America this morning good Wednesday
morning everyone I’m Andrew diber I’m
Andre from Ganan we begin with the
breaking news overnight from Washington
the Senate approving billions of dollars
in funding for Ukraine and Israel the
foreign aid bill passed easily the vote
was 79 to8 also included in the bill a
potential ban on Tik Tok lawmakers say
the social media platform is a major
national security risk so what happens
next ABC’s M win has details M Good
morning Andrea good morning the Senate
vote approving billions in foreign aid
and potentially Banning Tik Tok passed
with overwhelming bipartisan
support this morning the clock begins
ticking down for Tik Tock after the
Senate last night passed a bill giving
the social media platform’s Chinese
parent company an ultimatum sell the app
or be banned in the US Tik Tok is a
major foreign
threat the bill we are passing today
puts an end to that lawmakers in both
parties say Tik Tok poses a serious
National Security risk they claim the
Chinese government could force Tik tok’s
owner bite dance to hand over Americans
data or use the app to spread
misinformation by promoting certain
content the platform is used by 170
million Americans some of whom make a
living off the app I’m happier than I
have ever been and it is because this
app has open the door for me to figure
out how I can make a difference in the
world Tik Tok denies sharing data with
China’s government and says it stores
data in the US but Senator Mark Warner
says critics of the potential ban
haven’t seen all the evidence about the
damage the app could do at the end of
the day they’ve not seen what Congress
has seen they’ve not been in the
classified briefings that Congress has
held which have delved into more deeply
some of the threat posed by Foreign
control of Tik Tock President Biden is a
expected to sign the bill today at that
point bite dance will have 9 months to
sell the platform if they can’t or won’t
sell Tik Tok would not disappear from
phones Americans would simply be unable
to update or download the app but bite
Dan is vowing to fight the ban in court
calling it a clear violation of the
First
Amendment the bill passed last night
also includes $60 billion in aid for
Ukraine’s war against Russia Ukraine has
suffered months of setback on the
battlefield due to ammo and air defenses
running low also in the bill $26 billion
to support Israel along with
humanitarian aid for Gaza where Israel’s
war against Hamas continues and could
soon escalate in the city of Rafa the UN
is now calling for an investigation into
mask raides uncovered at two hospitals
in Gaza both previously raided by
Israeli troops Israel says the bodies
were buried before the hospital raids
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell
praised the foreign aid package saying
Republicans have now turned the corner
on the isolationist movement Andrew M
thank you Pro Palestinian demonstrations
are spreading to more campuses across
the country with students and faculty
clashing with police safety concerns are
growing after people in the crowd at NYU
threw bottles at officers City officials
say outside agitators are partly to
blame meanwhile at Colombia after one
week of tensions on campus new progress
overnight to break up an encampment of
protesters both sides now agreeing to
continue talks for the next 2 days uh
we’re not planning on packing up and
going home we are here because people in
Palestine are going through so much
worse we will take sacrifices and do
whatever it takes to make sure that our
voices are heard student organizers
overnight said Colombia is not
negotiating in good faith so they walked
away from the negotiating table
meanwhile in California protesters have
occupied two buildings at cowply humble
one protester hitting an officer with a
water jug now to Growing concerns about
the bird flu with cases among dairy
cattle officials are now confirming
fragments of the virus have been found
in some milk samples here’s ABC’s L
mise this morning the FDA insists the
nation’s milk supply is safe after
fragments of the bird flu virus were
found in some milk samples The
Washington Post reports the fragments
were found in samples taken from grocery
stores in the US but officials have not
said where this may indicate that the
outbreak among dairy cows is wider than
what we thought as of right now this
does not pose any threat for the
individual meaning fragments of a virus
if it’s found in your milk can actually
cause disease the FDA says the
commercial milk supply is safe in part
because of pasteurization which Heats
milk to a specific temperature for a
period of time officials saying even if
virus is detected in raw milk
pasteurization is generally expected to
eliminate pathogens to a level that does
not pose a risk to consumer health in
Ohio where it’s believed the virus is
coming from other states infected cattle
are removed from the production line
that milk is not ending up in the milk
supply bird food cases have been
detected in cattle in at least eight
states from Idaho to North Carolina in
Texas a farm worker was infected
believed to be only the second human
case ever in the US as of right now we
don’t have any cases of human to human
transmission but if a flu virus such as
h5n1 mutates and it’s able to spread
from animals to humans this could lead
to more illness and potentially a flu
outbreak for the everyday consumer who
has milk in their coffee has cereal for
breakfast is it safe to continue
business as usual I would recommend that
anyone who is using milk on a daily
basis uses pasteurized milk and you are
good to go again the FDA recommends that
you do not consume raw milk or dairy
products have not been pasteurized the
agency says more testing is underway
including INF fertilized eggs results
are expected in the coming days or weeks
Andrew Andrea our thanks to liono for
that spoiler alert now to former
president Trump’s criminal trial in New
York both sides are waiting for a key
ruling from the judge today is a day off
in the Trump hush money trial but a
major decision looms large the judge at
any time could issue his ruling on
whether Trump violated the gag order in
the case with his recent social Med
media posts and comments about certain
people involved in the trial one alleged
violation Trump’s 99-minute speech
outside Court Monday in which he railed
against his former lawyer Michael Cohen
a key witness for the prosecution and
when are they going to look at all the
lies that
Cohen did in the last trial he got
caught lying in the last trial and then
again yesterday morning saying this to
our station wpv well Michael con is a
convicted liar and he’s got no
credibility whatsoever prosecutors had a
hearing yesterday Yer argued Trump has
willfully and blatantly violated the gag
order the defense claimed Trump has
merely been responding to political
attacks his lawyer also questioned
whether Trump’s reposting of other
people’s attacks violates the gag order
the judge later responding you’re losing
all credibility with the court if Trump
is found in violation he could face
thousands in fines jail is unlikely but
the Secret Service is now preparing for
that Longshot possibility coordinating
with officers to find a place where
Trump could be held Donald Trump’s not
going to Riker’s ey he’s not going to
one of our local jail facilities I mean
the worst case scenario is they would
find probably an office for him in the
building with the couses meanwhile as
testimony resumed in court National
Inquirer publisher David pecker laid out
the so-called catch and kill agreement
he made during the 2016 presidential
campaign Becker testifying he met with
Michael Cohen and Trump and pledged to
run flattering stories about Trump and
hit jobs on Trump’s opponents including
a false story claiming Senator Ted
Cruz’s father was involved in the J AFK
assassination which Trump referenced on
the campaign Trail what was he doing
with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before
the death before the shooting it’s it’s
horrible pecker also offered to be the
campaign’s eyes and ears to alert Cohen
if he caught wind of any potentially
damaging stories pecker saying he told
Trump he tried to kill those stories so
they’d never see the light of day when
he learned a former Playboy model Karen
McDougle was trying to sell her story
about an affair with Trump which Trump
denies Pecker’s company bought the
rights to the story for
$150,000 but to protect Trump pecker
says he never published the story
Pecker’s due back on the stand when the
trial resumes tomorrow a dramatic scene

there’s a new push to allow teachers to
carry guns in school another state is
about to make the
move many amid protests and after a
heated debate lawmakers in Tennessee
have approved a bill allowing certain
teach to carry firearms in K through 12
schools critics claim it will only make
schools more dangerous this amendment is
to rename this bill the refusal to
protect kids in schools act because
that’s exactly what you all are doing
but one year after a gunman open fire at
the Covenant School in Nashville killing
six people including three young
students supporters of army teachers say
it will make a potential school shooter
think twice this bill it seeks to make
the bar so high but to allow the locals
to have the ability to do that that it
would create a deterrent across our
state the bill will allow teachers to
carry concealed handguns on a school
campus if they meet certain requirements
including a background check a
psychological evaluation and 40 hours of
firearms training also the principal
school district and local law
enforcement would all have to sign off
on arming School staffers with State
approval Tennessee is set to become at
least the 30th state to allow teachers
to carry guns in some K through 12
schools but a recent Nationwide poll
found 54% of teachers believe arming
Educators would make schools less safe
compared to just 20% who believe it
would make schools safer the Tennessee
bill now moves to the governor’s desk
and he is expected to sign it the
federal government has banned
non-compete agreements for workers the
move prevents companies from limiting an
employes ability to take a job with a
competitor the FTC says this will boost
wages but companies trying to protect
trade secrets are expected to challenge
the ban in court and the Biden
Administration has also finalized a rule
that could make 4 million more Americans
eligible for overtime pay beginning next
year employers will be required to pay

one protester hitting an officer with

about the bird flu with cases among
dairy cattle officials are now
confirming fragments of the virus have
been found in some milk samples here’s
ABC’s L
mise this morning the FDA insists the
nation’s milk supply is safe after
fragments of the bird flu virus were
found in some milk samples The
Washington Post reports the fragments
were found in samples taken from grocery
stores in the US but officials have not
said where this may indicate that the
outbreak among dairy cows is wider than
what we thought as of right now this
does not pose any threat for the
individual meaning fragments of a virus
if it’s found in your milk can actually
cause disease the FDA says the
commercial milk supply is safe in part
because of pasteurization which Heats
milk to a specific temperature for a
period of time officials saying even if
virus is detected in raw milk
pasteurization is generally expected to
eliminate path pathogens to a level that
does not pose a risk to consumer health
in Ohio where it’s believed the virus is
coming from other states infected cattle
are removed from the production line
that milk is not ending up in the milk
supply bird food cases have been
detected in cattle in at least eight
states from Idaho to North Carolina in
Texas a farm worker was infected
believed to be only the second human
case ever in the US as of right now we
don’t have any cases of human to human
transmission
but if a flu virus such as h5n1 mutates
and it’s able to spread from animals to
hum this could lead to more illness and
potentially a flu outbreak for the
everyday consumer who has milk in their
coffee has cereal for breakfast is it
safe to continue business as usual I
would recommend that anyone who is using
milk on a daily basis uses pasturized
milk and you are good to go again the
FDA recommends that you do not consume
raw milk or dairy products that have not
been pasteurized the agency says more
testing is underway including INF
fertilized eggs results are expected in
the coming days or weeks Andrew Andrea
our thanks to liono for that spoiler
alert now to former president Trump’s
criminal trial in New York both sides
are waiting for a key ruling from the
judge today is a day off in the Trump
hush money trial but a major decision
looms large the judge at any time could
issue his ruling on whether Trump
violated the gag or order in the case
with his recent social media posts and
comments about certain people involved
in the trial one alleged violation
Trump’s 9 minute speech outside Court
Monday in which he railed against his
former lawyer Michael Cohen a key
witness for the prosecution and when are
they going to look at all the lies that
con did in the last trial he got caught
lying in the last trial and then again
yesterday morning saying this to our
station wpv well Michael con is a
convicted liar and he’s got no
credibility whatsoever prosecutors at a
hearing yesterday argued Trump has
willfully and blatantly violated the gag
order the defense claimed Trump has
merely been responding to political
attacks his lawyer also questioned
whether Trump’s reposting of other
people’s attacks violates the gag order
the judge later responding you’re losing
all credibility with the court if Trump
is found in violation he could face
thousands in fines jail is unlikely but
the Secret Service is now preparing for
that Longshot possibility coordinating
with officers to find a place where
Trump could be help
Donald Trump’s not going to Riker’s
Island he’s not going to one of our
local jail facilities I mean the worst
case scenario is they would find
probably an office for him in the
building where the courthouse is
meanwhile as testimony resumed in court
National Inquirer publisher David pecker
laid out the soall catch and kill
agreement he made during the 2016
presidential campaign Becker testifying
he met with Michael Cohen and Trump and
pledged to run flattering stories about
Trump and hit jobs on Trump’s opponents
including a false story claiming Senator
Ted Cruz’s father was involved in the
JFK assassination which Trump referenced
on the campaign Trail what was he doing
with Lee Harvey oswal shortly before the
death before the shooting it’s it’s
horrible pecker also offered to be the
campaign’s eyes and ears to alert Cohen
if he caught wind of any potentially
damaging stories pcker saying he told
Trump he tried to kill those stories so
they’d never see the light of day when
he learned a former Playboy model Karen
McDougall was trying to sell her story
about an affair with Trump which Trump
denies Pecker’s company bought the
rights to the story for
$150,000 but to protect Trump pecker
says he never published the story
Pecker’s due back on the stand when the
trial resumes tomorrow a dramatic scene

back with the moment a small plane
crashed near Fairbanks Alaska video
shows a flash of light and a plume of
smoke coming from the World War II era
plane the Flaming wreckage was seen
moments later two people were killed and
the NTSB will investigate there’s a new
push to allow teachers to carry guns in
school another state is about to make
the
move many amid protests and after a
heated debate lawmakers in Tennessee
have approved a bill allowing certain
teachers to carry firearms in K through
12 schools critics claim it will only
make schools more dangerous this
amendment is to rename this bill the
refusal to protect kids in schools act
because that’s exactly what you all are
doing but one year after a gunman open
fire at the Covenant School in Nashville
killing six people including three young
students supporters of army teachers say
it will make a potential school shooter
think twice this bill it seeks to make
the bar high but to allow the locals to
have the ability to do that that it
would create a deterrent across our
state the bill will allow teachers to
carry concealed handguns on a school
campus if they meet certain requirements
including a background check a
psychological evaluation and 40 hours of
firearms training also the principal
school district and local law
enforcement would all have to sign off
on arming School staffers with State
approval Tennessee is set to become at
least the 30th state to allow teachers
to carry guns in some K through 12
schools but a recent Nationwide poll
found 54% of teachers believe arming
Educators would make schools less safe
compared to just 20% who believe it
would make schools safer the Tennessee
bill now moves to the governor’s desk
and he is expected to sign it the
federal government has banned
non-compete agreements for workers the
move prevents companies from limiting an
employes ability to take a job with a
competitor the FTC says this will boost
wages but companies trying to protect
Tech trade secrets are expected to
challenge the ban in court and the Biden
Administration has also finalized a rule
that could make 4 million more Americans
eligible for overtime pay beginning next
year employers will be required to pay

the breaking news overnight from
Washington the Senate approving billions
of dollars in funding for Ukraine and
Israel the foreign aid bill passed
easily the vote was 79 to8 also included
in the bill a potential ban on Tik Tok
talk lawmakers say the social media
platform is a major national security
risk so what happens next ABC’s mwin has
details and Good morning Andrea good
morning the Senate vote approving
billions in foreign aid and potentially
Banning Tik Tok passed with overwhelming
bipartisan
support this morning the clock begins
ticking down for tick tock after the
Senate last night passed a bill giving
the social media platform’s Chinese
parent company an ultimatum sell the app
or be banned in the US Tik Tock is a
major foreign
threat the bill we are passing today
puts an end to that lawmakers in both
parties say Tik Tok poses a serious
National Security risk they claim the
Chinese government could force Tik tok’s
owner B dance to hand over Americans
data or use the app to spread
misinformation by promoting certain
content the platform is used by 170
million Americans some of whom make a
living off the app I’m happier than I
have ever been and it is because this
app has opened the door for me to figure
out how I can make a difference in the
world Tik Tok denies sharing data with
China’s government and says it stores
data in the US but Senator Mark Warner
says critics of the potential ban
haven’t seen all the evidence about the
damage the app could do at the end of
the day they’ve not seen what Congress
has seen they’ve not been in the
classified briefings that Congress has
held which have delved into more for
deeply some of the threat posed by
Foreign control of Tik Tok President
Biden is expected to sign the bill today
at that point bite dance will have 9
months to sell the platform if they
can’t or won’t sell Tik Tok would not
disappear from phones Americans would
simply be unable to update or download
the app but bite Dan is vowing to fight
the ban in court calling it a clear
violation of the First
Amendment the bill passed last night

the bird flu with cases among dairy
cattle officials are now confirming
fragments of the virus have been found
in some milk samples here’s ABC’s Lina
mise this morning the FDA insists the
nation’s milk supply is safe after
fragments of the bird flu virus were
found in some milk samples The
Washington Post reports the fragments
were found in samples taken from grocery
stores in the US but official have not
said where this may indicate that the

what we thought as of right now this
does not pose any threat for the

if it’s found in your milk can actually

commercial milk supply is safe in part
because of pasteurization which Heats

not pose a risk to consumer health in
Ohio where it’s believed the virus is

that milk is not ending up in the milk
supply bird food cases have been
detected in cattle in at least eight
states from Idaho to North Carolina in
Texas a farm worker was infected
believed to be only the second human
case ever in the US as of right now we
don’t have any case of human to human
transmission but if a flu virus such as
h5n1 mutates and it’s able to spread
from animals to humans this could lead
to more illness and potentially a flu
outbreak for the everyday consumer who
has milk in their coffee has cereal for
breakfast is it safe to continue
business as usual I would recommend that
anyone who is using milk on a daily
basis uses pasteurized milk and you are
good to go again the FDA recommends that
you do not consume raw milk or dairy
products that have not been pasteurized
the agency says more testing is underway
including INF fertilized eggs results
are expected in the coming days or weeks
Andrew Andrea our thanks to liono for
that spoiler alert now to former
president Trump’s criminal trial in New
York both sides are waiting for a key
ruling from the judge today is a day off
in the Trump hush money trial but a
major decision looms large the judge at
any time could issue his rle ruling on
whether Trump violated the gag order in
the case with his recent social media
posts and comments about certain people
involved in the trial one alleged
violation Trump’s 9-minute speech
outside Court Monday in which he railed
against his former lawyer Michael Cohen
a key witness for the prosecution and
one are they going to look at all the
lies that
cooh did in the last trial he got caught
lying in the last trial and then again
yesterday morning saying this to our
station wpv well Michael con is a
convicted liar and he’s got no
credibility whatsoever prosecutors at a
hearing yesterday argued Trump has
willfully and blatantly violated the gag
order the defense claim Trump has merely
been responding to political attacks his
lawyer also questioned whether Trump’s
reposting of other people’s attacks
violates the gag order the judge later
responding you’re losing all credibility
with the court if Trump is found in
violation he could face thousands in
fines jail is unlikely but the Secret
Service is now preparing for that
Longshot possibility coordinating with
officer to find a place where Trump
could be held Donald Trump’s not going
to Riker’s Island he’s not going to one
of our local jail facilities I mean the

moments later two people were killed and
the NTSB will investigate there’s a new
push to allow teachers to carry guns in
school another state is about to make
the
move many amid protests and after a
needed debate lawmakers in Tennessee
have approved a bill allowing certain
teachers to carry firearms in K through
12 schools critics claim it will only
make schools more dangerous this
amendment is to rename this bill the
refusal to protect kids in schools act
because that’s exactly what you all are
doing but one year after a gunman open
fire at the Covenant School in Nashville
killing six people including three young
students supporters of army teachers say
it will make a potential school shooter
think twice this bill it seeks to make
the bar so high but to allow the locals
to have the ability to do that that it
would create a deterrent across our
state the bill will allow teachers to
carry concealed handguns on a school
campus if they meet certain requirements
including a background check a
psychological evaluation and 40 hours of
firearms training also the principal
school district and local law
enforcement would all have to sign off
on arming School staffers with State
approval Tennessee is set to become at
least the 30th state to allow teachers
to carry guns in some K through 12
schools but a recent Nationwide poll
found 54% of teachers believe arming
Educators would make schools less safe
compared to just 20% who believe it
would make schools safer the Tennessee
bill now moves to the governor’s desk
and he is expected to sign it the
federal government has banned
non-compete agreements for workers the
move prevents companies from limiting an
employees ability to take a job with a

anything but that was 3 months ago when
sadly Christine had to return back to
her business in El Paso texas, 1500
miles from her daughter Sarah her
husband and baby Dawson I don’t want him
to not know my voice and that is when
Sarah gave Mima an idea which she had
seen other Mima on the internet try
hello Dawson to create a YouTube
playlist that’s me loving you where
Christine could at least read to her
grandson you’ve done 20 in two weeks
yeah I’m kind of addicted but here we

[Music]

a landmark case challenging one of the
most stringent laws in the nation a
federal law here does conflict with
Idaho’s law and other states laws could
there in fact still be a kind of

arguments the FBI stumbled when they
needed it the most their failures
allowed over 100 children to continue
being abused now the victims of Larry

milky most Democrats thought Florida was
pretty much out of play this election
cycle in recent years the state has
turned a pretty reliable shade of red
but yesterday President Biden arrived
there for a campaign event and he seemed
fired up that’ll be all of us who
restore those rights for women in
America see the difference between a few
years ago and right now is the end of Ro
v Wade in fact specifically about a
month from now FL Florida is set to
enact a state ban on abortions past 6
weeks of pregnancy which since most
women don’t know they’re pregnant by
then is effectively a ban on all
abortions I don’t think we’re going to
let him get away with it do
you this plan is so radical that
Democrats now think they can maybe just
maybe carry the state at the polls
because they think by November voters
will have a better sense of how
impactful and Lasting these abortion
restrictions will be in fact later today
the US Supreme Court is about to hear
case that could Define just how far
states can go big day ahead of us let’s
start with Kate Shaw she’s a law
professor at upen she’s also an ABC News
Supreme Court contributor Kate what is
the significance of this case in
Washington today Brad it’s a really
significant case I think both for actual
pregnant women in states with really
restrictive abortion laws but also for
giving us a sense of really what this
post row landscape is going to look like
in the coming years um so this case is
about emergency rooms and medical care
for people in crisis so actually people
experiencing healthy pregnancies this
case isn’t about that at all what this
case is about is if a woman presents at
an emergency room in a state like Idaho
which is where this case is out of that
has very very restrictive abortion laws
but where Federal Law requires the ER to
provide stabilizing care to a woman in
crisis essentially which body of law
controls Idaho has a very restrictive
law that basically says abortions are
only permitted to save a patient’s life
um and there is a rape exception but a
narrow one but federal law says in
emergency rooms where hospitals receive
federal funds if a person’s health is
threatened by a medical emergency the
doctors have to provide whatever
appropriate care is necessary to
preserve the patient’s life and their
health and if that care involves
performing an abortion then federal law
protects doctor’s ability to perform
those abortions so we have a conflict
Ido says no abortions essentially unless
the patient is at death’s door but
federal law says that the doctor thinks
an abortion is necessary to you know
prevent major organ failure or
impairment of future fertility or other
very serious health threats than the
doctor permitted to perform the abortion
so the question is which body of law
controls I see because when roie Wade
went away it’s like there’s no more
standard for abortions in this country
at a federal level you’re saying there
still could be a standard of care for
women and maybe that involves an
abortion right before dos overturned Row
versus Wade the Federal Constitution
protected some right to access abortion
when row went away States had
essentially free reign to restrict or
even to prohibit abortion in the way
that Idaho is done but there are other
bodies of law that remain intact and a
federal law here does conflict with
Idaho’s law and other states laws and so
the stakes for individuals who have
high-risk pregnancies who might find
themselves in some kind of Crisis and
might need to seek emergency room care
are incred high but beyond this this
particular case this is a reminder that
when dos said the abortion question is
going to be left to the states each
state can decide for themselves what to
do about abortion that was never really
a settlement that was going to hold and
why people travel from one state to
another individuals access hospitals
that are constrained by federal rules
and regulations so this kind of
state-by-state solution was never going
to be a particularly durable one but I
do think that a majority of this court
is very very skeptical of protection for
abortion we saw that on display in the
Dos opinion and so I think there is a
chance that the court could rule against
the federal government and in favor of
Idaho um which I think would you know
subject individuals in this post-dbs
landscape to potentially more
uncertainty and vulnerability about
their ability to access needed Medical
Care well and which brings my mind back
to what I was mentioning earlier with
President Biden and how Democrats think
that this is this galvanizing force and
I know that you think about the law I
know justices are supposed to be above
Petty electoral politics but clearly
this is a centerpiece of a campaign year
now so I mean will the political
landscape play a role in court today I
think it’s entirely possible so the
court actually has two big abortion
cases it’s considering this term today’s
case about emergency care but also the
case about mistone the medication
abortion drug and I imagine that the
justices are thinking to a degree about
the election year backdrop that they are
operating against so I think that with a
myth ayone case I think there is a real
chance that justices will dismiss that
case on standing grounds and I think
that’s legally correct but I also think
it might be influenced by their
awareness of the likely you know seismic
consequences it would have if the
Supreme Court really severely restricted
access to my a prone so I don’t think
they’re going to be completely oblivious
to the election year
background it seems possible that if the
court here rules for Idaho and rules in
favor of a very restrictive abortion law
then that too could you know at least on
the margins increase the salience of
abortion as an election year issue and
potentially benefit the Democrats and
that’s something that justices May well
be aware of yeah it’s like the
overarching message here is is if you
thought you were done thinking about
Federal abortion policy think again
because we know that Women’s Health and
abortion intersect in many many ways
according to doctors so uh Kate Shaw big
case today thank you so much for teeing
it up thank you
Brad Dr Larry Nasser was convicted in
2018 you do not
deserve to walk outside of a prison ever
again remember this was a doctor who
worked for USA Gymnastics and for
decades sexually abused athletes under
the guise of keeping them healthy in
2018 many of these gymnasts were able to
watch Nasser be sentenced and while we
all are moving
mountains you
Larry will have no choice but to sit in
prison and wait to die however that’s
not where the story ends because Nasser
they said was not the only one who
failed them to be clear I blame Larry
Nasser and I also
blame an entire
system that enabled and perpetrated his
abuse they spoke out about gymnastics
officials and coaches but also law
enforcement because remember some of
these gymnasts had been reporting this
Behavior for years the FBI and others
within both USAG and usopc knew that
Naser molested children and did nothing
to restrict his access what is the point
of reporting abuse if our own FBI agents
are going to take it upon themselves to
bury that report in a
drawer well yesterday the Department of
Justice agreed to settle with more than
a 100 victims over the action or should
I say lack of action by the FBI ABC’s
Alex Malin covers the justice department
Alex this was a huge settlement right
what can you tell us about it yeah and
Brad it was really years in the making
the justice department announced
yesterday that it had reached a$
138.74503
the USA Gymnastics and University of
Michigan State this was the fact that
they had brought these claims straight
to the FBI and the FBI both failed to
act and specific agents slow walked and
engaged in misconduct in bringing those
claims to where they should have gone
and and launching a criminal
investigation of Nasser yeah I think the
first complaints to the FBI were
reportedly like in 2015 and then nothing
happened for 15 months how blatant was
this in the eyes of the gyns yeah I mean
this was all kind of covered in An
Inspector General report that was uh
released back in 2021 the FBI waited
weeks from the initial report to
undertake any investigative activity the
FBI failed to timely interview key
Witnesses the FBI failed to properly
document witness statements and store
evidence the FBI failed to inform state
and local authorities of Nas’s abuse
when it believ the assault allegations
likely did not fall within Federal
jurisdiction and Brad when this came out
it really looked into the actions of two
FBI agents who were serving in the Indi
Indianapolis field office it found that
one of the agents actually made false
statements when he was interviewed by
investigators with a connection of how
he handled these allegations that were
brought forward one senior FBI official
went so far as to seek a job with USA
Gymnastics CEO at the same time he was
overseeing the FBI’s failed
investigative effort just these blatant
examples of misconduct and to note that
the FBI would come forward multiple
times to say we are reopening this
criminal investigation into these two
agents to determine whether we can
charge them that’s just something the
FBI very rarely does but again this
warranted in their mind such a serious
breach of conduct that they had to do
that yeah I mean that’s important to say
charges never filed here which means
never really an omission of wrongdoing
by the agents themselves and attorneys
representing the victims have criticized
that decision so at the end of the day
though Alex I mean this is more than
$100 million of taxpayer money that is
going to write these clear wrongs is
there a lesson for the FBI or the doj
like is there a bigger takeaway from any
of this I mean this is not just the
first time this year Brad that we’ve
heard from the doj entering into a
settlement where it’s been found to have
not properly conducted itself during the
course of the investigation you had that
massive you know nearly $150 million
that were paid out um to victims of the
2017 shooting at the Southerland Springs
Church in Texas you had another uh 120
$7 million settlement that was paid out
to victims of the Parkland High School
shooting and so obviously this you know
this settlement now means that these
claims of wrongdoing are resolved for
now um these are things though that
these victims are going to be dealing
with and have been dealing with um for
the rest of their lives I’m deeply
grateful accountability with the justice
department has been a long time incoming
their failures allowed over 100 children
to continue being abused but I think
it’s also important to recognize that
this is the first step the failures that
we see happening with the the FBI and
the justice department really are just a
blown up picture of what’s Happening all
over the country to survivors that don’t
have press coverage there’s been victims
of Larry Nasser who have died by Suicide
we know of um and so these things are
lifelong uh and there’s not something
that you can actually put a price tag on
it we know that the FBI director Chris
Ray who was not serving uh as the leader
of the FBI during the time that these uh
violations happened he he came forward
with a remarkable personal apology
during an appearance before Congress we
need to remember the pain that occurred
when our folks failed to do their jobs
we need to study it we need to learn
from it it was really striking to hear
him apologize directly to the victims of
Larry Nasser and how the FBI failed them
and again this IG report did recommend a
series of changes in kind of the
bureaucratic handling of complaints when
they’re brought forward by the FBI but
it really points to just how these two
FBI agents in the Indianapolis field
office really stepped outside the bounds
of what was proper here and it’s hard to
often police that when you have a
massive organization like the FBI right
cuz you could talk about bad apples all
you want but if you’re not catching the
bad apples then that’s a problem with
your organization and the cost of all
that to taxpayers is a distant cry from
anything that these victims have faced
uh Alex Malon great work reporting on
the justice department thank you thanks
Brad in this country we love to tell
ourselves that we recycle company tell
us they’re trying to get to net zero
emissions we tell our neighbors that we
religiously fill up our recycling bins
but there’s a big difference between
saying something is getting recycled and
actually recycling it last year our
investigative team with the help of some
of our ABC stations around the country
did a project that every other
journalist including me wishes they had
thought of first they said you know
those bins at grocery stores that claim
to recycle your plastic bags well what
if we stuck trackers inside some plastic
bags we put them in those bins and see
if any of them actually go to recycling
centers what they found next was
astonishing many of these trackers
started popping up at landfills and
incinerators the vast majority of them
never pinged anywhere near a recycling
site but some of these trackers seem to
travel even farther around the world on
a journey that some activists call Waste
colonialism this week a week of stories
focusing on the power of us Matt Gutman
is back with us to walk us through these
alarming discoveries Matt another know
reason you focus on plastic shopping
bags is because they’re notoriously hard
to recycle compared to glass or aluminum
or paper where did some of these plastic
bags go well it really depends but we
deposited 46 trackers Brad 43 of them we
know did not end up in facilities that
do recycling they were either landfilled
or incinerated or somehow else disposed
of but three of them ended up on the
other side of the globe 9,000 Mi away in
Indonesia and Malaysia these were three
trackers that we dropped off at Walmart
stores one in New York one in Florida
one in Kansas okay here’s one of the
drop
offs and we didn’t quite expect them to
wind up all the way across the world um
and we knew that this had happened but
it took us some time to figure out and
try to track and Trace how they wound up
there all we want to know is where you
send the plastic bags that are earmarked
for recycling like that’s the question
for but we’ve been asking her for months
and months we just want to talk to
people and what we learned is that there
is a very
complex sometimes very misunderstood
world of plastic exports that happens in
this country and people think that
they’re doing the right thing they’re
trying to make the effort to deposit
these plastic bags in the recycling bins
that are designated for recycling and it
just doesn’t always end up the way they
think it does um you said that these
ended up in places like Indonesia and
Malaysia what’s what’s why Malaysia
in 2018 China banned the import of
plastic and so that’s where we used to
send most of our plastic for many years
and they would somehow recycle it or
change it or just dump it but China
decided this was not something it wanted
to keep doing and stopped it in 2018 and
other countries picked up the Baton and
countries like Malaysia and Indonesia
started to import our
plastic the problem Brad is that so
often the plastic that we send is not
recyclable it’s plastic waste that ends
up just being chucked or dumped or
burned in other people’s
countries we have about 30 ,000 resident
here SED by Forest SED by river we met
an activist named P Pang who has been
working against some of these facilities
that uh take in the plastic and then
either uh try to convert it to pristine
plastic recycle it or end up dumping it
or incinerating it people from American
you created too much of your waste that
is a problem now and she’s been fighting
this for years and you see Italy Ireland
and she showed us uh the backs of the
facilities where they are allegedly
dumping plastic waste right into
rivers So This Is How They dump their wa
and and this is just in the backyard of
the factory the plastic fragments of our
trash sometimes ends up in the very
fabric of the soil on leaves on Blades
of grass just sort of meshed in the
nature there of what used to be this
pristine jungle we have a broken system
we are not as capable as your people
think that we can handle your wayte so
it was pretty jarring to see the result
of what happens when we try to recycle
plastic in this country and where it
ends up and and not just that but think
about it what is the carbon footprint of
trying to send a shipment of plastic
9,000 miles away when you’re going to
put it in the landfill anyway you’re
just spending all that extra CO2 to do
it exactly I mean our analysis of
shipping data estimates that shipping
all that plastic 9,000 miles away around
Africa up to Asia pumped more than
100,000 metric tons of CO2 in the
atmosphere just over the past 3 and this
is just for shipping plastic wait and so
just so I’m getting it right Matt is
like why are these companies taking all
this plastic if it’s not going to be
recyclable is it just the idea that
companies here in the US are so
desperate to get rid of it that they’re
like yeah if you’re recycling it we’ll
pay you to take it off our hands and so
there are companies around the world
being like great you’ll pay us we who
who knows what happens to it after that
but we’ll take your money for sure yeah
and some of them actually want the
plastic if it is the kind of quality
plastic that can be recy it’s valuable
the problem is a lot of the plastic is
contaminated and it’s of poor quality
which means it ends up having to be
incinerated or
dumped and so what we found Brad is that
some of these companies according to
data that we got from the Malaysian
Parliament says that at least one of
these companies that our trackers went
to does not have a license to import
apparently um another one of the
companies does have a license to import
but the question is you know this is a a
gray Zone at times of where this plastic
ends up who ends up buying it and what
they end up doing with it the bottom
line is American consumers who think
they’re doing the right thing by
dropping off their perfectly pristine
and clean plastic bags at plastic bag
recycling bins at countless big box
stores across the country they don’t
know that the vast majority of what
they’re dropping in does not end up
getting recycled in fact some of it gets
shipped thousands of miles away possibly
to be dumped in another country’s
backyard right and I know the thing
you’ve been driving home has been like
it’s not like recycling doesn’t work
it’s specific so often to plastic
basically and especially plastic bags is
the moral of the story then Matt on the
US side of this that there are like what
are the companies doing about it are
they fine essentially sending this stuff
off just so that they’re able to say
it’s been recycled or are they genuinely
in the dark that this is just ending up
in the backyard of like this activist I
think that’s unclear what we do know is
that we’ve been trying to ask Walmart
these very questions for a year and a
half and they have declined our requests
for interviews let’s get time to talk
about this I’d love to learn more about
well we have a room actually right here
if if you would go I’m sorry we actually
went to a conference where we found
Walmart’s Chief sustainability officer
and asked these very questions we’ve
been trying to for over a year now and
we’ve been flatly rejected by your team
okay um so I wonder if you would go on
the record because this is important and
she said oh yeah email me let’s sit down
let’s do an interview and of of course
we did just that we planned an interview
they offered a date we said okay we’ll
be there and then just a few days before
they cancelled that date and they didn’t
answer any of our specific questions
about plastic recycling and then just
sent us a statement from the
company and they basically said that
they strive to do the right thing noting
that their program isn’t perfect but
they said it does provide recycling
access to millions of customers they
also said they’re changing some of what
they do that they’re continuously
improving their recycling including new
contracts requiring companies to uh
prove that collected materials are
recycled as much as practicable the
challenge will be to bring some pretty
desperate groups together there are some
groups that uh believe that we should
basically keep producing what you
produce and recycle your way out of the
problem so if you pull all of the
consultants and everybody working on the
plastic pollution problem the one thing
pretty much everybody agrees upon is
that the only way to truly stop the
plastic pollution problem is to cap the
production of new plastic basically make
less of it it sounds like you’re saying
something kind of Novel for the US
government it sounds like you’re willing
to accept putting limits and capping the
production of new Plastic Products not
necessarily not necessarily but a
representative of the US government a
senior level Diplomat for the state
department who is working on this
possibly historic UN treaty on plastic
pollution told us that the US government
is not going to put a cap on plastic
production such a bizarre industry with
tentacles like you said all over the
world this special by the way called
trashed the secret life of plastic
exports premiered on ABC News live last
night it is streaming on Hulu right now
this morning Matt Gutman our chief
National correspondent thank you so much
thanks Brad and one last thing this
country might soon have a lot more free
agents the motion passes 3 to2 yesterday
the Federal Trade Commission voted to do
something it’s talked about for more
than a year ban the practice of
non-compete clauses for American
employees a non-compete clause in your
contract means you can’t go to work for
a rival company sometimes even after
your current employment has ended like
if you work at a tech firm you might not
be able to go work at another one for a
year or two the idea is simple the
coca-colas of the world don’t want their
employees heading to Pepsi with a secret
recipe but this has become about a lot
more than Trade Secrets and chief
Engineers when you got this lost suit
what was your
reaction I was shocked this is the
demand letter I got ABC has spoken to
employees who have been sued by their
former employers when they’re not
walking out the door with any
proprietary knowledge more and more
often they say these Clauses are used to
Simply dissuade employees from leaving
for a better salary people think this is
about folks in the boardroom but it’s
not it’s also about hair stylists it’s
about security guards people all across
the income Spectrum at this point the
FTC has estimates one in five Americans
has signed some sort of non-compete
Clause some are fast food workers even
small businesses have started putting
this in their contracts we follow what
the big boys do and if they put
non-competes we’ll do non-competes which
is why yesterday chairwoman Lena Khan
announced that 120 days from now no new
contracts can include Provisions like
this anywhere in the country even
existing non-compete clauses will be
null and void for the vast majority of
employees this rule in particular could
affect workers livelihoods and the
viability of small businesses and
startups and so it was especially
important to me that we be able to
provide some additional visibility and
public
accountability she says thousands of
workers will now be able to start their
own businesses that compete with their
old ones fairer competition will raise
salaries and since so many of these
non-competes are for healthcare workers
healthare costs for the rest of us could
even go down there’s already legal push
back here so much in fact that the
120-day waiting period could just be the
beginning the US Chamber of Commerce the
pro business group in DC says this will
hurt businesses and employees because
the sense of trust will be gone
employees today uh are often exposed to
things that while may not be technically
Trade Secrets really are kind of the
secret sauce for how a company’s going
to operate but employees who say they’re
routinely pressured to sign these
contracts with little negotiation say
there wasn’t a ton of trust in the first
place and if this rule goes through you
can trust they’ll be looking at all
their options
[Music]
the FTC also said a current contract can
stand if the employee is a senior
executive I got a feeling a lot of
people are about to find out their
companies consider them senior
Executives even if they don’t get paid
like it more in all these stories at

the Senate approving billions of dollars
in funding for Ukraine and Israel the
foreign aid bill passed easily the vote
was 7 9 to8 also included in the bill a
potential ban on Tik Tok lawmakers say
the social media platform is a major
national security risk so what happens
next ABC’s M win has details M Good
morning Andrea good morning the Senate
vote approving billions in foreign aid
and potentially Banning Tik Tok passed
with overwhelming bipartisan
support this morning the clock begins
ticking down for Tik Tock after the
Senate last night passed a bill giving
the social media platforms Chinese
parent company an ultimatum sell the app
or be banned in the US Tik Tok is a
major foreign threat the bill we are
passing today puts an end to that
lawmakers in both parties say Tik Tok
poses a serious National Security risk
they claim the Chinese government could
force Tik tok’s owner bite dance to hand
over Americans data or use the app to
spread misinformation by promoting
certain content the platform is used by
170 million Americans some of whom make
a living off the app I’m happier than I
have ever been and it is because this
app has open the door for me to figure
out how I can make a difference in the
world Tik Tok denies sharing data with
China’s government and says it stores
data in the US but Senator Mark Warner
says critics of the potential ban
haven’t seen all the evidence about the
damage the app could do at the end of
the day they’ve not seen what Congress
has seen they’ve not been in the
classified briefings that Congress has
held which have delved into more deeply
some of the threat posed by Foreign
control of Tik Tock President Biden is
expected to sign the bill today at that
point bite dance will have nine months
to sell the platform if they can’t or
won’t sell Tik Tok would not disappear
from phones Americans would simply be
unable to update or download the app but

Growing concerns about the bird flu with
cases among dairy cattle officials are
now confirming fragments of the virus
have been found in some milk samples
here’s ABC’s L
mise this morning the FDA insists the
nation’s milk supply is safe after
fragments of the bird flu virus were
found in some milk samples The
Washington Post reports the fragments
were found in samples taken from grocery
stores in the US but officials have not
said where this may indicate that the
outbreak among dairy cows is wider than
what we thought as of right now this
does not pose any threat for the
individual meaning fragments of a virus
if it’s found in your milk can actually
cause disease the FDA says the
commercial milk supply is safe in part
because of pasteurization which Heats
milk to a specific temperature for a
period of time officials saying even if
virus is detected in raw milk
pasteurization is generally expected to
eliminate pathogens to a level that does
not pose a risk to consumer health in
Ohio where it’s believed the virus is
coming from other states infected cattle
are removed from the production line
that milk is not ending up in the milk
supply bird food cases have been
detected in cattle in at least eight
states from Idaho to North Carolina in
Texas a farm worker was infected
believed to be only the second human
case ever in the US as of right now we
don’t have any cases of human to human
transmission but if a flu virus such as
h5n1 mutates and it’s able to spread
from animals to humans this could lead
to more illness and potentially a flu
outbreak for the everyday consumer who
has milk in their coffee has cereal for
breakfast is it safe to continue
business as usual I would recommend that
anyone who is using milk on a daily
basis uses pasteurized milk and you are
good to go again the FDA recommends that
you do not consume raw milk or dairy
products that have not been pasteurized
the agency says more testing is underway
including INF fertilized eggs results
are expected in the coming days or weeks
Andrew Andrea our thanks to liono for
that spoiler alert now to former
president Trump’s criminal trial in New
York both sides are waiting for a key
ruling from the judge today is a day off
in the Trump hush money trial but a
major decision looms large the judge at
any time could issue his ruling on
whether Trump violated the gag order in
the case with his recent social media
posts and comments about certain people
involved in the trial one alleged
violation Trump’s 9-minute speech
outside Court Monday in which he railed
against his former lawyer Michael Cohen
a key witness for the prosecution and
when are they going to look at all the
lies that
Cohen did in the last trial he got
caught lying in the last trial and then
again yesterday morning saying this to
our
wpv well Michael con is a convicted liar
and he’s got no credibility whatsoever
prosecutors at a hearing yesterday
argued Trump has willfully and blatantly
violated the gag order the defense
claimed Trump has merely been responding
to political attacks his lawyer also
questioned whether Trump’s reposting of
other people’s attacks violates the gag
order the judge later responding you’re
losing all credibility with the court if
Trump is found in violation he could
face thousands in fines jail is unlikely
but the secret service is now preparing
for that long shot possibility
coordinating with officers to find a
place where Trump could be held Donald
Trump’s not going to Riker’s Island he’s
not going to one of our local jail
facilities I mean the worst case
scenario is they would find probably an
office for him in the building with the
courthouses meanwhile his testimony
resumed in court National Inquirer
publisher David pecker laid out the
so-called catch and kill agreement he
made during the 2016 presidential
campaign Becker testifying he met with
Michael Cohen and Trump and pledged to
run flattering stories about Trump and
hit jobs on Trump’s opponents including
a false story claiming Senator Ted
Cruz’s father was involved in the JFK
assassination which Trump referenced on
the campaign Trail what was he doing
with Lee Harvey oswal shortly before the
death before the shooting it’s it’s
horrible pecker also offered to be the
campaign’s eyes and ears to alert Cohen
if he caught wind of any potentially
damaging stories pecker saying he told
Trump he tried to kill those stories so
they’d never see the light of day when
he l learned a former Playboy model
Karen McDougall was trying to sell her
story about an affair with Trump which
Trump denies Pecker’s company bought the
rights to the story for
$150,000 but to protect Trump pecker
says he never published the story
Pecker’s due back on the stand when the
trial resumes tomorrow a dramatic scene

moments later two people were killed and
the NTSB will investigate there’s a new
push to allow teachers to carry guns in
school another state is about to make
the move
many amid protests and after a heated
debate lawmakers in Tennessee have
approved a bill allowing certain
teachers to carry firearms in K through
12 schools critics claim it will only
make schools more dangerous this
amendment is to rename this bill the
refusal to protect kids in schools act
because that’s exactly what you all are
doing but one year after a gunman opened
fire at the Covenant School in Nashville
killing six people including three young
students supporters of army teachers say
will make a potential school shooter
think twice this bill it seeks to make
the bar so high but to allow the locals
to have the ability to do that that it
would create a deterrent across our
state the bill will allow teachers to
carry concealed handguns on a school
campus if they meet certain requirements
including a background check a
psychological evaluation and 40 hours of
firearms training also the principal
school district and local law
enforcement would all have to sign off
on arming School staffers with State
approval Tennessee is set to become at
least the 30th state to allow teachers
to carry guns in some K through 12
schools but a recent Nationwide poll
found 54% of teachers believe arming
Educators would make schools less safe
compared to just 20% who believe it
would make schools safer the Tennessee
bill now moves to the governor’s desk
and he is expected to sign it the
federal government has banned
non-compete agreements for workers the
move prevents companies from limiting an

