(02:21):
his efforts to get a new trial. The La Innocence Project took up Peterson's
case recently, claiming they could provePeterson did not kill his pregnant wife,

too, ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen'sSupreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has rejected a
(05:00):
for him to recuse himself from casesrelated to the January sixth capital attack.
Can you give us a refresher onwhy the Democrats were calling for it?
Sure? I remember the reports inthe recent weeks of Samuel Alito flying the
American flag upside down outside his homein northern Virginia and flying the pine Tree
flag of the Appeal to Heaven statementoutside his Jersey Shore beach house. Well,
(05:26):
what he had said in these reports, which were published in newspapers in
the last couple of weeks, isthat he didn't do it, his wife
did it, and yesterday, ina letter to congressional Democrats, he expanded
on that. He says that hedidn't even know the American flag was flying
upside down outside his home in FairfaxCounty, Virginia, until somebody called it
to his attention, and he sayswhen that happened, he asked his wife
to take the flag down, butquote for several days she refused. Alito
(05:50):
also says his wife was solely responsiblefor flying that Appeal to Heaven flag outside
the beach house on the Jersey Shore, which is a home. He says
that the couple bought with money thatMartha Ann Alito inherited from her family,
and that the home is titled inher name. He says his wife has
the First Amendment right to say whatevershe wants and fly whatever flag she wants,
(06:13):
and he says that she is intoflying flags and he's not well.
Ultimately, the question is, allright, so what so now? What?
So? Alito says he's not goingto heed these calls to recuse himself
because he had nothing to do withthe flying of these banners. At the
end of the day, there's nothinganybody can say or do about it,
because under the law, there isno enforceable code of ethics that applies to
(06:34):
the Supreme Court justices. They areon themselves and their own honor to uphold
the standards of ethics and propriety.Now they have to make certain financial disclosures,
there's certain rules that the Court hasimposed on itself, but they don't
exactly have any teeth and there's nohigher authority that would force Alito to recuse
himself. And so ultimately this becomesa crisis to a certain event of confidence
(06:59):
for the Supreme Court, which hasto worry and certainly the Chief Justice has
expressed his worries about how the Courtis viewed in the public mind. And
this is just another thing you canput on the list. Okay, So,
Stephen, I want to ask,is this really a crisis. This
was something that happened more than threeyears ago. The newspaper or whoever had
(07:23):
the picture of it decided this itwasn't enough. It obviously wasn't anything at
the time because they didn't publish it, right, So let me just jump
in real fast. The Washington Postreported over the weekend that they were aware
of the story back in twenty twentyone because neighbors called it into the paper.
The paper investigated and determined it didn'trise to the level of national significance
(07:44):
because it seemed to the reporter andthe editor at the time that it was
simply a dispute between neighbors and itwasn't worth dragging the justice into it,
right, okay. And then theappeal to heaven flag. That's a big
deal because of cup of people atthe January sixth riot at the Capitol had
(08:05):
those flags right well, and Alitosays in his letter that it's an old,
historic flag, which it is.It's back to the Revolutionary War and
was carried by George Washington's troops.It was also, however, a banner
that was carried by some of theJanuary sixth riders into the Capitol, and
for that reason it has become subjectto scrutiny. Look, at the end
of the day, Alito can speakfor himself on this, and so can
(08:28):
the critics speak for themselves. Butthat's going to, I think, be
the end of it until or unless, you know, Congress passes a law
that has some sort of enforcement mechanismand clear standards for when justice has to
step aside and recuse him or herselffrom the case. And until that happens,
it's going to be up to eachjudge, each justice, I should
(08:50):
say, and their discretion. Yeah, I think we should also note that
American flags were at that January sixth, Right, I think you're fair.
