This is the Bloomberg Money Minutes on seven hundred WL.
Speaker 4 (00:09):
I like that, Matt Piper with us from the Bloomberg newsroom. Matt,
looks like AI has taken over the music charts.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah, we're gonna talk about music for these next couple
of stories.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Sorry.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Imagine trying to get a hit on the music charts
only for a fake song to push you off of it.
That is what's currently happening now. While a collab between
Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter has debuted at number one today
on iTunes, they have a song called bring Your Love,
but four of the top ten songs are fake AI singles.
Oh my though the rest of the top one hundred
(00:40):
singles through the rest, I should say, there are more
than a dozen AI voices in addition to the top four,
So you got to just be careful if you you know,
don't realize, wait, who is this notes maybe singing? It
could be fake. So, you know, the labels and everyone
else is trying to figure out what what do we
do here? Because it's kind of surpassing any laws that
are that are going to be in place.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
If they're will be any so yeah, I'll just listen
to some of Allman Brothers today.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
They're not fake.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
An auction house needed some faith from bidders for this story.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, so speaking of songs, you can stick with the
Alburn Brothers, but we're gonna play this one for you too.
So a jacket worn by George Michael in the music
video for that nineteen eighty seven hit Faith is sold
for two hundred and forty thousand dollars at auction Wow.
It's largely been in the storage unit since the end
of the Faith tour. Now the jacket was purchased by
(01:28):
a fan and will remain in the UK.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Play DJ here with his music, there you go. What
do you got on futures?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, so right now everything is, you know, looking okay.
DOW futures are up by the most one hundred and
twenty two points. S and P futures are up by
eleven now as that futures, though still not doing as
hot as the other two. Right now they are down
by forty four points from Bloomberg. Matt Piper on News
Radio seven hundred WLW, Thanks.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So much, Matt.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's ten minutes after eight on Tom Burnaman Show, Steve
Hawkins filling in time to talk to the ABC News
consultant former counter terrorism coordinator at the Department of Homeland Security,
John Cohen with us this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Hey John, how are you good?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
To be with you? Steve? And by the way, I'm
with you, I'm the Omen Brothers.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
There you go. They can't be fake, can't they.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Let's see here the takeaway from last weekend's assassination at
temp is after one week is not encouraging, is it?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Well? Yeah, I mean, on first, let's just say that
the law enforcement personnel at the correspondence dinner, you know,
from the DC Police Department, from the Secret Service, they
did their job. You had an attacker who sought to
enter the ballroom that was occupied by the President, the
Vice president, members of the cabinet journalist. He intended to
(02:44):
conduct a lethal attack, and because of their actions, that attack,
an attack that I would argue would impact our national
security if successful, was thwarted. That said, you know, the
more we're learning about this, the more I have concerned
that we probably should have picked up on this guy earlier.
He wasn't off the radar, we just weren't looking at
(03:06):
the right radar. There were behaviors that he was exhibiting,
whether it was the acquisition of his firearms, the training
with his firearms, statements he was making to people his
online activity that should have gotten somebody's attention. Secondly, in
the current threatn environment, you know, where we're in a
conflict with Iran, a country that has stated that they
would like to kill our president or vice president members
(03:28):
of the government. In a threaten environment where we have
seen the sustained level of acts of political violence, targeted violence,
I questioned whether the security protocols in place, even the
decision to send this many people from our government were
really thought through.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, that's the one thing that I've heard all week long.
Everybody is praising the Secret Service and all the police
and everything at the Washington Hotel, but a lot of
people are talking about just the security, how it was
set up the perimeter. Would you have done something different
if you were in charge?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, I mean, I think you know, one of the
things I was just saying at the tail end of
my last thing, which is, you know, you have to evaluate. Mean,
there were a lot of senior government officials of that event,
and I've attended that event in the past and when
I was a government official, and you know, that's part
of it, right, journalists get together with senior officials and
it's an opportunity for them to all to be together.
(04:25):
But as I mentioned, you know, one a hotel is
a public place in a sense, and it's very difficult
to fully secure if you're going to have the Secretary
of Defense, you know, the and you know, the vice
president and the president, the Secretary of State all in
the same room, you know, and there were others from government.
(04:47):
There's more you could have done. You could have kicked
out the pushed out the physical screening perimeter. You could
have altered the checkpoints or the magnetometer checkpoints, so it
wasn't so easy just to run right through. You could
have deployed personnel more effectively. And something else that kind
of concerned me a little bit is while the Secret
(05:07):
Service moved quickly to to move the president and the
Vice president out of that room, it kind of turned
into a little bit of a confused cluster as the
other protective details were moving in to remove their protectees.
