and zero state oversight.

200
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: Jason Campedonia, KFI.

201
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: News assistant US attorney in California, bill A Sale posted

202
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: on x that approaching law enforcement with a firearm could

203
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: make an officer legally justified in shooting. The remarks were

204
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: in response to the Minneapolis killing of Alex Pretty by

205
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: federal agents. Polisse Pretti was a lawful gun owner. The

206
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: NRA called his comments quote dangerous and wrong, saying officials

207
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: should wait for a full investigation rather than generalize about

208
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: lawful carriers. Federal funding for California's high speed rail project

209
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: has ended and the project will not be eligible for

210
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: future of federal money under a bill passed in the House.

211
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: Congressman Kevin Kylie says the project has faced delays, cost overruns,

212
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: and management problems.

213
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 7: The high speed rail project is the biggest public infrastructure

214
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 7: failure in United States history.

215
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: He says nearly seven billion dollars in federal money has

216
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: been spent on the project over fifteen years with no

217
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: high speed rail track being laid. The Bullet Train was

218
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: approved by voters in two thousand and eight and was

219
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: supposed to be done in twenty twenty. Thousands of Kaiser

220
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: permanent nurses and healthcare workers in La and Oc are

221
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: walking off the job today. Their unfair labor practices strike

222
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: is set to start at seven o'clock this morning and

Speaker 2: facilities will remain open, though some pharmacies may be closed,

225
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 2: and patients will be contacted if appointments or procedures have

226
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: to be rescheduled. Former fugitive Ryan Wedding is due in

227
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: federal court this morning or this afternoon, rather days after

228
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: being caught in Mexico. Wedding is facing charges of running

229
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: a drug trafficking organization with the Sinaloa cartel and ordering

230
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 2: a witness killed. He was on the FBI's most wanted

231
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: list in FBI Director Cash Betel announced his arrest last week.

232
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: He went from an Olympic snowboarder to the largest narco

233
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: trafficker in modern times.

234
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 3: He is a modern day El Chapel. He is a

235
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 3: modern day Pablo Escobar and he thought he could evade justice.

236
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: He was caught Thursday in Mexico City. The massive winter

237
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: storm that hit most of the country this weekend caused

238
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: more than eleven one thousand flights to be canceled in

239
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,319

240
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 2: yesterday at some of the nation's busiest airports. One analytics

241
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: company says it was the highest cancelation rate since the pandemic.

242
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: The storm is now moving through the northeastern US, with

243
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: heavy snow falling from New York to New England. A

244
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: federal judge is said to hear arguments today on whether

245
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: to pause immigration enforcement in Minnesota. The state and the

246
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul sued the Department of

247
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: Homeland Security two weeks ago. They want to restore conditions

248
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: to how they were before the Trump administration's Operation Metro

249
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: Surge began in December. Justice Department lawyers have called this

250
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 2: lawsuit legally frivolous. Deputy Attorney Todd Attorney General Rather Todd

251
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,959

252
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: He told NBC's Meet the Press he believes federal agents

253
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: have been acting humanly.

254
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 8: It is a very difficult place to be going out

255
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 8: and trying to arrest these violent felons with no support

256
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 8: from local law enforcement, with no support from the governor.

257
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: He says it's challenging for agents to do their jobs,

258
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: and he believes the protest are not peaceful. A car

259
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: jumped to curb and hit pedestrians near Sunset and Kowenga

260
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon. Two people were hospitalized. Minutes later, a second

261
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: crash happened just to block away, this time involving an

262
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: LAPD vehicle, and the European Union has opened a formal

263
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 2: investigation into Elon Musk's social media platform X after his

264
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence chat bot Grok started sharing nonconsitual sexualized deep

265
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: fake images on the platform. And the Seattle Seahawks will

266
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: advance to the Super Bowl, beating LA thirty one to

267
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: twenty seven in the NFC Championship game. Today's talkback question,

268
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: do take the day off for your birthday? Press that

269
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: talkback button on the iHeartRadio app and let me know

270
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: six oh five it's handle on the news. Presidents Lindsay

271
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: says Ukraine is one hundred percent ready to sign a

272
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: US security agreement. We'll tell you what the key sticking

273
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 2: point is. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schuber has said he

274
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: will vote against a sweeping government funding package, largely because

275
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: it includes money for the Department of Homeland Security. ABC's

276
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: is Stephen Portnoy joins us now with details. Good morning, Stephen,

277
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: are you there, Yes, good morning, Yes to you. I

278
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: can hear you. Now there we go. Okay, So walk

279
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: us through where things stand in the Senate and what

280
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: Schumer's position means for this funding fight.