It's a fair and I'm gonna flymine proudly, darn it. All right,
Stephen Portinoy, thanks so much forthe information. Appreciate it, you
bet. All right, Let's getback to some of the stories coming out

so five it's handled on the news. If you're driving an older model Nissan,
Bill's going to tell you why youshould stop that right now. But
right now, we're going to goto the courtroom in Manhattan where Peter Haralumbus's
(13:18):
camped out and has been for theentire trial. And Peter, today is
day two of deliberations. So canyou catch us up and bring us up
to speed on what happened yesterday?Yeah, So proceedings picked up yesterday morning
around ten am. The jury hadstayed late on Tuesday night until eight PMS.
The judge gave him about thirty minutesto come in late, but it
(13:41):
went straight into the jury instructions.That's when the judge told the jury about
what they needed to believe to convictthe former president. That went on for
about an hour, and then thejury began deliberating right around eleven thirty in
the morning. They deliberated for aboutthree hours before they sent back their first
note requesting portions of testimony from MichaelCohen and David Pecker, two of the
(14:01):
key witnesses in this case. Andthen another note that came back about thirty
minutes later requesting a read back ofthe entire jury instruction that entire one hour
kind of bit of instruction they gotin the morning yesterday. That's where we
left off. The juris coming backthis morning at nine point thirty here in
New York. They're set to hearthe readback that they're requested of the testimony
(14:22):
and also get some clarity on whatpart of the jury instructions they'd like to
hear. Okay, and the juryinstructions, as I understand it, were
like fifty five pages long, soI guess that's why they're going to see
what part of it do you wantto hear or do you want to hear
the whole thing over again? Yeah, the judges asked them to clarify what
they need. But interestingly enough,the jury might have every single piece of
(14:43):
evidence, all three hundred pieces,on a computer in the deliberations room,
but because of New York state law, they're not allowed to have that actual
jury instruction. It has to beread to them verbally. It's a technical
rule. But because of that,if they want to hear anything back and
again fifty five pages of lo alot of it very technical about the law,
they want to hear that back,it has to be read verbally by
the judge. Okay, And sowhile the jury's deliberating, Peter, because
(15:07):
you're in the courtroom, what areyou guys doing? Do you stay in
the courtroom? Does Trump stand thecourt room as everybody clear out what happens
there? Yeah, that's a greatquestion. I have to say. The
vibe in that court room has changedsignificantly over the last day. So throughout
the trial, even during these reallytense moments of testimony, right from people
like Michael Cohen, or Pecker orStormy Daniels, we were always weeks or
(15:31):
days away from a verdict. Right, there was always going to be another
witness summation, a charge before weactually got to that vital moment of jury
instruction, to the vital moment ofjury deliberations. But now we're sitting waiting
knowing that at any moment, withinten to fifteen minutes, the jury could
come back with a verdict and saythey've convicted the forum president of the United
(15:52):
States, which is just an astoundingoutcome. Regardless really of how the swings,
whether it be a conviction or acquittal, we're moments away at any moments
in reality. So the press issitting waiting in that courtroom. We're not
allowed to move, we're not allowedto talk. We just have to sit
quietly, no phones. Trump meanwhile, is allowed to be elsewhere in the
courthouse. He has a war roomwhere he can hang out, but the
(16:15):
judge's ordered to stay in the physicalcourthouse. He always has to be like
five or ten minutes away from thiscourtroom in case there's a note or a
verdict. But it's noticeably more testedtended. Seems like the people understand the
weight of the moment. In thatcourtroom. Everyone seems to be slightly on
edge. Trump seems to be angryand tired at times. He raged to
the press twice yesterday, complaining thateven mother Teresa would be convicted based on
(16:38):
the jury charge. So it's asunningly different environment, I would say,
in this courthouse, and in particularin that courtroom, okay, And I
think a lot of people I'm wonderingif they're keeping the jury or not the
jury, but keeping Trump close becausethey're expecting a quick verdict. I think
there was a lot of talk whenI was watching shows yesterday, and everybody's
(17:00):
like, we think it's going tocome anytime now, But that doesn't that
didn't happen. Does that signal anything? You know, it's hard to say.