That's something that should have been thought through and planned
out much more robustly prior to this event. Of current
(05:29):
You got to go into these events in the current
environment anticipating in a worst case scenario, and in this case,
a worst case scenario would be an armed gunman being
able to bypass the checkpoint, entering the ballroom and opening
fire with a weapon.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, I know, you got less in a minute here,
real quick, World Cup coming up in a few weeks away.
You got America two fifty fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Are people around the nation rethinking some of the security
after last weekend?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Well, they've been rethinking it for well over a year.
I mean thing as I sound.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
The good news here is that when you look across
the country at what state, county, and local law enforcement
and security officials are doing, they're on top of the
threat as it relates to the World Cup. The host
regions have been preparing for these games, they've been tracking
the cyber, physical, and disruptive threats that we are concerned
about could be used to disrupt the games. You know,
(06:22):
it's not just targeted attacks, it's cyber attacks. It severts
to use drones and swatting calls and bomb threats to
disrupt either the games at the venue or in and
around the venue. So The good news is, you know,
law enforcement's been on top of it. They are tracking
the intelligence, they're working together to be prepared, and that
(06:44):
gives me a great sense of optimism.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
John Cohen, thanks for your report. Have a great weekend.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
John Colin, our ABC News consultant, former counter terrorism coordinator
at the Department of Home Land Security.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Before we do traffic, Chuck, are you there? I sure
I am, Chuck. Did you see this? I think we
have an idiot of the week here. Well it's not me.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
No, it's not you. This is in Texas. Well, you're
not in Texas right.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Now, are you? No, I'm not. I'm right here with you.
Are you ready for this? I'm ready.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
A former Chick fil A worker in Texas accused of
trying to rake in a whole bunch of money. He
rang up, he got back into the story. He's a
former worker. He got back into the store behind the
cash register. He rang up eight hundred orders of mac
(07:30):
and cheese, oh, and then refunded them all to his
personal credit card.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You think, yeah, you're not going to get caught on that. No,
not eight hundred of them. He wouldn't get caught on
all of them. He pocketed eighty thousand dollars. This was
in November of twenty five. He was caught last week.
They caught him on video surveillance there. Then he evaded
(07:56):
arrest multiple times because he was probably eating mac and cheese.
And then he was apprehended April seventeenth been charged with
property theft, which I think is mac and cheese, money laundering,
and evading arrest. Wow, eighty thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
There was no indication in the records why Jones had
been let go because they fired him and he came
back and ordered mac and cheese.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Maybe he's a vegetarian. It could be, could be, there
could be, But eight hundred, eight hundred orders. Huh.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Also today, I would be remiss if I didn't remind
you it's International Tuba Day.

Oh what a special special day this is so glad.
Didn't want to play that. I had one that actually did,
did you? Yeah? They got it. Wasn't the trumpet or
the bagpipes.

talking about your money. Next, seven hundred WLW, Cincinnari, Let's
(10:29):
talk to Mason Leather, our ABC News Business and Economics
reporter in New York. I. Guess GDP for quarter one
numbers have been released. What are you seeing there? What
it's got to say?
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Yes, good morning to you, Steve. So, the biggest takeaway
right now is that the US economy is showing signs
of resilience, with our GDP growing at a rate of
about two percent in the first three months of this year.
So this is all according to new data that we
have from the Commerce Department, which is offering an early
look at how are economy is holding up. So the
(11:01):
biggest chunk of this is consumer spending, which makes up
about seventy percent of our economy, and that remained steady.
Consumer spending in Q one actually grew about one point
six percent, which is a little bit better than you
know analysts had forecasted. But the other huge thing to
look at right now is the conflict in Iran, which
is causing ongoing warning signs that rising energy costs and
(11:24):
inflation could start to slow the broader.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Economy in the coming months.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
So one of the key indicators here is that oil
prices have been jumping sharply, with global benchmark crew oil
climbing from around seventy dollars a barrel before the conflict
in Neuron to about over one hundred and twenty dollars
this week, you know, which.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Is a lot.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
So the top line here is that the GDP growth
in our country is holding steady, but the months ahead
could be more challenging due to inflation and rising energy costs.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
So I guess the question that a lot of people
ask me and I hear about and stuff like that,
how does it grow with all of the stuff going
on like a war and inflation and everything like that.
Is it growing because things are more expensive?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Exactly?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
So basically what the economy is still growing right now,
which helped keeps job stable and businesses running. You know,
at the same time, like you're noting higher prices, especially
for gas and energy, they're making everyday costs more expensive.
So you know, even though the economy looks really followed
on paper, you know, a lot of households are stelf
feeling the financial pressure. So you know, it's it's say,
(12:28):
we have an economy right now that's roughly thirty trillion
dollars in US. So as long as unemployment is low
and most people are able to pay most of their
bills in the country, economic activity tends to hold up
and stay stable.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
So, if I understand correctly, in the GDP first quarter,
government spending and exports rise, but consumer spending fell a
little bit.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Consumer spending remained pretty stable, and government exports and spending
also both remained pretty stable. You know, nothing was going
crazy or you know, jumping all over the place. Everything
remained pretty steady, and it actually grew from you know,
Q four of last year. So I think that's only
important to note.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
What would you guys be worried about as we go
in quarter two? What you're looking for, what may not happen,
What's going to hurt our economy?