Administration has also finalized a rule
that could make 4 million more Americans

it’s Wednesday April 24th and in a world
without row can a state really ban every
abortion we start
here the Supreme Court prepares to hear
a landmark case challenging one of the
most stringent laws in the nation a
federal law here does conflict with
Idaho’s law and other states laws could
there in fact still be a kind of
national right to abortion we’ll preview
the arguments the FBI stumbled when they
needed it the most their failures
allowed over 100 children to continue
being abused now the victims of Larry
Nasser are getting a massive settlement
and Walmart promised to recycle your
plastic bags but did they know it was
going here 9,000 Mi away in Indonesia
and Malaysia our team investigates why
your plastic might end up in a poor
community on the other side of the world
from ABC News this is start here I’m
Brad
milky most Democrats thought Florida was
pretty much out of play this election
cycle in recent years the state has
turned a pretty reliable shade of red
but yesterday President Biden arrived
there for a campaign event and he seemed
fired up that’ll be all of us who
restore those rights for women in
America see the difference between a few
years ago and right now is the end of Ro
v Wade in fact specifically about a
month from now Florida is set to enact a
state ban on abortions past 6 weeks of
pregnancy which since most women don’t
know they’re pregnant by then is
effectively a ban on all abortions I
don’t think we’re going to let them get
away with it do
you this plan is so radical that
Democrats now think they can maybe just
maybe carry the state at the polls
because they think by November voters
will have a better sense of how
impactful and Lasting these abor
restrictions will be in fact later today
the US Supreme Court is about to hear a
case that could Define just how far
states can go big day ahead of us let’s
start with Kate Shaw she’s a law
professor at upen she’s also an ABC News
Supreme Court contributor Kate what is
the significance of this case in
Washington today Brad it’s a really
significant case I think both for actual
pregnant women in states with really
restrictive abortion laws but also for
giving us a sense of really what this
post row landscape is going to look like
in the coming years um so this case is
about emergency rooms and medical care
for people in crisis so actually people
experiencing healthy pregnancies this
case isn’t about that at all what this
case is about is if a woman presents at
an emergency room in a state like Idaho
which is where this case is out of that
has very very restrictive abortion laws
but where Federal Law requires the ER to
provide stabilizing care to a woman in
crisis essentially which body of law
controls Idaho has a very restrict RVE
law that basically says abortions are
only permitted to save a patient’s life
um and there is a rape exception but a
narrow one but federal law says in
emergency rooms where hospitals receive
federal funds if a person’s health is
threatened by a medical emergency the
doctors have to provide whatever
appropriate care is necessary to
preserve the patient’s life and their
health and if that care involves
performing an abortion then federal law
protects doctor’s ability to perform
those abortions so we have a conflict
Ido says no abortions essentially unless
the patient is at death’s door but
federal law says that the doctor thinks
an abortion is necessary to you know
prevent major organ failure or
impairment of future fertility or other
very serious health threats than the
doctors permitted to perform the
abortion so the question is which body
of law controls I see because when roie
Wade went away it’s like there’s no more
standard for abortions in this country
at a federal level you’re saying there
still could be a standard of care for
women and maybe that involves an
abortion right before dos overturned Row
versus Wade the Federal Constitution
protected some right to access abortion
when row went away States had
essentially free reign to restrict or
even to prohibit abortion in the way
that Idaho is done but there are other
bodies of law that remain intact and a
federal law here does conflict with
Idaho’s law and other states laws and so
the stakes for individuals who have
high-risk pregnancies who might find
themselves in some kind of of Crisis and
might need to seek emergency room care
are incredibly high but beyond this this
particular case this is a reminder that
when dos said the abortion question is
going to be left to the states each
state can decide for themselves what to
do about abortion that was never really
a settlement that was going to hold and
why people travel from one state to
another individuals access hospitals
that are constrained by federal rules
and regulations so this kind of
state-by-state solution was never going
to be a particularly durable one but I
do think that a majority of this court
is very very skeptical of protection for
abortion we saw that on display in the
do’s opinion and so I think there is a
chance that the court could rule against
the federal government and in favor of
Idaho um which I think would you know
subject individuals in this post dobs
landscape to potentially more
uncertainty and vulnerability about
their ability to access needed Medical
Care well and which brings my mind back
to what I was mentioning earlier with
President Biden and how Democrats think
that this is this galvanizing force and
I know that you think about the law I
know justices are supposed to be above
Petty electoral politics but clearly
this is a center piece of a campaign
year now so I mean will the political
landscape play a role in court today I
think it’s entirely possible so the
court actually has two big abortion
cases it’s considering this term today’s
case about emergency care but also the
case about mistone the medication
abortion drug and I imagine that the
justices are thinking to a degree about
the election year back drop that they
are operating against so I think that
with a myth of prone case I think there
is a real chance the justices will
dismiss that case on standing grounds
and I think that’s legally correct but I
also think it might be influenced by
their awareness of the likely you know
seismic consequences it would have if
the Supreme Court really severely
restricted access to Mya prone so I
don’t think they’re going to be
completely oblivious to the election
your
background it seems possible that if the
court here rules for Idaho and rules in
favor of a very restrictive abortion law
then that too could you know at least on
the margins increase the salience of
abortion as an election-year issue and
potentially benefit the Democrats and
that’s something that justices May well
be aware of yeah it’s like the
overarching message here is is if you
thought you were done thinking about
Federal abortion policy think again
because we know that Women’s Health and
abortion intersect in many many ways
according to doctors so uh Kate Shaw big
case today thank you so much for teeing
it up thank you Brad
Dr Larry Nasser was convicted in 2018
you do not
deserve to walk outside of a prison ever
again remember this was a doctor who
worked for USA Gymnastics and for
decades sexually abused athletes under
the guise of keeping them healthy in
2018 many of these gymnasts were able to
watch Nasser be sentenced and while we
all are moving
mountains you Larry
will have no
choice but to sit in prison and wait to
die however that’s not where the story
ends because Nasser they said was not
the only one who failed them to be clear
I blame Larry Nasser and I also
blame an entire
system that enabled and perpetrated his
abuse they spoke out about gymnastics
officials and coaches but also law
enforcement because remember some of
these gymnasts had been reporting this
behavior for years the FBI and others
within both USAG and usopc knew that
Nasser molested children and did nothing
to restrict his access what is the point
of reporting abuse if our own FBI agents
are going to take it upon themselves to
bury that report in a
drawer well yesterday the Department of
Justice agreed to settle when more than
a 100 victims over the action or should
I say lack of action by the FBI ABC’s
Alex Malin covers the justice department
Alex this was a huge settlement right
what can you tell us about it yeah and
Brad it was really years in the making
the justice department announced
yesterday that it had reached a$
138.74503
is this is you know separate from the
reporting system that they went through
to go to the USA Gymnastics and
University of Michigan State this was
the fact that they had brought these
claims straight to the FBI and the FBI
both failed to act and specific agents
slow walked and engaged in misconduct in
bringing those claims to where they
should have gone and and and launching a
criminal investigation of Nasser yeah I
think the first complaints to the FBI
were reportedly like in 2015 and then
nothing happened for 15 months how
blatant was this in the eyes of the
gymnasts yeah I mean this was all kind
of covered in An Inspector General
report that was uh released back in 2021
the FBI waited weeks from the initial
report to undertake any investigative
activity the FBI failed to timely
interview key Witnesses the FBI failed
to properly document witness statements
and store evidence the FBI failed to
inform state and local authorities of
Nas’s abuse when it believed the assault
allegation likely did not fall within
Federal jurisdiction and Brad when this
report came out it really looked into
the actions of two FBI agents who were
serving in the Indi Indianapolis field
office it found that one of the agents
actually made false statements when he
was interviewed by investigators with a
connection of how he handled these
allegations that were brought forward
one senior FBI official went so far as
to seek a job with USA Gymnastics CEO at
the same time he was overseeing the
FBI’s has failed investigative effort
just these blatant examples of
misconduct and to note that the FBI
would come forward multiple times to say
we are reopening this criminal
investigation into these two agents to
determine whether we can charge them
that’s just something the FBI very
rarely does but again this warranted in
their mind such a serious breach of
conduct that they had to do that yeah I
mean that’s important to say charges
never filed here which means never
really an omission of wrongdoing by the
agents themselves and attorneys
representing the victims have criticized
that decision so at the end of the day
though Alex I mean this is more than
$100 million of taxpayer money that is
going to write these clear wrongs is
there a lesson for the FBI or the doj
like is there a bigger takeaway from any
of this I mean this is not just the
first time this year Brad that we’ve
heard from the doj enter into a
settlement where it’s been found to have
not properly conducted itself during the
course of the investigation you had that
massive you know nearly $150 million
that were paid out um to victims of the
2017 shooting at the Southerland Springs
Church in Texas you had another uh $127
million settlement that was paid out to
victims of the Parkland High School
shooting and so obviously this you know
this settlement now means that these
claims of wrongdoing are resolved for
now um these are things though that
these victims are going to be dealing
with and have been dealing with um for
the rest of their lives I’m deeply
grateful accountability with the justice
department has been a long time in
coming their failures allowed over 100
children to continue being abused but I
think it’s also important to recognize
that this is the first step the failures
that we see happening with the FBI and
the justice department really are just a
blown up picture of what’s Happening all
over the country to survivors that don’t
have press coverage there’s been victims
of Larry Nasser who have died by Suicide
we know of um and so these things are
lifelong uh and there’s not something
that you can actually put a price tag on
it we know that the FBI director Chris
Ray who was not serving uh as the leader
of the FBI during the time that these uh
uh violations happened he he came for
with a remarkable personal apology
during an appearance before Congress we
need to remember the pain that occurred
when our folks failed to do their jobs
we need to study it we need to learn
from it it was really striking to hear
him apologize directly to the victims of
Larry Nasser and how the FBI failed them
and again this IG report did recommend a
series of changes in kind of the
bureaucratic handling of complaints when
they’re brought forward by the FBI but
it really points to just how these two
FBI agents in the Indianapolis field
office really stepped outside the bounds
of what was proper here and it’s hard to
often police that when you have a
massive organization like the FBI right
cuz you could talk about bad apples all
you want but if you’re not catching the
bad apples then that’s a problem with
your organization and the cost of all
that to taxpayers is a distant cry from
anything that these victims have faced
uh Alex Malon great work reporting on
the justice department thank you thanks
Brad
in this country we love to tell
ourselves that we recycle companies tell
us they’re trying to get to net zero
emissions we tell our neighbors that we
religiously fill up our recycling bins
but there’s a big difference between
saying something is getting recycled and
actually recycling it last year our
investigative team with the help of some
of our ABC stations around the country
did a project that every other
journalist including me wishes they had
thought of first they said you know
those bins at grocery stores that claim
to recycle your plastic bags well what
if we stuck trackers inside some plastic
bags we put them in those bins and see
if any of them actually go to recycling
centers what they found next was
astonishing many of these trackers
started popping up at landfills and
incinerators the vast majority of them
never pinged anywhere near a recycling
site but some of these trackers seem to
travel even farther around the world on
a journey that some activists call Waste
colonialism this week a week of stories
focusing on the power of us Matt Gutman
is back with us to walk us through these
alarming discoveries Matt another reason
you focused on plastic shopping bags is
cu they’re notoriously hard to recycle
compared to glass or aluminum or paper
where did some of these plastic bags go
well it really depends but we deposited
46 trackers Brad 43 of them we know did
not end up in facilities that do
recycling they were either landfilled or
incinerated or somehow else disposed of
but three of them ended up on the other
side of the globe 9,000 MI away in
Indonesia and Malaysia these were three
trackers that we dropped off at Walmart
stores one in New York one in Florida
one in Kansas okay here’s one of the
drop
offs and we didn’t quite expect them to
wind up all the way across the world um
and we knew that this had happened but
it took us some time to figure out and
try to track and Trace how they wound up
there all we want to know is where you
send the plastic bags that are ear mark
for recycling like that’s the question
but we’ve been asking her for months and
months we just want to talk to people
and what we learned is that there is a
very
complex sometimes very misunderstood
world of plastic exports that happens in
this country and people think that
they’re doing the right thing they’re
trying to make the effort to deposit
these plastic bags in the recycling bins
that are designated for recycling and it
just doesn’t always end up the way they
think it does um you said that these
ended up in places like Indonesia and
Malaysia what’s what’s why Malaysia in
2018 China banned the import of plastic
and so that’s where we used to send most
of our plastic for many years and they
would somehow recycle it or change it or
just dump it but China decided this was
not something it wanted to keep doing
and stopped it in 2018 and other
countries picked up the Baton and
countries like Malaysia and Indonesia
started to import our
plastic the problem Brad is that so
often the plastic that we send is not
recyclable it’s plastic waste that ends
up just being chucked or dumped or
burned in other people’s
countries we have about 30 uh thousand
resident here SED by Forest SED by river
we met an activist named P Pang who has
been working against some of these
facilities that uh take in the plastic
and then either uh try to convert it to
pristine plastic to recycle it or end up
dumping it or incinerating it people
from amican you created too much of your
waste that is a problem now and she’s
been fighting this for years you see
Italy Ireland and she showed us the
backs of the facilities where they are
allegedly dumping plastic waste right
into rivers So This Is How They Dum
their wayist and then this is just in
the backyard of the factory the plastic
fragments of our trash sometimes ends up
in the very fabric of the soil on leaves
on Blades of grass just sort of been
meshed in the nature there of what used
to be this pristine jungle we have a
broken system we are not as capable as
the your people thing that we can handle
your wayte so it was pretty jarring to
see the result of what happens when we
try to to recycle plastic in this
country and where it ends up and and not
just that but think about it what is the
carbon footprint of trying to send a
shipment of plastic 9,000 mil away when
you’re going to put it in the landfill
anyway you’re just spending all that
extra CO2 to do it exactly I mean our
analysis of shipping data estimates that
shipping all that plastic 9,000 miles
away round Africa up to Asia pumped more
than 100,000 metric tons of CO2 in the
atmosphere just over the past 3 years
and this is just for shipping plastic
wait and so just so I’m getting it right
Matt is like why are these companies
taking all this plastic if it’s not
going to be recyclable is it just the
idea that companies here in the US are
so desperate to get rid of it that
they’re like yeah if you’re recycling it
we’ll pay you to take it off our hands
and so there are companies around the
world being like great you’ll pay us who
who knows what happens to it after that
but we’ll take your money for sure yeah
and some of them actually want the
plastic if it is the kind of quality
plastic that can be recycled it’s
valuable the problem is a lot of the
plastic is contaminated and it’s of poor
quality which means it ends up having to
be incinerated or
dumped and so what we found Brad is that
some of these companies according to
data that we got from the Malaysian
Parliament says that at least one of
these companies that our trackers went
to does not have a license to import
apparently um another one of the
companies does have a license to import
but the question is you know this is a a
gray Zone at times of where this plastic
ends up who ends up buying it and what
they end up doing with it the bottom
line is American consumers who think
they’re doing the right thing by
dropping off their perfectly pristine
and clean plastic bags at plastic bag
recycling bins at countless big box
stores across the country they don’t
know that the vast majority of what
they’re dropping in does not end up
getting reced in fact some of it gets
chipped thousands of miles away possibly
to be dumped in another country’s
backyard right and I know the thing
you’ve been driving home has been like
it’s not like recycling doesn’t work
it’s specific so often to plastic
basically and especially plastic bags is
the moral of the story then Matt on the
US side of this that they are like what
are the companies doing about it are
they fine essentially sending this stuff
off just so that they’re able to say
it’s been recycled or are they genuinely
in the dark that this is just ending up
in the backyard of like this activist I
think that’s unclear what we do know is
that we’ve been trying to ask Walmart
these very questions for a year and a
half and they have declined our requests
for interviews let’s get time to talk
about this I’d love to learn more about
well we have a room actually right here
if if you would come I’m sorry we
actually went to a conference where we
found Walmart’s Chief sustainability
officer and asked these very questions
we’ve been trying to for over a year now
and we’ve been flatly rejected by your
team okay um so I wonder if you would go
on the record because this is important
and oh yeah email me let’s sit down
let’s do an interview and of course we
did just that we planned an interview
they offered a date we said okay we’ll
be there and then just a few days before
they cancelled that date and they didn’t
answer any of our specific questions
about plastic recycling and then just
sent us a statement from the
company and they basically said that
they strive to do the right thing noting
that their program isn’t perfect but
they said it does provide recycl access
to millions of customers they also said
they’re changing some of what they do
that they’re continuously improving
their recycling including new contracts
requiring companies to uh prove the
collected materials are recycled as much
as practicable the challenge will be to
bring some pretty desperate groups
together there are some groups that uh
believe that we should basically keep
producing what you produce and recycle
your way out of the problem so if you
pull all of the consultants and
everybody working on the plastic
pollution problem the one thing pretty
much everybody agrees upon is that the
only way to truly stop the plastic
pollution problem is to cap the
production of new plastic basically make
less of it it sounds like you’re saying
something kind of Novel for the US
government it sounds like you’re willing
to accept putting limits and capping the
production of new Plastic Products not
necessarily not necessarily but a
representative of the US government a
senior level Diplomat for the state
department who is working on this
possibly historic UN treaty on plastic
pollution told us that the US government
is not going to put a cap on plastic
production such a bizarre industry with
tentacles like you said all over the
world this special by the way called
trashed the secret life of plastic
exports premiered on ABC News live last
night it is streaming on Hulu right now
this morning Matt Gutman our chief
National correspondent thank you so much
thanks Brad and one last thing this
country might soon have a lot more free
agents the motion passes three to two
yesterday the Federal Trade Commission
voted to do something it’s talked about
for more than a year ban the practice of
non-compete clauses for American
employees a non-compete clause in your
contract means you can’t go to work for
a rival company sometimes even after
your current employment has ended like
if you work at a tech firm you might not
be able to go work at another one for a
year or two the idea is simple the
coca-colas of the world don’t want their
employees heading to Pepsi with a secret
recipe but this has become about a lot
more than Trade Secrets and chief
Engineers when you got this lawsuit what
was your
reaction I was shocked this is the
demand letter I got ABC has spoken to
employees who have been sued by their
former employers when they’re not
walking out the door with any
proprietary knowledge more and more
often they say these Clauses are used to
Simply dissuade employees from leaving
for a better salary people think this is
about folks in the boardroom but it’s
not it’s also about hair stylists it’s
about security guards people all across
the income Spectrum at this point the
FTC estimates one in five Americans has
signed some sort of non-compete Clause
some are fast food workers even small
businesses have started putting this in
their contracts we follow what the big
boys do and if they put
non-competes we’ll do non-competes which
is why yesterday chairwoman Lena Khan
announced that 120 days from now no new
contracts can include Provisions like
this anywhere in the country even
existing non-compete clauses will be
null and void for the vast majority of
employees this rule in particular could
affect workers livelihoods and the
viability of small businesses and
startups and so it was especially
important to me that we be able to
provide some additional visibility and
public accountability she says thousands
of workers will now be able to start
their own businesses that compete with
their old ones fairer competition will
raise salaries and since so many of
these non-competes are for healthcare
workers healthcare costs for the rest of
us could even go down there’s already
legal push back here so much in fact
that the 120-day waiting period could
just be the beginning the US Chamber of
Commerce the pro business group in DC
says this will hurt businesses and
employees because the sense of trust
will be gone employees today uh are
often exposed to things that while may
not be technically Trade Secrets really
are kind of the secret sauce for how a
company’s going to operate but employees
who say they routinely pressured to sign
these contracts with little negotiation
say there wasn’t a ton of trust in the
first place and if this rule goes
through you can trust they’ll be looking
at all their
[Music]
options the FTC also said a current
contract can stand if the employee is a
senior executive I got a feeling a lot
of people are about to find out their
companies consider them senior
Executives even if they don’t get paid
like it more on all these stories at ABC

hi I’m Diane Meo today on ABC News live
first the abortion rights Showdown the
Supreme Court is set to hear arguments
challenging Idaho’s near total ban
what’s at stake and what’s expected in
court the clock is ticking for Tik Tock
a bill with an ultimatum for the social
media app is now headed to the
president’s desk what it says and how
Tik Tock plans to fight back
conflict on college campuses police and
riot gear clash with Pro Palestinian
protesters arresting hundreds what the
students are demanding and the warning
one Ivy League school is giving
them and a dangerous infection on the
rise in New York City what could be
lingering in the Subways and the warning
from Health
officials but we begin with the US
Supreme Court set to hear arguments
about a near total ban on abortion in
Idaho the justices will decide whether a
federal law governing emergency care
protects abortion access at hospitals if
a woman’s health is at risk the
proceeding comes after President Biden
blasted former president Trump at a
campaign event in Florida over a
six-week abortion ban taking effect in
that state next
week for 50 years the Court ruled that
there was a fundamental constitutional
right of
privacy but two years ago that was taken
away let’s be real clear there’s one
person
responsible for this nightmare and he’s
acknowledging and he brags about it
Donald Trump he says it’s up to the
states and this is all about state
rights but he’s wrong the Supreme Court
was wrong it should be a constitutional
right in the Federal
Constitution ABC News senior
Congressional correspondent Rachel Scott
joins me now along with ABC News
political contributor as malled for more
Rachel this is the first time the
Supreme Court will consider the scope of
aate abortion ban since overturning roie
Wade so what’s at stake here the stakes
here are huge Diane what the justices
ultimately decide could determine when
doctors provide emergency medical
abortions look at the center of this
case is the state of Idaho which does
have an abortion ban in nearly all cases
it has a narrow exception that includes
to save the life of the mother but what
the justice department is arguing here
is that even in states with near total
abortion bans they say that under
federal law hospitals are still required
to terminate a pregnancy if the
patient’s health or if their life is at
risk and what the justice department is
pointing to here is a law that was
passed decades ago before Row versus
Wade was overturned this law was
initially created to ensure that
hospitals can’t really turn away uh
patients who do not have insurance so on
the other side of this you do have
anti-abortion rights Advocates who are
insisting that the bid Administration is
misusing this law to try to justify
access to abortion
Diane and Rachel the Supreme Court’s
also hearing arguments on the abortion
drug myth of pyone what can we expect
there yeah mea prisone that is the
abortion pill that is used in more than
half of abortions in the United States
so this could have a Major Impact even
in the states where abortion is
currently legal what the Supreme Court
is taking up will not decide whether or
not mop prone is banned alog together
but the justices could decide to further
regulate the drug the FDA sort of rolled
back these restrictions allowing that
pill to be used up until 10 weeks of
pregnancy instead of just seven allowing
it to also be prescribed by male and so
if the justices believe that those FDA
regulations went too far that they need
to be rolled back then that could have a
big impact because a lot of women still
don’t find out that they’re pregnant
pregnant until six weeks of pregnancy
Diane now ASA 21 states have enacted new
bans and restrictions on abortion access
after the Supreme Court overturned roie
Wade now abortion is expected to be on
the ballot in a number of States
including in Florida where President
Biden held that campaign event so how
big of an issue is this for the upcoming
election it’s a huge issue um we saw
this in the midterms I think many of us
who cover politics thought that other
issues like the inflation or the economy
might be Paramount But ultimately it was
abortion that was the single most
important issue for many voters and look
I think regardless of whatever the
Supreme Court decides in this Idaho case
or the Mier prone case what this means
is that the Supreme Court decision that
will come down in June or July the
summer before the elections means that
ultimately abortion is an issue will be
back in the National Spotlight for many
voters and I think that does Advantage
Democrats um we’ve seen that time and
again when the issue of abortion access
reproductive access has been put
directly to voters voters have chosen to
expand Reproductive Rights uh I think
the big question is we have yet to see
an election where Joe Biden or Donald
Trump’s name is also at the top of the
ticket
Rachel what’s at stake for the president
here depending on how the Supreme Court
rules look we know that the Biden
campaign is putting the issue of
abortion rights front and center you saw
the president just yesterday he was in
Florida a state that’s just days away
from enacting a six- week abortion ban
again many women don’t even know that
they’re pregnant until after 6 weeks of
pregnancy and and you heard there from
Austina that you it in all the states
where abortion rights has been on the
ballot the side of abortion rights has
won and so Democrats see this as a
galvanizing issue ahead of the November
election they’re going to be looking to
continue to drive this home hoping to
Galvanize not only Democrats but also
independent voters who see this as a
critical issue as well Diane now Asma
this afternoon Arizona State lawmakers
will reconvene to debate a civil war
error law that bans nearly all abortions
earlier this month former president
Trump said abortion is a state’s rights
issue but that Arizona went too far with
this law so what are you watching for
there well what we’re seeing is that in
Arizona Democratic State lawmakers are
trying to repeal that um that piece of
legislation you mentioned it’s from the
1800s in fact it predates Arizona even
being a state uh as a part of the United
States so it’s quite an old Relic and so
Democratic lawmakers in the state are
trying to repeal that they’re bringing
that that repeal again today the big
question is if any sort of more moderate
Republicans might be willing to join
forces with them and I think there is a
question if that that might happen
because at the same time there is a
constitutional ballot referendum that
Arizona is trying to get many activists
are trying to get on the November ballot
and Republicans in the state are worried
um the Republicans I was down on the
ground reporting on this issue in
Arizona are worried that if a Arizona
puts this issue directly to voters which
is likely to happen it advantages the
Democratic
party Rachel Scott osma Khaled thank you
both and the $95 billion foreign aid
package is now headed to the White House
Congress passed a law to get Aid to
Ukraine Israel and Taiwan and it also
includes a potential ban on Tik Tock in
the US now the president is expected to
sign it into Law Senior White House
correspondent Selena Wang has the
details on how Tik Tock is fighting back
Hi Selena hey good morning to you Diane
the countdown for Tik Tok begins after
Congress just passed that law that could
ban Tik Tok in America but get ready for
a drawn out legal fight Tik Tok is going
to battle this in court saying it
violates your right to free
speech the yays are 7 9 the clock
ticking down for Tik Tok after the
Senate passed a bill overnight giving
the social media apps Chinese parent
company an ultimatum sell the app or get
banned in the US Tik Tock is a major
foreign threat the bill we are passing
today puts an end to that lawmakers in
both parties say Tik Tok is a serious
National Security risk they claim the
Chinese government could force Tik tok’s
owner bite dance to hand over Americans
data or use the app to spread
misinformation by promoting certain
content the platform is used by 170
million Americans many of whom make a
living off the app have you heard of the
syoni Tik Tok allows me that unique
ability to you know just go and be
myself in front of a large audience and
have people support my business because
they like who I am and what I’m about
Tik Tok denies sharing data with the
Chinese government and says it stores
data in the US but Senator Mark Warner
says critics of the potential ban have
not seen all the evidence at the end of
the today they’ve not seen what Congress
has seen they’ve not been in the
classified briefings that Congress has
held which have delved into more deeply
some of the threat posed by Foreign
control of Tik Tok bite dance will have
nine months to sell the platform if it
can’t or won’t sell Tik Tok would not
disappear from phones users would simply
be unable to update or download the app
and the legislation passed overnight
also includes 60 billion in aid for
Ukraine and billions more for Israel and
Taiwan the President says he’s going to
sign this into law today kicking off
that countdown clock for Tik Tok Diane
Selena Wang thank you and former
president Trump’s hust money trial is in
recess today but a decision on an
alleged gag order violation or several
of them I should say could come down at
any time this comes after the
prosecution’s first witness National
inquire publisher David pecker admitted
to the court that he used the Tabloid to
help Trump’s campaign senior
investigative correspondent Aon kki has
the
latest it was August 2 15 when former
National inquir publisher David pecker
said he was summoned to Trump Tower
Donald Trump had announced his candidacy
and pecker testified Trump and Michael
Cohen asked me what can I do and what my
magazines could do to help the campaign
pecker said the three men hatched a
confidential agreement the national
Inquirer would publish positive stories
about Trump and negative stories about
his opponents he said Cohen would send
me information about Ted Cruz or Ben
Carson or Marco Rubio and that was the
basis for our story and we would
embellish Trump Amplified one story
attempting to link Cruz’s father to the
Kennedy assassination what was he doing
with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before
the death before the shooting it’s it’s
horrible Becker testified the national
Inquirer created the story by claiming
to match photos of Cruz’s father with
pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald but that
wasn’t all pecker said he told Trump I
will be your eyes and ears agreeing to
purchase damaging stories so they would
not get published that includes a
$30,000 payment to a Trump World Tower
doorman who was shopping an unfounded
claim Trump fathered a child out of
wedlock which he denied the doorman Dino
sajudin spoke with GMA in 2018 did you
believe they were paying you to pursue
the story or to kill the story oh
initially I thought they would there was
really you know I the inquire report
story so I figured you know they they
were really they wanted to report the
story that’s what I thought but now now
as I look back on things it made sense
to me sense to me more so that they were
just pretty much trying to quiet me down
as pecker recounted the doorman’s claim
Trump silently shook his head after
court Trump complained about the limited
gag order meant to prevent him from
verbally attacking Witnesses we have a
gag order which to me is totally
unconstitutional I’m not allowed to talk
but people are allowed to talk about me
prosecutors accused Trump of repeatedly
violating the gag order and they said
it’s posing a real threat to the trial
when the defense insisted Trump is
complying the judge interjected you are
losing all
credibility and let’s bring in ABC News
senior investigative correspondent Aon
kki along with ABC News legal
contributor Kim wayy for more on this
Aaron prosecutors are alleging that
Trump violated this gag order at least
10 times what’s at stake for the former
president here potentially being held in
contempt of court prosecutors are asking
for a fine for each offending post so
that would amount to about
$10,000 but prosecutors also said that
it seems like Trump is angling for the
judge to throw and jail and in fact
Diane law enforcement sources have told
ABC news that the US secret service has
actually started preparing for that
possibility Unthinkable though it may be
now Kim Trump said yesterday that the
gag order is unconstitutional and
infringes on his freedom of speech in
court his lawyer argued that this was
all protected political speech but the
judge didn’t seem to buy that what did
you make of his response telling the
defense they’re losing
credibility well there is a First
Amendment right to free speech but it’s
not unlimited there are lots of
constraints um on speech under the First
Amendment and one of them is the
ensuring that there’s a fair trial and
there’s an administrator administration
of justice and safety for the people
involved so the judge is balancing that
you know I thought that comment was
directed at his lawyer essentially
saying you know help me control this guy
this is your client understanding that
Donald Trump just seems to not care
about the judge’s orders and as as Aaron
just indicated might even be Vine for
some accountability because that could
help him in his campaign get his
supporters behind him raise more money
and the judge has to understand that
could actually make things worse for the
people involved and less safe so it’s a
very fraught moment uh for this judge
and for this process because of Donald
Trump now eron David Pecker’s testimony
continues tomorrow but so far he’s
already said that he essentially agreed
to be the eyes and ears of the Trump
campaign for Trump and Michael Cohen
agreeing to kill negative stories about
Trump publish uh published negative
stories about his opponents and he said
this was something that he had not done
for Trump before that this started when
Trump started running for president in
2015 how critical is that well David
pecker and Donald Trump had a
long-standing relationship in fact
pecker wanted to publish a magazine
called Trump style he always said that
you put Trump this was around the time
of The Apprentice in the National
inquire it’s going to sell magazines but
the relationship changed after Trump’s
announcement of his candidacy when
pecker became the eyes and ears part of
this confidential agreement he did
something that he said the magazine had
not done before and that is buy up these
negative stories about Trump and then
bury them not publish them catch and
kill and the jury heard two examples the
one the doorman was shopping this
unfounded claim that Trump fathered a
child out of wedlock and then the story
of Karen McDougall the Playboy model who
said she had a year-long affair with
Trump and the jury left off there going
to pick up tomorrow hearing how the
national Inquirer paid McDougall
$150,000 for the rights to her story Kim
how crucial is the timeline that
Pecker’s laying out here saying that
this was in direct relation to the
election and how difficult will it then
be for the defense to try to argue that
this wasn’t related to the election that
this was a guy for example just trying
to protect himself from his family
finding out about these negative stories
yeah so that’s the the key element um
that raises these uh business records
offenses to felonies is this connection
allegedly to the election so it’s really
important for the for the government to
established that this was not about
protecting Melania and the timeline and
sort of not just the Stormy Daniels but
these other catch and kill incidents all
around the election I think is strong
for the government but on
cross-examination the you know I think
they can bring out that this is just
what happens in elections uh that’s one
of the strongest defenses potentially is
to persuade the jury maybe this happened
but does this really rise to the level
of a felony that should take uh
someone’s Liberty away potentially and
I’m I think we’re going to see that
theme throughout the rest of the trial
all right Aaron kerki Kim wayy thank you
both and college campuses are taking
steps to protect students as Pro

looking at the Supreme Court on this
Wednesday where justices are set to hear
arguments about a near total ban on
abortion in Idaho we will have coverage
on that all day long but first we have
some other news to get to here’s a
rundown right now the clock is ticking
for Tik Tok a bill that threatens to ban
the social media platform in in the US
is on its way to the president’s desk
the legislation gives Tik tok’s Chinese
parent company bite dance an ultimatum
sell the app or be shut down in this
country lawmakers on both sides claim
the Chinese government could force bite
dance to hand over Americans data or use
the app to spread misinformation the
platform is used by 170 million
Americans fite Dan is vowing to fight
the ban in court calling it a clear
violation of the First
Amendment tabloid publisher David pecker
is expected back on the stand tomorrow
in former president Trump’s criminal
hush money trial Hecker testified
yesterday about his relationship with
Trump and their catch and kill agreement
to keep unflattering stories about the
then candidate out of the media court is
in recess today but a ruling on Trump’s
alleged gag order violations could come
down at any time prosecutors are asking
the judge to hold Trump in contempt but
say they’re not seeking jail time still
law enforcement sources tell ABC news
that secret service is preparing for
that
possibility and check out this rescue at
a New Jersey pet hotel police saved 46
dogs after a fire in Fairfield forced an
evacuation of the facility Crews ran in
without breathing equipment to save the

[Music]
reported and a Tennessee Bill to allow
teachers to carry guns in schools is now
on its way to the governor’s desk house
House Republicans say it’s meant to
protect students but critics say it’s
put putting kids at risk this comes a
year after the deadly school shooting in
Nashville that killed six people
including three children ABC’s Andrea
Fuji has the
details many amid protests and after a
heated debate lawmakers in Tennessee
have approved a bill allowing certain
teachers to carry firearms in K through
12 schools critics claim it will only
make schools more dangerous this
amendment is to rename this bill the
refusal to protect kids in schools act
because that’s exactly what you all are
doing but one year after a gunman open
fire at the Covenant School in Nashville
killing six people including three young
students supporters of army teachers say
it will make a potential school shooter
think twice this bill it seeks to make
the bar so high but to allow the locals
to have the ability to do that that it
would create a deterrent across our
state the bill will allow teachers to
carry concealed handguns on a school
campus if they meet certain requirements
including a background check a
psychological evaluation and 40 hours of
firearms training also the principal
school district and local law
enforcement would all have to sign off
on arming School staffers with State
approval Tennessee is set to become at
least the 30th state to allow teachers
to carry guns in some K through 12
schools but a recent Nationwide poll
found 54% of teachers believe arming
Educators would make schools less safe
compared to just 20% who believe it
would make schools
safer our thanks Andrea fui for that
report and joining me now is the
president of the National Education
Association Becky Pringle for more on
this Becky you taught middle school
science for more than 30 years and you
say our elected leaders need to protect
children from gun violence Tennessee
State Republicans say teachers having
guns would do that what’s your reaction
to
that I it’s good to be with you this
morning Diane our teachers uh and other
Educators in Tennessee are saying what
they are saying all over this country we
just want to focus on teaching and
nurturing and taking care of our
students making sure they learn the
complete and true history of this
country making sure they have Arts and
Music in their curriculum that’s what we
want to focus on not being armed that is
not what we we’ve been trained to do nor
is it what we have time to do we need to
focus on arming our teachers and schools
with more books we need to arm them with
more resources plentiful resources and
we need to arm them with the mental
health professionals and supports our
students need Becky the law is not
forcing teachers be arms but allowing
those who want to be to be armed so what
do you say to teachers who feel with the
prevalence of school shootings that they
should be armed in the classroom that
they want to feel safer that
way I will tell you uh Diane that once
we have these conversations about arming
teachers as Educators we always feel
like we should be standing in the gap
to teach and nurture and keep our kids
safe and all Educators feel that weight
and that responsibility when these
conversations are being had that’s why
you see teachers all over the country
standing up and saying no this is not
what we need we need states to follow
the example of the bipartisan safer
Community act where we’re doing Common
Sense things to protect our students in
schools and in their community unities
and so Becky I’m out of time but quickly
what are some of those Common Sense
things we know we need stronger
background checks that’s something that
President Biden took on just a few weeks
ago we know we need more mental health
supports we know we need to ensure that
we have less guns not more all right
president of the National Education
Association Becky Pringle Becky we
appreciate your time today thank
you thank you and it may have just
gotten easier to quit your job the
Federal Trade Commission has voted to
ban not compete causes which could
affect one in five us workers ABC’s
Elizabeth Shel has the details on that
story a sweeping move by the Federal
Trade Commission could reshape the job
prospects of 30 million Americans the
motion passes 3 to2 the FTC voting to
ban non-compete agreements which prevent
workers from switching jobs to work for
a rival company the Nationwide Bank and
means workers applying for a new job
wouldn’t be forced to sign a non-compete
and almost all existing non-compete
clauses would be voided it’s clear that
the freedom to leave your job and take
another job is fundamental to a free and
fair economy the FTC says the ban will
boost workers wages by up to $488
billion do over 10 years because they’d
be free to seek out better paying jobs
small businesses uh startups are going
to benefit tremendous
for not having to work around
non-competes Jordan Kane is the COO of a
small Trucking and logistics company in
Mississippi he says 90% of job
applicants he finds are stuck in
non-competes if we didn’t have
non-competes that means that we could
quickly hire people that check all the
boxes for us but business groups
staunchly oppose the ban the US Chamber
of Commerce calling it a blatant power
grab that will undermine American
business’s ability to remain competitive
and Elizabeth Shela joins me now for
more on this Elizabeth right now this
band set to go into effect in August but
what kind of legal challenges does it
face a big legal challenge Diane we
already heard for the past year since
this was first proposed by the FTC the
US Chamber of Commerce which represents
big businesses across the country came
out and said it staunchly opposes this
ban it has basically now said that it’s
going to sue the FTC as soon as today it
argues that these non-competes are
essential to protect trade secrets to
keep competitiveness among companies and
so so you can expect that while this
should go into place in the next 120
days so looking in August for the FDC
ban that could be delayed by this legal
battle interesting all right Elizabeth
chela thank you thanks meanwhile the
Biden Administration is taking action to
protect airline passengers a new rule
would mandate an automatic refund to
anyone who has a flight canceled ABC
News Transportation correspondent Gio
bonitz is at LaGuardia Airport with the
latest goo hey there this is a major
change from the Department of
Transportation and again it affects your
money take a look at this because
passengers must now get automatic cash
refunds when a flight is canceled for
any reason or delayed by more than 3
hours for domestic flights more than 6
hours for international but there’s more
here if the airline changes any of your
airports adds connections downgrades
your seat or even changes your plane to
one that’s less accessible for those
with disabilities those are all new
reasons for cash refunds also the
smaller issues here too if your checked
bags aren’t delivered within as little
as 12 hours or your Wi-Fi didn’t work
you’re entitled to refunds there too and
you should get that money back within 7
days but I’ve got to tell you here it’s
not going to happen right away and
that’s because the dot says that
Airlines need time to put this in place
there’s a deadline though they have six
months to do it Diane Transportation
correspondent Gio bonitz thank you

live this is the first time you are
sitting down like this to tell your
story Britney are you ready you’ve been
told to go through your bag and you felt

my life is over right here you’ve just
been told you’re going to be 9 years in
one of the worst prisons in
Russia Britney Griner Robin Roberts
prisoner in Russia next Wednesday night
on
ABC welcome back the Food and Drug
Administration says it’s found remnants
of the bird flu virus and samples of
pasteurized milk the agency issued a
statement saying the samples came from
dairy cows known to be infected but it
is stressing the US milk supply is safe
to drink the statement says the
pasteurizing process made it so the
virus could not be passed on the
announcement comes nearly a month after
Aven influenza virus was detected in
dairy cows in at least eight
states and now it’s time for Patell like
it is where Dr Al Batel shows Health
advice on the topics that mattered most
to you and today today we’re talking
about a rise of human infections from
rat urine here’s Dr Patel with
more human infections from rat urine are
on the rise in New York City what is
happening I’m ABC News medical
contributor Dr Lo Patel and here’s what
you need to know the New York Department
of Health and mental hygiene has issued
a health advisory after multiple cases
of human leptospirosis an infection
that’s associated with exposure to rat
urine having reported in New York City
2023 there are 24 reported cases higher
than any previous year and this year
there are already six how does this
happen well let’s get
scientific rats pigs horses dogs cattle
and other wild animals can get infected
with a bacteria called leptospira and
then spread the disease leptospirosis
through their urine and sometimes
infected animals can have no symptoms
and spread the disease for months even
years and I know what you’re thinking I
don’t touch animal urine man I hope
that’s what you’re thinking but you
wouldn’t always know if you did sorry
that’s nature and any contact with
infected soil water or food in your eyes
mouth nose or through broken skin can
spread disease the NYC Health Department
lists handling trash bags or food waste
as a potential cause of some of these
cases and remember if you accidentally
swim in or drink contaminated water you
can also get infected while
leptospirosis is relatively rare in the
United States the recent reports in New
York City tell us that it’s still around
and there are good habits we can all
follow like wearing gloves or shoes if
you’re handling trash or soil managing
rodent infestations and maybe not
swimming in potentially contaminated
water and if you develop any symptoms
such as a high fever muscle aches
vomiting rash and have had occupational
or recreational exposure to animals you
should talk to your
doctor and Dr L Batel joins me now for
more on this Dr Batel that was a lot to
unpack and it is a little gross so let’s
get into this what exactly is this
disease and who is most at
risk well Diane I appreciate your facial
expressions with all this because any
headlines about animal urine spreading
infection is likely going to raise some
eyebrows now in the United States there
are about 100 to 150 reported cases
worldwide there’s 500,000 to about a
million these are both likely under
reported now people who are most at risk
or anyone who may come in contact with
contaminated water either through OCC
occupational or recreational exposure
but also people who may be working
directly with animals now with all these
cases that are reported the majority
happen to happen in humid or tropical
climates or in the settings that I
described in the United States according
to the CDC about 50% of cases happen in
Puerto Rico so it is everywhere but
likely localized to these specific
scenarios so what are the signs and
symptoms of leptospirosis did I say it
right you did did I’m impressed with
that so
leptospirosis can present in a broad set
of symptoms like fever vomiting muscle
aches and fatigue and if left untreated
it can pres progress to a more severe
phase that could include kidney liver
failure even menitis now I know people
are thinking like that’s really broad
how could I actually tell you may not
always be able to tell because symptoms
could pop up as early as a few days to a
month after your initial exposure and
I’ll tell people I have taken care of
people in the hospital specifically one
teenager I think about who had flu
symptoms for about two weeks and they
were getting progressively worse we
finally found out that he had exposure
to contaminated water during a trip to
Hawaii and that’s how the diagnosis of
leptospirosis came to be so it is really
important that you have symptoms like
this that you stay calm you talk to a
doctor and you mention any potential
exposures you may have had if your
symptoms cannot be explained by a
respiratory virus or something else so
how can we avoid Contracting this and
what’s the treatment if you do the most
important thing that people can do is
pay attention to the type of freshwater
or water sources that you’re around if
water looks dirty if there’s animals
nearby if there are sewage pipes if you
question it you probably shouldn’t swim
in that water this is a lot of cases are
spread by contaminated water and
obviously this risk can increase during
Hurricane or flooding season if you’re
working with contaminated water or soil
or animals wearing gloves protected
Footwear and PPE is Extreme extremely
important if you do get sick fortunately
there are antibiotics that can handle
cases of leptospirosis if you have a
severe case IV antibiotics and
supportive care may be needed and
remember to manage those rodent
infestations hey New Yorkers in the
words of senior producer Kate Fallon
rats don’t run this city we
do all right Dr Batel thank you for that
and Dr Batel is taking your questions
leave a message on our Instagram feed at

welcome back it’s that time of year for
spring cleaning and that can involve
getting rid of a lot of old clothes but
have you ever wondered where that
clothing goes after you put it in the
donation bin as part of our Earth week
series The Power of us Chief me
meteorologist Ginger Z tracked where
your garments
go in the scramble of the spring clean
you might be haunted by piles of
clothing that you then put in that
bag and then that bag is often kind of
blindly donated a donation site or a bin
like this but what we learned is that
most of the clothing that’s going in
there is not staying in the United
States what donation centers can’t sell
or give away They smash together into
th000 lb bail
and sell it per pound or per kilo to
exporters sorters and then they will
ship it to various places around the
world normally in the global South the
United States exports the most
secondhand clothing in the world two
times the amount that China exported in
the latest data from 2019 most of our
hand-me-downs are exported to Latin
America and Africa the research that was
coming out of Ghana was that 40% of that
clothing wasn’t sold and so it ended up
you know being just waste that waste is
infamously showing up in landfills from
Kenya to
Chile I’ve been painfully aware of all
of that for years and the last thing I
want is for my donations to end up in a
landfill so in my closet it’s not just
one bag but many bags that are supposed
to go to all the right places the spot
that says we’ll take your holy clothes
that are damaged the one for
unmentionables the one for sneakers the
tech bag after bag after bag I just want
one place to send it all and that is
when my phone read my mind and gave me
trashy trashy is a company that says
we’ll take it all the shoes underwear
stained t-shirts just pay 20 bucks for
this bag and they claim it will get to
the right
place I packed up my bag and went to El
Paso to see the process and so we’ll
open your bag okay great yep so she’s
going to put the towel towel in the
linen uhhuh shoes in the shoes shoes and
so when we talk about sorting and
Grading that really is the process for
figuring out what’s in your bag
what has value where it can go what can
be reused what can be recycled and so
that is a really important part of the
process for keeping things out of
landfill and is that not happening after
we donate to a regular place I mean the
reality is that different donation
centers have different priorities and so
globally we throw about 85% of textiles
into landfill is there a way to
guarantee that my towel doesn’t end up
in a landfill there is no way to
100% guarantee that at some point it
won’t end up there the thing that we do
to guarantee it won’t end up putting a
landfill soon is making sure it’s the
right quality the right Market the right
price for that market and companies like
retold and subset are doing the same the
secondhand Market has taken a lot of
heat for those landfills lately but
fashion and environmental experts say
they’re not the problem are they a bit
of the unsung hero there’s no magical
place that they’re able to put these
garments so it’s still going places but
I feel like the blame is pinned on them
when the blame should be the industry
that is producing them to begin
with the US exported more than
158,000 tons of used clothing in 1991
less than 30 years later we are
exporting more than five times that
volume so what can we do stop buying
clothing that’s really the first one you
could take the no new clothes challenge
with me I’m almost 2 years or you buy
only secondhand that actually works in
the no new clothes or you can also try
this widget called Benny I’ve been using
it it helps you automatically shop and
see where you can find an item that you
really need and really will use where
you can find it secondhand when you do
buy a new you just buy quality and
something that you know you’ll love and
you can kind of work out that cost per
wear Diane good tips Chief meterologist
and editor of our climate unit Ginger Z
thank you and as we celebrate earthquake
we’re also speaking to to an
award-winning Chef who’s dedicated her
life’s work to veganism and
sustainability Priyanka Nike says she’s
trying to reshape the gastronomic
landscape and teaching others how to
make their kitchens eco-friendly and
Priyanka Nike joins me now for more on
how we can all do this Priyanka thanks
so much for coming on you know as a chef
why do you think it’s so important to go
green especially in the kitchen and what
are some steps that we can take at home
to make our kitchens more
eco-friendly well good morning and thank
you for having me obviously this topic
is so relevant to me and I really have
dedicated my my love for cooking around
this but food is one of the top three
contributors to uh carbon emissions and
waste especially in the US over 92
billion pounds of food is wasted in the
us alone so we can really start by
making a change in our kitchen you
certainly don’t need to be a chef in
order to do this for instance I live in
a big city so I don’t have access to a
backyard or soil so what I do is I take
my scraps and I actually freeze it in a
compostable container and then I take it
to my local farmers market and I compost
it there or I actually use the scraps to
repurpose them into new dishes so for
instance you can take garlic Peels and
onion peels you can bake it on low in
the oven and create onion and garlic
powder or you can use your scraps to
make a vegetable stock which I know
everyone is familiar with the other
thing I love to do is taking fresh fresh
fruits and vegetables and freezing them
at their Peak freshness so these are
some fresh cranberries I had to use them
for a recipe but I certainly was not
going to eat one pound bag of
cranberries so I decided to freeze them
and now I can use it for baking for
cocktails or just to thaw and eat when I
want to enjoy some cranberries and the
last thing is leftovers so I love
packing all of my food at restaurants
make sure to even pack that free bread
that you get this is some leftover rice
from from some Indian t out that I had
I’m going to repurpose this into a rice
and bean veggie burger later it’s going
to be so hearty and so healthy and this
food is going to end up in my stomach
rather than in the trash I love that you
save your money and the planet at the
same time and pranka you also say some
of meals themselves are greener than
others so what are some ways that we can
prepare more climate conscious food at
home certainly I think the the first the
first thing anyone can do is reduce your
meat intake I am vegan I certainly do
not expect everyone to go vegan
overnight but even just reducing your
red meat intake will minimize the use of
water in our agricultural system because
red meat uses the most water to be
produced so even going meatless a few
times a week can really help create
Greener meals but also using all of the
produce so some of the clips you’re
seeing I’m using watermelon rinds to
make a pickle out of I use Carrot Tops
to make a pesto so Really Trying to
minimize all of the uh waste from the
vegetable the produce and making sure
that your dishes are colorful the more
colorful your dishes are the more
nutrient-rich they are as
well all right Priyanka Nike thank you