The jury's only been out for aboutfour hours when the first jury note
came in right around three o'clock yesterday. At that point, the jury was
deliberating for right about three hours.You know, there was a thought at
the time we didn't know whether ornot there was a note requesting more testimony,
(17:22):
or if it was a note signalingthey had reached a verdict. And
there was a legitimate thought in thatmoment that the jury, just after three
hours of deliberation, had reached averdict either convicting or quitting the former president
that obviously didn't happen. They wantto excuse me, they wanted more information,
But I get the sense that we'reall kind of waiting for what we
know is going to come sooner orlater. According to sources familiar with the
(17:45):
matter, Trump's legal team and thepeople around him are at this point just
really wishing for a hung jury.They want to see some notes from the
jury today or tomorrow that signal theirissues with Michael Cohen simony. That's what
they're really hoping for here. Andif it's a hung verdict, that's an
outcome that takes a while to reachbecause the jury ought to continue deliberating and
(18:07):
deliberating under the judges orders until theysimply are hopelessly deadlocked, So it could
stretch on for a bit. Ifit's If that's actually the outcome, we're
going to see, okay, andwe reconvene at six point thirty our time.
You're going to be there and can'twait to talk to you again and
hear more, and we'll have towait and see. A verdict could come
at any time. Peter Hairelumbus,thank you so much for the information and
(18:30):
for being in the courtroom for us. Thanks so much, Amy, I
appreciate it. All. Right,take care. Let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of theKFI twenty four hour newsroom. Some of
the sheriff's deputies added to patrol theMetro system will be incognito. On top
of uniform deputies, undercover deputies havealso been assigned to Metro. So for
anybody who's out there with the intentof doing harm, look out. You're
(18:52):
probably going to get arrested. LaCounty Sheriff Luna says he has and will
continue to beef up staffing on Metroto comply with a surge of law enforcement
ordered by the Metro Board. Increasestaffing comes in response to a recent spike
in violent crime across the system.Luda says most of the crime his department
has responded to was committed by peoplewho did not pay fair Blake Trolly k
(19:15):
if I News. Santa Monica policehave announced the arrest of a homeless man
who allegedly shoved an elderly woman tothe ground. The woman was on her
morning walk last Thursday when she saysshe saw the man and tried to go
around him, but police say JalenJames intentionally pushed her down. Police were
called later about the same man tryingto punch random people in the area.
Police used a drone to track downand arrest James. San Diego County has
(19:41):
reported another tuberculosis case, this timeat the College of Continuing Education. Officials
say the potential exposure happened between lateNovember and late February, mostly in the
computer lab. TB cases in SanDiego County have gone from one hundred ninety
three four years ago to two hundredand forty three last year. Jackie.
The FAA has opened an investigation intoa close call on a runway in Virginia.
(20:07):
My goodness, we're having a lotof these. ABC's Alex Stone says
an American Airlines flight heading to Bostonyesterday had clearance to take off from the
Reagan National Airport. It was rollingdown the runway and got up to about
one hundred and ten miles an hourwhen air traffic control realized the plane was
on a collision course with a KingAir aircraft landing on an intersecting runway.
Stone says the pilots slammed on thebrakes. The two planes appeared to have
(20:32):
been less than about thirteen hundred feetapart. There was another close call at
Reagan National last less than a weekago, involving a Southwest and Jet Blue
airplane. A petition has been startedto memorialize KTLA entertainment reporter Sam Rubin on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Thepetition, posted Tuesday, calls for fans
to sign up in support of Reubengetting a star. The Hollywood Chamber of
(20:56):
Commerce accepts nominations annually, but posthumousawards require a two year waiting period after
death. Ruben died May tenth,which means the Chamber would have to make
an exception to award him a starthis soon. I think that's completely fitting.
A man in Michigan has been caughton video during a court hearing driving
on a suspended license. The judgelooked a little surprised when the man joined
(21:19):
the zoom hearing two weeks ago.Mister, are you driving, Ashley?