Speaker 5 (13:14):
This is a great question. So a lot depends on
energy prices right now. If oil stays high, that's going
to push up inflation and further slow down consumer spending.
So economists that I've been speaking to are watching really
really close to you know, whether consumers are starting to
pull back their spending and whether businesses are going to
scale down their investments. You know, if this happens due
(13:35):
to rising energy cost, economic growth will weaken in the
coming months. But you know, if prices do stabilize in
the energy sectory and the economy can continue to grow
and remain at a study pace, if.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
The war miraculously ends sometime in the next two days
a week or so, does that help the GDP quarter
two or hurt it?
Speaker 6 (13:56):
It's going to help.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
You know.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
This conflict right now ultimately is drive up costs for
your average day consumer, which is hurting GDP because consumers
aren't going to want to spend as much. So you know,
the war ending would be a good thing for GDP growth.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
All Right, Mason Leith, our ABC News Business and Economic
reporter in New York, Thanks for your report this morning.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I really appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Alrighty, it's coming up on your eight thirty newscast. You
know it's Friday. That means we talked to Beer Dave
and guess what, Kentucky Derby parties and beer. Yep, those
things have something in common. They are very good. We're
gonna talk about that. Plus, next Friday is Steve Day.
This caught my attention. You get a discount beer if

you're not alone. A Talker survey of two thousand Americans
(15:16):
found that one in three say they're currently experiencing an
s essential crisis, with gen Z leading all generations at
more than half. Stressful was the most common word Americans
used to describe this year so far. Financial pressure is
a dominant driver across all age groups, with a separate
survey finding eighty seven percent of US believe the countries
in an affordability crisis and half struggle to pay basic bills.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Good one eight forty one to seven hundred WLW. Steve
Hawkins filling in for Tom Brenneman. I think he's scheduled
be back on Monday. It'd be good to hear him.
Let's happen out to New York City. Our ABC News
investigative reporter Peter Hierlambu's with us this morning. Peter, story
that is breaking New York Times is seeking to unseal
(16:16):
Jeffrey Epstein's purported suicide note.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Tell us the latest on this. Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
This is a remarkable story that we learned yesterday. It
appears Jeffrey Epstein when he attempted to kill himself in
July twenty nineteen. This was his first suicide attempt, with
waltimately taking his life in August, apparently left behind a
suicide note that prosecutors in the Department of Justice never
came across. This was revealed in New York Times, reporting
(16:43):
that ABC has since matched that basically said that after
this first suicide attempt, Jeffrey Epstein's former cell mate came
across the letter in their former cell held on to
it and basically Leverage and Kate Epstein accused him of
trying to kill him. And that letter is basically been
tied up in litigation for years. It's ultimately locked in
(17:04):
a vault here in New York, and now the New
York Times is pushing it for it to be released.
The Department of Justice, when reached about this story, said
they actually have never seen the file and that's why
it was never included in the Epstein's DOJ files release.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
So is it none of us have heard seen this?
I guess this is breaking news. Nobody knows that this
existed in the past five, six, seven years.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
And if it is true, and if it's authenticated, it
would be really remarkable because it would be a critical
piece of evidence that investigators looking into his death never
actually saw. At this point, the DOJ is saying they
don't have it, though there are some documents in their
possession that referenced the note. In it, Apparently, Epstein basically
said it was time to say goodbye and basically walked
(17:49):
through his rationale for taking his own life. This is
a death that has been kind of marred in controversy
in conspiracies because of the number of security lapses that
took place related to it. A piece of evidence like this,
where Epstein essentially walks through his rationale for his actions,
would be a vital piece of evidence for really the
public record to understand what happens.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You know, some of this just doesn't pass the smell
test for me.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
But let's assume, just for this morning's argument that it
is a true suicide note. Does it change anything going
on with the lawsuits and everything that his estate is
getting pounded.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
With at the end of the day, not much, You're right,
And I do see your point about the smell test here,
because there's something.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
A little fishy about this. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
One, the letter doesn't actually change what happens here in
terms of you know, our established, the established narrative about
Epstein's death. Epstein basically walks through his justification for killing himself,
and that, you know, adds to evidence that it was
a suicide rather than what some theorists have argued was
something more malicious. On top of that, it's important to
see the context of the person who found this letter.