[Music]
live hi I’m diano today news live first
the abortion rights Showdown the Supreme
Court is set to hear arguments
challenging Idaho’s near total ban
what’s at stake and what’s expected in
court the clock is ticking for tick a
bill with an ultimatum for the social
media app is now headed to the
president’s desk what it says and how
Tik Tock plans to fight
back conflict on college campuses police
and riot gear clash with a pro
Palestinian protesters or with a group
of them arresting hundreds what the
students are demanding and the warning
one Ivy League school is giving
them environmental inequity which
communities are feeling climate change
the most and what’s being done to stop
it during this Earth week but we begin
with the abortion debate in the US in
minutes the US Supreme Court will hear
arguments about a near total ban on
abortion in Idaho and in Arizona State
lawmakers will reconvene to debate a
Civil War era law that bans nearly all
abortions we have Team coverage this
morning ABC News senior Congressional
corespondent Rachel Scott ABC News
Supreme Court contributor Kate Shaw and
ABC’s Jaclyn Lee in Arizona uh Rachel
this is the first time the Supreme Court
will consider the scope of a state
abortion ban since her returning Ro v
Wade so far 21 states have enacted new
bans and restrictions on abortion access
since that ruling so what’s at stake
with this decision yeah look Diane the
stakes here are absolutely major because
what the Supreme Court decides could
ultimately determine when doctors
provide medical emergency abortions even
in the states where abortion is
currently banned and so just a few
moments from now we are going to see at
these arguments begin at the center of
this case is the state of Idaho which
does ban abortion in nearly all cases
with a narrow exception that includes to
save the life of the mother now the
justice department here is arguing that
even in states where abortion is banned
under federal law they say that
hospitals are required to terminate a
pregnancy if the patient’s health or if
their life is at risk and what they’re
really pointing to is a law that was
passed decades ago before R versus Wade
was overturned and it was really meant
to ensure that hospitals couldn’t turn
away any patients who did not have
insurance but face life-threatening
conditions that those patients could
still get that care so on the other side
of this you have anti-abortion Advocates
that are making this argument that the
justice department and the Biden
Administration are trying to misuse this
law to justify having more access to
abortions in these states where it’s
currently not legal now Kate the big
question here is whether that federal
law governing Emergency Care protects
abortion access at hospitals if a
woman’s health is at risk so what do the
justices need to consider here in order
to answer that
question so Diane this is really about a
conflict between state law and federal
law federal law and tala is the name of
the federal statute um basically has
various Provisions but it issue here is
a provision requiring uh hospitals that
have emergency rooms and receive federal
funds um to provide certain kinds of
stabilizing care if patients present in
those emergency rooms in crisis and one
of the forms of stabilizing care that
Federal Law requires is that if a
pregnant person shows up in an emergency
room in
and where their health is threatened by
a pregnancy if a doctor believes that
termination is the necessary care for
that pregnant patient Federal Law
requires the doctor to be permitted to
provide that care um now of course
that’s in conflict with Idaho law which
says that only if a patient is
essentially in uh risk of imminent death
can an abortion be provided so you have
a clear conflict and essentially what
the federal government is saying is you
know this federal law has nothing to do
with ordinary healthy pregnancies state
law you know know can control under
those circumstances but if there is a
pregnancy that is providing or
presenting a crisis to a pregnant
patient then in an emergency room
federal law protects a doctor’s ability
to Pro to perform an abortion under
those circumstances so it’s narrow uh in
terms of the application of this law but
the consequences for patients in crisis
short of death but where serious health
risks present um the stakes of course
are you know Sky High Rachel this
Supreme Court proceeding comes after
President Biden blasted former president
Trump at a campaign event in Florida
over the six week abortion ban taking
effect in that state next week so what’s
at stake politically here when it comes
to this ruling look the Biden campaign
is going all in on this issue of
abortion rights and they have been
paying attention to what has been
happening across the country since Row
versus Wade was overturned we’ve seen
Six States put the issue of abortion
rights on the ballot so that voters
could have the final say and in all six
of those States we have seen the side of
abortion right win so the Democrats
believe that this is an issue that can
really
galivo ahead of a very critical election
year and we heard from the president
just yesterday he took on former
president Donald Trump very directly
remember that Donald Trump appointed
three of the five Supreme Court Justices
who overturned Row versus Wade and he’s
really been caught in the middle of a
lot of the Fallout that we are seeing
happening that’s sweeping the States you
know he says that the abortion ban there
in Arizona that is uh about to go into
effect in a number of weeks unless the
State Legislature moves and acts to
repeal that law uh that that went too
far but at the same time it is that
decision to appoint the three Supreme
Court Justices to the Supreme Court that
cleared the way for the sweeping
abortion restrictions that we are seeing
play out across the
country and I want to Pivot to Arizona
now because this afternoon Arizona State
lawmakers will reconvene to debate the
Civil War era law that bans nearly all
abortions jacn Lees there in Phoenix
Jaclyn if this debate results in a vote
could that mean abortion will be on the
state ballot in
November well Dan we’re seeing a few
things happen so we’re expecting House
Republicans to introduce three measures
uh to basically put forth three
different initiatives on the ballot come
November the whole point of that is
because we are expecting abortion rights
Advocates to succeed in putting forth uh
another measure come November that would
enshrine abortion rights on the Arizona
uh con
so the whole point of Republicans
introducing these three measures and
taking that up is to to muddy the waters
and to give voters an option so they say
so that way they’re able to not allow uh
abortion rights Advocates to succeed uh
with enshrining abortion on the state
constitution Dian now earlier this month
Trump said abortion is a state’s rights
issue but that Arizona went too far with
this law so is the Republican Front
Runners influence expected to have any
impact on how Republican lawmakers there
will vote
so we’re not seeing that I mean if you
look at house Speaker Boma he’s made it
very clear that he feels abortion is
immoral so you’ve seen that play out the
last two weeks uh Arizona Republicans
they have not changed their mind they
have not been influenced by former
president Trump because you’ve seen them
block the repeal of this Civil War era
law
Diane all right Jaclyn Lee Rachel Scott
Kate Shaw thank you all and the $95
billion foreign aid package is headed to
the house Congress passed laot to get
Aid to Ukraine Israel and Taiwan and it
also includes a potential ban on Tik
Tock in the US now the president is
expected to sign it into Law Senior
White House correspondent Selena Wang
has the details on how Tik Tock is
fighting
back the yays are 79 the the clock
ticking down for Tik Tok after the
Senate passed a bill overnight giving
the social media apps Chinese parent
company an ultimatum sell the app or get
banned in the US Tik Tock is a major
foreign threat
the bill we are passing today puts an
end to that lawmakers in both parties
say Tik Tok is a serious National
Security risk they claim the Chinese
government could force Tik tok’s owner
bite dance to hand over Americans data
or use the app to spread misinformation
by promoting certain content the
platform is used by 170 million
Americans many of whom make a living off
the app have you heard of the syoni Tik
Tok allows me that unique ability to you
know just go and be myself in front of a
large audience and have people support
my business because they like who I am
and what I’m about Tik Tok denies
sharing data with the Chinese government
and says it stores data in the US but
Senator Mark Warner says critics of the
potential ban have not seen all the
evidence at the end of the day they’ve
not seen what Congress has seen they’ve
not been in the classified briefings
that Congress has held which have delved
into more deeply some of the threat
posed by Foreign control of Tik Tok B
dance will have N9 months to sell the
platform if it can’t or won’t sell Tik
Tok would not disappear from phones
users would simply be unable to update
or download the
app and the legislation passed overnight
also includes $60 billion doar in aid
for Ukraine and billions more for Israel
and Taiwan the President says he’s going
to sign this into law today kicking off
that countdown clock for Tik Tok Diane
Selena Wang thank you and college
campuses are taking steps to protect
students as Pro Palestinian protests
spread across the country the most
recent demonstration ation turned
violent in California now universities
like Colombia are moving classes online
and giving protesters ultimatums ABC
Stephanie Ramos is at Columbia
University with the
latest images showing protests turning
violent at Cal paully
Humbolt police struggling to control
hundreds of pro Palestinian
demonstrators on the college campus the
school now closed today this comes on
the heels of demonstrations across the
country and whyu ramping up security
with a new barricade after clashes with
police Columbia University offering
virtual learning for the last week of
classes after some Jewish students said
they felt unsafe on campus like Aiden
Hunter who tells us he understands why
people are protesting I don’t mean to
diminish that but I’d say the majority
of my friends especially Jewish friends
feel a sense of insecurity at this time
it’s been more than 200 days since the
start of the Israel hamama War prompting
Pro Palestinian protests on college
campuses which are spreading protesters
demanding colleges divest from companies
they say profit from ties to Israel
we’re not planning on packing up and
going home we are here because people in
Palestine are going through so much
worse protesters digging in from
Berkeley to the University of Michigan
to the University of Minnesota where
police took down tents and made
arrests New York’s mayor Eric Adams
blaming outside agitators for a violent
turn campus protests pointing to this
video he says shows bottles and chairs
thrown at officers people who peacefully
protest for an issue they’re not
throwing bottles and chairs there are
people who come have nothing to do with
the issue and they want to
aggravate and after a week of tensions
on the Columbia University campus the
university announcing overnight that
they have made some progress to break up
the encampment saying the talks with
protesters will continue for another two
days Diane Stephanie Ramos thank you and
former president Trump’s hush money
trial is in recess today but a decision
on alleged gang order violations could
come at any time this after the
prosecution’s first witness National
inquire publisher David pecker admitted
to the court that he used the Tabloid to
help Trump’s campaign senior
investigative correspondent Aon kerki
has the
latest it was August 2015 when former
National inquir publisher David pecker
said he was summoned a Trump Tower
Donald Trump had announced his candidacy
and pecker testified Trump and Michael
Cohen asked me what can I do and what my
magazines could do to help the campaign
pecker said the three men hatched a
confidential agreement the national
Inquirer would publish positive stories
about Trump and negative stories about
his opponents he said Cohen would send
me information about Ted Cruz or Ben
Carson or Marco Rubio and that was the
basis for our story and we would
embellish Trump Amplified one story
attempting to link Cruz’s father to the
Kennedy assassination what was he with
Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the
death before the shooting it’s it’s
horrible Becker testified the national
inquire created the story by claiming to
match photos of Cruz’s father with
pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald but that
wasn’t all pecker said he told Trump I
will be your eyes and ears agreeing to
purchase damaging stories so they would
not get published that includes a
$30,000 payment to a Trump World Tower
doorman who was shopping an unfounded
claim Trump fathered a child out of
wedlock which he denied the doorman Dino
sajudin spoke with GMA in 2018 did you
believe they were paying you to pursue
the story or to kill the story oh
initially I thought they would there was
really you know I didn’t choire report
story so I figured you know they they
were really they wanted to report the
story that’s what I thought but now now
as I look back on things it made sense
to me sense to me more so that they were
just pretty much trying to quiet me down
as pecker recounted the doorman’s claim
Trump silently shook his head after
court Trump complained about the limited
gag order meant to prevent him from
verbally attacking Witnesses we have a
gag order which to me is totally
unconstitutional I’m not allowed to talk
but people are allowed to talk about me
prosecutors accused Trump of repeatedly
violating the gag order and they said
it’s posing a real threat to the trial
when the defense insisted Trump is
complying the judge interjected you are
losing all
credibility we’re still waiting for the
judge to decide whether to hold Trump in
contempt Diane prosecutor said it’s
almost as if Trump is angling for the
judge to throw him in jail and law
enforcement sources told ABC News the US
secret service has actually started
preparing for that possibility Diane
senior investigative correspondent Erin

Alley active over the next four days a
preview could pop up later today in
Texas with potentially fast growing
storms bringing large hail and damaging
wind meteorologist from our theater is
tracking at all hi Samara hi yes as you
stated Diane this is a multi-day event
so we’re getting that little precursor
uh today tonight you can see just south
of the Texas Panhandle right near Leck
Midland we are in for some damaging
winds large hail so it’s on the lower
end of the spectrum of severe weather
still a few sporadic strong storms could
pop in that area even as far uh East as
north and east as Tulsa here’s where we
have the more elevated risk and threat
it’s as we head into Thursday and Friday
look at the Zone in Orange okay so we
have Western Oklahoma towards the Texas
Panhandle there uh towards wiah very
large Hill and this is a Zone where we
could see strong tornadoes then Friday
this shifts farther east a few tornadoes
still possible but we will see more
widespread damaging winds large Hill
from De Moy Kansas City Springfield good
morning Little Rock good morning Dallas
get prepared for severe weather on your
Friday then we’re already tracking our
next storm system and this one is going
to impact the weekend time frame for
some areas that would have been
previously hit at the end of the week so
Saturday Oklahoma City wiah Kansas City
you’re up next for another round of
severe weather and then that threat
shifts farther east into Poria Chicago
right on down into shreport on Sunday
the other story I want to talk about is
temperatures a lot of the warmer air
that we’re experiencing is only going to
help to energize these storms especially
as we head into the weekend so we could
see some strong storms popping then
we’re much warmer than normal in the
midsection of the country as we head
into next week look at these
temperatures Phoenix 93 New York City
Washington DC if you were waiting for a
day we could get outside really enjoy
the weather temperatures will be
skyrocketing into the upper 80s look how
close they are to 90 on next week Monday
in DC Diane meteorologist Theodore thank
you and climate scientists say change to
the environment is impacting different
communities in different ways a
groundbreaking study in 1987 found
growing evidence that people of color
across the United States are
disproportionately affected by climate
change and environmental issues
including living in communities near
uncontrolled toxic waste sites now in
2024 several environmental activist
groups and legislators are still trying
to address environmental inequity the
founder of intersectional
environmentalists and author of a book
by the same name Leah Thomas joins me
now for more on that Leah thanks for
coming on I want to start with this term
you coined intersectional
environmentalism can you explain what
that means
absolutely so an intersectional approach
to environmentalism considers who is the
most impacted by environmental issues
and those factors often overlap so it
might be lower income Community
communities Urban or rural communities
communities of color Etc it’s really
important to consider who is the most
impacted by environmental issues when
looking at environmental
hazards so what inspired you to start
doing this work
so I used to work at Patagonia so in the
outdoor industry and I was also a park
ranger for a couple of Summers and I had
so much fun but then when I started
researching that communities like mine
like the African-American community in
the United States um is unequally
burdened with environmental hazards and
that also goes for the communities I
mentioned earlier Ral communities
indigenous communities Etc I really
wanted to make some noise about the
inequity and provide people with
Pathways to get connected with
organizations in their neighborhoods
that are addressing these issues I
wanted to be kind of a positive
representation of what a black girl
environmentalist looks like and spread
the word about not only the inequity but
all the amazing activists that are
tackling these issues so what steps do
you think have been done recently to
help fix this problem and what more can
people in their own homes people
watching right now do individually to
try to help this
problem yeah I want to be as optimistic
as possible and we have a lot to be
excited about for the first time in
history we have an environmental justice
Council that’s working with this white
house and we have billions of dollars
that are specifically for environmental
justice so this is really historic and
the first time ever even though the
environmental justice movement began in
the 80s so if people want to get
involved keep doing what you’re doing
because good stuff is happening and then
you can use the intersectional
environmentalist database to find a
local Grassroots environmental justice
organization that’s tackling the issue
of social justice and environmentalism
at the same time all right Leah Thomas

and a Tennessee Bill to allow teachers
to carry guns in schools is now on its
way to the governor’s desk house House
Republicans say it’s meant to protect
students but critics say it’s putting
kids at risk this comes a year after the
deadly school shooting in Nashville that
killed six people including three
children ABC’s Andrea Fuji has the
details amid protests and after a heated
debate lawmakers in Tennessee have
approved a bill allowing certain
teachers to carry firearms in K through
12 schools critics claim it will only
make schools more dangerous this
amendment is to rename this bill the
refusal to protect kids in schools act
because that’s exactly what you all are
doing but one year after a gunman opened
fire at the Covenant School in Nashville
killing six people including three young
students supporters of army teachers say
it will make a potential school shooter
think twice this bill it seeks to make
the bar are so high but to allow the
locals to have the ability to do that
that it would create a deterrent across
our state the bill will allow teachers
to carry concealed handguns on a school
campus if they meet certain requirements
including a background check a
psychological evaluation and 40 hours of
firearms training also the principal
school district and local law
enforcement would all have to sign off
on arming School staffers with State
approval Tennessee is set to become at
least the 30th state to allow teachers
to care carry guns in some K through 12
schools but a recent Nationwide poll
found 54% of teachers believe arming
Educators would make schools less safe
compared to just 20% who believe it
would make schools
safer our thanks to Andrea fge for that
report and joining me now is the
president of the National Education
Association Becky Pringle for more on
this Becky you taught middle school
science for more than 30 years and you
say our elected leaders need to protect
children from gun violence Tennessee
state Republicans say teachers having
guns would do that what’s your reaction
to
that I it’s good to be with you this
morning Diane our teachers uh and other
Educators in Tennessee are saying what
they are saying all over this country we
just want to focus on teaching and
nurturing and taking care of our
students making sure they learn the
complete and true history of this
country making sure they have Arts and
Music in their curriculum that’s what we
want to focus on not being armed that is
not what we we’ve been trained to do nor
is it what we have time to do we need to
focus on arming our teachers and schools
with more books we need to arm them with
more resources plentiful resources and
we need to arm them with the mental
health professionals and supports our
students need Becky the law is not
forcing teachers be arms but allowing
those who want to be to be armed so what
do you say to teachers who feel with the
prevalence of school shootings that they
should be armed in the class
that they want to feel safer that
way I will tell you Diane that once we
have these conversations about arming
teachers as Educators we always feel
like we should be standing in the gaps
to teach and nurture and keep our kids
safe and all Educators feel that weight
and that responsibility when these
conversations are being had that’s why
you see teachers all over the country
standing up and saying no this is not
what we need we need states to follow
the example of the bipartisan safer
Community act where we’re doing Common
Sense things to protect our students in
schools and in their communities and so
Becky I’m out of time but quickly what
are some of those Common Sense
things we know we need stronger
background checks that’s something that
President Biden took on just a few weeks
ago we know we need more mental health
supports we know we need to ensure that
we have less guns not more all right
president of the National Education
Association Becky Pringle Becky we
appreciate your time today thank
you thank you and it may have just
gotten easier to quit your job the
Federal Trade Commission has voted to
ban not compete causes which could
affect one in five us workers ABC’s
Elizabeth Shel has the details on that
story a sweeping move by the Federal
Trade Commission could shape the job
prospects of 30 million Americans the
motion passes 3 to2 the FTC voting to
ban non-compete agreements which prevent
workers from switching jobs to work for
a rival company the Nationwide ban means
workers applying for a new job wouldn’t
be forced to sign a non-compete and
almost all existing non-compete clauses
would be voided it’s clear that the
freedom to leave your job and take
another job is fundamental to a free and
fair economy the FTC says the ban will
boost workers wages by up to $488
billion over 10 years because they’d be
free to seek out better paying jobs
small businesses uh startups are going
to benefit tremendously uh for not
having to work around non-competes
Jordan Kane is the COO of a small
Trucking and logistics company in
Mississippi he says 90% of job
applicants he finds are stuck in
non-competes if we didn’t have non P
that means that we could quickly hire
people that check all the boxes for us
but business groups staunchly oppose the
ban the US Chamber of Commerce calling
it a blatant power grab that will
undermine American business’s ability to
remain
competitive and Elizabeth Chelsea joins
me now for more on this Elizabeth right
now this band set to go into effect in
August but what kind of legal challenges
does it face a big legal challenge Diane
we already heard for the past year since
this was first proposed by the FTC the
US chamber of Commerce which represents
big businesses across the country came
out and said it staunchly opposes this
ban it is basically now said that it’s
going to sue the FTC as soon as today it
argues that these non-competes are
essential to protect trade secrets to
keep competitiveness among companies and
so you can expect that while this should
go into place in the next 120 days so
looking in August for the FDC ban that
could be delayed by this legal battle
interesting all right Elizabeth Chelsea
thank you thanks meanwhile the Biden
Administration is taking action to
protect air line passengers a new rule
would mandate an automatic refund to
anyone who has a flight canceled ABC
News Transportation correspondent Gio bz
is at LaGuardia Airport with the latest
Gio hey there this is a major change
from the Department of Transportation
and again it affects your money take a
look at this because passengers must now
get automatic cash refunds when a flight
is canceled for any reason or delayed by
more than three hours for domestic
flights more than 6 hours for
international but there’s more here if
the airline changes any of your airports
adds connections downgrades your seat or
even changes your plane to one that’s
less accessible for those with
disabilities those are all new reasons
for cash refunds also the smaller issues
here too if your checked bags aren’t
delivered within as little as 12 hours
or your Wii didn’t work you’re entitled
to refunds there too and you should get
that money back within 7 days but I’ve
got to tell you here it’s not going to
happen right away and that’s because the
dot says that Airlines need time to put
this in place there’s a deadline though
they have six months to do it Diane
Transportation correspondent Gio bonitz

different take on the day’s top stories
a lot of news today so let’s get into it
listen now to the Daily News podcast
honored with four Edward R Murrow Awards
and see why the New York Times calls it
a news podcast worth listening to start
here ABC News make it your daily first
listen now that’s a part of the story I
bet you didn’t see coming wherever you
get your podcasts start here you’re
watching America’s number one streaming
news keep streaming with ABC News
live welcome back the Food and Drug
Administration says it’s found remnants
of the bird flu vir samples of
pasteurized milk the agency issued a
statement saying the samples came from
dairy cows known to be infected but it
is stressing the US milk supply is safe
to drink the statement says the
pasteurizing process made it so the
virus could not be passed on the
announcement comes nearly a month after
Aven influenza virus was detected in
dairy cows in at least eight
states and now it’s time for Patel it
like it is where Dr Al Patel shows
Health advice on the topics that
mattered most to you and today today
we’re talking about a rise of human
infections from rat urine here’s Dr
Patel with more
human infections from rat urine are on
the rise in New York City what is
happening I’m ABC News medical
contributor Dr loo pel and here’s what
you need to know the New York Department
of Health and mental hygiene has issued
a health advisory after multiple cases
of human leptospirosis an infection
that’s associated with exposure to rat
urine have been reported in New York
City in 2023 there were 24 reported
cases higher than any previous year and
this year there are already six how does
this happen well let’s get
scientific rats pigs horses dogs cattle
and other wild animals can get infected
with a bacteria called leptospira and
then spread the disease leptospirosis
through their urine and sometimes
infected animals can have no symptoms
and spread the disease for months even
years and I know what you’re thinking I
don’t touch animal urine me I hope
that’s what you’re thinking but you
wouldn’t always know if you did sorry
that’s nature and any contact with
infected soil water or food food in your
eyes mouth nose or through broken skin
can spread disease the NYC Health
Department lists handling trash bags or
food waste as a potential cause of some
of these cases and remember if you
accidentally swim in or drink
contaminated water you can also get
infected while leptospirosis is
relatively rare in the United States the
recent reports in New York City tell us
that it’s still around and there are
good habits we can all follow like
wearing gloves or shoes if you’re
handling trash or soil managing rodent
infestations and maybe not swimming in
potentially contaminated water and if
you develop any symptoms such as a high
fever muscle aches vomiting rash and
have had occupational or recreational
exposure to animals you should talk to
your
doctor and Dr L Batel joins me now for
more on this Dr Batel that was a lot to
unpack and it is a little gross so uh
let’s get into this what exactly is this
disease and who is most at risk
well Diane I appreciate your facial
expressions with all this because any
headlines about animal urine spreading
infection is likely going to raise some
eyebrows now in the United States there
are about 100 to 150 reported cases
worldwide there’s 500,000 to about a
million these are both likely under
reported now people who are most at risk
or anyone who may come in contact with
contaminated water either through
awkward occupational or recreational
exposure but also people who may be
working directly with animals now with
all these cases that are reported the
majority happen to happen in humid or
tropical climates or in the settings
that I described in the United States
according to the CDC about 50% of cases
happen in Puerto Rico so it is
everywhere but likely localized to these
specific
scenarios so what are the signs and
symptoms of leptospirosis did I say it
right you did I’m impressed with that so
leptospirosis can present in a broad set
of symptoms like fever vomiting muscle
aches and fatigue and if left untreated
it can pres progress to a more severe
phase that could include kidney liver
failure even menitis now I know people
are thinking like that’s really broad
how could I actually tell you may not
always be able to tell because symptoms
could pop up as early as a few days to a
month after your initial exposure and
I’ll tell people I have taken care of
people in the hospital specifically one
teenager I think about who had flu
symptoms for about two weeks and they
were getting progressively worse we
finally found out that he had exposure
to contaminated water during a trip to
Hawaii and that’s how the diagnosis of
leptospirosis came to be so it is really
important that if you have symptoms like
this that you stay calm you talk to a
doctor and you mention any potential
exposures you may have had if your
symptoms cannot be explained by a
respiratory virus or something else so
how can we avoid Contracting this and
what’s the treatment if you do the most
important thing that people can do is
pay attention to the type of freshwat or
water sources that you’re around if
water looks dirty if there’s animals
nearby if there are sewage pipes if you
question it you probably shouldn’t swim
in that water this is a lot of cases are
spread by contaminated water and
obviously this risk can increase during
Hurricane or flooding season if you’re
working with contaminated water or soil
or animals wearing gloves protective
Footwear and PPE is extremely important
if you do get sick fortunately there are
antibiotics that can handle cases of
leptospirosis if you have a severe case
IV antibiotics and supportive care may
be needed and remember to manage those
rodent infestations hey New Yorkers in
the words of senior producer Kate Fallon
rats don’t run this city we
do all right Dr Patel thank you for that
and Dr Batel is taking your questions

live welcome back it’s that time of year
for spring cleaning and that can involve
getting rid of a lot of old clothes but
have you ever wondered where that
clothing goes after you put it in the
donation bin as part of our Earth week
series The Power of us chief
meteorologist Ginger Z tracked where
your garments
go in the scramble of the spring clean
you might be haunted by piles of
clothing that you then put in that
bag and then that bag is often kind of
blindly donated a donation site or a bin
like this but what we learned is that
most of the clothing that’s going in
there is not staying in the United
States what donation centers can’t sell
or give away They smash together into
th000 lb Bales and sell it per pound or
per kilo to exporters sorters and then
they will ship it to various places
around the world normally in the global
South the United States exports the most
secondhand clothing in the world two
times the amount that China exported in
the latest data from 2019 most of our
hand-me-downs are exported to Latin
America and Africa the research that was
coming out of Ghana was that 40% of that
clothing wasn’t sold and and so it ended
up you know being just waste that waste
is infamously showing up in landfills
from Kenya to
Chile I’ve been painfully aware of all
of that for years and the last thing I
want is for my donations to end up in a
landfill so in my closet it’s not just
one bag but many bags that are supposed
to go to all the right places the spot
that says we’ll take your holy clothes
that are damaged the one for
unmentionables the one for sneakers the
tech bag after bag after bag I just want
one place to send it all and that is
when my phone read my mind and gave me
trashy trashy is a company that says
we’ll take it all the shoes underwear
stained t-shirts just pay 20 bucks for
this bag and they claim it will get to
the right
place I packed up my bag and went to El
Paso to see the process and so we’ll
open your bag okay great yep so she’s
going to put the towel towel and the
linen uhhuh shoes in the shoes shoes and
so when we talk about sorting and
Grading that really is the process for
figuring out what’s in your bag what has
value where it can go what can be reused
what can be recycled and so that is a
really important part of the process for
keeping things out of landfill and is
that not happening after we donate to a
regular place I mean the reality is that
different donation centers have
different priorities and so globally we
throw about 85% of textiles into
landfill is there a way to guarantee
that my t doesn’t end up in a landfill
there is no way to 100% guarantee that
at some point it won’t end up there the
thing that we do to guarantee it won’t
end up putting a landfill soon is making
sure it’s the right quality the right
Market the right price for that market
and companies like retold and subset are
doing the same the secondhand Market has
taken a lot of heat for those landfills
lately but fashion and environmental
experts say they’re not the problem are
they a bit of the unsung hero there’s no
magical place place that they’re able to
put these garments so it’s still going
places but I feel like the blame is
pinned on them when the blame should be
the industry that is producing them to
begin
with the US exported more than
158,000 tons of used clothing in 1991
less than 30 years later we are
exporting more than five times that
volume so what can we do stop buying
clothing that’s really the first one you
could take the no new clothes challenge
with me I’m almost to two years or you
buy only secondhand that actually works
in the no new clothes or you can also
try this widget called Benny I’ve been
using it it helps you automatically shop
and see where you can find an item that
you really need and really will use
where you can find it secondhand when
you do buy a new you just buy quality
and something that you know you’ll love
and you can kind of work out that cost
per wear Diane good tips Chief
meterologist and editor of our climate
unit Ginger Z thank you and as we
celebrate earthquake we’re also speaking
to an award-winning Chef who’s dedicated
her life’s work to veganism and
sustainability prianka Nike says she’s
trying to reshape the gastronomic
landscape and teaching others how to
make their kitchens eco-friendly and
Priyanka Nike joins me now for more on
how we can all do this pranka thanks so
much for coming on you know as a chef
why do you think it’s so important to go
green especially in the kitchen and what
are some steps that we can take at home
to make our kitchens more eco-friendly
well good morning and thank you for
having me obviously this topic is so
relevant to me and I really have
dedicated my my love for cooking around
this but food is one of the top three
contributors to uh carbon emissions and
waste especially in the US over 92
billion pounds of food is wasted in the
us alone so we can really start by
making a change in our kitchen you
certainly don’t need to be a chef in
order to do this for instance I live in
a big city so I don’t have access to a
backyard or soil so what I do is I take
my scraps and I actually freeze it in a
compostable container and then I take it
to my local farmers market and I compost
it there or I actually use the scraps to
repurpose them into new dishes so for
instance you can take garlic Peels and
onion peels you can bake it on low in
the oven and create onion and garlic
powder or you can use your scraps to
make a vegetable stock which I know
everyone is familiar with with the other
thing I love to do is taking fresh
fruits and vegetables and freezing them
at their Peak freshness so these are
some fresh cranberries I had to use them
for a recipe but I certainly was not
going to eat one pound bag of
cranberries so I decided to freeze them
and now I could use it for baking for
cocktails or just to thaw and eat when I
want to enjoy some cranberries and the
last thing is leftovers so I love
packing all of my food at restaurants
make sure to even pack that free bread
that you get this is some leftover rice
from from some Indian takeout that I had
I’m going to repurpose this into a rice
and bean veggie burger later it’s going
to be so hearty and so healthy and this
food is going to end up in my stomach
rather than in the trash I love that you
save your money and the planet at the
same time and pranka you also say some
of meals themselves are greener than
others so what are some ways that we can
prepare more climate conscious food at
home certainly I think the the first the
first thing anyone can do is reduce your
meat intake I am vegan I certainly do
not expect everyone to go vegan
overnight but even just reducing your
red meat intake will minimize the use of
water in our agricultural system because
red meat uses the most water to be
produced so even going meatless a few
times a week can really help create
Greener meals but also using all of the
produce so some of the clips you’re
seeing I’m using watermelon rinds to
make a pickle out of I use Carrot Tops
to make a pesto so Really Trying to
minimize all of the uh waste from the
vegetable and the produce and making
sure that your dishes are colorful the
more colorful your dishes are the more
nutrient Rich they are as
well all right Priyanka Nike thank you

Live President Biden is speaking about
signing a 20 a95 billion Aid package
after Congress passed the law to get Aid
to Ukraine Israel and Taiwan it also
includes a potential ban on Tik Tok in
the US let’s listen and by the Senate
yesterday it’s going to make America
safer it’s going to make the world safer
and it continues America’s leadership in
the world and everyone knows it gives
vital support to America’s partners and
they so they can defend themselves
against threats to their sovereignty and
to the lives and freedom of their
citizens and it’s an investment in our
own security because when our allies are
stronger and I want to make this per
again and again when our allies are
stronger we are stronger I’m grateful
all grateful all those in Congress
Democrats Republicans Independence who
voted for this bill it’s a path to my
desk it was a difficult path it should
have been easier and it should have
gotten there sooner but in the end we
did what America always does we Rose to
the moment we came together and we got
it
done now we need to move fast and we
are over two years Russia has been
responsible for a brutal campaign
against Ukraine they’ve killed tens of
thousands of ukrainians
bombed hospitals toally picked them out
bombed hospitals kindergartens grain
silos tried to plunge Ukraine into a
cold and dark Winter by striking their
power grid ukrainians have fought the
ukrainians have fought back defending
their country and their families with
extraordinary courage many of you have
been there with me many times it’s
amazing what they do I mean it’s amazing
against such a larger military Ukraine
has regained over half the territory
Russia took from them in this Invasion
and they won important victories against
Russia’s Navy but make no mistake about
they’re a fighting force with the will
and the skill to win the will and the
skill to win for months while magga
Republicans are blocking Aid Ukraine has
been running out of artillery shells and
ammunition meanwhile Putin’s friends
keep giving keeping him well supplied
Iran sent him drones North Korea has
sent him ballistic missiles in our arery
shells China is providing components and
know how to boost Russia’s defense
production with all this support Russia
has ramped up its air strikes against
Ukrainian cities and critical
infrastructure rain down Munitions on
Brave ukrainians defending their
Homeland and now America’s going to send
Ukraine the supplies they need to keep
them in the fight this weekend the
reports this is I find this amazing the
reports of Cheers breaking out of the
trenches in eastern Ukraine probably
came from one of your folks a reporter
or someone I’m not sure where it came
from but that they’re cheering as they
watch the House vote and support for
Ukraine it’s not like they don’t
understand what we’ve done not like they
don’t understand how critical this is
for them I’m making sure the shipments
start right away in the next few hours
literally a few hours we we’re going to
begin sending in equipment to uh Ukraine
for air defense
for artillery for Rocket systems and
armored vehicles you know this package
is literally investment not only in
Ukraine’s security but in Europe’s
Security in our own security we’re
sending Ukraine equipment from our own
stockpiles then we’ll replenish those
stock piles with new products made by
American companies here in America
Patriot missiles made in Arizona
javelins Made in Alabama artillery
shells made in Ohio Pennsylvania Texas
in other words we’re helping Ukraine
while at the same time investing in our
own industrial base strengthening our
own National Security supporting jobs in
nearly 40 States all across America you
know the United States is not acting
alone to State the obvious our allies in
Europe and around the world who for
constantly been asking me are we going
to step up we’re not going to walk away
are we how many and some of you have
been in these International meetings
with me they are very concerned had we
failed Step Up Lord only knows what
would happen to the cohesion in NATO
we’re also send they’re also sending
significant help to Ukraine we’re all
standing together against this brutal
dictator as I’ve argued for months this
is directly directly in the United
States national security interest if
Putin Triumph triumphs in Ukraine the
next move of Russian forces could very
well be a direct attack on a NATO Ally
and you all know full well that invoking
article five north atantic treaty would
be the first thing that comes to mind
which declares an attack on one as an
attack on all if Putin attacks the NATO
Ally like he’s attacking Ukraine today
we’d have no choice but to come to their
aid just like our NATO allies came to
our our Aid after the September 11th
attacks here that’s why we’re supporting
Insurgent support now to Ukraine to stop
Putin from drawing the United States
into war in Europe and in the future you
know it means to me we should take take
a little bit of a step back and realize
what a critical moment this was for the
United States and for NATO this is a
historical moment in the last two years
we’ve helped unify strengthen and expand
NATO imagine if instead we had failed we
had failed to step up now and support
Ukraine all those gains would have begun
to unravel cohesion of NATO would have
been weakened and our national security
would have been undermined without any
question you know Putin started this war
believing he could easily break the will
of the people of Ukraine when that
failed he changed his strategy a little
bit thinking we can break the break the
will of NATO break the will of the
United States break our will well he’s
failed again America stands with our
friends we stand up against dictators we
bow to no one to No One certainly not
Vladimir Putin look this bill also
includes vital support for Israel just
10 days ago we saw Iran launch over 100
missiles and drones at Israel because of
them and other allies across the country
world including from the region none no
serious damage occur an unprecedented
attack that followed years of Iran
supporting Hezbollah Hamas and proxies
of their own their own attack on Israel
they they fund these guys my commitment
to Israel I want to make clear again is
Ironclad is sec security of Israel is
critical it will always make sure Israel
has what it needs to defend itself
against Iran and terrorist of
supports and with this Aid the United
States going to help replenish Israel’s
air defense and provide other critical
events so Iran can never carry out the
destruction and intended with its attack
10 days ago but at the same time this
bill significantly significantly
increases humanitarian assistance we
sending to the innocent people of Gaza
who are suffering badly for suffering
the consequences of this war that Hamas
started and we’ve been working intently
for months to get as much Aid to Gaza as
possible this bill includes $1 billion
from additional humanitarian Aid in Gaza
we’re going to immediately secure that
Aid and surge it surge it including food
medical supplies clean water and Israel
must make sure all this Aid reaches the
Palestinians and Gaza without delay and
everything we do is Guided by the ultim
goal of bringing this hostages home
securing a ceasefire and setting the
conditions for an enduring peace you
know there’s more that this bill does as
you all know the Press here including
providing for support to strengthen even
further our allies and partners in the
Indo Pacific region as well as
humanitarian Aid to places including
Haiti Sudan and Somalia but there’s one
thing this bill does not do bord
security you know just this year I
proposed and negotiated and agree to the
strongest border security bill this
country has ever ever ever seen it was
bipartisan it should have been included
in this bill and I’m determined to get
it done for the American people but I’ll
come back to that in another moment
another time this is a reminder what
America can do when we when we come
together despite our differences I want
to thank everyone in Congress who made
it possible especially the bipartisan
leadership Speaker of the House Mike
Johnson leader Jeff leader Schumer
McConnell they don’t always agree but
when it matters most they stepped up and
did the right thing and I mean this
sincerely history will remember this
time history will remember this moment
for all the talk about how dysfunctional
things are in Washington when you look
over the past three years we see the
time and again on the critical issues
we’ve actually come together it hadn’t
always been easy easy but when it come
time to decide to rebuild America we did
it with the bipartisan infrastructure
law which is just underway when it came
time to invest in our semiconductor
industry and techn Technology
Technologies of the future we did it
with the chips and science act and when
it came time to stand with Ukraine and
Israel and help the people of Gaza we
did that as well at the end of the day
most of us whether we’re Democrats
Republicans Independents believe that
America must stand up for what is right
we don’t walk walk away from our allies
we stand with them we don’t let tyrants
win we oppose them we don’t merely watch
Global events on for we shape them
that’s what it means to be the in
indispensable Nation that’s what it
means to be the world’s superpower and
the world’s leading democracy some of
our magga Republican V reject that
Vision but this vote makes it clear
there is a bipartisan consensus for that
kind of American leadership that’s
exactly what we’ll continue to deliver I
thank you all very much and I’m going
off to make a speech at the hotel while
I’m late for and plenty of time to
answer questions on this and other
matters can I have a quick one on TI
Tok you have a message for the prot that
was President Biden giving remarks after
signing a $95 billion Aid Bill to get
Aid to Ukraine Israel and Taiwan it also
includes a potential ban on Tik Tock in
the US the president called today a good
day for America a good day for Europe
and a good day for world peace I want to
bring an ABC News White House
correspondent Karen Travers
Karen President Biden says when our
allies are stronger we are stronger so
what message is this foreign aid Bill
sending to the world Diane the president
there said that this shows that the
United States stands up for friends and
stands up to dictators you know the
administration requested this funding
back in the fall it took a long time to
get across the finish line and that came
as the United States was urging other
countries European allies to stand with
Ukraine and keep their assistance going
even as it was languishing up on Capitol
Hill so so this is a very significant
day for the president and the
administration to get that funding over
there to those countries that need it so
critically 661 billion dollar for
Ukraine and the president said there
will be no delay this is going to start
going within hours a billion dollars in
military assistance because the
administration can turn to existing
stockpiles and start sending military
equipment right away to Ukraine this is
going to have an immediate impact on the
battlefield and that’s just the first of
what will be a significant amount that
will be heading over over there right
away Diane Karen the President also
touted by
partisanship but referred to the
difficult path that this bill took to
get to his desk some Hardline
Republicans threaten the house speakers
job for supporting this bill but
ultimately it did pass with bipartisan
support so could this open the door to
more deals across the aisle I I think
that’s unlikely given the very tense
political environment in Washington
right now and the fact that it’s an
election year but the White House
insisted from back in the fall when they
requested this money that if you put it
on the floor funding for Ukraine funding
for Israel it would pass with bipartisan
support and when that happened they were
exactly right the numbers were there
there was support among Republicans in
the house and in the Senate and you know
I think for the president you mentioned
this he talked about how this was a big
win for the United States a win for the
NATO alliance this is also a big win for
President Biden he got exactly what he
wanted in terms of funding going back to
that request in the fall he mentioned
there at the end Diane how he also
wanted to see border security included
in this that was part of a deal that was
negotiated in the Senate it was
ultimately stripped out because House
Republicans said they couldn’t go along
with it and that was something that they
wanted to see happen they didn’t get any
of that what they were pushing for and
the president though did say he’d still
like to see that addressed at some other
point and Karen we have to talk Tick
Tock because this package also includes
an ultimatum for the Chinese parent
company bite dance essentially saying
sell or be banned so how’s the White
House talking about that part of this
yeah and they’re framing this as it’s
not a ban on Tick Tock more of a for
sale from the Chinese parent company
bite dance that they’ll have to do that
within nine months they could get a
three-month extension if a sale is in
the works you know this was significant
how the house did this with the three
foreign aid bills and then that fourth
component being the Tik Tock Bill
packaging it all together and sending it
over the house and the White House said
look if that’s the way we get it the
president will sign it until law because
all those other components were so
important now notably Tik Tok is banned
on government devices because of a move
by the Biden Administration but Diane
the president’s campaign still uses Tik
Tok all right White House correspondent