281
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 8: Well, last week, the House sent to the Senate a

282
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 8: wide ranging funding bill that would, among other things, provide

283
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 8: funding for the Pentagon HHS. Right, so, think of the

284
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 8: CDC and the FDA. Inside of that HUD, the Departments

285
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 8: of Labor, Education, Transportation, it would fund flood insurance, food assistance,

286
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 8: and critically, the Department of Homeland Security. Now, Democrats say,

287
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 8: as a result of what they saw in Minneapolis over

288
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 8: the last weekend, they want the Homeland secu hereaty portion

289
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 8: of this bill stripped out. They say they'd be willing

290
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 8: to accept the funding for all those other agencies, but

291
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 8: not DHS procedurally, Even if Senate Republicans were to agree

292
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 8: to that, and there's no indication that they will. The

293
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 8: House is out of town the rest of the week,

294
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 8: it would have to go back to the House for

295
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 8: final passage. The funding deadline is Friday, which means that

296
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 8: as long as Democrats maintain this position, a wide ranging

297
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 8: partial shutdown is likely at the end of the week.

298
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 8: That would effect all the agencies I mentioned, and it

299
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 8: would still leave ICE with tens of billions of dollars

300
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 8: for its enforcement and removal operations, because the GOP led Congress,

301
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 8: on a party line basis, through the One Big Beautiful

302
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 8: Bill last year, approved that funding. So even if there's

303
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 8: a shutdown that affects all these agencies, wouldn't be complete shutdown,

304
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 8: but it would affect a lot of government agencies. Even

305
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 8: if that happens, ICE would still continue operating with tens

306
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 8: of billions of dollars that it has to rely on.

307
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: So how unusual is it for I know Chuck Schumer

308
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: is saying, they're calling it the I will vote no stances.

309
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: I will vote no stance. How unusual is it for

310
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: a Senate leader to take such a public position against

311
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: a major funding package like that.

312
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 8: It's not at all unusual. It happens all the time,

313
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 8: but what is interesting is that it's happening at this

314
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 8: moment of national interest and focus and against a shutdown deadline.

315
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 8: And so we'll have another crisis moment where Democrats will

316
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 8: try to draw public attention to this issue and Democrats

317
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 8: and Republicans will have it out and we'll see what happens.

318
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 8: But ultimately, the Democrats are trying to exact some leverage

319
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 8: here and say, hello, ladies and gentlemen of the country,

320
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 8: this is a matter of concern and hope that they

321
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 8: can achieve some sort of compromise, But I don't know

322
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 8: what that will be. You're up against a deadline. You've

323
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 8: got an administration that is not about to rein itself

324
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 8: in it seems when it comes to how ICE is operating.

325
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 8: You have a couple of key court hearings that are

326
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 8: scheduled today in Minneapolis where federal judges are going to

327
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 8: be asked to look at ICE's operations. That was a

328
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 8: pending case that was filed after renee Good was killed.

329
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 8: And now you have the shooting of Alex Preddy.

330
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 9: You have.

331
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 8: The administration arguing that this is what the people voted for.

332
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 8: They wanted to see an increase of interior enforcement of

333
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 8: immigration law. The Democrats are taking the opposite side. They say,

334
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 8: this is an agency that has gone rogue and is

335
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 8: now affecting the rights of American citizens, and two American

336
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 8: citizens have been killed by officials of this agency. Now

337
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 8: the argument is, while they put themselves in that position, well,

338
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 8: what exactly are American citizens supposed to do or allowed

339
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 8: to do? That's the critical question and it informs the debate.