(18:57):
Jeffrey Epstein's selling at the time was a man named
Nicholas tar Tagleone. He was a former cop who was
convicted and it's currently serving out four life sentences for
murdering four people. This former cop was described as a
monster by the judge who sentenced him. He killed some
of these people execution style. He tortured one of them.
Some of his victims were actually family members. Again, someone
(19:20):
that the judge described as a monster. He's the person
whose credibility is on the line here in terms of
saying that he found this letter and that the letter
is authentic, though his lawyers do claim they were able
to eventually authenticate it. So again grain of salt in
terms of the person who actually found this letter. Given
this somewhat terrible history that they've been accused of.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Treat me like I'm a fifth grader here, why won't
they release the letter? What you know, if you just
release it we all can see it, why won't they?
Speaker 6 (19:50):
You know, there's an argument to me made that basically
the individual who this stems from is still involved in
ongoing litigation with his appeal, this is Tartaglione, But I
really don't think that's going to hold much weight.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
It really does seem like a miss scenario.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
This was a misunderstanding that somehow, despite this being potentially
a critical piece of evidence, the dj just never came
across it because it was being litigated in sealed proceedings
in a completely unrelated manner, and seems like the lawyer
for Tartaglione never actually shared it with the Department of Justice.
So you know, now that it's been revealed. Kind of
(20:28):
the larger context of this, and also the pressure from
the Epsteine Transparency Act, it seems like there's a very
solid legal case to argue that this should be released.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
When people like The New York Times ask for release
or petition, whatever the word is for it, does it
usually happen that it eventually gets released.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Stuff like this, it's hit or miss at the end
of the day. I'll note, for example, that NBC, for example,
made a similar petition related to a document in the
Gulain Maxwell case, that petition was heard, it was litigated,
and ultimately the judge deny it. So you know, the
immediate petitions are far from a sure thin but given
(21:07):
unique circumstances here, and also the manpower that the New
York Times brings being willing to litigate this, it's fully
possible we see some kind of resolution in the next
few weeks.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Are you one last question, Are you surprised that hit
this man died in like August of twenty nineteen. Are
you surprised that we're still talking about it all this
time later?
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Yes, I mean I at this point. You know, when
the story came back into the news last year, given
the Trump connection, it kind of made sense in terms
of the interest. But it is at the end of
the day, remarkable that this is a death that happened
seven years ago that still appears to exist and loom
large in the minds of many Americans and still continue
(21:47):
to drive the news cycle. So it's remarkable. It's a
surprise to me, but that's just how it clean trumbles.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I guess. All right. Peter Harlambus with this ABC News
investigator reporter in New York City. Thank you so much.
I appreciate it. All right, thank you?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Alrighty before traffic chuck. Yes, sir, you see it's phone

some people are sick? Because I think there's a conspiracy
going on here. I think you're I have no pants

going to wear any pants all day. Well that could be.
(22:50):

this weekend. The Beer Coffee and t bar Brood it's
opening up at ten o'clock this morning.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Yeah, we talked about this about a month or so
ago and they're going to open today on Court Street
and they've got very spears on tap, as well as
lots of local coffee and tea available.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
That's good news. That's a new place to go. I
like it.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
They've hired a first ever CEO over at Mad Tree, correct.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Yeah, Rhiannon Holweller is going to be their new CEO
and this will give the founders, Brady and Kenny a
chance to step away and concentrate on some other things
within the company and let me let Rhianna run the
day to day.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I like it. That's good too. Northern Row one of
my favorite places. The brewery.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
They've introduced a couple a complete refresh of its beer labels.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
Yeah, so sometimes it was a little confusing to tell
what the brand actually was that you were drinking. And
with these new labels, there's no question that one will
be a half of ice and a juicy I p a,
a Hellas Lager or an Amber Lager. Plus they're seasonals.
Just really a neat little update refreshed to the brand
(26:32):
that was probably need it whether we knew it or not.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah, I want to try that Hellas Lagger. That's right
up my alley there.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Talking beer Dave here the since a Lagger House in
Braxton they both have Kentucky Derby parter parties tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
Yeah, I mean it's it's a national day for us
Native Kentuckians. But at the end of the day, step
across the river to since You Lagger House and they've
got a lot of things going on, including a best
hat contest, which obviously you know the ladies in their hats,
that's truly a Derby tradition.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Tell me what's going on tomorrow night at Urban Artifact.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
So the Gnarly Gnome has been sort of really I
guess historically collecting a lot of the information and about
the Bruckman Brewery, and he's going to promote a video
that he put together tomorrow night at the Urban Artifact
over in the former church. They're going to have a
(27:36):
nice celebration and there'll be some Q and A about
the history of the brewery and lots of things about
you know, what all they had to do to be
able to get into the caves at Apruckman, including draining
the water and putting in new staircases and stuff. So
it tould be a fun little ten dollars event and
some nice Urban Artifact beers to drink, whire pick up
(28:00):
out some new information.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Hey, I love this Sunday morning now, So Terry coasting
a Flying Pig watch party.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Yeah, I mean it runs right past the place. So
if you're not running, there's no reason that you can't
run a few things through your mind while you're drinking
a pint of their beer. And they also introduced a
new Chicago Italian beet samwich, which you already had one
of those. That's an awesome treat.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Monday is May the Fourth Be with You day, and
what's Fabled brew Works doing?