I'm pulling into my doctor's office.Actually he's suspended and he's just driving.
That is correct, your honor.The drivers are to turn himself in that
night. Ugh gets lots of pointsfor extra brains. Jurors will be back
(21:41):
for a second day of deliberation informer President Trump's criminal case over whether he
falsified documents in making hush money paymentsto porn actress Stormy Daniels. In about
four hours of deliberations yesterday, jurorsasked about testimony from former National Inquirer publisher
David Pecker and Michael Cohen, Trump'sformer fixer. They also asked to rehear
(22:03):
jury instructions. All charges have beendropped against the number one ranked golfer in
the world, Scottie Scheffler. Hewas arrested and charged with assault of a
police officer as he was trying toget to the PGA Championship in Kentucky a
couple weeks ago. Police say Schefflerignored instructions. Scheffler said it was a
misunderstanding. The charges were dismissed yesterday. An aggressive auditor otter is back at
(22:26):
the beach. The otter, knownas eight four to one, was spotted
over the weekend in the waters offSanta Cruz. He caught everyone's attention last
summer because he got aggressive with surfersand was able to evade capture by wildlife
crews. Wildlife officials are warning peopleto stay away from eight four to one
and any other sea otters you mayrun into in the water. At six
oh five, it's handle on thenews. Judge Alito says he is not
(22:49):
recusing himself from Supreme Court cases tiedto the January sixth Capitol riot. Why
Democrats want him to. Bill's goingto tell you. Call went out and
about two thousand Oaks for the ThousandOaks phil Harmonic. We went to see
some future musical stars. There aretwo more performances coming up next weekend,
(23:10):
so you do still have an opportunityto go see them. We caught up
with music director and conductor Maxim Kuzenduring intermission, so at this point we
had seen half the show and Ican tell you it was it was pretty
spectacular. Maxim. Can you pleasetell us what is so unique about the
Thousand Oaks phil Harmonic. Well,thousand Oxsphrmonic was created more than twenty years
ago by Francis Edward, a renownedlocal teacher pianist. Since then, we
(23:40):
built the organization, built a programwhich fosters young talents yea, and we
are as far as we know,we're the only professional symphony orchestra whose sole
mission is to support young talents.So we have during the year, we
have a young artist competition, okay, and we select about from twenty to
(24:00):
twenty four to twenty five young soulists, very talented and they are from Ventura
County, Malibu, Calabasses, thisthis area. So we limit ourselves purposefully
so that we serve these kids becauseLos Angeles have a little bit more.
Los Angeles County had a little bitmore of opportunities. So the program so
(24:21):
far raised quite a number of wellrounded, maybe to say renowned musicians like
Sean Chen pianist Sean Chan, AlexanderVassmann, cellist, Andrew Jones Jans sorry,
Andrew Jan's and we are continue ourmission, okay, And I'm like
(24:42):
practically speechless, which is not youknow, that doesn't happen very often for
me. But tell us about whosome of the kids that we got to
see perform today, because the onewe just saw come off stage, he's
a pianist and he's in fifth grade. Yes, yes, I mean it
was just spectacular, and he's notthe youngest. Last concert, last concept,
(25:03):
we had Claire Claire I don't rememberher last name. At the moment,
Claire is seven years old. Sheperformed three movement concerto. These kids,
some of them, some of themare really prodigy, like we had
Mozart and and some other you know, individuals who could play at the very
(25:23):
young age. God knows where there'stalent come from comes from. So we
these these kids, they have aunique opportunity as I as I think because
they have two concerts with a professionalsymphony orchestra, which is a very rare
opportunity. Usually in order to winsuch an opportunity, you need to win
(25:47):
a competition and then you are maybeone or two who are selected to perform
with a professional orchestra, usually onewe have here in Ventura County. We
have twenty four young musicians who hasan ability every year to win a ride
to perform. So some of themperformed with orchestra for three, four or
five times and performing two times onFriday and then on Sunday. On Friday,
(26:15):
they're always very nervous, yeah,and then on Sunday it's just a
delight. So you're lucky because yousee it on Sunday. Well, I
am, like I said, I'mkind of gobsmacked about how talented they are.