340
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: Well, we will certainly be keeping a close eye on

341
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: what develops over the next week here, and hopefully we

342
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: will not have another government shutdown. So, Steven Portnoy, I

343
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: know we'll be talking to you more about this throughout

344
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: the week. Thank you so much for your time, ney Bet.

345
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out

346
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The northeastern US

347
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 2: is getting the last of a massive winter storm that

348
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 2: dumps snow, sleet, and ice across much of the country

349
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: over the weekend. The storm caused flight cancelations, widespread power outages,

350
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: and stopped road traffic in many areas, and the heaviest

351
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 2: snow is now falling from New York northward into New England.

352
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: Been watching some of the video and it looks very

353
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: tough out there. I do not miss the snow whether

354
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: I feel very lucky that we are all nice and

355
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 2: cozy here in Sonocow round A. Two hundred and seventy

356
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: millions Americans are starting the week with this severe weather conditions.

357
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: That's extreme cold stretching from Texas, Louisiana, and Florida.

358
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 10: Even in normally mild conrod Texas, just north of Houston.

359
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 3: Our goal is to become an emergency shelter in emergency

360
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 3: situations like this.

361
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 10: Pastor Jerry Vineyard has opened the doors of his church

362
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 10: to anyone needing shelter from the sub freezing temperatures.

363
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 3: We have a medical clinic on site, laundry showers, the

364
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 3: whole gammon.

365
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 10: He says that about sixty people stayed inside the church

366
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 10: sanctuary over the weekend.

367
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: We're going to hear more from ABC's Jim Ryan there

368
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: on the storm damage and coverage coming up later on

369
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: in the show. President Trump has blamed officials in Minnesota

370
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: for the fatal shooting of thirty seven year old ICU

371
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: nurse Alex Pretty in Minneapolis. Freddy was killed by federal

372
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 2: agents during an ICE enforcement operation. On Saturday, Trump posted

373
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 2: on social media that Democrats have encouraged people to obstruct

374
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: law enforcement operations. US Attorney General Pambondi outlined conditions under

375
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: which ICE and other federal agents could reduce their presence

376
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: in Minnesota, including requiring the state to share records on

377
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 2: Medicaid and SNAP recipients with the federal government, repeal so

378
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: called sanctuary policies, and allow the DOJ's Civil Rights Division

379
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: access to Minnesota's voter rolls to check compliance with the

380
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: federal law. Pretti's parents have spoken publicly about their son.

381
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 4: They cared about people deeply, and he was very upset

382
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 4: with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout.

383
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 11: The United States.

384
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: In a statement, Michael Pretty and his wife Susan described

385
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 2: Alex as a kind hearted soul who cared deeply for

386
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 2: his family and friends, and also the American veterans whom

387
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 2: he cared for as an ic U nurse at the

388
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 2: Minneapolis VA Hospital. About three hundred protesters showed up in

389
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: downtown LA last night, and many more across the US

390
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: condemned the fatal shooting of Pretty by federal agents. Crowds

391
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 2: in downtown La chanted slogans like when the streets get hot,

392
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 2: ice melts, and ISIS terrorism isn't limited to Minneapolis. The

393
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: estranged husband of if a woman found dead off a

394
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: road and cressline has been arrested at its home in

395
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: Rolling Hills. The woman's body was found in November about

396
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: seventy five feet down a steep embankment along State Road

397
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 2: one thirty eight. She was from Newport Beach and had

398
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: previously been reported missing.

399
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 12: To approach that could literally change everything for you at

400
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 12: Hogue Orthopedic.

401
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: Here's whe're following. In the KFI twenty four hour newsroom,

402
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 2: a new UCLA report shows a sharp shift in immigration enforcement.

403
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: Detension of Latino immigrants without criminal records have surged over

404
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: the past two years. Monthly arrests jumped sixfold, driven by

405
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: workplace and public sweeps. Most detainees were held weeks longer,

406
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: and nearly nine to ten were ultimately deported. Ukraine's president

407
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: says a US security guaranteed document is ready to go.

408
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 2: Vladimir Zelinsky says a deal is awaiting a signing date,

409
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: and officials in the Philippines say fifteen people have died

410
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: when a ferry with more than three hundred and fifty

411
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 2: on board sank this morning near an island in the

412
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: southern Philippines. We're taking your talk back questions. That are

413
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: talkback questions. I have a talkback question for you. Today.