Speaker 7 (28:33):
So They've created a commemorative pint glass and they're going
to have a pint night for twelve bucks, you get
a beer and a commemorative glass. And it's sort of
a spin on an X wing fighter from Star Wars,
a with a barrel in the middle and really kind
of a fun little play on May the Fourth Be
with You?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
All right?
Speaker 4 (28:53):

What are your money Bush with Sprinkles of Knowledge.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
This is the Bloomberg Money Minutes on seven hundred WL.
Speaker 4 (00:09):
I like that, Matt Piper with us from the Bloomberg newsroom. Matt,
looks like AI has taken over the music charts.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah, we're gonna talk about music for these next couple
of stories.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Sorry.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Imagine trying to get a hit on the music charts
only for a fake song to push you off of it.
That is what's currently happening now. While a collab between
Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter has debuted at number one today
on iTunes, they have a song called bring Your Love,
but four of the top ten songs are fake AI singles.
Oh my though the rest of the top one hundred
(00:40):
singles through the rest, I should say, there are more
than a dozen AI voices in addition to the top four,
So you got to just be careful if you you know,
don't realize, wait, who is this notes maybe singing? It
could be fake. So, you know, the labels and everyone
else is trying to figure out what what do we
do here? Because it's kind of surpassing any laws that
are that are going to be in place.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
If they're will be any so yeah, I'll just listen
to some of Allman Brothers today.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
They're not fake.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
An auction house needed some faith from bidders for this story.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, so speaking of songs, you can stick with the
Alburn Brothers, but we're gonna play this one for you too.
So a jacket worn by George Michael in the music
video for that nineteen eighty seven hit Faith is sold
for two hundred and forty thousand dollars at auction Wow.
It's largely been in the storage unit since the end
of the Faith tour. Now the jacket was purchased by
(01:28):
a fan and will remain in the UK.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Play DJ here with his music, there you go. What
do you got on futures?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, so right now everything is, you know, looking okay.
DOW futures are up by the most one hundred and
twenty two points. S and P futures are up by
eleven now as that futures, though still not doing as
hot as the other two. Right now they are down
by forty four points from Bloomberg. Matt Piper on News
Radio seven hundred WLW, Thanks.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So much, Matt.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's ten minutes after eight on Tom Burnaman Show, Steve
Hawkins filling in time to talk to the ABC News
consultant former counter terrorism coordinator at the Department of Homeland Security,
John Cohen with us this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Hey John, how are you good?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
To be with you? Steve? And by the way, I'm
with you, I'm the Omen Brothers.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
There you go. They can't be fake, can't they.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Let's see here the takeaway from last weekend's assassination at
temp is after one week is not encouraging, is it?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Well? Yeah, I mean, on first, let's just say that
the law enforcement personnel at the correspondence dinner, you know,
from the DC Police Department, from the Secret Service, they
did their job. You had an attacker who sought to
enter the ballroom that was occupied by the President, the
Vice president, members of the cabinet journalist. He intended to
(02:44):
conduct a lethal attack, and because of their actions, that attack,
an attack that I would argue would impact our national
security if successful, was thwarted. That said, you know, the
more we're learning about this, the more I have concerned
that we probably should have picked up on this guy earlier.
He wasn't off the radar, we just weren't looking at
(03:06):
the right radar. There were behaviors that he was exhibiting,
whether it was the acquisition of his firearms, the training
with his firearms, statements he was making to people his
online activity that should have gotten somebody's attention. Secondly, in
the current threatn environment, you know, where we're in a
conflict with Iran, a country that has stated that they
would like to kill our president or vice president members
(03:28):
of the government. In a threaten environment where we have
seen the sustained level of acts of political violence, targeted violence,
I questioned whether the security protocols in place, even the
decision to send this many people from our government were
really thought through.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, that's the one thing that I've heard all week long.
Everybody is praising the Secret Service and all the police
and everything at the Washington Hotel, but a lot of
people are talking about just the security, how it was
set up the perimeter. Would you have done something different
if you were in charge?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, I mean, I think you know, one of the
things I was just saying at the tail end of
my last thing, which is, you know, you have to evaluate. Mean,
there were a lot of senior government officials of that event,
and I've attended that event in the past and when
I was a government official, and you know, that's part
of it, right, journalists get together with senior officials and
it's an opportunity for them to all to be together.