And yeah, I just think it'sgot to be such a cool experience
for them. I mean when Iplayed violin as a kid, and I
didn't play it very well, youknow, I played with a bunch of
(26:36):
people my age who are also weren'tvery good. But so them, for
them to be that talented and thenget the opportunity to play it with a
professional orchestra, I mean like,wow, yes, yes, we're very
We're very proud, and I thinkthat our mission is to support these young
kids. So we have not onlythe opportunity for them to perform, but
(26:59):
we also have an a see anotherprogram in Ornella Irvin, a local,
local, talented, it's extremely skillfulteacher. She she runs that program.
So kids enter into the program,they get master classes, they get opportunities
to perform in a chamber setting,in in local elder homes, you know,
(27:22):
facilities like that, and then goingthrough that program kind of raises their
level in a little bit. Andthen they have to compete in order to
get this opportunity. So they participatein the Young Artists competition and then if
they win, they have these exciting, exciting opportunities and I'm I'm I'm so
happy that we have these parents whosupport them because our mission is is here
(27:45):
in the in the community where weare local and we are devoted to these
young kids and to help them grow. Yeah, and so tell us because
we've got more performances coming up afterthis one. When's the next round of
performances? The next we will havetwo concerts in June. Every every year
we have three sets of two concerts. So next one in June, and
(28:08):
you you can go on our websitetail feel dot org. If I'm not
mistake, but if you google aone thousand ORCS Philharmonic, it's the first
choice and all information there and youcan buy tickets there. There is a
link. So please come to ourconcerts. I'm telling the people who are
in this area because this is reallyoutstanding opportunities as I think, and Amy,
(28:33):
you can you can tell it fromyour experience. Yeah, well,
and you called it a musical feast. I'm like, I'm ready for the
second course. And I think theother thing that's really cool is maximum when
you do your performance, it comesdown, comes over to the mic in
between the different performances and tells youa little bit about what's coming up,
(28:53):
which I think is really interesting becauseI don't know, I'm not familiar with
all of this, although that Mozart, I know that's my you know,
but that's a more familiar artist forus. So yeah, I just think
it's such a great way to spendan afternoon or evening. So I'm gonna
let you get back because I knowyou've got a lot to do. Maximkusin,
thank you so much for this opportunity. And if you're looking for something
(29:15):
really kind of interesting, slows youdown a little bit, makes you appreciate
life, because like music is goodfor the soul, and I think that
that is absolutely true. Like it'sjust because Nick went with me. Yeah,
and it it just it does slowyou down, and it makes you
just chill for a little bit andjust appreciate good music. Yes, and
(29:38):
I think watching these really young talents, you and I both talked to me
we were watching, but we kindof talked about the performance. It's incredible.
It really when you're saying it's incredibleand talking to the conductor, No,
it really is. To see you'renot lying, no, But I
know I think it sounds silly,but like these are genuine prodigies, and
to see them firsthand in person andto think what their future likely holds is
(30:03):
incredible, really just incredible. Yeah. So that's the Thousand Oaks Philharmonic,
and lucky for you, there aretwo more performances. Because Maxim was saying

bad seat in the house. Itreally is a very incredibly acoustically and very

pro Palestinian protest at UC Irvine.Faculty asked why a couple hundred officers swarmed
UC Irvine amid claims of violence whenno protesters were arrested for violent offenses,
and why campus communications inaccurately claimed hundredsof protesters had taken over a building two
weeks ago when initially it was justa few. UCI administrators talked about several
officer injuries and an erratic protester werearrested with knives to show the threat to
(31:55):
campus safety, and also how UCI'scommitment to free speech does not include unrest
or taking over a campus building.Faculty will review the document tomorrow. In
Orange County, Corbin Carson kff INews, a top Israeli official says the

the age of fifty five still havestudent loan debt they're trying to pay off.
