Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is your twenty four to seven use update the
latest views this hour. In just four minutes, the White
House says Iran must open the Strait of horror moves immediately.
Pro Secretary Caroline Levitt said today reports about Iran closing
the strait and responds to Israeli strikes in Lebanon or false.
Then also called for the strait to be reopened immediately.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
That is completely unacceptable, and again this is a case
of what they're saying publicly is different privately. We have
seen an uptick of traffic in the Strait today and
I will reiterate the President's expectation and demand that the
Strait of her Moose is reopened immediately, quickly and safely.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
She also said the press has been falsely reporting about
a proposed Iranian peace plan. Levitt said Oran put forth
a new, entirely reasonable and condensed plan after President Trump
rejected the first one. Levitt also said messages are being
relayed to President Trump privately that the strait is open,
but Levitt would not say who is sending those messages.
Stocks are surging on Wall Street due to the ceasefire,
(01:00):
up over fourteen hundred points at times today. The SP
five hundred and Nasdaq have been up over two percent
as well. Former ag Pam Bondi will not appear for
a House Oversight Committee deposition in the Epstein Files investigation.
The DOJ says she was subpoened as Attorney General and
is no longer required to comply after leaving the role.
This comes after Bondi was fired by President Trump last week.
(01:20):
Committee democrats argue that Bondi was subpoated by name and
remains legally obligated to testify. Officials say they'll 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. A man known as the Giggle Beach
murderer is pleading guilty to seven murders in New York
to date back to the early nineties and admitted to
(01:42):
killing an eighth victim. Rex Huerman was in court today
on Long Island, where he pleaded guilty to the seven counts,
as well as admitting publicly as part of a plea deal,
to killing Karen Viergatta. Prosecutor say Heureman is expected to
get three consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole
in some of the murders, along with other consecutive life
sentences of one hundred years to life for other killings.
(02:04):
Chris Krasio. Utah is ranked the top state in the
country for remote work, according to a new report. A
study by wallet Hub sites Utah's low electricity costs, affordable internet,
and high access to broadband as key factors. Analysts also
point to the states larger than average homes with about
twenty five hundred square feet, giving workers more space to
(02:25):
work from home. The report says about eighteen percent of
Utahn's currently work remotely, while more than ninety five percent
could do so in the future. Delaware, Connecticut, Maryland, and
Massachusetts round out the top five states. A woman accused
of stalking and attacking musician Lindsey Buckingham has been charged
with several felonies in southern California. More from Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
On March twenty fifth, Michelle Dick was arrested in Santa
Monica throwing a substance at the musician. According to Rolling Stone,
she's facing seven counts, including assault with a deadly weapon
involving a motor vehicle and fellony vandalism. Buckingham was granted
(03:10):
a restraining order against Dick in twenty twenty four. The
singer relentis that she's been harassing him since twenty twenty one.
Are Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Angels designated hitter Jorge Solair could be facing a suspension
after starting a bench clearing brawl last night. He charged
the mound in the fifth inning after Brave's pitcher Ronaldo
Lopez threw high and inside. Angels manager Kurtzuzuki weighs in,
so I.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Know he's part of the game. I know what happens.
But you know, I know, guys, you know you asked.
Any hitter Paul gets thrown near their head, you know,
especially after hitting a homer, you know it's not good.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
In the third inning, Lopez threw a pitch that hits
so Lair in the arm. In the fifth, so Lair
glared at Lopez before charging the mound and throwing several punches. Lopez,
who was still holding the baseball and wearing his glove,
squared up and landed a shot on so Lair. A
few players and Atlanta manager Walt Weiss then tackled so Lair,
who was ejected along with Lopez as the Braves won
the game seven to two. I'm Chris Karagio.