(04:25):
But as I mentioned, you know, one a hotel is
a public place in a sense, and it's very difficult
to fully secure if you're going to have the Secretary
of Defense, you know, the and you know, the vice
president and the president, the Secretary of State all in
the same room, you know, and there were others from government.
(04:47):
There's more you could have done. You could have kicked
out the pushed out the physical screening perimeter. You could
have altered the checkpoints or the magnetometer checkpoints, so it
wasn't so easy just to run right through. You could
have deployed personnel more effectively. And something else that kind
of concerned me a little bit is while the Secret
(05:07):
Service moved quickly to to move the president and the
Vice president out of that room, it kind of turned
into a little bit of a confused cluster as the
other protective details were moving in to remove their protectees.
That's something that should have been thought through and planned
out much more robustly prior to this event. Of current
(05:29):
You got to go into these events in the current
environment anticipating in a worst case scenario, and in this case,
a worst case scenario would be an armed gunman being
able to bypass the checkpoint, entering the ballroom and opening
fire with a weapon.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, I know, you got less in a minute here,
real quick, World Cup coming up in a few weeks away.
You got America two fifty fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Are people around the nation rethinking some of the security
after last weekend?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Well, they've been rethinking it for well over a year.
I mean thing as I sound.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
The good news here is that when you look across
the country at what state, county, and local law enforcement
and security officials are doing, they're on top of the
threat as it relates to the World Cup. The host
regions have been preparing for these games, they've been tracking
the cyber, physical, and disruptive threats that we are concerned
about could be used to disrupt the games. You know,
(06:22):
it's not just targeted attacks, it's cyber attacks. It severts
to use drones and swatting calls and bomb threats to
disrupt either the games at the venue or in and
around the venue. So The good news is, you know,
law enforcement's been on top of it. They are tracking
the intelligence, they're working together to be prepared, and that
(06:44):
gives me a great sense of optimism.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
John Cohen, thanks for your report. Have a great weekend.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
A former Chick fil A worker in Texas accused of
trying to rake in a whole bunch of money. He
rang up, he got back into the story. He's a
former worker. He got back into the store behind the
cash register. He rang up eight hundred orders of mac
(07:30):
and cheese, oh, and then refunded them all to his
personal credit card.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You think, yeah, you're not going to get caught on that. No,
not eight hundred of them. He wouldn't get caught on
all of them. He pocketed eighty thousand dollars. This was
in November of twenty five. He was caught last week.
They caught him on video surveillance there. Then he evaded
(07:56):
arrest multiple times because he was probably eating mac and cheese.
And then he was apprehended April seventeenth been charged with
property theft, which I think is mac and cheese, money laundering,
and evading arrest. Wow, eighty thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
There was no indication in the records why Jones had
been let go because they fired him and he came
back and ordered mac and cheese.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Maybe he's a vegetarian. It could be, could be, there
could be, But eight hundred, eight hundred orders. Huh.

talking about your money. Next, seven hundred WLW, Cincinnari, Let's
(10:29):
talk to Mason Leather, our ABC News Business and Economics
reporter in New York. I. Guess GDP for quarter one
numbers have been released. What are you seeing there? What
it's got to say?
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Yes, good morning to you, Steve. So, the biggest takeaway
right now is that the US economy is showing signs
of resilience, with our GDP growing at a rate of
about two percent in the first three months of this year.
So this is all according to new data that we
have from the Commerce Department, which is offering an early
look at how are economy is holding up. So the
(11:01):
biggest chunk of this is consumer spending, which makes up
about seventy percent of our economy, and that remained steady.
Consumer spending in Q one actually grew about one point
six percent, which is a little bit better than you
know analysts had forecasted. But the other huge thing to
look at right now is the conflict in Iran, which
is causing ongoing warning signs that rising energy costs and
(11:24):
inflation could start to slow the broader.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Economy in the coming months.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
So one of the key indicators here is that oil
prices have been jumping sharply, with global benchmark crew oil
climbing from around seventy dollars a barrel before the conflict
in Neuron to about over one hundred and twenty dollars
this week, you know, which.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Is a lot.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
So the top line here is that the GDP growth
in our country is holding steady, but the months ahead
could be more challenging due to inflation and rising energy costs.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
So I guess the question that a lot of people
ask me and I hear about and stuff like that,
how does it grow with all of the stuff going
on like a war and inflation and everything like that.
Is it growing because things are more expensive?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Exactly?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
So basically what the economy is still growing right now,
which helped keeps job stable and businesses running. You know,
at the same time, like you're noting higher prices, especially
for gas and energy, they're making everyday costs more expensive.