morning news on ABC News live why do so
many people start their day here from
ABC News this is start here to be in the
know and get a different take on the
day’s top stories a lot of news today so
let’s get into it listen now to the
Daily News podcast honored with four
Edward R mural Awards and see why the
New York Times calls it a news podcast
worth listening to start here ABC News
make it your daily first listen now
that’s a part of the story I bet you
didn’t see coming wherever you get your
podcast start
here welcome back right now the US
Supreme Court is hearing arguments about
a near total ban on abortion in Idaho
meanwhile in Arizona State lawmakers
will reconvene to debate a Civil War era
law that bans nearly all abortions we
have Team coverage with ABC News senior
Congressional correspondent Rachel Scott
in Washington and ABC News jacqulyn Lee
in Arizona Rachel you’ve been listening
to these arguments today what’s the
latest yeah Diane these arguments are
still unfolding and I’m going to look
down at my notes because there are some
pretty notable exchanges that we are
hearing between the justices and one of
the Idaho lawyers first of all Justice
Sonia sod mayor asked the Idaho lawyer
whether it’s true that the state’s
abortion ban would prevent an abortion
if there is a scenario where a woman was
at risk of say losing an organ or having
a very serious medical complication
because of her pregnancy and the Idaho
lawyer actually admitted that it would
prevent abortion in those circumstances
he said yes Idaho law does say that
abortions in that case are not allowed
and that really strikes to the heart
about what this case is all about in
Idaho abortions are nearly totally
banned with a very narrow exception to
save the life of the mother and so you
have the justice department saying that
this is in direct conflict with federal
law a law that was passed decades ago
before The Supreme Court overturned R
versus Wade that says that even in
States with abortion bans according to
the justice department that they that
hospitals are still required to
terminate pregnancies if it does risk
the Patients health or possibly risk
their life there was one other notable
exchange and this was under questioning
from Justice Amy Coney Barrett who we
know is one of the conservative justices
on the bench she seemed to get agitated
when trying to get clarity from the
Idaho lawyer she sounded skeptical
asking several follow-ups Josh Turner
the Idaho lawyer was trying to make the
case that the state law preventing
abortions unless a life is in danger is
decided by a case-by case basis Amy con
Barett replied by saying I’m kind of
shocked actually because I thought your
own expert had said below that these
kinds of cases were covered and now
you’re saying that they are not we also
hear you know some more of the liberal
justices on the bench really presenting
caseby casee scenarios that we have seen
unfold across this country bringing to
light one woman situation there in
Florida where she was pregnant early in
her second trimester she was sent home
because she said that the doctors told
her that she was not sick enough in
order to get abortion care in that state
and then eventually she went home she
had to be rushed back to the hospital in
order to get that emergency abortion
that she was initially turned down for
just a day earlier because the doctor
told her that she wasn’t sick enough in
the State of Florida uh it reminds me
and it may be one of the cases that we
have actually profiled in our special on
the break anel cook had a very similar
thing happened to her we spoke to 18
women across 10 different states that
talked about the limits of these medical
emergencies and how in in states with
restrictive abortion bans doctors are
waiting almost to the end to say and
asking whether or not their patients are
sick enough to be able to provide care
and so that really strikes to the heart
of what this uh Supreme Court case is
really about that’s unfolding as these
arguments are unfolding before the
justices right now Diane and Rachel this
is the first time the Supreme Court is
considering the scope of a state
abortion ban since overturning roie Wade
so what’s at stake here given that
context and the fact that this is about
a federal law versus state law yeah
exactly I mean this is exactly what this
is about whether or not uh which law
remains precedent or Paramount here is
it the state law that’s on the books in
Idaho that bans abortions in nearly all
cases with an exception to save the life
of the mother or is it this federal law
that again was put on the books decades
ago and this Federal Healthcare law that
the justice department is citing in
these arguments today is something that
was passed before Rover weight was
overturned it was initially uh designed
and enacted to ensure that hospitals
could not turn away patients who did not
have insurance but needed lifesaving
Medical Treatments and so now the
justice department is saying that
because this law is federal law and
hospitals do get government funding that
they should also be required to
terminate a pregnancy if doctors believe
that a patient’s health or life is at
risk and so this is the argument that is
before The Supreme Court today but and
it really just taking a step back really
points to just how confusing these laws
are and how states are dealing with this
in real time there are some states uh
even there in Idaho where you have
conflicting laws on the books where
doctors are asking themselves which law
takes precedent what goes into effect
and whether or not they can help a
patient who they believe is facing
life-threatening conditions Diane all
right Rachel Scott thank you meanwhile
this afternoon Arizona State lawmakers
will reconvene to debate a civil War era
law that bans nearly all abortions ABC’s
Jaclyn Lee is in Phoenix Arizona with
more on that part of this story jacine
talk to me about the the leadup here in
Arizona and what’s at stake there
now yeah Diane you know this is going to
be the third time house Democrats are
trying to force a vote in order to
repeal this abortion ban they only need
two Republicans to join them and AIDS
are telling ABC news that they do
believe they will have the votes this
time to do that now what we’re also
seeing is we’re seeing House Republicans
they’re expected to introduce three
resolutions today in order to put
measures on the ballot come November
that would restrict access to abortion
the only reason they would be doing that
is because that means they would be
expecting uh this law to be repealed in
Arizona ultimately time will tell that
that’s what we’re seeing play out here
and how are people there
reacting look people are fired up I mean
behind me if you could hear it you could
pretty much see it we’re we’re seeing uh
anti-abortion Advocates speak right now
at a press conference people have signs
and they’re really trying to pressure
Republican lawmakers not to allow this
to go through they want to keep this
Civil War era abortion ban in place of
course they’re arguing they believe that
uh at the point of conception you know a
life is a life so that is their argument
later today we’re also expecting to see
uh abortion Advocates also have a press
conference they are trying to show their
support for Democrats and encourage
Republican lawmakers to go on the other
side in order to appeal this band so
we’re really seeing uh both sides duel
it out today and we’re seeing Arizona be
that latest Battleground State when it
comes to abor and Diane all right Jaclyn

officials confirming coyotes are living

Massachusetts one woman recounting the
frightening moment she came face to face
with the coyote while walking her dog
I’ve never been more scared because I
was like this is insane watch as the
coyote hops a fence chasing after Carrie
chinoski and her dog Brody no no the
coyote thankfully walking away experts
say small dogs and cats can be viewed as
potential prey and warn you should not
allow pets to approach these wild
animals whereas coyotes really don’t
pose significant threat to people they
are very dangerous to pets especially
cats and small dogs have your pets on a
leash walk them bring them
inside so when encountering a coyote
observed from a distance don’t try to
feed them and if they approach make
yourself look bigger by putting your
arms up and making loud noises and
continue to use those techniques until

source and a Tennessee Bill to allow
teachers to carry guns in schools is now
on its way to the governor’s desk house
House Republicans say it’s meant to
protect students but critics say it’s
putting kids at risk this comes a year
after the deadly school shooting in
Nashville that killed six people
including three children ABC’s Andrea
Fuji has the
details amid protests and after a heated
debate lawmakers in Tennessee have
approved a bill allowing certain
teachers to carry firearms in K through
12 schools critics claim it will only
make schools more dangerous this
amendment is to rename this bill the
refusal to protect kids in schools act
because that’s exactly what you all are
doing but one year after a gunman opened
fire at the Covenant School in Nashville
killing six people including three young
students supporters of arming teachers
say it will make a potential school
shooter think twice this bill it seeks
to make the bar so high but to allow the
locals to have the ability do that that
it would create a deterrent across our
state the bill will allow teachers to
carry concealed handguns on a school
campus if they meet certain requirements
including a background check a
psychological evaluation and 40 hours of
firearms training also the principal
school district and local law
enforcement would all have to sign off
on arming School staffers with State
approval Tennessee is set to become at
least the 30th state to allow teachers
to carry guns in some K through 12
schools but a recent Nationwide poll
found 54% of teachers believe arming
Educators would make schools less safe
compared to just 20% who believe it
would make schools
safer our thanks to Andrea fuii for that
report and join me now is the president
of the National Education Association
Becky Pringle for more on this Becky you
taught middle school science for more
than 30 years and you say our elected
leaders need to protect children from
gun violence Tennessee State Republicans
say teachers having guns would do that
what’s your reaction to
that it’s good to be with you this
morning Diane our teachers uh and other
Educators in Tennessee are saying what
they are saying all over this country we
just want to focus on teaching and
nurturing and taking care of our
students making sure they learn the
complete and true history of this
country making sure they have Arts and
Music in their curriculum that’s what we
want to focus on not being armed that is
not what we we’ve been trained to do nor
is it what we have time to do we need to
focus on arming our teachers and schools
with more books we need to arm them with
more resources plentiful resources and
we need to arm them with the mental
health professionals and supports our
students need Becky the law is not
forcing teachers be arms but allowing
those who want to be to be armed so what
do you say to teachers who feel with the
prevalence of school shootings that they
should be armed in the classroom that
they want to feel safer that
way I will tell you uh Diane that once
we have these conversations about arming
teachers as Educators we always feel
like we should be standing in the gaps
to teach and nurture and keep our kids
safe and all Educators feel that weight
and that responsibility when these
conversations are being had that’s why
you see teachers all over the country
standing up and saying no this is not
what we need we need states to follow
the example of the bipartisan safer
Community act where we’re doing Common
Sense things to protect our students in
schools and in their communities and so
Becky I’m out of time but quickly what
are some of those Common Sense
things we know we need stronger
background checks that’s something that
President Biden took on just a few weeks
ago we know we need more mental health
supports we know we need to ensure that
we have less guns not more all right
president of the National Education
Association Becky Pringle Becky we
appreciate your time today thank
you thank you and it may have just
gotten easier to quit your job the
Federal Trade Commission has voted to
ban not compete causes which could
affect one in five us workers ABC’s
Elizabeth shelzy has the details on that
story a sweeping move by the Federal
Trade Commission could reshape the job
prospects of 30 million Americans the
motion passes 3 to2 the FTC voting to
ban non-compete agreements which prevent
workers from switching jobs to work for
a rival company the Nationwide ban means
workers applying for a new job wouldn’t
be forced to sign a non-compete and
almost all existing non-compete clauses
would be voided it’s clear that the
freedom to leave your job and take
another job is fundamental to a free and
fair economy the FTC says the ban will
boost workers wages by up to $488
billion do over 10 years because they’d
be free to seek out better paying jobs
small businesses uh startups are going
to benefit tremendously uh for not
having to work around 9 competes Jordan
Kane is the COO of a small Trucking and
logistics company in Mississippi he says
90% of job applicants he finds are stuck
in non-competes if we didn’t have
non-competes that means that we could
quickly hire people that check all the
boxes for us but business groups
staunchly oppose the ban the US Chamber
of Commerce calling it a blatant power
grab that will undermine American
business’s ability to remain
competitive and Elizabeth’s Chelsea
joins me now for more on this let withth
right now this band set to go into
effect in August but what kind of legal
challenges does it face a big legal
challenge Diane we already heard for the
past year since this was first proposed
by the FTC the US Chamber of Commerce
which represents big businesses across
the country came out and said it
staunchly opposes this ban it is
basically now said that it’s going to
sue the FTC as soon as today it argues
that these non-competes are essential to
protect trade secrets to keep
competitiveness among companies and so
you can expect that while this should go
into in the next 120 days so looking in
August for the FDC ban that could be
delayed by this legal battle interesting
all right Elizabeth Chelsea thank you
thanks meanwhile the Biden
Administration is taking action to
protect airline passengers a new rule
would mandate an automatic refund to
anyone who has a flight canceled ABC
News Transportation correspondent Gio
bonitz is at LaGuardia Airport with the
latest Gio hey there this is a major
change from the Department of
Transportation and again it affects your
money take a look at this because
passengers must now get automatic cash
refunds when a flight is canceled for
any reason or delayed by more than 3
hours for domestic flights more than 6
hours for international but there’s more
here if the airline changes any of your
airports adds connections downgrades
your seat or even changes your plane to
one that’s less accessible for those
with disabilities those are all new
reasons for cash refunds also the
smaller issues here too if your checked
bags aren’t delivered within as little
as 12 hours or your Wi-Fi didn’t work
your enti to refunds there too and you
should get that money back within 7 days
but I’ve got to tell you here it’s not
going to happen right away and that’s
because the do says that Airlines need
time to put this in place there’s a
deadline though they have six months to
do it Diane Transportation correspondent

welcome back the Food and Drug
Administration says it’s found remnants
of the bird flu virus of pasteurized
milk the agency issued a statement
saying the samples came from dairy cows
known to be infected but it is stressing
the US milk supply is safe to drink the
statement says the pasteurizing process
made it so the virus could not be passed
on the announcement comes nearly a month
after Aven influenza virus was detected
in dairy cows in at least eight
states and now it’s time for Patel it
like it is where Dr Al Patel shows
Health advice on the topics that matter
most to you and today today we’re
talking about a rise of human infections
from rat urine here’s Dr Patel with
more human infections from rat urine are
on the rise in New York City what is
happening I’m ABC News medical
contributor Dr Lo Patel and here’s what
you need to know the New York Department
of Health and mental hygiene has issued
a health advisory after multiple cases
of human leptospirosis an infection
that’s associated with exposure to rat
urine have been reported in New York
City in 2023 there are 24 reported cases
higher than any previous year and this
year there are already six how does this
happen well let’s get
scientific rats pigs horses dogs cattle
and other wild animals can get infected
with a bacteria called leptospira and
then spread the disease leptospirosis
through their urine and sometimes
infected animals can have no sympt
symptoms and spread the disease for
months even years and I know what you’re
thinking I don’t touch animal urine mean
I hope that’s what you’re thinking but
you wouldn’t always know if you did
sorry that’s nature and any contact with
infected soil water or food in your eyes
mouth nose or through broken skin can
spread disease the NYC Health Department
lists handling trash bags or food waste
as a potential cause of some of these
cases and remember if you accidentally
swim in or drink contaminated water you
can also get infected while
leptospirosis is relatively rare in the
United States the recent reports in New
York City tell us that it’s still around
and there are good habits we can all
follow like wearing gloves or shoes if
you’re handling trash or soil managing
rodent infestations and maybe not
swimming in potentially contaminated
water and if you develop any symptoms
such as a high fever muscle aches
vomiting rash and have had occupational
or recreational exposure to animals you
should talk to your doctor
and Dr L Batel joins me now for more on
this Dr Batel that was a lot to unpack
and it is a little gross so let’s get
into this what exactly is this disease
and who is most at
risk well Diane I appreciate your facial
expressions with all this because any
headlines about animal urine spreading
infection is likely going to raise some
eyebrows now in the United States there
are about 100 to 150 reported cases
worldwide there’s 500,000 to about a
million these are both likely under
reported now people who are most at risk
are anyone who may come in contact with
contaminated water either through OCC
occupational or recreational exposure
but also people who may be working
directly with animals now with all these
cases that are reported the majority
happen to happen in humid or tropical
climates or in the settings that I
described in the United States according
to the CDC about 50% of cases happen in
Puerto Rico so it is everywhere but
likely localized to these specific
scenarios
so what are the signs and symptoms of
leptospirosis did I say it right you did
I’m impressed with that so
leptospirosis can present in a broad set
of symptoms like fever vomiting muscle
aches and fatigue and if left untreated
it can pres progress to a more severe
phase that could include kidney liver
failure even menitis now I know what
people are thinking like that’s really
broad how could I actually tell you may
not always be able to tell because
symptoms could pop up as early as a few
days to a month after your initial
exposure and I’ll tell people I have
taken care of people in the hospital
specifically one teenager I think about
who had flu symptoms for about two weeks
and they were getting progressively
worse we finally found out that he had
exposure to contaminated water during a
trip to Hawaii and that’s how the
diagnosis of leptospirosis came to be so
it is really important that you have
symptoms like this that you stay calm
you talk to a doctor and you mention any
potential exposures you may have had if
you’re symptoms cannot be explained by a
respiratory virus or something else so
how can we avoid Contracting this and
what’s the treatment if you do the most
important thing that people can do is
pay attention to the type of freshwater
or water sources that you’re around if
water looks dirty if there’s animals
nearby if there are sewage pipes if you
question it you probably shouldn’t swim
in that water this is a lot of cases are
spread by contaminated water and
obviously this risk can increase during
Hurricane or flooding season if you’re
working with contaminated water or soil
or animals wearing gloves protective
Footwear and PPE is extremely important
if you do get sick fortunately there are
antibiotics that can handle cases of
leptospirosis if you have a severe case
IV antibiotics and supportive care may
be needed and remember to manage those
rodent infestations hey New Yorkers in
the words of senior producer Kate Fallon
rats don’t run this city we
do all right Dr Patel thank you for that

a lot of news today so let’s get into it
listen now to the Daily News podcast
honored with four Edward R murl Awards
and see why the New York Times calls it
a news podcast worth listening to start

beautiful young woman killed at the very
beginning of her life what happens when

live welcome back it’s that time of year
for spring cleaning and that can involve
getting rid of a lot of old clothes but
have you ever wonder wondered where that
clothing goes after you put it in the
donation bin as part of our Earth week
series The Power of us chief
meteorologist Ginger Z tracked where
your garments
go in the scramble of the spring clean
you might be haunted by piles of
clothing that you then put in that
bag and then that bag is often kind of
blindly donated a donation site or a bin
like this but what we learned is that
most of the clothing that’s going in
there is not stay in the United States
what donation centers can’t sell or give
away They smash together into th000 lb
Bales and sell it per pound or per kilo
to exporters sorters and then they will
ship it to various places around the
world normally in the global South the
United States exports the most
secondhand clothing in the world two
times the amount that China exported in
the latest data from 2019 most of our
hand-me-downs are exported to Latin
America and Africa the research that was
coming out of Gana was that 40% of that
clothing wasn’t sold and so ended up you
know being just waste that waste is
infamously showing up in landfills from
Kenya to
Chile I’ve been painfully aware of all
of that for years and the last thing I
want is for my donations to end up in a
landfill so in my closet it’s not just
one bag but many bags that are supposed
to go to all the right places the spot
that says we’ll take your holy clothes
that are damaged the one for
unmentionables the one for sneakers the
tech bag after bag after bag I just want
one place to send it all and that is
when my phone read my mind and gave me
trashy trashy is a company that says
we’ll take it all the shoes underwear
stained t-shirts just pay 20 bucks for
this bag and they claim it will get to
the right
place I packed up my bag and went to El
Paso to see the process and so we’ll
open your bag okay great y so she’s
going to put the towel towel and the
linen uh-huh shoes in the shoes shoes
and so when we talk about sorting and
Grading that really is the process for
figuring out what’s in your bag what has
value where it can go what can be reused
what can be recycled and so that is a
really important part of the process for
keeping things out of landfill and is
that not happening after we donate to a
regular place I mean the reality is that
different donation centers have
different priorities and so globally we
throw about 85% of textiles into
landfill is there a way to guarantee
that my towel doesn’t end up in a
landfill there is no way to 100%
guarantee that at some point it won’t
end up there the thing that we do to
guarantee it won’t end up putting the
landfill soon is making sure it’s the
right quality the right Market the right
price for that market and companies like
retold and subset are doing the same the
secondhand Market has taken a lot of
heat for those landfills lately but
fashion and environmental experts say
they’re not the problem problem are they
a bit of the unsung hero there’s no
magical place that they’re able to put
these garments so it’s still going
places but I feel like the blame is
pinned on them when the blame should be
the industry that is producing them to
begin
with the US exported more than
158,000 tons of used clothing in 1991
less than 30 years later we are
exporting more than five times that
volume so what can we do stop buying
clothing that’s really the first one you
could take the no new clothes challenge
with me I’m almost to two years or you
buy only secondhand that actually works
in the no new clothes or you can also
try this widget called Benny I’ve been
using it it helps you automatically shop
and see where you can find an item that
you really need and really will use
where you can find it secondhand when
you do buy a new you just buy quality
and something that you know you’ll love
and you can kind of work out that cost
per wear Diane good tips chief
meteorologist and editor of our climate
unit Jinger Z thank you and as we
celebrate earthquake we’re also speaking
to an award-winning Chef who’s dedicated
her life’s work to veganism and
sustainability Priyanka Nike says she’s
trying to reshape the gastronomic
landscape and teaching others how to
make their kitchens eco-friendly and
Priyanka Nike joins me now for more on
how we can all do this Priyanka thanks
so much for coming on you know as a chef
why do you think it’s so important to go
green especially in the kitchen and what
are some steps that we can take at home
to make our kitchens more
eco-friendly well good morning and thank
you for having me obviously this topic
is so relevant to me and I really have
dedicated my my love for cooking around
this but food is one of the top three
contributors to uh carbon emissions and
waste especially in the US over 92
billion pounds of food is wasted in the
us alone so we can really start by
making a change in our kitchen you
certainly don’t need to be Chef in order
to do this for instance I live in a big
city so I don’t have access to a
backyard or soil so what I do is I take
my scraps and I actually freeze it in a
compostable container and then I take it
to my local farmers market and I compost
it there or I actually use the scraps to
repurpose them into new dishes so for
instance you can take garlic Peels and
onion peels you can bake it on low in
the oven and create onion and garlic
powder or you can use your scraps to
make a vegetable stock which I know
everyone is familiar with the other
thing I love to do is taking fresh
fruits and vegetables and freezing them
at their Peak freshness so these are
some fresh cranberries I had to use them
for a recipe but I certainly was not
going to eat one PB bag of cranberries
so I decided to freeze them and now I
can use it for baking for cocktails or
just to Tha and eat when I want to enjoy
some cranberries and the last thing is
leftovers so I love packing all of my
food at restaurants make sure to even
pack that free bread that you get this
is some leftover rice from from some
Indian takeout that I had I’m going to
repurpose this into a rice and bean
veggie burger later it’s going to be so
hearty and so healthy and this food is
going to end up in my stomach rather
than in the trash I love that you save
your money and the planet at the same
time and pranka you also say some of
meals themselves are greener than others
so what are some ways that we can
prepare more climate conscious food at
home certainly I think the the first the
first thing anyone can do is reduce your
meat intake I am vegan I certainly do
not expect everyone to go vegan
overnight but even just reducing your
red meat intake will minimize the use of
water in our agricultural system because
red meat uses the most water to be
produced so even going meatless a few
times a week can really help create
Greener meals but also using all of the
produce so some of the clips you’re
seeing I’m using watermelon rinds to
make a pickle out of I use Carrot Tops
to make a pesto so Really Trying to
minimize all of the uh waste from the
vegetable and the produce and making
sure that your dishes are colorful the
more colorful your dishes are the more
nutrient-rich they are as
well all right prianca Nike thank you

[Music]
live hi I’m Dian maso let’s get straight
to our top story the US Supreme Court is
hearing arguments about a near total ban
on abortion in Idaho the big question
here is whether federal law governing
Emergency Care protects abortion access
at hospitals if a woman’s health is at
risk ABC’s Elizabeth sheli joins me for
more on that Elizabeth what stands out
to you from the argument so far so right
now Diane we are hearing from the Biden
Administration which is suing Idaho over
this strict abortion ban so remember
Idaho is one of more than a dozen states
that have put these abortion bans in
place since the Supreme Court overturned
row so this is really a major test for
the Supreme Court in the wake of the
do’s decision that overturned row what
we’re hearing right now is how the
question of whether this federal law
that allows people to have emergency
care so when you go to an emergency room
you get care if that conflicts with the
state abortion ban and what we heard
from the solicitor general who’s arguing
on behalf of the Biden Administration
she made a pretty Stark point about how
this is playing out right now in
emergency room he said doctors in idah
and the women in Idaho are right now in
an impossible position where they’re
denied care they’re they’re finding
themselves having to go to other states
so it gets to this question of does a
federal law preempt some of these State
bands that we’re seeing it really is a
major test what kind of precedent could
this ruling set huge because we’ve seen
14 states have near total bans on
abortion since the end of row v Wade
these restrictions have been really up
to the states that’s what the Supreme
Court decided in the end of row so this
could have a ripple effect depending on
how this case plays out obviously the
other effect here Diane is political we
know that abortion has been a motivating
issue for a lot of Voters we’ve seen
that in every state where abortion goes
on the ballot in front of Voters the
abortion rights POS position has won so
if the Supreme Court when it makes a
decision on this cage which is which is
expected uh later in the summer if this
turns out to be further imposing kind of
reinforcing states that are putting
these restrictions in place will that
then galvanized voters again come fall
the Supreme Court’s also hearing
arguments on the abortion drug myth of
pyone what are you watching for there
right so mytha prisone that’s the most
commonly used abortion medication in the
US it’s used in more than half of
abortions and we’ve seen what has
happened there this has been winding its
way through the courts
myth of pyone has been there have been
restrictions put in place at the state
level uh that were re upheld by an
appeals court on the use of that drug so
the question is will the Supreme Court
keep some of those restrictions in place
for example making it harder to get the
drug available through the mail the
Biden Administration again says they
want to keep that available as much as
possible again gets to the question of
will there be more restrictions another
uh decision that will have big political
consequences I know you’re watching them
both closely Elizabeth Shel thank you
thanks Dan meanwhile this afternoon
Arizona State lawmakers will reconvene
to debate a Civil War era law that bans
nearly all abortions ABC’s Jaclyn Lee is
in Phoenix with more on that Jacqueline
what’s the latest and what’s at stake
here well Diane in about an hour things
when things kick off over here at the at
the house now house Democrats will be
trying for a third time to force vote in
order to repeal this Civil War era
abortion ban they only need two
Republicans to join them to override
house Speaker Ben Toma Bena he is a
republican he has made it very clear
that he will be doing everything in his
power to keep this ban in place he has
also said repeatedly he does feel
abortion is immoral now what we’re
seeing is we’re hearing that House
Republicans will also be introducing uh
three measures today in order to add
them to the ballot in November what
we’re told is that they’re doing this in
order to muddy the waters what the only
reason they’d be doing that actually is
because they’re expecting this uh law to
eventually be repealed we know over at
the Senate the uh Senate Democrats
introduced their own version of this
bill in order to repeal this law that
will have its second reading today the
earliest the Senate can vote on this
measure is next week uh so overall when
we look towards November Republicans are
trying to put uh multiple measures on
the ballot uh to restrict abortion
access but we’re also seeing abortion
rights Advocates gather signatures in
order to put their own measure on the
ballot which would uh protect the uh
abortion rights in the state enshrine it
in the state constitution so those are
all the things that we’re looking at
right now Diane all right a lot of
pieces to that puzzle Jaclyn Lee in
Arizona thank you and President Biden
has signed a $95 billion Bill to get Aid
to Ukraine Israel and Taiwan it also
includes a potential ban on Tik Tock in
the US the president is touting this as
a win saying the legislation will make
America and the world
safer and it continues America’s
leadership in the world and everyone
knows it gives vital support to
America’s partners and they so they can
defend themselves against threats to
their sovereignty and to the lives and
freedom of their
citizens I want to bring in ABC News
White House correspondent Karen Travers
for more Karen President Biden says it’s
a good day for America for Europe and
for World Peace So what message does
this bill send to the world yeah the
President says this shows that the
United States will stand up for its
friends and also stand up to dictators
Diane this is a significant amount of US
taxpayer money $95 billion 61 of that
will be going to Ukraine $26 billion for
Israel and the president said that there
is going to be no delays in getting that
assistance to ukraine1 billion dollar of
security assistance will start going out
almost immediately he said within hours
the United States will be able to send
uh artillery rounds air defense
ammunition and armored vehicles that is
coming from existing us stockpiles Diane
the Pentagon had prepared this in
anticipation of that bill passing the
president said those stockpiles then
will be replenished with equipment made
here in the United States by us
companies Karen the President also
addressed what he says was missing in
this bill take a look there’s one thing
this bill does not do border security
you know just this year I proposed to
negotiated and agree to the strongest
border security bill this country has
ever ever ever seen
it was
bipartisan it should have been included
in this bill and I’m determined to get
it done for the American
people so what is the White House’s plan
to tackle border security now yeah you
know they would like to have done this
with Congress the president had proposed
funding back in the fall when it looked
like Republicans were not going to go
along with funding for Ukraine unless
there was a border security component he
mentioned that bipartisan negotiated
Senate deal that was eventually rejected
by house Republic an under significant
pressure from former president Donald
Trump so when you look at this what the
president signed into law today it’s
everything he wanted last fall and
nothing that Thee the Republicans on
Capitol Hill were pushing for in those
early negotiations for now the White
House says the president will continue
pushing for Congress to approve funding
for border security to Surge resources
down there there’s a lot of talk about
what the president could do through
executive action but Diane they say that
could not replace what is needed to be
done through funding from Congress
and Karen we have to talk Tik Tock
because this package also includes an
ultimatum for Chinese parent company
bite dance essentially saying sell or be
banned now Tik Tok CEOs is signaling
that the company plans to sue what’s the
latest on that yeah China that bite
dance the Chinese parent company of Tik
Tock is saying this is not over with the
signing of this bill they are going to
take this to court and fight this as
long and and hard as they can the bill
says that they have nine months now for
this for sale they could get a three
month extension if a sale is in the
works with the potential for legal uh
Maneuvers here it could even be longer
than that now the Administration has
insisted this is not a ban on Tik Tok it
is forcing the company to sell Diane
what is notable of course is that
government phones are not allowed to use
Tik Tok but the Biden campaign still
uses Tik Tok there are 170 million
Americans who have Tik Tok on their
phones it is not going to disappear
today even in nine months it will not
disappear but it could mean that you
can’t download it at that point from
different stores that you could get it
from on your phones and you might not be
able to get any new updates to it if
that legal process has started to play
out all right White House correspondent
Karen Travers thank you and former
president Trump’s hush money trial is in
recess today but a decision on alleged
gag order violations could come at any
time this after the prosecution’s first
witness National inquir publisher David
pecker admitted to the court that he
used the Tabloid to help Trump’s
campaign senior investigator
correspondent Aaron kki has the
latest it was August 2015 when former
National inquir publisher David pecker
said he was summoned to Trump Tower
Donald Trump had announced his candidacy
and pecker testified Trump and Michael
Cohen asked me what can I do and what my
magazines could do to help the campaign
pecker said the three men hatched a
confidential agreement the national
Inquirer would publish positive stories
about Trump and negative stories about
his opponents he said Cohen would send
me information about Ted Cruz or Ben
Carson or Marco r
and that was the basis for our story and
we would embellish Trump Amplified one
story attempting to link Cruz’s father
to the Kennedy assassination what was he
doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly
before the death before the shooting
it’s it’s horrible Becker testified the
national Inquirer created the story by
claiming to match photos of Cruz’s
father with pictures of Lee Harvey
Oswald but that wasn’t all pecker said
he told Trump I will be your eyes and
ears agreeing to purchase damaging
stories so they would not get published
that includes a $30,000 payment to a
Trump World Tower doorman who was
shopping an unfounded claim Trump
fathered a child out of wedlock which he
denied the doorman Dino SJ judan spoke
with GMA in 2018 did you believe they
were paying you to pursue the story or
to kill the story oh initially I thought
they would there was really you know I
the inquir reports story so I figured
you know they they were really they
wanted to report the story that’s what I
thought but now now as I look back on
things it made sense to me sense to me
more so that they were just pretty much
trying to quiet me down as pecker
recounted the doorman’s claim Trump
silently shook his head after court
Trump complained about the limited gag
order meant to prevent him from verbally
attacking Witnesses we have a gag order
which to me is totally unconstitutional
I’m not allowed to talk but people are
allowed to talk about me prosecutors
accused Trump of repeatedly violating
the gag order and they said it’s posing
a real threat to the trial when the
defense insisted Trump is complying the
judge interjected you are losing all
credibility and let’s bring in ABC News
senior investigative correspondent eron
kki along with ABC News legal
contributor Kim wayy for more on this
Aaron prosecutors are alleging that
Trump violated this gag order at least
10 times what’s at stake for the former
president here potentially being held in
contemp of Court prosecutors are asking
for a fine for each offending post so
that would amount to about
$10,000 but prosecutors also said that
it seems like Trump
is angling for the judge to throw him in
jail and in fact Diane law enforcement
sources have told ABC news that the US
secret service has actually started
preparing for that possibility
Unthinkable though it may be now Kim
Trump said yesterday that the gag order
is unconstitutional and infringes on his
freedom of speech in court his lawyer
argued that this was all protected
political speech but the judge didn’t
seem to buy that what did you make of
his response telling the defense they’re
losing credibility
well there is a First Amendment right to
free speech but it’s not unlimited there
are lots of constraints um on speech
under the First Amendment and one of
them is the ensuring that there’s a fair
trial and there’s an administr
administration of justice and safety for
the people involved so the judge is
balancing that you know I thought that
comment was directed at his lawyer
essentially saying you know help me
control this guy this is your client
understanding that Donald Trump just
seems to not care about the judge’s
orders and as as Aaron just indicated
might even be vying for some
accountability because that could help
him in his campaign get his supporters
behind him raise more money and the
judge has to understand that could
actually make things worse for the
people involved and less safe so it’s a
very fraught moment uh for this judge
and for this process because of Donald
Trump now eron David Pecker’s testimony
continues tomorrow but so far he’s
already said that he essentially agreed
to be the eyes and ears of the Trump
campaign for Trump and Michael Cohen
agreeing to kill negative stories about
Trump publish uh publish negative
stories about his opponents and he said
this was something that he had not done
for Trump before that this started when
Trump started running for president in
2015 how critical is that well it David
pecker and Donald Trump had a
long-standing relationship in fact
pecker wanted to publish a magazine
called Trump style he always said that
you put Trump this was around the time
of The Apprentice in the National
inquire it’s going to sell magazines but
the relationship changed after Trump’s
announcement of his candidacy when
pecker became the eyes and ears part of
this confidential agreement he did
something that he said the magazine had
not done before and that is buy up these
negative stories about Trump and then
bury them not publish them catch and
kill and the jury heard two examples the
one the doorman was shopping this
unfounded claim that Trump fathered a
child out of wedlock and then the story
of Karen McDougall the Playboy model who
said she had a year long affair with
Trump and the jury left off there and
going to pick up tomorrow hearing how
the national Inquirer paid McDougall
$150,000 for the rights to her story Kim
how crucial is the timeline that
Pecker’s laying out here saying that
this was in direct relation to the
election and how difficult will it then
be for the defense to try to argue that
this wasn’t related to the election that
this was a guy for example just trying
to protect himself from his family
finding out about these negative stories
yeah so that’s that’s the the key
element um that raises these U business
records offenses to felonies is this
connection allegedly to the election so
it’s really important for the for the
government to establish that this was
not about protecting Melania and the
timeline and sort of not just the Stormy
Daniels but these other catch and kill
incidents all around the election I
think is strong for the government but
on cross-examination the you know I
think they can bring out that this is
just what happens in elections uh that’s
one of the strongest defenses
potentially is to persuade the jury
maybe this happened but does this really
rise to the level of a felony that
should take uh someone’s Liberty away
potentially and I think we’re going to
see that theme throughout the rest of
the trial all right Aaron kerki Kim wayy
thank you both and tomorrow the Supreme
Court will take up a landmark case on
presidential immunity the justices will
hear oral arguments on whether former
president Trump can claim presidential
immunity from being prosecuted for his
alleged efforts to overturn the 2020
election Trump has pleaded not guilty to
four felony counts including conspiracy
to defraud the United States and
obstruction we’ll bring you that hearing
live tomorrow starting at 10 a.m.

millions of people in at least 10 states
are under threat for damaging winds
large hail and strong tornado as two
storm systems will keep Tornado Alley
active over the next four days a preview
could pop up later today in Texas with
potentially fast growing storms bringing
large hail and damaging wind
meteorologist Samar Theodor is tracking
it all hi Samara hi yes as you stated
Diane this is a multi-day event so we’re
getting that little precursor uh today
tonight you can see just south of the
Texas Panhandle right near Leck Midland
we are in for some damaging winds large
hail so it’s on the lower end of the
spectrum of severe weather still a few
sporadic strong storms could pop in that
area even as far uh East as north and
east as Tulsa here’s where we have the
more elevated risk and threats as we
head into Thursday and Friday look at
the Zone in Orange okay so we have
Western Oklahoma towards the Texas
Panhandle there uh towards wiah very
large Hill and this is a Zone where we
could see strong tornadoes then Friday
this shifts farther east a few tornadoes
still possible but we will see more
widespread damaging winds large Hill
from De Moy Kansas City Springfield good
morning Little Rock good morning Dallas
get prepared for severe weather on your
Friday then we’re already tracking our
next storm system and this one is going
to impact the weekend time frame for
some areas that would have been
previously hit at the end of the week so
Saturday Oklahoma City wiah Kansas City
you’re up next for another round of
severe weather and then that threat
shifts farther east into Poria Chicago
right on down into shreport on Sunday
the other story I want to talk about is
temperatures a lot of the warmer air
that we’re experiencing is only going to
help to energize these storms especially
as we head into the weekend so we could
see some strong storms popping then
we’re much warmer than normal in the
midsection of the country as we head
into next week look at these
temperatures Phoenix 93 New York City
Washington DC if you were waiting for a
day we could get outside really enjoy
the weather temperatures will be
skyrocketing into the upper 80s look how
close they are to 90 on next week Monday
in DC Diane meteorologist Mar Theodore
thank you and climate scientists say
change to the environment is impacting
different communities in different ways
a groundbreaking study in 1987 found
growing evidence that people of color
across the United States are
disproportionately affected by climate
change and environmental issues
including living in communities near
uncontrolled toxic waste sites now in
202 24 several environmental activist
groups and legislators are still trying
to address environmental inequity the
founder of intersectional
environmentalists and author of a book
by the same name Leah Thomas joins me
now for more on that Leah thanks for
coming on I want to start with this term
you coined intersectional
environmentalism can you explain what
that
means absolutely so an intersectional
approach to environmentalism considers
who is the most impacted by
environmental issues and those factors
often overlap so it might be lower
income Community communities Urban or
rural communities communities of color
Etc it’s really important to consider
who is the most impacted by
environmental issues when looking at
environmental
hazards so what inspired you to start
doing this work so I used to work at
Patagonia so in the outdoor industry and
I was also a park ranger for a couple of
Summers and I had so much fun but then
when I started researching that
communities like mine like the
African-American community in the United
States um is unequally burdened with
environmental hazards and that also goes
for the communities I mentioned earlier
rural communities indigenous communities
Etc I really want to make some noise
about the inequity and provide people
with Pathways to get connected with
organizations in their neighborhoods
that are addressing these issues I
wanted to be kind of a positive
representation of what a black girl
environmentalist looks like and spread
the word about not only the inequity but
all the amazing activists that are
tackling these issues so what steps do
you think have been done recently to
help fix this problem and what more can
people in their own homes people
watching right now do individually to
try to help this
problem yeah I want to be as optimistic
as possible and we have a lot to be
excited about for the first time in
history we have an environmental justice
Council that’s working with this white
house and we have billions of dollars
that are specifically for environmental
justice so this is really historic and
the first time ever even though the
environmental justice movement began in
the 80s so if people want to get
involved keep doing what you’re doing
because good stuff is happening and then
you can use the intersectional
environmentalist database to find a
local Grassroots environmental justice
organization that’s tackling the issue
of social justice and environmentalism
at the same time all right Leah Thomas

one early morning news on ABC News live
you’re watching America’s number one
streaming news keep streaming with ABC

live welcome back to ABC News live first
thanks for streaming with us you’re
looking at the Supreme Court on this
Wednesday where justices are set to hear
arguments about a near total ban on
abortion in H we will have coverage on
that all day long but first we have some
other news to get to here’s a rundown
right now the clock is ticking for Tik
Tok a bill that threatens to ban the
social media platform in the US is on
its way to the president’s desk the
legislation gives Tik tok’s Chinese
parent company bite dance an ultimatum
sell the app or be shut down in this
country lawmakers on both sides claim
the Chinese government could force bite
dance to hand over Americans data or use
the app to spread misinformation the
platform is used by 170 million million
Americans bite Dan is vowing to fight
the abandon Court calling it a clear
violation of the First
Amendment tabloid publisher David pecker
is expected back on the stand tomorrow
in former president Trump’s criminal
hush money trial pecker testified
yesterday about his relationship with
Trump and their catch and kill agreement
to keep unflattering stories about the
then candidate out of the media court is
in recess today but a ruling on Trump’s
alleged gag order violations could come
down at any time prosecutors are asking
the judge to hold Trump contempt but say
they’re not seeking jail time still law
enforcement sources tell ABC news that
secret service is preparing for that
possibility and check out this rescue at
a New Jersey pet hotel police saved 46
dogs after a fire in Fairfield forced an
evacuation of the facility Crews ran in
without breathing equipment to save the
animals no serious injuries were
reported
[Music]
and a Tennesseee Bill to allow teachers
to carry guns in schools is now on its
way to the governor’s desk house House
Republicans say it’s meant to protect
students but critics say it’s putting
kids at risk this comes a year after the
deadly school shooting in Nashville that
killed six people including three
children ABC’s Andrea fujii has the
details amid protests and after a heated
debate lawmakers in Tennessee have
approved a bill allowing certain
teachers to carry firearms in K through
12 schools critics claim it will only
make schools more dangerous this
amendment is to rename this bill the
refusal to protect kids in schools act
because that’s exactly what you all are
doing but one year after a gunman open
fire at the Covenant School in Nashville
killing six people including three young
students supporters of army teachers say
it will make a potential school shooter
think twice this bill it seeks to make
the bar so high but to allow the locals
to have the ability to do that that it
would create a deterrent across our
state the bill will allow teachers to
carry concealed handguns on a school
campus if they meet certain requirements
including a background check a
psychological evaluation and 40 hours of
firearms training also the principal
school district and local law
enforcement would all have to sign off
on arming School staffers with State
approval Tennessee is set to become at
least the 30th state to allow teachers
to carry guns in some K through 12
schools but a recent Nationwide poll
found 54 % of teachers believe arming
Educators would make schools less safe
compared to just 20% who believe it
would make schools
safer our thanks to Andrea fuii for that
report and joining me now is the
president of the National Education
Association Becky Pringle for more on
this Becky you taught middle school
science for more than 30 years and you
say our elected leaders need to protect
children from gun violence Tennessee
State Republicans say teachers having
guns would do that what’s your reaction
to that
it’s good to be with you this morning
Diane our teachers uh and other
Educators in Tennessee are saying what
they are saying all over this country we
just want to focus on teaching and
nurturing and taking care of our
students making sure they learn the
complete and true history of this
country making sure they have Arts and
Music in their curriculum that’s what we
want to focus on not being armed that is
not what we we’ve been trained to do nor
is it what we have time to do we need to
focus on arming our teachers and schools
with more books we need to arm them with
more resources plentiful resources and
we need to arm them with the mental
health professionals and supports our
students need Becky the law is not
forcing teachers be arms but allowing
those who want to be to be armed so what
do you say to teachers who feel with the
prevalence of school shootings that they
should be armed in the classroom that
they want to feel safer that
way I will tell you uh Diane that once
we have these conversations about arming
teachers as Educators we always feel
like we should be standing in the gaps
to teach and nurture and keep our kids
safe and all Educators feel that weight
and that responsibility when these
conversations are being had that’s why
you see teachers all over the country
standing up and saying no this is not
what we need we need state to follow the
example of the bipartisan safer
Community act where we’re doing Common
Sense things to protect our students in
schools and in their communities and so
Becky I’m out of time but quickly what
are some of those Common Sense
things we know we need stronger
background checks that’s something that
President Biden took on just a few weeks
ago we know we need more mental health
supports we know we need to ensure that
we have less guns not more all right
president of the National Education
Association Becky Pringle Becky we
appreciate your time today thank
you thank you and it may have just
gotten easier to quit your job the
Federal Trade Commission has voted to
ban not compete causes which could
affect one in five us workers ABC’s
Elizabeth Shel has the details on that
story a sweeping move by the Federal
Trade Commission could reshape the job
prospects of 30 million Americans the
motion passed
3 to2 the FTC voting to ban non-compete
agreements which prevent workers from
switching jobs to work for a rival
company the Nationwide ban means workers
applying for a new job wouldn’t be
forced to sign a non-compete and almost
all existing non-compete clauses would
be voided it’s clear that the freedom to
leave your job and take another job is
fundamental to a free and fair economy
the FTC says the ban will boost workers
wages but by up to $488 billion over 10
years because they’d be free to seek out
better paying jobs small businesses uh
startups are going to benefit
tremendously uh for not having to work
around non-competes Jordan Kane is the
COO of a small Trucking and logistics
company in Mississippi he says 90% of
job applicants he finds are stuck in
non-competes if we didn’t have
non-competes that means that we could
quickly hire people that check all the
boxes for us but business groups
staunchly oppose the ban the US Chamber
of Commerce calling it a blatant power
grab that will undermine American
business’s ability to remain
competitive and Elizabeth Chelsea joins
me now for more on this Elizabeth right
now this band set to go into effect in
August but what kind of legal challenges
does it face a big legal challenge Diane
we already heard for the past year since
this was first proposed by the FTC the
US Chamber of Commerce which represents
big businesses across the country came
out and said it staunchly opposes this
ban it is basically now said that it’s
going to sue the FTC as soon as today it
argues that these non-competes are
essential to protect trade secrets to
keep competitiveness among companies and
so you can expect that while this should
go into place in the next 120 days so
looking at August for the FTC ban that
could be delayed by this legal battle
interesting all right Elizabeth Chelsea
thank you thanks meanwhile the Biden
Administration is taking action to
protect airline passengers a new rule
would mandate an automatic refund to
anyone who has a flight canceled ABC
News Transportation correspondent Gio
bitez is at LaGuardia Airport with the
latest Gio hey there this is a major
change from the Department of
Transportation and again it affects your
money take a look at this because
passengers must now get automatic cash
refunds when a flight is canceled for
any reason or delayed by more than 3
hours for domestic flights more than 6
hours for international but there’s more
here if the airline changes any of your
airports adds connections downgrades
your seat or even changes your plane to
one that’s less accessible for those
with disabilities those are all new
reasons for cash refunds also the
smaller issues here too if your checked
bags aren’t delivered within as little
as 12 hours or your Wi-Fi didn’t work
you’re entitled to refunds there too and
you should get that money back within 7
days but I’ve got to tell you here it’s
not going to happen right away and
that’s because the dot says that
Airlines need time to put this in place
there’s a deadline though they have 6
months to do it Diane Transportation
correspondent GI test thank you coming