A new survey from the Federal Reservesays half the borrowers are in the
middle income bracket and on average stillowe about fifty eight thousand dollars. That's
crazy. Okay ran across this storyand thought it was kind of interesting.
(34:04):
Nick and I were just talking aboutit, and that is Do you know
any people who always tell you howbusy they are? Oh? Yes,
always, and it always feels likethey're the only one that is as busy
as they are, So no oneelse is doing anything, No one has
the responsibilities or the workload or anythingto that level. So yeah, well,
so apparently bragging about how busy youare makes people think you're an idiot.
(34:30):
I've worked with several people like this, and sometimes like, I've worked
with several idiots, So yeah,you are legitimately busy. Nick Pauli o'kannie
is one of the busiest people I'veever met. This is the weirdest thing
to say, but thank you,trust me. And like I'll be sitting
on the couch and like binge watchinga show and he'll go, well,
I went to Disneyland, and thenI went to Nottsberry Farm, and then
(34:51):
I went to Universal Studios, andthen I went over to the Long Beach
Grand Prix and then I caught ashow with the Pantages. I'm like all
in one day, but you don't. You don't talk about it like oh,
I'm so busy, or that it'sannoying, like that you just are
busy. But I've worked with peoplelike this. I remember there was a
guy named Todd who I worked within Portland and he would always like,
(35:14):
go, oh, I was workinguntil eight thirty last night, and I'm
like, yeah, but you tooka three hour lunch. I mean like
he was always the person who wantedyou to know how hard he worked.
And I think that it's true.But they've done research on it now,
and researchers looked at like hundreds ofworkers and found that the stress braggers as
they call him, generated ill willand were less likely to get help from
(35:37):
co workers when they were legitimately overloaded. Yeah. No, and I agree,
and I think too, since we'rein this unique world that still has
some post pandemic, working from homeand working remotely, there's still a certain
amount of resentment as well. Sosomebody that is, you know, really
working so hard from home and youknow, is able to use the restaurant
anytime they want and be able totake a break anytime they want, all
(35:59):
the I'm on now, So yeah, I mean, not granted, obviously
a gripe of mine, but no, it just I don't know, it
just doesn't make sense to be complainingabout all that stuff. Well, and
here's the other the offshoot of thattoo, and this is it's published in
Personnel Psychology. Also shows that thepeople who are doing this stress bragging are
contagious. So when they're telling youhow busy they are. By constantly hearing
(36:24):
that, the people who are aroundthe bragger end up feeling more stressed themselves
and then are more likely to youknow, start getting burned out. Huh.
Yeah. It creates an expectation,apparently, that everybody should be operating
at this intense, unsustainable level.So when you're telling everybody how busy you
are, maybe rethink it and think, you know what, I bet he's
(36:46):
just as busy as me, orshe's just as busy as I am,
and quit bragging about how busy youare. Yeah, I agree, And
then I'm going to remember that becauseI have done it before, and I
catch myself off and I go,oh god, let's see. I think
that's one of those if it's infrequent, that's one thing. These are the
people that are doing it constantly,right mm hmm yeah. Yeah, So
(37:08):
okay, so we get away withit every one Now, every once in
a while, you get a passOkay, Hey, we were trying to
connect with the CEO of LA's WineFest, but having problems connecting with her
this morning, so we're going tostill tell you about this. And the
cool news is we have a pairof tickets to the La wine Fest,
which is happening at the Long BeachWaterfront this weekend. And we have a
(37:32):

(37:52):
at eight hundred five two zero oneKFI. That's eight hundred five two zero
one five three four again, apair of tickets to LA's Wine Festival.

fifty dollars. The general admission atthe gate is one hundred dollars, which
includes entry into the fest, asouvenir stemless glass that you get to keep,