414
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: Tomorrow is Amy King's birthday. She took today off to

415
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 2: sort of enjoy it. But I want to hear from you.

416
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: Do you take the day off for your birthday or

417
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 2: do you just go on into work and maybe celebrate

418
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 2: another time, or do you take it off and treat yourself.

419
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you. Six oh five, it's

420
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: handled on the news. The NRA is calling for an

421
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 2: investigation into the shooting of a US citizen by federal

422
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: agents in Minneapolis. We're going to tell you what they're

423
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: calling dangerous and wrong. Public sentiment towards ICE appears to

424
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 2: be shifting. Poles show a significant portion of Americans now

425
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: disapprove of ICE's actions and its tactics. Joining us now

426
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 2: is ABC News political analyst Steve Roberts.

427
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 4: Good morning, Steve, Look, good morning, Heather, and Look, there's

428
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 4: no doubt that Donald Trump's basic policy now for many years,

429
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 4: building a wall protecting America is a popular policy, and

430
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 4: even today New York Times poll, about fifty percent still

431
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 4: support that, but the ground is shifted because now these

432
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 4: ICE agents and border patrol agents who were seen as

433
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 4: heroes protecting the homeland against what Trump kept calling the

434
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 4: invasion of rapists and drug dealers across the southern border,

435
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: they're now patrolling American cities like Minneapolis and Bristling with

436
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 4: military weapons and masks. And they don't look like protectors.

437
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 4: They look like invaders. They look menacing. And now that

438
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 4: you've had the killing of two American citizens on the

439
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 4: streets of Minneapolis, public opinion has shifted rather sharply against

440
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 4: what was once a popular administration policy. New York Times poll,

441
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 4: which actually was taken before the second killing, found that

442
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: sixty one percent the ICE has gone too far, sixty

443
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 4: three percent disapprove of ICE tactics, and only thirty six

444
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 4: percent to prove, and thirty six percent is just about

445
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 4: MAGA nation just about thirty five. Thirty six percent has

446
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 4: always been the hardcore base of Trump support. So you

447
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 4: see a very definite shift here. And you mentioned the

448
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 4: Second Amendment. This is also one of the things that's

449
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 4: really bedeubling the administration because the nurse who was killed

450
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: in Minneapolis was carrying a gun, but he had a

451
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 4: legal permit to do so, and clearly he was not

452
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 4: as the administration alleged, he was not branded seing it,

453
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 4: he was not threatening people with it. Now you have

454
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 4: gun owners in the NRA who have been very strong

455
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 4: supporters of Trump saying, wait, you're accusing this guy. You're

456
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 4: not just violating his First Amendment rights, you're violating his

457
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 4: Second Amendment rights because he had a lawful right to

458
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 4: carry that gun and he was shot for it. So

459
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 4: this is not a good political position for the administration

460
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 4: to be in right now.

461
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: So let's talk about then, how these pulling in this

462
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 2: sentiment towards Ice might shape the political landscape as we

463
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 2: head into the midterms this year. How's that going to

464
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 2: impact that?

465
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 4: Well, it's a good question. And of course, look, voters

466
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 4: in California and everywhere else, their first, second, and third

467
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 4: issue is always the economy. It's always their own family budgets.

468
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 4: And the core of Trump's political problems has not been ice.

469
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 4: It has been prices. And the single biggest reason he

470
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 4: got elected a second time was because folks were unhappy

471
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 4: with the failure of the Biden administration. The control prices

472
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 4: and now they're blaming Trump for that. So the economy

473
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 4: is always going to be the major issue in the midterms,

474
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 4: but immigration is always been a strong point for Trump,

475
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 4: and it can't help Republican candidates to have this political

476
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 4: problem piled on top of the rising discontent with the

477
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 4: failure of the Trump administration to keep its promise to

478
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 4: control prices, by the way, I promise that they've been

479
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 4: never going to be able to keep because it's really

480
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 4: outside the power of any president to really control prices.

481
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 4: So this is an added political problem. But in the

482
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 4: end next November, the single biggest issue is not going

483
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,239
Speaker 4: to be immigration. It's always going to be inflation in

484
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 4: the prices.