welcome back the Food and Drug
Administration says it’s found remnants
of the bird flu virus and samples of
pasteurized milk the agency issued a
statement saying the samples came from
dairy cows known to be infected but it
is stressing the US milk supply is safe
to drink the statement says the
pasteurizing process made it so the
virus could not be passed on the
announcement comes nearly a month after
Aven influenza virus was detected and
dairy cows in at least eight
states and now it’s time for Patel it
like it is where Dr Al Patel shows
Health advice on the topics that
mattered most to you and today today
we’re talking about a rise of human
infections from rat urine here’s Dr
Patel with
more human infections from rat urine are
on the rise in New York City what is
happening I’m ABC News medical
contributor Dr Lo Patel and here’s what
you need to know the New York Department
of Health health and mental hygiene has
issued a health advisory after multiple
cases of human leptospirosis an
infection that’s associated with
exposure to rat urine have been reported
in New York City in 2023 there are 24
reported cases higher than any previous
year and this year there are already six
how does this happen well let’s get
scientific rats pigs horses dogs cattle
and other wild animals can get infected
with a bacteria called leptospira and
then spread the disease lepos sporos is
through their urine and sometimes
infected animals can have no symptoms
and spread the disease for months even
years and I know what you’re thinking I
don’t touch animal urine mean I hope
that’s what you’re thinking but you
wouldn’t always know if you did sorry
that’s nature and any contact with
infected soil water or food in your eyes
mouth nose or through broken skin can
spread disease the NYC Health Department
lists handling trash bags or food waste
as a potential cause of some of these
cases and remember if you accidentally
swim in or drink contaminated water you
can also get infected while
leptospirosis is relatively rare in the
United States the recent reports in New
York City tell us that it’s still around
and there are good habits we can all
follow like wearing gloves or shoes if
you’re handling trash or soil managing
rodent infestations and maybe not
swimming in potentially contaminated
water and if you develop any symptoms
such as a high fever muscle aches
vomiting rash and have had occupational
or recreational exposure to animals you
should talk to your
doctor and Dr latel joins me now for
more on this Dr B that was a lot to
unpack and it is a little gross so let’s
get into this what exactly is this
disease and who is most at
risk well Diane I appreciate your facial
expressions with all this because any
headlines about animal urine spreading
infection is likely going to raise some
eyebrows now in the United States there
are about 100 to 150 reported cases
worldwide there’s 500,000 to about a
million these are both likely under
reported now people who are most at risk
are anyone who may come in contact with
contaminated water either through OCC
occupational or recreational exposure
but also people who may be working
directly with animals now with all these
cases that are reported the majority
happen to happen in humid or tropical
climates or in the settings that I
described in the United States according
to the CDC about 50% of cases happen in
Puerto Rico so it is everywhere but
likely localized to these specific
scenarios so what are the signs and
symptoms of leptospirosis did I say it
right you did I’m impressed with that so
leptospirosis can present in a broad set
of symptoms like fever vomiting muscle
aches and fatigue and if left untreated
it can pres progress to a more severe
phase that could include kidney liver
failure even menitis now I know what
people are thinking like that’s really
BR how could I actually tell you may not
always be able to tell because symptoms
could pop up as early as a few days to a
month after your initial exposure and
I’ll tell people I have taken care of
people in the hospital specifically one
teenager I think about who had flu
symptoms for about two weeks and they
were getting progressively worse we
finally found out that he had exposure
to contaminated water during a trip to
Hawaii and that’s how the diagnosis of
leptospirosis came to be so it is really
important that if you have symptoms like
this that you stay Cal you talked to a
doctor and you mention any potential
exposures you may have had if your
symptoms cannot be explained by a
respiratory virus or something else so
how can we avoid Contracting this and
what’s the treatment if you do the most
important thing that people can do is
pay attention to the type of freshwater
or water sources that you’re around if
water looks dirty if there’s animals
nearby if there are sewage pipes if you
question it you probably shouldn’t swim
in that water this is a lot of cases are
spread by contaminated water and
obviously this risk can increase during
Hurricane or flooding season if you’re
working with contaminated water or soil
or animals wearing gloves protective
Footwear and PPE is extremely important
if you do get sick fortunately there are
antibiotics that can handle cases of
leptospirosis if you have a severe case
IV antibiotics and supportive care may
be needed and remember to manage those
rodent infestations hey New Yorkers in
the words of senior producer Kate Fallon
rats don’t run this city we do
all right Dr Patel thank you for that

live welcome back it’s that time of year
for spring cleaning and that can involve
getting rid of a lot of old clothes but
have you ever wondered where that
clothing goes after you put it in the
donation bin as part of our Earth week
series The Power of us chief
meteorologist Ginger Z tracked where
your garments
go in the scramble of the spring clean
you might be haunted by piles of
clothing that you then put in that
bag and then that bag is often kind of
blindly donated a donation site or a bin
like this but what we learned is that
most of the clothing that’s going in
there is not staying in the United
States what donation centers can’t sell
or give away They smash together into
th000 lb Bales and sell it per pound or
per kilo to exporters sorters and then
they will ship it to various places
around the world normally in the global
South the United States exports the most
secondhand clothing in the world two
times the amount that China exported in
the latest data from 2019 most of our
hand-me-downs are exported to Latin
America and Africa the research that was
coming out of Ghana was that 40% of that
clothing wasn’t sold and so ended up you
know being just waste that waste is
infamously showing up in landfills from
Kenya to
Chile I’ve been painfully aware of all
of that for years and the last thing I
want is for my donations to end up in a
landfill so in my closet it’s not just
one bag but many bags that are supposed
to go to all the right places the spot
that says we’ll take your holy clothes
that are damaged the one for
unmentionables the one for sneakers the
tech bag after bag after bag I just want
one place to send it all and that is
when my phone read my mind and gave me
trashy trashy is a company that says
we’ll take it all the shoes underwear
stained t-shirts just pay 20 bucks for
this bag and they claim it will get to
the right
place I packed up my bag and went to El
Paso to see the process and so we’ll
open your bag okay great up so she’s to
put the towel towel in the linen uhhuh
shoes in the shoes shoes and so when we
talk about sorting and Grading that
really is the process for figuring out
what’s in your bag what has value where
it can go what can be reused what can be
recycled and so that is a really
important part of the process for
keeping things out of landfill and is
that not happening after we donate to a
regular place I mean the reality is that
different donation centers have
different PRI prorities and so globally
we throw about 85% of textiles into
landfill is there a way to guarantee
that my tal doesn’t end up in a landfill
there is no way to 100% guarantee that
at some point it won’t end up there the
thing that we do to guarantee it won’t
end up putting the landfill soon is
making sure it’s the right quality the
right Market the right price for that
market and companies like retold and
subset are doing the same the secondhand
Market has taken a lot of heat for the
those landfills lately but fashion and
environmental experts say they’re not
the problem are they a bit of the unsung
hero there’s no magical place that
they’re able to put these garments so
it’s still going places but I feel like
the blame is pinned on them when the
blame should be the industry that is
producing them to begin
with the US exported more than
158,000 tons of used clothing in 1991
less than 30 years later we are
exporting more than five times that
volume so what can we do stop buying
clothing that’s really the first one you
could take the no new clothes challenge
with me I’m almost to two years or you
buy only secondhand that actually works
in the no new clothes or you can also
try this widget called Benny I’ve been
using it it helps you automatically shop
and see where you can find an item that
you really need and really will use
where you can find it secondhand when
you do buy a new you just buy quality
and something that know you’ll love and
you can kind of work out that cost per
wear Diane good tips Chief meterologist
and editor of our climate unit Jinger Z
thank you and as we celebrate earthquake
we’re also speaking to an award-winning
Chef who’s dedicated her life’s work to
veganism and sustainability Priyanka
Nike says she’s trying to reshape the
gastronomic landscape and teaching
others how to make their kitchens
eco-friendly and Priyanka Nike joins me
now for more on how we can all do this
pryanka thanks so much for coming on you
know as a chef
why do you think it’s so important to go
green especially in the kitchen and what
are some steps that we can take at home
to make our kitchens more
eco-friendly well good morning and thank
you for having me obviously this topic
is so relevant to me and I really have
dedicated my my love for cooking around
this but food is one of the top three
contributors to uh carbon emissions and
waste especially in the US over 92
billion pounds of food is wasted in the
us alone so can really start by making a
change in our kitchen you certainly
don’t need to be a chef in order to do
this for instance I live in a big city
so I don’t have access to a backyard or
soil so what I do is I take my scraps
and I actually freeze it in a
compostable container and then I take it
to my local farmers market and I compost
it there or I actually use the scraps to
repurpose them into new dishes so for
instance you can take garlic Peels and
onion peels you can bake it on low in
the oven and create onion and garlic
powder or you can use your scraps to
make a vegetable stock which I know
everyone is familiar with the other
thing I love to do is taking fresh
fruits and vegetables and freezing them
at their Peak freshness so these are
some fresh cranberries I had to use them
for a recipe but I certainly was not
going to eat one pound bag of
cranberries so I decided to freeze them
and now I can use it for baking for
cocktails or just to thaw and eat when I
want to enjoy some cranberry Beres and
the last thing is leftovers so I love
packing all of my food at restaurants
make sure to even pack that free bread
that you get this is some leftover rice
from from some Indian takeout that I had
I’m going to repurpose this into a rice
and bean veggie burger later it’s going
to be so hearty and so healthy and this
food is going to end up in my stomach
rather than in the trash I love that you
save your money and the planet at the
same time and pranka you also say some
of meals themselves are greener than
others so what are some ways that we can
prepare more climate conscious food at
home certainly I think the the first the
first thing anyone can do is reduce your
meat intake I am vegan I certainly do
not expect everyone to go vegan
overnight but even just reducing your
red meat intake will minimize the use of
water in our agricultural system because
red meat uses the most water to be
produced so even going meatless a few
times a week can really help create
Greener meals but also using all of the
produce so some of the clips you’re
seeing I’m using watermelon rinds to
make a pickle out of I use Carrot Tops
to make a pesto so Really Trying to
minimize all of the uh waste from the
vegetable and the produce and making
sure that your dishes are colorful the
more colorful your dishes are the more
nutrient Rich they are as
well all right prianka Nike thank you

streaming ABC News
live right now on ABC News live $95
billion doll big win for President Biden
and a huge weapons package for Ukraine
that massive foreign aid bill is now law
and we will break it down for you for
the first time since Row versus Wade was
overturned the US Supreme Court takes on
a near total ban on access to abortion
in Idaho what’s at stake as the court
hears arguments this hour and only on
ABC News the CEO of Walmart on the fight
against inflation and the state of the
economy our Alexis christopherus is here
with her exclusive interview this hour
good afternoon everyone I’m Kira
Phillips our top story this hour the
8-month standoff is over Congress
celebrating a major bipartisan Victory
today with President Biden signing that
$95 billion foreign aid package with the
bill now becoming law our leaders have
finally come to an agreement on money
for Ukraine Israel and Taiwan but it
also gets Congress one step closer to
Banning Tick Tock President Biden
praised the long awaited signing at the
White House
it’s a good day for America it’s a good
day for Europe and it’s a good day for
world peace for real this is
consequential I just signed in the law
the National Security package that was
passed by the House of Representatives
this weekend and by the Senate yesterday
it’s going to make America safer it’s
going to make the world safer and it
continues America’s leadership in the
world and everyone knows
it let speak intering your White House
correspondent Selena Wang so Selena
let’s just break down the Bill uh and
what we know this hour yeah Carol well
this is a huge win for President Biden
remember this has been about half a year
in the making President Biden had asked
for this Aid package literally half a
year ago and finally after all of this
political maneuvering finally getting
here across the finish line so this is a
$95 billion Aid package for Ukraine
Israel and Taiwan more than half of it
60 billion is for Ukraine $26 billion is
for Israel and then 8 billion is for
Taiwan and Indo Pacific allies now the
president he’s been facing criticism
from the more Progressive wing of his
party for this unconditional Aid to
Israel but the president making clear in
his remarks today that some of this Aid
is also humanitarian aid for Gaza and he
made very clear in his remarks today
that Israel must immediately without
delay get that surge of humanitarian Aid
to the Palestinian people in
Gaza so Tik Tock is running out a time
clearly what options does the parent
company bite dance have now yeah this
has been such a long Saga years of
scrutiny from lawmakers over Tik Tok and
now finally actually written in this
bill is that Tik Tok could face a ban
within a year if its Chinese parent
company bite dance does not find a buyer
but look this is going to be such a
complicated and drawn out process Kira
because Tik Tok is going to fight this
in the court saying that it violates the
First Amendment your right to free
speech and the Chinese government could
intervene here they could also block a
sale on top of that car it’s not easy to
find a buyer who can afford Tik Tok
we’re talking about tens of billions of
dollars here if not more some sources
tell me that Tik Tok may actually try to
go public instead but even if we do get
to the point where Tik Tok would have to
be banned it’s not just going to
disappear from everyone’s phones instead
it would be banned in the app store
which means new users would not be able
to join and existing users would not be
able to download
updates all right well as we know this
bill has cleared the way for the
Pentagon now to send uh $1 billion in
military aid to Ukraine with shipments
actually to begin in the next few hours
what more can you tell us yeah K well
this is immediate the president said
that they’re working on this right away
as you say the shipments within hours
this is going to include air defense
Munitions artillery rocket systems and
armored vehicles this is really a
Lifeline for Ukraine they’ve been
running out of ammunition so this will
help resupply their defenses and could
help slow Russian advances the big
question is whether or not in this Tri
it’s going to include those long range
attack and missiles this is something
that Ukraine has been asking for we
don’t have confirmation about that yet
but remember the Biden Administration
they have been warning for months about
just how dire the situation is in
Ukraine and some of those classified
intelligence briefing painting a picture
of that situation is partly what caused
house Speaker Mike Johnson to change his
stance on Ukraine and remember the CIA
director had recently said that Ukraine
could lose the war by the end of the
year if the US did not continue it
support so this is a big
deal all right Selena wayang there at
the White House Forest thank you
[Music]
Selena so as Selena just mentioned that
48 package also includes 26 billion doll
in aid for Israel as its war with Hamas
continues to rage on the terrorist
organization releasing this new video
today of HH Goldberg Poland an American
hostage that was held in Gaza for for
more than 200 days now it was captured
during the music festival back on
October 7th though we can only show a
still of the video you can still see
that the man’s left arm has been
amputated there at the forearm we know
this from his parents as well that he
suffered a serious injury to that arm
just before being captured you may
remember David Mir actually interviewed
his parents in Israel the week the war
started and there were two messages in a
row at 811 the first one said I love you
and the second one said I’m
sorry so I immediately knew something
terrible had
happened ABC News Now confirming 133
hostages are still being held in Gaza 36
of whom have officially been declared
dead it’s according to the Israeli uh
prime minister our foreign correspondent
Tom Sufi burd in Jerusalem with more
let’s talk more um about Goldberg
Poland’s mother speaking just outside of
the White House it was just a few weeks
ago Tom right when vice president kamla
Harris met with the hostage families but
it’s still unclear when this video that
we just saw was actually taken what have
you learned about the release of this
today yeah K look the first thing we
learn is that HH gold HH Goldberg
pulling appears to be alive and and
that’s great news for his family I mean
I met them last month I mean this is a
Hamas propaganda video that has to be
underlined uh he’s speaking under Jess
we’ve watched the video through
ourselves of course uh he comes out with
many statements which appear to have
been put into his mouth by Hamas very
critical of the Israeli government but
what’s interesting is the overall thrust
is saying look I need to get out of here
he talks about the conditions being
absolutely dire uh in the darkness uh
the sort of yeah the conditions he’s
being held by himass he says are pretty
awful but this the hostages fam’s forum
and they’re speaking on behalf of uh
John and Rachel hsh’s parents I mean HH
is from California born in California 24
years old jeel Israeli American n
nationality so his his parents on be the
Forum on behalf of his parents are
basically saying that they would like
the video to be shown now at the moment
ABC newss we’re deciding not to show the
the video we’re just showing captions of
it we we’re taking our time to think
through the iics of this it’s not a
simple decision people should realize
that in these kind of journalistic
moments but look this this is a very
very significant video and it comes at a
time where really the negotiation
process uh to get the hostages out to
get a ceasefire is really really at a
low E and the Israeli government is
preparing to try and move people out of
Rafer in the south of Gaza in
anticipation of a ground operation into
that southern city where it’s possible
and I’m speculating here that many of
the hostages are held because that’s
where where um the Israeli government
and the Israeli military believe Hamas
still has thousands of Fighters
Kira so all of this is unfolding uh as
we have now learned that hundreds have
bodies have been discovered in Mass
Graves Tom around uh a major Gaza
Hospital can you tell us more about
that yeah I mean more than 300 bodies
according to an official from the Hamas
Le government in Gaza uh they’ve been
exhuming bodies since the weekend we’ve
seen the images it’s it’s pretty hard to
watch I think it is just a reminder of
the horrific nature of the war this
human suffering the human casualties
there are many unknowns about those
bodies how they ended up there who
buried them I mean what’s certain is
these are people who died in the war
there’s no dispute about that the
Israeli government is saying that these
are people who died earlier in the war
that they’ve been buried by Palestinian
officials uh the Hamas ran government
says that actually uh the Israelis could
have buried these bodies and they’re
claiming but this can’t be verified at
all and we haven’t seen evidence to back
this up that some of the bodies in the
ground that have been exhumed had their
hands tied the isra military is saying
that they did exume some bodies when
they were in control of that hospital
they had a massive military operation
around it last month uh or or early in
February sorry and you know they’re
saying that they did exume some bodies
because they had intelligence that
suggested that some of some bodies of
hostages could have been in those Mass
Graves uh that turned out not to be the
case I mean just going back to quick if
we could go back to the the situation
with this video that herass has put out
I mean HH Goldberg pin’s family spoke to
me uh last month and I don’t know
whether we’ve got a bit of time just to
bring you a little bit of of
that okay now we can’t bring you we’ll
bring you that later in the evening but
look I mean later in the evening here
but look I mean it is an interesting
situation the video is isn’t out now uh
and and his family are saying they want
the world to see it K Tom Sufi bur I
appreciate you ruling with us sorry
about the technical problems there we
will definitely uh get it right next
time around Tom thank you and for the
first time since Row versus Wade was
overturned back here in the US the
Supreme Court is hearing arguments about
a near total ban on abortion in Idaho
the justices set to decide whether a
federal law governing Emergency Care
protects abortion access if a woman’s
health is at risk these arguments come
after President Biden campaigned in
Florida yesterday just a week before the
state’s six-week abortion ban takes
effect for 50 years the Court ruled that
there was a fundamental constitutional
right of privacy but two years ago that
was taken away let’s be real clear
there’s one person responsible for this
nightmare and he’s acknowledging he
brags about it Donald Trump talking you
could could see
it now senior Washington correspondent
Devon DWI he’s just outside the Supreme
Court for us so Devin what have we uh
heard from both sides so far in court
today dramatic arguments Kira as you
said the first time since they
overturned roow versus Wade uh they took
up this issue of a state abortion ban
and the justices were really fractured
there was no clear consensus or
breakdown along ideological lines the
three liberal justices as you would
imagine were very passionate about
defending this federal law and its
requirement that emergency treatment for
pregnant women who come in in crisis
situations in some cases needs to
include abortion access even in states
where it’s almost entirely banned in
Idaho for example but the six
conservative justices uh Kira were much
more nuanced Neo Gorsuch Clarence Thomas
Samuel Leo very much sympathetic to the
state of Idaho and its ability to
regulate Medical Practice in that state
saying if they choose not to say you
know if the state chooses to say that
abortion is not allowed they ought to be
able to do that but it’s really going to
come down to Chief Justice John Roberts
Amy Coney bar and Brett Kavanaugh who
were very conflicted on the one hand
they seemed concerned about women in
very difficult situations facing
potential harm if they couldn’t get an
abortion in many of these cases before
the fetus is viable but they were also
uh cognizant of the fact that states do
in this country set their own medical
regulations they do licensing
requirements for doctors in hospitals
they decide what sorts of drug regimens
are okay or not okay they wanted to
honor that tradition in this country and
so really this comes down to uh a clash
between the state law in Idaho and 14
other states like it and this federal
law that’s been on the book since 1986
Kira um and it’s a was a tough one today
to read but certainly a very passionate
issue and one that Advocates here
there’s been a big rally outside the
Supreme Court have said has so much on
the line for women Kira yeah and it well
clearly this is the first post row test
there’s a lot at
stake there really is and it you know
the types of cases that we’re talking
about here are a narrow sliver uh but
what we’ve heard from medical
associations the top ones in this
country Hospital associations these are
women who in most cases want to keep
their pregnancies they want to uh have
their their child come to term but it’s
a really a tragic situation that brings
them into an emergency room and most of
the medical consensus right now is that
some of those situations require
abortion federal law protects that uh
but these states here are challenging
this uh line kir and we’ll see if they
can hold that line when the decision
comes out at the end of June okay we’ll
be tracking it with you Devon thank you
you bet so from the Supreme Court to the
State of Arizona lawmakers laying out
their own abortion battle meeting again
today to try and overturn its state
Supreme Court ruling that’s created a
lot of chaos and confusion after
deciding that the near total abortion
ban from the Civil War era will go into
effect our Jacqueline Lee is in Phoenix
so jacqulyn let’s talk about uh what’s
the latest this
hour Kira the house is officially in
session and house Democrats will be
trying for a third time to force a vote
in order to repeal this this abortion
ban now what we’re seeing here play out
is Republicans are trying to keep it
here right I mean we have house Speaker
Ben Tomas that he’s going to do
everything in his power to shut down
this uh possibility of a vote but
Democrats only need two Republicans to
override him now earlier today there was
uh an anti-abortion rally that took
place what they’re trying to do is all
those supporters are trying to put
pressure on those Republicans to not
join Democrats and to keep the law in
place they say there’s no need to repeal
it and they argue that there is no rush
to do so we’ve seen that sentiment uh
you know reflected by Republicans who
say we have no rush uh to try to repeal
this law there’s a lot to go through but
also California governor Gavin Nome is
going to be holding a press conference
in just a few minutes he’s made it clear
that he wants to pass emergency
legislation in California that would
allow Arizona healthc care providers to
uh uh to perform abortions in California
and allow the state to be a safe haven
for arizonans Kira so now Arizona
Republicans are considering moving
forward with efforts to counter the
abortion rights ballot initiative right
so what more do we know about this
effort right so uh abortion rights
Advocates are currently trying to
collect signatures in order to put a
measure on the ballot come November that
would enshrine the right to an abortion
on the Arizona state constitution now
what Republicans are doing is by
introducing three measures or three
resolutions uh today they’re hoping to
put three measures on the ballot come
November what this would do is would
kind of Muddy the waters and give more
options to Arizona voters to in the
Republicans eyes restrict abortion
access Kira all right jacqulyn Le for us
there in Arizona Jacqueline thank you we
are following breaking news for for you
right now it’s all stemming from the
spread of those protests on college
campuses amid the Israeli Hamas War some
of those protests now turning violent so
schools from coast to coast are being
forced to move classes online for safety
reasons Columbia University they’re in
New York still at the center of this
movement as massive protests have drawn
the national Spotlight now it’s drawing
house Speaker Mike Johnson to its campus
to meet with Jewish students and calling
for the University’s president to resign
after a week of tensions there
apparently there is now some progress to
break up the encampment of protesters
that’s where we find our Stephanie Ramos
she’s still right there on the campus of
Columbia University so Stephanie where
do those negotiations stand at this
hour well right now we understand that
University officials and representatives
for those student demonstrators have
agreed to keep talking for the next two
days I don’t know if you can hear but
there is a small group of pro
Palestinian protesters that are yelling
enchanting outside of the Columbia
University Gates here but that’s all
we’re seeing right now still on the
campus on that West laon which is
basically at the center of Campus there
are still tents but we understand that
uh from University officials that there
has been significant progress uh in
those conversations and students have
committed to dismantling and removing
some of those tents from the west lawn
uh we also understand that some of those
conditions that were discussed last
night between University officials and
some of those student demonstrators was
to ensure that those who are on campus
and are demonstr demonstrating and are
pitching tents should be affiliated with
the school here is uh we want to let you
listen to an interview that we did with
a student demonstrator here are her
thoughts on what it means for Columbia
University to be at the center of this
solidarity
movement I think it’s incredibly
inspiring I even saw in in Australia
that they were they were doing something
similar I think it’s a testament to the
fact that students across the country
can no longer stand by as our money is
funding genocide um and we will do we
will take sacrifices and do whatever it
takes to make sure that our forces are
heard and that student and others that
were with her say they are not packing
up to leave they want to see change and
they as you heard she wants her voice
heard and she’s not budging like many of
the student demonstrators that are
camped out on the campus K and Stephanie
now house Speaker Mike Johnson headed to
where you are what exactly does he want
to achieve there on
campus well we understand that house
Speaker Mike Johnson will speak with
Jewish students here about the current
situation not only on this college
campus but also campuses across the
country we understand that he will hold
a press conference and make remarks
about uh the anti anti-semitic uh
incidents that have occurred across the
country so we will be there for that and
we’ll bring you the latest uh when it
happens all right let us know Stephanie
we’ll come right back to you appreciate
it coming up $400,000 a year with no
college degree want to apply stick

live bonuses stock grants a sixf figure
salary Walmart says you too can become a
manager and earn up to $400,000 a year
and get this no college degree necessary
our business correspondent Alexis
christopherus has all the details
because she sat down with the president
and CEO of Walmart us for an exclusive
interview so Alexis let’s talk about
what’s behind the push well Kira today
for the first time ever Walmart held its
opportunity Summit that’s what it’s
calling it here in DC they invited over
a dozen large corporations Home Depot
McDonald’s PepsiCo Verizon Executives
from all those companies coming together
to find ways to offer six figure
salaries to people who don’t necessarily
have a college degree instead they’re
focusing on skills that they see say are
sometimes even more important than those
college degrees to help give more access
to folks uh with these high-paying jobs
and here’s just a snippet of our
conversation why did Walmart decide to
remove college degree requirements from
some of these higher paid corporate jobs
you know I look at this a couple ways
there are so many different ways that
people will find their own path to
success you now for some of us means
college for some of us it means skills
and the skills there are a number of
ways that we want to help people attain
the skills to be really successful at
their job at Walmart and we have a lot
of programs where we want to make sure
people have the skills they need to be
successful recognizing that that while
college is great for some it’s not
exactly the right answer for
everyone and actually Kira John ferner
is a good example of someone who who
really rose up the ranks what they’re
trying to do is give people a career
path within Walmart and other companies
like McDonald’s and Home Depot back in
1993 John ferer was stacking shelves at
his local Walmart store now he’s CEO of
their us operations it’s incredible do
you think what he’s doing could actually
have a a domino effect and we see a
number of other corporations taking this
on I’m also curious what he had to say
about inflation you and I have been
talking about that uh every single week
and and talking about high price high
prices impacting everyone who shops at
Walmart and Beyond exactly we definitely
talked about inflation and its impact on
the Walmart Shopper and he actually had
some good news there he said he’s
optimistic that’s his word that
inflation particularly food inflation
will continue to move lower throughout
the year he said for the first time in a
couple of years Walmart was able to keep
prices steady on thousands of products
uh from last year to this year and in
some cases even rolled back or reduced
prices uh he gave an example they have
two liter sodas some some of them going
for a buck uh and French bread going for
a dollar he said they haven’t been able
to do that in a while so overall he says
more work needs to be done but he’s
optimistic that prices will move in the
right direction Kira all right we’ll see
you Alexis Christoper it’s great to have
you here in DC with us well coming up if
it’s not Walmart we may have some other
enticing jobs for you what a new FTC ban

source right now on ABC News live 95
billion a big win for President Biden
and a huge weapons package for Ukraine
that massive foreign an aid bill is now
law and we will break it down for you
for the first time since Row versus Wade
was overturned the US Supreme Court
takes on a near total ban on access to
abortion in Idaho what’s at stake as the
court hears arguments this hour and only
on ABC News the CEO of Walmart on the
fight against inflation and the state of
the economy our Alexis christopherus is
here with her exclusive interview this
hour good afternoon everyone I’m Kira
Phillips our top story this hour the
eight-month standoff is over Congress
celebrating a major bipartisan Victory
today with President Biden signing that
$95 billion foreign aid package with the
bill now becoming law our leaders have
finally come to an agreement on money
for Ukraine Israel and Taiwan but it
also gets Congress one step closer to
Banning Tick Tock President Biden
praised the long awaited signing at the
White
House it’s a good day for America it’s a
good day for Europe and it’s a good day
for world peace for real this is
consequential I just signed in the law
the National Security package that was
passed by the House of Representatives
this weekend and by the Senate yesterday
it’s going to make America safer it’s
going to make the world safer and it
continues America’s leadership in the
world and everyone knows
it it’s speak inter see your White House
correspondent Selena Wang so Selena
let’s just break down the bill uh and
what we know this hour yeah Carol well
this is a huge win for President Biden
and remember this has been about half a
year in the making President Biden had
asked for this Aid package literally
half a year ago and finally after all of
this political maneuvering finally
getting here across the finish line so
this is a 95 billion Aid package for
Ukraine Israel and Taiwan more than half
of it 60 billion is for Ukraine $26
billion is for Israel and then 8 billion
is for Taiwan and indopacific allies now
the president he’s been facing criticism
from the more Progressive wing of his
party for this conditional Aid to Israel
but the president making clear in his
remarks today that some of this Aid is
also humanitarian aid for Gaza and he
made very clear in his remarks today
that Israel must immediately without
delay get that surge of humanitarian Aid
to the Palestinian people in
Gaza so Tik Tok is running out of time
clearly what options does the parent
company bite dance have now yeah this
has been such a long Saga years of
scrutiny from lawmakers over Tik Tok and
now fight
actually written in this bill is that
Tik Tok could face a ban within a year
if its Chinese parent company bite dance
does not find a buyer but look this is
going to be such a complicated and drawn
out process Kira because Tik Tok is
going to fight this in the court saying
that it violates the First Amendment
your right to free speech and the
Chinese government could intervene here
they could also block a sale on top of
that care it’s not easy to find a buyer
who can afford Tik Tok we’re talking
about tens of billions of dollars here
if not more some sources tell me that
Tik Tok may actually try to go public
instead but even if we do get to the
point where Tik Tok would have to be
banned it’s not just going to disappear
from everyone’s phones instead it would
be banned in the app store which means
new users would not be able to join an
existing users would not be able to
download
updates all right well as we know this
bill has cleared the way for the
Pentagon now to send uh one billion
dollars in military aid to Ukraine with
shipments actually to begin in the next
few hours
what more can you tell us yeah Kira well
this is immediate the president said
that they’re working on this right away
as you say the shipments within hours
this is going to include air defense
Munitions artillery rocket systems and
armored vehicles this is really a
Lifeline for Ukraine they’ve been
running out of ammunition so this will
help resupply their defenses and could
help slow Russian advances the big
question is whether or not in this
trunch is going to include those long
range attack and missiles this is
something that Ukraine has beening
asking for we don’t have confirmation
about that yet but remember the Biden
Administration they have been warning
for months about just how dire the
situation is in Ukraine and some of
those classified intelligence briefing
painting a picture of that situation is
partly what caused house Speaker Mike
Johnson to change his stance on Ukraine
and remember the CIA director had
recently said that Ukraine could lose
the war by the end of the year if the US
did not continue its support so this is
a big
deal all right Selena wayang there at
the White House Forest thank you
Selena so as Selena just mentioned that
foreign a package also includes $26
billion in aid for Israel as its war
with Hamas continues to r on the
terrorist organization releasing this
new video today of HS Goldberg Poland an
American hostage that was held in Gaza
for nor more than 200 days now it was
captured during the music festival back
on October 7th though we can only show a
still of the video you can still see
that the man’s left arm has been
amputated there at the forearm we know
this from his parents as well that he
suffered a serious injury to that arm
just before being captured you may
remember our David Mir actually
interviewed his parents in Israel the
week the war
started and there were two messages in a
row at 811 the first one said I love you
and the second one said I’m sorry
so I immediately knew something terrible
had
happened ABC News Now confirming 133
hostages are still being held in Gaza 36
of whom have officially been declared
dead it’s according to the Israeli uh
prime minister our foreign correspondent
Tom Sufi burd in Jerusalem with more
let’s talk more um about Goldberg
Poland’s mother speaking just outside of
the White House it was just a few weeks
ago Tom right when vice president kamla
Harris met with the hostage families but
it’s still unclear when this video that
we just saw was actually taken what have
you learned about the release of this
today yeah K look the first thing we
learn is that HH gold HH Goldberg
pulling appears to be alive and and
that’s great news for his family I mean
I met them last month I mean this is a
Hamas propaganda video that has to be
underlined uh he’s speaking under Jess
we’ve watched the video through
ourselves of course uh he comes out with
many statements which appear to have
been uh put into his mouth by Hamas uh
very critical of the Israeli government
but what’s interesting is the overall
thrust is saying look I need to get out
of here he talks about the conditions
being absolutely dire uh in the darkness
uh the sort of yeah the conditions he’s
being held by Hamas he says are pretty
awful but this the hostages family’s
forum and they’re speaking on on behalf
of uh John and Rachel hsh’s parents I
mean hsh is from California born in
California 24 years old juwel Israeli
American n nationality so his his
parents on be the Forum on behalf of his
parents are basically saying that they
would like the video to be shown now at
the moment ABC news we’re deciding not
to show the the video we’re just showing
captions of it with we’re taking our
time to think through the ethics of this
it’s not a simple decision people should
realize that in these kind of
journalistic moments but look this this
is a very very significant video and it
comes at a time where really the
negotiation process uh to get the
hostages out to get a ceasefire is
really really at a low E and the Israeli
government is preparing to try and move
people out of Rafer in the south of Gaza
in anticipation of a ground operation
into that southern city where it’s
possible and I’m speculating here that
many of the hostages are held because
that’s where um the Israeli government
and the Israeli military believe Hamas
still has thousand thousand of Fighters
K so all of this is unfolding uh as we
have now learned that hundreds have
bodies have been discovered in Mass
Graves Tom around uh a major Gaza
Hospital can you tell us more about
that yeah I mean more than 300 bodies
according to an official from the Hamas
Le government in Gaza they’ve been
exhuming bodies since the weekend we’ve
seen the images it’s it’s pretty hard to
watch I think it is just a reminder of
the horrific nature of the war this
human suffering the human casualties
there are many unknowns about those
bodies how they ended up there who
buried them I mean what’s certain is
these are people who died in the war
there’s no dispute about that the
Israeli government is saying that these
are people who died earlier in the war
that they’ve been buried by Palestinian
officials the Hamas ran government says
that actually uh the Israelis could have
buried these bodies and they’re claiming
but this can’t be verified at all and we
haven’t seen evidence to back this up
that some of the bodies in the ground
that have been exhumed had their hands
tied the Israeli military is saying that
they did exume some bodies when they
were in control of that hospital they
had a massive military operation around
it last month uh or or early in February
sorry and you know they’re saying that
they did exume some bodies because they
had intelligence that suggested that
some of some bodies of hostages could
have been in those Mass Graves uh that
turned out not to be the case it is an
interesting situation the video is is
out now uh and and his family are saying
they want the world to see it care Tom
thank you and for the first time since
Row versus Wade was overturned back here
in the US the Supreme Court is hearing
arguments about a near total ban on
abortion in Idaho the justices set to
decide whether a federal law governing
Emergency Care protects abortion access
if a woman’s health is at risk these
arguments come after President Biden
campaigned in Florida yesterday just a
week before the state 6 we abortion ban
takes
effect for 50 years the Court ruled that
there was a fundamental constitutional
right of
privacy but two years ago that was taken
away let’s be real clear there’s one
person responsible for this nightmare
and he’s acknowledging he brags about it
Donald Trump talking you could see
it now senior Washington correspondent
Deon dwire he’s just outside the Supreme
Court for us so Devon what have we heard
from both sides so far in court today
dramatic arguments cira as you said the
first time since they overturned Row
versus Wade uh they took up this issue
of a state abortion ban and the justices
were really fractured there was no clear
consensus or breakdown along ideological
lines the three liberal justices as you
would imagine we’re very passionate
about defending this federal law and its
requirement that emergency treatment for
pregnant women who come in and crisis
situations in some cases needs to
include abortion access even in states
where it’s almost entirely banned in
Idaho for example but the six
conservative justices uh Kira were much
more nuanced Neo gorich Clarence Thomas
Samuel Leo very much sympathetic to the
state of Idaho and its ability to
regulate Medical Practice in that state
saying if they choose not to say you
know if they if the state chooses to say
that abortion is not allowed they ought
to be able to do that but it’s really
going to come down to Chief Justice John
Roberts Amy Cony Barrett and Brett
Kavanaugh who were very conflicted on
the one hand they seemed concerned about
women in very difficult situations
facing potential harm if they couldn’t
get an abortion and many of these cases
before the fetus is viable but they were
also uh cognizant of the fact that
states do in this country set their own
medical regulations they do licensing
requirements for doctors and hospitals
they decide what sorts of drug regimens
are okay or not okay they wanted to
honor that tradition in this country and
so really this comes down to uh a clash
between the state law in Idaho and 14
other states like it and this federal
law that’s been on the book since 1986
Kira um and it’s a was a tough one today
to read but certainly a very passionate
issue and one that Advocates here
there’s been a big rally outside the
Supreme Court have said has so much on
the line for women Kira yeah and well
clearly this is the first post row test
there’s a lot at
stake there really is and it you know
the types of cases that we’re talking
about here are a narrow sliver uh but
what we’ve heard from medical
associations the top ones in this
country Hospital associations these are
women who in most cases want to keep
their pregnancies they want to uh have
their their child come to term but it’s
a really a tragic situation that brings
them into an emergency room and most of
the medical consensus right now is that
some of those situations require
abortion federal law protects that uh
but these states here are challenging
this uh line kir and we’ll see if they
can hold that line when the decision
comes out at the end of June okay we’ll
be tracking it with you Deon thank you
you so from the Supreme Court to the
State of Arizona lawmakers laying out
their own abortion battle meeting again
today to try and overturn its state
Supreme Court ruling that’s created a
lot of chaos and confusion after
deciding that the near total abortion
ban from the Civil War era will go into
effect our Jaclyn Lee is in Phoenix so
Jaclyn let’s talk about uh what’s the
latest this
hour Kira the house is officially in
session and house Democrats will be
trying for a third time to force a vote
in order to repeal this this abortion
ban now what we’re seeing here play out
is Republicans are trying to keep it
here right I mean we have house Speaker
Ben Tomas say he’s going to do
everything in his power to shut down
this uh possibility of a vote but
Democrats only need two Republicans to
override him now earlier today there was
uh an anti-abortion rally that took
place what they’re trying to do is all
those supporters are trying to put
pressure on those Republicans to not
join Democrats and to keep the law in
place they say there is no need to
repeal it and they argue that there is
no rush to do so we’ve seen that
sentiment uh you know reflected by
Republicans who say we have no rush uh
to try to repeal this law there’s a lot
to go through but also California
governor Gavin newsam is going to be
holding a press conference in just a few
minutes he’s made it clear that he wants
to pass emergency legislation in
California that would allow Arizona
Health Care Providers to uh uh to
perform abortions in California and
allow the state to be a safe haven for
arizonans Kira so now Arizona
Republicans are considering moving
forward with efforts to counter the
abortion rights ballot initiative right
so what more do we know about this
effort right so uh abortion rights
Advocates are currently trying to
collect signatures in order to put a
measure on the ballot come November that
would enshrine the right to an abortion
on the Arizona state constitution now
what Republicans are doing is by
introducing three measur me or three
resolutions today they’re hoping to put
three measures on the ballot come
November what this would do is would
kind of Muddy the waters and give more
options to Arizona voters to in the
Republicans eyes restrict abortion
access Kira all right Jack and leave for
us there in Arizona Jacqueline thank you
we are following breaking news for you
right now it’s all stemming from the
spread of those protests on college
campuses amid the Israeli Hamas War some
of those protests now turning violent so
schools from coast to Co are being
forced to move classes online for safety
reasons Columbia University there in New
York still at the center of this
movement as massive protests have drawn
the national Spotlight now it’s drawing
house Speaker Mike Johnson to its campus
to meet with Jewish students and calling
for the University’s President to resign
after a week of tensions there
apparently there is now some progress to
break up the encampment of protesters
that’s where we find our Stephanie Ramos
she’s still right there on the campus of
Columbia University so Stephanie where
do those negotiations stand at this
hour well right now we understand that
University officials and representatives
for those student demonstrators have
agreed to keep talking for the next two
days I don’t know if you can hear but
there is a small group of pro
Palestinian protesters that are yelling
and chanting outside of the Columbia
University Gates here but that’s all
we’re seeing right now still on the
campus on that West Lawn which is
basically at the center of Campus there
are still 10
but we understand that uh from
University officials that there has been
significant progress uh in those
conversations and students have
committed to dismantling and removing
some of those tents from the west lawn
uh we also understand that some of those
conditions that were discussed last
night between University officials and
some of those student demonstrators was
to ensure that those who are on campus
and are demonstrated demonstrating and
our pitching tents should be affiliated
with the school here is uh we want to
let you listen to an interview that we
did with a student demonstrator here are
her thoughts on what it means for
Columbia University to be at the center
of this solidarity
movement I think it’s incredibly
inspiring I even saw in in Australia
that they were they were doing something
similar I think it’s a testament to the
fact that students across the country
can no longer stand by as our money is
funding genocide um and we will do we
will take sacrifices and do whatever it
takes to make sure that our voices are
heard
and that student and others that were
with her say they are not packing up to
leave they want to see change and they
as you heard she wants her voice heard
and she’s not budging like many of the
student demonstrators that are camped
out on the campus Kira and Stephanie now
house Speaker Mike Johnson headed to
where you are what exactly does he want
to achieve there on
campus well we understand that house
Speaker Mike Johnson will speak with
Jewish students here about the current
situation now not only on this college
campus but also campuses across the
country we understand that he will hold
a press conference and make remarks
about uh the anti anti-semitic uh
incidents that have occurred across the
country so we will be there for that and
we’ll bring you the latest uh when it
happens all right let us know Stephanie
we’ll come right back to you appreciate
it coming up $400,000 a year with no
college degree want to apply stick
around