So you know, even though the economy looks really followed
on paper, you know, a lot of households are stelf
feeling the financial pressure. So you know, it's it's say,
(12:28):
we have an economy right now that's roughly thirty trillion
dollars in US. So as long as unemployment is low
and most people are able to pay most of their
bills in the country, economic activity tends to hold up
and stay stable.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
So, if I understand correctly, in the GDP first quarter,
government spending and exports rise, but consumer spending fell a
little bit.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Consumer spending remained pretty stable, and government exports and spending
also both remained pretty stable. You know, nothing was going
crazy or you know, jumping all over the place. Everything
remained pretty steady, and it actually grew from you know,
Q four of last year. So I think that's only
important to note.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
What would you guys be worried about as we go
in quarter two? What you're looking for, what may not happen,
What's going to hurt our economy?
Speaker 5 (13:14):
This is a great question. So a lot depends on
energy prices right now. If oil stays high, that's going
to push up inflation and further slow down consumer spending.
So economists that I've been speaking to are watching really
really close to you know, whether consumers are starting to
pull back their spending and whether businesses are going to
scale down their investments. You know, if this happens due
(13:35):
to rising energy cost, economic growth will weaken in the
coming months. But you know, if prices do stabilize in
the energy sectory and the economy can continue to grow
and remain at a study pace, if.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
The war miraculously ends sometime in the next two days
a week or so, does that help the GDP quarter
two or hurt it?
Speaker 6 (13:56):
It's going to help.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
You know.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
This conflict right now ultimately is drive up costs for
your average day consumer, which is hurting GDP because consumers
aren't going to want to spend as much. So you know,
the war ending would be a good thing for GDP growth.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
All Right, Mason Leith, our ABC News Business and Economic
reporter in New York, Thanks for your report this morning.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I really appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Alrighty, it's coming up on your eight thirty newscast. You
know it's Friday. That means we talked to Beer Dave

things have something in common. They are very good. We're
gonna talk about that. Plus, next Friday is Steve Day.
This caught my attention. You get a discount beer if

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Good one eight forty one to seven hundred WLW. Steve
Hawkins filling in for Tom Brenneman. I think he's scheduled
be back on Monday. It'd be good to hear him.
Let's happen out to New York City. Our ABC News
investigative reporter Peter Hierlambu's with us this morning. Peter, story
that is breaking New York Times is seeking to unseal
(16:16):
Jeffrey Epstein's purported suicide note.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Tell us the latest on this. Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
This is a remarkable story that we learned yesterday. It
appears Jeffrey Epstein when he attempted to kill himself in
July twenty nineteen. This was his first suicide attempt, with
waltimately taking his life in August, apparently left behind a
suicide note that prosecutors in the Department of Justice never
came across. This was revealed in New York Times, reporting
(16:43):
that ABC has since matched that basically said that after
this first suicide attempt, Jeffrey Epstein's former cell mate came
across the letter in their former cell held on to
it and basically Leverage and Kate Epstein accused him of
trying to kill him. And that letter is basically been
tied up in litigation for years. It's ultimately locked in
(17:04):
a vault here in New York, and now the New
York Times is pushing it for it to be released.
The Department of Justice, when reached about this story, said
they actually have never seen the file and that's why
it was never included in the Epstein's DOJ files release.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
So is it none of us have heard seen this?
I guess this is breaking news. Nobody knows that this
existed in the past five, six, seven years.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
And if it is true, and if it's authenticated, it
would be really remarkable because it would be a critical
piece of evidence that investigators looking into his death never
actually saw. At this point, the DOJ is saying they
don't have it, though there are some documents in their
possession that referenced the note. In it, Apparently, Epstein basically
said it was time to say goodbye and basically walked
(17:49):
through his rationale for taking his own life. This is
a death that has been kind of marred in controversy
in conspiracies because of the number of security lapses that
took place related to it. A piece of evidence like this,
where Epstein essentially walks through his rationale for his actions,
would be a vital piece of evidence for really the
public record to understand what happens.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You know, some of this just doesn't pass the smell
test for me.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
But let's assume, just for this morning's argument that it
is a true suicide note. Does it change anything going
on with the lawsuits and everything that his estate is
getting pounded.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
With at the end of the day, not much, You're right,
And I do see your point about the smell test here,
because there's something.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
A little fishy about this. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
One, the letter doesn't actually change what happens here in
terms of you know, our established, the established narrative about
Epstein's death. Epstein basically walks through his justification for killing himself,
and that, you know, adds to evidence that it was
a suicide rather than what some theorists have argued was
something more malicious. On top of that, it's important to
see the context of the person who found this letter.
(18:57):
Jeffrey Epstein's selling at the time was a man named
Nicholas tar Tagleone. He was a former cop who was
convicted and it's currently serving out four life sentences for
murdering four people. This former cop was described as a
monster by the judge who sentenced him. He killed some
of these people execution style. He tortured one of them.