485
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 2: So we just taught to Peter Harrolamboos a little while

486
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 2: ago about the video that's been widely circulated that showed

487
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: Alex Preddie's involvement and pardon me, I was losing my

488
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: voice a little bit there, involvement with the Federal Immigration

489
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: Enforcement and the officers who fired and all of that.

490
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 2: So I want to talk about how the video has

491
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: affected public perception versus broader concerns about the immigration policies.

492
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 4: It's a good question, and you know, Governor Wallas of

493
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 4: Minnesota said two things. He has urged citizens to carry

494
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 4: phones with them and record any confrontations with ICE agents,

495
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 4: and he had said this over the weekend. Thank god

496
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 4: we have these videos. In an earlier age, it would

497
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 4: have been far easier for the administration authorities and law

498
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 4: enforcement to seize the narrative and control what people knew

499
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 4: about a killing like this, and they tried to control

500
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 4: the narrative. Christy Noman others went on TV immediately after

501
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 4: both killings and say these were terrorists, domestic terrorism. They

502
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 4: kept saying the word terrorism as loud and as often

503
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 4: as they could. But these videos are generated not by

504
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 4: professional videographers, but by the citizens, contradict the official line,

505
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 4: and it marks a shift in power. This really goes

506
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 4: back to Rodney King. Folks in Los Angeles very well

507
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 4: aware of that historic example. But you had the same

508
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 4: phenomenon five years ago with the killing of Curege Floyd,

509
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 4: where one individual recorded it on a cell phone and

510
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 4: contradicted the basic narrative. But this second killing, in some

511
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 4: ways is even clearer than the first one. That every

512
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 4: single news organization, independent professional organization that has examined the

513
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 4: video has come to the same conclusion, which is, as

514
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 4: the New York Times put it this morning, Trump and

515
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 4: his allies are quote lying to our faces. That was

516
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 4: the headline in the New York Times, lying to our

517
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: faces by trying to say that a nurse who was

518
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 4: killed was brandishing a weapon and threatening ice agents and

519
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 4: intends on massacurring. It not true, flat out not true.

520
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 4: And every single news organization has looked at the video

521
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 4: has come to the same conclusion. That's not the Democrats

522
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 4: saying that that's independent professional Yeah.

523
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: That video, that video evidence is very powerful. Well, Steve Roberts,

524
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: we always appreciate your analysis. Thank you so much for

525
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: your time this morning, anytime, Heather, All right, time to

526
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: get into your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. Good morning, Denise,

527
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: Hey Heather, how are you doing?

528
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 11: Good?

529
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: Good? Okay, so bad news. If you heat your home

530
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: with natural gas, tell me about that.

531
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

532
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 7: Of course, a lot of people in Los Angeles don't

533
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 7: obviously heat all year lung, but natural gas is one

534
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 7: of the main sources of heat for those who like

535
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 7: to have their place nice and cozy in the winter,

536
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 7: and with all the storms around, natural gas prices they're

537
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 7: up significantly just today alone, up another thirteen percent. The

538
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 7: winter storm estimated to have knocked offline almost ten percent

539
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 7: of US net gas production, and prices have almost double

540
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 7: in the past week or so. So that's going to

541
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 7: hit consumers hard when it does. Okay, I'm going to

542
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 7: jump ahead to one of your topics here. You might

543
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 7: get a big fat tax refund this year. Woh tell

544
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 7: me more. Yeah, this is because of all the tax

545
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 7: deductions new deductions for some people in President Trump's big

546
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 7: beautiful bill. Some say that tax refunds this year there

547
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 7: could be as much as thirty percent bigger. Okay, and

548
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 7: USA Today says, if you want to get it fast,

549
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 7: use direct deposit. Wall Street Journal says, and this is important.

550
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 7: If you think you might be getting more deductions and

551
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 7: a bigger refund this year, that's actually a sign that

552
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 7: you need to go to your employer and ask them

553
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 7: to withhold less right, claim more deductions withhold less, so

554
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 7: that instead of getting another big fat refund in twenty

555
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 7: twenty seven for twenty twenty six, you don't overpay and

556
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 7: withholding so much to begin with. You get your money earlier,

557
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 7: use it earlier, use it to pay off some credit

558
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 7: card bills or maybe even invest a little bit of it.