bonuses stock grants a sixf figure
salary Walmart says you too can sure and
earn up to $400,000 a year and get this
no college degree necessary our business
correspondent Alexis christopherus has
all the details because she sat down
with the president and CEO of Walmart us
for an exclusive interview so Alexis
let’s talk about what’s behind the push
well Kira today for the first time ever
Walmart held its opportunity Summit
that’s what it’s calling it here in DC
they invited over a dozen large
corporations Home Depot mcdonals PepsiCo
Verizon Executives from all those
companies coming together to find ways
to offer sixf figure salaries to people
who don’t necessarily have a college
degree instead they’re focusing on
skills that they see say are sometimes
even more important than those college
degrees to help give more access to
folks uh with these high-paying jobs and
here’s just a snippet of our
conversation why did Walmart decide to
remove college degree requirements from
some of these higher paid corporate jobs
you know I look at this a couple ways
there are so many different ways that
people will find their own path to
success you know for some of us that
means college for some of us it means
skills and the skills there are a number
of ways that we want to help people
attain the skills to be really
successful at their job at Walmart and
we have a lot of programs where we want
to make sure people have the skills they
need to be success successful
recognizing that that while college is
great for some it’s not exactly the
right answer for
everyone and actually Kira John ferner
is a good example of someone who who
really rose up the ranks what they’re
trying to do is give people a career
path within Walmart and other companies
like McDonald’s and Home Depot back in
1993 John ferner was stacking shelves at
his local Walmart store now he’s CEO of
their us operations it’s incredible do
you think think what he’s doing could
actually have a a domino effect and we
see a number of other corporations
taking this on I’m also curious what he
had to say about inflation you and I
have been talking about that uh every
single week and and talking about high
price high prices impacting everyone who
shops at Walmart and Beyond exactly we
definitely talked about inflation and
its impact on the Walmart Shopper and he
actually had some good news there he
said he’s optimistic that’s his word
that inflation particularly food
inflation will continue to move lower
throughout the year he said for the
first time in a couple of years Walmart
was able to keep prices steady on
thousands of products uh from last year
to this year and in some cases even
rolled back or reduced prices uh he gave
an example they have two liter sodas
some some of them going for a buck uh
and French bread going for a dollar he
said they haven’t been able to do that
in a while so overall he says more work
needs to be done but he’s optimistic
that prices will move in the right
direction Kira all right we’ll see

right now on ABC News live $95 billion a
big win for President Biden and a huge
weapons package for Ukraine that massive
foreign aid bill now law will break it
down Hamas releasing new video of an
American hostage inside Gaza we have the
latest from Jerusalem for the first time
since roow versus Wade was overturned
the US Supreme Court takes on that near
total ban on abortion in Idaho what’s at
stake as the court hears arguments this
hour good afternoon everyone I’m Kira
Phillips our top story The 8mon standoff
is over Congress celebrating a major
bipartisan Victory with President Biden
signing the $95 billion foreign aid
package our lawmaker is finally coming
to an agreement on money for Ukraine
Israel and Taiwan but it also gets
Congress one step closer to Banning Tik
Tock our ABC News contributor Asma
Khaled along with National Security and
defense analyst Mick mroy joining us
right now let’s start with you Osa let’s
just break down the specifics here
within this foreign aid bill
and what it’s going to mean for Tik Tok
yeah um well let’s start with Tik Tok
because I do think that’s something that
both the Biden campaign and a lot of
Americans are are looking at and what it
spells out is essentially divesture uh
Tik tok’s parent company would either
have to sell off Tik Tock uh the the
Biden Administration does not want to
see and number of lawmakers see Tik Tok
owned by its Chinese parent company
known as bite dance and so they’ve given
them a one-year deadline um I think what
is also worth keeping in mind though is
that a lot of young voters a lot of
Americans do use Tik Tok it’s a very
popular social media app online and so
what I was told today by the Biden
campaign is that they intend to continue
using the app uh they find it a valuable
way to reach young voters in a very
fragmented Universe uh that being said
also it does remain legal as of now to
continue using the app all right well
Mick let’s talk about what this means
for Ukraine and Israel on the
battlefield and how quickly you think it
can make a
difference so K I think this is the big
win for the Free World and our
leadership role in it and specifically
as you ask Ukraine and Israel Ukraine
was literally on the verge of starting
to lose the war and it could have been
lost by the end of the year this is
going to turn around uh not only you
know actual Hardware uh getting to the
battlefield uh Hardware they need like
long range uh artillery for example the
attack thems but also just basic
artillery they were about 10 to one
deficit when it came to Russia so this
is going to have a very real practical
impact it’s also going to have a very
real uh philosophical if you will
emotional impact because the ukrainians
that were fighting to the last man now
realize that the US is fully behind him
when it comes to Israel it’s important
to note that it’s it’s just broken down
into Parts it’s not just uh Israel
Defense uh procurement and uh it’s also
significant aid for Gaza uh up to 9
billion uh between uh Gaza and Ukraine
and one billion immediately in
humanitarian assistance uh to Gaza
should be available so also a big uh
support to Israel but also to uh the
people in Gaza who desperately need this
Aid hopefully this will translate into
Aid getting to where it needs to be all
right so you talk about how big this is
uh for Ukraine osma it’s also pretty big
win for President Biden that’s right um
this is something that the president had
been advocating for for many months um
he ran he campaigned as being a man who
would essentially
continue to be a leader of the Free
World and really he says Elevate the
United States standing in the world and
so I want to Echo there what we just
heard which is that this is really a
philosophical win um for a number of
years you had Republican and Democratic
lawmakers agree that the United States
should be a leader in supporting the
broader free world and and this was
becoming quite contentious with the
contingent of Republican lawmakers and I
should also say with a contingent of
Republican voters I just got back from a
reporting trip out in Pennsylvania and
you know to my surprise I think three or
four different Republican voters brought
up this issue of War funding it is not
particularly popular amongst a
contingent of Republican base voters uh
the president his team had long insisted
that he is a dealmaker he is someone who
knows Congress well and can cut deals
and negotiate and and ultimately look
you had a partner here and speaker Mike
Johnson and he ultimately was able to
get this through and I think that a lot
of folks outside of Washington will say
nothing seems to work in Washington but
this is an example of bipartisan legis
actually getting through all right a
mick appreciate you both thank you and
as we just mentioned that 48 package
also includes 26 billion dollar in aid
for Israel as its war with Hamas rages
on the terrorist organization now
releasing this new video today of HS
goldig Poland an American hostage held
in Gaza for more than 200 days now he
was captured during the music festival
back on October 7th though we can only
show a still of this video you can
actually see hs’s left arm has been
amputated at the forearm we know from
his parents that he did suffer a serious
injury to that arm before being captured
and you may remember our David Mir
interviewed his parents in Israel the
week the war started take a
listen and there were two messages in a
row at 811 the first one said I love you
and the second one said I’m
sorry so I immediately knew something
terrible had happened
ABC News Now confirming 133 hostages are
still being held in Gaza 36 of those
hostages have been declared dead our
foreign correspondent Tom Sufi Burge is
in Jerusalem with more
now hey Cara yeah this video is a Hamas
propaganda video that’s for sure and it
shows HH Goldberg Pullin we 24y old uh
born in California American Israeli jeel
National one of the hostages remaining
in Hamas captivity it suggests from what
he says that it was shot fairly recently
this video that’s significant so it
seems to be a sign of Life video he says
that the war in Gaza is nearly 200 days
old and and we passed the 200 day Mark
that Grim Mark yesterday he talks about
the conditions where he’s being held of
being pretty bad a lot of the language
he seems to be using seems to be have
been fed to him by Hamas he’s very very
critical of the Israeli government but
his overall message is that uh there
needs to be a deal that he needs to be
brought out and look we’ve heard from
the hostages families Forum here in
Israel and they are talking on behalf of
hsh’s parents Rachel and John who I
interviewed last month and and that
message from the parents is that they
would like the video to be shown of uh
hsh Goldberg ping in captivity at the
moment we’re not showing that full video
uh but we’re going to show stills of it
but that is a decision we’re looking at
at the moment it’s a complicated
decision let’s bring you a little bit of
my interview last month with his parent
her’s parents Rachel and John I don’t
even know the words I don’t even know if
there are enough words in every language
um to explain what it would be for when
we get him back
um I guess if I had to
uh just call it down to one word I would
be gracious filled with gratitude so
that’s Rachel hersh’s mom speaking to me
last month look the situation in terms
of the negotiations for a deal to get
the hostages out uh for a ceas fire in
Gaza doesn’t look great I mean it hasn’t
looked good for a number of weeks now
and the Israeli military are preparing
to try and move hundreds of thousands of
civilians out of rafra in southern Gaza
in anticipation of their planned ground
operation into that City the US has
warned the Israeli government against
doing that it’s very possible that some
of the hostage are being held in
southern Gaza the Israeli government
believes the Hamas remaining Hamas
militants or at least a large part of
their capabilities remains in Rafa
that’s why they say they have to go in
and in their language finish the job but
it’s interesting the timing of this
video coming out now from Hamas again
it’s a Hamas propaganda video but the
family of HS Goldberg pulin this
American Israeli citizen held by Hamas
saying that the video should be shown
Kira all right Tom Sufi Burge thank you
so much a divided Supreme court now
considering an abortion access case from
Idaho that will reverberate from coast
to coast at issue does a federal law
mandating emergency care for those in
need mean hospitals must provide
abortion access if a woman’s health is
at risk well the justices heard both
sides of the case today only giving
small hints of which side they stand
these arguments come a day after
President Biden campaigned in Florida
yesterday just a week before the state’s
6-week abortion ban takes
effect for 50 years years the Court
ruled that there was a fundamental
constitutional right of
privacy but two years ago that was taken
away let’s be real clear there’s one
person responsible for this nightmare
and he’s acknowledge and he brags about
it Donald
Trump joining us now our senior
Washington correspondent Deon DWI who’s
outside the Supreme Court has been
following this since early this morning
so Devon the justices appear not to
break along ideological lines today so
what happened during arguments it really
fractured supreme court today Kira over
this very difficult issue of abortion
the first time they’re taking it up
since overturning Row versus Wade the
question on the table is in 14 states
where abortion is banned virtually
entirely with the only exception being
for the life of the pregnant woman uh
must they also expand that to allow
abortion access when the health of the
pregnant woman is at risk that was the
topic on the table today the Court’s
liberal justices vigorously argued that
Federal Law requires all states that
receive medicare funds at their
hospitals allow access to abortion in
emergency situations when women’s health
is at risk say situations where a woman
might experience sepsis or could lose
her reproductive uh organs if she didn’t
receive an abortion the state of Idaho
and a number of other states today Kira
pushed back on that and said that states
must be able to uh set their own medic
regulations about what types of
treatments and drugs are allowed inside
those States and in the state of Idaho
they say that abortion should be
severely limited because that’s what the
state wants and they contended Kira that
women can still get Emergency Care in
fact in some cases they’re airlifted out
of the state so this was a very
passionate debate no clear consensus by
the court but certainly three justices
are the ones to watch Amy Cony Barrett
uh Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice
John Roberts kir were the ones who
Express sympathy for both sides and are
really grappling with how to thread this
needle give States the ability to set
policy but also protect women in very
vulnerable
situations well if the justices do side
with Idaho’s ban what precedent do you
think this will set for other state laws
well it’ll mean in situations uh that so
many women uh face when it comes to a
crisis in their pregnancy that states
could in fact limit the ability to
provide an abortion and we’ve seen the
number of stories already headlines from
around the country places where women
have been turned away they’ve been told
to go home until they are near death
before they can get an abortion or told
to leave a state uh to get an abortion
when it’s medically required and a
pregnancy they wish to keep uh and so
those types of situations could
potentially become more prolific uh but
the states are pushing back on those
doomsday scenarios Kira they insist that
women can still get Emergency Care uh
it’s just not uh abortion on demand as
it is they say in some other states so a
lot on the line for women but also for
states that are trying to set their own
policies Kira all right Deon DWI at the
Supreme Court for us Deon thank you and
from the Supreme Court to the State of
Arizona lawmakers laying out their own
abortion battle meeting again today to
try and overturn its state Supreme Court
ruling that create a lot of chaos and
confusion after deciding that near total
abortion ban from the Civil War era will
go into effect our Jaclyn Lee is in
Phoenix for us Jack in the Arizona House
and Senate officially convening what’s
the latest
yes that’s right K so the house and the
Senate they’re both in session currently
at the house they are discussing other
matters they have not brought up the
issue of abortion just yet uh but
Democrats are trying to repeal this law
for the third time they only need two
Republicans to join them and an aid
tells ABC news they do believe that they
will be able to get that to happen today
we also know that House Republicans did
meet in a rules committee meeting
earlier this morning and they are able
to introduce three late resolutions that
would allow them to bring abortion onto
the ballot they plan on introducing
three measures to hopefully give voters
more opportunities because on the flip
side of that uh abortion Advocates uh
they are going to be introd they’re
hoping to introduce their own bill uh or
their own measure come November that
would enshrine the right to an abortion
on the state constitution uh in terms of
the Senate they are currently in caucus
they will have a second reading of the
bill so if you remember last week when
the house failed to introduce this bill
the Senate uh the Senate Democrat then
introduced their own identical version
of the bill in order to repeal this 1864
law the Senate has to have three total
readings so today we’ll have the second
reading the earliest they can vote on
that is next week cira all right now
Arizona Republicans are considering
moving forward with efforts to counter
the abortion rights ballot initiative
what more do we know about this
effort so basically come November
Arizona voters will be be able to speak
on this right so right now we’re seeing
lawmakers tussle over this so if the
lawmakers are successful in repealing
the bill which we are expecting to
happen given that Republicans are
introducing these measures to add to the
ballot come November uh basically what
this will allow voters to do is by
having a multitude of measures to vote
on abortion Republicans are trying to
reduce the access the amount of access
to abortion they’re trying to muddy the
waters so to speak uh while we’re also
seeing abortion Advocates want to put
their own measure on the ballot that
would permanently enshrine the right to
an abortion in the state constitution
Kira all right jacn Lee in Arizona for
us jacine thanks so much and we have
breaking news for you right now
involving those protests on college
campuses amid the Israeli Hamas War the
protests some of which have turned into
encampments have now led to the arrest
of hundreds of students Nationwide many
schools now being forced to move classes
online for safety reasons Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also
weighing in on this saying that more
needs to be done on American campuses to
combat anti-Semitism Columbia University
there in New York remaining the center
of this movement as students are urging
the university to actually cut Financial
ties to Israel as well the University’s
president extending a deadline for
another 48 Hours That mandates students
reach an agreement and clear those
encampments meanwhile house Speaker Mike
Johnson also on the campus of Columbia
University today meeting with Jewish
students and calling for the
University’s president to actually
resign and as he’s growing protests and
and the violence associated with them
spread across colleges and universities
they’ve ignited a national conversation
on religion human rights and just trying
to understand overall every side to this
story and that’s what brings us to the
Holocaust genocide and Interfaith
education center at Manhattan College
because its mission is to promote
education discussion and collaboration
among people of Jewish Catholic and
Muslim faith to ultimately help
eradicate human suffering and Prejudice
and racism I’m happy that the center’s
director manaz AFI agreed to join me
today manaz you offer such a unique
perspective in your position you’re a
Muslim woman working in a Jewish Center
I’m curious what you think of these
protests and do you think it comes down
to a lack of leadership on these
campuses because we’ve heard the calls
now for presidents to
resign look for me it’s very simple um
campus is about freedom of speech but
it’s not about freedom of hate I’m a
Muslim woman that works very hard and
seriously on anti-Semitism um I think
anti-Semitism has been a problem for uh
centuries and right around the corner is
islamophobia I think that the leadership
on these
campuses should be there talking to
these students talking to you know
ceasefire students and also uh students
who are standing with Israel and trying
to figure out how can we have dialogue
Civic discourse is what we need we don’t
need to call each other out we don’t
need to uh call out for the extension of
the other and I want to say something
that and it’s not about
anti-israel or anti- Palestine it’s it
should be about pro peace what are the
solutions how can we make this a
discussion and how can we use what we
have in this country as our beautiful
First Amendment freedom of speech and
discussion the place where we can be
critical on campuses how can we use our
religious freedom and value that in this
country I’ve lived in many places in my
life visited many places in my life and
we have undervalued religious freedom we
are a Catholic institution I’m a Muslim
woman I teach the Holocaust where in the
world would you have a mix like that and
it’s a fantastic story for Americans to
think about and to think about Jewish
Muslim relations the solidarity we have
built in only in America uh I’m in many
advisory boards and councils where we
have done work advocacy work together so
I think it’s leadership is a problem
they don’t have long-term relationships
each other on campuses like we do right
and and you know and I want to drill
down on that by the way we’re looking at
live pictures now of yet another protest
this is at the University um is it the
University of Texas is it ut oh it’s
University of Austin okay okay um so or
UT Austin um menaj Let me let me just we
know that hate comes from it comes from
ignorance it comes from lack of
Education it comes from lack of
conversation everything that you’re
saying that we should be having um and
that that’s what I want to talk to you
about you know you talk about your
students are free to express their
solidarity with Palestine and Gaza but
you also make it really clear um that
that your mission is is to educate and
to have conversations and so everybody
understands why they’re even out there
protesting in the first place there are
so many students that that have been
interviewed and when they’re drilled
down on specific questions they don’t
even know how to answer it in particular
we have heard students saying that they
are in support of Hamas and then they’re
asked do you even know what Hamas is and
it’s silence so how do we how if you
were there let’s just say if you were
there on one of those campuses and you
were standing among all these students
tell me what you would say to them even
those saying we support Hamas and they
don’t even understand
why well I would first of all I would
listen to them look deep listening is
really important we’ve had difficult
conversations on our campus with the
Jewish Community Muslim Students and
others at dinners where we’ve talked
about aparti we’ve talked about Hamas
and terrorism we’ve talked about the
term Zionism which I don’t think most
people understand I I teach about
Zionism as a Muslim um I I think that
you know when once you use this rhetoric
um you know there is fear on campuses
because Jews are in the minority and
they have to walk very carefully and
tread very carefully but at the same
time I think there are Jews also in
these
ceasefire uh protests so it’s not just
by it’s not a polarized issue it’s
multiple perspectives going on why some
of these students are part of the
protest and they don’t know is because
they feel righteous they feel like
they’re part of something larger and
that’s a question we need to ask
ourselves as adults as Educators in this
country together why are these young
people
so passionate about the ceasefire aside
from the fact that there is massive
killing going on in Gaza but the
question is that there are so many
issues right now going on um like R
versus wait and um the elections coming
up but why this issue and this is the
important conversation we need to have
about colonization we need to talk about
how we need to be strong together and
listen to our students um I don’t think
the leadership has been very good I mean
I’m at Manhattan College which is a
wonderful small Catholic college that
welcomes Muslims Jews Christians others
uh we do lots of interfaith work these
are things that these Ivy Le should be
doing they should their leadership
should be going down there and and going
prot and saying okay this is what I feel
stop now we want peace let’s do it yeah
imagine if you brought all those
students together in one big arena and
just had a a conversation let everybody
talk be heard and have people like you
answering questions and creating an
intelligent conversation it really would
be quite remarkable manaza Frei so
appreciate your time today coming thank
you so much it’s pleasure thank you yeah
absolutely straight ahead he gags at
every gag order now 11 violations in
Trump’s new legal battle and what comes
[Music]
next it’s Sunday night people think they
really know you what do you think of the
biggest misconception about
you John Bon Joi I don’t live for the
Applause you got to do it over and over
again because you know the pretty
picture is going to fade the all new
event special I’m going start singing by
the way I’m a cowboy thank you Michael
Michael stran John bonjovi I’m a rock
and roll star I’m not a saint I’m John
bonjovi halfway there Sunday night on
ABC why do so many people start their
day here from ABC News this is start
here to be in the know and get a
different take on the day’s top stories
a lot of news today so let’s get into it
listen now to the Daily News podcast
honored with four Edward R murl Awards
and see why the New York Times calls it
a news podcast worth listening to start
here ABC News make it your daily first
listen now that’s a part of the story I
bet you didn’t see coming wherever you
get your podcasts start here first thing
in the morning there’s a lot going on
get another Avalanche warning that’s up
to catch you up with what happened
overnight a dangerous ice storm is
impacting the morning commute what’s
happening today escalating tensions in
the Middle East what people are talking
about the migrant crisis fast
straightforward with some fun in between
how does billionaire sound sounds good
to me the Moose started chasing a dog
first thing in the morning America this
morning America’s number one early
morning news on ABC News
[Music]
live glad you’re streaming with us well
it’s a bit ironic it’s the hush money
trial but it’s anything but quiet it is
in recess today but at any moment we are
expecting a decision from the judge on
Trump’s gag order violations this comes
after the prosecution’s first witness
former National inquir publisher David
pecker admitted while on the stand to
using his tabloid to actually help
Trump’s campaign our legal contributor
and trial attorney Brian buckmire joins
me once again so Brian at what point do
these gag order violations or what now
at 11: actually catch up to the former
president I mean he’s still out there
dissing Witnesses it could be at any
point we could have a ruling today what
we know is uh typically the judge has
their calendar call meaning other cases
are being heard uh Discovery being put
over uh arguments being made and that’s
why we don’t have the trial on Wednesday
and so typically judges work uh on those
days when they have a calendar so during
lunch which probably just ended about
now uh for judge Maran he’s potentially
putting together uh that decision that
he said he would not give from the bench
and so it could catch up for Donald
Trump tonight tomorrow Friday when
whenever the judge has the opportunity
to file that
decision all right so is it at all
protected as political speech because
that’s what Trump’s lawyers keep
claiming well based on the arguments
that we saw yesterday my answer would be
no we saw the judge push back on Mr
blench uh Donald Trump’s attorney and
said okay if we’re talking about this
being political speech and you’re making
the argument that Donald Trump is merely
pushing back on the words of uh Stormy
Daniels Michael Cohen and others show me
what pushing back on show me how this is
political uh Discord between two
individuals at one point Mr Blen said
well uh he was talking about Pardons and
therefore the use of that one word makes
it political but the push back didn’t
work there and when the judge said all
right just show it to me show it to me
that’s when we got that quote that we’re
really working with yesterday that the
credibility of the attorney was kind of
lost in a sense uh because they couldn’t
show the back and forth that Donald
Trump was addressing more that just in
The Ether these statements were out
there there and Donald Trump felt the
need to kind of push back on it I think
he even pushed back on it like 2: a.m.
this morning and so I I don’t see this
as being political speech the defense
hasn’t really given a strong argument to

right now on ABC News live 95 billion a
big win for President Biden and a huge
weapons package for Ukraine that massive
foreign aid bill is now law and we will
break it down for you for the first time
since Row versus Wade was overturned the
US Supreme Court takes on a near total
ban on access to abortion in Idaho
what’s at stake as the court hears
arguments this hour and only on ABC News
the CEO of Walmart on the fight against
inflation and the state of the economy
our Alexis christopherus is here with
her exclusive interview this hour good
afternoon everyone I’m Kira Phillips our
top story this hour the eight-month
standoff is over Congress celebrating a
major bipartisan Victory today with
President Biden signing that $95 billion
foreign aid package with the bill now
becoming law our leaders have finally
come to an agreement on money for
Ukraine Israel and Taiwan but it also
gets Congress one step closer to Banning
tick talk President Biden praised the
long- awaited signing at the White
House it’s a good day for America it’s a
good day for Europe and it’s a good day
for world peace for real this is
consequential I just signed in the law
the National Security package that was
passed by the House of Representatives
this weekend and by the Senate yesterday
it’s going to make America safer it’s
going to make the world safer and it
continues America’s leadership in the
world and everyone knows it
it’s speak inter Senor White House
correspondent Selena Wang so Selena
let’s just break down the bill uh and
what we know this hour yeah Cara well
this is a huge win for President Biden
remember this has been about half a year
in the making President Biden had asked
for this Aid package literally half a
year ago and finally after all of this
political maneuvering finally getting
here across the finish line so this is a
95 billion Aid package for Ukraine
Israel and Taiwan more than half of it
60 billion is for Ukraine 26 billion
doll is for Israel and then 8 billion is
for Taiwan and indopacific allies now
the president he’s been facing criticism
from the more Progressive wing of his
party for this unconditional Aid to
Israel but the president making clear in
his remarks today that some of this Aid
is also humanitarian aid for Gaza and he
made very clear in his remarks today
that Israel must immediately without
delay get that surge of humanitarian Aid
to the Palestinian people in
Gaza so Tik Tock is running out of time
clearly what options does the parent
company bite dance have now yeah this
has been such a long Saga years of
scrutiny from lawmakers over Tik Tok and
now finally actually written in this
bill is that Tik Tok could face a ban
within a year if it’s Chinese parent
company bite dance does not find a buyer
but look this is going to be such a
complicated and drawn out process Kira
because Tik Tok is going to fight this
in the court saying that it violates the
First Amendment your right to free
speech and the Chinese government could
intervene here they could also block a
sale on top of that c it’s not easy to
find a buyer who can afford Tik Tok
we’re talking about tens of billions of
dollars here if not more some sources
tell me that Tik Tok may actually try to
go public instead but even if we do get
to the point where Tik Tok would have to
be banned it’s not just going to
disappear from everyone’s phones instead
it would be banned in the app store
which means new users would not be able
to join and existing users would not be
able to download
updates all right well as we know this
bill has cleared the way for the
Pentagon now to send uh $1 billion doll
in military aid to Ukraine with
shipments actually to begin in the next
few hours what more can you tell us yeah
Kira well this is immediate the
president said that they’re working on
this right away as you say the shipments
within hours this is going to include
air defense Munitions artillery rocket
systems and armored vehicles this is
really a Lifeline for Ukraine they’ve
been running out of ammunition so this
will help resupply their defenses and
could help slow Russian advances the big
question is whether or not in this Tron
it’s going to include those long range
attack and missiles this is something
that Ukraine has been asking for we
don’t have confirmation about that yet
but remember the Biden Administration
they have been warning for months about
just how dire the situation is in
Ukraine and some of those classified
intelligence briefing painting a picture
of that situation is partly what caused
house Speaker Mike Johnson to change his
stance on Ukraine and remember the CIA
director had recently said that Ukraine
could lose the war by the end of the
year if the US did not continue its
support so this is a big
deal all right Selena Wayne there at the
White House Forest thank you
Selena so as Selena just mentioned that
foreign aid package also includes 26
billion do in aid for Israel as its war
with Hamas continues to rage on the
terrorist organization releasing this
new video today of hsh Goldberg Poland
an American hostage that was held in
Gaza for nor more than 200 days now he
was captured during the music festival
back on October 7th though we can only
show a still of the video you can still
see that the man’s left arm has been
amputated there at the forearm we know
this from his parents as well that he
suffered a serious injury to that arm
just before being captured you may
remember David Mir actually interviewed
his parents in Israel the week the war
started and there were two messages in a
row at 811 the first one said I love you
and the second one said I’m
sorry so I immediately knew something
terrible had
happened ABC News Now confirming 133
hostages are still being held in Gaza 36
of whom have officially been declared
dead it’s according to the Israeli uh
prime minister
our foreign correspondent Tom Sufi
burage in Jerusalem with more let’s talk
more um about Goldberg Poland’s mother
speaking just outside of the White House
it was just a few weeks ago Tom right
when vice president kamla Harris met
with the hostage families but it’s still
unclear when this video that we just saw
was actually taken what have you learned
about the release of this
today yeah K the first thing we learn is
that hsh gold hsh Goldberg pulling
appears to be alive and and that’s great
news for his family I mean I met them
last month I mean this is a Hamas
propaganda video that has to be
underlined uh he’s speaking under Jess
we’ve watched the video through
ourselves of course uh he comes out with
many statements which appear to have
been uh put into his mouth by Hamas uh
very critical of the Israeli government
but what’s interesting is the overall
thrust is saying look I need to get out
of here he talks about the conditions
being absolutely dire uh in the darkness
uh the sort of yeah the conditions he’s
being held by Hamas he says are pretty
awful but this the hostages families
forum and they’re speaking on behalf of
uh John and Rachel hsh’s parents I mean
h is from California born in California
24 years old juel Israeli American n
nationality so his his parents on be the
Forum on behalf of his parents are
basically saying that they would like
the video to be shown now at the moment
ABC news we’re deciding not to show the
the video we’re just showing captions of
it we we’re taking our time to think
through the ethics of this it’s not a
simple decision people should realize
that in these kind of journalistic
moments but look this this is a very
very significant video and it comes at a
time where really the negotiation
process uh to get the hostages out to
get a ceasefire is really really at a
low E and the Israeli government is
preparing to try and move people out of
Rafer in the south of Gaza in
anticipation of a ground operation into
that southern city where it’s possible
and I’m speculating here that many of
the hostages are held because that’s
where um the Israeli government and the
Israeli military believe Hamas still has
thousands of Fighters
Kira so all of this is unfolding uh as
we have now learned that hundreds have
bodies have been discovered in Mass
Graves Tom around uh a major Gaza
Hospital can you tell us more about
that yeah I mean more than 300 bodies
according to an official from the Hamas
Le government in Gaza uh they’ve been
exhuming bodies since the weekend we’ve
seen the images it’s it’s pretty hard to
watch I think it is just a reminder of
the horrific nature of the war this
human suffering the human casualties
there are many unknowns about those
bodies how they ended up there who
buried them I mean what’s certain is
these are people who died in the war
there’s no dispute about that the
Israeli government is saying that these
are people who died earlier in the war
that they’ve been buried by Palestinian
officials the Hamas government says that
actually uh the Israelis could have
buried these bodies and they’re claiming
but this can’t be verified at all and we
haven’t seen evidence to back this up
that some of the bodies in the ground
that have been exhumed had their hands
tied the Israeli military is saying that
they did exume some bodies when they
were in control of that hospital they
had a massive military operation around
it last month uh or or early in February
sorry and you know they’re saying that
they did exume some bodies because they
had intelligence that suggested that
some of some bodies of hostages could
have been in those Mass Graves uh that
turned out not to be the case it is an
interesting situation uh the video is is
out now uh and and his family are saying
they want the world to see it K Tom
thank you and for the first time since
roow versus Wade was overturned back
here in the US the Supreme Court is
hearing arguments about a near total ban
on abortion in Idaho the justices set to
decide whether a federal law governing
Emergency Care protects abortion access
if a woman’s health is at risk these
arguments come after President Biden
campaigned in Florida yesterday just a
week before the state’s 6we abortion ban
takes
effect for 50 years the Court ruled that
there was a fundamental constitutional
right of
privacy but two years ago that was taken
away let’s be real clear there’s one
person responsible for this nightmare
and he’s acknowledging he brags about it
Donald Trump talking you could see it
now senior Washington correspondent Deon
DWI he’s just outside the Supreme Court
for us so Devon what have we heard from
both sides so far in court today
dramatic arguments cira as you said the
first time since they overturned roow
versus Wade uh they took up this issue
of a state abortion ban and the justices
were really fractured there was no clear
consensus or breakdown along ideological
lines the three liberal justices as you
would imagine were very passionate about
defending this federal law and its
requirement that emergency treatment for
pregnant women who come in in crisis
situations in some cases needs to
include abortion access even in states
where it’s almost entirely banned in
Idaho for example but the six
conservative justices uh Kira were much
more nuanced Neo Gorsuch Clarence Thomas
Samuel Leo very much sympathetic to the
state of Idaho and its ability to
regulate Medical Practice in that state
saying if they choose not to say you
know if they if the state chooses to say
that abortion is not allowed they ought
to be able to do that but it’s really
going to come down to Chief Justice John
Roberts Amy Coney Barrett and Brett
Kavanaugh who were very conflicted on
the one hand they seemed concerned about
women in very difficult situations
facing potential harm if they couldn’t
get an abortion in many of these cases
before the fetus is viable but they were
also uh cognizant of the fact that
states do in this country set their own
medical regulations they do licensing
requirements for doctors and hospitals
they decide what sorts of drug regimens
are okay or not okay they wanted to
honor that tradition in this country and
so really this comes down to uh a clash
between the state law in Idaho and 14
other states like it and this federal
law that’s been on the book since 1986
Kira um and it’s a was a tough one today
to read but certainly a very passionate
issue and one that Advocates here
there’s been a big rally outside the
Supreme Court have said has so much on
the line for women Kira yeah and well
clearly this is the the first post row
test there’s a lot at
stake there really is and it you know
the types of cases that we’re talking
about here are a narrow sliver uh but
what we’ve heard from medical
associations the top ones in this
country Hospital associations these are
women who in most cases want to keep
their pregnancies they want to uh have
their their child come to term but it’s
a really a tragic situation that brings
them into an emergency room and most of
the medical consensus right now is that
some of those situations require
abortion federal law protects that uh
but these states here are challenging
this uh line here and we’ll see if they
can hold that line when the decision
comes out at the end of June okay we’ll
be tracking it with you Devon thank you
you bet so from the Supreme Court to the
State of Arizona lawmakers laying out
their own abortion battle meeting again
today to try and overturn its state
Supreme Court ruling that’s created a
lot of chaos and confusion after
deciding that the near total abortion
ban from the Civil War era will go into
effect our Jacqueline Lee is in Phoenix
so Jacqueline let’s talk about uh what’s
the latest this
hour Kira the house is officially in
session and house Democrats will be
trying for a third time to force a vote
in order to repeal this this abortion
ban now what we’re seeing here play out
is Republicans are trying to keep it
here right I mean we have house Speaker
Ben Tomas say he’s going to do
everything in his power to shut down
this uh possibility of a vote but
Democrats only need two Republicans to
to override him now earlier today there
was uh an anti-abortion rally that took
place what they’re trying to do is all
those supporters are trying to put
pressure on those Republicans to not
join Democrats and to keep the law in
place they say there is no need to
repeal it and they argue that there is
no rush to do so we’ve seen that
sentiment uh you know reflected by
Republicans who say we have no rush uh
to try to repeal this law there’s a lot
to go through but also California
governor Gavin Nome is going to be
holding a press conference in just a few
minutes he’s made it clear that he wants
to pass emergency legislation in
California that would allow Arizona
healthc care providers to uh uh to
perform abortions in California and
allow the state to be a safe haven for
arizonans Kira so now Arizona
Republicans are considering moving
forward with efforts to counter the
abortion rights ballot initiative right
so what more do we know about this
effort right so uh abortion rights
Advocates are currently trying to
collect signatures in order to put a
measure on the ballot come November that
would enshrine the right to an abortion
on the Arizona state constitution now
what Republicans are doing is by
introducing three measures or three
resolutions uh today they’re hoping to
put three measures on the ballot come
November what this would do is would
kind of Muddy the waters and give more
options to Arizona voters to in the
Republicans eyes restrict abortion
access Kira all right Jaclyn Le for us
there in Arizona Jacqueline thank you we
are following breaking news for you
right now it’s all stemming from the
spread of those protests on college
campuses amid the Israeli Hamas War some
of those protests now turning violent so
schools from coast to coast are being
forced to move classes online for safety
reasons Columbia University there in New
York still at the center of this
movement as massive protests have drawn
the national Spotlight now it’s drawing
house Speaker Mike Johnson to its campus
to meet with Jewish students and calling
for the University’s President to resign
after a week of tensions there
apparently there is now some progress to
break up the encampment of protesters
that’s where we find our Stephanie Ramos
she’s still right there on the campus of
Columbia University so Stephanie where
do those negotiations stand at this
hour well right now we understand that
University officials and representatives
for those student demonstrators have
agreed to keep talking for the next two
days I don’t know if you can hear but
there is a small group of pro
Palestinian protesters that are yelling
and chanting outside side of the
Columbia University Gates here but
that’s all we’re seeing right now still
on the campus on that West Lawn which is
basically at the center of Campus there
are still tents but we understand that
uh from University officials that there
has been significant progress uh in
those conversations and students have
committed to dismantling and removing
some of those tents from the west lawn
uh we also understand that some of those
conditions that were discussed last
night between University officials and
some of those student demonstrators what
was to ensure that those who are on
campus and are demonstr demonstrating
and are pitching tents should be
affiliated with the school here is uh we
want to let you listen to an interview
that we did with a student demonstrator
here are her thoughts on what it means
for Columbia University to be at the
center of this solidarity
movement I think it’s incredibly
inspiring I even saw in in Australia
that they were they were doing something
similar I think it’s a testament to the
fact that students across the country
can no longer stand by as our money is
funding genocide um and we will do we
will take sacrifices and do whatever it
takes to make sure that our voices are
heard and that student and others that
were with her say they are not packing
up to leave they want to see change and
they as you heard she wants her voice
heard and she’s not budging like many of
the student demonstrators that are
camped out on the campus Kira and
Stephanie now house Speaker Mike Johnson
headed to where you are what exactly
does he want to achieve there on
campus well we understand that house
Speaker Mike Johnson will speak with
Jewish students here about the current
situation not only on this college
campus but also campuses across the
country we understand that he will hold
a press conference and make remarks
about uh the anti anti-semitic uh
incidents that have occurred across the
country so we will be there for that and
we’ll bring you the latest uh when it
happens all right let us know Stephanie
we’ll come right back to you appreciate

[Music]
here bonuses stock grants a sixf figure
salary Walmart says you too can jur and
earn up to $400,000 a year and get this
green necessary our business
correspondent Alexis ch St forus has all
the details because she sat down with
the president and CEO of Walmart us for
an exclusive interview so Alexis let’s
talk about what’s behind the push well
Kira today for the first time ever
Walmart held its opportunity Summit
that’s what it’s calling it here in DC
they invited over a dozen large
corporations Home Depot McDonald’s
PepsiCo Verizon Executives from all
those companies coming together to find
ways to offer sixf fig salaries to
people who don’t necessarily have a
college degree instead they’re focusing
on skills that they see say are
sometimes even more important than those
college degrees to help give more access
to folks uh with these high-paying jobs
and here’s just a snippet of our
conversation why did wmart decide to
remove college degree requirements from
some of these higher paid corporate jobs
you know I look at this a couple ways
there are so many different ways that
people will find their own path to
success you know for some of us that
means college for some of us mean skills
and the skills there are a number of
ways that we want to help people attain
the skills to be really successful at
their job at Walmart and we have a lot
of programs where we want to make sure
people have the skills they need to be
successful recognizing that that while
college is great for some it’s not
exactly the right answer for
everyone and actually Kira John ferner
is a good example of someone who who
really rose up the ranks what they’re
trying to do is give people a career
path with within Walmart and other
companies like McDonald’s and Home Depot
back in 1993 John ferer was stacking
shelves at his local Walmart store now
he’s CEO of their us operations it’s
incredible do you think what he’s doing
could actually have a a domino effect
and we see a number of other
corporations taking this on I’m also
curious what he had to say about
inflation you and I have been talking
about that every single week and and
talking about high price high prices
impacting everyone who shops at Walmart
Beyond exactly we definitely talked
about inflation and its impact on the
Walmart Shopper and he actually had some
good news there he said he’s optimistic
that’s his word that inflation
particularly food inflation will
continue to move lower throughout the
year he said for the first time in a
couple of years Walmart was able to keep
prices steady on thousands of products
uh from last year to this year and in
some cases even rolled back or reduced
prices uh he gave an example they have
two liter sodas some some of them going
for a buck uh and French bread going for
a dollar he said they haven’t been able
to do that in a while so overall he says
more work needs to be done but he’s
optimistic that prices will move in the
right direction Kira all right we’ll see
Alexis Christopher it’s great to have
you here in DC with us well coming up if
it’s not Walmart we may have some other
enticing jobs for you what a new FTC ban
could mean for those of you looking for
a new

hour good afternoon everyone glad you’re
streaming with us I’m Kira Phillips we
do begin with breaking news and it’s
that violence that’s erupting at yet
another college campus as protests are
growing amid the Israel Hamas War take a
look at the scene now it’s happening on
the campus of UT Austin students walking
out of class marching to the university
South Mall the situation so intense that
Texas state troopers were actually
called in to try and disperse the
[Applause]
crowd our ABC affiliate in Austin there
reporting that at least three people
have been arrested authorities also
telling protesters they could face
Criminal Trespass charges if they didn’t
dispersed so far this week protests have
swept across college campuses Nationwide
some schools even being forced to move
classes online for safety reasons
Columbia University in New York still at
the center of the movement house Speaker
Mike Johnson on campus right now at
Columbia University meeting with Jewish
students and calling for the
University’s President to resign our
Stephanie Ramos is there and joins us
from phone from the phone as she is on
campus at Columbia I know there’s a lot
of moving parts right now Stephanie so
just bring us up Tod dat on where you
are right now and also what you’re
hearing about the situation at UT
Austin absolutely Hera so I am actually
just a few feet away from where house
Speaker Mike Johnson will be speaking to
the press it is a little bit of a mess
here right now this is why we can’t get
on camera with you to speak with you but
we are here on campus uh close to where
the encampment is taking place also here
on at Columbia University right now
things are calm when it comes to the
student demonstrators that are here on
the Weston that have set up tentant for
the last week uh what I can tell you
about uh UT Austin we know that Pro
Palestinian protests there has expanded
I mean you know across the country but
across that campus I believe at this
point it would it would be hard to find
a university or college where students
are not participating in this movement
now at the University of Texas here’s
what we know at this point this still a
very fluid situation we know that at
least three people have been arrested at
this Pro pales often so far this week we
know Pro pales Pro palestin uh protests
have slept so many different college
campuses uh including here I mean
Columbia University being at the center
of all of this we’ve seen arrest at NYU
Yale University in Connecticut the
movement has also hit the West Coast at
calply Hult in California where we’ve
seen we we saw images of demonstrators
clashing with police there but as we’ve
said these these protests these
demonstrations are definitely widening
across the country and and becoming
quite violent at certain campuses but
here at Columbia University I can tell
you it is calm there is a small group of
of pro Palestinian demonstrators right
outside of the gate outside of uh the
Columbia University campus uh but here
on campus where I am I am looking
directly at the encampment I’m looking
directly at the where the house speaker
will speak it is is calm and and people
are are just just Gathering and I mean
we’ve spoken to a lot of the
demonstrators who say they’re not
budging the demonstrators who are here
at Columbia University they’re not
moving and from the looks of it uh
they’re sticking with that Kira so
Stephanie stay with me here because I’m
now getting word um that we’re getting
some strong pictures from our uh WABC
station in Los Angeles over at USC the
University of Southern California uh
we’ve got it up right now uh Steph uh
actually KABC sorry about that WABC is
New York KABC bringing us these pictures
from from USC um John Haskell who’s a
reporter there at ABC7 said he tweeted
this out just a minute ago saying it’s a
pretty chaotic scene at USC right now as
officers with the Department of Public
Safety went into Gaza solidarity camp
and took down tents and signs protesters
faced off with the officers some tents
have been returned so Stephanie as I
have you on the line and we’re waiting
for house Speaker Mike Johnson to speak
there at Colombia you just mentioned
calply now we’re getting these pictures
in from USC um you have been there on
Colombia University where protests have
taken place we have also new pictures
coming in from UT Austin I mean clearly
uh things are not calming down from
across the country uh but where you are
is is where it started so what are you
thinking Mike Johnson will say what are
we what are we expecting to hear from
the speaker of the house and could this
be a message to all campuses uh as these
protests some violent continue to spread
uh across the the
country well absolutely well we we
certainly expect for house Speaker Mike
Johnson to meet with Jewish students
here at Columbia University we
understand that he will of course
deliver remarks to the Press take
questions regarding anti-Semitism on
America’s college campuses uh I know
there are a couple of students that are
looking forward to hearing from him they
are gathered here as well uh I mean this
is this has definitely progressed in the
last uh few days the last week and as
you mentioned Columbia University yeah
at the center of this solidarity
movement and these students who are
still here and have been camped out for
the last week are are proud of that they
are proud that this was the start and
that other students at other
universities are following student just
a few moments ago I spoke with one
student she is a Jewish student she is
uh with the uh Gaza solidarity Gaza
movement and she she says that you know
they they have every right to be here
and voice their opinion and she says
that what we’re seeing when we see these
agitators and when we see these uh
demonstrations turn violent she says
that is not the group that started this
that is not the group that is here
camped out on the west lawn uh so and
and this is something that we that we’ve
also heard from the New York city mayor
uh just uh yesterday saying that the
there are peaceful protests but then
there are these outside individuals that
jump in take advantage of the situation
and uh become violent and and just turn
it into something else we have um spoken
with uh just spoke with a faculty member
here at Columbia University who stopped
me to kind of figure out what what was
going on and and and she said that it’s
also a discussion amongst the the
professors here and and that’s also a
very divisive conversation she shared
with me she says that that there are
professors on on multiple different
sides obviously this is not a black and
white issue this is this is has so many
different uh factors and and just levels
to it it’s a very complex situation uh
but she says that these she’s stood with
she’s standing with the students says
they have every right to to to be here
but of course when these situations turn
violent that’s not what anybody wants to
see no one should be getting heard in
this process and as you mentioned it
things are turning quite violent there
at USC we understand that at least uh 30
students uh began setting up tents and
encampments there on on the campus at
the University of Southern California
actually the alumni Park uh to join in
on this Nationwide trend of of college
demonstrations and uh unfortunately that
that turning violent there but it’s a
situation that we are continuing to
monitor as for now right here from
Columbia University uh we are not seeing
that on
campus all right Stephanie stay in close
touch as soon as we hear uh from the
speaker uh let us know uh how that goes
and we’ll continue to monitor all these
live pictures from coast to coast now
where you are there at Columbia
University in New York to USC where
we’re getting these pictures in from our
station KABC there in Los Angeles
Stephanie also telling us about uh
calply there in California and even
pictures coming into to us from UT
Austin clearly uh these students wanting
to to have a voice the protests are
growing a lot of classes going online
it’s something something will continue
to follow uh throughout the afternoon uh
and appreciate it Stephanie keep us
updated all right back here at home in
our nation’s capital that eight-month
standoff is finally over Congress
celebrating a major bipartisan Victory
with President Biden signing the $95
billion foreign aid package our
lawmakers finally coming to an agreement
on money for Ukraine Israel and Taiwan
but it also gets Congress one step
closer to Banning Tick Tock our senior
Congressional correspondent Rachel Scott
joins now Rachel you just spoke with
Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell
he’s been a fierce advocate for this Aid
uh what’s he telling you about the
passage and also the push back yeah I
just left leader McConnell’s office for
an interview between myself and ABC’s
Ali pecorin and look this is an issue
that the minority leader has been
hammering home for months now he has
reached across the Al he wanted to see
this a to Ukraine get pass and he knew
that this was going to be a challenge I
asked him whether or not he was
surprised by so much of the Republican
opposition within his own party he said
no but he said at times he did feel in
the beginning like the last Reagan
Republican in the room he peeled back
the curtain on that meeting you may
remember just months ago between
President Biden leader hakee Jeff Chuck
Schumer the majority leader and speaker
Johnson were one by one they all made
the case to him to pass additional Aid
to Ukraine and he also talked about the
former president as well in our
interview he says the issues typically
reflect either your president of your
party the office or the nomination for
president and he said I think a lot of
the views that Republicans at large are
going to have will not be based on what
we did in Congress but on who the
nominee for president is he says that he
was encouraged in fact uh by former
president Donald Trump who embraced the
new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson
and decided to quit talking about this
issue he added he knows how much Trump
likes to win and he called this a
winning issue not a losing issue pretty
notable there Kira because as you know
former president Donald Trump pressured
Republicans to reject that bipartisan
border security deal that their own
party negotiated there in the Senate
that was going to be tied to additional
Aid to Ukraine that completely fell
apart once the former president weighed
in but here you have the minority leader
Mitch McConnell making somewhat of a nod
saying that the former president
deciding really not to get involved and
how this all ended up panning out
ultimately may have helped the final
passage of this legislation and getting
it to President Biden’s desk so what
what did he have to say about the move
by Speaker Johnson to actually put the
bill on the floor and potentially put
his job in Jeopardy yeah and this was
really interesting here Kira because we
know that Mitch McConnell was someone
who was quite frankly pleading with
speaker Mike Johnson to move on this
legislation McConnell has warned of this
delay of getting this NE necessary aid
over to Ukraine he wanted to see this
done months ago but when we asked him
about how he views speaker Johnson’s
role in all of this putting his job on
the line to put these bills on the floor
he said that he gave everybody a chance
to vote which is a good way to figure it
out and that is why it ended up passing
and he thinks that uh that he said that
he thinks in this situation it was a
pretty courageous decision by Speaker
Mike Johnson and ultimately as we’
discussed this is something that could
cost him his job because you had one by
one Republicans lining up against that
over here o over on the Senate side
there’s a lot of frustration among
Republican Senators who say that
congresswoman margerie Taylor green and
some of her efforts could ultimately be
the reason why you see uh Republicans
lose down ballot races calling it a big
distraction and a quote waste of time
those were the words that Senator Tom
Tillis said I asked leader McConnell if
he agrees with that sentiment he said
he’s not going to weigh in on individual
members and that he may have a lot more
to say when he’s officially out of
leadership and just a couple of months
Kira and I’m counting on you to get that
exclusive interview Rachel Scott up on
the hill for us Rachel thank you well
divided Supreme Court is now considering
an abortion access case from Idaho that
will reverberate from coast to coast at
issue does a federal law mandating
emergency care for those in need mean
hospitals must provide abortion access
if a woman’s health is at risk the
justices heard both sides of the case
today only giving small hints on which
side they stand D these arguments come a
day after President Biden campaigned in
Florida yesterday just a week before the
state’s six we abortion ban takes
effect for 50 years the Court ruled that
there was a fundamental constitutional
right of
privacy but two years ago that was taken
away let’s be real clear there’s one
person responsible with this nightmare
and he’s acknowledging he brags about it
Donald Trump
joining me now our senior Washington
correspondent Deon DWI he’s just outside
the Supreme Court Devon let’s talk about
the arguments it seemed that there was a
break between the women justices and
some of the men why did that happen a
fascinating Dynamic today K you know
Idaho is here defending their abortion
ban uh that has only the exception for
the life of the woman saying that women
in emergency situations that fall well
short of death uh being imminent can
still get treatment could still possibly
get an A abortion uh but women justices
the three liberals of course were not
buying that said that federal law trumps
Idaho law women must clearly have access
uh to these treatments if they need it
and Amy Coney Barrett one of the
staunchest opponents of abortion on this
court was a very interesting player
today Kira she at several moments
flashed uh in her word kind of shock at
the uh state of Idaho’s position that
women uh can might not be protected in
getting this treatment if they needed it
she was really grilling Idaho’s attorney
over what circumstances a doctor would
be allowed and protected to provide
abortion if a woman’s health or her
reproductive organs say were at risk uh
so flashing some concern about that um
we’ll have to see how she comes out it
was not clear how she’ll vote in this
case but Brett Kavanaugh another
conservative in that same camp uh those
two and chief justice Roberts will
likely decide this case Cura when it
comes down at the end of June with so
much on the line for the rest of the
country especially in 14 states that
have these very strict abortion bans
with no exceptions except when the the
the life of the woman uh is is at risk
Deon DWI at the Supreme Court Forest
Devon thank you coming up from the air

