ever for this time of year. AAA reports the national
average is around $ 4. 15 a gallon. Meantime, the TSA is

holiday weekend. The NTSB's recovered the flight data and audio
(00:32):
recorders from that deadly plane crash at Miami International Airport Sunday.
Five people were killed, five others injured when an Amazon
cargo plane went off the runway while landing. NTSB Chairwoman

Speaker 3 (00:49):
I would describe it in one word of devastating.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hamidi says it slammed into a van with several people inside,
then a Toyota Corolla while sliding 1,500 feet past the
paved surface. There were incidents of violence before and during
Monday's West Indian Day parade in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Andrew

Speaker 4 (01:09):

metal detectors... Earlier in the day, three men were stabbed
(01:29):
at two crime scenes near Javert celebrations. There are reports
of two other people stabbed at or near the festivities.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Hunter Biden says he's launching a new meme coin called
Slap Top, a nod to the long-running political controversy surrounding
his personal laptop. The debut, first reported by the Wall
Street Journal, was teased with a video montage of news
clips and political commentary. Reports say the token will launch Wednesday.
Meme coins carry no intrinsic value but often spike on
(01:57):
social media buzz. Similar coins promoted by President Trump and
First Lady Melania Trump surged briefly before collapsing. I'm Scott Carr.
The family of Celeste Rivas Hernandez is calling for the
death penalty for singer David. Today would have been her
16th birthday, Tuesday marking one year since her remains were
found in the trunk of a Tesla in a Hollywood
(02:19):
tow yard. Her family tells the California Post the death
penalty would be perfect for this kind of human being. David,
whose real name is David Burks, accused of having a
sexual relationship with a girl, killing her after she threatened
to come forward, and dismembering her body. The L.A. County D.A.
's office is weighing whether to pursue the death penalty
against Burk if he's convicted. A parole hearing for the
(02:40):
Menendez brothers is now tentatively scheduled for March of 2027.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
That's more than a year earlier than initially expected. Eric
and Lyle Menendez, who are in a San Diego prison
for the shotgun murders of their parents in 1996, had
been eligible to apply for a parole suitability hearing in
August 2028. The California Board of Parole Hearing granted the
earlier date, citing a provision in Proposition 9. In 2025,
the Menendez brothers were resentenced from life to 50 years
(03:05):
to life, automatically making them eligible for parole consideration because
they were younger than 26 at the time of the murders.
I'm Daniel Martindale.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
In New York City on this Labor Day, the mayor
there has launched a first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Mayor Zoran Mamdani says it's needed more than ever, with
median income stagnating, while the average CEO of the 100 largest,
lowest-paying companies in the U.S. earned 614 times their average
worker last year. He says the mayor's Office of Worker
Power will fight exploitation and help workers get informed, connected,
(03:40):
and organized. I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 2 (03:43):

Andrew Williams was the longtime guitarist for the band Every
Time I Die, calling himself the butcher in the ring.

northeast of Pittsburgh. No cause of death has been revealed.
He was 48. I'm Scott Carr.