559
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: Okay, And some good news for people who fly Southwest

560
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: or good news or bad news, depending on how you

561
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: look at it. The assigned seating starts tomorrow.

562
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean for people who are really into the

563
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 7: Southwest culture where you know they're a budget carrier, right,

564
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 7: but you kind of line up and you know it's

565
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 7: kind of a free for all for seating. Now they're

566
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,479
Speaker 7: changing this to assigned seating. I don't know if it's

567
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 7: good news for consumers. Maybe if you like Southwest, but

568
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 7: you really don't like that rush for a seat. They

569
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 7: are now announcing seating options like extra legroom, right and

570
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 7: preferred seats. So with the assigned seating comes the fact

571
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 7: that they can upsell you on the seats, right, And.

572
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: It's all about the money.

573
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 7: And the other thing is they're asking people who are

574
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 7: large to pay for that second seat. They used to

575
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 7: be the airline where people didn't have to do that.

576
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 7: Now people have to pay for that second seat. They

577
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 7: might get a refund if a flight's not full, though,

578
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 7: but there's a lot of uncertainty over that. People not

579
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 7: too happy about that.

580
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 2: All right, Denise, thank you so much for your time

581
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: This morning, a woman has dyed after a medical emergency

582
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 2: while driving near Catalina Island. The sixty four year old

583
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: became distressed while driving near Casino Point. Witnesses helped bring

584
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: her ashore and called nine one one. LA police are

585
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: trying to find two teenagers who shot and killed a

586
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: man of the Vermont Vista area of South LA. Police

587
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 2: say the boys walked up to the man on Saturday

588
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: afternoon and shot him twice during a confrontation. And stars

589
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: of the hit hockey romance Hated Rivalry helped carry the

590
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: Olympic flame in Italy. We're taking your talkback question today.

591
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: Amy's birthday is tomorrow, but she took today off, which

592
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: is why I'm here to do a little R and

593
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: R and good for her. You know that's what I say.

594
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you. Do you take the

595
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: day off for your birthday? Hit the talkback button on

596
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app and let me know if you do.

597
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 2: What do you do when you take the day off.

598
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: Then at six oh five, it's handled on the news.

599
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: President Trump has a new secret weapon. We're going to

600
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 2: tell you what it's called and how he plans to

601
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 2: use it. So we've been tracking this winter storm moving

602
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 2: across the country and now we're seeing some of the

603
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: aftermath of this massive arctic blast. Joining us now is

604
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: ABC's Jim Ryan from Texas.

605
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 7: Good morning, Jim, Morning Heather.

606
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 10: Yeah. One side effect of this flight cancelations so far today,

607
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 10: thirty eight hundred flight cancelations across the country. Now a

608
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 10: lot of these are from this Friday. They actually the

609
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 10: airline started canceling flights on Friday to sure that people

610
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 10: didn't get to the airport just sit there and wait

611
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 10: for a flight that wasn't going anywhere. So some of

612
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 10: these cancelations extend back that far. But jeez, thirty eight hundred,

613
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 10: twelve hundred delays today, This is going to have a

614
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 10: sweeping effect across the country. DFW Airport right here in

615
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 10: the middle of the country is a major hub, and

616
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 10: with so many flights canceled here, you're going to see

617
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 10: the ripple effect out across the country as well.

618
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: So I know you're based in Texas and that was

619
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: one of my questions. What is the weather like for you?

620
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 2: Have you been safe over the past several days?

621
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 4: Oh?

622
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 10: Yes, staying inside, keeping warm. Right now, it's eleven degrees

623
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 10: eleven degrees in Dallas Ward, where that's very rare. I mean,

624
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 10: we're gonna set some low temperature record sized suspect around

625
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 10: the state, even Houston. As far as south as Houston.

626
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 10: They're having to do de icing operations because of the

627
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 10: flight delays created by the making sure that these flights

628
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 10: are safe.

629
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 2: Okay, So where are some of the conditions improving and

630
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: where are people still digging out?