progress at the Port of Baltimore
following that devastating bridge
collapse the Maryland Port
Administration announcing today a fourth
temporary channel will open starting
tomorrow to allow ships to leave port
you’ll remember the Francis Scott
keybridge collapsed last month after a
cargo ship slammed into the bridge
sending it plummeting into the river six
construction workers died two of those
victims still missing as you see here
today our Terry Moran traveled with the
the secretary of the Army and the head
of the Army Corps of Engineers to get a
bird’s eyee view of the work that’s
being done right now to fully reopen
that channel Terry joins me now live
from Baltimore so Terry you’ve been
covering this story since the very
beginning when that bridge collapsed
today you got this exclusive tour high
above uh construction tell us
everything well car high above and right
up close once again on boat right out
there where the the Bridge went down and
which is now a major Milestone today a
channel has been dredged and cleared
that is wide enough and deep enough to
reopen the Port of Baltimore here to 80%
of the vessel traffic that could handle
before the disaster that means people
back to work uh that is just great news
for the city of Baltimore and hundred
billion dollars worth uh of goods and
services come in through that so it’s
good news for the economy as well uh but
no question getting out there once again
it’s so so different I was here the
morning after it happened and got out in
a boat a few days later and there was
Tangled steel trusses above the water
stretching the entire span of that
bridge most of that is now gone Crews
working you know day and night with the
Army Corps of Engineers and Contracting
Crews and the Coast Guard a whole team
of people have done just amazing work to
get Baltimore open once again that is
the news today while they do it they’re
still very mindful that that scene out
there is is still a scene where two men
who went down with that bridge those
construction workers are still trapped
somewhere uh in that wreckage there
remains they’re searching for them every
day the divers when they are down
underwater they are by hand touching the
Tangled steel below the water uh to test
its stresses and also to see if they can
feel anything that is how hard they are
working on that aspect of this project
as well it is it is really a remarkable
story ahead of schedule Baltimore’s
reopen to 80% of the vessel traffic that
had handled
before a lot of work ahead all right

listen now to the Daily News podcast

a news podcast worth listening to start

covering hurricane Adalia I’m M aachi
wherever the story is we’ll take you
there you’re streaming ABC News
[Music]
Live Well packing more than just a lunch
and parents already not liking how it
tastes a Tennessee Bill allowing
teachers to carry guns in schools is now
on its way to the governor’s desk House
Republicans say it’s meant to protect
students but critics say it’s putting
kids at
risk that is not what we we’ve been
trained to do nor is it what we have
time to do we need to focus on arming
our teachers and schools with more books
we need to arm them with more resources
plentiful resources and we need to arm
them with the mental health
professionals and supports our students
need this comes one year after the
deadly school shootings in Nashville
they killed six people incl including
three children our Morgan Norwood is on
the story so Morgan will parents and
students even know if there’s a gun in
the classroom I mean how exactly does
this bill work yeah Kira as you pointed
out a lot of people divided over this
particular issue and and I want to point
out something that this bill is just one
of dozens across the country in fact
more than half of the states here in our
country have some sort of Bill that
allows teachers or some sort of worker
to carry uh conceal carry so let’s talk
about this particular uh Bill a worker
who wants to carry would need a valid
carry permit and written authorization
from the principal and local law
enforcement along with a clear
background check and 40 hours of handgun
training um they also couldn’t carry at
school events like your sports games
your proms um but as you pointed out I I
think it’s important to to emphasize
this here too because it bars parents
and other teachers from even knowing who
is armed right so essentially parents
they have little to no say and deciding
whether they want their children in the
classroom with an adult who has this
firearm who has this weapon and that’s
been a real concern cira uh for some
parents so as expected the reaction to
the bill is mixed whether it’s parents
probably some other teachers there’s a
lot of people even wanting to remain
anonymous uh those who who support
bringing a gun into the
classroom yeah absolutely a lot of
questions a lot of outrage about this um
proponents of this bill right say that
this is about deterring gun violence
especially in the wake of that deadly
school shooting that we saw last March
um but those against this say not this
is just not the answer right it’s simply
gun access expansion you know we’ve seen
the protest uh over this many chanting a
blood on your hands the moment that this
bill was passed you’re seeing it there
at one point even the galleries in the
state house had to be cleared out but
certainly some mixed reaction here’s
what folks are
saying this bill it seeks to make the
bar so high but to allow the locals to
have the ability to do that that it
would create a deterrent across our
state
yeah so you were just hearing from
lawmakers there another thing that I
want to point out with this is It’s
unclear if you know school districts
would actually take to this actually
take advantage of this bill if it
becomes law um we are hearing from one
school district Nashville schools
already weighing in on this they say
that it’s best that law enforcement be
the only ones to carry weapons on campus
so we’ll certainly see how all of this
plays out if the governor uh decides to
to sign this bill Kira all right Morgan
Norwood we’ll follow it appreciate it

hour violence erupting at yet another
college campus as protests are growing
amid the Israel Hamas War take a look at
the scene here happening right now on
the campus of UT Austin students walking
out of class marching across the grounds
of the university the situation so
intense that Texas state troopers as you
can see were called in to try and
disperse the crowd take a listen
[Applause]
well our ABC affiliate there in Austin
is reporting that at least three people
were arrested also uh authorities told
protesters they could face Criminal
Trespass charges if they didn’t disperse
so far this week those protests have
swept across college campuses Nationwide
some schools even being forced to move
classes online for safety precautions
Columbia University there in New York
still at the center of this movement
house Speaker Mike Johnson on campus
right now meeting with Jewish students
and calling for the University’s
president to actually resign our Morgan
Norwood is following the latest
developments happening first at UT
Austin let’s start there Morgan bring us
up to speed yeah as you just laid out
we’re seeing some intense protests
breaking out at UT Austin we’re tracking
all of this in real time Kieran and of
course it all centers around the Israel
Hamas war of course we’ve seen uh this
protest in particular ramp up within the
past hour or so uh the word on the
ground there kir is that Troopers are
Marching through campus calling for
these demonstrators there to support you
can see I mean hundreds you see police
there and riot gear and as you pointed
out Cara we’ve seen you know these
protests break out all across the
country especially the one here in
Colombia uh Colombia University here in
New York I was out there last week but
this one in particular um seems to be
tied to all of that right students say
that they are standing in solidar
solidarity with the students in Colombia
at Colombia who have been calling on the
university to divest from business
dealings with Israel standing with
Palestinians admit that growing
humanitarian crisis there in Gaza
students say that they will be occupying
this space all day we’re talking about
the situation there that you’re seeing
unfold at UT encouraging other students
to camp out as well um and already Kira
we’ve seen a few clashes right arrest
officers with zip ties all of this
according to our crews there on the
ground at one point protesters even
clashing with officers some calling them
pigs some chance about the IDF the KKK
again we’re still getting all of this
information in in real time state
troopers we know are blocking protesters
from continuing to March down the
speedway that’s a nearby highway there
roughly 50 state troopers you see them
in riot gear the helmets the batons
there uh blocking again protesters from
marching down that speed Speedway uh
seven of which we understand are on
Horseback the crowd is continuing to
move continuing to March and estimated
to be around 100 50 to 200 people but
again as we’re hearing from this group
there on the ground that’s organizing
this protest um they’re calling on
students to stay there to remain they
want this protest to grow they want to
make their voices heard um and so this
is just a mirror of what we’re seeing on
both coasts right we’ve seen the
situation at un at USC but then also the
situation here in New York uh at
Colombia which of course um continues to
to unfold here all right thank you
Morgan and I want to bring in our
Stephanie Ramos she joins us livees on
the live on the phone from the campus of
Columbia University that’s where speaker
Mike Johnson is addressing students it’s
really the the core of where this
movement sort of started Stephanie bring
us up to date on the situation there as
you are watching these pictures unfold
from USC in Southern California to UT
Austin uh what’s the latest from
Colombia so Cara we are just I’m just a
few feet away from where house Speaker

this encampment on the west saw it’s
it’s not very far from uh from they
won’t be far from each other uh but like
I said there there things are relatively
calm here on the campus outside of
Campus just outside the gates here at
Columbia University there is a small
group of of prop paloian protesters who
have been kind of camped out there and
and and making their demands and en
chanting but here on the campus there
are still tents that are up uh workers
are actually setting up for graduation
around them I just spoke with a student
who says she’s supposed to graduate and
and in just about two and a half weeks
or so and doesn’t know what will happen
in terms of the ceremony obviously
something that her parents and family
were looking forward to so there’s still
a lot of uncertainty here we know that
Columbia University notified students
and faculty this morning that the hybrid
model for classes uh meant to ensure
student safety will extend to final exam
so that is new for a lot of students
students we were speaking to yesterday
we’re actually uh looking forward to
like this week being done which was
being offered online and then being able
to return to class to take their final
exams but of course that will now be
online as well now that announcement uh
happened just shortly after the
university said that it had extended
negotiations with student activists over
the dismantling of their Pro Palestinian
encampment that has really just
highlighted the the schools divestment
practices and and prompted these
solidarity protests at colleges across
the country
Kira all right uh Stephanie appreciate
it so much uh we will continue uh to
stay in close contact uh with you and
with Morgan as these protests uh
continue across the country right there
uh you were looking at pictures that
we’ve been actually getting these in uh
every few minutes from our our stations
from the West Coast uh to the east coast
these pictures right here coming into to
us from the UN University of Texas in
Austin um our affiliate there reporting
that a few arrests were already made
things were starting to get pretty
contentious we saw the mounted Ed uh was
brought in we saw police officers there
in Austin in riot gear uh it was getting
a little chaotic when we had first
dipped in look at those live pictures
things have seemed to have calmed down
now um and that the protesters are are
listening to the police and the warnings
that they could be arrested uh for trust
passing uh so things have calmed down
there we also have received pictures out
of uh University of Southern California
USC um there and our affiliate uh KABC
uh the correspondent uh there J Josh
hasell had put out a tweet these are the
pictures we got in from um KABC there in
Los Angeles Josh tweeted out that he was
there uh on campus saying the scene at
USC right now uh as officers with the
Department of Public Safety went into
Gaza solidarity camp I guess that is
what it’s being referred to now where
those protesters have been uh based and
and set up in tents uh Josh tweeting
that the um the officers not sure if it
was okay so it is the officers of the
Department of Public Safety actually
because USC has its own Police
Department there on campus in addition
to um officers uh not tied to the
university so it looks like it’s the
campus uh police that were brought in
and started taking down some of those
tents and signs um apparently according
to Josh in this tweet that protesters
did face off with some of those officers
um and some of the tents were returned
but we are following these protests uh
from coast to coast now our Stephanie r
at Columbia University in New York uh we
have Josh Haskell with our affiliate
KABC there in Los Angeles following
these protests that appear to be calm
right now on the USC campus there um in
Southern California and then also we had
pictures uh coming in from calply out
there in California in addition to the
pictures you saw coming in from the
University of Texas in Austin so clearly
uh what started at Colombia in New York
has spread across the country now where
are these uh pictures coming in from
where are these
protests what university is this is this
calply okay so this is from yesterday
these were the protests that were
happening at calply um our affiliate
KRCR bringing those into US those
actually had been happening overnight or
Stephanie Ramos was telling us that
those protesters still have been on
campus uh at calply um so as these
protests continue to spread I clearly
this
is okay now until we are getting these
live pictures out of UT in Austin you
can see uh the police officers in riot
gear not quite sure uh where they are
coming from and going to but okay
they’re coming right into the admits
right into the middle of where the
protesters are and it’s interesting
we’ve seen uh uh Palestinian Flags we
have seen you can see some of the
students there um with their t-shirts uh
supporting uh Israel um but both sides
are represented uh here in these
protests as uh officers um in riot gear
continue to kind of walk through the
students as we follow these live
pictures uh at UT at UT Austin um again
we are following live pictures if you’re
just joining us from coast to coast uh
the protest that started at Columbia
University in New York um some of them
turning violent causing classes there to
go online for safety reasons uh we’re
seeing sort of a domino effect now and
here is uh pictures we are getting now
from Colombia where house Speaker Mike
Johnson is expected to speak any moment
our Stephanie Romos is actually there in
that crowd she’s getting ready to listen
in for when the speaker does take uh to
the mic uh he had been meeting with some
students uh prior uh matter of fact
right now he’s still meeting with those
students after that happens uh speaker
Johnson will come to the mic there and
and address uh reporters and have some
type of press conference we know that
speaker Johnson uh has called on uh the
Columbia University President to resign
he called these protests disgusting
unacceptable uh our Stephanie Ramos
calling in once again to us she’s there
just where those mics are set up at
Columbia University any idea when Mike
Johnson will come out to the mic
Stephanie we’re expecting he will come
out in possibly the next 10 to 15
minutes on the press release I believe
it’s at 3:45 so we’ll see if happens so
maybe the next 5 minutes uh but the
crowd here has certainly gathered and or
grown since uh the last hour when when
we first got here and it’s actually it’s
wherever he’s it seems as though when
when he comes out and is standing there
speaking to reporters speaking to press
he’ll have a direct uh line of sight his
line of sight will be directly toward
the encampment here on the west lawn at
Columbia University the there are still
plenty of tents that are still up even
though there was some sort of an agre
agent with University officials and and
student protesters that they would
dismantle some of those tents uh there
are still some that are up graduation
setup is taking place around them on the
other Lawns uh but protesters that we’ve
spoken to here that are set up on that
lawn have said that they will not
disperse until the university agrees to
cut ties with Israeli academic
institutions and commit to a complete
divestment of Colombia’s funds uh from
entities connected to Israel so that’s
just some of of their demands
uh and and and they’re sticking with
that we’ve been here for for many many
days now and it’s almost a week and uh
student protesters that are here that
are outside of the the campus and that
are here camped out are um not budging
but once house Speaker Mike Johnson uh
comes out we will see what their
reaction will be because they are not
they’re not far from from those steps
where house Speaker Mike Johnson will
will be speaking here um
momentarily so Stephanie we’ve sort of
been going back and forth because we’ve
been getting live pictures in uh from
Los Angeles at the campus of USC where
those protests are taking place but
we’re back now on these live pictures
where you are at Columbia University
where you can see where all the tents uh
are set up and where the students have
been spending their days and nights in
these encampments and Stephanie stay
with me a minute let me know if if you
see Mike Johnson uh the house Speaker uh
come out and come to the mics I just
want to read um some parts of a radio
interview that he did this morning
Stephanie with Hugh hwit uh the uh the
speaker coming out pretty strong and and
calling on the president there uh at
Colombia to resign he said on the radio
show it’s unconscionable this president
has shown to be very weak an EPT leader
they cannot even guarantee the safety of
Jewish students they’re expected to run
for their lives and stay home from class
it’s just it’s just maddening what we’re
seeing on these college campuses across
the country is disgusting and
unacceptable uh the speaker uh going on
to say in this interview this morning
with Hugh huitt Stephanie um that we
need to revoke these students visas for
these violent protests you don’t have a
right to be here and to do this but
Jewish students have the right to be
able to peacefully attend class um he
went on to say Stephanie I mean this is
outrageous we have Jewish students who
have actually been physically assaulted
they’ve been harassed they’ve been
intimidated and they’ve been threatened
before I go on just reading more of of
this interview I I do want to go to you
Stephanie um for for some balance here
you’ve been there covering the story uh
on Columbia University’s campus you’ve
been talking to students on both sides
um can you just kind of lay out for us
what you have seen what you have what
you’ve witnessed the students that
you’ve talked to the professors that
you’ve talked to what you’ve observed as
a journalist while cover ing this since
it
started well it’s what I’ve noticed is
that obviously this is a very complex
issue and there are so many different
sides to this story it’s not a black and
white issue it’s it’s there there are so
many different perspectives so many
different types of students that are
here uh part of this Gaza solidarity
group here at Columbia University and
other universities across the country
that uh again want their m M heard uh
and and and also don’t stand for the
violence that we have seen at other
colleges and universities and have
commented on that and and and it’s
interesting and and hearing from uh
house Speaker Mike Johnson it’ll be
interesting to to see what he says once
he stands there on those steps uh when
where he has a clear shot of the
encampment where you know right now as I
as I mentioned there there is no there
is no yelling there is no there there
there is no violence at this point
obviously there you know there was there
was there have been tense situations
here at Columbia University and other
universities here in New York but at
this very moment it’ll be interesting to
see if he addresses the encampment being
able to see it clearly see that they’re
singing and they’re eating and they’re
and they’re here uh and and clearly
visible um but I I I think it’s to see
so many of these students and in both on
on so many different sides being able to
to talk to Jewish students who say they
they they don’t feel comfortable walking
past the encampment or have been
harassed or intimidated and and and and
you feel for them because they they they
want to go to class and they they they
don’t want to be faced with with this
negativity and the and and the
intimidation then you speak to the
student demonstrators here at Columbia
University that say they don’t want that
either and that that’s not them so it’s
and it’s hard to pinpoint for official
here at the University and NYPD that has
been here well outside the campus for
several days it’s hard for them to
pinpoint who is affiliated with the
university and who is not who is an
outside agitator and this is something
that was addressed by the New York city
mayor that that that there are many
outside agitators that are joining in
now this this campus here at Columbia
University campus is very different from
the NYU campus here at Colombia it’s
basically kind of fenced in like
multiple multiple blocks are all uh it’s
like this little quad there there it’s
it’s a Spen in type of Campus so you
need to show your ID when you enter and
and and and every every time so at NYU
it’s much more of an open space campus
it’s in the middle of grenwich Village
so you can just you know get off the
subway walk down the street and you’re
you’re walking past a lot of the NYU
buildings and a lot of the areas where
NYU students may hang out so uh it’s it
kind of makes sense why things would
have escalated much more quickly down
there because of the that campus setup
uh but just overall again just what I’ve
observed is that there are so many
different perspectives and so many
different groups here and this is
something that the university and campus
Public Safety and NYPD are trying to
handle and right now it is still very
uncertain where they’re going to go from
here all right Stephanie uh stay close
with us as we’re watching live pictures
from New York uh to where that
encampment is that Stephanie was just
talking about to uh the steps of where
house Speaker Mike Johnson will come out
uh at any moment there on campus uh
pretty much blasting the president of
Columbia University on a morning radio
show this morning saying that she should
resign it’ll be interesting to hear what
he has to say uh if he met with the
president uh he’s meeting with Jewish
students right now uh we will we will
take that live as as soon as it happens
Stephanie appreciate you rolling uh with
this uh along uh with us and bringing us
up to date we also have some breaking
news happening over in Arizona now uh
the Arizona house just now passing a
repeal of the Supreme Court ruling in
that state that created a lot of chaos
and confusion as you know after deciding
that the near total abortion ban from
the Civil War era would go into effect
our Jaclyn Lee is in Phoenix for us a
lot happening today Jacqueline this bill
uh is officially repealed so what
happened yes Kira so a big twist today
because three Republicans joined
Democrats to repeal uh this this law uh
so right now it passed the house it
means it has to go to the Senate next
and keep in mind Ty in Arizona
Republicans control both the house and
the Senate so for three Republicans to
join Democrats that is a big deal that
is Matt Gres Tim Dunn and Justin
wilmouth all Republican Representatives
who joined Democrats now ahead of this
vote there was a lively debate on the
floor people from both sides sharing why
they voted yay or nay uh when it comes
to abortion we did hear from house
Speaker Ben Toma he took to the floor he
said he was very disappointed uh saying
he it appears that Democrats believe
abortion should occur with no limits and
no regulations he has made it very clear
he disagrees with this he wants this law
to stay in place and he even called out
California Democratic governor Gavin
Nome who earlier had a press conference
saying that that California is
introducing legislation to allow Arizona
Healthcare Providers to provide
abortions in California uh the governor
wants California to be a safe haven for
arizonans um so in terms of what’s next
again the the house passed it now it
will go to the Senate the Senate has
their own bill they had a second reading
uh to appeal the the law uh so basically
the Senate won’t be meeting until next
Wednesday but that’s when we’re going to
see some some big action Kira okay
appreciate it Jaclyn Lee thank you so
much we’ll stay in close contact with
you and uh we will also continue to
follow those protests across college
campuses amid the Israel Hamas war and
uh just the students that have been
reacting across the country it started
at Columbia University in New York and
now we’re getting live pictures from
Texas to Southern California and now the
house speaker is at Columbia University
meeting with Jewish students calling for
the president there to resign he’ll be
coming out to the the mic soon we will

live uh the violence continuing to erupt
yet another college campus as protests
are growing amid the Israel Hamas War
take a look at the scene today at the
campus of UT Austin students actually
walking out of class marching across the
grounds there of the university the
situation got so in so intense at one
point that Texas state troopers as you
can see here were called in to try and
disperse the crowd they are still there
by the way and our affiliate there in
Austin is reporting now that at least 10
people have been arrested since this
began now over at Columbia University in
New York it’s still the center of this
movement house Speaker Mike Johnson on
campus right now meeting with Jewish
students calling the University’s
President to resign he’ll be coming out
to the mics uh in just moments from now
to address all the reporters there on
that campus our Morgan Norwood has been
following uh what’s been developing at
UT Austin so let’s start there Morgan
bring us up to speed on what we know I
see that there you it was three arrests
now 10 students have been arrested but
when we were following the live pictures
it looked like things had calmed down a
bit does it seem peaceful as you’ve been
monitoring the live pictures out of UT
as well yeah we’ve been keeping an eye
on those live pictures coming out of UT
ausome but also um some Intel that we
have on the ground as well it seems like
at one point this crowd was on the move
you know maybe uh police able to get
them to disperse a little bit we do know
as you pointed out uh at least 10
arrests as of now that could change over
the next couple of hours couple of
minutes obviously the situation is still
unfolding but I want to get you up to
speed about what we know so far this all
unfolding within the past hour hour and
a half
intense protest you see they’re breaking
out at the University of Texas in Austin
and as you pointed out here this all
centers around the Israel Hamas War um
this protest in particular ramping up uh
the word on the ground there is that
Troopers you see there were marching
through the crowd they were told to
disperse this crowd break it up calling
for these demonstrators to again break
up um and it’s all in response to what
we’ve seen across the country right the
situation at USC but also I think what
this really hinges on uh from what we
understand from our reporters and and
our crews there on the ground is that
this TI this is tied to the situation at
Columbia University right here in New
York students there uh sent out an email
blast um this particular group standing
in solidarity with students in Colombia
who of course have been calling on the
university to to break ties with any
business dealings with Israel but then
they’re also standing uh in solidar
solidarity with Palestinians admit this
um ongoing humanitarian crisis there in
Gaza um students particularly at UT
Austin say that they’re going to be
occupying this space all day today
they’ve been encouraging other students
to camp out as well um you know as far
as what we’ve seen within the past
couple of hours we have seen a few
clashes the arrest at one point it was
three now it’s jumping up to 10 there
could be more as this continues officers
with zip ties according to one student
on the ground who’s who’s sending us
some information at one point protesters
even clashing with officers turning on
them calling them quote pigs this is
according to a student there on the
ground other chance uh about the IDF but
then we also seen a little bit of a
mixed crowd I I don’t want to um you
know glaze over that as well because if
you look at some of the frames in the
video you can see folks with um t-shirts
in support of Israel as well so there
seems to be a little bit of a mixture
there uh students from both sides of
this issue again we’re still getting a
lot of information in but you can just
see the amount of officers the State
Troopers that were called in they’ve got
their riot gear they’ve got their
helmets we also know that mount Patrol
was called in as well um and so as these
students were on the Move we understand
that you know uh these Troopers were
called in to kind of get that situation
under control because at one point they
were gravitating towards a highway um
roughly 50 state troopers have been
called in seven are on Horseback earlier
today again that crowd was moving and it
was estimated to to have grown from 1 15
uh to 200 of course we’ll see if that
continues to grow over the next couple
of hours and into the evening hours as
the situation continues to unfold you
know Troopers have um you know been
giving warnings after warnings and it’s
something that we’ve even seeing at the
situ situation in um in at Columbia
University you know I was there last
week as the University president was
blasting out email warnings like hey
you’ve got to break this up you’ve got
to break this up uh before she
ultimately allowed the NYPD to go in and
start clearing that uh encampment of
course which we know has grown once
again uh but state troopers according to
our Intel on the ground have been giving
two-minute warnings for these protesters
to disperse um some have stayed others
have dispersed so it’s a little bit of a
back and forth so we’ll see if the crowd
Contin to shrink and swell um that
accordian movement as this continues to
unfold Kira all right appreciate it uh
while we monitor things there at UT
Austin let’s head uh to Southern
California now our Josh hasell with our
ABC station in La he’s on the campus of
USC where we’ve been following the
protest there Josh I’ll just give you
the mic bring us up to date on what
you’ve seen what it’s like right now
update us
it has been quite the day very chaotic
at times here Kira we’re now at alumni
Park we’re standing in the middle of
USC’s campus in the Exposition Park area
of Los Angeles when we first arrived
around 10:00 a.m. Pacific time this
morning it was very calm uh protesters
in the solidarity Camp here for Gaza on
campus in alumni Park they had set up
their tents they had set up signs
shortly after that the Department of
Public Safety here with the University
of Southern California they moved into
take down those tents they did not want
any sort of infrastructure on campus
here they did not want people sleeping
overnight also they there were
complaints about the noise levels well
that did not go well students and I have
to tell you there are some protesters
here that are not students this is an
open campus people from outside of the
community have come on to campus uh
those students faced off with the
Department of Public Safety and it got
violent at times I want to show you what
the scene is now some of the tents were
taken down but some were not and we now
have a protest that has grown to it
feels like roughly 500 people uh
students and protesters are now marching
around alumni park that is what you’re
seeing and then behind those protesters
there’s a sign up that says let Gaza
live and I want to show you a little bit
um behind the sign you can see that
there’s still one tent I see in the
distance there well how is that tent
there Kira it’s there because students
physically picked up the tents that
remained after the Department of Public
Safety went in and they were marching
holding the tents so this scene is not
cleared and that is why we are hearing
that the Los Angeles Police Department
is in route to University of Southern
California and they plan to assist the
Department of Public Safety here on
campus and why will they assist the
Department of Public Safety well as you
can see the Department of Public Safety
has been completely outnumbered at one
time they took a student into custody
put them in a Department of Public
Safety car uh and that did not suit well
with these students they surrounded the
cop or the police car here on campus uh
and they demanded that that student be
released we believe that student was
released you could say it calmed a
little bit but we know that something is
is happening and going to happen and
that is what we’re hearing uh the Los
Angeles Police Department will come here
to assist uh the Department of Public
Safety at USC Kira we do not know what
that will look like tensions are running
High uh and we will of course be on the
scene to bring you the latest so Josh
stay with me a minute as we we have um
live pictures here from a bird’s eye
view we’ve got it coming in from your
helicopter also the pictures behind you
where the protests are taking place you
know as we’ve been following all these
various um student protests across uh
various campuses at Columbia University
as you know house Speaker Mike Johnson
is there he’s talking with the Jewish
students right now he’s expected to come
out to the mics he’s actually calling
for the president uh there at Columbia
to resign
have you heard of any pressure there at
USC for its President to resign is there
a call on the leadership there can you
give us any context to um not just the
protest taking place but could this move
higher up and have you heard calls for
for resignations or any local leaders
there getting into the
mix that’s a really good question Kier
and I have to add a little bit of
context of course it’s easy to group
What’s Happening Here with what’s
happening at colia happening at
universities across the country but we
have to add that this all kind of
started here on USC about two weeks ago
when OA tabasam the valedictorian was
asked not to speak here at stay with me
we got to go to Columbia University y
it’s all right stay with me house
Speaker Mike Johnson on Columbia
University on a very important day and a
very important time throughout history
Colombia students have contributed to
the great story book of America’s Life
American leaders like Alexander Hamilton
and John J and the Jewish leader gersam
shes knew the self-evident truth that
was at the heart of this country at and
once at the heart of this University and
that is that we are endowed by our
creator with certain and alienable
rights they should not be infringed the
the the founders and and the the great
leaders who had come through this
institution in the past believed in
religious liberty they believed in
democracy they believed in Morality and
virtue and the Dignity of every human
person they believed in the free
exchange of ideas and they detested mob
rule we are standing here right now on
the steps of the low library in this
very building right behind us Columbia
University once awarded Winston
Churchill an honorary degree and it was
Churchill who said it is manifestly
right that Jews should have a national
home where they may be reunited we
believe in that principle and today I’m
here to Proclaim to all those who Nash
their teeth and demand to wipe the state
of Israel off the map and attack our
innocent Jewish students this simple
truth neither Israel nor these Jewish
students on this campus will ever stand
alone today Hamas issued an endorsement
statement of the protesters on this
campus they called them the Future
Leaders of America it is
detestable all of this has to be said
because the cherish traditions of this
University are being overtaken right now
by radical and extreme ideologies they
place a Target on the backs of Jewish
students in the United States and here
on this campus a growing number of
students have chanted in support of
terrorists they have chased down Jewish
students they have mocked them and
reviled them they have shouted racial
eth they have screamed at those who be
bear the Star of David
enjoy your free
speech they’ve told Jewish students who
wear the Star of David to leave the
country and shamefully some professors
and faculty have joined the mobs things
have gotten so out of control that the
schools canceled inperson classes and
now they’ve come up with this hybrid
model where they will discriminate
against students they they are not
allowed to come to class anymore for
fear of their lives and it’s detestable
as Colombia has allowed these Lawless
agitators and radicals to take over the
virus of anti-Semitism has spread across
other campuses by some counts as many as
200 universities have a similar form of
protest right now at Yale a Jewish
student was stabbed in the eye with a
Palestinian flag and 45 students were
arrested at NYU pramas protesters were
shouting from The River To The Sea
anti-israel encampments are popping up
at universities all across this count
country
the madness has to stop the madness has
to stop we we just left a meeting with
students Jewish students who told us of
the heinous acts of bigotry that they
have experienced simply because of their
faith their bravery is inspiring much
more inspiring than some of the
activities we’re seeing here and they
should never have to confront such hate
on an American college campus it’s such
a such a a revered institution
anti-Semitism has been growing in
America and it’s clear why powerful
people have refused to condemn it and
some have even pedal it themselves from
University professors to public
officials people in positions of
authority have denied the horrific facts
of September 11th 2001 the attacks on
the United States that happened right
here in New York City and they’ve
attempted to excuse or to ignore the
barbaric attack of Hamas in Israel on
October 7th
2023 where Israeli women and children
were savagely raped and
murdered and infants were cooked in
ovens crowds of radical activists have
chanted death to America and on our own
streets in this country and subu
officials have refused to condemn them
others have openly defended these acts
on campus and the the harassing and the
the intimidation and the threatening of
innocent Jewish students simply because
of who they are they’ve called that
peaceful protest and some have even gone
as far as calling for the state of
Israel to be eliminated these are words
we expect from Ayatollah in Iran not
American lawmakers and not American
students and
unsurprisingly it has given way to
threats and violence in a generation of
students who feel safe in their own
classrooms who don’t feel safe in their
own classrooms or where they live or
where they worship let me say this very
simply no American of any color or Creed
should ever have to live under those
kinds of threats that is not Who We Are
in this
country sadly Colombia’s administrators
have chosen to Let the threats the fear
and the intimidation of the mob rule to
overtake American principles like free
speech and the free free exchange of
ideas and the free exercise of religion
they have co-opted First Amendment
arguments to protect genocide and to
elevate the voices of anti-Semitism they
have proven themselves to be incapable
of achieving their basic resp
responsibility which is keeping students
safe we just can’t allow this kind of
hatred and an anti-Semitism to flourish
on our campuses and it must be stopped
in its tracks those who are perpetrating
this violence should be arrested and I’m
here today I am here today joining my
colleagues and calling on President
shaik to resign if she cannot
immediately bring order to this
chaos this
chaos as Speaker of the the house I am
committing today that the Congress will
not be silent as Jewish students are
expected to run for their lives and stay
home from their classes hiding in fear
in the House of Representatives we’ve
already acted to address anti-Semitism
on campuses we have passed a number of
statutes to address this matter and we
call upon the US Senate to act upon our
legislation I have uh a couple of my
colleagues here that I’d like to share a
few words I’ll turn it over first to the
chair of the uh of the House Education
Virginia Fox congresswoman Virginia Fox
North Carolina Virginia thanks Mr
Speaker Columbia University is in a
freef fall this anti-Semitism the
education and Workforce committee
started
investigating so far the committee all
right you’ve been just listening to
house Speaker Mike Johnson there on the
steps of Columbia
University uh calling actually on the
resignation of the president of Colombia
minu shafik because of the protests that
have been happening there on campus um
just for the sake of balance here I do
have a letter that the uh Columbia
University president Manu shafik uh did
put out uh yesterday talking about these
protests on campus uh she said for
several days a small group of Faculty
administrators and University Senators
have been in dialogue with student
organizers to discuss the basis for
dismantling the encampment dispers
vering and following University policies
going forward those talks are facing a
deadline of midnight tonight to reach
agreement as you can see by the live
pictures that we are following there on
campus uh that those uh tents the
encampment has not been broken down but
the president did go on to say in this
letter I very much hope that these
discussions are successful if they are
not we will have to consider alternative
options for clearing the west lawn and
restoring colum to campus so that
students can complete the term and gradu
I’m deeply sensitive to the fact that
graduating seniors spent their first
year attending Columbia remotely we all
very much want these students to
celebrate their well-deserved graduation
with family and friends now uh the
president going on to say I also want to
be clear that we will not tolerate
intimidating harassing or discriminatory
Behavior we are working to identify
protesters who violated our policies
against discrimination and harassment
and they will be put through appropriate
disciplinary processes the right to
protest is essential and protected at
Colombia but harassment and
discrimination is anti-th to our values
and in affer to our commitment to be a
community of mutual respect and
kindness again this is a letter uh that
the president of Columbia University put
out but as you heard Mike Johnson say
the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson
there after meeting uh with students on
campus that he is calling for the
President to resign saying that she has
not done enough to protect the Jewish
students there on campus that they feel
intimidated they feel harassed they they
don’t feel safe on campus we are looking
at pictures right here of that
encampment uh which right now uh looks
calm looks peaceful our Stephanie Ramos
is there uh in the middle of it all
where Mike Johnson
just okay we will get to to uh Stephanie
in just a second but I want to take you
over now to the UN University of Texas
Austin uh this is UT Austin where you
are looking at pictures of of uh police
there in riot gear where protests have
been going on you can see that arrests
are actually happening right behind
those officers um we had reported early
on that there were three arrests then we
were told that there were 10 arrests now
as we’re looking at these uh live are
these live pictures guys or did these
just come into to us moments ago these
are live pictures these are live
pictures out of Austin in Texas where
more arrests are now happening amid
these protests on the campus um of the
University of Texas campus there in in
in Austin all right we’ll follow these
live pictures along with Colombia and
also the pictures coming out of USC
where our Josh hasell is on um the scene
as well are we able to go to Stephanie
now okay Stephanie Ramos we’re going to
go back now to Columbia University where
uh the speaker was was was just
addressing reporters um you know I’m
trying trying to remain balanced here
because we just had the speaker of the
house all I have is a letter um that
Manu shafik uh the president of Columbia
University put out yesterday saying she
was doing everything possible um to to
hold those accountable for any type of
intimidating harassing or discrimin
discriminatory behavior um but we as we
heard Mike Johnson Stephanie say that
that that has not been happening uh that
Jewish students feel intimidated they
are they are scared to walk across
campus they feel that they’re their
lives are being threatened as we look at
these pictures of an encamp an
encampment right now that looks calm
looks peaceful can you just put this all
into perspective as to what is exactly
happening there on campus how do the
Jewish students feel um is it calm right
now just whatever you have um from your
perspective Stephanie as you stand there
on campus yes absolutely so there are a
number of Jewish students that we have
spoken to here Jewish students who are
either uh with the pro Palestinian
movement here on campus and others who
are not part of that group but still
walk across campus and are here and are
witnessing what is happening here on the
west lawn on the Columbia University
campus and they tell us that they they
don’t want to diminish what these
demonstrators want to get across they
don’t want to diminish their message
they don’t want want to uh stop them
from putting their message out there and
and fighting for the people in Gaza that
that’s not what they want but they of
course don’t want to be intimidated by
those individuals that choose to do so
now another issue that the pro
Palestinian demonstrators have with the
house Speaker especially his his words
just a few moments ago is this blanket
uh statement that or or tying them like
the the the students that are here on
the West Lawn camping out tying them
with the anti-Semitism tying them to the
violence that has erupted across college
campuses across the country they tell me
that’s not them they say we we are not a
part of that group are there other
students that they don’t they don’t
they’re not they can’t even they can’t
point to those individuals because they
they speak for the group that is here
sleeping stutting eating on the wlon in
their tents they’ve been here for about
a week and they say the group that is
here is not doing any of that and this
is why they’re having these
conversations with University officials
and and trying to negotiate with them
because they’re not the ones responsible
for that hate that has happened at
certain universities across the country
Jewish students tell me they there’s a
Jewish that I spoke with uh just a few
days ago that that did express some
concern and fear and and and it’s valid
because they did come across that hate
there was they were a part of a group
that was singing uh here on campus and
uh uh some someone kind of covered up
came over to them with a sign uh that
that that was hatef filled and and said
these are the next targets of of of
Hamas that young woman that we spoke to
that said she was face to face with that
person has every right to feel that that
that fear and shouldn’t be harassed on
campus uh do we know who that individual
is we that that held up sign we we we
don’t and and who knows maybe University
officials have already identified that
person uh but this is what the
university is trying to do by by looking
at images and pictures and video that
have that have been taken over the last
week of of these demonstrations and
protest and those incidents that have
become a bit violent trying to identify
those agitators whether they be students
here at the University or from or or or
they may not be Affiliated at all but
they’re trying to identify those
individuals now here at the school you
just heard from house Speaker Mike
Johnson you can you you heard he there
wasn’t a very warm reception the
hundreds and hundreds of students have
gathered here on the step so many
students that they you could see it’s
like it’s a wall it’s a SE of students
leading to the encampment and many of
them booing the house speaker and and en
chanting some other things and uh not
not welcoming the house Speaker uh and
and some of them I can tell from here do
have ties to those students that are at
the encamp and some of them you you
can’t really tell so it’s just it’s
really unclear but a lot of the student
demonstrators that we’ve spoken to say
um that they it’s it’s not they they
they don’t want to be grouped in with
those that are uh causing chaos for
Jewish students here on campus here and
Stephanie did sort of add to uh the
balance here as we just took uh Mike
Johnson’s uh words in in in in the
entirety there uh also Governor Kathy
hokel uh addressed reporters there on
campus saying I think politicizing this
and bringing the Entourage to put a
spotlight on this is only adding to the
division hokel uh went on to say to
reporters a speaker worth the title
should really be trying to heal people
and not divide them so I don’t think
this adds to anything um the governor uh
of New York going on to say um that it
seems to me there’s a lot more
responsibilities and crisis to be dealt
with here in or with in Washington um
I’d encourage the speaker to go back and
perhaps take up the migrant bill the
bill to deal with uh closing the borders
so we can deal with the real crisis that
New York has that’s Governor Kathy hokel
responding uh to house Speaker Mike
Johnson there uh as he is on the steps
of Columbia University uh dealing with
this um standoff between students and
universities but now as you can see
politics coming into the fold the house
Speaker uh the governor of New York um
we are also uh why don’t we speaking of
politics uh why don’t we take it to the
White House because apparently uh our uh
senior White House correspondent Selena
Wang uh has been able to kind of get a a
read on what uh President Biden and his
administration is saying about these
protests Selena you’ve been seeing the
ongoing coverage we’ve been going live
from the campus of USC to UT Austin to
Columbia University
um even to Cal paully uh at this hour
where does the president
stand yeah kir the White House Press
briefing during that they were getting a
lot of tough questions I was pressing
the press secretary about what the
president’s personal reaction is
watching all of this play out and the
Biden Administration they’re clearly
trying to walk a very fine line here
this is a politically very difficult
issue for the president and mind you
speaker Johnson he is going there after
he played a critical role in helping to
pass that massive Aid package which
includes billions of dollars in Aid to
Israel the progressive wing of the
president’s party there was push back
about sending more unconditional Aid to
Israel but I want to read to you a
statement from the White House about the
president’s viewpoint on this and it
says quote we know that this is a
painful moment for many communities we
respect that and we support every
American’s right to peacefully protest
that’s something we’ve been consistent
about but when we witness calls for
violence physical imitate intimidation
hateful anti-semitic rhetoric those are
unacceptable we will denounce them and
the White House president press
secretary today making clear that
staying silent would be to be complicit
so they need to call out when they see
this kind of hateful rhetoric but here I
also just want to mention that what
we’re seeing with speaker Johnson there
it’s really the culmination of months of
House Republicans becoming more forceful
in their criticism of University
campuses across the country in terms of
what they see as not doing enough to
combat anti-Semitism remember it was
only a few months ago when there were
those hearings on anti-Semitism you had
the presidents of Harvard University of
Pennsylvania and MIT there and they were
absolutely grilled and skewered by some
of those House Republicans in fact the
outcry in the Fallout from that led to
the resignation of the president of
Harvard University and of the University
of
Pennsylvania all right Selena Wang there
at the White House Forest appreciated as
we continue to follow uh these standoffs
uh between students and universities and
now uh politicians getting involved from
the house Speaker Mike Johnson on the
steps of Columbia University there to
the governor of New York Kathy hokel
saying he has no right being there let
her uh Focus uh on on her on her State
and then we’re following the live
pictures out of UT Austin where you see
police and riot gear coming in making
arrest this hour and then all the way to
Southern California where we find our
Josh hasell with KABC he’s been
following um the protest there if we
could switch uh to to Josh in Los
Angeles where he’s been covering um the
protest right behind behind him you can
see the encampment there Josh before we
went to the house Speaker I was just
asking you about how high up the chain
has this gone um depending on the campus
there have been calls for
resignations uh for presidents to get
the boot because of these protests and
the violence that have been um the
violence that has taken place on various
campuses uh let us know or give us an
update rather on things there at USC and
how far how far up the chain this has
on well as I was saying this all really
started uh with a specific USC issue
within the last two weeks when their
valedictorian oosa tabasam um she was
scheduled to speak as all valedictorians
do at USC’s uh graduation which is
coming up now in about a week or so uh
and she was asked not to speak um
because of her views and some of the
posts that she had liked and posted um
one of the links was to a document uh
that called for the abolishment of
Israel and she was asked not to speak at
graduation that’s when things really
started here that’s when we actually
started to hear some of those calls uh
for uh some of the top administrators
here uh to to be held accountable now
since that had happened it had never
turned into what we’ve seen earlier
today what have we seen we saw the
Department of Public Safety go into what
really was a peaceful encampment a
solidarity for godau encampment that we
have seen all across the country on
college campuses but once they went in
to take down infrastructure which
included tents and signs that’s when
students uh and I have to say that some
of the protesters here many actually
that I’ve just spoken with recently are
not students people have come from
outside the Campus Community that’s when
they faced off with the Department of
Public Safety it got ugly real fast one
of the students was detained he was
released so things are pretty calm right
now I want to give you just a glimpse of
what the scene is but I can tell you
that that has emboldened the movement
here on the University of Southern
California’s campus this protest when we
first arrived at 10: a.m. Pacific time
this morning was about 80 people now you
can see it’s grown to what feels like
300 plus and uh as we just pan a little
bit to the side you can see there’s just
sort of students gathered all around as
classes and sessions so people are
stopping some are joining in um and we
also have reports that because the
Department of Public Safety here at USC
was is really outnumbered by the amount
of people here that they have called in
the Los Angeles Police Department for
help we know that the LAPD is staging
nearby we don’t know exactly what their
plans are what that looks like there are
fears here that it could get ugly again
real fast but I can tell you that uh
although most of the tents were
confiscated and although most of the
signs were taken away it’s come back as
we just showed you and these students
here and protesters tell tell us that
they are not going away anytime soon so
I can tell you here today it’s been
asking the university to divest uh from
Israel I have not heard those specific
uh calls for uh Carol fol the USC
president to step down or the Provost
but there’s been tension here for a few
weeks as I gave you that context of what
happened with the valorian Kira and so
Josh what exactly are the protests
asking for specifically it do do you see
this as um just sort of a part of what’s
going on ac across the country um I know
that students have been talking to other
students of of similar organizations and
sort of rallying to get these protests
up and going across the country but what
are these students telling you they want
exactly they’re telling us that they
want the university to uh divest uh
separate any connections that the
university has to the state of Israel to
anything connected to the Israeli
government they I’ve asked them for
specifics I’ve not been told what that
looks like in those specifics but a lot
of them are mentioning OA to bosum again
that valadi dictorian they want her to
speak I’ve heard chance here uh today
that said let her speak let her speak
she I’ve not seen her out here today but
she has a figure that uh you know was
already well known on campus and she’s
sort of been a rallying cry for a lot of
students and really the larger Los
Angeles community who supports uh this
movement um to divest from Israel in any
way possible but as we just showed you
uh people are chanting they’re singing
they’re Seated on the ground I also want
to tell you I spoke with a student a
short time ago she told me she’s in
finals but she said that it’s more
important to be out here than take her
finals she she feels like they’re taught
about the world in class and this is the
world happening right in front of her um
and so that’s kind of the scene here and
I also have to reiterate again I was
struck by the number of people who I
interviewed who were adults older
younger not students uh we have been
highlighting these protests throughout
the country we know that there was one
at uh UC Berkeley as far as Los Angeles
this has been the first really active
one and you can tell the Los Angeles
community is coming here to USC’s campus
they have not closed the gates and we’re
told maybe LAPD may be coming as well
Kira well and Josh this is not the first
time we’ve gone to the campus of USC I I
mean when the uh war broke out initially
I mean let’s go back to October 7th when
that uh terrorist attack on behalf of
Hamas uh you know rolled in on that
music festival uh there were protests
happening there on the USC campus and we
started covering um just the student
Uprising that was happening at that
point when we saw students going down
down and ripping down uh the pictures of
hostages uh that had been taken by Hamas
uh the controversy goes back to October
7th on this
campus yeah and there’s actually been an
an agreement um with how the university
back to October 7th and more recent with
the valid dictorian a lot of people on
both sides of this conflict upset with
how the university handled it and I had
some Jewish students come up to me Kira
and they told me we are scared they’ve
made the University’s poor handling of
the situation has uh directed anger at
us and I’ve seen some of those same
students here today um and I have to
tell you that as is many of these
protests we’ve been uh hearing from The
River To The Sea um we’ve been hearing
lepd KKK they’re all the same so some of
the chants that we’re hearing um have
made a lot of the uh students here from
all sides very uncomfortable this is a
divided campus right now tensions are
high and you are right to highlight it
has been that way here since October 7th
things calm slightly and in the last few
weeks reignited and now as I told you
students are missing their finals to be
out here uh to protest the University’s
connections to the state of Israel and
join students from across the
country judge hashel there for us uh
with KABC on the campus of USC really
appreciate your reporting um very much
so uh and if if you are just tuning in
We are continuing to follow these
standoffs uh between students and
universities as this as these protests
grow more intense from campus to campus
from coast to coast uh we are also
following live pictures from UT Austin
our Morgan Norwood has been following
that for us Morgan the University of
Texas division of student affairs now
putting out this statement as we look at
live pictures from that campus um where
police and riot gear have been making
arrests this as well uh the division of
student affairs as we look at these
pictures saying UT Austin does not
tolerate disruptions of campus
activities or operations like we have
seen at other campuses this is an
important time in our semester where
students are finishing classes and
studying for finals and we will act
first and foremost to allow those
critical functions to proceed without
interruption so it seems that things
have calmed a bit there on the UT campus
Morgan what do you know yeah it looks
like things are starting to mellow out
there on the University’s campus UT
Austin I mean you brought up the
statement there from UT division of
student affairs um but I also want to go
back to uh email a letter that we also
got uh as well that was sent out
basically telling the students that were
behind this protest and I’m reading it
uh it says please be advised that you
are not permitted to hold your event on
the University campus any attempt to do
so will subject your organization and
its attending me members to discipline
including suspension
under the institutional rules now it
also goes on to say that you know those
who refuse to comply could be arrested
and that’s exactly what we saw today at
last check 10 people arrested on the
University’s campus there and again all
of this ties back to what we’ve been
seeing all across the country but
specifically um at Colombia the emailed
that um the student group behind uh this
particular protest uh you know sent out
blasting calling on other members to
protest was to stand in solidarity with
the students who were protesting there
uh and Columbia you see them on the
March there at UT it looks like um but
we’ve also seen officers with the riot
gear I mean at one point things got a
little heated and intense you know we
watched as an officer took down uh what
appeared to be someone um you know
behind a police line um so again you
know the email that I just read that
that letter that that seemed to be the
warning from the University right and
then you know what what proceeded to to
some of the arrests that we saw um today
you know one of the things k i I was
listening to the speaker
uh you know address from the from the
steps of of Colombia so what will be
interesting to see if the speaker
comments will impact what we’re seeing
in Texas I mean he did not mince words
he talked about some of the other
protests that have been going on all
across the country and you know
basically calling for the anti-Semitism
to stop you know it it’s unclear you
know we can’t really hear everything
what’s being chanted what’s being said
uh we do of course have Crews there and
we’re trying to get some of this
information back in real time uh but it
does appear that the situation at UT is
starting to mellow out a little bit some
of the other Intel that I’m actually
getting from uh our affiliate ktrk um
which is out of Houston bana Connor a
reporter there she was talking about on
Twitter on on X that social media
platform that UT Dallas um you know the
sister campus had also had some protests
but those seem to be all peaceful so
we’re still uh following up and to see
if there had been any arrest or what the
situation like was like uh within days
prior but then also today um to see if
this maybe
maybe was like a systemwide um
university systemwide type of type of
protest but again um you know things
have we’ve watched as things have at
Point at one point escalated but then
also uh started to shrink a little bit
you know the police uh seem to be out in
forced we were talking about state
troopers there in your riot gear they’re
marching they’ve got their formations as
well we watched as they took down
students um you know and it’s things
that at one point from crw on the ground
there even uh suggesting that some of
the protesters there at one point turned
on police and started yelling at things
at police there but it does appear that
you know things are starting to mellow
out there so we’re of course keeping our
eyes on on how the crowd progresses but
uh yeah that’s the situation there at UT
cir all right sure appreciate it Morgan
thank you so much thanks to our
Stephanie Ramos our Morgan Norwood our
Josh Haskell at KABC just following
these protests from campus to campus we
will continue to follow uh all of these
soffs between students and universities