Some of his victims were actually family members. Again, someone
(19:20):
that the judge described as a monster. He's the person
whose credibility is on the line here in terms of
saying that he found this letter and that the letter
is authentic, though his lawyers do claim they were able
to eventually authenticate it. So again grain of salt in
terms of the person who actually found this letter. Given
this somewhat terrible history that they've been accused of.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Treat me like I'm a fifth grader here, why won't
they release the letter? What you know, if you just
release it we all can see it, why won't they?
Speaker 6 (19:50):
You know, there's an argument to me made that basically
the individual who this stems from is still involved in
ongoing litigation with his appeal, this is Tartaglione, But I
really don't think that's going to hold much weight.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
It really does seem like a miss scenario.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
This was a misunderstanding that somehow, despite this being potentially
a critical piece of evidence, the dj just never came
across it because it was being litigated in sealed proceedings
in a completely unrelated manner, and seems like the lawyer
for Tartaglione never actually shared it with the Department of Justice.
So you know, now that it's been revealed. Kind of
(20:28):
the larger context of this, and also the pressure from
the Epsteine Transparency Act, it seems like there's a very
solid legal case to argue that this should be released.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
When people like The New York Times ask for release
or petition, whatever the word is for it, does it
usually happen that it eventually gets released.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Stuff like this, it's hit or miss at the end
of the day. I'll note, for example, that NBC, for example,
made a similar petition related to a document in the
Gulain Maxwell case, that petition was heard, it was litigated,
and ultimately the judge deny it. So you know, the
immediate petitions are far from a sure thin but given
(21:07):
unique circumstances here, and also the manpower that the New
York Times brings being willing to litigate this, it's fully
possible we see some kind of resolution in the next
few weeks.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Are you one last question, Are you surprised that hit
this man died in like August of twenty nineteen. Are
you surprised that we're still talking about it all this
time later?
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Yes, I mean I at this point. You know, when
the story came back into the news last year, given
the Trump connection, it kind of made sense in terms
of the interest. But it is at the end of
the day, remarkable that this is a death that happened
seven years ago that still appears to exist and loom
large in the minds of many Americans and still continue
(21:47):
to drive the news cycle. So it's remarkable. It's a
surprise to me, but that's just how it clean trumbles.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I guess. All right. Peter Harlambus with this ABC News
investigator reporter in New York City. Thank you so much.
I appreciate it. All right, thank you?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Alrighty before traffic chuck. Yes, sir, you see it's phone
in sick day.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Oh it is. Yeah, you just call in and let
me find the foat. Wait, I'm sick. I can't make it,
but I'm already in the studio and i can't find
a phone. You know what as a manager in past
lives and stuff like that. Yes, phone in sick it
is always phony. They always leave a message. It sounds
like sick. It's my throat. Yeah, there you go. It's
(22:29):
also No Pants Day, National No pants Day. I guess
you wear a shirt? Are kilt? Why do you think
some people are sick? Because I think there's a conspiracy
going on here. I think you're I have no pants
and I'm sick. Yeah. Or I'm sick and I'm not
going to wear any pants all day. Well that could be.
(22:50):
I'm afraid to ask how people celebrate no pants Day?
Well you should. You could tell us how you're going
to celebrate it. Driving home here in a few minutes
with no paper, with no interesting that's what people are
doing this morning, you think, Yeah, what's going on? From

I like it. That's good too. Northern Row one of
my favorite places. The brewery.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
They've introduced a couple a complete refresh of its beer labels.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
Yeah, so sometimes it was a little confusing to tell
what the brand actually was that you were drinking. And
with these new labels, there's no question that one will
be a half of ice and a juicy I p a,
a Hellas Lager or an Amber Lager. Plus they're seasonals.
Just really a neat little update refreshed to the brand
(26:32):
that was probably need it whether we knew it or not.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah, I want to try that Hellas Lagger. That's right
up my alley there.

Talking beer Dave here the since a Lagger House in
Braxton they both have Kentucky Derby parter parties tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (26:48):

Native Kentuckians. But at the end of the day, step
across the river to since You Lagger House and they've
got a lot of things going on, including a best
hat contest, which obviously you know the ladies in their hats,
that's truly a Derby tradition.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Tell me what's going on tomorrow night at Urban Artifact.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
So the Gnarly Gnome has been sort of really I
guess historically collecting a lot of the information and about
the Bruckman Brewery, and he's going to promote a video
that he put together tomorrow night at the Urban Artifact
over in the former church. They're going to have a
(27:36):
nice celebration and there'll be some Q and A about
the history of the brewery and lots of things about
you know, what all they had to do to be
able to get into the caves at Apruckman, including draining
the water and putting in new staircases and stuff. So

run a few things through your mind while you're drinking
a pint of their beer. And they also introduced a
new Chicago Italian beet samwich, which you already had one
of those. That's an awesome treat.