631
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 10: Well, it's the precipitation started in New Mexico and then

632
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 10: started extending to the northeast from there all the way

633
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 10: up to the northeast coast of Boston, New York, Washington.

634
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 10: The precipitation now has stopped in the same sort of pattern,

635
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 10: leaving behind some extreme snow totals. The highest snow total

636
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 10: was in New Mexico. Bonita Lake near Rio Dooso had

637
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 10: thirty one inches of snow over the weekend thirty one inches. Boston, though,

638
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 10: had almost two feet of snow as well. So yeah,

639
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 10: they're still feeling that of effect. They're lingering after effect though,

640
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 10: is all the ice school districts across this area closed.

641
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,479
Speaker 10: Millions of kids are sitting at home and that's likely

642
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 10: to last possibly until the middle of the week when

643
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 10: all this ice is gone.

644
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: So for people who haven't been in a major snowstorm

645
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: like that, thirty one inches and two or two feet

646
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: of snow is a tremendous amount of snow. I know,

647
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 2: I grew up in the Midwest, and that is a

648
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: lot of snow. And probably what's more dangerous in a

649
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: lot of cases is that ice that you mentioned.

650
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, go ahead.

651
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 10: Well the ice, yeah, the on the roads course makes

652
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 10: things slip it a bit. It also, you know, it's

653
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 10: on the power lines too, and it takes just about

654
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 10: half an inch of ice on power lines to weigh

655
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 10: that thing down to the point that it breaks. And

656
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 10: so we do have power out of shoes across the

657
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 10: country eight hundred and nineteen thousand. The total was over

658
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 10: a million just a day or so ago, and so

659
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 10: that is getting better now.

660
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: Authorities say there have been three deaths connected to the storm.

661
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: What do we know about how the people died.

662
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 10: Well, those were the initial that was the initial count yesterday.

663
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 10: Now where it's almost twenty A lot of those people

664
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 10: dying from exposure. In the New York area, you have

665
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 10: people who have been dying in car accidents. We had

666
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 10: a couple standing there, snowplow backed up out of a

667
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 10: parking space and killed them both. There was a teenage

668
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 10: girl here in the Dallas Fort Worth area who died.

669
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 10: She was on a sled and a teenage boy in

670
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 10: a jeep wrangler was pulling her. This sled lost control,

671
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 10: hit a tree, she was killed. An almost identical accident

672
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 10: happened in Arkansas and claimed the life of seventeen year

673
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 10: old boy. And just now we're hearing about three fatalities

674
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 10: that have happened in the northeast. These were people sixty

675
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 10: years and up who died of apparent heart attacks while

676
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 10: shoving shoveling sidewalks.

677
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 2: My goodness. Yeah, you know, snow looks fun in theory,

678
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 2: but it is still, you know, a product of Mother nature,

679
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: So people need to be very careful around snow and ice.

680
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 2: I want to talk a little bit about you know,

681
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 2: you mentioned power outages and down power lines. How quickly

682
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 2: are some of the utilities restoring service and are there

683
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 2: any additional concerns about outages as the temperatures continue to fluctuate.

684
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 10: Well, sure, yeah, the NMWER has been going down in

685
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 10: a lot of states. The disaster declarations meant that utility

686
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 10: crews were prepositioned before the storm came in, so that

687
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 10: once the storm hit, once the ice settled on those

688
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 10: lines and they broke or trees fell over onto the

689
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 10: power lines, the crews were very close behind could get

690
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 10: the power restored. So that's been one one smart thing

691
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 10: smart move was prepositioning those assets out there. The majority

692
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 10: or the highest percentage of power outitudes this morning, it's

693
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 10: in Tennessee where a quarter million people are without electricity,

694
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 10: Mississippi with one hundred and fifty eight Louisiana has one

695
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 10: hundred and twenty seven thousand power outages, and of course,

696
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 10: in the day's ahead, in some of those places where

697
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 10: they don't have electricity restored, people will be running generators

698
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 10: and that creates a whole new set of possible risks.

699
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 2: Well, lucky for you and lucky for us that you

700
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: still have power so we can hear from you this morning.
