Speaker 1 (00:04):
This hour in just four minutes. Stocks are seeing a
surge on Wall Street today. It comes after President Trump
announced a two week ceasefire with Iran. The ceasefire comes
under the condition that the Straight of horn Moves will
be reopened to oil shipping in the Persian Gulf. The
Dow Jones has been up over fourteen hundred points at
times today. President Trump says there may be a joint
(00:27):

Hormor Moves. The President told ABC news is Jonathan Carl
that we're thinking of doing it as a joint venture
when asked if he approved of Iran's plan to charge

astronauts aboard the Artemis two mission are coming back home.

evening at about five pm local time. Pam Bondi will
not appear for a House Oversight Committee deposition next week,
as the Jeffrey Epstein Files investigation continues. Tony Waterman reports this.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Refusal to appear before the panel seems to hinge on
a technicality, the Justice Department telling the Oversight Committee that
Bondi was subpoened in her capacity as Attorney General, and
since she's no longer in that post, she won't appear
at the April fourteenth deposition.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Bondy was fired by President Trump last week. Committee democrats
argue that Bondi was subpoenated by name and remains legally
obligated to testify. Official say they will contact her personal
attorney to determine next steps. The panel could hold Bondy
in contempt or pursue a criminal referral if she refuses
to comply. Rex Huerman, also known as the accused Gilgo
(01:44):
Beach murderer, was in court today on Long Island. He
pleaded guilty to seven counts of murder and admitted publicly
as part of a plea deal, to killing an eighth victim.

sentences without the possibility of parole. In some of the
murders and other consecutive life sentences of one hundred years
to life for other murders of Chris Kragio. NASA is
(02:07):

the entire dark side of the Moon. Urion spacecraft is
now headed back to Earth and is due to splash
down in the Pacific near San Diego early Friday evening.
The congressional seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Green has been
(02:28):
filled by another Republican. Georgia voters elected Clay Fuller on
Tuesday by a fifty six to forty four percent margin
over Democrat Sean Harris in the deeply read fourteenth congressional district.
The election was a special run off to a place
screen who resigned at the beginning of the year after
a falling out with President Trump. A UFO expert known
as the real life Fox Molder has died. Mark Mayfield
(02:50):
fills us in.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Nick Pope was often compared to the X Files character
because of his investigations into aerial phenomena and ran a
classified UFO for projects for the UK Ministry of Defense
in the nineteen nineties. Later in life, he became a
media expert on UFOs, appearing frequently on the series Ancient
Aliens and consulting on sci fi films. On Monday, his
wife confirmed that he had passed away at their home
(03:12):
in Tucson, Arizona, after a battle with cancer. Nick Pope
was sixty years old.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
In and Out Burger will not adopt online ordering and
pick up company owner Lindsay Snyder Ellingson made that announcement
during a recent talk at Pepperdine University. Snyder Ellingson was
asked if In and Out ever intends to embrace automation.
She said no, explaining she wants to keep the company
running the way her grandparents founded it. She also says
mobile ordering would take a piece of In and Out's
(03:38):
culture away, mentioning interactions in customer service, and could also
jeopardize freshness. Texas has become the national hub for testing
driverless big rigs. Johnasparza, who heads up the Texas Trucking Association,
says there's a good reason why. He says there are

or ice. The autonomous trucks, he says, are safer than
(03:58):
human drivers, who needs sleep and food to stay on track.