an ark Carnival is reopened in Los
Angeles after nearly 40 years after it
disappeared from Europe the pop art
amusement park is unique it’s hosting
iconic pieces from Art’s greatest like
Salvador doy and Jean Michelle basat and
that itself sounds amazing right it’s
Resurgence andart thanks to one major
hip-hop artist whose team wanted to
ReDiscover a lost history with the world
in ABC’s Melissa Don takes us
there it was was called the world’s
first art amusement park back in 1987
forgotten and locked away until it was
rescued by Major hip-hop Superstar
Drake Luna Luna conceived by Austrian
showman Andre heler opened on
fairgrounds in Hamburg Germany where
children mounted carousels that were
adorned with masterful artwork when it
was originally shown in Hamburg it was
an amusement park ride that had art and
now I think we get to kind of f focus on
the art and see the amusement in it the
rides featuring artwork by some of the
great modern artists of our time a
ferris wheel designed by graffiti artist
John Michelle Basia a carousel featuring
pop artist Keith herring’s iconic
figures a swing ride spray painted by
California street artist Kenny sharf but
6 weeks later the amusement park
vanished and it was meant to go on tour
but as some of the biggest dreams do you
know it got caught up in I’m sure
Logistics and um contracts and things
just moving it around and going on such
a you know large scale tour this was
stored for 35 years after that it did
not go on tour locked up and stored away
in shipping containers for nearly four
decades until now what was your initial
reaction when you first saw some of the
Luna Luna pieces I blew my mind you like
walked into the old Studio warehouse and
you were just kind of I’m sure it must
feel like how people feel walking into
this space it’s unexpected and not
something you regularly
face this Los Angeles studio is now Luna
Luna’s new Fairgrounds even the rides
are back but only for guests to admire
not ride Drake’s entertainment firm
dream crew acquiring Luna Luna dusting
off the iconic collection more than 35
years after it was forgotten how
influential do you find a Drake and all
this well I mean I don’t think that we
would be able to do this without dream
Crew putting on a production like this
is no small feat and I think that Drake
and and along with all the other
partners are involved in the arts and
culture of which this stands in the
center of that so a huge influence in
the sense of like let’s accomplish
something amazing Autumn Beck is the
collection manager for Luna Luna
forgotten fantasy helping Revitalize
these Priceless works of
art they are Priceless because there’s
not another one that exists this these
are absolutely unique one-of-a-kind
pieces with often you know the hand of
an artist that’s no longer here restores
work to put the pieces literally back
together using friends of Clues and
archival images breathing life back to
these modern
masterpieces including a Salvador Dolly
named Dolly doome attracting guest of
all ages like Sarah and her friends
art is creativity and no matter the
spectrum of art that you’re on you all
are inspired by some sort of pting or
some sort of person from whatever age
closing the gap on a generation and
ensuring art is only a right
away why do you find it so important
that any single person can have access
to Art and learn about it art music all
of that is just the the the juice that
makes life worth living I mean
we we we can’t get lost in Excel
spreadsheets all the time so let’s go do
some fun
things art is the juice that makes life
worth living got to have the juice there
many thanks to Melissa for that report
and you can see the exhibit in La until
May 12th and after that the exhibition

right in the heart of the path of
totality wherever the story is we’ll
take you there you’re streaming ABC News
live I’m Ken wwth here in Los Angeles
and we start with breaking news at this
hour right now on ABC News live police
cracking down on campus protest in
response to the Israel Hamas War there
are tense scenes unfolding at this hour
at universities from coast to coast what
we’re learning about the measures taken
by law enforcement some students uh also
breaking we also have some more breaking
news here we have exclusive new
reporting on the classified documents
case against Donald Trump what sources
are telling ABC news about the Witnesses
in this case and what they have told the
special Council also in Arizona
lawmakers they’re voting to repeal that
near total abortion ban dating back to
the Civil War
[Music]
era but we begin here with campus
protests that are spreading to more
universities in response to the Israel
Hamas War this as police cracked down on
these demonstrations right now these
protesters are rallying again at the
University of Southern California that
is here in Los Angeles uh some of them
though seen earlier clashing with campus
law enforcement uh there’s intense
protests erupting today at the
University of Texas at Austin as well a
police confronting students there
arresting some of them the situation
also incredibly tends at Columbia
University in New York City where
administrators have been holding talks
with the protesters pushing to clear
this encampment from the school’s main
lawn there also Republican house Speaker
Mike Johnson visiting Columbia today
addressing what he says is a troubling
rise in anti-Semitism on college
campuses anti-israel encampments are
popping up at universities all across
this count
country the madness has to stop the
madness has to
stop so we have Team coverage right now
of these protests ABC News Chief
National correspondent Matt Gutman live
for us at USC along with ABC news Tim
pulum here in LA but tracking the
situation in Austin and ABC News
Stephanie Ramos live for us at Columbia
as she has been all week U Matt here
let’s start with you if you can hear me
what’s the situation there at USC and
how our administrators are responding or
are they yet at this
hour there have been a number of
responses Kana it has calmed down
significantly since what we saw earlier
today some pushing as um some of the
tents were taken out of this campus quad
here
um little bit of interaction between uh
campus police and security and students
but right now uh several hundred
students have been here protesting
rather peacefully you can see some signs
and placards there’s some folks on
bullhorns there’s been periodic cheering
but it’s been mostly calm but I want to
show you something uh that we’ve noticed
just over the past couple of minutes
we’re going to round this tree here you
can see this is right in the center of
Campus uh you may be able to notice this
line of campus police and security right
now uh until about 10 minutes ago Ka
they were much farther back they were
completely out of sight but they’ve
moved closer uh apparently the libraries
around the quad here have been shut down
uh campus police closed the campus to
anybody from outside so nobody without
an ID can get into the campus at this
point uh it looks like they’re trying to
shut this down one of the things that
authorities here have been talking about
is that uh that group in there that they
may try to OU um it’s not all students
it’s students faculty and they say about
50% other people um so we’re unclear how
they we’re unsure how they aim to
resolve this but it may happen in the
next hour or so um but I have to say so
far the group inside has been very very
peaceful with uh this protest and
steadfast the numbers have been growing
though over the past couple of hours
that has been clear
Kan all right Matt Gutman reporting uh
for us from USC thank you Matt uh Tim
let’s go to you now attention soring at
UT Austin as well what do we know about
the arrests that were made there
today yeah Kaa so far there’s been 10
arrests at UT Austin and that number
could continue as this face off
continues today we know so far that the
group is demanding Justice for Palestine
students walked out of class this
morning upwards of 200 50 state troopers
were called in to try to disperse the
crowd UT Austin is saying that this
demonstration was not authorized and I
want to read a statement that student
affairs just released not too long ago
it says UT Austin does not tolerate
disruptions of canvas activities or
operations and we will act first and
foremost to allow those critical
functions to proceed without
interruption so right now it seems like
this is still a peaceful standoff but
again 10 people arrested so far just
some incredible images that we are
seeing right now Kaa certainly and a
massive uh police presence there that
happened very quickly as you see them in
their Riot GE let’s check in now with
Stephanie Ramos who’s been covering this
story for us all week long Stephanie
look we saw speaker Johnson there today
uh how are demonstrators reacting to him
being there and what he said it sounds
like we understand they also are up
against this deadline right to reach a
deal in terms of clearing this
encampment exactly Kaa representatives
for the student demonstrators met with
University officials overnight both
sides agreeing that they will continue
their talks for the next 48 hours the
university insisting that they do not
want people who are not affiliated with
Columbia University to camp out here to
be on the west lawn to be here on campus
now as far as the visit from house
Speaker Mike Johnson many of the student
demonstrators telling me just a few
moments ago that they would have liked
an opportunity to speak with him to
share with him why they’re doing what
they’re doing what their message is and
what point they want to get across they
also tell me that they want peace in
Gaza and they wanted him to know that
just because they want peace in Gaza
doesn’t mean they are anti-jewish or
anti-israel so that was the main
sticking point for them right after that
they shared with me right after that
visit from house Speaker Mike Johnson K
all right Stephanie Ramos thank you so
much for your coverage of this I know
we’ll be checking in with you and thank
you to Tim as well and Matt Gutman also
joining us now for the Texas Tribune
education reporter is shad day she is on
campus of the University of Texas there
in Austin thank you so much for joining
us we really appreciate your time I’m
hoping that you can kind of give us an
idea there of what you have been seeing
and hearing throughout the day today and
how quickly it
developed right right so we have seen at
least 20 protesters been arrested for
reference there were about 200 students
that were demanding this divestment when
they started this morning um the law
enforcement officers are doubling so now
we have about a 100 State TR Troopers
that have come in Governor Abbott has
just put out a statement saying that
more arrests will be coming they’re
joined with the city police and campus
police and it looks like the presence of
the campus and uh state and city police
officers are not slowing down the
students in fact they are being embolden
to continue and move
on that idea of them being emboldened
that’s a sentiment that Matt Gutman
shared as well something that he thinks
he’s seeing there on the campus at USC
uh so can you talk to us a little bit
about this especially considering the
fact that I know UT put out a statement
first saying you know they want to act
to protect the educational Mission but
they’re steadfast in their support of
free speech
yeah they are not slowed down uh the
students that I have talked to say that
they feel like the police um involvement
has been aggressive and not appropriate
um and they are going to continue um
there have been multiple efforts to make
um the crowd disperse and that has not
been
successful and instead as you mentioned
you think that the state troopers the
number of them has at least doubled and
you mentioned that the governor has
assured there will be more arrests there
uh we want to check in with you
throughout the day thank you so much for
your reporting and your time with us
thank you thank you of course we have
some other breaking news now at this
hour ABC News exclusive reporting here
on the classified documents cased
against Donald Trump sources revealing
what Witnesses have told special counsel
Jack Smith’s team about Trump’s handling
of sensitive material while he was still
president now according to these sources
the witnesses include an array of former
advisors and officials who described how
he raised concerns among those around
him bringing classified documents to
these unsecured locations are responding
angrily to intelligence that they say he
didn’t want to hear and at one point
they alleged he posted a highly
classified image on Twitter ABC News
senior reporter kathern falers helped
break this story along with our
investigative team Katherine thank you
for being here with us and let’s Jump
Right In Here look uh Trump of course
has pleaded not guilty in this case has
repeatedly denied any wrongdoing but
what more can you tell us about who
these Witnesses are and how they’re help
helping Jack Smith build his case here
Jack Smith’s team has talked to
essentially everybody here including as
you say those advisers in the White
House and this is important because it’s
not just his personal assistance or
press assistance it’s everybody from
National Security officials his personal
valet even his Former Intelligence
briefers for example and they paint this
picture of how Trump handled classified
information while still president so
much of this investigation so far or at
least what’s been revealed about Smith’s
investigation is all talking about how
how did Trump handle information after
he left the White House when he brought
those documents in those boxes from the
White House to maral laga where
obviously it was not authorized to be
stored but it hasn’t focused on inside
the White House and it’s significant
because it develops this pattern of
behavior by Trump where where learning
that aids through sources have told the
special counsel that Trump had a
Cavalier attitude um with sensitive
information and the Damage that could be
done by its disclosure um we our sources
tell us that one official who spoke to
Smith said quote I’m did not think he
respected what classified information
was so it shows this multi-pronged
approach by Smith he wanted to establish
Trump’s past Behavior while in the White
House wanted to understand how those
documents that ended up in the storage
room at Marl Lago got there and how they
got in those boxes originally when he
was in the white house so many questions
here but also Katherine in regards to
this picture right that Trump posted in
2019 of this Iranian light launch site
look this has been litigated publicly
but it sounds sounds like in this
reporting his advisers had very clear
concerns that this picture itself would
actually reveal the US satellite
capabilities that could put you know
national interests at stake and he was
told that by senior officials Trump said
at the time that he wanted to tweet out
that image and advisors scrambled to get
an answer from the experts from people
who understood more about the potential
harmful nature that it could have a
national security so while of course
that was happening Trump then tweeted
out the the image anyway this sent a lot
of his National Security advisers into a
tail spin we have one official through
our sources at least telling Jack Smith
quote it was so upsetting and people
were really angry this reporting Kaa
underscores all of this obviously is
handling of classified information while
in the white house but also really
underscores what’s potentially at stake
here as he is set to receive
intelligence briefings as being the
Republican nominee certainly all right
kathern falers our thanks to you and our
entire investigative team for that
reporting we turn now to the battle over
abortion access in the Arizona State
Legislature three Republicans joining
Democrats to pass a house bill repealing
Arizona’s 1864 near ban on abortion the
bill now headed to their state senate
this as a divided US Supreme Court is
now considering a restrictive law in
Idaho that could have sweeping
implications for the future of how women
receive emergency medical care in all 50
states the case before the justices
Idaho’s near total abortion ban against
a federal law that mandates emergency
care for those in need meaning that
hospitals have to provide abortion
access if a woman’s life is endangered
uh we begin with this breaking news out
of Arizona though let’s check in with
ABC News Jaclyn Lee She’s live for us in
Phoenix so uh Jacqueline look this is
the third week in a row uh the Democrats
have tried to hold a hearing on this
repeal of this Civil War era law uh how
did that all play out what
happened that’s right Ka a big twist
today because we were not expecting
three Republicans to join with Democrats
to pass this bill in the house uh the
Democrats only needed two uh but
ultimately we had three Republicans join
uh and you know house Speaker Ben Tomo
who’s a republican who has been very
strong in his support for this 1864 law
said that he is very disappointed he
says that having unrestricted access to
abortion is not health care now after
the vote we did speak with house
representative Stephanie stall Hamilton
she is the bill spor she is a Democrat
and she said she was not surprised that
this happened she said she knew the
votes were there and she said she spoke
with multip multiple Republicans last
night on the phone she wouldn’t detail
what exactly was said on the phone but
she said she was cautiously optimistic
and she is grateful they lived up to
this moment so take a listen we’re in a
moment I mean this is a real moment the
eyes of the world were watching Arizona
and that’s not hyperbole that and so you
know these These are decisions that we
need to make for our people and I think
if you were to talk to some of these
folks and talk to people in their
districts you would find that this is an
issue where they are showing up and
representing the people in their
district and and that’s what they were
elected to
do and Republican Tim dun just sent out
a statement he voted with Democrats he
said the reason why is because the law
was not perfect he said it did not
include exceptions for rape and incest
which ultimately is why he voted with
Democrats today K that’s what suway his
vote Jaclyn Lee there in Arizona thank
you so much I now want to check in with
our ABC senior Washington reporter Devon
DWI who was in the supreme court this
morning during arguments and he joins us
now with more
Devin K it was the first time the
Supreme Court took up the issue of
abortion rights since they overturned
Row versus Wade two years ago and today
at the center of this case was the state
of Idaho’s abortion ban which Outlaws
the procedure unless the life of the
mother is at risk a federal law enacted
by Congress in 198 6 mandates that all
hospitals that treat women in emergency
situations provide stabilizing care for
them regardless of the situation the
federal government says that must
include abortion even in states where
it’s banned when the health of the woman
is at risk for over two hours today the
justice has wrestled with this there was
no clear ideological break no clear
consensus around what to do about these
types of laws which exist in 14 other
states but it was really the women
justices who were defining
uh this debate today uh Kaa there was a
lot of concern about women in difficult
pregnancy situations in crisis making
sure that they could get the care they
need and not be harmed but the
conservative justices on this course
also very cognizant of the ability of
States Kaa to set their own medical
policies to set their own abortion laws
to not be trumped by the federal
government and so balancing those two uh
interests will be the key to answering
this case and it seemed very clear today
that it will come down to three justices
in the middle Chief Justice John Roberts
Bret Kavanaugh and Amy Cony Barrett a
staunch opponent of abortion rights but
today flashing her support for women in
these very difficult Pregnancy Crisis

Kaa all right Deon dwire thank you so
much ioun you President Joe Biden today
signing that long delayed 95 billion
foreign aid package it will send
military aid to Ukraine Israel and Taw
Taiwan while setting up a potential Tick
Tock ban in the United States if the
apps parent company doesn’t sell the
platform the president praising
lawmakers for passing that legislation
after months of gridlock saying that it
sends a message to the world about the
power of American
leadership it’s a good day for America
it’s a good day for Europe and it’s a
good day for world peace for real this
is
consequential I just signed in the law
the National Security package that was
passed by the House of Representatives
this weekend and by the Senate yesterday
it’s going to make America safer it’s
going to make the world safer and it
continues America’s leadership in the
world all right Senators reached this
final hurdle last night in a 79 to 18
vote the measure had faced major
opposition from some Hardline
Republicans in the house those against
the foreign aid package argue that the
US should focus on the immigration
crisis at the southern border first I
want to bring in ABC News senior White
House correspondent Selena Wang for more
on this so Selena look the President
says the US can start sending Aid
overseas within the next few hours what
more do we know about how that’s based
in this Aid package how it’s all laid
out yeah Kanan I mean this really
delivers a Lifeline to Ukraine they’ve
been running out of ammunition this is
going to resupply their defenses and it
could help slow those Russian advances
as you say the president said he’s going
to be delivering this immediately as
soon as possible in the next few hours
it’s going to include ammunition it’s
going to include Munitions for Defense
Artillery rocket systems and armored
vehicles and also getting confirmation
from the White House today that the
president had secretly ordered a
shipment of those long range attack and
missiles to Ukraine for the first time
those have already been shipped to
Ukraine and when I asked the National
Security adviser if more of those
missiles are going to be sent to Ukraine
as a result of this $60 billion Aid
package for Ukraine being passed he said
they will send more but for operational
security purposes he wouldn’t give me a
specific number now the president in his
remarks today he didn’t mention that
other critical part of this bill which
is that potential Tik Tok ban it would
ban the app if if its Chinese owner bite
dance doesn’t find a buyer within a year
Kaa all right Selena Wang there from the
White House thank you so much and coming

here where Hamas is releasing new video

picture of this video this is hirsh
Goldberg Poland he was captured during
hamas’s initial attack at that Music
Festival on October 7th we’re only
showing you this still image here but
you can see uh in the video that his
left arm has been amputated it’s been
amputated at the forearm and we know
from his family that he suffered a
serious injury to that arm before he was
captured our ABC News foreign
correspondent Tom Sufi burd actually
spoke with his parents uh just last
month uh so Tom thank you for being here
with us today you’re joining us there
from Jerusalem uh look right now Tom we
know it’s unclear when exactly this
video that Hamas released was filmed uh
but so far what are we able to gain from
this video that was
released yeah Kana I mean look hsh
Goldberg pin in this video is clearly
talking under Jess he is saying the type
of things that Hamas would want him to
say and that’s not why we’re not showing
very much of the video at all across any
of our platforms but look it does give
us some Clues he talks about the war
nearly being 200 days old that gives us
a a sense a suggestion even though we
can’t be sure that the video was
recorded fairly recently as you say we
can see that he he doesn’t have his left
arm we know that Hamas militants
terrorists threw grenades into the
shelter where he was trying to evade
capture he was at the NOA music festival
in southern Israel on October the 7th
and was then taken into Gaza I mean look
there’s I think there’s a sense of
relief from his parents tonight I mean
it must be hugely traumatic for a mom
and a dad to watch that video of their
son in captivity after 200 days but for
them it is the first real confirmation
that he is alive and I sat down with
John and Rachel last month they are the
bravest bravest people uh take a

streaming on
Hulu the major victory for abortion
rights supporters in Arizona as a
supreme court weighs a case on emergency
procedures in a different state I’m Kaa
Whitworth here in Los Angeles and that
is is our big story today starting in
Arizona where State lawmakers moving to
repeal that near total abortion ban
dating back to the Civil Rights era we
have the breakdown of that vote for you
but also how the Supreme Court Justices
responded to arguments in a legal battle
over a strict abortion ban in Idaho also
in our Spotlight President Biden signing
that massive forign a package into law
including this proposed Tick Tock ban
our panel weighs in on the allocation of
those tens of billions of taxpayer
dollars and what could happen if time
turns out for Tik
[Music]
Tok all right we begin with our big
story here in the Battle of abortion
access starting in Arizona the state
legislature there uh three Republicans
joining Democrats to pass this house
bill that repeals Arizona’s 1864 near
ban on abortion near total ban uh that
bill is now headed to their state senate
uh this is happening as there’s a
divided US Supreme Court that’s
considering a restrictive law in Idaho
that could have sweeping implications
for the future of how pregnant women
receive emergency medical care in all 50
states uh the case before the justices
pits Idaho’s near total abortion ban
against federal law that mandates
emergency care for those in need which
means that hospitals have to provide
abortion access if a woman’s life is
endangered so joining me for more on
this is our ABC News legal contributor
uh Kim wayy Kim thank you so much for
being here with us so first I’m hoping
we can start with what’s going on in the
Supreme Court today uh can you lay out
the arguments today of what’s going on
with this Emergency Care in Idaho
because we know the Biden Administration
says there’s a problem here uh but Idaho
says that their laws in essence have no
restrictions on emergency abortion
care well that’s not true under the text
of the law so there’s a federal law
Congress passed years ago that
essentially ensures that if you have
some kind of life-threatening or
emergency that could affect your health
in a serious way cause organ failure or
other long-term damage and you show up
at a at a hospital the emergency room
has to treat you uh the Idaho abortion
ban says if you’re pregnant and you have
an emergency they can only give you an
abortion if that’s what’s required by
your doctors if it’s life-threatening so
there’s that Delta Cana between some
kind of conditions that maybe don’t mean
you’re going to die but could render you
infertile or cause some kind of organ
failure or bleeding or things like that
it’s that kind of condition if you need
an abortion that under Idaho law right
now is banned and the Biden
Administration is saying listen under
the Constitution federal law supersede
state law when it comes to something
like this and that’s at the heart of
this case in addition to care for women
and girls who are pregnant in Idaho and
need emergency
treatment and Kim when you’re watching
the Supreme Court debate this and we
hear from Devon DWI it doesn’t appear
that they’re split down these
ideological lines here in the Supreme
Court all and in fact he said he’s
closely watching uh Roberts Kavanaugh
and Barrett and how they are receiving
these
arguments well yeah so was clear that
you the other men on the court um are
definitely in on Idaho Idaho side
Justice Barrett was asking questions
she’s the only one on the court who’s
actually been pregnant and given birth I
should say given birth for sure um so
she obviously has some personal
experience in that Kavanagh and the
Chief Justice held their cards a little
closer to their vest um Justice
was probing this this question as to
whether there’s a separation between
Idaho law and federal law I think that
that was pretty well resolved and
Justice the Chief Justice remember he
was pushing in dobs for a 15-week line
row was 24 weeks protection for
pregnancy Justice uh justice Roberts was
pushing for 15 weeks so he wasn’t as to
the far right as the other justices but
Kaa there’s so much writing on this um
that frankly I have to hope that one of
those two men or both of them will side
with the federal government in the
established Congressional law protecting
women uh if they need emergency
treatment short of near
death and Kim I mean when you look at
the Crux of this is this a legal issue
about abortion rights here or is it
really about widening the legal scope of
Emergency Care uh federally funded uh
when it comes to
abortions well you know the the sort of
the women the justices on the court were
making that point they’re basically
saying for any other illness that that
you have or any other condition there’s
no question that you they they can’t
dump that’s the word dump you to another
state send you in another state saying
we won’t treat you and what’s happening
is there are women being airlifted on
helicopters out of Idaho to other states
to get this this critical care but as
you indicate Kaa if the Court decides
listen if federal law is optional in
this moment for abortion what are the
Cascade effects in other contexts where
federal law has given money to the
states with certain conditions
and the if the states can disregard the
conditions in certain circumstances what
does that do for the relationship
between federal law in the states the
again the implications of this are
Beyond abortion um but it’s abortion
once again that has upset the alart uh
for a lot of these established
principles under the
Constitution all right Kim uh don’t go
anywhere I want to bring the rest of the
panel to us for more on this discussion
so thank you for that and bringing our
our big story here to everybody else
ABC’s Jaclyn Lee is join us she’s in
Phoenix covering the Arizona State
Legislature again as that state debates
their 1864 near total ofan on abortion
along with our Democratic strategist Kon
shov and ABC News contributor and former
assistant us attorney and former
congressman John katco uh so Jacqueline
let’s start here with you I mean Kim and
I were just talking about what’s going
on in Supreme Court but let’s talk about
this on a local level where you’re at
there in Arizona uh we just have news
about what happened in the state
legislature there can you bring us up to
speed that’s right Kaa a big twist today
because house Dem Democrats only needed
two Republicans to join their ranks to
pass this bill they actually had three
Republicans do so uh so we have so far
heard from two Republicans who joined
Democrats one of whom said the reason
why he switched his vote is because the
law the 1864 law did not provide
exceptions for rape and incest and then
the other Republican who joined he said
that he encouraged his Senate colleagues
to take up the matter quickly we also
had a one-on-one conversation with
Stephanie stall Hamilton she’s a
democratic uh House member who sponsored
this bill she said she was not surprised
that they were able to pass this bill
today she said she had several
conversations last night with
Republicans that left her cautiously
optimistic and she said overall that
they lived up to this moment K
now and so as we know that that’s how
that played out you just heard Kim
jacine talk about um you know the
cascading effects of some of the
decisions that we see at the federal
level we see them at the state level as
well so I want to ask you Jacqueline
about California governor Gavin Newsome
announcing his new legislation today
that would permit Arizona doctors to
provide reproductive care in
California yes so he has been speaking
about this for the last few days um and
today was when he held that big press
conference announcing that legislation
he says he wants California to be a safe
haven for those healthc care providers
in Arizona who are not able to provide
abortions to their C uh to their
patients as a result of this law so what
this legislation would allow them to do
is to provide that care in California uh
you know he called the 1864 law
Draconian and he wants to be able to
save as many lives as possible when it
comes to women who may need to have that
abortion to save themselves obviously a
very difficult situation overall K now
all right Jacqueline thank you so much
and so K on to you uh when we staying in
Arizona uh there’s a lot of expectation
the Democrats in Arizona will put a have
a ballot initiative that will enshrine
abortion rights in November but Kon
we’re now hearing that Republicans might
also flood that November ballot with
abortion related related measures uh
what’s your take on
that well look we’ve already seen that
in every state red or blue where
abortion has been on the ballot
Democrats have won a recent example
worth noting in Alabama a special
election where a Democrat fle flipped a
deep red seat by running on protecting
IVF so I think this is going to continue
to be a winning issue for Democrats and
actually if you look at last night in
those Pennsylvania primary results I
think it’s interesting you saw up to 70%
17% protest vote against Trump in the
suburbs and other places that he
expected to do better voting for Haley
who had a much more moderate position on
the issue so I think that tells us a lot
about where even the the middle voter is
on this
issue right and as jacqulyn pointed out
even within Arizona’s legislature uh
they still had more Democrats support
this repeal than they needed uh today
even though they’ve debated it for about
3 weeks uh but John I’d love to get your
take on this plan here that we’re
hearing Republicans might flood this
November ballot with these other
abortion related
measures well because they reading the
same polls that Kayon and others are
referring to and let’s face it this is
not a winning issue in a general
election now there’s no saying when I
was in Congress you know the less you
talk about abortion the better and
that’s just not the case now the Supreme
Court’s dealing with a a big case
Arizona’s dealing with it you know other
other states it’s on the ballot now in
the fall in Florida this is a terrible
issue for democrats for Republicans
rather and if Biden gets reelected
abortion will be a very big part of his
re-election no
question and so Kim we’ve been talking a
lot about the politics of this let’s
talk about the practicality of it I mean
there are Hospital groups that sake
himim they have already reported
increased difficulty in hiring OBGYNs
and Emergency Room Physicians in states
with these restrictive abortion laws so
Kim if we go back to the Supreme Court
decision on this case that further
affect emergency practice across the
country yes and and providers are
leaving the state of ID Idaho because
here’s the thing Kaa The the issue isn’t
whether you do or not get an abortion
based on the line between debt near
death and organ failure the question is
who gets to decide if a doctor decides
listen this patient is near death I’m
going to do it in compliance with the
Idaho law and this came up today an oral
argument and a prosecutor disagrees with
that do doctor that doctor could face
prison time or at least uh be broiled in
the criminal justice system no medical
provider probably wants to take that
risk and wants to hand over their
judgment to uh to someone who’s not even
a physician and so that’s the problem
they’re being scared and intimidated
from providing this CR this critical
care and at the end of the day it’s
women who need that who are going to
lose even if technically they should
have gotten the care under the the very
difficult and draconi and Idaho law
all right well Kim John kyvon and
Jacqueline thank you so much for your
time today and coming up next year
President Biden signs a crucial foreign
aid package into law that could impact

[Music]
here right in our Spotlight the long
delayed 95 billion foreign aid package
AG signed by President Biden today it
will send military aid to Ukraine Israel
and Taiwan while putting a potential Tik
Tock ban in the US on the table the
president praising lawmakers overall for
passing this legislation after months of
gridlock saying that it sends a message
to the world about the power of American
leadership but now that clock is ticking
for the parent company of Tik Tock the
newly signed law would ban the Chinese
own platform unless it sells its Stak so
that would give bite dance 9 months to
sell that app and a possible 3month
extension if a sale is in progress I
want to bring back my panel here Kon
John and joining us is ABC News
contributor and Abed columnist for the
LA Times LZ Granderson and ABC News
contributor and serus XM radio host Mike
Muse so thank you all for being here
with us and LZ let’s start here with you
look President Biden said in terms of
this Aid package he says it underscores
America’s influence on the global stage
and that quoting him here he says shows
we stand up against dictators what’s
your take on what the President says
said well I think if you look at these
pieces of this legislation individually
absolutely it looks as if you’re trying
to handle different regions around the
world from different perspectives but if
you look at it holistically which I did
what I really see is the Biden
Administration being very aggressive in
its Escala escalation of a proxy war
really with China and I’m not just
talking about Tik Tock if you remember
you know CH the Chinese government was
really important to Russia when the
sanctions came after they invaded
Ukraine and then when you started
thinking about the Taiwan part of it and
then obviously the relationship with
Iran I can’t help but to see this all as
one big move before secretary blinkin
has to China this week to let China know
specifically the strength in us while
also in the larger context yes
exercising us diplomacy and Power in
terms of getting this AG package
through and K on to you what’s your take
here on this for8 package I mean a lot
of people view it as significant bip
part effort here uh but when you see
these lawmakers in both Chambers both
sides of the aisle pass this legislation
finally especially to get crucial Aid
out to Ukraine Israel and Taiwan do you
see that as a as a Kumbaya moment if you
will I think it’s a big moment it’s a
little late and I do think that speaker
Johnson has harmed Ukraine by delaying
and playing these games I also would CH
challenge anyone to really think of what
other figure in our divided times in
2024 could lead us to this
overwhelmingly bipartisan outcome but
Joe Biden I can’t think of anyone so I
do think that’s important I think
reigning in Tik Tok is equally important
my concern is what does that mean for
the rest of the digital Public Square
landscape because Instagram’s cracking
down on politics obviously Elon Musk is
using Twitter to amplify disinformation
and white supremacist so not a lot of
good options
still John what’s your take on that does
does President Biden get the credit for
this or does speaker Johnson get the
credit for this and a lot of people
think you know he put his job on the
line for this and it was Democrats
though that helped him get it
through I I think there’s a lot of
people got credit for it both of those
that you mentioned not to mention
Schumer and McConnell in the Senate I
mean they all understood the importance
of this package individually and
collectively and I think it’s great that
they finally put down their swords and
you know kudos to Johnson uh for uh
putting his head on The Chopping Block
to do what’s right instead of worrying
about his job and he might just survive
because of it ironically ask for TI Tock
I mean Others May disagree but I was
subject to an awful lot of debriefings
while I was in Congress that were
classified about Tik Tock now I can tell
you that the concerns are real and no
one’s telling Tik Tok about a business
just find a new owner and that’s all
they’re asking them to do and I think
that’s a legit concern and a legit
conclusion yeah and Mike I love your
take on Tik Tok here I mean when you
think about it do you view it as as
concerns for National Security but
there’s also the argument that uh they
some say it would limit free speech for
for Americans many people use Tik Tok
it’s a livelihood for a lot of people as
well K I was hoping you wouldn’t make me
uh follow John cator right there because
he’s always has to flex with the secret
briefings that he that he gets top
secret top
secret but with that still being said
Kana the reason why as you know I have
such distrust with this measure is
because of how it initially began and
last year when the Tik Tok CEO was
brought before Congress during the
rounds of questioning came I began to
recognize that Congressional members
just doesn’t understand how Tik Tok
works or the implications of it we keep
hearing words such as propaganda such as
election interference but we also too
heard the same thing around X formul on
his Twitter we also heard the same thing
about Facebook now meta when it came to
Russia interference so we’re constantly
hearing our adversaries could possibly
spread uh propaganda and interference
when it comes to our social media
platforms and we also too know that our
adversaries are possibly I will LIF here
what John has it says about this but can
also too provide cyber attacks against
us too as well with our infrastructure
with our grid system our water and so
there’s so many other ways that
adversary can attack us so the really
focus on Tik Tok I still don’t
understand why the urgency of it is and
then from a political space they’re
going to have a tough time both either
speaker Johnson from the Republican
party or Biden the Democrat Party trying
to convince all those Americans who
depend on it for their livelihood for
small business for marketing and for
promotion what says to them when they
come in November and then Ka who’s going
to be able to afford uh the purchase of
Tik Tok they’re worth hundreds of
billions of dollars so that’s a question
that too as well there is it is a messy
messy pile of questions yeah I just want
to say just to um perhaps answer one of
Mike’s questions in terms of why
specifically Tik Tok it is my
understanding that uh the Chinese
government requires companies like Tik
Tok to share information they collect
and so that’s why specifically Tik Tok
has sort of been in the in the in the
Viewpoint right now specifically because
the Chinese government requires
basically
spying Mike
um I disagree I know we’re press for a
time I disagree with that yeah there’s a
lot to talk about here and we will
continue to talk about this I assure you
so thank you everybody LZ Kon John and
Mike stay with us don’t go anywhere

okay it’s time now for our last call
here football Superstar Reggie Bush is
getting his Heisman Trophy back the
former USC star running back won the
trophy in 2005 but was forced to give it
up in 2010 when an NCAA probe found that
he and his family received improper
benefits during his college career well
a lot has changed in college sports
since then with the players that are now
eligible to be paid under the name image
and likeness deal so I want to bring
back my panel here to talk about this uh
LZ what’s your opinion here do you think
this was a long time coming that he
finally got it back should have never
been taken Kana should have never been
taken in the first place everyone knew
the hypocrisy that was happening he was
a sacrificial lamb to try to protect the
ncaa’s business interest and now the you
know the the Oz has been found uh the
curtain has been removed and we all see
this all been smoking mirrors This is
BS well he he he’s going to get it back
right and USC gets the trophy back as
well the Heisman Trophy John what’s your
take well Bob Dyan famously saying The
Times They Are are changing and NCAA
lscape is changing rapidly I’m really
happy for Reggie Bush he deserves what
he that trophy he earned it and you know
what nca’s trying to hang on and they’re
in trouble they’re getting sued left and
right and I wouldn’t be surprised to see
them gone in a few years in a totally
different collegate landscape so the
times are changing Big Time interesting
and Kon what’s your take some are saying
you know the Heisman Trust itself should
get the credit here for giving it back
well I think I agree with my colleagues
long overdue but I think it’s nice to
see some accountability some correcting
a past wrong you know they could have
just stayed silent and not acted and I
think these days we see people so
entrenched so I’m glad that they’ve
corrected to keep up with Changing Times
you know and a lot of people have been
arguing on his side none louder than
Johnny Manzel Mike uh very true um I
love that Bob Dylan got brought into
this Reggie Bush conversation John so
that was
cool though that is true but kayen when
you think about it I really do think
that this was the empasis that really
got the ball moving about should student
athletes be paid and what does that look
like so I really think that was part of
the push to get to this nil’s
perspective right
